Delgado runner-up to MVP A-Rod
He's had better years numbers-wise, but he definitely deserved it this year because there were no standout candidates on any of the playoff teams.
I don't believe the MVP needs to come from a winning team, though. I see the award as a player-of-the-year accolade. But if two MVP candidates have similar numbers, I would defer to a candidate from a playoff team (that would be a tiebreaker).
Some writers question how difficult it can be for a player to post big numbers on a losing team that's nowhere near first place. They say that it's more impressive for an MVP candidate to perform in the pressure of a pennant race. There might be some truth to that, but remember, A-Rod has played under plenty of pressure to perform ... pressure in the form of his $250 million contract.
Before and after he signed that huge deal with Texas, A-Rod has been such a consistent performer. His numbers are so good year in and year out, but he's been hurt in the MVP voting because the Rangers have been a sub.-500 team. And A-Rod's work ethic is incredible. He didn't rest on his laurels after signing that contract. He's worked hard to stay at the top of his game.
In the future, I'd like to see the commissioner's office define the criteria for the MVP award so all the writers are on the same page. This year, though, they got it right.
Rodriguez received 242 points in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Delgado had 210 points and Posada 194.
"It means the world to me," Rodriguez said. "I'm so proud. It really is a validation to all the hard work and dedication."
Showing the split among the writers, 10 players received first-place votes, matching the record set in the 1947 NL vote and one short of the 1977 AL vote.
Rodriguez was picked first on six ballots, the fewest for an MVP winner since the New York Yankees' Mickey Mantle in 1957. Delgado and Posada got five firsts each.
The only other player on a last-place team to win an MVP was the Chicago Cubs' Andre Dawson in 1987. Texas went 71-91 this year and has finished last in the AL West in all three of his seasons with the Rangers.
"It's been a rough three years in Texas," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez, second in the voting in 1996 and last year, was the only player picked on every ballot. He hit .298, tied for the major league lead with 47 homers, and led the AL in runs (124) and slugging percentage (.600). He had 118 RBI, second in the AL to Delgado's 145.
Rodriguez was in his third season with Texas, which finished last in the AL West at 71-91. He joined the Rangers after the 2000 season when Texas gave him a record $252 million, 10-year contract and has led the league in homers in all three years.
Delgado hit .302 with 42 homers for Toronto, while Posada batted .281 for the Yankees with 30 homers and 101 RBI.
"Obviously, I was expecting to get the award and that wasn't the case," Delgado said. "If they were going to pick somebody from a team that did not make it to the playoffs I think it would have given me an edge, but that's what I get for thinking, I guess."
Delgado got two eighth-place votes and was left off the ballot by Joe Cowley of the Daily Southtown in Chicago. Cowley also left off Toronto center fielder Vernon Wells, while including Esteban Loaiza and Frank Thomas of the White Sox.
"I don't understand who they vote for," Delgado said. "What team you are watching?"
Shannon Stewart, traded from Toronto to Minnesota during the season, was fourth with three first-place votes and 140 points. Boston's David Ortiz was fifth with four firsts and 130 points.
|AL MVP Award Voting
|A. Rodriguez
|C. Delgado
|J. Posada
|S. Stewart
|D. Ortiz
Boston's Manny Ramirez and Nomar Garciaparra, Toronto's Vernon Wells, Oakland's Miguel Tejada and the Yankees' Jason Giambi got one first-place vote each. Tejada was last year's MVP.
Rodriguez gets a $500,000 bonus added to his $21 million salary, and Stewart gets $25,000 for finishing fourth.
Rodriguez, the first AL MVP since 1979 without a .300 batting average, didn't think he would win this year.
"I felt like I was driving myself crazy over this award," he said.
Because he finished 10th, Seattle second baseman Bret Boone gets an automatic $250,000 raise to $8.25 million.

Remember Stanley Thornton, the "adult baby" who spends his days wallowing in an oversized crib and soiling his diapers on the taxpayers' dime, and who threatened to kill himself if Big Government cuts off the flow of other people's money? Convict Ophelia De'lonta has issued a still more disturbing threat. The inmate at Buckingham Correctional Center in Dillwyn, Virginia is suing the state to provide him with a sexual mutilation procedure at public expense. He says if he doesn't get his way, he'll keep trying to castrate himself:
Ophelia De'lonta, 50, says she [sic] needs the surgery to treat her [sic] gender identity disorder, a condition in which people believe they were born the wrong gender.
"This is not something that I have any control over," said De'lonta, who was born Michael Stokes. "This is just how I was born."
How encouraging that a transsexual can accept the way he was born. But admitting to his own chromosomes is too radical a step toward embracing reality.
De'lonta, who developed breasts with the use of hormones won under a 2004 court order, has tried self-surgery several times in the past. Her [sic] urges had been kept in check in recent years with the help of hormones and other treatments.
But De'lonta, who has perfectly plucked eyebrows and wears make-up, snapped on Oct. 8 when a jail guard at the all-male Buckingham Correctional Center referred to her [sic] as "he."
"I screamed 'She, dammit!' becoming so overwhelmed it was hard to breathe," said De'lonta, who was sentenced at age 18 to more than 70 years in prison on robbery, drugs and weapons charges.
After crying herself [sic] to sleep, De'lonta papered over her [sic] cell door's window and covered the toilet with towels.
Apparently he did this while sleepwalking.
Then, using the knowledge she [sic] gained from mail-order anatomy books, De'lonta spent three hours trying to cut off what she [sic] refers to as "that thing" between her [sic] legs.
She [sic] eventually passed out — and 21 stitches were needed to repair the damage.
"It's like if this doesn't exist, then I won't have any more problems," De'lonta told the Associated Press.
No trouble is so tall that it can't be cut down to size with a little self-mutilation.
De'lonta said that if her [sic] bid is unsuccessful, she's [sic] likely to try self-surgery yet again — even though it could kill her [sic].
If this poor freak ends up bleeding to death from self-inflicted wounds, the media moonbats who indulge his grotesque delusions by obsequiously calling him "she" ought to be tried for collusion.

The worst movie I ever saw was Monkeybone.
omg, jazzman, how could you hate the royal tenenbaums? that's one of the most original films made in a long long time. it's got everything, great cast, great acting, great story, great comedy, great drama, great style. the only reason i could see why you wouldnt like it is if u were expecting a wilson/stiller type comedy when you first looked at the box. i know that's what i first thought and im glad i was wrong.
I know it's always going to be a personal thing, but IMHO I'd stand-up for these films others have nominated -
Napoleon Dynamite, Royal Tennenbaums and Moulin Rouge (sorry Jazzman), Drop Dead Fred (although I haven't seen it in a while), Alien: Resurrection, Bring It On and Unbreakable.
There's a lot of sequels on these lists and captveg has a point - bad sequels are dissapointing; they squander your good-will to the first film.
The Matrix sequels are top of that list for me, Highlanders next and pratically any Disney straight-to-video sequel.
Let the flaming commence!

Oh come on! It wasn't that bad! I was laughing hysterically during the whole thing with Chris Kattan! Monkeybone was just....weird, but not bad.Originally Posted by Gemini Cricket
I just didn't find anything even remotely amusing in Tennenbaums. It was just slow, plodding and boooorrrrriiiinnnng. I knew it wasn't a typical Stiller joke fest, but I assumed that it would at least be witty, or charming, or something. But instead, all I found was cinematic novocaine. To its fans, I'm sorry, but I just found it dried out, over cooked and way too serious about itself, as if the audience was expected to laugh and sit in awe out of obligation to how high brow and refined it supposedly was. Thats just my take though.
But Moulin Rouge? Words cannot begin to describe the abysmal depths of repugnance which that film sends me to. Blech....

Mashiro knows she is the reason for Sakura hall closing, as she prepares to leave school to protect those she loves. The residents search desperately to find her.
— Crunchyroll
While Mashiro is painting, Sorata recalls what he had said last night when Mashiro was present. Both Jin and Misaki notice how Sorata looks so sad. Sorata looks all over the hall for Mashiro, and Chihiro states that Mashiro has left already. Chihiro remarks how Mashiro has changed because of Sorata and her friends. Akasaka has Maid-chan track down Mashiro using GPS. In the art room, Sorata and the gang find Mashiro's painting that reveals everyone except Mashiro in Sakura Hall. The gang search for Mashiro, and Nanami tells Sorata that she will check the convenience store. She reminds Sorata about their promise, and Nanami confesses that she is grateful to have met him. She states that hearing his voice always cheer her up. After Sorata has left, Nanami cries and says that she loved Sorata.
Meanwhile, Akasaka tells Maid-chan to asks Rita about Mashiro. From behind, Rita surprises Akasaka and mentions that Mashiro is pretty stubborn. Over at Sakura Hall, Kazuki visits Chihiro who slapped him, and Kazuki explains that no one told him that his company was going to hire Mashiro. At school, Jinn and Misaki meet Soichiro and Saori. After Jin hands Soichiro a love letter, Soichiro tells Jin that he doesn't need it. Saori blushes when Jin notices that the two are a couple, and she bids Misaki good luck. After Sorata learns that Mashiro is heading towards the train station from the folks at the market, he finds Mashiro once he arrives to the station. Mashiro tells Sorata that it's her fault for hurting Sorata. Sorata explains that that he was jealous of Mashiro, but he states that she has inspired him to fight for his goals. He confesses to Mashiro that he loved her while Nanami arrives from behind. Nanami smiles at Sorata's confession. When the train passes by, Mashiro reunites with Sorata and tells him that she wants to stay with him. Nanami steps in when Mashiro mentions that she has hurt Nanami. Nanami says it is her fault for failing the audition; however, she is glad that Mashiro cared for her. She embraces Mashiro who cries a bit. Sorata tells Mashiro that everyone at Sakura Hall is there for her. Mashiro hugs and thanks Nanami.
Then, Akasaka and Rita arrive to inform Sorata that Jin and Misaki's graduation ceremony is starting.
The following quotes are from the Crunchyroll subtitle script, timestamps are approximate.
Mashiro: "It's all my fault. I worked hard, but Sakura Hall will be torn down... It's because of me! I hurt you, too... You hate me. I... I don't want to stay at Sakura Hall if it will make you hate me."

Provincetown Things to Do
Pilgrim Monument
Perhaps, upon looking at the link, you will feel inspired to visit The Pilgrim Memorial. I as of yet, have not. What I can tell you about the place is that this tower is Provincetown's iconic monument. You read that here.more
People Watching
P-Town is one of the best people-watching places you'll find. You can just park yourself on Commercial Street and watch the action.more
That tower
Perhaps, upon looking at the link, you will feel inspired to visit The Pilgrim Memorial. I as of yet, have not. What I can tell you about the place is that this tower is Provincetown's iconic monument. You read that here.more
Race Point Beach
If you look at a map of Cape Cod, Race Point is at the very northern tip, that little wispy bit of land stretching out into the sea. Part of the Province Lands and the Cape Cod National Seashore, Race Point is a federally protected wildlife area. The beach is fantastic, easily one of the best in New England, and because it is part of the National...more
The Province Lands
Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, a U.S. National Park, the Province Lands are perhaps one of the only untouched natural coastal areas left in Massachusetts. With sand dunes stretching as high as fifty feet into the air, pristine wetlands, and gorgeous sandy beaches, the Province Lands are full of wildlife, birds and plants that are today...more
Renting Bikes
There are a lot of places to rent bikes from, and it's a great way to visit the National Seashore Park and surrounding area. We got ours from Arnold's (address/phone below). The bikes appeared to be decently maintained (although I had trouble getting my mountain bike to shift back into first gear, and the chain fell of my friend's hybrid twice),...more

Provincetown Restaurants
Authentic, delicious and affordable!
New on the scene, a modest little space down the alley between Twisted Sister Pizza and the Portuguese Bakery (on Commercial St., just West of Lopes Sq.) Kung Fu serves homemade dumplings (steamed or pan fried), homemade beef noodles, Chinese meat pies and sesame bread. Sides consist of kimchi and a Chinese cold salad of peanuts, carrots and celery...more
And you can bring 'yer pooch!
We chose this spot because of their great outdoor seating area and the fact that my friend's dog was welcome. All in all, it was a great choice. It was sunny and a little nippy that day so the weather was perfect for sitting outside in the sunshine. Everybody was happy! All four of us had omelets. Three of us had the same type (mine without...more
Fanizzi's Restaurant by the sea
We had a lite supper here...absolutely wonderful shrimp cocktail...tasty salads. You feel as if you are sitting on a boat in this restaurant. The interior decor is nothing special, but noone cares because everyone has water views and I can only surmise that part of the building must overhang the water. It's an amazing spot. Not far from the...more
Provincetown Nightlife
Check out the local theater
Forever PLAID was written and originally directed and choreeographed by Stuart Ross. It's a stitch. Four man show...they are so full of energy fun and great voices...lots of music throughout the show...old stuff from the 50's and 60's. They did a wonderful job with just a few props and interesting lighting. You can have a drink at the little...more
Dream Brothers at the Meeting House...
We always see what's at the Church theater, believe it or not-- the basement of the Unitarian Church does great little shows all summer long. This summer, for our Ptown week, we've already got tix to the Whitman Sings Provincetown concert, featuring songs with lyrics by Walt Whitman. We saw the singer in LA and by chance we'll be there at the same...more
Cocktails and drag
Restaurant cum bar. Great cocktails, food not so interesting (as the waiter informed me, the chef is a 'sauce queen' (!) who drowns the food with masses of the stuff) (I found this information out at Spiritus - see above!!!).Upstairs is the cabaret theatre where most nights there is the 'treat' of the drag cabaret.more
Provincetown Transportation
Leave the car... Taxi's are inexpensive
Taxi's are available year-round (508-487-2222) (508-487-3333) and operate on a flat rate determined by the town ($5. per person anywhere in town and $7. per person to the wharf, airport, or seashore beaches). Taxi to or from the Hostel in Truro would be about $18. for the 1st person and $5. for each additional person going to the same destination....more
Grab a Ferry (No...not Fairy)
Ferry service is offered to Provincetown from both Boston and Plymouth.The ferries offer visitors a flexible mode of transport. With their fixed daily schedules, and their fast service, they can be used for a quick day trip, or for the start of an open-ended adventure where return dates may remain subject to change.And, with their full bars and sun...more
Summer Shuttle Bus Service
There is regular shuttle bus service during the summer (last year it was $1 per person though this may go up some with the price of fuel). Buses run about every 20 minutes and do a loop from downtown Provincetown to Herring Cove Beach, the Provincelands Visitor's Center, and out to North Truro on Rt. 6A, looping around South Highland Road (serving...more
Provincetown Shopping
Stuff you never knew you needed!
And well...... you don't really need any of this. And frankly, you may not want it either. BUT you can't resist looking at, photographing, and maybe, trying some of it on.more
Yeah, they sell seashells by the...
They sell every type, variety, color, product made with, novelty item, and anything else you can imagine that's made of shells or in their likeness.BUT, they also sell stuff like this.more
My Alter Ego?
There are things in life that you can shrug off and not think further about. However, there are things you always regret. I'll always regret not buying this.more
Provincetown Local Customs
Beauty and the Beach
While walking, you will see much diversity: that is the beauty of Provincetown. The best thing to do is be open-minded about the odd art (most of which is stunning), homosexuals holding hands (get used to it), and odd clothing.more
Sand sculpture
There is this artist who build sculpture out of sand. A different one every day.He does ask for a donation but the sculptures are brilliant.more
Homophobics beware! Though the...
Homophobics beware! Though the Pilgrims touched land here first, there's very little Puritanical culture remaining. This is the home of artists, and the playground of the gay. If you have trouble dealing with homosexuals, I suggest visiting Chattem or Hyannis instead. It surprised me on my first visit, but have since learned to live with it.more
Provincetown Warnings and Dangers
safe in Provincetown
Over the years Provincetown has had a slightly seedy complexion (under its more glamorous artistic veneer). But it does not seem that it has earned that reputation if you look at the crime statistics.1 murder in 5 years; 2 rapes in 6 years; no robberies; less than 20 assaults (fights) per year.Provincetown rates about a 2 out of 10, where 0 is no...more
Green Heads, Mosquitoes, and No See 'Ems
As beautiful as the Cape is, bugs are a reality of life here. Day and especially night, you'll want to layer on the bug spray. And if you're going to be outside, be sure to bring a can with you so that you can spray more on later.more
Driving in Provincetown
Driving in Provincetown is very difficult. The streets are very narrow and full of pedestrians. Most visitors park their cars at their residence and walk. However a car is necessary if you plan to travel to the beaches. They are a little ways from the town section and its easier to drive or ride a bike.more
Provincetown Tourist Traps
A place to eat. Since we were there in 1992 - this place might not even be there any more. We were on a family vacation (wife, 2 kids, my mother and my mother & father in-law). My in-laws had been to Providence Town before and they told us about a restaurant that had really good food, especially the seafood. They tried to describe the approximate location, but were not sure of the name of the restaurant, but it was out on a pier. The name of the place we ended up at was 'Ye old Fish House', and it was on a pier. It ended up to be the wrong place, but we ate there anyway. We were there for lunch and were the only people there - I guess that was the first bad sign. Then there was the cat that was climbing all over our table, second bad sign. Then my mother decided that she wanted a bowl of clam chowder, so she asked the server if it was fresh. The answer was 'it was out of a can'. 'Oh well' - we had come this far and didn't feel like looking for another place to eat. We survived, but beware of those 'off the beaten path' places to eat. Sometimes they are there for a reason, and there are also times when they have very good food. This was not one of those times.
Provincetown What to Pack

Provincetown Off The Beaten Path
Camping on Cape Cod
There are two campgrounds in Provincetown, Coastal Acres (www.coastalacres.com) and Dunes Edge (www.dunes-edge.com). They are both walking distance to town and beaches, though Coastal Acres is more convenient... you have to cross the one and only highway to get into town from Dunes Edge. These are your only choices out here & both are OK (but yes,...more
Check the alley ways and sandy walkways
Sometimes you can walk between the houses to where the beach opens up and other times it's a narrow lane between the two main streets. You always find something interesting along the way. We walked so long I thought my back would collapse...but we made it back...and after a bit of aspirin and a glass of wine...a good sleep... I was fine.more
Sex shops
For provincetown, this is not an Off the Beaten path activity, but more a path well beaten ! However, most of us don't spend that much time in sex shops, and the ones in Provincetown are definitely way more "out there" than the Boston Puritan Scene allows. Check them out, they are a lark, and a-plenty on commercial streetmore
Provincetown Favorites
Pretty and Purple
This is the Somerset House Inn. Am not writing a hotel review about it because I did not stay there. But this beautiful house caught my attention and begged for a photo! Maybe you will stay there and write a tip and enlighten me!more
Walkways 'n Alleyways
It's the details that I love and peering into alleys and other "nooks" are one of my favorite things to check out and photograph when I travel. Provincetown has so many of these and I enjoyed looking at each and every one.more
Public Bathrooms
There are two places that you can find a public bathroom in Provincetown. One of them is in the town hall on Commercial Street, but this bathroom often has a long line, especially in the summertime. The other is at the entrance to the pier on Ryder Street. Just look for the place where all of the tour buses are parked and the bathroom will be right...more

|Welcome to Auskick!
Welcome to Karrinyup Saints Junior Football Club Auskick program.
If your little superstar is in Pre-Primary to Year 3, then this is the program for them. We run a full Auskick program on a weekly basis. It runs for the full 15 weeks of the football season and is managed by our level 1 accredited coaches along with the support of passionate parents. These volunteers are assigned after registration and could even be you. Your child will love to see you involved with their chosen sport.
Ancillary to all Auskick years at Balcatta, our Auskick program for Pre-Primary's and Year 1 only, will be extended to Saturday morning at Karrinyup Reserve, Bartlett Cres in Karrinyup.
If Saturday doesn't suit you because of other commitments, then you can choose to join Auskick on the Sunday morning at Richard Guelfi Reserve, Balcatta. We know that families are busy with other commitments, so we providing what no other club is able to offer, a choice of preferred day to play Auskick.
Our 15 week program includes two 'Auskick Nights Under Lights' held on a Friday night followed by a club function afterwards.
The Auskick sessions are divided into 2 parts –
- Approximately 45 minutes of structured training.
- Approximately 45 minutes of pseudo game play.
The Auskick sessions for Saturday and Sunday start at 9:00AM and finish at 10:30AM (excluding Friday night under lights).
At season launch (date TBC) Auskickers receive an Auskick bag packed full of goodies (football, cap, players cards, drink bottle) and a club t-shirt.
Whilst it is not compulsory for our Auskicker's to wear a uniform, we strongly encourage they wear club shorts and socks. This is to maintain a high club standard, ensuring strength in uniformity. Upon game play (pseudo), the club supplies a loan jumper.
At the commencement of the program, all parents will be expected to contribute via a roster system i.e. oranges, washing jumpers or canteen duties. This is managed by the Manager of each Auskick team.
This year in 2015, the year 3 team will also participate in a 6 week modified rules match
against another club. The idea of this is to prepare this age group for the following
year, whereby they begin their next phase of the game – modified rules football.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE – Kidsport Vouchers
Kidsport allows children to participate in sport and recreation, non prejudicial to their financial status. Kidsport vouchers are open to eligible applicants whose children are aged from 5-18years. For further details please visit City of Stirling
To register your child with our family orientated club, you can register online (below). In 2015 you will also need to attend in person, Sunday 22nd February 2015 between 10am to 1pm, at our clubrooms, Richard Guelfi Reserve, Delawney Street, Balcatta to complete a compulsory registration form.

Produced in the méthode champenoise, Keller's 2003 brut is a bottle-fermented sparker from the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast. It was left on the lees in-bottle for a full six years before being disgorged. Recommended as at aperitif, this wine shines with salty or rich appetizers or a strong, washed-rind cheese.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

I am not in Korea any longer and needed to look up where your hotel is. The easy answer is that though it's not really that hard to find, it's not really that convenient from your hotel. There is no subway stop or real landmark nearby and I would usually get as close as possible and then take a taxi. If you send me your email address, I could scan in a business card for them and send it to you.
A better bet from where you are staying is Insadong which is on the same side of the river you are staying on. Insadong is a popular street that all people in Seoul know -- offhand, they have three veggie options, a delightful basement vegetarian restaurant that I really like, a traditional Korean place that is reviewed here (because the owner pushes people to review her) and a 'temple food' place that is pricey but a good experience.

Short and long term disability insurance is supposed to offer policyholders peace of mind. Disability insurance provides a safety net in the event of an accidental injury or illness that prevents you from working. However, many insurers unreasonably deny benefits to which you are entitled. Prompt contact with a lawyer before final denial of a claim is vital to the claim's ultimate success.
If you were denied short or long term disability insurance benefits, contact Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, PLLC, in Seattle, Washington, to discuss your options and protect your rights.
There are two kinds of private disability policies: individual policies, which are purchased by the worker usually on their own, and group disability policies which are purchased by the employer and offered to workers as part of a benefit package. This second group generally means they are governed by ERISA. ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This is a complicated set of regulations and it governs how many disability policies are handled. It has specific rules regarding appeals, timing, etc… One caveat is that all public employees are exempt from ERISA. Even if they are group policies, they are handled under state law. It is important to speak with an attorney about what this means for your claim if it falls under ERISA.
We have recovered benefits for doctors, nurses, and other health care providers when professional disability insurance benefits were unjustly denied. We have also represented a wide variety of other individuals with disability insurance claims, including attorneys, law enforcement officers, public servants, teachers and stockbrokers. We have experience in state and federal court trials and appeals when either a private individual or group ERISA disability insurance claim is denied. We have successfully handled claims with Aetna, UNUM, CNA, Liberty Mutual, and The Standard, to name a few insurance companies.
One of the biggest mistakes disability clients often make is to handle their administrative appeals themselves. In the arena of ERISA claims, these administrative appeals are a crucial time to put your best case forward. Unfortunately, if you have exhausted your appeals and have to file your claim in court, you often cannot give additional testimony or evidence in support of your disability. If the file is closed without the proper information documenting your disability, your chances of prevailing are limited. Do not assume that the forms your doctor filled out that were requested by the insurance company will be adequate to document your disability. In addition, supportive employers do not mean that your claim will be allowed. Employers' input has little to nothing to do with the claim process. Talk to an attorney when you receive your first denial or termination of benefits to maximize your chances of success.
The definition of disability varies from policy to policy. If you don't have it already, request a copy from your employer. They may also give you something called a Summary Plan Description. While this can give the general terms of your disability policy, it is not the legal and binding document. Try to get copies of both.
One of the most important aspects of your insurance policy is the definition of disability. This varies but often fits into one of two general definitions. These are whether you must be disabled from your "own occupation" or "any occupation" to satisfy the policy and get paid benefits. Many policies have both definitions which are used at different times. Often, the definition of disability for the first 24 months of a claim is that to be found disabled you must be unable to do your own occupation. However, this often changes to "any occupation" after 24 months. Therefore, there are many people whose benefits are terminated after two years due to this definition change. Consult us if you want to review your policy or have questions regarding your claim.
In some cases, disabled persons are denied benefits and are discriminated against at work. If this situation applies to you, the attorneys at Scott, Kinney, Fjelstad & Mack, PLLC, can help. We will help you file a disability insurance claim against your insurance company and a discrimination claim against your employer. You deserve to be treated fairly, regardless of your physical condition.

Securing America: Muslim Spying Lawsuit
A group of Muslims have filed a lawsuit against the New York Police Department in an effort to stop a surveillance and intelligence-gathering program that they say unfairly targets them.
FOX News Radio's Jeff Monosso reports in our ongoing series on national security:
Audio clip:
The eight American Muslims, all from New Jersey, filing the Federal lawsuit challenging the NYPD's surveillance program of Muslim mosques, student groups and businesses outside the city, including in Newark.
(Khera) "They've overreached, and they've overreached in a way that violates the Constitution, and that's why we're bringing this lawsuit today in Federal court."
…Muslim advocate Farhana Khera. New Jersey's Attorney General, after a three-month investigation, found the NYPD didn't violate any of the Garden State's laws. The NYPD stands by their surveillance program, saying it's led to arrests of terror suspects and has kept New York City safe post-9/11.

Pudology Chocolate Orange Pud (Gluten & Dairy Free)
Whilst in Holland & Barrett recently I spotted some reduced items. I'm always a sucker for reduced price food...I can't help it when I see a bargain! One of them was this Pudology dessert, made with coconut milk, dark chocolate, and containing zero dairy or gluten.
It's basically a mini chocolate orange mousse style dessert, although more intense and creamy thanks to the addition of coconut milk. In fact they call it a "ganache", which is something more often found as a cake filling.
Whatever it's supposed to be called, it tasted delicious! Very filling, rich and chocolatey as well as being creamy. The orange oil added a lovely zestiness, reminding me of Terry's Chocolate Orange, but richer and tastier. It didn't become sickly sweet and I found that one small pot was very satisfying.
Overall, if you're looking for a tasty gluten and dairy free dessert you can't go wrong with Pudology. I would highly recommend this and hope to try more from their range in the future!
RATING: 8.5 out of 10.
Allergy Information: Made in a nut-free factory but cannot guarantee nut-free. Contains soya.

Hotel Chocolat Pecan Egglets in Caramel Review
In a recent offer from Hotel Chocolat I tried Supermilk 65 Popcorn, Strawberry Egglets, and also these Pecan Egglets. They're described as "Caramel pecan praline sealed in a high cocoa caramel chocolate shell". The caramel chocolate contains 65% cocoa solids.
I was curious how the taste of pecans would work paired with such a high cocoa chocolate. Turns out it's a delicious combination! The chocolate was of course rich and flavoursome, with Hotel Chocolat's usual high quality standards. The caramel added a comforting sweetness, which blended well with the pecan praline. The praline itself was very nutty and intense, with a strong pecan flavour. In fact it was almost too overpowering! Still very delicious though.
Overall, if you're a fan of pecan nuts then definitely check these out this Easter. Be warned though: they're intensely nutty!
RATING: 8 out of 10.
Suitable for vegetarians, contains milk, nuts & soya.

Pulsin Almond & Raisin Raw Choc Brownie
Just a quick review for this Pulsin "Raisin & Almond Raw Choc Brownie", as I have no pictures of the brownie since I ate it in a dark cinema recently!
I bought this from Holland & Barrett as a "healthier" treat, along with some toasted coconut. It contains natural sweetness from dates, raisins and rice malt syrup, with added almonds and cashew nuts that give it a chewy texture.
It was very moist with a strong cocoa flavour, and reminded me somewhat of Naked bars - the texture is very similar - but perhaps more dense and chocolate-y. I wouldn't quite say it deserves the name "brownie" but it's certainly a tasty and nutritious alternative. They apparently count as "one of your five a day", which is handy!
Overall, I would recommend Pulsin brownies if you're trying to add nutrient density into your diet but also want a "treat". They might not replace "real" brownies but they're definitely a tasty and energizing snack.
RATING: 8 out of 10.
Ingredients: Dates, cashews, almonds, raw cacao, raisins, brown rice bran, brown rice malt, concentrated fruit juice, cacao butter, rice starch, sea salt, green tea extract.
Nutrition (per 50g brownie): 205 Calories, 10.6g Fat, 23.4g Carbs, 18g Sugars, 4.9g Protein, 2.6g Fibre.
Gluten Free and made in a Gluten Free Kitchen, at a low temperature using renewable energy. Also vegan and dairy-free. For more info:

Willie's Cacao Ginger Lime Dark Chocolate Review
Waitrose recently did a special offer on all Willie's Cacao bars, and as a fan of unadulterated chocolates I just had to give them a try! I've tried the White "El Blanco" bar before but one I've never sampled was this Ginger Lime variety.
What I like about Willie's Cacao is that they don't use soya lecithin, and raw cane sugar instead of refined sugar. Considering the estrogenic effects of soya, as a man it's not something I really want in my chocolate.
Apologies for the above photo - it was late at night when I was eating this bar! Like all Willie's Cacao bars it comes in a square block and weighs 50g. It contains 70% cocoa solids, and is hand-crafted in Willie's factory based in England. Yay for locally produced chocolate! It contains 12% crystallized ginger which is pretty impressive, plus 0.1% lime oil.
It tasted delicious. The ginger flavour is very strong and fiery, giving a pleasant warmth that is nicely balanced with the tartness of the lime oil. The chocolate is rich and flavoursome, and unlike some dark chocolates there was no bitter aftertaste. The ginger was the main flavour on display though, and its sweet fiery flavour really took over. It worked perfectly with the dark chocolate.
Overall, this is a seriously tasty bar and one I would buy again, but probably only when on special offer. If you like ginger and dark chocolate - try this bar!
RATING: 8 out of 10.
Allergy Information: May contain traces of nut.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Not stated on packaging.
Nutrition (per 50g bar): 251 Calories, 13.2g Fat, 28.1g Carbs, 21.3g Sugars.

Cboze Pineapple, Apple & Cinnamon and Salted Almond Bars (99p Stores)
Whilst in 99p Stores over Christmas (god, that feels like a lifetime ago!) I came across these "Cboze" bars, produced by Kraft Foods. I've reviewed Cboze before, back in the early days of the blog and that variety was a Cherry flavoured fondant. See the review HERE. They seem to be a Bulgarian brand, and I must thank Katherine from Grocery Gems for helping me solve that mystery!
The flavours on offer were Salted Almond, Crunchy Corn, Pineapple and Apple & Cinnamon. At 2 bars for 99p I decided to try the whole range!
First up I tried Salted Almond. Curiously, it didn't taste very "almondy" or even salty! The flavour was muted and tame, with the almond giving a little crunch here and there but nothing outstanding...it tasted a little stale, in fact.
Next I dived right into the Pineapple flavour...such a rarity in chocolate! The bar contained a milk cream filling with a layer of gooey pineapple "jam" oozing above it. It was very fruity and with a strong pineapple flavour. Very enjoyable - I would definitely buy this bar again!
The Apple & Cinnamon variety contained a layer of apple & cinnamon jam above a layer of plain cream filling. The flavour was a little more subdued than the pineapple, but it was definitely there and gave a nice fruity apple tang. The cream layer toned down the flavour a little, making it more creamy than tart. I could just about detect a hint of cinnamon in there. Overall this was a very moreish bar, and very easy to eat!
I didn't get a picture of the Crunchy Corn variety unfortunately...but I can safely say that it was the tastiest of the lot! (hence no pictures!). If you spot one it's definitely worth a try!
Overall, although Cboze chocolates can be a little hit-or-miss in terms of quality, they excel at unique fillings and if you happen to spot any in pound stores/local market stalls etc., they're definitely worth a try!
Have you tried Bulgarian brand Cboze? If so let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Kinder Hazelnut Mini Eggs Review
Whilst in Tesco recently I fancied a splurge on Easter Eggs. As well as classic Creme Eggs (which taste the same as always to me, despite the recipe change), I got a pack of Kinder Mini Eggs as part of a 3 for £1 deal. I didn't pay attention to what they were, assuming they'd be mini versions of Kinder eggs with a creamy filling. I didn't realize they were mini versions of Kinder Schoko Bon Milky Bites - one of the most amazing snacks ever!
There were 7 small eggs in the pack, all individually foil-wrapped.
There's not much I can say about the taste other than they were DELICIOUS! Just like regular Schoko-Bons, the filling was intensely creamy and with a delicious buttery hazelnut flavour. It tasted almost like white chocolate but less sickly sweet, and a lot nicer. The small bits of hazelnut added a lovely savoury crunch, whilst the milk chocolate provided a nice contrast of cocoa. There were just enough eggs in the bag to give a sweet fix without overdoing it.
Overall, I would highly recommend these Kinder Mini Eggs, they're a perfect little Easter treat!
RATING: 8.5 out of 10.

Hotel Chocolat Strawberry Easter Egglets Review
I recently tried a few new items from Hotel Chocolat's Selector range, and one of them was these Strawberry Egglets. They're new for Easter, but I'm not sure if they've been out in previous years as I've never seen them before.
Theyre described as "A burst of natural strawberry in creamy white chocolate" and "Strawberry ganache sealed in a white chocolate shell". They're £3.75 per pack, or you can get a price reduction when you buy three items from Hotel Chocolat's Selector range.
Although I was a little disappointed with the Supermilk Popcorn bar I bought as part of the offer, these egglets more than made up for any disappointment - they were delicious!
The white chocolate as ever was very creamy and great quality - I always find Hotel Chocolat excel when it comes ti white chocolate, it's just so much smoother than most commercial brands. It's heaven paired with strawberry - the ganache is extremely fruity and refreshing, and definitely not sickly sweet like the strawberry creams in Roses or Quality Street. A winning combination, and surprisingly satisfying!
Overall, these Strawberry Egglets are...er... eggcellent (sorry, I had to!) and showcase what Hotel Chocolat are best at. I urge my readers to forfeit Cadbury Mini Eggs this Easter and invest in a pack of these...your tastebuds will thank you!
RATING: 8.5 out of 10.
Price: £3.75 or 3 Selector items for £9.45, with a saving of £1.80.
Suitable for vegetarians?: Yes.
Allergy Information: Contains milk & soya. May contain nut traces.
