Southwest Airlines Celebrates Music, Food, & Wine With Customers Nationwide!
DALLAS, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Airlines™ (NYSE: LUV) kicks off the next season of " Live In The Vineyard" by offering Customers nationwide the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a "Live In The Vineyard" all-access package. The package includes two roundtrip airline tickets to the Bay Area; two VIP passes to attend the festival in Napa Valley ( Nov. 1 through Nov. 4, 2013); a three-night hotel stay at a luxury Napa hotel; and transportation to all events. The festival will include performances by some of today's top recording artists, including Gavin DeGraw, Five for Fighting, James Blunt, Lee DeWyze, Atlas Genius, American Authors, Andrew Ripp, and many more! Customers can enter the Southwest Airlines sweepstakes today through Oct. 4, 2013, by visiting www.southwest.com/liveinthevineyard.
Leading up to the November festival, Southwest launches the official "Live In The Vineyard"-decaled Boeing 737 aircraft into its system. The decaled jet is used as an in-air concert venue to host live performances at 35,000 feet in the air, also known as Live at 35®. Southwest and "Live In The Vineyard" recently hosted this season's inaugural Live at 35® with multi-platinum selling artist Gavin DeGraw. DeGraw surprised 143 unsuspecting Customers with a performance they won't soon forget, as he signed autographs, posed for photos, and sang his brand new single, "Best I Ever Had," from his forthcoming album due out in October on RCA.
This season, Southwest and "Live In The Vineyard" will surprise Customers with five Live at 35® concerts—the specific flights remain a mystery.
"We continually look for ways to create memorable experiences for our Customers," said Linda Rutherford, Southwest Airlines Vice President Communication and Outreach. "Our partnership with 'Live In The Vineyard' allows us to connect with our Customers through our shared passion for music, food, and wine." "Live In The Vineyard" is fast becoming a well-known and sought-after "once in a lifetime" event, and this November will be no exception with a series of intimate performances from some of today's top artists; exquisite food tastings by renowned and celebrated chefs, including Michael Chiarello and Joey Altman; and pourings by some of the most revered vintners. Southwest provides "Live In The Vineyard" national contest winners with roundtrip airfare to and from the Bay Area for the event, which runs Nov. 1 through Nov. 4, 2013. In addition to the Southwest sweepstakes, Customers can also enter for a chance to win general admission tickets to the event at www.liveinthevineyard.com "'Live In The Vineyard' is thrilled to expand on our incredible partnership with Southwest Airlines, creating more innovative ways to bring music, food, and wine to their Customers," said "Live In The Vineyard" Cofounders Bobbii Jacobs and Claire Parr.

Gary Stein | November 1, 2013 | Comments
Custom Audiences is a way for brands to upload their own email address list and create just that, a "custom audience" or group of people they can specifically target with ads on Facebook. Columnist Gary Stein explains how it is best used by marketers.
A few days ago, Facebook announced an expansion to their Custom Audiences program. Many of you may have tried Custom Audiences before and are familiar, but the program has been limited in its release. According to Facebook, by November, Custom Audiences will be available to all advertisers, through any ad interface.
So, it's time to get ready. First we'll talk about the potentials for brands. Then, we will talk about the inevitable backlash that will come from consumers, and how to manage your way through it.
What are Custom Audiences?
You (and I) don't use "usernames" to log in to Facebook. We use our email address. Or, at least, one of our email addresses. I don't know for sure, but I imagine people use one of their more permanent email addresses, such as a home email or maybe a Gmail account. This makes sense, since your use of Facebook may last longer than your current job.
Custom Audiences is a way for brands to upload their own email address list and create just that, a "custom audience" or group of people they can specifically target with ads on Facebook. This is extremely valuable, because a lot of brands have spent a lot of time collecting email addresses. That list has suddenly been given new life and a lot of new (potential) value.
Consider the ways that brands have captured your email address in the past. Everything that you have ordered online and gotten a confirmation for. Anytime you have accepted a coupon or an offer and received it in an email. Book a flight? Have an email confirmation? Bought tickets to a concert? Maybe you even have another network or forum that you log into using that same email address. Perhaps you visited a boutique one day, bought a pair of shoes and signed up to be on their mailing list.
Many brands have some absolutely spectacularly valuable lists on hand. Giving a brand your email address has always been the gold standard of "opting in" to a brand: agreeing to receive messages from them and clearly communicating your interest. That is a very valuable audience.
The Ways Brands Will Use Custom Audiences
There are a few simple ways that we can anticipate brands using Custom Audiences:
Selling Stuff
Pretty obvious. Brands will use Custom Audiences to target right-rail ads to the consumers they think are most likely to buy. The more sophisticated among them will do a further segmentation of their custom audience and put up ads that are related to the products they have already purchased, or what they already know. A clothing retailer should know if a person with a particular email address is a man or woman and likes formal or casual wear.
Shifting from Email to Facebook Pages
Many brands have been trying to find more effective ways than email to message consumers on an ongoing basis. OK, no one is deleting their email lists and ceasing their newsletter publications. But there is a desire to get away from the daily message that all too often ends up in the Spam folder. Or, the quasi-spam folders introduced with Gmail that puts "promotion" messages in a separate spot from the regular Inbox.
Using Custom Audiences, brands can advertise their Facebook page to the people on their email list. The great hope is that people who are really interested will move to Facebook. Or, at least, add Facebook to the ways that they can be contacted.
Increasing Engagement through Apps
Brands that have a relationship with consumers primarily through a website have had a core plank in their strategic platform for a few years now: develop an app. By getting consumers to install an app, the logic goes, there is a more consistent connection and a greater chance of being a go-to. This is true primarily for e-commerce or publishing sites, but can be true of others, as well. By getting a chance to show an ad to someone you know has already engaged with you, you have a chance to market that app and achieve that goal of becoming "installed."
But What: The Backlash
Several years ago, I had a small mole removed from my neck. The dermatologist got my email address on the form and I still receive weekly email offers to have my wrinkles removed. Think about that list I laid out. People's email addresses are everywhere, which means they are going to get a lot of ads. Even if you unsubscribed from a list, there is no reason to believe that the company deleted your email address. They just stopped sending you emails, and it is not really clear that the brand would not be allowed to show you ads, targeted on your email, just because you unsubscribed.
It seems that any time there is any change to Facebook, there is an uproar. I have a feeling this is going to cause some consumer backlash as people start to feel more targeted. But you, oh advertiser of valuable products with a dedication to authentic relationships, should not be worried.
You are going to see this as a way to get closer to the person with whom you are already building long-term value. This is a chance to communicate to him or her across two channels--email and social--that are distinct, but related. Email and social are both about sharing and communicating news. They have their differences, but Facebook Custom Audiences is a chance to bridge the two.
Give Custom Audiences a try. The chance to see the same person across two channels is a great opportunity to deepen a relationship, and Facebook offers a much richer environment than email to engage.

Flames engulfed a three-story house in South Anchorage, and dozens of firefighters responded to gain control of the blaze, according to the Anchorage Fire Department.
A call from someone at the Southpark Loop home, south of Rabbit Creek Road, called 911 to report the fire just before 5 p.m., said Andrew Good, a lead dispatcher with the fire department. About 20 fire-fighting apparatuses, including engines and tanker trucks, were at the burning house, with firefighters working to contain and extinguish it, Good said. A team entered the home to make sure no one was trapped inside, but the person believed to be the lone occupant escaped, Good said.
"If it's safe to do so, we always try to do a search on the inside, but once it becomes unsafe conditions, they fight from the exterior," Good said.
Good said he expected the firefighters to be at the scene well into Wednesday night.

The Ooh la la girl made us ask oh, why why with her recent appearance… and it looked like a bad imitation of Sonam's style
Jessica Chastain was so nervous about wearing Elizabeth Taylor`s sapphire-and-diamond necklace at the Cannes Film Festival`s `Cleopatra` screening that she did not even ask its value.
Just when will Bollywood ever get it right? As the world celebrates 100 years of Indian cinema, Indian stars, it seems, went a little overboard in projecting the ethnic, oriental look at the Cannes red carpet that saw Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan and Sherlyn Chopra either going big on bling or heavy on jewellery and embroidery.
Aishwarya Rai has laid all the criticism to rest by her glamorous appearance at the 66th Cannes Film Festival.
A man was arrested after he fired a gun loaded with blanks during a live TV broadcast at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival on Friday.
'Bombay Talkies' has been selected for screening at the 66th Cannes International Film Festival, where India is the guest country and filmmaker Karan Johar is on cloud nine.
`Zero Dark Thirty` star Jessica Chastain is teaming up with the children of Hollywood stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to host a special screening of their classic film `Cleopatra` at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
Nicole Kidman and Oscar-winning `Life of Pi` director Ang Lee are all set to join Steven Spielberg on this year`s Cannes Film Festival jury.
Sonam Kapoor is gearing up to join the 66th edition of Cannes International Film Festival, where India is the guest country.
Adding another feather to her hat, actress Vidya Balan is now going to be a part of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival 2013.
`Bombay Talkies`, the anthology tribute to 100 years of Indian cinema by four top filmmakers, will have its gala screening at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, where India is the guest country this year.
Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth will come together at the upcoming Cannes film fest.
The trailer of Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone starrer Tamil period-drama 'Kochadaiyaan' will be unveiled at the forthcoming Cannes International Film Festival in May.
Steven Spielberg will head the jury at the 2013 Cannes international film festival.

Habits begin and manifest deep in the mind and they can be friends or foes. Good habits can make our lives easier, helping us to do the more mundane things of life without thinking about them, like automatically depositing your paycheck. ...MORE INFORMATION »
Just in time for New Years – learn the 10 steps to building good habits for success in your personal and business life in 2012!
If you have bad habits that are preventing you from attaining your goals – this is the book for you
"We first make our habits, and then our habits make us."
John Dryden
Habits begin and manifest deep in the mind and they can be friends or foes. Good habits can make our lives easier, helping us to do the more mundane things of life without thinking about them, like automatically depositing your paycheck.
But, as all of us know all too well, habits can also be destructive…to our health, to our finances, to our relationships. It's why we struggle with losing weight, paying off our credit cards or quitting smoking…to name a few "bad habits."
Whether they are a positive force in our lives or obstacles to the goals we want to achieve, habits become ingrained through repeated actions.
As creatures of habit, many people struggle with breaking habits. In Habits Die Hard, it is our intention to help you through this very common, very challenging life experience by giving you 10 keys to replacing destructive habits. Each chapter contains a worksheet to help you identify your specific problem areas and how to improve them.
If you have habits you intend to change, you will not be disappointed in this book.
Food for Thought…
I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest asset or heaviest burden.
I will push you up to success or down to disappointment.
I am at your command.
Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me.
For I can do them quickly, correctly and profitably.
I am easily managed; just be firm with me.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with the precision of a
machine and the intelligence of a person.
You can run me for profit, or you can run me for ruin.
Show me how you want it done. Educate me. Train me.
Lead me. Reward me.
And I will then…do it automatically.
I am your servant.
Who am I?
I am a habit

This book is a road map for personal growth. Any one and any team or organization can benefit from every member mastering the "Rules of the Game."
Chérie Carter-Scott reinforces each chapter with real life examples that help to bring her "10 Rules" to life in a memorable fashion.
Life has often been compared to a game. We are never told the rules, unfortunately, nor given any instructions about how to play. We simply begin at "Go" and make our way around the board, hoping we play it right. We don't exactly know the objective of playing, nor what it means to actually win.
That is what Ten Rules for Being Human is all about. These are the guidelines to playing the game we call life, but they are also much more than that. These Rules will provide you with a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human. They are universal truths that everyone inherently knows but has forgotten somewhere along the way. They form the foundation of how we can live a fulfilling, meaningful life.

Is there anything special about this other than flashing the ROM and putting background images and shortcuts? And obviously adding a few apps to suit.
Are there any special apps not in the ROM to make it look like this? Other than the apps he has shortcuts to obviously.

Head to the Kentucky Derby with style
Heading to the Kentucky Derby this year? Don't pack your suitcase until you have the most fitting (and fabulous) attire.
The Kentucky Derby has been a part of southern tradition for 137 years. Individuals from throughout the region have made the mecca to Kentucky Oaks and Churchill Downs for "the greatest two minutes in sports."
But before you pack your bags, take a close look at what you plan to wear. Fashion plays a huge role in the events—probably just as important as the betting in some circles—and it's important to look the part of a derby fan. We've located a few great clothing boutiques in Atlanta to help you prepare. There are a few things your wardrobe must include:
Women's Hats: Going to the derby with a bare head is like walking into a sports bar without any pants. You'll get stared at, and people will likely assume the worst of you. Besides, there aren't too many occasions where women still wear ostentatious hats, so you may as well seize this opportunity. The bigger, the better! Stop by Larisa Glazirani on Peachtree Rd. or Tuggles Hat Gallery online to pick up your head wear.
Men's Sports: Derby tradition calls for lightly-colored sports coats. This is mainly because it's so hot and wearing dark colors is a sort of death sentence. Pair your light jacket with khakis or dress slacks. Make your outfit pop with a bow tie or another piece of flashy neck wear. Find what you need at any H. Stockton location or Sid Mashburn in West Atlanta.
Cool Shades: While your packing, why not coordinate a few pairs of stylish sunglasses to perfectly compliment your attire? Find shades that are as big as your face can handle, not only because they're fashionable but also because they'll protect you better. Aim for UVA/UVB protection eyewear. Moda 404 in Buckhead has excellent options for men; ladies may prefer Lex:Marq Optique, which makes house calls throughout the Atlanta area.

Dictionary » M » Mitosis MitosisDefinition noun, plural mitoses The process where a single cell divides resulting in generally two identical cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as that of the original cell.
Prior to this, the genetic material of the original (parent) cell has replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle so that when the cell enters mitosis it undergoes four major phases which culminates in the formation of two identical (daughter) cells: 1st phase: Prophase: formation of paired chromosomes, disappearance of nuclear membrane, appearance of the achromatic spindle, formation of polar bodies 2nd phase: Metaphase: arrangement of chromosomes in the equatorial plane. Chromosomes separate into exactly similar halves. 3rd phase: Anaphase: the two groups of daughter chromosomes separate and move along the fibres of the central spindle, each toward one of the asters, forming the diaster. 4th phase: Telophase: two daughter nuclei are formed, the cytoplasm divides, forming two complete daughter cells. Originally, the term mitosis refers only to nuclear division unaccompanied by cytokinesis (which is the division of the cytoplasm), as in the case of some cells like certain fungi and in fertilized egg of many insects. As used now, mitosis used interchangeably with cell division.
Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page Results from our forumChromatinIf DNA residing in the cell is loosly packed DNA called chromatin, and if in the Interphase the chromatin replicates to prepare for mitosis, then it must be that when the chromatin replicated there were only 23 modules of DNA in the cell for it to replicate.

text: http://androidforums.com – Recently I found my old Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile gathering dust in a desk drawer. I charged it up, SIM unlocked it (I've switched carriers) and I'd like to use it as my go-to phone until I'm eligible for an upgrade. (Why all this trouble? Because quite frankly, even at two years old and counting, the SGS4G is still better than my iPhone.) It's still loaded with Froyo. But I've hit a snag. My Macbook Pro (early 2012) absolutely will not recognize this device under USB mass storage or Media Player. I heard someone say that rooting affects the ability of the device to be recognized via USB; (General)

All Critics (172) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (109) | Rotten (63) | DVD (1)
Washington and Wahlberg have a good time robbing banks and blowing up buildings and barreling through military security checkpoints and double-crossing people and shooting each other because none of it really means anything.
What it lacks in robots and superheroes it more than makes up for in laughs, gunplay and personality.
Generic, by-the-numbers buddy-action flicks don't come much more generic than this forgettable project.
Like the Eighties never went away.
A buddy-cop movie on steroids, 2 Guns fires off smart-alecky one-liners and bullets at equal rates -- as the stars make a convoluted and overwritten script work.
That a movie this fleet and lean succumbs to action-blockbuster bloat in the home stretch is both disappointing and predictable, although the director deserves credit for keeping the climactic shootouts slick and spatially coherent.
Mark Wahlberg reunites with Contraband director Baltasar Kormakur for an action movie that's even more cynical and sadistic than its predecessor.
The slack screenplay stumbles over loose ends, and director Baltasar Korm�kur fails to find a consistent tone.
Two hours of brainless action packed with some great laughs and featuring two actors clearly enjoying their time together.
Watchable but empty
The worst-directed action film since Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim...yet another serving of action mulch where you simply do not care where the bullets land. (Sigh. Where's Steven Seagal when you need him?)
Washington and Wahlberg are excellent but this collaboration is squandered
The first pairing of Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington (two charismatic actors of different styles) and the entertaining, quote heavy screenplay from Blake Masters makes it work so well.
Korm�kur lets the solid story, some neat surprises and its A-list stars do the work.
2 Guns is that rare popcorn flick that succeeds at being fun and breezy, and features just enough twists to entertain without getting too complicated.
Washington & Wahlberg drop wisecracks and bad guys from one side of the Mexican border to the other in this playful cop-buddy action thriller.
The best scenes involve Washington and Wahlberg arguing and trying to get the better of each other. If you're a fan of either actor, you're likely to enjoy this.
There are actually 111 guns in 2 Guns, but that sum doesn't include concealed weapons, so we'll never really know the truth.
Iceland's Baltasar Korm�kur warms to the task of delivering a fun filled action thriller, with writer Blake Masters freely commandeering the Tarantino signature of quirky banal dialogue in the midst of action
Washington and Wahlberg are great together - bullish and brash with a twinkle in the eye as they improvise and fly by the seat of their pants, even when things have supposedly been carefully planned
Audience Reviews for 2 Guns
My first Movie for 2014, I really thought that there was every chance I'd not like this movie, and was pleasantly surprised to find it exciting, action-packed, humorous and more than a bit convoluted. The acting was, as one would expect, brilliant with Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington having the time of their lives. The story took some following trying to figure out all the convolutions taking place with CIA and the Navy figuring prominently, but it was great fun, and the violence while never-ending was not over the top like some others today. I have to say that I felt Wahlberg stole the show with his comedic side strongly brought out. Go and see it, but do not try to figure out all the ins and outs too seriously. Great entertainment. 4 Stars 1-1-14

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg aren't strangers to fronting acclaimed films in equally acclaimed performances; but they have something else in common. Neither actor has shied away from making a plethora of less critically prestigious, Hollywood action pictures; often heightening the proceedings with charisma alone. "2 Guns" is such a movie, and because of it's stars is also a good one.
Directed by Baltasar Korm�kur, who previously worked with Wahlberg on the solid "Contraband," "2 Guns" establishes itself as an equally energetic take on familiar material from the very first scene. The snappy dialogue, humor, and great chemistry between leads last throughout and isn't tired after this initial sequence. Along the way we get the likes Bill Paxton, James Marsden, and Edward James Olmos who indulge in a little screen chewing of their own.
For an action movie with ambitions planted firmly in the visceral, "2 Guns" is surprisingly teeming with plot. There's the obligatory cross, double cross, hell even a quadruple cross, in a deceptive web that involves two undercover agents, the CIA, Naval intelligence, and even a drug cartel... oh my! Halfway through I didn't know who was playing who yet, or how everything fit together, but too the writer's credit, we never feel overwhelmed, duped, and everything ties together in an entertaining whole. The film does end abruptly after a fun build up, which is one of my only knocks plot wise.
Even with everything I've just said, "2 Guns" comes down to Washington and Wahlberg. They are exciting to watch and have a great, more importantly believable chemistry. The stakes get high, but we never believe they are in anything but complete control. They command their standalone actioners, but for obvious reasons the results are even more successful here.
"2 Guns" is great fun, with a complex plot that is a tribute to it's comic roots. We get a lot of films like this each year, but director Korm�kur's stylish effort is one to see regardless. It is derivative. But it's rock solid and elevated by it's two leads.
Super Reviewer
If it wasn't for some cool action sequences and awesome chemistry between Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, "2 Guns" would just be another average action flick, with a bland script and dumb plot lines. It's not the best action film ever, but the unique way they use storytelling in this film is very fun every time these actors are on the screen you will find yourself smiling, due to their vibrant presence. "2 Guns" has a well enough written script, it is directed very well, and the camerawork is not ham-handed in any way. I would definitely watch this film again, and that is not just me being modest. Sure it may suffer from a few predictable plot elements, but it comes right out of the gutter and surprises you. "2 Guns" is a very fun movie!
MoreSuper Reviewer
An old-style buddy thriller laced with non-stop action, sizzling suspense, outrageous humor and brilliant chemistry from its two leads that make 2 Guns, nothing but a good time from start to finish. A smart, explosive, wickedly funny and action-packed thrill-ride that's just pure fun. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are at their best, they are a terrific buddy teams that mix great lines with bullets and style. Wahlberg and Washington deliver sensational and enjoyable performances, you can tell they had nothing but a good time making this movie together. The cast is just simply a blast. It's the best action movie of the summer. It's red-hot, hard-boiled and adrenaline-charged entertainment. It has plenty of twist and surprises. A sharply crafted and tremendously slick action flick. It's nice to see an action film of this caliber from being a fan of films like 48 Hours and Lethal Weapon, so this movie if great to watch for those reasons and a few more. Baltasar Kormakur blends the humor and intensity rather well and shows to be an exciting filmmaker.

IDOC timeline memo shows Dwight closure movement
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • March 5, 2013 • News
The maximum-security women's prison in Dwight will close by month's end in a complex shift of inmates that involves the conversion of a men's prison to a penitentiary for women and the transfer of hundreds of overflow inmates to other lockups around the state, according to a timeline obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Gymnasiums outfitted as temporary quarters at six prisons started receiving 600 inmates last week, according to the memo prepared by the Illinois Department of Corrections. An IDOC spokeswoman confirmed the itinerary but said it could change for any number of reasons, including weather.
"IDOC is committed to the safe and responsible implementation of the closure process as public safety remains the top priority," spokeswoman Stacey Solano said.
The closing curtain for the Livingston County lockup ends a year of acrimonious debate over the wisdom of shutting prisons, as Gov. Pat Quinn says he must save money in a budget crisis. He won a lawsuit with the prison workers' union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, to close Dwight and the high-security penitentiary in Tamms, which was shuttered Jan. 4.
AFSCME condemned the plan, particularly because it means turning gyms into inmate dormitories at a time when the prison system, designed for 33,000 inmates, holds 49,000. When shown the memo Tuesday, spokesman Anders Lindall confirmed it is the document IDOC gave to union leaders.
"This plan underscores our concern that any closures, given the existing overcrowding, will impact and destabilize the entire system," Lindall said.
Dwight's closure means emptying the Logan Correctional Center, located in Lincoln, of its male inmates. It will become a women's prison and combine the populations of Dwight and Lincoln Correctional Center, which is also located in the city of Lincoln, near the Logan lockup.
According to Corrections' numbers posted Tuesday, Logan's population is 1,954 men. Lincoln Correctional Center has 995 women and Dwight 933.
The timeline indicates that this week, male prisoners have begun moving from Logan to penitentiaries in Canton, Centralia, Danville, Hillsboro, and Vienna. Lower-security inmates moved to Vandalia prison last week.
Corrections officials confirmed last month that temporary bed space would be set up in gymnasiums at the six prisons, but refused to say whether the change was tied to Dwight's closure and the need to make room for displaced inmates at Logan.
With Logan's population reduced, the memo says that "Phase II" — a period scheduled to occur next week — will be "a one-day movement of 1,000 male and 1,000 female offenders between the Lincoln and Logan facilities."
Dwight inmates would start moving next week, too — in groups of 50 to 100 — making the 89-mile trip to Logan a dozen times through March 30.

This trip takes us wide and far in a madly interesting, scenically booming country that "confounds every expectation," as Philip Briggs wrote. "It is the most welcoming, enjoyable, and uplifting country I have ever visited." We explore its immense and unique history, spanning religions as diverse as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, and drink in its stunning and varied landscapes.
Starting in Addis, we delve into churches and museums, enjoying illuminative evening talks with local scholar, translator, and friend Worku Sharew. Next it's north to Bahir Dar and massive Lake Tana (the source of the Blue Nile, which explains Ethiopia's strong links with the ancient world of the Mediterranean) and on to Gondar, gateway for our excursion into the lofty, beautiful, and little-known Simien Mountains. Then we fly to Lalibela, a mountain stronghold and pilgrimage site of 13 monolithic churches carved out of living rock, and dally in Axum, a major center of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
Winging our way far south, we land in the utterly dissimilar world of Ethiopia's Lower Omo Valley, an as-yet-undeveloped region that hosts us in modest lodges and a well-staffed private mobile camp. For four and a half days we visit this entrancingly remote area and its handsome tribal peoples—the Hamar, Ari, Bena, and Mursi, among others—getting to know their ways and their vast, dry, and alluring land.

Not counting tonight's Monday night's game, the New England Patriots lead the entire NFL in Total Offense, @ 441.0 Yards Per Game. Dallas is second at 420.3 YPG. The Patriots are also #1 in the NFL in Total Defense, having given up only 207.0 Yards Per Game. Pittsburgh is second @ 244.3 YPG. It's only stats, but I think we all can see from watching the games, that this team is more than just stats.
Ultimately, I think ppg vs the opponents ppg allowed is even better but you have to wait about 7 or 8 weeks into the season to get a better sample.
Agreed. It is great that we fans can have fun with this now, after what we went through with EricTheRatGate.
I don't think since the Rams in 2001 did a team finish in the top 2 in both offense and defense. The Rams were #1 in offense and #2 in defense. If they won the Super Bowl that year, they probably would have gone into the history books as one of the best teams of all time. I think this team is better based on the first three weeks.
Stats didn't matter when we won Superbowls and they still don't when we have won nothing. It's 3 games in and if 2002 taught us anything, everything can change.
I don't have the energy to go dig up the game logs from last year right now, but it seems that we had a lot of games with 10+ penalties last year. So far, the refs have been letting us play........
The '85 Chicago Bears club was the most awesome football Team that I ever saw. Its a little early after only slightly under 20% or the season but: Record: Bears 15-1 PF: 456 PA: 198 PPGF: 28.5 PPGA : 12.375 Pats projections: PF: 606 PA: 187 PPGF: 38.0 PPGA: 11.67 That says it all...
Yes, but at the moment they are also 5-5 in red zone defense (5 trips for the opponents into the red zone resulting in 5 TDs). There's a lot more work to do.
I think pts/game allowed is a more meaningful stat than yds/game allowed. Pitt is #1 in pts/game allowed. They also have been great on offense. I'm not sure about the quality of their opponents thus far, but they are the one team that scares me the most... even more than the Colts. I still think we can beat them (and should beat them), but I think they are the 2nd best team at this point.
I actually think points scored is a good indicator, but points allowed often isn't. Mostly because nobody cares about yardage or points given up in garbage time of a blowout, which all three games so far have been. Until they come up with an "Overall Ass-Kicking Index" stat, I think the most important stat is "Wins."
