Christmas has come and gone. We've spent the last few months thinking about our families and friends, making sure that the perfect gift was selected for each and every one. But the Christmas trees are coming down, and the decorations are going away for another year. The last of this season's holidays is on the horizon, and the time has come to make a new resolution: put yourself first.
1. Thank You… to Me
All you need for this mini-project is a bit of paper, a pen and a jar… and, of course, a little inspiration. Cut the paper into small rectangles, and on each one, write one thing that you're proud of yourself for, like a thank you note to yourself for all of the things you accomplish all year long. Be honest! Place them all in the jar, and put it on your shelf. Throughout the year, whenever you need a little boost, pick one piece of paper from the jar and read it.
Step it up… by adding decoration to the jar in the form of paint, or to the inside by using different colored paper or by filling the bottom of the jar with colored glass beads.
2. Redeemable for…
Come up with five things you love but never find the time to do: a pedicure, a road trip, a date with your honey, a trip to the local museum… even just a long bath with the door locked and a pile of magazines! Write out a coupon for each of these five things, and keep them in your wallet. When you feel like you need a break, redeem one of them, guilt-free. And they expire at the end of the year, so use them up!
Step it up… by including your significant other. Write one or two coupons redeemable for things that the both of you like to do. And no one is allowed to complain about paying a babysitter or leaving cell phones at home!
3. A Jar of Good Thoughts
It's the end of the year, and it may be hard to come up with the time to put one of these two other ideas in place, but that's no reason not to do them! All you need for this last idea is a jar, which you can decorate or not. Place it in a place where you'll see it, and resolve to put at least one good thought in it every day. It can be something good that happened that day, a memory, a book you loved or even just the lyrics of a song you liked. Pick a day — the end of 2013 or any other day you like — to go through them and see all the good thoughts you had all year long!
Step it up… by including the whole family! Everyone gets a jar, and anyone can slip a little note into anyone's jar. At the end of the year, not only will you have notes from yourself, but notes from the ones you love!

Adrenal Rebuilder™
Formulated by Dr. James L. Wilson
Multi-glandular building blocks (without hormones) to optimally support healthy adrenal structure & function. When the adrenal glands are overworked by stress or illness, both their function and structure need support. Dr. Wilson's Adrenal Rebuilder™ provides naturally bio-available building blocks your body can readily use to help support healthy adrenal structure and promote optimal function of your adrenals and the other endocrine glands affected by stress. This unique multi-glandular dietary supplement is processed to be free of hormones, but retain the nutritive components that help build strong glandular structure and function. Many people using Adrenal Rebuilder™ have told us that it has been the key to helping them rebound from stress and experience renewed energy and well being.
"I created Adrenal Rebuilder™ so that those who are experiencing stress and adrenal fatigue can get the support you need.* The results have been wonderful – even better than I had hoped! The very best results have occurred when Adrenal Rebuilder™ was used with our other adrenal products as part of my Program for Adrenal Fatigue & Stress."* Dr. James L. Wilson
Your adrenal glands respond to every kind of stress you experience by producing and secreting hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline, that regulate many essential processes in your body. Stress can fatigue your adrenals, causing adrenal hormone levels to drop (adrenal fatigue). When your adrenal glands are overworked by stress, the resulting biochemical and cellular changes can affect many systems in your body such as immune function, blood sugar balance, energy production, thyroid function, and hormone balance, among others. Specific, targeted supplemental support can aid in maintaining healthy adrenal tissue structure and function, and contribute to overall good heath and vitality during times of stress, as well as to your ability to handle additional stress. Dr. Wilson designed the products in his Program for Adrenal Fatigue & Stress to work together to provide the specific targeted support that optimally fosters healthy adrenal function and structure. Adrenal Rebuilder™ is the foundation product in this program and the cornerstone support for health during adrenal fatigue and stress.
Adrenal Rebuilder™ is a unique formula containing concentrated glandular extracts that provide important natural building blocks for the adrenal and related endocrine glands. These concentrates are carefully selected, processed to be free of hormones, and combined in precise proportions to best facilitate building and maintaining healthy adrenal tissue and function, while also supporting the other endocrine glands affected by stress.The precise combination of ingredients that makes Adrenal Rebuilder™ succeed where other adrenal products have failed is the result of hard won insights gained by Dr. Wilson during his more than 30 years of clinical and research experience. It has been known since 1918, when the first adrenal tissue extracts became available in the US, that the most effective way to support the health of people experiencing adrenal fatigue is to have them take adrenal cortex glandular tissue along with the tissues of supporting endocrine glands. Dr. Wilson found that adrenal cortex from high quality porcine (pig) sources that has been processed to remove the hormones produces the best results. In addition to a generous amount of adrenal gland concentrate, Adrenal Rebuilder™ contains high quality, hormone-free hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonad concentrates in the proportions that provide the greatest support for those experiencing stress and adrenal fatigue. This product is free of any thyroid glandular extracts. Dr. Wilson created the herbal & nutritional supplement called Thyro Balance to provide optimal support of the thyroid gland.
This deep fortifying takes time, so even though you may notice a difference within a week or two, it is necessary for most people to continue taking Adrenal Rebuilder™ for at least 6 months to fully support and benefit their adrenal glands. For optimal effectiveness, use Adrenal Rebuilder™ with the companion products Dr. Wilson created as part of his Program for Adrenal Fatigue & Stress: Adrenal C Formula™, Super Adrenal Stress Formula™, and Herbal Adrenal Support Formula™. Adrenal Rebuilder™ is the program's mainstay during times of stress and adrenal fatigue, and should be the last adrenal supplement you discontinue. We have received excellent feedback in New Zealand from people who have been on the other Adrenal Fatigue products to assist them in their quest for relief from their fatigue. Adrenal Rebuilder™ it is now available in a new economical 150 tablet size as well as the original 90's.
Ingredients: A proprietary blend containing porcine adrenal, gonad, hypothalamus, and pituitary concentrates processed to remove hormones. Adrenal Rebuilder™ contains no thyroid glandular extracts or hormones.
Directions for use: Take between 1-4 tablets with each meal and 1 at bedtime. If needed, take 1-2 every 3 hours or as recommended by your health practitioner. As results are seen, gradually decrease to 1 or more a day, as needed.
Pack size: available in 2 pack sizes: 90 and 150 tablets
Side effects: The ingredients in Adrenal Rebuilder™ have no known detrimental side effects when used as directed.

Part 1: http://www.ign.com/blogs/militaryveterangamer/2012/03/27/popular-movie-supporter-cliches/
These are statements made by rabid movies fans or "fanboys" to discredit the opinions of people who don't like what the movie fan likes. What makes these statements so interesting is they are repeated by so many different and, seemingly, unconnected people...both male and female. The statements are eerily similar; almost cult-like in their frequency of use. In fact, the statements are so similar you would think they came from a book or sacred tome of knowledge.
Keep in mind, we all have different tastes, and we all have "guilty pleasures"...movies that aren't very good or are absolute trash, but we like them anyway.
Cliché #7: You Just Don't Understand the Material.
This argument is used when a majority of people look at a movie or project and see the lazy writing, poor acting, poor pacing, convoluted plot devices, and overuse of vague metaphors in the presentation. Hidden meaning, if any, is difficult to find because of the copious amounts of unnecessary crap stuffed into the narrative.
Supporters claim they find all sorts of deep, hidden meaning in different scenes each time they re-watch a movie or project;
"When character "A" did this; it really meant this."
"What happened at the end means this really didn't happen at the beginning,"
...and all kinds of other nonsense that apparently went over everyone else's heads (Most of what supporters claim they found probably wasn't there in the first place). Keep in mind, many of these same individuals could probably find deep meaning and metaphoric circumstance in a Turd sandwich.
Cliché #8: This Movie Was Not Made for You or You Are Not Part of the Demographic.
This is another petty rant used to attack someone who did not like the flaming pile of crap that was the latest movie or project. Hate to break it to you (actually, I enjoy it), but movies that are not designed to appeal to general audiences usually don't do very well at the box office.
So who was the movie made for then...the fans? Hmm? Many of the quote, unquote "fans" don't seem to like it much either. Could it be that the movie was awful, but you found the experience entertaining anyway?
Cliché 9: You're Just a Movie Snob.
You have to love this one. The last time I checked, the terms "elite" and "snob" referred to a small number of individuals that believe they are superior to others. So You're saying you and the small amount of people who like a project are true connoisseurs, and anyone who was disappointed or thought the filmmaker didn't put his best efforts into the project is an elitist snob?
Uh...yeah...when you understand what the definition of a "snob" is it doesn't quite seem to fit in this case, does it? Keep in mind, most people who dislike a movie either dislike it because they've seen the concept done much better or what's there is awful on most or all levels. Have you ever considered the possibility that your inexperience with movies could mean you're more forgiving of the crap that passes as a good one?
Cliché 10: Your Expectations Are Too High.
This one's interesting. Have you taken a look at prices for many of the things people buy lately? Look at the price of new games, comics, Anime, etc; things are getting a wee bit expensive and movies are no exception.
Sorry, but tickets to a movie can cost from $10 – 30 or more (by the area you live in and 3-D if applicable) per person; not including concessions and additional people. Moviegoers are entitled to have high expectations when they spend so much. That s**t adds up; if I'm spending crazy money, I expet to be entertained.
Cliché 11: Just Turn Off Your Brain (…or maybe you're not dumb enough to like this crap that passes as a movie)
Of all the movie support clichés this is my favorite...and the most absurd. Basically, they are claiming that if you don't analyze what's happening onscreen, you can actually enjoy the movie. Do I actually have to point out how mind-numbingly f**king ridiculous this one sounds? How the hell is it possible to shut off a human brain and not kill the person? Okay, for the sake of explanation, let's say you can actually do this. How is it possible to enjoy the movie if your brain is so inactive that it cannot process the information that your eyes and ears are sending it?
Let me let you in on a little secret. The reason a person analyzes what he or she watches is because the narrative is so poorly executed that an audience cannot stay engaged; plots that jump all over the place, annoying or underdeveloped characters, overlong slow motion or effects shots, and bad acting...you get the idea (These things can occasionally drag you kicking and screaming out of the narrative).
A good movie keeps the audience engaged. You are so into the characters and what is happening that you partially lose track of time or what is going on around you. Unless you need to go to the bathroom, someone interrupts your viewing experience, or the movie ends, you will stay engaged. Turning off your brain or, otherwise, lowering your ability to think means you are turning yourself into an idiot with a low attention span...and that's what it takes to like the movie; like it or not, that's what turning off your brain means.
Cliché #12: You Just Didn't Want to Like It.
This is the argument that tries to disqualify how a person feels about a movie or project because the other person was not a fan of the original source material or genre the project fits into. Believe it or not, this would be a fair criticism...except for one fatal flaw (which we'll get to).
Apparently, the story (or lack thereof), the acting, and the directing have nothing to do with why a person might dislike a movie after they've seen it. Of course, there will be people who will not normally watch a particular type of movie (romantic comedies, dramas, action movies, etc).
The one fatal flaw in this argument is what happens if the movie turns out to be good? One thing really good movies all seem to have in common; they seem to have the uncanny ability to entertain most people who were determined not to like them. Most people who are determined to hate a movie walk out of it thinking the movie is good or, at least, much better than they thought, if it actually "IS" a good movie.
Let's face facts; we're all fans or fanboys of something. It doesn't become a problem until we refuse to accept that other people don't share our enjoyment of something and we attack them for it.

Some of the biggest names in British music have written to David Cameron calling for a crackdown on illegal file-sharing.
Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Sir Elton John and Simon Cowell are among those who claim the UK economy could be boosted by stronger copyright laws to protect the music industry.
They have urged the Prime Minister to implement the Digital Economy Act 2010 to ensure internet service providers (ISPs), search engines and online advertisers protect consumers from illegal sites.
Their letter, which was also signed by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend from The Who, and Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen, stated: "As the world's focus turns to the UK this summer, there is an opportunity to stimulate growth in sectors where the UK has a competitive edge. Our creative industries represent one such sector, which creates jobs at twice the speed of the rest of the economy.
"Britain's share of the global music market is higher than ever with UK artists, led by Adele, breaking through to global stardom.
"As a digitally advanced nation whose language is spoken around the world, the UK is well positioned to increase its exports in the digital age. Competition in the creative sector is in talent and innovation, not labour costs or raw materials.
"We can realise this potential only if we have a strong domestic copyright framework, so that UK creative industries can earn a fair return on their huge investments creating original content.
"Illegal activity online must be pushed to the margins. This will benefit consumers, giving confidence they are buying safely online from legal websites."
Robert Plant, Professor Green and Tinie Tempah also added their names to the letter.

Hunt/Pioli Gift Haley With His Firing
For Todd Haley, it was the best thing that could have happened.
To be able to get out of the mess that is the Kansas City Chiefs right now is a good thing. In the big picture it's the best thing that Haley and those that care about him could have hoped for at this point.
Nobody likes to be fired. Believe me. I did not know until about three years ago how hard it is to deal with all the emotions bubbling inside you when somebody says we don't want you anymore.
But in this case, it's better for Haley to be away from the toxic atmosphere that has become the Kansas City Chiefs. It won't be his problem anymore, and while that will take some getting used to for a guy who spent 20 hours a day on Chiefs football, he will ultimately learn that stepping away from the situation will be cleansing and more than likely fruitful.
Now, the problem is in the hands of Clark Hunt and Scott Pioli, and believe me they have a problem, make that problems in the very plural sense. Probably their biggest problem is credibility – they do not have any. Not an ounce. Despite the fact they seem to think they are entitled to the benefit of a doubt on their decisions, they are not, and this current mess is just one of the reasons why.
Just six weeks ago, Hunt told the Kansas City Star that there was no contemplation of a coaching change with the Chiefs. In fact, he went out of his way to praise Haley's work. Six weeks later, Haley is shoved out the door. The fact is the Chiefs in some fashion or another have been contemplating a coaching change almost from the moment the 2011 season began. There's credibility problem No. 1.
At the same time Hunt tried to sell us on the fact that everything was just fine in the Chiefs offices and that Pioli and Haley had a very good working relationship. And that's credibility problem No. 2.
With Pioli the problem is this – how many chances is he going to get to find a coach he can work with? And, does that coach even exist? It's going to be damn near impossible to find a competent NFL head coach candidate that will cede the type of control Pioli demands and welds within the football operation at Arrowhead Stadium. OK, some other coach than Josh McDaniels.
The best coaches available – that would be guys with the experience of leading NFL teams to victories and championships – are not going to be interested in this mess. Even some of the better known coordinators around the league will hesitate when they learn the parameters of what happens when you enter Pioli's world.
Once the relationship between Pioli and Haley went south, the head coach was a man without a country. Pioli had the power, the purse strings and the ear of the owner. Haley was fighting an uphill battle and he was doing it without any help from anyone beyond his locker room and staff.
That's not a good situation to work in and success is damn near impossible under those conditions. The marriage of Pioli and Haley was not made in heaven; it was not made to last. Both parties had real concerns about their decisions almost immediately after the wedding.
No matter the setting, no matter the sport, the relationship between coach and GM is not always smooth. There have been men in those positions that fought like cats and dogs, but were still successful. That happens when they are working for the same goals and can put up with the differences in approach and opinion.
That wasn't going to happen with the Chiefs. So now they start again. Pioli just had his mulligan. The pressure is on him now to get it done and get it done correctly.
Todd Haley won't have to worry about that anymore. He's the one who came out on top, with the one way ticket out.

December 12, 2011 - Jason says:
While I truly feel Haley was not the right person for this job, it is more than clear to me that he is being offered up as a scapegoat for the ineptitude/arrogance of GM Scott Pioli. I cannot stand what this organization has become since they brought their so called "patriot way" to Arrowhead. The secrecy, the cloak and dagger, getting rid of scores of loyal Chiefs employees in back office and support positions, it is all very distasteful. I imagine Lamar rolling in his grave at the laughing stock his once proud organization has become at the hands of his cheapskate son. Lord how I miss the days of "King Carl"!!!
December 12, 2011 - the other dave says:
Good take, Bob. I feel bad for he and his family especially given the time of year but I'm sure he will find success with another team.
Hopefully Jeff Fisher can bring us an early Christmas gift.
December 12, 2011 - david says:
Bob I like your writing and columns. I am not sure how you come to blame Pioli for everything. Can you please tell more? I dont live in KC area but am avid Chief fan and have only heard rumors. I am sure there is enough blame to go around to all 3 (Hunt, Pioli and Haley). You have to admit Haley would be hard to deal with and is his own worse enemy. He thinks he is a genius and he isnt. He has huge ego for someone that really has not a great coaching resume. When he left people run the offense and defense and worried about the team the Chiefs did fine. But when he went back to thinking he was an offensive genius 2 bad season followed. Watched every Chiefs game this season and I have to say when the Chiefs are on offense Haley was doing all the talking and Muir would just look at the sheet of paper. Glad to see him gone. He is not the genius he thinks he is.
December 12, 2011 - Johnfromwichita says:
Crap, wrong person fired again. Should have fired Hunt and Piolo. They are soley responsible for this mess. Oh double crap; can't fire owner and puppet. That wasn't an earthquake I just felt; that was Lamar turning over. But Jason, I don't miss Carl.
December 12, 2011 - Josh says:
Shhh, Bob. Great head coaches might read this article and turn down the position.
Contrarily, I believe a strong coach would look at the opportunity with gusto. He'd get to come in to a nightmare of an organization, but have three great starters returning (not counting Cassel) some phenomenal draft positions, and a very low bar to compare to (Herm then Haley). Additionally, a moderate to easy schedule next year, and a fan base that won't go anywhere no matter how bad the owner keeps treating them like fools and taxpayers.
December 12, 2011 - Kenny says:
Great questions from you during the press conference. During one of Pioli's answers it sounded like there was a feeling from others in the coaching staff this would be the right decision.
December 12, 2011 - Mike says:
Josh, if Pioli's fourth draft isn't better than his first and third, it doesn't matter what our draft position is. The last time we had the third overall pick, we got Tyson Jackson! I wish Hunt had canned Pioli first. He's contributed virtually nothing to this organization.
December 12, 2011 - Kenneth says:
I think the wrong guy got fired, it is ludicrus to expect the Chiefs to do well after losing 1/2 of last years offense in 'Charles and Moeaki' and with a more difficult schedule not to even mention losing Berry and Cassel. I blame Haley for not having a veteran QB backing up Cassel but this firing wasn't done for any mistake Haley made.
I am a long time Chiefs fan (since they moved to KC from Dallas) and IMO there was a more personal agenda in this firing. As Gretz stated, Haley is likely better off being away from the Clark Hunt and Pioli atmosphere that is the Chiefs today.
I sit here wondering what Lamar would have said to this and to the "toxic atmosphere" in Chiefs upper management.
December 12, 2011 - el cid says:
Now the Haley saga is over, we look forward. Hunt and Pioli have removed their personal human sheild and official arrow catcher. Nothing is going to happen to Hunt and his ownership so that leaves Pioli. For some reason, after 3 years the talent is not a lot better than what Peterson had on the roster. The whys and wherefors about it do not matter, Pioli will be watched by the fans. The decision about the new HC will go a long way into showing us what the Chiefs are about.
December 12, 2011 - Al Cinelli says:
Another Yuletide Chiefs coaching fire: Gunther Cunningham, Herm Edwards, Todd Haley. 41 years and counting since Len Dawson and co. outdueled Joe Kapp's Vikings in SB IV. I live in Northern California and I'm watching Jim Harbaugh take a similarly talented group from worst to first in the NFC West. Anything is possible. Bob, I'm obvioiusly not privy to any inside information but from my end it looks like Haley blew it by 1) being the kind of pain in the ass prima donna who can't make nice with better credentialed offensive coordinators: Chan Gaily and Charlie Weis 2)giving us the hit or miss Chiefs of the last three years–beat or almost beat Pittsburgh, lose or almost lose to Buffalo. Last year's 10-6 team, Haley's best team, was napping for at least three games. Yes, we should have a better back up QB than T.J. Yates, I mean Tyler Thigpen, no I mean Tyler Palko. We did have a lot of injuries this year but those excuses only go so far. Ever watch NFL Red Zone. The fans of whoever plays the Chiefs must be frustrated missing their team for a week. Between the NFL Network and ESPN the Chiefs essentially don't exist. I'm hoping, against all hope probably, for a coach who can turn this thing around. Bob, you sound skeptical. For your next piece you should sum up all that stands in the way of a competitive, playoff ready Kansas City Chiefs. What's wrong with this organization and players? Be specific.
December 12, 2011 - chewbone says:
Bob you tried your best to pin scott down with your questions at the press conference, but he couldn't provide an answer. I have never seen him in that much of a visible setting having to speak and truthfully for what he gets paid I wasn't impressed!
December 12, 2011 - johnfromfairfax says:
I think you're right on target Bob. The two running the show have bankrupted their credibility and now have a mess to clean up. We'll see how it turns out but they created this miasma and Pioli has not done much to demonstrate his supposed football acumen to this point. I was in favor of the changes that brought Pioli to KC. I was also in favor of hiring Haley as coach. To say I'm less than impressed with the direction Junior Hunt and the paper tiger GM have taken us to this point would be a severe understatement. Unfortunately, they've done nothing to inspire confidence in any of us that they can find their way out of this mess. I hope I'm wrong but this season is over and we can look forward to another long offseason with far more questions than answers. I don't know about you but I'm getting kind of sick of that. Unfortunately the only recourse we have to demonstrate our disenchantment with their mismanagement is to withhold our loyalty even though that feels like an exercise in self flagellation. They sure as hell deserve it at this point.
December 12, 2011 - ED J says:
Guess the rift between the two guys was true. I'm indifferent on this decision to fire Haley. On one in I love the fact he developed alot of players on this team Bowe, Breaston, Charles, DJ, etc. The other hand he did make bad decision in preparing team at start of the season. Compounding that with not calling the plays himself Cassel struggled to get plays in on time throughout the season. Then team not looking prepared time after time getting blown out in losses. Then blind faith in Tyler Palko and Barry Richardson. So like i said i'm indifferent. My thing is Pioli needs to get it right this time with the next guy. Whether its Fisher or Kirk Ferentz or whoever just get it right.
December 12, 2011 - cychief24 says:
Don't be surprised when Todd Haley is the next Marv Levy.
Freerentz is 7-5 the last 2 years in the pathetically weak big 10. talkeye fans are starting to get fed up with his underachieving.
He has a losing record against Iowa State who has half the budget he has.
Edj keep dreamin that trailer park dream of yours -
December 12, 2011 - Bill Leifer says:
I have been a close follower of the Chiefs and the NFL, since 1966. I have lived in New Orleans, Atlanta, and KC. Here is what I see: I see a smaller midwestern city much too frantically obsessed with their NFL team, most likely because, even though KC is a great place (I was born and grew up there), there isn't truly a hell of a lot going on in the city sports-wise, and the baseball team has been nothing for a long time. There seems to be almost an inferiority complex. The fans seem to be way too frantic in their emotional ties to the Chiefs and their reactions to the inside politics of the franchise. In the big market cities, the teams are not supported when they suck, and they are when the teams are good. KC fans seem way too dependent on the Chiefs for their sports fix. The fans deserve some of the responsibility because of the pressure they put on the organization and their reactions and demands when things don't go well. Thus, the secrecy in the Pioli regime. Thus, many of the hasty decisions when getting rid of good players and coaches and coordinators when they have had a bad year or two. Folks, lighten up. This is just a big business, a corporation. I have never seen such obsession with daily goings on at training camp. Every pre and post game interview is taken like a presidential message or a declaration of national disaster or war. You fans must bear your share of the responsibility for all these years of frustration. Look in the mirror. Leave them alone. Go to the games and enjoy them and watch them. Enjoy the victories. When they stink, vote with your pocketbook and your remote control, like they do in the really big cities.
Rant over.
December 12, 2011 - Jonathan Fortune says:
For everyone who says get rid of Hunt remember he is the owner and you can't fire the owner. The scapegoat over time is always the head coach then the GM. Haley did not help his cause by saying that the team was unprepared in its blowouts. Sooner or later he was going to have to answer for it especially for the way he prepared the team during the offseason.
Pioli knows he's next on the chopping block if he does not choose the right head coach and make major upgrades to the Chiefs. It's sad when Gaither can step and start for San Diego when he should have been playing in Richardson's place. Also, it's bad when your backup QB has bounced around from the UFL and several NFL teams. Granted there weren't quality backup QBs this year in free agency but the Chiefs should have either addressed this last year or in this year's draft. I have a feeling this year they will make drafting a QB a priority.
I know many people forget that Clark said back in 2008 that he is not a patient man like his father so I don't forsee him sitting back and letting the Chiefs fall off for long. Lamar had the drive but after the merger and winning the Super Bowl he lost that hunger and though the Chiefs still had talented players thaey were getting old and Stram made a lot of bad drafting decisions. Lamar finally made a change when Arrowhead had many empty seats and hired Peterson. That worked until "King Carl" let his power go to his head. I have faith that Hunt and Pioli will clean up this mess and choose the right head coach.
December 12, 2011 - johnfromfairfax says:
Thanks Billy,
We needed the big city advice. We're all good now. P.S. Last time I checked Atlanta was never known for it's fans with the exception of their one shining "dirty bird" moment and the Saints fans showed up at games with bags over their heads for 30 or 40 years until they shed their lousy ownership and developed a winning attitude the last couple years. -

LOL. I follow bad football like a bee follows honey. I actually played in the Saints band for a couple of years. Those games were ridiculous. I remember when the Saints were losing to Cleveland 42-3 with two minutes left, and there was a bad call by the refs. The fans booed the refs so loudly and so long, they kept giving the Saints delay of game penalties all the way down the field. It was documented as the longest sustained booing in NFL history at the time. I was back in KC for our sole Chiefs super bowl victory and went to every home game that season. It sure was nice being back in KC and being immersed in the Dawson/Stram led Chiefs.

Haley will come out fine in the long run on this deal. The most troubling thing to me is the feeling I'm developing that Clark doesn't care about winning as much as he does just running a business. Oh sure, he wants to win – enough to keep the ink black. I'm sure he was a valuable contributor in the negotiations, but as for an owner that really wants to win, I'M FROM MISSOURI CLARK & YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SHOW ME! You better start projecting some passion in your demeanor because it appears your word is not as credible as originally believed.
December 12, 2011 - ED J says:
Out of all the blogs Jonathan Fortune makes the most valuable point. I think firing of Haley proves Hunt means business he's not going to allow his organization sit in mediocrity. Pioli will certainly be next in line if he chooses another guy he can't work with. To me he is as bad as Haley when people upset with Haley for not getting along with Gailey and Weis. Now Pioli not gettig along with head coach. I know this he better not hire McDaniels solely because of their relationship. He better hire someone that is very qualified and has resume of success. Its time this team reach out to more of veteran head coach who has track record of building a winner. Then go get a QB. Bottom line if Haley had better Qb he would still be around. So 1st step after getting head coach is marching in draft room and taking Barkley or RG3.
December 13, 2011 - Craig says:
Haley will be OK. He will land as an OC somewhere. Remember Bellichek was the Browns head coach at one time and got the boot. I bet they wish they had him back. The reality is Haley was not as ready as many thought. He will retool and be back. Good Luck Todd. Go chiefs. The lack of depth was the death knell for the Chiefs and that goes to owners unwillingness to spend the money.
December 13, 2011 - johnfromfairfax says:
That's a great story about the sustained booing drive. I don't remember that one specifically but do remember when they used to penalize the home team if the noise was so loud the visitors couldn't hear their play count. Arrowhead would be a different place (not for the better)if that rule still existed. Good stuff. -

JohnfromWichita; VERY GOOD POST. EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT THREE TIMES AND LET IT SINK IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chinese activist set free after promises of safety
Beijing: A blind Chinese activist who sparked a diplomatic tussle by holing up in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing for six days came out Wednesday after what U.S. officials said were assurances from China of his safety.
Chen Guangcheng`s escape from illegal house arrest and other mistreatment in his rural town and his flight into the protection of U.S. diplomats in Beijing had threatened to derail annual U.S.-China strategic talks involving U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton starting Thursday.
U.S. Ambassador Gary Locke escorted Chen to the Chaoyang Hospital, where he was to receive medical treatment. On the way, the activist called his lawyer, Li Jinsong, who said Chen told him: "`I`m free. I`ve received clear assurances.`"
Chen, 40, also received a call from Clinton, whom he thanked in Chinese for raising his case, a U.S. official said. Chen then told Clinton in halting English, "`I want to kiss you,`" the official said.
Chen, who ran afoul of local government officials for exposing forced abortions, escaped from 20 months of home detention last week, fleeing into U.S. hands and setting up the most delicate diplomatic crisis in years for the two governments.
As part of the agreement that ended the fraught, behind-the-scenes standoff, U.S. officials said China agreed to let Chen receive a medical checkup and be reunited with his family at the hospital. He would then be relocated to a safe place in China where he could study at university — all demands activists said Chen had raised.
In a fit of face-saving pique, the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded that the U.S. apologize, investigate how Chen got into the embassy and hold those responsible accountable.
"What the U.S. side has done has interfered in the domestic affairs of China, and the Chinese side will never accept it," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin told China`s official Xinhua news agency.
The apparent resolution shelves, at least for now, a predicament that threatened to move human rights to the front of a U.S.-China agenda crowded with disagreements over trade imbalances, North Korea and Syria.
With Chen out of the way, Clinton, Treasury Secretary Geithner and their Chinese counterparts can focus on the original purpose of their two-day talks starting Thursday: building trust between the world`s superpower and its up-and-coming rival.
However, leaving Chen is risky for President Barack Obama because Washington will now be seen as party to an agreement on Chen`s safety that it does not have the power to enforce.
U.S. officials, speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. gave unspecified assistance getting Chen into the embassy because he injured his leg escaping from his village. In the embassy, Chen did not request safe passage out of China or asylum in the U.S., said one of the officials.
Asked if the U.S. would apologize as Beijing demanded, the official said, "This was an extraordinary case involving exceptional circumstance, we do not anticipate that it will be repeated."
Chen served four years in prison and was then kept under house arrest with his wife, daughter and mother, with the adults often being roughed by officials and his daughter searched and harassed. His dogged pursuit of justice and the mistreatment of him by authorities brought him attention from the U.S. and foreign governments and earned him supporters among many ordinary Chinese.
Negotiations over Chen`s fate also had likely considered options such as him going to the U.S.
In a video statement he recorded while in hiding last week, Chen demanded that the Chinese government guarantee his family`s safety. He told fellow activists that his preferred option was to stay in China and continue his legal advocacy as long as his family is safe.
Bob Fu of the Texas-based ChinaAid said earlier Wednesday that Chen was conflicted.
Chen "wants to participate for the progress in China in this moment of history, and he is afraid of course he will lose touch and could not return if he chooses to come to the U.S.," said Fu, who was in touch with the activists who spirited Chen to Beijing.
Aside from his wife, daughter and mother, other family members remain at risk. Chen`s elder brother, Guangfu, was detained Thursday after officials discovered the activist missing. A nephew, Kegui, was wanted for injuring local officials when he fought back during a raid, though his whereabouts Wednesday were not known, said Liu Weiguo, a lawyer who volunteered to defend him.
Though Chen`s mistreatment has largely been seen as the work of vengeful local officials, he slipped away from one house arrest in 2005 only to grabbed in Beijing and sent back.
Mishandling the situation would leave Obama open to attacks from his presumed Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, in what is shaping up to be a tough re-election campaign.
Romney and several Republican lawmakers already have demanded that Obama not back down to Beijing. Handing over Chen without adequate safeguards would also draw intense criticism from the human rights community in the United States, one of Obama`s core constituencies.
"The U.S. government has a moral obligation to ensure that Chen Guangcheng, his family and any who aided his Houdini-like escape from house arrest are either granted asylum in the United States or are not mistreated if any of them choose to stay in China," said Frank Jannuzi, head of Amnesty International`s Washington office.

Jun 23, 2011Pairing the same awesome control mechanics with some crazy new environments, Flick Golf Extreme will put your flicking skills to the ultimate test.
Jun 17, 2011Flick Golf never presented itself as a 'realistic' golfing title, so 'Extreme!' takes things to the next level by placing courses in locations that fit its over-the-top style.
Jun 29, 2011My only complaint would be that load times can seem a little long for when I'm trying to get a quick game in during a commercial break on television or something, but it's certainly worth waiting for - it's also totally understandable when considering the detail in the levels that's been squeezed onto our little devices.
Jul 5, 2011It's still as enjoyable as the first and considering the game already makes use of slightly weird physics and non-traditional gameplay, the 'extreme' version is a better representation of what Flick Golf is all about: a casual, leaderboard driven golf game.
Jun 16, 2011Flick Golf Extreme! isn't a major departure from the original's arcade strokeplay, but the new locations and game mode are still a welcome addition to the formula.

McQueen's Machines: The Cars and Bikes of a Hollywood Icon By Matt Stone with a Foreword by Steves son, Chad McQueen Photo-Book 176 pages | He made movies best remembered for their wild car chases, mad motorcycle dashes, and hair-raising races, but no one forgets the man at the wheel--Steve McQueen, the King of Cool. No other Hollywood star has been so closely linked with cars and bikes. It is this connection that McQueens Machines explores, giving readers a close-up look at the cars and motorcycles McQueen drove in movies, those he owned, and others he raced. From the 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback he drove in Bullitt (in the greatest car chase of all time) to his Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in The Thomas Crown Affair, from the Triumph motorcycle of The Great Escape to the Gulf-Porsche 917K he actually raced in Le Mans, the cars and bikes that McQueen made famous in films make another appearance here. | The book also features the cars, motorcycles, and even airplanes
that McQueen owned over the years, including two motorcycles that fetched record prices at a recent auction: a
1937 Crocker "Hemi-head" V-Twin and a 1920 Indian Powerplus Daytona. Among notable cars profiled in the book are
a 1959 Porsche Speedster bought new by McQueen, a 1957 Jaguar XKSS, a 1963 Ferrari 250 Lusso, a 1953 Siata 208S,
a 1965 Ferrari 275 NART Spyder, and a 1969 "Le Mans" Porsche 911S. With a foreword by Steve's son, Chad McQueen,
and a wealth of details about the stars amateur racing career, his movie stunt work, and his car and motorcycle
collecting, McQueen's Machines draws a fascinating picture of one outsized mans driving passion. View Hi-Res sample photos in the McQueen's Machines preview gallery |

ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada -- Grenada will hold a coroner's inquest into the December 2011 death of a Canadian man after a judge quashed manslaughter charges against five police officers accused of beating him into a fatal coma in a cell, authorities said Monday.
Relatives say Oscar Bartholomew and his wife were visiting his native Grenada for the Christmas holidays when they stopped at the St. David's police station so she could use the bathroom. While his wife was inside, they say he mistook a plainclothes female police officer for an old friend and bearhugged her in front of the station in a southeastern corner of the island.
A group of male officers rushed out of the station when the plainclothes policewoman shouted "Rape!" Prosecutors allege the officers detained the 39-year-old Toronto carpenter and beat him in a holding cell. Relatives have accused police of leaving him bleeding in the cell for hours that Dec. 26 afternoon before calling an ambulance at the insistence of his wife.
An independent autopsy found that Bartholomew died of trauma to the head and sustained multiple injuries to his body. A state autopsy report came to similar conclusions.
But on Friday, a high court justice withdrew the criminal charges against the five officers accused of beating Bartholomew. The judge agreed with defence lawyers that the island's Coroner's Act demands that an inquest be held for people who die suspiciously in public places.
In Grenada, inquests can return a verdict and lead to criminal charges.
From her home in Cascapedia, Quebec, Bartholomew's widow, Dolette Cyr, said she was "very surprised" by the judge's ruling but said she was hopeful that the coroner's inquest would lead to fresh criminal charges against the officers.
"I hope for Grenada and I hope for my husband, too, that it's possible to reverse this decision," Cyr said in a brief phone interview.
The family's defence lawyer, Derick Sylvester, said the matter is far from over. He said criminal "charges could be refiled" after the inquest is completed.
Public Prosecutor Christopher Nelson said his office is weighing its legal options and a decision about how to proceed will likely be announced later this week. He said there was no precedent in Grenada for ordering a coroner's inquest while a criminal case was already under way.
With the criminal charges withdrawn, the five officers were reinstated in the Royal Grenada Police Force and must be paid back wages, said Anselm Clouden, a defence lawyer for one of the accused men. While on bail, the suspended officers received half of their wages.
When the officers were granted bail in January 2012, hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse to protest the ruling, insisting the case highlighted chronic problems with police brutality on the island. Grenada's prime minister, the police commissioner and hundreds of other Grenadians attended Bartholomew's burial on the island several weeks after his death.

So...We linked up for this Linky in December and had only been blogging for less than a month. We had no clue what we were doing or how Linky's worked. So, I just wanted to revisit this and apologize for totally not doing it right. AND I want to thank you for coming to our site and thanking us for linking up (even though we totally did it WRONG)!
Now that we (sort of) know what we are doing, we hope to link up many more times (correctly)!!

Happy birthday and congrats on the weight loss. I know that cupcake tastes incredible after 59 days. I have been there myself!
ReplyDeleteOh yum lemon cupcakes. I've only met one plant that I couldn't kill. I have an aloe plant that was given to me by my lab partner in college. Decades ago. It is my only houseplant left. I can forget to water it for over a month and it lives. I'm sure it could be killed with too much water, but that isn't likely.
ReplyDeleteRepliesDaphne, I had a snake plant that lived for years and years, until I took it to AZ with me. It got some type of bug down there that finally killed it. I kept shaking off the old potting soil and thoroughly washing the roots and repotting it into new soil, but whatever it was kept on hatching out no matter what I did. I also had a dieffenbachia and an angel wing begonia that lived a long time. The begonia was a start from my grandmother's plant, and probably 15 years or older. We moved to this house during a cold spell one November, and Mr. Granny put the plants in the back of the pickup to transport them. He didn't think driving two miles in that weather would hurt them, but it killed them both. Other than the snake plant, I haven't had live house plants for all the years we traveled to AZ for the winter. Now that we stay home, I guess I should give them another try.
Happy Birthday. Hope it was wonderful. I have also been on a diet and am not eating sugar. Some days go really well and some days I want a whole bag of candy. Why does it have to be so hard to eat healthy? I have an orchid and the instructions said to water it with 3 ice cubes once a week, you just set the cubes on the bark that surrounds the orchid. So far it seems to be working. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks, Peggi. I just pulled my orchid out of the plastic pot it came in and put it in a tall glass vase that fits perfectly on my kitchen windowsill. It, too, said 3 ice cubes or 1/4 cup of water once a week, so Saturday will be its watering day.
To keep from eating sweets, I have had good luck eating apple slices, with the peeling, with 1/2-1 tbsp. smooth peanut butter for dipping. I also buy no added sugar fruit cups to keep on hand....applesauce, peaches and mixed fruit. One or two graham crackers with a fruit cup is quite satisfying. Fruit/yogurt smoothies, made with my home grown frozen berries, has become my "ice cream" of choice. I cannot give up my carbs. If I can have my whole grain breads and cereals, with lots of fiber, I don't find it too hard to keep the calories under control. Take away my bread and oatmeal (I add flax meal and chopped walnuts to it), and I turn into a monster ;-) So my sugar consumption is quite high, but it almost all comes from fruit and a small amount of dairy.
Happy Birthday! I love the picture of you laughing! Looks like you had a fun day. Congratulations on the weight loss too. Nancy
ReplyDeleteKudos to you on losing weight! I've been doing a 21-day Sugar Detox lately (I'm on Day Five). I've been trying for quite a while to eat healthy, but for me that often means more fruit and less vegetables. So for 21 days I'm dropping the fruit (it has sugar in it too), and upping the veggies. There are so many processed foods, like bottled salad dressings, that have sugar in them, sometimes in more than one form.
I bet that cupcake tasted awesome! You look so happy, I love to see you laughing.RepliesAlison, I still give in to a few processed foods, but not very many (Stove Top stuffing, anyone?). I make my own practically zero calorie/sodium salad dressing with water thickened with a bit of cornstarch, cooled and mixed with my choice of vinegar and herbs. I do add a little bit of olive oil at serving, but don't like mixing it in and then storing it in the fridge. My greatest health hazards are artificial sweeteners which, having grown up with a diabetic mother and having a son who was diabetic from the age of ten, means I've consumed every brand of artificial sweetener on the market....and I'm still alive and relatively healthy. My go to desert, when fruit just won't do it for me, is 10 calories of sugarfree Jello with a dollop of that 20 calorie chemical called Cool Whip Light ;-)
Happy Belated Birthday Granny!!! I'm such a bad friend.....I hope you forgive me! You look wonderful! What a great day and Mr. Granny did Ok with the pics!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You look great, and I haven't even gone to see the other photo, yet, to compare! That sweater looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI hope your birthday was great. I hope I look as good as you do when I turn 74. How was the cupcake? And congrats on the weight loss! I'm trying to exercise since my eating habits are pretty good. I just need to increase my metabolism. I'd much rather eat a cupcake!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! You look fantastic and I would NEVER have guessed your age in a million years!

Happy birthday Granny. I had to get back to work to catch up with you. I hardly use the net when I am home. I just received $75.00 worth of seeds Saturday. I am going to convert my raised beds to the Square Foot method this year and try to raise more than just tomatoes in the same space. You have inspired me to get my hands dirty again. Now if you can inspire me to loose some weight you will truly be my hero. Love YA
Your Gardening Friend
Frank from VirginiaRepliesThank you, Frank! Hey, Mr. Granny has lost 16 pounds since December 29, so I'm sure I could motivate you! I'm up to 5 miles at a shot on the exercise bike now....just watch those pounds fall off of me, LOL! Actually, I only have six more pounds to go, and I kind of hate to see it end! I always did love a challenge :-)
Lovely photos! Tell your husband I've never ever taken a picture of my finger - but I've taken plenty of my feet! :D 59 days without dessert? You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteRepliesThank you, Jean. One of my favorite photos, taken by Mr. Granny, was of his eye. He was holding the camera up backwards!
PS: I'm waiting for you to come up with some fabulous low-cal recipes! Mr. Granny says if I feed him much more plain grilled chicken, he's going to start laying eggs. Oh, the birthday called for dessert two days in a row, but I'm back on the wagon now :-)

When 50 Cent ended his 2003 relationship with actress Vivica A. Fox, the two exchanged insults so harsh that there was no chance for a reconciliation. Until now!
Six years after they split, 50 Cent confirms their newfound friendship on The Tyra Show Tuesday.
"I called her," the rapper, 34, says.
Tyra Banks admits she was shocked they reconnected.
"I'm confused because you guys had beef. You were saying crazy stuff about her," Banks tells 50 Cent. "She even came on this show, and she was not very happy with you."
50 Cent says that he dated Fox, 45, for "about a year," despite reports that it was only a month-long romance.
"It was like a month, but we were still going back and forth with each other for the rest of the year," he said, adding that after their public blowout, "she was really upset with me."
His olive branch?
"I said, 'You got to stop fighting and be in my video,'" he says of his latest music video, "Do You Think About Me."
He says they are now friends. As for whether they'll ever date again, 50 Cent is not counting on it.
"The song's about when relationships don't work, and when I explained it to her it kind of intensified what the song was about," he says. "And it's now being a visual with the public sees us as that relationship that didn't work."
To watch 50 Cent's full interview, tune into The Tyra Show Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST on the CW.

"With one out in the third inning, the crowd doused Kozma with boos as he walked from the on-deck circle and dug into the right-handed batter's box," Kilgore wrote on Monday night. "Kozma had last stood in that dirt on Oct. 12, 2012, the night his two-out, two-strike single in the top of the ninth off Storen ended the Nationals' season and sent the Cardinals to the NLCS. Washington gave him a proper villain's welcome. 'That's respect,' Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig said. 'That's an honor right there.'"
"I've never been booed before, so it was kind of a strange feeling," Kozma said, via MASNSports.com. "The booing gave me a little fuel. It helped me. I wanted to do well."
Kozma, of course, was the star of Barry Svrluga's cover story on Monday. He also inspired Holden Kushner and Danny Rouhier to establish the D.C. Pete Kozma Sonofabitch Hall of Fame, whose initial inductees included Clint Longley, Korie Lucious, Jaroslav Halak, and Damon Jones and Kozma himself. (Listen to that audio here.)
There's a video out there of Kozma's second at-bat on Monday, but the true boos came down during the first at-bat. Here's that audio, as heard on 106.7 The Fan, the team's flagship station.
"Let's hear the reaction to the next Cardinal batter," Dave Jageler said.
"Shortstop, No. 38, Pete Kozma," the public address announcer said.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," the crowd said.
"He's become this generation's Bucky Dent, Dave," Charlie Slowes said.
