Hope you caught the 90210 Season Finale! Naomi looked amazing in her green satin dress complete with gold clutch – check out Extinct shop for beautiful vintage version!!
I've been watching 90210 as a bit of nostalgia really – reminiscing of my sister and I watching it the first time round with Shannon Doherty, Luke Perry (swoon – err that's a Vintage swoon – I'm like so eww no way now…) and Iain with the two eyes and big nashers… yes well you can tell it was somewhat of a bitch fest with my sister and I as we so longed for a bit of glam – teenage angst – Hollywood Style… but watching this current "spin off series" (I'm sooooo not buying that – it's a downright copy) and was happy to be lulled along, same big smiles, big bags, big hair etc – nothing really exciting – until this last episode!! And just because of the gold clutch thing! Wow it was about to kick off big time – felt transported back to the good old Beverly Hills days when I wanted to jump right into my mothers gaudy looking convertible and go and follow them all around the streets with my mouth wide open and makin big eyes (that's my shocked look by the way in case you thought I liked to follow people and make strange faces at them) Oh such pleasure and joy! Have to wait now – those crafty beggers for the next installment…..
Bring back the crimpers and the cut off t-shirts and I'll won't know what to do with myself.

Days Of Our Lives Recaps
DAYS Recaps Week of October 1, 2007
Bo arrived at the cemetery, saw Benjy's dead body, and raged. Abe explained that Steve went ballistic earlier, then took off. Abe noted that Stefano was back in the hospital, so he'd posted a guard there. Bo mentioned the missing Roman when EJ arrived and said he might have a way to find him. Before EJ could explain, Bo showed him Benjy's dead body and noted that the DiMeras had killed him. EJ pointed out that the same fate didn't have to await a member of the Bradys, if he and Sami married to end the vendetta. Bo said that Lucas wouldn't let that happen and neither would he, but EJ said Sami had already agreed to it. Bo filled EJ in on the end of the Santo/Colleen story, namely, Colleen committing suicide upon learning Santo was married. EJ was stunned, yet insisted that he had to marry Sami or the vendetta would continue and Roman could die. Abe showed Bo something of Roman's that was found in the grave. Obviously, Roman's body was removed to make room for Benjy's. EJ noted that Roman may have already been released, after Stefano contacted Andre and told him the vendetta was over.
Sami tried to convince Lucas that divorcing him and marrying EJ was the only way to end the vendetta and save her family. Lucas refused to accept the idea and asked Sami if she really wanted EJ and loved him. Sami insisted she loved only Lucas. A distraught Lucas couldn't believe any of this and insisted that they shouldn't let Colleen, Santo and a 50-year-old vendetta affect their lives. Sami wondered if Lucas wouldn't do the same thing to save his family. Lucas said he wouldn't. He loved Sami too much. Sami swore she loved Lucas and promised the marriage would only be temporary until Stefano died. Lucas pointed out that Stefano never died, just continually rose from the ashes. Lucas vowed not to give Sami a divorce and left.
Kate arrived at Stefano's hospital room and asked about Roman. Stefano insisted he knew nothing, then gave Kate some good news. "What would you say if I were to arrange Samantha divorcing Lucas and marrying my son, Elvis?" Kate beamed, as Stefano explained the terms of the vendetta. Outside, Steve arrived, but the cop on guard sent him away.
Inside, Stefano asked about Kate showing her gratitude. Kate promised she would, after seeing the divorce decree. The pair kissed, then heard a ruckus outside. Kate opened the door to find Lucas, who immediately accused her of conspiring to break up his marriage. Kate swore she knew nothing about it. Again, Lucas vowed not to give Sami a divorce and left, as Kate went after him. Meanwhile, Steve returned with a plan. He called Bo and told him he was at the hospital. In the middle of Bo's tirade, Steve handed the phone to Stefano's guard, who heard Bo ordering, "I want you out of that hospital, now. Get your butt down to the cemetery." With that, the cop left and Steve entered Stefano's room.
Sami was sitting alone at the pub when EJ entered. She asked if Roman had been found, and he broke the news that he hadn't. Sami swore she wouldn't marry EJ if her father was not found alive. Suddenly, Andre arrived with a tied-up Roman. Sami raced over, embraced her father, and demanded to know what Andre had done to him. Andre chuckled and suggested Sami see for herself. EJ opened Roman's jacket to find a bomb strapped to his chest.
Kate barged into Lucas's car and begged him to let her explain her
visit with Stefano. Lucas accused Kate of finally getting what she
wanted: ripping Sami out of his life for good. Then, he told her to get
out of his car and his life. When Kate stayed put, Lucas declared his
love for Sami and his realization that Kate would never except it.
Mother and son bickered, and Kate admitted she'd made unforgivable
mistakes with Lucas. Lucas said he wanted the freedom to live his own
life and decide who he wanted in it. Finally, Kate left his car. Lucas
left Sami a phone message declaring his love, when Kate returned,
insisting she had nothing to do with Sami's decision to wed EJ. Lucas
turned a deaf ear, declaring that he was no longer Kate's son or Lucas
Roberts, anymore. He was changing his name to Lucas Horton.
Sami and EJ discussed how to treat the bomb attached to Roman, while
Andre assured them the timer hadn't been activated. EJ informed Andre
that the vendetta was over. Santo's terms had been met. Sami admitted
that she hadn't committed to anything, yet. She did promise Stefano to
marry EJ if her family was safe, but Roman being wrapped up in a bomb
wasn't her idea of safe. Andre phoned Stefano for confirmation, but he
didn't answer. So he gave Sami five minutes to says goodbye to her dear
old dad before he set off the timer. Roman urged Sami to leave, but
she insisted they call Bo.
Hope arrived at the ceremony, where Bo filled her in on the latest:
they'd found Roman's badge in Stefano's grave, but Benji was in the
coffin when they dug it up. Hope was concerned for Steve. Bo admitted
his friend was bent on revenge against Stefano but noted that a guard
was posted at his hospital door.
Bo also explained that he'd ordered Steve to report to the cemetery.
Suddenly, Stefano's guard appeared, noting that he'd gotten there as
fast as he could. The cop explained receiving Bo's orders via phone to
get out of the hospital and to the cemetery. "That's what I said to
Steve," fumed Bo, ordering the cop to phone for backup at the
Steve burst into Stefano's room pointing a gun and declared that he
was going to make him pay for his crimes. Stefano asked what Andre had
done. Steve said that Benji was dead. Stefano was stunned, insisting he
would never have ordered the death of his own son. When Steve refused
to let Stefano push the blame off on Andre, Stefano told him to shoot
him, but warned that the vendetta would continue. Steve went on about
how much he'd loved Benji and was determined to get some justice. Steve
ordered Stefano to get dressed. They were leaving. Steve had something
special planned for him. Steve's phone rang and it was Bo, imploring
him not to hurt Stefano. Steve refused to be deterred and hung up, as
Bo and Hope raced to the hospital.
Bo's cell phone rang and it was Sami, explaining Roman's predicament and
asking what wires to pull to diffuse the bomb. Roman got on the phone
and explained it was too late to do anything. Then, he begged Bo to
convince Sami to save herself by leaving the pub. Bo obliged, as Hope
gasped. On the TV, Steve was holding a gun to Stefano, promising to
kill him unless Andre brought Roman to him, alive. Andre watched from
the pub and pondered what to do next.
Stephanie and Chelsea attended another rush party. Morgan arrived and told the pledges they had work to do to make the cut as new sorority sisters. The girls would partner up, and whichever team raised the most money for Raven House's Women's Shelter would be automatically voted in. Steph and Chelsea headed to The Cheatin' Heart, which was hopping, to brainstorm. Adrienne explained that the big crowd was due to the college football game and bemoaned that her best waitress had called in sick. She asked Chelsea and Steph if they wanted to help out. The gals worked the bar and checked out the guys with Adrienne. It gave Stephanie an idea for a fund-raiser: the one thing every college co-ed would pay top dollar for was a guy. That's what they'd auction off.
Steve sent a message to Andre via live TV: bring Roman to him or Stefano died. As Bo and Hope watched, Bo explained that Andre was at the pub with Roman, who had a bomb strapped to his chest. Hope checked in with the Salem PD to see if an explosion had been reported. It had not. She and Bo prepared to leave, when Lucas arrived looking for Sami.
Bo explained that she was at the pub with Roman, Andre and a bomb.
Hope, Lucas, and Bo headed to the TV station, where Bo ordered the manager to keep the cameras rolling until the hostages were released. Lucas wondered what was taking Sami so long to get there and called her cell, to no avail.
At the pub, Roman yelled for Sami to get out before the explosion, while EJ implored Andre to diffuse the bomb. Finally, Andre did. EJ ordered Andre to call the TV station and tell Steve he'd exchange Roman for Stefano. Meanwhile, at the station, Stefano urged Andre to do as Steve asked and bring Roman there. The phone rang and it was Andre, agreeing to Steve's deal. But before he left the pub, Andre decided to put an end to EJ and Sami. Later, EJ and Sami sat tied up, back-to-back in the pub's kitchen, while gas filled the room. They worked together to inch toward the door. Sami and EJ continued to try to free themselves, as EJ reached for a piece of glass and attempted to cut the ropes binding them.
Back at the TV station, Andre arrived with Roman and noted that he could still set off the bomb. When Bo asked where Sami was, Andre cracked that he'd forgotten her. Then, he taunted Lucas about his upcoming divorce. "Not a chance," retorted Lucas. Stefano reassured Andre that the vendetta was over and Sami and EJ would marry. Andre insisted there would be no wedding. Lucas ordered Andre to tell him what he'd done with Sami. Andre noted that she was most likely a "mere memory" by now. Lucas said he was lying, and Bo asked Roman if it was true. To their shock, Roman nodded and confirmed Sami was at the pub. Lucas ran off to save her. Stefano asked what Andre had done. "What you should have done months ago, when Elvis made his first mistake,"
responded Andre. Stefano scolded him, noting that everything he'd done has been for EJ. A furious Andre wondered why he even tried to save Stefano's life. A scuffle ensued and Andre grabbed Hope and put a gun to her head. Steve countered by putting a gun to Stefano's head, but Andre wasn't impressed. Stefano asked Andre to release Hope, noting this war was over. "This war is over when I say it is," countered Andre, instructing Bo that he'd be dealing with him, now. Bo surrendered his gun to Andre and had Steve release Stefano. Andre announced a change of heart. They could keep Stefano. Then, he took off with Hope.
At the pub, EJ managed to free himself and Sami. He turned off the stove while Sami ran and opened the door. When she returned, EJ was unconscious. Sami stroked EJ's face, begging him to wake up. She couldn't end this vendetta without him. Lucas arrived and couldn't believe what he was watching.
EJ regained consciousness and told Sami how beautiful she is. Lucas was watching their closeness and left without saying a word. Sadly, he missed their spat, as Sami pushed EJ away and declared her undying love for Lucas. EJ wanted to take Sami to the hospital, but she refused his help. So he offered to head to the TV station to see what was going on there. "Like you care about my dad," retorted Sami. EJ swore he did.
Andre headed to the roof with Hope. Bo followed and warned Andre that he'd reached a dead end. Andre said he could always jump with Hope. Downstairs, Roman had the police arrest Steve. Stefano told the cops that Steve held a gun to his head and promised Steve he was going to the state hospital for life. "For what, wanting you dead?" asked Steve.
"Hell, that makes me the sanest dude in Salem." Upstairs, Bo and Hope tried to reason with Andre not to jump. Stefano needed him. Andre said Stefano had no use for him. He'd proclaimed EJ his heir. Bo suggested Andre get payback and offered to help. If Andre testified against Stefano, Bo promised him immunity. Andre wouldn't bite and hopped onto the ledge with Hope. Bo pointed his gun at Andre, and Hope told him to shoot. Bo fired, as Hope elbowed Andre and he fell. Bo pulled Hope to safety, and they shared a kiss.
Paramedics arrived and wheeled Roman off, while Steve and Stefano stayed behind and traded insults. EJ walked in, and Stefano demanded to know what Andre had done to EJ and Sami. EJ filled him in and reported that he and Sami were fine. Stefano couldn't understand why Andre killed Benjy, and blamed himself for failing his father and his children. EJ assured Stefano he hadn't. This was the beginning of a new DiMera dynasty. Sami was about to have twins, twins that would be raised as part of their family. Kayla rushed in to see Steve, who broke the news that Hope had been taken hostage by Andre. Steve apologized for upsetting Kayla. Kayla thought Steve's actions were brave, as the cops hauled him away. Meanwhile, EJ told Stefano that Sami's heart laid with him and asked for Stefano's assistance in separating Sami and Lucas.
At the hospital Sami found Roman, who was happy to see her alive. Sami explained that she and her twins were fine. Sami asked what happened with Andre. Roman noted that he'd taken Hope hostage. "That's not possible. The vendetta is over," whined Sami, insisting that once she married EJ, Stefano would never hurt their family again. Roman was against the idea. Lucas arrived and Sami sensed that something was wrong. Lucas admitted he was worried about the DiMeras raising their twins and asked Sami to leave Salem with him. Sami didn't want to leave Salem. Lucas worried that if Sami married EJ, he'd never let her be his wife again. "Or you won't take me back? Which is it?" asked Sami. Lucas accused Sami of planning something with EJ. Sami swore Lucas was her destiny. "Then don't leave me," he implored. Suddenly, Will appeared and asked if Sami was walking out on them.
Chelsea and Stephanie discussed their date auction and perused a list of frat boys. Max joined them, noting that he was there to ask Adrienne for a job. After noting that she and Jeremy were totally over, Steph explained that she and Chelsea needed volunteers to spend a night with a hot coed. Max was confused, so Chelsea filled him in on their charity auction. Max got it: They wanted to auction him off. Max turned the idea down, then went about asking Adrienne for a job. She hired him. Adrienne brought Chelsea and Steph two beers and offered them The Cheatin' Heart for their bachelor auction. Max joined Chelsea and gave her good news about his job, when Steph raced over and said she had to go — her dad went psycho at the TV station. Max offered to give her a ride.
Later, Bo and Hope were down on the street, wondering if Andre would survive his latest fall. Bo assured Hope she was safe and they could head home. "That monster's still alive and Steve's going to jail...Does it feel like the end to you?" asked Hope. Bo had to admit things were far from over.
Sami was thrilled to see Will back in town, but instead of getting all warm and fuzzy with his mom, he demanded to know if it was true that she was leaving his dad. Lucas explained that Sami was going to marry EJ. Will freaked. Sami said that if she wed EJ, the Brady/DiMera vendetta would be over. Their family would be safe. Will didn't like the idea, but realized Sami was making this sacrifice to protect them and it would only be temporary. Then, he left to give his parents time alone. Sami was glad Will understood. Lucas was glad Will didn't know the whole truth — namely, that there was more to this thing with EJ than saving the family. Sami swore she had no feelings for EJ. Lucas said he'd seen Sami holding EJ at the pub. Sami insisted it was because she thought EJ was dying. Lucas accused Sami of having feelings for EJ. Sami noted that EJ had changed, but that was a long way from her being in love with him. He was a means to an end for her, and she would just be his legal wife. Lucas warned not to take the DiMeras' word for anything. Sami asked Lucas to assure her that he'd wait for her. Instead, he kissed her and said goodbye.
At The Cheatin' Heart, Adrienne chatted with Belle about Shawn's condition. Belle noted that he'd be home soon and went on about how he'd saved her life in the fire. Philip arrived and told Belle the search for Tyler was over. He'd looked everywhere, but it was hopeless.
Lauren swore he'd never find the child, and she wasn't kidding. Philip wondered if Tyler could be dead. Belle refused to believe that and urged Philip not to give up. They would face this together.
Adrienne went to chat with Kayla, who bemoaned Steve losing it again.
Adrienne called Steve a hero for holding a gun to Stefano's head. No matter, Kayla knew there was no jury that was going to let him go free. She explained that Mickey suggested Steve offer an insanity plea, claiming he was overwhelmed by Benjy's death and snapped. Kayla blamed Stefano for everything.
Shawn complained to his nurse about going back to his boring room. She let him go fetch a magazine, and he spotted Lauren. Shawn phoned Philip and told him that Lauren was at the hospital. He had her cornered, but Philip had to come quick. Lauren tried to get away, but Shawn stopped her. Lauren told Shawn he was wasting his time. Tyler was gone. She pushed him to the ground just as Belle and Philip arrived. Philip grabbed Lauren and demanded to know if she killed his son. Lauren swore Tyler was fine, then ran off as cops subdued Philip. Lauren ended up plummeting down the stairwell. Philip screamed for someone to get help.
A cop entered Bo's office, announcing that Steve had been booked. Stefano came in and said Steve was going to spend the rest of his life in jail. Bo left his office and ran into Kayla, who was looking for Steve. Bo said he needed to blow off steam, because Stefano was inside. Kayla urged him to take his time while she confronted Stefano. "Do what Benjy would really want you to do and let Steve go. Be the father that he always wished you could be," challenged Kayla. Stefano refused. Kayla reminded Stefano that she could have pulled the plug and killed him in Italy. Stefano laughed and said she should have. She won't get that chance again. Kayla begged to differ, since she was a doctor and he was a sick man. "You press charges against Steve and you better pray that you don't end up in the hospital, where fatal mistakes can happen so easily," she warned. When Bo returned Kayla said that Steve was going to be fine. She would make sure of it.

Mother of Huron player injured in high school football brawl: 'It's just terrible'
Photo courtesy of Debbie Harris
Previous coverage: One victim sent to hospital, no arrests made after on-field brawl at Huron, Pioneer football game
The mother of the Huron High School football player that went to the hospital following Friday night's brawl at Riverbank Stadium says her son is resting at home, but is feeling the effects of the fight.
Debbie Harris of Ann Arbor said her son, Will Harris, a junior at Huron, was kicked in the face by a Pioneer player and a crutch also was swung at her son during the fight.
"Everything is on tape. We were fortunate to see part of the tape. We do know who exactly kicked and who swung the crutch," Debbie said. "They are two different people, both Pioneer players."
The result of the attack required Will to receive five stitches on his left cheek. He also has numerous scratches that run along the side of his face and down to his neck, and he is experiencing concussion-like symptoms, which the family is monitoring.
Debbie, who watched the incident unfold from her seat in the stands then reviewed the video later, said her son was not involved in the fighting.
"My son did not throw a punch. One of his teammates was involved in a scuffle and (Will) pulled a Pioneer player off of him. He was trying to defuse that situation," Debbie said. "When he fell to the ground is when a Pioneer kid came up and kicked him in the face with a cleat."
Daniel Brenner | Annarbor.com
"These are kids from Pioneer and Huron that he has known his whole life. He's played basketball and football and other sports together (with them for) his whole life. Yeah, they compete against each other, but they're friends," Debbie said.
The fight started after the Pioneers defeated Huron 35-6. As the Huron head coach Cory Gildersleeve and Pioneer head coach Paul Test met at midfield for their post-game handshake, a fight broke out between the two teams that involved players and coaches.
Test and Gildersleeve have each given different accounts of what exactly started the physical contact between the two schools, igniting the brawl.
Debbie said that her family has received lots of support from coaches and administrators at Huron. They've called to check on Will's condition.
As much as the physical pain is bothering Will, the ugliness of the incidents is also hurtful.
"My son is upset and embarrassed for his team and school," Debbie said.
Harris would not say if the family will be taking legal action following the injuries sustained by Will.
"Its just terrible, it's a terrible thing that happened at a kids game," Debbie said. "Some of them are big and grown and look like men, but they are kids. This is a kid's game.
"When did it come to this? When did it become more than a football game?
"They came to our field and substantially beat us. Just shake hands and go home."

Located in a town on the shore of Lake Michigan, Kenosha apartments for rent make a great home for those seeking to take advantage of the laid-back conditions in this bustling port city. There are many historic districts and vibrant neighborhoods here, which come together to make Kenosha one of the most desirable cities in southeastern Wisconsin. The city has a decidedly college town vibe, which the 99,000 residents believe makes their home a great place to live.
Kenosha apartments for rent are desirable housing options for both families looking for a tranquil environment and professionals who seek easy access to large cities like Milwaukee and Chicago while living outside of the metropolitan area. Kenosha's name means "place of the pike" in a Native American language, and after its inception, the city became one of the most important shipping hubs on Lake Michigan. Since Kenosha was incorporated in 1850, it has experienced a steady growth and identity as an important regional business hub. Along with these opportunities come numerous choices for entertainment and leisure. Top area attractions you can visit while living in apartments in Kenosha include the Civil War Museum, Dinosaur Discovery Museum and Washington Park Velodrome.
Kenosha apartments for rent are very desirable housing options for those relocating to the city. There are properties located both close to the lake and near the downtown district, but all neighborhoods here are pretty affordable and offer residents different living experiences. According to AreaVibes, Kenosha's cost of living index is very consistent with the national average, which led the website to award the city a "Very Livable" livability score of 73.
When living in Kenosha apartments, you will have no problem finding amenities and necessities, as there are more than 15 options for groceries, shopping, food and drink and schools within the city limits. The source noted that in Kenosha, residents can expect to pay $3.84 for a gallon of gas, $1.98 for a gallon of milk, $1.32 for a loaf of bread and $1.19 for a dozen eggs.
With a large labor force and low land prices, Kenosha is an attractive environment for businesses. According to the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, the city has job openings in many different industries, including healthcare, local government, education, retail and automobiles. The top employers in town include Kenosha Unified School District No. 1, DaimlerChrysler, United Hospital System, Snap-on Inc., Aurora Medical Center, Kenosha County, the City of Kenosha and Prime Outlets.
Kenosha's opportunities for higher education are plentiful. Those seeking a state university can attend the University of Wisconsin, Parkside, which is one of the 13 campuses in the University of Wisconsin system. Carthage College is also here, and offers students a four-year education in more than 50 areas of study. Rounding out the list of local colleges is Gateway Technical College, where students can receive a technical education in many relevant, modern industries. These institutions make Kenosha apartments ideal for students.

In today's video, Revd. Dr. David Wenham discusses how defending the Truth of scripture doesn't always require an ultra-literalistic interpretation.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In today's video, Revd. Dr. David Wenham discusses how defending the Truth of scripture doesn't always require an ultra-literalistic interpretation.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
When addressing the science and faith dialogue, one of the first things we must look at is how we interpret scripture. In today's video, Nancey Murphy discusses the importance of narratives as a tool for the ancient writers to teach theological truths, especially about the nature of creation.
In today's video, theologian Chris Tilling discusses biblical genre and the relational truth of Scripture. Tilling notes that when we read the Biblical text, we bring our own presuppositions and assumptions to the text (what theologians call "eisegesis").
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
In this video "Conversation," Pete Enns addresses some assumptions about ancient readers and writers that are relevant to the way we should read Genesis in the 21st century.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question, "If you take Genesis in a non-literal fashion, especially the creation stories, why take anything in the Bible literally—such as the Gospels? Do you take the Gospels literally?"
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
In this video, Os Guinness engages the dialogue about how Christians read scripture, and he points out the common misconception that reading scripture literally is equivalent to reading scripture faithfully.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
In this video conversation, Pete Enns sheds light on the key difference between the ancient and modern mind with regard to interpretation of texts. A literal understanding of Genesis from an ancient mindframe would not necessarily be the same as what we now think of as a literal reading.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.

We have seven positions that have been tweaked and tailored by sex experts to help you reach orgasm every single time plus, a few extra tricks so the road to bliss is even more of a sure thing.

Page 1 of 9
When it's a mind-blowing, bed-rattling orgasm you're after, keeping it simple is absolutely key. Sure, wild, crazy, never-knew-my-body-could-bend-that-way booty keeps your lust life exciting, but if the goal of the moment is to break pleasure records, you have to stick to the basics. "Trying to accomplish complicated acrobatics distracts you from the sex itself, putting your focus on how you can contort yourself, rather than on just experiencing the sensations," explains sex educator Dorian Solot, coauthor of
I (Heart) Female Orgasm.
"When you want to climax, the simplest positions are often also the
best positions
, and with a few modifications, you can make them even more orgasm inducing than they already are." Don't worry, we'd never leave you hanging. Here, Cosmo custom-designed some of the carnal classics to make sure you always hit the high notes.

Lets Suppose....
Posted 21 September 2007 - 02:07 PM
As I look at this schedule, I can't in any way see us winning more than 5 games if everything remains the same as listed above. We have 4 games with the Fish and Bills. At best we'll split those 4 and that gives us 2 wins. The record is now 2-4. We'll probably win either the Giants or Philly game, but definitely not both and maybe not either but let's say we win one of those two. The record now is 3-5. Cincy, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Tennessee and New England are all losses which brings us to 3-10 with 3 more games to figure out. KC, The Browns & Washington are all that's left. Can we win all 3, sure, but again keeping in mind the problems listed above and the History of the Jets, we will probably beat KC and lose to the Skins and Browns which brings us to a final mark of 4-12.
Now before everyone freaks out saying we won't lose this game or that game, this is just a scenario, one of many possibilities. What I want to ask you now based on this scenario is...
What would happen in the off-season. Would Mangini lose his job, would players be traded, would we keep the 3-4 or go back to the 4-3? What position would we draft with a guaranteed top 3 pick in next year's draft? DT, DE, LB, OL, RB, QB?
Howie Long's kid is coming out as a DE and Glenn Dorsey a true stud at DT with other stud players rounding out the top 10. What would you do?
Try not to come up with excuses why this won't happen, try to play it like it will and what decisions would you make if you were the GM or owner?
Posted 21 September 2007 - 03:57 PM
no way.
Posted 21 September 2007 - 05:10 PM
a leopard never changes his spot so Mangini would continue exactly as he is looking for cheap players
and releasing anybody he doesn't want at the drop of a hat. I don't think they really want a big fat NT on tyhe team. But players who can morph to any situation which where we are today waiting for the morph to materialize.
Posted 21 September 2007 - 06:14 PM
I would fully expect to hit the draft and hit it hard. Mangini took a step back in this years draft because we had to trade up to fill major voids. I would expect DRASTIC things to happen as far as the team is concerned. Perhaps letting loose of D.Rob and Vilma and having a good strong draft. D.T, LG, LB the first 3 taken
I would expect Mangini and Tanny to find a replacement for Sutton. ASAP!
But this is all hypothetical as I think this Sunday is our 1 st game of a 4 to five game streak. I had to throw that in there.
Posted 21 September 2007 - 07:43 PM
stop it. stop ittttttt
Down to Earth?
Posted 21 September 2007 - 08:07 PM
Santana has been getting into Grandpa's old cough medicine. Don't mind him
Posted 22 September 2007 - 03:51 AM
1. Keep Mangini, I think the only mistake he has made (although continuous) is give a shot to the players that Herm and Bradway left him for 1 reason. The players we all moan about being poor fits just happen to be the most expensive players against the cap.
2. We stick with the 3-4 and get a NT, we cannot be held to randsom by Robertsons contract anymore. Every 3-4 team has a big space eating NT that the whole thing revolves around.
3. I trade Vilma (it pains me to say this) for a low first rounder because by the end of this season we will be lucky to get even that. He isn't built for this defence which I am adamant we should keep. I think this is the best thing for him too. We are killing his and Robertsons careers playing 3-4 in New York.
4. Aquire an experienced 3-4 MLB to help with the grooming of Harris.
5. Try and get a guard with the vilma pick. We need some Road Graders, either that or switch to the Denver style zone blocking.
6.I think sooner or later we are going to need an upgrade at the following too.
Right Tackle (
Slot reciever (McCaerins drops on Sunday made me think of Chrebet, a slot reciever doesn't have to be a quick guy with a 40" verticle, just don't drop the damn football.)
Free Safety (Eric Coleman Kills me with his constant nodding off in Zone)
Tight End (His number rarely gets called over the full season, this might change when Clemens plays but until that time I am going to think the coaches don't feel that strongly for him)
Posted 22 September 2007 - 10:57 AM
Tight End (His number rarely gets called over the full season, this might change when Clemens plays but until that time I am going to think the coaches don't feel that strongly for him)
Cause he is helping block all the time. When the ball goes his way, he comes up with it.

Papal intentions for November: That priests who experience difficulties may find comfort in their suffering, support in their doubts, and confirmation in their fidelity. That as fruit of the continental mission, Latin American Churches may send missionaries to other Churches.Papal intentions for December: That children who are victims of abandonment or violence may find the love and protection they need. That Christians, enlightened by the Word incarnate, may prepare humanity for the Savior's coming.

"I heard the rabbi is dying of brain cancer."
That was the word flying around the shul. I should have expected it. Rumors were rife, and they were uncomfortably close to the truth.
Last Oct. 23, I was speaking at the University of Pennsylvania, to inaugurate the new Hillel building on campus. At dinner, I sat beside my parents.
As I spoke, I felt a little strange, nervous and hot. I had trouble keeping to my train of thought. It occurred to me that I was coming down with a cold.
As I sat down after my speech, my father asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No," I said, and that is the last thing I remember.

In the United States, the term bilingual education generally refers to programs that provide support to students with limited English proficiency. Some of these programs teach academic subjects in the students' home language (usually Spanish) while also requiring language-minority students to take classes in English as a second language (ESL). Other programs aim to teach English to language-minority students by immersing them in English-only classes. Still others are two-way, or dual-language, programs that aim for fluency in two languages—for example, such a program might simultaneously teach Spanish to English-speaking students and English to Spanish-speaking students. These major approaches have several variations, and districts and schools may use a combination of them.
Thus, when people argue over bilingual education's effectiveness or ineffectiveness, they could be discussing different forms of bilingual education. In public debate, however, bilingual education usually refers to transitional bilingual education (TBE), which provides native-language instruction to non-English-speaking students in preparation for their eventual learning of English in mainstream classes. The goal of these programs is to help students become fluent in English.
In the United States, bilingual education in its modern form began in 1968 with Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which provides federal funding to schools to help them meet the needs of children with limited English-speaking ability. Title VII, also called the Bilingual Education Act, was born out of the civil rights movement, which, among other things, sought to strengthen economic, political, and social opportunities for minorities. The Bilingual Education Act, together with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, was expected to help change attitudes toward immigrant groups and ease resistance to ethnic languages.
The Bilingual Education Act resulted in the implementation of TBE programs in more than half the states, particularly in districts and schools that had large immigrant (most often Hispanic) populations. TBE programs, in which students are instructed in their native language before being taught English, revived a trend from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when bilingual education thrived among the early European settlers who sought to have children instructed in their mother tongue. In 1968, however, bilingual education was envisioned as a way to help Spanish-speaking children who had limited or no skills in English and were doing poorly in school.
Support for bilingual education
Advocates of bilingual education marshal a variety of arguments in its defense. Key supporters of bilingual education—among them academics like Kenji Hakuta of Stanford University, Colin Baker of the University of Wales, Stephen Krashen of the University of Southern California, and Jim Cummins of the University of Toronto—emphasize the effectiveness of using students' native language as a resource in learning a second language. They maintain that the use of the students' home language helps keep them from falling behind their fellow students while learning English. They claim that the first language serves as a bridge on learning, and that knowledge acquired in one language transfers to the other language. This means that a child who is not fluent in English but is fluent in Spanish will learn English easily because he has already learned the foundational processes in the first language. The "knowledge-transfer" hypothesis rests on the premise that the process of reading is similar across languages, even though the languages and writing systems are different. As professor of education Stephen Krashen, author of Under Attack: The Case Against Bilingual Education, explains,
When schools provide children quality education in their primary language, they give them two things: knowledge and literacy. The knowledge that children get through their first language helps make the English they hear and read more comprehensible. Literacy developed in the primary language transfers to the second language. The reason is simple: Because we learn by reading, that is, by making sense of what is on the page, it is easier to learn to read in a language we understand. Once we can read in one language, we can read in general.
Notice that Krashen uses the word quality; it is a word that practitioners of bilingual education often emphasize. They maintain that the most effective bilingual education programs are two-way bilingual programs. Such programs aim to teach both native speakers of Spanish and native speakers of English, attending the same classes, academic subjects in both languages. The students initially receive 90 percent of instruction in Spanish and 10 percent in English, and then the amount of English increases with each grade. Supporters of these programs point to studies, such as the one by researchers Wayne P. Thomas and Virginia Collier at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, that document the effectiveness of two-way bilingual programs. Thomas and Collier reviewed student records from 1982 to 2000 and found that English-language learners do better academically over the long term if English is introduced slowly instead of being submerged in intensive English instruction in a regular classroom. They conclude that two-way bilingual programs are "the only kinds of programs that fully close the achievement gap between Englishlanguage learners and native English-speakers over the long term."
Most advocates of transitional bilingual education also believe that quality entails a long transition period, which is defined as the period during which a student is taught academics in his or her native or home language before being transferred to mainstream English-only classes. Colin Baker of the University of Wales, who has done an extensive review of studies that measure the effectiveness of bilingual education, calls such programs "stronger forms of bilingual education."
To advocates, quality bilingual education further requires welltrained, accredited bilingual teachers who effectively take charge of their classes. Finally, supporters of bilingual education maintain that effective native-language instruction requires parents' consent and participation, low teacher-student ratios, adequate school facilities, administrative support, and other enabling factors.
The National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), a major advocacy organization, admits there are existing bilingual education programs that do not meet the above requirements. James J. Lyons, former NABE executive director, mentions a few of them:
Some are bilingual in name only, staffed by monolingual English-speaking teachers with no professional preparation. . . . In a few instances, students have been assigned to bilingual education on the basis of an educationally irrelevant criterion such as surname. . . . In some localities, LEP [limited English proficient] students have been assigned to bilingual-education programs without the informed consent and choice of their parents.
Lyons argues that the existence of such malpractices does not warrant the elimination of a whole range of effective programs and the wholesale dismissal of the bilingual education policy.
What the critics say
Critics of bilingual education maintain that the best way of teaching English to non-English speakers is not to instruct them in their home language but instead to immerse them in English. They often look to Canadian total French immersion, the approach adopted by Montreal, Canada, in teaching French to English-speaking, middle-class children. Under this program, native-English speakers start school entirely in French, with English introduced gradually. By the end of elementary school, most students become fluent in French, exhibit competence in English, and do well academically. The approach, which gained instant popularity, spread all throughout Canada and has become a model for other countries.
Critics of bilingual education in the United States find fault with the lengthy transition period during which Spanish speakers are immersed in their mother tongue before they move to the mainstream classes where they start learning English. They say that under established rules, the transition should only take three or four years, but that this rarely happens; in many cases, children stay with the mother tongue up to seven years, which, critics maintain, amounts to wasted time and lost opportunity.
Opponents also point out the lack of bilingual teachers nationwide, which renders existing bilingual programs questionable. Susan Headden, writing in U.S. News & World Report, comments, "Poorly trained teachers further complicate the picture. . . . The paucity of qualified candidates has forced desperate superintendents to waive some credentialing requirements and recruit instructors from abroad. The result is teachers who themselves struggle with English."
Most importantly, critics of bilingual education attribute much of the 30 percent high-school dropout rate among Hispanic children to their confinement to Spanish-only classrooms. They observe that the dropout rate is highest among ethnic groups, and that it has not decreased after many years of implementing bilingual instruction.
California's Proposition 227
It was in reaction to these deficiencies that Proposition 227 was introduced in California in 1998. The initiative, which aimed to drastically restrict bilingual education in public schools and promote English-only instruction instead, was spearheaded by Ron C. Unz, a wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur. Unz believes that English is vital to scholastic achievement, economic success, the speedy integration of immigrants into society, and the preservation of national unity. Californians approved Proposition 227 with a 61 percent vote. According to a report by Kathleen Wilson and Jean Cowden Moore in the Ventura County Star, since the passage of Proposition 227 local school districts in California have reduced the number of students who are learning in Spanish to just 11 percent, down by almost twothirds from 1997.
After his initiative was passed, Unz went on to spearhead a campaign called "English for the Children," which aims to make English the sole medium of instruction in public schools. Unz's campaign has won a few victories outside of California. Denver and Chicago have increased the amount of English instruction and limited TBE programs to three years. In 2000 Arizona, inspired by California's example and helped by Unz's resources, ended bilingual education. In 2002 Massachusetts approved a similar initiative against bilingual education. On the national level, various bills have been, albeit unsuccessfully, introduced in Congress either to end, reform, or restrict the federal role in bilingual education.
Indefinite research leads to politicization
With restraints on bilingual education gaining momentum, the debate has become more intense. In the above-mentioned states that have legislated on the issue, both the pro-bilingual education camp and the pro- English camp have wooed politicians and advocacy organizations and raised large sums of money to support their cause.
Listening to the arguments of the two sides, it is easy to see that both have some valid points. However, research on the effectiveness of bilingual education, which should provide objective evidence to decide the issue, has not clearly determined which approaches work best. The relevant research over the past twenty years has been ambivalent: There is a substantial body of research that points to bilingual education's effectiveness, but there is also evidence indicating that English immersion is effective and that TBE programs may inhibit scholastic achievement. Professor of education Colin Baker attributes the contradictory research to the differing political agendas of those who favor and oppose bilingual education, which may influence the work of research institutions and individual researchers. Richard Rothstein, an analyst at the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., attributes the mixed results to the difficulty in measuring school achievement and isolating the individual factors that lead to it.
Without a final word on the subject, the debate between advocates and critics of bilingual education has become politicized. Many times, discussions have been conducted under the sponsorship of special-interest groups. Often, decisions have been made depending on who is in power in Washington, in the state capital, or the district. Bilingual education has been discussed alongside such volatile issues as nationalism, racism, immigration, and adoption of English as the official language of the United States as well as minority rights, cultural diversity, and the goals of education itself.
Lobby groups and ethnic activists
Many supporters of bilingual education view the opposition to it as part of a nationwide movement to make English the official language of the United States and to restrict the use of ethnic languages. Advocates name two major organizations as the nemesis of bilingual education—U.S. English and English First—both of which advocate for the legislation of English as a national language and the adoption of government limits on the use of other languages.
U.S. English was founded by [U.S. former] Senator S.I. Hayakawa [of California] in 1983 to push for a constitutional amendment to make English the official language on both federal and state levels. However, critics of U.S. English view it as a racist lobby that aims to ban the use of ethnic languages. Pro-bilingual supporters note that two organizations funded by U.S. English—the Learning English Advocates Drive and Research in English Acquisition and Development—are at the forefront of campaigns seeking to reduce the scope of bilingual education in schools.
Commenting on the profile and history of U.S. English, journalist Andrew Phillips says the organization ran into controversy in the late 1980s after some leaders complained publicly that "Hispanics were breeding too fast." As a result, the organization was discredited and its officials were accused of racism. U.S. English claims it recovered in the late 1990s when its membership rose to 1 million and it had an annual budget of $15 million.
The second organization that supports English as an official national language is English First. Supporters of bilingual education often connect the organization to right-wing politicians, pointing out that it was once headed by Larry Pratt, founder and head of the lobby group Gun Owners of America, who later became adviser to former presidential contender Pat Buchanan.
Countercharges from official-English groups English-only proponents hurl back to the other camp similar charges, claiming that left-wing cultural activists are using the bilingual education debate to promote the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. Critics also argue that educators may wrongly support bilingual education in order to preserve the jobs of bilingual instructors. As John R. Silber, chancellor of Boston University, declares,
Bilingual education is the interest of only two groups: one, bilingual educators, who face unemployment from the judgment of the people, and two, ethnic nationalists, for whom the preservation and exaltation of immigrant language at the expense of English gives important political advantages to their English-speaking spokesmen. We must stop sacrificing the interests of our children to these two groups.
Ron C. Unz attributes the staying power of bilingual education to vested interests and what he calls the silence of the media. He says,
In this vast cavern of embarrassed media silence, the views of the overwhelmingly many were easily shouted down by the voices of the tiny but committed few. The story of the growth and entrenchment of these bilingual education programs constitutes a truly impressive and most remarkable illustration of the powerful dynamics of special-interest group politics.
In 1999 English-only proponents and the official-English movement gained a major victory when the House of Representatives finally passed a law mandating English as the country's official language. It was on this occasion that House Speaker Newt Gingrich declared, "Without English as a common language, there is no [American] civilization." The Senate, however, has not passed the legislation.
The claims and counterclaims, the accusations and rebuttals, are repeated again and again in various forums and media. In the absence of definitive research on whether bilingual education helps or harms students, the politicization of the bilingual education debate will certainly continue. With more state ballot initiatives on the issue expected to gain momentum in the coming years, the debate over bilingual education versus English-only classrooms will be hugging the headlines for the foreseeable future.

I have never made much candy come the holidays. I make baked goods, but not a lot of candy. I have made peanut brittle and peanut clusters and caramel, but that's about it. I wanted to find a recipe for toffee of some sort. So I did a search and came up with this Almond Roca recipe. Oh. goodness.
It tastes just like the real thing that you buy in the canister. It was so easy as well. So easy that I wasn't sure I did it right. That's it? I thought. Yup. So make loads of this and give it to your neighbors and co-workers. You'll be their favorite person.
Now this isn't break-your-tooth toffee. It's a softer hardness. Not caramel-y, don't get confused. It's hard, but a soft hard.
Just make it and you'll get it.
1 lb. butter (not margarine)
Over Medium heat, melt butter in a large pot. Add corn syrup, water and sugar to pot and cook until temp reaches 290 degrees (about 15-20 minutes), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (mixture will rise and bubble quite a bit).
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 of the almonds. Turn mixture onto a greased cookie sheet WITH EDGES! While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low heat until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth. Don't burn it. Pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining almonds and allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden. I put mine in the fridge overnight.
Break apart and serve.
Note: I used a 9x13 dish. Don't do this. See how thick my candy is? Next time I will use a cookie sheet so it's thinner. If you want thick chunks, use the 9x13.

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
LILLINGTON - When asked to describe County Seat Sports Grille, owner Sharona Stokes has to pause for a moment.
It's part restaurant, tucked in a historic building that's been lovingly preserved. It's also a sports bar, complete with walls of big-screen TVs and college decorations.
It's a place where diners at one table might enjoy prime rib, while their neighbors chow down on country cooking, and another table loads up on potato skins and chicken wings.
And all of them have a great time.
If it sounds as if County Seat is trying to be all things to all people, Stokes said there's a good reason for that.
"I knew that if we limited ourselves, we wouldn't make it here," she said. "So we opened ourselves to what people in Lillington and around here need in a restaurant.
"We had two things that we felt would be true: First, if you come here and enjoy yourself, you'll come back.
"And second, with a building like this, you don't get in the way of atmosphere."
County Seat sits in a building that once held the town's only drugstore. It also has been the site of a few less-successful dining establishments. County Seat hopes to avoid the same mistakes by appealing to a variety of customers.
For example, there's a gleaming 27-seat bar, fully stocked. But the TVs aren't cranked up to annoy patrons in the more traditional dining areas.
The menu offers a wide variety of options, as well, many sorted by sports themes. Appetizers, listed as "kick-off" items, run from $5.99 to $6.99, and dinners with two sides, called "main events," generally run from $8.99 to $14.99.
Each workday, County Seat offers lunch specials (called "pit stops") from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A sandwich or wrap, plus side, costs $7.29. Fresh-made salads run from $5.99 to $7.99.
Surprisingly for a sports-themed menu, you'll find a lot of country cooking. How many sports bars offer deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese and pickled beets?
"People in this community love good country cooking," Stokes said. "So do we.
"The community has needed a place like this for a long time," she added. "And this building is the perfect place to be. We just let people come - and let the building do the rest."

0 Triumph Herald's For Sale
About Herald
The Triumph Herald was a British car built between 1959 and 1971 during which time it sold more than half a million units and was used as the basis for a number of concurrent and subsequent models from this manufacturer.
The Herald was produced in order to offer motorists a moderately sporty and relatively affordable two door vehicle which would be a suitable replacement for the outgoing generation of Triumphs produced earlier in the decade.
It was designed in Italy and was initially intended to be sold under the Standard banner, but once it became clear that Triumph was an increasingly respected brand this plan was dropped.
The car was launched with a price tag of Ј700 and a top speed of 70mph. A 0-60 time of 31 seconds was about average for the time and it did not exactly set the world alight in terms of critical acclaim or sales.
The Herald 1200 was launched in the early 1960s after a successful takeover by Leyland Motors Ltd, with the larger engine giving the new model a bit more power than its predecessor.
The Herald was encountering stiff competition at around this time, with rival models like the Mini making the market far tougher than it had been a few years earlier. However, the Herald managed to expand its market share thanks in part to popular models like the four seat convertible.
In 1963 the Herald 12/50 arrived, with a 51bhp engine and disc brakes at the front to add to its sportier image.
Four years later the Herald range was revised once more with the arrival of the 13/60 which first appeared in 1967.
Saloon, convertible and estate iterations were produced and the 1.3 litre engine delivered 61bhp to give it more power than ever.
The Herald was killed off in the early 1970s because by this point it had become too expensive to produce without having to sell it at a loss, despite the fact that it was still moderately popular in the UK.
Its chassis was used in various other Triumph cars, including the iconic Spitfire, so it was influential long after its demise.
