Suns' Dragic credits new team mindset for success
Starting point guard Goran Dragic had one of those 40-point games against the New Orleans Pelicans last Friday night, when he was a game-time decision before tip-off and on the receiving end of "M-V-P" chants during the final seconds of the game. The career night for Dragic was just a small sample of what he has accomplished this season as a whole, averaging over 20 points and 6 assists per game over the course of the season.
The Slovenia native has increased his scoring averages in each of the past four seasons -- all with Phoenix except for a brief stint in Houston during the 2011-12 campaign. Dragic credits the changed mentality of the team for the turnaround from a 25-win season last year.
"I think our main difference this year is that we don't care if we are up 20 or down 16, we just try to be focused every minute and we know what we are capable of doing," Dragic told Burns & Gambo of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "A couple times we were down a lot of points and we came back. I think the team has the character of that even if we are down 20 points, we still believe in ourselves and we can still win those games.
"That game last night was something special because it was against one of the best teams in the NBA."
The Oklahoma City Thunder currently own the top seed in the Western Conference, making them a possible first-round playoff matchup for the Suns if they sneak into the playoffs.
The urgency to make the postseason can be felt in the way the Suns have been playing, putting up an average of 111 points over the past eight home games.
The team has not been relying on a specific scorer throughout the season, but has been reaping the benefits of a consistent and healthy lineup despite Eric Bledsoe's two-month absence. Dragic averages a team-high of 34.7 minutes per contest, but says that the unpredictability of the teams' scorers on a nightly basis is what gives them success.
"We need everybody," Dragic said. "I think we're only going to be a successful team if everybody plays hard. Some nights I'm going to have a good game, some nights it's going to be Gerald, Eric or Channing. That's the beauty of this game, that you don't know who is going to explode that game and drop 40 points."
Teammate Eric Bledsoe is expected to return to the court sometime next week after being sidelined due to surgery he had done on his meniscus. The challenge that the team faces now is incorporating Bledsoe back into the offense he was once playing a major role in. Averaging nearly identical statistics, Dragic says bringing back Bledsoe won't hurt the team's chemistry.
"We already share minutes on the court together," Dragic said. "When he comes back, I think we're going to be a lot more dangerous and put less pressure on Gerald and me. Of course, to have two ball handlers on the court at the same time will be much tougher for our opponents.
"We already know what Eric is capable of. I don't think we are going to have problems with that."

Dear Pres. @BarackObama, why is your senior-advisor David Plouffe signaling a SELL-OUT for the sake of some "Grand Bargain"? #WeAreConcerned—
Obama Guy: E.J. (@theosmelek) November 27, 2012
We're all familiar with the Obama administration's "I won" approach to compromise, but White House senior advisor David Plouffe today earned the scorn of liberals when video of him naming Medicare and Medicaid as the chief drivers of the deficit made the rounds. MSNBC's Ed Schultz was among those trying to reel Plouffe back from the edge of reality.
Those aren't the talking points the Left wanted to hear. Time for a trip to reeducation camp?
Please @TheDemocrats @SenateDems GET David Plouffe new TALKING points on #FiscalCliff he's got ppl worked up abt GRAND BARGAIN Deal #EdShow—
Cyn Hussein Obama (@Wary12) November 27, 2012
#edshow Heh. David Plouffe…snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hey, David? WE WON – start acting like it. #GroverIsOver—
Kate Yes We Did!! (@LeftsideAnnie) November 27, 2012
David Plouffe needs some testosterone pills. Lousy Negotiator. #FiscalCliff has nothing to do with medicare, Soc. Security or Obamacare.—

Testosterone pills? Are those covered?
@davidaxelrod WILL YOU TELL YOUR BUD D. PLOUFFE TO STICK WITH ORGANIZING ELECTION . NEGOTIATION IS NOT HIS CUP OF TEA .—
Phil valentin (@phil_V123) November 27, 2012
Plouffe's comments today are BS and a reason for concern. You don't start negotiate from the middle, especially with these terrorist.—

Tweeps send the @whitehouse a STRONG MESSAGE! You want our support? Support us! DON'T BACK DOWN!! Tell David Plouffe to sit down!—

David Plouffe out tonight caving on Social Security?? After all we did? Are you kidding me? @BarackObama @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems—
(@McBlondeLand) November 27, 2012
Though he's only now being taken to task, Plouffe made the remarks Nov. 14 at an appearance at the University of Delaware.
For months we've been told the debt is due to wars and tax cuts but then out of the blue David Plouffe tells the real, actual truth. Why?—
Kevin Eder (@keder) November 27, 2012
@keder My guess? Plouffe said that because they will argue Obamacare "saves money" for those programs and thus can't be touched.—

This robe is beautiful, well made, luxury.... Thank goodness I am losing weight, however. I am currently a size 16/18 female and although it does wrap around me it really doesn't have adequate girth so that it stays closed, especially at the hips and the hem. So buyer beware, L/XL does not translate to ladies XL. I would estimate it is more like a ladies M/L

Delivery was very fast as always with Overstock. The robe itself is quite beautiful and of very good quality. I have stayed in many luxury hotels who had robes exactly like this one and it is difficult to see any difference in the quality. I ordered a L/XL and it is a nice, slightly oversized fit (probably good for women sized 10-16), just above the ankles with slightly long sleeves that can be rolled. Very soft inside and out, cream color that has a tan/yellow hue which is a nice contrast with the white interior. Very glad that I ordered this one instead of the one I saw on another website for $95!

I love this bathrobe. It's exactly what I wanted. Is the quality superb? No but it's a perfect light weight, unlined, nicely finished summer bathrobe. It is very roomy. The reviews said it would shrink so I bought the lg/xlg. I did wash it and it did shrink. I am 5'4'' 135lbs and after the dryer it is still long and roomy but it is the perfect summer bathrobe.

I am hoping after a wash or two, the robe will soften up. was hoping for a "soft feel" which it does not have when first opening the package. Other than that, the robe meets expectations

Robes are great! Less expensive than most and very absorbent. The only problem we had was one of the belts was not finished properly and was shredding. Overstock's excellent customer support replaced the belt quickly.

I don't buy a robe very often. I've been looking around for awhile and not at all intrigued by what I've seen. Took a chance on this one and so glad I did! I love how BIG it is. Hangs just above the ankles and plenty of room throughout. Nice long sleeves. Gets softer after you wash it! Great value also.

I have had other "terry" robes that were far better for same cost. Robe has terry ties inside...they are thick and very bulky. The terry continues to shed on even after a few washes. Plus it should be longer. I'm only 5'3" and it's a bit too short. It will serve my needs but I am disappointed.

Dear Friend,
In April of 2012 my wife and I (Laura and RJ Allen) opened a Heating and Air Conditioning company named All American Air. We wanted to keep a name that was familiar to the community and that was important to us. You see, for over 20 years my parents owned and operated ARAC Inc. dba. American Air Heating Refrigeration. Unfortunately the demands of the HVAC-R trade has taken a toll on my Dad and Mom's health which lead to some unknown expenses in their life. In March of 2012 they choose retirement, filed for bankruptcy protection and closed their doors.
Let me back up for a minute
In February of 2007 Laura and I moved to Orange County. I was fortunate enough to earn a position working for a company that had won numerous Contractor of the Year awards and was voted best Heating and Air Conditioning company to work for in the Nation (Service Champions).
In May of 2009 my wife and I gave birth to our first child (Hannah Akira-Sue Allen). It became increasingly more difficult living 3 hours away from family. So in June of 2010 we came home. I took a job as a consultant while studying to get my contractors license. Once the license was in my hand and we were ready to begin the process of starting our company. We began buying a phone number and a website.
Joy and Sadness
As we were preparing for our future my parents health and their company struggled. We were all pretty devastated when the apparent choice was for them to file bankruptcy. The company I grew up in and loved…was gone.
Then, a colleague of mine made a suggestion, why don't I buy the company. I said "NO WAY" I want my company to be a fresh start. They turned to me and said you don't have to buy the company but you can buy their assets. We got an attorney and contacted the bankruptcy court. We petitioned the bankruptcy judge to sell us the phone number, web site, some office equipment, some of the trucks/vans, and the maintenance agreement client list.
New identity needed
Since my parents owned American Air, when we first began we attempted to start out as All American Air and when folks call 661-588-1776 expecting American Air but now you get "Thank you for calling All American Air" most people don't understand that you are a new company. Unfortunately, even with long discussions many folks still don't quite understand that American Air is gone but now All American Air owns the phone number. Many people think I took over the company from ma and pa or that I bought the company. I did NOT buy the company or take it over from the family. Our company is a brand new entity and has absolutely nothing to do with my parents or their company. Since there is just too much confusion over the name we have changed it: American Dream Services Heating and Cooling.
Providing the Service of your Dreams
It has long been the American Dream to either own your home or business. (The house with the white picket fence, the two cars in the drive way, or whatever you have in your own vision.) My wife and I started American Dream Services with a focus on providing the best possible service our clients have ever had at their home, office, or restaurant by ANY service provider. Service beyond your wildest dreams!
Designing the logo to match our beliefs
The logo took over 26 sketch artists working on this for us. When it was all said in done this is what it means to us:
We believe the shield represents the protection of our countries values and the protection that we give our clients homes or businesses by staying knowledgeable and up to date on current technology for an industry that deals with those hot Bakersfield summers, natural gas, high voltage electricity, water, mold, carbon monoxide, bacteria, allergies, asthma, flames/fires, and refrigerant. The ribbon states when we were established and what we believe you will come to find as award winning customer service.
You or someone you know
We are looking to provide services to those with an American Dream. If you are a homeowner or a business owner we are here to serve your dreams in the way of Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration, and Indoor Air Quality/Filtration.
We will make you proud to refer us to your friends and neighbors.
Late addition
Oh and by the way 8 months after the start of our company we obtained something very special, our second baby girl (Chloe Elizabeth-Grace Allen).
Thank you to all of those who have shared in our prayers, tears, and efforts

3.7/5 rDev -12.1%
Dark brown color with a hint of red blush to it, minimal head. Aroma is abundant with caramel malt sweetness, some green apple and a bit of melon. Despite all the sweetness in the nose, the tongue is overwhelmed with spice and a little astringency. Some tart and sour fruit flavors on the finish. Dry mouthfeel and effervescent carbonation. Fairly drinkable considering the ABV, doesn't feel as heavy as it is.
Taste was a little underwhelming considering the smell. Not bad, but I'm not all that interested in seeking it out again.

Man I relly like this "big" beer,pours a deep amber with a nice thick off-white creamy head,nice sweet almond/caramel smell with slight alcohol notes.A malty,nutty tasting beer with some fruity hints in the finish ( a long finish at that).Very warming something to drink before bed.

4.51/5 rDev +7.1%
Appearance: Dark amber with a small bit of haze. About 1 finger of head; didn't retain as long as I was expecting form some of the other reviews here.
Smell: It's got a complex smell to it. Definitely pick up some cloves here. Banana, too, but none of the parts overwhelm the whole.
Taste: Definitely get the molasses/cloves/raisin notes through this. Don't taste the alcohol at all. Really yummy taste.
Mouthfeel: Pretty soft in the mouth. Not too viscious, not watered-down. Definitely very good overall feel.
Overall: Very impressed, just like I've been with much of Unibroue's line.

4.47/5 rDev +6.2%
Appearance: Cloudy amber/dark orange. Huge frothy head. Plenty of active carbonation. A very lively pour even though the head doesn't hold up forever.
Smell: Big and malty. Plenty of spice in the nose. Hints of some fruit and underlying sweetness. There are earthy qualities as well.
Taste: Dark and rich maltiness. Complex fruit & spice flavours are present throughout. Noticeable hints of clove and maybe a pinch of cinamon. Dark fruitiness with sweet hints of caramel. Some woody notes as well. Great body and pleasant balance. A dry, earthy finish with some tartness and a warm alcohol kick.
Mouthfeel: Lively and fresh. Plenty of carbonation and sparkling qualities. Smooth out towards the end.
Drinkability: A great, full beer. I could drink this almost anytime, unless the weather is too hot. This is one of my personal favorites. One of Unibroue's absolute best.

Holy cow, this beer tastes like heaven. It's so complex that I think any attempt to apply qualitative descriptors would be in vain. Words cannot describe how delicous this beer is. Everything about Maudite is very well balanced, from the alcohol and hops to the spices and fruit. This is the best I've ever tasted in the style. Rock and roll, Unibroue.

4.38/5 rDev +4%
Appearance This pours a beautiful, thick cloudy brown. The head was full and left some lacing.
Smell Big malt and spicy yeast aromas fill the nose. This is a terrific smelling brew, full of caramel and fruit scents.
Taste - The first hint of hops is quickly replaced by huge malt and caramel flavors. The body is very deep, mature, raw, and spicy, with a complex fruity boldness of predominantly banana and clove-spiked apple. Theres also a presence of alcohol and many other flavors that I cant pinpoint.
Mouthfeel Lively carbonation slowed this one down a bit. I thought it was a little too much for the style. But, its a full-bodied ale that you can sip, suck, chew, or pack in between your cheeks and gum like a wad of tobacco.
Drinkability This went down smooth as silk.
Comments This is my idea of a BSDA. I chose this for my 100th beer review to commemorate the occasion.
Update Well, I had this for my 100th review and now, here I am, over a year later, with 1,220 reviews. I thought Id give this one another full tasting and see how my opinion of it withstands the test of time.
I didnt see a need to elaborate on the Appearance: its perfect. The aroma and taste are damn near perfect. I didnt get any hops this time around but thought the huge butter flavor was just a bit much. Keep in mind that Im trying to differentiate here between a 4.5 and a perfect 5.0.
The style allows for high carbonation. Having said that, I thought this was just a bit too much. Ill say now that it is not quite full-bodied, although the beautiful and full flavors probably demand it to be so. All in all this is one of my favorite BSDAs. I stand by my overall 4.5 rating that I gave this back in August 2003.

One of my very favorite non-Belgian Belgians. Murked copper caked in rich vanilla foam and chocolate sprinkles. Super spicy nose. Extremely complicated and well candied. Loaded with lemon, pepper, alcohol, toast, mint, chocolate, and plum candies. Tastes yeasty with very Belgianish malts. Carbonation is off the spectrum making this one loads of fun to drink. Acidic yet fluffy. Thats an accomplishment. Finish is yeasty, drying, and peppery.

Malty, smooth, fruits, 8% abv, dangerous (can't taste the alcohol), goes down so easy, no bitters, sweet, nectar of the gods, amazing.
Of the Unibroue beers I've tried (Don De Dieu and La Fin Du Monde) this is my favorite. I still need to try Trois Pistoles. I'm a big fan of Belgian style beers and I would have to put this on my recommendation list.

3.83/5 rDev -9%
Pours a dark brown and slightly copper-embossed color; murky and borderline swampy with a low-profile, khaki-beige head that settles to a ring fairly quickly. Looks like your typical BSDA, perhaps a little less lively than most but the color and body seems to be pretty much on par.
It reminds me of a dubbel on the nose - but then again, what's really the difference between a dubbel and a BSDA? Lots of Candi sugar with a little sprinkle of brown sugar as well. Dark fruits; plums, grapes, and maybe just a tiny bit of figs. Thick, Belgian yeast is apparent with it's seemingly spiced aroma and little hints of clove and rotten banana.
The yeast is the first thing that my palate pick up on when taking a sip. Bubblegum-like with a dash of clove and some other spice that tastes like something you'd sprinkle on a holiday pie. Candied fruits; mildly sweet and sugary with lots of carbonation that hits the tongue and all sides of the mouth immediately. Plums and raisins that have been soaked in a vat of tamed booze and rolled around in brown sugar. Though I may be overstating the sweetness just a bit, the flavors are there.
Hops are very faint but show a grassy character in the finish leaving your mouth with a hint of bitterness. Fusel alcohol character pops out - something that's not usually expected for a brew that's only 8% ABV, but Belgian strong ales often have a higher alcohol presence on the palate. The yeast goes from the clove-bubblegum style to a harsh dryness in the finish that almost adds a woody and slightly funky taste. Maybe not your typical "barnyard" flavors, but there's definitely some kind of funk in the finish. Medium bodied, creamy, with a good snap and crisp, dry finish with lots of carbonation.
Definitely a good BSDA, reminds me quite a bit of a dubbel, not sure what exactly sets this apart and perhaps I'll never know. Might be slightly overrated, but this is still pretty drinkable, although there are definitely a handful of readily available competitors I'd probably choose over this one.

Served in a Maudite snifter, this beer pours with 3 fingers of pillowy head that crest over the top of the glass. It holds together well leaving tons of fine lacing. The body is a dark auburn color, slightly hazy. There's a gentle fragrance that is clove-y and yeasty, with a farm-fresh quality that intensifies as it warms and is swirled. Almost minty.
There's a lot to like out of the first sip; abundant caramel and specialty malt flavor balanced well with the Belgian yeast, and a light, wet, yet highly carbonated almost soda-like mouthfeel that seems to provide exceptional drinkability. Finishes spicy but still not dry. This beer provides a jolt to all senses.
If I could change anything, it might be sacrificing some drinkability for more depth in the body. If I'm paying $2.50 a bottle I'm probably not going to be pounding these all night, so it could sit a little heavier. Still, that's a minor complaint. Very nice, and now I'm even more proud of my Maudite snifter.

3.85/5 rDev -8.6%
A: The beer pours a kind of murky brown color with amber hues when held up to the light and a nice thick foamy head with great retention and lacing. Overall, the appearance is probably the weakest aspect of this beer. It simply looks a little too cloudy with the lees yet to be poured in.
S: The aroma of this beer is quite appealing. The Unibroue website notes that the nose is filled with malt, orange and spices and this is right on. In my opinion, the orange is the dominant characteristic with some spices, malt sweetness, and a hint of alcohol following closely after.
T: The taste of this beer resembles the nose: Orange, malts, and a spicy crispness at the finish. In addition, there is the unmistakable Belgian Yeast like qualities with Belgian candied sugar as well as mild raisin qualities. Quite pleasant but not necessarily anything that will blow you away.
M: Very light mouthfeel. This is a very easy beer to drink especially considering the high alcohol content. Definitely a lot of carbonation which is on par with other Belgian style beers.
O: This was my second time having this beer. Upon my first tasting I found it outstanding but after trying other Belgian Dark Ales, namely the Delirium Nocturnum, this beer is merely just a good beer. It is definitely a great introduction to the style, and I would highly suggest pairing it alongside Unibroue's Trois Pistoles in order to fully experience the range of flavors present in the style.

Maudite with 8% alcohol, very aggressive name for a hell of a beer.
A- Angry look for a dark barely able to see through ale. Dark and tainted brown-blackish liquid with nice head that falls to a ring around the glass with nice lacing. Very nice.
S- Smell is of sweet raisins and candy sugar up front. Followed by pruny dark fruity blossom of scents.
T- First is the yeasty alcohol kick with a more refined fruityness of plum and sugar. Very complex flavor is nice to think about when sipping. Big bold taste of a Belgian dark.
M-D- Leaves a malty feel on the mouth with a dry kick as well when finishes. Drinkable but not as most from Unibroue.

A - Huge just off-white head with LOTS of carbonation. Looking through the beer is like looking at carbonated wildflower honey, dark gold, slightly hazy, and makes me want a taste!
S - Very spicy aroma with banana like esters.
T - The smell translates to the taste, spicy, lots of esters, with a definite Belgian "twang". Ends with some sweet caramel malts and alcohol.
M - Finishes pretty dry, but I think this may have more to do with the alcohol warmth and extreme carbonation. I like it but I can see how it could be distracting.
D - The crisp and light finish make this a drinkable beer. 750 ml is not a chore, but would not want anymore.

A: a murky dark apple cider color in a unibroue tulip (split with hu5om). gorgeous lacing.
S: wheaty and yeasty, similar to a hefe in my mind.
T: awesome. fizz of smooth fruity hops with wheat overtones that gently slide across the palate. light fruits (peach?). sweet floral malts round out the taste.
MF/D: light bubbles across the tongue, easy slide down the throat. a superb belgian ale with absolutely no heat for 8% alcohol.

Pours a cherry-tinged apple cider color. Fizzy head recedes to nothing and leaves no lace. Smell's a touch weak, but in general like every other Belgian I've tried: Sweet malt. Tastes of roasted bananas and pepper (as well as other spices), and also some bready malt. Mouthfeel's a bit fizzy at first, and also a bit thin, but both of those improve as the beer warms.
Overall, this is a good Belgian, although compared with La Fin Du Monde and Trios Pistoles (the latter I didn't review when I drank it-good though!), it's a bit weak. Nevertheless, this one hit the spot on this cold, blustery winter night.

12oz bottle. Best by 10-12-08. Pours into my glass a somewhat hazy orange/amber/brown hue with a big, creamy two inch eggshell head on top and tons of active carbonation. So far so good. Aromas of crisp wheat grain malts with a touch of caramel. Big spicy aromas swirl about with some mixed fruity aspects lurking in there as well.
First sip brings a crisp wheat malt upfront with a hint of caramel sweetness. This moves into a sturdy spicy flavor profile with hints of clove and earthy yeast accents. Fruity, citrusy flavors move in and out along the way down. Finishes with a touch of bitterness and a spicy, yeasty afterthought. Tasty brew.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and highly effervescent. It races across the palate with a fast moving tingle. Overall, an enjoyable brew with that trademark Unibroue yeast flavor. Damn drinkable and priced right for when I want a tasty Belgian style brew. One of my faves from Unibroue.

Next Game
Colorado St. Rams
@ New Mexico Lobos
Saturday, Nov 16, 2013, 7:00 PM EST
University Stadium
TV: Root Sports/MWN
New Mexico found its ways back in the win column last week in a ground attack shootout against Air Force last Friday night, but do not look for the Lobos to get a second straight win against Colorado State Saturday afternoon. The Lobos are at home but the Rams are a six-point road favorite and playing very good football the past few weeks by winning three of their last four games.
Colorado State has an edge in nearly ever position, and at worst New Mexico matches up with similar talent. All eyes on this game will be at the running back spots with Kapri Bibbs and Kasey Carrier. These two backs lead the Mountain West in rushing. Bibbs has almost come out of nowhere this season and had to spend some time at junior college before enrolling at Colorado State, and the wait has been worth it.
Bibbs leads the nation's running backs with 19 rushing touchdowns, and has come on strong over the last six games which include 16 of his 19 touchdowns and four games rushing over 100 yards, including one over 200 and 300 yards. There could be another big game for Bibbs against this Lobos defense which allows 253 yards per game on the ground, and mix that in with a decent passing game and Bibbs could also break off some big runs.
Carrier is no slouch either with plenty of big games himself, including a 291 and 192 yard game so far this season. However, some defense have completely stopped Carrier in the rushing game. Some opposing teams have figured out that if they can stop any dive, or up the middle, play and force New Mexico to run mostly outside running plays then their running game becomes inept. Colorado State has a few good linebackers in Shaquil Barrett and Cory James to help stop the running attack, and within the Mountain West the Rams are third in rushing defense.
Another edge that Colorado State has is in the throwing game with Garrett Grayson, and for those who dislike Grayson he is doing a fairly good job of getting the ball to the wide receivers. New Mexico on the other hand has Cole Gautsche who is exceptional at running the option-based pistol offense for the Lobos, but if asked to pass he struggles in that area.
This game will come down to whichever teams opposing defense can limit the running game, and if that happens to both teams edge the edge then goes to Colorado State since they can actually throw the ball.

Donations earmarked to help an employee's sick daughter were stolen from the counter at an AM/PM gas station in Mesa, but the thief was caught on camera.
Jean Levine says her daughter is sick and has to use a wheelchair to get around but her daughter's home does not have a wheelchair ramp.
"I want her to have help and if I have to get another job to help her and give her what she needs, I will do it," Levine said.
Levine and her co-workers set up a donation jar at the front counter. They don't know how much money had been raised because before they could count it, a man swiped it from the counter and drove away.
Video from security cameras shows a man walk into the Mesa convenience store and hide a jar full of donations in his clothing. The store doesn't know how much money was in the jar and the thief still paid the clerk for gas.
"It's wrong," Levine said. "The [donors] are trying to help."
Levine fears the same thief could strike again. She says he not only robbed the store of donations for her family but he also stole hope.
"She's my daughter, she's my only child I have," Levine said. "I don't want to see [theft] happen, I don't."
If you recognize the man in the video or pictures above, contact Mesa police.

You Are the Answer Lady: August 2012
I sent my nephew and his wife a wedding gift and never got a thank-you for it. Should I say something?
Teresa Stankoff: Is it worth creating family friction? If you want to make sure they got it, I would ask, "How are you enjoying the gift?"
Herminia D. Hernandez: Maybe they're still settling into married life and haven't had the chance to send thank-yous yet. Did you send the gift out of the goodness of your heart, or did you send it to get a thank-you?
Tara White Robinet: I would send a note to make sure they got the gift and tell them you hope they're doing well. It is common courtesy to send a thank-you, but cut them some slack this time. Maybe they're really behind or dealing with other issues.
Denita Leonard: I would say something. Not based on the fact that I didn't receive a thank-you for it, but because I would want to make sure they received it.
My sister-in-law is notorious for being difficult and demanding to waiters. I'd rather not go out with her but sometimes it's unavoidable. Should I say something? Or just give the poor waiter a bigger tip?
Tricia Barret Campbell: I would definitely give him a larger tip and I'd make sure I was extra pleasant to offset your sister-in-law's demanding behavior.
Pati Goodwin: Say something. She needs to know her behavior is completely unacceptable. She may have gotten more in her food than she knows.
Lisa Desjardins Boucher: If she's being difficult, excuse yourself, find the waiter, and explain the situation -- tipping him in advance wouldn't hurt either. That way he'll hopefully keep his frustration under control and you won't end up with something extra in your soup.
Chris Mandrell Wheeler: Tell her about how your "friend" treated a waiter badly and made you miserable, and thank her for not being like that. Believe it or not, this does work!
Suzy Ryan-Barber: Speak up. Be lighthearted about it and say something like, "Wow, I hope he ate his Wheaties this morning" or "Boy, after that you had better give him a great tip."
My 17-year-old daughter and her boyfriend are very PDA-heavy in front of the whole family. How do I tell them to tone it down without embarrassing them?
Robin Klopp: If they're that PDA-heavy, how could you embarrass them? Be straight and don't beat around the bush. Say, "Cool the PDA in front of the family!" Tell them there's a time and place for everything.
Mary Ellen Stone: One sure way to get them to stop would be for you and your husband to mirror their displays of affection in front of them. Then just repeat as necessary.
Angie Ihrig: Talk to your daughter privately. She's almost an adult and needs to know how her behavior makes her appear. Approach her with love and support, not judgment. Maybe you can get to the root of why she thinks she needs to go there. Good luck from a mom with two older daughters!

Two bystanders were shot by New York police officers who were trying to subdue what NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called "an emotionally disturbed man."
Just before 10 p.m. on Saturday night, officers noticed a man on foot weaving in and out of traffic near the Port Authority Bus Terminal. They attempted to surround him.
"This individual was blocking traffic and appeared to be attempting to be hit by cars when a police officer on foot patrol attempted to take him into custody in the intersection," Com. Kelly said.
At that time, according to a witness who spoke to The Daily News, the unidentified man started "pretending that he had a gun" and "aimed it at the cops."
The cops fired three shots, none of which hit the suspect. However, an unidentified 54-year-old woman in a walker was struck in the right leg, and a 35-year-old woman was grazed in the buttocks.

CARY — When Marisa Smith gets home from school, where she struggles to form relationships with classmates, she has five furry friends waiting for her. She feeds, snuggles and mimics the sounds of her pet Chihuahuas.
Fifteen-year-old Marisa, diagnosed with autism two years ago, also cares for three sugar gliders, tiny marsupials she carries around her family's Cary home.
Her pets are her solace – a break from stressful days at school at West Lake Middle in Apex.
"Dealing with people is hard," Marisa said. "They're not exactly as understanding as animals."
Now Marisa and her parents, John and Laurie Smith, hope to add one more pet to the family: a service dog that could go to school with Marisa, soothe her in times of discomfort and help keep her safe if she wanders away.
The family was in the process of trying to raise $13,000 for an autism service dog through 4 Paws For Ability when they got a phone call from the Ohio-based group. A dog was available, and the $6,000 they had raised so far would cover the cost.
The Smiths are trying to raise an additional $2,000 to cover travel and hotel expenses so Marisa and her mother can spend two weeks in Ohio in December to train with the dog. They set up an account on gofundme.com, a website that allows people to donate money to projects and causes.
The group matches about 100 dogs a year with children with disabilities, said Whitney Hitt, media relations director for 4 Paws For Ability.
For kids with autism, service dogs can interrupt negative behaviors and shorten a "meltdown," Hitt said.
"Some dogs would shy away from a child having a meltdown," she said. "Our dogs are trained to go toward them."
The 4 Paws dogs often begin training at a young age and are socialized with the help of college students in Ohio, Hitt said. Then they undergo basic obedience training by prison inmates before they begin more serious sessions at the group's training facility.
It costs about $22,000 to raise and train a service dog, Hitt said. The group asks families to raise the money.
The Smiths were in the midst of an online fundraising campaign when they found out a dog was available.
For the Smith family, a service dog could be life-changing. Marisa's parents always worry about her safety. She once wandered away from her school campus.
"That will give her a little more independence, and us a little more 'us' time, which we haven't had, ever," said John Smith, 51.
Marisa was born with Chiari malformation, a condition in which brain tissue extends into the spinal cord. She has had two brain surgeries, numerous hospital stays and annual rounds of tests.
While developmental delays were apparent early, Marisa was not diagnosed with autism until she was 13, said Laurie Smith, 46.
Now the teen, who is in eighth grade, functions academically at an elementary school level, according to her mother.
"Middle school is hard enough for a typical child," Laurie Smith said. "She doesn't know how to make a friend or keep a friend. That's all she really wants, but she doesn't know how to do it."
The Smiths don't know yet what kind of service dog Marisa will get, but it's sure to be a friend – a companion at school and at home, where one of her favorite pastimes is drawing pictures of animals.
In school recently, Marisa wrote a journal entry: "People are fools," she wrote. "How could they ever know what it's like to be different. To feel lost and alone, with no one there but yourself."
But soon, she'll have a new dog to keep her company.

PEORIA, Ill. -- There are plans for the Peoria Rivermen to continue playing in the river city next season, but not in the American Hockey League.
Former Rivermen owner Bruce Saurs says he will finance the team (most likely under a Southern Professional Hockey League franchise) to keep the Rivermen playing in Peoria.
After the Vancouver Canucks notified the Peoria Civic Center they will not operate their AHL team in Peoria next season, former Rivermen owner Bruce Saurs announced a plan to keep the Peoria hockey team on ice.
"They've already designed the new jerseys, and they've got 'Peoria Rivermen' right on them," Saurs says. "So we're going to play next year."
Saurs, along with former Rivermen executives Bart Rogers and John Butler, wants to run the team locally.
Rogers and Butler also own the Bloomington Blaze hockey team, and if the Blaze switch over to the same league planned for the Rivermen, Saurs says,"We'll have a great rivalry between Bloomington and Peoria. It's right close together, and even thought they own both, it will be separate run, separate general managers, separate coaches, and a separate whole staff."
Peoria Civic Center General Manger Jim Wetherington agrees both cities could strongly benefit from the local ownership.
"You can build on the 'War on 74," Wetherington points out. "I think they'll have six or seven home games against each other, so that will be great to have that, and you can go there and see the games as well, too."
When the Rivermen were not owned locally, Wetherington says there were few attempts made in getting the players and fans to know one another.
If Saurs and his team take over, there are plans to get the Rivermen out in community events in an attempt to make the fan-base grow.
"So that's going to be a plus," Wetherington says. "The ticket prices are going to be less, so that's going to be a plus. It's going to be a little different mindset of hockey. It's going to be a little more fun."
Aside from new jerseys, Saurs says office supplies have already been purchased to make a new home for the hockey team.
Some of the current players may even make the return, and since the name was never trademarked, the title of Peoria Rivermen would stay as well.

Joe Lacob and Peter Guber's letter. Appreciate how quick this came given the current situation of the organization. Renewing for my 8th year. Will continue to renew until we finally win one. That's my commitment.
One wonders whether Joe Lacob appreciated the irony of his situation while he was being vilified by the mob at Oracle as the man who germinated the root of the current Warrior muddle was being...
At the All-Star break we grade the performance of the Golden State Warriors front office and head coach Mark Jackson.
"By the one-year mark of our ownership on November 12, I think you will see a virtually entirely new organization. It takes time to evaluate and then find replacements of the highest quality."-- Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob in an email to Tim Kawakami (see Warriors update: Lacob's overhaul continues–now it's the business side)
Dear Nene, please decide to come here like Lee did even though we don't have the money so we can do a sign and trade for you involving Biedrins? Pretty please?
Warriors owner Joe Lacob reveals strategy: build around Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis. Poll: do you agree?
Excellent interview by Tim Kawakami!
In Lacob we trust!
Look at us
It's nice to see the Warriors won't be making any knee-jerk moves because of the local media vitriol and revisionist history inexplicably and nonsensically aimed at Don Nelson. I personally can't wait till the Warriors ship out Mr. 16% from the Charity Stripe, Moped Ellis, and Robert Rowell, so that they can give this legendary innovator a real squad for his final season. Andris Biedrins and Monta Ellis were nobodies before Nellie came back to town in the summer of 2006. I'd like to see what kind of numbers Monta would put up in a non-Nellieball offense. I'd also like to see how many coaches out there would put up with Biedrins' lack of desire and commitment to improve his game. Again, where are all those people who couldn't wait to destroy WE BELIEVE to build around a mythically bright future of Ellis and Biedrins? I can't hear you...

Music Review: Sarasota Opera 2009-2010 season
Date: May 14, 2009
by: June LeBell
The Sarasota Opera has announced its plans for the company's 51st season, and it looks like it's pulling out all the stops.
Actually, because of the weak economy, especially where the arts are concerned, the company has decided to cut back the upcoming season by one week. We're told that will save money without cutting back on quality. And, this summer, the renovated house's missed side aisles will be restored, which means more comfort and access when the season begins in the fall.
But music is what makes the opera season, and Artistic Director Victor DeRenzi, in his monumental effort to offer every Verdi work, will continue the cycle with a rare staging of "Giovanna d'Arco" as part of the Masterworks Revival Series.
Verdi's seventh opera, "Joan of Arc," is reported to have had a mediocre staging at its premiere at La Scala in 1845, but it was a hit with audiences of the time. The subject lends itself to passion and drama, and the sweeping music, which includes large-scale choruses and impassioned arias, can, for those who want to brush up on the subject, be heard on recording with Caballe, Domingo, Milnes and the London Symphony Orchestra under James Levine.
A more familiar Verdian work — "La Traviata" — will turn up in the Sarasota Opera's fall season with the Sarasota Orchestra in the pit under the direction of Maestro DeRenzi.
And the winter season, which begins in February, will, along with "Giovanna d'Arco," include 10 performances each of "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci" (aka "Cav & Pag") and Mozart's mystical "Magic Flute," along with six family-friendly presentations — in English — of "Hansel and Gretel," with English surtitles.
There are also artists concerts, outreach programs, the wonderful youth opera and a variety of other exciting events planned. For more information, visit

Applications simplify, automate and standardize collaboration, to enable smarter planning and more efficient execution of high impact shopper centric merchandising plans.
DEERFIELD, III., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Market6®, a leading provider of web-based retail analytic applications, today announced the introduction of Market6 Vantage™.
Market6 Vantage is a suite of retail analytic applications that automate and simplify joint business planning and retailer/supplier collaboration. With Vantage retailers and their suppliers can streamline collaboration efforts to build and execute more effective and profitable shopper centric merchandising plans.
"Strategic planning and execution with suppliers allows retailers to better serve their target shopper and drive increased sales and gross profits," said Jim Kelly, CEO of Market6. "Until now the strategic joint planning and execution process has been too resource and time intensive to implement widely. Vantage automates the preparation and on-going maintenance of joint plans, simplifies the collaboration process, and gives trading partners a single view of the actions against a plan to drive improved results."
From Negotiate to Collaborate: Changing the Retail/Supplier Relationship
With built-in demand driven forecasts, simulation models, and expected/actual analysis, Market6 Vantage gives retailers and suppliers smarter, forward looking insights to drive more accurate planning and execution. Market6 Vantage provides retailers and suppliers a single, fact-based view of the business based on a common platform of integrated merchandising, shopper, market and operational data, and establishes a set of analytic-enriched measures and assessments as the basis for ongoing collaboration. Vantage's modules for historical analysis, future planning and execution tracking let users connect planning to execution, identify data-driven performance insights in real-time, and spot opportunities to fix problems in time to improve business outcomes.
As grocery capacity continues to grow faster than per capita demand, and non-traditional and online competitors further encroach on traditional grocer's market share, the role of collaboration in helping retailers differentiate their brand for shoppers is growing. "Consumers today expect not only a flawless shopping experience, complete with the perfect assortment of products, helpful friendly store personnel, and a convenient comfortable store atmosphere, but also prices that match their expectations of value," said Kelly. "The only way retailers and suppliers can meet that increasingly high expectation is to work closely together to deepen their understanding of shoppers and deliver targeted merchandising programs that are more efficient and effective than in the past."
Market6 Vantage is generally available today. To learn more about how retailers and suppliers can transform their relationship "From Negotiate to Collaborate," register for an interactive webinar with Market6 on Thursday July at 10th at 2:00 p.m. ET. Register here.

Young Entrepreneurs: Steps by Stephens
- Written by Carlee McCullough
From bow ties to tennis shoes, young entrepreneurs are making their mark on the world. Fueled by creativity, desire and ambition, these young folks are not only inspiring, they are showing us how it should be done. Thabiti Stephens is a case study. At 20, Stephens, owner of Steps by Stephens, is one of the youngest business owners in the athletic shoe industry.
Carlee McCullough: Tell us about yourself.
Thabiti Stephens: My name is Thabiti Stephens and I am from Atlanta, Ga. I am a Business Marketing major and a rising junior at Morehouse College. I am the founder and CEO of Steps by Stephens.
CM: What motivated you to get into the athletic shoe industry?
TS: About a week after I graduated from high school, I realized and felt that I spent too much of my money on shoes. So I decided that I was going to start a shoe company. This way I would eventually save money and still satisfy my craving for shoes.
CM: How did you enter the industry?
TS: Once I decided that I wanted to start a shoe company I started doing all the research needed to begin the process. I wrote a business plan and reviewed it multiple times. I reviewed hundreds of manufacturers and maintained frequent contact with them. It was hard finding one that was willing to work with a company that wasn't established and couldn't meet their order sizes. I started thinking of ideas for shoes, packaging, marketing and materials. It took 1 1/2 years of groundwork before Steps by Stephens was officially registered with the state.
CM: Tell us about Steps by Stephens?
TS: Steps by Stephens is a shoe company based in Atlanta. We provide shoes for both men and women. We produce a high quality casual shoe made from canvas and leather.
CM: I understand that your company is unique in that a portion of sales go to charity. Can you explain how that works?
TS: Yes for every pair of shoes that we sell we provide meals to children in need. We provide the equivalent of three meals of non-perishable goods to children who usually wouldn't receive their daily meals. We are able to do this through our collaborations with Communities in Schools.
CM: Where did your philanthropic nature come from?
TS: I think growing up in a part of Atlanta were I could see the dramatic differences in social classes had an impact. I had friends that had Bentleys and lived in mansions. Then I had friends whose families never had a car. I saw that people who are in bad situations at a young age tend to grow up but still live in the same situation as their parents. Also in class I always saw figures such as the Rockefellers and the Carnegies always gave back to the community. I have since wanted to do the same. They say great people do great things. If I want to be great, then giving back is a good start.
CM: As a full time student, how do you balance school and the demands of the business?
TS: It is tough at times maintaining over a 3.0 GPA. I feel that I still have a good school and social life while still accomplishing business. I pride myself on making the most of my days. My vice president, Malcolm Conner, who is also my college roommate, helps me manage, handle and run the day-to-day business operations.
My school schedule requires I wake up at 7:30 for my 8 a.m. class. Seeing that my classes last an hour, I sometimes have hour gaps between classes. During these gaps I return all calls, send emails, fax and take care of anything that I need to handle during market hours. Everything that doesn't get done during this time I complete after class at 3. Once I handle all my business then I proceed to my homework and dinner. I try to be in bed by 11:30.
CM: What's the next step for you? What's next for your company?
TS: The next step for me is school in the fall. Hopefully I can make some youth entrepreneur list, which has always been a goal of mine. For Steps By Stephens, we will be releasing a red shoe in the fall and two more colors before the spring.
CM: Any closing remarks?
TS: Steps by Stephens products are available for sale at www.stepsbystephens.com.
is kept. Photo to art portraits are increasingly more preferred these days

Your blog provided us useful information to work on. You have done a marvellos job!
contains tons of useful information, thanks
for providing these kinds of statistics.
to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them
are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome
to inform the truth then again I will surely come back again.
Sorting through hundreds and thousands of shoes will be a lot of hard work if
you are considering the perfect pair of women's high heel sandals.
Hopefully this helps you find what you are looking for!

The Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office has arrested five men suspected of committing several burglaries in the Van Zandt County area.
Jonathan Christopher Adams, Earl Wayne Few, Jr., Marque Kaleb Hart, Labradford Lamont Hunter, and James Miller were arrested following a manhunt early Wednesday morning.
At around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, a Van Zandt sheriff's deputy witnessed two vehicles driving slowly on the I-20 service road between Highway 17 and Highway 1255. The deputy followed the vehicles to a mini-warehouse complex. When he attempted to question the suspects, they fled on foot, at which time the deputy called for assistance.
With help from the Canton Police Department, Grand Saline Police Department, Van Police Department and a DPS helicopter, five suspects were apprehended.
Further investigation revealed that the office of the warehouse complex had been burglarized. After searching the suspects' vehicles, officials believe they have committed several other robberies in the area.
The suspects are from Terrell, Dallas and Mesquite.

The food is the usual assembly line hotel/convention fare. The dining rooms were decent, the Blue Lagoon disappointing, and the buffet was better than expected. We actually had the buffet dinner one hurried night and was shocked to see pork tenderloin and salmon wellington being served. We didn't use any of the "Pay" restaurants but were told that they were good.
Overall the Panama cruise from NCL was great value for the money. The inside cabins were $300-$500 cheaper than those from Celebrity and Princess. We choose to use the savings toward excursions. NCL brought on-board an expert to "narrate" the 7 hours through the canal. We found that added extreme value to the Panama experience.

According to the organization Hunger Free Vermont, one in five Vermont children experiences hunger or food hardship and the problem doesn't seem to be diminishing.
But one Vermonter is teaming up with Hunger Free Vermont and creating a way to help stop hunger in Vermont by sending a strong message through film.
Angela Smith-Dieng is an advocacy manager at Hunger Free Vermont. They both appeared on The :30 to talk about the film. Watch the video for more, including a sneak preview at one of the scenes from the film.

Helston based Shelterbox help closer to home
2:00pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in News
Helston-based disaster relief charity ShelterBox have been kept busy helping residents displaced by flooding across the county in recent weeks.
ShelterBox response teams were on site in Lostwithiel before Christmas helping to co-ordinate replacement accommodation for flood-hit homeowners including a man and his disabled mother who needed to be moved to the home of another resident who had made space for them.
The charity had eight tents on standby in the town, which fortunately were not needed as the local community rallied round to provide accommodation for those evacuated.

I bought one of their charity bracelet things that were featured on the Packet website a while ago, available at Top Shop, I ordered it on line, it was supposed to be pink with a star on it, and said pink on the packet it was in, however, the star was deformed and far from being pink the little bit of string stuff it is on resembles the two colours on a police car.
I don't mind because it is for charity,
I think if they improved on them though more people may buy them.
