Flying Solo
Real convo with M before bed on Friday:
M: So did you carbo load tonight?
Me: If by carb load, you mean eat the entire jar of salsa, then yes.
Friday night for dinner: an entire jar of salsa with Tostito's Scoops. Is anyone else not seeing the "Hot" Tostito's salsa in grocery stores lately? Or is that just here?
Saturday 4:30AM: off to NYC to run the NYRR Al Gordon Classic 4-Miler in Brooklyn. I knew that my favorite Enthusiastic Runner was running it, but wasn't sure if we'd cross paths a midst the 4,000 runners. But we did end up finding each other and having a fun run together.
Saturday 12:30PM: Finally dragged my butt out of bed. Showered, did our laundry, vacuumed, cleaned, ran the dishwasher, made cake balls, played with my new Erin Condren planner, chatted with M on the phone
Saturday 10:30PM: Fell asleep wearing my 'cuse scarf while watching the 'cuse kick some UCONN butt. 10 hours of sleep was much needed.
Sunday 8:30AM: Out of bed, ready to tackle the day. Trip to Michael's for some frames, visited my parents, blogged, watched TV, gym for a bike workout, home to shower, read some more, cook dinner, then paint my nails.
Sunday 7:30PM: M arrives home and couldn't be happier. An evening of tasty food, drinking red vino, and watching the Oscar's.
I'm a happy girl. How was your weekend? I tried something different with this post, a.k.a. not writing in complete sentences, but not so sure how I feel about it yet.

okay I thought of you last week and HAVE to tell you this story. I am obsessed with a morning show here in Austin called the Bobby Bones Show. One of the hosts (Lunchbox) is such a dbag but sooo funny. He always makes fun of people but it adds some light to the show. There was a marathon in Austin last weekend and he was saying how running a marathon would be so easy and why does everyone make a big deal about it. So...they all made a bet that he wouldnt run a full marathon without training that Friday. Well this past Friday...HE RAN ONE! WITHOUT ANY TRAINING! 4 hours 25 min. I was appalled and amazing, I thought he would last maybe 30 min! My knees were hurting listening to the show!

Sounds like a perfect weekend! You don't need Tostitos 'Hot' Salsa you need me to send you amazing El Fenix Salsa. It's an institution of a restaurant here in Dallas and they have amazing salsa, I'm almost convinced that it's laced with something to make it so addictive!

on December 24, 2012 - 12:02 AM
MIAMI, Fla. – Stevie Johnson was seething Sunday.
The Buffalo Bills receiver was angry with the officials, angry with the result and – most of all – angry with himself after the Miami Dolphins beat the Bills, 24-10, in Sun Life Stadium.
Johnson had a day to forget. He fumbled. He dropped passes. He failed to secure what should've been a touchdown, losing the ball after crossing the goal line and leaving the call open to interpretation.
He had one reception (which he coughed up) entering the fourth quarter and finished with four catches for 44 yards.
"I'm real upset about this game," Johnson said. "Most of the big plays, I was involved in. I didn't make them.
"Me being the competitor I am, I feel it's all on me."
Johnson was so sullen that running back Tashard Choice felt compelled to give him a pep talk in the locker room. As they stood in their street clothes, Choice implored Johnson to be an example for his teammates.
Johnson, in a teal ball cap with a dead Dolphin floating upside down, nodded.
"He takes it so personally because he loves to win, loves to compete," Choice said. "With the season we've had, great players take it on themselves, and it shows in his frustration at times.
"With him being a leader on this team, he has to sometimes keep himself cool for the betterment of the team. He can drop 10 balls, but he still has to be uplifting because other guys look to him."
Johnson already had been charged with a questionable fumble when his would-be touchdown was wiped away by side judge Jeff Lamberth's incompletion call in the second quarter.
Johnson made what appeared to be a slick 23-yard touchdown catch along the right sideline. He took two steps and lurched forward, crossing the goal line with the ball in his hands. But he lost the ball when he hit the ground.
Johnson went bonkers when Lamberth signaled incomplete.
"If that's the case, the … fumble shouldn't have been a fumble," Johnson said. "That's what I was frustrated about. I held onto it longer than the fumble. If I didn't have possession of the touchdown, then I didn't have possession before the fumble."
Asked whether coach Chan Gailey should have challenged the play, Johnson shrugged and said he should have caught the ball cleanly to erase any doubt.
Referee Walt Anderson explained Lamberth's call was correct because a receiver going to the ground must complete the catch.
The confusion comes from the definition of "going to the ground" because Johnson took two steps before diving.
"We thought it was" a touchdown, Bills running back C.J. Spiller said. "But the ref made the call that he made. ... We definitely thought that he scored on that one."
Said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick: "I thought he grabbed it, took a couple steps and then I guess when he went down and it popped out. But I don't know. That's all I saw."
Johnson's day started poorly. He fumbled on his first reception of the game, his 70th of the season to join Andre Reed as the only Bills to notch at least that many in three straight seasons.
Johnson still needs 65 yards to reach 1,000 for the third season in a row. Last year, he became the first Bills receiver to have consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
"I'm counted on to be one of the playmakers of this team, of this offense," Johnson said. "Our defense stepped up and played very good, and I was nowhere to be found in the first half.
"Those are plays that I make. Those are plays I've made the entire season. Today, I didn't. The frustration on the field, I was mad. It was the heat of the moment, but at the end of the day it's on me to make those plays. That's what I'm here for."
Bills tight end Scott Chandler was carted off with a knee injury in the first quarter and H-back Dorin Dickerson in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.
"Scott doesn't look good at all," Gailey said.
Chandler is Buffalo's second-leading receiver with 43 catches for 571 yards and six touchdowns.
Gailey didn't have a report on Dickerson, who exited the locker room under his own power.
Bills safety Da'Norris Searcy left the game with a groin injury in the second quarter. An update on his status was unavailable.
Bills defensive tackle Alex Carrington blocked another kick. He has deflected four field goals or extra points this year, the most by a Bills player since at least 1988, when complete block records were first compiled.
Carrington's right forearm diverted Nate Kaeding's 45-yard field-goal attempt in the first quarter.
"Bruce DeHaven, our special teams coach, tells us all the time, 'I can't guarantee that you'll block a kick. But I can guarantee you will not block it if you don't try,' " Carrington said. "So I just go hard every time, try to get my hand up and hope he'll kick a low ball or get penetration."
Carrington also deflected Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely's 38-yard attempt as regulation time expired in Week Six. The game went into sudden death, where the Bills won.
Carrington blocked Houston Texans kicker Shayne Graham's 46-yard attempt in Week Nine and an extra point try from Seattle Seahawks kicker Matt Hauschka last week in Toronto.
Bills linebacker Kirk Morrison got into his first game this year. The former Oakland Raiders captain had been inactive all 12 games before the Bills released him Dec. 3. The Bills re-signed Morrison last week after linebacker Arthur Moats was placed on injured reserve.
Linebacker Greg Lloyd Jr., promoted from the practice squad last week, made his NFL debut.
Rookie wide receiver Chris Hogan also was added from the practice squad and dressed for his first NFL game, but he wasn't sent onto the field against the team with which he spent training camp.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The Cleveland Browns fans at Moose Lodge 122 are a patient bunch. One could even call them long-suffering.
On Super Bowl Sunday, they were a beleaguered minority amidst a sea of Pittsburgh Steelers fans. But with neither "local" team playing in Super Bowl XLVII, Moose Lodge members celebrated the day in the best way they know how - among family and friends, with a beer and a steak, watching the game on big-screen TVs.
The annual Super Bowl steak dinner/party at Moose Lodge 122 brings out hundreds of football adherents, so much so that 500 steaks have to be ordered, said administrator Butch Duke.

"They look forward to this all year long," Duke said, "We've had one every year since I've been here, which has been 24 years."
The steak dinners served on Sunday - many of them for carry-out - included steak with onions and mushrooms, green beans, a bake potato, coleslaw and bread. All for $10.
In the kitchen cooking, serving and taking orders was an East End family of football fans - Georgeina Emler, a Steelers fan; her daughter, Connie Dickey, a Dallas Cowboys fan; her grandchildren, Steelers fan Renee Dickey and Philadelphia Eagles fan Kevin Dickey; and family friend, Kay Beaver.
"We've been doing this for six years," Renee Dickey said, noting that the family serves from noon to 5 p.m., then spends 90 minutes cleaning up.
"By the time we get home," the 18-year-old said, "pre-game is over, and we watch the second half."
"By the time we're done," her mother said, "I'm ready to go home and go to bed."
Not everyone who goes to the Moose party stays for the whole game. Some enjoy their steak dinner and stay for the first half. Longtime Browns fan Bill Farnsworth, 64, of East Liverpool, and his wife, Punk, 63, come early for the party but watch the game at home.
"The best seat in the house is my recliner," Bill Farnsworth said.
Even though the Farnsworths never miss a Moose Lodge Super Bowl party, what they really want is a Cleveland Browns Super Bowl. Bill Farnsworth hastened to add that the Browns won plenty of national championships before the national championship became known as the Super Bowl.
"They've had their time, and they'll have their time again," he said.
"I feel the Browns will get things together in the next couple years," said Browns fan Tommy Allen, 58, of East Liverpool. "Hopefully, the draft will treat us well."
Allen said he comes to the party mainly for the feeling of camaraderie and friendship among the Moose members. A 30-year member who recently re-joined, Allen said he enjoys "hanging out with the guys and gals and just having a good time."
On Sunday, he was there with his daughters, Jackie and Jessie. Asked if any past Super Bowls were particularly memorable, he said, "Hopefully, this one."
Browns fan Dwayne "Smitty" Smith, 50, of Calcutta, said he normally roots for the AFC representative in the Super Bowl - but not if it's Baltimore or Pittsburgh. This year, he was going with the San Francisco 49ers.
Moose Lodge employee Maria Douglass, 50, of Calcutta, had Super Bowl Sunday off, so she spent it - where else? - at the Moose. "It's fun," she said. "A lot of nice people. It don't matter who's playing."

McNair, who was from Peekskill, New York, became close friends with Morgan after the two met at Harlem's Uptown Comedy Club when Morgan was first starting out. McNair acted as a mentor to Morgan and accompanied the 30 Rock star to his show at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Delaware, from where they were returning when the accident occurred.
McNair's sister, Valerie Daniel, told CNN that McNair "spoke very highly of Tracy. They go way back."
Morgan's ex-wife, Sabina Morgan, also noted their close friendship, telling The New York Daily News, "He was one of the first comedians that took Tracy under his wing. They were very close."
Many of McNair's peers expressed their condolences after learning of his death. On Saturday, Steve Martin Tweeted, "So sorry to hear about the death of fellow comedian Jimmy Mack in the horrible accident."
Royale Watkins, a Los Angeles-based comedian who said he had performed in New York clubs with Morgan and McNair, described McNair as having a big personality.
"There may be guys like Tracy who get the fame and notoriety, but you have people like Jimmy Mack who have kind of energized and fueled cats like Tracy and kept them going on the road," Watkins told the Associated Press.

Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, have been around for thousands of years. They are a human parasite (organism living in, with, or on another organism) from the insect family Cimicidae, which thrives in temperate and tropical regions worldwide. Bed bugs are exclusively hematophagous (they feed only on blood). They are small but visible to the naked eye, wingless, yellow to reddish brown in color, oval shaped, and have prominent eyes. They can hide in the cracks and crevices of mattresses, in box springs, on the backboards of beds, and behind loose wallpaper baseboards, and they can travel in furniture, luggage, clothing, and other personal belongings. The stigma commonly associated with bed bugs is mostly unwarranted because infestation is not necessarily attributable to lack of hygiene. International travel, immigration, and resistance to insecticides have contributed to a resurgence in reports of infestations with these insects in developed countries. Bed bugs are predominantly night feeders, attracted to warm-blooded animals, including humans. There is currently no scientific evidence that these blood-sucking insects spread diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The April 1, 2009, issue of JAMA includes an article about bed bugs.
Graphic Jump Location
In many cases there is no reaction and barely any visible evidence of a puncture from a bite.
The most common reaction is the development of small inflamed pruritic (itchy) bumps where each bite occurred. These usually resolve in a week or 2.
An allergic reaction to the bed bug bite can cause a complex skin reaction that results in urticaria (inflammation and swelling of the skin) at the site of the bite. This may evolve into a more widespread bullous (fluid-filled bump) rash over the subsequent days and may become complicated by secondary bacterial infections.
Rarely, asthma occurs as a systemic type of an allergic reaction caused by bed bug bites and may be accompanied by more extensive urticaria and anaphylaxis (severe and sometimes fatal reaction to an allergen resulting in breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, and eventually shock if untreated).
There is no definitive treatment for bed bugs.
Symptomatic relief for pruritic bites can be obtained using over-the-counter topical antihistamines or topical corticosteroids. Topical, oral, or intravenous antibiotics may be required when secondary bacterial infections occur.
Urgent intramuscular injection with an antihistamine, corticosteroid, or epinephrine (adrenaline) may be required for some individuals who develop a systemic allergic reaction to bed bug bites.
Bed bugs are difficult to eliminate.
Proper identification by thorough inspection of areas thought to be at risk of infestation including hotel rooms or other unfamiliar locations. Items like mattresses, box springs, and bedding purchased from resale shops should be carefully inspected before bringing them into the home.
Vacuuming mattresses and box springs may help.
Covering mattresses and box springs with encasements that prevent escape of bed bugs may help.
Insecticides in the same class as those used to prevent malaria transmitted by mosquitoes in tropical countries have been moderately effective, but bed bugs are developing resistance to these and there is some concern about the health effects of these insecticides on humans.

The Frenchie may be the perfect apartment dog, but do not leave him alone for hours on end, since he craves
attention and the companionship of his owner. Alert, intelligent, and loyal, this breed gets along in multi-dog
households. The Frenchie is neither a miniature English Bulldog nor a relation to the Boston Terrier.
One ancestor is almost certainly the English Bulldog. In the mid 1800's, these miniature Bouledogue Francais,
mixed with other breeds, were popular in the high society of France. Some had the "rose" ears of an English
Bulldog, and some the "bat" ears so characteristic of the breed today. Once Americans became involved at the
turn of the 20th century, the breed really started looking distinct. In the early 1900's, the Frenchie was one
of the most popular dogs in the United States.
A French Bulldog may wheeze and snore and is very sensitive to the heat and cold. Keep him cool in the summer
and dress him up warmly in chilly weather.
This breed's head is flat between the ears with a rounded forehead and a broad, deep muzzle. The Frenchie's

William Allen White, at the height of the Populist revolt of the 1890s, completely exasperated, asked, "What's the matter with Kansas?" So flummoxed with what he saw as a foolish political uprising by farmers, the Emporia Gazette editor could not allow any empathy to enter his opinion concerning the agrarian revolt.
Much the same can be said of some Democrats in West Virginia in 2012. After voting regularly for the Democratic party the voters of the Mountain State suddenly changed as if by magic to Republicans, and not the moderate type but the "severe" version. Beginning in 2000, the GOP began to dominate the presidential elections. The state that voted for Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Bill Clinton twice suddenly had joined the forces of darkness, or so the story went.
The explanation for 2000 was stunningly simple, or at least for West Virginia Democrats: guns. The fact that Al Gore's views did not defer markedly from Clinton's was ignored. Perhaps the citizens of the state were somehow being led astray by the National Rifle Association. It was an easy explanation that could not possibly explain the margin that Gore lost by. John Kerry and Barack Obama's losses were fobbed off by adding not only firearms but swift boats and race to the mix.
In a book in 2004, Thomas Franks looked at right-wing success in Kansas and concluded that people voted against their own interest. In my opinion that view was and is colossally mistaken and not just a little arrogant. But many progressives agreed and made it a model for explaining why West Virginians no longer swooned when Democrats spoke.
Perhaps West Virginians saw their interests differently. For many years, the Democratic Party protected the health and safety of coal miners. However, the coal industry steadily lost jobs, first to automation and then to competition. As the jobs shrank the Democrats lost their credibility. Safety means little if you do not have employment. Add environmental demands, mountaintop removal for example, and the remaining jobs, admittedly fewer in numbers, are threatened. Well-paying jobs are hard to come by and simply cannot be replaced by touristy towns with cute boutiques. No, it was more than guns.
Playing with other people's money and aspirations is a tricky business, and if it's your ox being gored understandably you resent having to pay for those not directly impacted. Great Society liberalism, braced as it was on a view that "the impossible takes a little longer," was a bit too optimistic. Consensus works well as the pie grows. In the 1960s, with its impressive jumps in Gross National Product, it looked as if America could have it all. As the industrial sector shrank slowly beginning in the 1970s it became increasingly a set of choices.
Add on to that the sense that the Democratic Party has become more civil rights oriented rather than committed to economic equity, is it surprising that West Virginian workers might have shopped around? In 1965, Lyndon Johnson made little effort to repeal Taft- Hartley.
Environmentalism and anti-poverty also joined the priorities of the administration, as issues linked to protecting jobs in the coal fields and steelworks diminished.
Too often, working people are written off as a highly manipulated voter. This too is a specious argument that has been disproven. In 1968, George Wallace ran badly in West Virginia thanks to the United Mine Workers. No less than the populists, the voters of the Mountain State searched for an alternative to protect home and hearth from the rough winds of change.
Certainly Democrats would be smart to understand the reason behind that phenomenon rather than deride the voters themselves.

That's definitely true. I feel there is so much more riding on Sochi as it's the last time we will probably see both of them in the same competition. Although Yuna is coming in as the heavy favorite once again, Mao has been steadily improving this quad while in the leadup to Vancouver, she peaked 2 seasons too early and went downhill from there. At least this time she could conceivably put up a fight to keep it even going into the LP, while 4 years ago she went all out in the SP and Yuna still squashed her by 5 points. Either way, if they once again finish 1-2 their legacies will certainly be assured (as if they weren't already) no matter what order.
She'll need a crowbar.
Blades, I know this is Yu-Na's just done her debut but I am curious to know what your thoughts are with regard to her short program?
I really think Yu-Na needs one or two more outings before Sochi. She needs these programs under competitive scrutiny. Does she plan to go to Korean Nationals or 4CC? If she goes to 4CC perhaps she can see how her programs stack up against Mao's.
If she can hit all her planned content without getting under-rotation calls, she should be able to win. She still has two months to get her sal more stable; it's still hit or miss at the moment, and work on the landing of her axel. Vancouver Olympics was the first time Yuna did her SP and FP perfectly. Maybe Sochi will be the first time Mao does her programs perfectly.
Yu-na, now heart broken and ashamed of her vampyric state, paid an extraordinary sum of money to a group of mystic experts so that they would quest into the Arirang mountain and hopefully procure an ancient remedy for her malady. It's said that only few extremely talented and lucky individuals are able to complete the quest every century. People are plucked out of childhood and trained in the arts their whole lives just to fulfill this purpose, but the task is nearly impossible. While living out her days as a vampire, uncertain if she would actually be cured, Yu-Na decided to also experiment with radical scientific procedures in order to cleanse herself.
One very diabolical scientist said he had a cure for Yu-Na, which had so far been successful on mice. She was willing to try anything and underwent the surgery. The scientist had lied to her, though. What he actually wanted was to experiment on her supernaturally altered body, trying genetic mutations that would quickly kill any normal human. His experiment was successful; he altered the DNA of the bones in Yu-Na's legs to make them nearly unbreakable, which was tested by trying to slice through part of her lower leg with a silver saber. However, a side effect was caused by this procedure: Yu-Na was in immense pain daily as the genetic mutation constantly created internal pressure within her body. Enraged by the scientist's treachery after discovering what he had really done, Yu-Na quickly consumed his blood and used his corpse as kindling for her fireplace.
Luck shined upon Yu-Na, though! One of the mystics had returned from the Arirang mountain and actually been able to obtain the cure for her vapirism! She immediately drank the potion and found herself returned to a warm-blooded human state the next morning. The pain in her legs was even gone. Upon returning to the ice rink to train for the glorious Golden Spin of Zagreb competition and get back on track with her life, she found her legs to feel a little heavier than before. The experiment performed on her had carried through back to her human state and she now had unbreakable leg bones that were a little denser then before. At first this extra weight threw her jumps off, but every time she fell her legs were never in danger. This quickly gave her the confidence to jump without fear and adapt to the additional weight gain.
In summation, it's going to take a lot of strong hits with a nice heavy crowbar to really hurt Yu-Na's legs. Her bones are super-reinforced now and one wimpy little Nancy Kerrigan whack won't be enough.
I would argue that Mao really needs a YOLO skate i.e. at least 1 3A and 3-3 in her FP to have a shot if Kim is clean throughout. This is because at the Olympics, the judges will award GOEs like crazy and the person who benefits from this most is Kim.

An eccentric who is usually driven by religious fever. They will take irrational social or political positions and not care that people will think that they are off balance. Being extreme somehow substantiates their faith.
Those guys doing the beheadings are all wing nuts

Or "wingnut". A fandom term referring to a fan of Aaron Sorkin's political drama TV series, "The West Wing"
Call me a wingnut, but I'd vote for Bartlet any day.

The program for the Master of Science in Mathematics is intended to provide students with knowledge of theoretical mathematics that will give them the opportunity to be successful in their chosen careers, the ability to appreciate the beauty and discipline of abstract mathematics, and the capability to sense the power of mathematical applications.
The graduate courses offered by the faculty introduce the student to higher mathematics in a flexible, informal manner. Classes are small and faculty encourage students to participate in active discussions.
As students learns mathematics, the interaction with vigorous and creative faculty will lead them to work on open or unsolved problems, and, thus, reach the frontiers of mathematical research.

CHESTER - Family, friends, community members and even the AirEvac Lifeteam that flew him to Pittsburgh Children's Hospital came out to show their support for Tyler Simpson at the Team Tyler Benefit Day at The Fire House Bar and Grill in Chester on Saturday.
Doors for the event opened at 3 p.m. and soon thereafter the establishment was bustling with people eager to show their support for Simpson. All proceeds from the event went to Tyler's family to help pay for medical expenses.
The event featured a spaghetti dinner, a 50/50 drawing, a Chinese auction with items donated from the community, and a visit from the Air Evac crew who flew Tyler to the hospital following the accident.

The three-man crew flew in to the event in a AirEvac Lifeteam helicopter landing next door at the Lawerenceville Fire Department. They stayed for dinner and to catch up on Tyler's condition since they transported him to the Pittsburgh Hospital in November.
After the dinner, local music acts Chad Squires, Brad Gibson, Kent Cox, Plan B, Coat Rack Life Jack and Fred Ludovici and the Mad River Men pitched in by donating their talents to the cause.
Allison Scarry, Tyler's mother, reported that Tyler's condition is steadily improving, stating that he "looks around" and seems more alert.
Since Tyler's accident in November, Scarry has been at his bedside nearly non-stop. Scarry added that she probably would not have even left his side for the benefit if not for the fact that he was "having a good day today."
"I'm one of those mothers that cling to their children," said Scarry with a weary smile.
Tyler, an eighth grader at Oak Glen Middle School, was severely injured in an accident on Nov. 18 in which he was struck by trailer being pulled by a truck in Chester.
Tyler sustained injuries to his skull and brain in the accident and remains in the hospital's intensive care unit.
As the Fire House Bar and Grill continued to fill with people Saturday, Tyler's friends and family expressed gratitude at seeing the community unite.
"We are all extremely touched by and thankful for the way the community, family and friends have really pulled together. I can't thank (owner of th Fire House Bar and Grill) Dave Albaneso enough for his help and letting us use his business, and the staff at the Fire House they've been wonderful too. It's been a real blessing," said Katie Barnes who helped organize the event along side of Robin Crowe and many other members of Team Tyler.
As Tyler Simpson continues his fight, the loving and ever-growing group of family, friends, and community members known as Team Tyler will continue to do all they can to support him.

Thank You For Making Us A Top PFBlog
|Email Print
This week, Will and Greg at Wise Bread announced that they've upgraded their Top 100 Personal Finance blogs rankings to include a variety of metrics and offer incredible sorting capabilities. I'm a firm believer that hard work should be rewarded and in the currency of the web, that reward should be in links.
I'm a little biased though… because by many metrics, Bargaineering is recognized as one of the top personal finance blogs. It's one of the top sites because of you. Thank you. Thank you for visiting every day. Thank you for printing out articles and emailing them to your friends. Thank you for subscribing to the feed so you get posts piped directly to your email for free. When this site started four years ago, there were only five personal finance blogs – today there are hundreds of thousands. It's grown by leaps and bounds, far more than I ever imagines, and I am honored that this site is one that you all come back to every day.
At the end of the day, we're in this together. I'm glad to have been able to provide the platform for this burgeoning community on the web but I'm even happier that so many of you have joined me and bought into it. I've been very happy seeing the Bargaineering Forums grow as quickly as they have. I wanted it to be a place where communication would be a lot easier than in blog comments and you haven't disappointed. Over a hundred members in the short time it's been up, thank you so much! If you haven't joined yet, please do, you get the expertise of a hundred people rather than the limited expertise of one. 🙂
Before this lovefest gets too carried away, I wanted to wish you all a happy weekend. I think I'm just sappy because my wife and I are celebrating our one year anniversary in Disney (those following on Twitter, you should join Twitter!, were getting some Tweets about it but normally I stick with breaking news or more useful financial information).
Have a great weekend!{ 11 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The engaged couple, who recently obtained a marriage license in advance of their planned nuptials in Italy, dined at the Grand Hotel Villa d'Este at Cernobbio on Aug. 7 near Clooney's Lake Como home.
"George kissed Amal and she gave him a neck massage," an observer says. "They looked very much in love. After dinner the two took a stroll through the gardens arm-in-arm."
Clooney, 53, and Alamuddin, 36, also went for a boat ride before leaving town on a private jet.
In July, Clooney told Variety of his lawyer fiancée, "I'm marrying up."

In order to keep you informed about progress in the work to make sure grinnell.edu meets your needs as well as the College's marketing priorities, I wanted to update you on the latest fixes and improvements:
- Staffing: We have hired a full-time, very experienced temporary staffer, Kabenla Armah '04, to help us work through the tickets and critical work for at least the next 4–6 weeks.
- Audit: With the College's Interactive team, Kabenla will do a full audit of each department and office's area of grinnell.edu. If your department has already done your own review and sent us change requests, Kabenla and our staff will review your list against the site and ensure that your requests have been completed. If you have not sent us a list of revisions, we will request a meeting with your appointed faculty and staff representatives to compile such a list. The audit will include: fixing all broken links, verifying that faculty/staff are showing up where they should be, importing documents and files, and re-creating web forms. Once each audit is complete and the updates are implemented, we will request a second meeting with your departmental representatives to ensure that you are satisfied with the outcome. A preliminary schedule for these meetings is now posted on the new website. As you can see, we have a long list of meetings to conduct, so expect this phase to last up to six weeks. We appreciate your patience while we work to meet your needs.
- Ticketing for urgent issues: If you have immediate issues or concerns that you feel must be addressed without waiting for the audit, please submit a ticket through our web support request system.
- Submitting new content: Throughout the audit process Communications will post news items to the site as requested, both for the front page and your department/office pages. We encourage you to use the news submission form to send us this content. Communications will also consider these submissions for possible publication across all of the College's media resources, including press releases, print publications, and social media. We will contact you about any such plans to ensure your consent. Please continue to request all other content revisions, except for news items, through the web support request form.
- Calendar integration: This work is progressing well. By the end of next week, you will be able to submit events to grinnell.edu through the same process you already use to reserve space in the calendar application. As part of that space-request process, Conference Operations staff will then ask you whether you want your event to publish to the web. If you do, they will check a box on their form to make the event publishable. Please note that you can still opt to schedule a room or space without having your event appear on the web. This is essential for confidential or sensitive events such as student conduct hearings.
- Menu improvements: We are making excellent progress on developing a new single-level main menu. In addition to combining the main menu items and Quick Links, a link to the Pioneer Athletics website will be added to the top of the home page. This is very important for prospective students, many of whom are student-athletes or otherwise interested in our athletics programs as a component of the Grinnell experience. Look for these changes to appear on the site by the end of next week.
Once again, please submit all website changes and fixes through our web support request system. If you do not receive a response to your ticket, or if you have additional questions, please contact Sarah Anderson, Director of Interactive Communications, at anderssa[at]grinnell[dot]edu.
For now we will continue to send you these updates on a weekly basis, so you know progress is being made.
Thank you once more for your patience and support. We are making steady progress toward a site that meets both our external and internal needs.

HARRISBURG (AP) - Former Gov. Ed Rendell on Friday criticized Pennsylvania Democrats over their "ill-advised" call for a moratorium on fracking.
The Democratic State Committee voted 115-81 last weekend in favor of a resolution calling for an open-ended moratorium on fracking, the technique that drilling companies use to extract natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation. Opponents contend fracking is an environmental menace, while drilling companies and many regulators say the technique is safe.
Rendell, who has indirect ties to the gas industry, told The Patriot-News of Harrisburg that the party's call to put the brakes on fracking puts it at odds with two of his past environmental protection secretaries - John Hanger and Kathleen McGinty - both Democrats now running for governor.
"It's very ill-advised," Rendell said. "The two biggest environmentalists in the state, who are both running for governor, both approved of fracking, permitted it and moved to put in place changes that have dramatically reformed the fracking process."
He added that fracking has "created jobs and huge economic investment in Pennsylvania."
Rendell is consultant to a private equity firm with natural gas investments, according to The Patriot-News.
Hanger told the newspaper he in favor of an existing moratorium in state forests, and strict regulation on private property.

Kiko Alonso wasn't sure what to expect while walking off the field after his first practice with the Bills, so he did what came natural. The rookie linebacker stood his ground and tackled the issue before moving on to the next question, the next play of his career, the next step of his life.
Yes, he made mistakes at the University of Oregon, also known as the location where Animal House was filmed in the 1970s. In fact, he screwed up big time. He was arrested for driving under the influence in 2010. Fifteen months later, he passed out in a stranger's house, bringing new meaning to the term "all-out blitz."
The incidents could be viewed in numerous ways. One is that he may very well have a drinking problem. Another is that his behavior should be filed under Young & Dumb. A third possibility is that it's a combination of both. Alonso immediately pleaded guilty to the middle option.
"Definitely college-kid stuff," he said. "I was a young kid, immature, and I made mistakes. I've put it in my past. I'm just trying to focus on football."
Alonso's answers sounded rehearsed, but what else can he say? The last thing he needed after his first NFL workout was a discussion about his heavy boozing in college. He's a polite kid. He didn't shy away from the subject, but he sounded shy. Ask him for his two cents, and he gives you a penny and makes you scrounge for the other.
Fortunately, his actions didn't end in tragedy. Rather than pass judgment and jump to conclusions, consider the facts and be realistic. Take a look in the mirror, too. Raise your hand if you have a few regrettable moments from your college days. I'll raise two hands, only because I don't have more.
For most kids, the stunts they pulled never reach their parents let alone the newspapers. Amen. That said, nobody is condoning his actions, either, or giving him a free pass after two alcohol-related arrests. He was sentenced to two years probation, 200 hours of community service and ordered to counseling. He said he hasn't had a drink in years.
"I just put it in my past," he said. "I'm moving forward and focusing on football."
Fair enough, it's time Alonso learns from his mistakes and becomes a functional adult. He's being held to a higher standard. If he's going to be a professional athlete, he needs to carry himself like one. The same goes for free agent receiver Da'Rick Rogers, who was signed after failing multiple drug tests. Doug Marrone made his message clear Friday when answering a question about Rogers. This is your second chance, fellas, and there might not be another. Straighten out whatever problems you had before arriving in Buffalo. You're playing with men now, and it's time to start acting like one.
"I've talked to them just like I have spoken to other players," Marrone said. "You have an outstanding opportunity. People are going to be watching. It is probably going to be your last shot. As long as you understand that, that is what you get yourself into. It's all on you."
Evidently, the Bills saw minimal risk when selecting Alonso with the 46th pick. They're not looking for angels on defense. They're desperate for a middle linebacker who has a nose for the ball and can attack the line of scrimmage. If he can stay out of trouble and perform on the field, his troubles in college will be forgotten.
The early returns were promising. He's 6-foot-3 and 238 pounds but doesn't have a hulking frame. He's long and athletic and has good speed after coming back from a torn ACL. In fact, he was rehabbing when he was busted for DUI. He was suspended for the 2010 season, but likely would have missed the entire year, anyway.
Alonso was an energetic and exciting player at Oregon, which was in stark contrast to his quiet demeanor in rookie camp. Marrone planned to talk to him about containing himself from hitting teammates without pads during seven-on-seven drills. Moments later, Alonso barely made a peep.
"I'm much different on the field than I am off the field," he said. "Football is a lot different from regular life. Football is intense. I save that for the football field."
Alonso was a standout baseball player as a kid but gave up the sport because he was hooked on the speed and contact that comes with football. He's been a tackling machine since he played at Los Gatos High, the same school in Northern California that produced Trent Edwards.
Alonso was born in Boston, lived in Texas for 10 years and landed in California before high school. His father is a computer engineer who grew up in Puerto Rico. His mother is a Spanish teacher. Alonso and his two brothers are fluent in English and Spanish, and all three are good athletes.
His older brother, Carlos, is a middle infielder in the Phillies organization and currently playing in Class A Clearwater. His younger brother, Lucas, has aspirations to become a mixed martial arts fighter. Kiko is the biggest, so the other two ganged up on him when they were growing up. He can expect more double-teams next season.
He sounds like he's ready.
Alonso might have been a first-round pick last month if not for his problems off the field. Scouts liked his instincts for the game, his ability to take on blockers and his ability in pass coverage. He had four interceptions last season and was defensive MVP in the 2011 Rose Bowl, when Oregon beat Wisconsin and quarterback Russell Wilson in a shootout.
It's funny how things work out. Tom Brady grew up about 30 miles from Los Gatos in San Mateo, Calif. Brady is a legend in Boston but arrived after Alonso moved to Texas. He was a star in Northern California but was gone before Alonso showed up in Los Gatos. Alonso will be chasing him twice this season.
He's taking the next step.
"I'm ready to come in here and compete," Alonso said. "I'm grateful for the opportunity. It's surreal. I'm still in shock. It's just awesome, and I'm excited."

Despite the fact that its monsters have been rather quiet since we first heard about them during last year's Tokyo Game Show, Monster Hunter 4 not only still exists, but it even has a "Spring 2013" Japanese release window, according to Andriasang's translation of Famitsu's breakdown of the above trailer.
The trailer also shows off the 3DS title's grand and/or sweeping vistas, dragonish and monkey-esque monsters, gross squishy bugs and adorable little dinosaur guys, as well as all the running, jumping and climbing things that our hero will be doing on his way to kill anything bigger than he is. Sadly, there is still no word on a North American release window.
