I have always worked to give my customers my undivided attention while showing them properties, during the negotiation process and for any follow-up help that I can provide. Being very familiar with the communities that I sell in, I frequently provide invaluable information about schools, doctors, places of worship, repair personnel and many other tidbits that help orient newcomers to their new homes and neighborhoods.

How to get more time, more money and more fun in your life
In contrast, Pete's new neighbor and old hockey buddy, Steve Murphy, has a life which seems mysteriously balanced. He is living comfortably and spending three hours a day playing street hockey with his children. Fueled by his frustration of working too much and having too little to show for it, Pete is both curious and confused about Steve's "secret".
Thus the stage is set for Steve's week-by-week course on personal financial planning and other lifestyle considerations to live the life of a street hockey millionaire. Join Pete, his wife Jenny, his brother-in-law Mark and his nephew Chris as they learn the lessons necessary to gain control of their finances while having fun.
He saves, he scores! The book does a good job of covering the basics of investing and saving for the future. ---Jennifer Campbell, Ottawa Citizen, Ottawa, Canada
"Street Hockey Millionaire is compelling reading! For such a complex subject -- that most people would shy away from -- it is extremely well written and presented. Anyone can understand and learn from the book. It appeals to us foreigners by adding the notes about the differences between US, Canadian and European systems. And the theme of street hockey would transcend any nationality. Congratulations!" --Andrew Crabtree, Poole, England.
"Using the methods James teaches in Street Hockey Millionaire, I was able to pay off consumer debt in less than a year, start giving to my favorite charities on a regular basis (rather than sporadically), and start my son's college fund before his first birthday! Thanks to his easy to understand financial wisdom, I am well on my way to a life of wealth and abundance, and I am better able to recognize and appreciate the many blessings in my life." - Teresa Bolen, author of Master Plan to Master Exams, Kyoto, Japan

Tomi Jones - Tell Everyone
Artist: Tomi Jones
Producer: Storm9000
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 3 votes )
The aspect that I love most about my job is finding dope music to share with family, friends, and anybody who is willing to listen. If your love of putting people on rivals mine, be sure to Tell Everyone about Tomi Jones; you will seem like an bonafide A&R genius! After a long hiatus from the Booth (Yada Yada was featured way back in December of '11), Jones has returned well-rested and ready to make a splash. Atop a diverse production from Storm9000, which blends some electronic influences with an R&B foundation, Tomi impresses with a smooth yet lively vocal performance that fits the beat like a warm glove. The fluttering effect in her voice jives very well with the electronic influence; just listen to that chorus. There is no news on anything additional from Jones, but we're confident it won't be another two years before her next DJBooth appearance.

We'll spend 4 nights with them in a hotel on the lake, hearing all about their adventures, doing some day cycles and getting acclimatized to Germany thanks to Werner who was born there.
Then we will take another train to Nevere on the Loire River in France where ...
A Day in Victoria
Once again, perfect weather!! The Canadians are so proud. Bunny says that this summer has been the best that anyone can remember!! It is so good, as it is quite cold at night and you can sleep, and in the morning still cool. This morning I set out with a woollen jacket over a long sleeved shirt, and was even a bit cold, until the cloud cover burned off and the sun shone and it was perfect, and even hot. And now it is getting towards 7 pm, the sun getting lower ...
Sometimes You Win...
... exciting flight of stairs.
We had all had such a great time, and on the ride down the escalator as we left we were deciding what our favorite part of the museum was, and Melina enthusiastically said, "right now! On the escalator!" Then a few minutes later she was again mourning the death of the Brits on their way back from the South Pole and I said, "but remember, sometimes you win..." and she finished my sentence with, ...

But really the importance of today is that this is the first time, EVER, that all of the progeny of Grandpa John (Zach's dad) are under one roof. And so far it has been kind of wonderful. The kids are bonding, the grown ups are laughing, and even the baby smiled at most of the family members she met for the first time today. I call that a success.

[Hook: x2]
All I want to do
Is sit and wait for you
[Verse 1:]
Are you movin' ahead
Am I fallin' behind
Fuck it, probably either way, it's probably all in my mind
You got all that you want
I got nothin' but time
Honestly all we want is somebody to grind with
In a junior high prom, probably regrettin' my haircut
And the color of my tie, let's photoshop it and airbrush
As long as the girl with me is more fly than air miles
I'm a be a happy camper with nothin' to care about
Damn, well put, that's the way it goes
I know you say that you love him, but that was days ago
I moved to London and tried to find me a Daisy Lowe
I mean it can't be that hard to find a crazy ho
She high up on the Macy floor, I'm flowin' in my fast car
You want to watch the world end in my backyard
We go in circles, that's NASCAR
Only you get me high, high, high
High again
Leavin' your smell on my clothes
I think that I'm losin' my mind again
Baby, don't leave me alone
You get me high, high, high, high
[Verse 2:]
Are you goin' with him, am I takin' you home
Fuck it, probably either way, I end up alone
You got all that you want, I got nothin' to show
Honestly all we want is somebody to bone, so
Can I get your phone number, your credit card, and your passport
You gave me this crude face like why did I ask for it
My plane to the UK, but I didn't pack for it
If this is a layup, then where is the backboard
A sinful investigation is makin' me [?]
I'm with you, I'm suffocating, my lungs are like fuckin' fire
There isn't an explanation you wouldn't try to get me high
Nobody's gonna keep me down
(You get me high again)
My feet are floatin' off the ground
(You get me high again)
And every time they [?]
Only you can get me this high

"Good manners" was smiling politely as you were getting your butts kicked out! BTW, I've made it repeatedly clear that my family got here in 1947, not 1747, with no regrets about leaving the UK, or any of its current or former constituent parts. I don't believe that I've said that IRA terrorism was good. I have said that it was unsurprising, as a response to British & Unionist terrorism in Ireland and Northern Ireland. I've also not supported either Israeli or Palestinian terrorism, whether inside Israel or in the Palestinian territories. In all cases, I haven't been surprised by the actions of either side, just upset and disappointed.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/28/world/meast/syria-civil-war/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 These car bombs need to stop. That is terrorism when you target innocents and not military targets. As bad as assad is, these types of attacks need to be condenmed and stopped. Not that the UN will get involved, nor will there be any mass calls for a ceasefire to stop this senseless killing.
Just take out the part I took out, and that would actually be a good, sensible, message I could even rep. Those few words I took out are unnecessary as they merely allow the kind of people who are behind these terrorist acts to hang on to a fig leaf to justify their heinous crimes.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/03/us-syria-us-obama-idUSBRE8B210M20121203 Those chemical weapons should preferably be dismantled alltogether.
It would be nice, but, and this will sound cruel, should we just stay out of this? If Syria is not threatening us, is it our problem?
The US needs to stay out of this, there is nothing we can do that won't backfire against us in some way or another. The only thing the US should do is provide medical aid as needed, where needed, when needed for all the non-coms caught in the middle of this war. On one side you have a genocidal maniac in assad backed by hezbollah terrorists and iran, and on the other you have hamas and other terrorists fighting alongside people in Syria who want rid of the first group. This is something that the arab league should have taken care of from the start. Now it should be taken care of internally or the UN, minus the US, should step in and halt the fighting. Although lets be honest, what can/will the UN actually do aside from a meaningless vote.
While I generally agree I do see some rational grounds for involvement if chemical/biological weapons are introduced. I wouldn't recommend boots on the ground, but perhaps a bombing campaign against Assad's military targets. IMO this is the only legitimate purpose of NATO. If an NATO country is having chemical/biological bombs going off on its border then the other member states have a responsibility to take action. If they had the mental acrobatics to justify using NATO in Afghanistan, then this scenario should be a no brainer.
If Assad uses those weapons it should signal the end of the current conflict. NATO will take out Assad within days or weeks. The problem though does not go away after Assad. The insurgents will likely slaughter large numbers of Alouites, Christians and other minorities in a celebratory revenge. I would expect there to be a permanent ethnic division there for the foreseeable future ... kind of like Iraq and Lebanon. That basically means lots of suicide bombers, assassinations, revenge killings etc ... that could go on for awhile
In light of the ongoing conflict in Syria, will there be a redrawing of the map in the Middle East? The Shittes of Lebanon ally with the Alawites of Syria and the Kurds from Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey ally with each and create Kurdistan. And Sunnis in Iraq, Jordan, Syria ally to oppose the Shittes of Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and other countries with restive Shiite populations.
Creating KurdofStan, Sunnivale & HolyShiite? http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/mapping/interactive-map/?ar_a=1
The borders are not well drawn and are an artifcate mostly of the post WWI settlement (I say mostly because the Saudi boadrers are the result of post WWI inter Arab warfare). An interesting discussion of how and why the boarders were drawn is found in "Desert Queen" a biography of Gertrude Bell, who was one of the main British diplomatic officers in the region during the WWI era. Partly it was an issue of oil politics, partly an issue or finding defensible boarders and partly an issue of the British and French trying to find a solution for the contradictory promises they made to various people in the region (in particular, the British needed to keep the Hashimites out of Syria, hence the creation of Iraq and Jordan). Hence, there are Arabs on the east bank of the great rivers, in Iran, Shia in Sunni countries and vice versea. The Kurds got really screwed. There are Sunnis dominating Shia countries, and Shias dominating Sunnis in Syria. You have the descendents of desert tribes in Jordan controlling an otherwse mostly settled native population. But no matter how you draw them, always, people will be caught on the wrong side of the boarder, especially in the desert where boarders are often
No no terrorist groups, a freedom fighter organization modeled after the PLO. The KLO. But I am doubtful it will get anywhere near the same level of support because there aren't any Jews on the land that they want.
A cynic might think that the lines were drawn, to create future problems, which would require the intervention of the British ... That's what causes the real fun!
This just shows how both sides are pretty much terrorists fighting each other. assad bombs hospitals and drops cluster bombs on school yards and is now preparing for chemical warfare, while the rebels use car bombs and fire mortars at schools. I feel for the syrian people as they are stuck with 2 terrible options for who will win.
Nah, we've been leaving all that 'glorious empire' shit to you fellas for many years. Oh, hang on... unless you're not an American now?!?!?! Maybe you're one of these fellas that's a yank when it suits you and Irish when it doesn't
Yeah, well... I just get a bit sick of hearing how all the problems in the world have been caused by the British, that's all. IM bangs on about Iran's glorious empire. Does he think they gained control over countries by conducting a wide-ranging and vicious leafleting campaign? Jake's a proud yank on occasion, (conveniently forgetting about the trail of tears and other 'regrettable' incidents like slavery and the various early versions of the 'New American Century' which you'd have thought might make him look a bit closer to home, wouldn't yer ), and then wants to play the victim card when it suits him. Fact is that about EIGHT TIMES as many English poor died as a result of the various inclosure (sic) acts and being forced to fight in the many and varied acts of aggression of the aristocracy as did from the Irish potato famine and Scottish land clearances added TOGETHER but then, they were English so who cares. I think I've mentioned before on here that, according to genealogical research I've done, I lost about about a quarter of my family on my fathers side and about a third of my mother's during that period so when people talk about ' THE BRITISH', I'm inclined to ask, WHICH British???? Anyway, very much OT I know, but...
Nobody remembers that it's always the aristocracy's fault. Belgian Congo? Not the poor Belgians living in Flanders or Brussels. Dutch Indonesia? Never the working stiffs. I was just playing with you. In fact, if your country wants to be a democracy, one of the best chances it's got is having been formerly a British colonial or imperial possession. The kiss of death is being an Italian or French colony: So don't feel too bad about it!

Hotel projects under construction across the GCC are valued at more than $7 billion, with the maximum number of them—worth $4.4 billion—located in the UAE, according to organizers of The Hotel Show. "We asked research company Proleads to examine active and under-construction hotel projects scheduled for completion between now and 2013 across the GCC countries. The results indicate that the continuing development of the regional hospitality industry is both robust and sustainable," Maggie Moore, exhibition director of The Hotel Show said in a release.
"It has undoubtedly been a tough time for the hospitality industry on a worldwide basis in 2009 and the Middle East has not escaped totally unscathed. But set against global trends, the region is still comfortably placed," she said.
"With concerns about hotel oversupply, the re-examining of plans during the slowdown has been a healthy exercise," she added.

Even with the new, not very clear tourist visa regulations,it seems the UAE are still hoping to have lots of visitors, will they keep coming back?

Alzheimer's - be a caregiver, find a cure
This week, we're taking a look at a disease that affects many families across the country: Alzheimer's.More than five million Americans have the disease and by next year it's estimated nearlyhalf-a-million more people will be diagnosed.
The disease is extremely hard on families,robbing a person's ability to remember, perform daily activities and relate to others.Clinical trials are under way to develop new treatments that may one dayimprove the lives of both patients and caregivers.
Michael Reagan, a radio talk show host and son of former President Ronald Reagan, continues to raise awareness. This year marks five years since Ronald Reagan passed away after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. Northwest Cable News talked to Michael Reagan about his mission to help families find treatment options through clinical trials.
We're never going to find the cure if people don't get into these trials and take those first initial steps to find the cure, he said. We may not cure grandma or grandfather right now, but we may cure you. We may cure your children in the future, but that's only going to happen if you get there now.
If you want to find out about the clinical trials for Alzheimers check outtheNational Institutes of Health web site. And know what to look out for. The Alzheimer's Association has a list of the10 warning signs of the disease.

A 2004 study by AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving found the typical caregiver is a woman, about 46 years old, who spends an average of 20 hours a week caring for her mother. And it can take a toll on you. Our friends at Parents.com havesome common pitfalls to avoid to keep everyone, including yourself happy and healthy.
First of all, don't try to do it all yourself. Assign jobs to other family members and friends, like getting groceries, doing taxes, or just visiting. You can also get your kids involved. Don't overlook community resources. Talk to local churches and senior centers that offer services like transportation and small home repairs.
Finally, don't get in the habit of making all the decisions for your parents. Try to talk to them about their needs and wishes.
And remember you can watch Northwest Families Wednesday nights at 7 p.m.and Thursday mornings at 8 a.m. on NorthWest Cable News.

Vimeo original series High Maintenance gets picked up by HBO
Popular web series High Maintenance is about to make the leap to premium cable after US network HBO announced it has acquired the rights to the show.
2015-04-20 22:15:00
21.09.2012 07:00
ComScore says that the typical consumer in the EU spends on average 25.9 hours online per month more than a single full day and a quarter of that time is devoted to social networking.
Considering how often we check various social media accounts to keep in touch online, it's not surprising that this accounts for such a hefty chunk of our online activities. According to comScore's Digital Data Gems report, one in every four minutes that EU users spent online in June 2012 was devoted to social networking.
Shopping and gaming also proved popular in that month, with three in four users visiting a retail site and more than 62pc visiting a games site. Other popular online activities include reading news websites, online banking, checking the weather or the latest sports news, or watching TV.

so what yall opinions onhim only a hook rapper? 1 hit wonder ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSWrep…
Okay so its come to my attention that I really like songs that are raunchy, and degrade women.. even though I am a woman.
Some examples include, but are not limited to
Touch it or Not & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxKr1CSlUp0
and many many more, but basically I just want more suggestions of crude songs that as a girl I shouldn't love, but do anyway.
Thanks so much guys- you're the best! :)
Every Lil Wayne song
Yeah Wayne's a good one, although sometimes not as blatant as in Suck it or Not.
You sure about that?
Woops, just realized UMG blocked that video.
here it is.
I watched that jack thriller video.I was fueled with anger. how can you like this? are you you a hypersexual person?
Haha no not even. I don't know it's so absurd to me that I just find it hysterical. I sing along with it laughing like da fuuuckk?? It just entertains me. I don't agree with the values they're expressing in real life, but in music I just think its funny.
I was gonna ask the same question because as a rap fan this really goes through my mind, how could a girl like some of the songs in rap that are out there?
Even though you don't support the values, you don't feel the least bit offended? The "He's not talking about me!" line is kinda overused but this is interesting.
But anyway, a song could be "Bitches ain't shit", both the original and new by Tyga .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3-NcRXK-s4 The name fits the criteria
Yeah I know of that song. Its not that I think the songs are or aren't about me, I just don't care because it doesn't affect me. I would never be involved with someone who had those values. It doesn't offend me because I know there are girls out there who are more than willing to do those things and act a certain way, and as long as there are, there will be songs like these.The audacity it takes to say those things in a public forum, like a song, though is just outrageous to me and also intriguing.
oh ok CHRZA. that's an different incite haven't heard of lol.
LOT'S of Ice Cube songs
Pornographic by Tech N9NE gets really raunchy and straight up weird at some points, its pretty funny though.
Eazy-E easily. I'm the complete oppisite of you, I'm always for the support of women and I ain't about degrating them, but sometimes I can turn my head.

> There's a big difference between promoting gun safety at home, and putting it into law.
Tell that to Florida, who wrote a law forbidding doctors from even asking if people have guns at home, much less recommending that they keep them secure.
This is a tough one. You are using a somewhat narrow definition of "working for" to mean a defined financial arrangement between an employer and employee. That's not the only way to read that phrase. I can accurately say that I am working for my family, in the sense that my goal is to provide for them. You can certainly be "working for" a cause as well. If we accept that part of ISIS goal is driving a wedge between Muslims and the rest of us then Fox is definitely working for them. If someone is unintentionally furthering my nefarious plans to take over the world I might say something like "They are working for me. They just don't know it!" and then engage in some maniacal laughter.
Why do you think consumption taxes are inherently progressive? It may be possible to make them that way, but I don't see how that is an inherent aspect.
The poor and middle classes generally have to spend the vast majority of their income and invest very little. All that is generally "consumption" the rich may seem to consume more, but as a percentage of their income it's far less than others. You can attempt to fix this by making food and other staples not subject to taxation and with luxury taxes, but that adds complications and you've pointed out the other dangers. I suspect any attempt to create progressive consumption taxes will be easily gamed. I'm open to the idea if it can be made to work, but taxing wealth has a big advantage of being relatively simple and much harder to game.
You can check regular size items at the gate. They are loaded into cargo last. The most common use for this is strollers, but other items are possible.
That's good if you want to really weird people out. I prefer the pure panic-inducing power of lp0 on Fire!
I totally agree with you here. It seems like they killed 3.x right when they finally got their balance issues mostly fixed with the Tome of Battle. I really don't understand the big deal with Pathfinder.
While I generally support year-round schools it will make maintenance of the schools a bit trickier. Just about half the schools here get some sort of construction done on them every summer and it's almost always down to the wire getting it finished in time for classes to start.
I'm guessing that it was already there and they aren't going to spend money to remove it, even though someone out there has probably already done it for them.
It looks like the technical details would be found in this link: http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~hovav/...
In that first article the CEO of AddThis says that "Itâ(TM)s not uniquely identifying enough" and the guy who originally developed it says it's only 90% accurate.
> regulate the medical industry like the criminals they are
I got a bit of a chuckle out of this. The Medical industry is rather intensively regulated, and durable medical equipment (the category this stuff falls into) has among the most stringent requirements and an awful lot of red-tape to cut through.It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does add a good chunk to the cost of these, and DME companies are generally doing very well.
Of course, all that regulation does is give you something your insurance might consider paying for, they probably can't legally pay for non-regulated equipment even if they want to. When you get things cheap enough that we can afford them without insurance, cool stuff can happen.
Just a note: Depending on how well your employer games the system you may be loaning it to your employer more than you are to the government. Your employer "withholds" it when it pays you, but it's not cutting a check to the govt for that withheld portion immediately. Smaller employers may even get away with just paying the withholding taxes on their annual corporate taxes. I know my state govt is way more insistent about getting it's tax withholding promptly than the fed is.
But it's truly hilarious when we find their not-entirely-terrible ideas (ACA/Obamacare) and try to implement them. Their insanity forces them to immediately become against it. I'm not sure how many good ideas they have, but as soon as a "liberal" tries to implement it they turn against it completely.
While I'm not necessarily all that impressed by this, your specific criticism doesn't seem to be valid. It appears that n accounts are pre-created with null information and assigned out as needed. When those are about to get used up another n are created. There would appear to be a possible attack on a new account by creating lots of dummy accounts to have a big chunk of the password space under your control, but that seems like a pretty uncommon circumstance.
What I like about it is that it seems to protect stupid users from themselves. All the salt in the world doesn't do much for people who just use "password" for their password. It will still fall in the blink of an eye. We often seem to have the opinion that they deserve it for choosing a poor password, but it's still a compromised account.
The threat model is very limited to "attacker got the password hashes", but that is a common threat currently. If you're going to pick one, that's not a bad choice. It's biggest issue may be if tomorrows threat model is significantly different.
I'm only using it for DVD rips stored on my home NAS, so I've got no idea what it can do beyond that. I'm not much of an A/V guy and don't even know what x264 is. It's got USB ports, so if it's a keyboard with a USB receiver it will probably work.
For what it's worth I find the controller to be perfectly fine. Trying to use the touchscreen is a pain, but I haven't come across any times that was necessary since they got an official OUYA version of XBMC out there. It would have been nice if there was a quick guide to putting the batteries in. It took me a while to figure out the funky magnetic attached faceplates, but having a battery in each of the handgrips gives it a nice balance.
Harrison's Postulate: For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Our fate will be determined by the external pressure applied by the world. Under pressure, Bibi will fold.
19 commentsNetanyahu will be the same prime minister, only worse, more belligerent and opposed to any kind of concessions for peace. This man has not changed.
10 commentsYou tricked us once, twice, three times – shame on you. If we let you trick us a fourth time, shame on us.
8 commentsThere is no problem in Israeli-American relations. The problem is Netanyahu's arrogrant, foolhardy challenge to Obama.
7 commentsNobody is better than Bibi at shifting the blame onto the other side. It's a wonder he didn't hold Abu Mazen responsible for the bloodshed at Har Dov, too.
9 commentsIt's not clear whether we knew that an acclaimed Iranian general was among the target group in Syria, but we have a prime minister who isn't exactly a leader.
5 commentsIf the Israeli voter manages to rise above his belly button, he may seize change before disaster strikes.
6 commentsAnyone who still thinks that Israel is a forward American strategic asset in this region is wrong. The U.S. is not a guaranteed ally – it could get along very well without us.
6 commentsInstead of taking care of the really important things, Netanyahu's message to the nation is a theater of scare-mongering.
1 commentsBibi the magician is disappearing, and Labor is reviving; let's not let this chance of getting rid of Netanyahu slip between our fingers.
6 commentsBooting Netanyahu from power is a national interest, and now it's in the hands of Bougie and Tzipi.
3 commentsNext March's election will give Israelis the chance to deliver a vital message to Benjamin Netanyahu: Go home, you've done enough damage already.
3 commentsWhen it comes down to it, no country will go easy on us before we come to a bona fide agreement with the Palestinians.
3 commentsHe was right in deciding that in no place and at no time will he act alone. In other words: We are not going to be the world's patsies.
2 commentsWith time, religious fanatics here and in Arab countries began to dictate policies. In the meantime, Israel got heady with its unwritten alliance with the U.S.
1 commentsThere is not a smidgen of political or diplomatic reason to the Benjamin Netanyahu of recent months. He has been running the country as if it were a Greek tragedy, with an ending that is known in advance.
5 commentsPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done what he does best: survive. He didn't bring down Hamas, didn't lose the war but didn't win it either.
7 commentsIt's not clear whether Israel liked the 'accord' crafted by the Egyptians, but we could have lived with it, at least until the next war.
1 commentsSince this is a war on consciousness, we don't really know whether we've won. The fact that we're willing again and again to make a truce doesn't mean they've won, or that we've won.
0 commentsOur army knows what it's doing; let's hope our leaders do too and relaunch peace talks when the Gaza fighting ends.
0 commentsFor the first time, Netanyahu has evinced signs of leadership maturity and is behaving in a serious and measured way, like somebody one could trust.
2 commentsWe need to show a little more goodwill. Sure, Mahmoud Abbas has his terms, but but I don't remember Yasser Arafat expressing regret about terror victims.
1 commentsWhat was Netanyahu thinking, that Hamas in Gaza would sit quietly while the IDF was seen every night destroying its admirers and members?
5 comments'We don't have a partner for peace talks'is the excuse of a leader who is afraid of his own shadow and thinks from his gut, not his head.

Back in June, about six weeks ago, the Twins were liking their chances this year. They went out and spent money on Kendrys Morales, just to put them over the hump. Then about five weeks and six days ago, they realized their chances for the playoffs were slim to anorexic, and regretted their move. They had buyer's remorse quicker than Betty Draper's new husband. "How could Don not appreciate this blonde beauty?" Dot, dot, dot. "Oh, that's why." I personally thought trading for a complement to Willingham, Arcia, Plouffe and Colabello was a good idea. I mean, who among those guys is a power, lousy average and no speed threat? Oh, wait, they all are. Now back to the Mariners, yeah, they need another 1B/DH-type. We'll assume Kendrys plays every day (which he should). In the 2nd half of last year, he hit 9 homers and a .274 average. I don't see much more from him this year. If anything, maybe a few less homers since he's been struggling. Basically, what you can get off waivers in most mixed leagues. Or what the Mariners already had in Coreygan Smoakison, their Frankenstein 1B/DH. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ryan Howard
Like a good Jewish boy, Brad Ausmus said to his Bubbie, "Bubbie, I love sulfites, nitrates and pig a**holes, but every time I see a Nathan's, I get the runs. Bubbie, do you have a remedy?" His Bubbie lowered her knitting and said, "You need to get a goddamn decent closer!" And so it was done. Unfortunately, due to being wracked with guilt (or possibly due to a rather hard knock on the head), Ausmus couldn't pull the trigger and said Nathan will remain the closer. Oh. WHAT?! The Rangers traded Joakim Soria to the Tigers because Joe Nathan is making Detroit look even lousier. I can't imagine Soria remains the set-up man for very long, since Nathan owns a 5.89 ERA and has looked completely lost for the better part of the season. For now, I'd hold both of them. Over in Texas, I have a rooting interest in Neal Cotts getting saves, because I own him and not Neftali Feliz. If I had my druthers, and knew what the hell druthers were — hmm, maybe then I do have druthers — I would grab Neftali first. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now that I'm married Jimmy Carter's line, "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times." Really stands out to me. I don't necessarily want to think about Jimmy Carter in lust, or even contemplating lust. The thing he doesn't say is if he wasn't married, he'd be lusting too. Men are men, and Jimmy Carter is no different. Jimmy Carter is one tightly wound ball of lust, and probably hooked Clinton up with Lewinsky. Jimmy Carter is a pimp! If Jimmy Carter was president in the 2000's, he probably would've had Outkast to the White House and would've been like, "What's colder than our relations with the Middle East? Ice cold!" In that similar vein, I lust after rookie pitchers. They are so dang sexy prior to actually pitching in the major leagues. Jimmy Nelson is just another. I like him a lot, and glad to see Marco Estrada was replaced by him. From Nelson, could see a 9+ K/9 and a middling walk rate. Due to the walk rate, that has ballooned at times, he could be absolute death — like games of 5 IP, 6 ER death. He could also run over the NL with games of 6 IP, 8 Ks. I'd grab him in all leagues for the upside, but be wary of the downside. As Jimmy Carter also once said, "You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can. Speaking of can, that's where I like to stick my peanuts. I said PEANUTS!" Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometimes, you wanna feel like the smartest guy/gal/thing in the room. Of course, that would have to make the title 'Summa Iwakuma Laude' but I didn't like the flow of 'Summa Iwakuma'. My titles are ridiculous enough anyways, I don't need unintentional rhyme muddying the waters along with it. So we chose 'with great honor' rather than 'with highest honor'. We just replaced 'cum' with Hisashi Iwakuma…you better read that word in latin, perv! Not Hisashi, of course, since his name is in his native language of Japanese. So did I just create a new language? Jatin? Lapanese? Eh, I'll leave the Bennifers to Hollywood at this point. But really, Hisashi should make you feel like you graduated with honors from Sports Tech Fantasy University (GO STFU!) as his price of $9,100 on DraftKings puts him behind the big three 10K+ pitchers on the day but the Stream-o-nator says his start is the tops of his class on the day. I do think because of the bigger names on the slate, Iwakuma will have a slightly lower ownership than normal despite the fact his start is at home and against a whiff-happy team. Much like my pick up skills will be on the Razzball Radio Tour, the Twins strike out rates are at the bottom of the league already but when they step out on the road, they're even worse as they own the second worst K% while out Jack Kerouac'ing. So let's swing our tassel from one side to the other and walk down that aisle…ahem, I meant graduation tassels and the hat. Seriously! Well, whatever, you've graduated to the rest of the picks. Now get out of this lead and take your dirty mind with you! Here's the rest of the Razzball picks for July 7th contests…
Please, blog, may I have some more?"You have a really nice pitcher here. How much did you pay for him?"
"Well, actually, that's none of your business, Christie. But I can assure you…he certainly wasn't cheap."
The main character from the movie quoted above is almost as scary as the two-headed monster of Clayton Kershaw ($13,100) and Felix Hernandez ($12,500) scheduled to take the mound today. Obviously you can't go wrong with either ace but they will both cost a small fortune for their services. If I had to choose between the two, which I'm sure is the case for most DFS players today, I would drop the extra $600 on Kershaw. The Cardinals are in the bottom third of MLB in wRC+ against left-handed pitching, while Hernandez's opponent (Cleveland) is actually T-1st in the majors against righties (115 wRC+). Again, both are as crisp as a bone business card with Silian Rail lettering, I just like the match-up for Kershaw a little more.

Please, blog, may I have some more?The Sciosciapath gave Ernesto Frieri the dreaded vote of confidence the other day, so, of course, he wasn't there when a save presented itself in the 10th inning of a 3-1 game. Cam Bedrosian entered the game with his 10+ ERA. He's the one guy I would trust less than Frieri, but not to worry, The Sciosciapath had Frieri come in once Bedrosian was in a jam, and Ernesto promptly gave up a grand slam to Nick Swisher, who is batting .200 this year. Joe Smith would seemingly be used to get all future saves, but The Sciosciapath ties his shoes with Crazy Glue and uses the non-pronged side of the fork to eat and thinks Alan Hunter was better than Martha Quinn and once bought Styrofoam peanuts to snack on and his voicemail is "Siri, how do you leave an outgoing voicemail message?" and he thinks arithmetic is the work of witches, so I have no idea where he's going the next time the Angels have the lead in the ninth. He says they'll go to a committee, but I'd own Smith. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, there was a pitching performance that truly captured the minds and hearts of the general public. You know, the general public — the people you smile at on the street and wonder how they got their shirt on because they look so dumb. Those people! This pitching performance wasn't done by just any average pitcher. No, it was done by…an outfielder. Travis Snider struck out Joey Votto! Whaaaaaaat?! Oh, and Clayton Kershaw threw a no-hitter. It should've been a perfect game, but Hanley didn't feel like it. It's okay, Hanley, don't beat yourself up over it too much. Let Dodger fans do it for you! Kershaw's game wasn't perfect in the strictly record book sense, but it was in the fantasy sense. 15 Ks, no hits, no walks — you now have the best pitching performance of this year, and it might be a top ten fantasy start of all-time. I wonder if you could buy him low. I keed! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Royals are Daddy Rich from Car Wash or Max Scherzer owed Verlander a favor. "Hey, Scherzer, do me a solid and do a solid on the mound so my Monday start doesn't look so bad. You feel me? If you do, I got a Ms. Upton to feel you." Little did Scherzer know that Verlander wasn't talking about Kate Upton, but about Justin and B.J.'s sister, Misshapen. "Misshapen, your legs are so curvaceous they remind me of the coastline of Africa." Or maybe Verlander is just spreading something around the clubhouse. Anibal, you better not touch him or I will know it! Scherzer only lost once all of last year at home, which is slightly misleading like I'm saying he is that much better at home. He only lost twice on the road last year and his ERA on the road was almost a run and half lower. Yesterday, it all went to pot — Lincecum, "That's where I want to go!" — as Scherzer gave up 10 runs in four innings. Leyland was right. Pitchers are like barbecuing pork. You need a lot of indirect smoke to tender up their shoulder and get 'em right. If this allows a buying opportunity on Scherzer, unlike Verlander, I do think this was a hiccup rather than a long, extended burp. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Frenemies and cohorts, it is that magical time of year where the player pool begins to grow. Summer harvest begins to reap the treasures of the seeds sown by unheralded draft pundits of years passed. The scout's moment is now. Having spent their lives adorned with holey New Balances, wholly unrefined frozen dinners of Salisbury steak and discount diner breakfasts, they get to pound an Old Milwaukee and puff a few Doral's as they revel in the glory of their hatred of sabremetrics. A life not fancied by us fantasy internet blogger moguls. No sirs and madams, we require a much fancier life—a life infused with excitement brought on by WHIPs and FIPs and wOBAs and WARs! The rest is mas o menos lo mismo— the same old shizz. Other than our baseball lens, the only other difference is that we stuttering B-Ball Bloggers need to score!!! Points…
Points is why we're here, and June presents a unique opportunity where the player pool expands with talent that is usable and keepable. September offers a smorgasbord of young talent, but mostly it's too late and the infusion of players nourish your team like an energy drink shooter with cinnamon whiskey. The hangover is awful and often begins before the luster of the buzz has worn off. The June callups are the cognacs, ladies men. Let's take a look at these beauties.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Braves called Tommy La Stella up to replace Fuggla. Here's what I said about a month ago, "Incredibly, we already had a Tommy La Stella fantasy post. Don't you people sleep?! There, Dano compared him to Pedroia and not because he needs his tippy toes to get on a roller coaster. I think that comparison might be a tad bizzonkers. Or as the gentle fantasy writers of our day would say, "That's a bit more bullish than I'd say." Has any group of people said the word bullish more? This word feels like it's dominating all fantasy conversations. It's a polite way to say, someone is smoking more crack than another person. Of course, in a world of small sample sizes, anything could happen, but La Stellllllllllla looks like an NL-Only play with a chance for 5 homers, 7 steals and a decent average if he were called up in June." And that's me quoting me! Now that he's been called up, I'd add him in deeper mixed leagues (think 15+), but I still don't have high hopes for him outside of maybe a decent average. He's basically a forty-twenty. If Fredi Gonzalez had any brains in that squishy melon on his shoulders, he'd bat La Stella leadoff and move Heyward down the order. Smarts and managing baseball teams don't always go hand-in-hand though. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Braised beef with root vegetables
Serves 6
Chuck roast is a tough cut that needs a long, slow simmer (a low oven works well). Add 1 cup of red wine to the pot and let the meat cook for 2 hours. Halfway through braising, add turnips and carrots. Serve with mashed potatoes.
2 | tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 | beef chuck roast (4 to 5 pounds) |
Salt and pepper, to taste | |
2 | medium onions, each cut into 8 wedges |
1 | cup red wine |
2 | cups water |
2 | sprigs fresh thyme |
1 | bay leaf |
2 | medium turnips, each cut into 8 wedges |
4 | large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces |
1 | tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
2 | tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
2. In a large flameproof casserole, heat the oil. Add the meat and cook on medium-high heat without disturbing for 5 minutes. Turn and brown another side until the meat is brown all over. Add the onions to the pan at the edges and let them brown with the meat.
3. Remove the meat from the pan (it's OK to leave the onions). Pour in the red wine and water. Cook, stirring, to release the sediment from the bottom of the pan. Add the thyme and bay leaf.
4. Return the meat to the pan. Spoon some cooking juices over it. Cover with the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook the meat for 1 hour. Add more water to the pan if the mixture seems dry.
5. Add the turnips and carrots. Continue cooking for 1 hour, adding more water to the pan if necessary, or until the meat and vegetables are very tender. (Total cooking time is 2 hours.)
6. Transfer the meat and vegetables to a large bowl. Cover loosely with foil and set aside in a warm place.
7. Set the pan over high heat and let the juices bubble steadily, skimming the surface to remove excess fat, for 3 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens. Cut the meat along its natural lines and serve with the vegetables. Sprinkle with thyme and parsley. Sheryl Julian

Welcome to Hartmann Law Firm
Mr. Hartmann is a "certified specialist" in criminal law, and is the founder and owner of the Hartmann Law Firm, a criminal defense law firm in Orange County. For over 27 years, Mr. Hartmann has worked vigorously to defend individuals and companies accused of, or about to face, criminal charges in federal, state and juvenile court.
Mr. Hartmann's professional record includes the following:
- Full acquittals at trial
- Partial acquittals at trial resulting in substantially reduced sentences
- In some cases where a client was convicted of the charge or a lesser-charge, the evidence put the client in a more reasonable light than the Government or District Attorney portrayed before trial, resulting in more favorable sentences
- Prevented clients from even being charged with a crime
- If charges were filed, having the case dismissed, or evidence suppressed or limited because of law enforcement's violation of the client's constitutional rights or other prosecutorial and law enforcement misconduct
- Negotiating substantially reduced charges or sentences in very serious felony and misdemeanor matters
The majority of Mr. Hartmann's clients are recommended to him by satisfied clients. All criminal matters are considered urgent, and we will meet with you the same day or the next day after you call.
When facing, or about to face, criminal charges, who you hire impacts your ability to mount a successful defense. If you have been arrested, approached by law enforcement as a suspect or been ordered to go to Court, you need a skilled, respected and honest criminal defense attorney to represent you.
Choosing an inexperienced, inexpensive attorney or one who does not focus on criminal defense could be a mistake you will regret forever. Many clients come to the Hartmann Law Firm represented by counsel who do not know the client's case, do not seem to care, are overly friendly with the prosecutor, do not return telephone calls, do not work the case and just seems to have told the client what they wanted to hear to get a fee.
Mr. Hartmann offers clients quality representation, honest answers (even when those may not be what the client wants to hear) and provides a detailed map as to how the case will be handled. And, he understands how you and your loved ones are terrified by the prospects of dealing with a criminal case that may result in you going to jail, losing your job and even more. The Hartmann Law Firm helps you regain control over your future by vigilantly doing everything possible to provide you outstanding representation, and by helping you and your family through the nightmare.
The Hartmann Law Firm focuses on criminal defense. Mr. Hartmann has achieved the highest academic and professional credentials and is respected for his skill and tenacious defense of his clients. He regularly represents clients at all levels of federal, state and juvenile court. His reputation for excellence is reflected in the substantial number of referrals he receives from former and existing clients and from other lawyers. He represents a broad range of individuals and companies in all types of criminal cases.
The Hartmann Law Firm is selective in the cases it accepts. A smaller caseload allows Mr. Hartmann substantial time to devote to your case. The representation you will receive is first-rate, and that is reflected in the results you should expect to receive and in his fees. While his fees are reasonable for the services he provides, if you are searching for the most inexpensive lawyer, or someone who will tell you what you want to hear, he will not be what you are looking for. However, if your goal is to find outstanding legal representation, responsive to you and your family's needs, and to obtain the best possible result, his fees are well-matched with his outstanding record of achieving satisfying results for clients.

The 2010 season was disappointing not only for the Ole Miss defense as a whole, but specifically Wayne Dorsey.
Prior to the season a lot was made of Dorsey transferring to Ole Miss from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

Reporters Without Borders condemns the renewed crackdown on Iranian journalists, in which a wave of arrests in Tehran on and around the "Black Sunday" of 27 January has been followed by interrogations and arrests of journalists in several provincial cities. At least 15 journalists and netizens - members of the Hana literary association and contributors to the monthlies Koshk and Varia and the bimonthly Najva - were summoned and interrogated for several hours by intelligence ministry officials in the southwestern city of Ilam on 17 February. According to the information obtained by Reporters Without Borders, around 10 journalists, netizens, political activists and civil society members have been summoned for questioning or arrested in other parts of the country. During interrogation, they were warned that undertaking any activities in connection with next June's presidential election would be met with reprisals. A total of 58 journalists and netizens are currently detained in Iran. "The Iranian authorities must end these successive arbitrary arrests," Reporters Without Borders said. "With five months to go to the next presidential election, they are pursuing a strategy of preventive arrests and systematic intimidation of news providers. This operation is designed to silence any criticism of the growing obstruction of freedom of information and the crackdown on journalists who could draw attention to electoral fraud." In a press release yesterday, the intelligence ministry accused all the foreign-based media that broadcast to Iran (BBC, RFI, DW and VOA), and Reporters Without Borders, of being paid by European and especially British intelligence agencies to wage a psychological war against the Islamic Republic of Iran and of using a network of journalists inside Iran to this end. The release said: "Journalists in this dismantled network collected and transmitted information abroad to be used as a working basis by western groups specialized in psychological warfare to conduct interviews with intellectuals and organizations (â&${esc.hash}128;¦) Material then broadcast by these media to the Iranian public or used by Ahmed Shaheed, the special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran and by other bogus western human rights organizations for mendacious reports about the human rights situation in Iran." The communiqué continued: "Using the BBC model, Reporters Without Borders created a regional unit for Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan and appointed a counter-revolutionary who fled Iran to run it. He is in contact with counter-revolutionary organizations and European intelligence services. This individual had and still has the job of following up the residence and asylum applications made by members of this network who flee abroad." The intelligence ministry's release added: "Some members of this network are ready to talk publicly about their experiences." Two days before this release, Ahmad Bakshaysh, a member of parliament's National Security Committee, spoke to the newspaper Roozonline about its meeting with the head of cultural affairs at the intelligence ministry and what this official told the committee about the arrests of journalists. "These arrests are preventive," Bakshaysh said. "Their aim is to prevent the activities of a network inside and outside the country in the run-up to the June 2013 presidential election (â&${esc.hash}128;¦) This network encourages journalists to interview various government officials in order to highlight their differences." Bakshaysh added: "Since their arrest, some of them have understood their errors and are ready to testify to this (â&${esc.hash}128;¦) I think he was referring to televised confessions." Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Christophe Deloire said: "This will not be the first time that confessions extracted by means of mistreatment - confessions which are in fact segments of filmed interrogations - are broadcast on the national TV stations and are rebroadcast by Press TV and Al-Alam. "Imprisoned journalists have already accused these two TV stations of complicity with the intelligence ministry's torturers in preparing and broadcasting extracted confessions. Such practices are unacceptable and clearly violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which the Islamic Republic of Iran has signed and ratified." Although some of the recently arrested journalists have been released, Reporters Without Borders is very worried about the conditions in which 12 of those arrested on "Black Sunday" are still being held in Evin prison's Section 209, a section controlled by the intelligence ministry. They are still in solitary confinement and are being denied all their rights, including family visits and access to a lawyer. Several government officials have confirmed that their arrests were directly related to preparations for the June 2013 election. Reporters Without Borders is meanwhile also concerned about the state of health of many other detained journalists and netizens such as Arash Honarvar Shojai, the editor the blog Relation to the Land of Iran, and Mohammad Reza Pourshajari, who are being denied the medical treatment they need while being held arbitrarily. Shojai, who has been hospitalized twice in Tehran in the past, had some kind of heart attack in his cell in Rajaishahr prison on 17 February. His condition is still critical but the judicial authorities continue to systematically reject his requests for medical parole.-

Twin Falls City Council
Twin Falls, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KSVT-TV ) On Tuesday the Twin Falls City Council met for their weekly meeting.
And on the agenda were two items that stood out that could have a big impact on the local public. First was for the beginning process of the renovation and construction for a new terminal out at the magic valley regional airport. Manager Bill Carberry asked the council to approve an FAA grant in the amount of $380,000 for agricultural services. And also, approve an agreement for design, bidding and construction services in the amount of $386,000. "This project is really about curing current deficiencies we have there… get the check baggage out of the lobby and behind the wall. To put restrooms in a new hold area… to expand the hold area. So this is a good project for the community and its all but funded entirely by the FAA, which makes it very good." Said Airport Manager, bill Carberry. the council also gave the green light to the Twin Falls Parks and Recreation Department to continue construction on the Snake River Canyon Rim Trail. Totaling almost $89,000, the parks department will now begin the process of extending the pillar falls portion of the trail, about one thousand feet east. And also 600 feet west on the Knievel Jump Site Trail. |

I was talking about grade testing, belt promotions and the way different schools handle both of these issues the other day with some folks from my BJJ school. It also seems to be coming up frequently on several of the various MA blogs I enjoy, and I've left a couple of comments on their blogs. All of this has got me thinking, a dangerous thing indeed, about my views on the subject.
First, I studied at another school prior to training at Foster BJJ. My old school was a style that incorporates many different ranges of combat: striking, clinching, some ground work. The training, the style, the science... all of this really appealed to me in theory. But ultimately, it was the culture that drove me away. I love BJJ. There isn't a single thing about it that I don't enjoy. I like the conditioning. I like the technical complexity. I enjoy the competitive aspects of it. But it's the culture that really appeals to me. I've said more than once over the last few days that I really like how my white belt has tape on it to denote my one stripe. I really like that the black field on my white belt is also tape... just black tape. The stripe is a small piece of athletic tape. I don't know why, but I like it this way. I like how I have a gi that has patches all over it... flair if anyone's seen Office Space, yet my rank is denoted by athletic tape. I also really like that we don't "test" for promotion. When our instructor feels that we're ready, we get a stripe. When we're ready to advance a belt, we're given a belt. There's enough ceremony to make it special, and it is, but not so much that the ceremony seems contrived. And to me, when someone gets their blue belt, I know how much time and effort that blue belt represents. Because there is a standard, and that standard is still largely universal, I know what that blue belt represents regardless of where the school is. In speaking with many other people training in all sorts of disciplines throughout the world, this seems to me to be unique to BJJ. In all other styles, there are schools in which the rank is significant. There are schools where people are promoted only when ready. At the same time, saying, "I have a black belt in Wing Chun (or insert another style here)," can mean anything really. There are belt factories and there are McDojos in every style. Except, it seems, BJJ. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure that as BJJ becomes more popular, this phenomenon will occur, but it doesn't seem to have occurred yet and I like it. Also, for several reasons, active competition being among the main ones, belt inflation will not become as much of a problem as it seems to be in other arts. I'm not opposed to testing for rank. What I didn't like about my last school was that I was pretty much expected to test for promotion every three months. I hated that. Integrity means a lot to me. Integrity between people, and the integrity of a program in which I participate. My old sensei has integrity and I would never suggest otherwise. I respect him individually very much, and this respect alone kept me at his school long after I had on some level decided it wasn't for me. The integrity of his program, however, was questionable and that ultimately played a large part in my leaving. If I didn't feel as though I was ready, I was assured by the sensei that he was the best judge of that. And that'll be $40, please. I didn't like that. I also didn't like how people were promoted (including myself) when clearly not skilled. The result is a situation where either you end up with black belts who are not skilled (often along with the saying, "Now that you've obtained black belt, you can BEGIN your training.") or so many colors, stripes and patches between white and black that no one but the sensei can figure out what comes next. "Congratulations. You are purple belt with plaid stripe... recommended." Worse case scenario, you get both. Do I sound bitter? I hope not, but I'd be lying if I said that this sort of thing doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. I think that there are a lot of reasons to train in martial arts and many are unrelated to martial skill. I don't train for self defense, although I feel that being in shape and training competitively can't hurt. I train for health. I train for fun. I train for a lot of reasons, and rank means little to me. But I can also say that, because I train in a program that I enjoy and believe has integrity, in an art that I also believe has integrity, that I appreciate promotion more. I have one stripe and while I understand that a one stripe white belt in BJJ is a largely meaningless rank, I am more proud of my one stripe in BJJ than I was of my "purple belt decided" in my other school. So, as I leave comments on other blogs, if I sound negative in any way, I hope that this explains things a little. |

The only reason I suggested the seat cover was simply because, well, to be blunt, the seat could use a thorough cleaning. Sure, you could probably spend a day and a small fortune on a couple cans of Resolve and some scrubbing and vacuuming, but a black seat-cover would solve the problem nicely and save you the time and aggravation.
You could always take the seat cover off if you need it to look like the bridge of another ship.
That said, it's justa friendly suggestion
