- That woman above is using a Blutooth device embedded in her glove.
- While I’m still adjusting to my CPAP machine, I think it’s helping me get better sleep as I’m now able to remember dreams. So far they mainly focus on childhood friends and family, but several involve celebrities. For instance, I hung out with Bono in one dream, but in another, I was just working and took a break to look at CNN.com and saw that Dolly Parton died after getting a face lift.

- Sometimes Google just really impresses me. Yesterday I searched for “protein third pound ground beef” and it provided me a drop down option for meat to fat ratio and other quantities.
- The Rock has quite an interesting diet preparing for his role of Hercules.
- A smart sock for runners.

- More Mad Men stuff:
- When Peggy was hired by Ted and when he broke things off with her, she was wearing the dress. In her last scene of the season, she’s wearing a pants suit, more on that in the last link regarding creator Matthew Weiner’s thoughts of this season.
- I think the Mad Men poster for this season finally makes sense, Don and Dick passing each other.
- Peggy’s silhouette in Don’s office compared to the Mad Men logo.
- The Dick Whitman Hershey’s ad
- A very interesting picture comparing Betty and Don and Trudy and Pete.
- Creator Matthew Weiner talks about the last episode and others from this season. It turns out Pete is simply following Ted to California, and here’s the craziest theory Wiener heard about this season, ““Bob Benson was Peggy’s baby come back from the future in a Terminator thing to illuminate and set things right.”
Don’t fall asleep during his sermon, he’s important
I thought I’d just watch the first minute but he has so many one-liners I just couldn’t stop watching.
I’d love to be in attendance on a fall Sunday and leave just as kickoff is approaching and when asked just being totally honest with him.
Here’s his profile on the church’s website:
Dr. Jim Standridge is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill pastor. When it comes to preaching a gospel of change and higher living, we are not engaged in a run-of-the-mill relationship. Bro. Jim’s style is Spirit-led, encouraging, and practical, engaging the believer in matters of the heart and barring no word in confronting the follower of Christ on issues of sin and iniquity. Bro. Jim toes the line, counsels with the Word of God, and has a heart for God and the church.

‘Impure Thoughts’ keeps 12-year-old girl from being part of a football team
A 12-year-old girl has been kicked off her Christian school’s football team over the fear she might arouse “impure thoughts” among her male teammates.
Maddy Paige of Jackson, Ga., was the starting left defensive tackle as a sixth-grader for Strong Rock Christian School, a private academy in Locust Grove, Ga.
But she was recently informed by the private school’s CEO that she was not welcome to play as a seventh-grader.
“It’s like taking my dream and throwing it in the trash,” Maddy told WXIA-TV in Atlanta.
As far as a reason, Maddy’s mother, Cassy Blythe, told the station: “In the meeting with the CEO of the school [Patrick Stuart], I was told that the reasons behind it were one, that the boys were going to start lusting after her and have impure thoughts about her and that the locker-room talk was not appropriate for a female to hear even though she had a separate locker room from the boys.”
Now that’s how you send off a retiring school principal
Not great, but an A for effort, and quite touching for him.
