New York Yankees Top Priority Should Be Bringing Back Russell Martin
To those asking about Josh Hamilton or other long-term free-agent deals – the New York Yankees aren't doing that this year. Brian Cashman is a stay-the-course GM. He will not be surprising anyone in the spring with a big trade, because he won't react specifically to what the Toronto Blue Jays have done. It is not his style and he really thinks his way is right and the team he has assembled is good enough to compete.
With a half dozen teams interested in Russell Martin, it's no slam dunk that Martin, who the Yankees like very much despite his sub-par 2012, will be returning to the Bronx next year. If he doesn't return and Cashman stays his course, who is going to be behind the plate in the Bronx in 2013?
Since this is a particularly weak year for free-agent catchers, New York's best alternative seems to be Mike Napoli, who hit 24 HRs for the Texas Rangers this season. A.J. Pierzynski, the other "name" catcher on the market, who is soon to be 36, may fit in perfect in the old locker room, but he is presumably not a candidate for a multi-year deal.
So what do the Yankees do?
Here's a quick comparison:
Napoli just turned 31, is a career .259 hitter and has hit 146 home runs and driven in 380 runs in seven big-league seasons. His career on-base percentage is a respectable .356. He made $9.4 million last season.
Martin will turn 30 in February. He is a career .260 hitter with 93 HRs and 418 RBI's in seven seasons; his career OBP is a just-as-respectable .352. He made $7.5 million last year.
Obviously, they are remarkably similar offensively, with the edge in power going to Napoli, although as a right-handed hitter, he might not hit as many home runs in Yankee Stadium.
The one significant difference between the two is defense. Martin is a better catcher, having thrown out a higher percentage of would-be base-stealers, 30 percent to Napoli's 24, and has allowed 37 passed balls in 851 games as a catcher to Napoli's 29 in just 485 games. Perhaps more importantly, Martin is a full-time catcher, catching at least 117 games every season, with a high of 149.
Napoli is slightly more than a part-time catcher — he has never caught more than 96 games in a season, splitting the rest of his time between DH and first base. You have to wonder if his bat, and body, would hold up to the kind of daily grind Martin has shown himself to be up for.
The question of the day for the Yankees – which one do they sign? The question of the winter is will they sign anyone?
If not, that would essentially have Chris Stewart, a 12th round pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2001, being the everyday guy for the first time. The Yankees are in this situation because they traded their top minor league catcher last off-season. If Cashman keeps this up, the Yankees may not see the playoffs with him as an employee.
If the Yankees are going to bring Martin back, they will have to outmaneuver five other clubs, according to a source with knowledge of Martin's plans. Besides Cashman's proclamations that he would like Martin back, the Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox have shown interest, the source said.
The Red Sox have signed David Ross, but he is considered more of a backup type, so Martin still could be in play for Boston. There is reportedly a fifth unidentified club that is interested as well. Back when winning was more important than money spent, there would be no way the Yankees would let a player fall to the Red Sox. This isn't the old way it, this is the new way of business in the Bronx, so expect Stewart to be the guy behind the plate to start the season.

Welcome to the last day of my COAH Community kickoffs! I have a really exciting giveaway for you today, so make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I am so excited about how well this week has gone and how fun it has been in the community. I will be hanging out there and hope you all will continue to join me! As you might be able to tell from my blog, I H.E.A.R.T school supplies! And I have several helpful school supply organization posts to prove it! I mean just look at all of these goodies! I'm a total sucker for freshly sharpened pencils, new glue sticks, highlighters, fresh paper stacks, and those cute little animal erasers that nobody actually uses. Actually one time we found a pack of sushi shaped erasers. Be still my heart. Anyone else like school supplies? And I know you've all seen my supply caddy that literally holds our Ikea school desks in place. I honestly do LOVE this thing! It's called the Making Memories … [Read more...]
COAH Community Kickoff Day 3
Oh my goodness! You guys are so much fun! I'm having so much fun reading your comments, and posts! For today's forum discussion, I thought we could talk all about lesson planning, and scheduling! So let's head over to the COAH Community and talk all about our favorite planning tips and tricks! I personally like to plan out our entire year, even though there's a possibility something will change. It's been my experience that having my year completely planned out makes my year go more smoothly and reduces my amount of stress during the year as well. Changing just one thing is quite easily done. Some people prefer to schedule only a few weeks or months in advance since things might change. Homeschooling schedules can be very flexible based on your own needs, so again, do what works best for the needs of your family. I like planning ahead because it frees up my nights and weekends since all of my scheduling is already complete. All you have to do each Friday afternoon … [Read more...]
COAH Community Kickoff Day 2
Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the new COAH Community! I'm having a blast, and I've decided that this whole week I'll be doing fun giveaways and prizes for all of my new chatting friends! For today's forum discussion, I thought we could talk all about history and geography! So let's head over to the COAH Community and talk all about our favorite history curriculum! We're currently using the Time Traveler's Units and loving them! They include fun hands-on activities that make learning about our history a little more interesting and fun for our family. We also really enjoyed using our Expedition Earth, or Road Trip USA. And since we're discussing history today, I thought it would be fun to giveaway a copy of both of them! I've also added two new categories, so make sure to check them out! 1. Prayer Requests: I'd love for this community to help encourage others, and lift each other up! Use this area to post prayer requests, praise … [Read more...]
COAH Community Kickoff!
Hi everyone! I have some super exciting news! Some of my most visited posts are my curriculum forum discussions. Commenting on old blog posts can be a pain and don't get looked at very often. So, we wanted to create an area where we can have ongoing conversations, ask questions, and generally chat up a storm! So my amazing and talented husband created a homeschooling forum for all of us to use! YAY!! And as a kick off I have a fun week of discussions, and giveaways going on, so make sure to check back daily to see what we're talking about and how to win some free homeschooling goodies! What is this community about? The short answer is homeschooling, but the long answer is everything! I'm so excited about the forum, I hope it will be a great place where we can all go and get to know each other, build up a support group, ask questions, get help, encourage one another, and share fun things! That means that you can come here and talk about … [Read more...]
Best Homeschool Printer Forum
Hey ya'll! Welcome to another homeschool curriculum forum. I had a specific request for a forum on printers, and I thought it was a great idea! After all, ain't no homeschooler getting' by without printing stuff and lots of it! Right now I have a Brother 490CW. I'm sorry Brother, but I really don't recommend you. Sadly this thing uses a ton of ink, and the quality just isn't that great anyway. So as soon as that bad boy accidentally falls off my shelf and breaks, or gets lost in the move… I'm looking into the HP Envy 120 All-in-One printer. Pros: Inexpensive compared to others I like the smaller size, it won't take up as much room on my shelves. Offers two sided printing, energy saver, ink cartridge recycling, can print from your smart phone. Printing, scanning, fax, wireless. Cons: I haven't used it yet, so I'm not sure, we'll see how it does on ink usage... As a side note, I know most homeschoolers are printing fools, so I just … [Read more...]
Homeschool Music Curriculum Forum
Good morning all! Welcome to another homeschool curriculum forum. Today we'll be discussing music curriculum! Music has two parts as far as we are concerned. The first part I like to call "Music Appreciation". To us that means studying famous composers and learning to listen to music critically. The second part encompasses actual music lessons whereby our children are learning to play instruments. MUSIC APPRECIATION: The goal behind the World's Greatest Composers curriculum is to immerse students in the work of each composer so that they are well familiar with their style, methods and music. Much of your time studying will be through open discussion with students and listening to compositions. Upon completion of this curriculum, your student should be able to easily recognize the pieces from each composer studied. They will also have learned several different styles of music, vocabulary, as well as have gained an appreciation for music in general. What is included in … [Read more...]
Physical Education Curriculum Forum
Hi everyone! Welcome to today's homeschool curriculum forum where we're talking all about physical education! I've received quite a few questions about how we are liking Family Time Fitness. And I have to say that we still love it! I did a more formal review and giveaway for Family Time Fitness back in October, you can read it here. If you aren't familiar with Family Time Fitness, they are a physical education program. They provide daily lesson plans as well as video tutorials if you need them. Most lessons can be completed with very little preparation. Although they do give daily lessons, we typically do it 2-3 times per week time allowing. I really love their focus on physical education, and even get reminder emails sent to my inbox to encourage me to continue on with our lessons. How are we doing? The kids are STILL loving the activities, and I like that they're super easy to do without a lot of prep work on my time. I simply print my lesson plans as … [Read more...]
Homeschool Foreign Language Curriculum Forum
Hi all! Today we're talking about our favorite foreign language programs in the homeschool curriculum forum series! For younger students my favorite program is PowerSpeak. It is an online program with fun games and activities that help foster general vocabulary and sentence structure. My only issue with this is price and the lack of levels available. Currently they only offer elementary level 1 and 2, then the next one up is Jr. High which I thought would be too difficult for my 4th grader. Pros: Fun and independent curriculum. No experience necessary to begin. Cons: Fairly expensive, especially if you have multiple students. Limited in levels available. Only 5 languages available My next choice is Rosetta Stone. We tried to use this initially when Strawberry Shortcake was in 2nd grade and it just didn't go well. The curriculum moved way too fast for her, and it assumed a certain level of maturity to infer differences in verb tenses and sentence … [Read more...]
Homeschool Vocabulary Curriculum Forum
Good morning all! Welcome to another homeschool curriculum forum. Today we'll be discussing vocabulary curriculum! This upcoming year will be the first year I'm introducing a more formal vocabulary program into our homeschool. Up until now we've just been reviewing words that come with our spelling program and in our Abeka readers. However this year we're going to be working through Wordly Wise workbooks just to include a little more vocabulary focused work. I've heard fairly good reviews for Wordly Wise products. However I've also been cautioned that they are a secular curriculum so some of the terms used might not be appropriate if you prefer Christian materials. Pros: Fairly inexpensive workbooks. Students work independently. Cons: Secular curriculum. TBD as we progress through it! One other vocabulary curriculum I've had my eye on and planned to use this year, but haven't been great at it are the Vocabulary Cartoons. It is a book full of funny … [Read more...]
Homeschool Typing Curriculum Forum
Hi everyone! Welcome to our homeschool typing curriculum forum! Obviously today we'll be discussing various typing programs and I'm excited to hear your favorites. We've been using Typing Instructor for a couple years now. We purchased the CD version which allows you to create several users. One thing I like is that there are several levels of courses to choose from depending on skill level. There are 20+ typing level courses total, you can start at the very beginning Ages 8-9 Course, the Home Row level, then go all the way up through to an Advanced Keyboarding Course. This makes me think I won't have to search for a new typing program on a yearly basis. They also have fun games top play to help encourage speed and progress. I also like that the program includes a results section so I can see how my students are progressing. What's The Cost? You can purchase a CD version for Windows or MAC for about $30 (You can usually get them at Sam's, Costco, or online.) There is … [Read more...]

"Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has shown off his black eye suffered during their 2-0 win over Monaco to reach the Coupe de France semi-finals on Wednesday." "And PSG manager Laurent Blanc has revealed his intentions to a switch to the Ligue-1 could see him once again used as back up to Brazilian trio, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, and even Marquinhos." "With the arrival of David Luiz from Chelsea and PSG already boasting Thiago Silva in defense, speculation was the club may let the talented 20-year-old leave." "The 20-year-old has found himself behind David Luiz and Thiago Silva at the Parc des Princes and reports last week suggested he remained open to a move to United. But he claims that PSG's stance would have to change significantly for such a move to eventuate." "PSG continued to create the better openings and Lavezzi should Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco broke free down the left and, after holding off a half-hearted Thiago Silva challenge, his delivery found Joao Moutinho but the former Porto man could only shoot" "Ferreira Carrasco held off PSG skipper Thiago Silva down the left, managing to turn and cross to Moutinho, whose underhit swivelled first-time shot fell safely into Salvatore Sirigu's hands." "The power of Thiago Silva within the squad is surely second only to that of importance against Saint-Etienne and Rennes in the league of late, allowing PSG to retain their push for the title with difficult 1-0 wins." "The Brazilian is currently behind compatriots David Luiz and Thiago Silva in the defensive pecking order at the Parc des Princes, but PSG rate him extremely highly, and are hoping to tie the 20-year-old down to a new long-term contract."

Stillwater Mining Reports Production Dip
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) â¿¿ Stillwater Mining Co. said Tuesday that its palladium and platinum production dropped slightly in 2012 but is poised to pick up in coming years with a planned expansion.
Billings, Mont.-based Stillwater said it produced 513,700 ounces of the precious metals in 2012. That exceeds the company's earlier expectations, but was about 4,000 ounces lower than 2011 production.
Stillwater also recycles the metals, which are used in catalytic converters for cars, jewelry and for industrial purposes. Recycling volumes dipped about 41,000 ounces in 2012 to 445,200 ounces.
The company says the first of two planned expansions could begin producing by late 2014, with 75,000 ounces of new production annually by 2017.

- Can anyone of you theology students help me out.
I'm looking for a copy of a bible, of course it has to be
one that is older then the King James version.
What I'm saying is what is the oldest version of the Bible
available? Either on the Web or for sale.
I am compairing passages from one Bible to another, looking to
see how much the interpretation has changed the meaning of things.
Believe this is not my usual course of study so any help or direction
is greatly appreciated.

Maybe what I will wind up doing is several translation from different
sources to see how they differ.

Kruk, M.E., Sandro Galea, M. Prescott, and L.P. Freedman. 2007. "Health care financing and utilization of maternal health services in developing countries." Health Policy and Planning, 22(5): 303-310.
Background The Millennium Development Goals call for a 75% reduction in maternal mortality between 1990 and 2015. Skilled birth attendance and emergency obstetric care, including Caesarean section, are two of the most important interventions to reduce maternal mortality. Although international pressure is rising to increase donor assistance for essential health services in developing countries, we know less about whether government or the private sector is more effective at financing these essential services in developing countries. Methods We conducted a cross- national analysis to determine the association between government versus private financing of health services and utilization of antenatal care, skilled birth attendants and Caesarean section in 42 low-income and lower-middle-income countries. We controlled for possible confounding effects of total per capita health spending and female literacy. Findings In multivariable analysis, adjusting for confounders, government health expenditure as a percentage of total health expenditure is significantly associated with utilization of skilled birth attendants (P = 0.05) and Caesarean section (P = 0.01) but not antenatal care. Total health expenditure is also significantly associated with utilization of skilled birth attendants (P < 0.01) and Caesarean section (P < 0.01). Discussion Greater government participation in health financing and higher levels of health spending are associated with increased utilization of two maternal health services: skilled birth attendants and Caesarean section. While government financing is associated with better access to some essential maternal health services, greater absolute levels of health spending will be required if developing countries are to achieve the Millennium Development Goal on maternal mortality.

SINGAPORE - Singapore's youth suicide rate showed little sign of dropping in 2013 as a charity group Wednesday blamed a widening "disconnect" with family members in the prosperous, hi-tech city state.
View of Singapore, where the city-state had a suicide rate of 9.29 per 100,000 people in 2013
The number of people below the age of 30 who took their own lives held steady at 100, from 101 in 2012, the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) said in a statement -- still nearly double the figure of 58 in 2011.

With serious mental health issues on the rise on college campuses nationwide, community colleges are scrambling to provide expanded mental health services to students.
From nuclear medicine to physical therapy, consider 10 in-demand jobs for community college graduates. With salaries ranging from $50,000 to even $100,000, opportunities are ripe for those with the right training from community colleges.
President Obama recently introduced a plan to deliver free Community College tuition to all Americans across the country. Is it the right call?
In this story, we will not attempt to make a judgment call on whether free Community College is right or wrong for the United States. Instead, we paneled a few experts in education and economics to get their take on the issue. We're showing both sides of the coin, and letting readers decide on their own.

Why Do AFRICAN PASTORS Keep Playin' With God???
in Religion
CHURCH FOLK REVOLUTION RADIO - Pssst... Come here a second... Let me ask you something... What's up with the African pastors, bro? They're REALLY trippin'. You've seen the stories. One pastor preached Jesus was "HIV positive". Another one had his members eating grass like cows while "in the spirit". And recently, the Nigerian government warned pastors to avoid making false claims of being able to cure the Ebola virus or risk arrest and prosecution! We gotta deal with it! LET'S GO!!!

Aimed at everyone in the shipping industry, the Guide explains the fundamental aspects of human behaviour – 'The Human Element'.
Based on a wide range of consultations with maritime organisations, the guide was produced by organisational psychologists gs partnership ltd, for consortium partners UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency, BP Shipping,Teekay Marine Services, and the Standard P&I Club. Aimed at everyone in the shipping industry, the Guide explains the fundamental aspects of human behaviour, which together constitute what the commercial maritime sector calls "the human element". It makes clear that the human element is neither peripheral nor optional in the pursuit of a profitable and safe shipping industry. The Guide clearly shows that managing the human element must take place simultaneously at all levels of the industry. Analysis of continuing shipping disasters has increasingly implicated the human element. The loss of life, the impact on company profits and credibility, and the vast environmental damage that can result from the loss of even a single vessel remain clear. The Guide offers insight, explanation and advice to help manage the human element more effectively, more safely and more profitabiy. "In the shipping industry, human behaviour is the true secret of our sucess. But also makes us victims of our failures. This Guide shows how to navigate a course between the two, resulting in increased profits and better safety for all - It is a must - read!" - Capt David Turner, MCA, head of the development project.

Perhaps you are confusing the Ottomans with Ataturk. Across the Ottoman Empire, through all its centuries there was mass illiteracy and cultural decline. The few places which were exceptions to this rule were the principal cities of Arab and Muslim culture. In these places education was for a MALE elite.

John Boehner is an absolute disgrace. WTF was with his answers at that presser? Was he drunk? You would think the press would not like being disrespected like that. That they would point out his utter disrespect to the American people. But no, they won't lay the blame for this debacle on him. It's "both sides do it" all the time with today's joke of a press corp. Can someone give me some money, so I can get the hell out this embarrassment of a country?

Family: Legume (Fabaceae) Amazing foodstuff and N-fixing covercrop. 100 days to maturity. Our's is the large-seeded "White Kabuli." One of the best sources of dietary fiber, chickpeas help lower LDL cholesterol, and also regulate the blood sugar. Easily grown in the home garden and oh so tasty! Plant prefers full sun and good garden soil. Chickpeas take 90 to 100 days to mature, so get started early--early spring frosts do not bother them, and they germinate fine in cool soil. Prepare a fine seedbed and make shallow furrows 2 feet apart and 2 inches deep. Barely cover seed and tampo securely. Keep evenly moist until germination, which takes about a week. Thin plants to 6 inches apart. Cultivate as needed and disallow weeds. When the pods become full, discontinue watering and allow to dry on the plant. Harvest, thresh and winnow in the usual manner. The green pods, by the way, are also edible. 50 seeds per packet, organically certified
Chocolate Hummus 2 cups whole cooked chickpeas with liquid to cover 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice 2 tablespoons sesame tahini 1 clove garlic 3 pieces (5g) chilhuacle negro pepper skins (more or less to desired color) Salt to taste
directions: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend to a thick hummus. If ingredients will not blend, add sufficient water until they vortex. Eat with raw vegetables, pita bread, rice cakes, chips, etc.

That's the ultimate destination of the liberal/fascist shakedown. Taking everything from honest hard working people.
A new concept called the Control Vest Model 1984.
The CVM 1984 a compressive explosive vest to be warn by everyone for life.
Upright citizens can also receive a judgement wand as an enforcement device.
Two judgement wands pointed at a Control Vest can cause it to implode,"eliminating the wearer's footprint".
Houses automatically light up a C-Vest visitor with one "judgement". If the visitor to a homeowner is mis-behaving, and the homeowner is also a Judge, the homeowner can light up the vest with a second judgement, thus eliminating the "problem" visitor. Extra judges can also be "hired" to be present at home "events".
At the movies, chances are multiple judges would be present to "light up" any individual causing a disturbance, like talking too loud. Any nutcase showing up with a threatening unauthorized "weapon" can be quickly eliminated. This technique could be used everywhere, such as on trains, planes, and of course in school. We would all feel very safe with these, and all guns would become obsolete. A pocket holder is built in to the vest for iPods and smart phones.

White Collar Thieving Alarmists
No wonder more and more guns are being bought. Climategate revealed deliberate scientific fraud and that that fraud was the tool manufactured to rob the public at large. Corrupt bankers used this to trade climate pseudoscience certificates and governments used the junk science to collect pseudoscience taxes.
This has all been done through peoples energy bills, making it the biggest form of white collar crime committed today. This is how corrupt bankers, scientific charlatans and parasitic environmentalists are making a fortune.
When I saw the pic I immediately thought of the 3D magazines…

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION A fury of dots and dashes come trough the receiver. The translator turns in amazement. "A Zero IBU IPA by two breweries separated by sea?" His commanding officer lays a grizzled hand on his shoulder as his eyes narrow toward the horizon. "No bastard ever won a war by playing it safe, son." The International Arms Race is a new type of battle collaboration between hardcore American craft brewery Flying Dog and BrewDog. Zero IBU IPA is an ale brewed with berries and herbs. 2 IPAs that rock. Hunt them both down and see which beer you think deserves to win the battle and the war.

Transportation funding is another key part of the budget process.
Governor Tom Corbett's transportation secretary says widening Route 22 in Lehigh County is one of several local projects that would move forward under Corbett's transportation funding plan.
PennDOT chief Barry Schoch spoke Thursday in Whitehall Township.
He says the key to Corbett's plan is user fees.
"What we're looking at is increasing registration and license fees -- that's what the Senate proposal does," said Schoch. "The governor's proposal is to uncap the oil company franchise tax.. which will be reflected in what you pay at the pump, and uh, in essence.. the more you drive, the more you use the system, the more you pay for it."
The state Senate's transportation plan is more expensive than Corbett's proposal.
Schoch says he and Corbett are open to negotiations.
But time is ticking.
Schoch says less funding will force PennDOT to tackle fewer projects and restrict more bridges by weight.
Pennsylvania has about 25,000 bridges with an average age of 51-years-old.
PennDOT Secretary talks about funding plan, local projects

* Mandatory
RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a simple way of collecting new content from your favourite websites. RSS allows you to subscribe to your favourite sites, and automatically receive updates when new content is published. RSS takes the hassle out of regularly visiting your favourite site to read the latest updates. Rather, it brings the content to you via an RSS reader.
It is not a replacement to browsing but an addition, keeping you informed of the latest news and allowing you to choose what you read and when you read it.
Why would I want to use RSS?
RSS saves time. The MCC uses RSS to deliver the latest news on club activities, MCG sporting events, functions, publications and a range of other developments affecting the club and its members. So instead of browsing the MCC website, RSS automatically tells you when new items are listed in each of those areas.
If I have not used RSS before how do I get started?
The first thing you need is something called an RSS news reader. There are two main types of readers: installable desktop programs and web-based services.
There are many readers available. Different readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to take this into account. Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality that automatically displays RSS feeds. For more details on these, please check their websites.

Skrillex Details Soundtrack for Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers'
The album features music by Skrillex and composer Cliff Martinez, a former Red Hot Chili Peppers/Captain Beefheart drummer who has written a string of great scores, including Drive, Traffic and Contagion. Skrillex shows up on 10 of the 19 tracks, while the rest of the soundtrack is rounded out by contributions from the likes of Rick Ross, Waka Flocka Flame, Gucci Mane, Meek Mill, Ellie Goulding and actor James Franco.
Skrillex had previously promised that the soundtrack would be "more or less traditional scoring" rather than his usual club-friendly material. This may have not been entirely accurate, however, since a press release calls this "a collection of party anthems." Skrillex's collaborations with Martinez are reportedly "electro-house-driven." The album even includes Skrillex's signature tune, "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites."
Spring Breakers will receive a wide release on March 22. This film about a spring break adventure stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and James Franco.
Spring Breakers: Music from the Motion Picture:
1. Skrillex - "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites"
2. Cliff Martinez & Skrillex - "Rise And Shine Little B***h"
3. Cliff Martinez - "Pretend It's a Video Game"
4. Skrillex - "With You, Friends (Long Drive)"
5. Dangeruss with James Franco - "Hangin' With Da Dopeboys"
6. Cliff Martinez & Skrillex - "Bikinis & Big Booties Y'all"
7. Cliff Martinez - "Never Gonna Get This P***y"
8. Birdy Nam Nam - "Goin' In (Skrillex Goin' Down Remix)"
9. Waka Flocka Flame - "F**k This Industry"
10. Skrillex - "Smell This Money (Original Mix)"
11. Skrillex - "Park Smoke"
12. Gucci Mane ft. Waka Flocka Flame - "Young N****s"
13. Cliff Martinez - "Your Friends Ain't Gonna Leave With You"
14. Skrillex - "Ride Home"
15. Meek Mill, Pill, Torch & Rick Ross (ft. French Montana) - "Big Bank"
16. Cliff Martinez & Skrillex - "Son of Scary Monsters"
17. Cliff Martinez - "Big 'Ol Scardy Pants"
18. Skrillex - "Scary Monsters on Strings"
19. Ellie Goulding- "Lights"

By Dan from Boulder, CO
The X5 fixes most of the stability problems of the X4 and is sufficiently less prone to meltdown and gamma-ray blowouts. Gone are the nausea and other debilitating side effects. Prospective parents using the X5 needn't fear siring children with extreme abnormalities. With the fixes and upgrades to the X5, the so-called X4 children will be the last of their kind, thankfully.

Customer Review:
By SantorumVoter from Columbia, SC
We bought this to use on our hairless dog, but were shocked to discover the laser was baconizing his skin. The dog loves licking his new flavored flesh, and so do we. We're very afraid he'll start to gnaw it off, though. The smell is mouth watering and intoxicating. Not the desired effect at all.
Age: 36-40
Customer Review:
By Husky Gentleman
One word review: temperamental.
Purchased the X5 with full faith that it would restore my hair, which was taken from me by parties who will not be named here but nonetheless know who they are. Thus far the X5 has failed to regenerate even a few hairs. I don't know if this is related at all or just a coincidence, but I also find myself regressing to what feels like, and what my doctors describe as, a larval state.

By Greg P from San Jose, CA
I've always been a fan of scientific solutions to health issues. Lasers = more hair. Crystals = more wealth. Polished stones = longer lasting erections. It's good science, and the X5 delivers in spades. I have been bombarding all my hairless areas day and night, and I'm starting to see some strong returns. I've rigged up an amplification system to project the laser outward, focusing it on a large mirror and then directing that mirror at my naked body, suspended via harness from the oak tree in my backyard. The new me is just around the corner.
Age: 41-45
Customer Review:
By Maurice
I am curious how loud this product is, and can you feel it when the lasers are directed at you? I would love to use this on my girlfriend while she sleeps to give her a thin moustache. Like most men, I believe women are more attractive with a thin sliver of hair equidistant between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lips. I must do this discreetly, obviously.
Age: 31-35
Customer Review:
By Janice from Dover, DE
My 8-year-old boy found our X5 and has been using it on himself and his friends. Needless to say I've got a lot of angry parents calling up to ask why their sons and daughters have full, luxurious beards. I can't figure out why the makers of the X5 chose not to include a child lock on what is obviously an irresistible beacon for children.
Age: 31-35
Customer Review:
By hongkong-laser-imports from Fort Wayne, IN
Used an X5 knockoff for a while that seemingly produced zero results. Found out later it was causing internal hair growth. Several expensive surgeries later and they were able to remove most of the hair from my vital organs. Urethral and rectal stubble is not pleasant. Do not settle for substitutes in this matter.
Age: 51-55
Customer Review:
By Aviator Matt
Received an angry visit from the NTSB after I pointed my X5 at some airplanes getting ready to land at the nearby airport. Apparently I was responsible for the crash that killed 280 souls. If I knew what kind of power I held in my hand, I would never have used it so carelessly. I am going to prison now, so I must wrap up this product review. This is too powerful to be a consumer model. Maybe a prosumer model, but definitely not a consumer model. You hold life and death in your hands.

The Amazonians value combat prowess and purity of spirit. By wrestling half naked, they pay homage to both virtues by displaying their battle-forged bodies while preserving as much modesty as their society deems necessary. The gelatin in which they wrestle is symbolic of the fluid nature of battle, a concept the Amazonians call 'akgor-gra.'
Pros: Much more comfortable than my last toilet seat, which was a transparent resin with seashells embedded inside. The outer layer wore off from friction, exposing the sharp jagged edges of the seashells, which were constantly scrapping my backside and causing major cuts and open sores.

Letter: Arguments on both sides of issue to create Millcreek City

millcreek and people residing in millcreek as a rural county area, and not a city, allowes people to be free like the eagles that fly, free in our mountains and what little open spaces we have, as a city we are chickens in a pen, under the microscope of agendaists, who pass over and disregard the importance of individuale persons, for the pupose of funaling power, only to the promonent members of this community,whom already consider them selves of greater importance than others,ie. millcreek park fenced off, with threatening signs,and hog wash about protecting the watershed,after variuos contractors parked every paece of heavy equipment thay could charge someone for right next to the creek, for years. no power should have the right to deny people what belongs to all the people equally; as a rural community people will be of equal worth, as a city, people will be in the way,of what some consider progress, benafiting those who will close the doors of opertunity behind them, and disinfranchising all others.

Durant, Ibaka pace Thunder to 95-73 win over Jazz
Oklahoma City is having no problem adjusting to the occasional game without All-Start Russell Westbrook.
The Thunder cruised to a 95-73 win over struggling Utah on Sunday night while their star point guard took the night off to rest his surgically repaired right knee.
They did so behind 19 points from Kevin Durant, as well as a 17-point, 11-rebound effort from Serge Ibaka - stretching their lead to as many as 37 points in the third quarter before finishing the game out with reserves.
''We just wanted to play our game,'' Durant said. ''No matter who's on the floor, we want to execute a game plan on both ends.
''... Of course, we would love to have Russell out, but everybody stepped up.''
Durant sat out the fourth quarter for Oklahoma City (9-3), which won its fifth straight overall and sixth straight at home to open the season, its best opening stretch since moving from Seattle.
Westbrook missed his first action since sitting for the season's opening two games while recovering from the second of two offseason knee surgeries. He's expected back when the Thunder host Western Conference leader San Antonio on Wednesday.
Utah (1-14), which has lost six straight games, was led by 10 points apiece from Enes Kanter and Rudy Gobert.
The Jazz looked for a spark in the lineup by starting former Michigan standout Trey Burke, the ninth overall pick in the June draft. Burke, playing in his third game since returning from surgery on his right index finger, struggled throughout - finishing with four points on 2-of-9 shooting.
Utah needed a 30-point fourth quarter to avoid its lowest point total of the season.
As it was, the Jazz equaled their worst output of the season, and they nearly equaled their previous worst loss of 24 points - which has happened twice this season.
Utah, which shot just 39.4 percent (28 of 71), is winless on the road at 0-9. It's the only Western Conference team without a road win, and the start is the worst on the road for the Jazz since opening the 1979-80 season 0-11 away from home.
''We're trying to build who we are in this league with this group of guys, and we've got to have more of a sense of urgency to start a game, especially against a team that's this good,'' Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said.
The game was third straight at home for Oklahoma City, which is in the middle of six-game home stand.
Playing the Jazz provided the perfect opportunity for Thunder coach Scott Brooks to give Westbrook five straight nights off.
The Thunder took a 75-38 lead late in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by Thabo Sefolosha, who finished with nine points, and they led 47-30 at halftime.
''Our philosophy is like everybody else; we want to make teams take tough shots, and I thought we did that tonight,'' Brooks said.
Reggie Jackson - starting in place of Westbrook - finished with 10 points. Jeremy Lamb added 15 points and Perry Jones had 13 off the Oklahoma City bench, which finished with a combined 36 points.
''We trust them, we believe in them, and they believe in themselves,'' Sefolosha said. ''They're playing extremely well, they're improving, working really hard, all of them on their game and it shows.''
Oklahoma City struggled in the early going without Westbrook, hitting just one of its first eight shots.
The cold shooting was short lived for the NBA's sixth-highest scoring team, which entered the game averaging 104.3 points per game.
Even without their All-Star point guard, the Thunder hit 17 of their next 29 shots and finished the first half 18 of 37 (48.6 percent) from the field. They led by as many as 20 points in the half, taking a 47-27 lead after back-to-back baskets by Ibaka, and the Jazz - 29th in the league in scoring - offered little resistance.
Utah shot just 33.3 percent (13 of 39) in the first half.
''When you're not scoring, it puts a lot of pressure on your defense to stop a team to keep the game close,'' Jazz forward Marvin Williams said. ''Unfortunately for us, the team we had to stop was Oklahoma City. That's how a game can kind of get away from you pretty quickly.''
NOTES: The streak of Oklahoma City fans hitting halftime shots for $20,000 ended at two after a fan air-balled his second-quarter attempt. ... Thunder fans have hit five half-court shots during the 2013 calendar year ... Oklahoma City was 34-7 at home last season.
