The Voice
The Voice Season 6: Who is on Team Blake?
After losing Season 5 to Adam Levine, Blake Shelton initially had a hell of a time getting artists to choose him as their coach. Nevertheless, he managed to sway some talented artists to pick him — after all, he still has three wins to his name! Here are the artists on Team Blake.
Jake Worthington, 17, — La Porte, Texas
Jake Worthington made his first appearance on the show in Season 5, singing "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" by The Georgia Satellites. After being advised to work on his breath control and perhaps pick a slower song, the La Porte teen returned a second time, with a mid-tempo country classic: "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Keith Whitley. Three chairs turned, but Jake's heart is pure country, so it's no surprise he hopped on the Blake train.
Noah Lis, 22 — Palmer, Massachusetts
This young crooner was swayed to Team Blake probably due to his winning past and his connections with Michael Buble. The Massachusetts native, who attends Westfield State College as a music major, styles himself after old school singers like Frank Sinatra, but Blake promises to "roughen up" Noah Lis's vocals a little and make him more versatile as an artist.
Megan Ruger, 26 — Twin Lakes, Wisconsin
Originally from Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, Megan Ruger may hail from Nashville these days, but she's a rocker chick at heart. Nevertheless, the Nashville drum beats strongly for this one, because she couldn't help but choose Blake as her coach.
Ryan Whyte Maloney, 33 — Traverse City, Michigan
With a healthy love of 80s power ballads, Ryan Whyte Maloney and Blake are a match made in heaven.
Audra McLaughlin, 21 — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Blake almost didn't turn for Audra McLaughlin, since her audition song was one he first heard his wife sing. However, Audra met the high bar he was using to measure her performance.
Lexi Luca, 17 — Wellington, Florida
We didn't get to see much of Lexi sing during the Blind Auditions, but she chose a song by Season 3 winner Cassadee Pope, so it's no surprise Blake chose her.
Cali Tucker, 28 — Arrington, Tennessee
Cali Tucker is country royalty. The niece of legendary singer Tanya Tucker, is it any wonder she's repping Team Blake?
Sisaundra Lewis, 44 — Orlando, Florida
Sisaundra Lewis and Blake may seem an unlikely pairing, but she chose him based on finding she had the best connection with him over the other three coaches. Can't win 'em all, Adam!
Ria Eaton, 19 — Billerica, Massachusetts
We are looking forward to hearing more of Ria Eaton's enchanting voice!
Paula DeAnda, 24 — San Angelo, Texas
Paula DeAnda's looking for a second shot after once being signed to Arista Records under the legendary Clive Davis. Could be a ringer, y'all!
Alaska, 19, and Madi, 18 — Tulsa, Oklahoma
Blake compared Alaska and Madi to his wife's band, Pistol Annies, and from there it was pretty much a lock for these fellow Oklahomans.
Kaleigh Glanton, 20 — Wichita, Kansas
Kaleigh Glanton seemed to be vibing with Shakira, but ultimately went with Blake, becoming his 12th and final team member.

He didn't invent it, but he did formalize parts of it and added to the notation. At any rate, the papers are there, and are what was asked for. Read them or don't. <shrug>

Yeah, I know its not yet even Christmas. But I'm trying to get myself motivated to improve my life/lifestyle. I've been without abike for a while now. But in preparation for picking my newly build up Giant OCR 3 frame(105 derailers, Tiagra shifter, Reynolds solitude Wheels, FSA Gossamer Compact Crank) next week, I figured a good way to help keep me on track with my bike and wieght loss goals would be to put it out publicly.
So here are my goals:
1) Loose 40 pounds (gets me under 190).
2) Ride 2,000 miles - this is huge for me as I've never gotten over 750 in a year for various reasons
3) Ride 3 centuries
What are your goals for the next year?

Buckcherry puts focus on rock 'n' roll
Published: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 8:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 8:10 a.m.
Buckcherry might have been bigger had it not broken up in 2000, after the Grammy-nominated success of its 1999 self-titled debut album and hits "Lit Up" and "Ridin.'"
Who: Buckcherry, with The Virgin Mary's, Exilia and Eight Foot Stride
When: 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show, hursday, April 10
Where: Ziggy's by the Sea, 208 Market St., downtown Wilmington
Tickets: $28
Details: 910-769-4096 or
After a five-year hiatus and re-forming with three new members in 2005, the group, which plays Ziggy's by the Sea in downtown Wilmington on Thursday with three other bands, did better than ever. It had its biggest album, the platinum "15" in 2006, and biggest singles – the double-platinum, Top 10 "Crazy Bitch" in 2006 and platinum "Sorry" in 2007. "Sorry" was nominated for another Grammy.
The band's newest album, 2013's "Confessions," didn't do quite as well, but still was Top 10 on the rock chart.
"We got (back) together basically in 2005, and it was a pretty quick conversation," co-founder and lead guitarist Keith Nelson said. "Basically, it was also pretty simple: If we're going to do this again, we have to do it our way."
And what does "our way" mean for the band from Los Angeles?
"Exactly what you're hearing and seeing from us: A rock 'n' roll band playing rock 'n' roll music," Nelson said.
"In the long run, it definitely served us to have those two incarnations and go-arounds," he added. "We're really finding our unique voice in the landscape of rock 'n' roll. As far as our sound, it's just rock 'n' roll."

Shady Grove, which serves my new favorite condiment: jalapeno ranch dip. Cue Homer Simpson-style slobberfest. The day was basically a 12 out of 10 on the fun-o-meter. Toby and Audrey, consider this my plea for you two to get your derriere's back here in Austin asap.
On Sunday, I took one of the most important steps in my life: I got baptized in Town Lake, surrounded by my family and friends, our Church elders, and the family and friends of 7 other people making that commitment to Christ. After the (rather emotional) baptism, and coming out of the water reborn in Christ with boogers all over my face, some people asked me if I felt different now. I don't, really. For me, it wasn't so much a feeling as it is an examination of who I am, what I believe, and how to make a difference in this world. It's a proclamation of a spiritual journey put into action, an on-going process. There's a lot I want to change about myself, a lot I need to do. Bottom line: I am uber-psyched about making this commitment to God, and am ready for the trials, tribulations, grace, and joy that come along with it.
So....to wrap up the weekend recap on a lighter note, check out my cute manicure!! It's a modern revamp of the classic French manicure, and I'm kinda obsessed. It's also really easy to do if you have those handy little nail tip stickers. I think they were maybe $2 at CVS. Worth the investment. Just a warning, though: make sure nails are REALLY dry when you put those on. When it was time to take two of them off, it was off with their heads....the polish and strip came off together. Aside from that, no problemos whatsoever!

WATCH: Rape Victim Amanda Collins Speaks Out After Colorado Lawmaker Says a Gun Would Not Have Stopped Her Attacker
A Democratic lawmaker in Colorado is drawing criticism after telling a rape victim that the attack against her would have been worse if she had been carrying a gun at the time. State Sen. Evie Hudak told Amanda Collins "statistics are not on your side even if you had had a gun." Hudak argued at a hearing Monday
that if Collins was carrying a gun, the much larger male attacker could have taken it from her and shot her.
Collins responded by saying, "Respectfully Senator, you weren't there. Had I been carrying [a concealed weapon], he wouldn't have known that I had my weapon. I know without a doubt in my mind, at some point I would have been able to stop my attack by using my firearm."
Collins was raped at gunpoint in a University of Nevada-Reno parking garage in Oct. 2007. Nevada law prohibited her from carrying a gun on the campus, but her attacker had one.
Hudak has since offered an apology for her remarks, saying she did not mean to be insensitive. Collins spoke about the exchange with Gretchen Carlson this morning on Fox and Friends, saying again that she feels she would have been able to stop the attack if she had been carrying a gun.
"After I testified, a woman came up to me and she gave me a hug and she showed me the whistle on her key chain. And she said 'thank you for speaking out, because I'm not gonna get a chance to testify, but this is the whistle that couldn't save me,'" Collins said.
Just a few weeks ago, another Democrat in Colorado made waves by saying whistles and call boxes will protect women on college campuses.
Watch the interview:
And yesterday, a Colorado legislative committee approved a bill to hold gun makers liable for crimes committed with their guns.

When i first bought the my 1982 Suzuki G850GL shaft drive motorcycle about 4 years ago, i changed out ALL the fluids to Mobil 1 synthetics. The remaining 6 or so ounces i had of of the 75W-90 Mobil 1 Gear Oil was chosen as a possible bicycle chain lube, and a small amount seems to last forever in my container if applied as i will outline.
Not only is the viscosity (thickness) about perfect in this application, but it seems to last between re-applications and my chains have never been happier. Silence is golden. :thumb:
I use it on every bike i own, and applied as follows VERY clean running!
I wait a week or two before re-lubing a "new" chain, both because the factory lube is great, and also because i want some of the old lube/grease to work itself out to allow room for a new lube to go. I just did my KMC gold 9 speed chain today, in fact. (using it on my 1x8 speed Serotta "commuter" -:)
I wipe down my chain after every ride anyway,....to avoid a heavy accumulation of crud,.....plus it's a lot easier when you do a more thorough cleaning every month or two if you've maintained a wipedown schedule. Before a re-lube is no exception. I rarely have to take the chain off to clean it prior to lubing. The regular wipedowns help a LOT in that regard! Occasionally i'll use my air compressor to blow out loose dirt between the links, but that's infrequent and usually because i've forgotten to do the wipedown after several rides.
Most of us can find a smaller "convenience" applicator to make it easy to apply new lube. I use and old Hoppe's #9 gun oil bottle with about a 1 inch skinny applicator. When i ran out of gun oil i repurposed the bottle and put a notation on the outside with magic marker to avoid any confusion. The appicator pulls out to refill with more Mobil 1 75W-90 Gear Oil when the time comes, but i have yet to do it after several years on this small 2.5 ounce container! :D
In a pinch just add a little into a clean bottle cap, and use a Q-Tip as a transfer applicator,.....just work close to the chain to avoid drips. The Hoppe's gun oil bottle is much easier,....or something similar. A cleaned out Visene bottle maybe,.....for a portable carry in your tool bag?
I usually do my lubing in my confortable living room,....carpeted floor, and i sit on the couch with the bike flipped upside down and the chain facing me at chest level. Easy to work the crank and rotate the chain as needed also this way.
I used to add a newspaper under the chain to catch any drips,.....but stopped long ago as i just don't get any! That's right, the Mobil 1 75W-90 weight synthetic gear oil stays put if you use just ONE DROP over the top of the chain in the center roller area. I do maybe 15 links and move the chain left to do another 15 or so links. The viscosity is near perfect, as you can see the drop spread out and obsorb INTO the roller links within 5-10 seconds or so. Gravity works great here.
I start at the quick connect link to know i have hit each roller. When you get around to it again you are done applying the gear lube,......but NOT done yet.
I then spin the crank for a minute or so,....to work as much lube into the rollers where it needs to go. At this point the chain is sounding great,...well,....more like not sounding much like anything but QUIET. All good there......
I then have a bunch of paper towels or napkins handy and SLOWLY work the crank while pinching a section of paper towel repeatedly against the chain to wipe any excess lube out. Keep fingers safe folks!
The paper towel quicky obsorbs the black-ish oil and i move onto a clean area of paper towel. Do this repeatedly until your paper towel remains fairly clean after running the chain through it.
I also use a clean paper towel on each of the rear derailleur pulleys and also any chainrings. This removes any fresh oil transfered there as well, and will help to reduce any future dirt sticking to those parts. Once the jocky wheels and chainring is clean,......i give a final wipe(s) to the chain until the paper towel is clean,....and then i'm good for a week or two of noise free riding. My chains last a LONG time this way......and while you're running them they'll be about as friction free as you can get.
Tired of spending gobs of $$$ on bike chain lube,......go this route and you'll find not only a cheaper way to go,....but imo a better result in chain performance and longevity. Spend your $$$ at your LBS for other things,....we need them for sure. ;)
Oh,....it takes me all of 8-10 minutes per bike to do this, so certainly reasonable for the result you get.
......now if they could only improve the smell of the stuff! :D

A modern Buddhist leader has expressed his admiration for the outlet videogames provide in an interview given to the Times of India.
Trinley Dorje, the 24-year old spiritualist, also known as the Karmapa Lama, was asked if he considered it inappropriate for a Buddhist monk to play "war games" on his PlayStation. He replied that games are "something of an emotional therapy," adding:
If I'm having some negative thoughts or negative feelings, videogames are one way in which I can release that energy in the context of the illusion of the game. I feel better afterwards. The aggression that comes out in the video game satiates whatever desire I might have to express that feeling. For me, that's very skilful because when I do that I don't have to go and hit anyone over the head.

NEW YORK (AP) - Occupy Wall Street is in disarray a year after the protests against corporate greed and inequality began in lower Manhattan.
On Monday, protesters will converge near the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate Occupy's anniversary, marking the day they began camping out in Zuccotti Park. Marches and rallies are planned in more than 30 cities.
About 300 people observing the anniversary marched together Saturday. Police say at least a dozen were arrested.
The movement has lost its ability to organize since New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg evicted the protesters from the plaza last year.
The movement grew too large too quickly for the organization to keep up. Without leaders or specific demands, what started as a protest against income inequality turned into an amorphous protest against everything wrong with the world.

"The revolution will not be on demand, brother: the revolution will be live," sings rapper poet Black Ice in a new viral video (see below) out to promote the new doc "Free Angela and All Political Prisoners," which opens in theaters on April 5. It's a witty line, among many, in this timely update of Gil Scott-Heron's 1970 protest anthem. While the song references the original, the lyrics are altogether contemporary, admirably sending up many of pop culture's current distractions -- erectile dysfunction, American idol, Real Housewives, the Kardarshians, YouTube clips, Taylor Swift, and a host of black stars that presumably have done little to foment substantive revolutionary change. Or at least that's my interpretation of it.
I, for one, am happy to the see the protest song resurrected. It serves as a potent reminder of the media's complicity with political apathy. And if it gets one new person to be interested in Angela Davis and what she stood for, that's good news to me.
"You ask me, whether I approve of violence?" she responds to her interviewer. "When someone asks me about violence, I just find it incredible. Because what it means is that the person asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa." And it goes on and on, gathering even greater conviction and evidence, as her expansive afro dominates the screen, creating a kind of graphic representation of her power, despite her confined surroundings.
Steely, wounded, angry, frustrated, defeated and defiant, Davis expresses so many emotions, and such a fierce rhetorical argument, that I don't think anyone who sees the clip could argue with her about the need for a strong--and yes, possibly violent, if pushed--response to oppression.

Now that Wolfgang Puck has abandoned the idea, incredible rumors fly.
Both of L.A.'s primary restaurant critics hit the road this week and like what they find.
The French Laundry chef kicks off the L.A. 'Times' new "Master Class" series by showing readers how to brine salmon.
The founders of Pebble Beach Food & Wine are bringing a similar set-up of chefs to L.A., leading some to wonder about Wolfgang Puck's involvement.
Chefs like Guy Savoy and Joël Robuchon will team up to cook dishes that are influenced by the respected French toque.
Duff Goldman and Thomas Keller are sharing the same stage, but fortunately not at the same time.
The chef will recreate his fried chicken dinners from the Yountville restaurant every Sunday.
Even snobby dogs can get in on the action with foie gras biscuits.

I have a program which reschedules jobs for one hour. Sometimes it triggers at the given time, and sometimes it misses the trigger time.
There is no exception or error in the logs. How can I make the trigger work at the given time?
Any help is invited. My code is as follows:
StdSchedulerFactory sf = new StdSchedulerFactory();
Scheduler clusteredScheduler = sf.getScheduler();
Trigger tg = clusteredScheduler.getTrigger("myjob", "group1");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.HOUR, schedulerConstants.HOUR);
Trigger tg = scheduler.getTrigger(
((CronTrigger) tg).setCronExpression(
"0 " + cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE) + " " + cal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY) + " * * ?");
clusteredScheduler.rescheduleJob("myjob", "group1", tg);
This is my full code. Sometimes the scheduler will get stuck and remain unresponsive. There is no error or exception in logs. I have tried increasing the number of threads in the thread pool, and the problem persists.

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing a recent report that states cancer deaths have dropped significantly two years in a row. Experts are claiming this is due to better treatments and earlier diagnosis. Doc disagrees citing that is the increased use of antioxidant compounds.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss news stories concerning common germs. A recent British survey found that people believe the medical milestone since 1840 was "sanitation". Basic cleanliness out paced the discovery of DNA, antibiotics and anesthesia. On the same time Doug found article about a hospital closing an entire ward because 3 patients had contracted MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) in the hospital. Doug also discusses recent research that discovered a strain of staph that produces a toxin (Panton Valentine leukocidin) that can cause toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing pneumonia and even death within 72 hours.

Sure, logically. The client just wants what they want, and can consider everything
they don't type in as 'the server'. I'm saying that physical client-server is dead,
as least when your clients are coming in willy-nilly from the internet, and they want
one screen to offer them stuff from your DBMS and maybe your partner's DBMSes,
and to show messages from your messaging system etc. I'm interested to know what
you mean by 'the current DBMSes are fatally flawed'. I think they are just good
at doing one difficult-but crucial class of work, and should be protected to do that
as fast as possible, by having separate independent CPUs and processes intercede
between the internets'worth of browsers, and integrate those other DBMSes, and
(blasphemy) keep a list of the countries in Europe handy for clients, rather than
have them ask the DBMS etc.

Glenn Beck Tells O'Reilly About His New Book, "Miracles and Massacres"
Glenn Beck appeared on tonight's O'Reilly Factor to discuss his new book, "Miracles and Massacres: True and Untold Stories of the Making of America."
The book highlights both the dark parts of America's history and the good things from our past in order to teach children how to change and defend the nation's future.
Shifting to ObamaCare, Beck forewarned, "When America really sees what is going on, they're going to lose their mind. […] All we're left with now is trying to make it better."
"The only way to solve our problems, and I'm seeing it happen with people on both sides of the aisle, is personal responsibility," he said.
As for the president's broken promise, Beck said, "What he really meant was 'if I like you insurance, you can keep your insurance.'"

Makeup Tips From Bobbi Brown
What's the best way to cover up a sunburn?
Paula Norman, Austin, Texas
Bobbi: I deal with this a lot on photo shoots when the models have been exposed to too much sun. First, hydrate with a rich face oil or moisturizer (like Aquaphor) to keep your skin from peeling. It's natural to want to apply a foundation over a sunburned face, but you're better off keeping your makeup to a minimum. Instead, reach for a hypoallergenic mineral powderit won't irritate sensitive skinthen top it with a bronzing powder to tone down the red.

The Originals
The Originals Episode 6 Sneak Peek: Rebekah Denies Feelings For Marcel (VIDEO)
If there's one thing we're finally looking forward to seeing on The Originals, it's for Rebekah Mikaelson (Claire Holt) and Marcel Gerard (Charles Michael Davis) to rekindle their forbidden passions of yesteryear. Now that Rebekah has cut off her ties to Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig) on The Vampire Diaries, we really want to see the blonde bombshell find someone to love.
We already know that Rebekah and Marcel were getting all hot and bothered back in the 1800s, a la Episode 2 ("House of the Rising Son"), in which we saw how Marcel came to be Klaus Mikaelson's (Joseph Morgan) right-hand man, only to fall from grace after getting steamy with Rebekah.
Thanks to co-executive producer Michael Narducci, we have a sneaking suspicion that Rebekah and Marcel are going to share a huge scene together in Episode 6 ("Fruit of the Poisoned Tree"), and thanks to a new promo, we can confirm that!
In the promo, Marcel confronts Rebekah in the potion store while she's clearly stealing. Check out the exchange:
Marcel: Just keeping my city safe from thieves and vandals. But every time I turn around I catch an Original with their hand in the cookie jar.
Rebekah: Well, luckily for you, your cookies are the last thing on my mind.
Marcel: Oh, I can see that. Though I remember a time when things were different.
Rebekah: Maybe once, but not anymore.
Do you think there will be a super steamy scene between these two former love birds next week? Hit the comments and let us know!

Got Er Dun....subtitle: Oops, I Did It Again
Thursday, June 24, 2010
Git er Dunitis may have just infected me.
It was still too hot last night to run at 8:30, so I blew it off. I was also mentally worn out from work stress. It would have been SO easy for me to grab something fat laden and calorie heavy from the freezer. Instead I took those healthier foods I bought the night before, and fixed a turkey melt type sandwich on a high fiber English muffin�and a salad. When I finished eating I was satisfied.
I also took my supplements when I was supposed to. Melatonin only works when I take it EARLY in the evening, and I didn�t do that the night before�.thus a super lousy sleep Tuesday to Wednesday. Last night I was tired at 9:30, just as I should be. I also remembered to fix a NuuN before bed because my foot had cramped on me at lunch time while trying on new sandals�.(I got the CUTEST new sandals btw). Other than not running it was a near perfect evening. Lights out at 10 instead of 10:30�.and right off to sleep. I didn�t wake up again until 2 minutes before the alarm was set to go off, when a baby possum came snuffling, grumbling, growling, squeaking through the bushes below my window!
Me�I SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG!!! ME!!! The queen of insomniacs and waking up 10 time and more a night � I SLEPT!!!
On to the rest of my tale.
On a normal day my alarm goes off at 5:30. Last night I re-set it for 4:55. Remember? I didn�t run yesterday. It was hot yesterday. It was cool when I woke up this morning. Post animal noises I reset the alarm for 5:30 with the BAD intentions of going back to sleep until 5:30�.those blankets and my nice comfy bed felt SOOOOO GOOD!!! My hormones had a better idea though�as soon as I cuddled back under the blankets it was hot flash time � oh the joys of aging�Okay Okay�I got the message immediately, Bedroom Warm (hot?) and toasty � Outdoors Cool and Comfortable. So I turned off the alarm, pulled on my running clothes, set the coffee pot to brewing, and out the door I went.
35 minutes later I was back, feeling awake, feeling good, and recorded a little under 3 mile run with an average pace of 12:38, AND an average HR of 150(!!!) and a max HR of 163 (!!!!!). The last mile my pace looks BEYOND Funky on the graph, up to a 10mm, down to a 13mm, up and down ever few steps it appears�but I Got the Run Dun!

Congrats on sleeping. I don't go to bed until 2 a.m. - ish, but once I'm ready to sleep, it's very rare that I have trouble sleeping. The rare occasion when I can't sleep is miserable though. Can't imagine feeling that way night after night.
Congrats on the morning run too! I'm trying very hard to become a morning runner due to the weather. I hate to admit it, but it really is nice to get up and get it done long before I'm normally even out of bed.
Hope you have many more good nights.

You are quite a runner. I wish I had your pace. I'm still lucky if I can get a mile in under 15 minutes. But this is not about me.
Congratulations! On the sleep and the morning run.
Mornings are the best for running.

Lauren Goodger has had a well documented battle with her weight, but it looks like she's finally found the thing that works for her after beginning training for 'Dancing On Ice'.
After being put through her paces for the show which starts in January, the star has unveiled her new slimmer physique on Twitter.
Posing in her cut-out underwear (we're not quite sure what we're calling that creation), she showed off her toned tummy.
As she prepared for a photoshoot, she tweeted: "F* sneaky peak on my shoot 2day from my bb yolo"
Lauren previously vowed to lose weight after being unhappy with pictures of herself on holiday back in March.
She lost over one and a half stone on the Cambridge Diet plan, but admitted she had later put a lot of the weight back on.
But after quitting 'TOWIE' earlier this year to appear on 'Dancing On Ice', Lauren is likely to drop more dress sizes as training for the show continues.
While the official line-up is yet to be confirmed by ITV, other celebs who have been seen taking to the ice include 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson and 'X Factor' winner Shayne Ward.
Former 'Loose Women' star Denise Welch lost over two stone after becoming the face of LigherLife and taking up a new fitness regime in 2013.
At her thinnest Natalie wanted the whole world to know she'd lost weight. An inevitable work out DVD followed.
The Steps singer managed to shed the weight she gained after the band split, but then she fell pregnant and battled to lose it since.
Gastric-band-gate swept the nation when it was revealed Fern hadn't exactly told the truth about her weight loss.
Dawn French was always been known for being a bit on the larger side, and that's why we loved her. Well, there's less of her to love now as since her split with Lenny she's shed a fair few pounds.
That picture on the left actually scares us. It's like she wants us to motorboat in that cleavage. Bleugh.
Bristolian comic Justin Lee Collins has gone from rock-sized to rock star after dieting.
Former Emmerdale actress Pauline Quirke lost several stone after being told she was morbidly obese.
It was revealed that Geri's dramatic weight loss was due to an eating disorder. Luckily she's settled back to a healthy weight now.
He's the man of the moment on The X Factor, but after the original Take That split Barlow ballooned.
James Corden's role in One Man Two Guv'nors helped him to shift over five stone.
TOWIE's Gemma shed four stone on a bid to win Mick Norcross. She gave up the bags of crisps but didn't manage to bag the bloke. Good job she's got Arg now then.
Pete's frame isn't the only thing shocking here. WTF is with that hair? Anyway, Pete shed the pounds when he split with Jordan. We didn't hear anything about that?
Eh up, don our Kerreh look slim. Must 'av been on t'Weight Watchers.
Jack Osbourne has struggled a lot with his size and is still yo-yoing with his weight now.
Gerard Butler has never exactly been a porker, but he's swapped his stocky frame for a much leaner one.
Jessie Wallace looked unrecognisable after slimming down, but since returning to Easties, Jessie has regained Kat's curvier figure.
Superbad actor Jonah Hill made jaws drop across the world when he unveiled his new look at an awards bash. He's hoping to lose more too.
The once teeny weeny, leather-chaps wearing Christina Aguilera got tongues a-wagging when she ditched her slight frame.

Great apartment - but the room towards the street is REALLY noisy!! You can hear all the traffic from 9th Avenue night and day.
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Logement globalement satisfaisant mais assez bruyant.Les chambres donnent sur la rue et une église.
Logement tres propre et confortable
De slaapkamers zijn gerenoveerd maar dat is het ook wel. Slecht sanitair, zeer veel straatlawaai, geen aanrader.
Çok iyi yer daire, biz hizmet ile çok mutluyuz
Appartement très bien placé, nous sommes très heureux de la prestation
Denne leiligheten er perfekt for dere som skal oppleve New York og være i midten av det hele. Gå avstand til det meste, times squere, empire state, subway i nærheten. Ok standard. Denne er ikke for deg som planlegger mye inne tid....
Veldig god hjelp fra utleier.
Appartement conforme a la description, bien situé, bonne communication avec l agence
This is a really lovely apartment. Everything was as we expected and everything is in good working condition. It is in a really good area around lots of bars and restaurants and very short walking distance to Broadway and Times Square. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy at night with the traffic.
Geen lift, sloten werken slecht, internet werkte niet, wij hadden de eerste dagen maar op 1 kamer airco. Geen keukentafel. Maar 1 sleutel voor 4 volwassenen.
De bedden waren perfect en het was er schoon.
De buurt is rustig en prettig met volop winkeltjes en restaurants. Metro (groene lijn) is op loopafstand (+/-10 min.) van het appartement.
El aparatmento muy correcto y limpio, No nos funcionaba el Wifi pero le llamamos y en una hora nos trajo otro router. Todo muy bien.

Singapore 15-18 October 2010
I visit Singapore this time for a friend's wedding.
My flight is delayed by two hours, so I arrive by Midnight. I go directly to the Hostel in Chinatown by MRT. A Beary Good Hostel, is a minute away (actually is less than a minute!) from the MRT). I just have to look around because the stair up to the hostel is hidden behind the shops.
My friend's wedding is at the True Way Presbyterian Church. This is why I love MRT. With high heels, yeah, it helps how close the Chinatown MRT and Queenstown MRT is!
I am nervous because I never been to a Church wedding (I usually just skip to the receptions for my other friends' wedding). It's interesting! Reminds me of the mass when I was in school, even singing Joyful Joyful brings back solemn memories.
While waiting inside the chapel, I'm playing with Ziggy, my camera, (short for Zigeuner, meaning Gypsy in German =P) for like 30-40 minutes.
The ceremony starts at 10:30ish, with hymns, and passages, from the Bible, Genesis 2:21-25, reading.
Then enter JQ with her father down the aisle. (This is the first time I see JQ's Husband in real life =^^=, mostly I see him on JQ's FB). After JQ's father gives her to Dharmawan, they are seated in front of the altar and the ceremony begins.
The Sermon is both English and Indonesia and is quite entertaining, because the Priest is energetic and the translator has to keep up with him.
They exchange vows and rings. (insert sniffling here, my oldest friend is getting married!).
After that, they sign the marriage papers.
They are now Mr. and Mrs Tjokro. I'm told that JQ still keep her full name but in functions, in Indonesia, she will be called Mrs. Tjokro. *g*
After some photos (family on both sides, friends, co-workers, etc etc etc, including old school friends), we have lunch on the second floor (before I depart, JQ told me not to go home yet @ _ @ uh oh).
Another intermission with a pair of duet singers with lovely, lovely voices, and the game is on. A bit of speech from the Groom and the Bride. Some flashback videos, and my all time favorite is how Dharmawan proposed to JQ (insert Mission impossible theme here) with the help of friends and family, they plot, they execute the plan, a bit mishap (note: JQ doesn't like sour juice!), and he came in camouflage behind balloons. XD so cute!
Then comes the awards for long time friends, close friends…
And then, surprisingly, shockingly, I have to give a speech too? (WOOT, JQ?) as JQ's oldest friend @ _ @ EGAD, I don't know and prepare anything!!
So I whip something outta my BS-ing. well, not BS, coz I'm saying the truth. LOL. The point is to embarrass the Bride, that JQ is very, very tidy. No 12 years old girl writes with a ruler, mind, and got 100 in Geography National exam, and memorizing/studying word per word, commas per commas and dots to dots. (yeah pretty intimidating, JQ!) But anyways: Congrats for the couple!!!
The groomis supposed to carry the Bride across the threshold, but they go un-traditionally. ROTFL.
I'am introduced to Kumi, the Maid of Honor, and we go back to the Hotel because there's still dinner @ _ @ (I didn't know that!) ohhh ok. While Kumi is taking care of her hair, I buy a shawl to give a different color than the morning ceremony.
At the hotel, they have a tea ceremony, mainly for families to give gifts and words of wisdom
Dinner at the National Museum around 19:30-ish. And game time! For the audience, answering some questions about Dharmawan and JQ. For the Groom and the Bride, something else. XD The MCs hide 5 chocolates in Dharmawan's body and JQ has to search for them!
"This is sexual harassment," cry the Groom. Cue laughter from the audience.
ROTF. Since JQ doesn't get the last 2 chocolates, they have to kiss! (no cheating guys!!), and no counting the seconds, Jaq!!
In revenge, JQ asks Kumi (one of the MCs) to sing a Japanese song.
After dinner, they take some photos around the tables and on the stage with family and friends.
And here, once again, Mr. and Mrs Tjokro.
After dinner, Kumi and I and a couple of friends go to Clarke Quay to see Kumi's friend performed at Shanghai Dolly. Sort of bizarre mix of crowd and Japanese, Chinese, Korean music blaring from the performances and speakers. I have mix feeling in here LOL. Like I said: Bizarre.
Okay drinks? Freaking expensive! S$16 for Heineken -_-;;; ahhhh. Let's move out girls (and boys)! We go to Attica Next. There's an admission and a line, but a friend of Kumi's friend talks to the bouncer so we can get in for free! I think it's because there are 5 girls in our group (the boys still need to pay though). Attica is very crowded sort of fun and mix of R&B, pop, etc. The DJ rocks!
We hang out till midnight and get 'snacks' along the way. I hae roti prata and curry and polish them all with Teh Tarik. Hmmm, that hit the spot!
I get back to the hostel around 3 am. Sore feet and tired, aching body. But I had a blast!
The next morning, with Ziggy, go off to see the first temple, which is in Little India. I get down in Ferrer St. MRT and walk along the map. I've seen a lot of colorful buildings, shops and houses alike.
Don't forget to shop colorful bangles, pashmina, shawls and other India's trinkets at Little India Arcade. And let you bargain for a reasonable price if you buy a lot.
Apparently, the month of October is a celebration of Deepavali (Diwali) Festival Market & Street Light Up, a festival of lights. See how colorful and bright the decorations are! (I wish I come during night time, it must be a sight to see!)
These days the local dress up with new cloths, pray and eat sweets and sharing with the family. We can taste the Indian sweets and light candles to celebrate the return of Lord Rama (from Ramayana) from his war against Rahwana. Also to celebrate the victory of Lord Kresna from slaying the demon king Narakasura. The days also significant spiritually of the inner light, purity and the 'oneness' of all things life.
Pretty good, if I say so my self. Alas, I'm not sure the proper way to join in the celebration in the temple, so I just bought some sweets (and they are very, very sweet, made of coconut or something, with a nutty flavor).
Next is the Sri Srinivasa Peruma Temple located in Little India on Serangoon Road.
The entry gate, 'Rajagopuram/Gopuram', with it's colorful ornated statues at the entry way, depicting the epic story of Lord Vishnu and/or the many incarnation of the Lord Vishnu.
Some detail @ Sri Srinivasa Peruma Temple. Lord Vishnu and his wife, Dewi Lakshmi
I have to take off my shoes to enter the temple as the custom and it;s a polite thing to do. Visitors might take photos and donate some sum to the Temple.
The Sri Srinivasa Peruma Temple is established by the Hindu community in Singapore and is the oldest shrine here dedicated to Peruma (Lord Vishnu).
Because of the Deepavali (Diwali) Festival, I have the chance to take some photos of the celebration.
The old man is watching the celebration start with the musicians at the background.
The Priest is washing his hand before the ceremony begins.
The Entourage. (One of these days, I'll buy myself a complete Sari. It's so decorative and beautiful!)
For cheaper by the dozens of anything, every tourist should go to Mustafa wholesale…
and I just have to get my self an 1 kg of chocolate (my co-workers eat 'em like….2/3 of it in one sitting) *LOL* and some assortments of Indian bangles.
Next stop Orchard Rd. to meet another Singaporean friend and get the Glambox for Rey and I. Since I have the 25% off discount for Borders, I go there first. Alas, there's nothing there to buy. The ones I want, like Noma Bar's graphic design book, and two graphic novels aren't available. So no purchasing in Borders, and none in Kinokuniya (@ Takashimaya). Puh.
I have ice cream in front of Wisma Atria.
The Old Man (I don't know his name, sorry. =( ) still sells the ice cream! With a new slogan 'King's Ice Cream. Cool Pleasure', and a motorcycle to boot! Woot.
Look at This delicious cool sweet corn ice cream! I'm not ashame to say I eat 2 servings of this. =P Just as I remember. Unf. I think I float blissfully in my first bite.
There are a couple of notable streets here:
Pagoda Street & Temple Street are named because of Sri Mariamman Temple.
Mosque Street is named after Jamae Mosque.
Sago Lane & Sago Street because some Sago factories located here.
Smith Street is named after Sir Cecil Clementi Smith.
Along the South Bridge Road we see the Sri Mariamman Temple, Jamae Mosque and Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum almost side by side.
Going down the Chinatown MRT
Already, we've seen colorful stalls and lampoons hanging.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is located at 288 South Bridge Road, is based on the Tang Dynasty architecture and the sacred Buddhist Mandala.
The Mountain Gate, Courtyard, Bell and Drum Towers. Unfortunately, Ziggy isn't wide enough to get the bell towers on the either sides :(.
And its entry guardians, Nio, two wrathfully guardians, Nàluóyán jīngāng in Mandarin Chinese held a vajra mallet and bare-handed Mìjī jīngāng in Mandarin Chinese, are the manifestations Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi who protect Buddha during his travel.
First Level:
Hundred Dragons Hall – Maitreya Hall
Stepping inside the temple, I'm greeted by this beautiful, beautiful ornate hall that take my breath away. The details of the statues (and they are large ones!) and the satin backdrop depicting the dragons in flight are so wonderfully crafted and we can see the shiny finish and solemness of the statues. We are told not to make a lot of noise, so it's quiet and peaceful in the middle of the representations of a hundred Buddha statues on both sides of the hall, dragons, candles and incense burning.
The Universal Wisdom Hall – Avalokitesvara Hall on the backside we have the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara sits upon a lotus throne.
Behind the statue, there's a Dhāraṇī written in Sanskrit with the Siddhaṃ script. The writing is from a Tibetan Buddhism to focus on the sound to attain eight hundred samādhis and enlightenment. Alongside, there are zodiac protectors and smaller statues of Cintamanicakra Avalokitesvara. Like so:
These are amazing!
Second Floor
The second floor hold the Exhibition Hall showing calligraphy, arts, scriptures and sculptures, like so:
This calligraphy scripture depicting the teaching of Buddha
Art Gifts from around the world
The second floor also have Lotus Heart Teahouse – Refined Pure Teahouse; the Tea and Souvenir Shop where we can dine in a traditional vegetarian dish or try the assorted teas or browse around for gifts, incense, glass lamps, Buddhist books/scriptures, and Buddhist robes for not-so-reasonable price of around S$60 – S$70.
I want this Buddhist Pine, but I don't think it can survive flight to Indonesia, or if I can bring it in =P
Chinese things from the old days, from the first settlement of Chinese immigrants in Singapore. (Dig the old gramophone). By order of Sir Stamford Raffles, they are given a piece of land and became the busiest area in Singapore with its businesses, markets, theaters, shops and once upon a time, brothels and clan organizations (i.e: Triad?). Before, it was knows as Kreta Ayer or in Malay, means 'Water Cart', because they used to carry water with bullock and ox carts for the lack of drinking water at that time. Once upon a time, this area also sold Sago, hence the name Sago Street and Sago Lane, where the Temple stands in between. It was called Little Temple Street by the Chinese since there was a Tua Peh Kong Temple previously. Also called by the Cantonese, 'the Street of the Dead', as it was used by many funeral parlors and hospices and it was the final place of chronic and terminally ill in early days.
Old ornaments from the Temple.
Manjushri Hall – Aranya Gallery, where it house some Buddhist texts, Maha-pranjna-paramita Sutra and guardians/sages statues. Bodhisattva Manjushri is known for his wisdom. Seeing keenly, teaching and guiding.
Some Statues that looked like Heavenly Generals or something.
Third floor
Samantabhadra Hall – Nagapuspa Buddhist Culture Museum hold a collection of Buddhist artefacts and all kinds of representations of Buddha, from when he was still a young Prince, to his path of finding enlightenment, to his teaching until his death. There are more or less 300 pieces of artifacts and works of arts from Pakistan, China, Korea, Myanmar, Thailand, etc.
Buddha statue. At first I thought it's a Kwan Im statue from the feminine side, but it isn't. I love this one for the craft, Buddha is suspended in the air by his cloths and surround by circle of holiness.
Some representations of Buddha
At Sacred Buddha Relics Chamber, third floor, have the Sarira or such as bone relic, intestine relic, blood relic, brain relic, tongue relic, etc. The crystallize of the spiritual energy left behind by the death of a sage upon cremation of Buddha Sakyamuni body signifying the forces of nature are elevated due to religious practices and converted as wisdom, the fruit of spiritual labor, free of lust, greed and wrath. (Sorry we're not allowed to take photos here, which is a shame because there are some lovely bronze, golden Buddha statues and the colorful crystals here).
Fourth floor
Sacred Light Hall – Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic Chamber, (again, we're not allowed to take photos here, check the linked site for photos), reserve for praying and offering to the Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic.
Note: the temple does have AC and elevators ^O^
Roof top
The elevator stopped on the 4th floor. To reach the top, we have to take the emergency stairs.
On each corners there is a small pagoda housing a Buddha statue. These four corners representing the four cardinal points. From the site:
Aksobhya Buddha of the Eastern Realm of Fragrance;
Ratnaketu Buddha (or Buddha of Treasured Appearance) of the Southern Realm of Happiness;
Amitabha Buddha (or Buddha of Limitless Life) of the Western Realm of Tranquillity and Bliss;
Amoghasiddhi Buddha (or Buddha of Subtle Hearing), of the Northern August Realm of the Lotus.
and small pavilions housing the 5 Dhyani-Buddhas, the incarnation of 5 wisdoms of the Mahavairochana. Again from the site:
"The five wisdom merits are the Dharmahdatu-prakriti-jnana or the ability to show the Truth, Adarshana-jnana or the ability to see the original nature of all living beings, Samata-jnana or the way to adopt an indifferent attitude, Pratyaveksana-jnana or the ability to see the special character of all living beings, and Krityanushthana-jnana or ability of all complete meritorious."
At the center, and oh, what a wonderful sight indeed!
The small garden with orchid plants named after the eminent sanha.
Inside the small temple, housed the Buddhist Prayer Wheel
According to the site, it is a revocable book shelf for the sutras, with central shaft to rotate the revolving scriptures, and it's dub 'Revolving Pitaka'.
Quote from the site: 'The School of Shakyamuni sutra, volume 3 – pagoda and temple' which states that, "those who set up the place for worship, use the knowledge to propagate the dharma to common people, should there be any man or woman who are illiterate and unable to read the sutra, they should then set up the prayer wheel to facilitate those illiterate to chant the sutra, and the effect is the same as reading the sutra".
Look at these Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda housing the large Vairocana Buddha Prayer.
@ _ @
A Photographer, two tourists, and three monks. (I have a lot of fun talking with them for 5 minutes and they give me delicious roasted chestnuts. So nice!)
The Sri Mariamman Temple at 244 South Bridge Road, has its charm and it is the oldest Hindu Temple, where a small representation of the goddess Mariamman exist. The Temple is known by the woshipers as Sithi Vinayagar and Gothanda Ramaswamy Mariamman Temple. Before, it is used as a refugee place and a place of worship for immigrants and officiated Indian marriage.
The Deepavali (Diwali) Festival, Festival of the Light is at its height.
I love all the colors on the ceiling.
Walking down the Chinatown food market, found some traditional and non-traditional trinkets.
…and the Uncle plays Erhu, a two strings violin.
An old painting on the pillar depicting a Lady Singer in Cheongsam
A bit Chinese advertising that goes cute, describing about the company in an unique way and not in the usual market: Jewelry.
Chinatown, to sum it all: traditions, food, people, colors, lotsa colors….and pork, of all kinds, even German sausages.
Click to enlarge for your viewing pleasure =)
After dinner of Chinese Hainam Chicken rice, go for this cool dessert, Mango Sago & Pomelo, at Mei Heong Yuen Dessert , located at Temple st. After a whole day walking in humid heat and painful back and feet, it tastes Just purrfect. =D~~~

I Didn't buy much, except the bangles and Adam Lambert Glambox and lotsa chocolate (for safety reason aren't in the photo). Heh.

My sons are nearly- 4 and 2. They share a bed (their choice and we just downsized to a 2BR to make sure I'll be able to stay home and HS )
For the past month or two, they've been waking between 4 and 5am. They are cranky and I worry my 2yr old isn't getting enough sleep.
I don't know how to fix this.
Their current bedtime is between 6:30 and 7. I've tried later bedtimes.
They rarely nap, anymore. If they do, I wake them after an hour.
I've tried longer naps in case sleep begets sleep and things are usually twice a worse after a long nap (like a 3:45am wake up)
We've tried laying in bed with them when they wake. Grabbing one out of bed and having me in bed with him and dh in bed with the other.
Giving zero interaction in the mornings to make it boring.
I feel like we've tried everything. I'm at a loss.

I do not think u received the entire story. the owner of towing co. refused to allow me to retreive my registration, after going to the police station talking to the clerk she called the towing co. and said he must allow me to have access to my car to obtain registration. I went back to the towing co. my car was suddenly inside the fenced lot w/ a guy sitting in my passanger seat going through my glove box. Needless 2 say my registration had disappeared and nobody told me that I could simply pay $2 to obtain a duplicate of my currant reg., ironically my renewel reg. came in the mail several days later, while the storage fee was increasing by the day. I am on SSDI the vehicle was a 2003 Mer Mountaineer paid for except for a Title Loan. Title Loan was to repair minor damages that increased the value of the car by several thousand. I offered the owner of the towing co. if he would let me pay 1/2 of the 1435.00 which was due, and the following month pay the balance. He agreed, He stated the car was legally his at this point although he had not sent me, the co-owner nor the Lein holder any notification, he had been driving the vehicle the entire time it was in his possession there was about 1000 more miles put on the vehicle. The day I went to pick it up I was left there waited from 4 until about 8/9 that nite the owner finally showed up of course my car was inside the fenced lot that day with a flat tire covered in mud the gas cap had been broken because the dud not have a key, after I gave the man 1/2 of the 1435.00 he pumped up the tire and said the brakes needed to be checked. I drove straight to someones house that lived close by, the brakes were not completly gone but I did not want to chance it.
Later that evening the friend wanted to test drive it and he did, around the block he said the brakes went out completely he ran into a ditch and the car flipped on its side no immediate injuries. The brakes had been replaced 2 weeks prior 2 the car being impounded. What are my legal options? Do I have any?

Tech Falls To No. 16 Texas 4-3 In Big 12 Opener
March 17, 2006
LUBBOCK, Texas - Carson Kainer's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the top of the nighth led No. 16 Texas to a 4-3 win over Texas Tech in the Big 12 opener for both teams on Friday evening at Dan Law Field.
Tech reliever Randy Gattis hit two Texas batters in the top of the ninth and that forced pitching coach Lance Brown to go back to the bullpen in favor of left-hander Colt Hynes. Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, Hynes walked the first batter he faced to load the bases and brought up left fielder Carson Kainer. Kainer plated the game winning run with a fly ball to right field and allowed Chais Fuller to score easily from third.
Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh, senior center fielder Brian Capps came up big with two outs when he belted a single up the middle. Capps' hard-hit grounder allowed Blair Wilkins to score from third and an errant throw from Longhorn second baseman Clay Van Hook allowed Willie Rueda to score the tying run from second.
Texas Tech (16-7; 0-1) drew first blood in the game when Roger Kieschnick delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. Kieschnick's RBI single scored Brian Capps who drew a leadoff single and moved into scoring position on a groundout by Matt Smith.
The Longhorns took their first lead of the game in the top of the fifth scoring three runs on four hits. Texas got three doubles in the inning including a two-RBI double from Kainer that went sailing down the left field line.
Randy Gattis (2-1) suffered his first loss of the season as he hit two batters in the top of the ninth and lasted just 1/3 of an inning. Austin Wood picked up the win in relief of Adrian Alaniz while Ken Kasparek earned his third save of the season by pitching a scoreless ninth.
Texas Tech will try and even this three-game series on Saturday afternoon when the two teams get together for a 2 p.m. first pitch. The Red Raiders will start redshirt freshman right-hander Miles Morgan while Texas will counter with junior right-hander Kyle McCulloch.

Old but still indispensable overview of what life was like for American slaves in the 19th century. Long and comprehensive. Genovese's theory of "paternalism" is controversial. Read full review

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Whenever Michael Bennett got into a fight growing up in Texas, his little brother, Martellus, always seemed to be around to help out.
That's the way the Bennetts are. They are always pulling for each other, ready to lend a hand.
This Sunday? Different story. That's when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0) come to New Jersey to face the New York Giants (0-1) at MetLife Stadium. And the Bennett brothers are going to be staring at each other on a lot of plays.
Michael is the starting left defensive end for Tampa Bay, and Martellus, a Giants tight end, has to block him.
"We never fought growing up," Martellus said. "If you fought him, you had to fight me. We were those types of kids, so everybody in the neighborhood knew that if you messed with Michael, Martellus is going to come from out of nowhere. Sometimes I wouldn't even be around and I'd just appear and I'd just jump in the fight. It's going to be pretty cool (Sunday)."
The Bennetts are close. The brothers either talk or send text messages every day, and many times, they do it more than once.
"We don't talk trash, we just talk about life basically," Michael said. "Not too much about football every day."
This won't be the first time the brothers have played in the same NFL game. When Martellus was with the Cowboys last season, Dallas played in Tampa, and returned to Texas with a 31-15 win.
Martellus, who signed with the Giants as a free agent in the offseason, wasn't a starter last season. When he was in that game, though, he made Dallas Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten take on his brother.
"We're not the type of brothers where it's like, 'Hey, I'm kicking your (butt) all day,'" said Martellus, who at 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds is two inches taller than his brother and nine pounds lighter. "We're more like, 'Hey brother, good job.' We push each other more so than trying to have the bragging rights in the family."
The funniest thing about the game that Martellus remembers was standing on the sidelines and watching Michael sack Dallas quarterback Tony Romo. His reaction was immediate.
"Good sack," Martellus remembered screaming. The joy lasted about a second as his Cowboys teammates gave him one of those 'shut-up' looks.
Despite being older, Michael came into the NFL a year after his brother, who left Texas A&M early.
"It's a special feeling just to know you grew up with your brother and just to see him in the league, too," Michael said. "It's a good feeling. Not many people get that feeling to have their family with the same occupation."
The brothers have a little bet on the game, although they don't seem to agree on the wager. Martellus said if the Giants win, his brother has to buy him something nice. Michael says if the Buccaneers win, Martellus has to take him and his family on a vacation. He wants to go to Europe.
Either way, the families plan to get together this weekend.
"There are a lot of things that we both want to accomplish in life and I think this is one of our first dreams that we both had that's coming true," Martellus said. "He's starting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I'm here starting for the New York Football Giants, so it doesn't get much better than that for the Bennett family."
Michael agreed.
"It's weird because it's such a violent sport and I'm seeing my brother and we're so close," he said. "His wife is telling my wife something. It's going to be something funny at Thanksgiving, I bet."
