Excellent value. Relieved at the end of a long day of driving home from family vacation to find a large room with places for all of the baby items. Our child was very pleased, which means we were all happy.
The freezer of the refrigerator made unusually loud noises the entire night. Would have unplugged it, but needed it for the child's foodstuff.

Entering the hotel is like stepping back in time. All the furnishings, the décor, and the ambiance call back to a more genteel time. Even down to the worn chenille bedspread and hand made quilt. We are used to traveling using "modern" motel chains. This was a pleasant break. And since it was our wedding night after 34 years of being together and finally being able to legally celebrate our love, it was especially appreciated. The staff was wonderful.

ZACK Bathroom Accessories 19.7" Shelf
Not Very Strong
Jude from Pulaski VA– Verified Buyer
We own a lot of ZACK products and cannot find better quality than it offers. Unfortunately, this shelf is a little shaky. This is due to the way it's brackets attach to the wall. The brackets are long, but the screw mechanisms for attaching them are short. This lack of support makes the shelf a little unsteady. We also have the Fresco bathroom shelf, which is so sturdy you could almost stand on it!

5:21 PM PT -- A rep for the D.A.'s office tells TMZ ... "The District Attorney's Office received no evidence that any jewelry, including watches, was taken."
"The evidence presented to us ... was valued at $6,400 and included $3,000 in cash, four pairs of sunglasses, an iPod and keys to two cars and a house."
It's now clear ... the initial theft complaint, which included $100,000 worth of watches and sunglasses, never made its way to the D.A.'s office.
Lindsay Lohan will not be prosecuted by the L.A. County District Attorney for stealing more than $100,000 worth of watches and sunglasses from a Hollywood Hills home -- TMZ has learned the D.A. just rejected the case.
According to the D.A.'s charge evaluation worksheet, there is insufficient evidence to bring a burglary charge against the actress.
According to the D.A., Lindsay and Sam Magid -- the rich guy who owns the house that was allegedly burglarized -- have had a "longstanding relationship."
The D.A. claims Sam did not identify Lindsay as a suspect and the "potential eyewitnesses have refused to become involved."
Additionally, none of the suspects were found in possession of the stolen property.
Lindsay's assistant Gavin Doyle will also not face prosecution.
I think the DA has the Hotts for Lilo. i bet he keeps her playboy pics in his desk, he looks at her 100 times a day and his mouth waters, his tongue hangs out, and he shoots a wad in his underwear. LOL
File this whole day under the "Bich Please" category!
KETJO was right about the whole thing!
Yep..Lipstick, pearls and smiles. You Californians need to do something about the Los Angeles DA.
Now I know who stole the "get out of jail free" cards out of my Monopoly game.
She needs help! why aren't any of her PR trying to get her help? If the studios and movie people insist on professional help or NO WORK!!!
This trick could commit murder and get away with it!
The black guy did it, right Linds?
Lindsay's law is different.
Is anybody really surprised? Just took a quick look at the earlier stories. So Linds was at various points blaming the Knight kid, Ambien (which everybody takes at parties now?), her fear of burglars, and her need for prayers?!?
Obviously somebody got the point that the loot was too pritoreador they were risking real prison time... My guess is that "the Knight kid's" story was the correct one, although I imagine everybody directly involved but Linds were ready to sing like little birdies.
I hope gangster rappers pop a cap in Lilo.
"Lindsay confessed she was on Ambien at the time she hid the jewelry and was hazy about exactly what happened." why is she using Ambien for recreation? She is a drug addict, kleptomaniac, crap driver & liar -- pure & simple.
I would just die laughing if this guy turns out fat and ugly. THEN insisting on her marrying him. Now THAT would be justice. ROFLMAO
Please, please TMZ I'm begging you, stop with the Lohan crap. She's a kid who hasn't made a relevant contribution to show business in years, yet you report on her like she's Meryl Streep.
Lindsay Lohan = SLAG
Blow jobs FOREVAH!!!!
My next question is, when is Sam Magid going to be prosecuted for filing a false report and wasting the time of law enforcement and our tax money?

Last week, I published an op-ed in US News & World Report that touched on rape culture activism and sexual assault policies on campuses. My argument was simple: 1) the statistics used to bolster the claim that campus rape is an "epidemic" are untrustworthy; and 2) allowing these activists to have unchecked influence will further compromise the rights of the accused. As a graduate of Duke University, where several lacrosse players were falsely accused, I am keenly aware of what can go wrong when zealotry prevails.
The response from readers, including several scholars and researchers, was overwhelmingly positive. The notable exception was Erin Gloria Ryan at Jezebel. In an article entitled "'Rape Culture' is just Drunk College Sluts Lying, says Major Magazine," she accused me of attacking rape victims. Never mind that I never implied that any victims of rape lied (with the exception of a case in North Dakota, in which I reported that the police determined an accuser had filed a false report) and said not a word about alcohol. As I read Ryan's screed, it occurred to me that she might be talking about some other article. The fact that she referred to me by the wrong last name added to the confusion—an error they later fixed without any indication of a correction. Fervent Jezebel readers, many relying on Ryan's caricature, proceeded to bombard me with insults, calling me a "rape-denying harpy," "disgustingly anti-woman," and a "small-town bigot"—among many other choice epithets.
There's so much wrong with Ryan's rant, it's hard to know where to begin. I'll start with the research.
The "1 in 5 college women will be raped" claim has been repeated so many times, it has become a dogma to sexual assault activists. Activists cling to this statistic and build movements around it despite the fact that it has been discredited many times. As far back as the early 1990s, scholars and journalists showed that the advocacy research surrounding campus sexual assault was methodologically flawed. It is beyond the scope of my op-ed to delve into all of the flawed research, but for more in-depth explanation, see here, here, and here. (And if you are going to contest my analysis, please read these links.)
Because of the serious flaws in the advocacy research, Department of Justice estimates are the best and perhaps only reliable source for assessing the prevalence of sexual assault. Ryan criticizes my use of the "Violent Victimization of College Students" report because she says that most victims she knows don't describe their attacks as "violent." Apparently, she got confused by the report's title and failed to actually look at it. The report in fact specifies that sexual assaults "may or may not involve force" (emphasis added). The BJS's definition includes "attacks or attempted attacks generally involving unwanted sexual contact between victim and offender," including "verbal threats." As I explain, this comprehensive survey of sexual assault occurrences on college campuses (mandated by the Violence Against Women Act, no less) puts the rate at one victimization per forty women. That is still a tragedy to be sure, but it's a far cry from the "1 in 5" mantra.
Ohio University, mentioned in my piece for its anti-rape culture movement, has 11,052 female students. If one in five of those students was a victim of rape at some point over the course of four years, that would mean that approximately 553 females are being raped each year on that campus alone. Yet the Ohio University Police Department reports that in 2012, there were only 7 reports of rape or other sex crimes. Of course, sexual assault is among the most underreported of crimes. It's also possible, as activists allege, that universities underreport crime data. But these facts are unlikely to fully account for this massive discrepancy. As Canadian columnist Margaret Wente recently wrote in The Globe and Mail, "[S]uch an astronomical number of serious unreported sex crimes would require a near-universal conspiracy of silence." AEI's Christina Hoff Sommers has noted that if sexual assault advocacy statistics were true, the prevalence of sex crimes in the US would be comparable to that of the war-stricken Congo.
Of course, we must protect victims of sexual assault and confront cultural forces that contribute to its incidence. I never implied—nor do I believe—that sexual assault on college campuses is not a very serious problem. But victims of violence will be best served by good research and accurate statistics. It does no service to victims to promote inflated statistics and impulsively attack any person who presents contrary information as a "rape denier." We owe it to victims to have sound and informed procedures for investigating cases of sexual misconduct on campuses. For that, sound research is essential.
Next, a word about the falsely accused. A common response from Ryan and Jezebel's disciples has been that the number of men falsely accused of sexual assault is minuscule in comparison to the number of assaults that go unpunished. They interpret any defense of the rights of the accused as victim-blaming.
Contrary to Ryan's characterization, I did not say or imply that "across the country, poor men are being kicked out of college in droves." What I actually said is that campus tribunals fail to provide the procedural safeguards necessary to protect students from false accusations. Though Ryan seems not to care, research shows that false accusations may be more common than gender activists realize. In an excellent review of the literature, Rachael Larimore and Yale Law School's Emily Bazelon explain that the research surrounding false accusations varies widely in its estimates, but most credible studies converge around a rate of 8% to 10% for false reports of rape. False accusations may or may not be rampant, but they are certainly not trivial. And if we continue to promote policies aimed solely at protecting the rights of the accuser without protections for the accused, wrongful convictions will become much more likely.
The activists' lack of concern for those falsely accused is troubling. Discussions surrounding sexual assault policies should not be based on a numbers game of false accusations vs. unreported victimizations. We should be focused on ensuring justice and basic fairness for all students. Sexual assault activists may not like it, but our country upholds the presumption of innocence as one of the central tenets of the justice system. To say that young men accused of sexual assault should be guaranteed due process by no means implicates victims.
It's not easy for campus judiciaries to find the correct balance between protecting the rights of the accused and cultivating a safe environment for victims of sexual assault. There needs to be more civil discussion on how to fix the way universities respond to cases of sexual misconduct, and it needs to be informed by a commitment to protecting the rights of both parties.
Unfortunately, hardline gender activists have created a hostile environment for reasoned discussion. They prefer to shout "victim blamer!" and "rape apologist!" whenever they encounter a perspective that does not further their victim agenda. Many social scientists hesitate to broach the topic at all because of the moral fervor and stridency of the activists. But the fervor and stridency are getting in the way of reason and compassion—for both victims and the accused. That has to change.
I urge everyone to read my analysis with an open mind and explore some of the hyperlinks backing up my claims. If you can find any part where I say or even imply that sexual assault is ever in a girl's "jungle-juice addled slutty imagination," then Jezebel: you win.

The taunts of "Cue-to, Cue-to," were meant to rattle the Reds' ace into repeating his faltering start in October's Wild Card Game that included Cueto accidentally dropping a ball while on the mound.
"Yes, I heard it. All I can do is just laugh," Cueto said via translator. "That's their job, the fans doing that. It's part of the past."
"It feels good when you throw good against the same team the way I did," Cueto said. "All of my pitches were down. Everything was down and everything was under control except for a few pitches I could not control."
Edinson Volquez the starter for the Pirates tonight, was Cueto's best friend on the Reds from 2008-11, gave up only the two runs and five hits over seven innings with one walk, a hit batter and three strikeouts.
"We're really good friends, but he has to do his job and I have to do mine," Cueto said. "Thank God I won that battle against him."
"The ball was close to the line. He had to make a good throw because I had momentum," said Pena, who also caught Cueto's previous start. "I was trying to get something going. They called me out. No disrespect to anybody, but I didn't feel his glove at all."
"We were in a little cat-and-mouse game there with the pitcher up, we had [Sean] Marshall in the bullpen and [Roger] Bernadina so we weren't sure if they would pitch to Zack," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "That's a real tough spot to be in. You know they can pitch you tough hitting in the eighth spot with the pitcher on deck or a pinch-hitter. Volquez did. He made some really good pitches to him. Zack hit one of those good pitches down the line for the double and it ended up being a huge impact play for us."
"It was consistent with what he was doing all night, and that was getting ground balls," Price said. "It was absolutely huge because they were getting ready to turn that lineup over again and we got the double play. It really set things up nicely for the ninth."
"Johnny has done some really great things for himself as a young pitcher in this league and he's still a young pitcher," Price said.

UPDATE: Laurent Robinson was signed by the Cowboys early Wednesday morning. FB Tony Fiammetta, who was just acquired on Sunday, was cut in order to make room for Robinson on the roster.
Former Ram wideout Laurent Robinson will work-out for the Dallas Cowboys today. The 4th year veteran from Illinois State played in 14 games last season. He recorded 34 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns.
Robinson began his career with Atlanta. In his rookie season, he recorded 37 receptions with 437 yards and one touchdown. But his last three years in the league have been fraught with injury and inconsistency. Between 2008-2010, the former third round pick played in just nine games.
Robinson was traded to the Rams in 2009, where he was instantly named a starter. He was leading the team in receiving with 13 receptions for 167 until Week 3, when he broke his fibula. Robinson was placed on Injured Reserve and missed the rest of that season.
Despite the injury, Robinson was made a Rams' starter again the following year. But he was clearly not 100%. Robinson seemed to have lost a step and struggled with dropped balls. He was also hobbled by a foot injury. Robinson was targeted 75 times last year. He only recorded 34 receptions.
During this year's NFL lockout, Robinson worked out with Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald. He said he's never felt better. In August, he was signed by the Chargers. Despite catching six passes for 120 yards in the preseason finale, Robinson was released over the weekend.
Robinson believes that he is finally healthy and ready for a breakout season. He has a lot of upside and would bring some added veteran experience to our young receiver core. If he can fight off the injury bug, he could make a good 3rd wide receiver for Dallas. Unfortunately, that is one big "if".

Posts tagged bodyboarding
"I just wanted to get a bomb and was really enjoying the ride," says bodyboarder Chase O'Leary of catching this six-foot wave during the Shark Island Challenge, in June 2011, near Sydney, Australia. "But I didn't read the wave properly, hence why I got smashed into the reef." Surfing's little brother, bodyboarding is a sport that's growing up. "There's been a real boom in the younger generation—not just in Australia but around the world," says O'Leary, 19, who has been bodyboarding for nine years. "People see it as a more functional way of riding a wave than surfing. Once you start to get the hang of it, it becomes addictive."

Flash cards are great study tools that everyone probably remembers using at some point in their academic career. Pre-made flashcards are available for common subjects, but they can be pricey and might not cover everything you need. If you're studying something less common, they might not even exist. Making your own flashcards is tedious and time-consuming. The answer to this dilemma is a flash card maker.
Flash card makers are generally computer applications or websites that allow the user to make their own flash cards and then either print them out or use them on some kind of electronic media device. Some flash card makers have made them available in an iPod format, so that instead of carrying around a stack of flashcards, you can study them on your iPod.
Many flash card makers allow the user to import data from a set, such as list of study words or a glossary of definitions. They also allow the user to make custom flash cards, which is good for when the set of data is not computerized, or if a student knows they need to study one thing more than another.
A lot of these websites also have a function so that users can share their flash cards, once they're done. Teachers can make and post flash cards for students to print out or study online, and students in the same class can share the flashcards they made for themselves. Parents can make flash cards for their children in subjects they are struggling with, as well.
Flash cards can be formatted by the software into different printable sizes. Of course, if the student is reading them on his or her iPod, they'll all be the same size, but if the student plans to print them out, they can make more or fewer flash cards fit on a piece of paper. Bigger flashcards could be useful for those with visual difficulties, or for longer passages of text. Smaller flashcards enable more to be made on one sheet of paper, and make a smaller stack of cards to carry.
Images can also be printed onto the flashcard at some websites, to make for more interesting study tools. These backgrounds might include concrete images like a sunset, or more abstract border art. Either way, they make studying a little more exciting for the student.
Some flash card making websites also have additional academic content, such as games and study material for the subject. Although there may be downloadable and CD-ROM software for sale, there are multiple online flash card making websites that are free to use. Some are supported by advertising, and some by donations.
Making your own flashcards has a lot of things to recommend it, and there are a lot of free ways to do it. So, the next time you're faced with a studying situation and you can't imagine hand-writing all four hundred vocabulary words for the semester, turn on your computer a find a free website to do it for you.

Welcome To The West
Blocker was born Bobby Don Blocker in De Kalb in East Texas, the son of Mary (née Davis) and Ora Shack Blocker. His family moved to O'Donnell, located in both Lynn and Dawson counties near Lubbock in West Texas, soon after his birth. He attended Texas Military Institute. He played football at Hardin-Simmons University in 1946, and later graduated from Sul Ross State Teacher's College in Alpine, where he earned a master's degree in the dramatic arts. (Although the "Hoss" character on
was conceived initially as lovable but slow-witted, Blocker was the only cast member with an advanced degree.)
Blocker was a high school English and drama teacher in Sonora, Texas, was a six grade teacher and coach at Eddy Elementary School in Carlsbad, New Mexico and a teacher in California. He reportedly worked as a rodeo performer and as a bouncer in a beer joint while a student. By all accounts he is remembered from his school days for his size of 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) and weight of 300 pounds (136 kg), and as being good-natured despite his intimidating size.
In 1957, Blocker appeared in a
Three Stooges
short, Outer Space Jitters, having portrayed the part of "The Goon," billed as "Don Blocker". Also in 1957 he appeared in episodes of the David Dortort-produced TV series The Restless Gun as a blacksmith and an oafish mute. In 1958 he played a prison guard and later a recurring role as Tiny Budinger in the TV series Cimarron City. He also was seen in a 1958 episode of
Walt Disney
, "The Señorita Makes a Choice". Also in 1957, Blocker appeared as a bartender in an episode of the syndicated western-themed crime drama Sheriff of Cochise, starring John Bromfield.
In 1959, as
was beginning, Blocker guest-starred in an episode of the
Keenan Wynn
and Bob Mathias NBC series The Troubleshooters, an adventure program about unusual events surrounding an international construction company. In 1968, Blocker starred with
Frank Sinatra
in the "Tony Rome" film sequel Lady In Cement.
Blocker played the outgoing "middle son" Hoss on the long-running NBC television series,
. The actor who played his elder brother Adam,
Pernell Roberts
, was born a scant seven months before Blocker. Blocker said he portrayed the Hoss character with a Stephen Grellet excerpt in mind: "We shall pass this way on Earth but once, if there is any kindness we can show, or good act we can do, let us do it now, for we will never pass this way again."
Stanley Kubrick attempted to cast Blocker in his film Dr. Strangelove, after Peter Sellers elected not to add the role of Major T.J. "King" Kong to his multiple other roles, but according to the film's co-writer, Terry Southern, Blocker's agent rejected the script. The role subsequently went to
Slim Pickens
Director Robert Altman befriended Blocker while directing episodes of
. Years later, he cast Blocker as Roger Wade in The Long Goodbye. Unfortunately, Blocker died before filming commenced. The role went to Sterling Hayden and the film was dedicated to Blocker.
Blocker received partial ownership in a successful chain of Ponderosa/Bonanza Steakhouse restaurants in exchange for serving (in character as Hoss) as their commercial spokesman and making personal appearances at franchises.
Fame frightens me; it truly does, perhaps because I wasn't expecting it. I feel like I have a tiger by the tail. I'm in this business for the money. I need money, like anyone else, because I want to give to my wife and kids a good home and a good life. It's what any man wants to do for his family. Hell, man, I'm just an ordinary guy.
Dan Blocker
The Long Goodbye (1973) is dedicated to Dan Blocker. Robert Altman, who had directed many early episodes of "
" (1959), and had become friends with him, had originally cast him in the role of Roger Wade. However, Blocker died before filming commenced, so the role was subsequently filled by Sterling Hayden.

Blocker was drafted into the Army and served in the Korean War as a First Sergeant. He later married Dolphia Parker, whom he had met while a student at Sul Ross State. All of their four children's names begin with a 'D': actor Dirk Blocker, producer David Blocker and twin daughters Debra Lee (artist) and Danna Lynn.
A Free Methodist, Blocker was among Hollywood celebrities who supported Pat Brown's re-election as Governor of California (opposing Ronald Reagan's candidacy) in 1966, and then U.S. Senator Eugene J. McCarthy for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968. Blocker later supported the eventual Democratic Party nominee, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey from Minnesota, for the presidency against the Republican Richard M. Nixon. Blocker so opposed the Vietnam War that he uprooted his family in 1968 and moved them to Lugene Switzerland ("Bonanza: Scenery of the Ponderosa: Episode Guide- Season 14"). He kept a house in Inglewood, California and commuted to NBC. His 6,000-square foot Tudor style mansion in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles is currently owned by Rob Zombie.
Blocker once owned an authentic 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 (with the sought-after Z16 option) as Chevrolet was the commercial sponsor of the show. His Chevelle, now in private hands, is sometimes displayed in car shows. He was also the owner of a 1965 Huffaker Genie MK10 race car, nicknamed the "Vinegaroon." The car was run by Nickey Chevrolet in the 1965 and 1966 U.S. Road Racing Championship series, as well as the 1966 Can-Am championship.
On May 13, 1972, in Los Angeles, Blocker died suddenly following routine gall bladder surgery, of a pulmonary embolism (essentially, a post-op blood-clot to the lungs). The cast and crew of
were shaken by his death, and the writers took the then-unusual step of referencing a major character's death in the show's storyline that autumn.
lasted another season, but the final season in which Blocker did not appear is the least-requested in reruns.
Blocker's remains are buried in a family plot in DeKalb, although he lived there only briefly. The common gravesite is marked by a plain stone with the name "BLOCKER" engraved, and three family members are buried beside him.
Had four children: Debra Lee, Danna Lynn, David Blocker, and Dirk Blocker.
O'Donnell is located in the panhandle of West Texas, about 40 miles south of Lubbock, Texas. There is a museum located in O'Donnell dedicated to Mr. Blocker.
Father of producer David Blocker and actor Dirk Blocker.
Father of identical twin daughters, Danna and Debra.
Interred at DeKalb Cemetery, DeKalb, Texas, USA.
Started and owned the Bonanza steak house restaurant chain.
Attended and played football for Sul Ross State College, Alpine, Texas, graduating in 1950.
All of his children studied karate under
Chuck Norris
Blocker was approached to play Major "King" Kong in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) after Peter Sellers was injured. However, according to Terry Southern (co-writer), Blocker's agent rejected the script as being "too pinko".
Best remembered by the public for his role as Hoss on "
" (1959).
Taught high school in West Texas before becoming an actor.
With some repertory theater experience at the time, the Korean War interrupted his fledgling career. He instead returned to teaching school after his military discharge and went to work on his Ph.D at the University of Calfornia in Los Angeles. Finances were a problem at the time and it was then that he fell back into acting and found TV work.
Made his Broadway debut as part of the ensemble cast of Louis Calhern's "King Lear," which opened on Christmas Day in 1950, which was Monday, December 25th, 1950.
Received his first taste of theater life at college when the drama club was performing "Arsenic and Old Lace", and needed someone to pack up the bodies from the cellar for the play's curtain call.
Hardly the romancer, one touching, acclaimed "
" episode had his Hoss character fall in love with a beautiful girl, played by Inger Stevens.
Once was considered for a lead role in the movie MASH (1970).
Former schoolteacher.
Served in the Korean War, a first sergeant with the 45th Oklahoma Division.
Attended Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene and played football. After that he entered Sul-Ross State College on a football scholarship, and was an amateur boxer. While at Sul-Ross he not only won the 1949 Best College Acting award for his portrayal of De Lawd in a production of "Green Pastures," but met his future wife, Dolphia Lee Parker, originally from Alpine, Texas.
Was enrolled at the Texas Military Institute in San Antonio when he was 13 years old and weighed 200 lbs.
Father was a poor Texas farmer who lost the farm after the Depression. His father later went into the grocery business.
His weight was 14 lbs, at birth, on Monday, December 10th, 1928.
He was an activist Liberal Democrat and a staunch opponent of the Vietnam War.
Taught history in Sonora high school with my grandfather in 1953~58, appeared in a school play there where he played a bride at the alter and my grandfather was the minister. I had a school annual for years he had signed. Sonora, Texas is located on I-10 in west Texas and is about 2000 people today.
Took his family on a summer vacation by car from Sonora to Hollywood and was discovered, while making phone calls in a sidewalk phone booth and dressed in western, wearing heeled cowboy boots, with spurs, on them, a gaudy western shirt and a big straw cowboy hat. His wife and kids were sitting in the station wagon parked at the curb, when he was noticed by an agent.
[My father once told me] 'Son, the rate you're growing you're going to be one helluva big fella. If you use your size and strength properly it can be a wonderful thing for you. If you don't Heaven help you. One day you'll start pushing some little guy around and he'll pull a gun and blow your brains out.'
Being big has its advantages, especially when you're doing the rounds of the agents' offices. They don't forget you in a hurry. But it has its disadvantages too, you've got to have a bed special made...mine is 7 feet long. You've got to be careful when you sit down. I used to wreck a couple of chairs a week in the studio. Weight is a problem with me. If I don't watch it, it shoots up to around 300 pounds. It bugs me having to go on a diet but here isn't any alternative. I remember breakfast when I ate a dozen eggs, two loaves of bread and drank two quarts of milk. Now I eat like a normal guy and I'm always hungry. If I had been a little guy I'd probably still be teaching school in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Also, have a nice single malt with this stick. Of course I say that about every smoke.mike in east rochester December 6, 2007

On Aug. 6 President Obama gave a speech in which he addressed the future of the housing market in the U.S., specifically in the context concerning the future of the much-maligned Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Currently these two mortgage behemoths provide backing for 90 percent of U.S. home loans. When you or I apply for a mortgage through our bank or broker the loan is eventually funded by one of these entities. Once the loan is funded our mortgage is likely securitized into a mortgage-backed security. The ultimate investor in the mortgage-backed security invests knowing that if you or I default on the mortgage payments, Freddie or Fannie ultimately will make the security whole and losses will be mitigated.
While Freddie and Fannie are not government agencies, they are what are called government sponsored agencies or GSE's. While the mortgage backing provided by the GSE's did not involve explicit taxpayer backing, they did have implicit backing which during the financial crisis the government did make good on by taking both Freddie and Fannie into government backed receivership. Despite the calamity that was largely caused by mortgage lending, no investor in Freddie or Fannie bonds or mortgage securities incurred a principal loss.
This now explicit government backing of nearly all home mortgages presents an enormous level of risk to the U.S. taxpayer, and it is prudent for the government to squeeze out this position by reforming this arrangement.
This was reflected in the president's speech when he said, "I believe that while our housing system must have a limited government role, private lending should be the backbone of the housing market."
So what does this really mean?
There are a number of bills currently working through Congress reforming mortgage lending. One with considerable support in the Senate would transfer some lending risk back to the banks funding the loans and require the bank itself provide 10 percent backing to any mortgage loan it makes. Another bill in the House provides for no assurance to mortgage investors by either banks or the GSEs.
Changes like this will certainly drive the interest rates on mortgages higher as private investors will have little incentive to fund an un-backed mortgage at the low interest rates we have all become used to. It is even likely the 30 year mortgage itself becomes a thing of the past, as this structure is not one likely to be embraced by private capital, either.
The home finance industry in the U.S. is unique in the world. I am aware of no other country in which the government provides backing for such a large part of the consumer economy. I will reserve judgment on this subject until we get some resolution, which will take years. All home owners, and potential home owners, should pay attention to this debate. If you haven't attended to your mortgage lately, here is one more incentive to take another look.

In Love Alone Lyrics - Carpenters
I memorize the words I want to say
I practice every move I'll make
I polay the scene like you were here
And I feel every breath you take
But all my plans just seem to melt away
The moment you walk in the room
I try to speak but words won't come
Till I'm alone again
I'm leaving my heart on the shelf
Sleep is a place I only cry myself
And dream by myself
(*) I'm not in love alone
We put our two hearts together
sponsored linksJust like I've always known
Once we begin we're forever
And I will never spend a long night
Without you again
So now you know what I've been going through
Now all I really need to know
Is why your eyes look so surprised
Oh no! This can't be true
Would you have let me walk away?
Why have you kept your feelings locked away?
Did I hear you say?
Repeat (*)

SCHERERVILLE | Franciscan Omni Health & Fitness in joint collaboration with the Sage Fruit Company wanted to reach out to the local school systems in their communities. With the generous donation of 23 cases of apple which would equal approximately 2024 apples from Sage Fruit and the vision of Omni Health & Fitness to create a wellness program that reaches out to all of the staff members of the Lake Central School System, in Schererville, Dyer & St. John, and the Duneland School System, in Chesterton.
Working with administration in each school district, this wellness program will start touching lives being Friday, May 24th. The idea is to present each employee in the school systems with an apple. The school system staff members touch the lives of our youth on a daily basis. With summer months fast approaching, we would like school staff to take the time to rejuvenate themselves for they are the role models that so many of our youth look up to. The apples will have a message thanking them and offer them a free opportunity that would encourage staff members to better health over the summer months. The message invites the school employees for a free week to one of our two state of the art clubs and a discount to continue with a summer membership at the STUDENT rates.
The Wellness Committee, Principals, and Teacher's Union leadership are excited about the Apple a Day promotion launched by Franciscan Omni Health & Fitness, according to Rob James, CPA, CBO; Director of Business Services at Lake Central School Corporation.
This wellness program took many people and efforts from local business to launch. We also wish to thank the Strack & Van Til's on U.S. 30 in Valparaiso for helping us in this task. They took delivery and stored the apple for Omni until delivery could be made. This is true community involvement to thank both school systems for what they do for our youth.

Chris Brown Imagine
I walk into the house hoping Chris was home , he had been gone for like a week. I missed his touch like crazy. The way he rubbed his hands down my sides and across my stomach , talk about seduction . I walked up stairs and hop in the shower water steaming hot , I had been stressed lately . With Chris being gone and in the studio all the time , that left a lot of time to wonder .
I get out the shower dry off slide on Chris's shirt . While you were in the room cleaning up I hear a car door. I ignore it trying to not excite myself . Focusing on what I doing I don't hear the door close or the footsteps. I bend over picking cloths up , when I feel his hand rub across my hips . I get weak but turn around.
Chris pulls you close grabbing your ass and smiling . " Baby , You missed me ?" I smile at him rubbing up his shirt I nod my head. He looks at me with lust and hunger in his eyes and starts to kiss my neck . Biting my lip I let out a soft moan , enjoying every moment and sensation of his touch. He pushes me against the wall getting rougher . By then my legs were around his waist and he was going inside me , I let out a gasp I never get use to that. He goes deeper and deeper pulling him closer my moans get louder , he speeds up making my moans turn into screams. I scream for harder and deeper . " Fuck chris !!!" He went even faster .
I start digging into his back , " Ch— chr.— fuck !!!" I cum so hard I can't even feel my legs. He lays on the bed with me " Y/N , You feel better now ?" I look over at him breathless and laugh . He kisses my neck " Ready for round 2 ?" I get on top of him and start kissing his neck. Damn I love this boy.
