And I think this weekend will be the last time I update cuz, horrors, my yearly examinations start in like 2 weeks and I have to study, duh.
Being One Of The 'In' Crowd
Promptly at 3, Mimi and Sora took off to the mall and went into a dress shop.
"Oh, I think this will look good on you!" Mimi said, holding up a silk black and lace dress.
"It's a bit... showy, isn't it?" Sora said, skeptically.
"You seriously aren't even thinking of getting that dress are you!?" A voice behind Sora said.
"Yeah, seriously, that dress is too good for someone like her" Another voice said.
Sora whirled around to face 5 cheerleaders.
"Excuse me guys, but I think Sora will look wonderful in it" Mimi said with a frown.
"Oh, Mimi, we didn't realize you were there" The first voice exclaimed, the captain of the senior cheerleaders, Eiko Sato.
"Yeah, like, so, do you want to go to the food court with us?" Asked the second voice, Gina Kitao.
"Ok, we will, just let us pay for the dress and we'll meet you guys there, ok?" Mimi said.
"Sure, see you there" Eiko said, and walked past Sora, giving her a slight glare so Mimi wouldn't notice.
As the cheerleaders all went, Sora turned to Mimi and said,
"I don't think they like me"
"Of course they do, Sora, stop being so paranoid, now let's buy this dress" Mimi exclaimed as she walked up to the counter.
After they paid, the duo headed for the food court. They went up to the tables that the cheerleaders and company occupied.
Sora trailed behind Mimi but she glanced at everybody. She noticed Matt was there, with a cheerleader in his lap.
"Hey Mimi! and um..." Said Eiko.
"Sora" Mimi supplied, kinda getting pissed off at Matt who was just doing nothing and not telling the other guys this was Sora.
"Yeah, Sora" Eiko said, fakely.
"So anyway, Matt, who are you going to the dance with?" Mimi asked.
"He's going stag" Eiko said for Matt.
"Oh, ok" Mimi said, secretly glad that he was so he could be Sora's.
"So... Matt, aren't you gonna say thanks to Sora again for picking up your locker contents?" Eiko asked, as the cheer squad snickered and Sora turned red.
"So... Matt, aren't you gonna say thanks to all these girls for filling up your locker in the first place"Mimi said, glaring at them as they turned red, "C'mon Sora, let's go, I still have to find a dress"
So Sora and Mimi walked away from the others, where the guys were laughing at the girls.
"Wow, Sora, you look stunning" Tai said as he opened the passenger door of his car.
"Thanks" Sora said with a slight blush, "You look handsome yourself"
"You think so?" Tai asked modestly.
"Of course, there has to be a reason as to why girls like you so much"
Tai chuckled and walked over to the driver's side. He got in and drove out of the driveway, and headed to Odaiba High.
Once they got there, Tai parked the car and opened the passenger side for Sora. They walked up to the gym doors where they could hear music blaring out loud. Tai opened the door and as soon as he stepped in with Sora, hand in hand, girls were glaring at at her.
That's understandable, thought Sora, after all, Tai is hot but they should know Tai's just my best friend not my boyfriend, he's only goofing holding my hand.
Tai was wearing tight black jeans and a white polo shirt with the top button undone. Casual, but hot.
"So Sora, how bout a dance?" Asked Tai.
"Sure" Sora answered, looking around the room searching for Mimi... or Matt.
"C'mon" Tai said as he led her onto the dance floor.
The music was a slow one, so Sora wrapped her arms around Tai's neck as he wrapped his arms arond her waist. They danced silently until Tai broke the silence, saying,
"Sora, I'm glad you accepted my invitation to this dance"
Sora giggled, Tai was acting so... well, not Tai.
"Hey, it's what a friend would do" Sora said.
The sparkle in Tai's eyes shimmered down a bit as Sora said this, but he smiled anyway. Sora smiled in return then looked passed him to the door. She was hoping Matt would come soon, and as if she had wished it, Matt walked in, followed by some jocks and cheerleaders. He looked down right gorgeous, Sora thought, he was wearing tan white pants, a red collar shirt with the top two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to above his elbows. Over that, he had on a blue vest that was open. (A/N I've got a pic of Quatre from GW wearing this and he looks HOT ::drool:: and since he's a blonde... ^^)
All the girls were in bliss seeing Matt, after all, he was the hottest guy in school, and everyone watched as Matt strolled over to the punch table with his 'gang' following him. All the other girls in the gym that were considered good enough to talk and be seen with Matt left from where they were in the gym, including from the dance floor, leaving their dance partners, and headed towards the school hunk. The other girls that weren't considered 'cool' were left to just stare at the stud muffin.
God, Matt is soooooooooooo so hot, he makes my mouth water, he looks so good...
"I see Matt attracted everyone's attention, including you" Tai said, breaking into Sora's thoughts, and walking away from her.
"Huh?" Sora said as Tai walked off. Why'd he go?
"Sora, go talk to Matt" Mimi said, walking up to Sora.
"But Tai just walked off, I gotta go after him" Sora said because she was his best friend, adn also using it as an excuse cause she was afraid to go talk to Matt.
"He did? What'd you do?"
"I don't know, he said something and then he walked off"
"... Are you sure Tai knows this isn't a date?"
"Of course he knows! Why would he think it's a date!?"
"Because he asked you to this dance, as in, a date"
"That's ridiculous! Tai doesn't like me and well, I don't like him that way"
"Yeah well, it seems like he thought you did because you agreed to go with him"
"Yeah, but as a friend"
"Seems he didn't take it that way"
"Then I'll just have to let him down gently"
"But he'll be devastated!"
"Then what am I supposed to do?"
"... I dunno! Ok, I'll go talk to him and you go talk to Matt"
"Go talk to Matt, Sora"
"I can't even reach him with all those girls around him!" Sora pointed out.
"Hmmm... I'll get Matt outside for you, wait for him out there ok?"
"But you're supposed to go after Tai"
"Yeah, I will, after I get Matt outside"
"Ok" Sora mumbled as he trudged on to the doors, opposite of where Tai had left.
As Sora disappeared, Mimi walked to the crowd surrounding Matt.
"Excuse me" Mimi said as the other girls parted to let Mimi through.
When she reached Matt, she saw a couple of girls hanging off his arm. Mimi cleared her throat. Matt looked at her, quirking his eyebrow. Adorable, Mimi thought.
"I want you to come outside with me, Matt, and I won't take no for an answer" Mimi said as the jocks began to whistle.
"Ok, sure" Matt replied.
The girls stared enviously at Mimi but what could they do? This was Mimi Tachikawa after all, the most popular junior girl.
Mimi led Matt outside, with all eyes watching until the door shut.
"So?" Matt asked, once they were alone.
Mimi looked around, not answering.
"Uh, Mimi?" Matt asked.
"Sora?" Mimi called out.
"Sora?" Matt asked, puzzled.
"I'm here" Sora said timidly, coming round the corner.
"So you didn't run off, that's good" Mimi said as Sora blushed.
"... So?" Matt asked again.
"Oh, I'm meant to meet someone now so toodle doo" Mimi said, rushing off around the corner Sora had just appeared from.
"So... Sora, how long its been since we last talked?" Matt asked, breaking the silence.
"Uh... today in school" Sora couldn't help saying.
Matt grinned at that, which surprised Sora, but she couldn't help grinning back at him.
"So, why did Mimi drag me out here? Did she want to speak to me or did you?" Matt asked.
"... I wanted to speak with you" Sora said quietly.
"What about?"
"Well, you see-"
"Matt, oh Yamato!" A voice said suddenly.
As Eiko, Gina, and some other cheerleaders came into view, Sora saw Matt's face lit up instantly, not that it was down talking with her.
"Hey, you ladies sure look good in the moonlight" Matt said as they giggled.
"Don't we always look good?" Eiko asked with a giggle.
"Of course" Matt replied with a dashing smile.
Since when did they start calling him Yamato? Sora wondered.
"So Mimi's gone?" Gina asked.
"Yeah, I'm talking with Sora here" Matt said.
"Oh, yeah, Sora" Gina said airily, "C'mon Matt, the man of the ball should be inside"
"Yeah" Eiko said, latching onto Matt's arm.
"Sora?" Matt said.
"I'll stay out here for the moment" Sora replied.
"Oh, ok" Matt said as Eiko led him inside.
Once Matt and Eiko were inside, Gina and the other cheerleaders turned around to face Sora.
"So" Gina said.
"So?" Sora replied.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"You can't be seen with Yamato, that's not how it's run"
"Why? Cause I'm not one of you?"
"Yes, exactly"
"Well bet on me being one of you soon" Sora said, feeling confident all of a sudden that she was going to a cheerleader. This little 'meeting' tonight had shown her how much she really wanted Matt and how much she didn't want any of these girls to have him.
"Come again?"
"I'm trying out for your squad"
The other girls started laughing.
"You? One of us!? That's ridiculous!"
"I'll show you how ridiculous it is when I make it" Sora said angrily, storming off inside the gym. She had a new determination to win Matt over now. Definitely.
"Tai?" Mimi asked once she reached the other side outside the gym, the carpark.
"Tai?" Mimi called again.
She started walking around the lot until she saw a figure on a hood of a car. She walked towards the person, and saw Tai staring up at the stars.
"Tai... are you, are you ok?" Mimi asked.
Tai didn't look at her, just continued looking at the stars and replied, "Yeah, sure"
"Sora... she's not important anymore, she doesn't want me, correction, she never wanted me, I was just too blind to see"
"Tai, Sora was, is, the wrong girl for you, but there are tons of girls out there who would love to be with you"
"Yeah maybe, but they're not Sora"
"Of course they're not Sora, there is only one Sora, but there is always another girl, don't you believe everyone has a soulmate?"
"Sora's my soulmate, but she obviously doesn't like fate, cause she's ditching me"
"Tai, Sora is not your soulmate, you guys are best friends nothing more, sorry to sound harsh but live with it. You'll know your soulmate when you see her"
Tai was silent. Suddenly, a bright ball of kight shot across the sky, it was a shooting star.
"Make a wish" Mimi whispered.
More silence.
Then Tai spoke up, still looking at the sky, "You know what I wished for?"
"No, what?" Mimi asked.
"That I would see my soulmate" Tai whispered as he turned his head down and looked Mimi in the eyes.
Mimi shivered at Tai's intense gaze, and before she knew what was happening, Tai had kissed her sofly on the lips and then pulled back. Mimi looked at him, shocked but then smiled. Tai smiled in return and brought his head back down towards Mimi where they kissed, yet again.
Wasn't that corny? Hehehe. Well, anywayz, plz R & R!!! ^^

Did You Know?
We've used "effusive" in English to describe excessive outpourings since the 17th century. In the 1800s, geologists adopted the specific sense related to flowing lava-or to hardened rock formed from flowing lava. "Effusive" can be traced to the Latin verb effundere ("to pour out"), which itself comes from "fundere" ("to pour") plus a modification of the prefix ex- ("out"). Our verb "effuse" has the same Latin ancestors. A person effuses when he or she speaks effusively. Liquids can effuse as well (as in "water effusing from a pipe").

14 Things You Didn't Know About Alton Brownby FN Dish Editor in Food Network Chef, Shows, January 14th, 2014
Most fans believe Alton Brown's a walking food dictionary (and he is). He's the ultimate commentator on Iron Chef America, he's a mentor and judge on Food Network Star and no one will ever forget Good Eats. But there's still so much to learn about this pillar of Food Network. FN Dish caught up with Alton on the set of his newest show, Cutthroat Kitchen, where he chatted about survival techniques for future competitors and even a couple things you may not know about the man who so many admire and look up to.
1. When Alton was younger, he always thought he would end up directing movies, which is what he trained for. "Only I got sidestepped into commercials for a long time."
2. Alton spends a lot of time flying airplanes.
3. Alton plays multiple instruments including the guitar. "I always travel with a guitar when I'm on the road." He also sings with his trio on his live tour.
4. Going along with music: Alton almost always listens to music while he cooks. The playlist depends on the day. "I'm anywhere from opera to Led Zeppelin — and everywhere in between. My daughter is 14 and listens to a lot of pop stuff, so I tend to gravitate way, far away from whatever she's listening to. I have music on in the kitchen all the time. The last 10 things I cooked were probably to mid-'70s Elton John," Alton shared with FN Dish.
5. Alton is terrified of calf's liver. "I've tried it and I can't make it edible. I don't like anyone else's either — and mine is just worse," Alton adds.

60th Anniversary
"[Education] should assist us not only to make a living but also to make a life. Life, we are told, is not a goblet to be drained but a measure to be filled."
– Gilbert Paterson, one of the founders of Lethbridge College
Lethbridge College is proud to mark its 60th anniversary during a 60-week celebration of the people and partnerships who have made the college what it is today.
Throughout our history, the courage, vision, dedication, commitment and hard work of the people of Lethbridge College kept us on course as we attend to our number one priority – providing relevant, high-quality education in a changing world.
As we celebrate the college's vision of leading and transforming education in Alberta during these 60 weeks, we will pay tribute to the visionary founders who in 1957 created Canada's first publicly-funded community college. We will also celebrate the college's residency on traditional Blackfoot territory and our commitment (from our earliest years) to Indigenous education and improving our practices to better service Indigenous people.
The community has been at the heart of the college since our founding, and we look forward to celebrating that partnership as well as the many milestones the college, its staff, students, alumni, friends and partners have achieved since 1957.

"According to the report, the former secretary for Biogenesis said there shouldn't be any question as to what athletes were looking for from Bosch."
"He sold HGH and steroids," the person said, according to the New Times. "Everyone who worked there knew that was what our business was."
I'd honestly rather have PED's be legal, Sosa/Bonds/McGuire etc hitting ridiculous bombs game after game was the funnest baseball has been in recent memory. People act like it's not fair because it isn't 'natural' and players back in the day didn't have this option, but there are numerous other advantages players have now that weren't available to players back then. For example, many players now use specialized contact lenses that give them vision much better than 20/20, I don't see people complaining about these advantages. Also, aren't cortisone shots basically a type of steroid? Players get these shots all the time and are able to play through injuries.
I can see the argument that it wouldn't be fair because many players wouldn't take PED's even if they were legal due to side effects, which is a fair argument.
There is a blatantly arbitrary line that is drawn by the government and sports organizations when it comes to this. A player can use certain drugs to help him heal, but others are off limits, for no actual reason.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Miami theater is as alive and thriving en español as it is in English. From the reputable Teatro Avante to the burgeoning number of small theaters on SW Eighth Street, there's much to be said for local Spanish-language theater. But this season director Rolando Moreno's Spanish adaptation of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire took the prize. La Ultima Parada gave theatergoers a taste of what challenging theater can do when teamed with excellent acting. Transplanting Williams's streetcar of Southern decadence to Guantánamo, Cuba, circa 1970, La Ultima Parada turned decadence into misogyny and the tradition of Latin-American machismo into an intriguing pendulum of sexuality. Actors Carlos Caballero and Alexa Kuve stood out for their raw emotionalism as Guantánamo Bay's Stanley and Stella. The play was at times colloquially hilarious and at other times heartbreaking, but above all it provided Spanish-speaking audiences with an unflinching closeup of Castro's postrevolutionary wasteland. La Ultima Parada also featured Vivian Ruiz, Evelio Taillacq, Maria Hernandez, Hugo Garcia, Gerardo Riveron, and Ricardo Ponte.
Theatergoers found a lot of reasons to dislike Paul Tei this season. He played a cold-blooded child killer in New Theatre's Never the Sinner and a hot-blooded serial killer in GableStage's Popcorn. But he is so good at being bad that you can't really hold it against him. Tei is the kind of actor who looks at a role not only as an opportunity to perform but also as an opportunity to create a role. Consequently he can portray several different degenerates, and his performances never overlap. As Wayne, the gun-toting redneck in Popcorn, Tei kept us riveted to our seats -- appalled and laughing. As Richard Loeb, a wealthy young Chicago man who, along with his lover, kills a young boy on a Nietzsche-inspired whim, he was equally appalling. But Tei never let audiences simply dislike his characters. With his willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of character definition, he could make Ted Bundy funny. For example, in Never the Sinner, he dared to play this insolent, arrogant murderer as childlike and capricious -- clubbing a kid in the head one moment and going out for hot dogs the next. Tei's topnotch acting transformed these two good plays into excellent ones.
An actor's success in a dramatic role can fall into one of two categories: the ability to make the unbelievable believable, and the ability to make the believable unbelievably incredible. Bridget Connors managed to do both in her role as a young Jewish woman dying of a terminal illness. That's the believable part. Rachel's plight easily could have been a case study in Harold S. Kushner's book When Bad Things Happen to Good People. She expressed all the predictable emotions and asked all the right metaphysical questions. The not-so-believable part is the conversion experience she had, which was facilitated by her sister, a devout member of the Christian Science faith. Believable or unbelievable, Connors brought something magical to the role from the moment she stepped onstage. Her ability to be simultaneously earthy and ethereal left theatergoers feeling as though they were seeing a tragedy for the first time.
Let's give it up, finally, for the Big Dog, Joe Rose. The former Miami Dolphin wide receiver is as close to a Miami sports institution as we have at this time, at least since Dan Marino and Don Shula have retired. Hard to believe in a way. Rose hardly distinguished himself as an athlete. (His greatest claim to fame, which he'll gladly tell you about, is catching Marino's first touchdown pass.) But as a broadcaster Rose has developed into a welcome, humorous personality, the ex-jock with a soft spot for the underdog. In his appearances on WQAM, on WTVJ-TV (Channel 6), and hosting numerous charity roasts, Rose plays the doofus, willingly attracting abuse from his co-workers, especially his linemates on the First Team, WQAM's very listenable morning sports-talk show. Clearly, though, Rose is no idiot. Compared with other sports clowns, such as former Steeler QB Terry Bradshaw, we'll take the underdog every time.
With the closing of the Alliance Cinema on Lincoln Road, it looked as though this category would be consigned to the cultural graveyard. Conventional wisdom had it that nobody could withstand the gravitational pull of the multiplex. Besides that, it seemed as if an audience for art movies simply didn't exist in Miami -- or didn't exist in large-enough numbers to make financial ends meet. But that didn't deter Cesar Hernandez-Canton, Johnny Calderin, and Ray Garcia (also operators of the Absinthe House Cinematheque in Coral Gables). In January of this year they opened the 103-seat, nonprofit Mercury Theatre to high hopes if not huge crowds. Although the opening was a year later than planned, the delay actually may have worked in their favor. Their hopes of riding the entrepreneurial wave in Miami's Upper Eastside created by restaurateur Mark Soyka were enhanced by giving Soyka (the restaurant) a chance to develop a following, which it has. With Soyka (the man) as landlord, Hernandez-Canton, Calderin, and Garcia remade an old warehouse adjacent to the restaurant, featuring amenities such as tables and chairs in the lobby, twenty-foot ceilings, unusual concession delicacies, and gallery space. Soyka installed a fountain outside and added more tables and chairs. Voila! An oasis was born. Films are screened twice nightly during the week. Matinees are added on the weekends. Yes, the movies don't change all that frequently, but it sure beats the only attractions formerly available in the neighborhood: streetwalkers and strip clubs.
In 1988 Ramon Cernuda presided over an auction of paintings held at the Cuban Museum of Art and Culture. The works were created by Cuban artists who had not broken with the Castro regime. The new owner of Manuel Mendive's Pavo Real promptly stepped outside and set it ablaze in the presence of cheering protesters. (Twice the museum was severely damaged by bombs.) A year later the feds accused Cernuda of purchasing Cuban art in violation of the embargo; they raided his Brickell Avenue condo and confiscated 240 paintings. A federal judge angrily denounced the seizure and ordered the works returned. Today the backsides of those paintings display U.S. Treasury/Customs Service seals, the same ones used to label intercepted drugs. Who would have thought that eleven years later, Cernuda would be opening an art gallery specializing in Cuban art from the island, smack in the middle of Coral Gables. This past fall Cernuda Arte made its debut with an exhibition of Cuban originals by masters such as Amelia Pelaez, Wifredo Lam, and Carlos Enriquez. Currently the gallery represents six working artists. Two of them, Demi and Sinuhé Vega, are based in Miami. The others create in Cuba. They are Flora Fong, Juan Roberto Diago, Alfredo Sosabravo, and Rigoberto Pelaez. "We are very open about what we do," Cernuda says. Boy, have times changed.

Ace - Teasing
If this was a game, I was not going to lose. I was going to WIN. Even though I had never really been in a relationship before, I knew from books, and just by instinct, what I needed to do to make Dia give way to me.
First thing in the morning, I went out and picked a bunch of the most beautiful flowers. Then I bought a box of chocolates, and put them on the pillow next to where Dia still slumbered. Then I sauntered off and had a shower. When I was dressed, she was awake, staring at the gifts with a small smile .
"You..?" She asked. I smiled, and held out my arms. She fell into them easily, and I tilted her head up, cupping her chin in the palm of my hand. Then I leaned down, and let my lips brush against hers. Without hesitation, she threw her arms about my neck, and deepened the kiss. When I broke off she began to murmur: "I l-" She caught herself at the last second, giving me an evil grin that told me I would not win that easily. "I think I owe you a thank you, was what I was going to say."
I scowled, but I couldn't quite push her away in my anger like I would have liked to. I just... couldn't...

I know, I know. It's called Tuna Does Vegas. But part of me really wishes it was Vegas Does Tuna so I could observe not only how many wardrobe changes it would take to make a really, really awesome tuna sandwich onstage, but also so I could see a long line of showgirls perform a high-kick routine while carrying a several-foot-long party sub. I would guess the part of me that desires this revision is the part of me that loves sandwiches. But alas, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams have simply returned to blow the lid off Sin City and the door off their overworked costume department with their zany, small-town Texas, multi-character shtick. Tuna Does Vegas hits Bass Hall, Fourth and Calhoun Streets in Fort Worth, Tuesday through October 26. Tickets are $25 to $69. For showtimes and ticket purchases, call 817-212-4280 or visit casamanana.org.
Tuesdays-Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 p.m. Starts: Oct. 21. Continues through Oct. 26, 2008

I Finally Got Through To Them
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 24, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, December 24, 2013
I called Mike Waheed again and this time was lucky enough to catch him in his office. He made sure the Customer Servioce team called me back. Of course they're trying to bullshit me by saying that the charge was legit and that so much time has passed that the issue is moot...even though I pointed out that I tried calling them before and that it was only now that I got through. They're sending me a copy of my contract and I'll compare it with mine and see where it says that a cancellation fees applies even if I never completed the registration process.

Good thing I wait it, I guess I need drive down and get one then
Anyone have the current coupon they could post? Thanks in advance.

Well I did another datalog with 3 different fuel pressure parameters logged. Also my old logs had debug type 4 already logged as well so that is included as well.
Although I don't know really what I am looking for with the LPFP voltage.
My OL fuel map:
Thats the issue...everyone is always chasing the next best thing out. I for one stick to something that has proven to work on my car as I am still using Procede Rev 2.5 and maps from 7-11 2011. Logs after logs everything is in check..Although I tried the newer offerings, but the logs and my car didnt like it all that much, so I reverted back and never looked back again... So at this point I just sit back and watch all of you rebels looking for the NEXT BEST THING, and then the next and then the next! BMW named their new CIC navi model NBT and it stands for NEXT BEST THING! LMAO
OP go back to older firmware and see if that fixes your issue. The logs show that your fuel pump is healthy and it is tune related.
I can also provide 7-11 maps from 2011 is you choose to...These are the linear maps and not the aggressive mapping...Let me know u want them..
I just have to take the car out again to test to see if everything is running smoothly as I just added E30 mix to my 93 fuel
I stop chasing maps and firmware a long time ago...Each update for any tune regardless of Procede or BMS was the next best thing, and then you have all the people frantic to load up the new stuff, meanwhile their cars are already running superb..
One word of advice is if its not broken no need to fix it! lol
TCW...I would for sure try a different map and firmware to isolate this issue....Not worth trying to fix it running so god damn lean up top...
I'm curious to see what the issue is with your car. Whatever it is mine has the same issue. On jb4 g5 ISo map 1 my trims are maxed even with ol set to 100 on straight pump gas. Stock tune runs normal.
interesting, have you posted any logs? you should
PM your email and I can send you a map FW combo, if you don't already have them. Any of the fall 2011 aggressive maps up to the 2012 4/12 map should work. I have a rev 3 BTW.

text: 11:34 PM CDT on Thursday, August 26, 2010 [SIZE=-1]SportsDayDFW.com[/SIZE] Dallas Cowboys tight end coach John Garrett was interviewed on KESN-FM on Wednesday to discuss the growth of Martellus Bennett , the loss of John Phillips and the younger players vying for a spot. Here are some highlights: What do you see for Martellus Bennett this year and can he mature and take it to the next level? Well, he's showing signs that he has matured. He really had a great approach in rehabbing his ankle. He was really professional, he stayed alert and alive in the meetings, and once he was healthy, he showed it, in practice, that he was ready and then he went out for San Diego and made some plays in the passing game and continued to show his ability to block and move people at the point of attack. So we were pleased with his game performance and as we know, he's got a long way to go to be the kind of player that we hope him to be but also that he hopes to be. We're moving towards that and we're really pleased with his development right now. Before John Phillips was injured, was he ahead of Bennett on the depth chart? We don't compare players and John has his specific role, which he fulfilled last year very well. And John is the guy that when somebody gets hurt, he comes in and takes great pride in knowing both positions and even the fullback position. So, they are completely different and they have different roles and there are certain things that Martellus does better than John at this stage and he will continue to do those things and we expect Martellus to continue to have an expanded role in this offense, both in the run game and the pass game, as he demonstrated the ability to handle it and demonstrates his performance in those roles.

Questions, questions.
Auvrea takes me aside and asks me what it is I want to know. Where to start?!
'I don't know where to start,' I admit. 'Just everything. Why have I come back as this? What am I even here for? Is there some purpose to this, or is this as futile as life the first time around was? Does this mean there is a god, or what? How... immune are we to the... people on this bus, too? I mean, what if vampire guy over there decided to bite me... I wouldn't then turn into a vampire would I?' the questions tumble out of my mouth.
I look into Auvrea's eyes pleadingly. 'Help me! I've been dead for four weeks. I had to watch my own funeral. It won't stop haunting me! I can't make up my mind if I miss life or not. Just... ARGH!' I yell, tailing off in a shout of frustration. I bend over, my head in my hands, crying again. I feel a hand rest on my shoulder comfortingly. I don't know whose it is, I don't look up.

It's a trap!
After leaving Amy's house, Sonic continued to search for Knuckles and Tails under the night sky so he could bring them back to Robotnik's base.
Robotnik was in control of Sonic at his base, telling him what to do through his own pair of headsets, "Have you found them yet?"
"Not yet, I think they've thought this out pretty thorough." Sonic stood there looking all around him. So far, he's spent four hours looking for Knuckles and Tails.
"Maybe you should try looking in the most obvious of places." Robotnik suggested.
Sonic rubbed his chin in thought, "Sounds like a good plan, master." He turned around and blasted towards Tail's workshop. As soon as he blasted off, his ear piece fell out of his ear and fell onto the dirt road.
"Then get to it!" Was the last thing Robotnik said before Sonic left a pile of dust covering the ear piece behind him.
Sonic came to a screeching halt in front of Tails workshop that lay near the beach. The workshop seemed to be closed because the metal shutters locked any one out without a key. Sonic thought that it was too obvious. Tails and Knuckles picked the worst hiding spot ever Sonic thought to himself. He jogged over to the shutters and took a feel to the material. He knocked on the shutters too, "Shouldn't be too hard to get into."
Sonic charged up his spin dash for a long time until he was satisfied with the power he was going to unleash on the shutters. He unleashed his spin dash and broke through the metal shutters with no difficulty. He left a big hole in the shutters when he looked back at them, "Heh, no problem." he felt good about himself.
The workshop inside wasn't all that dark. Something in the middle was giving off a blue glow. Could it be a chaos emerald? He couldn't tell yet. Sonic got closer to the glowing object until he could see clearly a chaos emerald laying in the center of the table Tail's uses to work on his inventions. The chaos emerald was just lying out in the open, there was no one to be seen, "Boss, I didn't find them, but I found a chaos emerald..." He couldn't hear anything from the other side. Sonic touched the inside of his ear and he realized that the ear piece was gone, "Crap...I'll just give it to him on the way back."
Sonic was about to grab the chaos emerald until he felt a weird sensation of someone else being here. There was already a hole for him to escape in and he could speed off in no time. He shrugged and grabbed the chaos emerald. The inside of the workshop started to light up red with really loud alarm sirens. It was a trap. Oh well, he can still escape through the hole behind him. When he turned around to escape, another layer of shutters closed over the first shutter, only the second layer was a lot of thicker and stronger.
Sonic tried his best to spin dash through the thicker shutter doors but he was only hurting himself.
Through vents in the ceiling and floor, green gasses were hissing out filling the room with a greenish smokescreen.
Sonic covered his mouth and nose as best as he could keeping the blue chaos emerald in the other hand. It was no good; his hands couldn't keep the gasses from entering his nasal passages. He was beginning to lose consciousness; his eyelids were becoming heavy, along with a shortness of breath. He dropped to his knees and the chaos emerald on the ground at the same time. He fell over onto his side and rolled over on his back. The last thing he saw before his eyes closed were Knuckles and Tails with gasmasks on and then he passed out unconscious.

If the ink pen isn't out of ink, it has to be close after Friday night's editing of the Cougars' record book.
Campbell County football records were altered 10 times during the Cougars game with the Halls Red Devils, as Campbell County found the victory, 55-20.
That score ranks high, as the 55 points is the most scored by any Campbell County team. The most before that point came last season as the Cougars defeated Halls 49-35.
For the past eight years, the middle school and elementary school cross-country teams have had someone in the state race.
With a much more competitive field this season, they didn't disappoint again as 16 total runners ran in the middle school and elementary school races on Saturday.
The Campbell County cross-country teams competed in the Cove Lake Invitational last Thursday. The top two girls in the county were Michaela Thomas who finished sixth place. Jellico's Olivia Veach finished an impressive 11th out of the 63 competitors in the race. Also participating was Venessia Troxell of Jellico and Chelsey Kennedy of Campbell County. The Cougars' Ben Vinsant hit a personal record for the season, finishing with a 19:33. That time was good enought for 18th. Ryan Middleton also turned in a personal best on the course.
When: Friday
Where: Campbell County High School; L. Hope Dossett Stadium
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m.
Records: Oak Ridge (8-1, 7-0 District 3-AAA) at Campbell County (3-6, 2-5)
Previous meeting: Last season, Campbell County fell hard in Oak Ridge. The Wildcats took the District 3-AAA meeting 42-7 over the Cougars.
Where: Jellico High School; Bill Humphreys Field
Records: Oneida (8-1, 5-0 District 4-A) at Jellico (1-8, 1-4)
Previous meeting: Last year, the Indians defeated the Blue Devils in Oneida. In 2011, Oneida took the District 4-A meeting by a decisive 47-0 score.
Youth basketball coaches meeting
A youth basketball coaches meeting will be held tonight, Thursday Oct. 25 at the LaFollette Community Center, which is the old West LaFollette School. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Anyone interested in coaching should attend this meeting. A background check for coaching will be required. For more information, contact the recreation department at 562-9424.
Playoff Madness
Simply standing next to 'Big Mike' is intimidating. For Cumberland Gap's small running back, he looked like a not-so-gentle giant.
Standing at 6-foot-2, Mike Rhodes has been one of the most physical players for the LaFollette Owls. As an eighth grader, weighing in at 225 pounds, he's a force that hard to hold as an offensive line.
There may have been 133 plays in the game, but it all came down to one.
Campbell County did everything right against the Panthers of Powell, taking a 13-6 lead in the half. Defense stood strong for the entire game, giving the Cougars a chance to hit a game winning 32-yard field goal with only 1:19 remaining in regulation.
One in six Tennesseans go to bed hungry every night. However, local and state hunters are looking to change those odds.
Hunters for the Hungry, a program started 15 years ago, has recently found its way to Campbell County. The Campbell Outdoor Recreation Association (CORA) has been working diligently with this program in order to feed the county's hungry families.
Where: Halls High School
Records: Campbell County (2-6, 1-5 District 3-AAA) at Halls (1-7, 1-5)
Previous meeting: The Cougars came ready to play in last year's battle with the Halls Red Devils. Campbell County took this District 3-AAA matchup 49-35 last season.

European banks: $283B more in writedownsFRANKFURT (Reuters) -- Euro-zone banks will probably need to write down another $283 billion this year and next on bad loans and securities, the European Central Bank said on Monday. The ECB estimated bank writedowns due to securities -- or toxic assets -- would total around $218 billion from the start of the financial turmoil to the end of 2010, while bad loans would account for another $431 billion -- a total of $649 billion, with an estimated $366 billion already announced. The figures were published in the ECB's latest Financial Stability Review, which concluded that risks to the financial sector had increased in the last six months amidst a deterioration in the economic environment which is putting pressure on the bottom line of companies and households.
"The contraction of economic activity and the diminished growth prospects have resulted in a further erosion of the market values of a broad range of assets," the report said. "Connected with this, there has been a significant increase in the range of estimates of potential future writedowns and losses that banks will have to absorb before the credit cycle reaches a trough." The ECB's estimate of $649 billion for the whole period contrasts with a figure of $904 billion from the International Monetary Fund in April.
The ECB said the calculations were surrounded by a high degree of uncertainty stemming from the economic and market outlook, accounting rules allowing banks to delay reporting writedowns and the very uncertain outlook for bank profits. "Against this background, write-off rates could increase by more than currently anticipated," the ECB said. However, ECB Vice-President Lucas Papademos said most big euro area banks "appear to be well-capitalized enough to withstand downside scenarios."
The report outlined a wide range of risks and dangers for the financial sector in the 16-nation region, ranging from the financial situation of firms and households to continued volatility on markets. "Both policymakers and market participants will have to be very alert in the period ahead. There is no room for complacency," ECB Vice-President Lucas Papademos told a news conference. Property prices could be expected to fall further, in some countries at least, and big banks and insurance firms remained vulnerable to a further erosion of the capital base and a loss of investor confidence.
Worse than expected?
The euro area economic downturn could be worse than currently expected and there were increasing signs of a negative feedback loop between the real economy and the financial sector -- although there were also some positives. "Following a weak start in 2009, there have recently been increasing signs from survey data -- both within and outside the euro area -- suggesting that the pace of deterioration in activity is moderating and that consumer and business sentiment is improving, although still remaining at low levels," the report said.
The ECB said the risk of deflation was limited and central bank actions in cutting interest rates and lending banks unlimited funds had helped reduce money market spreads, although these were still elevated for longer maturities. Without commenting directly on the outlook for official interest rates - now at a record low 1% -- the ECB noted households were in a better position to repay debt than earlier. "The interest rate risk faced by households has declined somewhat since (December 2008), and is expected to remain subdued looking forward," it said.
The ECB said the outlook for euro zone government bond yields was surrounded by persistent uncertainty regarding macro-financial developments. "Upward risks for yields could be seen if flight-to-safety flows unwind further or if bond markets have difficulty in absorbing the increased issuance needs of euro area governments," the report said.
As part of its measures to stimulate the eurozone economy, the ECB has been offering unlimited liquidity to banks, and will shortly launch longer-term refinancing operations. However, a debate has begun amongst policymakers about when such extraordinary policy measures need to be unwound. "The current ample liquidity provided by the ECB will not remain in place (forever)," Papademos said. Asked about the ECB's 12-month refi operations which will begin next week, Papademos said he would wait to see the market's reaction. "Then we will see what demand is from institutions ... at this point I will not speculate."

As the league's teams enter the month of February, we've seen them begin preseason training and prep for friendlies just around the corner. But that doesn't mean league transfers are over. They've slowed down somewhat, but clubs are still making moves and finalizing their rosters. The most new acquisitions came from the expansion sides, but many of the league's sides made some sort of move to kick off the month.
The Carolina Railhawks started their week by re-signing a staple in the Railhawks scene. "Mr. Railhawk" has been with the club since 2007, scoring the club's first goal and winning the first team MVP award. He leads the club with 244 appearances, making 23 last season, 22 of them starts. The 37-year-old defender added an assist in 2015.
The Railhawks announced another returning face as captain Connor Tobin was also re-signed by the club. The 29-year-old defender started 28 of his 29 appearances last season and made 23 appearances, all starts, in the 2014 season, scoring two goals in each campaign. The return of their captain should be a boost in turning around a poor performance by the back line last season.
The Strikers made only one move securing another Brazilian influence, in the form of Dalton Moreira Neto. The 26-year-old center back seems to have had difficulty finding playing time across his career. It does not appear that he got playing time in his most recent stint with Internacional. The former Brazilian youth international has spent most of his career in the Brazilian leagues outside of a stint in Peru.
The Armada made a solid pick-up grabbing 26-year-old striker Matt Fondy. The 2015 USL Golden Boot winner scored 22 goals, added 7 assists, and collected the USL MVP award. He also earned an All-USL first team nomination while with Louisville FC. He is reunited with defender Bryan Burke, who was picked up earlier this season.
The Armada also announced cuts, releasing forward Tommy Krizanovic and defenders Jordan Gafa and Nurdin Hrustic.
Miami FC announced the signing of 25-year-old midfielder Roberto Alterio. Alterio has experience with Caracas FC, Florida International University, the University of South Florida, and was a Venezuelan youth international.
The next pickup for the expansion side was defender Mason Trafford, formerly of the Ottawa Fury. The 29-year-old Canadian made 54 appearances across the last two seasons with them, including starts in all 27 appearances in 2015. The experienced defender should be help the new club immensely.
The last signing was an atypical one, Dutch-American player Sergio Van Kanten. The bulk of his early career was spent with youth and reserve teams in Colombia and across Europe. He also has connections to Florida football with previous time spent on the USL's Miami FC in 2007. Most recently, he captained Miami Dade FC to the American Premier Soccer League Championship semifinals. He can be utilized as a midfielder or a striker.
United started off the week by bringing back some key pieces.
Sammy Ndjock, the 24-year-old Cameroonian keeper was one of them. After a 12-8-3 record, seven shutouts, and a 1.09 GAA, the club chose to pick up his option.
Midfielder Juliano Vicentini signed a new deal with United. The 34-year-old Brazilian spent the last two seasons in Minnesota, making 48 appearances. He started 22 of his 23 appearances last season, scoring two goals.
United also added a new piece by signing Kristian Nicht. The 33-year-old goalkeeper spent the last two years with the Indy Eleven. After 27 matches in 2014, the German started 20 last season, going 7-7-6 with a 1.60 GAA. He was also part of an strange transfer that involved him being sent to the Montreal Impact for the CONCACAF Champions League, getting put on the business end of a 4-2 shellacking, and winding up back with the Eleven.
A pair of signings for the Ottawa Fury last week.
Mozzi Gyorio, a 26-year-old midfielder, signs with them after spending 2015 with the Austin Aztex, Fury head coach Paul Dalglish's former club. He made 18 appearances, contributing three assists. He also played under Dalglish at FC Tampa Bay (now the Rowdies in 2010). Of more interest regarding the Canadian player, he's currently in the midst of a lawsuit against his 2014 club, Minnesota United, and the NASL for breach-of-contract after the club attempted to send him down to their reserves.
Andrew MacRae, a 25-year-old keeper, trained with the club last season. He joins after featuring for the Acadia University Axemen and was also an assistant coach for goalkeepers.
The aforementioned departure of Mason Trafford to Miami also took place.
The Scorpions Rayo OKC made the most new signings, going with some familiar faces and some new ones.
Daniel Fernandes made 14 starts for the Scorpions last season, going 3-5-6 after joining them in the fall. His other experience involves the German Bundesliga, the Greek Superleague, and the 2010 Portugese World Cup team.
Marvin Chávez, another former Scorpion, joins Fernandes, head coach Alen Marcina, and recent signings Billy Forbes and Tyler Gibson. The winger made 27 appearances last season, starting 25 matches and scoring four times. The Honduran national has also played for the Liga Nacional de Honduras, MLS, and was on the 2014 Honduran World Cup team.
Juan Antonio Gonzalez Fernandez, also known as Juanan, joins after spending last season with Leganes of the Segunda División of Spain. The 28-year-old Spanish national saw no league play, but did make three appearances in the Copa del Rey. Prior to last season, the center back had gotten regular appearances with his clubs in the top divisions of Germany, Spain, and Hungary.
Hugo Rhoads, a defender, signs his first pro contract after spending the last four years playing for the University of Portland.
Ian Svantesson also signs his first pro contract after four years as a defender at the University of Alabama Birmingham.
The Rowdies signed Austrian goalkeeper Michael Langer. The 31-year-old Austrian spent the last two seasons with Vålerenga of the Tippeligaen, the Norwegian first-division, making 42 appearances. He finished his 14-appearance season on a seven-game unbeaten run. He also spent his time between 2005-2013 with clubs in the top two divisions in Germany, but most of his playing time came with their reserve sides in the third division.
Tampa Bay also picked up a loan. Junior Burgos, with Atlanta United of MLS, will join them for the 2016 season. The 27-year-old midfielder joined the Silverbacks in 2014, scoring three goals and adding two assists in 17 appearances. After a stint with the USL's OC Blues, he returned to Atlanta last fall, making another 17 appearances while scoring four goals and adding six assists.
Not the busiest week this off-season, but definitely some interesting moves made across the league. I think Minnesota made the better moves this week in securing returning players and adding some experience in Nicht, as long as he remains a back-up keeper.
I think Burgos makes a fine addition to the Rowdies and may be the strongest individual player move of the week, but I'm most intrigued to see how Fondy works for the Armada, particular with the exceptionally fast attack they employed last season.
Ottawa continues to win my most underwhelming off-season vote. I may be totally wrong, but so far, I just don't think what they've brought in really compensates for what they've lost. But, between Jonny Steele and Mozzi Gyorio, I'm sure my interest will be kept.
But, most importantly, hoping we see the Cosmos finalize a few things soon.
