Webb is the third Ravens player to have turf toe in 2011 (Lewis and offensive guard Ben Grubbs are the others). He is holding out hope that unlike Lewis and Grubbs, he won't miss any games.
"I hope not. I'm doing everything I can do to get back on the field," Webb, who wore a walking boot on his left foot as a precautionary measure, said Wednesday. "It would hurt me if I'm on the sidelines and somebody else is playing. The last time I did that was my rookie year. … This isn't an ACL. It's really going to take a lot to keep me off the field right now."
Cornerback Chris Carr, who had been sidelined with a back injury, practiced Wednesday and is optimistic about his chances to play Sunday night. However, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (back), kicker Billy Cundiff (calf), defensive end Cory Redding (ankle) and Grubbs (toe) did not practice.

Kaepernick, 49ers rally to beat PackersPosted by on September 8, 2013 – 6:48 pm
SAN FRANCISCO–This one went down to the wire, but Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers scored another win over the Packers, 34-28.
Down 24-21 with 10:56 to play and 76 yards away from victory, Aaron Rodgers began a drive that would put the Packers into the lead. The big play was a 37-yard, toe-tap reception by Jordy Nelson, and then rookie running back Eddie Lacy went over the top for a touchdown from two yards out that staked the Packers to a 28-24 lead.
A 27-yard field goal by the 49ers' Phil Dawson to start the fourth quarter broke a 21-21 tie.
Kaepernick and the 49ers roared back following Lacy's touchdown run. Kaepernick completed a 43-yard pass to Anquan Boldin and then running back Kendall Hunter turned right end for 23 yards to the Packers 9-yard line.
Frank Gore burst up the middle for 7 yards to the 2-yard line, from where Gore scored on the next play, and the 49ers had regained the lead, 31-28.
The ball was back in Rodgers' court with 5:47 to play and the Packers starting at their 9-yard line. On third-and-four, and with the game potentially on the line, Rodgers eluded the rush but threw incomplete, forcing a punt by Tim Masthay.
Kaepernick faced a third-and-four and converted with a pass to Vernon Davis. The 49ers were now in control of the clock and began exhausting the Packers' times out. The Packers spent their final time out with the 49ers facing fourth-and-two with 3:00 to play. When Kaepernick completed a third-down pass that put him over 400 yards passing for the game, the Packers were running out of time. Dawson eventually kicked a field goal with :26 to play.
Kaepernick completed 27 of 39 passes for 412 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers was 21 of 36 for 333 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
In what turned out to be a shootout between Rodgers and Kaepernick, the big difference between this game and the 49ers' win over the Packers in January was the Packers defense's ability to stop the 49ers running game in this game.

I'm pretty sure the Packers weren't playing the Packers. Also, the defense may have stopped the 49ERS running game, but they gave up TOO many yards through the air! I SAW THIS COMING! FIX YOUR TEAM GREENBAY! ALREADY LOSING THE SEASON! GREAT EFFING START!

Great game by the Packers front 7 and O-Line. Bahktiari really showed what he was made of. This was a phenomenal opener.
Also, I think you mean the Packer's defense stopped the 49ers's running game.

Morgan Burnett's absence was evident, and I thought McMillan looked overmatched and out of place, missing tackles, etc..
Overall the game was exactly what I hoped the Packers could accomplish. Stop the run, develop a running attack with Lacy in moderation, and control the read option. We saw each of these develop.

Really! Sacked on last play of the game when eight defenders are in the end zone. Unreal!
By mrqpros on Sep 8, 2013 | Reply
Turning points: Mike's decision NOT to decline the penalty that would've all but forced the Niners to kick a field goal early; the blown call by the refs; the inability to continue the running game after Lacy finally got things rolling late; the O line's inability to protect Aaron on the last play of the game; and the secondary's general inability to stop Bolden. Bright spots? Clay, Aaron, Lacy post-fumble, Sam when he wasn't being bitten by Bolden and, as always, Mastay (loved the post-kickoff tackle).

This defense desperately needed Burnett and Hayward to play. It's going to be a long 1st quarter of the season if we have to rely on Bush as the dime back until Hayward is healthy.

Rossum? Holding calls? Cant contain Boldin? Thats what lost the game for us. The ref call did not help any.

Has Ross been put on waivers yet? He cost us the game giving the 49'ers 2 touchdowns w/his stupid decisions to run the ball out of the end zone instead of taking a knee. Once is a mistake the second time is stupidit!

I think this how the rest of the season will play out for the packers. They will be one score shy of winning games this year. I honestly think that they will not even make the post season and if they do San Francisco will hand it to them in the playoffs. I think it would be different if they won today but they obviously didn't want it bad enough.

The time of possession difference was a killer again at the end. The defense was simply spent in the 4th quarter and could offer little resistance.

Agreed PackerBacker. I thought our safeties were our weakness. Plus, those turnovers. Just cannot have those if we're going to beat these guys.

Too many stupid penalties. Secondary was terrible, letting Anquan Boldin get wide open for every single one of his catches. Ross can't be the return man anymore, just take the knee and start on the 20 yard line.
By Mike on Sep 8, 2013 | Reply
Doesn't really matter how you slice it, they lost. They stopped the run but they still gave up nearly 500 yards. The Niners were 9 for 18 on third down and 1 f0r 1 on 4 down. Turnovers, penalties and bad special teams is recipe for L's all the time.
By Larry on Sep 8, 2013 | Reply
It will not be a long season for us. We nearly beat a Super Bowl team, and easily one of the the tho or three best teams in the NFL. We will win 11 or 12 games. If we get healthy in the secondary we can go a long way.

Another season watching are defense flop under Dom Capers. It's like watching a repeat of last season (and i'm not talking just about the playoffs). FIRE CAPERS already its becoming a repeating theme year after year where we give up insane yardage and expect our offense to make up for it. When your team gives up 400+ yards in the air its not the players problem, its pathetic coaching on the defense. FIRE CAPERS!!!!

It was a good game with some Bad Luck for the Pack.
Improved Balance on Offense.
Much improved Defense.
SubPar ST play against very good 49erSTs
So the start was better than last year.
Hope is there for a good season but no guarantee….
@peaople who are mad: The 49ers were the favorites for a reason. They showed not a lot of this and needed luck to win.

Man what a game though, way better then what happened to us in the playoffs. So quit your whining and get behind your team. GO PACK GO.

Could our defensive backs please quit watching the game in the backfield and stick to their man. Williams didn't even know where Bolden was on the 4 & 2 and had to run over to the other side of the field to line up on him. Great job on our defensive line, but our defensive backs need to pull their heads out of their hind parts!

Tough loss but I liked what I saw. I think the world can put to rest that we aren't a physical team. Turnovers will kill you everytime you play a team like this. SF gives you nothing. Don't give them anything either. Lacy will be fine. He will break out as he continues his progression in this offense. Yes, we did win the war, because we've figured out SF's bread and butter play. See what Kap can do throwing the ball in sub zero climate in January. We have a run D folks! Be happy with that. Everything will fall into place. Lacy will be key. You all will see…

Glad this game is over. I was worried about this game – but after watching it – I know we can beat the 49ers now. We shot ourselves in the foot and we can definitely win another game against this team. They are not so scary and tough like they want to make everyone think. The 49ers next opponent is thanking our team for showing everyone that. Take away Boldin and what did they really have? Sorry 49ers to take away your mystique! (And go ahead and let your heads get big by all the comments that will be made by the football talking heads – you are their "Golden Boys" right now – but that time will come to an end. Mark my words.

Lord have mercy on us all. A number of these comments are so panic strickenly hysterical. The Packers lost to a good team. Mental errors and turnovers were the major difference in the game. MM should not be second guessed on his decision to accept the penalty giving the 49ers another shot. If he had accepted the outcome of the down it would have been 4th and 1 within the 10 and I believe Harbaugh would have gone for it. As well as the Packers did play against the run, it was still just one yard. It was a tough call to make and only justifiable if it worked out. It didn't.

Remember that it's just a game. Just. A. Game. Not real. Just. A. Game.
As for said game, sure I'd like to have seen a win. But there was improvement, and we had inexperienced players in the backfield. We stood toe-to-toe with, arguably, the best team in the NFL right now. I greatly look forward to the re-match in January.
As for the rest of you emotional creatures – calm down or consider that it's not a good idea for you to watch these games.

Can't blame the refs. Matthews was waiting all year to make that hit, and it was a cheap shot that was stupid. Without that, there would have been no penalty, no pushing and shoving and no blown call by the ref.
It all started with Matthews trying to take of Kap's head. He should be fined. Had he not launched himself out of bounds, it would have been 3rd down anyway.
Stop making excuses.

It was a curious call. I also was shocked he didn't decline. I think he might have been concerned that SF would go for it on 4th and short, and felt better about stopping 3rd and 6. Still, it sure seemed like a blunder. Didn't cost us the game though. Inability to stop them on 3rd down and to disrupt Kaep-Boldin killed us.

Everybody chill out. The Packers already looked way better than any point last year. I'm still kind of surprised of the effort Green Bay put up today. Early on I thought this was just going to be another beat down, couldn't move the ball couldn't get off the field etc, etc. We should we are a lot more resilient than last year. When the going got tough we didn't tuck our tails in and take the clobbering like last year.

Issues and Concerns:
Defensive allows opposing QB to have better stats then Rodgers, who is reported to be "Currently the best player in the NFL today".
Josh Sitton, our Best starting offensive lineman, has 3 holding calls, what's up with that?
Run blocking unable to open holes, and often resulted in runs for negative yards.
Special teams, especially returns, stink. Why now down the ball and get it on the 20 instead of running it out to the 10?
Where was James Jones today?
Are our defensive backs and special teams coaches "On Notice" ?

Btw Steve the fact that "Williams didn't even know where Bolden was on the 4 & 2″ is a coaching issue! If a player has been in the NFL for 7 years and nobody has taught him to keep track of his man then a coach needs to be fired.
Wiki Dom Capers once and you will find he has had several opportunities as both head coach and defensive coordinator and has been canned by most of them. There is a reason. Don't just look at the numbers my friend, look at how he manages big downs, close games, and all the important stuff. How many times today did we fail to stop a critical down? Nearly all! It's not a player issue if it happens year after year.

Very close call there, the packers gave up to the 49'ers 34 points and 494 total yards.
Quarterback ratings: Rodgers 102.6, Kaepernick 129.4
While I still feel that the Packers are one of the better teams in the NFL, I just can't see them having a deep run in the playoff's. 9-7 Wildcard team most likely, and 10-6 tops.

Once again Dom Capers the tremendous Packer secondary that's suppose to be there, wasn't.
These guys can't tackle or stop anything!
Maybe the dreadlocks are in there eyes too!
Fix the problem!
We probably might have won if the defensive secondary new how to cover the receivers.
Looks like to me they're afraid to tackle the big guys.
Hope the showing next week is better,
This loss leaves a bad taste even though its week #1

Unbelievable that the Packers were still in this thing in the 4th quarter. Time of possession was 2-1 Niners. We seldom pressured their QB and we sure didn't cover their receivers. Packers D has some major adjustments to make, something that feels like an all-too-familiar refrain during the Capers years. Niners are showing the league how to beat the Packers. Could be a long season.

"…lost the battle but won the war." Are we serious right now? Pack has lost 3 straight to these clowns! Sure, the D didn't get ran all over, but they still got carved up via the air. Not to mention, they failed in the clutch. I see no victories here.

Way to Eff it up GB. You made old man Bouldin look like the damn fantasy receiver of the year and Kap looks like the QB of the decade. You had 1 job and you couldn't do it. It's going to be another long year and in the end, you'll be losing in the playoffs. Might as well bring Favre back. Same song different beat.

What has changed? The defense lets up 400+ yard in the air. The defense allows the 49ers to move the ball at will after the offense takes the lead. The defense continues to get hammered over the middle. The defense still can't stop 3rd and long, either allowing a 1st down or allowing the opposition to get into field goal range. Again, what has changed?
I have said it many times before. As long as Dom Capers is the defensive coordinator, the Packers don't have a chance of bringing home the Lombarid Trophy.

Also, way to go Mike McCarthy for taking that penalty instead of forcing the 49ers to face a 4th down. Does anyone on the coaching staff know the rules? How does a coaching staff not challenge or question the refs decision to play the following down over considering that both penalties were dead ball fouls? Absolutely pathetic performance by McCarthy and Capers in a game that the Pack easily could have won.

On the road, SF's QB having a career day, Aaron having a (by his #1 stds) an off day & yet came down to last play. I saw improvement in most areas and the rest can be fixed (DB's, etc). Come Jan & SF has to come to Lambeau for a playoff, I would confidently predict a Packer victory.

LMAO! If you think the Packers are going to nail home field advantage with that terrible defensive you've got another thing coming. The 49ers will be the #1 or 2 seed depending on how ATL comes out this season. The Pack will get a wild card spot, and that's only because the NFC North isn't that great. You Packers fans must face reality in that your team is not the team to beat in the NFC anymore.

It is not only game 1. It is a team GB needs to beat if they want to get into the playoffs. Come january when GB, MAY, trek back to SF they will lose again. This team does not have much a winning instinct anymore. Constantly falling flat in the playoffs and in big games. Months to prepare and SF threw all over the placed and ran at will, when they needed to, against a STILL SOFT GB D. Sure Mathews had a couple of good plays but they did not seem to impact the game in any real way. Well his ridiculous penalty did impact the game; good show of professionalism there. GB needs someone to help the defense understand the game, their positions and what it takes to stop an offense. Fill that gap and we can win again.

Chatelain claims that "all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin-flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence." He goes on to say: "I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code name 'Santa Claus' to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public.

Stop complaining about the refs decision. According to the head of NFL officials, Matthews deserved a personal foul for the cheapshot BUT Staley should NOT have been penalized, This gives SF a first down on the 3 yard line. GB lost because Kaepernick torched them. Boldin catches the ball. He has been doing this for 10 years. Track speed does not mean you catch footballs. SF has the best OL in the NFL and Kap is elusive and fast. That means plenty of time for receivers to get open.

MM's legacy will be his defense's couldn't win come crunch time.
Roger's legacy will be he couldn't win more than 1 super bowl because of the average talent pool behind him.
TT can't draft and develop a super bowl team drafting 25 and up every year.
We will waste the career of Aaron Rogers because of the no spend policy of viable free agents that could help us win a 14th Championship.

The blown call has been shown to have been in the packers' favor, since the VP of officiating said staley shouldn't have been penalized at all which should have have the 49ers a 1st and goal.

I've used Kiss My Face products before, and as the amazing Peaches and Cream moisturizer is still elusive, I chose the Honey and Calendula as it was on sale for $5 for the 16 oz.
It's difficult to rub in, and takes a while to settle, but I think that's pretty common for Kiss My Face. It's a decent moisturizer, but the smell makes me absolutely nauseous. If you can stomach the scent, as it sticks around FOREVER, go for it. This isn't for me. I'm returning this and ordering one I know I like.

I love this product. I love this product. and just incase you forgot... I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I am a sucker for sweet smells, and the combination of honey and calendula is a sure-fire win for me. It moisturizes very well. I use it right out of the shower on moist skin and let it air dry before I put on my clothes and voila! Beautifully moisturized skin. It's simple and cheap.. and the healthier ingredients in Kiss My Face's products VS other drugstore products are enough to keep me repurchasing.

I just don't like this lotion. I've been hunting for an amazing lotion to help with my super dry skin. I've literally never had this problem before so I'm extremely frustrated when nothing seems to work.
I don't think this moisturizers well enough. I was intrigued my the coconut oil ingredient which is listed I think 2nd or 3rd. It has a lot of penetrative qualities. However my skin still feels dry, maybe tight after I put this on. And what's even weirder is that my skin felt really hot and I felt this prickly burning sensation on certain areas.
The smell isn't good either. I was hoping for a real honey smell, like Burt's bees type or something . But no, very strange kinda like hairspray.
My hunt still continues but this by far is the worst lotion I've ever tried.

I tested the Lavender on one hand thand the Honey & Calendula on the other. I selected Lavender. I shopped for about 30 minutes with the Lavender in my cart. I kept sniffing the back of the hand that had the H&C and it was lovely. Smells just like honey and you guessed it calendula. When I got the check out line, I rushed to the exchange the Lavender for the Honey & Calendula. Why? My hand was softer and the fragrance was so comforting. Also, of the two lotions, this one did not make my very dry skin itch. I took it home and used it on my body and my face. That was last night. This morning, my skin was still moisturized. Wow. I haven't been so pleased with a lotion in a long, long, time. The fragrance is not cloying and gets only better as it mixes with my body chemistry. I only wish it didn't have a pump. I prefer squeeze bottles. Will repurchase.

I like this a lot, and just to clarify on someone else's post this no longer contains mineral oil as the third ingredient so hooray on that or else it wouldn't be very natural now would it?! As for it's moisturizing properties I think it does an okay job, but I use it more for the healing properties. It is very thick, but if you apply it right after washing your face with warm water you will find that it sinks right into your skin instantaneously. It didn't act as a barrier on my skin which I somewhat prefer as well because my skin feels quite dry and chapped in the winter. Since it does sink in like it does, my skin seems to drink in all the benefits this has to offer and my blemishes heal much more quickly and it is helping to fade some hyperpigmentation. The only thing I do not like is when I wake up in the morning (after applying at night) my face feels dry.

I purchased this after a major overhaul of my beauty products. I would much prefer to use as many natural products as I can. I thought the Honey Calendula scent sounded like it would be the nicest smelling of all of Kiss My Face's lotions. Initially I wasn't too pleased with the scent of the Calendula. I love the ingredient itself, as I know it's very good for skin, but the smell of it is just....eh. I adore honey in beauty products like this. If it has honey in it, I WILL TRY IT. However the combo of honey and calendula scent wise smelled like a dead flower to me initially. I'm not sure why, it simply smelled like dead flowers in not so fresh water to me. That was my reaction to it initially, but personally I have rather sensitive olafactory senses. I warmed to the scent and by the time I got midway through my bottle, I found the smell to be much nicer. In terms of it's moisturizing capabilities, it's not bad, but rather so-so to me. My skin was certainly not dry while I was using it, but it didn't provide anywhere near the super softness I like to feel after I moisturize. I do however find the packaging to be uber cute. I won't be buying this again, as I simply wasn't impressed enough.

I really really love the scent of this moisturizer. On some other 'good guide' websites etc I saw bad reviews on this product. I wonder why! Is it because of the retinyl palmitate ingredient?
I thought this cream is good. The smell is pleasant, it does an okay job of moisturizing. The calendula ingredient is soothing on the skin. Honey attracts moisture to the skin. The lotion has a silky, creamy consistency.
Somewhat difficult to apply the lotion as it does not spread easily. Way too expensive. The small travel size tube costs 5 bucks!

(no i don't have athletes foot,just super dry cracked heels) the smell doesn't bother me either,its a light natural scent. its prob because i work w/ a lot of ess oils & carrier oils so im used to the smell.

Friendly Free Trade: Swap a Job You Love for One You Need Help With
When I painted my living room, my friend Rose pitched in to get the job done. When she needed help figuring out how to arrange a wall of pictures, she called me.
It wasn't the first time I swapped a job I'm able to do for a job I lack the skill set to perform well. When you live alone and far from family, it's not uncommon to rely on your friends to help you with your home tasks. I've helped friends buy lampshades, choose wall colors, find fabric for pillows. I've consulted on furniture arrangements, gone on shopping trips, planted gardens, stripped furniture, made curtains, sourced couches and stained a deck. And I've relied on friends to help me decide how high a light should hang, pick which shade of paint is best, help paint my bedroom and my living room, and for any job which requires knowing how to use a drill. Yes, I could learn how to use one myself, but until that happens, I ask my friends.
Do you rely on friends to help you out with certain household tasks or to help you make design decisions?

Absolutely! In fact, if anyone in the LA area needs help with tape/painting I've run out of rooms to work on and would love to help someone else achieve their dream of a herringbone wall.
Definitely! In particular when it comes to buying electrical things like computers etc... I get calls all the time about how do I cook this, what could I do with .... Food tips etc
Yup! I help friends develop their personal brand and build websites, and in exchange they cat-sit when I travel. It's great.
@wallflowerpower!! haha...
OMG! I have friend who has the skills to construct furniture and to sew, with all the tools needed, and I abuse the crap out of him. But he is more than willing to do it as my birthday or Christmas present.
I rely on family rather than on friends, and then for advice rather than for work. I appreciate my amazing big sister letting me pick her brain. My husband has some friends he asks for computers and electronics advice. We share advice when asked. If we can't do a task ourselves, then we usually hire someone to help, because most of our close family and friends are in their fifties, too.
When an officemate moved near where I lived, she usually cooks and gives me the leftovers. When she had a big tear on her jeans, I volunteered to patch it up because she doesn't know how to sew.
It's nice to have neighbors look out for each other.

Drug 'discount card' defrauded seniors, FTC says
Feds say the telemarketing operation, which is being shut down, targeted seniors and pretended to be connected with Medicare, Social Security or health insurers.
A scam that targeted seniors all over the country -- duping them into paying to be part of a medical discount program by claiming affiliations with Medicare, Social Security or health insurers -- is being shut down, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday.
The scam, whose operators are in the U.S. and Canada, involved a Montreal-based telemarketing operation whose goal was to get seniors' bank account information and then start withdrawing money.
Consumers often received nothing in return, or a discount card that could be obtained for free from a variety of websites.
The FTC said the cards provided no value to anyone who had any other health insurance coverage.
"This scam, which targeted and deceived our nation's seniors, is as cynical and wanton as they come," said Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "We look forward to bringing this operation to a halt and working to get relief for the victims."
The FTC filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Chicago asking that the operation be shut down and consumers who lost money be compensated. A judge issued a temporary restraining order at the government's request. The order froze the defendants' assets and, for now, stopped the scam. The FTC alleged the sales pitches violated federal telemarketing laws and were deceptive.
The FTC said the scam involved having the telemarketers in Canada get the consumers' bank account information and then relay it to those in the U.S. who were part of the scheme. They, in turn, would use a process called a "demand draft" and would draw about $300 from the victim's bank account.
U.S. defendants in the case include AFD Advisors, LLC, of Wisconsin (aka AFD Medical Advisors); AMG Associates, LLC, of Delaware (aka AMG Medical and AMG Medical Associates; Aaron F. Dupont, individually and as an officer of AFD Advisors and AMG Associates; CAL Consulting, LLC, of Georgia (aka Clinacall); Charles A. Lamborn, III, individually and as an officer of CAL Consulting; and Park 295 Corp, of New York.
Canadian defendants are 9262-2182 Quebec Inc; Stephanie Scebba, individually and as an officer of 9262-2182 Quebec Inc.; 9210-7838 Quebec Inc; and Fawaz Sebal, also known as Frank Sebag, individually and as an officer of 9210-7838 Quebec Inc.

**Love Love Love** this Canadian magazine!!!
That is a great magazine. Regarding that apartment with the painted Pier One screen behind the bed:
I have that issue of the magazine. The other rooms in that apartment are painted a shade of periwinkle or royal blue. I have been trying for MONTHS to figure out which shade of blue paint is on the walls in that apartment. If anyone knows, please comment. Thank you!
I constantly do this to change the look of my room. Right now, black. Later, who knows?
kirstin: bring the mag to your paint store and have them match in directly from the picture :)
omg, please someone tell me about the black lamp/lampshade in the pic with the yellow chair! love...
good idea!
Paint... the poor decorista's best friend.
why has canada become america's smarter older brother that i'm always jealous of :(

Brandon Travel Tips
Brandon Vacation Rentals Near Tampa
Brandon, Florida sits a short ten miles from the bustling city of Tampa in West Florida. Brandon offers small-community suburban living with easy access to big-city life. With the myriad of beaches and attractions in the Brandon area, vacationing is ideal for people of all ages. No matter what your interests, a Brandon beach home stay is ideal for getting some rest and relaxation mixed in with a lot of fun. The Brandon vacation rentals that are available allow you to bring the comforts of home to your vacation, such as a private home with plenty of amenities.
Brandon Beach Homes Make Vacationing Fun
Renting one of the Brandon beach homes for your vacation allows you to mingle home-style living with your beach vacation. Renting a private home is not the same hassle as having to cram your entire family into one small hotel room. Where else can you run in from the beach, throw together a lunch in a fully-equipped kitchen then back out to enjoy the Florida sunshine? Brandon vacation rentals allow you to mix with the locals while retaining your private times for your family. The cost savings can help you stay within your vacation budget, as well. Cut down on eating out or running to the laundry mat to clean your clothes; many of the available vacation rental properties have washers, dryers and fully stocked kitchens.
Activities are Steps Away From Brandon Beach Homes
Beach activities are not the only entertainment Brandon has to offer to vacationers enjoying the destination. Brandon is also home to Westfield Shoppingtown, which offers over 900,000 square feet of shopping. If you're vacationing in Brandon in April, the Brandon Balloon Classic is just steps away from your vacation rental. You may see more than 50 hot air balloons from all over the country at the two-day annual event. A trip to Disney in Orlando is a 90-mile drive from Brandon while Busch Gardens is about ten miles in nearby Tampa. Revel in the beach or explore the town. The convenient locations of Brandon vacation rentals give you options.

How much do you want to know Ryan Gosling? How much do you want him to father your children? How much time do you spend fantasising that hes your boyfriend/husband/soulmate? Not as much as me. I need to be detained. I die. GODLING GODLING GODLING
Basically, it would be lovely to have dinner with Ryan Gosling wouldnt it? Sadly, only his friends, family and the lucky Eva Mendes get this opportunity. Press probably do, but im not quite there yet. To achieve this fantasy scenario at home, simply select your favourite image of Ryan, tuck in a cloth near the neck line, sit him at the table with you and gaze. For those who suffer with imagining things vividly, you could go through some of Ryans amazing movies and record lines from them on your phone, then attempt to have some sort of fake conversation with him. Try to avoid war films as this just isnt a realistic conversation; plus the sound of explosives would even put me off my inevitable feast of melted cheese and various meats.
p.s- only do this if you live alone or you have the place to yourself. There is no way this can be easily explained.
I want to work out with Ryan Gosling. Hang on. WHAT AM I SAYING?! I dont want him to see me sweating, suffering and er..panting. What an awful word. I definitely dont want that. Lets just go for a drink instead.
Blue Valentine sent me totally insane. I sat and watched in silence, after my friends had prevented me watching my all time favourite man on screen for months saying, 'trust me, you're not ready.' Looking back now they were right. This movie is too heavy. Not only did it make me go all gooey over people that i shouldn't have been, it made me crave the kind of love that you would throw yourself off a cliff for. Then it made me realise that doesn't happen, and really, love is all just shit. Sorry but what good comes of it?! After watching this i believe it isn't a real emotion. Its more happiness and infatuation mixed with the fake urges people get to 'settle'. People just settle for comfortable and easy. Love is a risk and NOBODY wants to take a risk do they? Thats what this film is about. None of my boyfriends wanted to take it anyway. Should probably break out of just pairing up with Capricorns. ;-) I watched this about 7 months ago and it really stuck with me. Saying all this, Ryan. You are fit. And at least we got to watch you go down on Michelle constantly throughout this movie and we could imagine what its like.
I dont even know why i bother, what else can i say? Everyone thinks im sad, pathetic and alone. I am none of the above, i just think he is a stupidly gorgeous man. Ok? Cheers.
Dont just buy this movie for Ryan Gosling, buy it if being bored to tears and feelings of anxiety and desperation are sensations that you enjoy.
|Dean Pereira - 'Blue Valentine'
Men who like dogs- GOOD.
Men who like children- weirdly appealing.
Men who break up fights on the street- Not great, but Ryan made it work.
Oh Ryan. Ryan Ryan Ryan. Stop being in shit films. I need to view you daily and i like hearing you talk and seeing the awkward side smile you always do.
(i try to do that now but i get too nervous and break into full smile. Annoying.)
Ryan Gosling- The ONLY positive thing about the movie last night. Crazy Stupid Love didnt look great. I'll be honest. It did have Steve Carrell in it, (and anything he's in has to be funny right? Wrong.) and of course, the Gosling is the dream. The number one. The favourite. The star of 99% of my bad dreams. The plot was revolving entirely around Steve being a bit of a geek, being made cool by Ryan, getting with loads of women, and then…getting back with his ex wife. We didn't see that coming either. Ryans character is basically exactly how you hope he would be in real life- charming, cocky, suit wearing, good in bed and has the creepy lines that you know deep down he uses on an hourly basis, but that annoying part of the female brain convinces you that he really means it. Ew. Anyway, he wasn't in it enought at ALL. I was so anxious and bored that Amy and i started having boderline nervous breakdowns in the screening. Delirious laughter, prang attacks, popcorn scoffing through sheer boredom and clock watching. Which you should never do in a movie. Amy also nearly died because Ryan took his shirt off and she hadn't taken a breath for a good two minutes. My jaw ached because i was sat open mouthed. The man next to us loved it for some reason. He was clapping, cheering and basically being disruptive (jeeez Em lighten up). I fear i will never be as happy as that man. Thats what scares me the most.
Tonight is Ryan Gosling night. Like most nights. Tonight is different because I venture to the cinema to watch him rather than sat at inch away from the TV at home, often in tears, sexually frustrated and only noticing that my mouth is open when it starts to dry up and get locked. Vile. Tonight we drink diet cokes, get comfortable, watch trailers (who DOESNT love the trailers?! Especially so close to Halloween) and then enjoy the Ryan. Then home for a long discussion, which will probably result in the conclusion that we might as well jump from the balcony because life isnt worth living if he isnt our boyfriends. Sad. Any Cineworld Westferry staff who might see this- I just want to let you know that I am in stable mind, and am fine to watch the film alongside everyone else.

Sheryl Crow makes her move into a new musical genre this week: her first country album, Feels Like Home , hit stores on Tuesday. And while Sheryl has dabbled in country music here and there, she says she was still nervous about fully entering that world, since in the past, some rock and pop stars had tried the same thing without much success.
"One of the things that made me really nervous about making a country record was seeing so many artists come over and try to capitalize on the loyalty of the country fan base," Sheryl tells ABC News Radio. "But ultimately, the fans decide."
Sheryl says she was encouraged by the success that two pop stars have had in the country field recently: Hootie & the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker and Kelly Clarkson . Darius now a full-fledged country star, while Kelly's done so well that on Tuesday, she was nominated for Country Music Association Awards' Female Vocalist of the Year trophy.
"Darius definitely is embraced and Kelly, too, for how great they are, and we've been really encouraged to see people embrace this record," Sheryl says of Feels Like Home . "I've had so many people come up to me and tell me specifically by name which songs have meant something to them. And that, as a songwriter, is just such a gift -- to know that whatever you're writing actually is resonating and, in some ways, helping other people."
It's interesting that Sheryl has moved from the pop field into the country field almost 20 years to the day that her debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club -- the album that made her a pop star -- was released. It came out August 3, 1993, and featured her Grammy-winning signature hit "All I Wanna Do."
Asked what the biggest lesson she's learned in the past 20 years has been, Sheryl says it's how, ultimately, music isn't quite as important as she thought it was. What taught her that lesson, she reveals, was surviving breast cancer.
"Really, after breast cancer, I was reintroduced to the idea -- that I always adhered to in the beginning -- which was just to love what you do and stay out of the outcome," she tells ABC News Radio. "There were a couple records in there where I felt just an immense amount of pressure to deliver, and when I was diagnosed I felt this profound shift in my life."
What she learned, as she explains, is that "My life is my life and music is something that I do and I enjoy it, but it's not necessary to my health." She adds, "It really was a liberating, epiphanal moment for me."

Couldn't make it out last night? You missed English synth-pop uno La Roux at the Commodore. Stef Watchman was there and caught a moment of the show on Instagram. Here's your concert pic of the morning. La Roux at the Commodore Ballroom on September 18, 2014. Thanks Stef.
You'd think that pop legend Elton John would be beyond caring what the critics think by now, right?
Well, apparently he still reads the reviews. Even before they get in the paper.
I wrote a pretty damn glowing online review of the Big E's show at Rogers Arena last Saturday (September 13), tacking on a complaint about his choice of encores. I didn't care for the way he went all Disney on our asses by ending the night with those sappy tunes from The Lion King, "Circle of Life"/"Can You Feel the Love Tonight".
Live Nation has announced that Vancouver-based indie-rock group Mother Mother will play a show at the Orpheum Theatre--with guests USS (Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker)--on Saturday, December 13, in support of its fifth studio album, Very Good Bad Thing.
The Juno-winning group--comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Jeremy Page, and Ali Siadat--has been one of Canada's most aired acts on the alternative-radio charts for the past two years.
Todd Kerns, recently declared to be "the Most Rockin' Canadian Bassist of the 21st Century", performed with his band SMK&C (Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators) on the Howard Stern Show yesterday.
That's a long way from his birthplace of Estevan, Saskatchewan.
If you're the type of diehard Rush freak who thinks who've seen everything the band's ever put to video, get ready for this.
The Canuck prog-rock legends announced today that, on November 11, they'll be releasing a 10-DVD/6-Blu-ray collector's boxed set which also includes all eight songs from a show in 1974 at Laura Secord Secondary School, featuring original drummer John Rutsey.
Bet you weren't there for that gig!
Couldn't make it out last night? You missed the New York-based Interpol at the Commodore. Diana Villarreal was there and caught a moment of the show on Instagram. Here's your concert pic of the morning. Interpol at the Commodore Ballroom on September 15, 2014. Thanks Diana.

Thirty years ago today—on Sept. 13, 1984—KISS released its 12th studio album, Animalize. Although it wasn't exactly classic KISS, I do seem to recall thinking that the single "Heaven's On Fire" was alright.
The album was unique in "KISStory", as Gene Simmons might say, because it was the only one to feature guitarist Mark St. John, who replaced Vinnie Vincent in April of '84 but would be forced to leave KISS by November after being diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome, a severe form or arthritis. St. John died in April of 2007 at age 51 from a brain hemorrhage bought on by an accidental overdose of methamphetamines.

Fax: 785-738-3410
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
People of the
Legion of Mary
Church History
John's Schools
Diocesan Website:
German immigrants who
settled in the Solomon Valley near Beloit established St. John
the Baptist Catholic Church in 1852. By 1898, the walls of the
original small stone church were bulging and were held together
only with the help of a steel rod. It was Monsignor Michael
Heitz who decided a bigger and better church was needed. In
1899, he secured the well-known architect Joseph Marshall of
Topeka, Kansas, to draw the plans.
For two years, farmers
quarried and hauled limestone to the church site. From professional
stonemasons, Msgr. Heitz learned to dress stone himself so he
could instruct parishioners who contributed their help.
Completed in
1904, the church was built around the old church in
the form of a Latin Cross. It measures 150' long and
74' wide at the front (south) entrance. The nave (middle
body) is 61' long and 66' wide. The transept (forming
the arms of the cross) is 87' long and 34' deep. The
church walls have a thickness of 24". The towers
are 22' by 22'.
Original plans were
for the towers to rise to a height of 112', but because it was
decided that the extra height would add too much weight, the
towers are only 100' tall, 108' including the crosses adorning
each tower. As work progressed around it, the old church was
torn down in March 1901.
Monsignor Heitz
said St. John's was the first church in the USA built
with flying buttresses and a ceiling entirely made of
stone. It was, at the time, the largest church west
of the Mississippi River.
The post rock
church is trimmed with Indiana limestone. At the arched
main entrance are six granite pillars in three colors.
Inside are eight
huge Vermont granite pillars bracing the high arched
The Stations
of the Cross are cast in plaster in a type of raised
figure known as "bas-relief." These are beautifully
and realistically designed.
The new Mass
altar, side altars, lecterns, and Communion stations
are also of imported Carrara marble.
Monsignor Heitz
knew of an outstanding church artist from New York, Gonippo
Raggi, who had decorated churches in the dioceses of New York
and Boston. Raggi studied at the Academy of Santa Lucia, Rome
and earned renown for his designs and paintings for St. Cecilia
across the Tiber in Rome. Monsignor wrote to him, describing
what he desired for decorating the sanctuary.
Gonippo Raggi, assisted
by his brother, Palamedo, completed work on the sanctuary paintings
by Easter 1913. The paintings represented the "Birth of
St. John the Baptist," "St. John Preaching in the
Wilderness," "His Trial before Herod," and finally
"His Head on a Tray Being Presented to Salome." The
brothers came back in June to do the transept paintings.
In 1923, the brothers
returned to paint the remainder of the church walls and designs,
some of which have been covered up with subsequent remodeling.
It was on this return trip that Gonippo brought St. John's parish
a tremendous gift -- two huge canvas paintings, which even today
grace the south walls of the of the church.
Monsignor Michael
Heitz was the man whose vision and leadership inspired
the creation of this marvelous church. He showed a parish
of mostly German and Irish descendants that united effort
could produce what they first thought impossible.
St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church was placed on the National Register of Historic
Places on April 14, 1975, by Congressman Keith Siebelius. This
registration was achieved through the efforts of Helen Louis
Ross, Louise Matheis and Father Henry Kieffer. These people
performed the necessary rsearch and established required facts
and references.

I honestly spend more time reading news and blogs about WoW than I do actually playing it.

Nina Katarina said...
If this site was ever blocked from my office network productivity would go up several hundred percent around here. So shhh, don't tell anyone.
Mr. Tastix said...
This. But sites like WoW Insider have taught me a lot. I even learned about things like Wowpedia (WoWWiki at the time) and MMO-Champion via WoW Insider.
Honestly? I've probably learned more from websites than from playing the game itself. Playing the game shares it's own experiences but it's less important when everything can be calculated and predicted.
@Nina Katarina:
You'd think so, wouldn't you? I can't get to anything directly WoW-related from work (WoW Insider, Elitist Jerks, Wowhead, Wowpedia, WoWWiki...). However, I can reach quite a few forums. And at the one I'm most active on, the longest threads in the history of the forum are the general WoW discussion ones. And guess where a lot of my posting is done? :D
All jokes aside, I wish that was the case. Sadly our school has some BS blocking system that blocks every single site that has meta search texts (the ones that search engines uses as keywords and all that) about "game, gaming, mmo, social website, tech news(yes, tech news blocked in tech school, go figure!), proxy sites" and all that. Oddly, facebook works but not any flash games in it (maybe because teachers are in facebook too..hypocrites).
Gladly its pretty weak for someone who knows something about computers (basically it seems to be simple program to rip money off from people who think it works).
Just go to google translator and translate the site and "show original".
Bam, thats that.
You can thank me later.
Given how simplistic yours sounds, they usually miss other methods like SSH tunneling and anonymizing proxies too, which at least once configured give you the option for uninterrupted browsing.
I've had some success just changing the IP address of the machine too - a lot of these things are only applied on specific IPs, leaving the staff/teacher machines to go their own way but are not segregated properly at the netwokring layer to prevent a simple change from circumventing the whole thing.
Major Caveat: in these ridiculous times you can get into major trouble for "hacking" even if you are doing something as simple as guessing at an unprotected path in a browser or guessing the admin password because they left it as the default (or set it to password etc.) - just because the "security" is dumb or essentially non-existent does not mean you won't get into trouble for circumventing it anyway. Common sense does not apply.
woshiernog said...
Same here, but mostly because I stopped since I got my Rogue up to 85 in January and I haven't even seen Twilight Highlands yet :( But I usually go on while I'm having lunch. I'm sure even I do end up not playing anymore, I'd still come on. Yeah, it's that good.

[b]Hudson's Hideout[/b] definitely had an interesting view, but one that should be taken seriously.
Sadly, I've met many a WoW player that loathes PvP, Arenas, BG's etc., but cannot get enough from PvE. They actually even detest the players of PvP, so much so that when they come into BG's, they do nothing to help win, but criticize PvP players about their 'welfare' epics.
Suprisingly, there are PvP players who ENJOY BOTH PvP and PvE and have SETS OF GEAR FOR BOTH. So the unbiased claim is trolling at its best and should be kept to the Trade Channel and not in BG chat.
One of the things that has irked me from WoW's inception is that Blizz is notorious for making FANTASTIC games. WoW PvE is innovative and has netted them over 11 million players. Before that SC, D/D2, and WC all were great franchises with excelent games. I just don't understand how in some of those previously metioned games, the multi-player versus (PvP) were really really enjoyable, even if they weren't OVERLY rewarding. I would play WC3 over bnet for hours, simply b/c I really enjoyed the strategy and the only thing I ever got from it was a unique icon.
What happened? Why could WoW PvP work out this way to provide just as entertaining a time as its PvE. I enjoy the PvP thoroughly, but I will heartily admit that it could use some work.

Most aspiring entrepreneurs think they need to follow a specific path to build the next great company. This isn't necessarily the case. Generally speaking, the best entrepreneurs share common traits and expose themselves to many different experiences that help them develop the necessary skills to effectively lead a company. Some of those experiences may occur over time at prior positions held at various companies. Usually, it's not something that is the result of an internship or entry-level position.
In most cases, industry experience provides an entrepreneur with a framework for establishing domain expertise, key relationships and, most importantly, knowledge of the pain points in the market to which a new business could respond. Typically, it's very difficult to establish this know-how without working in the industry. For instance, if you had your heart set on opening a fashion line targeting a specific customer, it would be very difficult to get the business off the ground without having industry contacts and product knowledge. Even more, due to a lack of industry knowledge you won't necessarily be able to easily differentiate between strong and weak candidates when hiring your first few employees. As most entrepreneurs are aware, the first few hires can make or break a new company.
While it's certainly difficult to successfully launch a business without industry experience and knowledge, it's still possible if you have resources, surround yourself with the right people and have already developed key leadership skills. For instance, in the news we often hear of established CEOs being hired that lack specific industry experience. Specifically, a CEO of a financial services company may be named the new CEO of a consumer products enterprise. While the CEO may not have a specific background in the consumer product market, he or she still has the management, communication and financial skills to lead the company. Thus, work experience in general matters when it comes to developing a strong set of skills to lead any company. This would not necessarily be the case for someone that is right out of college.

I say that if you want to get rid of Christmas, then remove it as a Federal Holiday. See how well that goes over. I still feel sorry for all those children of athiests. Normal kid: I got this great toy for Christmas! What did you get? Athiest kid: Err, nothing, my dad does not believe in it, I still got Halloween candy though. Christian kid: Here, want to play with my toys, we can share.

Cafe Steinhof has been our home away from home since they opened. It's a great place to hang out, come for music or movies, and the food is absolutely delicious. Try the chicken paprika, or the souerbraten (pot roast) with red cabbage, everything has a ton of flavor, and the service could not be nicer ! I recommend the amazing chocolate custard or the Linzer Torte for dessert. The Sour Cherry Martini and Elderblossom drinks are outstanding and quite unusual. Nice European beer selection as well.I give it 5 stars.

This place is GREAT for what it is. The price is right, the food is great and the atmosphere is relaxing. I go here all the time. Get the chocolate custard if you know what's good for you. ~DLewis

I wanted to like this place, but everything my girlfriend and I ordered was overcooked or dry. We started with the pate, which was very dry. Next up: Bratwurst. The sausage tasted like it was from a package of Hillshire Farms and, worse, it was completely lacerated and dry (when you make a bunch of incisions and then cook it, the meat dries up). My girlfriend's trout was also completely dry and devoid of taste, but the side of greenbeans were cold and undercooked. We had intended to order the Linzer torte, but the prospect of dry cake was too offputting. Service was friendly, but slightly inept. When the waitress accidentally spilled some of my beer on the table as she was serving it, she apologized and then walked away - without cleaning it up. I cleaned it with my napkin, which was no big deal, but then she never offered me another napkin. All in all, this was a big disappointment. If you want authentic Germanic food, go to Loreley.

I detest "German food," but I love the food you get in Berlin, and I rather like Steinhof. At least for brunch, it's more Neue Gallerie than Thomas Biesel - and the ambiance is uncrowded and mellow, if a teensy bit hipper than my usual scene. I found the elderflower spritzer delicious.

Steinhof has to be one of the best places in the south slope. I'm vegetarian and even though there isn't a huge selectioin the Rosti, Cheese Spaetzle and Avocado Sandwich are all great. The even better thing about Cafe Steinhof is the vibe. A nice conversational bar with live bands and films and stuff going on.

Or in other words: For schnitzel lovers. If you're craving some good ol' German grub, this is the place. It's casual and cozy--a great hangout. Just don't expect a whole lot from the spotty menu. Vegetarians may have difficulty. Good beer selection.

Thread: fire photography
fire photography
this is for anyone with photography skills.
i was thinking about becomming the dept photographer, and i was wondering what settings are best for capturing the moment. now i know that each picture is going to be different, but what is going to be my best aptures and shutter speeds? should i use a higher speed film?
2 cents...
Here ya go. There is a guy out of Southern California named
Troy Case and he has to be one of the best fire photographers
in the USA. You can call him direct and check out his work
at- http://www.troycase.com/php-cgi/gallery/index.php
Fire Photography is NOT something you are just going to pick up overnight....
First of all, your equipment can make you or break you. Having good quality, tip-top shape cameras and accessories will assist you in taking those split-second shots so common on the fireground. I use Nikon, for first and foremost, their glass. Nikon lenses are unbeaten in quality and durability, especially when you consider all the hostile environments you encounter on the fireground. I have two bodies, an N-6000 and an N2, both motordriven. My primary lenses are a standard 40-90mm adjustable, and a 7-210 Telephoto. I find that this lens works best for 90% of all fireground shots.
Every fire photographer I know does his or her own thing, and works differently than the other guy. I personally set my camera on full manual mode- especially for night time fires- The lighting dynamics change SO much at night fires, an automatic focusing/aparture selecting camera would blow it's microchips trying to keep up. Auto focus cameras want to focus on the brightest object 90% of the time- You may be trying to take a picture of the flames in the window, but it will focus on the quartz lights on the pumper.....Try to get a camera with a built-in light meter, one you can see through the view finder.
For film, I use Kodak 800 or 1000 for night shots. Along with the night film, I also use a Nikon 800 Flash unit, powered by an auxilary "hip pack" battery pack. This allows more power to be delivered to the flash faster, allowing for an instant recovery time for the strobe power unit. Day shots I use 100 or 200. For apparatus shots, I use Kodachrome 64 Slide Film."Loyalty Above all Else. Except Honor."

If you go to www.thewatchdesk.com/forum, you will find under their General Fire Department Discussion forums a section for fire photography. There is a quite extensive thread on photo info which should interest you. You may also want to contribute to that thread.
In a previous thread we discused digital photography on the fire ground, lots of relavent stuff there.
I have to say, digital is the way to go. You can instantly review your results and adjust the camera to get the perfect shots without burning a week's salary worth of film.
Personally I'm shooting for a Canon EOS-1D______________________________ __________________

I've basically tossed my film SLR, and am using an Olympus C-750 ZLR 4.0 MP w/ a 10x optical zoom. This gives me the full range of manual options, with a dang good zoom lens. It has a hot shoe, and the lens has a fairly low f-stop. When I can afford it, I'll go get the new Pentax IST-D dig SLR. In the meantime though, this $500 ZLR works well on the fire scene. I'm pretty rough on my equipment, so this compact lil' camera is kinda' nice!
I generally use an ambient light setting, and hold the exp. settings. Flash is usually for fill only. Oh, and when I used film, it was Fuji 200 Superia.....all the time.
Now if only I could figure out how to shoot pics while I'm on the nob.....
Edit: BTW, one of the great things about dig is you have a much greater exposure latitude w/ dark shots. You can bring out alot of detail in the dig darkroom that you cant' w/ traditional film.

small world,
troy is my skydiving buddy.
p.s. he is really good, i was taking forensics photography and he was very helpful. check him out.
You might also try joining a professional organization, like the International Fire Photographers Association (www.ifpaonline.com) or the International Organization of Fire Photographers (www.firephoto.org)...But I'll definitely agree with the others in saying that it takes lots of practice, and you have to find what works for you...Remember KQJ943
