 This game means something to the rest of the football world, in that the winner will advance to the Pac-12 football championship. It amounts to a division championship, conference semi-final, and a path to the Rose Bowl. The Football championship will likely elude the winner, even if they win out as the Pac-12 champion. Group29 has been doing this for a long time, covering the UCLA-USC rivalry.

 The quote from Hilary Clinton is not quite correct, She did not have nearly that level of conviction.
On Friday October 24, Hilary was at a Democratic rally in Massachusetts.

I think Coach Kill did get some credit. Certainly, there
were lots of shots of him enjoying the moment. Nice hug by Jerry for Brady Hoke
at midfield, "I have been here man, I feel your pain." The Gophers vs
Wolverines was a little Ralphie vs Scut Farkus in there, I am sure. Heard some
rumors of some Minnesota resident Wolverine fans who have proudly flown their
big M flags for years now taking them down. Minnesota has been the nail to
Michigan's hammer for a long time. Certainly the Little Brown Jug trophy has
been held at Schembechler Hall for many years.

 Samantha Brown is a star on the Travel Channel. My wife picked up her Passport to Great Weekends : Collection 1 DVD at the library. It has a show for Las Vagas, where my wife hopes to warm up for a few days during this endless dreary Spring of 2014.

 A number of factors are conspiring to make this hobby less interesting and more difficult to sustain. The main lines from Mattel for Hot Wheels and Matchboxes are getting less collectible.

| UCLA has missed the Pac-12 championship game even after mounting a furious comeback against ASU. It would have been their greatest of all time. USC is on a five game winning streak now that Lane Kiffin has been unceremoniously dumped at LAX. Ed Orgeron is the coach to beat.

 I picked up my order of Blackwing Pearl pencils. As advertised, they are in the middle of the Blackwing 602 and the Blackwing (The Paliomino Blackwing).
Over the last two years, the Pencils.com web site has expanded their offerings to include other pencil manufacturers. |

The Group29 web site started with a bit of hubris, the premise that anyone could offer an opinion on movies and be a film critic. But the fact is that a true film critic has to be an accomplished writer, art lover, academic, and immerse oneself in the field.

For only the second time in 14 contests, UCLA has defeated arch-rival USC. This time the Pac-12 Championship game was on the line, for both teams. The probably was the expected outcome when the Pac-12 South Division was formed.
Is this a championship? Or are the division winners just representatives to the Championship?

In nine years of previewing, this is the first time the UCLA (17) has been ranked higher that USC (21) in the polls coming into the game. Up to this point, the Bruins have been subject to machetes, rock to the scissors, and a 50-0 blowout. There was one lone victory in 2006.

| I found the slide rule that belonged to my dad. He became an engineer in the 1950s. The internet has given me a lot of information about it.
It is a Keuffel and Esser ( K+E ) model number 4181-3. I found that was a plastic Log Log Duplex Decitrig. It must be from before 1962 when Keuffel and Esser changed all their model numbers. It is Made in U.S.A. - all plastic (trade name "Ivorite") stock, plastic cursor lens.
