Live Commentary
90' + 3'FULL TIME! Final score: Manchester United 3-0 Tottenham. Goals by Welbeck, Anderson and Rooney make it two wins out of two for the defending champions after a dominant second half showing. Spurs, start with defeat and take on Manchester City next. That's all from me but stay with Goal.com for our match report, ratings and all the reaction from Old Trafford.
90' + 2'Yellow Card Jermain Defoe
90' + 2'A long-ranger from Huddlestone is spilt again by De Gea. He grabs it at the second attempt, which tempts Defoe into going in late and catching the Spaniard. De Gea is not happy and has a pop at Defoe, who is booked for his troubles.
90'Into THREE minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game...
89'And still United pour forwards. Rooney and Park this time, almost getting in each others' way, eventually the substitute takes over but can only hit tamely at Friedel.
88'GOAL! ROONEY MAKES IT 3-0! Giggs is the creator sneaking into the box and chipping up a great cross for Rooney to head firmly home past Friedel!
86'Assist Ryan Giggs
86'Goal Wayne Rooney
86'Van der Vaart lets fly with a low shot from outside the box, De Gea keeps it out, although he spills it for a corner. From the kick, the ball comes back to the Dutchman who tries again but this time the Spaniard manages to keep hold of the ball.
83'WHAT A MISS BY ROONEY! He can afford to smile but he probably can't believe he has missed! Nani again sends in a great cross from the right,finds Rooney at the far post, yards from the goal line but he can only put it over the bar!
82'SubstitutionAshley Young Ji-Sung Park
81'SubstitutionTom Cleverley Ryan Giggs
81'SubstitutionDanny Welbeck Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez
81'A triple substitution for Manchester United. Huge applause for Welbeck who departs first for Hernandez. Cleverley and Young also go off with Giggs and Park the men to replace them.
79'DEFOE HITS THE BAR FOR SPURS! What a chance for the visitors! De Gea fails to claim a deep cross under pressure from Bale, the ball comes to the striker instead and he thunders a shot against the woodwork!
77'So close to a third for the champions. Nani is sent scampering into the box but is just denied by Friedel who gets there first.
76'Assist Danny Welbeck
76'Goal Anderson
76'GOAL! ANDERSON MAKES IT 2-0! Super goal from Manchester United! De Gea throws out quickly to Young who races down the left. He then plays it into Rooney, who picks out Anderson. The Brazilian finds Welbeck in the box who backheels it back to Anderson to finish past Friedel. Great move.
74'SubstitutionJake Livermore Tom Huddlestone
74'SubstitutionNiko Kranjcar Roman Pavlyuchenko
74'Double change for Spurs: off go Kranjcar and Livermore, on come Huddlestone and Pavlyuchenko.
72'Nani steals the ball off Lennon and feeds Jones but his shot is blocked. Spurs can then break but Defoe can't seem to make his mind up and his eventual pass is intercepted by Evans.
70'United win a couple of corners and from the second, Friedel is forced into a save after a half-volley from Evans, of all people. The hosts, full of confidence at the moment after that goal.
68'An overhead kick from Welbeck almost brings a second! A cross from Young was headed by Rooney and found the goalscorer with his back to goal. He tried the spectacular but it was too close to Friedel!
67'Time to check back in with Greg Stobart at Old Trafford: "United deserved that goal for the way they have played since half-time and their 75,000 fans are enjoying the moment, waving their new scarves over their heads. It was a goal made in the United academy – a wonderful cross from Tom Cleverley and an accurate glancing header into the net by Welbeck. Spurs switched off for a moment defensively and were duly punished."
66'Rooney tries again: thrashing a thunderous shot from 25 yards which flies inches wide of the top corner. Decent effort by the striker.
65'BRILLIANT SAVE FRIEDEL! Rooney plays the free-kick to Young, who knocks it back and Rooney tries to creep it into the near post but the American dives at full stretch and manages to paw it away!
63'A good run by Young, sees him find Evra just about to nip into the box. He is fouled on the edge of the box by Kranjcar. The home fans scream penalty, but it's just a free-kick....
61'Assist Tom Cleverley
61'Goal Danny Welbeck
61'GOAL! WELBECK SCORES! Manchester United lead 1-0! Assou-Ekotto gives the ball away to Cleverley. He finds Nani down the right, the ball is played back to Cleverley who crosses and Welbeck heads past Friedel for the opener!
59'Evans is penalised for a trip on Kranjcar. He needs to be careful now, he's already been booked remember. The kick is at least 40 yards from goal but Van der Vaart decides to shoot anyway...and no he doesn't get it on target.
58'Young tries to make amends with a flashy volley. A Smalling cross finds him at the far post, he takes a swing at it, connects well, but it's always rising, high, wide and nowhere near Friedel's goal.
56'United win a free-kick just outside the Spurs box, on the left, and with it the chance to whip the ball into the box. Young takes it, but it's awful,and barely beats the wall.
54'Back come the champions. Anderson plays a one-two with Rooney but his shot is blocked by Friedel. The ball rebounds straight back to United and Rooney hits his shot into the turf which makes it easy for the American to save again.
53'Spurs have started this half really strongly. They have United penned back inside their own half for a couple of minutes before eventually Bale crosses but Rooney is the man to get it clear.
51'Van der Vaart is screaming in frustration! Lennon beats Evra down the right, gets inside the box, has men queuing up for the cross, with the Dutchman screaming for a cut back, but his shot is blocked by Evans and the chances disappears.
49'And now Spurs try their luck. Defoe again having a pop from range he can't beat De Gea. Seconds later the visitors try again, Defoe finds Bale with an early ball but but he can only fire wide.
48'Smart stop from Friedel! United work the ball around the Spurs box. Rooney then manages to slip in Young, who controls the ball with one touch, swivels and shoots but again can't beat Friedel who saves well.
47'Spurs go straight on the attack with Van der Vaart sending a shot high into the stands. By the way Kyle Walker was feeling ill, apparently, and that's why he has gone off.
46'SubstitutionKyle Walker Vedran Corluka
46'Welcome back! One change to tell you about at the break. Vedran Corluka replaces Kyle Walker for Spurs, other than that it's as we were as Spurs get this second half underway.
Over to our man Greg Stobart for his half-time thoughts: "Harry Redknapp energetically claps his hands together as the two teams head down the tunnel after a goalless opening 45 minutes. It was intriguing rather than exciting, with Tottenham looking very comfortable on the ball despite the absence of Luka Modric. Manchester United have been full of vigour and enthusiasm but their young team has shown naivety on occasions, particularly in the midfield areas. Neither goalkeeper has been too sternly tested but Sir Alex Ferguson will be pleased that David De Gea has responded well after two costly errors in his first two games for the club."
45' + 2'HALF-TIME! No goals so far, and defences very much on top at Old Trafford. Cleverley has gone closest for the hosts while Bale and Van der Vaart have both worked De Gea. Join me after the break for all the second half action.
45' + 1'Bit of a waste from Defoe. He has time, space and options in front of goal, opts to go it alone and shoots disappointingly wide.
45'Spot of handbags at Old Trafford. Kaboul protests after a challenge by Nani. The referee calms things down, opts to keep his cards in his pocket, and on we go....heading into TWO minutes of added time at the end of the first half.
43'Another save from De Gea! Spurs definitely having more chances in this first half. The shot comes from Van der Vaart on the turn on the edge of the box. It's hit powerfully but the Spaniard gets down well and claims confidently.
42'Great ball from Krancjar sends Defoe flying upfield. He only has Evans to beat, before he's in on goal, but the defender just nicks the ball away in time.
41'Livermore brings down Rooney on the edge of the box, but the referee waves play on. The ball comes to Nani who blasts wastefully into the stands...
40'Another booking and it's Dawson who gets his name taken. Young just beats him to a ball, but his momentum takes him into the winger and blocks him off. Yellow card for Dawson, spot of treatment for Young but it doesn't look too serious.
39'Yellow Card Michael Dawson
38'Van der Vaart takes the kick but it's charged down by Welbeck. He then canters upfield but is penalised for a foul on Dawson. Both men went into the challenge with their boots raised, but it's the United man who gives away the foul. The home fans whistle their disapproval.
37'Yellow Card Jonny Evans
37'First booking of the night and it goes to Jonny Evans. The centre back goes in late on Van der Vaart and Spurs have a free-kick, some 35 yards from goal.
35'Nani has a pop from range which takes a huge deflection and loops high over Friedel's goal. Corner to United which goes straight to...Friedel.
34'More composed kicking from De Gea under pressure once again. He's looked confident so far tonight. Of course this is a fixture that goalkeepers haven't enjoyed in recent seasons, just ask Roy Carroll or Heurelho Gomes....
32'Bale hurls a long throw into the box. Jones heads clear but only as far as Kranjcar on the edge of the box who thumps a shot straight at De Gea.
30'Rooney tries to slide in Welbeck this time but he's overhit the pass and it doesn't trouble Friedel who comes to claim.
28'Closer from United. Rooney dinks in a cheeky ball into Young in the box which takes Assou-Ekotto out of the game. Young tries to aim his header back across Friedel and into the top corner but can't get it on target.
25'United win a corner but it's poor, however they keep possession. Jones has a shot, it's blocked by Welbeck of all people but his turn and shot is also blocked.
23'And now the action zooms straight back up the other end. From a throw on the right Nani sends in a teasing cross in between the two Spurs centre-backs but Rooney can't quite get on the end of it.
21'Back come Spurs, Lennon zips down the right. His cross isn't the best but Tottenham maintain the attack. The ball comes to Bale and he shoots low, but a diving De Gea is down comfortably to claim.
20'Spurs are seeing plenty of the ball at the moment, but the hosts are looking a real threat on the break, with plenty of pace. Rooney then sends Nani into space and he crosses but is unable to find Welbeck in the box.
18'Time to go over to Greg Stobart at Old Trafford for an update: "I've just spotted Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini sitting 20 yards to my right alongside David Platt and some other suits. The Italian will be here primarily to watch Tottenham, who his side play at the weekend, but I'm sure he will also have a keen eye on potential title rivals United. On the pitch, it's been a pretty even first 15 minutes, with Spurs playing some nice possession football but the hosts looking more dangerous when they attack."
16'A surging run from Bale is ended by a fine tackle by Jones who just manages to get his toe on the ball to nick it away from the Welshman. Bale ends up in a heap but he should be OK to continue.
15'Almost a quarter of an hour gone at Old Trafford and it's fairly frantic stuff so far. Spurs, slowly improving, send a corner onto the roof of De Gea's net.
13'David de Gea sends United hearts fluttering again! He's played a backpass, has Van der Vaart chasing him down, attempts a dragback, beats the Dutchman but then goes tumbling after Van der Vaart just catches him! They get up and shake hands but he does not look too impressed.
11'Good tackle by Kaboul! United send Young scampering into space down the left but the Spurs defender comes across quickly to make the tackle and concede the throw.
10'Spurs enjoy a decent spell of possession, for possibly the first time in the match, but it's ended abruptly by Krancjar who passes the ball straight to Ashley Young.
8'GREAT SAVE FRIEDEL! Super stuff from the Spurs shot-stopper. Again United cut Spurs apart, working the ball to Cleverley who has time and space to pick his spot but is denied by the diving American who tips the ball around the post!
6'First signs of life from Spurs who try to sneak into the United box but Jonny Evans is alive to the danger and nips into make the interception.
4'The hosts continue to go forwards, attacking down the left with Anderson showing some fancy footwork to win a corner.The ball is whipped in towards Smalling but again Spurs defend well.
2'Mistake from Van der Vaart! The Dutchman plays a ball in midfield, far too casually, Rooney is onto it in a flash, swaps a couple of passes with Young, races into the box but can then only head tamely at Friedel. Upfield Van der Vaart breathes a huge sigh of relief....
1'Right we're finally ready! Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck kick-off for Manchester United and we are underway at Old Trafford! The hosts go straight on the attack, pinging a couple of crosses into the Spurs box, but the visitors survive.
So that's Sir Alex's view. Back now to Greg for more from Old Trafford: "Nice touch from Manchester United here ahead of their first home game of their title defence. Every United supporter has been given 'CHAMP19NS' scarves "in appreciation of the Red Army's role in last season's title win" – delivered as a gift from Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill. It should look pretty impressive when the players come out of the tunnel."
"We compete in the present, but at the same time build for the future, and I think it is one of the factors that has seen us stay successful for such a long time. I had every confidence in the young men who saw us through at West Brom, and I know they'll continue in that vein during the absence of our most experienced defenders."
Ferguson writes: "Of course we have a young squad, and the average age will take a tumble this evening in the absence of Ferdinand and Vidic, but I have no qualms about pursuing a policy built around youth, albeit at the same time recognising the value of experience.
Goal.com's Greg Stobart is at Old Trafford tonight, so let's check in with him: "Here at an expectant Old Trafford, the Manchester United players are warming up wearing their new branded training gear following the announcement earlier today of a £40 million deal with DHL. The average age of the United team today must be one of their youngest ever but Sir Alex Ferguson uses his programme notes to insist he has "no qualms" about trusting youth."
No Luka Modric for the visitors tonight, in fact he's not even bothered to make the trip. According to Harry Redknapp his head is not in the same place as his body, or something like that, either way he's out. Elsewhere, Brad Friedel makes his debut in goal while Jake Livermore and Niko Krancjar are the midfield duo.
Some quick team news before we get going. There's no Vidic, Ferdinand or Rafael for the hosts so Smalling, Evans, Jones and Evra are charged with protecting De Gea. Elsewhere, Cleverley retains his place in midfield and there's even room for Hernandez on the bench.
Tottenham: Friedel; Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Livermore, Kranjcar, Bale;Van der Vaart, Defoe. Subs: Gomes, Huddlestone, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko, Bassong, Corluka, Townsend.
Manchester Utd: De Gea; Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra; Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young; Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Lindegaard, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Carrick, Fabio Da Silva.
Good evening and welcome to Goal.com as we bring you live Premier League action! Tonight Tottenham finally get their league campaign underway with the small matter of a trip to Old Trafford to face the champions. Can Spurs beat Manchester United on their own turf for the first time since 1989? Find out here as all the action is on its way…

Philip Seymour Hoffman: Five top roles of the man who stayed real
Philip Seymour Hoffman never met a loser he didn't have sympathy for. In an industry that prizes glitz and glamour, he offered the opposite: untidy, imperfect, shy, awkward and eminently real people. Despite his outsized talent, he was relentlessly humble. Here are a few highlights from Hoffman's prolific but too-brief lifespan:
Hard Eight Hoffman's least known performance for director Paul Thomas Anderson was also his first. In 1996's Hard Eight, also titled Sydney, Hoffman plays a loud-mouthed, mullet-haired craps player who clashes with the more dignified gambler played by Philip Baker Hall. But he's quickly won over by a ballsy bet, and cheerfully takes to calling him "Big Time". It's the scene that began one of the most enthralling actor-director collaborations in recent movies, running through Boogie Nights, (as a pathetic wannabe pornographer), Magnolia, (as a dying man's nurse), Punch Drunk Love (as a mattress store owner) and The Master, (as a cult leader).
Jack Goes Boating Hoffman's 2010 directorial debut was adapted from Robert Glaudini's play. In it, he plays a painfully shy limo driver with the unlikely dream of working for the New York transport authority. It's the story of an exceptionally ordinary guy trying to improve himself. Everything about the character and the film exudes the kind of downbeat modesty Hoffman prized.
Capote One occasionally wished Hoffman had more frequently taken on big parts like Truman Capote that more obviously showcased his tremendous talent. In some ways, his most ambitious work went to Broadway: Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night, True West. But though he gravitated more to regular guys, Hoffman's dapper, brash Capote is a master class in how to play an icon . Such roles are so often a collection of accent and manner – mere impression – but Hoffman's Capote was a full, soulful portrait
Happiness Hoffman had dangerousness in him, too. His peeping pervert in Todd Solondz's 1998 drama was unforgettably daring. It remains one of the creepiest performances in American movies.
The Savages In Tamara Jenkins' 2007 film, Hoffman and Laura Linney play a brother and sister struggling with adulthood and their father's decline in old age. It feels like the epitome of a Hoffman film: a mix of comedy and tragedy told with subtlety, bone-dry humour and flashes of grace.

Mary J. Blige, Charity Lawsuit: Singer's Foundation Sued for Failing to Repay $250K Loan
Mary J. Blige's charity is being sued by TD Bank for failure to repay a $250,000 loan, TMZ reports. As per the gossip site, Blige's foundation borrowed the quarter-mil back in June 2011 and has thus far only returned $368.33.
While the Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now had promised to fork over the full sum by December 2011, they missed the deadline, prompting a pair of written demands earlier this year.
As a rep for the R&B singer tells TMZ, there's a perfectly good explanation: The foundation is "presently transitioning its management and headquarters."
"We remain committed to our mandate of helping women gain the confidence and skills necessary to reach their full individual potential," the rep added.

Also, the message bar had the Device Management symbol. When I pressed OK, the window closed and the icon/symbol in the message bar disappeared. Nothing happened. Has anyone had this appear before?

Just a few short months ago, Gabrielle Douglas became America's Sweetheart. After bringing home the gold for the U.S., Gabby was faced with all sorts of criticism mostly from her own people regarding her hair, but she still held her head high.
Today, Gabby's new memoir, "Grace, Gold & Glory: My Leap of Faith" will be released where she dished on triumphs and tribulations. According to NY Daily News, Gabby nearly traded the gold for making chicken sandwiches at Chick-Fil-A because she was feeling homesick and growing tired of all the training. She wanted to be anything but a gymnast.
"Gymnastics is not my passion anymore," she texted her mother.
"I can get a job at Chick-Fil-A in Virginia Beach and live off the 14-grand I just won at World Championships," she wrote in her new memoir, "Grace, Gold & Glory."
"I just want to be a normal teenage kid," she wrote.
She also dished on the non-support from her father.
"Dad began telling the media how he always supported me in my gymnastics career," she writes. "The truth is that he didn't."
This should be good. You can order your book below:

Baidu: Strong Mobile Presence, JP Morgan Raises TP To $210
If you think Baidu (BIDU), which commands around 70% PC search market share, is doing well on PC, J.P. Morgan thinks Baidu is doing even better on mobile.
Baidu has built a stronger ecosystem on mobile than on PC, says analyst Alex Yao:
Baidu's mobile eco-system consists of: One of the largest app distribution channels in China (e.g. 91 Wireless, Baidu mobile assistance, Hi Market, etc); A city life service apps portfolio (e.g. Baidu Map, Baidu mobile Tieba, etc). These apps open the door for online to offline transactions; A utility-based app portfolio (e.g. Baidu Palm, Baidu mobile security, Baidu mobile browser, Baidu Music, Baidu Video, etc).
As a result, Baidu can reach a wider Chinese audience than it could with PCs, thanks to the democratization of smartphones there. In addition, Baidu can defend its mobile search market share better with an ever-reaching ecosystem to protect its territory.
J.P. Morgan has raised its December 2014 price target to $210. This price target implies 29 times the broker's 2014 earnings estimate and 20x 2015 earnings, and a PEG ratio of 1.

I've decided that I wanted to try writing a fanfic on something new. I've been writing fanfics on just the archive of Alvin and the Chipmunks. So I'm gonna try something new... to write/type a story on the movie, Hop ^^
E.B. was so adorable & cuddly, and his accent was AMAZINGLY cute! So I'm thanking Russell Brand for doing E.B.'s voice :) But is it a British accent or a English accent?
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my new awesome story! Thank youu! :D
Chapter 1
Meeting You
E.B. was now in Hollywood, going to try to get his dream...to travel around the world being a drummer. Even though his dad informed him that he was next to be the Easter Bunny, that wasn't what E.B. wanted.
He wanted to be a drummer in a band. To here the audience cheer & clap for his solos, enjoying the great music.
E.B. knew that his father was going to be worried that he wasn't at home and his dad would have to send the Pink Berets to go and search for him. But E.B. was destined to go to Hollywood for his dream.
And he didn't want to turn back now...
It was a warm night when E.B. arrived in Hollywood. He walked down the sidewalk for a little while, dragging his backpack with him. He had been walking down sidewalks for at least 2 hours, and he was getting kinda tired.
He had saw a nearby bush that he could sleep under and hopped to it. He yawned. "I'm so tired..." he said as he stretched and layed under the bush and closed his eyes.
Never been in love
Cause a girl like me
Never had someone to care for
Never thought there could be
Someone special for me
One of E.B.'s long furry ears perked up as he heard someone singing beautifully as he slowly opened his eyes.
And now I'm all in love
Cause a girl like me
Waited patiently for someone
Someone to care for me
And there will never be
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't going no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
E.B. stood up and hopped around the grassy area, listening for where the singing was coming from.
No more crying, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye love
Now it's time for me
To find out what a first time love could mean
Little scared but its cool
Cause it's worth it
Now I finally fell in love
And I know that it
Gots to be for real
It's the way that I feel
So come share my world with me
So there will never be
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't going no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
No more crying, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye love
So I'm standing here
Arms open wide
Ready to give my heart
I'm sure this time
Love's gonna last for life
Baby I know things change
And there might be some rain
But the clouds are gonna fade
And the sun is gonna shine again
Shine light on our love baby
So let's make it last forever
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't going no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
No more crying, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye love
Da da da da da
E.B. couldn't believe what was 18 inches in front of him that had sung the song so beautifully. The figure had her back to E.B., and he had heard the figure sigh and it said, "Maybe I'll be a famous singer oneday..."
The figure had turned around and E.B.'s blue eyes went wide and his jaw slightly dropped.
The figure that had sung the song was a bunny-rabbit like him. It was a girl! Her fur was a creamy tan and was neatly brushed. Her eyes were periwinkle-blue, and the moon made them gleam beautifully in the night.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and a black & blue plaid skirt. She was thin; and it looked like her two long ears formed a high pony-tail since she had on a big blueberry-blue rubberband.
She was truly pretty to E.B. She was the most prettiest bunny he's ever seen.
The bunny gazed at him from where she was in surprise. But she smiled and hopped over to E.B.. E.B. still kept his expression on his face. She giggled at how he looked.
She has the most cutest giggle I've ever heard... E.B. thought daydreamingly.
"So uh, what's your name?" she asked him. Her voice was soft & quiet, yet heavenly. She looked at him for an answer. "Um... uh... um..." was all that E.B. managed to say. The girl rabbit covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing at him.
E.B. cleared his throat and stuck out his paw for a handshake. "My name's E.B.," he said in a normal tone. The girl bunny smiled again and took his paw to shake. "I'm Kaitlyn," she said.
Kaitlyn... that's so cute, E.B. said in his thoughts.
"So, where did you come from?" Kaitlyn asked, as she looked down at her feet. "Erm..." E.B. said as he rubbed the back of his head searching for the right words. "Somewhere very far away," he exclaimed.
"Oh, well I'm from here," Kaitlyn said with a half-hearted smile.
"Well, are there any more rabbits that are as beautiful as you here?" E.B. said swooningly. Kaitlyn laughed. "You're quite a 'charmer' aren't you?" She said playfully.
"Yep. You can call me 'E.B. the Handsome Charmer'," E.B. joked as he gave Kaitlyn his most flirtacious smirk. Kaitlyn slightly blushed even though she didn't want to. She playfully rolled her eyes and quickly changed the subject. "So anyways, w-what did you think of my...s-singing?" she asked nervously, afraid that she would get a negative response.
"Well, honestly I thought it was beautiful, really," E.B. replied. "You-you did?" She asked, surprised by his answer. "Well.. yeah. You have an amazing singing-voice," E.B. said with full honesty. Kaitlyn's eyes widened and felt a shy smile creep upon her lips. "Wow.. thank you," She said. She turned around and looked up at the starry night sky.
E.B. hopped beside her and looked up at the twinkling stars with her. "You know E.B., ever since I was a kid.. I've always wanted to become famous singer... It has always been my dream to sing in front of crowds of people so that they could enjoy my singing, too," Kaitlyn said as she continued to gaze at the beautiful sky.
E.B. looked at her carefully. "Well, why don't you try to seek your dream?" E.B. asked quietly, as he seemed to notice that himself and Kaitlyn wanted to fulfill a dream. "Well, I don't think I have the exposure to fulfill that dream. I mean, humans will probably be AFRAID of me since I talk...even though I have talent," Kaitlyn exclaimed.
"Oh don't think like that, Kate. I loved your singing, so I bet even humans will too," E.B. stated reassuringly, "I mean, I came all the way here just so that I can have my dream," he added.
"What dream is that?" Kaitlyn asked. "Well-I've-always-wanted-to-be-a-drummer-in-a-band-but-my-dad-said-that-I-would-have-to-be-the-Easter-Bunny-but-I-don't-wanna-be-that-so-I-ran-away-from-home-and-" E.B. was babbling so fast that everything he said sounded like gibberish to Kaitlyn, which she looked at him like he was crazy.
E.B. nervously cleared his throat and pretended that he never said that. "Uh... I wanna be a drummer in a band," he simply said. Kaitlyn blinked twice. "Oh... okay," She said, "well I guess we both have a dream,"
E.B. suddenly had an idea. "Why don't we both set out to go find our dreams..." E.B. suggested with a sense of sheepishness in his voice. "What?" she chuckled. E.B. looked at the ground. "I mean you know... like what I'm planning to do. Go to a place where everyone could hear & appreciate my talent and become famous," He explained.
"Also I was, sorta kinda thinkin' that maybe you would like to, tally along with me..." he added excitedly, "Think about it, Kate," Kaitlyn took a deep breath and sighed.
"Okay, E.B., I'll go with you-" She answered like it wasn't a big deal, and was surprised that E.B. gave her a gentle hug. "Thanks, Kate!" He said cheerfully. Kaitlyn blushed at her new nickname, "Kate" that E.B. had given her.
Kaitlyn yawned softly. "But can we head out tomorrow? I'm too tired now," she said tiredly. E.B. then yawned too. "Alright, then,"
Kaitlyn and E.B. went under a nearby tree and layed on the soft grass. As soon as E.B. layed down, he automatically fell asleep.
Kaitlyn smiled. He's even cuter when he's sleeping, she thought to herself. She scooted over closer to him and rested her head on his chest and slowly closed her eyes. Listening to E.B.'s steady heart had put her to sleep.
That's the first chapter :) Hope you at least thought this story is awesome ^^
Oh, and the song that Kaitlyn sung was 'Never Say Goodbye' by JoJo xD
Review if you want to, please :)

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by adult_squid, Aug 7, 2004.
Anything good about this racquet?
I'm asking because i like the price
suprisingly good racquet. solid, great control. extremely, insanely light and, consequently, low powered, i.e., no mass.
we sold them for a while and they were universally loved across ability levels.
hey thanks for the reply
do you know anything about the Ti s2 comfort zone
or any other good cheap racquets
If you want a cheap racquet try the ti.Radical MP, it's fairly light weight with good control.
Yes, the ti.Radical Oversize would be a good choice too.
The "S" series is for guys with short swings and who don't want to increase their skill. I strongly recommend the Radical or a similar racquet.
Separate names with a comma.

The Thortech Thunderbolt Plus 1200W box is large and heavy. The top of the package has two carry handles which are made from a felt material.
The top of the box opens up to reveal the power supply underneath thick foam padding.
The contents are extensive. The modular cables are stored inside a felt bag. There is also a regional specific power connector, the iPower Meter, mounting screws and a bag of cable ties to help with the installation phase of the system build. The company also supply a 'quick installation guide', which is a basic user manual.
The iPower meter can be installed inside a 5.25 inch drive bay and offers read out values for power consumption, voltages and efficiency. It can also list temperature and the speed of the fan in RPM.
iPower Meter also can adjust the fan to one of two speeds, 'quiet' and 'full'. Quiet mode is based on PWM, and related to internal temperatures. Full mode spins the fan at 100% all the time, regardless of internal temperature.
We would advise to leave this on the standard quiet mode. We think this is a cool addition to the bundle.
Thortech supply a felt bag which opens up to reveal the modular cables.
Above left are the modular cables, and above right – the hardwired cables which emerge directly from the power supply chassis. We would have liked to see less hardwired and more modular cables however.
All of the cables are sleeved to high quality (18AWG).
|MB 20+4 pin
|x1 (530mm)
|EPS12V 4+4 pin
|x1 (580mm)
|EPS12V 8 pin
|x1 (580mm)
|PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2)
|x4 (hardwired – 580mm) &
x4 (modular – 580mm)
|Sata power connectors
|x4 (hardwired – 580mm + 150mm)
x8 (modular – 480mm + 150mm)
|Peripheral 4 pin (molex)
|x6 (530mm + 180mm)
|Floppy connector
|x1 (180mm)
|iPower Meter 6 Pin
There are no shortage of cables with the Thortech Thunderbolt Plus 1200W, much as we would expect in this price range. This supply can cater to the most demanding of systems with up to 4 high end video cards. The 20+4 pin cable is a little short for such a high end 1200W power supply however, as are the EPS connectors. 650mm would be an ideal length for super tower cases.

HIST 119 - Lecture 11 - Slavery and State Rights, Economies and Ways of Life: What Caused the Civil War?
Lecture 11 - Slavery and State Rights, Economies and Ways of Life: What Caused the Civil War?
Professor Blight begins this lecture with an attempt to answer the question "why did the South secede in 1861?" Blight offers five possible answers to this question: preservation of slavery, "the fear thesis," southern nationalism, the "agrarian thesis," and the "honor thesis." After laying out the roots of secession, Blight focuses on the historical profession, suggesting some of the ways in which historians have attempted to explain the coming of the Civil War. Blight begins with James Ford Rhodes, a highly influential amateur historian in the late nineteenth century, and then introduces Charles and Mary Beard, whose economic interpretations of the Civil War had their heyday in the 1920s and 1930s.

It makes you pine for the days of the blinding intellect and policy specificity inherent in the phrase "hope and change." We are told that "Forward" may be the new Obama campaign mantra. That was the title, at any rate, of the video that attempted to set the stage for the general election. It's actually a perfect metaphor, executed with perfect hypocrisy by the Obama team.
The slogan is, like the president it touts, entirely devoid of substance. Delivered with blame and foreboding about George W. Bush and the potential return of his policies (hopefully including the ones in which we defended freedom and didn't berate the private sector), it is really all about looking backward. As CBS News noted: "The video reminds viewers of the dire state of the economy in early 2009, when Mr. Obama took office, and all that the president has accomplished since then — even in the face of Republican obstruction."
So are we looking forward or to the past? Is the real message that there will always be someone to blame for President Obama's failings? It's a bit of a muddle.
But it does illustrate how difficult it is for an incumbent to turn a reelection campaign into something other than a referendum. "Forward" entails a great deal of back-patting, because otherwise you'd want to get off the train. That opens you up to an examination of the record you are touting.
"Forward"also suggests how difficult it will be for Obama to run without reference to ideology, now that he's been president for three and a half years. "Hope and change" famously left a blank slate on which voters could project their own conceptions of the president. But "Forward" carries the baggage of a liberal statist insistent on plunging ahead with more of the same.
The "Forward" message is also laughably dismissive of the intelligence and initiative of the electorate. Don't ask for details, just march along!
I can't help but think back to that famous ad Obama ran against Hillary Clinton. Now it's Obama who's the Big Brother, telling the drones to follow the leader.

Illini Kevin Johnson shuts down St John's, 4-0
Raise a glass to Kevin Johnson… and to the fine Illini defense. Today, the good guys defeated the St John's Red Storm 4-0 at the first day of the Coastal Carolina Invitational at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. With the win, Illinois reaches the .500 mark at 4-4.
Johnson (right) pitched a superb game, no doubt about it. He threw seven shutout innings spreading out seven hits and walking three for his first win of the year (interestingly, he didn't strike out any batters). Big Ten, I hope Kevin Johnson is on already your short list for Pitcher of the Week!
Ronnie Muck finished off St John's by pitching two perfect innings striking out two batters. This gives Illinois its first shutout in 69 games.
Defense played a big part in the Illinois victory today. Illini glove men participated in no less than four double plays no doubt endearing them to Johnson. And while the offense didn't score gobs of runs, they scored enough. A key, in my opinion, is that they scored early. A two-run first inning surely helped Johnson relax. Thomas Lindauer, who had three hits on the game, was part of that two-run inning. He led off the Illini first with a base hit. Both he and Justin Parr scored when Jordan Parr drove home on a single.
As good as the Illini defense was, the Red Storm's defense seemed to be a bit off. That proved costly for St John's. After Davis Hendrickson reached base on a bunt single, he advanced on a E-1. He then scored on an error on a pickoff attempt. In the seventh, Lindhauer hit a one-out double and then scored on a throwing error by the St J's right fielder during a Willie Argo base hit.
Here's the link to FightingIllini.com game recap including a video interview with Kevin Johnson.
This was the second win against St John's this year for the Illini. No disrespect towards the Red Storm who are reputed to have a great team but I'm sure the Illini squad will miss them.
Next up
Coastal Carolina Invitational action continues as Nick Chmielewski takes the mound versus Pittsburgh tomorrow at noon.
The Illini have played Pitt once before. Raise your hand if you remember the game. I'm sure the Illinois veterans do. It was the first game of the 2011 season at the Big Ten/BIG EAST Challenge. Illinois held a 1-0 lead before Pitt exploded for 10 runs in the bottom of the fifth. The Illini rallied for five in the seventh inning but it was too little too late.
Maybe a little payback is in store.
In other news…
It was just announced yesterday that former Illini pitcher Chris Pack has been signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. Pack pitched for the Illini last year and played for the Joliet Slammers in the 2011 season.
Congrats, Chris!

US President
On a surprise flying visit to Kabul on the first anniversary of the killing of terrorist leader
Less than two hours after Mr Obama left Afghanistan airspace, explosions shook the capital. The Interior Ministry said a suicide attacker had set off a large bomb at the gates of a compound used by foreigners in the east of Kabul, killing six Afghans.
The agreement asks the Afghan security forces to take the lead in combat operations against insurgents from next year. Local force strength will peak at 352,000 troops.
US, NATO and allied combat forces will be withdrawn from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, as previously agreed. But allied personnel will remain to train and support inexperienced local security forces, and conduct counter-terrorist operations. Troop drawdowns after 23,000 head home this northern summer will be determined on a needs basis.
In a televised address to the American people from Bagram airbase near Kabul, Mr Obama said the "enormous sacrifices of our men and women are not over".
Relations between Americans and Afghans have been strained by inadvertent Koran burnings by US troops, reprisals and killings.
Mr Obama held out the prospect for an eventual end to a decade-long entanglement costing nearly 2900 allied lives, including more than 1800 Americans and 32 Australians, and a chance to use the peace dividend to rebuild America.
"As we emerge from a decade of conflict abroad and economic crisis at home, it is time to renew America," Mr Obama said, with an eye on November's Presidential elections.
The President has been criticised for seeking political capital from operation to run down and kill the Bin Laden, which he ordered against the advice of some national security advisers.
The withdrawal will not come easily. NATO and its allies have not been able to subdue the Taliban, which harboured al-Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks and will now be a party to peace negotiations under the deal signed with President
"We have made it clear that they can be a part of this future if they break with al-Qaeda, renounce violence and abide by Afghan laws. ," Mr Obama said.
Pakistan, where Osama Bin Laden fled from Afghanistan and was found hiding out in a military town a year ago by the US Navy Seals who killed him, will also have to be drawn into negotiations over security in South Asia. Relations with Pakistan have been strained ever since.
Mr Obama said a plan for peace and stability in South Asia would be thrashed out at this month's NATO summit in Chicago
"I have made it clear to Afghanistan's neighbour – Pakistan – that it can and should be an equal partner in this process in a way that respects Pakistan's sovereignty, interests, and democratic institutions," he said.
"In pursuit of a durable peace, America has no designs beyond an end to al-Qaeda safe havens, and respect for Afghan sovereignty."
Mr Obama acknowledged that that outcome would not be ideal for America or its allies.
Still, he said, the original goal of defeating al-Qaeda was close to being achieved and the Afghans deserved a chance to build their own peaceful future .
"Our goal is not to build a country in America's image, or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban," Mr Obama said "Afghans want to fully assert their sovereignty and build a lasting peace. That requires a clear time line to wind down the war."

Brattleboro restaurant accused of serving oranges from dumpster
BRATTLEBORO — Japanese restaurant employees are being accused of serving oranges taken from a dumpster, according to a complaint filed with the Vermont Department of Health.
"Establishment employees are taking food (oranges) out of Aldi's dumpster and serving it at the restaurant," the document said, referring to Panasian on Putney Road.
Panasian manager Paul Bau told the Reformer it was a misunderstanding.
"We already contacted the person taking things from the dumpster," he said, explaining police told Panasian that items cannot be taken from a dumpster belonging to another business. "He's gone."
A press release from the Brattleboro Police Department was issued Tuesday. The incident was reported by an individual on Dec. 26, according to the complaint.
State health inspector Thomas Hubbell filed a report four days later saying a manager at Panasian stated some employees take food home from Aldi's dumpster but it is not used in the restaurant.
"I informed the manager that the employees should not take food from Aldi's dumpster. It is an unsanitary practice and they could become ill," Hubbell wrote. "I will notify Aldi's."

Caledonia Warriors will play Moose Lake-Willow River in Dome Friday for third straight state title
The Caledonia Warriors will be playing for their third straight Class AA state title after a thrilling, 26-24 win over B.O.L.D. in the semi-finals Thursday afternoon at the Metrodome.
The Warriors will play for the Class 2A championship at the Metrodome on Friday, Nov. 23 against Moose Lake-Willow River.
Brad Strub's 21 yard run on third and 14 at the Warriors own 40 yard line with less than three minutes to play in the game proved to be the difference after BOLD had pulled within two points with five minutes to play on Tyler Rock's touchdown from five yards out. Strub's run gave Caledonia a huge first down and kept the clock running. But BOLD had a final chance after Caledonia was forced to punt. See more in Brady Ambrose's Caledonia Argus story.

However, I've encountered some strangeness that is probably my own fault: >>> g = stats.gamma(1,0,1) >>> g <scipy.stats.distributions.rv_frozen object at 0x1b9b2b0> >>> g.ppf(0.1) 0.10536051565782635 >>> g.ppf(0.25) 0.0 >>> g.ppf(0.2500001) 0.28768220578512327 >>> g.ppf(0.2499999) 0.28768193911845646 >>> g.ppf(0.25) 0.0 I'm just dying to know where I've gone wrong here! In the meantime, I'm coding up a function to compute the inverse CDF from MATLAB code. I'm using Snow Leopard with Python 2.5.4 (bypassing default system Python 2.6.1), numpy-1.3.0 and scipy-0.7.1, both compiled from source.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
I spoke to the doctors about his health for 2 reasons I wanted to know as his mum and also the hospital had made serious errors in the past and I was concerned. He allowed me speak to the doctors because I approached the doctor first who said we cannot speak until we have your son's permission. The doctor walked into the room behind me as I asked my son so he had no choice but to say yes.
I spoke to the doctor and my son's initial response at the end of the meeting was 'that was useful' however it then descended into the usual row of not asking his permission.
He is right of course but I was desperate to find out if they had a plan. My son is very close to me shares everything and then goes off the deep end when it suits him
I have now got gastritis and am on sick leave due to the feelings of absolute helplessness, hurt and fear for his health problems..
I keep crying.

It may be the end of the outdoor music festival season, but you wouldn't be able to tell it by the weather these days.
And there are still a few outdoor music events happening around Monterey County, but on a much smaller scale, of course.
For example, Kiki Wow is still presenting her outdoor acoustic music shows at Rosie's Country Store in Carmel Valley, although the times have changed to 3-5 p.m. This week it features the rockin' duo of K Mello and Mike Mahoney, or as they're known InBtween.
There's no cover, donations are cheerfully accepted, most Sundays there's a dynamite barbecue menu available and also check out the offerings at the store (the "bandstand" is out back).
It's a very casual, laid-back atmosphere with a thrift shop variety of chairs, tables, lamps, even sofas, for patrons to use. Very Carmel Valley, if you know what I mean.
The only other venue that does outdoor music is Schooners at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Cooper's Pub, both on Cannery Row, although the shows at Cooper's are at night, when we all know things can get a mite chilly (kudos to whoever invented the ubiquitous gas heaters).
And, the Henry Miller Memorial Library is still doing shows as long as the weather holds out, such as the sold-out First Aid Kit concert there on Thursday night.
And just down the road apiece, at the Fernwood Campground and its rustic Redwood Stage (which was used last wekend for the Big Sur Jamboree music fest), acclaimed Americana troubadour Steve Earle and his band The Dukes will perform Tuesday night in a show presented by FolkYEAH! Presents.
Earle, of course, is one of the foremost Americana artists in the world today, not only as a singer-songwriter, but record producer, author and actor (he memorably played characters in HBO's "The Wire" and "Treme," as a street musician.
His latest album, "The Low Highway," is garnering some of the strongest reviews of his career. Earle played last year at the library as a solo act; this time he'll have his whole band with him, which may even include his wife, country singer Alison Moorer.
Details can be found at folkyeah.com.
In addition to the big Kickstarter show with Fire in the Hamptons Saturday night at Planet Gemini, there are a number of well-known acts playing locally, including '80s favorites REO Speedwagon at the Fox Theater in Salinas.
Although the band's heyday was in the '80s, they're still popular on the festival and fair circuit, often teaming with other '80s bands such as Styx and Journey. One of their big hits was recently featured in a scene of the indie film "The Way, Way Back" in which a 16-year-old character was singing, only to be overheard by his cute neighboor. "Are you singing REO Speedwagon?" Ahh, today's youth, reliving the glory days of the '80s.
Tickets to the 7:30 p.m. show are available at 758-8459 or at Vallitix.com.
And blue-eyed soul singer Andy Davis, whose songs have been featured on "Grey's Anatomy," "Jersey Shore" and "One Tree Hill" and who has opened for artists such as Colbie Caillat, Jakob Dylan, Mat Kearney, Will Hoge, Howie Day and Needtobreathe, plays a house concert Saturday afternoon in Seaside.
His last album, "Heartbreak Yellow" hit No. 2 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts in early 2012.
Davis plays at The Venue, 1242 Siddall Court, in Seaside, with Dyemusica and Andrea Delacruz opening. The show is from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, cover is $15 and potluck theme is Asian food. Come to think of it, there's another daytime outdoor concert.
And there are two good shows with a Celtic flair this week. First up is rollicking Irish piper Paddy Keenan, who has been called the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes, plus Bay Area guitarist Richard Mandel performing at St. Mary's By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in Pacific Grove as part of the church's Celtic music series. Info is at www.brownpapertickets.com, 224-3819 or email@example.com.
Then on Tuesday night, the British Isles folk-rock group The Waterboys, probably best known for the lively "Fisherman's Blues" from 1988 and 1985's epic "This Is the Sea," plays the Sunset Center in Carmel.
This is the band's first full North American tour since 2007 and the band's longest ever. The band is touring in support of its latest album "An Appointment With Mr. Yeats," which mounts legendary Irish poet W.B. Yeats' classic poems in modern musical settings.
Show start is 7:30 p.m., tickets at 620-2048 or www.sunsetcenter.org.
And another group that hails from the British Isles (do I detect a theme here?), The Good Intentions, winners of the British Country Music Awards as Best Americana Act of 2011, plays Saturday night at Plaza Linda in Carmel Valley.
"If you can have such a thing as the perfect British Americana sound, they've got it," said Alan Cackett of Maverick Magazine.
Show starts at 7:30 p.m., with singer-songwriter Dafni opening, $10 at the door and info at 659-4229. Best to make reservations for this show, it's a cozy venue (Plaza Linda serves Mexican food and a dynamite Margarita).
And check out local producet (Seaside, I believe) singer-songwriter Bernadetta Conant) performing Thursday night at the Safari Club at the Bay Park Hotel in Monterey with her new duo, Bernie & The Wolf. Welcome back, Bernie!

Princess Ada's large jugs reign good of all the rest. We had the absolute enjoyment of spending quality time with her awesome breasts and exceptional bootie, gratefully she wore a watch-thru undergarments was the flawless attire for the occasion. Ada put on a sumptuous sensuous demonstrate which had us hypnotized. Briefly after her shaft inducing taunt, she prayed for some fuck-stick. Gavin obliged but not before having some joy her joy bags. Shortly after wringing, spanking and juggling Ada's titties, Galvin humped her taut cunt. He ultimately unloaded an unbelievable amount of cum all over her pretty face and juggs

I could've killed you. I had you while you were rummaging around in the front there. I know you did what you did for a reason and part of me understands. But the other part sees you with your back turned to me and knows I could've killed you."
—Lilly's determinant words to Lee after escaping custody.[src]
Lilly is an original character who first appeared in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season One. She is both a quick thinker, and a leader; she is also straight to the point regardless of how people react or feel about what she has to say. However, she does have a kinder side to her, and will appreciate others when they deserve itAt first glance, Lilly is quick to earn the dislike or disrespect from the group, particularly due to her association with Larry, her father, and her constant take on siding with him. For the better part of the episodes, Lilly assumes the role of the group's de-facto leader, probably out of the reason that nobody wants to take up the responsibility.
As Lilly has military experience (Air Force, specifically), she handles herself pretty well among the men and isn't afraid to speak her mind in order to protect her father and herself. Additionally, she is knowledgeable in survival tactics and firearms, which became a trait for good leadership. She even set up a training regimen for the adults in the group. In general, Lilly is rather bossy and possessive, having the need to control the group in a way that she sees fit. An interesting point to note however, is that when Larry starts acting out in a fit of rage, she is quick to act as a pacifist and attempts to calm him down, to no avail at times. This shows that unlike her father, she does not bear the similar bitterness and resentment that he has for everyone else, although she does have a temper not to be reckoned with

Self Caring
Know Your Caregiver Limits
Last updated: Sep 29, 2010
Caregiver Quote of the Week: "A caregiver is like a frog in slowly boiling water"¦You don't always recognize what's happening to you."
The speaker is a New York City caregiver whose husband has Alzheimer's disease. She's talking about how the demands of caregiving sneak up on you.
She's right. At the same time, though, we're not frogs: We have the power to pay attention to the [red flags a caregiver needs a break] (https://www.caring.com/articles/alzheimers-caregiver-needs-break) and find ways to lower the water temperature. Or we can hop out of the hot seat every once in awhile by finding relief (respite) care before we boil alive.
More ways to avoid burnout? Remember these few other things a caregiver is not:
I am not a robot.
I need to eat, drink, bathe, sleep!! I also need to have time alone to think/plan/dream/cry. My schedule can't be entirely about the other person or I will soon be in need of a caregiver myself. (So I need to help the people in my life understand this.)
I am not an octopus.
I can do one or two things at a time, but not six or eight. Even if it sometimes looks like I can. That is a temporary illusion, usually in a crisis. (It can't be kept up indefinitely because no, I'm not a magician, either.)
I am not a visitor from another time dimension.
I only have the same number of hours in my day as everybody else. If I "burn the candle at both ends," I burnout.
I am not a professional caregiver.
Most of us aren't, and yet we're doing jobs for which we have no training or preparation. No wonder it's stressful. And yes "" even the "professionals" I know "" nurses, care managers, home health aides, physicians "" who are caring for a loved one will tell you their training and experience can feel different when applied to a family member. I can learn fast and be proud of what I manage -- but if even the pros flail and worry about their own loved ones, then of course it's natural the rest of us should.
I am not God.
My decisions aren't the ultimate determinants of my loved one's fate. I can only do so much"¦and then it's out of my hands. I can't blame myself for the outcome if I fail to do one small thing or another"¦or don't consult one more super specialist...or pick a "wrong" care decision"¦or let someone else step in for me. I'm not "jinxing" anything by calling in palliative services or hospice care if it's recommended. Despite doing my best, I'm just a team player here.

5D Mark II : AF Problem on side AF points & Weak Readings insdie ViewFinder
-1. Auto Focus Hesitation:
I bought the 5D Mark II on Dec 11th in HK. For the first few days, I took photos at night for night activities to test its abilities for high ISO shootings and found that 5D Mark II were difficult to successfully auto focus, I had been using the 35L, 135L and 24-70L lenses for the shoots, and these lenses have been used on my previous 50D for two months without experiencing such "auto focus hesitation" problem. So at first I thought it was due to weak lighting.
However, yesterday, I took photos in the afternoon with good sunlight, and in additional, I also use my 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM, together with the above three lenses, all these L lenses experience same difficulties. I also found that using the center point as AF point, it will not have the problem, but when using the edge AF points, then the problem happens.
So I think this could be a problem only on my 5D Mark II, and brought it to the Canon repair center in HK this afternoon ( Dec 22nd) and checking with their technical personnel. He then took another 5D Mark II to compare. So far, the problem found are same on both units, so it seems the problem is not just on my Camera. The additional finding is that, the center AF point, and the vertical two points ( these two AF points change when using the the camera horizontally or vertically) can AF quickly. However, the left and right most two points (again AF points change depend on the Camera positioning) are the worse, when using these horizontal extreme two points to do AF, it will "hesitate" and dificult to lock-on to correctly focus the subject. The other four points are in the mid way, they are worse when the camera is at horizontal positioning, but get better when doing vertical shooting. So it seems only AF points close to the center can be used for AF to get a quick AF result, but those AF points that are further away from center will be difficult to obtain AF. This is annoying when try to shoot moving persons, as it may not be possible to use the center or vertical points to AF.
2. The Reading inside the View Finder are hard to read under sunlight.
The readings on the lower bottom inside the View Finder are too dim when doing shootings at bright sunlight situation. I cannot find any user adjustment for brightening these readings. But it is difficult to read when doing daylight shootings. I found the light is similar on my friends 5D Mark II, so this, again, is not a problem on my individual unit. To compare, there is no such problem on my 50D.
Canon HK said the AF problem have not been shown on any other models, and only on 5D Mark II. They will check with Japan side and respond back to me later.

The Almost to Release FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES Album on 4/9
THE ALMOST--the acclaimed rock group fronted by lead vocalist/guitarist AARON GILLESPIE--will return April 9 with their third album FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES for Tooth & Nail/EMI/Universal. The album's preview track is "Ghost," which echoes with unbridled blues intensity before converging on a divinely heavy refrain.
THE ALMOST are in the midst of a cross-country tour previewing the new songs for their rising fan base nationwide. In between headlining shows, the band will team with Finch for their "What It Is To Burn" tour this spring, while AARON and JAY VILARDI lead guitarist for The Almost will also join the To Write Love On Her Arms tour for a handful of acoustic performances. See all current dates listed below.
To cut FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES, The Almost retreated to Nashville's Omni Studios with producer Marshall Altman (Tom Morello, Ingrid Michaelson, William Fitzsimmons). All the songs were recorded together in a single room completely live. "It wasn't a piecemeal process as the majority of modern records are," explains GILLESPIE. "The album was born at that moment from our collective blood, sweat and tears." In those five days, the musicians tapped into elegantly visceral energy built from a blues-rock vibe that they modernized. Other album highlights include the relentless rocker "Fight Song," the powerful and complicated anthem "I Won't Let Go," and "I'm Down" which streams ahead like a Southern freight train before the singer soulfully proclaims in the chorus, "Don't count me out."
Across the entire album, GILLESPIE continues to wear his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't hold anything back within the lyrics or music. Amidst all of the thundering rhythms and massive riffs, THE ALMOST's honesty re-sounds the loudest. "There's hope," GILLESPIE concludes. "People are free to feel the way they feel and go through what they are going through. Music is the great communicator. This is my soundtrack, heartbeat and who I want to be. I hope everyone feels like this record belongs to them."
THE ALMOST have come a long way since the release of their 2007 debut Southern Weather (Tooth & Nail/Universal). Taking a break from the gold-selling Underoath, the project allowed GILLESPIE to explore other musical avenues, playing every instrument and singing. However, everything truly came to life on their sophomore 2009's Monster, Monster. The line-up--AARON GILLESPIE (lead vocalist/lyrics/guitar), JAY VILARDI (guitars), DUSTY REDMON (guitars), JON THOMPSON (bass), JOE MUSTEN (drums)--had solidified and they played to rabid crowds around the world. Expect more dates and radio news for 2013 and beyond to be announced soon via http://thealmost.com.

Police found a 13-year-old runaway girl Thursday at a Chula Vista apartment where she had been staying with a 21-year-old convicted felon she met through Facebook.
Jonathan Nunez was arrested on suspicion of statutory rape and being a felon in possession of a loaded firearm and ammunition, police Lt. Scott Arsenault said.
The girl left her Bakersfield home with Nunez on March 10, Arsenault said. He said the two had been communicating on Facebook after the death of the girl's brother, who knew Nunez.
Bakersfield detectives on Thursday evening asked Chula Vista police to look for the girl at an apartment on Naples Street where Nunez lived with his mother and grandmother, Arsenault said.
Officers went to the apartment and saw the girl walking by, so they stopped her. Nunez showed up and was questioned, then arrested about 7:40 p.m. Arsenault said officers found a loaded pistol in Nunez' vehicle, and ammo, a police tactical vest, belt and holster in the residence.
The girl was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Her mother was driving from Bakersfield to Chula Vista Thursday night to take her daughter home, Arsenault said.
He said Nunez had been convicted of grand theft and was on probation.

As a parent of a student who attends UVA Wise, I am so grateful the report was taken seriously and a plan of action initiated. This was a terrifying 2 hours for us and our daughter. She had called me right after the mass text was sent to the students. Of course she and other students did what they were told and immediately went to their rooms, locked the doors, and turned off the lights. Our daughter and her roommates then moved to the bathroom for more safety. We kept in close contact via texting for nearly 2 hours during the ordeal. Lots of prayers went up!
Even though the student who falsely reported a gunman confessed later I and many others are so grateful this report was taken seriously and thank all of the Wise County, VA police, all of the State Troopers, and the UVA Wise officials.

Xbox One titles - including shop-bought disc-bases titles - will require a one-time activation to register them to specific Xbox LIVE accounts, it's been suggested.
The news follows an evening of confusion over the topic, which saw conflicting statements and muddled announcements dripping out of various Microsoft representatives and media outlets.
Speaking to Eurogamer, corporate vice president Phil Harrison revealed that players will be able to install and play games onto another user's Xbox One console, but that person will be unable to play the title unless signed into the original owner's profile.
"I can come to your house and I can put the disc into your machine and I can sign in as me and we can play the game," he said.
"The bits are on your hard drive. At the end of the play session, when I take my disc home - or even if I leave it with you - if you want to continue to play that game [on your profile] then you have to pay for it. The bits are already on your hard drive, so it's just a question of going to our [online] store and buying the game, and then it's instantly available to play.
"The bits that are on the disc, I can give to anybody else, but if we both want to play it at the same time, we both have to own it. That's no different to how discs operate today."
All Xbox LIVE profiles associated with the console the game was originally registered on, however, will be able to access the content.
It hasn't yet been revealed how Microsoft will tackle the issue of pre-owned software, though, beyond confirmation that the console will support used games.
"We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we've confirmed today," explained Microsoft's Larry Hyrb. "While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.
"Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios."
Confused yet? So is Microsoft, it seems.

Apparently, we've only just begun to see the full extent of Paul Ceglia's fraudulence. The litigant seeking to claim half ownership of Facebook has a papertrail of deceit that attorneys for the social network wants admitted to court faster than is usual for fact-finding stages in a case.
Facebook's forensics experts have determined that Paul Ceglia altered a 2003 contract — via "cut-and-paste" — and made up 175 emails that he claims to have exchanged with Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg, who never received any of them.
The social network has also hired private investigators who've discovered that Ceglia was involved in fraudulent land schemes. This adds to previously found scams for selling wood pellets, in addition to a conviction for hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Attorneys for the social network want more of his documents, along with his computer, admitted into the legal proceedings.
We've embedded copies of Facebook's filings to that effect below — the exhibits come first, since they're more exciting, and the memorandum comes after.
Readers, let us know what you think about them.

It's not just those fiery locks that have this mom/daughter combination looking alike.8. Gwyneth and Apple Paltrow
Little Apple totally looks like her Iron Man actress mom did before she was Tony Stark's Pepper Potts.9. Vanessa Paradis and Lily Rose Depp
Exuding the French sophistication of her mother, Lily Rose is a mirror image of her mom in her youth.10. Kim Kardashian-West and North West
Just look at that adorable cow lick!11. Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson
These two always rank top of the list of mother/daughter duos who look like each other. These days, at 37-years-old, Kate Hudson looks even more like her mom Goldie did at the same age.12. Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber
Could Kaia also be headed for supermodel status? It looks like it judging by these pictures.Which mother/chid combination made your jaw drop?

Elise Gordon is the Math Resource Teacher at a Title I school in Palm Beach County School District in Florida. She has her Master's degree in Elementary Education from Palm Beach Atlantic University and has been teaching for the past ten years. Prior to teaching, she was a physical therapist for 20 years, and has her BS from the University of Connecticut in Physical Therapy.
Elise Gordon runs her school's math lab where students in grades 2-5 visit once a week for an extra hour of math focusing on building, drawing and writing about mathematics. Many of her lessons incorporate Gizmos. Elise feels that the rich visual support and varied levels of activities provide students with "just the right challenge."
Lantana Elementary uses Gizmos as part of a Title I initiative to help support the needs of economically disadvantaged students. Elise shares, "Many of our students have parents or guardians who work two jobs, and they have limited involvement with the school. Also, students often don't have access to computers outside of school." Her role helps provide these students with the extra support they need to help close the achievement gap.
In the computer lab, Elise incorporates Gizmos in her lessons in various ways. To model a process or concept, she will often use Gizmos in whole class instruction. For example, she uses the Quilting Bee Symmetry Gizmo to demonstrate finding lines of symmetry and whether a shape has rotational or line symmetry. "Gizmos use technology as a bridge between pictorial and abstract mathematics allowing the children to manipulate the math."
She also uses Gizmos during partner work and for enrichment of students who need a further challenge in a specific topic or extra practice. She shares, "I have created lessons around the Finding Patterns Gizmo where the students build, draw, and write to continue the pattern started in the Gizmo. Gizmos allows the students to 'experiment' with cause and effect in mathematics and gives them non-punitive feedback. The Gizmos quizzes are of high quality, too."
A big thanks to Elise for all she does to support student success with Gizmos!
