On Seeing Hard Things
I am going to be honest. I have not watched "12 Years a Slave." I mean to. I really do. But every time it comes down to committing to watching it, I just can't make myself do it.
I have also not watch "Django." Or "The Kite Runner." Or "Rabbit Wire Fence." Really anything that will make me cry. Ugly, heaving cries.
By the way, did I ever tell you about the time I read "The Kite Runner"? I was on a plane from Washington Dulles to San Diego and I was almost 7 months pregnant. I add that last fact in only to make you think that my hormones might have lead to some of my response to that book. In truth, it probably would not have made much of a difference. I sobbed on the plane reading that book. Like, sobs that made the other passengers sitting next to me uncomfortable. I tried to muffle my sorrow, but the tears flowed like tiny rivers down my face, landing in smudgy little drops on the pages of the book as I read.
The Proof is in the Bacon
This one's an oldie but a goodie. I hope you enjoy!
My kids are little toothpicks. Skinny, all lean limbed with very little body fat on them. I don't like it. I wish they were, I don't know. Meatier? Chubbier? When they get sick, they quickly lose what little weight they already have and fall into the 0-5 percentile on the charts that they show you at the Doctor's office.
Those charts are a little silly, don't you think? A child's height and weight is going to be some indicator of health, but you can't abide too much by those charts. I mean, they are comparing my little children to the rest of the American population. Since my background is Indian and my husband's is Italian and Puerto Rican, it would be much more accurate if they compared my kids to other kids who are:
The Weight of One More Thing
I haven't felt compelled to create anything in a while. This both saddens me and relieves me; in my past the pull to write or make music was so strong sometimes that I would find myself endlessly frustrated when I didn't have the time to devote to crafting something. Lately, time is not on my side. I find myself so busy with work and family that I can hardly close my eyes fully at night for fear that I have forgotten just one more thing. When I do find those glimpses of free time between conference calls, getting deliverables done and running to the next meeting, I find myself sucked into nothing worthwhile. Mostly I troll Facebook. I refresh my feed a lot because I don't have much time to spare and I want only the "newest" news.
Yes, I use the term news loosely.
More than Enough
There are times in life where I feel like it's easier to be hard on ourselves than forgiving; when it's easier to point out all our shortcomings than to accept that we are truly exceptional at some things. Lately, I have been finding myself going through this and I am having a hard time coming out on the other side of it.
A few years ago, I went through something that caused a great deal of emotional turmoil for me. It seems like it was so long ago in some ways, like yesterday in others, but let's just say that I have never fully recovered from the emotional roller coaster ride I experienced over the next few years.
Stop Being the Parent You Hate. Read this Book.
I don't really like reading parenting books. Hate 'em. I do. As a matter of fact, I would say I still have parenting book "burn out" several years after I tried unsuccessfully to do any of the following:
a. Have a panic free pregnancy after reading enough pregnancy books to know how large my unborn child was relative to fruit on any day of my pregnancy (i.e. your child is now the size of a baby kumquat).
b. Breast feed any of my children for more than four weeks after reading every single book I could find on stress-free breastfeeding. All of which stressed me out more and inversely reduced my milk supply.
c. Get my kids to sleep. I tried every strategy that The Baby Whisperer had to offer me and I tried so hard to have The Happiest Baby on the Block but the results were temporary at best and the ever present circles underneath my eyes indicated just how successful I was at employing the tactics. Although I was an awesome swaddler. I could swaddle a baby like nobody's business.
Tooth Fairy Chronicles
My daughter lost her first tooth the other day. It was a really momentous occasion, because you only lose your first tooth once and you'll always remember the day you got your first memento from the Tooth Fairy.
Seeing her lose her tooth made me nostalgic for my own first lost tooth. I remember that the Tooth Fairy gave me four dollars. That was a lot of freaking money for a tooth when I was 7 years old. But then after that, she really didn't deliver, often forgetting my next few lost teeth or sometimes downgrading me to a quarter or two.
Bitch set me up for disappointment.
John wasn't home yesterday to see Shaila's excitement over losing her teeth and I felt sad for him because if you don't know already, John loves teeth. His own glimmery, pearly white teeth always stand out in his smiles. He smiles all the freaking time, which I think is directly related to the fact that he is a show off and he wants people to see his teeth.
Down with Brown
I don't know if you guys noticed this fact about me yet, but I'm brown.
That's right. My skin color falls somewhere between a cappuccino and a latte. During the summers, it can borderline hot chocolate, depending on how much time I can log under the sun.
When you're Indian, and I imagine a lot of other ethnicities or races, there is a lot of pressure to stay on the lighter side of the spectrum. My sun loving tendencies and my thousands of hours of running cross country for years of my life often turned my vanilla latte skin into a caramel macchiato.
(Excuse me. Apparently I am thirsty and craving caffeine as I write this).
My husband's ethnic background is half Puerto Rican and half Italian. The end result is that my lovely children have also turned out a beautiful shade of brown.
Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
Facebook is really freaking weird sometimes, isn't it?
I have friends who are holdouts and won't join despite my prodding.
For one of my oldest friends, "Look, if people want to reach me, they'll find a way. I don't need all these random people in my life who I would never even talk to looking at my pictures." Fair enough.
For my Dad, who deactivated his account, "Why should I join Facebook anyway? So I can go see if (fill in the blank) changed her profile picture again? She does it every damn day!" Also fair enough.
For my Mom, who doesn't know how, "Beti, will you help teach me how to use it?" I don't think she will be joining anytime soon.
For some friends overseas, "Twitter is so much cooler. Facebook is for old people." Fine then. Let me get out my dentures.
Reunited and it Feels So Good
Note: In the above picture, there are a few oddities for sure. Ilya seems to think it's the fact that he is wearing a Rush shirt with a pentagram on it. I happen to think it's that I'm wearing blue contacts. Blue contacts, people.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
High school, that is.
I don't know many people who had an idyllic High School experience. Between the awkwardness, the growth spurts, the popularity contests that could rip to shreds even some of the strongest personalities, there was so much fodder for insecurity, that I am amazed that so many young children get out on the other side with their grace still intact.
Point Taker
It's nice to look into the eyes of your partner and know that you have found a safe haven, a person who accepts you for just yourself. That you have found someone who will never play a game of tit for tat with you and horror of horrors, start keeping score on your relationship.
Well, I hate to say it. I don't know when it all happened during my marriage, but at some point, I became an avid score keeper. Relentless.
At first, it wasn't like that at all. There didn't seem to be too many things to keep score over. Early on we found our cadence over things both simple and hard. We easily figured out how we would split holidays amongst our families and how we could support each other at work. Work travel schedules were tightly coordinated and in the absence of children and any really big problems, we could afford to be generous with the leeway we gave each other.

"slippery and sleepless"
Horrible. Our room was next to the "mechanical room", at exact 1 minute intervals, for a period of 10 seconds, a loud and obnoxious sound came through the wall, similar to a jackhammer. The desk clerk advised that they are aware, understand it to be unpleasant, but it was necessary for the delivery of hot water to guest rooms. This room should not be […] rented until the soundproofing is enhanced or the equiptment replaced with something more quiet. Couldn't watch television, listen to music, or sleep! The sidewalks were not shoveled and we were forced to cross a snowbank of 2+ feet to access the back parking area. The exit door was difficult to open; another guest showed us how to hit the lever with your fist (with good amount of force) to get the door to open; I am certain the fire marshall would disapprove. Went to close closet door, handle came off in my hand. Night stand only on one side of bed? Closet height only 1/2 and space below the clothes hanging low bar taken up by a safe.

"Best Grand Rapids Hotel!!"
I stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago very briefly. Got in late and had to leave early the next morning. Even though my stay was quite brief, the hotel staff made an impression on me - in a good way. So when I needed to stay in a hotel while visiting family, I made sure to book into this hotel. I was NOT disappointed! The fabulous free breakfast, […] being able to do my own laundry, Meijers right across the way are just a few reasons why I enjoyed my stay so much. Definitely booking here again when I need to stay in a hotel in GR. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Could have been much better"
We rented 2 rooms, one for us and 1 for my elderly mother for 2 nights. We were disappointed to find no covered driveway in front of the entrance and no easy way to get her in from the car on a very snowy weekend. The tile walk in front of the main entrance was wet and icy and the sidewalk to the driveway not kept well shoveled; some desk attendants […] were sympathetic but did not try to help. The dining area was inadequate for the number of guests and it was crowded Saturday morning .The coffee in the rooms was very unpalatable (and we're no coffee snobs}, and the maids cleaning our rooms left cold coffee in the pot when they cleaned. On both days, the coffee makers were unplugged in both rooms. I crawled under the desk to remedy ours but of course my mother was not able to do so. All in all, it was a disappointing stay. However, as we prepared to leave, the young lady at the desk on Sunday morning shoveled the walk all the way to our car in the only handicapped parking place accessible to the sidewalk. That was most appreciated. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Our family of 4 stayed for 3 nights. The location was perfect -- off the I96, on the 28th St. The only problem was heater!

"Been here before will be here again"
simply put and as always, nice little location safe and comfortable. Breakfast typical motel with good supply and variety. What makes this even nicer is the free "Dinner" offered. Ok it is usually chili or spaghetti and meatballs or cold cuts you get the idea. BUT considering it is free it is a nice offering.

"Great location close to airport and highways"
I stayed here for 2 nights. Flew in to GRR, slept over in the most comfortable bed, drove down to the Notre Dame v Navy game, drove back that night and had another amazing night of sleep, and left for my 5 minute drive to the airport the next morning. I only met the night staff and they were both wonderful. As I left at 6 both mornings, they made sure […] I had something available to eat before I left since breakfast wasn't served until 7.

We have been coming to Michigan for a little while. This was the first time that we stopped at this hotel. This was a very nice hotel for the money. The hotel was clean and the staff was very nice. Breakfast in the morning was satisfying and this gave you a little more for your money. We did not have to purchase any breakfast. The hotel was very comfortable, […] however, we did get smoke through the bathroom vent because I guess someone else was breaking the rules. We just closed our door to the bathroom and the rest of the room was fine. Turned our vent on and it was ok. I wish others would just follow the rules.

Stayed at this hotel because everywhere closer to Grand Rapids was booked due to ArtPrize. We thought it was great because the price per night was reasonable. We used the fitness room - fine treadmills, elliptical needs fixing, and the hot tub was small but very hot water, just the way we like it.

"Very nice hotel"
Wonderful hotel for the price with only one negative thing. We had a surreal experience in the two mornings that we went to the breakfast room. Saturday morning it was wonderful. They had scrambled eggs, sausages, fried potatoes, waffles, oats, bananas and many other items. The lady working there was very efficient and helpful. Sunday morning they were […] out of sausages, fried potatoes, waffles, bananas and oats. They were even out of bowls and some of the flatware. I think it was spoons that they were out of. I heard one lady go to the front desk and told the desk clerk that much was missing. The desk clerk, a woman, hardly looked up and said that it would be replenished. It never was.

"Very Disappointing versus other Country Inn's"
The hotel was not in the best of repair, was relatively clean but the carpet felt dirty, the rooms were at best average in cleanliness. The worst part of the stay was the breakfast - it was simply not a good experience. They were out of most things and not re-filling breakfast items fast enough to serve the number of guests that they had. Very disappointing, […] and when you compare this to the last two Country Inn & Suites that we have stayed, this one was not even close to the quality. Won't stay at that location again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Grand Rapids Airport, MI We strive to make sure every guest has enjoyed their stay with us, and I'm sorry that we did not do that for you. When breakfast gets busy, my front desk staff has been trained to jump in and help out where needed. We will use this feedback to ensure that this is happening so that future guests have the ability to enjoy our breakfast.
"Don't expect breakfast."
I picked this hotel, because it is pet friendly and included a breakfast buffet. There was nothing to make waffles with, no oatmeal, even though they had the Quaker container out, the eggs were watery, the potatoes cold and hard, no breakfast meats, no knives, the danishes were still frozen, and the orange juice watered down. We went to McDonald's […] instead. Besides that, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. Pretty nice place, overall. Bed was too hard for me. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

The service was exceptional, the pool and lobby were nice and the location is great. We stayed in a king suite and the room was nice, but warm and the fan blowing between the two rooms was noisy. But overall a nice place to stay at a decent price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

QUICK HITS: Notre Dame 38 Purdue 3
Posted by Tom Fornelli
NOTRE DAME WON. Notre Dame finally looked like the team it was hoping to be this year, and all it took was a date against Purdue to do so. This game was never really in doubt as the Irish scored a touchdown within the first 30 seconds of the opening kickoff, and finished the night with 549 yards of total offense. The majority of that damage came on the ground, as well, with Cierre Wood rushing for 192 yards and a touchdown while Jonas Gray rushed for 93 yards and a score of his own. Tommy Rees threw for 3 touchdowns and Michael Floyd returned to form with 12 receptions for 137 yards.
HOW NOTRE DAME WON. To put it simply, Notre Dame just has a lot more talent on its roster than Purdue does, and unlike the first four games of the Irish season, the Domers didn't hurt themselves with turnovers. That's right, for the first time this season, Notre Dame played a full 60 minutes without turning the ball over. And it was also the best that the Irish have looked all season. Coincidence? I don't think so.
WHEN NOTRE DAME WON. This one was over early. Purdue quarterback Caleb TerBush's first pass of the evening was picked off after he tried to force a bad throw into coverage, and two plays later Tommy Rees was connecting with Michael Floyd on a 35-yard touchdown. It was only 24 seconds into the game, but after those first three plays, you already had the feeling that Notre Dame wasn't going to have a lot of trouble on Saturday night.
WHAT NOTRE DAME WON. It's always nice for Notre Dame to beat an in-state rival, but really this is a game that the Irish should have won. Of course, considering the trouble that the Irish had in their first four games, coming out and dominating a team that it should dominate is a good sign. Outside of games with USC and Stanford, Notre Dame is through the toughest part of its schedule this year, and a 9-win campaign isn't completely out of the question.
WHAT PURDUE LOST. Purdue fans seemed to take exception to Brian Kelly's comments that this game was Purdue's "Super Bowl" earlier in the week, and I hope those Purdue fans were right, because if this was Purdue's Super Bowl, then there's a lot to worry about in West Lafayette this season. Purdue is now 2-2 on the year, and looking at the rest of its schedule and the way this team has played, it's hard to see the Boilermakers getting much more than 4 wins this season.
THAT WAS CRAZY. I repeat, Notre Dame played a full game without turning the ball over.

QUICK HITS: No. 3 Alabama 38, No. 12 Florida 10
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Check, check, check, checkmate.
WHY ALABAMA WON: Here's a statistic that illustrates the Tide's physical dominance over a team that itself had gotten off to a mighty physical start: Florida has outrushed its first four opponents by an average of 259 to 56, then was outrushed itself 226 to 15 by the Tide. Until an opponent finds some way of standing up to the Tide on both lines of scrimmage, three-touchdown victories are going to continue to be the norm.
But even so, an opponent like Florida might have at least been able to stay competitive if AJ McCarron had continued living up to his preseason (and early-season) reputation for the occasional wayward pass or poor decision. Sorry, Gators: McCarron only threw for 5.6 yards an attempt, but he continued to make nothing but safe, effective throws and the Tide finished the game without a turnover.
WHEN ALABAMA WON: The Tide likely already had all the points and all the lead they would need once they went up 24-10 in the second quarter. But Brantley's injury -- on yet another huge play by Upshaw -- made that all but official. At that point the only questions were how many yards Richardson could rack up and how many touchdowns the Tide would win by.
WHAT ALABAMA WON: Surely, a few more first-place votes. But unless Tyler Bray plays the game of his life in a few weeks, the Tide have also now cleared the only serious hurdle between themselves and rolling undefeated into the Game of the Year against LSU in November.
WHAT FLORIDA LOST: In the record books and SEC standings, not all that much, really; South Carolina's loss means they could maintain the favorite's role in the SEC East, and this was never the sort of team that could really dream about running the table to a crystal football.
But if Brantley is out for any extended period of time, that is as major a loss as they come. Jeff Driskel is a fine, fine prospect, but he's shown little to date that indicates he's ready to navigate the final three-quarters of an SEC schedule. As iffy as Carolina and Georgia have looked, if the Gators are forced to make do without their starting quarterback, the East door will be wide, wide open.

QUICK HITS: Texas 37 Iowa State 14
Posted by Tom Fornelli
TEXAS WON. The Longhorns are slowly starting to resemble the Longhorns of old these last few weeks. Texas had a rather easy time with a quality opponent on the road for the second game in a row, this time handing Iowa State its first loss of the season. The Texas offense wasn't fantastic, as it totalled only 400 yards of offense on the night, and went 4-of-14 on third downs, but it protected the ball and took advantage of opportunities it was given. On the other side of the ball, Texas forced three early turnovers to help put Iowa State in a deep hole early, and stymied the Cyclones offense for most of the night.
HOW TEXAS WON. With early help from Iowa State. The Cyclones turned the ball over three times in the first quarter which helped the Longhorns jump out to a 13-0 lead in the first fifteen minutes. The Longhorns would take a 34-0 lead into the locker room at halftime after the Iowa State offense failed to get anything going in the second quarter.
WHEN TEXAS WON. While the Longhorns had to be disappointed that they were only up 13-0 after forcing three turnovers in the first quarter, when David Ash hit Mike Davis for a 48-yard touchdown to put Texas up 20-0 early in the second quarter, Iowa State was on life support. Josh Turner then pulled the plug on the Cyclones when he scooped up a blocked punt and took it 34 yards to the house to make it 27-0 six minutes later.
WHAT TEXAS WON. Texas is getting its confidence back. It had to feel nice to get a bit of revenge against Iowa State after the Cyclones beat the Longhorns in Austin last season. More importantly for Texas, although the team is not fully back to the form we've grown accustomed to seeing over the last decade, this is a team that looks like it's starting to believe in itself again. Ever since Garrett Gilbert was replaced with Ash and Case McCoy, the team has looked a lot smoother, and with a game against Oklahoma looming on the schedule next Saturday, that confidence couldn't have come at a better time.
WHAT IOWA STATE LOST. Iowa State had to be feeling pretty good about itself after picking up wins over Iowa and UConn in its last two games, but it got a bit of a wake up call on Saturday night. This is a team that is improving under Paul Rhoads, but it also showed us on Saturday that it's a team that's not exactly ready to compete for a Big 12 title yet. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Cyclones can't make some noise in the Big 12 this year, and a bowl berth is still in play as long as the Cyclones can shake this loss off.

QUICK HITS: Oklahoma 62 Ball State 6
Posted by Tom Fornelli
OKLAHOMA WON. And boy did it. This was exactly the kind of game you'd expect out of a national title contender against a MAC school. The Sooners racked up 655 yards of total offense in this game, even though it removed most of its starters in the fourth quarter. Landry Jones had a Heisman-padding performance, throwing for 425 yards, 5 touchdowns and an interception. Dominique Whaley also rushed for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns while Jaz Reynolds caught 5 passes for 141 yards with a score and Ryan Broyles caught 4 passes for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns.
On defense, safety Tony Jefferson went about earning himself the Big 12 Defensive Player Of the Week Award by picking off 3 Keith Wenning passes. Oklahoma's defense forced 4 turnovers overall, and held Ball State to only 214 yards of offense.
HOW OKLAHOMA WON. By completely overwhelming Ball State on both sides of the ball. Oklahoma has a pretty big game against Texas next week, and they made this game look like a scrimmage in preparation for it.
WHEN OKLAHOMA WON. Ball State hung around with Oklahoma for the first 17 minutes, trailing only 10-6 early in the second quarter, but once Dominique Whaley scored a 25-yard touchdown to make it 17-6, this one was over.
WHAT OKLAHOMA WON. A game on the schedule and nothing more. It wasn't a conference game, and drilling a MAC school isn't going to do much to impress voters and help the Sooners overtake LSU in the AP poll.
WHAT BALL STATE LOST. I don't think it would be fair to say that Ball State lost anything in this game. It was a huge underdog coming into Norman, and no one was expecting all that much. Sure, losing this badly hurts any player's pride, but Ball State is still undefeated in the MAC and has wins over Indiana, Buffalo and Army that it can be proud of. The Cardinals will be fine and could still make some noise in the MAC this year.

QUICK HITS: No. 13 Clemson 23, No. 11 VT 3
Posted by Chip Patterson
CLEMSON WON. The Tigers have stepped up to every challenge this season, and for the first time in school history have defeated three straight ranked opponents. The 23-3 victory over Virginia Tech came thanks to a dominating defensive performance and enough just enough big plays from Tajh Boyd and Chad Morris' offense. While freshman standout Sammy Watkins was mostly held in check by Virginia Tech's secondary, tight end Dwayne Allen was once again a reliable target - hauling in four catches for 75 yards and a touchdown to lead the Tigers.
HOW CLEMSON WON: As great as Clemson's offense has been in the last two weeks, the victory over Virginia Tech was in large part thanks to the defense. The Hokies were held to just 258 total yards of offense, and held touchdown-less for the first time since 2006. The Tigers pressured quarterback Logan Thomas relentlessly, forcing him out of the pocket and sacking him on four occasions. Andre Branch, in particular, was a monster in the second half preventing the Hokies from getting back into the game.
WHEN CLEMSON WON: Virginia Tech's first drive of the second half stalled at the Clemson 45 yard line. When punter Scott Demler tried to pin the Tigers deep in their own territory, he ended up with an embarrassing 11 yard punt that was downed at the 34. The next three plays ended Virginia Tech's evening. Tajh Boyd 27 yard pass to Brown, Ellington seven yard run, Boyd to tight end Dwayne Allen for a 32-yard touchdown. With the Hokies' offensive struggles, there was little hope for a two touchdown comeback in the second half.
WHAT CLEMSON FORCE WON: Validation. Before the season this set of games (Auburn, Florida State, Virginia Tech) was supposed to give us an idea of how good Clemson was going to be this season. Perhaps they would win two, and hopefully stay competitive in all three. The Tigers have proved any and all doubters wrong (for the time being) by knocking off
WHAT VIRGINIA TECH LOST: Respect. The defending ACC champions kicked off their season with a cushy non-conference schedule that posed little threat to their status. But the Hokies were exposed on Saturday night, particularly on the offensive end. Combined with Georgia Tech's fast start, Virginia Tech's performance might have removed them from consideration as Coastal Division favorites.
THAT WAS CRAZY: Virginia Tech's inability to find the end zone against the Tigers was rare. In fact, the last time the Hokies did not score a touchdown at home was against Cincinnati in 1995. Another crazy fact? Clemson becomes the first ACC team in league history to beat three straight ranked teams. Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech have done it, but neither were members at the time.

QUICK HITS: Auburn 16, No. 10 South Carolina 13
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
WHY AUBURN WON: Because as terrible as Trotter was, Garcia was arguably even worse. The senior completed just 9 of his 22 passes for all of 160 yards, with one touchdown and two typically ugly interceptions. Remove a second-quarter 50-yard scoring bomb to an otherwise-quiet Alshon Jeffery and Garcia averaged all of 5.2 yards per-attempt against what few will debate is one of the SEC's most flammable secondaries.
With Garcia struggling, Auburn was allowed to tee off on Lattimore, holding the All-American to a pedestrian 3.9 yards per-carry on just 17 attempts. As for that latter number, Carolina fans will no doubt wonder why Lattimore wasn't fed the ball more often, particularly with the Gamecocks facing 1st-and-10 on their own 30 in the fourth quarter, up 13-9. Spurrier called for passes on both first and second down, with the result an incompletion and a sack. Carolina would have the field flipped on them following Auburn's next punt, starting at their own 12, and the Tigers would go on to start their ensuing possession on their own 43. Result: the game-winning touchdown drive.
To be fair to Auburn, though, they've made a habit of corralling Lattimore even when Garcia is playing well. (And to be fair to Spurrier, a first down handoff to Lattimore on that possession that began at the 12 lost two yards.) After three career games against the Tigers, Lattimore still has only 183 combined rushing yards--no doubt the biggest reason Auburn has gone 3-0 in those meetings.
WHEN AUBURN WON: Not until the Gamecocks' final desperation drive ended with Bruce Ellington being tackled in-bounds at the Auburn 30 and time expiring. But should it have? The gain was good enough for a first down and Ellington appeared to be tackled with 2 seconds left on the clock. But with the whistle blowing late, the officials elected not to put any time back on the clock for a last-gasp try. Gamecock fans will no doubt howl, though running the field goal unit on for a successful 47-yard try with no timeouts -- as would have happened if the play had been whistled correctly -- would have been quite the accomplishment.
WHAT AUBURN WON: Somehow, some way, Auburn's 11th straight game decided by a single possession. At 4-1 and 2-0 in the SEC, the Tigers have all but wrapped up a bowl berth -- not a given when the season began -- and could even crack the polls next week. The 13 points for Carolina is also a vindication for embattled defensive coordinator Ted Roof, whose unit had come under serious fire after their lackluster start to the season.
WHAT SOUTH CAROLINA LOST: With the Gamecocks' upcoming schedule (at Tennessee, at Arkansas, vs. Florida), any realistic hopes of wedging their way into the national title picture is almost certainly gone. Losing to a double-digit underdog at home won't do anything for their SEC East hopes, either; even after the win in Georgia, their margin-for-error in the divisional race is now eliminated. Oh, and Spurrier can only hold off the quarterback controversy for so long with Garcia playing like this. We think that's it.
THAT WAS CRAZY: No play more epitomized the often Keystone Cop-style display from both teams than the hideous interception thrown by Trotter into double coverage to Gamecock corner C.C. Whitlock (just three plays after Garcia's own wounded duck pick) ... only for Whitlock to get the ball stripped by Lutzenkirchen during the return, handing it right back to the Tigers. The drive would end, naturally, in a horrible lofted pass by Trotter to the back of Carolina's end zone, which was picked off by ... C.C. Whitlock.

QUICK HITS: Kansas State 36 Baylor 35
Posted by Tom Fornelli
KANSAS STATE WON. I don't think many people were giving Kansas State that much of a chance against Baylor this weekend, even after the Wildcats picked up a win on the road against Miami last weekend, but you have to believe that Kansas State may have converted some doubters on Saturday afternoon. It wasn't always pretty, and Kansas State wasted a few opportunities, but by the time the final second ticked off the clock the Wildcats had earned a 36-35 win over a ranked Baylor team to improve to 4-0 on the season.
HOW KANSAS STATE WON. It kept Robert Griffin in check, and that might not make sense if you look at Griffin's final stat line. He finished the game with 343 yards passing and 5 touchdowns, but there were also plenty of drives where Griffin and the Bears couldn't do anything. Kansas State's defense also forced 3 Baylor turnovers on the afternoon, including the first interception that Griffin through all season. That interception by Arthur Brown came with under 5 minutes to go in the game and gave Kansas State the ball inside the Baylor 20-yard line. Kansas State only got a field goal out of it -- the 3 turnovers the Wildcats forced only led to 6 points -- but that field goal was good enough to give Kansas State a 36-35 lead.
WHEN KANSAS STATE WON. It wasn't until a pass by Griffin on 4th and 2 was broken up at the line of scrimmage in the final minute that this one was iced. Kansas State's defense gave up yards and points on Saturday, but it really came through when the team needed it to the most in the fourth quarter.
WHAT KANSAS STATE WON. Kansas State earned a bit of respect after beating Miami last week, and was on the periphery of the polls this week. You have to think that beating a Baylor team that was ranked 15th in the AP poll will be enough to get Kansas State into the Top 25 on Sunday. More important than the rankings, however, is the fact that Kansas State is off to a 4-0 start and a 1-0 start in the Big 12. Bill Snyder has the Manhattan Magic going again.
WHAT BAYLOR LOST. This game could prove to be quite costly for the Bears. Sure, it's only one conference game, but odds are a loss against Kansas State was more than Baylor could afford if it had any shot of winning the Big 12 this season. This loss could also put a dent in Robert Griffin's Heisman campaign, because even though he had a great day overall, it was still his interception at the end of the game that led to the Kansas State victory.
THAT WAS CRAZY. Generally there's a lot of crazy in any game involving Baylor, but what stood out to me the play call on 4th and 2 in the final minutes. A tunnel screen on 4th and 2, Art Briles? Really? When you have Robert Griffin you don't even want to call a play that would allow him a chance to run for the first down? That makes no sense to me.

QUICK HITS: No. 21 Georgia Tech 45, NC State 35
Posted by Chip Patterson
GEORGIA TECH WON. In an odd game with both teams scoring in bunches, the Yellow Jackets jumped out to big leads twice to hold off N.C. State for a 45-35 win in Raleigh. Orwin Smith led the way offensively with 73 yards and three touchdowns, while the defense forced a crucial Mike Glennon interception in the fourth quarter. With the backups on the field, this game kept going until the final whistle thanks to a late scoring drive led by Wolfpack freshman quarterback Tyler Brosius.
HOW GEORGIA TECH WON: High scores have not been uncommon for the Yellow Jackets this season, but it was scoring in bunches that helped them to victory on Saturday. A 21-point burst to start the game and another one to start the fourth quarter gave Georgia Tech enough breathing room to keep a relentless Wolfpack team at bay. The outcome was up in the air on several occasions, but the deficit they created was too much for N.C. State to make up.
WHEN GEORGIA TECH WON: The Yellow Jackets opened up the fourth quarter by polishing off an extensive scoring drive to pull ahead 28-14. On the ensuing Wolfpack drive, Mike Glennon was picked off by Isaiah Johnson - who returned the inteception for a touchdown. The combination of the gritty scoring drive and pick-six back-to-back put the game away for Georgia Tech.
WHAT GEORGIA TECH WON: The respect of the ACC. With Miami continuing to struggle with consistency, it looks like the 2-0 Yellow Jackets might be frontrunners in the ACC Coastal Division. The road test against the Wolfpack put Paul Johnson's squad at risk of an upset, and they answered with game-changing turnovers and deflating scoring plays. The only negative from Saturday's test might be the health of linebacker Jeremiah Attaouchu, who left the game with a right leg injury.
WHAT N.C. STATE LOST: The Wolfpack fans suffered the worst kind of loss on Saturday. After charging back from an early 21-0 deficit, N.C. State looked very much in the game into the fourth quarter. However, after Mike Glennon's pick six and Roddy Jones' 38-yard touchdown reception the fans in Carter-Finley started heading for the exits. But the fans don't play the games, and the team has a lot of good they can take away from this game. The long drives and hard running from James Washington should be signs of good thigns to come from a Glennon-led offense, and a thin defense stepped up after giving up the three fast scores.
THAT WAS CRAZY: N.C. State's extended injury report had many believing the Wolfpack had little chance of victory against the high-powered Yellow Jackets. Ball control with the rushing game and the defense were two areas of concern heading into the contest. For three quarters, those two facets of N.C. State's play were what was keeping the game close. The thin defense found ways to slow down Geogia Tech, including a goal line stand on 4th and 1 and holding the Yellow Jackets to their second-lowest rushing total on the season.

Classic Pirate Minifigures ~ Lt. de MartinetJanuary 1st, 2006 posted by Captain Zuloo
Lt. de Martinet
As second in command of the imperial soldiers under Governor Broadside, Lt. de Marinet was constantly kept busy fighting off pirates, in particular Captain Redbeard.
Lt. de Marinet seemed to be a very adventurous minifig, appearing in many sets including 6258 Broadside's Brig, 6265 Sabre Island, 6267 Lagoon Lockup and 6276 Eldorado Fortress. He was quite a successful leader too, serving under Governor Broadside from 1989 to 1991 when the Soldiers were finally driven out of power by the Imperial Guards led by Admiral Woodhouse.
He was always destined for adventure, and when he was given the flick by the Imperial Guards, he allegedly became a merchant captain of a small trading ship in 6277 Imperial Trading Post as Steve before joining the crew of 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner.

Classic Pirate Minifigures ~ Captain RedbeardJanuary 1st, 2006 posted by Captain Zuloo
Captain Redbeard
Also known to the pirates in some countries as Captain Roger, Captain Redbeard is certainly in control of these waters! Being the only pirate to appear in almost every set, he was quite regular in everyone's collection.
He commanded his flagship, the 6285 Black Seas Barracuda, but has also been seen to sail in comand of ships like 6285 Skulls Eye Schooner, 6289 Red Beard Runner and 6250 Crossbone Clipper. He also appeared in many of the land based sets as either a master, or an enemy.
His main rival in the earlier sets, 1989 - 1991, was Governor Broadside, although was later replaced by his red counterpart, Admiral Woodhouse, 1992 - 1995. These two chaps chased Redbeard around for many years, but never seemed to catch him on his ventures. He also had many attempts to steal King Kahuka and the Islander's treasure, but a later pirate, Ironhook seemed to have more success at that.
Although he is quite simple, he was quite an experiment by LEGO®, as he and his crew were the first minifigs to leave the classic LEGO minifig head: two dots and a curved mouth. So you could say that Captain Redbeard was a leader and pioneer in more than one field. But he will always remain the main icon of the LEGO Pirates line.
Classic Pirate Minifigures ~ King KahukaJanuary 1st, 2006 posted by Captain Zuloo
King Kahuha
A leader in his own way, King Kahuka was the big boss of another LEGO® pirate line faction - the Islanders.
The Islanders were released in the year of 1994, and were apparently second rivals to the pirates and Captain Redbeard, although Broadside and Woodhouse didn't appear to have that much to do with them. King Kahuka was much more active in the world than the two military men, and about equal to Redbeard as far as how regular they were. The Islander king appeared in 6236 King Kahuka's Throne, 6256 Islander Catamaran and 6278 Enchanted Island.
Captain Redbeard was a problem for the Islander king at first, then Captain Ironhook was a nuisance before Captain Redbeard returned to the scene with Ironhook as part of the crew.
A great addition to the Classic Pirate line was the Islander faction, and they were led by a more than suitable king all the way until they were discontinued in 2001.
6240 Kraken Attackin' – Pirates 2009January 1st, 2006 posted by Zorro
This small to medium-sized set, belonging to the new 2009 Pirates line, features a giant Kraken that attacks a small raft of some pirates that are trying to escape with their loot!
6240 Kraken Attackin' counts 78 pieces and has 2 pirate-minifigs, a parrot and of course the Kraken itself, also included is a small raft that has its own crow's nest and a paddle to steer it! The pirates are armed with a cutlass and musket, and have a box with some gems they probably found on an island, the only thing I actually miss in this beautiful set is a sail for the raft. The current retail selling price is set at 9 USD, IMO a fair price. The LEGO Group offers an age advisory of 5 to 12 years, but that has never stopped a real AFOL before!
So rush to the Pirates forum to discuss Kraken Attackin', one of the new Pirates 2009 sets!
Classic Pirate Minifigures ~ IslandersJanuary 1st, 2006 posted by Captain Zuloo
The Islander Girl
A beauty queen of the golden age of sail, the Islander girl had quite a simple face in comparison to the other Islanders with just her lipstick coated lips, two eyes and messy hair. Although this didn't stop the Renegade Pirates and Ironhook from - er - appreciating her company? She was only in two sets: 6256 Islander Catamaran and 6278 Enchanted Island, appearing in the latter with a quiver across her back - not quite the tame beauty, after all! She is thought to be King Kahuka's daughter.
The Islander Boys
Led by King Kahuka, there's not much to say about the Islander boys, because not much is known about them. They were quite secretive fellows, and they didn't let on much. But what we do know is that they were in sets 6278 Enchanted Island, 6260 Kahuka's Throne, 6241 Crocodile's Cage, 1788 Pirate's Chest, 6264 Forbidden Cove and 6256 Islander Catamaran, normally armed with spears or bow and arrows, making them essentially warriors.
The Islanders had no problems with Captain Redbeard, Broadside or Woodhouse, as the latter steered clear of them as he knew they were more skilled in battle than him, and the other two weren't on the shelves at the time.
The Islander Prince
The Islander Boys all look the same - apart from one fellow in 6264 Forbidden Cove, who wears the same bone necklace and facepaint as King Kahuka, but not the red mask. His similarity to the Islander King, but without the regal objects - the mask, staff and crocodile-chariot - leads us to believe he is, perhaps, Kahuka's son, the prince (and thus the brother of the Islander Girl).
Whenever more than one Islander appears in a set, Kahuka is always there to order them about. The sole exception is 6247 Forbidden Cove, implying that the Islander Prince has a measure of power over his fellow Islanders when Kahuka is not present.
PICTORIAL REVIEW: 6260 Shipwreck IslandJanuary 1st, 2006 posted by Zorro
I remember being really excited about this set before I owned it, probably because it looked really interesting in the yearly LEGO catalogues. Problem was the price tag was creeping up near $30 of the local currency which is quite expensive for something this size, and even more expensive back in the early 90's.
After months of chopping my grannies' wood and watering their gardens to earn some money, the set went on sale at the local Kmart for 25% off. This was my chance to own it. So I bought one as soon as I could! Finally this set I'd been yearning for what seemed an eternity was mine!
Only problem was after I built it, the set didn't seem that exciting...
The set comes with all the essential pieces for building a Pirate island, only problem was for its retail price it didn't come with enough. I think this is why I was initially disappointed, I was expecting more and The LEGO Group did a wonderful job of making the smaller LEGO sets look so much bigger than they really were. Fortunately now, the set can be acquired much cheaper from eBay and my budget has vastly increased so that initial disappointment has long faded. Now I can look at this set for what it really is!
The design looks cohesive, not a "hotch potch" throw-together like its mid 90's counterpart, 6296 Shipwrecked. Everything is well balanced and the set is a marvellous depiction of two shipwrecked survivors who've built a small shelter with what little they could muster. Still, all these years later I feel the need to reiterate its a bit on the small side.
Probably the most alluring aspect of Shipwreck Island is the attention to detail - there's a cannon complete with cannon balls, a palm tree, a flag, a palm tree, some leaves, treasure chest with treasure, even a tub with an oar to assist one of the pirates in seeking help. There is also plenty of mini-figure weaponary and ample fauna for the size of the island.
Shipwreck Island is definitely a good set for parts and if you were MOCing with 6270 Forbidden Island the pieces might prove useful. However, Shipwreck Island by itself would seem to have limited MOCing possibilities even if more than one was used the problem would persist due to lack of substantial building elements.
As a set Shipwreck Island would make a charming addition to your collection, it has a nice design and plenty of accessories to keep thing interesting. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, but this rating system forces me to round up to 3.
And now it's your turn! Rate 6260 - Shipwreck Island (not the review) in the Pirates forum, and then leave some comments!

My AC contractor just finished installing a new central ac system in my house. All new equipment and all new ductwork. Replaced a (mostly) 25 year old system. The team did a fine job - no complaints! Included in the work contract was a provision to remove all debris. So included in all this stuff that they hauled off was my exisiting 5 year old 10 SEER Weatherking compressor (that was working fine) and whatever Freon was recovered from the old system. I could tell that the workers took care in removing this compressor unit and did not treat it in the same manner as the rest of the garbage. Question... what is the value of this used compressor and freon. Will the contractor re-use them somehow? Should I have received some compensation for this stuff???
Thanks very much for your responses.
Any idea of how many lbs of Freon would be in a 3 Ton system? What would be a current wholesale price. I know I paid $45/lb (retail) last season when the ac tech added at least 2 lbs.

your old equipment really has no value. sometimes the guys working on the system will save and use as favors. refrigerant recovery bottles cost about 90 dollars now. i just spent 450 bucks getting rid of 200 lbs of r22 in old style recovery bottles. plus the original cost of the bottles. so i figure it cost me $4/lb to dispose of properly per epa guidelines.
