To day was a travel day. We got our stuff packed up and out to the car early, had breakfast at the restaurant (egg white omelette with goat cheese, spinach and mushrooms), and headed over tot he meeting room. She(WMBO) was there in Phoenix for a Summit of employees, consultants, ans clients. Her boss, their CEO, and the company namesake was giving a lecture (which is part of what he does) called Going from Ordinary to Extraordinary. Some good stuff that I may try to share here over the next couple of weeks once my binder gets home. We had it shipped with a bunch of other folders She had sent home.
One of the things I hate about travel is eating. Not just eating in restaurants. That bugs me because I am not in control and yet at the same time, I want to be as "normal" as I can. I don;t want to be a drama queen about my food.
The airport s a whole other thing. So few good choices. And the conference center was a veritable mine field. There was fruit, but there was also granola, and muffins, and peanuts, and a whole host of things that have a false halo of healthy eating attached to them.
And I had some of them. At first I felt guilty. Then I thought ... you know, generally I eat very well, as in the correct thing. And I know the difference, so I know how I will get back into control in the coming days and weeks. Understanding what is happening is way better, I think, than just stuffing my face.
We got to LA this evening and we wen to the haunted house where Mike is working. I was duly impressed. And people who knew him pulled us aside to tell us what a great guy he is. I knew that, but it was nice to hear it from the people he has gotten to know here in LA.
Also, I saw a lot of people She works with in Phoenix who I have not seen in five years or more. It's nice to hear the compliments on my weight loss/regained health. I liked it.
I must keep it short tonight, as I am really tired, sleepy, from a bad night last night.
They cancelled the NYC Marathon. I think that is a good idea. I don't think the runners were being insensitive. I think the Mayor and NYRR were being tone deaf. But the runners would have been doing what runners do, run. They paid their money, rented their hotel rooms, etc. (Rumors of hotels evicting storm victims in favor of marathoners are just that: rumors. I Google the issue every whichg way but Sunday, then I Google Sunday too and all I found was hoteliers *refusing* to evict victims. So my guess is it was a rumor, maybe with some scintilla of truth, maybe one hotel doing it, and it became an urban legend.) They just wanted to run. But as word spread and rumors spread and frustration and anger spread, it became, in my opinion very possible that some victims might lash out against a runner. Police would not be able to ensure safety of the runners. Best to cancel.
Sometimes, "it looks bad" is a good reason.
NBA Knicks, NBA Nets, NFL Giants, and Bette Midler's Hollyweird friends, they are or were safe behind walls. Somehow no one thinks it's insensitive for them to go about life as usual, but runners? Tsk Tsk Tsk.
There seems to be some controversy brewing about the NYC Marathon on Sunday.
"Amid intensifying criticism, New York Road Runners continued Thursday to prepare for the New York City Marathon with an abbreviated schedule of events leading to the race. "
Lots of outrage about the NYC Marathon being run on Sunday. Maybe deserved, maybe not. Maybe not because I don't see outrage over Nicks, Nets, and Giants playing their games.
And then there is this: tinyurl.com/d257ll8
Headline in the Daily Mail Online: C'est la vie! Bette Midler celebrates Halloween with extravagant French themed party in New York, despite Hurricane Sandy destruction
Maybe if the outrage were equally placed it would have more impact.
Should it be run or not?
I say: Yes, but every runner should be given a work card and gloves at the start line. Runners should run from work station to work station completing an assigned clean up task. Their card would be validated by a race marshall before they could go to the next station. The winner would not be the first across the line. It would be the first across the line who has completed the most clean up stations on the card. 45,000 athletes could do a lot of work.
Here we are in sunny Phoenix. It is pleasantly warm. And the hotel we are at is quite swanky. It is the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa. Look it up. Nicitey nice nice. It's work so work is paying for it.
We are in a Villa. It is more like a condo with a nice comfortable king size bed, a living room, kitchen walk-in, and balcony. Outside in the court yard is an Olympic size pool! I was able to get in 1000 meters after dinner tonight. Nice!
I packed expecting your standard hotel pool and did not pack trunks. So to remedy that, we walked 2 miles over to the Biltmore Fashion Center and went to Macy's where I remedied that situation. Yes, November 1 and they still had trunks. Nice!
We also visited the Apple store in the shopping center and so many new gadgets for my iPhone and iPad. Camera accessories. A blood pressure cuff. A Bluetooth scale. A thing for my bike so I can make my phone a bike computer. A console for the iPad that make it play like and Atari arcade game. So much stuff. So exciting. I felt the need to have a cigarette and go to sleep when we left. Nice!
After that walk while She(WMBO) checked into the Spa for a massage, I went running along the Arizona Canal Trail. Very Flat, but even on November 1, it got hot here. So I kept it slow, watching my heart rate. Sill I got in 4.9 miles in 55 minutes and arrived back at the room at exactly the same time She was returning from her Massage. Nice.
Finally dinner was a company affair and I managed to eat only enough to be satisfied. And I was very careful on the desserts. I took the cheese cake and I only had two small bites of it. It was delicious, but honestly, I wanted the pleasure of its flavor, not a second meal. Nice!
Tomorrow we have a thing and even though I am not an employe, I am expected to go. "If I have to sit through all these seminars, so do you." Ok. I suppose I can sacrifice for a day. I will just have to suffer. But if it's the payment I must make to stay in thisplace, I would consider it ... Nice!
I was sent this by a Facebook friend:
So I'm at Wal-Mart buying a bag of Purina dog food for my dog. While in the check-out line, a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
Why else would I be buying dog food, RIGHT???
So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Better watch what you ask me and be prepared for my answer. I have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.
I was at the airport when I read this. I laughed so loud people at the next gate looked at me.

text: The Predatory Nature of Human Existence is a predominant theme in both Cast Away and Jonny 2x4. It teaches a grim lesson about the nature of human existence. Jonny and Chuck both have a profound sense of loneliness and isolation. Chuck is literally deserted on an island, whereas Jonny is deserted psychologically. They both desire the comfort of a friend, but will settle for the attentive ear of a board of wood and a volleyball. That's kinda tragic. But it just goes to show that humans need a friend.

hey so i just played this game as lee sin against a leona jungle and i absolutely destroyed her getting 2 kills on her before 10 min and taking her buffs and jungle allowing me to continue to steal all her buffs by timing them. Needless to say we snowballed like crazy through red buff ganks succeeding but i did die a few times because they warded their buffs and killed me when i took them basically and i had issues ganking bot lane also because taric had it warded and could only gank by timing the ward for one good gank. So basically my issue is wards everywere knowing that i would come and take all the buffs. Now i know that oracles would be good here but my issue is that i dont run flash on lee so i can counter jungle with exhaust and when i get caught like the time they caught me at red buff, i sometimes dont have the time to ward jump or i cant jump over a wall because im to far away; therefore, having an oracles would basically set me back a kill worth of gold. Wut naowz
What would you recommend ~1200 elo players do to get better?
King Kappa
I want to improve my Galio, so I figure I need to ask someone really good.
My problems :
1. Winning my lane
2. Landing my skill shots
3. Going out of my lane to gank as well as accepting ganks
4. Map control and awareness
5. I never use wards on Galio
6. Killing my opponent in lane
7. Should I go with a full flat MR rune page on him because of his passive and if not, what?
Things I know I'm decent at :
1. Landing skill shots on ANY champion other than Galio... =/
2. Farming, averaging 80 cs in the first 10 minutes as Galio. That's more or less what I saw in IEM Kiev
3. Surviving ganks. I've only died once in a gank as Galio despite never having used wards on him.
4. Positioning.
1st off i wanted to say im really impressed ur still answering questions. I wish more people wud be as kind as u. truly appreciated. I had a few questions myself. First off: I'm level 26 and I've been debating about roles/runes. I have lee sin, akali, and riven as my best played champs and I know I can jungle/solo top with all of em (except akali jungle). What wud be tips for WHEN i shud pick one of them over the other? (i read about the akali not being picked early in case of getting coutnered). Also, when should i start building runes? I'm still not sure if I'm happy with just having these as my go-to champs for the games that count (ranked) and so I'm still thinking of getting other champs instead of runes... note: i do have jarvan,corki,yi,poppy,trist,veigar,ww,and zilean as my other champs in case that helps in any way. Thank you so much again for all your effort and kindness!
1. I don't want to shift all blame from myself as I do make mistake sometimes, but I feel as though more often than not I get one or two team mates who specifically call a certain roles then have no idea what they're doing at them. Is this common in all elo levels or just because I've sunken into elo hell?
2. Recently I've been stuck in the support roles alot, at first I hated it but I've become more and more accustomed to it, but I've been besides both sides of the river where else should I be placing wards? I usually play Soraka, what should I be focusing on doing during team fights? Healing? Silencing potential damage dealers?
Thank you for your time.

All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.
All it takes to be made in life is just humility/punctuality/availability/utilization/maximization of the prospects i.e. chances or opportunities for success.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments yoiu make the better.
All life passes like a fast flowing river and how strange to see that happiness increases this speed! Yes, a happy life passes faster!
All men start life as a road-user and only few continue it as a road-creator!
All my life I have always known I was born to greatness.
All my life i have fancied a beautiful man by the name of Murthaza he makes me happy when i am sad. He makes me feel things i have always dreamed of -harry james
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
All my life I wanted to be someone I guess I should have been more specific.
All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.
All my life, affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.
All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it.
All my pupils are the crme de la crme. Give me a girl of an impressionable age, and she is mine for life.
All of life is a dispute over taste and tasting.
All of life is a risk; in fact we're not going to get out alive. Casualness leads to casualties. Communication is the ability to affect other people with words.
All of life's great lessons present themselves again and again until mastered.
All swallows all. Life must eat life to survive.
All that counts in life is intention.
All that I desire to point out is the general principle that Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.
All that is really necessary for survival of the fittest, it seems, is an interest in life, good, bad, or peculiar.
All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
All that life unfolds/offers is transient. i.e. it lasts only for a short time. So, if/when life is soft/good to you, do glorify/appreciate God the giver and then, enjoy/celebrate/share it positively/cheerfully. But, if/when life is tough/bad to you never worry. For, your tough/bad time will sooner or later subside/vanish.

Griffin to Sebelius: Work with Us to Save Medicare, Increase Our Ability to Fund Critical Investments Like Medical Research
WASHINGTON – At today's Ways and Means Committee hearing on President Obama's 2015 budget proposal, Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) questioned U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about whether the Obama Administration will ever address the problem of mandatory entitlement spending eating up discretionary spending on critical investments.
During a July 11, 2011 press conference at the White House, President Obama said:
The vast majority of Democrats on Capitol Hill would prefer not to have to do anything on entitlements; would prefer, frankly, not to have to do anything on some of these debt and deficit problems….
And what I've tried to explain to them is, number one, if you look at the numbers, then Medicare in particular will run out of money and we will not be able to sustain that program no matter how much taxes go up. I mean, it's not an option for us to just sit by and do nothing. And if you're a progressive who cares about the integrity of Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, and believes that it is part of what makes our country great that we look after our seniors and we look after the most vulnerable, then we have an obligation to make sure that we make those changes that are required to make it sustainable over the long term.
And if you're a progressive that cares about investments in Head Start and student loan programs and medical research and infrastructure, we're not going to be able to make progress on those areas if we haven't gotten our fiscal house in order.
In his 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama said: "Yes, the biggest driver of our long-term debt is the rising cost of health care for an aging population. And those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms -- otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children, and jeopardize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations."
Over President Obama's five years in office, the national debt has increased $6.9 trillion, from $10.6 trillion to $17.5 trillion.
Under President Obama's 2015 budget proposal, the federal budget would never balance—ever. In fact, it would add $8.3 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years, and gross debt would climb to $25 trillion in 2024.
GRIFFIN: What I'd like to talk with you a little bit about is the issue of investments…. Almost every constituent that comes to see me in my office talks about the need for additional funding, for example, for the NIH [National Institutes of Health], for Alzheimer's research, for cancer research, MS [Multiple Sclerosis], diabetes, they may talk about education, they may talk about some other program that is funded by discretionary spending. And a lot of times, when people mention investments, that's what they're talking about. And I have supported increasing NIH research funding; I wish we had the money to increase it drastically. But the reality is that that funding is getting squeezed out by the growth of entitlement spending. If you could look, I have a slide here. This is something that President Obama said in 2011:
GRIFFIN: [Now let's move on to the] Next slide. This is what I call "the Pac-Man problem" [video]. I use this to explain to folks who come to visit me why the funding that they are in favor of—which, often, I favor; NIH funding for example—why it's under pressure. It's under pressure because the yellow part, which we recognize as Pac-Man, is continuing to close its mouth on all the stuff that you refer to as "investments."
GRIFFIN: And HHS Secretary after HHS Secretary—in both administrations, Republican and Democrat—praised their budget as fixing the problem. But the problem persists. And I just invite you to work with us for real reform on Medicare to fix this, and I would welcome your comments on how your budget will address this problem.
SEBELIUS: Well, sir, I would welcome the opportunity to work on a serious, big budget deal, including entitlement reform but also including tax reform and revenue sharing and spread that equally across the board. I would say that the passage of the Affordable Care Act [Obamacare] was one the most significant issues of late to increase the solvency of the Medicare trust fund. The Trustees put that passage at about a 12-year additional solvency. This budget adds an additional five years, so when this President came into office, Medicare was likely to go broke in 2017. That window has now been significantly extended and this committee has voted 50 times to repeal those very—
GRIFFIN: But you're robbing Peter to pay Paul and the seniors are bearing that burden.
According to the House Budget Committee: "Advocates of the President's health care law claimed that the law both improved Medicare's solvency and paid for the new entitlement at the same time. This claim is contradictory. Medicare's chief actuary testified before the House Budget Committee that the Medicare savings had been double-counted."
In July 2012, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that Obamacare's cuts to Medicare will total more than $700 billion.
In a 2009 interview with ABC News reporter Jake Tapper, President Obama said:
TAPPER: One of the concerns about health care and how you pay for it — one third of the funding comes from cuts to Medicare.
BARACK OBAMA: Right.
TAPPER: A lot of times, as you know, what happens in Congress is somebody will do something bold and then Congress, close to election season, will undo it.
OBAMA: Right.
TAPPER: You saw that with the "doc fix."
OBAMA: Right.
TAPPER: Are you willing to pledge that whatever cuts in Medicare are being made to fund health insurance, one third of it, that you will veto anything that tries to undo that?
OBAMA: Yes.
As Jeffrey H. Anderson, who was the senior speechwriter for former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, recently explained in The Weekly Standard:
One of President Obama's greatest political challenges has been hiding the fact that Obamacare is largely financed by siphoning huge sums of money out of Medicare. In particular, Obamacare cuts—or guts—Medicare Advantage, the popular program that allows seniors to get their Medicare benefits through private insurers. In fact, it's only these Medicare Advantage cuts that allow the Congressional Budget Office to pretend that Obamacare won't raise deficits—an implausible notion that polling indicates only a very small percentage of particularly credulous citizens believe.
Late on Friday, February 21, in a 148-page, after-hours communication, the Obama administration declared that cuts to Medicare Advantage, long put off, will finally take effect in 2015. Predictably, and understandably, many conservatives responded by criticizing the announcement.
The cuts are bad in and of themselves, but cuts to the program have been a part of Obamacare's written text from day one. So the real question is not whether Obamacare will cut Medicare Advantage; it's whether the Obama administration—which doesn't want those cuts to become evident when Medicare's open-enrollment period begins on October 15, less than three weeks before Election Day—will take unilateral, lawless executive action to stop the cuts from taking place. That's what has happened to date.
In the lead-up to Obama's reelection, he and his administration weren't satisfied with having mailed out full-color, taxpayer-funded propaganda brochures and run millions of dollars' worth of taxpayer-funded TV ads featuring Andy Griffith, all touting Obamacare to seniors. They knew that such nonsense would quickly be exposed if Obamacare's prescribed Medicare Advantage cuts were to take effect: Seniors would have started noticing those cuts on October 15, 2012….
Now, two years later…Medicare Advantage is back on the chopping block. The CBO says that if Obama's centerpiece legislation is implemented as written, about $200 billion will be funneled out of Medicare Advantage and into Obamacare over the next decade. Like low-premium health plans and their accompanying health savings accounts, both of which Obamacare aims to diminish or eliminate, Medicare Advantage has proven extremely popular: Its enrollment more than doubled, according to the New York Times, in just the past eight years. With over 15 million seniors now in the program—more than a quarter of all Medicare beneficiaries—Obama-care's $200 billion raid amounts to about $13,000 per current Medicare Advantage enrollee.
But Medicare Advantage is hardly the only part of Medicare that is scheduled to be looted by Obamacare. The CBO projects that, over the next decade, about $1 trillion that would otherwise have been spent on Medicare will be rerouted to Obamacare. That represents more than 10 percent of Medicare's entire projected funding—which helps explain why Medicare's Office of the Actuary has projected that, by 2020, Medicare will reimburse doctors and other health care providers at lower rates than Medicaid will. Imagine if Obama had pitched Obamacare by saying, Folks, we're going to pass health reform, and to pay for it, we're going to divert more than 10 percent of the money that's projected to be spent on Medicare. That pitch would have made Jimmy Carter's "malaise" speech look like a triumph of political rhetoric. But, as the CBO notes, that's exactly what Obamacare will do.
To be sure, Medicare badly needs to be reformed, and less should be spent on it. But at a time when we are $17 trillion in debt and our Army is shrinking to pre-World War II levels, money shouldn't be reallocated from Medicare to finance a highly unpopular, $2 trillion overhaul of American medicine….
In September 2013, the non-partisan actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) concluded that Obamacare would increase national health spending $621 billion over the next 10 years.

Hornady® ONE SHOT® with DynaGlide™ Plus Gun Cleaner and Dry Lube
- One-step gun cleaner and lubricant
- Cleans grit, grime, and oil from firearms
- Reduces friction
- No oily mess
- Odorless after application
- Dual corrosion resistant technology
Manufacturer item #: 9990.
Hornady® ONE SHOT® with DynaGlide™ Plus Gun Cleaner and Dry Lube 1 1
Hornady ONE SHOT with DynaGlide. I have a shotgun set-up for predator hunting that can be picky about what lube I use on it, and when I use Hornady One Shot gun cleaner & dry lube with Dyna Glide the action is silky smooth and performs flawlessly. I also use it on my two .22 rifles (1 in .22 LR & 1 in .22 WMR.) and apply it to the bores of the barrels after thoroughly cleaning them and noticed that cleaning the inside of the barrels is not only easier but they stay cleaner longer after a day at the shooting range. Great product from a great company and would recommend it to any avid hunter or target shooter. September 2, 2013

I have been kind of bored by Lucky ever since they got a new Editor-in-Chief, but the November issue actually left me satisfied. There seemed to be more affordable clothes and accessories than usual, I enjoyed the feature on layering, and, HELL YES, Solange Knowles was featured as the month's "Lucky Girl." Solange, of course, is Beyonce's younger sister — or as Dlisted calls her, "Basement Baby" — but ever since our girl Annika introduced me to her awesomeness, I have considered her to be the most stylish Knowles. Case in point: in the Lucky photo, Solange has done her braids up like Janet Jackson in "Poetic Justice," a movie I loved back in the day (it also stars Tupac!) and am now going to Netflix immediately. Solange, lookin' good, girl. [Lucky: Tumblr]

Qtrax is an ad-supported digital music service aimed at providing high-quality downloads via Mac and PC.[2] The New York based company now holds license agreements with a number of major and independent labels.[2] CEO Alan Klepfisz has stated that maintaining compensation for copyright holders while capturing part of the 95 percent marketshare that continues to download illegally is the ambition behind Qtrax's current model.[2]
Qtrax currently allows music fans to download free music from three of the major labels – EMI, Sony Music and Universal Music Group[3] The Qtrax client has been created on the Microsoft Silverlight Platform.[4] The service is free to use with registration and generates revenue by a combination of advertising and strategic partnerships.[5] Qtrax service includes band pages complete with links to YouTube videos, Ticketmaster ticket searches, Amazon purchase links, and a Wikipedia link.[3] Users can interact socially by creating playlists and sending music recommendations to friends.[6]
The files utilize Microsoft's Windows Media Digital Rights Management. This platform ensures the ad-supported application continues to offer free access to music files.[7]
As of March 20, 2009, the following is a list of the currently signed contracts:
- EMI Music Publishing[8]
- finetunes[9]
- Sony/ATV Music Publishing[10]
- TVT Records[11]
- Warner Music Group[12]
- EMI Music North America[13]
- Sony BMG Music Entertainment[14]
On 6 May 2008, UMG (Universal Music Group), the largest of the record labels, signed a deal with Qtrax.[15] Qtrax stated that the entire catalogue of songs from artists under the Universal label will be available.[16]
The company announced the launch of its service in January 2008, at the music industry's global conference MIDEM in Cannes. Qtrax claimed to have obtained licenses to distribute the music of the big four music record labels: EMI, SonyBMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group.[17][18][19] In the days leading up to the announcement, the stock price of Qtrax's parent company, Brilliant Digital, reached a 52 week high.[20] However, within days, it became clear to the media that several of the material claims made by the company were untrue.
- When asked to explain, Qtrax stated that they felt they had "been unfairly crucified because a competitor tried to damage" them, and that they did "have industry agreements including with the major labels." although the "ink hadn't dried" on some of the deals. Qtrax also announced that it still planned to deliver on its promises "within months".[21]
In January 2008, the internet policing company, Web Sheriff notified Qtrax that regardless of whether the music companies supported the service, individual artists would have to give their approval.[22] It was also reported that many of the images on the Qtrax web site were unlicensed.[23]
On March 18, 2008, Italian digital music website MusicBlob[24] found that apparently several CD compilations of the Ultra Rare Trax series, a pirate CD series circulated on CD during the 1990s and dedicated to artists such as KLF, Kraftwerk, Duran Duran and others, are listed in the Qtrax catalogue as if they were legitimate release.
International availability[edit]
Currently, the product is available in 68 countries.[25]
Previously the company had missed its North American and Asian Pacific launch dates[26][27]

Town shows no love for reindeer display
Date: February 24, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort staff members decorated the reindeer display on the property with hearts in honor of Valentine's Day. But not everyone loves the reindeer.
Longboat Key Code Enforcement Officer Heidi Micale gave the Colony a verbal warning last week after noticing the "en-deering" display. Micale said the reindeer and other Christmas decorations fall under an exempt signs category in town codes and can only remain in place for 45 days per occasion — meaning that even if the display were set up on Christmas Day, the reindeer should have headed back to the North Pole by Feb. 7.
But Colony President/General Manager Katie Moulton said she hopes to work with the town so that the reindeer can stay in place. She said that her father, Colony owner and chairman Dr. Murf Klauber had planned to decorate the reindeer for holidays throughout the year.
"They add a little humor," Moulton said. "Plus, there's very limited lighting in that area and with those it's easier for people to see the property."

Everybody who has diabetes is going to change in the year 2013. The change coming to each of us will be significant or minor, planned or haphazard, for the better or for the worse.
But it's coming, ready or not.
Change is an integral part of life. Scientists tell us that except for the neurons in our cerebral cortex the very cells that compose our bodies change every few years. Nothing is permanent and whatever lives changes more quickly and profoundly than inanimate objects.
We change our minds and habits a lot more often than our cells change. We can direct the change in what we do by putting our minds to it.
This is reason for the tradition of making New Year's Resolutions. The trick is to keep the resolutions that we make so for us it's not an empty, meaningless, and ultimately disappointing tradition.
We can start on the path to a healthier new year but setting aside a few minutes on New Year's Day for reflecting on where we want to go and how we intend to get there. Each year a group that I belong to starts the near with the "Beginning Anew" ceremony, a ritual that Thich Nhat Hanh created to help us let go of the past and to set a clear, strong intention for the coming year.

Awkward Review: "No Doubt"by Nick McHatton at . Comments
As if last week didn't muddy the waters further, "No Doubt" was another drive by of an episode for Awkward... and it was all because of that stupid letter!
While I'm glad Tamara didn't actually write it and the list of suspects has been dwindling more and more, it has become a little annoying working through what seems to be everyone in the entire school in an effort to figure out who was behind it.
Who are we down to now? My count is Ming, Jake, Matty, and maybe Lissa.
Though I seriously doubt Ming would write something like that, my mind isn't made up on Matty or Jake. But it felt like Matty was exonerated tonight. With that said, I know what you're thinking: how could Jake possibly write something that mean? But that's the great thing about him potentially writing the letter: he's the last person anyone would ever suspect. Especially after he refused to read that cruel letter Sadie and Lissa wrote to Jenna – he was feeling guilty.
Wait, was that another clue drop for us? Ugh, damn that letter! It's like the smoke monster of stationary.
Moving on from the letter and onto the green pastures of Reseda, the date between Matty and Jenna was adorable, even if Jenna was full of paralyzing self-doubt and second-guessing about Matty's true motives.
In the end, the date between the two of them ended up like a meeting of families. We learned that Matty actually took Jenna to a restaurant his uncle owned, something he was never comfortable doing before – bringing a girl home. The same can be said for Jenna, sort of.
Watching Matty interact and have fun with Ming and Tamara was just pure fun and we got to learn a few new things about everyone. Not to mention Ming was finally given something to do! Other than her "do all boners look like weapons?" line weeks ago there hasn't been very much for her.
Thankfully, all of that changed with "sex touch." Whatever that is.
Overall, "No Doubt" lived up to its name. I never have any doubts anymore about whether or not I'll enjoy Awkward and I'm more than a little bummed that next week is the season finale.
Other thoughts:
- It was about time Jake kicked Lissa to the curb. Her shenanigans with Sadie were getting downright ruthless.
- I thought for sure Jake and Jenna were going to smooch when he was on the porch.
- I really wish MTV could air the show without bleeps - but there's always the DVD right?
- ... I may have just figured out what a sex touch is.

what if it was jenna's stalker? lol that would be funny
Aunt allie wrote the letter! She hated jennas friends
Some of you think her mom wrote the letter? That would be hilarious not to mention a little dark and depressing. I mean, we know her Mom likes to throw out barbs and daily insults, but I don't think she'd be that mean! As I often think about TV even when I'm not watching it, I'm beginning to wonder if the person who wrote the letter is someone we haven't met yet. But with two episodes left that might be a pipe dream. What do you guys think? P.S. ursuchaskitch, The creator of Awkward said on Twitter that MTV is airing the last two episodes back to back. I don't know if that's changed, but that's why I said next week is the season finale. Either way, it's almost over and I'm going to miss the show terribly.
Maybe val wrote the letter
Maybe Val wrote the letter!
This might sound a bit crazy but I actually think her mother wrote the letter.
When I saw your post that next week is the season finale, I freaked! I love love love this show! It's such a clean break to the monotony of so called reality tv! But then I started thinking.... no doubt was only episode #10 and I'm pretty sure they commissioned 12 episodes for season 1. So I checked online and found out that next week (Sept. 27th) is not the finale. Oct. 4th is. So, to my great relief, there are still 2 episodes left! Yay!!!!! BTW, I wish NYC would make season 2 with more episodes.
do you think it might have been her mom?? I don't know, the thought just popped there.. I don;t think any of these people you listed make sense!
I don't think it is any of her peers. The only three people who really noticed that she existed prior to the letter being written were Tamara, Ming, and Matty. Tamara and Ming would not tell her to drop her friends, because they are her friends. Matty already thought that she was pretty and interesting, so he wouldn't have said some of those things to her. The other people didn't really know who she was, or strongly disliked her, so they wouldn't send a letter that was meant to help her. I've read that some people think it is the guidance councelor, but she A) is awful (in the best possible way) and b) didn't know Jenna before her suicide. My guess is that it was her dad. Yeah her mother fits the M.O. better, but she has always been open about her "loving" critiques and wouldn't have sent that in such a sneaky manner. She also would have admitted that she wrote the letter the second her daughter "attempted" suicide. Jenna is a lot like her father and, with her writing an anonymous blog, it wouldn't be out of character for him to write an anonymous letter. He obviously loves his daughter but can also see that she is clearly unhappy. He was really popular in high school, so he was probably just trying to point out things about herself that she could change. Because her mom is so hyper critical of he probably feels like he has to be the kind parent, so he had to say those things through a medium that wouldn't alienate her.
I actually think it was Jake who wrote the letter. Here is why I think so: Why exactly was he with Lissa in the first place? She is a total bitch, and he is such a nice guy. I think he was just as rotten as Lissa is, but after he sent Jenna the letter and her "suicide attempt" he felt so guilty he changed. That is why he befriended her so quickly after her accident. Then he realized how much he liked her. Of course this is just a theory of mine.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Though he may have been runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Andrew Luck will be second-to-none if he declares for the NFL draft.
Any doubt about that fact was erased Monday when Luck directed the Stanford offense with ease in a 40-12 rout of Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl.
Luck threw for 287 yards and four touchdowns, including three to tight end Coby Fleener, and the fifth-ranked Cardinal (12-1) scored 27 unanswered points in the second half for their eighth straight win and first bowl victory since 1996.
"He played with great poise and led us at all times," Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh said about his quarterback.
Meanwhile, the ACC champion and 12th-ranked Hokies (11-3) had an 11-game winning streak snapped and found little to cheer about in their fourth trip to the Orange Bowl.
Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor passed for 222 yards and a touchdown, but the Hokies scored all of their points in the first half. Two of them came on a safety when Luck threw a pass that was batted down into the end zone and caught by lineman Derek Hall.
Pressured and close to being dragged down, Luck probably shouldn't have thrown the pass. But besides an interception late in the first half, it may have been the only mistake he made.
"All the credit goes to these players. They play for each other and they play to win," said Harbaugh, who deflected questions about his own future with the school.
Stanford's first points came when Jeremy Stewart broke free and ran untouched for a 60-yard touchdown to make it 7-0 in the first quarter. Stewart finished with 99 yards on five carries, while Stepfan Taylor had 114 yards on 13 rushes.
Virginia Tech followed its safety with Tyrod Taylor's 11-yard scramble-and- throw touchdown to a diving David Wilson in the end zone, taking a 9-7 lead. Luck then hit Zach Ertz for a 25-yard touchdown pass and the Hokies got a late 37-yard field goal from Chris Hazley to pull within 13-12 at halftime -- but it marked their final points.
"Give them all the credit," Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said. "They deserved the win."
A potential labor dispute in the NFL could persuade Luck -- or Harbaugh, for that matter -- to stay in school for another year.
But it's hard to imagine Luck's stock rising any higher than it did when he collected the game's MVP award inside Sun Life Stadium on Monday night after leading Stanford to its first BCS victory.
"I'm definitely going to enjoy this," Luck said of the win. "I don't want to make an impulsive decision."
Cardinal fans chanted for him to stay one more season. Four years removed from a 1-11 season, it was easy to understand their clinginess.
Consider the series of plays Stanford used to extend its one-point halftime lead to 28:
Luck threw three passes totaling 45 yards to move the Cardinal to the one-yard line, where they were stuffed twice until fullback/linebacker Owen Marecic jammed it in for a 19-12 lead (Nate Whitaker missed the extra point).
On the ensuing series, Delano Howell intercepted Tyrod Taylor's 30-yard pass near the Cardinal goal line and Stanford needed just two plays to go 97 yards for another score.
Stepfan Taylor blew through the line for a 56-yard run on the first play, and Luck hit Fleener with a perfect play-action pass on the second for a 41-yard touchdown to make it 26-12.
The remaining 14 points? They came on two long touchdown passes to Fleener, who finished with 173 yards on six catches.
Fleener broke a tackle on the right sideline for a 58-yard grab and sprinted wide-open in the secondary for a 38-yard score with six minutes left in the game.
Luck finished an efficient 18-of-23, his one interception an afterthought amid the post-game hurlyburly about whether he would play on Saturdays or Sundays next year.
"I think there are worse decisions you have to make in life," Luck said, laughing.
He's right, of course.
