Rookie Mini-Camp: Day Two Review
The Houston Texans are wrapping up their rookie mini camp this weekend and the rookie are adjusting as best as they can at the moment. Days consist of three meetings with a walk-though on the field and a full practice of all three phases.
After their initial introduction into the NFL the second day allowed some players to settle into what are the new expectations of the Texans.
Day Two Review
Louis Nix III Absent the Next Two Days
Head Coach Bill O'Brien let the media know that Nix III was returning to South Bend to attend his graduation ceremony from Notre Dame. O'Brien said,
"I thought it was important that we let him go back to Notre Dame and walk with his graduating class, so that's what we did."
Nix III is set to return to Houston late Sunday or early Monday morning to prepare of OTAs in two weeks.
Tom Savage With Plenty on His Plate
There is no mistake why there is not another quarterback in rookie camp and that is for Savage to get as much one on one time with quarterbacks coach George Godsey teaching the offense. Savage has been working on footwork and learning the offense at an accelerated rate. He was the first Texans rookie on the field today and started working early on his drops and getting snaps from his center.
There was not as much throwing today compared to day one, but Savage has another solid day on the field. Savage was efficient with the throws from the 20 yards deep and in, which majority of the passing game was focused on. In 7-on-7, Savage was getting rid of the ball at the top of his drop and making quick decisions. There is plenty of more room to grow for Savage, but the initial start to his Texans career has been a positive step.
Rice Kicker To Be Ready For OTAs
Chris Boswell has been slowed by an appendectomy he had prior to the draft and has been limited in kicking duties on the field. The reality of the situation he is here to compete with current Texans kicker Randy Bullock for the week one job when the season opens. The competition starts when OTAs kickoffs in two weeks.
Pagan Slowly Coming Along
Defensive End Jeoffery Pagan is slowly working his way back to the field after O'Brien said the rookie was recovering from an injury late in Alabama's season. Pagan was slowed by a shoulder injury which led to his draft stock to slip, but he is the prototypical defensive end (6-3, 310 lbs.) for Romeo Crennel's scheme.
Nathan Slaughter Settles In
Wide Receiver Nathan Slaughter looked much more comfortable with the offense and the NFL life on day two. He showed his ability in 7-on-7 drills to get into seams in the secondary and create when the ball is in his hands. He has good quickness in and out of breaks and made some nice catches pushing up the seams of the defense. Slaughter will be a name to watch especially with little settled in the wide receiver position besides the first three spots.
Ankrah and His Position Change
Outside Linebacker Jason Ankrah is making a position change from this Nebraska days as a defensive end to linebacker in Houston. He looks very natural in his position change, and at 6-3 and 262 pounds he fits the bill as a 3-4 outside linebacker under Crennel. He has good movement skills on the edge and it looks like he has been playing the position for some time. His real test will come when full pads start, but he has picked up on what Coach Mike Vrabel is asking from the rookie.
Alfred Blue Showing Why He Is a Bill O'Brien Running Back
There was some question on why Blue was taken by the Texans especially with his low workload at LSU. He showed today the part of his game that did not get enough credit, his pass catching ability. Blue showed he can lineup in the backfield, motion out and lineup in the slot or wide and be a true receiving threat. He has soft hands and caught the ball with ease with his big catch radius.
Blue's big transition will be on how he handles pass protection and running the football, but seeing him in space catching the ball is a pleasant surprise.
Better Day for Andre Hal
The rookie cornerback has a better day two and looks like he has taken his play up a level. Hal played much more physical with receivers off the line of scrimmage and looked to be directing traffic on the field with his communication to his teammates. Hal will get his real test with bigger wide receivers arrive to camp and at the moment there is not a receiver over 6-0 in rookie camp at the moment.
Tight Ends in Camp
Labeled a tight end at Utah, Anthony Denham (6-4, 235 lbs.) has been learning the nuances of position from alignment to blocking from his hand starting in the ground. =He showed today on the field what made him successful for the Utes and that is catching the ball in one on one situations and boxing out defenders. Denham has a big learning curve and at the moment he could be an H-Back or a wide receiver, but H-Back looks like his position for the Texans.
Arizona State's Chris Coyle (6-4, 243 lbs.) has shown he is fast learner in regards to what tight end John Perry is asking from the position group and some ability to catch in the passing game. Not excelling in one skill compared to the rest, Coyle is a solid player who will have to work to make the Texans practice squad. He is a technician with what he does and is a solid all around player in terms of what the tight end position is asking in the Texans offense.
C.J. Fiedorowicz is a technician with everything he does and he just has the ability to move people with ease. He is able to display this in drills moving blocking dummies with ease and his arms a so long he can create space in a hurry. Fiedorowicz is as close to a what NFL teams want in their inline tight end and he has the mental makeup to power defenders instead of the finesse blocking used by the Texans tight ends in previous seasons.
Jadeveon Clowney Update
There has been plenty of speculation on what type of player Clowney would be at the NFL level and the term "lazy" was used often. The number one overall selection has been anything but that for the Texans. Flanked by linebacker Coach Mike Vrabel, Clowney has shown some leadership qualities with his teammates and most importantly asking questions to coaches. He is first in drills and there is a concerted effort on Clowney's part to learn his technique needed to play outside linebacker.
Vrabel and Romeo Crennel make sure there is teaching going on all the time with their defensive players and Clowney is treated no different. They are teaching him from the ground up and seeing him take to the position and what Vrabel is preaching is a site to see.

BCS Rankings: Why the SEC Deserves to Have the Top 2 Teams in LSU & AlabamaOctober 16, 2011
The SEC has been regarded as the power conference in college football, and they have boasted teams such as South Carolina, Auburn, LSU, Alabama and Arkansas.
The conference has the past six national champions, including last year's champion Auburn Tigers.
The top two teams in the country right now are the No. 1-ranked Tigers and the No. 2-ranked Crimson Tide, and they are both scheduled to meet on November 5th to likely determine the fate of both teams.
Alabama is led by RB Trent Richardson, and the Tide have enough balance on offense to practically run any play they choose. The focal point of the Tide offense is to control the tempo of the game and grind the opponent into submission.
The Tide won the 2009 National Championship, and they are looking like they could roll all the way to New Orleans as they really don't have any games left that could present a challenge after the match-up with the Tigers.
LSU prides themselves on a dominating defense and a manageable offense led by QBs Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee. The Tigers also have an excellent balance on offense as they do everything they need to in order to win the game, and the defense takes care of the rest.
These two teams deserve to be at the top of the SEC and the rankings because they are the best teams in college football and they have proven that fact week-in and week-out.
It would not be a surprise if both teams held onto their rankings and met on Jan. 3 to decide the BCS National Championship.

Les Miserables Reveals New 'Jean Valjean' Poster
On the heels of last month's release of the first teaser poster for Les Miserables, which re-created Emile Bayard's iconic image of little Cosette, we now have our second character poster from the film's official website, this time of Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean:
The tagline, "Freedom Is Mine", is from the first song Valjean sings after being released from prison, having spent 19 years on a chain gang for stealing a loaf of bread to save his starving family:
"Freedom is mine, the earth is still,
I feel the wind, I breathe again,
And the sky clears, the world is waking.
Drink from the pool, how clean the taste.
Never forget the years, the waste.
Nor forgive them what they've done.
They are the guilty, everyone.
The day begins, and now let's see,
What this new world will do for me..."
Then he winds up breaking his parole after learning that the world is none-too-forgiving to a former convict, regardless of the crime, and spends the next 20 years being chased by the ruthless Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe), who I expect will be getting his own character poster soon.
Speaking of character posters, another was recently spotted (and posted on Tumblr) at New York's NBC Experience Store. That one was of Marius and Cosette (Eddie Redmayne and Amanda Seyfried), with a tagline from their duet, "A Heart Full of Love."
So there's definitely more coming, and hopefully one of the barricade boys soon. Another trailer is rumored to be on the horizon - possibly next week - as well.
Les Miserables opens in theaters on Christmas Day.

Man sentenced to 20 years for murder
Sound off on the important issues at
ANCHORAGE - A man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Monday for suffocating his fiancee with a pillow, then dumping her beaten body in a creek.
Brian Hurley, 43, had been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 28-year-old Isabell Matthews.
Matthews was found dead Dec. 10, 2005, near the mouth of a creek in Anchor Point, more than 200 miles from the couple's apartment in south Anchorage. Her body was wrapped in black plastic bags and tied to a sled.
Hurley was found wandering in a daze nearby wearing only one shoe.
He had a record of more than 15 years of abusing wives, girlfriends, children and animals. Previous wives, family members and roommates had sought restraining orders against Hurley, according to court records.
Hurley insisted the death was accidental.
Corps of Engineers reissues mine permit
ANCHORAGE - The Army Corps of Engineers has reinstated a permit that will allow construction of the Rock Creek Mine near Nome.
The permit was issued Aug. 21. The corps suspended the permit Dec. 6 in response to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by Trustees for Alaska and the Western Mining Action Project.
The plaintiffs took issue with plans that called for the use of toxic chemicals to extract gold. The plaintiffs claimed that the agency violated the National Environmental Policy Act by issuing a permit for the mine and mill project without preparing an environmental assessment to independently determine effects on human health and the environment.
They also claimed that the agency did not consult with local tribes to satisfy National Historic Preservation Act requirements.
Corps officials announced Tuesday that they had determined that Alaska Gold Co.'s permit was consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
The permit is expected to become effective March 13 when the final paperwork is signed by Col. Kevin J. Wilson, commander of the Alaska District.
"I'm confident that this decision is a positive reflection of our efforts to provide an equitable balance that is in the public's best interest," Wilson said.
The corps reached a "finding of no significant impact" in an environmental assessment.
Official kills moose wounded by arrow
KENAI - A wildlife official destroyed a moose which had been severely injured by an arrow. William McLeod, 57, of Kenai, turned himself in, saying the injury was an accident.
"When we found her we could tell right away she was hurting," said Larry Lewis of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The arrow was embedded deep in the stomach.
Lewis shot the suffering animal Feb. 14 after determining there was nothing he could do for it. A local charity was called to collect the meat. Authorities backtracked the blood trail.
"We were able to narrow it down to a few houses where we started talking to people," said Lt. Steve Bear of the Bureau of Wildlife Enforcement.
McLeod said he shot the moose in an attempt to dissuade the animal from threatening his pet dog, Bear said.
McLeod told Bear he had removed the tip of the arrow with the intent of scaring off the animal, not hurting it. Lewis confirmed there was no point on the arrow.
Troopers believe McLeod's story, since he turned himself in and seemed emotionally distraught, Bear said.
"We don't feel poaching was in any way McLeod's intent, but we can't forget about it either, so he will be charged with taking a cow moose out of season," Bear said.
Airport job fair to be held Saturday
ANCHORAGE - Over 400 jobs will be available at the 2007 Alaska Transportation Career and Airport Job Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport - North Terminal.

Airport in N. Dakota named for Eielson
MAYVILLE, N.D. - A new airport in North Dakota will be named for pioneer aviator Carl Ben Eielson.
Eielson made history in 1921 by providing the first air mail service in Alaska, flying between Fairbanks and McGrath in four hours. It's a distance that took dog sleds 20 days to cover.
The Carl Ben Eielson Regional Airport is expected to be completed by 2010. Eielson's birthplace in Hatton is about 10 miles from the airport.
Eielson also is known for flying the first airplane across the Arctic Ocean, along with Australian explorer Hubert Wilkins, in 1928. They later flew air explorations over the Antarctic Ocean.
Eielson and a co-pilot died in a 1929 crash in Siberia while attempting to rescue 15 passengers of the Nanuk, a cargo vessel trapped in ice.

For Statesboro, that road began in the spring, and coach Steve Pennington expects things to run smoothly when about 100 boys hit the fields today at 3:30 p.m.
"We want to pick up right where we left off from spring practice," he said. "We just consider the summer a long halftime. It's not like we're starting over. We will hit the ground full speed. We will cover every facet of the game the first day."
Teams across the state are limited by the GHSA to shorts, shoulder pads and helmets the first week. Pennington, in his fourth year at SHS, hopes to have his team more intense on Friday than they'll be today before donning full gear on Monday.
Another concern for teams across the southern portion of the state is the often intense heat that comes with August football. Although highs are expected to top out in the low 90s this week, Pennington said he and his staff will still mandate breaks every fifteen minutes.
As for the football, Pennington's plans for the first three days of camp are clear: "By Friday, we want to make sure that we've done enough to create enough soreness in them that they want to go home over the weekend and rest. We want to knock all the rust off in these three days so that when we come back Monday we're not slowed down whatsoever."
The Blue Devils (9-2, 2006) hope to cover their entire special teams play this week. As far as figuring out who's going to line up where, the SHS coaches already have a pretty good idea of who will be where from spring practice. Pennington said summer growth spurts are usually the x-factor in fall position changes.
Today's workout will wrap-up around 6:30 p.m.
"Our team is well acclimated with each other," Pennington added. "They've seen each other. The only thing different is they may see a few more girls (today) than they have all summer."

No 'Halo' Effect - September Game Sales Slump
Oct 17, 2008 12:29 PM PT
U.S. video games sales were down slightly in September, according to data from research firm NPD Group. Sales of hardware, software and accessories dropped 7 percent from the year-ago period to US$1.27 billion.
"This is the first true monthly decline the industry has experienced since March of 2006," said Anita Frazier, an NPD analyst. "It's important to keep in mind, however, that this month's 7 percent decline is against a month (September 2007) that itself was up 75 percent from the prior September."
Hardware sales dropped 9 percent year-over-year to $497.98 million. Title sales dropped from $656.53 million to $616.09 million. Accessory sales also slowed, dropping nearly $5 million to $152.59 million, a 3 percent decline.
Despite the dip, Frazier expects 2008 to be a record-breaking year for the console gaming industry.
"Overall, the health of the video games industry remains quite strong, despite the rocky economic conditions. Tracking against typical industry seasonality, the U.S. video games industry is positioned to realize $22 billion or more in revenues for the year," she said.
The Halo Effect
One factor playing into the comparatively lower sales for September 2008 was last year's release of "Halo 3" for the Xbox 360. The title broke all previous sales records, moving 3.3 million units in its first few weeks. It's also credited with helping Microsoft sell more than 500,000 Xbox 360 consoles. In total, the much-anticipated title accounted for $226 million in sales last year.
The "Halo 3" launch accounted for a full 35 percent of software sales in 2007, according to Frazier.
"'Halo 3' skewed last September's results. Taking out the 'Halo' effect, sales would have grown," Michael Cai, a Parks Associates analyst, told the E-Commerce Times.
Excluding "Halo," "software sales were up 43 percent," noted Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Morgan analyst.
Gaming Economics
The Nintendo Wii continued to outsell its competitors, outrunning them by a margin of nearly two to one in September. Consumers picked up 687,000 Wiis. The Microsoft Xbox 360 came in second with 347,000 consoles sold; Sony's PlayStation 3 placed third, with gamers purchasing 232,400 units. Sales for the PlayStation 2 remained solid with 173,500.
"One thing that stood out is that a price cut helped Xbox 360 to regain some lost momentum. What the retail numbers don't show is how much Microsoft is making through Xbox Live online services," Cai said.
Nintendo led in portable game sales as well, moving 536,800 Nintendo DS consoles, while Sony's PlayStation Portable sold 238,100 units.
In software sales, "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" for the Xbox 360 was the No. 1 seller. Released in mid-September, the title sold 610,000 units. "Wii Fit" came in second.
The PS3 and the PS2 each claimed just one title in the Top 10: "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" for the PS3 took the No. 5 spot, while "Madden NFL '09" for the PS2 came in 10th.
Two PC games performed notably. Although PC game sales do not factor into NPD's console game sales figures, there were two that warranted mention: "Spore" realized sales of 406,000 units, and "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning" sold 274,000, which would put them both in the top 10 list of combined console, portable and PC games sales for the month, Frazier said.
Weathering the Economic Downturn
Digital service and content revenue will grow significantly for all three consoles, according to Cai.
Digital sales could also help console makers weather the current economic crisis, even though the video game industry may experience relatively little economic impact from the current global economic crisis.
"In terms of the economy, I believe the gaming industry will feel less impact compared to other consumer industries," Cai predicted. "Consumers still need to be entertained, and if they decide to cut down on travel, that means more gaming hours at home. Nevertheless, expect to see more bundles with free games from console makers. Gamers may also change their purchase behavior a little bit. There'll be more bargain hunting this holiday season."
Meanwhile, sales in October will be up, Wedbush Morgan's Pachter expects, but the increase will be less than 20 percent. "That should demonstrate that video games weather a downturn well," he told the E-Commerce Times.
"I do believe we market analysts need to keep at the forefront of our minds this economic slump," said InStat analyst Stephanie Ethier, "and how a number of factors will contribute to a slowdown in sales for a number of consumer electronic product segments that are typically hot sellers at the imperative holiday season -- imperative to consumer electronic suppliers and manufacturers alike.
"As a result," Ethier told the E-Commerce Times, "I've personally adjusted my forecasts down for 2008 and 2009 to reflect the impact of negative economic factors such as the worsening credit crisis, consumers' ongoing fear of inflation, and a dismal housing market."

Pastrana, FARC leader to resume peace talks
From staff and wire reports
SAN VICENTE, Colombia (CNN) -- Colombian President Andres Pastrana and FARC leader Manuel Marulanda shook hands and hugged Friday afternoon after signing an initiative to reopen peace talks between the government and the rebels.
The agreement specifies that the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) "unfreezes the process of the peace talk negotiations," that talks will resume February 14, and that FARC will "not be opposed to projects to manually eradicate illegal crops," what might be a specific reference to "Plan Colombia," Pastrana's wide-ranging effort to stop the production of cocaine in Colombia.
"I believe today we revived the peace process," Pastrana said during a news conference immediately after the signing of the initiative.
The agreement, announced at a joint appearance in San Vicente, was signed by the two men after a representative for each read it aloud.
The agreement invites other Colombian groups to join the talks. Pastrana specified that the invitation was addressed to "everyone that has been part of the process, and those who have doubts of the process."
Pastrana surprised the nation last week when he demanded to see Marulanda as a condition for allowing the rebels to continue their control of a Switzerland-sized enclave "safe haven" that the Pastrana government had conceded to FARC in a bid to end the country's protracted civil war.
"After a joint evaluation of the process, we found the weaknesses and the strengths," Marulanda said. "We have solid basis upon which we can work."
"Both agree to continue with these talks," Marulanda added.
Pastrana flew into the rebel-held enclave on Thursday to meet with the 69-year-old guerilla leader but could reach no agreement with Marulanda after eight hours of talks.
After spending the night in San Vicente Thursday as what Pastrana called a "goodwill gesture," talks resumed Friday morning.
CNN Correspondent Harris Whitbeck and Reuters contributed to this report.

What is scirpus? What is it used for?
Scirpus is a member of the sedge family, an aquatic, grass-like plant that grows in wetlands and moist soil. It is also known as the bur reed, sparganium or grass weed. Approximately 200 varieties of scirpus exist in the world, some of which can reach a height of eight feet or more.
According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, scirpus is neutral and bitter, and works with the Spleen and Liver meridians. It has two important functions: 1. To remove blood stagnation; 2. To stop pain and promote the flow of qi.
Scirpus stimulates menstrual flow and promotes the production of milk. It invigorates the blood, reduces pain following childbirth and treats abdominal masses. Animal studies have found that scirpus can inhibit the grown of cancerous tumors in mice, but these tests have yet to be conducted on humans.
How much scirpus should I take?
The recommended dosage of scirpus is 3-9 grams, placed in boiling water and drunk as a decoction.
What forms of scirpus are available?
Dried slices of scirpus rhizome are readily available at most Asian markets and specialty stores. Scirpus extracts and powders may also be available.
What can happen if I take too much scirpus? Are there any interactions I should be aware of? What precautions should I take?
Because scirpus stimulates menstrual flow, it should not be used by women who or pregnant, or during periods of heavy menstruation. At this time, there are no known drug interactions with scirpus. As always, make sure to consult with a licensed health care provider before taking scirpus or any other herbal remedy or dietary supplement.

By all means, Ubuntu Linux and Canonical Ltd. have made a spectacular arrival on the Linux scene lately. The combination is like a dream come true for many, many Linux aficionados: tightly selected bleeding edge packages to focus the distribution on a single CD, corporate backing, 18 month support, that all sounds like a formidable package.

That suggests to me the card is probably ISA-based; most distros stopped doing ISA auto-detection because it can hang some machines solid and ISA is a long way outdated by now. Even if the card isn't autodetected there's no reason to always load the modules manually at boot - just work out what module you need and the options it requires and add it to /etc/modules.conf (for 2.4-kernel) or /etc/modprobe.conf (2.6-kernel). Then it'll be loaded at every boot with no intervention.

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kyle Busch and Joey Logano claimed the final two spots in NASCAR's championship race with their finishes in Sunday's Can-Am 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. Logano won the race, which went to double overtime, and Busch was second. With six drivers vying for only two positions in next week's finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the Chase for the Sprint Cup drivers rose to the occasion in the final 60 laps in a tense battle that stretched into overtime.
On the first overtime restart, Matt Kenseth, who was leading the race, was nudged by Alex Bowman, who had dropped low on the track to block Busch. Kenseth spun out and into the outside wall, ruining his chances of advancing to the finale. Busch and Logano zoomed by.
Logano's win gave him an automatic berth to the title race -- joining Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards -- and Busch held off Denny Hamlin, whose daring pit call late in the race to stay out on older tires did not pan out, for the last spot on points. "Man this feels so good!" Logano said from victory lane. "I never felt this good about a win before. So much on the line -- everyone brings their A-game when it comes to winning championships, and this team did it. Our team did exactly what we needed to do. Man, I feel like I won the Daytona 500 again."
Kevin Harvick, who had won six of eight Phoenix races and had never been eliminated from the current Chase format, failed to win and did not advance to the final. He will join Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch in missing the cut.
Johnson will be going for his seventh title, which would tie him with NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr. Edwards seeks his first title after losing on a tie-breaker to Tony Stewart in 2011. Busch will try to become the first driver to successfully defend his title under this Chase format. And Logano is going for his first title, but has advanced to his second finale.

People say "actions speak louder than words". Do you think this can be applied to the dating world?
Women say they want a good guy, but we always notice a majority of them fall for the bad dude or the abusive jerk, and continue going back for them.
Men can do the same, but it doesn't seem to happen as often, from what I've observed.
What do you think about this?
Most Helpful Girl
Yes, I'm a strong believer of this. A guy's actions will make it or break it. I go for the nice guys but I want them to show me that they care for me instead of saying a whole bunch of things to sweet talk me. Even if it's just the little things, they mean a whole lot more than saying you're going to do all these things for me in the future. Words mean very little to me unless you can follow through with action.
As for the bad boy thing, I can't really say much about that. I don't know the appeal and I've been friends with many who disagree with bs in relationships and go for straightforward good guys when they want it to mean something.10|10|0

It turns out that being a baby in Italy is akin to being a celebrity - mobbed everywhere you go and excessively praised for your beauty/chubby cheeks/ability to drool.
I'm a bit worried by how much baby D loved all the attention. She's even mastered the art of the fake smile, which she plasters on rather frequently in public these days. She probably realised that smiling at every compliment received in Italy would injure her rather pendulous cheeks, so opted for the faux-but-only-if-you-know-the-kid grin, which she launched aggressively at every passerby.
I know from experience in London that Italian restaurants tend to be the most baby-friendly but I had no idea that pretty much all Italians are obsessed by babies. And I'm not just talking about grandmothers. Sullen teenagers of both sexes, kids and tattooed men in their 30s were among the throngs flocking to D as she made her way from town to town along the Cinque Terre.
I should point out that most people (namely 60+ year-olds in better shape than me) hike from town to town. We didn't. We carried D in her oversized pushchair-cum-carriage up and down the stairs at each and every train station to get from one town to the next and in some towns we also had to carry her up the stairs to get to the main streets.
So while this holiday was super fun for D, who got to take in the sites and have plenty of new experiences, Mummy and Daddy were basically unpaid labourers, huffing and puffing away as they escorted the mini-celeb from place to place (or rather, admirer to admirer).
In addition to developing what will possibly turn into the world's biggest ego, D had plenty of other reasons to smile in Italia. She went on her first boat ride, had her first dip - make that splash - in the sea and went on her first set of playground swings.
She also hit the beach (see pic above), tasted gelato (I know I'm supposed to be keeping her off the sweet stuff, but when in Rome...) and developed a penchant for peaches. They're her new favourite food of all time. I was thrilled about this until I realised that peaches aid digestion a little too well. Post-peach eating frenzy, baby D pooed four times the following morning (before 10 am). No wonder we ran out of clothes.
While baby D generally had a blast being worshipped, adored and having every need catered to, the rest of us - mummy, daddy and buggy - didn't fare quite so well.
Upon returning home, the beloved, albeit gargantuan, Bugaboo appears to have heaved its last breath (going up and down those stairs in Italy with a secondhand pram was apparently not a good plan) and the seat part has broken, while Daddy developed an aversion to Italian food (the horror!) after a bout of food poisoning in Italy.
Meanwhile, I had quite the opposite issue, eating everything that came my way. Since I've been back, I've been asked twice (by my husband, who is now firmly locked in the dog house), if I'm pregnant again because I've returned from Italy with a not-insignificant paunch.
As far as I can tell, no sibling for baby D just yet - only a phantom pasta baby that won't go away.

I really like gifts but my true love language is time, do you hear that kids!
I was hoping to get to NYC for a Broadway Play this Mother's Day. It's prolly not gonna happen on Sunday as the weather has been absolute crap here in Pennsylvania so my enthusiasm has been wavering (and thus my planning). The idea of running around in the rain, #nocando. But I'm looking forward to a little gift to me.

DADT is responsible for discharges irrespective of merit, the loss of benefits and retirement and an unknown number of violent assaults and murders by bigots who were empowered by it's open bigotry and branding of GLBT service members. The brainchild of Nunn, Powell and Clinton, it codified military bigotry and made it the law of the land.
Colin Powell thought that endorsing Obama would get him a plumb job but Obama had to placate the pro war crowd with Hillary the Hawk and he retained Bushls Republican war CEO Gates.
Now Powell is soldiering on, making another attempt to snuggle up to the new administration in hopes of at least being an ambassador or something. But he has a lot or memories to erase. The My Lai cover-up. The first Gulf War Kill Box. And his campaign of lies about WMDs to justify both Clintons and Bush's genocide in Iraq.
That marching band represents the lone of the biggest concessions we've gotten from the Obama, and His courage in permitting them to march is awesome. Simply breathtaking. It's on a par with appointing this or that LGBT person to this or that, which would be difficult to avoid given our numbers. And it's even more heartwarming coming from the man who wouldn't stop shouting 'god's in the mix'.

Isabgol- The Colon cleanser
Isabgol (psyllium husks) a natural vegetable product in highly purified form is nature's highest soluble fiber obtained from plantago ovata (Isabgol) seeds.It is a naturally healthy fiber and is not absorbed in the intestine. It has no known interaction with other drugs, and does not interfere with the absorption of vitamin and minerals.
This product is mainly used as a bowel regulator.Isabgol absorbs water and swells up to give increased bulk in the intestine. The fiber present in Isabgol is soluble in nature. This fiber is different from the other type of fibers such as wheat bran and cellulose, which are insoluble.
Isabgol is recommended for relief of problems associated with chronic constipation such as piles, fissures and fistulas. Isabgol helps to moisten the hard stools and brings down the burning sensation after defecation. It helps to reduce strain during defecation in persons suffering from cardio vascular diseases, hernia and pregnancy.
It also increases the moisture content of the stools. This promotes the normal peristaltic movements and the bowel mobility.The fiber present in Isabgol helps to control the blood cholesterol levels.
Isabgol also helps to prevent heart attacks by regulating the serum cholesterol. Isabgol forms a thin layer on the intestines and prevents the absorption of cholesterol in to the arteries. Thus the cholesterol levels in the body is maintained.
It also helps to regulate the blood glucose levels and insulin response by decreasing the absorption of fats and glucose.
Isabgol also helps to clean the gastro intestinal tract by removing the toxins present there along with the bulk. Thus the toxins are excreted from the body. Isabgol also helps to prevent indigestion, and flatulence. It removes any material, which may cause intestinal obstruction.
Isabgol helps to prevent lethargy and gives a feeling of well being and good health.
Isabgol forms a bulk on swelling, it is classified as a bulk-laxative. It is usually effective within 8-12 hours.
Isabgol should be stirred in a full glass of fluid such as water or juice, just before ingestion. Failure to consume sufficient fluid with a bulk laxative decreases its efficacy. Intake of the husk without fluids should be strictly avoided.
Consumed with water prior to meals, reduces consumption of fat and calories.
Recommended to supplement fiber deficient diet may be used 5 to 10 grams daily with a glass of water , syrup, milk, fruit-juice, salted curd or lassi. The Dosage can go up to three times a day as per individual requirements and One teaspoon daily at bedtime is also advised.

I think even before I developed a real appreciation and affection for '80s teen comedies, I loved Say Anything.... In fact, that appreciation might have come because of Say Anything.... After all, there are few others from that time that really captured the timelessness, and moreover, the sophistication of teenage and early adult relationships, and even if some of the other films of the period chronicled them in broader or bigger ways, understanding the subtleties and nuances of a well-told story in this well-worn genre made me also understand the value of those wish-fulfillment versions.
Fox Home Entertainment released Say Anything... on Blu-ray last month, and it was at the top of my priority list if only to get a chance to watch the film for the millionth time. Unfortunately, other obligations prevented me from getting to it before now, but I know that I'm not the only person who was curious to see whether the new 20th Anniversary Edition surpasses its predecessors or satisfies only the most minimal of upgrade/ double-dip demands. In which case, the Say Anything...: 20th Anniversary Edition is the subject of this week's "Making The (Up) Grade."

MANKATO, Minn. — Before Sunday afternoon's practice, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer talked about rookie linebacker Anthony Barr and offered a preview of something to see.
"We'll start moving him around a little more in some of the rush stuff," Zimmer said. "There's your highlight of the day."
Alas, rain limited some of what fans could see Sunday. Midway through the workout, practice was stopped and moved indoors at Minnesota State Mankato. That resulted in little more than a walk-through being held, and there were fewer fans who could get in to see it.
It marked the first time in more than two weeks of training camp that a practice was moved indoors. The Vikings conclude drills at the school with sessions Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Sunday's practice did see the Vikings get back three defensive backs who didn't play in Friday's 10-6 win over Oakland in the preseason opener. They were cornerbacks Marcus Sherels and Josh Robinson, who had hamstring strains, and safety Andrew Sendejo, who has had a back injury.
Three injured safeties remained out. They were Jamarca Sanford (back), Robert Blanton (hamstring) and Mistral Raymond, who was lost for the night in Friday's first quarter due to concussion-like symptoms.
There is no rain in the forecast for Monday, which includes the last of three night practices during camp. So fans should be able to see more of Barr being moved around as the Vikings seek to turn him loose as a pass rusher.

Dr Tay is a teacher, scholar, and curator.
She is Senior Lecturer in Film at Middlesex University. While on sabbatical in 2010, Dr Tay was Visiting Associate Professor at the School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

When I was in China, one of my favorite beverages (other than lightly sweetened iced jasmine tea) was coconut milk. It came in a bottle, ready to drink, unlike canned coconut milk here which is extremely thick and nothing like the light drink I guzzled in TaiZhou. So for years, I've tried to find that drink… searching on Amazon.com, googling, and scouring the ethnic sections of grocery stores. Nothing.
So I started experimenting with the canned coconut milk, trying to dilute it into the right thickness. Nothing seemed to work.
Until… once I hit on the right thickness, I decided to try adding vanilla and sweetener. That was it!!! It tastes exactly like I remember!
Coconut Milk Drink Recipe
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 cups water (or a little more than that)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla and some truvia to taste
- OR 1 Tbsp sugar-free vanilla syrup (like the kind you can get for coffee)
It's so refreshing! Store in the fridge, and serve over ice.
Some separation might occur in the fridge, but that's normal. Just stir it before you pour.

"I think it was taken with f11"
composition is ok, I like the idea and the metaphore. But I'm not keen on photos with specia meaning, hope you know what I'm talking about I prefer photos of views (mountains, rivers etc). Try to tilt it, it looks for me as if it was falling on one side. I'm not sure. But the idea is nice
I think you've got a great idea there, but for me, the photo has too many elements so I can't decide where the emphasis is. The child in front grabs me first, but he seems to compete with the home in the background. I think a tighter crop might help here.
I agree with AlisonS. The building in the background is too much of a distraction, especially with the red on white.
Agreed with tighter crop. For me though the child looks well dressed, well fed, and happily at play. I don't see the "poverty" if that's what your intention was. Not to say that you need to dress up your models to portray or anything like that, but I don't see the emotions poverty brings.
If anything I see a child's innocence making the best of what he has. Playing in dirt is loads of fun.
Go black n white!
i think...going b/w might do the trick...and i too think that, after much viewing of this photo, the DOF is too wide...could have done with a smaller F number.
and thks for the reviews from all of you. thank you.
I also think the house takes away too much emphasis from the child. But I wouldn't completely eliminate it 'cause I think it is needed to support the caption and theme. A gradient blur in PS could possibly improve the image.

Sports names: Bob Costas, Patrick Dempsey

Bob Costas
NBC's lead Winter Olympics announcer plans to make his return Monday night after being off the air for a week with an eye infection. "Today" host Matt Lauer subbed for Costas one last time on NBC's Sunday night telecast, and NBC said Costas is preparing for his return in prime time Monday. The longtime Olympics host started duty in Sochi with one eye reddened from an infection that he hoped would be remedied quickly. Instead, it spread to his other eye. It made his vision blurry and it was difficult for him to work. His red eyes became a topic on social media.
Patrick Dempsey

Penalised for Raising Children; A New Report Says the Baby-Boom Generation Is Worried about Its Pensions. Jane Hall Reports
Byline: Jane Hall
Ann Willers is a fully signed up member of the last generation that will enjoy a fruitful old age.
A former primary school teacher, the 58-year-old took early retirement two years ago and is enjoying reaping the benefits of her occupational pension scheme.
Or so the headlines would have us believe. For while the mother of three and her husband Stephan, also 58, a retired chartered accountant, are indeed enjoying having escaped the rat race, Ann's Teachers' Pension Scheme is failing to live up to expectations.
And the reason is simple. While Ann started teaching at the age of 22, like many women in the 1970s and 1980s, she gave up work to raise her children - Catherine, now 30, James, 29, and Helen, 25.
Altogether - taking her early retirement into account, a period spent teaching abroad and the time she devoted to being a stay-at-home mother - she has lost 21 years of paying towards both her state and personal pension.
Thanks to her husband's pension, Ann says: "We are not on the breadline, we are comfortable."
But she feels she could be in a better position financially, and believes her children - despite the current concerns about Britain's ailing pensions system and how well it will be able to meet the needs of today's young people in the future - will enjoy a better standard of living than her and Stephan in their twilight years.
"I have been penalised for not working, for when the kids were small, and that really annoys me," Ann says. "You think you are doing the right thing staying at home and looking after your children, but then you find you have lost out on your pension.
"But 30 years ago that is what women did, they didn't go back to work as women do now. I do feel very strongly, however, that women now are missing out on their kids early life. The current economic climate forces woman back to work."
Ann will qualify for her state pension next year "and my bus pass," she adds with a laugh.
She believes her generation has suffered all their lives from being the so-called "baby boomers" born after the Second World War.
"There are so many of us, and if we do go on and live for a long time there is going to be a problem with our pensions being able to keep us.
"On the one hand, we have benefited from being the first generation to inherit our parents' estate. Before that families had little to pass on. But we have benefited from inherited wealth.
"Similarly, our children's generation will hopefully benefit in the same way.
"But our children are also growing up in an age where pensions are very high profile. All my kids have already started funding pensions, which we didn't do with such serious intentions at their age.
"In our day you just assumed you would be taken care of in old age. But things have changed. I think my kids are going to have to work longer, which I think is terribly unfair, but I do believe they are going to have a more financially secure retirement."
Ann's views are mirrored in a new report from Alliance Trust Savings, which reveals young people are nearly twice as likely to think they will have a good standard of living when they stop work as those approaching retirement.
Nearly two-thirds of people of working age said they thought their retired relatives were well off, while 57 per cent expected their own standard of living during retirement to be the same or better.
But while 71 per cent of people under 35 thought they would equal their retired relatives' standard of living, just 38 per cent of baby-boomers over 55 felt the same way.
Hyman Wolanski, head of pensions at Alliance Trust Savings, says: "Economists have long predicted that the baby-boomers will be one of the most comfortably off generations in recent history, but this sunny outlook has clearly not filtered through to those approaching retirement. …

Khloe Kardashian recently debuted a svelte bikini body on the cover of Life & Style magazine, reportedly after dropping 20 pounds in 20 days. "My husband is working out four to six hours a day right now, so I work out with him," the 27-year-old told the publication (husband is basketball star Lamar Odom). "We'll do outside workouts and inside workouts. We're always switching it up, so it's fun."
Khloe's not the only one to have shed off extra pounds -- Hollywood is brimming with a litany of other stars who've worked hard to slim down.

Ottawa Senators
1:00 p.m., CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA
The Penguins stayed strong on Wednesday night with arguable MAF's best performance of the season in a 1-0 win when Marc made 30 saves for his first shutout of the season.
Saying the Penguins have been hot as of late would be the understatement of the century. They are currently on a four game winning streak and have captured 13 of a possible 14 points in the last seven games. Before the streak the Penguins were a pedestrian 7-8-1 and now they are right in the thick of things in the Atlantic Division.
Bing extended his scoring streak to 10 games and has scored 21 points (9+12) during that stretch. Pretty good, right?
The Penguins defeated the Senators in the only other meeting so far this season with Ottawa 5-2 on October 18, 5-2
The Penguins probable lines:
Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis
Matt Cooke - Evgeni Malkin - Max Talbot
Chris Conner - Mark Letestu - Tyler Kennedy
Mike Rupp - Craig Adams - Aaron Asham
Paul Martin - Kris Letang
Alex Goligoski - Derek Engelland
Zbynek Michalek- Brooks Orpik
Marc-Andre Fleury

Helloo again, everyone!!!
I'm catching up on my blog posts and decided to post somenting else today, so here is a fun post!!!
So here is the interview I did with the main characters of Stylo Fantôme's last book, The Bad Ones.
If you haven't read it before HERE is my review of the book.
That being said, let's welcome Con and Dulcie!! Just so you know this interview were made around my Birthday in April. I know, I know, but better late than never, right?! LOL
Beauty and the Beastly Books: Hi Con, hi Dulcie! Thanks for coming and welcome!!! I'm still a bit hungover from my birthday party so please don't, you know, kill me or anything. LOL
(*tries not to look too much at Con so Dulcie won't stab her)
Beauty and the Beastly Books: So I have to tell you, I really relate to the fact you both give no fucks about society and live the way you want. If someone wanted to be free like that what would be the first step, minus all the killing, of course?
Constantine: For me, it's about recognizing that everyone is beneath me. Caring what people think about me is like caring what an ant or a slug thinks about me. Why should I care, when I can squash them so easily?
Dulcie: For me, it's realizing that other people simply don't matter. Their thoughts, opinions, cares, worries. Why should I care about any of that? I'm not them, they're not me, I don't have to deal with them if I don't want to, so why should I let anything they do or think or say bother me?
Beauty and the Beastly Books: Con, what's your favorite thing about Dulcie? And Dulcie, what is yours about Constantine?
Constantine: I love that she's fiercely independent. Dulcie would do just fine without me, I have no doubts about that. She's a survivor. She can take anything life throws at her and roll with it.
Dulcie: He makes things happen. Like he said, I'm content to roll with things, but sometimes, action is needed. Whereas I'm more prone to avoid things, Con has no problem barreling into a situation and solving it however he thinks it needs to be solved. He's truly fearless, which means I never have to be afraid, either.
Beauty and the Beastly Books: And how about the least favorite? What would you say it's each other's biggest flaw?
Constantine: She's in her head too much! She's paranoid, it's crazy. Well, craziER, hahahaha. She doubts everything, has to overthink everything, is constantly questioning everything. She's not able to take anything as it comes to her, not even love or affection.
Dulcie: Grow up with the people I did, and you'd understand why I'm that way, Daddy's Boy. Least favorite thing about Constantine – he's a know-it-all, and it's particularly annoying because he's almost always right, and he loves to prove himself right and then smile that stupid smile that just lets you know that he knows that he's always right. Drives me insane.
(You mean, THAT smile, right?! *points at Con*)
Constantine: you mean MORE insane.
Dulcie: See? This is what I'm talking about. Shut up, Con.
Beauty and the Beastly Books:If you could change anything about the way you both treated each other until now what would it be?
Constantine: I wouldn't change a thing. I think I handled it perfectly.
(*gulps* Sure, Con…)
Dulcie: *this is exactly what I was talking about above* I think … I would've opened up to him more. Been more honest with my feelings earlier on, maybe he wouldn't have gone away for so long. Or if he had, maybe he would've at least felt guilty about it.
Constantine: HA HA HA HA, me feeling guilty. That's hilarious.
Beauty and the Beastly Books: If you ever had kids, what would you name them? Wouldn't Jameson be a good name for a boy? LOL
Constantine: Jameson is an excellent name! But I don't exactly see children in our future.
(*thinks to herself* I definitely know a Jameson that, in another time, could have been Con's son. Why are you looking at me, did I not think that to myself after all?)
Dulcie: I would rather be locked in a room with Frannie for a month than even entertain the idea of possibly having children. Just thinking about it made me throw up in my mouth.
(I have to say, I don't see it either. The Universe wouldn't be that cruel to you guys. Or to the poor child!)
Beauty and the Beastly Books: Dulcie, if you weren't an artist, what would you like to be?
Dulcie: I can't imagine myself doing anything else. It's like … me. It's an extension of myself, it's just what I have to do. I only need three things in life, my art, my music, and Constantine.
Beauty and the Beastly Books: Con, what's your biggest fear?
Constantine: Something happening to Dulcie and not being there to protect her.
*swoons BIGTIME*
Beauty and the Beastly Books: I'm sorry if this one is too intimate, but do you guys ever used those Halloween costumes for other, hm,,things? LOL
Constantine: No, but now that you've mentioned it, that's an excellent idea! God, I'd forgotten all about that dress! We should pull it out.
Dulcie: I burned it after you graduated. Next question.
(*hides from Dulcie death stare*)
Beauty and the Beastly Books: Con, do you ever relate to someone else besides Dulcie or feel sorry for your actions? How about you, Dulcie?
Constantine: What is there to feel sorry for? I wouldn't do the things I do if I wasn't okay with doing them. And no, there is no one on earth like Dulcie.
Dulcie: Relate to? No. But can I be friends with other people? Yes. Strangely enough, Constantine is fine without talking to another human being if he doesn't have to. But I don't mind having a friend here and there, it just depends on the other person. I like genuine people. I mean, they don't have to be crazy like me for me to be able to hang out and have a beer. And yeah, sometimes I feel a little sorry, but again, it depends. I feel sorry that Jared made such stupid decisions that led to him getting caught in the crossfire between Frannie and I. But really, that's more his problem than mine.
Now, I'd like to go on with my interviews tradition of a quickfire Q&A, ok?!
BBB: Favorite color? (I think Con's is red, just saying *looks at red dress and hopes he doesn't have any "ideas"*)
Constantine: HA HA! Red is a gorgeous color, but I gotta say, blue is my personal favorite. Brings out my eyes *wink*
Dulcie: Gag me. Red is my favorite color.
BBB: Coke or Pepsi?
Constantine: I don't drink soda.
(Of course, you don't *rolls eyes* )
Dulcie: Coke
BBB: Day or night?
Constantine and Dulcie: Night time.
BBB: Dogs or cats?
Constantine: I'm not really a pet person.
Dulcie: Me, neither. If I had to choose one, maybe a cat? They seem kind of self-sufficient.
BBB: Would you rather live without sex or ever shedding blood again? *that's mean, right?! Haha*
Constantine: Live without sex!? There'd be even MORE blood shed.
Dulcie: It's not like we wake up and set out looking for ways to kill people, it's not a sport or anything. People just … get in our way. And frankly, I don't think I can answer, because while I definitely couldn't give up sex, I can't guarantee I'd never shed blood again, either.
(Could have fooled me, oops, sorry. Please don't look at me that way!!!)
BBB: Batman or Superman?
Constantine and Dulcie: Batman
(NIIIIIIICE. I knew I liked you for a reason! LOL)
BBB: Perfect place to live?
Constantine: I like the tropics, that's why I picked them.
(You know, I live in the tropics. AND there are a lot of people I dislike, I could point you to a few of them. I'm kidding. Not. *smirks*)
Dulcie: I never thought I'd say it, but I kinda miss the country. I miss seasons.
BBB: Jason or Freddy Kruger?
Constantine and Dulcie: Freddy Kruger
BBB: Perfect date night?
Constantine: Ooohhh, perfect date night … I love when we're spontaneous. When she gets that look in her eye and I know the baseball bat is still in the trunk, and that by the end of the night, something will be destroyed and we'll be naked.
(I'm actually freaked out now!)
Dulcie: He's like a poet, isn't he? So awful. I don't like "date nights", I'd rather just hang out and be us.
BBB: Bed or sofa?
Constantine and Dulcie: Bed
BBB: Books or movies?
Constantine: I love a good action flick.
Dulcie: We don't even own a tv. Books.
*fist bumps Dulcie*
BBB: Favorite food?
Constantine: Thai food
Dulcie: Anything home cooked – fried chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, all that goodness.
BBB: Favorite alcoholic drink or beverage?
Constantine: I like whiskey
Dulcie: I'm more of a beer drinker
BBB: Underwear or Commando?
Constantine: Commando
*tries REALLY hard not to look (Dulcie is such a good killer)*
Dulcie: Please, I'm from a place where the humidity reaches satanic levels. Underwear is necessary, and you're gross, Con.
BBB: And finally, a very important one…favorite Disney movie? (I'mm kidding, don't kill me). But it's totally Beauty and the Beast, right?!
Constantine: I'm gonna say Hercules. I loved Hades in that movie.
(Again, of course you do!)
Dulcie: Little Mermaid. C'mon, chick trying to escape where she came from and become who she truly wants to be, so she runs away, not caring who she left behind or hurt in the process. My kind of movie.
(Hahaha I never thought about it that way. I'm not a big fan of Ariel. LOL)
Thank you so so much for coming and not killing me for these questions! If you guys ever want a third person on your "team" (not for THAT, don't need to look at me like that, Dulcie, let me finish) you know where to find me…I'm not known for liking many people… LOL
Now if you haven't read The Bad Ones yet, what are you waiting for?

It's been a while!
Jeff and I round up all the Mariners news from the trade deadline. Which was none. Exhausted by the effort, we talked about other teams' trades for a bit then circled back to the Mariners, touching on the young players in the way we like to touch on them. Gently. Almost lovingly, but in a admiringly platonic way that's not creepy at all.

MOSCOW (AP) — A prosecutor on Friday asked a Russian court to convict an opposition leader of embezzlement and sentence him to six years in prison.
Alexei Navalny, who led protests against President Vladimir Putin and exposed alleged government corruption, is accused of heading a criminal group that embezzled 16 million rubles ($500,000) worth of timber from a state-owned company while working as an adviser to the provincial governor in Kirov in 2009.
Prosecutor Sergei Bogdanov told the court in the city of Kirov that Navalny should also be fined 1 million rubles ($30,000), saying that his crime is "common" and "banal."
The 37-year-old lawyer, who wants to challenge Moscow's mayoral race in September, has said the charges are revenge for his exposure of high-level corruption and are intended to silence him.
Also on trial is Pyotr Ofitserov, who ran a timber trading company in Kirov during Navalny's time in this northwestern Russian region. Prosecutors asked the court to sentence Ofitserov to five years in prison.
In his final argument Navalny described charges against him as "absurd" and said that prosecutors had failed to provide any evidence that he was involved in embezzlement — or that this embezzlement ever happened.
Navalny said the absurdity of the case was supported by Kirov officials' decision not to sue him and Ofitserov for damages in an arbitration court.
"Who is the victim here?" Navalny said. "Show me where the money was taken from and where it got to! Who profited from it? There's nothing of this kind, but this trial goes on."
Vyacheslav Opalev, a key prosecution witness whose testimony triggered the charges, got a suspended sentence in an expedite trial in December after pleading guilty to conspiring with Navalny to steal timber from state-owned company Kirovles. Navalny insists that Opalev framed him in revenge for Navalny's recommendation to fire Opalev and investigate corruption in his company.
Throughout the trial, testimony of prosecution witnesses clashed with the core arguments of the indictment that claimed Navalny's work in Kirov led to the embezzlement. None of the managers working at Kirovles and who appeared in court, except for Opalev, were able to confirm that Navalny defrauded the company.
