Cruise passengers returned to Cozumel today for the first time since Hurricane Wilma crashed ashore in October -- and officials and businesses in the popular Western Caribbean port have welcomed them with open arms by organizing "Festival del Mar Caribe," a weeklong festival.
Throughout the week, the events will center around Town Square, which has been transformed into a lively entertainment venue celebrating the sights, sounds and tastes of the island. A few highlights of the festivities include dance performances, roving mariachi bands and street vendors selling local crafts and paintings.
Celebrity's Galaxy and Carnival Triumph were the first to arrive today, but are just two of a dozen ships calling at Cozumel this week (ships will tender passengers to San Miguel's ferry piers for the foreseeable future, as Cozumel's three piers are in need of repair). The rest of the schedule is as follows:
Tuesday: Star Princess, Norwegian Sun and Jewel of the Seas
Wednesday: Carnival Miracle, Norwegian Majesty, Coral Princess and Zenith
Thursday: Legend of the Seas
Friday: Rhapsody of the Seas
Saturday: Enchantment of the Seas
Hurricane Wilma pounded Cozumel with 125-mile-per-hour winds; the eye hovered above Cozumel and nearby Cancun for two days before heading to Florida.

Ashton Kutcher Divorcing Demi Moore So He Can Marry Mila Kunis, Says Mag
"Ashton Kutcher plunged the final knife into the heart of his estranged wife Demi Moore," begins a sensationalized piece from the National Enquirer, which alleges that the actor "filed for divorce so he can finally marry Mila Kunis and have the child he's always wanted."
The supermarket tabloid claims Kutcher filed papers last week — more than a year after he and Moore separated — only because Kunis gave him an "ultimatum."
A supposed "source" tells the mag, "Mila was sick and tired of Ashton dragging his heels," alleging, "She finally told him if he didn't divorce Demi she'd kick him to the curb."
The purported "insider" says Kutcher conceded, and is open to paying off Moore in the divorce settlement "just to get rid of her."
Now, the tab's so-called "source" expects Kutcher and Kunis to "make their announcement any day now!"
Yeah… don't hold your breath.
Gossip Cop checked in with a Kunis pal, who tells us it's completely "untrue" that she gave Kutcher any such "ultimatum," nor is it accurate that the pair plans to marry any time soon.

Is there a setting in VLC to change default audio output to 5.1?
I felt the need to resurrect this as it's pretty high up on search results and the solution no longer works for v2.0.2—however, I finally found a fix!
This was a bit confusing for me as well. I have 7.1 audio on my system. VLC always defaulted to stereo audio. Then I finally figured it out. You must have your sound cards speaker configuration set to 5.1 or else VLC will not choose the 5.1 track. I thought that 7.1 set for speaker configuration on my sound card would work for anything so the system would play 5.1 or 7.1 if available. But apparently with VLC, and maybe some other programs, your system must match exactly or it will not recognize your settings. This is a feature that the VideoLan team needs to fix. With the advent of 7.1 audio VLC needs to recognize that it can play 5.1 audio on a 7.1 system.
There's also the respective setting in the GUI version of the settings under "Audio->Effects->Dolby Surround". Is has the options "Auto", "On" and "Off".
From what I understand, it should automatically detect whether the source media is surround sound or not.
Only if your audio format is dts/dolby digital 5.1, the 5.1 channel could activated in VLC. If the original file is of only stereo type, the 5.1 option will not get highlighted in the above said menu. You try using SURCODE DTS and Gold wave software for converting a stereo file into user defined 5.1 DTS file.
Much better solution if you want to respect the audio mapping produced by VLC:
Now if someone feel this workaround as a proper solution, you can do it like this :
Hope that will be helpful for someone...
open VLC> go to preferences> select all mode in the bottom left corner> select audio> find stereo audio output mode> select Dolby Digital Surround at bottom of list. As of 2.1.5 VLC.

Next week Hallmark is going to air a new movie called "June in January." On Jan. 11, Broadway World posted about this new movie that looks like a great way to spend a Saturday night. Are you planning to watch it?
Brooke D'Orsay is also in the movie and plays a woman who is newly engaged. She has her dream wedding on her mind, but her future mother-in-law played by Marilu Henner is going to try to make things go her own way instead of the way that Brooke's characters wants it to all go down.
Her new fiance gets a job offer and they have to move the wedding to January. This is going to be mean getting everything ready in a hurry. Can it all go down okay without a huge fight? This one is going to be hilarious to watch and worth setting the DVR.
"June in January" will air at 8 p.m. CST in the Oklahoma City area on Jan. 18 on Hallmark channel. Please like my Facebook to stay up to date on the latest in entertainment news.

It's all well and good that women are now allowed to fight in combat, but why would they want to? Promotion is not an issue--if it were, then every man that fought in battle would be a General.
Additionally, there is no need for women to fight in battle. Our military is the finest in the land and there is no shortage of men willing to go toe-to-toe, mano-y-mano with those who dare cross us. Not to be a pig, but men should take care of women--from opening doors to going to battle.
Lastly, there is no volunteering when it comes down to fighting battles. As a man, when you're told to go, you go, any man with the right skill set, from administration to engineering. Such is not the case with women. Now, personell specialists need to pick and choose which woman is willing to go fight in close combat. Women worked well and succeeded in all our wars back-filling in for duties traditionally held by men, but away from direct combat.
What are we saying to our mothers, daughters and sisters? The prejudice withstood by Blacks, Indians, and Asians can not be compared to tears and lawsuits women use to be accepted.

I am planning to practice on 2 old guitar necks i have laying around and I want to learn to Inlay with the frets in the neck.
1. Should I buy a small block of Rosewood and Ebony to make sawdust for coloring the epoxy... or can i just use removed material from routing...
2. Im wanting to do this with the frets on..so does anyone have good advice for this... I know it Limits the complexity of the design for the inlays...
3. Should i buy a real router or should i use a dremal tool with a router attachment..
1. I always have lots of scrap lying around so I use that. I wail on it with a medium-fine file to get really fine dust. That packs into the cavities better. I suppose one could capture the ebony dust from routing, but if you want to see, you don't want it hanging around (more on this later). And you want it to be clean! You don't want any extra crap in it.
You could buy some cutoffs on ebay or LMI usually has a bunch of ebony bridge blanks and such on clearance. Go here:
Luthiers Mercantile International, Inc. Guitar Builder Wood and Supplies
and select "CLEARANCE"
Rosewood is a little more tricky because the dust usually darkens in the glue, so it won't match as well. It depends on the particular piece of rosewood. I've got some that stays surprisingly light and some that gets really dark. You have to do a little test in scrap or just deal with having your mistakes look darker.
2. I have not done anything with the frets on yet. I'm luck enough to work with a fine custom builder so I've gotten all unfretted raw fretboards so far. It is doable though.
3. I know tons of people who have done loads of inlay work with a Dremel. A "real" router is only going to get you in trouble a lot faster. Their plastic base sucks though. It's probably ok to start, but the base Steward McDonald makes is better (
Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Parts, Tools, Supplies, Free Information at Stewart-MacDonald
), but not perfect. That's what I'm using right now and it's serviceable. I'm working on designing my own though.
For routing I use a Foredom flexshaft tool because it's got more torque and better bearings. It's an awesomely flexible system with tons of different handpieces and it's built like a tank. But you certainly don't need one of those.
There are lots of things you can do to get the dust out of the way whilst routing. Some people use an aquarium pump or air compressor. A neat little trick I found online is to make a little flag out of masking tape. Maybe an inch long and 1/8" high. Wrap this around the top of your end mill (just before the flutes start) and it'll whirr around like crazy and fling dust away.
I'll leave #4 for the next post...

There are so many amazing cannabis cultivators in San Fran this weekend, we decided to ask the question: What's your favorite grow tip?
Swerve: The Cali Connection breeder
"People don't realize that during the vegetative cycle, calcium and magnesium is super crucial. Build a solid foundation of nitrogen and Cal/Mag that will allow you to lead through flowering without having to add additional nitrogen. Cal/Mag is your friend!"
Check out their newest strain release, the "22"! It's a Jack cross that's all terpenes. Swerve calls it a "blaster's dream."
DJ Short: DJ Short Genetics breeder
"Instead of 12 hours on and 12 hours off during the flowering cycle, try 11 hours on and 13 hours off. You'll save money on electricity as well as improve your resin production. I find that it works especially well with tropical sativas, my favorite plants to grow, breed with and smoke."
Aaron Justis: Buds and Roses CEO
"Don't just focus on lowering costs. That's a race to the bottom. Quality is all about what makes you stand out from the rest. You can still make your margins by charging what it's worth."
Todd McCormick: Activist/Grower/Patient/Drug War Veteran/Connoissuer
"Curing is the most important thing. You have to make sure that humidity and high temperatures don't steam away the terpenes. You can actually make hemp smoke good if you dry it slowly and cure it properly. It won't get you high, but it will have the scents and flavors."
Adam Dunn: TH Seeds breeder, Hemp Hoolamb proprietor
"Investment in controlling gear can never be underestimated. The average amount of time you spend in the growroom is two hours a day. Your plants are there 24/7. Constant continuous steady temperature and humidity rates result in higher yields and sugar levels etc. Temperature swings are only good for the end of the life cycle. The last two weeks."
James Loud: Loud Seeds breeder
"The most important thing is to start with good genetics. Keep it simple by adding one new thing at a time to see the positive and negative effects of new nutrients and techniques."
Kyle Kushman: Kyle Kushman Genetics breeder
"Vaganics is the evolution of agriculture."
Scott Reach: Rare Dankness breeder
"Find the grow style that suits you. Hydro, soil, indoor, outdoor, doesn't matter, just grow because you love the plant and want to see it free."
Brian Rubin: Maryland Hydroponics (a.k.a. Brian R. of the Potomac Indica)
"1. Spend the extra money for the seeds. 2. Don't tell anyone you spent the extra money for the seeds."
"Loafmaster": Seedless Clothing proprietor
"Think green and GROW your mind!"
Madeline Martinez: World Famous Cannabis Cafe
"Cleanliness is the biggest thing. Growrooms should be sanitary to avoid pests and pesticides which is most important for the patients."

Six Flags Themed Parks and Weekly Reader are sponsoring their 2009-2010 Six hour reading club, part of the Read to Succeed program. The Read to Succeed program is a free language arts program sponsored by both of these organizations. Local schools and their students are participating in this event in order to get wild about reading.
Children in grades K-6 are eligible to take part in this Reading Club. Each child, taking part, must read recreationally for six hours, or 360 minutes. Students and parents need to keep track of their own reading time, on the reading logs supplied through participating schools. When each log has been completed and initialed by parents, students then turn the completed forms into their teachers by the schools deadline. (Schools must have all forms turned in by March 3, 2010.)
Children may read books, magazines, comic books, or newspapers on their own time to count towards this reading club membership. What does not count as reading towards this membership is anything that a child must read for homework. They are trying to encourage reading for pleasure, therefore homework time doesn't count. A child may read out loud to a parent, a parent may read out loud to a the child, or the child may read silently to themselves. However, reading is a fabulous way to spend some one on one time with your child.
Once a student's reading log has been turned in to their teacher with 6 completed hours of reading, your child will then be entered as a member of the Six Hour Reading Club. Along with being a member they will receive a free admissions passport to the Six Flags theme parks. On each ticket there will be discount information for family passports so that it is easier for families to actually celebrate the success of their child's reading.
This is a fabulous, free program, designed to get parents to spend time with their children while encouraging them to read. Grab a book, show some love, and get wild about reading!

Leah Calvert has caught a lot of backlash following the airing of this season's "Teen Mom 2."
Years ago, Leah was highly criticized after admitting to cheating on her then-husband Corey Simms, and just as she was starting to catch a break, fans have once again turned on Leah for her treatment of her currently husband Jeremy.
Although Leah insists she's grateful for her husband, she doesn't always act like it on the show. Instead, she's often seen complaining about Jeremy and his not understanding her responsibilities. While being a mother certainly is a hard job, especially with three kids, Leah doesn't have to work or go to school because of her husband's high paying job.
Most people would be thrilled to have someone in their life that supports them and their three child, allowing them to focus solely on being a mother, which has resulted in tons of criticism and backlash.
In the wake of it all, Leah has spoken out on Twitter, revealing her hopes for her fans in the future.
"I think I'm a pretty strong person with a big heart♡ && I truly hope others can see that...," Leah wrote on Twitter on Sunday night.
For more of Leah Calvert, tune into "Teen Mom 2" on Tuesday at 10 p.m. on MTV.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes has been filming the show since the beginning and she is close friends with Cynthia Bailey. However, NeNe and Cynthia's husband Peter have started butting heads and it appears that they are not exactly getting along these days. On Twitter, they have been slamming on another after watching the show. According to a new report published on April 4, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes is now being called weak by Peter Thomas and one has to wonder if this could ruin the friendship that they do have.
"I respect everyone's opinion," Peter has revealed after the fight with NeNe's husband, Gregg, adding, "but 1 thing I won't do is allow people 2 b wreckless in how they talk 2 me or @CynthiaBailey10. PERIOD! #RHOA." He got plenty of tweets from fans, including, "@PeterThomasRHOA handled NeNe w/ true class and patience cause another man might not have been so calm and collected ...#rhoa" and "@PeterThomasRHOA good walking away, shows what a classy man you are..... you could have knocked that ninjas out.... lol," both of which he retweeted. He also added, "Lies lies lies, and more lies."
The "lies" comment was made around the time that NeNe was on the screen, so many people thought he was referring to her. However, it sounds like he was just stating his opinion about the stories that were being told, but he did call NeNe weak. "I never argue with these girls I just state my opinion and some of these girls don't like that. Especially by the weak ones," he revealed. He added that "people" can never admit that they are wrong.
Of course, NeNe and Peter used to be close friends, but people feel that NeNe has changed after she stayed in Hollywood for a couple of months, filming two shows. Maybe Peter is just confronting NeNe because of her behavior and he is the only one who isn't scared of speaking his mind.
What do you think?

Rubén Blades Bellido de Luna, professionally known as Rubén Blades, is a Panamanian salsa singer, songwriter, actor, Latin jazz musician, and activist, performing musically most often in the Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz genres. As songwriter, Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of Central American nueva canción and Cuban nueva trova as well as experimental tempos and politically inspired Nuyorican salsa to his music, creating thinking persons' dance music. Blades has composed dozens of musical hits, the most famous of which is "Pedro Navaja," a song about a neighborhood thug who appears to die during a robbery, inspired by "Mack the Knife." He also composed and sings "Patria", which many Panamanians consider their second national anthem. He is an icon in Panama and is much admired throughout Latin America and Spain, and managed to attract 18% of the vote in his failed attempt to win the Panamanian presidency in 1994.

Director Barry Shear spent the majority of his 30-year career in television, with only four feature films in his résumé. 1968's "Wild in the Streets," his first movie, was a broad yet subversive satire about a pop singer who gets elected President when the voting age is lowered to 14; "Across 110th Street," from 1972, is regarded as one of the best films of the Blaxploitation genre, while 1973's "The Deadly Trackers" is an under-appreciated, ultra-violent American spaghetti western revenge drama that fits right in with the director's bleak worldview. The other item in Shear's filmography is his darkest, the 1971 true crime tale "The Todd Killings" a/k/a "A Dangerous Friend" a/k/a "What Are We Going to Do Without Skippy?"
Based on the real life case of mid-'60s murderer Charles Howard 'Smitty' Schmid, Jr., the so-called "Pied Piper of Tucson," who killed three teenage girls, the first for kicks, the other two to cover up the first one. Schmid enlisted the help of an adoring group of high school kids as his accessories after the fact.
"The Todd Killings" changes the names of the principals ("To protect the innocent...and in some cases, the guilty."), and updates the action to 1970. Robert F. Lyons plays Skipper Todd, a would be singer-songwriter who drives a groovy green dune buggy and specializes in statutory rape. The film opens in the desert, with Todd and two of his teenage accomplices burying the body of Sue Ellen, choked to death by Skipper because he "wanted to know what it felt like to kill somebody."
The script, by Dennis Murphy and Joel Oliansky, stacks the deck pretty heavily against Skipper, who is, after all, a sociopathic sleazeball, and based on an equally unsympathetic guy. Unfortunately, Lyons, a 31 year old playing a 23 year old who sleeps with 16 year olds, ups the ick factor without demonstrating the charisma necessary to make his idolatry credible. It is one of the creepiest performances in the history of cinema, but still falls short of actually humanizing the character.
Lyons is still a working actor, primarily on TV. "The Todd Killings" remains his only lead role.
As the frigid rich girl Roberta, the lovely Belinda J. Montgomery (along with her real life little sister Tannis) is an unfortunate victim of Skippy's homicidal inclinations. The scene where Skippy climbs through Roberta's window and sexually assaults her, only to have her whisper, "I love you," is particularly appalling.
Richard Thomas, whose facial mole is reminiscent of Schmid's exaggerated "beauty mark" (a detail, like Smitty's stuffing his boots with newspaper and crushed beer cans to appear taller, that is omitted from this version of the story), plays Billy, the "born loser" befriended by Skipper who ultimately turns Judas.
The supporting cast is filled with great character actors like Edward Asner (as a local mafioso), Michael Conrad, and James Broderick, and middle-aged '50s sexpots Gloria Grahame and Fay Spain. A few years before playing matriarch Miss Ellie on "Dallas," Barbara Bel Geddes plays Skipper's overindulgent mother, who makes a living off old age pensioners and enables Skipper's sybaritic lifestyle.
The film ends with Skipper's defense lawyer blaming LSD for the murders, with an eye toward a reduced sentence. The real-life Schmid was sentenced to death, but later had his sentence commuted to life. In 1975, four years after the release of "The Todd Killings," he died in prison, after being stabbed 29 times by fellow inmates.
"The Todd Killings" was the first attempt to dramatize Schmid's dark tale, which has reverberated in later films like "River's Edge" and "The Lost." It stills packs a punch, and remains an unsettling, if at times skin-crawling, cinematic experience. It is available on DVD-R from Warner Archives.

Just a quick beginner's question here. I have a webapp located at domainxyz.com, and it generates short URLs for long posts automatically - so rather than visit domainxyz.com/reallylongpostnamehere I can just type domainxyz.com/a5c and be taken there automatically.
However, I've bought a shorter domain name - short.com - and I want to be able to visit short.com/a5c and be redirected (or forwarded) to domainxyz.com/a5c. Or short.com/7f0 --> domainxyz.com/7f0. This way, although it seems a tad illogical it saves me setting up another hosting account on short.com to deal with the URL shortening.
Is this possible? I realise you can forward domains, but, can you forward domains AND forward the URL segments?

A reflection for Yom Yerushalayim
As we reflect on Jerusalem/Al Kuds on Yom Yerushalayim, my mouth stutters and my eyes well up with tears when I try to describe the violence I have seen in the streets of Jerusalem. I have wandered the streets of Jerusalem since 1966, when this unique city first opened its gates and welcomed me within. The celebration of a city united has become mourning for a city divided.
Currently, the flesh and blood Al kutz/Yerushalayim is a city whose identity is being forcibly altered into a mostly Jewish-only space, with just the amount of Palestinians Jewish people can tolerate which, according to the demographic plan aligned with the concept of a Jewish State, is no more than 20%. Never mind the Palestinian-Jewish populations are equivalent in numbers if you count Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel together.
In today's Jerusalem, Palestinian family homes are being forcibly taken over by settlers armed by the government or mowed down by Caterpillar militarized bulldozers, while their Jewish brothers and sisters are strolling down Emek Refaim to choose coffee or sushi at one of the fabulous cafes. While Jews drive on Jewish-only roads to the beach or Dead Sea, Palestinians are condemned to endless series of checkpoints that severely limit their movement. And "the situation" worsens for Palestinians by the day.
Palestinian ghettos, dozens and dozens and dozens of ghettos, are under lock down by the Israeli military administration, often backed up by the Palestinian police. Abu Mazen is doing his job.
Palestinians have been warehoused into dozens and dozens of open air prisons guarded by all the new weapons and security systems money can buy. That is, our money can buy. You and I must have put some money into many of the new "archeological" gardens, pathways, museums that cover over Israel's ongoing appropriation and destruction of Palestinian land.
I mourn this great, sacred city, a fabled city where people from the three Abrahamic faiths have congregated for centuries. If only the borders were open. Most of my Palestinian friends in Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Beit Jala have been denied permission to travel to their holy sites for the last 15 years, much less go shopping or enjoy the sites, or, g-d forbid, visit a family member living on the other side of the Separation Wall.
You and I are watching yet another Middle Eastern city — like Beirut and Baghdad, now Damascus and Jerusalem — divide along ethnic, religious, and national lines as armed gunman enforce the lines of separation, and military bureaucrats operate sophisticated mass surveillance systems to monitor everyone's movement, and military police use new lethal methods of crowd control (like militarized drones and an array of new missile systems) to demonstrate their system prowess to like-minded people interested in profiting from human chaos and suffering. Yes, weapon systems are tried out on Palestinians.
And yet. And yet, inside the Muslim section of the Old City, you will find people mixing: Israeli Jews on a Saturday, escaping Shabbat in West Jerusalem, go to the Old City for an afternoon meal and a stroll through this most splendorous of cities. Here, amidst the stone passageways, homes, and market stalls, Palestinians, under siege by their Jewish neighbors, nonetheless demonstrate their exquisite hospitality, even as the hovering abyss of transfer, displacement, or murder threatens to swallow up the last crumbs of their future.
Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb is a Freeman Fellow with the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). She is cofounder of the Muslim-Jewish Peacewalk and FOR's "Arts of Resistance" delegations to Palestine, and a member of the rabbinical council of Jewish Voice for Peace. She lives in Berkeley, California.

NASHVILLE, TENN. -- The Saints escaped with a 22-17 victory Sunday over Tennessee after a lackluster game turned riveting and required New Orleans to withstand a furious Titans' rally by making a goal-line stand in the closing seconds. While the game should probably not have come down to the wire -- New Orleans (10-3) saw one touchdown on a punt return erased by a penalty and what would have been another touchdown ruled out on a questionable call -- the Saints clearly were pleased with the outcome.
That pleasure only deepened later in the day when Denver's comeback victory over Chicago put the Saints in the postseason. Atlanta's come-from-behind win over Carolina wiped out New Orleans' chance to clinch the NFC South crown Sunday.
Playing on the road against the Titans (7-6), a team with playoff aspirations, the Saints overcame a flood of penalties and perpetually bad field position to win outdoors in December and quiet some critics who said the team's best performances seemed confined to its home, indoor field. The defense surrendered some huge plays that put the outcome in jeopardy but redeemed itself in the clutch during the frantic fourth quarter.
"Obviously that was a big win for us," Coach Sean Payton said of the Saints' fifth consecutive victory. "I thought both teams played hard. (We) played through some adversity, and it was a gut-check win for us. We just kept fighting and won a good game on the road against a good team."
The stat sheet if not the LP Field scoreboard reflected the Saints' quality effort. Quarterback Drew Brees continued his quest to rewrite the NFL passing record book, throwing for 337 yards and two touchdowns. For the fourth consecutive game, Brees did not throw an interception, and the Saints did not commit any turnovers. The offense converted 58 percent of its their-down chances and ground out 114 yards rushing.
Defensively, the Saints held the Titans' Chris Johnson, one of the league's best and hottest backs, to 23 yards on 11 carries. On one of the game's biggest plays, a second-and-10 from the New Orleans 33-yard line with 3:10 remaining, Johnson was stoned in the open field by Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins. The tackle kept Johnson 1 yard shy of a first down, and, two plays later, the Saints' defense stuffed backup quarterback Jake Locker on fourth down. Overall, the Titans converted just one of 10 third downs.
Sluggish start
Nothing in the game's opening quarters, though, gave any indication it would end in thrilling fashion. The first half was a mishmash of penalties and grinding drives that didn't seem to advance the ball. The Saints' first four drives had an average starting point of their 17-yard line, and the offense bogged down in the red zone. A 77-yard drive to open the game fizzled on the Tennessee 8 and resulted in a 25-yard field goal from John Kasay, and then a nine-play, 58-yard drive suffered the same fate and led to a 22-yard Kasay field goal.
In between those scores, the Titans, playing with Locker most of the afternoon after starter Matt Hasselbeck left the game with a calf injury early in the second quarter, scraped out a 43-yard field goal that had the score 6-3 at halftime.
The Saints were hit with eight penalties in that first half, many of which put the offense in unfavorable down-and-distance situations.
"We came in at halftime just knowing that we'd had eight penalties in the first half, and it just felt like on a few of those drives we got ourselves into first-and-20 situations, or second-and-15, just long-yardage situations that are tough to convert especially on the road against this defense," Brees said. "I think we regrouped when we came in here at halftime. We felt like we had the ability to run the ball, and throw the ball effectively, be balanced and put together drives, but we needed to prevent the penalties from thwarting those and stopping us."
Setting up the finish
Payton had stressed the need for patience on offense all last week, noting before and after the game the Titans have given up the fewest big plays of any team in the NFL, and that lesson paid off in the second half. To begin, the Saints launched an 86-yard drive that took eight minutes and then ended in controversy. On third-and-goal from the 4-yard line, Brees hit tight end Jimmy Graham with what appeared to be a touchdown, but the side judge ruled Graham out of bounds. Payton challenged the call, but it stood. Thus, Kasay's third field goal, this time from 22 yards, gave the Saints a 9-3 lead.
Locker then flashed a quick-strike capability that would haunt the Saints in the fourth quarter, taking the Titans 78 yards in six plays and scoring himself on a 6-yard run that gave Tennessee its first lead at 10-9. Most of the damage on that drive came when cornerback Patrick Robinson whiffed on an open-field tackle attempt on wide receiver Damian Williams, who went 54 yards and got 6 more when Saints safety Roman Harper, accused by the Titans afterward of being a dirty player, ripped Williams down by the facemask.
Then, in the fourth quarter, Brees took over. First, he engineered a drive that covered 72 yards in nine plays, culminating in a 35-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marques Colston. That pair combined again the next time the Saints got the ball when Brees rifled a gorgeous pass to Colston that split two defenders and resulted in a 28-yard touchdown. Pierre Thomas got stuffed on the two-point conversion attempt, however, which left the score 22-10 in the Saints' favor with 7:01 left.
"I can tell you this -- I have a ton of trust and confidence in Marques -- as I do really with any of our guys," Brees said. "You talk about a big-time performer. I mean, fourth quarter, we need some big plays, and we got two of them from Marques."
Defensive stand
Despite the considerable time left, it seemed as if New Orleans had taken the game over. That feeling proved illusory.
Locker got the ball back and hit wide receiver Nate Washington on a 40-yard scoring rainbow, capping a 65-yard drive the required just 1:03 and narrowed the deficit to 22-17.
On the Saints' subsequent possession, Brees was sacked hard on third down, and New Orleans had to punt as what was left of the LP Field crowd surged out of its seats, roaring and sensing an upset.
After the punt, Locker moved the Titans from their 35-yard line to the New Orleans 33 where, on first down, he got smashed by a blitzing Tracy Porter. The ball came out of his hand and was ruled on the field a fumble recovered by the Saints, but that call was reversed on a Titans' challenge. That set up Jenkins' great tackle of Johnson and the fourth-down stop.
Once again, however, the Saints' offense was stymied. Payton blamed himself for calling a pass on third down that was nearly intercepted and stopped the clock. Again, New Orleans punted and, again, Locker made plays. With no timeouts, he found wide receiver Lavelle Hawkins for 25 yards and then gained 10 more on a pass to Washington. After an odd attempt at a draw play with Johnson, Locker found Washington down the middle of the field and hit him for a 40-yard gain.
It appeared Washington might score, but linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar wrestled him down at the 5-yard line and, with seven seconds left, Locker spiked the ball to stop the clock.
On second down, Locker tried to hit wide receiver Marc Mariani on a quick slant, but Porter reached around and knocked the ball down on a play that took two seconds. On third down, Locker was flushed to his right and began to scramble, clearly thinking about running while also surveying the end zone.
"That concerns you a little bit, because he is someone that can create in space," Payton said when asked what was going through his mind.
But Dunbar swarmed toward Locker and the rookie, appearing a bit confused, wound up getting sacked.
"There was tight coverage on the back end, so when he took off as if he was running, I just took off with him," Dunbar said. "I was supposed to be in coverage, but, hey, I made a play."

The highly anticipated expansion to Diablo 3 is finally live. Players scrambled to enter act 5 and finally get to experience the new content that they could only experience previously through streams and youtube videos. The question on everyone's mind was whether they would be able to log in or be locked out by errors like Diablo 3's original launch fiasco. To everyone's delight the launch was flawless, players who were logged into the game prior to release weren't even forced to log out, they simply received a message explaining the expansion was live.
What's New?
Reaper of Souls still aims to scratch the same itches every Diablo game satisfies; the thrill of loot and the ability to continually progress onto new and harder content. The biggest difference is that Blizzard is trying to make you earn your gear through playing the game exclusively, which throws some of the concepts players are familiar with out the window.
Trading has always been synonymous with Diablo since the original and it only intensified with Diablo 2. Diablo 3 became know by many people as a 'buy to win' game as players could simply use real money to buy in game items and become much more powerful than the average player aiming to better themselves through playing the game. Blizzard's removal of the auction house and binding legendary loot to your character eliminates any chances of buying your way to victory. The problem Blizzard faces with this change is that many players considered trading the biggest reason they had to keep playing, whether it was to amass gold, make real money, or trade their way to a perfect character.
Loot 2.0
Blizzard's answer to the void created by trading's absence was to fill the game with new content and give players satisfying loot they can enchant to eventually achieve the perfect character without the need for trading. Loot 2.0 is designed to make viable gear drop for you. This doesn't mean that every drop is going to be an upgrade but that Wizard's shouldn't be getting gear with Strength and Dexterity on them and the legendary items that drop for them should be able to be equipped by their class. It isn't perfect but it does greatly increase your chance of getting a useful drop.
Outside of better drops the perfect item is more feasible than ever with the introduction of enchanting through the Mystic. The Mystic allows you to remove one of the stats from an item and replace it with a different one. This makes that perfect weapon you found that just didn't have a socket still perfect if you can get the Mystic to roll a socket into it. To gain a primary stat like a socket, you must give up a primary stat so don't think you can give up pick up radius for a socket. You also have to pay for each re-roll with materials and gold, so making that nearly perfect item perfect might not be easy.
The Mystic also allows you to perform transmogrification on your gear, which allows the pieces you are wearing to have the appearance of other legendary items you have found. This makes those worthless but awesome looking items that drop, finally useful instead of heartbreaking.
Act Five
The expansion packs an entire new act to explore and conquer. Act five takes place in a new land that helps shed light on the lore of the original game. It ties up loose ends left after Diablo 3's conclusion while pushing the player forward in the pursuit of power. The new zones are fun to explore, and have great replay-ability through their dynamic design which makes them feel significantly different with every trip through them. The zones also look great and make you excited to see where the game is going to take you next. In terms of difficulty, the act starts out gentle but can quickly make you second guess your difficulty choice.
Adventure Mode
After you have completed the entirety of the campaign, you unlock Adventure Mode which allows you to revisit parts of the game with different objectives and goals. It is a great way for Blizzard to recycle content while keeping it feeling fresh and appealing, as you may be in the same zone you played before but have a new reason to be there. One of these bounties asked the player to explore a tunnel and survive a gauntlet of flame turrets while killing monsters and an eventual boss. It was a refreshing change of pace that makes you want to see what the next bounty has to offer. For doing these bounties you are awarded with blood shards and rift shards. Blood shards are handed in for randomized loot while rift shards are handed in to open Nephalem Rifts. Nephalem Rifts are randomized dungeons that require you to fill a bar by killing monsters which will then unlock a boss that you can kill.
The Crusader
The Crusader is Blizzard's new hero and it fills a role that was missed in the game. The Crusader is a melee oriented caster who can be played at nearly any ranged and help other players excel at their roles. Fans of Diablo 2's Paladin will feel right at home with this character as they have similar capabilities without being as overpowered as the Paladin felt in Diablo 2. The Crusader also brings use to shields which were primarily unused as every other class had a superior item in their offhand. Despite wearing a shield and being able to absorb a good amount of damage, Crusaders will likely be more optimal running with at least one other durable character as they do not seem to have as much sustain as other classes offer and due to the synergy they bring to another person who can absorb hits.
Is it Fun?
The initial play-through of act 5 is a blast and diving into Adventure mode after is exhilarating and brings you back to old content from the original game, you thought you would never find fun again, and manages to make you enjoy it. Playing with transmogrification choices and the new crafting helps make your character feel personalized. All in all the expansion packs a lot of fun in where it matters and tries to keep you on your toes with surprising difficulty that doesn't feel as unfair as the original release of Inferno in Diablo 3.
Blizzard had lofty goals for this expansion and succeeded in most of the things they set out to do. Gear is satisfying to earn and there is something to be said about hand crafting your character with gear you found completely on your own. The new act is their best act yet and promises a large amount of replay-ability. The lack of PVP content is still disappointing as the original game had promised it and Blizzard's silence on the subject doesn't help the matter. Without PVP or trading, the end game appeal is questionable. For the foreseeable future creating a character that can kill the uber bosses of the game and down the hardest content will be enough to keep most people's interest and that is fair for a game that doesn't demand a monthly fee or have content gated with micro-transactions.
There has never been a better time to play Diablo 3 and despite a few shortcomings, it's still an incredibly fun game to play. The only question is how long it can hold your attention.
- Great new content
- Manages to make old content fun
- Much Improved replay-ability
- Vastly superior loot system
- New ways to personalize your character
- Lack of new PVP content
- Questionable sustained end game content
- Only one new ability for classic characters

Today in music history:
There were several significant events on this day between the years 1948 and 2013.
On this day in 1948 future pop and jazz singer Patti Austin is born in Harlem, New York.
On this day in 1959 Fats Domino's "I Want To Walk You Home" enters the charts
On this day in 1964 future singer-songwriter/rapper Nehneh Cherry is born in Stockholm, Sweden. Also on this day The Beatles release the singles: "Do You Want To Know A Secret" backed with "Thank You Girl", "Please Please Me" backed with "From Me To You", "Love Me Do" backed with "P.S. I Love You" and "Twist And Shout" backed with "There's A Place." Finally, on this day on his way to visit two injured fans in Liverpool, England, Mick Jagger is pulled over and fined 32 pounds for speeding and driving without insurance.
On this day in 1972 Paul and Linda McCartney are arrested backstage in Gothenburg, Sweden, for possession of six ounces of marijuana, which was mailed to them by someone in McCartney's office who thought they would enjoy some pot on the road. The couple is released after paying a combined fine of $1,200.
On this day in 2007 Laura Marling shares the stage with other indie artists like Crystal Castles and Mystery Jets at the first ever Underage Festival in Victoria Park, London. The festival, which grew out of a series of club nights in the Elephant and Castle district of South London, is only open to 13-17 year olds—no one outside that age limit is allowed inside the gates. At just 17 years young, Marling fits right in.

Backgrounds: Sound Design Under the Radar
Guest article by Douglas Murray
Remember, all rules are meant to be broken! With that principle in mind, let's scratch the surface of the grammar and possibilities of an aspect of film sound design: backgrounds (also called BGs, atmospheres or ambiences).
Backgrounds offer a powerful opportunity to use sound for maximum impact. Movies essentially need to have background sound at all times. By adding background sounds to a scene we define what the scene is, where we are, and what's happening around us, even off screen. We can also suggest to the audience how to feel emotionally about a particular scene by giving subtle or direct sonic cues incorporated into the background sounds.Read More

The ASUS A3500L is a stylish machine. Having a screen diagonal of 15", the notebook doesn't look big or cumbersome. On the contrary, the slightly slanted corners and the difference in the heights of the rear and front panels create an impression of smallness and thinness. The case color is dark silver, and this color scheme goes on to the top panel – only the screen bezel is black.
So, a budget model with good performance and excellent battery, with no less than 4 USB ports, which is a blessing when on the road with a laptop. With more of these prettier budget notebooks arriving, its becoming more common for this cheaper end of the market to be populated with sleek notebooks like this, as opposed to the ugly-looking and sluggish cheap notebooks of the past. If you are thinking of a notebook purchase soon, it's well worth looking at!

When the topic of Deflategate was broached on HBO's Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons, which debuted this week, Ben Affleck became all kinds of fired up.
"What they did was suspend Tom Brady for four days for not giving them his [expletive] cellphone," Affleck said. "I would never give an organization as leak-prone as the NFL my [expletive] cellphone . . . so you can just look through my emails and listen to my voicemails?"
Affleck grew up in Cambridge, Mass. and is a passionate Patriots fan. He made no attempts to hide his fandom, and his appreciation for Brady, as he and Simmons (also a Patriots fan) discussed the football-deflation controversy that has now lasted well over a year.
Affleck, who said he would want to cast himself as Brady if ever a Deflategate movie was made, harped on the fact that the league wanted Brady to turn over his phone.
"Maybe Tom Brady is so [expletive] classy and such a [expletive] gentleman," Affleck said, "that he doesn't want people to know that he may have reflected on his real opinion on some of his co-workers."
Brady is waiting for the Second Circuit to make a decision as to whether or not it will rehear his case against the NFL. Earlier this offseason, the Second Circuit reinstated Brady's four-game suspension issued by the league when a three-judge panel ruled in favor of the NFL, 2-1.
Pro Football Talk wrote on Thursday that a decision from the Second Circuit could come at any time. If the rehearding request is denied, Brady could then take the case to the Supreme Court. Should the Second Circuit grant Brady a rehearing, his suspension would be delaed until the court reached a decision. In that case, Brady could potentially play the entire 2016 season before a decision came to pass.
Tom Brady wasn't always the most famous person in his family. Growing up, his sisters were the accomplished athletes in the household.
For his latest Throwback Thursday style Facebook post, Brady published a pair of photos of an old high school essay that he wrote in the fall of his senior year in 1994. It was titled "The way my sisters influenced me."
I found an essay I wrote in 1994... I love my big sisters! #tbt. Thanks for the good grade Mr Stark!Posted by Tom Brady on Thursday, June 23, 2016
In it, he discusses some of the difficulties of growing up with three older sisters and no brothers. Because Maureen, Julie and Nancy Brady had achieved so much in softball, basketball and soccer, Brady -- or "Tommy," as he signed his paper -- had trouble getting noticed.
Of course, it wouldn't be long before Brady was headed from San Mateo, California to Ann Arbor, Michigan in order to play football for the Wolverines. He probably had no trouble garnering attention by then. Still, it's funny to read about how he felt overlooked in his youth.
He closed the essay explaining that he knew his sisters would always provide him support throughout his life, adding, "hopefully, just maybe, one day people will walk up to them and say, 'Aren't you Tommy's sister?' or 'Hey where is your brother?' Maybe . . . "
If the Brady sisters didn't get those kinds of comments by the time the baby of the family was given an 'A' for his English assignment, it probably didn't take long before they did. About seven years later, he took over as the starting quarterback of the Patriots.

ASK IRA: Should Haslem be the starter?
Q: I have no intention of starting a Holy War, but don't you think that Beasley has lost his starting spot to Haslem? — Paul.
A: No, but not for the reasons you might think. Udonis has worked so well with the second unit that Erik has no desire to mess with that chemistry. While he might be no Jamal Crawford, Udonis has been one of the league's better sixth men this season. Sunday's performance was just the latest example.
Q: Hey Ira, with U.D.'s performance of late, do you think U.D. solidified his spot on the roster for next year? We need a guy like that, that would step up and play the defense like he does. And also I think he would definitely take a pay cut. — Vittz.
A: I would not be so sure of that pay cut, since Udonis might be able to find a mid-level somewhere, especially from a contender. For now, though, Haslem remains an afterthought in the big picture. It will be interesting to see how much patience Haslem has with his hometown team this summer.
Q: Hey Ira, of the 11 current free agents we have, which two or three do you think the Heat needs to try and keep the most? — Duane.
A: From a common-sense and salary standpoint, Udonis and Dorell might be most salvageable. Jermaine is going to chase the money and Quentin likely will be done in by a desire to upgrade at small forward.
Q: What do you think about the comments on TNT the other night, when they were talking about Q and how he use to be a great post player, but the Suns and the Heat really just use him has a 3-point threat? — Erik.
A: It's pretty much on point. Jermaine gets first shot in the post, then Beasley. There simply aren't many opportunities. But, to Erik's credit, when he senses a mismatch, he does try to get Quentin on the block.
Q: Bosh is younger, but given Amare's play of late, would you still take Bosh over Amare in the summer? And which one of these guys do you feel would complement Beasley best? — Kevin.
A: This has nothing to do with complementing Beasley. In fact, the question will be if Beasley can be a complement to the team's free-agent addition. Stoudemire clearly is playing better than Bosh now, but I think Bosh might work better as a complement to Wade.

Are Stay-At-Home Mom's At Risk For Being Denied Credit?
The Federal Reserve has recently proposed new rules in credit card lending to only consider one's personal income and not the household's income. Essentially, this sounds smart. They are trying to prohibit those without a steady income from taking on credit, especially those unable to repay their debt. However, Margaret Ryznar points out an outstanding point in her most recent ... Read More »

What a sweet poem!
We used to make these out of paper when I taught kindergarten. We hung them up in the classroom, and while kids were sleeping, I put a few treats inside. I would never say anything, and it was fun to see how long it took the kids to notice that their stockings had been filled. I guess foam would be more durable.

7 Sins Forgiven (7 Khoon Maaf) Movie Reviews
7 Sins Forgiven (7 Khoon Maaf)
Release Date: Jan 21, 2011
Genre: DramaSuspense/Thriller
Rating: (NR)
User reviews on 7 Sins Forgiven (7 Khoon Maaf)
I did not like this film and i do not recommend seeing it. It was very boring and completely predictable. The film did not come up with anything special or intriguing in any way. The story is not that bad but Vishal does not make it rise above the level of mediocracy. I can say that it is not his best work. The music in the movie was nothing special either and that was the most disappointing part for me. However, Priyanka Chopra did an amazing job as a murderess and I truly enjoyed her performance. The film was full of blood but it failed to create intensity or thrills. Overall, i think the film failed in a lot of areas and mainly it failed to keep me interested and to keep me awake.

CBS is doubling down on us nerds. With the success of "The Big Bang Theory," the network has agreed to a pilot production commitment of "Nerds In Love."
The talent behind the single-camera comedy project makes it look very promising. Jason Winer, who has directed episodes of "Modern Family" and "New Girl," will helm the project while also serving as producer. The show is the brainchild of "How I Met Your Mother" writers Tami Sagher and Kourtney Kang, and is said to be loosely based on the pair's unlikely friendship forged while working on the show, examining the love lives of fast friends at a marketing firm.
Winer had previously worked with Sagher on the upcoming midseason comedy "1600 Penn" series, and the pair reached out to Kang after stories of the writers' relationship struck a unique chord rife with material. "Tami is a true blue nerd who payed herself for math camp, while Kourtney is a former cheerleader. Yet, the two have formed an unlikely bond, helping each other through the misguided steps of their love lives," Winer said.
"It lies somewhere between '2 Broke Girls' and 'The Big Bang Theory,'" Winer explained, hopefully referring to the overall plot of the show rather than the level of comedy we can expect. Given that it's from two "How I Met Your Mother" writers and the director of "Modern Family"'s first season, I would expect it to be a funny version of the two shows Winer mentioned.
