Bloons 5 brings you all your favourite web games where you can pop balloons including the dart throwing monkey games by Ninja Kiwi and a few other fun titles such as Deca Jump by Miniclip and Ballooner.
We would fully recommend you visit Ninja Kiwi for some of the best flash games on the web which go beyond the original collection of bloons games.
In particular we like bloons tower defense 5 which was recently released by their guys. This game features all the very best parts of the previous four td games and also comes with some cool new additions such as special agents, new tracks, further tower upgrades plus much more. Check it out now.
A Look at Bloons 2 - one of the most popular balloon games online
- Huge update to the graphic engine
- Level editor included in this release
- Levels are arranged into regions for a more cohesive theme
- New Skip Level item lets you get past hard levels
- Unlimited dart mode gone
The Bloons series has been a highly popular and lucrative game series for the developers at Ninja Kiwi. The original game saw five player packs and an additional series of games created by the developers before Bloons 2 was finally announced. As many players hoped, there are plenty of new features and a huge graphical update that make Bloons 2 superior to the original games in nearly every way.
Where as previous titles in the Bloons series were released with the levels arranged from 1 through 50 with no possible way to get through them and skip levels if you run into a hard spot, Ninja Kiwi has addressed this by adding Skip Monkeys. Upon starting play, you are awarded Five Skip monkies that you can use to get past any level that you feel is too hard to beat, without getting stuck. Players who are interested in using the Mochi Coins store can then purchase more skip monkies to get through harder parts. As this was the most requested feature for Bloons 2, it's good to see it as an addition.
The other biggest community outcry for the second Bloons game was an update to the graphics engine. The guys at Ninja Kiwi listened to this request too, and Bloons 2 is a modern counterpart to its older brother. In fact, the graphics are polished enough that many fans have asked the developers to revist the old games and replace all of the old graphics with the new graphics from the Bloons 2 series. While this could be a possibility in the future, the fact that the developers are listening to their community is a welcome sight.
Aside from the graphical improvements and the gameplay enhancements, Bloons 2 at its core offers more puzzle popping action that you can get your hands on. This time around there are nearly 100 levels included within this release, all ranging from the fairly simple to the stupidly complex. The arrangement of these levels is such that they are divided into different zones, each with a different theme. This helps add a bit of atmosphere to the game, as those who are familiar with old games such as the Super Mario series will be hit with a wave of nostalgia when playing Bloons 2.
There are several new action balloon types for you to discover as well, which makes Bloons 2 a rightful sequel. For those who have never experienced the Bloons series, starting with the Bloons 2 series is recommended. The learning curve is much more gentle and if you find after you've completed the sequel that you still want more puzzle popping action, you can return to the rougher games and realize just how well the series has been updated for modern times.

Background: Font color:
I started the original version five years ago, and here I am. This is far improved from what it had been, but this isn't a real representation of my current work.
Happy reading, and I'll see you again soon.
To Fall
Lily Evans was a goner. She sat across from James Potter in a compartment, alone, as they waited for their friends to reappear. She nervously avoided his eyes, but she also tried to appear to be merely nostalgic for the years that had past.
"So, uh, Lily," James said, leaning forward. "Can I talk to you? About something, I mean."
"Well," Lily began, but she didn't have to answer. Peter and Sirius chose that moment to wander into the compartment. James looked put out, but Lily felt relieved. She had an idea of what he would say, and she didn't want to answer. Not yet.
Remus and Emily arrived, hand in hand, and sat across from each other, Emily next to Lily and Remus next to James.
The train began to move, and Emily lightly touched Lily's arm.
"I need to talk to you," Emily said, leaning close to Lily's ear.
"All right," Lily replied, nervously. She tucked her hair behind her ear, and folded her hands together.
"We'll be right back," Emily announced and pulled Lily up. "I need someone to go with me to the loo."
"Why do girls travel in packs?" Sirius asked, stretching his arms above his head sleepily.
"Beats me," Lily answered, "but since Clare's not here, that leaves me."
As soon as the compartment door closed, Emily turned on Lily. "I know why you didn't go to Hogsmeade yesterday, I know why you pretended to be tired, and I know why you look so uncomfortable in that compartment," she accused.
Lily gulped, waiting for it. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Say it."
"You like James Potter."
Lily inhaled sharply, afraid to admit it aloud. It was one thing to admit it quietly to herself late at night, but to her friend was another story entirely. She nodded, scrunching her eyes, before opening them to look at Emily.
"You need to tell him," Emily said simply.
"I know," Lily sighed. "I know."
Emily stared at her hard, before nodding. "I know you will. But now, I really do have to go to the loo. Come with me."
Lily rolled her eyes, but dutifully followed along. When they returned to the compartment, Emily refused to let Lily enter. She called for James, peeking her head inside, before entering herself. "Talk it out, you two," Emily suggested helpfully as she closed the door.
"Talk what out?" James asked, looking to Lily for the answer.
Lily, however, avoided his eyes. She stared intently at her shoes, convinced if she didn't meet his eyes, the problem would vanish.
"Lily?" He reached out and gently grasped her chin, pushing it back up. "What's going on?"
Lily closed her eyes again, and let the words escape. "I like you, James."
There was silence in the corridor as Lily stood in front of him, her eyes opening slowly. He grinned, hardly able to help it.
"Will you be my date for the party?" he asked quietly. Lily gazed into his hazel eyes and her whispered, fervent "Yes" fell from her lips only moments before they met with his.
To be Continued in The Christmas Celebration, coming soon

Agropastoral landuse
remains the most significant way in which humans impact natural landscapes,
and the recursive social effects of these impacts are important global
issues. However, landscape evolution takes place over the course of
decades, centuries, and even millennia. Even the loss of a landscape's
ability to support a people and their subsistence economy is often the
result of longer term changes that are most apparent at the resolution
of the prehistoric record. Only by studying this long-term record can
we truly begin to appreciate the real consequences of past and present
landuse decisions on earth's landscapes and society, and use this understanding
to make more informed decisions today.
he longest and best-studied
record of the ways in which human activities have transformed the
world is found in the Mediterranean Basin, encompassing both the
earliest known agricultural landuse and the earliest civilizations
to become dependent on these human-managed socioecosystems. Decades
of intensive study by archaeologists, geoscientists, and ecologists,
has amassed rich and diverse data about human-environmental interaction
in this region. This information is integrated with recent advances
in geospatial modeling and agent simulation to create a natural laboratory
for investigating the long-term social and ecological consequences
of alternate landuse practices. In this project, the modeling laboratory
is used to study: 1) the effects of growth in agropastoral systems
on biodiversity; 2) the changing impacts of landuse
intensification and diversification on landscapes, their resilience, and vulnerability
to degradation;and 3) the long-term sustainability of human maintained
socioecosystems in varying environmental and social contexts. The
study focuses on two ecologically diverse regions at opposite ends
of the Mediterranean Basin, eastern Spain and the southern Levant
in Jordan, that encompass much of the social and natural variability
of the entire region.
This work will generate significant new knowledge about long-term consequences
of alternative landuse practices that can help communities make more
responsible and effective decisions about landuse today. It will also
generate integrated archaeological and paleoenvironmental datasets,
and dynamic landuse-landscape modeling algorithms that will be disseminated
via the internet, conferences, and publications for use by researchers
addressing other socioecological questions. The research is tightly
integrated with an active educational program for undergraduate and
graduate students especially geared towards hands on training in the
research process, and collaborative transdisciplinary work. This includes
a K-12 outreach partnership with the Arizona Geographic Alliance, and
collaboration with educators to co-develop and disseminate curricula
that enables science learning within the context of core requirements
of the No Child Left Behind legislation.

The Pickard Family In Australia
|James Brighton Jackson, a painter and decorator from London, was the first of our family to emigrate to Australia (in 1852). Seemingly attracted to the then Colony of Victoria by the great gold rush of the mid-nineteenth century, James took his family from the comfort and safety of England to live in Castlemaine, then very much a town of tents and shantys, where he plied his trade for many years.
In 1860, Jens Christian Hansen, a nineteen year old emigrant from Denmark, arrived to "make his fortune" in the Castlemaine gold fields. Three years later Jens and James' daughter Alice were married. Much of their lives were spent travelling from mining town to mining town in the Castlemaine District as Jens worked his gold claims until, finally, an old man, he and Alice retired in their little cottage in Castlemaine.
On the other side of the continent, fifteen year old Sarah Evans arrived in Western Australia on the Palestine, followed two days later by Alfred Gray, Religious Instructor and teacher on the convict ship The Pyrenees (1853).
Sarah was, for a time, Alfred's housekeeper, however in 1854 they married and, after moving to S.A., they spent the rest of their lives in that State where Alfred worked as a teacher.
David and Mary Rees left Wales sometime in the 1870's, arriving in Brisbane where they had two daughters, one of whom died as a babe and the other, Alice, was to eventually arrive in that melting pot of our family, Castlemaine. We don't know what happened to David and Mary, only that Alice arrived in Castlemaine with her Aunt Jane (McLean), her guardian, from New Zealand
The Pickards didn't make it to Australia until 1912,which was when John and Elizabeth left their farm in the Yorkshire Dales and set sail for Melbourne on the S.S. Irishman. The motivation for John and Elizabeth was, as is so often the case with emigrants, simply the hope that they would find a better life for their children somewhere other than in their home country.

I think I've posted a picture of this before, but I don't care. I made it again recently and it is SO good. Plus the picture came out well. This is Susan V's recipe from the Fatfree Vegan Blog; the recipe is here.
The only thing I did differently was to use a flax "egg" in place of ener-g. It didn't cause any problems.

National Briefing | New England: Massachusetts: Arrest On Charge Of Plot To Bomb School
By Katie Zezima (NYT)
Published: October 19, 2004
The son of the head of the Boston Police Department's second largest union was arrested in connection with a plot to attack Marshfield High School with explosives and kill students and teachers. The youth, Joseph T. Nee, 18, a senior at the school, was charged with conspiracy to commit mass murder and anarchy. The police in Marshfield, about 30 miles south of Boston, said Mr. Nee was one of ''two principals'' in the plot, along with a 16-year-old who was arrested Sept. 17. After that arrest, officers found hand-drawn maps of the high school, as well as a list of guns, ammunition, bombs, and students and teachers who were singled out. Mr. Nee's father, Thomas Nee, is head of the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association. Katie Zezima (NYT)

Book Blog Discussion

This Dystopian Bingo really has me excited too! I just read one set in space!
Another really fun challenge that combines reading and monopoly! Since this one is so long it gets its very own post and updates. Now to remember to do it!

To keep me on budget, I'm creating a tracking sheet. I just bought two books for my new library (of course) so I'm counting them in my Feb. Jan the hubby and I were too busy getting ready to move to order any books, thankfully!
I do have an account with Audible and Owlcrate so I know that my hubby and I will be spending at least $50 a month on books. I'm okay with spending another $50 as long as we're reading the already purchased books as well as the ones on KU (which rarely happens).

Gladly kicked off its second annual #MarchGladness tournament several weeks ago, in which we pitted groups on Tab for a Cause and our Goodblock adblocker against each other. For four weeks, college groups and online communities knocked each other out to see who could raise the most money for charity, which was highlighted in the Huffington Post.
March Gladness
Princeton University Scavenger Hunt #MarchGladness2016
Congrats again Princeton Tabbers on winning this year's #MarchGladness tournament! Based on the responses we received, we'll be hosting the scavenger hunt on May 6 at 6:30pm EDT!
In preparation, here's the low-down on the scavenger hunt:
#MarchGladness 2016 is here!
#MarchGladness 2016 is here! Last year's tournament was really amazing, and this one's going to be even bigger. This year there will be two separate brackets, one for college groups and one for online communities. Together we can raise tens of thousands for charity all in the name of friendly competition!
What's March Gladness?
March Gladness is our charitable homage to March Madness, the famous NCAA basketball tournament where 64 teams compete in a round-by-round bracket to decide the NCAA's yearly champion. Our version pits the biggest groups on Tab for a Cause against one another in a competition to see who can earn the most Hearts for charity (and win some great prizes along the way!).
How can my group get into the tournament?
The selection process will last from now until March 13. There are two separate 64-team brackets. Here's how your group can participate:
- The 64 school groups on Tab for a Cause with the most active members by March 13 at 11:59pm PDT will get spots in the college tournament.
- The 64 groups for online communities on Tab for a Cause with the most active members by March 13 at 11:59pm PDT will get spots in the online communities tournament.
Farewell 2015: A Year in Review
Looking Back: A Year in Review
With 2015 in the rear view, we'd like to thank the Gladly community for continuing to do amazing things every year by presenting you our 2015 In Review Infographic!

NFL football is a violent game, and traumatic injuries are unfortunate but unavoidable. But are bigger players more likely to be hurt than their smaller peers?
18 Dec 2003
by Al Bogdan and Ian Dembsky
Welcome to Scramble for the Ball, where we discuss all things football. We'll have commentary on the latest NFL stories, as well as our Best Bets of the week and updates to our Survivor League (check the Scramble archives for full details). Al's a long-time Giants fan originally from Long Island, and Ian is a long-time Tampa Bay fan originally from Jersey, and we're both NFL and fantasy sports addicts. Look for Scramble updated every Thursday afternoon during the NFL season, and feel free to email us with any thoughts at scramble @ footballoutsiders.com.
Al: I hate weeks like this, where "non-football" news overshadows the actual games on the field. We have Tampa's GM leaving his job to go to Atlanta, Tampa's upcoming opponent. There's Matt Millen's stupid comments and Joe Horn calling his mom after his second of four TDs against the Giants. Unfortunately, all of this nonsense is taking the attention away from some pretty good games with playoff implications that went down in Week 15. The Dolphins likely cost themselves a playoff spot after losing to the Eagles while Denver and Tennessee both eked out victories at home. Seattle continues to do its best to avoid the playoffs losing yet again on the road to a Rams team trying its damnedest to get home field advantage in the NFC. Carolina finally clinched the NFC South title against the Cardinals, who have been frisky at home this year. And, of course, there's Cincinnati's huge home victory over the 49ers to keep the Bengals in the hunt for the AFC North title. If I made a list in the pre-season of phrases that I would be least likely to write in Week 16, "the Bengals in the hunt for the AFC North title" would be close to the top of that list. Where do we start?
Ian: We start in Miami, where the biggest problem the Dolphins has become abundantly clear. It's not the running game that's been mediocre at times, it's not lackluster play of the defense, and it's not the cold weather in December; it's all because Jay Fiedler sucks. Clearly he's got a good mind for football, because he often reads the defense well and knows where the best place to pass the football is. And I'll give him credit for making a few key plays with his feet now and then. But he missed so many open receivers last night, it was pathetic. Even when he does connect with his receivers, it often takes an acrobatic catch to hang onto the ball, and there are certainly no yards after the catch. There's a reason Miami seems to load up on receivers whose best attribute is their hands; without them Fiedler's 21-40 night may have been a 5-40 night. When's the last time you saw Fielder hit a receiver in stride?
Al: Well, he is better than Brian Griese. The Dolphins aren't a team designed to have their QB carry them. There's no reason Jay Fiedler should have thrown 40 passes on Monday night. The Eagles are awful against the run. The Philly defensive line is especially poor up the middle. Why didn't Ricky Williams have 30 carries on Monday night? The VOA rankings may think he's a bit overrated, but if there's one thing Ricky can do well its pound the ball up the middle. The Dolphins didn't lose because Jay Fiedler can't lead his WRs. They lost because the Miami coaches couldn't realize that before the game and wouldn't let Williams carry them against a poor rush defense.
With Miami's loss, you can pretty much put a fork in them. NFL.com has finally put up a playoff standings page, so we don't have to figure out a team's "strength of victory" on our own. Denver has the conference record tiebreaker over Miami, so the only shot the Dolphins have at making the playoffs is to win out and hope Denver loses its next two. It's not impossible that Denver will lose both at Indy and at Green Bay. I think it's a lot less likely, though, that Miami wins this week on the road in Buffalo.
How about them Bills anyway? We're always the first people to jump all over Drew Bledsoe, but Buffalo has been playing pretty well recently. They've been in every game since Week 10. Their defense has been playing very well, allowing only 13.3 points per game over their last six. If they just hadn't forgotten they were playing against Billy Volek in the 4th quarter instead of Steve McNair, we'd be talking about what would need to happen for Buffalo to win the wild card.
Ian: C'mon, let's not start lauding the Bills for losing a bunch of close games. On NFL Primetime they were talking about how bad an idea it was to roll out Bledsoe on the potential game-tying two-point conversion, and they couldn't be more right. Was Bledsoe gonna run the ball in the end zone? No! So why roll him out? As they pointed out, this only serves to cut the field in half. A terrible call, but not something terribly unexpected from the Bills this year.
One thing I can't figure out from this weekend is how the Vikings lost 13-10. Onterrio Smith rushed 27 times for 148 yards, and Randy Moss had nine catches for 93 yards. With only one interception and no fumbles, how did the Vikings come away with only 10 points? They didn't even miss any field goals. As good as the Patriots and Eagles have been lately, the Vikings have been that bad. From 6-0 to 8-6? Missing the playoffs would be an awfully disappointing finish to a promising start for a season.
Al: What a bizarre game. The Vikings had the ball for over 20 minutes in the first half and only ended up with three points. It looks like the Vikings made a bad decision going for it on 4th-and-5 in the first quarter from the Chicago 28. Maybe the weather conditions were so bad that a 45-yard field goal was impossible, but the play calling on those four downs was incredible poor. On the first three plays of the drive, Smith ran three times for 31 yards. Smith single handedly brought the Vikings into Chicago territory. What do the Vikings do? Hand off to Randy Moss for 8 yards, sack for -2 yards, hand off to Moe Williams for -1 yards, sack for -5 yards. You need two yards for a first down and Onterrio Smith was running all over the Bears. Why don't you give him the ball?
The Vikings ended the half with a 9 minute, 43 second long drive that ended with a field goal from the Chicago 3- yard line. This was the time to go for it on 4th down. Minnesota played scared and didn't want to go into halftime without any points after possessing the ball for over twenty minutes. If they kicked the FG during their first possession, they wouldn't have been in that predicament to begin with. Even without any points, you have to go for the TD in that situation. At that point, Smith had 21 rushes for 124 yards. Give him a shot to get in the end zone! Even if he doesn't make it, the Bears get the ball on their own 2-yard line with 1:10 left. They can't take a knee and give up a safety, so Chicago will have to run a play or two. Maybe the Vikings get lucky and force a turnover or a safety. If Minnesota can stuff Chicago there, they'd force Chicago to punt with about 15 seconds left in the half, since the Vikings still had two timeouts remaining. Minnesota still had chances to win in the second half, but penalties and a patented Culpepper INT to end the game ultimately led to their demise. I still think the Vikings make the playoffs, though, because it doesn't look like Seattle wants any part of a game in January.
Ian: Just because Seattle wants no part of the playoffs doesn't mean Minnesota's guaranteed a free ride. The way the Vikings are playing, what's stopping the Saints or Tampa from passing them for the last wildcard spot? New Orleans finishes @Jacksonville, then at home vs. Dallas. Tampa has Atlanta at home, then a tough road game @Tennessee. But one of those two teams will probably win both of their remaining games, leaving the current playoff leaders very little room for error. Of course, since we're talking about the Vikings as a wildcard contender, that means the Packers would be in line to win the division. The way they're playing lately, it wouldn't be at all surprising. Favre finally pulled it together enough to dominate another team through the air, even if it was the lowly Chargers. Quick, name a Chargers defensive back! The funny thing is, only Rodney Harrison comes to mind, but he doesn't even play there anymore.
Al: They do have Quentin Jammer, but I only remember him because of his name, not because of how he's played. Let's not be too hard on San Diego's pass coverage. There are five teams worse than the Chargers art stopping the pass.
As I'm sure our reader and resident NFC Central tiebreaker expert AMR knows, Green Bay would win the division if the Packers and Vikings win out. They have a tough road ahead of them, though. The Packers have been erratic on the road and have to go into Oakland this week. Who knows how the Raiders will play on Sunday? Then Denver goes into Lambeau with both teams fighting for a playoff spot. That should be a hell of a game. If only Minnesota wasn't playing the Chiefs this week, I might just pick them to win the division.
You're right, though, I shouldn't overlook Tampa for the final wild card spot. The Bucs are 3-1 in the post-Keyshawn era. The Falcons looked awful last week against the Colts. I don't see them walking into Tampa and getting a win. Tampa did a great job last year shutting down Michael Vick. The Bucs might even get lucky and face Tennessee's 3rd string QB in Week 17. Billy Volek is done for the year with a lacerated spleen. If the Titans win this week against Houston, as they should, they'd lock up a playoff spot. If I'm Jeff Fisher, I rest Steve McNair that last game of the season so he can get healthy for the first round of the playoffs. The Bucs need help, but it wasn't that long ago we wrote them out of the playoff picture completely. They've done a good job crawling back into the race.
Ian: I refuse to discuss Tampa's chances of making the playoffs any further. Let's just say that there's a bigger chance of me making it to the World Poker Tour than there is of the Bucs playing in January.
We've got a letter in the Scramble mailbox, and it comes from Josh in Pennsylvania:
"In last night's game, the Eagles challenged a play, won the challenge, and were awarded a touchdown. The question was whether or not the ball crossed the plane of the goal line while the offensive player was in the air, and before he touched out of bounds. It did, and it was a touchdown. Madden was explaining and drawing that the goal line extends out-of-bounds, and that the ball need only cross the imaginary extension of the goal line, EVEN OUT OF BOUNDS, before the player, who may also be out of bounds, touches the ground. In other words, he argued that a player may leap in the air, at an angle, starting in bounds, and may go out of bounds, still in the air, cross the extension of the goal line, out of bounds, and then land out of bounds, and be awarded a touchdown.
"I always thought the ball had to cross the plane of the goal line IN BOUNDS, and that is why players always do that funky reach thing. Even the referee disagreed, when he made his audible ruling, stating that it was a touchdown because the ball crossed the line in-bounds. Madden pointed out that the ref was wrong, and that the ball *could* have crossed out of bounds, but that it didn't matter, because either way it is a touchdown. Oh football experts, who was right?"
Ian: This is a great question, because as I was watching the Monday Night game I was thinking the same thing to myself. I wouldn't say I'm certain on this, but my instinct (which has proven right before) tells me that Madden, or rather whoever was telling Madden what to say, was incorrect. There have been plenty of times in all the football I've seen that a player is nearing the end zone and the sideline at the same time, and as he dives for the goal line he tries to reach out the ball so it crosses the plane in-bounds. They must be doing that for a reason, and I'm pretty sure that reason is that the ball needs to pass within the field of play, although the body of the player doesn't have to.
Al: Even if I don't get the official NFL rulebook for Christmas, I'm going to shell out the money myself just so I can answer questions like this. Of course, NFL.com's abridged rules have nothing on this. My understanding is the same as yours -- the ball needs to cross the goal line in bounds. Otherwise, why would players dive for the pylon when they're going out of bounds? Hopefully one of our readers has the actual rulebook and can answer this one for us in the comments.
Ian: Well, it looks like Jim Fassell is out as head coach after the year, as if we didn't know that already. Do you think the fault lies with him or with the players? Certainly injuries have hurt the Giants, as well as the untimely turnovers and poor special teams play. But I do think it's time for Jim to go. Once you've pulled that "chips in the center of the table" thing, you can never really top that from a team motivation point of view, and I don't think the players would be likely to respond to anything he has to say anymore. And, of course, he coaches in New York, which means that he had a leash shorter than a typical Eddie George rushing attempt.
Al: Of course everything isn't Fassel's fault, but he hasn't helped anything either. NY hasn't scored more than 1 TD in any of their last six games. Even with NY's injuries and poor roster, you'd figure a coach should be able to get his team to put 14 points on the board at least once in six games. I'm sure he'll resurface somewhere. If he wants to coach next year, he might be a good fit back in Arizona, where he was a successful offensive coordinator before taking over the Giants.
Al: It's pretty tough to give this award to anyone but Tim Hasselbeck this week. 6/26 for 56 yards, 0 TDs and 4 INTs. Put those numbers together and you get a 0.0 QB rating. I can't remember ever seeing that before. On Ryan Leaf's worst day, I don't think he even managed a 0.0. Hasselbeck had a 5th INT saved by a Dallas penalty. If either of us was QB, we couldn't put up a lower rating than that.
Ian: Tim Hasselbeck definitely deserved the award this week. Not only did he have a 0.0 quarterback rating, he actually managed to score a -6 in the Loser League! I'm sure Jason will cover that in the Loser League update. Anytime you can put up those kinds of loser numbers, it's hard to deny you the Keep Choppin' Wood award.
I want to give out a couple of honorable mentions this week. One goes to Michael Lehan, who was "covering" Denver wideout Ashley Lelie with under a minute to go in the game. Denver had no timeouts, and needed to move downfield from their own 37-yard line to kick a game-tying field goal. Lehan let Lelie get behind him for a big gain, which might be the worst example of situational coverage I've ever seen.
The other honorable mention goes to Jaguars kicker Seth Marler. Not so much for just what happened this past Sunday, but I can't recall the last time a kicker has missed a field goal in five straight weeks. I can't possibly let a horrible streak like that go unmentioned in this column.
Al: Once again I have to give much love to Anthony Brancato and THE SYSTEM! I went 3 for 3 last week and narrowed your lead to 47-44 (3 pts Best Bet, 2 pts Very Good, 1 pt Hunch). I felt kind of bad catching up to you using such an infallible betting technique, so for my picks this week I didn't take THE SYSTEM! into account. What do you know? I ended up taking two cold weather home teams anyway.
Best Bet: Buffalo -1 over Miami: I don't need any system to tell me Miami's losing this game. The Dolphins are 1-6 against the spread over both their last seven overall and on the road this year. Buffalo's beaten the spread over their last three. Plus it's December and the Dolphins don't want to lose their January tee times.
Very Good Bet: Pittsburgh -6 over San Diego: Arguably the least exciting game of the week. The Chargers are slightly more awful than the Steelers. San Diego's one strength, their running game, should be neutralized by the Pittsburgh's #2 rushing defense according to DVOA. I feel sorry for the folks in Pittsburgh and San Diego who will have to watch this one.
Just a Hunch: Carolina -10 over Detroit: The Lions haven't won a road game since 2000. They've only covered once on the road this year. The Panthers are on the decline, but they should be able to stomp all over the Lions.
Ian: Man, it's been a rough second half for me and my picks. At least I've managed to get most of my Best Bets right; if we were scoring purely on number of games correct I'd probably be out of the lead right now. Damn you for taking the Steelers after I said last week to pick against the Chargers the rest of the season. At least you left me to pick:
Best Bet: New Orleans +1 over Jacksonville: Am I missing something here? How in the world is Jacksonville a favorite over the Saints? New Orleans has beaten all the teams they were supposed to beat this season. Here's all the teams they've lost to: @Seattle, @Tennessee, vs. Indianapolis, Carolina twice, @Philadelphia and vs. Tampa Bay. Only the loss to Tampa was really unexpected, and that's just because of the Saints tendency to beat up on the Bucs the past few seasons. There's no reason the Saints can't manhandle Jacksonville, even if it is a road game.
Pretty Good Bet: Chicago -4.5 over Washington: Tim Hasselbeck playing in Chicago? Giddy-up!
Just a Hunch: Arizona +13.5 over Seattle: This just feels like one of those games that's "obviously� gonna be a blowout for the 'Hawks. They're dominant at home, the Cardinals suck on the road, and Seattle needs this game for playoff contention. Games like this are ones that everyone adds to their teaser bets with Seattle -7.5, and everyone ends up losing.
Al: Yup, I'm still the champ.
Jason: Tim Hasselbeck gave an early holiday gift to Jay, completing a whopping 10 passes on Sunday. Unfortunately for Tim, four of those completions were to the guys on the wrong team, resulting in a -6 loser score, and lifting Jay to a third-straight first-place finish. I made a small gain on Ian's overall lead, beating him in a tiebreaker (Thanks for the passing TD, Freddie Mitchell!), while Jay's recent surge has him just behind me, in third place.
What's this world coming to? Usual Loser staples Curtis Martin and Troy Hambrick went off last week, racking up a combined 417 yards of offense last week. At least we know this isn't totally bizarro world, as neither of them managed to score. And we haven't lost our faith in these guys to suck. They've both been drafted in Week 16.

Kim Kardashian feared she would be walking down the aisle on her own on her big wedding day following the death of her father, until she realized her stepdad would be accompanying her.
The reality star, whose father Robert Kardashian passed away in 2003, admits she was overcome with nerves at the prospect of making the solo walk when she marries basketball star Kris Humphries on Sunday.
But the absent-minded socialite hadn't counted on stepfather Bruce Jenner's help.
According to UsMagazine.com, she says, "I was so nervous to walk down the aisle by myself. For some reason I wasn't thinking, like, 'Oh, Bruce will be there right with me', so I was thinking, 'I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna faint, oh my God, my train!'"

Congratulations go out to Dos Pueblos High School's six-member Econ Challenge team and teacher Roland Lewin. On Wednesday, the team won the state championship, which means they now move on to the national semifinals.
Team members are Adam Dai, Nick Katzer, Andrew Sumner, Andrew Yang, Brian Su and Dustin Oakes.
At the state level, more than 140 teams entered this year's Econ Challenge. The top five teams in Southern California were invited to the Southern California finals. The competition was happening simultaneously in Northern California.
On Wednesday, Dos Pueblos dominated the competition in the Advanced Placement division.
"They opened a commanding lead in the first three rounds demonstrating mastery of microeconomics, macroeconomics and international trade/current events," Lewin said. "In the quiz bowl against the other four teams, DP continued to dominate and increase their lead."
When the team received their first-place finish, they were informed that they were also declared the state champions. They had also outscored the Northern California winner by a significant amount.
This is Dos Pueblos High School's 11th state championship in the past 15 years.
Annually, the State Council on Economic Education, with support from the National Council on Economic Education, hosts the Economic Challenge Program. Click here for more details on the competition and to see examples of sample tests.

LONDON — The 49ers have been aggressive in signing their stars to contract extensions in recent years and general manager Trent Baalke said today the front office has been in contact with the agents of several players.
Last year, the 49ers signed inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman to a five-year extension in late November. Baalke said it was possible another extension could be completed during the regular season.
"I wouldn't rule it out," Baalke said. "… We're talking to several guys. Whether that gets done or not remains to be seen."
It wouldn't be a surprise if the 49ers were hoping to extend All-Pro left guard Mike Iuapti, whose contract expires after the 2014 season and is a key part of their power-run-based offense.
Another possible target is cornerback Tarell Brown, who unwittingly forfeited a $2 million workout bonus this year and is the final year of his contract. Brown has since fired his agent and hired Joel Segal.
Baalke said the 49ers wanted Brown to recoup his lost money, but didn't offer specifics.
"We're going to our best to make it right," Baalke said. "… We're going to do our best to make sure T. Brown feels he's being treated fairly by the 49ers' organization."
For his part, Brown said he was only concerned with Sunday's game against the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
"I'm focused on football," he said. "The biggest thing right now is to focus on this game and us playing against Jacksonville. The rest of that will take care of itself. I leave that to (the front office) and my agent. And they'll do the best they can to make it work."

Chris Brown Denies Cheating on Karrueche With Rihanna
If you follow ex boos Chris Brown and Rihanna on twitter (who follow each other), then their subliminal tweet sessions can be one big mind f**k, especially for those Chrianna fans who are hoping they will one day get back together. It all started back in December when Chris Brown randomly tweeted 'Love u more than u know' which could have been directed to his fans, however, when Rihanna followed up a minute later with, 'I'll always love u #1Love", it raised more than a few eyebrows.
Now with The Grammys approaching, and both Rihanna and Chris scheduled to be in the building at the same time (exactly 3 years after their infamous domestic violence incident), there's more chatter than ever that the two have been secretly hooking up. According to Life & Style (a tabloid mind you), Ri has been texting Chris non-stop and stopping by the studio often. Just a few weeks ago, a blind item reveal by Crazy Days Crazy Nightsclaimed that Rihanna and her ex Matt Kemp broke up after he found out that she was still dipping out with Chris and US Weekly is claiming that the two still visit each other frequently:
"She comes to see him anytime she's in L.A. Rihanna loves to live dangerously, and talking to and hooking up with Chris is all part of that."
However, when the publication reached out to a rep for Chris, they shot down all rumors of a possible hook up and revealed that Chris and Ri are just friends:
"He and Rihanna are just friends. He is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating."
Meanwhile, Rihanna continues to subliminally tweet cryptic random thoughts and song lyrics, that would make the average fan think that they are directed at Chris. A day after photos of Chris and Karrueche spending New Years in Vegas surfaced, Rihanna tweeted:
"How can you lie to her, while u lay with me???…..If you don't have an answer, you don't have to answer."
And after photos of Chris Brown's new tattoo of Karrueche (or an anime character that was a reenactment of a photo taken by Karrueche) surfaced last week, a day later Chris tweeted some lyrics:
I want you to love me like you've never loved nobody else, I want u to touch me like when ur touching urself!!!
If the lights in the sky came crashing down, I still could find your love even in a crowd…but will you remember me?
And per usual, shortly afterward, Rihanna had some subliminal tweets of her own in the form of Biggie lyrics:
Cuz of you I'm on some real f*ck a N*gga sh*t!
You wanna be my main squeeze N*gga don't ya?
So what N*gga, I'm not tryna hear that sh*t
These reports could all be fabricated and the tweets could all be a mere coincidence but Ri has definitely found a nice way of pissing off the new girl…even if her tweets have nothing to do with her.

I'm sure this is a really dumb idea, but I can't see the folly behind it atm. Why not have everyone /follow one person for the Molten Seeds? That way, when we are grouped up, and leave, only one person is slightly ahead of the rest of the group.

Quite interesting actually^^.. I'm gonna bring this up this wednesday and see if we could try it for the lolz.
Tier 11 - 25man -13/13hc (world 220)
Tier 12 - 10/25man - 7/7hc (world 144)
Tier 13 - 10/25man - 8/8hc (world 91)
Tier 14 - 10man - 6/6hc - 4/6 hc - Quit raiding
This may sound a little harsh...but if your raid has to do that to get past the seeds then you really shouldn't be working on heroic rag. That little bit of coordination is minimal compared say phase 4.

However...I will say though it is an interesting idea..the problem you may run into is the seed from the "leader" will hit the remaining 9 players behind him most likely when it comes down...thats a lot of unnecessary damage.
You can't maxmise damage on the boss while on follow.
Follow also has some lag, couple that with all the information going to and from your pc from the seeds 24 other people could end up dead. Much easier just to use the BossMod timers. For example I run at 1second for the first seed, 1.5 seconds second seeds and 1 second third seeds. Everyone in the raid should learn to go at the right time according to their timers and not a countdown.
And really, the coordination needed for P4 is very high so if your raid is having trouble moving together on a countdown from your RL then you aren't going to be able to do P4.
doens't work at all. you'll die everytime by the molten seeds
tried it cuz i was bored just watch your timers an everything will be fine!
seeds land one after annother so if you did this would would leave a line of seeds behind your follow train all the way to your stack up spot.
or due to lad each new seed would land on the 9 people in the stack so instead of each seed hiting each individual once each seed hits 9 people once.
no. no. no. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If someone needs to automate their movement for fight mechanics, they shouldn't be raiding, you should ALWAYS have control of your character.
Making sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?
As far as I can remember I saw Stars doing it
EDIT: Can't post links yet, but the video is up on youtube, someone relink it please: watch?v=lauC3WlGqK4

If you follow one person it will look like this 9 people ---- 1 person
And everyone takes damage from the seed that lands on the one everyone is following. It doenst kill but still does damage
yes. yes. yes. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
So one of the best guilds in the world should just stop raiding? I thought everyone knew about Stars doing the follow thing, it was one of the first kill videos released. And no, nobody takes damage from the seed of the person they're following.
The wildest priest in the world.

Style With Tile
Beautiful blue-and-white Mexican tiles and arched details give this room a distinctly Southwestern flair. A built-in tiled soaking tub, placed in an alcove, looks out over the back yard. To keep the tile the focal point of the room, the other aspects of the design are quite simple. The long, colorful rug is a nice counterpoint to the Mexican tile.

Judge to Speedo man: No more thongs
Judge to Speedo man: No more thongs
The man known around Tallahassee for regularly riding his bicycle in a thong had his day in court on Monday afternoon.
Also known as "Speedo man," Richard E. Irby, 55, sat in court in black jeans, shirt and trench coat as his attorney told Leon County Judge Judith Hawkins that Irby had consented to a deferred prosecution agreement. Conditions of the agreement include not wearing a thong and remaining free of legal problems for three months.
The bald, 6-foot-3, 220 pound Irby was arrested in August for exposing himself in three different instances, according to a Tallahassee Police Department arrest warrant.
"I was nervous about it because I'd never been to court before," Irby said after the hearing at the Leon County Courthouse. "I was having trouble getting to sleep the last few nights because I didn't know if they were going to put me in jail or what."
He was also nervous about having to pay court costs because he lives on a fixed income.
Irby was booked into jail on Aug. 27 after being arrested. The incident that initiated legal action involved Irby wearing only a blue thong while in the office at the Greenwood Mobile Home Park on St. Augustine Road on Aug. 13. The office manager and a resident said Irby's genitals were exposed.
Four days later, another park resident accused Irby of intentionally exposing himself two times near her mobile home. The final accusation was brought by a woman who said Irby was fully exposed despite wearing a thong as he rode his bike near Magnolia Drive and Apalachee Parkway.
Irby said he is still riding his bike when weather permits and that he has been able to ride without a thong since the time of his arrest.
"I finally found biker shorts that come down to about here that I can wear," he said tapping just above his left knee.

Not all whiskeys are created equal, and if you don't believe that, then you've never had a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label in your liquor cabinet. Improving on more than 190 years of tradition, this particular taste brings a full, rich body of flavors that end with a nice blend of smoke, pepper, and spice.
Each aroma is selected by master whiskey blenders and woven together into a unique concoction that you've got to see, or taste rather, to believe. For best enjoyment, down some ice water ahead of time to clear the palate. It's going to need the prep time for what it's about to experience. Good luck finding a bottle, though. Unfortunately, you can't find a single bottle where I live, but I do accept gifts, so look me up if you're feeling generous.
