Do not judge this book by its cover. Recommended by our new teen/young adult specialist, this was a fully engaging read with minimal horse action. Finn is a young man who starts the book towards of the end of his junior year in high school. He's not very sexually experienced but his best friend has a special arrangement with a German exchange student that involves money and out-of-the way places. Finn's father wrote a science fiction book that has attracted a fairly large cult following, and the protagonist of that book is also named Finn.

Her father Andy, running from his demons, has been homeschooling her while they travel across the country for his job as a truck driver. After he returns to his childhood home to offer Hayley more stability, she is enrolled in public school while his PTSD gets worse.

Multiple myeloma is the most frequent cancer to involve the skeleton, with up to 80 percent of patients having bone disease. Although fewer patients appear to have bone involvement more recently, it is still a major source of both complications and death among patients with myeloma.

Recover Your Native Blood Pressure
SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — "HOW TO RECOVER YOUR NATIVE BLOOD PRESSURE – An Easy Way to Lower Your Blood Pressure in 10 Minutes" was published online today by Brahm of San Diego, California. The 10-page booklet describes how taking gentle shallow breaths when sitting or lying down causes the heart to pump less blood per minute, lowering blood pressure. Brahm claims it is easy to make gentle shallow breathing a habit and permanently lower blood pressure. Over months, he says, gentle shallow breathing can lower a person's blood pressure to a "native blood pressure" of roughly 105/70.
For scientists and doctors, the booklet also contains a technical introduction to the breathing minute volume/blood pressure mechanism.
An electronic edition of the booklet is available for $10 at http://www.musculoelasticmodel.com. Professional reviewers and science editors are invited to request a courtesy copy via the contact page of http://www.musculoelasticmodel.com.

Sinopec Says It Cooperates With H.K. Anti-Graft Probe
Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., the country's biggest refiner, said it's cooperating with a Hong Kong anti-graft agency investigation of executives at one of its units in the city.
Sinopec, as the company is called, is "cooperating fully with the relevant authority and will closely follow its progress," the company said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The company's policy is to operate in line with Hong Kong's "core values," and it will not tolerate any illegal or corrupt conduct, Sinopec said.
Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption is probing a Sinopec unit in Hong Kong, Apple Daily newspaper said yesterday, citing an unidentified person. Executives allegedly took bribes before awarding an oil-station contract, according to the report. The ICAC questioned two senior executives, it said.
The company's preliminary understanding is the inquiries relate to the "individual conduct" of the individuals concerned, Beijing-based Sinopec said yesterday. Operations aren't affected, it said.

National Grid, PSALM, NPC slammed for keeping Pablo-hit areas without power
More News from Ayan C. Mellejor
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Electric cooperatives officials took turns, on Saturday, in criticizing the power industry's big three – the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) and the National Power Corp. (NPC)—for their "sluggish response" in restoring full power supply in areas devastated by typhoon Pablo, particularly Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Sur.
Sergio Dagooc, president of the Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives (Amreco), said electric cooperatives serving the typhoon-devastated areas has been striving hard to restore power lines toppled by the typhoon but electricity has not been restored yet because of the lack of power supply flowing in.
Dagooc admitted that electric cooperatives in Pablo-affected areas have not fully restored power lines and toppled posts.
But he said it was not a reason for the NGCP, PSALM and NPC to delay the restoration of power supply in areas where lines and posts have been restored.
Except for lateral connections like residential areas, the rural cooperatives have already set up majority of the toppled electric posts, he said.
"But all our concerted efforts are useless without the support of these agencies," Wilfredo Billena, president of the Philippine Rural Electric Coop. Association, Inc. (Philreca), said.
Dagooc said the three power companies had not even given hints on when they could restore power supply in the typhoon-affected areas.
He said NGCP, PSALM and NPC representatives would not even provide updates on the progress of efforts to restore power in typhoon-affected areas during a meeting on Dec. 13.
"We do not know the progress on the extent of the rehabilitation of their lines. There should be a continuing or periodic report," Dagooc said.
He admitted that the restoration of electricity in Davao Oriental would pose the most difficult challenge but pointed out that Doreco, the power cooperative in the said province, has been exerting full efforts.
Dagooc said Amreco was thankful to the support of members in other parts of Mindanao and cooperatives serving the Visayas Island.
He said these cooperatives had been helping speed up the restoration of topped electric posts and power lines.
"Amreco is also getting assistance from Task Force Kapatid: Typhoon Pablo, a modern day bayanihan and a National Electrification Administration (NEA)-initiated program that pools together volunteers from the different electric cooperatives to render free service to other ECs, which need technical help either in time of calamities for immediate power restoration," Dagooc said.
Horacio Santos of the Caraga Rural Electric Cooperatives Association (CRECA) said the restoration of all toppled lines and posts in Region 13 has been hampered by the lack of cross-arm steel electric posts and other materials.
But he said that NGC, PSALM and NPC had no excuse for not restoring power supply to areas, where lines had already been restored.
"We have restored lines, but the problem is we have no supply," Santos said.

Lippincott 30 - Info wanted - PLEASE

Thanks: 1
Thanked 14 Times in 11 Posts
Rep Power:
I recently had an offer accepted on a Lippincott 30. She'll be surveyed a week from Monday and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed now that all will go well!
I looked at a number of other comparable boats but found the build quality, sailing characteristics, and interior appointments of the L30 superior to other production boats of the same vintage. The interior feels like those of larger, higher end boats and the designers really seem to have thought of little places for everything.
The main weakness I've noted so far is that the stove is set into the counter rather than being gimbaled and that cockpit seat behind the wheel is only about 8" wide. I don't think the stove is going to be a major issue and I'll really have to wait and see how I feel most comfortable steering before I decide to do any mods to the cockpit.
My plan (well, our plan) is to cruise the Chesapeake extensively and perhaps do some of the overnight bay races. I may even eventually move into weekday evening PHRF racing, but that remains to be seen. I have a feeling the L30 will be an excellent cruising boat and an adequate racing boat.
She only comes with a main and a 150 genoa so I'd eventually want to get a working jib or perhaps a 135 that could be roller reefed down to 110ish. I would have liked to have purchased a boat with a stronger sail inventory, but in the end this boat was so well maintained and otherwise well equipped that it was worth the trade off.
All in all I'm very excited! If the survey works out I'll share my experiences and with any luck might be able to reconnect with some of the other L30 owners out there.

The Mayo Clinic says "a Mediterranean diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating, plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps a glass of red wine, among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Most healthy diets include fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains, and limit unhealthy fats."
Head chef Dimitrios Leremias lets his wife Mihaella manage the front of the inn-the reception, dining and bar areas-while he fusses over the kitchen staff. The Leremias' two young daughters have also helped in the inn.
It's no wonder the Fair Haven Inn kitchen staff has been dubbed "the poets of fish". The inn excels in seafood dishes and much of it is prepared in the Greek-Mediterranean way-shrimp a la Greco, salmon exohito, and tsipura are special dishes prepared by Dimitrios; they are worth a long and lingering taste. But even if you prefer turf over surf, there's something that will delight your palette at the Fair Haven Inn.
Dimitrios was born to cook-at age 15 he went to sea aboard Greek passenger liners. There he learned the art of cooking and received his chef's license issued by the Greek government.
While a maritime chef, Dimitrios crisscrossed the world's oceans aboard the luxurious "Pride of Greece", the S.S. Olympia and other Greek Line steamers. Later, when he wearied of ocean crossings, he befriended former Fair Haven Inn owner John Lemnotis. He married, moved to the United States, and later purchased the inn, in 2006, from his friend Lemnotis who still lives in the area. Continuing Lemnotis' tradition at the inn, the Leremias family offer custom catering services, they arrange weddings large or small, set up banquets and host various seminars.
This month, the Fair Haven Inn will celebrate Eastern Orthodox Eastern on Sunday, April 19, noon-4 p.m., with a giant spread of all kinds of Mediterranean delights including Greek pastries to die for. You don't have to be Greek to enjoy this celebration. It's an ideal time to visit the inn and experience the magnificence of Rutland County's best-kept secret . You never know-you may rub elbows with a celebrity or two.
Check It Out: The Fair Haven Inn Restaurant, 5 Adams St., Fair Haven, Vt. Owners Dimitrios and Mihaella Leremias, 265-4907 or 800-325-7074.

Power outage electrifies CBS Super Bowl broadcast
Sunday - 2/3/2013, 11:14pm EST
By JAKE COYLE
AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - When the lights went out at the Super Bowl, CBS' telecast got a jolt.
The power outage in the Super Dome in New Orleans sent the network scrambling and silenced its announcers for about half an hour. The remarkable scene _ probably the most-watched "we're having technical difficulties" moment in television history _ also made CBS' broadcast compelling at a time when the game was looking like a blow-out.
Early in the game's second half, a portion of the Superdome lost power, including CBS' broadcasting booth where Jim Nantz and Phil Simms were calling the game. It led to an awkward, ambient few moments of darkness and quiet in a broadcast that's otherwise nonstop noise. A highly orchestrated media event was suddenly forced to improvise.
It took several minutes and numerous commercial breaks for CBS to find its footing and inform viewers of the situation. Social media went wild with a stream of joke conspiracy theories.
Eventually, CBS sideline reporter Steve Tasker _ the MVP on the night, regardless of the play on the gridiron _ announced the problem of a "click of the lights" to viewers. Later, the halftime crew anchored by host James Brown returned to fill time with football analysis. Brown said a power surge caused the outage.
That left the CBS NFL Today crew of Brown, Dan Marino, Bill Cowher and Shannon Sharpe to improvise by talking football. With little awareness of the power outage, the group bantered about the game to pad for time, even though viewers at that point had little interest in football strategy. Marino claimed halftime performer Beyonce knocked the lights out.
Calm and collected, Nantz and Simms finally returned from their unexpected exile as the lights came back on. Simms said he momentarily thought they were going to have to call the rest of the game from the sidelines.
"Hey, the next time you decide to plug in your phone charger, give us a warning, will you?" said Nantz.
"I was doing some of my best work during that blackout," replied Simms.
CBS issued a statement later in the game, saying that "we lost numerous cameras and some audio powered by sources in the Super Dome." The network said it used backup power and that "all commercial commitments during the broadcast are being honored."
The power outage may have had the ironic effect of keeping viewers glued to their TVs, amazed at seeing the biggest TV event of the year momentarily shut down. At the time of the outage, the game was becoming a rout, with the Baltimore Ravens beating the San Francisco 49ers 28-6.
But afterward, momentum shifted and the 49ers rallied, making it a close game that went down to the wire before the Ravens edged out a 34-31 victory. Close contests are essential for retaining a big Super Bowl audience, so the shift that followed the outage held major ratings implications for CBS. The last three years, the game has successively set viewership records. Last year's Super Bowl drew 111.3 million average viewers for NBC.
But ratings are a mere point of pride for CBS, with the ads sold-out well in advance, (some at more than $4 million a pop). The game was also streamed live on both CBSSports.com and NFL.com.
The chaos of the power failure outshined all other aspects of CBS' broadcast, which had seemed certain to focus on a handful of storylines: the head coaching brothers John and Jim Harbaugh (CBS scored their parents on the pregame); the threat to player safety by head injuries (a pregame segment took an optimistic view); and Ray Lewis' final game and fraught legacy.
Nantz reminded viewers during the game of the 2000 double murder case in which Lewis testified against two men and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice. But Sharpe, Lewis' former teammate, let him completely evade the subject in a pregame interview.
Nantz also smartly predicted the Ravens possibly taking a safety willingly at the end of the game for the sake of time and field position. Simms initially dismissed the idea, but it was what the Ravens elected to do and it was successful.
CBS didn't overplay the Harbowl angle (if anything, it felt more like the Beyonce Bowl), and didn't flash to the parents in the crowd until the second quarter. Director Mike Arnold did land the money shot of the game: The two coaches embracing at midfield after the game. (Its cameras and microphones also caught Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco celebrating with profanity.)
But this year's Super Bowl broadcast will be remembered for the blackout _ how CBS handled and benefited from an awkward situation. Nantz put the fitting final word on the Ravens' win: "The adversity they faced tonight was to somehow rekindle the energy after it had been taken _ literally _ out of the building."

Best Restaurant, Reader's Choice: Khan B.B.Q. (seekh kebab)
Reader's Choice
Khan B.B.Q.
Sometimes it's difficult to access the abundance of edible riches along Devon Avenue because its Western Avenue gateway is occupied by the marvelous Khan B.B.Q. Owner Khalifa M. Amjad Khan and chef Sultan Ahmed both learned to cook from their mothers in Pakistan and have spent years here weathering the storms of the restaurant business, including a devastating 2006 fire that resituated the joint in its current spot. God love Alinea, Hot Doug's, and, OK then, Lula too, but Khan is an emblem of egalitarian consistency—friendly, embarrassingly inexpensive—and every offering is always just plain delicious, from the charcoal-fired tandoor meats, such as the iconic chicken boti, to the simple stewy platters of chana masala and daal palak. And unlike some uncompromisingly ethnic spots around town, Khan doesn't make customers suffer through an initiation period to get the real stuff. Open till midnight. 2401 W.

schizophrenia (skĬt´səfrē´nēə), group of severe mental disorders characterized by reality distortions resulting in unusual thought patterns and behaviors. Because there is often little or no logical relationship between the thoughts and feelings of a person with schizophrenia, the disorder has often been called
"split personality."
However, the condition should not be confused with multiple personality, a disorder in which the individual has two or more distinct personalities that dominate at different times.
In 1896, the German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin grouped what were previously considered unrelated mental diseases under the term dementia praecox. It was not until 1908, however, that an influential essay by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler corrected Kraepelin's theory that the disease was an organic brain deterioration and thus incurable. Bleuler introduced the term schizophrenia to replace dementia praecox, emphasizing the dissociative phenomena in the mind and avoiding the implications of early onset and progressive brain deterioration.
Schizophrenic disorders generally begin in the late teenage years or early adulthood and tend to occur in withdrawn, seclusive individuals. The lifetime prevalence worldwide has been estimated to be just under 1%, and the disorder affects 1.5 to 2 million people in the United States alone. Symptoms include disturbances of thought, both in form and content (see delusion), and disturbances of perception, most commonly appearing as visual or aural hallucinations.
There are five major types of schizophrenia listed by the American Psychiatric Association in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The most severe are disorganized (hebephrenic) schizophrenia, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, inappropriate laughing and crying, incoherent speech, and infantile behavior; and catatonic schizophrenia, characterized by physical rigidity or hyperactivity. Paranoid schizophrenics can often function relatively normally, although they may be disturbed by persecutory delusions and hallucinations, and they tend to exhibit argumentative behavior. The presence of a combination of symptoms from other types is classified as undifferentiated schizophrenia. Residual schizophrenia is constituted by minor symptoms, which occur as an active episode diminishes.
The cause of schizophrenia is unknown. Genetic factors appear to be involved in producing susceptibility to the condition, with studies among identical twins showing a 30%–50% concordance rate, a figure that has been confirmed by the results of adoption studies. Biochemical research suggests that high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, or excessive numbers of receptors for dopamine, may be at the root of schizophrenia. Medical imaging studies have revealed various physical and physiological anomalies in some patients. Other research has focused on mistiming of neural responses to stimuli in the brain. Many researchers maintain that a combination of influences, including such environmental factors as viral illness or malnutrition in the patient's mother during pregnancy, may lead to schizophrenia,
Antipsychotic drugs (see psychopharmacology), sometimes in conjunction with psychotherapy, have greatly improved the treatment of schizophrenia. Hospitalization is sometimes needed initially to provide basic personal needs (safety, food, and hygiene) while acute symptoms are treated. Most patients return to the community with varying degrees of independence and with good prospects for long-term remission of symptoms.
See R. Miller and S. Mason, Diagnosis: Schizophrenia (2002); studies by I. I. Gottesman (1991) and H. Häfner and W. F. Gattaz, ed. (1991).

Hines Ward will undoubtedly have a tough time dancing himself out of this one.
Just a week after the city of Pittsburgh held a rally to celebrate the Steelers receiver's victory in Dancing with the Stars, Ward was arrested for driving under the influence in DeKalb County, Ga. early this morning. TMZ was the first to report the news. Ward posted his $1,000 bail and was released.
With the NFL lockout in effect, the extent of disciplinary action (if any) that will be taken by either the league or the Steelers in Ward's case is unknown. According to SB Nation:
The last player of Ward's caliber cited for DUI was Braylon Edwards in September 2010; Edwards missed part of the New York Jets' next game as a result of the arrest.
All we can say is: so much for "once-again shining the spotlight on Pittsburgh." We have a sneaky feeling this wasn't exactly the kind of spotlight Mayor Luke Ravenstahl had in mind when he agreed to host a rally of questionable necessity.

Killer Kane
|Buck Rogers character
|Killer Kane
|The Leader Kane; The Leader
|The Leader of the Planet Earth and, briefly, Dictator of the Planet Saturn
|Buck Rogers; the Hidden City
|Weapon of Choice:
|Raygun; Amnesia Helmet
|Portrayed by:
|Anthony Warde (1939 serial)
Henry Silva (1979 film)
Michael Ansara (1979 series)
Killer Kane is a fictional character in the 1939 Buck Rogers serial film produced by Universal Studios. Kane is a gangster (or "super-racketeer") who became the supreme dictator of Earth with the help of his criminal army. Although the events of the serial transpire in the year 2440, Kane has apparently ruled the world for some time before that. He was portrayed by actor Anthony Warde.
Although Kane is the main villain in the serial, he comes face-to-face with his rival Buck Rogers only a few times. He rarely leaves his council chambers, preferring to let his underling Captain Laska carry out his commands. Although he is the unquestioned ruler of the planet, Kane's actions show that he is still, at heart, a mere thug; he screams insults at his lieutenants ("You blockheads!" seems to be his favorite) and bullies other subordinates. He even pushes and shoves his councilors out of his chambers at one point.
The character also appeared in the 1979 film and subsequent TV series, in which he was a defector from Earth to the Draconian Empire and sought to assist its malevolent leader Emperor Draco and his daughter Princess Ardala in conquering Earth.
In the 20th century, the forces of crime and disorder around the world steadily gained power. Because of the inability of society to control the criminal element, gangsters and racketeers gradually dominated the governments of the world. Some time before the year 2440, a "super-racketeer" known as Kane achieved complete global domination. His cruel, ruthless rule earned him the nickname "Killer Kane".
Supported by a council of lesser gangsters, and backed by an army of raygun-toting crooks, Kane managed to suppress all resistance, save for a valiant few who made their new home in the so-called "Hidden City". These rebels, led by the wise Dr. Huer and his military counterpart, Air Marshal Kragg, hoped to gain the aid of the forces of Saturn. However, knowing that the support of the Saturnians could help the Hidden City overthrow him, Kane posted patrols in the atmosphere to prevent any ship from leaving the planet.
The revival of 20th-century pilot Buck Rogers proved to be the beginning of the end for Kane. In short order, Buck evaded Kane's space patrols; outmaneuvered his chief lieutenant, Captain Laska; thwarted the attempted kidnapping of Prince Tallen, ambassador of Saturn; released political dissidents from Kane's "Robot Battalion"; and finally overthrew and captured Kane and his entire criminal government.
Kane is vain, pompous, and overconfident. He dresses flamboyantly, resides in a luxury penthouse suite, and maintains a finely trimmed mustache. Although the people over whom he rules refer to him as "Killer Kane," he prefers to be addressed (and identifies himself) as "The Leader Kane" (or simply "The Leader") and presents himself to the Saturnians as a benevolent monarch. Although he seems obsessed with finding and destroying the Hidden City, he apparently never considers the possibility that they will mount a serious offensive against him.
As a leader, Kane tolerates no dissent. Through the use of his brainwashing "Amnesia Helmets," Kane reduces his human opponents to mere automatons who labor mindlessly in his prison camps. When dealing with his minions, Kane is easily driven to impatience; while listening to a report, he only allows his henchman to state his name and location before exclaiming, "Never mind all that!"
When Kane actually has the upper hand over Buck Rogers, gaining complete control over him with an Amnesia Helmet, Kane does not finish his enemy off. Instead, he has Buck kneel down and polish his boots while the dictator gloats over him.
When measured against other serial villains such as Ming the Merciless, Killer Kane pales somewhat in comparison[1] and the script of the 1939 serial gives him little to do other than yell at his henchmen and strut about his council chambers.
1979 TV series[edit]
In the 1979 television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Kane is reimagined as a defector from Earth to the Draconian Realm, a powerful empire said to have conquered three quarters of the known universe. Known simply as "Kane" in this version, he is the supreme commander of the Draconian forces under the Emperor Draco. While the original Killer Kane was the absolute leader, in the TV series, Kane answers to Draco and (grudgingly) his daughter Princess Ardala, who acts as Draco's emissary (although Princess Ardala did not appear in the 1939 serial, a character named Ardala Valdemar was one of Kane's subordinates). In the 1979 pilot film, the role was played by Henry Silva while in the follow-up series, he was played by Michael Ansara. The two portrayals are somewhat different. Silva's Kane was much cooler and more calculating who often took a firm hand with Ardala whom he had designs on, whereas Ansara's Kane was more subservient to Ardala.

"The easternmost portion of the Duluth Traverse, in Lester Park."

Virtual Ride
DescriptionThis is a rolling, bermed, flowing, machine-built stretch of singletrack, generally following the western edge of Lester River.
This trail is ripping fast both ways: DESCENDING is fantastic and nearly effortless because you can keep your speed through the countess bermed hairpin turns. And if you're ASCENDING (starting from Lester Park), the trail rolls and flows so effortlessly, that you practically feel like you're pumping your way to the top.
As an easy/intermediate trail there are no notable riding 'features' and no technical b-lines. But, experienced riders will have tons of fun "narrowing the trail" by simply going faster and riding the roller coaster.
Also, there are several nice scenic overlooks on the east side of the trail, looking down on the Lester River. Especially nearest the bottom, there are a few places where the trail comes close to the edge of the river gorge, which could pose a risk to the very youngest/least experienced riders (however, my 5-yr old handled it just fine by staying slow and in control).
- This is a two-way trail, so watch for opposing traffic
- Also, this is a multi-use trail, so watch for pedestrians
This portion of trail was completed & opened in July of 2014 and will eventually connect to subsequent portions of the Duluth Traverse heading west (to the Hartley trails, Piedmont trails, Brewer Park trails, and Mission Creek trails).
You can also make a loop ride by connecting to the Amity Creek section of singletrack (west of Amity Creek).
Park in the main parking lot at Lester Park to start out with more climbing, or park at the top, where Skyline Parkway intersects Seven Bridges Rd, to start out with more descending.

I don't like fun!
I was once able to keep an entire chapstick till the end. If that doesn't impress you then I have no idea what will. I'm not really into having fun. I prefer talking about numbers or rocks or something. I'm pretty sarcastic. I come from a big family so I like to have company and be busy! I'm a cameraman and I really enjoy my work. I've been doing a lot of reality stuff lately which is fun if you're on the right show! I'm fortunate to get paid to do something I can be creative with (sometimes). I also like to write. I love Boston. It's been my home for 7 years now. The burb life is not really for me, I prefer to be living in the city (for the moment I am not). I like music and live shows. I play a few instruments (piano, drums, guitar) well enough to jam out w some friends in their garage. We are AWFUL but we have fun doing it. I think Boston has some really great venues for live music. I love the Bank of America Pavilion. It's one of my favorite places in the country to see a show. The Black Keys there were great! Life is too short to be serious all the time! I like a strong woman who is sassy, feisty, and fun! I really enjoy being able to discuss anything w the person I am seeing. Intelligence is one of the sexiest qualities a woman can have! Lastly, here is the obligatory "I don't know about this online dating thing". I've known a couple people it's worked for so why not give it a shot?
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish, Horses, Other
I am a friend to all animals.
Some other viewpoint
I like to eat at Citizens Public House in Fenway, Giacomo's in the South End, and Washington Square Tavern in Brookline.
Pasta, whales, dogs, a good bourbon, a good beer, a new pair of jeans, a new pair of shoes, silly putty, pens, notebooks... I like a lot of stuff.
I like to do just about anything. I like to do weeknight things and weekend things.

Allen Feels for Marbury
|01.03.09 at 12:13 pm ET
Ray Allen has always felt a connection to Stephon Marbury. The two have been linked together since they were teenagers and Allen has kept tabs on Marbury's career, from the highs of All-Star seasons to the lows of the on-going standoff with the New York Knicks. Even though Marbury is direct competition in the backcourt, Allen can't help but feel for the embattled guard.
'It's somewhat disappointing watching what happened with Stephon,' Allen said after Saturday's practice. 'He and I grew up playing together, against each other [in] high school basketball and then being drafted together, we got traded for each other. So I've always followed his career. He was in my draft class.
"So this year was somewhat disappointing regardless of whatever was going on in the organization, I thought he still could help that team. So it's not like he's a guy who can't play basketball anymore. With his skill set, his talent, he still can come out and play basketball and carry a team.'
Will Marbury carry the Celtics this season? Allen has not spoken with Marbury about any talks about a move to Boston and wouldn't offer any insight on the rumors.
'Danny's the guy who has to make decisions and we feel as though he's very, very qualified to make those decisions,' Allen said of Celtics President Danny Ainge. 'So for us right now, we've got to focus on what's going on here on the floor. If that does happen then will move on with that, with Stephon.'
Even though Allen won't speculate on Marbury, that doesn't mean he would oppose an additional asset this season.
"We welcome the help," he said. "Our egos, we're pretty selfless here on this team when it comes to playing basketball. We just want to win."
While Marbury's future is in question, Allen has little doubt about his game. Even though he hasn't seen him play since preseason action, he has a feeling Marbury's not letting up.
'He's always been a strong guy so I know he hasn't, basketball-wise, he hasn't fallen off,' Allen said. 'And not to mention with the speculation out there, in his mind I bet you he believes that if he has a chance to come here that he's probably doing what he needs to do to take care of himself.'
The Celtics will take on the Knicks on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

As soon as Colonel Gavin Romney has healed, he'll return to war and see Bonaparte vanquished forever. Yet his children's governess is proving a formidable adversary on the home front. For pretty, determined Hannah Fletcher wants the earl to fulfill the one role he's sure is beyond him: loving parent.
Hannah can't bear to see her three motherless charges lose their father, too. When Gavin impulsively offers a marriage of convenience for the children's sake, she believes the gulf between them is too wide. Now the earl is ready to wage a very different campaign--for Hannah's tender heart, and for the family he longs to reclaim

Disaster Management Planning
Good disaster management separates those companies that will survive a disaster from those who will not. Accidents are inherently unpredictable both in its nature and timing. However the impact of a disaster are predictable and can be planned for. Some companies who have managed disasters well have emerged with higher reputation, and increased customer and staff loyalty. Disaster management plan (DMP) addresses both managing immediate crisis and recovering normal production and service.
Following key questions will help you in understanding the importance of disaster management plan:
Do you feel your premises could be affected by any one of the events, for example - explosion, fire, flood, earthquake, utility failure?
Do you rely on single dominant supplier, customer or distributor?
Are there any incidents or business problems that could impact the rest of your business, for example major environmental accident, multiple fatality accident, product safety recall?
Do you know what your customers need from you as absolute minimum?
CMSRSL helps clients to evolve an effective Disaster Management Plan as per NFPA 1600 � Standard on Emergency / Disaster Management and Business Continuity Programmes. The key steps involved in the preparation of DMP are depicted below:

CMSRSL can also review the existing DMP as per NFPA 1600.

Originally written on Cub Reporter | Last updated 11/8/14
The Cubs have signed RHP Scott Baker for $5.5M, plus $1.5M in incentives. He became a free agent after the Twins declined his $9.5M option for 2013. The Good: Baker will be playing his age 30 season and has a career 63-48 record and 3.44 K/BB ratio. His career rates are: 7.2 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 1.2 HR/9. He only costs $5.5M in guaranteed money which is pretty cheap for a starter that threw 170-200 innings in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Bad: Baker is coming off "surprise" Tommy John surgery last April. He also missed time in 2011. His ERA+ for his career is just 102. The Judgement: While most pitchers are back on the mound a year later or less after Tommy John surgery, it's my personal and casual observation that it takes a good 2-3 months after that for the pitcher to regain their full control and consistency. We may see some flashes of his old self, but I don't know if we'll see it start after start right away. And if they are trying another Maholm signing to try and flip him at the dead...
