This category is ridiculous. I mean, obviously Taylor needs to win because no-one looks better without a shirt than him but still… ridiculous.
They'll probably force him to show up because he'll win.. can't wait to hear that acceptance speech.. 'Yeah I know I'm hot, thanks guys'.
Kinda cool this is the last one and the only thing that gets nominated is Taylor's shirtlessness. The only thing that Twilight will be remembered for… Taylor Lautner's hotness.
I wonder if they'll do a 'Best Kiss' thing and make him take his shirt off on stage. I hope not.. my poor baby.. that would be painful.

Olivia—-How ironic huh?? How is it that Taylor ends up being the most memorable from the whole Twilight franchise?? Heeheee!!! TEAM Jacob fans have been knowing that for years! lol! ^_^
Oh gosh…I hope they DON'T make him take off his shirt on stage lol! Something tells me Taylor would be way too embarrassed to do that lol. He has never done it or even "faked" doing that for TV show talk show interviews….although he's been asked quite a few times lol! :)
Taylor should win :) Who is he even up against this year? Is this a new category? I mean, seriously?? Or is this something they've always had on the MTV Movie Awards??

Mystique…He is up against Christian Bale- The Dark Knight Rises
Daniel Craig-Skyfall
Seth MacFarlane-Ted
Channing Tatum-Magic Mike
I'd rather Taylor be filming something and Ted win.

Marianne—Wow! That's a pretty impressive collection of shirtless guys!! Lol :) All of which, I thoroughly enjoyed lol.
But yea I agree…..I'd rather Daniel Craig, or Channing Tatum win, and Taylor can just go there in peace and let that franchise die a slow death lol. I really think he wants to be considered a more serious actor, and its kinda hard to do if all critics remember you as is the hot guy with the abs.

Maybe MTV will give the Twi-Cast a tribute or some kind of special award.

The timing of this is suspect. After all these years ….now they want to add a shirtless category. Tay has clearly stated that he wants to move on from that….so why would they nominate him for something he no longer wants to be associated with. Like I said before I don't trust MTV's motives when it pertains to Tay.
If they truly want to show appreciation for his abs………which is fine by me………why not just give him an honorary award…………and leave the competition between the others. That would make more sense.
annie Says:

@chanda there is no room for appreciation – they don't care what you did for them in the past., it's what are you going to do for me today! These shows are all about getting sponsors to sign on which will be dependent on how large an audience they can draw (tv viewership), If they don't draw a large enough audience, they lose their sponsorship because not enough people will see the commercials. The Twilight cast made their ratings high and in return Twilight promoted their movies . But Twilight is done – they have nothing more to promote – so the studios aren't involved. This would have been done on an individual basis. They realize they are going to lose a good chunk of their audience – so their hope was to get the trio to be involved somehow. R & P have new projects but everyone knew they were through with Twilight. & they have other baggage. So that left Taylor, now he seems to be leading us up to some type of announcement, this keeps him in the eyes of the fans and MTV will get a bump in their ratings and he does have GU2; so I'm saying he will show up in some capacity , in a skit or as a presenter and if he doesn't want to go through the shirtless deal – he will lose – but would anybody be upset over that -NO. we just want to see him. Everyone involved has something to promote – the winners – the presenters – and MTV. MTV promotes itself and gets revenue from the commercials, the participants are pimping their movie, or song, or tv show. These shows are basically a fun thing – does getting a golden popcorn really mean a whole lot…NO…unless your 10…it's just entertainment.

Chanda—-Hmmmm….interesting Chanda. I never knew MTV to have this reputation before when it came to Taylor. I guess I just never really paid attention to it much! But you're right, they HAVE had some pretty weird things happen before on the show, and they like to pick on him a lot. Last year though, I thought it was pretty decent. The whole cast came on stage, and Taylor got to say quite a bit of "thank you's" on stage.
But I will pay closer attention this year!
I'll just be glad to see him at an award's show again! Although I wish it weren't MTV (MTV likes to push the envelope a little TOO much for MY personal taste), I would like if they would show some scenes from GU2 or something like that lol.
Annie—-You know what, I think you're right. MTV knows they're losing a HUGE chunk of their viewers due to the end of Twilight, and so far….another franchise/movie hasn't really taken its place yet. So…… Idk…it just looks like a desperate attempt from MTV to get viewers…that's why they added this "new category". Lol… Silly Rabbits!! ROTFL!! :D
Emily Says:
March 7th, 2013 at 3:52 pm
chanda– I agree with you about not trusting MTV where Taylor is concerned. They used the heck out of him when Twilight was huge–the skit he and Rob did with Tom Cruise, and Taylor opening the show the next year with Jason Sudeikis (sp?). The Rob kiss was it for me. It looked like R & K were in on the joke, but I didn't find it one bit funny. Like Taylor needed any more ammunition for the "he's gay" idiots—and why, by the way, do they not jump on Rob?? He initiated it and acts much more feminine to me–whatever. Then, last year, they ask him to do the interview with Josh Horowitz and then completely ignore him, cut him out of nearly every camera shot, then give him that smart-a$# t-shirt at the end.
Mystique– I agree that MTV pushes the envelope too much, and this year, with Rebel Wilson hosting, I'm sure it will go even farther. It's like nothing is sacred anymore and the ONLY reason I will be watching is to maybe catch a glimpse of Taylor. I am pretty much 100% sure he won't be disrobing, whether he wins or loses the award. I think it's a cheap tactic for ratings, b/c they know nobody really cares anymore and the biggest chunk of their audience will probably be boycotting the show b/c the "perfect couple" was ignored.
Mystique Says:
March 7th, 2013 at 6:52 pm
Emily—Lol, I actually thought that the "Rob kiss" was pretty funny lol. It just seemed silly…..like an amusing prank among friends. But yea you're right though, the gay rumors that ensued from that "kiss" prank just ignited all over online. I don't get it either! Rob was the one who kissed HIM!! Not only that, but ROB is the one always talking about Taylor's bum, or his nipples lol…. Yet Taylor's the one who gets the gay rumors?? Like seriously? O_o Rob has had his fair share of gay rumors too, but not as much as Taylor. I think some ppl just want him to.be gay lol…..I mean, he IS irresistible and all lol.
Anyway, I think he took the prank in good stride. I don't even think it phased him much at all really. I didn't see the interview with Josh…..what year was that? Maybe I missed the show that year or smthg. What happened? What was the deal with the t-shirt?
I'm just watching for Taylor…..I cant stand MTV anymore these days. They just go too far! From the VMA's to the reality ahows…..it's just too much! :-/
Anyway, I'll probably be posting my thoughts here during the show lol. :)
Emily Says:
March 7th, 2013 at 7:47 pm
Mystique–You're right–I don't think Taylor was really phased by the prank, it just made ME mad! :) The interview with Josh was last year for BD1. It was just the three of them. Taylor was virtually ignored during the whole thing. Josh gave all three of them t-shirts. K and R's were like "bride" and "groom," I think. I don't even remember now what Taylor's said–I just remember that it annoyed me—I'd have to look it up on youtube–I will when I have more time and I'll add a link.
kia Says:
March 7th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Emily- I think he said "I only got a Lousy T-Shirt" Ugh I was so annoyed too! Josh is a douche and a A@# kisser to RK. That's why I like Shawn Robinson& Ben Lyons better.
Mystique- I'll watch it just to see a glimpse of him. Maybe he'll will present award (Hopefully to RDJ) I like Rebel Wilson ,she's hilarious. If you haven't seen Pitch Perfect,then you should,its really good.
*Vickey* Says:
March 7th, 2013 at 11:06 pm
Kia- I agree! Pitch Perfect was amazing! :D And Reble Wilson is hilariously adorable! ^.^ And I wouldn't mind seeing a nice Twilight Tribute at the MTV Movie Awards this year. Does anyone know who's hosting?
Marianne- And I would like to see Daniel Craig win if Taylor was off filming I mean I know we all love Taylor shirtfull and shirtless :P, but I think he deserves a better award than that. I mean I'm fine with him winning, but I just think he's above that. So glad Twilight gave him the boost he needed, but understand as of late he's been trying to free himself from it in order to pull in a bigger fanbase. :) And yeah MTV is really odd about things and that interview with Josh… ehhhhh. He's a jerk. LOL. IDK.
Speaking of the whole shirtless thing, I'm on a TV show at my college as an extracurricular right? And we did a movie review on Abduction I was so excited and what not and the guys ripped it to shreds and they kept saying all these horrible things about Taylor simply because of his past shirtless scenes in the Twilight Saga. I was like: -_- Really guys? Really? *pssh they're jealous* :P

firereign….Thank you for the link to the pic. Taylor enjoying his sports is a win.
I don't know how many saw Kristen's interview in EW but it's about her 5 favorite scenes from Twilight. "Stew, who recently signed on to star in The Big Shoe, says she's been spending time with a certain Twilight costar. No, not that one–Taylor Lautner. It's been so long since we've been in LA at the same time. I've been seeing a lot of that young lout." (I'm surprised she didn't call him a swear word since she's given him the finger during promos) Of course, she lists the one last dance with Jacob as her #5 moment. After her appearance with him at the Marcus Foster concert, I think she is rebuilding her reputation on his good one. I learned from a Twi site that Kristen's "funk bunch" (Kia- love that term) tweeted where they were. So now, TL becomes a famewhore too. Ugh. I'm going to stop because I feel a nasty rant coming on.

March 8th, 2013 at 8:36 am
Point taken @annie, your explanation makes sense…..guess I can get carried away where Tay is concerned..lol. Emily………I so think RP goes both ways. He ran off the stage from his girl…to kiss another guy………he is always telling gay jokes and making advances towards Taylor. At first I thought it was just a joke too…….then I thought he was trying to "out" Taylor (why would a friend do that?)
Now I believe RP is trying to "out" himself. Tay is the one bombarded with the rumors………..yet, unlike RP he's never had a love scene onscreen with another dude………..anyway I don't think the jokes………are really jokes………truth comes out eventually. And Horowitz………, but I was prepared for Tay to be totally left out……..so the interview was actually better than I thought. It does seem like Tay is about to announce something soon……….hopefully it will be the date of when he starts filming Tracers or that he is starting another new project…………whatever the cutie does….I'll be watching.

@marianne wouldn't be surprised that's what happened. I wondered why Troubadour security didn't block off the the alley in back (they're used to having a lot of celebs). Plus I remember them saying how it was a last minute call from Kristen to Taylor to come to the Joan Jett movie premier – won't go into why; there at least his team came with him, but here not a single Taylor person, probably would have kicked his butt around the block, I'm guessing he did this on his own because Taylor I think has a hard time saying "no".
Playing basketball – he looks happy – wonder who the gentleman is that he's talking to. (glad firereign gave us a how to) tried to look at the pic here and all I god was a commercial.

Love the "baby blue'
TIME to really put twilight to bed. I'm tired of all the drama. and now they've sucked Taylor into it. ugh!! I will concede, they're close friends, she had a major part in him not being replaced, and I think she may be close to a crisis & really needs some professional help. Hope she gets it. All this stuff really points out how much "celeb relationships" are not the best way to go, especially when you're so young. The Rob/Kristen deal always seemed weird to me, Peter F dumping his by all I've heard great wife, Michael Welch's divorce, the Selena/Bieb scene, now Miley/Liam are dunzo I heard. I try to keep my perspective by focusing on Taylor and not get too involved with his personal life (he has a lot of time to meet & make the right decision on a mate). my advice to him is "there's plenty of time brother, take it" – but it is his life and his decision. but Taylor, love, don't get too invested in other peoples problems it will solve nothing and only cause you heart ache – I speak from experience. You've tried now it's time for the professionals.
Mystique Says:
March 8th, 2013 at 1:03 pm
Kia—–I guess we'll be watching the MTV Movie Awards together then lol! ^_^ I'm only watching for Taylor really. It would be cool to see him present an award to RDJ. I love him lol.
*Vickey*—-Yes, sad to say, but those college guys are jealous. It happens ALL the time. :-/ Whether you're talking about boy bands, or ANY other hot young male actor, guys ALWAYS find a way to put them down. It happens to the best of them. It's just Taylor's turn right now unfortunately. I think that the "hate" goes away when the guy gets a little older or gets more of a MALE fan-base instead of a female fan-base.
Guys…so insecure lol.
Hey, Taylor can't help it if he's great. Let Taylor be great! lol :-)

March 8th, 2013 at 2:23 pm
this was an instagram posted @littlecrysttal – she says it was sent to her by her mom.
she says the man Taylor is talking to is her uncle & it was probably at Sony Studio because that is where her uncle works.

@Mystique True, that is so very true. They are insecure. :P Lol, but yes when he gets older some of those will eventually let go and embrace the greatness of Taylor Lautner. Lol.

Video:How to Dye Dark Hair Blondewith Laura Kiorkis
Learn how to dye dark hair blonde so that you can lighten your hair color without damaging or over-bleaching hair. Here are tips for how to dye dark hair blonde.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Dye Dark Hair Blonde
Hello, my name is Laura Kiorkis. I'm owner and operator of Gemini of Chicago Hair Salon in Peoria, Ariz. Today, I'm going to show you how to dye dark hair blonde.
Tools Needed to Dye Dark Hair Blonde
The tools you will need to remove color from your client's hair are
- peroxide
- clarifying shampoo
- a protein-based conditioner
- powder lightener
- a little bit of distilled water
- ammonia-based color
- a bowl and brush to apply
Now before you start always make sure to practice safety and to do a skin test and a strand test on your client's hair.
Decide Which Treatment to Use When Dyeing Dark Hair Blonde
To dye dark hair blonde you can do one of two techniques. You can either strip the hair or remove the color by doing a traditional soap cap, or you can apply ammonia-based color on virgin hair, to lift the hair to a lighter level. The first thing you'll need to do to dye dark hair blonde is decide what level you're starting from and decide what end result you would like.
You're going to decide on your method based on what existing tones and level the hair is. In Sera's case, we're working with the few different existing levels and tones, so we're going to apply the soap cap method to cleanse away any dark areas and lift the hair up to a level that we can start with, to determine which color we would like to choose in the end.
Use a Soap Cap Formula to Dye Dark Hair Blonde
To mix a soap cap formula, you'll take equal parts of your powder lightener, peroxide, clarifying shampoo, protein-based conditioner and water, and mix them together. Apply your mixture to your sectioned area, working in small sections to ensure even distribution and saturation. Go through and working the mixture into a lather so that you can cleanse away any dark areas or levels in the hair.
Be sure to check your client's hair frequently while the soap cap is processing to ensure that you do not go beyond the level of lightness you're looking for.
Choose a Light Color to Dye Dark Hair Blonde
Once you have lifted the hair to the desired level of lightness -- in Sera's case that's a yellow-orange stage -- then you'll decide what color you're going to use to control the blonde and get the desire shade in the end. In Sera's case we've decided to use a strawberry blonde to color the hair after we've lightened it to desired level of blonde.
We've decided to use strawberry blonde on Sera, because it complements her fair skin tone. Always be sure to set a timer according to your manufacturer's directions to ensure that you achieve the results that you desire. We have achieved a level 10 Strawberry Blonde on Sera's originally levels four through six brown hair.

Albuquerque children got to see months of their hard work come to fruition.
Students got to watch their hand-built, solar-powered model cars race against each other at Explora in Old Town Albuquerque Friday morning.
The event was part of the 2013 Zia Solar Car Race.
"They have a kit, they learn how to put a car together, but they can improvise on the design and do different things along those lines. But a key takeaway they get is how to work together as a unit," organizer Aubrey Johnson said.
PNM employees also got involved. They got to help the students design, build and ultimately race their solar cars.

ATLANTA - Tashard Choice knows he'll be a marked man this season, especially with Calvin Johnson now playing in the NFL.That's OK. Choice loves the attention. The senior running back is the undisputed star of the Georgia Tech offense, coming off a year in which he led the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing with 1,473 yards. With no obvious candidates to steal away the spotlight, Choice is determined to put up even better numbers in his college finale. 'I'm really just enjoying my senior season,' Choice said, who's been getting advice from former Georgia Tech stars such as Johnson and Joe Hamilton. 'They all miss the college experience, miss being around the fellows. I really want to enjoy it. I'm not taking anything for granted.' Choice is one of the team's most vocal players - in a good way, according to coach Chan Gailey. 'It's not trash talk,' the coach said. 'It's encouraging, fired-up talk. There's a big difference in those two.' If Choice keeps improving, he'll likely put himself in the mix for All-America honors and maybe even get mentioned as a possible Heisman Trophy candidate. Those sort of goals make him run even harder. 'I think he enjoys it,' Gailey said. 'That's right up his alley. If he didn't have it, I don't think it would crush him. He is strong enough to handle whatever comes. But liking it? Oh yeah, he likes it.' Choice knows he'll need a lot of help from his teammates - especially an experienced offensive line - in order to attract the national spotlight. 'You really understand that in college football, it's more of a team effort for you to reach those goals,' he said. 'If I had a chance to do those things, I would be ecstatic. That's something you work for, something you want to do: be an All-American, be a Heisman candidate. But you also understand what comes with it. It's a responsibility.' He is likely to draw extra attention from opposing defenses, beginning with Saturday's opener at Notre Dame. The Yellow Jackets are breaking in a new starting quarterback (Taylor Bennett) and have only one returning wideout with double-figure catches (James Johnson). That said, Choice isn't concerned. He points out that Georgia Tech had an erratic passing game last season, even with Calvin Johnson on the receiving end. 'We've always been able to run the football since I've been here,' Choice said. 'That's still going to be ground zero for us.' Missing from polls The rankings don't really matter much at this time of year. Still, the Georgia Tech players definitely noticed they were missing from both major polls heading into the season. The Yellow Jackets expected to be ranked after reaching the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in 2006, especially with 17 returning starters on offense, defense and the kicking game. But the poll voters apparently paid more attention to the way Georgia Tech finished (three straight defeats) and the loss of All-American receiver Calvin Johnson, who's now playing in the NFL. 'Yeah, we may have had a few downfalls, but we played good enough to think that we should have been up there the next year, especially with all the people we've got coming back,' receiver James Johnson said. 'We have a pretty experienced team, but we're still not up there. Our job right now is to win all our games and let that speak for itself.' Linebacker Philip Wheeler said he wasn't disappointed at being left out of the polls, but 'was wondering how some of the teams were in it ahead of us.' While Choice got a little ticked off when the rankings came out, he quickly moved on. 'The other teams deserve to be there,' he said. 'That's something you really have no control over. The only thing you can do is prove how good you are on the field. That's the only thing we have to do.' Stat corner Georgia Tech is starting the season against Notre Dame for the fifth time. The Fighting Irish won all four of the previous openers, most recently a 14-10 victory in Atlanta last year. Overall, Notre Dame holds a commanding 27-5-1 edge in the series, including an 11-2-1 mark in South Bend. The Yellow Jackets' last road victory over the Irish was a 14-10 triumph in 1959. They said it 'Obviously, it holds a great deal of history. It's obviously a great place to play. But it's a place that you have to go try to win. I don't get chills when I walk into the stadium. It's just another football field, another game, another team. You can't let the situation get to you.' - Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, on playing at Notre Dame Stadium. SideBar: Georgia Tech at Notre Dame When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Where: South Bend, Ind. TV/Radio: NBC/790-AM

If you have that insatiable craving for Skyline Chili, this is the place to go to get your 5-way fix. This may be tastier than the original, and the Tabasco appears before you without having to ask. The reason? The chef is from Cincinnati, and actually a former Bearcat football player. The duck confit is superb, and I usually don't like duck that much. If you order the burger, be sure to bring an appetite. One last thing, they serve bottles of Allagash White.

Went here friday with friends. Eveything was really good esp the duck confit app. The pork in the tacos was stewed to perfection......very tender.. My pork chop was a little fatty but still delicious. The maple glaze was just right and the white beans a perfect compliment. The tuna was amazing. One of the best I've had in the city! Rare with a perfect sear. We also loved the creative beer selection. No budweisser or Miller.....(thk god)....Nice going Alias

We came in after a wine tasting and ordered 3 appetizers and an order of three sides: the ratatouille, the fried okra, and the cucumber and tomato salad. The first two were fantastic, the salad, a little too low on salt and mint; the portions were huge: each side was enough for two people, maybe three. The appetizers were a little smaller and more manageable, but we were pretty full from the veggies. The sweetbreads with potatoes were great, the shrimp and avocado salad was pedestrian; the shrimp weren't very flavorful, and the avocado was bland as well--maybe just another salt issue for me. The grilled artichokes were amazing, maybe the best we've ever had. I'm a big fan of this place, and I have high expectations, so maybe I'm a little too critical. I think it's easily the best food value in town.

Shane Coffey is a fantastic chef - he combines skill, creativity and seasonal ingredients in exceptionally well-valued dishes. From perfectly seared scallop appetizers to a perfectly fried softshell crab entree special, you can't go wrong. Just make sure to stay for dessert - he'll satisfy your sweet tooth, as well!

Stumbled onto Clinton on our way to one of our favorite Mexican places when I decided on a whim to venture down to Rivington to the well known pair of restaurants, 71 Clinton and Alias, two places I have always wanted to try. 71 Clinton looked fun and chic, but the menu in the window was over our budget. So we opted for Alias. We walked in and we didn't have to wait to be seated and it was a Friday night! The waitress was casual, friendly, and attentive, made great suggestions for the wine pairing. The baked halibut in garlic scallion butter was very flavorful and harmoniously accompanied by rich horseradish mashed potatoes and fresh snap peas. My girlfriend's half rack Memphis-style BBQ ribs was a generously portioned, succulent & greasy delight that took both of our efforts to tackle, and the onion rings were awesome. The coleslaw was interesting, but a little too pungent. But that was OK, because the meat was falling off the bone and melting in our mouths like butter and that's where it counts. In the end, my girlfriend was very happy to have made the last minute detour with me to this cozy and smart little restaurant. And it didn't break the bank! We'll be coming back.
Posted by NYC'er on 02/09/2005
I'd agree that over the past year this restaurant has improved a ton. Right now, I'd say it's every bit as good as it's more well known and pricier neighbor 71 Clinton.

The age of our earthly experiences is determined by time-wave phases that progress through a spiral of multiple cycles, or "wheels within wheels." We are currently in what is termed a "Grand Cycle," meaning a time-wave composed of many converging cycles culminating in a grand shift of the ages. One of the hallmarks of such a culmination is the appearance of incarnate souls from all previous cycles.
Wave Of Souls
This culmination of all time-wave cycles into one Grand time-wave is the primary reason for the appearance of a rather astounding number of souls who are incarnating into our current age, because such a Grand Cycle provides unique opportunities to fulfill their personal journeys that will never be repeated exactly in any future time-wave. Thus, we are witnessing an unprecedented convergence of souls from multiple time-lines who are all sharing the experience of this monumental cycle.
This convergence of souls represents beings from every time-wave, i.e. from every previous civilization, known and unknown, a collective convergence in which all beings, on every conceivable level of awareness are here to share their soul's journeys with all others in the great wave of humanity. Here, we have a unique opportunity to help each other correct imbalances accumulated through all previous cycles on an individual and a collective level of conscious-awareness during this grand time-wave convergence.
Viral Elitism
We see then, in our time, that the notion of elitism is not an isolated feature confined to the so-called controllers of the current civilizations. It is, rather, like an equal opportunity virus that infects any whose spiritual immune systems are compromised. One shocking infection of this virus has manifest in the so-called newage movement, now populated with self-proclaimed "enlightened ones," looking down upon their brethren with the same vile condescension as those whom they accuse of same.
So, we have a vast newage contingent who have come to regard all those less informed than themselves as subhuman entities. Among the many condescending terms, the "sheeple" is perhaps the most egregious and demeaning. The term is now just as ubiquitous as the term "cattle," used by the elite power class to dehumanize those whom they consider "useless eaters," etc., otherwise known as the "common man." Clearly, this idea of elitism is a disease that infects the mind of those who seek superiority over others in order to compensate for their own brand of ignorance and impotence.
Children Of Man
The fact is that the earth is populated with versions of ourselves in different timelines that have converged in this Grand Cycle so that each of us, as sovereign expressions of THE ONE, can reconcile the cumulative imbalances and injustices of all our lifetimes by meeting ourselves in all times, NOW. Thus, we have the opportunity to empower other versions of ourselves, just as loving parents do with their children.
Contemplate, then, what type of parent regards their children as "sheeple," ignorant, stupid and mindless, who are beyond help, unworthy of love, and worthless fools who do not deserve our compassion and nurturing. How is it that the very attitude of counterfeit superiority, so reviled in the circles of those who manipulate the resources of this planet, is so readily condoned by the so-called enlightened class of society who so arrogantly expose the evil of said elitists? Clearly, they too are infected with the virus.
Jacob's Ladder
Perhaps it is time to contemplate the deeper meaning of the biblical reference to "Jacob's Ladder," found in "The Genius Frequency." There, the biblical reference is explained as a spiraling staircase of souls, like an endless string of glistening stars, each linked together, yet each occupying a unique place in the ever moving, dynamic spiral of time-waves within our galactic progenitor. Thus, each soul is a sovereign expression of a Divine Seed, yet each is a version of one's fragmented self in an infinite string of interconnected, inter-dimensional experiences, in and out of time.
Thus, on Jacob's Ladder, as human souls spiral through the star-fields of time, every hand is outstretched in both directions, linking the one behind to the one in front. Here, every older soul is a parent to a younger one, just as every older soul is the child of an elder in a Divine progression of spiritual realization. In the wisdom of Jacob's Ladder, we see that EVERYONE LEADS and EVERYONE FOLLOWS, in the grand, sacred precession of souls through time's progression.
A Time Of Healing
Clearly, the virus of elitism is artificially engineered for the express purpose of perpetrating and perpetuating class wars within the brotherhood of man. It is an insidious infection that incubates within a culture of false-pride and matures into a full-blown counterfeit hierarchy, a counterculture designed to fragment the continuity of our shared incarnate experiences into a strategy of mutual destruction.
Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, we must help each other heal by first individually strengthening our spiritual immune systems knowing that all other souls will benefit and heal, in turn. We must neutralize the virus of elitism infecting our awareness through compassion and unconditional love for those who are living another level of our fragmented beings. In doing so, each of us will become the Divine Parent who seeks to bestow the highest inheritance of blessings upon our children. Thus, each generation of ourselves is the beneficiary of a greater joy of living and sharing the infinite possibilities open to our true spiritual evolution, the one that transcends all systems of time.

Sellers Seals OCCAC Title As No. 17 Express Defeat Columbus State In Four SetsOctober 26, 2012
By Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information
Toledo, OH---Dakia Sellers recorded a kill on the final point as the No. 17 Express volleyball team defeated Columbus State Community College 25-21, 17-25, 25-23, 25-21 in the SHAC tonight.
With the win, the Express finish the regular season 31-9 overall and 12-0 in the OCCAC. They captured their third straight OCCAC championship, which is also their 13th in the past 14 years and 14th title overall.
Sellers led the Express with 23 kills, while Alyssa Meis (16), Jazmine Thomas (10) and Tiffani Hobbs (7) also helped produce in that category.
One match after setting the program record for most assists in a single match, Molly Hilfinger got 54 more to lead the team. In the last two matches, she has 118 assists and her two highest assist totals of the season. She is now 133 assists away from tying the program's all-time career assist record.
While Bailey Windham recorded a team-high two aces, Lisa Urbanski led the team in digs with 35. Alyssa Meis added 18 digs, while Hilfinger and Windham each had nine. Brandi Schimming pitched in eight digs, too.
Sellers had the team's lone solo block, while Thomas and Hobbs each had two assisted blocks.
Overall, the Express had 59 kills, 55 assists, three aces, 87 digs, one solo block and six assisted blocks.
The win for the Express stretched their OCCAC winning streak to 34 consecutive matches, which has included back-to-back 12-0 seasons and 10 straight wins to close out the 2010 season. Their 12-0 record in OCCAC play also marks the eighth time the Express has achieved an undefeated conference season.
Additionally, Express head coach Sonny Lewis won his 130th OCCAC match. He is 130-8 (.942) in OCCAC play since taking over in 2001.
The Express have completed their regular season and will open Region XII District E tournament play as the #1 seed, which earns them a first round bye. Their first match will be on Nov. 3 at 12 p.m. against an opponent TBD in the winner's bracket semifinals. Should they win that, the Express will advance to the winner's bracket finals at 4 p.m. on Nov. 3.
The championship of the double elimination tournament will be held Nov. 4. The winner advances to the NJCAA D-II National Tournament, which is being hosted in the SHAC at Owens Community College.

The Final Edit: 16 Things to Improve Your Photos – Perez Hilton Edition
You like photography? I like it too. I like it so much, I helped start a company that has "photo" in its name. I like "shelter" too, but that is neither here nor there.
Today we're talking about photography, and specifically, a few pointers for making your photography better. If you're one of those fancy pants guys who already makes thousands of dollars every year from photography, then this post is not for you. This is for the person who believes there are still a few things to learn, and want to become a better photographer.
And just to prove my point, I'm illustrating all the "wrong" things with my photos that suck. You have a few photos that suck too. Don't nod your head like that. I saw them! But hey, no need to be defensive. We're using the power of positive thought to not suck because no one gets paid to suck unless you're on reality TV. Remember, just like Tony Little told us, YOU CAN DO IT!
Lest you think I'm just spouting off like I usually do, let me clear the air. In order to get educated on what to write, I spent a week with our editors. And not just a few minutes here or there. I literally sat with them and reviewed over six thousand images to get a sense of the variety of images we were seeing, and a few trends started to become readily apparent. And when I say "trends" I really mean "things that we don't want to be trends." So let's get started with my first installment of The Final Edit.
The Rule of Thirds & Composition
Never heard of the rule of thirds, huh? Neither has my grandmother. She's so old, she thought Polaroid was new.
The rule of thirds is a compositional theory used in photography and other arts, and it basically helps you create points of interest. There's no rule of halves. No rule of ones. There's a golden rule, but I'm relatively certain that it has nothing to do with photography.
I talked to my buddy Vincent Laforet, about this whole composition thing, and I asked him, "Vince, what do you think makes you such a good photographer?" because he has one of them Pulitzer Prize thingies. He told me it's because his parents made him take drawing classes as a kid. It should be no surprise that artistic principles are important in photography.
So listen Mozart, remember that composition is important.
Clean up your backgrounds
You have a great shot of a soccer player with his leg over his head with the ball right on the tip of his toe and a pained expression on his face, and in the background is some fat guy in a little coat eating a hot dog on the sidelines. And he is also in perfect focus.
The beauty of photography is that you can use a combination of aperture and focal length to selectively focus on the subject of the image. If you have an image that is so unique like Chris Farley on the sidelines the day of his death, we wouldn't reject it. But if you have an average image with a messy background, we'll drop it like it's hot.
The world is not really that saturated
Who can't resist pumping up the saturation a little bit? Sky looks a little bluer, flowers look a little more vibrant. And I remember Fuji Velvia like the next guy, but you are not Timothy Leary, so put the LSD filter down, and back off the saturation control, bro.
On the other hand, contrast is nice
Tonal range is a wonderful thing. Because between ebony and ivory, there's a whole range of colors living together in perfect harmony. But if you decide to shoot under difficult lighting conditions – like shooting your favorite landscape into the sun — there goes the contrast.
If your name is Robert Rauschenberg, we'll accept the photo. If not, make contrast your friend.
Zoom vs Digital Zoom
You went to Circuit City, you bought yourself a little camera, and you noticed that if you hold the zoom lever down for a few extra seconds the image gets really big on your viewfinder. That's called digital zoom, and that, my friends, is like taking a page and enlarging it on a Xerox machine. Sure it's big, but it looks like crap.
You've got two choices. 1) Get yourself a real telephoto lens. Pro: Sweet optics. Con: Expensive, or 2) Move your butt closer. Pro: Better pictures, burn calories. Con: none.
Digital zoom is a total no-no because of the image degradation. Zoom is ok.
There's a whole bunch of photo purists who like to talk about "primes" (e.g. fixed focal length lenses) and bemoan the proliferation of zooms. This is because when you zoom in and out, it prevents you from moving your body, and then you forget about how a different focal length changes perspective and distortion.
Try forcing yourself to shoot at a fixed focal length for a few days so you can really start to understand how much distance and focal length affect the scene composition.
Dust on your sensor
Hey Monet. We're artists over here, and I don't think you meant to have that UFO in the sky. That big gray spot on your photo is dust that has lodged itself against the digital sensor in your camera, and we will summarily reject images that have this defect. You have three choices 1) use a product like the Arctic Butterfly to clean your sensor, or 2) Photoshop that bad boy, 3) restrict your photography to photos of Michael Jackson in a hermetically sealed room. Buyers can't use images with dust imperfections, so we won't accept them.
And if you work for Visible Dust, please send me a complimentary Arctic Butterfly for giving you free advertising.
Straighten the horizon
There are photographers out there who will tilt the horizon for effect. And I'd like to think that you're one of them, but more often, the image is tilted because you weren't paying attention. Building columns are vertically straight. Structures are usually flat even if the ground they're built on are not. Take a moment to make sure the lines within your viewfinder are straight. Some newer cameras like the Nikon D3 even have leveling capabilities for people like me who perennially shoot at about 1 degree off axis. I blame it on the weight of my camera and my puny arms. But still.
Christopher Morris can tilt his camera. He can do it at 5.1°, but he shoots for VII.
Shooting up at buildings
Yo Calatrava, shooting buildings isn't so easy. Accomplished architectural shooters, like Paul Warchol, use view cameras or tilt/shift lenses to control perspective, and prevent the keystone effect, which makes buildings look like they are falling away from the camera.
But before you buy that 8×10, you can do better by avoiding your wide angle lens while shooting straight up at a building. If you want to shoot straight up at a building, then I would suggest shooting the Apollo Theater during amateur hour because that's what those images look like. Ba dump! I'll be here all week folks.
Speaking of buildings, we have lots of pictures of famous landmarks like Big Ben, and that huge ferris wheel in London. If you want to shoot famous landmarks, search the site before you submit to see if we're saturated with a particular subject matter. It'll save you and us a lot of time.
Mad Libs Part 1: Just because you go somewhere "exotic" doesn't mean the pictures are good
You finally saved up for that great vacation to [insert exotic place here] with the hubby. Took the camera along to shoot the natives of [insert exotic place here]. Can you believe all the natives doing the same stuff that we do except their skin color is [insert different skin color here] and they are wearing those cute little [insert native costume name here] just like at [insert theme park here].
Surprise! The rules of composition and proper exposure didn't disappear when you left the [insert your country of residence]. Vince Laforet shot stuff in Pakistan, and by golly, it looks as awesome as his images from Hawaii (which is a part of the USA, btw). Similarly, the boring photos I took in South Africa are as bad the boring photos I took in New York.
And while poverty exists globally, shooting some bum on the street or an old tiny woman with 400 pounds of junk on her back in [insert exotic place] doesn't turn you into James Nachtwey. On the other hand, if you take a pic of a little chinese kid taking a drag, send it on over because that is tragically funny.
My point – even though your subject may be an exotic place, person, animal, or ritual – our photo editors and buyers won't want it if the image isn't perfect.
Mad Libs Part 2: Close seats at sporting events doesn't mean the picture is going to be good
Your boss scored some tickets to the state championship and somehow you got a pass to the sidelines. You took the camera along because you thought, "Hey, PSC probably needs some images of [insert sports]." You're so close to [Circle one: David Beckham, Tiger Woods, Venus Williams, Tom Brady], you can practically smell the sweat.
Good thing you brought that motor drive because the PSC is definitely missing pictures of 1) referee butts, 2) backs of athlete hea ds, 3) football/basketball/baseball action photos with no ball in it. And that my fine friends was sarcasm.
My point: If you were a really good Italian cook, you would never assume that you could just try cooking Thai food, and it would be delicious on the first time. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but you need to emotionally distance yourself from the excitement of being on the sideline with the actual quality of your photos. People that shoot for publications like Sports Illustrated have been shooting sports for years, and actually know things like the batting tendencies of Robinson Cano, and which way Devin Harris (Go Nets!) favors when driving to the hoop. They anticipate the action and know how to frame the shot – making it commercially viable.
No matter where you are, pictures of people's back are boring
What is it about backs that make them so unexpressive? So incapable of expressing emotion the way, say, a face can? Ah, I pity the back.
Your caption sucks
This caption sucks: " "
See anything? Neither did I because you didn't write one. If a picture is worth a thousand words, yours is worth 983. So give me a sentence with the 17 missing words so I know what you photographed.
This caption sucks too: Detail of modern building
Denial isn't a river in Egypt, Imhotep. Think about it from the standpoint of an image buyer. No one types in "modern building" and executes a search. They want to know the building name, location, architect, etc. Like Nell Carter said, "Gimme a break!"
And it's a terrible assumption to believe that the sign you photographed which reads "Regional Department of the Royal Guard of the Knight's Order" will give us enough info to know the who/what/when/where/why of the image. We don't know where that is. We sit in an office all day and are completely sedentary. Hey, someone pass me a cookie.
Here's one more because I know you like it: Dusk, Empire State Building, Fall
Yo Hemingway, that is not a sentence. You want brevity? How's about: "More Effort!" Your caption — that string of words separated by commas — is a keyword. A caption is a sentence. Noun, verb, direct object. Or Noun verb. Or maybe it depends on what "is" is. Please write your captions in complete sentences.
Ok, last one, I promise: This is a picture of the subway I take to work. We all can appreciate mass transit!
I betcha thought you were being a little sassy by inserting the editorial comment and the first person point of view. Captions are no place for sass. Write in the third person, and keep it factual to answer the who/what/where/when.
Better captions help you sell your images. It's a no brainer.
The sky isn't white
You went to Italy. The tour bus took you to Florence and dropped you in front of Il Duomo. It's high noon and your tour guide, Giovanni, tells you to meet back exactly at 1pm. So you hop off the bus and think, "Hm, I bet PSC needs a few pics of the Duomo." You grab a quick Royale with Cheese and snap a picture while downing that coke (Isn't amazing that McDonald's tastes the same wherever you go?). Duomo looks great, but the sky is completely blown out to white. I don't want to trivialize the whiteness of snow, but I am talking white.
But the sky is blue. And although clouds have white parts to them, they also have shadows and texture that give them dimensionality.
The really great photographers wait for the light for hours and days. But if you have to snap a quick one because, er, Fabio told you to get back on the bus, then maybe you ought to consider something like a filter. A skylight filter, a neutral density filter, a cross-polarizer filter. Maybe try bracketing or HDR so that you can retain detail in all parts of your image.
That Photoshop filter pack your mom bought you for Christmas
The Photoshop simpletons believe that retouching skin = Gaussian blur. They also believe that "Glowing Edge" and "Sumi-e" are your friends. But they are in third grade. Those preset filters are a photographic microwave; a push-button solution for something much more complex. Ratatouille didn't microwave, and he won an Oscar despite being a rat. So don't be like the Star Wars kid. He gots no control.
Also, that "P" setting on your camera doesn't stand for "Perfection" it stands for "This robot camera of mine is doing all the thinking."
We all hate reading, especially manuals, but you should force yourself to read your camera manual because "flower mode" isn't really about shooting flowers, and that other thing is actually a pictogram for mountains, not just a bunch of triangles.
Now, I don't wanna go off on a rant here, but photography is two things: 1) exposure, and 2) composition. If your camera is on "P" then you're not doing #1. And if you haven't considered framing a scene before hitting the shutter, then you're not doing #2. And if you're not doing #1 or #2, then the robots have won. And if the robots have won, then Spock is a good photographer. And if Spock is a good photographer, then it means my iPod has more creativity than you, and that's pretty sad considering it's a 2nd generation iPod.
Shooting a stationary object is not hard.
That Michelangelo statue isn't moving. Plate tectonics move continents faster than that statue. So you might be surprised to learn how many blurry images we get of statues. Usually it's because the photographer is shooting in a low light environment like a museum. And that's why John Tripode invented the tripod. Ya got me. That was a joke. I have no idea who invented the tripod, but use one.
You should also become familiar with how your camera handles low light in general. A lot of the lower end cameras don't do so well. We typically see poor shadow detail, funky colors, poor dynamic range, etc. If you haven't invested a ton into your equipment, that's fine, but don't lose a critical eye when editing and submitting your photos.
And unless your name is Tom Berenger, you probably can't hand hold a camera under 1/30th of a second consistently.
I don't know who came up with the term "silhouette" to describe something shot against white seamless paper that isn't really a silhouette. But listen up! Shooting against a wrinkled white b ed sheet under incandescent lights does not qualify as silhouette. That's more like Terry Richardson, or some weird dude in Jersey shooting soft core in his basement.
For your background to go white, it needs to be exposed at least 1 stop over. If you go much over that, you'll get flare. You need some strobes to do it, Edgerton. By the way, photo editors like to call it "Silo," and they aren't talking about a grain elevator.
Subject Matter that bugs photo editors
• Street performers (especially robot dudes, statue of liberty weirdos, etc)
• Pictures of signs
• People in costumes within amusement parks
• Civil War re-enactments
• The inclusion of the person who is so obviously your wife in a photo that you captioned "A woman walking down the boardwalk"
That's all I've got for you today. But let's get one thing straight. We are a team. We want you to give us better photos because they are more pleasurable to edit and they are easier to sell. And if we don't continually improve our technique or want to become better, we'll drown in mediocrity like EMF singing "You're Crumbelievable." We're going to give it to you straight like a ruler because we're all adults (except for those handful of underage kids that we let in).
And while there are exceptions to every rule I've stated, let's be honest. We shouldn't break the rules until we know the rules. Don't break the rules because you're ignorant – break them because you mean to.
Lastly, when someone asks you who your favorite photographers are, don't just answer Ansel Adams and Annie Leibowitz. Nothing against those two because they are great photographers, but the history of photography is much more diverse, and people are doing really interesting things today. We should strive to learn about the photographers who preceded us, our contemporaries, and those that will follow because without Commodores, we wouldn't have had *NSYNC. Without the Sugar Hill Gang we wouldn't have T-Pain (5 million ringtone downloads can't be wrong!). There's so much information about photographers and photography online. The PhotoShelter blog is a good place to start, and I'm not talking about my stupid blog. I'm talking about Shoot! The Blog.
Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!

Ive a pair of peach face lovebirds which is fertile and has bred a number of times.Now two offspring of same clutch have created a pair, which is natural like, because i didn't interfered in their pair selection.
Now i have given them a seperate cage and nestbox , the female created a proper nest in it and has laid eggs a number of times,
But none of the egg has hatched.after 15-20 days she use to chew her own eggs.
I dont know what is the reason. I've not interfered in their pair selection or anything else. I just know that both of them are brother and sister.
I want them to breed because they also want it.
Do i have any option.
Thanks to all.

Starting quarterback Everett Golson is no longer enrolled at Notre Dame, the university confirmed in an email to ESPN.com on Saturday night.
More on Notre Dame football
Everything Notre Dame football, from recruiting to news to game coverage, is available from ESPN.com's Matt Fortuna in his Notre Dame football blog.
• More: ESPN Chicago's college blog
"Everett is not enrolled at the university. Federal law and our own polices preclude us from discussing specifics," spokesman Dennis Brown said in an email.
The Chicago Tribune, citing two sources, reported that Golson is no longer enrolled at the university due to a resident life violation.
Golson started 11 games for the Fighting Irish last season as a redshirt freshman, leading the team to the Discover BCS National Championship, where it lost to Alabama to finish a 12-1 season.
He completed 187-of-318 passes for 2,405 yards and 12 touchdowns with six interceptions. Golson also rushed for 298 yards and six scores.
WNDU-TV earlier reported that Golson no longer was enrolled at Notre Dame.
Former Fighting Irish QB Gunner Kiel transferred to Cincinnati last month.
Senior Tommy Rees is the most experienced quarterback enrolled, with 18 career starts. Fourth-year junior Andrew Hendrix and Malik Zaire, a spring enrollee, are also on the depth chart.
Zaire was the sixth-ranked QB prospect in the Class of 2013, according to the ESPN 300.

Corgis may soon make their way onto the endangered breed list, according to the Britain Kennel Club's breeders's association. There were only 241 Pembroke Welsh Corgis registered in Britain this year, AFP reports. That number needs to be at 300 to stay off the vulnerable breeds list.
Corgis: the unofficial mascot of the Internet, the Queen's favorite kind of pooch, the stuff our dreams are made of. Together, we can avoid a Corgi a-paw-calypse. Just follow these seven steps:
1. Gather all of your corgi friends
2. We mean ALL of them
3. Take to the streets with your message
4. But, like, don't forget to nap a lot
5. Always keep moving
6. Always keep cuddling

You just might want to consult your doctor before seeing Le Grand C. Side effects include shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, raised eyebrows and a jaw that will hang so far open that you'll be picking it up off the ground.
The 17 acrobats of the French performance group Compagnie XY took to the stage of Memminger Auditorium Friday night for a display of human strength, balance and agility so awesome that you'll find yourself feeling guilty that you skipped the gym that morning.
Memminger's lofty ceilings proved vital, as the performers routinely situate themselves three to four performers high. They used their appendages interchangeably as they climbed one another, as if they're blissfully unaware that feet are meant for standing and hands for catching and holding.
Calves, shoulders, hips, heads and hands all function as places to stand, though "standing" doesn't always mean they're on their feet.
Teamwork is key; Any acrobats not actively performing a stunt stood by offering support in the event of a fall, though it's hard to tell if a trick doesn't go according to plan as many of them come within inches of apparent doom to begin with.
The tension was tangible as the acrobats ascended. It was clear, through gasps and scattered claps, that the audience wanted desperately to erupt into applause, but the balance seemed so delicate, it seemed best not to disrupt it.
The six women in the group are mesmerizing as they leap and are launched. They dive with the grace and fluidity of dolphins, but somehow land without a splash each time. They dance on shoulders with more grace than many have when firmly planted on the ground.
But the women are more than dainty as they lift one another, as well as much larger men, atop their shoulders and into the air. And the men, though taller and stockier, are nearly as light on their feet, and ascend one another with little trouble.
The set is minimalistic, but it works. The barren, black stage contains only a roughly 3-foot-tall cylinder atop which the acrobats occasionally balance. The lighting, designed by Vincent Millet and Jeremie Cuseniers, is dim, but highlights every curve and indentation of the acrobats' trained muscles.
The dramatic lighting also accents the remarkably pedestrian costumes — some men perform in colored polos with suspenders, designed by Marie-Cecile Viault and Geraldine Guilbaud.
Unlike the audience members, the performers' faces show neither fear nor focus, not shock or satisfaction — only an occasional coy eyebrow raised. For the audience, the show is a feast for the eyes filled with jolts to the heart, but for the members of Compagnie XY, it's just another day on the job.

Chicago Tribune: Bound For Glory? The Venerable Encyclopaedia Britannica Struggles To Survive In An Electronic Age
Paul Hoffman is the publisher of Chicago-based Encyclopaedia Britannica and his office looks like it should. It's in the stately Britannica Centre on Michigan Avenue. The large room is all lacquered wood and brown leather. There is a long bookshelf that holds the famous 32-volume Britannica. But there sits Hoffman, 41, wearing a Curious George T-shirt and blue jeans on a Thursday afternoon.
"Typical office wear," he laughed. "I wear blue jeans and listen to Nirvana." When he talks, he leans over his desk, smiles wildly, and stares at you with wide-open eyes. He was hired a little more than six months ago to transform this 230-year-old company from a slow and stodgy print publishing house into a hi-tech content provider for the information superhighway.
"We are in the digital age," Hoffman stated, confidently. But competition in the digital age is brutal. Hoffman and Britannica are up against the big boys, like Microsoft and IBM. Britannica has the daunting task of trying to accomplish something no one has been able to do: make money selling information over the Internet.

Lincoln-Erdman Students Write Poetry For Their Favorite Bus Driver
Lincoln-Erdman Elementary School's second grade students have been learning about how words and phrases supply rhythm and meaning in a poem. Mrs. Jane Mayer's 2nd grade book club group found a poem about a "yellow" school bus with a bus driver named "Steve." It just so happens that Lincoln-Erdman has their very own "yellow" school bus driver by the name of "Steve" (Frick). The children then wrote their own alliteration for Steve and we presented him with a copy of the "yellow bus" poem and a copy of each child's handwritten alliteration.
The children are pictured (from left to right): Lucky Chang, Kalina Yang, Justin Lee, Evan Anderson, Keegan Geiss, and Ashley Lee, with yellow school bus driver Steve Frick.

It's no secret that over here at TTAC, we like to pay for it – at least when it comes to test cars. Sure, we do go to the press fleet frequently, but when time and budget allow, abusing our Hertz #1 Club Gold membership is a great way to get behind the wheel of select automobiles.
Tag: zip car
Being asked "what car should I buy?" occurs on a weekly basis for me, but I'd rather field that question every day than listen to the recieved wisdom of a magazine racer just once more in my life. The most recent inquiry came from my Uncle Maurice, a kind and generous man who provided my brother and me with a near bottomless supply of Swiss Army knives when we were children.

Lucas Leiva and Jon Flanagan became the latest Liverpool players to take the ice bucket challenge on Wednesday.
The pair followed in the footsteps of Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho in having freezing cold water poured over their heads - all to help raise awareness and funds for charity.
Flanagan posted the following video on his official Instagram account - and then challenged teammate Adam Lallana, ex-Red Jamie Carragher and Everton's Ross Barkley to have a go themselves.
Lucas soon followed in response to his nominations from Coutinho and former LFC forward Ryan Babel. The midfielder also urged Sebastian Coates, ex-Anfield striker Luis Suarez and Brazilian goalkeeper Cassio Ramos to take bucket of cold water over the head.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City's Craig Noone carried out Steven Gerrard's nomination to take the ice bucket challenge – which you can see in our free clip below.
The aim of the ice bucket challenge is to raise awareness of the neurodegenerative disease, motor neurone disease, and funds for respective charities.

The Convention Center MetroLink station is mere steps away from our front doors. We got the bright idea that this meant we needed to take some adventures to showcase all of the fun places you can go and fun things you can do without having to get in your car.
When I was younger, I took the MetroLink with my dad from the North Hanley Station by his house into downtown for special events and sporting events. It was much easier for us to take the Metro from out there and get dropped off steps away from the action rather than having to drive down and park. I hadn't really ridden the MetroLink since then. Since I haven't explored all of the places the MetroLink can take you from downtown to out west, we grabbed a trusty Flipcam and headed out.
This MetroLink station is a little different than a lot of them because it is underground. You take the stairs or the escalator down and there you are in the tunnel. The ticket machine is right there as you walk down. It takes paper money or plastic. For change, it spits out coins. Fares for the MetroLink and buses can be found here. We each bought a roundtrip ticket for $4.50.
Every time I ride the MetroLink, I feel like I am on vacation. I leave when I leave, I get there when I get there. I can read a book while I ride or text or whatever. You always find that one person on a trip who thinks it is perfectly okay to talk loudly on a cell phone and annoy everyone around them. I guess that's par for the course anywhere in life.
We rode past Busch Stadium, the Scottrade Center, Union Station, Saint Louis University and the hospital complex at the Central West End station until we got to The Delmar Loop.
The station is about a block off of Delmar behind The Pageant music venue. Speaking of The Pageant, it is an awesome place to watch a concert. The acts that play there rave about the acoustics. The event in front of the stage is off-limits to food and beverages so you can enjoy the music and "move yo hips" without worrying about some idiot spilling something on you.
Just up from The Pageant is the Moonrise Hotel. The Moonrise is a luxury boutique hotel with St. Louis-themed suites named after folks on the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Check out this post for a peek at what it's like to spend at night at the Moonrise.
It was Miranda and I that went on the adventure, so of course we had to do some shopping. We stopped in at Pizzazz Furniture where we found perhaps the most comfortable office chair ever. I also stopped at Miss M's Candy while Miranda shopped more. She found some great clothes at Sole&Blues and Ziezo.
We decided to eat lunch at the most amazing sandwhich shop in the world, Snarf's. I've been here a couple of times and I must say my favorites are the peanut butter, banana and honey sub and the hot dog, american cheese and bacon sub, both toasted. The most amazing thing about this place? They will be opening fairly soon downtown right next to Pi, meaning they will also be neighbors with us in the Mercantile Exchange.
You can't go to The Loop without checking out Vintage Vinyl. You know you want to look at some records, maybe see a band play a random show? Speaking of seeing someone play. The legend himself, Chuck Berry, plays at Blueberry Hill once a month. It's a show and a place you must see.
So many other places on The Delmar Loop that we didn't get a chance to visit this adventure. For now, check out this video we made. And remember, this is just one of the many places you can go on the MetroLink from The Laurel Apartments.
