- Mendoza ready to open new chapter with KC
- Herrera 'blessed' to find success at young age
- Escobar gets taste of two hole
- Crown points
ANAHEIM -- Royals left fielder Alex Gordon is off to a poor start at the plate: 0-for-13 with no runs, no RBIs, no nothing.After Gordon went 0-for-5 in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Angels, manager Ned Yost said he might give Gordon Monday night off in the series opener at Oakland. The A's have left-hander Tommy Milone pitching, so Yost has the option of starting right-handed-hitting Jason Bourgeois instead of left-handed Gordon. "I'll think through it. We may give him a break tomorrow," Yost said. "The only way we're going to get Bourgeois or Mitch [Maier] is when these guys aren't hitting. So you take advantage of it when you can. I don't know that we're going to do it -- we'll think through and see where we're at tomorrow." Gordon has been on base just once, with a walk, and has struck out six times. "Obviously it wasn't a good series for me," Gordon said. "It's a long season so I've got to forget about it and move on. I've got to start helping this team out, especially if I'm going to be at the top of the order. Luckily guys like [Eric] Hosmer, [Billy] Butler and [Jeff] Francoeur had a good series and were able to pick me up. So that makes a good team." A diving stop by first baseman Albert Pujols deprived Gordon of a hit in the third inning on Sunday. "Pujols. Yeah, he won a Gold Glove for a reason," Gordon said. He's not the Royals' only slow starter. Third baseman Mike Moustakas and center fielder Lorenzo Cain each are 1-for-11 (.091). Moustakas' one hit, though, was a home run.
Mendoza ready to open new chapter with KC
ANAHEIM -- Royals pitcher Luis Mendoza gets his another chance, beginning Monday night at Oakland."I'm ready and this is what I've been waiting for all these years," Mendoza said. In 2008 he broke camp with the Texas Rangers and was in their starting rotation. That didn't last long, and eventually his career sputtered for a while. Now, at age 28, he's opening the season as the Royals' No. 4 starter. "A new team and a new challenge and I just look forward to doing well and helping my team," he said. Mendoza led Major League pitchers in Spring Training with a 0.47 ERA (one earned run in 19 1/3 innings) and tied for the lead with four victories. Last year, including the playoffs, he was 14-5 with a 2.03 ERA for Triple-A Omaha, and was Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year. Then he came to Kansas City and won both his starts. "I just try to bring all that from last year to the Major League level. I know it's the big leagues; I know it's different; I know the hitters are smarter," he said. "But I just try to do the same thing, keep the same consistency in my delivery and mix up my pitches more." He's made just two brief relief appearances previously at Oakland, but he likes the old Coliseum. "Why not?" he said, smiling. "It's a big field. It's good to pitch in a big field with the good defense we have."
Herrera 'blessed' to find success at young age
ANAHEIM -- There was a nice story this spring about how pitcher Kelvin Herrera called his mother in the Dominican Republic last year, no matter how late the hour, every time he won a promotion within the Royals' organization.And there were a lot of calls because Herrera went from Class A to Double-A to Triple-A to the Major Leagues. So the question is: Did he call his mother Maria after he won a spot on the Royals' roster to open the season? "Of course," Herrera said. "Her son is a big league player now." And, even if he didn't realize it, the right-handed reliever is also the youngest player on the youngest 25-man roster in the Majors. The team's average age on Opening Day was 27 years, 155 days and Herrera was 22 years, 97 days. "The youngest one?" he said. "Nice. I think God blessed me." Manager Ned Yost sees Herrera's tremendous potential, one that combined for three Minor League teams last year got him a 7-1 record, 14 saves, a 1.60 ERA and 70 strikeouts (against 15 walks) in 67 2/3 innings. "Stuff -- 95 to 97 [mph]. Got a good breaking ball, good changeup. The ability to throw strikes. He's got good stuff, he's young," Yost said. Youngest on the youngest team. "Everybody's young here and somebody has to be the youngest," Herrera said. "And it's me."
Escobar gets taste of two hole
ANAHEIM -- Alcides Escobar batted in the second slot of the Royals' lineup on Sunday, but it's nothing permanent -- although someday it could be."It's a one-day thing. We're not setting anything in stone, we just go day to day with it," manager Ned Yost said. A lineup shuffle started with Chris Getz, who's hit Angels starter Ervin Santana well in the past, starting at second base. With Yuniesky Betancourt out of the lineup, Yost wanted a right-handed bat behind the left-handed Mike Moustakas to discourage the Angels from bringing in a lefty to face Moose. So he dropped Lorenzo Cain from second to seventh. Also, Yost didn't want three lefty batters at the top of the lineup, so he batted Getz, a lefty, ninth and moved the right-handed Escobar to the second slot. Got all that? Anyway, Escobar -- in Yost's view -- is making good progress as a hitter and might eventually have the ability to bat in the two-hole regularly. "Last year, he was more a pull hitter, had a loop in his swing," Yost said. "This year he's eliminated the loop, he can drive the ball to all fields, he can bunt, he can do situational things." So maybe Escobar will swing second someday. But not on Monday night -- Cain will be back in the No. 2 spot at Oakland.
Crown points
Catcher Humberto Quintero, who caught the Angels' Bobby Wilson straying off first base on Saturday, has recorded more pickoffs than any other catcher since 2010. That was his 12th pickoff since then, including seven in '10 and four last year for the Astros. The next closest catchers have five in that span. After Eric Hosmer, 22, and Mike Moustakas, 23, each homered in Saturday's 6-3 victory, the Elias Sports Bureau found that was the first time two Royals infielders under the age of 24 homered in the same game. Left fielder Alex Gordon will receive his 2011 Gold Glove Award during pregame ceremonies at Friday night's home opener.

Providence, RI (Sports Network) - Devin Ebanks posted 21 points and seven rebounds, leading the eighth-ranked Mountaineers to an 88-74 victory over Providence in Big East action.
West Virginia (20-5, 9-4 Big East), which had dropped two in a row, including a triple-overtime decision vs. rival Pittsburgh last Friday, used a 23-0 run early on and quelled Providence's (12-14, 4-10) hot start to the second half to come away victorious.
Wellington Smith and Da'Sean Butler each scored 16 points, with Smith also grabbing 10 rebounds for the Mountaineers, who won the battle in the paint, 50-20.
Jamine Peterson carried the Friars with 20 points and 15 rebounds, while Brian McKenzie, Vincent Council and Marshon Brooks each netted 13 points in defeat.
Sharaud Curry came in averaging 15.5 points but went 0-for-10 from the field and ended with eight points in the setback, Providence's sixth straight.
The Friars shot 24.0 percent from the field in the first half and trailed by 18 at the break. However, they scored the first 10 points out of the locker room to get the Dunkin' Donuts Center crowd back in the game.
Peterson and Duke Mondy each hit from behind the arc, and the former added a layup to cut the gap to 46-38 just two minutes in.
The deficit was as low as six, 48-42, several possessions later, but West Virginia took over from the there, scoring nine consecutive points for some breathing room.
Butler's jumper with just over 13 minutes remaining ended the run, which culminated in a 57-42 edge, and the margin was double digits the rest of the way.
The visitors trailed by two early on before embarking on a seemingly back- breaking 23-0 flurry.
Providence missed eight field goals and committed four turnovers during the seven-minute stretch, during which Butler converted a pair of three-point plays.
Deniz Kilicli's layup near the 11-minute mark finished off the run for a commanding 25-4 cushion, and West Virginia cruised to a 46-28 halftime lead.
The Mountaineers have won the last six meetings vs. the Friars, who play their fourth straight top-10 foe next Tuesday when they host Syracuse...West Virginia next hosts Seton Hall on Saturday...West Virginia outrebounded Providence, 43-28...The Friars made 37.5 percent from the field overall...Darryl Bryant hit all 10 of his free throws en route to a 14-point effort for West Virginia.

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals are expected to promote pitchers Craig Stammen, Yunesky Maya, Atahualpa Severino and Brad Peacock, outfielder Corey Brown and infielder Stephen Lombardozzi Tuesday. They are coming from Triple-A Syracuse.
All four pitchers are expected to work out of the bullpen, while Brown and Lombardozzi are expected to come off the bench and get a couple of starts.
Of the seven, Lombardozzi, Brown and Peacock will be in the big leagues for the first time. Severino has been on the Nats' big league roster, but never appeared in a game.
Lombardozzi and Peacock are arguably Washington's best players in the system. Peacock, who was the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year, went a combined 15-3 with a 2.39 ERA for Syracuse and Double-A Harrisburg. He also struck out 177 in 146 2/3 innings.
Lombardozzi may be the leadoff hitter the Nationals are looking for. In 134 games, Lombardozzi hit .309 with eight home runs, 52 RBIs and a .360 on-base percentage.
Ramos to catch Strasburg for first time
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson said that catcher Wilson Ramos will be behind the plate when right-hander Stephen Strasburg makes his season debut on Tuesday at Nationals Park.
It will be the first time Ramos will be behind the plate when Strasburg is on the mound.
"Tomorrow, I will talk to him about how he likes to throw in a game because we need to stay on the same page," Ramos said. "I'm excited because he is the best prospect in this organization, so I'm very excited to catch him."
Tickets are still available to see Strasburg and Ramos work together and can be purchased at nationals.com.

South Dakota's race for US Senate got a little more crowded Tuesday. Dr. Annette Bosworth announced her intentions to run for the seat being vacated by senator Tim Johnson.
On a farm outside Plankinton is probably the last place you'd look to find the next US Senator. But with Tuesday's announcement, Dr. Annette Bosworth hopes the prospective road to DC starts in the backyard of her childhood home.
"I think the underdog is clearly the definition of what I am and I want to be right where I am, it's the perfect place." Said Dr. Bosworth.
With her family behind her, Bosworth said she chose to throw her hat in the ring because she can't run from what's right; even if the experts say there's no chance she can win.
Aside from being the only woman in the race, so far, Bosworth is also the only Republican candidate that does not have any prior experience in public office. To Bosworth that's a huge advantage.
"I don't want to be identified that way! I am not a politician, I don't want to go there and say oh thank goodness I'm here forever! No, if I can't make it better, if I can't improve the process that is called failure! And I'm just a little bit competitive!" Said Bosworth.
The farm has been in Bosworth's family for five generations and just like her great-great grandparents who homesteaded this land, she hoping to be a pioneer in Washington.
Bosworth is the third republican to seek the seat being vacated by Senator Tim Johnson. She joins former Governor Mike Rounds and state senator Larry Rhoden. Democrat Rick Weiland is also seeking the senate seat.

WTF is this plz?!This is a journal to explain why this account is run the way it is. If you are here it's for one of two reasons:1) you clicked on the "Why?" link beside my Critique Not Desired - bullet point #4 covers that. There is more information in my FAQ (from where you also may have come)2) you left some ignorant or rude comment on one of my stock images and I didn't feel like dealing with it (again) so I gave you this link to help soothe your suffering.For my watchers and other nice people who just happened to stumble here: Hi! Thanks for watching, visiting, using the stock! You guys are the reason I make stock and the reason I keep posting stock even though some people really just Do. Not. Get. It. For those who are confused or scared, let me run it down for you:The images in this account are posted into the Stock & Resources section of deviantART. By the site's own definition, this is sec
Unsourced Stock on TumblrUPDATE: DMCA notice was served and tumblr removed the post. We'll see how it goes from here.--Big thanks to the kind people who continue to message me about this tumblr blog which re-posts stock images without proper source credit.I am very aware of this blogger and this is not the first time I've seen them post my stock without a link. They continuously post "references," some of which are legitimate resources and some that are not, without credit. Their reasoning for not giving credit is that they are "too busy" and since they are not claiming the stock as their own and not making a profit that it's okay, and they are doing nothing wrong. See their FAQ for more of this fantastic reasoning.They claim they will take down anything that they are asked to take down, but by then of course it's been reblogged, unsourced, 20,000 times - so what's th
Regarding the Boston Marathon BombingI've tried to write this journal a few times, but I am having trouble finding words.I live in Massachusetts, so Boston is "my home" when I travel and the city that I most strongly associate with myself. I'm mad. I don't know how to feel about things like this other than to be mad. In an age of immediate and 24 news, it's hard to not know who or why, and endlessly frustrating to watch people fight and blame without any factual information.I do love the quote from Fred Rogers that has been going around. But I also think about the words of people like George Carlin. Is this just how we live now? I feel like people my age, who were teens during 9/11, live our lives just assuming that any and every day there's a chance we could be violently and senselessly killed by a random act of violence. Does that mean that the people who do these things have succeeded?It's aggr
VERY IMPORTANT SENSHISTOCK INFOSorry for the CAPS SPAM, but this message is *VERY IMPORTANT* and I hope everyone will read it. Tuxedo Dan - a model who's image is in some older SenshiStock posts - has rescinded his rights for the distribution of his image. I have moved all images featuring Tuxedo Dan into storage.NO PHOTOGRAPHIC-BASEED PERSONAL OR COMMERCIAL ARTWORKS ARE TO BE CREATED FEATURING TUXEDO DAN.If you have photos of him saved in your personal reference folders (or, if you have a SenshiStock USB drive), please note that he has told me that it's still okay for those people to use them for pose reference. You can still draw your own artwork using his poses as a reference, but his photographic likeness must *NOT* be used in any work, commercial or personal. Please continue to credit SenshiStock in images where you have referenced his likeness and send me links to the work if it's posted online. His images will no longer be sent out on future USB purchases.I am sad to have
A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their
Why you feature stolen work?!?!Lately there seem to have been a few myths flying around in particular with regards to how we as Community Volunteers, give Daily Deviations. Many people seem to think that we sit at our desks in dark little rooms and let out evil laughter whilst we purposefully feature stolen work. The dark rooms and laughter - well I can't say yes or no on that one! But I can promise you it's not our intent to give exposure to people who have stolen work. I recently featured a piece of work that turned out to be stolen. However I went into extensive conversations with the artist before I featured it, and with added metadata and dates, it's difficult to know where to draw the line. I've given people the benefit of the doubt before - and it's worked out nicely as their work has been legitimate. Below are some comments I have seen being thrown around the past few days - and hopefully an attempt to bust the myth."I thought at least that you people would check to make sure the work was the

Studio GhibliA Tokyo based animation studio that needs no introduction! Studio Ghibli is best known for their traditionally animated anime films. It was originally founded by the legendary pair, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, back in 1985. Ghibli is named after an Italian war plane that was used for scouting, this reflected Miyazaki's love for not only airplanes but also Italy. The name itself means "hot wind blowing through the Sahara Desert".Takahata and Miyazaki It was formed after the great success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which both Takahata and Miyazaki worked on. Their first feature film hit was Laputa, or some of you may know it as Castle in the Sky. Most of the films that Studio Ghibli produces is by Miyazaki, followed by Takahata, although they have worked with other film producers and directors as well.Family favourite, My Neighbour TotoroWalt Disney later acqui
Getting the Most out of dA: CommentingUsually, when you read something involving 'Commenting', you think of deviations and the commenting platform that allows other members of the community to voice their thoughts and opinions on the art shown. However, what is pretty evident, and something that most of us may forget, is that deviantART runs on the ability to give and get comments, be it on pieces of artwork, our profile pages, forums, and everywhere else in between.In a sense, without the ability to give and get comments, deviantART wouldn't be much of a website, much less #1 of online art communities around. Comments are not solely the cause of what makes deviantART what it is, but it has a huge impact on a lot of things. By giving and getting comments, not only do we interact with other members to really make this a community, we also have the ability to get our voices heard.It's quite an odd concept with us all facing screens, typing out our thoughts and opinions, but one thing we shouldn't forget is that commen

PE: Presentation mattersPresentation mattersIt's not just the artwork that tells you something about it's creator - on the internet, the way you present it is at least equally as important. Your painting can be a masterpiece, hanged in a local gallery, but as long as you post a blurry, badly cropped picture named "1564873" along with "..." in an artist's description, nobody will ever bother visiting your gallery. Creating a nice, representative profile page and setting a certain visual quality standard takes extra time and effort, but if you really care for your work (even if it's just a hobby), you should treat it with some respect.I've already written a related article called The power of context that tried to explain how to place your work in a context in order to better connect with your audience, this one is focused
Getting the Most out of dA: GroupsGroups are a platform on deviantART which allow you to share your art - what it is primarily used for. Immediately, once your art is accepted into the Gallery, your art is sent to the message centres of many members of that particular group, gaining you instant and wider exposure. However, to really enhance your deviantART experience, and to get the most out of deviantART, Groups shouldn't, and aren't, simply used for that.There are many roles you can play within a group. By taking up a role, you immediately get more out of deviantART than if you had not done so.Let's start with being a...

Untitled is just a synonym for lazy.Well, the color poem form I introduced to dA was a rousing success, but interest of late seems to have died down. So I'm back with a new form for you all, something exciting and new, something different, something that I will probably make into a contest once I get some points in the bank. You ready?EDITThere's a group now - feel free to head over to TheTitlePage! We're still in set-up mode, so excuse the plainness for now.Found Poetry Project - Titles as ArtOne of my favorite things about the creative process is coming up with a good title. The title can make or break a piece; it can give context not provided in the piece itself, set a tone or mood, or just give that little extra something you can't put a name on.You know I'm right. How many times have you stumbled into an ordinary piece with a beautifully creative title? And it's not something
Mutiple Thefts of deviantART Stock Models: UpdatedCurrent Update, Feb 9: It seems that the artworks created with the DA stock models have been taken down from all sites. This is good news!

Heathrow came 10th in a table of world airports compiled by UK-based airline and airport review organisation Skytrax.
Heathrow has made it into a list of the top 10 world airports compiled from views of nearly 13 million passengers globally.
The west London airport, which is opening a new £2.3 billion Terminal 2 in June, came 10th in a table compiled by UK-based airline and airport review organisation Skytrax.
A total of 12.85 million airport customers across 110 countries had to decide which of 410 airports would make the final list.
Skytrax said: "Heathrow has its very own art gallery as well as designer shopping facilities to keep passengers busy."
Top airport was Changi in Singapore, with Skytrax saying: "With features like a swimming pool, jacuzzi and butterfly garden, it's no wonder it came out on top."
Second was Incheon airport in Seoul, South Korea, with Munich third and Hong Kong fourth.
This was the top 10:
1. Singapore
2. Seoul

4. Hong Kong

A few problems with Facebook
I'm (clearly) not a stock market analyst or Wall Street Whiz (if I was that smart, how come I'm not rich?), but I have to say, some of the stuff that's coming out about the Facebook IPO makes this social media company that lives on its users' content and that's been portrayed as the company of the future look an awful lot like some rotten companies of the past. Sfist has an overview here.
And the fallout from the most hyped IPO in history bursts not just the illusion that Facebook is actually worth $100 billion, but the idea that Facebook is different than any other corporation hell-bent on making as much money as possible for a handful of very wealthy people ... For a company which Mark Zuckerberg boasted in a letter to investors "was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission," Facebook sure as hell acted like a company in helping to enrich insiders at the expense of public investors.
The way IPO's often work is no secret -- the underwriters try to create a furor of hype around the company so that the early investors (the pals of those underwriters) get in at a low price that soars quickly so they make a nice neat profit. In this case, that only worked for the folks who bought early and sold very fast.
Now Facebook and the underwriters are getting sued, and corporate lawyers will be getting rich (note to Facebook's counsel: Get paid in cash, not stock).
But the Facebook employees who got stock as part of the IPO will still be pretty rich, and they'll still be driving up real-estate prices in the Bay Area, and my trolls will still be telling me I hate and envy success. (Or maybe I measure success in ways that don't include personal wealth.)
At any rate, a lot of investors lost money on this deal, but Mark Zuckerberg won't miss any meals.
It closed today at 32, about 15% down from it's launch price but that is in a terrible market. If the Greek workers had taken a huge pay and benefit cut a week ago, you'd be looking at a fat ass profit on FB right now.
And an IPO that goes ballistic and doubles in price is hardly a success either - it just means it was priced wrong.
The only "investors" who lost money were not mom'n'pop, since they could not get in on the IPO anyway. No, the losers were institutions who took a risk - are you seriously telling me you give a crap about some hedge fund that punted and lost? I don't think so.
Rail at capitalism all you like, Tim, but the FB IPO was a historical footnote. You need a new shtick. And if you have a better idea for encouraging risk and innovation in CA's crucial high tech world, let's hear it, and you evidence to back it up.
Regulate the crap out of them, so that they can't make a killing out of selling your private, personal info that they got for free (or should I say 'stole'). Then perhaps the true innovaters -- the artists among us -- can afford to live in this freakin town.
How much did you contribute to the local economy last year?
you shoud check out how much revenue our arts, music, food, and culture festivals bring in -- the 4.2 billion dollars in annual revenue from our "bad art" nightlife can be a start -- and get back to us. Not to mention that the main reason people want to move here in the first place is the "bad art" fantasy of SF. Which of course you would never buy into, because how could something historical or cultural be vital? People obviously just want to live in San Francisco because of, er, the great-tasting tap water? The miles of sun-drenched French Riviera beaches? Oh! The gold. It must be the gold.
Keep posting the same thing though! Messaging, darling, messaging.
Great article! Here is another article from the Bay Area with a different analysis on the valuation and the optimal price of Facebook stock:
>"this social media company that lives on its users' content"
Yeah. Hey did you know that there are two advertisements on this very page that were served up by Google's Doubleclick program? And that Google recently changed it's privacy policy so that it can collect information on you ranging from the things you search for to the YouTube videos that you watch?
And the SFBG is only too happy to take their money even on the same page that they criticize Facebook for doing the exact same thing????
The SFBG hypocrisy is palpable.
Actually, I missed those ads. I was too busy posting this on Facebook.
Facebook lawsuits 'could amount to billions'
Angry shareholders file class-action lawsuit
Facebook "wants to leave Nasdaq, join NYSE"
TRIAL lawyers smell blood as furious investors begin filing lawsuits over losses, with billions of dollars possibly at stake in coming litigation.
More than a half-dozen law firms specialising in investor complaints said today they were launching class-action suits against the social networking giant and its underwriters.
I think it's called: Burn, baby, burn.
Facebook IPO is decade's biggest flop: Experts
New Delhi: At the end of five days of public trading, Facebook's IPO has been declared the worst performing in a decade.
A Bloomberg Businessweek report said official data shows Facebook's shares have seen value plummet by 13 per cent since the company was first listed on Nasdaq on Friday.
Good occasion for Priscilla Chan to prove she'll be there by her husband's side for better or for worse.

Relocating can be very challenging especially if you don't use reliable movers. It is always good to do research before hiring mover. Many people have lost their possession when relocating. It would be unwise to choose a mover without analyzing their professionalism. If you are finally set to relocate, you need to look for reputable Company to handle your property. But choosing a reputable mover is never a walk to the park, and thus you need to invest a lot of time. Doing good research prior to hiring movers will help avoid future disappointments. If you are looking for the best movers, the following guidelines will help you to make informed decision.
Determine the kind of services you need.
Movers offers various services ranging from transporting property to storage. Before hiring movers, ensure they can handle all your property from the start to finish. In nutshell, use a company that will handle all aspects of relocating
Insurance and license.
Relocating is risk project any home owner can decide to take. Thus you need to use a licensed and insured company. Ensure the firm you are using has enough compensation programme to repair or compensate any loses and breakage that may occur.
Ensure the firm you are hiring is recognized by the authority. They should be licensed to work in your state or country. In addition, use contractors affiliated with the reputable quality control.
Always work with a contractor who is ready to give you the support you need. Moving can be a nerve wrecking activity, and thus you need moving help. You should avoid becoming a jack of all trades, you will require support regarding loading, the best means to move your possessions and also how to store. Use contractor who will advise on how you can save money, and also how to avoid losses when moving.
Let them answer all you questions and also address your concerns. If a mover takes a lot of time to respond to your phone call or reply your email, it would be a big blunder to hire them.
Cheap offer can turn to be the most expensive offer. You should not only use price to decide on the company you will hire. Check the quality of work, no any time should quality be compromised. In addition, you should check customer's reviews before settling on the mover you will use. You can also get moving help from a friend who has recently relocated.
Undoubtedly, there are many movers and there will never be a shortage of movers. But you should not decide on impulse. Always choose wisely, your property is among the biggest investment you have made. The cost of moving will vary with method of transportation, for example, air transport will be the most expensive method, while truck will be among the cheapest means.
Look at they handle your possessions, guarantee and delivery period. Don't just look at the price, your property is by far the most valuable. Some mover will take forever to deliver your property. Professional movers will deliver your possessions in time and property will be secure.

Worcester drug dealer's sentence deferred due to nose op
5:12pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
A WORCESTER drug dealer has been warned he faces a substantial prison sentence after pleading guilty to seven charges involving £11,000.
But Judge Michael Cullum granted bail to 33-year-old Ryan Harford after hearing that he was due for a nose operation today.
Harford, of Christchurch Road, Tolladine, pleaded guilty at Worcester Crown Court to two charges of transferring property suspected to be proceeeds of criminal conduct. The sums were £7,000 and £4,000.
At a previous court he had admitted five charges of possessing heroin, ecstasy and a designer drug.
His barrister, Richard Bond, asked for a pre-sentence report, saying that Harford had already started seeing a community drug team in Birmingham because he was so well-known in Worcester. He also was waiting for a cyst to be removed from his nose.
His wife was pregnant and expecting their first child in March. Harford, who expected an immediate custody, wanted to put his affairs in order.
The judge deferred sentence for four weeks and asked for a report from the probation officer currently dealing with Harford.

As you hang holiday lights and light the candles, cast your gaze upon the universe's natural fireworks, as well.
Astronomers anticipate two more meteor showers this holiday season.
Nov. 17: Leonid Meteor Shower
- After years of heavier-than-average showers, the famous Leonids have returned and are expected to peak on Nov. 17 in the pre-dawn hours. These meteors are fast (about 40 miles per second) and can leave trails of smoke, according to Astronomy.com. They will appear to radiate from the constellation Leo the Lion. "Many Leonids are also bright. Usually, the meteors are white or bluish-white, but in recent years some observers reported yellow-pink and copper-colored ones," according to the website.
Dec. 13: Geminid Meteor Shower
- The last shooting star cluster before New Year's is the Geminid Meteor Shower, expected to peak in the pre-dawn hours after midnight Dec. 13-15. They will be visible in all parts of the sky and streak through the sky at more than 50 meteors per hour, almost a meteor a minute, according to EarthSky.com. The new moon is expected to fall on Dec. 13, making for optimal dark skies—as long as you avoid city lights and clouds, the website states.
Be sure to schedule a night this season to bundle up, lay out some blankets and enjoy the light show in the sky.

Another Public Hearing concerning proposed school closures is happening in the City-County Government Building.
The change of venue was made to accommodate citizen attendance, after an overflow crowd at the first meeting.
Declining enrollments and tight budgets are causing the Dougherty County School Board to look at closing and consolidating some schools, mainly in East Albany.
Last week, parents and people who live near those schools encouraged board members to slow down the process. And the consultant who came up with the proposal now says he'll look for other options.
Stephanie Springer is covering the meeting, and will have a full report later today.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Deputies with the Bay County Sheriff's Office responded to the McDonalds in Callaway over night when a 911 call reported a shooting. Upon arrival they found several witnesses standing around the victim who lay on the ground. The victim had a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The victim was conscious and told deputies he accidentally shot himself with a .38 caliber revolver. Deputies began applying pressure to the wound. It was then the victim's girlfriend and younger brother ran up from the west end of the parking lot. EMS responded to the scene. Investigators from the BCSO Criminal Investigations Division also were called to the scene.
Witnesses stated to investigators that just after eight p.m. they heard a single gunshot and saw the victim, who was sitting in a white Saturn in the parking lot, get out of the vehicle, holding his stomach, and fall to the ground. A witness seated in a car next to the Saturn stated she heard the victim say "…I accidentally shot myself" before falling to the ground.
When asked where the gun was, the victim's girlfriend admitted to throwing it into the woods next to the west end of the parking lot. After changing her account several times as to the reason she discarded the gun, she finally stated that the victim instructed her to grab the gun and go throw it into the woods. The victim's girlfriend and brother stated they had all smoked marijuana together and that the victim was trying to place the gun in his waistband when it went off. A digital scale, marijuana grinder, and a glass bong were found in the car and turned in as evidence for destruction.
Deputy Jeff Duggins and his K9 partner Durka were called to the scene and Durka located the gun in the woods. It was a .38 caliber snub-nosed 5 shot revolver. A preliminary database search on the gun indicates it may be stolen.
The victim is recovering at a local hospital. No charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
The above was released Thursday by the Bay County Sheriff's Office.

Hosted by O'Reilly's Productions, the event — that featured several bands like Juliette and the Licks — drew more than 15,000 people. I spent part of the afternoon at the "Oyster Information Center" where I learned how to shuck an oyster. To check out the proper technique for oyster shucking, please click the "Start" button. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oysters are grown in two ways: 1. In clusters attached to one another 2. As single shells Restaurants prefer single shell, farmed oysters because the shapes are mostly uniform. 1 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On Saturday I chose an oyster off of the cluster to shuck. The first step is to remove the hairs, grime, and dirt off of the oyster shell. 2 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's very important to use the proper tools when shucking oysters. A special oyster knife and safety gloves — or a thick towel — will protect hands from wounds. 3 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Examine the oyster closely to see where the two shells meet. Slide the knife in between the two shells. Wiggle to break a small hole. 4 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Once a hole has been made dig the knife deeper into the oyster. Slide the blade down along the underside of the top shell to sever the muscle. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The shell will begin to break open. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After the shell has popped open, it's customary to cut the muscle from the bottom shell and flip the oyster over. This makes for prettier presentation. 7 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our oyster was inedible and ugly. Oysters are best when super fresh.

(Updated at 12:36 p.m.) HARRISBURG Ś Utility regulators voted on Thursday to fine PennsylvaniaÆs largest gas utility $500,000 for a 2011 natural gas explosion that killed five people in Allentown and called the companyÆs safety record ōdownright alarming.ö
The Public Utility Commission unanimously approved modifications to a settlement with UGI Corp. that boosted the civil fine from $386,000 to the maximum allowed by law at the time of the explosion.
The settlement also requires the Reading, Pa.-based company to replace all its cast iron pipelines within 14 years and to expand and enhance its testing and monitoring programs.
The thunderous blast, which was traced to a crack in a cast iron gas main, killed five people, flattened a pair of rowhouses and set fire to a block of homes late one night in February 2011. Utility workers toiled for five hours to punch through ice, asphalt and concrete and seal the 12-inch main with foam to stop the flow of gas.
In their joint motion to modify the settlement, PUC Chairman Robert Powelson and Vice Chairman John Coleman said UGIÆs record of safety compliance is ōpatently unacceptable.ö
ōThis is the eighth time in slightly more than four years that this commission has adjudicated a matter containing allegations of gas safety violations by a UGI-owned gas distribution utility,ö they said. ōThis goes beyond cause for concern; it is downright alarming.ö
A spokesman said UGI planned to issue a statement later Thursday.
If UGI objects to the settlement, it will be referred to an administrative law judge, the PUC said.
HARRISBURG (AP) Ś Pennsylvania regulators are fining a utility the maximum $500,000 for a 2011 natural gas explosion that killed five people in Allentown.

The cause of the February 2011 explosion was traced to a crack in a cast iron gas main.
Commission Chairman Robert Powelson and Vice Chairman John Coleman say the case marked the eighth time in four years that the panel has dealt with alleged gas-safety violations by a UGI-owned distribution utility. They called that record ōdownright alarming.ö

Boone County —
Early Sunday morning, at 3:49 a.m., Indiana State Police responded to a two vehicle crash on I-465 SB at the 24.4 mm in Boone County that killed one man.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a male was driving a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix north in the south bound lanes of I-465 at the 24.4 mm. Nathaniel Mahoney, 30, of Washington was operating a 2004 Lincoln SUV south bound at the same location. The vehicles struck nearly head on in the middle of the three lane interstate. The Pontiac spun around and remained on the interstate facing south. The SUV came to rest down a grass embankment in the median.
The deceased was identified as Carlos Cavazos Jr. 31, of Washington, Ind.
Three passengers in the SUV and one passenger in the Pontiac were transported to St. Vincent's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Cavazos was pronounced dead at the scene by the Boone County Coroner's Office.
Indiana State Police report open alcohol beverage containers were found in the Pontiac.

Generally you can find plenty of information about your favorite stateside filmmaker, and depending on who they are (see: David Gordon Green), you can find a long list of potential upcoming projects to investigate. But being head-over-heels for a foreign director is a different story -- without the Hollywood system or independent film cliques to generate word of mouth or gossip, you can spend years without hearing a peep from even the biggest festival sweethearts, and only last week were were discussing around the Playlist water cooler where some of our favorite international filmmakers had gone in the last few years.
As we were pondering the status of these auteurs, good news hit the trades: Arnaud Desplechin's adaptation of Georges Devereux's "Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian" found a star in Benicio Del Toro and would be shooting June 18th in Michigan. Titled "Jimmy Picard," Del Toro would play the Plains Indian character who suffers from inexplicable medical problems after World War II and begins sessions with author/ethno-psychiatrist Devereux (Mathieu Amalric). With Desplechin in mind, we took a look at four other directors who struck a chord yet promptly disappeared from the spotlight. Have any favorites we missed? Sound off in the comments section.
Who: Argentina's premiere filmmaker often regarded as the Argentinian David Lynch for some inexplicable reason. Yes, her films are odd, but more psychologically disorienting then as outwardly weird as Lynch can be.
Years Away From The Game: Four. Her last film was the critically acclaimed "The Headless Woman" which screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008 and made our year end list that year.
What Happened: Even before Martel's 'Headless Woman' premiered Stateside, she was already talking about her next would-be project, an ambitious sci-fi film about an alien invasion based off an popular Argentine comic book called "El Eternauta." It all seemed to be moving ahead nicely (she was said to be writing after Cannes 2008) but as it turns out, she had conceptual differences with the producers and then left the project. So then three years later there's been nary a peep from the filmmaker other than having recently directed a spooky short film called "Muta" for fashion brand Miu Miu's "The Women's Tales" series (watch it below). Whether the director is writing a new script or weighing offers remains unclear at the moment.
What To Watch: Everything she's ever made. Martel only has three films to her name, so catch up shouldn't be difficult. Marked by their use of sound, an unnerving approach to film grammar that tends to put the viewer on subtle unease (she doesn't use establishing shots for one), a social and class perspective, plus a disquieting psychological anxiety throughout, all of Martel's films are fascinating, utterly engrossing, and burrow deep into your head like a psychosis while you're watching them. "The Holy Girl" (exec produced by Pedro Almodóvar) is a very disquieting coming of age/sexuality tale imbued with religious fervor and "La Cienaga" ("The Swamp") deals with the disturbing issues between a self-medicated bourgeois family, their daughters and unappreciated servants. Not only a deeply unique and idiosyncratic voice in international cinema (which made her one to instantly watch years ago), Martel creates rich stories for female characters so we'd imagine adventurous actresses like Tilda Swinton or Nicole Kidman should give her a ring and ask the filmmaker to conceive a story for them; a move that would surely benefit them all. Or better yet, she'll meet Rooney Mara, an actress who was seemingly born to star in her films.
Who: One of the preeminent filmmakers in the Japanese J-horror scene from the late 90s and aughts, watching the maverick Kurosawa genre-bend and blend, from thrillers to creepy intelligent horror, to oblique and wonderfully strange psychological horror, to drama and back again has been as exciting as witnessing any incandescent newcomer in cinema land on the scene. Widely regarded as one of the most talented filmmakers of New Japanese Cinema, he unfortunately doesn't get the same amount of interest that someone like Takashi Miike does (and no, there's no relation to Akira Kurosawa).
Years Away From The Game: Four. Kurosawa also premiered his last film, "Tokyo Sonata" at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008 to much acclaim where it won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section), but the picture mostly fell on deaf ears upon its limited stateside release the following year outside of a few appreciative arthouses (again, it made our best of 2009 list).
What Happened: While "Tokyo Sonata" was arguably a horror of sorts -- imagine watching your beloved family tear apart in what felt like an excruciating slow-motion -- Kurosawa was clearly testing the limits of genre as the film, for all real intents and purposes, was a masterfully crafted psychological drama (or trauma). And it makes us wonder if Kurosawa split his audience in doing so and or perhaps puzzled financial backers in Japan, but the picture is his best work and shows a filmmaker constantly willing to experiment, progress and grow. Then again, genre fluidity and blending has always been a cornerstone of Kurosawa's work so perhaps he's just waiting for inspiration and or a production check to clear. As of right now it remains uncertain what Kurosawa's next feature-length effort will be and when it will arrive, but perhaps we'll eventually see the television mini-series he directed "Redemption" (aka "Shokuzai") that debuted in early 2012 in Japan.
What To Watch: Although horror fans will likely stick with "Pulse" and "The Loft" as their fave Kurosawa picks, it's really his post-traditional J-horror work that is his most remarkable. "Charisma," essentially about a toxic tree in what is potentially a haunted forest, which one could reductively call an ecological horror, is an unforgettable and haunting picture. The enigmatic 1997 serial killer film "Cure" is a genuinely frightening exploration of post-modern identity. And the surreal dystopian love story "Barren Illusion" and the black comedy cum psychological thriller "Doppelganger" are also good places to start.

Picking up on the Indiewire article discussing lack of female filmmakers at Cannes this year(and every year) and the general lack of female directors anywhere....this list should have been exclusively women.....comprised of some of the women from anywhere in the world who at some point made an interesting film (despite the odds) but were unable to make a follow-up....nevermind in 4 or 5 years but.....ever. I know it's a reality, but it's a tough one to take lying down. and yeah...I'm a woman (producer).
Huffy | June 19, 2012 2:45 PM
I still think that Pulse is the ballsiest, most ambitious horror film since The Shining. Eerie as hell too.
Nic | June 19, 2012 9:25 AM
Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amlric are in "Jimmy Picard", the next Desplechins'movie.
Jimbo | June 19, 2012 3:04 AM
And what about Gilles Mimouni, who made such a magnificent and assured debut film with 'L'Appartement' fifteen years ago and hasn't be heard of since?
Juan | June 18, 2012 8:57 PM
Lucrecia Martel is not a good filmmaker
MAL | June 18, 2012 3:48 PM
I have seen almost all of Kurosawa's films. My favourites are Pulse and Cure but I have been challenged but never disappointed by his work. TIFF (where Cure was my first Kurosawa experience) has been a huge supporter of his films as well, bringing each of his newest films to Toronto when they are available. And about 10 years ago, TIFF had a director's spotlight on him, showcasing many of his films to that date. I certainly look forward to whatever he does next.

Denys Arcand's next film is entitled Deux Nuits/Two Nights. More about here, in French: http://fr.canoe.ca/divertissement/cinema/nouvelles/2012/05/31/19822376-qmi.html

Kudos for pointing out Kiyoshi Kurosawa ... really really amazing director! I'll just add that horror fans may want to check his 2001 TV movie Korei/Seance (or maybe his 1989 release Sweet Home, a bit different from later work but a fun flick!), drama fans (?) may want to check Jellyfish.

Abita Springs, La. - A boil water advisory was issued for the town of Abita Springs Thursday.
"The Town of Abita Springs has experienced problems with the water system," said a new release sent out by the Town Clerk. "Because of these problems, the water produced by our water supply system may be of questionable quality."
The release did not elaborate further on the problem.
As a precaution, residents and businesses are urged to boil water for one full minute in a clean container before consuming it, making ice, brushing teeth, using it for food preparation or rinsing food.
The town is awaiting word from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals that water samples collected from water supply system have shown the water to be safe. It expects to be notified by midday Friday.
