I am home from my holiday and thought I should do a quick update on whats going on with me. My holiday was amazing but I feel like I left in the middle of summer and have come home to winter it is that cold. I'm not moaning though because the next few months are always my favourite as I have so many exciting things to look forward to.
It is my 21st birthday in a few weeks so that is very exciting and I'm sure I will be keeping you all updated with all the lovely things that I will be doing. I am also starting back at university at the end of the month which will mean lots more work but I get to see some of my best friends again who I haven't seen all summer. Then it is Halloween which I know some people think isn't a real holiday but I love it and always get dressed up and go to a party so maybe I will do a post on Halloween costume ideas. I'm going to Las Vegas in November to celebrate both mine and my boyfriends 21st birthdays which I cannot wait for. We have been waiting over a year for it now and I just know it is going to be an amazing trip which we will always remember. Then finally it will be Christmas! Christmas is my favourite time of the year, not just Christmas day but the whole of December really. I am the kind of person who starts Christmas shopping in October and listening to Christmas songs in November. I drive all my friends and family mad but I don't care because it is the best time of the year.
So there you have it, I have just wrapped up the rest of the year in a paragraph. I have so many ideas for new posts over the next few months but as always if you have any requests just let me know and I'm sure I can do those for you as well. There will be a Nail Varnish of the Week next Monday and then it will be back to normal again which I am looking forward to as there will be a lot more autumnal colours coming in now. Oh and if any of you are from Las Vegas or have visited please let me know if there is anything you recommend doing whilst we are out there. We're going for 5 days so hopefully we will get a lot done. I think that is all the updating that needed doing. Look out for lots of new posts in the next few weeks and don't forget to follow so I can get to know you all, it makes my day when I get a new follower.
Have a great day girls

Reflection on Today's Daily Readings by Fr. Bertrand Buby, SM
Today's Readings
Scripture: July 22, Lectionary 398. Jeremiah 2:1-3,7-8, 12-13. Psalm
36:6-7,8-9, 10-11. Matthew 13:10-17:
Both testaments– the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures and the New
Testament make use of the great symbols and metaphors that religious
thought utilizes. These literary images and examples help us to get to the
heart of the revelatory message that God gives us in his loving-kindness
and mercy. They are also paths toward developing our spiritual journeys
through meditation and prayer based on them. Today's readings lead us to
think about life-giving streams of water and the senses of sight and sound
(eyes and ears) which lead us to what Jesus says in symbolic language
through is parables. We should take the parables and not be confused by
them. Rather enjoy them as the commercials Jesus gives us for his saving
and joyous gifts to us. We just have to open them!
The image of living water is present at the end of the scriptural reading
from Jeremiah and it is one of the most beautiful metaphors in the Bible
that help us to reflect on the need for God in our life as the source of
our dry tongues and mouths. The Psalm will back up what Jeremiah says and
even at the end lead us to what Jesus will use in his metaphorical language
and its application for living our life in union with him as his disciples.
Jeremiah warns us against leaving aside the living waters of God's love,
inspiration, and joy. God is the source of these living waters which
should prevent us from being warn out cisterns, cracked vessels, or dry
pieces of potshard from broken vases. They only hold water while God's
streams of life-giving waters flow freely and in abundance but we have to
kneel down and quench our thirst from them. Not easy for older folks!
Psalm 36 has a few verses that complement Jeremiah's imagery of the living
waters. Verses 10-11 contain the same imagery: "For with Thee is the
fountain of life; In Thy light do we see light. O continue Thy
loving-kindness unto them that know Thee; And thy righteousness to the
upright in heart." The Psalm verse leads us from life-giving waters into
the light seen by our eyes in the words of Jesus at the end of the Gospel
for today.
Jesus wants us to see the light and to hear his living voice. "But blest
are your eyes because they see and blest are your ears because they hear."
O Lord, we need to drink of your life-giving waters and to see with the
eyes of faith the light and beauty of your face. We long to hear your
words of comfort and love. Help us to be aware of you this day and to enjoy
the gift of water–even bottled water! and the gift of our vision so often
glued to our computers. Amen.

Zoya Azhar '20
Assistant Opinions Editor
Though only France's veil ban has received a great deal of attention from social media and news outlets, in actuality most of Europe has enacted some form of this ban. Countries such as Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Denmark and Switzerland have put some sort of veil or hijab ban in place.
Now China also has a veil ban in place. The order was passed by the Xinjiang People's Congress and it is not clear what other items of clothing have been outlawed by the order. The measure will start being enforced this week and is apparently a 'crack-down' response to religious extremism in Xinjiang. In addition, there is also a ban on 'abnormal' beards and 'extremist signs,' though there is no explanation (further than that it encourages 'religious fanaticism') of what an 'abnormal' beard is. The authorities justify the action by saying that it is necessary to crack-down because religious extremism is threatening the Xinjiang's stability as well as national security. It is important to mention that Xinjiang is home to 10 million Uighurs (a Muslim group) who complain about being discriminated against by the Han Chinese, and the state borders Kazakhastan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The state has had a recent violent history, which has been thought to be caused by tensions between the Uighurs and the Han Chinese.
In the context of Chinese political ideology – one of authoritarianism and currently commandeered by the Communist Party – the measures against 'radical Islam' or religious presence in general, in China, may not seem so out of place. The Communist Party is officially atheistic and has a ban on openly religious individuals joining its ranks. Unlike the European nations mentioned earlier, China has also carried out what can be termed 'repressive acts' against other religions, such as Christianity. In 2015, a church elder was sentenced to five years' deprivation of political rights for supposedly using Christianity to subvert state power. In the Henan province, Catholic and Protestant churches were being pushed into conforming to socialist ideals and church members were arrested, in addition to church crosses being demolished for 'beautification' reasons.
That being said, whether or not the action is in line with a country's political beliefs and history, it is encroaching on a basic right to practice whichever religion an individual chooses to, however they choose to. This action specifically targets Muslims, which makes it part of a larger global narrative, where countries and groups are limiting a group's religious freedom in the name of maintaining national or regional security. It is hard to believe this is the only response a governing body thinks to put in place, as if they have exhausted all other possible measures which could be useful without limiting basic freedoms. In addition, once must question whether politicians or groups put such measures in place after gaining a thorough understanding of the problem, or just because they recognize Islamic religious expression as being 'other' – something that must be got rid of simply because it sticks out, and so appears threatening, in a majority non-Muslim area.

Weekly Monday Gear Review: Black Diamond OZ Carabiner
I'm a huge fan of the Oz carabiner by Black Diamond because of its light weight. Using a full rack of these carabiners saves my load a few pounds. I have had trouble with other lightweight carabiners in the past due to my hand size. The Oz carabiner is perfect for my large hands and gives me peace of mind while serving its function impeccably.
Yours truly,

Wedding for two in Italy
When talking about wedding, it is important to organize this event taking into account the wishes of two loving people. Having this done, this ensures that you will have only pleasant memories of the happiest day of your life. Someone dreams of a magnificent wedding ceremony, with all family members, friends and colleagues. For such purposes, in Italy, you can rent a villa or a luxurious banquet hall that can accommodate hundreds of guests.
But there is a completely different wedding format–with the bride and groomonly. For this purpose, therearemany options for couples who do not want an extra pre-wedding bustle and excessive attention of strangers. Wedding in Italy for two can be the most romantic, happy and exciting moment in life.
Wedding on the shore of the azure sea
Wedding for two in Italy can be held on the shore of the warm sea. Alternatively, it can be on a deserted beach with golden sand and turquoise water, where the sound of the waves and the sea breeze will add a romantic atmosphere to the intimate wedding celebration. This can be a symbolic ceremony or an official marriage. In the first case, there is no marriage registration, but the couple may say loving words to each other, exchange rings and perform other wedding rituals. The hotel can be booked in advance, which will be decorated with rose petals and candles. Usually, champagne and sweets are also brought in the room. This atmosphere will allow celebrating an unforgettable wedding night! For such a wedding, you may choose the island of Sicily and Sardinia, the town of Ravello, Rimini and other resorts of the country.
Romantic city
Lovers of narrow streets, wide squares and grand cathedrals can courageously choose a cozy town for the wedding ceremony. Instead, Venice can be chosen, includinga gondola ride. Many couples choose to hold the ceremony right in the boat, which, of course, becomes an exclusively memorable event.
Wedding for two in Italy can also be celebrated in major cities like Milan, Rome. It's so easy to find a cozy restaurant and celebrate this festive event in a pleasant atmosphere, as well as to enjoy the stay in this lovely warm country. In any city in Italy you will find wonderful places for video and photography, a lot of entertainment, such as riding in a carriage with horses, and comfortable hotel rooms for newlyweds.
How to organize a wedding ceremony for two
Wedding for two in Italy can be arranged with the efforts of the "ItalianWedding" agency's consultants. All our consultants have international certificates obtained in the best schools of wedding planners. In drawing up the holiday program takes into account all the couple's wishes. Consultants love their work and firmly believe that marriage is one of the most important events in life, so it should pass at the highest level!
The "ItalianWedding" agency's prices are quite affordable. For a rough calculation, we suggest using the online calculator or filling in the online questionnaire.

All around the world people are creating amazing places to dwell. Somewhere out there, these places exist. I love that people are taking risks. These images are just a few that fascinate me. We no longer have to live in rectangular boxes, and why should we. We are so much more creative and complex than a square, unless its a lovely square of course.

Whatever crazy idea you have, don't be afraid to make it fly. Living in a space that is a reflection of who you are is not only energizing, but also totally awesome. Right now, I'd love to blow up some of my photography into giant canvases. Creating my own art would be so fun, and a way to get some of these wonderful pics off our computer and into our lives. Don't you think?
Happy Friday all you creative folk. And if you're not feeling creative. Get to it! xo

Get the word out.SAFE in Northern Michigan -- SAFE (a coalition of area agencies, schools, and individuals) exists to promote community awareness of youth substance abuse and participation in prevention. Projects include The Napkin Project, providing napkins with a substance-abuse-free message to school concession stands, and the Sheriff's Mailing, letters to all junior and senior students' parents during the prom and graduation season with information on Social Host laws and ways to have a safe party.

The Coalition also sponsors substance abuse free dances. With multiple prevention projects a year, SAFE has lots of important tasks, like chaperoning dances, "ticketing" cars at Homecoming games, and making connections with local schools.

Here is a simple St. Patrick's Day "recipe" (term used lightly!) that your kids will love- Rainbow Jello!
I am not a huge Jello-O fan, but my kids love it, so these rainbow Jell-O treats are a hit! And you can't beat the cost, right? The small packages are around a dollar a box and I was able to get about 10 small glasses of rainbow Jell-O! Such a fun and cheap snack!
These treats are really easy to make, but if you're trying to make these in the morning for an after school snack like I was, you really have to plan your day around Jell-O! It takes less than 5 minutes to boil, mix and pour each color, so really the longest part is just waiting in between each layer for it to set – which takes about an hour in the fridge.
Rainbow Jello Treats
- boxes of Jell-O in a variety of colors/flavors
- whipped cream
- sprinkles
- clear plastic cups
- Follow the directions on the first box of Jell-O. I used the "quicker method" the box refers to, using ice to speed up the process.
- Pour a small amount of the liquid into a cup and refrigerate until set completely.
- Continue with the next color – mix it, then add a small amount on top of your first color.
- Refrigerate until set, then mix the next color until you have all your colorful layers. Just be sure to mix one color at a time and let it set completely before you add the next color on top!
- Once all your layers are looking pretty, add some whipped cream and sprinkles!

|I have a once beautiful Helliconia plant that was beautiful growing happily in a pot on my front porch, but it got really cold and now it's
leaves are all curled up and brown. I trimmed off the old blooms that had died. Should I trim down all the leaves that are curled up and
turning brown? I brought it in the house to keep it warmer and set it where it can get sunlight. Will it recover, or has the cold weather
killed it? What can I do to help it heal? Please advise.
Nov 7, 2013 12:16 PM CST
|Hi Misty, to ATP
As you probably know this is native to the tropical Americas. My advise would be to remove all of the dead leaves, and cut the flower stalks all the way back to the soil. It's hard to say if the cold killed it. A lot would depend on how cold it got, and duration of time that it was out in the cold. Hope for the best.
Try to keep us posted, and good luck.
Again, and check out all the forums! You'll find a lot of great people and valuable information.
Nov 7, 2013 2:26 PM CST
|@Misty what zone are you in? Knowing that may have some bearing on the answer. I'll be reading along with you because I just got my first Helliconia in the spring...
Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith"
Nov 7, 2013 2:27 PM CST
|It all depends on whether there is still life in the corms. The foliage above the ground is not that important. I would dig them up to ascertain whether they are alive.
Nov 8, 2013 11:02 AM CST
|Thank you for your responses. I am in Tennessee, not sure what zone that would be. I loved this plant, it reminded me of the Bird of Paradise that my Grandmother used to have when I was a child. I would have brought it in the house sooner, but did not expect it to get so cold overnight.
There is still some green to the plant leaves and I put some Miracle grow on it to try to help it heal. I've never had a plant like this before. In the summer it was so humid here, it thrived and grew so beautifully. Feel so sad that it has withered and looks so sad. I will try trimming it again.
Will keep you posted....thank you again for your advise.
Nov 9, 2013 9:45 PM CST
|It's a really tropical plant that can't take cold at all. However, Hetty is right that it is the corms that matter so as long as the soil didn't get too cold it should regrow once the soil is warm. Most heliconia need a lot of sun as well as warmth so put it in a sunny window inside and see if it grows some new shoots.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.

From Tibet
by Dom Moraes
For me my dark words are
Quickened by your bright hair,
But I have come too far
To a strange country where
Tree-fingers point towards
Darkness, and I lack words.
The yaks like clumbs of wool
Stump through red poison-flowers,
So red, so beautiful,
A dream rieses and towers
Beyond me, till I stand,
You hand warm in my hand.
But I must ride with Das,
A small man quick with hope
Toward the invaded slope,
Cloud-fastened, ice-ribbed, where
A few hawks shriek and stare.
I shall keep warm above
The valleys hazed and far
For these days I find love
In oem, wind and star,
Wiser than I am wise,
You have lent me your eyes.
Today the rare pale sun
Appears, and the mules snort,
Das writes his press report --
We have seen no Chinese.
No fighting has begun.
The hawks sleep in the trees.
I have seen enough
Of this valley and this death.
I would not waste my breath
Mourning, but be a hawk
Who would take wing far off
Before the approaching dark.
Like cinders the red flowers
Brush fire across my sleeve.
I shall remount and leave
Taking no backward look,
And then collect these hours
In a travel book.
My book will tell the truth
But it will not be true,
Till I return to you,
My truth, my miracle.
While I keep my old faith
In you, I shall write well.
My page will be of stone
Where the bright water scrawls
The truth of Time, which falls
From times when, you not there,
I would recall, alone,
The colour of your hair.

hi everyone! just wanted to ask how can i connect my kf900 mobile to my wi-fi? bcoz i actually turn on the wi-fi then i found my internet connection then all of a sudden when i connect it, it always says failed to connect? could someone help me? thanks...
sejo, 02 Nov 2009hi can enybody tell me what is quality of the picture whej you take picture,beacouse when i ma... moremy pictures come out very clear and nice.
maybe you should try changing your settings or cleaning off the lens?
hi can enybody tell me what is quality of the picture whej you take picture,beacouse when i make a picture it looks like its made with 1 megapixsel camera and not with 5 megapixsel
lol .. yes its true
it turns off & on once every few months
and the picture for screen savers suck
because you cant change them...
sso your stuck with the same background..
its a good phone for its name
but unless u can get the prada for under 300$ , then its not worth buying.. considering I payed 500$
Pradagirl, 08 Jun 2009it plays both of them and you can download apps...just not as many as the iphone. any java fil... morehi, can you please tell how to add games to a kf900 phone. everygame i downloaded comes with 2 files, a .jar file wich is above 77km and a .jad file wich are all 1kb. pleasee help
im wanting to get dis phone...and after all these comments it makes me think...should i get da phone or not... :{.... but then again...i say...wat the hell....get the phone...and if u dnt lyk it...get to...and if u do...have fun!! :)
lols, funny, but hmm, i guess they will have to update their firmware asap. Also, am looking into a medium priced phone...what phone would you recommend...either touch screen or slide qwerty. =/ ....sorry if its irrelevant ahah.
ray lu, yes it does have past season prada couture as screensavers. some are nice but some kinda creeps me out. my phone has switched off on its own a few times in recent months but hasn't happened recently.
other things maybe u'd like to know.. sometimes, i accidentally call someone else when i'm using the phone. this never happened with my previous lg prada KE850. i think this is cos the lock button can be unlocked from the screen itself. that's handy yes but not so handy in this situation.
another thing i don't really like is the T9 dictionary for texting. the previous lg prada had better T9 ie easier to use. which is why i mostly just use the qwerty but this leads to another problem.. when someone calls me when i'm using the qwerty and i answer, that person can hear me but i can't. i gotta go ask lg to check my phone..
last thing i'm quite annoyed about is.. the silver paint on my side keys are peeling off and my phone isn't a year old yet! the paint on the prada name on my previous lg prada kinda peeled but well in the second year of usage.. so i didn't really mind.. cos it was time for a new phone anyways. the prada name is still perfect in this one, just the side keys.
Everyone at my school had this phone, so I had to get it. I lovelove it. :D
I think this phone is really nyc and ive heard every thing about it but does n e 1 knoe if it has msn and bebo on it and if it is free ?? ...xx
I've read so much that the kf900 resets itself lol? Any confirms? Also it's rumored to have a bunch of prada clothes and stuff like that as screensavers and wall paper! Please confirm or disagree :) ...I've had an eye on this phone for so long ahah

Vir, 01 Oct 2009Owned the phone for (almost) a year now or to put it the other way, owned it the month it was ... moreThis phone sucks your a muppet Its the worst phone Iv ever owned!!! Ill be coming on to my 3rd one in less than a year shortly.... But hopefully they wont make me take it.... or even another LG this has put a sickner on LG for me...
TO sum it up it breaks all the time major software issues basicly its SCRAPPP!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Owned the phone for (almost) a year now or to put it the other way, owned it the month it was released! Had no problems what-so-ever.
It allows seven applications/multitasking simultaneously as per the user guide/manual, and from what I noticed there is a chance of restarting thereafter. This is what Ppl complain abt the phone being restarted; well it's only happend with me 10-15 times now in a year after learning that in the user's guide. It really depends on how you play with the phone. Yes, the ideal thing should be a firmware for upgrade to fix this bug, but the phone has the best specs out there in the market. Very few phones have this capability.
They offer you more proprietory software than other phones in the market. Its really integrated and works cohesive. There is a end-user learning curve and adaptation. You feel the likes of it when you know how to use it and handle with care.
This is one of the best phones I have owned. Compare the technical specs (G-sensor, multi-touch, DIVX software, flash technology, TV-out, i can go on...) just to begin with (don't forget the hardware specs such as LCD display, keyboard, video call and more) and you will adore it.
Only disadvantages I can think of is no gps, and proprietory web browser is basic.
other than the brand Prada stands up.
this is the worst phone i ever owned throughout the past 10yrs.
merely 2 weeks after i bought this phone, it gave me problems. this is a faulty phone. It switches off by itself. i sent to LG office for repair & it took me 3 weeks to get back the phone. yet a week after the repair, the same problems props up again. now i dont even bother to send back for the repair as i believe the company is unable to solve this problem.
at first i was even thinking of getting the Crystal but now, i decided this shall be my one & only, first & last, LG phone.
oh ya, regarding the screensavers, yes ugly, yet unable to remove or hide it.
Anonymous, 18 Jul 2009its a beautiful phone but it just broke after 2 months good thing i got warrantee sometimes ... moreThe same thing happened to mine, it's just frozen on the prada screen and i've tried everything to make it work again, including taking out the battery. PLEASE HELP if you know how to fix it!
Anonymous, 09 Sep 2009I had the phone since the day it hit the market and love it. I just peeled off the protective... morehey thanks for your great comments on the prada 2 i want to buy one but i would like to know if it's volume is great and if it have and cons?
I had the phone since the day it hit the market and love it. I just peeled off the protective film on the screen last week and it looks even better.
I send lots of sms' and emails. I had to manually set the carrier setting but it works great. My unit sometimes resets itself but it's no big deal. Happens maybe once or twice a month.
I would be happier if it came with better email app. What you get is a pretty simple email app (nothing fancy) but newer LG phones had it better. I also don't like the fact that my installed apps (Gmail, etc..) doesn't use wifi and only use 3G. Kinda silly eating into my kbs when I'm sitting in my office or home where I have plenty of wifi connections.
Other than that I have been loving it. It really feels nice to hold and there are few other phones that get as much attention as this one.

New Haven firefighters responded to two separate fires around the same time on Wednesday, then were called to a gas leak.
The first fire was at 594 George St. The multifamily building was destroyed and 10 people were displaced.
"It's a very smoky fire; a very hot fire," New Haven Fire Chief Michael Grant said.
As firefighters were working on extinguishing that fire, they were called to another fire on Whalley Avenue. The fire was nearly extinguished as of 3:30 p.m.
Then, there was a gas leak in the East End of the city.
Because resources were so stretch, surrounding towns provided mutual to cover the fire departments and the New Haven fire department called in off-duty firefighters.

Kevin Youkilis wearing pinstripes.
There's something about that image that doesn't quite look right. There's no reason to be surprised by a player making the jump from Boston to New York -- not after Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and Johnny Damon -- but it does take a little more sheen off a rivalry that's been losing its luster at a rapid rate in recent years.
A clean-shaven Youkilis hearing "Youk" chants at Yankee Stadium will definitely take some getting used to, although it might be easier than figuring out exactly what the Yankees will gain from going this route. Youkilis is better than what they had on hand to play third with Alex Rodriguez out for an indefinite chunk of the season so the Yankees are a better team today, but this might not have been the best use of their resources.
Youkilis hasn't played more than 122 games in any of the last three years, his offensive production has dropped off dramatically in each of the last two years and he's not a good defensive player at third base. He still hits lefties very well, but he barely made an impression against righties last year which still leaves the Yankees in need of help on that front offensively.
We do look forward to seeing Youkilis work counts, a skill that's been in decline with the Yankees in recent years, and some rebound from last year is likely now that he'll be in a more pleasant situation than the dumpster fire he left behind in Boston. He hit better once he was traded to Chicago and Joe Girardi can use some names for the lineup card, but the overall picture remains the same.
It's another older player showing signs of wear and decline for a team that already has plenty in that department. Brian Cashman obviously feels that using such players on one-year deals to augment the ones already there on long-term deals is the way to do it in New York. And the Yankees do keep making the playoffs.
It doesn't do much for the identity of the team, though. A bunch of aging mercenaries flowing through the clubhouse every year, renewing the idea that you're just rooting for the uniform just as much as seeing all those Red Sox defectors in pinstripes.
That's distancing, especially when the mortality of the team's core players becomes more and more clear with every passing injury. The Yankees could have 12-15 roster spots to fill for 2014 and it takes a good bit of wishing to see them filled by the kind of promising young players who can create a new core for the team.
It's not building so much as maintaining. And there comes a point where you can only slap so much more duct tape on before the whole thing falls apart. The Yankees are banking that this isn't the year that happens.

Who will Joba Chamberlain throw at now?
Every week during the season, we'll scout out the Giants' next opponent. This week, that opponent is the Atlanta Falcons.
When last we saw the Atlanta Falcons in these parts, they were limping off the field after a humiliating 24-2 beatdown at the hands of the Giants in the playoffs.
The loss did more than just end their season. It cemented a narrative that's been growing around the team for the last several years.
Atlanta has never had a better run than they've had in the five years that Mike Smith has been the coach and Matt Ryan has been the quarterback, but they continually run into a wall when the stakes are the highest. Three playoff losses in three playoff visits, poor performances in all three of those games and a sense that they don't have whatever intangible your favorite pundit uses to challenge the fortitude of a team.
Such theorists got another arrow for their quiver on Sunday when the Falcons were manhandled by a 4-8 Panthers team that they beat earlier in the season. Winning 11 of your first 12 doesn't mean much if you can't win when the big ones and Sunday brings the Falcons another chance to show they can win against a rival for the throne.
If they do, they'll take a big step toward home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs and an even bigger one toward convincing people that they have what it takes to win a Super Bowl. It's a moment every good team reaches at some point, even if the precise "it" every team needs seems to only be known to sports radio hosts in hindsight.
Should the Falcons lose, those doubts will rise even higher because this is the perfect situation to finally go out and show they are more than just the product of a forgiving schedule. Here's a few of the people who will be trying to help them avoid that fate.
Three Amigos - There aren't many receiving trios in the same class as the one the Falcons deploy with Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez and they've finally allowed them to dictate the pace of the offense this year. It's pick your poison for defenses that don't hurry Ryan into mistakes.
Speaking of Hurrying Ryan - Matty Ice is ice cold right now and his struggles make Eli Manning's post-bye blues seem like a pretty big overreaction. Those receivers aren't going to throw themselves the ball, so Atlanta needs their guy to get right.
Ageless Wonder - It seems like 20 years ago that the Jets moved on from John Abraham and started looking for his replacement as a pass rusher. It was only 2005, though, and the Jets are still looking while Abraham's still dropping quarterbacks in bunches.
Turner No Longer a Burner - The Falcons offense sometimes reminds you of the Giants' offense the last two years whenever they'd try to run the ball with Brandon Jacobs. Michael Turner's not fast enough nor nimble enough to continue as a feature back in the NFL, which makes it all the better for a Giants team that can't stop the run.

It looked like an ordinary three-story house in Hartford, but when workers recently began renovating the Imlay Street property they quickly discovered a long-lost 19th century historic jewel.
"It was basically a vinyl-sided three-story house, nothing much to look at," said Ken Johnson, the executive director of the Northside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance, which is sponsoring the renovation.
On the outside of the home, shadow lines are visible where ornate window crowns, brackets, and moldings once were. "The shadow lines of what was clearly a grand house here in Hartford," said Johnson.
Next, workers uncovered an actual window crown dating back to the 1870's that was hidden above the ceiling of a porch addition.
Then, inside the home workers found even more treasures buried in the walls, including a flag with 48 stars, a boot, a receipt from the Brown-Thomson Department Store, and a wedding invitation from 1878 with a reception to follow at an "Island Home" in Windsor Locks.
"It was kind of digging for treasure really. It was like, 'Oh, I wonder what this is? I wonder what this is?'" said Ramon Martinez, one of the ServCorps workers who discovered those finds while working on the home. "It's all interesting information, really gives you a lot more history about the house."
Before any of the treasures were discovered, it was thought that the house was modern and likely built in the 1940's or 1950's. Because of that, it was even carved out of the neighborhood's designated historic district, according to NINA.
Now, they've determined that it was actually built back in 1875 by Porter Whiton who also remodeled the Old State House for use as Hartford's former City Hall, according to NINA.
"It was part of the original Nook Farm subdivision, the same subdivision that produced the Mark Twain House, Harriet Beecher Stowe House, so we knew we had something pretty special here," said Johnson.
Now, with funding from nearby Aetna, the house is being restored to its former glory, a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath single family home full of history.
"It's been amazing. We've never seen anything like this," said Johnson.
Renovations are expected to wrap up at the site next year and NINA plans to sell the home at that point.
They're hoping the new owner will display those relics inside.
Today is 12/12/12 and it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The superstitious among us might see these numbers as lucky, but, Wednesday was lucky for a different reason for two new parents at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford.
Sean Eichner is the first baby born on Dec. 12, 2012 in Connecticut, according to St. Francis Hospital.
"I really was hoping he would come before the 12th, but he held out," said mom Allison.
She was induced on Monday because Sean was supposed to show up a week ago.
"He just took a while to come here. He was really determined to come here on December 12," Allison said.
And now that he's here, the 7 pound, 6 ounce, 21-inch baby boy seems to revel in the spotlight.
"I think it was all a big publicity stunt on the part of him and his mother," said Priscilla Doolittle, his maternal grandmother.
Baby Sean almost made it "dozens wild."
He was born at 12:14 a.m. Two minutes earlier and he would have been born at 12:12 a.m.
As you might expect, a healthy baby boy, and not his birthday, was the only concern the Eichners had for their first child.
"We didn't even think about it in all honesty," Sean's dad, Daniel, said.
But while mom and dad don't buy into all the numerical hype, they said there are some benefits to their new son's unique birthday.
"It's just a cool date as far as I am concerned. Easy to remember too," said Allison.
While Sean is the first Dec. 12, 2012 baby, he is not the only one.
Savanna Jeanine Gauvin was born less than five hours later, at 4:56 a.m.
Two people were shot during a home invasion in the west end of Hartford late Monday night and police are looking for the shooter.
Police responded to 1060 Capitol Avenue around 10:45 p.m. and found one man shot in the chest and another man shot in the leg.
Police said the shooter broke in, ran up to the second floor and started shooting. One victim was shot twice and the other once. Whether they were the intended targets is not clear.
Both victims were rushed to a local hospital. There is no word on their conditions.
Children were in the building when the shooting happened, but they were not hurt.
Police said the motive for the home invasion and shooting is not clear,
Almost a week after police officers and the city of New Haven reached an agreement ending a temporary injunction involving promotion exams, scores from a recent New Haven police sergeant's exam have been released.
They were released after a Civil Service Commission meeting on Tuesday, according to the New Haven Independent.
Derek Gartner scored highest on the October test, according to results posted online here.
According to the Independent, the approval of the October 2012 results was unanimous and police commissioners will meet with those who scored highest to determine whom to promote.
The spotlight was recently placed on police promotion exams when a group of 10 African-American New Haven police officers announced they were suing, claiming they were passed over for promotion because of their race.
Attorney John Williams, who is representing the group of 10 officers, said the city only held the results of the 2009 test for one year instead of the normal two. That means the officers who passed were only eligible for promotions one year after the test.
He said his case is eerily similar to the Ricci vs. New Haven case where 20 white firefighters sued New Haven and won in the U.S. Supreme Court because the city threw out the results of a promotions exam that city leaders felt wasn't fair to African-American firefighters.
Results of a promotion exam have been released.
A weather pattern change is starting to show up in our extended weather models as we look ahead to next week and beyond.
We have had a prolonged stretch of mostly dry and milder than normal weather that is conjuring up thoughts of last year's winter without a winter. But, the latest information shows a somewhat dramatic shift to storminess and colder temperatures.
For the first time in a while, the jet stream will dip along the eastern seaboard and induce low pressure to form. Since we are streaming toward the winter solstice on Dec. 21, there is more cold air available around us, and if the two can work in concert, the possibility of snow increases.
Right now, both the European and American forecast model suites show two good chances for precipitation. The first looks minor, but the timing is crucial as it might impact the Monday morning commute.
I'm looking for a mix of rain and snow to overspread the area on Sunday, lasting into the day on Monday.
Timing and track is still subject to change. The second has the potential to be much more significant, but because it is farther into the future, the specifics are nearly impossible to nail down. Right now there is the chance of a stronger coastal storm moving up from the south on Tuesday into Wednesday, or possible later into Thursday, with wind, rain or snow, and a higher impact to our day to day activities.
We will have more on this later this week.

Firefighters responded to a basement fire at a church at 119 Park Road in West Hartford on Wednesday morning.
The fire was in a church, the Igreja Evangelica.
It started when someone was cleaning a machine in the basement with gasoline, one of the pastors said.
Fire crews said sprinklers put out the fire.
The man who cleaning the machine was not burned badly.
The medical examiner has ruled the death of a 13-month-old baby boy in Wallingford an accident.
Caleb Riley died of asphyxia and body compression.
Caleb and his mother, Kathryn McCormack, 27, were found unresponsive inside 102 High Street on Friday afternoon and paramedics pronounced them dead at the scene.
McCormack was found on the floor of her basement on top of her infant son, police said.
Investigators said they found illegal narcotics and narcotic paraphernalia near the bodies.
The cause of McCormack's death has not been determined. It is pending further study.
McCormack's fiancé and Caleb's father found his family unreponsive on Friday afternoon and made a franntic call to to 911, police said.
The family will receive family and friends at the Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 N. Main St. Ext., on Thursday, Dec. 13, from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m.

Police responded to a pedestrian struck by a car Wednesday afternoon
Internet entrepreneur John McAfee – wanted for questioning by Belizean officials in the slaying of an American expatriate – told reporters in South Beach Wednesday night that he will speak with police in Belize if they come to the U.S.
"If they want to come here and talk to me, I'd be more than happy to talk to them, yes," he said outside the Beacon Hotel, where he is staying.
McAfee posted a message on his blog at 1:15 a.m. Thursday asking the media to respect his privacy. He also had dinner in South Beach before returning to the hotel around 2:30 a.m.
Miami International Airport spokesman Greg Chin said the American Airlines commercial jet carrying McAfee landed shortly before 7 p.m. Wednesday.
McAfee confirmed that he was taken off the plane before everyone else.
"They stopped the airplane before it reached the gate. They had everybody sit down and then they said 'Is John McAfee on the plane, please come forward,'" said the 67-year-old creator of the McAfee antivirus program. "And there were a whole bunch of officers. I thought, gee, this is continuing. And they said, 'Well, we're here to help you sir, please come with us.' And they whisked me away from you people."
McAfee was released from detention in Guatemala earlier in the day, the Department of Immigration in Guatemala told NBC News.
He said he had no choice about coming to Miami.
"I said, sir, I had no choice. They put me on an airplane. I am here," he said.
As McAfee was escorted by Guatemalan immigration officials to the Guatemala City airport, he said, "I'm free. I'm going to America."
Chin said that McAfee would not exit from Immigration and Customs to the public area of the airport. "His exit will be handled post-security by federal authorities," Chin said.
Nestor Yglesias, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations in Miami, said he did not know about any special procedures in place for McAfee's arrival.
McAfee went on the run last month after Belizean officials tried to question him about Gregory Viant Faull, who was shot to death in early November.
McAfee acknowledges that his dogs were bothersome and that Faull had complained about them, but denies killing Faull.
Faull's home was a couple of houses down from McAfee's compound in Ambergris Caye, off Belize's Caribbean coast.
McAfee said in South Beach that he's "not worried at all" about being extradited to Belize.
"If I'm in front of a court, there's nothing in the world they will do to send me back. They have no evidence, I have tons of evidence about the corruption, the harassment, beginning with the attack on my property in April," he said. "I mean, of course I'm not worried. I'd be happy to go in front of a judge – just not one in Belize."
McAfee had been detained last week for immigration violations after he sneaked into Guatemala from neighboring Belize. But Wednesday, Guatemalan immigration service spokesman Fernando Lucero said McAfee was being expelled from the country.
"McAfee entered the country illegally," Lucero said. "Guatemala is expelling him. Since his country of origin is the United States, Guatemala is expelling him to the United States."
As McAfee was expelled from the country, he told Bloomberg Television in a phone exchange that he was "perfectly happy with the decision."
Belizean authorities had been urging McAfee to show up for questioning in the killing, but have not lodged any formal charges against him.
McAfee said he feared he would be killed if he turned himself in to Belizean authorities. In the interview with Bloomberg on Wednesday, McAfee said he has offered to talk to the police "numerous times on the phone."
But "it's not an issue of talking about a murder," he said. "It's an issue of putting their hands on my person."
McAfee's escort to the Guatemala City airport marked the latest chapter for McAfee's strange, monthlong odyssey to avoid police questioning about the killing.
In one of the most highly publicized flights from police questioning since O.J. Simpson led police on televised low-speed car chase, McAfee constantly blogged and spoke with reporters about his life on the lam.
Bystanders in Guatemala City stopped to stare at the passing police convoy, and people at the airport massed around the immigration truck carrying McAfee, straining to take pictures of him with their cell phones.
McAfee suggested his weeklong detention in Guatemala for entering the country clandestinely had taken its toll on him.
"All I can tell you is I'm 10 years older, and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just going to Miami," he said.
His 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend who has accompanied him since he went on the run was not with him on the ride to the airport. She was last seen early Wednesday leaving the detention facility crying, after bringing McAfee breakfast.
The British-born McAfee has led an eccentric life since he sold his stake in the software company named after him in the early 1990s and moved to Belize about three years ago to lower his taxes.
He told The New York Times in 2009 that he had lost all but $4 million of his $100 million fortune in the U.S. financial crisis. However, a story on the Gizmodo website quoted him as describing that claim as "not very accurate at all."
McAfee is an acknowledged practical joker who has dabbled in yoga, ultra-light aircraft and the production of herbal medications.
On Sunday he said he yearned to be in the United States and "settle down to whatever normal life" he can.
"I simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years," he said.
But on Wednesday night, he said he doesn't have a plan for what's next.
"I'm here, I'm hungry, I plan to eat. That's basically it," McAfee said, adding a moment later, "If you've ever tasted Guatemalan jail food, it's not very nice, and I'd like some sushi."

John McAfee spoke with reporters at the Beacon Hotel in South Beach Wednesday night.
A nephew of the pedestrian who was struck by a school bus on Clark Street in New Britain and later died said more needs to be done to prevent pedestrian deaths in the city.
Police said Charles Mercurio, 81, was crossing Clark Street on Wednesday morning when he was struck by a Dattco bus.
The victim's nephew, Michael Mercurio, described his uncle as a "very loving, caring guy."
He said he can't understand how his uncle was struck by a school bus since he remembers him being very cautious while crossing the street.
"He (would say), 'don't cross yet. Watch the light,'" Michael Mercurio said.
Investigators said the school bus that struck the elderly man was carrying three students from New Britain Alternative High School. None of the students, nor the driver, was hurt.
Charles Mercurio was in critical condition when he was taken to the hospital, but didn't survive.
"Just hearing about his death ... it's shocking," said Michael Mercurio.
Those who live near the site of the accident are also upset by the death.
"I can't imagine how an 81-year-old guy died, just by crossing the street. That's really sad," said Bishmel Campbell.
Meantime, Michael Mercurio said more needs to be done to make sure that, unlike his uncle, pedestrians aren't killed while crossing the street.
"I think they should put cameras on the intersections, and (police) could see what's going on," he said.
The Dattco bus company released a statement saying it's cooperating with police in the investigation. At this point, it's unknown whether the driver will be charged.
A student is facing charges after bringing a BB gun to school Wednesday afternoon, according to state police.
School officials say a 13 year-old student claimed to have a handgun in his locker.
Troopers responded to the Pomfret Community School at 20 Pomfret Street and found an unloaded BB gun.
The school issued a message to parents, notifying them of the incident.
The student was released to his parents and will appear in Juvenile court.
Students and faculty were allowed to leave a California university just before midnight Wednesday, hours after California State University, Fullerton was put on a modified lockdown prompted by two men fleeing onto the campus, wanted in connection with an armed robbery that sparked two separate high-speed pursuits.
Three men were taken into custody earlier Wednesday following separate car chases apparently started after a violent heist at a Southern California pawn shop. At least one man remained at large late Wednesday.
At 11 p.m., the university tweeted this notice: "Police are beginning to clear building occupants. Please remain in place until directed by Police or audio announcement."
Shortly before midnight, the university tweeted this: "Cal State Fullerton Important Message. All buildings are now clear and occupants are free to leave."

The complicated situation developed after five men wearing ski masks robbed at pawn shop in Moreno Valley at about 3 p.m., shooting an employee of the store. California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call describing the suspect vehicle and pursued it to Fullerton.
At 3:47 p.m., the pursuit ended after the car exited the Orange (57) Freeway and stopped after it was involved in a minor collision in front of the university campus, Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said during a quickly called news conference about 5
Nearly 10,000 students were at the university preparing for next week's finals when two men fled onto campus, where one was immediately taken into custody. The other man fled into Mihaylo Hall, a 200,000-square-foot building, Stuart said.
The three other man fled southbound from campus. One was taken into custody, and another carjacked a vehicle and led authorities on a high-speed chase that ended with his arrest in Watts. The third man from that group remained at large, Stuart said.
SWAT team members were searching the area, he said. A perimeter had been set up to search for the suspect who had fled into the city streets of Fullerton, where it began to rain about 6 p.m.
"We had a large number of students were able to flee the building where the suspect ran into. They've been evacuated from the campus. Those students and staff members that are still on campus are in what's called a shelter in place," Stuart said. "Our goal is to go around and rescue those individuals . as we do our search. This is going to be an all-night operation."
He later added, "It's a huge campus, so it's a very daunting task."
Three buildings on campus were on modified lockdown, where students were told to shelter in place, Stuart said. A student in one of the locked-down buildings said he witnessed officers checking every classroom.
"A cop came running through and he said, 'They have guns, they have guns,'" said another witness, Shant Fermanian. "So all these people started rushing so me and my cousin, we looked up, and we just got out of there as soon we can. We had no idea what was going on."
Fermanian said he saw a man, who was later taken into custody, run around a nearby building but did not see any weapons.
Christine Accetta, locked down in McCarthy Hall, tweeted a photo about 6:30 p.m., pictured below, of a barricade students created inside a classroom. Four hours later, Accetta tweeted: "We have been released!"
Another student, Raquel Mireles, said the university had been regularly in touch with students via text message with updates on the developing situation.
"They're just trying ... to keep us safe," Mireles said, who said she was in College Park. "They're being really helpful. The cops have come through and told us to stay calm."
She said the blinds had been closed in the classroom she was in, and chairs had been placed in front of the door.
"The lights are off. We're kind of just all huddled together right now," Mireles said.
While she talked on air to NBC4, a loudspeaker announcement told her to evacuate the building.
The five men allegedly robbed a pawn shop in Moreno Valley in the 24500 block of Sunnymead Boulevard (map) around 3 p.m. Authorities there said the men wore ski masks and used handguns.
An employee at the store was shot; he was in stable condition, according to Riverside County Sheriff's Department Deputy Albert Martinez. He said it remains unclear what, if anything, was stolen from the store.
After the sheriff's department put out a description of the getaway vehicle in Moreno Valley, CHP officers spotted the car and a pursuit began.
Just after the pursuit ended in Fullerton, one of the men car-jacked another vehicle, prompting a second chase, which wound through freeways and surface streets. The driver blew through several stop signs and red lights in residential areas of Compton.
The man abandoned his stolen car in Watts and ran through a crowded area before surrendering -- spread eagle, as shown at right -- on a baseball field at Imperial Courts Recreation Center at 2250 E. 114th St. (map).
The recreation center is surrounded by Imperial Courts, a nearly 500-unit public housing project, and was hosting a toy drive held by the Los Angeles Police Department.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck was among those in attendance and immediately began chasing the man as he headed toward the baseball diamond, away from dozens of police officers gathered at the park.
That driver was taken into custody.

Officers from North County SWAT team walking through the campus of California State University, Fullerton, where a search was on Wednesday night for a man thought to have hidden in a classroom building after a robbery and two related car chases.
A three-vehicle crash slowed the commute on Interstate 84 Eastbound before exit 27 in Cheshire on Thursday morning.
State police said Morris Felder, of Woodbourne, New York, slid into the back of a car driven by Kevin Fellon, 43, of Torrington, just after 6:30 a.m., causing Fellon's car to spin into the center lane.
Felder's car continued to slide and hit the back of the car driven by Christopher Montalvo, 25, of Waterbury, police said.
The impact spun Montalvo's car around, blocking the right shoulder and Felder's car continued to skid and hit the median, according to police.
Montalvo's passenger, Ileana Borreo, 22, of Waterbury, complained of possible injuries and was transported to the hospital. No one else was hurt.
All three cars were towed from the scene.
A driver was killed in Fairfield on Wednesday night after hitting a tractor-trailer parked in the shoulder of the entrance ramp to a rest area, according to state police.
This is the second fatal crash in the last two weeks in which a passenger car from the highway hit a tractor-trailer parked in a rest area in Fairfield.
Police said Joseph Pierson, 40, of Stamford, crossed from the center lane of Interstate 95 onto the entrance ramp for the southbound rest area near exit 21 just before 10 p.m. and hit the back of a tractor-trailer that was parked in a no-parking area.
Then he hit the driver's side of a car that was traveling on the ramp to the rest area, police said.
When firefighters arrived, they found Pierson deceased in the Nissan Sentra.
The truck driver, Joseph Eutsey, 39, of Middletown, New York, told police he had parked the truck so he could take a break in the sleeper section of the vehicle, according to the police release.
Eutsey and the other driver who were hit were not injured, according to police.
On Dec. 1, a tractor-trailer driver sleeping in the truck in the rest area on the northbound side of the highway was killed when a Toyota Corolla lost control while exiting Interstate 95 in Fairfield, rolled over and went into the right shoulder, striking the truck, according to officials.
State police are investigating both crashes.

Residents of Berlin do not want an indoor shooting range in their backyards, close to a community that is home to many children and a daycare center.
Residents said they are less worried about what is happening inside the facility on the Berlin Turnpike than what could happen if a firearm discharges in the lot.
"People are going to be manipulating their weapons in the parking lot, discharging them," said Alex Dulaym, whose Scarborough Fare home would be a mere 60 feet from the firing range if all goes as planned.
Dulay said the indoor facility is a cold range.
In other words, range goers would have to clear or discharge their firearms before going in. The proposal would add this in connection to an existing gun shop, BMG Guns and Ammo, on Berlin Turnpike. It currently doesn't have a gun range for people to practice.
He has prepared a DVD detailing the damage different types of guns would do and said it proves that any stray bullet fired in the parking lot of the shooting range would go right through his home and many homes around him.
"That's the biggest danger -- the parking lot," Dulay said. "Not what happens inside."
Dulay said he received a notice from the Berlin Planning and Zoning Commission about a week and a half ago that they'd be putting a gun range behind his house. He doesn't feel it was enough notice.
"I'm not opposed to guns, to people owning guns," Dulay said. "But what I am opposed to is people bringing guns into a highly populated area."
Samantha Dumin, who works at Creative Kids Daycare Center, right across the turnpike from the proposed range, said she isn't against gun ranges in general but has other thoughts on this facility.
"It might not be all that safe for the kids, especially if they're outside and they hear stuff," Dumin said.
There will be a vote Thursday at 7 p.m. inside the council chambers at Town Hall.
The meeting is open to the public.
Creative Kids Daycare is close to the site of a proposed gun range.

I just had to point you to this lovely and incredibly helpful post by Eye Shadow master Christine from Temptalia. Anyone who has an interest can find something helpful there. I particularly like her tips on blending (I know I need a lot of help in this area).
Also, one I can personally relate to, is the one about taking pictures. You can see so much better what you're doing wrong when it's zoomed in like crazy.
While you're there, check out some of Christine's awesome eye shadow looks. She's insanely good and always has great combo ideas.
