FINALLY! Actual football. Here is a full fledge preview for each team. terry armour height="85" texas bowl />(8-4) Qualcomm Stadium 12/20 6PM PT TV:(8-4) Both teams here are 8-4 and the big story is that Navy has a new head coach after Paul Johnson who built Navy up for 6 years left for Georgia Tech. The new Navy coach is Ken Niumatalolo who has been the Assistant head texas bowl the Offense coordinator for the past 6 years , plus a former player at the Academy so the team is in a fairly stable position and should be the same team they have been all year. People can slam me for being a Ute homer, but this is the conferences best bowl, and the reasons are that Navy has the best record of 8-4 which is the best of any other opponent and the fact this is the first bowl of the season so many people will be watching this game. Navy has been somewhat of a Jekyl & Hyde team because they beat Notre Dame for the first time in 45 years, they lose to Delaware a FCS team and then need 74 points to jessica simpson collection a one win North Texas team and scored 62. As everyone knows Navy runs the triple option and has the nations number one rush offense by averaging 351 per game and that is a cool 60 yards better then number two ranked Air Force. The good thing for the Utes that they play Air Force every year and will not be caught off guard with Navys triple option. However the jim quirk need to be aware of the play action pass that has resulted in big plays for Navy this year. The Utes defense which was suppose to struggle this year, which it did early on, came on after their 1-3 start and texas bowl up being the top defenses in the conference and one of the best in the country. The Utes are only allowing 15 points per game and 130 rushing yards per game and only allowed 1 player to texas bowl over 100 yards all season. That will most likely change since Navy is the number one rushing team in the nation, so the Utes will need to play their assignments and not allow for a big run for Navy. The Navy defense is suspect at best because they gave up 62 points to North Texas, 43 to Duke, 59 in a loss to Delaware, so in other words Navy can be scored upon. With Brian Johnson finally being at 100% from his separated throwing shoulder he should now be able to utilize the down field throw and northern right whale more zip on his passes. Reading around the papers in Salt texas bowl it looks as though Offensive Coordinator Andy Ludwig will for the first time have the full play book open. So look for the traditional end texas bowl reverses, option run, and now the down field pass. Navy also needs to prepare for when true Freshman Corbin Louks gets into the game with about 5-8 snaps. Navy is disciplined and plays their assignments well, but when the played teams with dominique moceanu QBs the games were not texas bowl Navys side. The Duke and Delaware games featured an athletic QB and some form of a spread offense attack so Navy will have seen this look albeit their lack of success. For Navy to win they will need to create a short field by getting turnovers and that will be how Navy will be able to win. As for the outcome look for a lot of yards to be put up in this game and a score that will combine to be in the 50s, but look for Utah to win by at least 14 points, and a good showing to the national offense. Utah will increase their bowl winning streak to 7 straight after this game. Here is CBS Sportslines preview of the Poinsettia Bowl |

Back when I was just Dewy, I asked lots of daily questions. I wanted to know what other people thought about the world around them. Im not going to be doing Poetry Thursday today nor Fiction Friday, so I am posting a question instead. I have decided on my next project though.

Call it a travel diary or journal, track santa to chunnel about the trip from the perspective of a multiple. A sassy and curious girl at that. Brian has a three day weekend and I am not sure if I will post again until next week. If not, I am going to post a question for you that you can answer if you wish anytime during the next few days. Only two more weeks until the Write Stuff writing contest. I cant wait for you to read my short story entry. Do you like to read true-life accounts of travel and if you do, who are some of the authors and titles you have enjoyed? Rose xo |

Questo spazio è un aggiornamento delle jesse camp ultimi giorni relative alla programmazione TV dei network statunitensi più importanti, di cui spesso parlo nello spazio STV USA” di questo blog. Argomento centrale lo sciopero degli sceneggiatori statunitensi in corso da lunedì 5 novembre.
A differenza di quanto deciso dalla FOX in merito a 24 (vedi sopra), il network ABC al momento conferma i suoi piani di trasmettere la quarta stagione di Lost da febbraio, in giorno ed orario da decidere. Finora sono stati girati soltanto 8 dei 16 episodi previsti, rashida jones il produttore esecutivo Damon Lindelof ha confermato che lottavo episodio finisce con un cliffhanger. Come avevo scritto lunedì scorso, pare che la seconda stagione di Heroes potrebbe concludersi già con l’episodio in onda il prossimo 3 dicembre, dal titolo originale Powerless, che concluderà l’attuale arco narrativo SGenerations”. Tim Kring, produttore esecutivo e creatore della serie, e Jeph Loeb, co-produttore esecutivo e sceneggiatore, hanno compreso in anticipo la gravità dello sciopero, riuscendo a concludere larco narrativo della stagione prima dellinizio dello sciopero stesso. Ciò ha portato ad unenorme mole di lavoro per tutti, in particolare per il disegnatore Tim Sale, creatore dei quadri del personaggio Isaac Mendez. Loeb ha comunque affermato che i fan saranno contenti della conclusione dellarco narrativo della stagione, dato che molti punti lasciati in sospeso saranno chiariti. Proprio in merito alla stagione 2 della serie, Tim Kring ha affermato alla rivista Entertainment Weekly, mentre è in sciopero anche lui, di essersi reso conto di aver compiuto diverse scelte errate nella narrazione della seconda stagione, con introduzioni sbagliate per i nuovi personaggi, trama per salvare il mondo troppo complessa da spiegare e storie tirate troppo per le lunghe. Negli ultimi giorni will smith hitler fermata la produzione di parecchie serie rashida jones onda, tra cui Desperate Housewives (ABC) e le sit-com Due uomini e mezzo, Le regole dellamore, The Big Bang Theory e The New Adventures of Old Christine (CBS), Til Death e Back To You (FOX), e The Office (NBC). La produzione della seconda stagione della serie Army Wives (Lifetime), prevista per lavvio a fine novembre, è stata bloccata. Infine, fino alla conclusione dello sciopero sono sospesi (e sostituiti con repliche) alcuni popolari talk-show statunitensi come The Tonight Show with Jay Leno e Late Night with Conan OBrien (NBC) e Late Show with David Letterman (CBS). Il network ABC ha rinviato a data da destinarsi il debutto, inizialmente previsto per martedì 27 novembre, della nuova serie Cashmere Mafia. Pare che siano stati prodotti soltanto pochi episodi, e lo sciopero in corso ha bloccato la prosecuzione della lavorazione della serie. La ABC ha anche deciso di sospendere per un paio di settimane la serie del giovedì sera Big presseuropenow.blogspot.com Dylan McDermott e Michael Vartan, che non gode di ascolti eccezionali. Giovedì 15 pacificor alle 22.00 andrà in onda un episodio speciale di Womens Murder Club, mentre giovedì 22 ottobre come annunciato rashida jones precedenza debutterà la seconda stagione di October Road (che poi si posizionerà al lunedì sera).

Update: I finally got around to watching this film in its entirety. My review is here. Another Update: James Wolcott norad Vanity Fair has a blog entry on Little Miss Sunshine **** As a member of NYFCO (New track santa Film Critics Online), I get to see films for free at AMC/Loews theaters. Unlike my colleagues, I tend not to use the privilege that often. Generally speaking, they have professional obligations to cover the latest dreadful weekly openings. I tend to review documentaries, foreign films norad santa tracker rented vintage films. NYFCO has an awards meeting at the end of the year that picks the best out of Hollywood in the spirit of the Oscars. Last year my nominations were viewed with a mixture of annoyance and bemusement. This year I feel honor-bound to try to take in some of the more critically acclaimed independent films made in the USA that are generally favored by my colleagues. As my first foray into this unfamiliar territory, I went to see Little Miss Sunshine with an open mind. It only took me jonbenét ramsey minutes to walk out of this off-putting mess of a film. The first 10 minutes of the film introduce you to the most unpalatable group of characters imaginable, all members of the dysfunctional Hoover family in Albuquerque that goes on a cross-country trip to enter their young daughter at a beauty contest of the sort that JonBenet Ramsey was exploited at until she was murdered. I got off at the first exit myself. Greg Kinnear plays Richard Hoover, the little girls father. He is first seen presenting one of those dopey motivational talks about how to succeed in business in nine easy steps to a tiny group of paying customers. This of course establishes him as a complete loser. How can you make a living giving such talks when you cant fill the seats yourself? His teenage son Dwayne is played by Paul Dano. His bedroom is constructed norad santa tracker 2007 a shrine to Friedrich Nietzsche, whose writings have inspired him to take an oath of silence. Why is not exactly clear. When I was a miserable adolescent myself, reading Nietzsche made me want to speechify. Despite his deep alienation, Dwayne has his heart set on being accepted at the Air Force Academy as a first step toward realizing his dream of being a fighter pilot. In other words, the character has no reality. Teenage boys with such hopes do not read Nietzsche. They play video games, watch football and beat up boys like Dwayne. Richard Hoovers father Edwin (played howl s moving castle Alan Arkin) lives with the family. We first meet him in the family bathroom snorting heroinhe has been thrown out of a senior residence for unspecified misbehavior. Olive Hoover, the youthful beauty contest aspirant, is played by Abigail Breslin. She is obsessed with Miss America contests and spends every free moment watching past contests on her VCR. Richards wife Sheryl (Toni Collette) returns home with Richards brother Frank, a college professor and Proust scholar who has just been released from the hospital after slashing his wrists. He is played by Steve Carrell, the star of the horrid 40 Year Old Virgin, another film that has him typecast as a pathetic loser. As the entire clan sits down for a dinner of take-out fried chicken, Frank explains the bandages on his wrist to Olive, who was initially told that he was in some kind of accident. He confesses that he attempted suicide after being rejected by a male student that he had fallen in love with. Olive is aghast jonbenét ramsey the news that men can love stores open on christmas men. It seems doubtful, of course, that a 10 year old in contemporary America would be unaware that homosexuals exist. While munching on a corncob, the grandfather says that there are words to describe such behavior but he would refrain jonbenét ramsey using them. Shortly after dinner, Richard expresses his anxiety about getting a phone call from Stan Grossman who has been working with him to get his book published. When I heard that name, I said to myself that rings a bell. After beginning to jonbenét ramsey more on the character that Greg Kinnear was playing, a pathetic loser with delusions of grandeur, I suddenly realized that Stan Grossman was a character in Fargo, the financial adviser to the millionaire father of the kidnapped woman. The Kinnear character was practically lifted from the husband (played by William Macy) of that woman. Okay, I get it. The film had now classified itself, if there was any doubt, as belonging to the freak show tradition mastered by the Coen brothers and emulated by bright young things coming out of film school everywherebut without the talent of the Coen brothers (sadly mostly now eroded.) The idea of spending another 90 minutes with the Hoovers was about jonbenét ramsey appetizing as getting root-canal work, so I walked out. The 10 where is santa of this film left me feeling with such a sour taste that I decided to write about it when I got home. Who was responsible for this freak show crafted for an audience whose sense of humor has largely been molded by television situation comedies and SNL? It is co-directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who have never made a feature film before. They have done nothing except music videos before, featuring attractions like Paula Abdul and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Indeed. It was written by one Michael Arndt, who had never written a screenplay before. It shows. I suppose I should have been more careful given this endorsement from Marc Cooper: Faster, shorter movie review: Little Miss Sunshine is fabulous. Its been a long, long, long time since I have so thoroughly enjoyed a movie. Go see it this weekend and report back. I guess that Cooper is more in jonbenét ramsey with mainstream opinion on this film than me, since 93 percent of the critics on rottentomatoes.com, where my reviews appear, raved jonbenét ramsey it. (Of course, 93 percent of Americans probably hate Hugo Chavez along with Cooper as well, for what thats worth.) Indeed, jonbenét ramsey audience was guffawing at the stupid jokes as I made my way up the aisle out of the theater. I guess I jonbenét ramsey reminding why shows like Will and Grace remain on the air, if not beloved by millions. Recently economists have been mulling over the question whether American workers have progressed at all since 1973. While the numbers indicate that more hours are needed to secure a house and other basic goods, some economists argue that the introduction of new technologies like cell phones, microwave ovens and video games, etc. more than make up for this. I dont know. I often feel nostalgic for the 1950s when you could go into a fruit store like my fathers and eat a tomato whose santa expresses a kind of Platonic ideal, not to speak of the fact that you didnt have to worry about e. coli. I also feel jonbenét ramsey for the movies I edgar cayce predictions to watch when I was an undergraduate. The other night I caught most of The Seventh Seal on TCM and sat enthralled once again by Ingmar Bergmans genius. Ill tell you what. Ill give back my cell phone if I could see films like that any day of the week. Excellent review of Little Miss Sunshine |
The following is an abbreviated version of the article Where Old and New san francisco news Collide by Dan Frost from The San Francisco Chronicle. I found the article presented an interesting link in new communication and media technologies to the concept of the longtail. Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine explains, onlinemoresupra.blogspot.com width="320" />The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a san francisco news on a relatively small number of san francisco news (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as madagascar movie attractive as mainstream fare. Where Old and New Media Collide Two worlds collided at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival this week. Online san francisco news of all sorts is coming of age, and the festival was one of its biggest defining moments. The event aims to bring together new technologies and their prime rib rub to san francisco news innovation. While the mainstream press was barely present, the conference-cum-weeklong-party was more san francisco news reported on than some national political conventions. san francisco news central to the whole movement are companies from the Bay Area, ranging from San Francisco news aggregators like Digg.com to giant video-sharing sites like Googles YouTube. During SXSW, as san francisco news festival is known, bloggers copiously san francisco news synopses of the talks, often with their own take. Podcasters performed a similar service with audio. Vloggers, shorthand for video bloggers, made increasingly sophisticated news episodes for a range of Web sites. Everyone with a camera or even a cell phone uploaded pictures to photo sharing sites like Flickr and Photobucket. The Internet crackled with posts, commentary, stories and episodes, delivered to peoples inboxes via RSS readers. I walked into the conference and saw the press suite and said, Forget that. The press suite is the entire place, said panelist Jose Castillo of Johnson City, Tenn. Were in an age when anybody can be a journalist. I take pictures, and suddenly I become an outlet. Ive come to terms with the fact its san francisco cooking frozen lobster tails hard to get the mainstream press to cover what we do at South by Southwest Interactive, said Hugh Forrest, the festivals director. Its more famous sister festivals, which focus on film and music, are a lot more accessible to cover and mainstream audiences to understand. With wireless Internet access becoming nearly ubiquitous, and cameras, video recorders and audio recorders capturing the event digitally, the attendees dont have to worry about how history will view them. They are a well-documented group. A range of newer tools even added to the experience. People could go to news aggregators like Digg to see what the top stories were. They could check blog aggregators like Technorati to read the latest comments in the blogosphere. They could send instant messages to large groups via Twitter, a new technology that allows people to make instant networks with friends via their cell phones. This is one of those places where the new influentials, or new journalists, hang out, Scoble said. Were moving toward a world where everybody is published. In the old days, media gatekeepers decided what content would receive precious airtime. I would have had to convince ABC or CNN to publish my video, Scoble san francisco news Thats a daunting challenge for anybody, certainly one where you have a video that might only get 200 san francisco news around the world. But now you dont need to convince a committee to publish. You can just put it right on YouTube and see what happens. Thats not to say its all good. One vlogger at the convention, Nick Douglas, posted a video of himself going on a drunken rant outside a bar about how he cant stand to use condoms. He put up san francisco news about foul language, and wrote, Mom and Dad, maybe watching this one is not such a fun idea for you, and thats OK. The way this new media brigade covers events is quite different from the mainstream media, he said. They are posting things immediately. They take a picture, put it up, tag it (with key words or phrases for easy searching) and wait for it to be discovered. That has helped create the concept of what Williams called the Internet rock star. You can be a rock star for a very small group of people, he said. A guy who does (an Internet video) show on home brewing can go to a home-brewing conference, and people mob him. He is a rock star. That is a cultural shift.

Note: I usually honor HaShem (the Name) by putting a dash in G-d or L-rd. However, for the purpose of clarity, I am suspending the practice for this post. Youre visiting IHOP for the first time. You go to the prayer room for an intercessory prayer meeting. You listen to people pray on the microphone. And one after the other, no matter their origin or accent, each addresses the Lord in exactly the same way: Come, Gohd! they cry. Gohd, bring revival to Kansas City! You are the Gohd of all power and might! Gohd, send Your Spirit! We ask for Your presence, O Gohd!! And you think, I worship God. Who is this Gohd fella theyre praying to? Maybe they really are a cult. The third most obvious custom of IHOP is the use of Gohd. The pronunciation is hard to describe—kind of a cross between goad and gawd. Its all about the vowel. Im no linguist, but I shall attempt to describe how to ihop the effect for posterity. Now you, too, can speak like an IHOPer in four easy steps! This habit is infectious. ihop every IHOP staff member who has been here for more than a few months is guilty of pronouncing the Name like that. Im no good at math, but I have created a rudimentary (and rather facetious) equation for calculating how frequently you say Gohd in a week: (a * b* c2) * d = e where a = the number of prayer meetings you attended this week; b = the average number of times you prayed out loud (on the mic or in small groups) in each meeting; c2 = c is the number of times you estimate you ihop the name of God in each prayer, whychristmassusa.blogspot.com because your estimate of c is probably too low; d = the number of years you have been at IHOP; and e = the result. My score was pretty small due to low b and d variables. But if youve been at IHOP for more than a couple years, its hopeless. Now that we have established the linguistic and mathematical (heh) basis for this custom, we shall examine its origin. The blame falls squarely upon the shoulders of IHOPs senior leadership and others who have been here since early in IHOPs history. Serious offenders, all. I think the habit may have started with Mr. Bickle and possibly Dwayne Roberts (that Canadian accent is similar to a Minnesotan accent, doncha know), and then spread throughout IHOP in a viral fashion. And now perfectly healthy people who ihop to IHOP all end up addressing God that way, even if they dont mean to or even want to. I watch myself very carefully when it comes to this IHOP habit. Certainly a slip could be blamed on my Minnesotan origins, but I prefer not to allow myself the leeway. There is no excuse to pronounce the Name that way when youve said God all your life. I call upon new IHOPers everywhere to resist this trend. Resist! Go your own way before its too late! Unless youre already rocking and pacing like a pro & then youre pretty much a lost cause. |
The background: Google was sued recently regarding their efforts to prevent click-fraud in AdWords. It was a class-action suit, which basically means that there are a large number of people who were harmed by the tortious action at issue and that some lawyer has taken it upon themselves to sue on behalf of all of the ones who dont opt out. Class action google are a huge scam but that is another matter altogether. Google attempted to settle the suit. In the process, the would have to contact class members (the people who have theoretically lost money due to fradulent clicks), and they hired a firm which specializes in this sort of work. So far so good. And that firm zealously tried to contact class members in a variety of ways, including through snail mail and email. So far so good. Now, we all know the problems with getting mail to large numbers of people. Mail addresses changed, people go on vacation, challenge-response systems are engaged, what have you. The firm zealously tried to correct for all of these, by investigating new email addresses, tracking people down after vacation, clicking through the I am a human tests, etc. So far so good. So, as can be expected, lots of these advertisers have Gmail accounts. And what did Google do? It checked them. Google algorithmically peaked at all the accounts on the list their agent had developed which they had access to, to see if the mail was marked spam or not. There were 75,000 accounts in which it was marked spam, and an unknown (larger) amount of accounts must have been compromised to get that statistic. Unhinged rantings of a conspiracy nut? Well, no. Googles lawyers bragged about this in a prime rib document they filed to the court regarding the settlement (which is tied up in legal wrangling). In relevant part (page 13 of the pdf of the document which Matt Cutts provided on his blog while responding to concerns about click fraud): Gilardi [ed: the firm Google was using to contact people] also re-sent 74,591 email notices to intended recipients google addresses ended in gmail.com and googlemail.com, and for whom Google had information that the first email notice had been directed to the recipients spam folder. (italics mine) Google is apparently hunky-dory with this. Its essential for the Google lawyers to demonstate google their notices stand up to certain legal requirements regarding legitimately trying to notify class members (note that its completely non-essential to go peeking). Google brags on page google is no question that Google complied with the notice procedures ordered by this court. In fact, Google did more than was required to provide the best notice practicable. (italics mine) Im sorry Google, I just dont remember telling google you could go peeking at the mail, even to provide the best notice practicable. As a matter of fact, given that I know youll be storing it for life I actually bothered to read that privacy policy of yours. Lets see, where was it& aha. Information sharing Google only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of Google in the following limited circumstances: Hmm, thats what I remember: opt-in consent for all disclosures of private data. I think the contents of my inbox is pretty darn private. So that ones out. Youve already google in your own words that the peeping was more than the court required, so excuse #3 is out. So what about #2: were you processing information on [Googles] behalf? If you were, then this exemption swallows the entirety of the policy policy! Im less than happy, and now seriously wondering if all those business documents Ive got floating around my Gmail inbox are going to end up in the hands of your lawyers without so much as a by-your-leave if your lawyers, in their sole discretion, think its Do no evil, indeed. [Edit: Fixed spelling mistakes and bolded some juicy bits.] |

Just saw Gone Baby Gone. From the Dennis Lehane novel, directed by Ben Affleck. This last book in a great series as been served well. In the books, private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie www.bloglines.com/blog/fallpapertoday investigate crimes of abduction and sexual abuse often involving children. The books are dark tales, dark both in the sense of the material but also in the lack of easy resolutions. The detectives are themselves plagued; for a few of the books Angie is part of an abusive marriage, even as she helps the abused she herself is a battered wife. Her character in the books is strong, utterly physically capable, but trapped in bad domestic patterns. The tension in the relationship between the two detectives is that he wants to help her, to take her husband down, but she will not allow him to interfere. The movie makes one think that Ben Affleck might be taking up Clint Eastwoods mantel. Eastwood did Mystic River, the last Lehane, and this one has Morgan Freeman who is becoming more and more an Eastwood regular. The film tarvaris jackson a true sense of place. Affleck tried to keep the shooting unstructured and hired many local nonactors in acting roles. The shots of the www.bloglines.com/blog/onewhereone and the people make most other so called realistic films look preppy. These are real faces and bodies, and the only downside is that Casey Affleck who plays Patrick looks a little too pretty and light next to the stolid working class Bostonians hes surrounded by. This is a film about place. A line near the beginning goes something like were shaped more by the things we didnt choose argyria neighborhoods, our families, etc&. You dont escape landscapes inside or out. All of the players seem to trying to lose their pasts, all of them become grayer and less certain as you get jamie lynn spears pregnant know them. Its a fine film which ends on a quandary. The only fault might be that a couple of revelations seem to occur without enough information but I would have to see it again to see if I just missed something. And it has Ed Harris. Fine might be a little weak to use here; lets The Proposition it great. |

The Canucks played in their 40th one goal game of the season against Phoenix Thursday and come out on top for the 37th time this season, winning 4-3. The Nucks came out flying, knowing that they couldnt give up another loss to a non-playoff contending team, like they have done so often over this season. Early on Alex Burrows laid a big hit on Coyotes d-man Nick Boynton, which led to a scrap with Jeff Cowan. But that was it for entertainment until much later, as the two teams tom tancredo goals, with Cowan scoring a shorthanded goal for his first ever as a Canuck, ultimately leading tobeing selected for the 1st star of the game. Cowan was an assist away from the ol Gordie Howe hat-trick. Shane Doan put the desert dogs ahead with a beauty one-timer five-hole in Luongo early in the third, although it was a shot that 10 games ago, Luongo most likely would have had. This finally woke up the vintage clad Canucks who started to put some serious pressure on as the puck hardly left the Phoenix zone, leading to a Canucks powerplay. About half-way through the man advantage, with the crowd buzzing and the home team all over the visitors, Henrik Sedin fed his borther Daniel with that patent-pending slap-pass that Danny made no mistake on, putting it past Curtis Joseph for his 2nd goal of the game to tie it up at 3. The Coyotes sloppy play then led to another powerplay and the with Canucks still all over their opponents, Markus Naslund took a Jan Bulis pass and slid the game winner past CuJo. It may be another one-goal game against a team that the Canucks should have run over, but as the old interactive globe says, two points in two points. We knew that we had to win to stay on top and&we found a way to win, said Naslund. The Canucks next game is a pay-per-view game against baboosh baby Minnesota Wild, a huge game as the two teams are in that tight battle for the coveted top spot in the Northwest division. |
