After this stop we continue to San Cristobal Hill. On the way we try out some of Chile's classic and refreshing snacks such as Mote de Huesillos or any snack that you feel like.

Here, your vehicle will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel after a day of exploring Santiago and being a true "Santiaguino".

"We are back. We did have a wonderful time with our daughter and I certainly had no reason at all for being at all nervous that things would not go smoothly. Everyone associated with our time in Iguazu Falls was helpful, more than pleasant and always on time. I thought originally that we could manage such a trip on our own. But when we got there and saw the hassles we would have run into with the visas, border crossings, transportation and such, I realized that going the way we did was the wise choice. Absolutely we would travel with you again. And if anyone asks about the best way to see that part of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend KT. "

"Well, Cindy, we've been home for a week but I can't stop replaying every day of our wonderful holiday in my head! It was all that I had hoped for and MORE! We enjoyed all of the locations we visited – the beauty of the landscapes, the sight of wildlife, the rich culture & interesting history of Argentina & the outgoing, positive attitude of its people. Our guides were terrific – so friendly & knowledgeable & helpful & enthusiastic! We had no delays or difficulties & our accommodations were outstanding. Have I mentioned that it was a FABULOUS holiday??!!! My thanks to you for coordinating, booking, confirming and generally taking care of our requests in planning our adventure. "

"Fabulous trip to Machu Picchu, Cusco and Lima. Trip of a lifetime with a sensational group of guides, drivers, and transfer staff! Loved the Sanctuary Lodge! A must! Thank you, Nella Huaringa, for planning this amazing journey! Thanks for making sure we didn't miss a thing on our itinerary even when we lost a travel day, due to a broken airplane that turned back midair, on our way to Lima. We appreciate your service above and beyond. "

"Wow! All my life, I have planned and organized our trips, requiring considerable research and contact time--not to mention, most significantly, all the stress involved at each destination to make sure all connections are made. This time, I put it in the hands of some extremely capable people--and sat back and relaxed. And relax I did! We were booked into full-service, quality accommodations at all times; our transport and tour guidance were all on an individual, private basis, except where public transportation was in order; and--most valuable to us--we were met and assisted through all travel/hotel connections. We truly felt pampered. At one point, in fact, we had a problem with an immigration paper that we had lost, and a Kensington representative personally accompanied us through the whole process of replacing it--even though we were officially "on our own" that day. That's what makes the difference--the responsibility and accountability toward clients. Kudos to Kensington and to our representative, Brandi Merchant. We are already planning more travel and see no reason to look any further than to an agency that has earned our trust. "

"We had a wonderful time on our trip. The accommodations were all great. The guides and drivers were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were very happy with our choice of destinations and with the way the trip was organized. It was a lot of flying in two weeks but well worth it. Erika was able to accommodate a short-notice addition (Nazca Lines) to our trip which we appreciated. Thank you Erika for your help. Great trip!!"

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

I sent you a buddy request awhile back. I have had problems with messages..Did you get my invitation? Let me know . Thanks
A BIG CONGRATS on 300 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact me! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Little Rock GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks!
On Friday 7/13/12, ImCheapinNJ reported on CobraLeader's Whiteboard, that CobraLeader passed away on 11 Dec 2010! I know it's been a long time since anyone has heard from CobraLeader, many GBs have been wondering what had happened to CobraLeader! :( I heard CL had more than 5,000 buddies on his buddy list and many more GBs knew of his presence here in GasBuddyland! We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )
Great job getting to 1 million point!!!!!
Congrats on making 1,000,000 points!!! Have a great day!!!
Your right on haters. This site must be a magnet for them because some times I just can't read the post their so full of vitriol.
So, I suppose you buy things NOT at the cheapest price? What if the price is not higher in the future? I have personal knowledge of friends having huge loses in the commodity markets. Besides most people that play in the futures markets actually lose money.
Understand that I and many others object to attacking people. However, how can we reduce the articles posted that fuel the fires of speculation without going after the people that post them?======= ====== = = People who post articles that fuel the fires of speculation include: ======== = = = == Jeff4U,OnTheWater

The Basic Benefits Of Cloud Storage
Posted by Pavel | Posted in General Information | Posted on 22-05-2013 09:10:51
So, if you're like just about everyone else who uses the Internet even a moderate amount, you've probably been hearing the term "cloud storage" more often than you can stand. These days, new technology tends to get a great deal of coverage, whether in news articles, in online advertisements, or even simply by social media "word of mouth." Cloud storage has certainly been no exception, as there's some kind of buzz about it just about everywhere we look. One reason for this is that cloud computing is provided by a huge range of companies, from established tech giants to smaller, more specialized groups like Citrix Share File. Another, however, is that cloud storage really does offer some incredible benefits.
So, if you, like many, have been hearing the term – but no actual substance related to it – here are a few words on some of the main benefits that individuals and businesses alike can enjoy from implementing cloud storage.
Convenient Storage & Access
The principle benefit of cloud storage is that it provides incredible convenient storage of files online. Basically, when you have access to a cloud storage system, you can save documents and files to that cloud, rather than to a specific computer or device. This means that you can work on a document on your laptop, save it to the cloud, and easily access it later from a different computer or device, so long as you are able to log into the cloud. This allows for very convenient flexibility when working online.
File Backup
The other, natural benefit of being able to store files online in a cloud system is that those files are backed up automatically against many common issues. If your computer is lost or stolen, or even experiences some sort of internal damage or corruption, one typical result is to permanently lose access to your work. However, with your work saved to the cloud, you will be able to avoid at least this aspect of consequences.
Simple Collaboration
Particularly for professionals, and even students, collaboration is another strong benefit of cloud storage. With files saved to the cloud, not only can you access it from any device, but anyone else with access to the cloud can do the same. This greatly simplifies the process of working through group projects, as it eliminates the need to schedule time to be in the same place at the same time – collaboration can simply take place online through the cloud.
Simple Organization
Finally, the ability to store files in the cloud offers a simpler and more complete form of organization. Of course, you can always arrange folders for your work on a computer or similar device, but many prefer to keep these files on the cloud, in a "work only" space. This allows easy, natural separation of work and personal files, which can certainly be a nice perk.

Gallery: Rockefeller Center's Rooftop Gardens are a Hidden Urban Treasu...
The gardens, located atop the British Empire Building, the Maison Francaise, and the setbacks of other central buildings, were planned and built when the Center was first erected. Developer John R. Todd and architect Raymond Hood wanted the buildings' design to be aesthetically pleasing for the tenants and passers-by, and they felt that the formal gardens would be a special treat for the thousands of employees working in the Center. Originally, they had an even more elaborate idea in mind, envisioning the network of rooftop gardens connected by pedestrian bridges, likening them to the hanging gardens of Babylon.
Just by looking at these images, you can tell that these are not rooftop gardens that were just thrown on top of a building. Created by landscape architect Ralph Hancock, the gardens' elaborate fountain pools, stone planters, and vegetation are most definitely not the types of structures you see on rooftop gardens today. To support the thousands of tons of extra weight from the pipes, soil, and pumps, the Rockefeller Center's roofing was reinforced with extra steel.
Like we said before, the gardens are closed to the public, but for a few years running, they were opened for the Open House New York weekend, during which many of these pictures were taken. Unfortunately, they have not been a part of OHNY for the last couple years, and it doesn't look like they will be this year either. But occasionally, companies pay a pretty penny and invite the public into the gardens. They can also be rented for weddings and private events, but we can't even begin to guess how much that would cost.
NewYorkology unearthed a history book of Rockefeller Center, which revealed that the gardens were originally open to the public, and the operating costs lost the Center $45,000 every year. Here is a passage from the book that describes the gardens as they were built:
The roofs on the four low buildings on Fifth were done up in styles appropriate to the buildings' themes — cobblestones from the streets of Italian towns and two stone plaques from the Roman Forum framed the plantings on the Palazza d'Italia, for instance, and the British Empire's Building's umbrella-topped garden tables, where tenants could take tea in clement weather, were surrounded by well-trimmed yews and other hedge plants. But the gardens meandering around the eleventh-floor setback, on the RCA building, 140 feet above street level, were so lavish they made the tops of the low buildings look like suburban backyards.
Here's hoping the gardens are opened to the public again soon, or else we might have to find a job at Rockefeller Center.

Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow
Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow (Hardcover)
When a mysterious envelope arrives for Jake Ransom, he and his older sister, Kady, are plunged into a gripping chain of events. An artifact found by their parents—on the expedition from which they never returned—leads Jake and Kady to a strange world inhabited by a peculiar mix of long-lost civilizations, a world that may hold the key to their parents' disappearance.
But even as they enter the gate to this extraordinary place, savage grackyls soar across the sky, diving to attack. Jake's new friends, the pretty Mayan girl Marika and the Roman Pindor, say the grackyls were created by an evil alchemist—the Skull King. And as Jake struggles to find a way home, it becomes obvious that what the Skull King wants most is Jake and Kady—dead or alive.

I think we're assuming all players are healthy, but i'd go dirk here. He's proven he can be the #1 guy on a championship team none of the others have, with the exception of maybe Rose.
I pick Chris Bosh next. Not sure which team. Not sure if I even have a pick.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
haha, no i think those who are out for this whole season aren't eligible. If that weren't the case i'd draft Roy, Oden, and the Sun's medical staff. I can't speak for Rbow though, but i've done this before and this is how it worked.
yeah its assuming everyone is healthy, Roy is retired so he's ineligible
Last edited by speedyG; 05-02-2012 at 10:13 PM.
But if Oden's healthy...
umm I guess no drafting players who have missed the whole season, we don't know how to rate Oden
We need a sim league.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
We'd need:
1. A forum for the sim league
2. Someone to run it (and knows how)
3. Enough active members
But if we could get those things, a sim league would be excellent. I'm not sure if there is more than one, but the one I am apart of right now is fastbreak basketball
I'm in one where someone sims the season on 2k12, its alot of work for the simmer tho
sim league sounds cool. whats a sim league? how does that work?
At the start of the league you do a fantasy draft (kind of like we are doing right now) but it's starts at a certain year. So like you could start the league during the 1992 season and someone would draft a rookie Shaq, Michael Jordan would probably be the first pick, all the current players during the 1992 players would be eligible, etc. So you draft your own team, and from there you manage them.
During the season you set your depth chart and you go against the other teams in the league in like a real season. All star weekends, rookie of the year, player of the week, player of the month, MVP's, etc etc etc. Then you have the playoffs just like the real league does. Eight teams in a bracket.
Then the offseason comes and you get to choose if you want to resign your guys or not, there is a free agency, you do the next draft, and so on. Of course you are open to making any trade you want with any other GM as long as it is in line with the cap rules.
And you just keep doing that until you don't want to do it anymore. Like for the one I am in we went to next years draft, and now we are about to start over in like 1992 or something. So basically you draft your team in 1992 and then manage them all the way until 2013. Players retire, players get hurt, you trade guys, etc etc etc. It's super realistic.
That's the league index for the league I'm currently in if you want to check it out, I'm the Kings btw.
the one I'm in is yearly, we started with real nba rosters in 2009 and we use all the nba rules for salaries, trades, FA, etc and someone puts our rosters together on 2k games and sims the season
its alot more complicated, if someone wants to run one I'll join, but i just wanna do this for now

Can we sticky this please so we don't have to go searching for it every time.
Also can we make a rule that if you miss your first pick you are out of the draft, that way we can save some time please otherwise this will take a few months and people will start losing interest. As long as you make your first selection in 24hrs you are in for good, if you miss it you are out.
Did anyone message Perth hornet. He only has an hour to pick

Brian Scalabrine is heading his way out west!! (West australia that is)

Perth's time limit is up, so the Jazz select Kobe Bryant

Yaws facts
What is yaws? What are symptoms of yaws?
Reader Stories
Yaws is a common chronic infectious disease that occurs mainly in warm humid regions such as the tropical areas of Africa, Asia, South and Central Americas, plus the Pacific Islands. The disease has many names (for example, pian, parangi, paru, frambesia tropica). Yaws usually features lesions that appear as bumps on the skin of the face, hands, feet, and genital area. The disease most often starts as a single lesion that becomes slightly elevated, develops a crust that is shed, leaving a base that resembles the texture of a raspberry or strawberry. This primary lesion is termed the mother yaw (also termed buba, buba madre, or primary frambesioma). Secondary lesions, termed daughter yaws, develop in about six to 16 weeks after the primary lesion. Almost all cases of yaws begin in children under 15 years of age, with the peak incidence in 6-10-year-old children. The incidence is about the same in males and females.
What causes yaws?
Yaws is caused by a particular bacterium called a spirochete (a spiral-shaped type of bacteria). The bacterium is scientifically referred to as Treponema pertenue. This organism is considered by some investigators to be a subspecies of T. pallidum, the organism that causes syphilis (a systemic sexually-transmitted disease). Other investigators consider it to be a closely related but separate species of Treponema. T. carateum, the cause of pinta (a skin infection with bluish-black spots), is also closely related to T. pertenue. The history of yaws is unclear; the first possible mention of the disease is considered to be in the Old Testament. D. Bruce and D. Nabarro discovered the spirochete causing yaws (T. pertenue) in 1905.

Both my wife and I have Roth and Traditional Iras. I max my traditional 401k each year. My new employer also offers after-tax 401k contributions with in-service rollovers.
My understanding is that the pro-rata rule would apply to after-tax 401k to roth rollovers and since I have a TIRA, this would be bad.
I am thinking of:
- rolling my $150k TIRA into my employers 401k. (has good investments)
- continue doing 17.5k in 401k contributions.
- My employer matches 10,500 per year
- Adding another $28,000 in after tax contributions.
- rolling the after tax contributions into a Roth each year.
1) Does this seem all good? I'll be able to get a $28,000 roth each year? (I could also do another 5,500 directly to a roth IRA)
2) Does my wife's TIRA affect the pro-rata rule?

Get well soon JasonJust one day after returning to contact work after missing time with a sore back, New Orleans Hornets forward Jason Smith sustained a left shoulder injury Tuesday during a five-on-five scrimmage drill that required a doctor's visit for additional evaluation and diagnosis.
Hornets Coach Monty Williams said Tuesday he was unsure about Smith's availability for Thursday night's game in Atlanta against the Hawks.

New Orleans Hornets' Jason Smith day-to-day with shoulder strain
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultMedical tests revealed no structural damage in New Orleans Hornets forward/center Jason Smith's injured left shoulder, but Smith will be listed as day-to-day with what's being termed a "strain." Smith injured the shoulder during a five-on-five practice scrimmage Monday, but on Tuesday he couldn't describe exactly how the mishap occurred.
"I have no idea how it happened," said Smith. "I think I set a screen and I went down to rebound and when I was going to bring my arm up and over to start running back on defense, I either got tangled up with somebody or some people say it was from the screen.
"All I know is that my arm did not feel good. Some people thought it was my elbow because I was grabbing my elbow. But my arm was just not stable, so I was just trying to stabilize the whole arm."
X-rays, Smith said, showed no fractures or bone chips, and a subsequent MRI revealed no structural damage, tears to ligaments or the labrum or rotator cuff, only some lingering fluid from the initial trauma.
I did the same injury.......he'll be pushing hard to make the 31st.
It took me a good 3-4 weeks to get it right.
Obviously it depends how serious it is and how much work he has on it
before the first game.
Get well soon.......we need him against the spurs!!
Jason Smith is too big to be that soft

Modify gun laws to stop daily deaths
Much has been said about gun control as an issue of rights. The rights issue has been settled: Americans have a Second Amendment right to own guns. But because of the societal and economic impact of gun violence, this is an issue of not just gun rights but also health, justice and economic development.
The data tell a horrible tale: In the United States in recent years, firearm homicide was the second-leading cause of death (after motor vehicle crashes) for those ages 1 to 19. Gun violence is declining but still striking: According to a Bureau of Justice Statistics report last month, firearm-related homicides fell from 11,101 in 2011 to 18,253 in 1993. And this is the good news?
Gun violence cost $174 billion in 2010, according to the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which assessed medical bills, lost productivity, insurance and more.
Action at the state level is not enough. Sensible federal legislation is necessary. Polling for the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns found that "82 percent of gun owners -- including 74 percent of National Rifle Association members -- support requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun." Washington Post-ABC News polling in December found that 54 percent of Americans favor stricter gun laws.
Thirty-three people in this country are killed by guns every day. Our society must make changes. As we remember the victims of the Newtown shootings, let us take action to prevent such an atrocity from ever happening again.

Beginning with his final departure from Neverland, Untouchable takes listeners through Jackson's final four years, as he shuttled from California to the Middle East, Ireland, Asia, the East Coast, and Las Vegas, planning to recapture his wealth and reputation with a comeback album and a series of 50 mega-concerts, for which he was rehearsing until the day before his death. Sullivan also delves deep into Jackson's past, and the man that emerges is both naive and deeply cunning, a devoted father whose parenting decisions created an international outcry, a shrewd businessman whose successes blew up in his face and whose failures nearly brought down a megacorporation, and an inveterate narcissist who wanted more than anything a quiet, solitary, normal life.
Sullivan has never-before-reported information about Jackson's business dealings and the pedophilia allegations that irreparably marked his reputation. He had exclusive access to inner-circle figures, including Jackson's former attorney and business manager. The result is a remarkable portrait of Michael Jackson, a man of uncountable contradictions who continues to reign as the King of Pop.
©2012 Randall Sullivan (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Don't expect a definitive biography"
Expected a comprehensive bio of the king of pop. Instead, the author emphasizes the final few years of Jackson's life. Lots of details about his finances. Surprisingly, Jackson's early years and his music get a lesser treatment. The whole story has a tabloid feel to it with lots of lurid details.
Get a complete story of the events that took place in MJ's life. The people who surrounded him and controlled him. How uninvolved, unaware, and uninformed MJ was of the aspects of his career that were so vital to his success and well-being. A very interesting story that sheds more light on the very reclusive Michael Jackson.
"MJ and Untouchable - Star Performances"
Being a fan of MJ since his beginnings, I found this book answered all of the questions. MJ was a complex human being, a brilliant man and performer, and the sum of his past. This book was incredible and sad and I could not stop listening. If anyone has based their own opinion on MJ from news sources - push the biased, tabloid opinions aside and try this book first. His family let him down and so did people he considered friends. I hope MJ finds peace now.
"One of my best listen to audiobooks"
Very interesting listen.
I thought I knew most of MJ life history and his music. But after listening to this autobiography I found out there are a lot about his other side that wasn't written.
I missed Michael Jackson and his music.
"It was very accurate."
It was kinda scary how accurate this was. He's missing a few things, and heavily downplayed the involvement of the cascios, Lisa marie and some of his other horriable handlers such as trudy and Ramon. But he wasn't there. This is as good as it gets after frank casinos, J. Randy Tarroburelli and the bodyguards books.
"Too Long!"
Good insight into the God-awful childhood experiences which shaped Michael Jackson. I felt sorry for Jackson, and could certainly understand his erratic, extravagant behavior.
This book was divided into four units, making it about two units too long. I tired of listening to various iterations of the same selfishness and infighting among family and the host of vultures who worked for Jackson, after the star had died. Evidently Jackson had very few people in his life who cared for him as a person more than the wealth they could get from being his "friend." Sad.
"Wonderful insight into the life of Michael Jackson"
This book might not please some hard core fans of Michael Jackson, because it highlights the true Michael Jackson. It sheds light on the great things that made Michael Jackson loved by many, as well as the dark parts of Michael Jackson that earned him the nickname "Wacko Jacko". This book leaves you feeling a bit of pity for the star because he always wanted a normal life but never attained it. At the same time it allows you to see that money cant cure loneliness or heartache. Loved the book, but at times it was a little slow going and was hard to keep track of all the key players in the Michael Jackson saga. If youre looking for the hard but necessary truth about Michael's life this is a must read.
Michael of course. He had so many facets to his personality and he had such a impact on everyone he met.
I wanted to yes, but was unable to because it is a long book.
"THE BEST and absolute DEFINITIVE biopic of MJ!"
I love bios and memoirs especially of fascinating characters. There is no disputing that Michael Jackson was and is one of the most polarizing and fascinating characters to grace the world stage. Therefore, I would rank this bio in my top 3 I've ever listened to in my life.
The amount of research that went into this bio must have been an insanely staggering task. This has to be one of the most complicated studies of any human being as Michael and his life story is one of the most complicated stories of our time. Therefore, the most memorable thing about this listen was the absolute shocking amount of information contained within.
Reading this book, especially much of the court and legal dramas, could get quite dry. I wouldn't want to read this book. No way.
This is, no doubt, THE bio if you are interested in Michael Jackson. It remains objective and strictly sticks to the facts. It does not paint Michael in a negative light. It points out his extreme eccentric nature, flaws, his positives, and everything else in between that made him such an amazing figure in American history. What struck me and disgusted me was the extremely disgusting and dysfunctional nature of his ENTIRE family. The entire Jackson clan, with the exception of his children and his Mother Katherine, are the epitome of evil. And, of course, there were a slew of other characters that would weasel their way into Michael's life whom were deplorable souls destined for karmic h*ll fire for how they sought to take advantage of him as a, virtual, ATM machine. This book has it all. 5 Stars / Excellent. I only took one star off for the narration as much of it gets a bit monotone but I don't see any other way the reader would have communicated such an ENOURMOUS amount of information any other way. The narrator does do a good job of changing his voice to highlight dialogue from the massive cast of characters he has to deal with within this book but some may find it doesn't have enough character. I found it to be easy to listen to and would not let it turn you away from the listen. Worth every penny / credit.
Yes I would suggest this and in particular to fans of Michael. A mixture of endearing and troubling chronicles of his life which help to better understand his life and problems.
The battles with his family in particular his brothers were eye opening and sad. And the sheer greed of everyone around Michael.
Not really. It's rather long and sometimes quite heavy with the facts and numbers. Definitely easier to digest in sittings.
It first read like a gossip column but through perseverance, it began to delve a lot deeper and I'm glad I stuck it out.

Whether he's an affable lug or a dangerous mobster, the face of the dark-haired 6 foot character actor is one film fans recognized in the 1930s and 1940s.
Character actor Nat Pendleton acted in uncredited roles and in the supporting cast from 1926 to 1947.
But before Pendleton performed as Sandow the Great in the biographical film "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936), he was flexing his muscles for different reasons.
Pendleton's fame originally came in the form of a silver medal in the super heavy weight freestyle wrestling division at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. That year, United States won 41 Gold, 27 Silver, and 27 Bronze medals, winning the most medals by any of the 29 nations attending.
Pendleton lost only one match during the Olympics and turned pro after the games. In 1923, he was set to fight John "Tigerman" Pesek in Boston and lost, left with torn ligaments in his leg, according to "Legends of Pro Wrestling" by Tim Hornbaker.
After the loss, Pendleton turned to Hollywood.
Pendleton first started on Broadway in the 1920s and went to Hollywood working for nearly all of major film studios: Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Columbia and MGM.
MGM was where Pendleton's career was most profitable, becoming a regular in film series "Dr. Kildare" and "The Thin Man."
Due to his size, Pendleton was often cast as gangster brutes, stupid police officers and confused oafs.
Though the IQ level of Pendleton's characters was never very high, Nat Pendleton was no idiot.
Graduating from Columbia University in 1916, Pendleton received an economics degree and spoke four languages. He was inducted into the Columbia wrestling hall of fame in 2006.
His talent in Hollywood wasn't limited to acting. He also wrote the screenplay for "Deception" (1932) where he played a wrestler in the film.
Aside from his wrestling skills on the mat, Pendleton may be a forgotten character actor, but he is one of my favorites. He is likable even as a ruthless mobster.
My favorite character of Pendleton's is as ambulance driver Joe Wayman in the Dr. Kildare film series. Wayman is a lovable and humorous character. Of the 15 films, Pendleton's character was replaced by Red Skelton. Though I enjoy Skelton, there was a hole left in the films without Pendleton's character.
Another memorable role for Nat Pendleton is portraying the real-life strongman Sandow in "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936).
After acting in Hollywood since 1926, his last film role was in 1947 in the Abbot and Costello film "Buck Privates Come Home." He passed away in 1967 at the age of 72.

There has always been that mutual respect between Jordan and Kobe. I've always valued and liked this because Jordan hasn't and doesn't always appreciate or believe some of our others superstars in the league are has good as they really are or how the media makes them out to be.
From MJ to Kobe, an off-court dynasty
Grover's training empire caters to NBA royalty
Originally Published: May 26, 2009
By Scott Powers | For ESPNChicago.com
Twenty years ago, Tim Grover met Michael Jordan for the first time.
On Tuesday, still riding the magic created from that career-launching meeting, Grover was in Los Angeles working with Kobe Bryant.
As the Lakers were falling to the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Monday night in Denver, Grover was boarding a plane from Chicago to L.A. He arrived at 11 p.m. PT, and less than 12 hours later, he and Bryant met to discuss ways to prepare for Game 5. They planned to meet again later in the day.
"As physical as the Denver series has been, [the Houston series] and other stuff, he understands this is part of the reason he's been successful for so many years, and he's not willing to change that," Grover said. "It's easy to lay around, but just resting on the couch is not beneficial.
"Kobe is coming off playing a game in Denver where the altitude is different. All that comes into play with his hydration, nutrition, how he's going to prepare for the next day. There's a lot of preparation that goes into it before meeting with the athlete. Being that I'm as obsessed as the clients are, they're willing to trust me."
Grover is paid a nice sum for traveling across the country -- and now likely staying on the West Coast until the Lakers either win the title or get eliminated. But to him, like his clients, winning is what matters most.
"It is taxing, but we're as committed as our athletes," he said. "We're as obsessed as they are. Kobe fell short of his goal last year to win a championship. Our job won't be complete until he wins that championship. Anything short of that is a failure. That's how I feel about it."
And Grover's instincts have been sharp enough to gain the trust of NBA royalty.
Jordan had just been knocked around again by the elbows, knees, chests, heads and fists of Detroit's "Bad Boys." Jordan understood if he and the Bulls were to go further, his body had to be better prepared for such playoff punishments.
Grover was only 24 then, and Jordan was to be his first professional client, but Grover was sure he had Jordan's answer.
"He said he'd try it out for a month, and it ended up being 15 years," Grover said.
Jordan, of course, went on to win six titles and is regarded as perhaps the greatest basketball player of all time. For Grover, the arc was similar. His accomplishments can't be measured in rings or MVP trophies, but he also has proof of success. His client list includes Bryant, Dwyane Wade and more than a dozen others; he employs his own small army of trainers and owns a 65,000-square foot facility on Chicago's West Side that includes three NBA courts, over $1 million worth of exercise equipment, a barber shop and a 110-inch television.
"It's not just hiring Tim Grover any longer," Grover said. "You're hiring Tim Grover and Attack Athletics and everything that comes with it."
In the 20 years since that initial meeting with Jordan, Grover has witnessed technology and training methods develop beyond his dreams. But while Grover has adapted and added new pieces to his training program, his core has remained the same. Whether it was building Jordan's body to absorb Bill Laimbeer's elbows or strengthening Wade's knee for last summer's Olympics or currently maintaining Bryant's body, Grover has relied on preparation and hard work.
"That's something my parents instilled in me at a very young age," said Grover, who grew up on Chicago's Northwest Side and later played college basketball at Illinois-Chicago. "There are no shortcuts. There's no substitute for hard work. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. You saw that in Game 3 when Kobe hit that 3. That's not luck. He's prepared to take that shot. We've hit him with pads while taking that shot. When the opportunity came on, he took it.
"It's the same thing Dwyane did, Michael did, all the super superstars. It doesn't happen by mistake."
It didn't happen by mistake or coincidence that Bryant, Jordan and Wade all hired Grover.
"It's a first-class organization here with Tim Grover, first with Hoops and now with ATTACK Athletics," Wade said after a Grover workout last summer following the Olympics. "It's a first-class thing we run. I say we because I feel so much a part of it because I've been coming here since my rookie year."
Grover often is asked what the common denominator is between the greats he has trained, and Grover has found it's that ultimate focus and dedication.
"Here's what they're willing to do: They understand the sacrifice that it takes," he said. "Getting to the top of the mountain isn't the hard part. It's staying on top. They know it's not just an in-season thing, an offseason thing, a preseason thing. It's a year-round thing. They have to make sacrifices to go places where you don't normally want to go."

Always. Even when they're missing. It's a simple algorithm really. It's easy to dish when everyone is hitting their shots. Where Kobe still has some room to grow (given he's just about perfect in every other aspect) is in not giving up on the team concept when the team starts to struggle a little. In fact, that might be the WORST time to give up on the team concept because in order to win you gotta get the other guys going.
We are a much better basketball team when Kobe plays facilitator because he commands so much attention.
The only time Kobe hero ball should be acceptable with this group is the final possession of each quarter if we're stagnant, or, at the end of games when we need someone who can create a scoring opportunity. Other than that, force feed the team concept and eventually someone will get going.
Ariza3 wrote:ill put this game on Kobe and Mike IMO. Kobe for knowing what the team needs but still going 1v5 and not getting guys involved. he needs to be facilitating as LNG as Nash is gone and when he does then we win. then when D has to account for others he take over. and mike for playing Kobe so much when he could have played Meeks next to him...kid drills a 3 to out us up 7 in the 4th and takes him out and immediately were down by 1 never to recover after hack a Dwight.
also don't know why we didn't put gasol in when they hack a Dwight when we were only down 1 or tied. kind of bad rotations today IMO and Kobe forcing the issue all game. tons of possessions the ball didn't leave Kobe's hands and many Didnt end in points for us either. also his D was terrible today. everyone's was but Kobe's guys went off.

Up in Honey's Room
Up in Honey's Room (Hardcover)
The odd thing about Walter Schoen, German born but now running a butcher shop in Detroit, he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and the Gestapo. They even share the same birthday.
Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, doesn't know that Walter is a member of a spy ring that sends U.S. war production data to Germany and gives shelter to escaped German prisoners of war. But she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand—it's time to get a divorce.
Along comes Carl Webster, the hot kid of the Marshals Service. He's looking for Jurgen Schrenk, a former Afrika Korps officer who escaped from a POW camp in Oklahoma. Carl's pretty sure Walter's involved with keeping Schrenk hidden, so Carl gets to know Honey, hoping she'll take him to Walter. Carl then meets Vera Mezwa, the nifty Ukrainian head of the spy ring who's better looking than Mata Hari, and her tricky lover Bohdan with the Buster Brown haircut and a sly way of killing.
Honey's a free spirit; she likes the hot kid marshal and doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is to get Jurgen Schrenk without getting shot. And then there's Otto—the Waffen-SS major who runs away with a nice Jewish girl. It's Elmore Leonard's world—gritty, funny, and full of surprises.
About the Author

This scent happens to be one of Issey Miyake's better ones. You put it on in the morning & you still get compliments in the late afternoon. I've reccomended this scent to several people since I've been wearing it. Everywhere I go someone always asks me what perfume I'm wearing. What a compliment for Issey Miyake. Thanks Issey Miyake, this is a wonderful scent & I must I do love the compliments I get when wearing it.

First time I smelled this fragrance I thought it was a men's cologne. So I bought it once and started using it (once nobody said it was neither feminine nor unisex) and have received compliments even from strangers at the subway (and women - really guys, many women). For me this is an unisex smell, everybody can use it. The sparkling green notes exploding into jasmine is remarkable! Highly recommended!

To me, Lopez is everything I hoped for. There are only a couple of true elite centers in the NBA. And even those have their flaws. You just can't beat having a young, athletic, true 7 footer at only $5 million a year. I don't think Lopez is going to be the guy that wins us a bunch of games. But he is the type of guy that would lose us a bunch of games if we don't have him, if that makes sense.
You just have to be able to match up when another team is big and physical. Like having a good run stopper in football. Lopez is going to defend, he is going to rebound, and he is going to bang with the best of them.
You can win a championship with Robin Lopez. You won't win BECAUSE of Robin Lopez, but he is a solid starting NBA center.

Javassist (Java Programming Assistant) makes Java bytecode manipulation simple. It is a class library for editing bytecodes in Java; it enables Java programs to define a new class at runtime and to modify a class file when the JVM loads it. Unlike other similar bytecode editors, Javassist provides two levels of API: source level and bytecode level. If the users use the source-level API, they can edit a class file without knowledge of the specifications of the Java bytecode. The whole API is designed with only the vocabulary of the Java language. You can even specify inserted bytecode in the form of source text; Javassist compiles it on the fly. On the other hand, the bytecode-level API allows the users to directly edit a class file as other editors.
Aspect Oriented Programming: Javassist can be a good tool for adding new methods into a class and for inserting before/after/around advice at the both caller and callee sides.
Reflection: One of applications of Javassist is runtime reflection; Javassist enables Java programs to use a metaobject that controls method calls on base-level objects. No specialized compiler or virtual machine are needed.
|Javassist version 3.19.0-GA is available (Jan. 6, 2015).
This version is distributed under the triple license of the MPL, the LGPL, and the Apache License.
The binary is also available from the central repo.
This command will create the ./trunk direcotry.
To build the downloaded source files, use
cd trunk # move to the source directory ant jar # build javassist.jar ant javadocs # build API reference
