Marlins To Make a Run at James Shields
Marlins To Make a Run at James Shields
Marlins To Make a Run at James Shields
With a thin free agent starting pitching market, the Marlins' best bet may be to add depth via trade. One name that Buster Olney brought up in his blog for ESPN insiders over the weekend was James Shields. According to Olney, the Marlins are considering making a "serious run" at the Rays' Shields.
Shields would be an ideal fit for the Marlins. He's at worst a solid No. 2 starter minus the salary exposure that would accompany a free agent like C.J. Wilson. Shields' contract has three more club option years (2012-'14) at $7 million, $9 million and $14 million, respectively. - Sun Sentinal
This would be a good move for the Marlins. They have a good pitching staff already, and play in a pitcher friendly park. Leaving the AL East would help Shields a lot. However, the biggest problem the Marlins have is with their offense. Besides this move, they should be looking to bring in some bats.By Truth and rumors
Myone said: They are making a good investment with this move. He can surely win a couple of games for them and that would be great. - YOR Health Products 6:02PM 01/09/14

Hi there,
I'm currently developing a child theme for my main wordpress theme.
I'm doing this in a fresh wordpress install. But I need a exact copy of my main blog.
Is there a way to display all posts/Pages and other settings from my main wordpress install on my development blog, without copying the real content? This way I don't have to copy all the content and use all the server space twice?
Hope someone can help me with this.

IPCC Plans Special Reports on a 1.5°C Limit, Land Use and Oceans During AR6 Cycle [viewed]
13 April 2016: During the 43rd session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-43), the Panel considered its role in supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement as the IPCC embarks on its sixth assessment cycle. In planning for the cycle, the IPCC decided to undertake three special reports (SRs), flag cities as an SR for the seventh assessment report (AR7) cycle, refine the IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories through a methodology report and integrate regional aspects more thoroughly into AR6. It was also announced that Abdalah Mokssit (Morocco) will be the next IPCC Secretary.

Long snapper's sleight of hand keeps teammates, TV audience amused
PHILADELPHIA >> So Jon Dorenbos is the Eagles' longest-tenured player, and recognized annually as one of the funniest of locker room characters. That's not bad for somebody who wouldn't be an NFL player if not for an amazingly quick hand and his magical ability to overcome childhood tragedy.
Rob Parent: Two Eagles stumping for forgiveness after off-field missteps
PHILADELPHIA >> It's the first day for veterans to report to training camp at the NovaCare Complex, and not just another Thursday practice, what with downpours chasing all the convention phonies off Pattison Ave.
Bradford quick to applaud Eagles' new/old offense
PHILADELPHIA >> How different is Doug Pederson's first training camp from Chip Kelly's third as an Eagles' head coach? One look at the smiling face of quarterback Sam Bradford offered a clue.
Rob Parent: As trade deadline looms, time to part with Chooch?
PHILADELPHIA >> Eleven days until the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline and the swap-worthy name of the day is ... yeah, you guessed it ... Carlos Ruiz.
Hellickson shows his worth by schooling Fish
PHILADELPHIA >> Just as Jeremy Hellickson seems to be rounding into the top-of-the-rotation veteran this club of young pitchers could really use, his name is making the rounds of the MLB trade rumor circuit.
Jack McCaffery: As Flyers retrench, defiant Hakstol says they 'could have won' series against Caps
VOORHEES, N.J. >> From the distance of his spot behind the bench to the icy surface where the Flyers' last season was slipping away, Dave Hakstol was convinced that his only Stanley Cup playoff series could have ended differently.
Brennan back home again ... with Flyers
T.J. Brennan could have been back at Moorestown High, verbally trying to get in touch with his feelings in a philosophy class.
Mackanin loves Franco's aggressive swing — to a point
PHILADELPHIA >> What Pete Mackanin loves about Maikel Franco he's advising Maikel Franco to not do.
Rob Parent: Nola's skid continues, making his status unclear
PHILADELPHIA >> It wouldn't have been news to Aaron Nola to hear that his scheduled start Saturday night against the Kansas City Royals was an important assignment.
Low-cost gambles could outnumber free agent bidding wars
The newly re-signed Steven Stamkos is once again the face of the future for the Tampa Bay Lightning, so he's no longer the face of NHL Free Agency Commencement, Class of 2016.
Lindros could get long-awaited Hall of Fame call
The weakest first-time eligible group in decades has left the doors open to the Hockey Hall of Fame for several players who have been awaiting the call.
Despite goalie depth, Flyers gotta have Hart
You'll have to excuse Carter Hart if he doesn't seem to know a whole lot about the Flyers' stock of goaltenders. It's just not something that entered his thoughts after he heard his name called Saturday morning as a second-round draft pick for the club.
Rob Parent: Injury, family tragedy moved Flyers' draft pick to show his fortitude
When gauging how much youthful bang they get for their hard-earned hockey bucks, general managers page through the usual assortment of mandated gifts. Ron Hextall was no different Saturday as he summed up his two days of NHL Draft efforts.
Grandpa Moniak steals the show from Phillies' top pick
PHILADELPHIA >> It was supposed to be the Mickey Moniak show on the basement-level stage at Citizens Bank Park Tuesday, but somebody in Mickey's personal clubhouse stole the show.

PHILADELPHIA >> Maikel Franco missed his third straight start Wednesday night but he wanted the mini-vacation to stop there.
Rob Parent: Tommy's two-step costs Phils in ninth
WASHINGTON >> Ninth inning. Too many losses lately, too tempting of an opportunity to not finish putting this one away. So Tommy Joseph quite literally put his foot down Sunday. In the future, maybe he'll know better.
Adam Morgan hits the switch, shakes off slow start for Phillies
WASHINGTON >> Just another ho-hum quality start Sunday by Adam Morgan. Just another game in which he seemed to be falling off the edge of this latest major league roller-coaster ride.

PHILADELPHIA >> Ryan Howard will be in the starting lineup against the Cubs Tuesday night, and what happens beyond that with him appears to be increasingly uncertain.

Mackanin not overjoyed with Hernandez's mammoth shot
PHILADELPHIA >> With one mighty swing of the bat Saturday, Cesar Hernandez struck a chord of fear in his manager. Pete Mackanin should only be so scared more often.

PHILADELPHIA >> The Phillies' needy offense went off the rails again Saturday, turning what had been an encouraging lead into a cold twilight at Citizens Bank Park after a 6-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Joseph cleans up in No. 4 spot, Phils sink Marlins
PHILADELPHIA >> Granted a second straight start ahead of Ryan Howard at first base Tuesday night, Tommy Joseph made the most of his chance.
Rob Parent: Joking aside, Phils' manager Mackanin makes a powerful statement
PHILADELPHIA >> This is pure speculation, another reason why these things are called columns, but Pete Mackanin might have gone into his usual laid-back, pre-game media session Tuesday with an agenda.
Phillies catcher Rupp hopes to return this week
PHILADELPHIA >> Despite a compression sleeve wrapped around his left ankle Monday, Phillies social media hero Cameron Rupp was in an upbeat mood and is hopeful of making a return to action this week.
PARENT: Eickhoff's struggles taking shine off Phils' start
PHILADELPHIA >> So chalk it up as back-to-back bad games for the Phillies, which is something the fans might be surprised about if they were trusting in the power of continued suspension of baseball reality.

PHILADELPHIA >> What, Pete Mackanin worry?

PHILADELPHIA >> He was wearing the usual post-game flip-flops, which if they don't dig into sand can tend to make you weave a little when you walk across the carpeted clubhouse.
Phils' GM Klentak happily explains team's surprising start
PHILADLEPHIA >> Six weeks into what was supposed to be another rebuilding season, Matt Klentak, the affable 36-year-old Phillies general manager, doesn't pretend to have any magic answers to a question so many local observers are asking these days.

Count Mackanin among Morgan's biggest fans
PHILADELPHIA >> One of Pete Mackanin's toughest choices of the spring came back around Friday to ease his conscience. Adam Morgan, one of the phlopping Phils' better feel-good stories in their disastrous 2015 campaign, was back where a lot of people think he belongs, in the Phillies' starting rotation.
What were the Phillies' odds of having a winning April?
PHILADELPHIA >> Try as they might, the dwindling elder generation in Phillies uniforms are well aware they aren't going to completely escape the angst-ridden aura of 2015 anytime soon.
Gomez is surprise stopper in Phillies' revamped bullpen
PHILADELPHIA >> One given entering this Phillies season was that the bullpen was a work in progress at best. Another given was that someone ... anyone ... was going to have to step in for traded closer Ken Giles.
Hextall's disappointment may loosen Flyers' purse strings
VOORHEES, N.J. >> Two full seasons of Flyers hockey with Ron Hextall as the general manager are in the books, and more importantly, are apparently ingrained in his thoughts.
Flyers' Hextall has a lot of work to do in offseason
PHILADELPHIA >> Certainly there were regrets and wistful what-ifs, but there were also a few feel-good moments in the Flyers' locker room after their season-closing, 1-0 loss Sunday to the Washington Capitals.
Generating offense is still the Flyers' top priority
VOORHEES, N.J. >> He has yet to score in five postseason games, has been a minus player in the series, hasn't appeared as quick as usual and even more surprisingly, Claude Giroux has won less than half the faceoffs he's taken against a few skilled Washington Capitals centers.
Hextall knows a little something about goaltending excellence
VOORHEES, N.J. >> Maybe this was why Ron Hextall called Michal Neuvirth's name when the free agent bidding wars got underway last July 1. He knew Neuvirth was a goaltending leader of an OHL championship junior team in Plymouth, Mich.
Jack McCaffery: Michal Neuvirth's calm approach kept the Flyers from collapsing
WASHINGTON >> One of the Flyers' traditions, and they have had plenty, has been to print an inspirational slogan onto 20,000 orange tee-shirts and distribute them to fans at each postseason home game.
White's fluky goal is all Neuvirth needs as Flyers blank Caps to stay alive
WASHINGTON >> Ryan White looked like he was trying to get the puck across the Washington slot to Sam Gagner. Instead, the puck hit Taylor Chorney's left skate and hung a left, sneaking past Capitals goalie Braden Holtby.
LIVE: Celebration for Philadelphia Flyers founder Ed Snider being held at Wells Fargo Center
A celebration of the life of Ed Snider, founder, owner and chairman of the Philadelphia Flyers today at 1 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Center.
Friends, family celebrate Snider's well-lived life
PHILADELPHIA >> It wasn't too long of a public goodbye, nor was it particularly heavily attended by the general public. But the "Ed Snider, Celebration of a Legend" event Thursday at Wells Fargo Center could only be characterized as classy.
Newfound confidence has Giroux, Flyers eager for Game 5
PHILADELPHIA >> It may have taken four games, but the Flyers finally got their No. 1 line heavily involved in their series that finally is a series with the Washington Capitals.
Neuvirth finds his rhythm as Flyers beat Caps to extend series
PHILADELPHIA >> For just about all of the third period Wednesday night, the Flyers were hanging on by a thread as thin as a wrist band.
Laughton hospitalized after awkward tumble into boards
PHILADELPHIA >> It was the fervent hope of everyone on the ice and the benches that what they had just seen would turn out to look worse than it was.
Jack McCaffery: Hakstol showed the toughness to make right moves at right time
PHILADELPHIA >> Dave Hakstol awoke Tuesday morning, hours after one of the worst periods of his coaching career. He knew what he'd seen the night before. But he knew what he'd seen, too, for the three months before that.
Early power-play goal gives the Flyers a needed charge
PHILADELPHIA >> No matter how many times they examined it, player for player, skill for skill, the Flyers never changed one belief. Their No. 1 power-play unit should succeed, could succeed, would succeed.
Another Capital slap on wrist for Flyers, fans
PHILADELPHIA >> If it's any consolation, perhaps the Flyers and their front office caretakers can use this lost Washington Capitals series as a lesson ahead of free agency season. Their forward stars aren't getting any younger during this prolonged period of organizational restocking, and with too little supporting cast skill, all the hard work and bravado they can muster will invariably go unrewarded against real playoff teams.
Jack McCaffery: In the end, NHL knew it would miss Ed Snider
PHILADELPHIA >> It may or may not have been one of his last wishes, but given the history of the Flyers and the NHL, Ed Snider was provided with a significant tribute Monday.

I would like to gently add to the author of this thread that I literally had to jump through hoops to become eligible. Get this, my father is retired US Army, my brother US Navy and my son is currently IN the Air Force. The thing is, everything they asked for I complied. I sent social security cards, copies of ids, check stubs, birth certs all of it. It took about a month or two before everything was sorted out and I was polite but firm throughout it all. Now the benefits roll in for the entire family.
Are there other credit union options? Of course.
The thing is NFCU is elite when it comes to service and they are notoriously luscious to their members. And the members in turn, value the services and financial opportunites that come from having an institution like this behind you. My advice is to be kind, state the facts, send what they request and be professionally persistent IF you want to become a member.

Not as Easy as A,B,C
Fighting crime in one of Manhattan's rougher neighborhoods.
The New York City of today is so far from the 1980s version of the city depicted in "Alphaville," a real-life account of crime fighting in what was then one of Manhattan's rougher neighborhoods, that many readers may find the stories of criminality and chaos improbable. Hollywood's version of New York before the mid-1990s ascent of Rudolph Giuliani is a good reminder of how bad things once were. Think only of "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Taxi Driver" (1976) or, for that matter, "Alphabet City" (1984), a film about drugs wars on the Lower East Side. Perhaps appropriately, Michael Codella, a former detective with the New York City Police Department, and Bruce Bennett, a freelance writer, tell the story of Mr. Codella's policing days in an almost film-like fashion.
"Alphaville" opens in the early summer of 1988, when Mr. Codella and his partner, Gio, patrol Avenue D while "sticky black bubbles on a new piece of macadam silently pop and drool." In those bad old days, locals claimed that among Manhattan's alphabetized street names—in a warren of east-side tenement blocks stretching down from 14th Street to Houston Street—"D" stood for "Death" and "A" for "Assault."
The area—a neighborhood of immigrants and poor people for most of its history—became, after World War II the site of public-housing projects, concentrating poverty in government- financed towers. During the 1960s and early 1970s, it became as well the home of counterculture dropouts and, eventually, of a ragtag anarchist community centered near Tomkins Square Park. The neighborhood's easy access to the FDR expressway and the city's bridges and tunnels, the authors note, helped to make Alphabet City the heroin crossroads of the world.
Mr. Codella and his partner believed in solid, traditional police work. They guarded their territory like panthers, watching, waiting, ready to pounce. "We size up everybody," he recalls (deploying a you-are-there present tense), "the steerers calling brands, the dealers making hand-to-hands, and the junkies crawling in feeling bad, hoping to walk out feeling nothing. We audition every face, every swinging arm, every sweating neck, every open eye that we pass."
Equally important, the pair understood instinctively—maybe every good cop does—the principle that William Bratton, Mayor Giuliani's first police commissioner, applied to the NYPD's efforts to clean up New York a decade later. Drug dealing is a business and, like any business, it can be harassed to death. When the 1990s crackdown began, many police officers, not to mention pundits, protested that arresting small-time dealers would serve no purpose. Prosecutors, it was argued, would refuse to prosecute, the courts would order the dealers released, and the dealers would stroll out of their cells at Rikers Island the next day to resume their business. Commissioner Bratton didn't care: Arrest them, he ordered: Disrupt their sales, cost them money, keep doing it. The strategy worked. Long- standing drug markets—for instance, certain blocks of Manhattan's Upper West Side where yuppies in BMW's bought dope from corner dealers—dried up.
By Michael Codella and Bruce Bennett
(St. Martin's, 304 pages, $25.99)
Commissioner Bratton would have loved what Mr. Codella and his partner were doing: "We make every possible collar we can. We terrorize customers, hassle the dealing crews, even stake out a store on St. Mark's Place that sells the glassine dope bags these guys use—anything to make business hard to conduct." Back in the 1980s, though, such tactics didn't sit well with the brass or even the detectives' fellow cops. The partners were rate-busting—bringing in too many arrests. They were also functioning in a post- Serpico, post-Knapp Commission NYPD that was intent on staving off scandal, to the point of policing less than aggressively.
According to "Alphaville," an edict came down to uniformed police: Do not make street drug-sale arrests. If some beat cops, the authors say, happened to see "a guy with a needle sticking out of his arm selling a quart-size Ziplock of heroin to Mickey Mouse on the corner of Second Street and Avenue D," they were to do nothing more than write down the pertinent information and forward it to the precinct's Organized Crime Control Bureau. The act of making a narcotics arrest became "its own trial by bureaucracy." The laborious process of vouchering evidence and processing drug collars, they say, was a major contributor to the city's street-heroin nightmare.
"Alphaville" makes another crucial point about drug dealing: As in any business, there has to be a top guy. "Somebody somewhere is enforcing the peace, keeping supplies going, sanctioning necessary killings and earning themselves a generous cut of the profits for doing it." The search for the top guy on Mr. Codella's beat—a man named Davey Blue Eyes, renowned for his ruthlessness and cool—becomes a major story line of "Alphaville," unifying its otherwise scattered vignettes of brutal contract killings and after-hours partying.
The detectives' most useful device, it turns out, is their network of informants and the federal anticrime money that pays the talkers. Mr. Codella says that because he grew up in Brooklyn's Canarsie neighborhood, where the mafia's code of omertà and the police department's blue wall of silence pervaded the neighborhood's ethos, he initially had an exaggerated idea of how far people would go to keep secrets. What he learned is that everyone on the wrong side of the law has a price.
The cocky and often triumphant confrontations with bad guys make "Alphaville" a strangely entertaining read. But the book is also a reminder of how far into danger and degradation New York fell in the late 20th century. Today New York is the safest major city in America. Yet the homicide rate so far this year is 15% higher than last, and the numbers for rape and robbery are rising, too. The watchword for urban safety, as for so much else, is eternal vigilance. We never want to return to the bad old days—which aren't all that old.
Ms. Vitullo-Martin is director of the New York-based Center for Urban Innovation at the Regional Plan Association.

Liam Gallagher continues potato-based slanging match with his brother

Robbie Williams has shown off the first fruits of his return to working with Guy Chambers with an expletive-fuelled track in which he branded the Brit Awards "boring".
Actors among array of celebrities in attendance to watch Manchester United beat Manchester City
Ricky Hatton has sold nearly 19,000 tickets for the event that will end his ring exile on 24 November and yesterday he added to their black market value by announcing a difficult fight against former world champion Vyacheslav Senchenko. In many ways the party just turned serious.
"We don't do encores... If you want an encore then this is the last song, if you don't, this is the second to last." At a time when encores at gigs have become almost mandatory, and therefore meaningless, Laura Marling's approach to them is refreshingly unconventional.
Oasis finally split after a row about Liam Gallagher's fashion business led to a violent dressing room clash in Paris, Noel Gallagher has revealed.
Liam Gallagher will not attend his brother Noel's wedding.
Noel Gallagher is set to marry long-term girlfriend Sara MacDonald this summer.
Liam Gallagher feels his brother Noel made Oasis look like "Culture Club on s**t acid" in their videos.
Noel Gallagher hasn't started work on his debut solo album yet.
Gem Archer believes Liam Gallagher was "suppressed" by his brother Noel.
Long famed for their fisticuffs and slanging matches, the intense sibling rivalry between Liam and Noel Gallagher now includes allegations of plagiarism.
"I've got a pocketful of words in my brain/ I pull something out when I think I should," Raymond McGinley croons pleasantly on the exquisite "Verisimilitude" from 1995's Grand Prix, Teenage Fanclub's majestic pop album that's nearly right up there with Fool's Gold, Sugar's Copper Blue and Help!. It contains the sort of shimmery loveliness you could safely shoot off into space, confident it would enhance intergalactic relations. While their latest, Shadows, doesn't scale these giddy heights it still feels as summery as Sue Barker biting on a strawberry on Centre Court, and the new tracks, such as the plinky-plonk new single "Baby Lee", don't sag (that much) tonight.
It's the biggest night in the British music industry calendar, renowned for drunkenness, bad language, feuds and bad behaviour. But last night the 30th Brit Awards ceremony was a noticeably more well-behaved affair.
A nostalgic taste of special brew
Noel Gallagher's departure from Oasis was today described as a "sad day" for music by the man who originally signed the band.

Balance isn't the issue... more about timing the waves, catching them, and standing them... I am sure you would do fine staying on a board balance-wise.
\nThat board may be a little short. I had a few buddies who were really good skaters and snowboarders, but bobbed around in the ocean like a cork on a 6'4" board not being able to catch anything. The guy I am thinking of specifically was a lot bigger than you though at like 6'3" and 200.
\nThis may be a better board for long term, but your rides over the trip may be limited unless you get a short longboard or some kind of funboard.

especially in florida... I am from NY, but i go to florida frequently (West Palm area) and I have a 6' 1" that I rarely use because its flat (Moreso, in late spring like April than in the winter). I usually end up just riding my log on ankle high waves if I am lucky

\nWait. Are you saying that just because some of us disagree with your professed, twisted skill of enticing kids to your side with surfboards, candy & who knows what else, that we're steering people in the wrong direction?
\nNo. No 'wayne.' You're working this kid.
\nCome to you & he gets a free board.
\nPut up with your brainwashing & proselytizing, he gets a free board.
\nProblem is....it ain't free.
\nNot only have you hijacked another thread on this forum, you piece of self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, lying sack, you've shown your true colors by ripping on every person who posts on this forum.
\nAs well, you are, again, tryingto lure young people to you with merchandise. If your gawd is so powerful, if he's the way & the truth, then you would never ever have to entice young people with your sick materialistic goods.
\nNo, wayne. You are the wack job.
\nAnd kid cole, if you're reading this: just remember that many serial killers have the middle name of wayne. I'm not making that up.

LOL I love this forum. Not only do we get surf, but religious, political, legal, and other fun topics abound. Free speech at its best/worst. Cole, I wasn't bull****ting you btw. I started surfing in Florida a little over 13 years ago in Cocoa/Melbourne area. Have a great time down here, but please consider what I said.

First off i agree with all these guys ^ borrow or rent a funshape, prob like a 7foot something, super floaty easier to catch waves, once you get the hang of it, might take a little while. Some excel faster than others, i got thrown on to a short board first and it was a little discouraging at first but i was a little 12 year old and didnt give a **** when people saw me eating it.
\nHOWEVER, i would say if you dig it the first few days on the funshape, dont be scared to try out the board you got.though it will likely be a little tuff at first . Lastly try to go out when its kinda empty the first few times so you can get your **** together and nobody gets pissy that youre in their way.
\nHave fun good luck

A misconception is that surfing is like skateboarding and snowboarding, or that the basics of it can be learned fairly well in a day, as they can be with those sports. This is a wrong assumption. But good luck.

I learned on a 6'0 from the 70s (thing was probably 3" thick). What everyone's saying is right. It's a gonna be a b*tch to learn to surf on that thing, although it's a really nice board. If you're really committed to surfing then it's gonna be a good board to have in the future, but you might want to consider grabbing a fun shape for the time being. Since you've already dropped the cash you might as well try it out in FL but know that it's not gonna be easy or that much fun for the first couple of months, regardless of your skill with other board sports. Balance is only important once you've learned to catch waves, and unless you're exceptionally fit, catching waves is going to be tough at first. Despite all the wise guys, there's some really good info in the forum. Search through the older threads and you'll find plenty of info on surfing basics. Just starting out though, you might be better served just doing a bunch of push ups and pull ups before your trip

In all seriousness, try to rent or demo a Firewire Sweet Potato if you don't want to lug around something 7' long but have similar stability and wave-catching ability.
\nDon't actually surf IN the inlet, unless you are down with noodling Black-Tips and Bull Sharks.

Because you are a beginners and you will be in Florida, I would definitely suggest renting a funshape board. It's a great beginners board, much easier to move around with, especially because FL waves tend to be smaller. Take your board out though and give it a try also. Can't hurt! Good luck!
'; pd[159057] = '
Cole, don't go surf Sebastian buddy. If you're a beginner, you're going to piss people off and possibly get hurt. That is a tough wave for a beginner. There has been a lot of sarcasm on here, I wanted to clarify that Sebastian is a terrible place for beginners. There are peaks just to the north of the Inlet that will be better for you. When you're starting off, stay out of people's way. It's the same theory as not walking out to play pick up basketball with a bunch of NBA guys when you just picked up basketball a couple months ago.
\nThat being said, Cocoa is a great place to learn. Have fun, and perhaps read an article or two on ethics before you paddle out. You'll be better off, safer, and have a better experience for doing so.

\nOh, and don't get too freaked out when 5' sharks start breaching the water and flipping around next to you...watch out for the blues. and your good...

yeah dude, you will not get anything on the 6'4. rent a soft top, catch a few waves, maybe stand up for a few seconds, stoked. if you go with the 6'4 plan on: catching like 1 wave, not standing up, remembering this post

I agree with everyone on the concept of getting something bigger. You really need to learn on something more stable and easier to paddle and suitable for the size waves that are more conducive to learning, which are small ones. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the wave the larger the board (seems ironic to beginners, but really true) up to a point, wherein you get into really large waves and begin to need more stability again and go to larger boards called guns that like .1% of surfers really progress into, so pretty much you'll want to learn on small waves on something larger. A funshape would be great, and a longboard probably even better. Especially considering you're likely to be trying it out in warmer weather like summer when it is really small here on the east coast. I pretty much don't even look at my shortboards until september. I ride a 9-0 or a really fat fish all summer. I would get a longboard.

Template talk:The Surreal Life
|WikiProject Television / Reality
|(Rated Template-class)
|This template was considered for deletion on 9 June 2007. The result of the discussion was "keep".
Related series[edit]
Upon closer inspection, I believe the related series section in this template should include shows which are directly related to the Surreal Life. This relationship would be either as a direct spin-off (e.g., My Fair Brady and Strange Love) or staring the same characters (e.g., The Salt-N-Pepa Show). I do not feel this list should be a complete list of every Celebreality show, as there is already a template for Celebreality series. If you disagree, we can always get a WP:Third opinion. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- No. This template is for series that have their roots from The Surreal Life. Despite Sandy Denton's participation on The Surreal Life, The Salt N Pepa Show was not sprung from it. Neither is Two Corey's, or the Janice Dickinson Show. Again, this template (which I created) is for series that are have heredity from the Surreal Life. - The Real One Returns 17:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree. The list of shows spawned by The Surreal Life is the list of "Celebreality shows" as described in the VH1 article, and there is already a {{Celebreality}} template. The label being assigned here is "related series", which would be any (reality) series directly related. Since you appear to have violated 3RR (?), hopefully we can discuss it here prevent a further edit war. By the way, just because you created a template, does not mean you own it. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 17:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- What is the benefit of having the list of related shows on this template to start with? From what I can see, this template is mostly used on the articles of people who have appeared on the show. As a reader, I can see the benefit of easily getting to the articles about others from the show, but it seems to me that related shows is something I would go to the Surreal Life page itself for, where there is currently a nice, formatted list of spin-off shows. Personally, though, I might even go a step further and break the cast list up by season. --Interestingly average (talk) 20:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good suggestion: (1) Split the cast list into a cast list for each season, as this would make it very helpful to determine who was on each season and (2) remove the related series section. If this is what you are suggesting, then I completely agree (see example). Thanks for the outside opinion. Plastikspork (talk) 23:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- The Surreal Life series is a franchise.
The Surreal Life --> Strange Love --> Flavor of Love --> I Love New York --> Charm School --> I Love Money --> Real Chance of Love.
All of these shows trace back to The Surreal Life, are produced by the same production team, and therefore should be referenced on this template. The same way templates for {{All in the Family}} and {{Law & Order}} also note the spinoff/link series that sprung up later as a result of the base show. DMWN (talk) 01:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. But in that case, I would say one should start a template called '51 Minds' as that is the name of Mark Cronin's and Cris Abrego's production company. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 03:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Template not needed[edit]
This template is missing the mark. Generally a template like this is used to bring together articles that are closely related. For example, all the books written by Stephen King. It makes sense for "The Stand" to have a Stephen King template because of that tight relationship. For the actors on this show, it was only one small part in their lives and will only warrant a minor mention on their wiki page. Putting this template on all their pages gives undue weight and is a little confusing. For example, consider Trishelle Cannatella. There is only a mention of this show in a list of her television appearances. Keeping an easily navigatable collection of all the actors is better managed and more relevant with an infobox on The Surreal Life wiki page. Agentchuck (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Posted on 01/27/2012 6:17:04 PM PST by infool7
My Brother-In-Law Scott is very ill
He was clearing brush in Hawaii and contracted a very aggressive Staph infection. He tried to battle the illness by himself for three weeks before calling for help and by the time the doctors discovered what was causing his symptoms, a great deal of damage had already been done, especially to his lungs. He is now in Septic Shock, his blood pressure is extremely low and the prognosis is not good.
Oh my! Prayers up!

Prayers sent infool7. My husband went through the same thing in 2010. He had a pacemaker/defibrillator put in and it was contaminated and he ended up with a staff infection - MSSA. It was about three weeks until he finally went to the hospital and they had to life-flight him to the nearest big hospital in Pittsburgh. We nearly lost him, but prayer pulled him through. The doctor chalked it up to 'divine intervention". Keep praying! I have seen the power of prayer first hand!
God bless,
Prayers lifted.
Prayers for your brother-in-law.
Prayers up!
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car cest à Toi quappartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Prayers to you, Scott and your family.
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mothers womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand
when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Prayers sent for all

Arsenal to be saved by Jesus?
Arsene Wenger is praying that Theo Walcott agrees to sign a new deal that keeps him at the Emirates, but if he doesn't then Arsenal may have to sell him before he walks away next summer on a free transfer. Salvation may be just around the corner for the Gunners, as Arsenal are preparing a bid for the Sevilla and Spain winger Jesus Navas.

FASHION: These Sunglasses Are Supposed to Boost Your Mood!
The @dailyburn named the Angler a top performer outdoors.Read more here: http://t.co/zszqZnOFZa @aschlingg #happylens pic.twitter.com/jGYxWUeLSE
— SPY (@spyoptic) July 31, 2014
We've all heard the phrase "looking at life through with rose-colored glasses," and apparently that's a real thing.
The sunglass company Spy has created a line of shades called "Happy Lens" that are supposed to elevate your mood.
They say the glasses work by blocking the "bad" ultraviolet, short wave blue light while letting the "good" long wave blue light in. This is supposed to boost your mood, keep you more alert, and help you sleep more soundly.
Too good to be true? Maybe, but science seems to back it up. A Scandanavian study that researched the effects of different light colors on people working in an office found that "exposure to blue-enriched white light during daytime work hours improves subjective alertness, performance and evening fatigue."

Curtom Records
|Curtom Records
|Parent company
|Warner Music Group
|Curtis Mayfield
Eddie Thomas
Warner Bros
|Soul music
|Country of origin
Curtom Records was a record label started by producer, composer and lead singer Curtis Mayfield, of The Impressions group, along with Impressions' associate, Eddie Thomas, the band's manager and Jerry Butler's former driver) in 1968. . The label's name was a combination of Mayfield's first name (Curtis) and Eddie's last name (Thomas). Mayfield had previously made attempts at a record label with the "Mayfield" and "Windy C" labels.
It is noted for being one of the first ever record labels owned by an African-American recording artist.
Curtom was located in Chicago's former RCA studio (at 1 North Wacker Drive), originally acquired by Mayfield for cutting demos. Along with the Impressions' releases and Mayfield's own solo material, artists on or affiliated with Curtom included the Five Stairsteps, Donny Hathaway (principally as a songwriter/orchestration arranger), Linda Clifford, Baby Huey and the Babysitters, Leroy Hutson, The Natural Four, Bobby Whiteside, Holly Maxwell, the Staple Singers, and Mavis Staples' solo efforts. Most of the acts on Curtom's roster were either produced by Mayfield himself, or heavily influenced by his style. Eddie Thomas later developed the Curtom subsidiary, Thomas Records, while Marv Stuart, Mayfield's manager for many years, became a partner in Curtom.
The label went through various changes of distribution - first by Buddah Records, then Warner Bros., RSO Records, and finally Boardwalk Records, before closing for good in 1980, due to a decline in popularity of soul music, (although the very first Curtom 45s were independently distributed). The Curtom master tapes are now owned by the Warner Music Group and the Mayfield family[citation needed]. All subsequent re-issues have been under Warner's supervision, with the exception of Curtis's replacement in the Impressions, Leroy Hutson, who owns the rights to his Curtom solo back catalog.

"Yangguan" Yangguan by mke1963
Yangguan Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 4 photos
Here at the very edge of civilization was the very end of the Great Wall, although it actually ran to the north, ending at the Yumenguan, well to the north-east of Dunhuang.
But at Nanhu - or South Lake - lies the southerly of the two main passes out of China and into the great unknown. Until this point, the monks, merchants and itinerant travellers would cast a backward glance at the military camp, the oasis growing grapes and melons, and the friendly familiar faces, then turn to face the winds of the Taklamakan Desert - the sea of death. The traveller would pass through the fort gate and pass the final watchtower on the ridge...beyond? Nothing. Flat desert. A hard gravelly plain, baked in turn by the scorching summer sun and the evil cold winds of winter. This southern route would lead the traveller to Khotan and then up into the Karakoram Mountains towards Pakistan, leading his mule, horse or camel train loaded with spices, porcelain, silks, carpets......
The other way came goods from South Asia, Persia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. From time to time, a religious man would come clutching paintings, scriptures telling of some mystical religion...Buddhism, Nestorianism, Christianity, Judaism. Buddhism would eventually become the longest-lasting import along this dusty path, and at Yangguan you can feel the history as little has changed over the years.
The pass buildings exist no more and there is still debate as to exactly where the pass and fort were located. Some say it is on the ridge alongside the remaining watchtower, while others point to the village of Gaobudong, some 3km back to the east where a deep gorge and stream provide an obvious defensive position.
Nanhu village still exists, and lies to the south of the current visitor centre. It is about an hour by car from Dunhuang, and the route passes several watchtowers that would have been happy sites for the intrepid early traveller. Today, the village earns a fair income from tourism, but also continues to grow excellent (and enormous) grapes. The harvest in mid September brings families back together again, as children return from distant towns and cities to help out on the farm.
As well as the information on this page, there is more on the village of Nanhu here. You can travel north to Yumenguan, but need to go back a bit towards Dunhuang first.

The navy may not be able to monitor illegal fishing in the
Southern Ocean because its ships are not up to the task.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said a navy patrol of
the Antarctic fishery was cancelled because of concerns about
its offshore patrol vessels' ability to operate in Antarctic
Mr McCully said he was advised by the navy that the mission
to tackle illegal or unreported fishing was not going to be
possible because it was "not within the capabilities of the
Asked whether the navy needed better ships, Mr McCully said:
"We were simply advised they weren't going to be able to
achieve the mission and so they decided to pull it."
The HMNZS Otago had travelled to the Southern Ocean late last
year to patrol the fishery with the support of the air force
Orion, which has monitored the region since the late 1990s.
The 1900-tonne frigate's mission was described by the
Government as a success, with serious fishing infringements
uncovered by its crew.
Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman said the crew and the ship
had worked in "the world's most extreme weather".
But a second patrol did not go ahead because of the navy's
The ship was one of seven vessels bought for $500 million as
part of "Project Protector", and was designed to be able to
stay at sea longer and carry out complex operations. The
Government also bought a sister ship, the Wellington, which
was capable of travel to the Antarctic.
The Otago was dogged by problems since its launch in 2006,
and was not delivered to the navy until 2010.
The $90 million vessel was sent back after it was judged as
not up to standard.
The Otago was later strengthened to withstand ice, but the
increase in weight meant that it was unable to sail in
Antarctic waters.
In 2010 it was found to have a leak which allowed seawater to
get into its fuel tank.
Labour Party defence spokesman Phil Goff said he was
"surprised" the navy was not able to carry out the patrol
because the Otago's initial problems had been overcome before
the vessel was sent to New Zealand.
The Defence Force was unable
to confirm yesterday what shortcomings prevented the ships
from making the second patrol.
The Otago and Wellington had strengthened hulls in case they
encountered ice, but did not have icebreaking capabilities
and could not enter ice packs.
It is also understood the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was
concerned the navy could get involved in whaling clashes
between Japanese vessels and the Sea Shepherd conservation
Whaling takes place in the same area in which the Otago was
patrolling fisheries, and officials were concerned that the
vessel could get drawn into the clashes, which have
previously resulted in collisions.

Chef Mario Batali shares some tasty Italian dishes from his ninth cookbook, "Molto Gusto: Easy Italian Cooking," that are easy to make and perfect for casual entertaining — including shaved asparagus with Parmigiano-Reggiano and penne alla primavera.
- 2 pounds medium asparagus, tough bottom ends snapped off
- 3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, coarsely grated
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Maldon or other flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Baking Directions:
Using a Benriner (Japanese mandoline) or other vegetable slicer, or a vegetable peeler, thinly shave the asparagus, making long diagonal shavings.Put the Parmigiano in a large bowl and whisk in the lemon juice and warm water. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the oil to make a loose emulsion. Add the asparagus and toss gently to coat. Season with salt if necessary and with pepper and serve.
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 4 ounces morels, halved if large, or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces asparagus, stalks sliced 1/2-inch thick on a bias, tips reserved separately
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed if frozen
- 1 cup fava beans
- 4 scallions, white part only, thinly sliced
- Maldon or other flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound penne rigate
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
- Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for serving
Baking Directions:
Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the carrots, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, then add the asparagus tips, peas, fava beans, and scallions, season well with Maldon salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until all the vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in another large pot and add 4 tablespoons kosher salt. Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook until just al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the water.Add the pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the vegetables, stirring and tossing over medium heat to mix well. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and allow to steam together for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a splash or two more of the reserved pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce, then stir in the herbs and serve immediately, with grated Parmigiano on the side.

|Mary Pratt
John Christopher Pratt CC (born 9 December 1935) is a Canadian painter and printmaker.
Christopher Pratt first started painting watercolours in 1952. In 1953 he attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick as a student in pre-medicine. At Mount Allison he quickly became interested in Fine Arts, especially painting. He was encouraged to paint by Lawren P. Harris and Alex Colville.[citation needed]
From 1957-1959 Pratt studied at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. During the summers, he returned to Newfoundland to work as a construction surveyor at the American Naval Base at Argentia. The training he received in precise measuring was applied to his paintings. In 1959 Pratt returned to Mount Allison University to complete in 1961 a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. During this period he began to make silkscreen prints. The early screen print Boat in Sand, 1961 in the National Gallery's collection was produced at this time and included in the Gallery's fourth Biennial Exhibition.[1]
In 1961, Pratt accepted the position of curator at the newly opened Memorial University Art Gallery in St. John's. He remained at the gallery for two and a half years before deciding to concentrate on his painting full-time, moving his family to Salmonier, Newfoundland.[2]
Pratt was the subject of a major touring retrospective organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1985, a touring print retrospective and catalogue raisonné, The Prints of Christopher Pratt: 1958-1991 in 1992, and a major traveling exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Canada in 2005.[3] His work is found in many public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, The Rooms, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
Pratt has served on many committees and councils, including the Federal government's Stamp Design Advisory Committee (1972–1975) and the Board of the Canada Council for the Arts (1975–1981). In 1980, Pratt designed the Provincial Flag of Newfoundland and Labrador.[1]

Amazon.com Review
But it was Harry Truman who, upon being reelected in 1948, rewarded Acheson with the offer of secretary of state, a position he took with some initial reluctance, protesting that he was not adequate to the requirements of the job at such a critical juncture in history. He proved himself wrong with his decisive role in the shaping of the Truman Doctrine and the NATO alliance, averting war with the Soviet bloc on the European front. But, as Chace shows, Acheson's efforts were not as effective in China and Korea. And there were domestic problems as well; Acheson and his department were a particular target of the anticommunist witch-hunt even before Sen. Joseph McCarthy got in on the act. Chace's richly detailed narrative is particularly effective in placing Acheson's marginal role in the Alger Hiss affair in its proper context while highlighting Acheson's personal integrity in the matter.
After 1953, Acheson remained an outspoken commentator on America's foreign policy, frequently criticizing Eisenhower's reliance on nuclear weaponry, and serving in an advisory capacity to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, the latter of whom took Acheson's advice to get out of Vietnam to heart. Acheson even had occasion to advise Richard Nixon, who had accused the secretary in 1952 of heading a "Cowardly College of Communist Containment," although he broke with Nixon after the president ordered the bombing of Cambodia. Chace's account of Acheson's life and career is as lively as it is intelligent, a well-crafted story that provides the reader with much insight into the unintended origins of the cold war. --Ron Hogan

It is the end of amzn, the pig stox, and the final blow off of bernanke's fake markets, induced by FLOODS of bernanke bux, and bought and paid for at the top by 401k and pension fund buy high baggies. Pull up the dow and s&p for 10 years, 20 yearz, and then 50 years They look beautiful dont they? Its like an astronaught experiencing breif weightlessness in a mindful bliss as they star a moment out the portal at the amazing moon and starz before getting violently sucked back into the atmosphere and burnt to a crisp free falling back to the planet where what iz left of the orbital will leave a huge creater when it hits ground.

Down On Darwin
In "Darwin's Tree of Life" (January 24), Elizabeth A. Johnson's contention that Darwin helps us understand our responsibility to creation is pretty startling. Darwin supported the laissez-faire capitalism of his father-in-law Lord Wedgewood, one of the richest industrialists in the world at that time, because it mirrored the ruthless competition he observed in nature. The implication that Naturalism supports the moral responsibility to husband other species or exercise stewardship over the creation is simply not true. The writings of the theologian John Haught and Pope John Paul II are not derived from Darwin or Naturalism.
Paul A. Hottinger
Naperville, Ill.
The Author Replies:
The project of Ask the Beasts is explicitly one of dialogue. The purpose of placing On the Origin of Species in conversation with the Nicene Creed is to develop a theology that makes loving the earth an intrinsic part of faith in God, rather than an add-on.
Three points: First, the focus is not Darwin the man, but the way he could see. The evolutionary story he figured out places nature in a new narrative...

I have a bitlocked removable drive with 2 partitions. One partition has stopped automatically opening. I right mouse click and select Unlock drive but i only get a screen that allows me to enter the recovery key or a usb stick. The recovery key i have was diligently backed up and the serials match etc but the key doesn't work.
So i want to try just entering the password which i know but the wizard with that option doesn't appear. How do i force the bitlocker to let me enter the password instead of the recovery key. All i get is the following:

So my sister bought the #nexus7 and had the same charging problem I had. The stock cable that came with the unit would not charge the device. I tried a Blackberry cable and that didn't work either. Then I tried a very short cable from a old Samsung Android phone and that worked perfectly.

In this thread I was looking for some IE/windows eyes, however I've finalized the design, and think everything is kosher.
It's not so much a blog as a mini-CMS. I created a seperate cat for the blog/journal page(with it's own sub cats), and created a home.php with a cat exclude for the main page.
Mainly looking for feedback on that portion of the design, as well as general feel and navability.
Only other thing I want to do is find a simple gallery solution for the pictures page, nothing I've looked at so far seems to fit my tastes.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and comment.

Released: Dec 01st, 2005
Running Time: 86
Company: Filmco
Cast: Kandi Kream, Candace Von, Stallion (I), Olivia Winters, Cinna Bunz, Pebbles, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Black girls give head and swallow in this blowjob title that's about as basic as it gets. They each masturbate a little first, then smoke a pole. There's very little variety between the scenes, though Cinna Bunz might be slightly better than the rest. The girls' oral techniques are fine, if unspectacular, and the pacing is very naturalistic.
On the downside most of the footage is close-up shots (sometimes too close), and there aren't many POV angles. As usual, the guys all finish under their own power. It would be nice to see the girls actually finish the job with their mouths in a blowjob movie for once.
Retailing: All Black, all blowjobs.
