Video: Katy Perry's Dorky Alter Ego Has an Alter Ego in "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" (Her)
Categories: Music News
Courtesy of Kathy Beth Terry's Facebook page |
But Kathy Beth Terry did not make an appearance on Saturday, which is too bad. I'm probably not the only one who wants to watch Perry perform in headgear, braces, and a mustache.
Nothing would be better than watching a pop princess embody a goofy teenager who can belt out amazing notes while stumbling all over the place -- because the stage is already too distracting with bubbles, fireworks, laser lights, and water guns. Perry's an incredible showwoman -- she's here to party, and that's how she sings to her fans -- but she's not known for her dancing. Instead she's remembered for the over-the-top bright-blue wig, the white sequin dress with spinning red peppermint wheels, the shiny-silver "Hershey's Kisses" two-piece swimsuit that has the white strings streaming out of the "nipples." To put a snake around her shoulders, so she can dance seductively with it, would not be her.
Kathy Beth Terry did get a shoutout, though. For her cover of Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'," after rapping a few lines quite well, Perry began to play the flute. She faux-messed up the melody, then openly admitted that she can't play the flute -- and then remarked: "That was such a Kathy Beth Terry."
Perry currently only embodies Kathy T. for Twitter, Facebook, and this music video, which showcases stars such as Corey Feldman, Hanson, Debbie Gibson, Kevin McHale, and Kenny G, during Saturday's performance photos of ordinary kids flashed on the screens. No denying that the song, which Perry herself calls a "slut jam," is very catchy.
Katy Perry was Katy Perry when she performed "Last Friday Night" at BankAtlantic, and Katy Perry was Katy Perry when she performed an acoustic version of Rebecca Black's "Friday" as well, introducing the song by saying: "Moms and dads, listen, you may not get this next song, but just go with it." Black appears in "Last Friday Night" as a trusted friend who helps transform Kathy Beth Terry into the "hot girl" at the party -- which begs the question: Does Katy Perry's alter ego have an alter ego? And if Katy Perry's alter ego does have an alter ego, that alter ego is Katy Perry.
Here's the video:

It's February! The month of Brad's birthday. Should I do something for it? I know we're going on a field trip to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. on his birthday, so I could tell him a few good Holocaust jokes. Or I could burn a playlist for him starting with the songs Peter, I Love You And I Hate You by Pop My Cherry and Too Beautiful by Pansy Division. I think that would be pretty explicit about my situation. Too bold, though; so bold that he probably won't accept it, so I don't think I'll do that.
He's always unbelievably cute. It's weird that he looks perfect every day. I talked with him a lot today. I think it went well.
I used my software that I make music on to put the Tool songs Wings For Marie, 10,000 Days, and Viginti Tres in one and play them simltaneously. It sounds great. It's a very original idea that Tool had, too.
Don't know about the joke, but giving a gift sounds like a wonderful idea. Even if you still don't want to talk to him about your thoughts, it seems he would not mind receiving a gift from a friend.
Mixed cds are always fun...personal but simple. And it would be his choice whether or not to read much into your selection of songs
Keep rein on your urges! Don't do anything that has even the slightest possibility of backfiring...
Just try to stay close to Brad and engage each other in as much conversation as possible. Believe me! By the end of the day, each of you will have formed a pretty good idea as to which "next step" may be safely pursued! :)

WALLA WALLA -- A lockdown of the Washington State Penitentiary's West Complex will likely continue through Tuesday.
Inmates in the four living units, Delta, Echo, Fox and Golf, will continue to be confined to their cells today through Tuesday afternoon, according to an operational plan posted on the prison's website. All recreation, education and work assignments have been canceled.
The entire West Complex was placed on lockdown the night of Feb. 4 after a fight between four inmates in the commons area of Echo unit. Correctional officers who moved in to break up the fight were assaulted by two inmates. Four officers were injured.
An investigation into the assaults is continuing, said Shari Hall, prison spokeswoman.
The remainder of the prison is operating normally except that all visitation to the West Complex is canceled until further notice.

I'll make a post with a real concern, and problem with the game, that makes game play worse for everyone. And lets see what riot says. I'm going to talk about towers. Tower are too weak, a level 4 player with cloth armor can take 5-6 tower shots without dying, meaning diving a top lane is far too easy, and there is literally no way it can be defended alone against 2-3 champions even 5 minutes into the game, they can easily just dive you and take 1-2 tower shots each, and get way taking almost 0 damage. At this point you can easily be zoned from your tower completely by top lane and the jungle, while your tower kills wave after wave of minions, you have to sit and do nothing, because if you try to go farm will get dove and die. The solution, towers need to do more damage at early levels, or have flat armor pen.

An unfortunate encore; but RCB gear up for IPL-5
Perceptions can be deceiving. So can the visible elements of pitch, weather etc. RCB deserve more credit than they will garner.
While some people assessed the CLT20 2011 final, unsuccessful for RCB, as mediocre cricket overall from both sides, one wonders if the nature of the pitch has not been sufficiently assessed? It was reportedly a slightly 'improved' one from the IPL but one wonders if the preparation was truly different. After all, it would be made to suit Chennai Super Kings and their key bowler R Ashwin and therefore retained as a spinner's pitch, but unfortunately a 'crumbling' one.
When Royal Challengers Bangalore batted, shot making looked extremely difficult because the pitch would simply not allow the ball to come onto the bat. One had hoped that reports of the improved pitch would be proven true but that was not the case. As much as fans cried out in anguish when seeing the aggressive Mayank Agarawal hit out to long off, they should realize that the youngster needed to make use of whatever 'juice' was in the wicket to ensure the run-rate was at least near par. Later on, scoring runs at the same pace would be very difficult.
It's a chance one needs to take, but the pitch simply didn't respond to the batsman's shots. While this may sound like an excuse to defend RCB batsmen, aficionados will realize that even Virat Kohli's and Arun Karthik's shots were necessary. Well, one thing is for sure that those batsmen out there wouldn't play those shots unless they had thought them through. It just was again, just one of those days.
RCB fans would also remember that the Mumbai Indians managed more sixes, even though intermittent, during various stages of their innings. Well, Malinga joined in the six hitting too. Definitely there was more in the pitch to aid the batters when Mumbai batted. It would be quite wrong to say that RCB crumbled while for all visible purposes it appeared they did. In actual fact the pitch did. Our batsmen out there looked quite sensible. There were distinct periods of playing out dangerous phases and then there were necessary bit-shot attempts. Somewhere, we have to cut our players some slack.
Tiwary's handsome hard-hit for a six barely evaded the fielder overhead, meaning the same man who effortlessly launched into the 10th tier of the Chinnaswamy Stadium on its rather different pitch could hardly get his pile driver anywhere near that number of tier in the Chidambaram Stadium.
The discussion then shifts to whether some healthy changes are necessary for preparing T20 pitches all over the world? If a wicket 'shifts gear' so rapidly from the 21st over of the match to the 40th, can it be considered conducive to fair cricket? An honest look at the world of T20 would reveal that the format has been about event organizing and TV broadcasts whereas intellectuals in the game now need to put under the scanner pitches like the Chennai one? Is it possible to play on two different surfaces side-by-side on the pitch, by switching pitches after half time? Both teams may play on slightly different pitches but at least get life out of them? It's an oxymoron to say that a batsman should extract 'juice' from the pitch but doesn't the evidence show for itself?
If such a change-idea is good (nothing can be called revolutionary today), it would be a challenge to protect the non playing pitch during either halves of play from the fielders' spikes. With today's facilities and technology, there might just be a way. Again, captains can toss to decide who wants to bat on which surface.
Of course, the more conventional approach would be to take the 'juice' out of the toss on such surfaces. Perhaps abolish the toss and give the batting or bowling option to the team that has done better on performances in the league or Net Run Rate. Sure, the disadvantages to the side batting second at Chepauk-like pitches will be the same but at least their opponents will have 'earned' the right to choose what to do first.
Well, it's been an entertaining tournament. RCB fans must take heart that their team fought back from a near exit situation to become hot favourites but just about missed the crown. Next time.

Does anyone else use Picasa to store their photos? For some reason, the pictures have been coming out washed out when uploaded to web albums... I even had to use flickr to get the color of the lipstick from yesterday to show clearly. Kind of frustrating since I have my blogging groove down to a science. Anyway, that was a long-winded way of saying the colors you see are slightly desaturated. My Sunday rainbow was way more rockin' than it appears to you now.
The light cardigan is a godsend come spring (aka expect to see it often.) I use it to layer over tanks, which I don't wear alone. The shirt underneath is just what I need for a Sunday at work, where I lead walking tours in the blistering heat: light, airy and sleeved. You'd be amazed at how infrequently those descriptions appear together in one garment.

The site is owned by The Land Trust and managed by the Forestry Commission
Dinnington is fast gaining a reputation for its birdlife, over 50 species have been seen in a single day.
There is a bird hide overlooking the wetland area so you can see what interesting birds are visiting the site.
Close to the local community this woodland and wetland area is full of newly planted trees and wildflowers.
The woodland is fantastic for an evening walk or an afternoon out with the family for fun and picnics.
What do other visitors say?
4 StarsLinzi Robinson, 7/Nov/2010Attended Halloween Horrors during half term had a great time, doing the halloween trail and pumpkin carving the kids loved it. Great to be able to go out entertain the kids get fresh air and it was all free. We will go there more often it's a great local walk and the kids can run about. Also loving buggy fit there keep up the good work and Thank you my little boy is enjoying walking and exploring
4 StarsLouisePorter, 1/Nov/2010For the second year in a row my children and I have taken part in the 'Halloween Horrors' at Dinnington comunity woodland. On both occasions it has been a well organised, interesting and fun afternoon that all the family have enjoyed. My children especially liked the fact that they came away with pumpkins that they were able to help make and the quiz along the way was entertaining for all ages. This is a free activity which is always a bonus - but if you were to place a small charge of ■2 it would still be very good value for an afternoon of family fun. A huge thankyou to the Rangers for organising it and we will look forward to participating again next year.
4 StarsNancy Marris, 30/Oct/2010What a fantastic event. I am surprised that t5here was no charge. This is good,but the current climate dictates a charge for the event i feel to continue. I have certainly no problems in a charge for further events being levied!

Rock The Boat (Brother Bruno Rework) Aaliyah
Brother Bruno revisits Aaliyah's classic slow jam.
January 16th found many of us reflecting on Aaliyah's timeless body of work, Brother Bruno being one of them. The electronic producer decided to put a new spin on one of the R&B legends definitive cuts, adding a breezy nostalgia to "Rock The Boat" with the tasteful addition of some warm synths.
Quotable lyrics:
"Ooh, baby, I love your stroke/ 'Cause you, 'cause you get me to where I'm going/ And sure you'll get my vote/ 'Cause I believe, I believe you know just what you doing now/ Baby, now we can coast/ Let's do it in a hurry/ That's too slow/ Go ahead and put that thing in over drive"

Hi, new user here...
I'm the mom of a 9 year old who recently went back to play Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on the Wii, only to find someone deleted his saved game. He had finished all of story mode and nearly half of the free play levels, and had bought ghost Yoda and other major characters. As he's only allowed to play on weekends and holidays, it took him years to get all of that done. Does anyone know if there is anything we can do to recover all that progress without having to go back and spend the next few years doing it all again? |

Winterberg Nightlife
I am that person too, because I just love to play poker with my friends for low stakes and it's more about the fun than the poker. The basics of our game of poker are simple ... the object of the game is to win the pot - or the sum of money being wagered throughout the course of a game. Nothing makes a game of poker more fun than playing with your friends.
For us it is just the fun, the stakes are low and the beer is right there in abundance. Some fast food to complete the setting and off we go. Whenever you're lucky you will win €10,-, or not lucky lose about the same amount of money. But this still includes having a lot of fun with your friends and that makes these kinds of nights priceless! Have fun and game on!

Winterberg Transportation
Are you nervous about taking your baby or child on a plane trip? You aren't alone, most parents are nervous about it. We have moved with the kids to Alkmaar by car this holiday and drove some distances by car on when we were there and we learned a few things that hopefully will help you.
Bring books, old favourite toys and new surprise toys. Do remember that balls are not a good idea as they can end up anywhere! Our best buys were definitely books, especially sticker books are great! They can peel the stickers off, are glossy, have thick pages to turn easy, have bright colours and come in endless subjects. They're a nice break from the other books your child might be tired of, too. Put aside fears of setting poor eating habits, and bring on the snacks! We told Iris: "Welcome to the world of boredom eating."
Toy bars meant for stroller use are a big help in the car, as they often feature toys plus a snack cup, and are big and easy for you to grab from the front seat for refills. During the car trip it's always a good idea to play a game and sing some songs. It sounds rather easy, but it does work!
We only have one last statement! Just do it! Don't be afraid that it might go wrong. We have learned this, because we have been travelling with Iris from the beginning. She was only 6 weeks young when we had our first short vacation and stayed in a hotel. Iris has been used to it rather fast and (maybe because of it) has always been an easy kid to get along with.Related to:- Motorcycle

Winterberg Warnings and Dangers
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the catchy title of the 1992 bestseller by John Gray, succinctly expresses an ancient dilemma. What--if anything--do men's and women's brains do differently?
The general statement that men and women respond and behave differently under the same circumstances is true; For example, from the crib, male babies tend to be more aggressive and females more passive. As adults, in spatial operations, men have the edge in such skills as negotiating a maze, reading a map, and quickly discriminating between right and left. Men also perform better than women when asked to visualize an object and imagine rotating it. On the other hand, women tend to perform better than men when asked to look at objects of different shapes, sizes, and colors, and then to group them in some order.
This still doesn't explian why a woman turns the map all around when a man is asking for the road to travel, while I like the map at one point so I can better visualize our position. Help!Related to:- Motorcycle

With all the hubbub about all things London (they had some kind of sporting event somewhere in that area or something), I thought it appropriate to share a little London music. The band Mumford and Sons may not be known by everyone but they are slowly gaining international notoriety, including here in the states. Their debut album, Sigh No More, even garnered a couple of Grammys. So, in what may be a ploy to gain more fans, the band has decided to release another album called Babel. Both are available or soon to be available at CCPL. Their rootsy approach to music can certainly be compared to Americana even though they are British.
Meanwhile, if you are waiting for the new Justin Bieber CD, Believe, to become available to check out or that other Canadian Carly Rae Jepson and her catchy song "Call Me Maybe" to finally arrive at you local library or heck that Josh Turner guy that sings country music, try Mumford and Sons. They may not be in a constant rotation on your favorite radio station but you may find you just might like them.
If you find yourself liking the awesomeness of Marcus Mumford (that's the Mumford in Mumford and Sons, but the other guys are not really his sons) and his merry friends, then there may be some other bands you may enjoy that might be at the library. For instance, The Black Keys, who are from Akron, Ohio, which is not England. Maybe try Band of Horses, who are also American. Or something new and not British like the Lumineers. One more non-Brit, you may like who is absolutely fantastic is Ray Lamontagne. Besides, it doesn't hurt to check out new music at the library; it's free (as long as you return it on time), so why not try it?
We all like different music and we all have different tastes. There are a ton of different musicians and music you may have never heard before but may come to like. Those were just a few suggestions; go to the library and find your own new favorite artist.

Clutching his mike, Sevcec kneels gingerly on the moist earth, tapping a greenish-brown root with his free hand. "This is our point of departure," he says, gazing earnestly at the camera. "A root of Cat's Claw found on the Schuler family plantation in the heart of the Peruvian jungle. This is the beginning of a process that ends with the production of a capsule or tea that many people say has dramatically changed their lives. Some say their lives have been saved," he adds, his voice softening as he lets the words sink in.
What follows is a curious segment of Sevcec, the popular Spanish-language talk show that airs locally at 4:00 p.m. weekdays on WSCV-TV (Channel 51), the local affiliate of the Miami-based Telemundo network. Veering into territory most commonly occupied by infomercials, the host hypes the Schuler family's crop, a plant touted as a miracle cure for everything from arthritis to AIDS, not to mention myriad varieties of cancer. This hourlong show was filmed in Peru and at Telemundo's studios in Hialeah, where the South American footage was screened before a live studio audience. The episode, which first aired in February, has been repeated at least three times since.
The publicity generated by the show, coupled with a barrage of advertising in the Spanish-language media A including Telemundo A has no doubt contributed to the drug's delirious reception by local Hispanics. After his grandmother tried it and found it effective, Miami chiropractor Jose Pelayo began recommending Cat's Claw to patients suffering from arthritis and joint pain. In the past six months, Pelayo says, 100 of his patients have experimented with the remedy. "I've found that there's a positive effect from using the product," he asserts.
Unknown in the United States eighteen months ago, Cat's Claw is now a consistent seller at GNC (General Nutrition Centers) and at pharmacies that cater to a Hispanic clientele. "We get good feedback from our customers," says Lazaro Quintana, a manager of the GNC at Bayside who estimates he sells a dozen bottles of the coffee-colored capsules each week. "They continue to come in and buy it. They say this stuff is excellent." GNC staffers say most Cat's Claw customers are Spanish speakers, and clerks say business is even brisker in Hispanic neighborhoods.
Patrons often cite the product's endorsement by a Mexican actor who believes it cured him of prostrate cancer.
The actor, Andres Garcia, was prominently featured on Sevcec's show. (Not to be confused with Andy Garcia, a thespian more familiar to Miami audiences, Andres Garcia is a Tom Selleck look-alike with salt-and-pepper hair, squinty hazel eyes, and a raspy voice.)
"My first question is for you: Are you totally cured?" Sevcec asks Garcia.
"Totally cured," a grinning Garcia replies as the studio audience, composed mostly of middle-age women, applauds loudly.
The give-and-take sets a pattern for the rest of the program. An older man who had been diagnosed with sarcoma tells how the cancer began to metastasize shortly before he began taking Cat's Claw.
"Would it be valid to use the word dramatic to describe the change you experienced?" Sevcec wonders. "Was it a change like day and night?"
"Yes," the man responds, explaining that three tumors had multiplied into nine. "I didn't think I had long to live."
"And has there been a change in the number of tumors?" Sevcec persists.
"They have all disappeared," the man announces, and again the applause booms.
After several such exchanges, Sevcec resumes airing footage from his trip to the Schuler Cat's Claw fields and factories. "Many people in Peru say that this will be the start of a phenomenon that will revolutionize medicine in the last part of the Twentieth Century," he exalts, the camera panning across lush tropical foliage. Although the host delicately acknowledges that Cat's Claw has not yet been accepted by "Hippocratic medicine" -- which is to say that it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- he refers the audience to "studies" and "analyses" of the alkaloids found in the plant. "But why complicate things with technical explanations when we still have the opportunity to see this fabulous landscape?" he concludes.
A brown tubular vine that grows in Peruvian rainforests, Cat's Claw (uncaria tomentosa wild DC) gets its name from the wickedly curved spines sparsely scattered along its length. The plant's roots are ground into powder and pasteurized to remove bacteria, then packed into gelatin capsules and marketed by several different companies in the United States. The recommended dosage is two to six capsules per day.

I've talked to Kahr and replaced the slide stop and it's spring but the pistol still has problems locking back when the last round is fired. This is an intermittent problem with all 5 of my mags. Intermittent when held with both hands and it never locks back with one hand. Tightening my grip helps somewhat but then I start pulling my shots off mark. I don't think it's limpwristing as I have no such issues with my G36 and that's a small .45.
Anyway, they have it and will see what they can do and will send back to Kahr if need be. Oh, and it's got about 700 rounds through it so it's well broken in.

An audit found that the Department of Defense's Tricare mail-order pharmacy program cost the government and beneficiaries less money than retail pharmacies, according to Express Scripts Inc., which administers the program.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ST. LOUIS – An audit found that the Department of Defense's Tricare mail-order pharmacy program cost the government and beneficiaries less money than retail pharmacies, according to Express Scripts Inc., which administers the program.
The pharmacy benefit manager said Wednesday that at the request of Congress last year, the DoD Inspector General conducted an audit of the Tricare mail-order services and found that it saved 16.7% — about $67 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 — when comparing the amount spent by the government on prescription drugs through mail order with what it would have cost at retail pharmacies.
According to the PBM, the Tricare mail-order pharmacy program has 9.6 million beneficiaries.
"The Tricare mail-order pharmacy program [TMOP] has features that are advantageous for beneficiary health," Nancy Gilbride, vice president and general manager of Express Scripts' Federal Pharmacy Services, said in a statement. "Another benefit of the TMOP program is the automatic refill and shipment option designed to ensure beneficiaries' medications are available on time without lapse. The TMOP program provides cost savings to the Department of Defense while potentially preventing health risks to DoD beneficiaries.
In addition, Express Scripts reported, the DoD Inspector General's analysis found that prescriptions filled through the mail pharmacy program were 99.997% free of clinical errors, such as shipping the incorrect pharmaceuticals, while retail pharmacies on average were 98.5% error-free. The PBM attributed the higher dispensing accuracy, in part, to automated filling of high-volume pharmaceuticals.
"We performed this audit on the Tricare Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP) program as requested by congressional members from the Senate and the House of Representatives. Congressional members indicated that their overall concern was whether the TMOP program was providing prescription drugs in the most efficient and cost-effective manner," stated the DoD audit report. "We determined it was generally more cost-efficient for beneficiaries to obtain pharmaceuticals through the TMOP program than through retail pharmacies. In addition, adequate controls in the TMOP program over dispensing pharmaceuticals were in place."

Has anybody else been rec emails informing them of fantastic winning in the NOKIA Mobile Promo 142nd anniversary - by all accounts I have won 91K GBP if I do a,b & c ?
Spam and a scam, most likely.
hi nick2860...i did received the same message "Nokia Mobile Promo" few days back... and this guy was offering me an amount of 147K Pounds + N92...WOW! It's an offer i can't resist! Then after repying the text, this guy called me and asked to fill in this and that...and he also wants me to fill in a payment release form in order for me to claim the money..but they want me to pay for the delivery cost!
i was thinking if it's really scam or what...Is it true that Nokia is having its 142nd anniversary? does anyone knew about this?
Brunei Darussalam
It is a scam. Nokia is an old company (and hasn't always been doing just mobile phones), but it has no "142nd anniversary" or other email sales campaigns.
The company history you can read here: http://www.nokia.com/A4303001
Definitely is a scam. Ignore those emails and DONT EVER GIVE ANY DETAILS TO THEM. If your details is given, I am not sure what they are going to do with your details, may be to hack your account or to estimate how much money you can provide to them. At the end, you will lose your money.
If someone is giving you a valuable stuff and money and they have to ask you to pay delivery, it is always something wildcat business...
thanx guys...
but too bad..i've already gave them my detail....just my background actually..
not my account number...that was close!!
Has anything been done about this? I've just received a similar message and would like to guard other addressees against replying to it... as I understand it the senders make their money by asking the lottery "winners" to send them money to cover insurance and shipment costs... Is there an email address at Nokia we could forward this type of email to? And add the senders to the reply while we're at it, so their address can be visible and they can KNOW we're not stupid enough to fall for their phishing attempt...
Thanks for letting us know,

There is not a lot Nokia can do and sending more mail to Nokia won't change anything. There is always someone that is greedy and gullible and there is always someone that will take advantage of the greedy and gullible.
At least these are obvious, but not as obvious as the spam mail I got this morning saying I have an extra $1,549 tax rebade coming... with a return addresss in Taiwan
True, thanks for taking the time to answer anyway! At least I know I won't be fooled...
I've received such sms to, is that for real? A sms from Nokia in Spain that said i won 17000 euros in a lottery and I must send 1000 dollars for registering and shipment and...
Can anyone help me please?
No, it is not for real. Nokia wouldn't just pick someone and give them the very large prize of 17000 euros without them registering in any kind of competition organized by Nokia. And what would be the point of Nokia asking you to send 1000 dollars?

MAGNETAWAN – There has been a shift in the public works department.
During the Jan. 23 regular meeting of council, council approved the hiring of consultant Noel Waters for "special programs" in the public works department.
According to Mayor Sam Dunnett, one of Waters' main tasks is to identify shovel-ready projects within the municipality in order to take advantage of government funding opportunities as they become available.
"We were looking for someone and he put in a proposal," explained Dunnett. "So he's been hired on. This is not unusual."
When questions arose during the Jan. 23 council meeting from a local resident regarding the perceived overlap in the roles of Waters and operations and roads manager Ron Catcher, Dunnett first said the two men were not doing the same job, but upon further questioning from the resident, Dunnett agreed there is an overlap.
When Dunnett was asked how having two people doing the same job would save the Municipality money, Dunnett said, "I don't know if it will save any money."
According to Clerk Roger Labelle, Waters' fee is $100 per hour. Labelle said the maximum number of hours to be contracted to Waters would be 100 for the year. He said Catcher's salary is in the $70,000 range, plus 25 per cent in employment benefits.
Although Dunnett said he can't discuss Catcher's position because it is a personnel matter, he did confirm Catcher is still on the payroll, but does not actually attend the workplace.
Catcher could not be reached for comment.
"It's a legal matter at this point," said Labelle.
There was strife in the public works department in November of last year when municipal employees arrived to work on Monday morning to find stickers stuck all over municipal property.
The vandalism took place between Nov. 16 and 19.
According to police, the stickers stated not to stare at a particular individual and were found on construction vehicles and various sites including signs at the landfill and on stop signs.
Staff Sgt. Stacey Whaley of the OPP stated the stickers could have been intended as a practical joke, however it was taken seriously by police and investigated as mischief.
"It was defacing public property," said Dunnett.
At the time, Labelle refused to comment on the incident stating that there were discussions with council and the union. According to police, no one has been charged in relation to the incident.
Catcher has been the road superintendent for the Municipality of Magnetawan since it's amalgamation in 1999.

Maywood Options for Police, Fire and EMS Scanners.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) uses VHF low-band radio communications which can be monitored on any scanner. Cal Fire is high-band and also analog.
The best Los Angeles County police scanner is a digital scanner radio. The Los Angeles Police Department uses a digital radio system. The cities of Beverly Hills, Burbank, Culver City, Glendale, Montebello, Pasadena, San Fernando, San Marino and the Verdugo Fire Center all use the digital Interagency Communications Interoperability System (ICIS) for police and fire communications and a digital scanner is thus also required for these cities. Santa Monica uses digital encryption and cannot be monitored on any scanner. Most other cities in Los Angeles County use conventional analog police and fire radio systems which can be monitored on any scanner. You do need an 800 MHz (non-trunking/non-digital) scanner to monitor the Los Angeles Fire Department. Any scanner will allow you to monitor the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles County Fire and the California Highway Patrol. A digital scanner is also capable of monitoring non-digital systems.

This is pure stupidity, to put it plainly. The New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees has been passed over for Robert Griffin III. This is the first time a rookie quarterback has ever been selected to the Pro Bowl. Well, that's a way to make everyone not even think that your personal vendetta isn't affecting your judgment. Roger Goodell's blatant abuse of power was on display for much of the season as he punished the Saints. The Saints' season was a bust from the word 'go'. They lost to rookie RGIII in the opener in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. This was followed by a loss in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs. In all reality, the Saints had a snowball's chance to get to the playoffs. Given the circumstances surrounding their team like a bad thunderstorm, the Saints could consider themselves lucky to even be in the bottom part of the playoff hunt late in the season. The New Orleans Saints were the unwilling victims of Roger Goodell's Ponzi scheme to assassinate their character, taint their Super Bowl run, and crucify their playoff chances. In the face of all that stood the New Orleans Saints' leader, Drew Brees. Sure, Brees leads the league in interceptions, but he also led the league in some categories that get overlooked. Drew Brees leads the league in the following besides interceptions: he leads in passing yards 4,781; he leads in touchdowns 39; and he leads in yards per Game 319.
You may argue that the offensive coordinator didn't get suspended or the playbook hadn't changed. I'd agree with you on that except for one little detail. Sean Payton calls all the offensive plays when he holds the clipboard and without him, the creativity isn't there. Brees and Payton are lethal together and as you can see not so much without each other on the field. This is Montana without Walsh, Warner without Vermeil and Brady without Belichick. Say what you will, but find me a quarterback who has to carry the whole team the whole season that would do as well. The Saints' defense isn't bringing back echoes of the Dome Patrol either. If anything, the Saints' defense looked more like the Gnome Patrol this year. The Saints gave up 1st wins to the Redskins, Panthers, and Chiefs. Brees can only do so much.
If you think that Goodell didn't have anything to do with this then I'd like to sell you some beachfront property in Arizona. Roger Goodell has had a personal beef with the New Orleans Saints and their players. It's hard to believe that the highest office wanted Brees in the Pro Bowl after being slapped in the face by his predecessor for acting irresponsibly with his power. No, this has 'personal' written all over it, period. Even after the suspensions were dropped, Goodell still stood defiant in the wake of the judgement levied by Paul Tagilabue. Drew Brees was one of the more vocal players who had a few choice words for Goodell. Even though Brees wasn't involved, it still looks like he has taken a hit for his stance on Goodell's impunity. If you think I'm a conspiracy theorist, then you're naive in my opinion. I understand that the Pro Bowl is for the best players in their position for that year. Sure, Brees could've thrown fewer interceptions and played better, but how much do you lay at the feet of one player for a whole team's play? Would Tom Brady thrust into the same situation be better? Would Aaron Rodgers do better throughout an ordeal like this? Maybe Payton Manning would do equally as well, but even then it's questionable.
Why is it that the quarterback who leads the league in passing yards, touchdowns thrown and yards per game not in the Pro Bowl? Interceptions, ah yes, the great equalizer. Excuse me but he is leading the league in 3 categories, 9th overall in passer rating and one of the elite passers in the league. If I don't have you convinced yet, let me ask you this. What's the difference between Matt Ryan and Drew Brees? Not going to the playoffs, not in the Pro Bowl and not on the verge of a Super Bowl are some things that come to mind. There is one thing you're leaving out. Matt Ryan in all his greatness is only 4 interceptions away from being tied with Brees for the season.

The El Paso Diablos have acquired Kelley Gulledge, 32, for their 2012 season with a first overall pick in the league dispersal draft. The Arlington, Tx native and catcher is no stranger to El Paso. After 4 seasons of visiting Cohen Stadium with the Fort Worth Cats, Gulledge will be making the jump to the home dugout. 2012 will mark Gulledge's 12th season of professional baseball in which he has logged 1274 at bats in 389 games with 328 hits, 174 runs, 197 RBI, and 39 home runs.
Gulledge was selected to Baseball America's 2011 Independent League All-Star Team. In 2011, Gulledge batted .339 with 14 home runs and 73 RBI in 372 AB. He scored 74 runs with 126 hits and 28 doubles. Gulledge was also named to the American Association's postseason all-star team.
After playing for the University of Alabama and being named to the SEC All-Tournament teams in 1999 and 2000, Gulledge was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th Round of the 2000 Amateur Draft. Gulledge spent 2000-2003 with the Twins organization playing in the Midwest, Florida State, and Eastern Leagues making to AA with New Britain. Released by the Twins in 2003, Gulledge spent the remainder of the season with the Texas Rangers in the California League.
Gulledge then made a move to the Independent Leagues. For the 2004-2005 seasons, Gulledge joined the Northern League in Fargo-Moorhead where he was named the Northern League's All-Star Catcher and the Independent Leagues First-Team All-Star Catcher both years. 2007 saw Gulledge's first year with the American Association in Fort Worth's championship team. Gulledge was named to the AA South All-Star Team, and earned All-Independent Second Team Honors from Baseball America following the season.
Gulledge was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008, and spent the season in the Southern and Pacific Coast Leagues going as high as AAA. From 2009-2011, Gulledge returned to Fort Worth and the American Association.
The Diablos' 2012 season may begin next May, but Cohen Stadium is host to Championship Boxing at the Ballpark on November 11, 2011. This event will be aired live on Showtime with the main event featuring Las Cruces' Austin "No Doubt" Trout and Frank Loporto for the WBA World Light Middleweight Championship. Ticket prices are $10 for General Admission, $20 for Lower Level Reserve and $50 for Ringside Seats. To purchase tickets, visit Speaking Rock Entertainment Center, Cohen Stadium, Diablos.com, or call 915-755-2000.

Deliana is a small Greek village, located to the far north west of the island of Crete, close to the city of Chania. Visitors looking to spend their holidays in Deliana will find that its unspoilt, typically Cretan atmosphere makes it the ideal destination for a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of the more lively resorts to be found on the island. Nevertheless, there is still a good choice of self catering accommodation in and around the village, mainly in the form of rustic old cottages and farmhouses.
The majority of visitors spending their holidays in Deliana are attracted by its location, close to the Deliana Gorges. These dramatic cliffs are popular amongst hikers, who are looking to explore the rugged, unspoilt interior of this mountainous island. There are also a number on interesting historical attractions to be found in and around the village. Perhaps the most popular is the Agios Ioannis church, which is often considered to be amongst the prettiest and best preserved Byzantine churches in Greece, with its interior walls covered in numerous magnificent frescos.
Visitors spending their holidays in Deliana will find that their visit here would not feel complete without spending some time in the ancient city of Chania, which is some 23 miles away, to the north of the village. The second largest city in Crete is split into two distinctive areas – the Old Town and the modern city. As the name suggests, the Old Town, which is centred on the ancient Venetian harbour, boasts a number of historically and archaeologically fascinating buildings and landmarks. Of particular interest are the Kastelli area, which has been inhabited since Neolithic times, and the numerous impressive buildings surrounding Eleftherious Venizelos Square. Visitors will find that all the usual city attractions and amenities, such as shopping malls, a cinema, museums and restaurants, can be found within the modern part of Chania.
Visitors spending their holidays in Deliana will find that Crete enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate. Summers are warm and mainly dry, with temperatures often reaching the early 30s degrees Celsius. Winters tend to be wetter, when the majority of the village's average annual rainfall of 15 inches falls. The winter temperatures in Deliana average between 11 and 15 degrees Celsius.
Travellers spending their holidays in Deliana will first fly to Chania International Airport (CHQ). Ryanair, Thomson Airways and easyJet are amongst the airlines operating flights here from the UK, departing from London Gatwick (LGW) and Manchester (MAN).

President Sam Matunog and Consultant Adrian Flores represented Segworks in the Philippine Health Outlook Forum 2011 at the AIM in Makati on December 13, 2011. Ambassador Roberto R. Romulo opened the forum with an overview of the theme "Pursuing Universal Health Care and Health MDGs through Public-Private Partnership." He was followed by the annual health review presented by DOH Secretary Enrique Ona. Dr. Eduardo Banzon, the new PhilHealth President announced major initiatives being undertaken by the national health insurance corporation, among them the appointment of Dr. Alvin Marcelo as Chief Information Officer of the corporation. DOH Undersecretary Teodor Herbosa then briefed the participants on the DOH Policy Framework for PPP in Health.
Two breakout sessions then convened, with Group 1 tackling the issue of PPP opportunities for health and in the pharmaceutical sector, and Group 2 concentrating on PPP opportunities in the local government sector.
When the participants reconvened in plenary, Ms. Esther Go of Medilink, representing the Technical Working Group – ICT4H, presented the recommendations of the group concerning, among others, Health IT Enterprise Architecture, Standards, and Capacity-Building. It was a very substantive and well-received report.
With most of the participants staying on until the conclusion of proceedings, the impression that one got is a sense of optimism that by 2015 the Philippines might just be able to dramatically reduce maternal mortality rate to 52.3 per 100,000 births, from the current level of 162 as of 2011, and infant mortality rate of 19 per 10,000 births, from the current level of 24.9. These are some of the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) which the country committed to achieve by 2015.

Legislator Hardwick supports funding for Erie County Fire Training Academy
Erie County Legislator Kevin Hardwick, R-District 10, continues to be an advocate for the County's first responders by voting to fund the construction of a new building at the Fire Training Academy.
During the April 22 Legislature's session, Legislator Hardwick supported a resolution to build a new training building at the academy located on Broadway in Cheektowaga.
"The new building will be a great asset to our firefighters and ensure they have a proper facility in which to train," Legislator Hardwick said.
The building is part of a $5 million investment that was paid for during the past three years. The vote taken on April 22 marks the beginning of Phase 3. The plan calls for the completion of the new training building this year.

5 It's worth every penny and moreLittleChris | 12/05/2008 | See all LittleChris's reviews (10)simply concider how much you get for your money and you'l. realise how much of a good deal this is:great single player story that lets you try out all the characters and abilities with beautiful cut scenes, and free online multiplayer that never gets boring, with custom games if you want a break from rts fighting and you can design your own games with the included map maker to share online.This really is a great game.
5 Multiplayer Action - Absolutely UnbeatableSovietSword | 03/12/2008 | See all SovietSword's reviews (6)Warcraft 3 - predessecor to the great wow!I'd like to make a few points first.1. You will need to buy the expansion "the frozen throne" to play this game to it's true content. Another £8 but worth it like hell!2. After you do get bored of the single player, hope online. The game's content divides out like this.Map creator: 2.99%Single player mode: 0.01%Battle.net multiplayer custom maps: 97%Great games like battle tanks and dota are avaliable on here.Now to convince you.If you like strategy, this is your life in a box!Warcraft 3 has excellent graphics for it's age and having the battle.net multiplayer feature makes the game more versatile than any game you have ever played. The game revolves around custom maps which are made by anyone but more frequently, coorporations who produce these maps!Please buy now, i will cry if you don't!In-game username: Brit_tank
5 complete and utter bargin perhaps my favourite game ever..nathanPS3champion | 23/10/2007 | See all nathanPS3champion's reviews (17)no game of this genre can match warcraft 3... perhaps the greatest storyline in a game ever, i found myself playing just too find out what was going to happen next.. and top of this there is great game play and it is one of the easiest games to pick up and play ever... the campaign is extremely long which is great and unsuprisingly fun all the way through. This is a game for anyone. But on top of all this you get to use blizzards attle.net online system allowing you to play online easily and its extremely great fun. For the price its great! hours of gameplay and endless fun. It's getting on now since its 2002 release but it will definately not disapoint the graphics certainly do not let it down and despite its age it can still easily compete with and beat games of today!
5 FantasticDizzyDan | 25/09/2007 | See all DizzyDan's reviews (15)Blizzard have yet to fail to NOT make an unbelieveably great game to play, still after 2/3 years of playin this game, is till play it regulary online. There loads of different game modes that can be created and played online. Also expansion is worth purchasing as well 10/10 :D
5 All time classic RTSMonochronomicon | 23/05/2007 | See all Monochronomicon's reviews (5)I agree with the other reviewer. This was an amazing game when released and still is. The gameplay is engrossing, and the story telling will keep you glued to the screen. Single player mode is diversified enough since you will play as 4 different races during the main campaign, and that will keep the challenge up at all times, as all races are quite different. The game's age doesn't show too much by today's standards, and you will be able to run it with all details at maximum (including full AA and AF), at high resolutions. And given the price now, grab the expansion pack as well, it's really a bargain.

Rome Segway Tour
Special Offer
Book and travel by February 28, 2015, on our '9:30am Departure' and save 10% compared to the local supplier's price!
This small-group tour is limited to eight people, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your guide.
- Comprehensive tour of the city
- Choice of morning or afternoon departure
- Recorded commentary by audio headphones
Glide toward the area known as Capitoline Hill, and as you approach it you'll be met with the jaw-dropping sights of Ancient Rome. Once the home of richly elaborate temples, shops, markets and government buildings, the area is now a fascinating archeological site peppered with 2,000-year-old world-famous ruins.
Head right up to it and weave around the outskirts of the Roman Forum, seeing grandiose monuments like the Arch of Constantine and Trajan's Column. Hear the history of the site in its heyday from your audio commentary, learning about its status as the administrative center of Rome.
Pass Palentine Hill and stop for a look at Circus Maximus, the vast stretch of flat land where chariot races were once held to entertain up to 250,000 locals. Continue to the Colosseum, Rome's iconic monument on the east side of Ancient Rome, and stop for photos while listening to commentary about the gory, yet glorified, gladiator battles that once took place inside.
After weaving through the crowds outside the ruins, take back to the streets and head to the Church of Santa Maria to see the Mouth of Truth – an intriguing marble slab. Featured in the hit 1950's movie Roman Holiday, the ancient manhole cover is said to be a lie detector.
As you wind your way back toward the center of Rome, stop at a scenic vantage point to enjoy picture-perfect views over the city. Your tour then finishes back at the start point.

This was a highlight of our trip to Italy. We had a great time and our guide was terrific!
Reviewed by: Suzanne H, December 2014
Far and away the best fun I've had sightseeing ever ! Frankly our party of 4 ( all over 55's) were more than a little anxious about trying the Segways but as they say "when in Rome". After the usual "how to's" and general safety tips etc we were off! We covered so much more than we could have on foot or an organized bus trip etc. Our guide was excellent and quickly dispelled any qual;ms we may have had. She was really well informed and gave us a fabulous insight into ancient and also modern Rome. I can highly recommend this activity!

I'm a little in love with little boy euro shorts. I bought these for Gabriel last year and he still wears them, but I totally get that they're not for everyone.
Here are a few options for boys.
1. Polarn O. Pyret. I really love this store. They have such cute stuff.
2. Zara. I'm tempted to buy these euro shorts for Gabriel this year.
3. Mini Rodini. This store also has this amazing pair that I think kill my husband if I made his son wear.
4. Odile. Just kinda cute and boyish.
5. JCrew. You can always count on JCrew for simple stylish stuff!

Is it weird that I'm not really into bikinis for little girls? I'm sure there are cute ones out there, but I guess I just like kids to look like kids for as long as possible before they are teenagers and adults and there's no turning back.
1. Elle. Crazy expensive for a kid's bathing suit, but it's cute, right?
2. Gap. With monarch butterflies? Love!!
3. Polarn O. Pyret. Classic red stripes.
4. Zara. Subdued gray polka dots. This is probably what I'd put my little girl in.
5. Crewcuts. I love the rope belt detail!

1. Old Navy.
2. Nanette Lepore.
4. Miramar.
5. Topshop.
More bathing suit roundups here and here….and one of my first posts last year, swimwear for boys.

Do you recognize my little cutie? My sister works for American Apparel and as a result, we get hooked up with a little modeling gig for Gabriel once in a while. It's really fun! We get adorable pictures of Gabriel as well as a paycheck for his growing bank account!
He's been doing it since he was a little baby! It's great to have professional pictures of him in different stages of his little life! The reason I mention all of this is because people always ask me how they can get their kids to model for American Apparel too, and I never know what to say, but now I do!
If you're interested in having your kids model for American Apparel, send pictures to email@example.com.
And on another note, they will be doing their Flea Market starting Friday, June 8th. You can get up to 90% off and the baby/kid stuff is such a good deal! I'll be there and so will Gabriel!
To keep in touch with American Apparel Kids, "like" them on facebook page here. They often have flash sales that are announced solely on their facebook page! In the meantime, if you poke around on their website, find Gabriel (You might even find me or my sister on there too).

Taking a short break on the tuesday etsy spotlights for a few weeks. I got a request for a roundup of bathing suits for the summer! The first bathing suit roundup I'm doing is one pieces! Gabriel left me with a few impressive battle scars after I had him, so I'm pretty certain that my bikini days are over. Luckily there are more than a few one piece bathing suits that are super stylish and flattering!
2. Madewell.
3. Huit.
4. Marc Jacobs.
6. JCrew.

Remember this post, when Gabriel was an infant, and we took him to LACMA to see the Tim Burton show for his very first museum visit? No? Yeah, you probably don't remember because it was my very first post and the site wasn't public yet!
LACMA is really close to our house, walking distance, in fact. We sometimes spend afternoons sitting on the grass, reading books and just hanging out. It is one of my favorite things about Los Angeles–truth. Cool off topic fact about LACMA, when they were expanding it and digging around to build the underground parking lot, they discovered tons and tons of artifacts, including a sabertoothed cat, her 6 kittens and a mammoth (reason being that LACMA is right next door to the La Brea Tar Pits). How amazing is that? Read more about it in this article.
Anyway, we decided to take Gabriel to see Chris Burden's Metropolis II. I'm actually hesitant to post any pictures of it because photos don't do it justice. It. is. really. really. really. cool. If you don't know about it, it is a kinetic sculpture that is representative of a modern city metropolis, with busy freeways and hundreds of little cars moving super fast, public transportation and massive buildings. Here's a little video, which like I said, doesn't do it justice.
Gabriel was REALLY into it. He stood and stared at the little cars racing around and just kept pointing at it. He loved it and so did we. I recommend arriving just a few minutes before the scheduled time, to see the sculpture without any cars, then watching the magic unfold once they turn it on. It's so neat. More information on the schedule and the work here.
Are you digging Gabriel's cool kicks? I love them! Little converse with soft soles, perfect for a little toddler and designed by a dad to stay on little feet! Pick some up for your little guys and gals at our new favorite store, Sammy and Claire, click here.) We also got Gabriel's sweatshirt in this post from Sammy and Claire.
Another piece that we/Gabriel really loved was the Alight Anew in Indian Yellow by contemporary Latin American artist Jesus Rafael Soto (someone I studied intensely in college as an Art History major–nerd fact).
If you've got a little one, under the age of 17, you can get them a NexGen membership for FREE that will get one adult in free with each kid among other benefits! Neat right?

I'm really excited about warmer weather. My legs have barely seen the light of day, despite the unusually warm winter we've had. In any case, it's sandal season! I'm really loving my Saltwater Sandals, but I have a wandering eye lately (with regards to shoes). These are some of my favorites.
1. Diane von Furstenberg. I love the nude with the neon detail.
2. Gap. I once had a pair of sandals from the Gap that I bought for $5 and I wore them for 8 years, until they fell apart while traveling. I always got compliments on them and I regretted not buying at least 2 pairs that day.
3. JCrew. These are adorable for a balmy summer night out at an outdoor concert maybe? I rarely ever have nights out regardless of the season, but still.
4. Marc Jacobs. I'm supposed to be on a hiatus from anything Marc Jacobs, but these are adorb. The perfect shade of green!
5. Isabel Marant. This is one of those timeless pieces that you keep for a REALLY long time. Then your daughter will see a photo of you when you were young wearing these and she'll curse the day you got rid of them. I speak from experience.
6. Elizabeth and James. These are so stylish, but simple enough not to be scared to wear them.
7. Madewell. What's a collage from me without something from madewell? I'm really into this color. The dark pink, coral, red combo is doing it for me these days.
And speaking of sandals, does anyone have any good nail polish colors that they're into right now? I'm really in a slump. Half way to the weekend!!

It was always pretty casual on the beach, obviously, but I always wanted to find any reason to get dressed up.
4. Flower Clips.
7. Classic Grey Cashmere Cardigan.
I love girl's clothes, who doesn't. But the real unsung hero, are little boys's clothes. They're like grown men's clothes, but miniature! I really shouldn't be looking at new kid's clothes, given that I've received a MASSIVE box of hand me downs from Michelle/Lucas and I'm looking forward to receiving some new clothes for Gabriel tomorrow. Weeee!
Have a lovely week all.
Super duper special kisses and hugs to my favorite almost two year old boy, Lucas, or as I like to call him Yucas. Auntie Ondria yuvs you Yukey.

Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Forget the Fed
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's time to stop fretting over the Federal Reserve, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Tuesday. The CEOs of our great American companies aren't worried and you shouldn't be either.
We received great news from no less than four great companies today: Boeing (BA), Honeywell (HON), 3M (MMM) and Whole Foods Markets (WFM - Get Report), but this news was not enough to buoy the overall markets as they chose instead to focus only on the looming Fed announcement.
But make no mistake, the CEOs of Boeing, Honeywell, 3M and Whole Foods aren't glued to their seats waiting on the Fed. They're too busy making money for their shareholders.
Cramer said there's a cohort of investment wisdom that says the only smart way to make money is to invest in index funds. Why take the risk on individual stocks when you can invest in the overall market and take on less risk to make a little less money, they argue. But this method is lazy, said Cramer, and ignores that fact that some companies have excellent management with terrific long-term themes that will trounce the averages every time. Boeing is benefiting from the need for more fuel-efficient planes while 3M is pursuing relentless innovation. Honeywell is also innovating with new products for autos, planes and refiners while Whole Foods is dominating the healthy and organic food movement. It's these long-term trends, coupled with flawless execution by management, that has allowed these companies to over-perform the averages this year, said Cramer. None of them were overly hard to spot. Cramer said investors shouldn't get overwhelmed by the market worries and the Fed-speak and most certainly shouldn't sell their stocks for other asset classes. Do a little work, ignore the naysayers and use the market weakness to pick up some of these great stocks at a discount.More Stocking Stuffers
For the second installment of his "Stocking Stuffers" series, Cramer added a tech stock and a bank to his "nice list" with Google (GOOG) and Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), two stocks he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Google is the safer, less expensive way to play the surge towards everything social, mobile and the cloud, said Cramer, and there's no denying that Google is the king of online and mobile advertising. And with that ad spending on the rise, it's no wonder Google's gross profits were up 18% in its most recent quarter. Google also has over $53 billion, or $167 a share, in cash on its books for acquisitions and other exciting growth opportunities. Yet, for all its positives, shares trade for just 20 times earnings despite a 16% growth rate. Cramer compared that to Facebook (FB), which trades at 48 times earnings with only a 30% growth rate.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Barela won't run for CD1 seat
State Economic Development Secretary Jon Barela, who ran unsuccessfully for the 1st Congressional District seat in Congress in 2010, won't try again this year.
Barela made the announcement Friday.
"This was a difficult decision, because there can be so much done on the federal level to improve the economy and the lives of Americans, but I feel this is the time for me to focus on working to make New Mexico the best place to do business so New Mexicans have the opportunity to be prosperous and achieve the American dream," Barela was quoted by the Albuquerque Journal as saying.
That leaves former State Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones, Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis and Army veteran Gary Smith seeking the GOP nomination for the Albuquerque-area seat in Congress.
