The morning after…
Well, we've all had a little bit of time to let all this settle and read the morning coverage from around the country. Bill Plunkett, who originally wrote that J.D. was staying back in September, had this to say in the OC Register. In the Daily News, Tony Jackson gives his version of the story while the L.A. Times had two articles – one news story by Bill Shaikin and an opinion piece from Bill Plaschke. Even a writer in Philadelphia weighed in on the situation. Other stories include the Riverside Press Enterprise and dodgers.com.
As for me, I've obviously followed the coverage quite a bit. It's certainly interesting to hear everyone's take and I really got a kick out of one caller last night on AM 570 saying that he read about it on the Inside the Dodgers blog. We've certainly tried to be the very first place where you can get Dodger news and hopefully some of you were the first to know about this yesterday because you've been keeping up with the front office blog throughout the winter.
Having had some time for the news to settle, I think it's safe to say that no one over here thinks that J.D. was being unfair in opting out of his contract. That was obviously his right and more power to him and his agent if they can get more money, which they probably know they can do or they would not have exercised it in the first place.
If anything, I think there's just some disappointment in how it all went down. Given J.D.'s end of the year comments, it was our belief he'd still be here and that he was very happy. He's certainly entitled to change his opinion during the month of October and obviously he did. Maybe had there been a heart-to-heart between him and the team before that, things might have been different, but they weren't, so we move on. I know that Scott Boras likened this situation to us not picking up Eric Gagne's option, but something tells me he might have been a little bit perturbed if we had been saying all year that we had planned to pick up Eric's option and then when the time came to actually file the paperwork, we changed our minds.
At the end of the day, we can't really judge J.D. until we've been in his shoes. And I really don't think there's a way to judge this transaction until we see the others that follow. Maybe this allows us to get another free agent or trade for someone with a big salary and even bigger talent. Maybe it opens up the door for James Loney (or another young player) to play right field and he outperforms J.D. There's just no way of knowing, but that's the fun part about baseball.
We only know one thing for sure – this will certainly make the offseason more interesting.

some people are being critical of Ned for saying what he's said & to them i say EXCUSE A MAN FOR BEING HUMAN!!.
If I was lied to like that, yeah I'd be pissed. I'm not all that disappointed that JD's leaving, I'm more ticked off that he basically lied to us.
How about Boras claiming J.D. is a "five-tool" player? Whatever …
Okay…this is a really weird day. My comments on yestersdays article sounded like Plaschke.
If you want to be upset, be upset at former general manager Paul DePodesta for giving Drew such a misguided quit clause in the first place.
On second thought, give DePodesta a standing ovation.
I think Depo was the startest one of all. Rent a player for two years and get ride of him. Boras Style!
If we CAN'T judge a player for :
1. Lying
2. Being ridiculously greedy
3. Showing zero loyalty
4. Playing (or not) with very little drive
Then what good is any judgment or opinion?
I say beat it JD, you're not a winner.
The Dodgers and fans were good to you.
"How about Boras claiming J.D. is a "five-tool" player? Whatever …"
you just gotta love Boros! why didn't he mentioned his fragile made of glass body!!
Josh is right. This opens up all kinds of possibilities. Personally I am pleased JD and/or Boros made this decision now and not delay for a while. I expect the early announcement has lit up Ned's phone. And yes, I don't see why Ned would renegotiate with JD. I really don't think Boros was sincere about wanting to renegotiate with the Dodgers. That was to make it all look better because it makes no sense. I also expect it might open up another spot for a Boros client on the Dodgers. As much as Ray likes Zito, I would be satisfied if we never talked to another Boros client except Eric Gagne. I hope Eric decides with his heart and not Boros' wallet. JD had a good season in '06. I wish him well elsewhere and think DePodesta was rather clever to have clause in Drew's contract knowing he a bit fragile. Go get 'em Ned. We can't wait. Put a fence around the farm.
you guys think it will be dificult or awkward dealing wth Boros now? (Maddux)
Just read Bill Plaschke's article in the Times. A good take. Earlier knowledge would have helped Ned but he has time and can trade. I would think he might be a bit miffed but not really angry. He will just have to work harder which I expect is no big chore for him. He must feel a sense of excitement now as he can move more names around his big board. Go get 'em Ned. This is a break you needed. Take Logan's advice on the farm.
I do not know how we got so lucky, but I have been giddy all day because of this news. Now, I first want to make it known that I am not a JD hater. I think he is a good guy, and I was hoping to see him step it up next year (it looked like his swing was getting back), but I also know he was not worth what we were paying him. I was hopeful we might be able to trade him to free up our payroll, but this is just icing on the cake. Does anyone know if the Dodgers will consider going after Roberts? I for one like his hustle and speed, and I was bummed when they let him go.
The Dodgers "coddled" JD Drew all season long. Plaschke's article says it best at how far the Dodgers bent over backwards for this guy… while standing on one foot and hopping up and down for him! And then the fact that JD went on record saying he wasn't even thinking about his option.
What chaps my butt is how anyone can compare this to the Eric Gagne situation. Both parties knew BEFORE hand that Gagne's option wouldn't be picked up! How does this even compare to Gagne's situation? It can't. Eric is coming off of two injury prone seasons. He and Colletti met to discuss how this was going to go down (the possibility of re-signing him). Gagne and Boras knew ahead of time that the Dodgers were going to take the "wait and see" approach as to whether Gagne would be worth the risk to resign, albeit an incentive laden contract for sure. Nobody backed down on anothers' word here. It was planned.
With JD Drew, Boras feigns ignorance and infers that Colletti was the one who didn't initiate contract re-negotiations. Are you kidding me Boras! Did you REALLY expect that Ned Colletti was a mind reader who was perched ready to spend MORE money on no-heart, lifeless talent that had to be "coddled" through his two seasons in Los Angeles? No you didn't, and don't even go there you sad, sorry, dope!
I still believe that Eric Gagne will do the right thing and stick by his word. He went on record as saying he wants to stay. Let's see if there is still some integrity within a "loyal" ballplayer of his stature… Boras be damned.
Good riddance JD. Yes you put up some decent numbers last season, but as Plaschke put it best, I can't even remember but a handfull of your RBI's. Go show a lack of heart somewhere else. The Dodgers deserved more from you, and you just seemed happy to deposit your checks, all with the same emotion you showed at the plate… none. Here's one strike three you'll never get back.
I was thinking about that the other day to (dealing with Boras). I wondered if it is hard for the guys in the dugout who are not with Boras to see this guy pulling this stuff and to see the players going along with it. It seems strange to me that JD would expect us to pay more for him to stay, especially after this year. He was middle of the road, but he was not amazing. It may mean the Dodgers will need to take a hard stance and say no more Boras. But, with the way the market is we know JD will get signed somewhere. It is too bad that team loyalty appears to be a thing of the past, especially with people like Boras working deals.
Maybe JD is the next Jody Reed.
I could not believe that Boras compared it to the option with Gagne. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard…Gagne is questionable, and I will not blame the Dodgers for if they don't sign him. Even if Gagne bounces back somewhere else, he is too uncertain of a prospect…those are serious injuries. I'm not mad at JD, but I am joyful at the position this puts us in with the salary. JD was the one I always wanted to get rid of, since he is not living up to his contract. But I guess 33 million is not enough. Must be nice.
i hope that sorry excuse for a player lands somewhere where he doesnt have it so easy.. i never even like mike marshall jr, but the fact that he pulled this stunt is just dirty pool.. now my concern is dealing with boras.. i dont want to deal with him, but we need his players.. i hope this did not change things between zito,and gagne…
Sheffield was dealt to the Tigers. Oh my… their lineup just gets better.
btw,i saw grady at the mesa game..i tried to ask him what he tought about the drew situation, but i didnt want to spoil his time..if i see him on saturday at his induction, i'll try and actuall speak with him…
OK with me just as long as Sheffield didn't land with the Dodgers again although he had three good years with us.
He'll be 38 next season.
"Maybe JD is the next Jody Reed."
one can only hope.
WOW……..There is a God and and what a merciful one at that!!!!! I Think Colletti should put Boras on Call Block along with the D-Rays.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
I'm sorry, but Colletti has to accept a lot of the blame on this one.
The season ended a month ago and Colletti said they hadn't talked. Pick up the phone as the deadline draws near and see where he's at. If the Times and L.A. Daily News could do it, Colletti could have also. If he has the time to call ESPN Radio, he has the time to call the player who you know has the option to opt out of his current contract and become a free agent.
A lot can change in a month. Should Colletti be basing decisions on what he reads in the local media? As a GM, you need to expect the unexpected. This should have been on his radar. You know what they say happens when someone assumes…
Before even getting to the point of renegotiating, I would be in contact several times with my player who has the option of making himself a free agent to see what he is going to do. Until the date passed or I had it in writing, I'd be in constant contact with the guy because whatever he decides is going to have a huge impact on how I proceed putting together the ballclub.
Again, he was relying on media reports. That's the last thing you want to use as a resource.
So, I guess we have like 30-40 mil in our budget for this year now? 17 to Soriano, 13 to Zito, 8 to Maddux and we're still a little under budget. OK, Ned this is what you do….
Trade Repko and Penny to Toronto for Vernon Wells, sign Soriano to play (or give him 2nd, Kent 1st, and Loney LF), pick up Zito and Maddux, then our rotation looks like this:
SS – Furcal
LF – Soriano
CF – Wells
2B – Kent
1B – Loney
3B – Betemit
RF – Ethier
C – Martin
Kuo (My girlfriend calls him Hunky Show, I'm not sure whether or not to be upset about that…)
Can't lose, I'm telling you…
Hello?????? SGV lad that was by design and something that could happen not certainly not probable. I don't think I would have given it a 20% chance of JD giving up his Guaranteed 33M for a shot at better or worse… He just married Maybe like a dog with a Bone in his mouth looking into a Really Big Pond.He has no ability to Carry a team Through post season and is very marginal on power speed and intelligence on the bases.He was in a situation where if he was a Good hitter he could have plated 130-140 RBI's 06 team always had people on…But The run production is moot because the team went 162+ and now is time for people who can play a season win it then put the nose to the grindstone. It is time for a Winning team to go Beat the AL in the series no more WHIMPS!Its been 18 years without a Dodger WS winner and do it before 08′ LA is a Top Market and LA draws Top Money Time For LA to Win again… StL beat the AL why can't we do it?We Have again an Owner Committed to LA and a GM who wants to Hire Winning people and The Last A-hole to NY just left the station.We as Dodger fans can carry a 200M season into a WS win with profits for all.Pay The Great Players the Money They Need to fill the gaps that our team needs to fill and let our great rookies Make there marks then renegotiate them without all for me screw the fans ***** Borass—- He should Go produce at NBC little prodution for mediocre results at highest profits end results in no entertainment and declining fanbase Teams should start boycotting his clients.
Looks like we're agreed that Blue is better off without Drew. Plaschke's article does pretty much sum it up and that was the softest 100 rbi's I ever saw.
Maybe he will wind up in that Seattle bone yard with that other guy.
It's business to be sure, but I've got to wonder about Boras' ethics. Could be time for a little owners collusion as far as he's concerned.
Drew is just an average player getting a lot of money for what he gave back. I've never cared for him since his dealings coming out of the draft and not signing with Philly. LaRussa didn't care for him in Stl either. It's like Ned said about Hochevar, if it's about the money now,it will always be about the money. If he were more concerned about his performance than his salary he would earn my respect, but that will never happen!
The other thing is everybody blames Boras, but these are grown men who Boras represents , they should have a mind of their own and know right from wrong.
i will never like Boros!!
Yes fliegel, I DO blame Scott Boras. He latches onto most of these "grown men" when they are 17 or 18 year old high school kids (or younger) and poison's their young and impressionable minds with visions of untold wealth. He encourages them to hold out signing with the teams that draft them in the hopes that they will get huge signing bonuses. It worked for J.D. Drew, Jered Weaver, and a number of other young players who were first round draft picks.
He is certainly not the only agent out there, but he has definitely had the biggest (negative) impact on the sport from a fan's (and owner's) perspective.
Unfortunately, he represents so many players in the game today that it is impossible not to have to deal with him at some point in time.
Career franchise players and team loyalty died on the day that free agency was born (except for Craig Biggio, that is).
Do not look for Scott Boras to ever change his tactics. In fact, look for other agents to follow his lead.
Don't get me wrong, Boras is a snake ,and he's only out for himself. He is one of the things wrong with the game today. What I'm saying is that the players should take some responsibility in their decisions and not follow Boras blindly.
Wow! Did you read the article about Lasorda? You gotta love this quote:
"A lot of the players today have agents that [keep them from] doing a lot of things they should be doing."
That pretty much sums up the Boras/Drew thing, huh?
Dualtone!!!! Your line-up is off the hook. Now that's a World Series line-up if I ever saw one. Nough said.
yeah, i agree with dualtone's lineup but i dunno about trading repko–we might need a back up OF and he plays wtih heart–dont wanna see him go
The way I look at it, we made Drew what he is today. Little played him perfectly all year. Little moved him in the lineup all year for the best results and Drew came through more times then not. Some would say his best year ever !!! I think the fact that he's the glass princess that he is, he knows he's looking at the last contract of his playing career, which is the difference of $33 mil for 3 years vs $60 for 5 years.
If we look at it in dollars and cents, Drew was sure to get $33 Mil for the next three years. After that it completely depends on what he does with that three years !! History tells us that he's NOT prone for successful back to back seasons. So assuming he's middle of the road for the next three years and he's 35 when his contract expires, the very best he can expect for the following 3-5 years is $5mil to $7 mil per year. That makes it at best $68 mil at the age of 40, and that's assuming everything goes his way !! Now look at it the way it is today. Assuming he can get at least $60 mil for the next 5 years, he only has to earn $8 mil for the remaining 3 years to get the same $68 mil. But if he can get $70 to $80 mil for 5-7 years from some stupid owner and another $10 mil after that, by the time he's 40 he'll have earned far more then his potential if he had stayed. So either way, if he's good or bad for the remainder of his career he earns far more then if he stayed. The only gamble to all of this is can he get that next big 5 year contract ?? Time will tell !!
One thing is for sure, neither Drew nor Boras have a "Love of the Game", They only have a love of money. And the last time I looked, money doesn't win championships !! I can only hope that Drew ends up in someplace like KC or Tampa or JAPAN !!! It would serve him right !!
Go Ned !!!
Go Dodgers !!
I don't harbor any ill will towards JD. I am just glad he/Boros made the decision to move on. As someone mentioned, these guys are grown men so they should know what they are doing and not just blame the agent. I can't quite go that far. I think 53 is right. Boros grabs onto these guys as kids and the love of the game is lost then. Boros is not the only greedy agent but certainly the one that irritates me the most. Also the GM's and owners are grown men too. They are the best friends the agents have. An agent can't secure an absurd contract unless there is a partner to sign it. eg. $25M/yr for A-Rod, $11M/yr for JD.After all is said and done, I do wish JD success and happiness with another team.
"The Dodgers also plan to explore signing a center fielder, perhaps Kenny Lofton or Juan Pierre, and a starting pitcher or two. They'll talk with Jason Schmidt, Barry Zito and Greg Maddux, but the latter two players are represented by Boras, whose players do not tend to sign quickly. If the Angels miss out on Matsuzaka, they'll inquire about Zito too."
that's a quote from the L.A. Times i REALLY REALLY hope the Dodgers don't go after Pierre that guy probably has THE WORST ARM IN ALL OF THE MLB.
A. Ramirez signed a five year deal with Cubs. So, the beat goes on.
"A. Ramirez signed a five year deal with Cubs. So, the beat goes on."
Good for them. This keeps LaRoche in the picture for 2008 or even late '07. Also, I'm not giving up on Wilson Betemit just yet. I think this kid has a lot of talent and can only get better with playing time.
I agree Kevin. Think they both need a shot at fulltime in the next year or two. Gotta protect the kids. Also the talk about contracts is absolutely scary. Can't imagine that kind of money being paid. eg. Padilla $40Mfor 4 years. Go Dodgers!!
i saw Betemit play today, he hit a double i also saw Tony Abreu the annoucers were raving on how great his glove is he's tearing the Dominican winter league with i think a 355 avg. i've yet to see Matt Kemp play though.
5 points on the Outfield (Sorry, it's a long one)
1) JD Drew and Kenny Lofton are now free agents. Here are their numbers for 2006:
Batting: .283/.393/.498, 2 SB, 3 CS, 20 HR
Rate2: 110
Batting: .301/.360/.403, 32 SB, 5 CS, 3 HR
Rate2: 93
2) Part of having Drew and Lofton, though, was the fact that neither were available to play every day. So then here are their batting lines including the plate appearances of the other at bats for their position:
DREW + Other RF: .275/.377/.475
LOFTON + Other CF:
The Dodgers were able to put up a .708 OPS off the bench in right, but only a .690 OPS in center. This isn't that big a difference, but it can be explained a bit by the fact that there were more players who were eligible for the corner outfield than center.
3) The Dodgers have 2 real options for power on the free agent market, Soriano and Lee; here are their average performances over the last 3 years and a prediction on how many homers they would hit next year (I made an assumption for the number of at bats next year, and divided this by the their at-bats per home run for 2004-2006):
Available potentially via trade are
Soriano got a boost this year, his first year in the NL (also in a division with weak pitching), and Wells may see a similar effect if traded for considering he is coming from the AL.
4) The Dodgers need not one, but two bats, so what is probably most likely is one of the 5 above players, and another player that's pretty good but not quite as good. This is where Colletti will either make a trade out of nowhere or sign an old guy. Old guy candidates include Lofton, Nomar, Moises Alou, and Luis Gonzalez. As for trades out of nowhere, try Detroit. Now that they landed Sheffield, he'll DH and play occasionally in the outfield. With Granderson in center and Ordonez in right, the Tigers will have to pick Monroe or Thames for left field, and the other may be a viable option for the Dodgers. The best Devil Ray available is Carl Crawford, and while he would be a premium trade option, it's about time we got someone good from Tampa.
5) The Dodgers will also have to make a statement about the future. I happen to think that they want Matt Kemp, but if Andruw Jones or Vernon Wells becomes available, he seems like a logical trading piece. Other young players such as Andy Laroche, Jonathan Broxton, Chad Billingsley, Hong-Chih Kuo, Justin Orenduff, Mark Alexander, Greg Miller, etc, might be on Colletti's mind to trade. These are the hardest decisions to make, to keep the most useful players to the organization.
Headed to Maine for the week. Looking forward to good news when I check in on Saturday. Ray you look after the kids. They are the building blocks.
Just when you thought the Arizona Diamondbacks uniforms couldn't get any uglier… they suddenly are. The new color = good. The new script = train wreck. Man, am I ever glad to be a Dodgers fan.
Have a good trip Harold !!
Big week coming up !! GM meetings and this year the Dodgers should be well prepared !! patriotacts I like your stats and your review looks dead on, but if I had to guess, I'd say Ned is looking for something off the radar. I think he'll go after Zito and Soriano but only to a limit. The LA Times today says the Angels are going to bid hard for Soriano, and if Ramirez can get $75 mil from the Cubs, Soriano looks to go for at least $100 mil. **** Drew looks to be in a good position to get that $60 mil for 4-5 years now !! I think Ned will now look for two or three 20 hr guys instead of one big bat, which makes Nomar a strong canidate !! Problem is it becomes a trade situation for the other two and that puts Ray's kids at risk. I think patriotacts is right about Kemp, he'll be up for grabs to the highest bidder.
Let the fun begin !!
Go Ned !!
Go Dodgers !!
Right you are!!!!
They are REALLY ugly!!!
Yeah, the worst part is how the letters don't line up right. The script looks stupid too.
I'll have more to say on the next thread.

I do not believe we can live in victory unless we realize there is power in what we say.
As believers, we need to be trained to understand the soul, which is made up of the intellect, will and emotions. Since it is full of "self" and does not want to submit to the Holy Spirit, it must be purified (see 2 Tim. 2:2).
Because we are free moral agents our own minds tell us what we think, but our thoughts are not necessarily God's thoughts. Our wills dictate what we want, despite what He desires for us. And our emotions govern our feelings, but our hearts should instead be subject to Him.
As the soul is purified it is trained to carry God's thoughts, desires and feelings, and then we become mouthpieces for Him. I do not believe we can live in victory unless we realize there is power in what we say.

We usually talk about the "mountains" in our lives, but God's Word instructs us to talk to them, as Jesus did in Mark 11:22-23. In saying that we are to speak to the mountain, commanding it to be lifted up and thrown into the sea, Jesus was making a radical statement that merits further study. It is obvious that we are not to hurl our wills at the challenges in our lives; we must respond to them with the Word of God.
In Luke 4, when Satan was trying to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, the Lord responded to every trial by speaking Scripture. He repeatedly said to Satan, "It is written," and quoted verses that met the lies and deceptions of the devil head-on.
We have a tendency to try this for a while, but when we do not see quick results we stop speaking the Word to our problems and begin once again to speak our feelings. Persistence is a vital link to obtaining victory. We must know what we believe and be determined to stick with it to the end.
To make sure we maintain balance in this teaching, let me say that speaking the Word is powerful and absolutely necessary in overcoming any problem or negative situation. However, it is not the only doctrine in God's Word.
For example, obedience is extremely important. If a person thinks he can live in disobedience but speak to his mountains, he will be sadly mistaken, as Jesus clearly stated in Mark 11:22-26:
"And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
"For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
"But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings" (Amplified Bible).
Multitudes of people who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior fall into the deception of trying to operate in one of God's principles while completely ignoring another.
We must take the time to learn the Word of God and know the Father's heart. Although many things are clearly defined in Scripture, other spiritual matters require that we make decisions about them even when they are not spelled out in black and white.
It takes time to know God as well as our own hearts. Learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and see God's will accomplished in your life.
Remember, words are containers of power and they bind us. Our hearts must be right before the Lord, for it is out of the of the heart that the mouth speaks—for good or evil.

Hypes: Refined Seating Area, Fresh Aero Face, Vast Rear Seat Legroom
Gripes: No Paddles on LE CVT
Corolla is Toyota's Gold Glove Shortstop, in other words, their Franchise Player. With a completely redesigned entry for 2014, Toyota will almost certainly sell close to 300,000 Corollas in the coming year. Buyers will queue in droves for this most affordable and value rich Toyota of them all. Its base price, in mid-range LE form, is just $19,400.
Part of Corolla's appeal lies in its seemingly endless choice of power train and trim combinations. There are 4 model lines (L,LE, LE Eco and S), subdivided into 11 drive and gearbox mutations. The LE range, subject of this test, is available in 3 flavors, CVT, CVT Plus and CVT Premium. The CVT designation refers to the transmission used across the LE range, a constantly variable transmission (hence "CVT") coupled to a 1.8 liter inline 4 that is standard in all LE models. This double overhead cam engine, refined with variable valve timing, produces 132hp and 138lb.-ft. of torque. If you desire an up rated "Eco" motor, you can opt for the Eco or S model Corolla, and thereby gain 8 extra horses.
The 140hp S Plus is available with a 6 speed manual transmission, making it the only new Corolla with a gearbox containing real gears. If you enjoy the art of driving, the 6-speed S Plus will be your best option. The CVT in our test LE proved long on noise and short on performance. With only 3 range choices available (Drive, Sport and Braking), the base model CVT is constantly making decisions for you about engine speed that you would be better off making yourself. If you're determined to go automatic, at least consider upgrading to the S model range, which includes paddle shifters and a "Sport" driving range to give you some manual control in optimizing engine performance.
Our LE Premium included the following improvements over the base model LE: 16 inch alloy wheels, integrated fog lights, SofTex trimmed, heated front seats, 8 way power adjustable driver's seat, and 4 way adjustable front passenger's seat with map pocket in the seat back. It's curious that even in the Premium combo pack, Toyota didn't see fit to include a map pocket in the driver's seat back as well. The new for 2014, SofTex material, which Toyota touts as "elegant with the environment in mind," is leather-like, but washable. It's also very comfy. In fact, the redesigned interior is pleasingly benign and unobtrusive. A handsome beltline pinstripe of celestial blue garnishes the dash and door panels. Automatic Climate Control is standard on the LE Premium, operated with a simple, oversized single knob that's a pleasure to use.
Parents buying children Corollas will love the fact that this entry level sedan contains 8 airbags to protect their progeny. On the other hand, the progeny will find that the strongest selling point of the new Corolla is Toyota's suite of built-in Apps.
Of course, the connectivity costs extra, $1,510 for the "Driver Convenience Package" which brings you every conceivable manner of input: Entune Navigation and App Suite, AM/FM CD Player with MP3 and WMA Playback capability, USB 2.0 port with IPod connectivity, Hands Free Phone capability, Music Streaming via Bluetooth Wireless Technology, and 90 day free trial of XM Satellite Radio. This package includes so many distractive nuisances that it ought to be renamed the Driver Inconvenience Package. For staid old folks, the package also includes Smart Key Keyless Entry with push button remote for trunk unlatching.
Thus, the LE Premium, enhanced with the "Driver Convenience Package," is going to be ground zero for buyers seeking an affordable living room on wheels. The fact that those 16 inch wheels are a little small for great handling, and shod with unimpressively diminutive all weather tires (Michelin Primacy MXV 205/55R16)) won't matter a whit to symphonic sycophants more concerned with music playlists than apex angles.
2014 Toyota Corolla LE Premium
- Engine: 1.8 liter DOHC inline 4 with VVT-i
- Horsepower: 132hp
- Torque: 128lb.-ft.
- Fuel Consumption: 29 MPG City/38 MPG Highway
- Price as Tested: $22,570
- Star Rating: 7 out of 10 Stars

Ski areas get fresh snow before Christmas week
Change to rain drives skiers from slopes
New Hampshire ski areas have received fresh snow from this week's storm, and they're hoping that brings skiers to the slopes.
Black Mountain in Jackson got nearly a foot of fresh snow. Despite the recent snow, there were no skiers on the trails at Cranmore Mountain on Tuesday because the snow had switched to rain.
"Yesterday we got 9 inches of snow, and the skiing was incredible, and of course, one day of rain won't wash all that away," said Kathy Bennett of Cranmore Mountain.
Ski areas have also been making snow to mix with the natural kind. Officials said they are hoping for a strong holiday week.
"They are already calling to get their lodging at all the hotels in town," Bennett said. "Ski lesson reservations are ongoing."
Cranmore has opened 18 trails, with four or five more expected to open next week. At Black Mountain, 10 trails are open.
"We have upgraded our snowmaking," said John Flashner of Black Mountain. "Last year, we weren't able to open until Christmas week, and now, we have had a couple trails open. We opened this weekend, and it was really nice."

HARWINTON >> Over one year after its presentation to Harwinton residents, ground has broken at the former Citgo gas station on a new building for the Harwinton Ambulance Association. The groundbreaking is the culmination of over a year of wrangling since Harwinton voters approved the proposal in a 527-308 vote. While the vote to approve the project was on schedule, not much else has been since the referendum, as the Board of Selectmen delayed their approval to protect Harwinton's interests, as First Selectman Michael Criss said after the board cleared the path for the project at a May 16 special meeting. "As elected officials," Criss wrote in a press release, "voted by the people to represent their needs, we have a fiduciary responsibility to the voters in town to honor their vote." Criss said the board put the brakes on the project to avoid legal ramifications, such as battles over liability and water lines. According to Criss, who was named First Selectman in elections just weeks after the project was approved, the Board of Selectmen was handed a proposal without protection. The Philadelphia Insurance Company agreed to defend Harwinton against lawsuits, opening the door for the Board of Selectmen to approve the project by a 2-1 vote. Criss and former First Selectman Frank Chiaramonte voted in favor of the project at the May 16 meeting, while Jon Truskauskas voted against the plan. "My administration inherited the Harwinton Ambulance project," Criss wrote in the press release, "and it is our obligation to voters to ensure that safety and security issues be addressed before proceeding to a closing. For this reason, we felt an insurance policy needed to be in place. Had no insurance been in place, this project probably would not have happened." At the time of the referendum, the town expected to demolish the former gas station before the winter of 2011, but the station still stands. Instead of gas pumps, though, a backhoe takes up much of the lot, which has a sizable hole and is taped off. Construction on the new ambulance facility was expected to begin in the spring, but that will have to wait. The association needed more space due to its continued growth, as its current home -- the third in the association's history -- no longer meets its needs. Nearly all of the project is funded through state grants, with the Harwinton Ambulance Association contributing $100,000 to help see the new headquarters through. The grants, which total $970,000, will pay the $325,000 bill for the former Citgo gas station at 166 Burlington Road. The property was owned by Drake Petroleum and abuts the Harwinton Volunteer Fire Department's headquarters. The rest of the grant, as well as the association's $100,000 contribution, will pay for the new headquarters. Voters approved the project Since its inception on May 9, 1963, the Harwinton Ambulance Association has bounced from a Harmony Hill Road barn to the Harwinton town garage, where it moved six months into the association's existence. 15 years later, the association began searching for a larger space, finding one at Davis Road. But the association quickly outgrew this facility as well, even after an early-90's expansion which added space for a second ambulance. The facility lacked decontamination showers, a bunk room, kitchen facilities and a sufficient meeting area, leading the association to the derelict gas station.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you troubleshoot issues with a SATA cable, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Hard disk drive
Hard drive controller (for example, motherboard)
SATA cable
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the hard disk drive, hard drive controller, and SATA cable in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different hard disk drive, hard drive controller, and SATA cable in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the hard disk drive, hard drive controller, and SATA cable, it is recommended that you do the following:
Make sure that the hard drive is spinning without the SATA cable attached. The power cable should make the drive spin if it is a mechanical drive and not a solid state drive.
If your operating system is not detecting the hard disk drive, make sure that the drive is formatted with a partition (for example, NTFS or FAT32). If you are using a computer running a version of Windows, a drive letter must also be assigned to the hard disk drive.
For more information about how to initialize a drive, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=hard-drives#initialize-hard-drives.

Riesling Report: Hiedler Riesling Urgestein 2009
We're celebrating the Summer of Riesling by trying a different bottle every weekday. Got a favorite riesling? Recommend it in the comments!
Sometimes a wine has a little peppery alcohol heat, or a hint of the slightly floral note of white pepper, but I have never tasted a wine with such a vivid freshly-cracked black pepper flavor as this. It's unmistakable, building and soaring as you swallow. This wine is almost plush compared to the other Austrian rieslings we've tried lately, tart and slim but rounded with floral and vegetable flavors, hints of fennel and loads of celery stalks. We were reminded of a light chicken broth made with lots of cooked carrots, celery, and maybe a fennel bulb. And of course, pepper ground on top. Precise and cutting limelike acids keep it fresh.
There's an umami character to this riesling; it has a savory quality that would make it a worthy partner for light-fleshed fish and soy-dipped sushi, miso-glazed cod or even delicately smoked trout.
About $22, sample provided for review.

Most of the Monterey motor week, held each August on California's Monterey Peninsula, is pretty static — from the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to the Concorso Italiano, the cars are just sitting there, looking pretty. Sprinkled about the Peninsula are at least six auctions and admittedly, the cars rolling across the auction block do break the static mold, but most of the time is spent just looking at parked cars.
But not at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, about 10 miles east of Monterey. From August 14 through August 17, dozens of classic race cars — Ferraris, Maseratis, Aston Martins, Jaguars, Porsches — tore around the 2.2-mile track during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
Here was a 1970 Ferrari 512M, there went a gaggle of older Porsches. And what about that 1957 Aston Martin DBR2? Have a look at this gallery of Sports Car Digest images by photographer Dennis Gray. They're terrific pictures and they will certainly give you a better idea of it all than anything more I can say.

R. Dodge, J. Dombrowski, B. Jung, M. Leffak, J. Leung, P. Martin, T. McKee, J. Ovington, J. Paietta,
L. Ream, J. Rudisill, C. Ryan, K. Scordo, V. Shalin, J. Sherman, T. Sudkamp, C. Taylor, J. Thomas (Chair), P. Vermeersch, A. Wendt, R.Williams
Non-voting attendees were: B. Gray, S. Foster, L. Higgins, J. Kimble, G. Malicki, W. Sellers, V. Sethi
II. Approval of Minutes
It was moved and seconded that the minutes of the February 13, 2006 meeting be approved as written. Motion carried unanimously.
III. Report of the Dean (J. Thomas)
Spring quarter enrollment figures indicate a decrease of 1.2% in total graduate head count, and an increase of 4% in graduate credit hours.
Requests for 2006-2007 appointments to the Graduate Council and Graduate Council Committees (Student Affairs, Policies, Membership Committees and Research Council) will be circulated mid-May. Department Bylaws should be followed where appropriate when determining the appointments.
The annual Graduate Student Excellence Awards Program is scheduled for May 24, 2006, at 5:00 pm, in the Student Union Formal Lounge. Nominations are requested by April 28. All members of the Graduate Council are invited to attend.
J. Thomas thanked the Council for a productive academic year and stated that he appreciated all the hard work and accomplishments realized by the Council and its Committees.
IV. Committee Reports
• Policies Committee (L. Ream)
The Reading Committee for the proposed Master of Information Systems (MIS) recommended this new program to the Policies Committee. Documents provided to the Policies Committee included the Report of the MIS Reading Committee, the Executive Summary of the Proposed MIS Program, and the MIS Course Schedule and Organization document, The program will require 48 credit hours to complete, and is designed to be completed in 5 quarters. Expected enrollment is around 30 students. The Committee reviewed and discussed the documents at length, and was impressed with the technical, structural, and operational aspects of the program. Concern, however, was expressed with respect to faculty resources needed to support the program. Following discussion, the Committee voted 3-yes; 1-no; and 2-abstain to rercommend the program for approval to the Graduate Council. After some discussion, the Council voted unanimously to approve the program.
Changes in the M.S. in Nursing: Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) concentration were reviewed by the Committee. Three changes to the concentration were proposed. Changes 1 and 2 involved reducing clinical hours (from 4 to 2) in NUR 726 and NUR 727, respectively, to bring the courses in line with American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) clinical hour course recommendations. Change 3 recommended that NUR 728 be included within the CNL master's program, as opposed to being a post-graduate course for the CNL graduate, as originally recommended by AACN and approved by the Graduate Council. The hours for the CNL concentration, with these revisions, total 59.5 credits. The Committee voted unanimously to approve the changes, which will be initiated in Summer Quarter 2006.
The Committee reviewed a proposed title change in the M.S. in Counseling Program, requesting to change the Counseling: Business and Industrial Management concentration to Counseling: Business and Organizational Management. The Program Advisory Committee in CEHS had stated that the new title would be more reflective of the current content and provide a clearer description of the concentration for marketing puroposes. C. Ryan stated that the CEHS committee found that the term Industrial reflected community usage when the program was established, but that it should now be replaced by Organizational, which is more consistent with the community at present and with terminology currently utilized in CEHS. The Committee voted unanimously to approve the name change for this concentration. Upon the reeport to the Council, a RSCOB council member questioned the use of the word organizational. Dean Thomas asked the Policies Committee look at this concern.
A change in the degree requirements for the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program: Public Health Management concentration, was reviewed by the Committee. The MPH Program asked approval of a larger number of electives for the Management concentration. (The SoM Graduate Studies Committee and the University previously approved expansion of the MPH Program from 52 to 56 credits, in order to comply with new accreditation requirements.) The Committee voted unanimously to approve the change.
• Membership Committee (R. Dodge)
The Committee met April 4 and April 17, 2006 and considered and recommended 5 nominations for full graduate faculty membership and 5 nominations for adjunct full graduate faculty membership.
The full member nominees are:
|Bowling, Nathan
|Hunt, Allen
|Lindsey, Jill
|Ed Leader/ED&HS
|Rafferty, Timothy
|Ed Leader/ED&HS
|Sengupta, Arijit
The adjunct full member nominees are:
|Clark, John
|Hsiang, Shih-Ta
|Shingledecker, Clark
|Sondergaard, Rolf
|Tamirisakandala, S.
It was moved and seconded that the nominees be approved; the motion passed unanimously.
• Student Affairs Committee (B. Gray)
The Committee met on February 21 to interview four applicants for the Regents Graduate/Professional Scholarship. A student who plans to begin his graduate program in Chemistry at Wright State University was the Committee's primary nominee for the fellowship.
Five offers have been made in the accelerated process of the Graduate Council Scholarship Program. To date, one offer has been accepted. Other nominations will be considered by the Student Affairs Committee. Eight Graduate Council Scholars will continue for the second year of the program.
Dean Thomas stressed the importance of the Graduate Council Scholarship program as a beneficial recruiting tool.
- Research Council (W. Sellers)
- Grants and contract awards for FY 2006 were compared to the previous 3 fiscal years. As of this date, compared to the previous 3 years, WSU is currently behind 2004 and 2005 numbers, but ahead of 2003 awards. The award count indicates $35 million received as of March. (An amount $15 million was added in April for a total very close to April 2005.)
- An announcement of the Research Challenge Technology Commercialization program will be made this Spring.
- Research and Sponsored Programs presently maintains two data-base memberships – SPIN and Community of Science (CoS). Because of the expense involved, and in an effort not to duplicate the memberships, Dr. Sellers solicited the Graduate Council to canvass their faculty to determine which search membership is most utilized and, consequently, should be retained. The current preference is to retain Community of Science.V. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:05 p.m.

Posted on 01 May 2007
On February 7, 2006 a major agreement was announced by the Premier of British Columbia, concerning the conservation and management of forests on the coast of Canada's Pacific province, British Columbia. The agreement covers 6.4 million hectares of the largest remaining intact coastal temperate rainforest ecosystems in the world. Of these, 1.8 million ha are to be protected, and the remainder subject to Ecosystem Based Management provisions to secure ecological and social values. WWF believes these agreements represent both a local demonstration of environmental leadership and a globally significant achievement and is therefore nominating the Agreement for recognition as a Gift to the Earth. The award goes to representatives from Canada's indigenous communities, environmental groups, forest companies and the British Columbia government, who worked for more than a decade to conserve ecologically sensitive areas of the rainforest.WWF Contact information :

Two Elected to Augustana Board of Trustees
Delegates attending the Augustana College Association's annual meeting earlier this month elected two new members to serve on the College's Board of Trustees.
The Augustana College Association consists of all congregations in the South Dakota, Western Iowa, Southwestern Minnesota, and Nebraska synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The Association is responsible for electing members to serve on the Board of Trustees.
Joining the Board for three-year terms beginning in January 2012 are:
Dr. Pamela Homan
Homan has served as superintendent of the Sioux Falls School District since 2004, and has spent her entire professional career in public schools as a teacher, special education coordinator, principal, director, and now superintendent. After graduating from Augustana in 1981, she earned her MA degree from Augustana and her EdD in educational administration from the University of South Dakota. Homan is a well-known and respected leader in education in the state of South Dakota, leading one of the larger districts in the Upper Midwest with more than 23,000 students.
Kathy Walsh
A well-known community leader and civic volunteer in Sioux Falls, Walsh and her husband, Tom (Augustana class of '72) own and operate Dakota King, a regional Burger King franchisee operating more than 30 restaurants in five states, headquartered in Sioux Falls. A graduate of South Dakota State University, Walsh supports and helps lead a number of charitable endeavors, most recently the Sioux Falls Catholic School System and the Los Cabos Children's Foundation in Mexico.

Editorial: Dangerous Driving
We're just not paying attention.
It's too soon to say the tragic deaths of two bicyclists in car crashes in Dane County in the last week constitute some kind of trend. But combined with the news that 2012 is shaping up to be the worst year for motorcycle fatalities in two decades, and the fact that not too long ago we were taking about the number of pedestrians being hit by cars, you have to admit that a lot of us are just being stupid. We're not paying attention, we're driving and biking and walking while distracted or worse and we're killing ourselves and each other.
Again, we don't know yet how much of this is related to any particular cause. But we've all had the experience of seeing driver after driver talking on the cell phone, eating, wearing ear buds, everything put paying attention to what they're really doing. I've come to just assume the drivers around me are on the phone. And that is an unnerving thought. We'll stop, when someone close to us is the one killed. But does it really need to come to that?

The card requires an additional crystal if you intend to install an FPU, which allows the FPU to run at a clock speed independently from the processor.

6 Ways To Boost Happinessfrom: Ameshica Moore-Burris Guest Author
People often wonder why happy people are so happy. Do they have special powers? Of course, not! However, they do have ways of mastering their own happiness. They spend time expressing gratitude, cultivating optimism, practicing kindness, nurturing loving relationships, committing to meaningful goals, savoring life's little pleasures, etc... But guess what?
Happiness is available to everyone. Help yourself to it! - Thich Nhat Hanh
We've listed 6 ways you can find your happiness!
1. Mind Your Business:
Yes, this may sound harsh. However, this is a key to happiness. Not allowing yourself to become consumed by others business. Helps you! The energy and time you spend wondering all the "What if's" You are creating negative spaces to dwell in. Instead of worrying or creating anxiety for yourself. Create peace and harmony by removing the discord from your life. Albert Einstein once said, "From discord find harmony". Here's his entire quote:
"Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
- Albert Einstein
2. Seeking approval of others:
Oh my goodness! I can't begin to tell you how many people are affected by approval. No matter from whom you seek approval. You're always dancing with no audience. When you allow yourself to receive judgment for yourself from outside sources. You invite insecurities into your mind. Everyone has some type of insecurities, however, not everyone needs a judge to approve them. If this is you STOP IT! You are enough! You do not have to get approval to be you. Acceptance is key not approval.
3. Seeking happiness from others:
No one can make you happy but YOU! Happiness is a temporary emotion and it's constantly fleeting. You need more and more to stay happy. It is unfair and unrealistic to assign someone to your happiness. When you're forging for happiness you lose the essence of that happiness. Personally, I like finding joy. Joy is everlasting because it's not tied to an emotion. It's based on a sentimental meaning (family, friends, significant other, accomplishment, etc... ). Find your joy source? What's your joy source?
4. Not letting go of the past:
Wanna getaway? OK, this is not a SouthWest Airline commercial. However, it is a commercial for much-needed vacation from your past. Carrying about additional baggage does not bring good into your life. It does exactly the opposite! Just like airlines, you can only have one carry-on and one personal item. Everything else you will be assessed a fee. In life, extra baggage comes with an additional cost as well. But there's good news, it's called opt out! You can opt out of the baggage claim at any time. Letting go is very hard to do. Not moving forward is even harder. How to let go: Forgive him, her or them for their offenses. I tell people to use this sentence I learned years ago. First take a deep breathe then say, I forgive you for ______ and I forgive myself for allowing_________.
5. Negative environments:
OK, this is one of those return to sender situations. I'm always there to comfort any person hurting from a situation. However, I will not take up residency in negative spaces. Staying in negative spaces too long will result in you losing your happiness. I believe in emotional climate control. Just like climate change for the earth. There are outside forces working together with some intentionally and some unintentionally. You have to decide how long will you let your atmosphere be impacted by outside circumstances.
6. Taking on the truth:
This is the most important and trickiest of them all. Truth... it will set you free or make you run and hide. The intent of truth is for correction or bringing light into darkness. You know, truth uncovers lies. Lies we tell others but more importantly lies we tell ourselves. Some lies are fancy aka fantasy! Fantasy is a great and scary phenomenon. In many ways, it can protect you, however, an over exposure or prolong period of fantasy may cause damaging effects on the psyche, whoa it just got real! I've started a series on our Podcast about fantasy and loss. Believe it or not, people grieve a fantasy loss just like grieving a personal loss. You can actually go through stages of grief after a fantasy is lost. Having friends or close confidants that are truth tellers are a blessing. At times, it may not seem that way, when they give you honest feedback or constructive criticism. If they sting you by telling you the truth. Don't end the relationship! Teach them how to deliver truths to you in a non-threatening way. Then you both can Namaste together!
I hope these tools are helpful...
Until next time... Be Happy!

Hello Java Community,
Alright, here is my confession. I am new to Java and boy did I find a new addiction. I started learning Java and I thought why not just build my own program. As I did this, I quickly had new ideas for my program that was out of my programming scope. I truly want to learn java and really become a java god or at least do it to the best of my potential. Anyway, here is were the juicy part comes in or not so juicy depends on your perspective. I grabbed some code to play a wav. file and didn't fully understand the code. You got it out of me. How should I handle this? Should I learn the code and why it works, or wait till I become more skilled full? I mean do you all condone this behavior. I feel as almost as if I cheated. I don't know I don't want to cheat myself out of truth knowledge. Can you all understand or am I just overreacting? Truth be told, we all had to start somewhere. I just feel like I might of skipped a bit. But my program plays sound now. From what I can tell, playing sound is not an easy task in java.

We were just getting warmed up.
Now we find ourselves at the beginning of a bold and ambitious new adventure. Armed with the best talent, state-of-the-art technology, and the finest community on the planet, we're preparing to unleash our newest creation upon the world.
Be brave.
Bungie's horizons are filled with opportunity. If you want to join us on our enduring quest of World Domination, browse our career opportunities.
If you want to tell our story, that would be awesome - especially if you use the right assets. Just like superheroes and sports teams, we can be dangerously specific about the symbols people use to identify us. That's why we have places where you can grab everything you need to talk about Bungie, or our new game called Destiny.

I almost lose it at the last part with the child soldiers. This brilliant ad convinced me to finally write a letter for amnesty international. But then I lost the letter and I think it probably ended up in the recycling pile.

Amnesty International - "Signature"

Blogging isn't the only thing that isn't getting done around here
Kyle and I have an understanding about certain tasks that need to be done around the house. For example, because putting sheets on the bed makes me want to poke my eyes out, Kyle has agreed to do that job. And I put the clean dishes away to spare Kyle the frustration of handling the dishes that he swears must have been loaded into the dishwasher by a blind monkey.
But organizing and dropping off the recycling is something that we both hate equally and nobody is willing to take one for the team when it comes to this household task. Consequently, a massive pile of junk piles up until we can no longer close the pantry door and our food becomes nearly inaccessible. Any time we want some mini wheats or Kahlua (or both), we have to take the risk of being swept across the kitchen floor in an avalanche of refuse. We've learned to remain calm, swim with the flow of recyclables and try to grab onto the fridge door handle if we can.
Even though we do have a serious recycling problem, our habit of letting the stuff accumulate did save me from some marital strife last March when we were doing our taxes. After having searched the house high and low for an important letter from my bank, I came to the agonizing conclusion that I had to dig through our mountain of recycling. It was no small task but thankfully, just as Kyle was preparing to give me a flying head-butt, I produced the tax form from the bottom of one of the bins. Hooray! It took me ages to shove everything back into the pantry but we did get our taxes in on time.
Who knows what treasures are hidden down there this time?

Me: "Oh Chaz, come here. You're so cute. Let's snuggle."
I lay down on the floor beside the dog and start scratching his head.
Kyle: "You want to snuggle with that grubber?"
Chaz looks at me blankly, gets up, and walks away, leaving me alone on the cold floor.
Kyle: "I was talking to the dog."
I get off the floor and chase Kyle down the hall.

Tuesday night, Kyle and I are out for a late walk in our neighbourhood. On our way home, I hear a cat meowing and call it over so that I can pet it.
"I don't know. We could take her to an emergency clinic. But I'm afraid to pick her up. I might hurt her."

Taking time to learn (and not only looking for search
tools) about
finding people for
free is the most
importat part when looking for anyone. In fact it is one of the key ways to do a
people search free of
Most people finder sites will offer you a
supposedly free people locator serviceonly to charge you once you hit the "search"
button. They ask you to key in the first name, last name, city,
ZIP or postal code, state or province and when you hit the search button they tell you
how much it will cost you to complete your search.They essentially offer you a free search, not free
results.There are some few tips on
how to find someone for free by using these (work around) and more services but of course you will need to
learn about them first. So if you are trying to find your long lost
friend, class mate, ex boyfriend, girlfriend or relative you
are in the right place.
Don't be like the millions of people out there who have been
scammed by ruthless people search sites that will charge your credit card for life without you knowing it and only
to find the information presented has long expired.
In this site
we will show you exactly how to find a person online using no cost methods. Since this website site is a how-to
guide of people search, our aim is to do just that – offer you a list of how to search for people guides by using various
methods Such as searching by
name, by email address, by SSNs, by cell phone
number, by street address or simply
by name or surname. More
on this later
We even offer
you comprehensive guides on how to do reverse people searches. This means if you have a
phone number we will show you how to do a reverse phone number search – this way you can
find information about a person by using the piece of info that you have. We will show you how to do reverse
searches using any type of a person's profile info.
It is
important to understand that this site is a people search guide on how to find people for free. We will recommend
people search engines, sites and tools you can use but our focus is more on empowering you with information you
can use to locate any person for free.Our reasoning is that there is always a price to

We suggest you bookmark this site and come back to it as often
as you can to read about a new how to find people for free tip we put up. This help site has helped many to locate
their friends and relatives. So we encourage that you give it a try. On your return simplt use the domain name
ffpf.co and you land right back on this site
As we have
already mentioned, this website seeks to help those looking to find people absolutely free of charge i.e. using a
previous address, license plate, and all that was mentioned above. Using the tips provided here you should be able
to do an effective people search in no time.
There are
more than 6.8 billion people in the world and that alone is almost discouraging when you set out to do a people
search on the internet.
Let's start
with the realities. The internet brings together about 2 billion people to date (this is according to: worldstats),
which means excluding other internet technicalities you have about 30% chance of finding someone when you are using
the internet. This probability only improves when considering specific countries that we discuss
probability is further reduced by some other factors which we discuss throughout this website such as people not
using their real name when surfing the web or are members of "closed" or unsearchable web groups. To find people on
the web is not easy yes but the process of searching can be learnt and applied successfully.
Before you go
far on your learning on how to find people for free, it is important to accept the probability that your person of
interest does not use the internet and his or her address is therefore not listed any where online. The probability
to find info on people varies by country e.g. If you are looking for someone living in a country where internet
reach is very low then you might not find the person's profile or details at all but if you are talking about a
regional search for countries like the US, United Kindgom (UK), Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, and Denmark
then you stand a better chance.
Lastly, This is not a
site that is meant to promote invasion of people's privacy - while you try to find contact info or to find
info on people please respect other people's privacy, before you dig any deeper, remember to acknowledge the
fact that this person might not want you to find him or her. I am obligated to bring to your attention the
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This is a U.S. law that also protects personal privacy, so while you
are out looking for someone's information bare it in mind that their privacy is protected by

It's no surprise that Christina Hendricks curvy, but be careful with your words.
During an interview between Sydney's Sun-Herald fashion editor Kate Waterhouse and the Mad Men star, Hendricks refused to answer a question in which Waterhouse referred to her as a "full-figured woman."
Take a look!
U.S. & World
Hendricks was one of many stars to show off some cleavage at the Emmys
Waterhouse asked, "You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman. What is the most inspiring story that you can remember where you've inspired someone?"
A flustered Hendricks giggles and then responds with, "Um, I don't know...I'm sorry," and looks to what we're guessing is her publicist who asked the interviewer to rephrase the question--but she failed.
"You've been known as an inspiration for women as being a full-figure..." Waterhouse started, before the actress quickly pointed out, "I mean, you just said it again."
Hey, at least she didn't walk off like these celebs
The duo scrapped that question (thankfully) and resumed to talk about Hendrick's event that was going on in Australia, but the star reportedly later said backstage when cameras weren't rolling, "I think calling me full-figured is just rude."

The show will go on for "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Erin Andrews.
"I'm glad I'm here. I have a dance on Monday and I don't want to let [partner] Maks [Chmerkovskiy] down, I don't want to let my family down, and I don't want to let myself down," the ESPN correspondent told People. "I'm not going to stop living my life."
Attorney Mashall B. Grossman confirmed to Access Hollywood on Friday that the star had been the target of death threats.
"As soon as we learned of them the FBI was notified. They are on the case. Erin and her family are protected," he said in a statement to Access, adding that Erin would stay on the ABC reality competition.
"Erin is looking forward to the future and will keep all of her commitments including her appearance on 'Dancing With The Stars,'" he concluded. "We ask that the privacy of Erin and her family be respected."
On Sunday, Erin told People that she wasn't ready to give up on her next dance – the waltz.
"I don't quit on things," she said. "It's not an option for me."
The threat news was the latest drama for the star, who previously dealt with the release of candid video footage shot without her consent.
In March, Michael David Barrett – who shot the peephole tape – was sentenced to 30 months behind bars.

25 years ago, a little girl was given a special sweat shirt. She wore it with pride, and always thought of her Dad and stepmom (who bought it for her) when she put it on.
And, then, when that little girl grew out of it, she put it in a box, hoping someone might wear it and love it again someday, just as much as she used to.
It said,
in New Jersey
Many years later, that little girl who had grown out of her special sweat shirt got her wish:
four little young 'ens who also love that shirt--and some times, even fight over it.
And we love those folks in New Jersey just as much as ever.
I think that shirt means more to me now than it ever could have back then.

If you know me (or even just meet me!), you know that I love the basics. The walls in my home are creamy white; my wardrobe is a uniform of interchangeable layers; and ideally my cooking is confined to three fresh ingredients or less. In knitting, too, I love the basics: stockinette stitch, simple silhouettes, no-fuss engineering, and classic natural fibers.
When not much "extra" is going on, then little shifts have a big impact and slight changes become a fascinating design exercise. A simple garter stitch hat in a cool gray is a whole different thing from the same hat in a warm brown. And The Purl Soho Pullover, originally knit in our Worsted Twist merino, takes on a new life in our gorgeous Alpaca Pure, the latest fiber to join our budding collection of Purl Soho yarns!
Alpaca Pure knits up at the same gauge as our Worsted Twist, but its unique qualities create a significantly different sweater. To me, this is fascinating. The subtle differences in the texture, weight and feel of the alpaca mean a whole new sweater!
Alpaca, with its long fibers, is slightly downier than merino. It is also heavier and denser than merino, which means a super cozy Pullover with a drape like a warm waterfall. But a little goes a long way. For a child, the weight of an Alpaca Pure sweater feels snug and comfy, but for adults it might be a little much (stick with the Worsted Twist!).
And now what I've really been waiting for, the perfect opportunity to show off my beautiful (smart, curious and hilarious) niece, Bobbie, in her favorite new sweater! -Joelle
In addition to a Purl Soho Pullover pattern, you'll need…
- 5 (6, 6, 7, 8) skeins of Purl Soho's Alpaca Pure, 100% alpaca. (I used the color Ballet Pink.)
- A US #7, 24-inch circular needle for body of sweater (or 20-inch for size 2)
- A US #7, 16-inch circular needle for last two rounds of neck
- A US #7 12-inch circular needle for sleeves (or US #7 double pointed needles for size 2)
- A US #6, 16-inch circular needle for neck
- Removable stitch markers (including one in a contrasting color)
- Stitch holders or scrap yarn
4 1/4 stitches = 1 inch in stockinette stitch, using larger needle
This gauge is exactly the same as for the Worsted Twist version (although on a smaller size needle), which means the pattern is exactly the same too!
20¼ (22, 24, 26¼, 28¼, 30)
To fit 12 months (2 years, 4 years, 6 years, 8 years, 10 years), with approximately 1-2 inches of ease
- Finished Chest Circumference: 20¼ (22, 24, 26¼, 28¼, 30) inches
- Length from Shoulder to Bottom Edge: 15¾ (17¼, 19, 19¾, 21¼, 22¼) inches
- Length from Underarm to Bottom Edge: 9¾ (10¾, 12, 12¾, 14¼, 14¾) inches

Sunset Park: Tacos Matamoros, Tacos Ricos, Tacos Xochimilco
We've been on a taco kick at Serious Eats, and while Kenji checked out the scene in East Harlem, I've been eating my way through Sunset Park. So far, I've found three more-than-recommenadable places—but none that does everything right.
Tacos Matamoros
A spacious, friendly Sunset Park restaurant with groups and families almost always filling its tables, Tacos Matamoros has quite a lengthy menu, but just going with tacos (most $1.50) is a fine way to make a meal. Large tacos come with guacamole and there are flour tortilla-based "Super Tacos," but we liked the smaller version. They're made with a double stack of soft, flaky corn tortillas that they warm on the griddle; not the best we've ever had, but more than good enough to eat and enjoy on their own.
Of the five fillings we tried, some were merely passable, but others were memorably good, easily worth a trip back. Our plate of tacos was divided by color—paler meats with a thin green salsa, darker meats with a slightly thicker, slightly spicier red one. In this case, the lighter-colored meats were the weaker. Carnitas were soft and tasty enough, but lacked any crisp whatsoever, the meat mushy and wet; suadero was even softer, a little puddle the tortilla; lengua was chewy rather than tender. But the other two were excellent. Tacos al pastor, the meat shaved from an enormous spit turning in the back, were faintly sweet and intensely juicy, but the chorizo was the real standout. Each little bit you'd bite down on would have a slight crunch and immediately dissolve into sweet, porky fattiness, warmed with cinnamon. I would've liked a little more of a vinegar flavor, but a squeeze of the lime provided gave all the acid this needed.
Tacos Xochimilco
What's New On Serious Eats
Whereas Matamoros has hits and misses, Tacos Xochimilco is all hits—though none as awesome as Matamoros's best. Their own chorizo wasn't quite as deeply spiced or crumbly-juicy; their pastor didn't have the same tender sweetness. Still, I'd eat either one again in a minute. The barbacoa was the most intensely savory and full-flavored, if a bit limp, and the carnitas were fantastic: every bit as crisp and porky as we'd want. Points for the tortillas, too, corn-y and flaky and properly warmed. (Being across the street from each other, I wouldn't be surprised if Xochimilco gets their tortillas from the same spot as Matamoros, though neither restaurant would tell me where theirs were made.)
Tacos Ricos
If you asked where to go for lengua or carnitas or cabeza, I'd have to point you to Tacos Ricos. This lengua in particular was the single best meat of our mini-tour, well-salted with a great sear on one edge, a little bit of crunch before the impossibly tender meat underneath. The cabeza was just as much fun, with some fatty bits and some lean, some crisp and some chewy.
But on our visit, the tortillas were almost inedible—stale, stiff, and lifeless, they tasted about three days old. Our visit was on a Sunday evening, so perhaps they hadn't gotten fresh ones in a few days, and they're better during the week; still, ours were so sad that they sat on the plate uneaten, as we devoured the meaty fillings but left the tortillas behind.
Any Recommendations?
So we've found three great taquerias but all of them lacking in some area—some great tortillas with fillings hit-or-miss, some great tortillas with consistently good meats (but no spectacular ones), some fantastic meats with sub-par tortillas. As of now, we're not sure which one we'd return to first.
