Sylvia does readings over the phone by appointment only, as does her son Christopher. In some cities you can actually see her in-person for a reading - San Jose, CA; Los Angeles, CA; New York City. Simply call the main office in California at (408) 379-7070 to discuss availability of appointment dates. You may wish to visit the pages giving more information about
How accurate is Sylvia?
Very accurate, especially regarding the events that are to occur in your life. Less precise is the exact timing of those events. It is impossible to assign a percentage of correctness, and we certainly do not promise a given value. But her work is tested time and again, with each client she speaks to, and if she was not good then the clients would go away. Also see the page on
Is Christopher as good as Sylvia?
Sylvia has many more years of experience than Chris (Sylvia's psychic son), so you could say that she is "better." But the real measure of a psychic is their authenticity and genetic predisposition to excellence. Chris shares the same psychic fluke that runs through Sylvia's family line. So when you find an authentic psychic, and they can see your chart clearly, then stay with that person. So if Sylvia is the best psychic around - then Chris is the second best - which is a very good choice. Note that Sylvia can contact deceased people (spirits) and communicate with them, Chris does not.
What about those (900) lines?
Sylvia does not sponsor a (900) line, and never will. Some of them are simply a tragic scam.
Sylvia was asked to be the "celebrity psychic" for one of those operations. The money offered was very big, starting at $40,000 per week! But Sylvia asked a few important questions, like "how can I answer all those phone calls?" The producer answered that their "psychics" are just people off the street, paid minimum wage, then given a script to read back to the phone callers. Then Sylvia asked who makes most of the calls, the producer said 80% of the callers are women on welfare living in the South. Sylvia blew her top! She yelled at the producer "How do you sleep at night? Some day I must go back to God, and what am I supposed to say when asked 'How did you treat my people?' Never could I be part of such a horrid scam." She left in a huff, a big, really big huff - shouting a lot of angry "man words." One of these scam operators is even using Sylvia's name to promote their line,
Why is a reading so expensive?
Sylvia provides a first-rate service and charges accordingly. Yet she is the sole support of two organizations, with ten full-time staff members, big operation costs, and a church with 40 ministers. She earns big money but very little of it goes to her, most of it supports her efforts to bring a new Spiritual Message to the world.
I cannot afford a reading. Any alternatives?
Sylvia's son Christopher is an excellent psychic, his
Can Sylvia help find a missing person or solve a murder?
Sadly the ongoing flood of requests for help with crimes and missing persons has become impossible to manage. Sylvia is only a single person and simply cannot handle any more cases at this time.
Where does Sylvia's psychic information come from?
Sylvia works closely with God, asking God to work through her to help people. She does her best to properly translate God's information, but being human she is not always 100% clear. The other source of information comes from the individual "blueprint" each person carries into life. Sylvia can read that blueprint and reveal the events that were planned to happen during your life.

How do we live a good and Spiritual life?
Most religions have general rules to follow designed to help secure your place in heaven. We do not take that route simply because every life is unique and general rules cannot be applied to unique situations. Our measure of a Spiritual life is totally contained within the word intention. If all of your actions are done with pure intention, namely to truly help others, then you are living a morally sound and Spiritual life. Even if your actions have a negative impact, if your motive was pure, then you have not done a "wrong."
Here is a simple rule to help you decide on the right path to take in life: Firstly - realize that you will some day stand with God to review your life; Secondly - make all of your decisions and actions such that God will be proud of you on that special day. Jesus, one of the greatest teachers of all time said it simply; Love God, Love Each Other. Ensure that everything you do in life reflects these ideals and you will stand before God with pride.
Is Sylvia's church really Christian?
Actually, it is Gnostic Christian (which differs significantly from today's Christianity) because we follow the same traditions and teachings which Jesus himself followed. Recall that Jesus gave us this Spiritual Directive - Seek and you will find and Knock and it will be opened to you. These instructions tell us to use our intellect as we seek to understand God and our place in the world, hence we use the word gnostic (from the Greek word for knowledge) which means "seeker of truth."
Yet Sylvia's church does not exclude Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc. Every expression of religion is considered a valid path to knowing God. We simply feel that the gnostic path rises above all dogma and creates a Spiritual Umbrella under which all faiths can flourish.
For a more complete discussion of this topic, see
What is Sylvia's view of the Bible?
The Bible is a fascinating chronicle of the journey toward Spirituality. The Old Testament is best viewed as an analogy of the path each person will take as they perfect their soul; it takes you from creation, through war and strife, to defamation and the "dark night of the soul" - but then you come upon the wellspring of hope that lives deep within each of us. Then we have the New Testament which gives us an all to brief look at one of the world's greatest teachers, Jesus. His brilliant and moving lessons in Spirituality are as valid today as when he spoke them.
Having said that, please realize that today there are about 25 different versions of the Bible in English, so the idea of the Bible makes no sense. Each time a new version appears the text changes, the meanings can differ, and the prejudices of the authors enter into the picture. So truthfully we cannot accept that "the Bible is the unaltered word of God." And then consider that the original language of Jesus was Aramaic, in which tongue he spoke and taught. Here is a simple example of how language affects meaning: In Aramaic the word "sin" simply means "to miss the mark" (as in shooting an arrow). So ask yourself how today's understanding of "sin" became such a horrible and evil idea? When you begin to question and study and find answers, then you have begun the gnostic journey which Jesus suggested we all undertake.
How can I participate in Sylvia's Church?
Novus Spiritus does not have church buildings all over the place, we do have
How can I contact my Spirit Guide?
It is not really hard at all, and you have probably done it many times without knowing it. Do not expect to get an audible voice in your ear or to see a full form apparition of your Guide. Some people can get that level of interaction but it is very rare. The most usual experience of a contact is to feel their presence around you, or get a sudden thought-message, or even meeting them in your dream-time. For a wonderful aid to help you connect with your Guide get Sylvia's
The Bible warns against psychics.
Actually the different versions of "the" Bible use terms like "sorcerers," "witches," "fortune tellers," "soothsayers," and "astrologers." This is odd because the Old Testament is full of prophecy and predictions. Even King Saul consulted the witch of Endor to get in touch with dead Samuel, you can read it for yourself. We agree that you must exercise extreme caution when consulting a psychic, the fraud rate is very high. Stay away from the (900) lines and be aware that the number one scam by fraudulent "psychics" is the old -
What books or scripture support Sylvia's beliefs?
There are hundreds of books written during the time of Jesus that never got into the Bible we know. You may have heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls, or the Nag Hammadi Library, and many others. Such texts are just as valid as the books in the Bible, but were not included.
I am curious about the difference between Angels and Spirit Guides.
I am glad you asked this because it is confusing. A Spirit Guide is an actual person - like you and me - who had a physical life at one time then passed over to the Other Side, as we all do upon death. A Guide has their own identity and life chart just as you do. Then before you come into a life on Earth you will seek out a friend to "watch out" for you while you are in life. That friend is your Spirit Guide, and they remain on the Other Side helping and protecting you during your journey on Earth. Your Guide is always with you, they are the little voice of conscience we often hear nudging you to do the right thing or telling you to beware. I like the term used by Ruth Montgomery who called them "companions along the way."
Angels, on the other hand, are special creations made by God who never live a physical life. They all have the same appearance, tall and beautiful, but they do not speak. They also come to your side when you need help, and will always come if you simply ask God to send assistance. So if you are hearing, or even sensing, a voice then it is your Spirit Guide speaking, not an Angel.
It is a good practice to allow your Guide to read your thoughts. No Guide, nor anyone else, can read your mind until you give them permission. So simply give verbal consent to your Guide to enter your thoughts and mind. Then they are better able to help you by knowing your concerns, worries, and hidden issues. If you simply yell "Help me God" your Guide will not always know what to do, so let them into your mind and they can discern what needs to be done. Also you can easily get the name of your Guide, in dream state. As you are going to sleep tell your Guide to implant their name into your mind, then state to yourself that you will remember that name upon waking. Do this for at least three nights and you will have the name. Take your first impression, no matter how odd. Then you will have more personal chats with your Guide when you address them by name.
Does everyone have a Spirit Guide?
Yes, everyone does have a Guide. The basic pre-requisite to being a Guide is having lived a physical life. It just makes good sense for a Guide to have the actual experience of life, which is hard, before helping a friend with their life. Most of us will in-turn become Spirit Guides for others. Being a Guide adds a great deal of Spiritual Evolvement to your soul.
Do Angels have wings?
For many years I believed that the wings depicted on Angels were simply an artistic concept rather than an actual fact (my logical mind was always asking why would anyone need wings if they were in spirit form?). Yet when I was young I actually did see a vision of the most beautiful Angelic Being with very big golden wings. But then I have always had odd visions which seem to defy logic - at least until my intellect grew enough to see the bigger picture of reality. And more recently my granddaughter Angelia (also psychic) called me into a room with tall ceilings and pointed to an enormous winged Angel (yes, we both saw it). So I finally asked my Spirit Guide, named Francine, about wings on Angels. She replied that wings only appear on Archangels, not on any others. It is meant to distinguish their importance and get our attention.
Why is meditation beneficial?
For all of man's history we have tried to get into the "inner sanctum" of our soul. This is the place of calm and detached reason where the mind and soul can rest, and even give answers to the problems that face you. During meditation you can get better communication with your Spirit Guide, get healing from Angelic Beings, and strengthen your connection back to God. Even the doctors will tell you that meditation can lower blood pressure, defeat cancer, and control pain.
I have never been able to meditate and "blank" my mind.
Good for you! I do not know of anyone living in our society who can blank their mind. There is no reason to go blank anyway. Meditation is a place to let the mind flow of its own free will, but we just view those thoughts as though on a TV screen without any emotional attachment. A better technique is to mentally construct a wonderful place in your mind, and make that a destination for your meditations. Some people like a sea shore setting, where you listen to the waves while sitting against a palm tree in the warm sand. Allow the sun to gently warm your face and know that the light is actually God's hand touching you. Gently demand that all of your pain and worries drop away like sweat to be absorbed into the warm sands around you, leaving you cleansed and purified by God's love. The more often you do this the more real that special place becomes. Eventually you will be able to get there and back in five minutes, feeling refreshed and wonderful.
How do I even start meditating?
Sit in a comfortable chair, with head support if possible, or lie down somewhere. If sitting, do not cross your legs or arms, and leave your hands open with the palms facing up. First thing is to ask for your Guide to protect you and say, "In the name of God I ask for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to enter me, cleanse me, and heal me."
Now simply begin by relaxing the body one part at a time. In your mind focus on the feet, demand that they relax, then focus on the lower legs and demand that all tension and stress be gone, then up to the thighs and again demand full and complete relaxation. Do this up through the whole body demanding that all stress is relieved and every muscle group is relaxed, and ask that the White Light purge any darkness within the body, mind, and soul. Do not forget to relax the neck, face, and brain. Be sure to force the White Light into your mind to eliminate any trace of darkness or worry that you hold in your head.
Having done this alone is a great meditation. It only takes five minutes but you will feel like you just had a good two-hour rest. Then you can begin the journey to your special place discussed above to rejuvenate the soul.
Is the after-life a real place? Why does science say that Near Death Experiences are nothing more than a lack of oxygen to the brain?
I personally had a death experience at age 42 during surgery. I went through the "tunnel" and saw my beloved grandmother. But I came back to complete my work for God. My short visit to the Other Side was not due to oxygen depravation, it was an allergic shock from the anesthetic given to me. Just before "going out" I said to the doctor, "I think I'm dying..." and then was gone. The entire trip lasted two minutes, with plenty of oxygen getting to my brain the whole time. So that is my personal viewpoint from actual experience. I wonder if any of the critics have ever gone through the actual event? Generally not.
Now from a common sense perspective. The lack of oxygen theory does not hold water due to the fact that everyone having an NDE reports seeing similar places and experiencing similar events. This tells us that an NDE is an external reality that the soul goes to, not some internal jumble of personal experiences that a confused brain elaborates upon. Now for an actual experience with lack of oxygen talk to a person who has ever fainted. Mostly they simply black out, with no experience at all, yet their experience really is due to oxygen depravation.
And a final note, people from all religions report the same visions and experiences during an NDE; which again shows that personal viewpoints and predilections are not a factor in NDE.
Is Heaven simply a place of peaceful existence?
While every soul is certainly peaceful we do not just sit on a cloud with a harp and stare at God. How boring that would be, for us and for God. The Other Side has libraries, music, arts, literature, research centers, gardens (no bugs), animals - if you love it then it is there. Everyone has their full identity, their likes and dislikes, a love for learning, and we continue growing in knowledge of God and to perfect our soul. The most glorious aspect of Heaven is that we are always within the presence of God.
Since the Other Side is so wonderful why do we leave it?
The very reason that we leave Heaven is due to it being so perfect and wonderful. To truly test the mettle of your soul you must go to a non-perfect place. The Earth is one such testing ground for your soul. Any physical life is difficult because we a not with our loved ones and we feel separated from God. We design our life in great detail to help us learn for God and to gain perfection for our soul. The physical world is a place for us to learn harsh lessons and be faced with the decisions regarding "right and wrong." You simply cannot experience those lessons while in Heaven, or it wouldn't be Heaven.
The death of Princess Diana
Sylvia did not foresee the tragic death of Di. Simply put, God did not provide this knowledge to Sylvia, for reasons only known by Them. Sylvia has always had an explicit contract with God - "let me know only those things which I must pass on to others, even if it is bad news, but promise me that they need to know that news and that it creates more healing than harm."
How does a curse work?
They work solely through the imagination of the believer, they have no power other than that allowed by the "victim." In other words - there is no such thing as a curse! But curses are very big business even today. The scam usually goes like this: You go to a fortune teller (or whatever they call themselves) for a $5 reading. After you tell them about your life, and your various hardships, this person discovers the cause of all your troubles - You Are Cursed! Then, as luck would have it, this person is an expert at removing curses, a simple process of lighting some candles, but they are very special candles which cost about $80 each. It takes many, many of these candles to really fix the problem (a negotiable number, bigger number means more success). Of course, the entire deal must be cash only and kept secret. Please, turn these people in to your local police.
We can prove that curses do not work. Sylvia has gone on TV many times and blasted those charlatans. She was even on a show for an hour with woman who practices black magic (complete with human wax figures, big pins, etc) and for the whole show Sylvia gave her holy hell! So you know that there are a lot of Sylvia dolls with pins sticking in them, but she keeps on going, and going, and going ...
When Sylvia sees a spirit, what exactly does she see and hear?
There are three types of apparition: (1) an earthbound ghost (that is, one who did not make it to the Other Side); (2) a spirit residing on the Other Side (who is just visiting); and (3) a psychic vortex which is an imprint of events in the past. The easiest apparition to see is an earthbound because they are still attached to our world and have not yet attained the spiritual body. For Sylvia, an earthbound looks as full and real as a living person, and she can hear their words with fair clarity (like a faint voice on a very bad phone connection). A spirit just visiting is much less clear and has a filmy look, semi-transparent, and almost no voice presence. They often use gestures and pantomime to get messages to Sylvia. The exception is a communicating guide, such as Sylvia's guide Francine, who trained for a long time to enable verbal interaction with Sylvia. But even with that Francine sounds like a high-pitched, fast talking chipmunk. Lastly, a psychic vortex has no real people with whom to communicate. It is like a swirling jumble of images, sounds, feelings, and (usually) pain/sorrow/fear. Such places are not really hauntings, they just carry lots of psychic power which has left an imprint on the world.
Some people do not make it to the Other Side?
The vast majority of people make the transition to the Other Side upon their "death." There are some folks who do not go right away, but in the fullness of God's time they will, of course, make it eventually. Those who do not make it are called "earthbound," meaning they are still bound to the earth and have not gone into spirit. Generally this is caused by not realizing you are dead, or some unfinished business you want to complete, or massive disorientation of the mind. Another cause is not feeling worthy of meeting God, being afraid of God, or being convinced you are damned to hell.
Loved ones who die, do they become Guardian Angels?
Your loved ones will certainly come around you and help in any way they can. They are not actually angels which are a separate creation of God. But if you call upon them at night, ask them to visit you in dream state, they will come. And if you feel their presence then they are around you, talk to them! Tell them what you need, ask them to make things right, and give them errands and little jobs to help your life.
Is suicide wrong?
Suicide violates your contract with God. And nobody gets away with that! The deal is that you agreed to experience life in many facets, including the hard parts. Since your soul really wants to make good on your agreement with God, then you will do what is necessary to fulfill the contract. If you take your own life, then you will immediately be placed back into an unborn baby and begin the process again. The catch is that you will again face the same situations, the same problems, and the same pain - over and over again until you get it right. The best advice is that since you have made it this far already, keep on going - just as it is - rather than start all over again.
Is homosexuality wrong?
No, it is "charted" (that is, you decided on it prior to incarnating) as something to experience in this life. Just as you choose to be male, female, married, have children or not, etc. Often, but not always, it's like a female entity in a male body - who still feels like a female, thinks like a female, and sometimes acts like a female while still being in a male body, or vice-versa. Also some people choose a "different" life where bigotry and prejudice will be directed toward them; such as different nationalities, different religious beliefs, odd body type, etc.

Editor's take : A person buying a V8, will be the last person to be bother about the fuel efficiency of the powerhouse, same is the case of Range Rover buyers. There is also a V6 available now.
Editor's take : The power produced by the Range Rover is brutal and can be powered to a super car. The 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo diesel and the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol have sufficient grunt to make a super car ashamed of its speed. The V6 is also decently powered.
The Land Rover Range Rover comes in three different engine options. The 3.6L TDV8 diesel engine and the 4.4L TDV8 diesel engine and the 5.0L Supercharged V8 (Petrol). The 3.6L TDV8 is a longitudinal V8 with 4 valves per cylinder . It produces a maximum power of 271PS @ 4000 rpm and generates a healthy torque of 640Nm @ 2000 rpm. The 4.4L TDV8 is also a longitudinal V8 with 4 valves per cylinder. This model produces a maximum power of 313PS @ 4000 rpm and a meaty torque of 700Nm is a range of 1500-3000rpm. The 5.0L Supercharged V8 (Petrol) has a 4,999cc V8 engine that churns 510 PS of power at 6,000 - 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 625 Nm at 2,500 - 5,500 rpm. All the three engines are not just good off the road but are very sophisticated city cars as well. They perform brilliantly on almost every terrain. With the terrain response system the driver can tailor the traction control, powertrain, electronic stability and suspension systems depending upon the driving conditions. The engine is very quick and responsive and doesn't lag is moving the substantial bulk of the Land Rover Range Rover and its size. The engine is a real gem. It has plenty of torque and is surprisingly refined sounding more like petrol V8 than dirty oil burning diesel. The engine also is more environmentally friendly and gives out only 253gms/km of CO2.
Editor's take : The acceleration of both the engines is good to push you back into your seat.
The 2011 Range Rover with its newly refined engine is an out performer. The car has a top whack of 210 kmph. This is due to the better and improved gear ratios than before. 0-100kmph takes only 7.8 seconds and also the fuel efficiency is increased by 18.5% which is around 9.4 litres/100 km.
The design and looks of fourth generation Land Rover Range Rover TDV8 (Diesel) is fresh and very dynamic. The SUV has very attractive cues that make it standout amongst the crowd. The floating roof, split tail gate and clamshell bonnet are the major highlights of the car. The front grille is very stylish and has been revamped as compared to the older Range Rover models. The headlamps and the taillights seem to be inspired from Evoque. The front bumper of the car is not bulky and makes the front appear to be a single unit. The fog lamps have been restyled and amalgamate within the car design. The masculinity has also been increased in the fourth generation Range Rover as the D-pillar slope has been cut down a bit. However, one would definitely see the resemblance between the new and the older Range Rover, but the uniqueness in the new one is very alluring. Even the rear end has been refreshed as the tail lights now are LED and have been extended to C-pillar.
Editor's take : The interiors of the Range Rover are super luxurious as it gets all the bells and whistles that you would imagine. The space is phenomenal and the seats are very comfortable to sit on. There is also the long wheelbase, which is better for more legroom.
The interiors of the fourth generation Range Rover are spectacular. The car comes with new and fresh design on the inside as well. The revamped steering wheel is nice, whereas the centre console has been dipped in beige and brown trim color combo. The lower end has a nice wood finish and the usual gearstick has been replaced with a new and fresh rising gear knob. Just like Evoque, the fourth generation Range Rover also has touch screen display along with much superior leather upholstery to provide a very lush and plush ambiance to the car.
The comfort features in fourth generation 2012 Land Rover Range Rover are top class. JLR has put in a lot of hard work and made its interiors high in terms of comfort. The new touch screen display taken from Evoque is very impressive , while the rising gear knob provides utmost comfort to the driver during the driver. The rear seat come with luxury seating package that would provide the passengers will ultimate luxury feel. On the infotainment front, the SUV comes with Meridian surround sound music system along with well spread high quality speakers. The Meridian audio system installed here comes with 3 packages accompanied by 1700W and 27 speakers. The other comfort features of this new SUV comprise of multi-functional power steering wheel, power windows, automatic air conditioning system with heater, adjustable front seats and the list is long.
Editor's take : The performance of the Range Rover is phenomenal, be it the petrol or the diesel.
The fourth generation Land Rover Range Rover TDV8 (Diesel) has been launched with both engine options-diesel and petrol . The diesel variant features have new 3.0 litre of V6 diesel engine , which is capable of churning out peak power of 256BHP and 600Nm of maximum torque. The engine here has been coupled with eight speed self-shifting ZF transmission that makes sure that the car manages to deliver a humble mileage. With such luxury, less mileage can be excused here. Apart from the diesel engine, the new Range Rover also comes with 4.4litre of V8 and 5.0 litre of supercharged petrol engine. The acceleration and pickup of the fourth generation Land Rover Range Rover is just perfect. The car whooshes away with a high speed and goes from 0 to 100 km per hour in merely few seconds , which is certainly amazing.
Editor's take : The stereo and accessory list on the Range Rover is a bit too long as it gets a 1700W 27-speaker 3-D Surround Meridian music system, touchscreen, satellite navigation, seat AC, massage, fridge, recliners at the rear, TV, DVD, electrically operated tailgate.

The music can also be connected through wireless headphones. A bespoke touch sensitive remote control has been developed specially for the Land Rover Range Rover that uses resistive touch technology to choose from your favourite video/audio files.You can now buy . Great discounts available.
Editor's take : The 420kg diet of the new Range Rover has improved its handling and it handles way better than the previous generation and even the ride is good.
The fourth generation Land Rover Range Rover has been blessed with a next-gen version of Land Rover's Terrain response system that examines the current driving condition and then automatically chooses the best possible driving setting for the terrain. The on and off road ability of the SUV is exclusive that ensure reliability and durability. The car has been tested in more than 20 countries with extreme climate and road conditions. The four-corner air suspension makes the ride even better and luxurious as compared to the older Range Rover. The Halewood automotive maker have also enhances the handling of the car with the new steering wheel present. To cut down the noise levels, the new Range Rover has improved the acoustic lamination of the windscreen, side door glass and body structure.
Editor's take : The Range Rover gets all the safety features that one can expect in a German flagship.
The safety features of the new fourth generation Land Rover Range Rover are brilliant. The SUV comes jam-packed with numerous high class safety features, which not only safeguard the passengers, but also make sure that the damage to the car is very less. For the passengers, the car comes with airbags, anti lock braking system along with brake force distribution system that keeps the wheels from locking up when immediate brakes are applied. The powerful braking system will definitely add on to the safety features of the car.

Kendall Payne
BiographyThere's no doubt that Kendall Payne doesn't mind showing you when she's ticked off. The way she sings, with fire and ire in the notes she virtually blasts from her diaphragm, displays enough power and force to let you know she's not exactly a flower about to wilt. Luckily, the strength of her music never turns her songs into hissyfits or pouty displays. It's as if she's simply telling you to be on your guard, lest her restraint suddenly fail her.

So according to a combination of Google Translate and Swedish newspaper Dagbladet Magnus Paajarvi Svensson, the Oilers first round pick in last June's draft, suffered a concussion in a recent game against Carleton University (Timra's junior squad had come to Canada). Magnus is apparently "a bit dizzy sometimes but still okay." Here is his version of the hit according to Dagbladet/Google Translate:
"I came into the zone with the puck on the left, then I dropped the puck inside the blue to Marcus Johansson. A few seconds after, I get an armbagstackling in the head. Helmet and stuff flew off."
Apparently his English skills haven't yet come back in full. At any rate, Magnus is in the middle of a six-day break since the hit and, if all goes well, he's scheduled to play on Tuesday. Let's hope that Timra's doctors are more careful than the guys working for the Oilers.

Hitman: Absolution Professional Edition Announced...For Europe Only
Posted on Wednesday, April 11 @ 10:46:03 Eastern by Keri_Honea
Square Enix revealed today their Limited Professional Edition for Hitman: Absolution, scheduled to release sometime this year. Before you get too excited about this edition, be advised that this is for Europe only.
From Square Enix's announcement:
It's always possible that the Professional Edition will come stateside, but Square Enix has rarely done so in the past. I'm still bitter that I couldn't get a Crisis Core PSP to release over here.

Good professor. She is clear with the assignments, even gives examples that go along with the homework.
2301 2302
Professor Mings is by far my favorite!! She is outgoing, easy to talk to, and very helpful! I will take any class she teaches! She wants her students to pass and she will go to any length to help out her student!
Great class, attend class, you can do well. Instructor is fun and easy on the eyes
Ms. Mings was so awesome! Loved taking her class. HW was easy, labs were easy but the tests were tough, especially the multiple choice questions. She will make it enjoyable though. Always fun and energetic. "To the left, to the left". You'll understand that if you take her. :)
Really easy and good teacher. She's extremely helpful with every assignment and test. I wish there would be more teachers like her.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!! She is a nice and understanding person. She goes over powerpoint slides for notes! Hands out test reviews. As far as easy no class is easy. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY if you miss one class you will be severely behind and understanding the material on your own is that much harder if you have no experience with accounting. I RECOMMEND
Professor Mings is the best professor in the world. She is smart and good looking, a rare combination. She really cares about her students and helps them get good grades. She makes Accounting easier than it is. Hw is easy, labs are easy, and the tests are pretty easy also. It is very easy to make a A in this class. Take her if you can!
Professor Mings is off the chain..lol.Everybody can relate to her.She is funny,a little crazy but in a good way.I liked coming to her class.She is pretty and dresses well.She is very caring and really wants you to pass.You should take her.she is great and treats everyone the same
She is a great teacher with a wonderful personality. I highly recommend Mrs Mings. This is my first year in college at 36 Yrs of age and passed every exam with an A & completed the class with an A. Was it because the class was easy? No, it was because she taught me Accounting in a way that was easy to understand and it was fun.
Tough class, but wonderful professor. She cares about her students and is always willing to help. Definitely an enjoyable class as well (and who can say that about ACCT?). Take her!!!
She is a great teacher!She gives in class examples that will help you with the hw. The tests are hard, but its more the mult choice than the written problems. Do the hw, labs, and take notes.
Always in a good mood and willing to help! She never makes you feel bad for asking a question. The course material is tough but she does everything she can to help you understand it!
She is a fabulous instructor. Very helpful, fun and energetic. She gives you little sayings or tips to help you remember the accounting rules. I would take her again for 2302 if I could.
There are a lot of points in this class to make a A or B easily. HW are easy, labs are easy, but the test can be tricky because of the wording in the multiple choices. However she does give you a test review before every test so that's a plus. Overall good professor and would take her for Accounting classes!
LOVED HER! Best professor I've ever had. She was fun, perky, and super helpful. Love her so much, taking her again for Accounting II!
I loved this prof. She explained everything very clearly and knew what she was talking about. She gives easy tests and a test review with examples of what she wants. Goes straight from the book. Easy if you come to class
Had taken her course a few semesters ago. Really knowledgeable of her material that was taught. Not an expert at numbers (due to other instructors in the past) but she made it very clear to understand what we needed to know. Her tests covered all the material that was taught in class. Huge group project due end of sem that was fairly easy.
Excellent Teacher, used power point and excel to go thru the class. Made it very easy to pick up and learn.

Honda is recalling more than 800,000 minivans and SUVs in the U.S. because they can roll away even though drivers have removed the key.
The recall affects 318,000 Honda Odyssey minivans and 259,000 Pilot SUVs from the 2003 and 2004 model years. Also included are 230,000 Acura MDX SUVs from the 2003 through 2006.
Honda says a system that stops the key from being removed unless the vehicles are in park can wear out. Eventually drivers can pull out the key while the minivans and SUVs are still in gear, and they can roll off and crash.
Honda says it has received a small number of complaints about the problem, including two that caused minor injuries.
Dealers will fix the problem for free. Owners will get notices starting in February.
Acura owners will be able to call 800-382-2238 for information. Information will also be available at the Web sites www.recalls.honda.com and www.recalls.acura.com. (AP)

KAZAN, Russia, April 21. THE penultimate day of the Russian Nationals came to a close with some startlingly strong times as the Russians continued to populate its FINA World Championships roster heading to Barcelona this summer.
Evgeny Korotyshkin crushed the men's 100-meter fly finale with a sterling 51.53. That is the top-ranked swim in the world right now, beating the 51.79 put up by Chad Le Clos in South Africa yesterday. Korotyshkin's time is not far off his 51.44 to win the silver medal in the event at the 2012 London Olympics behind Michael Phelps.
Nikolay Skvortsov snuck into the second spot on the Worlds roster for Russia with a 52.07, as he edged Nikita Konovalov (52.08) by the slimmest of margins for that spot as both Skvortsov and Konovalov moved into the top five in the world this year.
Continuing his epic week of competition, the Sizzling Siberian Vlad Morozov checked in with a 21.74 to lead the way in the men's 50-meter free semis. That time is up with the top times in the world like Florent Manaudou's 21.53 and Nathan Adrian's 21.70 as well as Fred Bousquet's 21.73, and Morozov has another session to lower his time. Sergey Fesikov (22.26), and Andrey Grechin (22.34) took second and third, while Evgeny Sedov took down his Russian youth record with a 22.38.
Morozov kept the ball rolling on what has been a stunning display of versatility by winning the men's 50-meter breaststroke event with a 27.69. That swim bettered his 27.81 from semis, and nearly jumped him into the top five in the world this year, and fell just short of the Russian record of 27.34 owned by Alexander Triznov. Oleg Kostin took second in 27.95 for the second spot on the Russia Worlds roster, while Kirill Strelnikov just missed with a third-place time of 27.97.
Svetlana Knyaginino, 29, nearly popped the Russian record in the women's 50-meter free with a 25.13 in semis. That swim just missed the 25.10 shared by Natalia Meshcheriakova and Veronika Popova. Rosalia Nasretdinova touched second in 25.46 for a Russian Youth mark, while Maria Reznikova qualified third in 25.55.
Yuliya Efimova blitzed the women's 50-meter breaststroke semifinals with a top-seeded time of 30.67. Not only did that swim eclipse the FINA A cut for the event, it also nearly caught the likes of Ruta Meilutyte, who stands at the top of the world rankings with a 30.57 from the British International Meet last month. Valentina Artemyeva placed second in semis with a 31.35 to also qualify for the World Championships, while Katerine Uymenova turned in a third-seeded 32.31.
A pair of swimmers notched individual swims in Barcelona in the women's 200-meter free finale as Veronika Popova topped the field in 1:57.41 and Victoria Andreeva finished second in 1:58.54, both under the FINA A cut for the event. Elena Sokolova (1:59.88) and Ksenia Yuskova (2:00.44) placed third and fourth in the event to potentially make up the women's 800-meter freestyle relay event at Worlds.
Anastasia Zueva did what she had to do to clinch another Russian Worlds roster spot, posting a 28.50 to win the women's 50-meter back finale after a 28.57 in semis yesterday. That's not challenging the top times in the world like Fu Yuanhui's 27.22 from Chinese Nationals just yet, but Zueva has time to round into form by Barcelona. It's incredible that she's already putting up these times of times after an injury in October forced her to cut the 200 from her event slate. Daria Ustinova, the 15-year-old prodigy, took second in 28.69 to further lower her Russian Youth record of 28.75 from yesterday. Maria Gromova claimed third in 28.73.
Russian-record holder Arkady Vyatchanin clocked another FINA A cut time, this time prevailing in the men's 200-meter back with a 1:57.54. That puts Vyatchanin among the top five in the world this year, but with some serious ground to make up if he wants to contend with the likes of Ryosuke Irie (1:54.72) for the world title. Anton Anchin finished second in 1:59.09, while Dmitriy Maltsev took third in 2:00.81.
Anastasia Krapivina took home the women's 800-meter free title in 8:45.52, while Elizabeth Gorshkova placed second overall in the event with an 8:46.33. Anastasia Ivanenko rounded out the podium in the distance free event with an 8:57.63.
Yana Martynova cruised to the top time in the women's 200-meter fly semis with a 2:12.78, while Maria Novikova touched second in 2:16.81. Ajgul Sagirova wrapped up the top three in 2:17.53.

Tis the season for giving and once again Northeast will be participating in their annual 'Christmas Jar' Project. Students at Northeast will be reading and discussing "Penny's Christmas Jars Miracle", a story of a young girl who gets a whole neighborhood involved in her plan for her Christmas Jars.
Northeast fifth graders will be visiting each classroom to explain the story of the "Christmas Jars" and leave a decorated jar. Students will have the opportunity to bring spare change in order to fill their class's jar from December 3 - 21. "Northeast Elementary has 440 students," said Terrie Maloley, Counselor. "So if we all work together, we can do great things."
According to Maloley, the jars will be donated to the Kearney Cancer Center and given to a patient and his/her family. Representatives from the Cancer Center will be at the December 21 Northeast sing-a-long to accept the Christmas Jar and share how the gift will impact this family. Last year Northeast Elementary donated $1,500 through the Christmas Jar campaign.
Fifth grade student, Nolan Eatherton, is head of the Media Committee for the project. According to Eatherton, a Community Christmas Jar will be located at the Northeast Elementary office in case the Kearney community would like to participate in the project. The students also want to encourage other people to do Christmas Jar Acts on their own. "It's all about families doing community service by donating extra change, like the change in your pocket or couch cushions," he explained. "Every penny counts." Eatherton encouraged families or businesses around the community to give anonymously because '..the whole point is to give without any return.'
The students have translated the book into "kindergarten" language for the younger students. Starting Monday, December 3, the Christmas Jar committee members will be visiting all the Northeast classrooms to read the book and explain the promotion. Students will be making a video for their website and Facebook pages as well.

September 3, 2013
The Congolese army has pushed Rwanda's M23 back by about four miles in recent days, and U.N. envoy says that their success makes this a good time to negotiate. Jean-Mobert N'senga, an activist lawyer in Goma, and his group, Fight for Change, agree but say the Democratic Republic of the Congo needs to negotiate with Rwanda, not M23.
July 24, 2013
On Wednesday, July 17, Nick Long reported for the Voice of America that the Congolese army's recent successes at driving the M23 militia from their positions in eastern Congo have caused euphoria amongst Congolese, particularly in Goma, the capital city of North Kivu Province on Congo's border with Rwanda. Here's that Voice of America radio report:
July 11, 2013
Speaking in Tanzania at the end of his African tour, President Obama urged "countries neighboring the Democratic Republic of the Congo" to make peace. Congo shares borders with nine African nations, but the president declined to say which of them he was referring to. Obama spoke about the U.N. brigade at a press conference, but declined to name Rwanda and Uganda as the aggressors in eastern Congo.
March 29, 2013
This letter, signed by Diaspora Congolese women in the U.S., U.K., Belgium, France and South Africa, was delivered to Ambassador Carson on March 20. We are writing to you with regard to the current U.S. policy position on "Lasting Solution to Instability" in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which you presented on Feb. 11, 2013, at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
March 25, 2013
On Monday, March 18, major news outlets all over the world reported East African warlord Gen. Bosco Ntaganda had crossed the border from DR Congo into Rwanda and "surrendered" at the U.S. Embassy in Kigali. Rwandan American law professor Charles Kambanda spoke to KPFA about Ntaganda and why the story of his surrender is thoroughly implausible.
February 23, 2013
On Monday, Feb. 11, outgoing Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson presented an outline of the Obama administration's policy position on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The purpose of Ambassador Carson's presentation was twofold: discussing why efforts should be redoubled to bring stability to the Congo and laying out a framework for "moving forward."
December 19, 2012
The Obama administration was on the defensive about the U.S. relationship with Rwanda and its U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice at the Dec. 11, 2012, U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Two days after the hearing, Rice withdrew her name from consideration to become secretary of state. In President Obama's statement on Susan Rice, issued the same day, he praised her work but did not mention Rwanda, Uganda or Congo.
December 12, 2012
The deadly conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo continues, as leaders of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Rwandan and Ugandan M23 militia fighting in Congo gather in Uganda's capital for peace talks, which members of the Congolese political opposition are boycotting.
December 5, 2012
Over the last 16 years, more than 6 million lives have been lost in Congo – and the major perpetrators of those atrocities have been U.S. allies Rwanda and Uganda. The majority of victims have been children under the age of 5. Subsequent U.S. administrations have provided aid to the Rwandan and Ugandan regimes. The U.S. remains one of the top two donors of aid to Rwanda today.
November 24, 2012
Joseph Kabila was in Kampala Nov. 20 meeting with Rwanda's Gen. Paul Kagame and Uganda's Gen. Yoweri Museveni as the Congo city of Goma fell. Why would Kabila be in Uganda when the UN in a report by a group of experts found that M23, the army that seized Goma, was created, trained, financed and is sustained and commanded by Rwandan and Ugandan officers?
August 14, 2012
Cholera has broken out in the internally displaced persons camps growing again in eastern Congo, as Congolese people flee the war which, with backing from the Kagame regime in Kigali, Rwanda, resumed in April. The cholera outbreak has sparked fears of an epidemic. Now drenching rain is adding to the refugees' misery. U.S. Special Forces are in the region, but not to hunt for Joseph Kony. It's a military operation to secure oil and other African resources and limit Chinese access.
January 7, 2012
A U.N. report says that the USA's conflict minerals legislation, Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is increasing rather than decreasing criminality and conflict in the Congo and that Bosco Ntaganda is now in control of minerals smuggling from the Congo into Rwanda.
June 26, 2011
Are the so-called rebels furthering the aims of heads of state by shattering communities in eastern Congo, driving people into refugee camps and thus separating them from the vast resources that corporations and the major world powers are so determined to control?
November 14, 2008
I know no honest, informed Congo watchers who doubt that Gen. Laurent Nkunda and his ruthless militia are tools of the U.S. and its African proxy, Rwanda, in the imperial resource war now raging in Eastern Congo.

"Less well appointed than we would have expected"
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: January 25, 2011
Having stayed at this resort previously, but in a different vacation home, we were disappointed that this cabin was somewhat less than welcoming. There was a fireplace, but no tools (what to use for a poker?); beds to sleep more than a dozen, but room for only 6 to eat at the table together; dishes and utensils enough, but not much to cook in; toilet paper enough to last only half our stay (a problem when you're iced in after a day-long snow); a hot tub that was only tepid. For the price, we've had much better accommodations.
Manager Response:
Thanks for your feedback. The home is privately owned and furnished. We will happily pass along your suggestions to the Cabin Owner. Our website details the specifications of each cabin such as the table seating capacity and we offer additional tables and chairs for rent for larger parties in the check out screens online as well as through our reservations agent via phone. In addition, our website specifies what startup supplies are provided for free for guest convenience (such as how many toilet paper rolls per bathroom are provided as a startup supply), and we highly recommend in the driving directions to stock up on groceries and conveniences before you arrive to your cabin, just in case (like a snow storm snowing you in for example). The hot tub has a thermostat that controls temperature and one simply presses the temperature button to increase the temperature as described in the procedures in the cabin book inside the cabin. During our pre-arrival services, we verify that hot tubs are operating correctly. Its possible that the hot tub was drained, cleaned and serviced prior to your arrival and it takes several hours to heat up the cold water from a freshly cleaned hot tub. We have an after hours phone number to call with any issues but we received no calls about your concerns therefore we were not aware of them. 2011 UPDATE: Owner has added a new set of pots and pans as well as a poker set for the fireplace.

"We enjoyed being together but needed more comfort
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: March 3, 2011
Birds of a Feather is a spacious cabin, but it needs more comfortable furnishings in the den and dining area. The 6 barstool height chairs would be better if they were regular dining room chairs. We had to bring in the outdoor furniture and portable camping chairs to be able to seat everyone around the fireplace. It was nice having enough bedrooms. However, the sofa futons on the loft were uncomfortable for sleeping. The guys enjoyed the pool table. Due to rain, we were unable to take advantage of the resort activities. However, our grandchildren enjoyed the heated swimming pool at the Rec Center. They were able to use the facility without charge by using punch cards located in the back of the cabin manual. Overall, we had a great time just being together around the fireplace and cooking in the spacious kitchen. The area is beautiful, and we felt safe during our visit.
Manager Response:
Thank you for your feedback. We will pass your comments along to the private home owner for action. As detailed on the listing, and check out screens, we specify the number of dining seats available and offer additional tables and chairs to rent for larger groups. We are super happy you were able to enjoy the heated swimming pool and the spacious cabin. Thank you so much, we hope you will come back again!

"Yearly family vacation"
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: August 1, 2010
The cabin was really nice...the only down fall was the seating it was not enough seating for all of the family to eat meals together. We also had a visiting dog that wondered around the place everyday .. it was kind of scary but no harm...
Manager Response:
Thank you for your review and feedback. The home is privately owned and furnished. We have submitted a request to the Home Owner to supply additional dining solutions. Meanwhile, we offer additional folding tables and chairs for rent for larger groups. Also, we saw the dog you are referring to and have called the authorities to help find its home. Thanks so much!

"A Wonderful Thanksgiving with Family in Ellijay"
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: December 7, 2010
The Birds of a Feather cabin was a great place for our four families (10 adults and 8 children) to gather for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Since we were coming from Miami, Washington DC and atlanta, it was a great location. The cabin provided everything we needed and KZ Cabins were very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. We were all very pleased with our stay. Overall...Great!

"we had a great time"
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: June 24, 2010
we really enjoyed out stay. the only difficulty was a family member showed up before we did and couldnt get in because the gaurd said they did not have any of us on the list. When we arrived it was taken care of. we checked in on friday and they did not bring us the pool passes until monday morning, but was there very quickly that day when Cheryl found out we did not have any. I wish there was someone we could get ahold of on the nights or weekends. The house was great for the exception of the upstairs bathroom door not wanting to closes all the way and lock and you could see through the crack of the door. but other than that we were there to celebrate a wedding anniversary of 50 years and our family had just lost a loved one so it was a great time of healing together and celebration!
Manager Response:
Thanks for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay! We supply the list of guests to the Resort's security office the same day we receive the registration from the guests and as we are not affiliated with the Resort Security we can't comment on why they blocked one of your guests from entering. We have an after- hours and weekend option that is on our voicemail recording so you are able to contact us anytime 24/7. If you would have used that option over the weekend we could have resolved the pool pass problem the day you found it. The new 2010/2011 pool passes were issued by the Resort the week prior to your arrival and we had just received our batch from the Resort so we apologize for not having them there prior to your arrival. We responded to your request to look at the upstairs bathroom door the same day and sent a maintenance person to look at it who reported we'd have to contact the Builder to correct the door problem because it was a home warranty issue. Also, Thanks again, we hope you come back soon!

Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: January 9, 2012
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful New Years Eve weekend at your beautiful cabin. The cabin was comfortable enough for our large group. Unfortunately we did not get to see snow, but it was cold enough that we were able to enjoy the great fire place. The kids even loved interacting with the neighborhood dogs. We will definitely be back in the future.

Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: April 13, 2012
Our cabin stay at Birds of a Feather was very pleasant! Only problem at this cabin is the steep parking area when there are more than 3-4 cars. Also lack of a designated camp fire area. Otherwise everything else was fantastic & I would definitely recommend this cabin to others.

At Gavlak Stadium on Saturday, the National Home school Football Association wrapped up their tournament, their 5th year in Panama City Beach. The Central Virginia Disciples and the Maryland Christian Saints, the two time defending champs, playing for the National Title.
There are 70 Home school teams Nationwide, and Mike St. Denis played for one of them growing up before moving on to play at Georgia Tech. St. Denis is now program director for the tournament, and says it wasn't that long ago when home school athletes had no outlet to play.
"When I was coming up, there was no such thing as home school football in the South East that we were aware of," he says. "In the last ten years, it has grown to all these teams that we have Nationwide. It provides kids and families an opportunity that want to chose an alternative schooling lifestyle for their students, the chance to play and compete in real football."
The Disciples prevented the Saints from three-peating, winning 26-14.

Bears starters maul Chargers starters -- what we learned
Da Bears fans at Windy City Gridiron have an in-depth recap planned, so there's no need for me to re-write the wheel with a report on two Cowboys regular season opponents. Suffice to say I understand why the Cowboys scouts were high on Howie's kid Kyle Long (2013 Dallas day invite), he looked dominant tonight with the ESPN cameras and commentators focusing on his performance. If we hadn't received an offer from the 49ers to trade down I'm almost certain OG/RT Kyle Long would've been the pick over Sharif Floyd and even over Fredbeard. Cutler characteristically (he tends to do this at least once or twice per game) threw up a bad pass into double coverage of Brandon Marshall that was picked off, and the Bears got a questionable interception from Chris Conte. The real highlights were: San Diego got something from its 2nd and 3rd teamers after half time when I quit watching, and their starting offensive line looked decent run blocking for Ryan Matthews. Their pass protection however, only confirmed my suspicion that the Chargers may be looking for whomever the Cardinals castoff at tackle before Week 1. The Bears meanwhile feasted on the bad protection the whole half, forcing Phillip Rivers into one pic and a fumble (though in fairness, at least one sack looked like a coverage sack as Rivers had no where to go with the ball). And they did it without Julius Peppers or Henry Melton in the lineup. Chargers rookie receiver Keenan Allen formerly of UCLA also muffed a punt like our very own B.W. Webb did against the Raiders, resulting in the third Chargers turnover of the half. Alabama's D.J. Fluker just doesn't look like an NFL tackle to me, he's another Leonard Davis type guard. Speaking of Texas Exes, one of the few bright spots for San Diego after Ryan Matthews finished for the night was former Longhorns tailback Fozzy Whittaker. Although injuries have ripped them the last two years, Chicago looks like a team that is going to come on strong in the NFC this year. I'd be surprised if they failed to repeat their 10-6 record even with a few injuries. Even their backup QB Josh McCown looked ok though I think the Bears will be looking at the waiver wire before the season starts. Backup QB and TE are about the only weak spots I see on a Bears team that is finally putting the pieces together to compete with the Packers head to head (Marty B blocked well but otherwise was a no-show in catches). The Bears rookie LBs led by Jon Bostic were putting nasty hits on Chargers. While I know we didn't have a shot at Long once we traded down to get the pick used for Terrance Williams, the Bears 5th round tackle Jordan Mills from Louisiana Tech looked like somebody I wish Dallas had drafted as a successor to Doug Free. Mills was solid the entire half alongside Long on the right side of the Bears line. Our old friend Tony Fiammetta was also in his old form blocking for Michael Bush. Of course, the Bears' first teamers' performance should be balanced with the fact that the Chargers pass rush, offensive line, special teams and secondary are a mess right now in spite of Eric Weddle's formidable presence. I think if healthy Romo and company can put 34 points on this Chargers defense which has been hamstrung by the loss of Melvin Ingram for the season. On offense Rivers was missing his starters, ex-Rams receiver Denario Alexander (ACL tear, done for the year) and Malcolm Floyd (supposed to be back for the regular season). Chargers slot man Vincent Brown is coming off an injury he suffered against Dallas in the preseason last year, and even Pro Bowler Antonio Gates had a case of the drops. Overall, I think San Diego is going to be drafting top ten if not top seven come April 2014 unless a bunch of unheralded guys can overcome the injuries to their key starters. If there's one team the rebuilding Raiders have the potential to put a whupping on it's their division rivals the Chargers. Chicago meanwhile is going to give us one hell of a game in December in their house, that might actually be an L unless we find a way to force Cutler into a lot of mistakes. The Bears look like a real playoff contender albeit one whose offense is still overly dependent on Brandon Marshall. Of course, I'll be curious to see how they do in Week 1 against a tough Bengals defense. if there's any defensive coordinator that can figure out how to bait Cutler into INTs and exploit his tunnel vision for Marshall, it's Mike Zimmer.

I saw this about our opposition tonight "Padres outfielder Will Venable is one of just eight players in the Major Leagues this season to have at least 10 home runs and 19 stolen bases. "
McCutchen is only 1HR away (9HR/22SB) away from joing this club. Tabata (if he had started the season in the ML) might also have been a member. Also Cedeno (6HR/10SB) has any outside shot at joining this club. G. Jones has the HRs (16) but has slowed down from last year in SB (6).
As a real aside, John Raynor's line (AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS) with the Marlins AAA team is .283/.362/.350/.712 with 0 HR and 2 SB. He might have been hurt because he has only been in 20 games and had 60ABs.

The Delhomme Connection
On Sunday, JaMarcus Russell became the second quarterback in the past 14 seasons to throw at least 20 passes, complete less than 30 percent and still win a game. The other QB was the Panthers' Jake Delhomme, who went 7-27 with 1 TD and 4 INTs against the Raiders last season and still eeked out a 17-6 win over the Andrew Walter-led Raiders. Weird that the Raiders would be involved in both those games.

Two Chinese sailors died and six are believed to be missing after their boat sank in the Pacific Ocean, rescuers from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in southern Arizona said Sunday.
A Venezuelan fishing boat reported finding 11 sailors floating in a raft Friday afternoon, said Maj. Sarah Schwennesen.
The Venezuelan crew said four sailors were badly burned and two later died of their injuries.
She said the sailors were burned in either a fire or explosion.
Seven of the Chinese fishermen were in good condition and were transferred, along with the bodies of their two fellow sailors, to a Chinese-flagged ship in the area.
Schwennesen said airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group treated the sailors Saturday and into the night.
The 563rd Rescue Group deployed two Combat King II aircraft, three HH-60 Pavehawk helicopters and 10 Guardian Angel Personnel, with 38 Airmen from the 48th, 79th and 55th Rescue Squadrons.
The pararescue airmen flew for nearly 11 hours and then parachuted into the ocean along with two inflatable zodiac boats and medical equipment to deliver lifesaving care.
"At first glance before I parachuted down into the Pacific Ocean, my only thought was that others may live," said Staff Sgt. Chris Peters.
The mission was controlled by the 563rd RQG Operations Center at Davis-Monthan AFB.
"The Operations Center is essential to executing missions safely and effectively," said 563rd RQG Commander Col. Sean Choquette.
"We can gather the pertinent information on medical needs of patients, flight monitor, coordinate with country teams, in addition to command and controlling of rescue assets," Choquette said.
The sailors will be hoisted onto helicopters Monday and flown to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, 1,100 nautical miles east of the Venezuelan vessel.
They will then be taken to a burn unit in La Jolla, CA.
