I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens
Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year – and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~W.J. Cameron

There has been only one Christmas – the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron

like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"
This December,
That love weighs more than gold!
~Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays – let them overtake me unexpectedly – waking up some find morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!" ~David Grayson
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.

At Christmas
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime…
~Edgar Guest
Christmas is the season when you buy this year's gifts with next year's money. ~Author Unknown
The Church does not superstitiously observe days, merely as days, but as memorials of important facts. Christmas might be kept as well upon one day of the year as another; but there should be a stated day for commemorating the birth of our Saviour, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected. ~Samuel Johnson
As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is. ~Eric Sevareid
When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things – not the great occasions – give off the greatest glow of happiness. ~Bob Hope
[I]t is the one season of the year when we can lay aside all gnawing worry, indulge in sentiment without censure, assume the carefree faith of childhood, and just plain "have fun."

Roses are reddish
Violets are bluish
If it weren't for Christmas
We'd all be Jewish.

And keep the ones we give away,
How happy were our Christmas day!

Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. ~Calvin Coolidge, 1927
No matter how carefully you stored the lights last year, they will be snarled again this Christmas. ~Robert Kirby
Except the Christ be born again tonight
In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,
The world will never see his kingdom bright.

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that – as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time. ~Charles Dickens
At Christmas-tide the open hand
Scatters its bounty o'er sea and land,
And none are left to grieve alone,
For Love is heaven and claims its own.

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. ~Jay Leno
I hear that in many places something has happened to Christmas; that it is changing from a time of merriment and carefree gaiety to a holiday which is filled with tedium; that many people dread the day and the obligation to give Christmas presents is a nightmare to weary, bored souls; that the children of enlightened parents no longer believe in Santa Claus; that all in all, the effort to be happy and have pleasure makes many honest hearts grow dark with despair instead of beaming with good will and cheerfulness. ~Julia Peterkin, A Plantation Christmas, 1934
The earth has grown old with its burden of care,
But at Christmas it always is young….

Nothing's as mean as giving a little child something useful for Christmas. ~Kin Hubbard
The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other. ~Johnny Carson
Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant's trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer's martyrdom.
~Madeline Morse
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Yuletide gay. ~Ralph Blane
It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when its mighty Founder was a child Himself. ~Charles Dickens

Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit. ~Kin Hubbard
Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. ~Dave Barry
Keep your Christmas-heart open all the year round. ~Jessica Archmint
Wouldn't life be worth the living
Wouldn't dreams be coming true
If we kept the Christmas spirit
All the whole year through?
~Author Unknown
The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful. We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days, their carnivals and festivals, but once in the year and only once, the whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. ~Author Unknown
We ring the bells and we raise the strain
We hang up garlands everywhere
And bid the tapers twinkle fair,
And feast and frolic – and then we go
Back to the same old lives again.
~Susan Coolidge
I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark. ~Dick Gregory
Christmas is a time to open our hearts to God and his gifts. Just like the rest of the year. ~Author Unknown
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow…

Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart… filled it, too, with melody that would last forever. ~Bess Streeter Aldrich
Mail your packages early so the post office can lose them in time for Christmas. ~Johnny Carson
Whatever else be lost among the years,
Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing;
Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,
Let us hold close one day, remembering
Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.~Grace Noll Crowell
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~Dr Seuss
O Christmas Sun! What holy task is thine!
To fold a world in the embrace of God!
~Guy Wetmore Carryl
Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends. ~Margaret Thatcher
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
~Christina Rossetti
Christmas – that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance – a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. ~Augusta E. Rundel
Santa is very jolly because he knows where all the bad girls live. ~Dennis Miller
It is the most human and kindly of seasons, as fully penetrated and irradiated with the feeling of human brotherhood, which is the essential spirit of Christianity, as the month of June with sunshine and the balmy breath of roses. ~George William Curtis
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, – not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there….
~Clement Clarke Moore
People can't concentrate properly on blowing other people to pieces if their minds are poisoned by thoughts suitable to the twenty-fifth of December. ~Ogden Nash
Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. ~Oren Arnold
Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love. ~Lucinda Franks
Oh! lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Saviour's birth,
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "Peace on earth"?
~Felicia Hemans
We hear the beating of wings over Bethlehem and a light that is not of the sun or of the stars shines in the midnight sky. Let the beauty of the story take away all narrowness, all thought of formal creeds. Let it be remembered as a story that has happened again and again, to men of many different races, that has been expressed through many religions, that has been called by many different names. Time and space and language lay no limitations upon human brotherhood. ~New York Times, 25 December 1937, quoted in Quotations for Special Occasions by Maud van Buren, 1938, published by The H.W. Wilson Company, New York
Which Christmas is the most vivid to me? It's always the next Christmas. ~Joanne Woodward

The dean of Southeastern Conferences quarterbacks and the league's leading returner in total offense, passing yards and passing touchdowns, senior Bo Wallace is as healthy and confident as ever, and he's also assumed a more vocal leadership role on the team.
"I feel like it's my team," Wallace said. "It's my offense. I have said in years past that I have to be more vocal. This year, I have done a lot better job of letting those guys know that I care about them and I want to be around them and I want those guys playing hard."
After playing through shoulder pain and fatigue for much of his first two years as the Rebels' quarterback, he has not noticed any flare-ups with his shoulder through fall camp.
"I have no pain at all," Wallace said. "Last year, I wouldn't really have pain, but I had days when I didn't feel great, but I feel really good now."
In front of Wallace, junior Fahn Cooper has earned the starting job at right tackle, while the battle for the starting job at center continues between junior Ben Still and sophomore Robert Conyers, with both players getting first-team reps in Monday's practice.
"Conyers and Still are still right there battling for the center job and I feel good with either of them about snaps and protections, so I feel like we have some guys who can play and be alright there," Wallace said.
"They are about tit-for-tat," Freeze said. "I'll let Matt (Luke) meet with those kids. They're both going to play. Both Ben and Robert have earned the right to play. Who gets the majority of the snaps will probably be sorted out after the first few games."
Do-It-All Hilton Adds Flexibility to Defense
When sophomore Tee Shepard and junior Carlos Davis went down with season-ending knee injuries, it meant a larger and perhaps less defined role for junior Mike Hilton.
The one-time high school running back standout has started 16 games in his career, with 10 at cornerback, five at Huskie and one at free safety, including nine at cornerback this past season.
He has bounced between cornerback and Huskie during fall camp but has now turned most of his attention to cornerback with the injuries to Shepard and Davis.
"I had a full summer to really get my technique down and work with Coach (Jason) Jones on small things and get a better feel because I switched in the middle of the season," Hilton said. "Having this full summer has really helped me."
In Monday's practice he ran with the first-team defense at cornerback, opposite senior Senquez Golson, and second-team defense at Huskie, behind sophomore Tony Conner.
"(The coaches) make sure I'm on top of everything," Hilton said. "I watch film with the corners one day and go watch it with the Huskies to make sure I'm not making too many mistakes and make sure I can handle it."
Despite the injuries, it's one of the deepest and most experienced secondaries that defensive coordinator Dave Wommack has had in his three years at Ole Miss. With that experience, Hilton said he expects a more aggressive defense and more blitzes.
"Having C.J. (Johnson) back takes our pass rush to a whole new level," Hilton said. "We know if we can hold up on the back end and make the quarterback hold it the pass rush from the front four can be something special."
Rebels Begin Boise Prep
White jerseys with numbers representing Boise State players dotted the scout-team offense and defense, as Ole Miss has turned the page in advance of the season opener against the Broncos.
One challenge of preparation is the unknown with a first-year head coach in Bryan Harsin and two-first year coordinators in Mike Sanford on the offensive side and Marcel Yates on the defensive side. Some of the preparation is based on Boise State film, while other preparation is based on film from the coaches' other previous experiences.
"It's definitely difficult on the offensive side because the (defensive) coordinator that has been hired has not been a coordinator before, so you're not sure," Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. "I'm sure he will take something from everywhere he has been, like all of us have done. We're not quite sure what his flavor is, so that's a bit difficult.
"Offensively, with their head coach being an offensive guy, even though I know he's not going to coordinate it, you have an idea of what they will be like. We're going to study the places that the offensive coordinator came from also. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it happens."
Harsin was a graduate assistant (2001) and tight ends coach (2002-05) under Dan Hawkins before assuming the role of offensive coordinator and quarterback coach (2006-10) under Chris Peterson. He was most recently the co-offensive coordinator at Texas (2011-12) and head coach at Arkansas State (2013). Sanford most recently spent three seasons as a running backs coach at Stanford (2011-13).
"You don't know what to expect," Hilton of preparation for Boise State. "We can watch film on Arkansas State, which is where he came from, but he can still throw something new in there. We watch Boise to see how their players are and see how physical receivers and running backs are. It's a challenge, but I feel like we can handle it."
On the defensive side, Yates was a cornerbacks coach (2003-05) under Hawkins before taking over the entire secondary (2006-11) under Peterson, and then serving as a co-defensive coordinator at Texas A&M (2012-2013).
"We have an idea of what we think they're going to do," said senior quarterback Bo Wallace of preparation for Boise State. "Study some years past and a little bit of A&M stuff and try to play fast. What we don't know, hopefully our tempo can help us in that area."
Steele Picks Ole Miss to Finish 9-3, Tied for Third in SEC West
ESPN Insider Phil Steele projects Ole Miss to finish 9-3 overall and tied for third in the SEC standings with LSU (9-3) and behind first-place Alabama (12-0) and second-place Auburn (10-2). He projects Georgia (11-1) to win the SEC East and meet Alabama in the SEC title game. Here's more from Steele on Ole Miss:
The Rebels welcome back QB Bo Wallace (3,346 passing yards in 2013) and their top two rushers, I'Tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton (1,086 yards combined). I rank Wallace and backup Ryan Buchanan is the 11th-best QB unit in the country. Even better? What they don't have: South Carolina, Georgia or Florida on the docket. Since they avoid the East's big three, I have the Rebels as clear underdogs against only the West's big two, LSU and Bama (the A&M and Auburn games rate as toss-ups in my book). Ole Miss, talent-wise, is not far behind the Tigers or the Tide and could make a run to the SEC title game. In fact, I have the Rebels as my No. 6-rated surprise team in the country.
For ESPN Insider subscribers, here's the link to the full article, "Projecting the final SEC standings"
More from ESPN: The SEC has plenty of playoff possibilities, and Ole Miss is one of four teams that could make a magical run from outside the top 10, writes Edward Aschoff
Sophomore Laquon Treadwell and senior Vince Sanders got first-team reps at outside receiver, with junior Cody Core, redshirt freshman Trey Bledsoe and freshman Dayall Harris also in the rotation.
Core also got first-team reps at slot receiver, with sophomore Quincy Adeboyejo, junior Quintavius Burdette, freshmen Markell Pack and Sammie Epps also in the rotation.
Sophomore Evan Engram got a majority of first-team reps at tight end, with senior Nick Parker, and sophomores Jeremy Liggins and Matt Brown also in the rotation.
Junior C.J. Johnson, sophomore Fadol Brown, and freshman Marquis Haynes all got first-team reps at defensive end, with sophomore Robert Nkemdiche and junior Woodrow Hamilton at defensive tackle.
Sophomore John Youngblood and junior Channing Ward were second-team defensive ends, with seniors Bryon Bennett and Lavon Hooks at defensive tackle.
The five players who ran with the first-team defense in the secondary have combined to start 96 games in their career: Senior safety Cody Prewitt (28), junior safety Trae Elston (20), senior cornerback Senquez Golson (20), junior cornerback Mike Hilton (16) and sophomore Huskie Tony Conner (12).
Hilton also ran with second team at Huskie, where he was joined by sophomore Derrick Jones and freshman Kendarius Webster at cornerback and sophomore Anthony Alford and freshman C.J. Hampton at safety.
In special teams work, the first-team kickoff returners were junior running back Jaylen Walton and sophomore running back Mark Dodson. The second-team kickoff returners were sophomore cornerback Kailo Moore and junior safety Trae Elston.
The kickoff return units also included freshman defensive back C.J. Moore on the first team and freshman linebacker DeMarquis Gates on the second team.
Hugh Freeze on field goal kicker: "We feel like we know who's ahead at this point, but it's a bit too early to tell who's going to be the guy. Right now, I would say (Andrew) Fletcher is the guy. Fletcher would kick short-to-medium field goals. All of them, on a given day, have done their share. He's probably been the more consistent on those. If it was a longer (field goal), it would be one of the other two (Gary Wunderlich or Andy Pappanastos)."
Freeze on rotating players on defense: "Any time you can rotate two-deep, you're better off. I'm all for rotating and keeping players fresh so they can play at a high level."
Freeze on Cody Core and Quincy Adeboyejo at slot receiver: "As soon as one runs a route, the other one is coming in. Cody has probably had a little more consistent camp with everything that is asked of him there, but we're excited about the year Quincy could have also."
Bo Wallace on Fahn Cooper: "He's good. He's physical. He plays hard and he's one of those kids, when you get into them, he will do anything in the world for you. The big thing for me has been to get into Fahn and let him know that I can care about so he wants to protect and wants to lay it on the line."
Wallace on Cody Core: "He has that confidence. This is his third year. He knows the speed of the game. He's confident. We have him learning both inside and outside. He knows he's going to play so he has to perform every single day."
Wallace on backup quarterbacks: "They're good. DeVante (Kincade) has to stay out of negative plays, but his physical abilities are crazy. Ryan (Buchanan) is really starting to learn the offense and know where to go with the football. You can tell in practice that Ryan has done really well."
Wallace on the defensive line: "They're phenomenal. It's unlike anything I have ever seen. Robert (Nkemdiche) draws so much attention that it frees up C.J. (Johnson), Fadol (Brown) and Marquis Haynes coming off the edge. They're going to be one of the best in the SEC, no doubt."
Mike Hilton on working on his press coverage: "I think I'm able to run with everybody. I can get underneath their pads and get my hands on them because I'm short and most receivers are tall."
Hilton on Kendarius Webster: "I'm really impressed. I played him in high school, so I knew how he would play. He's really going to help us in the long run. He's still young. He's going to be a really good one for us."
Hilton on Kailo Moore: "He's who has really impressed me the most. Coming from running back, you're not used to opening up your hips and stuff like that. The thing that helps him the most is his speed. Not too many people are going to beat him deep. He will help."

There's a perfectly logical explanation to both sets of questions, I swear. 1- Just because it was supposed to be a mirror cake, doesn't mean that's what I ended up with. 2- If it were a mirror cake, you're right, it would be upside down. 3- It is most certainly frozen.
I tried to follow the rules, I really did, but I was experiencing some seriously negative kitchen karma that day because somehow, everything I did was wrong. Let's rewind a little bit, shall we? I was trying to make a Strawberry Mirror Cake because that was the recipe that
I didn't immediately jump to making ice cream, it began innocently enough with me assembling all of the ingredients and making only one substitution; I set to making the cake as directed. The agar-agar was my one substitution and it was in place of gelatin. It came from a random
After making the cake and the Bavarian cream and putting the two together, I left the cake in the fridge, (sans mirror) for a while, hoping it would do as it was supposed to and firm up. After hours of fridge time and no sign of solidification I decided I would just pour the mirror on top of my floating cake island and hope for the best. At first, I was pleasantly surprised. Oooh look at the pretty mirror! It's all nice and glossy and red. Maybe my cake can be saved after all. Wait, what's happening? What's that hole? Where is the mirror going? Noooooooooooo! A sink hole had opened up and I watched as the mirror portion drained down to the bottom of the cake pan, never to be seen again. It was actually pretty cool to watch, I just wish I hadn't been the only to witness it.
After watching the last few drops of mirror disappear underneath my floating cake island I accepted the fact that my cake was going to be 'different' and I got out the ice cream machine. Part way through the churning process Dad walked into the kitchen, looked from the empty cake pan to the ice cream machine and back to the empty cake pan before saying "Uh, were you supposed to do that?" No, no I wasn't, but after 4 hours in the fridge and not even a hint of becoming firm, short of starting over again, this was all I could do. That's when Dad's kitchen smarts kicked in and he suggested that when the ice cream machine was done doing its job, that I pour the frozen cake ice cream into my new silicone bundt pan before putting it in the freezer so that it would still look like a cake, even if it was a frozen one. Genius! This got the wheels in my head turning a little and I decided to also create a mini version in a ramekin which I topped with leftover strawberry juice to create the illusion of a mirror. For a while I debated whether or not my faux strawberry mirror cake could pass as the real thing, but then I wouldn't have a story to tell you. It's more fun to read a post about my disasters than if everything had been smooth sailing. Plus, this will make you more impressed with me when I do something and it turns out right.

Kyoho Grape Recipes
View All | View Summaries
Fruit and Yogurt Parfait Recipe (Grapes and Granola Parfait)
10.08.10 by Jackie
Fruit and yogurt parfaits are a great breakfast food or late-night snack. They're very filling and are easy to make. You can use pretty much any fruit you have on hand. For this particular parfait, I used Kyoho grapes. The sweetness, meaty flesh and softness of the fruit contrast well with the crunchy granola. I added Concord grape jelly to repeat the same flavor and condensed milk to give the yogurt a velvety texture.
The result is a tasty, yet still healthy treat. I can't get enough of it. We're stilling make our own yogurt weekly, and the girls just helped me make granola last weekend, but we're already running our of both. Our family is addicted!

Fresh Kyoho Grapes
10.03.10 by Jackie
Kyoho grapes [pronounced kee-oh-ho] are large, seeded, extremely sweet and juicy with meaty flesh. Like the Concord variety, this specialty grape is powdery and thick-skinned with a blackish purple color. I absolutely love Kyohos. There are several ways to eat them. You could peel them with a small paring knife because they are large enough but I think this method waste a lot of the precious juice inside. In my opinion, the best way to enjoy the fruit is to simply place a grape between your index finger and thumb, lean your head a little backward, gently squeeze the fruit until the flesh pushes through the skin, along with a generous amount of fragrant, sweet juice. Remove and discard the few seeds embedded in its flesh, and repeat.

A near must-win situation the first week of the season?
For high school football teams with sky high expectations such as Greenwich and Ridgefield, that's the scenario when they square off in Friday's 7 p.m. season-opener at Tiger Hollow Stadium.
"I love the idea that we are lining up against Greenwich again the first game of the season," Ridgefield coach Kevin Callahan said. "It's an opportunity to open up against a great team and show what we are made of. I think this is the premier game in the state this week."
A victory is critical for both team's chances of appearing in the postseason. Greenwich, ranked sixth in the state, began its season last fall with a 16-3 home win over Ridgefield and finished its 2011 campaign at 8-2. Yet the Cardinals, who appeared in the FCIAC final, didn't qualify for the Class LL playoffs due to a lack of CIAC power points. The Tigers, 8-3 a year ago, qualified for the LL playoffs, falling to Staples in the quarterfinals, 48-21.
"We are really focused for this game," said Greenwich senior DB/WR Taylor Olmstead, one of the squad's five captains. "Not only is it a huge game because it's important, it's a huge game because Ridgefield is really good this year.
"We have been working hard in practice and we have a great group of guys who are getting better and focused on what they are doing for the game, so we are ready."
Sports Videos
Last season's matchup was a defensive struggle, but the Cardinals made key plays on defense and special teams en route registering the season-opening win. Down 3-2 at halftime, Greenwich received a 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Joel Arroyo and an 82-yard score off an interception by Mike Daly, both of whom graduated. Meanwhile, Greenwich's defense forced five turnovers while holding the Tigers out of the end zone.
"Against Ridgefield, our defense played probably their best game of the year," said GHS coach Rich Albonizio, whose squad was edged by Staples, 31-27, in last season's FCIAC finals. "We tend to get better and better as the season goes on, but this year we did scrimmage some excellent teams and I think the scrimmages have moved us along very nicely going into this game."
Ridgefield runs a spread offense behind talented quarterback Connor Rowe, who threw for 18 touchdowns a year ago. The senior was solid in the Tigers' loss to the Cards last season, completing 20-of-34 passes for 235 yards. He finished the 2011 season with a team-record 1,974 yards passing.
"I have had three genuine quarterbacks since I've been here and Connor is certainly the best," Callahan said. "His leadership on the field is outstanding. We changed our offense, going with a spread offense, specifically because he is out there."
More InformationGreenwich at Ridgefield When: Friday, 7 p.m. Where: Tiger Hollow Stadium, Ridgefield Storyline: A win could go a long way for both teams in their quest to reach the postseason. Greenwich beat Ridgefield 16-3 a year ago at Cardinal Stadium.
Containing the Tigers' aerial attack is no doubt a point of emphasis for Cardinals.
"We know that we are going to have to get pressure on their quarterback, especially our defensive line," said Greenwich senior DE/TE Joe Kelly, a team captain. "Our defensive line has a lot of work to do on Friday, as well as our corners and safeties. They have to do a great job of covering their receivers and make sure no one gets open."
With the return of junior running back Will Bonaparte and senior back Sam Gravitte (856 yards last year), Ridgefield can also move the ball on the ground.
"We are definitely strong at the skill positions," said Callahan, whose Tigers averaged 31.6 points per game in 2011. "Just the way our team is built, we have to put points on the board."
Since senior quarterback Liam O'Neil is sidelined for five to six weeks with a broken right index finger -- an injury he sustained during last Saturday's practice -- the Cardinals will turn to either senior Alex McMurray or junior Jose Melo to run the offense. Melo started three games in O'Neil's absence last year, including the season-opener against Ridgefield.
"Their quarterback being injured creates even more anxiety for us," Callahan said. "We know McMurray runs a strong, Wildcat running offense and their backup (Melo) is capable of throwing the ball, so we're trying to figure out what direction to go in. It has created some indecision for us as far as preparation goes and it does create an issue for us."
McMurray expects another physical Greenwich/Ridgefield matchup no matter where he plays.
"These physical games are the most fun to play in," McMurray said. "I love to run into people and hit people, so I hope they are as physical as they were last year."
Seniors Mark Bernstein and Dan Claroni and sophomore Austin Longi lead Greenwich's running game.
"I also think Greenwich could be a very good run-oriented team because they have several kids that run extremely hard," said Callahan, whose team is led up front by senior Andrew Barton on both sides of the ball. "Whoever wins Friday is in a good position and whoever doesn't has to get their team refocused."

Prospects Weekly: Market confidence has been rattled once again
Market confidence has been rattled once again following recent election results in France and Greece. However, credit default swaps rates, while up, remain well below their fall 2011 highs. Through March, retails sales have continued strengthening among both developing and high-income economies, although weakness still persists in the Euro Area. Notwithstanding the post-crisis appreciation in the currencies of several developing countries, in general, their currencies still remain below pre-crisis peaks.
|Euro Area sovereign debt concerns have resurfaced once again. Following elections in France and Greece, the political landscape in the Euro Area has changed. The new French President-elect has indicated his intention to add a growth component to the EU fiscal treaty, while the Greek elections were inconclusive, and the influence of anti-austerity parties has increased markedly. These events, plus the announced bail out of one of Spain's largest banks have rattled investors' confidence once again. Credit default swap rates (CDS) have risen by 95.3, 37.3, 25.8 and 19.4 basis points in Portugal, Spain, Italy and France, respectively between 4th and 9th May. Among other Euro Area countries, CDS rates are up an average 5.2 basis points, but remain 116.5 basis points below their fall 2011 peaks.
Retail sales continue to strengthen across most regions. Easing inflationary pressures, rising employment strong credit growth, and in some cases lower policy rates have contributed to an up-tick in developing country retail sales volumes during the three months ending February (10.7%, 3m/m saar). The strength of developing-country domestic demand is also reflected in their import demand, which increased at a 19 percent annualized pace over the same period. In the U.S., improving labor market and consumer confidence conditions have boosted retail sales growth. Even in Europe, where consumer confidence remains low, retail sales expanded in March - the first increase in 5 months. Nevertheless, demand remains shackled by high unemployment and ongoing fiscal austerity. Looking forward, recent easing in oil prices could support real-incomes and further boost retail sales.
|Despite substantial appreciations since the trough of the crisis, the real-effective exchange rates of many developing countries remain below pre-crisis peaks. Measured from post-crisis troughs the currencies of many developing countries have appreciated strongly (by more than 30 percent in many cases). However, measured on a longer-term perspective, the real-effective exchange rates of currencies of Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, India and Turkey remain below pre-crisis peaks. Among major middle-income countries, China's Renminbi has appreciated the most. While capital flows have contributed to short-term volatility, the appreciation since 2005 among commodity exporters like Brazil, Indonesia, and Russia appears to mainly reflect higher commodity prices.

New Orleans
Everything you need to know about New Orleans
Info from the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau
New Orleans has always been a non-conformist, a city of adventurous spirit, ready to consider the alternatives.
Since 1699, when French explorers landed at the great bend of the Mississippi River and celebrated the first Mardi Gras in North America, New Orleans has brewed a fascinating mélange of cultures. It was French, then Spanish, then French again, then sold to the United States. Through all those years, and even into the 21st century, others arrived from everywhere: Acadians (Cajuns), Africans, indigenous North Americans, Germans, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, New Yorkers.
Today, 310-year-old New Orleans is a major center of international trade and finance. Its port is the one of the largest in the world. Most of the grain from the US heartland passes through New Orleans en route to world markets. The city is a major focus of the Western Hemisphere's booming north-south trade. Major oil and gas production companies manage their Gulf of Mexico operations from New Orleans. And its major universities and medical centers are creating world-class technologies.
New Orleans is also the international capital of festivities. Of all kinds. It celebrates the arts in renowned museums and cultural centers. It celebrates an easy-going lifestyle with parks and zoos and architectural masterpieces. But most of all it celebrates itself. Especially with non-stop music and exceptional food.
New Orleans food is fascinating. Even at corner sandwich shops. And there's great music everywhere. Even on the streets. Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week.

10 Mukhi Rudraksha is considered to be the symbol of Lord Vishnu. If there is any unlucky or unfavourable planet in your Horoscope then this bead is extremely helpful in reducing the malefic effect of that unlucky planet. Continue reading about 10 Mukhi Rudraksha.
हिंदी में पढने के लिए क्लिक करें दस मुखी रुद्राक्ष |
The term Rudraksha (Rudra i.e. Shiva + aksha i.e. eye) stands for the eyes of Lord Shiva implying thereby that it was pleasant to the eyes of Lord Shiva, and hence named in His Honour.
How to wear 10 Mukhi Rudraksha ?
10 Mukhi Rudraksha must be worn after Siddhi (method of purification & charging with Mantra). Before sending the bead to you, we always perform Siddhi free of cost. It should be worn on Monday. Wash it with milk.
The mantra to wear 10 Mukhi Rudraksha is "OM HREEM NAMAH". After wearing this bead, chant 5 rosaries of the above mentioned mantra or you can also chant 5 rosaries of "OM NAMAH SHIVAYA" to multiply its benefit.
Why Rudrakshas are oiled?
Rudrakshas are oiled to strengthen them and to save them from insects. Oiling doesn't change a low quality bead into fine quality. Oiling is done only to improve the skin and strength of the bead. ALWAYS keep the bead oiled. After regular cleaning, oil it and treat it with incense. This is of UTMOST importance, especially when not using the bead for sometime, or storing it for a while.
How to check quality of Rudrakshas?
Many get confused with the shape and size. One should not seriously worry about it. Just see that the Mukhs are well defined and corns & contours are natural.

Tennessee In Hot Water Again, But This Time Over A Music VideoPosted by nvr1983 on January 24th, 2011
A little over two years ago we mentioned the budding music career of Renaldo Woolridge before he had even played a game for Tennessee. We noted that his constant references to his involvement with the basketball team appeared to be a NCAA violation and we were met with criticism from many Tennessee fans who felt that it was just an innocent hobby and nothing bad would happen from it.
Well, it appears that Swiperboy aka Baller Vol aka The Answer aka Woolridge [Ed Note: Is this inspired by Puff Daddy aka Diddy aka P. Diddy aka Sean Combs?] has caught the attention of the media and the NCAA again with his music. Earlier today it was first reported that Woolridge had filmed a music video on Saturday at a local bar without having to pay for using the area. That act could be construed as a NCAA violation (impermissible benefit granted due to one's status as an athlete) that would not be unlike what happened to Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly a little over a month ago for getting discounted clothing. Later in the day, however, Tennessee responded with a statement that essentially cleared Woolridge and the program of any wrongdoing stating that the area was used for free by other student groups, no filming had taken place, and the area had not been blocked off to the public. Case closed, right? As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast my friend."
Just a few hours after the statement by Tennessee that attempted to clear Woolridge and the program of any wrongdoing, the same local newspaper that first reported the potential violation came back with another report that appears to directly contradict what the school stated. According to the report, the bar's owner confirmed that Woolridge had indeed spent an hour shooting a music video there (the university said the same person had told them Woolridge was just scouting a potential location) and several eyewitnesses at the bar including two employees confirmed that Woolridge was in an area blocked off to the public (the university: the area was open to the public) and that they were shooting a music video (the university: they had only taken photos to scout the location). According to Raed "Ryan" Zekry, the bar owner, the area "was given to [Woolridge] by the New Amsterdam for free because we do support him and UT sports in general," and that Woolridge "shot the video to support UT."
The reports that Woolridge was taping the music video and that the area was blocked off to the public (both statements directly contradict Tennessee's report on the incident) are strong pieces of evidence disputing the athletic department's one-day investigation into the matter and strongly suggest that this was in fact an NCAA violation, not to mention that it was to "support UT sports." On the surface, the original incident (Woolridge benefiting because he was an athlete) would be relatively minor and would probably result in punishment along the lines of what K-State's Pullen and Kelly got (probably anywhere from three to nine games). A bigger issue arises for the Tennessee athletic program, though. As you may remember, UT has already had some issues with lying to the NCAA (see Pearl, Bruce) and has its three major athletic programs — basketball, football, and baseball — currently under investigation by the NCAA, and about which the athletic department received a letter of inquiry in October. You see, the school expects to receive the NCAA's findings on those matters shortly. The timing of this situation and Tennessee's response (and any alleged further obfuscation of the truth) could not be possibly worse for the program at a moment when the NCAA expects them to be on their best behavior. Don't be surprised if the NCAA delays its decision a little longer to factor in this latest incident and a possible cover-up before it hands down its recommendations and punishment for a program that can't seem to keep itself out of trouble.

21K Pinball Roulette win at King Solomons Casino
A player at King Solomons Casino has won €21,599 on Pinball Roulette through a series of very lucky bonus win. Mahesan N. from Bahrain joined the online casino back in 2010 and is an avid Arcade Games player with Pinball Roulette being his big favorite.
Pinball Roulette is a clever combination of the games of pinball and roulette which have been merged in order to add some excitement to the game. The goal is to predict where the ball will come to rest between the numbers 1 to 36 plus the 0. Unlike a genuine game of roulette however the little white ball is not launched in the roulette wheel but goes through a game of pinball, bouncing this and that way until it lands on the scrolling roulette strip at the bottom of the game screen.
At the end of each winning round, where the chosen number has been correctly guessed, the bonus game is launched where it is possible to win up to 10 times the amount of the original wager through a series of multipliers. This is where Mahesan N. found his fortune.
On August 22nd, Mahesan N. headed for some fun time with Pinball Roulette and luck being on his side, made correct guesses on most rounds which resulted in him getting access to several bonus rounds in quick succession. The major part of his winnings came from bonus win where he respectively won €3,720, €4,140, €3,285, €2,520 and €1,440. Near the end of his gameplay, Mahesan n. hit his biggest win of all where he scooped a fantastic €7,200 during a bonus session.
King Solomons Casino offers a good selection of Arcade Games. Amongst the most popular are several variations of Keno, Hi-Lo, Roulette, Darts, Bingo and games which will have us reminisce about our childhood such as Rock-Paper-Scissors and Heads or Tails.

The earthquake that rocked Napa on Sunday stressed three adjacent faults, but the likelihood that it could trigger a major new earthquake is a diminishing risk, federal geologists said Monday.
The 6.02 magnitude earthquake on the West Napa Fault that trashed part of downtown Napa and shook awake tens of thousands of sleeping Bay Area residents put additional stress on the Green Valley Fault to its east in Solano county and the Rodgers Creek Fault to its west, said research scientist David Schwartz of the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake also boosted stress on the northern part of the Hayward Fault under San Pablo Bay, he said. Other major faults in the Bay Area, such as the San Andreas and Calaveras, were not affected.
"That little push could trigger something bigger, but generally it does not happen," said Schwartz.
The increased tension "will last a little while, and then die off," he said. When a fault moves, it changes the stress on the tips of adjacent faults, he explained.
"There is a slight chance that it is a foreshock to a larger event. It is very small — significantly less than 5 percent. But that chance does exist," added Joern Kaven, research geophysicist at the USGS office in Menlo Park.
USGS geologists predict 12 to 20 smaller tremors along the West Napa Fault within the next week.
There is a 5 to 10 percent chance within the next week of a repeat earthquake of magnitude 6 or larger and a 16 percent chance of a slightly smaller earthquake, measuring between magnitude 5 to 6, said Kaven.
"The longer it takes, the lesser the chances" of such earthquakes, he said.
The West Napa Fault has long been known to be an active fault. It had a 4.9 magnitude earthquake in 2000.
On Aug. 5, a 3.6 magnitude foreshock on the fault shook the area.
Sunday"s "strike-slip" quake shifted the fault"s two faces by 2.5 inches, making a long crack in the Napa landscape.
The Napa quake was the Bay Area"s largest since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, magnitude 6.9, in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Strike-slip faults are the dominant form of fault in the Bay Area. The most famous example is California"s San Andreas Fault, a many-branched system stretching about 600 miles from Southern California to the Point Reyes Peninsula and then out to sea. The "Great Quake" of 1906 that ravaged San Francisco struck along this fault.
The sideways motion of the fault is caused by the Pacific Ocean"s crustal plate moving to the northwest under North America"s continental crust.
Shock waves from Sunday"s early morning temblor were felt as far east as Winnemucca, Nevada, as far south as Bakersfield and up to Yacult, Washington.
On Monday, scientists were studying clues in the six-mile long and six-mile-deep fractured fault.
"The faulting and shock waves — how far it extended and its orientation — that informs us in understanding the fault system better and assessing what the risk is in the future," said Kaven.

It was a moment of crisis in my faith. As a young doctoral student in astrophysics, I had just read some work by Stephen Hawking that would eventually go into his classic A Brief History of Time. Up to this point in my Christian life, I had relied on a solid argument to use with my atheist friends. In response to, "The universe began with a Big Bang," I countered with, "But who started it all off—who lit the explosion?" And at the time, science seemed to support my answer: There was no way to combine quantum theory and relativity and therefore no way of describing the first moment of the universe.
Hawking, however, was speculating on how the universe might have lit its own Big Bang. If that was true, did I need a Creator anymore? I asked Sir Robert Boyd, a leading physicist and Christian, about whether Hawking might be wrong. Sir Robert simply replied, "The biblical Creator doesn't need to hide in little gaps in science."
The Christian doctrine of Creation has often been hijacked by controversies over how old the universe is. It has been hollowed out by the theory that God simply ignites the universe and then goes off for a cup of coffee, never touching his masterwork again. It is interesting that attacks on belief in a Creator, whether from Hawking, Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion, or Lawrence M. Krauss's recent A Universe from Nothing, tend to target this diminished deity. But the Bible has a much bigger understanding of God as Creator. Not only does the doctrine of Creation feature in Scripture beyond just Genesis 1, God's creative activity permeates every moment of the history of the universe.
My Hawking-induced crisis of faith spurred me to move beyond a "God ...1

The baby delivery ward at Glendale Adventist Medical Center was a hub of activity Wednesday, with nine babies having been born by mid-afternoon on the very rare date of 12-12-12 — the last time such a triple-date sequence will be on the calendar this century.
The hospital expected to see 14 births by the end of the day, said spokeswoman Alicia Gonzalez, adding that the average number of deliveries a day is eight.
Four of the births were by Cesarean by midday, with another scheduled for later on, Gonzalez said.
Jesse John Martinez Jr. was the first natural birth, arriving at 4:59 a.m.
He was supposed to be born on Christmas Day, but his mother, Nicole Medrano, 18, went into labor around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Medrano said she wasn't particularly surprised by the early arrival.
"I was born a week early and my Mom was born two weeks early," she said.
The baby's father Jesse Martinez, 18, said he didn't expect his baby to be born on such as special day.
"I guess we were just lucky," he said.
The couple, who are engaged, live in Highland Park. Medrano is a recreation leader at the Monrovia Community Center and Martinez works at Domino's Pizza.
Verdugo Hills Hospital had a C-section delivery at exactly 12:12 p.m., but it wasn't scheduled in advance.
Valerie Cornell had gone to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena at around 1 a.m. Wednesday because she thought she was going into pre-term labor. The baby was expected to arrive on Dec. 17, she added.
Cornell was monitored for about an hour. Doctors then released her and told her to see her physician in the morning.
After an examination, Cornell's doctor sent her to Verdugo Hills Hospital, which is across the street from his office.
Doctors there decided to perform a C-section after they determined it was medically necessary and it worked out that Cornell's first child, Michelle Elizabeth, arrived at 12:12 p.m.
Cornell and her husband, Cris, both in their 30s, have been married for five years and live in La Crescenta. Valerie Cornell is a teacher and Cris Cornell is an engineer.
At Glendale Memorial Hospital, a baby was delivered at noon — just shy of the special arrival time.
Daniel Margousian was born to Linda Torosian and Rafik Margousian of Glendale, the couple's first child, said hospital spokeswoman Angela Giacobbe.
