Note to baserunners: Never get too comfortable.
Juan Uribe had to be reminded of this lesson the embarrassing way in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-0 win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The Dodgers third baseman reached third on a sacrifice fly with one out remaining in the fourth inning, but he dipped his head while dusting himself off. The Rays discreetly worked the ball around to Evan Longoria, who tapped Uribe the moment he stepped off the base.
Yasiel Puig developed a surefire way to keep Uribe from making the same mistake again.

Its gameday! The rematch of Matt Leinart and Vince Young after their incredible game in the 2006 Rose Bowl, and last seasons game where Leinart found out he would have to play a couple of hours before the game after Kurt Warner's concussion from the week before kept him out, and he played well enough to win the game, except Young did it again and beat Leinart in the final seconds after a 99 yard drive with 3 4th down conversions on that one drive.
Here are some links, and most of what I've found was about the Leinart/Young connection.

Ok, these cost 65.00 at footlocker. One thing about me is, im obsessed w/ shoes. I think they are bad or good luck. I may be more compulsive about shoes than my Blazer Fandom... So i buy shoes almost every week for myself and my son
. I have been internally debating whether or not to buy these, b/c i feel that they are or could possibly be bad luck. I have no logical reason to think they are not good luck. My son already wears the jersey (Broy, LA or Oden) on game day and so far Brandon's jersey has garnered the most wins. He usually wears the Broy jersey w/ Red Chuck Taylors, the LA jersey w/ Black Chucks and the Oden Jersey w/ the grey and while Jordan #23's .

(WMC-TV) - If one Memphis congressman gets his way, it could mean more flights for Memphis – creating more competition and better prices for everyone.
In a letter to US Airways and American Airline executives Monday, congressman Cohen asked them to consider their presence in Memphis. This comes after Delta announced major cutbacks at the airport. While this is only a letter, it is getting a good reaction from travelers.
"When we left Memphis there was a thunderstorm. So we were delayed getting to Atlanta to our connecting flight. And there were very few flights, so we actually got delayed," said traveler Robin Christensen returning home from Spain.
The journey was not easy. Christensen and other travelers wound up in Paris instead of Spain because Memphis did not have enough available flights.
Airport Officials said this is just one of the many reasons they support Congressman Steve Cohen's outreach to other airlines.
"It's a vibrant community with well over a million people in this MSA. And airlines are businesses that are seeking a profit, and if they see an opportunity to make a profit here, they'll bring air service," said Memphis International Airport Authority chairman Thursday Jack Sammons.
Congressman Cohen's letter asked the newly merged airline to expand its services to Memphis – citing Delta's absence, and a chance to join a newly competitive market.
"We anticipated that Delta may indeed make some of these cuts, it's unfortunate. But we're not gonna just sit back and say, 'Shucks, look what happened to us.' We're gonna try and get in front of the parade and lead it," said Sammons.
Airport officials said they expect some sort of announcement in the coming months about the future of Memphis International Airport and possibly new airlines.

Wynn Las Vegas continues its appreciation and commitment of public art as it unveils Jeff Koons' sculpture Tulips. The transparent color-coated sculpture is made from a mirror-polished stainless steel that will illuminate Wynn Theater rotunda at Wynn Las Vegas.
"Many people believe that Jeff Koons is one of the most important living artists on canvas and in sculpture in the world today. I'm happy to be one of those people and particularly delighted to share with our guests his magnificent creation of the Tulips sculpture, which is now gracing the intersection of Wynn and Encore in our resort, near our showroom lobby. If you see them you will find the experience totally delicious." said Steve Wynn, Wynn Resorts Chairman and CEO. Photo Credit: Barbara Kraft
Tulips is part of the Koons' Celebration series which is one of the most complex and biggest sculpture in the series. The sculpture is a stainless steel bouquet of twisted balloon flowers which is plated in a vibrant spectrum of color and a high mirror polish. The sculpture's glossy surface as well as its color palette gives a reflective effect for the viewer and itself. Koons has been successful in creating an impression that the sculpture is a weightless object when ironically it is heavy. The 3 tons sculpted stainless steel sculpture was acquired in November 2012 at an auction for a price of $33,682,500.
Koons' Tulips represents the range of concepts and modern interpretation relevant to the contemporary world. His sculpture is part of the Celebration works which explores the child-like innocence concept and chart the milestones of the passing year, represented in this instance, Spring. Identified as a flower that bloom for a short time, the medium used in Tulips invokes immortality, durability and the species' endurance. The use of the pristine and smooth medium presents the viewers an image of simplicity and joy. Koons is also inspired with themes including life, death and sexuality.
"Tulips is a symbol of hope and the strength of life's energy. It reflects the viewer to affirm the viewer's existence. I am thrilled to be in the Wynn collection. Steve Wynn is known for collecting great works of Modern and Contemporary art so to be able to have my sculpture, Tulips, included in his collection has profound meaning to me," said Jeff Koons.
About the artist
Jeff Koons was born on 1955 at York, Pennsylvania. Koons studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He also studied in Baltimore at the Maryland Institute College of Art where he received a BFA in 1976. Currently, he lives and works in New York City.
Koons received commendations for his public sculptures including Puppy (1992) and Split-Rocker (2000). Puppy, monumental floral sculpture, is shown a Rockefeller Center and later on become a permanent display at the Guggenheim Bilbao. The Split-Rocker was installed at Fondation Beyeler, Papal Palace in Avignon and the Palace of Versailles.
Koon's cultural achievements have brought him numerous awards and honors. Koons received in 2009 a Singleton Copley Award from the Royal Academy of Arts and he also received The Governor's Awards for the Arts Distinguished Arts Award. He was also promoted by President Jacques Chirac as Officie de la Legion d'Honneur. He received the first-ever Medal of Art from Secretary of State Clinton as he participated in the U.S. Department of State's Art in Embassies program.

More than 2,000 people back Gloucestershire County Council's A417 loop scheme
3:00pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in News By Shaun Dix
THE campaign to secure funding for a project that would see a notoriously dangerous stretch of the A417 improved has gained more than 2,000 online signatures in the space of a week.
Gloucestershire County Council is asking residents from all over the county to come together to convince the government to provide £250million to fund the A417 loop, a project that would eradicate the treacherous 'missing link' between Nettleton Bottom and Birdlip.
It is hoped that with continued support the A417 loop will be added to the Highways Agency's list of future road scheme priorities at the end of March, as part of its ongoing Route Based Strategy Work.
If the project is added to the list then there is a much higher chance of securing the vital funding when the government allocates cash in the spring of next year.
Cllr Mark Hawthorne, leader of GCC, said: "I'm delighted that more than 2,000 people have backed the campaign already. Please encourage your friends, family and colleagues to register their support as well.
"Now is the time for us to make our case heard. We firmly believe the A417 loop is the way forward and we have to make sure the government knows we are serious."
If successful, a new dual carriageway is to be built linking Brockworth and Cowley, avoiding the Air Balloon roundabout and the infamous single stretch of road at Nettleton.
The road, which is used by around 34,000 vehicles every day, is well known for its high rate of accidents.
On average, a serious crash happens on the road every two weeks and since 1998 11 people have been killed as a result.
Last week the Standard reported that Mark Owen, the regional chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, was outraged that the A417 "fiasco" had not been fixed sooner.
He said: "I suspect that if Isambard Kingdom Brunel or Thomas Telford were alive today, they could knock out a viable Nettleton Bottom scheme on the back of a fag packet."
Local businesses, residents and commuters are urged to show their support for the A417 support by signing up and pledging their backing at www.a417missinglink.co.uk.

If you or your loved one are one of the estimated 5.4 million in the United States with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, take heart. People with Alzheimer's can still lead full and invigorating lives. The way you cope with the diagnosis and plan for the future can make all the difference to you and your family.
So, what now? How do you live with Alzheimer's disease? How do you cope with a life-changing diagnosis? What should you do?
Whether you have Alzheimer's or are caring for a loved one with the disease, start with the following tips:
Overall Health:Find a good physician and discuss treatment options. There are some effective medications available that may slow the disease process. (Always tell your physician if you're taking any other medications or herbal / natural supplements.)
Share your diagnosis and explain Alzheimer's symptoms to close family and friends. Don't be afraid to ask your loved ones for assistance. Chances are, they will want to be involved and will feel comforted in knowing how to help you.
Don't forget your spiritual health. Journal, pray or meditate as is your practice. If you are part of an organized group, seek their support.
Mental Health:Learn about Alzheimer's and what to expect as the disease progresses. Understanding the symptoms and treatments of Alzheimer's disease can help you and your loved ones cope in a more positive way.
Consider using some of these simple strategies:
- Outline a schedule for the day
- Write down names or special events
- Jot down phone calls that were made or received
- Label cupboards or drawers to help locate items
- Keep a list of important phone numbers by the telephone
Stay active, both physically and mentally. As much as possible, don't give up your hobbies, interests or social outings. Try to stretch your mind by doing mental gymnastics such as crossword, Sudoku or jigsaw puzzles, or other mental exercises.
Recognize that although you may have to slow down with tasks and you may have days that are better than others, you still have much to offer others.
Physical Health:In addition to exercising regularly, get your vision and hearing checked routinely, since deficits in these areas can increase confusion. Pay attention to good nutrition. Sometimes making meals or staying on schedule for them is a struggle, so consider ordering meals in your home. Most communities have meals and delivery available.
If new medications and different doses become hard to keep straight, use a pill box marked with days and general times to organize and track medications.
Check out your community resources and services. Identify what your options and preferences are for in-home care, assisted living, and long term care / nursing homes ahead of time, rather than during a possible crisis.
If you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's, monitor your own health. Be accountable to a friend or family member to take good care of yourself, so that you can continue to care well for the person with Alzheimer's.
Legal and Financial Health:One way you can take control of your situation is by designating someone to serve as your Power Of Attorney for Health Care (Patient Advocate) and Durable Power of Attorney (for finances). These documents provide the legal power for other people to carry out your desires if you are unable to do so. You may also want to complete a living will. (Not all states recognize living wills, but it will still help your Patient Advocate know in writing what your preferences are regarding healthcare decisions.)
Additionally, you'll want to research the cost of different caregiver / facility options in your community. You may or may not need outside help, but taking this step will make it clear which options are financially feasible and which are not. If finances are limited, find out how Medicaid works. Medicaid offers a variety of covered services, both in-home and in facilities, to those who qualify.
Emotional Health:Whether you are the caregiver or the person with Alzheimer's, coping with this disease can be stressful. Give yourself time and grace to adjust to this new challenge.
Continue to spend time as you can with family and friends; social interaction and the support from loved ones are important for your health. If you're experiencing depression, anxiety or other distress, meet with a social worker, psychologist or counselor for assistance.
If you're caring for someone with Alzheimer's, recognize that it is not only a responsibility and a challenge, but also an important privilege. Review these signs of caregiver burnout to guard against them.
Finally, don't do it alone. Join a support group in your community and / or online. Groups are available to provide you and others in your situation the opportunity to share with and support each other.

"This is a trend that had been building for a decade or more," said John Gerzema, a consumer expert and author of Spend Shift: How the Post-Crisis Values Revolution is Changing the Way We Buy, Sell, and Live. "Americans had been changing their behavior even before the recession hit, saving more, spending less and closing the gap between their needs and wants. Consumers are becoming more conscious about their excesses and moving from mindless to mindful consumption."
The rebirth of the thrift store is only one aspect of this. Dozens of websites have popped up in the past three years offering shoppers the opportunity to share, trade, barter and resell products to people who need them, no matter where they are.

Consumerism as we know it is about to change for good.
The Return of Old Consumer Values
Jory Felice was shopping at a garage sale last year when he stumbled on a vintage 20-year-old Mac Classic computer on sale for only $10. Felice, who works as a Web designer, couldn't resist and bought it. Unfortunately, there was one problem: The computer was missing a mouse.
"They don't make that mouse anymore, and from a design standpoint, I had to have that one," Felice said.
So Felice left the garage sale with his purchase and turned to a different kind of thrifty community for help, a site called Neighborgoods where consumers can borrow or rent products from people who live nearby and share or sell their own goods in return.
Felice, who joined Neighborgoods in mid-2009, searched the site and, sure enough, found one user in his area who had dozens of old mice he no longer used and was willing to give away.
"This way, I didn't have to go and bid on a mouse at some auction," Felice said. Instead, all he had to do was drive over to the person's house. Although, as he admits now, this did prove to be a unique experience.
"He was on his front porch with a bunch of his friends and had a paper bag with this old mouse in it. It was like a weird creepy drug deal," Felice said. "But he was a really sweet guy, and it's a great mouse."
Neighborgoods officially launched in October 2009 after having been available in a beta version for several months. It launched nationally in June of this year. There are now more than 10,000 members on the site sharing and selling $3 million worth of goods. They, like Felice, use the site to save money, lend to others and find an alternative way to shop.
"We're just using new technology to do old things," said Micki Krimmel, the founder and CEO of Neighborgoods. "There are stories of women from 1910 who used to share vacuum cleaners. That's essentially what we are doing now."
The idea for the site began with a backpack.

The recent headlines regarding the closed negotiations for Kessler have generated some concern amongst the Canuck faithful. I have no doubt this will be resolved quickly once the season ends but for the sake of discussion, what if there is another agenda in place? If the Canucks are in the Kovalev sweepstakes, then consideration has to be given as to what would make them the most successful bidder. Raymond and Kessler are the only top six forwards who are not under contract for next year. Kessler's bargaining position is much better than Raymond's so it is safe to assume his contract will be much higher than Raymond's. By the same token, Raymond as the top six forward would not give the Canucks an advantage in a trade but Kessler would be an extremely attractive bargaining chip. If you throw in everyone's favorite whipping boy, Bieksa, Grabner and a second round draft pick, that could be sufficient to bring Kovalev to Vancouver. Demitra's money along with Bieksa's would go a long way towards meeting Kovalev's salary demands.My basic premise is that you have to give up quality to get quality and watering this package down too far simply won't get the job done.
Reactions but since this is my first post in this group, be gentle.

Naamaste Kitchen
June in Camden. Not quite April in Paris, but it'll do. Satisfaction hasn't been found in any of my visits to Indian restaurants recently: Dishoom was bland and Trishna overrated. Famous sub-continental hospitality has been non existent, and I've been having nightmares about Saag Aloo ever since. Namaaste Kitchen, a lazy stroll from Camden Town tube, is the second restaurant from ex-Chutney Mary chef Sabir Karim. It's something of a hidden gem in blogging circles, despite Fay Maschler and Matthew Norman's definite praise. Aside from tourist traps and greasy spoons, I suppose Camden is something of a foodie Bermuda Triangle. But were we lost at sea at Namaaste Kitchen?

In the world of tomorrow, sustainability shouldn't just be limitedto the 'green' technology driven devices; every element from structuresto vehicles should be imbibed with that same manner of energyefficiency, so that we can collectively progress into an extraordinarily sustainable era. Now, there have been concepts that do clearly alludeto such a direction, and solar-powered parking lots have been one ofthem. Industrial designers have contrived of such conceptions that notonly recharge with clean energy but also generate electricity forlighting purpose. So here is a list of the 10 amazing energy generatingparking concepts for electric cars that we should all take a peek at.
1. Park Green parking lot features optimally inclined solar panels:
Abast Energia, a Spanish engineering firm has come up with this adroit design in form of a parking lot with solar paneled roofs mounted optimally atan angle of 15 degrees. Named as ParkGreen, the station can generate apower of 3.33 kW of solar energy for two parked electric vehicles.Moreover, the sturdy, anti-corrosion parking lot features an air chamber for natural ventilation and cooling, along with LEDs to go with itsconspicuousness.
2. Solar Parking Garages:
Envision Solar of California has come with an ingenious solution for integrating solar panels on the roofs of parking structures. Theresultant electricity can then be transferred to an adjacent building,fed into the power grid, or be used to charge electric cars in theparking lot. The only downside to this arrangement can be the high costof the solar panels itself.
3. A parking lot with solar powered electric charging station in Tennessee:
The first EV charging station in south eastern U.S., the $180,000 parking lot integrates a 20kW solar array on its roof. A plug-in hybrid or an all-electric car can beeasily connected to the charger, while the customer waits. Funded by the state, this convenient conception has in a way inspired otherinstallations to crop up in the vicinity, in places like Nashville andChattanooga.
4. Solar Forest Concept by Neville Mars:
A wondrous concept from Neville Mars, Solar Forest acts as a confluence of solar poweredparking lots and visually appealing urban landscape. Composed of 'trees' with photovoltaic leaves, the 'trunk' portion will consist of poweroutlets for charging. And aside from powering up vehicles, thisfascinating design could also provide shades.
5. Eco Garage Automatic Parking for Chicago:
Though not strictly an energy generating parking concept, this ambitious proposal surely calls for energy efficiency. The Green Park Eco Garage isbasically a robotic scheme for parking around 100 cars, but using aneffectual space management system where cars can be stacked uponmultilevel platforms, which allows for 20 cars to occupy a same area as 4 would have done in normal parking conditions.
6. Solar Parking Lot Structure at Dell Head-Quarters:
In collaboration with McBride Electric Inc., Envision Solar and BP Solar, Dell has unveiled their solar powered parking lot in 2009. Already known as being one of the major companies to patronize sustainability, this was certainly another 'green' step ahead.
7. Romag introduces PowerPark solar carport:
A company called Romag Holdings has launched their own version of energy generating carports in Britain. Utilizing laminated photovoltaic panels, each unit istouted to have a peak output of 150 kilowatts. Moreover, when novehicles are plugged, the extra power is fed back into the grid. Indeed, a true 'conservation of energy'!
8. Nejur Andrei's solar parking juices up electric cars wirelessly:
Uniquely different from other solar parking lots, Romanian designer Nejur Andrei has contrived of a proposition where there could be wireless transmission of charge from an abovesolar canopy to the charging coil embedded in the asphalt, and fromthere to the car battery. Using an automatic system, the undergroundbattery pack transmits this charge on to the multiple charging coilsjust below the parked car, and from there a receiving coil situatedunder the car draws up that charge. Once the car's battery is full, thesensors inside the asphalt can stop the charging process.
9. Solar parking lot that uses your car's windshield as a heliostat:
Conceptualized by designers Klaud Wasiak and Yongbang Ho, this is the Solasis LightTower – an energy generating parking lot with an exceptional differencein mechanism. The lot will integrate a solar power concentrating towerthat uses the windshields and hoods of cars as sun tracking andconcentrating mirrors. The extra power after recharging of the car willbe given back to the main grid.
10. Electric car parking tower that powers cars with solar and wind energy:
At the end we have come across another delightful conception, and this time it is from designer Roberto Dei Lidi. Named as the SmartTower, the design will feature a wholly automated system where it canlift and rotate cars, leaving the space underneath for other purposes.But, the most important thing about the design is that it will utilizeboth solar panels and a vertical wind turbine for clean energygeneration.

A Sure Sign of Spring — Asparagus !
Posted on March 14, 2010
Once known as "sparrow grass," fresh asparagus of all colors — green, purple, or white — is a gift of Spring!
Rinse and Snap!
The tender tips can be especially sandy. Holding bunch upside down, gently swish them in cold water. Then, to snap off the tough woody bottoms, bend the stalk at the natural breaking point (where the color changes from white to green, 1 to 2 inches from the base).
To Steam or to Blanch? Steaming thicker stalks leaves them sweet and crunchy, while roasting them will yield heartier flavor and softer texture. Blanching is best for thin stalks when you want them crisp-tender.

Happy birthday! Hoy cumple dos años mi blog. 20. 02. 2014
The first time I saw her..
Everything in my head went quiet.
All the ticks, all the constantly refreshing images just disappeared.
When you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you don't really get quiet moments.
Even in bed, I'm thinking:
Did I lock the doors? Yes.
Did I wash my hands? Yes.
Did I lock the doors? Yes.
Did I wash my hands? Yes.
But when I saw her, the only thing I could think about was the hairpin curve of her lips..
Or the eyelash on her cheek-
the eyelash on her cheek-
the eyelash on her cheek.
I knew I had to talk to her.
I asked her out six times in thirty seconds.
She said yes after the third one, but none of them felt right, so I had to keep going.
On our first date, I spent more time organizing my meal by color than I did eating it, or talking to her..
But she loved it.
She loved that I had to kiss her goodbye sixteen times or twenty-four times at different times of the day.
She loved that it took me forever to walk home because there are lots of cracks on our sidewalk.
When we moved in together, she said she felt safe, like no one would ever rob us because I definitely lock the door eighteen times.
I'd always watch her mouth when she talked-
when she talked-
when she talked-
when she talked;
when she said she loved me, her mouth would curl up at the edges.
At night, she'd lay in bed and watch me turn all the lights off.. And on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off.
She'd close her eyes and imagine that the days and nights were passing in front of her.
But then.. She said I was taking up too much of her time.
That I couldn't kiss her goodbye so much because I was making her late for work..
When she said she loved me, her mouth was a straight line..
When I stopped in front of a crack in the sidewalk, she just kept walking..
And last week she started sleeping at her mother's place.
She told me that she shouldn't have let me get so attached to her; that this whole thing was a mistake, but..
How can it be a mistake that I don't have to wash my hands after I touch her?
Love is not a mistake, and it's killing me that she can run away from this and I just can't.
I can't go out and find someone new because I always think of her.
Usually, when I obsess over things, I see germs sneaking into my skin.
I see myself crushed my an endless succession of cars..
And she was the first beautiful thing I ever got stuck on.
I want to wake up every morning thinking about the way she holds her steering wheel..
How she turns shower knobs like she opening a safe.
How she blows out candles-
blows out candles-
blows out candles-
blows out candles-
blows out-….
Now, I just think about who else is kissing her.
I can't breathe because he only kisses her once-he doesn't care if it's perfect!
I want her back so bad..
I leave the door unlocked.
I leave the lights on.

Thread: Ken Ken ... Sudoku on Steroids
Ken Ken ... Sudoku on Steroids
In case there are any sudoku lovers out there, I've recently discovered a similar type of puzzle called KenKen. You still have to have all the digits in each row and column, but instead of 9x9 boxes, there are groups of boxes that have to add (multiply, subtract, divide) up to a certain number. In the example I have below, each row and column has to have the numbers 1-6. The bolded lines show the groupings, and the number and mathematical sign in the upper left of each group show what number you have to get to, and how.
Fair warning, these things can be addicting ... at least if you're part geek like me.
If anyone's interested, I'll find and post some more.

My 3yr old woke up today with a fever. Idk exactly how high it was b/c the thermometer we have is messed up. You could tell he felt bad; He barely ate today and he slept and laid on the couch pretty much all day. But the weird thing is he didn't/doesn't have a cough, runny nose, upset stomach, or anything besides the fever.
Anyone have any ideas?
My friends baby had a fever like this yesterday and she went to the Dr. today but they couldn't find anything wrong with her. He wasn't around her this weekend though.
Could be some form of infection? (Bladder, ear, ect.)
Same thing happend with my 1 year old then a day or two later she showed signs of a cold. Could also be an infection of some sort if the fever lasts longer than 3 days then take him in.
Yeah maybe an ear infection.. He's only had two and that was the only signs of an ear infection he's ever had was a fever. He never touched his ears or anything. Idk why I didn't think about that. Ugh I hope it's not an ear infection :(
Ugh idk I'll see how he is tomorrow and then make an apt if I need to

"This is the second holiday season that I have designed my card with Tiny Prints. I was pleased with my first experience so I returned and plan to make this a "tradition!" We have a Victorian home that we are restoring, and these multi-photo cards allow us to show our family and friends exactly what we have been up to all year long. There are so many options to choose from that I never have a problem finding a style that is appropriate. Photos and copy are easily added and edited. You can even have a designer review your card for free! The ease of having our names and message pre-printed can't be beat, and this year I sprang for pre-printed return addresses as well. We received tons of compliments on the card and several friends have opted to shop Tiny Prints for their needs. The color clarity and card stock are both of excellent quality. This is a bit expensive, but I believe the personalization and ease make these cards well worth the money!"
"This is a very cute retro-looking card. Quality of paper and printing was excellent without upgrades. We used a photo that had been "antiqued" in iPhoto and it looked great. we also got the rounded corners which looked great with the design. the only thing I didn't like was the "faux-mildew" on the back side of the card- an attempt to make it look like a postcard saved for decades, but kind of made the back look dirty. Overall, highly recommended for your out-of-state relatives!"
"i loved that i was able to customize all the words on this card- i used it for new year and new address cards, so the design was perfect. all the colors came out perfectly, and i'm completely happy with the finished product!"
"My cards are beautiful and I've gotten great compliments on them. Every one loved the vintage look to them, I was very pleased as well. I initially was disappointed when I had paid for overnight expedited delivery and I didn't receive them as I expected, but the young lady at customer service was very nice and immediately refunded my shipping cost. Luckily, although they were late arriving, I was able to send them out just on time to be received by Christmas."
"We wrote our entire Christmas card inside, decreased the font size to fit the whole letter and it was still perfectly legible and easy on the eyes :)"

In what could be one of the most expensive political battles in Virginia history, NBC29 is following the money in the race for governor right down to your zip code.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli have both raked in millions of dollars from outside contributors, but looking closer at data across the commonwealth there are very visible - and very predictable - patterns of support.
According to data compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project, McAuliffe is outraising Cuccinelli by almost four to one in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas (McAuliffe's $317,108 vs. Cuccinelli's $84,501 through June 30). It's a different story in the Shenandoah Valley, where Cuccinelli is outraising McAuliffe 10 to one (Cuccinelli's $112,452 vs. McAuliffe's $11,985 through June 30).
Political experts say the numbers are less about dollars and cents, and more about how each campaign will gauge support leading up to Election Day. Former Staunton delegate-turned-political-consultant Chris Saxman says with very low turnout expected, the election will come down to every ballot cast - especially absentee ballots.
"I think the absentee ballot program is absolutely essential to winning this election," Saxman said. "And I think with the money that is on the ground, getting those absentee ballots in is going to be critical."
The next campaign contribution filing deadline - the last one before Election Day - is October 15.

In walks the portly fellow, hand extended and smiling. His plain white shirt and simple necktie, not to mention the modest horn rimmed glasses, are signature. His face clean shaven and his sleeves are rolled up to just below the elbow. I already noticed his overcoat and hat hanging on the hat tree by the door. His spit shined brown shoes look like mirrors despite the obvious age they show. Absent is any exuberant glitz or glamour associated with his appearance. No outlandish tattoos or cologne. No extravagant design or pattern on his pants. Just a coach with a passion for a game he truly loves and, again, a smile. Vince Lombardi himself, in the flesh. I hop out of my chair and reach for his hand. Very firm hand shake.
"How are you, Mr. Jenkins," he says.
"Fine, I retort, very fine. Call me Tyrone."
"Tyrone it is," he answers back. We sit.
I look down toward my notepad, shuffling a few papers and say, "Coach, I just have a few questions for you here today – shouldn't take us too long to get through this."
"You're gonna need more than a few minutes with me, son. You know I love football so you very well may have to cut me off at some point," he chuckles. I chuckle too, and then think about the content of his sentence. My goodness. I'm about to sit down and talk at length with Vince Lombardi. I'm sure I might very well be here all night; probably won't even notice the time. Collecting my thoughts and trying to remain as professional as possible so as to avoid acting like a school girl at a Justin Bieber concert, I begin.
Coach Lombardi: The simple word that comes to mind is evolution. My, have things changed – some for the better and some for the worst. Guys are bigger, stronger, and faster. Hungrier. I like that very much. A few more "prima donnas" though, but that's too be expected. Heh, heh, heh.
Tyrone: Prima donnas?
Coach: Yeah, I'm not too much for all these guys concerned about contracts and numbers. Guys need to be concerned about winning and less about yards, tackles and pay. Get out there and play. Work hard. Compete. Champions are made in practice – not at the negotiating table. If a player works hard, the money will take care of itself. In my day, there was no such thing as free agency.
Tyrone: I couldn't agree more, Coach. So, I guess the Right Kind of Guy concept that Jason Garrett is employing works for you.
Coach: It's actually a concept I implored myself for many years but never really had a name for it. It just always made sense to acquire guys who wanna play ball, that aren't afraid of a little hard work and that have skill to get the job done. I've been preaching that for years – it's nice to know someone's listening [another smile from Coach]. It's actually kinda funny how there IS a name for it and how coaches seem to be getting BACK to doing it.
Tyrone: Trying to find good, solid players is always good in my book.
Coach: You're trying to find winners. Winners aren't just born, they're made. Made with attitude, ethic and execution. That Sean Lee guys is exactly what I'm talking about. Chuck Norris on the football field if you ask me. I could use 52 more of him and go to war.
Tyrone: Ah, so you like Sean Lee, eh?
Coach: Son, Sean Lee is my kinda football player. Not the greatest athlete but one of the best players.
Tyrone: Ok, well while we're discussing individual players, how bout I throw a couple of names atcha and you just say what comes to mind.
Coach: Fire away. But, I need you to realize something. [His tone a little more serious] This is our 1st interview so it's probably worth saying that I don't hold any punches. I'm gonna tell you like I see it – nothing less.
Tyrone: Wouldn't have it any other way, Coach.
Coach: Ok then, who's first? [Once again, he smiles widely]
Tyrone: Tony Romo.
Coach: Top 10 QB. Finally elite. It took him a lil while but he's there now. If he continues to work and play like he's been, he'll be fine.
Tyrone: Demarcus Ware.
Coach: One of the best pass rushers ever. Right up there w/ Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White. Great guy. Good work ethic. Not a prima donna. Like him a lot. Come on, Tyrone, these are easy.
Tyrone: Ok, coach. Tim Tebow.
Coach: Ha, ha, now you're talkin. Ok. Tebow is a winner. A winner who lacks the skill to play QB. But definitely a winner. There'd be a place for him on my team – I'm just not so sure it'd be quarterback.
Tyrone: Jerry Jones.
Coach: Hahahahaha. [His smile widens even more - didn't know that was possible] You got me on that one. Jerry Jones, eh? Well, he's not a player. But, I like Jerry. I really do. He's very enthusiastic and he wants to win. But, the same can be said about any 3rd string safety. Ah, let's see. Jerry Jones. You want me to be honest?
Tyrone: Brutally.
Coach: Jerry doesn't really understand how dynasties are formed. He does possess some talent recognition skills but seems to be missing the whole picture. He was fortunate enough early on to have great people working for him – but then it seems he became too involved in the limelight of it all. He wants to be great but doesn't want to pay the dues to achieve greatness.
Tyrone: Pay the dues? What dues?
Coach: Owners should be results based – not process based. Kinda like Army generals. They say what they want and let others go about achieving the objective. It's a waste of time and resources to have an Army general charge up a hill with a gun, not to mention too risky and difficult to achieve by himself as there are younger guys better suited for the job. His talents lie elsewhere; in directing the entire force both during the war and preparing for the next one. If a General doesn't trust the people working for him, he finds new ones who he can trust to do the job. Jerry seems to want to not only be involved with the process, but to be the one who creates it . . . probably to tell everyone that it was his process that was successful. You can't be the team builder, owner and a coach all at the same time. Waste of time and resources not to mention too risky and difficult to achieve. Results don't need to be concerned about the process as much because they already understand it from years of experience. Jerry has not paid his dues in that department because he didn't learn enough when he had good people . . . or he didn't listen to or believe them. Now it appears he want to skip ahead to looking like he has.
Tyrone: So can Jerry win another championship?
Coach: Another? He didn't win any of the ones prior. He can be a part of the process but at this point, I don't feel he has enough skill and experience to be the final decision maker. His best bet is to leave that up to those who do.
Tyrone: Well, sir, some would disagree with you. The team did win 3 Superbowls with him as the owner.
Coach: Then those people are idiots. I bet if you looked a lil closer, you'd realize those wins were not because of Mr. Jones but in spite of Mr. Jones. He was along for the ride. He's not a coach. He's not in the locker room devising plays or listening to see how the players get along every day. He may show up on the sidelines for games but he's away from the day-to-day interactions of people that are so important. Finding good players is more than measuring 40 times and seeing who can jump the highest. Character is just as important and putting the wrong characters on your team, even though they're studs on the football field, doesn't always work. His track record this past 15 years has proven my point.
Tyrone: So do you think you could've ever been a coach for Mr. Jones.
Coach: Very difficult. I'd have shared my vision of how to build a dynasty with him and let him decide if I would be the right man for the job.
Tyrone: So how DO you build a dynasty, Coach?
Coach: Dynasties are not an achievement anyone can assure. They are a result of doing things the right way and getting lucky. Not even I knew I'd have the success I had. I was the Packers coach from 59 to 66 or was it 67. Yes, it was 67. And during that time, I made it a priority to get guys who loved football, were coachable and who had some talent and athleticism. My luck came in with having Bart Starr. His skill for the position of quarterback was obvious the minute I saw him. But, his ability to lead was what made him special and the team successful. Bart knew how to talk to people. Sometimes, some guys need encouragement. He knew who needed this and how to give it. Other guys need a swift kick in the ass. He could deliver that too. Still others need to be shown how to act and play by example and Bart knew that sometimes he just needed to say nothing and go out there and get the job done no matter how gritty the field was or how big the defense seemed to be. He knew just what to do and when to do it. Every championship team needs a Starr and I was lucky enough to have him. A dynasty occurs when the mentality and attitude of that star becomes the mentality and attitude of the team. That attitude has to be that everyone has a job to do. Every manager, coach, player. Failing to do your job is letting others on the team down. I didn't want to fail at my job as a coach so I studied long and hard on how to be one. I made my players study. I told my boss who I thought was good and who I didn't want. And he listened . . . most of the time. [Another big smile] He listened more with the more success we had. Everyone working hard and doing their part – not more than their part and certainly, not less.
Tyrone: Well, Coach, I must say that your formula works. You led your teams to 3 NFL Championships and won the 1st 2 Superbowls in 7 years.
Coach: Thank you.
Tyrone: Do you think the Buffalo Bills of 1990-1993 qualifies as well? That was the time the Bills went to and lost 4 Superbowls in a row.
Coach: Good question. [He ponders the question in silence for a couple of seconds, then reaches in his back pocket, removes a handkerchief and wipes his brow] I would say no – simply based on the fact that they didn't win. Great teams yes, great coaching as well. But there's just no substitute for being called a champion. Patriots were recently a dynasty and might still be with Belicheck and Brady. Steelers have been consistenly among the tops of the league. And, you know I still got an eye on my Packers - watch them for the next few years. Let me ask you a question: would you prefer to make it to and lose 5 or even more championships in a row or would you rather win 1 championship game but not make the playoffs for the next 4 years?
Tyrone: Well, no, I think I'd take the championship. Good point.
To be continued…

Tuesday's news that the Dallas Stars had traded Michael Ryder to the Montreal Canadiens was met with a healthy bit of surprise; big-name trades weren't exactly expected to start going down for at least another month.
The NHL's official trade deadline falls on April 3 but it seems as if teams are not willing to sit and wait for the official deadline to approach before making moves to address the needs the of the team. The Flyers acquired Simon Gagne from the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday and almost as soon as word came down that Erik Cole was headed to Dallas, the rumor mills began to seriously heat up.
While the trade deadline coming just weeks before the end of the season, teams likely aren't willing to wait to make significant changes or additions to their team; the push for the postseason is already upon us and the pressure to keep up in the standings increases with each passing day.
The Stars trade for Cole raised some eyebrows, if for no other reason than it feels as if this trade is merely the first in what could be a series of changes for the Stars over the next few weeks. Cole provides stability for the immediate future but he also improves the team in the present; it could be that Nieuwendyk and the Stars are focused on doing what it takes to ensure a successful season (playoffs) while also maintaining the youth development the team is so focused on.
The questions is...what trades could the Stars make? What needs still need to be addressed, whether that's for this season or beyond?
Please Note: Anything beyond this point is pure speculation and absolutely, positively nothing more than Eklund-esque antics and baseless pontificating.
Look for the Carolina Hurricanes to trade for a veteran defenseman over the next few days.— Kevin Allen (@ByKevinAllen) February 27, 2013
There has been talk that the Stars could possibly trade Stephane Robidas, rumors that have swirled for at least that last few seasons. There are going to be a number of teams out there looking for a veteran defenseman as they gear up for a playoff run; Robidas would likely thrive in a more muted role on a deeper team on defense.
Of course, Robidas has a full no-trade clause. Perhaps Trevor Daley could be the type of veteran blueliner teams are willing to hand over some assets for, although even Daley has a limited NTC that could prohibit such a move.
No matter what return the Stars could get by sending away a veteran defenseman, such a trade would leave the Stars even more woefully thin on defense. Perhaps the return would be a younger defenseman with upside on top of a draft pick, although that still doesn't address one simple fact...
The Dallas Stars need help on defense as well.
Rich Chere suggests that the New Jersey Devils could be shopping one of their defensemen, either top prospect Jon Merril or budding veteran blueliner Andy Greene. Chere suggests that the asking price for either player would have to be a top-six caliber forward that would help add some offensive punch to a team suddenly without Zach Parise.
Greene could possibly be exactly what the Stars are looking for, a top pairing veteran defenseman still finding his full potential that would add a bit more balance to the blue line for the Stars. The problem is that the Stars likely don't have the assets available to make such a trade given that asking price and you wonder just what caliber of prospect the Devils would even be willing to consider in such a trade.
Henrik Tallinder is also mentioned as possibly being available and he certainly wouldn't fetch as high a price; the problem is that the Stars seem to already have a number of players like Tallinder in the system, would his upside be worth what the Stars would have to give up?
The Flyers are looking to ship Danny Briere out of Philadelphia and have inquired about Kevin Shattenkirk for the Blues and Dustin Byfgulien from the Jets -- I'm not even close to certain either of those players can be moved but it certainly starts to show just what sort of market could exist out there right now. Danny Briere isn't worth either of those two players (not even close) but we're once again setting up for a very expensive defenseman market.
Perhaps Zach Bogosian would be well worth the price, if rumors about his being unhappy in Winnipeg are indeed true. Such a trade would come only with a steep, steep return from the Stars so once again....just how important is such a trade to the Stars? Not to mention the Jets would be tremendously stupid to even contemplate moving him.
Ryan Whitney is probably available, but no one seems to actually be interested. Nor should they.
So we're basically back around to where we started -- just how much are the Stars willing to pay for any extra defensive help, and can the Stars afford to ship out a veteran even if the price seems to be right?
There's also the tough determination on whether the Stars are going to be "buyers" or "sellers" in the market. Logic says the Cole trade means the Stars are committed to the playoffs this season, but are they willing to give up pieces of the future to do so? The Cole trade makes sense because the Stars still have two third-round picks in the draft and Michael Ryder was going to be a UFA.
There's also the matter of the pending free agents still remaining on the team: Eric Nystrom and Brenden Morrow could certainly be available, although Morrow's NTC (and status with the team) is certainly a hurdle -- including his elevated level of play as of yet.
The problem is that when Whitney returns, the Stars will have a plethora of veteran wingers and someone is going to be pushed out. Perhaps that's what the Stars are looking for, more balance across three lines, but that seems like it could come at the cost of playing time for some younger players that have excelled so far this season.
Nieuwendyk hinted during yesterday's conference call that the Stars are still looking to be active in the trade market and given the curious nature of the Cole trade -- I think it improves the team, certainly, but it feels as if there's more to come -- there's certainly more than a chance something else is coming down the pipeline.
Perhaps the Stars flip a young defenseman.
Perhaps the Stars trade some vets for draft picks or prospects.
Perhaps the Stars go completely all-in on this season and the next 1-3 years and really make a splash.
Perhaps the Stars target a veteran defenseman with a number of the young and promising players (Matt Fraser) that have shown they could be valuable assets. Perhaps those defenseman are too expensive...
What are your thoughts? So many directions for the Stars to head and not much time left to get there.

It's always interesting to look ahead at the next UFC card and try to pick who will take home the bonuses for the night's best knockout, submission and fight. UFC 143 features some heavy competition in each of those categories but there's always a surprise or two once the fights actually go down.
Here are my picks for the bonuses, hit up the comments to let me know where you agree and disagree.
Fight of the Night: Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit
I think it's hard to pick anything other than the main event for this one. Nick Diaz is simply one of the most exciting fighters on the planet and in Carlos Condit he faces a fellow fighter who "brings it" every time out. It's a battle of different kinds of aggression and violence but similarly hard to break wills (something along the lines of "gameness" that Luke Thomas talked about).
While I don't think this goes all five rounds, the action from bell to bell should be incredible and both men having the ability to fight on the feet or floor means there should be no real lulls in the action.
Second Choice: Renan Barao vs. Scott Jorgensen - These bantamweights are going to bring some really solid action on the main card.
Follow after the jump for submission and knockout picks...
Knockout of the Night: Dustin Poirier
Poirier hasn't finished anyone since coming to the UFC but he has laid some beatings on people. The diverse attack that he showcased against Josh Grispi in a fight where Poirier was basically there to play "opponent" is hard to overlook. In Max Holloway, Poirier takes on a guy with four career professional fights coming in on fairly late notice. Maybe it's cheating to pick the big experience differential and late notice fight, but I have a feeling Poirier is going to finish Holloway in violent fashion.
Second Choice: Roy Nelson - I have a feeling that Werdum might get a little too cute and eat a big right hand from Nelson that ends his night.
Submission of the Night: Edwin Figueroa
Figueroa is set to face Alex Caceres on the FX portion of the undercard. The key here is that Caceres has lost four of his last six professional bouts by submission. Figueroa tends to finish fights with strikes more than submissions, but Caceres has such an easy to exploit game on the ground that I'm riding with Edwin to take a great submission in this one.
Second Choice: Nick Diaz - Strange gut feeling here that at some point Condit looks to get the fight to the floor after not liking the combinations of Diaz and ends up in a fight ending triangle choke.
So what do you think? Agree, disagree? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Region Workshop
Good Day Region IV,
WOW! Registration and the start of a new year is now over. It always adds a bit of pep to my step to see all of the new and eager students. I have to admit changing school during the Fall push is a significant challenge but I can happily say the experience was invaluable. Throughout this year I plan to coordinate up to date training that will prepare us not only for the ongoing changes for the 12/13 school year but also for the 13/14 school year. Keeping at the forefront of all that I do our chief goal of our FAFSA President Nathan Basford training, training, and more training.
I have been employed my Hillsborough Community College since May 2012 . Prior to HCC I spend time with the University of Tampa in Tampa Florida and Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, TN. Throughout this financial aid experience I have learned the importance of customer service, patience, listening and the importance of a strong foundation in why we do what we do with financial aid.
It is my intention to train Region IV on the most up to date information that I can about our ever evolving financial aid field as well as sharing insights on customer service. I look forward to serving as the Region 4 Representative and I welcome any suggestions that you may have for our upcoming training sessions.
Sean Johnson
Region IV Representative
FASFAA Region Workshop information will be posted on the calendar located on the home page.

International Hero
Angel Macias led Mexico to the World Series title in 1957
September 17, 2012
By Lindsey Hale
The Little League World Series is held every year in Williamsport, Pa., and teams from the all over the world compete to play for the championship.
In 1957, Angel Macias led Mexico to the championship – the first international team to claim the title.
A stellar ambidextrous pitcher, Angel threw four one-hit gems prior to the championship matchup between Monterrey, Mexico and La Mesa, Calif. The Mexican team seemed to be outmatched by the powerful La Mesa team. However, Mexico's Ricardo Trevino appeared unfazed. When asked about the other team's size advantage, he replied, "We have to play them, not carry them."
It was, however, Angel Macias who carried his team to the championship. Angel later revealed that he had no idea he was throwing a perfect game, the first in Little League World Series championship history, because he was just trying to win the game. Mexico beat La Mesa 4-0 and became the first foreign team to achieve their dream of a championship. Angel struck out 11 of the 18 batters he faced. Church bells rang out while people cheered in Monterrey. The love of baseball reached new heights in Mexico.
After the stunning victory, the Monterrey team embarked on an unforgettable journey. They had a shopping spree at Macy's and met President Dwight Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon. Angel later referred to it as the greatest event of his life. He received scholarship offers and was eventually drafted by the California Angels in 1962. One of his greatest honors was being named Mexico's Athlete of the Year in 1957, an award normally reserved for adults.
As a Little League inspiration, Angel Macias reinvigorated baseball in Mexico. Monterrey won the Little League World Series again in 1958, and today the city is home to the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame.

We ask you sacred benediction for him, o ruling Lord, as he first will put on the clothing of this religious house, and the intercession of the blessed and always virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, Saint Augustine our father and of all your saints. Let your grace descend upon him, that it may protect him from all bodily or mental harm. You who live, etc.
Then the clothing and the young man are besprinkled. Upon leaving this is said by the Prior
May the Lord cast aside the many you used to be with your old actions and may you renew your spirit and your mind. Amen.
The boy says as he is leaving
May the Lord tear from my heart the pageantry of the world, which I have renounced as I took up the sacred baptism of Christ. Amen.
[]Lord, snatch me away from human evil.
[]Snatch me away from iniquitous man.
[]My God, snatch me from my enemies.
[]And free me from the evils rising in me.
[]Snatch me from the works of evil.
[]And save me from men of bloodshed.
[]Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
[]As it was in the beginning so is it and so shall it be forever and in the age of ages. Amen.
Pater noster. Ave Maria.
Meanwhile he lets himself out. With the vestiments given, the Prior says.
Take the pure vestiment, the symbol of the lord's garment. Introduce a new man who was created in God's image justly, sacredly, and truthfully in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
