Now Kennedy is Really Dead |
By Austin Ruse |
A family member of mine in her 70's who's never voted Republican voted for Brown.
As an evangelical I would like to congratulate American Catholics, especially those who voted for Brown last Tuesday or otherwise prayed or helped, for shaking off the ghost of Kennedy past.
Chinese have a saying: (fu bu guo san dai)
Literally: Wealth does not pass three generations
Meaning: It's rare the wealth of a family can last for three generation (the 2nd may see the value of hard work, the 3rd, forget it)
Explanation: In business, the first generation works extremely hard, so that the second generation reaps the benefits. By the time the third generation arrives, the wealth is squandered.
Similar here. Joseph Kennedy, JFK's father was a tough old bird and made a fortune. JFK had many worthy qualities (including being anti-communist, incredibly charismatic, and a tax cutter). The next generations had nothing (and Teddy was a monster in my opinion, both personally and politicially).
I wonder what Mary Jo had to say to Teddy. Oh, I forgot there not in the same place.
Thanks, I prayed.
"the election of Scott Brown to the Kennedy seat was God's judgment on Kennedyism."
works for me .
Yes, he made a fortune bootlegging whiskey. The same as Al Capone et al.
The Kennedys are not dead until all the baggage has washed up on the beach, the last air bubble has surfaced in the tide pond and the Chivas is gone.
It is absolutely clear in the scriptures that within the church you are to judge. In the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 5 ....
1It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his fathers wife. 2 You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.
...I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindlernot even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
For whatever reason the Catholic church cannot grasp this text in their biblical reading. To allow the likes of Kennedy and Pelosi to go on claiming to be "Christians" while they promoted the killing of innocent children is a travesty.
Maometto all'Inferno Affresco nella cappella dei Re Magi
Cattedrale di San Petronio a Bologna (Italy)
Già veggia, per mezzul perdere o lulla,
com'io vidi un, così non si pertugia,
rotto dal mento infin dove si trulla.
Tra le gambe pendevan le minugia;
la corata pareva e 'l tristo sacco
che merda fa di quel che si trangugia.
Mentre che tutto in lui veder m'attacco,
guardommi, e con le man s'aperse il petto,
dicendo: «Or vedi com'io mi dilacco!
vedi come storpiato è Maometto!
Dinanzi a me sen va piangendo Alì,
fesso nel volto dal mento al ciuffetto.
E tutti li altri che tu vedi qui,
seminator di scandalo e di scisma
fuor vivi, e però son fessi così.
(Inferno, Canto XXVIII, vv. 22-36)
Yes, he made a fortune bootlegging whiskey. The same as Al Capone et al.
I said tough, not moral!
As for the ghost of Kennedy and the associated vampires: they are still haunting us in the form of the ghastly Pelosi and her twisted sisters. More crucixes, more holy water! And a call to our bishops: exorcisms, please!
The Kennedys are not dead until all the baggage has washed up on the beach, the last air bubble has surfaced in the tide pond and the Chivas is gone.
Which one is Maometto? The one who's being eaten up, or the one who's being extruded out?
Very good points. But remember Matthew 7:1-5 as well.
Brown is wearing the Ruby Slippers now.
Provincetown used to be Sodom City, Sanfransicko East. I assume it hasn't changed much.
Interesting. Growing up I heard the American saying: "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations." Must be something to it. The derelict status of Hickory Hill certainly speaks to the desuetude of the latterday kennedys.
Odd thought: in Catholic religious art, saints are usually identified by some symbol (a lamb for Agnes, a dog with a torch for Dominic, the keys for Peter, etc.) Is there a symbol here which shows that it's Mo himself in hell? Just curious.
You are correct. The mantra of the left is and always has been "JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGED." In other words, "shut up," you have no right to tell me what I can or cannot do.
The responsibility of those in the church is to "judge" other members of the body with the heart of God. If someone does "fall" our responsibility is to attempt to restore that individual not to destroy them. The individual could have been misled into their life of sin. However, if in that restoration attempt they tell you to go to hell, you have no other recourse but to throw them out of the church body.
My grandfather died in 1973 and was the only Republican within his own family and within his own circle of friends. He really disliked Old Joe Kennedy and his entire clan.
Every-time a Kennedy died my Grandpa famously said, "Thank God, the sonof@b!+ch is dead."
His family and friends eventually woke up and became Reagan democrats.
I have to admit, when Old Ted came down with his cancer I didn't feel a thing, no sadness. Nothing. I just thought of Mary Jo and all those babies he condemned to death with his vote.
So, when Ted Kennedy died, I raised my glass to Grandpa and said,"Thank God, the sonof@b!+ch is dead."
The Catholic Church does, some members don't:
Commentary from Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, 1859 edition for 1 Cor 5: 1-13:
Ver. 1. As the like is not among the heathens. This seems to have been the crime of incest, that he took the wife of his father yet living. See 2 Corinthians vii. 12. (Witham) --- St. Chrysostom, Theod.[Theodoret?], &c., think, that this incestuous person was one of the chiefs of the schism which then reigned in Corinth. This man, say they, was a great orator, with whose eloquence the Corinthians were enchanted, and therefore dissembled a knowledge of his crime, public as it was. The apostle having proved to them the vanity of all human learning, in the preceding chapter, now attacks the incestuous man, and exposes to their view the enormity of his crime. (Calmet)
Ver. 2. You are puffed up, seem to be unconcerned, to take pride in it, instead of having the man separated from you. (Witham)
Ver. 3. &c. Have already judged, decreed, and do decree, being present in spirit with you, and with your congregation. --- In the name....with the power of our Lord Jesus, to deliver such a one to Satan by a sentence of excommunication, depriving him of the sacraments, the prayers, and communion, and even of the conversation of the rest of the faithful. It is likely in those times, such excommunicated persons were delivered over to Satan, so as to be corporally tormented by the devil. But most divines are of opinion that this man was delivered over to the devil, to strike a terror into others. See St. Chrysostom, hom. xv. and this is said to be done for the destruction, or punishment of the flesh, that the spirit, or soul, may be saved. (Witham) --- It is the opinion of most of the Greek fathers, that this man was either really possessed by the devil, or at least struck with such a complaint as a mortification, and humiliation to his body, whilst it served to purify his soul. We have seen from many instances in holy Scripture, that it was not unusual, in the origin of Christianity, for persons who had fallen into crimes of this nature, to be punished with death, some grievous sickness, or by being possessed by the devil. But most divines are of opinion that this man was delivered over to the devil, so as to be separated from the communion of the Church. (St. Ambrose; Estius; Just.[St. Justin Martyr?]; Menochius)
Ver. 6-8. Your glorying is not good, when you suffer such a scandal among you: you have little reason to boast of your masters, or even of the gifts and graces you received. A little leaven corrupteth the whole mass; a public scandal, when not punished, is of dangerous consequence. --- Purge out the old leaven. He alludes to the precept given to the Jews of having no leaven in their houses during the seven days of the Paschal feast. For our Pasch, i.e. Paschal lamb, Christ is sacrificed: and Christians, says St. Chrysostom, must keep this feast continually, by always abstaining from the leaven of sin. (Witham)
Ver. 9. &c. I wrote to you in an epistle. If he does not mean what he has said already in this epistle, it must have been in some other, which he had written to them before, (as some conjecture) and which is not now extant. --- Now to keep company with fornicators, nor with such like public scandalous sinners, not so much as to eat with them. But you must take notice, that I mean, when they are brethren, or Christians, not when they are infidels, for this cannot be avoided, especially by those who are to labour to convert them. This admonition of the apostle, shews us how much such persons are to blame, who by their carriage encourage, applaud, and are delighted with wicked company. Them who are without the pale and fold of the Church, the apostle leaves to the great judge of the living and the dead. (Witham)
Ver. 12. To judge them that are without. Those who are said by the apostle to be without, are those who have never been converted to the faith, and therefore are not within the jurisdiction of the Church.
Ver. 13. Take away. This passage is differently understood by commentators. By some it is understood thus: expel the evil one from among you, that is, the incestuous man. (Estius) --- By others, it is understood to be spoken in a general sense, meaning, take away the evil of sin from among you. (Calmet)
I know there are "some" in the church that take these scriptures seriously but as a whole the Catholic church, or Protestant church for that matter, does not. My guess is that it "costs" the church in finances for them to enforce the "morality" of the scriptures.
Here is an article on what Archbishop Burke thought about the matter:
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 21, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an address to InsideCatholic.com's 14th Annual Partnership Dinner Friday evening, Archbishop Raymond Burke, Prefect of the Vatican's Apostolic Signatura, said that funeral rites should not be given to pro-abortion Catholic politicians. He also defended the duty of Catholics to speak in charity against the scandal caused by such figures.
The archbishop said that, while "we must speak the truth in charity," Catholics also "should have the courage to look truth in the eye and call things by their common names."
"It is not possible to be a practicing Catholic and to conduct oneself in this manner," he told the crowd of about 200 guests.
Burke hammered home his message of the need for fidelity to Church teaching on the part of Catholics in politics in his 50-minute speech. The archbishop, known for his unwavering and vocal defense of the Church's teachings on life and family issues, was given a standing ovation at the conclusion of his address.
In what appeared to be a reference to the Kennedy funeral scandal, Burke said that "neither Holy Communion nor funeral rites should be administered to" politicians who support abortion or same-sex "marriage." "To deny these is not a judgment of the soul, but a recognition of the scandal and its effects," he said.
Burke said that when a politician is associated "with greatly sinful acts about fundamental questions like abortion and marriage, his repentance must also be public."
"Anyone who grasps the gravity of what he has done will understand the need to make it public," said Burke.
Sen. Ted Kennedy, a staunch abortion and same-sex "marriage" supporter, was laid to rest in a highly publicized and laudatory Catholic funeral ceremony in Boston on August 29. Catholic pro-life leaders had pleaded with Cardinal Sean O'Malley not to allow the public ceremony, but the cardinal ultimately presided over the rites. In turn, other leaders in the Catholic community, most notably Fr. Thomas Rosica, the CEO of Canada's Salt & Light television network, lambasted the pro-life response to the funeral as uncharitable.
About the pro-life leaders and activists who expressed concern about Kennedy's funeral, Rosica wrote on his blog, "many so-called lovers of life and activists in the pro-life movement, as well as well-known colleagues in Catholic television broadcasting and media in North America, have revealed themselves to be not agents of life, but of division, destruction, hatred, vitriol, judgment and violence."
Burke, however, defended those who spoke out against such scandal, pointing out that unity within the Church is ultimately based upon the truth.
"The Church's unity is founded on speaking the truth in love," he said. "This does not destroy unity but helps to repair a breach in the life of the Church."
The mantra of the left is and always has been "JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGED." In other words, "shut up," you have no right to tell me what I can or cannot do.
It is in the Bible. It's not the province of the left or the right. It is absolute truth from the mouth of Christ and should be considered as well as the verses you are quoting; they should be put into context through it and Matthew 7 should be considered in light of the verses you are quoting.
American saying: "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations."
That's an awesome saying. Purely descriptive, observed, and directed at a real individual or family. I can see a farmer or rancher saying it and moving on with their business.
Please don't misunderstand. The only point I was making is that of the left "proof texting" the scriptures. By this they can take any one scripture and form their own doctrine. The people who do not want to be held to any "moral standard" throw that scripture out all the time.
No I get you. I think it's somehow 2 things. One is membership in a church, whether you support the person as a leader, those sorts of things, the other is judgment in terms of feeling superior to them or thinking they are damned or worthless and those sorts of judgments, which is up to God. That's my take on it now. Sort of what's in the heart.
After a lifetime of having that rapacious, immoral, grandiose warren full of verminous buck-toothed whelps thrust into my face every day, they're gone. All that cooing and fawning over low-down, thieving drankard, murdering peasants. Every day in the news, since my childhood, the cretinous knaves in the media have insisted that they are some aristocrat/saints.
As of Tuesday, they are gone. They are down and out. Camelot is cast down with Sodom and Gomorrah.
For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of the people of Massachusetts ;-)

Windvanes on Ketches or Yawls
We have a Cheoy Lee Offshore 41 Ketch and are seriously considering a Cape Horn windvane. The mizzen boom extends well aft of the transom. I have a question for ketch or yawl owners: does a vane have to be mounted aft of the mizzen boom? Even if mounted so, does the air draft off the mizzen sail adversely affect the performance of the windvane?
Windvanes on Ketches or Yawls
Call or email (several) vane manufacturers. You need the distance from the deck to the underside of the boom or first sheeting rigging that might interfere. They can also customize a bracket mounting system, based on your boat''s manufacture and their experience with the craft, to avoid any ill effects from sail drafting. Generally, they have detailed familiarity with most boat models.....I''m sure your Cheoy Lee ketch model has had a vane mounted in the past
Windvanes on Ketches or Yawls
I have a Cape Horn, and I could not see it working with your ketch.You can Contact Cape Horn they are very helpful ,they might be able to make something work for you as every vane is custom for each particular boat.

Windvanes on Ketches or Yawls
I now own a Hinckley B-40 that was originally rigged as a yawl but was converted by Hinckley to a sloop at the request of the owner. He was the US dealer for the Atoms wind vane and apparently the mizzen boom interfered with the proper operation of the vane so he had Hinckley remove the mizzen and replace the main boom with a longer one so he could use the Atoms and demonstrate it. Hope this drastic measure is not needed by your setup although I do like the sloop rig. I have added an inner stay and a small self-tending forestaysail on a Harken roller which makes sail handling possible for a seasoned citizen with a ''bad'' back.

Windvanes on Ketches or Yawls
Thanks for the input. I have contacted windvane manufacturers including Cape Horn and they say no problem. The Cape Horn owner even sent photos of his unit mounted on ketches. It appears that the vane can extend over the mizzen boom, and you need to lower the vane when tacking. I am still concerned about the draft off the mizzen sail affecting the performance of the windvane. One ketch owner on the SSCA list indicated that there was such a performance problem on their rig.
Snap - It was a Hinckley B40 yawl that got me into split rigs. It balanced perfectly in various conditions. Wonderful boat! I do not want to sacrifice my mizzen and will continue to seek input from folks with split rigs and windvanes. Thank you, Mike Smith S/V Raven |

Help us gain the funds we need to film an exciting new web series based on our exploits entering the Redbull Soapbox Race Read more
Help us gain the funds we need to film an exciting new web series based on our exploits entering the Redbull Soapbox Race
About this project
We are the Sci-Fi Janitors!!
Bob and Carl first started as a short form puppet piece for a show at Dad's Garage Theater here in Atlanta. That same year it was decided that Bob and Carl should film a few short episodes with their unique brand of humor/commentary on geek life for the attendees of Dragon*Con, the largest fandom convention in the world. The Sci-Fi Janitors were an instant success and the boys in yellow decided to keep making episodes in the form of a weekly web series. When the next Dragon*Con rolled along not only did Bob and Carl return in all their video series glory they performed AND hosted the first ever Late Night Puppet Slam at Dragon*Con having to turn away hundreds at the door due to being over capacity! Because of this Dragon*Con in 2012 will have their own programming track dedicated to puppetry in celebration of that art form!
The Janitors entered, and were accepted into the Redbull Soapbox Race taking place in Atlanta on June 9th. The three judging categories are track time, design, and overall presentation. The great folks at Penny Dreadful Productions are helping us to design and build our car. It will involve a lot of labor and carving a custom foam shell. We will be incorporating a very "Sci-Fi" theme along with our own "Janitors" style of humor and showmanship!
Why do we need money?
The plan is to film all the exploits and shennanigans of building and racing a soapbox racer. All from the point of view of our two favorite puppet heroes, Bob and Carl. This is a completely different style of shoot for us. Normally we film in a small green screen studio, but now we are going to be filming on location with a combination of puppets and real people as the cast. This makes production a lot more complex and expensive. If we raise the money we need we will release an entire new set of videos to the web based on the story of building and racing the car. If we get enough footage we want to make a short film and try to release that film at Dragon*Con but in the very least there will be a brand new web series released through our website and other online channels. Help us get our new web series starring Bob and Carl off the ground with this great opportunity!
And Secondly, and This is Important
Any funding we recieve over the amount we need for the Redbull filming will go directly to the production of our first ever DVD! I know our fans have been asking us for a DVD of our collected works and behind the scenes footage and outtakes forever! Nows the chance to help make that happen! If we get enough to make the DVDs on top of filming we will make it available to all the donors at a special price!
A VERY special thanks to Penny Dreadful Productions for helping build and construct our car. Check them out here! http://www.getdreadful.com/
Follow our weekly web series at the Sci-Fi Janitors website and Facebook! http://scifijanitors.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bob-and-Carl-Sci-Fi-Janitors/150449924977953

A recent survey by DirtSearch.org found that women with certain names were more likely to be gold diggers.
First off: I'm highly doubtful of a survey done by a company named DirtSearch.
Second: DirtSearch skimmed through their data to find the most-searched female names on their site that had petty crime records.
Lastly: DirtSearch took the names of the women who had some trouble with the law and concluded they must surely be gold diggers. Then they used that info to inform wealthy men to watch out for girls with these names:
This video right here is why you have to love The Band Perry! Kimberly and her bro's rock! Maybe they should have changed the name of the song to "Kimber."

She would like to see a parent dress code that is enforceable on school grounds.

What wonderfully stupid, chuckle out loud fun short. I now have the song stuck in my head.
could be better
Not bad but its a little to repetitive, animation is great just work on your lyrics. Gud effort
Firstly, they're not my lyrics.
And yeah, they are kind of repetitive, but I think it works for the kind of cartoon it is. It's humor's rule of threes. The first two verses he's just talking to the beard, then in the third, he shaves him off.

Hotels near Archipelago
Probably one of the most unusual dining experiences in London, a meal at Archipelago is an appealing assault on the senses. From the imaginatively-named dishes ("Saigon Seduction", "Serengeti Dusk") filled with exotic ingredients (kangaroo and crocodile, emu and wildebeest) to the lavishly decorated, candlelit interior (palm trees, peacock feathers, statues and screens) and pungent, aromatic fragrances, this is a full-on 360 degree eating event. The anticipation begins from the moment you book your table and are given a "secret" password to use when you arrive. When you do arrive, a short walk across a floor filled with pebbles massages weary feet, gently signalling the start of the evening's unexpected delights. The food here is quirky; frogs' legs, chocolate covered scorpions and drone bees make an appearance on the menu alongside the unusual meats already mentioned. However, for every truly eccentric dish there are ten others that - despite the exotic sounding names – are really just a bit "colourful" in terms of description and ingredients. While not for the exceptionally faint hearted, you don't have to have a stomach of steel to eat here - far from it. Each of these dishes tastes sublime and, should you have any questions or concerns, the highly informed waiting staff are on hand to dispense information and advice. The air theatricality continues right up to the end of the meal when diners are given the choice of selecting from the dessert menu, the mysterious "A Visit from the Doctor". Go on… you know you want to. Romantic yet edgy, Archipelago is perfect for making a meal out a meal to remember.

Alamo Drafthouse Goes To Michigan!
AUSTIN, Texas,
Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is pleased to unveil its plans for its first location in
Kalamazoo, Michigan. The ten-screen theater will be owned by EPR Properties and operated by Alamo Drafthouse and located at 180 Portage Street, former home of the Rave Cityplace 14.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100816/FFLOGO)
Kalamazoo reminds me a lot of our hometown of
Austin with its strong economy, large university, great beer scene and solid arts community. We are very excited about this opportunity and to become a part of the neighborhood," says Alamo CEO
Tim League.
Alamo Drafthouse combines dinner, drinks, films and events, all under one roof. The theaters have been heralded for their unique programming events and high exhibition standards, earning accolades like "Best Theater Ever" (
Time Magazine) and "the coolest theater in the world" (
Alamo Drafthouse provides a unique combination of theater and restaurant, showing first-run movies, independent films and special programming events with an extensive menu made from scratch in a state-of-the-art culinary kitchen. Customers order food and drinks from servers who quietly attend to them throughout the movie.
Customers are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the pre-show entertainment. Instead of a barrage of advertising, the Alamo shows a curated collection of rare and humorous clips. "We're proud of the fact that we don't show any advertising," Tim League said. "People don't want to pay for a movie and then be bombarded with 20 minutes or more of shampoo commercials and military recruiting ads. If you don't like the movie, we strive to produce a pre-show good enough to still make for a great experience." Additionally, Alamo Drafthouse protects the theater experience with a zero tolerance policy for people who disrupt the film with talking or texting. Alamo Drafthouse was featured on global news for a viral "Don't Talk" PSA that used a humorously misguided voicemail from an actual patron who was ejected for texting during the film. The full story on the long tradition of Alamo's no talking/texting policy can be found here. Alamo Drafthouse Kalamazoo will feature ten screens of new releases, repertory programming and the Alamo's unique signature programming with seating for 900 moviegoers. Each of the auditoriums will be equipped with state of the art digital projection and sound. Alamo Drafthouse Kalamazoo will also be equipped for 35mm projection. In addition to the superior AV equipment, the layout of each screening room will eliminate the traditional front row, ensuring every seat in the house allows for a great viewing experience. The theater is expected to open in mid-2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

LAVRA, a nonprofit, volunteer organization established in 2006, hosts occasional weekend racing events here that are free to watch and offer the opportunity to kick back with a cold beer and see local answers to Lance Armstrong appear to defy the laws of physics as they zip around the track.

The 1900 census of Howard, Centre County, PA shows an Alice Long, born April 1885 as the daughter of Jacob, born Jan 1828 and Catherine, born July 1845. Living with them is his mother-in-law Elizabeth Maheffy, born Dec 1817. Check with the Centre County Library in Bellefonte to see if they can help you. They have a very nice genealogical collection. They may be able to find a baptismal record for Sarah. I would bet that Sarah's obituary appeared in a Wetzel County newspaper if not a Centre County newspaper. If either Jacob or Catherine had an estate file it is most likely at the Centre County Register of Wills Office. Sarah's son Donald was probably included in the settlement of their estates assuming they outlived Sarah that is. Notify Administrator about this message?

Rapid Reaction: Cowboys 27, 49ers 24 (OT)
September, 18, 2011
Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Cowboys did something that was done to them last week: come back from a 14-point deficit. And this time the Cowboys won, avoiding a 0-2 hole for the second consecutive season with a 27-24 win.
What it means?: The Cowboys head home 1-1 thanks to a gritty comeback that saw some of their top players get hurt, including Miles Austin, Tony Romo and Phil Costa.
Austin with big game: Wide receiver Austin had one of his biggest games of the season. He finished with nine catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns. He kept the Cowboys in the game when they were without starting quarterback Tony Romo and caught a game-tying score from backup Jon Kitna. Austin didn't start off well, dropping two balls, but he responded well.
Bailey ties it: After missing a 21-yard field goal try in the first half, Dan Bailey rewarded Jason Garrett for having faith. Bailey nailed a game-tying 48-yard field goal with four seconds left in regulation to tie the game. After the first miss, there were serious concerns about Bailey's abilities to make clutch kicks. But with the game on the line, Bailey responded.
Romo plays with rib injury: Romo suffered a fractured rib on the third play of the game, then was knocked around some more on the first possession. Romo didn't start the second half due to the injury and Jon Kitna replaced him. Kitna threw a game-tying touchdown but he also threw two interceptions. Romo returned with 37 seconds to play in the third quarter. He finished 20-of-33 for 345 yards and two touchdowns.
Defense plays well: The 49ers scored 10 points in the second half, but they were the result of two turnovers. Other than that, the Cowboys' defense controlled the second half. The Cowboys had six sacks, including two each from DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher. The Cowboys also had an interception from Alan Ball.
Interesting decision by the 49ers: Kicker David Akers converted a 55-yard field goal to give the 49ers a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. A penalty on Keith Brooking for leverage on the kick could have given the 49ers a first down and 15 more yards. But Niners coach Jim Harbaugh elected to take the points and not the yards. Dallas rallied to tie the score, but it would have been harder to get 14 points than 10 given how the offense struggled at times on Sunday.
Injuries adding up: First it was Romo and his fractured rib, then Felix Jones hurt a shoulder. Both played through it, but starting center Phil Costa left the game with a knee injury and didn't return. Kevin Kowalski replaced him with 11:12 to play in the quarter. The Cowboys were already without wide receiver Dez Bryant (quad), Bill Nagy (neck), Orlando Scandrick (ankle) and Terence Newman (groin).
What's next?: The Cowboys have their home opener next week at Cowboys Stadium vs. the 2-0 Washington Redskins.

More goodies out of Cincy today.....
I spent my lunch break chuckling over the sports section.....
Last Updated: 8:30 am | Tuesday, January 2, 2007 Questions facing the Bengals for 2007 BY MARK CURNUTTE | email@example.com For all of the highs and lows for the Bengals in 2006, it could not have come as much of a surprise that it ended with a thud on New Year's Eve. What does 2007 hold for the organization and the team? Bengals reporter Mark Curnutte takes a look at the key questions and key players to keep an eye on. Five questions for the New Year: 1. HOW WILL MARVIN LEWIS RESPOND TO THE HEAT THAT HAS TO BE PUT SQUARELY ON HIM? His struggles with game management are increasingly apparent. There doesn't appear to be a strong No. 2 personality on the coaching staff to challenge Lewis internally. There is no John Lennon to his Paul McCartney. Lewis clearly had the right stuff to revolutionize an archaic organization when he arrived in 2003. But is he the right coach to get the Bengals into the playoffs consistently - and deep into the playoffs? He is 35-30 overall in four seasons. Does that record look better in Cincinnati, where standards, expectations and results were below mediocre each year prior to his hiring? Elsewhere in the NFL, 35-30 over four seasons is enough to get a coach fired. Lewis often talks of the need to get better each day and from season to season. Does he include himself in that platitude? 2. CAN THE DEFENSE GET CLOSE TO THE OFFENSE, FINALLY? After four seasons, the Cincinnati defense is not good enough. True, points allowed have dropped slightly each season since Lewis was hired - 384 in 2003, 372, 350 and 331 in 2006. In all 65 games, the Bengals have given up an average of 22.6 points a game. The defensive acquisitions have been B-list players, solid but not the type an opposing offense has to account for. The Bengals have paid a high price to keep their offensive core intact. Now what about the defense? There is plenty of salary-cap space. Why don't they go out and break the bank for an impact defender the likes of Baltimore's hybrid linebacker/defensive end Adalius Thomas or Chicago linebacker Lance Briggs? Both will be free agents in March. 3. IS CHUCK BRESNAHAN THE ANSWER AS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR? Or should Lewis just make himself the defensive coordinator and give more responsibility to coordinator Bob Bratkowski in terms of offensive game management? Baltimore coach Brian Billick, a noted offensive coordinator, took over offensive play-calling responsibilities for the Ravens to the tune of a 13-3 record and second seed in the AFC playoffs. Should Lewis do the same with the defense in Cincinnati? Can anyone coordinate a defense effectively under the specter of Lewis' dominant personality and legacy of excellence with the Super Bowl-winning Ravens? 4. HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE CHAD? Vague talk of selfish players in the Bengals' locker room always seems to point back to lightning-rod wide receiver Chad Johnson. Lewis has invested time and energy into harnessing Johnson's considerable talent. Has Lewis micro-managed the personality out of Johnson and, thus, reduced him as a player? Does Lewis need to let Chad be Chad? In the past three games, all losses, when the Bengals needed to win just one to make the playoffs, Johnson had only 11 receptions for 122 yards and no touchdowns. He disappeared from the offense. 5. CAN PALMER ELEVATE HIS OVERALL GAME TO TOM BRADY'S LEVEL? Stats be damned, can Carson Palmer win games by himself? Palmer came back magnificently from a career-threatening knee injury Jan. 8 in the playoffs. His numbers in touchdown passes, yards and interceptions were comparable in 2006 to his breakout 2005 season. One number reveals the problems Palmer had in coming back, though. His completion percentage dropped 5.5 points, from 67.8 in 2005 to 62.3. He completed 21 fewer passes in 11 more attempts. For example, Palmer missed a wide-open T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the end zone in Denver and threw the ball into the arms of a Broncos cornerback. Palmer knows he has to play better. He needs, too, to develop more of a Boomer Esiason leadership style and use the media to criticize teammates who might be dogging it or underachieving. Palmer would not be asking any more of his teammates than he already demands of himself.
"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback." |

Selfishness gets the blame
The 2006 Bengals: What went wrong? BY MARK CURNUTTE | email@example.com Bengals players echoed their coach, as they often do, after the season-ending loss Sunday to the Steelers. In Paul Brown Stadium's home locker room, selfishness was cited repeatedly as the reason the Bengals under-achieved in 2006. "Small, every gap is small in football," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "There are not wide gaps in the NFL, very small. But it takes people that are selfless." Said right tackle Willie Anderson: "We all know it is selfishness. We as a team will never get over the hump with the selfishness." Lewis and his players stopped short of defining selfishness, but examples were on display all year. Players who get into trouble off the field are viewed as selfish by their teammates, though no one would mention names. Talented players such as wide receiver Chris Henry and linebacker Odell Thurman - examples 1a and 1b of the bad-boy Bengals - might come to work and work hard. But they're not at home getting rest, studying film or their playbooks when they're out into the wee hours of the morning and getting into trouble. It's not a stretch to say the Bengals' defense missed Thurman's big-play ability at middle linebacker, where his consistency and knowledge of assignments as a second-year player would have had to improve over his rookie season. When a bit player like rookie wide receiver Reggie McNeal got into trouble outside a Houston nightclub, Lewis defended him publicly, saying he was the victim of a bad arrest. Why didn't Lewis make an example of McNeal in some way? Instead, there was an air of "anything goes" in the locker room. LEAVING FOR LUNCH Speaking of the locker room, Tory James, Deltha O'Neal and Johnathan Joseph were among the players who left almost every day during the season for lunch. They did not stay with their teammates. There was a lack of unity. Tailback Rudi Johnson addressed the need for team cohesion, but not in any specific context. "We need to come together as a team and stay together all the time," Johnson said after the game. Other players don't leave, but they take their team-provided lunches and head into the lounge (where there are video games, a television and pool table) or another room (where there is a ping-pong table). Twice during the season, Lewis locked the lounge door, not as a punishment for poor game performance or a loss but because it was not cleaned up. Then there are those players who, at times, seem more concerned about individual statistics than the team's success. Lewis commented within the past two weeks that individual numbers will come when the team wins. He is aware of the problem, nothing unique in the NFL to the Bengals. In the past two years, some Bengals players have grumbled about the attention-getting behavior of wide receiver Chad Johnson, though Johnson toned down his act considerably this past season. For certain, the offseason will bring changes. Lewis, 8-8 in three of his four seasons as Bengals coach, faces pressure to get the Bengals deep into the playoffs. FREE AGENCY IMPACT Several high-profile players are unrestricted free agents, and short of team designations to limit their mobility, players the likes of defensive end Justin Smith and guard Eric Steinbach could end up wearing other uniforms next season. But money should not be the object. The salary cap for 2007 is $109 million. The Bengals are $28.4 million under the cap. They, like other NFL teams, have all kinds of room to do business. Desire to spend and to win - not finances - would be the only reasons the Bengals would not re-sign players the caliber of Smith or Steinbach.
"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback." |

I used to be an Airbnb host in Geneva and Berlin, and had amazing guests staying at my place. I recently moved back to San Francisco (which is, in my view, the best city in the world) and look forward to sharing my beautiful apartment with you. When staying at my place you'll get an authentic living in San Francisco experience and will feel like a roommate rather than a visitor. I like to get to know my guests and am happy to share a glass of wine with you, but I will also absolutely respect your privacy.
I'm open-minded, respectful, curious and clean. I love doing yoga, hiking in the Bay Area, going for long runs on the weekend and exploring San Francisco.
I also still travel a lot using Airbnb. :-)
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Hanna has completed online and offline ID verification.
Hanna was an amazing host! She is a very friendly and respectful, I felt at home straightaway. Her apartment was absolutely beautiful, I stayed for a month and it was always super clean and tidy. The room itself is perfect and the view is amazing. The apartment is located in a lovely neighbourhood, close to shops, cafes and a short walk to transport links. I loved staying here and would definitely stay here again.
Hanna's place was immaculate. Right when I arrived I was greeted by her and the other tenants with open arms, and felt very much at home despite just arriving. She also has two cats who are very friendly. She was very respectful of personal space and overall the experience was very very positive. The room itself is fantastic, very clean, very spacious. The view is incredible.
Hanna made me feel extremely welcome - even inviting me to her housewarming party - and the room looked precisely like in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious, and the apartment is located a great area of San Francisco. Loved staying here.
Hanna was very sweet and accommodating . The balcony view and rooftop access was what lured me in. The apartment looked exactly like in the pictures.
Hannah is a wonderful host! I stayed for about a month so I got to know her fairly well. She was always pleasant and welcoming, and was happy to help when I needed advice about the neighborhood or other small things. The apartment is just the way it looks in the photos: very clean, bright, and nicely decorated. It is close to a lovely canal and about a 7-10 minute walk from the U1 and U6, making it very easy to get around. Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful week in Berlin also because of Hanna. She is a very nice and especially helpful person. Thanks again! The flat is comfortable, clean(!) and well situated. You will reach the city center in a few minutes, you will find bars/restaurants and the river in the neighbourhood and at the same time the flat is situated in a very calm rear courtyard. And her two cats are lovely. In conclusion: everything as advertised and a very uncomplicated stay :)
If you have the chance to visit Berlin, i warmly recommend you this place ! great location, great appartement, and last but not least, friendly host.
Staying at Hanna's place was really nice. The apartment is awesome place situated in the very heart of Kreuzberg, clean, nicely decorated, with a beautiful garden and unbelievably quite. Hanna is an excellent host; she made me feel like at home.
The house was quite ,clean and beautiful.. Hanna is such a lovely girl with good communication.
Hanna was a great host - helpful, friendly and gave clear directions on how to reach local sights. The apartment couldn't have been better, it's very clean, stylishly decorated, surrounded by a private garden and set back from the hustle and bustle of Kreuzberg which is a creative, interesting and central neighbourhood in Berlin. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again if the opportunity comes up.
Hanna is really nice, clean and organise! Super guest I recommend her! Perfect
Hanna is fantastic, very kind and most pleasant guest ever!! Thank you and please come back soon ;)
Hanna stayed in my Berlin apartment for one month in 2014. She was an excellent guest and we got along very well. Hanna is a quiet and tidy flatmate; very responsible. It was a pleasure to have her around and I recommend her as a guest.
Hanna is really coo, she is more than welcome to come and stay again and i would recommend her to anyone.
Another glowing review for Hanna. I think she is the perfect guest. She is great with my cats, and she is welcome in my home anytime (this was her third stay with me).
This is Hanna's second stay with me, and I really enjoy hosting her! She is friendly, nice and enjoyable to have around. Looking forward to hosting her again!
Hanna was a great host, and it was a pleasure to meet her. She is an open-minded, kind and superfriendly nice person, easy to live with and supernice to hang out with. I guess, when you always have great people staying with you and on top they are just perfect hosts, you lack words. Thats the case, she was another perfect host, just like all the other people we met so far. Happy to welcome you any other time. Best Steff
Hanna is a great guest. She's friendly, outgoing, and great to host. She was very clean, and I could barely tell she had stayed in my place. I really enjoyed her company and look forward to hosting her again.
Hanna is a very lovely host ! You will be pleased to host her. She stayed 2 times in my apartment. The last night she had bought a bottle of wine that we shared on the terrace while chatting. I will be happy to host her again :)
Really nice and quiet guests! I would like to say that they were very respectful of our flat and lest it clean! I definitely recommend them as guests!!!

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
Old English ðorp "village, hamlet, farm, estate," reinforced by Old Norse ðorp, both from Proto-Germanic *thurpa- (cf. Old Frisian thorp, Frisian terp, Middle Dutch, Dutch dorp, German dorf "village," Gothic þaurp "estate, land, field"), probably from PIE root *treb- "dwelling." Preserved in place names ending in -thorp, -thrup.
