Worst Thing You Did To Your Friend
Probably yelling at one of my friends but it was worser than it sounds or calling another one of my friends a hypocrite.
I'm oddly good at being able to manipulate people so i often used it when i was younger. I once manipulated a friend to stop her from doing the same course as me- I realised then how terrible it was and 'un-did' it. I don't manipulate anymore ^-^
Old CR lover! Alive as of 31/07/16
In the beginning of high school I had a friend who got on every one's nerve including mine. I was hanging out with two other friends. One of them noticed that the our lovely little friend had left her CD Folder over. So we got her CD's and just threw them at the ceiling fan. Then we continued to scratch them by putting the CD's down and turning them. I returned them to her after.
-i value my friends but to those that i really clash with and are just all to easy to pick on....well my wrath side has some fun. normaly it is just outsmarting them in some way. once in a while, i must admit, i enjoy watching jocks be dumb founded when i knock the wind out of them...they dont expect that from the normaly quiet one....
always love, hate will get you every time!
I grabbed this guy's book bag (he was wearing it) and I pushed it up. It went over his head and he toppled over, his head smashing right into one of the computers. Then, he laughed.
Worst thing? Uhh... it's not really bad, but...
One time, at my friend's sleepover, we trashed everyone while we were asleep. It was me, my friend Janine, and my friend Morgan.
We put ice down everyone's pants and in their shirts, we threw Chex Mix at them while they were asleep, and put some Chex Mix in their ears, noses, and mouths. It was really fun, and whenever we had to laugh, we had to run to the bathroom to laugh, so we wouldn't wake them up. Also, we had to be really quiet, cuz we couldn't wake up my friend's parents, or else they would come down and yell at us.
But, otherwise, it was really fun. One of the best sleepovers ever. Now, we can't have those kinds of sleepovers, cuz no one goes to sleep anymore!! :P
most likely marathoning a show on netflix....
talked him into jumping off a 1-story roof
im gonna stay up all night
My friend and I were riding bikes then this dog chased us and my friends bike chain got loose so I just left him and my friend got bit.
Not giving my friend the respect they deserved. That is the worst thing that i did to my friends. And even now, i really feel bad about it. I took them for granted and i nearly lost them. You need friends in a world like this.
i called my friend a bi*ch and i never thoguth i would do that!! i feel so evil... but she called me that too so she is still mad at me when it's all her fault
Hey watsup animeluvrs out there????????
Yesterday Me and one of my buds were at a bar and he was checking out this girl. She was smokin hot, I thought he didn't deserve a girl that hot. So when he went to the rest room I went over to her table and told her he was gay (he's not really gay).
Yeah, he didn't like me much for the rest of the night.
The old guy
The worst thing I did to a friend was pinned her unsent love letter to a school notice board for the guy she secretly liked to read. It didn't occur to me that the others would read it as well.
It took me five favours, six drinks, an hour's worth of grovelling on my knees, a run around the school building in my underwear, and my favourite jacket to win her forgiveness.
20th Century Boys
Uhm...when I was like 5, I had those big wheel thingys, I can't remember what they were called. Mine was pink and white, anywhoo, I picked it up. [it was pretty heavy considering how small I was] and threw it at her. Mwahahaha.
I can't think of anything that I've done recently for some reason. But I know I did something. My brains just not working.

|Map of Evansville
|Oak View Cemetery
Oak Hill Cemetery located in Evansville, Indiana began in 1853. Located along the curve of the Ohio River, this hilly, rural-style cemetery is made up of 175 acres. Although now located in a thriving section of the city, Oak Hill has retained its quiet, Victorian charm.
|Map of Oak View in 1800's
|Ellen Johnson
The land for the cemetery was originally purchased in 1852 and the first to be buried here was 2-year-old Ellen Johnson on February 18th, 1853. A local paper of the times described the land selection as "a "hillock, a wilderness of underbrush and briars, and called at that with a mantle of loess, underlain by sandstone."
|Mission Revival Gate
The cemetery entrance is located on Virginia Street and the drive up to the Mission Revival gate and brick-walled fence is 365 feet long. Architects William Harris and Clifford Shopbell designed the entrance gate in 1901.
|Craftsman Administration Building
Harris and Shopbell also designed the Craftsman style Administration Building in 1899. It contained an office, waiting room and chapel. The building was remodeled in 1917. It still contains the central bell tower and massive fireplace, with a 3-sided porch surrounding it.
|Oak View Cemetery
|Ginkgo Tree
The cemetery grounds are made up of numerous hills. Most of the landscaping was done between 1853 and 1932 and has grown into a place of beauty and seasonal color. The cemetery is a treasure-trove of trees, many native to the state of Indiana. While pine, maple, willow, and oak abound; it was interesting to see several magnolias, and one of the largest ginkgo trees in the U.S. is located here.
|Cemetery Lake
A large man-made lake is on the grounds, surrounded by mausoleums crafted from marble, limestone and granite. Local architects designed many of the mausoleums and their intricately laced doors. A stone pedestrian walking bridge crosses to a small island where the Mead family (of Mead-Johnson fame) is buried.
|Annie F Johnson
Also buried here is Annie Fellows Johnson, author of the over a dozen of the children's Little Colonel book series. Born May 15, 1863 in Evansville, Johnson wrote for years about her Little Colonel, a "precocious young girl growing up in aristocratic Kentucky prone to bullying and temper tantrums." Over a million of the books were sold at the turn of the century. The series of Little Colonel books inspired a movie by the same name, starring Shirley Temple and Lionel Barrymore.
|Harrison Marker
Records also indicate the King and Queen of a tribe of Romany Gypsies are buried here. Elizabeth Harrison, Queen of the Gypsies, died in November 1895, in either, Massachusetts, Mississippi, or Ohio. Her body was shipped to Oak Hill Cemetery and held in the receiving vault until members of her camp could meet to attend her funeral. Services were finally held on April 1, 1896. Over 6,000 people were on hand for the graveside services, fifty of them Gypsies. It was the largest funeral ever held at the cemetery.
|Gypsies Camp
On Christmas Eve, 1900, Harrison's husband, Isaac was buried beside her. Isaac Harrison, King of the Gypsies, had been killed by a bullet on December 1st, in Alabama, in a fight between his sons.
|Civil War Burial Ground
Oak Hill has a Civil War military cemetery section that includes over 500 Union soldiers and 24 Confederates. Surrounded by heavy chains, with two Civil War cannons, it is a moving tribute to those fallen men.
|Confederate Monument
A Confederate Solider stands at the intersection of two lanes, one that leads to the military section. The statue was erected at the turn of the twentieth century by the Fitzhugh Lee Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy in remembrance of the 24 Confederate soldiers buried on Yankee soil.
|Union Monument
A Union Soldier also stands in Oak View Cemetery as a reminder of the hundreds of local men and boys who died during the Civil War.
|Governor Conrad Baker
Other notables interred here include over a half a dozen U.S. congressmen, along with several Civil War officers and Indiana's 5th Governor, Conrad Baker.
|Autumn in the Cemetery
Assistance on genealogy research is available by contacting Cemetery Superintendent Chris Cooke at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (812) 435-6045.

Oak Hill Cemetery is located at 1400 E. Virginia Street in Evansville, Indiana. Regular office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday the office is open from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. At this time the cemetery has no web or Facebook presence.
Oak Hill continues to fulfill its purpose of being a place of relaxation and contemplation. As first stated in the 1800's, and still true today, Oak Hill is there for those who "become wearied with the sight of human faces, when the noise and bustle of the city grate harshly on the ear, when we feel an inward yearning for some quiet spot where we may rest in seclusion, undisturbed and alone."

Fine Art Stickers: A Back-To-School Staple Goes High-Class
Neither I nor the kids in my life actually need stickers, but that's not going to stop me from buying stickers for them. And maybe swiping a few for myself. With the amazing selection of artists' stickers out there, I can badassify their back-to-school notebooks while feeling like I'm supporting the arts…

I know there are a million great stickers these days, so please tell me about the coolest ones you've seen. These are a few of my favorites:
- Café con Leche is "an itinerant shop (and more) from Mexico City" that boasts an impressive selection of art stickers. There are lots of good ones, but I've picked the ones I want the most. This first set is by Irana Douer, and I love, love, love the pretzel-haired girl.
- Sarah McNeil is a perennial favorite of mine, and this sticker set captures the delicate delight of her more limited-edition work.
- She also sells a plants & animals set through her own shop– those little flowering branches are ridiculously sweet!
- I am by no means a cat-person, but how could anyone resist Ginette Lapalme's absurdly fun kitty stickers from Café con Leche?
- Teva Gallery makes many beautiful vinyl stickers, but the ones that hit me the hardest were the birdsong stickers. The translation of song into pattern and colors is exquisite, seen here with the blue tit sticker.
- I also appreciate the more muted, autumnal pattern of the wren sticker. So lovely.
- Happy sugar beets!- need I say more? This charming set was made by Lil Seamonster.
- Milk Medium's alpaca mermaid stickers are what notebooks were made for. Alpaca mermaids! Merpacas?

Film Review
Hyde Park on Hudson
Whimsically dramatic biopic of FDR asks, "Who's porking the prez?"
Hyde Park on Hudson
Directed by Roger Michell
Cast: Bill Murray, Laura Linney, Olivia Williams
Who among us isn't intrigued by the prospect of a juicy, between-the-sheets look at the scandal-worthy love life of our 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt? If you said, "Ick. I don't want to see that, and I can't imagine anyone who would," then you are not among the cast and crew of Hyde Park on Hudson.
This boutique drama (with faint dustings of comedy) is loosely based on a recently unearthed set of private journals from FDR's close cousin Margaret Suckley, who died in 1991 at the age of 99. The journals seem to imply that Suckley and her presidential cuz had a rather intimate relationship. Though previously unheard-of and still-unproven, Suckley's posthumous, kissin' cousin claims formed the basis of Richard Nelson's 2009 play Hyde Park-on-Hudson. The play has now been turned into a sincere, but sincerely off-kilter movie by British director Roger Michell (Notting Hill).
The biggest gimmick, of course, is seeing funnyman Bill Murray play it straight as the Depression-era commander-in-chief. To his immense credit, he nails the role, giving FDR just the right amount of gravitas, charm, ebullience, frailty and mischievousness. Also, he kinda looks the part, tooth-clenched cigarette holder, upthrust chin and all. Too bad he wasn't given a better script to play around in.
The stagebound story takes place one weekend in 1939 at Roosevelt's family estate, Springwood, in upstate New York. Europe, you'll recall, is on the verge of World War II, and King George VI (the stuttering dude from The King's Speech) and Queen Elizabeth of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman, doing good work) have arrived to talk The Prez into joining the war effort. But that's all just pomp-
Linney, a monumentally good actress, just goes with it. She brings a certain grace to her dowdy spinster character, but isn't given much of a character arc with which to work. Poor Daisy is the ostensive focus here, since the entire story is based on her alleged account of things. Whether she knocked boots with FDR or not, she was a major admirer of the man. As a result, her version comes from a stilted and severely limited viewpoint. True, she was his personal assistant for a time, but there are probably people better suited to tell this historic tale. Olivia Williams (Anna Karenina, "Dollhouse," X-Men: The Last Stand), for example, plays Mrs. Roosevelt—the hottest, youngest version of Eleanor Roosevelt you're likely to see. Unfortunately, we get little of her perspective. She spends most of the movie gazing out through parted curtains, grinding her teeth and tacitly accepting her husband's infidelities.
The whole thing plays out like a randy episode of "Big Brother" enacted by the cast of "Downton Abbey." Mind you, there's nothing wrong with humanizing our heroes, but Hyde Park on Hudson never really gets around to that. It just dusts off some old rumors and paints its protagonist as the old-timey equivalent of a Bill Clinton sketch from "Saturday Night Live." (Don't believe me, check out the hot dog scene.) It's the eve of World War II, for crying out loud, shouldn't we be doing something more constructive than peeping in FDR's bedroom window?

Debut Of 2011 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series Stalled Due To Lack Of Breeze
18 March 2011
Unfortunately, the debut of the much awaited 2011 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series, hosted by the Circolo Canottieri Napoli has been delayed due to lack of breeze.
The Race Committee went into an almost immediate on-land postponement this morning because there was absolutely no breeze to be seen. After waiting for a couple of hours for it to arrive, the fleet comprised of an impressive 22 teams called off all racing for the day.
On Saturday, three races are scheduled in an attempt to make up for Friday's lack of breeze. For the very excited Melges 32 class, the 1030 signal just can't come soon enough.
Be sure to tune into the Official Audi Sailing Series YouTube Channel as video from the course as well as interviews will be featured.

Have you ever had an experience of something not known to or accepted by the scientific community? It is so bizarre to know something is possible that is considered impossible by mainstream sources of information. I'm confident that it will be studied and accepted in the future but due to the stigma of my position I would not disclose the experience to those outside of my closest confidants.*
*In an effort not to seem paranoid, woo, or spiritual, I will disclose that I'm not getting probed by aliens, seeing Bigfoot in my backyard, communing with ley lines, or self-diagnosing "morgellons disease."

That sounds like a pretty standard fight or flight adrenalin situation. Your ability to read the minds of others was just a state of your mind short cutting the decision making process rather than spending time second guessing the potential reactions of others. When those decisions were wrong they were just discarded and new evaluations were made in one shot without second guessing. It only seemed that you were anticipating their every move but in reality you just weren't taking the time to record your errors or doubt yourself
The scientific explanations always come back showing that there is no mind reading going on. The belief that mind reading is going on is a psychological phenomenon based on a number of 'flaws' that help us through stressful events. The primary contributor to that belief is confirmation bias - as I said, you don't take the time to survey your hits and misses and certainly don't have time to pay attention to misses, you simply update a new guess and move forth without a second guess - again because you don't have time to second guess. This leaves you with a series of events wherein you act on impulse after impulse without pause - which statistically is often better than wasting time lamenting errors and double guessing next steps.
Why should we speculate about HOW a phenomenon happens before it's been established that it DOES happen?
Okay, try this. Let's assume that I can turn into a fierce black leopard after sundown (the idea behind the movie Cat People). Explain how that could be.
Now, don't you think that's absurd without some sort of proof that I actually can turn into a leopard?
I was in a car crash a couple of weeks ago, and I experienced the "time slows down" feeling, which I've been trying to rationalise (oddly, no fear involved).
So lets hypothesise. If time actually does 'slow down' for you, then imagine the expressions and body language of someone else gives off say ten points of reference, but normally its so fast that we only pick up on on two or three of those. Now with time seeming slower (adrenaline related) you can actually pick up and process all ten points. Perhaps, equipped with those ten points, you can far better assess the other persons mental processes, giving rise to the feeling of mental communication.
This is a very interesting story. I had the same feeling during a wreck. I was calm enough and had enough "time" to recall advice on how to prepare myself for impact-closing eyes, tucking tongue away from my teeth, and relaxing my muscles. It seemed like I was waiting for time to pass, but it couldn't have been more than 2 seconds. Isn't the body amazing!?
Maybe the only thing there is to it is your heightened awareness, during which each animal interprets behavioral signals from the other. No ESP necessary. As for hit'n'miss, you need to look at the statistical outcomes. If 900 soldiers die on the battle field but 100 survive, remembering all their great instincts, the statistics indicate that such instincts give a 90% failure rate, while the 10% who survived see their own survival as 100% success.
So basically the 900, on dying, think that god deserted them, and maybe he doesn't exist, but the 100 that survive think w00t! Jesus saves!
Guess who we are left with - the 100. Good maths there, Heather (Goddess)
@Belle Rose
Let's assume for the moment you are of the opinion that you can at certain times under stressful situations read the thoughts and emotions of people around you.
I am willing to assume that because it does indeed seem to be the case.
How would you Belle Rose explain the above assumption about someone else? In a scientific manner of course.
If I ask you for a scientific explanation of the Space Monkey I "know" I saw last night, can you provide me with one?
Show me someone who claims to have this power and I'll help them get $1 million if they'll put up their claim to scrutiny by James Randi, :D
Better hurry from what I understand they will be discontinuing that challenge.
Yes, well 50 years of actually taking the time to scrutinize bullshit claims is likely all James Randi has in him. Perhaps, for the next 50 years, people claiming psychic abilities can, instead, offer a million dollars to anyone who will actually believe them, ha ha ha!

Watch the full episode:
When the U.S. troop surge was announced in late 2009, women in Afghanistan knew that the ground was being laid for peace talks with the Taliban. Peace Unveiled follows three women who immediately began to organize to make sure that women's rights don't get traded away in the deal. One is a savvy parliamentarian who participated in writing the Afghan constitution that guarantees equality for women; another, a former midwife who is one of the last women's rights advocates alive in Kandahar; and the third, a young activist who lives in a traditional family in Kabul. Convinced that the Taliban will have demands that jeopardize women's hard-earned gains, they maneuver against formidable odds to have their voices heard in a peace jirga and high peace council. We go behind Kabul's closed doors as the women's case is made to U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer, General David Petraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who promises the women that "peace and justice can't come at the cost of women and women's lives." But will this promise be kept? Narrated by Tilda Swinton.

Ruby turned 1 - to which we celebrated with a few close family & friends - fab time had by all! The highlight was her cake - check this out! A big thanks again to our pal Helen at Aardvark Cakes - it was superb!
So what else have we been up to? The usual play centres, parks, pals houses etc ... in fact we go somewhere or do something every day ..... The new one at the moment from Sally is her shouting at the top of her voice "Mummy is that a man or a lady?" - funny right, but rather embarrasing when she is shouting it at the top of her voice from the back seat of the car, to the dude behind the counter/window at the McDonalds drive thru!
The countdown is still on and is becoming more and more real ........ only 13 more sleeps until our holidays now! Whoohoooo, but my god so much to do .... the usual wash, iron, pack and sort the kids comes into play - as well as me having the pleasure of "trying on my summer gear" ... don't you just HATE that task! I do, as nothing ever looks / feels right .... best get my ass into gear really! Oh I also need to lose that stone or 2 that keeps hovering about!?
Anyway, let me tell you about the MADDEST thing I've heard in a while ..... long story short I was telling a couple of mum's the other day that I'd done a load of washing and I'd accidently washed a pull up at the same time .... As you can imagine what a bloody mess. My friend then told me that she'd heard of somebody who washes baby wipes and reuses them! I kid you not this is the truth - as the lady who does this came forward on twitter and admitted to it ............. I'm speechless to say the least and surely there's no wipe left once it's been washed!?
On a more serious note, Parents 2 Bee are doing really well with the sales of our natural products at Harefield Water Gardens ...... We are thrilled and as a thank you we took Sandra (the owner) a lovely house plant. Only when I'd reflected on my day that night, I did wonder 'is taking a plant to the lady who owns a garden centre a wierd thing to do???!' .... I guess it's like taking sand to the dessert really! Anyway moving on .......................
The sun has been here! At last and how fabulous! The sun makes eveything feel / seem sooooo much better. I really do hope this is the start of our summer - as the rain is just yack. However, today was particularly miserable with us having RAIN all day - but hopefully tomoz is gonna be a scorcher ..... it best had be, as we have a little 'shin dig' planned to celebrate the Jubilee - in a nutshell, booze & BBQ on the front with some neighbours - beltin! Sally is so excited as she just LOVES playing out with all the kids in our road.
Talking of Sally let me give you an insight into some of her latest questions ............ Brace yourselves!
- What flavour are mints?
- Does Winnie the pooh have any brothers or sisters?
- How did you get Ruby out of your tummy? And did she bang her head?
- Do walkers crisps walk?
The list goes on - these are just some of my favourites! I'm sure you all have some questions like this from your little people - please feel free to share them with us.
In the meantime, get your teeth, fingers, eyes and toes crossed that we get some good weather and keep your eyes peeled for Parents 2 Bee, as the time of year is here where we'll be at lots of school gala's and local craft events.
Enjoy the loooooooong bank holiday ............. be rude not to really!
Until next time :))

Have a few cups of coffee and get dressed. Go sit on front porch which needs to be refinished.
Try to dress baby. Watch him undress himself.
Laugh at his funny faces. Try not to pinch his cheeks off.
Watch kids catch bugs. I only help catch lizards, frogs, and snails. No bugs! Those are gross.
Receive flowers from admirers.
Like the bug box? My husband got his last shipment of bees in it and cleaned it out for the boys.
Can you help us find more grasshoppers? (heck no!)
There is a tiny one.
Pretty sweet!

LAS VEGAS -- Sid DeBoer recently stood up in front of a Rotary Club meeting in Medford, Ore., and thanked the man he believes should get a big share of the credit for the current prosperity of his Lithia Motors Inc.
His audience wasn't fully prepared for the name of the person DeBoer wanted to thank -- a controversial figure in the auto dealer world: President Barack Obama.
"I'm thanking Obama. He was the person who made that call" to save Chrysler in 2009, said DeBoer, Lithia's chairman. "It was a roomful of Republicans, and I said there's someone I want to honor."
Lithia -- which owns 24 Chrysler Group stores, more than any other dealership group -- has been on a roll as resurgent Chrysler's sales have soared. Chrysler Group's sales jumped 26 percent in 2011. Lithia's stock price recently hit a 52-week high. DeBoer estimates that Lithia sells more than 1 percent of Chrysler's production. DeBoer said Obama's decision to save Chrysler is a major reason why Lithia will begin building a $17 million headquarters building this spring.
"Seventeen million is being spent on construction because of what this guy said," DeBoer said.
Publicly traded Lithia swept the retailer category at the 12th annual Global Automotive Shareholder Value Awards in January. The awards, developed jointly by Automotive News and PwC, recognize the best shareholder return for automotive manufacturers, suppliers and retailers.
"This was the guy who extended the Bush tax cuts," DeBoer said. "He personally saw to the death of the archenemy of our country [Osama bin Laden]. It took guts not to blink. And he got us out of Iraq. What are you going to say?"
Some dealers are angry that the Obama administration decided to allow General Motors and Chrysler to terminate dealer franchises in 2009, including 789 Chrysler stores.
And DeBoer, a political independent, said he hasn't made up his mind whether he'll support Obama in the next election.
"But he's been a good president for us."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Strong defensive play by both sides that yielded a total of 20 shots resulted in a 0-0 double overtime tie between MIT and Wheaton College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's soccer game on Saturday. The Engineers, currently ranked fifth in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) New England poll, saw their ledger move to 14-1-2 overall and 4-0-1 in conference play. The even finish resulted in the Lyons' (9-4-3, 1-3-1 NEWMAC) third draw of their campaign.
MIT almost opened the scoring in the 18th minute. A shot by Christian Therkelsen was stopped by Wheaton goalie Cole Davidson, but the rebound remained alive in front of the goalmouth. The Engineers' faced an open net, however, their ensuing pursuit was called offsides. Just over a minute later, Wheaton nearly broke through as Ben Resnicow's header off a deep throw-in from Jake Wagner was cleared out at the goal line by Nitin Perumbeti. With four minutes left in the first half, the Lyons made a charge at net that got MIT netminder Tom Caldwell out of position. The open-net opportunity was short-lived as six members of the Cardinal and Gray flooded the box to thwart the scoring attempt.
In the 56th minute, Kevin Chou lobbed a free kick over Wheaton's wall that was punched out by Davidson before Zachary Kabelac could get his head on the ball. The Lyons earned a free kick of their own just outside of the box with 18 minutes remaining in regulation. Yuri Moreira sent a low shot around the wall but MIT's Andrew Bishara blocked the attempt. Less than five minutes later, Wheaton made another dangerous charge at net. Wagner sent a laser to the lower left corner of the net that was stopped by a dive from Caldwell.
The Lyons recorded a slim 8-6 edge in shots through regulation, but the Engineers accounted for all six shots in the extra sessions, including five in the first overtime period. In the 94th minute, MIT received a free kick at the top of the box. Therkelsen' strike curved around the wall but it hit the crossbar as Kabelac's header on the rebound sailed wide. Two minutes later, a shot from Max Stein-Golenbock was blocked by a Wheaton defender. Andrew Bishara corralled the carom but his ensuing attempt went over the crossbar. With 2:05 remaining in the frame, Kabelac saw his one-timer bounce off the cross bar.
In the 103rd minute MIT received the only corner kick of the contest, which was punched away by Davidson. The Lyons' best attempt down the stretch was a cross from Eric Driscoll along the end line that was pushed out of bounds by the wind.
The game was incredibly physical throughout, generating a total of 49 fouls. In net, Caldwell closed the day with four saves for the Engineers while Davidson collected five saves for Wheaton.
Both squads will close out regular season conference play on the road on Saturday, Nov. 1. MIT will travel to Babson College while Wheaton will make the trip to WPI.

"Russell WIlson has the best QBR" ..."Don't give me QBR or any other rating, Russell WIlson disappears in games and Griffin and Luck don't"
What BS. They do disappear in games and they have both had gravy schedules with losses to mediocre teams.
Colts: 5 wins
Chicago Loss 41-21
Minnesota Win at home 23-20
Jacksonville Loss at home 22-17
Green Bay Win at home 30-27
New York Jets Loss 35-9
Cleveland Browns Win at home 17-13
Tennesse Titans Win 19-13
Miami Dolphins Win at home 23-20
Redskins: 3 wins
New Orleans Win 40-32
St Louis Loss 31-28
Cincinnati Loss at home 38-31
Tampa Bay Win 24-22
Atlanta at home loss 24-17
Minnesota at home win 38-26
New York Giants loss 27-23
Pittsburgh loss 27-12
Carolina loss at home 21-13
Seattle: 5 wins
At Arizona Loss 20-16 in a barn burner, no disappearing QB here (18/34 153 yds 1 TD 1 INT0
Home Dallas beatdown 27-7 (15/29 130 yds 2TDs O Int)
Home Green Bay Win 14-12 (10/21 130 yds 2TDS 0 INT)
At St Louis Loss 19-13 (17/25 160yds 0TD 0 INT)
At Carolina Win 16-12 (19/25 1TD 2 INT)
Home New England Win 24-23 (16/27 293 YDs 3 TD) Really disappeared there...
At San Fran Loss 13-6 (9/23 122YDs 0 INT 0 TD drops galore)
At Detroit Loss 28-24 (25/35 236 yds 2TD 1INT)
Home Minnesota Win (16/24 173 Yds 3 TD 0 INT more drops)
I call BS.
The all encompassing bias it becoming pathetic and represents a low level of journalism I have never seen before in my life.
Dallas is in a close game against an unbeaten team, in their dome where they are almost unbeatable, the storyline, "Dallas blundered, Romo sucks, Garrett should be fire, Cowboys lost" "Hire Sean Payton!"
So apparently it was a miracle that Atlanta won.
Redskins lose to the lowly Panthers but RGII was "phenomenal" however Shanahan should be fired because the loss was his fault. Never mind that RGIII pulled a Tarvaris Jackson and ran out of bounds with the ball on 4th and goal. Ummm, throw it to someone in the end zone while you are still capable and pray for a PI.
The Colts win a home game against a gimpy Tannehill who has exactly who for a reciever? Future HOF Reggie Wayne? Oh wait, that's who Luck gets to throw to, along with his college TE. Against a rookie QB, on the road with a less than 59% completion percentage, 5 TDs, 6 INTs. They are only averaging 3.8 ypc on rushing, but hey, at least he has household names like Brian Hartline, Davone Bess and Anthony Fassano to throw to.
But hey, none of that matters, you know why? Because Russell Wilson "disappears in games" I mean, I've never seen him on the field with the defense, so wtf is that about? Horrible QB play!
I want nothing more right now that DangeRuss to win OFROY of the year, just to piss those no account, lazy ass broadcasters off.
GO Hawks!!

DailyDirt: Dangerous Death-Ray Buildings
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Architect Rafael Vinoly has designed a London building that isn't quite finished yet, but sunlight reflected off its curved glass panels focuses on the ground and gets hot enough to melt cars. The skyscraper was previously called the "Walkie Talkie" for its overall shape, but now some folks are referring to it as the "fryscaper" after its death ray problem. [url]
- The shiny stainless steel exterior of the Walt Disney Concert Hall created a nice warm glow for residents across the street when the building was new in 2004. The architects had actually tried to take into account the glare of the building, but during construction some panels were placed at a slightly different angle than were in the plans. [url]
- In 2010, the Vdara hotel in Las Vegas featured its own death ray, magnifying the desert sun onto a swimming pool area where guests weren't pleasantly greeted by temperatures that could cook a steak. This hotel was also designed by architect Rafael Vinoly, so perhaps he should lay off of the parabolic window for a while.... [url]

Does a worker on sick leave have to give notice to carry over untaken leave?
This case is part of a series of UK and European decisions on the issue of holiday and sickness absence and how domestic law (in the form of the Working Time Regulations 1998 ("WTR")) interacts with EU case and legislative law. Now a UK case has come before the Court of Appeal looking at the contentious issue of whether a worker off sick has to request to carry over holiday they cannot take because of sickness, to another leave year – or do they "use it or lose it"?.

After darkness, light
Further reading: John Calvin
Mike Reeves
- Mike Reeves was formerly UCCF's Head of Theology, and is now Theologian-at-Large at Wales Evangelical School of Theology. View all resources by Mike Reeves
Calvin usually surprises his first-time readers with his warmth and accessibility. Few should have trouble in reading and enjoying the Institutes, and that should be where to start. Ford Lewis Battles translation of the 1559 edition (Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1960) is undoubtedly the standard and best: quite apart from the quality of translation, it has excellent footnotes and indices that make it markedly superior to the old nineteenth-century Beveridge translation.
John Dillenbergers anthology John Calvin: Selections from His Writings (New York: Anchor, 1971) provides a good collection of some of Calvins other works.
Readers need to be more careful with biographies and secondary literature on Calvin: there are many that are highly opinionated and biased. François Wendels Calvin: The Origins and Development of his Religious Thought (London: Collins, 1963) is the classic single-volume introduction to the man and his thought.
After that, try anything by T. H. L. Parker, who has written first-rate books on the man, the Institutes, his commentaries and his preaching.
If you start the journey, you should soon find that, like Karl Barth, you could gladly and profitably set yourself down and spend at least some of your life just with Calvin.

Springbok Sevens playmaker Cecil Afrika was on Wednesday confirmed as the latest Laureus South Africa Ambassador, joining the ranks of other illustrious South African sports personalities such as Springboks Bryan Habana and Schalk Burger, Shaun Pollock, Mike Horn, Lucas Radebe and Natalie du Toit.
The announcement was made on earlier today at the tenth anniversary celebrations of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in Newlands, which was attended by various sports, business and media personalities.
Afrika was named the IRB Sevens Player of the Year in 2011 following his many outstanding performances for the Blitzbokke in the HSBC Sevens World Series, where he scored 40 tries and amassed 385 points overall.
He is also an IRB Sevens "Keep Rugby Clean" Ambassador and is one of the most popular players on the World Series circuit. Afrika is currently recovering from a knee injury which has forced him to miss round two of the World Series in Dubai this weekend. Depending on his recovery, Afrika might be considered for selection for the South African leg of the World Series next weekend, the Cell C Nelson Mandela Bay Sevens in Port Elizabeth (8 and 9 December).
Afrika said he was deeply touched by the invitation to be part of the Laureus ambassadorial programme.
"The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation uses the power of sport to make a difference in the lives of many people and I am really honoured to be involved. My participation in sport has allowed me to experience many great things which I normally would only have dreamt about. I am therefore grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to assist Laureus in their many community outreach and development projects."
Springbok rugby legend Morné du Plessis is the chairman of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in South Africa.
The mission of the international Laureus Foundation is to use sport as an instrument to combat some of the world's toughest social challenges facing young people today such as juvenile crime, gangs, HIV/Aids, discrimination, social exclusion, landmines awareness and health problems such as obesity.
Afrika will be playing in the Port Elizabeth leg of the Sevens Tournament on 8 and 9 December at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Tire Dealers, in Maryville, are traders who deal in, manufacture or sell, quality-ensured tires, needed to place over the rim of a wagon wheel to provide traction, resistance to wear, or other desirable properties. Good quality tires reduce road shocks, especially when they consist of a reinforced outer casing.

We began the week last Monday with a meeting with all the school superintendents in the southwest area. Sen. Ron Richard led off with an update of likely legislation for next session. The superintendents were wanting some assurance that there would be increases in funding as promised by the governor. We explained that even when we have increased spending in past years, the governor has withheld those increases for one reason or another.
One area of particular concern for my district is transportation funding. The governor has cut funding for transportation several times in the past few years. While this is not very damaging to school districts with 100 or 200 miles of bus routes daily, it is devastating to McDonald County, Neosho, and Seneca, who travel up to 3,000 miles daily to pick up and return students. Yep, I said 3,000 miles! With fuel, tires, and maintenance costs at all time highs, you can imagine the strain on our school district budgets. I intend to work with superintendents to propose legislation to address this problem. We also had a discussion on the Common Core standards. There is a great deal of confusion about what it is actually designed to do, how that is to be accomplished, and what changes and additions to the initial curriculum are to be implemented. We have been told that there are several senators who intend to withhold funding for the program until we get some straight answers. Sometimes it makes more sense to go slowly with major changes like this.
The Crowder College Foundation held its annual Festival of Wreaths on Tuesday evening. The event was very well attended and there were marvelous things to bid on at the silent and live auctions. Bob Lasswell volunteered his services as auctioneer again this year and did a great job as always. I tried to bid on a 1966 Mustang, but Ross Babbitt wanted it a little more than I did! Vicki will enjoy driving it. The Babbitts also provided a wonderful dinner and as usual, I had two desserts! Jane was bidding on the silent auction and surprised me with a camo office chair. All I need now is a beard like Phil!
Wednesday we drove to Springfield for the annual nursing home legislator lunch. Nursing homes and long term care facilities in the area provide lunch yearly for legislators to thank us for helping them care for those who cannot care for themselves. It was extremely well attended by representatives and senators alike.
Thursday we were at MSSU meeting with interim president Dr. Alan Marble and their board. They had many of the same concerns as did the K-12 administrators. The state has only so many dollars to divvy up and our job is to spend them as wisely as possible. Higher ed institutions around the state have been handcuffed by the governor in that they are not able to raise tuition. No one wants to see the price of an education go up, but it only takes common sense to realize that you cannot continue to provide a high quality product when your costs exceed your revenue.
Only the federal government gets to print money, not our colleges. At noon, I was privileged to attend the Golden Living Center Thanksgiving banquet. Susan Woods and her capable staff did an absolutely remarkable job of preparing and serving a sit down meal to several hundred residents and their families (and one hungry state rep).
We are certainly blessed to have such a great facility in our back yard. The list of sponsors and volunteers participating is way too long to mention, but it sure makes me proud that we live in an area that is so caring!
Lamar, Seneca, and Webb City football teams are all going to represent us at the state football championships next week! Not bad for little old Southwest Missouri.
I've said it many times, but there just isn't anyplace I'd rather live than right here. After church Sunday, Jane and I went to the Dairy Queen in Seneca. There was a family with six children sitting right across from us and all of the children prayed out loud in unison before starting their meal! It just doesn't get any better than that.
More next week, until then I am and remain in your service.

Kenya deputy president excused from ICC trial
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — In an unprecedented decision, judges at the International Criminal Court excused Kenya's deputy president from his crimes against humanity trial Monday for a week so he could return home to help deal with his nation's mall hostage crisis.
At a hastily arranged hearing, Presiding Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji said William Ruto could leave on a morning flight to Kenya. The hearing was quickly halted and Ruto was rushed to the airport.
The hostage crisis that began Saturday at Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall has killed dozens of people. More gunfire erupted Monday at the mall, indicating that the siege was not over even after the military said it rescued "most" of the hostages being held captive by al-Qaida-linked militants.
Ruto is the first such high-ranking politician to go on trial at the court while still in office. Even before his trial started this month, his defense lawyers had asked judges if he could stay in Kenya for much of the trial to attend to his duties as deputy head of state. Trial judges allowed the move, but prosecutors appealed the decision, saying Ruto should be present.
Prosecutors did not object to his returning home Monday.
As he left the court building, Ruto said the crisis underscored his problems attending the whole trial.
"We hope that some people will begin to contextualize what is going on and begin to appreciate the challenges Kenya is going through, the region is going through and the complications that are brought by what is going on here," Ruto told reporters.
Ruto is on trial in The Hague charged with crimes against humanity for allegedly orchestrating violence in the aftermath of Kenya's 2007 presidential election. He has pleaded not guilty.
Eboe-Osuji expressed the court's "deepest sympathy to the victims and their families and friends and all of Kenya in this most difficult time."
Ruto's lawyer, Karim Khan, told the court his client had to be back in Nairobi to help President Uhuru Kenyatta deal with the terror attack.
"The world would have found it intolerable if the president and vice president of the United States were not in the country after 9/11," Khan told judges. "Well, this is Kenya's 9/11."
Judges adjourned Ruto's trial for at least a week to cover his absence. Later this year, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta also goes on trial in The Hague charged with involvement in postelection violence.
Kenyatta's lawyers on Monday filed a motion asking judges to excuse the president from attending all but opening and closing statements in his trial and the final judgment.

Glenna Stone, 38, is a Chestnut Hill interior designer who took an unusual path to her current career as the founder of Glenna Stone Interior Architecture + Design.
Stone's past as an engineer and in the corporate world overseeing national promotion campaigns for Oral B dental products unexpectedly laid the framework for how she would run her own interior design business and apply her brand of interior aesthetics.
After earning a B.S. in industrial engineering from Lehigh University in 1997, Glenna worked for eight years as a consultant and project manager in the consumer products industry. However, she felt the need to embrace her more creative side, influenced by her mother, an art teacher, so in 2005 she left the corporate world and began taking interior design courses at the Boston Architectural College and the Rhode Island School of Design. After much consideration, Glenna decided to combine her technical and creative skills and pursue a graduate degree in interior design.
Glenna then graduated from Drexel University with a Masters degree in Interior Architecture and Design (while going to Drexel, she also worked full-time and taught classes) and in 2010 launched Glenna Stone Interior Architecture + Design. The firm specializes in residential and commercial projects in which Stone often guides her clients through the entire process from start to finish. She has been growing her client list between Philadelphia, New York and New England for the past three years through word of mouth.
"It's not just putting furniture together," Stone said about interior design. "There's a very technical aspect to it."
According to clients John and Tiffany Lee of Chestnut Hill, "Glenna created a cohesive design that included elements of lighting, organization and use of space that we would have certainly overlooked. Her attention to detail and creativity helped fulfill our vision in a way we could not have imagined."
When Stone organized ad campaigns for Oral B and later Gillette, she oversaw many aspects of production from purchasing to design and had to meet deadlines while simultaneously having to address the needs of workers in various departments.
After Stone left the corporate world and before launching her own design firm, she also cut her chops in the design world by working for the internationally recognized award-winning firm Margeurite Rodgers in Philadelphia, which has designed many of the city's most upscale restaurants, in 2009.
Two of Stone's current projects are a restaurant in Bucks County as well as a 3500 square-foot residential addition. She also designed the interior at Eleven North, a restaurant in Martha's Vineyard.
Through relationships Stone has developed over the years, she is able to bring together all the elements required for a large project: contractors, architects and other skilled workers, etc.
In 2007, Glenna moved with her husband to Philadelphia. The change from corporate employment to self-employment freed Stone not from the discipline of hard work but from concerns about overseeing and running campaigns about ads for teeth. She shifted her focus instead to the well-designed space.
Stone, a mother of two children and a dog named Saffron, celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary last month. In October, 2010, the same year she launched her interior architecture and design firm, she was also one of three founders of The Sustainability NEXUS (TSN).
The goal of the TSN is to create an address for sustainability in Philadelphia, according to Stone, also a member of the U.S. Green Building Council. She said there are numerous "green" organizations but that "a lot of these groups are not talking together.
"In my mind design is collaborative. It's not about me putting together the best design as possible. It's about me working with the team to put it together. The space has to work."

|This is the article on chapter 459 of the manga. For chapter 53, head to Sakura's Decision!!. For other uses, see Sakura's Decision!!.
"Sakura's Decision!!" (サクラの決意!!, Sakura no Ketsui!!, Viz: Sakura's Resolve!!) is chapter 459 of the original Naruto manga.
At the Kage Summit, the Fourth Raikage protests Danzō's nomination. Mifune gives his arguments. Ao becomes suspicious and uses his Byakugan. In the Konoha, the members of Team 8, Team 10, and Team Guy decide that Sasuke's recent actions will only drag the village into a war. On behalf of the group, Shikamaru approaches Team 7 with plans to eliminate Sasuke before he can become more of a burden. This, combined with Sai's claims that making Sakura happy causes Naruto more pain than Sasuke does, causes Sakura to agree. Back at the Summit, thanks to his Byakugan, which comes from a defeated member of the Hyūga clan, Ao reveals that Danzō is using his Sharingan, which originally belonged to Shisui Uchiha, to manipulate Mifune. Before Danzō can be questioned about this, Zetsu, on Tobi's order, infiltrates the Summit and tells the Kage that Sasuke is nearby.

We all, I'm sure, have our own little pre-conceived notions about beer, beer drinking and beer quality. There are brewing practices, ingredients, dispense methods that we will trust implicitly or decry the evils of, even if our views are not shared by everyone else. It's all part of the wonderful complexity and diversity of beer and beer culture. Statements beginning "Everybody knows..." are rare among the cultured zythophiles.
I can trace one of my beer scruples to the bottle of Pliny the Elder that Chris brought me a while back. The label stresses, multiple times in multiple ways, that it's a beer for drinking fresh and should in no circumstances be aged. Since the flavour profile is built around fresh hop flavours, that's understandable: it's something I've noticed in dry-hopped beers I've made myself, that after a couple of months the fresh and fruity hops zing starts to fade and, eventually, disappear leaving just the bitterness behind.
So I was a little conflicted when Hardknott Dave gave me a bottle of Infra Red. Like the Granite and Æther Blæc he also generously proffered, the label suggests that it's most likely to keep improving after the best-before is past. But unlike a barley wine or imperial stout, dry-hopped IPAs -- of which Infra Red is one -- depend on the delicate young hop oils to define themselves and give you the proper hop buzz you're after.
So what to do? This is my one bottle and I'm not likely to see another in the foreseeable future. Take the brewer's word for it or trust my instinct? The latter prevailed: Granite and Æther Blæc have been consigned to the darkest corner of the cellar; but Infra Red I drank.
It's a big ol' bugger, easy to pour slowly, leaving the sediment behind and giving a lovely clear dark amber body topped by a healthy layer of froth which lasts all the way to the end. And I could smell the dry hops at arm's length. On first sip the heavy body fools you into thinking this is going to be a malt-driven beer, but instead of a toffee follow-up there's a smack of those fresh and zingy grapefruit hop flavours. It's very brief, though, and the aftertaste is altogether more firmly bitter in a way I'd associate with English hops more than American. It lasts for ages too, thanks to the tongue-coating texture, and doesn't turn harsh as it fades. Maybe a teensy bit metallic, but I think that's just something to which I'm especially sensitive.
Did I make the right decision? Yes, I think so. This beer is definitely robust enough to survive a long time in storage, and it will undoubtedly change radically during this. But that brief flash of fresh hops will vanish and I wouldn't be at all sure it'll be replaced by anything as tasty.
My recommendation on Infra Red is drink 'em if you got 'em. Anyone who likes their beer big and bitter should be all over this. Trust me on that.

Flower crowns. Bun pins. Turbans. Headscarves. Jewel headbands. Hair accessories are everywhere this summer. But leave it to Kelly Osbourne to introduce us to a type of hair adornment we hadn't even considered: The fashion risk-taker swapped her bobby pins for safety pins.
Courtesy Kelly Osbourne
Osbourne's stylist Ryan Randall transformed her lavender shaved mohawk into a messy multi-braided style, connecting the plaits with silver safety pins of various sizes at the Cadillac and Refinery29 launch party in L.A.
"Love it or hate it, @kellyosbourne is always willing to take a risk, and owns it. Love this #braided #punk look we did tonight for the @refinery29 event. You are the ultimate collaborator, and a daily inspiration Kelly!," Randall captioned the below photo on Instagram.
While Osbourne had Randall's help creating her new do, it was definitely her brainchild.
"It was a mix between something I found from a book from Blitz Kids and something from Teddy Girls, which is a form of south Rockabilly in the 1950s in England," Osbourne explained to People at Montblanc's The 24 Hour Plays benefiting Urban Arts Partnership. "I think that's the best way that I can describe my sense of style."
But don't expect her to rock it through summer. "No!" she said, laughing at the idea. "The only thing I'll keep is the color purple."
From '90s punk to '60s style, Kaley Cuoco channeled Twiggy wearing her pixie swept heavily to one side and adding a dramatic cat eye to the look. Cuoco has said that her new cut helps her bring "out my inner Peter Pan," and she's been experimenting with it a lot.
And lastly, Katy Perry (another big risk-taker) pulled two beauty bold beauty moves — bleached eyebrows and crazy slicked back, center parted hair, featuring green braided pigtail buns and flyaways gelled on her forehead. Sure, the look was for a performance, but Perry always finds ways to one-up herself.
Would you try any of these bold beauty looks? Which is your favorite? What do you think of safety pins as a hair accessory? Share your thoughts below!
