Out of that ugly, cruel piece of wood Ushered a sweet aroma, but by a sword The Creator nailed by and on His creation Offered a perfect sacrifice, for my perfection From lands beyond afar, he descended Boldly He came by divine steps of love and landed In sublime compassion He stared at a lost soul The whole world drenched in darkness since the fall The devil stretching the blanket of wickedness Entering the earth in love, animals congratulated Room in the Inn could not be found, so congested No religious people liked him even Priests of Pharisees Even some of their own Rabbis and Sadducees Sold for only 30 pieces of silver by the son of perdition Suffered in the cruel hands' that's no Word contradiction Carried the cross of my sins in deep agony And drunk a bitter cup of my deadly iniquity My saviour got an inflicting piercing pain of a head gear Ended up with no vestures nhas they all wanted to wear Sweetness sprung up out of that immense bitterness Weaknesses swallowed and overcome by boldness Eternity to win he enslaved death and took of its stinger Entered hell and preached to souls in great torment Then up with victory he arose like a real torrent Now with keys of hades, he came up with him those saints Eventually graves opened, triumph now reigns Sweetness now floods my once troubled soul, he arose Secure from all bluffs of the devil, his scream I oppose

~~~~~ Oh, Holy Night ~~~~~ Oh, the voices ring on high. Holiday music is playing. Hymns are sung while moon is nigh. Our prayers, to God, we're saying. Love and laughter everywhere. Yet underlying it all Neath the happy banter we share Is the solemn event we recall. God gave his son for us all. Hold your heads up high and sing. This is the day to praise our King. ~~~~~ oh, holy night .... the stars are brightly shining ~~~~~
Most of the time, I 'm coward, You may ask my mom or my dad. Let God guides you and in Him, put your trust, Over all your troubles and doubts. Sing praises to Him to pacify yourself and relax, Those are all things they give me as pieces of advice. For He is always there and He never forsake, Everyday be strong and hold on to your faith; And they added: be a good person always, Rest assured that He will take all your fears away.
Shed the clay that strives to be an anchor Tarnishing, but for awhile, the dreams of man Addled hopes can rise in the morning's mist Instead of languishing beneath despair Replenished strength awakens the spirit With a simple drink from the Milky Way And flirtations with Perseus opens up Yielding beauty in heaven's realm The grave that holds yet, a soul to Earth, Owns the judgment of defeat There is none, but one, that must decide How to build on wishes made Even when the faltering of darkness Shadows well the light of faith There is a spark that burns the night As gravity shows force, to mark a trail Rise!

Giving thanks to the almighty Father and creator, In Him I trust for HE is my great mentor, Void of infections and diseases which makes me healthy, I live among loved and benevolent ones making me wealthy, New and progressive things keep happening in my life, Glory and honour be unto HIM for making me to survive, Though the evil ones fought me to my marrow, Heaven came to my rescue and save me with a divine arrow, Attacked and afflicted with plenty pains and sorrows; Nonetheless;I overcome them all with celestial fellows, Knowledge and wisdom HE bestowed upon me in manifold, Sonorous songs and sonnets will I render to HIM in tenfold.

H anuka is the festival of light A host of candles meant to dedicate N ight time just one candle is lit U ntil all eight in their holders are alight K now your path light the way A men. Dec 8th is the start of Hanuka Day
I'm trapped in the American struggle/ Surrounded in the alcoholic drug addicted jungle/ In my soul called soul I seem to unknowingly look for trouble/ Yeah am I the only one to truly see our invisible chaotic bubble? / Am I the only one to truly live in while I realize the hidden pains in our own ghetto living rubble? / I see in what I still saw of the pains at the same time I hear the alcoholic mumbles/ Like a burnt cracker over a uncooked cookie I still see the culture crumble/ I see the staggering, I see the swerving and I see thy own stumbles/ Still yet I am crawling out the dirt like an ant spreading my wings in the sky like the bees bumble/ It's when I knew I was a soul called soul/ In my soul called soul I am in the super bowl/ Seven hundred seventy-seven now I can't let thy football fumble/ I am not going to let thy ring leader lead me in the circus no more, I am no longer an elephant Dumbo/ I'm here to stay not to go/ I been down that same road too many times before/ I know what it's like at the bottom, I hit it straight rock ,yeah I been that low/ now pains of my life I outgrow/it's when I knew I was a soul called soul In my soul called soul/ I hang on not to my enemies nor my friends but my own inner foes/ I got no true friends, I got no true bros/ I got no true women, I got no hoes/ I don't even know if I will even make it to be thirty-four/ I worry about alcoholic danger in the hood every time I walk out my front door/ I thank God I'm not rich and thank him for the experience of being dirt poor/ I thank him for the fact that I no longer have to steal from the local store/ I thank him for the simple fact that I can do simple everyday chores/ I remember a time when I was in a prison cell where even death itself felt like a bore/ until one day something great pick me up off the prison floor……..that was a time when I know I was a soul called SOUL/ I know my truck of life was ready to take it's damage when it can still pull its own toll/ I knew my boat of life was ready to go against high winds with a broken bow/ I knew I was ready when I can go against waves 100 feet high go under and still row/ if not then I make the surf board roll/ The storms comes like shadow hidden in the skies undergrowth/ I'm not only floating I'm also flying through them both/ I am no longer empty with darkness I am filled with light shone/ I am no longer alone, I am force of many through word flow/ I am a prophet among my own/ words put together like no other only I condone/ I say it in a unique tone/ I'm going to make it past the internet and cell phones/ I am the one, I am by a higher power chose/ These problems in life I will outgrow/ I will overcome being just another SOUL CALLED SOUL….
Such a silly concept is this, killing men they know exist. everyone all the while, put their faith in denial. till all the people with the power, insist their faiths will be devoured. can truly someone say they know, if everybody wants to show. something unseen that's truly there, my guess is as good as theirs. readily I do believe, everything I can percieve. in that I know I put my trust, given truths one knows they must. never say fire's not hot, simply prove to me it's not. so now I sit on my high horse, under God cannot be forced. put your faith in what YOU know, really I can't tell you though. enter in to your belief, make me not religions theif. everything says that though we dream, .

Faith is a powerful thing A source of help in times of trouble It can lift up the soul to new heights Toward the expanse of the heavens How blessed are those who find it. I was lost and alone in the world Suffering silently and without hope. Adrift in a sea of people. Plagued and tossed about by stormy seas Oppressed and burdened by a myriad of sins Weighed down and hoping to be rescued Even then, God's love broke through my dark heart Rescuing me with His Mighty Spirit Filling my mind with promises from His Word Unwavering in His Love, He saved me Lifting me out of the depths of the darkness. To live securely held by God's everlasting Arms His great Love and Holy Spirit have comforted me I have been transformed by the blood of Christ Now I am a new creation and changed forever Gone are my burdens and sorrows. He has given me life.
"There but for the grace of God go I",I heard them say,then they passed an addict begging on the streets and walked away, They call themselves God's children and through Gods lands they roam,but the homeless don't get charity,cause charity begins at home, There but for the grace of God go I and don't ya know,don't bother asking for thier help they'll only turn and go, So much for christian values leave them stacked up in the shelf,they'll tell you God will only help the man who helps himself, There but for the grace of God go I it's just a farce,so take your Christian values now and shove them up your arse, It's nothing but hypocrisy it's flagrant and it's rife,ther quick enough to pass remarks on someone elses life, So ther but for the grace of God go I 'n' aint it true,don't think that you're above it friend,one day it could be you.
Sensing each step I persuade my body onward and up. Trekking up toward the light that adorns a precious cup, Angels around sing gentle sounds, I never heard before. Imagining the beauty that awaits me past that golden door, Reality sets in that I am rising upward to Heaven's gate. Why oh why, have I been chosen to be given this fate. Again I see the Angels floating past my mortal soul. Yelling praises to him, our Lord, I met a mortal goal. Truth is what they said, even though I had sinned many ways. Only the living truth will deliver you upward, glorious praise. These steps I take I see all my sins on each tread that I take. Hearing forgiven, forgiven, my soul gets lighter upon the wake. Evangelical songs being sung, I pray, in his name, for my sake. Stairway brightens as I reach the top, hearing a question, I stop. Tell me, your saviors name, He who died upon the hilltop. Angels await my answer, tis a simple question that he does say. Reveling, Jesus I say, he took our sins, saving all upon that day. Seeing in my heart, I believed, he said come forth, cross over this way.
A life just beginning, and so unaware; Born he will not be--it just isn't fair! Oh, can't you just see him as he struggles so, Resisting the chemicals as inward they go? Too bad, for his mom didn't want him to live, Instead to abortion this body did give. Oh, listen to this voice and heed to this cry: Now's time to stop this ere more babies die! Abortion is murder, that can't be denied, But they call it "birth control," and they have just lied, Or "family planning" or some other name; Regardless, it's taking life and it is insane. To call it one's freedom or call it pro-choice Is forgetting one person and his right to a voice. One person, that baby, that life that's been thwarted, No choice has he had, for he was aborted! And now his blood cries from his heavenly home Because Jesus took him so he'd not be alone. On high he now dwelleth, and in his new place Rests forever from those who'd bring him disgrace. Torn from his mom's body in violent haste, In fire he was thrown there along with the waste. Only now his torn body has been all glorified, Never more to be butchered through man's greedy pride. Americans, please listen to the babies' dire plight Because abortion is murder; it's wrong and not right! Our God up in heaven will surely repay Returning this violence on our heads some sad day. Today is the day to reverse the decision Inscribed by the court through man's faulty vision. Oh, listen to this voice, and heed to this cry: Now's time to stop this ere more babies die! This poem is written with an acrostic of ABORTION.

Faith Is a Powerful Thing, just like love. Angelic blessings come from above I believe this, the first step to all things. Truth over lies will be the second step. Heaven is faith and love that it brings. Intelligence has no play, or is inept. Sincerity of both is the real key. Allegiance to self with giving others glee, Prepares your soul for real faith and love, Our hearts fragile, take beating without a glove. With just faith mountains are shaken down. Everyone has both, though hidden in frown. Religions are the basis, though not the patron. Forever has a destiny, honored with inspiration. Universally we are all the same, no matter the score. Listen to your souls goodness, evil ignore. These words came to me, I deliver them to you. Hearing is the first step, with actions so true. I am no-one special, though I am special to one. Never let love and faith, be lost from you way. God is everywhere, and hears when you pray.

When I look for something real I almost always find everything fake in what I see, yet I feel something out there waiting to come within me. When I do not seek what I really need or want I am not upon those ordinary people doing extraordinary things that are sought, yet in a normally crazy kind of way I know from somewhere I am to seek the unknown so that it may be known like it or not. It's not here, it's not there, because in a way I know it's everwhere, So when look at what I seen or what I saw, I know it doesn't mean Presence's Unseen can't be seen when you blindly stare at nothingness looking for somethingness up in the air. Its that forever Unseen Presence that got this cold heart to once again care.

Today and everyday is worth being thankful. Having warmth and love given is always thoughtful. All of us should carry this feeling throughout year. Not being thankful is just selfish, shows your fear. Kindness should be showed to all each and everyday. Sure, it may be tough at first, for your heart to sway. God gave everyone a mind, heart and soul the same. Individually we must all prepare and play the game. Victory shall be the joy and happiness, you bring. Inventory your heart; let your spirit free to sing. Never let a sour soul, spoil your delightful song. God is alive, great, awesome, he is never wrong. Discover loving essence; make it your quarry. Allow his honor to grace your existence and story. You and you alone are the keeper of our Lords glory.
Souls are guided by interior circumstances infatuated. Persons are accountable for own actions devaluated. Internal guidance is always there in some kind of form. Reading the right or wrong is what will break a storm. Indirect words may help with any decisions that inform. Torch within your spirit will always guide you true. Our hearts and minds will deliver a softer clue. Recycle the tribulations that you have lived thru. Carefully make the right choice in what pursues. Heal mistakes; forgive yourself, before darkness ensues.
Grace hOly Dependability
Seeds of the Savior's garden Advantaged by the early rain Bud and bloom in grace and pardon Bearing fruit that love sustain Acres to be reaped, hands like buzzing bees Teachers making the reapers bold Holiness of word performed is holiness of soul Send them forth to sow and garner Christ the vine master empowers all Heaven's storehouse becomes the richer Omitting judgment, helping those that fall O Lord, our God, we surrender all to you Lead us to green pastures, your vessels true
Gracious thought has been dropped from human inhabitants. Our hearts have become cold and distant to almost everything. Deference has no meaning for us or any other human. Before we can carry onward, we must remember the beginning. Lessons remembered are the key to our future roads to travel. Every soul must search inward to see where we are headed. Success is truly wonderful and we have fulfilled our winning. Success without faith is gone, and the road less traveled tortures. America has blessed each one of us from the beginning in faith. Mercy is upon our leaders, for they have lost the true reality. Erasing their hearts and minds of the reality, united we stand. Refuse greed mongers of their desires, replacing with honesty. Individuality of the representatives was our ancestor's goal. Call out God Bless America in truth, faith, freedom, to all. Anything less will be the end of whatever time we have left.
Satan Is Not-satisfaction
Praise Him for His Holy descent to earth Revere his Virgin Mother giving birth Annoint His head and feet with Oil of Myrrah Illuminate His Mother Mary's care Spiritually His soul was blessed Extolling His Father at God's behest Teacher He was to all who stopped and heard Honour his forbearance of wrath incurred Exemplary His traits for all to see Lauded he was when died at Calvary Obeisance His selfless sacrifice Redeemer He is of man's wayward vice Deliverer He's there at our demise
Let heavens light enrapture me, In league with Mother Nature I shall be, Guide me through to see the right path Help me guide others to their fresh start, Teach us well so in your glory we may bask. With every gift you bestow upon me, Ordained by a higher power to help us see, Revelation's unto us, you give for a cause, Key's to unlock all our hidden doors, Embrace we shall, with glory in our hearts, Rejoice in a better future, not hide in the past.
May Everyone Readily Receive You. Christ Has Risen Intimate Saviour To Make All Sinless.
Master and Lord, born of such a lowly birth, You came and lived a human life on earth. Loved by some, hated by others, Opposed and doubted by Your own brothers. Ridiculed and mocked by those You adored, Despised and rejected - Your words, they ignored. In agony, You prayed, "Not My will, but Thine." Soldiers came and took You, by God's design. Rulers judged You - found You guilty of a crime, In fury, the angry crowd screamed, "He must die!" So they beat You, tortured You and called You names, Eager for blood, they caused You great shame. Nailed to the cross, for all to see, You suffered, bled and died for me. In anguish, Your Father turned away His face, No tomb of Your own, buried in a rich man's place. Dutiful friends came to mourn their loss, Every fear they had was soon given pause. Emmanuel - God is with us - alive forevermore. Death has lost it's victory. The grave stings no more.

Amidst the shadows of loved ones past, there is something. Nearer to humankind then we would ever really know. Great and small works of stone stand watch and quietly sing. Each one piece of art, a tribute of what heavens bestow, Light from morning star embraces what the new day will bring. I have seen the gracious glimmer from above as statues glow. Carefully they watch, greeting, allowing visitors hearts forego. Stone is their form, though love and compassion their creation. Treasure to be found in each different Angel that you will see, Angels guide, while guarding till the end of times duration. Trace their feelings, embrace their love, and seek it for thee. Unknown wonders to many stand quiet, serving salvation. Everyone can view the power of these in a new found decree. Sculptures by man, Gods images of faith, they give regeneration. inspired by contest Angels In Cemeteries by Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~ not for contest.

Here above your world I am no longer sad. Everyone I ever knew is here, and I am glad. Angels guided me to this place of no more sad. Visions of you, I have forever, this I must add. Each day that passes I grow within your heart. Never think that I am gone, for I'll never part. Stars of night are my eyes, secrets of our art. Graciously I watch you, as you grow and learn. Angels take me to visit you, so I will not yearn. Take care of your family that you have so dear. Eventually my little one you will have no fear.

Tablet scheme comes as bitter pill
SPECIAL REPORT: Faulty devices, anti-social behaviour and deteriorating handwriting skills dog the government's programme as it enters its second year

While the government's tablet computers for schools scheme moves forward on a larger scale, the policy's continued success will depend on lessons being learned from its first year.One academic year has passed since the Pheu Thai-led government distributed free tablet computers to Prathom 1 (Grade 1) students.
(Story continues after the infographic)
Those students are now second-graders and have been allowed to take the tablets with them, while the government is procuring more than 800,000 new tablets for the next first-graders.

Some of the most obscenely wealthy people in the world are also owners of major U.S. pro sports franchises.
And for the first time, you can add Michael Jordan to that list of the obscenely wealthy, at least if your definition of reaching that threshold is being a billionaire.
(As a thousandaire, we might cut it off differently, but still).
Jordan is — according to Forbes — a billionaire, earning that designation for the first time. He's also the owner of the Charlotte Hornets (yes, they're the Hornets again after being the stupid Bobcats for a while).
Not on the billionaire list, by the way: Craig Leipold, Zygi Wilf or any Pohlad, though Wolves owner (and Star Tribune owner) Glen Taylor is on there at $2.4 billion.
Per ESPN.com, there is speculation that Jordan makes $100 million a year in royalties from Nike, so that would explain a lot of his massive wealth.
And it does still make us wonder if Kevin Garnett — who has made more than $300 million in his NBA career — will really have the financial chops to own an NBA team.
The Wild traded for ex-Gopher Jordan Leopold today before the deadline in a move designed to bolster their defensive group.
You could choose to believe that the seeds of the trade were planted during some conversation between execs with the Wild and Columbus, but WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
We're going to believe it was all thanks to a letter Leopold's daughter sent the Wild, apparently sometime this season, basically begging them to bring her dad home.
Here's the letter, as tweeted by KFAN:
Leopold's 11 Year old daughter wrote the @MNWild a letter pleading for trade…AND IT WORKED! http://t.co/C4ctmymTZp pic.twitter.com/Nkvrm59X4C

Nikola Pekovic has never played more than 65 games in a season. When the Wolves signed him to a five-year, $60 million contract extension in the summer of 2013, the motivation was two-fold:
1) They thought they were building a contender around Kevin Love, and offensively Love and Pek worked very well together. So in order to convince Love to stick around, and without other options at center, they couldn't afford to let Pek walk.
2) They were hoping Pek would stay healthy enough — maybe missing 15 games a year — to justify the expense because, when healthy, he is a productive (albeit unique) post player.
Since signing that extension, Pek has played 81 of the Wolves' 140 games. We would bank on that number staying at 81 for a while, now that Pekovic's bothersome ankle problem has flared up again.
Last year, his 54 games were productive: 17.5 ppg, 8.7 rpg and 54.1 percent shooting from the field. You could almost live with him doing that and only playing two-thirds of the games for the life of the contract.
This year, those numbers — without Love spreading the floor and giving him more room to work down low — have dipped to 13.2 ppg and 7.8 rpg on a dismal 42.9 percent shooting. His health problems seem to be limiting his mobility, to the point that he's a candidate to have his shot blocked on every post-up or putback.
He just turned 29, so this should be the prime of his career. But he's also a giant man who puts a lot of pressure on those poor ankles and feet. There is a nagging suspicion that — without Love and with those injuries — this is close to the version of Pek we are destined to see for the life of the contract (another three years, at roughly $12 million per year, after this season).
And that would create a two-fold problem: First, that's a lot of money and years left for a player who might not fit into the team's current style and whose production has diminished. Second, it potentially puts the Wolves in an awkward spot if they get one of the top two picks in this year's draft and have a shot at an elite college big man because that player, plus Pek, plus Gorgui Dieng would be quite a logjam at center.
Our best guess is the Wolves would still take an elite big man if they got that chance, and then try to move Pekovic to another team. To do that, though, they would probably have to take back another big contract.
Unless Pek makes a magical transformation and can return to even his 2013-14 production level, his is the one contract you look at, long-term with the Wolves, and cringe at. It won't kill them, cap-wise, but it will weigh them down.

Before we get to the weekend preview, I want to give a shout to the Vikings for putting on a cool event for soccer fans last Sunday at Brits in Minneapolis. The Vikings treated everyone to free beer, breakfast buffet, t-shirts and pint glasses. Thanks, Zygi! This was part of their continued interest in getting an MLS franchise to play in the new Vikings stadium. I have been very open on social media that I prefer the other group lands a team, but I have to give the Vikings credit for putting on a fun event. VP Lester Bagley even came — although I didn't see him move more than a few feet from the door. Don't be shy, Lester! Us soccer folk are good people!
Alright, it's a lopsided slate of matches this weekend with all of the meat worth sinking your teeth into coming on Sunday. Great triple-header, though. And definitely worth getting up early for.
Onto the matches!
No. 1: Liverpool vs Manchester City at Anfield
When: Sunday at 6:00AM on NBC Sports Network
Last year: This was the match where Liverpool fans believed they won their first Premier League trophy. They beat City 3-2 after blowing a 2-0 goal lead but finding a winner from Philippe Coutinho in the 78th minute. They controlled their own destiny with four matches to go but lost to Chelsea, blew a 3-goal lead at Palace and finished two points behind City. One of the biggest crotch-shots in recent sports history.
Set those alarm clocks! Earrrrrly start for this one. If 6:00am freaks you out, sleep in a bit later. I talked to Shane the manager over at Brits and he says they are showing the match on tape-delay at 7:30 with doors opening at 7:15. As always, the Liverpool fans will be out in force at Brits.
Everyone, including Wessel de Nuclear, wrote Liverpool off months ago. Thought it would be a one-and-done for them returning to Champions League and not another sustained run of top-four finishes their supporters were dreaming of. Now they haven't lost in their last 10 league matches and sit two points out of third place.
They'll welcome a City team with renewed confidence in their bid for the title after picking up two points on Chelsea by embarrassing Newcastle 5-0 last Saturday. A win over Liverpool would cut their deficit to two points against Chelsea and put all the pressure on the Blues to win the game-in-hand they'll have due to the League Cup final on Sunday.
This one has the stench of a draw lingering all over it but a win for either side is important enough that hopefully we see that back-and-forth frantic action we all love and crave.
No. 2: Arsenal vs Everton at Emirates Stadium
When: Sunday at 8:05AM on NBC Sports Network
Last year: These two played to a 1-1 draw last December at Emirates Stadium with both goals coming after the 80th minute. You might not believe this (just kidding, you should absolutely believe this), Arsenal blew the 1-0 lead.
Arsenal sit alone in the race for the third place trophy with 48 points. They might have just cinched the thing up already had it not been for losses to other top-four contenders Southampton and Tottenham in the last month.
Everton continue to embarrass the idiots like myself who made them their sneaky pick to finish in a Champions League spot. Tim Howard continues to look like the kid that gets thrown in to play goalie that doesn't want to in a U-12 match instead of the Captain America he was last summer vs Belgium. The man is entitled to a rough season but it just makes me sad to watch whenever they are on TV.
Arsenal suffered a horrible 3-1 loss to Monaco at home in the first leg of the Round of 16 in Champions League. They have now been outscored 12-2 in their last four Round of 16 first leg matches. Oof. It appears to be another one-and-done for Arsenal in the knockout round.
They will be the favorites to take three points against Everton, but it is fair to wonder what kind of effect the Monaco match will have the rest of the way. Arsene Wenger has always done a great (and underappreciated) job keeping Arsenal in the top four. They haven't finished better than third since 2005 but they have always kept their head above Champions League water- sometimes by margins as small as the zipper on Wenger's sleeping bag jacket. But maybe this — one of the most competitive races in recent memory — is when they finally slip up. Then the Gunner fans that called for Wenger's head during the years of top-four finishes and Champions League will really have something to whine about.
No. 1: Chelsea vs Tottenham at Wembley Stadium in the League Cup Final
When: Sunday at 10:00AM on beIN Sports
Last time: Chelsea and Spurs last met in a Cup Final in 2008. Spurs hoisted the trophy after Spurs went up 2-1 late in added time and Chelsea couldn't equalize. The last time they met in an FA Cup semi-final? 2012 when Chelsea won 5-1. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing, really. I just wanted to type it.
The League Cup is an odd thing. Of the four trophies an English side can win each year, it is by far the least significant. Top Premier League teams field mostly youth sides in the early going to get bench players some run. Nobody — fans, players, managers — really sheds a tear if they get knocked out. But if your team keeps winning, you get to a point where everyone just sorta says We came this far, might as well win the thing.
This year's final is spicier than usual and actually appeals to neutrals for the first time in a while. Does anyone remember when Swansea City beat Bradford 5-0 a few years back? Does anyone even remember who played in the final last year? I'll be honest, I had to look it up. City beat Sunderland 3-1. Woo!
The Chelsea/Spurs London rivalry is certainly not as big as it's Spurs/Arsenal counterpart but it is still juicy. It had been very one-sided for years before Spurs poured some gasoline on the fire to renew things with a 5-3 win on New Year's Day — their first win over Chelsea since 2010.
A trophy, 100,000 pounds (no idea how to do the cool pound sign on a keyboard) and a spot in Europa League are all on the line. But none of that really matters to either side all that much.
What's really on the line here is pride and the thrill of defeating your rival at Wembley. Spurs catch a break with Nemanja Matic being suspended for pushing a man who tried to end his career last Saturday against Burnley. Matic is a key cog to this Chelsea squad and, somehow, underrated by folks who point to Chelsea's big knockers when talking about the team's success. But the Blues have quality replacements so don't go inscribing Tottenham on the cup yet. Also, it's a final. You never really know with these things.
Alright, everyone. Talk more next week. Only 11 matches to go. Keep your socks taped and your oranges sliced.
Roger I. Abrams, a law professor writing for Huffington Post, takes quite a bit of issue with Judge David Doty's ruling in Federal Court on Thursday that reversed — at least temporarily, until the NFL appealed later in the day — Adrian Peterson's suspension.
Here is where Judge Doty went wrong. He overturned the decision based on his own view of what (arbitrator Harold) Henderson should have done. Henderson, Judge Doty said, should have followed the "law of the shop" as Doty saw that law.
Furthermore, Abrams writes:
There are more problems with Judge Doty's decision. He criticizes Mr. Henderson's failure to apply the "well-recognized bar against retroactivity." Where exactly in the collective bargaining agreement is this "well-recognized bar?" Once again, the Judge applies his own personal view, marching down the wrong path.
That said, Abrams concedes that the result of the ruling might be the correct one:
The irony of Judge Doty's decision is that the outcome he ultimately reached might be correct but for the wrong reasons. The decision by Mr. Henderson was not that of an arbitrator. It was a management decision taken pursuant to the grant of power under the collective bargaining agreement.
But Abrams concludes that the NFL should win its appeal. Long story short: Peterson is right back where he started and figures, at least in the opinion of one legal expert, to stay there.

Born: December 28, 1960
Grammy-nominated artist Ted Nash enjoys an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger, and educator. Born in Los Angeles, multi-instrumentalist Nash's interest in music started at an early age. He was exposed to music and encouraged by his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and uncle, reedman Ted Nash - both well-known studio and jazz musicians. Nash blossomed early, a "young lion" before the term became marketing vernacular.
During his first three years in New York Nash became a regular member of a variety of ensembles. He worked with the Gerry Mulligan Big Band, the National Jazz Ensemble and the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra....

- Loire Valley
- France
- Muscadet
Despite being most closely associated with fine white wines made with the excellent Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes which thrive there, the region of the Loire Valley in France also produces several other quality wines. The sub-region of Chinon is highly esteemed for its excellent Cabernet Franc based red wines, packed full of unique character and excellent fruity flavors, and the sparkling crémant wines of the region are adored by people all over the world. The region benefits enormously from the fertile valley it sits in, and the oceanic breezes which blow over the area, cooling the vines and helping them reach full and balanced levels of ripeness. The Loire Valley is an ancient wine region, with a viticultural history which stretches back two thousand years and is stronger than ever today.
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

It is a little big, but I just fold the rim. Soo soft
I love this hat, it is a little big but nice and stretchy so it does not hurt your head at all. I hate when hats a snug and they give you a headache. This one is perfect for that just needs to be cuffed. Well made washed well.

COPT Reports 2012 Results; Affirms 2013 Guidance
Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT or the Company) (NYSE: OFC) announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.
"The COPT team exceeded expectations in 2012, with our strong execution of the Strategic Reallocation Plan, record development leasing and strengthening our balance sheet," stated Roger A. Waesche, Jr., COPT's President & Chief Executive Officer. "In fact, notwithstanding the on-going challenges presented by the Federal budget issues, we executed leases at development and redevelopment properties for 1.2 million square feet – the highest new leasing volume in COPT's history," he stated.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 – Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.16 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to EPS loss of ($1.26) in the fourth quarter of 2011. Diluted funds from operations per share (FFOPS), as adjusted for comparability, was $0.51 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, which represented an 11% decrease from the $0.57 reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjustments for comparability encompass items such as acquisition costs, impairments and gains on non-operating properties, losses on early extinguishment of debt and derivative losses. Please refer to the reconciliation tables that appear later in this press release. Per NAREIT's definition, FFOPS for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $0.49 versus ($0.35) reported in the fourth quarter of 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2012 – EPS loss was ($0.03) for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to an EPS loss of ($1.97) for 2011. FFOPS for the full year 2012, as adjusted for comparability, was $2.11, which represented a 1% decrease from the $2.14 reported in 2011.

Obama: Libya mission necessary to protect 'common humanity'
President Obama says US military involvement in Libya prevented a massacre of civilians. He suggests that military action will remain limited and is not about regime change.
Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP
In a nationally televised address Monday evening, President Obama defended the US's role in military operations in Libya, calling it limited yet successful. And he asserted that the US was acting in its national interest.
The president also announced that command of the operation, aimed at protecting Libyan civilians amid a popular uprising against the rule of Muammar Qaddafi, would finish a transfer from US to NATO hands on Wednesday. Recapping events to date, Mr. Obama said that the US-led coalition had struck regime forces in Benghazi, saving the city and its people; hit Colonel Qaddafi's air defenses, paving the way for a no-fly zone; and cut off much of the regime's source of supply.
"Tonight, I can report that we have stopped Qaddafi's deadly advance," Obama said.
Obama made clear that he was aware of the criticism that has rained on his head since the first US cruise missile struck Libya on March 19, following a UN Security Council resolution two days earlier that authorized "all necessary measures" except an occupation force to protect Libyan civilians. He attempted to frame his approach as a middle option – not hands off but also not doing "whatever it takes" to bring down Qaddafi and usher in a new government.

On Sunday Oct. 19 people with a purpose will gather at the Skaneateles Community Center to raise money and awareness of the hunger issue that affects so many around the world.
Crop Walk 2008 will get a walking, swimming or skating start with registration at 12:15 p.m. The walk begins at 1 p.m.
"It's to raise money for hunger all over the world and 25 percent of the money raised comes back to the Skaneateles food pantry," said Kitty Spinelli.
There are three routes set up for walkers, including a one-mile fun walk that consists of making two laps around Austin Park. The second route is a three-mile sidewalk walk that begins with a half lap around Austin Park.
The third route is longer and more challenging as there are parts of the path without sidewalks. Walkers are advised to use caution while walking, running and crossing streets.
There's also a one-mile swim or skate planned.
To raise money, those involved have been getting sponsors, and while the money is being raised for a good cause, there are also rewards to be given to those doing the raising.
For the person who raises the most money, they will receive a pizza party for 10 people at Joe's Pasta Garage -- a good incentive for anyone who enjoys a nice pie.
Sponsor envelopes are available in all school offices, churches and at the Skaneateles Community Center. Participants can also raise money online at cropwalkonline.org.
For more information, call 373- 7229.
Listed below are the directions for the walking routes:
Route 1 (One Mile Fun Walk)
* Two times around Austin Park
Route 2 (3 mile sidewalk walk)
* Start with half lap around Austin Park. Follow the path to your right and proceed towards Allyn Arena and the corner of Austin St. and Jordan Rd.

STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Jerick McKinnon took over at quarterback in the second quarter and carried 13 times for 162 yards to lead Georgia Southern to a 35-16 Southern Conference win over Samford on Saturday night.
McKinnon gave the Eagles (3-1, 2-1) an immediate lift when he replaced starter Ezayi Youyoute with the Bulldogs (4-1, 2-1) leading 10-7. McKinnon rushed 14 yards on his first play and scored on a 41-yard run three plays later.
Lavelle Westbrooks' 72-yard interception return put Georgia Southern ahead 21-10 at halftime. The Eagles, who won their 13th straight at home, held Samford without a first down for 24 minutes, 36 seconds, starting 8:25 before halftime.
After Samford made it 21-16 in the third quarter on Jaquiski Tartt's 80-yard return of a fumble, McKinnon's 67-yard burst gave Georgia Southern a 28-16 lead.
Dominique Swope added a 40-yard touchdown run in the fourth. He had 133 yards on 21 carries.

Match Report
Newcastle regained their four-point advantage at the top of the table and opened up a commanding 12-point lead over third-placed Nottingham Forest and the Midlands outfit - the next visitors to St. James' Park - have played a game more after beating Scunthorpe 3-0.
Indeed a win over Billy Davies' side would see United as good as up if they string together four more wins.
The manner of the win was so one-sided, with Scunthorpe an embarrassment in the first half as United attacked at will and Chris Hughton's side could easily have been six up at the break.
Time after time Joe Murphy stood in the way of a rout in a game that looked nothing more than a training exercise at times for Newcastle.
The Iron went into the game having conceded the most away goals in the Championship - 39 - and in their first visit to Tyneside for 36 years, they got off lightly as they saw that figure rise to 42.
Andy Carroll scored in each half and Peter Lovenkrands put away the other to take both strikers to 14 for the season.
Kevin Nolan also thought he had reached that total but had a header disallowed and Jonas Gutierrez had another chalked off also for a borderline offside decision.
Scunny - firmly anchored in a relegation spot - are incredibly one of only four teams to have beaten table-topping United this season when they were 2-1 home winners in October.
But any hopes they may have had of stopping United from increasing their run to 19 unbeaten home games this season, evaporated after only ten minutes.
Danny Guthrie's corner picked out Carroll who was allowed to rise unchallenged and plant a powerful header across Murphy.
From then on it was merely a matter of how many United would score. On a few recent occasions Newcastle have exceeded expectations with the size of their wins. This latest success was to the contrary - they scored less than expected.
Within 60 seconds of going in front, Nolan's header was ruled out and that was followed by Lovenkrands rattling the woodwork from a Jose Enrique cross.
The overworked Murphy brilliantly clawed out a Carroll 25-yarder before Newcastle doubled their tally after 22 minutes.
Wayne Routledge's throughball was to perfection for Lovenkrands and the Dane's finish was as clinical as ever.
The pressure continued and Murphy was again at his best to keep out Lovenkrands and Iron skipper Rob Jones cleared off the line to again deny Lovenkrands.
The second half was more of an anti-climax but United saved the best for last when Carroll took Guthrie's crossfield pass in his stride to neatly dink the ball over Murphy and pick up a yellow card for his celebrations.
It could have been a lot more and the end could not come soon enough for Scunny.

We build our team on the draft. The whole team is either drafted or JAGS at vet minimum. We did trade for Dillon, and sign Colvin and Harrison. But with those three exceptions, we didn't sign Redskin-type FA. If we can get good solid players, especially out of our 4 first day picks, plus a surprise or 2 in the second day ... we are looking good. But the key I think this off-season, won't really be expensive FA, but instead will be key extensions, re-signing what players we can, and going to the draft. With the exception of Adalius Thomas, there are no big-buck FA that I see BB going after. I see BB going for a few low-key FAs, and then building our team with the draft.
If he was willing to pay what Thomas will want we would be better off paying Samuels. He might be the other cornerstone to go with Brady and Seymour, maybe, not convinced but if Beioli pays him we can be assured of his value.
Isn't this the Patriot way?? I also suspect that they may take care of Warren and possibly Wilfork, this seems to be the trend to lock up the guys in the trenches long term.
Excellent point - the value of Samuel to the Patiots will be known by whether or not BB/SP decide to show him the money. Or, are they better off throwing those dollars at Thomas or Clement??
In addition to replenishing talent, the draft is important for cost control. The relatively high salaries of veteran players are offset by the low salaries of players on their first (rookie) contracts. A team is in a lot of trouble if they have a couple of bad drafts.

Arcam A75+
I believe that good sound quality is vital to the real enjoyment of music and should not just be solely the concern of hi-fi enthusiasts. You don't have to be a gourmet to appreciate fine cooking, but many music-lovers settle for the convenience of a packaged system, hi-fi's equivalent to tasteless food, and miss out badly when it comes to realistic music reproduction.
Arcam has used its design expertise gained over more than twenty-seven years to provide high performance solutions for people who demand the best from music. The DiVA (Digitally integrated Video and Audio) series, will transform the way you listen to your favourite sounds. The price and quality or the Arcam systems are class as being in the middle of the price and quality range. As far as I am concerned this is good enough for me, as I can hear a good quality sound, which I can appreciate. I also have listened to top of the range systems and I cant justify the extra cost to hear the same music, yes there is a noticeable difference in the sound quality of the more expensive systems, but it is not for my pocket.
I have been interested in listening to music on good quality Hi-Fi separates for a number of years. I try to buy as good as I can afford, which is some way short of the top of the range stuff. The quality I like to buy in the separates are similar, if a higher spec amp is bought to drive a lower spec CD player, you are loosing out on the performance of the amp. As a result of this I buy equipment which complements one another in terms of quality and performance.
It is from this perspective that I bought the Arcam A75+. The machine cost me £499.00, in February 2003 and was bought in Lyric Hi-Fi Belfast.
This is a machine which Arcam have brought out after the A85 (top of the range) A65 and A75, these two did not have the same success as the first one. Arcam realised this and soon brought out the A75+. There are significant changes in the + version which include -
Improved input and feedback coupling linearity
Increased output power supply,
Spec on the machine.
The machine is available in Black or Silver.
Much of the rear panel is taken up by convection cooling fins, with a relatively modest surface area, though the amp doesnt run hot even with extended high volume operation. There are 5 line level inputs including a tape and a MN phono which can be switched to operate as a line input, giving a potential of 6 line inputs. A preamplifier output is available for bi-amp systems, and two sets of loudspeakers can be connected via BFA connections, one switchable on the front panel. The system is fully remote controlled.
The original A75 on a hearing test to me sounded like a blond with a 34DD bust, it isnt quite neutral, but is certainly demands attention But the A75+ certainly does not sound like that as there is a better integrated quality, with a sharper, more powerful and more tuneful bass that knows how to breath fire when necessary. The character of the sound majors on clarity and precision, but without overstepping the mark; this is always an eminently listenable design. I listen to this amp on a pair of Kef Q 5 speakers (will review these some time in the future) in a room which is quite hard in terms of acoustics.
This is a neatly packaged, well equipped amp, with some interesting features, and does justice to the DiVA range.
Continuous Power Output Per Channel
Both channels driven 8 Ohms, 20Hz-20kHz 50W
Single channel 4 Ohms, 1kHz 90W
Distortion 8 Ohms, 80% power, 1kHz 0.008%
Input sensitivity 540mV
Input impedance 100k Ohms
Signal to noise ratio* (CCIR) 110dB
Power consumption (maximum) 400VA
Size W/D/H mm. inc. feet 430x330x85
This is a machine I have been happy with over the past year and a half and is one that I would recommend to anyone who is interesting in listening to a good quality at affordable prices.
All the best Mark

1explore | TOUCH THAT DIALATL Radio
101 Marietta St. 12th Floor (404) 765-9750 hotspotatl.comToday, commercial radio sucks pretty much everywhere. Not so in the ATL, which does its hip-hop roots proud with three bangin' rap stations: Hot 107.9, Streetz 94.5, and V103.3 (good at 6 p.m., when local hero Greg Street takes over the airwaves). Rent whatever car has the best stereo and spend your visit alternating between these three stations. They'll make traffic a hell of a lot more enjoyable, and bring you up to speed on who's hot in the streets.

"We added certain things to the invitation to make it more personalized to us which was no problem at all. This company is great at editing everything to your liking. The purple is beautiful and the flowers on the back look awesome! I can't wait to send these out!!"

Loved this place. Fantastic set up especially if you are cycling. Garage to store the bikes, laundry service & hosts who were extremely helpful. Rooms simple but very clean. Great restaurant too. All round an excellent place to stay.
