A Halloween mystery solved: Obi Wan Ginobili is 'Batman'
On its second swoop down onto the court the bat sent players scurrying and ducking for cover. But ole eagle eyed Manu Ginobili waited for the bat to swoop by him and then batted the bat down with his patented quick hands. He then picked it up so that the bat could be escorted out of the arena.
We have no word yet on whether the bat was indeed a vampire. But we now know that the man they call Obi Wan Ginobili is indeed 'Batman.'
Picture 1: A drawing of Manu Ginbobili as Obi Wan Ginobili.
Picture 2: Manu Ginobili holds the bat that he had just swatted out of the air.

Lebron is 'The King' (In Cleveland)
But if the opening TV ratings for the NBA season are any indication of the love LBJ might feel in his home state of Ohio then maybe the Cavs fans worries can be put on simmer at least for now.
The Cleveland/Boston game drew a 20.0 rating in Cleveland, while compared to only a 8.3 rating in Boston. But before you think Boston fans are taking their team for granted, remember that the opening game that featured both Los Angeles teams (the Lakers and Clippers) drew only a 6.2 rating in the Los Angeles market. But with limited due respect to the Los Angeles fans, it was a game that featured the Clippers.
Picture: An unidentified Laker figuratively saves face as Lebron James 'posterizes' him.

The abstract picture is a concern of his friends. Hand is that? One child guessed, it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers who breed turkeys. The others guess the hand of a policeman, because the police protect and care to the community. There is also a guess the hand of God, because God who created Thanksgiving Coloring Pages. The debate was continued until the teacher almost forgot the painter who drew it.
When other kids were gone, the teacher stopped at Douglas' desk, bent down and asked him, "Stair is that?” The little boy looked up to the teacher's face and replied, "That is the hand, teacher.". The teacher recalled times when he held his hand and walked with Douglas. How often he said, "Take my hand Douglas, we walked out." Or, "Look at the teacher yes." Or, "Let's do it together." Douglas is very grateful for his mother a teacher. Wiping tears from her eyes, she hugged teacher Douglas, "Thank you".
Be thankful because there are people around you, who hold your hand when you left. Those who say, 'Let's do it together ". Who always said, "Do not up the past again, you're forgiven." Grateful that among those who leave, there are still those who always support you.

Free Bob The Builder Coloring Pages
Before you download these Bob the Builder Coloring Pages, firstly.. I will tell you how great is drawing activity for our kids brain. Here are the reason:
Teach children to draw objects as they can increase the intelligence of children, says psychologist from the University of Medan Area, Irna Minauli, MPsi. "Teaching children to draw something that appeals to them is very good for the intellectual development of children," she said.
According to her, when kids draw something will happen think processes that they wish to object image, so that the child's imagination began to emerge. Draw or paint can improve a child's imagination, so that children can freely express any appropriate power and memory capacity.
Irna said, the kids have the imagination of the most extraordinary and fishing activities could draw memory and their knowledge constantly. In addition, the drawing is also able to increase the sensitivity of children to the social environment. Even with the draw they can understand the concept of spatial (partial).
In teaching drawing, parents are expected to not dictate what to make children because it can inhibit their creativity, including color-related selection. "Parents should let kids paint whatever objects they imagine, even though initially the same object totally not structured," she said.
Different perspectives between child and parents should be well understood, because something just no question could be a question for a child, she added. Teachers painted in North Sumatra Cultural Park, Retno, admitted the children tend to draw objects by adults sometimes weird, so it needs a special approach to direct the child to be able to draw well.
Now you have one step learning on teaching our kids about coloring and drawing. So its time to download all these Bob the Builder Coloring Pages and than teach our kids to draw their own imagination.

Cedric Benson: Crying again
Do you remember when Cedric Benson was arrested and cried for his 'mommy/? Shots Heard does.
But despite the utter humiliation and his lack of work ethic and productivity for the Chicago Bears, Benson is still crying.
“I heard all the rumors that were said coming out of Chicago," Benson said. He added, "Even the Bengals told me all the things, that they would call and inquire about me and get nothing but negative things. Just that I didn’t work hard, that I was I guess a prima donna or I didn’t work hard on the field, just wasn’t focused, just anything negative that they could say, it was said. I’m sure that contributed largely to me not getting picked up right away.”
Maybe he should think it was the poultry 674 yards he had in his last season as the Chicago Bears (primary) running back. Not to mention the two alcohol induced arrests he had following that lackluster year.
And even as Benson attempts to trash the Bears as he heads into a grudge match with the Bears in Week 7 of the 2009 NFL season, Benson is only averaging 3.74 yards per carry in his Bengals career. He has not exactly proven the Bears wrong. File this under, 'Cedric Benson is still crying.'
As Stewie Griffen would say, "Go home and cry to yo mama. She waitin' for you."

Notes
Shots Heard is picking all four 0-5 teams to win this week.
Picture 1: During the Vikings/Packers game, Brett Favre's wife, Deanna and daughter, Nicole pose next to a Vikings jersey that says Thanks Ted. The jersey refers to the current Packers general manager, Ted Thompson who traded Favre.
Picture 2: A promotion picture of the Minnesota Vikings. Pictured from left to right are Jared Allen, Percy Harvin, Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson and E.J. Henderson.
A Favrelous Pursuit - Part 1: The Snake
And in a case of life imitating art, an accomplished Super Bowl champion, Brett Favre undoubtedly had the same lamentations during his final three years (2005-2007) with the Green Packers, in which Ted Thompson served as the team's general manager.
Just as the New York Knights were squeezed and Pop complained about being with "dead from the neck up" players, so did Favre suddenly find himself on a last place 4-12 team that had refused to resign key players from their 2004 team that finished 10-6 and won the NFC North division title.
It would be the only losing season in Brett Favre's illustreous career. Believing that the 4-12 season was not head coach, Mike Sherman's fault, Favre told Thompson that if he fired Sherman he would retire.
The very next day, Sherman, whom Thompson had replaced as general manager, was fired. Thompson was a rookie general manager but he was also a cunning opportunist. Favre did not fit into Thompson's vision to rebuild the team. But he knew that he could not cut or trade away the greatest player in Packer history.
Thompson, ever the great egoist was undoubtedly giving himself a pat on the back. This would be his team now without any more interference from Favre. Thompson would not have to operate in the shadow of the only three time MVP in the league to that point. Or so he thought.
Picture 1: Sports Illustrated saw great things from Favre, predicting the Packers to win the 1995 Super Bowl. Favre's Packers instead won the Super Bowl in 1996.
Picture 2: Robert Redford's character, Roy Hobbs was told he was too old to play. But he did play and here he is shown running the bases following his dramatic Pennant winning home run. Favre seeks to imitate art. Now at 40 and on the Minnesota Vikings he seeks to silence the critics that say he is too old to compete at the highest level. Currently his Vikings are 5-0.
