A Thermal teenager was released from jail early Friday morning after police accused him of pointing a hand-held laser at a Riverside County Sheriff's Department helicopter.
No one was injured in the incident.
The helicopter was flying over Coachella at 8:00 p.m. Thursday to assist Indio police when the flight crew noticed a laser beam lighting up the aircraft's cockpit.
A statement from the sheriff's department said the helicopter crew directed ground units to a home on the 53100 block of Calle Los Hermanos in Coachella where officers found Christian Torres, 18, in possession of a laser device.
Officers arrested Torres and booked him into the Riverside County Jail in Indio on $25,000 bail. He was charged with a felony count of pointing a laser at an aircraft.
A court date for Torres is set for April.
The sheriff's department said in it's statement, pointing a laser at an aircraft can temporarily blind the pilot and distract the flight crew.
Anyone with any information about this incident is urged to contact the Coachella Police Department, at (760) 863-8990, or they can call in anonymously at (760) 341-STOP (7867).

Police say two suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts entered the store in the 29200 block of Dequindre about 4 a.m. Wednesday and headed to the deli area with their backs to the clerk. (Madison Heights Police)
Madison Heights police are investigating the robbery of a 7-Eleven and its possible connection to two other recent crimes.
Two suspects wearing hooded sweatshirts entered the store in the 29200 block of Dequindre about 4 a.m. Wednesday and headed to the deli area with their backs to the clerk, police said.
One of the suspects also wore a ski mask; when the clerk asked him to remove it, he refused, police said.
�The clerk assisted the suspects in the deli area and began to walk back to the register behind the counter when one of the suspects tackled him,� police said in a release. �The suspect put a knee in the clerk�s back, holding him down while the other suspect went through the cabinets gathering cartons of cigarettes and placing them in a bag.�
Police said Marlboro and Newport cigarettes were targeted. Approximately 10 cartons and numerous loose packs valued at an estimated $600 were taken, they said.
After the suspects fled, responding officers found fresh footprints leading behind a nearby business, police said. Tire tracks showed a vehicle left north on Dequindre.
One of the suspects is also believed to have broken into a shop in the 29000 block of Stephenson Highway late Tuesday and on Jan. 29, Police Lt. Robert Anderson said.
That suspect is described as between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. In all three incidents, he wore a black nylon jacket with a hooded sweatshirt, light blue jeans and black-white tennis shoes, police said.
The second suspect in Wednesday�s crime is described as between 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 6 inches tall, heavy-set, weighing 275-300 pounds with a scraggly beard. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt that had a logo with a red horizontal stripe on the front, a black tank top, red shorts and white-black tennis shoes.
For tips, call Madison Heights Police at (248) 585-2100.

Recent reviews:
February 26, 2014 - This is the second mat like this that I've purchased. They were on sale (both times). My cats love them. They are great to sit water/food bowls on. I had to buy the second mat because one of my cats reacted to the first as if it were laced with catnip. She kept rolling on it and spilling her water bowl, so I bought another one just so she could roll on it. We're both happy now! Good value, and pretty too.
December 18, 2013 - I bought this for my son and daughter in-law, who like me, love our pets just as if they were our children. This mat tells everyone just that! I thought it was all rubber, but the top is a heavy type fabric, back rubber. They love it.
November 6, 2013 - Just love it.
November 6, 2013 - Just as cute as in the picture. I placed at kitchen door, it catches trash good. Good quality for the value. Would recommend to friends.
November 6, 2013 - I love this mat! Anything that lets the world know that I'm an animal lover works for me. It's a definite improvement over the old worn piece of purple carpet I was using.

After authorities revealed the grisly details of Chris Benoit's final days, the WWE is changing their tune. In a televised statement, aired just moments ago on Sci Fi Channel's ECW, Vince McMahon made it clear -- they will no longer honor the memory of the murdering wrestler:
"Last night on 'Monday Night Raw,' the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world -- entertain you."
Yes. continued steroid use causes rage but it also causes paranoia. Paranoia just doesn't jump out of you, it takes time to build. For V. McMahon to say it wasn't steroids is dangerous and deceitful. This waste of skin is in denial and should really keep his mouth shut. This is coming from a....no word to describe him......who is a proponent of steroid use and hasn't done enough to discourage or stop it in his industry. He figures he has a monopoly on wrestling and that people are not going to care, they will just eat up the sleaze and filth he cooks for them. Unfortunately many people are so hungry for entertainment that they will eat anything including B******T. This is an industry that needs stringent regulating. You would think he'd have gotten a clue when Owen Hart was killed......but no!!!!
Now no one forced Chris Benoit to take steroids, although the competition in wrestling could be considered an inducement. Remember if your not buff or muscled, you don't get air time. With a family to support that would be inducement enough for some people.
My heart goes out to both families because everyone involved was a victim and it is sad that McMahon doesn't see that . Maybe the steroids are blinding him. Compassion needs to overcome greed and denial and the overriding thoughts to cover his own tush.
it's about time that WWE sees the sleaz by honoring this men.
I am embarrased to be an American and soon I be skipping out of this country.
I cannot take the life overhere anymore, cheap, skanky ,riddled with materialism,
and corrupt to the core.
Moving to a STILL classier place called Europe ( Euro Trash we call them remember?)
Who is the trash here ? we sit in the Glasshouse and throw rocks.
Good riddance , and I be fine if you say the same, eat your heart's out.
How can anybody overlook Chris's drug use and the fact that he is a drug using careless asshole. Real men don't off their entire family and consistently abuse drugs in presents of his love ones. John is exactly right he did say it was steroid rage. How he know i don't know.
OK- At the time of the tribute show, no one knew the circumstances of the Benoit tragedy so people should stop getting mad at the WWE for "paying tribute to a murderer". The next day on Tues. nights WWE ECW show, Vince mentioned that they now know what happened and will no longer mention the Benoit name, but will honor those affected, which I think was a classy thing. If you go to wwe.com, they removed all tributes and are only reporting the facts. And for those blaming steroid use as the problem, again go to wwe.com and read what the WWE had to say: all drugs were prescription; the toxology results are not in, so there is no telling if there were roids in him; "roid rage" is rage, not a series of attacks that lasted 2-3 days with deliberate thought- his family was asphyxiated, not beaten out of rage, plus he had the thought of putting a bible next to their bodies. So, quit buying into the speculation and just go off the facts that are out right now.
Duh LA LAWYER. Yes, the WWE knew it was a crime scene before they aired the tribute. Anytime there are 3 dead people in a house it's a CRIME SCENE. Even if you don't know who did what to whom. I'm sure even the might Vince didn't know all of the details when the show aired.
Benoit should be honored as one of the best method wrestlers but that's not how he's going to be remembered.
Does anyone remember OJ's football career anymore???
Chris was great . Let this be a lesson . this is what happens if you don't tap out from the crippler crossface.
Shock... saddness.....So different from the man we all came to know as a family man.
what snapped? We'll will ever know what really happened?
I hope they finally get every one off of steroids.
I tears and pray for the family they left behind...
HAs anyone thought of them.
About time! Since I live only 15 minutes away from the WWE's Corporate office in Stamford, CT, I'm glad Vince is turning away from "honoring" Chris Benoit.
Too bad between the last text message received & 12:30pm when someone FINALLY decided to contact the police, they didn't get over there sooner.
I would have LOVED to see Chris get arrested and face the death penalty...he deserves it!
I hope Eddie Guerrero is kicking his butt in Hell!!
I cant believe what has happened over the past couple of days. i always watched Benoit and thought he was one of the greatest. the only way i could see this happening is if drugs were involved. i bet he got so messed up that he didnt no what he was doing and when he saw what he had done, he took his own life. its me dream to be a pro wrestler and Benoit was one of the guys i looked up to. now you see what kind of guy he really was.
well John, if you know anything about roid rage... They snap.. he killed his wife one day, and his son the next??? Thats not snapping. We dont know what was going thru his mind, not that this gives him a right to kill. But to say you knew why he did it is wrong. Noone knows but him, and hes dead . and as far as Vince giving him a tribute. The man did not know what had actually happened. The details of how they died were not released until after the show.
People on here are idiots. One of the treatments for the x chromosome disease his son had was to administer Human Growth Hormone. Who the hell would think that he gave his kid steroids? Are you all idiots are just play one in blogs? And to anyone who know anything about psychology or roid rage, roid rage is not planned. Your trying to say he ahd roid rage for 3 days? If he was talking it, another side effect is depression. I can believe that he was depressed and did this, then realized what he did. Just like woman go through post pardom and kill their kids . . . . .WWE is in a hard situation becasue they worked with this man for years, and many called him a friend. Do you honestly think WWE would put on the tribute show knowing what he did? Like the info wouldn't come out? This is sad all around, but read the facts and stop assuming. The police have never at anytime said steroids were found in the house. And the police have said the perscription meds they foudn look legit.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members and friends of the Benoit family. This entire situation is tragic on so many levels. The devastation his actions have caused so many is unbearable. It is also tragic that an individual who dedicated more than 22 years of his life to sports entertainment will have his entire career forgotten due to the recent headlines. I realize it is hard for us to seperate the two and honor him for the tremendous efforts and accomoplishments in the industry he loved without thinking "what a pa thetic loser, what a killer". Personally I am torn and not really sure how to feel. I hope and pray that upon toxicology reports we may find answers that perhaps can help us understand what happened and how he could take the lives of his loved on es. As for them pumping up his son with hormones bc he is small is just disgusting. Steroids is an enormous issue with every athletic venue (football, baseball, olympic athletes) unfortunately it is glorified when it comes to wrestlers due to the massive physiques of a huge percentage of these superstars. All in all Chris was a truly accomplished wrestler who gave the buisness some if its best moments and now unfortunately he also gives the buisness some of its worst publicity.
I think Vince is in damage control mode solely because he is afraid the doctors they just busted will start talking about how they are linked to other wrestlers and what people within the organization knew about and assisted getting wrestlers set up with this company.

Pre-Med Advising Tips
Required for application to medical school
Most schools have the following requirements:
• one year of laboratory based college level biology, some schools prefer junior/senior level
• one year of Inorganic Chemistry (CHEM 1110 & 1120)
• one year of Organic Chemistry (CHEM 3010 & 3020)
• one year of college level Physics (PHYS 2010,2011 & 2020, 2021)
• one year of college level English (ENGL 1010 & 1020)
• MATH up to Calculus (MATH 1730 or MATH 1910)
• at least 90 total semester hours
Most schools will not seriously consider you for admission until you are done with your bachelor's degree or would be done prior to beginning medical school.
Application to most medical schools in the United States is made via the American Medical College Application System (AMCAS) in the summer one full year before you expect to start with a fall medical school class. This is done after taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Overall GPA, and Science & Math GPA will be calculated by AMCAS. They will include all grades on all science and math courses in their calculations (taking a class over does not replace the grade in their calculation). Overall GPA, Science & Math GPA and MCAT scores along with an application essay and additional elements stipulated below determine whether or not you will be invited for an interview. Currently, average GPAs for entering medical school classes are approximately 3.5- 3.6, and average MCAT scores are approximately 27 - 30 out of a possible 45. If you are applying to out of state or private medical schools, GPA and MCAT scores will need to be higher.
Additional Courses to Help Improve MCAT Score
Very Helpful: strongly recommend prior to taking MCAT
• BIOL 4110 & BIOL 3020 or BIOL 2010 & 2020 (Medical Schools prefer 4110 & 3020)
Helpful, for taking or retaking MCAT
• Take courses that will challenge your critical thinking and logic skills
• Take courses that require much reading and writing
Medical Schools Like to See the Following in Your Schoolwork
• full course loads of 16 - 18 hrs/semester unless you are also working 10+ hrs/week
• 2 - 3 lab classes most semesters
• BIOL 3010, 3020, 4110, 4130, 4300, 4170, 4560; CHEM 2230, 3530, 4330, 4340 [many of these are courses or information that will be covered during the first year of medical school; familiarity with the subject (or deeper grounding in chemistry) increases retention in medical school and improves your grades - key to getting in a good residency training program]
Medical Schools Need to See Clinical Experiences
• Before applying to medical school, you need 50 - 200 hours of direct observation of doctors in medical settings.
• Medical schools will look for a record of clinical experience over several years in multiple settings
• Begin getting clinical experience early so you will find out quickly if you really want to be around sick people and insurance company paperwork for a career.
• How to get experiences - Call physicians you know, and ask if you can watch them at work for a day (called "shadowing"). Other ways you can gain clinical experience include volunteering or working in emergency rooms, clinics, nursing homes, or hospice. You can also gain valuable experiences through volunteering in support organizations for the chronically ill (muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis associations for example).
Medical Schools Like Proof of Community Involvement & Leadership
• You need to demonstrate an ability to make good grades, carry a full course and/or work load, while doing more than just studying.
• You need to demonstrate leadership qualities, concern for others, and an ability to work well in groups.
• How to demonstrate community involvement & leadership - There are many different way to demonstrate these. For example, be an active church member; or volunteer for the Special Olympics, Heart Walk, Memory Walk or MS walk. Join clubs, and become an officer. Volunteer for charitable organizations or service organizations.

The Crimean War (1854-56) was fought over the desire by various European powers to dominate the Ottoman Empire. The conflict, instigated by Russia against Turkey, took place on the Crimean peninsula, where English and French troops supported the Turks. Although Canada did not play an active role in this war, certain individuals did enlist and fight in the Near East.
The Crimean War had a positive impact on the Canadian economy because of its effect on supply and demand of agricultural products, especially wheat. Since Russia and Great Britain were at war, Britain cancelled all imports of Russian wheat and bought Canadian wheat -- at higher wartime prices.

Share this news story Dominick Fernow, AKA Vatican Shadow, will release his next album in February on Blackest Ever Black. Dominick Fernow will release a new album as Prurient in February called Through The Window. Though many electronic fans know him through his more techno-influenced records as Vatican Shadow, Fernow has devoted most of his career to Prurient, an experimental project that's yielded well over 50 records since 1998. In the past Prurient has been about full-on noise—for a while his main instrument was mic feedback—but if this album sample is anything to go by, Through The Window hews closer to the experimental techno he's been making lately as Vatican Shadow. The album will see release via gloom connoisseurs Blackest Ever Black. Tracklist 01. Through the Window 02. Terracotta Spine 03. You Show Great Spirit Blackest Ever Black will release Through the Window in February 2012. Label: Blackest Ever Black

Thousands of runners take part in New Jersey Marathon
Photos: New Jersey Marathon
First a storm decimated much of its route along the Shore's boardwalks. Then a pair of explosions at the Boston Marathon shrouded it with the threat of terrorism. After each blow to the New Jersey Marathon, its race director, Joe Gigas, posted a message of defiance on Facebook: "We are on. Are you in?"
The answer was as clear as the skies Sunday morning, as 11,000 runners adapted to the detours and ramped-up security in order to take part in the state's 17th annual marathon and half-marathon.
Giga said that starting the day of the bombings in Boston last month, registration for the New Jersey Marathon spiked.
"Runners are resilient," said Oz Pearlman, the race's winner. "We want to kick some [expletive]."
With the anticipated heavy turnout – just shy of the record 12,000 last year – came the need for intense preparations, however. Fences cordoned off pieces of boardwalk still wrecked by October's superstorm Sandy. And the portion of the eight-town course through Asbury Park and Ocean Grove had to be rerouted over two bridges.
In a matter of a few weeks, what had been a routine security procedure for local police limited mainly to traffic control suddenly demanded coordination with every level of law enforcement – from the uniformed state troopers at the finish line to the unseen federal agents in the crowd.
Runners were given clear plastic bags to hold their water bottles and granola bars while spectators weren't allowed to even carry purses. Bomb-sniffing K-9s patrolled the boardwalk in Long Branch – where the race ended – as SWAT vans idled in nearby lots.
"Basically, everyone's here," state police Lt. Joe Sansone said of the police presence. "Boston changed everything."
And those changes will likely remain for years to come, authorities say. Just as a would-be bomber aboard a plane led to the required removal of shoes at airports, so did the two suspected terrorists in Boston likely bring an end to backpacks at marathons.

Combine results do matter...for the draft. Not for their careers.
Don't believe it...Ask clowney's financial planner now that he ran faster than most wr's did.

Combine results do matter...for the draft. Not for their careers.
Don't believe it...Ask clowney's financial planner now that he ran faster than most wr's did.
Some of the best NFL'ers come in with a chip on their shoulder from being draft shafted - Hope Carlos comes in with one to motivate him if he falls out of the second rd. RB's are not that highly coveted on draft day in the Not For Long league.
Browns need ya though bro.
I have a way that would reduce injuries:
Play three qtrs...yeah that's it.
The best pitcher from Northeast OH is going to Louisville. The top rated pitcher from OH is going to North Carolina. That's like losing the top two football players players in the state.
Can't keep losing these kids if you want to be a top 20 program. Maybe Urban should visit baseball prospects as well.
I think this upcoming year we will see the best of both worlds - an aggressive offense AND and aggressive defense. I don't think we have to go back to tressel ball. I never thought punting was that important.
This year should be fun football to watch.
This is why I like the black helmet stripe that Meyer makes freshman wear.
They have to earn it to get it off.
It starts everyone - no matter the stars - in the same place.
Or join 'em.
The NCAA doesn't seem to care. Why does the Big 10?
The best thing is we have not only have depth at the RB position - but quality depth.
I think we will see the same at WR as well. Lots of options for Braxton if the line holds up.
Orange suites them.....him well.
The new playoff system will make this even more relevant and more pressurized.
Instead of bowl games as a benchmark to having a good program or season - fan bases and AD's will be asking coaches this question:
When was the last time we made the playoffs?
I trust Urb has seen the need for a big time Defensive Coordinator who can also adjust-recruit-and scheme - so we can answer that question simply........every year!
There's gonna be a run on orange sweater vests...invest now!
Better schedule but it's what we love and fret about college football - more than one loss ( if you are a big ten team that is) - and 99% of the time it will mean no playoffs.
Urban did say at his press conference that he would assemble the best coaching staff in America. Not there yet my man.
Always would love to have the fire and grit of Speilman on this staff.
I thought Tress approached him at one time but his wife's illness and young kids were a major issue.
And the problem is many of these guys can make more $ working three days a week as an announcer or analyst vs. 364 as a coach.
This may be surprising but Louisville had one of the best defenses - statistically - this year.
With Charlie Strong leaving - and ties to urban - would Vance Bedford be someone we would look at?
Just thinking out loud - I know we have a D coordinator in place - at least in title.
I know i'm jumping the gun on this - and trust me i love this kids heart and athleticism - but here would be a great redshirt candidate. Next yr. we will be even more loaded with athletes.
He is the youngest for this class and still growing - 1 yr. to focus on his studies and improve his body and speed - then lookout.
A great case scenario - Johnny Dixon takes over for Philly.
Does anyone have an update on christian bryant? He could help - big time.
Will he be granted a medical redshirt by then ? Could he be ready in three weeks - won't that be like 12 weeks of recovery?
Please pass this info along to Luke.
UFM for todays modern era.
Loved the 42-39 game - thought Tress did his best coaching job maybe ever (offensively) in that one.
That game was epic and I was there. He kept the mittens D off balance all day long - something he chose to forget in many many games.
Can't argue his record vs. and priority he placed on the rivalry...but these are new times now.
Michigan week is important for the rivalry and tradition - but the rest of the bcs pollsters could care less unless we win by 21+.
Haven't really followed his injury update - but is there any way to him to be ready for whatever bowl game we will be in?
More Big Ten teams must step up and pay for better Coaches/Facilities/and beat tougher non conf. opponents. in season and in bowl season.
This is the Only way this noise will stop. Captain obvious statement.
10-15 years ago most of todays top teams were not that relevant on a national level.
Look at Oregon 10-15 years ago - not that relevant
A & M - not that relevant
Bama - not really that relevant they posted a 3–8 record in 2000 to a 7–5 record in 2001 and a 10–3 record in 2002.
Baylor - not that relevant
Florida St. - not that great
2001 Florida State 8–4 W Gator 15 15
2002 Florida State 9–5 L Sugar† 23 21
2003 Florida State 10–3 L Orange† 10 11
2004 Florida State 9–3 W Gator 14 15
2005 Florida State 8–5 L Orange† 23 22
2006 Florida State 7–6 w Emerald
2007 Florida State 7–6 L Music City
Look now. They all are winning the arms race - new or upgraded stadiums/better head coaches escalating asst. coach salaries/better recruiting..etc.
Fortunately for us OSU has stepped up as well. Others in the conference need to soon.
thanks - who could we turn to to replace shazier in this class if Kwon stays in the south?
Are all of our eggs in Kwons basket?
I do like Booker though...seen him play - he is a beast.
Anyone have any inside info on Clifton Garret from Illinois?
Dude passes the looks test as an inside backer - and Vrabel was listed before as recruiting him.
The $EC pays better no doubt
The men's basketball team posted a multi-year APR score of 963, above the Division-I average of 952.
"I'm extremely proud of what our players continue to do academically," John Calipari said in a release. "Today's APR scores are another example of the hard work they put in to succeed both on the court and in the classroom. We're expecting our APR to jump even higher next year with the academic success and graduations we had this year."
It marks the continuation of high scores for teams under Calipari. Since the first two years of the APR, when Calipari's Memphis teams were under the national average, his scores have been above (and usually well above) the mean.
He really means...."'I'm not making that mistake again - I'm hiring the best test takers...I mean tutors $ can buy".

Venezuelans on edge amid shifting news on Chavez
Maduro's remarks about the president came at the end of an interview in which he praised his government's programs at length, recalled the history of the Cuban revolution and touched on what he called the long-term strength of Chavez's socialist Bolivian Revolution movement.
He mentioned that former Cuban President Fidel Castro had been in the hospital, and praised Cuba's government effusively. "Today we're together on a single path," Maduro said.
Critics in Venezuela sounded off on Twitter while the interview was aired, some saying Maduro sounded like a mouthpiece for the Cuban government. In their online messages, many Chavez opponents criticized a dearth of information provided by Maduro, accusing him of withholding key details about Chavez's condition. Opposition politicians have demanded that the government provide the country with a full medical report.
Even some of his supporters said on Tuesday that they wished they knew more.
"We're distressed by El Comandante's health," said Francisca Fuentes, who was walking through a downtown square with her grandchildren. "I think they aren't telling us the whole truth. It's time for them to speak clearly. It's like when you have a sick relative and the doctor lies to you every once in a while."
Chavez has been fighting an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer since June 2011. He has declined to reveal the precise location of the tumors that have been surgically removed. The president announced on Dec. 8, two month after winning re-election, that his cancer had come back despite previous surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
"There's nothing we can do except wait for the government to deign to say how he is really," said Daniel Jimenez, an opposition supporter who was in a square in an affluent Caracas neighborhood.
Jimenez and many other Venezuelans say it seems increasingly unlikely that Chavez can be sworn in as scheduled Jan. 10 for his new term.
Venezuelans rang in 2013 as usual with fireworks raining down all over the capital of Caracas. But some of Chavez's supporters had long faces as they gathered in Bolivar Plaza on Monday night holding pictures of the president. A government-sponsored New Year's Eve celebration there had been called off, and instead his supporters strummed guitars and read poetry in Chavez's honor.
Maduro didn't discuss the upcoming inauguration plans, saying only that he's hopeful Chavez will improve.

From the City's website:
Your Bike:
- Always keep your bicycle locked, even in a garage or on a porch.
- Lock at least one wheel (preferably two) and the frame to the rack or object. This also prevents your bicycle from falling over. If you only lock the wheel, your bicycle can be quickly detached and carried away.
- If you don't need a quick release seat and wheels, replace them with standard bolts. If you do want quick release items, take them with you or lock them to your frame.
- Take lights, mirrors, bags and panniers with you, along with anything else that is not securely fastened.
- Consider riding an inexpensive (beater) bicycle for everyday use and short trips.
Your Lock:
- Invest in the best quality lock (or two) that you can afford-usually a hardened steel U-lock or hardened steel chain and padlock.
- Use two different locks-one for each wheel-so that a thief would need two different types of tools.
- Position a U-lock so that the keyhole faces down towards the ground. A keyhole that is located in the middle of the straight bar (instead of at the end) offers greater security.
- Make sure chains cannot be smashed against the ground.
Where to Lock?
- Look for a busy, well-lit place to lock up.
- Lock to sturdy, immovable objects that are securely bolted down.

Lunch time outing
I'm trying to get out of the office more on my lunch break. Took the camera with and played around with filters. I think I want to take some more black and white images of the City. This one is from Leadenhall Market. It's a favourite with bankers!

Santa Claus, Mrs. Santa and Mayor Tisdahl arrived by fire truck to flip the switch and turn on the lights at the tree in Fountain Square Friday afternoon. Hundreds of families gathered to watch, swinging glow sticks and wearing Christmas hats.
Once Tisdahl had turned on the lights, families headed over to 1612 Sherman Ave., to line up for a visit with Santa Claus. The traditional festivities were complemented by the city's first ever Holiday Bash in downtown Evanston. The Evanston Chamber of Commerce sponsored a free trolley ride to take shoppers to businesses around downtown Evanston for discounts, some freebies and live music.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I loved this card as it provided the opportunity to add your own words on the back of card. Great to use if you are using announcement and event invite together."
"LOVE LOVE LOVE Wedding Paper Divas!!! There was a minor mistake when we got our proofs, but that was fixed right away...such great customer service! My fiancé and I were absolutely amazed at how quickly the save the dates arrived. We are beyond pleased with the beautiful cards and have received countless compliments from our family and friends. We will definitely recommend the site to others."
"The design was one our top choices for wedding save the date, invitations, and response cards. The paper and printing were top quality and the ivory color added a nice touch of class. In the end, we decided to chose an alternative design as the intricate vines were a little too delicate for our liking, but overall a really great card. Would recommend"
"We chose this for our save the dates / invitations because we are getting married at a vineyard, and this print was by FAR the most elegant and interesting vineyard print! We used the light purple color for the "Save The Date" text at the top and changed it to be mostly lowercase because it looked off-balance to me when it was all capitals. I do wish the paper was slightly thicker, but at this price range, it was the sturdiest of all we ordered samples for. Everyone has loved the save the dates so far- tons of compliments! And we are using the print on our cake as well!!"
"I have had so many compliments on my STD cards. Everyone is saying how perfectly they reflect my style. The quality is excellent, and while the brown is a little darker than it looks on the computer screen, it is still beautiful. These are the perfect cards for anyone who loves palm trees like I do. They are casual, but not too casual. We love the beach, and these were just the perfect cards for us."

10 facts about Rangers manager Ron Washington
He needs just 10 Ws to pass Bobby Valentine for most wins in franchise history.
ARLINGTON Whether you think Ron Washington is the best manager in Rangers history, there's one thing no one can deny -- he's about to be the winningest. Washington needs 10 more wins to pass Bobby Valentine for most wins in franchise history. To honor Wash, here are 10 things you might not know about the Texas manager.
1. Dodger deubt: Washington made his big league debut in 1977, when the Los Angeles Dodgers called him up for a brief 10-game stint. During that time, then-Dodgers outfielder (and current Reds manager) Dusty Baker took Washington under his wing, buying Washington his first suit and even yelling down the dugout to Tommy Lasorda to let Washington pinch hit. "He taught me how to act in the clubhouse. Taught me how to be a pro. … All those things you pass on," Washington told our Michael Florek in June.
2. "Immature" taste in music: Washington has a strict routine before every game, which includes working out a lineup with bench coach Jackie Moore, then power walking around the field 10 times and doing sit ups to stay in shape. Washington's soundtrack of choice when he's out on a walk? Juvenile. Washington told KTCK-AM in June, "The beat of his music keeps me going."
3. Fourth time's the charm?: Washington interviewed for managerial jobs three different times before landing his job in Texas. He interviewed twice with the Oakland A's – once in 2003 and again in 2005 – only to see the job go to Ken Macha both times. He also interviewed with the Florida Marlins in 2005, but Joe Girardi got the job instead. For his part, Washington was convinced he'd be named manager in Oakland, telling our Barry Horn, "I thought I had the job."
4. NOLA native: Washington, who was born in New Orleans in 1952, still maintains an off-season home there that he's owned for nearly 30 years, according to D Magazine. When the home was damaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, Washington rebuilt it in part with the help of former players like Miguel Tejada and Jason Giambi, who combined to donate more than $68,000. Washington is the first New Orleans native to be a major league manager.
5. No-hitter splitter: Washington was watching from the bench earlier this year when Houston's Marwin Gonzalez broke up Yu Darvish's perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning. But Washington was once in Gonzalez's shoes ... sort of. On May 28, 1988, a 36-year-old Washington came on as a pinch hitter for the Indians and ended 35-year-old Odell Jones' no-hitter with one out in the ninth. It was Jones' first MLB start in seven years, and he only made one more before retiring.
6. Texas tenacity: Washington almost didn't interview with the Rangers after the 2006 season. Washington was still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged his home in New Orleans, and was tired of putting himself out there only to be overlooked. But Wash was finally convinced to interview with Texas – not by Jon Daniels, but by Oakland GM Billy Beane. "[Beane] didn't say you have what it takes [to manage]," Washington told Barry Horn. "He said, 'You can't turn down an opportunity to interview.'"
7. Major minor leaguer: As a player, Washington was a picture of perseverance. After signing with the Royals as a 19 year old in 1971, Washington spent the next 11 seasons in the minor league, playing in 1,009 games and racking up 4,010 plate appearances. His minor league career was only broken up by a 10-game stint with the Dodgers in 1977.
8. Proper portrayals: Washington is a key figure in the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis and the subsequent 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt. The story focuses on Oakland GM Billy Beane's attempts to use sabermetrics to help the A's win on a budget, which took place during Washington's tenure as Oakland's third base coach. Washington was played by actor Brent Jennings in the film, and he said he was pleased with the way he was portrayed. Washington told our Evan Grant in 2011: "The few lines I had, [Jennings] handled them very well. He was assertive and decisive. And that's how I am, so I was happy to see that."
9. OK in OKC: Though some fans may not realize it, Washington's managerial career isn't his first stint in the Rangers organization. Washington spent the final year of his 20-year playing career with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, hitting .238/.248/.322 in 101 games before retiring in 1990. Washington even tried his hand at pitching that year, throwing three innings of relief work while allowing eight base runners and two earned runs. Those were the only innings Washington ever pitched as a pro.
10. Impressive impressions: Washington has never lacked for confidence, and that shined through during his interview with the Rangers. After he finished speaking with Jon Daniels, Thad Levine, AJ Preller, and Don Welke, Washington announced to the group: "I know I impressed you guys."
