Monday Morning Quarterback Week 2
The Good
The Bad
Green Bay PackersChicago Bears
The Packers bounced back from a Week One defeat and Aaron Rodgers stopped the bleeding. He did not have his best game but he completed 22-of-32 passes for 219 yards with a touchdown.
Jay Cutler was sacked seven times against the Packers and he threw four interceptions. While his offensive line did not help, Cutler was awful as he completed just 11-of-27 passes.
Buffalo BillsKansas City Chiefs
While he did not put memorable numbers on the board, it was a nice bounce-back game for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as he completed 10-of-19 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Cassel threw for 301 yards for the Chiefs.
While Cassel had respectable numbers by the end of the game, most of them were accumulated well after the Bills had taken control. Cassel could not assert himself until it was too late.
Carolina PanthersNew Orleans Saints
A great bounce back game for Cam Newton as he played in control and threw the ball accurately. He completed 14-of-20 passes for 253 yards with a touchdown and also ran for 71 yards and a touchdown. Even though Drew Brees played against him, Newton was the best quarterback on the field.
The Saints demonstrated an explosive offense and Brees threw for 325 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.
Cincinnati BengalsCleveland Browns
Both quarterbacks were sensational. Andy Dalton led the Bengals to the win and threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns. However, Cleveland rookie Brandon Weeden was nearly as good. He threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns and did not throw an interception.
Nothing to complain about with either quarterback, although the Browns would like more consistency from Weeden after a poor Week One showing against Philadelphia.
Indianapolis ColtsMinnesota Vikings
Another excellent performance by both quarterbacks. Andrew Luck recorded his first NFL win in his first home game. He threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns and did not throw an interception, while Christian Ponder threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns without a pick.
Ponder was slow in getting started as the Vikings were not able to put the ball in the endzone until the fourth quarter. The Indianapolis coaching staff got conservative in the fourth quarter with the play calling and that gave Minnesota the opportunity to get back in the game.
Houston TexansJacksonville Jaguars
Matt Schaub showed excellent leadership and passing skills in lead the Texans to a solid road win. He completed 26-of-35 passes for 195 yards and he did not throw an interception.
Blaine Gabbert was overmatched against the Houston defense. He completed just 7-of-19 passes for 53 yards and did not look like a solid NFL quarterback. He missed open receivers and finished the game on the sidelines as Chad Henne took over.
Arizona CardinalsNew England Patriots
The Cardinals pulled off the major upset because quarterback Kevin Kolb did not throw interceptions. He was 15-of-27 with one touchdown pass. Tom Brady threw for 316 yards.
Brady was under pressure for much of the game and he didn't seem to find his rhythm until taking the Pats on a fourth-quarter scoring drive. After throwing a TD pass to Rob Gronkowski, he missed on the two-point conversion that would have tied the score.
New York GiantsTampa Bay Buccaneers
Eli Manning's strength is razor-sharp play in the fourth quarter. He was at his best against the Bucs when he led the Giants to 25 points in the final period in a comeback victory. Manning passed for a career-high 510 yards. Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns.
Manning threw three interceptions, including one that was returned 60 yards just before halftime. Freeman threw two interceptions that hurt the Bucs.
Philadelphia EaglesBaltimore Ravens
Michael Vick was awful in the Eagles' Week One win over Cleveland but he was much better against the Eagles. He threw for 371 yards even though he was pounded frequently by the Ravens' defense.
Vick threw two interceptions, including one that stopped the opening drive of the game. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco could not follow up his solid Week One showing against Cincinnati with a second straight brilliant showing. He was 22-of-42 for 232 yards with one TD and one interception.
Miami DolphinsOakland Raiders
The Dolphins probably won't win a lot of games this year and rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill is sure to have problems. However, he was sharp against the Raiders, completing 18-of-30 passes for 200 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.
Carson Palmer could not find success against the Dolphin defense. He was just 24-of-48 and could not hit many of his receivers when they had a chance to make plays.
Seattle SeahawksDallas Cowboys
Rookie Russell Wilson made his first start at home a great one with the Seahawks dominating the Cowboys. Wilson completed 15-of-20 passes and did not throw an interception. He was poised and read the Dallas defense well.
After a great Week One effort against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants, Tony Romo never felt comfortable and was unable to rally the Cowboys after their poor start. He did not look like an elite quarterback.
St. Louis RamsWashington Redskins
Sam Bradford and Robert Griffin III both had excellent games and made this one of the most exciting games of Week Two. Bradford threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns. RGIII threw for 206 yards and a touchdown and also ran for two touchdowns.
RGIII demonstrated his big-play ability, but when the Redskins had a chance to register a comeback win in the fourth quarter they fell short.
Pittsburgh SteelersNew York Jets
The Steelers played with urgency after losing the opener and Ben Roethlisberger was once again a playmaker. He completed 24-of-31 passes for 275 yards with two touchdowns and he did not throw a pick. His 37-yard TD pass to Mike Wallace in the third quarter was nearly perfect.
Mark Sanchez fell to pieces against the Steelers' pressure defense. He was just 10-of-27 for 138 yards and was unable to give the Jets anything in the second half.
San Diego ChargersTennessee Titans
The Chargers once again can say they are getting high-level play from Philip Rivers after he threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns against the Titans. He led the Chargers to a 24-7 lead and the Titans offered little resistance.
Jake Locker was in over his head for the Titans. He was just 15-of-30 for 174 yards and struggled to find consistency.
San Francisco 49ersDetroit Lions
Alex Smith is doing his part to overcome the doubters. He was efficient and professional in completing 20-of-31 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. He was stellar in the Niners' 13-play, 79-yard drive in the fourth quarter that clinched the game for San Francisco.
In a duel of quarterbacks, strong-armed Matthew Stafford came out second best in the Sunday night contest. Stafford felt the pressure form the Niners' hard-hitting defense and he did not answer the challenge. His only touchdown pass came after the game was out of reach.

The event's production budget exceeds $35 million and this year's Kinetic Field stage also featured a 100-foot tall owl with animated wings surrounded by towering mushrooms and whimsical daisies.
Highlights of the first night included sets by Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, and Nicky Romero.
But back to the outfits … here are just some of the craziest looks we saw on Day 1 of EDC Vegas, 2013.

There could be a number of reasons why a couple would decide to buy a marriage licence and not to opt for marriage banns to be read. The main reasons are likely to be …..
Wish to marry in haste, groom may be leaving for overseas service in military
Marriage may be viewed harshly by society, pregnant bride, women marrying a much younger man, difference in social standing
Either the bride or the groom lived in another parish or were of a religion other than Church of England
The process of marrying without banns being read generated three documents. The first is an Allegation, a sworn statement made that both parties were free to marry, the second a Bond was lodged in the form of a contract usually signed by the groom or a family member which promised to pay a fine if it was found that either party wasn't legally allowed to marry. The amount of the fine was usually quite a large sum so this was not entered into lightly. The final document was the licence itself which was given to the bondsman who in turn handed it to the clergyman who was to conduct the ceremony. The licences could be issued by a number of church authorities.
This collection is of the Marriage Bonds 1557 – 1915 and is not indexed, but can be browse page by page. It is divided between the Archdeaconry of Norfolk, the Archdeaconry of Norwich, Dean & Chapter of Norwich and the Consistory Court of Norwich.

By Christian Zerbel, Herald Writer
Q: Your principal referred to you as "the epitome of thoughtfulness." Why would he say that?
A: I don't really know. I'm just the typical American teenager. But I try to stay positive and keep a smile on my face every day.
Q: Well, what are your hobbies?
A: I like to work on my El Camino, hunt, fish and play baseball. I'm the president of the Jam Club, and I'm in the Jazz Band at school. My friends and I also started a band called "Where the Sidewalks End."
Q: Let's break that up. First off, what's the Jam Club?
A: The Jam Club was started by the school librarian, Mr. Volkersz. It's really just a bunch of us, jamming out with drums, bass and guitars in a relaxed environment. We've played at the Evergreen State Fair and other charitable events.
Q: You're the president of the club?
A: Yeah, I was elected president freshman year. A bunch of my friends were in the class and we had a vote.
Q: The Jazz Band is a part of the school. How do you like it?
A: It's a great way to wake up in the morning. I show up three times per week at 6:30 a.m. Sometimes I'll have some coffee or doughnuts in the morning to get going. The Jazz Band is a great way to start the day and build up some energy.
Q: What's your favorite type of music?
A: Is there such a thing? I suppose, there isn't a time when I'm not in the mood for Jack Johnson. My musical taste ranges '30s music that nobody listens to, to new stuff. It just depends on what mood I'm in.
Q: What about your other band, "Where the Sidewalks End."
A: The name came from the Shel Silverstein poem. It's a few of my friends. I play the guitar. We played at "Battle of the Bands" at Glacier Peak last year.
Q: How'd you guys do?
A: We got third place.
Q: You're in choir at school. Do you sing for your band?
A: No, not really. We just like to mess around. Sometimes, we go play on a street corner. When passersby give us change, we take the money and go buy food. Then we donate the food to the Snohomish Community Food Bank.
Q: Why does your band do that?
A: Well, we play anyway. Why not help people while we're at it?
Q: Tell me about some of your other hobbies.
A: As I said, I like to hunt and fish. At school, I dress like everyone else, but when I get home I'm a true hick. Though, usually when I'm not playing music I'm working on my car.
Q: You enjoy mechanics?
A: Yeah, I'm really into old cars and trucks. Shop class at school is one of my favorites because I like to work with my hands.
Q: What else do you do for fun?
A: I didn't really do anything for my birthday this year. So a few days after Christmas, my friends and I went to the mall dressed in $5 Santa suits. We had our pictures taken with kids.
We yelled, "Seasons Greetings," and one parent brought their toddler dressed as an elf to get his picture taken. It was tons of fun.
Q: Owen, you seem like a very motivated individual. Do you have an inspiration?
A: I come from a very musical family. One of my grandpas, "Big Arn," passed away in 2007. He always pushed to motivate me.
He was a mechanic and played guitar, sort of like what I'm doing now. But he played with some big bands in his day, Merle Haggard, Charlie Pride, Conway Twitty and others. He was an awesome guy, always smiling and friendly.
My other grandpa, we call him Grandpa Herrmann, helps me through my musical journey. He played with big names, too. He played drums for Ray Charles and Quincy Jones Jr.
Q: What are your plans for after high school?
A: Well I'm split between mechanics and my music. I've heard WyoTech in Wyoming has a great automotive program. But I love music. It's a tough choice.

As per title, it's brand new with tags still attached and proof of postage from Kaden @ Muaewear. It was sent to me as a replacement as mines developed a small hole, but i've fixed it up so rather than have 2 identical gi's i'm looking to sell this on and get another.
It's £140 on Grapplers Delight at the moment, i'll take £100 for this one so a decent saving if you happen to be in the market for one! I can e-mail you pics of the actual gi if you wish, but you can find a load of pics including the size chart on the GD website: http://www.grapplersdelight.com/bjj-...on-kimono.html
Bit more info I found on the Muaewear facebook (https://www.facebook.com/muaewear):
Jacket : 550g/m2 Pearl weave
pants : 320g/m2 twill
rip-stop reinforcement inside of sleeve
round cord draw string
I'm in Glasgow and collection is fine, otherwise postage isn't a problem.

At the start of the year there was a lot of discussion about whether we'd ever get used to the peculiar 2009-specification cars with their bizarre front and rear wings.
So, has time made us more fond of the new-look F1 cars? How do they compare to the designs of previous generations? Have a look at them and vote below.
Which era produced the best-looking F1 cars?
- 1950s (3%)
- 1960s (12%)
- 1970s (7%)
- 1980s (11%)
- 1990s (27%)
- 2000s (35%)
- 2009 (5%)
Total Voters: 2,354
1950s: Front-engined brutes
In the 1950s drivers sat behind thundering great engines to which wheels were attached. The pilots then tried to trick these brutal beasts into going around corners, mainly by approaching them sideways.
1960s: Rear-engined cigar tubes
Those who think the coming of wings in 1968 destroyed F1 often point to the early-to-mid sixties as the time when the cars looked their best. With beauties like the Lotus 49 (below), it's hard to argue, although these look so unlike modern F1 cars it's hard to find points of comparison.
1970s: All things weird and wonderful
The 1970s was the final decade of great freedom in the regulations, and the designers dreamt up all manner of radical things: six-wheeled cars, ground effects and more. Cars appeared on slicks for the first time and soon they were sporting monster rear wheels too. This was F1's gawky, awkward, pubescent phase.
1980s: Turbo muscle
Awesome power, huge wings, and not too much in the way of sophistication. That defined the turbo monsters of the 1980s.
1990s: Lean and low
The decade that's probably going to get my vote, as much because of rose-tinted specs as anything else. Low, wide cars with slick tyres, but without the ungainly bulk of their 1980s predecessors. Lots of good liveries too – this generation produced the fantastic Jordan 191.
2000s: The aerodynamic age
For those who love clean lines, the winglet-infested cars of this decade were hideous creations. I never warmed to the narrow-track, grooved-tyre look, but the 2007 Monza-spec McLaren MP4-22s (below) were among my favourites from this time.
2009: Snowploughs and smooth sides
When the first of the 2009 cars started to appear we all gasped in horror. Half a year later, some of us have grown used to them and some haven't.
And I'm definitely in the latter group. I appreciate the winglet-free sidepods (although more and more of them are coming back as teams find ways around the rules) but the fundamental problem remains that the front and rear wings are massively out of proportion.
Which decade do you think had the best F1 cars? Post examples of your favourites – and least favourites – below…
Images (C) Mercedes, Ford, Ferrari spa, BMW ag, Renault/LAT, Sutton

Envato are heading to the Wild West! Well, the West of the USA. We're flying out to California for our two community meetups and we can't wait to meet all that can make it! Some of us will be following-up our community meetings with a trip to Arizona to attend the awesome PressNomics WordPress conference next week.
We've got Helen, Justin and Japh jet setting their way from Australia, and Lance is driving from Utah (road trip!). From your Community Team we have Travis making his way by plane from Canada, Carmen will be swinging her way out from the Nicaragua jungle, D'Zinc will be dancing the samba out of Brazil and I will be flying from Memphis, Tennessee. Phew! I hope someone is collecting all these air miles!
We'll be in Los Angeles on Friday night and then San Francisco on Monday night. Didn't RSVP or unable to make it? Fear not! We'll be dropping-by this forum thread as much as possible and using it as a mini blog for you to let you know what we're up to and who we bump into! Expect lots of pictures along the way and feel free to submit any questions to any of the team.
Buckle-up cowboys and cow girls, it's going to be an adventure!
An early start for me this morning as I head out to Los Angeles. I think I got the best part of about 5 hours sleep and I awoke at 5 a.m. and arrived at my local airport by 6:30 a.m.
You honestly cannot make this stuff up: While waiting at the gate for my first flight of my trip I heard something really familiar in the background. It took me a second but noticed that a TV advert was playing in between a show on CNN. The advert was for Flexon Eyewear and the music sounded so familiar! It quickly dawned on me that the track being used in the advert was none other than an AudioJungle track by AJ legend PinkZebra! The track is called " Larger Than Life". If you've never heard it, check it out. It features amazing vocals by another AudioJungle author called Benji Jackson.
I hardly ever watch CNN and I'm rarely at the airport, so what are the odds of me hearing that track at that moment in time?! A true testament and a sign of the times to the universal usage of the Envato Marketplaces around the world!
Congratz Pink! and I also have heard lotta AJ tracks in the TV commercials, programs and etc. Awesome!
That's awesome. Wish I could make it. My brother is out in LA. I sent him the info. Don't know if he'll make it. Have fun everyone!
Have fun,people!
See you some other time when in Europe
what a geat track ! + uncanny coincidence at the airport Scott
Have fun,guys!
Hi folks, checking in from LA. Excited to be here again and looking forward to meeting everyone. In the meantime, found myself this hypnotizing corner in the hotel to sit back, relax, and do some forum reading.
I wish I could be there… Have some good times guys!

Hello Phil! Sorry to hear you can't make it this time. No problem about sending over your brother as long as you continue the trend with a different relative each time we have a meetup. Looking forward to meeting Great Aunty Philomena in April 2016!

GOP leader defends changes to presidential primary process
Photo Credit: Getty Images
BURLINGAME, Calif. (AP) — Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is in California defending his party's decision to change its presidential selection process by shortening the primary season and cutting the number of debates.
Priebus told delegates at the California Republican convention Friday that moving the national convention to June and holding fewer debates are "not an establishment takeover" or a conspiracy.
The chairman also touted a key victory this week in a hard-fought Florida congressional race that is seen as a possible bellwether of November midterm elections.
Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink in a special election Tuesday that largely turned on President Barack Obama's health care law.
Priebus says the party went "full bore" in the contest, deploying a $35 million digital database to give Jolly the edge.

Quick question if someone wouldn't mind.
Do MMA shows still have rules meetings before hand that all fighters have to attend?
Quick question if someone wouldn't mind.
Do MMA shows still have rules meetings before hand that all fighters have to attend?
Any show that I've worked on do.
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Just wondering why there are rules meetings nowadays. Surely everyone knows what rules they are fighting under.
I always found it odd anyway when shows have a number of different rule sets and take the time to explain them to the fighters who surely should know them before agreeing to the fight. Then the paying punter comes in and it's announced as a amateur/semi-pro/C class/B class/A class/pro fight without any or very little explanation.
I can understand why they were held in the good old days as the rules seemed to change from event to event but are they really still needed?
yes. people are fucking retarded
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Many other good reasons like debut fighters neeed to be told before hand not to hold on to the fence. Ref gets to reinforce not to argue with a decision in the cage. Corner men told not to enter the cage at the end, until told to do so, after medics are in if applicable etc.
Mike "the mic" Persil
There are still differences in the rules from show to show, some use elbows some don't, some shows still use semi pro rules while others use amateur rules (unified, C class etc).
Its a chance for officials to introduce themselves to fighters and corners and for doctors, promoters and MC's to talk through their requirements and go through the running order. In my experience shows that don't have rules meeting tend to turn into a shambles with people not knowing what's going on.
Rules meeting aren't just about rules.
All pro shows where everyone is under contract tend to be slightly different as agreements have been made at the time of signing so everyone knows what they should be doing.
Yep, some people are just retarded.
Rob McCrum, Pro BW. www.bjjscotland.co.uk
I've seen a lot of rules meetings, but I don't think I've ever seen one where the entire unified rules are discussed point by point. In my experience, it's a chance for the refs to remind fighters of the professionalism that is expected of them, emphasise some often forgotten basics and give fighters a chance to ask questions.
It's also a chance to confirm the processes for wrapping hands, cut men, corners, gloves, medicals etc. With many of these being different from show to show, I think rules meetings are still absolutely an essential part of any event.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Some people are retarded and also some rules on shows are just made up half the time.
Can't remember what show it was but i remember one time as a rules talk was starting, the ref has a quick skim through the rules for the show and the look on his face was a sort of "are you for real" expression.

Behind the Cover: We Are Legends
That women will stop at nothing to artificially achieve the perfect silhouette is not breaking news. How they do it, however, is ever-changing. In the past, undergarments did the bulk of the work, from whale-bone corsets to Real Housewives–designed faux Spanx; women's waists have been nipped, tucked, and cinched underneath their clothes in every which way. But now, thanks to a slew of optical-illusion dresses hitting red carpets and runways, the dresses are drawing the curves.
At the Venice Film Festival in early September, Kate Winslet pulled off a seemingly antithetical miracle: Wearing a clever skintight shift dress from Stella McCartney's fall 2011 collection, the Oscar-winning actress appeared to be curvier and thinner. The secret to Winslet's dress was ingenious color blocking—black side panels gave her a high, tiny waist that, when added to the white panel around her bust, gave her an hourglass figure that'd turn Jessica Rabbit green with envy.
Winslet's not the only one to have discovered McCartney's magic: LaLa Vazquez sported the same shift dress on Live With Regis and Kelly this month, and X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger wore it on the cover of August's InStyle UK. (Even Gloria Estefan, left, chose it for an interview on Extra, but the loose fit hindered its considerable slimming powers.)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Super Cold?
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says league officials aren't just bracing for potential wintry weather at next year's Super Bowl. They're embracing it.
Bone-chilling cold is now blanketing the area where the 2014 game will be held. Goodell said in Manhattan on Thursday that football is made to be played in the elements. He says the league will celebrate both the game and the weather.
Goodell spoke as he and Mayor Michael Bloomberg previewed a week of New York City events leading up to the Feb. 2, 2014 game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
It will be the first Super Bowl in the New York metropolitan area.
New York's piece of the spectacle will include closing part of Broadway for a football fan festival.

This Christmas, Bob Kunze plans to be where he has been every Tuesday for the past three years: miles away from his family with strangers who are even a greater distance from their loved ones.
Kunze volunteers once a week at the Bob Hope USO at Los Angeles International Airport, where he welcomes U.S. troops and helps them make their way through the airport.
"We serve them because they serve our country," said Kunze, 51, of Simi Valley. "A lot of times we get thank-yous, and we say, `No, no, thank you."'
In 2010, Kunze was recognized for his USO work at The Volunteer Center's annual corporate volunteer awards banquet in Torrance.
The United Service Organizations, better known as the USO, is a nonprofit that provides programs, services and live entertainment to U.S. troops and their families.
The group also has centers in several U.S. airports to provide food and a place to rest for American servicemen and women between flights.
Kunze, who works as a manufacturing analyst for Northrop Grumman Corp. in El Segundo, volunteers at the USO at LAX from 2:30-6:30 p.m. every Tuesday.
His involvement with the USO started through a Northrop partnership with the group.
"(Northrop) gave four people a chance to see how the operations are like for one Tuesday and I volunteered to do it because you've seen the Bob Hope (USO) specials and, being a patriotic American, I wanted to learn more," Kunze said.
Tuesdays are when busloads of Marines arrive at the USO at LAX after graduating from basic training at Camp Pendleton north of San Diego.
On Kunze's first Tuesday, when he was there ostensibly just to observe, he got to work helping the Marines with their luggage and introducing them to the USO's facilities and services.
Amy Abramson, the volunteer coordinator for the USO at LAX, noticed Kunze's commitment and signed him up right away.
"He's very giving and cares passionately about the military and about helping, so he never says no," Abramson said. "He throws himself into whatever he's doing."
Abramson added that he is "very good at relating with the people who come in here."
One time, she said, Kunze might have actually saved a Marine's life. That Marine was limping badly with a gash in his leg. He also was running a fever.
"I thought maybe he has blood poisoning," said Kunze, who had previously worked as a licensed medical technologist. "I recognized the signs and I told my coordinator that I don't think he should go on an aircraft and he should get medical attention."
It took a while for Kunze to persuade the Marine to accept some medical attention from airport personnel. The Marine ended up staying in the hospital for a week.
"Bob basically saved his life because, if he had gone on a plane, he might have had a blood clot," Abramson said.
Kunze said he especially enjoys interacting with the troops and their families.
One time, he recalled, he was passing out Beanie Babies to the children of Marines. He asked two young boys what Beanie Babies they wanted.
One of the boys liked baseball.
"I reached in (the bag) and the first one I pulled out happened to be one of those baseball babies," Kunze said. "And the boy said, `Wow, it's magic!"'
The second boy said he liked basketball, so Kunze reached in the bag and pulled out a basketball baby.
"And he said, `Wow, this ismagic!"' Kunze said. "I sent them off with a smile on my face and it made my day."
Kunze helps in other ways, including "wrangling" baggage carts from around the airport to put in neat rows at the USO in preparation for arriving Marines.
He also helps raise money for the USO at fundraisers organized by clubs of Northrop employees. He has served as master of ceremonies at several of these events.
Kunze traces his respect for American troops at least in part to his father's service as an Army helicopter gunner in Vietnam and Korea.
"Vietnam wasn't a very popular war, and I'd hate to think they were not welcomed back as heroes to this country, which they are," he said.

Hey everyone ~ ! Victoria here !
Stan Lee came up with the series' basic plot, referring to the series and character as "A new hero for the 21st century".
Joey is an orphan living with his grandmother in Center City on the West Coast of the United States of America. Joey, like any other boy his age, is interested in robots and gadgets and dreams about owning a particular toy robot called a Heybo.
Heybos have very advanced mechanisms and controls but with great mechanisms comes great price; the robot is too expensive for Joey, whose only source of income is a part-time job at a restaurant and he needs that money to help support himself and his grandmother.
You either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.

One day, when Joey is on his way home from school, he happens upon a couple of bullies who are playing around with a Heybo. Long story short, the bullies manage to get the robot run over by a car and Joey retrieves the wreckage from a trash can. Once home, Joey fixes the robot and names it Heroman. Later that night, a thunderstorm results in Heroman getting wet and, improbably, struck by lightning. The result is amazing, Heroman grows massive in size, gets emblazoned with the colors of the American flag and responds to Joey's commands!
At the same time in space, an alien race called the Skrugg is preparing an invasion of Earth.
Now it's up to Joey and Heroman to save Earth!

In Letter 261 of his Letters, Imam Rabbani says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come 1000 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS), "Between the first and second millennia:"
(Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, vol. 1 , 261st Letter, p. 628)
Here, Imam Rabbani is speaking very clearly and distinctly OF THE TIME AFTER THE DEATH OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS), NOT AFTER HIS OWN DEATH. This statement is significant, because some people MISINTERPRET Imam Rabbani's statement, "IN OTHER WORDS AFTER THE DEATH OF OUR PROPHET (SAAS)," which is too clear to bear any other interpretation, as actually meaning "after the death of Imam Rabbani."
These people, uncomfortable with the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), are trying, at least in their own eyes, to put back the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) as far as possible and thus to supposedly win themselves 500-600 years.
The fact is, however,THAT ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT BY IMAM RABBANI ABOVE, INSHA'ALLAH, (BY ALLAH'S WILL) THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) AND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL COME BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THE SECOND MILLENNIA.

" Cold temperatures, 45-metre icebergs, one-metre swells, this sounds like a dangerous hobby."
Guess I should add this to the bucket list.
On a Wednesday afternoon in St. John's, N.L., Justin Emberley saw a 45-metre iceberg floating less than 100 feet from shore in Quidi Vidi Harbour. He called up his friend, Kevin Le Morzadec, a French citizen doing his Ph.D. on the subject of glacier modeling in Newfoundland, and said, "Let's climb it." And climb it they did. They put on their wetsuits and life vests, threw their ice picks and clamp-ons in their bags, jumped in the frigid ocean and swam to the iceberg. The National Post's Kristin Annable spoke Thursday to Mr. Le Morzadec, as Mr. Emberley listened nearby:
Q: First of all – what made you guys decide an iceberg would be a good object to climb?
A: Both of us had been rock-climbing for years and then we started climbing ice.
Q: Wait, climbing ice?
A: When ice forms on the mountains, you can climb that. It…

Veteran members of the Lindsey Wilson Singers encircle new members
of the
Lindsey Wilson Singers duringthe "Standards of Excellence"
ceremony in
the W.W. Slider Humanities
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College student
Kailyn Conner understood what the Lindsey Wilson Singers are all
about when she participated in last year's "Signing of the
Standards of Excellence."
Now in her second year with the co-curricular choral group,
Conner was one of 27 Lindsey Wilson College students who
participated Wednesday night in the 13th edition of the annual fall
ceremony, held in W.W. Slider Humanities Center.
"The signing ceremony is where I really started to understand
what the group was and what the group was meant to do, and the
ministry the group has," said Conner, who is a math major from
Albany, Ky.
Created more than a decade ago by the Lindsey Wilson Singers'
officers, the ceremony asks the co-curricular group's members to
pledge themselves and the group to high artistic, intellectual,
spiritual and personal standards. As part of the ceremony, each
member signs their name into a book that contains the choral
ensemble's "Standards of Excellence."
The Singers are under the direction of Associate Professor of
Music and Religion and Director of Choral Programs Gerald Chafin. He calls the annual fall event
a "sacred ceremony" because of what Singers pledge to the group
throughout the school year.
"Everything the signing ceremony instilled in us last year we
saw played out through the rest of year," Conner said. "What we
sign on to is what we promise we will do -- and we actually do
As Singer Allison Chafin said, the signing ceremony "sets a
serious tone."
"It brings the true meaning of the group to the forefront, which
the new people may not be aware of yet," said Chafin, who is a
third-year member of the group and a math major from Columbia.
One of the unique characteristics of the Lindsey Wilson Singers
is that the 27 student members are not music majors -- which
2011-12 President Jessica Massingale of Vine Grove, Ky., said
creates an exciting dynamic.
"I think over the years my favorite about being in Singers thing
has been the family unit that is created," said Massingale, who is
a human services and counseling major. "We all come from different
areas and we all have different backgrounds, and we can all come
together and be one."
One common thread that does run among the Singers is a passion
for music.
"Last year's ceremony showed me that we all share the same
passion and energy for music," said Emily Ramage, a second-year
singer who is a communication major from Columbia. "And we just
want to create music and minister to others as well."
In addition to performing several times on campus and in the
community in 2011-12, the Lindsey Wilson Singers will tour the
southern Atlantic states in the spring. They will also give a
couple special performances: the national anthem before the Sept.
20 Reds-Astros game at Great American Ball Park, and on Dec. 4 they
will be the featured concert at Mammoth Cave National Park's
32nd-annual Cave Sing.
The Sept. 20 event at Great American Ball Park is a 10-year
remembrance for the Lindsey Wilson Singers. In September 2001, the
ensemble performed the national anthem before the Sept. 18
Reds-Cubs game, which was played at Cinergy Field. It was one of
baseball's first post-9/11 games.
And in June, a select group of Lindsey Wilson Singers will
perform at St. Peter's Basilica as part of the Rome International
Choral Festival.
"Just in the two years I've been in Singers, I've gone to Alaska
and Texas … things I could only have the opportunity to do if I was
in this groups," said John Brown, a second-year Singer from Albany,
Ky., who is a biology major. "I think the signing ceremony sets a
tone that if we are all willing to commit to something that
serious, then we are serious about our music and serious about our
performances and everything that's involved."

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma (Pali) : Mind for Mind-and-Matter
[Posted By: Dr.Han Tun @ SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
The following are the passages from Pa.t.thaana Paa.li Chanting to support the
presentation by Tep. You can also hear the voice of the late Sayadaw Dr

01. Root Condition (Hetu Paccaya)
The six roots (lobha, dosa, moha, alobha, adosa, amoha) are related to the
cittas and the cetasikas associated with the roots and to the corporeality
produced by the cittas by root condition.
Root Condition: Just like the roots of a tree assist in the growth and
development of the trunk and its branches, so are the six hetu conditions.

17. Jhaana Condition (Jhaana Paccaya)
The jhaana-factors are related to their concomitants (i.e. citta and cetasikas)
and to the citta that produced corporeality by Jhaana condition.
Jhaana Condition: Jhaana condition is similar to a very clear and distinct view
achieved by looking from a tree located on the mountain top.

There are only two conflicts in Irish history which have seen close to 200,000 Irishmen in uniform. One is the First World War, which has undergone a welcome rehabilitation in Irish memory over the past 15 years– books on the topic abound, memorials are located around the island, and the State, media and Irish historians are devoting significant attention to it for the 100th anniversary. This is as it should be. The other of these two conflicts is the American Civil War.
In 1860 there were 1.6 million Irish-born people living in the United States, with many hundreds of thousands more first generation Irish-Americans. In New York, one in four of the population were Irish-born. During the war, c. 180,000 Irish-born fought for the Union, 20,000 for the Confederacy. The majority of Irish who fought and suffered through the conflict had endured the Great Famine– the American Civil War represented the second great trauma of their lives. Although the Irish experience of the conflict receives significant attention in the United States, in Ireland it receives little. There are few books published on the topic in Ireland, and the 150th anniversary passed with relatively little recognition. This is symptomatic of a wider issue regarding how the history of the Irish diaspora is dealt with– little time is devoted to the story of Irish people once they leave these shores. Though we frequently discuss the Famine, we rarely follow its emigrant victims beyond the port to examine what further horrors lay in store for many.
The American Civil War affected the lives of Irish-Americans until well into the twentieth century. Although it may seem like the distant past, the last known Irish veteran of the conflict was still alive in 1950. It is time that we in Ireland recognised the scale and impact of the conflict on people from the island of Ireland. For those Irish counties worst impacted by Famine emigration, the American Civil War almost certainly represents the largest (in terms of numbers who served and were killed) conflict in their history.
My name is Damian Shiels and I am a professional archaeologist who specialises in 'conflict archaeology', particularly where it relates to Ireland. I currently work with a commercial archaeology company, Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd, but have also spent time as one of the curatorial staff at the National Museum of Ireland where I worked with the military collections and in the design and preparation of the award-winning Soldiers and Chiefs military history exhibition. I have published a book on the Irish experience of the American Civil War with The History Press Ireland which you can buy from sites such as Amazon here and the Book Depository here. If you would like to find out more about the type of papers I have published and talks I have given you can see details on my academia.edu page here.
I have had a long-standing interest in the Irish experience of conflict regardless of period or location, and the American Civil War is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating topics in this sphere. The sheer scale of the Irish involvement in the conflict and its affects not only on the soldiers at the front but Irish civilians at home have captivated my attention. This blog has been set-up to fulfill a number of aims. I hope to tell the stories of Irish men and women caught up in the Civil War in an engaging and informative manner, along the way providing information on different people, units and places. As part of this I want to highlight the wider impact of war- taking family stories beyond the battlefields and into the decades that followed 1865. It is also intended that resources for those interested in the Irish experience will be built up over time, to act as an aid for those who wish to find out more (check out the 'Resources' tab at the top right of the site to see what is currently available). Finally I hope the site makes some small contribution to raising awareness in Ireland of the Irish experience of the American Civil War, particularly in light of the 150th anniversary.

Lotus makes its ADAC Formel Masters series debut this year, having joined forces with Team Motopark. In doing so, we will set about grooming household names of tomorrow at this early level of the single-seater racing ladder.
Timo Rumpfkeil's team were already triumphant last year, taking the title with Germany's Pascal Wehrlein, so hopes for 2012 are equally high. "Together with Lotus we will put everything into finding and shaping Lotus' next star of the future."
As part of the new working partnership with Lotus, the team will benefit from further support from Lotus' team of expert and world-renowned industry-leading engineers.
The team will also field four cars in the 2012 ATS Formel 3 series.


description: Not all sharks are lone hunters of the deep. Check out the surprisingly social lemon shark.

title: Lemon Sharks

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
For more than 40 years, marine biologist Samuel Gruber has been researching the behavior of lemon sharks,
But he's never seen anything like this, dozens of them, huddled together on the bottom.
Here off the coast of Jupiter, Florida, he's about to dive 80 feet below to find out why.
The water is murky.
As Gruber gets deeper, it's clear he's not alone.
A school of more than 3 dozen adult lemon sharks, ready and waiting.
Some are as long as 10 feet.
An awesome sight - but it doesn't stop Gruber from getting close enough to touch them.
What are so many sharks doing in the same place at the same time?
He believes the predators are displaying what he calls "refuging behavior."
Sam Gruber, Marine Biologist - "They're out and about when the sun goes down, they are out feeding, moving around and then when the sun comes up they begin to go to this particular place where they can assemble and rest on the bottom. Now resting on this bottom gives them a little bit of energetic edge in the sense that they can face up in to the current and they don't have to swim to breathe."
But there may be more to it than "resting".
Lemon sharks are social animals and sometimes school in small groups of 4 or 5.
This might also be a sort of mating game.
Sam Gruber, Marine Biologist - "The females are assembling here in order to attract males, that's what I think is going on here. The way it works I think, is that early in December a group of females who know to come here because they've done it year after year, will assemble at this site."
Gruber suspects female lemon sharks have chosen this reef as a place for producing chemical signals called "pheromones".
The pheromones are carried by the currents, and they attract potential male suitors.
And then it's on to the domestic phase.
Sam Gruber, Marine Biologist - "When this group reaches a critical mass, say around February or March, they begin to move out and they move to the lagoon where mating and birthing will take place from April through June.
And if Gruber's hunch is right, he can expect another miracle soon, when these creatures bring a new generation of lemon sharks into the ocean.

Monroe, Musgraves, Church make 'Rolling Stone' Best Songs list
Ashley Monroe, Kacey Musgraves, and Eric Church all have tracks on "Rolling Stone's" rundown of the best songs of the year.
Monroe ranks highest among the country singers, with "Two Weeks Late" landing at number 28. The magazine compares Ashley's track, about an unplanned pregnancy, to Loretta Lynn's 1972 classic, "The Pill."
Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow," which takes the number 53 spot on the list, is praised for incorporating some unconventional lyrics into a "great" mainstream country song.
"Rolling Stone" puts Eric's latest single, "The Outsiders," at number 89. The publication calls it the "heaviest 'country' song in years," saying it "plays like some demon spawn of Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, and 'Born to Be Wild.'"
Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel," which "Rolling Stone" calls a "left-field country number one," eeks in at number 97.

In connection with this are a number of ganglion cells, the exact distribution of which has been reproduced.
It forms a continuation of the root rather than of the ganglion.
But then Burl struck home between two armor-plates where a ganglion was almost exposed.
The junction is from the first at some little distance from the ganglion.
The first ganglion in a flea is placed in the upper part of the head above the gullet.
Fibers which leave the ganglion laterally from ventral cells.
There are, besides these, two other kinds of cells which form a transition between the ganglion and the epithelium cells.
The nerves of the mouth and its tentacles originate in the first ganglion, those of the respiratory organs in the second.
The iron artery stretched from coast to coast, and here and there touched and fed a ganglion.
A cinder enters the eye, the report reaches a ganglion, a motor impulse is sent forth, and the eyelid closes.
1680s, from Greek ganglion "tumor," used by Galen for "nerve bundle." Of unknown origin; according to Galen, the proper sense of the word was "anything gathered into a ball."
ganglion gan·gli·on (gāng'glē-ən)
n. pl. gan·gli·ons or gan·gli·a (-glē-ə)
A group of nerve cells forming a nerve center, especially one located outside the brain or spinal cord. Also called neuroganglion.
A benign tumorlike cyst containing mucopolysaccharide-rich fluid enclosed within fibrous tissue and usually attached to a tendon sheath in the hand, wrist, or foot. Also called myxoid cyst, synovial cyst.
Plural ganglia
A compact group of neurons enclosed by connective tissue and having a specific function. In invertebrate animals, pairs of ganglia occur at intervals along the axis of the body, with the forwardmost pair functioning like a brain. In vertebrates, ganglia are usually located outside the brain or spinal cord, where they regulate the functioning of the body's organs and glands as part of the autonomic nervous system.

I'm an example of a student who came to school undecided as to what I would like to study, then took one history class at St. Lawrence and realized that I had found my calling. The insight that I have gained through all of my classes has been absolutely invaluable and I can only attribute that to a faculty who are always more than willing to help and an advisor who bends over backwards for me. The history department exemplifies the liberal arts philosophy by focusing on more aspects of history than simply 'what happened.' I have learned about how the past influences how we live today in ways that I would never have expected; it really is fascinating. As far as the work that I have done in history is concerned, I recently completed a SLU Fellowship, which is a summer research opportunity awarded to students who have found a subject about which they are passionate. The research that I completed this summer involved investigating questions surrounding Abraham Lincoln and his views and actions regarding emancipation. The work that I did only served to reinforce my love of history and I really am looking forward to completing my career as a St. Lawrence history major.

GSA Awards Electronic Access Services Contract Worth $600 Million to BTG and IBM's Advantis
April 11, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden
The U.S. General Services Administration announced today the award of an electronic commerce, Internet, and electronic mail access services contract called CINEMA to BTG, Inc., of Vienna, VA, and Advantis of Schaumburg, IL., the U.S. provider of Network Services for IBM Global Services.
With an estimated value of approximately $600 million, this multiple award contract provides a comprehensive package of competitively priced value-added electronic services to include electronic commerce, Internet services, electronic messaging and X.400 mail services. CINEMA has a base award of two years, with three one-year options. It is available in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia, and is open to all federal agencies; authorized federal contractors; agency-sponsored universities and laboratories; and, as authorized by law, state, local, and tribal government users.
Initiated by the Interagency Management Council, CINEMA is an important part of the full range of technology solutions GSA's Federal Telecommunications Service provides to Federal agencies. CINEMA prices compare favorably to other contract vehicles for similar services. Analog, dial-up prices are on average 33 percent less than those for similar, high-quality commercial offerings. In addition to CINEMA's value-added electronic services, FTS is able to meet agency's telecommunications requirements through numerous contract vehicles. Niche services, such as CINEMA, are acquired by the FTS program to focus competition when and where it is needed.
"CINEMA is the Federal Government's Ticket to the Future to help agencies conduct more of the government's business electronically," said FTS Commissioner Bob Woods. "We have not only taken advantage of the government's buying power to produce substantial cost savings to users, we have also made the ordering and billing process faster and easier."
Sandy Bates, Assistant Commissioner for the FTS Office of Service Delivery said, "Providing a vehicle to obtain value-added electronic services like those provided by CINEMA is especially important considering budget restraints agencies face and the need to 'do more with less'."
"CINEMA was a model procurement -- very streamlined and very professionally run," said BTG Vice President Brian Nightingale. "FTS made it clear that it wanted the best services contract for federal agencies, with user-friendly access and the best value on price. We are looking forward to working with FTS on CINEMA."
"As a leader in the development and delivery of network computing solutions, such as electronic mail and electronic commerce to governments worldwide, we're pleased," said Ken Thornton, general manager, IBM Global Government Industry, "to have the opportunity to make these solutions available to help our federal government customers enhance their efficiency and effectiveness."
BTG, Inc., a small business, teamed with UUNET Technologies and Sterling Commerce can be reached at 800 899-6200; their Internet address is www.btg.com. IBM Global Services can be reached at 800 588-5808 or www.ibm.com/globalnetwork.
For additional contract information, please contact: FTS Eugene Bonos on (703) 904-2838 Donald Szejner on (703) 904-2886; BTG Brian Nightingale on (703) 383-6540; Advantis Dave Bolan (813) 878 5462.

The Expendables: The Film
Boy: "It's a boy movie."
Boy: "Are you sure you want to watch it?"
The 'girl' in her wanted to prove him wrong.
Girl: "I liked the Watchmen. I want to watch it."
Boy: "Okay, don't blame if you're bored. I warned you."
She concentrated on the food more than the brawn.
The elaborate order was as follows:
Caramel and cheese popcorn, large Coke,
2 brownies, a Dairy Milk, a burger and coffee
And she thought about the intricate design of the tattoo she wanted to get.
Trying to speak to her girlfriend on the right was no respite.
The tomboy (girl in disguise) wanted to get herself a gun.
My pick of lines from the movie:
"They got an army. What have we got? 4 & a half men," says short Asian guy.
(I'm not really racist. I just appreciate the source of humour in such situations.)
"Why don't we tattoo Charlotte's web on your head?"
And then he launches into an elaborate discussion on the intricacies of its design.
Girl: "I'm Sandra. What are your names?"
Boy: (Points to himself) Buddha (points to another) Pest.
Taking money for something is not a gift.
Taking nothing for something is.
Girl: "I loved you. I waited. I don't even know what you do for a living."
Boy: "Now you know what I do for a living. I'm not perfect. You should have waited. I'm worth it."
I'm not exactly a fan of the action packed movies of the 80s.
I do have early memories of Sylvester Stallone.
The men in my life, starting with dad, seem to be majorly influenced.
In the Expendables, they were all old and there was blood and gore.
Technologically created effects lent the movie an old age appeal.
Meh. I just had fun being me.
I'm sure many are Rocky and Rambo fans. You guys are in for a surprise treat.
Because I am amazing at great finds like that.

Common Council should get out of liquor license business
Published Jan. 24, 2013
This license business is just full of hypocrisy, temptation and anti-business development rigor. We'd be a lot better off letting people get about their business. If it proves to be a problem, then take action. But preventing the operations without any good reason just seems like a business the Common Council should get out of.
