The shoot was stalled due to some technical glitch. He looked at her trying to decipher wad was happening. This was not a part of the act. He saw her eyes were moist. Suddenly realization struck him. He approached her but she ran off from there and went towards her vanity van. He ran after her. This was supposed to be the most memorable night for him, wasn't it? He had decided dat he would confess his love for her. And now�he came out of his thoughts�nothing was going to stop him�he was determined to say it and he would and she would HAVE to listen to him. She entered her van and was about to shut the door wen he placed his hand at the door. She tried with all her might to shut it. She DID NOT want to talk to him�at least not now! She was hurt. She gave up trying wen his strength overpowered hers'. He forced open the door and she was pushed back a few steps. She looked at him and stormed off inside. He locked the door behind himself and followed her in. He spoke softly�
Shahid: Pranks�
She put her hand forward gesturing him to stop
Shahid: listen to me�
Priyanka: leave�
she said shaking her head.
Shahid: please�It's a misunderstanding�it's not what you...
Priyanka: just leave�
Shahid: but why�
Priyanka: don't you know?
It was more of a statement than a question.
Shahid: it's really not wad you are thinking�his eyes started to well up
Priyanka: it won't make a difference�.
She cut him off again
Shahid: oh really? It won't?
Priyanka: y- yes it w- wont�
She stuttered
Shahid: then tell me one thing...y are you crying?
She just looked down and didn't say anything�
Shahid was losing his calm�
Shahid: for god's sake answer me�
he said banging his hand on the table, not realizing that there was a knife there and it cut his hand..he winced in pain and looked at his bleeding hand�she immediately got the first aid box and started dressing it up�he hissed a little but wen he saw the concern in her eyes, the pain vanished�he kept looking at her...she got up wen she was done and stood there crossing her arms across her chest�he came out of the trance and got up..
Shahid: it makes a difference�
Priyanka: no!
Shahid: atleast don't lie to yourself�
Priyanka: I am not lying! You, or for that matter anything you do doesn't even make the slightest difference to me.
Shahid grabbed her by her hands and brought her closer�
Shahid: does this make a difference?
He said looking deep at her�his tiny eyes piercing her big ones.
Shahid: does this make a difference?
He said moving a strand of her from across her face and tucking it behind her ear� he spoke in an almost inaudible voice
They both were breathing heavily�she hated him�she really really hated him�but the biggest problem was that she loved him!! The closeness was melting her but she was determined not to lose control...she managed to shake her head without looking at him. He pulled her even closer. Their faces were inches apart, their hot breaths' hitting the other's face.
Shahid: why are you doing this? Y is it dat wen I am hurt, you feel the pain� he said showing her the wound�wen I am this close your heartbeats race...wen I am around, you know it�
She looked down
Unable to control his temper he shouted�
Shahid: I am not going away without knowing your answer�so u better answer me DAMMIT!!!!
He said the last words literally shaking her�

The early morning sun rays enter d room through the window�shahid enters the room n smiles to himself on seeing the scene in front of him�his wife's face is slightly lit due to d sun's rays�priyanka is in deep sleep when d rays hit her eyes�she turns towards the other side so that her back is facing the sun�she opens her eyes lil n luks at him smiling�she gestures him to come near her n again dozes off to sleep�he walks towards her n sits next to her�she gets up n places her head on his lap�he softly kisses her on her forehead and she blushes a lil�

Priyanka: abhi toh di (laughs)
Shahid: nooo I want the other one� (Makes a puppy face)
Priyanka: subah subah you started with your romance (giggles)
Shahid: now is there a fixed time for that?
She blushes slightly�
He comes near her�.just then they hear shayanka crying�they both roll their eyes�the kids have started with their mischief�they get up n walk towards the kids' room�
Priyansh is still sleepin n shayanka is on the floor crying�
Shahid runs n picks her up�
Shahid: kya ho gaya meri angel ko?
Shayanka: (in her kiddish tone) bhiyya ne muje giladiya
Priyanka walks towards them..
Shahid: ab rona band karo...aur bhaiyya ne kyu giraya tumhe??
Shayanka: who main bhiyya ko school ke liye utha lahi thi toh unhone mude dhakka de diya�(and cries)
Priyanka takes her in her arms�
Priyanka: ab rote nahi hain�aap toh good girl hona�she kisses her on her cheek�
Shayanka loves the attention she is getting and suddenly forgetting she was crying she says in a cheerful voice
Shayanka: gooodd monin
They both laugh�the junior drama queen of the house changes her moods so quickly!! Yes junior drama queen�senior drama queen is her mom!!
Shayanka runs out of the room n goes on the ground floor of their sea facing pent house..she starts playing with her toys�shahid n priyanka wake priyansh up n then come down�they smile on seeing shayanka�.this girl is ever so energetic�jus like her mom�
Priyanka picks her up and they sit on the table where shahid and priyansh are waiting for them�
Priyanka sits with shayanka on her lap�she knows that this girl will spoil all her clothes if she is made to eat on her own.
After breakfast the kids and shahid go to the lawn outside to play football�its gonna be a fun filled day�Priyanka just watches them play�she doesn't like to get all messy�she watches them and can't help but giggle..shayanka is just running around clueless�shahid can become a real kid with the children...after the game the kids go swimming in the pool and shahid goes to priyanka�
He sits next to her�and smiles extra sweetly..
Priyanka: no, don't even think about it�
Shahid: chalo na please�.
Priyanka: no I will get all wet
Shahid: arre par� (Makes a puppy dog face)
Priyanka: haha this won't work�now go!
He gets up and walks ahead
Priyanka thinks to herself while picking up a magazine "ek do baar aur puch lete�"
He overhears this�he turns and swiftly picks her up�runs towards the pool and throws her in and then jumps in
All this while priyanka was just giggling and laughing�as soon as they are in the pool she starts with her drama..
Priyanka: arre I told you na I did not wanna come�look now I am all wet�
He moves towards her just looking at her eyes�
She notices this and just freezes�she also luks into his eyes�
He holds her by her waist and moves a strand of hair from over her face�she closely her eyes..
Shahid: toh tumhe nahi ana tha?
Priyanka: woh main..
Shahid: woh main kya?
She is now melting but manages not to show this to him�
He loves the way she is reacting�suddenly their moment is disturbed when the kids at the other end call out to them�he doesn't let her go off..
Priyanka: shaks leave me..the kids are watchin..
Shahid: so..?
Priyanka: so wad�wad will they think?
Shahid: yahi ki our parents are so romantic�(smiles mischievously)
Priyanka laughs n hits him on his hand and pushes him away and swims towards the kids..
Shahid also goes there and they all start playing�splashing water on each other�later they all go n freshen up and shahid makes some lunch�gosh how much he pampers her!
After dinner the kids play around in their house. Shahid priyanaka decide that since he is home after so long they should all go out for a ride�and off they go�on their way back they pick up some food as everyone was tired�after dinner they both go to put the kids to bed�after the kids sleep they both just sit there smiling..they wanna live every moment together to the fullest�priyanka looks at shayanka and smiles...he see's her and knows what she is thinking..
When priyanka was pregnant for the 1st time they both had argued day in and day out over the names they wanted the baby to have...priyanka wanted to name the kid sasha if it is a boy and he wanted a girl and would name her priya�eventually after a lot of bickering they decided that the girl would be called shayanka and the boy would be called priyansh�both the names were thus formed taking a part of their parents name..
End of flashback
Priyanka: she looks just like you�.
Shahid: and priyansh looks like you�(he continues) but he is so innocent whereas shayanka is so naughty and her drama�just like you!!
Priyanaka: main drama karti hun? (in her dramatic tone)
Shahid: lemme think�..ha...he laughs..
Priyanka throws a pillow at him�they both laugh�he picks her up and takes her in their room..she places her head on her chest and just dozes off to sleep..
He puts her on the bed n switches off the lights�it was a beautiful day!
Next morning�shocking that priyanka is already up..she goes down to make breakfast�in the kids room shayanka gets up and runs towards her parents room�she see's her mom is not there so she jumps on the bed and starts to wake her dad up..she sits on him�
Shayanka: papa uthooo
Shahid: sone do na angel
Shaynaka: nooo uhtooo�
He doesn't reply�she keeps hitting him but he doesn't wake up�eventually she gets tired but still not the one to give up she decided to give one last try
Shayanka: oye shaid kapuuulll uthhh�
First he smiles at her "shaid kapuuulll" den he gets up with a start
He holds her and tries being angry
Shahid: apne papa ko naam se bulati hain badmash�
Shayanka makes an innocent face and he melts on seeing her lyk that...he smiles and they both go to wake up priyansh�after he is awake they all have a pillow fight�
Priyanka hears all the noise and wonders what all the commotion is all about�she goes up and smiles to herself on seeing the scene in front of her but suddenly her drama takes over�
Priyanka: yeh kya halat bana rakhi hain tum logo ne room ki subah subah�
All of them sit on the bed quietly�
Priyanka: aur itna shor kyu kar rahe ho�
All 3 of them: sorry mummy�
She looks at shahid and says: mummy?????
He realized his folly n bites his tongue�
She continues: now all 3 of u get up�shayanka tum niche chalo...priyansh go get ready for school�aur tum( looking at shahid) tumhe shoot pe nahi jana?? Time dekha hain?
All three of them get up and at once do as they are told�while she was leaving the room they giggle�
She turns again and says: ab kya hua??? Has kyu rahe ho??
They all put their hands behind their backs like innocent kids and look down and she gives them a look and walks off
Everyone comes down for breakfast...they all try not to irritate priyanka any more not knowin wad she was thinking�
Priyanka thinks to herself: ek baar chila kya diya yeh sab darr gaye...achha hain ab roz aisa kiya toh mere ghar mein shanti toh bani rahegi�she laughs�
All 3 of them look up at her and she just gets up n puts her plate still smiling�
Shahid calls the kids near him n slowly whispers: aaj tumhari mom ko kuch ho gaya hain thoda sambhal ke rehna�
All 3 of them laugh�then they see her and shut up while she wonders what all 3 of them r upto�
Shahid then gets up to leave...he takes his car keys n is going towards the door when shayanka comes running towards him�she stretches out her arms so he picks her up�
Shahid: kya hua angel?
Shayanka whispers something in her ear and he laughs�
Meanwhile priyanka n priyansh also come there�
Priyanka: kya bol rahi hain yeh?
Shahid: kuch nahi�this is between me and my daughter� (looks at her) right??
Shayanka: yess
Priyanka rolls her eyes: kuch shaitani ki na toh�
Shahid: kya tum bhi har baar�hum toh itne sweet and innocent hain�
Priyanka: sab pata hain mujhe�ab jana bhi hain ya nahi?
Shahid: main subah se dekh raha hun tum mujhe bhaga rahi ho�kahi mere jane ke baad�(smiles naughtily)
She spanks him on his arm�he laughs and leaves�
A while later priyansh also leaves for school and priyanka gets back with her work�shayanka keeps interrupting her work again and again�
Priyanka: arre bacha mumma is working na �please don't disturb me...go play with your toys�
Shayanka goes up and starts playing�
It was afternoon by now and time for priyansh to come back.
Priyanka goes up to see shayanka sleeping on the floor and the toys are scattered on the floor. she picks shayanka up and puts her on the bed..she then goes down and waits outside the gate for priyansh�as soon as he comes she hugs him�
Priyanka: hi bacha school kaisa tha?
Priyansh: achha tha mom�thak gaya hun�
Priyanka takes his bags and holds his hand and they go inside�
Then she asks him to wake shayanka up and they all have lunch�
Its evening�
Priyanka is helping priyansh with his homework�
Shahid was supposed to be back early today�he had promised them he would so shayanka's eyes are fixed on the door�she is just like her mother who is also doing the same thing�as soon as they hear a car entering the gate they both scream "he's here�."
Then they both run towards the door of the house�
Shahid smiles on seeing his 2 angels. he quickly hugs priyanka and then picks up shayanka�
Shayanka: papa mele liye kya laye?
Shahid: kuch nahi�
Shayanka starts checking his pockets�
Shahid: arre beta isme kuch nahi hain�
Priyanka: arre u leave all this go freshen up and come down fast
He puts shayanka down and is going up�priyansh stops him
Priyansh: dad aaj dinner ke baad?? (winks)
Shahid understands and nods smiling and goes up.
He enters the room and turns to close the door when he see's shayanka standing there�he smiles�she knew he had to bring something for her.
He picks her up n gives her a peck on her cheek: kya hua?
Shayanka: (with her drama) aap mele liye kuch nahi laye?
Shahid: arre aisa kabhi hua hain ki meri angel mujhse kuch mange aur main na lau?
She smiles and puts her hand forward and closes her eyes
He removes the chocolate he had got and places it in her hand�she quickly opens her eyes and smiles on seeing it
Shayanka: chockkatte�.thank you papa�
she hugs him�then opens the wrapper
Shahid: arre abhi nahi�mummy ne dekha toh chillayegi
So she puts it in her pocket and runs out
After a while shahid comes down to see shayanka hiding under the table and crying�he gets worried and is about to approach her when he hears priyanka shouting�
Priyanka: subah se itni baar kapde change kiye hain fir bhi masti masti�ab kaha chali gayi�
Shayanka runs and hides behind priyansh�
Priyanka see's her
Priyanka: waha kya kar rahi ho? Main tumse baat kar rahi hun toh yaha aao�priyansh knows she is scared so he holds her tiny hands and takes her towards their mom�
Priyanka: kya zaroorat thi pani ka glass leke bhagne ki�ab tod diya na? pani toh giraya hi par lag jati toh?
Shayanka is still sobbing
Priyansh: mom dato mat na use please�dekho already she's crying�
Just then priyanka notices shahid
Priyanka: tum logo ke lad pyaar ke wajah se hi itna sar pe chad gayi hain�ab chalo upar change karne
Shayanka: noo..i will go with papa(she says in between her crying)
Before priyanka can say anything shahid comes and takes shayanka away n pretends to not noticing the angry looks priyanka was giving him�he knows she needs to calm down�when they leave priyansh approaches priyanka
Priyansh: mom kuch bolu?
Priyanka: ya bachha say
Priyansh: aapne shayanka pe bahut zyada chillaya
Priyanka knows this was coming and tries to control the tears from falling down her cheeks and fakes a smile
Priyanka: I know�main bas bahut thak gayi thi and then this happened and I removed my frustration on her
Priyansh: its ok mom�aap uspe abhi mat chilana toh who theek ho jaygei�he hugs her�he just knew she needed this�she smiles�her son understands her so well at such a young age�
At the dinner table everyone is quiet�shahid tries his best to lighten up the mood but nothing has worked so far�shayanka is sitting on his lap today�she is still scared to go near her mom�priyanka knows what she has to do�
Priyanka: shayanka come here
Shayanka gets scared�she tightens her grip on shahid's hand
Shahid: baccha mumma is calling you�
Shayanka: nahi jana mude�
Priyanka: kyu (she fights back her tears)
Shayanka: aap muje maloge
Priyansh interrupts: no shayanka mumma aapko nahi marenge�he smiles�so she gets up and slowly walks around the table still holding shahid's hand�she now even holds priyansh's hand�priyanka bends down and picks her up and places her on her lap�shayanka unwillingly lets go of the hands she was holding so firmly
Priyanka: bachha mumma ne aapko bahut data na�(shayanka nods)�I am sorry
Shayanka at once smiles and hugs her mom�not being able to hold back the tears ther both sob a little and shahid and priyansh look at each other and smile.
Shahid knows something is up wid his pranks�its somethin else botherin her�
Dey were done with their dinner n shahid n priyansh decide its not the right time for any nonsense today so d kids are sent up to sleep�
D door bell suddenly rings n priyanka opens the door to see the watchman�shahid too comes from inside the house

Erik! Take my hand!
#charles' mouth when Erik gets on top of him
I KNOW - that gets me every time. Yeah sure, no subtext. Whatever.
#let's not forget his face when they're done
If you think about it though, Erik is most likely holding them up by the metal parts on their suits… so was it even necessary to lay on top of Charles to hold him down?
Answer: No. And yet…
The more I see this post on my dash, the more people find new Cherik-is-Canon facts in it. Let's not forget, for instance,the way Charles immediately grabbed Erik's wrist. :3
I think we could write a whole book about it. Thank you and keep up the good work, my fellow shippers!
It's in our official Friendship Contract that I have to reblog this scene for fourteenacross every time it crosses my dashboard, just like she has to reblog the gunplay scene for me every time. We're totally selfless like that.
My texts are being used as infographics, now.
I'm so proud.

The multicultural, multimedia centennial legacy project, "I am Arizona Music" at the Musical Instrument Museum explores a century of uniquely Arizonan musical traditions.
Cowboy Music
Arizona musicians contributed significantly to the iconography of the "wild west." Movies and recordings featuring the work of Arizona artists helped satisfy the craving for stories of the open range.
Arizona Musicians
Music lovers 16 to 60 are likely fans of Arizona's wide range of popular musicians. Celebrate the careers of the Father of Chicano music, "Lalo Guerrero," jazz trombonist Russell "Big Chief" Moore, and rock icons Duane Eddy, Linda Ronstadt, Alice Cooper, and Stevie Nicks, and find out how Calexico's tunes are inspired by the Arizona desert.
Music without Borders: Waila, Mariachi, and Tejano Music
Variations of traditional Mexican music have been evolving in the region since before Arizona gained statehood. Though these distinct sounds share Latin roots, they all capture a different side of the Arizona Experience.
Dr. Roger Angel of the Steward Mirror Lab explains the process of casting mirrors almost three stories tall!
Watch Lalo Guerrero play a medley of old favorites, including "No Chicanos on TV."

MERRILLVILLE | Perhaps outgoing Merrillville schools Superintendent Tony Lux's most outstanding quality over his nearly 30-year career was how he faced the challenges of a changing school district and community, managed to maintain good test scores and fostered harmony and friendship among an increasingly diverse student body.
As Merrillville's population has transformed the past three decades to include a black majority, so has the school district changed, with minority students now comprising the majority, which Lux said required him to focus on the district's diversity and embrace it.
Lux is retiring from Merrillville Community School Corp.on June 30 after 29 years with the district. He served the first 10 years as assistant superintendent to former Superintendent Robert Shrenker and the past 19 years as superintendent.
Over that time, Lux worked to develop a respectful, successful relationship with the school Board of Trustees, teachers and administrators. He knew the names of many students and their parents.
Under his leadership, Merrillville's school district has become one of the most diverse school corporations in the state, a so-called minority-majority school corporation, while also maintaining high academic standards.
Lux said the 2012 ISTEP-Plus passing percentage for students in grades three through eight combined are the highest in the history of state testing at the school looking back 20 years.
Merrillville High School is the only large minority-majority high school in the state that received an A grade with a 90-percent graduation rate. The high school also has been identified as a model school. Other Merrillville schools that earned an A from the Indiana Department of Education are Salk Elementary and Miller Elementary schools.
Salk Elementary also was selected as the Indiana Title I High Achievement for 2011 school and has been nominated as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2013.
Merrillville High School and Salk Elementary were recognized by the Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color. The organization commended the schools last month for successfully preparing young men of color for the future.
Making a success of diversity
Lux remembers a time when there was a racial incident at the school soon after he took office. There was a community meeting following the incident in 1994, and Lux said the district had to look at what path it was going to take.
"We had a conversation about what people wanted for their kids," he said of the public meeting. "Everyone wanted the same thing — a good environment for their children and a good education," he said.
"We went through years of training with our teachers and administrators to understand different values and cultures," he said, sitting in his office for an interview. "Over the years, it became our strength rather than our disadvantage."
Lux said he has welcomed the chance to address the issue of race at public meetings with community groups throughout Northwest Indiana.
"When race is involved, people have a tendency of making generalizations and stereotypes, but our kids graduate and go to Big 10 schools and Ivy League schools, and they do well," he said.
While Lux said the district does not have problems with graffiti, gangs and racial strife, he said it does deal with serious issues that crop up in the community and carry over into the school day.
All eight of Merrillville's schools have been renovated to provide up-to-date energy efficiency and learning environments with state-of-the-art technology.
Another example of the district's success is the 115 people who applied for a handful of administrative openings, Lux said.
Lux said the next generation of leaders now taking over at the school will be under the leadership of longtime Assistant Superintendent Mark Sperling, who becomes the new Merrillville school superintendent July 1.
Lux said he has no regrets as he leaves office.
"It's been a dream career for me," he said. "I am proud of the staff and what we have accomplished here. The only regret is not being able to stem the tide of people moving out of town. You want to see Northwest Indiana overcome those fears of diversity. It's going to happen in every community."
For his outstanding efforts in the school corporation, his ability to speak out in a frank, supportive way about school issues to leaders in Indianapolis and all his other accomplishments, Lux was presented the Sagamore of the Wabash award last week during a party in his honor. Local legislators also named him an honorary member of the Indiana House of Representatives.
"It was very humbling," he said. "The success of the school system begins with the School Board. The board members don't have personal agendas. They approved policies and direction for the school district, and administrators implemented those policies. This district focuses on the four R's — rigor, relevance, relationships and resilience."

After suffering from continued chronic hip pain after 2 surgeries, my friend suggested I see Hadley for acupuncture. Hadley's gentle touch and calming bedside manner relieved my fear of needles. I noticed a decrease in my hip pain after the first treatment, and after 8 treatments, my chronic pain was gone and continues to stay away after 4 months. Not only that, but I had more energy and have been sleeping better than I have in many years.

Snow buries Derry budget
The public works budget comprises four major line items for snow and ice removal, according to Public Works Director Mike Fowler.
Before the latest storm, the town had spent more than budgeted for the DPW employee overtime and contractor plowing line items, but was under budget for materials and diesel fuel, according to Fowler.
Overall, the town had $548,274 budgeted for snow and ice removal for fiscal year 2013 and has spent $594,573.
"The current storm will likely add another $50,000 by the time it is completed, but those invoices will not be processed for a few weeks," said Fowler. "The town makes an attempt to budget responsibly for an average winter. Traditionally, the snow and ice budget has been around $600,000, but the budget for fiscal year 2013 was reduced by approximately $50,000 recognizing that we had a healthy stock of salt in our shed to start the season."
Once the final numbers are in, Fowler said he will review the bottom line budget of all the DPW divisions.
"The first place we look to cover the overage in the snow and ice line would be from other line items within the DPW budget, which may include postponing a roadway paving job until the following fiscal year," he said. "Beyond those measures, we could ask the Town Council to use funds from a dedicated snow and ice reserve fund established for those purposes."
The current balance in that account is just over $100,000, Fowler said.
There is also a chance FEMA could reimburse 75 percent of the costs from winter storm Nemo in early February.
"We have provided preliminary information to FEMA," he said. "If a disaster is declared for winter storm Nemo, Derry stands to recover between $90,000 and $110,000.
Fowler said he is confident the department will be able to balance the bottom line once the final invoices have arrived.

Sean Penn
I'm not going to lie. I've probably only watched several of his movies, even though they've always been well received by critics. What I admire about Mr. Penn here, is the fact that he has gotten himself so involved in social/humanitarian work. He has done so much for the people that suffered from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti Earthquakes. Rather than being in the press for his dating conquests or DUI's (Lindsay Lohan get your act together!), I read about him in other news publications on what trips he is going to around the world in order to do good.

Is it football season yet? I will have to ask that question every week until kickoff in August. Right now, all we get to hear about is police reports and coaches kissing pigs. We at least have the spring games going on, giving us a chance to speculate on how our teams will do come Fall.
Let's get to the news —
1) Not just college football players, but all college athletes can be glad UCONN's Shabazz Napier told everyone he was hungry all the time. That comment set off a chain reaction that now leads to players getting unlimited meals and snacks from the universities. It's a good change in the rules and a step in the right direction.
I'm sure players still want to get "paid," but free food is nice. I know some schools were already doing things like this for players and remember a few times when I would wander around my favorite team's locker room — where there was a snack table always set up or a Gatorade machine with unlimited drinks.
Now, I guess, schools can make it official and feed the players all they want. Good move on the free food — everyone always likes free food! Former Kentucky QB, Jared Lorenzen jokes that he wishes that rule was made while he was in college. He was a BIG quarterback in college and is still playing QB at more than 300 pounds. Can you guess which one he is?
2) How do you agitate your school's rival during the off season? You� spray paint your logo on their field! The rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina is already intense on the field, but fans like to do things like this, to take it up a notch during the off-season. I'm sure Spurrier will make a remark like this: "I guess that Clemson logo is the only time Clemson has looked good on our field, especially since we have beaten them the last 5 times."
You and I both know Spurrier will get the fan base going and get everyone jacked up for the game in the fall! It's always interesting to see how schools get back at their rivals in a fun — and funny — way!
3) Is Nick Saban really that good? Well, a lot more people will think that since one of the NFL's best Quarterback, Peyton Manning, visited Alabama to "become a better player," while there. If that is not a great recruiting tool, then I don't know what is.
Imagine walking into a recruit's house and you say, "Peyton Manning comes to me for advice, that is how good we do things here at Alabama!" The rich just keep getting richer in college football. Alabama will have its hands full this year without a proven quarterback to lead them into the fall — and no penalty to slow down the game.
I wonder if Saban had Manning give them a pep talk for the upcoming season. It never hurts having a student of the game such as Peyton Manning around, giving advice to your team.
With all of that out of the way, we still have Oregon's spring game to look forward to. I'm excited to see the offense and see the next group of Ducks ready to run all over the PAC-12. This is the year for Oregon fans to get really excited about. It is the playoffs, so even one loss could still get the team in!
On top of that, we have not had much news about paying athletes, unions, or major players being arrested this past week … so overall it was a positive week. If you want a good laugh then watch this video making fun of the SEC and their "Bag men."
1. Penn State coach cries
2. Kyle Allen leads Aggie nation

On the Way to the Top
- Tuesday, July 20, 2004
You know the feeling. You gaze at your own reflection for a split second too long, and the image starts to become unnervingly unfamiliar. You notice details of your physical appearance you had never seen before, and the questions start: "Who am I? How did I get here? Why am I here at all?"
Rob Beckley has asked those questions. He's had those moments when he wondered where his life, his relationships and his career were going. And out of those moments, he mustered his talents, creativity and calling and redirected those questions into song.
"Anytime I say the word 'you' in a song, it's basically me talking to me," says the lead singer and lyricist for Pillar. "Some people might take it as me talking to people, telling them they need to look at themselves in the mirror. But the song 'Staring Back' is actually me staring in the mirror, seeing a different person than who I really am."
Another question in the life of Pillar — which also includes guitarist Noah Henson, bassist Michael "Kalel" Wittig and drummer Lester Estelle — comes in the form of the title of its latest project, "Where Do We Go From Here." It's a valid question in the minds of the band and its fans, considering the extreme ups and downs the group has faced during the past couple years.
That rollercoaster ride began with the 2002 release of the band's landmark record, "Fireproof," and the hit single by the same name. "Fireproof" was the Kansas-born, now Oklahoma-based hard rock outfit's second effort for Flicker Records. When both the album and single started gaining momentum, the mainstream rock world took notice; and, truth be told, the band felt ready for that to happen.
"We did everything we possibly could to prepare for that album coming out," says Kalel, whose nickname rings in honor of Superman's Kryptonian birth name. "We had a good feeling about it, and we knew 'Fireproof' was a strong song. Our drummer at the time, Brad Noone, said, 'If this song isn't a hit, there's nothing more we can do.' We felt really confident about it."
"We wrote 'Fireproof' on Sept. 11 [2001] in Green Bay, Wis., in a youth room in some church with the TVs going all morning long," Rob remembers. "I already had the lyrics done, so it wasn't an influence; that was just the day we happened to write the music. When we finished it, we knew the song was going to be awesome; and with that, it sort of eased some of the tension in writing the rest of the album."
"Fireproof" sold more than 100,000 copies by the time mainstream label MCA got involved with the project, licensing the record from Flicker and re-releasing it in the fall of 2003 with a remix of the single and a cobbled-together bonus DVD of live performance footage. The single made it to No. 39 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and the album reached No. 6 on the publication's Heatseekers retail chart. Fittingly, the band picked up some publicity in magazines, including Rolling Stone and Hit Parader and found themselves opening for some of modern rock's heaviest hitters.
"We got to do some cool shows with Korn, with Sevendust, another one with Trapt and some mainstream festivals," Kalel says. "We got just enough mainstream exposure to stick our foot in and see what it was like. But we've never talked like, 'Hey, we're gonna go mainstream and do this or that.' We just kind of did what we do — go play our shows and go through the doors that opened up."

Breakfast in Roseville
- b
- bohemianclub Aug 27, 2012 08:34 PM
We're looking for a nice local restaurant in the Roseville area to take an out-of-town guest for breakfast. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank y'all very much.
I'd venture into St. Paul (just across the border) for the Colossal Cafe or go just a bit further (across the river) for an awesome breakfast at Birchwood Cafe. Keys is fine, and I like the Lexington & Larpenteur location best, but the others have better food. Keys has monster portions, though.
Pippins does a wonderful job (651) 639-0633. 2905 Snelling Ave N ). They have home made rolls and allot of great choices. Its in little canada but also http://tasteofscandinavia.com has a cafe in little canada2900 Rice StreetLittle Canada, MN 55113(651) 482-8876). You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Both are awesome choices
Another vote for Colossal, if you don't mind ordering at the counter. Keys is always reliable. I would look at The Good Earth if they like a healthier breakfast...it is such a nice, peaceful vibe in there.
Roseville is such a wasteland of chain restaurants which is disappointing because I live near it.I would just go to the Egg and I on University ave @ 280,or bight the bullet and head to Grand Ave or Highland Park.I know its no fun going through all the stoplights south of the fair area to get over to Grand ave or Highland Pk,but thats what I would do.I stopped going to keys over 5 yrs ago.Dont waste your time there.If you insist on Roseville,go to Byerly's.
re: shikken
the challah french toast at Byerlys is pretty good.
re: shikken
Byerly's is solid but oh, so dull...and if you are 60, you will be the youngest one in the place.
re: Brad Ballinger
Good Earth has my favorite pancakes of all time - ten grain with rainforest mix, real butter, real maple syrup. I'd been out of the area for over ten years, and recently was able to have a couple meals at the Edina location. The pancakes were as good as ever, and no complaints on the fish dinner I had, either (trout?). The Veg. Joe's Eggs was another breakfast favorite of mine.
re: Brad Ballinger
Yeah, good suggestion. They have nice omelets.
re: gildeddawn
Also, the freshly-extracted juices are a great addition.

When I feel unhappy or lost, I always try to make my way home.
It's good to be back, Tumblr.
Photos by Jewels Sison...
While "almost is never enough" (Ariana Grande), I almost got exempted for Microbiology. And while my sembreak could have started one day...
Last night, my dad was having a hard time buying flowers for the tombs we were going to visit today. He felt that the flower arrangements sold were a bit pricey. *kuripot mode* Just to make things easier (and cheaper) for them, I volunteered to make the flower arrangements myself and just have them buy the flowers sold by dozen.
To be honest, I was a bit pressured (Oo, pressured talaga ang term) because I really had no idea how to make flowers come together and look presentable for a tomb. I saw the florists around and observed that they just insert the flowers in the "sponge" (I'm not really sure what that green thing is called) until they came up with a certain presentation. It looked easy, but being somewhat "artsy", I don't want to disappoint my parents and of course, myself, with the outcome of the flower arrangements I'll be doing. I can be really conscious in certain artsy stuffs I do because they I believe they speak for me.
Anyway, before starting with my "task" for the All Souls' Day Celebration, I gathered some green leaves from our yard and was lucky enough to find a certain type of flower species which was fitted to be the centerpiece of my flower arrangement. It was so pretttty and I don't even know what it is called! But it is indeed pretty, don't you agree? :)
What we were able to buy from last night were some Chrysanthemums, violet baby's breath flowers, and some others which I can't identify. Haha! Sorry!
Anyway, I started with a positive attitude hoping that everything will turn out fine, presentable, and of course, worth the time and effort! Thankfully, God did not fail me with this "work of art". I was able to finish 3 arrangements in almost 2 hours. Yeah, kinda slow but every second was worth the trial and error. The plus factor was it turned out unique! Not just like those flowers almost everyone is bringing. (I am starting to be proud here.Hehe)
Here are snaps of my products for the day -
Even my mom was happy about the results and started joking that I can already have a "flower arrangement" sidelinebusiness next year! How supportive! haha! 200 pesos for this, take it or leave it? :) Pwede???
Maybe this post can inspire you to have a do it yourself flower arrangement for next year or even when you have special occasions to attend to. Why not?! A little experiment won't hurt. Plus it can also unleash your inner creativity. And also, this can be therapeutic, having created something can make you feel good! Obtaining a sense of achievement! ;)
And if you're wondering how much I spent for these? around 350 pesos for everything! It pays to have greens in your backyard, no need to spend on leaves! ;)
Something productive which made my sembreak a bit worthwhile.
Happy Long Weekend everyone!:)

Staring raced in European Stock 1000 in 2012
By Matthew Birt -
27 November 2012 13:42
Casey Stoner's retirement from MotoGP hasn't left the premier class without an Australian rider on the grid after Bryan Staring was confirmed as the surprise pick for the Gresini CRT ride.
Staring took three wins in the FIM 1000cc Superstock series last season and he will ride the FTR-Honda CRT bike for the Italian-based Gresini squad.
Gresini was forced into the rider market when Italian Michele Pirro accepted a role as Ducati test rider for 2013.
At one stage it looked like Gresini might hire former BSB champion Ryuichi Kiyonari, with rumours at the end of the season that the Japanese rider could be used to help develop a new production RC213V 1000cc machine that Honda plans to sell in 2014.
But Staring has got the ride and he said: "Racing in the MotoGP class has always seemed a very remote, practically unattainable. Now that I have a real chance to race in this championship with Go & Fun Honda Gresini, it's is almost unbelievable...a dream come true.
It's the greatest opportunity of my career and I will be giving it my best. I know I still have a lot to learn and I will put in all the effort it requires. I have to thank Fausto Gresini and the team sponsors who have given me this opportunity. I cannot imagine the excitement when I first get on the bike."
Gresini will again field one Honda prototype for Spaniard Alvaro Bautista and his CRT project, which features a British designed chassis from FTR and Ten Kate-tuned CBR1000RR motor.
Pirro scored four top 10 finishes on the bike last season, which included a best CRT result of fifth in the final race in Valencia earlier this month.

Dr. Stephen Tsui Receives the Sony Electronics Faculty Award
Dr. Stephen Tsui, assistant professor in the Department of Physics, is one of four CSU faculty members to be honored this year with the Sony Electronics Faculty Award for Innovative Teaching with Technology. This award is made possible by the CSU Office of the Chancellor and Sony Electronics, Inc., in partnership with Intel Corporation. It recognizes four early career CSU faculty members, acknowledging their current and potential innovative use of technology in delivering quality and affordable education to their students and encouraging continued achievements in teaching that leads to student success.
There is an explicit and thoughtful connection between Dr. Tsui's use of technology and the goal of making students more successful in his class. Dr. Tsui uses a "flipped" classroom approach to teach introductory physics. Rather than making a video of himself giving a lecture, Dr. Tsui uses a stylus on his iPad with the app Explain Everything to teach lessons that are uploaded to YouTube for students to watch as their homework assignments. During class time, the students collaborate in small groups to solve problems on a small whiteboard. Their work is photographed with a digital camera outfitted with an Eye-Fi memory card and uploaded to Flickr where all the students in the class can review the work and leave comments for discussion. Data was collected on the students' use of the photo archive and the results were published in The Physics Teacher, a peer-reviewed and widely read teaching journal. Also, by facilitating a classroom environment that does not use a traditional textbook, Dr. Tsui is achieving a substantial cost savings for students. In another class, Dr. Tsui's students use iMovie to produce animated movies that demonstrate the motion of objects. The students' movies are shared with the entire class on Vimeo, for comment and discussion.
Dr. Tsui is to be congratulated on receiving the honor of this prestigious award and is to be commended for his innovative use of technology to engage students and facilitate student success.

Critiquing the canvas of the spring/summer 14 catwalk, Dan Thawley considers the choppy courtship of art and fashion.
Related topics
Nearly four hundred years ago, the Renaissance philosopher Sir Francis Bacon told us that "fashion is only the attempt to realise art in living forms and social intercourse", in a shockingly prescient statement of the intertwining evolution of the two disciplines. Fast-forward to 2013 and that social intercourse has exploded into a myriad of associations, both high and lowbrow, which continue to divide critics as to the value of art and fashion's endless dalliances. From the face-value approach of art prints on garments (be that T-shirt or ballgown) to the deep exchanges of visual and cultural gravity that pass, from time to time, between artists and designers, one must approach these partnerships with perspective in order to divine their true value – whether purely aesthetic or something much more.
The spring/summer 2014 runway was an intriguing signpost for this rocky romance, amidst other recent events that have highlighted a relationship that seemingly teeters between equal parts catalytic and parasitic. There is no denying the tremendous creative forces that have collided of late: be it Roman Coppola signing commercials for Prada (and her, costumes for The Great Gatsby) or Dior's Guggenheim soiree in honour of artists Christopher Wool and James Turrell. Cindy Sherman is rarely seen out of a Marc Jacobs dress these days, and the upcoming Bacchanalian beach romp of Miami Basel will surely oust a slew of other art-world names draped head-to-toe in next season's silhouettes. The point being, art and fashion have become all too familiar bedfellows, and as often as not for commercial gain. It is interesting in many instances to observe how, like young lovers, the two still remain somewhat naïve to the other's true nature. Certain gestures are immediately transparent, clumsy, forced. At times they raise the question: "Is one not strong enough to stand alone that it requires the other for affirmation?" When, however, they meet with wit and audacity, fearless abandon and lusty obsession – that is when true magic happens.
"It is interesting in many instances to observe how, like young lovers, the two still remain somewhat naïve to the other's true nature."
Raf Simons is one fashion designer whose lifelong fascination with art, design and humanity has remained a constant and welcome leitmotif in his work. He did after all, begin his studies as an industrial designer, and has made news of late for his extensive collection of French ceramics heading to auction in Paris in December. For Dior's winter show, he had their resident DJ Michel Gaubert string together an eerie musical sequence of the artist Laurie Anderson's spoken word performance pieces, creating a clinical atmosphere as the models floated around a silver mylar tent, their 'memory dresses' adorned with original Warhol fashion illustrations. For his own menswear line for next summer, Simons invited guests out to Larry Gagosian's satellite gallery at Le Bourget airfield outside of Paris, seating everyone amongst the mid-century architectures of Jean Prouve and mobiles by Alexander Calder. The artworks didn't correlate directly with the garments, but rather amplified their vivid colour stories and graphic lines. It didn't need to be any more literal.
At Chanel, Mr. Lagerfeld's message was also colour poetry, albeit a little more cutting – and with the clothes aside, culminated in one of the fashion calendar's most controversial and intelligent statements. He called it Chanel Art, and played upon the very institution itself with a monumental installation of phony contemporary artworks each modelled in the spirit of various schools of artistic thought. All the references were there – be it a whiff of Ai Wei Wei, Anselm Keifer or Jeff Koons, all emulated in large-scale, often glossy artworks which lined the catwalk and matched the rainbow-coloured cocktails and patisseries which prefaced the equally Technicolor silk-swatched gowns. Models wore giant pearl headphones and carried paint-splattered backpacks or quilted folios, adding further literal fodder to the theme of art itself. In his ultimate stab at the art world's very own circus, Karl even placed red 'sold' dots on several pieces, further questioning the value of his artificial Chanel 'artworks' against their authentic counterparts.
Mrs. Prada left clues to her Spring '14 artistic liaisons with a series of post card invitations, effectively previewing to buyers and editors the murals that would line the catwalk of her Via Fozzagaro HQ. Walls were painted by a hand-picked selection of international graffiti artists with names like Stinkfish, Mesa and Jeanne Detallante, in a project Prada entitled 'In The Heart Of The Multitude'. Ranging from flirty and feminine to dark like Dante, certain designs appeared on printed smock dresses or appliquéd into the graphic fur coats that Prada showed for Spring. The effect was at times comic, drawing comparisons to Jean Charles de Castelbajac's earlier designs, albeit with the sporty, geek-chic update of Prada's techy sandals and rhinestone bra tops – details that no doubt surpassed the thumping Britney Spears soundtrack for artistic merit. Worthy of note is Prada's own Fondazione in Venice where the designer and her husband Patrizio Bertelli choose to separate art and fashion entirely, dedicating the space to pure art exhibitions. At their recent show 'When Attitude Becomes Form' , the curator Germano Celant recreated a 1969 exhibition from the Bern Kunsthalle, in collaboration with the artist Thomas Demand and architect Rem Koolhaas.
Elsewhere on the catwalks, echoes of bygone art were unavoidable too, like the 'arte povera' reference of Italian artist Alighiero Boetti, whose work surfaced in Paris and Milan at Giambattista Valli and Jil Sander respectively. Valli, surprisingly, took the calmer route of the two, weaving Boetti's iconic alphabet tapestries into a white-on-white jacquard, while Sander chose to amplify his more colourful abstractions into a fractured camouflage print. Phoebe Philo also seemed determined to break the mould of minimalism that has underlined her time at Céline, with a collection bursting with paint-splashed coloured layering à la Antonio Lopez, in textural plays that she attributed to the work of Hungarian photographer Gyula Halasz, better known as Brassaï. She paired her fanning, shredded skirts and lurex knit polo's with brilliant accessories that toe the line between 60s futurism and Memphis pop art references, for designs which one may attribute to the world of industrial design more so than fashion. From the woman who's ode to the white shirt seduced a generation, the improbability of such an about-turn is a sure testament to this wider movement, one which seems destined to stick - continually evolving itself in both beautiful and grotesque alignments.

The long Fourth of July holiday weekend is coming to a close. With so much more of the summer to enjoy, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight a few things that we can do in this great weather.
First, enjoy the many trails and bicycle routes in and around our corner of the state. When you look at the Northern Indiana Regional Planning Commission greenways map of trails, the northwestern most corner of the state is teaming with trails connecting communities from Dyer, Highland and Griffith north to Munster, Hammond and Whiting all the way into the southeast side of Chicago.
More adventurous souls could find their way south into Schererville, Merrillville and Crown Point to points much farther south and east.
For those of us who remember the old days of navigating the side streets and busier arterials to get around the county, this is a boon and has opened the way for younger riders to get safely around without putting their safety at risk.
Along the way, you can see the world at a faster pace than walking but at a much slower pace than the typical 40-mile an hour zoom through traffic bearing down on you on both sides.
Many of those same routes are used by people coming and going from the festivals, markets, and celebrations throughout the summer, so keep that in mind as you travel.
A bicycle ride in the early morning could also bring with it a surprise. That is the time of the day when many deer are out and about, hunting for food.
It can be quite a sight to come upon a deer only a stone's throw away. They will generally take a little longer to move on because you are not posing the same threat that a one-ton car or much larger truck might.
Don't forget to make your way up to Lake Michigan or one of the other smaller area lakes. There is the vastness of Lake Michigan, which can overwhelm the senses, but there are also smaller lakes which can bring things down to a level mesmerizing by its tranquility.
A simple ride from Main Square in Highland to downtown Griffith can be just as inviting as going farther to Munster's Centennial Park or downtown Hammond and up to Whihala Beach.
Since school has let out we have struggled to get our children outdoors and away from video games. The only sure way to really get them moving, we have found, is to involve them in an adventure.
A fully aired-up set of tires, a bottle of water and a few dollars in the pocket could take you a few miles to a Dairy Queen or a hot dog stand all the way into the next town. You will discover a new world, just off the beaten path, complete with a way to get back to the main road. Put the bikes in the car and you can combine a beach experience with the trails as well.
The Indiana Dunes has its own complex web of trails, both paved and unpaved, right along the shoreline. Dunes on one side and lakefront just beyond the next rise. Who says we don't have enough to do in Northwest Indiana? All we need is a means of getting there and the imagination necessary to make it happen.
