Even if their clients never intend to step into the ring, the certified trainers at Mittwork Fitness LLC train them with some of the same techniques as prizefighters. Through a noncontact quartet of boxing, kickboxing, MMA, and fitness classes, the coaches foster svelte frames and stronger limbs with combinations of mitt work, heavy-bag workouts, and boot-camp-style exercise. Meanwhile, students gain confidence and soak up the fundamentals of martial-arts techniques without ever having to spar with other students or engage in competition.
Sudz Car Wash and Detail Center's three locations transform dirty cars into shiny driveway adornments. During each full-service wash, technicians vacuum the interior, clean the windows from the inside and out, dust the dash, wipe down the doorjambs, and wash the exterior until it's as reflective as an out-of-work psychologist. The service extends to the deluxe car wash, which rewards auto exteriors with dollops of glossy triple polish and clear-coat wax to heighten the finish. An underbody wash sweeps away road grime and a quick gloss of tire dressing straightens the posture of wearied rubber. Finally, staffers scrub out rubber mats and send the car off looking so good that parking meters will offer to foot the bill.
The technicians from Papishampoo Mobile Detailing save you the trip by scrubbing your car clean outside of your home or office, removing stains and streaks on the exteriors and interiors of sedans, vans, and SUVs. Their car washes include full-body washing, interior wipe downs, and tire dressing. Their details, meanwhile, are much more extensive?the exterior gets a full coat of clay bar, Premium Glaze polish, and carnauba wax, while the insides receive leather and vinyl conditioning, carpet and mat shampoos, and an air freshener. But they also focus on the finer details, such as consoles, door jambs, and even air vents, resulting in a car that's so spotless it looks as it did when it first learned to read stop signs.
Mahwah Sunoco's ACDelco master technicians specialize in eco-friendly full-service repair and maintenance for most types of vehicles. During the half-hour oil change and 22-point inspection, ASE-certified auto gurus check tire pressure and top off up to 1/2 pint of power steering, transmission, windshield washer, and Gatorade before hydrating roadcrafts with up to 6 quarts of Sunoco 5W-30 basic or synthetic motor oil (not valid for diesel engines). Consistently maintaining eco-friendly standards, Mahwah's mechanics recycle all excess engine juice in accordance with EPA guidelines.
If a party contains anywhere from 4 to 15 travelers, it's likely that 17 North Limos has a vehicle that precisely accommodates the group. From Lincoln Town Cars to a stretch Porsche Cayenne limousine, the fleet can handle groups of any size and temperament, whether they're departing for a business trip or partying the night away. All vehicles—even the big GMC party bus—come stocked with water and assorted candies, sweetening up rides to myriad destinations such as the airport, the wedding chapel, or the next stop in a citywide bar hop.
The auto experts at Personal Touch Car Wash Fast Lube and Detail Center cater to the roadster's exterior appearance as well as interior performance. Cars roll in for one of five types of car-wash packages $9–$29), each of which includes an undercarriage wash, polish wax, and rinsing wax. Customers select from washes with an ascending level of features, or add a la carte services, such as an Aquapel window treatment ($15) and a tire shine ($3). Personal Touch also offers a waiting room, where guests can lounge while their vehicle gets gussied up, and the option to pair the primping sessions with an oil change or purchase of new tires with or without a mani-pedi. The multiservice auto center also partners with Ringwood's fire department and ambulance auxiliary.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I've had the honour of staying over twice at Pearl Continental Lahore. The first time, I was visiting Lahore with my family and it was an absolute delight to stay there. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms in the old wing for three nights. The second time, my friends and I stayed in the equally luxurious new wing. I chose PC because of its name. PC is considered amongst the best hotels in Pakistan and I wanted to experience true luxury, which was offered beyond any doubt.Besides the well-furnished rooms, what I found most impressive was the spaciousness of the attached bathrooms. Many five star hotels overlook the importance of walking space in the bathroom, and it was refreshing to see PC Lahore did not follow suit. The hotel lobby is extensive and grand, and you can eat just about any kind of food imaginable without having to leave the premises of the hotel. PC Lahore is located on the main Mall Road, which is very close to many landmarks including Lahore Zoo and Badshahi Mosque. Security wise, the hotel is amongst one of the most protected sites in the country. The staff is friendly, efficient and well trained.However, if you get a road-view room, traffic noise can be an issue. Also, it takes around fifteen minutes to get through the hotel security, which can be a hassle at times. Large groups of students tend to stay at PC Lahore so if you're there at the wrong time, you might get very annoyed.

I agree with all of that, but I'd counter that the very
structure of the Constitution is at fault - not just the 14th.
Remember, it was with that Constitution that we traveled to the point of a breakup and re-unification at gunpoint.
The original Constitution got us to the point where we adopted the 14th.
There were other solutions to slavery and liberty for former slaves. The Constitution practically ensured they did not come about as they had in the rest of the world.
The Founders were smart not to give Congress any real legislative power in the Articles. They royally fubar'd that up with the Constitution, effectively (very) ending the notion of a union of sovereign States (nations) held together in friendship under a confederation and kept friendly by their meeting "in Congress" with each other.
This grave error culminated in the aftermath of war in 1865 with a no-looking back change to a "unitary State." We for all practical purposes, completed the transition of this unitary state to a socialist democracy with the 17th amendment.
None of that would have been possible if we had remained under the Articles, reformed or not.

Just a few for today. Our Frost Proof gardenia did put out one bloom, it smells so good. Avedon
J. Carpenter reject crossed with Chance Encounter. Golliwog Quads. The sun is backlighting the flowers. Our second Buttered Popcorn, a better bloom than the first one Siloam Double Classic popped out 11 blooms today. Frost Proof gardenia bloom--can't wait for this to really get going. |

I wish I could sniff your gardenia myself but it sure looks like a beauty. That first daylily bloom is definately my favorite today. |
I love the first daylily picture, too. its real pretty,and I love your S. Double Classice too. its gorgeous. My buttered popcorn dont have a scape yet. its slow. jean |
Love the color on the 1st daylily too. What a lot of blooms & still tons of buds on D. Classic. |
Love all three, but the 1st is a real beauty. Your Gardenia is pretty, my whole yard smells like gardenia. My old shrub is getting ratty though, I may have to take it out and replace it with a cutting. sharon |
I love the seedling! The Golliwog blooms look so pretty backlit by the sun. |
I LOVE that seedling too. I still like GOLLIWOG and the multi blooms opening. Gardenia.....if only I could grow it here. Julia |
Siloam Double Classic is quite the bloom machine I love it, your seedling also is a favorite. Don't you just love the gardenia's I have a few big bushes that were here when we bought the house and when they bloom the scent is spectacular. Linda |
A friend of mine "kills" a new gardenia every year. It's our personal joke. They just don't do well for her - in ground or in pots - doesn't matter. I gave up trying a long time ago. What a shame. It's probably one of my favorite scents. Lucky you....SDC, with all those scapes and lovely pastel color is my favorite daylily picture of this group....Maryl |

The wireless carrier is expanding its existing Wi-Fi calling and texting service with promises of more coverage in the home and in the air.
CNET editor Dong Ngo explains how Wi-Fi calling works with the latest smartphones, including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and picks the top five routers that are best for this technology.
Good news! Reverse password lookups are totally possible.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, who brought many a Broadway hit into the world, believes that Wi-Fi would allow business to be conducted in God's house.
Every new version of Apple's mobile operating system seems to trigger complaints, and iOS 8 is no exception.
A new version of iOS 6 is out to squash a pesky Wi-Fi glitch -- but it's only available on a select few Apple gadgets.
A glitch was chewing up cellular data instead of Wi-Fi data, but customers won't be charged for any overages, says Verizon.
Bug allowed Apple's new handset running on Verizon to consume precious cellular data while connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Does the new iPhone 5 have a Wi-Fi problem? Some users seem to think so.
As an alternative to cellular, the new service will let people tap into wireless hotspots across the United States

Not if you only want to use Apple TV to watch YouTUbe videos,stream Netflix to you TV and view photos from Flickr or MobileMe. But if you want to be able to watch you itunes files( movies and TV shows) you will need the Airport Extreme, because you can plug an external hard drive that has all of your iTunes files( movies and TV shows) into the Airport Extreme.

Found It and Kept It
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jul 9 2013 5:25PM
Five fishermen on a commercial expedition off the coast of Destin, Florida found 55 pounds of cocaine floating in the water… and it was worth an estimated $2.5 million. To their credit, the fishermen immediately turned it over to the police.
A local Drug Task Force is now investigating the cocaine, which they said came in individually-wrapped packages and they believe the drugs came from the Venezuela area.
Steve says if he found $2.5 million of cocaine floating in the water he would absolutely keep it, Slacker says he would definitely dump it.
Slacker says his moral compass goes hand in hand with his empathy. If a millionaire dropped $1000 he says he wouldn't feel bad keeping it, but if a grandma dropped $1000 he would have a guilty conscience.
What amazing things have you found…bigger question…did you keep it or turn it in?
With Love,
Intern Elana

Bahrain's largest Shiite political group, Al-Wefaq, blamed militiamen loyal to the regime for the weekend death of a 22-year-old anti-government protester.
Ahmed Ismael Abdulsamad was shot in the right thigh before dawn yesterday as he filmed a protest in the Shiite village of Salmabad that plainclothes security forces tried to break up with tear gas and rubber bullets, Al-Wefaq said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. It said one of several "militiamen" accompanying security forces fired live bullets at the protesters from a civilian car, hitting Abdulsamad.
Authorities are investigating Abdulsamad's death, Chief of Public Security Major-General Tariq al-Hassan said yesterday, according to an e-mailed statement from the Information Affairs Authority. He said preliminary details revealed that Abdulsamad was shot by a person driving a civilian car.
Abdulsamad's death adds to tensions that have simmered in the island nation since the Sunni monarchy cracked down on one month of mass protests last year by mostly Shiite demonstrators demanding democracy and equal rights. At least 35 people were killed between Feb. 14 and April 15 last year, according to the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry, which investigated the unrest. The opposition says more than 30 other people died from tear gas inhalation and torture. Small-scale protests still taking place daily in Shiite villages and sometimes spill over into the capital of Manama.
The Interior Ministry said on Twitter late yesterday that activist Nabeel Rajab, head of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, has been arrested for participation in an unauthorized rally and referred to the public prosecutor.

Myself, I really look forward to the chinese pop every year. I usually down 10+ cups every time I go in there (they are small cups).
It looks like you have them ranked from your top favorites to your least favorites, and if that's the case, you really thought Beverly was better than Krest? :inquis:
I don't remember which one was my favorite, but Bevery was deffinatly my least favorite!
Germany is definately my favorite! Then China was good too!
No I don't have them ranked in any order, I couldn't remember the names of some of them so I got a list online.
My favorite was Mezzo Mix from Deutschland. I am trying to become fluent in German and it was a real treat to get and taste this soda. I have been studying the German language for five years.
I don't remember which one i like the most because it's been so long since I have tried it. I didn't even know there was a place you could still taste the soda's at! They must have moved it. I do remember which one I don't like... the one that taste like acid!
Thank you
No problem
Which one is pink? for some reason I either hated it or liked it, I can't remember lol. There was one I really love though.
The pink soda is from China (Smart Watermelon). I loved this one it was very good.
Thats probably the one I like, I'll vote for that one lol
The Smart Watermellon is definately my favorite of those choices. I wish they would include some of the Fantas from other countries - they are so good! I live in Atlanta, so I have visited the Coke factory numerous times and it has every possible flavor to try and most (if not all) of the Fantas are so good! The flavors that they have at Disney are definately not the cream of the crop, but I guess it's because they want you to buy a regular Coke product to wash out that taste of Beverly (which I must say the actual product doesn't taste horrible - it's the aftertaste)...also, I guess it's hard to argue with free :) .
I like the Watermelon.....but down here in the south it is SODA not pop (silly yankees)

100th Anniversary Edition
Poems by Robert Frost A Boy's Will and North of Boston
The publication of A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914) marked the debut of Robert Frost as a major talent and established him as the true poetic voice of New England. Four of his volumes would win the Pulitzer Prize before his death in 1963, and his body of work has since become an integral part of the American national heritage.

This afternoon Astragal was happily snoozing in his den until rudely awoken by the telephone. Balefully staring at the source of his annoyance, Astragal reluctantly picked up. Expecting yet another invite to a gin-drinking session from that old scamp Norm, Astragal was surprised to hear the voice of an elderly lady requesting help with her last crossword clue. An accomplished wordsmith, Astragal gallantly came to the assistance of the charming Miriam Bailey, 89, of London, who was stumped ...

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

Aircraft interiors specialist Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics is in talks to become a provider for the Airbus A350 XWB.
"Airbus is currently a customer of Saint-Gobain (from A319 up to A380). They are definitely in talks for the new A350, but they can't reveal detailed information at this time," says a spokeswoman for the company.
Saint-Gobain highlighted some of its new 'critical connections' solutions for aircraft interior applications at the recent Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.
"These critical connections solutions for floor-to-floor applications, aircraft monuments, and galleys are customised to meet the exact specifications required for safe and reliable aircraft interior performance," says the firm.
The solutions incorporate a wide range of high-performance silicone sealing technologies (both extruded and molded) dedicated for galleys, cabin baggage bins, toilets, emergency exits, dampening plates, crew rest grounds and furnishing panel seals.
"We can provide critical connections solutions developed with Saint-Gobain's advanced materials to component suppliers for inclusion in galleys and monuments, and finished components directly to aircraft manufacturers," says Nicolas Poussineau, global market leader, aerospace at Saint-Gobain.

VAUDREUIL-DORION, QC, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - As Immunotec looks to the beginning of its twelfth year of operation, Co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. C.H. (Chuck) Roberts announces his retirement from his role as President. Mr. Roberts, a major shareholder in Immunotec, will continue his involvement with the corporation, both as an active member of the Board of Directors and as Co-founder, in a variety of public relations and sales support roles.
Mr. Roberts' wealth of business acumen and experience in heading successful Canadian companies, coupled with his sales vision for an innovative, research-based product called Immunocal/HMS 90, were behind the establishment of Immunotec Research Ltd. in 1996. His leadership and entrepreneurial expertise took a post-retirement venture from its roots as a small, Quebec-based enterprise to a major force within the North American network marketing industry. With sales exceeding $36.9 million dollars annually, Immunotec Inc. became a publicly-traded company in January 2007.
Mr. Roberts recognized that network marketing is about more than industry-leading products; his unwavering commitment to Immunotec's thousands of Distributors across Canada and the United States was the foundation for all of his business decisions throughout his presidency. Now, with the company firmly rooted, its longevity assured, and with an experienced and capable corporate team in place, Mr. Roberts steps back from his operational role to launch the company into its second phase, one of rapid expansion and growth.
The Board of Directors has approved the appointment of an incoming President and CEO and will make the formal announcement early next week.
About Immunotec
Immunotec operates out of a 37,000 square foot facility located in
Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada as well as a distribution centre located
in Swanton, Vermont, USA. Immunotec is engaged primarily in the development

What Is Taking So Long?
If the question is how long you should wait before moving toward marriage in your relationship, my answer is that I don't really care how long you wait. There is no magic time limit that guarantees success or failure. In fact, the amount of time has very little to do with whether you should move forward. It is possible to wait too long to move your relationship toward marriage. It is also possible not to wait long enough. And yes, there are always exceptions to the rule, but this discussion is about why the probabilities usually prevail.
The best answer is probably somewhere in the middle—between too long and not long enough. I am more concerned about partners who are not on the same page. I am concerned that one partner may be more invested than the other. I am concerned about external forces that couples allow to override the organic trajectory and growth of the relationship.
I'm far less concerned with a wedding date.
I admit I cringe a bit when couples marry too quickly. I am always curious as to what is going on that they're in such a hurry. I get it… we get excited about the opportunity to nest—to plan weddings and shop for dresses and take on mortgages and have babies. We get excited about building something together… something we can count on. But if the relationship is going to live up to the dream, it needs to be resilient and stable, loving and reverent. Marriage needs to be a very sacred space. For that, it needs a strong foundation. And that doesn't happen in haste.
So it is a mistake to go too fast. Couples need to experience each other as life unfolds. In the beginning when everything is shiny and new, it's easy to count on each other, to be in love, to feel all those wonderful, hopeful things. But passion and love fluctuate. They aren't meant to be sustained. Eventually, we need to get down to the business of life, and that takes a toll.
In a strong relationship, passion and love are consciously revisited and nurtured. That's the hard part.
Commitment is a decision, not a feeling. Commitment has the ability to ride the waves of passion and love to sustain the relationship through real challenges. Commitment makes the decision to revisit passion and love over and over again, despite the obstacles of life. Commitment creates the deeper love that makes a relationship truly resilient because it is built on a strong, healthy foundation. By slowing it down from the very beginning, each partner has the opportunity to peel their protective layers and reveal their true vulnerabilities. This is when couples begin to learn whether the relationship is a journey they intend to take together or whether it's easier to bail out at the first sign of trouble.
It takes time.

Didja you know The Captain from Captain & Tennille's real name is Daryl Dragon? Why would this guy have a nickname? Your name's awesome, you don't get a nickname. Daryl Dragon has bedtime slippers that are cooler than you. Daryl Dragon washes his hands, then breathes a not-very-intense fire on his hands to dry them. Daryl Dragon can't get a speeding ticket. "Okay, Mr. Dragon, I'll let you go this time with a warning because your name is Daryl Dragon." Any the hoo! Michael Pineda continues to dominate sans pine tar fingers. At least I don't think he has pine tar on his fingers. Imagine he was really a Caucasian pulling a fast one? His ERA is now down to 1.93 after a 7 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hit, 1 Walk, 8 Ks gem. For 2015, I picture him being overdrafted due to the Yankees thing and the insanely low ERA, but it's gonna be hard to be as excited about him due to his 6.30 K-rate, and 3.61 xFIP. You, sir, are no Daryl Dragon. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jon Jay
The Denver Homerlette is like the Slam & Legs, except it's 2 HRs, while Tulo and CarGo hold their legs. As most of you know, Rudy writes the title for most of these. Currently, Rudy and I are in a tough battle for 1st place in our RCL and he owns Corey Dickerson, so I thought I'd share with you the first few titles Rudy suggested, "Dickerson Poops On Grey, But Of Coors" and "Suck My Dickerson." Stay classy, Rudy! Since Rudy won't or can't toot his own horn, I will for him. Hmm, that sounds weird. Maybe if he could've tooted his own horn, his wife wouldn't be spitting out kids like they were sunflower seeds. In February, Rudy released his rankings, and he had Dickerson at 102 overall. I don't think I saw Dickerson within 100 spots of that anywhere. I was one of the other few people who even ranked him, and I didn't have him within 150 of that. Yesterday, Dickerson hit two bombs, raising his season total to 22. In addition, he has a .311 batting average to go with 8 steals. Right now, he's top 60 overall on our Player Rater and near the top 15 for outfielders. That's after Walt Weiss played with his ding-a-ling for a month, platooning him. That ranking won't be far from where he's ranked for 2015 either. Everywhere he's played he's shown solid power, average and some speed, then throw Coors into the equation and he could be a top 30 bat overall in 2015. Yup, I kinda love him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?In 1778, Benjamin Franklin pulled the first American flag from Betsy Ross's, uh, clutches and proclaimed a holiday to be called Labor Day in the then-resort city of Philadelphia. Since then there's been a long history of great Philly pitchers: Steve "Lefty" Carlton, Jackie "Kid" Gleason, Robin "ESPN anchor" Roberts, Curt Schilling, who later went on to be known for saucing his French fries with ketchup out of his sock, Jim "Beds Are" Bunning and Brett "I'll Show You Slap Hits" Myers. Philly's not the same town now as it was in Ben's day, as the battle for best cheesesteak tore up most of the city. "Geno's? How about I give you a jihad wit wiz?!" It's ugly, without much joy in the City of Brotherly Love, a nickname adopted due to the popularity of a WWF manager in the early 90's. Yesterday, for a moment, all of that sorrow was told to go to 'morrow, as Cole Hamels and Jacob Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon combined for a no hitter. Hamels only made it through six innings, because he took Labor Day literally and struggled with five walks. If I had to give an award out because I had an award and didn't know what to do with it, I'd ask someone next year if Jacob Diekman ever threw a no-hitter, and would reward them with that unwanted trophy if they said yes. A great day for Philly fans everywhere (except for the fans that came to the game with D batteries hoping for a reason to throw them at a player). Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rosters are just about to go from Foster's oil cans to forties for our annual tradition of getting completely wasted on rookie nookie. I remember in September of 1997, this young talkative player debuted. He could spin a yarn as well as he could spin his bat. That player had modest power in the minors and was hitting .361 in Triple-A at the time of his call-up. His name: Sean Casey. He had a solid career, hitting for modest power and a solid average. Later he became more known for his defense. Not with his glove, but how hitters would purposely not get a hit so they didn't have to stand on first and hear him talk. He'd say there's nothing a good conversation can't defend. What is all of this getting at? That first year Sean Casey was called up, he didn't do anything. Looked totally overmatched. Now if I would've dropped Ryan Klesko to grab Sean Casey, I would've missed out on a damn fine September from Klesko. If that happened, it may have shook my confidence in the great game of baseball and the ability to grow sideburns, and maybe I would've never have went on to become the fantasy baseball 'pert you've grown to love and secretly dream up of scenarios where we're hanging out and sharing a burrito. A parallel universe none of us want to imagine. So, be careful about who you drop in the coming days as players are called up. I love Joc Pederson, I'll probably make him my preseason NL Rookie of the Year next year, but this year he may not even have a starting job.* *Fantasy Players who read this also searched for Kevin Maas, Sam Horn and Nadir Bupkis. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?If Miggy were a Russian nesting doll, the first doll under him would be Avisail Garcia. They look like so similar they could do Sister, Sister-type stunts. "I don't want to face Felix Hernandez today, you take my jersey and you face him…Then take my algebra exam." "Okay, sis, but you have to go out with Bobby for me. Pinky swear!" That's them conspiring to use their physical similarities on unsuspecting people. (Bee tee dubya, I've never seen an episode of Sister, Sister, and if I missed the general gist of the show, I apologize to all the prankster twins reading for generalizing. But, I will say, twins should apologize for looking similar, it's disconcerting. The first time you see them you have to ask yourself, "Am I on peyote right now? No, I'm not, I'm looking at a twin." Any the hoo!) Comparing him to Miggy doesn't give the whole picture of Avisail. Well, it does, but, okay, bad choice of words. It doesn't tell you what kind of hitter Avisail is. He's not a 40-homer hitter. At least not yet. He has some speed, even stole 20 bases one year in the minors, when he was only 18 years old. He also probably won't hit for more than 25 homers all of next year. He can hit for a solid average. Last year, while only 21 years old for half the year (no, he doesn't have two birthdays a year; I mean he was 21 for half the season), he hit .370 in the minors. He reminds me more of a young Matt Holliday — think around 25 HRs, 15 SBs and .315. Definitely someone I would be aggressive about in keepers. As for this year, now that he's fully recovered from his torn labrum, an injury that sounds like it would happen to a gymnast, he's someone I'd look at in all leagues. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?"Richards is talking to trainers but remains on back. Injury appears to be serious." That's how the news was tweeted out yesterday by the Angels beat writer. If Agatha Christie were around today, she'd adapt that tweet and name the novel, 140 Characters On A Train Wreck. Then it would be re-released after a train disaster with its new title, The Pitcher's Trap. No matter the title, there was and will only be one antagonist, the Fantasy Baseball Overlord, who gets his jollies from the misery of fantasy baseballers. You sit on his lap; he says, "What do you want this season?" "A healthy pitcher." "Ho, ho, ho, no." Arm injury, oblique, hip impingement, parallel parking impingement because of a stupid cone, broken toe, Tommy John surgery, Tomas Juan surgery in Mexico, forearm strain and now a knee. The Angels best options are Wade "Joey" LeBlanc, Randy "Team Jacob" Wolf and Chris "Lord" Volstad. They are all horror shows. Mean's while, it sounds like Garrett Richards will miss the remainder of the season, but hopefully will be fine for next year. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grizzly Adams did have a beard, and so does Adam LaRoche ($4,800), who's hitting at an insane clip this month (.636 SLG and .348 ISO). He's also a notorious slow-starter, but his lifetime OPS in August is .903, which is well higher than any of those other stupid months. Hold up, we're not done here. I got stats on stats on stats. LaRoche also owns a .417 wOBA and .225 ISO at home versus RHP, and he's 4-for-11 (1 HR) versus Trevor Cahill, who has been hit hard in 2 career starts at Nationals Park (5.11 ERA).
Man, I hope at least some of those numbers don't lie, but I know if I ever have any doubts, I can bounce my ideas off the DFSBot. This thing is getting all sorts of accolades lately and was probably banging lines with dimes somewhere in VIP last night. Oh to be the most accurate projection system on the interwebs. Congrats Bot, live it up.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Tillman went 8 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, lowering his ERA to 3.55 while dropping his 2nd half ERA to 2.14 in 46 1/3 IP. Still, the best thing about him is he doesn't currently have a duet with Nicki Minaj on the radio. He's the one person in the western hemisphere. You are so lucky, eastern hemisphere! Assuming you, Eastern Hemispherers, move to the western hemisphere in the next six months and don't get all of our hand-me-down crap songs next. I lived in London in the fall of 1996, so I had a jumpstart on "Tell me what you want what you really want, what you really really want" by the Spice Girls, then when I moved back home, it just got here. I had a good solid 12 months straight of one stupid Spice Girls song. I called it A Clockwork Spice. Ready for me to tie this in? I bet you are! I was in on Tillman in the preseason the past two years, convinced he could make the jump to fantasy number two. I held him both years in the 1st half, as he got battered around, then in the 2nd half of both years after I dropped him, he buckled down and showed the kind of pitcher he can be. Unlike last year, his peripherals this year are pretty poor — 6.2 K/9, 3 BB/9, 4.31 xFIP. I'd definitely own him while he's going well, but I don't think he's become anything more than a decent fantasy number four to five. Right now, he's a Wannabe. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well that's a new one. No player. Nope. Not giving you a pitcher. Ok, I kinda am. Sale is da bomb dot gov. But you don't need me to tell you that. Unless, of course, you haven't paid attention to this sport we call baseball for the last three years, then maybe you need my insight on the guy that coulda been AL Cy Young if it weren't for a DL stint. And heck, I'm not even giving you a specific hitter. I'm talking fat stacks…or phat stacks if I were Chris Tucker and it was 1997. Remember when he was funny? Yeah, I don't either…anywho, this was a theory discussed with a good friend who's into the DFS game and who had a great take on the psychology of a baseball game. So when you're the pitcher opposing a certified ace and aren't really 'on your game', you're gonna get like your GF's panties get during that certain time of the month: spotty. And when you get spotty, you get dicey. And when you get you know what, I just can't do the Direct TV commercial. It's been done to death. The key thing here is recognizing that the other team and their opposing pitcher can get a bit intimidated going up against an arm like Sale. These types of feelings are hard to get around. An error here, a booted double play there…the big thing is, Baltimore and Bud Norris are in a bad spot for today and I plan on taking advantage. And speaking of Bud…gross. That's both about the beer and the pitcher splits. Norris isn't great at all at this point but away from Baltimore, he has a 4.55 ERA and a near doubled HR/9 rate at 1.28 away from the 'friendly confines' of Camden Yards. In particular, lefties have given him the most trouble with 6 HRs in 33.1 IP and a .354 wOBA. So if you're against a huge stack, keep in mind Adam Dunn, Alejandro De Aza, and Conor Gillaspie when you're building your rosters for the day.

Please, blog, may I have some more?I don't really remember the first time I played 'lambs'. It's hard to remember much after being chloroformed, to be honest, but let's just say I'm glad the game didn't go on for too long. It was really creepy hearing Grey pet Ted and call him 'Precious' while asking 'Would you F@#$ me? I'd F@#$ me'. Mainly because you're supposed to tuck and do that into a mirror while dancing and tucking your junk. He screwed the game up so badly, we had to start over. The human body can't take this much chloro! But all this to say, I'm ready and willing to play again, only I want the bucket to be filled with Kyle Lohse this time. What, you wanted a more seamless segue? Sorry, we can't all be Christian Bale taking an axe to Jared Leto whilst waxing poetic about Huey Lewis & The News, ok? Let's just talk baseball since that's what you're here for. Heading into the game against Peralta last night, the Cubs were striking out 27.5% of the time over the last 7 games while rocking a .274 wOBA. These numbers go in the 'no bueno' section of your baseball stats. So unless the wind is blowing monstrously out, I'll take Kyle for the miniscule $8K price tag with the hopes of him going at least 7 while K'ing 6 and coasting into a 20+ DraftKings point night.

Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat each advance in 5 games | NBA playoffs
The Memphis Grizzlies eliminated Oklahoma City and the Miami Heat ousted Chicago from the NBA playoffs. Each series ended in five games.
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Memphis Grizzlies advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time in franchise history, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 88-84 Wednesday night.
Memphis won the best-of-seven series in five games. The Grizzlies will play either San Antonio or Golden State in the next round.
Zach Randolph had 28 points and 14 rebounds, and Mike Conley added 13 points and 11 assists for Memphis, the fifth seed.
"I'm happy, but we've still got work to do," Randolph said. "I want to win a ring."
Kevin Durant missed a 16-foot jumper from the left wing that could have tied the score with six seconds left, part of a miserable shooting night for the three-time NBA scoring champion.
Former Sonic Durant ended up with 21 points on 5-for-21 shooting, the third-worst performance of his playoff career.
"I can live with myself, knowing that I gave it all that I had," said Durant, who played all 48 minutes and made seven turnovers.
The Thunder, which made it to the NBA Finals last year and was the West's top seed this season, went 2-6 after All-Star guard Russell Westbrook went out with a knee injury that required surgery.
"I believe in our guys," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. "I'm disappointed we didn't win this series. I felt that we were good enough to win this series."
Serge Ibaka had 17 points and eight rebounds before fouling out with 1:26 to play during a desperation comeback try for the Thunder.
Oklahoma City trailed by 12 with three minutes left before going on a 16-6 run, with Reggie Jackson's three-pointer cutting the deficit to 86-84 with 14.3 seconds remaining.
Randolph missed two free throws with 11.3 seconds on the clock to give the Thunder a good chance to save its season. Durant got the ball beyond the three-point line and navigated around Memphis' Tony Allen before missing the jumper.
Allen made two free throws to close out scoring.
Oklahoma City dropped to 1-4 in elimination games over the past four seasons.
"We just were fortunate to just make enough plays to win the game," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "That's the way we've been all year, but we'll take it."
Heat rallies
to oust Bulls
MIAMI — A fast start and faster finish were enough to send the Miami Heat back to the Eastern Conference finals.
LeBron James scored 23 points, Dwyane Wade added 18 and the Heat rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 94-91 and close out their second-round series in five games.
Miami ran out to a 22-4 lead, then was outscored by 29 points over the next 27 minutes before recovering.
The defending champion Heat outscored the Bulls 25-14 in the fourth quarter.
Carlos Boozer finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls, who were without guard Derrick Rose for the 99th straight game.
Nate Robinson and Jimmy Butler missed potential tying three-pointers on the final possession of the season for Chicago, which dropped the last four games of the series.
"Nate had a great look; I had an incredible one," Butler said.
Ex-Washington Huskies standout Robinson scored 21 points and Butler had 19.
In Game 4, Robinson was scoreless and missed all 12 of his shots from the field.
"We're disappointed, but this has been a hell of a run for us," said Robinson, a graduate of Rainier Beach High School in Seattle. "Our back has been against the wall all season, with a lot of doubters.
"We fought collectively as a team. This is the best team I've been on. This group of guys is very special. We worked hard every day. We brought it."
Miami is 6-0 in its last six chances to end a series.

KMTG is continuing our series reviewing new legislation. Unless noted otherwise, the new laws take effect January 1, 2013.
To read recent alerts reported on by KMTG that affect k-12 and higher education, please see our Legal Alerts under the Resources tab at www.kmtg.com. Links have been provided below if a summary has been expanded upon in a previous Legal Alert.
SB 1349 adds sections 99120, 99121 and 99122. Section 99120 defines "social media". This bill prohibits public and private postsecondary educational institutions from requiring or requesting a student, prospective student, or student group to disclose, access, or divulge personal social media information and would prohibit any postsecondary educational institution from threatening or otherwise penalizing a student, prospective student, or student group for refusing to comply with a request or demand that violates that prohibition. The bill would require private nonprofit and for-profit postsecondary educational institutions to post their social media privacy policy on each institution's internet website.
See KMTG Legislative Update: New Laws Prohibit Employers And Colleges From Requesting Social Media Passwords, October 9, 2012 | Bulletin No. 1011597.2
SB 1456 amends, amongst other sections, Education code sections 76300 and 78210 et. seq. The bill revises the Seymour-Campbell Matriculation Act of 1986 to reflect the recommendations of the Student Success Act of 2012. Specifically, the bill would target matriculation funds for student orientation, assessment, and education planning and require entering students at campuses receiving matriculation funds to participate in those services once approved by the BOG. The goal of the bill is to increase a student's access and success in part by assisting students in making an informed decision about his/her academic and career goal and course of study and in development of an education plan. The bill outlines the responsibilities of both the institution and the student in entering into the matriculation process. The bill specifies that the BOG establish minimum satisfactory academic standards to retain eligibility for BOG Fee Waivers.
The bill would require the BOG to develop a formula for allocating funding for this program, and, in the 2012-13 FY and each fiscal year thereafter, the act would be operative only if funds are specifically appropriated for its purposes.
The Legislative Analyst's Office ("LAO") is required to review and report to the appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature by July 1, 2014 and even-numbered years thereafter on matters to which these provisions are implemented and the extent of available counseling and advising services; overall progress on implementation of the Student Success Task Force's recommendations; impacts on student participation, progress and completion by ethnicity, age gender disability and socioeconomic status; and a summary of college implementation efforts and recommendations for improvement.
AB 2171 adds Education code section 76038. This bill authorizes governing boards of community college districts to require a student seeking enrollment to disclose any previous expulsion from another California community college. Governing boards are authorized to deny enrollment, permit enrollment, or permit conditional enrollment to a student who has been expelled, or is undergoing expulsion procedures in another community college for specified offenses within the preceding five years.
Districts have the authority to request information from another community college (or release information to another community college) to determine whether a student seeking enrollment continues to pose a danger to others.
SB 1316 amends Education code sections 46141 and adds 46146.5. This bill would exempt certain early college high school or middle college high school pupils from the 240-minute minimum school day. The bill would instead provide that a day of attendance for an early college high school pupil or middle college high school pupil is 180 minutes if the pupil is either (a) a special part-time student enrolled in a community college for which academic credit will be provided upon satisfactory completion of enrolled courses or (b) the pupil is in grades 11 and 12 and is also enrolled part time in classes of the California State University or the University of California for which academic credit will be provided. A day of attendance for a pupil enrolled in an early college high school or middle college high school who does not satisfy either of these requirements is 240 minutes of attendance. The bill makes findings and declarations regarding the purpose and key elements of early college high schools and the students they are designed to serve.

Introduction of the ASUS GTX 780 ROG Poseidon Platinum 3GB OC
NVIDIA video cards have been quiet over recent months as AMD partners continue to push out variations of the company's R series of video cards, and AMD themselves took the top spot with the release of the new R9 295X2 8GB dual-GPU beast that seems to have no problems taking on our current crop of games at almost any resolution.
Today, though, we've not only got the chance to check out a new high-end model from ASUS, but we also get the chance to check out a high-end NVIDIA card, which is something we haven't really done in a while now. The ASUS GTX 780 ROG Poseidon Platinum 3GB OC sounds mean. But the question is, does the cards performance match a name like this?
ASUS has always done a good job of impressing us when it comes to almost anything. We've seen some fantastic motherboards and video cards from the company, and we hope today isn't any different. As always, there's a few things we need to do before we find out just how the card does in terms of performance.
So, let's leave it at that and move on to the package to see just what ASUS is offering us here today with the GTX 780 ROG Poseidon Platinum 3GB OC.
Package - What comes inside the box
Taking a look at the front of the box, you can see it's very plain looking. You can see the model and the series name along with the normal array of logos. You can also see mention of Air or Liquid cooling being an option. If we open up the flap, you can see some details in regards to some of the main features that are being offered. On the left side, you can see the focus in regards to the DirectCU H2OHybrid Cooling system that ASUS has implemented.
We'll take a closer look at this in a moment, but what it gives you is the ability to implement the card into your water cooling loop if you have one. On the right hand side, you can see mention of the DIGI+ VRM with Black Metallic Capacitors, and below that, you can see the ROG LED light that is included on the cooler.
Moving to the bottom part of the box, you can see our first look at the card. While we don't get a look at the whole thing, we do get a bit of an idea what's going on regards to the cooler and the shroud. We'll take a closer look in just a moment. Finishing up our look with the box, you can see the back gives us a large break down on the cooler and how exactly it works.
We can see how the H2O+ part of the cooler works, which includes the Water Channel and Vapor Chamber. We can also see the other parts of the cooler, which include the massive heat plate and fan setup. Across the bottom, you can also see the main specifications and information in regards to the I/O connectors.
When it comes to the package, it's surprisingly small. You can see above that there's not a whole lot going on with the Speed Setup Guide and Driver CD and a Dual 6-Pin PCIe to Single 8-Pin PCIe and Republic Of Gamers case badge to round things off.

I absolutely live for March Madness. Even though my team hasn't been going dancing consistently over the past couple of years, there's nothing more exciting to me than filling out my bracket and watching as the mayhem plays out. Dez Williams who plays for the Maryland Terrapins recently said "the beauty of college basketball is anyone can be beaten…That's something that really makes the tournament so interesting to watch," and THAT'S SO TRUE! This season it seems that every week the #1 team is getting beaten by the underdog meaning that no one's ranking is safe! I bet the games and normal 6/11 and 8/9 upsets aren't the only ones we'll be getting. Man – just writing this post is getting me pumped up!
I know by the time you're reading this the games have already gotten underway, but perhaps in the spare hours where you're taking a break or when there's no game on, why not try to relax, check in on all of your pools, and listen to some audiobooks.
My first suggestion comes to you by way of the Tennesse Women Vols. Listen to this: Pat Summitt has won more games than any NCAA team in basketball history. She has coached an undefeated season, co-captained the first women's Olympic team, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and has been named Sports Illustrated 'Sportswoman of the Year'. So amazing, right? In her newest book SUM IT UP, Pat talks about her victories, her resilience and the diagnosis that changed her life: Alzheimer's. Truly an inspirational listen, Pat Summitt reminds everyone that overcoming obstacles is just a matter of with hard work, perseverance, and a sense of humor.
I know I'm not alone in my admiration of Charles Barkley – guy is seriously hilarious, and I take pride in knowing even my bracket fared better than his last year – so take a listen to his book I MAY BE WRONG BUT I DOUBT IT. Barkley reads it himself (and I don't have a clip for this so just take some time to hear that in your head), and addressees his need for open conversation about well… EVERYTHING! Sir Charles has never been shy about his opinion, and has little fear for consequences. With this book, he'll make you laugh, he'll make you think and well… that's really all you want from a book, right?
Mark Titus holds the Ohio State record for career wins, and made it to the 2007 national championship game, so why don't you know who he is? In DON'T PUT ME IN COACH, Titus recounts his years as a walk-on benchwarmer, and gives us fans a look behind the locker room doors of NCAA Basketball. Seriously a perfect read for this time of year, take a listen and try not to laugh out too much - you might miss another joke.
So here's the plan: minimzie the three windows you have open on your computer, and mute the TV. Make sure you have snacks available and press play one of the three titles above. You'll love these stories almost as much as you'll love watching Duke get bounced out of the tournament early.
Oh wait. Sorry — there's nothing better than watching Duke lose.

I do not see a spdif interface
I plugged in my HDMI cable to my laptop. I get only video, without sound. I discovered that i have to select the S/PDIF settings. BUT, i only see the "speaker" settings. I have selected and deselected the "show disabled devices", to no avail. What am i doing wrong? I am trying to get the sound to play through my HDMI cable. I have googled this problem and found solutions with all of them being that i have to select the S/PDIF...and i don't even have it listed as an option and no way of knowing how i can get it to show up.
I have an ASUS UL80V laptop with a windows 7 OS. My audio works fine other than the S/PDIF issue. I must be doing something wrong, any help will be appreciated. |

HDMI Port (the ASUS UL80V )
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/video interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). Supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements or requirements. For models with both the integrated and discrete graphics cards, the HDMI output is available only when you select the discrete graphics card mode. |

How do i select the discrete graphics card mode?
My System Specs |
23 Nov 2011 | #4 |
HDMI incorporates its own audio device to carry audio along with the video. It doesn't use your laptop's onboard audio.
If you go to Control Panel -> Sound, you should have two audio devices listed under the Playback tab. Rightclick the one that says HDMI and set it as the default device. You should then hear all sounds through the HDMI connection (and no longer from the laptop's speakers). |

You install the video driver from Asus,
