4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 parsnips
4 carrots
4 stalks celery
3 onions (2 large, 1 small-divided use)
3 sprigs fresh sage PLUS 1 tablespoon minced
1 bunch fresh parsley PLUS 2 tablespoons minced
1 large chicken, cut into pieces, skin/fat removed and reserved
2 quarts chicken stock
1 cup white wine (optional)
1 cup matzo meal
1 cup water
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
In a large soup pot, place 1 large onion, quartered; 1 (large) parsnip, halved; bunch parsley; sprigs of sage; 2 celery stalks; chicken pieces; broth and wine. The broth should be covering the chicken. If not, add water or additional to cover. Over high heat, bring to boil then reduce to low and simmer, partially covered for 1 hour, every 10 minutes, skim any scum that floats to the surface off. Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan, add the fat, and the small onion, quartered and cook over medium heat until the fat is rendered. Strain into a heat safe bowl or measuring cup. Boil one cup water and pour it into a bowl with 1 cup matzo meal, stir to combine. Add 3 tablespoons rendered fat (if you don't have 3 tablespoons worth, make up the difference in oil), minced parsley, minced sage, salt, egg and white pepper. Stir to combine, refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut the remain carrots, parsnips, celery and onion into bite sized pieces, set aside. After the soup has cooked for one hour, remove the chicken and place in a bowl. Strain the broth through a fine strainer into another large pot, pressing the solids to release any liquids. Discard solids. To the remaining broth add the cut up onion, carrots, parsnips, and celery. Return the broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, remove the mazto meal mixture from the refrigerator and, using wet hands, roll into 1 inch balls. In a another pot, bring a large amount of salted water to boil. Drop the matzo balls into the water and cook 15 minutes, they should float to the top but this does not mean they are ready, cook the full 15 minutes. Pick the chicken off the bone using a fork or your fingers and remove to a a covered bowl. When the vegetables are tender, add the chicken back into the broth.
To serve: place 4 matzo balls in each bowl (should serve 4-6) and ladel the soup over. Serve right away.

Happy New Year!
I hope everybody has been enjoying the beginning of 2010. I am still getting over a cold that I got a week ago! It definitely put a damper on this past week, but you cannot beat the feeling of being surrounded by old friends. I was lucky enough to ring in the new year with one of my old college roommates, Abby, who is a great friend and an amazing woman. She moved out to the west coast and I had not seen in her in over three years! She is now living in Sacramento and is a personal trainer. Now, I know it is the new year and everybody is breaking out with their resolutions. I am planning to eat healthier this year and to exercise more. Of course I will not be cutting out dessert, but I am a big believer in almost anything is fine in moderation. I wish Abby still lived out here because she trained me in college and I loved working with her. This time I am going to have to go it alone, but if any of you are interested and in the Sacramento area, here is a link to her site: Live for it All. In addition to Abby staying with us, we also had three of Zack's old friends staying with us. I love those guys and am thrilled that they get to be part of my life now too. This was a week of non-stop laughs! We had so much fun this past week, but I think my favorite part was the Eggnog French Toast Zack made for us the morning of the first. Guess who has breakfast duty now :)
Anyway, on to dessert. As I said above, I think just about anything is okay in moderation. For instance, don't eat an entire red velvet cake, just have a cupcake.
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
recipe adapted from Martha Stewart
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon red gel-paste food color
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk together cake flour, cocoa, and salt. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whisk together sugar and oil until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Mix in food color and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of buttermilk, and whisking well after each. Stir together the baking soda and vinegar in a small bowl (it will foam); add mixture to the batter, and mix on medium speed 10 seconds. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored overnight at room temperature, or frozen up to 2 months, in airtight containers. To finish, use a small offset spatula to spread cupcakes with frosting. Refrigerate up to 3 days in airtight containers; bring to room temperature before serving.
Cream Cheese Frosting
recipe from Martha Stewart
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 pound (4 cups) confectioners' sugar, sifted
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Beat butter and cream cheese with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time, and then vanilla; mix until smooth. Frosting can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; before using, bring to room temperature, and beat until smooth.
Here is a picture of Zack and I with our friends on New Year's Eve.

The Lake District is perhaps England's most picturesque region with its lakes and fells, and Keswick, beside Derwent Water, is one of the most popular centres. Hotels can be pricey, but have you considered the alternative of rental accommodation? Whether a spacious apartment or a converted farmhouse takes your fancy, your family will have more freedom than in hotel rooms. A fully equipped kitchen will allow you to prepare your favourite meals rather than eating out every day. You will have plenty of space for your climbing gear too.
The star attractions of the area around Keswick are of course the Skiddaw Mountains and beautiful Derwent Water. Sports enthusiasts should plan their holiday for the month of May to take part in the Keswick Mountain Festival. If you are not a climber, you can enjoy the public parks, swimming pools and gardens of Keswick. When the rain comes, pay a visit to the Cars of the Stars Museum whose collection includes vehicles from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the James Bond movies; children can even have rides there. For evening entertainment try the Theatre by the Lake or the cinema. Keswick has a superb choice of eateries that caters for all tastes.
Anyone over seven can take part in a variety of activities at Keswick Adventure Centre. You can choose from indoor and outdoor rock climbing, zip lines, abseiling, mountain biking and canoeing. Young children will love a visit to Trotters World of Animals with its endangered species, birds of prey and reptiles; many of its areas are under cover. An unusual venue for wet weather is the Cumberland Pencil Museum where children can try out watercolour pencils and follow step-by-step worksheets as well as enter competitions. Don't miss Keswick Leisure Pool, another great attraction with its wave machine and 'black hole' flume.
More comfortable than camping and less expensive than a hotel, rental properties are the ideal choice for your holiday accommodation. We have a great range to suit your needs and preferences, from cottages with mountains on the doorstep to apartments in the town of Keswick. Before you make your final decision, you might like to spend some time reading our genuine customer reviews. Rest assured that our rental accommodation will offer you excellent value and leave you with more to spend on activities during your stay.

Posted by David Lebovitz 25 Feb 2014
Some say that the French can be very narrow in their definitions of things, which is why traditional French cuisine can be so simple, yet spectacular; because the classics don't get messed with. Other cuisines, however, do get modified to local tastes, like les brochettes de bœuf-fromage, or beef skewers with cheese, at les sushis restaurants, popcorn available as salty or sweet (!?), and while sandwiches stuffed with French fries may be a sandwich américain, I can't say I've ever seen one in Amérique.
Americans spend a fair amount of time defending certain dishes, and some things are (or should be) rightly forbidden, like raisins in cole slaw and dried fruit in bagels, and others are debatable, like beans in chili, sugar or honey in cornbread. (But it's okay to stop with those football-sized croissants.)

Demi Lovato To Perform On Dancing With The Stars Next Week, Returning To XFactor
According to MTV, singer Demi Lovato will be performing on Dancing With The Stars next week. For those interested, she's also returning to the X Factor next season (yikes, I was kind of hoping she wouldn't be returning. I like her music, but, not her as a judge). Below is more…
Demi Lovato might be giving your heart a break, but she has no plans to take a break from "The X Factor." On Thursday (March 28), Simon Cowell confirmed that the singer will be back for the third season of the Fox reality show, marking her second season on the series.
"I couldn't be happier that Demi wants to come back this year. She's a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying — I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists," he said in a statement, Deadline reports. "I'm especially pleased she's back even during her world tour!"
In addition to her world tour and returning to the show, Lovato is slated to release a new studio album later this year, already filming a music video for lead single"Heart Attack." She will appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "Dancing With the Stars" next week (Monday and Tuesday, respectively) to perform the tune on TV for the first time.

On May 25, 2013, The Fountain Theatre opened to a full house with the presentation of it's new Stephen Sachs play, Heart Song. Directed by Shirley Jo Finney, the show stars Pamela Dunlap as Rochelle, the middle aged Jewish woman, struggling with a crisis of faith and unable to come to terms with the death of the mother she never really knew when Tina, her Japanese American masseuse (Tamilyn Tomita) convinces her to join a flamenco class for "seasoned" out of shape women.
Resisting at first, Rochelle allows herself to be drawn into the circle as she meets the fiery teacher Katerina (Maria Bermudez/ Denise Blasor) and her classmates Daloris (Juanita Jennings) and the other women (Andrea Dantas, Mindy Krasner, Elissa Kyriacou and Sherrie Lewandowski.) At first, she has trouble opening up to her new friends, but then we learn the twist of her mother's real history and why Rochelle is so flummoxed.
The beautiful art of the flamenco dance, which means passion and fire, in Spanish, combine to show Rochelle, and us, the duality of faith and art. "It's all about duende, finding the deeper soul, unearthing that deep inner voice which lives inside us and can heal our inner wounds."
The acting was fabulous and the dancing spectacular thanks to Maria Bermudez who choreographed the dance as well as acted. Although Pamela's Hebrew when she says the Kaddish, prayer for the dead, over her mother's stone, could have used some work and maybe wasn't as Yiddish as I would have imagined. The play, itself, was so both funny and sad at the same time. Sachs deserves kudos for being able to effectively merge the two genres in such a seamless fashion.
The set design, by Tom Buderwitz was enhanced by Ken Booth's lighting and Bruno Louchouarn's sound. Lovely flamenco costumes were created by Dana Woods, while Misty Carlisle did props. Casting was accomplished by Cathy Reinking while Mitzi Delgado and Terri Roberts assisted Corey Womack in stage management. The flawless transitions between scenes was enhanced by the background music.
The passion of flamenco is celebrated here on a monthly basis in their "Forever Flamenco" series, which was created by Deborah Lawlor, who acts as consultant on this project.
The intimate Fountain Theatre, housed in a charming two story complex, provides for parking in the nearby lot at $5 (for non members. One can become a member by purchasing a series.) Performances are held Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2pm and the play will run through July 14. Reserved seating tickets are $34, with students and seniors receiving a discount. The Fountain Theatre is located at 5060 Fountain avenue, one block east of Normandie. For more information call 323 663 1525 or www.FountainTheatre.com

My main philosophy that I bring to my practice is that "You can do what you love and make great money doing it." This is usually in alignment with one's Purpose and Mission.

The are doing what they love!

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is developed by Atlus and Vanillaware. Atlus are responsible for games like Trine 2 and Persona 5 (very much looking forward to this). They have strong links with the old giants Sega and focus heavily on Japanese gaming. Finding out about Vanillaware proved quite tricky, but when viewing the gallery on their […]

Taking a lesson from Australia's political soap opera
By Pamela Green
Colorado Voices
It's always interesting to observe politics in action, particularly when you're visiting another country. We in America tend to think we have a monopoly on political gamesmanship, outrageous politicians, and scandalous behavior. Truth is, we're well behind the curve. New York congressman texts nude pictures? Puh-leeze. Your average British MP would be laughed out of the House of Commons for any scandal smaller than a same-sex affair with a Russian spy. And he'd better have leaked MI-6 secrets in the process, or we're not interested.
Like its British counterpart, the Australian political theater is much more colorful than ours. During my recent visit to Australia, the government managed to engineer a bloodless coup for my entertainment. The Labour party, which currently holds a coalition majority in Parliament, ousted its current prime minister, Julia Gillard, and replaced her with a new prime minister, Kevin Rudd. That Rudd was the former Labour prime minister, defeated by Gillard herself three years earlier, is just the kind of political soap opera the Australians love.

kmlose necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 76 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Our website needs a design overhaul. We have a static site that we would like to bring into web 2.0 world. Navigation structure will be changed to reflect the new navigation structure below.. We are launching a new service offering with a new partner and we need to merge brands. We also need to make our company's co-founder have an internet presence on our website with the "Feature Section" (reference notes in design preferences in how to do this- or feel free to add any other creative ways!)
We are in the business of creating leaders (whether academic or corporate) Core to our product offerings is the concept of interdependence (of people, resources and relationships), and the "Trim Tab Factor". This term was coined by our original founder Buckminster Fuller and we would like to use this in our brand. It is a great challenge to visually communicate that people are Trim Tabs. We don't need to use this word per se, but the concept that humans should look at the smallest change they can make for the biggest results. Leaders have the opportunity to affect change. We offer a toolbox to develop leaders. Exact explanation of "Trim Tab" can be found on Wikipedia.
Don't want imagery of Airplanes or Ship. The concept is to create maximum impact with the least amount of resources- in personal and professional life.
We are looking for the most creative minds to share in our vision.
Website needs to be inviting and easy to use for both Corporate & Academic audiences. Needs to be Cutting Edge but Professional.
Simple lines, so that message is clear: Leaders or Insight by Design.
We would like to maintain our blue/white color scheme - though variations on it widely welcomed. The new Product we need to integrate with current brand is called "dMass" and has style sheet: sabon for the italic d and univers 65 for MASS. I will include both osearth logo and dmass logos.Home page should include one section that is a "feature" section. Need not include the words "feature", but concept but be communicated. (want to plug in a recent video interview, a new product/service announcement, link to new blog post, new research thread. - Example: on Ideo website in lower left corner there is an "IDEA" profiled:http://www.ideo.com/ A second good example of a feature section is with the website: "Interface Global" with "Featured Stories" section. Like Interface we need to make the co-founder of our company & chairman have a presence on our website. He is about to come out with a book (dMASS) and he is an expert in his field. (dMass is the mass of material resources that can be eliminated through better design and problem solving. In short, dMass is reduced mass through design.)
Would like subtle differentiation in colors to identify different Audiences / Programs (Example: Outward Bound- uses different colors to categorize different age group programs: http://www.outwardbound.org/)

Syria's seventeen-month-old political and humanitarian crisis has continued to deteriorate over the last several weeks, with heavy clashes between rebels and Syrian armed forces in the country's large cities. Mass graves discovered in August in Daraya (NYT), an opposition redoubt and suburb of Damascus, provide a gruesome testament to the growing carnage inflicted on the population. Hundreds of people, including women and children, have been killed in what activists describe as a "massacre" in the town over the past week.
As diplomatic progress has withered at the UN, the United States announced the establishment of a working group with Turkey that will support the opposition in Syria, provide humanitarian aid, and develop contingency planning. Some analysts suggest the West may be "inching" its way toward military intervention, speculation grounded in recent remarks by French officials calling for an "international coalition" to institute a limited no-fly zone in Syria (SMH). To date, more than 17,000 people are estimated to have been killed in the Syrian conflict, and 150,000 refugees have fled into neighboring countries. This CFR Issue Guide provides expert analysis and essential background on the Syrian unrest, its implications for the region, as well as policy considerations.
Inside the Assad Regime
Foreign Policy: Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists
"Any government" formed by Sunni Islamists, "whatever misfortunes [they] may visit on the Syrian poeple," would be preferable to the Assad regime, writes Gary Gambill.
CFR First Take: Al-Qaeda's Specter in Syria
Al-Qaeda may become the Free Syrian Army's most potent weapon against the Assad regime, but its collaboration with rebel forces poses serious risks for the country's future, says CFR's Ed Husain.
BBC News: Crisis Emboldens Syria's Kurds
Kurdish nationalists are exploiting the chaos in Syria to pursue their goal of an autonomous region in the country's north, writes Wyre Davies.
Economist: Syria's Rebels: Who Will Come Out on Top?
A wide array of rebel groups outside of the Free Syrian Army are cooperating against the Assad regime, but the harmony may not survive long, writes the Economist.
Financial Times: Bashar al-Assad: Behind the Mask
Roula Khalaf profiles Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, "the Arab world's most notorious dictator," his unexpected rise to power, and his inner circle of family and political allies.
Foreign Affairs: Alawites for Assad
Syria's Alawite minority, a sect of Shia Islam, has been fundamental to Assad's grip on power, writes Mideast researcher Leon Goldsmith. The privileged group accounts for the vast majority of Syria's security and intelligence apparatus, he says.
CFR Interview: The Great Syrian Divide
The government of Syria's brittle, one-party state remains dug in against a determined but fractured opposition. Expert Joshua Landis discusses the fault lines in the uprising.
TIME: The Wrath of the Shabiha
As the death toll mounts in Syria, attention falls on the shadowy paramilitary group now implicated in some of the country's worst massacres, writes Rania Abouzeid.
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: The Syrian Economy: Hanging by a Thread
International sanctions on Syria are weakening an already fragile Syrian economy, with the regime increasingly and unsustainably relying on Russia, Iraq, and Iran to stay afloat, writes Samer Abboud.
PBS Frontline: What's Known about Syria's 'Murky' Opposition
The New America Foundation's Randa Slim, who has interviewed the Syrian opposition groups both in country and in exile, says the resistance movement is more fragmented than ever.
Regional Dynamics
CFR Interview: Challenges for Syria's Neighbors
A post-Assad Syria will likely create distinct challenges for each of its neighbors, including creating a major loss for Iran, says Michael Young of Lebanon's Daily Star.
National Interest: Turkey's Syria Conundrum
Ankara has been a vanguard in pushing for regime change in Syria, but the costs of this policy, including a Kurdish uprising in the country's south, are becoming increasingly apparent, writes Sinan Ulgen.
Foreign Policy: The Winners and Losers of Syria's Civil War
Aaron David Miller offers up a "preliminary scorecard" for the potential winners and losers in a post-Assad Syria—the later much easier to identify, he notes.
Financial Times:Assad's Fall Presents Turkey with another Dilemma
A post-Assad Syria will likely inflame a festering Kurdish insurgency in Turkey's southeast, writes David Gardner. Ankara is worried that an emergent Kurdish state in northern Syria could try break off Turkish territory as well.
Foreign Affairs: How Iran Keeps Assad in Power in Syria
Iran sees the Syrian government as the front line of defense against the United States and Israel, writes Geneive Abdo. So Tehran is sparing no expense to help its ally fend off popular protests, she says.
BBC News: Lebanon Sucked Into Syrian Crisis
If the violence in Syria sets off unrest in its neighbor to the west, Lebanon's "second city" Tripoli is likely to serve as ground zero, writes Jim Muir. Tensions between Tripoli's Sunni majority and small Alawite community have erupted into violence twice already this year.
New York Times: Palestinians in Syria Are Reluctantly Drawn Into Vortex of Uprising
The deteriorating situation in Syria is putting the country's half million Palestinian refugees and the Islamic militant group Hamas in a precarious position, write Rod Nordland and Dalal Mawad, having to choose between their benefactor Assad and the popular resistance.
CFR Analysis: Can Russia Shift on Syria?
Russia has the chance to provide leadership while maintaining its influence in Syria by pushing the generals Moscow helped train to oust Assad, argues Ed Husain in this New York Times debate.
USIP: The Gulf States and Syria
This brief from the U.S. Institute of Peace looks at the interests, connections, and dimensions of the Syrian unrest in the Arab Gulf states. Several experts say that although the conflict presents Gulf nations with an opportunity to oust an Iran-allied Assad regime, their power to do so is limited.
CNN: Syria's Conflict Stirs Up Old Rivalries in Lebanon
The bloody conflict in Syria has washed over into neighboring Lebanon, home of the Shiite militant group and Assad-ally Hezbollah, explains Nick Thompson.
Policy Options
Financial Times: My Departing Advice on How to Save Syria
The international community must unite and compromise, writes former UN/Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan, for a successful political transition in Syria.
CFR Media Call: The Crisis in Syria
Senior Fellows Robert Danin and Ed Husain discuss policy options on intervening and stabilizing the immediate period after Assad's fall for what they say has spiraled into a larger sectarian conflict.
Project Syndicate: Into Syria without Arms
CFR's Richard N. Haass recommends policy alternatives to an armed intervention or intervention with arms in Syria, including increased economic sanctions and a fundamental recasting of UN diplomatic efforts.
National Interest: Avoiding the Iraq Experience in Syria
The U.S. experience in Iraq indicates that a foreign military intervention in Syria would not have prevented the country's current bloodshed, writes Katherine Wilkens.
Foreign Affairs: Why Washington Didn't Intervene In Syria Last Time
Washington's current handling of Syria contrasts sharply with its actions in the past, writes former U.S. ambassador to Syria Richard W. Murphy. The United States said little about the 1982 Hama crackdown, he says, and there was no indication that Washington would intervene.
CFR Policy Innovation Memo: American Options in Syria
In this Center for Preventive Action Policy Innovation Memo, Elliott Abrams argues that the United States should work to bring down Bashar al-Assad by isolating his regime from Syria's Alawite and business communities.
CFR Analysis: Toppling Syria's Assad
The United States should provide logistical support, including intelligence and communication equipment, to the Syria rebels, writes Max Boot. Washington, with the help of its NATO allies, should also initiate a naval blockade off Syria's coast, he says.
Brookings Institution: Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change
Syria is trapped on a "crumbling precipice," and regardless of how it falls, the aftermath will mean significant risks for the United States and for the Syrian people, says this memo written by Mideast experts at Brookings.
Foreign Policy: No More Half Measures
A political solution in Syria cannot, and should not, permit Assad loyalists to retain power, writes Daniel Byman. A better option would be for Washington and its allies to throw their support behind the Syrian opposition more intently, he writes.
Harvard's Belfer Center: The Intervention Dilemma
Harvard University Professor Joseph S. Nye examines the question of military intervention in Syria and discusses comparable circumstances in history and the notion of "responsibility to protect."

So i got my first 4 dwarfs last week. I love them! But there was one thing that started bugging me, and thats the miss of movable legs. I want to make a battlescene with dwarfs oneday but when i started thinking about it i figured this battlescene would be quite 'static'...those dwarfs cant do anything other then stand there.... I want dynamic action!
So i tried making movable legs for my dwarfs. It was quite a challenge, but i think i came up with a nice design. The legs are dark red in these (crappie) photo's. I wanted to make them brown, like the original, but i didnt have the right pieces in the right color..so this will have to do.
Here is the folder when public:
And here are deeplinks to most pictures:

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MrTS/ ... Legs/f.jpg
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MrTS/ ... Legs/i.jpg
I know its not perfect. But i think this design is ok. What i really need i a bar of 2 studs long, without anything on it...On this moment i used a hamer, haha...its the best i have. I tried a lot of different pieces, but maybe i missed some other sollutions. Suggestions perhaps?

If you use your Xbox 360 as a media center, and spend more time streaming video and music to your HDTV with it than you do playing video games, you may be interested in Microsoft's new Xbox 360 Media Remote, which allows you to control the media functions on your Xbox 360 in a form factor that's a bit more familiar to TV watchers than video gamers.
The new media remote also allows you to navigate the dashboard, control DVDs and CDs, and control live TV if your area supports it and your Xbox 360 is set up for it. The new media remote replaces the old model, trims the form factor a bit and matches the new Xbox 360 "Slim" models, and reduces the number of buttons on it so it only includes the most-often used features.
The new Xbox 360 Bluetooth headset is an in-ear model that pairs with your Bluetooth-equipped Xbox 360, and will eventually replace the current wireless headset model. It comes with a handful of ear adapters out of the box so you can find one that's comfortable to wear.
It's not officially supported, but the new Bluetooth headset also pairs well with phones and computers for voice communication. Microsoft wants you to know this: they go out of their way to note it as a selling point, even though they likely won't support pairing with other devices. Even though it's branded and sold for use with the Xbox 360, early reviewers note that it's a solid mobile headset for use with a phone, and the audio quality is quite good.
The media remote will retail for $19.99, and the Bluetooth headset will retail for $59.99. Both will be available for purchase this holiday season, beginning early November 2011.

Tutorial for using the 2.6 Kernel on Slackware Linux
Written by gore
First you need to install Slackware Linux. I recommend reading my tutorials as they go step by step.
After the installation is complete, login as root and mount the Slackware installation disc #2.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/testing/packages/linux-2.6.10
Install 2.6 kernel:
You can 'ls' to see the available files, but you want to be sure you have the kernel, kernel modules, and makeinitrd installed. You can install it while you're installing Slackware Linux on your box. mkinitrd is what make an initial ramdisk.
cd /mnt/cdrom/testing/packages/linux-2.6.10
installpkg kernel*.tgz
cd /boot
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.10 -m reiserfs
This will create the /boot/initrd-tree containing the initrd filesystem. It will also create the actual initrd (initrd.gz).
you can enter 'ls' in /boot to see the files we now have. Among others, you should see 'vmlinuz-generic-2.6.10' and 'initrd.gz'.
Now to make the changes to /etc/lilo.conf, use your favorite text editor. I prefer 'vi'. Add the following under your previous kernel:
#Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.10
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux-2.6.10
#Linux bootable config ends
Save and exit the editor. Now run /sbin/lilo. If you see the 'Added Linux-2.6.10, you should be okay. Go ahead and reboot.
When you reboot, select the 'Linux-2.6.10' entry and see if it works, it should.
Everything should work except sound at this point. This is because you are still using the old alsa-drivers.
Mount the cd #2 again. In the same directory where the 18.104.22.168 kernel packages are, there is the alsa-drivers for it as well.
cd /mnt/cdrom/testing/packages/linux-2.6.10
installpkg als*.tgz
It should recognize your sound card (if it's supported) and all should be working.

In this lesson, students examine juxtapositions of a series of paintings by Kehinde Wiley and various Old Masters to which Wiley's paintings allude. Students will observe that Wiley transforms these older works by replacing white, powerful figures with African men and hip-hop artists, and will consider the implications of these changes. Students will then apply their knowledge of allusions to a comparison of Pieter Bruegel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," W.H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and the myth of Icarus. Students will observe differences in tone and will explain each work's take on human suffering.
Interactive Venn Diagram: Facilitate the comparison of two or more artistic works using this Venn diagram.
Portrait Gallery Graphic Organizer: Students use this organizer to record their observations about artwork on the London Portrait Gallery and Kehinde Wiley websites.
Inquiry Chart: On this chart, students create their own questions about various texts to share.
Chris Gilbert discusses the importance of promoting visual literacy, or "the ability to comprehend the image as a constructed medium inscribed with multiple narratives that inform identity," in the English classroom (89). He goes on to argue that "because of the prevalence of images in contemporary society, it is imperative that ELA instructors teach visual literacy to students so they become better able to reveal and rewrite the narratives of race and class that are inscribed in the innumerable images they unquestionably consume" (89). This lesson helps students develop the ability to analyze and evaluate critically messages sent through art works; during this lesson, students are asked to consider how art may be raced and classed. Teachers have the opportunity to engage with students in important conversations about literary and artistic canons, and about tone conveyed in pieces of art work.

Australian unemployment rate climbs to 5.7 per cent
Official figures show Australia's unemployment rate has increased to 5.7 per cent.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates show the rate climbed from an upwardly revised 5.6 per cent in May, to 5.7 per cent in June.
May's figure was revised up from 5.5 per cent.
The result means the unemployment rate is now at its highest level since September 2009.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected the unemployment rate to reach 5.6 per cent in June.
The figures show 4,400 full-time jobs were lost, while 14,800 part-time jobs were created.
But the net increase of 10,300 jobs was offset by an rise in the number job-seekers.
The participation rate, which refers to the number of people working or looking for work, climbed from 65.2 per cent to 65.3 per cent.
ANZ Bank economist Justin Fabo says there's little sign that the result will lead the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the official interest rate next month.
"While we have a rate cut pencilled in for later this year, a key question for the RBA is whether it waits a little longer to see if the lower Australian dollar, and already low rates, provide some support to the economy," he said in a note.
"In addition, the timing of the federal election complicates things with the [RBA] wanting to steer well clear of the election if it indeed gauges that rates need to move lower."
JP Morgan's senior economist Ben Jarman says the unemployment rate could hit six per cent by the end of the year.
"A huge part of the forecast is about your assumption around how long the mining [capital expenditure] boom has until it plateaus," he said.
"Once that does occur its all about whether the rest of the economy can fill the gap. We think on both fronts for the labour market and the RBA those issues will become most apparent around the end of this year."

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead will fully immerse viewers in the new post-Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) reality. And a big part of that is an introduction to a new and improved Eugene (Josh McDermitt). He's in the best shape he's ever been, can kill zombies fearlessly and is direct about his intentions. Most strikingly of all, his mullet is long gone, replaced by a ponytail in the first time jump and long braid in the second.
This new gangsta Eugene is willing to climb up a water tower and place a radio transmitter at Rosita's (Christian Serratos) request, and it's not even for her, it's for Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam). This is where we find him at the start of the exclusive clip above. But when a walker herd that was heading in the opposite direction suddenly changes course (hmm, what's that about?) and comes back toward Eugene and Rosita, he has to make a hasty exit.
Easier said than done.

Def Leppard and Poison performed at Merriweather Post Pavilion Tuesday night. Midnight Sun contributor Jay Trucker was there.
At around 10 Tuesday night at Columbia's Merriweather Post Pavillion, a pair of fans were relieving themselves of $12 margaritas and $10 beers when the following disagreement took place:
Fan No. 1: "Poison should be headlining this show, man. They're better than Def Leppard."
Fan No. 2: "No way. Def Leppard's still got it! Poison is just collecting a paycheck."
The importance of this conversation is not which fan is right (though for the record, I stand with and directly next to fan No. 2), but that this conversation is still taking place in 2012.
Twenty-five years after Def Leppard's
album and 13 years, even, since Poison kicked off the '80s amphitheater revival with its 1999 comeback tour, the veteran acts still refuse to either burn out or fade away.
Though neither Def Leppard, Poison, nor opener Lita Ford is likely to put out a new record that'll go platinum (is that a word anymore?), their fans are willing to shell out $50 to spend a perfect summer evening dancing and fist-pumping to back catalogues and reliving decades past, when they did exactly the same, only with bigger hair and fewer bills to pay.
For the most part, the bands delivered as if Hammerjacks were still packing the house on a Tuesday night.
Ford took the stage for a short set at 7 p.m. Though the crowd had not yet filtered in and her four-piece band only had a tiny portion of the stage to work with, she proved she has shaken off any rust that may have accumulated during her lengthy break from performing in the late '90s and '00s. At 53 and incredibly fit, Ford donned a black leather jacket and leather pants that may have been the same pair she wore in her MTV heyday. She strapped on a gigantic white double-neck guitar for the sing-along "Kiss Me Deadly" and closed the set by singing both parts of her duet with Ozzy Osborne, "Close My Eyes Forever."
Poison followed, opening with the traditional first song, "Look What the Cat Dragged In." They ran through all of their hits, including "Unskinny Bop" and "Talk Dirty to Me" as well as two-and-a-half covers, Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band," Loggins and Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" and bits of Rick Derringer's "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo." These guys prefer to rock out to songs about rock.
Of course, Brett Michaels, 49, has also embarked on a second career as a reality TV star, and he was sure to plug an upcoming appearance on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice," all but asking the female-dominated crowd to set their DVRs. Solo career choices notwithstanding, however, Poison is a band better suited to open a show like this than headline. The band simply doesn't have the hits for a full headlining set, as a 50-minute performance sprinkled with covers, guitar solos and drum solos proved.
Def Leppard, on the other hand, has amassed a collection of singles that can rival any group of its era. That's why opening with a new song, "Undefeated," was an odd choice. Typically, the new single marks an opportunity for fans to fork out a few bucks for another drink and find a bathroom mid-set.
But Def Leppard's presence and command of the audience built from a relatively weak start to full steam by about the fifth and sixth songs,
"Animal" and "Love Bites." Singer Joe Elliot, 52, a man who once admitted to shooting needles full of Jack Daniels, now looks like a distinguished British gentleman. Lead guitarist and apparent ab-roller enthusiast Phil Collen, 54, on the other hand, may have the same intense personal trainer as Lita Ford.
The band's audio included plenty of reverb and layered vocals, but their acoustic miniset proved that they didn't need flashy studio wizardry to keep the crowd happy. In fact, drummer Rick Allen, 48, who lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984, got one of the biggest pops of the night when he joined the band on the catwalk during the acoustic set to play a maraca.
The band churned out crowd-pleasers as the night drew toward its conclusion, closing with a string of chart-toppers that included "Hysteria," "Armageddon It," "Photograph" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me."
For the encore, the band launched into "Rock of Ages," without any mention of the play or the film that borrowed its name. Before leaving the stage at the conclusion of the 100-minute set, Elliott made a pact with the crowd, "Until next time — and there will be a next time — do us a favor: don't forget about us and we won't forget about you."
Still rolling indeed.
Jay Trucker is a frequent contributor to Midnight Sun. He teaches at the Community College of Baltimore County in Dundalk and blogs occassionally at WNST.net. He last reviewed Steel Panther at Rams Head Live.

Toyota redesigned the 2014 Corolla to acclaim from some of us, scorn from others. It's also earned scorn from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety on its new overlap front crash test, where it earned a score slightly better than "poor."
The new test is one of the toughest that the IIHS has ever enacted, basically recreating what would happen if a car were crashed at 40 MPH into a light pole. The Corolla got a score of "marginal," which is the second lowest rating that the IIHS offers.
As Cars.com notes, the picture looks pretty bad, but the Honda Civic also looks as bad, and it scored a "good" in the test.
Overall, the Corolla did perform admirably, since it earned a score of "good" in all the other crash tests. It has been named a top safety pick. Still, with more stringent crash tests on the way, automakers will need to be more vigilant than ever.

Customized Car and Boat Vinyl Decals
Won't decals make my car difficult to sell?" or "What if I don't like it a few years down the road?
No problem. Vinyl graphics are easy to apply and easy to remove. Decals are made to last but also made to be removed. That's their beauty. Remember, vinyl decals are NOT tattoos. They are not permanent. You don't need to live with them forever, if you have a change of heart or attitude.
How long do these decals last?
Each graphic is different but the average life span is usually 5-9 years for car & boat graphics. Considering most people don't even keep their cars for 5 years, that's a really long time! But remember… The life-span of a graphic should not determine how long you keep it on your vehicle. When your style changes, change your decal!
Can you help me match the original graphic that is on my vehicle?
We hear it all the time. Often, potential customers come to us to match an existing graphic or pinstriping. Maybe one side of their vehicle was damaged in an accident, or maybe they want to breathe new life into an aging motor home.
Sure, we offer guidance: Go somewhere else lol!
Unless you bought that graphic or striping less than six months ago, we are not the company for you. We are about helping customers discover their personal style. So if you want help with that, we're your company!
Think about it. In all likelihood, someone sitting behind a desk with a degree in engineering probably chose that decal for you vehicle because it was the lowest priced option when they put it out to bid. That decal, or stripe, or 4x4 sticker was chosen at random. It says nothing about you other than that you want to conform to society and not be your own person!
I'm bored with my car… will a decal really change that?
Some people go so far as to buy a new car because they "need a change." They assume that another vehicle will represent them better. But is taking on more debt – because you want to make a personal statement – the right move? Not in our opinion. Why go into debt when you can change your image – subtly or powerfully – simply by adding a bold graphic or sophisticated pinstriping to the car you drive now? Use the savings to buy yourself a new wardrobe!
How many different vehicle decals do you offer?
We offer more than 1000 stock vinyl graphics designs online… all are perfect vinyl graphic decals for your car, truck, van, boat, motorcycle, plane or RV. What's more… we organize our car decals into categories like patriotic designs, flames, and race car graphics... so you can easily find the style you crave.
What if I can't find what I want?
If you can't find the exact style you want, don't fret! We are a full service vinyl graphics shop that can handle all of your custom vehicle graphic needs. Feel free to take a look at the custom jobs we post online. From one color to full color, 3 inches to 3 feet, we can and will customize your vehicle the way you want it. Simply CONTACT US for a free quote.
All of our decals are a great way to add a pop of color and life to whatever space you have. Even if you have no idea where to start, except for the fact that you want vinyl graphics, do not worry! Start by asking yourself these vital questions:
1. Where do I want this? Depending on where you want the vinyl material, it can change what you need. Do you want it on the body of the car, the windows, or both?
2. What do I want to put up? Something subtle or "in-your-face"? The vinyl graphic decal you choose is a personal choice.
3. What is my budget? Your budget plays a big part of what you can purchase. Our handy price tool on the bottom left hand corner can help you keep you on track!
What is the quality of your decals?
All of our car & boat decals are made from high quality self-adhesive vinyl material that can easily be applied to windows, paint, or any other un-waxed smooth surface.
Do I need them professionally installed?
Most likely not. We encourage our customers to install them themselves using our amazing application solution and our online car decal application instructions. You won't believe how easy it is to apply our car & boat decals!
Can you send me a color sample?
We know it is often difficult to determine a color over the computer and we would love to be able to send samples to everyone. However, the manufacturer does not offer samples. If you are having difficulty trying to match something and would like a sample of one or two colors, EMAIL US the following information: Your name, address, email address, color requests. If we have the sample, we will send it out to you. Otherwise, we will email you back if we cannot.
What type of customer support do you offer?
When you need car decals, remember CustomVinylGraphics.com. Our trained staff & designers will help you add impact to your vehicle. Whether you are advertising your business or your style, we're here to help you with top quality vehicle graphics at unbelievably low prices. Simply, call 877-979-2525 or EMAIL US for help.
Do you make custom car decals?
We sure do. We'll need some information to provide a no-obligation quote for you. Please fill out our QUOTE FORM.

As people snacked on Butter's signature homemade chocolates and sipped martinis at the bar, Melissa and I mingled and signed books.
Since the theme of my new book is gaming, I brought a bunch of fun kids' games to put on the tables for guests to play. People got really into it!
Socialite Mina Jacqueline Au and author of Schooled, Anisha Lakhani, play Connect Four.
Britney, Jacob, Benny and Chris play Hungry Hungry Hippos.
I was especially excited that my friend Diana Peterfreund (Secret Society Girl, Rampant) came up from DC for the night. I hadn't seen her in like forever, so it was great to catch up.
Liz Maverick with Diana.
Diana arrived accompanied by the amazing Scott Westerfeld and his wife author Justine Larbalestier and author Maureen Johnson.. I'm such a big fan of Scott's Uglies series and it was great to meet him in person at last. He was so nice and down to earth and approachable. And he told me he'd seen Gamer Girl all over the place while on his book tour. Yay!
Scott even gave us a sneak peak of the steampunk artwork of his upcoming novel Leviathon. OMG we are all in for a treat when this one comes out! I think we have to wait til 2010 though. :(
All in all it was a great night! Couldn't have asked for a better turn-out or a better party. Thanks to everyone who came out and partied with us! Also thanks to Clarins and Lierac for their gift bag donations and Butter for allowing us use of the space.

First, kudos for considering a greener option. With an estimated 82 million cats purring away in U.S. households, a lot of cat poop gets dumped in local landfills. Traditional brands typically contain sodium bentonite (clay) that must be strip-mined, creating a long-term environmental impact. Even low-maintenance silica versions of cat litter are manufactured overseas, making them less than earth-friendly.
To resolve your kitty conundrum, I contacted the experts. Eddie and Hemingway are cats-in-residence at Park Pet Supply in East Atlanta. These two laid-back foster cats add personality, without the funk of untidy litter boxes. Neither feline would consent to an interview. However, store owner Victoria Park graciously offered a little cat litter guidance on their behalf.
Greener options do exist
Eddie and Hemingway use the World's Best Cat Litter, which is made from whole-kernel corn. "It's dust-free," Park says, "and it's awesome with odor control." It's also nontoxic, so there is little health risk if they eat it — not that Eddie or Hemingway would do something so crass. Other top-sellers at Park Pet include Feline Pine, which uses kiln-dried shavings from yellow Southern pine; Swheat Scoop, made from naturally processed wheat and Yesterday's News, made with good, old-fashioned newspaper.
Green really is good for the wallet — and the cat
A 25-pound bag of clay-based cat litter may cost $5, but Park says you can go through a bag much quicker. "Everything [in the litter box] gets wet, you have to throw it out," she says. While a 7-pound bag of World's Best costs about $9.99 at her store, Park says it will serve Eddie and Hemingway for about two months. Also, she notes that clay particles are easily tracked through the house or inhaled. "If cats groom themselves, they can be ingesting that," Park says.
Cats adjust to the litter swap
Park suggests investing in one litter box per cat. Eddie and Hemingway have two boxes strategically placed in the store, just in case one is occupied. To ease the transition in your home, Park suggests placing containers of old and new cat litter side-by-side. Once your cats work through the original litter, replace it with the new stuff. "If the cats won't go near the second box, it might not be the right litter."
Poop is still poop
There are conflicting reports on whether cat poop can be composted, because of potential parasites. "My friends have a shaker box for the Feline Pine," she says. "They shake the pine through and use it for compost," discarding the cat waste.
As for training cats to use the toilet, it may be more trouble than it's worth. Wastewater treatment facilities often lack the means to remove potential parasites. Also, you don't want to deal with that waste coming back to haunt you if the toilet ever floods.
"We fill up [Eddie and Hemingway's] box, scoop out waste and keep it in a biodegradable doodoo bag," Park says. "When we fill that up, then we throw that in the garbage."
Cater to your cat (as usual)
"Eddie likes to balance on the side of the cat box and go," Park says. "He does not like to get his feet in the box until he's ready to cover it. … Hemingway just gets in there and goes." As a result, large, open containers work best for them. Your cats' potty habits will help determine the best litter box to use. "If you make the cat box a happy, enjoyable place for the cats, they are going to be more inclined to use it."

Patients in middle age are to be offered an NHS health check every five years, Gordon Brown will announce today. By 2012, everyone aged 40 to 74 will be entitled to free checks to assess their risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease as part of an extension of patients' rights being proposed by the Government.
I hope you don't mind if I politely decline your offer, Gordon, and suggest that you poke your health checks somewhere snug - sideways. Is that OK with you, chummy?
Now, apart from the obvious question as to why these checks are emphasised as being 'free' in a health service which, as they sell it to us, is very much supposed to be exactly that anyway - how are these checks going to be any different from the usual NHS interactions which I have been avoiding for quite a while now**?
Appointments would generally go something like this:
Doc: (head down, writing notes) So what's the problem?
DP: I've an ingrowing toenail/aching elbow/itchy knob (delete as applicable).
Doc: (not looking up) Do you smoke?
DP: Yes, but ...
Doc: (still not looking up) You shouldn't. It's bad for your health ... (nag for a bit, throw in a few scare stats)
DP: Well, I ...
Doc: (still no eye contact) Here's a prescription for antibiotics. Take twice daily. See the receptionist on your way out for the local smoking cessation service. Good day.
I pay around £4k pa for this exceptional level of 'free' service, a service I no longer use due to the tiresome finger-wagging and hectoring involved, as well as the generally poor reception afforded.
I've tried hinting that the Doc should keep his/her nose out, pointed out that doctors kill quite a few themselves, that sort of thing, all to no avail. So I don't have a regular check up routine anymore.
The last time I was made to, reluctantly, use the NHS was for a compulsory medical related to a licence I needed, as part of this government's policy of requiring us to ask their permission before embarking on any business activity whatsoever. That, of course, wasn't free - I had to pay £75 for it. The procedure lasted approximately 10 minutes (a tasty £450 per hour), or should have done, except that I didn't lie on the question of what I drink at weekends. As a result, the nurse went all wobbly and said she would have to wait for a Doctor to sign it off as I was exceeding government alcohol unit guidelines. As all of them were busy with appointments, I was sat waiting for over 20 minutes in the room - and you won't believe this, but trust me it's absolutely true - with a Chow dog sporting a big white collar round its neck, as nursey had explained at the start that her dog was sick and she didn't have anywhere else to take him ... except a doctor's examination room, natch.
Tempting as such classy care is, I don't feel the need to volunteer for more of the same with Gordon's new initiative. I'm sure there will come a time when I certainly will need the NHS that I pay a barrowload of readies for each month, but it's looking increasingly likely that, by then, they will routinely deny me the treatment for which I have paid, on the spurious grounds that my lifestyle is somehow costing the country money ... after ignoring the many tens of thousands of pounds I have paid into the system since starting work in 1985.
So, Gordon, whilst you may believe this to be a stonking idea, 'free' health checks don't really work for me, sunshine. Unless and until, that is, you instruct GPs and other health professionals to just check me over, fix me if required, and shut the fuck up about my personal choices.
Either that, or you could give me my bloody money back and let me arrange my own health cover with a company who will treat me as the high-paying customer that I am, instead of some burdensome miscreant to be vilified and treated with contempt.
** My fears about the NHS began in the 80s when, following a routine GP check up, I received a letter from the surgery stating that I was pregnant.

Traditional product value chains used to be linear. Now they are fast-moving product development value networks, encompassing an extended ecosystem of partners, suppliers, manufacturers and customers—all influencing the product lifecycle.
We believe that product innovation and product lifecycle management (PLM) is at a point of inflection and discontinuity. Digital enablers and new technology paradigms have become part of the product development and lifecycle management process, utilizing big product data and digital infrastructures. As customers use digital to change the way they interact with products, companies are looking for ways to use digital to develop them.
Accenture Strategy helps companies to seize the digital opportunity from our vantage point at the intersection of business and technology strategy. We define long-term strategies that leverage digital enablers. We align these strategies with corporate vision and goals, and then support with integrated solutions. With more than 25 years of experience working across geographies and industries, we have helped leading companies to improve their product lifecycle management performance, increase R&D efficiency and boost ROI from their R&D investments.

The story of Week 4 was the dramatic comeback of the Detroit Lions over the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. The Lions were being soundly beaten in all three phases of the game and trailed 27-3 in the second quarter. The Cowboys were poised to restore hope in the Lone Star State and serve notice that they could deliver convincing wins against quality opponents. Instead, following consecutive Pick Six plays off passes by Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys proved they remain uniquely positioned to lose games in frustratingly compelling ways. The Cowboys fell 34-30 and headed into the bye week with the same old questions and the same old answers.
The second big story of Week 4 unfolded in Cincinnati where the brash Bengals, led by coach Marvin Lewis, upset the undefeated Buffalo Bills, 23-20. The Bengals held Harvard's Finest (Ryan Fitzpatrick) out of the end zone for the first time all season. With the smartest guy in the room unable to manufacture much offense, the visitors were left to lick their wounds. The Bills should have seen this coming. In 2010, the undefeated Houston Texans took a flight to Cincinnati and returned home without Owen Daniels and without their unblemished record. The Bengals, a team that has come to bank on physical, imposing wins over the Ravens, pushed themselves within striking distance with a 2-2 record.
Ok, maybe the second biggest story of the week was the 49ers surprising win over the Philadelphia Eagles. A few quick things about the Niners: Jim Harbaugh is a Michigan man and he's cut out for this coaching business. He routinely handed Pete Carroll his lunch while both were at Stanford. Jim stole the keys from Pete's Ferrari and drove it all around northern California every time the Cardinal "shocked the world." The 49ers were a team with great expectations in 2010. The failure of Alex Smith to mature was at the root of much of their trouble — and the team seemed to lack mental toughness and depth in the running game. Remember Favre's improbable pass to Greg Lewis in 2009? That was the last time the 49ers were where they thought they should be — until Sunday. The Eagles continue their tailspin, but the story of this game was the resilience of the 49ers; the maturation of Alex Smith; the depth of the Niners running game; and the toughness of a defense shaped by Iron Mike Singletary.
In other news:
- My Steelers stunk up the joint in Houston with a disheartening road kill look-alike game vs. the Texans. Andre Johnson left the game in the 2nd quarter. His injury provided no relief as Arian Foster ran all the way to Knoxville on the Steelers front 7. The Steelers need to bounce back. The Texans need to sustain momentum as they approach the middle of the most physical stretch of games in franchise history (Pittsburgh, Oakland, Baltimore).
- Matt Cassel's ribs have healed. Look for him to make some noise with Breaston and Bowe until defenses figure out that the Chiefs have changed their offensive script for 2011.
- The Redskins are hard on the eyes, but Ryan Torain is a fun player. It would be nice to see Shanahan forego the merry-go-round approach to his running game, but it works. The offense gets yards; the GM gets an expendable player that he can cut at the end of each season. Exit stage left.
- What are the Miami Dolphins doing? Really. If you know, please call them and let them know.
- The Panthers almost won a close one in Chicago. I know you cannot "play the schedule," but I can't help thinking this team is going to start winning some of these close games. Newton continues to impress with his accuracy. Shockey continues to inflame with his tenacity. The refs should have come under fire for that call that took a touchdown off the board.
- The Raiders were simply ROBBED by the referees in the 3rd quarter against the New England Patriots. Officials picked up a flag on 3rd down that would have put the ball at the 1-yard line. Oakland was in the midst of creating a Decision Moment for the Patriots front line. Darren McFadden and Michael Bush were enjoying considerable success on the ground. While nothing is guaranteed, it is likely that Oakland manages to punch that in and draw within a touchdown of the Patriots. The Decision Moment never game; the game never tightened; the Patriots won…and all of this was done with nary an explanation.
- The Packers look like they would run over a nun.
- The Jets are all talk. Funny thing about talking smack — when that's how you derive your identity, you don't always play better by shutting up. You have to talk the talk all the time — even when you can't back it up. And that's when teams go from FEARING you to LAUGHING at you. It's a slippery slope. Another beat down in Foxboro and the Jets will be comedic fodder for the indefatigable New York media.
- It's too bad the Colts don't have Peyton Manning.
Bye weeks begin in Week 5. Not soon enough for Dallas. Too soon for the Ravens. Just in time for the Rams and Browns. Jackson and Hillis could use a little rest before resuming their commitment to deliver pain to defenses around the league. (Through Torain and Hightower in that mix.)
