Comments about Chipmunks Alvin Child Costume:
I bought the "Alvin" costume as a surprise for my 4 year old for Trick-or-Treat this year...he absolutely loved it! I've never seen anyone around our town dressed up as Alvin before, at least not in a costume this well-made or authentic looking. Its a very well made, adoreable, fun & not to mention, warm costume for Trick-or-Treating. Because of the time of year that the holiday "falls" on, its always "tricky" finding a costume that is unique, fun, an attention grabber and most importantly, warm. Alvin covers it all. My Son & I are both very excited about Halloween this year! He can't wait to wear it & show everyone that we Trick-or-Treat with, & I can't wait to see him in it & see everyone else's reaction to it! I am very pleased with the product. For the first time in a long time I am very satisfied with my Son's Halloween costume, I usually feel like I am ripped off every year with an over-priced, cheaply made & very thin costume, but not this year, I really feel as though I got my moneys worth (which is always important these days) & I'm very satisfied with Spirit Halloween's product, pricing & propmt service!! Hope everyone else that purchased the costume is as satisfied as I, & I hope you & your child enjoy it as much as we do!! Happy Halloween everyone!! :)

The Yamaha FZR400 was always over-shadowed by the class-leading Hondas, both the CBR and V4 NC30 and NC35s, and, on track, was a little behind Kawasaki's ZXR400 for sheer speed. However, the rev-happy Yamaha FZR400RR attracted the hooligans by the bucket load, drawn to the high-revving engine, sharp handling and high corner speed. And, as it was also always considerably ...
599cc, 108bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 14
Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
248cc, 21bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 6
The Yamaha XV250S Virago is a trusty, reliable and easy to ride option on which to hone your biking skills. If you fancy a big cruiser later on, the Yamaha XV250S Virago is a great place to start: it's got the looks and appears bigger than a 250, so you won't feel left out down at the Ace. The Yamaha ...
124cc, 13bhp, 60mph, Insurance group 4
If you're starting out on two wheels then the Yamaha XV125 Virago V-twin is one of the best made little motorbikes you can choose. Reliable motor, solid chassis, nice low seat and wide `bars give a feeling of confident control on the machine. Later XVS125 models have an extra 3bhp in the V-twin motor and the bike is 4kgs lighter ...
595cc, 45bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 9
The Yamaha XT600E is about as straightforward, reliable and solid as an old school trail bike gets. The Yamaha XT600E was the last of a long line of 4-valve air-cooled Yamaha singles, starting off with the original, much-loved XT500 of the mid-70s. This is a true trailie: decent off-round and straightforward and ujn-fussy on. Don't expect any frills or motorway ...
535cc, 38bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 8
The XV535 Virago is where Yamaha started giving Harley-Davidson a run for their money: it was the first of their cruiser motorcycles and it certainly lasted well. The Yamaha XV535 is basic, trusted, easy to ride and with unchallenging but enjoyable performance. What's more this Virago is a great value for money motorcycle and perfect for newbies or laid back commuters.
892cc, 90bhp, 127mph, Insurance group 12
Introduced two years after its little 600cc brother, the bigger Yamaha XJ900S Diversion is a real, no-nonsense all-rounder. Ok, so it lacks outstanding performance or any semblance of sexiness but who cares? For bikers on a budget who ride in the real world, the Yamaha XJ900S Diversion is hard to beat. Has a long standing and respectable heritage, too.
998cc, 150bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The third and final great sports bike of the nineties. The FireBlade set the agenda, the 916 added finesse and the Yamaha YZF-R1 topped them off with extra power and madness. Even today the original Yamaha YZF-R1 is a sports tool to be reckoned with and updated Yamaha YZF-R1s are even more potent and easier to use too.
49cc, 6bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 3
The Yamaha TZR50 is an act of brilliant folly but tempting nevertheless. A screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies. Being Japanese the Yamaha TZR50 is fairly durable too, though it can't match the performance of its European rivals.
1002cc, 145bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 16
The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room ...

Following the recent passing of Hamann Motorsports founder, Richard Hamann , the company is abiding by his wishes of continuing with business as usual by releasing their first tuning package for the recently launched BMW 6-Series Convertible . This new package was just debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and comes with exterior and interior modifications, as well as a massive engine update.
Hamann dressed up the exterior of the new 6-Series with sporty-dynamic front and rear spoilers, new LED daytime running lights, new side skirts, and a set of Hamann's EDITION RACE ANODIZED and ANNIVERSARY EVO wheels available in different sizes and designs depending on the customer's request. The interior also received a transformation with components made of the finest black anodize aluminum, personalized foot mats, and pretty much anything else the customer so chooses.
The best part, though, comes as part of the engine setup. Hamann has juiced up the 6-Series' 4.4-liter V8 engine by adding a sport exhaust system with four stainless steel tail pipes, as well as an ECU upgrade to increase the total output from 400 to 510 HP. Then they added a special suspension that drops the cabriolet's center of gravity by up to 30 mm.

1984 : a novel
George Orwell
Adult Fiction ORWELL
George Orwell
Adult Fiction ORWELL
Summary: View our feature on George Orwell's 1984 . Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions--a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

These are Roger Ebert's mini-reviews (unless otherwise noted) of some of the movies currently playing in the Quad-Cities area: "Stand Up Guys" (R, 95 minutes). Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin were in the same gang, and after Pacino is released following a 28-year prison sentence, they unite for a long day and night as an implacable deadline approaches. Comedy, chase scenes, some tension and, above all, the acting of the Stand Up Guys. Rating: Three and a half stars.
"Bullet to the Head" (R, 92 minutes). Directed by the veteran Walter Hill, this ersatz buddy film is filled with cheesy stop-motion zooms, rapid-cut fight scenes with insanely loud sound effects for every bone-cracking punch, racially insensitive one-liners, window-dressing female characters and wall-to-wall carnage. It's the kind of brainless action movie Sylvester Stallone would have starred in circa 1985. That it stars a Stallone who's pushing 70 is just weird. Rating: Two stars (Richard Roeper).
"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" (R, 88 minutes). There's nothing half as clever here as the original story's moment of witch-vanquishing triumph, or as creatively alluring as the idea of a gingerbread house, or as eerily disturbing as the Grimms' undertone of wishful matricide. Instead it's the usual humans versus special effects, anatomy-splitting rim shots and lame one-liners, which baked together make for a familiarly sour confection indeed. Rating: One star-- Los Angeles Times
"Movie 43" (R, 90 minutes). As the ads for "Movie 43" promised (threatened?), you can't unsee this thing, so please: Stay away. Even if you might think that sitting through "Movie 43" would be an adventure along the lines of experiencing "Showgirls" or "Howard the Duck," you'll be filled with regret five minutes into this atrocity. There's camp-fun bad and interestingly horrible bad, and then there's just awful. "Movie 43" is the "Citizen Kane" of awful. Rating: Zero stars -- Richard Roeper
"The Last Stand" (R, 107 minutes). To call "The Last Stand" gratuitously violent is to pay the movie a compliment. It's sort of the whole point. In his first starring role since "Terminator 3" in 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger gets the job done as a sleepy border-town sheriff in hot pursuit of a notorious drug lord. Packed with high-speed chases and ear-shattering explosions, "The Last Stand" delivers a half-dozen quality kills that will leave audiences squirming and then laughing at the sheer audacity of it all. This is what Arnold does best: big-gun violence and one-liner laughs. He's still got it. Rating: 3 stars -- Richard Roeper
"Parker" (R, 118 minutes).Based on a novel in a series by Richard Stark, the alter ego of the late, great Donald E. Westlake, the film basically is a heist-and-payback movie. But it's made with such skill and smarts it stands above such eye-rolling blow-'em-up fare as Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand," its main competition at the box office. Rating: 3 stars -- Miami Herald
"Les Miserables" (PG-13, 158 minutes). The people who put "Les Misérables" on screen dreamed a mighty dream, they really did. They dreamed of filming one of the most popular of modern theatrical musicals — 60 million tickets sold in 42 countries and 21 languages since its 1980 Paris debut — in a way that had not been done before, enhancing the emotion of what already was a hugely emotional piece. And, despite some built-in obstacles, they succeeded to a surprising extent. Rating: 3 stars -- Los Angeles Times
"Mama" (PG-13, 100 minutes). To the credit of director Andy Muschietti, his co-writing team and a first-rate cast, "Mama" succeeds in scaring the wits out of us and leaving some lingering, deeply creepy images, despite indulging in many horror-film cliches. Movies like "Mama" are thrill rides. We go to be scared and then laugh, scared and then laugh, scared and then shocked. And of course, there's almost always a little plot left over for a sequel. It's a ride horror fans would take again. Rating: 3 stars -- Richard Roeper
"Zero Dark Thirty" (R, 157 minutes). Two hours of watching a loner female CIA strategist who knows she is right -- and the payoff that she is. Jessica Chastain stars as Maya, who was right all along, providing the film with a timely heroine. Lots of murky action in the big capture and death, but lacking the split-second timing and relentless action of director Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker." These characters are less compelling, and the outcome less meaningful. Rating: 3 stars
"Broken City" (R, 109 minutes). From a lurid and predictable plot, "Broken City" is the sworn enemy of subtle. It's a big, juicy, sometimes clunky, political crime thriller that plays like a 21st-century B-movie. It's also pretty trashy and sometimes stupid. But there's never a moment when you won't be entertained on one level or another. Thanks to a great cast -- Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg and terrific supporting players Barry Pepper, Kyle Chandler, Jeffrey Wright and Griffin Dunne -- you'll have a good time even when the script is breaking bad. Rating: 3 stars -- Richard Roeper
"Gangster Squad" (R, 113 minutes).Even though the saga of L.A. corruption has been the fodder for transcendent fiction for generations, there's still a great movie to be made from such colorful source material. But the biggest crime in "Gangster Squad" is that it doesn't even come close. Rating: 2 stars -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Promised Land" (R, 106 minutes).The drama can be funny and romantic and occasionally moving. It has a bigger message about fracking and the environment, and big companies and small towns, and while Promised Land is not a great film, such ambition is not its intention. It's a drama designed to make you think, and perhaps re-evaluate, without being too preachy. Rating: 3 stars -- Toledo Blade
Django Unchained" (R, 165 minutes). Is Quentin Tarantino's pre-Civil War spaghetti Western "Django Unchained" about race and power and the ugly side of history? Only as much as "Inglourious Basterds" was about race and power and the ugly side of history. It's a live-action, heads-exploding, shoot-'em-up cartoon. Sometimes it crackles, and sometimes it merely cracks. Rating; 2 1/2 stars -- Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey" (PG-13, 166 minutes). Not the worst film of the year, but "The Hobbit" may be the most disappointing. Given the scope and grandeur of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" epics, we enter the theater justifiably expecting his new Tolkien adventure to thrill our socks off. Instead, you endure this monstrously overproduced misfire with the numb apathy of a prisoner slowly throwing a ball against a cell wall.It's a husk with the superficial features of a "Rings" movie but none of the energy and heart and wit — an unexpected journey, indeed. Rating: 1 1/2 stars --MCT "Lincoln" (PG-13, 149 minutes). Steven Spielberg's film focuses on only a few months of Lincoln's life, including the passage of the 13th Amendment ending slavery, the surrender of the Confederacy and his assassination. Rarely has a film attended more carefully to the details of politics. Daniel Day-Lewis creates a Lincoln who is calmly self-confident, patient and willing to play politics in a realistic way. Not about an icon of history, but about a president who was scorned by some of his opponents as a hayseed from the backwoods. He understood them better than they did him. Rating: 4 stars
"Silver Linings Playbook" (R, 122 minutes). This is how smart Jennifer Lawrence is at her job: She realizes that the troubled young woman she plays in "Silver Linings Playbook" is a great role. It's a supporting role in the novel upon which the movie is based.Her plan? To so fiercely bring this character to life that the filmmaker is forced to make the part larger and put her front and center. Thankfully, writer-director David O. Russell is smart enough to know that more Lawrence makes any movie better.The move may result in her winning an Academy Award for best actress in a leading role, and the movie is not even about her character. Rating: 3 stars. -- Michael Smith, Tulsa World

And The Supima Design Award Goes To…
Last week, we previewed some sketches from the six finalists for the third annual Supima Design Competition—Nadia Ivanova, Robin Tomas, Michael Venker, Gina DeSilva, Heber Sanchez, and lookalike sister duo Sachika's To-Tam and To-Nya Ton-Nu—and last night, the finalists competed for their reward. "I've never made men's pants before, and I wanted them to go with the men's tee. So I stole a pair of skinny jeans from my husband and cut them up," DeSilva confessed backstage. "Shhh, he still doesn't know I have them!" Each contestant was assigned to create three pieces of eveningwear and one men's tee, all crafted from Supima cotton. A judging panel including Bloomingdale's associate fashion director Chris Frye and New York Times fashion director Horacio Silva would crown one gown and one shirt the winners, the tee to be produced and distributed by Bloomie's.
Come catwalk time, there were several asymmetrical floor-length dresses, including a draped one-sleeve black jersey number by Robin Tomas. Heber Sanchez opted for full drama, sending a crowd-clearing ball gown of blue and white striped men's shirting down the runway. Ballots tallied, Tomas ended up taking home the men's tee prize for his triple-layer jersey design in black, gray, and white, but the stunner (and closer) of the evening belonged to DeSilva. Coco Rocha—who's been taking tips from designer Zac Posen on her own upcoming line slated for this fall—presented the designer with the Best in Show award for a romantic one-shoulder, trumpet-skirt gown with peplum waist crafted in a surprising fine-wale gray corduroy that had a twang of Nina Ricci circa Olivier Theyskens (pictured). As for those swiped skinny jeans, we'd say the big win just might get DeSilva off the hook.

Sandy • Depending on the position they play, it has been estimated that soccer players run anywhere between three and six miles a game.
Yet there's more than running involved in playing a physical 90-minute game, which makes off-the-field commitment to preparation and regeneration even more important during the long Major League Soccer season.
RSL vs. D.C. UnitedSaturday, 7 p.m.
Rio Tinto Stadium
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
With CONCACAF Champions League and, for a handful of players, international duty, preparation becomes even more important.
"That comes down to the very core of how professional you are," RSL coach Jason Kreis said. "People speak about what it means to be professional. For me it means thinking about what you're doing all the time, not just on the training field or on the game field, but to be thinking about what you are doing all the hours away from soccer."
This week, RSL can enjoy a normal schedule between its 0-0 draw at Philadelphia last Friday and its 7 p.m. game Saturday against D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium.
The Philadelphia match was the last of three games within a seven-day period.
"Everybody has some kicks and bumps and bruises; that's just the time of year it is," said RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman, also becoming a staple on the U.S. National Team. "You just try and do the right thing. You try and eat right. Try the cold tub and all that good stuff."
The ice bath, that terribly numbing 41-degree pleasure soak, has an positive effect on healing tissue as well as tendons and fast-twitch muscles.
It's just those first moments of shock.
"The worst is the beginning," Beckerman said of the soak. "But sometimes on hot days it's not too bad. The first couple minutes are pretty tough."
Recovery is a gradual process, one designed to lighten heavy legs. The process is a bit more difficult on a shortened schedule, the Wednesday-to-Saturday schedule.
"It definitely helps when you have a home game so you don't have to travel," said RSL midfielder and Canadian international Will Johnson. "When you start traveling to Panama a couple times a month, Costa Rica, it starts to add up. You don't refresh as quickly, but I guess that's what the offseason is for."
Being a pro also includes a spartan diet, which might be nearly as difficult.
No fast food. No pizza.
"Nothing fun," Johnson said.
It's all in the details.
"It's not an easy thing to do to make sacrifices and commitments off the field about what you put in your body all the time," Kreis said.

In August, 1930, nearly 100,000 people gathered in St. Hubert, Quebec to see the R-100 dirigible, fresh from its maiden cross-Atlantic voyage. Many are hysterical with excitement.

The R-100 Airship
Listen to the story
Watch the accessible video version (with closed captions and audio-description)
Why would thousands of people, in a small Quebec town, climb metal stairs 200 feet straight up into the air?
It's August 1st, 1930. The largest metallic object ever to fly over Canada has landed.
Close to 100,000 people gather at Canada's first international airport at St. Hubert, Quebec to see the alien ship. Many are hysterical with excitement. Local companies advertise everything from Life Insurance to cigarettes to beer.
A song pokes fun at the crowd's fascination with the cylindrical monster attached to its mooring mast.
Chosen souls climb high into the air on a narrow, metal stairway to enter the magnificent R100 British airship nick-named the Titanic of the Skies.
This modern answer to transatlantic crossings, which Canada has invested so much in, is doomed after its sister ship, the R101, explodes in a giant fireball. A little more than a year after its historic flight to Canada, the R100 and its mooring mast are scrapped.

One Response to The R-100 Airship
This is from our May, 2006 newsletter:
On January 9 a request for pictorial cancellations arrived by mail at Toronto's First Post Office. That this had first been opened and then forwarded by Station R seemed odd, but the postmistress had inked cancel in hand when she noticed a small scrap of paper peeking out of the torn envelope from Germany. On it was the image of a seemingly regulation Canada Post pictorial cancel, but not our own. Clearly what was asked for was this other cancel, ascribed to Station R. Why then had this been sent to us? Perhaps because the year-end had passed and Werner Hildebrand's letter, postmarked December 28, had arrived too late.
Sensing an injustice, we rang Station R only to be informed that they had never had a pictorial cancel and only used "date stamps." The facts just didn't add up. The depicted cancel plainly said "R" on it, but 1903 to 2005 does not make 100. And why the 75th Anniversary? Why the King-Kong-sized blimp and the skyscraper? This was a job, we thought, for Peter Butler, President of the Greater Toronto Area Philatelic Alliance and the man who had helped us obtain our own pictorial cancel. But Peter was as mystified by it as we were. Undaunted, he took the image up to Station R in person, only to meet with the same response as we had: they had never laid eyes on it, hadn't ordered it and didn't even know such a thing was possible.
One thing they did know: they had been receiving requests for cancellations since last summer and, for lack of a better idea, had been forwarding them all to Station K. Just before Christmas, one of the clerks remembered, she had been busy and had delegated a colleague to send some of them "downtown." This was how Mr. Hildebrand's picture of the cancel had ended up at TFPO and in the hands of our two intrepid sleuths, one of whom – now Inspector Butler – set off for Canada Post headquarters in Ottawa to get to the bottom of things.
Meanwhile on January 13 when regular customer Mike Piette arrived at the post office the story was shared with him. Not having the image of the mysterious cancel at hand, the postmistress sketched it out over an imprint of our own as best she could and, as the thing took shape, a light dawned in Mike's eyes. "Why, that's the R100," he said without missing a beat. "The British airship. It flew over Toronto in 1930. It was a very big deal." So there it was; both the image and the 75th Anniversary were explained. Obviously the "1903" was a mistake and one that might have led to the cancel never having been released. Barely able to contain her excitement, the postmistress rang Peter Butler and left a long, incoherent message about British dirigibles. Two questions yet remained: who had ordered the cancel if not Station R, and where had our German friend seen it?
On March 7, at the funeral of their mutual friend, Peter Butler ran into Dick Malott who gave him a few possible leads, from the ranks of Canadian aerophilatelists, towards answering the first question. In the end our man turned out to be Barry Countryman, a resident of Leaside (he lives just around the corner from Station R) and the author of The R100 in Canada. Mr. Countryman had not only commissioned the cancel, he had ordered picture postage and had printed a number of postcards bearing the image of the airship docked at St. Hubert. He had never received the cancel – it had been destroyed when the error was discovered and a promised replacement never produced. As for the second question, at some point the cancel must have appeared on the Canada Post website as that is where Mr. Hildebrand told us (by e-mail) he had seen it. Evidently, others had too.
Last August, as the 75th Anniversary of the R100 flight loomed, Mr. Countryman was faced with the dilemma of what to do with his postcards. The intended cancel had meant to show the airship flying above the 1929 Bank of Commerce building at 25 King Street West, then the tallest building in the British Commonwealth but still shorter, by 218 feet, than the R100. He therefore decided to get his cards serviced at the postal outlet in Commerce Court, the PATH-system mall underneath the bank building. The unflappable Mr. Countryman was gracious enough to see the error in this fall-back cancel – it reads COMMERCT COURT – as "charming."

A Whirlpool Washtub For Tiny Tots
A recent product design show in Germany has revealed this new luxury bath for the babies of the world that are in need of a whirlpool for their tender skin. It has lights, bubbles, jets, the works — that way your children can shower better than you do!
Although we want our children to enjoy their bath time experience, we also don't want items in our home that seem outlandish or can't be used again down the road. Although there is something to be said for specific items to get specific tasks done, this disco infused bath tub doesn't seem to be it — even if it would make one heck of a pedicure station once they've outgrown it.
The tub was created by OKBaby and was recently released in Germany at the Kind & Jugend 2010 Product show. We appreciate the sentiment and the need to want the best for your children, but this seems, well.... you tell us. Leave your comments below!

The surest way to get my kids out of the tub is even mention turning on the jets. Not sure this is a good idea in the least. And have you ever seen a jetted tub after putting some bubble bath in? Yikes!
Still, an adult sized tub like this one would be just the thing for me!
I wouldn't want my kids to be more spoiled than me! :)
absurd. beautiful, but absurd.
Yay! I always wanted a fancier tub for my baby to occasionally poop in.
I love this! I don't think I would ever actually buy it, even if I had the extra cash just lying around...but I still love this! It put a smile on my face, even though it is definitely absurd. And I laughed a little at the thought of bubble bath.
But...are there seriously little ones who *need* a jetted tub? Like maybe for a medical condition? Just curious...
Agree, absurd. An adult version would be cool. I like the shape.

In this April 21, 2012, photo, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o appears at the Blue and Gold spring NCAA college football game in South Bend, Ind. A story that Te'o's girlfriend had died of leukemia — a loss he said inspired him to help lead the Irish to the BCS championship game — was dismissed by the university Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, as a hoax perpetrated against the linebacker.
The University of Notre Dame student body was abuzz.
"… girlfriend …"
"… grandma …"
"… what's his agenda? …"
Students read Deadspin's story to friends from phones. They lingered in front of the student center televisions, where incredulous commentators debated the timeline of events.
Everyone wanted to know one thing:
"Is it true?" asked Serena Mathews, a senior chemical engineering major.
When news broke Wednesday that star Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's inspirational girlfriend story was a hoax, students were shocked.
"If you had told me yesterday that within 24 hours dramatic news about Notre Dame would break, I would never in a million years have guessed it would be this," said Alex Herrmann, a sophomore English and economics major.
What students called a "strange" and "surreal" situation left many with lingering questions about Te'o's culpability.
"We have to ask the question, 'Is Manti the guy we thought he was?'" Jeanette Kim, a sophomore accounting and romance languages major, asked.
But Mathews said she thought there were too many holes in the timeline for it to be true.
"My gut reaction? That this is not true," Mathews said. "I mean, there were pictures on the Internet for three months and no one said, 'That's me!'? I also don't understand how it was known that it was a Stanford student and no one said, 'I wonder who this girl is?' If it was someone at Notre Dame we would all have heard about her death."
While some remained doubtful that Te'o was involved in the hoax, others — including sophomore film, television and theater major Nick Desmone — were quicker to place blame.
"In light of the Lance Armstrong thing, this week is, well, just about these celebrities being not who we thought they were," Desmone said. "No matter whether or not he's innocent, Manti Te'o must have had some role. For him to not have any responsibility in it is pushing my faith, I think."
The university's athletic director, Jack Swarbrick, held a press conference Wednesday evening.
Mathews said she was frustrated that the university knew about the hoax since Dec. 26 but chose to play defense anyway.
She drew parallels to the alleged sexual misconduct by a Notre Dame football player that triggered a public relations scramble just two years ago.
"Notre Dame has not done a very good job being transparent or upholding the higher moral ground we act like we're on," Mathews said.
There is speculation that Te'o will hold his own press conference later today, based on comments by Swarbrick last night. Many students said they are looking forward to hearing Te'o's side of the story, beyond the statement released by CAA last night in which Te'o said he was a "victim" of a "sick joke."
"I want our questions answered. We just want to know the truth. It would be so insulting if this was true after all we did for him and his family this season," Kim said.
Chris Palmquist, a senior film, television and theater major, echoed Kim's sentiments and said he hopes everything will add up.
"It would be a terrible situation if the Notre Dame family became the victim in this story," he said.
Despite what Te'o might say, the judgment facing Notre Dame on social media is harsh, from tweets about its weak showing in the BCS National Championship to its handling of the situation from a PR perspective. Herrmann said that people will believe what they want, whether they have the full story or not.
"We're all kind of worried that it tarnishes the name of the school and gives people another reason to talk bad about us," he said.

Widespread snow kicks off our Monday morning across the Inland Northwest, specifically NE Washington and the Idaho Panhandle. All of our scattered snow continues to moves east across our forecast area into Idaho as we roll through the day.
Our heaviest snowfall should continue in the morning hours, but as we warm up into the mid 30s, our snow should turn to rain showers into the afternoon.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for most of eastern Washington, especially north of I-90, and NE Washington, and the North Idaho Panhandle until 4pm. Snow accumulation: 2-4" in the valleys, 3-5" in the mountains.

DAY 1, Saturday, October 27, Budapest - Tokaj - Satu Mare Welcome to your Dracula Tour, a Halloween in Transylvania with Vlad the Impaler! Our English speaking guide picks you up from Budapest Airport and prepares you for your travel to Transylvania. Stop for a glass of excellent wine in Tokaj, Hungary. It was the Tokaj wine that Dracula used to serve his guests with! For a little Dutch-courage and, for sure, with higher spirits you'll reach Romania and stop in Satu Mare for accommodation in a 3* hotel. Along with a welcome dinner, you'll receive your talisman: a cross carved by a famous popular craftsman to keep your body safe and your spirit alive, as well as a survival certificate (which you'll have stamped as you progress through the itinerary) to recognize your courage!
DAY 2, Sunday, October 28, Satu Mare - Sapinta - Sighetul Marmatiei - IeudYour first morning in Romania! Drive to Sapanta, close to the Ukrainian border, home of the merriest cemetery in the world! Unique in the world: the Merry Cemetery owes its name to the wood-carved memorial crosses, not only decorated in vivid colors depicting the deceased in a cartoon like manner, the epitaphs candidly recite biographies of the deceased using limerick-style poetry.Next stop is Sighetul Marmatiei where a famous ethnographer, will take you into the magical world of Romanian folklore on your visit to the Village Museum. You'll spend the evening in a country-inn in Ieud, a welcoming 'peasant house' where you can enjoy a Maramuresean home cooked meal. Try on the traditional Maramuresean clothing and enjoy a carriage ride by torch light up to the village church; delight yourself with stories of the haunted places of that area to better catch the spirit of this Halloween tour!
DAY 3, Monday, October 29, Ieud - Rozavlea - Sacel - BistritaThis morning you'll see the villagers leaving the church after attending the Holly Mass, witnessing a genuine show of traditional folk dress. In Sacel you'll make a truly necessary friend: Grigore Tulean, a famous woodcraftsman. He'll teach us how to make the perfect wooden stake which, in Turda, will be used in order to kill a vampire! Travel to Bistrita next and step into Jonathan Harker's shoes. TIP: Dare to step back in time! Enjoy your lunch in the Jonathan Harker Saloon, a reference point for the Halloween tour, and feast yourself with the same menu as he did before meeting the Bloody Count Dracula of Transylvania. Isn't this menu great for a Halloween wedding idea? You'll then find the answer to a question I'm sure is eating you up inside: Does Dracula have descendants? Meet Misiuga, the Baron of Dracula who looks remarkably young for an 84 year old, and be welcomed into his windswept tower; you'll see an interesting puppet exhibition, receive a garlic wreath and a piece of good advice from the baron himself: to stay away from Dracula's Castle in Borgo Pass! Of course we won't listen and we'll head straight for the castle. It could be a perfect Halloween party idea. We'll stay in Dracula's Castle, a 3* hotel which was built in accordance to Bram Stokers imagination. After visiting Dracula's coffin we'll run out the castle, not admitting we're afraid and saying, "we're going shopping for souvenirs." A candle lit dinner at the castle is followed by a fire camp near by with all the right stories for a night to remember.
DAY 4, Tuesday, October 30, Bistrita - Cluj Napoca - Turda Aren't you happy to see the light of the day again? Morning ride to Cluj, admire here the impressive Saint Michael's Cathedral. Optional: How about a genuine Dracula tattoo? It's hard to believe, but here in the heart of Transylvania you can find the best Turkish kebab, that we strongly recommend for your lunch, in spite of the irony – a Turkish specialty in Vlad Dracul's country, given the fact that he was the worst enemy the Turks could have had. From Cluj we drive to Turda, the place where you'll put your existence to the test! Here you'll descend into the heart of one of the biggest salt mines in the country – Turda Salt Mines. The Mine ends in a narrow tunnel at the end of which a mirror is placed. Should you see your reflection in the mirror, you will know you still have a soul to worry about! Delight yourself with a vampire menu for dinner, a delicious reason to travel to Transylvania! Still, an evening to fear, you'll attend the killing of a vampire; you'll be part of the crowd seeking to take the bloody creature to a special place where the ritual can begin! Module: Enjoy a Magic Show, - performing the talented Transylvanian illusionist - Belloni, Maestro Belloni!
DAY 5, Wednesday, October 31, Turda - Medias - Biertan - SighisoaraThe culminating point of your adventure in Transylvania! In Medias, become acquainted with a unique artist, the only one in the world who uses spider webs for his paintings. As you probably know, spiders are creatures happily tolerated by the count, so you'll have further proof of how they are not merely reminiscent of delights past. The next stop of your Romania travel is Biertan, visit the impressive fortified church and shop at Madam Monica Cosma's for souvenirs which offer a superlative selection of Romanian handicrafts. Drive to Sighisoara, the best preserved and still inhabited medieval citadel in Europe and a UNESCO heritage site, but probably most important for you it is Vlad Dracula's birth place! TIP: For your lunch we recommend 'Vlad Dracul's House', the very place where Dracula was born, turned today into an exquisite restaurant wherein you can find frescoes dating back to the 14th century. It's time for your Halloween party, put on your costume and get into the mood, this is the reason for your travel to Transylvania. Plenty of opportunities for you tonight: buy After-life Insurance, attend a witch trial, the Count's Fortune-teller will be at your disposal, witness the apparition of Vlad Tepes performed by a witch and listen to your guide's good advice, and you might just escape without being impaled! The best Halloween party idea, don't you think? If you survive, you'll find refuge in a 3* hotel.
DAY 6, Thursday, November 1, Sighisoara - Poiana Brasov Getting up in the morning after a party is always a hard thing to do! But the program for your travel in Romania today is worth the effort. November 1st is in fact the Romanian Halloween, so here comes round two! Drive to the medieval Saxon city of Brasov to visit the historic town centre and its famous gothic Black Church, the best-known monument in the city. It was here, in the city of Brasov where Vlad led raids against the Saxon merchants. In this context you can only expect a medieval dinner. Afterwards your Romania travel takes you in the vicinity of a cemetery to witness how some Romanians commemorate their lost ones on "Luminatie".
DAY 7, Friday, November 2, Poiana Brasov - Sibiu You'll travel today to Sinaia, the pearl of mountain resorts in Romania; visit Peles Castle, one of the most beautiful royal residences in Europe. The custodians report a strange smell of violets whenever the ghost of the Queen Maria (the niece of Queen Victoria of Great Britain) returns to her beloved play-ground. If you think you can't see stranger things than what you've already seen, you are wrong! Today you're introduced to the famous Bran Castle in Transylvania. The castle owes its fame to its unique charm, its history and to the myth Bram Stoker created around Dracula. Not far from here is the Horror Castle, a special treat dedicated for the strong-hearted! For a walk on the famous Bridge of Liars you'll travel to Sibiu, a city with a wonderful medieval charm, excellent views of the surrounding landscape and great food. Accommodate in a 3* hotel. Enjoy a traditional dinner in one of the oldest restaurants in Sibiu, The European Cultural Capital in 2007 .
DAY 8, Saturday, November 3, Sibiu - Deva - Hunedoara - AradToday you're invited to pay a visit to another legendary castle in Transylvania, Corvinesti Castle. In the morning visit Sibiu - if you have some courage to spare you'll cross the Bridge of liars and make a confession. Shall you utter any lie, the bridge will collapse! Drive to Hunedoara where the legendary Corvinesti Castle is waiting for your visit. The greatest Gothic style castle in Romania, Corvinesti was built in the 14th Century, and it was here that Vlad the Impaler, Dracula was brought up. TIP: For your lunch we recommend you choose Corviniana restaurant in Hunedoara, with a house specialty: absolutely delicious grilled "Corviniana schnitzel" with cheese sauce. Spend the evening in Arad, accommodation in a 4* hotel.
DAY 9, Sunday, November 4, Arad - Szeged - BudapestThe last day of your Halloween tour. Please allow your self an extra 5 minutes in bed to think about your adventure in Dracula's kingdom, wasn't it soul captivating? Travel to Budapest, Hungary's capital. On the way stop to Szeged also called Sun City, enjoy a city tour. For lunch we recommend an excellent restaurant "Halaszcsarda" (Fisherman's Tavern) for the fine fish specialties you can try here. Accommodate in 3* hotel in Budapest, central located. During your farewell dinner your survivors' certificate will be handed over.
DAY 10, Monday, November 5,It's time to take your soul back home ... hopefully!

I got shot down so much over my opinions. Some people just never even stopped to think about where I was coming from, they just saw me say the words 'black' and though RACIST! I dont think I said black at a start but you get what I mean. I put the colour out there.... I thought thats the whole point of racisiam though, the colour of peoples skin.... I dont know.
What I have said is that no, Im not racist, I like everyone as much as the next. I had said that the 'abos' (said that way because I hate having to write aboriganies, I dont even think thats how you spell it but Im not being offensive to use an obriviation...Some thought otherwise) The abo's I knew from a country town were living like this:
- Urinating out the front of the local super market (they could just as easy go inside to the toilets)
- Pooing on the side of the road, or the same building (its the main building)
- Lieing around drunk out side the shops shouting abuse out to people passing by
- Trashing the houses given to them by the govenment
- Not caring for their children - My fathers neighbour children come to them for food as the parents are either drunk and dont care or been thrown in jail and the family isnt interested.
- Waste the money given to them on grog and cant afford food for the family, again so the children are been looked after by my father and step mum.
- The beat each other up out the front of their houses with logs and whatever else. Throw beer bottles around etc
- I knew a guy who wanted to save some money for his wife and him to have a good life. He was beaten and picked on and caleld "coconut boy" He was an abo and purely the fact that he was working and wanted to, they spat on him for it.
Now, all this I know for a fact. I have been there and seen it happening. I also know for a fact that alot of the locals have been handed decent jobs and they threw it back in the business face. They had been given cars for transport and trashed them. My father makes a fair bit of money off his neighbours because they trashed their only working car. So they pay my dad to drive them places.
Now even after I said that, one of the ladies arguing with me more or less completely ignored that post and told me I was uneducated and ignorant. This one one of her posts after my comment.
None of the Indigenous people I know have ever been given a car or a house.Some Indigenous people in remote areas were provided with public housing, due to lack of housing, just as we have public housing in the city.Many Indigenous people had no where to live because up untill the early eighties their land was taken and they were forced onto reserves, reserves are mostly put onto the worst land around that no one wants.This lead to many homeless Indigenous people.The biggest problem was Aboriginal people were given cultuarly unacceptable housing, and many had never even lived in ahouse before.Your lack of understaing on the issues is evident.
Now I tell her that Im not saying she is wrong in what she is saying, however I tell her that she obviously hasnt seen what I have. For all I know she is talking about the 'native' Australian on the other side of the country. Funny enough, the ones in a place like Perth and the ones that live in the country up north are COMPLETELY different! No better or worse, just different.
She seems to be talking about back in the 80s or something. However Im talking about now. Im by no means talking about when white people invaded and all that. Im talking about NOW when all the govenment has been doing is providing the best posible help for them. Up north they got given the same health care, the same job ops, the same chances. Its not anyone elses fault but their ownt they choose not to take them.
One women started talking about herself, saying she is a 'wog' her words not mine. SO I asked would she be offended if someone called her a wog. She said YES! I mean, it seems to me its ok for her to call herself one, but for anyone else. I have a african friend, we joke about all the time about our differences. We say its ok she has a big bum and no boobs because shes black and I get the boobs and no bum because Im white. She by no means gets offended by it.
So they call me racist. I try to say Im not. I say I never said I have a problem with them as a whole, the individuals have flaws, every race have their problems. IE, even white people can act that way. I would just as easy say that they are acting unacceptable. Just because though, I said it against someone not of my colour, its considered racisiam. So after I said we all have our flaws, she says "No, individuals dont have flaws" Now with that comment alone I was like...Umm so everyone is perfect. The druggies, the murders, the theifs... They are all perfect?
I think she just wanted to argue with me. I dont see colour when I say something about certain people. I dont like that some chinese groups skin animals alive, doesnt mean Im racist again the chinese because I said that! I was told Im generlizing and thats what makes me racist... So if I say that every Irish person I have met is a drunk (not that there is anythign wrong wtih it) Im being racist against the irish because I said the ones I have met??
Ok I better stop...Its getting me worked up again. This crap has kept me up at night thinking about it all.

text: I do not want to spend too much time beating a dead war-horse, but your average D&D game consists of a group of white players acting out how their white characters encounter and destroy orcs and goblins, who are, as a race evil, uncivilized, and dark-skinned. To quote Steve Sumner's essay again, "Unless played very carefully, Dungeons & Dragons could easily become a proxy race war, with your group filling the shoes of the noble white power crusaders seeking to extinguish any orc war bands or goblin villages they happened across." I would argue with Sumner's use of the phrase "could become," and say that unless played very carefully, D&D usually becomes a proxy race war. Any adventurer knows that if you see an orc, you kill it. You don't talk to it, you don't ask what it's doing there - you kill it, since it's life is worth less than the treasure it carries and the experience points you'll get from the kill. If filmed, your average D&D campaign would look something like Birth of a Nation set in Greyhawk.- Race in Dungeons & Dragons by Chris van Dyke, a powerpoint talk given at Nerd Nite. Via Ta-Nehisi Coates' blog where there's a smart discussion going on about the essay.

I love Atlas Squire! Atlas Diggory, Atlas Hewitt, or Atlas Henley would be great, as well. I wouldn't choose Henry, because it feels so 'mainstream' next to your other kids' middles. I would keep that surname/English-feel theme going - it's great!
For Ottoline I like:
Ottoline Catesby
Ottoline O'Dare
Ottoline Millay (the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay is great!)
Ottoline Roxby
Ottoline Eveleigh (this is an English surname, I believe)
Ottoline Penny
Ottoline English/Inglish
Ottoline Clover (cute because it would be your fourth child...four-leaf Clover)
Ottoline Temple
Ottoline Wynston
Ottoline Ashby

Wow, fantastic suggestions, I particularly like:
Ottoline Claire, Ottoline Ruthie (Ruth sounds too blunt with our ln), Ottoline Primrose, Ottoline True, Ottoline Prudence, Ottoline Millay, Ottoline Clover.
Atlas Teague, Atlas Henry, Atlas Lincoln, Atlas Frederick, Atlas Maxwell, Atlas Merlin, Atlas Squire, Atlas Diggory (LOVE), Atlas Henley.
I will have to run these past dh when he gets home tonight!Cate
