Dallas Cowboys Vs. NFC EAST?May 29, 2009
With Division members like the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Redskins the Dallas Cowboys better get it together and keep it together.
New York Giants: Head Coach Tom Coughlin, Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride and Defensive Coordinator Bill Sheridan have dynasty on their minds. Finishing 12–4 last year and 10–6 in 2007 with a Super bowl win is a healthy start. The Giants are a no-knock team with the talent to stand up to anybody, anytime. What's a no–knock team? That's a team who doesn't knock, just comes in and sets your Quarterback down. Just ask Tom Brady, he experienced this pass rush up close and personal in the biggest game of the season and came up short.
Philadelphia Eagles: Head Coach Andy Reid, Quarterback Donovan McNabb have plans to change recent history and want to go into the playoffs as a Division winner, not a Wildcard. Upgrading at Tackle and Wide Receiver in the off season should help. Two time Pro Bowl Tackle Jason Peters is a big upgrade and should keep McNabb on his feet. Explosive Wide Receiver Jeremy Maclin was drafted in the first round to complement DeSean Jackson. The synergy of these two and a healthy Kevin Curtis, indicates the Eagles should soar.
Washington Redskins: A team that finished 28th in total points, 23rd in passing yards, 19th in total yards and 8th in rushing yards, was lucky to have finished 8–8. If it weren't for the defense holding up the bridge, 4th in total yards, and 6th in total points, 4–12 would have been closer to their play. Is Head Coach Jim Zorn already on the bubble? Frankly, without immediate progress, the whispers for his head, are about to become a shout.
Dallas Cowboys: Can Tony Romo stay healthy and focus for an entire season? The answer better be yes, because he's worth quite a bit as trade bait. Will Roy Williams pan out? His cost was reminiscent of a Hershel Walker deal, only in reverse. Does anybody remember how that worked out for Minnesota? Can DeMarcus Ware get 20 sacks? He's been to the Pro–Bowl two years running, can he keep this up? Can jettisoning Terrell Owen and Pac Man Jones clean up the mess on the sideline and prevent a late season letdown?
Did Jerry Jones get it right? It's a tough Division and as they say, the balls not round. Only lining up and playing the games will separate the winners and the losers.

A P Sangma returns to State politicsFebruary 28th, 2008 - 3:23 pm ICT by admin
Tura (Meghalaya), Feb 28 (ANI): Former Lok Sabha speaker Purno Agitok Sangma, has returned to State politics to contest in the upcoming Assembly elections from his home constituency of Tura in Meghalaya.
After being in politics for almost after 30 years, Sangma who is National General Secretary of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), said he now wants to serve the people of his home state with the likelihood of no return to national politics.
"I have done enough for the country, I have fought alone to uphold the dignity and image of the nation, nobody else had the courage to fight. I have done enough, but I feel today, I have not done enough for my own people, who had elected me nine times, who have made me MP (Member of Parliament) for 30 years. Now, this is time that I repay to them. Therefore, I am coming back, no more going to Delhi (centre)," said Sangma.
Sangma is currently busy in campaigning for the Assembly polls scheduled on March 3rd and the results would be announced on March 8th.
He is contesting the elections along with his two sons Conard Sangma and James Sangma and is banking upon their loyalty in view of the frequent defections by politicians in the state in the past.
"In this era of 'aayaram' and 'gayaram' (frequent political party hoppers), I need some loyal people. Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) can leave the Chief Minister but sons cannot leave father. I want stability in the State," said Sangma.
The main contest in the State polls is between the National ruling Congress party, NCP and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). The NCP and RJD are also part of the Union coalition but are not in a tie up at the State level.
With the Election Commission laying down strict rules regarding the usage of banners and posters during campaigning, Sangma distributed over 10,000 CDs as a part of his election campaign.
Over two million people, about half of them women, would decide the fate of 313 candidates for the 60 seat State Assembly. (ANI)

IFFO RS standard label. (Photo Credit: IFFO RS)
IFFO RS standard supported by leading retailers
Wednesday, December 04, 2013, 02:30 (GMT + 9)
Certification Programme for the Responsible Supply of IFFO (IFFO RS) standard, which is a business-to-business certification programme, gains further support from leading retailers, who intend to demonstrate their responsible sourcing credentials through independent audits.
At present, 40 per cent of the world's fishmeal and fish oil combined production come from RS-certified factories last year.
"As a responsible business, Aldi aims to buy all of its seafood from responsible sources. Our Fish Buying Policy focuses on continuous improvement and we work closely with the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) to help us achieve our goals," a spokesperson for Aldi stated.
Another value-chain partner, Morrisons, believes credible certification of fisheries and supply chains is a requirement within their seafood sourcing to ensure the health of fisheries supplying marine proteins to the aquaculture, nutraceutical and other industries. Therefore, the firm supports the adoption of the IFFO RS standard within their supply chain.
From Sainsburys, it is considered that the sourcing of wild fish for use in feedstuffs can have an impact on stocks sustainability. That is the reason why they request that every fishery which may be used to make fishmeal and oil for their salmon feeds must first be assessed against theirr sustainability rating system. Besides, they support the development of IFFO RS, which allows fishmeal and fish oil producers to demonstrate their responsible sourcing credentials through independent audits.
"We support the IFFO RS standard as it provides us and our customers with reassurance that the fishmeal and fish oil used in agriculture and aquaculture diets are responsibly sourced, traced and produced," a spokesperson for Tesco stated.
IFFO has members living in over 30 countries representing the fishmeal and fish oil industry worldwide and accounts for two-thirds of world production and 80 per cent of fishmeal and fish oil traded worldwide. Its headquarters are located in London in the United Kingdom and it also has offices in Lima (Peru) and in Beijing (China).
This international organization is an accredited Observer to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

Berry Sweet Shower Theme {Inspiration Board & Party Ideas}
Here's a peek at the inspiration board for a baby shower I'm styling in November. As you can probably guess, mom-to-be is having a girl! Chocolate-dipped strawberries and a pink & red palette were requested for the event, so I'm tentatively calling this theme "Berry Sweet".
Pictured at top: Camellia Tissue Paper Pom Set; Boughs of Whimsy gift wrap (the "inspiration piece" for the theme / will be used throughout the party); Rectangle Mod Pink/Red & Red Disc beaded curtains (for table runners & decorative accents), pink drinks with YUM! Stirrers; cupcakes by Whitney Burke; and sparkling Pomegranate Champagne Cocktails.
Pictured above: Digital mockups of concepts for the accent table arrangements – utilizing oversize red blooms, metallic fuschia vases embellished with gift wrap, pink swirl lollipops, and white mitsumata branches adorned with small red blooms and paper "leaves". {Ruby dahlias in white vase pic by Floral Art}
Pictured above: Red and White acrylic drop ornaments; a digital mockup of the table centerpieces (a grapewood branch adorned with oversize flower blooms – real & faux – and paper leaves… might add some crystal ornaments too); Boughs of Whimsy gift wrap; and a few sample elements for the Treat Bar… pink and red candies and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Last but not least, here's a peek at the venue – Catch restaurant at the Casa del Mar hotel in Santa Monica. Pretty sweet, right?! (pun intented)
P.S. This theme would work great for a bridal shower or birthday party too! (Just swap out the word "BABY" in the signage with "BRIDE" or the the birthday girl's name.)
P.S.S. The font used for "BERRY SWEET" and "BABY" is called "JFFerrule".

Hi Jen,
I have a random question for you. I am throwing a baby shower at my house this week. My home is decorated for Halloween already. Do you think I should take the decor down so it doesn't clash with the baby girl theme?

You are here: Home Islamophobia Our Vision
Our vision looks toward the time when being Muslim carries a positive connotation and Islam has an equal place among many faiths in America's pluralistic society.
Among the indicators that this vision is a reality would be the following points:
Islamophobia is close-minded prejudice against or hatred of Islam and Muslims.
Islamophobic acts are directed at Islam or Muslims in general. Anti-Muslim discrimination is directed at a specific individual, institution or group of individuals.
An Islamophobe is an individual who holds a closed-minded view of Islam and promotes prejudice against or hatred of Muslims.
It is not appropriate to label all, or even the majority of those, who question Islam and Muslims as Islamophobes. Equally, it is not Islamophobic to denounce crimes committed by individual Muslims or those claiming Islam as a motivation for their actions.
"A critical study of Islam or Muslims is not Islamphobic," former CAIR Research Director Mohamed Nimer wrote in 2007. "Likewise, a disapproving analysis of American history and government is not anti-American... One can disagree with Islam or with what some Muslims do without having to be hateful."
"I would be careful to remind my Muslim friends not to characterize anyone who is opposed to the Ground Zero center as a racist or bigot," said a conservative political activist during an interview for this report. "My argument is there [are a few Islamophobes] ... but the vast majority of Americans are people who've been misinformed, who don't know the truth and don't know the real facts."

If you haven't heard, the winner of Best Junior Handler at the 2012 Westminster Kennel Club dog show is Ania Kelly. The 16-year-old (yes, so young and inspiring) from Maryland and her English Cocker, 'Wizard' or 'Wiz,' not only took the great honor of Best Junior Handler this year, but also made history by becoming the first English Cocker to do so at the Garden.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Ania show in both prelims and in the final and, if I do say so myself, she had quite the magic touch. She seemed in tune with her dog and showed like a professional. (To see my photos of all the winners and finalists, click here.)
Ania posted on Facebook: "I could not have asked a single thing more from Wiz, he showed his heart out & I'm glad all my hard work has finally paid off and two very well respected judges found me out of all the great junior handlers that competed."
So let's take a moment to hear just what she has to say about how she got to where she is today!
Kayla Bertagnolli: Ania, tell me a little bit about yourself and your dog history.
Ania Kelly: I have been involved in dogs my whole life. I actually started showing when I was 8 years old. My mom, Rachel Kelly, and grandma, Dotty Romano, are both involved with and breed Vizslas. Now I am too! I started showing in Junior Showmanship when I was 9 and have shown both Vizslas and English Cockers.
KB: What do you like to do in your free time, if you have any?
AK: I attend public high school during the week and go to shows on the weekends. My hobbies include dancing and softball. Most weekends, though, I usually attend dog shows where I assist Michael and Michelle Scott. I love working for handlers, because I love to learn about all different kinds of breeds and about grooming. It's great watching people who can show and handle so well. The fact that they can make it look so easy – just like nothing – is incredible.
KB: How long have you been showing Wiz, and what does it mean to win with this particular dog?
AK: It was definitely special, not only winning, but the whole journey. I first started showing a Vizsla, which is my and my family's main breed. Then I decided to get my own Juniors dog that I could learn about and have specifically for Juniors. I started showing Wiz when he was just 6 months old, which made things a little bit harder. I had to concentrate a lot more, and train while in the ring showing my dog. In the end, it's been a lot more rewarding. I've been showing Wiz for about five years now, and once he became older, I could look back and see how far we've come.
KB: Can you describe how you felt the moment you won? Who or what did you think about?
AK: It didn't really hit me, actually. It still hasn't! Making it to the finals was more emotional than actually winning Best Junior Handler. It was all very exciting. Knowing that the work I'd put into grooming my own dog, learning about handling and showing, was being recognized was a great feeling.
My favorite part about working is getting my "one time" to show on my own. Now I'll always remember the "one time" I showed Wiz and won!
KB: Do you remember anything specific that your family, friends and supporters said to you after the big win?
AK: Yes, after I was chosen Best Junior Handler, I hugged everyone and then got up on the podium with Wiz. From the stand, I could hear someone yell, "Ania!!!! I love you!" That was my Grandma, Dot. I even watched the video back and I can tell it was her voice.
Also, it was cool receiving letters and messages from people I've known for a long time, but haven't talked with in a while. One of the first people to congratulate me was a long-time friend, Aaron Bradshaw. Back when I showed on the West Coast, we would compete against each other almost every weekend. He actually won Best Junior Handler at Westminster a few years ago, so I thought it was cool. Although we once competed against each other, we can now share this win.
Another friend who congratulated me also won Best Junior Handler at Westminster. Last year, I made the cut right before finals and Joanne Thibault made the finals and then went on to win. So it was cool how much can change from year to year and to hear her congratulate me.
Another big factor in the finals was that I had two of my best friends in there with me. Just being in there together made the whole thing very stress free!
KB: How does it feel knowing you made history as the first winner with an English Cocker Spaniel?
AK: That, I think is really cool. Looking further back to see how many English Cockers actually placed in Juniors, I found hardly any. The breed is not a common Juniors dog, so the fact that I could win with one was really special.
KB: What trophy did you win and what does it mean to you?
AK: I will remember it forever! The actual trophy was the Best Junior Handler sash and first place ribbon. Then I got a huge sterling silver engraved platter and an engraved picture frame. The frame and official photo will be displayed in my living room, together with the platter, in our trophy hutch. My name will also be engraved on the big trophy along with all of the past winners. This is kept by the Westminster Kennel Club, which I think is really cool.
We also plan to make a scrapbook with everything from the show this year, including our tickets, my wristband, and stuff like that. I also have been receiving a lot of letters in the mail that we'll be including.
KB: Do you have any good luck charms or special preparations you make before you show?
AK: No, not really, but after every time I show, I ask my mom what I can do better. I also have some friends who help each other out if we ever show a breed besides our own. We give each other pointers.
KB: Who is your support system? Have you any mentors?
AK: My support system is definitely my mom and my grandma. My mom was actually the first person to give me handling lessons – in my backyard, no less! Along with them, my mentors include Michael and Michelle Scott. I've been assisting them for four-plus years now and I've learned so much from them. They've always been so supportive. I also assisted Andy Linton and learned a lot about the dog show world from him and from his other assistant at the time, Ashlie Whitmore.
KB: Have you shown or qualified for The Garden prior to last year?
AK: Yes, I've qualified and attended Westminster five times now. I've made the cut in prelims right before making the final four out of five times.
KB: How did you like having the Juniors Prelims in the Theater this year?
AK: Honestly, it was kind of stressful. I even think Wiz was feeling the same way. I definitely didn't like it as much.
KB: Everyone wants to know… What's next?
AK: Well, I'm going to "retire" from juniors, although, if I'm able, I would love to attend Crufts. Other than that, I plan to focus on working at the shows, attending nationals and learning more about dog shows in general. I want to learn more about professional handling, what it takes not only handling-wise, but the business element. I want to attend business school to one day become a professional handler myself.
KB: Do you have any advice for next year's contenders?
AK: Just keep your mind open and know that anything can happen! Just like me, you can attend the show and nothing happens, but the next year, you can win the whole thing! Keep your mind open, show your best and hope for the best.
KB: Is it bittersweet knowing that you will be retiring from juniors?
AK: In a way, it's kind of a relief. I always looked forward to showing under "good" and "fair" judges, but sometimes it didn't seem to matter how much time and effort I'd put into grooming and working hard with my dog. Sometimes that was frustrating. I'll miss the judges who actually take their time to pick out the juniors who work really hard to get where they are today.
KB: Any last words?
AK: I don't want to have any "last words," yet!
KB: Thank you, Ania, for taking the time to speak with us. Congratulations!
DFR! Dogs Freakin' Rule, my friends!!!!!

The Benedict Cumberbatch's drama "The Fifth Estate" has topped Forbes' list of 2013 film flops.
The movie bombed after it opened in October, bringing in just $6 million in global box office takings, and Forbes writers have now named it the worst performing film of the year as it earned back just 21 percent of its $28 million budget.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is played by Cumberbatch in the movie, publicly opposed the project and correctly predicted the film would flop at the box office.
Other releases included in Forbes' "turkey" list include Sylvester Stallone's "Bullet to the Head" and Harrison Ford's "Paranoia," which ranked second and third respectively.
Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez's crime thriller "Parker" was ranked the fourth worst performing film while Mark Wahlberg's political drama "Broken City" completed the top five.


text: To replace the heavy fire making gear... I use a 21'' Sven Saw. It's folds down small, and weighs next to nothing while still being incredibly durable. I'll use it to section the log, then split it by batonning w/ my Buck Hoodlum. It's a 16'' knife, yet weighs in at under a pound, sheath and all. It's and amazing piece of art. Ron Hood did an amazing job building this. Instead of stoves with bulky canisters/bottles, I recently went with the Vargo Titanium wood burning stove. It's one piece of titanium so there's nothing to lose and folds down incredibly small. I've even seen it used as a windscreen for small alcohol stoves. Also, TitaniumGoat.com makes the smallest and lightest wood burning stoves for heat I've ever seen. My 12'' cylinder stove comes in under 2lbs complete set and packs down so small it's hard to believe. Exofficio.com & DuluthTradingCo.com has some great clothing meant for backpacking.

Fireworks are a beautiful and fun part of many celebrations, but not something you want kids to make themselves. However, even very young explorers can experiment with these safe underwater 'fireworks'.

What You Need

Water

Oil

Food coloring

Tall clear glass

Another cup or glass

Fork

Create Fireworks in a Glass

Fill the tall glass almost to the top with room-temperature water. Warm water is ok, too.

Pour a little oil into the other glass. (1-2 tablespoons)

Add a couple of drops of food coloring. I used one drop of blue and one drop of red, but you can use any colors.

Briefly stir the oil and food coloring mixture with a fork. You want to break up the food coloring drops into smaller drops, but not thoroughly mix the liquid.

Pour the oil and coloring mixture into the tall glass.

Now watch! The food coloring will slowly sink in the glass, with each droplet expanding outward as it falls, resembling fireworks falling into water.

How It Works

Food coloring dissolves in water, but not in oil. When you stir the food coloring in the oil, you are breaking up the coloring droplets (though drops that come into contact with each other will merge... blue + red = purple). Oil is less dense than water, so the oil will float at the top of the glass. As the colored drops sink to the bottom of the oil, they mix with the water. The color diffuses outward as the heavier colored drop falls to the bottom.

Read the article (you can also listen to the audio while you read). Next go to Task and do the activity.
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude. Slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all its forms.
Article 4; Universal Declaration of Human Rights.(The United Nations)
What does slavery mean?
Slavery is the idea that a human is someone's property, that he/she can be bought, sold and owned; and forced to work without being paid. This concept has been around for thousands of years and all major civilizations used slaves at some point. They were used in many different positions, such as; labourers, soldiers, servants, farmers. Although the word slavery makes us think of the transatlantic slave trade (from Africa to the Americas), slavery was not specific to one part of the world. The Romans, Russians, Aztecs and Egyptians all kept slaves; the word slave actually comes from 'slav' - many Slavic people from Eastern Europe were taken as slaves during conflicts. As well as being captured in wars, people could be born as slaves, sold into slavery, or sold to pay a debt.
Is it right to buy and sell people?
In the past there were different concepts about human-rights and what was moral or immoral. It is only in the last 300 years that these ideas have begun to change. Most people accepted that types of people were born to be slaves; or that if you won a war you could sell your captured enemies. The Koran and the Bible both mention slavery as a fact, without criticizing it.
The life of a slave, although difficult, was not always the end of a person's life. It was possible for a slave to buy his freedom, for a slave soldier to become a general, or for a freed slave to become an important member of society. The Transatlantic Slave Trade ended this possibility.
What was the Transatlantic Slave Trade?
Slavery was as common in Africa as in other countries; but in the 15th Century, traders began to export large numbers of slaves to the Middle-East. European countries followed this, exporting Africans to work on plantations in the Caribbean, North and South America. A massive number of people were needed, as demand for new products such as sugar, coffee and tobacco was very high. In 400 years, an estimated 12 million people were removed from Africa to work as slaves in the Americas or European colonies.
Slaves in this system had no opportunity for advancement or release; even if they were freed they had few legal rights. In the past owning slaves in many countries had been a status symbol, and owners were usually fair. In this new system, profit was the most important aspect. As a result, conditions of work and living were also very tough. Millions died because of mistreatment and difficult working conditions. Some African slave traders, learning of these conditions, started to oppose the trade.
When did people's ideas begin to change?
A number of African countries (such as the Congo) made the trade illegal not for moral but practical reasons – its population was being reduced greatly by the trade. But it was moral reasons that forced a greater change. A movement in Britain led by the Quakers and the MP William Wilberforce pushed parliament to abolish slavery. In 1807 the slave trade was abolished and in 1833 slavery was abolished in all British colonies.
In the USA on the other hand, there was great argument over slavery. Many industries in the South were dependant on slaves for production (such as cotton) and if freed, the number of slaves would be almost 50% of the population in some areas. Again, religious groups were pushing for change. Unfortunately, the civil war between the North and South came before political change. Slavery was an important issue in this conflict, and was abolished (through the 13th amendment to the Constitution) at the end of the Civil war in 1865.
What were the ideas behind abolition?
In the 19th Century, newer political ideals of freedom and equality were anti-slavery. It is ironic that the two countries at the time associated with freedom and equality; USA and France; still permitted slavery. France didn't abolish slavery until 1848, and there were still slaves working in the White House in the same year. The humanitarian ideal, the idea that all people are brothers, was also important. As this idea was taken from Christianity, Christians; especially those from newer branches e.g. Quakers, Methodists; were at the centre of movements all over the world. Christian missionaries were often funded by anti-slavery groups.
Dr. David Livingstone was the most famous British missionary in Africa until 1873, and pushed for the end to the local slave trade. Unfortunately, he believed it could only be stopped by foreign countries taking control of African states – mass colonialism. This led to many other problems.
Does slavery still exist?
Legally, Nigeria was the last country to abolish slavery in 1936. However, in many parts of the world today, millions of people are working as slaves. Children fighting in the army, or working for no pay; women moved from their own countries to work in the sex industry, or in people's houses; people working for many years to pay back a small loan. These are all types of modern slavery. Groups such as the United Nations or Anti-Slavery International are fighting against this problem – but the world must first accept that there still is a problem.

I like the article
but i hope you be more accurate about koran and slavery
this is a short example :-
Bilal, an African slave who had converted to Islam. Bilal was chosen as the first muezzin of Islam because of his beautiful voice. A muezzin is the person who calls the community to the daily prayers, and is a position of great prominence and responsibility
there something called Zakat mention several time in koran,
Zakat (charity - the third Pillar of Islam) was often used by the state to free slaves
could you read more about slaves in islam?
Zeeshan Siddiqii replied on Pakistan Permalink
Do we use the word 'slave' only for a person who is owned by another person and is forced to work for them... or, can this word be used for 'someone who is sincerely devoted to someone'.... 'A' believes 'B' to be his master and is sincerely devoted to 'B', can 'A' say? I am a slave of B. Note that A isn't employed by B. A only loves B and follows him with heart and soul.
Kirk replied on Spain Permalink
Hello Zeeshan,
Yes, I'm sure that the word has been used that way by some people. I would recommend you be careful using it that way, however, as some people might object to it.
All the best,

Slavery is now forbbiden in almost all the world, but that doesn't mean this inhuman activity isn't happening anymore, and it's so sad because no one should be treaten that way, and people who do this are heartless people, selfish and ambitious people that want to make big quantities of money at the expense of other people.
Many years ago, slavery was an act of cowardice, because black people are genetically stronger, and they wanted to feel superior than them, and the only way that they found, was hurting them and violating their human rights,
DropRain replied on Yemen Permalink
Qurqan (Muslim's holy book) talk about slavery or servitude as a fact in that era but on the other hand it incited the community to get rid of it in several and indirect ways
and I think the same Bible(Christian's holy book) did
Kate11 replied on United Kingdom (Great Britain) Permalink
It's very good article. I reckon any person in this world in any time or age, must free himself first, and reject all forms of slavery, before waiting and relying on other's efforts to give him his freedom.

Trapp Family Lodge Stowe Reviews
69 reviews
Be spoiled in the beautiful Green Mountains Oct 14, 2008
The Trapp Family Lodge is a resort nestled in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains. The views from everywhere you look are spectacular. Fans of the movie The Sound of Music will recognize the Trapp family name. It is no accident or coincident. The Von Trapp family built this resort after emigrating to America before the start of World War II. After a successful musical career the family wanted both roots and a revenue stream. They decided on the hotel business.
The resort is the definition of pampering. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and the staff bends over backwards to accommodate even the most menial request. I was sent to down to the lobby to procure two Trapp Family Lodge pens, by my wife. When I got to the counter the lady handed me the one in her hand, and found another nearby. She then asked what else she could do for me. That's the kind of attitude that permeates this place.
You do have to pay for this treatment. We paid about $225 a night for our room. While you can certainly pay more in a major city or likely even in Vermont, it is still not what one would call a great value. What it is, is something that everyone should treat themselves to at least once.
The lodge has several on site taverns and/or restaurants, a spa, gift shops, and miles upon miles of trails for riding, biking, or in the winter cross country skiing. The grounds are magnificently landscaped, and that includes the family cemetery, which is open to the public. Both Maria Von Trapp and her husband, the Baron are laid to rest there. To get you up to speed on the Von Trapp history the lodge has a documentary (free of charge) that they show several times per day.

Token Service Provider
Responsible for the generation, issuance assignment and lifecycle management of temporary Personal Account Numbers (PANs), or payment tokens, the Rambus Token Service Provider (TSP), including technology from Bell ID, is a modular platform that combines tokenization with Host Card Emulation (HCE) to enable payment issuers and processors to perform a wide variety of roles in the payment process.
How Token Service Provider works
In today's mobile payment ecosystem, TSPs are entities that generate and deliver payment tokens to registered token requestors, such as OEM Pay wallets or e-commerce merchants, to safely complete mobile payment transactions. Tokenization is used to protect payment credentials by replacing them with a randomly generated number that resembles the customer's PAN. The unique identifier, known as a 'payment token' or 'tokenized PAN', is worthless if stolen, as it essentially acts as a reference for a consumer's original card data which only the card networks and/or the consumer's bank can map back to the original account.
Tokenization: Everything You Need To Know
Tokens are used in a number of environments to replace and protect the underlying value of credentials. In the payments world, tokenization is primarily used to secure payment card data. This can be done using EMVCo Tokenization for card payment transactions or Payment Card Industry (PCI) Tokenization for card-on-file data, which is stored in merchants' or acquirers' systems after a transaction is completed.
The Token Service Provider Within a Mobile Payment Ecosystem
The Rambus Token Service Provider is a comprehensive software platform that offers many different solutions within the tokenized payment infrastructure. Some of the key capabilities featured in the platform include:
- Tokenization Management – reduces fraud by removing confidential consumer card data from the payment network and replacing it with unique tokens. This includes tokenization of primary account numbers (PAN), token vault, de-tokenization, domain management, clearing and settlement support, and identification and verification support.
- Host Card Emulation – emulates the functionality of a physical secure element (SE) in the cloud for use with Near Field Communication (NFC) transactions, compliant with American Express, VISA, and MasterCard specifications featuring a plug-in for mobile wallets
- Transaction Management – enables issuers to perform transactions by calculating cryptogram version numbers (CVNs) on behalf of the authorization host. It includes cryptogram validation, assurance level validation, PAN processing, and messaging.
- Trusted Service Manager – issues contactless payment cards and provisions static card data and dynamic key material to a physical SE on a mobile device.
Token Service Provider
A Token Service Provider is an entity within the payments ecosystem that is able to provide registered token requestors – such as merchants holding card credentials – with 'surrogate' PAN values, known as payment tokens. The Token Service Provider can be independent from the payment network or payment processor, or alternatively can be integrated with one or both of these entities. Token Service Providers are responsible for a number of functions. They oversee the ongoing operation and maintenance of the Token Vault, deployment of security measures and controls, and the registration process of allowed Token Requestors.

The Ugly Goddess
She is bad to the bone until she finds herself alone in the world.
Weird, she can't blend in with her group of friends like a chameleon
and celebrate the latest fashion trend. Almost gone, she is done
with being her own best friend. Insane, her once beautiful colorful
eyes are full of pain and she can't avoid the rain. Her brain catches
a train to go to heaven where she will gain back everything that
she lost on Earth. Strangely, she doesn't believe Jesus every time
he says she is as beautiful and strong as a bull. I don't know why
she stabs herself in the back with a knife although she hasn't given
anyone in her life any strife. I believe she is not crazy so she may be
just misunderstood.

This isn't strictly accurate. Where they cut away the nail, I had my nail root quarterised so it couldn't grow back. This involved ramming what looked like a soldering iron into my toe.
Surely you are aware that the German squad was massively under strength due to domestic cup final being played and lots of players not being released for the international fixture?
Lose. They rejected it. That's antiquated theocracy for you.
It's a British Christmas tradition called pantomime. Quite a few US minor celebs pop over here to participate.

Take a look at the below list of Top 10 Best Selling Bumper Stickers in The Market 2017. I am sure everyone has seen the presidential campaign and you probably have a favorite candidate that you want to win the whole debacle. The problem is that your say only goes so far. The things these candidates want to accomplish may not even happen so why are you taking it all to heart and begin a fight with someone just because they will not be voting for your favorite and who you have picked out. Well while all this is going on there is companies that are making stickers for your vehicle letting other drivers see just how supportive you are of the choice you have made. Listed here is a list of ten of the best-selling bumper stickers in 2017.
List of Top 10 Best Selling Bumper Stickers in The Market 2017
10. Giant Meteor 2016 Bumper Sticker
This sticker is for all of you Americans that are tired of the elections and do not want to vote for either Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton. It came about because people kept saying they would rather a giant meteor come down and strike the Earth than vote for either one of those two candidates. So this makes complete sense for that reasoning.
9. Trump-Rex Bumper Sticker
This one is under the Trump for President category but the problem with that is the sticker could be seen different ways by people. Some people may see that it represents Donald Trump being a bigger person and stronger than the republican and democratic parties. Others may say this represents him being a huge monster that is going to destroy the whole country if he gets voted into office as the President of the United States. There is no telling the reason behind the company making a universal Trump bumper sticker but obviously, people love it.
8. Either Way, We're Screwed Bumper Sticker
Again, this is listed in the category of being so over the elections. By getting this bumper sticker you are letting other drivers see that you no longer care about the elections because you see nothing good coming from the elections anyways. You are telling them that no matter who wins this terrible election, our country is not going to benefit at all and we are basically screwed.
7. Liar Liar Bumper Sticker
Everyone has already known about Hilary and how she has lied about them emails so this bumper sticker has been made to represent that controversy. In the political world, voters always hate liars and this is one product that is going to let you voice how you feel about all of her lies. If she can not be trusted then she should be in the White House is how most voters have seen this whole issue.
6. Dump Bumper Sticker
This is one for all the Trump non-supporters. The companies that have been making tons of money from these election items have been playing around with adding Donald's hair to the mix. This one just takes the cake, though. It has been made for all of you that can not stand behind him and want Hilary in the office.
5. Vote Nobody Bumper Sticker
There has been such a controversy about the negative side of Hilary and Donald. The thing about this is that thanks to that issue there have been tons of voters that no longer even want to vote anymore. They are trying to get people to just vote for nobody. If you want your voice heard then you need to get out there and vote. Your opinion matters! Your vote counts! This is one of the Top 10 Best Selling Bumper Stickers in The Market 2017.
4. Love Hate Bumper Sticker
All of Hillary's fans can not accept Donald's way of thinking. They see him as a hater and will not tolerate his rants any longer. This is why the product right here is perfect for democratic supporters. It lets people know that they see love overcoming Trumps hate.
3. Cthulhu for President Bumper Sticker
If you love the horror movie from the nineteen twenties then this is the one for you. Forget voting for Hilary or Donald just try to convince others to vote Cthulhu as president and all of our problems are going to be solved. That is how some Americans have stated they feel right about now.
2. Neither Bumper Sticker
There seem to be plenty of these floating around stating to not vote for either one of the presidential candidates. This one is no different. It is trying to inspire other to vote neither one and then they see that the problems will be solved. Overall, the issues would not be solved but this sticker sure might convince some folks to not vote at all. As stated before, your opinion does matter and your voice is being heard. Just go vote because if you do not then do not get mad about which person wins!
1. There Will Be Hell Toupee Bumper Sticker
So I have to admit that Donald Trump's hair is a little weird but this bumper sticker takes it a step further by letting everyone see a funny side to the outcome of it all. The item has an image of hair to one side stating "Trump 2016" then along the other side the words "There will be hell TOUPEE". Obviously, his hair is being referenced again along with letting people know if he is in the White House for the next four years then there is going to be a big controversy happen.
These are the Top 10 Best Selling Bumper Stickers in The Market 2017. All that matters is America and how it is going to be ran the next four years. Whether Donald takes office this year, we will have all voted and gave a voice in all this hostility. Bumper stickers are meant to help give you voice a louder opinion and a funny twist to the political views of the one driving the vehicle. There will always be big debates on who is better and who has the best reputation and who will make a better president. But, at the end of the day, none of that matters because someone is going to win and not everyone is going to agree with the winner. That is life and it happens everyday to all of us. The best any of us can do is come together and stand beside each other and stop the election fights completely.

The modern day medical system has come up with sophisticated gadgets to facilitate better treatment and detailed diagnosis. Even small medical gadgets can help people to diagnose fever, heartbeat etc. Other than medical practitioners and doctors even those from other professions have become increasingly health conscious about themselves and their family members. Infact, because of the constant increase in pollution and chemical imbalances in the environment, it has become almost necessary to go for a full body check up every month. In this context, the medical gadgets have almost revolutionised the medical science field. Two of the most commonly used gadgets, which have become necessary household items, are the Monitors and the meters.These two gadgets are kept by everyone for emergency purposes. They can be used for various testing purposes like glucose test, body temperatures, heat stress, blood pressure etc. Doctors extensively use these gadgets to make necessary tests on their patients so as to diagnose the disease. What is most important here is, you should know how to use it and should understand the meter readings details. Blood pressure fluctuations, fever, low glycogen or haemoglobin deficiencies are common ailments that people face, especially after they cross their late 40's. Hence for this reason, it is of utmost importance to keep high end Monitors and Metersblood pressure monitor or a heat stress metre that is of utmost importance. The good news is, these gadgets are no longer manual with Mercury readings. They are sophisticated digital electronic products which are easy to understand and can be used by people without medical backgrounds.In this context, some of the latest blood pressure monitors like Omron, Citizens CH 605 etc have become very common among every individual because of their advanced features and user friendliness. Most of the latest medical gadgets are fully automatic with digital display to assist non-medics to easily use it without unnecessary hassle. They have much higher accuracy compared to the earlier Mercury readers which were delicate as well as difficult to understand. What makes these latest gadgets highly facilitating is its large LCD display screen with Windows type presentations. Other than this, they are small in size and have light weight which make it much more portable and can be carried for emergency purposes, while going for a trip.Other than these, there are various other Monitors and the meters also that are highly recommended to be kept for sudden health problems. Some of them are pedometers, compressor Nebuliser, heat stress meters etc. However, sometimes it becomes difficult for common people to avail everything as they learn to use them. Hence, most people find it more comfortable to keep Thermometers which are used for common fevers that are often treated at home itself. Earlier, these thermometers had Mercury readings which were difficult to understand. Today, digital concept has made it more user-friendly for people. Infact, the digital ones are much faster and accurate that takes measurement in Celsius and Fahrenheit. They make a beep sound when the measurement is complete. Other than this, it can also be used to recall the previous measurement.

Chapter 1 : The Suspects and Alibis
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
Hermione Granger, Hogwart's Resident Know It All. I swear that girl has read the whole damn library about five times. And she won't let anyone forget how smart she is either. That's why she's the most annoying Gryffindor there is.
Then there was Harry Potter, Hogwart's Resident Hero. I think he's got like thirty lives. He's survived the most insane things ever. The fact he's still living shocks the hell out of me. He's also a Gryffindor.
Next to him was Neville Longbottom. Hogwart's Resident Geek. He was a clumsy kid who was bad at everything except Herbology. He had the worst of luck too. No one's quite sure why he was put into Gryffindor. He's definitely more Hufflepuff material, but I'm not complaining.
A few feet away from him was Pansy Parkinson. She was Hogwart's Resident Slut. If you're a girl she's most likely slept with your boyfriend, your ex, your brother, your best guy friend, and your cousin. All in the same week. Pretty much every girl hates her for it. I don't. She was one of my few friends. She's a Slytherin of course.
Next to her was Draco Malfoy, Hogwart's Resident Bad Boy. One word other than bad to describe him: hot. If you were a girl, no matter what house you're in you had to think Draco Malfoy was hot. Not only in looks but in attitude. He strutted around the castle like he owned the place, he ditches class and mouthed off to teachers. He was the Slytherin Sex God. I had never spoken to him before though.
Then there was me. Skyler Hartley. I was Hogwart's Resident Rebel. You would never think that if you saw me my first three years of Hogwarts. I was just like the rest of the Hufflepuffs, quiet and overlooked. That got boring so I decided why not have fun with my life? Why not be remembered for something other than being loyal and a big loser? And thus my rebellion started. I skived off lessons, I didn't do my homework, I fell asleep in class and I practically lived in detention. I didn't have boyfriends, I had hook ups, I told people off. I was a rebel and I was happy as hell.
I continued looking around. I wondered why all of us were here. We barely had any connections.
I should probably tell you how I ended up here. I was merrily on my way to Potions (I was five minutes late already), feeling quite proud of myself, since I actually did the essay Snape assigned. When I was almost there, I was stopped my Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster.
"Ms. Hartley, lovely to see you. I'm afraid you're needed in my office." He said.
I racked my brains. Had I done something against the rules recently? Well I was drinking last night with Ron Weasley, but no one knows that. Unless he ratted me out. I'm gonna kill him! I thought.
"But sir, I was just on my way to Potions. I actually did my essay." I said proudly.
"Well then let's go to Potions and turn it in then. I'm sure Professor Snape will be delighted that you turned it in." Dumbldore said. "Besides I am in need of Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Parkinson also."
We walked to the Potions class. Everyone turned to look at us. No one looked surprised that I was being accompanied here.
"Why thank you for gracing us with your presence, Miss Hartley." Snape said.
I smiled sarcastically and did a little curtsy, getting a few sniggers.
"I'm afraid she won't be staying." Dumbldore said. "She just needs to turn in her essay, which she actually did."
I walked up to Snape and handed him the essay. "Twelve inches just like you said sir." I smirked at his surprised face.
"And I will also be needing Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Parkinson." Dumbledore said. The two got up looking confused. Draco shot me a questioning look. I merely shrugged showing him I didn't know what was happening.
When we entered Dumbledor's office, Granger, Potter and Longbottom were already there. All of them looking as confused as I was. We were told to sit so we did.
Now I'm looking around why the hell we're all here. Finally someone else enters the room. He's dressed in a black suit.
"Morning everyone." He said solemnly.
"Morning." We muttered back.
"I bet you're all wondering why you're here." He said. We all nodded.
"The six of you are suspects in the murderer of Ronald Weasley."
Every one of us had a shocked expression our faces after his words. Granger's eyes immediately filled with tears.
"What?!" She asked hysterically, which is understandable. She is Weasley's girlfriend. Well was his girlfriend anyway.
"Is this some sort of sick joke?" I asked.
"Ms. Hartley, I hardly joke and when I do, it isn't sick." He said.
"Who are you anyway?" Pansy asked.
"Detective Bennett. I was assigned to Mr. Weasley's murderer." He said.
"You expect us to believe that Weasley is actually dead?" Draco asked sneering.
Bennett threw down photos on the table. We each grabbed one and looked. Weasley sure did look dead. Nothing in the picture was moving except the blood trickling down his head. I couldn't believe it. He was actually dead.
Granger burst into sobs as silent tears slid down Potter's face. He and Weasley had been best friends. Longbottom looked sad, Draco looked like he couldn't be bothered with it and Pansy was sniffling a little.
We were all silent for a long time, letting it sink in. I was the first to speak. "What makes you think any of us did this?" I asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." Bennett answered. "Ms. Granger was his girlfriend, the closest to him. Mr. Potter was his best friend. Mr. Longbottom is Ms. Granger's ex boyfriend. Ms. Parkinson was the girl he was rumored to have been sleeping with. Mr. Malfoy was his known enemy. And you, Ms. Hartley were the last person he was seen with last night."
Everyone turned and looked at me. So someone did know I was drinking with Weasley last night. "Who told you that?" I asked.
"Anonymous tip." Bennett said. "So I'm here to get to the bottom of this. I want all of you to tell me where you were last night."
"Are you going to talk to us individually?" Pansy asked.
"No I think it's better we do it as a group. Maybe you guys can pick up things I missed."
"What we say in our stories, we won't get in trouble if we did something against school rules, will we?" I asked.
"No. It's confidential." Bennett said. "Let's start with you Ms. Granger. Now before you tell me what happened last night, I've got a few questions for you."
Granger nodded as she wiped her face. "Is it true you were in a relationship with Mr. Weasley?"
"Yes." She whispered.
"Is it also true that rumors were going around that he was cheating on you with Ms. Parkinson?"
This time Granger hesitated. "Yes." She answered again.
"Okay now can you tell me what happened last night?"
"Well Ron and I got in a huge fight because I was sick of him cheating on me with Parkinson and I wanted it to stop. It got really heated and Ron walked off. That was the last time I saw him."
"What did you do after the fight?" Bennett asked.
"I cried in the common room for a while. Ron's sister Ginny and Harry were comforting me. Then I went up to bed." Granger said.
"Mhmm." He said. He turned to Harry. "And you Mr. Potter?"
"I stayed in the common room all night. I watched Hermione and Ron fight. When Ron walked off I comforted Hermione. After Hermione went to bed I headed up a few minutes later."
"Interesting. Mr. Longbottom your turn."
"After dinner, I was in the library to get some new Herbology books. While I was entering the common room, Ron was leaving. After a few minutes I went to bed. I didn't want to get caught up in their drama again."
"You and Ms. Granger used to date right?" Bennett asked. Neville nodded. "Why did you break up?"
Neville looked over at Hermione sadly. "Hermione said it wasn't working out anymore and that she had feelings for Ron."
Bennett nodded and turned to Pansy. "Ms. Parkinson, is it true you were sleeping with Mr. Weasley?"
Pansy nodded and avoided eye contact with Granger who was glaring at her. "Okay what were you doing last night?"
"I was hanging in the common rom with Draco and our friend Blaise. We got hungry so Draco and Blaise went down to the kitchens to get us some food."
"Did he now?" Bennett asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, I did. But that's all I did. Ask my mate Blaise, he'll vouch for me." Draco said.
"Continue Ms. Parkinson." Bennett said eyeing Draco still.
"Well, Draco and Blaise came back and after we finished we headed up to bed." Pansy said.
"And you didn't see Mr. Weasley at all last night?" Bennett asked.
Pansy shook her head. "No, I had already seen him in the afternoon."
Bennett nodded. "Mr. Malfoy your turn."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Pansy just told you what I did."
Bennett surprisingly didn't press him. "Alright then, Ms. Hartley."
"Well, I was in my common room doing my Potions essay. After that I thought I deserved to celebrate so I went to the kitchens to get some firewhiskey. Ron showed up a few minutes. We had a few drinks, talked about the fight he and Granger got in and then I went back to my common room. That was the last time I saw him." I said.
"Were you and Mr. Weasley ever romantically involved?" Bennett asked.
"I wouldn't call it romantically involved." I answered.
"What would you call it?" He asked.
"We hooked up once at a party." I said.
"You slept with my boyfriend?!" Granger asked angrily, which I didn't understand. I mean Pansy sleeps with Ron on a daily basis.
"You guys had a fight and broke up. You weren't even together." I explained. "It was a one time thing anyways, never happened again."
"And that's all?" Bennett asked.
"That's all." I said.
He stood up and paced. "This doesn't get us any closer to the killer any of you could have done it." I felt like he was talking more to himself than us.
"Ms. Granger could have been tired of Mr. Weasley's cheating and lost control and killed him. Mr. Potter could have grown tired of the way Mr. Weasley was treating his friend and accidentally killed him. Mr. Longbottom could have wanted Ms. Granger back so much he got rid of the only person that stood in his way."
He took a short pause before continuing his speech.
"Ms. Parkinson might have been done being the other woman and when Mr. Weasley didn't want something more she could have gotten so angry and just killed him. Mr. Malfoy could have gotten into an argument that went too far and ended in Mr. Weasley's death. Ms. Hartley could have been so drunk she didn't realize what she was doing and mistakenly killed him and forgot..."
We all just stared at eachother awkwardly. "I'm going to find out which of you killed Ronald Weasley." He said stalking out of the room, leaving us all in shock.
A/N: My new story. I started this on Wattpad, but I decided I'd like it on here instead. Please tell me what you think. This kind of different from my normal writing. :)

Does dietbet give you a meal plan to follow ?
Be very careful with Dietbet, once you enter your CC details it will lock the card in there system and you can't remove it so they will take payments even if you don't want them to. Happened to me and it was an ordeal to get them to remove my card and they never refunded the money they over charged me.
I'm doing it too! Same game.
I really don't think 4% of your body weight is too much too lose in a month even if you're not just starting out. After all, they say it only takes 21 days to make a habbit and you get 28 with DietBet. The first Weight Watchers goal is 5% and though they don't give you a deadline, you're not playing for money either!
HealthyWage.com (the company I work for) has a slightly different model where we have both individual challenges (BMI & 10%) as well as team-based competitions combined with large financial incentives. We give out almost $20,000 per challenge (each 12 weeks) and have several running every month. We also have great success working with recent mothers to lose baby weight. In fact, late last year we had a challenge with BabyCenter specifically designed for new mothers. Check it out if you are serious about losing weight but would like to have fun while doing it!
Hmm…very interesting question. I love that there is some use for this with employers (especially given some recent trends to just not hire those with "unhealthy" behaviors, like smoking…or one day obesity?). I think it would work to some degree for me. I'm much more motivated to get off my last 10 pounds of baby weight because I know otherwise I have to spend money on new (bigger) clothes. This is a reverse financial incentive, but it's still incentivizing!!
I understand, Kristen! I'm less than 5 pounds, I think, from the next size down. Definitely a motivator!
I've looked into different sites that give financial incentives and I think DietBet seems extreme. 4% of your body weight in one month is doable if you are just starting a fitness program, when you tend to drop pounds fast, but it's unrealistic (and unhealthy) for a lot of people. I'm considering HealthyWage which has a challenge where you try to lose 10% of your body weight in six months. I personally think that's a much healthier goal.
I agree, Michelle. I have a lot of weight left to lose, so I think that this weight will come off fairly easily, but if I was near my goal it would be a tough month.
Money would sure be nice, that's for sure. They did a program similar to this at my workplace–we gett $25 for completing a health risk assessment and completing online workshops, tracking our food and exercise, etc. A lot of people got more interested in their health all of a sudden…If the DietBet website has challenges other than losing weight (I can't physically lose any more and still be healthy), I'd sign up today.
That's an interesting idea, Spectra — health challenges unrelated to weight loss. Maybe you should start your own website. 🙂 My employer also runs a group weight loss challenge (Biggest Loser takes all), but my job requires me to be out of the office most of each work day, so it's hard to feel part of a team and I would have to drive 20 minutes out of my way to weigh in, so I have never taken part.

Villa Battle To Draw
Villa Park
Attendance: 39 602
I sometimes wonder who we think we are! Coming out of the game there seemed to be a fair bit of moaning and listening to the Tom Ross phone in some fans were coming on saying we were rubbish and we blew it, or we shouldn't be drawing against 'teams like that'.
We weren't rubbish. We weren't great either but then, we are a small squad (boring I know) and hopefully building. We don't have an automatic right to turn over teams like Blackburn, Mark Hughes has done a good job of assembling a very tough, physical team who bully and grind themselves to many decent results.
Today Blackburn game to stifle the game, not a criticism, just with five men in their midfield, a fact. I had a feeling after the first 10 odd minutes that it would go either way and only by a goal, as usual I was wrong but it was throughout and edgy game - not helped by a very fussy ref who kept stopping the game every time the Villa players made a tackle but ignored some atrocious tackles from the Blackburn boys (until the end when to be fair he did give two yellow cards out).
The midfield laboured today but then, as said, they were against a team who came to stifle and then get us on the break and sure enough - following a missed penalty that looked well saved by Carson (I can't really comment if it was a fair penalty or not as I've not seen any replays) they did get us with a sucker punch on the 68th minute. I feared that would be that.
Villa however, although not playing flowing or pretty football, have a new steal and resilience, it is good to see at the very least that they don't give up and that they will keep fighting and an equalising goal taken superbly from a free kick by Ashley Young was no more than we deserved. It was the normal yin and yang of only playing one good half per game. We were brighter and MON had set us up to go for it in the second half with 3 men up front (Ashley Young moving to the right and Barry covering left midfield). That was a brave move.
Marlon Harewood also came on - many agreed he was unlucky not to have started as Gabby isn't really at the races at the moment and might well need a bit of a rest - and although he failed to make the impact he did against Liverpool, he did hit the cross bar. Villa also had a goal disallowed for off-side. I can't say if it was off or not BUT to be fair to the linesman, he did raise his flag very early so I'd guess he was right.
So there you go, 1-1 and Villa go 5th. We'd have taken that wouldn't we? Although with Ashley Young so nearly scoring at the death from a free kick, it could have been sooo different!
Now for the signings? Villa have to bring in some new blood and as Tom Ross said in his phone in, the hard work will have been done now hopefully, they'll know who they want and now just have to hope that the moves start happening so that teams waiting for replacements get who they want and release those we are after. It could be a very interesting week. Without new blood, in my humble opinion, although we'll finish top ten, we'll not have the legs to make it to Europe. With one or two top quality arrivals, Europe is there for the taking.
Tick, tock, tick, tock. The time is running out and the Villa fans are expecting. We deserve European nights back!

"…Dog empathy – and how it compares to the human version-
– is another possible area of investigation.
"Dog-lovers are convinced their dogs know what they're feeling.
Honestly, I'm on the fence about that.
Maybe that's because of my own dogs," said Berns.
"Skeptics out there — a.k.a. cat people — think dogs are just good actors.
I don't think it's quite like that.
But how far it goes – I'd love to figure out."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Sonic28, Jan 4, 2014.
I hadn't seen it come back to life yet. I'm there!
I'm so excited, but so afraid at the same time. x.x;
It'll pick up more once we start hearing some names, right now it's all about just who we want.
Again, it isnt really a matter of running the ballnor passing. Its about when the play is called. If I call a run on first down, gain a yard, IMO, i need a high percentage play, probaly a pass to net me at least 5 yards to keep me on schedule. I call my high percentage pass on 1 st down, get 6-7 yards, if I wanna run the next two plays, a mediocre run game should get 3- 4 yards in two plays. Thats how I view playcalling. Not saying to get stuck in a pattern, my thought is that on first or second down you gotta have 5 plus and take your shots occasionally. To operate that way, your team needs a certain amount of discipline as far as penaties go. Just sayin it cant be run for a yard run for two and be in 3rd and 7. Too much pressure on your pass game.
So how about those last two games?
This may have already been posted but it's tough keeping up with the 37 threads on the matter.
That last sentence kinda made me feel bad for the guy. He knew most of his own fan base wanted him gone.
Classy dude though. I like him a lot more now that he's not the Titans HC.
I'm glad we won!
They cost us 3 draft spots.
Watch the game changer go at 8
We draft so well in the top ten too. lol

Story by Connie McDougall
The Steering Committee for Continuous Improvement (from left to right): Dan Hess, Doug Downing, Ian Stewart, Gary Karns, Alec Hill. They "rowed" the School of Business and Economics to international accreditation.
AACSB Accreditation Gives SPU's School of Business and Economics the Edge
Hill was actually in California to accept the honor granted by AACSB -- The International Association for Management Education, but since his 11-year-old daughter wanted to visit Disneyland, they made it a family outing. That's how the man who led SPU to a distinction reserved for the top one-third of U.S. business schools ended up on the Indiana Jones ride four times -- a fitting image since the route to accreditation was at least as arduous as any of Jones' adventures.
The School of Business and Economics (SBE) was notified of its accreditation by AACSB on April 9, after an intense seven-year team effort that stretched resources and talents to the limit. Curriculum was revamped, syllabi changed. There were exhaustive surveys, assessments and detailed examinations of what was working and what was not.
"It was never just about accreditation," says Gary Karns, associate professor of marketing and chair of the committee overseeing Seattle Pacific's graduate business curriculum. "Accreditation is a byproduct of being a good school."
Hill adds that there was a deep drive among school faculty members to be the best. Early in the process, he remembers a pointed remark by Associate Professor of International Business Joanna Poznanska. "She asked us, 'Do you want to play Carnegie Hall or wedding receptions?' We decided we wanted to play Carnegie Hall," says Hill.
To guide the application for accreditation, Hill formed the Steering Committee for Continuous Improvement. "That became our mantra," he says. A central team was formed with four professors, each heading a committee that targeted a specific area: undergraduate programs, graduate programs, faculty development and tenure/promotion.
Associate Professor of Economics Doug Downing chaired the Undergraduate Committee. Overall, few changes had to be made, but there were gaps in the offerings for students. "We did a very detailed analysis of our program, and surveyed students, alumni and employers," he says. "We found that students needed more opportunities to work on oral presentations and communication." To that end, a class in managerial communication was created.
Ian Stewart, professor of accounting, chaired the Faculty Development Committee, an assignment that he knew could have led to faculty revolt if done poorly. "We created a system in which each professor had a peer partner. They swapped class materials and sat in on each other's classes," he says. "In essence they were checking up on each other."
In many ways, this flew in the face of traditional concepts of academic freedom. "Those of us 'longer in the tooth' were brought up in the old school, where you teach whatever you want," laughs Stewart. "We were intruding on that old model and making the teaching process more public, much the way research is public and peer-reviewed."
In addition, faculty members were encouraged to increase the quantity and quality of their scholarship. "This put a tremendous burden on them," acknowledges Stewart, but in the end SBE boasts a faculty that balances scholarship and teaching, key points to AACSB.
Credibility was especially important since SBE was rejected for accreditation in 1993. "Every year since then we worked on it, and in 1998 two outside reviewers gave us a thorough look-over," says Hill. "When we applied in 1999, AACSB could have turned us down again, saying we weren't ready, so we held our breath."
Now that the School of Business and Economics has received AACSB's seal of approval, the entire University will benefit. Accreditation places Seattle Pacific in an exclusive club. Not only does SPU, as an AACSB-accredited institution, join the top tier of business schools in the nation, but it also becomes the only one of the nearly 100 members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities so honored.
"We'll be on embassy lists now," says Hill, and he means that literally. International students prefer accredited business schools, and where Seattle Pacific is not a household name -- back East for instance -- "this puts us on the radar screen."
