Lyrics of Calling All Angels
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
‘Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
‘Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don’t talk for years
And football teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it’s ours

The killing has come as Obama administration vowed to help Mexican authorities overcome wide spread violence by the drug lords. Arturo Beltran Leyva is considered the chief of a group called Los Zetas. We have posted a video on our site showing sheer brutality of the group as a man is killed by strangulation and each and every step is filmed.
Roy Disney, the son and nephew of The Walt Disney Co. founders who twice led shareholder revolts that shook up the family business, died Wednesday. He was 79. The company announced that Disney died in Newport Beach, Calif., after a bout with stomach cancer.
Although he generally stayed out of the spotlight, Roy Disney didn't hesitate to lead a successful campaign in 1984 to oust Walt Disney's son-in-law after concluding he was leading the company in the wrong direction.
Nearly 20 years later, he launched another successful shareholders revolt, this time against Michael Eisner, the man he'd helped bring in after the previous ouster.
Disney, born in 1930, had practically grown up with the company. His uncle Walt Disney and his father, Roy O. Disney, had co-founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio seven years before, later renaming it The Walt Disney Co.
Two years before he was born, the company gave birth to its iconic cartoon character, Mickey Mouse. While Walt was the company's creative genius, his brother was the one in charge of the company's finances.
Starting in the 1950s, the younger Roy Disney worked for years in the family business as an editor, screenwriter and producer. Two short films he worked on were nominated for Academy Awards: the 1959 "Mysteries of the Deep," which he wrote, was nominated as best live action short, and the 2003 film "Destino," which he co-produced, was nominated as best animated short.
Despite his heritage, Roy Disney never got the chance to lead the company as his father and uncle had. But as an investor who grew his Disney stock into a billion-dollar fortune, he ultimately had a huge impact on the company's destiny.
In 1984, dissatisfied with the leadership Walt's son-in-law Ron Miller was providing, Disney resigned from the company's board of directors and sought investors to back a bid to install new management. (Miller was the husband of Diane Disney Miller, Roy's cousin.)
His efforts resulted in the hiring of Eisner and Frank Wells, who led the company as a team until Wells died in 1994.
During that time, Disney rejoined the board and rose to become the company's vice chairman and chairman of its animation division, where he helped oversee the making of such hit films as 1994's "The Lion King."
He also became a savvy investor over the years, forming Shamrock Holdings with his friend and fellow Disney board member Stanley Gold in 1978. The fund grew to become a major investor in California real estate, the state of Israel and other entertainment and media companies.
In 2007, Forbes magazine ranked him as the 754th richest person in the world and estimated his fortune at $1.3 billion. He was not on the list in subsequent years.
In his spare time he bought a castle in Ireland and indulged his passion for yacht racing, setting several speed records. For years he was a fixture at the Transpacific Yacht Race between California and Hawaii.
After years of dissatisfaction with Eisner's leadership and the company's lagging stock price, Disney and Gold resigned their board seats in 2003 and launched a shareholder revolt.
In his resignation letter, Disney called for Eisner's ouster, complaining that on his watch the company's standards had declined, particularly at theme parks like California's Disneyland and Florida's Walt Disney World.
"The Walt Disney Company deserves fresh, energetic leadership at this challenging time in its history just as it did in 1984 when I headed a restructuring which resulted in your recruitment to the company," Disney wrote to Eisner.
Initially rebuffed, Disney rallied small investors and enthusiasts who responded to his folksy complaints about peeling paint at the theme parks and his anger at being told he would have to leave the board because he was too old.
"One of the reasons for my leaving, other than the fact that they fired me, was that I saw that quality slipping away from us," Disney told a 2004 meeting of memorabilia collectors.
Slowly, Disney built support for his cause, and at the company's annual shareholders meeting in 2004 he received a standing ovation.
Shareholders eventually delivered an unprecedented rebuke to Eisner, withholding 45 percent of votes cast for his re-election to the board.
The chief executive was later stripped of his role as board chairman and announced his retirement in 2005, a year before his contract was up.
Disney initially opposed Eisner's successor, Robert Iger, but they reconciled and in 2005 Iger named Disney a board member emeritus and welcomed him back to company events.
Born in Los Angeles on Jan. 10, 1930, Roy Edward Disney was Roy and Edna Disney's only child. As an adult, he often wore a mustache, which gave him a striking resemblance to his legendary uncle.
After graduating from Pomona College in 1951, he briefly worked at NBC as an assistant editor on the "Dragnet" TV series.
After joining Disney, he worked on a series of live action short features, including "The Living Desert" and "The Vanishing Prairie."
Not only do both teams have a lot at stake, but some words exchanged have fueled what has been a relatively docile fire for more than a decade.
“It’s going to be a real big dogfight because they’re playing for a little bit more this year, but so are we,” Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs said. “And the fact that they’ve been saying stuff in the media, that’s just affirming just how much is on the line.”
What Navy perceives as trash talking is actually a rare showing of confidence from an Army team that has five wins, more wins than it has had since 1996. The Black Knights are a win away from a trip to the EagleBank Bowl, the team’s first bowl since 1996.
Army senior receiver Ali Villanueva guaranteed a win on GoBlackKnights.com. Senior defensive tackle Victor Ugenyi said the senior class is looking to turning the program around after it beats Navy and wins its bowl game. First-year head coach Rich Ellerson said his team expected to win the game.
It’s easy to see why Army’s statements seem a little bold. The Black Knights haven’t beaten Navy since 2001 and have scored more than 20 points just once during the seven-game losing streak. Navy has only scored fewer than 30 once in that time. Navy has defeated Army by an average of 29 points, and last year’s 34-0 shellacking marked the first shutout in the series since 1978.
Navy hasn’t lost to either Army or Air Force since 2002 and has won the Commander-in-Chief Trophy outright for the past six seasons.
“Winning the Commander-in-Chief Trophy is kind of becoming a tradition here and we want to keep the thing rolling,” Dobbs said. “It’s just exciting to have our name as one of the classes to have the most wins against service academies. That’s definitely an honor and something that a lot of guys will want to keep.”
Navy is coming off a difficult loss to Hawaii two weeks ago, but still has its goals intact. Coach Ken Niumatalolo has said many times that Navy strives to win the Commander-in-Chief Trophy and go to a bowl game. The Midshipmen are one win away from their seventh outright Commander-in-Chief Trophy and will face Missouri in the Texas Bowl on Dec. 31.
If the Midshipmen win out, they would have 10 wins, matching their winningest season since 2004.
“We took [the Hawaii loss] to heart and we tried to downplay how bad it hurt,” Dobbs said. “[Niumatalolo] wanted us to just get over it and you know, focus on Army. But in the back of our minds it was just a devastating loss. We’re just thinking about the opportunities that we could have had… We want to get that taste out of our mouths.”
The pre-nuptial deal was $20 million with speculation of lasting for 10 years. If it is not considered an understatement Tiger is going to lose much more than anyone expected.
To keep the scarce warmth inside the house, windows should be kept warm as well by blocking drafts and insulating them more than before. One way to do this is by using thermal drapes or various window quilts. These are great window treatments to keep the inside warmth from seeping through the window cracks and holes and to keep the electricity bills at normal levels this winter.
First of all one needs to check whether they need any repairs or sealing of any gaps. If you have felt draft coming through your windows at some point it means that sealing the leaks with foam, heat shrinking plastic material and caulk is in order. Find them in most hardware stores nowadays and they are quite cheap.
Depending on your window type, if it is single panel instead of double-panel, you might have to get some high performance windows instead which will insulate your room much better than before. They might cost more initially, however in the long run you will realize that it's worth getting them.
You can find several insulating window shades and drapes online and in various offline stores. What you need to check is their R-value, which means that the higher the number, the better insulation they are able to give your window. Insulated shades hang over the glass and they are able to offer great insulation for your windows keeping your room warm.
One can also make your own window quilts from a mixture of quilted fabric, bubble wrap and a polyethylene vapor barrier. They are great to slow down the loss of heat in the house. If you can not afford the commercial types and you are good at quilting, now is your chance to put your hobby to good use.
It is possible to buy rigid foam insulation window inserts, if one does not mind blocking out the daylight somewhat. These are not very pretty, but they are cheap and quite effective in keeping the heat in your room. You could use these in rooms that are not used by guests in the house, such as in bathrooms or bedroom or any storage rooms.
However, now there are transparent window inserts that are better suited for this purpose.

Arch Window Treatments
Some have opted to reconcile their own traditions with those of their occupier, borrowing from Western ways that open the path to philosophy and science, and integrating themselves into a wider culture. Others fiercely resist, waging a bitter and bloody war not only on the occupier, but also on those in their own community who seek to collaborate or integrate with the occupiers who are denounced as defilers.
If this were contemporary Afghanistan-Pakistan, you’d know who was whom, right? But before you bite into that latke or sing the dreidel song, you may want to consider that in Judea in the second century BC, the Taliban role is played by the Maccabees. And it is the Maccabees, of course, who are lionized in the Hanukah tale.
In fact, they pretty much invented the holiday to celebrate their victory over the Greeks and all Jews who would embrace their ways, the “Hellenizers.” Hanukah is not mentioned in the Torah. It’s not really a religious holiday at all — the bubbemeis about an oil lamp burning for eight days was tacked on as an afterthought, and a way of smuggling God into what was a ritual celebrating a very temporal insurgent military triumph. Being what my son archly calls a “J-theist”, I’m not about to start trafficking in Biblical miracles (not that Hanukah is mentioned in the Jewish bible), but you have to figure that making a stash of olive oil burn for eight days while replenishments are cold-pressed and consecrated is uh, small potatoes compared with, you know, parting the Red Sea and such like. So the Jewish god really gets involved in such quotidian “miracles” as extending the life of fuel oil in to enable the proper observance of rituals in his honor in a temple recovered from defilers? You’d think if he cared enough to intervene at all, he might have prevented the defilers from taking over in the first place.
There is, of course, a spectacular irony in the celebration of Hanukah in its contemporary incarnation as a kind of kosher Christmas that has everybody saying “Happy Holidays” to avoid giving offense. (I shouldn’t complain, would we even have South Park if it wasn’t for the fact that so many American Jews treat a Christmas tree as if it were the equivalent of a burning cross placed on their front lawn?). The irony, of course, is that celebrating Hanukah as a major religious holiday is the ultimate triumph of latter-day Hellenization. It hardly exists as a serious religious holiday — even when I was growing up in South Africa, the likes of Simchat Torah and Succoth were far more important. Yet today, in America, it appears to rank up there right after Rosh Hashana/Yom Kippur and Passover as important Jewish holidays. The point, of course, is that this has only been done to compete with Christmas, to adapt Jewish tradition to make it fit the rhythms and rituals of the wider, non-Jewish society.
And most of us are de facto Hellenizers, living according to the ways of the wider society and integrating our Jewishness within that. So what to make of this Jewish holiday that celebrates an austere, inward looking, nationalist identity politics. (Frankly, if only most Jews knew how little Christmas really has to do with Christianity, they may not have been so spooked by it. The Catholic Church was nothing if not Hellenistic, in this respect, endlessly bending and adapting itself to incorporate the pagan rituals of those it was trying to convert.)
But don’t get me wrong; I love Hanukah. I love it mostly because I’m a sucker for lox-’n-latkes and the communion around their consumption.
It does strikes me, though, that the Hanukah story is so patently Disney, and its purpose so negatively nationalist, that we need to consider just what it is about our Jewish identity that we want to celebrate. If I’m going to light eight candles in affirmation of my Judaism — boiled down, in a nutshell to Rabbi Hillel’s famous thumbnail definition of the faith, “That which is hateful unto yourself, do not do unto others; all the rest is commentary” — I don’t want to honor the Maccabee Taliban or their latterday incarnation who’re just as keen to police Jewish identity and enforce fealty to the nationalist vision that is modern Zionism. I want to honor those that exemplify an expansive, ethical Judaism that connects with a universal community of values and uses justice as its only benchmark.
Through a media source, is reporting that Elin Nordegren has told tiger woods that if he wants to save their marriage, he will have to give up golf according to the Orlando Sentinel. tiger woods quitting golf is the equivalent of Dolly Parton quitting country singing. It’s just not natural.
However, tiger woods has told his wife he will “do anything” to save their family. The Sun reports that Elin wants him to give up touring until he regains her trust, or until the couples’ children Sam and Charlie are old enough to tag along with them. Sam and Charlie are both currently under the age of 3.
Given the fact that tiger woods quitting golf would be devastating to those following the sport, I headed out to a local golf supply store to talk to people on their way in and out. Here is what they had to say:
Diane was heading to the golf supply store to buy her husband some Christmas presents. She said she would make the exact same ultimatum that Elin Nordegren Woods did.
Larry says he thinks tiger woods should stick in there with his family, as his fans will understand his decision. When he makes a come back in a couple of years, he will have their respect back for doing the right thing.
Justin said that $80 million is a lot less than what tiger woods would lose if he quit playing golf. He says tiger woods should stand his ground and continue playing golf.
Hoffmann’s minor league career has been more or less split between center field and right field. He hit .282/.390/.553 against left-handed pitchers last season in Triple-A and got a little bit of time with the big league club. His splits against right-handers are actually pretty good as well. He was taken off the Dodgers 40-man roster on September 1 when the Dodgers made a series of call-ups and activated Jon Garland.
UPDATE, 9:05 p.m.: Jamie Hoffmann is officially the first pick.
UPDATE, 9:07 p.m.: Back to back lefties with the third and fourth picks, Ben Snyder and Edgar Osuna. Not Zach Kroenke, kind of surprising.
UPDATE, 9:08 p.m.: There’s Kroenke. The Diamondbacks just took Zach Kroenke with the fifth pick.
UPDATE, 9:09 p.m.: Padres pass. Could have taken a pick but chose not to. Really Padres? You’re all set? Not worth the risk?
UPDATE, 9:10 p.m.: Brewers took pitcher Chuck Lofgren from the Indians. I’ve seen him quite a bit.
UPDATE, 9:11 p.m.: Second Yankee taken. Seattle just took Kanekoa Texeira, the guy the Yankees got in the Swisher trade.
UPDATE, 9:14 p.m.: Boston passed.
UPDATE, 9:15 p.m.: Yankees passed on their official pick.
UPDATE, 9:16 p.m.: Major league phase is over. No team selected in the second round. Kroenke and Texeira were the only Yankees taken.
———
Hoffmann wasn’t getting much buzz coming into the draft. In fact, I don’t think he was getting any buzz coming into the draft. But he hits left-handed pitching and that seems to be what makes him so appealing to the Yankees. Right now he’s hitting just .235 in the Dominican Winter League, but against lefties he’s hitting .368 with a .478 on-base percentage. He doesn’t seem to have Brett Gardner-type speed, but he can steal a bag.
Basically, he could play a role off the bench, and that means he has a chance to stick on the big league roster. It’s not an all-or-nothing pick — the Yankees could have taken a big young arm or some other wild card — but Hoffmann is pretty much big league ready. As far as the Rule 5 goes, it’s a pretty safe pick.
With that out of the way, did
Speculations were rife that the Top Chef people were, for lack of a better word, manipulating the results / challenges this season in favor of a Volt vs. Volt showdown in the end. They probably saw the huge David vs. David thing on American Idol. Let's not give these rumors credence because, in all fairness to the V brothers, both really worked hard throughout this season and were obvious frontrunners en route to last night's finale.
But what's up with the Kevin snub in the end? Sure, Kevin had a little mishap, scarce as it was, when he overcooked the pork belly, but from how I observed it, Padma singled him out just to have a few moments of purely brother vs. brother time. On this note, finishing off an amazing season, did poor Kevin deserve third place?
We wouldn't go down the he's so arrogant route and that little comment that he made that he only wanted to beat his brother.
On to the core: was it a matter of creativity trumping skill? Probably. After all, dehydrated cream of broccoli against fried chicken skin with liquid squash casserole and a sardine casserole?
Throughout this season, Michael's forte had been creativity and originality (and arrogance), while Kevin always do things to perfection, simple as they sometimes were. Michael didn't mince words either: once or twice, he implied that he could make Kevin's dishes in his sleep.
At least we'll know who'll win fan favorite, and it isn't the robotic brothers. The reunion show airs next week.

The Adam Lambert AMA video on YouTube has been extremely popular for the past couple of days. Those that missed the Adam Lambert AMA performance are searching for the YouTube video to see what all the controversy is about. A lucky few will be successful and find an Adam Lambert AMA video on YouTube. They will get excited, link it in their blog and email all of their friends. Then, a short few minutes later they try to re-visit the link only to realize that it has been pulled by Dick Clark Productions because of a copyright claim. Then, you have to delete your blog post (which was bringing in thousands of page views and ad revenue), email your friends a retraction (to avoid looking like an idiot) and try to find another link to the video (and try to save it to your computer this time.) So what's the big deal? Why does Dick Clark Productions even care that people uploaded the video on to YouTube? Isn't it actually a GOOD thing? After all - viewing the Adam Lambert AMA performance was technically free.. Dick Clark Productions owns the rights to the Adam Lambert AMA performance. They can sell, distribute, and reproduce copies of the performance as they see fit. The copyright protects their financial interest in the production. After all - they did most likely spent a lot of money on the production. With all the controversy surrounding the Adam Lambert performance, distributing the video could bring in a significant amount of money. Dick Clark Productions isn't pulling the Adam Lambert AMA video on YouTube because they are a buzz kill. They aren't doing it because they are embarrassed of the performance. They have deleted the videos as they pop up on YouTube because they want to protect their financial interests. This is something that everyone should accept and understand.
Adam Lambert performed "For Your Entertainment," his debut single, at the American Music Awards Sunday night and it is the talk of the Internet. Indeed, Adam Lambert's performance at the American Music Awards will go done in history as one of the most controversial live television.
After all, everyone and their brother is talking about the Adam Lambert AMA controversy and, to be sure, it will be a major topic of discussion on the Web and around water coolers for days to come. What better way to promote an album (Adam Lambert's album drops today)?
American Dad, has featured My Morning Jacket on the top rating TV show. With songs such as “I’m amazed”, “Steam Engine” and “Remnants”. The episode was titled “My Morning Straightjacket” and featured guest star Zach Galifianakis as an MMJ super fan. The band also got to sit in on a table read for the show several years ago, and when in LA to appear on The Tonight Show, and play at the Greek Theater they recorded the voice overs for their episode. Blakenship recalled the experience saying: “It was pretty wild,” “When I was a kid, I wanted to be a According to the bassist Tom Blankenship for the band, they and Barker were drawn together by “mutual love and respect for one another. We’re all fans,” he said. American Dad creator Mike Barker, had a chance meeting after he saw the band perform 4 hour show in the pouring rain at Bonnaroo’08. The band had gone off to do some separate projects such as — Jim James playing with Monsters of Folk and Dan Auerback having Patrick Hallahan drumming while Carl Broemel worked on some solo material. But this didn’t mean the end of the band. He said they had rejoined to plot a followup to Evil Urges, released in 2008 When asked if Blakenship and the band would consider doing other similar shows, he remarked: “If we could go back in time and do the Muppet Show, that would be awesome. Or I would totally do Sesame Street.”

On this day in 1962 Doug Flutie was born.
He would have a long career in the NFL and was a champion in Canada.
But he'll always be best remembered for one play in 1984. Even today it is hard to believe he completed this pass that won him the Heisman Trophy.
Brent Musburger had a great call on television but Dan Davis, now with ESPN, had the wonderful radio call and he remembers everything of that playHonda Motor Co, which is ruling the US roads has topped again in the fuel efficiency and least polluting vehicles in America. Some of the Honda’s SUVs are as follows.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Game has lost a lot of luster.
Ohio State has beaten Michigan five straight times, its best winning streak and the longest in the series since the 1920s.
The ninth-ranked Buckeyes (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) have already clinched at least a share of their fifth straight conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl.
Michigan (5-6, 1-6) is mired in another miserable year – coming off a school-record nine-loss season – and is nearly a two-touchdown underdog to lose Saturday at home to guarantee consecutive losing records for the first time since 1962-63.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, though, insisted those factors haven't diminished the rivalry.
"That would never occur to the participants," Tressel said. "Perhaps to someone from the outside, someone from Utah or something, might not maybe jump on it because neither team is being talked about every day in the national scheme of things."
Michigan has stayed in the news lately for unwanted reasons.
An internal audit was released Monday in untimely fashion with details about the football program failing to file the school's forms that track how much players work out and practice. The forms are used as a tool to help comply with NCAA rules.
Rodriguez said Wednesday the process of filing forms was corrected as soon as he learned it wasn't happening, but said the investigation prevented him from further comment.
An upset against Ohio State would take some heat off Rodriguez for his on-the-field woes and would give a lot of young players some much-needed practices and upperclassmen who were recruited by Lloyd Carr a chance to experience the postseason again.
But Rodriguez said all will not be lost if Michigan loses to Ohio State – again.
"It's not like we're going to say we're doomed without a bowl game this year," Rodriguez said in an interview with The Associated Press in his office. "But I really want it for our seniors."
While speculation swirls about Rodriguez's future, he is confident the school will stay committed to him.
"The administration has been very supportive," Rodriguez said. "I've heard from many alumni and former players and they've all been very supportive."
One former player was anything but supportive when he left Ann Arbor.
Justin Boren played for Carr for two years, then did the unthinkable and transferred to Ohio State after Rodriguez arrived because he said "family values have eroded" in a parting shot.
"That was just like a slap in the face," Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham said.
Tressel wouldn't let Boren speak with reporters this week, but his teammates said he'll be fired up to play in the Big House in scarlet and gray.
"This is his week," Ohio State offensive tackle Jim Cordle said. "I remember when he first came here and all the talk and everything like that, and all the messages he was showing me, and then he went off to the media and said some things about Michigan.
"That's probably why he's not out here (talking to reporters) right now. But he's pumped up for this one and I know those guys are going to be going after him."
The Wolverines will be going after Terrelle Pryor, too, if their struggling defenders can catch him.
Pryor considered attending Michigan when Rodriguez left West Virginia to coach college football's winningest team, but chose to be a Buckeye.
Rodriguez acknowledged it would be difficult to prepare his defense for Pryor.
"You find a guy 6-6 that runs a 4.3," Rodriguez said. "If I had him, he probably wouldn't be on the scout team."
Ohio State seems set up to roll to another easy victory in the rivalry, perhaps like its 42-7 win against Michigan last season.
The Buckeyes have won two straight – against Iowa and Penn State – while the Wolverines' only win since September was against Delaware State.
Michigan's defense has been bad enough to give up at least 35 points in the last four games. Its offense will be without one of its best players, running back Brandon Minor, because of an injured shoulder.
But Tressel knows the rivalry well enough to realize the best team doesn't always win The Game.
"You have to be a little bit careful," Tressel said. "Very seldom do you go into this game and study the statistics sheet. That's just not the way it works."

From Britain to China, fans are going crazy
London - It's a love story between a beautiful young woman and the man of her dreams – who just happens to be 109-year-old vampire.
It's no mystery that the "Twilight" series has been the teen publishing phenomenon of recent times, prompting comparisons to Harry Potter. That success is set to be mirrored in cinemas worldwide with the release this weekend of "New Moon," the second movie adaptation from author Stephenie Meyer's series of books that brim with (unconsummated) desire.
"New Moon" was the fastest advance-selling film of the year in Britain, exceeding the £1 million ($1.6 million) mark, according to the country's largest cinema chain, Odeon.
In India, teenager Ritisha Mishra was so outraged at having been bypassed by the first movie that she rallied likeminded partisans online – and galvanized distributor PVR into bringing both the first and second films to the big screen over the next two weeks.
And in China, where at least one of the books in the series has perched atop the bestseller list for nearly a year, hundreds of thousands of admirers have been soaking up pirated versions of the first movie, which opens in general release only next week.
