The following post is from staff writer Melissa Batai
When I was young, my parents didn't have a lot of money. I was expected to work, first babysitting when I was a young teenager, and then at restaurant and retail jobs when I was in my later teen years. Doing so provided me with a strong work ethic, and I appreciate that my parents had this philosophy.
Before I worked, I wasn't involved in any extracurricular activities. When I was old enough to have a job, I paid for my own extracurriculars as well as hobbies.
Today's generation of kids seem to be involved in extracurricular activities from the time they're small children—first Mommy and Me classes, then sports, then sometimes moving up to expensive traveling leagues. My children are no different.
Investing in Their Extracurriculars
My son started taking tap dance when he was five years old. When he was seven, I quit my job to stay home with our three kids full-time. Money was tight, so the dance teacher said I could clean the studio one Saturday a month to pay for his class.
My son came with me to clean and worked right beside me. He enjoyed helping to clean the studio (surprisingly), and I appreciated that he had a stake in his own class.
My son is 11.5 years old now, and he is not earning any income now besides an allowance. However, my husband and I feel it's important for him to have a financial investment in his extracurricular activities.
When he was young, that meant cleaning the dance studio with me. Now that he's older, it means paying 10% of the cost of his extracurriculars.
That's right, we make our child pay a portion of his extracurriculars.
This year, he decided that he wanted to take archery for 4-H. We went to several practice sessions, and his friends were nice enough to let him try out several of the bows before he committed to the one he wanted.
The bow, arrow, and other supplies came to $200. We agreed he could participate in the group if he paid 10%, or $20 for the bow and arrows. He did, without complaint, and he loves participating in archery.
Why We Require Our Children to Pay 10%
This was the first year we made our son pay something for his activities. I'll likely wait until my younger kids are 10 or 11 to institute this rule for them, too. There are a variety of reasons why we do this:
Commitment. Kids can be notoriously fickle. They may sign up for one activity and decide three months later that it's not right for them. However, if they have invested their own money, they're likely to consider carefully before they commit, and they are less likely to drop out.
Responsibility. We don't want our kids to think that we're an ATM available for all of their interests. We want them to take responsibility for the activities that they choose. We also want to teach them how to learn to responsibly manage their money.
My Question for You
Do you think tweens and teens should pay a percentage of their extracurricular activities, or do you feel that's being unfair to kids and placing an undue burden on them?

When we finally got to Virginia I felt like I deserved a few days off. I wanted to lounge around, stay in my pajamas and really just not do a whole lot. So, we did. And we got bored. REALLY bored. The kids were fighting, I was not happy, and we all kind of just moped around (with the exception of Sam who was busy trying to make up for 3 weeks of only working half time). Monday I decided that was enough and we needed to go SEE something to prove we really made it to the other side of the country. We packed a picnic dinner and headed in to the National Mall to be tourists.
I'll admit that parking in downtown DC stresses me out. There really is no good way to do it – and to take our whole family in on the metro is cost prohibitive. Kind of a no-win. After some googling around I found out that if you park on Ohio Street it is free, and fairly close to the Lincoln Memorial, but good luck actually finding a spot. We got lucky.
Lincoln was such a great man and president. I'm sure my kids did not even begin to comprehend the important of this memorial, but it was inspiring for Sam and I. Mostly they ran around and got their wiggles out. Having young kids is one thing that makes this trip harder. I really doubt they will remember much about the things we see here. I came when I was 15 and barely remember. But, that's why we come back right? To remember.
One thing I also learned is that the National Mall is run by the National Park Service. Totally makes sense (because who else would be better?) but it just didn't occur to me. When I think of National Parks, I think green grass and trees, or red rock formations. They also have a really cool smart phone app with a map and lots of awesome information about each memorial, and you can also have your kids participate in the Junior Ranger Program and earn a badge. We didn't get one this trip, but next time we are up there we're going to grab it and get started.
We had our little picnic dinner along the reflecting pond. One of my observations is that there were runners EVERYWHERE. No joke. Maybe because we went in an evening after work, or maybe because the weather was absolutely gorgeous (ie not humid) but wow. Everyone was out for exercise.
This is the WWII Memorial. It was gorgeous. I felt it helped me get a sense of the vastness of the war and how it really did engulf the whole world. They have the battles in the Atlantic and Pacific on either end of the fountain with the countries involved in each front of the war. Mostly my kids just wanted to practice their balancing skills, but that was totally fine with me.
After almost 3 weeks of traveling it was great to finally get here and really FEEL like we were here. You know? And we weren't in a hurry. We didn't have to see everything in one day – we'll be here for months after all. And our conclusion is that we have to stop traveling slowly. We went from 3 weeks of fast pace and always moving to nothing overnight. It was a crazy change of pace – one that we didn't like. So, we'll do better next time.

The countdown has begun to the start of the new Driffield and District League season with the make-up of the two divisions being announced.
The Premier Division will feature 10 teams with 12 sides battling it out for Division One honours when the campaign kicks off on September 7.
Organisation of the league has been hampered by three teams dropping out since registration opened in May. Seabirds Bridlington had become AFC Lounge Bar and had planned to expand to two teams, but the club's firsts have withdrawn.
Northcote FC have also fallen by the wayside, as have Bridlington Snooker Centre 1sts, although its 2nds will continue in Division One.
Other changes see an extra Driffield-based team, Full Measure, joining the ranks, while last season's Greyhound FC have become Hilderthorpe FC.
The line up is
Premier Division: Bridlington Excelsior, Bridlington Rovers, Bridlington Tigers, Driffield JFC 2nds, Driffield Star, Flamborough 1sts, Foresters Athletic 1sts, Mermaid Utd Old Boys, Sports Club United, Stirling Wanderers
First Division: AFC Lounge Bar, Bridlington Snooker Centre, Driffield JFC 3rds, Driffield Red Lion, Driffield Town, Flamborough 2nds, Foresters Athletic 2nds, Full Measure, Hilderthorpe FC, North Frodingham, Pocklington 4ths, Stirling Wanderers Reserves
The league's fixture lists have also been confirmed. The opening fortnight looks like this:
September 7: Premier Division: Bridlington Excelsiors v Stirling Wanderers, Bridlington Rovers v Driffield JFC 2nds Driffield Star v Bridlington Tigers, Forester Athletic v Mermaid Utd Old Boys, Sports Club United v Flamborough
Division One: Driffield JFC 3rds v Forester Athletic 2nds, Driffield Town v Driffield Red Lion, Flamborough 2nds v Pocklington 4ths, Full Measure v AFC Lounge Bar, Stirling Wanderers Reserves v Hilderthorpe.
September 14: Premier Division: Bridlington Tigers v Bridlington Excelsior, Driffield JFC 2nds v Forester Athletic, Flamborough v Bridlington Rovers, Mermaid Utd Old Boys v Driffield Star, Stirling Wanderers v Sports Club United
Division One: AFC Lounge Bar v Flamborough 2nd, Driffield Red Lion v Driffield JFC 3rds, Forester Athletic 2nds v Full Measure, Hilderthorpe v Bridlington Snooker Centre, North Frodingham v Driffield Town, Pocklington 4ths v Stirling Wanderers Reserves

I just finished a book, The Cannabis Manifesto, by Steve DeAngelo. It was a very good read for me and appeared at a time in my life when I needed another push to become more active in cannabis reform in America. I'm constantly looking for new books on the subject of medical cannabis and I may have skipped this one if it weren't for the well known author and cannabis activist, and the push from Johnny Green from The Weed Blog to get the book.
Steve DeAngelo has been actively involved in marijuana reform since he was a young Yippie, and has as much experience with the movement as just about anyone out there. He created the largest cannabis dispensary in the country, Harborside Health Center, in Oakland, CA and also now in San Jose. I use the term "dispensary" very loosely because Steve and his crew offer so much more than cannabis products. They offer their patients an education, compassion and options, options being they are concerned with whole body wellness and have alternative treatments at each location, like acupuncture, reiki, massage, you name it, and Harborside offers these treatments to their patients free of charge. They have created the "model" that all dispensaries in the country should aspire to.
This blog is for patients and prospective patients and represents my journey with cannabis medicine and this book is part of the journey. From time to time I need to get pumped up to write. Steve's book, along with my present local advocacy needs happened at the just the right time to push me to address my own cannabis advocacy and activism. Steve will pump you up. One thing I really appreciate about Steve is his tenacity. He is still actively involved with the medical cannabis movement, is considered an expert in his field, is often interviewed and quoted, and is constantly educating anyone who will listen, (and some who don't). This book was the push I needed.
I came away thinking education is the key to cannabis success. Because I have learned so much over the years, and I have so many well informed friends, I forget that the vast majority of people out there have no clue about using cannabis. I believe many people involved in cannabis activism do know their stuff, so here is my plea… If you know something, share it. Share with your family, share with your friends, most importantly share with your doctors and other health care providers, and come out of the cannabis closet. We aren't going to win the fight hiding ourselves from the public. I do realize that some people can't do this yet for many reasons, but you must ask yourself, "Is now the time? And if not, when?" People need to know who we are and what cannabis has done to forever change our lives for the better, and why.
So many people I meet through my local cannabis advocacy group, the NM Medical Cannabis Patient Alliance, are angry. I see anger all over the internet as well – cannabis users hating on people who don't know any better and are against cannabis legalization and cannabis as medicine. It is our duty to educate these people and not despise them. In order to educate you must have the knowledge you need to convert the unbelievers. We all demand compassion for ourselves, but we must also remember to have and show compassion to the uninformed, because these people have had decades of brain washing that we need to reach through with the truth. The old adage, "You can draw more flies with honey, than with vinegar" comes to mind. Be sweet, be accurate, and be prepared.
If there is one book out there that can help you to prepare for compassionate advocacy, Steve DeAngelo's The Cannabis Manifesto may be it. Concise, well researched and cited, this is a great handbook for any cannabis advocate. Some may say it is a perfect book to give someone who is against cannabis use, but I think there may be better books for that, like Julie Holland's, The Pot Book. The Cannabis Manifesto is better for people either sitting on the fence or people who already know that cannabis is not a demonic trip to hell. It is essential for good advocacy.
So, get out there, be active in your cannabis community. Help each other to never stop learning. Teach the people in your life, and then reach out to anyone who shows an interest. Educate your doctors, nurses, and therapists. Always take the opportunity to speak up when you hear someone preaching crap about cannabis, but don't ever condemn their ignorance. Instead, you must educate them. We just can't go around condemning all the cannabis ignorance out there. Be the honey to all those flies.

So, your last relationship didn't work out. It happens. But during the relationship, your body got used to attention that it's having a hard time doing without. Only thing is, you've always been protective with your box and you have more respect for yourself than to give it up to just anybody. Still, not getting that sexual gratification drives you crazy. Why? Our bodies weren't designed to start having sex and stop before our biological clock said so. Christians would argue this is even more the reason to wait 'til marriage but in the name of fairness, let's just say you're not as perfect as the average Christian. So you're simply not ready to get back into a relationship, not up for the challenge of celibacy, and your mama taught you better than to sleep around. What else is there?
Friends with benefits.
Most people only know the wrong way to do this and for that reason have been turned off from the idea. But there's 3 reasons why a Friends With Benefits-ship deserves consideration:
1. Keeps your dignity intact.
2. Not having overlapping partners significantly decreases your chances for STDs
3. Keeps you from making an appearance on Maury about who you are 1000% sure is your "baby daddy"
Do understand that this shouldn't be preferred over a healthy relationship, but sometimes it can help ease the grace period between attempts at love. On the contrary, it can get sticky when feelings get involved, and when it's not revolved around complete honesty and openness. A Friends With Benefits-ship is only for the person who is planning on being single for a while, has a high sex drive, but still has too much self respect to have several partners at one time. So what's the "right" way to do this and enjoy the full benefits with little to no drawbacks?
First, get to know your potential friend with benefits. It's not ok to be complete strangers with someone you'll be sharing something so valuable with. Talk about where you're at in your life and make sure it's on the same page as his. This is critical because if he's in a relationship then it puts you in a compromising position. You really don't need the side chick drama and there's more fish in the sea, single fish. So after it's established that both of you are two people that are ok with being single for the moment then your next step is to....
Write him off as potential relationship material. If he seems to be the right guy but it's still the wrong time for you, then going any further is going to send you on an emotional roller coaster and wouldn't be fair to him. Put yellow tape around your heart and let him know he is in no way welcome to enter. Toss him a roll so he can do the same because you don't want to lead him on either. Now if this hasn't run him off and you still have his attention it's time to move on to your final step....
Establish a thorough understanding of what you want with a high priority on honesty. Given that you've already gotten to know him, you trust him to his word. If he can agree to be completely open and honest with you about what he's doing outside you guys' friends with benefits-ship, you can make sure that physically, you two are monogamous. It defeats the purpose if either of you are still sexually active with multiple partners. But to avoid relationship parameters and ultimately expectations, agree to being open about what happens in each other's outside sex life so should either of you feel the need to sexually engage with another, you can peacefully end your own rendezvous and walk away.
Now at this point, you've got a guy here you're attracted to but have no emotional connection with that's proven himself worthy of a hormonal outlet for you. Now all you have to do is go get tested together and you're ready to do your thing. I know this sounds like a bit much but if you take your health and your self-respect seriously, it's a small price to pay for pretty high reward. Now you're able to not only be single with a bit more peace of mind(and body) but you can entertain real potential relationship partners without having to rush things because of sex. It's much easier to discern a man who's worthy of your heart when your hormones aren't constantly nagging for attention. However, this is one of those good things that aren't meant to last forever and you have to remain realistic about that. If at any point you start including quality time, good morning texts, dates, etc...you're going to get more than you bargained for and I don't mean that in a good way. This isn't meant to be fulfilling but it's a reasonable alternative to the lonely, empty, frustrating feeling of not having someone to satisfy your physical cravings. Cravings that would normally either send us back to our ex we're better off without or becoming a revolving door for one-night standers.

Blog Award!
Zomg I wasn't expecting this! Here I am, sitting at home, listening to some lovely Nine Inch Nails ("Reptile" to be exact, my favorite NIN song) and I get an email from Erica of Rikki Nails awarding me for my blog! Eee! Haha I'm having so much fun with this blog, and I'm glad other people are appreciating it too!
Okay okay, so I'm meant to post a few things and they are:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.
So first and foremost, THANK YOU ERICA! I'm pleased as punch to receive this award, and it's no wonder that you received one too, you're awesome!
I'm quite random, so choosing only 7 things to share is going to take some careful deliberation:
1. I've worked at Bare Escentuals for nearing 5 years and was recently re-promoted to keyholder. I say "re-promoted" because two years ago I was promoted the first time to keyholder but had to step down due to scheduling restraints as I was attending school at the same time. But now I love what I'm doing and hope to move forward through the company, possibly in product development or education.
2. I am pretty good at doing accents. I can do a really awesome British accent, a decent New York and southern accent and an Irish accent that could use some work.
3. My top favorite bands: Nine Inch Nails, Glassjaw, Coheed and Cambria, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy and Deftones. I love 90's grunge/alternative, hardcore, and punk, but I also love something good to dance to like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and other stuff like that.
4. My favorite magazine to read is Allure. They always have the best hair and makeup tips fresh from the runway, which is always my cup of tea since I don't care about fashion as much as I care about eye shadow.
5. I have two kittehs named Lincecum (boy) and Posey (girl). You should know by now that I have a healthy love for the San Francisco Giants baseball team so we named our cats after Tim Lincecum and Buster Posey.
6. I love beer! Any kind! I love Guinness!!! And Blue Moon and Stella Artois, but I'm not above drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon :D

A civil case against Da Brat is on its way to court as jury selection starts today.
The rapper (born Shawntae Harris) is accused of accused of breaking a rum bottle over an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader's head during a 2007 Halloween party altercation.
The party took place at a club owned by So-So Def Recordings CEO Jermaine Dupri. A civil suit was reportedly filed two years later in 2009.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Da Brat faces civil allegations in Cobb County Superior Court that her actions caused Shayla Stevens "permanent facial scarring, neurological impairment and severe mental pain."
In a statement released last Wednesday, Stevens' attorneys also claim that their client's injuries also hindered her showbiz aspirations.
"Ms. Stevens suffered permanent damage to her face including possible neurological damage, forcing her to relinquish her duties with the Atlanta Falcons and to give up a budding acting career with an appearance on Tyler Perry's 'House of Payne' television show," the attorneys stated.
At the time of the incident, Da Brat was living in Atlanta and Chicago. The entertainer is noted for being the first female rapper to sell 1 million copies of an album, for her 1994 debut "Funkdafied."

One thought about the writer/editor of the articles on this site. The articles routinely have editorial and/or grammatical errors. The articles should be proof read before posting. It is embarrassing to read some of the articles on this site for OUR people.
Da-brat does this girl ever stay out of trouble, I mean how old is she now, she is always in some kind of brawl, or going to court , da-brat maybe you need to call Ms, Vanszant fix my life, you truly need to get it together and grow up and start acting like a young woman. stop fighting everybody, seems like she is a very angry young woman.

Today on this article, you will learn how to make cheap calls with Glo to other network at the rate of 11k/sec and also you will get 1GB on MTN with N500.
All you have to do is to follow the below outlined guidelines to each tweak. They are all very simple tweak. Let's start with Glo making calls at the rate of 11k/sec.
How to Make Cheap Calls with Glo 11kb/sec to Other Network
As I have earlier said, there is no much thing to do, all you have to do is to migrate to a particular plan and see yourself making a cheaper calls.
Glo Nigeria have been doing it for a very long time but this particular one crowns it all. Mtn has done theirs by introducing True Talk+ while Airtel did theirs by launching SmartTalk.
But you have to note that, it applies with daily fees of N5. And this N5 fees is only taken at your first calls.
If you interested, then you are to migrate to this particular plan by dialing *100*6*1# and again, the N5 only applies when you make your first call.
Why I love this, is that it applies to network such as MTN, Airtel, Etisalat etc.
How to Get Your 1GB on Your MTN with #500
I saw this online and people have so far responded to it and trust me, it is surfing like mad. So why can't try yours out.
It is simple and short, all you have to do is to tweak your Android IMEI with 359869060006361
*. Then change the last 1, 2 or 3 digits to your choice.
*. After which you text A1 to 131 once you've confirm your imei changed
Thats all. Happy New Week Fellas!

Of course, I've arranged an appointment with my doctor.
Right now I've had an itchy red rash on the top of my hands for quite a few days now. It's not 24/7, but at some points in the day it'll get itchy. But it's only over a certain specific area on the top of my right hand (from the bottom of my thumb to the bottom of the next finger) and the tops of the middle sections of my middle and index finger on my left hand.
Also, the rash goes skin-coloured when I stretch it and such. On the odd occasion, there has been one or two bumps, which looks like a bite to me perhaps.
I've had it before but it's usually only been one bout and rare, rather than once or twice a day over a few days. Closest thing I've had other than that was when I was 13/14 and I would get bubbles in part of the palm of my hands, they were itchy if I recall correctly. When I pierced them they'd be sticky. (my mum said something about heat...)
Anyway, my mum says this rash is an allergy. Does that sound about right in anyone's experience?
If so, I suspect a cat allergy.
Could be a form of psoriasis, or an allergy, or just very dry air, depending on where you are. It's not likely to be a fungus or infection. Which is both good and bad - that could be more serious, but at least it's gone when it's cured.
Does hydrocortisone help? It's not a prescription drug and will help remove both allergy and other symptoms, very safe stuff, but you shouldn't take it for more than a few weeks (and it only provides relief, not a cure as such). Does skin care cream make it better or worse (looks better but feels worse?)
Your doctor will be able to identify if it is an allergy and if it is, what it's against. But it seems very localized for an allergy.
Anyway, good luck. It doesn't sound like anything serious, but it's certainly annoying.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eczema ?
Certainly doesn't seem to be psoriasis, although I think my mum has that, as it's not scaly and isn't anywhere else. Don't really think eczema either. Cold exasperates eczema rash, doesn't it? With my rash, cold soothes it. Also, my mum gave me a cream and that worked. Had no bleeding or ickyness either. Only closest thing are those raised, but painless, bumps which can appear when scratching, but no cracking or scaly scabs or anything like that.
Before, on the very rare occasion I experienced the rash, it was like having a real itchy itch, just the kind that would itch just as much when I scratched, but it would be gone in minutes. Just like any other itch that just so happened to be in an area where scratching felt good.
It's just this week it hasn't stopped itching completely and a couple of times it was really badly itchy.
I'd say the itch is most prominent on the area of my fingers from, and including, my knuckles and the two sections of the fingers from the knuckle (in other words: the fingers except for the nails).
At least it's only ever on the top/non-palms of my hands and fingers. Well, I hope that's a good thing.
Maybe it's fleas or bugs or something. *shrug* If it is one of the many skin conditions, it must be a very mild form of it.
Is there something you rest on your fingers? Do you have a beginning beard and you hold your hand below your chin, or new gloves, something you like to brush your fingers against, anything like that?
(Chin stubble can be surprisingly sharp and cause all sorts of itches.).
Honestly, I doubt very much it's fleas or bugs; they tend to go for arms and ankles - or the more juicy areas, if exposed - unless you've been digging in an anthill or something with your fingers. I'd rather suspect nettles, poison ivy, or stinging jellyfish, but you really should know if you have been in contact with that sort of stuff.
It is safe to say that an allergy does not tend to be localized except to the places that touch the allergenic material. The top of your fingers in slightly unusual for that. Psoriasis as well as Enzcema takes MANY forms, so I wouldn't rule either out - most pictures are of rather extreme forms. However, I think speculation is kind of pointless, it is certainly best to go to the doctor - you allready have that appointment - and get the verdict there. He can actually give you something that will help, too.
Ha, well when I did get an itch I would scratch it with my stubble if I had shaved recently.
But that would be in response to the itch, rather than the cause. I've mostly stopped doing that anyway cos I didn't think it would be good, and I was suspicious it was causing the raised bumps.
The doctor said it could be anything.
Mystery solved!...no wait...

In this Instructable I will show you how to get started with the TI msp430-gcc toolchain on Linux, specifically Lubuntu. TI officially released msp430-gcc after taking it over from the open source community. This [hopefully] means there will be support for the latest chips as well as improvements and bug fixes. TI has actually provided a Linux installer, but I will show you how to compile it from source. Finally, using mspdebug we will load a sample application onto the MSP430 Launchpad with the MSP430G2553. These steps are taken from my website where I am posting free tutorials on embedded software development. For more details and information checkout simplyembedded.org
Step 1: Get the compiler sources and support files
Fire up your browser and go to TI's download site. At the bottom in the "Products Downloads" table, you should download these two files:
Open up a terminal, navigate to your downloads folder and extract the first package.
cd ~/Downloads tar xvf msp430-gcc-source.tar.bz2
This might take a while… If you are not familiar with the tar command, it is a very widely used archiving utility which supports multiple compression algorithms. The command line parameters we passed are as follows:
If you want to learn more about the tar command you should read the man page (i.e. "man tar" in the command line). Navigate to the newly created "sources/tools" directory. What you see in here may be a bit overwhelming, but really what TI has done is packaged all the components required to build the compiler and created a build system around it. Technically, gcc itself is only the compiler. The toolchain consists of many other packages which perform various tasks such as assembling, linking, built-in functions etc… Most of these are contained in binutils, but there are separate math libraries like mpc, mpfr and gmp. A standard C library (libc) is also typically included unless you are developing an operating system. In the case of TI's package, newlib is the C library they have chosen to include but there are plenty others such as glibc and uClibc.
Step 2: Compile the toolchain
Compiling gcc takes long, so I let's get it started and while it is compiling you can read the explanation for everything below. This is assuming that gcc and make are already installed on your system. If not you will need to install them.
cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt-get install texinfo expect libx11-dev g++ flex bison libncurses5-dev
sudo mkdir /opt/msp430-toolchain mkdir build cd build
export PREFIX=/opt/msp430-toolchain
export TARGET=msp430-none-elf
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
../sources/tools/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --program-prefix=msp430- --enable-languages=c --disable-nls
make all
Now that its running, here is the breakdown of what you just did.
sudo apt-get install texinfo expect libx11-dev g++ flex bison libncurses5-dev
Here we are installing packages that are required to compile gcc
As mentioned above, if you do not currently have gcc and make installed already, you must add them to this list.
sudo mkdir /opt/msp430-toolchain
This is directory in which the toolchain will be installed. Personally I like to install my toolchains under the "/opt" directory. This directory is owned by root, and other users can only read and execute so any time you install to this directory you must do so as root.
mkdir build
cd build
Next we have to create a build directory. One very important note about compiling gcc is you cannot build it in the source directory. If you try, you are very likely to get build errors.
export PREFIX=/opt/msp430-toolchain
export TARGET=msp430-none-elf
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
Before building gcc, some environment variables should be set. We don't want them to be system wide or persistent so we will set them only in the context of our shell. To do so we use the export command. The environment variables defined are:
../sources/tools/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --program-prefix=msp430- --enable-languages=c --disable-nls
As with most gnu programs, the build environment is based on automake/autoconf. These tools can be fairly complicated to understand and the parameters that you have pass into them are sometimes obscure and poorly documented. Basically this is what need to be done:
In the case of gcc, the configure script accepts many arguments but only a few are required in most cases. The target and prefix argument are as described above in the environment variables section. The program-prefix simply adds a prefix to all the binary files, so for example gcc will become msp430-gcc. This is useful when you want to have one makefile that can build the same code for many architectures. For example, if I wanted compile main.c for both msp430 and arm, I could define my compiler as $(target)-gcc and then configure with target=msp430 to use msp430-gcc or configure with target=arm to use arm-gcc. The disable-nls flag tells the build to disable Native Language Support (NLS) which basically means GCC only outputs diagnostics in English. Finally, enable-languages tells the build system to compile only the specified languages. Only C is enabled since that is the language we will be using. If you are interested in the many other options for gcc compilation you can read all about them here.
One last thing, if you need to completely clean your build directory or rebuild from scratch, the "make distclean" command is supposed to do this for you but in my experience it is often not effective. Its easier and safer to just delete the whole build directory and start again.
Did the compilation finish? If not take a coffee break…
Now that its done, you have to install it. Since /opt is owned by root, the install command has to be run with sudo.
sudo make install
This copies all the required files from the build directory to the directory specified by the environment variable PREFIX.
Step 3: Adding the support files
The final step before we are done is installing the device support header and linker files. These files are provided separately from TI in the second file downloaded in step 1.
cd ~/Downloads unzip msp430-support-files.zip
The files will be extracted to an "include" directory. Inside you will see a lot of header files and linker scripts. The header files include all the device specific definitions and memory locations for registers and peripherals. The linker scripts tell the linker how to map various sections of code to physical memory locations on the device. Although they are all packaged together, the header and linker files belong in different locations in your installation. Use the following commands to copy the files to the appropriate location.
cd include
chmod -R 755 *
sudo cp *.ld $PREFIX/msp430-none-elf/lib/430/
sudo cp *.h $PREFIX/msp430-none-elf/include
The second command is used to change the permissions of the files to match the default permissions of the /opt directory. The location where the files are copied to is defined by the toolchain. If you put them somewhere else, it won't find them. The compiler is now installed on your system.
Step 4: Getting the code
The source code I have provided is available on github. When you create a repository on github it is assigned a URL which can be used to obtain a copy of the repository using the git clone command.
git clone https://github.com/simplyembedded/msp430_launchpad.git
git checkout -b lesson_3_devel lesson_3
The cloned repository will now be available in the directory called msp430_launchpad. Navigate into this directory. You should now see two files, README and main.c. This code blinks one of the LEDs on the device.
Step 5: Running the code
Finally let us compile and run the code! Start by using the following command to compile using gcc. This assumes you have installed the MSP430G2553 device on your Launchpad.
/opt/msp430-toolchain/bin/msp430-gcc -mmcu=msp430g2553 main.c
The the 'mmcu' flag tells the compiler which microcontroller to compile for. When compiled with -mmcu=msp430g2553, the compiler will, amongst other things, define __MSP430G2553__ (i. e. #define __MSP430G2553__ in code) . This define is used to determine which header file should be used. Once the code is compiled, there will be a new file called a.out. The name of the file 'a.out' is the default gcc output filename if one is not specified. Next the file can be downloaded to the target. There are a few tools which can be used to download the code to the target. The first is gdb, which is the standard in the open source community for debugging. GDB can run standalone if you are debugging on your host machine. However, if you are debugging on a target, there needs to be an additional interface available. This is sometimes implemented as a utility called gdbserver, which creates a TCP/IP connection that gdb can connect to. Manufacturers of some JTAG (diagnostics interface) tools make their own gdbserver for their tools. GDB is extremely powerful and very mature, but can be a bit difficult to set up and learn. For this reason, I will start off with the second option, mspdebug. This utility is an open source project created specifically for programming and debugging the MSP430s. It is very simple to use and is available for download in the Ubuntu repositories, so let's install this utility.
sudo apt-get install mspdebug
Now, connect the USB cable to the MSP430 Launchpad and to your computer. Mspdebug supports a number of drivers to accommodate various hardware interfaces. In the case of the MSP430 Launchpad, we must use the 'rf2500' driver. To start mspdebug with this driver, use the following command:
mspdebug rf2500
You should see the program connecting to the device. Once it is connected, program a.out to the device.
prog a.out
Each section of code will be written to the device flash. Now you can run the program by typing 'run' into mspdebug. The red LED on the board will start flashing. To stop the program use CTRL-C. To reset the board, use the 'reset' command. And there you have it. If you found this Instructable useful, make sure to check out the full tutorial and more at simplyembedded.org

Buy Tires in California Camarillo 93011
How to Get much on Tires
Did you know you can haggle if you are buying tires? That is right — you must never have to pay a high price. After deciding what brand you want, go to a dealer and put your haggling skills to the test. Make sure you first do some online research, since you'll often find a better deal online than you can get in person. Getting prepared before making a purchase is the ultimate way to ensure you're getting a good deal. Decide which make of wheel you want. A particular brand dealer can get you a far greater price on the brand his store is had by, because they are acquired by him direct from the factory. When you make an effort to get a brandname different from the one the dealer has, they may be bought by him from a tire wholesaler, and then marks them up 20% to 30%. Many companies have ended selling immediate to retailers and department stores, instead marketing their auto tires through a more substantial wholesaler and handling the price level insurance agencies dealers join an alliance program.
Big-box stores such as Walmart and Sears, and warehouse stores such as Costco and Sam's Club, frequently have low but probably non-negotiable prices on auto tires. Do your homework. Know which tire you want when you walk in. They will be pressing their top-of-the-line wheel at the moment because the salespeople get more commission per car tire on those. Also have another and even a third choice as a back-up to your first choice. Today you could be able to get a much better tire for a lesser price.
Do not accept the first offer. Wheels are marked up, & most salespeople will work out the price with the suggested retail price. This can be from $5 to $50 over store cost per tire. Make sure the price includes installation and balance.
Get prices from other dealers before stepping into the store. The ultimate way to do that is call and have for prices on the wheels that you've decided to purchase. They'll sell you another brand that they lay claim is an improved deal (which may also be true). Getting estimates from multiple retailers can help you determine when retailers are being honest and when they are simply just out for more income.
Always consider buying from a web based wheel store. You may find a much better deal than any mortar and brick store, once you add delivery charges even. This is true for less popular brands of auto tires and/or high-performance tires especially.
Online stores will dispatch the wheels right to a mechanic of your decision often, who will perform the genuine installation.
Online stores such as TireBuyer will most likely provide numerous reviews of different kinds of wheels and ratings of various aspects of their performance such as drive, dry and wet traction, fuel use, and longevity.
Remember that balancing and unit installation can be an additional cost.
Any warranty promises are with the web retailer rather than the installer.
Be aware that a wheel that lasts twice as long will definitely cost half just as much to buy and half just as much to have installed, have the old tire disposed, etc.

Another South African, Grant Young, made the substitutes' bench for the division's Team of the Decade.Jordan's widow Sherry, his former Auckland City coach Allan Jones, club chairperson Ivan Vuksich and New Zealand Football CEO Andy Martin were on hand on Sunday for the presentation of the award in Auckland.Jones, who recruited Jordan to the club after the South African spent the inaugural season with Waitakere United, said the striker was a unique game-changer."Keryn had a massive effect both within the team and in the league," said Jones."Opponents were so conscious of his presence they over-covered the space he would use which often provided the opportunity for players breaking from our midfield to score."Second on the all-time ASB Premiership scoring list with 62 goals, Jones spoke of a player who ticked all the boxes."Keryn had an excellent attitude to work and demanded much from himself as well as those around him. He was a delight to coach, always interested and very professional in his approach to the game."His all-round technical ability was high, both on the ground and in the air. He was a clinical finisher and scored big goals in big games."Technically, he possessed one of the tightest reverse chop turns I've ever seen and he constantly wrong-footed centre backs with great embarrassment as those turns often produced direct strikes and goals." Jordan, who was 37 when he died, earned one cap for Bafana Bafana, and was a member of the Manning Rangers squad that won the inaugural Premier Soccer League title in 1996/97.

David Ellis
Key figure in the development of British ballet who led a ground-breaking visit to China but later returned to his first career in medicine
Although his background and training were in medicine, David Ellis played an important role in the development of ballet in England in the years after the Second World War. In 1951, with his wife Angela, the daughter of Marie Rambert and the playwright Ashley Dukes, he founded Ballet Workshop which provided the opportunity for fledgeling choreographers, designers and musicians to take their first steps and more experienced practitioners to expand their activities.
Ballet Workshop ended when Ellis was asked to take an active part in the running of Ballet Rambert. He became associate director in 1955 and served in that capacity until 1966 when circumstances led the company to change direction. During that time he led Ballet Rambert on a two-month tour of China, the…

Even though Wynette and George Jones divorced in 1975, the demand for their duets was so high that they continued to record together. Released five years after their divorce, "Two Story House" is yet another song that reflects the state of Wynette's marriage to Jones. The song tells the story of a couple who works toward putting together their dream home, but even their beautiful, well-decorated home can't save their marriage.
Despite the song's sad message, many listeners compared it to a more carefree tune...the popular nursery rhyme "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider." Many have argued that parts of the verses to Wynette and Jones' duet sound similar to the children's tune. Listen for yourself in the clip below and see what you think!

TRUE DETECTIVE Is the Second Highest Rated Television Show on IMDB
Let me be one voice among many telling you that if you aren't watching True Detective, you are missing out! The tension, drama, and mystery make it by far one of the best shows on television and have already earned it the spot of the second highest rated television show on IMDB! If you were curious, the top spot is currently held by Breaking Bad . Other notable shows include Game of Thrones at number four, Sherlock at six, and Firefly at ten. Of course, the shows with fewer episodes have an advantage, but in the case of True Detective just take my word for that it is the best thing on television (and Netflix) right now! I can't wait to see how this season with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey plays out!
I started out as a loyal reader of Geektyrant before emailing Joey one day about the potential of writing for Geektyrant. Now six years later I'm the managing editor of Gametyrant.com and still living the dream and giving my opinion to the geek masses! Geektyrant is my life, and I hope that shows in everything I do!

Amumu Build Guide by Fadwar
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Amumu Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, this is my first guide and it will be rather short. I have had recent success with Amumu in the jungle once I deviated from the top Amumu guide with my own modifications. Four wins out of five and very good scores regardless of the match outcome. I found that provided there is no other dedicated tank having a decent amount of CC, the extra health I build early helps tremendously.
I found this build to work very well in a game I played with a team set up as follows:
Top: Poppy (though I am sure any competent solo top would do fine)
Middle: Galio
Bottom: Nunu, Caitlyn
Jungle: Amumu
This team set up allowed for devastating combos provided our team took our time once the team fights began and had a preset strategy; Amumu, initiate and once Galio and Nunu are close or within flash range use Ultimate. Then Nunu uses ultimate and Galio as well. Ideally at the same time, just as long as Nunu is not channeling alone at the start in order to not get disrupted. With all that happening Poppy runs behind the team to curtail any runners while Caitlyn does what she does best, mess up whoever survives. This resulted in Nunu getting a number of kills despite being fairly underfarmed early. We didn't win every team fight but this strategy forced them to stay separate which Poppy, Ammumu and Caitlyn took advantage of.
Creeping / Jungling
Standard jungle route, making sure to have appropriate jungling masteries (check above). Blue, wolves, wraiths, red or golems --> gank.
Skill Sequence
Despair, Tantrum then Bandage Toss. After that your priority is your ultimate, tantrum, despair/bandage toss. Despair first if your opponents are more melee and bandage toss if they are more ranged. Since you are playing an offtank the stun is more useful and leveling it lowers the cd.
Team Work
I find this build suits Amumu as you are able to initiate a little more safely, by all means swap out lich bane for Guardian Angel if you get that far. Amumu is great for his stun, getting in the middle of the enemy and doing decent AoE damage and his amazing kill securing ultimate. Try to stay within range of the furthest enemy carry (or whoever the main target of your teammates is and use your ult to stop them from running away. I find that most teams know not to physically attack Amumu, which is also why I build more magic resist that most on him. Frozen Heart and Lich Bane are Optional and sometimes I build Abyssal Scepter or Guardian Angel. But usually I am never low on health at this point in the game so I don't really recall much. If I ever do the last items are very subjective to the enemy team, and what my team is lacking. Sometimes I even build Rylai's. Wish you all luck and good games, thanks.

Decorating tip: If you have an extra crepe, slice a portion of it into very thin strips and place a small mound of strips in the center of the crepe cake, then place a small spoon of blueberry sauce on top, followed by a mint leaf or two.
- Yield
- Serves 6-8
- Crepe Batter
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Ricotta Cheese Filling
- 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Blueberry Sauce
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- Butter for crepe pan
- Fresh mint, thinly sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Crepe batter: Melt butter in small skillet over medium high heat until butter takes on a golden brown color. Turn off heat, let cool slightly. In a blender, combine flour, sugar, salt. Run blender for 5 secs to combine. Add eggs, milk, browned butter to blender, run for 20 to 30 secs. Scrape down sides of blender with rubber spatula, add vanilla. Run blender on high 10 secs to combine. Transfer to bowl, let rest in fridge for 30 to 60 mins. Cheese filling: In food processor, combine ricotta, cream cheese, powdered sugar and zest. Process for 30 secs or until completely combined. Blueberry filling: In saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, butter, ¼ cup water. Cover, cook 7 minutes over medium high heat or until the mixture is boiling and mostly liquid. In small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch with 3 Tbls of cold water, and whisk until smooth. Pour this cornstarch into the boiling blueberry mixture, whisking constantly until the mixture has thickened. Let the blueberry mixture cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to thicken further, then remove from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. To assemble: Melt about ½ tablespoon of butter or enough to just lightly coat a small crepe pan (or 8" nonstick skillet). Over medium heat, pour ¼ cup crepe batter into the center of the pan, then swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the pan. Let the crepe cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the edges begin to set. Then carefully flip over and cook on the second side approximately 1 minute until the crepe is thoroughly cooked. When all crepes have been made, assemble the crepe cake. Begin with a crepe on the bottom and top with a thin layer of cheese filling. Top this with another crepe and then a thin layer of blueberry filling. Continue this pattern until you have a cake that is 8-10 crepes in height. Top the crepe cake with sliced mint and powdered sugar.

The first stage of re-birth is called reformation, a process affecting the understanding; the second stage is called regeneration, a process affecting the will and thus the understanding,
Since this and the following sections deal with reformation and regeneration, reformation being attributed to the understanding and regeneration to the will, the distinctions between the understanding and the will must be known, and these were described above (397). The reader is therefore advised to read what is said there first, and afterwards this section. It was also shown there that the evils a person acquires by birth are embedded in the will of the natural man, and that the will influences the understanding to take its part by thinking in harmony with it. It is therefore necessary, in order that a person may be regenerated, for the process to proceed through the understanding as intermediate cause. This happens through the pieces of information which the understanding receives. These are at first received from parents and teachers, later from reading the Word, from sermons, books and conversations. What the understanding receives from these sources are known as truths. So it means the same whether you say that reformation takes place through the understanding or through the truths the understanding receives. For truths teach the person in whom and what he should believe, and what he should do, so what he should will. For anything a person does is the result of the will acting in accordance with the understanding. Since then a person's will is of itself evil from birth, and because it is the understanding which teaches us what is evil and what is good, and it is possible to will the one and not will the other, it follows that a person must be reformed through the understanding. So long as anyone sees and mentally acknowledges that evil is evil, and good is good, thinking that good ought to be chosen, for so long is his state called reformation. But when his will is to shun evil and do good, that is when his state of regeneration begins.

If i were to ask this girl tomorrow at the beach how should i say it? I am going with a big group so i wish i get a lot of time to talk to her. If all goes well tomorrow, im planning to ask her to go for a date. Im kinda 60% sure she likes me, but should i take the risk? If she feels forced to say yes, what do i do? She's a good friend of mine, i dont want any awkward feelings if things go wrong, should i just do it another time?
Most Helpful Guy
If you're nervous, say her name. She'll say, "what" or something like that and then you'll have to say something. You'll be too nervous to improvise at that point and you'll ask for what you want. Don't try to be cute. Her mind is probably already made up. You can screw yourself a lot more easily than you can get in by saying something smooth. Also, make sure nobody else can hear you, as that will make her feel pressure to say yes and is unfair. If she says no, excuse yourself and walk away immediately. (think positive, but figure out where you will walk to first)00|00|0

Monika Elias, a wine specialist and publisher, says the success of the country's wine tourism lies in its unique offerings.
The industry used to have a strong focus on food and wine and has now grown to include other aspects such as accommodation and activities such as horse riding and walks to make it more appealing. It has also become a popular venue for weddings and other celebrations.
"It all adds value to the wine brands and it's a great visitor experience. We have one of the most beautiful winelands in the world and the most accessible," Elias told CNBC Africa.
(READ MORE: Millions spent on S.Africa's finest wines)
The country boasts 21 wine routes running through the Western Cape, Northern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal and offers over 500 wine farms that offer wine tasting.
The South African wine industry has created 2.7 million indirect and direct jobs and contributes roughly 30 billion rand to the country's GDP.
(WATCH VIDEO: China investing in SA wine industry)
"In the last ten years there's been an accelerated growth in wine tourism because the wineries are in for the long haul. You've got to look at how they can sell more wine," said Elias.
As the world's eighth largest wine producer the country attracts on average 60 per cent local tourists and 40 per cent international tourists.
Elias is also part of the team that compiled the Wine Tourism Handbook of South Africa, a guide to the top wineries and wines in the country.

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has heart attack: dies at 80
Because of a humorous portrayal of him on Seinfeld, we all learned about calzones.
I think he fired mr. berra in less than 30 rotations around the earth's axis, an act for which it took decades for mr. berra to forgive. I am missing a letter of mi keeboard hence the convoluted replieeee
A press release from Heaven announced that George Steinbrenner's first act was that he fired Billy Martin for a 6th time!
Separate names with a comma.


text: OK... long night. K has been horrible for months, if you have been keeping track. Her delusions have gotten so much worse in the past few months. I am trying to keep separate the new addition of Depakote and her "normal" behaviors!!! But, husband left for a week on Monday... she had only been doing OK for a couple of days, maybe a week max. So last night she is very heightened, GIDDY... annoying to the point of scary mania. "Mommy I can see the fairies crawling all over you" TEE HEE... I was semi sick to my stomach by the time I got her to bed. She was this way prior to starting the Depakote. Last night she tells me that since being in Tucson, she has now been seeing her "fairies" during the day and all of the time. This was part of my major drag last night, very unnerving all around. So today she has been on edge, she has been complaining a bit about upset stomach. But not too bad. Just kind of Blah. But very manic-like... weird. Lots of giggling. She was violent with me for over an hour and a half. Over all of us cleaning some stuff up and not watching more TV after we watched a movie. I am trying to go very easy on her. Due to the new medication and instability. She just lost it and started attacking me. N was so scared, (she also jumped on N's back last night? I didn't get the whole story, but scared N bad!) I ended up getting N in the bath, restraining K... she got giggly. Was OK. N out of the bath. Can't even remember what triggered her again, she attacked me again... I finally had to hold her face and look her in the eye, yell, "You will not hurt me any more!" and push her to the floor as I walked away. She was just throwing herself on me and laughing, hitting, spitting. I was trying to get N dressed, she was still in a towel. So she is crying how I hurt her, but calmer, in her room. I call husband to let him know what happened and so he can say good night to N. K comes out sobbing about how hurt she is, talks to husband. She sinks to her low now. Lays on me and is just a heap... I have to have them sleep in my bed AGAIN... we are lying there and she says, "Mom, shh, I have a secret, we are Super Heroes"! "You have to keep it a, tee-hee, secret, don't talk to anyone, but we, hee-hee, have powers" So I go on to ask her what she means? Because she will not stop. "I am HEALTHY GIRL!" she says... I am trying not to laugh... I ask her why? She says because I try to eat healthy... OK. I said well what powers do you have? She said, "I am trying to help the human race be healthier!" She said she is trying to figure out what color costume to wear!!! After all of that and such a crappy night and everything being so on edge for her, she goes and says something like this... she blows me away sometimes. You know tonight was one of those nights were I thought about how she might need Hospitalization. But here in Idaho where we are. There is NO where to put her... I want to give the Depakote a chance. But man somedays you just ask yourself, When is someone gonna make the miracle medication??? Or a cure? I am not even angry about the violence, I am just sad for her. And N. Oh I asked her what powers I had? She said, "Well what do you enjoy?" I said, "A good night's sleep!" She said, "Well that is your power, to help people sleep!"

Dear Kid,
Once again we have rounded the weekly corner and it is Monday.
For some people, Mondays are to be dreaded as they involve going back to school or work and returning to the weekday routine.
For other people, Mondays are to be celebrated as they involve going back to school or work and returning to the weekday routine.
And for still others, Mondays are simply Mondays.
For the Puppy, Mondays are exciting because every day is exciting. One of the great things about dogs is they have a very low bar for excitement. Morning! Fantastic. Air molecules! How wonderful!
How you feel about Mondays has a great deal to do with how you feel about your life in general. When you're in a good place, Mondays may not be the Best of All Possible Things, but they are generally not hideous. When you're life is not all it needs to be, Mondays can be pretty bad.
If you're happy today is Monday, YAY! Happy Monday, and may you have a wonderful week.
If you're not happy to find yourself facing another Monday, take a look at your life and think about what you might be able to change to make Mondays more bearable. After all, Mondays constitute 1/7 of your life. That's a lot of time to dread.
And if you should be lucky enough for this particular Monday to be your birthday, then you are a very lucky bunny indeed. And I hope it is an exceptionally wonderful birthday.

Week 1 is in the books, and so is the New York Jets first win (31-10) of the season!
What's understood doesn't need to be stated. It was the Cleveland Browns. I get it. But in a tough AFC East division, where each team is 4-0 after kicking off the season, every win is significant. The Jets must win its winnable games if they want any chance of winning the division or grabbing a wild card spot come playoff time. So far, so good, and I am pleased. Especially pleased as a matter of fact, because not only did the Jets win, but they busted down the Browns; beating them by 21 points. This is life.
Here are three things about the Jets that jumped off the tube at me, yesterday.
For the first time in years, the Jets offense has depth. We can ground and pound with Chris Ivory, who is absolutely beastly (91 yards, 2 TDs) or put it in the air to Brandon Marshall (62 yards, 1 TD) or Eric Decker (37 yards, 1 TD). Or even Chris Owusu (55 yards). Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (179 yards, 2 TDs) has talent, accuracy, sense, timing, and in general, a feel for the game that Geno Smith never exhibited. Fitz beautifully threaded the needle to Decker for a 15-yard touchdown that had me drooling. Or what about Marshall's touchdown catch? Fitz perfectly targeted Marshall, who like spiderman, rose above Pro Bowler Joe Haden and snatched the ball out of the air. And even when Fitz did his best Smith impression, throwing an interception in the second quarter, it was no big deal. Marshall swooped in and stripped the ball from Tashaun Gipson, retaining possession for the Jets. It was exactly the type of backwards-ass play you'd expect from the Brown and Jets, but the Jets came out on top, so whatevs. From the second quarter on, it was just that kinda day for the Jets offense. Could this be our new normal? Possibly.
Finally, the Jets have weapons. And Fitz isn't afraid to use them.
Oh. And just because…
The supposed great Jets defense looked extremely shady at the start of the game. The Browns held onto the ball for 19 plays and 10 minutes during the opening drive. After absolute domination, the drive was halted by a Josh McCown (49 yards, 1 fumble) fumble and recovery by Antonio Cromartie. Thank God. McCown was subsequently concussed, and the Johnny Manziel (182 yards, 1 TD, 1INT) show commenced. Manziel ran around like a chicken with his head cut off, charging down the field at will. But he caused the most damage, converting on 3rd and 19. Going long to Travis Benjamin (89 yards, 1 TD), who decimated Cromartie's coverage, the Brown's struck first with a 54-yard touchdown.
At this point, I cursed every player on the Jets defense. But quickly changed my tune once the Jets got on the board and racked up 31 points.
The Brandon Marshall strip was the game changing play of the game, no question. But a Manziel interception recovered by Cromartie's replacement (knee injury), Marcus Williams, indicated that with or without Cro, the secondary will be alright. Then, factor in two Manziel fumbles recovered by the Jets, and NO Sheldon Richardson on the frontline, I was suddenly feeling a whole lot better about my squad.
Maybe the Jets defense is as good as advertised, after all.
And lastly, there was no greater sight than observing Geno Smith in plain clothes, on the sidelines, holding a clipboard, and taking notes. That's a visual I could get used to.
Next, the Jets are in Indy taking on the Colts. Rex Ryan and the Bills got in the Colts' ass on Sunday, which I doubt anyone expected, so the Colts will be especially motivated to bounce back. Meanwhile, the Jets will be high off of Sunday's win over the Browns and confident. Regardless of what the Colts showed against the Bills, they're still considered an elite team in the league. Jets fans will gain a better sense of what our team is truly working with Monday night. Hopefully the pass the test.

I love going to Mass. It is THE highlight of my week. I mean, there is no place else on earth where Jesus is more fully present in body, blood, soul and divinity. And as Catholics, we have an obligation to attend Mass each and every Sunday.
No matter what.
Traveling? Masstimes.org will find ya a church wherever you might be.
Soccer game? Go to the vigil Mass on Saturday.
Work at 9 on Sunday morning? 7am Mass might work well. Yes, it's early. But c'mon, JESUS.
Anyhow, I totally went off on a tangent there. The whole point of this post is to share with you the beautiful Saints the Lord gives us each week. Now that the tiny humans outweigh the adults 3-2, things can get a little tricky on Sundays. So every week as we are entering the church and dipping our fingers in holy water, I say a little prayer.
"Lord, please send someone to help. And please, please, please, fill Livvie's heart with peace and stillness."
Let's face it. Despite the fact that I love going to Mass and I love worshiping the Lord, it does not come without challenges. We have our tiny two year old tyrant who likes to screech and run. She almost makes up for it by attempting to genuflect while doing the sign of the cross. And, when she yells, "Jesus!" at the top of her lungs while pointing to the crucifix? Well, that just might be the best thing ever. She also just learned the word "Father" and at the beginning of Mass, yells and waves, "Hi, Father. Hi, hi Father," during the opening processional. Totally adorable.
But then she decides she wants out of the pew and lets everyone in the church know, at rather high decibels her displeasure at being told, "No."We try to keep her in as long as possible, but sometimes the girl needs a time out and Daddy is the lucky one to take her, leaving me with two babies and one set of hands.
Enter the Saints.
Whether it be my mom and dad, a set of Godparents, good friends, a mama with teenagers who needs some baby cuddles or a little great-grandma type that grins with a smile that could light up that whole parish when I ask if she wants to hold a baby, the Lord blesses us with an abundance of beautiful souls to help with our wild and crazy brood each Sunday, should the need arise.
So while the Lord might be attempting to give me a shot at a few years off purgatory by not granting the second part of my weekly prayer and giving me a killer workout all at once, he most certainly answers the first part of my prayer with a resounding, "YES."
