The Movoto Real Estate Blog recently named Lubbock the most boring city in America.
And let's face it, at some time or another most people who live here have probably heard - or perhaps even said - there's nothing to do here.
But is that really true?
Lubbock has lots of adult-specific activities like the First Friday Art Trail and the always-thriving bar and club scene, but there's a lot to do with the family as well.
So if your kids have already started complaining that they're bored, here's a list of family-friendly activities you can take advantage of around Lubbock.
1. Go to the movies
Sunshine just a little too bright for you? A dark, air-conditioned movie theater may be just what you're looking for, and Lubbock has several to choose from.
� Alamo Drafthouse, 120 W. Loop 289. 368-8887.
� Movies 16, 5721 58th St. 796-2804.
� Premiere Cinemas, 6002 Slide Road. 791-7643.
� Tinseltown, 2535 82nd St. 748-7140.
Movies 16 and Tinseltown, both owned by Cinemark, offer mostly new releases in various formats including 2-D, 3-D and XD.
Premiere Cinemas, located in the South Plains Mall, offers a mix of popular releases and smaller, independent films.
Alamo Drafthouse features a wait staff that delivers your food and drinks to you in the theater. Also, ticket sales involve renting a specific seat for the movie, so buying early is encouraged.
Specialty events - such as watching cartoons while eating cereal, classic films and movie quote-alongs - are often featured at Alamo Drafthouse, Movies 16 and Tinseltown. Check each Friday's GO! magazine for the latest updates on that week's offerings.
Lubbock also offers a different kind of movie-going experience. The Stars and Stripes Drive-In, 5101 Clovis Highway, offers double features on each of its three screens. But like the drive-in movies of decades past, there's no theater, no lobby, no surround sound. Your car is your seat - unless you bring lawn chairs - and the sound comes from your own radio, tuned to a specific station.
Because the experience requires darkness, the first movies don't start until 9:10 p.m. A 1950s-themed concession stand is available on site, and an intermisison separates the two features. For more information, call 749-7469.
2. Make a splash
One sure way to cool off on a hot summer day is by hopping into a swimming pool.
Lubbock's city pools, open from 1-6 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays, cost $2 per person for ages 17 and under and $2.50 per person for adults. You can also get a variety of special weekly, monthly or all-summer passes, as well as group rates. For more information, call 775-2670.
� Clapp: 46th Street and Avenue U
� Mae Simmons: East 24th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
� Maxey: 4007 30 St.
� Montelongo: 3200 Bates St.
The Texas Tech Student Leisure Pool is an option to anyone affiliated with Tech. That includes current students or employees of Tech or the Health Sciences Center, and Tech alumni, all of which can bring up to four other people with them.
If you're not in one of those categories, summer memberships to the Texas Tech Rec Center are available to employees of the Lubbock Independent School District, the state of Texas and University Medical Center.
Lubbock's own water park, Lubbock Water Rampage, 6602 Marsha Sharp, is open from noon-6 p.m. daily through Aug. 24. Daily admission is $16.99 per person or $8.99 per person after 4 p.m. Tube rentals ore $2.50 for a single tube or $4 for a double, and bringing a cooler costs an additional $8. Attractions include a lazy river, big wave, a baby pool with slides, two 400-foot slides and a snack shack. New this year is Pirates Cove.

Friday is family swim, open until 8 p.m. For individuals, a daily pass is $5 for members, $10 for nonmembers and $3.50 for children 18 and younger. A monthly individual pass is $35 and a monthly family pass is $75.
3. Prairie Dog Town
They're called the "Dog Days of Summer," so what better way to spend them than with dogs? Well OK, they're rodents, but you get the idea. And Prairie Dog Town in Mackenzie Park is a really cool place to teach your children about both conservation and what the South Plains used to look like.
Prairie Dog Town was established in the early 1930s with four prairie dogs and two burrows. It was the first protected prairie dog colony of its kind. Since then, it's grown so much it had to be moved to its current location off Fourth Street and Interstate-27.
A 2004 study by the Lubbock Convention and Visitor's Bureau listed Prairie Dog Town as the fifth most visited attraction in Lubbock by people who don't live here.
The addition of native grasses now lets visitors see the prairie dogs and burrowing owls the way they were when settlers first arrived in this area.
4. Take a look in a book
Summer reading programs offered through Lubbock Independent School District and the Lubbock Public Library mean any kid who wants to read this summer should have access to books.
LISD is keeping many school libraries open throughout this summer for that very reason. Each Tuesday except July 1, libraries will be open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the following locations:
� Elementary schools: all campuses except those undergoing repairs.
� Middle schools: Hutchinson, 3102 Canton Ave.; O.L. Slaton, 1602 32nd St.
� High school: Monterey, 3211 47th St.
LISD has challenged its students to keep reading during their break from school. Pre-kindergarten through second-grade students have a target of eight books to read this summer, whether on their own or with a parent. Third-graders and up are asked to read five books.
Librarians at Lubbock public libraries are also happy to help young readers pick out a book to suit their tastes.

� Patterson Branch: 1836 Parkway Drive; 767-3300.

As a member of USAA, my husband and I receive their USAA Mailer, the Member's Guide to Financial Security. In our latest issue, there was a wonderful article about the different metro areas in the United States and the best places to move right now based on the housing market. Although it's a great article, I am just summing up the information below from the article written by Kerry Hannon.
There were three areas that were indicated as the median home price projected to increase in 2010 and they were Tacoma, Washington, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and Memphis, Tennessee. The areas where the median home price is projected to decrease in 2010 were Las Vegas, Phoenix, Amarillo, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, and Orlando. Job loss is a major factor. Though unemployment were seems to be leveling off, many borrowers who have been out of work are likely to fall into foreclosure.
In a topsy-turvy housing market, it's more important than ever to know the facts before buying or selling. From California to the Carolinas, homebuyers are snapping up some of the best home prices in decades. Sellers, on the other hand, grapple to get what they believe is a decent offer. The housing market may be on the mend, but things aren't likely to change overnight. Sellers are not lowing their prices, they are just taking what people will give them for their homes.
Hope for the future?
There are glimmers that the housing market is beginning to lift out of one of the worst slumps since the Great Depression. In 2009 low home prices pushed sales higher in many parts of the country. But the encouraging news should be met with caution. Why?
The boost was fueled primarily by:
• Foreclosure sells.
• A tax credit for first-time home buyers.
• The Federal Reserve's program of buying most new mortgages to keep rates low for mortgage seekers.
Some experts argue the market already hit bottom, but others do not agree. The national median home price is forecast to decline 11.5% by the third quarter of 2010, to $157,707 from $178,200, according to the Fiserv Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Then, it's expected to rise 4.8% by the third quarter of 2011.
A major factor is job losses. Though unemployment seems to be leveling off, many borrowers who have been out of work for some time are likely to fall into foreclosure or short sales. Ultimately, that will dump more houses on the market, dragging down prices. Detroit currently has the lowest housing prices in the country due to the recession in the auto industry. And homw prices in osme of the nation's biggest metro areas – New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago – are expected to slide further. Prices are expected to start up again in 2011 in Los Angeles and Chicago.
But there are locations, such as Charlesston, S.C., and parts of Washington state, where home prices are improving. And in other places the market is still depressed.
Sage Advice for Buyers
• Prepare your finances – In general, your monthly mortgage payment, including principal, interest, real estate taxes, and homeowners insurance, should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. And don't overlook the variable cost of homeowners insurance from state to state.
• Consider your horizon – Prices aren't expected to improve significantly in most areas for several years, so think twice before you buying.
• Be pragmatic – Avoid buying something too unusual, but you don't have to buy a cookie cutter house, either.
• Be hard-nosed, but reasonable – Don't expect a seller to take off $40,000 from the sale price, but do offer around 10% below what comparable houses are selling for in the neighborhood. Offer less, but be willing to pay the selling price if the seller will pay closing costs. And be willing to walk. If there are other homes that fit your criteria, don't get stuck fighting for one.
Sage Advice for Sellers
• Set a fair price – If you're anxious to sell, list your home at 10% below comparable homes in your neighborhood. To get attention, set your selling price at the low end of a price scale.
• Use online help selectively – Check Zillow.com, HomeGain.com, RealEstateABC.com, Trulia.com, and other online sites that offer home value estimates. But be aware that data may be old and spotty on details.
• Be open-minded – Many buyers come in with lowball offers, but don't be fooled. They're probably testing the waters. Keep the dialogue open and hopefully you will be able to strike a deal.
• Give and you will receive – Buyers want to think they got a steal, so make them feel like they did. Pick up the tab for some of the closing costs, dangle a cash bonus of $1,000 to a buyer's agent, toss in new appliances, spring for repairs, or pay for a home warranty.
• Use an agent – It pays to list your property with a knowledgeable agent. Get a market analysis. Make sure the agent is going to market your property properly both online and using traditional marketing.

Full Product Description
The idea of bittersweet is changing the way I live, unraveling and re-weaving the way I understand life. Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a moment of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich even when it contains a splinter of sadness. Its the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet is nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, audacious, earthy. "This is what Ive come to believe about change: its good, in the way that childbirth is good, and heartbreak is good, and failure is good. By that I mean that its incredibly painful, exponentially more so if you fight it, and also that it has the potential to open you up, to open life up, to deliver you right into the palm of Gods hand, which is where you wanted to be all long, except that you were too busy pushing and pulling your life into exactly what you thought it should be. Ive learned the hard way that change is one of Gods greatest gifts, and most useful tools. Change can push us, pull us, rebuke and remake us. It can show us who weve become, in the worst ways, and also in the best ways. Ive learned that its not something to run away from, as though we could, and that in many cases, change is a function of Gods graciousness, not lifes cruelty. Niequist, a keen observer of life with a lyrical voice, writes with the characteristic warmth and honesty of a dear friend: always engaging, sometimes challenging, but always with a kind heart. You will find Bittersweet savory reading, indeed. This is the work Im doing now, and the work I invite you into: when life is sweet, say thank you, and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you, and grow.
Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist was published by Zondervan in February 2013 and is our 28841st best seller. The ISBN for Bittersweet is 9780310335283.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — State lawmakers say they plan to hold hearings to look into Pennsylvania's method of inspecting amusement park, carnival and fair rides — a system that usually relies on inspectors employed by or hired by ride operators.
Sen. Elder Vogel, R-Lawrence County, told The (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat that House and Senate agriculture committees may hold a joint session or may convene separately.
But he said lawmakers in both chambers want answers from the Department of Agriculture, which has just four inspectors to monitor the approximately 9,300 rides in operation in the commonwealth.
Walt Remmert, director of the bureau of ride inspections, acknowledges that inspectors have hundreds of operators to keep track of, but he says they quickly learn which police themselves and which need careful scrutiny.

LAKELAND, Fla. (WTSP) -- Ethan Chapman had two wishes for his eighth birthday: a roller skating party and lots of presents. Both came true.
Ethan's favorite gift was a teddy bear. He wouldn't let go of it, because he likes it so much. That's what made giving it away so difficult.
In fact, Ethan gave away all of his presents. Instead of asking for presents for himself, he decided to collect gifts for the Lakeland Police Department's "Cops for Kids" toy drive.
"Because some kids in Lakeland don't have toys," he said.
8-year-old boy gives away toys
The idea came when Ethan and his mom, Ginnie, were at the local dry cleaner. They saw posters for the toy drive. Before mom knew it, Ethan was asking if he could collect gifts for them, instead of himself.
"My heart melted of course," she explained. "I was very proud of him, and I told him absolutely."
The department has seen lots of acts of kindness during the holidays, but never anything like this.
"It's amazing," Sgt. Gary Gross said. "You just don't see that today."
Ethan's mom said this birthday taught him an important lesson.
"To focus less on himself and more on other people, and I think that's a big thing that a lot of adults and kids need to learn," she said.
Sometimes it just takes a little kid to teach us that lesson.
Ethan really wants you to donate, too. The Lakeland Police Department is collecting toys through Dec. 7.

Clippers' Matt Barnes prefers physical style of play
Updated 10:36 pm, Friday, April 18, 2014
Los Angeles --
A day after watching ESPN's documentary on the especially physical Detroit Pistons teams of the 1980s and '90s, Matt Barnes proposed an idea for the NBA to adopt for the first-round meeting between the Warriors and Clippers.
"After watching the 'Bad Boys' last night, I wish we could go back 20 years and play that way," the Clippers forward said Friday before practice. "The stuff that they did to (Michael) Jordan and (Larry) Bird ... I liked when Isiah (Thomas) came to the hole, and Magic (Johnson) gave him a forearm. It was just physical basketball. They may have been trying to hurt each other back then, and I don't think it's to that extent anymore. You kind of just wish that the game could be more physical.
"If I did some of those fouls that I saw last night, I'd probably have to find a new job, take my kids out of private school and cut my wife's allowance. We'd be in trouble."
The Warriors and Clippers have had two seasons' worth of verbal jarring and physical sparring, setting up a hotly anticipated postseason matchup.
"I have nothing but love for that organization for giving me the opportunity to really get my career back on track, but for the players there now, it's different," said Barnes, who was part of the Warriors' "We Believe" team in 2007. "It's going to be a battle."
'Roaracle' awaits: Clippers power forward Blake Griffin said he's excited for Games 3 and 4, when he'll get a firsthand experience with the frenzied Oracle Arena postseason crowd that Barnes has described.
"He said it's crazy. He said it's unlike anything you've ever seen, which is exciting," Griffin said. "I'm excited to experience that. When an away crowd is good like that, it makes for a much better game. It makes you play better. It makes you stay locked in."
Briefly: The Warriors announced that they recalled rookie center Ognjen Kuzmic from Santa Cruz of the NBA Development League. ... Stephen Curry was named the Western Conference Player of the Month after averaging 26.4 points, 9.9 assists and 2.4 steals in eight games. He had a career-high 16 assists against Utah on April 6 and a triple double April 11 against the Lakers.

I had two encounters with George McGovern when I was young, close enough to get a clear impression of the man. He was one of the reasons that I became a journalist.
It was popular then, in Richard Nixon's years, as now, to paint liberals as soft, wimpy, malleable and muddle-headed. That didn't describe McGovern.
McGovern was liberal, for sure, but he was as tough as tungsten. A B-24 Liberator bomber pilot who flew 35 missions over Europe in World War II, McGovern reminded me of my father's generation of grizzled combat veterans — steely, confident, taking no guff. These were men touched deeply by the war but also made more humane by it. They took joy in life and appreciated humanity's foibles, and they were personally tolerant and kind. George H.W. Bush is in the same mold.
My first encounter with McGovern came in 1971, at a conference that I and my best friend attended as a reward for doing well in our volunteer work. We were in high school in Southern California, co-chairing the local chapter of what was then called the American Freedom From Hunger Foundation.
The foundation — McGovern and Sargent Shriver served on the board — trained and mentored high school and college students in the early 1970s to organize 25-mile "hunger walks" to raise money for, and awareness of, anti-hunger programs at home and abroad.
Our chapter, amazingly, raised about $20,000 over two years — a lot in those days. It split the money between a domestic and a foreign anti-hunger project.
We funded and built a central kitchen for a group of Head Start centers in Compton and Watts, in urban Los Angeles, so they could feed the kids hot meals. Abroad, we funded an innovative family-planning program in Lucknow, India.
We were young activists, although we didn't think of ourselves that way. We saw ourselves as doing charity work. But some of the authority figures we encountered in setting up our hunger walks, whether school principals, local politicians or police, viewed us warily, as somehow a leftist protest group. We had to constantly overcome that as we organized the walks.
We talked about that with McGovern when we met him at the Hunger Foundation conference. He chuckled over this and told us a couple of war and political stories, the moral of which was to have the courage of your convictions, to have a stiff spine and a good argument, to be respectful and to laugh off, later in private, some of the sillier objections we received. He bucked us up with his backbone, warmth and sense of humor.
After our group completed its second hunger walk in as many years, in spring 1972, many of us segued directly into McGovern's primary campaign for the presidency. I wore out a pair of shoes canvassing neighborhoods. We met a lot of voters who were surprisingly receptive to our pitch, given that Southern California was pure Nixon country. We also had a lot of doors slammed in our faces and bore the hectoring of people whom Nixon was then calling the Silent Majority. They didn't seem so silent to us, mainly just rude.
I met McGovern again, just days before the June 6 California primary, after a rally we helped organize in our neck of the San Gabriel Valley. The rally was huge, way bigger than we expected. McGovern was peaking and enthusiasm was running high, but the candidate, as usual, was late, about 21 / 2 hours late. Still, the crowd stayed until he appeared.
After the rally, McGovern met with some of us volunteers. It was after midnight, and he was tired, but he was unchanged from the man I had met a year earlier. Though he was on the brink of winning the California primary, which gave him the nomination, he had a kind and inspiring word for everyone. He primed us for the long, and ultimately losing, fight in the fall.
I turned 18 two weeks after the November election. I never got the chance to vote for him.
It was my experience as a charity and campaign volunteer that ultimately turned me toward journalism. I wanted to tell the stories of those kids in Compton and Watts, and to write about what politics and politicians are like, the good and the bad.
Journalists, like activists and politicians, encounter many great people in our work, but we also meet with a great deal of resistance and opposition. People are always telling you no, you can't have that information. People sometimes lie to your face. And they are only too ready to denounce the media as the cause of all society's ills.
When that happens, I recall the advice and quiet strength of George McGovern. I'll miss him.

Washington The government rated rollover risks for passenger vehicles for the first time Tuesday, giving its worst grade to two General Motors sport utility vehicles. The highest rating went to the Honda Accord.
Auto industry representatives were quick to criticize the new system, describing it as simplistic. And consumer advocates, too, said actual driving tests should be used, not just vehicle measurements.
Harry Pearce, vice chairman of General Motors Corp., called the five-star system "misleading to consumers." He said the ratings fail to account for such factors as a vehicle's suspension and tires and driver behavior.
If consumers check comparative rollover risks, they "will be better able to choose a safe vehicle for themselves and their family," Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater said in releasing the ratings.
The rating system does not predict the likelihood of a crash. Rather, it estimates the risk of rolling over in a single-vehicle crash, usually when the vehicle runs off the road and is tripped by a curb, ditch or soft soil.
The ratings could be especially important to prospective buyers of SUVs. More than 60 percent of SUV occupants killed in 1999 died in rollover crashes, according to the government. Twenty-three percent of car occupants who were killed died in rollovers. Rollover crashes kill an estimated 10,000 people each year.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rated 42 model-year 2001 vehicles: 19 SUVs, 11 light trucks, nine passenger cars and three vans.
The Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy/Envoy four-door 4X2 SUVs drew the lowest score, a one-star rating. Those vehicles' 4x4 versions and the Ford Explorer 4x4, target of dozens of lawsuits as a result of rollover accidents, were among those rated two stars.
Behind the Honda Accord's five stars, several passenger cars, two light trucks the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra ExCab 4x2 models and two vans Honda Odyssey and Chrysler PT Cruiser were given four stars.
The ratings are based on what NHTSA calls "static stability factor" a measure of a vehicle's center of gravity and track width, or distance between rear tires, to determine how top-heavy the vehicle is. The more top-heavy, the more likely a vehicle is to roll over.
Thus, an SUV, being top-heavy, is more likely than a passenger car to get a lower rating. In these first ratings, no SUV rated higher than three stars.
"All they're doing is measuring how wide and how high the center of gravity is using a mathematical formula," said Gloria Bergquist, a spokeswoman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents 13 automakers.
"If you were to carry out the reasoning," she said, "you'd conclude that we should not send students out in school buses, because they're tall and narrow, but send them out in sports cars."
Sally Greenberg, senior product safety counsel for Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, said the ratings show heavy loads reduce stability in a crash but the government should use a more accurate dynamic driving test.
"You can't tell how a food will taste by reading the ingredient list," she said. "Similarly, you can't tell how a vehicle will perform by measuring it."

Napoli are in pole position to sign Andrea Poli after his expected move from Sampdoria to Inter collapsed.
The player spent last term on loan with the Nerazzurri and they were keen to acquire him outright, but they couldn't agree a fee with Doria for the former Under-21 international.
Napoli subsequently stepped in and, according to reports, their €6.5m bid for the player has been accepted.
Boss Walter Mazzarri specifically asked for the central midfielder given their spell together at Doria in the past.
The 23-year-old played in just 18 Serie A games last term as he struggled for fitness.

The Importance of the NFL Quarterback: Overrated and MisunderstoodFebruary 24, 2009
Every single quarterback in the NFL is overrated. From the face of your franchise to the young guy who backs up your aging veteran — not a single one of them is worth the mountains of attention they receive.
Don't get it confused — this isn't a shallow attempt from a no-name writer to discredit the quality professional athletes. This isn't an indictment of the records Peyton Manning holds, the rings Tom Brady wears, the interceptions Brett Favre throws, or the clipboard your newest rookie clutches on the sideline.
It's a dose of reality. Consider the former a disclaimer.
Your favorite primary signal-caller is nothing but an incredible athlete who found himself in an ideal professional situation. He's a talented player with physical abilities the average man can only dream of, and he's in an offensive system that complements his skills.
Some are clearly more talented than others.
There's a reason why few become long-time starters, why some go to the Pro Bowl, why less ever smell the Hall of Fame, and why so many wash out before you ever remember the number they wore.
It's important for you to understand that the NFL does not belong to them alone.
But It's About Leadership!
They are leaders because their contracts made them so. They are leaders because when the ball is snapped, their actions are the focal point for three-to-seven seconds.
Unfortunately, fans have misinterpreted that observation as a symbol of leadership, and the concept spiralled out of control.
The attention focused on one man is an insult to the 10 others starting on offense.
It's an insult to the receivers who catch the passes and the backs who move the chains — to the men who block would-be tacklers and allow the quarterback to be that leader.
It's an insult to men like Ray Lewis and Barry Sanders whose careers have been and were defined by being successful despite the absence of a legitimate quarterback.
To assume that no other man is capable of leading his team to victory simply because he doesn't receive the snap directly is absolutely asinine.
The Pointless Measure of Statistics
"He has a 90.2 QB rating, and is 9-for-11 on third-down conversions with less than two minutes to go in away games played in bad weather."
And then someone counters the point with, "Yeah, but how many rings does he have?"
Right back to square one.
Yet, the one constant that's consistently ignored is the quality of their teammates. And whenever it is considered, we're all entrenched in a chicken-egg debate.
Would Joe Montana have been as great without Jerry Rice? Or was Jerry Rice made better by Joe Montana's play?
In 1988 — a Super Bowl winning season for the 49ers — Montana threw for 2,981 yards. Jerry Rice is responsible for 1,306 of those. The rest were divided up between Roger Craig, Mike Wilson, Tom Rathman, John Taylor, and more.
What should this tell you?
Neither one of them did it alone. It should tell you the absolute truth: Both players were immensely talented athletes who were placed in ideal situations for their skills. Yes, Montana flourished without Rice, and Rice without Montana, but history remembers them most for the time they spent together.
Through victories and statistical successes, the unsung heroes are the team's scouting department and coaching staff — not the chess pieces they maneuver on the gridiron.
Montana to Rice and Steve Young to Rice were dazzling combinations. But who's the person who identified how strong those combinations could be?
What happens to the quarterback who isn't graced with similar opportunities? Who's scouted by a team that can't match his talents? Does he become Ryan Leaf?
System vs. Skill
Would Dan Marino have thrown for 5,084 yards in a season if the New York Jets plugged him into their system? Could Mickey Shuler supplement Mark Clayton?
Better yet, would Ken O'Brien have thrown for as many yards if he was with the Miami Dolphins?
Better (or worse) yet, how many quarterbacks have been victims of being drafted by the wrong team, and at the wrong time?
The questions are clearly hypothetical, but they're all valid. Certain offensive systems are certified as winners. They're crafted in such a way that someone with the appropriate tools can succeed.
It's why Matt Cassel proved to be worthy of the franchise tag despite where he was drafted. It's why the sixth-round draft pick he supplemented was able to accomplish what the first-overall draft pick — Drew Bledsoe — who preceded him never could.
Chad Pennington was converted from weak-armed QB of the Jets to savior of the Dolphins in four short months because the offensive system supported his strengths.
How many quarterbacks with adequate skills find themselves in the wrong system? Relegated to back-up roles because offensive coordinators can't identify the proper ways to utilize their players?
Clearly, a quarterback must possess a unique set of skills to flourish in specific systems. But his skills can't work anywhere.
It's why Mike Martz' offense hasn't found the same thrill since the Greatest Show on Turf, and why Kurt Warner is at his absolute best when he's teamed with exceptional wide receivers.
And if recent history is satisfactory as evidence, then it's proof-positive that quarterbacks don't win big games on their own, either.

Hello flawless ladies! We've just said goodbye to winters now and prepping up for Spring because it means flirty lip shades, bright eyeshadows and vibrant blushes. For me it's all about lipsticks and I'm going to review one today. I've been wearing this lipstick since the onset of spring. It's Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick in shade Coral Rose 616. It's a beautiful shade and I'll tell you why…
Price: Rs. 245/- for 4.2 g
What does it claim? Pure Colors Is A 100% Vegetarian Range Of Moisturizing Lip Colors Available In 40 Rich, Sophisticated Shades Including A Wide Choice In Peaches, Pinks And Nutty Browns.
Shelf Life: 3 years
Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick comes in a golden case. It shuts with a click. I like its packaging.
My Experience: Lotus Herbals products have always fared good on me. I've used their sunscreen and body lotion which I've reviewed Here and Here. Now comes the lipstick. It's very moisturizing and glides on lips like butter. Lip balm isn't needed at all but extremely dry lips should moisturize first. It has a glossy finish which later settles into semi matte finish. It transfers a lot even with a slight rubbing.
Coral Rose is a deep rosy pink shade. It has a hint of coral in it. It gives a medium coverage and is totally buildable. Pigmented lips will need more swipes. Mind that it's a gorgeous shade. It will suit fair to medium to dusky skin tones. It comes out light on fair tones and slight deep on deeper tones.
It stays for 3-4 hours easily without eating. Snacking and eating fades its intensity so re-application is needed. At the end of the day my lips are left with a pinkish tint.
|Looks bright when applied multiple swipes!
• It has a moisturizing formula with a creamy texture.
• Shade that will suit everyone
• Affordable as well
• Sturdy packaging
• Transfers easily on cups and gets rubbed off easily.
• Staying power could've been longer.
Final Word: It's moisturizing and creamy, a perfect shade for spring and summer. It's also apt for college and office wear when worn lightly. If you love rosy shades then give this a try.
Rating: 4/5
Have you tried any lipstick from Pure Colors range? Do share with us!

At first glance Sabrina (Melissa Joan Hart) is your typical 16-year-old girl with all the usual teenage hang-ups. Whats not so obvious however is the fact that she is half-witch half-mortal... and not half good at magic With the loving guidance of her supernaturally-inclined aunts Hilda and Zelda (Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick) Sabrina not only learns how to use her powers for good but how to deal with her mortal problems in an equally responsible manner. Much of the shows humour comes from Salem a talkative black cat who coughs up one-liners as if they were hair balls. This release contains the entire second series of the popular teen comedy.

Location & Directions
Sawai Madhopur nr Ranthambore National Park, India
The Oberoi Vanyavilas is located in Ranthambhore - Sawai Madhopur, in Rajasthan province in northwest India. The resort is 180km from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan and is situated adjacent to the famous Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve.
When to go
Rajasthan is known as the desert state. It is largely hot and dry throughout the year, making it a great destination to get away from European winters.
Summer in Rajasthan extends from April to June. It is s the hottest season, with temperatures ranging from 32 degree C to 45 degree C, so not ideal for travel, although early April is a good time to get cheaper rates if you dont mind the temperature in the high 30s. In western Rajasthan the temperature may reach at high as 45 degree C, particularly in May and June so we'd suggest avoiding Jaisalmer and the Thar Desert at this time.
The second season - technically the "Monsoon" (although in reality Rajasthan never receives much rainfall) extends from July to September. The temperature drops slightly, and humidity increases. 90% of the rain Rajasthan can expect occurs during this period. Lakes and rivers will be higher from mountain run-off and flowers and grasses come to life, bringing added color to the landscape.
The Post-monsoon period is from October to November. The average maximum temperature is 33 degree C to 38 degree C, and the minimum is between 18 degree C and 20 degree C. The official "season" for hotels in Rajasthan starts in October. It's a great time to travel - warm and sunny during and perfect for exploring and relaxing.
The fourth season is "winter", and runs from December to March. With day time temperatures still in the high 20's during the day this a very popular time to travel. Hotels are at the their busiest over the Christmas and new year period. Be aware though that December and January can have very cool mornings and evening and we suggest taking some warm clothing. Whilst temperatures in the desert areas are always hot in the daytime, they become some of the coolest areas of the state once the sun goes down. It's also fairly standard to expect some fog in the major cities of Northern Rajstasthan and Delhi in December and January.

UK Auto Repair Questions?
Hopefully i can help..
What sort of code reader are you using?
Are there any sort of noticable issues with the cars performance engine wise since the fault ocurred?
Hi..there thanks for getting back..
Ok so its just a general reader..I can honestly say looking at the fault codes for these cars 01 on its own isnt listed bar "failure type 01 which is just general electrical failure" and that could cover anything.. All common retrived fault codes should really start of with P0 / P1 / P2 etc then end with 3 characters/digits - and this tells us where the fault currently is or picked up by the ecu.so should be something like P0123 as an example - 01 on its own could be any number of fault codes to be honest so cant really say for definate where you need to go from here or check on - ive got roughly 11 possibles here of fault codes that end in 01 for the vectra c but all relate to differant areas or faults..Id double check to be sure the reader can actually work on these cars or the the make even..i know from experiance with customers i been too before who have used similar readers, especially of the likes of ebay anyway - alot of these may not actually be suitable for "some" vehicles systems or vans at all even for that matter..So you would certainly need to bear that in mind..the reader is most likely ok but maybe doesn't do "all" as you would like especially on vauxhalls anyway...I know that can be quite frustrating especially with some of these readers that claim to cover every vehicle -sometimes that inst the case im afraid - but without actually knowing the full code the best thing you can do from here on a confirmation bases anyway on that code - is to find a good local garage or mobile tech even who will have better equipment to track or retrive the fault code from the cars ECU and see what code they get - then once you know what it is - then you can back here - or take it from there based on the result of the test or what fault code you get..I do hope this helps
the codes says it is the full volume regulator control circuit openis this a sensor and if so what do i ask for parts wise
Yes thats one of the codes i have but again p0001 is generic code - Could a bad fuel pressure regulator "if i recall will be in the fuel tank with the pump" / bad fuel pump "low pressure" / low fuel / blocked fuel filter / maybe also inspect the fuel relay on load/boot area relay plate number 11 relay..maybe aces the top if the tank under the rear seats and double check the plugs for any corrosion etc..

• Robovie R3
ATR and VStone have teamed up once again to create the Robovie R3, a life-sized humanoid robot platform used to research services for the elderly and disabled. Previously ATR has done experiments with robots in shopping malls, and with the robot's 2.5 kmph speed and ability to overcome small changes in floor height, the Robovie R3 should be able to perform in a variety of settings.
Besides featuring a completely redesigned and friendly appearance, it is also equipped with the usual extras including 11 touch sensors throughout its body; 2 USB cameras for eyes; 2 mono microphones for ears; a speaker for its mouth; and an optional laser range finder. Furthermore the robot is able to move omnidirectionally and has gripper hands. A press conference is going to be held on April 20th, but they have revealed that the robot will be available to research institutions for 3,800,000 JPY ($41,000 USD). The two companies have also teamed up to developed the M3-neony, M3-synchy, and robovie-mR2, all of which provide low cost solutions for robotics research.

I don't think > it is acceptable without it. Debian already favours Main packages by default and the sysadmin/user must explicitly choose to add Contrib and Non-free to the sources.list if they want packages from those archives--why isn't that a good enough flag of the sysadmin/user's dependency solving preferences? AFAICT: A "system-wide dependency solving preference" is the same as asking once and is logically no different from having contrib and/or non-free lines in sources.list, or not. i.e, If the sysadmin wants to consider non-Main packages as solutions then contrib/non-free must be in the sources.list, and if they don't there is no point having them there. So, its not an additional/redundant preference that needs to be set, it is the tools which need to favour Main packages as solutions to dependency problems regardless of whether they are A, B, or C, in an A|B|C statement... I'm assuming the objective is to stack the deck to favour DFSG-free software. Personally: I'd like to see any philosophical overloading of dependency statements disappear. The statement "A|B|C" should mean that A is the best choice from a technical perspective (stability, functionality, etc.) Those of you who don't want to pollute you system with non-DFSG-free packages can simply avoid putting contrib and/or non-free in your sources.list. Anyone who wants a finer grained mix than what including Contrib and Non-free, or not, gets you will need to play with pinning. - Bruce

First Review by Imriela
Good selection - Edit
It's by no means the selection of a larger Whole Foods, but it's a great local place that can keep up. They also carry plenty of things you won't find at Whole Foods, so if you're looking for something new to try, check this place out, they'll probably have something for you. The prices are a bit more than the larger chains, but not by so much that you'd look here and buy elsewhere; it's usually only a small markup.

One of the Best Natural Stores in the Orlando Area - Edit
The store is well laid out, easy to navigate, clean, and has a lot of products to choose from in each area of the store. The supplements area is well stocked. The staff have always been very friendly.

Kanpur: BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally here has been preponed to October 19 due to his busy schedule, Kanpur unit of the party said today.
The rally was earlier shifted to October 20 from October 15, as the date was clashing with two religious festivals.
The party has still not been able to arrange a venue for the rally, in which three lakh people are expected to participate, with Railways denying permission to use a field in Nirala Nagar, BJP Kanpur President Surendra Maithani said.
Railway authorities have denied permission saying the railway ground cannot be used for any political rally, Maithani said.

I know I'm dating myself but I remember when people used to pay for purchases in cash and occasionally, with checks.
Not so much anymore.
Now, debit cards are all the rage. You know the ones (of course, since you likely have one). They look and function much like credit cards - only except instead of extending credit via the card, banks allow purchases up to the amount of money in your checking account. It's a plastic check if you will. And awfully darn convenient. It's also about to become expensive.
Last week, Bank of America shocked customers when it announced that it would begin charging $5 per month for using their (well, your) debit cards. The fee kicks in beginning 2012 and would apply to debit cards to make purchases but would not apply to ATM withdrawals (those are subject to other fees), online bill payments (also subject to other fees) or mobile phone transfers (may be subject to other fees).
Bank of America isn't alone. Wells Fargo has made noise about a new $3 per month fee for debit card usage and J.P. Morgan Chase has signaled that they would impose a similar fee.
It's just another way that big banks stink, right? Or is it? Is there something else going on here?
It turns out that there may be a method to Bank of America's madness. The bank claims that the move is in response to a pretty big anticipated loss in profit as a result of the so-called "Durbin Amendment." The Durbin Amendment is an add-on to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Public Law No. 111-203), signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010. The Act was meant to protect us from all of those banks that were too big to fail - you know, the whole banking/financial sector meltdown that we just lived through.
The Durbin Amendment, named after Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), was added to the bill after flopping around for the better part of a year. The law applies to those big banks - the ones over $10 billion in assets - and was ostensibly passed as an effort to increase competition. It was supposed to be pro-consumer.
But here's the kicker: the Amendment gave the Federal Reserve the power to regulate debit card interchange fees and other bits of banking admin, which they've done. Over the summer, the Fed released the final rule on the matter. The combination of fees, restrictions and caps is thought to cost banks subject to the amendment nearly $14 billion annually.
