My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I have four days to finish getting ready for my party this year (hence the sporadic blog posts lately). Every free moment is being dedicated to decorating.
I just finished carving this craft pumpkin or Funkin. I've never bought one before because a large one will run you close to $20 at the craft store. I found this one in a second hand store for $1.50.
Carving was a little tougher than I thought it would be. If you try to carve one, be sure to use a sharp knife and please be careful. They are great because you can reuse them, they won't go mouldy, and you can put them anywhere.
Ok. That's all the time I have. I must get back to decorating. Speaking of which, if you're interested in seeing how the house is coming along, take a peek at Halloween 2008 in the Art Ghoullery. I'll be updating the album as I get each room finished. Right now, you'll find images of the kitchen.
Before you attend the Toronto Zombie Walk on Sunday, take a stroll over to 6 Noble St (Dufferin and Queen) for the Bazaar of the Bizarre.
The Royal Sarcophagus Society has gathered all the local artistic ghouls and gals to participate in a sinister shopping experience.
Our first Halloween & Holiday Marketplace! Over 40 artists, clothing designers, craft-folk, publishers and other independent makers of all things exotic and macabre will assemble for this eccentric emporium of curious crafts.
Today I've been playing with the stove I snatched off the street. I need to finish the gift shop area, the party room and the kitchen this weekend so the rest of the week can be focused on the game room.
I thought I would share a quick glimpse of the oven with you. To create the illusion of fire, I have a simple LED rope light in the bottom of the oven. I put a metal cooling rack on top of that (even though the lights are LEDs, I still would rather not have the other material touching it), and piled wood and bones on top of that. Stay tuned for more!
Have you missed me, my little monsters? Things have been busy, so I'm sorry if you've been neglected.
Tomorrow marks the start of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. I don't have time to ramble on in my usual rotten way, so I'll just quote the source:
8 Nights of New Horror, Sci-Fi, Action and Cult Movies! And we just can't wait to share with you some of the most amazing movies we've discovered over the last year!
Starting from tomorrow, Friday, Oct 17 to next Friday, Oct 24, we are at the Bloor Cinema, 506 Bloor St. W, Toronto screening 16 thrilling new feature film premieres and a host of kick-ass short films.
Check out their website for more details.
I was enjoying a coffee this morning on my porch when I looked across the street and spotted this stove staring back at me.
Kitchen prop, the Halloween voice quickly whispered.
Everyone passing by, on foot or by car, was turning to look at the stove. I knew it wouldn't be there for long, so I quickly got dressed and went for a closer look.
My neighbour, who has lived in the house since the 60's, said the stove is left over from the previous owner who must have purchased it somewhere closer to 1940. It's been in their basement ever since and they decided it was time to finally get rid of it.
With the help of Yetch, the two of us carried it back to our property and into the back yard to be cleaned. First, I attacked it with the air compressor, just to knock out as much of the dust and grime as I could before taking the pressure washer to it.
Shhhhh. Mr. Flopsy's sleeping. It appears the children were just too much for him at the last birthday party booked at Clive E. Cleaver's (everyone's favourite restaur-haunt).
For this year's theme, I thought it would be creepy to juxtapose a cute pink bunny mascot costume with a crusty corpse head. The result: Mr. Flopsy. He'll be sitting in the corner of the birthday room for the party (right underneath the Birthday Poster I made).
He's a pretty simple prop. His body is stuffed coveralls with a pink sheet as the costume. His head is wire, styrofoam and cardboard. His skull is paper mache and paperclay.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
With the help of some wood glue, clamps, hockey tape, paint, and loads of patience, I was able to reconstruct the broken tree I got from the company which shall not be named (I think the Oriental Trading company is officially banished from my Halloween kingdom at this point).
As you can see, I've started decorating it with large spiders, skeletons, a few lights and garland. The reason for the post, however, is not to parade around photos of my Frankenstein tree, brought back to life. It's to tell you about the quick and simple Halloween Ornament How-To now available in my monster workshop.
All you really need is some clay (I used cheap Crayola paperclay), some cookie cutters, some ribbon and some paint to make yourself Halloween shapes for trees, wreaths, doorways or windows. This is a good one to do with the kids.
Below are more images of the tree so far. Enjoy!
Quick post today as I am still under the weather. I wanted to get the last of the Nuit Blanche pictures up before I proceed with blogging about Halloween-centred content once more.
We made a stop to see Meeky, the world's strangest little boy. The line up was an hour long to get into the back of cube van made up like a circus sideshow. Yetch, another friend and myself decided to pass on this and while the rest of the group waited in line. While we had some warm grub and alcohol to warm us up, our other friends faced the crowd to get a peek inside the Meeky exhibit. Apparently, it wasn't worth the wait.
Imagine, fellow ghoulies, your favourite scenes from masters of horror surrounding you in a dark tunnel, playing larger than life beside each other, moving so fast you hardly have time to name the movie title. Brilliant.
Deep below Union Station (our main train station here in Toronto, where all the subways, buses and trains meet), in an underpass was Horroridor: 20 foot screens with projected film clips of famous scenes from horror (and some non-horror) movies. The thing they had in common? Screaming.
Excuse the quiet website. We ended up staying out from 7 pm until sometime past 5 am for Nuit Blanche. I was worn out enough to allow a cold lurking just below the surface to finally strike. I've been saving my energy for getting the house ready for Halloween.
Our first stop was to Playdead Cult (website currently under construction) at 1233 Queen St West. You have to love a place that has a hearse out front waiting to greet you. Normally, you can find everything from hand painted guitars to t-shirts here, but on this night it was all about celebrating Dia de los Muertos.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

This article from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) provides an ONS interpretation of regional and local differences in the rates of individual insolvencies in England and Wales from 2001 to 2011. It highlights the trends which have taken place since 2001 and identifies some of the possible reasons for these trends.
This article from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) provides an ONS interpretation of regional and local differences in the rates of individual insolvencies1 in England and Wales from 2001 to 2011. Statistics on individual insolvency used in this article are supplied to the ONS Neighbourhood Statistics service (NeSS) by The Insolvency Service2. Statistics on individual insolvency can also be obtained from the regional statistics section of The Insolvency Service's website.
The analysis and interpretation contained within this article has been carried out by ONS on data obtained from The Insolvency Service and contains no analysis or interpretation by The Insolvency Service itself. The analyses and data may be of interest to people who need to comprehend, establish and evaluate regional and local economic policy.
Individual insolvencies are categorised as Bankruptcy Orders, Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) and, from 2009, Debt Relief Orders (DROs). Definitions for these types of insolvency are outlined in Annex 1.
For more information on The Insolvency Service, please see The Insolvency Service's About Us webpage.
Changes to bankruptcy law (the Enterprise Act 2002) came into force in England and Wales in 2004. These changes mean that bankruptcy could last for a minimum term of one year, rather than the two or three years required previously. However, those who have previously been made bankrupt or have been through criminal bankruptcy could face a term of bankruptcy for up to 15 years.
The total individual insolvency rate per 10,000 adults1 in the English regions and Wales from 2001 to 2011 is shown in Figure 1.
Source: ONS chart produced using data from The Insolvency Service
Total individual insolvency rates were steady across the English regions and Wales in 2001 and 2002, at around six to eight per 10,000 adults. In 2003 rates started to rise, this could be due to people wanting to declare themselves insolvent before the introduction of the Enterprise Act 2002, which came into force in 2004.
From 2004 to 2006 total individual insolvency rates increased each year, at least doubling in all English regions and Wales, over the period. The largest rate increase was in the South West where total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults rose from 13.9 to 30.3 (a rise in the rate of 16.4).
The largest percentage increase in rates was seen in the North East, where the rate rose by 151 per cent (from 10.6 total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults to 26.6). The regional rates began to stabilise from 2006 to 2008, declining in the East of England, London, South East and South West and increasing slowly elsewhere.
In 2009 there was a sharp increase in total individual insolvency rates in all English regions and Wales, possibly due to the recession: with the loss of jobs and associated income. London saw the smallest percentage rise between 2008 and 2009, from 17.0 total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults to 19.6 (a rise in the rate of 2.6, or 15.3 per cent), while Wales saw the largest percentage increase between 2008 and 2009, from 23.8 total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults to 31.8 (a rise in the rate of 8.0, or 33.6 per cent).
From 2009 to 2011 regional rates have fallen between 3 and 17 per cent: with three regions, the East of England, London and the South East; having fallen below their 2006 levels (when individual insolvency rates peaked previously). The South West rate in 2011 (30.4) was only marginally higher than the South West rate in 2006 (30.3).
This is perhaps an indicator showing the extent to which the English regions and Wales have recovered from the effects of recession. In 2011 the North East was the region with the highest total individual insolvency rate at 35.2 total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults, twice that of London which has the lowest rate at 17.5 total individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults.
There were wide differences in the percentage change in rates of individual insolvencies at local authority level from 2008 to 2011, shown in Map 1. The comparator year of 2008 was chosen as it appears to pre-date peaks in both the number of individual insolvencies and the individual insolvency rate, and appears to pre-date the impact of the recession. Just over one-third of local authorities showed a decrease in individual insolvencies over this period.
The largest percentage changes in the total individual insolvency rate over the period 2008 to 2011 occurred in the two least populated local authorities: the Isles of Scilly and the City of London1: as such these areas should be treated with caution and the areas with the next largest changes should be noted. These areas are St Albans and Middlesbrough, both of which have adult populations in excess of 100,000, and as such any marginal change in the number of individual insolvencies within those areas should not have a significant impact on the insolvency rate.
Between 2008 and 2011 St Albans experienced the biggest decrease in the individual insolvency rate, excluding the City of London, falling 31 per cent (from a rate of 16.2 individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults to a rate of 11.1, representing a fall from 167 to 117 cases of individual insolvency). Middlesbrough experienced the biggest rise in the individual insolvency rate, excluding the Isles of Scilly, increasing by 76 per cent (from a rate of 16.0 to a rate of 28.2, a rise from 174 to 310 cases of individual insolvency).
Between 2008 and 2011 the total individual insolvency rate in the Isles of Scilly rose by 128 per cent (from a rate of 10.9 individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults to a rate of 24.8) whilst in the City of London it fell by 74 per cent (from a rate of 16.4 to a rate of 4.3). The Isles of Scilly are home to less than 2,000 adults and the City of London is home to around 11,000 adults. Due to the small population sizes of these areas, a marginal change in the number of individual insolvencies is likely to have a significant impact on the rate.Taking the local authorities identified: the Isles of Scilly rose from 2 individual insolvencies in 2008 to 5 in 2011, while the City of London fell from 17 individual insolvencies to 5 individual insolvencies over the same period.
The article provides an analysis of sub-national individual insolvency statistics. It highlights the trends which have taken place since 2001 and identifies some of the possible reasons for these trends.
Overall, individual insolvencies began to rise prior to the introduction of the Enterprise Act 2002, the total individual insolvency rate continued to rise until 2006. The rate then began to decline; it started to rise again in 2008, which coincides with the start of the recession. Rates of individual insolvency varied across the English regions and Wales over the period and varied considerably at local authority level.
There is scope for further analysis of the data available, including but not limited to:
more detailed local authority analysis of types of individual insolvency,
linking insolvency data with other statistics such as regional employment data or housing repossession data,
assessing the level of influence and impact things have had on individual insolvency statistics, such as quantifying the impact the recession has had, or the availability of finance and attitudes towards debt.
More information is available from the Neighbourhood Statistics website.
You can also find out more at the Individual Insolvencies by Region page on The Insolvency Service website.
A second article examining characteristics of individual insolvencies in 2011 is due to be published in October 2012 on the area based analysis section of the ONS website.
The definitions used in this analysis have been taken from Regional Individual Insolvency Statistics 2000 to 2011.
Individual insolvency procedures include bankruptcy, debt relief orders (with effect from 6 April 2009) and individual voluntary arrangements:
Bankruptcy: a form of debt relief available for anyone who is unable to pay the debts they owe. Any assets owned will vest in a trustee in bankruptcy who will sell them and distribute the proceeds to creditors in accordance with the order laid down by statute.
Debt relief order: a form of debt relief available to those who owe £15,000 or less and have little by way of assets or income. There is no distribution to creditors, and discharge from debts takes place 12 months after the DRO is granted.
Individual Voluntary Arrangements – a voluntary means of repaying creditors some or all of what they are owed. Once approved by the majority of creditors, the arrangement is binding on all. Such arrangements are supervised by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner.
Additional information on all aspects of insolvency may be found on The Insolvency Service website.

apple should answer this... how many people would buy macs, let alone know about them ,if it wasn't for advertising? heck Microsoft commercials used to be positive about moving society forward, helping in development etc. (about 2 years back)
and then apple comes along and all they do is bash them... now Microsoft made some commercials to defend itself and oh no their so terrible? plz... this is by far the lamest thing ive seen anyone do, quite frankly this is as lame as people sayn obama is a terrorist ... just plain idiotic, hypocritical and down right pathetic
When you have 7-8% of the market share with what you consider a superior product, how do you gain market share? When there is only one other player, (ignore Linux for the time being) the player is dominant, you attack negatively.
I'm surpised that Microsoft hasn't gone after the iPod which conversely holds 80% of the market. Would be kind of funny... "Hi, I'm a Zune and this is iPod..."
@ Sumichu
they're not talking about how microsoft build computers.
they're talking about how microsoft asks people to pay for a new operating system with a ton of problems and then fix it sometime later
whereas apple releases a new version of OSX only when it is ready, and not a complete embarrassment.
for the amount of money/market share microsoft has, i would expect them to at least be able to release an operating system without major flaws. hell, with that kind of money they should have the best operating system on the planet!
Anyway, I use Mac at home and XP at work. I have no problems with XP service pack 3, haven't had to reboot since Friday, it's been at least 2 weeks since my last BSOD and since I reinstalled Windows a month ago it's been quite stable. So over all a positive experience.
Telstra (formally Telecom Australia) had until the early 90's a total monopoly on phone service. The phones had to be leased and fees were expensive, customer service was crap, had to wait months to get a phone line and modems were illegal to own!!! One could argue Telstra was the reason why broadband in Australia was too slow to take off and to this day is crap. They dominated (actually owned) the market and held the country hostage. Now that there are plenty of competitors they've had to do something strange... innovate.
This is the whole point of the Mac vs PC commercials. Maybe Microsoft should spend their 300mil on an OS that will blow away Mac OS X. Maybe even fix the Zune...
I bought Vista Ultimate the day it came out, I didnt have any problems with it then, and dont have any problems with it now. The arrogance of Apple is exactly why I will never own a Mac... not to mention all the issues I have with my iPhone!! My iPhone apps and Safari crash more in 1 day than my Vista PC does in a year. But dont get me wrong, I LOVE my iPhone!!! So I wont even bring up my recent experience with ''AppleCare" when my 3 month old 3G suddenly went schitzo for no reason, and I had to have it replaced!!
In these stupid commercials, they should mention AFTER the $300M thing about the fact that any Mac system costs 3 times as much as any comparable Windows PC!! AND you'll have to blow another grand or 2 to replace all your firewire based toys!!
PS. I thought this was modmyi?? when did it become modmymac?? The entire home page is plastered with a seemingly endless scroll of Mac crap... nothing about iPhones or even the Touch!!
Zune vs Ipod Comparison - NEW (ignore the virus part, i think that part is bull)
I think zune made a great comback here.
~its just good business, its all about marketing~between two very powerful companies with moneys in mind~~as we are customers~no point fighting over it, buy whatever u like, and use it~enjoy it, thats all~~leave the competition to steven and gate, they fight harder is better, so they will come out with more new stuff and toys for us to kill our wallet for~
and safari does crash... ALL the time. whoever said safari crashes more than vista is correct! lol
Apple can get a bit ridiculous at times.
I mean exposing other companies? Sure they have been producing great products and sales have been awesome but I mean come on be a bit humble.
It's marketing, nothing else. To be honest, if you're lame enough to look so deeply into the ads, get offended by them, and then choose to view Microsoft or Apple as a personality before you view them as a business, you sound like an idiot. Well to me, anyway. If you paid for it and you enjoy it, don't bother taking on the opinions (also known as self-made facts) of others.
So because someone is doing better and you think it is unfair you can spew hate and negativity? WRONG. you stick with it and you do good and you push your product out there the right way.
Numerous companies have made it doing it that way and they are better because of it.
Here are some tips for Apple, don't make your products cost a crazy amount, stop acting so smug and let Steve jobs go because his tumor is obviously messing him up.
You are dead wrong. The point of marketing is to make people relate and feel emotions towards the advertisement or whatever it may be.
Apple has become so popular again, due to its marketing and people having emotions towards it. Marketing is everything.
You know what i find odd, please tell me why they are obviously attacking Microsoft, when they arent even a hardware company.
Sure their software is on most computers, but a lot of times their software needs good parts to run good, just like Apple.
hahaaaa, I love microsoft and apple and these commercials
Original idea:
This is childish on Apple's part.
Unfortunately Apple users will love it and eat up every word whilst sipping a soya decaf latte in Starbucks (couldn't resist) and Windows users will hate it.
Its just a shame Microsoft had to respond with their version of the advert to cossey the mongrels in this world who cant make a decision for themselves.
First of all...this is writer is not a chick....
Stop cutting pictures of you and a guy.
While not leave him in the picture.
Sex does not sell iphones.
What happened to this site???
Ever since the revelation of the Apple law suit...this info on this site has declined.
Not good.
Yea pretty much lost interest in this site since the influx of non-iPhone crap. If I wanted to read about all things apple, I'd read TUAW. If I wanted to read a political rant... well, you get the picture.
If there is an iPhone-only version of this site, please let me know.
Stick to what makes you good, not why the competition sucks.

Daughter - Get Lucky (Daft Punk cover)
A pretty picture but the scenery is so loud, a face like heaven catching lighting in your nightgown
something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
I just climbed out the Byzantium. You were there. So young. Didn't have a clue who I was. You're funny like that.
now you are truly lost
Well, you split your soul, you see, and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if one's body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged. But, of course, existence in such a form…few would want it, Tom, very few. Death would be preferable.

Have you ever wondered why mom's old washing machine ran for decades, but today's cool, new, high-efficiency models are lucky if they go for 10 years? It seems everything breaks so soon these days, but some products seem to make it.
These days it seems that many items are disposable. Whether it's a cell phone, computer, or appliance, after a few years, it's pretty much done and time to trade for a new one.
Some Products Can Still Last Forever
Remember back when mom's old Maytag would last 40 years? Nowadays, a 2-year-old iPhone is considered on its last legs, and many kitchen appliances don't last much longer.
But AOL Daily Finance says there are still some products that never need replacing.
Among them:
-Electrolux vacuums and Kitchen Aid mixers. Many are still working at age 50.
-North Face jackets will go out of style long before they wear out.
-The same goes for JanSport backpacks and Carhartt jackets.
-Nintendo's Game Boy Color Hand Held Video System and Nintendo 64.
-Old Texas Instruments calculators.
-Your old baby blanket.
Doesn't That Stink
But from the Doesn't That Stink file comes high-efficient products with short lifespans. Today's high-efficient refrigerators and washing machines use lots of electronics and plastics, which simply will not last 30 years.
But get used to it, like a Kim Kardashian marriage, many things just don't last as long as they should.
So it's good to know that in this disposable society, there are still a few things that last more than a couple of years. With those, you don't have to open your wallet every couple of years, and you don't waste your money.

You're Also Getting 10+ Hours Of "Inner Circle" Training With The Even More Advanced Techniques That Are TOO CLOSELY GUARDED To Even Mention On This Webpage!
This Brings Your Total To 18+ Hours Of Advanced Training!
And don't forget...
This is downloadable training so you can access it all in less than 3 minutes from now!!
We take you step by step into exactly what you need to do and we give you a word for word scripts that you can use RIGHT NOW.
When you get the "Dark Side Hypnosis Course" you will finally be able to get your hands on the same covert hypnosis techniques that have been used in the Dark Side Inner Circle for years...
Just A Taste Of What You'll
Plus a lot more, like...
The little talked about fear every human being has... and how to use it to influence and persuade anyone you want. (This tactic is often used by car salesmen, jewelers and other people who try and sell you stuff. And it works even better in everyday life.)
You can even set triggers to give anyone instant amnesia so they forget any piece of information you want... Once you know how to do this you can do anything you want and get away with it.
In The Wrong Hands, This Is Dangerous
And that's exactly why I don't want just anyone getting their hands on this information.
There are some people out there who might abuse these techniques.
Before today I've had over 17,477 people get in touch with me begging me for this information.
This is already WAY too many people and because of that I can't make this course available for too long.
I'm watching the numbers very closely and, and when I feel the time has come... this website will be taken down and The Dark Side Hypnosis Training System will absolutely NEVER be available again.
If you want to get your hands on these powerful techniques then
don't waste another second.
Here's How You Can Join The Real
This website could be taken down at any minute, and I'm even letting you "test drive" the course risk free.
There are 17,477 people desperate to get their hands on this course...
But only a handful of people will ever get access to this information.
Make sure you're one of them.
Talk Soon,
Cameron Crawford
P.S. I'm also offering a special bonus to anyone who purchases the course today.
If you buy today, I will also include (free of charge) "The Looking Glass Technique".
This is EXTREMELY underground and advanced Dark Side Hypnosis knowledge is rare and you won't find it anywhere else.
It's insanely powerful stuff...
It's one of the most powerful hypnosis tactics the you've ever
I had to pay an INSANE amount of money to get my hands on this information...
You honestly would not believe it if I told you how much.
And the catch was this: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WAS I TO SHARE THESE TECHNIQUES WITH ANYONE.
Now, there's a chance this is going to end up being one of the
worst judgment calls of my life, but I've decided to release this information for one day.
Here's why:
As I've already told you, I've had over 17,477 desperate to get
their hands on these powerful techniques.
So instead what I've decided to do is make it available for a VERY short time...
That way, only the people who are the most dedicated and the most determined will be able to get it.
I'm currently planning to pull these CD's at midnight June 4, 2014 .
P.P.S. One more thing... Please don't tell anybody about the information on this page.
The more people that find out about it the more likely it will be taken offline. Because of this I'm giving you the chance to get your hands on all of my Dark Side Hypnosis knowledge before it's too late.
For a very limited time, here's what you'll be getting in the Dark Side Hypnosis course:
Audio Course
(a $353 value!)Please Note: I Reserve The Right to TAKE THE ENTIRE course offline and NEVER REVEAL IT AGAIN.
This is the only place you will find this information. Since it's very limited, I urge you not to put it off as you're destined to regret it later.
Remember, all the risk is on me.
If you don't think this is the most amazing hypnosis course of its kind, then you get every single penny back.
If you decide these techniques aren't for you, then I will INSTANTLY refund you.
It doesn't matter. I am offering you a 100% NO QUESTIONS ASKED MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
because I believe in this course THAT much.
Honestly, this is a no brainer. This will absolutely NEVER be available again, and you can even 'test drive' it risk free.

So now there's a witness that is a 3 degree separation from Ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez saying that they overheard him admitting to shooting Odin Lloyd!! Wow, that's gonna probably worry his defense lawyers.
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler are officially over with after 2 years….Not really a surprise because a) It's George Clooney and B) They haven't been seen together for months…..so Stacy joins a long list of George Clooney Ex's……should be good for her dating resume though being the Ex of George Clooney!

The Carolina Panthers have been out of the playoff picture since the first month…well, not really but it sure seems that way. They have one game left on their schedule, one game left for John Fox, and find themselves once again...RELEVANT!
This weekends game against the Atlanta Falcons has meaning. For two rivals who have played some good games in Carolina's relatively short existence this game now is more than simply wanting to play smack down with the "Dirty Birds". In fact, the Falcons won't be laying down. They won't be resting their starters or simply going through the motions. No, they need to win and the Panthers can put an exclamation point on their own season as well as one on theirs.
In other words, John Fox can give himself a send off that puts his rival team on the road for the playoffs.Last night the Falcons needed to win in order to secure the first seed in the playoffs. A back and forth battle between them and the New Orleans Saints ended with the Saints on top and the Carolina Panthers in the picture. It comes down to one. Week 17. Atlanta wins and they stay home for the playoffs. They lose and all roads lead through New Orleans and at the center of that are the Carolina Panthers.
This is a statement game for the players. A statement game for exiting John Fox. It's an opportunity for them to say, "we are not a 2-15 team!". This will alleviate that 31 to 10 loss to Atlanta at home earlier.
The Panthers should come out and run the ball. Keeping their defense off the field and in turn keeping Matt Ryan and Co. off the field. Ball control and clock control are the keys to a Panthers win. But this game won't be won on talent or coaching, or anything else that they will go over in the game planning stages at the training facility this week. This will come down to 53 players deciding they want it more than the other team.
The Carolina Panthers are relevant in the final week of the 2010 season. Can they make a statement or will they head into the off-season with yet another failed attempt to be heard?

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
When an atom becomes excited it can emit light at discrete frequencies determined by the energy levels available to it. For example, if the electron in a hydrogen atom is excited to the 6s orbital, it can give off light by jumping down to the 5s, 4p, or 3d orbitals. This atomic absorption spectrum is similar to a fingerprint as it is unique to every atom. By taking this spectrum for an unknown sample, we can determine whether a particular atom is present.

We were on a train from the airport to the hotel and I decided to play around with my Canon EOS 600D and it's shutter speed. I have always wanted to take pictures such as the one above, because I was inspired by one of the photographers who had his work on the magazine of Black & White Photography. I know it might not be that good of a picture, but I am pretty contented with the outcome.
Hungry we were, we headed out for dinner right after leaving our luggage in the hotel rooms. And thankfully my boyfriend knows the place quite well enough to bring us to where we can find good cheap Japanese food! And boy was the Char Siew Ramen with Shoyu base soup heavenly! Apart from the very fatty char siew meat, I must say that was a pretty darn good bowl of ramen and it beats anything you can find in Singapore at the same price of S$10. If you tell me Singapore's Ajisen I will slap you..
Now finally a picture of my 彼氏 and me outside the Ramen store we had our dinner at. Those of you who are in the customer service line and suck at it, please visit Japan and learn a thing or two. Thank you. Even though I myself have been in the customer service line before, and I did a pretty good darn job at it mind you, I still feel that I am not good enough if I were to compare myself with the people in Japan.
Lovely people, streets and country. And this is only our first night, wait until you hear from me when I come back from Universal Studios Osaka..

No JdV for WP
Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has made four changes to his side for Saturday's Currie Cup semi-final with the Golden Lions in Johannesburg.
The big news is that captain and inside centre Jean de Villiers has been sidelined for the remainder of the Currie Cup with a grade one hamstring strain, but he is not considered doubtful for the Springboks' year-end tour of Ireland, Scotland and England next month.
His place in the run-on side to face the Lions will be taken by Marcel Brache.
The WP and Bok skipper was sent for a scan on Wednesday and after consultation with the WP team doctor, Arthur Williams, and further advice from a specialist, De Villiers faces a three-week lay-off.
The other changes sees Gio Aplon taking over at full-back from Joe Pietersen while lock De Kock Steenkamp and hooker Scarra Ntubeni come in for injured Springbok duo Andries Bekker (toe), Tiaan Liebenberg (back) who were sidelined earlier this week.
Coetzee said he decided to leave De Villiers out as a precautionary measure after the Springbok skipper sustained the injury during a training session.
"Jean felt pain while accelerating and I don't want to risk him," he said.
While De Villiers' injury is a major blow for Province, Coetzee is confident that Brache will do well as his replacement.
"Marcel has come a long way with the team and grown a lot this season," the coach said.
"He is not a stranger to the set-up and has done well for us when he has started in previous games."
Deon Fourie, who takes over the captaincy, said although losing De Villiers was a setback he was confident of attaining success on Saturday.
"Jean offers stability, leadership and experience to any side he plays in but we still have other experienced Boks in our side which we can count on," he said.
"All the guys who are coming into the side for those experienced players have stood in for them before and most of them have experienced similar situations in the past."
Coetzee also confirmed that Liebenberg and Bekker will not return to action during 2012.
"Both Tiaan and Andries are out for the rest of the season," he revealed.
"Tiaan is out for eight weeks with a vertebrae injury while Andries has a toe injury.
"Both injuries were picked up against the Cheetahs."
When asked about facing a player like Elton Jantjies - whose excellent goal-kicking has helped the defending champions reach the semi-final - Coetzee said WP would not focus on any individuals.
"We work hard within our own system," he said.
"Our aim is to do well defensively and with ball in hand. If you focus on one quality player in a team you forget that there are other players amongst the opposition who are also good and that could be dangerous."
Western Province: 15 Gio Aplon, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Marcel Brache, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Don Armand, 6 Deon Fourie (c), 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
