: The Ten Year, Tiny Tim Tribute Memorial Concert ...
Oak Street Cinema
Minnesota Film Arts is offering an early holiday gift: a free preview of Mel Gibson's latest film project, "Apocalypto," which looks to be a synergy of concerns that Gibson has explored in what I consider to be his best ("Braveheart") and worst ("The Passion") work. Set during the decline of ancient Mayan civilization, there's sure to be visceral violence as the Spanish conquistadors bloodily conquer the indigenous people and the Mayans escalate their rituals of human sacrifice and try to stave off colonization. The protagonist, Jaguar Paw (played by Rudy Youngblood), is slated for the sacrificial pyre. His journey of escape forms the core of this mythic/adventure/action film. So where's the gift? This screening is a free preview, and given Gibson's uneven work as a director, that's not a bad thing. Still, I've heard positive rumors about this film, and depicting colonization from an indigenous perspective is refreshing and worth a look.
7:30 p.m. Free. 309 Oak St. SE, Mpls. 612-331-3134 or
Amahl & the Night Visitors
Ritz Theater
This holiday ballet alternative to The Nutcracker offers the added joy of seeing the James Sewell Ballet in a splendid blend of classical ballet and contemporary dance that's wittily modern in its concept and choreography. Sewell is, after all, the company that conceived of transplanting Garrison Keillor's private eye on "Prairie Home Companion," Guy Noir, into a ballet! In this story, young Amahl and his widowed mother encounter Three Kings who are searching by star for—well, you know the story. But what you might not know is the magic touch that the James Sewell Ballet Company brings to it. I discovered the company last year and was absolutely wowed. This production draws on many different styles of dance and movement (including American Sign Language), making it the perfect multicultural holiday gift.
Through Dec. 3. Wed. – Sat. 7:30 p.m. Matinees Sat. 11 a.m. & 1 p.m.; Sun. 3 p.m. $25/$13. 343 13th Ave. NE, Mpls. 612-623-7660.
First Avenue
Fresh on the heels of scoring the indie hit "Little Miss Sunshine," Denver's DeVotchKa (whose name comes from "A Clockwork Orange"—it's Nadsat for "young girl") have released an EP of mostly covers entitled
Curse Your Little Heart
, which also happens to be the title of the sole original piece on the album. DeVotchKa's music is an exotic blend of Eastern European, Latin, jazz and indie rock influences, alternately coming off like a more classically-inclined Calexico or a calmer Gogol Bordello. This latest disc finds them tackling songs from Sinatra ("Somethin' Stupid," which you might fondly remember from the karaoke version sung by Sideshow Bob and Selma on "The Simpsons") to Siouxsie and the Banshees (album highlight "The Last Beat of My Heart") and even the Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs." That song gets the royal freakout treatment, with singer Nick Urata's voice stretched and frayed to an echoey shimmer that recalls Jeff Buckley's more out-there stuff. DeVotchKa's best quality is the lushness of their musical vision, and Curse Your Little Heart's re-interpretations form an able stopgap on the way to their next proper release. With My Brightest Diamond.
6 p.m. $13/$15. 18+. 701 First Ave. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388.

Green Green Water
Bell Museum of Natural History
It's an old story. Megadevelopments manipulate the environment as though "nobody's living there." Aboriginal people bear the brunt. We should be getting used to it. In the early '70s Manitoba Hydroelectric Company reversed the flow of the Churchhill River and diverted the water southward into the Nelson River, upon which they built five dams over a period of 20 years. In Minnesota, where we buy "clean, renewable" energy from Manitoba Hydro, we didn't start hearing about the damage until 1998. At that time Clean Water Action named it an "undesirable energy source." In 2006, on the heels of an announcement by Xcel Energy that it wishes to rely more heavily on Manitoba Hydro for Minnesota's energy, filmmaker Dawn Mikkelson has released the completed "Green Green Water." Filmed on a shoestring budget, it shows Mikkelson, an average American consumer, investigating where the "green energy" she is purchasing comes from. She travels to northern Manitoba where she finds environmental devastation and deep divisions in the First Nations communities about further development. Allegations of bribery and government corruption surface. Mikkelson explores the complexity of cultures in collision and the effects of environmental destruction on a way of life. The showing will be followed by a panel discussion with Mikkelson, Jamie E. Lee, co-director and editor, State Senator Scott Dibble and Ken Bradley of Fresh Energy.
7 p.m. $10 suggested donation. 10 Church St. SE, Mpls.
The Ten-Year, Tiny Tim Tribute Memorial Concert
Lee's Liquor Lounge
Herbert Khaury, better known by his stage name Tiny Tim, might not have started his career in Minneapolis (in fact, he's supposed to have begun performing in lesbian bars), but he sure ended it here. In November 1996, while visiting the Minneapolis Woman's Club, he played a medley of his greatest hits on ukulele, finished with his signature number ("Tiptoe through the Tulips," sung in a high, quavering falsetto), then promptly collapsed. His next destination would be the Hennepin County Medical Center, and the next destination after that would be Lakewood Cemetery, where he resides to this day. The pity of it is, had Tiny Tim survived, he certainly would have enjoyed a revival nowadays. Just as there was a great affection for creative oddballs in the '60s, when Tiny Tim first came into the limelight, we are now in a golden age of outsider musicians, such as Wesley Willis and Daniel Johnston—and musicians didn't get much further outside than Herbert Khaury, a massive man in outlandish garb who carried a ukulele in a paper bag and warbled music learned from ancient 78 rpm records. Perhaps we're at the start of a revival now—after all, this Thursday, at Lee's Liquor Lounge, musicians such as "Diamond Jim" Dandy and Johnny Pineapple will be feting Tiny Tim, while audience members get the chance to ogle some of Tiny Tim's actual clothes, instruments and effects. The evening will also include never-before-seen archival footage of Tiny Tim in action.
9 p.m. $10. 101 Glenwood, Mpls. 612-338-3134.
Rodriguez Brothers
Artists Quarter
TC Jazz fans may recall that pianist Robert Rodriguez more than held his own with legend Roy Haynes during Haynes' live CD recording at the Artists' Quarter last January. Now Rodriguez is back, with trumpeter and brother Michael. This is one amazing duo of hot young talent. Robert has played with the likes of Arturo Sandoval and Chick Corea, and Michael's played with giants like Clark Terry, Quincy Jones and the Lincoln Center Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra. The reunion of these two siblings is likely to result in a musical sizzle that will melt the Northland.
Through Dec. 2. 9 p.m. $10. 408 Prince St., St. Paul. 651-292-1359.
Timberwolves vs. Nuggets
Target Center
Nothing lasts forever, but I'm way more torn up inside than I expected to be at the thought that not only may Kevin Garnett soon be leaving for greener pastures, but that he actually needs to. Being a fan of a team is a messy business: I love the T'wolves, and I love KG, and for as long as I've been a fan, those two things have been synonymous. Thus was sportswriter Bill Simmons' article in the Dec. 4 issue of ESPN the Magazine all the more painful for being right: Garnett is missing out on a chance to be recognized as one of the all-time greats if he stays here. I was there when the T'wolves came back in the last eight minutes of the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers last Saturday night, and I was momentarily buoyed by the win, re-energized by the resolve shown by a team notorious for phoning in fourth quarters, but it was ultimately as hollow a victory as a peaceful, romantic dinner in the middle of a failing relationship. I know what has to happen: KG has to leave and find his championship ring with another team (please don't let it be the Lakers) and, in the end, I know it's right. The Timberwolves' playoff run in '04 will forever stand second in my heart only to the Red Sox winning the championship that same year as the defining sports experience of my life (I was born in Massachusetts). While he's still here, you better get over to the Target Center and see him in person. In case you're not up on your T'wolves history, we hate the Denver Nuggets, and this one's bound to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. Kevin: It's been a pleasure and an honor.
7 p.m. $10 - $700. 600 First Ave. N., Mpls. 612-337-DUNK ext. 1 or

Stefan Olson Fundraiser
Big V's
Friends and fans of Stefan Olson, who died suddenly in early October, will want to make this scene to pay homage to our old buddy. Music starts early and goes late both nights, and all proceeds go to Stefan's family. Dec. 1 bill: Kruddler, the Congo Eels, Alicia Corbett, Michael Quinn & the Bourbon Kings and Flink. Dec. 2 bill: Brian Herb & his Outstanding Achievements in the Fields of Excellence, 10w40, The Autumn Leaves, Ken DeVoe, Henry.
9 p.m. Friday, 8 p.m. Saturday. $5 - $10 suggested donation. 1567 University Ave., St. Paul. 651-645-1359.
Doomtree Blowout 2
First Avenue
Being jaded is easy, but, like Spoon once said, "Believing is hard; believing is art." Doomtree believes. They're out there doing it every day, making moves, putting together fat (not phat) rap shows and making just endless amounts of incredible music. Last Sunday I co-hosted Homegrown on Drive 105 when they were guests, and amongst the six of ten who were there (emcees Dessa Darling, P.O.S., Cecil Otter, Mike Mictlan, Sims and producer Lazerbeak), they dropped no fewer than five brand new jams that were every bit as propulsive, desperate, sly and beautiful as anything I've heard this year. The monstrous posse album they've been promising for months is still in the works, but until then, you'll have to comfort yourselves with the sequel to one of last year's best gigs, the first Doomtree Blowout. Forget minutes: That show at the Varsity sold out in about a verse—half a song tops—and left cats shivering on University. If you're dragging your feet, thinking there's no way they can sell out the Ave, don't kid yourself: Just move on over to Fifth Element, the Fetus or
and pick up some tickets because there's no way that this rapstravanganza of hip-hop, art and film isn't packing 'em in. Did I mention that a portion of the proceeds benefit People Serving People, a nonprofit serving children and their families? Performances by the entire Doomtree crew, poppers and breakers, reactive motion graphics, wheatpasting by KHS, new Doomtree merch, cats and dogs living together. Just go, son.
8 p.m. $10/$12. 18+. 701 First Ave. N, Mpls. 612-338-8388.

No Coast Craft-O-Rama
Midtown Global Market
Usually if I'm elbowing my way through a wall-to-wall crowd, I'm clutching a beer and slithering toward live music at the other end of a bar. But at last year's No Coast Craft-O-Rama, it was crafts, not rock bands, that garnered nearly three times the expected crowd and overflowed Columbia Manor for the debut event presented by Crafters Local 612. This year Craft-O-Rama takes place at the Midtown Global Market, and while it's no Black Friday, the event will draw scads of shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind, cutting edge crafts. More than 80 vendors will sell handmade wares ranging from prints and jewelry, to clothing and art (one of my favorite items from last year was a set of crib sheets made from sock monkey fabric). Whether you're shopping for others or stuffing your own stocking, you'll be inspired by this festive and feisty event.
9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Lake St. & Chicago Ave., Mpls.
Regina Marie Williams
Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant
Singer-actor Regina Marie Williams, who vaulted to prominence on the Penumbra Theatre Company stage, is about as awesome as awesome gets. After paying plenty of dues at venues, including Mixed Blood Theatre, Williams got the chance to show her incredible acting chops in "Louie and Ophelia," then turned in a towering performance singing the title role in "Dinah Was," the musical based on the life of the legendary Dinah Washington. Recently Williams performed in "Yellowman" at the Guthrie Theater's Dowling Studio. Now you have the chance to catch her up close and personal for the release of her new CD,
Feel the Spirit!
, which features spirituals, gospels and hymns, at the famed Dakota nightclub. See for yourself why Angela Bassett raved about Regina Marie Williams this summer in Entertainment Weekly.
8 p.m. $20. 1010 Nicollet Ave., Mpls. 612-332-1010.

Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Camp hopes to have diseases on the run!
Join Team Challenge and be part of Challenge, Change and a Cure
It looks just like any other summer camp, complete with counselors, cabins and of course plenty of activities for campers. But there's something different about Camp Oasis.
"It really helps to know that there are this many other kids who have the same issues and the same problems," says a mother of one of the campers.
This is the family's second year dropping son Matthew off at Camp Oasis - a camp specifically for children with Crohn's Disease and Colitis.
"Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are a digestive disease," said Rebecca Lawton with the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, which coordinates the campout. "A lot of people with the disease go to the bathroom frequently. Several times a day, several times to 30 to 40 times per day," said Lawton.
The summer getaway in Waupaca gives more than 85 children from around the Midwest a camping opportunity they may not otherwise get. The camp has grown from 20 campers since its inception in 2000. This speaks greatly to the work CCFA has done to educate and inform, while providing resources and opportunity.
Camp Oasis has just about everything a typical summer camp has. But it needs two doctors, four nurses and roughly 30 counselors in order to meet the children's needs.
"For many of them, they don't feel like they can go to just a standard camp," said Dr. Michael Stephens who takes a break from his job at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to help out at the camp.
Camp Oasis relies on money raised through two of CCFA's largest fundraisers, Take Steps and Team Challenge. Team Challenge is the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's endurance training and fundraising program. Through Team Challenge, you can run or walk a half marathon, while helping to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic and often debilitating digestive diseases that impact 1.4 million Americans.
Each participant in Team Challenge is given a fundraising goal. Fundraising goals differ in range based on the location of the team and the event destination. Each participant has the entire season to fundraise and is asked to reach their goal two weeks prior to their race. In exchange for reaching your goal, you receive many benefits. Team Challenge provides you with fundraising clinics, a personalized fundraising website, fundraising tools, a supportive Team Manager to guide you, and a mentor to help you along the way!
To hear how you can be a part of supporting this wonderful experience, help fund critical research, provide education and support for patients and families, please attend a Team Challenge informational meeting in your area.
Team Challenge WI is headed back to Las Vegas! On December 4th, we will be racing the VEGAS STRIP AT NIGHT!

Orangeville Coach Jay Doyle has been in search of anything good that can give his team confidence for a few years now. The Broncos have struggled mightily, mostly due to their youth and traditionally low numbers. This summer gave Doyle the glimmer of hope he was looking for in the form of 7-on-7 competitions. In four tourneys, the Broncos finished with a combined record of 12-4. "If you haven't won a lot, it's a confidence thing," Doyle pointed out.

Thursday Night Football:
The Carolina Panthers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a contest to determine which team gets called "surprising" for finishing almost as well as the (now 2-4) Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South.
Watch Greg Schiano continue his quest to pass Bobby Petrino as the biggest a**hole head coach in the history of the NFC South.
TAMPA BAY ON OFFENSE: It turns out that third round quarterbacks who start as rookies usually fail, even if it takes a little bit of time to make that happen. This is especially true when said third round quarterback - whether through nearsightedness, poor coaching (short odds), or basic cowardice - refuses to throw more than ten yards downfield despite having two good downfield receivers and no receiver capable of reliably catching a curl. Roundabout Luke Kuechly's fourteenth Defeat of the game, Mike Glennon will probably officially give up on an NFL career.
CAROLINA ON OFFENSE: Cam Newton has completed 35 of his last 43 passes over two games against Wisconsin and Missouri, cupcakes front-loaded on his schedule as an SEC quarterback. Up next for Auburn is one of those Florida schools which are hard to keep straight because one of them is always good, but never all of them at once. Wait, Cam Newton is in the NFL now? But that offense sure doesn't look like a pro offense to me... Fortunately Cam Newton gets to play another poor team this week. Eventually he will face a real NFL defense, but that will have to wait for Week 10 and San Francisco, because the Tampa Bay defense is coached by a guy who made his reputation beating Iowa State in the Pinstripe Bowl. It will be a while before they rise to the level of a Wisconsin or Missouri.
This is the first of three prime time intra-division mismatches this weekend. We also get GB at Minnesota Sunday night and Seattle at STL Monday. Don't be surprised if there are more Cards fans Monday night at Busch Stadium than Rams fans at the Jones Dome, even though the Rams stadium seats about 20K. If it's anything like the Packers or Steelers visiting, half the Dome will be filled by Seahawks fans.
This whole weekend is filled with lopsided match-ups. Prime time for blowouts, but also maybe an upset or two.
I wonder if the scheduler makers intentionally dumped a bunch of games predicted to be lousy on the Sunday of the World Series.
I don't think so. The Sunday Night Pack@Vikings probably looked pretty good to the schedule makers. Same with Monday's Seahawks@Rams as the Rams looked like an up-and-coming team and split last year's series. The London games have traditionally sucked, and it had to be the Jags against somebody. Having them against the SB runner up at least gave them one good team. I don't think anybody envisioned NYG/Phil to be this bad. Detroit/Dallas and NE/Miami are still good. But there are six bye teams this week (Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Indianapolis, San Diego, Tennessee) and next (Arizona, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, New York Giants, San Francisco). There are nine weeks where teams can be scheduled with a bye. Cramming 12 of those teams into two weekends is just bad scheduling.
Plenty of people expected Minn to take a step back this year (granted, a lot of people for the same reasons thought Indy would regress.)
Also, regardless of your predictions about the Brownies (and really, anywhere from 5 to 8 wins is still realistic at this point,) no one expected KC to be as much better as they were.
Might have a better Line if he was still playing in College...
I figure best case scenario for Tampa is fire Sciano mid-season and replace him with someone worse who keep us winless. We bring in a good coach and let him pick his quarterback with the first round pick and Glennon becomes a backup. I like him well enough and he does have the desire to make things happen, but he misses his target as much as Freeman did.
As for who the next coach would be, it'd never happen but I'd love to see Gruden come back and given a chance with the quarterback of his choosing. Then instead of his pre-draft quarterback interviews he could turn it into a reality show where the winner gets to be his first round pick. And as long as we have a GM who blocks Gruden's tendency to spend tons on mediocre veterans and thus give us alternating good/bad seasons, we may have something good going for a long time. Though lets be honest, what Tampa fan wouldn't be happy with alternating good/bad seasons at this point?

Dallas again with Miles Austin as inactive. He's such a talent, but not worth the money if his hamstring holds him out of a good portion of each season.
No one better blame that horrible INT by Brady on the "rookie receivers" or his hand. That was good ol' fashioned execrable decision making.
I've been amazed by how much credit/leeway/etc Brady has been given this year. He's been legitimately terrible.
He's holding the ball way too long, he's innacurate, and hes not even looking at half his receivers. He's just a bad QB right now.
It wasn't a bad decision, Gronk had a step on the DB. It was just a terrible throw.
After running for success on first down, Dallas' second down and short runs have been a failure.
Calvin Johnson muffs a catch which is then picked off by Sean Lee. Don't see Johnson do that very often. Was doubly painful since the Lions were driving and in FG range at the time of the pick.
That INT was all Brandon Carr. He jogged Calvin's elbow just as the ball arrived. Good play by Carr, good luck for Lee.
I don't understand. If you have control and your knee is down, and then you start to lose control, why is it then incomplete?
i"m guessin they are saying he didn't complete the process of the catch, didn't see it though
Another completely BS pass interference call for the Patriots.
I think that the ruling was that by touching the ball before it reached the receiver, the defender interfered with the pass's ability to proceed along its desired trajectory.
Yeah, I don't think a DB is allowed to run into a receiver before the ball gets there, regardless of the opponent. It was a bad throw by Brady, but that's a pretty standard DPI call...
Your sarcasm meter is broken. It was an indefensible call on a play containing nothing that resembled pass interference in the slightest. I've no idea what you're going on about.
Two defenders ran into the WR. It's textbook PI.
THat being said, the ball wasn't really catchable by the receiver because there were 3 defenders between him and it, but thats a judgement call.
Well, somebody's sarcasm meter is broken.
Well, somebody's sarcasm meter is broken.
Again with a miserable 3rd down and short attempt by Dallas. They've had success running, so why not try it with 2 yards instead of whatever ridiculous pass play they had in mind?
And now with 1st and goal at the 4 Dallas is going to show that maybe running in short yardage isn't so easy for them...
I wish networks would put passing stats in context. They just ran a blurb about the fasted QB to 15,000 yards and Stafford was leading the list ahead of guys like Marino and Manning. One suspects that if Stafford were playing in 1983 or 1993 and not 2013, he'd not have done as well. The rule changes to highlight passing have changed the game and turn the extraordinary into the ordinary.
Unconscionable at this late in the season that SF would schedule a creampuff OOC like the Jaguars. Thankfully after this season there's a selection committee that'll hold them responsible for...
...oh. At least maybe soon we'll get to see Chad Henne magically morph into garbage time Henne so the Jaguars can rack up a garbage field goal or two.
Lee picks Stafford again and looks to have a clear field to take it for the Schaub. Stafford chases him down and forces Lee to slow down enough allowing Ogletree to chase him down and stop him at the 4. Cowboys score 2 plays later on a pass to Bryant.
I feel like Lee didn't have to stop, but perhaps he knew his legs were dead and he wasn't going to be able to pull off the foot race
Very bad read by Stafford leads to another Sean Lee INT. Then Dez Bryant makes amazing catch against coverage for TD. This game shaping up like last week against CIN.
Big run by Ridley, followed by a bubble screen where Edelman has to almost dive to come up with a ball thrown by Brady, and immediately runs into a defender for a loss.
I'm pretty sure the ball was actually thrown backwards and was live if Edelman dropped it.
This is the shit that nobody seems to talk about... thats a 3 yard throw and Brady misses his WR by a good yard, and it results in a loss instead of a 5 yard gain.
And of course the next throw is a perfect strike to Gronk downfield. So why the hell are so many passes so far off target, when he seems to be able to hit the hard ones?
I wouldn't say that nobody is talking about it. We've been talking about Brady's accuracy for quite some time. Now if you could only get Phil Simms to notice!
What the heck is with Wes Welker getting his legs eaten by komodo dragons?
And another play where Brady has plenty of times, an open guy, and throws the ball into the ground.
Pats are starting to design plays based on the premise that Brady will underthrow his receivers.
Jump ball to Gronk + 3 defenders? Not a great idea.
Hey - bailed out be flag on defense!
Touchdown Gronk.
Hey - bailed out by a flag on the offense.
The refs, they give and they take.
I'm sure the Pats' O-line gets away with a lot of holding. But that wasn't holding by Solder on the TD pass.
Johnson coughs up the ball on a reception, recovered by the Cowboys. The Lions cap off the turnover with an unnecessary roughness penalty giving the Cowboys possession at the Detroit 35. It's been a turnoverfest for the Lions today.
Brady throws ball behind Amendola. Nantz blames Amendola for not catching it.
That's the most common of the Brady apologies... ball thrown behind receiver, receiver slows down to get a hand on it, and then gets destroyed. Clearly receiver's fault.
The "But he should have caught that one" shit when a receiver is moving left to right and the ball is three yards to the left of him, and he barely gets his hand on it, pisses me off.
No QB in the NFL can consistently throw balls off target like that and still not get any criticizm, but Brady.
The pass (if you are referencing the Amendola "drop") hit him on the back shoulder. It was a bad throw, but it wasn't three yards behind him.
It was 3 yards behind where it should have been, which was in front of the receiver running full speed.
Not to be pedantic, but you said "three yards behind him". Brady hasn't looked good this season, and yesterday wasn't a particularly glorious performance, but the pass was thrown maybe three FEET behind where it was supposed to be thrown.
Dolphins should keep running on this Pats' defense. It seems to work well enough.
Circus interception by the Pats. Teamwork!
Nice job by Brady to step up into the guy Mankins was blocking.
Phil Simms talking about the Miami defense being tired because NE runs so many plays.... At that exact moment, Miami had run 10 more plays than NE. 63-53.
To be fair to Sims, I think the Patriots have run a ton more plays in the 2nd half than they did in the first half.
Hey NE, you look like you're in danger again. Have a free 35 yards and a new set of downs on us...
You don't want to give the other team yards, don't commit stupid penalties.
Look I get it. You like the Patriots so it's a good thing when the officials fix the game in their favor. No need to pretend it isn't happening.
I get it, you don't like the Patriots, so you're not capable of watching a game without thinking there's some sort of conspiracy.
The defender was falling, the offensive lineman was going to fall on the ball, and he swiped at it to make sure that didn't happen. That's a penalty.
I'm sure the referees called that Delay of Game after the Patriots had stopped the Dolphins on 3rd down to help the Patriots.
the guy didnt bat it though, he was trying to pull it towards him. whoever made that call should be fired.
The only way you can "pull it towards you" is if you get your hand on the far side of the ball. The defender was nowhere near getting his hand on the back side of the ball.
It was a terrible call, stop making a fool of yourself.
That's a very clever argument you've made.
What the defender was intending to do is irrelevant. What he physically did was bat the ball downfield, thus it's a penalty. Incompetence is no excuse; it would be like denying there was DPI because "Ref, I slipped over while intending to jump for the INT, but ended up plowing into the receiver, you can't call that a penalty."
The "batting" penalty requires intent. Otherwise it's just a continued fumble. Otherwise those blooper reel fumbles would be a string of offsetting 15 yard penalties and a replay of the down.
I feel like in most of those blooper reel cases the ball bounces off forearms/shoulders/knees/feet, rather than being batted around cleanly, as was the case here (as in, no contact besides the hands). Can't say I've spent a lot of time reviewing fumble blooper reels though.
batting means he intentionally pushed it forward. what he did was push it forward as a result of not being able to grasp it fully. only the former is a penalty according to nfl rules.
I said he tried to pull it towards him. Obviously, he failed.
How did he intend to pull it towards him? He never made any sort of pulling motion.
THe only motion he made was swinging at the near side of the ball, and the only thing possible that can happen there is the ball moving further away. He batted it.
the guy didnt bat it though
Certainly he did. Whether that was his intention or not is, of course, unknowable, but he clearly batted it. It's conceivable that the "bat" occurred unintentionally as he tried to pull it in; it's conceivable that the "bat" occurred intentionally to prevent the Patriot lineman from recovering it. The officials ruled that it was the latter.
Lions opt for a FG on 4th and goal from the 2 when down 6 in the 4th quarter. Cowboys take to kick off to the 30, and Romo connects w/ Williams on a slant who then takes it to the end zone.
Pretty flop by Kris Durham to draw phantom DPI against Scandrick.
One key aspect to any successful Hail Mary pass, as Ryan Tannehill just discovered, is the presence of your own teams' receivers downfield.
Megatron with a good chance to break the single game receiving yards record.
I don't know why the announcers were so convinced this Cowboys-Lions game was absolutely over.
Because it should have been. Just really poor defense by Dallas.
I meant they were talking as if the game was in a kneel-down situation. The Lions winning was highly unlikely, but all you had to do was look at the clock and the timeouts left to know Detroit would get one last shot.
Just really poor defense by Dallas.
You have to give some credit to Detroit. Stafford's 40-yard pass to Durham on the last drive was about as perfect a throw as can be made. And Johnson was superhuman all game long (other than the fumble and deflected pass that got intercepted).
Unreal, Detroit.
I'm sure somehow this is Romo's fault.
Oh don't worry, I'm sure some talking heads on ESPN will find a way to make it his fault.
It's really Garrett's fault. Why wouldn't he just kneel down instead of running, and risk the fumble or penalty? He's not playing against Greg Schiano.
They would still get the ball back if you do that, so you should try and pick up the first down on the ground, I would think. A first down was probably more likely than a penalty.
It will be by Scott Kacsmar's stats. There were still 12 seconds left on the clock for Romo to get a win.
That bastard Romo, letting Detroit score with 12 seconds still on the clock.
Saw a (sincere) comment on one news site: "Imagine if Dallas had grabbed Alex Smith, they'd be undefeated"
The level of disdain for Romo is just mind-boggling.
To be fair if Romo falls on the ball on the 3rd and 10 with 2:30 to go on the clock instead of throwing it away out of bounds the Cowboys could have burned an extra 30 seconds off the clock or forced Detroit to burn a time out.
Even if Stafford didn't break the plain, was he really stopped on forward progress? Because he immediately ran off to the left side into the end zone anyway.
I think Megatron came up one yard short of the record. Missed XP so he can break it??
7 yards short.
Record for a game finished in regulation.
What are the odds that he won't finish #1 in DYAR anyway this week?
Lions come back on an INCREDIBLE catch by Johnson and then a real heads-up play by Stafford trying to leap over the pile instead of spiking it on the 1.
Best I can tell, if Stafford hadn't made it into the end zone, the Lions were screwed. I don't think they'd have been able to get lined up again for a spike at that point.
That said, there's no way this game should have been close. Detroit should have won this game handily, but they kept handing Dallas the ball. Apparently it's only the 2nd time a team has won with a -4 turnover ratio.
Buffalo and Baltimore, between 1961 and 1970, won three apiece with margins of at least -5.
Then there were these.
Color me misinformed, then. Maybe it was just post-merger or something.
As a chuckle (being someone only interested in the Den/Wash game for academic purposes), Peyton Manning just got called for holding. It was declined, but still.
That was one very smart play by Stafford. I think he had the entire Dallas D fooled.
I'm hyperventilating and tachycardic right now, so I can't put together a coherent thought right now, but I just glanced at River's McCown game capsule:
"don't look for a monster day from Megatron."
I'm not pointing that out to be a jerk (I myself suck at fantasy football), but only because I found amusing/ironic.
Okay, now I think I'm going to go outside and do some Tai Chi to calm myself down.
I wonder how much of that is because of 'highlight play' blindness. Everyone who doesn't actually watch Detroit thinks Calvin is only about jump balls. Yes, he does that a fair amount, but he is also deadly on slants. He is capable of turning any dinky 8-yd slant into a 70-yd gain.
Rivers doesn't write the Three Cone Drill game previews -- this week, they were written by Ben Jones.
Duke Ihenacho limps to the locker room after a nasty knee twist.
The Broncos D can't get off the field, they are in the face of Griffen but always seem to be a step late.
And when the d finally stop the Redskins in the red zone (on a dropped pass by Santana Moss, they are 12 in the huddle on the FG attempt - results in first down. Next play: TD, Hankerson. 95 yards. Man the Broncos are terrible.
Another lost fumble for the Broncos. Good thing they benched Hillman.
Looks like the Broncos have been exposed/figured out
Errrrrrrrr maybe not so much?
Yes, teams have totally figured out the secret to holding the Broncos to 45 points.
Yeah, about that.
Harry Douglas with another outstanding trip to cost the Falcons a bunch of yards
Why does Matt Ryan always seem to have complete meltdown games against Arizona? Steven Jackson running for one fifth of a yard per carry isn't taking any pressure off of him. Gawd this is ugly.
Miller with the stripsack. Derek Wolfe with the recovery. He's back y'all.
Ok so game all but over i Denver. The last couple of games the offense have looked somewhat vulnerable, but they always end up putting around 40 on the board - thats really hard to beat.
I'm so looking forward to those Chiefs games. Those could be the best games of the year in terms of quality of the teams involved - and possibly a AFC championship preview. The Chiefs have a very good chance - a dominant defense to handle the recievers and take advantage of the Broncos' backup tackles - may hold the Broncos to under 30, and even Alex Smith can easily put up 30 on these guys - especially if they avoid having to play catch-up.
Another INT - goodnight guys.
Alex Smith and the Chiefs haven't put up 30 on anyone. Why do you think they'll do it "easily"?
I thought Denver's defense played really well today. Following that long redskin drive the required a lot of good throws by Griffin under pressure it didn't surprise me to see Denver appear better in the second half.
Okay... that was what, 5 INTs in the last 6 minutes?
I really hate the Viking D secondary scheme. Their cover-2 has the biggest, most consistent seams for the slot/TE I ever see.
Dang, this has been a fast first half.
I just got an urgent request from a team office for advice. Here it is
you are at 3d and 5, at midfield, tie game. Your QB is on fire with more than 80% completion rate, more than 10 yards per attempt, no mistakes, 2 touchdowns.
Your halfback has 31 yards on 14 caries, with 17 yards coming from 1 carry. What play do you call?
run over left tackle to set up the passing game.
run over right tackle; they are not expecting that.
end around.
fake quick punt.
Please vote soon as poaaivle
That Phantom Pass Interference call completely handed MINN an undeserved TD
Probably. But I'm not sure that early PI against Minnesota on the Packers first drive was PI either.
Other than Megatron and Fitzgerald, is there a better WR in the NFC than Jordy Nelson? And I'm not sure if Fitzgerald is better.
As a Pitt Grad I love Larry Fitz, but he is no longer what he was. His routes are sloppier and his talent has deteriorated as of late. He is still in the Brandon Marshall class, but can't be amazing with terrible QB play anymore.
But yes, AJ Green is a beast.
AJ is why I limited the comparison to NFC.
Thats goofy, like limiting QB play to the NFC when Brady and Manning were #1/2 in the NFL in 2004-10.
It's not goofy. It's limiting the discussion to what I know. I don't follow the AFC as closely. (Packers fan and live in St Louis.) Therefore, I limited the discussion. I knew AJ was really good having seen him play against the Packers and having him in a FFL. That is all.
AJ is why I limited the comparison to NFC.
Manning or Brees (or C. Johnson) will win the MVP-- but the best QB in the NFL is playing tonight. What he is doing with a depleted roster is something-- what Michaels and Collinsworth fail to mention are all the check-offs and audibles he is now making at the line of scrimmage-- more times than not switching to a running play or changing the direction of a running play. And he's awful good at it.
I stayed away from the NFL all day today running some new wires through my basement. Looks like I missed some excitement.
Finally finished up and turned on the tv in time to catch the 4th quarter of Packers/Vikings. Ho-hum.
FYI, pet rabbits think ethernet cables are delicious.
That DPI on 4th and 4 may just turn this game around! Go Vikes!
I have a number of questions relating to the play on which Duke Ihenacho was injured in the Denver/Washington game. First, watching at the stadium, it looked like Ihenacho got the ball off the deflection before it hit the ground. Granted, I'm not an objective viewer, so it might have been a clear incomplete pass, but it certainly looked like it was worth a review, given that it was in the last two minutes of the first half. Did anyone have a clear look at that play? Any links to video would be greatly appreciated.
Second, if it had gone to a booth review, would the Broncos have been charged a timeout for an injured player in the final two minutes, or would the procedural play stoppage for the booth review have negated that?
Third, it appears that a timeout for an injured player in the last two minutes is not treated at all the same as a called timeout? The Broncos called their final timeout immediately following the placement of the ball after the injury timeout and were not assessed a 5 yard penalty for calling consecutive timeouts. I guess that's less of a question than an observation of a strange quirk in the rules.
This is barely a question at all, but more a gripe about the behavior of Bronco fans today. Washington had a large number of players go down with injuries today and starting around the third quarter, fans in the stands started booing almost every time it happened... I guess on the premise that it was a deliberate stalling tactic or something. Is this sort of classless behavior seen anywhere else in the league, or was this beyond the pale even for football fans? It felt really shitty to hear people who have self-selected into a group that I have also self-selected into acting like that.
They showed the replay on TV, the ball definitely hit the ground.
The booing when players go down has been starting to happen in a few places where the home team is running a hurry up offenses. I've heard it in two or three other places. I agree it is awful, on the other hand some players have either pretty much admitted they have faked 'injuries' in the past to slow down offenses or we've seen multiple players suddenly go to the ground appearing to be hurt. The League actually sent a memo out about faking injuries earlier this year so faking is at least perceived to be an issue by the league. Unfortunately it is turning into a little bit of a reaping what was sowed type of situation.
Nobody watching on Monday night? Well, I switched over after the Sox won.
Rams might just win this one if they can score a TD.
If my aunt had a penis, she might be my uncle.
She could probably also punch in 1st and goal from the 4.
You know, I really can't argue with Tirico there. 4th and goal from the 1-and-a-half, having gashed Seattle's defense for nearly two hundred yards on the ground, with a backup quarterback in whom St. Louis had so much confidence that they tried to sign a 44-year-old guy who'd been out of football for three years during the off week...and they choose to pass.
Possibly Stacy being out with injury played into that decision, but I can't help but think empty-the-backfield was not the best strategy. Maybe put a back in there and do play action, or have Clemens bootleg (or a QB draw if he can run), but...I just do not see that play call as being their best option in an all-or-nothing scenario..
Passing is okay. Going empty backfield twice? Bad idea.

The Glass House
When you have a bad story from the get-go, there's a simple way to solve the problem of the characters' unforgiving march through utterly obvious situations: You make them young or you make them retarded.
In this case, director Daniel Sackheim has apparently made his main character both: Ruby Baker (Leelee Sobieski) is only sixteen and exhibits barely enough sense to function. Of course, Leelee is actually nineteen, which means I spent much of the movie noticing how her acting ability was not even coming close to bridging the age difference. After her parents are killed in a car accident, she and her brother, Rhett (Trevor Morgan), move in with Terry (Stellan Skarsgard) and Erin (Diane Lane) Glass. The Glasses are given custody in the Baker's will.
The reason Ruby has to be young and naive is because we figure out right away that something isn't right. First of all, the Baker's attorney (Bruce Dern) gets on the phone right after he meets with Ruby. The next thing she knows, Terry and Erin are confronting her about all the things she told the lawyer. Yet Ruby doesn't make the connection that the lawyer passed on the information. Who else could have done it? However, the Glasses have a cool house that her brother really likes, so Ruby doesn't voice her misgivings. Even when Terry catches her swimming in the pool and stares at her like a starving man on a desert island who's just seen two Big Macs skitter across the sand yelling "eat me, eat me," she doesn't say much.
(WARNING: SPOILER) Naturally, it turns out that the Glasses are involved in the murder of Ruby's parents, which raises all sorts of questions with no sensible answers. Erin is a doctor who's been stealing prescription drugs from her job, and is so strung out it's hard to believe somebody at the hospital hasn't noticed the groceries she keeps in the bags under her eyes. The car the Bakers die in was loaned to them by Terry. Did the police not check that out? Did they not then find that Terry was in debt up to his eyeballs? It's also not clear how Terry expects to get Ruby's and Rhett's inheritance. Does he think he's just going to spend it all and nobody will notice? Not noticing the obvious is big theme with "The Glass House." Apparently, Sackheim hoped nobody would notice all the huge holes in the plot.

Breakfast Cake
I'm not gonna lie, I love cake — especially cake that so easily disguises itself as breakfast.
Yep, breakfast cake holds a special place in my heart!
With this 'real food' coffee cake, you can enjoy the perks of a morning slice without the guilt!
Better For Your Body
If you're looking for something to pair with your morning brew, this coffee cake is perfect — not overly sweet, but full of flavor — without being full of all that other stuff found in 'over the counter' coffee cakes.
Made with a blend of whole food ingredients, this little beauty is sure to brighten your morning!
I love that this recipe has all the makings for a nutritionally superb breakfast, as well as all the flavor of yummy morning treat.
Just picture yourself sitting with your Gingerbread Latte, fuzzy slippers and a slice of this little piece of heaven…
Sounds like my kind of morning.
Or evening…
Or 2:00 am when my little one wakes up for some snuggles and I CANNOT GET BACK TO SLEEP FOR THE LIFE OF ME {too much with all the caps??} 😉
You get it, it's delicious…
…Any time.
Recipe loosely adapted from PaleOMG
- 1 apple, diced (Add a few squirts of lemon to bring out apple flavor)
- 1 cup almond meal
- 3 Tbsp. coconut flour (sifted)
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Grade B Maple Syrup
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- Generous Pinch of Salt
- 2 Tbsp coconut milk (to be added to batter after it settles)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. cold butter
- Pecans (optional)
- 1/2 C Coconut Cream
- 1/4 C melted coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 Tsp Lemon Juice (fresh)
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease 7" round cake tin
- Combine almond meal, sifted coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil. Combine wet and dry ingredients, making sure there are no clumps.
- Stir in the apples and let sit for 2-3 minutes, once your batter has thickened, stir in your 2 Tbsp of coconut milk, 1 at a time until your mixture thins slightly.
- Pour into greased cake pan and set aside.
- Combine all streusel ingredients (except pecans) in a small bowl, cutting in cold butter with your fingers until it's about pea size.
- Distribute streusel topping over cake, adding nuts to taste.
- Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven and loosely tent with foil. Continue baking for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- While cake is in the oven combine ingredients for icing, mixing well, then set in the refrigerator for the duration of the baking. Pipe icing on to *completely cooled* cake and enjoy!
- Make sure to stir icing before piping it onto cake -- if it's too thick, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

if you feel better eating zero carb, do so until you feel not-so-better. i do not believe you can be allergic to an entire macronutrient class though.
The more I experiment with foods & my bodys corresponding reaction, I'm thinking that I may just be allergic, or at least reacting negatively to most carbs.. I'm lean, 5'10", around 162lbs, & 8% bf.. I look great, but feel like total shit when I eat starchy meals.. Sugar simply ruins me it seems..
When I eat: sweet potatoes, white rice (or brown), & most fruits I body gets really hot, skin is hot to touch, heart beats fast, fruit makes me pee non-stop, horribly bloated, gassy, ready to nap immediately, & sometimes the food just runs right through me.. primal "starchy" carbs you guys are eating trigger these inflammatory responses in me..
Almost appears I may have "IBS".. I can feel the acidic burning sensation in my gut when I eat a "carby" meal (I eat clean tubers, no grains.. I'm a pretty discipline eater) & its pretty apparant I'm not handling sugar well at all..
When I do eat these carb meals though, I seem to be super lean the next day.. I know this is the goal of most people, but for me, its like the furnace is burning to hard.. Doesn't seem & feel healthy.. Almost like I'm getting too lean..
Thinking this could be IBS or leaky gut? or just carb sensitive?
I feel fantastic on a high fat diet (meats, eggs, full fat yogurt, olive oil, avocado), obviously moderate to high protein.. Since almost completely eliminating carbs: (Zero to low low carbs.. less than 50 a day only coming form veggies) my energy is sustainable, my skin looks great, I sleep better, actually sustain my weight (& gain a little), heart beats quietly, stool seems perfect, & digestive system seems quiet & peaceful..
Anyone experience the same thing? I've always had a pretty fast metabolism "ectomorphic".. Currently very lean & look great, but started adding some carbs back in to gain 5lbs or so.. However, the carbs are crushing my digestive system..
Just wondering if I stay completely away from carbs (with exception to veggies) if I'm going to become even more insulin-resistant & my body will react more extreme with the smallest traces of sugar..
if you feel better eating zero carb, do so until you feel not-so-better. i do not believe you can be allergic to an entire macronutrient class though.
You remind me somewhat of Lex Rooker's story.
Lex Rooker, USA
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I'm not sure about "allergic" but I agree with you as I feel like crap if I eat rice or sweet potatoes as well. If I eat fruit I end up with heartburn or I get bloated so I avoid most fruit. I decided that I would listen to my body and for now, I avoid them.
to note as well - 24-hr. fasts, twice per week, have done wonders for my digestive issues..
I keep reading about carbs & their effects on the body & although they are somewhat of a preferred source of energy & glucose is productive to an athlete, carbs point to many gut issues & inflammatory responses.. Seems we're all trying to find a way to work the carbs into our diets, & the right amounts, etc while still remaining "low carb".. My system may be better of completely without carbs, exception being fibrous veggies.. period
Here's some of the stuff I'm reading.. ----> Scientific Proof Carbohydrates Cause Disease 1/3/04 (2004 publish)
Dr. Mercola pointing to all side effects of carb consumption on the body.. Promoting high fat, very very low carb as "healing" solution
Excerpt relating to Cortisol & Carb relationship:
"An excessive ratio of carbohydrates to protein results in excess secretion of insulin, which often leads to intervals of hypoglycemia. The body, in an attempt to normalize blood sugar, initiates a counter-regulatory process during which the adrenals are stimulated to secrete increased levels of cortisol and adrenalin. It follows that an excessive intake of carbohydrates often leads to excessive secretion of cortisol."
Excess cortisol:
•Diminishes cellular utilization of glucose
•Increases blood sugar levels
•Decreases protein synthesis
•Increases protein breakdown that can lead to muscle wasting
•Causes demineralization of bone that can lead to osteoporosis
•Interferes with skin regeneration and healing
•Causes shrinking of lymphatic tissue
•Diminishes lymphocyte numbers and functions
•Lessens SIgA (secretory antibody productions). This immune system suppression may lead to increased susceptibility to allergies, infections, and degenerative disease
-High-cortisol levels caused by excessive carbohydrate consumption and high-insulin levels cause the body to extract high-tensile strength collagen protein fibers from bones, remove the mineral matrix by demineralization and weaken connective tissue at the joints. The protein loss is accelerated by a low-protein diet, and the bone minerals are lost in the urine. One is literally peeing his/her bones away. The result is a rapid and shocking diagnosis of osteoporosis and degenerative disk disease where the spine can lose as much as one inch (25 mm) in height in as little as one year. Bones fracture more easily, and the dreaded hip fracture is much more likely to occur.
Women are told to drink lots of milk and eat plenty of yogurt to get additional calcium with the promise it will prevent bone loss, but the advice is based on faulty logic. The additional lactose in the milk and yogurt plus the additional sugar and fruit added to yogurt only serve to increase the dietary carbohydrate load. The net result is harmful to the bones as many are discovering.
All of this can be prevented by eating a high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet.
It is a pretty good read..

I was always a very carby eater until after I gave birth and I started having problems with my bowels. I found out I have celiac disease and from then on I've been feeling horrible if I eat too much sugar (grains are the worst!) beans, tubers, everything. A dietician told me that I was very hypoglycemic and that I needed to eat a higher protein/carb ratio and add more fats. It sounds as if you have a similar problem. Make sure you keep carbs really low and get checked out for GI problems like leaky gut and celiac. I'm also very thin 105lbs at 5'5". 11% body fat). I find that I need to keep my carbs at 15 grams per meal ( including veggies and nuts) so I don't feel a crash (brain fog, disorientation, etc.)
Wait till ChocoTaco gets here. He's gonna lay down the law on your no carb eating ass. lol. Don't give him your address, he'll probably come to your house, tie you up, and force feed you potatoes.

Friday 10.29.2010 @ 7:00pm | Pioneer Village | Community
Venue: Pioneer Village
Haunted History
Friday, October 29th
Saturday, October 30th
$10/person (8 yrs. - adult)
Imagine yourself on a dark night in late October. The moon won't be up for hours. Your Ghoul Guide glides up to your group asking, "Are you prepared?" You are about to embark on your journey "into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination," a journey into myths and legends of the American Southwest.
Your Haunted History adventure at Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum is about to begin. From the safe haven of the Gazebo on Pioneer's Village Green, you and your companions are led to one of eight buildings or houses around the perimeter of the Green. Stay with your guide! The only illumination is candlelight!
For the next 90 minutes you will be entering a world usually reserved only for denizens of the night, a Pioneer Twilight Zone. Many of the buildings at Pioneer have been moved from their original homes, from locations in remote areas of Arizona. Many have seen horrible deeds performed and, in some of them, the ghosts of the past still reside. You are about to cross the threshold into this other dimension as your Ghoul Guide escorts you to each of Pioneer's Haunted Historians, who will relate legendary stories of Southwest disasters, murders, hangings, and lost loves.
You might meet Headless Charlie, and learn why he will never find his head. Red Ghost still haunts the roads around Phoenix; should we be worried? Have you been close to the Cave of Death? What has happened to those who have strayed too near? Could those lights dancing in the fire be two tormented souls grappling forever in angry revenge? Who knows what tale will be inspired by the imagination of your Haunted Historian?
Our pledge is to scare you with accounts of the lives of those who lived here before us; those who have refused, or have been unable, to "pass over." No one will jump out at you with hockey masks or chainsaws. We deal only in tales of terror and heartache. Nothing more will be needed. As the hair rises on the back of your neck, as your spine begins to tingle, and as you experience a whisper of air against your cheek, you will understand. Life for our ancestors was tough, and only the strong, or the lucky, survived.
Cross over to that other dimension at the Pioneer Living History Museum, just north of Carefree Highway, off I-17. The event is the first Haunted History and will take place on October 29th and 30th. The cost is $10/person (8 yrs. - adult). Tickets are limited and presold. Call now… while there is still time! Master Card and Visa are accepted. Please call 623.465.1052 to make your reservations early.

Unless you have been without Internet for the last few months, you already know that Google has launched their own social network, Google Plus. While definitely not as "social" as Facebook (and less fun at that), it's definitely something worth taking a look at. Now, granted, most of your friends probably aren't a part of Google+ yet so you won't be able to check up on that ex-girlfriend/boyfriend that you dated in college or "poke" your best friend. That said, in the interest of staying educated about the latest social offerings, take some time and dive in. There are already a number of good resources out there to get started using Google Plus. Here are a few good posts on how to get acquainted:
Chris Brogan was one of the first to score an invite to Google+ and here he takes you through setting yourself up on the service. Pay attention to his video about privacy settings. It's not nearly as comprehensive as Facebook's settings but it's worth tweaking. Getting Started with Google Plus.
Kristi Hines takes you through the step-by-step process of setting up your profile, adding people to circles and messing around with those all-important settings. How to Get Started With Google+, Your Complete Guide.
Mari Smith takes you through the implications of another social network and highlights some of the cool features of Google+. What's So Exciting About Google+ – An Overview.
One of the coolest features of Google Plus is Hangouts – the ability to talk with multiple people over video. The Next Web shows you the benefits of using Google Hangouts for business and presentations. Google Announces Big Changes for Google Hangouts.
You can't be too careful when it comes to privacy these days. What you post on the Internet lives on the Internet. That's why Damon Morda takes us through Five Steps to Configuring Privacy on Google Plus (+).
Once you're set up and ready to go, Circle me up. I look forward to connecting!

removeStep | stepToRemove | stepToRemove := self list selection. stepToRemove isNil ifFalse: [stepToRemove isExecutable ifTrue: [self list remove: stepToRemove. steps remove: stepToRemove]]Let's face it, it's ugly. A better solution is to refactor using SmalltalkBestPracticePatterns GuardClause, TypeSugestingParameterName?, QueryMethod and IntentionRevealingMethod?:
removeStep self isNoStepSelected ifTrue: [^self]. self removeStep: self selectedStep removeStep: aStep aStep isNotExecutable ifTrue: [^self]. self list remove: aStep. steps remove: aStep isNoStepSelected ^self selectedStep isNil selectedStep ^self list selectionThe result is better expression of intention and far simpler. The second method might even come in handy again, although that wasn't the point of the change. Further, we now see that removeStep should really be named removeSelectedStep (as per SmalltalkBestPracticePatterns IntentionRevealingSelector). A good XPer, noting this, would grab all the senders and rename the method.
startLoading | loadProcess loadStatusScreen | loadStatusScreen := StatusScreen? new. loadProcess := [[LoadProcess? new] valueNowOrOnUnwindDo: [loadStatusScreen exit]] forkAt: Processor userBackgroundPriority. loadStatusScreen process: loadProcessYou might be tempted to format it:
startLoading | loadProcess loadStatusScreen | loadStatusScreen := StatusScreen? new. loadProcess := [ [ LoadProcess? new ] valueNowOrOnUnwindDo: [ loadStatusScreen exit ] ] forkAt: Processor userBackgroundPriority. loadStatusScreen process: loadProcessOr some other way to make where the various blocks begin and end obvious, but a better way is to break it down into smaller pieces using ComposedMethod and IntentionRevealingMethod? (from Kent's book):
startLoading self startLoadingShowStatus: StatusScreen? new startLoadingShowStatus: aStatusScreen aStatusScreen process: (self startLoadProcess: aStatusScreen) startLoadProcess: aStatusScreen ^(self loadBlock: aStatusScreen) forkAt: self loadPriority loadPriority ^Processor userBackGroundPriority loadBlock: aStatusScreen ^[[LoadProcess? new] valueNowOrOnUnwindDo: [aStatusScreen exit]]We no longer need formating to show us how this method actually works. Our methods each concentrate on doing only one thing.
HRESULT hr = SomeFunctionName?( 0, // Reserved, Parameter must be 0 0, // Don't do some odd thing THIS|THAT|ANOTHER, // Set some special flags BSTR(0), // Reserved, must be as given &something); // Object to be filled in with a valueThis idiom is very common in all MS code, and frankly the version I give is very small. There are often ten or more parameters... another bad smell.

Ansonsten ist Blenheim ganz huebsch und unser Hostel lag total traumhaft direkt an einem Fluss. Ich hab auch eine Brieffreundin die dort wohnt, mit der haben wir uns getroffen, das war schoen. Wir werden wahrscheinlich auf dem Rueckweg von Kaikoura, wo wir seit gestern sind, nochmal dort halt machen weil es uns so gut gefallen hat.
Sorry, I'm a little lazy translating at the moment... We are in the largest Wine Region of NZ now and were hoping to find work here on the vineyards, but once again we experienced a big disappointment. We got an email that we can work for a certain company, but when we got to their office the people seemed to know nothing about the email and so we didn't get the job... But the owners of our hostel told us that the company has a very bad reputation, so maybe it's better that we are not working for them.
Beside that, Blenheim is a nice calm city, we stayed at a very beautiful hostel near at the edge of a river and we also went for a coffee with my pen pal Monique who is living there at her parents house at the moment. It was a really nice meeting.
