Gratefully to have been asked to be apart of this show for the last 3 years.
Unfortunately last year I was unable to participate, but not because I wasn't asked or didn't want to.
This year again I was asked by Judi Oyama, a true honor to be asked to be part of such a great cause with a group of amazing artist.

Warm thanks to Judi!

What I did this year, named "Boobs on Board" AKA "The Sk8 Trophy"  With October breast cancer awareness month, thought may be fun along with a double meaning and everyone likes breasts and boards!

GRIM GRIM PRE-HALLOWEEN GREETINGS FROM LAST NIGHTS DEBACLE AT THE Q.

FEELING PRETTY GOOD AT THE HALF UP 24 TO NOTHING, IT APPEARED THE CHARGERS HAD ALL ON THEIR SIDE, JAMMER'S FIRST PICK 6 AND ERIC DECKER SLIPS WHILE ONLY GREEN AND THE GOAL AHEAD IT SEEMED AS IF THINGS WERE GOING THEIR WAY

HOWEVER.......... 

IT BECAME VISIBLE AS THE BRONCOS EMERGED FOR THE 2ND HALF DOWN 24 POINTS AND READY TO WIN, WHILE THE BOLTS VISIBLY LEFT THEIR CLEATS ALONG WITH THEIR HEARTS IN THE LOCKER ROOM WHEN THEY RETURNED FOR THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF THE GAME.   PEYTON MANNING'S BRONCOS CAME BACK WITH 35 UNANSWERED POINTS 6 TOTAL TURNOVERS FOR RIVERS ALONE, (4 INT'S AND 2 FUMBLES).

DURING THE 2ND QUARTER CAMERA'S SHOWED PETYON LOOKING LIVID A RARITY - I DON'T THINK IVE EVER SEEN HIM LOOK DISHEVELED ON THE SIDELINES, WE JOKED THINKING WHAT HE MAY DO AT THE HALF RUN IN TO THE BATHROOM AND LOCK THE DOOR TO SCREAM??  NOPE I THINK HE WENT IN AND SAID OK GUYS LISTEN UP, AND WE'LL WIN! OH YEAH ALSO, THEY DON'T FINISH!

PLUS JOHN FOX IS A GREAT COACH AS I VIEWED LAST SEASON WHERE HE WAS AND IS ABLE TO UTILIZE PLAYERS FOR THE BEST OF THE TEAM TO BENEFIT, LAST YEAR HE WAS ABLE TO USE TEBOW'S (A TIGHT END MASQUERADING AS A QB) STRENGTHS TO BEAT PITTSBURGH. GUESS WHAT? MANNING IS THERE NOW.

HOWEVER…THAT BEING SAID AND STATED, A FOOTBALL GAME IS 60 MINUTES, 4 QUARTERS YOU ARE TAUGHT TO PLAY THE FULL TIME.

IF THE BOLTS CAN LEARN FROM 2 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS 52-7 KILLING IN THE SECOND HALF, BOTH LEADING BY DOUBLE DIGITS  AND YET  UNABLE TO FINISH.  NO DAGGER, WELL ACTUALLY THERE WAS ONE TO THE FANS AND TO THE TEAM.  IF THEY CAN TAKE THIS AND LEARN THERE IS HOPE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KILL, THIS WASN'T 52-0 AT THE HALF WHERE YOU FIND COMPASSION IN YOUR OPPONENT IT WAS A MERE 24 POINT LEAD WITH ONE OF THE BEST FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACK TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE. A MVP AT THE HELM……. GAME WASN'T OVER IT WAS MERELY THE HALF.

XX1090 JUST AIRED NORV'S PRESSER, DEFINITELY WORTH SOME EARS TO HEAR BETWEEN THE LINES, HE GOT A LIL UNRAVELED WHICH IS ALSO A RARITY, FROM THE COMPOSED OR VERSED HEAD COACH.  MEDIA PRESSED DESERVINGLY SO FOR ANSWERS FOR YOU THE FANS.

A LONG 13 DAYS AS THE CHARGERS TRY AND FORGET THIS UNFORGETTABLE DISASTER THEN PREPARE FOR THE BROWNS WHO ARE GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH OUT MIKE HOLMGREN.

#MNF CHARGERS VS BRONCOS

IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THE CHARGERS WILL HOST THE PEYTON MANNING DENVER BRONCOS.

Peyton has stayed true to his species, from a Colt to a Bronco.

Chargers just edge over the Broncos in the 22 last meetings with 12 wins.

Variables or one specific to recon with is the missing link, Jared Gaither will not play.

Un drafted Bruin, Mike Harris will take command, now with a few games under his belt.
However not only the blindside is effected as the running game takes a toll too.

Running lanes, created by who??

San Diego has the NFL's 5th-ranked rush defense allowing an average of 74.0 yards
McGahee is only back to exceed 100 yards rushing in the last dozen games vs the Chargers.

Denver's defense has allowed an average of 120 yards a game, but can they make the lanes?

It is Monday Night Football however, and no matter what the Chargers seem to rise to the occassion along with matching up well with the former Colt leader, the pieces are different in Denver but Manning has something special to be reconned with.  Look for Shaun Phillips to have a big night and looking to see Atari Bigby and Eric Weddle to have a pick or two!

This is sound from last year, but MNF is MNF! Always exciting!

And the Chargers have a bye week just following tonight, thus you need to stick a win, to relish it for the week off, plus this is a Division Game!!

Roswell/ USA/ Red Bull Stratos/ Baumgartner’s record jump from edge of spaceRed Bull Stratos: Mission Accomplished
Austria's Felix Baumgartner earned his place in the history books on Sunday after overcoming concerns with the power for his visor heater that impaired his vision and nearly jeopardized the mission. Baumgartner reached an estimated speed of 1,137 km jumping from the stratosphere, which when certified will make him the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall and set several other records* while delivering valuable data for future space exploration.

ROSWELL, New Mexico - After flying to an altitude of 39,044 meters (128,097 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed Sunday morning a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger.
Baumgartner landed safely with his parachute in the desert of New Mexico after jumping out of his space capsule at 39,044 meters and plunging back towards earth, hitting a maximum of speed of 1,137 km/h through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his 4:19-minute long freefall. Baumgartner's jump lasted a total of 9:03 minutes. Countless millions of people around the world watched his ascent and jump live on television broadcasts and live stream on the Internet. At one point during his freefall Baumgartner appeared to spin rapidly, but he quickly re-gained control and moments later opened his parachute as members of the ground crew cheered and viewers around the world heaved a sigh of relief.

"It was an incredible up and down today, just like it's been with the whole project," a relieved Baumgartner said. "First we got off with a beautiful launch and then we had a bit of drama with a power supply issue to my visor. The exit was perfect but then I started spinning slowly. I thought I'd just spin a few times and that would be that, but then I started to speed up. It was really brutal at times. I thought for a few seconds that I'd lose consciousness. I didn't feel a sonic boom because I was so busy just trying to stabilize myself. We'll have to wait and see if we really broke the sound barrier. It was really a lot harder than I thought it was going to be."

Baumgartner and his team spent five years training and preparing for the mission that is designed to improve our scientific understanding of how the body copes with the extreme conditions at the edge of space.
Baumgartner had endured several weather-related delays before finally lifting off under bright blue skies and calm winds on Sunday morning. The Red Bull Stratos crew watching from Mission Control broke out into spontaneous applause when the balloon lifted off.
* The data on the records set by the jump are preliminary pending confirmation from the authorized governing bodies.

REUNIONS IN NEW ORLEANS WITH HAZARDOUS SAINTS

THE (3-1) SAN DIEGO CHARGERS FLY INTO THE BIG EASY TO A DANGEROUSLY DESPERATE (0-4) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS TEAM

STORY LINES GALORE

1.   BREES AND SURPASSING JOHNNY UNITAS' 52 YEAR RECORD.
IF HE THROWS A TOUCHDOWN PASS HE WILL HAVE 58 CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH AT LEAST ONE SCORING TOSS.  IF YOUR A SAINTS FAN, DO YOU EVEN CARE?? WHAT MOST LIKELY MAY OCCUR IS 4 PASS ATTEMPTS INSIDE THE RED ZONE, HOW DOES THAT SIT?  ONCE AGAIN DO YOU CARE? OR DOES THIS SEEM TO BE A SELFISH ACT?  DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF NEW ORLEANS LOSES??  YOU OPTING TO HAVE CELEBRATE YOUR QB AT THE COST OF THROWING ON YOUR PAPER BAG??  

2.   BREES AGAIN;   DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME, IT WILL END UP MATCHING UP ONE OF TWO WAYS, OR MAYBE JUST ONE, SAN DIEGO COULD OF GONE TO THE SUPERBOWL HAD THEY NOT RELEASED A MENDING DREW BREES AND STARTED FRANCHISE QB PHILLIP RIVERS?

2B.   MORE BITTERNESS COULD CONTINUE  FOR SAN DIEGO FANS AT THE LOSS OF 5'2 SPECIAL TEAMS ANOMALY,DARREN SPROLES, THAT IS IF SAN DIEGO LOSES.

3.   ROBERT MEACHEM FIRST TIME BACK SINCE HE'S IN THE BLUE IN GOLD, IMPACT MAKER VS HIS OLD TEAM?

4.   TRAP GAME....

BUT WHAT WORRIES ME, IS THE POWER OF PASSION AND VOLATILITY THAT COMES WITH A SCARED ANIMAL BACKED INTO A CORNER.  A TEAM WHO HAS DISPLAYED VANILLA DEFENSE, LOTS OF DROPPED PASSES, INT'S, SOFT UPFRONT ON BOTH LINES. 

THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS ONCE AGAIN IS BEHIND THE 8 BALL SITTING WITH ZERO WINS AS WEEK FIVE COMES TO A CLOSE.  IF YOUR A CHARGER FAN THAT SHOULD SCARE YOU!

WITH AN INTERIM-TO-THE-INTERIM HEAD COACH, AARON KROMER IN DURING SEAN PAYTON'S ABSENCE, D COORD LOSS, PLAYER LOSS, BREES'  CONTRACT HOLD OUT MAY HAVE AIDED HIM DIVIDENDS AT THE BANK, BUT IT LEFT NO ROOM FOR ANY OTA'S, NO PRACTICE, NO GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE WITH RECEIVERS.   NOTED AS A COACH,  AMPLIFYING THE ABUNDANT WOES THIS TEAM HAS DEALT WITH.  HURRICANE 2012, BUT LET ME REMIND YOU HOW THEY CAME BACK ,FOUGHT AND WON THEIR FIRST SUPER BOWL IN FRANCHISE HISTORY #43.  

WITH LOTS OF DIVERSION IN THE BIG EASY, ONE CAN'T FORGET, THIS IS A WILD TEAM, AT HOME ALREADY RE-REFERENCES LOOMING AS THE "AINTS".   BROWN BAGS MAY BE COMING OUT, BUT I DON'T DOUBT THAT THE SAINTS PLAYERS WON'T DO EVERY AND ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO HALT AND BEGIN CLEANUP ON THE DISASTER THAT HAS COMMENCED THEIR 2012 SEASON.  EVEN SAINTS ANNOUNCERS STATING "THEY'LL BE NO MIRACLES FOR THE SAINTS SO FAR"  

GOOD LUCK AT THE MERCEDES-BENZ SUPER DOME ON SUNDAY NIGHT SAN DIEGO!!
WITH EVERY WIN IN THE NFL BEING A BIG DEAL AND NOT AN EASY FEAT.
THIS WIN  COULD BE MUCH BIGGER THAN CONCEIVABLY POSSIBLE, A SHOWING OF WHAT THIS TEAM IS TRULY ALL ABOUT, ESPECIALLY GOING IN HUMBLY AS 3-POINT UNDERDOG.
SHOULD BE A DYNAMITE GAME!

ROCKEM SOCKEM CHARGERS!
