text: GeekDad prepares for his GeekDaughter Geek Dad 26 April 11 by Stuart Thomson flickr/hansel5569 This is a guest blog from new GeekDad Stuart Thomson.With two young boys in the household already, my geek ways have been fully appreciated and even encouraged. But with my wife expecting a girl at the end of April, I am worried that I will be out of my depth. When my wife announced that we were expected a girl, I could not have been happier. Our boys, aged 6 and 4, play together well, scrap as only boys can do, and will defend each other to the hilt. They have also been showing strong and early signs of being interested in all the things I love -- Dr Who, sci-fi, electronic games, football, films and most importantly, music. I have always been able to rely on my interests to engage the boys and build my relationship with them. We have things in common and if we don't want to speak then we can sit happily in silence, play DS games, and ask each other for help if any is needed.I now find myself worried that having a girl will take me out of my comfort zone and that I will be unable to engage with her in the same way I can with the boys. Am I wrong to think that a little girl may not appreciate the same things? I guess I'm worried we will not have enough in common.My worst fear is that she won't "get" games, and won't understand the appeal of the new generation of Daleks. I am looking forward to taking the boys to the Dr Who Experience, but will she appreciate it?I hope this doesn't come across as the last roar of some sort of dinosaur. I want my daughter to have exactly the same life chances and opportunities as the boys. I guess this is really all about my lack of experience. I am not even too sure how to get a little girl dressed and don't recognise some of the items of clothing we have bought. It may well be that she hooks into other interests, and that I will need to adapt to her rather than the other way around.In fact, I get the feeling all this is more about me than her. Edited by Andy Robertson Comments There's every chance that by the age of three she'll want everything in her room to be pink, and be begging you to buy her a Barbie doll. Or she might be like me, and when she gets bought a doll's pram her first thought will be how long she has to keep it before she'll be allowed to take the wheels off and make a go-kart. (Turns out the answer was Never - it was an expensive gift so it got handed on.)There's also every chance that she'll love pink stuff, and love barbie, learn to code, and write a barbie-related dressing up game in whatever has replaced Flash by the time she's twelve.All three of them will be into stuff you can't get your head around at some point. I bet there are examples where your boys are already, you just don't focus on them because you don't think of them as alien. They'll all be who they're going to be. Don't stress over it. jools Apr 26th 2011 I am a mum with an 8 year old daughter along with 14 and 15 year old boys when she was born I was terrified I did not and at times still do not know how to handle girls. Yes she loves her pink and her dancing along with cheer, hip hop and gymnastics, but she also loves (which her brothers do not) Scifi, she is obsessed with Dr Who and sobbed at the death of the Doctor at the weekend, she has box sets of the Sarah Jane Adventures and loves space and aliens. Believe me I tried for years to interest my sons in the delights of Star Wars and dont even mention Star Trek to them. When my sons were younger I spent Saturdays with WWE, I could play a mean game of Power Rangers and Pokemon when necessary. What I am trying to say is enjoy the person each child becomes, they all surprise you in the end. Jane Apr 26th 2011 I have two girls (5 and 3) and no boys. I like to think my geek influences serve to counteract all the pink princess influences they're exposed to. They're both a bit princess obsessed, but last weekend I showed my five year old the third in the Star Wars Trilogy (THERE ARE ONLY THREE STAR WARS FILMS) and she loved it.She does call Dr Who's nemeses 'The Garlics', but I think that's just to annoy me. Stephen KT Apr 26th 2011 Thanks for the advice and thoughts, all very gratefully received. A bit worried about the possibly overwhelming influence of the colour pink but reassured about her possible future likes and tastes. Will certainly try not to stress and these posts will help. Will also let you know when she arrives. Due on Royal Wedding day...! Stuart Apr 26th 2011 I have two girls, one of them is barely a toddler but my eldest is four years old and there's pretty much nothing in the world she loves more than Doctor Who, although Batman comes close. She's also showing some real promise at Blur on the 360. Well, she can crash into things, not so hot on the steering yet, but we've all gotta learn.If my youngest turns out to be more of a "girly girl" then... so what? I didn't have kids to shape them into miniature versions of myself, and I don't feel that they need to be into the same cultural pursuits as I before I can "get" them. I think you're being paranoid about something that likely won't come to pass and, even if it does, you've invented some pretty wild connotations. If I were you, I'd just enjoy having another child.Genuinely though, what I find most perplexing about this article is the characterisation of gaming & genre television as particularly male pursuits, when literally every single woman I know is quite partial to both those things. It's 2011, man. The treehouse became unisex a while ago. Jamie Trinca Apr 26th 2011 In reply to Jamie Trinca Jamie, you are quite right and apologies if the piece came across as approaching a caricature of male/female likes, behaviours etc. I was really trying to comment on my own worries having always lived in male dominated environments, my own lack of skills, rather than assigning behaviours to our children. I have no doubt our daughter, when she arrives, will put me right (and rightly so as well)!

I have 2 brothers, and a sister. My sister was into the usual 'pink' stuff, but back in the 80s we found common ground on the Commodore 64, playing 'Druid', 'Bubble Bobble' and 'Wizball' together. All 3 games were made for cooperative play, and appealing to both sexes. Gabe McGrath May 2nd 2011 Hello Stuart,Its tough being a parent and a great read is 'Families and how to survive them' by Dr Robin Skynner and John Cleese as they advise being a 'just good enough parent' - a very healthy approach. Kids are just amazing and grow up in spite of our own interests! We just need to provide them with the right 'tools' for life.

Another morning, another sunrise, another day of beards growing. Some of ya'll probably have animals, some of you don't and some of y'all probably would let a pet die two days in. I have animals, two cats and one dog. That's not enough, I want more. I love animals, I love to watch animals. My psychologically educated driven answer to this love of animals, I believe, is the natural beardedness of animals.
I have had a love for loving animals since I could remember. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the country, where cats and dogs adopted your home and we obliged by accepting and feeding them. There was no, "take this dog/cat to the pound and let's hope someone adopts it." No, that animal showed up and we accepted with open arms. I know to this day, the town I grew up in, McBee, South Carolina, people still behave in this manner.
My animal's personalities are awesome. They make me laugh on a daily basis. One thing I am good at is poking fun, or as my wife calls it "acting like a damn child". Anyone who knows me and especially people who grew up with me know very well what I am talking about. Picking on people is a way to show their love, mainly in the country. By "in the country" I mean the South, us Southerners. Southerners will pick on you five minutes in to meeting you. That is a good thing people! For shy folks, its a great ice breaker that is so uncomfortable they feel really not comfortable at all. But, the introduction process is quick, easy, and requires little work for the shy.
Back to fun with cats and other unsuspecting animals that know it's coming because they aren't stupid, but know they have nowhere to hide. We have two cats, Missy and Brutus. They were adopted from the pound in Chapel Hill, NC back in 2004.
Missy is the cat on the right.
I grew up with cats, and these are the only cats I have ever had that hate to be held. Literally, H A T E it! They are easier to contain in a bathtub full of water, than just trying to hold them. Pick Brutus up and it feels like you are trying to hold onto a 6×6 piece of wood.
If you know anything about cats, you know they are some of the most paranoid creatures on earth. Well, I know this and I love to strengthen their paranoia and reaction time by having routine practices in the art of recognition and evasion. I love to chase the cats around the house. Stoney, the lab, loves it too. It's awesome. We chase the kitty cats, they get all freaked out and like most cats they lose all reasoning abilities. They usually run until they corner themselves, then cower down and wait for me to come pick them up. I then take them to the bed so they can get their post workout nap in.
Missy, the little grey cat, is the worst cat I have ever seen in my entire life. To be clear, she is the worst cat at being a cat. She lacks most of the qualities that make cats, catlike. She can't jump. Every time she attempts a jump, it's a fail. She falls. She has no idea how to play. GIve her a toy and she swats at it oh so gingerly, once it's out of arms length, she's done.
Yesterday was my Baby Gurr's 2nd birthday. She turned two years old. This coming weekend we will celebrate. She is now old enough to begin gardening, raking leaves, scooping poop out the back yard and weeding. All these will begin being taught on Friday.

On June 27th we hosted our own, exclusive Latte Art Smackdown. And by "Smackdown", we mean competition. And by exclusive, we really mean bring your friends, babies and dogs. I think the name and concept of the Smackdown is traditional within the industry, as you'll find baristas having Smackdowns throughout the year, most often during Regional Barista Competitions. In any event, our Smackdown was great and we've got the pictures to prove it!
For the first round, our baristas brought their own vessel, which is to say they brought a unique object that could, to some capacity, house a latte. Basically anything concave would do.
Robbie, the manager of our Snoqualmie store went first, pouring his latte into a mug shaped like a toilet. Insert bad porcelain toilet joke here.
Moving on, we see Assistant Manager Ann pour her lattes into a bra. As you would imagine, pouring steamed milk with both hands simultaneously isn't the easiest of tasks. While she didn't make it into the final round, I think it's safe to assume that Ann at least got asked out on a date by some impressed onlooker.
Here we see one of our newer baristas Ashley smiling fondly at her attempt within a cut-in-half soccer ball.
Next we see Assistant Manager Frey steaming milk for her pour into a mannequin hand. Clever girl. Look how hard she's concentrating! That's what we like to see out of our management team.
Here we see Brett from our Production staff showing off his pour into a pineapple. Nice overalls.
This latte, poured by Assistant Manager Carrollann, was definitely one of the coolest lattes of the evening! I'm not friends with Carrollann because she's nice. I'm friends with Carrollann because she can pour rosettas into books with their pages cut out in the shape of hearts.
Here we see Jason, our Wholesale/Customer Service Man of the Hour pouring a latte into his beloved frisbee.
After round one, our fine judges chose five baristas to move on to the final round. Our three person judging team consisted of Jeff, Zoka Owner/Beer and Snack Sponsor, Maki San, the 2007 second place winner of the Northwest Regional Barista Competition, and coffee oracle Jodi, the newest addition to our Administration Team/Financial guru.
With many impressive rosetta and heart designs, Matt from our University Store claimed first place and the substantial cash prize of something between 14 and 18 dollars.
Congratulations Matt!
Don't spend your all your winnings in one place, unless you're buying a quarter tank of gas.
Thanks for reading and cheers to lattes poured into inanimate objects.

Imaginative food and a warm welcome await at this 300-year old thatched country pub and restaurant 2 km (1 mile) south of Birr, just off the N62 Roscrea road. Inexpensive meals are available at lunchtime (Fri.–Sun. only) and early evening (4 to 7:30); later at night, the restaurant offers a choice of a five-course dinner menu or an à la carte menu. Pigeon and rabbit terrines, loin of pork and sirloin steaks with mushrooms in garlic sauce vie for diners' attention with more exotic dishes such as kangaroo and locally farmed ostrich. The pub is run by Des Connole who brings a long pedigree since he is the sixth generation of his family to own it.

Love and Life > Divorce, Breakups and Makeups > Articles
When do you stay? When should you leave?
Sometimes the following happens in relationships: you are dating someone that you like and they like you too. Unfortunately, you don't feel your relationship is progressing towards the long-term commitment that you desire. You may have begun to wonder what clues to look for that will help you decide to either further invest in the relationship, or allow you to create a graceful exit strategy so you can begin dating new people.
Here are five areas to consider before making any decision:
Deeper FeelingsYou have been dating for awhile, but are no closer to knowing your partner's deeper feelings about you than you were when you went on your first date.
Relationships that are going moving forward will also progress on the emotional level. Within a month or two, you should be discussing just how much you like each other and the things that make the other especially fascinating or simpatico. If there are no talks like this, you should be concerned that you are with someone who doesn't see your uniqueness and appreciate you. It could be your partner is intentionally being very careful not to create more intimacy between the two of you which would further expand the relationship.
Good ConversationsQuite a bit of time has passed and you have been only going out to movies or events and never seem to have quiet, long, and intimate time together.
Some people are just great fun to be with, and there is just one fun or exciting event after another. No problem, that's wonderful if you are in the relationship primarily for good companionship and entertainment. But, if you are seeking something deeper and you realize that you are not spending any quiet time talking about your relationship or your future together this might be intentional on the part of your partner. If you find your questions about the relationship are going unanswered or seem intentionally side-stepped, it's not an accident. And it's definitely time to move on.
Lack of Physical AffectionQuite a bit of time has passed and there is no real physical affection.
After three or four dates - sometimes, right away! - you should want to kiss each other, and pretty passionately too! If there is no chemistry percolating between you both, the future is unlikely to create it. Conversely, if you are already having intimate relationships but there isn't a lot of hand holding or spontaneous touching each other, then maybe that the relationship is - for the lack of a better term -- all about sex which is simply not enough if you are looking for a long-term successful relationship!
Time to Get Exclusive
You think it's time that you both should be exclusive and the other person says they are not ready.
Hmm... not an optimistic forecast for the future is it? Sure, you can't (and shouldn't) ask for exclusivity in the very beginning of a relationship, but if one of you is pressing for exclusivity and the other person backs away, so be it. It's important you know where you stand in the relationship than forge ahead with false expectation that you will change the mind of another.
Courtesy and Respect
You are smitten. You can't think about anyone else. Ultimately, when you are in that condition, you can't effectively observe how you are being treated.
Are you being called as much as you call? Do you do nice things for your new sweetheart, and do they reciprocate? Exactly how balanced or one-sided is this relationship? If, unfortunately, it's you who is doing all the leg work, you need to end the relationship sooner rather than later! Hanging on is never a good idea when you are in love and that love is not returned. It's time to protect your heart. Remember, if someone misses you, they will find you. But if you leave, and no one follows, it's time to find someone new.
None of these 5 areas are foolproof, however, the more specific and clear you are in setting your expectations the more successful you will be in your new relationship! I often tell people that love cannot be manufactured. At PerfectMatch.com, our members are looking for someone special and it's important to keep looking until you find true love. Your perfect match it out there, and together, we'll find them!

Knitting has always been a part of Woolly Lamb Yarn Studio owner Brigitte Biver's life.
Brigitte learned to knit, crochet and sew at the young age of eight, a requirement in the primary school of Arlingerschule, in Pforzheim, Germany. And although the samples hanging in the studio today were lovingly made by Brigitte, in the early years, knitting was the worst of all of her subjects! Uninterested in both knitting stockings and enduring the stern personality of her 'old-fashioned' knitting teacher, Brigitte reluctantly kept with knitting and created nearly twenty sweaters for herself by the time she was 18-years old.
Since her rocky start with needles and wool, Brigitte has embraced the knitting lifestyle and shares her love and knowledge of the craft with each and every customer that crosses the studio's threshold. A fearless knitter herself, Brigitte has nurtured a group of beginner-level knitters from creating their first scarves to making complex garments in the six years since she opened the studio.
"Brigitte is an exceptional teacher. She never loses her patience and will explain and show you how to do a stitch as many times as necessary until you know it!" – Eleanor, Evanston, IL
With classes ranging from Basic Beginners Knit and Crochet to Mastering Entrelac and Racy, Lacy Lingerie, The Woolly Lamb Yarn Studio offers Chicago-area yarn enthusiasts a variety of classes to enrich their skills and keep their projects diverse. Classes for children, minus the staunch German instructor of Brigitte's youth, are also available.
Beyond offering extensive classes and an enviable in-store knowledge base, Brigitte stocks a variety of well-known yarns and is known locally for having the full line of MaggiKnits yarns and patterns. Patrons can find Bergere de France, Dream in Color, Lorna's Laces, Cascade, Jade Sapphire, Berocco, Plymouth and Crystal Palace yarns among the amply-stocked bins in the studio. The Woolly Lamb also carries a variety of baby alpaca, basic worsteds, novelty yarns, fine Mongolian cashmere, Dill buttons and an endless supply of patterns, books and knitting accessories to suit both novice and advanced knitters.
The Woolly Lamb Yarn studio is located at 6007 N. Nina Avenue in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago.

Robert W. McKnight: Florida delegation deserves more political clout in Washington
During the past two years, Florida's 25 members of Congress enjoyed extraordinary political clout — ranging from chair of the National Democratic Party to chairs of two of the most important committees in the U.S. House of Representatives, Foreign Affairs and Transportation.
The expectations for the Florida delegation in 2013-14 was for even more clout — two new members were added on the House side, and the delegation's senior senator was re-elected.
But now that committee assignments have been announced, the Florida delegation will be enjoying less, not more, clout.
The delegation does not boast even one chair of the seven most important committees in the House — Financial Services, Judiciary, Transportation, Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, Administration or Rules.
The same dismal result occurs with the Senate — no chairs from Florida on any of the five most important committees — Appropriations, Budget, Energy and Natural Resources, Foreign Relations and Homeland Security-Governmental Affairs.
If we then move over to the executive branch, there is not a single Floridian sitting in President Barack Obama's cabinet.
In evaluating what appears to be a serious political slight, it is ironic to recall that both presidential candidates — Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney — went to great lengths to emphasize the importance of Florida to their election, and how appreciative they would be to the Sunshine State if they were able to carry it. President Obama won the election with the key support of Florida, but perhaps forgot the appreciation part.
So, with this discouraging outlook for our delegation in 2013, let's look at what we do have in the Capitol:
Senate: Sen. Bill Nelson will largely continue on his previous committees, while Sen. Marco Rubio is fighting the temptation to start his race for president in 2016. Neither is considered part of the Senate leadership.
House: Chairwoman of the Democratic Party Debbie Wasserman-Schultz gets a lot of press, but with it generating questionable benefit to the state or her South Florida district. Congressman Alcee Hastings and Congresswoman Corrine Brown remain actively involved with the Black Caucus, but again with that caucus generating questionable direct benefits to Florida and their districts.
Republican chairpersons Bill Young (of a major appropriations subcommittee), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Foreign Affairs) and John Mica (Transportation) will continue to have a major influence on committee legislation, but without the absolute authority of being chairs. Perhaps most promising is the seniority advancement of Republicans Ander Crenshaw and Dennis Ross, as potential chairs of major committees in the future.
These disappointing committee assignments and absence of Cabinet appointments for the Florida delegation in Washington should not go without response. The leadership of the delegation should confer with the chairs of the two Florida political parties to develop a solid, bipartisan list of nominees. These individuals should be submitted to the leaders in Congress and the president for immediate consideration to be appointed to positions of leadership.
Nothing less should be expected for what is becoming the third largest state in the country.

Louisville, KY (August 23, 2012) – On Thursday morning $300,000 was raised for local charities at the 48th Kentucky Country Ham Breakfast and Auction, sponsored by Kentucky Farm Bureau. The ham auction completed the morning festivities that included appearances by local and state officials and speeches by Kentucky Farm Bureau President Mark Haney, Governor Steve Beshear, U.S. Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer.
The blue-ribbon winning ham was raised by Leslie Scott of Scott Farms in Greenville, Ky. and weighed in at 17 pounds, 16 ounces. Dr. Mark Lynn of Mark Lynn & Associates paid $300,000 for the country ham. Dr. Lynn announced that the donation would be given to the University of Louisville, Visually Impaired Preschool Services and Eastern Area Community Ministries. He also indicated that the grand champion ham would go to Wayside Christian Mission.
Since its inception in 1964, the Kentucky Farm Bureau has helped raise more than $6.5 million dollars for charity. 2010's auction tipped the scales and record books with a record-setting $1.6 million winning bid by Bernard Trager, Chairman of Republic Bank and Trust, and Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, owner of Dr. Bizer's Vision World.

Joe Cornish To Adapt Rust
Writer/director will take on Roydon Lepp's graphic novel.
We continue to watch Attack the Block writer/director Joe Cornish's next moves with interest, and with the recent news that he is set to take on an adaptation of the cult novel Snow Crash, The Hollywood Reporter write that yet another project has been added to the filmmaker's slate.
Graphic novel Rust, created by Roydon Lepp, is about a future Earth, devastated by war between robotic warriors. One farming family are scratching out a living, but come under threat when a mysterious, jetpack wearing boy arrives, pursued by a huge mech.
Aline Brosh McKenna, of The Devil wears Prada and We Bought a Zoo, had previously been brought in to write the script, and is still on board as a producer. It's not clear yet whether Cornish will have a crack at the screenplay himself, but with his screenwriting form, we wouldn't be surprised if he himself will polish it off, or whether he will find somebody else for the job.
There's no word yet as to whether this will come before Snow Crash, but both sound like good prospects, so we will keep our ears close to the ground.

One of the founding tenets of ACL was to give a voice to the little guys, to the under appreciated things that perform a great service everyday without any recognition. It is with this in mind that I turn your attention to one of the world's greatest and often overlooked roadways, the General Pulaski Skyway, the world's first "super highway." ACL has a rich tradition of highlighting some of the tri-state's greatest roadways (not really but it amuses me to say things like this), the Merritt Parkway comes to mind as a perennial favorite. In truth, ACL doesn't really cover highways very often because it is a pretty random concept. It turns out that this is really only the second such post on a road, and many would argue that the Pulaski Skyway is overlooked for a reason, or a whole host of reasons.
While everyone can agree that the Merritt Parkway is a fun and scenic road to drive, the Pulaski Skyway is probably a tougher sell. I have been literally wondering about the hulking iron structure since the first time I took the three and a half mile trip through the North Jersey industrial corridor and on across the Hackensack and Passaic rivers. I fly out of Newark's Liberty International airport often, which is a trip that requires a journey over the Pulaski Skyway. Almost every run-in with the Pulaski has led me to say to myself: "I need to do some research on this strange series of bridges and elevated highways that carries me through the swamps and across this North Jersey industrial battlefield." I'm strange, I know.

Industry News: Caroll Shelby Passes Away At Age 89
Posted 11 May 2012 - 02:44 PM
Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com
May 11, 2012
Automotive legend Caroll Shelby passed away last night at the age of 89 after a lengthy illness at the Baylor Hospital in Dallas, TX.
Shelby's shadow extended nearly across automotive world. In the fifties, Shelby was a highly accomplished racer. He would win three U.S. sports-car championships, the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, and set land speed records at Bonneville. However, a heart condition in 1960 would cause him to stop racing.
But that didn't stop Shelby. During the sixties, Shelby would be known for building the Shelby Cobra and his partnership with Ford, building the Shelby GT350 and GT500 Mustangs. Racing would still be a big part of Shelby's work as Daytona Cobras and GT40s terrorized Ferrari, Porsche, and Jaguar on their own turf.
In the eighties, Shelby would hook up with Chrysler to produce a number of specialty cars and trucks, including the Onmi GLH and GLHS.
Beyond that Shelby grew his business into a "skunkworks," doing research and development for auto companies. In 2005, Shelby and Ford buried the hatchet from a disagreement in the seventies and would work together once again building high performance Mustangs.
However it wasn't always good times for Shelby. He made some shaky business deals, held grudges, and would go to court over trademarks with Ford, AC Cars (Ironically) and Cobra replicar manufacturers Superformance International, Inc. and Factory Five, Inc.
But the most inspirational and remarkable fact about Caroll Shelby's life was how hard he worked with his heart condition. That would land him with a heart transplant in 1990. Six years after the heart, he would get a kidney transplant from his son.
In a statement released today by Shelby American, President Joe Conway said,
"We are all deeply saddened, and feel a tremendous sense of loss for Carroll's family, ourselves and the entire automotive industry. There has been no one like Carroll Shelby and never will be. However, we promised Carroll we would carry on, and he put the team, the products and the vision in place to do just that."

I was honored to get cused out by him once when the order for his cylinder heads were delayed. His temper was as spicy as his chili. My dad got to meet him at work in better conditions at Goodyear and my dad really did not know much about him but said he was a very good guy and straight shooter in their meeting.
He will be missed.
I was thinking when I learned of his recent illness how many of our great racers and owners are all getting to that age where we will not get to have them around much longer. Treasure the Jr Johnsons, Penskes and Jim Halls while you can.

Rest in Peace, Cowboy.
also don't forget the biggest thing he did with Chrysler:
It was probably the closest Shelby--or anybody for that matter--came to recreating the iconicity of the original Cobra.

Week 11 Game Preview: San Diego Chargers @ Chicago Bears
The San Diego Chargers (4-5) and the Chicago Bears (6-3) will meet for 11th time ever later today at Solider Field. The series between the two teams is tied at five.
The Bears have never lost a game to the Chargers at Soldier Field. The Chargers beat the Bears in their last meeting in 2007 at Qualcomm Field, 14-3.
Expect temperatures in the mid-40's and winds at around 16 mph.
The Bears have won four straight games and have averaged 32 points during that stretch.
They took down the Lions last Sunday at Soldier Field 37-13 and forcing six turnovers in the victory.
The Bears are a perfect 3-0 this season when its defense scores a touchdown. They have reeled in four interceptions in of their last three games.
Unfortunately they will be without starting nickelback D.J. Moore, who suffered an ankle injury in practice, so Corey Graham will start in his place.
San Diego comes to town on a four game losing streak heading in the total opposite direction then the Bears right now.
The Chargers have Ryan Mathews back and healthy, but the Bears have been doing a solid job stopping the run as of late. They've allowed a pedestrian 70.5 yards per game on the ground.
Earl Bennett again had a big game receiving last week, making him the focal point of the offense seems to be paying off.
He will be keyed in on today by the Chargers defense, which features former Bears linemen Antonio Garay and Tommie Harris.
It will be interesting to see what kind of welcoming Harris will get today at Soldier Field.
Despite being 4-5 this season, the Chargers are ranked pretty high statistically in the NFL. They rank 7th on offense (396.7 ypg) and 9th on defense (331.3 ypg).
The Chargers tend to get hot in November. They have won eight of their last 10 November games.
But the Chargers have been pretty bad on the road this season, posting a 1-3 record.
Key Questions:
Can Phillip Rivers play turnover-free football against the vicious Bears defense?
Can the Bears once again provide a solid pass rush?
Can receivers Johnny Knox or Roy Williams make a solid contribution in the passing game?
Is Corey Graham a good replacement for an injured D.J. Moore?
Players Who Must Step Up:
1) Corey Graham– This one is too obvious. He is replacing one of the fastest players on the Bears defense and perhaps one of the up and coming leaders. Graham hasn't started a game since the 2008 season, but he has been taking reps at nickelback the past couple of seasons. He should be ready to go in this one, expect a solid game from the special teams stud.
Prediction: Six tackles
2) Israel Idonije- The defensive end has three sacks through nine games this season. He hasn't had a sack since Week Six against the Vikings. He needs to step up, so he can take some pressure off Peppers and Co. It will be interesting to see if the Bears use newly signed veteran Chauncey Davis at all, Idonije doesn't want to lose his job to a newcomer.
Prediction: Three tackles, one sack.
3) Kellen Davis- He has only reeled in nine passes this season, but he has been a threat at times. Look for Cutler to check down to his tight ends at times, Davis being one of them. He could be looked for in the redzone today.
Prediction: Four catches, 43 yards, one touchdown.
Game Prediction:
Bears 23, Chargers 17.

PHILADELPHIA — "Double Take: Series, Multiples and Prints" opens at the University of Pennsylvania's Arthur Ross Gallery on Nov. 18.
Drawn from the Penn's diverse art collection, the exhibit features 58 prints, photographs, pastels and sculptures that explore issues of serialism and artistic process.
The earliest works in "Double Take" include Albrecht Dürer's Engraved Passion Series (1508-13) and two William Hogarth engravings from A Rake's Progress (1735).
It showcases several series of prints by 20th century artists such as Donald Judd, Henry Moore, Robert Motherwell, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg and James Rosenquist. These artists worked with master printers during the 1960s and '70s to create prints and multiples, making them affordable to more collectors. These prints were widely distributed and popular.
In celebration of Penn's Year of Games, two pieces in this exhibition stand out: Audrey Flack's Royal Flush (1975) and Salvador Dali's Ace of Diamonds (1971) capture the risk and chance of playing cards.
Special events include a gallery talk on printmaking with University faculty on Wednesday, Nov. 30, at 4:30 p.m. and "Game Night at the Gallery," Tuesday, Dec. 6, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served and attendees can participate in games and competitive matches of all sorts during this event, which is supported by the Year of Games and the Friends of the Arthur Ross Gallery.
"Double Take" runs through Jan. 15 and is the second in a series of collaborative exhibitions organized by the University's Office of the Curator and the Arthur Ross Gallery.
The Gallery is at 220 S. 34th St. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and weekends, noon-5 p.m.
The Gallery is free and open to the public.
Additional information is available at 215-898-2083 or www.upenn.edu/ARG.

The kids woke up this morning, asking if they could stay home. Two of them feigned coughs. One let loose on a wicked-sounding sniffle. Usually, my kids don't mind heading to school on a Friday, with a weekend full of fun waiting at the end of the day. But, today is an extra-special Friday because our Papa is coming into town for Labor Day. He's arriving around noon (right in the middle of the school day! Bah!), and not a single one of us can wait for his merry self to pull into the driveway.
We love when our Papa visits.
We especially love when our Papa visits for a long weekend, with the promise of Labor Day barbecuing and porch sitting evenings on the immediate horizon. Hurrah for holidays! Hurrah for Papa's! Without them, we'd always want to go to school on Fridays.
Are you cooking nice things over the weekend? Perhaps you'll be indulging in the Cheeky Kitchen Caribbean-Inspired Menu: Mango Chicken Salad, Cinnamon Tortilla Stars, and Sweet Potato & Pineapple Fruit Salad.
If traditional pinic fare is more up your alley, don't miss all the fun offerings I've posted over on Babble's The Family Kitchen this week. It's a full menu of don't-miss-'em-classics.

Lancaster in need of a victory on Friday
When Lancaster began the season 6-0, who would've thought we'd be writing a headline like that? But it is the truth. The Tigers have dropped two games in a row and face an underrated Terrell team on the road Friday.
In wild, competitive District 15-4A, 5-3 might not be a good enough district record to make the playoffs given that Mesquite Poteet and Waxahachie could finish 5-3 and beat the Tigers. That means Lancaster, the team that appeared to be the favorite to win not long ago, needs to win against Terrell on Friday and then again against Red Oak next week to guarantee a playoff berth.

Having reached a limit to the comedy that can be wrung from robot chickens, Seth Green and Matthew Seinreich have branched out to the realm of stoopid monkeys, as it is a scientific fact that stoopid monkeys are 71% more entertaining than regular monkeys and 412% funnier than chickens, robotic or otherwise.
Stoopid Monkey will exist as a stop-motion/live-action project similar to Robot Chicken, but streaming on YouTube rather than the latter's Cartoon Network venue. Starting on July 15, Stoopid Monkey will air two new episodes every Friday for ten weeks.
Trying to describe the premise of the show is an exercise in futility, as it is with Robot Chicken. "Lots of stop-motion characters do a bunch of stuff, much of it funny." That's about as clear as it's going to get. You want to know what it's about? The episodes are like 15 minutes long. Watch one.

Dat Oven
Icy Lake
Available To Order (Estimated Shipping between 1-3 Working Days)
This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately
For the 1st time, sibling labels Night Slugs and Fade 2 Mind join forces to present a reissue of DAT Oven's darkside tribal banger 'Icy Lake' (1998), backed with killer re-swerves by Total Freedom, L-Vis, and DJ Rashad & NA. The original was recently rediscovered by Fade 2 Mind's LA captain Total Freedom and could hardly be a better fit for current dancefloor aesthetics with its uncannily Eski-ish hook, welting drums and tracky Chicago stabs. Also factor in that plain weird answer phone message motif and you've got a straight ace, whatever the weather. Remixing, Night Slug L-Vis 1990 knocks the groove outta shape for a ruder, Ballroom-style sound and a fierce, industrialised Freestyle version; Total Freedom impresses as ever with an amazing distillation of hardcore dynamics and futurist techno; Chicago's Rashad & NA do a fractious Footwork number on it. Big on the 'floor!

PHOTOS: Check out this bikini bike wash that helped raise money for the Ronald McDonald House!
(CNN) -- There is an unusual warning for male skinny dippers in Scandanavia. Wildlife officials say they should watch out for an invasive species of fish that is infamous for biting testicles!
A fisherman discovered it recently in the Danish-Swedish Strait of Øresund. It's called a pacu and it is native to South America.
Experts with the Natural History Museum of Denmark say it's unclear how the fish wound up in the strait. Pacu fish are generally considered the vegetarian cousins of the piranha.
They are known for crushing nuts with their powerful jaws, and experts say they can sometimes mistake the male reproductive organs for their favorite snack.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) exists to find the cure for type 1 diabetes and is the world's leading charitable provider of funds for type 1 diabetes research.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life-threatening condition and people living with type 1 diabetes rely on multiple daily insulin injections or pump infusions just to stay alive, until we find the cure. Type 1 diabetes currently affects about 350,000 people in the UK, over 25,000 of whom are children. Incidences are increasing by 4% each year, particularly in children under five, with a five-fold increase in this age group in the last 20 years.
JDRF raises money to drive world-class research to prevent, treat and cure type 1 diabetes. For 30 years it has been fundamentally involved in the delivery of advances in this field; seeking out, assessing and monitoring the best science to drive the breakthroughs that improve management of type 1 and will ultimately cure the condition.
The charity also recognises the challenges of living with type 1 diabetes and advocates to ensure the condition is fully understood. It also provides information for families affected by the condition, schools and young people encouraging them to become directly involved in supporting research for the cure.
"It's upsetting, to say the least, when your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, as Yvette was aged just four. All you want is for someone to come up with a cure – and fast. I support JDRF because of its upbeat and positive approach to the condition. They tirelessly work to aid research, raising funds in new and imaginative ways, even challenging the Government to move things forward. Best of all, JDRF is wholly committed to 'being in it for the kids'. They speak their language, help them understand the issues involved, and make them feel special – which they undoubtedly are."
Chris Loukes,
Daughter Yvette diagnosed aged four

first it was the da vinci code..... now dota...
this was posted in friendster. and i personally thought it was pretty lame..
Saturday, 3 June, 2006 8:31 AM
the TRUTH behind DOTA...t'was jst emailed to me...
Dota defense of the ancients
ANCIENT question: who is ancient?
answer: God but
satan disguises himself and deceives us, saying
that He is the Ancient one.
who would you think you will defend on this
whose defense is this? (with those cheats and
verbal acknowledgements.. later to be discussed)
the obvious aims:
-to kill your enemy, to destroy the tree of life for
sentinel, to destroy the frozen throne for scourge,
and TO BE BEYOND GODLIKE in this game.
the real aims:
- worshipping satan through consciously enjoying
the game.
- because this game is extremely a deception
satan and you are actually enjoying it.
There are tow bases or teams:
Sentinel vs.
Good one
dark evil
- This is used to become stronger
- But actually this cheat pertains to
admittance that your father indeed is satan.
- To have more money
- In Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 "Those who love
money will never have enough,, the more you
have.. the more people come to help you spend
- It feeds your mind that it's fine to love
money because you need it.
- This allows you to see the map
- The truth behind is that, spiritually the
players and those who are involved are dead; they
don't have real life for they are being used by
to praise him through this game. Dead people!
Verbal acknowledgements:
- OMG (Oh my God) The Bible states, "do
not use the name of the Lord in vain!"
- BULLSHIT and HOLYSHIT need not to
- God job / Good work when you killed
somebody you are being congratulated with a
job or good work.
At the dawn of April 17, 2006, my brother
(REYVON VALENTINE) dreamt of 2 dreams. First,
dreamt that Jesus is showing how evil dota is,
he woke up and blurted out: "ayoko na magdota!"
he fell asleep again and had his second dream, he
was talking with a friend who in real life doesn't
want to play dota anymore, when my brother
blurted out once again, "ayoko na magdota!", a
man came near to him and laid hands cursing my
brother. When they rebuked it in Jesus name, it
disappeared. Then, when he shouted "hindi na ako
magdodota kahit kailan!" Crystal Maiden (one of
those unpleasing character in dota) appeared in
my brother and he told us that it felt like he
couldn't breathe, my brother rebuked it in Jesus
name and told to it, "hindi na ako magpapabitag
iyo, I belong to Jesus!" Then he woke up and ran
downstairs. He told everything to us and prayed
him. My father helped him renounce it and right
after he surrendered he puked, and we brought
to hospital. But our family claimed that Jesus is
victorious and satan will never win. He had a
testimony about his dream the Sunday after he
experienced it, after he the witness, those who
involved in dota were prayed for.
Note: Akala ng lahat laro lang dota, pero si Satan
hindi nakikipaglaro. He is using dota to pollute
minds of our youth.
Ephesians 4:27
Don't give devil a chance! If you ignore this, it's
your own risk.
This is the TRUTH. Do not be blind and do not
harden your heart.
If Jesus would play DOTA would He enjoy it?
Then, what would Jesus play?
What would Jesus choose?
a message posted by my friend at
friendster.. i'm not afraid to say that i believe in this
mail..satan deceives us through a lot of things..you
think it's just a game, but it's not! satan would do
evrything to deceive us, because right from the
start he knows that he was already defeated by
Jesus by His blood that was shed on the cross at
the Mount of Calvary.. satan was defeated
thousands of years ago & he wants someone to be
with him at the 2nd coming of Christ wherein he
would be thrown in the lake of fire together with his
fallen angels.satan is an "ANGEL OF DECEIT!"
ok. so i'm not taking anything out from the message except the names. if you need the translation for the testimony part, maybe i'll translate it later or somebody else can. i respect GOD and i am a Christian myself but these are just unreasonable claims. some have legitimate reasons and the verses taken are as good as it can be. but still it was not used in a right way of reasoning. but thats all just IMHO.
feel free to criticize.

I finally saw Grenn Lantern, not as bad as I expected.

Re: I finally saw Grenn Lantern, not as bad as I expected.
Lots of problems with the Green Lantern movie, but the main one is quite simple.
Hal's big character arc in the movie is about him taking half the movie to decide whether or not he wants to be a hero and accept the cool superpowers he has been given.
Hollywood, wake up! We don't care about people struggling with becoming a super hero. Boohoo, I'm a brilliant well paid handsome man, with his pick of women and a cool job, and now I have superpowers?! Man life is hard! That is the type of silly melodrama that made 10 years of Smallville a snooze.
When your big character arc is someone deciding whether or not to do something that we already know he is going to do, it is lazy and poor writing. But worst of all, it is boring. There is no tension, no dramatic pacing, it is just a matter of whenever the script gets around to letting the character make a decision that the audience had made an hour ago.
