Back three virtuoso Isa Nacewa could be available from his hand injury and lock Tom Denton is also showing promising signs of returning to the fray for Friday.
There is also positive news about second row Quinn Roux, who has impressed the coaching staff on the training paddock without being able to put in the game time to deliver on his undoubted potential.
The South African has not been able to play since receiving a chest injury against Connacht in September that has been difficult to shake.
Sadly, wing Luke Fitzgerald, centre Eoin O'Malley, who would come into contention for what would be his 50th cap, and flanker Dominic Ryan are less likely to be involved.
It is probable that they will have to look at the following week against Zebre as their most likely return-to-play targets.
Meanwhile, the ticket sales for Leinster's crucial Heineken Cup pool match against Clermont-Auvergne at The Aviva Stadium on December 15th have passed the 33,000 mark.

Publisher's Description
More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually teaches about parenting, and put it into practice.
Parents today seek answers from child experts, self-help books, or equally confused friends. But even the experts portray modern-day childbearing as a minefield strewn with psychological dangers and emotional hazards.
What the Bible Says About Parenting is not a book on child psychology, nor is it proposing a new parenting method. It is simply presenting the principles of biblical parenting with as much clarity as possible. John MacArthur, a leading expert on the Bible and an experienced pastor, teacher, father, and grandfather goes into depth on such vital biblical parenting subjects as these:
- Four helpful principles of communication
- Effective methods to discipline wisely and effectively, with positive results
- Simple principles for identifying, changing, and developing habits in your children
"I'm convinced that if Christian parents understand and apply the simple principles Scripture sets forth, they can rise above the trends of secular society and bring up their children in a way that honors Christ, in any culture and under any circumstances." ?John MacArthur
Author Bio
John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, president of the Masters College and Seminary, and featured teacher with the Grace to You media ministry. In more than four decades of ministry, John has written dozens of bestselling books, including The MacArthur Study Bible, The Gospel According to Jesus, and Slave. He lives in Los Angeles.

Skip to comments.Todd Akins Senate Campaign Maybe Picking Up Steam
Posted on 09/03/2012 6:44:42 PM PDT by Jonah Vark
ST. LOUIS, MO. (KTVI) Rep. Todd Akins insurgent campaign against both Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill and the leaders of his own party may not be the long shot its been portrayed, despite the national furor over Akins comments on The Jaco Report that women who are victims of legitimate rape have natural defenses against becoming pregnant.
A pair of polls taken after the incident and the following uproar either show Akin with a lead over McCaskill, or indicate the race is tied. The latest survey from Public Policy Polling, taken August 29, shows McCaskill leading Akin 45% to 44%, well within the polls margin of error. Another poll released the same day by the staunchly anti-abortion Family Research Council shows Akin ahead 45% to 42%.
In addition, Akin has picked up there de-facto endorsement of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who told NBCs Meet the Press that Akin was nominated by a plurality of voters in the Missouri GOP primary, and that since Akin has apologized, its time
.to move on.
(Excerpt) Read more at fox2now.com ...
No thanks to Karl Rove and the GOPe. GO TODD!
Meanwhile McCaskill is avoiding the democrat convention.
Gosh, I hope he wins. Sick of spineless Republicans masquerading as conservatives.
Let's hope Akin can avoid inserting his foot again till November. He can come back and win this.
(In before the "I hope Akin wins but...)
If you hope Akin wins you'll drop it and give him the chance to win, imho.
Ann Coulter, whom I used to admire, called him a "selfish swine" whom she "officially hates." By winning, Akin will show the world that Annie pulled a humbug.
I would like to contribute to Akin but won't do so until after Sept. 25, for I think he may still withdraw. Few can withstand the pressure he faces.
Include Mitt and Rove and Levin in on that.
"national (furor over Akin's comments)" sub: news media aided by their GOP-e toads (furor over Akin's comments)
I guess there's no time to dawdle in this place when the backhanded compliments are flying fast and furious, lol.
Good! It's time to put this bit of silliness behind us, and get on with the business of cleaning out Democrats.
give me a choice between a doorknob and McCaskill... I'll go with the doorknob every time...
I am sending money tomorrow. He has narrowed the gap back to close what it was before. If he hasn't withdrawn by now I doubt that he will in the future.
I am sending money tomorrow. He has narrowed the gap back to close what it was before. If he hasn't withdrawn by now I doubt that he will in the future.
$64 question...do those who publicly abandoned Aiken try to "sneak back in" and help????
If he wins....HE OWES THEM NOTHING!!!! Going rogue!!!
Most everyone overreacted to Akin's incoherent remarks.
Two groups say Akin is ahead, the Dem pollster PPP and FRC and both have an interest in him staying in the race.
Akins wins anyway: Libertarian pro abort Freepers very sad.
I like that tune "Annie pulled a humbug"!
Akin was up by 10. Now you're depending on a Democrat polling firm to tell you Akin's ahead? Or a special interest group invested in Akin's candidacy for their own purposes? Why would you believe them?
Amen, I am sick of the elites like Rove, Ann "Bill Maher" Coulter, Noonan, and Bohner, they all sip cocktails with their "good friends" Pelosi, Reid and other Democrat celebrities, yet they conspire against this nation. If Romney wins, he had better not sing kumbaya with Pelosi and Reid, I am sick of the Republicans working with the Democrats only to have a knife placed in their collective backs. When the Republicans are out of power, the Democrats accomplish their goals all while Republican elites cry and say it's for the good and health of the nation that we compromise, BS! The Democrats have stuffed their agenda down our throats without nary a whimper from the RINOs, it's time it stopped!
:') I thought it was pretty amusing.
Next time something like this happens to a conservative candidate, the GOP needs to pull all the stops and go full throttle on supporting and funding him.
Akin was targeted by the machine of political correctness, and among the casualties were many conservatives. Including Limbaugh. (I still have a soft spot for Rush, even though he sold out to the elites.)
And many other conservatives, posters on this site, who don't normally seem to fall for the leftist assault on language were burned by this thing. Just goes to show that we need to be extremely vigilant for leftist trickery.
Gonna be a lot of folks with mud in their eye if Mr. Akin has the audacity to pull this one off.
Including many reading this right now...
This is good news....I think its time for the Pro-Abort Liberals, GOPe, GOP Media, Karl Rove, and George Soros....to get lost.
Akin was smart not to listen to all the PhonyCons telling him to drop out. Real Conservatives felt he should stay, and knew that he would still beat McCaskill
Akin was never up by 10.
He was up by 3 per the last Rasmussen poll before the kerfluffle.
Ann Coulter, whom I used to admire, called him a "selfish swine" whom she "officially hates." By winning, Akin will show the world that Annie pulled a humbug.
Ann Coulter attacks only conservatives now
She went after "Birthers" instead of Obama on the Eligibility issue. She supports Log Cabin/Homosexual GOP (she is like the "Liza Minelli" of the GayGOP crowd).
I cannot believe there are still people who think Ann Coulter is "conservative" when in fact she is just another Northeast Liberal
I've been pointing out how Coulter is just another Ivy League hack who has been living large on peddling her schtick to conservatives.
Actions speak louder than her words, and her actions say she's not conservative.
I never thought he was really up by ten. Mo senate campaigns have been very close for several cycles. Most things like this blow away given enough time before the election. Two months is plenty of time.
. I am surprised at how a lot of establishment Republicans seem to have something against Todd Akin and are doing their best to make this into an unprecedented attack against an elected nominee. I think they know he can't be bought or controlled and maybe they are also making an example of him as a warning to any other candidate who is unafraid to discuss social issues. If you let just one of those into the senate who knows? Maybe the rest might start acting like they have a backbone. They can't have that.
Screw them.
Even more reason to help him even if he didn't have a chance.
...Ha...Many from the Founders on have done so....
Akin is made of sterner stuff than the GOPe...
To put all this in context in terms of the survival of our Republic:
take a look at:
here we have a defining moment of the 2012 campaign. those of us who read his quote (and saw the attacks by the republican machine for what they were) and came to the immediate defense of todd akin are true and trustworthy conservatives in my book. those who didn't, well they won't ever receive my trust again. period (akin.org).
"No thanks to Karl Rove and the GOPe. GO TODD!"
Me too. The fact that Akin may recover from this should give Obama an idea of just how much he's hated right now.
After the GOP establishment, that attacked men as stupid, tried to throw him under the bus.
F*ck them! Sometimes you gotta be vulgar to tell them what you really think of their jihading for the Democrats.
People misspeak. At least Akin didn't blame all women like Mitt Happen's wife last week tried to blame all men!
very nice post.
I made a decision to send him money this weekend.
Akin said what he said and apologized. A politician here in Pennsylvania made similar comments in the 1980's and backed away from them and continued his career.
Ask Greg Kelly in New York (Local Fox TV host there and former Irag war reporter for Fox News Channel) about "legitimate rape."
A woman falsely accused him of rape earlier this year and then there's the famous Dominique Strauss-Kahn case in the Big Apple.
Women can and do lie about rape..........
You were a knee jerk scared little reactionary over Akin's comments, just admit it!! You were wrong calling for his head.
Now when he's showing he's back in the race and even winning you wanna mark it up to a conspiracy by a lib pollster.
What's it like to live in a reality where saying "I was wrong and I made a mistake" never happens? In general the tone of most of your posts on any subject are rude and mean anyway. So whatever to you!
Is she turning into another Arianna Huffington?
Same here with this Akin guy. His big mistake was in letting Democrats campaign for him without complaint, and then giving an early post primary interview to a well known Extreme Leftwingtard fruitcake ~ obviously he wasn't in concert with what Conservative Republicans ought to be doing in a primary.
But neither was Mitt. Both needed to step down on that issue alone.
I would have been quite happy for both of them to drop out, or maybe just MItt drop out.
were todd akin were a conservative democrat; said the same plausible thing he said (essentially that a woman's state of mind effects the probablity of a successful conception) and was attacked by the same republican establishment media and actors, my defense of him would be exactly the same.
the pandering games that liberal republicans (like romney) or democrats play mean nothing to me as an ex democrat, now independent conservative. my faith in God exclusively defines me, and a man who will stand-up for the right of all innocents to life (including the unborn) is a man i will trust, because that issue is at fulcrum of our failing culture; it will expose and draw the hate of all the enemies of God and of our God given liberty. that alone, to know my enemies, is worth supporting this man for me. not withstanding all of that, i still believe that conservatism can win against all odds. it really depends on what good men will do and finally on what God wills.
for example, romney couldn't have stepped down if he wanted to (and he, IMO, being groomed like obama from childhood to take political power would never voluntarily stepped down anyway. ends justify the means people like him never volunteer to "step down"); he is in the race because God has decided he will work his own purposes through romney. let us hope and pray that it is mercy this time, and not justice, the Lord has on his plate. frankly, my money is on justice.
Humorless apparatchik ~ or maybe even worse, a Mittbot!
Time to expand the bomb shelter, stash some more ammo, get more guns ~ this is getting too close for comfort.
Maybe I can dig down another 20 feet with a bigger backhoe?
Clue ~ the acolytes of the anti-christ share in their master's glow ~ we got two of them running for President this time.
certainly in my life, God has turned my sinful actions to the good while humbling me in the process. i believe that our infinite Creator can see ways we can't to make lemonaid out of the worst lemons.
may God us all, friend.

Very smells good mixture of spices for apple pie - cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom. Bad in every way! But for those who do not like cinnamon, it is better not to take.
Apple Spice - my favourite scent
Posted by WellnessRoad on Apr 23, 2013
After taking more of an interest in what was contained in my regular beauty items and finding a horrendous amounts of chemicals, I threw everything out and scoured iherb for products which were natural and not harmful to the health of myself and my family. Given the good reviews and the fact that these lip balms are 100% natural, vegan and cruelty free I decided to give them a try. The first thing I noticed is the adorable packaging, the Apple Spice is part of the brew range and features a lovely little teapot. The scent of the balm is also clearly shown and each balm has an individual colour scheme. The Apple Spice is my favourite of the range, followed closely by the Root Beer, Chai, Lemonade and also orange. The balm itself has a wonderful consistency - not too soft or firm and glides onto the lips smoothly. The balm is highly moisturising and does not leave that annoying waxy feel that some lip products leave. I'm interested in trying other scents too. If you love Crazy Rumors then you should also try Hurraw! Both are the best balms I've ever tried.

Crazy Rumors est ma marque de baumes à lèvre préférée pour ses gouts originaux et super addictifs, son efficacité hiver comme été et son prix très abordable. C'est le top du top.

I love Crazy Rumors lip balms, but only certain fragrances. I was nervous to try a new one for fear that it would smell weird. This apple spice fragrance is lovely!

Love this, I use this every day and it keeps my lips hydrated and soft in harsh winter climate.
The best

The midfielder has recovered from a head injury suffered following a collision with Rotherham's Jason Taylor during last weekend's 2-1 victory that saw him stretchered from the field after lengthy on-pitch treatment.
The Brighton loanee has trained as normal this week and is expected to keep his place in midfield, though he will be assessed ahead of kick-off as a precaution.
Chris Whelpdale is a doubt due to a groin strain and will face a fitness test ahead of the game, but Connor Essam is expected to be available after recovering from a thigh injury and should return to the bench.
Tom Flanagan is sidelined until the new year with a fractured metatarsal, by which time his loan deal from MK Dons will have ended.

As I mentioned in my last post, I am introducing a monthly theme, which will be supported by weekly themes, as part of ShaiCoggins.com's 2013 blogging year. I'd like to call this: The Focus Project. More on why in another post some time.
Anyway, to celebrate January, I am setting the overall theme of: Beginnings.
Each week, I also intend to work on sub-themes as such:
Week 1: Adventure (1-7 January)
Week 2: New (8-14 January)
Week 3: Time (15-21 January)
Week 4: Australia (22-28 January)
Week 5: Green (29-31 January)
My hope is to share with you at least one thing that I have worked on for that week based on the theme, as well as to do a round-up of the month's highlights. "Notes from Shai" e-newsletter subscribers will get bonus prompts and ideas.
If you would like to join me, please let me know. I'll be happy to link to your personal projects based on these themes. Also, if you would like to Tweet or to follow via Twitter, I'm using #TheFocusProject as the hashtag.
In any case, I look forward to exploring this brand new project through this month's theme and sub-themes.
"Good seasons start with good beginnings."

The world reacts to Obama's win
All over the globe, people celebrated President Obama's victory in the U.S. elections on Nov. 6, 2012.
All over the globe, people celebrated President Obama's victory in the U.S. elections on Nov. 6, 2012.
Hey, you!: So what? Both candidates are unpopular - and deserve to be - but this is NOT a popularity contest. We are voting for a President, people, not a baby-sitter. Only one candidate has repeatedly disrespected our neighbors, our trading partners, our military and their families. Only one candidate has proposed multiple violations of our Constitution. Only one candidate proposes abandoning our allies, defaulting on our debt, and TRIPLING our deficit. Only one candidate has ZERO political experience, no city council or mayoral experience, no county experience, no state experience, no national experience, no international experience, no foreign policy experience, no diplomatic experience, and no legislative experience. This election is NOT about who you like, it's about who has the experience to run our nation effectively. Whether you like that person is immaterial.

Medicine, said the late Aneurin Bevan, architect of the British National Health Service, is at the heart of politics—a statement just as true for Australia.
There are two major political forces in Australia—Labor and non-Labor—the latter has used various names over the years but at present is constituted in the federal sphere by the Liberal and Country parties. Since the first federal parliament was elected in 1901, there have been fewer Labor than Liberal—Country party governments. In the last 30 years Labor held office from 1941 to 1949, the Liberal—Country Coalition from 1949 to 1972, and now Labor is back

So I had an u/s this morning. It's not looking good. I believe i am at least 8 weeks pregnant and there is no fetal pole and the uterus is measuring 5w3d. It's likely I've lost the baby. I'm devastated and have been crying all morning.
My midwife said my dating might just be off but the last time I had sex was the day I got a positive pregnancy test on October 3rd. that would put me at 6.5 weeks even if that was possible.
I have a follow up u/s on the day after thanksgiving so another 2.5 weeks until I have a definite answer.
I'll keep you all updated but might not post here for awhile.

AFSC's Meeting/Church Liaison program provides substantive ways for Quaker congregations across the U.S. to engage with their local communities and learn from one another's efforts. This year, the program grew to include 110 Quaker congregations.
Several congregations made commitments to work deeply on issues ranging from ending mass incarceration to serving as immigrant allies to fostering more religiously hospitable communities to working for a just and lasting peace in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
Bob Campbell of Merion Meeting in Pennsylvania says about the program, "I knew right away that there would be a network, so to speak, within the AFSC community that could help us focus on this topic [mass incarceration] with some expertise and that what we learned and found out would be credible, it was something that people were actually working on."
One aspiration of the program is to foster networks of congregations working on similar issues within the Quaker community and to amplify efforts by working together. We offer monthly phone calls and resources to support local action, as well as a regularly updated blog called Acting in Faith (sign up at afsc.org/friends).
If your meeting or church would like to participate, please contact Lucy Duncan at email@example.com or (215) 241-7062.

Mercedes CLA concept previews expanded compact line
Small doesn't have to be dull and boxy.
That's the message Mercedes-Benz gave with the unveil of the CLA Concept Style Coupe at the Beijing auto show. The concept will offer design hints for the new Mercedes-Benz A/B compact vehicles coming to U.S. showrooms in late 2013.
The luxury automaker previewed the CLA concept in Los Angeles before its reveal this week at show, which runs through May 2 for the public. The 208-hp, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder-powered Concept Style Coupe has a four-door body style. Mercedes said it will be priced below the automaker's C-Class.
Mercedes parent Daimler AG has invested $1.9 billion to build a new generation of compact premium cars in China, Hungary and Germany. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said last month that the automaker will improve the profitability of its compact cars by expanding the lineup from two models – the A-Class and B-Class – to five cars and building significantly higher volumes.
The CLA represents new territory for Mercedes-Benz, a brand traditionally known for its spacious luxury sedans.
"The Concept Style Coupe is expressive and powerful in its design," Zetsche said in a statement. "We are staking our claim very clearly here. This is the model against which sporty vehicles in the executive segment will have to measure themselves in future."
Daimler won't say when it will begin building the CLA, although press reports say output will start at year end and that it will arrive in showrooms early next year.
The concept features a large gaping grille known to insiders as a soft-nose treatment, headlamps with LED graphics, frameless side windows, panoramic roof, integrated dual-flow exhaust system and interior design cues from the Concept A-Class, with carbon-fiber trim instrument panel, suede trim steering wheel, chrome trim, Command Online multimedia system and the ability to browse the Internet when the vehicle is stationary.
Sources told Autoweek, an affiliate of Automotive News, that the CLA styling is largely faithful to the production version of the new sedan.
"Certain design elements have been subtly altered to lend a more powerful look for added presence on the show stand, but as a whole the exterior and interior reflect the true design of the car we will build at our new manufacturing plant in Kecskemet, Hungary," an unidentified source told Autoweek.
The Concept Style Coupe is expected to undergo mild styling changes before the CLA lands in showrooms, Autoweek reported.
The CLA sedan's luxury-brand rivals will include a sedan version of the third-generation Audi A3, due in 2013, and a new sedan version of the BMW 1 series that is undergoing conceptual development and an expected introduction in 2015, Autoweek reported.
Mercedes said it has so far received more than 100,000 orders for the B-Class since its launch in Europe in November 2011. The B-Class is built in Rastatt, Germany, and Kecskemet.
The new A-Class, which also will be assembled in Rastatt, will go on sale in Europe in September and is scheduled to arrive in the United States in 2014.

The Grand Del Mar: The New Resort of Choice in So Cal
September 20, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
There's a swanky new hotel on the scene in San Diego. Set to open on October 6, 2007, The Grand Del Mar is billed as a world class resort experience, surrounded by the picture-perfect coastal communities of La Jolla, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. This much anticipated resort spa is situated in the pristine Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve-- a 4,100-acre, boulder-studded sanctuary with the area's only natural waterfall-- and has been designed to harmonize with the beautiful surrounding habitat. Inspired by the design style of 1920's architect, Addison Mizner, The Grand Del Mar combines Old World Mediterranean elegance with Venetian and Moroccan elements in a tranquil So Cal setting. Think arched doorways, rotundas, colorful tile, wood-beamed ceilings, and lots of garden fountains. The menu of recreational activities and resort amenities is pretty extraordinary; you'll find San Diego's only Tom Fazio-designed golf course, 37 miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, four sparkling swimming pools (including an adults-only pool), two outdoor tennis courts, spectacular spa, state-of-the-art fitness facility, and dining for all appetites.
Romance in Mexico at Maroma Resort, Riviera Maya
September 19, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
This could be heaven on earth. The best place to stay in the trendy Mayan Riviera (the stretch of perfect beaches sweeping south from Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula) is Maroma Resort. Hands down. Nestled in the secluded jungle of a 200-acre nature preserve next to sugary beaches and lapis blue sea, Maroma dazzles guests with its excellent service and lavish facilities. There's a beautiful spa, three swimming pools, two ocean-facing restaurants and al fresco bar. To the delight of Maroma guests, there are myriad inclusive amenities. Think daily breakfast (and pots of coffee delivered to your room beforehand), welcome cocktails, and snorkeling trips to the colorful coral reefs off-shore. Maroma also receives glowing reports about its cuisine, and the special dinners arranged for couples on the beach. Celebrate a special occasion with an unforgettable dinner on the sand. In selecting your dinner choices, talk with Executive Chef Guilliermo Gomez-- who prepares innovative Mexican cuisine blending flavors of the Yucatan, Maya and Creole cultures-- and choose anything your heart desires. At the appointed time, stroll to the beach and discover a manicured path of sand leading to a magical spot lit by candles.

By: Mary Winston Nicklin
From your own private plunge pool, look out over Lake Tanganyika, sighted by explorers Richard Burton and John Speke in 1858 in their pursuit of the source of the Nile-- surely a sight for sore eyes after their journey. If only the explorers had it this good: the remote resort on Lupita Island offers the finest amenities, beautiful furnishings, and top notch service (private butlers attend to every whim). Built on a hilltop on the 110-acre island, the resort features 14 exquisitely designed villas with spectacular lake and mountain views. After a day spent sailing, kayaking, mountain biking, or hitting the beach, relax with a massage in the fully-equipped spa.

All Island Buy-out at Peter Island Resort, British Virgin Islands
For the first time ever, Peter Island-- the renowned Caribbean resort that frequently tops the lists of "world's best hotels"-- can be rented in its entirety. How's that for exclusivity? The fully-staffed private island resort can be yours for just you and 130 of your closest friends or business colleagues. Think weddings, family reunions, company retreats. The largest private island in the BVI, Peter Island boasts five picture-perfect beaches, a seaside spa, 52 guest rooms, three villas, and Tradewinds restaurant, which was recently awarded the Wine Spectator award of excellence. (Oh, and did we mention the resort's 41' sailing yacht Silmaril?) 200 members of staff (a 3 to 1 ratio of staff to guests) are on hand to assist with all requests. Rates for the full island buy-out (a five-night stay) begin at $259,600 for travel now through November 16, 2007. Included: all breakfasts, lunches and dinners daily, round trip airport transfers, unlimited ferry service to and from Tortola and unlimited use of the resort's non-motorized watersports equipment, mountain bikes, tennis courts, windsurfing, snorkeling and fitness center.
Dazzling Dubai: Waterfront Opulence at Madinat Jumeirah
In a city of hyperbole (and myriad over-the-top attractions), Madinat Jumeirah stands apart as a monumental destination that exudes the city's vibrant and exotic spirit. A self-contained sanctuary of Arabian style, this luxurious oasis is comprised of three grand hotels-- Mina A' Salam, Al Qasr and Dar Al Maysaf-- along with 29 stand-alone traditional summer houses and the region's first Six Senses Spa. This sun-drenched waterfront property sprawls over beautiful gardens and waterways. Translated as the "City of Jumeirah," the Madinat Jumeirah is so named because of the sheer variety of the resort; guests enjoy the Quay Healthclub, five tennis courts, and no less than 42 restaurants and bars. The heart of the resort experience is Souk Madinat Jumeirah, a unique retail and leisure hotspot with 75 shops and restaurants.
Surfs Up in the Maldives at Anantara Resort
Surfing in the Maldives? Who knew?! One of the premier luxury travel destinations in the world, the Maldives is known for its spectacular diving. But now guests of the Anantara Resort, the five-star hideaway spread across five acres of tropical terrain on Dhigufinolhu (island) on the South Male Atoll, can hit the waves as well.

Offshore from the perfect white sandy beaches and tropical lagoons, the aquamarine ocean gives way to perfectly groomed waves, sweeping over curved coral reefs. Both novices and serious thrill-seekers will enjoy the surf breaks of the Maldives. Video analysis is even on hand at the resort to improve each surfer's technique. The Four Day Surfing Course is priced at $695.

American Hockey League - AHL Tickets
The organization known today as the American Hockey League (AHL) was formed by the merger of the Canadian-American Hockey League and the International Hockey League in 1936. It started with eight teams and was called the International-American Hockey League until 1940. The Syracuse Stars defeated the Philadelphia Ramblers in the 1936-37 season playoffs to win the first International-American Hockey League championship. However, the Calder Cup, the championship trophy named for the National Hockey League's (NHL) first president, Frank Calder, was not awarded to a team until the following season, when the Providence Reds won the championship.
Currently, there are 30 teams (26 American and four Canadian) in the AHL, all of which are NHL affiliates. Historically, Calder Cup winners have often gone on to help their NHL parent teams win the Stanley Cup as well. More than 100 players and coaches can boast about winning both. Many other individual and team awards have been created throughout the history of the AHL such as Coach of the Year and various awards for Conference championships. Since 1984, the coveted Jack A. Butterfield Trophy has been awarded to the playoffs' Most Valuable Player (MVP). The Eastern Conference of the AHL consists of the Atlantic, Northeast and East Divisions. The North, Midwest and West Divisions make up the Western Conference. A typical AHL season lasts from October to April, with teams playing 80 games each. The AHL All-Star Classic takes place each January. The AHL Hall of Fame was created in 2006, and its inductees are enshrined during the annual All-Star celebration.
The 2004-05 NHL lockout was advantageous for the AHL in that it expanded AHL team rosters and brought in record numbers of spectators. Since then, the AHL has continued to gain popularity and draw crowds. The New York State Fairgrounds was the site of the AHL's first outdoor game during the 2009-10 season, attracting 21,508 fans, a league record. AHL teams generally play indoors at arenas and coliseums. The fan experience includes access to all types of food, merchandise, and related events. AHL tickets can easily be purchased online or in person. Teams often host special group nights and support charitable causes, demonstrating that they are involved with the community by participating in special events and making public appearances. Teams also reach out to kids with special events and promotions, making the games more family friendly than ever.

"Pain" represents a lot of good things for Pusha T. For one, it's a strong outing for the Virginia native, who most recently had some killer verses on the G.O.O.D. Music. But more importantly, it's the lead single from Pusha's full-length solo debut that's due out in 2013.

Arce on Donaire Fight: It Will Be Bloody, It Will Be Hard!
By Salvador Rodriguez
Former champion Jorge 'Travieso' Arce (61-6-2, 46KOs) is promising to shock the sport on December 15 in Houston, when he challenges WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire in an HBO televised main event at Toyota Center. Arce plans to be in the best possible shape of his career.
"I will get to this fight at 200% in every sense. Nonito will not be able to handle my pace. I will regard this fight as the most important of my career. I've had other challenges, and I passed them when nobody believed in me - and against Nonito you will see the best 'Travieso' that you have ever seen before...more strong and explosive," Arce declared.
"This fight, we've been trying to get it for the past four years and I am sure that the wait will be worth it because it is going to be bloody, it is going to be hard, it is going to be complicated. This will be an exciting fight."
Arce's like, "I'm running this red light!"Comment by twosweethooks on 11-12-2012
I love to watch Arce Fight , great fighter, game fighter and I agree with him that it will be bloody and it will be a much greater fight than to watch Donaire vs Rigo !! ITs gonna be Arces…Comment by SpeedKillz on 11-12-2012

Who's the biggest new female artist of 2007? In at least one sense, and possibly a couple of others, it would have to be country upstart Taylor Swift. Literally, for starters: At 5'11", she's hard for anyone to measure up to — even Amy Winehouse on a full towering-beehive day. And at age 17, she's sold more than a million copies of her self-titled and largely self-penned debut album, which was released when she was 16. (With sales consistently averaging between 30-40K a week, double platinum is a foregone conclusion by the end of the year.) Her two singles have gone like gangbusters, too, with "Tim McGraw" selling more than 625,000 as a digital download and "Teardrops on My Guitar," the follow-up, selling 457,000 so far. Only Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, can match that, but Swift has done it without the benefit of massive TV exposure.
She's currently on tour in amphitheaters, opening for Brad Paisley. "Taylor Swift was one that I called my manager when I heard her album and said, 'We have to get her out on tour,"' says Paisley. "And for her to have written that record at 16, it's crazy how good it is. I figured I'd hear it and think, 'Well, it's good for 16' — but it's just flat-out good for any age."
EW sat down with Swift recently for a piece in our Spotlight pages; here's some more of that chat.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Tim McGraw told me the only thing he was worried about when he heard about your song was that it might be taking a shot at him.
TAYLOR SWIFT: That would probably be the only thing I would worry about too, if [there were] a song called "Taylor Swift," that they weren't making fun of me, like that ''Go Away Paris Hilton'' song. "Go Away Taylor" — as long as it wasn't that, it would be fine.
You'll probably be a multiple nominee at the CMAs this fall.
I have all these countdowns on my phone for the CMAs and all the awards shows. I get so excited about these things because I love to dress up. But I wear cowboy boots so that when I walk down the stairs I won't fall. I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.
I was going to ask if you wear heels often, since that might make you a pretty towering presence.
Exactly. I'm 5'11", so when I wear heels, it's definitely a really good view that I have. I'm like 6'2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot.
Going back a few years, since you're such a veteran in many aspects of this, even at 17: You had your first songwriting deal at 14, and you had an RCA development deal before that at 13?
You did your research! That's exciting. Yeah, I did.
So does that mean everyone was thinking you were going to make a record at 13?
I was hoping for it. A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out. And they can kind of shelve you, in some circumstances. After a year of development, we just decided that we wanted to look around, so we walked. And it's not a really popular thing to do in Nashville, to walk away from a major record deal. But that's what I did, because I wanted to find some place that would really put a lot of time and care into this. And it ended up being a record label that wasn't even in existence yet: Big Machine Records happened, and then got major-label distribution with Universal, and things have gone pretty well since then.
Walking away from that first label, was that because of the material you thought you would be asked to record? You were so new to songwriting, I'm assuming that, at age 13, you weren't necessarily thinking you had to do all your own songs.
Actually, I've been writing since I was 12, so I had so many songs I wanted people to hear. It was a combination of things, why I left, [but mostly] just because I did not want to be on a record label that wanted me to cut other people's stuff. That wasn't where I wanted to be.
And you knew that at 13 or 14?
I did, and it was something that I wanted to be addressed. I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart. And I knew that had to be my writing. Also, it was a big, big record label with big superstars, and I felt like I needed my own direction and the kind of attention that a little label will give you. I just did not want it to happen with the method of "Let's throw this up against the wall and see if it sticks, and if it doesn't, we'll just walk away." I wanted a record label that needed me, that absolutely was counting on me to succeed. I love that pressure.

Choctaw election officials began the official recount Wednesday night and wrapped things up Thursday morning. The final results show that seven time incumbent Chief Phillip Martin has been defeated by his challenger Beasley Denson by 211 votes with Denson receiving 1,697 votes to Martin's 1,486.
Election officials say they plan to certify the votes Friday. As for current Chief Phillip Martin, we were able to catch up with him Thursday morning as he was leaving the tribal hall where the recount took place. Here's what he had to say about the outcome.
"I'm disappointed that I didn't win but that's O.K. That's life! The election process has worked," said Martin. " The people have decided who they want as their leader and that's enough. "
Incoming Chief Denson was not at the Tribal Hall Thursday morning when we arrived for the recount. However, we are told that he spent much of the day preparing for his new position and just relaxing. A swearing in ceremony is set for next Tuesday.

My latest Christmas mini-movie, "The First Coming", is a beautiful celebration of the humble, unexpected nature of the incarnation. It's a video with a variety of uses from a service starter to a part of the worship set, a sermon intro or a service closer. It could also be integrated as a lead-in to a candle lighting (the last image of the video is a perfect segway).
I've also produced a service pack for the video so you can create a consistant visual theme for your Christmas service.

2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I wanted more than ANYTHING for this car to be the last one I purchased for a while. Fuel economy was great (Avg. 30 MPG City) and it's so much fun to drive. Sadly, at around 11K Mi. one of the transmission valves blew. Mazda replaced all the trans. valves without issue. Fuel efficiency dropped to 28 MPG. Then at 19,500 Mi. the transmission gave out entirely. Mazda Roadside was quick to response and the dealer has been excellent. Still, I've only had the car 2 yrs. and the entire transmission is now being replaced!? This was a $24K car. To say I'm very disappointed is an under statement. Sadly, I'm now considering trading this in on a more reliable brand once repairs are done.
2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I have driven the car for about 600 miles. It is fun to drive, steering is precise and gives a great feel for the road. Acceleration is plenty good for an engine this size. I have bee n getting 38-40 miles per gallon driven 2/3 highway 1/3 city. The ride is firm, much more than a Corolla or a Accord.
I think
it is great for the driver, not so great for every body else. Seats are comfortable with good lumbar support.
The blind spot warning system and the adaptative lights are great and function flawlessly. The Bose stereo is very good but not outstanding. Trunk space is limited but OK for a commuter car.
Steering, fuel economy. The undefinable Zoom Zoom
Softer ride would help. Less road noise too.
2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I just got my Mazda 3 4 days ago and I love it. I had been looking at buying a new car for about 5 months and I was trying to decide between the mazda and the dodge dart. As of now I think I made the right choice The only negatives to this car is I don't recommend if your going to have frequent passangers in the back seat it is a little tight. If you really need a navigation system this one is not adequate but for me I live in a small city so to me it is cute decoration. The heated seats will be nice in the winter I like how you there are 5 settings instead of just on or off. The seats are comfotable. I will wait to review more when I drive it in winter
Heated Seats, Sirus xm radio, leather seats, gas mileage, blind spot monitoring
backseat room and navigation screen like what is in the Mazda 6
2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
First car review I have ever written, at 59 yo too. But this car warrants the review!! We have had this car since the end of Nov., & 3500 miles on it now. Is my wife's car & her choice after driving the Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, VW Jetta...this was her choice hands down, & mine too! This is the first car my wife says, "she loves, & loves to drive", that she has ever had! She calls it her "ZZ"=zoomzoom-lol. When reading the original reviews of this car before buying it, I noted that the word "love" was used by most reviewers in the 1st paragragh=now I/we know why-it is plain fun to drive! Excellent car in all ways, as my ideal owned past car was a 1990 Nissan 300ZX, & this car matches it!!
Wife 'loves' the Bose stereo. The seats are very comfy & w/ the 5 range heating, are great! I am 6'2" w/ long legs & fits me just fine to drive. We are getting 30-32 mpg city/hiway combo, & our first long day highway trip doing ~70mph, & up/down WA mts. too, got 41mpg=great!! Wife says just plain fun to drive, in that peppy, quick, fast & accurate steering. The ride has mellowed from very firm, to comfy firm after this break in time of 3500 miles,so is near perfect ride now=smooth ride & tight in turns w/ little or no body lean, even though ones shoulder is in the door=compares to the old 300ZX rocket ship I owned. Just plain fun & great car to drive, over this past 5 months!! Reco=buy it!!!
The road noise is the only factor, but is fine & no big deal. But I had to rental 2 cars this past few months, that were equals to this car...Honda Civic & Nissan Altima...& the road noise was near the same, so is a wash in comaparison now. Only car better in noise was the Hyndai Elantra & VW Jetta deisel...but not by a huge margin. I thought that "little" Nav window was too small at first, but now is perfect!!...it is up hi on dash, right in the field of driving vision, & just large enuff to see what ya need to see, & thus not distracting=a perfect engineering design, imo!!...so this too is a washout complaint. All in all, no complaints & great car=one of best ever owned in lifetime!!!!
2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I own 3 Mazdas, all from 2012 (cx9, 6, and 3).
I agree with all regarding this car's excellent performance, gas mileage and design.
I have the Grand Touring i with Skyactiv and Tech Package and my wife and I love it for all the reasons above.
One word of caution though.
Insurance is quite high.
The premium for my mazda3 is 50% higher than that of my brand new CX-9 which is worth $10k more than the mazda3.
And my wife and I are considered the best drivers by Geico. So, if you think you save lots on gas mileage, think twice, after valueing insurance.
THis is considered a sports car, unlike competitors such as Civic or corolla.
If you like a fun and green car, then get the mazda3.
Blind spot monitoring, great mileage, auto-shifting lights.

Boy, you guys yarn shop would love me as I knit left handed. My personal opinion is as long as whatever you are knitting comes out ok, who cares? The one thing I had to learn was not to stress out about booboos. I used to freak when I would drop a stitch etc but now, I just fix it! The yarn shops here won't help you unless you buy from them and I refuse unless it is something I can't get discount. I am not paying more for something I can get at Michaels or Hobby Lobby or even Walmarts or online. I heard of one poor lady that lives here that was given her supply list for her first class (wasn't told she had to purchase at the yarn shop) and went and got stuff at Walmarts. Showed up and they wouldn't let her take the class and told her the class fee was non-refundable and refused to give her money back to her! Caveat Empter I guess! :XX:
