A billionaire space tourist returned safely to earth yesterday after spending two weeks at the orbiting International Space Station 217 miles above the planet.
Charles Simonyi, a 58-year-old software programmer famous for helping design the Microsoft Word and Excel applications, touched down in Kazakhstan just after 12.30pm.
He is the world's fifth space tourist and joined Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and Nasa astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria for part of their seven month mission aboard the Russian-built Soyuz capsule.
Hungarian-born Simonyi, who won a junior cosmonaut contest as a child in Communist Hungary, paid $25m for his two-week trip which also included pre-flight training.
Before leaving the $100bn space laboratory yesterday Simonyi said he would miss being there:
'I've enjoyed working here and working with the excellent crew and commanders and I'm looking forward to the return flight but it's a bittersweet moment for all of us. We are sad leaving the station.'
Two Russian cosmonauts, Oleg Kotov and Fyodor Yurchikhin and one US astronaut, Sunita Williams who arrived at the station last December, have remained.

Interview Reflection
On 1st March, I was really nervous for EY Tax interview. I had another Accounting quiz on the same day itself and I was not really prepared for the interview. And as if I was not nervous enough, I had to forget to bring my IC along! Thank goodness that the security at EY allowed me to enter. Then I went up to EY and saw another girl from NUS for the same tax interview as well. The personnel handed a short written test question to both of us to write in 15 minutes time.
The NUS girl (I forgot her name) seems to be really prepared and told me about her friends' experiences and I remembered that she said her friend got a cow farm question for tax interview. I got nervous because truthfully, I wouldn't know how to answer that if it was posed to me. And I got more nervous when I thought it was going to be a group interview - seeing people competing with you for the same interview is just going to be so nerve-wrecking. But luckily, it was one-to-one and I got a very very nice lady as my interviewer. She's the tax partner at EY for corporate tax (I think) and the questions she asked were within what I expected - group conflict, teamwork, leadership, and time management. I answered to the best that I could and I really hope I can get in. Most importantly, I want to work under her (she said she will be leading the interns) because she just seemed to be a nice boss.
KPMG - Audit
And for the KPMG interview, though it was my second interview, I screwed it up. The same questions, but I just screwed it up badly because I was too relaxed I think. I didn't answer to my very best and I don't expect myself to get in. But one thing I learnt was - I scored very well for verbal test but below average for numerical test. Guess I am just bad at calculations.

I Won't Take No for an Answer
Sexual harassment is a serious problem that has only recently been addressed. The casting couch and its equivalents were tolerated for many decades. Close to half of women and 10 to 20 percent of men in the workforce experience sexual harassment. It is destructive not only to the individuals involved but to the company. Sexual harassment damages morale, increases absenteeism, damages the company's reputation and its ability to hire top people, increases turnover, and sometimes results in lawsuits.

Ossama Mohammed & Wiam Simav Bedirxan's graphic account of the horrors of the Syrian conflict, filmed by citizens trapped within it. Preceded by a series of short films from Syria
''In Syria, everyday, YouTubers film then die; others kill then film. In Paris, driven by my inexhaustible love for Syria, I find that I can only film the sky and edit the footage posted on YouTube. From within the tension between my estrangement in France and the revolution, an encounter happened. A young Kurdish from Homs began to chat with me, asking: 'If your camera were here, in Homs, what would you be filming?". Silvered Water is the story of that encounter.''

The Bellissima
I was invited by First Capitol Mortgage and Prudential California Realty to shoot their special event aboard the Bellissima in Newport Harbor, CA. It was a privilege to meet such wonderful people and of course be aboard such a beautiful yacht as the Bellissima. The Yacht is the fastest of its kind and was hand crafted in Italy. The interior was even designed by Versace himself. It was something to behold and I hope these pictures do it justice. There was a beautiful sunset that night, the perfect ending to a perfect event.

CLA which stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a slightly altered form of linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid important to human health, found mostly in animal food sources. It is important to know more about it since a recent study in the US said that CLA deficiency could be one of many reasons for obesity in Americans.
The Role of CLA
Research has found that CLA supplements are responsible for fortifying the immune system, protect against cancer and heart disease and it may help build muscle and promote fat loss. It has been discovered recently to help promote healthy glucose levels and insulin metabolism. CLA regulates lipid levels and protects us from free radicals (antioxidant).
Sources of CLA
Natural food sources rich in CLA include:
- Beef –up to 0.9g/100g
- Milk and dairy products 0.7% of all milk fat
- Lamb
- Goat
Grass fed animal products can contain up to 5 times more CLA than non grass fed ones.
Role of CLA in Fitness and Bodybuilding
According to a study approximately 3.4 grams of CLA per day shows extremely beneficial effects of CLA on body fat. Dr. Michael Pariza, who conducted research on CLA with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, concluded that it stops small fat cells from growing and helps keep fat tissue at bay.
There are studies that confirm implication of CLA for training. The combination of CLA and weight training can be very beneficial for everyone. A trial conducted on novices proved that ingesting 7g of CLA daily, improved strength and muscle mass compared to the group taking placebo.
Assumptions were made that CLA improves anabolic processes but it has to be investigated further.
Another study has shown that CLA supplementation reduced body fat by as much as 9% and simultaneously increase lean muscle mass by around 2%.
Having reviewed the properties of CLA and the positive research outcomes it is reasonable to assume that CLA supplementation can be of use to most of us. Whether you are looking to keep fit, build muscles or lose fat, CLA is the 'go to' supplement. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of variety will guarantee you are getting essential nutrients and you may also want to consider taking CLA in the form of a supplement. 4 grams and above is the recommended dose per day. Most supplements com in the form of capsules that already contain some oil to help your body absorb the CLA. Most users confirm that CLA combined with a healthy lifestyle does give good results and most reviews sit at 9.5 out of 10 stars.
*WARNING: CLA is water soluble so it should be taken with foods that contain fat.

Pink is well-known for her edgy personality and badass attitude when it comes to confronting critics -- or really, anyone who stands in her way.
But recently, her reaction to fans rudely commenting about her weight gain, along with her answer to daughter Willow's touchy question on why she's so "squishy" was absolutely perfect.
The 35-year-old pop star took to Twitter on Monday to respond to fat-shaming commentary after she attended a cancer benefit the night before. Pink wore a lovely black frock to the John Wayne 20th Annual Odyssey Ball in Los Angeles, where she supported award-winning friend, Dr. Maggie DiNome. Unfortunately, the singer became a target for less-than-kind words about a little weight gain.
"She was given the Duke Award for her tireless efforts and stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer," Pink wrote, of her friend. "But unfortunately, my weight seems much more important to some of you. While I admit that the dress didn't photograph as well as it did in my kitchen, I will also admit that I felt very pretty. In fact, I feel beautiful."
Pink ended her long-winded response by encouraging fans not to dwell on her weight -- that she and her body were just enjoying some much-needed "time off." As a followup to this message, she also Tweeted a mother-daughter photo yesterday while wearing the very same dress. She wrote:
"Willow said to me the other day whilst grabbing my belly-'mama-why r u so squishy?'And I said..'b/cuz I'm happy baby'"
I absolutely adore Pink's reaction to her daughter's question! Willow is definitely growing up with a mama who is sensitive and smart about projecting a positive body image. The bottom line? You don't have to fit the mold of what society or what the media values as "beautiful" and "sexy." More importantly, stressing out your body and your emotions in an attempt to conform to a Victoria's Secret model body type will not make you happy.
With my own kids, I avoid uttering negative remarks about my own body -- or anyone else's, for that matter. Little ones are so impressionable, after all. I would never want them to internalize this criticism and start feeling badly about their own bodies. Instead, I try to promote good eating choices and exercise as a way to stay healthy and happy.
Keep up the awesome body image messages, Pink!
What do you think of Pink's answer to her daughter's question? How do you promote positive body image with your children? Share your thoughts in the comments section, below!

Sigh… Please pardon my itchy pinky finger, which fired this message
off before I was done. Starting again…
you're not checking Twitter for the #scrumble hashtag. It is as easy
as pi (the first three digits anyway) to go to Twitter.com, search for
#scrumble in the right pane, and make your search permanent. Then
check back every couple of days. Please. Scrumble is a Twitter
experiment, so why should we have to rely on Web 0.0 technologies like
creating a mailing list to stay current? If you're a Twitter hater or
something, make a special account just for Scrumble, then delete it
when we're done. Please. Think of my puppies. Enough. Now, I made a mistake in my last post
(http://rwhe.posterous.com/scrumble-round-3-begins) when I said Lion
had 0 at the end of Round 1, so he was down to -2 points at the end of
Round 2. In fact, he already had 1 point, so it's not quite so bad. Also, partially in recognition of the fact that it's hard to reward
people over the Net (what have I got that Google hasn't got?), I've
added the following rule: *** At her discretion, a Scrumblegiver may award a point of honor to a
player for a mighty deed he performed on the previous round, but which
he neglected to pledge beforehand. The Scrumblegiver may award
multiple points, but only one per deed from the previous round. *** I am hereby awarding Limbic a point for his doughty efforts on "Take a
Semantic Pause" last round (and truth to tell, from before Scrumble
started). He's just had bad timing, failing to pledge his deeds before
he does them. He's back up to 0. The revised scores stand as follows. Stormhair = +3 (continues to be Scrumblegiver)
Yatima = +1
Limbic = 0
Lion = -1 That's it for now, but remember, as your local public radio tells you… …It's not too late to pledge. Skål! Ron

EPFL organized a welcome trip for new doctoral students this weekend (3rd October) to Ballenberg Museum. Ballenberg is a small village at about 120 Kms from Lausanne. The museum was about old Swiss houses, ranging from 17th century to the modern 19th century houses. Thanks to EPFL for organizing a guided tour, otherwise it becomes sometimes pretty boring. I have been to a few museum trips before, but could not enjoy due to this problem. It was a big open air museum. The beauty was that these houses were not some small models of the old houses, they were real houses. They are disassemble piece by piece and then reassemble it again in the same way in the museum to keep it closest to the original. They have collected many such houses, which are going to be destroyed for some new construction. It takes a lot of efforts and investment. But, it is worth, for it gives an idea of the old culture and tradition and ways of living. I noticed some very beautiful facts and information which I am sharing below:
Superstition: Superstitions have been domniating the human life for the time ancient. The examples of that can be found in these housed as well. The people in the olden days used to sleep half seated because they thought that if they lie while sleeping, lightening God may fall on their chest and they will be dead in the morning. Therefore, the length of their beds were really small, almost half of their body height. Many of us might be laughing but still we beleive in many such superstitions.
Festivals: May be they used to enjoy present day festival, like Christmas, but they were not the biggest and most enjoyed ones. One of the biggest festival for them was laundry or washing the cloths. They used to collect their cloths round the year and wash them once in a year. It was not a 1-2 hours job as of now, rather it used to be a long process of 2-3 weeks. This was the time for all the neighbours to get together and the time for the children to have better food compared to rest of the year. So they enjoyed their work as festivals.
Insurance: There was no house insurance or personal insurance in the olden days, as we have in the modern age. It was very difficult to recover from a natural disaster or some accident. But they have other kind of insurances sources. E.g. if somebody's house got destroyed due to fire or some other accident, the people in the neighbouring villages used to come and donate some wood so that he can reconstruct it as soon as possible. Therefore, human relationship was one of the biggest insurance company of that age, which is bankrupted now :).
Technical development: Due to cold weather of the Europe, they used to have indoor kitchens. Chimneys in the kitchen came around 19th century. Due to no outlet of smoke, the house was full of smoke all the time. Therefore, they had lung problems and average life expectancy of that time was around 40-45 years. But, they did not have any complaint for this because life was like that only. There is one more important fact related to chimney construction. When the chimneys came into existence, the problem was the material for constructing it. The guide told that there used to be a special tree which was cut on 31st March after sunset and this wood, cut on this special time, did not burn in the fire. I did not believe it as many of you may not be able to, but it is true.
Tradition: Unlike today's inheritance tradition, the youngest son used to inherit all the property and poor ones had to find a new place for their living. There has always been a difference between old and poor which was clearly visible in their houses as well. While poor used to make their houses of mud using wooden frames to save the wood, the rich houses were fully made of wood and had facilities like toilet, store room etc.
Intelligence: They used to make low height roofs (less than their average height) so that the volume of the room is less, which can save the fuel to keep the room warm. Nothing coming from the farm was wasted. E.g. the animal flesh was used as food. Remaining, bones were dried in open and used as fertilizer in the fields.
If you are interested to have a look of the museum in pictures, you can visit this link.

Given the numbingly cold weather we've been having here in Chicagoland, a post on "In the Bleak Midwinter" seemed appropriate. I was introduced to this Christmas text and its various tunes fairly early in my childhood, before I was at all able to appreciate or understand it. But it is lovely poetry, a lovely image of the grace of God who asks nothing of us but our hearts, and a lovely way of thinking about the child whom heaven cannot hold and earth can not sustain, but who will instead reign over them both.
I hope that you enjoy this recording - I am new to Tine Thing Helseth, but am quickly taken with her musicianship. I would encourage you to look up more of her work!
"In the bleak midwinter" by Christina Rossetti
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold him,
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When he comes to reign;
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
Enough for him, whom Cherubim
Worship night and day
A breast full of milk
And a manger full of hay.
Enough for him, whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
which adore.
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But his mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
What can I give him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him —
Give my heart.

I loved this writing too..I felt where you were, so to speak. I was thinking about that too..I mean most trouble makers won't be out at the crack of dawn, most likely. Trouble likes to sleep in as long as possible...me thinks. It is so gray here today that I am just glad to be in...getting some things organized..finishing Christmas cards and making a roast beef in the crockpot and will have a soup of some sort with it later with some bread and real butter! Also, listening to EWTN. Have a good rest of the day and thanks for blogging for me. ;)

GCSE DRAMA DAYDREAMS AND NIGHTMARES.INTRODUCTION.The issue we were set to explore in the lessons was daydreams and nightmares
Extracts from this document...
GCSE DRAMA DAYDREAMS AND NIGHTMARES. INTRODUCTION. The issue we were set to explore in the lessons was daydreams and nightmares. I enjoyed doing this topic because it allows you to act out scenes that are not real and what normal people think about in their everyday life. It also allows you to express your own thoughts. I think that nightmare chair is a very effective way of putting across to the audience what has happened during the course of the play. We started the topic off with nightmare chair. In groups of six we had to make up a play with the second scene as nightmare chair. Our group found it very hard to think of a nightmare to do. So we ended up with our story being about a boy called Jack, who dared his friend, Paul, to walk across the railway track. However while Paul was walking back a train crushed him. This meant that Jack, who dared his friend, was having the nightmare. Jack had to sit in the middle and everyone else in a circle around him. We were chanting things like ' You shouldn't have done that', 'you killed my best friend' and 'you killed my son'. ...read more.
Then the next day at school teacher asks for Edwina's homework and tells him she did not do it because she was modelling we then realise that her daydream was not actually a dream but did actually happened. When we first started doing the play no one liked it. NIGHTMARE CHAIR. In the nightmare chair play I did not have a very big part. I was the passer-by at the railway station. When Paul gets crushed I offer Jack my mobile to call the ambulance. When Jack is having a nightmare I walk around him saying 'you shouldn't have done that.' My character thought that the boys should have had more sense than to play near the railway tracks. She was always looking up from her paper as she thought they were up to no good whish they were. When I offered Jack my phone I had to make my voice sound panicky and had to rush my words to show that she was thinking quickly about what to do next. When doing the nightmare chair I had to make my voice sound flat and cold, so that it sounded like we were all blaming Jack for killing Paul. ...read more.
As the person watching the fashion show I did not have to say much. My actions as the little girl had to be different too. When I was sitting down I hard to sit up straight and place my hand straight up in the air when a question was asked. When I was playing the person watching the fashion show I had try to act posh. I tried to put this across when I clapped at Edwina. I had to clap very delicately and with my tips of my fingers. Making my voice louder and not being so self-conscience could have improved my individual performance. I could have also made my actions more precise and confident. I think everyone learning their lines so they do not stutter and leave long pauses could have improved the whole groups performance. CONCLUSION. When we were first trying to make up the play no one really like it, and we had a lot of problems acting it. No one could put in the effort to make the play look and sound good, but after we listened to everyone's ideas and thought of better ways to end it I think we made a very well acted performance. ...read more.

There are many convoluted ideas concerning this story with much confusion which has sprung some controversy within evolutionary circles. Although I believe evolutionists like mysteries to create various stories with rather than saying factually, it was created by God.
Evolution with many of it's predictions being faulty which some have been shown in this blog, while trying to fill in the gaps, they tend to open up more gaps so as a result, the mysteriousness of evolution will always be there to their delight.
In a publication called; Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences Vol. 37: 67-92, we find the latest progress of the story concerning human evolution. Does the evidence match with the fossil record? Are scientists agreeing on the big picture? Readers are left for answering these questions themselves.
But what it does say is this…
"Definition of the genus Homo is almost as fraught as the definition of Homo sapiens. We look at the evidence for "early Homo," finding little morphological basis for extending our genus to any of the 2.5–1.6-myr-old fossil forms assigned to "early Homo" or Homo habilis/rudolfensis."
"We also point to heterogeneity among "early African Homo erectus," and the lack of apomorphies [traits restricted to a single species] linking these fossils to the Asian Homo erectus group, a cohesive regional clade that shows some internal variation, including brain size increase over time. The first truly cosmopolitan Homo species is Homo heidelbergensis, known from Africa, Europe, and China following 600 kyr ago."
"One species sympatric with it included the >500-kyr-old Sima de los Huesos fossils from Spain, clearly distinct from Homo heidelbergensis and the oldest hominids assignable to the clade additionally containing Homo neanderthalensis."
"This clade also shows evidence of brain size expansion with time; but although Homo neanderthalensis had a large brain, it left no unequivocal evidence of the symbolic consciousness that makes our species unique. Homo sapiens clearly originated in Africa, where it existed as a physical entity before it began (also in that continent) to show the first stirrings of symbolism."
"Most likely, the biological underpinnings of symbolic consciousness were exaptively acquired [i.e., co-opted from other bodily changes] in the radical developmental reorganization that gave rise to the highly characteristic osteological structure of Homo sapiens, but lay fallow for tens of thousands of years before being "discovered" by a cultural stimulus, plausibly the invention of language."
Hominid taxonomy is the focus along with getting bogged down with classifications. Human-primate taxonomy has undergone major changes and repeated reversals, with those who want large inclusive categories vs. those who rather have tighter organization instead.
As a result, with more discoveries of fossils has flared up major controversy among those two groups. A new paradigm about human evolution emerged which revised hominid taxonomy into a more simple form of three species.
So it's interesting to note, we see one year, a plethora of fossils each have their own genus; then the next year, they are all lumped into a "catch-all" category called Homo erectus, which is defined as everything in between bipedal apes and modern humans.
Talk about altering a tale using vast amounts of uncertainty in order to attempt to fill in the gaps with so much speculation. Plus faith in chance miracles in which natural selection uses to make unthinking specialized choices concerning survival of the fittest.

Beware summer time: it's worst period for loss of life on our roads
* Grim predictions of fatalities from Road Safety Authority based on trends from previous years
People always find it surprising when we say that summer is the most dangerous time of the year to use the road. People assume there are more risks in the winter time because of the poor weather, road conditions and more hours of darkness.
In reality, it is the obvious risks that make winter safer. We are more cautious when faced with the challenges of using the roads.
In the summer, when there are no obvious dangers, and the weather is fine and days brighter, we relax.
In the last five years, 256 people have died in June, July and August. Over the next three months it is likely that we will lose another 51 lives.
If last year's pattern of fatalities is repeated this will probably mean vulnerable road users will be disproportionately represented.
Cyclists and pedestrians, particularly children and older people, will be among them.
Motorcyclists will account for a proportion. There will be driver and passenger deaths too. The failure to wear a seatbelt will, sadly, probably be a factor in some.
From the June bank-holiday weekend onwards the roads are going to be busy with local festivals, sporting events and people travelling on breaks. More people will be out walking and cycling.
There will also be an increase in the number of tractors using the roads, especially as the silage-cutting season gets under way.
If stuck behind a tractor, please, please be patient and don't be tempted into any foolish or rash overtaking. Look out for machinery leaving fields and farm yards.
Farmers need to be safety conscious too. If the traffic is building up behind, keep left where safe to allow others pass safely.
If you are planning on holidaying at home it's only natural for a driver getting in the holiday mood to relax. But when driving on unfamiliar roads, it can be a dangerous mix.
We should also be aware we will be sharing the roads with foreign tourists who may not be used to driving on the left.
When towing another vehicle, including a caravan or maybe a boat trailer, remember it will affect the way the car performs. Caravans increase fuel consumption, decrease its acceleration and braking ability, and can affect its general control.
Remember, a vehicle speed limit of 80kmh applies to towing vehicles. Fit extension mirrors for adequate unobstructed vision in both car door wing mirrors.
Plan frequent breaks to avoid tiredness. If you are travelling on the Friday of the June or August bank holidays, Applegreen will provide free cups of coffee to drivers between 2pm and 8pm at any of their 17 participating service stations. Simply mention the 'RSA' at the till.
There is also a spike in pedestrian, cyclist and motorcyclist casualties over the summer months. As drivers, we need to be on the lookout for them. Slow down and expect the unexpected.
A concern this year, as with the previous two years, is the number of motorcycle deaths.
Half of all crashes involving motorcyclists are caused by other drivers.
The rule of thumb should be, look once for cars and look twice for bikes. This is especially important when turning at a junction, overtaking and when joining a major road from a minor one.
When the weather is warm, it's tempting to wear jeans and a t-shirt when motorcycling. But if not wearing proper gear, you risk horrific injuries if you come off the bike.
Enjoy the summer - but take even more care.

Handing Out Game Balls for Every Game After NFL Week 12November 26, 2012
Handing Out Game Balls for Every Game After NFL Week 12
In every NFL game, there is at least one player who makes a particularly strong impact toward a winning effort. This player is then rewarded with a game ball.
In Week 12, there were dozens of game-ball-worthy performances, but only one could be chosen from the winning team of each game.
Read on to see who did the most to help his team win in Week 12.
Houston Texans vs. Detroit Lions
Game Ball: Andre Johnson
While Matt Schaub and Arian Foster both had big games, Andre Johnson's performance was especially mammoth. Nine-catch, 188-yard games don't happen just every day.
Johnson never did cross into the end zone, but his play goes beyond scoring touchdowns. He was instrumental to Houston moving the ball downfield and scoring by other means.
There was nothing Detroit could do to stop Johnson, and Houston's entire passing attack revolved around the star wideout.
Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys
Game Ball: Robert Griffin III
Robert Griffin continued to look unstoppable, as he completed 20 of his 28 passes for 311 yards, four touchdowns and a 132.6 quarterback rating. Clearly, Dallas had no answer for RG3.
Griffin led the Washington offense to 38 points, and though Alfred Morris did break 100 yards, Griffin was what made the offense run. The Redskins' entire offense revolves around Griffin.
Following an even better game against Philadelphia, Griffin was nearly flawless here. Clearly, he is making a difference for Washington.
New England Patriots vs. New York Jets
Game Ball: Tom Brady
This was a pretty typical Tom Brady performance. He completed 18 of his 28 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns. New England had several other productive players, but Brady, per the usual, stood above the rest.
The Patriots absolutely annihilated the Jets, and Brady wasn't to be stopped. Though New England did run the ball, Brady is what made the offense move.
A number of Patriots skill players put together solid games, but none stood above the rest. This is why Brady again ends up with the game ball.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
Game Ball: Jay Cutler
There really isn't a worthy candidate in this game. If the Vikings had won, Adrian Peterson would be the obvious choice, but no Bears stood out as overly good.
Jay Cutler probably deserves the game ball the most, though, as he led the Chicago offense to 28 points. Cutler completed an impressive 23-of-31 passes but gained just 188 yards while throwing a pick and a touchdown.
If any Bears player had put together a game at all worth remembering, it would have been an easy decision. In the end, though, Cutler gets the ball for completing passes and leading a successful offense.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Oakland Raiders
Game Ball: BenJarvus Green-Ellis
Andy Dalton's three touchdowns and A.J. Green's 111 yards are both worthy candidates here, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis really carried the Cincinnati offense. The Law Firm rushed for 129 yards on just 19 carries, scoring one touchdown.
Green-Ellis got off to a hot start, and the Bengals continued to rely on him throughout the game. Oakland could do nothing to stop him from gaining yards on the ground.
Cincinnati absolutely dominated this game, and Green-Ellis' play was a big reason why. The Bengals offense would not have been nearly as dominant without his huge production.
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Game Ball: Joe Haden
Joe Haden not only forced two turnovers against the Steelers but also completely shut down Mike Wallace. Haden picked off Charlie Batch once and also forced a fumble.
Aside from the two turnovers, Haden limited Wallace to one catch on seven targets for nine yards. That's an excellent percentage for Haden, as he completely eliminated Wallace from the game.
Cleveland won this game because of its defense, and in a game full of turnovers, Haden made the biggest individual impact for the Browns.
Buffalo Bills vs. Indianapolis Colts
Game Ball: T.Y. Hilton
With two touchdowns, T.Y. Hilton was clearly a huge scorer for the Colts, who put up a raging 20 points against Buffalo. Hilton brought back a punt for 75 yards and also scored on an eight-yard pass from Andrew Luck.
Hilton didn't contribute much else as a receiver, but these two plays are enough. The rookie wideout at least partially accounted for 14 of Indianapolis' 20 points.
The versatile play of Hilton was key here. He created for himself on special teams and also helped the offense score.
Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Game Ball: Cecil Shorts
Four catches for 105 yards makes for a pretty solid performance. As the Jaguars upset Tennessee, Cecil Shorts again showed up, making one huge play for Jacksonville.
Chad Henne played reasonably well, but his performance was nothing special. Shorts, on the other hand, may have made the difference in the game.
Shorts has proven he's an explosive athlete capable of making huge plays, and that showed up against the Titans.
Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Game Ball: Peyton Manning
By Peyton Manning standards, this wasn't that impressive of a game. However, Manning was still the best and most important player to the Broncos.
Manning's 285 yards and two touchdowns accounted for most of Denver's scoring and the great majority of its yardage. The Broncos would not have even competed without Manning.
Knowshon Moreno also played well, as did Demaryius Thomas. However, neither player made the difference in the game like Manning clearly did.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Miami Dolphins
Game Ball: Ryan Tannehill
Miami got off to a rough start here and won only because of a late comeback led by, you guessed it, Ryan Tannehill.
Even with the early struggles, Tannehill completed 18 of his 26 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown. Not a brilliant game, but not a bad one either.
The Dolphins scored 17 points in the last eight minutes or so, with Tannehill leading the charge. Though Reggie Bush was also a consideration here, Tannehill's leadership down the stretch secured him the game ball.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Game Ball: Matt Ryan
Save for a single interception, Matt Ryan was nearly flawless against Tampa Bay. He threw for just one touchdown but completed 81.3 percent of his passes for 353 yards.
Atlanta barely squeaked by the Buccaneers, but Ryan's play was still superb. If he is even a little less excellent, Tampa Bay likely wins.
Julio Jones, who had 147 receiving yards and a touchdown, is also a worthy candidate here. However, Ryan led the Falcons on every drive and was simply brilliant on the game.
Baltimore Ravens vs San Diego Chargers
Game Ball: Torrey Smith
Baltimore fell behind to San Diego early but rebounded for the victory, in part due to the outstanding play of Torrey Smith. Smith's seven receptions for 144 yards were devastating to the Chargers.
Even without a touchdown, Smith had a pretty incredible game here. He made multiple plays and ended up with an impressive total figure.
With 355 passing yards, Joe Flacco was also a consideration here, but he had a more flawed game than did Smith. Ray Rice's 97 rushing and 65 receiving yards also put him in consideration.
St. Louis Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals
Game Ball: Janoris Jenkins
With two pick-sixes against the Cardinals, Janoris Jenkins is an easy pick here. Jenkins intercepted Ryan Lindley in the second and third quarters with returns of 36 and 39 yards, respectively.
St. Louis needed a second-half comeback but eventually defeated Arizona by 14 points. Jenkins' two interceptions are the difference in the game.
Even if Jenkins did make a couple mistakes, two plays of this magnitude more than make up for it. The rookie cornerback stole the show here.
San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints
Game Ball: Ahmad Brooks
It's hard to choose just one player here, but Ahmad Brooks' interception for a touchdown and 1.5 sacks puts him above the rest. Really, though, this was a team win for the 49ers.
Brooks clearly dominated, forcing losses of yardage and turnovers. San Francisco did a tremendous job of limiting New Orleans to just 21 points, and Brooks was at the center of that.
This could have also gone to Colin Kaepernick, but his performance didn't stand out as especially dominant.
Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants
Game Ball: Eli Manning
As the Giants rumbled over Green Bay, Eli Manning put together a fantastic performance. Manning threw for 249 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Throughout the game, Manning avoided mistakes and consistently got yardage. He didn't simply dump the ball off but created plays on his own.
Both Manning and the Giants needed this after two rough losses. Though his stats weren't incredible, Manning played well and led his team to a 28-point win over an elite team.
Carolina Panthers vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Game Ball: Cam Newton
Cam Newton hasn't been playing up to his 2011 standards this year, but this game reminded us of old times. With four touchdowns and 358 yards, Newton carried the Panthers to victory over the Eagles.
Newton didn't turn the ball over and was efficient throwing the ball. He was essentially the only working part of Carolina's offense all game.
No other Panther really stood out, and Newton was the easy pick here. He put together a terrific performance without a ton of help.

February 16, 2001
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Mishler, District Judge.
Memorandum Of Decision And Order
This is an action, brought by the State of New York (the
"State") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), to hold National
Service Indus., Inc. ("NSI") liable for cleanup costs incurred
by the State at the Town of Islip municipal landfill on
Blydenburgh Road in Islip, New York (the "Blydenburgh
Landfill"). Presently before the Court are NSI's and the State's
cross-motions for summary judgement. NSI requests that the Court
grant summary judgment in its favor and dismiss the claims
against it. The State cross-moves for partial summary judgement,
requesting that NSI's fifth
affirmative defense be dismissed,*fn1 and seeking a
declaratory judgment that NSI is the legal successor to Serv-All
Uniform Rental Corporation ("Serv-All") for purposes of CERCLA
liability. For the following reasons, NSI's motion is denied,
and the State's cross-motion is granted.
From 1962 until 1988, Serv-All operated an industrial garment
rental service out of a facility located in the Town of
Bayshore, New York. Serv-All rented uniforms and other
industrial garments to commercial customers. As part of its
service, Serv-All dry-cleaned the rented uniforms using the
solvent perchloroehtylene ("PCE"). PCE is a hazardous substance
within the meaning of Section 101(14) of CERCLA.
On or about June 1978, Serv-All arranged with Hicky Carting
Co., Inc. ("Hicky") for the disposal or transport for disposal
of several 55 gallon drums of liquid waste which contained
PCE.*fn2 Hickey was not a "certified waste hauler." Serv-All
had been provided with a list of "certified waste haulers" by
the Suffolk County Department of Environmental Control, however,
Serv-All chose to employ Hicky instead, allegedly because the
approved waste haulers were more expensive.
In 1988 Ralph Colantuoni and William Lepido, Serve-All's two
principals, decided to retire from the garment industry. On or
about October 18, 1988, Initial Service Investments ("Initial")
entered into an "Asset Sale Agreement", whereby it agreed to
purchase certain assets, including customer contracts, customer
lists, all of Serv-All's trucks, and the right to use or retire
Serv-All's name. The purchase price was approximately
$2,229,000.00. As part of the Asset Sale Agreement, Mr. Lepido
and Mr. Colantuoni entered into covenants not to compete with
NSI. These covenants required them not to use the Serv-All name
and not to compete for seven years with NSI in the garment
rental service business. On November 6, 1992, NSI acquired all
shares in Initial, and on August 31, 1995 Initial merged into
The Blydenburgh Landfill was listed in the New York Registry
of Hazardous Waste Sites in 1983, and the listing states that
there was confirmed disposal of oil, trichlorethylene and vinyl
chloride beginning in 1978, the date of the illegal disposal of
wastes generated by Serv-All. The Blydenburgh Landfill was
proposed for listing on the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's Priority List in January 1987, and has since been
listed on the federal National Priority List of the most
contaminated hazardous waste sites in the United States.
The Complaint in the immediate action was filed on May 14,
1999. The State
seeks: (a) recovery of its costs of responding to and abating
the release and/or threatened release of hazardous substances at
and/or from the Blydenburgh Landfill, including but not limited
to all payments made by the State to the Town of Islip for the
implementation of the remedial program at the Landfill: and (b)
a declaratory judgment that NSI is strictly liable to the State
for all future costs it may so incur. NSI asserts, as its fifth
affirmative defense that:
NSI is not Serv-All Uniform Rental Corp.'s
("Serv-All") legal successor. Consequently, NSI bears
no legal responsibility for the acts of Serv-All and
cannot be liable for cleanup costs resulting from
Serv-All's activities.
The State responds to this affirmative defense by asserting that
NSI purchased Serv-All as an ongoing business and acquired all
or substantially all of Serv-All's assets, and thus, is
Serv-All's legal successor for CERCLA liability purposes.
A court should grant summary judgment if, when viewing the
evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmovant, the court
determines that there is no genuine issue of material fact and
the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c): Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Serv.,
Inc., 504 U.S. 451, 456, 112 S.Ct. 2072, 119 L.Ed.2d 265
(1992). A party seeking summary judgment must demonstrate the
absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Celotex Corp. v.
Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265
(1986). If the movant demonstrates an absence of material issues
of fact, a limited burden of production shifts to the nonmovant,
which must "demonstrate more than `some metaphysical doubt as to
the material facts . . . [and] must come forward with specific
facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.'"
Aslanidis v. United States Lines, Inc., 7 F.3d 1067, 1072 (2d
Cir. 1993) (citations and emphasis omitted). If the nonmovant
fails to meet this burden, summary judgment should be granted.
Both NSI and the State agree that there are no genuine issues
of material fact concerning the issue of successor liability.
Accordingly, the parties have conceded that ...

I have a selfish reason for compiling this list. It's my Christmas book list for my kids. It's also because my kids won't read (probably like yours!) unless they have a really good book and so I search and search and present, like a game show hostess, blog posts of books that I think my kids will like and they unceremoniously, nay or approve each selection. Usually a nay, by the way. This is what I get back:
"No thanks mom." (Grasshopper and Sensei politely declining)
"That looks boring." (PickyKidPix; she is the least concerned about my feelings)
"Ummm, can we choose something else?" (My son squirms uncomfortably when he dislikes a book choice)
"I'll just re-read Percy Jackson. I don't want you to spend any of your money." (What my son actually did all summer to avoid reading a "boring" book)
And now I need chapter books besides action adventure for my son (his teacher is trying to broaden his horizens); realistic fiction and dystopian for PickyKidPix; dystopian, non-stupid helpless girl romance and realistic fiction YA for Grasshopper and Sensei.

Pairing(s): Baekhyun/Tao
Genre: Romance, Angst, AU, Hurt/Comfort
Warning: Sex, Character death
Summary: In which Baekhyun dances for the world and Zi Tao dances only for him.
(Falling in love with Zi Tao doesn't happen all at once. It all starts with the unexpected rush in Baekhyun's veins and the thrill when Zi Tao shows him things he have never seen before. Sometimes he wonders if he is the tourist in cities he has visited countless times and Zi Tao is his guide. His only guide.)

Thankfullness. Today we are reminded that sometimes it is the big things that we learn from and sometimes it is the little things.
It has become a pattern for me to thank God for various things at the end of the day. So often it is for the day we had - that we were able to appreciate it - that we were all safe and were healthy - that the things we did over the course of the day meant something. i started to write down something that I was thankful for each day over the last few months but I confess that I've slacked a little bit because it kept looking like it was redundant and therefore maybe not meaningful. As I reflected on today's prompt it hit me though - I learned that for me - it really is the little things that make my day. The little things that make me happy.
I've often told others and been told that I'm a fairly even-keeled person. I don't show a ton of emotion. I tend to be a bit of a "plateau". I'm not showy in my enthusiasm over gifts and things like that. Much to my husband's dismay because he is the exuberant one. And it is not that I'm not happy or thrilled and I have learned (can I use this for a future prompt?) that I need to work on this - to express my thanks to others more frequently - even after the time that I have received something.
Anyway, I learned today that the seemingly little things that make me happy are really big things - because they do make me happy, help our day go smoothly and make life comfortable and content. And that is a big thing! So thanks!!!

(Editor's note: Carroll College media release)
HELENA – Carroll College men's basketball coach Carson Cunningham, fresh off the Saints' second consecutive trip to the NAIA quarterfinals, announced the signing of Emilio Mancol, a Washington 4A all-state performer out of John F. Kennedy Catholic High School in South Seattle.
The 5-foot-9 point guard boasts a 3.3 GPA. He's also on the student leadership council at Kennedy Catholic.
He shined on the hardwood in his junior and senior years, in particular, averaging 19 points per game. During his career, he helped lead Kennedy Catholic to three straight runs to the state tournament finals at the Tacoma Dome.
Mancol earned first-team all-league recognition each of the last two seasons, and in the most recent campaign, was named to the state all-tournament second team.
"It's awesome to announce that Emilio has chosen to study and hoop at Carroll College," Cunningham said. "He's well-liked and respected at Kennedy Catholic and is a skilled, fun player to watch. He was integral in getting Kennedy Catholic to three straight state tournaments in the Tacoma Dome, a historic achievement for the school. I can't wait to see him playing ball next year with the experienced Fighting Saints we have returning."
Mancol joins international product Bradley King, a 6-8 Forward from Australia, and Spangle, Wash. guard Chase Burnham, brother of current Saint Match Burnham, as the 2017 signees to date for the Saints.

Affirmative Action Produces Double Standard in College Admission
Barbara R. Manuel
English 111:10
18 November 2012
Affirmative Action Produces Double Standard in College Admission Consider this, President John F. Kennedy or Doctor Martin Luther King Junior would be partial to what affirmative action has turned out to be. President Kennedy would proclaim what someone could do for their country. Doctor King would be in opposition to the discriminatory notions of affirmative action by affirming to Americans to put predilection aside to achieve equality, not preferential treatment. America has distorted and moved beyond the majority of racial barriers of the 1960s. For instance, Barack Obama, an African-American, was elected president of the United States in 2008 and reelected in 2012 in a country where whites and blacks had to use separate water fountains just less than fifty years earlier. Affirmative action is possibly one of the more notorious issues in the United States of American today. Put into action in response to many years of segregation, which marginalized the African-American population of the United States, affirmative action was intended to repeal the unethical decisions of the past, and level the playing field in terms of employment, education and housing. The phrase 'affirmative action' was originally used by President John F. Kennedy on March 6, 1961, in Executive Order 10925. The intention was to establish the government's steadfastness to equal opportunity for all qualified individuals, and to take definite action to reinforce efforts to realize equal opportunity for all. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson, superseded Executive Order 10925 with Executive Order 11246, which prohibited "employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, and national origin by those organizations receiving federal contracts and subcontracts" (Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity n.pag.). Affirmative action is used to support procedures that achieve non-discrimination. In other words, it is intended to promote equal opportunity. The rationalization for affirmative action is that it compensates for "past discrimination, persecution or exploitation by the ruling class of a culture, and to address existing discrimination" (The Burning Platform n.pag.). Unfortunately, affirmative action is reverse discrimination, which has objectionable consequences failing to bring to fruition its original intentions. Furthermore, affirmative action is a temporary solution and has no place in today's society, especially in college admission criteria. The moment higher academic institutions incorporated affirmative action into admissions criteria, definite attributes of applicants' decreased, institutional funding was placed in jeopardy, and bias scholarships were created, putting other minority groups at risk. First, universities modify admissions requirements, which allows for individuals with below average grades and achievements admission into institutions of higher education. This is not only debasing and insulting to African-Americans, but it also gives rise to performance-hindering stigma by "undermining the achievements of minorities" (Friedman 26). Furthermore, affirmative action diminishes the successes of individuals, making affirmative action counterproductive. Affirmative action labels the recipients as lacking ability and mentally mediocre. It often overlooks curriculum differences, which play an integral function in college admission and graduation rates. For instance, "Carnegie Mellon University and CalTech are heavily oriented toward the sciences, fields in which blacks have always had a small presence" (The Burning Platform n.pag.). It obstructs appeasement, replacing outdated injustices with modern injustices, and convinces admission candidates to classify themselves as disadvantaged, even if they are not. Second, the price and financial stress of affirmative action programs should not be forgotten with monetary funding furnished by...

I'm in the market for a new custom. I've currently got one that I played so much that it won't stay in adjustment. Judging from the pics I'm going to need to put a lot of money into your horn. I could offer you $1100. The reason for that offer is judging strictly from the neck alone the you have a rubber band helping to operate the octave mechanism and the yamaha logo is missing. While neither one of those things are major problems, it just makes me wonder what else is wrong if things like that have not addressed. So I am assuming I will need to put $500 into the saxophone to get it up to top playing condition.
My emails is firstname.lastname@example.com please reply to that address.

I decided that since mini is now back to school that I did not want to spend good money on buying her a cheap scarf. I therefore decided to make her one myself!!
I bought Artesano wool
and got cracking
row number one
two tone scarfyness
it took me a few weeks, going back and forth, frogging my work every time i got it wrong (for those of you who don't know what frogging is - rip it, rip it, rip it!)
It took a long time coming but finally it was finished.
Its rather short but Rachel loves it just the length it is.
next project is a hat to match!!
I have also done 5 other things, but they're for a seperate project, they won't be posted until after the person they are for has received them!!
I hope they like them :)

A soldier with the National Guard was charged Oct. 21 with possession of an automatic weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.
New London police responded to a call in the area of Pearl and Pine streets on March 6. When they arrived, the officers found Tyler M. Barbiaux, 22, New London, in his car. He reportedly had just returned from a National Guard drill and was in uniform.
In Barbiaux's car, police reported finding a DPMS Panther Arms M4 rifle. The weapon was not loaded and there was no ammo in the vehicle.
The rifle was sent to the state Crime Lab where investigators said it was capable of firing two or three shots with a single pull of the trigger. The weapon would also fire after the trigger was released, according to the criminal complaint.
Barbiaux reportedly told investigators that he did not intentionally modify the gun to make it automatic, but had attempted to repair the firing mechanism himself and needed another part.
A state firearm analyst reported that some of the parts had been filed or machined.
Barbiaux faces up to six years in prison if convicted of possession of an automatic weapon.

Wrong turn
Dr. Mohammad Quasim of Hinsdale made an unfortunate U-turn off of Route 53 at Ironwood Drive in unincorporated DuPage County near Wheaton Tuesday. He ended up turning his pickup truck into a five-foot deep culvert that was under water. After 20 minutes, he finally heaved the four-wheel drive vehicle out. Heavy rains caused small areas of roadside flooding in the area.

Remember how I complained yesterday about my kids running to the bathroom every 5 minutes due to a smoothie maker accidentally giving my
wild beasts precious angels fat burners?
Well, those shenanigans continued until bedtime.
And, in the morning, I was so relieved that we were all feeling better and could attend swim lessons and the gym.
We loaded us all up in the car, argued about who got to sit in the back booster and who got to sit in the middle booster, fastened seat belts, buckled car seats, passed back waters, and started the car.
Only, it didn't start. I sighed. I may have groaned too.
I looked to my right.
I realized in order to make swim lessons on time, we would need to drive
the monstrous beast sitting in the parking spot next to me.
Willie's truck.
So, I ran back into the house, grabbed the right keys, and switched car seats over to his giant truck.
We made it to swim lessons! And almost on time!
The kids LOVED swimming and all 3 floated well.
We got ready from there to go to the gym.
I got all 3 kids in the car, passed back snacks and off we went in Willie's RV.
We got to the gym. I gave the lecture about good behavior in child care and holding hands in the parking lot.
We got out of the car and started to walk in. I looked down.
I was wearing flip flops.
To the gym.
To actually work out.
So, we got back into the beast and went home.
And we all took a good nap while the AAA guy installed a new battery.

Hey Marine
Got your email. said something about you being an official BLOGGER. Horse dookie> since when does any fine up standing MARINE need the dang internet to express himself. It was my understanding that a great MARINE simple stood up in the room and a hush of quite would follow and that you would command attention.
Oh shucks if this is the only way to think anyone is listening to you then more powere to you.
Love ya man. It was great seeing you and Karen out yesterday. I didn't want to approach her because I knew she had just had a treatment the other day. Let her know I owe her a hug.

I just saw the previews for this movie and I agree with Jad, it looks great. Sometimes I like to think I am at a point in life where I am always honest with myself and I do not put on a facade to others. However, when I stop and think about how our sweet grandparents would feel about some things I say or do, much less our Lord, it reminds me that I still have plenty of work to do! Good night.
