NFL 2017 Week 15 Recap
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts was the Thursday night game. Sometimes a pair of bad teams can come together and produce a great game for the ages. This was not that game. Denver's quarterback carousel started with Trevor Siemian, who was quickly intercepted to set the Colts up at midfield. Jacoby Brissett ran for a 7 yard touchdown to make it 7-0 Colts. Denver moved after a touchback to a 1st and goal at the Indy 7. On 3rd and goal, Siemian was sacked and a delay of game meant 4th and goal at the 22. The normally reliable Brandon McManus missed the 40 yard field goal try. In the second quarter Adam Vinatieri hit a 45 yard field goal to make it 10-0 Colts.
Siemian left the game with an injured shoulder and Brock Osweiler played the rest of the way. After a touchback, Denver moved to a 4th and 2 at the Indy 33. Vance Joseph decided to go for it and Osweiler hit Emanuel Sanders for 3 yards. A short pass to Devontae Booker saw Booker hurdle over a defender and race for a touchdown. The highlight reel score was nullified by offensive holding. Yet on 2nd and 16, Osweiler hit Sanders for 17 yards. On 3rd and 9 from the colts 18, Osweiler scrambled for the touchdown as the Broncos got within 10-7 with 1:19 left in the half. In the third quarter the Colts moved 54 yards in 12 plays and 6 minutes. On 3rd and 3 from the Denver 21, Brissett threw incomplete. Vinatieri hit from 39 to make it 13-7 Colts. Yet after that it was all Broncos.
Denver needed 5 minutes to move 79 yards. On 4th and 1 from the Indy 46, again Vance Joseph went for it. Osweiler through incomplete but defensive holding on Wilson meant an automatic first down. Osweiler threw a 22 yard touchdown pass to Latimer as the Broncos had their first lead of the game up 14-13 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter. Denver got it back at their own 33 and struck quickly. Osweiler went deep to Heuerman for a 54 yard touchdown. In an odd decision, vance Joseph went for a 2 point conversion. Osweiler hit Latimer for the 2 pointer and the Broncos led 22-13. Denver got it back at their own 16 to start the fourth quarter and held the ball for 16 plays and over 9 1/2 minutes. After moving 62 yards, McManus hit a 40 yard field goal to complete the scoring with 5 minutes left. With 4 minutes left, Indy's last chance had the facing 4th and 1 at their own 45. Brissett threw incomplete and the Colts were done. After the season, Vance Joseph and Chuck Pagano might both be fired. On this night, it was a good win for Joseph and sweet vindication for Osweiler. 25-13 Broncos
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions was the Saturday afternoon game. The Lions came in 7-6 and still alive in the playoff hunt. Detroit moved the ball well on their first 2 drives but had to settle for a pair of Matt Prater field goals of 48 yards in the first quarter and 31 yards on the first play of the second quarter for a 6-0 Lions lead. The Lions on their third drive moved 92 yards in 10 plays and 6 minutes and this time finished the drive.

With 18 seconds left in the half, the Bears caught a break. The Lions faced 3rd and 15 at their own 15. Just trying to run out the clock, Riddick fumbled the ball away. Mike Nugent hit a 41 yard field goal as the Bears within 13-3 at halftime.

Trubisky fired over the middle to the end zone and was intercepted, ending any chance of a competitive game. By the time the Bears reached the end zone, only 2 1/2 minutes remained in regulation. In the battle of the toughest old women in America, 92 year old Martha Ford saw her squad beat 94 year old Virginia Halas McCaskey's team. This may be the end of the line for John Fox, While Jim Caldwell was so pleased at seeing Detroit get to 8-6 that he almost made a facial expression. 20-10 Lions
Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs was the Saturday night game. The Chiefs started the season 5-0 while the Chargers began 0-4. Yet both teams entered this game 7-6 atop the AFC West. The Chiefs held the ball for 9 minutes on a 15 play, 82 yard drive. On the last play of the first quarter, Harrison Butker hit a 31 yard field goal to make it 3-0 Chiefs.

The Chargers did move 75 yards in 10 plays. Melvin Gordon on 3rd and goal ran for a 2 yard touchdown to get the Chargers within 10-6 at the 2 minute warning. The extra point was no good. The Chiefs quickly moved from their 23 to the Chargers 34 with 12 seconds left in the half. Butker's 52 yard field goal try was good, but the Chargers had called timeout just before the kick. Butker's second attempt hooked wide at the last moment no good. The Chargers took over at their own 44 with 7 seconds left. Rather than try a 63 yard field goal with 2 seconds left, it was Hail Mary time. It was knocked down incomplete.
In the third quarter the Chargers took over at their own 12 yard line. A short pass from Rivers to Gordon went for a 49 yard gain. Rivers then hit Hunter Henry for 14 more yards. On 3rd and 10 from the Chiefs 25, Rivers went to Keenan Allen for 15 yards. Rivers then threw a 10 yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates to culminate the 88 yard drive and give the Chargers their first lead up 13-10. The Chiefs soon faced 3rd and 5 at their own 36 and caught a break when the Chargers jumped offside. On 3rd and 3 at their own 48, Smith hit Kelce for 7 yards. On 3rd and 1 at the Chargers 36, Hunt banged through tackler and gained 17 yards. On 3rd and 1 from the 10, Smith executed the option and Kareem hunt gained 6 yards. Smith threw a 3 yard touchdown to Hunt to cap the 12 play, 69 yard, 7 minute drive and make it 17-13 Chiefs. Rivers then went deep and was intercepted by Marcus Peters. Peters returned the interception 62 yards to the Chargers 6 yard line. On 2nd and goal at the one, a false start pushed the Chiefs back. On 3rd and goal at the 6, a pass to Hunt was dropped and ruled incomplete. Andy Reid challenged the call unsuccessfully. Butker hit from 24 to make it 20-13 Chiefs after three quarters.

The Chiefs took over at their own 44. With 11 minutes left in regulation Butker came in for a 51 yarder to extend the lead. This time Butker was good as the Chiefs led 23-13. After a touchback, the Chargers moved to a 3rd and 8 at their own 46. Rivers hit Travis Benjamin for 7 yards as a great open field tackle by Marcus Peters denied the first down. Going for it on 4th and 1 with 8 1/2 minutes left, Rivers faced heavy pressure and was intercepted again at the Chiefs 35. Hunt ran for 23 yards. On 3rd and 5 from the Chargers 37, Smith threw incomplete but a very late flag for defensive pass interference meant 1st and 10 at the Chargers 31. Hunt then ran for another 21 yards. On 3rd and goal at the 5 with 4 minutes left, Andy Reid played it safe and kept it on the ground. Hunt went straight up the middle and put the dagger in for the touchdown as the Chiefs put the game away. The Chiefs got to 8-6 and have beaten the Chargers 8 straight times including the season sweep this year. The Chargers at 7-7 are still mathematically alive but in deep trouble. 30-13 Chiefs
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills — The Desperation Bowl had the 6-7 Dolphins at the 7-6 Bills. The Bills moved 81 yards in 10 plays and 5 minutes. LeSean Shady McCoy ran for a 4 yard touchdown to make it 7-0 Bills. Twice Miami moved the ball and twice they had to settle for Cody Parkey field goals.

Kenyon Drake got in from the one to get Miami within 24-13. With 5 minutes left on 3rd and 2 from the Miami 31, McCoy lost 5 yards. Sean McDermott opted to punt rather than try a long field goal. Despite 2nd and 3 from the Buffalo 8 with 51 seconds left, Cutler threw incomplete twice. Needing 2 scores, Adam Game went with the field goal. Parkey hit from 26 and the Dolphins recovered a perfectly executed onside kick. Yet Cutler then threw his third interception to seal things.

Green Bay Packers at Carolina Panthers — The 7-6 Packers are clinging to playoff life, but Aaron Rodgers has finally returned from injury.

Cincinnati Bengals at Minnesota Vikings — Marvin Lewis announced that after 15 years with the Bengals, he will leave after the season. Minnesota came in 10-3 with a chance to clinch the NFC North. It was all Vikings from the start. The Vikings moved 75 yards and Latavius Murray ran for a one yard touchdown to make it 7-0 Vikings. Red Rifle Andy Dalton then completed a pass to Kendricks, who plays defense for the Bengals. Kendricks returned the interception 31 yards to the house for a 14-0 Vikings lead. Marvin Lewis decided to go for it with the Bengals facing 4th and 1 at their own 38. Bernard got the carry and got stopped cold, leading to a 53 yard Kai Forbath field goal and a 17-0 Vikings lead after the first quarter. For some reason the rest of the game was played.

In the fourth quarter the Vikings moved 83 yards. Keenum hit Kyle Rudolph for the one yard touchdown to make it 34-0 Vikings.
Normally when a game is so lopsided, nobody cares about backup quarterbacks entering the game. AJ McCarron, the husband of Miss Alabama, replaced a benched Dalton. For Minnesota, it was different. Mike Zimmer gave Keenum some rest and the Minnesota crowd roared when Teddy Bridgewater took the field for the first time in nearly 2 years. A devastating knee injury nearly ended his career, and it was great to see him on the field. Bridgewater's first pass should have been caught, but it bounced off a receiver's hands for an interception. The crowd was still happy to see Bridgewater. The Bengals got a garbage touchdown to avoid the shutout as Minnesota got to 11-3 and clinched the NFC North. 34-7 Vikings
New York Jets at New Orleans Saints — The jets have fought hard all year but are out of the playoffs at 5-8 and without the injured Josh McCown. The Saints at 9-4 came in tied atop the NFC South.

With 1:22 left in the half from the Saints 17, Brees was intercepted to set up the Jets at the Saints 11. Yet the defense held and the Jets settled for a 29 yard Chandler Catanzaro field goal as the Jets only trailed 17-10 at the half.
In the third quarter the Jets moved from their own 34 to a 1st and goal at the 8. Yet a run went nowhere and Bryce Petty threw incomplete twice. Catanzaro hit from 26 as the Jets trailed 17-13. The Jets got it back, Petty was intercepted, and the Saints moved to the Jets 13. Yet a short pass was fumbled away at the 7. The Saints got it back and moved from their 45 to the Jets 32. A deep touchdown pass bay Brees was overruled and changed to an incomplete pass. On the first play of the fourth quarter with the Saints facing 3rd and 9 at the Jets 31, a 16 yard completion was again fumbled away by the Saints as the Jets defense kept them in the game. The next time the Saints got it back and faced 3rd and 7 at their own 39. Brees found Thomas for 17 yards and again for 20 more. Brees hit Thomas for the 4 yard touchdown to make it 24-13 Saints midway through the fourth quarter.
The pesky Jets did not go away. With 3 1/2 minutes left they took over at their own 30. On 3rd and 7, Petty hit Hansen for 24 yards and Natson for 19 yards. From the saints 24, a deep incomplete pass drew defensive pass interference and 1st and goal at the 2. Petty Hit McGuire for the touchdown to get the Jets within 24-19 with 1:50 to play. The onside kick was a good one but the Saints were lucky to see it go out of bounds just before the Jets fell on it. From midfield, Mark Ingram put the game away by racing for the clinging touchdown. The 10-4 Saints are still tied atop the NFC South. 31-19 Saints

Carson Wentz is out for the year so it is up to Nick Foles to get it done. The 2-11 Giants fired Ben McAdoo. Steve Spagnuolo is the interim coach. This was supposed to be a blowout.

Elliott hit the 20 yard field goal, but with 4 minutes left the Giants were alive only down by 5 points. The Giants moved from their own 20 to a 1st and goal at the 9 with a full minute to play.

They got it back at their own 27 with 13 seconds left. With 8 seconds left from their own 35, rather than try a short pass and a Hail Mary, the hook and laterals fooled nobody. It was a nail-biter, but the 12-2 Eagles clinched a 1st round bye. 34-29 Eagles
Arizona Cardinals at Washington Redskins — Early on Blaine Gabbert got nailed, fumbled, and the Redskins took over at the Arizona 6.

On 3rd and 10 from the Seattle 14, Goff hit gurney for the touchdown to make it 40-0 Rams. Seattle got one touchdown to avoid the shutout, and the only score in the fourth quarter came when Russell Wilson was called for a penalty in his own end zone for a Rams safety. The Rams are 10-4 and the Seahawks are 8-6. The NFC West is all but wrapped up, while the Seahawks are in a precarious playoff position. 42-7 Rams
New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers — The 10-3 Patriots took on the 11-2 Steelers in a game where a Pittsburgh win would all but lock up home field throughout the playoffs for the Steelers and a Patriots win would give them temporary control of the top seed. With heavy rain coming down, these heavyweights slugged it out in a game the Patriots usually win. The Patriots moved 77 yards quickly and easily. On 3rd and 1 from their own 45, the Patirots got a break when Brady threw incomplete but the Steelers jumped offsides. From midfield, Brady went deep to brandon Cooks for a 43 yard gain. Rex Burkhead got in from the one to make it 7-0 Patriots. The Steelers came back 69 yards. Ben Roethlisberger hit Rogers for an 18 yard touchdown and a 7-7 ballgame. In the second quarter, both teams moved the ball but could not reach the end zone. Chris Boswell hit a 51 yard field goal for the Steelers and Stephen Gostkowski countered from 32 for a 10-10 deadlock. The last drive was the difference in the first half. The Steelers held the ball for 15 plays and 78 yards, sucking over 8 1/2 minutes off the clock. On 3rd and goal at the 4, Big Ben hit Martavius Bryant for the touchdown as the Steelers led 17-10 at the intermission.
The Steelers would have to win without Antonio Brown, who left injured in the first half and did not return. In the third quarter the Patirots moved 75 yards in 12 plays and 6 minutes. On 4th and 1 from the Pittsburgh 16, Bill Belichick decided to go for it. Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for 10 yards. On 3rd and goal at the 4, Brady hit Brandon Cooks for the touchdown. Gostkowski missed the extra point as the Patriots trailed 17-16. With 4:40 left in the third quarter the Patriots faced 3rd and 2 at their own 33. Under heavy pressure, Brady was intercepted by williams, who returned it 13 yards to the New England 22. On 3rd and 1 from the 13, Roethlisberger hit Xavier Grimble for 8 yards to set up 1st and goal at the 5. On 2nd and goal at the 3, Bell got off tackle and banged in for the touchdown. With 90 seconds left in the third quarter the Steelers led 24-16.
The Steelers began the fourth quarter at their own 3 yard line. While they ended up punting, they took 7 1/2 minutes off the clock. The Patriots took over midway through the fourth quarter at their own 28. On 3rd and 1 from their own 37, Dion Lewis gained 12 yards. On 2nd and 3 from the Pittsburgh 44, Brady went deep for a 41 yard gain. However an illegal touch meant an incomplete pass. On 3rd and 3 Brady went deep incomplete, but defensive pass interference meant a 23 yard gain. On 3rd and 10 from the Pittsburgh 21 after a pair of deep incompletions, Brady was sacked for a 7 yard loss. Gostkowski hit the 46 yard field goal as the Patriots trailed 24-19 with 4 minutes left in the game. Did anyone really think the Steelers would win this game?
On 3rd and 4 from their own 25, a short pass by Big Ben came up one yard short. The Patriots took over at their own 23. Brady went deep to Gronkowski for a pair of 26 yard gains and to Gronk again for 17 more. On 1st and goal at the 8, Dion Lewis ran for the touchdown up the middle. Brady hit Gronkowski for the 2 point conversion. With one minute left, the Patriots had a 3 point lead. The ending will be argued about for decades. From the Pittsburgh 21 a short pass to Smith-Schuster saw him escape tackles at the sideline, cut back to the middle of the field, and run out of gas after a 69 yard gain to set up 1st and goal at the 10. With 30 seconds left, Big Ben fired over the middle to James for the touchdown as the home crowd erupted in celebration.
It was not to be. The officials began the Patriots dynasty with the Tuck Rule and again the Patirots were bailed out by the refs with a terrible call. The call was changed to incomplete. While the ball did move, James's hand was clearly under it. The touchdown was taken off the board. With 28 seconds left, the outcome was inevitable. A short pass inbounds gained 3 yards, saw the clock run, and left the Steelers panicking. With 9 seconds left, Big Ben faked a spike, fired over the middle, and saw the ball to Darrius Hayward-Bey ricochet like a pinball into an interception by Harmon. Apparently the Steelers never watched the Super Bowl between New England and Seattle. same play, same awful result. With home field throughout the playoffs on the line, the officials gave the game to the Patriots. Rather than 12-2 Pittsburgh cruising and 10-4 New England possibly even using a first round bye, both teams are 11-3 and New England holds the tie-breaker. 27-24 Patriots
Tennessee Titans at San Francisco 49ers — The Titans came in 8-5 and one game out of the AFC South lead but with question marks. The 49ers were only 3-10 but have won 2 in a row and look much improved under Jimmy Garoppollo. In the firs quarter the 49ers twice drove into Titans territory but did not reach the end zone. Robbie Gould hit field goals of 38 and 48 to make it 6-0 49ers. In the second quarter Ryan Succop hit from 40 to get the Titans on the board. The 49ers then had a mind-numbing 17 play, 85 yard drive that took over 8 1/2 minutes. This time the 49ers finished it as Garoppollo hit Celek for a 5 yard touchdown to make it 13-3 49ers. The 49ers got it back and again drove to a 1st and goal at the 10, but this time after 10 plays came up short. Gould hit his third field goal from 28. The 49ers had a commanding 16-3 lead with 90 seconds left in the half but they let up. From the Tennessee 21, Marcus Mariota hit Davis for 10, Eric Decker for 13, and Rishard Mathews for 27 with 15 more tacked on for roughing the passer. Mariota hit Mathews for 25 more and then threw a 4 yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker as the Titans only trailed 16-10 at halftime.
In the third quarter the Titans moved 62 yards in 14 plays and 6 1/2 minutes. On 3rd and 5 from the San Francisco 13, Mariota threw incomplete. Succop hit from 31 as the Titans were within 16-13. Tennessee got it back at their own 16. On 3rd and 1 from their own 25, Derrick Henry gained 10 yards. On 3rd and 4 from their own 45, a completion to Mathews gained 21 yards. 90 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Titans faced 3rd and goal at the 8. Mariota fired over the middle to Mathews for the touchdown and the 20-16 Titans lead. Fro their own 17, Garoppollo went deep to Celek for a 41 yard gain. Yet on 3rd and 11 from the Titans 22, Garoppollo was sacked for a 10 yard loss. Gould bailed the 49ers out with a 50 yard field goal as the 49ers trailed 20-19 with 8 1/2 minutes left in regulation.
The 49ers got it back at their own 13 with 6 1/2 minutes left. Garoppollo fired over the middle to Bourne, who split the seams for a 54 yard gain. Garoppollo then hit Kittle for 19 more. Penalties killed the 49ers, including one that negated a touchdown. On 4th and 25 from the Titans 30, Gould hit a big 48 yard field goal, his fifth of the game. With just over 3 minutes left the 49ers led 22-20. After a touchback, the Titans faced 4th and 1 at their own 47 with 2 1/2 minutes left. Mariota got 2 yards. With 1:12 to play, Succop came in for a 50 yard try. It was good and the Titans led 23-22. Yet the 49ers still had 1:07 left from their own 25. Garoppollo hit Taylor for 7 and then zipped a pass to Kittle for a 24 yard gain. Garoppollo then fired to Goodwin for 14 more. With 3 seconds left, Gould came in for a 45 yard try to win it. He was good, 6 for 6 on the day. The 49ers won their 3rd straight while the Titans lost their second straight to drop to 8-6. The division title is almost out of reach and their hold on the playoffs at all is tenuous. 25-23 49ers
Dallas Cowboys at Oakland Raiders was the Sunday night game. The 7-6 Cowboys and 6-7 Raiders are both in a desperate situation, but only one team acted like it early on. The Cowboys moved easily after a touchback to 1st and 10 at the Oakland 35. On 3rd and 10 Dak Prescott was intercepted, setting the Raiders up at their own 30. Oakland went 3 and out. Dallas moved from their own 32 to a 3rd and 8 at the Oakland 27. Prescott threw incomplete. Dan Bailey hit the 45 yard field goal to make it 3-0 Cowboys. Despite being given a 1st and 5 and 2nd and 1, Oakland again failed to gain a first down. Carr found a wide open Crabtree on 3rd and 3, and the off the mark but very catchable pass was dropped. Oakland had only 7 yards of total offense in the first quarter. The Cowboys moved from their 35 because the Raiders may be the only team ever called for an illegal block on the kicking team rather than the receiving team. On 2nd and goal at the 4 to start the second quarter, Prescott threw incomplete but defensive pass interference meant 1st and goal at the one. Smith went up the middle for the touchdown. The Cowboys led 10-0. While 44 minutes remained in the game, it appeared over.
Cordarelle Patterson returned the ensuing kickoff 35 yards to the Oakland 37, but holding moved it back to the Oakland 10. 2 more penalties had them facing 1st and 17 at their own 3. On 3rd and 7, Carr scrambled for just enough and the Raiders finally had a first down. On 3rd and 5 from their own 25, Carr hit Crabtree for 12 yards. crabtree fumbled but luckily somehow recovered it himself at the Oakland 39. On 3rd and 8 from the Oakland 41, a completion to Crabtree left 4th and 1. Jack del Rio punted and the Cowboys took over at their own 10. With the Cowboys facing 3rd and 11 at their own 9, Prescott threw incomplete. Yet defensive holding kept the drive going because the Raiders really are that dumb. On 3rd and 12 from the Dallas 12, Prescott found Jason Witten for 13 yards. On 3rd and 9 from the Dallas 24, a sure interception for TJ Carrie was just dropped. However, at least the Raiders had held. Rather than a short field at the Dallas 40, the Raiders took over at their own 31 with 3 minutes left in the half.
On 3rd and 1 from their own 40, Carr snuck for the yard. Runs and short passes moved the Raiders to a 1st and 10 at the Dallas 24 with 27 seconds left as the Raiders took their 2nd timeout. A 13 yard completion to Jared Cook gave the Raiders 1st and 10 at the Dallas 11, but they had to take their final timeout with 14 seconds left. Carr fired over the middle to Jared Cook in the end zone for the touchdown. Yet offensive pass interference took the score away. Another incompletion left 3 seconds. Georgio Tavecchio came in for a very makable 39 yard field goal. In a half where everything went wrong, Tavecchio missed it. The Raiders sucked in all 3 phases of the game, yet were somehow only down 10-0.
The Raiders thought they had a spark of life when Cordarelle Patterson returned the second half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. Naturally, holding on the return had the Raiders starting at their own 10 yard line instead. Carr fired to Jalen Richard for 11 and Marshawn Lynch gained 11 more. On 3rd and 4 from the Oakland 38, a false start made it 3rd and 9. Carr fired to Deandre Washington, who banged between 3 defenders for a 10 yard gain. On 3rd and 6 from the Oakland 47, Carr scrambled and ran for a 32 yard gain. A pitchout to Lynch went for an 18 yard gain to set up 1st and goal at the 3. Carr threw a fade to Crabtree, and he out-jumped the defender to finally get the Raiders on the board. The 90 yard, 11 play, 7 minute drive had the Raiders right back in the game down 10-7.
The Cowboys took over at their own 15. On 3rd and 9 from their 16, Prescott was hit by Bruce Irvin as he threw. A wobbly duck was intercepted by TJ Carrie, who got up and raced 22 yards for a Raiders touchdown. Yet Carrie was ruled down by contact. The Raiders had the ball at the Dallas 22 with a golden opportunity to take the lead. 3 plays netted one total yard as the Raiders squandered another opportunity. Tavecchio came in for another 39 yard try. This was a hideous knuckleball that somehow cleared the cross bar for a 10-10 tie. The Cowboys soon faced 3rd and 11 at their own 24. Prescott went deep incomplete. The Raiders had all the momentum. It soon evaporated.
On 4th and 11 from their own 24, Jason Garrett called a fake punt. Punter Jones ran for a 24 yard gain. On the next play came a flea flicker, but it fell incomplete. Another incompletion could have been 3rd and 10 but as expected, defensive pass interference instead meant 1st and 10 at the Oakland 47. On 1st and 20 from the Oakland 44, a completion to Dez Bryant followed by awful tackles went for 19 yards. Prescott then faked a handoff and took it himself 16 yards to set up 1st and goal at the 8. From the 5, Prescott bought time and scrambled up the middle himself for the touchdown as the third quarter was ending. 75 yards and 11 plays took 5 minutes. The Cowboys led 17-10. Now it was time to see if the Raiders had any heart at all to come back.
Patterson took the kickoff and returned it 44 yards. He had it punched out of his hands but the Raiders were lucky that the fumble rolled out of bounds. Oakland had excellent field position at their own 47. The third quarter ended with the Raiders facing a critical 3rd and 9. The fourth quarter began with Carr getting hit as he threw and somehow floating a pass to Seth Roberts for a 28 yard gain. Jason Garrett challenged the call. There was no way to definitely overturn it, but Raiders fans never breathe easy. The call stood, Dallas lost a timeout, and the Raiders had 1st and 10 at the Dallas 24. On 3rd and 4 from the 18, Carr rolled out and hit Crabtree for 6 yards. On 2nd and 10, Carr threw incomplete but illegal contact on the defense meant 1st and goal at the 8. After an incompletion, Lynch banged up the middle and the pile carried him down to the two. On 3rd and goal Carr fired to the corner to Crabtree for the touchdown. The 10 play, 53 yard, 5 minute drive had the game tied 17-17 with 10 1/2 minutes left in regulation.
Dallas took over after a touchback. An end around lost 4 yards and offensive holding had Dallas facing 2nd and 24 from their own 11. On 3rd and 19, Prescott fired to Cole Beasley for 16 yards. This time there was no fake punt. Holding on the return had the Raiders starting at their own 15 with 8 minutes left in regulation. with the season the line, they had a chance. On 3rd and 4 from their own 21, a pass to Cook was dropped. 3 and out, and the Cowboys got it back at their own 30 with 6 1/2 minutes left. On 3rd and 10, Prescott fired over the middle to Witten about a half yard shot of the sticks. The officials called it a first down and Jack Del Rio challenged the call. Officials reversed the call to 4th and 1. Jason Garrett kept its offense on the field and gambled on 4th and 1 from his own 39. Prescott kept it himself and appeared stopped. The officials then did something bizarre, trying to invent a new way to give Dallas a first down. They tried to fit a folded piece of paper between the nose of the ball and the yard marker. The Raiders celebrated yet it was called a first down anyway.
The rest was predictable. Prescott went deep to Bryant for a 40 yard gain to set up 1st and goal at the 5. On 3rd and goal from the one, 1:53 left as the Raiders took their first timeout. Alfred Morris got stopped and the Raiders called their 2nd timeout with 1:46 left. On 4th and goal at the one, the only sensible decision was to kick the field goal. The 19 yard kick was good, the Cowboys had the lead, but the Raiders still had life. The inspired goal line stand would give the Raiders offense a chance to tie or win the game. Naturally, a hold on the return had the Raiders starting on their own 11. 1:38 remained and the Raiders had one timeout.
Carr fired to Seth Roberts for a 19 yard gain. 3 incompletions meant 4th and 10 from the Oakland 30 with one minute left. Down to the last gasp, Carr went for it all deep to Crabtree, and the ball fell incomplete. Defensive pass interference meant a 55 yard gain and 1st and 10 at the Dallas 15 with 51 seconds left. Carr went to Patterson for 7 yards. An incompletion to the end zone left 3rd and 3 at the 8 with 39 seconds left. Then came the play that defined the entire Oakland season. Carr scrambled and easily had the first down. He would have had 1st and goal at the one. He tried to stretch the ball and instead fumbled the ball past the pylon. Carr thought he had a touchdown. Instead it was a touchback. One yard separated both teams being 7-7 from Dallas being 8-6 and alive and the Raiders dropping to 8-6 and being dead. The Raiders have lost some sickening games, but this may have been the sickest. 20-17 Cowboys
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers was the Monday night game. The 8-5 Falcons came in one game back in the AFC South and trying for a wildcard spot. In the first quarter the Falcons went 62 yards in 5 minutes. On 3rd and goal from the 6, Matt Ryan hit Hardy for the touchdown to make it 7-0 Falcons. The Buccaneers came back 75 yards. Jameis Winston threw a 30 yard touchdown pass to Howard for a 7-7 ballgame. In the second quarter the Falcons moved 77 yards. From the one a run up the middle was fumbled, but the Falcons lucked out when Toilolo fell on it in the end zone to make it 14-7 Falcons. Atlanta got it back and Matt Bryant nailed a 57 yard field goal to make it 17-7 Falcons at halftime. In the third quarter a 55 yard touchdown pass from Winston to Mike Evans was nullified by a penalty. Tampa got it back at their own 47 and Winston went deep again to Evans for a 42 yard touchdown pass. This time it stood and the Buccaneers were within 17-14.
Late in the third quarter a chance to extend the lead saw a 33 yard field goal try by Bryant get blocked. In the fourth quarter the Falcons moved 87 yards in 10 plays and 5 1/2 minutes. On 3rd and 3 from the Atlanta 20, Ryan hit Devontae Freeman for 11 yards. On 3rd and 2 from the Tampa 32, Freeman raced for the touchdown to make it 24-14 Falcons midway through the fourth quarter. After a touchback the Bucs came back. Winston hit Humphries for a 16 yard touchdown pass to get the Buccaneers back within 3 points with 4 minutes left. At the 2 minute warning with the Bucs out of timeouts, the Falcons faced 3rd and 9 at their own 40. Ryan was sacked. With 1:14 left the Falcons punted and the Bucs took over at their own 28 with exactly one minute left. Winston hit Brate for 13, Martino for 11, and Brate for 11 more. Winston spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds left. Tampa Bay was late getting the field goal unit on the field. Patrick Murray's 54 yard field goal was wide right as the Falcons remained one game back in their division. 24-21 Falcons

I've been experiencing some pest issues lately.
First - grasshoppers are having a feast on my wee little apple trees.
|I've never seen the shed skin of a grasshopper before. Have you?
|And from a different angle.
I manage to catch quite a few, then I go up to the chicken coop, call the girls, and give them a real treat!
Then there are the crows. Not after the eggs this time, but they find the nearly ripe passionfruit before I have a chance. Pull them off the vine and dig in.
Also damaging the passionfruit are our first FRUIT FLY! I noticed a mark on one of the fruit in the bowl, and the fact that it was going a bit soft, cut it open and found the delightful wigglers inside.
It is important not to put infested fruit in the compost - as the maggots actually need to burrow into the earth for the next stage of their life-cycle, so you are setting yourself up for disaster.
Instead, I went around the garden picking up all the fallen fruit (some unfortunately have probably already deposited their load of larvae) and putting them in a black plastic bag. This is now hung on the post of the steps, where it can catch the sun (not that we've seen much the last few days). This is called solarising.
|Solarising the Fruit Fly
Also microwaving, cooking, drowning or freezing (which is what I do to avoid weevils, pantry and clothes moths - yes I put the woollens in the freezer) are supposedly also effective. I wonder whether fermenting like I do with the invasive weeds before composting them (and using the diluted 'tea' as fertiliser), would work as well? I guess that would come under drowning.
The chickens haven't been exempt either - or at least their food hasn't. During the day the crows (yes, them again) have a go mainly at the scraps (though they do wait until the chickens have finished), and the spotted turtle doves go into the coop for the seed. They are going through it at a rate of knots!
And last night there was a RAT in the coop when I put the chickens to bed! Too fast for me to tell if it was a native or a feral species. It was pale to mid grey, not black, obviously larger than a mouse, but only about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the rats you see in the pet shops. It ran rather than hopped. But like I said, it was too fast to see the tail properly (i.e. whether it was scaly or furred). Either way, it's still eating the chicken's food, and potentially spreading other, even more annoying pests.
The sooner I move the chicken coop into the (old) vege patch, with a rat proof wire mesh underneath, and a bird proof net above, the better.
An ounce of prevention, as they say.

Tried the Velvet Margarita last night -- it's Hollywood's take on Mexican with a kitschy but ultimately pretty cool clubby feel. Yes - the occasional celebrity - Sandra Oh from Sideways was sitting beside us.
I was quite impressed with the food overall. Not everything was great - but the things I enjoyed were:
1) The free chips with salsa - wonderfully warm from the fryer, with three salsas including a mesmerising warm bean dip. It's worth ordering the fresh guacamole with it - no jarred stuff here.
2) The albondigas soup - a small portion comes free with your meal or you can order a large bowl - the turkey meatballs had a particularly nice flavor.
3) The chile relleno - they use a higher fat mixture of cheeses to stuff it than most places - that means it's ooey gooey good. Warning: unless you ask for it with sour cream on the side, the kitchen has a habit of spurting sour cream on everything, including this dish in particualr...
4) The chicken mole. Decent - the main issue with mole is that most places use a packaged base. I'm pretty sure that they do here, too, but the chef has doctored it up quite nicely - and the chicken itself is wonderfully tender braised stuff that they've already pulled from the bones for you.
5) Margaritas - some controversy on this, but I found the margs here delicious. They aren't bowl-you-over the top strong, but they are redolent with a delicious lime flavor, and even the low-end version uses a good tequila.
Some of my friends weren't as excited about the place - I didn't try everything that they ordered.
Prices are all quite reasonable - $15 for giant main courses including soup or salad, rice & beans , $5-8 for apps.
It's located on Cahuenga between Hollywood and Sunset. Reservations can be hard to get at the last minute.

I am tired of seeing people I don't care about. Their post are of things that just don't interest me, or they are posting controversial things in order to get attention. Being tired of wasting my time shuffling through their post, I have decided to hold a purge. This is where I will delete anyone that is no longer active or people that honestly don't care about me or what I'm doing.
A few months ago, I decided to make my Facebook solely for promoting my blog. Though that has been happening, and I have falling into using it for my communications, I want to slowly pull it back the other direction, making it my promoting tool, which eventually will become my blog page, entirely. With this being said, why would I waste my friends list on people that don't even read these post?
I understand that Facebook is for friendships and is usually used to connect with old friends and distant family. This means that I use it wrong, but at the same time, it can be used to share ones work and to get yourself into new crowds. This is what I'm trying to do. I don't really care about being friends on Facebook, or finding out the latest news about my ex friends. I truly only care about connecting with fans and showing those, who care, that I truly love them. I don't have time for the drama, nor would I get into it, even if I did have the time. Also, the friends that I thought would try to connect with me, again, are those who don't want to talk, or are those who are no longer active.
After weeks of looking through a bunch of garbage, I decided to do something. I like the idea of a purge. One night where anything goes, it all sounds so delightful, besides the fact that I would die in the first hour. I decided to take that idea and bring it to my friends list. Giving myself one day, I am allowed to delete anyone. I did give a few people a break, by having them like a certain post, but everyone else was fair game. Out of 300 friends, only 30 liked the post, meaning 280 of my friends were allowing me to leave, which is fine by me. It has only been 5 hours and I am down to 280 friends.
This is a fun way to blow off steam, also it helps clear up a lot of my news feed. Either way, it ends tomorrow. I plan on cutting a lot more and starting over with new friends. I am enjoying this way too much, you guys should try it.

"Shin splint" is often an overused and generic term that simply means "lower leg pain near your shin". Also referred to as medial tibial stress syndrome, shin splints can certainly take all the fun out of running. Leg pain can be on the outside of the shin bone (imagine flexing your foot to isolate that muscle that is sometimes strained or overworked during hill workouts). This is referred to as anterolateral shin splints. What I have is posteromedial shin splints, related to the muscles in the back (posterior) and inner (medial) parts of the shin. These muscles are responsible for lifting the heel just before the toes push off.
This is the second year I have had this problem, and as I struggle to find some once-and-for-all-relief, I've found that there are many contributing factors. First, tight muscles. It's always important to warm up and stretch before and after taking off on a long run (or really any exercise). This often gets overlooked when we're in a hurry to get to our post-run happy hour. Or even, say, when we use a run to the School for the Deaf track as our warm up. I can think of many times when I don't stretch because I think I feel just fine.
The second thing going on with shin pain relates to the muscle tendons and the periostium, the sheath that surrounds the bone. Many people can have tight muscles and really not experience much pain. I can run longer distances on soft surfaces, stretch, get a good sports massage, and be fine. Add a few pavement pounding runs about town, however, and suddenly there is a significant difference. With the jarring that occurs with feet hitting concrete or crowned asphalt, the periostium can become inflamed and irritated, and may even generate heat. In fact, last year my shin splint got so bad that you could feel the heat on the skin's surface. Ouch!
Again if left untreated and running continues, tension on the inflamed tendon can actually pull it from its attachment to bone, causing internal bleeding (I have had some discoloration in the area), and possibly even a bone fracture. Now this is something I do NOT want to experience.
Every resource, doctor, RMT, PT, etc. will say this about shin pain:
- Running is the #1 cause
- If you want it to heal, you must stop running
- Stretch and build strength in the affected muscles
- Get frequent massage to stretch the deeper muscle tissues and work out any adhesions
- Ice and elevate
Many people assume that running shoes contribute to the cause of shin splints, and it is true that running shoes should have enough support to asbsorb a lot of the shock that comes with running. However, changing shoes can only mask the larger cause of a shin splint (just like taking Ibuprofen, for example) and is not part of the treatment.
The good news in all of this is that swimming and cycling are recommended alternative activities to running during the healing process. And this makes me very happy.

London: First Lady Michelle has revealed that US President Barack Obama serenades her all the time by singing songs from Al Green, Marvin Gaye and other R 'n' B greats.
She also insisted that her husband does have a beautiful voice.
"He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time," the Daily Mail quoted Michelle as telling 'The Tonight Show' host Jay Leno.
The President gained a little attention in January when he showed to the world his inclination towards music during a fundraiser at the Apollo Theatre in New York City, where he sang Al Green's single 'Let's Stay Together'.
But he also croons Marvin Gaye and even 'a little Stevie.' That is Stevie Wonder, for the uninitiated.
"He likes the classics," she asserted.
However, her opinion about Republican front-runner Mitt Romney's choir voice was not that generous.
Romney had surprised supporters in Florida with an off-pitch version of 'America the Beautiful' on Monday.
"It's beautiful," she said after a pregnant pause, with a laugh and raised eyebrows.
"And it is America's song, and it's a song that's meant to be sung by every American," the first lady said in a taped appearance for the NBC show.

This was going to be my first post in 2017 but it didn't quite work out that way. Never mind.
It's 2017 and I decided my first post(back when I drafted it) will be a record of my broad goals – things I want to get done that I know of, right now. Over the course of the year, this will change, of course, but it's a good starting point.
So in 2017 – I will/shall/do/achieve/endeavour to/
- Sew lingerie.
- Sew 2 Burdas (from the magazine) per month.
- Sew 6 Knipmode patterns
- Participate in The Monthly Stitch Challenges. I think every other month will do.
- Make men's jeans/trousers.
- Sew 1 item from each of my sewing books
- Knit and finish 4 items.
- Complete SWAP2017 before the deadline.
- Make 1 Christmas present and a Christmas tree skirt.
- More sewing for OH and kids.
- Improve my lining skills.
Health wise – I love doing yoga and will continue with it but I'd like to add some cardio to that by regularly going to Zumba class. I love dancing so it fits.
Here is a video I made talking/rambling on about some of these sewing goals.

We will be retiring to a small town in New England early next year.I have heard alot about pellet stoves and was wondering if they would save money in the long run. We will most likely buy a small house and my research shows that most of the houses in the town use gas heat. Having owned houses in the past that used oil for heating, gas is alot cheaper.

As usual, all of our LORDS OF SALEM goods are coming from Rob Zombie's Facebook page. I guess we'll take them anyway we can get them.
Today we've got a promo poster for the film's fictional "BIG H" team. Zombie provided the following caption: Here is your first look at the BIG H TEAM on the cover of DIG BOSTON. Herman Jackson (Ken Foree), Heidi LaRoc (Sheri Moon Zombie) & Herman Salvador (Jeff Daniel Phillips). Salem's #1 radio show does it again.
Say, does Jeff Daniel Phillips' "look" remind you of anyone..?
THE LORDS OF SALEM, which still doesn't have a release date, goes like this: Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at the local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the 'Big H Radio Team'. A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, "a gift from the Lords". She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords' record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma. Later, Whitey plays the Lords' record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners. The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon Heidi and her cohorts find that the gig is far from the rock spectacle they're expecting; the original Lords of Salem are returning, and they're out for BLOOD.
LORDS OF SALEM stars Sheri Moon Zombie, Ken Foree, Sid Haig, Bruce Davidson, Christopher Knight, Billy Drago, Richard Lynch, John Five, Lisa Marie, Maria Conchita Alonso, Ernest Thomas, Michael Shamus Wiles, Barbara Crampton, Brandon Cruz, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Michael Berryman, Patricia Quinn, Judy Gleeson and Dee Wallace Stone.

This is a video of him.
don't watch it with small children around!
Upload Video at DropShots.com
I would like to see a video where after your brother is done bathing, he runs around the house and rubs his head on the carpet. That would be funny.
i agree. i wondered for a second if that's what this video would be.
you should ask your brother if nothing sticks to teflon how do they get it to stick to the pan?
"how does teflon stick to the pan you ask ill tell you, its the cosmotrons(the possitive ones) in the metal in the pan(thats aluminum) and the negatice shmosmatrons in the teflon they are opposites and that means they attract, and they bond both chemically and emotionaly, but after a while the shmosmatrons wanna leave the cosmotrons cuz the cosmotrons have been cheating on them with the eggs and bacon (those are negative too) so she tries to leave (the shmosmatrons that is) but she cant because she has her CDs in his truck and she cant just walk away from that its like 40 or 50 CDs so parts of her leave, they are in the middle but the outsides stay so then when the egg comes around it sticks to the parts without any of the shmosmotrons in the middle and eventualy the shmosmotrons give up and totaly leave and t hen in a couple of years they call to see whats up and find the pan with the Cosmotrons living in a dumpster addicted to crack while she is living a good life with some aluminum foil and they have two kids that are in private school, they are 8 and 10, named James and Amanda, James is taking karate lessons and Amanda loves her Ballet
so thats how the teflon sticks to the pan"
P.S. me running around naked and wet ramming my ear into the ground..... No Dice!
I figured that since I put video of him on my blog, he should get to respond to your questions.
and I begged him BEGGED HIM to use spell check, but in his words "no dice".
Your brother should totally blog. :D
He should also come see to my kitchen.
Dear Tom,
I can't even begin to tell you how great that is. thank you for answering my very scientific question with an equally scientific answer. but did the shmosmatrons get to keep her CDs?
The sound didn't come through very well for me, but I just have to say that - for me - there is nothing sexier than a man cleaning!
Teflon can blow mw too. Fucking Teflon.
I have nonstick cupcake tins.
I still use the liners, though.
Cupcakes are good for the soul, too. Does your brother like cupcakes?
Toms Replies (as transcribed by Knitty)
Loz: nope, unfortunately the shmosmatrons sold the truck to buy crack, with all her cd's in it.
Ubie: Cupcakes are better, there's more icing on cupcakes.
Is that REALLY your brother? Or did Mom have an affair? Because he seems a lot different from you. And very ADD. And obsessed with ketchup? And Uncle Tom?
His train of thought was AWESOME!
his train of thought is off the tracks.
The next movie will have to the backstory he created for himself and why he looks like a mexican/native canadian and not like the rest of our family.

France has prohibited supermarkets from throwing away unwanted food, which may result to a wider action on food waste across Europe.
In July 2016, 600 Members of the European Parliament against 48 voted in favour of bringing forward new laws that would end unfair trading practices by supermarkets to avoid overproduction and food waste.
The parliament's environment committee also asked in a report to set up a target of reducing food waste by 50% by 2030 which is still subject to the parliament's approbation.
Simona Bonafe, the report's author says, "While 800 million people in the world go hungry every day, nearly 100m tonnes of Europe's food are wasted each year. This is a paradox of our time that is no longer bearable. At last, we have the opportunity to structure our legislation to prevent food waste in the EU."
According to activists, food waste is responsible for a loss of $940bn per year and it generates 8% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. FAO studies also show that food losses and waste amounts to roughly US$ 680 billion in industrialized countries and US$ 310 billion in developing countries.
European leaders have warmed up to the idea that the EU and the world need to set ambitious and legal binding targets as soon as possible to better tackle hunger and emissions, in extension.
A petition which has almost 1 million signatures now, calls for Europe to follow France in the adoption of a ban to prevent supermarkets from throwing away unsold food and give it instead to food banks and charities.
Also, last week, the first global food loss and waste standard – which can be applied to countries or businesses – was approved at the Global Green Growth Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark involving a committee including the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP), the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation (UN FAO) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
Achim Steiner, UNEP's director states that this new standard to measure food loss and waste will not only help everyone understand just how much food is not making it to our mouths, but will also help set a baseline for appropriate action.
Remember, it begins with YOU!

That's how I discovered this wonderful song titled Wonderful, Wonderful. The song came at the very very end when Karen McClusky passed away and the daughter of Susan Mayer, Julie, gave birth to the daughter of Porter Scavo, one of the twin of Lynette and Tom Scavo.
This same song was used in The X-Files episode Home.
I think it's a very wonderful wonderful song just like its title. Watch how it was used in the conclusion of the Desperate Housewives.
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air,
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful my love.
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful my love
The world is full of wondrous things it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evenings I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful my love!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first over-the-counter home-use HIV test in 2012. Public health departments have started to implement programs to increase their use; however, the potential impact of these tests on the HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) is unknown. Home-use HIV tests may reduce HIV incidence if used by MSM who would otherwise not test or if they increase rates of testing, diagnosis and treatment. However, home-use tests may increase transmission if men replace clinic-based tests with home-use tests because the relatively long window period of available tests can result in false-negative tests during acute infection when HIV-infected persons are most infectious. The aim of this research is to inform public health approaches to promote safe and effective home-use HIV testing strategies for diverse populations of MSM. Using dynamic HIV transmission modeling, we find that if home-use HIV tests replace clinic-based testing, HIV prevalence may increase among Seattle MSM, even if home-use tests result in increased testing. Using data from two different epidemiologic settings in the U.S., Seattle and Atlanta, future work will use stochastic network models to estimate how different strategies of home-use HIV testing at the individual and partnership levels affects HIV incidence.

Aaron Tucker was hoping to land a job after serving nearly two years in prison. But when he spotted an overturned vehicle on his way to the interview, he decided employment would just have to wait.
"Someone needed my help, and that's what I did. I helped them," the 32-year-old father told WABC. "If it happened again, I'm going to continue to do it, because it's the right thing."
Tucker woke up early for the interview last week, and was traveling by bus through Westport when he saw the crash, CBS News reports. He said the bus driver refused to help, and told Tucker "if you get out I'm going to leave."
So, Tucker jumped off the bus and rescued the driver from the smoking car, according to CBS — even wrapping his dress shirt around the wounded man's head to stop bleeding.
His heroic act caused him to miss the interview at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
Much More Than a Hobby: Colorado Woman's Handcrafted Quilts Help Calm People With Alzheimer's
Tucker was seeking a return to the working world after serving a nearly two-year stint for a weapons charge. He had been staying in a halfway house since June, ABC News reports.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to benefit the man and his 21-month-old son. Westport resident Karen Dale, who set up the fundraising page, praised the man and detailed the love Tucker has for his son.
"No matter what happened in the past, he's a good guy and he needs a break," Dale told ABC News. "He loves his boy. When he talks about him, he really genuinely beams through the phone."
As for Tucker, the man said he doesn't mind being called a hero, but holds that he was simply doing what he believed to be the right thing.
"I feel that they're better people than me, taking the time out to help me and my son," he told WABC. "I appreciate that."
Tucker isn't the only man being hailed a hero.
Over the weekend, a Spokane, Washington, man on work release following a 17-year prison sentence for manslaughter reportedly rescued a baby and the child's parents from a car wreck, KHQ reports.

On arrival you can tell the cottage is well looked after. Once we entered it was clean and tidy with even a lovely bottle of wine on the table on arrival. Nice touch.
The cottage has everything you need for every room. All utensils you may need in the kitchen up to what you may need in the bathroom.
You will need a car to get around with. We drove our own so that was easy to do.
The local town Guémené-sur-Scorff has a really lovely restaurant/bar called Aux Sabots Rouge, run by an English couple. The food was the best we had all week.
Pontivy is also a nice local town (30 mins).
Our favourite town was Josselin (45mins). Just beautiful.
The weather was mixed so on a couple of occasions we stayed at the cottage for a large part of the day. Equally on a sunny day we used the Scrabble provided on the patio table then off to the deckchairs in our garden with our glasses of wine.
All in all a lovely, relaxing time. Clean, well presented, decorated cottage. A definite visit if you're thinking of staying in central Brittany.
The cottage had the wow factor when we walked in, looking clean, nicely furnished and the spiral staircase was a novelty. There is plenty to do in the area which is quiet, peaceful with little traffic. Lovely walks (and cycle rides) from the house and along a nearby disused railway line. Good base for exploring Brittany.
A wonderful week at Croquignolet. The cottage based in Seglien is well equipped and set in idyllic countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Brittany and it was great to be able to relax in the cottage at the end of a long day. The village of Guemene-sur-Scorff, a stones throw from Seglien, is stunning and has a selection of shops and restaurants as well as the most delightful Tabac as you enter.
Thank you to Damian and Georgina, we had a super break at your cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to escape for a while.
Croquinolet is the perfect place to stay whilst holidaying in Brittany. The cottage has everything you need and is very well equipped. There's a spacious garden area where you can relax and enjoy the weather and a barbecue for those long summer evenings.
Seglien itself is a typically sleepy French village however the locals are very friendly and welcoming.
The surrounding area is a pleasant surprise with lots of really interesting towns and villages close by.
The area is also well served with restaurants, bars and good supermarkets only minutes away.
We would thoroughly recommend this Gite for a quiet couples holiday.
Stayed for 2 weeks. Everything required was within the cottage which was in excellent condition. Cottage was private and if you are looking to have a peaceful break this is the place. Plenty of shops/supermarkets within 10-15 mins drive with great shopping in the bigger town of Pontivy 20-25 mins away. Wifi available in nearby building however would be better if directly available in cottage - not a major issue as helps with the whole getting away from the grind idea.

I don't know if there is an official list, or not, but this one at Reddit, chronicling the infamous Clinton body count is as good as any. It needs to be updated again, though, because another suspicious death surrounding Clinton Crime Family activities has surfaced.
This time the victim is Klaus Eberwein, a (former) Haitian official critical of the Clinton's and their business dealings, characterizing them as criminals, thieves and liars. He was scheduled to testify before the (American) Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and was expected to drop the hammer on Clinton family corruption regarding the Haitian hurricane relief program.
It seems his testimony was deemed too sensitive to allow it to come to light.
As chronicled by Peter Schweizer in his book, Clinton Cash, the Clinton's have been accused of mis-appropriating tens of millions of dollars in donations raised to assist Haiti in the aftermath of a devastating 2010 hurricane.
