LOS ANGELES, Calif.---The Bruins will enjoy a brief 30-hour stopover in Los Angeles this week between arriving from Honolulu on Tuesday morning at 5:40 a.m., and taking off for Notre Dame at 12:30 p.m. the following day. Once UCLA arrives in South Bend, they will take on three more teams that appear in the AVCA/USA Today poll in Nebraska, Michigan State and host Notre Dame.
By the time this weekend's trip is completed and the Bruins have returned home to Westwood, the team will have completed 14,140 air miles since departing for the State Farm Women's Volleyball Classic on Aug. 23.
UCLA Earns Runner-Up Finish in Hawaii: UCLA opened Labor Day weekend with a quick 3-0 win over Iowa, a match in which Kristee Porter, Ashley Bowles and Elisabeth Bachman each posted double-figure kills with 17, 11 and 10, respectively. As a team, the Bruins posted more service aces than errors for the first time this season.
Following a day off, the Bruins returned to the court on Sunday to face off against No. 19 Texas A&M. In that victory, Porter set a new UCLA record for kills in a four-game match with 33, hitting .483 in the process. Junior setter Erika Selsor posted her ninth career 70-assist match in the win, while Bowles and Porter tied with a match-high three aces.
The featured match of the tournament once again became the Championship match. On Monday night in front of 7,687 fans, the Bruins lost a three-game match to Hawai'i, despite a 23-kill night from Porter
Porter Named Pac-10 Player of the Week: Not only did Kristee Porter's performance at the Hawaiian Airlines Classic earn her tournament MVP honors, but on Tuesday, the Pac-10 Conference named Porter its first Player of the Week of the season. For the weekend in Hawaii, Porter accumulated 73 kills for a 7.30 per-game average, and finished with 73K-17E-133TA for an attack percentage of .421. She also had four service aces and seven blocks in the three matches, and in Sunday's match against Texas A&M, she set a new UCLA record with 33 kills in a four-game match. Adidas Invitational
Adding another 4,000+ miles to an already impressive preseason travelouge, the Bruins turn eastward this weekend, and will face off against three ranked teams at the Adidas Invitational, hosted by Notre Dame. In addition to the third-ranked Bruins, the tournament will feature No. 4 Nebraska, No. 16 Michigan State and No. 22 Notre Dame. UCLA holds the all-time series lead against Michigan State thanks to a 1972 win, while the Huskers lead the all-time series by a 4-2 margin. The Bruins and Fighting Irish have never met on the volleyball court.
Bruins Lose Eckmier to Torn ACL: Junior middle blocker Angela Eckmier suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee on Monday, Aug. 14, while the team was in Mammoth, CA, for pre-season double day workouts. She will be lost to the Bruins for all of the 2000 season. Eckmier is scheduled to have surgery on the knee on Sept. 7.
Head Coach Andy Banachowski:In his 34th season on the Bruin bench, UCLA head coach Andy Banachowski remains one of the top coaches in his profession. On Oct. 24, 1997, he was the first women's volleyball coach to be inducted into the National Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, MA, and was the first women's coach in history to record 800 career wins (876-206, .810). Additionally, Banachowski was honored with USA Volleyball's All-Time Great Coach award last May in Columbus, OH. Under Banachowski's leadership, the Bruins have won six national championships, including three NCAA titles.
Criss-Crossing the Country:If you think that Presidential Candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore are logging a lot of miles on the campaign trail, just take a look at the Bruins schedule during the first month of the season.
UCLA departed Westwood on Aug. 23 for Gainesville, FL (round-trip of approx. 4,850 miles) before heading to Honolulu for the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic (round-trip: 5,100 miles) and going back east for the Adidas Invitational in South Bend, IN (round-trip: 4,190 miles). The month concludes with a Pac-10 road trip to the Bay Area schools, a comparitively miniscule 760 mile round-trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Along the way, UCLA will face off against seven teams that appeared in the AVCA's poll at match time.
Total mileage for the Bruins between the start of the season and Oct. 1? Approximately 14,900 miles.
The Nation's Toughest Schedule?:Considering both mileage traveled and the teams being played, the Bruins could very well have the nation's toughest schedule in 2000. The only team in the AVCA/USA Today top-nine that UCLA does not play is No. 2 Long Beach State. Seven of UCLA's first eight matches are against top-25 teams.
Bruins Top Pac-10 Preseason Poll: In a vote of the Pac-10's coaches, the Bruins were chosen as the preseason favorite to take home the Pac-10 crown. UCLA earned all nine possible votes, as coaches are not allowed to include their own team on their preseason ballot. UCLA topped the poll with 90 points and nine first-place votes, followed by Stanford (78 points, one first place vote), USC (74), Arizona (70), Arizona State (56), Cal (42), Washington State (39), Oregon State (38), Washington (35) and Oregon (18). UCLA has not captured an outright Pac-10 women's volleyball title since the 1993 season, although the Bruins did share the 1999 title with Stanford.
Career Updates: Many Bruins continue to move up on the school's career lists. Last year, Kristee Porter became the second-fastest person in NCAA history and 16th Bruin to record 1,000 career kills, doing so in her 50th career match. Her 1,327 kills is 12th-best in Bruin history and is tops among the Pac-10's active players. She needs 38 more kills to take over 11th place on UCLA's all-time list. Senior middle blocker Elisabeth Bachman is now ranked in all three of UCLA's career block categories with 95 block solos (4th), 374 block assists (5th) and 469 total blocks (5th), and ranks at the top of the list among active Pac-10 players in total blocks. With 3,294 career assists, sophomore setter Erika Selsor leads the Pac-10 list of active setters, and is fourth-best in Bruin history.
Porter Points:Player of the Year candidate Kristee Porter opened the 2000 season by becoming the first player this year to record 30 kills in a match, and has now accomplished the feat twice ??Porter now has 10 career 30-kill matches, topping Natalie Williams and Liz Masakayan (seven each) for the Pac-10 and UCLA career lead in that category ??Her 10th career 30-kill match was a 33-kill performance against Texas A&M that set a new UCLA record for kills in a four-game match ??Her 31 kills against Pepperdine in the 1999 NCAA Central Regional Semifinal tied the UCLA record for a three-game match, set by Natalie Williams vs. Florida on 12/17/92. For more information on Kristee Porter, please refer to pages 20-21 of the UCLA media guide.
Westwood's "Wiz": Elisabeth Bachman: In 1999, middle blocker Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman posted a .429 attack percentage that ranked second in the NCAA and smashed the previous Pac-10 and school record mark of .416, set by Natalie Williams in 1992. En route to that final number, Bachman posted eight error-free matches and a .938 match of 15K-0E-16TA that set a new UCLA record and is third-best in NCAA history. That match, against Washington in Pauley Pavilion on Oct. 28, was the second in a string of 11 consecutive matches in which Bachman posted a hitting percentage of .450 or higher. Bachman earned her nickname of "Wiz" at the age of two, when a childhood friend couldn't pronounce an "L", turning "Liz" into "Wiz." For more information on All-America candidate Wiz Bachman, please refer to pages 14-15 of the UCLA media guide. Setting Everyone Up
Junior setter Erika Selsor currently ranks fifth on UCLA's all-time career list with 3,294 to her credit. That number is also tops among the Pac-10's active setters. With 72 assists at Arizona on Oct. 22, 1999, Selsor set a new UCLA standard with her seventh career match with 70 assists or more, breaking the previous record held by Ann Boyer (1985-88) and Selsor's predecessor, Kim Coleman (1994-97). Since then, she has upped that total to nine, most recently with a 70-assist performance against Texas A&M on Sept. 3. Selsor was named to the All-Tournament Team at the State Farm Women's Volleyball Classic.
Bowles Continues to Play Double Role:Sophomore Ashley Bowles spent the majority of the 1999 season at opposite hitter, and set for the Bruins at the end of numerous matches. Her setting experience paid off for the Bruins in the key match on Oct. 22 at Arizona. With regular setter Erika Selsor in the front row in game five, Banachowski was able to replace Selsor with middle blocker Angela Eckmier, giving UCLA a better blocking weapon in the front row. Bowles was the only setter on the floor for seven rallies in game five, and finished the match with eight assists.
Freshman Forum: Four of UCLA's six freshmen saw action during the State Farm Classic, led by the MB/DS combo of Ella Harley and Stacey Lee, respectively. Harley led the Bruins in attack percentage against Penn State on Sept. 25, connecting at a .438 clip. Harley also accumulated eight blocks over the weekend with two solos and six assists. Meanwhile, in the back row, Stacey Lee contributed three service aces and 21 digs while playing all 10 games, including three rotations in the front row during the Penn State match.
Other freshmen seeing court time included Krystal McFarland, who entered the match as a back-row substitute for Bowles in game two vs. Penn State and game three vs. CSU. McFarland totalled an assist and an ace during her court time. Alyssa Rylander subbed in for sophomore OH Lauren Fendrick in game two against Colorado Stateaccumulating two digs and a kill. Returning to the floor for the first time since 1998, Lauren Hogan notched a key game-five block assist against Colorado State while in as a defensive sub for Selsor.
Opposing Hitting Percentage Bottoms Out: In the opening weekend of the season, Penn State checked in with a .161 team hitting percentage, while Colorado State posted a .284 clip. Overall, two of UCLA's five opponents this season have hit below .200, with Texas A&M (.215) and Hawaii (.203) bearly breaking the Mendoza line. Last season, UCLA held 25 of its 32 opponents (including the opponents in 15 of 18 Pac-10 matches) under .200, and 13 teams were held under .100.

Whenever a PopCap game is released on a new platform, all hope for productivity disappears for a few days. Which means it's time to brace yourself as Zuma's Revenge is now available for iOS devices in both a standard and HD edition. It's time for match-3 goodness with a marble spouting frog!
Zuma's Revenge is a marble shooter game along the lines of Luxor. Colored marbles are constantly moving down a path and you have to shoot more at them out of the frog's mouth. If you match three or more of the same color together, the marbles disappear and you get points. Make all the marbles in a level disappear and you get to keep playing. Zuma's Revenge will offer you ample opportunity to undertake that challenge, since it has 60 Adventure and 60 Challenge levels to complete. 120 different levels should last quite a while.
A Zuma's Revenge trailer has been released as well. It offers some quick flashes of gameplay footage.
Wow, PopCap's really made a Zuma's Revenge push! We get the DSiWare version for the DSi and 3DS and iOS versions all at once. I'm sure casual gamers will be very pleased, especially since the touch controls will probably enhance the overall experience. I'd recommend going with the standard or HD iOS version though, as the DSiWare one is much more expensive. It's $7.99, compared to $1.99 and $4.99 for the former and latter.

Ok... I am pretty frustrated here, and from a search on the forums, I can see that many people are having the same problem. I'm trying to wrap my head around this problem... and any way I look at it, this makes absolutely no sense to me.
1) Bluehost's servers are overloaded, thus requiring the admins to take drastic steps cutting down people's CPU time almost to the point where static HTML pages will cause a person's account to be suspended. But then that leads me back to the Bluehost home page which advertises all these cool features and bandwidth and fantastico scripts and all this cool stuff I can do with my website (and have been doing for several years now).
2) Bluehost has spent a lot of money upgrading their systems and offering more services for the same prices for the last couple of years that they have had to completely remove upgrades from their budget. Ok, this makes sense, somewhat. Pack more people onto the same hardware and increase revenues, at the expense of crappy service for everyone. Eventually, those who do not convert to pre-1990's technology by using only static HTML pages will be forced to find another host. Eventually, we will bleed off enough of these pesky customers that we will have plenty of CPU power available. Nevermind that no one will be around to use it.
I see too many posts where people are claiming to have 1 or 2 visitors on their website and they are receiving CPU errors. I then see replies by other users, using the same scripts, stating "Odd, I have a heavily used website and I never have a problem". Ok... so maybe some servers are loaded more than others? Maybe the CPU throttling programs are more generous from one server to the next? What is this, guys?? Why can't we find a solution that allows people to run even modest scripts without closing their account?
A few thoughts:
1) Instead of throttling by time, throttle the CPU usage. E.g, 100 people on a server, each person can use a maximum of 1% CPU at any given time. The scripts will run slower, but at least they will run!
2) Upgrade the CPUs in the servers so they can handle a higher load
3) Add more servers
I realize that I have been using pretty much the same scripts for the past several years and have never had a problem until recently. I also recall that within the last year, what appears to me to be a major upgrade of the software (at least an upgrade of cPanel and related), that maybe the hardware upgrades at bluehost have not kept pace with the software upgrades. Or, maybe the growth in bluehost's customer base has not been matched with comparable hardware upgrades to handle the new load. So, like any big company that forgets how it became the big company (ie customer service and support), someone decided it would be a good idea to generate crazy revenue in a short amount of time by taking on new customers while downgrading the performance of all users. Sure, a few customers will be inconvenienced by this and leave... but by then, the people in charge who made this decision will move on to manage bigger and better things, add a bullet on their resume about how their leadership earned the company crazy amounts of money, and slowly the company will lose it's reputation that it spent YEARS to cultivate among it's customer base.

The Big East will make a serious push to keeping San Diego State as a member in football and it will also focus on adding Tulsa as member in all sports according to sources familiar with the overall planning the conference is making to restructure its future.
Big East commissioner Mike Aresco will meet with Big East Presidents and Athletic Directors at an airport hotel in Dallas on Friday to discuss the overall strategy.
The most pressing issue will be the configuration of the football league for next season. The original plan had been a 12-team two division conference with the addition of Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU, Memphis and Central Florida as new members joining Cincinnati, South Florida, Temple, Louisville, Rutgers and Connecticut.
Those plans had to be changed, however, when the 7 Catholic non FBS Big East schools—Providence, Seton Hall, DePaul, Marquette, Georgetown, Villanova and St. John's decided– to break off to form their ow league and Boise State backed out of the deal and decided to remain in the Mountain West.
With only 11 teams in football, the plans for a championship game (12 teams are required) were put on hold and Aresco also had to make plans to find replacements for Louisville and Rutgers who made deals to join the Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten.
All of these changes have created an atmosphere of confusion and uncertainty that Aresco has had to deal with, while also negotiating new television contracts in football and basketball.
"It has been challenging to say the least," said Aresco on Wednesday as he made his plans for the meeting in Dallas on Friday. "But we're going to work our way through this and come up with a good league that will work for our members."
Aresco would not discuss specifics, other than to say the meeting in Dallas would include "every aspect of what we are trying to do."
The first issue will bet settle the football make up of the league for 2013. The Big East is fairly confident in can keep Louisville and Rutgers for one more season and then replace them with Tulane and East Carolina in 2014 and add Navy in football in 2015.
He has been constantly working on keeping San Diego State as part of the new group, using the argument that the Big East/ Big West (for other sports) is a more financially lucrative package for San Diego State than as a full member of the Mountain West.
The Big East expects a final decision by San Diego State in the next few weeks. San Diego State officials are expected to be in Dallas for Friday's meetings.
With Boise State gone, Aresco is looking for another "western" based team, with Air Force and BYU the obvious main targets, but Tulsa has emerged as another contender as an all sports member.
Aresco might have to do some selling since Tulsa reportedly was luke warm to the idea when first approached by the Big East earlier last fall. The Big East then switched its focus to Tulane, which will join the conference as a full member in 2014.

DIY Bib Extender
It seems like it was just yesterday that I sewed the chenille bib for the babies. Now, the bib can no longer fit comfortably onto the necks of the growing up toddlers. They need bib extender to continue serving their little "masters".
I am not sure if anyone used this method – sewing bib extension. As a thrifty mom, buying new bibs at every growing stages seems not a wise-able expenses. Especially if the bibs are sentiment handmade gifts from friends or/and families. So… I got this idea from the maternity waistband which I used during pregnancy – EXTENDER. Instead of elastic band for the waistband, I used grosgrain ribbon for the bib but you can use just any ribbons of your choice, or you can even sew fabric tube that matches with the bib you have made or bought.
Ribbon is one of the most convenient materials to use as it is commonly available and with vast selection of colors, designs and sizes. All you need to do is adapting the type of fastener of the existing bib, 2 most common types are velcro and snap buttons.
The first photo is the extender I made using 1″ wide grosgrain ribbon and it is for the velcro fastened bib I bought. The photo below is the 3/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon + prong snap buttons for the chenille bib. The concepts are the same, instead of sewing velcro, just install the no-sew or prong snap button. One thing you need to determine is to make sure that the snap buttons (sew type or prong type) are from the same type in order for them to fasten together.

by George Eliot
Middlemarch Book 1, Chapter 8 Summary
- Sir James gets over his bitterness pretty quickly, and soon learns to look at Dorothea with pity, rather than with anger.
- He knows that Mr. Brooke won't do anything to stop Dorothea from marrying Mr. Casaubon, so he goes to Mr. Cadwallader, the vicar, to ask him to step in and say something.
- Mr. Cadwallader is too easy-going, though. He says there's no reason for Dorothea not to marry Casaubon, so long as she likes him.
- Mr. Cadwallader goes on to defend Mr. Casaubon, telling Sir James about how Mr. Casaubon took care of his poor cousins. Apparently Mr. Casaubon's aunt married a poor Polish man and was disowned by her family. That's why Mr. Casaubon is so rich: his mother inherited her sister's share of the fortune as well as her own. But Mr. Casaubon went looking for his poor Polish cousins and gave them money.
- Sir James is impressed by Mr. Casaubon's generosity to his cousins, but still doesn't think that Dorothea should marry him.
- Mr. Cadwallader is (understandably) convinced that Sir James only cares because he wants to marry her himself, but he denies this. He claims his interest is brotherly at this point.
- Mrs. Cadwallader comes in, and sides with Sir James. She thinks her husband should try to persuade Mr. Brooke to postpone the marriage of his niece until she's older.
- Mr. Cadwallader doesn't think it's his business to interfere.
- Despite the fact that Dorothea's marrying someone else, Sir James still plans to go through with the plans to improve the cottages of the tenants on his own estate according to Dorothea's plan, which pleases her a lot.

Hoping you would quote unquote be the one
Now you're just one of the few
One of the few
Could I be so bold?
Bold to say that you wanted it, too
You wanted it, too
(Tell me I'm lying)
Tell me I'm lying
And another word I won't say
Tell me I'm trying too hard
And I'll walk away
Sick of the songs about breaking up at home
And breaking down on the road
But I'm still out here
Killing the local scene
Dying to live the dream
But I don't want to wake up screaming
All I am is life in vain
You never loved someone 'til they were gone
You never needed money 'til you had none
I used to have some
I had some, I had someone
Until she said
Now you can write a sad song
Well, is that all that you wanted?
And if I don't, am I haunted?
And am I life in vain?
Told myself I wouldn't do this again
Told myself that if I did, you would win
That I would bury the pain
But if I do refrain
All I am is life in vain
All I am is life in vain (Tell me I'm lying)
All I am is life in vain (Tell me I'm lying)
Yea, all I am is life in vain (Tell me I'm lying)

There is a need to look at how information on formula feeds can be made available to health professionals
"Breast is best" is something all health professionals would agree with, and there is no question that breastfeeding should be encouraged and women supported to do it. But what about mothers who choose not to breastfeed, whether for personal or medical reasons - what support is available to them?
Women with a baby well-established on a formula feed have decided not to breastfeed. Yet their access to advice and support is limited as many health professionals are discouraged from obtaining up-to-date information on formula feeds. How can you offer mothers appropriate advice and information if you don't know what that is, and where is the evidence-based care?
I did my midwifery training back in the dark ages when mothers were in hospital for at least three to five days - long enough for new mums to be shown how to make up feeds and sterilise bottles. As a student midwife, I was expected to know about the full range of formula feeds, how they differed and to advise mothers accordingly. Nowadays, because hospital stays are shorter, there is no time to spend with the mother to go through bottle-feeding and apparently staff are not allowed to do so.
Yet there is clear guidance from the World Health Organization (1981) on infant feeding. While breastfeeding must be promoted, when this is not possible, mothers must be given appropriate information.
Gastric problems, such as constipation, are not uncommon in formula-fed babies (Infante et al, 2011). To address this before it becomes chronic - when laxatives may be required - it seems prudent to know about different types of formula feeds so that mothers can be advised.
In 2010, Unicef produced a leaflet for health professionals and parents, which gives advice on what to do if a bottle-fed infant develops constipation. And the NHS Choices web site suggests parents who think one brand of formula disagrees with their baby should try another - and advises them to contact their GP or health visitor for advice. Yet, if health visitors are discouraged from attending study days and meetings attended by representatives from formula feed companies, how will they provide accurate, up-to-date information?
In 1981, the WHO agreed to information on formula feeds being provided as long as it was "restricted to scientific and factual matters". There is a need to look at how such information can be made available to health professionals, which will then enable them to advise and support those mothers who do breast bottle feed. Otherwise, we are at risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Readers' comments (5)
As a health visitor and an advocate for breastfeeding, sometimes this information needs to be available. What about children that have been adopted and also where the mother has died in labour (I know of a few cases) then aren't these individuals entitled to know what is available? I dislike the advertising on tv for formula (they drive me mad!) I thought that they were supposed to be being banned!! At least then parents can access information that will enable them to make an informed decision regarding which formula is for their child. I think a number of GP's need updating on this matter aswell as there are a few out there who still think soya is a solution at the drop of a hat, and tell parents to water down feeds!! mis-information does not just come from nurses
As a mother who has bottle fed all 3 of my kids purely through personal choice i would welcome a more open and supportive attitude from all healthcare professionals on this subject. I am sick of the demonisation of formula feeding. Asking for help or information about the different formulas is often met with a sniffy refusal.
As a nurse advisor for the NHS Direct I am shocked the number of calls received from parents of babies as young as a few days old requesting information about constipation. What is more shocking are the number of babies being prescribed laxatives by GPs. Unfortunately Health Visitors seem to be altogether absent or unable to provide appropriate support. Like June Rogers I was trained as a midwife and Health Visitor in the dark days when we had knowledge about breast feeding and formula feeds. I say role back the carpet and bring back the old fashioned training for all nurses, midwives and Health Visitors.
Every mother has the right to choose and be given support to make the choice that is right for her.
Although an advocate of breast feeding, I will not judge anyone who chooses a different method.
Information, choice and a non-judgemental approach would be welcomed by many I am sure.
I agree with you as an health visitor, breast feeding should be a choice and bottle feeding as well , mothers need health professioners who are there for them at the point of their need often by the time we get to see them mothers are at their tetters and would go for their most covenient options and as we are now no that common sense this days have been thrown out of the window, I will be starting my private HV service to give parents more choices and a personalised service regards thei infants nutrition, we can no longer depend on the government's draconian rule. Independent nurses and self employed nurses keep the flag flying . Florence Nightingale started as an independent entrepreneur why should nurses of today be so depedent to be dragged left right and centre by so called draconian employers at the setriments of our patients.

The Fashion Folio is moving…
The secret's out: the BIG move is about to happen… I'm moving to Australia in exactly one month! I decided some time ago that I still wanted to study something and preferably abroad, when my dad came with this ridiculously good idea of moving to Aussie. At first, I thought he was kidding… And I actually think he was up until the moment that I decided I was actually going for it. I'm a real goal digger, for that matter. I'll be studying Graphic Design (letters, typography, yay!) at Shillington College and I'll also work here and there… But most importantly: I'm going to live the Melbourne life and I'm going to enjoy every single minute of it.
I'll also be travelling around whenever I can and I'll definitely keep you updated of my every move in the land Down Under. I can't wait to add more sun to my Instagram and to share all of my discoveries with you, here on the blog.
Now, let's pack my bags… the most difficult of all tasks, if you ask me!

On Wednesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the host performed a skit about what would happen if Vladimir Putin called Sarah Palin -- featuring the real Sarah Palin. Who might be listening in on the line? The photo sort of gives it away, but then the answer is sort of obvious, isn't it?
Even if you're not a Palin fan, you have to give props to a woman who isn't afraid to have a little fun with her image and her infamous claim to be able to monitor Russia from Alaska because they're so close. Fallon, playing Putin, started the skit as he was finishing a call with President Barack Obama.
And then who would you naturally call next? Why, Palin, of course.
They discuss Ukraine, the President, shooting bears and share a rendition of "Happy," including a flute solo by the former Alaskan Governor. And she helps him get a bottle of vodka.
If that sounds weird, it's because it is. But in a delightful way. Check out the full video.

Time, Inc. Names Joseph A. Ripp CEO
Monday, July 22, 2013
Time Warner Inc. announced today that Joseph A. Ripp will replace Laura Lang as Chief Executive Officer of Time Inc. Ripp, a former Time Inc. and Time Warner executive, is currently CEO of business information solutions company OneSource Information Services, Inc. Ripp will begin his new role in September.
In March, Time Warner announced plans for the legal and structural separation of Time Inc. from Time Warner through a spin-off. Following the separation, Time Inc. will be an independent publicly traded company.
Lang had advised Time Warner that she did not want to continue in the role following the spin-off.
Ripp began his media career at Time Inc. in 1985, and held several executive level positions there and at Time Warner over the course of nearly 20 years. He first joined Time Inc. as assistant comptroller and was elevated to SVP, CFO and Treasurer of Time Inc. in 1993. Ripp then served as EVP and CFO of Time Warner Inc. from 1999 to 2001, when he became CFO of America Online. In 2002, Ripp was named vice chairman of America Online where he oversaw advertising, technology, operations, marketing, human resources and legal until he left the company in 2004.
After leaving Time Warner in 2004, Ripp served as president and COO of Dendrite International, a provider of sales, marketing, clinical, and compliance solutions for the global pharmaceutical industry. From 2008 until 2010, he served as Chairman of Journal Register Co., owner of more than 50 newspapers and over 350 multi-platform products. In 2010, Ripp entered into a partnership with GTCR, a leading private equity firm, to form Cannondale Investments. In 2012, GTCR and Cannondale Investments acquired OneSource Information Services, Inc. where he assumed the role of CEO.
Ripp was a member of the Board of Directors of Greenfield Online until it was sold to Microsoft in 2007. He has also served on the Boards of Whittle Communications and American Express Publishing. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees of Manhattan College and the Board of Directors of the Advertising Educational Foundation. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of Lighthouse International in NY and an Emeritus Director of the Ad Council.

45acp with FMJ. Shot this morning from a stand using the Colt Gov model and hand loaded ammo. Shot was just under 20 yards or so, and quartering away. The last photo shows the broken shoulder bone. Good straightline penetration through chest cavity smashing all bone. You can see from the second photo that the right leg is completely destroyed.
Tomorrow I am going to use a 9mm again with 147 grn HPs, again. And yes, I am on vacation again.:biggrin2:

Rhythmic tones form a most beautiful symphony of love
A shining star as nature's splendor reflects Heaven's light
It's my destiny to learn a passion and purpose to use now
Even for a moment, I would not change for you're my love
And love is a blessing, an eternal gift that keeps on giving
Take your wish, shattered dreams—leave this world behind
And we shall seek and find a togetherness with lullabies pure
For each new emotion my heart shall always find you dearest
Sending warm golden stirring echoes dancing into your dreams
Softly lips whispering so gently in the air as a loving tune sings
As the warm sun lights up our footsteps treading on golden sands
Perfect maiden you're the siren ringing bells for midnight chimes
True precious bride inside the heart you have keys to all the doors
Walk with me hand in hand as the soul breathes and butterflies sigh
Ocean waves crash—kissing salt of the earth as windows flutter free
Safely sitting on the throne as the crown graces a fair maiden queen
Our special music reflects the precious nature of our love dearest
As we share enchanted moments with each other so real and pure
When I take your hand in mine, I feel the magic warmth of passion
When I gaze into your eyes, I sense the depth of our love forever
The delight I share with you dear one defies all human description
And so my love—enjoy the oneness we share as two souls together
As we bask in God's own heavenly light and music in His Universe
Our hearts unite as one in forming a most beautiful symphony of love

The moon falls out like a secret above the frisky clouds
Daylight and night the stars come in crowds
Like a glistening diamond, I can't stop staring
Mixed-up in that moment that has no time sharing
Holding onto the tip of the tree limbs like a puppeteer
I can hear the words the moon whispers into my ear
I will illuminate into a world only I know of
My very own little secret sparkling island getaway
A world where beauty hides the beast
I'll be the only exile under a sunless night feast
I'm going to pass on all my secrets away---
As I have on my dreaming moonlit gear
Comfort upon this mundane wonder, astronomical sphere.
I looked one last time at the mooned night
I will close my eyes, and find myself in a box kite flight.
I will lay myself down to sleep,
Not allowing my imagination to rinse off with wild sheep
Like a Nightingale, I rather sit and serenade myself to sleep
With the refreshing thought, the moon is like the pillow I keep
In this mad, mad world!
The moon seems to be the only object that holds it's sanity
Arousing me with it's inner peace and spirituality

~Moon & Sea~
Hey boy won't you open that door?
Let's sing and walk by the shore
Come and spread out your eyes
Block looking for reasons, and whys?
The cosmos are more than a space to explore
Don't hide when I need.... Plus more.
Finish playing a master in disguise!
Lets find the perfect sunrise, sunset surprise.
Put your arms around me
Allow your moon to reflect off my sea
Too much time has passed you by
Come outside with and view the horizon up high
I've got my eyes set upon you
There's no need to feel blue
Hey boy comes, climb up this tree!
I'm going to show you all the things you can't touch, you can't see.
Lets fit the luxury and beauty of this world into our play.
Don't say them words that will set me free to walk away.
Take this kiss and see how it feel deep within your heart.
Close your eyes in my garden, and draw with the fragrance of art
I want to take you into that space, astronomy love.
Making it easy to float with the clouds way up above.
Glide away from the blame of gravity and self destruct.
Bounce of the dust of hurt when you fall and get cut.
Boy, let's hold in this perfect air together.
Leave the cold end of someone else's weather.
Follow me beyond the distance of chemistry.
I will expose your moon and explain the physics of my sea.
Give it another chance and you will see!
Your moon, is skin deep, needing water from me.
Turn on the tune in your heart, and listen to me.
In every sunrise, the moon entwines with the sea.

Lapis lazuli mines with wide blue eyes
bringing to mind precious stones and
caramel scones; innocent and wise -
Wondering, yet without surprise.
Staring down the universe, a challenge
in your look though you are young;
The earth made only nine revolutions
since you came out to see the sun.
Unguarded and arched, your brows
betray high wire tension; enough
to light up a hundred moons and warm
plump cheeks to cherry bubble gum.
Be not impatient to grow; you smell
of open grasshopper meadows
and firefly lighted lakeshore walks.
You're a mother's envy and pride.
Red lips! Your passion for life exists.
Scarlet, lipstick would be a surfeit -
Today as then till many summer's been,
your spirit will always be free as the mist.

Featuring:) Giorgio Veneto
She writes about Fall's beauty in the rain
The falling raindrops' dance ascribing thence
Bespoken verse that lightens her refrain
before the time they met - her steps commence.
She listens to the soft and rhythmic thrum,
her love turned to escape and cloudy string
Where nimbus mistletoe fell, tears to become
Their kiss of Autumn was symbolic ring.
The first light cotton mists with summer rays
While skyward cheerful laughs adorn the land,
their ceremonial dance diffuses grays,
affectionate embrace, where dreams expand.
Upon September's sky the raindrops gleam
With half of hidden Sun to laugh and beam.
Enjoy the FRAGRANCE OF RAIN

When my final shadows cling on desperately
Where I fight formidable battles
to merely hold the light
I send you loving vibrations
and soul sustenance
Deep from the cathedral
of one heart to another
where today no choirs sing
nor symphonies play
Yet it is here where we meet
in spiritual solace
here to surrender
and exchange inestimable treasures
recollecting memories
like unopened letters
Galaxies are stretched
over chronicles of shared history
Nebula birthing stars
will be exposed
in forth-coming conversations
bringing short-lived fulfillment to you
Hungry to feast
now will be the time
to approve your blood art vision
and with my own haunting surrender
as dappled shades ink stain your chest
I will reside with you and share, mesmerised
pens - by branding
as this will be your written reams to me
your artist's pallet or brushed canvas
no need for words
and yet creating
mysterious magical moments
Bitter-sweet the music
that dances taut guitar strings
but now blood approved
please go kick your heel up
return to your laughter
and ride on the breeze
for not all are lost
change not
for I am with you always
to love, listen and comfort as one
with you in me and I in you
as masterpiece

In A Darkened Attic Room
In attic room, one window tightly shut,
Dwells broken heart hidden from future pain.
Bare as a savage brute's empty hut-
Condemned to no hope, no future, no gain.
Where rests such perilous fear darkness reigns;-
Shattered dreams give rise to dark illusions.
Hope rejected brings on its most wicked stains,
Evil held, births its blackest conclusions.
Grown in decay until nothing remains,
Yet sad hope is better than none at all.
True love waits the bliss it always contains,
Treasures gifted, one only has to call.
If one ray of love's light but filters in
Love brings life and its promises again.

Wrapped In Honey Of Her Naked Pies
Are memories really just our souls leaving
in clouds of shimmering hot mists.
And what of love and all that hot heaving
or stored memories on lustful lists!
Can the mind create truth from mere dregs
women so beautiful your brain cries.
All curves, graceful long ,long sexy legs
wrapped in honey of her naked pies!
Alas! Say it tis not a treasure imagined
what of the deep sensations of bliss?
Or her choice of lingerie in latest fashion
epic thrill of that greatest ever kiss?
Slay me now, if my treasures are not real.
I want no world devoid of that hot night's thrill.
R.J. Lindley

Sonnet, on my terms....
Note_ Too hot, was deleted, graphic
details of that first night and ******** *** ************
Tell me that this fear is just paranoia in my mind,
we're not straining, we're not struggling,
we're not sinking, we're just fine.
I'm not perfect my dearest, but damn have I tried,
and I'll try harder but I know I'll have the same results every time.
Do you want me all the ways that I am?
With all the struggles and the tears and the clinging to your hand.
I fear your getting further and Im left on the shore to stand,
watching you in the distance with a bullet in my hand.
Tell me all this worry, its just clutter in my mind,
tell me not to worry that we're doing just fine.
Cause Im scared to run you off and I feel Im falling deep.
And Im so frightened of these thoughts that its getting hard to sleep.
All I know is that the heart wants what it desires,
because of you the match inside has turned into a fire.
And I feel the broken glass thats sticking from my skin,
Wondering if you'll remove the pain or push it back in.
My hearts frantic wondering if you feel the same,
pleading and begging for more than just a saying,
but to feel and to see that im not alone,
with being in this love thats overwhelming.
Once I told you that we didnt have a spark,
but you were lighting up and I was sitting in the dark.
And this fire, this blaze its wrapped in desire.
Im terrified to lose you, I think I might die or,
maybe disappear from all the pieces falling out,
im going crazy but when i open my mouth, nothing comes out,
and I cant explain to you why I just need to hold you close,
why every time you leave Im scared to let you go,
why these tears are building up behind my eyes,
all I know is that the heart wants what it desires
and it desires to be your wife.
So tell me in my panic, that your words are true,
tell my my dearest what I mean to you,
tell me that this paranoia is all within my mind
we're not struggling, we're not sinking tell me we're just fine

Where cradled canyons sing
Of ebony wood in the forest
There lies a gurgling spring
Where cockcrows sing their chorus
To the melody of singsong birds
There I've concealed my sensuous words
Filled with befitted signs
The saccharine whiff of my designs
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Where the fogs of night are fountains
Spills of glistened moon ignite
By distant silhouette mountains
We dance with passion of fight
Entwining ancient stance
Mingling hand in hand we dance
Till the mountains smile on high
Near and far we spring
To pursue the realest of dreams
While the world cries at its seams
Anxious in trouble to cling
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
To where the ridges merry make
From the beaks of wooden bright
In sparkly pools the ghouls awake
That scarce to stir our night
We watch for seekers down under
Muttering secrets in their soul
We bid them lucks of shivers
Dipping gently in
From reeds that hide a tear of a foal
Under the gentle rivers
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
Far away she shall ever churn
The taciturn eyed
She'll listen no more to turn
To the working mills beside
Or the scrubbing of the barn
May peace weave in her song
She shall wave in the yarn
To a haven known as Belong
Come to me my mortal youth
To the wild realm of your truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only your tears be found
For she comes, the mortal youth
To the wild realm of her truth
Where nymphs and gnomes abound
For the earth is filled with weeping
And only her tears be found

She said,
love gives us wings
therefore lover,
we belong to the heavens...
Let us abandon
this frozen world
and fix ourselves
among the ceaseless blue stars...
Higher and higher
into the sky
you and I
will eternally fly...
Let us not
come too close to the sun
we may burn the tips of our wings
stay and be safe with me...
For in your eyes
is a burning sun
within you I find the end of space
and my wings are unpinned...

Self-gratification is the fruit of one's love,
making the artist's delighted face glow...
when every vision has been achieved,
and each intention joyfully revealed.
He will envision the shape and colors,
then transfer those images to canvas;
and with the gentles strokes of his brush...
real faces will appear and suddenly blush.
Thinker and dreamer, let passion and imagination flow,
don't be distracted by worries or external sounds below;
work diligently with your brush, transcending your own credibility...
but later, it would be too hilarious to scream out your insanity.
Self-gratification is the fruit of one's love...
that enduring, timeless legacy hard to ignore;
when others show admiration, you'll be so pleased
and motivated to add more laurels to your prestige.

Out of time that's long forgotten,
in a light that's yet unknown,
you could see me in the morning,
I would be there, but alone,
weaving tapestries from fibers
of someone who'd never guess,
she is part of dreams and vision,
and somebody's happiness.
But she would know someone was there.
I'd touch her now if I would dare.
And she would know I'm always there.
There's a story and it's Celtic,
"We must love all things, to see
how a raindrop loves the flower,
but the flower loves a bee."
In the tapestry I'm weaving,
I have told this story well,
and the dream she is a part of,
is the other tale I tell.
She knows someone has touched her mind.
I'm always there for her to find.
And she is always on my mind.
It's a love beyond a question,
but a love that's out of place,
out of time and out of reason,
but unable to erase.
In the tapestry I'm weaving ,
there's no differences to see,
she is rising from the ocean
to a love God's meant to be.
...And she has known a love that's good.
.....Though it is never understood.
........But she'll remember love is good.

I Remember Fierce Storm That Blew My Life Apart
I remember fierce storm that blew my life away.
Images burned into a sad, finely tortured mind;
reminds me of that epic and dark fateful day,
tears falling down but no good answers could I find.
So in love with my sweetheart but soon hope gave way,
when drug induced Nirvana flew into our home.
Easy now to see it in slow motion replay,
when I groped in darkness wherever I dared roam.
Raging clouds gathered within the uncertain West
as thunder spilled over into each haunting hour.
No joy in simply knowing that I did my best,
while I saw the destruction of my wild flower!
I remember fierce storm that blew my life apart.
Its massive crushing winds destroyed my aching heart.

When I am Colder,Older and then alone...
I will collect the sky on my own...
When the art has faded and the days then fade-
when everyone has gone away...
I may finally see what never was saw
.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............... the quiet sky
The unlit room which bares my end...shows the flashes of my pains my joys and sins.
This life has been a strange one since the curtains were drawn
These paper and plastic figures have clouded the dawn
I was once younger,foolish,and obsessed with truth
Now I am bitter,sour,dour faced with my heart under shoe
The children were all searching or lost in a crowd
All weeds in a garden...growing vile and foul
Though beauty was sold it never came true
Obsessions and vanity have traveled safe through
Materials and poison and everything lost
have been burned in the fires or lost in the frost
I stand face to mirror tearing my being apart
Winding thoughts of love,pain,god,and art
As the sun sets and the darkness grows
I too shall follow this pattern in tow
Death has a friendly hand and a pretty face
She has given me comfort as I leave this place
The wars have occurred,humanity's lost
Souls have been burnt in the fire or lost in the frost
Day was Life,Night is Death
And the latter has given counsel on my final steps

Poetry is white lights falling upon rainbows and snow
Casual exchanges blinked upon a shared pillow
Lip prints etched inside an antiquated photograph
The obligatory holding of hands as a lost-craft
Poetry is the scent of morning kisses
Words that blossom, an arrow that misses
Umbrellas unopened on a drizzling day
A trail of lovers unable to find their way
Poetry is an evening sparrow chasing the moon
Two silhouettes cascading into a spoon
Roses blown from a closed casket
The loneliness of waiting for her to ask-it
Poetry is the answer to what if and why
Tissues capturing the tears but not the cry
Rubies polishing a heart to an imperfect shine
The undefined likeness of I, Me and Mine
Copyright © Mark Anthony Cotterman | Year Posted 2012
Cold words fall deaf upon the joyful heart
A memory keeps its meaning until death makes it no more
Her brush always spoke to me, her canvas was my souls imagination
Her soft lips, her beautiful eyes never will I forget for with her I became a man
A nightfall always brought dreams of holding her, I love her
She paints to the song that plays over and over again in her heart
I miss her more than ever
I weep to the heavens and call her name, yet she is absent from my eyes
All I have is the memories, which only God can pull from me
Her kisses always rose me to the highest point of my self love
When she held my hand I floated carefree
I love her, she is my heart and I will always remember

Return To Me
As I count the days until this Spring's thaw,
darkly a shadow hangs over my head.
Your sweet memory for me holds it all
always a place waits your love in my bed.
Yesterdays- memories made of romance,
you stole the hot desires heating my mind.
That fantastic night, I taking a chance,
was then rewarded, your sweet love to find.
Darling, fly back to our palatial nest
from your distant first vacation retreat.
I exist only when loving you best,
and pray for the moment again we meet!
Upon distant shores, you leave my heart sad.
For we are everything we ever had!

The Poet
We have been around for thousands of years
Reading our words for kings and queens
and a few people who gathered just to hear us talk.
We lived on the copper coins they could afford
and traveled through the lands writing what
we saw, dreams and thoughts.
Our words were put to music and made immortal
Others were acted on the stage making
people laugh and cry.
Some words changed the way people thought
and ended hatred between people who
should not feel hate.
People died because they did not realize what
our words could do
Many times a love bogged in fear was loosed
because of a few words we wrote.
God only knows how many children our words
have brought smiles to and how many starting
thinking because of what we wrote.
Why do we do it?
Not to end wars or hatred
Not for the lovers who found each other because of us
Not even for the copper coins people throw
We do it because we love words
We do it to share our feelings
and we do it so that someday maybe someone will read
our thoughts, dreams and words and they will be
remembered long after we are gone.

My Love Lives In A Maiden's Fallen Tear
I saw sweet love in maiden's fallen tear
a racing orb of light so very bright.
A love lost, great tragedy so many fear
as small children do darkness of night.
If only to live and not be too late
for the appointed day that I died.
Mend the widening cracks in my plate
careful to eat my stolen eggs fried.
Should a poet compose for me a monody
I shall rise again just to hear.
For my sweet soul fled my tortured body
but my love lives in a maiden's tear.
Will I ever hear sweet song sung in tune.
Or peacefully sleep beneath crescent moon?
Robert J. Lindley, 10-25-2015
Note-Tried to go to sleep,but that wicked muse
of mine, demanded just one more! And it had to
be a sonnet!

young rose set to bloom
dawn's light awakens my soul
beauty in red shines
Her graceful dancing brought on great applause.
I was unworthy, bad temper the cause.
As her eyes spoke to my sad, longing heart,
Crystal palaces shattered within my soul.
Angel that once inspired great hope in me,
Her singing voice kissed my soul quite divine,
In my heart, Heaven then lifted the sea,
Spirit said walk away, she is too fine,
Decades shall pass, before you find sunshine.

Where Now Shines Light and Love
Far, far, far away rejected darkened hate
now banished into its own gloom.
That black fog that did so dictate
the misery in my lonely room!
Pain, pain, pain was its desired fruit
I, a mere vassal to its decrees.
Finally found was its bitter root
hiding down deep as the seas!
Swift, swift, swift came the decision
to rip out one nasty, evil tree.
With deepest thought and precision
soul ripped the seed from me!
Hope, dearest hope now rests in that hole.
Where now shines love, always a worthy goal!
Robert J. Lindley, 10-12-2015
Note- A sonnet to remind me, darkness has a
seed that grows from within. Cut out the
seed--light and love comes back in.
My Heart Shall Not Fade In Crying Red Rust
I shall beat down the walls of your dungeon
And smash its power into fading dust.
My spirit by you will not be bludgeoned,
My heart shall not fade in crying red rust!
Once, I saw such goodness in your sweet soul.
Those years have all vanished into the dark,
Where raging waters drown love in its roll
Madness of your hate shows to be so stark!
I still long for that soft gentle touch
With the press of those sexy luscious lips.
This heart cries deep, in loving you so much
Despite cut of claws on your fingertips!
I can never change pains of fate and time.
Yet I cry my loss in poetic rhyme!

We Two, Shall Love As One
Our love rests within two beating hearts,
I love the spirit and grace resting in you,
There's nothing shall ever keep us apart,
as thirsting grass pines for morning dew.
We shall love within each other's touch,
with tenderness in each soothing hand.
No need to ever say our love, tis' too much,
or that any night is not ours to command!
I have seen beautiful flowers in your eyes,
and great promise in your sensual ways.
Your sunshine permeates my longing skies
where love and hope grace all our days.
You speak of love in words of tenderness,
yet tis' great strength you reveal in emotion,
that flames my desire in want of your caress.
I pledge to you, my heart in fullest devotion.
In your eyes I glean that your promise will last,
and that our lives be as sweet as fine aged wine.
To your side and love, I shall ever cling fast.
I am content to know you will forever be mine.
Some nights I spend awake, watching you sleep,
whispering words of love you can't hear me say.
Tis' the gift of you that I shall treasure and keep,
nestled safely inside my heart to savor each day.

Love's Greatest Costs Are Pangs Of Deepest Remorse
Life is not all love, sweet fun and joyous games
nor pure enjoyment seeing dawn's early rise.
Sometimes it may be our deeds revealed that shames
and cost us dearly, our heart's most precious prize.
Lost love is fast fleeing and elusive beast,
armed with sharp daggers and even deeper lies.
If returned, offers us a sumptuous feast,
of rarest delights and reclaimed cherry pies.
Ah, but to recover bright golden treasures,
one often endures hard blows and sharper cuts.
Sacrifices offered in painful measures,
one may win the prize but others think us nuts!
Love's greatest costs are pangs of deepest remorse.
Which avoiding, would mean no loving of course!

H er gentle touch soothed his broken spirit
A nd he knew his heart was forever enslaved
P oetry she sang sweetly, he could hear it
P romised their names in stone to be engraved

With Glowing Soft Colors In Rainbow Hues
Romantic night of given heart, my sweet
whatever shall dearest life truly be?
Your softest touch and gentle heartbeat,
mermaid swimming in my romantic sea.
I hold only dreams of your beating heart
with glowing soft colors in rainbow hues.
Praying daily that we shall never part
that my life never meets such dreaded blues.
May we live lost within your finest dance
while sleeping beside meadow flowers glow.
Your love dwells in finest, purest romance,
in a blessed gift joined, I pray to know.
Your dance swept me completely off my feet.
Forever my life joined with your heartbeat.
Note- Sonnet on romance , one hundred words, perfect tens.

I Love The Way She Wiggles When She Walks
I love the way she wiggles when she walks
her beautiful smile that shows her delight.
She fascinates me with sweet, sexy talks
together in bed on cold winter nights.
Hot romance like this comes along rarely
her soft, gentle touch swells my ardor.
When she undresses, I can just barely
Hold back I do, each time it gets harder.
I love the way she wiggles when she walks!

Just wrapped up the Drive Block with Mr. Lammey and Mr. Bloom – check it out to the right shortly or as I always suggest, head to ITunes or Footballguys.com and subscribe so you not only don't miss a Drive Block, you don't miss an ep of the good work Cec and Sig do every day on the main Audible show.
Since so many starters didn't play, we'll just do a quick hits thing and get you out of here and on with your morning/evening.
David Carr went 20-29 for 192 yards and 2 TDs. Probably the official #2 in NY, and a standout surprising game it was….. Dolphin Qb Chad Henne went 16-20 for 137 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, and definitely looks to be the future in Miami, though not one that will arrive this year barrign injury….. Jake Delhomme's backup Matt Moore left the game with an injury to his legs, but reports are that his leg was XRay'd and showed no broken bones. More tests will be done, but the thought is that it is a deep bruise…. Rashard Mendenhall looked good overall in his game, going for 79 yards on 21 carries – but he once again coughed up the ball, something that will get him in the doghouse if he doesn't cut it out…. I haven't been Vikings QB JD Booty's biggest fan but he won't lose his job when Brooks Bollinger looks like he did tonight. booty is still developing – what is Bollinger's excuse?…. Who is behind Crayton in Dallas? Well, not Sam Hurd, who left Thursday's game with an ankle sprain….. Troy Williamson did what he had to do and had a great game (4 catches for 84 yds and a TD) but it's unlikely he will be a huge factor in this team. Meanwhile David Garrard was quoted as saying that this year Matt Jones knows his playbook and he is looking to him to be a go-to guy in the offense…. Rumor is that while Adam Jones is free to play for the Cowboys, one slip and he gets a permanant ejection….. Jesse Chatman put up a combined 180 yards and a TD against the Eagles tonight and while it may have been against guys just trying to make an impression, he did exactly that himself. He's the #3 there and I wouldn't expect more from him, but could be a nice guy to watch in case of injury…..James Hardy had a nice night with a pair of catches for 30 yards. he can still have a shot to contribute if he can be more consistent in his routes…..
That's it for tonight….. see you for a couple of thoughts tomorrow, including some College takes on tonight's games – that Oregon/Stanford game was a heckuva matchup.

McNeil's debut on a professional runway show was at the start of 2007. She opened the Missoni, McQueen, Dell'Acqua and Givenchy Fall shows. After this great debut, V magazine predicted McNeil is going to be the next supermodel. This wasn't a mistake.
The following years, Catherine McNeil had the privilege of collaborating with the world's top fashion designers. She opened and closed countless fashion shows, and strutted her sexy figure on the catwalks of Carolina Herrera, MaxMara, Dior, Chanel, Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Prada, Stella McCartney and many more.
The fruitful collaboration between Catherine McNeil and Mario Testino earned the Australian model a few very important ad campaigns. In 2007, McNeil posed for Testino during photoshoots for D&G, Hugo Boss and Donna Karan ad campaigns. The same year, she was also photographed alongside Kate Moss for Versace.
In 2008, Catherine McNeil was photographed by Mario Sorrenti for the French Vogue calendar and Patrick Demarchelier photographed her for the Pirelli calendar and in 2008 McNeil became the face of Hermes.
Catherine McNeil continued to get huge campaigns. She became the face of Louis Vuitton Cruise ad campaign and was photographed alongside with Claudia Schiffer for Dolce & Gabbana resort.
In 2010 McNeil became the face of Givenchy.
Catherine McNeil has had huge success as a runway model. When she is not busy with the fashion industry, McNeil likes to watch rugby, work on used cars (yes, this is not a mistake) and listen to music.
