The style of this roman church, probably built in the 12C, relic of a medieval religious complex and now in ruins, is reminiscent of the Cormac chapel at Cashel. Points of architectural interest to be admired include the tympanum on the east doorway and the blind arcading in the nave, whose walls are intact, and also the alphabet stone (with engraved Latin characters) and an Ogham stone. Nearby (370m S), is the chancellor's house, the former residence of the chancellor of the diocese of Ardfert.

Senior executives at Total (NYSE:TOT), ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) (NYSE:RDS-B) are probably thinking to themselves that they've made a huge mistake for taking on the Kashagan oil project in the Caspian Sea. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time. It was, after all, the largest oil find in decades. Now that the project has been delayed yet again because of corroded pipes on the sea floor, it will likely not start up again until sometime in 2016.
These large oil players certainly have the balance sheet to handle the delays and high costs, but paying for a project that could end up costing more than $120,000 per flowing barrel of production for what will eventually be a major contributor to each company's production portfolio could be a deterrent to the company's return. In the video below, find out how this price tag relates to other major projects around the world and what it will mean for Total, Exxon, and Shell long term.
This company could bring about the death of OPEC
Oil production from places all over the world is changing the dynamics of the oil market, and the power that OPEC and Russia once had is slowly slipping from their grasp. This movement has been possible thanks to critical technological developments, and our analysts at The Motley Fool have identified one company that is at the epicenter of it all and is in position to make immense profits from it. Find out the name of the company we have adoringly labeled "OPEC's Worst Nightmare." All you need to do is simply click here and we'll let you know for free.

Astra Bank has been serving the community since 1911. More than a hundred years later, if there's one thing that remains the same as it was back then is our commitment to customer service excellence. One of the questions we asked Richard Campbell, our Chairman in a recent chat was about what has helped the bank to be successful through the changing times and economic conditions. Richard's answer was simple: "Good old-fashioned values."
And what he means by that is even today, more than 100 years after the bank first started its operation, being true to serving customer needs has been and will always be the number one priority for every employee here. Richard himself joined the bank 41 years ago in September 1971. His father-in-law, G. Walter Boyles, had been with the bank for many years before that, having joined in February of 1929. Richard spoke about the tough times that the world faced with the economic crash, (in)famously known as the Great Depression of 1929. What kept Astra Bank afloat despite the challenges of that financial crisis was a balanced approach set on the foundation of strong ethical and business principles. The early insights he gleaned from his father-in-law (and mentor) played an instrumental role in shaping Richard's perspective on following a conservative approach to lending. "We always made sure that people had the capacity to repay and provide collateral to pledge on their loan."
Today, in an environment of increased and highly stringent banking regulation and disclosure norms, banks have no choice but to do their due diligence on every loan transaction. But even back in the day when we used to take care of all the record-keeping and documentation manually, our staff was trained to follow processes that made us efficient, customer-friendly and profitable.
The first lesson in customer service that Richard says he learned was that banking is not just about lending and borrowing money. It is about understanding customer needs—advising them on crucial financial decisions that would impact their life, their families and their business. With all the advances in technology, we have not lost sight of the fact that Astra Bank is successful because we help our customers to be successful. If we can show you a better way to save, invest, borrow or lend your money, we believe we can make a difference to your life—a positive one; and that is our ongoing commitment to each and every customer of Astra Bank.

For those who aren't familiar with the Darwin Awards, from the site Darwin Awards. Homo sapiens sapiens decline, Neo Sapiens rise. April 2012 , they are "Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it."
There are many great stories, this is my favourite....................
3 February 1990, Washington
The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree appeared to be the robber's first, due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:
1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms. A gun shop.
2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers.
3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door.
4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before work.
Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup, and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, covered by several customers who also drew their guns, thereby removing the confused criminal from the gene pool.
No one else was hurt.

Thanks MAG Game 19 Feb
Sorry about the comms situation. My son gave me back my headset and you guessed it. No power. Will recharge tonight.
I will also have to speak very quietly with the rest of the family asleep but hey I can be quiet. From time to time.
Just like to thank Chief (Trent_Steele), BoOchi777 and FunkyJ for the game.
Special thanks to BoOchi777 for putting the group togeather for a run.
I think the Group invite works well and really it's just down to how many want to get in on the act.
As Group Leader I wouldn't worry to much about waiting for responses from the guys prior to joining a game and would probably just pick Directed so the game will put you in a game based on numbers and requirements.
This allows the group Leader to just get on with it without asking everyone where the members of the group would like to go. Especially if some don't have comms.
Of course special requests would be considered and I'm sure no matter what game we are in we will all have fun none the less.
Happy to take some feedback on this so feel free to comment guys.
I do have a question. Is the group Faction specific like the Clan?
If not we could all just be in a single group prior to joining games so we stay togeather for a little TOG (Raven) v TOG (SVER) action.
The bad point to this would be that comms between members would have to be none directed. ie. don't give away your position to members from the other Faction but feel free to brag if you take one of them out.
or then again
Tell them your going for the cooling tower and head for the morter instead.
I will be on more then likely after 8:30 tonight maybe later. Will play for several hours and on & off most of the weekend.
See you in game.

Before I forget. Chief I saw your XP mate after each game and you are one hell of a player. Remind me never to be on the wrong side when playing against you.
Oh and BoOchi777.............thanks for the knife in the back on the first map we played on. I nearly pissed myself laughing.
Picture this guys......
We group up.
Make a decision on map.
We get into the game.
The anticipation is building as the timer runs down.
0 Timer arrives it's show time.
We appear in game.
Ancient_One clicks on the run button and heads off for the first location.
10 steps and Ancient_One is dead. (Knife in the back)
Appologies over the comms from BoOchi777 (Woops wrong button)
Remind me not to mess with you in future if your the Team Leader. Was it something I didn't say?
I think that deserves a reward what do you think Pure_Mongrel. Do we have one that fits.

Sounds like you have a few awards to give out mate.
As to the special one for BoOchi777, don't forget there is an award for creating an award
We do need one for this special "action" though. I would have won a few for dropping a grenade instead of a heal in the early days of MAG
The myriad combination of buttons for all the FPS games out there is to blame. (you should see what happens when the group switches from MW to R6V2 ... the amount of self kills from grenades is very funny!)
Maybe that could be the theme of the new award?

Was great fun, but a shame about it being so late, since I have to be quiet at that time as well. Doesn't help that we get downtime right in the middle of the Aussie peak time.
I did a bit of a timezone comparison and if they bumped that downtime to 2 - 3 hours earlier or later it wouldn't be so bad for us, and is still far from peak time for most other countries.
Anyway, no downtime on weekends and I can make as much noise as I want then, so hope some of you are up for a game this weekend.

Here is what I was thinking when this happened,Great job,we get a group together and my first time playing with most of you,and right out of the gate....bam I knifed you....Don't think it helps any that I just speced into extended knife reach either.
I switched my control set to the marksman one which puts the knife on the left trigger and aiming down the sights on the R3 button.In fire fights I have a bad tendency to accidentally push in the R3,nothing like trying to knife a guy half way across the map.
And again I bumped the darn button and you got a knife to the back of the head.
I have shot friendlies by accident before,granted they were usually the ones that ran in front of my bullets while I am shooting at someone.As for knifing someone well you were the first
Match I played before we all joined up I found out a few things,frustration mixed with a knife and a kamikaze mentality can clear a whole point real fast.Yeah I die,but it gives the squad a chance to grab the point while they all respawn.I tend to wonder if people just panic or what when someone just runs straight at them because that was the response I was getting,some people just froze,while others sprayed bullets at me.
If there are grenades in a game,It is almost a given I will kill myself.You have no idea how many times in Rainbow Six that I would go to throw a grenade through a door and have it bounce off the door frame.Guess it makes sense why I was so nervous around grenades during my combat training years back.
As for the mics,I was a little confused,yeah but I can understand as well.The battery life on these wireless seems pretty low.At a full charge mine was at the halfway mark in about two hours.Plus does not help when my wife is cranking a movie in the background and I am constantly muting to avoid background noise.Plus a usb mic,with either crazy cats running around or my wife tripping on the cord sort of sucks.
I am just glad you could hear me say oops......I know if my mic is not in I struggle to hear what people are saying.
Will be on tonight as long as the downtime does not hit again

I should respec and join the Medic Core.
No worries about the knife. When we took off for point B I noticed machine gun fire whiz past me initially and I thought sh_t someones got it in for me or has a tigger happy finger.
Then the knife. Are you sure it was an accident.

Ulcers with no known cause
Has anyone else had ulcers that were not caused by H. Pylori bacteria? My Dr. is puzzled why I developed 3 gastric ulcers when there are no known risk factors. I was taking an aspirin a day and drinking coffee, but he doesn't feel that was enough, that lots of people do the same and don't get ulcers. I am 45 and otherwise have been in very good health, except I had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago because of gallstones. I have been on Aciphex for 4 months and no longer have any symptoms, but the Dr. would like to do another endoscopy to see if the ulcers have healed. I'm worried that even if they have healed, they will return when I go off the med. Is this likely? Anything I can do to prevent it? I wish I didn't have to have another endoscopy, as I end up paying 80% of the cost and I'm still not caught up on my past medical bills.

What'd You Say?
Did you seriously just call that Cam Ward Fathead a POSTER?! Come on! That is a Fathead Wall Decal! FOR REAL! Fatheads are SO much bigger than posters, and an officially licensed Cam Ward graphic is huge. A Fathead stays up on its own with a low-tac adhesive that won't damage your walls, making this wall graphic easy to move and reuse.

As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.
Welcome to Fathead Nation!

If you happen to see a man riding a horse, moving gracious and elegant while alternating dance-like movements with others dominated by speed and masculine power; If you could easily understand how those bodies can enhance coordination skills, balance, explosiveness and harmony, defying gravity in such an obvious way that you might think they were about to commence that flight that has always been one of the major human ambitions, and you found it hard to understand how such bodies, so powerful and gracious at the same time, could indeed achieve all those fantastic manoeuvers, don't think you're surrounded by dreams, this is reality.

LG to Demo VoLTE and Video Calling Over LTE at MWC
There was news last week that the very first VoLTE (Voice over LTE) call had been made by Verizon Wireless, and now it's already prepped and ready for public demonstration. LG has announced plans to demo off both VoLTE and Video Calling over LTE using its very first 4G smartphone, the LG Revolution.
We're going to keep a close eye out to see if we can catch a demo ourselves, but we do have a press release talking about the ability to offer HD voice quality through this service using what they're calling the "One Voice" protocol, a standard they are expecting several cell phone manufacturers to adopt down the road.
Press Release:
Barcelona, Feb. 14, 2011 -– LG Electronics (LG) is aiming to up the mobile market ante with the world's first demonstration of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and Video call over LTE at this year's Mobile World Congress on the LG Revolution™, the first 4G LTE smartphone from LG.
Emerging from the GSMA initiative to create a global standard for delivering voice and messaging services over LTE, the "One Voice" protocol is expected to be widely adopted by mobile makers in the future with LG at the forefront of introducing the new technology to consumers.
"By showcasing the power of LTE, we hope consumers will better understand how fast mobile technology can be and help drive the industry closer toward this exciting reality," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Having been involved with Verizon in the joint development of the VL600 LTE modem in 2010, LG is well positioned to continue to lead the development of LTE technology."
Visitors to Mobile World Congress 2011 will be able to experience the faster and seamless high-quality voice and video calling via LTE at the LG booth (#8B178 in Hall 8, Fira de Barcelona). Superseding both 3G and Wi-Fi speeds, LG's LTE technology will ultimately change the way people make calls by utilizing established network carriers to provide HD voice quality through AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) wideband technology, while allowing users to maintain their existing phone numbers.
Unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month, the LG Revolution ™ running Android 2.2 features a large 4.3-inch screen and complete support for streaming, playing and recording HD video. The phone will be available in the U.S. in the first half of the year.

The group of athletes representing the U.S. at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi fought back from a near-disastrous start to claim bronze in the inaugural figure skating team event final on Feb. 9. A series of sterling routines claimed gold for home nation Russia, while a strong Canadian team took the silver.
After men's national champion Jeremy Abbott opened the competition on Feb. 6 with an error-pocked free program that left the team in seventh place, each subsequent performer in the short program round, including former two-time national champ Ashley Wagner, reigning national champion pairs skaters Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, and reigning World ice dance champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White, brought their best to the ice to earn a spot in the five-team medal round alongside teams from Russia, Canada, Italy and Japan.
On Feb. 9, fan favorite Jason Brown made his Olympic debut as he opened for the U.S. team with his enormously popular "Riverdance" long program. Despite an uncharacteristic fall, the skate landed him fourth place behind winner and home crowd favorite Evgeni Plushenko. National champion Gracie Gold followed with a spectacular performance that earned an impressive mark of 129.38, which topped her season-best by more than 11 points. She finished her segment second to only 15-year old Russian prodigy Julia Lipnitskaia, who is expected to contend for gold in the ladies' singles event.
Davis and White, who entered the Sochi Games favored to win ice dancing gold, performed last and didn't disappoint. Their stunning free skate set a new world record mark of 114.34 and toppled the score they set during December's Grand Prix Final.
Wagner, whose nomination to the team stirred controversy after a pair of bad skates left her a disappointing fourth at January's nationals, was giddy over achieving a podium finish in her debut Olympic event. She tweeted fans following the event, writing "I am an OLYMPIC MEDALIST!!! THANK YOU TO MY INCREDIBLE TEAM! Also huge thanks to our fearless leader @CharlieaWhite who led us 2 the bronze!"
Figure skating at the 2014 Sochi Olympics will continue Feb. 11 with the pairs short program. Castelli and Shnapir and teammates Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay will compete for team USA.

TCC gets donation from George Kaiser Family Foundation
The George Kaiser Family Foundation continues its support of TCC's Bridging the Gap program at Tulsa Community College's West Campus with a $325,000 donation to help fund scholarships for students who are majoring in child development.
(Photo: Ken Levit, Executive Director of the George Kaiser Family Foundation with TCC President Tom McKeon)
"Right now, we have a total of 76 students on scholarships. We definitely wouldn't exist and the students wouldn't have the opportunities that they have without the program and funding from the George Kaiser Family Foundation," said Jill Davis, Bridging the Gap program director.
The goal of TCC's program with the support of GKFF is to train more quality teachers in early childhood education for infants and toddlers.
Once accepted into TCC's Bridging the Gap program, students can complete two certificate tracks or get their associate degree in child development and transition to a four-year university through a partnership with the University of Oklahoma.
Davis said the GKFF donation helps students with tuition, fees and books and helps fund three staff positions including a child development mentor that act as a support network for the students.
She added she's personally grateful for Bridging the Gap and what it means, "I came from a teaching background and this was one way for me to help better the field of early childhood development."

Good Citizen Bonus
The Good Citizen Bonus is a small cash reward ($50) given to the player for knocking over criminals that are being chased by police officers. The player can use their fists, Brass Knuckles, a Baseball Bat or a Nightstick to knock over the criminal. However, if the player chooses to run over the criminal with a car, or the player chooses to use another weapon on the street criminal, they will receive an automatic wanted level. However, the player must be careful; if the player accidently attacks the police officer instead of the criminal or gang member, the player will receive an instant wanted level. Also, the gang member will try to attack the player once he gets up.
The Good Citizen Bonus appears in GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, but is absent in GTA San Andreas and the GTA IV Era.
- There is a glitch where the player can repeatedly stomp on the criminal and recieve the $50 bonus until the body disappears, even if the criminal is dead.
- There are rare occasions where a normal pedestrian will attack a police officer. Attacking these pedestrians will not give the player the Good Citizen Bonus. Instead, the player will receive an instant wanted level.

The IRC in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Congo is the world's least developed country in terms of life expectancy, education, standard of living and key health indicators, like maternal and child mortality. Following years of economic and political decline, the war of 1998-2002 led to extreme violence, massive population displacement and widespread rape. Despite several formal peace agreements, violence continues in eastern Congo, causing loss of life and uprooting families. The state is unable to provide protection and basic services to its people, who continue to suffer from poverty and neglect.
The Latest
How We Help
- The IRC provides emergency assistance to hundreds of thousands of people in eastern Congo.
- The IRC works with local organizations and helps survivors of sexual violence with counseling, medical care and legal assistance.
- The IRC empowers communities to identify their own development needs and design and manage their own recovery projects, such as schools and health centers.
- The IRC trains health and government workers, rehabilitates and constructs hospitals and clinics, and provides essential drugs.
- The IRC trains thousands of teachers and enables almost 500,000 children to access basic education in safe schools.
A study carried out by the IRC and our research partners indicates that group therapy has dramatically reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder among women survivors of sexual violence in Congo.
A series of landmark and peer-reviewed studies by the IRC and some of the world's leading epidemiologists conclude that an estimated 5.4 million people died from conflict-related causes in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1998 and 2007. The vast majority were not killed in combat. Most tragically died from malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition — easily preventable and treatable conditions when people have access to health care and nutritious food.

For a while now there's been a commercial on television with a little boy saying his dad doesn't wear a cape or can beam heat rays from his eyes or have super strength – but that his Dad is just "super."
Just as I was blessed having two moms, so was I blessed having two dads.
My father began working in a coal mine at the age of 11. His job was to lead the mule that pulled cars loaded with coal out of the mine. The mules were blind because they lived their entire live underground. Dad said he received 25 cents every two weeks from his paycheck. The rest of the money he earned went...

Vampire Academy: Rated "PG-13" (1 hour, 44 min.)
Starring: Danila Kozlovsky, Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Gabriel Byrne, Olga Kurylenko
Directed by: Mark Waters
Based on the eponymous series of young adult novels, Vampire Academy, is something of a mix between Harry Potter's magician school setting, Professor X's Mutant training academy, Sky High, and Mean Girls. The story is ostensibly about Rose Hathaway (Kozlovsky) and Lissa Dragomir (Fry) who are a pair of BFF high school students who are simply trying to get through the normal high school dramas – vicious rumors, ex-boyfriends and (unlike most other girls their age) no small amount of bloodlust. That's right, late nights and high stakes (real, wooden ones) are normal at St Vladimir's, better known as the Vampire Academy.
As it turns out, Vampire Academy is an academy that trains vampires and their defenders in the arts of being vampires, utilizing their magic, and, well surviving. Apparently there are three types of folks at the Academy, Dhampirs (those who train to be a bodyguard for the Moroi), the Moroi (Vampires), Strigoi (the evil undead vampires). Rose is Dhampir and Lissa is Moroi. The pair apparently left the Academy a year earlier and have been on the run, as Rose and Lissa (correctly) believed that there was a Strigoi plot to kill Lissa, who was a princess of one of the royal houses of vampires. Only they were discovered and brought back by Dimitri Belikov (Danila Kozlovsky) where they find themselves back in the mix of things.
Well, while this film (and presumably the books on which it was based) are clearly targeted at the same demographic as were Stephanie Meyers' Twilight series, only this film is sparklingly delightful, entertainingly engaging, and totally well worth watching. Mostly because of the fact that the teens in the film talk like actual teens, and the characters in the film have a clear sense of humor about themselves (and about the portrayal of vampires in popular fiction). Sure sure the film plays a little fast and loose with our pre-conceived notions of vampirism, but not so much as to twist it completely out of what we already seem to "know" about these mythical creatures of the night. This is a light, cute film, that doesn't take itself too seriously, and simply has a good time with itself, which makes it totally worth watching.

Sports Gossip: The Monday Morning Couch Potatoes
Page 2 of 3
Water Cooler Topic #3:
The death of the West?
A forgone conclusion became official last week, as the top two seeds in the West from last year's NBA playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers, failed to reach the postseason. Minnesota, the same team that won 58 games last year and had the league's MVP in Kevin Garnett, came back with largely the same squad and dropped 15 more games. Kobe Bryant's solo show in L.A. proved to be a dud, as the team went from 2004 Conference Champions to a 34-win, lottery-bound squad.
Adam's take: It is clear now that the so-called "basketball gods" are not fans of contract posturing and alleged rape charges. Going into every season you can be sure that the Hawks will stink, a Trailblazer will go to jail, a white guy will ruin the dunk contest, and KG and Kobe will be in the postseason. This year's anomaly seriously questions the age-old saying: "Nothing is certain in life, except death, taxes and bad Ben Affleck movies."
Peter's take: The Lakers were a bad joke this season: What happens when you replace arguably the best player to ever step on a basketball court, an NBA Hall of Famer, and the most feared point guard of the '90s with Chris Mihm, Brian Grant and Chucky Atkins? Well, the same thing that happens when you replace Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan and Jimmy Fallon with Finesse Mitchell, Kenan Thompson and Will Forte — disaster. As for the Timberwolves, they took a year off. Plain and simple. And I'm okay with that — everyone else is doing it. Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn, Britney Spears... why shouldn't Troy Hudson have his sabbatical, too?
Water Cooler Topic #4:
The surprise Dodgers
In the 2004 off-season, the NL West champion Dodgers lost players Steve Finley, Adrian Beltre and Brian Jordan to free agency. Closer Eric Gagne is injured, and unheralded Odalis Perez is the new Dodger ace. Yet, despite all this, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the hottest team in baseball to start the 2005 season.
Adam's take: People need to learn that divisions and leagues are not won in the off-season. If that were the case, the Redskins would have a dynasty, the Mavericks would be defending their fifth straight NBA title and the New York Rangers would have made the playoffs at least once over the past eight seasons. Nonetheless, there's reason to take notice of what's going on in Dodgerland. Granted, it's early in the season, but you can't help but get excited over an 12-2 start and a four-game lead in the division. Maybe now, Dodger fans will consider staying past the fifth inning.
Peter's take: Everyone is acting like Paul DePodesta is an absolute genius working with scrap metal this season. But let's relax a bit before we call the Dodgers' new GM the brightest mind in sports. That title obviously goes to Vince McMahon. But as long as Vin Scully keeps calling the games, Milton Bradley keeps going nuts, and the Chavez Ravine left-field bleachers remain a danger zone, the Dodgers will always be in the hunt. Heck, they won a World Series with Steve Sax playing second base.
Federline's legacy...

I don't know what's wrong with me
I've been foolish as a fool can be
Baby, I can't sleep at night
And I lost my appetite
Went to the doctor
But he don't know it's getting
Tell me baby, what I might gonna do
I believe I'm in love with you
I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me, baby, that you love me too
I can't fight, baby, I decided I'm in love with you
I guess this time I realize for you, baby, I got eyes
Come on baby and give me a chance
All I need is your romance
You know what I'm tryin' to fight
I'm telling you, baby, I'll be true
I believe I'm in love with you
I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me, baby, that you love me too
I can't fight, baby, I decided I'm in love with you

Rachel Held Evans concludes her blog post If my son or daughter were gay with this paragraph:
If God blesses Dan and me with a child who is gay, I would want that child to know without a doubt that he or she is loved unconditionally. I would want her to know nothing could separate her from the love of God in Christ. I would want her to know that she isn't broken, she isn't an embarrassment, she isn't a disappointment. May I be part of creating a world in which I will not have to protect her from the bullies.
I believe Rachel's motivation is to create a more welcoming and loving environment in the church for those who identify themselves as homosexuals, or who struggle with homosexual desire. I admire and agree with her motive, and must say that I've learned from her in this area of being much more careful in how I speak and write about homosexuality.
However, I would challenge Rachel in two areas.
First, she doesn't communicate any concern about the sinfulness of homosexual desires nor the immorality of homosexual actions. She seems to convey that homosexual desires are not part of human brokenness, and that to pursue homosexual practices does not have any bearing on a person's relationship with Christ. No matter what they do, they remain Christ's "little ones." There is no indication that she sees anything wrong or unbiblical about homosexuality.
Second, Rachel seems to identify everyone who takes the view that homosexual desires are part of broken human sinfulness, and that homosexual actions are sin, as bullies. Are there bullies who hold these views? Yes, sadly, of course there are. However, it's irresponsible and unfair to group all who say that homosexuality is immoral as bullies of Christ's little ones. In doing so, Rachel is, unwittingly I'm sure, aiding and abetting the militant LGBT movement who want to demonize and silence all opposition to their agenda.
I'd like to offer an alternative response to Rachel. It's not perfect either, I'm sure. Like many Christians I'm still learning how to respond to the social and cultural revolution of the past ten years or so. However, I think it is more biblical than Rachel's, without being bullying.
First of all, I'd say to any parent in this situation, to be thankful that your son (or daughter) told you; that he felt your relationship was strong enough and safe enough for this major disclosure. Tell him that you understand how this is one of the hardest things for a young person ever to admit to; that you realize it has probably been preceded by months, maybe years, of struggle, pain, and fear.
Second, assure him of your unchanged love in both word and deed. Put your arms around him, hug him tightly. Tell him that you will continue to seek his very best, as you have always done. Promise him that you will not disown him, reject him, throw him out, or cut him off. Rather you will continue to involve him in family activities and that you'll do everything in your power to ensure the rest of the family respond in the same way.
Third, STOP. Ask him for time to think and pray about what he's told you, even just for a day. It would be a grave mistake to start trying to ask "why?" or "how?" It would be an even greater mistake at this early stage to launch into sermon mode or to starting quoting bible verses. You need time to process this and he needs time to recover from the trauma of telling you. Ask him if it's okay to just press "pause" for a day as you think it through.

Sophomore setter Zarah Cecich
Sept. 15, 2012
Box Score | 2012 Pirate Invitational
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Junior Shelby Beasley was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Pirate Invitational after registering 18 digs in East Carolina's 3-2 (25-14, 25-18, 21-25, 22-25, 8-15) loss to Coastal Carolina Saturday night.
The Pirates (1-11) dominated the match to start as they hit .250 in the first set while limiting the Chanticleers (2-7) to a -.158 attack percentage. Beasley was solid on defense as she controlled the ball in the back row and paced East Carolina with her consistent and hard-nosed style of play. Offensively, the Pirates recorded nine kills in the first frame and cruised to a 25-14 win after taking the lead, 8-7 on a Beasley service ace and never looked back.
The smooth and confident energy ECU played with in the first set rolled over into the second, as the Pirates controlled the game hitting .333 as a team and held the Chants to a mere .143 hitting percentage. The Pirates also posted a 77-percent sideout ratio, their highest in the match. Junior Nicole Willis stepped up on offense and slammed a match-high 23 kills and added 13 digs for her sixth double-double of the year as she helped the hosts take set two by a score of 25-18.
After the 10-minute intermission, Coastal Carolina seemed to put the previous two sets behind it and fought hard to avoid the sweep. The Chanticleers did just that as they posted 14 kills in the frame and hit .282. Coastal's Meghan Laffin led the offense with a total of 19 kills and hit .368 on the night. Her balanced attack game helped the Chants even the score 13 times and battle back from dropping the first two frames and eventually win set three, 25-21.
East Carolina did not bat an eye at the setback; the Pirates jumped right back into game four and took a 4-1 lead. Setter Zarah Cecich controlled the ball well setting up 33 balls for as many assists on the evening. Despite falling behind, Cecich's steady hands helped the Pirates stay within striking distance and ECU eventually knotted the score at 22-all taking advantage of a Coastal attack error. However, the Chants would regain the lead and lay down three consecutive points to win the set, 25-22, and force a game five.
Having won the first two sets and letting the next two slip out of their fingers, the Pirates were determined and started the fifth and final set with a kill by Willis to make it 2-1, Coastal Carolina. Despite ECU's drive, the Chanticleers' defense was on point and held the Pirates to a -.048 attack percentage. The East Carolina offense began to struggle as well and was only able to notch four kills in the frame as it fell, 15-8.
Despite the loss, the Pirates turned in a solid overall performance and held the edge on sideouts with a 59-percent, while the Chants posted a 58-percent. Senior Kelly Derby helped set the tone for the Pirates as she recorded her fourth-straight match with nine total blocks. The Chapel Hill, N.C., native also added six kills and four digs for ECU. Junior Virginia Fitch led the Pirates with a .455 hitting percentage as she recorded five kills on 11 attacks without committing an error. Hannah Allgood was consistent once again as she tallied 14 digs, eight kills, and added a pair of blocks in the contest. In addition to 18 digs, Beasley also contributed a team-best four service aces and three assists. Willis added to her double-double performance with five block assists, while Cecich added seven digs, three kills on nine attempts for a .333 hitting percentage and a pair of block assists to go along with her 33 assists.
East Carolina travels to Southern Methodist on Friday, Sept. 21, to begin conference action. The Pirates and the Mustangs will square off at 8 p.m. (ET) time.

Honestly, we don't know how Amy Winehouse applies her cats-eye look, given that she's usually three sheets to the wind. Whenever we try liquid eyeliner or smoky eyeshadow, we look like lost a fistfight (just like Amy). Pixi's Smokey Eye Wand ($19) is the answer to our prayers. It's a silvery black shadow that's pressed into a wand applicator cap that blends on easily, even for those of us with less than perfect hand-eye coordination. Presto, instant seksi eyes!
you can get that look by using blacktrack fluid line by mac

Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early, in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

I went into RAW last night with high hopes. JR said in his Blog that the WWE had to really give us a great go home to the Royal Rumble on RAW, but I think they dropped the ball in a big way. There were some real shining moments in this RAW, but as a whole, it wasn't anywhere near as great as I expected it to be, and I think it needed to be. At this point it looks as though the buy rate for the Royal Rumble is resting almost solely on The Rock and Punk's backs. Okay, people want to know what will happen in the Royal Rumble Match, but the WWE Title Match is what will bring in a great man fans. The Rock might not have shown much in the ring over the past couple years, but he sure has star power behind him, and people will pay to see him.
RAW left us with more questions than answers, and was one of the few segments that worked wonderfully, but I want to talk about numbers right now. The WWE has announced that Cena, Sheamus, Orton, Ziggler, Cesaro, Barrett and the members of 3MB are all entrants in the Royal Rumble Match this Sunday. That's all well and good, but then they implied that the Prime Time Players, Miz and Team Hell No would also be involved in the match. Now, I don't know what the Prime Time Players would be in the match, other than as fillers, but the other three make some sense. Miz has main evented WrestleMania previously and his star is rising. Bryan is also someone who's more than proved himself in the WWE and will continue to be a top Superstar for many year to come. Kane holds more interesting stats for the Royal Rumble than anyone else.
Kane has been in more Royal Rumble Matches than anyone else at 14 (soon to be 15?) from 1999 to 2011.
Kane holds the record for the most eliminations in one match. He eliminated 11 Superstars in 2001.
Kane holds the record for most appearances in the Royal Rumble Match without winning – lucky him.
Kane holds the record for fastest elimination. In 2009 Kane eliminated Santino in just one second!
Kane holds the record for entering the Royal Rumble at the highest entry number. Kane was the #40 entrant in the 2011 Royal Rumble, the only Rumble with 40 entrants.
Even though Team Hell No is scheduled to defend their Tag Team Championship at the Royal Rumble, I don't see any reason they can't be in the Royal Rumble Match as well. In fact, it could do a lot to push their characters forward, and possibly give Kane more interesting records to hold, beyond being in 15 Royal Rumble Matches without winning any of them.
Beyond the names mentioned above, there's a few who joined in the locker room clearing fray at the end of RAW who absolutely should be in the Royal Rumble Match. First off, I think Kofi should be in the match as he's a very strong mid-card worker who would add a lot to the match. Brodus Clay would also be a natural for the match as he's a lot of fun. He'd be good to break up the match when it gets to serious, and it will be fun to see how he's eliminated. Seeing McGillicutty in the ring last night makes me wonder if he might be returning as a more regularly scheduled Superstar, and the Royal Rumble would be a great place for him to get noticed again. The same could be said for Hawkins, and maybe even Riley and Yoshi. It would be sad if Ryder wasn't in the Royal Rumble, but he's been passed over so much recently that I'll be shocked if he's actually seen on the PPV. It also would be sad if Khali was in the match, but as much as we've seen him on Smackdown, I'm willing to bet he'll be there.
That leaves just a few Superstars who were in the ring at the end of RAW, and sadly I don't think a couple of them will be missed. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if Primo, JTG, Gabriel and the Usos were not in the Royal Rumble. That leaves Sandow and Rhodes, who are hit or miss. They'd be great in the match, or they might not be in it due to their TTC Match. That leaves Ryback. I'll be absolutely shocked if Ryback doesn't come out and clear the ring at some point when things get too congested in there, as they always do.
Show Starts
Videos > A
I have to admit I was shocked at how short the opening Martin Luther King Jr. video was, but they made up for it later in the show. I will say that the narrator and the flashing buzz words on the screen were a bit much, but the thought was there, and that's the important thing.
In Ring Segment > B+
I still cannot get over the heat that Vickie gets. It's so much more than her husband garnered, even in his heeliest days. Who knew that both Eddie and his wife were such Superstars? She's continuing to do a beautiful job working the fans with her attitude and screech voice. It's even better when Heyman is with her. The fans love to hate them, and they milk it for all it's worth. The fact that Vickie actually had the guts to pull The Rock's catchphrase was impressive. I know it was scripted, but using such a big catchphrase takes a lot of intestinal fortitude, and Vickie sure has that!
Backstage Segment > B+
I couldn't help but split the opening of RAW into two segments because they really were two very different segment. The Rock, as always, handled himself quite well, and really set up for much to come later in the show. A very smart way to build for the big moment. This is something the WWE used to do a lot, back in the AE, but have let it slip by the wayside in recent years. It makes a lot of sense to bring it back with The Rock, but also to keep around, even when The Rock is back in Hollywood.
Beat The Clock Challenge Match – Orton vs Cesaro > B
The start of this match was a bit sloppy. Orton's Thesz Press looked really ungainly, and they seemed to fumble around a bit. If it wasn't these two, I wouldn't mention it, but they're both usually pretty spot on in the ring. It wasn't a terrible start, but enough that I noticed. They cleaned things up pretty quickly and got into a groove and gave a pretty solid match.
It was nice to see these two work the ring the way they did. I know I say it every week, but Cesaro impresses me more and more. No matter who he's in the ring with, he looks strong, and helps his opponent look strong. There's few wrestlers who can make almost everyone they face look better, and that's a wonderful skill. I'm kind of bummed that we didn't get to see Cesaro hit his finisher on Orton, as he's proven he can hit it on absolutely anyone and make it look like a viable and strong move.
They didn't do a very good job of keeping the match short, but that's the way it was booked. I will say it was nice to see Orton hit the RKO without pounding the mat. He's going to end his own career while slamming his own arms on the mat.
Winner – Orton (11:36)
HOF Video > A
I've said many times that Foley is one of my top five favorite wrestlers of all time. He's sexy, quirky, creative and downright crazy. He's done things with his body that no sane man would even fathom, and made a career out of doing it, because he loves it I'm thrilled that Foley is being inducted into the WWE HOF. If anyone wants to bring me to the ceremony as their guest, I'm not at all adverse to that. While going to WrestleMania would be fun, this year's HOF ceremony is something I'd rather attend.
Video > B
This was a really solid recap video for The Shield. It didn't make a lot of sense me why they showed this when they did, but I held out hope that there was something behind it. Since it was the go home to the Royal Rumble, obviously they wanted to remind us of The Shield and the destruction they've caused over the past couple months and why they're doing what they're doing. I think it was a well executed video that made all three members look strong, and make us wonder what they might be up to in the coming week.
Big Show vs Ryder > C-
This match did help set up for the WHC Match between Big Show and ADR at the Royal Rumble, but it was also a terrible distraction with Maddox. I'll fully admit that I haven't watched last week's Main Event yet, so I didn't know that Maddox interfered on announce, so I was confused about this. I'm hoping they have a plan for Maddox because right now he's more annoying than anything. I know he's supposed to be annoying, but this isn't heel annoying, it's go the heck away annoying. Maddox has overstepped that fine line, and I'm disgusted by his appearance on WWE TV in any way, shape or form.
Of course Big Show was going to destroy Ryder, and quickly. I feel bad for Ryder and the direction his career has taken. I honestly don't know what he can do at this point to help himself out, but matches like this only continue to hurt him. In reality, the best part of this match was the fans cutting in on Big Show's counting ("What?") and pissing him off enough that he left the ring. Thank you SCSA!
Winner – Big Show (0:50)
Backstage Segment > C
While Heyman is suddenly all about Maddox, the whole thing has the feel that they've been in kahoots all along. I'm wondering how this is all going to play out, and I'm hoping they don't go in the obvious directions, but only time will tell.
Slater vs Ryback > B-
Showing Ryback looking so strong on the go home RAW was great booking. Of course Ryback is a top name going into the Royal Rumble Match, so making him look so strong, by taking out all of 3MB, keeps him on our mind. I have to say that I think Ryback is a top contender in the Royal Rumble Match. Not saying I'm picking him to win, just that he's been booked strong on TV, but he keeps getting screwed on PPVs. When better for Ryback to turn around his PPV losses by winning the Royal Rumble? Personally, I think winning in an Elimination Chamber Match would make more sense, but that's just me.
Winner – Ryback (1:20)
Backstage Segment > B+
The Rock and Vickie work so well together. It was fun to watch Vickie keep The Rock on his toes, and even seemed to throw him off kilter when she said, "Damn right!" about him apologizing to her. I just think it's great that The Rock isn't the only one who's dropping the PG initiative. Not that what Vickie said was so horrible, but it's something we wouldn't have heard two years ago. Thankfully times are changing, and for the better.
Video > C
Ugh, RAW Roulette? Why are they taking my favorite PPV and following it up with the worst idea the WWE has ever had shy of the Gobbledy Gooker? I'd rather see Braden Walker on RAW than RAW Roulette!
In Ring Segment > A-
Punk was really strong on mic. I like how they changed things up with Punk holding his belt and Heyman holding the mic for him. It's little things like that that change the whole feel of a segment. Punk has a way with words and continued to heighten the coming match on Sunday. While he might not have the flash of The Rock, he sure manages to get the fans riled up. It's Punk's way of doing things, and I think he does a wonderful job of it, and it's a nice dichotomy to The Rock's over-the-top mic work. I know some people just don't understand why people love Punk, but I think he's fantastic.
Beat The Clock Challenge Match – Ziggler vs Miz > B+
Both of these guys went into this match with the right idea. The early and often pinfall attempts made much more sense than the way Orton and Cesaro worked the ring. Miz and Ziggler have an interesting in-ring chemistry. I hope that later, when one of them is Champ, they have a solid feud over the Championship, because I think they could give us something very special.
The fan reaction to Miz using the figure 4 was great to hear. I'm wondering if there's going to be more interaction between him and Flair in coming weeks, and if that was the plan for Flair when he was scheduled to be on RAW. Either way, it's a great addition to Miz's arsenal. Ziggler also has some new additions to his arsenal, but they are in the form of Big E and AJ. Those two have been winning Ziggler's matches for him since they got together, and while it works for Ziggler being a heel, I worry that it will get old very quickly – the way it did for the nWo, and for Trip when Steph was helping him win. It works for a while, but too much of it is not a good thing. I think it would work better if Ziggler was Champ and they were doing this, but at the rate he's going, he will be Champ and they will continue doing it.
Winner – Ziggler (10:56)
WWE Slam of the Week > B
The segment between Team Rhodes Scholars and Team Hell No with Shelby was wonderful last week, and it set up really well for the following segment.
Anger Management Graduation > B+
I loved how most of the graduation was handled. Kane was silly, Bryan volatile, and Shelby brainless – as they always are. They stayed in character and all pushed it all a little further. Some might say it took up too much time and was too kitchy, but I thought it did a great job of bringing the fans into the love while pushing the characters of Bryan and Kane – Kane and Bryan telling everyone to hug and getting so excited about it almost had me on the floor laughing. Kane especially had me giggling, and I don't think this would have worked for him if he was unmasked. I think this was perfectly timed, and another step in the evolution of the characters. Depending on what happens in their match at Royal Rumble, their characters could be in for a huge change, so this could have been closure in some ways. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoy their little backstage segments. That Dr. Shelby had the fans chanting for him should show just how much the fans have enjoyed this story arch.
Fox vs Kaitlyn > C
I've never been a fan of Fox's. She's suffered from a severe case of Matt Morgan Syndrome during her time in the WWE. We never know from one week whether she will be heel or face, or what her character might be up to. She might actually be a Diva worth reckoning if she worked on her ring skills and had a character that was at all cohesive.
All women despise each other? King said it, and I'm shocked there hasn't been more ire thrown at him for this one. I know it was an offhanded comment, but Cole latched onto it and I see it growing into something bigger.
I have to admit that I like that Kaitlyn has adopted the spear as her finisher. She hits it well and looks good doing it. She's a very strong woman who makes that move look fantastic every time she hits it. The question is will she be able to hit it on Tamina? With Tamina watching the match backstage, it looks as though she might be Kaitlyn's next big feud. Hopefully it will actually be a big feud with a storyline, not just two Divas in the ring fighting over the belt because the WWE needs Divas fighting over the belt. Sad to see how far the Divas Division has fallen, and this match wasn't at all the worst of it.
Winner – Kaitlyn (2:06)
Backstage Segment > C+
Heyman and Punk basically did nothing of interest, so I can't really give them anything more than average for that little segment.
In Ring Segment > A
So, Heyman needs to dumb it down for the fans? I loved Heyman use of fait accompli, and calling The Rock the flavor of the month. He actually did a wonderful job in this segment, but Pauly has always been great on mic and at ripping down whoever is the subject of his ire at that particular moment. But he was also smart at fleeing the ring when The Rock told him to.
As I said earlier, The Rock is much flashier than Punk on mic. It is what it is, as that's who The Rock is. It seems as though The Rock's always on, and in character. I'm actually wondering what he's like when he's not The Rock, and not playing one character or another. Beyond that, he did a really solid job of talking up to Punk's purple glowing sky box. It was nice to hear him say he'll rip Punk's face off, losing what could have been the perfect time for a catchphrase. I have to admit that I didn't like the use of Martin Luther King's speech, but I understand why he did it.
It was nice that The Rock's segment was kept short and to the point. I said that last week about The Rock Concert, and how they reigned The Rock in this time, not giving him endless time. It worked last week and it worked here for The Rock. I was bummed that The Rock didn't step into the ring for an actual match before the Royal Rumble, but the attack by The Shield helped that a bit. The Rock solid the attack well, right down to the drooling blood. Internal injuries from the attack? The Rock knows how to play the fans. The Rock especially knows how to use social media to get the fans riled up, and he did that today talking about internal injuries. I don't know a lot about genealogy, but would The Rock and Reigns be cousins?
Punk sealed up this segment with poignant words that were even stronger than what he spoke in the ring. This entire segment was greatness tied up with a little bow. This was probably the best segment for building for the Royal Rumble – just sucks that it wasn't a build for the Royal Rumble Match.
Beat The Clock Challenge Match – Barrett vs Sheamus > A-
Timed matches like this one, when they have to make everything work down to the second, always impress me. It takes everyone involved to make it work out the right way, and one false move will make the whole thing crumble. While all involved had to play their roles at the right time, it was Sheamus who really had to make sure he hit his brogue kick at the right time, but not have the time to pin Barrett. I will say that the brogue kick was one of the crappier ones I've seen, and it was a bit rushed, but I don't think it was all Sheamus' fault. I think it's just the way things went down when they got close on time.
Leading up to the timed ending was a solid match between two men who have grown and changed so much over the past couple years. I wasn't a fan of either of them from word go, but they both worked hard and grew on me. Barrett has, especially since returning from his dislocated shoulder, really shown me that he's worth watching and could be a top Superstar on the roster for years to come, along with Sheamus. The two of them work the ring together so well, and went back and forth in a wonderful way in this match. It's great to see two strong competitors really let it all out in the ring, as they did in this match. This was not at all one sided, and the two of them really earned this grade.
Winner – N/A
Backstage Segment > B+
Now that's a swerve! I didn't expect that Vickie would make the winner of the Beat The Clock Challenge to pick #1 or #2, but I also didn't expect Ziggler to win dirty and rub it all in Vickie's face when his ego took over. It really was a great swerve, and the type of thing than makes the WWE worth watching. It's a little thing, but it makes watching so much more entertaining.
Backstage Segment > B
The question is did VKM make this stip for the WWE Championship Match at the Royal Rumble a swerve so we will think that Punk will cheat and retain only to be stripped of the belt and The Rock will have to earn it later, or just something to make us not quite sure that The Rock will be winning the WWE Title on Sunday? Either way it's an interesting idea. I have to admit that I was spending so much time mulling it over that I missed VKM's slip of the tongue.
ADR vs Tensai > B-
I wonder what the future plans for Albert are. He's turned into more of a joke now than he was when he came to the ring in his fur sweater. It's actually kind of sad.
On the other hand ADR is blossoming! I have been one of his biggest detractors this past year, and for good reason. ADR stopped phoning it in way back, and really hadn't even been that good, but this face turn has turned him into a new man. I know he was a face most of his time in Mexico, and it obviously agrees with him. For the first time in quite a while ADR is believable, and seems to actually care about working for the WWE. Since he stopped talking about his destiny and started caring about Ricardo, his mic work has grown by leaps and bounds. And then there's his ring work! Okay, so the moonsault he hit in this match was way off its mark, but it's the fact that he's going back to his roots and starting to fly in the ring. That he's actually doing more than attacking his opponent's left arm and locking on the cross arm breaker until they tap out, actually makes his matches worth watching. While facing big guys like Albert and Big Show are not very conducive to the changes in his ring work, he's made it work. Further, I'm sure his ring work will be off the hook when he's in the ring with Superstars of a size. Personally, it's the fact that he hit that sick hurricanranna on Big Show, and then flying head scissors on Albert, and how well they were executed, gives me hope that ADR has a big future in the WWE – something that I didn't want to see only a couple months ago. I know that those two moves were mostly the work of Big Show and Albert, but it's the fact that ADR's changing up his ring work that means the most to me. I must admit that I'm shocked that Albert worked that move the way he did after the way he'd been sandbagging people in the ring. I guess someone spoke to him about it.
Winner – ADR (1:31)
In Ring Segment > D- + B
I'm completely at a loss with this last segment of RAW. This needed to be something that made the fans want to tune in on Sunday, instead Cena rambled on and on while talking to various fans in attendance and did nothing but bore and confuse the fans. Cena really stunk up the place, and that's after they advertised his little speech through the entire episode of RAW. Hopefully VKM learned something from this segment and how badly it flopped. The next time VKM wants Cena to have way too much time to talk to the fans about nothing important, or even if it is important, I hope he remembers this horrible segment and put the kibosh on it. Please, please put the kibosh on it!
I actually really enjoyed the way different Superstars kept coming out and stating that they would be the one to win the Royal Rumble. As per usual, I thought Bryan and Kane were the best as this fell right into their hands as a great thing for them to argue about.
The brawl in the ring either gave away too many people for the Royal Rumble Match, so I'm willing to bet that they won't all be involved in the match. Gone are the days that we know all the entrants and their numbers before the PPV even starts and I'm very happy about that because I'm excited to see who could be surprise entrants in the match.
While this was mostly a piss poor go home to the Royal Rumble, I'm still all atwitter about the Royal Rumble this weekend. It's not just because The Rock will finally be facing Punk after six months of us having to wait around and wonder if Punk was going to retain through each PPV. If it hadn't been for so much talk and so little action, especially Cena's talking, RAW might not have been that bad, but sadly they really screwed up and left the fans with quite a mess of three hours to watch. The Royal Rumble is my absolute favorite PPV, so I'm very excited, despite the RAW they gave us last night.

Reviews for Oatmeal Brulee with Ginger Cream
"I made this recipe for Christmas last year and plan to make it again this year. It was absolutely delicious and I don't even like oatmeal! I prepared the oatmeal the night before except for broiling. In the morning, I warmed the oatmeal and then proceeded to the broiling step.This is definitely a recipe worth keeping!"
"I have made this recipe several times. It's a great way to liven up plain old oatmeal. So delicious!"
"I have made this recipe for the last 3 years on Christmas morning and my family looks forward to it every year. I make 80% of this recipe the day before, too, so Christmas morning assembly takes almost no time."
"Awesome. Very tasty! My guests all loved it, even the folks who don't like oatmeal. Make extra, it reheats well."
"Just made it for breakfast this a.m. and it made a hit with all of us. I did take some liberty with the directions. I cut out ginger cream and added orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and part of the butter to the cooking oatmeal. I added 1/4 cup half and half to the cooked oatmeal before putting in the ramekins and kept some half and half out for self serve when eating. It was still delicious and much quicker by taking out the first step. I'd give it 5 stars with either method!"

Club Lago Restaurant Review: Club Lago is an institution (it's been around since 1952) that has been parked forever in a no-time zone. An Old Wave place that suddenly found itself surrounded by New Wave eateries, it didn't cave in --- it just got more popular. We like to sit at the bar and watch the bartender pour from the gallon jugs of wine. The food fits the place. Nothing fancy, no-frills, just good, inexpensive eating: minestrone soup, spaghetti and meatballs, baked clams, calamari, chicken tetrazzini, eggplant Parmigiana --- the basics. Sandwich-centric lunch specials are a particularly good deal, especially given the restaurant's penchant for big portions, so load up on a salami panino while the getting is good.

Roelli Cheese Haus
Dunbarton BlueFourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More
