Friday Five: S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G S-O-N-G-S
Country music is pretty straightforward: three chords and the truth, as they say. But sometimes, singers have to spell it out for us. Here's a Friday Five that's part country music playlist, part spelling bee.
- 5. "Tulsa" – Wayne Hancock
Tulsa is the town for Wayne the Train, so much so that he spells the town's name out in his swingin' chorus and named his 2006 album after it. But after hearing all about the wonders of Tulsa in Hancock's song, it's no wonder why Bob Wills wanted to be taken back there.
- 4. "Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)" – Garth Brooks & George Jones
Man, living in a dry county must suck when you like booze as much as these guys. Between beer and gas money, it's no wonder they're broke. Well, at least the seven dudes in the song are cruising in a pickup truck and not on a riding lawnmower.
- 3. "M-O-N-E-Y" – Lyle Lovett
There's gold digger, and then there's straight up cruel. Lovett's chorus "'No finance, no romance'/Was how she told me goodbye/First she took my love, then she took all my/M-O-N-E-Y" suggests that this gal is the latter.
- 2. "G-I-R-L Spells Trouble" – Ernest Tubb
According to this one from the Texas Troubadour, girls are "just plain misery" and nothing but trouble. Of course, a man just can't get along without 'em. In the future, Ernest, stick to women…they'll just leave you walking the floor instead of kicking you out of your home.
- 1. "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" – Tammy Wynette
Okay, so the gal in this song has good reason to spell stuff out. But when that four year old grows up and learns what his folks were talking about right in front of him? T-H-E-R-A-P-Y.
27 Comments
What no T.L.C.A.S.A.P.? from Alabama?
Or "T-R-O-U-B-L-E?" from Travis Tritt?
Aww….and remember that Alan Jackson showed us how to spell Good Time…."G to the O, O to the D, T and an I, M and an E…" or however that goes…
^ Yep, "Good Time" is a good song =)
No Glamorous by Fergie?? COME ON!!!!!!
Great list and blurbs. I've always been partial to Darrell Scott's "Spelling Bee Romance."
No B-E-E-R-R-U-N from Todd Snider? Seriously, no single line in the Garth Brooks number so aptly describes the angst of a Beer Run better than "Oh how happy we would be if we had only brought a better fake ID on a B double E double R un."
Kelly: I bought a copy of Fergie's cd for a friend's daughter for graduation. In trying to explain to me which songs she liked she began to sing a bit–"G-L-A-M-A-R-O-U-S." On the night of her high school graduation, bless her heart.
Don Henry's BFD. Although that's more of an acronym song that spelling song, it's funny as H-E-C-K!
I can overlook the absence of "Tulsa Straight Ahead" (much better than the Hancock song), but not the failure to include "S-A-V-E-D."
Remember one (of many) of Joe Diffie's mid 90s novelty songs named "C-O-U-N-T-R-Y". Maybe Jason Aldean can revive it…
L! Is for the way you loooooook at me. O! Is for the only oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I seeeeeeee! V! Is very, very! EXTRA! ORDINARY!….
How about P-I-G by John Bogue
or B-A-C-O-N & E-G-G-S by Homer & Jethro
both songs done to the same tune as D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Also two great songs with the same title
I-O-U by Jimmy Dean (a Mother's Day song)
I-O-U by Lee Greenwood (a love song)
Diffie also had "I'm in Love with a Capital U" sorry- I know everyone wants to forget that.
Todd Sniders BEER RUN > Garth's. Another one of my faves is W-I-F-E from The Old 97's
Ooh, I totally forgot about W-I-F-E! Thanks for the reminder. Will have to look up the Todd Snider song as well based upon you and Stormy's comments.
The general rule for FF songs is that they've already got to be somewhere in my music collection. Looks like I need to hit up the record store in search of more spelling songs…that Homer & Jethro one looks fab.
The D-I-V-O-R-C-E commentary is hilarious. These are always so fun to read, especially when the "my fave was snubbed!" comments start trickling in.
Forgot maybe the granddaddy of them all – "M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I" by Red Foley (1950). Does anyone know the origin of the "three chords and the truth" phrase? First time I recall hearing it was in U2's version of Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" from Rattle & Hum — "All I've got is this red guitar, three chords and the truth."
I have an earlier example. What about C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S by Eddy Arnold? That was in 1949!
Juli- also seek out Todd's story regarding the two versions of Beer Run… it's worth a listen. I'm pretty sure there's a version on YouTube.
Oh, Silvio's comment reminds me of another good one: Bobbie Gentry's "Mississippi Delta." Although that one is kind of Ike-and-Tina-ish, so maybe not the countriest choice.
"The general rule for FF songs is that they've already got to be somewhere in my music of more…"
..And the list can only contain five songs.
I LOVE Todd Snider, but I prefer Garth's "BeerRun."
And Sammy Kershaw "T-E double N-E double S double E G-I-R-L"
Uh, "S-A-V-E-D" dates back to the 1930s, if not earlier.
Although definitely not country Tonio K's bitter break-up song "H-A-T-R-E-D" circa 1979 comes to mind as it contains a plethora of spelled out words. An example lyric: "I'm so full of H-A-T-R-E-D, I'm bitter and mailgned. You've got me P-I-S-S-E-D Off, I'm angry most of the time. Why don't you G-O T-O H-E-Double L you…(umm I better quit here for the sake of decorum!)". Hey, this describes how I feel about Obama being president, imagine that! (lol)
Juli, here is the beer run story.
If you want to get into Todd…I would recommend the bootleg Live From Moondawg's Tavern.
So good Todd is writing a book based around it (per his recent paste interview….which I found via this site BTW)
and let me say I always enjoy these as well….it must be frustrating every time you do one to have everyone only comment on what songs you FORGOT :-P
George Jones had a song in the mid 1950s "Vitamins L-O-V-E"
Remember when Lonestar's first single for Lonely Grill, S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night damned near killed their career before Amazed saved their asses?

A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease.
We owe our good health to a humble parasite - a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system - even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.
But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives . . . and will do anything to get them.
©2013 Mira Grant (P)2013 Hachette Audio
There are few things better than a good story well told!
"You Want To Put A What... Where?"
It was a compelling listen. I would hold off ranking it until I've completed the series.
I did even thought the writing seemed to get boggy in the middle part of the story and seemed repetitive. Overall it held my attention from start to finish. The premise is interesting, if extremely creepy. A genetically modified parasite becomes a wildly sought after medical device. It does everything from dispensing vitamins to managing diabetes to curing cancer. All from inside the human body once implanted. But then this microscopic miracle "rebels" and people start to "sleep walk". And worse.
A word of caution: this is apparently the first in a series. The story by no means ends here.
"I don't even like horror, but...."
I wasn't sure I'd like this one, but Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire) delivered yet again. Whether horror, dystopian or straight fantasy, I'm putting her firmly in my 'buy-everything-this-woman-writes' category
"Twists and thrills keep you wanting more"
Really liked the story and the narrator.
Tanzy (spelling- remmeber I listened - not read) was a crazy character
When Sal goes to D-Symbogen for taking care of business (I don't want to spoil with more info).
The GMO: Parasite
The story is easy to follow but still makes you think and to figure out some of the connections. As I listened through I kept trying to guess and solve the puzzle. I use the word "puzzle" loosely though. It, by no means, takes it away from the fun of the story. I recently watched Cloud Atlas and I thought the puzzle aspect of it was so much that it took the joy out of watching a movie, and made it into a (almost) 3 hours of work. If you want to enjoy biology, and science fiction you will like this book. I also really enjoyed the narration by Christine Lakin. In fact, I started looking to see what other books she narrated. It was amazing how many different voices she produced to "speak" different characters. It really added to the joy of this audiobook. I will be anxiously waiting for the second book.
"Refreshingly different sci-fi premise"
Both my teenage son and I enjoyed this book with it's blend of science, suspense and plot twists. The narration was excellent, and I look forward to the continuation of the story, if a book 2 is forthcoming.
Flapjack Jones
"Not an adult thriller"
This is more of a YA book with a good premise and poor execution. The big reveal is obvious very quickly, and not stated until the very end of the book making it very anti-climatic. A very young reader might enjoy it. And a young reader might excuse the unrealistic behavior by all characters throughout the book.
"Excellent book, hope to see a continuation soon"
The story itself is exceptional keeping you wanting for more.
Christine Lakin brings the characters to life quite well and makes it quite entertaining.
Tansy. She is so delightfully creepy and random. Funny and scary at the same time.
Christine Lakin brought each of the characters to life, reflecting their own distinct personalities.
Hope to see a continuation soon

"A Refreshing New Spin on the Zombie Genre"
I've been stuck in a book rut for a while now. I was hesitant when I read the reviews on this book, and series. It's been in my wish list for a while, but it's a female narrator (I prefer male) and a questionable story line.
I'm glad I took the leap. Just a few short chapters in, I was full of joy I've found a (new to me) author to follow! The story line is very well done and 'Mira Grant' does a fantastic job of giving enough detail, while at the same time not drolling on. You can't help but become caught up in this book.
Other positive notes:
*It's a good long book. I like long books when they're done right. This one is done right.
*Christine Lakin does a great job with the narration!
*The book leaves you wanting more
Only Negative: I've finished book 2 and was not as impressed with it. However, book one could stand on it's own fairly well. Book 1 does not tie up all the lose ends, or bring you to a great conclusion, but I could have walked away after book 1 and been okay with it.
Book two does leave you hanging. I haven't decided yet if I'll be in for book 3 when it comes out, or not.

"Amazingly Detailed"
No spoilers here so I'll just say it's amazing and very detailed. I can't imagine the research that goes into a book but authors like Mira Grant do it with a style and depth.
Join me on GoodReads too!
This is the kind of Zombie-Book I think I can handle... the kind with no outright mention of Zombies!!
It started out great, a very intriguing futuristic medical mystery; I was sucked in from the beginning! But then about two thirds or three quarts of the way in it took SUCH A TURN that I was derailed. Try as I might, the plot turned into a such preposterous comedy for me (albeit a suspenseful and intriguing one) that I lost interest. I pushed through to get to the end just to wrap it up.
But still, it wasn't bad and I'll read book 2 (Symbiont) if it comes on sale.... maybe.... I dunno, the twist is just too twisted.
As you can see, I am conflicted with this one!
"Uninspired, unoriginal and completely boring"
A plot that wasn't so predictable
So the story about genetically engineered parasites. Guess what happens... Yep. You're exactly right.
She's I good narrator. I've nothing bad to say about her.
The protagonist.

Need Help!!! Best way to remove old gunk from Old head tape
View Single Post

My experience with vintage frames, I currents have a few hundred...
Goo gone works best for head tape residue
Alchohol seems to work best for scuffs
A toothbrush and alchohol or even soapy water work great for getting in and around the grommets to get the dirt out. If you want to clean the frame while strung you need to get a bottle brush or a gun barrel cleaning brush (plastic brissled not brass).
Careful with stuff like goof of because it can remove the clear coat on some frames. Especially if your rubbing hard.
If you have a frame with a rubberized coating ala prince warrior, gamma 9.0 etc you need to be really careful what you use and even how you store the racquets as the ruberized coating does not hold up over time and gets sticky and messy.
You can also use painters tape for head guard protection. It does not leave a residue and does a good job of protecting the frame if you put a couple layer on. Its also easy to find and reativly cheap. The colors kind of stink though for some frames.
Painters tape might be a viable option for some though as I have seen head guard tape pull paint off vintage frames pretty regularly. Its not a huge deal to me as I tend to play with my frames but if someone has a rather mint vintage racquet and just has to git it a light hit painters tape might be worth a try.

I don't get it. Why do parents take their kids to pick out toys for Christmas? Where is the excitement and anticipation of opening gifts on Christmas morning? I see these parents taking the kids to pick out what they want. Why don't they write a letter to Santa? Datalouge is absolutely correct in that little Jayden and Britney control the household. Today's parents are fucked up!

When you travel as much as I do, having a partner (or partners) to share time with is a major plus — kind of like a support group on wheels.
Next time you're out scouting the lake and everything seems to be falling into place, keep in mind that change is just around the corner ... and with it may come opportunity.
Ever hear the expression "Bass are like people"?
The next time you consider becoming a touring bass pro, think twice.
Before the Elite Series, boat wraps were rarely seen on competitor boats. Few anglers had any use for them … or so they thought!
Classic Week is exhausting and incredibly demanding. Those that handle the pressure best are likely to excel during the competition.
Remember to keep an open mind. That, and having the right spinnerbait, will bring positive results.
When I began my career, spinnerbaits were considered tools for stained to muddy water conditions. Sure, there were exceptions. But that was pretty much the norm.
For less than what it would cost to hire a guide, you can receive one-on-one instruction from a who's who list of top level pros, all of whom will share their best techniques.
Like a lot of touring pros, I've had my share of ailments. Years of rough water boat rides have left me pretty banged up. I can deal with all that. It's what happened to me back in 2003 that scared me the most.

One of my first memories of Cleveland Indians baseball came in the early-1980s. It had hardly anything to do with baseball, and it was completely by accident.
My younger brother and I had spent the July 3rd, 1983 afternoon at the Cleveland Grand Prix Indycar auto race watching Al Unser Sr. win the race over the Burke Lakefront Airport grounds, and we had decided to do some tailgating back at our car while the traffic thinned out afterward.
We parked at the nearby Cleveland Stadium parking lots. And as we sat there, we noticed that there were cars that were still coming in, too. That seemed weird to us.
After a nice barbecue, we began packing up our stuff and loading up the car to leave, when a guy just down from us asked "Hey, where ya goin'? The game hasn't started yet!"
"What game? We're going home from the race," we explained.
"You've GOTTA watch the Tribe, especially for the fireworks show after the game," the Indians fan told us.
And so we did.
Cellar dwelling Cleveland upset the Milwaukee Brewers on that night. And no sooner had the Indians fielder caught the final out than the stadium lights went out and an awe inspiring flurry of fireworks erupted over the outfield. I noticed several of the players remained in the outfield to enjoy the spectacle as well.
There wasn't much to enjoy for Tribe fans or players then, and so fireworks seemed a bigger deal than the team itself!
To get myself in the mood for warm weather and the smack of a hardball into a leather ball glove, I recently read Lew Freeman's new book called "A Summer to Remember: Bill Veeck, Lou Boudreau, Bob Feller, and the 1948 Cleveland Indians." It relives the glory days of Cleveland's last baseball championship.
Take a showman team president in Bill Veeck, mix in talented pitchers in Bob Lemon and Bob Feller to a veteran Satchel Paige from the Negro Leagues, and toss in a talented rookie lefty named Gene Bearden, then top that off with one of the league's only remaining player-managers in shortstop Lou Boudreau and add Larry Doby, the second African-American ballplayer to join the Major Leagues with the talent of slugger Joe Gordon, … and there you have it, the 1948 World Champion Cleveland Indians.
Boudreau earned American League MVP honors, becoming the first AL shortstop to win the Most Valuable Player award; Bearden finished as runner up to Boston's Al Dark for Rookie of the Year honors; and the Indians had half of the top-8 vote recipients for the MVP award that season.
With an overall record of 94 wins and 58 losses, only the 1954 and 1995 World Series losing Indians teams have since turned in better winning percentages in a season.
"A Summer To Remember" is an enjoyable light read that digs into the behind-the-scenes operations of a Major League Baseball team. If the recent snow has you down, this book is sure to warm your baseball spirit.
For instance, there's a famous photo of New York Yankees legend Babe Ruth leaning on a baseball bat as he addressed the Yankee Stadium crowd at his retirement. Well, the actual Yankees locker room Ruth had always utilized was now the visiting team's locker room, and his retirement came on a day when the Cleveland Indians were in town.
Ruth dressed for his final appearance in a Yankees uniform in the Indians' locker room at his original locker. The bat he was leaning on was given to him by Indians first baseman Eddie Robinson to help Ruth climb the dugout steps leading onto the field.
The book's mention of Satchel Paige's lightning quick fastball reminds me of something current Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman might throw, only with more accuracy. "All I know for sure, is that there's a fellow at that plate with a big stick in his hand. It's him and me, and maybe he'll hurt me. But if he does, he's got to hit that fastball," Paige says in the book.
The 304-page book sells for $24.95 in hardcover. It is available on amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or wherever books are sold.

Being local, we know The Apollo to be an upscale, well maintained, secure, and popular destination for many returning guests. Our proximity also makes it possible for us to maintain and upgrade the condo for continual 'top-grade' experiences for our guests!
owner purchased this condo in 2012
This desireable condo has it all! Top floor end unit with windows on 3 sides for East, South, and West exposures. Catch the views with sunrise over the Ten Thousand Islands and breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. We have completely redecorated the entire space, starting with new ceramic tile diagonal flooring. All new furniture, lighting & plumbing fixtures, appliances, window coverings, linens, and bedding with fresh paint make this 'show model' new! The 3 flat screen TV's on cable, 2 DVD players, and high speed wireless internet (secured) with phone let you stay connected with the modern world if you choose. But, you might just decide to get into the laid back Marco mode with T-shirts, flip flops, and sunscreen. Coffee on the lanai as the beach and Gulf come alive in the morning, feet in the sand during the day (walk out private access), cocktails for the amazing sunsets. This is an easy place to be!
The Apollo is a favorite destination for many on Marco Island's fabulous Crescent Beach. At the South end of 3 miles of groomed white sand, it sits in a prime spot for beach goers, with a short walk for water sports rentals, volleyball, or Parasailing. A short walk down the streetside gets you to multiple restaurants, shopping, convenience store, spa/salons, movie theaters, and resort hotels. By car you can find all you'll need on the island, but a 30 minute drive South takes you into Everglades City for a Ten Thousand Islands experience. 25 minutes North is Naples with it's world class shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Marco's marinas offer many ways to enjoy the water, either offshore or backwater.
The Apollo has air conditioned common areas, 7 days/week manager on duty, garage parking, and secured entry. The building and common areas are impeccably maintained. Large freshwater pool, hot spa, fitness room, sauna, and tennis courts are available for all guests. Apollo has it's own private beach access, so you're just steps away from the elevator. Sunset Grill is a lounge/restaurant located on the ground floor of Apollo. It offers great food and cold beer (full bar), indoors or outside. It's a busy place and a local favorite!
This was our first time visiting Marco Island and we did our research as to pick the best place to stay. I have to say that this condo was the best place to stay! The place was big, clean, and comfortable. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. They had everything we needed for the most part (had to buy toilet paper, as there was only one roll when we got there) but we went to the store for food and things so it was no biggie (we actually used some of the unused rolls of tp to wrap our shells in for travel home!) The beach is, like most reviews will tell you, ALL shell! You can find some pure sand in spots, but it is mostly shell. We found so many, we couldnt even handle all the shells we were finding. A few properties down the beach (we walked down to go parasailing) have pure sand, so if you need that you can always walk for it. We saw dophins from the beach, two were even chasing a fish it was cute. We saw a huge stingray jump out of the water, which was cool. There was a little one by the beach right by our feet, but it just swam off. Sand dollars, starfish, snails and crabs are all just about 15 ft from the beach - we loved it! The restaurant in the building is ok, it was pretty expensive so we only ate there once. Several places to eat around the island, but all are going to cost more than average. We went to the everaglades and did an airboat tour - probably our favorite thing! We also went deep sea fishing and shelling. I do have to say, if you stay here, you may not want to waste your money on a shelling trip, cause although its cool to take a boat to a deserted island, all the shells you find out there are right here on your beach! We didnt find anything different out there. But a fun boat ride. My family will definitly be back, and when we do, we will book this condo for sure - best one in the building.
My family and I went to Marco Island for our first time this December for the holidays. The condo was perfect, the location was perfect, we had a fabulous time. We had a problem with the wireless connection and the owner was so quick to respond.
This condo is even better in person! The view is amazing! The furnishings are really comfortable,clean, and beachy. Everything you need is in the unit: towels, linens, cooking items and beach chairs. Loved having 2 sides of windows. The breeze was so nice. Hardly had the air on! We never used the pool but it looked really nice and not too crowded. The beach is huge. Just a slight delay in getting keys, but the owner responded right away and came over. I rented this unit over others because they are local and now I'm glad I did. Apollo is a very secure building. You need keys to get in and keys to get in elevator, plus there is a front desk person all day and security at night. The only problem we had was with our older kids coming and going, we really had to coordinate the key situation. Would be nice to have more than 2 sets. We will definitely be back!
We had a fall break vacation with two of our grandsons and their parents and the condo was great for this type of vacation. The condo was immaculate and very warm and welcoming when we arrived. My husband commented that it was well maintained and everything in the condo had been kept up to date. All of us enjoyed the movie theatre on Marco Island as it was a different experience, eating dinner and watching the movie at the same time. The owners of the condo were both helpful and easy to deal with when I had to change dates for the vacation. Again we can't say enough about how clean and beautiful the condo was and we would recommend this condo to anyone who is interested in a quiet, relaxing vacation or a vacation with teenagers.
This was a great family vacation. The owners supplied all that we needed for a relaxing time and the place was clean. We would return without hesitation.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Apollo. The condo was very roomy, and the photos accurately reflected the appearance. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The location was close to great restaurants, and it was great to have the Sunset Grill in the same building. DaVinci's,
Snook Inn, CJ's on the Water, Mango's were just a few of the wonderful restaurants with delicious food.
The owners of the condo were gracious and friendly. If we had any questions or concerns, they were more than helpful in answering them, and they were available with a phone call. That is very important!
The condo was furnished with all the amenities needed for the kitchen, and the beds were comfortable! The linens were of good quality. All in all, it was cozy and comfortable!!
We would definitely recommend staying in this condo, and look forward to returning for another vacation. The time went by too fast!!! Can't wait to go back!!!
Pristine beach with breathtaking sunsets. Easy walk to watersports rentals, activities. Island marinas offer charter fishing, diving, kayaking, sailing, shelling, sightseeing, and Eco- tours as well as daily boat rentals. Explore the Everglades by yourself or with many offered hiking, kayak, airboat, buggy tours. World famous shopping, dining, and cultural centers in nearby Naples (30 minute drive).

Toxicological Responses of Red-Backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) Exposed to Aged and Amended Soils Containing Lead

The use of lead in military and civilian small arms projectiles is widely acknowledged to have resulted in high soil lead concentrations at many small arms ranges. These ranges are often adjacent to wildlife habitat or have become habitat when no longer used. To assess the potential toxicity of lead to terrestrial amphibians in contaminated areas, we exposed 100 red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) to either a control soil or one of four soil treatments amended with lead acetate for 28 days. Analytical mean soil concentrations were 14 (control), 553, 1700, 4700, and 9167 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. An additional 60 salamanders were also exposed for 28 days to one of six field-collected soil samples from a small arms range and a skeet range. The field soil concentrations ranged from 11 (background) to 16,967 mg Pb/kg soil dry weight. Food consisted of uncontaminated flightless Drosophila melanogaster. Salamander survival was reduced in amended soil treatments of 4700 and 9167 mg/kg by 15% and 80%, respectively. Inappetence was observed at 4700 and 9167 mg/kg and growth decreased in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. Total white blood cells decreased 32% at 4700 mg/kg compared to controls and were 22% lower in the 9167 mg/kg treatment. In contrast, survival was 100% for all field-collected soils with no hematological effects. At 16,967 mg/kg there was evidence of soil avoidance and decreased growth. These data suggest marked differences in toxicity and bioavailability of the lead-amended soil in contrast to the field-collected soil containing lead.

Empire East still keen on residential project with Japan's Okada
MANILA, Philippines—Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada may have lost the group of taipan John Gokongwei as an ally in his proposed Philippine gaming hub but not Andrew Tan, whose residential arm Empire East Land Holdings Inc. is keen on pursuing the upscale residential component of the $2-billion entertainment center.
During his company's stockholders meeting on Wednesday, ELI president Charlemagne Yu said there were "ongoing" discussions with the Okada group but ELI was waiting for the Japanese group to commit to the residential project independently of the gaming component.
Yu said ELI was closely watching developments with respect Okada's project.
Based on an announcement in July last year, the plan was to jointly build a P45-billion upscale residential condominium complex in Entertainment City Manila, comprising more than 25 residential towers. This announcement was eclipsed when the Gokongwei group, through Robinsons Land Corp., announced a separate agreement with Okada involving all other components of the project.
The RLC-Okada partnership, however, recently fizzled out in the face of an ongoing probe by US authorities into allegations of improper payments made by Okada's group to gain a foothold in the Philippines.
"We would like to know if they are willing to pursue the development of residential (projects) regardless of the outcome of the casino project," Yu told reporters. Asked if the group was still keen on building 25 residential towers, Yu said nothing had been finalized yet.
The company plans to invest P5 billion each year for the next five years in its expansion program. The P25-billion five-year capital spending program is the biggest medium-term set by ELI so far.
"We think that we can beat the performance last year. If the first quarter is any indication, it's even better. There's money in the market and the economy is doing very well," Yu said. Asked about indications for the second quarter, Yu said it's "really good" and that sales were "very robust."
"We're surprised it's still very good. Consumer confidence is high," he said.
ELI's consolidated net profit grew by 26-percent to P235.35 million in 2012. Consolidated revenues, composed of real estate sales, finance, commissions and other revenues went up by 29 percent to P2.52 billion from a year ago. Real estate sales went up by 40 percent last year while reservation sales reached P30 billion, up by 37-percent year-on-year.
As such, ELI is keen on rolling out more residential units this year than what was brought to the property market last year, Yu said. ELI launched over 2,000 new residential units in 12 towers last year.
Meanwhile, Yu assured the public that Empire East won't be delisted from the stock market after the consolidation of all property units under the group of Andrew Tan into Megaworld Corp.

Nuke Proof Zero Stem
|(0 Reviews)
Store PriceBuy Now
Product DescriptionWhen we wanted to design a stem specifically for the demands of 4X racing, we did what anyone would we asked the experts. Based on input and insights from Team CRC/Nukeproof elite 4X riders Lukas and Michael Mechura we designed the Nukeproof Zero stem a zero-rise, zero-nonsense unit designed to be both lightweight and incredibly stiff to prevent lateral flex. Precision CNC-machined from high-grade 7-series aluminium, the Zero retains strength in high-stress areas and sheds excess grams where possible. The Zero also features a knee-friendly steerer clamp design no protruding edges mean less chance of injury, while micro-fluting helps to dissipate stress loads for additional strength and security. Available in 31.8mm and 35mm bar clamp sizes the Zero features a one-piece four-bolt front clamp for maximum stiffness and security against bar slippage, the Zero is versatile enough for multi-discipline use from 4X racing and Dirt Jump to All Mountain riding, Slopestyle or even DH.

Civic San Diego head leaving
Jeff Graham reportedly moving back to private sector
Civic San Diego President Jeff Graham announced his resignation Wednesday to take a job in the private sector.
Graham, 51, who has headed the city's nonprofit corporation overseeing redevelopment, said he notified his board Friday that his resignation would be effective March 7. He will become senior vice president for public institutions for the Jones Lang LaSalle real estate company's western division. He will remain in San Diego.
"It was an extremely difficult decision to make," Graham said, "but I've decided I'm ready for a different challenge and a little bit more travel. This opportunity presents all of that."
Included in his Jones Lang portfolio is the San Diego Unified Port District's bayfront master plan for Chula Vista. He also expects to consult with school districts, cities, counties, states and housing authorities on developing public land and revitalizing communities.
He said his move was not prompted by the outcome of last week's mayoral election, especially since the winner, Councilman Kevin Faulconer, formerly represented downtown and worked closely with him on many CivicSD projects.
"I don't feel I was concerned on either side of the outcome," he said, referring to Faulconer's opponent, Councilman David Alvarez. "I felt comfort in not having any doubts that Kevin and each of the council members have been supportive and wanted us to survive."
Faulconer, who will appoint a successor, called Graham a "force for positive change" to generate "economic opportunity and prosperity" for the city. He said he would support the agency's mission to create "vibrant, sustainable and thriving San Diego neighborhoods."
Interim Mayor Todd Gloria, who now represents downtown, called Graham an "asset for our city" and wished him well.
"Civic San Diego is an important resource for revitalizing San Diego's neighborhoods," he said, and he expressed confidence that Faulconer would appoint a qualified replacement candidate.
CivicSD oversees downtown planning and permitting and assumed the job of winding down the city's various redevelopment projects when the state abolished the redevelopment agencies in 2011. Its current budget is $6.1 million and it maintains a staff of 32. Graham's salary range was $175,000 to $225,000.
Graham joined CivicSD's predecessor organization, the Centre City Development Corp., in 2007 and assumed the presidency in October 2012 after a four-year gap, stemming from a financial scandal involving his predecessor.
Lately, the agency has been preoccupied with negotiating with the state Department of Finance over what funds and properties may be retained to complete various redevelopment projects started years ago.
"While we weren't successful in everything that we fought with the DOF to try and keep," Graham said, "I think we did fairly well and will continue to do well during that process. It's been a very rough past couple of years."
Meanwhile, CivicSD has been pursuing federal tax grants and setting up investment funds to continue neighborhood revitalization to make up for the loss of property taxes set aside in the old redevelopment project areas.
Both Faulconer and Alvarez stressed neighborhood revitalization and infrastructure investment in their campaigns and Graham said he was sorry to leave the new mayor in the lurch. CivicSD could play an elevated role in financing billions of dollars of neighborhood needs.

The next day was broiling, almost the last, certainly the warmest, of the summer.
from F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby (Chapter VII) on Genius
This is the hottest day of the summer that Daisy mentioned in chapter 1. Also, it's towards the end of the summer which implies we are getting close to the end of this story. Strong heat usually brings out strong emotions, so it appears that we are finally going to see something big happen in the Daisy/Gatsby/Tom love triangle.

I love this powder, it is undetectable on your skin and very good for touch ups. I love pulling out my Chanel compact during lunch at school to do touch ups, everyone else has those cheap Cover Girl ones and this indeed is far better than any other powder I've used before. I used to be scared of powder...now I love it! I will repurchase.

I have Poudre Universelle Compacte in Translucent 1. It is a decent enough pressed powder, but unlike some of the other reviewers I feel it's not quite as sheer, sort of a bit heavy. I don't use pressed powders too often, I usually just blot during the day or use my loose powder (Kanebo Translucent Loose Powder) for touch up. The compact is a little small, and I'm not wild about the applicator. I bought Poudre Universelle Compacte since I needed a pressed powder and I love Chanel foundation. I might buy it again, I'll see when the time comes...

I use this powder on and off depending on my mood. It is very natural, and completely undetectable, and the coverage is light. It is a good setting powder for a liquid foundation, but not pigmented enough to fly solo. This is a great powder for the acne prone because it really lets the skin breathe through. If you are really oily, you will either have to reapply or use blotting sheets.

I returned and purchased this item about 3 times. I know, I couldn't make up my mind. I got it purely for touch ups throughout the day and got 30 Naturel. I used a brush to apply it to my tzone and loved how it kept my skin matte but didn't look powdery or accentuated my pores. I could reapply it as much as I wanted and it would never build up since it's so finely milled. My only complaint is the color selection. 3 different shades, all of which do not suit me. I found the 30, when reapplied looked really dark and muddy on me, but the 20 was way too light and left a white cast. I really wanted to keep this one but had to let it go! Not to mention it cost around $45 CDN!! Just like all Chanel compacts, this one was so darn cute! Nothing compares to MAC blot for touchups though!!

The quality is good, no doubt. This sets makeup well, keeps the shine at bay and does not irritate my sensitive skin. Unfortunately, I am in between shades and this also does not have enough yellow undertones to match my skin.

This power is very very light. It is great for setting your makeup. It is also quite gentle on your skin. Because of its sheer coverage, you almost have to find a foundation w/ the perfect color for you. Chanel doesn't have a good yellow undertone powder though. I'm using the lightest color. It works well b/c it really does not change your face color much. If you want, you can build it up to lighten your color a bit for those winter days when you get just a bit lighter than usual. The only drawback is that this does not last long. You will probably have to touch up every 2 hours or so depending on the weather. I have since switched to origin's skin silk pressed powder for that it gives just a little coverage w/ great yellow-based color.

I bought this in translucent 3. I really wanted a pretty compact powder to carry around with me, and this is it. The powder is finely milled and looks good when used with a fluffy brush, you can also get more coverage if you use the little powder puff. If this wasn't Chanel, I would never have paid $45 for a powder, but it is and I'm a make up junkie. I am willing to try new things but wouldn't necessarily recommend it because of the price.

The first time I can remember wanting makeup was when I was about 7, eating luch with my grandmother. I saw a business woman in the tea room, chicly powdering her nose with a chanel compact. I've wanted one ever since. I purchased my first one in a Nordies GWP event, sure that after 11 years anticipation I would surely be disappointed.
I have severe combo skin; shiny in the T-zone and chin, but dry as the Sahara everywhere else. This powder is fabulous. It mattifies my oilies, without drying my skin out.
The puff included is the most functional of it's kind I've ever seen, with a soft, fluffy side for blotting and a nubbier side for more coverage. It's quite sheer, so if you're looking for a foundation, I would try one of the other powders in the brand.
However, as a pressed blotting powder, it is amazing. When I powder my nose, I don't feel like I'm sopping up an oil slick. I feel like that chic business lady powdering her nose in a tea room.

This is an average product for me. It is sheer and doesn't give much coverage so it's good as a setting powder. However, that's about it...nothing so special about the texture or quality. I love the glamourous compact and the fact that it doesn't oxidise (unlike MAC Select Sheer). Only a few months after the first use, the surface also becomes hardened. I got this from Sephora in the states and paid about 45 US for it. For that price, this product is a disappointment!

My powder code was #30 Naturel and i have fair-medium with yellowish tone complexion. The texture of the powder is fine n smooth but too thick for me n i think it made my complexion appeared dark after awhile. Packaging is classy with the velvet pouch. Dont like the puff that comes with it (thin n square). I find it hard to use. I dont like the smell of the powder too. So i gave it to my aunty. I find it a waste of money for something that doesnt add up to my expectations. Will not buy again.

Joey Votto still hasn't decided if he's playing in the World Baseball Classic
Feb 28, 2013, 11:17 AM EDT
World Baseball Classic games begin this weekend, yet Joey Votto still hasn't made a decision about whether he'll play for Team Canada.
Votto's status for the tournament is in question because of the pair of knee surgeries he had last season, but he's healthy enough to have played in five spring training games for the Reds already.
Votto explained the delayed decision to Barry Bloom of MLB.com:
I don't think it would be fair to anybody to make a commitment like that and then back out right beforehand. I just want to make sure I'm healthy.
Which is fine, except if his health is truly still in question just days before the start of the tournament it would seem like a no-brainer to skip the WBC. And the Reds would probably prefer that too.
Team Canada workouts begin Monday and they have an exhibition game Wednesday … against the Reds. However, even if Votto decides to play for Canada he's unlikely to see any WBC action until the games actually count.

World baseball classic is about as exciting as the WNBA or Olympic basketball. Nobody cares, get rid of it because it costs more to have it then the profit they make from it. And nobody watches it!

"Nobody cares, get rid of it because it costs more to have it then the profit they make from it. And nobody watches it!"
Ummm…you do realize this is a baseball site right? I mean…you are most likely going to find yourself in the minority. Perhaps you should copy and paste your post on PFT. You might find more like minded individuals in which you can then more accurately speak for everyone else.
- joshfrancis50 - Feb 28, 2013 at 12:37 PM
That's a really short-sided point of view. Go to the Dominican Republic and ask if nobody cares. Or Taiwan. Or Venezuela.
I don't personally care for the WBC, but that doesn't mean others don't and that it doesn't matter to a great many people. It doesn't matter to many Americans because we have MLB, which is far and away the best league in the world for baseball; we get to see the stars every day. Much of the world doesn't, let alone to see their country play on a big stage.
There is a lot of national pride on the line and I'm not sure why so many Americans don't have the same feel. I am admittedly among that class, but I'm not sure if it's American arrogance that we have the best product out there (which is debatable) or if it's that we are so wrapped up in the rooting interests of our own teams to be excited about a potential injury as a result of the tourney.

About half the population of Japan was tuned into the 2009 final. That's about 60 million people, which is way more than watched the World Series. You may not care about it, but you are narrow minded and provincial.

I agree with you. I think people like the idea of it, but if any of their team's players went down in what is a glorified exhibition, they would be upset.

If Votto hurts himself playing in the WBC the Reds know what to do…..Blame Canada!

Yup I hate that our fathers killed each other for people who used that time to fill their pockets with filthy amounts of money.
Mad world.

Hey there Videohive! Past 3 days were a blast! Bboykoma and i finally met and we shot a short film It will be online before 28th of July and i can't wait to show you what 2 videohive authors can do together
Also bboykoma and i are planning to meet in Belgrade in about 7-10 days if anyone wants to come it would be awesome!
Here are some pics
Hi Mocarg, you got a composer / sound designer sorted already? Looks good from the snapshots.
Could someone explain why my message was flagged as inappropriate? All I did was post a video link which succintly expressed how much I'd like to be considered as the composer on Mocarg's short film?
This short looks very cool! I'm also working on a short, its going to be around 15 minutes and its loads of work! But we live for this stuff and its just what we do! I would love to show it to you when its done and maybe work with some music composers from these marketplaces
What do you think about a section in the forums, or simply a forum thread where authors can post their own work, like shorts, music videos, etc… that they do independently without any income? I think it would be very nice to see what authors can do with budget from the pocket and some creativity. It can also generate some great inspiration and help the community to evolve.
It's nice seeing you working on a small short Mocarg, I like seeing your work, since you're the one who brought me here! Keep it up!

Aaron Brewer was somewhat reluctant to be interviewed for this story. Not because he's involved in any sort of controversy, but because he's a long snapper.
When long snappers do their job right, no one notices them. The only time they draw attention it's of the unwanted variety – for screwing up.
But this was a special occasion, so Brewer agreed to talk. Two days earlier, the Troy High graduate had played a critical role in a historic event: He snapped the ball that Denver Broncos teammate Matt Prater booted over the crossbar and through the uprights from 64 yards away – breaking an NFL record that had stood for 42-plus years.
In typical fashion, Brewer downplayed his part in the momentous field goal, which set off a raucous celebration at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
"It was pretty cool," the second-year pro said by phone from the Broncos' training facility in Englewood, Colo., where they were preparing for Thursday night's game against the San Diego Chargers.
"Honestly, I didn't know it was the record until he made it and everyone started going crazy."
Brewer didn't realize a record was at stake because he's all about putting his head down – literally – and doing his job. One of the biggest keys to success for long snappers is consistency – making every snap the same, or as close to it as possible.
Snappers have to ignore the elements and circumstances – in this case, frigid weather (game-time temp: 18 degrees) and an opportunity to break a record set by Tom Dempsey in 1970 and tied by three others. Brewer has the ideal mental makeup for the position.
"The guy's pulse rate doesn't get above 30," said Chris Rubio, lead instructor of Rubio Long Snapping, who tutored Brewer, among several other pros. "That's what you want in a long snapper. That's what makes him so good. He's just so laid-back."
That demeanor was one of the traits which led Rubio to believe Brewer could have a long, prosperous career as a long snapper.
Brewer began snapping for Troy as a freshman, the winner of a tryout to perform a task that's a lot more technical and challenging than it looks. Brewer subsequently read a story about Tesoro High's Christian Yount parlaying his snapping skills into a scholarship at UCLA. (Yount now snaps for the Cleveland Browns.) The article mentioned Rubio. The Brewers reached out to the long-snapping guru, who began working with Aaron. Brewer possessed the requisite athleticism, size (he's currently listed at 6-5, 230) and aptitude to develop into a standout snapper.
"He listened very well," Rubio said. "He wasn't just hearing me, he was actually listening. If I said, 'Aaron, I need you to adjust your form a little this way,' he would always do it, and he never complained."
Snapping is not a natural or comfortable activity. Your view of the world is upside-down. But Brewer was used to overcoming adverse situations.
Brewer suffered from dyslexia as a youth. He went on to make the all-academic team in the Mountain West Conference four years in a row at San Diego State, where he majored in finance.
"He's a fighter. He doesn't quit," said Aaron's older brother Nate, the middle of the three Brewer boys. "He's really my idol, my hero. He's a stud, man."
