RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) – An autopsy showed an Arab teenager who Palestinians say was killed in a revenge attack was burned to death, officials said Saturday, while Palestinian militants fired two rockets toward a major southern city deeper into Israel than any other attack in the current round of violence.
The Israeli military said its "Iron Dome" defense system intercepted the rockets that were aimed at Beersheba. The military also said at least 29 other rockets and mortars were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel over the weekend. It said it had retaliated with airstrikes on militant sites in Gaza.
Clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters spread early Saturday from Jerusalem to Arab towns in northern Israel as hundreds of people took to the streets and threw rocks and fire bombs at officers who responded with tear gas and stun grenades, police said.
Palestinian Attorney General Abdelghani al-Owaiwi said he received initial autopsy results from a Palestinian doctor who was present at the autopsy in Tel Aviv. He said it shows that 16-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Abu Khdeir, whose death has sparked large protests in his east Jerusalem neighborhood, suffered burns on "90 percent of his body."
"The results show he was breathing while on fire and died from burns and their consequences," al-Owaiwi said.
His account provided the first details of the preliminary findings to be made public. The Israeli Health Ministry could not be reached for comment.
The autopsy found evidence that Abu Khdeir had breathed in the flames as burns were found inside his body, in his lungs, bronchial tubes and his throat, al-Owaiwi said.
He also said the young man had suffered wounds on the right side of his head apparently from impact with a rock or another hard object.
Abu Khdeir's charred body was found in a forest Wednesday after he was seized near his home. Palestinians immediately accused Israeli extremists of killing him to avenge the deaths of three Israeli teens who had been abducted and killed in the West Bank. Israeli police said an investigation is still underway and they have not yet determined who killed the boy or why.
Israeli leaders have widely condemned the killing of the Palestinian youth, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed those responsible would be brought to justice.
Palestinians took to the streets in protests after news of the boy's death on Wednesday and clashed with police in east Jerusalem. Riots erupted in east Jerusalem Friday as thousands of Palestinians massed for the boy's burial.
Near the town of Qalansawe, protesters also pulled over a car driven by an Israeli Jew on Saturday, pulled him out and set the vehicle on fire, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said. The driver was not injured. Several other Israeli cars were also torched, she said. Dozens of protesters were arrested across the country throughout the day.
Protests subsided by noon but resumed in the evening with violent demonstrations in several Arab towns in the north of the country, police said.
Israel's public security minister, Yitzhak Aharonovitch, visited areas of friction and said police would display "zero tolerance" toward those "who take the law into their own hands and harm innocent people."
Israeli Arabs, unlike Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, hold citizenship rights. But they often face discrimination and mostly identify with the Palestinians. Even so, violent riots like these are rare.
Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem also used an electric saw to damage the light rail that connects the heavily Arab populated eastern sector of the city with the mostly Jewish West, Samri said.
President Shimon Peres spoke with Arab leaders Saturday night in Israel urging calm. "We must unite to prevent tragedies and loss of life. Together we can lower the flames and protect the innocent people, he said.
The chaos began after three Israeli teenagers, one of whom was a U.S. citizen, were abducted in the West Bank on June 12, sparking a huge manhunt that ended with the gruesome discovery of their bodies earlier this week.
In a separate incident, relatives told The Associated Press that Abu Khdeir's 15-year-old cousin Tariq, a U.S. citizen who goes to school in Florida, was beaten by police during clashes on Thursday ahead of the funeral. The U.S. Consulate had no immediate comment on the report.
The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on the U.S. Department of State to demand that Israel immediately release Khdeir.
In Washington, a State Department spokesperson said an official from the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem had visited Khdeir on Saturday.
"We are profoundly troubled by reports that he was severely beaten while in police custody and strongly condemn any excessive use of force," the spokesperson, Jen Psaki, said in a statement released Saturday. "We are calling for a speedy, transparent and credible investigation and full accountability for any excessive use of force."
She also expressed concern about "the increasing violent incidents" and urged Israelis and Palestinians "to take steps to restore calm and prevent harm to innocents."
Khdeir's parents, Suha and Salah, said Tariq was detained but had been treated at an Israeli hospital. They released photos showing his face swollen and badly bruised.
Samri, the Israeli police spokeswoman, said that Tariq Abu Khdeir had resisted arrest and attacked police officers. He was detained with a slingshot in his possession used to hurl stones at police, along with six other protesters, including some armed with knives, she said, adding that several officers were hurt in that specific protest, one of many that day.
Tariq's father said he witnessed his son's arrest and insisted the boy was not involved in the violence.
Amateur video of what he said was the beating aired on a local television station, and he said he could recognize his son from his clothing.
The channel that aired it, Palestine Today, is funded by Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad, a militant group that has carried out suicide bombings and other attacks aimed at civilians.
Other footage shows uniformed men dragging someone on the ground.
The face of the person cannot be seen in either video, and the circumstances leading up to the beating are not shown.
Israel's justice ministry said an investigation had been opened over the footage.
The rocket fire on Beersheba Saturday was the first since 2012, which came during intense fighting between Israel and Gaza militants.
Israel launched a massive crackdown on the Islamic militant group Hamas after the abduction of the Israeli teens, while retaliatory Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli airstrikes intensified. The military says Palestinian militants have fired more than 150 rockets at southern Israel, and it has responded with airstrikes on more than 70 targets in Gaza.

On the contemporary art market – Expertise, Marketing and Money
"If all signs are autonomous and refer only to one another, it must seem to follow that no image is truer or deeper than the next, and that the artist is absolved from his or her struggle for authenticity."– Robert Hughes, 1989
Tom Wolfe, one of America's greatest living writers, recently had his latest work, Back to Blood, excerpted in Vanity Fair. In it, the author excoriates the miasma of power, money, influence and ignorance that surrounds the contemporary art market. Wolfe describes the billionaires descending on Art Basel Miami as a "raveling, wrestling swarm of maggots". What has become of art, its pursuit and its collection?
The pursuit of excellence can sometimes can be a quixotic quest, all the more so when dealing with something as ephemeral as art, and particularly with the contemporary art market today. But how does excellence, or authenticity, in art cope with a nexus of questionable experts and highly liquid but bifurcating market, in a world where promotion is all?
Part of this problem resides in the question of expertise, its influence and its value. If one thinks of artists in the period of the Italian Renaissance, the quality of the fresco or sculpture is mostly self-evident in the verisimilitude of the work. Moreover, the media worked with often necessarily involved painstaking, long-term commitment and toil. What artists like Marcel Duchamp began and Andy Warhol perfected was the thought that works of art should be valued by their conceptualism. In other words, not necessarily how much time or effort was put into making an object, or whether it was any "good", aesthetically speaking, but with more emphasis on the power of the underlying idea – representation – behind the work. "Art can be expressed purely as a thought or action", wrote the FT recently. This postmodern concept has not evolved since the time of Warhol. Without being able to critique the amount of expertise in the manufacturing of an object, it becomes harder to address the worth of an object, unless you are in the presence of a designated 'expert'. The situation risks creating an echo chamber of unedifying art that speaks to no-one and is so self-reflexive it loses all meaning. It also allows for an artificial inflation of prices, creating a false market that shuts out all but the ultra-rich, whose tiny but influential numbers can significantly skew the market. One need only look at how much the Chinese taste for wine is influencing global production to see such an instance in action.
Such points were neatly summed up recently by the prestigious art critic and lecturer Dave Hickey, when he announced he was leaving the art world:
Writers, dealers, curators, advisers have become "a courtier class – intellectual headwaiters to very rich people". For this 0.01%, "art is cheaper than it's ever been" but "nobody cares if it's any good, and everybody hates it when something's really great"
The 'experts' who assign value to contemporary art objects have come full circle. Rightly recognising that there is art worth shouting about beyond an arbitrary, Westernised canon, it has now gone too far in the other direction. As a brilliant FT article on the subject recently pointed out, "The market loves theory because it spares the need for discrimination." Making matters worse, the article quotes gallerist David Zwirner lamenting, "connoisseurship is really not valued, sometimes it is even looked down upon". All of which leads to a highly fragile concentration of expertise and financial capital sitting with a select few. If we look again at the wine industry, American wine critic Robert Parker was at one time so influential that growers in France began changing their product purely to suit his taste so as to earn a higher rating on his guide. Zeitgeist asked art critic Brian Sewell at a debate earlier this year whether influential patrons such as Charles Saatchi and Francois-Henri Pinault were playing a similar role in the contemporary art world; shifting value perceptions of art and artists according to their personal whim. It helps little when major collectors like Frank Cohen admit publicly that they have "bought a load of bullshit". The quotation may sound flippant, but it underscores the massive influence the bullshit they have bought has on the broader prices in the art market.
Art adviser Lisa Schiff spoke openly about this recently to Forbes magazine, saying she was "worried that there are a lot of young artists that could really take a nosedive".This influence is being felt keenly right now with small but highly influential – and influenced – groups of buyers in Russia, Brazil and China. But as the BRIC regions continue to stall, what will happen to arbitrarily in-demand art and artists if these markets suffer further losses or even a sudden shock? Such problems are further compounded by the massive rise and fear of litigation, as previous, bona fide experts able to certify works as being genuine are being scared away by the threat of legal action.
So there's an expertise fallacy here, one which is not restricted to the world of art. Elsewhere, marketing, something that admittedly has always been part of the selling of art to an extent, is becoming increasingly essential for a successful artist or studio. The Montoya exhibition currently on at The Halcyon Gallery in London represents the epitome of this new trend. Full-page ads in The Economist and 30-second spots on CNBC (see beginning of article) are being taken out for the exhibition, placed seemingly without irony at the feet of the very audience the art seems to be mocking, or at least parodying. It is the increasing lack of ironic awareness that creates an emptiness in the purchase and reputation of some of today's bigger artists, including Jeff Koons, Richard Prince and Takashi Murakami. Interestingly, the latter two have both seen stratospheric success that goes beyond the confines of the art world, helped in part by collaborations with luxury goods company Louis Vuitton.
The marketing of art is at its most visible at contemporary art fairs – of which there are now more than 200 annually around the world – mentioned earlier as a subject of Tom Wolfe's new work. Frieze, which takes place annually in London, is one of the most well-known. It was intriguing to see that this year saw the debut of Frieze Masters, which some saw as an attempt to breathe new life into an event that had begun to lose its ability to surprise. It was also seen as a deliberate attempt to focus attention on more established names in order to avoid some of the volatility the market has seen with newer, less-known artists. So the market isn't so insular that it doesn't recognise the need for significant change.
Collecting art is something that few of us can turn into a committed past-time. Moreover, the vagaries of art over the past ten years-plus have been such that only a select few would be able to decipher the worth of a current artist's produce. The value of their art has been dulled by demographic shifts and concentrations, by overly-excessive marketing tactics and by a reduction and muddling of the nature of what it means to be an expert. Regulation of the sector seems overdue, as conflicts of interest and an oligopolistic marketplace seem to cry out for legal oversight. Some of these problems are not restricted to the art world and it will be interesting to see if a paradigm shift sits on the horizon. The Internet is providing some antidote to this. Recent online-only auctions by Christies – one of ArtInfo's top ten stories that moved the art market in 2012 – have made the process of bidding for items extremely popular, and small art-sellers like Exhibition A are illustrating there is room for innovation in the industry. Is the art market in an aesthetic and financial bubble, and will it burst? Time will tell.

The cholera outbreak that has so far killed 4,888 people in Haiti was caused by a strain "very similar but not identical" to current South Asian strains, a U.N. independent panel of experts said. The source of the outbreak was due to contamination of the Meye Tributary of the Artibonite River, used by tens of thousands of people for washing, bathing, and drinking.
Many people in Haiti blamed the epidemic on U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal, who had been accused of poor sanitation at their base near Mirebalais, the town where the epidemic first began. In November 2010, this lead to violent protests against the UN peacekeeping forces. Others believed that the outbreak was linked to voodoo. More than 50 voodoo followers have been killed since the outbreak of cholera following accusations that they spread the disease with occult power. However, U.N. panel declined to point the finger at any single group for the outbreak, saying it was the result of a «confluence of circumstances».
"The introduction of this cholera strain as a result of environmental contamination with faeces could not have been the source of such an outbreak without simultaneous water and sanitation and health-care system deficiencies," the report concludes.
The UN panel of experts provides several recommendations to the U.N. and the Haitian government including:
- UN staff and other relief workers travelling from cholera-endemic areas should either receive a prophylactic dose of appropriate antibiotics before departure or be screened for cholera strains
- UN peacekeeping missions operating in areas with cholera outbreaks should ensure that staff be immunized with oral vaccines, receive prophylactic antibiotics, or both,
- the UN should install and supervise their own on-site sanitation systems that inactivate pathogens before disposal
- the Haitian Government and the UN should prioritise investing in piped, treated drinking water supplies and better sanitation throughout the country; and until this can be put in place, they should promote household water treatment, hand washing with soap, and the safe disposal of faecal waste.
Read the full report of the UN Independent Panel of Experts on the Cholera Outbreak in Haiti.
According to estimates from the Health and WASH Clusters, US$ 39.38 million is still neededto respond to essential needs of the cholera response in the areas of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and health. This unfunded requirement is part of the general US$ 175 million cholera appeal which is so far 48 per cent funded, according to the latest UN Humanitarian Bulletin for Haiti.

Science and Situationism Praised on Huffington Post Blog
Posted by The Situationist Staff on March 17, 2012
From Huffington Post and Cornell Sun (By Sebastian Deri):
As someone who was better at English and history than math and science in high school, what I chose to study in college was partly an effort to shy away from the latter fields and take refuge in "softer" subjects. "Leave the questions of science to the scientists, I am concerned with justice and morality," we, who chose humanities, said! These two domains were exclusive — "non-overlapping magisteria" as Stephen Jay Gould might say. No meaningful dialogue between the disciplines was possible or necessary.
This attitude, however, is lazy and destructive — or at best, hopelessly antiquated.
The scientific study of human behavior is shedding new light on our actions and inner life. To ignore these insights is not just a mistake. It is criminal.
I'm on our school's mock trial team and have done mock trial for seven years now. There was a point at the beginning when I really felt that I was crusading on the side of righteousness in a system optimized for delivering justice. But eventually, I came to realize the solutions being offered in the courtroom simply could not get to the heart of the matter in the way science could. This realization came not from inside a courtroom, but rather from a brain scientist writing in a magazine.
In an article in The Atlantic, "The Brain on Trial," David Eagleman makes the case that we must wade out of the swamp of the medieval machinations of our legal system — obsessed with the ancient and largely useless preoccupation with assigning blame.
He cites a seemingly straightforward pedophilia case. Eagleman describes the case of a 40-year-old man who "developed an interest in child pornography" and began to make "subtle sexual advances toward his prepubescent stepdaughter." Eventually he was sent to prison. It was only after the discovery and successful removal of a tumor in his brain that he was able to abandon his pedophilia. Eagleman explains, "When your biology changes, so can your decision-making and your desires. The drives you take for granted… depend on the intricate details of your neural machinery." Eagleman argues that "we can build a legal system more deeply informed by science, because when modern brain science is laid out clearly, it is difficult to justify how our legal system can continue to function without taking what we've learned into account."
But, David Eagleman is a neuroscientist. Of course he would be inclined to make such a grandiose claim for his discipline. Well, we are hearing the same calls from within the law.
Jon Hanson is Law Professor at Harvard. He has a bachelor's degree in Economics and a degree in law. Yet, eventually his studies in law — and specifically the tobacco industry — led him to abandon this field for the study social psychology, social cognition and other mind sciences.
He has since founded "The Project on Law and the Mind Sciences" at Harvard Law School and advocates for his version of the theory he calls "situationism." As though it were coming straight from the mouth of Eagleman, Hanson writes that situationism "is premised on the social scientific insight that the naïve psychology… on which our laws and institutions are based is largely wrong. Situationists… seek first to establish a view of the human animal that is as realistic as possible before turning to legal theory or policy. To do so, situationists rely on the insights of scientific disciplines."
And those insights are impossible to ignore. Take the MAO-A gene. Having a certain form of this gene (the low MAO-A gene), when combined with childhood mistreatment, significantly increases your chances of becoming violent. Yet, I have only ever heard of one case where such evidence was even up for discussion. In response to that evidence, the D.A. said, "The more of this information that you put before a jury, the [greater the] chances of confusing them." In other words, the claim is not that such evidence is irrelevant, but rather we are too stupid to handle it. How condescending and pessimistic. Even the prosecution's rebuttal expert claimed "it's way too early to use this research in a court of law." If we are ever to progress morally and socially we cannot afford to hold such views.
Not just our legal system, but our political system too could use an injection of scientific reasoning. Many political claims are testable scientific hypotheses and ought to be treated as such. To support the "war on drugs," for example, under the claim that it reduces crime and drug use is to make a scientifically testable and falsifiable hypothesis. Of course, the data is messy and experiments hard to come by, but the very act of framing these as scientific questions will help us hack through this choking epistemic relativism in which everyone is entitled to an opinion by virtue of the fact that their justification may correspond to a possible version of reality. The world is not essentially unknowable. And the tools of science can help us peer into the eyes of reality. And from that reality, we should build our society.
I'm not worried that we run the risk of ignoring science as a great tool in our legal system, political debates or moral reasoning. Its encroachment into these domains is inevitable. The question is how quickly we're going to embrace it rather than resist it at the cost of progress. With great gusto and speed, not only must scientists become lawyers, politicians and preachers but lawyers, politicians and preachers must become scientists.

LOS ANGELES – Sammy Hagar, former lead singer for Van Halen, told MTV that he was abducted by aliens.
In an interview for his new book, "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock" at mtvhive.com, Hagar confirms what he told WWN last week – that he was abducted by aliens.
Hagar said he saw a UFO land in his backyard in Los Angeles and then he was abducted – and raped.
Hagar explained that a passage in the book described what he first thought was a dream in which he was contacted by aliens from Planet Zeeba and then – they came down to California to meet him in person and – rape him.
"It was real," Hagar told WWN. "They plugged into me. It was a download situation … they downloaded on me, and then they uploaded something from my brain. They used my brain and my body."
Hagar goes on to describe another experience at the age of four where he saw an alien space ship in broad daylight hovering over a country field where his family lived.
Some have speculated that rhe rock guitarist and vocalist is just having an acid flashback, but John Malley, the leading expert on the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials confirmed that UFOs have landed in California. He also examined Hagar and said, "Sammy has The Mark of the Alien on his left arm. He clearly has made contact with aliens from Planet Zeeba."
Maybe Sammy's relationship with aliens explains this:

David Archuleta ~ Play by Play Live and Unplugged
Posted by djafan on Friday, November 18, 2011
By Skydancer/Staff Writer
I have an ODD ritual during my work week. I like to have lunch with David. We have a special place we go, sitting outside under a nice big shade tree during these lovely fall days. OK, so sometimes it's a small parking lot shaded by a tree and a small area of grass to sit on, across the street from my building. But David sings to me, as I eat my lunch. We are alone. ♥ Occasionally during inclement weather, we sit in my car. Whatever. It's a wonderful break during my day to have the opportunity to De-stress, and feed my ODD and David's voice can take me away, better than any Calgon bath ever could.
Anyway, last Saturday I parked the car, reached for David, but he was nowhere to be found. DANG IT! I checked around for his Cds. Nope, what the heck? Oh yeah, took them out when I was cleaning the car..dang it again. Disappointed, I unwrapped my sandwich and turned on the radio… and was quickly reminded that it was Saturday and college football rules the airwaves.
I halfway listened for a minute, grumbling under my breath… the 2 announcers were getting pretty fired up over a bad call. As excitement and tension built in their voices, such detail of every play and its setup, a thought occurred to me…these people "ain't got nothin'" on David's fans! Spend a Saturday night in "Unplugged" at The Voice, and we'll show you some real in-depth analysis! And as I laughed out loud at the thought, my mind wandered off to a place where only my state of ODD could take me…and to a David concert…somewhere….
Pre-concert interview with the local press:
David, welcome to our town!
Aww, thanks. Happy to be here.
David, tell us, how does it feel to be quarterbacking your own team in 2011?
Feels great, thanks!
Any regrets?
Not at all… it was time to move on as a free agent. I have some very talented musicians on my team now.
I'm sure they love playing for you David, who wouldn't??
Aw, thank you.
Great haircut David, lookin' good buddy!
Well, I used a little gel….
David, your fans say you have the best hands in the business…. but that's not my question. (blush) do you plan your killer "moves" ahead of time?
Huh? What moves?
BWAHAHA! (hes joking right?)
Oh, HA! Well, I just like to sing you know. I guess when I really get into a song, I may make a few subtle moves here and there. I don't know. It just kind of happens I guess.
You've got a stadium full of fans out there David. There's lots of 'marry me David!' signs around. Any chance we'll see you throw out that killer look to someone tonight? See your future in a beautiful face?
I'm concentrating on music right now…but you never know. I guess it could happen…well, have to go now…it's time to sing.
Have a great concert David. By the way…you are drop dead gorgeous.
Yes David…you!♥
Later, in the announcer's booth, two fans broadcasting the event:
Hey guys! We're coming to you LIVE on radio station ODD 101 AM on your dial, sharing my booth with a new fan… first concert. Are you excited Betty?
EEEEP! OK, yeah well. Betty's ready! And here we go!! "Archies ARE YOU READY FOR A CONCERRRRT!??"
The team is coming out on the stage…on the stage now… and the packed stadium is screaming so loud!
They are chanting now, David!! David!! David!! Oh man, the lights are out! More screaming…the band is playing his intro…and hereheCOMES!EEEK! Pink open shirt, thin white T tucked into jeans, belt, dark comfy shoes (hey, its my article) GAH! I mean who looks like that? Look at that huge smile, those eyes, that hair! that strut!…oh, sorry. Calling the first play now, looks like he's opening with TMH! That's a crowd pleaser, and it gets him pumped! Look at that finger point, oops…lost a fan on that one! haha and the one behind her and the one behind that one! I think they call that the the domino effect. Betty, can you believe that energy!?
Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe that VOICE! OK, what play is coming next? TOSOD! He's swinging those arms all over the place..ooh, a quick back-step, crazy motion to his head, a turn, diggin in…wait for it.. GAHHHH!! Where was I? We are going right into the second play. He's looking to cover more ground.. now…1stDOWN! 2ndDOWN! 3rdDOWN! 4thDOW…OWOWWN! ♫ MJ hop! The crowd is singing along with him. OK, get ready for it. Here comes a signature Archuleta play. ARHHHHHG!!!! Yes!! Did you see how high those kicks were people??!!!! Huh? What? Time out? Fans are asking…OK, seems the Archies have requested an instant replay on that move folks…Whoa!
And it's Elevator now…going up, down, pointing… he's added a lot to this one. He is amazing. We need some crowd participation for this one and he is gonna ask for it people! Is the crowd with him?? Of course they are! bwaaaaah! Just kidding folks. Woo hoo!!! They are doing their part! What a great crowd!! Wait, there has been a whistle blown and flag. What the random? Security is checking the crowd down in the front rows. Seems there was some sideline fan activity. Ahh ok, lets hear the call…"Chair Scooting." Turns out to have been a good move, no penalty!! Oh these fans here tonight are too clever. Betty!? Whats that? Eeeeeep? Yeah, yeah, I agree. Jump in any time Betty… OK, David has called a 5 second time out for a drink of water. What is coming next, GGTT…would you look at that shoulder action! I can't take it, and what's this? Sending out an SOS?? How brilliant was that!! The man does cover songs like no one else in the business! "YOU OWN THAT SONG NOW DAVID!" Oops, 'scuse me. Forgot I had a mic.
Now what? Oooooh did you see that hand pump? OH MY, he is in total control tonight everyone! Locked down that move. He's feelin' it. He is in the zone!! Betty, you're drooling a little bit girlfriend. Here, have a bib. Whew, he's sweating. Looks like he is slowing things down to introduce the team. Good strategy. Mark is covering him on keyboard…yea Mark! Ben's backing him up on on bass..yea Ben! And Steven is masterful on those drums…yea Steven! Appears to be a rotating position for the guitar player. Don't recognize this guy, but he's doin' a great job for our quarterback tonight. OH MY GOSH! He pulled off a, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! a a a a a a DANCE move, was that? was it? what was it?? It was amazing that's what it was!! I knew he would have some trick up his sleeve, the man is on fire tonight! That was the best moment of this whole night! He has scored some amazing plays but that may just be the highlight of the evening for me! He winds it down and finishes with a fist pump to the beat! Awesome! David is awesome! No doubt he's the boss on that stage. Oh My, he is singing Heaven now. Fans can't hold back their love. They are all on their feet now. We had 14 amazing plays, and its all over now, ending with his signature CRUSH, FTW!
So Betty how was your first live concert, LIVE with David Archuleta?
Betty? uh…Betty?…ruh roh. HA! ♫ ♪ Welcome tooooo yourrrrrrrrrr life! ♪ ♪ ♫

Your post is so funny, Skydancer! Loved it all, especially when I got to "chair scooting"!! I could just picture it since I had the fun to be part of it in AZ! I do love football and this was a good "play by play" description! I have to say that I love David more than football and would much rather see a game of "Live with David Archuleta" any day, any time! Oh, those moves, those special steps, those songs, that voice!!!!! David, you're so dang talented!!! You totally take the place of 11 guys on the field…er stage!!!!
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 7:47 AM

Friday, November 18, 2011 at 11:52 AM
Roaring cheers for Sky! I felt like I was sitting on the 50 yd line, watching our MVP wow everyone in the stands! Give the game ball to Sky!
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 3:30 PM
"Huh? What moves?" Ha! Ha! Sky, you crack me up! I can seriously hear him saying that!
You can't imagine how much I was needing this humorous article. You have "ticked all the boxes" in accomplishing what I couldn't seem to muster; a big ole' belly laugh! Thanks! This is a truly fun read that I plan on returning to…often!
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 5:18 PM
Congrats on your first article!! 🙂
♫ Take me out to the ballgameeeee ♫ … , now this is my kind of game. And your article scored a TOUCHDOWN!! I love your sense of humor and this article is such fun! Win Win Win!!

Loved the whole thing, start to finish. Great article!
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 6:27 PM
Sky, you are one funny girl. 🙂
Thanks for the laugh. 🙂
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 6:30 PM
Have some fun pics posted by VIP Nation on their facebook page. These are from the CFTH Tour. 🙂
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 7:10 PM
I have a little story to tell about something that happened today. It's still on my mind, and I thought you guys would like it. I certainly do. 🙂
I work in a store, and this time of year we always have the Salvation Army collecting money just outside our doors.
Today we had a new bell ringer. Just a young, poor kid wearing a hoodie. And I hope he comes back. Because he decided to sing all day long. He has an amazing voice (shockingly good) – very much like a young Luther Vandross. It was very cold and windy, but he sang Christmas carols all day long. Every time the door opened I could hear him. And every time someone dropped money into the kettle, he stopped singing and said "Bless you"
A very old lady came in the store, pushed by her son in her wheelchair and said to me "His voice is so calming, it just makes me feel good."
My little story for the day.
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Have a picture of David with the Invisible Children crew, today.
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 9:27 PM
Sky, I have a real, I-don't-care-one-bit-for-football play by plays, but this had me rolling with laughter. This kind of play-by-play I can take over and over. Good job, girlfriend!! 😉 I'm kind of likin' the tag.. 'We don't need no stinkin football'. No we don't…we've got David! Gimme a D- A -V- I -D, goooooo DAVID!
Thanks for this fun time.
Djafan–when I saw that pic #19 this morning before I went to work, I nearly passed out. Then I had to seriously study it. I need someone explain to me the incredible look in David's eyes. I don't recall ever seeing this look before. I feel he is in a very serious learning and listening moment with Mannheim Steamroller. He is just not in this world at that moment, imho. This has got to be on the top of my list of favorite photos. ♥♥ *sigh & hand to heart*
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 10:02 PM
Dja, I was wondering about that as well. And according to Twitter, he just dropped into the IC office with his arms full of pizzas. 🙂
He is such a good and thoughtful man.
Love him.
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 10:02 PM
19. Dja, good grief!
OK now. hmmmm
Question … With THAT voice and THAT face now, what's he gonna be like in 5 years? Can you even imagine?
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM
Tx Nancy,Bebe,Angel,MT,Betsy Dja, Abrra, thank you guys for your comments, I so enjoy laughing with you!!♥ We all speak ODD here so its so much fun sharing thoughts with you all, that we have all experienced!. I have heard some of the funniest things EVER from you guys that have kept me laughing for days, because we are all in the same David boat! haHA! :)) The Love Boat!
and to Angelica, thank you for giving a title to my post,and for the beautiful pictures of David in his pink shirt,to go along with it! ,and the cheering crowd♥ 🙂
19.Dja♥ gulp! yes David you you you! holy moley!
Friday, November 18, 2011 at 11:05 PM
Tawna, ."He is just not in this world at that moment, imho." no, no, he isn't , you are right.The picture has me totally mesmerized…its beautiful.and his face, those eyes. He is so..fascinating.
MT "Question … With THAT voice and THAT face now, what's he gonna be like in 5 years? Can you even imagine?"
No MT, can't even!
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 12:18 AM
Looks like I have alot of catching up to do on these last 2 threads. Scrolled through and took a gander at pics though.
This is getting out of hand and he needs to stop now.
(#19 defies words, period.)
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:45 AM
oh my! pick one?? Hard to remember whats there now, when you are watching these closeups! Unless the ones you have on deck already are close enough to see if his tonsils were inflamed,all of the above are thudworthy.oh, and the audio is really great too:)
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:49 AM
Abrra you have just made a new agenda for my Saturday morning. There goes my good intentions for playing housewife and doing housewifey things.
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 1:59 PM
I really enjoyed the vlog, he makes you laugh right with him and doesn't he stare right into your eyes?
Sky, that was a most unique concert/game experience. So much fun!!
"Shu Yee from Archuleta Avenue Malaysia
Sandy – John handed the bracelets you sent for me to take to Singapore to be shared with all the Archies! Well, as you know … we didn't make it to Singapore:-(( We are planning to have a gathering on the first weekend of December and hopefully there will be a good turn out. We can give out the bracelets and have a photo session! I will reserve some for the Singapore and Pilipino Archhies too! Will update you with photos!
By the way, the bracelets are awesome! thank you so much!!! "
It is nice to make a connetction with the fans who share in the same journey with David.
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 3:11 PM
SB, That was a lovely thing to do, and I know they really appreciate it. It's so nice that David's fans are willing to share and to reach out to each other in so many ways.
That vlog … smiley, distracted, early morning David. You can't help laughing with him. His vlogs never fail to make me smile. And what a sweetheart, his day off he spends going to the IC offices. ♥
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 3:20 PM
Sky; You have such a wonderful eye for details …. just loved every riveting word! Will you be going to any MKOC shows because if not, you need to go in my place to capture and report back every glorious, heartfelt, tantalizing play-by-play!
Djafan, Abrra; Pic # 19 and videos # 30 … no wonder I'm totally useless … it's your guys fault, hehe (… going back for another look!)
SB; It's pretty neat to see how far your bracelet's have traveled! Wouldn't it be cool to know if any of the European fans have gotten it?
Then there's David's vlog. It never fails how he makes me smile and how good he is for me to maintain a happy heart. Forget the vitamins, lol, I'll take a daily dose of "D" any day!
Bebe; You're so right about David being "the man of thousand faces". Sometimes I wonder if he is the same person or not. Amazing how he can "morph" into a different expression or look a different age even in the same series of photo's taken in one moment.
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 3:33 PM
MT; Just saw your comment about David's vlog … I guess we both have the same smiley thoughts! 🙂
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 6:53 PM
40. Blueberry Ice,
Yup, Mr Smiley sure does have that effect on us, doesn't he? 😉
No matter how bad my day, I know I can come here and you guys and David will make me smile. 🙂
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 7:54 PM
Signed GCT cd giveaway. 🙂
Go to his FB page and comment under the GCT post.
Or go to his OS. One or the other the directions say.
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Just got home and that vlog!! Thank you, David♥ I really needed that tonite. It is so funny, the stuff that happens when he makes his vlogs There is always something …a bug flying at him an airplane flying overhead,, a cat catching his view, a squirrel,a stuffed gorilla in a closet.,a sister being violent with her pumpkin,a keyboard crashing to the floor and on and on.. He is so dang funny! I was laughing so hard when the noises started with the lawnmower! hahaha! What a joy he is!♥
SB♥ so cool about the bracelets being received overseas. Those bracelets may be just about the best idea ever!
Blueberry Ice ok I will go! hahaha. Looking for a delicious recap from you btw. I love how you express yourself, always have♥
Bebe. haha you are not crazy,.he's a chameleon!
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Remember this? <33
I still can't let this song go.
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 8:51 PM
Same with this…
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 8:53 PM
#30 Abrra – Falling Stars vid. Especially 3.00 to the end.
Dear David:
You know, there are times when I dislike watching you sing. When I see you struggle with the notes and I know (I imagine that I know) that you are cringing inside as they can't help but just come out wrong sometimes. That is life. Or flying fatigue. Or the time of day. Or whatever. It just happens sometimes. To all of us: we can't always say what it its that we want to say. We can't always communicate what we hear inside. Sometimes the vessel that delivers is just less than the might of sound it would convey.
So sometimes it hurts me to watch you struggle. I don't like it. Would I change that if I could? Probably. Which is why God won't let me. Not with you, not with others that I love. Not a tiny bit. *sigh*
Guess God must feel that you are able to handle it. And rise. Guess sometimes we feel Him with us even more when the notes we expect and are used to fail us, and we have to search for new ones. Even God never repeats a sunset. And some are blanked with clouds of storm. Searching for light at such times only seems to make that light more dear. Listening can hold new import when sound is pressed from both struggle and faith. At such times my "repertoire" had better include a few steps into the unknown.
I thank you for the music you make when things are less than perfect. I thank you for each note. For the possibilities each one extends as part of the experience of the wholeness and brilliance of life.
Acceptance of it all and willingness to extend – come what may – had better become "my kind of perfect"
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:00 PM
48.Bluesky, what you wrote is so beautiful. You just made me cry.♥
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:16 PM
49. Skydancer.. I really liked your article. Kudos to you.. do many more!!
50. Abrra.. You are one of the best. ^_ ^ I appreciate your kindness. I appreciate feeling welcome in your "house".
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Goodness, Bluesky, #48 is beautiful. I've always felt like I'm the only one who 'cringes' when a David song isn't perfect. When there's a missed note or a struggle, for whatever reason, that causes a skip in my heart. Now I know that I'm not alone. You said it so well. Thank you.♥♥
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 11:29 PM
Dam has finally posted the next round of the Idol Tournament Finale. This round features makeovers. Please vote for David!
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 11:45 PM
Sky—I'm late on commenting on your hoot-icious ( new word) article.
I really enjoyed your play by play commentary and had several great laughs—but my fav–is when the fans drew a penalty flag for " chair scooting". 😛
WE all know there is no defense when David takes the field (stage), with all his smiles, charm, charisma, moves and of course that voice.
So to anybody that thinks there is a way not to get gobsmacked, I suggest they drop back fifteen yards and dig a trench!! 😉
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 9:58 AM
#48 Bluesky.
I really wish David could read what you wrote. I really do.
Thank you.
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 12:39 PM
sky (resident comic), totally loved your article, it's creativity, genius and wit. 🙂
bluesky, that is going in my personal archives. You are love.♥
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 12:49 PM
Bluesky, your words flow from somewhere that remind me of how David sings live. Someplace deep is brought to the surface for us to enjoy. Thanks so much for posting here so I can reap the benefits of both your writings and all things David!
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Bluesky, you have me in tears. The love for David flows off the screen with every word. I watched every video and I'm in awe of his courage and commitment to his performances. But you have put into words the admiration, respect and unconditional love we all have for David. Thank you.
Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 2:10 PM
David gave a shout out his Singapore fans and had them in tears on twitter.

A big shout out to all the Singapore fans! Just wanted to say I'm thinking of all of you and can't wait to see you all again!
David must be on his way to Utah.

Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 11:09 PM
Well you are all so good with your thoughts and prayers that I thought that I would ask for a little help from you in that way. A young girl about 6 hours away from me just wrote that she had taken in a young labrador retriever who was obviously abandoned. He is very small and hungry. She was told that he could stay in her house until he got into the garbage and cut his tongue then he was put out. The local vets are helping in that regard but the SPCA has no room for him. She has put up a tent in the very cold night and she is staying there with him but she is desperate. No one has responded to her call for assistance and I just heard about it and it is very late. Well. prayers would definately help tonight…she does work so I don't know what will happen to him when she is gone.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Hope everyone had a good sunday.:)
OH SB, prayers for the pup that he will find a good home♥ I have never understood how people can just abandon animals.
put him out in the cold and after he cut his tongue too?.Gee whiz! Bless her for trying to help him.
Angelica, sent you an e-mail.
54. Dak, haha!! I love your new word….hoot-icious. I believe it "comes from the root word .Hoot, which means, DAK "
56,.. thanks Emme♥
hope for Good Day videos tomorrow!
Dja, thanks for all the info for today. Love Manheim steamroller's promoting David and the show

(I don't know why I even looked, have to leave for the day in ten minutes) 🙂
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:33 AM
Awesome 1st interview today for David !
Looks like the Tuesday interviews will happen, as listed in the announcement…..I just got 2 emails from our local FOX station here in San Antonio, saying that David's interview here is scheduled for 7:10 a.m. (we're on central time), so David will begin all his inteviews just after 6 a.m. in Utah—-wow! What an exciting time this is! To be a David fan is like receiving a special blessing every day!
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:54 AM
Before this wonderful article disappears, I have to comment on one more thing.
"As excitement and tension built in their voices, such detail of every play and its setup, a thought occurred to me…these people "ain't got nothin'" on David's fans! Spend a Saturday night in "Unplugged" at The Voice, and we'll show you some real in-depth analysis!"
So true, so true. haha And we do have some fun!
Now … hoping we get some vids from todays interviews. 🙂
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 1:05 PM
Thanks Bebe & JR,
This was a great interview. I love seeing him relaxed and laughing, having a good time with it. And he's looking very nice, too!
I'm glad they talked about the Tour, also. I hope they ask him about upcoming things in all of the interviews. I know it's for GCT, but a little promo for the tour wouldn't is nice too.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Another one is up! Loving these interviews.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 2:43 PM
WOW his hair grows fast!
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 4:15 PM
In tears here. Love him.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Oh Edith,,, you are so wise for such a "youngun".
She truly can't take her eyes off of him. They both are (sorry,, that word,,,,,) adorable.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:03 PM
I LOVE Edith! Just beautiful in every way.
"I'm going to get in trouble" lolol
I want to be her friend. She's fun. 🙂
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:06 PM
David and Edith. ♥ I can't tell you how many times I have watched it and rewound it and re-watched it. That is the all time best so far, and with the biggest smile. Abrra, I think I had a big dimple smile too, watching that. 😀
Poof, LOL Can't blame her, I couldn't take my eyes off him either. 😉
And am I the only one noticing how fine and how "fit" he looks? Good Grief! He gets better looking by the day!
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:11 PM
"whispering" mt i noticed too 🙂
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 8:57 PM
Today's videos are so fun…so much smiling, laughing, and big dimples. Oh to be Edith–or the interviewer who got the autographed paper!!! Lucky day for them. 🙂 He is so relaxed in all the vids and pics. I love it!
I couldn't get to today's signing in Orem….too much going on at work and home. *sad face*
I got my autographed cd's, that I ordered from Deseret Book, today. *happy face* I swear my USPS delivery lady has it out for me….the cd's sat at the Post Office for 2 weeks…she never left me a notice that I needed to pick them up down there….I started tracking them last night, and when I went down to get them this morning, they told me they would have been sent back tomorrow…ugh….the neighbors all complain about her also, so I know it's not just me. Oh well, I have them now. **more smiles**
SB…any word on the puppy? We had someone drop a black bunny off around our place. It was obvious it was someone's pet because it was very tame. When cold weather started to come, my husband and son caught it and took it to a neighbor's home. She raises rabbits, so she took it in. We bought a couple of bags of pellets for it to thank her for taking it in. I couldn't stand to see it try to struggle thru the winter on it's own. We have wild rabbits around, but they know what it's all about so I don't worry about them. Why do people treat animals badly?
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 9:45 PM
Edith meeting and spending time with David was amazing. No more should anyone over 40 feel that they are too old to be a fan. She has done so much to bridge the gap that has caused controversy in the past. He is a singer for all ages as only the good ones are.
I have one more story for tonight…
Thank you for asking about the lonely lost dog and what happened on the very cold night last night. Heidijoy wrote and asked me if I had any news and this is what I wrote to her…
" I have been working with the young girl (19 or 20) on the phone. We live 6 hours from her. She lives in the most easterly part of the province where the atlantic ocean crashes on to her shores. They are in a coal mining town and the living is tough. The young yellow lab, initially walked onto their front doorstep looking cold and dirty and of course hungry. She feels that he was dropped off to find a home, such cruelty. He was hungry and got into the garbage can. He cut his tongue and had blood all over him and all over the kitchen. Her parents were very angry and didn't want him in the house. She got him to the vets and he helped her out, then she went home and they would not allow her in the door with him. She took a small tent outside for the weekend and then today she had to go to work so she was frantic thinking that she would have to put him out by himself. Well, she slept with him in her car last night but ended driving to her sisters. to her sisters. I spoke with the older sister and she has allowed him to stay there until a man who rescues animals and keeps them on his 300 acre farm, arrives tomorrow. Well the dog is so attached to her and she will be sad to see him go.
The young girl had to defend herself to her friends because she bothered at all when he could have just been put to sleep. I wrote to her and told her what a wonderful thing she had done although she was possibly risking her own health in the cold and she could have lost her job. I told her that she would be rewarded sometime for all that she does and she will gain friends who are like herself as time goes by. I was of course thinking about how we have all come together. I praised her and encouraged her not to ever be discouraged from helping someone or animal. She bought him toys and he keeps them close to him
David would be very impressed with her efforts.."

bebe #95…..I would collapse in a heap if David Archuleta held my arm like he is holding that young girl's 😉
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:32 PM
LOL I hadn't thought of it before, but perhaps that's why they ask him to sign their arms. Not just for the signature, but so he has to hold on to them for a while.
*still smiling about him meeting Edith* That has to be the cutest, sweetest thing ever and I am so happy for her. I hope he sees her at the concert and waves to her in the audience. I don't doubt he'll remember her.
SB, I'm so glad there will be a happy outcome for the puppy.
Monday, November 21, 2011 at 11:34 PM
David, you have been my idol for 30 years 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 12:56 AM
Love all the interviews and the VERY fit David. Edith is a doll and it's nice to meet an "older than me" fan!!
#77..isn't that Ashley sitting beside Jonah? Sure looks like her!
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 3:01 AM
I was LMAO to the pioint of crying just watching David & Edith. I can see my fuuuuuuture! I bet you not-yet-Golden-Achies did, tooooooo!
"… that's why I said I would be in trouble…" bahahahahaha – spoken like a true-blue Archie!
O my,, my side hurts from laughing
BTW, you can download HD MP4s of all the interviews I uploaded today from here
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8:32 AM
Just watched what I think is David's 1st satellite interview this morning! Mack Wilberg is with him!! VERY short but VERY nice interview. (David, in long sleeved grey shirt… great hair…looked great!). A 10 second clip of MOTAB singing "Joy to the World" was shown at end of the interview, NOT from last yr's concert, though.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Not sure when and where this was taken. But I like it. 🙂

88.Bebeeeeeeeeeeeee!"The Edith video was so touching. I was all choked up when I posted it. He makes us love him more each day."
{{{{sigh}}} I am in love♥ That has got to be the best video ever.
MT I have watched and rewatched it too.
Abrra, those are beee-uuuu- tiful screencaps!! (How on earth does his hair grow so FAST!??)
There is such a soothing softness about David that is so incredibly yummy, in his speaking voice,his smile,his eyes.. . It is so comforting, it just oozes out of his every pore.What a special human being you are David . He just melts
you into butter and leaves you defenseless with his charming self! Those of you going to any Utah shows, keep your eye out for Edith♥something tells me, where David is concerned, she still has enough energy to do some chair scooting.
who looks that good at 97??.David is our fountain of youth. Keep drinking Edith and you will see #100!
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 10:10 AM
I've been trying to keep up with all the interviews this morning online. Caught only 3 so far, but one was on my local Detroit channel. <33
Loved what the anchor had to say after the interview.
"He looks just the same as when he won."
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Here is one of the interviews. 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Thank you, JR!! You rock!

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 1:20 PM
Love the interviews. Edith's video is almost too much…they are adorable together!
Aww, he is hangin' with Jonah. And nice to see Ashley again. She is really a beautiful girl.
Kudos to his hair stylist 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Djafan~ Hi. Tks for the email! I replied.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 3:06 PM
I just wish that in all of these lovely pre Christmas interviews that they would have asked David questions that pertained more to the MoTab concert series because the American idol part of his life is no longer interesting or relevant especially now. AI is so cheesy compared to talking about the contents of the Glad Tidings Christmas CD and DVD and what went on throughout the days of the concerts. The TV interviewers just can't let it go. They did not seem to have done their homework because this was all about promoting David now and the MoTabs music. There really is nothing impressive about American idol other than that is where he had his start. I felt sorry that Mack Wilberg was asked so little. It was a fabulous set of performances and it could have been outstanding in the discussions about what this means to his future…I grimace when I hear American Idol and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir talked about in the same sentence. David was classy in the performances and that should have carried over especially for him.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 3:15 PM
Alabama. Thank you Jr!
42-10 David Archuleta & Mack Wilberg @ FOX6 Good Day Alabama (Media Blitz, 22 Nov 2011)
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 3:41 PM
I love the Alabama interview. The interviewers comment when David said "Los Pastores A Belen" "beautiful hearing you say it, I can just imagine what it sounds like" lol I detect a fan girl there.
SB, I hear you but I don't know when the AI references will stop, will they ever? Probably not, it's how he was introduced to the world. Eventually my hope is that it will be a mere mention.
Mack doesn't seem to be a man of many words. I would have preferred the other gentlemen who was interviewed during the Motab event. He was so enthusiastic and excited about David and his performances. Mack even then not so much. Not saying that he wasn't but he doesn't seem comfortable with these interviews.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 4:08 PM
I agree Dja.would have preferred the other gentleman, who was absolutely fired up about David during the interviews..why can't I remember his name?Hate it when that happens.Mack is sort of a serious fellow..looks kinda grumpy out of his element.(no disrespect intended, just an observation)Especially sitting next to David! HA.
Anyway, yes SB I agree.I guess if we have grown weary of the AI references, wonder how David must feel…gosh he has done so much since then.so much under that cute little belt of his over the past 4 years, gee.
I will however always be grateful to AI for introducing David to us. How and when would we ever have gotten to know him otherwise? At least he got some fabulous exposure through that show.I don't think they will ever stop talking about it until it goes off the air..especially on Fox,since Idol is probably still one of their top seasonal shows Its sure great to see all this promo today though.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8:41 PM
That is me Abrra. I am still incoherent, but happy. I was #9 in line today. 2 hours before the signing things were very mellow, not many people. More shoppers than David fans. Then an hour later I had become # 25 or so in line and the place was filling up. When David arrived there were long lines wrapped around every display. He walked in, gave us a wave and a smile and went right to work. No singing at the signing. Not even for the girl ahead of me who told him it was her birthday! He gave her a big grin and said "Well, happy birthday" He looked great as you can see.
When I got home, my grandson asked "How was your day?" Haha. He would never understand how terrific my day was 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8:56 PM
Dayzee, you both look pretty happy. Guessing it was worth the wait 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8:58 PM
Abrra #121—THAT'S MY DAYZEE!!! (tan jacket). She texted me while she was there…dang work schedule just hasn't let me be to any of these 😦 The top pic looks like she must have been floating on air (lol!) with it being taken above the crowd. I wonder what she said that created such smiles in all of them??
Dja–Mac Christensen is the other guy…he's the choir president, and also owns the Mr. Mac men's wear retail chain (probably just here in Utah), so he's more PR than Mack Wilberg. Mack W. is the one who did all the arrangements on the music, so that could be why they had him speaking with David. But, you're right, he is a man of few words (but a lot of notes on a music sheet).
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:09 PM
I just saw this on twitter!!
@jleblancmusic Jeff LeBlanc
I'm opening for David Archuleta's full US tour!!! So excited to meet all of you this December!
David has an opener…what a rock star! 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Dayzeeee … Lucky You!
I don't know what you said to him but, good job! cuz you certainly got a beautiful smile for it. 😀 Great pic!
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:15 PM
see if this works…David helps (kind of) make waffles… cuteness just in that he doesn't ever stop smiling!
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:33 PM
Dayzeeeeeee! oh I am so jealous! look at you,looking at him, looking at you!♥eeep! YOU SO LUCKY!
Tawna, thanks for the info on the Mac/Macks … so we have the President,Mac C. and the choir director. Mack W. Now I can remember that.( I will just visualize David sitting down with 2 big Mac's from here on) Not hard to do..
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 9:38 PM
I don't recall seeing this interview being posted –but if it has exusa me. I like the way the guy is so loose and light with David which in turn makes David the same.
Also on that site check out the video " All your turkey questions , answered –David is in that too! About the third or fourth one down from the top. Cute!
#100 Jans 11—I thought that was Ashley too-when I first saw the video–went back to have another look and got waylaid – my attention span sucks.
Don.t know if this will bring up the actual video–but at least it's a link. 🙄

Shawna's 'friends' are tooooo cute! 🙂
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 10:03 PM
Great pictures Shawna and Dayzee ( which one is Dayzee in that picture? )
Gahhhh—I want to live in Utah!!!!—She said while having a hissy fit on the floor. 😦
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 12:14 AM
Dak, those lucky Utahns lol
Hi Dayzee and Shawna!!!!
David David David My Kind Of Christmas Tour is almost here!!!!
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Great pictures, Dayzee and Shawna! Thanks to you Dayzee for your texting me at work and making the time go by faster and getting a mag signed for me! It was so cool to be talking to someone in Utah waiting in line to see David while I was doing hair in Kansas City! I was reading my texts to the ladies and they thought it was great. One lady wants me to ask David if he will visit them there at the nursing home…another one bit the dust!! lol She was singing along with him to Silent Night and Joy to the World! Very off tune, but also very sweet.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 1:59 AM
Dayzee…I was there too. Wasn't it just wonderful. I think he has grown up so much in the last year. Still has those sparkly eyes and I am always amazed at how dark his hair looks in person. I couldn't believe all the people. It was a lovely afternoon and I am still smiling.
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 2:58 AM
I should be asleep but sleep doesn't come easy after spending a few precious moments with David, now does it?
Thanks for the comments about the picture I tweeted! Those kids ARE really my best friends, so Abs, you are so right! They are my daughters 3 kids, and she is expecting another boy in March! Such precious little ones! The boy, Tyler, is in school all day and not as much into "Grandma" as much as his two sisters are! Kate is going with me to the SLC concert with her 9 year old cousin and my hubby!! She is so excited! I posted another pic of all of us looking at David as he talks while he signs with the caption that they were mesmerized by him:) Kate (is 5) even told him her favorite song of his is Cat and the Mouse! He was so cute with them!! Brooke is the little one! She is 2, 3 when the new brother comes and Tyler is 7!!
David looked so happy and especially glowy tonight:) I had him sign 3 CDs for these older ladies I visit each month. They are 92, 89, and 81 and they will be so surprised to see they're autographed personally to them!! Can't wait to see their faces!!! Might deliver them on Friday rather than wait till the 13th of Dec. to give them. I want them to have the whole month to enjoy it!!!

Ocala man fatally shot after clinging to top of car for miles
OCALA -- A 36-year-old Ocala man was fatally shot by his former girlfriend on Saturday night after a disagreement between the two about their relationship, according to Marion County sheriff's officials.
Amid the disagreement, the man, Lamark D. Tucker Sr., climbed onto the hood of a car being driven by Nikki Y. McNeil, 33, of Flemington, and clung to the hood and roof as McNeil drove around for several miles. While Tucker was on top of the car, McNeil fired a gunshot through the car's windshield, critically wounding Tucker, officials said.
Deputies said the disturbance began Saturday evening when McNeil went to the 8600 block of Northwest 10th Avenue in Ocala to drop off her three children. Tucker, her former boyfriend, who is also the father of the three children, was at the residence and, according to sheriff's officials, confronted McNeil about their relationship, which deputies said McNeil did not want to discuss.
Deputies said Tucker took McNeil's cellphone and car keys apparently in an effort to keep her from leaving, but McNeil used an extra set of keys to start the car. As she backed out of the driveway to leave, Tucker jumped onto the hood of the car, deputies said, and McNeil drove away with Tucker on the hood.
With Tucker alternately on the hood and on the car roof, McNeil drove on U.S. 441. As she was making a left turn onto Northwest 100th Street to go to Northwest Gainesville Road, deputies said they received the first 911 call about the ordeal.
As McNeil drove, she demanded Tucker get off the roof, but he refused and was yelling at her, deputies said. At one point Tucker appeared to be reaching into his pockets, and deputies said McNeil feared he might be armed.
McNeil then drove onto County Road 329, heading west for approximately two to three miles. At some point she retrieved a gun that was in the car and shot through the windshield, wounding Tucker.
At some later point, Tucker fell off the top of the car and onto the road, where he was discovered by passing motorists, according to deputies. At that point, McNeil turned the car around, deputies said, driving to the Kangaroo store at the corner of CR 329 and Gainesville Road, where she asked people to call 911.
Deputies said McNeil had stopped the car two or three other times as she was driving with Tucker clinging to the car, asking people to call 911.
After Tucker was found in the road, he was rushed to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where he died.
Sheriff's officials are asking anyone who may have information about the incident to call Detective Bobby LeVay at 368-3586.

My guest today at the Scribes is fellow paranormal romance author Rosanna Leo. She talks about her latest book The Selkie. Totally hot cover and a fun read too!
I read this book after the cover caught my eye on Facebook (you all know I am a total sucker for abs). I really enjoyed it and made note of it on Goodreads. Rosanna sent me a note and, of course, I had to ask her to be my guest over at the Scribes blog. Stop by and say hello.
Hope to see you there!

Let's bake a pumpkin!
First, rinse off your pumpkin to free it of any dust or dirt.
Cut your pumpkin in half. Smaller pumpkins tend to be sweeter, so go for those if you can. They are easier to cut, too! If you pumpkin is on the larger side (like this one) cut in thirds or quarters (or any way you can without cutting yourself!).
Scoop out the guts! This is our favourite part and I always have help from Guppy for this. Of course.
Use a spoon (metal measuring spoons work great here, but a regular metal spoon is fine!) to get out the stringies. Don't worry – there will be some left and it's ok.
Place your pumpkin flesh-side down into a large baking dish or roasting pan. Add a little water – a few centimeters or maybe an inch, depending on where you live.
Let's bake! Put your pumpkin an oven heated to 175°c/350°F until it's melty-soft (how's that for some official baking lingo?). This can be from 45 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the size of your fruit (yes, pumpkin is a fruit!). Just check it with the highly technical "stick it with a fork" move. When it's falling from the peel easily when coaxed by the fork it's time to take it out of the oven.
It's hot! Let it cool a little (or use tongs and safety equipment if you're pressed for time) and use a large metal spoon to scrape the fruit away from the peel. I put it directly into my food processor once it's cooled. Or a few hours later because I forgot about it cooling and started doing other things…
Wizz away! Your pumpkin might be so soft it only needs a few pluses, that's how mine usually is. Now just put into airtight containers and freeze! I usually measure out what my favourite recipes use and freeze that quantity – that way I can just thaw what I need as I go. If you do choose to put your purée into the fridge, be sure and use it in 4 or 5 days max!
While I admit feeling envious of you folks living in countries where pumpkin purée can be found in cans, allowing for early spring and summer pumpkin cravings to be assuaged in a hurry, nothing beats making your own pumpkin purée at home. It's easy, inexpensive and allows you to really know what is in your purée. My main problem is I never freeze enough to last me all year. Actually, it usually only lasts until the end of winter, but that's ok. This technique works well for any winter squash so don't limit yourself! Because pumpkins are more rare in my neck of the woods, I often sub various squash for pumpkin and it always works just dandy!
Get ready for some pumpkin recipes!

Vintage Azilal Mini Rug 92x140
A sweet smaller sized vintage Moroccan Azilal region rug. A gorgeous soft pallet of sky blue, grape, sunflower yellow and orange with central flower design.
Perfect size for bath room or bedsidewith it's nice plush low pile.
- Size: 92 x 140cm
- 100% wool
- Vintage 1990s
- Handwoven in Morocco
- One of a Kind
Free Aus standard shipping via Aus Post for orders over $150
No returns on Sale items.
Nouvelle Nomad rugs and textiles are authentic vintage finds mostly aged between 30 - 80 years old, or crafted from vintage textiles.
Due to their age, handwoven and unique nature - irregularities in shape, colour, and signs of wear, previous use and age must be expected, and are what add to their beauty, character and value.
Any questions you have about our rugs, their origins, where and how we source, for more photos of an item or advice on how to care for your new rug - please get in contact at any time.
The restoration process for authentic vintage rugs is a slow and skilful one. Each of our rugs is hand washed and repaired in Morocco before being shipped to our Australian showroom or their new homes around the world.
First - hand washed with water, mild detergents with a big soapy brush, removing any dirt, stains and smells from it's prior life. Then hung out in the Moroccan sunshine to dry naturally.
Then - any repairs required are done by hand by skilled artisans in the traditional methods and with materials to best suit the rug and its origins. This often includes re-tasseling the ends, re-finishing or strengthening borders, patching of holes and tiding of loose threads with yarns and wool that closely match the colours and textures of the design.
Rugs should be vacuumed regularly, and occasionally hung outside in the sunshine and fresh air to freshen them up and get rid of any loose dirt. Allowing them some time in the sun naturally kills off any bacteria, smells or moisture that may have built up with every day use.
For storage, always roll rather than fold your rug to avoid creasing. Store in a breathable cotton wrap or bedsheet. Never store in plastic, as wool sweats and needs to breath.
The natural dyes in the older style rugs will fade over time, especially if placed in direct sunlight, and with usual wear and age. So please keep this in mind when choosing it's positioning in your home.
While the natural dyes are mostly colour fast - occasionally the deeper red and black dye colours have been know to bleed or transfer onto other surfaces when wet - so please keep this in mind before placing on carpets or upholstery.
For grubby marks we recommend only ever using mild soapy water to spot clean your carpet, tested on a small area first. Chemical cleaners and vintage textiles are definitely not friends - so keep cleaning simple and to the basics.
If your carpet is in need of a deeper clean due to spills, pets or heavy wear, contact a professional rug cleaning service in your area that specialise in cleaning vintage and antique rugs.
If you're in Melbourne we recommend the Melbourne Rug Wash
Ask for an eco friendly anti-bacterial wash, and an anti-urine treatment if you have pets in the house.
Use store bought inserts in a slightly larger size to your cushions. For eco friendly options online we recommend Innergreen
For a heavier and fuller fill you can also use recycled textiles (clothing, bedlinen, etc) you may have lying around the house to stuff your floor cushion or pouf.
There's an article here for more info on this.
If you're placing your rug on floor boards or a concrete surface you may want to consider a non slip rug pad for underneath your carpet. (Although not essential)
We offer custom sized rug pads cut to size, made from recycled and natural breathable materials. Just get in contact for pricing.
Or you can buy these cut to size from any commercial carpet laying shop or rug cleaning centre.
All online orders are shipped from our Melbourne showroom or warehouse. And are usually shipped within 2-3 business days.

Additional photos of your rug are provided over email to confirm the condition of your piece with you before we ship.
Many sale items are from previous collections, may be ex-display stock or items we've had around the showroom for a while, so may benefit from a freshen up with a professional clean. (We recommend the Melbourne Rug Wash and can arrange this for an extra fee if you'd like)
If you're in doubt please get in contact for more photos or additional information before purchasing.
If you're located near by us in Melbourne and would like to trial a rug at home in your space to see if it suits, we're happy to offer this with full payment.

Sizing- When choosing sizes, be sure to read each sizing guideline for each collection or style as you may wear a Medium in a Classic Tee but Gigi's run small and you may need an X-Large.

We are not affiliated with LuLaRoe but guarantee all items we sell to be unworn, unwashed, and in new condition. Any returns must be made to us, SofterLeggings.com, and not a fashion consultant.
We reply to almost all emails within 24-48 if not the same day so if you have not seen our reply please check your junk mail folder as it's common for our small business emails to be diverted to junk folders.

- LSU to the Capital One - This is still pretty much a go.
- Ole Miss to Cotton - Multiple reports including the Dallas Morning News are saying that Ole Miss vs. Oklahoma State is pretty much a done deal for the Cotton Bowl.
- Auburn to Outback Bowl - The Outback Bowl may officially announce this afternoon that Auburn is invited to the Tampa bowl. Tennessee media outlets agree that AU is likely to get that invite instead of the Vols.
- FSU to the Gator Bowl - The Gator gets the second pick of ACC teams, and the Tallahassee Democrat says the Gator will select FSU vs. West Virginia for Bowden's final game if/when the retirement is finalized. The Gator also selected UGA for Dooley's last game.
- Virginia Tech to the Chick-Fil-A - The Chick-Fil-A Bowl should update their blog later today with their latest leanings, but 9-3 Va Tech looks like a distinct possibility. If the Chick-Fil-A takes VT, the loser of the ACC Title game could fall all the way to the Champ Sports Bowl. Update Per the Tallahassee Democrat:
According to the Gator Bowl's contract with the ACC, the team only has to invite the ACC title game loser once in four years, which it did with Georgia Tech in 2007. Without speculating on the matchup, Gator Bowl general chairman Dan Murphy told the Times-Union late Monday that it's the GBA's interpretation of the contract that the league's one-loss rule (a team cannot be passed for consideration by an ACC bowl partner for a team more than one loss behind in the conference standings) does not apply if the Gator Bowl decides not to invite the championship game loser. (emphasis added)Georgia Tech attended the Chick-fil-A last year. Va Tech would be making their third trip to Atlanta in one season, and Clemson would be riding a two game losing streak at 8-5. All three ACC teams have hair on them.
- UGA or UT in the Chick-Fil-A - The best thing for all bowl partners would be UGA in the Chick-Fil-A and UT in the Music City. That would sell the greatest number of total bowl tickets. However, UT vs. VT is an incredibly compelling regional game as is Georgia vs. Clemson, or Georgia Tech vs. Tennessee. The Atlanta Sports Council has a tough call on their hands.
- UGA, UT or SC in the Music City? - The Nashville Bowl has a variety of incredibly compelling potential games as South Carolina, Tennessee or Georgia would all offer a great game against North Carolina in the Music City Bowl.
- UGA to the Independence Bowl? - If UT goes to the Chick-Fil-A and SC faces UNC in the Music City, Georgia could fall all the way to the Independence Bowl. We are hearing that this is still a scenario that is very much on the table. The Liberty Bowl isn't in play as that bowl will not pass on Arkansas. Texas A&M is a strong candidate for the opponent in Shreveport.
