By Mike Bachini, CBS Connecticut
Connecticut (CBS) – Just one week from today, Halloween night, the College Football Playoff Committee will release their first Top 25 rankings for this year's playoff. Come next week, the AP and Coaches polls will become meaningless. It's hard to believe we are already 8 weeks deep into the season. After this upcoming weekend, the committee will have 9 weeks worth of games to analyze.
If you've thought that the college football season has been a bit lackluster to this point, well I wouldn't argue with you.
Teams have strategically adjusted their schedules to give them a better chance at making the playoff. That's why you see some extremely intriguing non-conference games at the beginning of the season, a lull in the middle, and some great conference games scheduled for the end of the season. Making a good first impression is just as weighted as making a good last impression and vice versa. That's not to say the middle of the season doesn't count for anything, it does. Losing hurts no matter when it occurs. It just so happens that most of the high-end teams have back-loaded their conference schedules for the sake of making the strongest case possible before the committee meets for the last time.
So don't worry college football fans. The best is yet to come. November football will be just as exciting as it's always been.
Starting today, and every Tuesday going forward, I will try to predict what the committee is thinking and rank the top 25 teams for the week. This is NOT a prediction of how the teams will be ranked when all is said and done. This is just how I think the committee would rank the teams if they were releasing their rankings tonight. The exciting thing, is that starting a week from today, we will no longer have to guess. We will know. But the predictions will keep coming. That's half the fun.
1. Alabama (8-0) – This week: BYE
Alabama does not have much of a resume. Opening weekend, Alabama faced off against then #3 Florida State. That game was supposed to be in the running for game of the year. Florida State is now 2-4. Safe to say that win doesn't hold as much weight as everyone originally thought it would. What Alabama lacks in resume, they make up for in dominance. Sure – the Colorado State (6-2) and Fresno State (5-2) wins look better and better each week, but Arkansas, Ole Miss and Tennessee are mediocre-to-bad teams. It's hard to see Alabama losing the rest of the regular season. Even if their schedule gets tougher with LSU, Mississippi State and Auburn remaining. It's easy to envision a thrilling Alabama/Georgia match up in the SEC Championship game on December 2nd.
2. Georgia (7-0) – This week: vs. Florida (Jacksonville)
Could you make a case for Penn State or TCU at number 2? Of course you could. Here's why Georgia is here. They have the best win of the remaining undefeated teams. Georgia's 1 point win in South Bend over Notre Dame continues to look better and better each week. Yes, they have a win over a FCS opponent (Samford) in week 3. But I'm not going to penalize them for that, as most SEC teams play an FCS team week 12, Georgia just so happened to get it out of the way early this season. They also have a win over 5-2 Mississippi State by 28 points. Georgia's schedule is tricky the rest of the way. After Florida they have games against surprising South Carolina and Kentucky with a trip to Auburn sandwiched in between before finishing the season off with Georgia Tech. No time to rest.
3. Penn State (7-0) – This week: @ Ohio State
Penn State passed their first test in what is a brutal three week stretch for them. Next is probably the most anticipated game of the year to date, a visit to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes. Penn State has been nothing short of dominant this season with the exception of a late escape against Iowa in week 4 by 2 points. The problem is their schedule to date is relatively weak in comparison to Georgia. Only 3 of their 7 opponents are above .500 (Iowa, Northwestern and Michigan) and only 2 of the 7 games have been played on the road. If Penn State beats Ohio State this Saturday, they will jump Georgia to number 2. As of now, they are one spot behind the Bulldogs.
4. TCU (7-0) – This week: @ Iowa State
TCU is hurt by the fact that Arkansas has fallen flat this season. That win won't carry much weight when all is said and done. They still have a very impressive win at Oklahoma State by 13 and solid wins over West Virginia and SMU. Yes SMU. Their game this weekend at Iowa State is looking more and more difficult. Something has clicked with the Cyclones. They have won three in a row including wins on the road against Oklahoma and Texas Tech. After Iowa State, the Horned Frogs have meetings with Texas and Oklahoma. Plenty of chances to improve their resume and move up in the rankings.
5. Clemson (6-1) – This week: vs. Georgia Tech
It seemed last Friday's loss to Syracuse could doom the Tigers hopes of getting in the top 4 and repeating as champions. Well, since that loss, Washington State, Washington and USC have all lost as well. USC for the 2nd time. This means that it is going to be increasingly difficult for the Pac-12 to get a team in the top 4. If Clemson wins out and wins the ACC, they will be in the top 4. They still have an incredibly solid resume to this point. Wins over Auburn at home and on the road at Virginia Tech and to a lesser extent Louisville boost the resume. After Georgia Tech, Clemson will travel to Raleigh to face a very good N.C. State team.
6. Oklahoma (6-1) – This week: vs. Texas Tech
Good news for the Sooners. Iowa State seems to be legit. Three weeks ago, college football fans everywhere scratched their head when the Cyclones went in to Norman and took down the Sooners by 7. Since then, that loss hasn't looked nearly as bad as it did then. Oklahoma gained a phenomenal non-conference win when they beat Ohio State in week 2. Bad news for the Sooners? Every win besides that one is against mediocre-to-bad teams. Oklahoma is one of the teams with the back-loaded conference schedule however. After Texas Tech, the Sooners play Oklahoma State, TCU and West Virginia in a span of 3 out of 4 weeks. There could be a lot of movement here. Good or bad.
7. Notre Dame (6-1) – This week: vs. N.C. State
Wins over North Carolina, Miami (OH) and Temple don't really move the needle in comparison to wins by other teams. However, dominant wins over Michigan State on the road by 25 and USC at home by 35 do. In terms of good losses, the Irish have the best one, at home to Georgia by 1. After games against N.C. State and Wake Forest, a potentially huge showdown at Miami (FL) awaits.
8. Ohio State (6-1) – This week: @ Penn State
Since their week 2 loss to Oklahoma, Ohio State has looked like one of the best teams in the country. The problem is their dominant wins have come over extremely inferior opponents (Army, UNLV, Rutgers, Maryland and Nebraska). Ohio State is in the same boat as Oklahoma, as they have back-loaded their conference schedule. They get Penn State at home this weekend after a bye week. After that, they still have to travel to Iowa and Michigan with a home game against Michigan State squeezed in the middle. A win over Penn State this weekend will bump the Buckeyes up pretty far. Still – as long as Oklahoma keeps winning, it will be hard to jump the Sooners after losing at home to them by 15 points.
9. Wisconsin (7-0) – This week: @ Illinois
Wisconsin keeps trucking along. I'm sure Wisconsin fans will argue that their team should be higher in the rankings considering their undefeated record. My retort to that would be their atrocious schedule. Most seasons, Wisconsin challenges itself out of conference as they have played both Alabama and LSU in recent seasons. Yes, I'm sure Wisconsin was expecting a trip to BYU to be tough. But the Cougars are now 1-7 and in the running for one of the worst teams in the FBS. Utah State, FAU, Northwestern, Nebraska, Purdue and Maryland make up the rest of their 7 wins. And aside from their trip to BYU, they've only had to play Nebraska on the road. The good for the Badgers? The rest of their schedule is pretty cake-y as well and if they finish 12-0 it will be hard to ignore them. The bad news? They have zero margin for error if they want to compete with the teams ahead of them.
10. Miami (6-0) – This week: @ North Carolina
Unfortunately for the Hurricanes, they cancelled a week 2 trip to Arkansas State (4-2). A win there would have been one of the more impressive to date. Miami's wins so far aren't that strong. Duke has come back down to Earth after a hot start. Florida State's season is a wreck. Miami's best win is probably against MAC West leading Toledo (6-1). After what should be an easy win against UNC, Miami plays Virginia Tech and Notre Dame. Luckily for them, both are at home.
11. Virginia Tech (6-1) – This week: vs. Duke
Virginia Tech opened the season with an impressive neutral field win over West Virginia. Since then, their schedule has been pretty tame (noticing a trend with the middle of the season schedule here?) with the exception of a home game against Clemson. The Tigers won that one by 14, and it wasn't even all that close. The only tough thing about the Hokies remaining schedule is that after this weekend, three of their remaining four games will be on the road. Tech should be favored in all but Miami however. If they win out and win the ACC, they will have a legitimate shot at the top 4.
12. Oklahoma State (6-1) – This week: @ West Virginia
If this were almost any other year, a few of Oklahoma State's wins would be pretty impressive. Usually, Tulsa and Pittsburgh are pretty good, if not very good, teams. But Pitt has slipped to 3-5 and Tulsa is having an off-year at 2-6. Aside from that, they've beaten arguably the worst team in the Big 12 (Baylor) and have decent, if not exciting wins over Texas and Texas Tech. Their schedule gets much tougher starting this weekend. After WVU, the Cowboys welcome in-state rival Oklahoma. Usually Oklahoma and Oklahoma State play each other the final week of the season. But since both were expected to be the two best teams in the league this year, the league moved the game up a few weeks to avoid a possible rematch the very next weekend in the new Big XII title game.
13. N.C. State (6-1) – This week: @ Notre Dame
North Carolina State has some pretty solid wins this season. They beat a 6-1 Marshall team by 17, they beat Florida State on the road before their season was confirmed as a disaster and they beat Louisville by 14. Unfortunately for them, they don't have an extremely impressive win. They will get every opportunity the next two weeks. There is probably not a tougher back to back than at Notre Dame followed by Clemson. If N.C. State wins both of those games, they could very well make their way into the top 4. The Wolfpack's lone loss of the season was in week 1 to 5-2 South Carolina by a touchdown.
14. Washington State (6-1) – This week: @ Arizona
After Washington State beat USC and Oregon in back to back weeks they moved all the way up to number 8 in the AP poll. What followed was an absolute stinker of a loss at Cal by 34 points. They got back on track last week with a solid 28-0 win over Colorado. Unfortunately, the USC and Oregon wins have gotten weaker as time has moved on. Wins over FCS Montana State, 1-6 Oregon State and 1-7 Nevada will never help either.
15. Michigan State (6-1) – This week: @ Northwestern
After week 3, Michigan State sat at 2-1 and had just suffered a beat down at home to Notre Dame. Since then, the Spartans have won 4 straight, including wins over Iowa and Michigan. Every game has been within 8 points however. This fact will not go lost on the committee. After Northwestern, the Spartans play both Penn State and Ohio State before finishing the season with Maryland and Rutgers. A trip inside the top 4 is highly unlikely given the road ahead.
16. Washington (6-1) – This week: vs. UCLA
Why is a team that was #4 in the rankings to end last season and 6-1 to start this season so low? Well first off, what happened last season has no bearing on this season's rankings. Second? A terrible non-conference schedule. I'm sorry, but games against Rutgers, Montana and Fresno State should be judged as what they are. Terrible. They've also started out relatively weak in conference as well. Their conference wins to date are 4-4 Colorado, 1-6 Oregon State and 4-4 Cal. A loss to 4-3 Arizona State 13-7 doesn't look all that great either. Washington should win their next two games against UCLA and Oregon before their schedule gets tougher (@ Stanford, Utah, Washington State). Still – It's going to be extremely hard for Washington to jump in to the top 4 unless there is complete chaos ahead for the other teams.
17. UCF (6-0) – This week: vs. Austin Peay
If this were up to me, UCF would be much higher in the rankings. But the committee has set a precedent that they usually don't rank non-power 5 teams that high with the exception being Houston last season. UCF doesn't have the schedule that Houston had last season, so they can't compare. Unfortunately for UCF, their schedule was turned on its head by Hurricane Irma. UCF had Georgia Tech on the schedule for week 3 after already postponing a game against Memphis in week 2. UCF moved the Memphis game to week 5 and cancelled their game against Maine. But the Georgia Tech game was not salvageable. That would have been a big opportunity for the Knights. UCF plays Austin Peay this weekend (a game that was not originally on the schedule but was scheduled late due to all the cancellations and the possibility of only having 10 games all season). UCF does have impressive wins over Memphis, Maryland and Navy.
18. South Florida (7-0) – This week: vs. Houston
Coming in to the season, the Bulls were the favorites to land the "Group of 5" spot in one of the New Years Six bowl games. South Florida hasn't done anything to really change that. UCF just has a slightly better resume at this point. South Florida's FBS opponents record is a combined 13-33. That would look even worse if their game against 1-6 Umass wasn't cancelled. This is also in addition to FCS Stony Brook. South Florida should be glad that they were already on people's radar to start the season or else this resume wouldn't be top 25 worthy on its own. If both USF and UCF win out, the game in Orlando on November 24th will most likely decide who will play in a New Years Six bowl game now that Navy and San Diego State have fallen off.
19. Auburn (6-2) – This week: BYE
Auburn has two very forgivable losses at Clemson by 8 points and at LSU by 4 points. Their wins aren't all that impressive with the exception of Mississippi State by 39 points. Georgia Southern, Mercer, Missouri, Ole Miss and Arkansas aren't exciting. Three of their last 4 games are against Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama however.
20. LSU (6-2) – This week: BYE
LSU fans are probably thinking "Hey, we just beat Auburn 10 days ago. Why are they ahead of us?". If head to head was the only factor, this ranking would be wrong. But it's not. Auburn lost to Clemson and LSU. LSU lost to Mississippi State and Troy. The losses aren't comparable. LSU probably wishes it didn't have a bye this week as they are playing some great football lately before their annual fistfight with Alabama.
21. USC (6-2) – This week: @ Arizona State
USC was the favorite to win the Pac-12 this season after a very impressive finish to their season last year. But the Trojans haven't been able to live up to the hype. Sure, a 3 point loss on the road to a very good Washington State team is excusable. What isn't is a 35 point loss to Notre Dame. The rest of their games are winnable, but the chances of a top 4 finish at this point are almost 0.
22. Stanford (5-2) – This week: @ Oregon State (Thursday)
Stanford has won 4 games in a row and looks extremely good. They already have losses to USC and San Diego State and their best win is either UCLA or Arizona State however. They can throw a wrench in the Pac-12's playoff chances with games against Washington and Washington State down the stretch. Not to mention their season finale at home against Notre Dame.
23. Iowa State (5-2) – This week: vs. TCU
Earlier this season this did not seem possible. But after a stunning 38-31 win at Oklahoma, the Cyclones throttled both Kansas and Texas Tech, the latter being on the road as well. Is this sustainable? If Iowa State knocks off TCU, all bets are off for the Big XII.
24. Michigan (5-2) – This week: vs. Rutgers
Michigan opened the season with an impressive, neutral field victory over Florida 33-17. The Gators have fallen off in recent weeks, losing at home by 1 to LSU and 2 to Texas A&M. If those are both victories for Florida, Michigan's resume looks much much better. Their offense has struggled recently and they weren't really that competitive at Penn State. They can still play spoiler down the stretch, but a top 4 finish is unlikely.
25. Texas A&M (5-2) – This week vs. Mississippi State
If Texas A&M hadn't suffered one of the worst collapses in football history in week 1 at UCLA, the Aggies would be pretty far up this list. Aside from that loss, their only other loss is to Alabama by 8. They've also beaten a good 5-2 South Carolina team and won at Florida by 2. They aren't a great team, but still one that can move up these rankings in the coming weeks.

6-6 Michael Carrera of Venezuela remains undecided as July comes to an end but apparently is choosing between USC and Pittsburgh.
That news was tweeted by reporter Brandy L. Sims of the Sentinel newspapers in Maryland. He cited Carrera's coach at Montrose Christian School in Maryland, Stu Vetter, for the information.
Carrera visited USC in early July and told some Gamecock players, and some South Carolina media, that he planned to sign with the Gamecocks. But after returning to Maryland and meeting with his coaches, the decision was made to hold off on finalizing anything until more schools were checked out.

Here's how you save a lot of money without cutting entertainment:
Cut your phone bill – a couple has a family plan that runs about $90/mo from the major carriers.
But with wifi almost everywhere, you don't really need that expensive bill. You can use a service like TPO to cut that huge expense to $15/mo per person, so $30/mo total. Save $60/month.
Cut the cord on cable too. Drop the $100/month expense and replace it with Sling, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu for $35/month. You'll have plenty of choices for entertainment. Save $65/month.
Get one less latte per week $4/wk. That saves $220/year.
Get the AirFive drinks subscription and make $72/year.
Cut your home phone service and replace it with Google Voice (or nothing) – save about $120/yr.
There you have about $4000 in savings over two years and you didn't have to give up watching movies/shows or going out for drinks.
If you want to save more or didn't save the full $4000 in savings from above, try these:
Get the movie on Redbox instead of at the theatre to save $12/movie/person.
Watch live sporting events with friends. Have a house party once a month instead of going out as often.
Cook instead of eating out two meals per week would save at least $10/wk = $520/yr.
What would you do with an extra $2000-4000 per year? Get out of debt? Invest for the future? Travel?

Further proof that the sole goal of mankind is now to take selfies absolutely everywhere possible, a vibrator that can video capture an orgasm from its epicentre has been invented.
The nightmarish love child of an endoscopy and a vibrator, the 'Svakom Gaga Camera Vibrator' allows for a new level of explicitness in amateur sex tapes.
Footage taken can be uploaded to PC or smartphone and the device also syncs with FaceTime, offering the unprecedented opportunity to be on the phone with someone's genitals.
A spokesperson for Lovehoney, which is selling the device, said: "It allows users to get to know their body in its entirety thanks to the remarkably clear footage this camera captures.
"Thanks to its FaceTime compatibility, sharing the view with your lover couldn't be easier – whether you're sat right next to each other or miles apart."
It costs £119.99 and people are actually buying it.
"Wow is all I can say," one reviewer wrote. "The camera is such good quality and the light around the tip picks up everything – be warned! The toy is so much fun."

As a way of getting our landlady not to be bitchy about us breaking our lease, we're (or rather, I'm) running a craigslist ad and sending out emails to get her a new tenant. A 3-bedroom in Brooklyn that goes for 1100/month is a steal, so I've been getting lots of responses, although a few who came out last night apparently thought "3-bedroom" meant something larger than what I've got. No, you probably can't fit your 4 teenage kids in here, lady, not unless you like tripping over each other. It's small. That's why it's cheap.
I do try to warn them up front that there's only one closet and a tiny bathroom and kitchen. Really, it's best for 2 people or 3 people who don't mind being cheek by jowl. Or a couple with a (one) small kid. I wouldn't put two kids in there, they'd probably kill each other.
But what do I know. I don't really care what people think, so long as somebody takes the place. I'm hoping to be done with it by this weekend, because I can't really tear things up for packing and keep it clean at the same time.
I can't wait to get out of here, really. I want to start job-hunting, and mostly, I want to be able to get out and about and not be so cramped up all the time. I'm a lame duck at work, I have no cash to go out and party, and I've seen every episode of Law and Order. I need some fresh air and room to breathe it in. New York is suddenly much too small and confining all of a sudden. I'm glad Nathan's out of it for good. I don't know how people bring up kids here, I really don't.
Had to do a little talking to myself today, as my self-pity reached somewhat epic levels, and I started to feel like George Bailey deciding to toss himself off the bridge for insurance money.* Not suicidal, mind you, just sort of a general feeling that everything I've done has turned to shit and what was the point of my existence anyway, blah de blah selfpitycakes.
I was panicking about not getting a job, running out of cash, possible hospital bills, which would then tank my credit, we'd never get to buy a house, we'd have to live with our families and go on welfare, our car would get repo'd, and Nathan would be unhappy with his poor miserable parents. And all our blathering about trying to find work we loved would be exposed as a sham when clearly we ought to have aimed for lucrative fields which would have us sitting pretty by now, but no, we were stupid and now we'll be Broke Forever and die early because we couldn't afford life-saving surgery of some kind. And yes it would be our stupid healthcare-hating country's fault, but it wouldn't matter because we'd be dead.
Yes, this IS how my mind works, thank you.
And the thing is…well, at least some of those things could, possibly, happen. If we had enough misfortune, we could lose our car and go deep into debt for healthcare or some other reason and be, generally, fucked for a long time to come. But it's not worth tossing myself off a bridge for. Poverty sucks donkey ass, and I have no desire to live in it, but I'm not going to give up and die because I might become poor. Provided I live long enough, I most likely will be able to claw my way out of most kinds of poverty, eventually. I've done it before. It's even possible that by the time I'm old our country will have stopped sticking its head up its ass about healthcare, and fair taxation, and job creation, and a host of other issues that keep lots of people like myself on the edge of poverty all the time. It could get better, and I'd like to be around to see that.
*This bothers me, because insurers don't pay out on suicides, something George would've known. He could have at least tried to make his death look like an accident.

More Scooters, Marshmallow Mateys in Coming Years
Did Kellogg's recently open a new facility?
We kid! In today's cereal news, Malt-O-Meal, makers of everyone's favorite discount, bagged, "compare-to" breakfast cereals, announced it is expanding its manufacturing plant in Asheboro, North Carolina.
Malt-O-Meal CEO Chris Neugent excitedly described plans for the plant to Matthew Burns of WRAL:
"Our plant in Asheboro is the newest, most modern breakfast cereal plant in the United States."
The $135 million investment, $350,000 of which comes from a grant from One North Carolina Fund, which "provides financial assistance to attract business projects that stimulate economic activity and create jobs." The project will take three years to complete and will create 80 jobs for the community.

It amazing how you "think" you can trust people, though the first chance they get they have to stick he knife in… guess some people cant be trusted at all,
I created a board/forum thing on facebook where people could just come and vent or say things that they couldn't normally say on their own Facebook page, as things might of been a secret or they just needed a non judgmental place they could go, to start with things were ok, though no not now people have to think they re better than anyone else and go running to people after something is vented like seriously how old are you???? like bloody 2?
so i have started a new forum off facebook now called Taking Time Out
if it takes off it takes off, i hope people can now have trust in this site that things wont "slip" as this way people wont be able to see anything unless they area member… and only i can choose who gets accepted

So your friend is a knitter. Whether this is a new hobby, or something established before your friendship began, these are things your knitting friend needs you to know to make your friendship run a little smoother…
1. If she's sitting, she's knitting, and even if she's stood about waiting for something, there's a good chance she'll be knitting too. If she's not, she wants to be.
If your friend has nothing in her hands, she feels incomplete. Her absolute worst nightmare (which has happened to every knitter) is to find herself in a waiting room, unexpectedly, and not to have her knitting with her. She will go out to get milk at 10pm to the shop 5 minutes from the house and she will take her knitting, not because she's planning on stopping somewhere, but because you never know. It's nothing to worry about. If it helps, remember that to her, knitting is the equivalent of a crossword or jigsaw puzzle, with the benefit that she can give the completed version to a loved one and people don't think she's a dick. This leads on to…
2. She 'rips' or 'frogs' her beautiful creations more readily than you think is sensible.
This is when your friend has been working on something, it may even be complete, but it isn't quite right, so she unravels the whole thing and winds it back into a ball of yarn. You are horrified, you may or may not be able to see the flaw she sees in her work, but she spent hours knitting that! How can she destroy it with such abandon?! Firstly, remember that to her, it's the equivalent of a really good crossword, so she doesn't necessarily mind getting to do it again. Better that than ending up with something which doesn't fit quite right, or has that one flaw which will bug her every time she sees it. Secondly, if she's that much of a perfectionist, she's knitting with the good stuff, and that shit can get surprisingly expensive.
3. Every time you see her, she's knitting something different.
What is up with that? Is she really knitting that fast? No. Your knitting friend lives somewhere along the ADHD spectrum, which is why she knits, because she can't bear to leave her hands idle for more than about five seconds. There's also a whole delayed gratification issue, which just isn't her bag at all. She'll start a project, say, that cute owl sweater, because she's promised she'll knit for herself more (more on that in a minute). Then she finds out that her lovely neighbour is pregnant, so after an enjoyable 4 hours spent trawling the endless Ravelry database, she's found an easy and quick pattern for a cute pair of bootees, and those knit up quickly, so she's done in an evening. But she saw some nice stuff while looking for baby patterns, and now wants to make a gorgeous dress for her daughter who has grown out of the last dress she knit. She looks for the right yarn (it's a bigger project than the bootees, so she isn't likely to have enough in her stash) and while looking, she'll buy a few skeins of yarn in lovely colours, that feels so soft, so she'll start searching Ravelry for a good project to use it for. Now it's the end of the school term, so after hours of searching, she find the perfect things to knit for all the teachers, teaching assistants and other deserving school employees. A new movie comes out, her youngest daughter is obsessed with a certain character, so she knits it up. She's given a new funky book of knitting patterns, and starts one, just for fun. A new knitting catalogue comes out with a pattern so divine, she orders it right away, and can't resist starting it straight away. A friend is unexpectedly hospitalised, she knits a macabre gift to cheer up her oddball buddy. The teacher's daughter is ill, teacher is upset and worried, so she knits a wee gift to cheer her up. Now it's Christmas, better knit six tiny Christmas trees to give to the teachers etc again…
You might see the sweater again, but not for months. This also leads on to…
4. You never see any of the finished items.
Did you notice with the projects listed above that many of them had a deadline? The baby is born, the school holidays loom, the friend is discharged, the teacher needs cheering up ASAP… She's rushing to get this stuff done. I've been known to still be weaving in ends while sat in the car outside school on the last day before Christmas vacation, and blocking items in the steam from the shower I'm having while getting ready to go to that party. If she's lucky, she'll manage a quick picture on her way out of the door, or (as I have done way too many times) with the knitted item draped artfully across the dashboard of the car, so she can update her Ravelry project page.
5. She knits constantly, but you never see her wearing anything she's knit.
Remember number 3? Did you notice the priority given to the sweater she's knitting herself? Combined with her propensity to rip anything she's not entirely happy with, there's a good chance she'll never wear that sweater. You're likely to hear it referred to as 'that fucking sweater' if you ask after it. She knows she's not much of a knitter if she doesn't wear her own creations, and it eats away at her, but she's a flibbertigibbet and a perfectionist. That sweater needs hours of work before she even puts yarn to needle. She's spend hours researching yarns, which is softest, which is machine washable, which won't get bobbles after a week, stretchy but not too stretchy, hangs just right without bunching up. Then she's measuring herself, doing insane calculations involving her boobs, stitches per inch, neat increases and decreases, short rows, and other technicalities which would give you nightmares and make you worry for her sanity if she mentioned them.
6. Unless you are a knitter too, don't buy her yarn or needles, and unless they are divinely dark, kooky or adorable, don't buy her books.
She feels guilty getting yarn as a gift because in all likelihood, she will be giving away the finished item. If she's knitting herself something, there's a good chance it's something like a sweater, and unless you know her measurements, and know which pattern she will choose, and know how she will need to modify that pattern to fit her, and know how much yarn that will require, and what type of yarn and the properties of that yarn, it's best not to guess.
Needles are sometimes welcome, but make sure you know whether she prefers to knit with regular needles, or circular needles, or double-pointed needles, or she uses the magic loop method, and if she does use circulars, does she prefer fixed or interchangeable? Basically, if you know her well enough to be able to buy the sort of underpants she prefers in the right size, then there's a chance you know her well enough to buy needles for her. Good for you!
Books are slightly different, every knitter loves knitting books, whether they are books of patterns, stitches, or knitting lore. The books I appreciate most as gifts are the ones I wouldn't think to buy myself, the divinely dark, kooky and adorable, they all float my boat, and are fun to read, even if I'm not likely to knit anything from them. If she's looking to knit something for a specific person, event, or yarn, these books aren't that helpful. What she uses is the Ravelry database, which as of today, has 292,716 patterns she can browse, narrowing it down by tiny weeny details and specifics which you didn't even know existed. So if you're going to buy books, stick to the light, novelty ones, she'll be thrilled to have something light to read!
So now you know her secrets, go embrace your crazy knitting friend, she's very special, and she definitely appreciates your talents in return.

Round, round baby round, round...
YEEEESSS!!! I did it! Finally!!!
My knowledge in Photoshop is still quite limited, and even though I've spent the whole evening watching endless tutorials and reading tons of articles about animations - I couldn't get this to publish. (And that was once I finally managed to make it.)
But three hours (yes...) later, here it is - my first animated photo! *Proud*
(Reason for photo is the fresh haircut, of course!)

New Mil. R. Evid. 412 article
The Army JAG School has published a new issue of the Military Law Review. Here's a link.
Of greatest interest to those of us who spend most of each day obsessing over military justice is an article critical of Military Rule of Evidence 412. MAJ Shane R. Reeves, Time to Fine-Tune Military Rule of Evidence 412, 196 Mil. L. Rev. 47 (2008). Here's a link to the individual article.
One Response to "New Mil. R. Evid. 412 article"
Overall, a good article, but:
1) I'm not completely convinced that Congress did not deliberately intend to prevent the prosecution from introducing evidence of a victim's sexual predisposition. The prosecution's interests are never necessarily completely aligned with the interests of a victim of a crim. While balancing the interests of the victim of a nonconsensual sexual offense against the interest of an accused might be constitutionally required, Congress might very well have decided that the prosecution's competing interests — as a matter of policy — did not warrant such consideration.
2) The article does not address the unresolved question as to the applicability of 412 to Article 32 hearings. It's clear the rule applies; it is not clear exactly how it does apply. I believe it should apply in the same manner as it does at trial: the IO, in effect, should assume the role of the judge at trial, ordering a closed hearing, reviewing the evidence, and making the appropriate findings and rulings. I believe this view of the rule's applicablility has been adopted by the Navy's Code 20, but it has been far from being uniformly accepted — and, in my opinion, there is nothing in the rule, its history, or the Manual's analysis which expressly compels such an application.

|Teens busty, I was counting down every second, big melons videos to hold the phone as close as possible. Are you a massage that will go. Set the alarm and sat down to play "donkey Kong".

Watch Funny Adventure Time Goat Becomes Minecraft Goat Video | Pewdiepie Plays Goat Simulator
Yeah, I'm in this kind of mood today. In the mood to watch this kind of random weirdness from Pewdiepie.
I'd never buy this game and play it, but I do find it amusing to watch Pewdiepie play it. Because goats, that's why.
On a related note, I once saw someone on a video ask why you would want to watch someone play a game rather than going out and playing it yourself.
I think Pewdiepie had the best response: "What? You've never heard of sports?"
And there you have it. I once again feel fine watching other people play games.

Sometimes our heartache needs to be held in order to be healed; there's nothing like Mother Nature to do the job.
Being an empath, I make a living through my heartache.
(Yes, sounds like a dream job, I know.)
Experiencing heartache can be anything from uncomfortable to completely debilitating for you and can possibly make you sick.
On the upside, anytime you experience heartache, something really amazing is happening to you.Your heart, mind and body are processing out your old information (relationship, etcetera) and creating space for new information and experiences to come in.
My personal motto is, "heartache is heart opening"—so here are some of my favorite natural remedies, from fruits and spices to herbs and flower essences, that won't cost you much and will make the process a little easier on you.
I use many modalities and work with many practitioners and one of my all-time Chinese Medicine super heroes, Steve Gomberg, of the Lotus Center for Integrative Medicine, breaks down the process nicely:
"When we think about heartache in Chinese medicine, we think of the lung meridian. Lungs are the organ that allows us to take life in, and the large intestine is the part of the body that helps us let go of unwanted energy. The spice, Turmeric for example, has an affinity with the intestines and lungs and promotes and allows us to experience grief."
Knowing what common foods, herbs and spices that you may have around the house is key, should you find heartache creeping in.
Home Staples
Some of the things you might find lying around the house are lemons to put in your water to help cleanse the liver of fear, anger and grief.
Turmeric is an amazing spice you can make tea or use to cook with. (The more the better.)
And, Chinese dates will nourish the heart and calm the spirit while pears can be eaten to nourish the lungs and promote balance.
Herbs and teas have been used for thousands of years as medicinal's and are a wonderful way to keep you healthy during your heartache.
Echinacea, is the all-round tonic for rejuvenation and is spectacular in supporting the immune system and bringing balance back to the physical body during lengthy grieving periods.
Ophiopogonis is an herb that nourishes the lungs and is helpful when "you just can't keep it together." So if you're weepy, that's your best bet.
If you have a lot of anger, bupleurum is a wonderful remedy to help cleanse the liver and promote the transition from anger to grief.
(And, always remember, that taking an herbal supplement should be done so with guidance from your personal physician.)
Flower Essences
Flower essences have been around for at least a century and use infused water with the essence of the flowering portion of a plant.
They are considered to be a form of energy medicine similar to homeopathy.
My all-time favorite is the Bach Flower Remedy called Rescue Remedy. It is the go-to formula for use in a crisis or for general grief and anxiety.
Tara's Garden's makes a special Heart Medicine formula that is designed to increase your ability to receive love of all kinds. It has four key elements: forgiveness and completion of the past heart or love issue allowing you to fully claim the wisdom and knowledge gained from those experiences.
Emotional protection during vulnerable times.
It also brings you into the vibration of love, holds you within love's embrace, so to speak.
Massage Therapy
Doing body work has been my saving grace over the years.
"When you are experiencing extreme heartache it's not uncommon for all of your muscles to be tense and under pressure. Getting a full body massage helps to release the lactic acid that can build up in the muscle tissue and cause general aches, pains, and cramping that many people experience during grief. It also helps the mind body connection as well as replacing great mental and sometimes physical pain with relief and compassionate healing touch."
Says, Faith Miller, owner of the Massage Emporium in Baton Rouge.
Massage therapy also can promote the movement of your emotions; crying on the massage table happens all of the time.
Getting a weekly massage during times of stress helps to keep you in balance.
(If you choose this method you'll want to remember to drink lots of water.)
Going without food for a couple of days or drinking only liquids is a sure fire way to get an elevated perspective on your situation.
When the body no longer has to process all of that food we tend to eat when we are sad, our spiritual self takes over and can allow for some higher minded information to come in as your grief moves through.
Always, make sure to drink plenty of water and never fast longer than 24-48 hours without consulting a professional.
Fasting can be easier when you suffer from anxiety but harder if you are feeling depressed and is certainly not for everyone.
Whatever you do, don't make your situation worse by feeling punished because you're not eating. I know it sounds funny but fasting will bring up all the emotional and thought patterns that occurred leading to your heartache so you want to be prepared for the fairly prompt emotional response that fasting will bring.
The one thing that is free and everyone has access to…and is actually the most important thing you can do when your heart is broken: sleep.
Be patient and kind—and let yourself rest; sleeping is the best body and mind healer.
Sometimes, a good dream can give you the insight that your waking mind, under stress, won't allow.

BENEFITING: Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue Inc
At Lhasa Happy Homes, our passion and joy is to match the right human to each of our beloved Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu, Maltese and other small hairy beasts under 20 lbs. Believe it or not, every day, these pups are neglected and abandoned. LHH can attest to this having rescued over 3,000 dogs in the past 16 yrs...we'd like nothing better than to be "out of business" but not until there are no more dogs to save. Look at the "transformations" video and know that just because a dog needs grooming, they shouldn't be euthanized!!! Some need medical attention, some need rehabilitation AND every single one of them needs love. Our mission is to continually educate our community on the needs, training requirements and social environments that nurture lasting bonds for both pet and parent. WE NEED YOUR HELP.
We are an all-volunteer based organization and 100% of the monies that are received go to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome our dogs.
Creating a healthy, safe environment and providing the medical, emotional, and daily care necessary to prepare our dogs for their new families is expensive...and worth every penny. Our annual budget is $175,000 and we have a long ways to go to reach that target. It is our hope that you can dig deep into your pockets so that we may continue the never-ending, critical work of saving these precious creatures.
Here are just some of the ways your donations improve, and in many cases, save the lives of our dogs:
$10 buys a bag of treats or a toy
$25 buys a comfy bed
$50 buys a 30 lb bag of food that feeds 20 dogs for a month or a makeover for a horribly neglected dog
$150 pays for a spay or neuter
$500 helps with routine, medical care
$1,000 provides life-saving critical medical treatment
$2,000+ helps to put a broken dog back together

Master Takes Kystenah, Cuffed and Silenced
Master positioned me in the bed facing away from him, in the spoon position, in much the same way as we had started the day.

Sam has been a bad girl, but she won't accept her punishment without a fight
"Over my lap girl, now," Graham said, sitting on the edge of the bed. I glared at him from across the room. "No. Make me!" His eyes flashed with desire and I felt the breath leave my lungs. This was our favourite game and neither of us ever held back. Safety words were for amateurs. He sighed. "Do I have to restrain you, Sam?" "Ha! It's the only way you're going to get me." I...Read On

I lay on the bed as he shut the door behind him. With cum dripping out of my pussy, I lay there discarded, used. Staring up to the ceiling, my heart still racing from what just happened, my normal thoughts started coming back. I had come a long way from the innocent girl my parents had raised. I waited a few minutes before standing up and going to the shower, one of the few pleasantries in...Read On

Mistress continues to correct her naughty slut.
After a few moments my slave returns, crawling on his knees. He is wearing his private wear collar, complete with black leather bound in metal, and leash hooks. I look down at him still wearing the panties and heels. I utterly adore seeing his ass, cock and balls pressed tightly in a pair of women's silk panties. The first time I tried putting lipstick on him I wanted to just see him made...Read On

Daddy makes Krystenah wear a steel butt plug in public
I rolled over and opened my eyes, expecting to see Daddy's handsome, restful face, but I snapped awake when I saw that resting on his pillow instead was the thick, wooden frat paddle. I blinked awake and ran my hand over its smooth surface. Daddy rarely used it on me and I did a quick memory scan to try to find some infraction that would warrant punishment with it. I felt I had been good...Read On

Krystenah is forced to confess her attraction to another man and is publicly punished and fucked
In the video, she was bent over a table. She was tied down with leather straps at the thigh and ankle. Her mini skirt rode up and no longer covered all of her bare ass—or nearly bare. Garter straps could be seen attached to thigh-high fishnets. A tall, muscular man ran his hand slowly and gently down her back and massaged her tailbone as he bent down and murmured in her ear. She responded...Read On

Let't talk about Cinco de Mayo. A few days ago I started seeing what were supposed to be mexican decorations everywhere. Apparently people here were getting ready to celebrate Cinco Mayo Which, in someone's mind, was Mexico's Independence Day.
Now, without further ado on the inherent contradiction of these festivities in a country with an alarming number of Trump voters, we should do justice to our beloved Mexican cousins. I start with a mea culpa, because ignorance in this world is so much and nobody's free (well except for Google maybe) and too often we take for true things that are told around, without elaborating, but in my defense I had never heard of the Cinco de Mayo until I came here in New York.
I was going to write about how they really celebrate in Mexico unlike the stereotypes that we can find represented in the various bars and restaurants here but then I asked to my Mexican friend Dalia and his answer was "let me send you a picture" . (What you see on the side is what she sent me).
So, except for the city of Puebla in southern Mexico, apparently the only ones to celebrate Cinco de Mayo is the United States. Interesting. But let's go a bit more in depth.
To put it simply I would translate in an open letter to the US those two images sent to me by my friend Dalia.
Dear USA,
Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Indipendence Day which is actually on September 16.
Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico Day which doesn't even exist as a celebration. Piñata is not Mexican, as a matter of fact it is originally from China, then imported in Italy (I remember we were hitting a lot of pinatas when I was a kid) and Spain by Marco Polo apparently and then became popular in Latin America for different kind of celebrations. Apparently in Chile there's no birthday without piñata. So no, it's not Mexican but I guess it's not wrong to say that it's now kind of popular in Mexico as in many other latin cultures.
Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the unexpected Mexican army's victory over "the premier army in the world" by that time, the French forces, in the Battle of Pueblo in May 5, 1862.
So, except for Puebla, the location of the battle where they have a parade and all sort of celebrations , Mexicans don't usually celebrate Cinco the Mayo, most of them actually work while you are drinking tequila and margaritas in their name.
So thank you for your simpathy, they're happy to get you drunk, you better enjoy it because they don't.
We hope we were helpful or at least interesting so now we all can keep drinking celebrating Mexican culture knowing a little bit more of it.

Civil Litigation
Civil litigation are court actions that involve two or more parties who are embroiled in a legal dispute seeking money or another specific performance, rather than criminal sanctions. The attorney who handles civil litigation is known as a "litigator" or a "trial lawyer." The attorney represents clients across a broad spectrum of associated proceedings, including pretrial hearings and depositions, as well as arbitration or mediation before administrative agencies or court personnel.
Arbitration and mediation are processes that attempt to guide the parties toward settlement without the time and expense of going to court.
The Term "Civil Litigation"
Civil litigation is a term used to describe the legal process applied to non-criminal matters. Civil litigation is thus the filing and subsequent application of a civil lawsuit; civil litigation is incorporated into a non-criminal dispute to help produce a resolution. Civil litigation will aim to resolve such disputes as, family law disputes, court custody cases, matters involving child support payments, disputes between individuals and credit card companies, disputes involving landlord and tenants, as well as situations that involve a breach of contract.
Civil litigation is the process of resolving a legal dispute between two or more parties (individuals or business entities) who seek compensation (in the form of money) for damages incurred or specific performances that were not delivered.
Lawyers or legal professionals who specialize in civil litigation are known as "litigators;" legal professionals who practice civil litigation and represent a party in a trial, a hearing, or a form of alternative resolution method, such as arbitrations or mediations.
Types of Civil Litigation
Civil litigation will encompass a broad range of disputes that will directly enact a number of legal matters. As a result of this widespread characteristic, a civil litigator will typically specialize in a specific practice area. The most common types of civil litigation will include: disputes and laws that encompass landlords and tenants, environmental law, products liability, intellectual property disputes, construction, medical malpractice, employment and labor issues, anti-trust laws, real estate, worker's compensation, and education law.
Civil Litigation Professionals
The primary role of a civil litigation professional (i.e. an attorney or lawyer) is to assume the dispute and oppositional position faced by their hired party. As a result of this, the civil litigation professional must possess a firm knowledge of the legal matter in question and must fully understand the principles and intricacies of the underlying dispute.
A civil litigator must be well-versed in the seven distinct stages of civil litigation: the investigation of the case, the observation of pleadings, and the discovery stage (the gathering of evidence and witness testimonies), pre-trial, the delivery and evaluation of the settlement and the appeal process if necessary. That being said, the majority of civil matters do not pass through each state of litigation; the majority of lawsuits will be settled prior to trial (the majority of civil matters are settled in the discovery portion of civil litigation).
The discovery portion of civil litigation is the most labor-intensive portion of the process. As a result of this notion, the average civil litigator spends little time in the actual courtroom; the majority of resources and time are devoted to the gathering and evaluation of witness testimonies and evidence in the discovery stage.
Civil Litigation Issues
- Family law matters
- Divorce lawsuits
- Grandparent visitation
- Personal injury claims
- Guardianship
- Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
- Civil Harassment Restraining Orders.

I feel like I have a million thoughts circling my head from writing my next post to doing my accounting to baking 50 cupcakes for an event. How do I manage my crazy life? This week's StyleMama, Jennifer Parmelee, says moms like me need to find an activity that calms the nervous system. While Jennifer meditates and practices yoga daily, she says that some of us may be too far gone to commit to yoga and mediation right away. She says the best thing to do is to give yourself at least 10-15 minutes a day to have some "me" time. It can be writing in a journal, splashing paint on a canvas, or just sitting down and concentrating on your breathing. "Being compassionate to yourself on a daily basis will help center you and bring you back to a point where you can focus on your breath," says Jennifer.Hometown: Manhattan, New YorkAge: 38 years-oldChildren: 1 girl, 4 years-oldOccupation: Doula, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Counselor, & Yoga TherapistYou can find more information about Jennifer's practice at Parmakarma.com.How does she look so darn good?Jennifer practices clean living, which involves eating vegetarian and juicing, as well as regularly practicing meditation and yoga. Jennifer says she also follows Chinese medicine and uses Chinese herbs as part of her regime. She stresses that part of her overall wellness is also attributed to the community of women she surrounds herself with. She says it's important for mothers to have other women to look to for support, inspiration, and friendship. "Creating a support network of friends is just as essential to your overall well-being."
What is she wearing?Top: CandiesSkirt: CalypsoJewelry: Infinitelee (Jenny's Father) & SatyaSandals: Abercrombie & FitchStyle:"My style totally varies from Bohemian chic to super-glam to yoga-girl relaxed.

- Town Hall Mural An artist was commissioned to render 9 murals on the history of town, its development from Jefferson Village into the Township of Maplewood. When the municipal building was constructed, nine niches for murals were built into the walls. 1n 1957 then Mayor Thomas Sweeney lobbied for the Women's Club & a newly created Municipal Building Mural Committee to accept responsibility for the project's completion. "The artist chosen by unanimous vote was Stephen Juhoras, at that time a resident of Newark, and an artist of international reputation. Other works by him in this country were the religious murals of New York City, and the Eisenhower Murals in the Hall of Presidents at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The murals painted were meant to be "representative of the growth and development of the community and to ensure historical accuracy." Information taken from the "Maplewood Historical Murals Book, pages 3&4.

- Image found on Maplewood Online. Select image for link.
- Train Underpass Mosaics & Murals Maplewood's train station underpass has beautiful, creative, mosaic artwork. This summer I met the two young female artists touching up their work on the walls. It would be great to reconnect with the two artists. I got an email contact in a rush, missing some important component. Find below a gallery of pictures of our train pass painted by volunteers. One artist went to CHS, I'm sure of that. Select the images below for close-ups & visit the train underpass. The vibrant colors and creative artwork is impressive up close.
Local Art Appreciation & Education Initiatives
- SOM Mural Project –Art workshops on mural painting for South-Orange Maplewood [SOM] youth to encourage art appreciation and educate youth on art history. Meetings with students were facilitated to create an awareness of how art impacts mood through the use of color and imagery, as well as how to make connections and similarities between murals painted in different styles [Example 1) Keith Haring 2) Diego Rivera]. One interactive component was for each child to write in a journal about murals they encounter during their travels, in their community our outside, for group discussion. Content found on the wordpress blog SOM Mural Project.
- Columbia Art Classes – Columbia HS offers art classes for students. Classes include studio art as well as Advanced Placement Art History. Throughout the years students have been invited to paint murals on the walls of the HS. Murals can be found on the D wing on the first floor of the school especially, but also around the school. Talented artists abound, however not all students choose to develop and display there talents in HS – for some a confidence in themselves and/or an appreciation of art develops later. Those who develop their skills at C HS take the various studio art classes offered. They have both the experience of creative and dedicated teachers at their disposal, as well as a rich culture at the HS that celebrates the arts in its many forms, visual art as well as acting (Parnasian & the annual school musical), music (Band & Orchestra), and dance (Special Dance). By graduation time a visual art student has had opportunities to develop a portfolio they could later submit to the college of their choice.
