Fans are playing flag football near the site of The Big Game, and they have some thoughts to share.
There's no stadium like it: MetLife Stadium is home to two NFL teams and will be home to The Big Game's first open-air championship in a cold weather climate.
The Seattle Seahawks arrived in New Jersey last evening around 8:00pm EST. They will use the NY Giants practice facility all week, located right next to MetLife Stadium. QB Russell Wilson met with the media upon their arrival.
The official game program for the Big Game is drawing some sneers from folks on the New Jersey side of this event.
With the matchup now set between the Broncos and Seahawks, the focus becomes the tickets to the Big Game and what people are willing to pay to see this historic event.
Fans attending the Super Bowl in the Meadowlands will not be allowed to tailgate.
A New Jersey man has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League, claiming that it is withholding Super Bowl tickets from the public and allowing resale prices to soar out of the reach of many average football fans.
One feature that makes MetLife Stadium unique from other football venues are the four giant jumbotrons that hang from the upper deck in each of the four corners of the stadium.
Only in Dallas can fans get the kind of access to the players that football fans of the Jets and Giants get at MetLife Stadium.
For any team that visits MetLife Stadium, site of Super Bowl XLVIII, they are keenly reminded of the success enjoy by the New York Giants.
Like their partner, the NY Giants, the Jets get a sizable amount of premium space to do what they choose at MetLife Stadium.
When the Giants and Jets joined hands to get the state of the art MetLife Stadium built through private funding, each team was allowed to have approximately 5,000 feet of premium space to do what they pleased with.

It's a great product for a natural, glowy look. It gives that peachy-pink look but it isn't that pinky or peachy that you look like a doll, overall a great product but after a while; after a while/ after it oxidize it turns darker and turned kind of dark but again overall great product
I really like this product – I have a mini instead of the full size, and I took it travelling as it was small and I wouldn't be too upset if it broke. Well I ended up really loving it! It's really quite long wearing – on me, other blushes are pretty much gone by the end of the day, but this is still there, and mostly intact. I was obsessed with the limited edition MAC Supercontinental blush, and now I rarely us that and reach for this instead!
I'm left quite disappointed by this shade. It's pigmented, but it's rather powdery – I often find I pick up too much product, or not enough (then I go back and get too much!) It "sticks" where you apply it, then I find it never looks seemless – it's hard to get a soft edge. I almost never reach for this product and will probably give it away to someone at some stage.
This powder smells absolutely divine, but the problem is the pigmentation. I have light to medium skin and it takes several swipes to make the colour show on my cheeks (and I wear a very moderate amount of blush, nothing excessive). The brush is nice, soft, handy. Even though I love the sceny, and how it always looks natural and has a gorgeous, luminous finish, I won't recommend.
This is a beauty guru favorite for a reason! I keep this in my kit and my makeup bag.
For one thing, its a great product to have in your kit, its a color that universally works for pretty much anybody.
Application is easy, it comes with a brush which is perfect for contouring and it goes on seamlessly and is extremely blendable, it blends really nicely with blush. Along with contouring I have to say it makes a wonderful bronzer for all around your face.
I also really like how it has little to no scent, a lot of bronzers have a beachy scent and I find it uneccessary and annoying at times. My go to bronzer has to be nonscented
I just wish that this bronzer had a teensy bit more color payoff and much less fallout, but i have to say its my fave out of eveything ive tried. I have recommended it to a ton of people
I was looking for a rose gold blush to add to my extensive blush collection. I had toyed with the idea of purchasing one from the NARS sexual appeal collection but I was eventually won over Rockateur.
I applied with a wide brush and brushed it onto the apple of my cheeks. Straight away it provided me with a shimmering healthy glow. The product is buildable and like a lot of the other Benefit powders applies like a dream and it is very hard to over do it.
The shade is gorgeous a light pink with subtle hints of rose gold shimmer.
The only negative I am going to give this product is that there is less in it than the other Benefit powders.
First of all, there maybe should be a category for packaging because this square BOX and stupid brush are…well…stupid, though I have to admit that the brush is good for applying contour powder on those rare occasions when I try to contour. I got a full size box of Coralista from Sephora in some points bonus (I think) – perhaps when the packaging was being changed (mine has a totally separate lid rather than one that is attached). It is a pretty colour but coral and peach blushes just are not my best shades so I am not all that thrilled with how it looks on me, especially if I'm wearing a stronger lip colour, since I tend to go for berry, blue-red, deep pink, etc. and none of these looks great with coral on my cheeks. If I'm just wearing gloss or something like Revlon Berry Smoothie, it looks better, though.
I was not happy with this at all. I originally thought it was a blush but it's so sheer it shows no color. Then I found out its more suited as a finishing powder and tried it as that. It's ok. There are finishing powders I like much more. This one was just a waste for me. It's somewhat chalky too.
This blush gives my cheeks a very natural flush (I'm NC25-30). It's a warm coral color that perks up my complexion and gives a nice sheen so the color is not flat. Sometimes if I feel I need more color I'll add a brighter blush as a pop on the apples of my cheeks but this is one of my favorite 'natural' looking blushes.
I've had Georgia in my stash for several years now, and use it a couple of times a week at least, especially in the summer. It has a very slight sheen, but looks natural. I'm something of a shimmerphobe, so it's just the thing for my very pale skin. It has a lovely peach scent when applied, but the scent fades quickly. FYI, there's a lot of product in this packaging. I've barely made a dent in it.
Perfect everyday blush for pale to fair skin. Looks very natural and glowing on skin, just not as all over face powder–too much sparkle. Color is well balanced, cool pink with a hint of peach–doesn't look like a typical blush but gives a perfect flush to cheeks.
Very versatile color that's hard to overdo. Foolproof product, light rose scent, controversial value (old packaging 10g, new flip box design 7g). Packaging is sturdy cardboard and includes a brush that works surprisingly well in a pinch.

Thumbs down to the South Carolina Department of Education and State Superintendent of Education Dr. Mick Zais for their stumbling, bumbling response to teacher unrest over a proposed new teacher evaluation system.
A crowd of some 300 teachers turned out last week in Florence to hear Zais and company discuss the changes, which are part of the states proposed waiver from federal regulations under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and, presumably, to answer questions on same.
Like their compatriots in Greenville and Charleston, who turned out for similar meetings last month, those assembled werent happy when they left.
Questions werent really answered, and the meeting was run in a heavy-handed manner that stifled debate the free flow of information.
This is a blunder at a number of levels.
First of all, it should have come as no surprise that any proposed change, addition or discussion to the ever-contentious teacher evaluation process would come as fingernails across a chalkboard to South Carolinas teaching population.
Like their counterparts nationwide, teachers view evaluation with extreme skepticism. Generally speaking, they dont think it can be done well how can anyone possibly understand what I have to go through in my classroom every day? and certainly dont think some outsider from outside the public education world could have a clue as to how do it.
So the fact that the SCDE was caught by surprise by the teacher onslaught at the hearings on the departments plans for moving forward with new guidelines for evaluations (and more) is, well, surprising.
OK, that happens, but the departments response was clunky and heavy handed. Instead of an open forum, where some steam might have been blown off, teachers and others were required to submit questions in writing.
This can be a useful way to conduct a big group Q-and-A, but for angry crowds it smells like censorship.
Thats exactly how it was perceived here and elsewhere. Zais decision to let his subordinates do most of the talking in Florence also seems like a mistake.
He was elected to direct education policy and to be the face of public education in the state.
A proponent of charter schools, choice plans and other controversial measures, he needs to stand in and take the heat. That he chose not to do so is disappointing.
Having said all that, we should point out that this is not the same as a thumbs up for teachers who may be stonewalling a potentially more rigorous evaluation process. Most teachers concede some sort of evaluation is proper, but teacher organizations have long argued against almost every form of it.
Thats not useful for the goal of better education, and Zais missteps dont make it right. There should have been open debate on the critical question of evaluation and there was not. Smart guys like Zais ought to have been able to figure that out.

South Carolina's Department of Health wants to see the state issue a ban on the use of food stamps for sugary drinks, cookies, candy and cakes.
It's merely a recommendation by a state agency at this point, but sticking to the proposal could be a sound idea as long as the right parameters are set.
If the state can find the legal grounds to make steps toward implementation, it must be careful not to weigh the guidelines and specifications too heavily one way or the other.
An overly generalized ban could see little to no impact, while highly restrictive, inflexible measures could do more harm than good. Instituting such a requirement could set the state on a healthier path and allow food stamps, which are a taxpayer-subsidized service, to be used for better nourishment instead of adding to growing health concerns. But applying it to real-world scenarios could prove troublesome.
South Carolina has the nation's seventh-highest obesity rate, with at least 30 percent of the state's adults considered obese. Unhealthy eating habits are also seemingly ingrained in our society, with ads for unhealthy foods permeating our culture.
Particularly in the rural parts our state, South Carolinians additionally deal with an issue known as food deserts, areas with limited access to large grocery stores that offer fresh and affordable foods.
Instead of nearby supermarkets, some communities are seemingly stuck with finding the quickest and closest option, usually fast food or even what can be picked up at the nearest gas station.
Consequently, some South Carolinians, including those using food stamps, are susceptible to poor diets merely because of the lack of resources around them.
It's obviously an issue that needs to be curbed, but legislating behavior is an uphill battle.
In recent years, both Minnesota and Mississippi have tried to move toward implementing more health-conscience laws and programs. Minnesota was turned down on the federal level, while Mississippi withdrew its proposal before consideration. New York City's ban on sugary drinks also became a hot-button issue recently, only to be rejected by the federal government as too broad in scope.
Should a ban be put in place in South Carolina, the effectiveness could easily be suspect if lawmakers and state officials don't do their homework.
Determining what food is considered healthy and unhealthy is a fine line, and we can only imagine at this point how the state would go about educating the public with the changes.
It would likely take a massive effort, one that could add a hefty price tag to the state. We must also remember that there are thousands of South Carolinians who don't use food stamps, but still unwrap unhealthy snacks and suffer from obesity and other weight-related concerns.
It's commendable to see the state working to improve the lives of its citizens, but implementing and enforcing such changes may ultimately be valueless if done halfheartedly.

#2: The perfect jeans - We hunt for them our entire lives and when we find them you may as well get ready to pry them from our cold, dead hands. Fashion experts do suggest trying a Flared Jean as they are flattering for most body styles and are easy to dress up or to keep your look cool and casual.
#3: Classic Trench - Think of it as an investment piece. You'll wear it forever and it will never go out of style! Plus, even if you gain weight, it will still be a functioning piece of your wardrobe. Look for a classy A-line silhouette that will cinch you in at the waist. You can wear it over everything, including suits or jeans.
#4: The LBD - The perfect little black dress is something that every woman dreams about, even if she doesn't want to own up to it. It's important to invest in one that is special to you! Look for a dress with a detail, special sleeve, embellished neckline or exquisite belt to make it stand out. And remember that the most important thing above all else is the fit! Don't buy something simply because you like the look, make sure that it really fits you as well.
#5: Classic dress pants - You know the ones I am talking about. The black, or navy blue, wide-legged dress pants that fall off your butt and making it look perfect! Need I say more?!
#6: Classic white shirt - Whether you like to wear white or not, a classic white shirt is a must for any woman's fashion collection. You might not be able to picture a time in your life where this item would be your go to shirt but trust me, it never hurts to have one and you will wear it more then you would think.
#7: The ideal skirt - For that last minute professional look on the go a classically shaped skirt can help you get ready in a pinch! Pair it with your classic white shirt and your tailored blazer and you are ready to take on the world! One thing to keep in mind, make sure the skirt is age appropriate (length) and will fit with your lifestyle (cooky owls on a lawyer might not look quite right).
#8: The day dress - This is one of the items I tend to argue with, as I am not much of a dress wearer, but it does stand to reason that it would come in handy to have one standing by in your closet for that last minute baby shower, special date, surprise casual meeting and so on. I guess it never hurts to be prepared!
#9: A cashmere sweater - Designers love cashmere for its pure luxury; you'll love the cozy softness and classic elegance. Look for timeless styles that you can wear every winter to stretch your budget (cashmere may be everywhere, but it isn't cheap) or splurge with trendy looks for extra pampering. Pure cashmere a little to rich for your blood? That's ok too, try a cashmere blend to make that cash stretch!
#10: A comfortable alternative to the sweat suit - No one wants to be caught running around town in stained up sweats. This is when a comfy alternative would be the perfect thing to grab out of the closet! It doesn't have to be covered in bling but a little extra sparkle never hurts.
Versatile and timeless pieces that can work for almost any occasion, sounds a little boring doesn't it? Well once you have your staples, that is when the fun begins and you can start personalizing your wardrobe with fashion scarves, brightly colored flats, statement jewelry and fun alternatives to the classic pieces. Happy shopping!

Reliability-Centered Lubrication: Part III
Instructor: Mike Johnson, Principal Consultant, Advanced Machine Reliability Resources Inc.
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
The Reliability Centered Lubrication concept is an essential part of reliability management. Lubricant condition and contamination control, for both oil and grease components, is perhaps the one area that persistently evades management effort, but upon which hinges an improved component lifecycle.
In order to manage contamination challenges, it is essential to a) set the correct cleanliness objective, b) create an accurate method, which allows you to quickly and consistently measure progress. Sample collection and oil analysis is the control loop that tells the reliability engineer if the program is working according to plan.
Lastly, it is vital to have the right tools for lubrication program information management. There is too much at stake to be content with a pencil, note pad and post-it notes handed back and forth. The system should support consumption tracking, task completion and re-schedule, and outage work requirements.

BLACKBERRY, Ky. - When Katie Compton was four years old, she was unable to walk, was unfamiliar with a toothbrush or toilet, and spoke few words in English.
Last week, the nine-year-old won an award for her essay "How I will change the world after college."
The story of how the Compton family came together and triumphed over challenges is a remarkable testament of the power of family, hard work and what Katie's mother Angie says was the voice of God.
Five years ago, Angie and Tolby Compton were the parents of a daughter, Scarlett, who had been adopted from China. When a friend of Angie's was in the process of adopting a special needs boy from China, Angie went to the website to look at the friend's child, and saw Katie's picture.
"I know a lot of people might not believe this," Angie said. "But I heard God say, 'That's your daughter.'"
The family, which was living in South Carolina at the time, wrote a petition for adoption. Thanks to some well placed friends, the adoption process was expedited, and, Angie said, "Eight months later we were in Nancheng, China, getting Katie."
The orphanage director told the Comptons their daughter had been abandoned with her umbilical cord still attached and left at the gate of their facility and was found by a worker there. Katie couldn't walk, she had not received any medical treatment in China. While her diagnosis was never pinpointed, cerebral palsy and polio were both blamed for her condition. By then, the family had moved to Pittsburgh, where Katie had corrective surgery.
Angie said that while her daughters are immersed in American culture, the family also remembers their Chinese roots.
"We recognize Chinese New Year, and when we were in Pittsburgh, we visited the Dragon Boat," she said. "But there isn't a lot locally for us to do, this is not a multi-cultural area."
Angie explained that Katie's Chinese name is Hong Zhu.
"We kept her name as a middle name," Angie said. "It is very important to her because it is the only thing she ever had before coming home with us. There was a rainbow the morning they found her and this named her for the rainbow. The name Hong means brilliant and Zhu means full of life. We know now this name aptly suits her."
But, the girls are blessed with family. Angie's parents live in Blackberry, the girls' paternal grandparents are from Pikeville. In addition to Katie and Scarlett, there are four brothers in the household, Dustin, Brandon, Colin and Lance.
When the Comptons adopted Katie's sister Scarlett, she was just an infant.
"She cried in Chinese," Angie said, laughing. But there was no language barrier, which there was with Katie. "She knew a few words in English, 'hello' and 'goodbye.' We learned bathroom quickly!"
Not only did Katie master English, she recently was one of only three winners statewide in the Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust (KESPT) "Dream Out Loud Challenge."
The Challenge invited kindergarten-sixth grade students to submit an original drawing, poem, video or essay answering the question, "How will I change the world after college?"
The contest was judged by a panel that included authors, poets, artists and representatives from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) and Tuition Financing, Inc.
Ten essays were selected from 1,600 received from all across the state, said David Lawhorn, KESPT Advisor for KHEAA, and Katie's was chosen as the best from those ten. Katie won $1,500 and $500 went to her school, Blackberry Elementary.
Angie said Katie understands how fortunate she is, and that she sees adoption as a blessing.
"She asked me a couple of years ago why more people didn't try to be like God," Angie said. "I told her that we do and she replied , no she didn't think so because she would see more people adopting. I didn't really know what to say to her. She then said well we are all Gods children and we are supposed to help. She also says she is going to adopt when she grows up."
Katie's winning essay is as follows:
How will I change the world after I go to college?
By Katie Hongzhu Compton
I will change the world after I go to college. I will study hard over the years and learn new languages. I will meet my goals and make all my dreams come true when I become a doctor.
I will study medicine and be a doctor. I know I will change the world because I understand life is different in other countries. Not everyone in the world has what we have in America. I was born in Nancheng, China and left at an orphanage. My parents came from America and adopted me when I was four years old. They brought me to the United States to live. I had cerebral palsy and needed a special surgery to help me walk. In China they did not give me medical care that I needed so it is my dream to help other children who need medicine.
As a doctor I will start a program that helps orphans from all countries. This program will give them the medical care they do not get. My group of doctors will travel together to all the different countries. We will visit the children there and give them free medical exams. If there are one who need surgery we will get them their operation. My group of doctors will also get money donated for things they might need to help them live a better life. Some children need wheelchairs, braces, walkers or other special orthopedic things. This would help children like me get around better.
My team of doctors would also check each child to see if they get good nutrition. Nutrition is important for children's bones and teeth. As a doctor I will be able to check their blood to see if they are getting all the vitamins for a healthy life.
By starting a program to help orphaned children I will change the world. The children I can help will know our world is a wonderful place and people do care. They will know our world has love.

The last SK item I purchased was the Carrie 3-movie DVD set at Walmart. It has all 3 films: Carrie, The Rage: Carrie 2 and Carrie [NBC TV re-make]. I put this on my bookcase next to my Carrie Special Edition DVDs [one with the holographic slip cover and one without] and my VHS.
Apt Pupil,dvd.I ordered it today
I just bought a hard back of Hearts in Atlantis and a copy of Cycle of the Werewolf yesterday.
I ordered the DVD of Nightmares and Dreamscapes yesterday
I am very excited as I have not see any of them yet.
UR and The Eyes of the Dragon for Kindle.
I finally picked up the gift edition of "Desperation" from Grant. It's a beautiful book and I'm thrilled that I picked this up.
The library here had a sale today and I bought the first four DT books from Plume, paperbacks with the artwork inside ( like the one showed here...
Attachment 13155 )...ALL of them never read, they still smell like new...for the unbelievable price of 14 Canadian bucks TOTAL.
Almost passed out at this opportunity, still can`t believe it..
Then, as I was walking back home, I stopped by some used book store and found an original first edition of Thinner, published in 1984, hard-cover, with the picture of " Richard Bachman "...in near mint condition, read maybe only once.
NO mention of SK anywhere...for the astonishing price of just five bucks.
Never even seen a "real" Bachman book where there is no mention of SK and now I know what RB looked liked before he died of cancer.
Attachment 13156
Man, did these purchases ever made my day...
Wow, just noticed...payed EXACTLY 19 bucks total for the books...spooky....
Well, I guess mine would have to be The Treasury of American Horror Stories, thanks to the good folks on this board that helped me figure out which book it was!

There are currently 11 new homes under construction within DeBordieu Colony near Georgetown.
Compared to six homes completed in 2013, the increase in construction is a good sign for the local and state economy, said Bill Crowther, executive director for the Alliance for Economic Development for Georgetown County.
"An increase in building is a great thing for economic development in the area," Crowther said.
"The economic impact will trickle down to everybody involved, including suppliers of materials and construction companies."
Hampton Peace, broker-in-charge for DeBordieu Colony Real Estate, Inc. agreed, adding that it will also be important for the DeBordieu Colony community.
"The construction of more homes in DeBordieu bodes well for our community for a number of different reasons," Peace said.
"Having more residents, whether primary or as second home owners, is a good thing from a DeBordieu Club perspective."
DeBordieu Colony is home to the private DeBordieu Club, the social center of the community, and includes an oceanfront beach club, an 18-hole private Pete & P.B. Dye designed golf course, golf clubhouse, and tennis center, Peace said.
"More members and guests enhance the atmosphere and membership experience," he added.
Peace said expanding the number of DeBordieu residences generally means more people will be visiting the DeBordieu community as both owners and guests.
"Owner and guest referrals usually account for a majority of all real estate sales within our community," Peace said.
"I am hoping the construction of more homes will lead to an even higher level of real estate activity."
DeBordieu has had vibrant construction activity for most of its history, Peace said.
"DeBordieu homes are an eclectic mix of architectural styles, come in a great variety of sizes, and obviously span the entire 40-plus year history of the community age-wise," Peace said. "No one can ever say our community is outdated or reminds them of a particular era."
He said that although DeBordieu has higher prices on average than other areas of the Waccamaw Neck, "exclusivity isn't necessarily based upon price or value."
"Our exclusivity comes from many sources, but primarily it is derived from the limited availability of property within DeBordieu Colony and the limited opportunities for joining DeBordieu Club," Peace said.
"Having a great place to live and play with direct access to the ocean, the North Inlet estuary, and excellent private club facilities, all found behind a very secure privacy gate is pretty appealing to just about anyone."
DeBordieu Colony is limited to only 1250 properties on 2700 acres.
It still has over 300 unimproved homesites in private hands.
"I don't think that type of inventory exists anywhere else along this portion of our coast," Peace said.
"More people are building at DeBordieu because it truly is something special and very unique."
He said over the last five years, 57 homes have been constructed within the private coastal community.
The recent downturn in the real estate market affected DeBordieu as it did real estate everywhere. "The upside to that is our properties suddenly became much more affordable to a new generation of purchasers and the more experienced buyers saw how relatively well DeBordieu values held up overall throughout the recession when compared with other neighborhoods," Peace said.

healthiest kids on the block because of all the gluten free homemade food I feed her.
Today, the doctor asked me if she had a flu shot and I I told him she hadn't gotten one. And he said "That's okay, I had four people with the flu yesterday who had gotten the flu shot." Then he said something about Tamiflu and when I explained why we were not interested he said "They think it doesn't work anyway." He said it half jokingly and I have no idea if he was serious or kidding, but I did appreciate his honesty and skepticism.
After a bunch of testing the doctor relaxed and said it was a virus-- not the flu or a scary bacterial infection--and that she should just rest. We are lying in bed now and she is on my laptop on disney.com. Every once in a while she asks me for a cold washcloth. I did give her some infant Motrin for her terrible back pain, despite my being vehemently against all medicine. And although she is sick, it all feels very normal and somehow okay from the vantage point of my comfortable bed. And it reminds me again, of how parenting turns all my ideas and theories upside down and inside out.

Ex-Navy SEALs benefit from chiropractic care
(NewsUSA) - If you saw the movie "Black Hawk Down," you already know what happened to the soldiers on that mission-gone-bad to capture Somali warlords. Eighteen of them died that day in 1993, and more than 70 others were injured.
One of those hurt -- then-Navy SEAL Howard Wasdin -- was in such pain, for so long after retiring, that he sought the kind of medical help only now becoming increasingly available in the military.
"After being shot in the Battle of Mogadishu, a friend advised me to go to a chiropractor," says Wasdin, author of the NY Times best-seller "SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper." "Three adjustments later, I was sleeping through the night with no neck pain and walking without a limp."
Ready for the neat twist to his story? So inspired was Wasdin by his own care that today he, himself, is a chiropractor -- as well as an avid supporter of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.
"It took a chiropractor to give me back my quality of life," he says. "Today, my mission is to share the importance of chiropractic with the public, so more patients are able to get the care they need."

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
Bruce Willis stars in this sci-fi thriller set in a near future where hardly anyone interfaces directly with another human being anymore. Instead, they live their lives through robots known as surrogates, or "surries" for short, who look like attractive humans in the prime of life. However trouble eventually arises when two people die because their surrogates are catastrophically damaged, which is supposed to be impossible. That's when FBI agent Greer (Willis) swings into action, suspecting immediately the nonconformists who reject surrogacy and live on reservations.

I always look forward to the Capital Classic basketball game at the Charleston Civic Center between West Virginia and Marshall.
After all, it is the closest WVU comes to our area for a basketball game. It's much easier to drive to Huntington to see the Herd than it is to drive to Morgantown to watch the Mountaineers.
It is typically a very competitive contest between the state's two largest universities and we all know it's a heated rivalry.
My son Matt usually tags along with me. It's a tradition for us and I look forward to that.
During the game I like to watch Mountaineer head coach Bob Huggins work the officials. Watching Huggs alone is entertaining.
It is also good to see former Williamson High School head coach Mark Cline, who is now an assistant at Marshall. Cline has done a good job for the Thundering Herd and is the chief recruiter for head coach Tom Herrion. He has brought in some good talent from across the country to Huntington.
There is always a huge crowd for the game and I usually see some local fans at the classic.
Some people were upset that the game was moved from mid-season to early December, but not me. For one thing, the weather is warmer now and you don't have to worry as much about snow or cold like you do in late January or early February.
In the past, the game was smack dab in the middle of conference play for both teams. They played it during the legislative session, which was tailored toward those politicians. But the game is about the fans and the players.
It is especially better for the teams. Marshall could have to play the game after or before a trip to places like Houston or Tulane. Now WVU may have had to play the game after long plane rides to Oklahoma or Texas.
The basketball rivalry between Marshall and WVU is good for the state.
Congratulations to Mingo Central's Austin Banks and Mitch Bobbera for making the honorable mention list on the sportswriters Class AA-A soccer team. The sport is new to the consolidated school, but they have already made great strides. Both of these players, along with others, did very well this past fall.
… Big Red Madness is scheduled for Friday night at the Belfry High School gym. See the story on this page for more details.

I was sitting in a surgery waiting room Monday, listening to a taped interview via pink ear buds and making notes on my "laptop" – aka – a small paper notebook. The woman next to me tapped me on the shoulder saying I was wanted on the phone.
Unplugging myself, I learned Jim's new knee had been successfully installed and he'd be in recovery for about an hour. I thanked my seat mate, Doris, for getting my attention. She had just heard good news about her husband's procedure and we began chatting our way through the next waiting period.
She said she was glad I had something totally absorbing to take my mind off the surgery and added that her favorite method of overcoming stress was playing bridge – especially online. Technically challenged as I am, as well as not being a bridge player, I didn't know such a thing existed. But I was fascinated and wanted to learn more
Doris told me internet bridge was not only a life saver for her – but also a life enhancer. She was introduced to it in 2003 by her daughter who thought it would help her then homebound mother through an illness recovery. Doris was a lifetime bridge player, so this was a perfect prescription.
"There are a lot of bridge sites out there but I began with a Yahoo bridge 'lounge,' learning how it worked and entering at the social level," she told me. Players pick an alias and initially find same-skill partners and begin their games. After a while Doris found she was playing with the same three people and they were all enjoying it. For a long time they remained anonymous except for those aliases.
After several months they shared first names and then found they were all on the east coast. Three years later they decided to meet – in neutral territory – Washington, D.C.
Since that trip to the nation's capitol, these bridge players have also met in Maine, New Hampshire, Boston, Baltimore, Atlantic City and Charleston, Doris' own Low Country area. They play bridge wherever they ago. They gather twice a year, in the spring and the fall and their next trip is planned for Savannah All the women in her bridge group still belong to clubs in their hometowns. And they still play with each other frequently online.
"We don't play every day," Doris laughed, "but we know each other so well now we can message back and forth and see if a particular day or time is convenient and then arrange the game."
On researching, I found dozens of bridge lounges. Some are free, some are subscription based. Many feature partnership bidding and/or teaching rooms. You can play money bridge or earn master points. Kibitzing is recommended by some as a way to familiarize yourself with how the systems work. Levels range from social through intermediate to expert.
"We're all intermediate players and we all love the game and they're all better than me," says Doris. (From her enthusiastic game descriptions, I doubt the latter.) Aside from friendships, she likes best the opportunity to visit different places and see what's available to enjoy in other states.. That initial first bid online, she says, has eased her way through many life challenges as well as giving her some of her most memorable times.
Sounds like a grand slam all 'round!

Look. If you want to root for the Miami Heat and Lebron James, go right ahead. If you want to pretend that a man worth hundreds of millions of dollars who receives untold adulation and material compensation beyond the wildest dreams of Craesus because of his affinity for putting an inflated bit of leather through a metal hoop is somehow worthy of pitying, party on. If it's important to your purpose in life to act as though a fanbase that won a championship all of five years ago and can't be bothered to consistently fill the arena is somehow long suffering, gravy. Do it up, buttercup.
But this is simply true: you are nothing like the only person rooting for the Miami Heat or Lebron James! I don't even believe you're in the minority by rooting for the Miami Heat or Lebron James. This constant pose, from literally hundreds (hundreds!) of sports writers, bloggers, pundits, and talking heads that they are the only people in the world rooting for the Heat or Lebron James is the most asinine, self-serving, demonstrably untrue stance I can imagine. I get it: you want to be an iconoclast. I get it: you want to show your independence and that you're better than the average basketball fan. I get it: it is always easier to argue that Straw Man X is bad than to prosecute an actual affirmative argument of your own. But surely the idea that you are the only person arguing in favor of the Heat or Lebron is undone by all the other people arguing that they are the only person arguing in favor of the Heat or Lebron. I'm inspired to write this by this Slate piece by Robert Weintraub, which is the nadir of this pathetic little subgenre-- yes, Robert, we get it, you are so much more advanced than everyone else, because you are celebrating the success of tall men running back and forth on hardwood-- but really, I could pick any of dozens, hundreds of identical arguments.
Does Google not exist? Do you all write in total ignorance of the broader context? Is there no time when you think to yourself, perhaps I should check and see if anyone else is voicing this argument that I am insisting no one else is voicing? Did you not think to perform a reality check? Are there no standards anymore?
Just look at ESPN and you will find a host of writers and analysts who have defended and rationalized the Heat, Lebron, and "The Decision" since the very day it aired. Who was ESPN's chief analyst and reporter on all of this? Chris Broussard, a paid-in-full member of the athlete worship school of journalism and devout Heat defender. The airwaves were filled from day one with analysts taking the side of Miami. There's no way to be sure, but I'm quite convinced that there have been more on-air personalities supporting Lebron and the Heat than criticizing them on ESPN. The website is just as bad, where the Daily Dime Live crew never misses an opportunity to root for whatever team is the most filled with celebrity, the most generative of spectacle, and the most conducive to hype. And ESPN has found in Henry Abbot (TrueHoop) a one stop apology shop for Lebron James and the Heat, as Abbot has taken defending them to previously unseen levels of hectoring and bullying, as he rails piously from his position of power at the dominant sports media company. Look around before you write.
Like Lebron and the Heat? Cool. Say so all you want. But please, recognize that you are one of literally millions of people who share that condition. Stop the phony contrarianism. It's so tiring.
cordially yours,

I was thinking the same thing. When I was a kid I was convinced if I wasn't there to watch the game my team would lose. Maybe we've just been brainwashed to think our support is vital to the players who have absolutely no idea we exist.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is the latest iteration in one of the most popular game franchises in the world, so it's only fitting that Activision's shooter has become the center of a big discussion of how Microsoft's Microsoft's Xbox One stacks up to Sony's Sony's PS4. The PS4 version runs at a native 1080p, and the Xbox One version runs at 720p upsacled to 1080, which may point to real differences in the power of these two consoles.
The other day, Infinity Ward's Mark Rubin explained that the Xbox One version had to stay at 720p to keep the game running at the crucial 60 frames per second. Now, it appears that the PS4 version, which does run at 1080p native, is having a hard time keeping the frame rate up. Nearly every reviewer who has talked about the PS4 version describes some kind of frame rate failure. Here are a few examples:
Polygon: "Much has been said about the fact that the PlayStation 4 version of the game runs at a native 1080p, and while that may be true, the game did struggle to maintain a steady frame rate, especially in hectic multiplayer matches. The PS3 version of the game ran into similar problems, whereas the Xbox 360 version maintained a steady 60 frames per second."
IGN: "On the current-gen versions Ghosts looks nearly identical, though I did encounter occasional framerate issues during the single-player campaign on PS3 and PS4."
Joystiq: "A key pillar of the Call of Duty experience has always been rock-solid 60 frames per seconds gameplay. On Xbox 360, Ghosts maintains this mandate. The PlayStation 4 version, however, has noticeable technical issues, sometimes slowing to a crawl, particularly during set-piece moments with multiple effects. One specific moment I was able to replicate multiple times on PS4 was a campaign scene that ran smoothly on Xbox 360 and PS3, while the game chugged On PlayStation 4. These frame rate hitches happen throughout the campaign on PS4 and, in a series known for its Hollywood-inspired bombast, it detracted from the experience."
They say that there was no lag noticeable on Xbox 360, but Xbox One reviews are embargoed until Nov. 12. So far, I haven't noticed any slowdown on the Xbox 360 version, but that isn't particularly relevant.
I'll say the same thing I did when it was the Xbox One that looked bad in these comparisons — I really don't think this matters. This is a cross-gen, cross-platform game coming out at the very beginning of both of these consoles. Developers will be figuring out this hardware for years to come, and getting better in the process. I wouldn't look to a game also out on previous-gen for hard optimization and benchmarking evidence.
It's entirely possible that we'll end up noticing a marked difference in graphics quality on exclusive games as these consoles mature — you could already see that with some of the great-looking games released towards the end of the PS3 lifespan. But on the whole, I don't think that this console generation will be fought on this sort of particular scale. The differences are bound to be minor enough that most gamers won't notice.
Frame rate aside, most of the reviews are fairly middling. I'm just a few missions in and perfectly pleased so far, but we'll see.

If you want a drink, you want a drink, and all the bad press you read isn't likely to quench your thirst. So the Nutrition 911 on alcohol will be to skip the boring science and discuss what to do when you're going to drink. Besides, studies keep telling us that a bit of alcohol in your diet enhances your health and lengthens your life span. All you may know now is that the last time you hit the bar, you woke up feeling like someone was using a rototiller on your brain, leaving you to wonder, "How can this have been good for me?"
The truth is it isn't. A hangover means you've done damage that needs to be reversed. Unfortunately, a common remedy is a greasy meal, which further damages your system and hinders your weight loss plans. But there's no doubt that a drink every now and then can help lift your spirits and diminish stress. But all cocktails are not created equal. Just like making smart choices with the foods you eat, imbibing with a plan can be the difference between extending your life and maintaining your
Slim in 6®, or
ChaLEAN Extreme® results, and getting to know your Domino's delivery guy on a first-name basis. Let's get started, class, with this week's Nutrition 911: The Best and Worst Cocktails.

After spending several hours a day at a desk job or sitting in traffic while shuttling overscheduled kids from one activity to the next, it's tempting for families to want to spend their downtime plopped on the couch. The next time you find yourself with an hour or so of unscheduled free time, grab the kids and get moving. Research shows that families that work out together are more likely to stick with it, since they can motivate and encourage each other. And exercising as a family has multiple benefits, from being able to spend quality time with those you love and committing to an active lifestyle, to reducing stress and increasing energy levels. But you don't have to call it exercise. Here are six activities that let families play together, and promote fit and healthy lifestyles.

"You forgot to mention that hooping has made a comeback in the past few years. There are now a lot of adult-sized hoops available so that you can get in on the action even though you're older and bigger, and it's a really great workout, both cardiovascular and especially for the core, arms, and back. You can incorporate all sorts of different moves using different body parts into beautiful hoopdances, too."

"I really enjoyed your article. I am just beginning the third week of P90X and it answered many questions I have had regarding alcohol consumption. As an avid homebrewer I have only one nit to pick. When talking about the ingredients in well-made European and microbrewed beer you left out the single most important ingredient of all...yeast. Brewer's yeast is chockfull of vitamins and is the magic catalyst for producing interesting and flavorable beer."

Successful businessman Phil Waterford has much a lot to be thankful for - including a very prosperous auto dealership, Manteca Ford and Exotic High Line. He will tell you that the true key to his success is his unwavering faith in God, his love for his family, his hard work, and the selfless way he gives back to his community. In recent years, Waterford has taken part in Manteca's annual Memorial Day event, "Not Forgotten," thrown a Christmas Eve breakfast for the entire community that fed hundreds of local residents, helped numerous foster children, raised funds for a sweet little ...
Hardin Fultcher III was born on November 23, 1965 to proud parents Hardin Fultcher, Jr. and Barbara Villadores-Fultcher.
Four enthusiastic elementary students from Great Valley Academy Charter School in Manteca met with Phil Waterford a week ago seeking sponsorship for their new school. These energetic students came to Phil when he was inundated with business matters and important meetings. His business manager, Valerie Wallace and office assistant, Sarah McDaniel, met with the students. After hearing their compelling story, his office staff felt that Phil Waterford's Manteca Ford should try to find a way to offer assistance.
Johnny Umipeg started in the automobile industry in 1968 as a sales representative at Knapp Ford. He graduated from Manteca High School in 1963, and continued his education at San Joaquin Delta College. Umipeg is a proud U.S. Air Force veteran who served 4 years in Southeast Asia.
Manteca Ford will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every person that comes in and takes a test drive from Friday, Oct.5, through Sunday, Oct. 14. An additional $100 will be donated for each vehicle sold.

Women all around the world play up their eyes by adding color to their upper and lower eyelids. But how much do you know about eye shadow? Read on to learn about the makeup of this very basic makeup.
Made in the Shade: Eye Shadow Ingredients
Eye shadow formulations start with a base filler. Cosmetics-grade talc or mica are the go-to filler ingredients, but some formulas include kaolin clay, says cosmetics chemist Jane Hollenberg, director of JCH Consulting in Red Hook, N.Y.
In a Bind: How Eye Shadow Stays On
Binders are essential to ensure the powder will adhere to skin. The most common binders are derivatives of zinc or magnesium. In addition to pigment, some manufacturers add silica, nylon, dimethicone, boron nitride (a ceramic material), or bismuth oxychloride for "slip" so the powder slides more easily over the lid. And a bit of preservative like glycol (a type of alcohol) or tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) helps prevent bacterial growth.
Greek Life: Eye Shadow From Gem Stones
In ancient Greece, eye shadow was known as fucus and tended to be greens and blues made from lapis lazuli and malachite. Greek women wore the shades and exported them to share with the rest of the world.
Long-Lasting: Eye Shadow Creams
The big difference between a cream and a powder shadow is waxes and oils in the base. Beeswax, castor oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, and silicone are among the options for liquefying a standard shadow. Once the wax or oil dries, the pigment tends to wear longer due to the way the ingredients bond with the skin.
Fast Break: Which Eye Shadows Crumble Fastest
Before you pack your favorite shadow, consider which are more likely to crumble in your bag: Frosted shades, violets, and blues are difficult to compress into cakes and break more easily. Matte shadows are more likely to hold together.
All That Glitters: Irritating Eye Shadows
Do some eye shadows irritate your skin? Large particles in shadow that can cause abrasion are the most common culprits, Hollenberg says. If you have any sensitivities, stay away from glittery shadows.
How to Apply Eye Shadow Correctly
Napoleon Perdis, celebrity makeup artist and creator of NP Set cosmetics, offers his secret for shadow application: To minimize the mess of shadow application, use a firm, small brush rather than a fluffy brush. The stiffer bristles help keep color in place. And always apply mascara first.

M Is for Magic (Paperback)
Master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a breathtaking collection of tales for younger readers that may chill or amuse, but that always embrace the unexpected:
- Humpty Dumpty's sister hires a private detective to investigate her brother's death.
- A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
- A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery, and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.
About the Author
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was born in Bombay, India, but raised in England until he returned to India in 1881 as a journalist and local newspaper editor. In 1907 Kipling became the first English writer to win the Nobel Prize for literature. A poet and prolific short story writer, he is best known as the author of The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1902), and Just So Stories (1902).
Neil Gaiman has written award-winning books for children and adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning novel The Graveyard Book and Coraline, Stardust, and Odd and the Frost Giants. His picture books include Instructions and Blueberry Girl, illustrated by Charles Vess; The Wolves in the Walls, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, and Crazy Hair, illustrated by Dave McKean; and The Dangerous Alphabet, illustrated by Gris Grimly. A baby giant panda once sat on his lap and ate bamboo in Chengdu, China.

Warning: This tip is only for Gmail users outside US.
Google says that the latest Gmail feature that allows you to make phone calls is only available in the US, but that's not true. If you set Gmail's interface language to English (US), you should see the "Call phone" option in the chat roster. You can also buy credit using Google Checkout.
If you're not in the US and you want to add credit to your account, make sure that you DON'T CLICK the "Upgrade your account" button from Google Voice. This feature is only useful if you are in the US, since it lets you get a Google Voice number. Unfortunately, if you click on that button and you're not in the US, you'll no longer be able to buy credit.
Here's what you'll see after clicking on "Upgrade your account":
I don't think there's a way to downgrade your account, so the best thing to do is to avoid clicking that button. Google could easily solve this problem by hiding the button for non-US users or by allowing users to stop the upgrade.
Update. You can cancel the upgrade if you use a US proxy (try UltraSurf if you use Windows).
Update 2. A Google spokesperson said: "We're looking into this and will keep you updated."

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves used two goals from left wing Brett Sterling to earn their fourth straight victory 4-1 over the Texas Stars Wednesday night at the Allstate Arena.
Goaltender Matt Climie went more than 58 minutes without allowing a goal to run his shutout streak to a franchise-record 173 minutes and 57 seconds. His streak surpassed Kari Lehtonen's 170-minute, 54-second run set in 2004.
Forwards Stefan Schneider and Michael Davies added insurance goals for the Wolves (18-12-3-2), who wore their commemorative Military Appreciation jerseys for the first of three consecutive games.
"Sometimes you need to rely on your veterans to step up and carry the team," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "Matty played outstanding tonight and Sterling did what he does and that is score goals."
Chicago opened scoring when Sterling stripped a Stars defensemen at the side of the net and backhanded a shot through the legs of Texas goaltender Jack Campbell at 6:11 of the second period. Darren Haydar earned his fifth assist in the last four games on the play.
Sterling's second of the night came 3:05 into the third period when he was sprung in the Stars zone on a one-on-one break and he snapped a quick wrister from the far dot over Campbell's blocker. With that marker, Sterling moved into second place on the Wolves all-time goal register with 158 markers. Defenseman John Negrin picked up his first Wolves assist.
Schneider increased the Wolves lead to 3-0 when he stick-handled through the slot and flipped a shot under the cross bar and past Campbell at 12:32. Forward Trent Daavettila posted the assist in his Wolves debut.
Campbell (6-5-2) kicked out 25 shots for the Stars.
Texas (22-12-3-2) ended Climie's (10-11-1) bid for his second straight shutout when left wing Matt Fraser collected a puck that bounced off a Wolves defender and tucked it over the goal line.
Davies bagged an empty-net tally at 19:18 of the third period to close out scoring.
The Wolves and Stars will battle in a rematch at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18, at the Allstate Arena. For tickets, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.
