Ok, here's a quick snap for you. Any idea where it's taken from in deepest, darkest Crewe? I might have used it before. Something of a senior moment, maybe? Anyway, there's another reason why I wanted to feature this area. More of that after you'd had a stab at guessing where it is...

Lately, we’ve been making a lot of southern European dishes and we felt we needed a break, but we were also looking for a dish that wouldn’t take all night to make and require us to buy a load of ingredients we’d use for one dish and then sit and rot in our refrigerator. So, [...]

It just dawned on me that maybe calling my fetus a slug wasn’t the most “motherly” thing to do. Everyone else calls their as yet unborn children cute things like “peanut” and “gummi bear”.

This from Kevin Carey at The Quick and the Ed:Lawless Policymaking...Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced that she would allow 10 states to change what they do with schools that fail to make "adequately yearly progress" under NCLB....This is not, in the strictest sense of the word, legal.The black-letter law is pretty clear: If you want federal money, you have to implement an accountability system that works as follows. There are no sections or subparagraphs that say The Secretary of Education may at her discretion alter or ignore the previous subparagraphs if people seem to agree they're not written well and Congress doesn't get around to reauthorizing the law on schedule.But this is nothing new; Sec. Spelling did the same thing with a "growth model" pilot project a few yea

Because beards are for strokin', yo!Akron/FamilyWho they are: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, without doing any research whatsoever, that they are a bunch of dirty hippies.What they sound like: I think it's most easily summed up as music to kill yourself to veerrrrrrrrrrrry mellow folk.Akron/Family - Italy (ysi)What I think: This type of music certainly has it's place, I suppose...

somewhat, was freezing and sweating friday, the entire weekend was spent sick and gross. had lots of soup. monday i decided to go see dr cause this shit sucked badly. my normal cardio/internist was out on vaca for a week or some shit. my other friend recommended her dr who was in flushing which was near me. i call up and the lazy recpetionist told me i could see the dr if i went right now. great right? i asked if they took my insurance to which her reply was oh you're a new patient in broken english. sigh. yes! then she goes come in tom. WTF?! what do you mean? i'm coughing up a lung here you lazy fucker! oh no too much paperwork. come in tom. WTF? Do you realize how lazy you sound? do you also realize that you just lost business due to your immense laziness? How is that any reason to tur

Ok, a friend of my boss's asked me to hang out with her so...I did. We decided to go to Bonefish Grill for drinks and dinner.Well let me tell ya.....I am NOT a drinker but I decided to woman up and order a drink. As I perused the drink menu I noticed something called a Pomegranate Martini. That sounded pretty damn yummy so I decided to partake. I mean I like pomegranates and I had a Key Lime Martini in Jackson MS that was to die for so I figured how could I go wrong so I ordered it.Well let me tell you...all I can say is DAMN!! That is some kinda good!If you are ever in Bonefish Grill order yourself a Pomegranate Martini. You'll thank me later. Trust.Uuuuhhhh..... men. This goes for you too.

I haven't had this sort of reaction to jewelry in a long time. Maybe ever, actually. Polly van der Glas takes the concept of recycling to a whole new, somewhat disturbing, level. Melbourne-based van der Glas sources her materials from friends and family who have given, literally, of themselves - as in donated body parts (hair, teeth, and other replaceable bits) - to create a jewelry line that has heads turning and mouths gaping.

Currently Greg and I are still working on our baby blog. I won’t be revealing anything about the pregnancy until the blog is finished. I have been distracted by the urge to create baby registries. Greg works and naps. Sometimes I lack energy, etc. We moved my office into the bedroom so we’d both be more comfortable. It’s cozier in the bedroom, I can watch tv and we can both be together. The bedroom is also closer to the fridge and bathroom, lol. The lighting is much better too. I’ll probably be taking a break from my web design job because I can’t deal with starting a project then having it open for months because of delays. Once I finish the 2 that are open I won’t be taking anymore unless I feel I can knock them out with no issues. I’m trying to focus more on the things that I have going on. This doesn’t mean I can’t take on personal requests, those I have full control over and can get done in less than a week depending on what i

A Paris civil court ordered Sony BMG and MTV Online to stop broadcasting or marketing the video for "Do Something" in any form and fined them 80,000 euros ($117,000) apiece, a spokeswoman for Paris-based Louis Vuitton said Monday. The ruling was handed down last week.In the opening scenes of the video, Spears appears in the driver's seat of a hot pink Hummer floating on make-believe clouds. One shot shows fingers drumming on a dashboard covered with what looks like Vuitton's "Cherry Blossoms" design: dark pink blossoms on a pale pink, weblike background, embossed with the "LV" logo.The court did not find Spears herself guilty but ruled that Sony BMG and MTV Online were guilty of violating counterfeiting laws. The ruling said the video constituted an "attack" on Louis Vuitton's brands and its luxury image, the spokeswoman said.(source)You can still view the "Do Something" video on YouTube, which I have embedded here... I first notice the LV at about 42 secs in. I am really surprised

So, the manger of my building, who lives in the apartment next door, was robbed last night. They broke in through the window and I heard him saying that they stole a jar of change and his digital camera. It's a little creepy because I certainly don't want anyone breaking in to my place. I've got a lot of expensive stuff in there now.Yeah, it's creepy. Very creepy.Digg This! ~ del.icio.us ~ Stumble It!

I love the growth in these ’social websites’ - I’m never too sure whats considered as being social media these days.

Kinda really hilarious.   John Mayer has started a "mlog," which is a blog about his meals. Here is Mayer's reason for doing something so dumb: Americans are celebrity obsessed, and that obsession shows no signs of stopping. So in an effort to stay on the cutting edge of digital technology and pop culture, I've decided to make the most personal facet of my life public. My meals. If I'm correct, America - no, the world - will want to see this.   Thanks John, but I already read about this at CelebFood.com, the hottest new celebrity meals gossip site. Did you know that J. Lo had extra ranch dressing on her salad last night? Sounds like she's eating for two!   This past Monday, John had waffles. With blueberries and strawberries. Surely there is a hidden meaning behind this choice. Could he be back with Jessica Simpson? Blueberries are blue, and John Mayer plays the blues. Strawberries are delicious, just

As though I didn't have enough to do, I've decided to do something that may be fun. I've joined the NaBloPoMo '07 bloggers. What in the world?? you ask? Well, basically it's this. I write something everyday for the month of November. Since I pretty much do this anyway, I didn't think it would be too much of a big deal. What that means though, is that my Sunday Song Recommendations will have to come alongside other interesting written words. And I won't be able to do Wordless Wednesdays without doing Word filled Wednesdays too (I don't know if there's actually a Word Filled Wednesday thing or not, but I will have to do it whether there is or not.) :) I think I can do it, so long as you have patience with me, when it seems that maybe I'm writing just to be writing. I've also done that on occasion, as you know, so perhaps, it won't be an issue. I think my biggest challenge will be when I go to Oregon at the end of the month and trying to come up with something to wri

More on Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research Center studyAs Kentucky School News and Commentary reported last week, a recent Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research Center study said that Kentucky has moved up from 43rd to 34th nationally in education over the last 13 years driven primarily by increases in 4th and 8th grade science scores and 4th grade reading, along with a steady decline in the dropout rate .But not everyone is impressed with the report. Absent a uniform interstate data set, the study cobbled together available data to make it's determination. This might be upsetting if there was a better tool present, but there isn't. There ought to be. Even if states continue to shy away from national standards we would have a more precise idea of how America's students were progressing if states could agree on how we measure progress.And in Kentucky, there is progress.As it is, the KLTPRC report only serves to verify two previous studies. This morning's Herald-Leader reported, "Kentuc

I’m at a point where I’m close to pulling my hair out with one of my jobs. It’s all so frustrating but I’m just going with the flow. I have a moment of rage and then I’m content. I need to be spending more time working on my store that I’m supposed to be opening this month and that’s what I will be doing. Knocking out client work is best in the mornings because at night, I get so bored and tired of working. My store I can handle at night though because it’s mine. I’m also taking orders for graphics, banners, layouts, templates, complete website designs, you name it! If you need something done contact me and we’ll discuss. I have no exciting news and I think my mother relies on me for that now. Lately she’s been in such of a blah mood because taking care of my aunt is well, not becoming, but has been more than a handful. All my aunt does is sleep all day and my mother keeps up the house, all of my aunt’s business,

Huh, well the Palm Centro’s all official and now we know it’s real specs. The wierd thing? I kinda like it. Sure, sure, it’s still hobbled by Garnet. But that was never in question. Sure, sure, it’s running the same ARM processor that Palm’s been using since the 650 lo these many years. But here’s what I like. At least Palm is trying something new - this one’s shape is fairly different from their Treo line (hence it isn’t branded a Treo at all, interesting…) and they’re going for a smaller more pocketable form factor. An ideal to be applauded. Also it’s only $100 (although I think I read it’s $299 without 2 yr contract). That’s a big deal, I think, for a touchscreen smart phone. No? Another thing they got right was somehow cramming 320×320 pixels in that small screen - that’ll keep it sharp and god knows more pixels is always better on these screens. And having it rock out on EVDO could make the

Apparently britney's management will be splitting with the popstar. This after her terrible performance and many different issues the two just couldn't get it together anymore. After a long battle in court with her ex kevin her lawyers also have had enough and will be resigning their position. This didn't affect the courts ruling today that she and kevin will share custody after kevin had asked the court that he gets the full custody due to brits drug habbits .... maybe kevins late night drinking had something to do with this ??More will certainly follow ............

We recently changed our credit card to one with a lower interest rate and that, (although in the process we got a credit card from another bank and an extra $2000 credit, but that’s a different story) in doing so we were going to lose the Award Points we had saved up, so we thought we better redeem what little we had. So after looking through the catalogue the best thing we could see for the amount of points we had was a $50 Sanity voucher, so we ordered it, and it turned up like a week later which was surprising. So we headed off to shop, and of course went straight for the $10 table to buy a bunch of cd’s we’ve always wanted but never got around to buying, or didn’t have the money at the time. There’s some Gold on these tables usually, not so much this day, although I did get something I have wanted for a long time… The Offspring! It was a best of album so I now have a bunch of great songs to reminisce to… We also picked up a copy

As I understand it, there are a lot of new DAPs and music-enabled mobile phones that support A2DP - a technology that allows devices to transmit stereo audio to Bluetooth headphones. It's all the rage with the kids these days, and many fans of cutting cables wherever possible were a bit disappointed when the A2DP acronym didn't make the iPhone's feature list. Thanks to a tip from TUAW reader Earle Davies though, the iPhone apparently does seem to support sending any audio - including music and the audio tracks from your videos - to a Bluetooth headset that isn't even enabled with A2DP - but it aint pretty.To tinker with this, you of course need to have a Bluetooth headset paired with your iPhone. I personally have an older HS-850, one of the first Motorola models with a microphone that flipped open to toggle the headset on and off. After you've switched your headset on and it's shaken hands with your iPhone, go into the Visual Voicemail screen and tap the Audio button in the uppe

Warning: This bit is for those of us who come to blogging from a non-technical background. Programmers and know-it-alls will find this utterly laughable. All right now, settle down, stop laughing.I just realized that, when posting, it is much easier to type some things in html format rather than cut and paste from my word processor. Case in point: the copyright symbol used to drive me nuts. No more: html codes for symbols and accents are pretty intuitive. For most of these, it's the ampersand symbol (&) followed by text, like copy or reg, and ending with a semicolumn. The html code for copyright © is (type it in) ampersand copy semicolumn. For registered trademark ® , it's (type it in) ampersand reg semicolumn For trademark ™, ampersand trade semicolumn What do shoes have to do with this?

I woke this morning to find that Dick Cheney was the President of the United States. After confirming that I wasn't still asleep, I marvelled that the sun had actually still risen. Who'd of thunk it, eh?Jokes aside, I have a technical question about this temporary transfer of power. Given that Bush actually invoked section 3 of the 25th amendment to transfer power to Cheney, from a constitutional perspective should Cheney be recorded as the 44th President of the United States? Seems that the constitutional provision has only be used twice before, once by Regan to transfer power to Bush Sr. (which is a moot point for this debate since he became President afterwards the regular way), and in 2002 when Dubya had to undergo the same procedure as this morning.For supporting evidence I will refer you to Season 5, Episode 1 of the West Wing where President Bartlet invokes the 25th amendment after his daughter is kidnapped. At one point some White House staffers debate whether Acting Presiden

Today I did not work. Sort of.What I didn't realize when I scheduled myself was that I picked up a night shift for Wednesday morning. Ugh. Feeling stupid about that one. So, though I had all of Tuesday off, I still had to be to work at 12:45 AM. And so I am here.Even so, yesterday was amazing. I spent the majority of the day with Ross, which in itself is awesome. He and I ate dinner, got some pie at Baker's Square, and followed up that mass consumption of calories with a long walk down by the river. We sat at my favorite spot, a small beach at the end of the trail. Sitting there with him was by far the highlight of the day. I've never done anything so... romantic. Just the two of us, looking out at the river, enjoying the beautiful (albeit hot) day. It was simply amazing. If only that moment could've lasted forever...It was so difficult to pry myself off of him when he had to go home. I would've loved it if he could have stayed, but unfortunately because of my night shift tonight

Pay Per Post. Blog to Profit. Sponsored Reviews. Review Me. Product reviews are the new black. Many of my favorite bloggers have recently opened up their own product review blogs. Izzy’s even keeping a blogroll for them all. Savvy companies are now recognizing the viral power of bloggers and tripping over themselves to mail out free samples of everything from tampons to toilet cleaner. But anyone with a little public relations knowledge knows that influencing people involves trust and commonality. When the mommy blogs I read suddenly start posting about life insurance, moving companies, and eco-friendly home products, something just doesn’t feel right. Readers can tell when a post is a review or paid post vs a post where the blogger just talks about something they use and love. Bloggers recognize this, hence the explosion of “review blogs.” Now I like to get free stuff as much as anyone, and I like to make money as much as anyone, but I have to wonder how long

Hello, Scrap Fans. This is Ted of A Price Above Bip Roberts back again with the third part of our weekend series on appreciating the Pacific Northwest and realizing it's about to become the epicenter of the sports world - even without Mike Hargrove, that lovable curmedgeon bastard who shuffled off Ichiro's good side today.Right now is Part 3. If you're wondering where we've been all day, we can only give you this advice: don't go to a wine bar until 2:30am listening to a generic DJ spin beats, then get up 5 minutes before your touch football game, which is in turn 1 hour before you have to go work, with a massive hangover, and expect anything positive and productive will emerge from your day. You know what? It won't. Here we go now:We went to college on the east side of the country (Hoya Saxa!) and we liked to party. This should strike no one as a surprise, especially given the second italicalized paragraph above. Oftentimes, we'd return from the watering holes around 1-2 becaus

Feeling a bit fluffy in the brain now.  Let me tell you something though, I think that I had forgotten what it was like to not have so much joint pain.  It had gotten really bad the last couple weeks, particularly this past few days.  Oh man, I have to wonder if it’s not the medication that is potentially addictive, it’s the addiction of wanting to be pain free that gets people.  I debated not even taking it yet, waiting till the pain got worse.   But then the village got all up in arms about it, and said if I didn’t take one we wouldn’t be able to draw today.   Only took half a dose to start with.  If I’m allergic to it, I figure half a dose is better than a full dose.  The bottle does say I can take one or two, so I just took one.  I am feeling kinda okay right now haha Even my headache has eased up, my fever is down, and the joint pain is still there but it’s sooo much more tolerable.  I&rs

The Terminator is coming back. A nascent film company has acquired the franchise rights to the popular movie series from producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna, intending to make a new trilogy.

Most of the population would think otherwise however. It's sad cause this guy thinks he's frank Sinatra. What's worse is that we live in 2007 and still have to put up with these imitators. I'm not a fan of Sinatra either. Personally, I think his music is too slow and boring but you know, he's a house hold name. Unlike Buble. Anyways, if you haven't checked his music out for yourself, go to amazon.com or a bn bookstore and sample it for free. It's NSFW though since it might put you to sleep.

So, in the next couple of weeks I'm going to be making some changes to my blog I have been fiddling with colors and different stuff recently so forgive me. I'll try to get it back to normal as soon as possible! Thanks!!

Hey, friends. Ted back again.If you read the Sporting News religiously, as I do, you might have seen their "Mach Five" Draft this week. Here's how it worked: they conducted five separate drafts, done by the following parties - 1) SN team correspondents; 2) five-star bloggers at SN.Com; 3) Vinnie Iyer, their NFL Special Projects Editor; 4) War Room Scouts; and 5) pulling names out of a helmet at random.All of them were vastly different, mostly centered around what's at the top. The random helmet one, which featured Patrick Willis going to the Raiders at No. 1 and Brady Quinn slipping out of the first round entirely, might have made the MOST sense.With about one hour until the bloviating begins, here's my take on the Top 10. Why JUST the Top 10? Any reasonable person should have flipped over to HBO 3 for "Beverly Hills Cop" by then.1. Raiders - JaMarcus RussellHe'll probably kill someone outside a Bay Area nightclub by 2010.2. Lions - Joe ThomasWhen he reacts to his pick on the fishi

HOMEGIRL KINDA NUTSTake a look at what Angelina Jolie had to say about when she was younger:"I had started having sex with my boyfriend and the sex and the emotions didn't feel enough. I was no longer a little girl. In a moment of wanting to feel closer to my boyfriend I grabbed a knife and cut him. He cut me back. We had an exchange of something and we were covered in blood, my heart was racing. Then whenever I felt trapped, I'd cut myself. I have a lot of scars. It was an age when I felt adventurous and after a few beers things happened."This is from an interview in OK! Magazine. Yeah I think it's kinda cool. Creepy, but cool. No, I'm not all here.[Source]CUTEST THING EVER . . .This is just too frickin adorable!!! I wanna cry! I love it! Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn are on the cover of OK! Magazine. He is so hot.[Source]

It's done I have finally annoyed the piss out of the manager at the apartment complex I applied for last week, today she gave my hub some 'tude when he was on the phone with her. We understand she has got a ton of things to do, yet so do we. We weren't rude to her, in fact, I think she's a cute old lady, who I wouldn't mind as our manager. Anyhoo we have another appointment with another complex, this one being a two bed one and a half bath, but all the amenities are paid. Cable, internet, water, trash, and sewer, all paid. Price is a little high for a two bed at around $660 a month, but the way we figure it, it might save us money in the long run, who knows. Monday is the appointment to go look around it, so until then, still just calling random units, and really striving for a 2 bed now. We ran out of three bed options a long time ago, lol. We can make it work though no problemo.Last few days I have been spicing and 'uh spanning this house, walls are scrubbed, floors and shining

Sorry to be course, but what else can I say about soldiers spending more time in Iraq. WASHINGTON — In a change of Pentagon policy, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Wednesday that all active duty Army soldiers deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan will now serve their tours for as long as 15 months, an increase over the standard year-long deployment. In an acknowledgement of the strains the U.S. military surge in Iraq is having on the military, Gates told reporters that the new policy will be effective immediately on all units in the Central Command area of responsibility. The troops will continue to return home to their stations for not less than 12 months rotations. The rule will apply to all except for of two brigades currently deployed that have already been extended to 16-month deployments. => Read more!

NEW BANNER / NEW FEATUREOkay so I was kinda getting bored with the banner of the blog, so I decided to change it EVERY MONTH! I came up with the idea of changing the banner by featuring a diffrent artist every MONTH. But I would like your guy's help, so leave some comments on who you'd like to see on the upcoming months.(DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA OR NO? LEAVE ARTIST SUGGESTIONS)

No matter what anyone says, there is a distinct advantage in buying a CD, like people did back in the last century.Then, more or less, we can rip it and play the tunes in any portable player or on any computer. And even though I know I don't actually own the music in a legal sense, it seems like it's mine, short of taking a bad hit of acid and deciding to melt the whole collection down in order to make a glorious silver chalice.The same thing goes for movies. I know the coming thing is the downloading of movies. VISTA is designed to be the home entertainment center beaming the most recent action flick to the TV. But when that hard drive is gone, so are the flicks. My DVD's are portable and travel with me when I am finally tossed out on my hiney.But today Apple announced an agreement with EMI to remove one of the problems, at least as far as music is concerned. We will be able to download DRM-free music from iTunes. However, the DRM-free music will cost an extra thirty cents a po

I’m in love. With Jack Johnson’s Song, Banana Pancakes… …and my husband. Once upon a time, nearly 9 years ago, this song would have described our mornings off together. We used to wake up slow…stretchy…yawny… This morning, this Friday morning, we did just that. I’m so in love.

If you like Nascar, raise your hand. Now take that hand in the air and use it to slap your head. Haha, sorry, I kid, but I personally can’t stand watching a bunch of cars drive around in a circle. However, that was before I found out that every time Matt Kenseth wins a race, you can get some free Arby’s curly fries! Basically, if he wins, you can either: Bring in a coupon they’ll put online on their site that day only. Bring in official race results from a sports website or newspaper. Suddenly I’m a Matt Kenseth fan and now I hope his car goes around that circle the fastest! [via the forums]Technorati Tags: free, Arby’s, curly fries, nascar, matt kenseth

I know many pre-meds are concerned with their competitiveness for medical school. I know I was one of them! In order to help alleviate so of your anxiety (or possibly add to it) let me dispel the common myth that you need a 4.0 GPA in order to get into medical school. Granted, a high GPA will help your application, but it is not necessarily required. Medical schools look at a variety of factors in order to determine competitiveness for admission. GPA is only one piece of the puzzle. So, generally, in order to be competitive at a US medical school, I would say you NEED a GPA of 3.0 or greater. I would say that if your GPA is less than this, I would take additional coursework to raise it above a 3.0. Now, your chances are better the higher your GPA. In reality, a GPA of 3.5 to 3.6 is more like what you should shoot for in order to be competitive to MOST med schools. Here's a breakdown from what I remember when I was applying:Harvard Medical School 3.8Washington University 3.8Georgetown

Wow. I admit it, I am in awe of myself. A few new links placed and a MyBlogLog account and all of a sudden I have lots of comments, and I see more and more people visiting my page. Ok, there may have been a lot of people coming before, I do have some really cool friends out there But now even people I don’t know are reading, and I think maybe, just maybe, they might like me. That MyBlogLog thing is kinda cool, btw. I am meeting some people with some really great blogs, and now my blog has a community there. I still haven’t quite yet figured out just how my blog got its own community, but dang it sounds cool doesn’t it? And I didn’t even ask anyone to join, they just read my blog and joined! I feel kinda special, and not in the “rides the shortbus” way either. This post may be a little narcissistic(topic of the day) but I think we are all entitled once in awhile right?

(WRITER’S NOTE: Big thanks to Devon for bringing this to my attention. To quote Hank Scorpio “When you go home tonight, there’s gonna be a new story added to your house”) The cool cats over at StarWarsKnights.com have posted an interview they recently conducted with the two owners of the LucasArts Fan Network, named “Aristotle and Visac.” Hey, it was an online chatbox interview — those aren’t their real names. During the interview, they let loose a rather large hint regarding KotOR 3. When asked about KotOR 3, “Aristotle” had this to say: Ah… the KOTOR 3 question…. let me just say … don’t forget the NDA we are under… but I will say stay tuned Now, this is what I like to call the “wink and nudge” response. Where they are essentially telling you that they ARE working on it, but can not actually come out and say “yes, it’s being worked on.” 2K Sports pulled the same

Dear America,I, Billy Crystal, do officially announce my probationary entry into the 2008 Presidential race. Long have I stood on the sidelines and watched others run this country into the ground. Well, not anymore. With the exception of Scott Bakula, I am the most qualified man (and I stress the word man) for the job. I urge you to vote for me, if indeed I do run, which is uncertain because I don't want to committ to running until I know I can win, even though nothing is ever certain and I am 100% determined to run, but it sounds better to say I'm exploring the options. While I don't have any "platform" or "campaign ideas" or more than a "fifth grade education," it shouldn't matter. What should matter is that I starred in When Harry Met Sally and saw Meg Ryan fake an orgasm in a restaurant. That is much more important than an Iraq policy or a stance on the genocide in Darfur. What's more, I can do voices really well, so instead of faking a Southern accent, I can do an outdated Ho

Tennessee took part in it’s second practice of the Spring approximately 2-3 years before any other team in the country has even thought about Spring. This, no doubt attributed to the fact that for most of the country, it’s still somewhere around -300 degrees (that’d be Celsius, not Fahrenheit) outside. The dumb part comes in due to the fact that apparently the practice was “designated as a practice in which full to-the-ground tackling was not allowed.” Now, I’m all about the NCAA rules being a bit iron-fisted, but Tennessee doesn’t seem to realize that the SEC is a favorite of the NCAA as an “example” league in which they are punished for infractions in order to serve as an example for the rest of the country to be wary of. That being said, teams must designate practices as full-pad, tackling, shorts, bikini bottoms only, etc… and said rules must be followed strictly in order to avoid additional penalties. Why is designatin

…where “meta” is Internet code for “inside baseball.” Friend Reid Levin and company over at Better Than the Machine made a video that spoofs a Bud Light video that appears to have pretty liberally borrowed from a sketch by another comedy troupe, The Whitest Kids U’Know. I won’t go too much further into it, mostly because I’m underqualified (and a little because I need to get a hold of some breakfast in a bad way), but here is the very funny BTTM video and below the fold you can find the also very funny Whitest Kids video and the actual commercial in question.

Me and some friends watching the heat at Pacaya on a cold night in Guatemala. The picture, as usual, was taken without filters. I never use filters. Pacaya volcano at night, or “Paca-night” After several visits to the volcano and one walk over the dry lava we decided to take some pictures at night. To our surprise, it looked as a city in flames… red glow all over the place and we, knowing Pacaya like the palm of our hands, couldn’t recognize the roads with easy. During the day you can only see the most evident lava flows, which look red and dark red because of the sunlight. But at night it is a different story. The heat was nice but in some parts it was too much to stay there. Some families went there with food and were having dinner right there. Don’t believe me? See for yourself… the place glows in read and the hot steam helps to make the glow more evident. It looks as a possible hell, but it is not frightening, it looks quite peaceful. Lots of k
