‘Not so fast! Despite rumors that sexy supermodel Marisa Miller has been relieved of her duties at Victorias Secret, the brand says thats just not true. ‘The rumor about Marisa Miller and Victorias Secret parting ways is unfounded and untrue,’ Ed Razek, President and Chief Marketing Officer of Victorias Secret, says in a statement to PEOPLE. ‘We adore Marisa and we will continue to work with her in the future.’ Miller, who memorably modeled the brand’s iconic diamond bra in 2009, certainly feels the same way. ‘Its amazing to be a part of Victorias Secret,’ the model, 31, told PEOPLE at the brand’s annual fashion show in New York in November.’ – people magazine
I certainly think she is gorgeous, just like every other angel of Victorias Secret ’supermodel collection’ 
Perfect measurement, perfect body, hair, smile.. everything about these girls is so inspirational.
Along with that Victorias Secret is among my top brands once again for everything – clothes (VS has the most gorgeous and cute dresses in the world) the same thing for the shoes and the sandals… and the underwear.. ohh.. I feel happy only when I think about it.. that is weird..
And I even dont want to talk about their parfumes and accessories..
OK, I am happy Marisa Miller is still Victorias Secret angel, because she is fabulous
University of Washington (UW, usually called U-Dub) was founded in 1861 and is a public study university in Western Washington, USA
UW is the biggest university in the northwestern USA, one of the oldest universities on the west sea-shore and is one of the excellent study universities in the world.
The university has 3 campuses, with its flagship campus in Seattles University District and much less branch campuses in Tacoma and Bothell. Its operating budget for fiscal year 2005 was 3.1 billion.
The UW occupies over 500 buildings, with over 20 million gross square footage of space. The university is also considered a Public Ivy.
The Seattle City was one of few settlements in the mid to late 19th century vying for precedence in the newly formed Washington Territory.
In 1854, territorial governor Isaac Stevens recommended the location of a university in Washington. Several prominent Seattle-area residents, chief among them Methodist preacher Daniel Bagley, saw the siting of this University as a chance to add to the citys prestige.

‘Avatar,’ the movement picture filmmaker James Cameron has been working on for 4 years and planning for 15, his first movie since 1997s ‘Titanic,’ is indeed a gamechanger. It lifts the bar.
To begin, yes this is the epic visual masterpiece that youve all been waiting for and it succeeds in everything it tries to do (visually).The overall look is stunning beyond belief, the special effects are impeccable, Cameron got me to shed a tear and sit on the edge of my seat BUT the film isnt flawless, not by a long shot
The story is of Jake Sully, performed by Sam Worthington, of the year of 2154 where Jake Sully, a marine, looses his legs in a battle. Jakes twin brother who had to leave for a project on Pandora, a distant moon, dies unexpectedly and the authorities of the mission offer Jake his brothers place as the project requires a DNA match.
The Details: Normally in a film like this, you can see a few mistakes here and there, but I didnt catch any. From Sam Worthingtons tiny legs to the computers within the scenes every detail was thought out and used as a part of the environment. The best thing that Cameron did was allow for all his hard work to be incorporated into the wide shots without saying ‘hey look at this.’
There is a love story brewing between Sams Navi avatar with the Pandora princess (Zo Saldana) and soon he discovers an altogether new world. Literally. He wages a battle of his own with support from a handful of friends from sky people along with tribe members and animals belonging to all shapes and sizes.
Sam Worthingtons Hair: It sounds ridiculous, but this is another detail that really stood out. Normally youll notice that an actor is given a hairstyle that they can have throughout the entire film, but Worthingtons hair changed with every time shift in the movie and it always looked completely natural. Yet again, nice touch.
Its this vivid blurring of the real and the imaginary, the material world and the spiritual, thats at the heart of Camerons movie.
In his peculiar vision of utopia, technology and ecology fuse. On Pandora, electrical currents flow through the root systems of the trees.
Early Footage: Although it was fun to see early footage of the film a few months ago, it screws you over in the long run. The first 45 minutes of the film is all about being in awe of the environment. Its about reacting to everything around you, for the people who have seen the footage the experience isnt fresh and therefore it doesnt carry you as much as it should. For those of you who have abstained from any footage, youll soon be rewarded.

Last night, President Obama traveled to the oldest military academy in the United States to uncover his highly-touted strategy to bring safety to Afghanistan and excluded terrorist safe havens that intimidate the region and the world.
Emphasizing the need to provide the strategy and resources he said had been lacking since the United States went into Afghanistan, Obama claimed his war plan will provide whats needed to succeed and bring the U.S. mission there to an end.
Obama conceded that his strategy will have a profound impact on its most immediate audience: thousands of Army officers in training at the U.S. Military Academy who will be called on to carry it out.
In President Obamas plan according, the distribution of additional groups would factor in the present U.S. mark in Afghanistan, which comprises about 68,000 troops — a mixture of fight forces and trainers — spread throughout, but with the east and south serving as focal points. Troops under NATO’s order add a complement of 42,000 troops.
The strategy also demands much from Afghanistan, calling on Afghan President Hamid Karzai to help grow Afghan sureness forces rapidly, provide better governance at the local and popular levels. Deployment lengths for U.S. service members will remain about the same — seven months for Marines, and 12 months for soldiers. With the planned decrease in U.S. forces in Iraq to 50,000 by August 2010
In that way, Obama stated that only 30,000 more troops would be deployed, far fewer than the 60,000 originally requested by General Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commanding officer in Afghanistan, or the 40,000 many anticipated as a agreement.

Deep-fried turkey has its benefits: It cooks quickly. Its non-greasy. And its deliciously moist.
But getting that deep-fried turkey on the Thanksgiving table today can be a risky task if the cook is negligent.
County firemen and safety specialist are urging residents to oven-roast turkeys the traditional way and leave the deep-frying to Food Network pros..
Even if the taste of a deep-fried turkey is sure to please the palate, officials at Underwriters Laboratories worry backyard chefs are sacrificing safety for a tasty dish. They say the growing up number of fires related to turkey fryers is a risk that outweighs the benefits of the appliance.
In fact, the produce safety testing service has rated deep-frying a turkey as so risky, it will not certify any turkey fryers with the UL mark, said Division Chief Michael Cox, a US Fire Department spokesman..
By 9 p.m. Wednesday, 785,000 people had looked up turkey recipes at Allrecipes.com. For most of the day, the site was handling one million page views an hour.
‘We built server capacity for the day before Thanksgiving, then use only 50 percent of it the rest of the year,’ said Lisa Sharples, president of the site, which is based in Seattle.
For the last 5 years, Google searches for Thanksgiving recipes have climbed steadily, doubling from 2007 to 2008, according to results from Insights for Search, a tool that indexes the volume of Google search trends. . .
Dave Wannstedt – Charlie Weis Heading in Opposite Directions
Oh, how the tables have turned.
The two took very different paths to reach their current positions.
Charlie Weis also began his Notre Dame coaching career about four and a half years ago, but the circumstances were a little bit better.
In the fall of 2005, Weis and Wannstedt actually began their college head-coaching careers against each other.
But times have changed and these two coaches find themselves moving in opposite directions.
But then something strange happened: Pitt pulled it together and eked out a victory.. What do Florida Fans think about that.
Wannstedt and Weis are moving in different directions, like two ships passing in the night..
Good luck to them both.
What we learned
1. Dave Wannstedts teams are now capable of winning close games.
2. Rutgers has improved mightily since the beginning of the season.
3. Syracuse has not improved and is still the worst team in the Big East.
The 2009 Great American Smokeout is today and a spokesperson for the Iowa Chapter of the American Cancer Society is interrogation smokers to take a diverse near to the yearly event. A-C-S spokesman Chuck Reed says they are encouraging smokers to use the day as a starting point to the end.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 — For a lots of people, the 2009 Great American Smokeout means a new start but West Virginian Joe Balog sees it as a great ending. To Joe, each November is a milestone anniversary. This year hes celebrating 2 years of free smoking live. In November 07, Joe turned to Dan Vitchoff, Board Certified Hypnotherapist and President of PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, in what felt like a last straw to try to quit smoking forever.
Great Falls High School student Sara Stewart frequently hears from her peers that they believe they are immune to the effects of smoking.
‘I know that a lot of teenagers dont think smoke will affect them,’ Stewart said.
That was the thought behind her antismoking placard, which shows a woman with her left side looking young, while her right side looking elderly, gray and wrinkled.
Should Americans be worried about the raise in cigarette smoking? Yes. Smoking wreckers nearly each organ in the human body and is linked to at least 15 different kind of cancers. While, after to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking norm have stayed about alike for the past 5 years, anything short of a refuse is certainly troubling. wiki
Miami Dolphins – Ronnie Brown injury
The Dolphins season nearly came to an end earlier today.
It won’t be long the way things looked during a 25-23 win against the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Running back Ronnie Brown’s ankle tops the list because who’s going to replace him?
The Dolphins didn’t seem to miss LB Joey Porter much, either.
Quarterback Chad Henne showed some grit during his last-minute field-goal drive, making throws of 35 and 16 yards to Davone Bess.
Tampa Bay’s TD makes 96 points scored against Miami in the fourth quarter, second-worst in the NFL to Buffalo (101, including 24 Sunday).
Running back Ricky Williams had a big day, finishing with 102 rushing yards, capped by a 27-yard scamper to set up the game-winning FG.
1. Running back Lex Hilliard is likely to get his chance this week. But with no carries this season, will Hilliard be ready?
The Carolina defense should remember Hilliard. During the preseason he had a game-high 52 yards rushing against the Panthers, including a 39-yard burst down the sidelines.
Miami will need a strong running game against Carolina, whose own running game entered this week’s games leading the NFC in rushing. Just as Brown and Ricky Williams were a great 1-2 punch, Hilliard and Williams make for a tandem that could pound away at a Carolina run defense, which was ranked 23rd entering the weekend.
2. Linebacker Charlie Anderson made a bigger impact than Joey Porter has all season. But Anderson’s inconsistency, not his talent, has held him back.
{Anderson stepped in for Porter and had one of his best games in two seasons as a Dolphin, with five solo tackles, including a sack, and two forced fumbles.
Anderson, a sixth-year pro, showed big-time flashes a few times a season ago, highlighted by his performance in Toronto against Buffalo (four solos, a sack, two FFs). He followed it with nice outing against San Francisco, including a key sack late in the game.
Anderson has the size (6-4, 250) and speed few, if any, Dolphins can match off the edge. But he disappears too often and makes mental errors.
3. Kicker Dan Carpenter answered the challenge of training camp nemesis Connor Barth.
Barth did his job, and the team released him.
But the move made sense, given Carpenter had proven himself to be a consistent and clutch kicker for Miami as a rookie in 2008.
The guys dispise Florida.
