It was clean and warm.
That I had to call a number on the door to get reception. Would have been good to have someone in the lobby at 3pm.
Their website held false information regarding their amenities.
Was under renovation. Will be better place to stay when renovations are done.
I like the location of the hotel.
I found the bed bug in room. I hope make deep clean in the further. The window shell has fall down need to fix as we'll.
Clean room
There was a knocking noise all night in the wall and I could not slepp.
Great Location. Nice person at the front desk. Clean. Good price.
A little old.
Very clean, new beds, and fixtures in the washrooms. Very good value for a reasonable price
For the price, nothing wrong
Convenient location, very friendly and obliging manager
TV didn't work flyscreen broken ....just showing signs of needing a little tidying up
Looks shady from outside but cute from inside.
Exterior of the motel is quite run down
The staff is so helpful and nice. escorted me to the room and made sure it was adequate. The cabins are cozy and clean. The was an electric fireplace in the room which we enjoyed.
My second stay here and the second incident with a spider in the tub. Please,I do understand they come up through the drain, they come into my tub at home. I guess it should have made me fell like I was home. Including the shreaks from the bath. Spider!!
Everything except the manager who could have been more helpful.
The manager
The staff was very friendly and interested in seeing that we were satisfied.
The room was smaller than I expected it to be.
Basic, small and old. We paid too much for what we got. Very small. This is a remote town in the off season.
Amenities like pillows and towels were not up to the price.
Here's why:

The next button is enabled even though there are no items in the carousel, and it seems as if JCarousel thinks it has infinite items, because when I click the next, it actually scrolls.
I want to disable the 'next' when there are no items in the Carousel.
The Carousel works perfectly when there are items in the carousel btw! I have absolutely no experience with JQuery, only some javascript.
This is what I have:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
I think I should use initCallback somehow, but as I said, I have no experience with JQuery at all. BTW here is all JCarousel parameters and I think, how to set them.
Hopefully somebody out there will help me.

The year of the rugby hangover
Coming in off the long runShare your stories, photos and videos.

Off the long run
With only days to go to Christmas, it's once again that time of the year to look back on the year of rugby that has been.
It was always going to be hard for 2012 to live up to the drama and euphoria of 2011 - the word hangover comes to mind in the year after every Rugby World Cup. And at certain points of the season, it did feel as though the New Zealand rugby public was still suffering from overload in the aftermath of that epic October night in Auckland.
Even the rugby on show seemed to suffer a bit. The Six Nations was thrilling as usual even if the rugby wasn't quite of the highest quality with Wales winning their second Grand Slam in four years, beating France in Cardiff in an epic final weekend decider. However, Les Bleus had the last laugh later in the year with a terrific autumn campaign to solidify their position as one of the top seeds at the next RWC in England, while Wales slumped to a winless seven-game streak and ended up in the pool of death.
The rugby played on the other side of the world wasn't be much better. The All Blacks won all their games but it had to be said they did it without going in to top gear until the away games in Buenos Aires and Johannesburg. The game in the grandiose La Plata Stadium was, in my opinion, the best performance by the world champion All Blacks in 2012.
The Wallabies were beset by injury, the Springboks were in rebuild mode and Los Pumas were always going to be a bit raw going in to their first Rugby Championship. Nevertheless the potential is there for the Rugby Championship to be very exciting in years to come now that Argentina has added its flair to the contest.
The All Blacks are in a good shape and continue to refresh their squad with young talent. Retallick, Romano, Savea, Smith, Coles were superb as they made their All Black debuts. However, the thrashing by England in that last game will leave a sour taste for the summer and a lot more thinking for the coaches to do in to keep the All Blacks fresh and on top of the world of rugby. The 2013 season should be tougher with the Boks, Wallabies and Pumas likely to be much stronger than they were this year.
While the international game was a bit of a mixed bag this year, the domestic game was a different story, with the Super Rugby championship providing plenty of excitement in its new format. The international break failed to stop the Chiefs momentum as they deservedly won their maiden championship. It was a remarkable achievement for first-year coach Dave Rennie, who has turned the Chiefs from perennial bridesmaids in to probably New Zealand's Super Rugby powerhouse. What is striking is that the Chiefs have plenty of young players who can only get better in years to come under the former New Zealand Under-20 coach. It is up to the Crusaders, Hurricanes, Blues and Highlanders to catch up to the men from the Mooloo now.
The NPC also provided plenty of great rugby with interest alive in the provinces. The format will be tweaked slightly for 2013 with less of the unpopular midweek games. The lower divisions of provincial rugby provided the romantic stories of the year - East Coast staging a comeback of the ages against Wanganui to win the Meads Cup, and Counties rolling back the years with some scintillating rugby to earn promotion back to the top division against Otago. Both Counties and Otago were superbly coached by two former All Blacks backs - Tana Umaga and Tony Brown respectively - and it showed in the thrilling attacking rugby they played.
At the top end of the NPC, Canterbury's dominance of the game continued and this Canterbury side must surely rank alongside the great Auckland team of the 1980s and early 1990s, as the greatest provincial side ever.
So, who makes my starting team of the year?
1. Cian Healy, Ireland
2. Bismarck du Plessis, South Africa
3. Dan Cole, England
4. Sam Whitelock, New Zealand
5. Richie Gray, Scotland
6. Dan Lydiate, Wales
7. Richie McCaw, New Zealand
8. Kieran Read, New Zealand
9. Mike Phillips, Wales
10. Dan Carter, New Zealand
11. Bryan Habana, South Africa
12. Ma'a Nonu, New Zealand
13. Conrad Smith, New Zealand
14. Cory Jane, New Zealand
15. Israel Dagg, New Zealand
Game of the season: Highlanders 36-33 Cheetahs. One of the greatest comebacks ever in Super Rugby with the Highlanders seemingly out of the game at 30-9 in Bloemfontein but an injury to flyhalf Johan Goosen and quick tries by the Highlanders saw the tide completely turn in this game/ Chris Noakes sealed a remarkable comeback with a 79th minute penalty.
Try of the season: Bryan Habana v New Zealand. Habana at his best and a great treat for the crowd at the first ever All Blacks game at the new stadium.
Coach of the season: Steve Hansen would be most people's votes but he did inherit the team Graham Henry coached to World Cup glory even if he superbly blended in youth this season. My vote goes to Tony Brown, a first year coach who turned a group of club players in to a superb NPC team that very nearly earned promotion to the premiership. The former first-five from Kaitangata could be a must-watch for Highlanders coaches in years to come.

Could John Travolta Play a Future Bond Villain?
It's been a rough decade for John Travolta, and his self-destructive slide looks to continue now that he's signed on to voice the lead character in a Gummy Bears movie. For that reason, we have a hard time believing that he's spoken to the James Bond franchise producers about playing a villain in a future film, but according to a recent interview, he claims that such meetings have occurred and have been fruitful.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The LEGO Movie' Constructs a Big Opening
And here we are: five weeks into the new year and we already have our first major blockbuster of 2014. Early estimates had 'The LEGO Movie' opening big, but the animated adventure shattered all expectations this weekend, with universally positive reviews and word of mouth sending the film to a massive opening.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ride Along' Laps 'That Awkward Moment' and 'Labor Day'
Unless you had a personal stake in a film being released this weekend, movies were far from the most important thing happening to you these past couple of days. You can blame the weekend's mostly anemic box office on one thing: the Super Bowl. Everyone spent their money buying snacks and preparing their parties and not going to see 'That Awkward Moment' and 'Labor Day,' both of which opened soft.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ride Along' Leaves 'I, Frankenstein' Choking on Exhaust
Ah, a week at the box office where the new release flies completely under the radar and everything else feels like it's just hanging out because there's nothing else to push it off the charts. Welcome to January. Welcome to the home of movies like 'I Frankenstein,' which was dead on arrival this weekend and will vanish into dollar theaters within the next week or so.
2014 Razzie Nominations: 'Grown Ups 2,' 'After Earth' and 'Movie 43′ Lead the Pack
The "Golden Raspberry" Razzie awards set out to do the opposite work of the Academy Awards and "honor" the year's worst films, and every year, they have plenty of material to work with. While 2013 may have been one of the best years for movies in recent memory, it was also home to enough deplorable junk to make this a fairly interesting (if not at all surprising) year for Razzies.
New Study Reveals Americans Aren't Going to the Movies; Blame 3D and Rude Moviegoers
Every year presents a new apocalypse for the film industry and every year sees movies and theaters evolving to match the increasingly strange age that we live in. However, Hollywood's evolution may not be happening fast enough to win back certain audiences. A new Harris Poll asked Americans about their moviegoing habits and the results are a fascinating combination of the surprising and the not-so-surprising.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Lone Survivor' is the Weekend's Lone Victor
New releases have a habit of floundering in January, which tends to be one of Hollywood's biggest dumping grounds. Even this year's big January horror release, which is commonly a sure thing, floundered. What does tend to do well are the prestige pictures that opened late in the previous year (often in limited release) and finally expand in the new year, riding awards momentum to solid box office.
Of course, this is just a roundabout way of saying that Peter Berg's 'Lone Survivor' emerged from limited release this week to kick everyone's ass at the box office.
Lucasfilm and Marvel Team Up For New 'Star Wars' Comics
In 1977, Marvel Comics published the very first 'Star Wars' comic book. Now, nearly 40 years later, George Lucas' beloved universe is coming home. In an act of unsurprising corporate synergy, Lucasfilm has announced that, beginning in 2015, Marvel will exclusively publish new 'Star Wars' comic books for the fans hoping to experience the saga outside of the main films.
The Rock Teases Involvement In a DC Superhero Movie
Earlier today, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson answered questions from fans as part of a free-for-all Twitter Q&A. Although you can check out the rest of the questions and answers by searching for the #RockTalk hashtag, one item should prove particularly interesting to fans of comic book movies. The beloved action star said that he's met with Warner Bros. executives concerning a DC Comics movie of some kind.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' Rises to the Top
If it's set in Middle Earth, it's going to open at number one. That's common knowledge. The big question is always how big or how small it's going to open at number one. 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' did open at number one this weekend, but it's a number that's going to feel controversial for people who like to bicker about box office numbers. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it disappointing? Honestly, you could make a case for all of those.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'Frozen' Heat Up the Box Office
In one of the biggest holiday weekends of all time, the combined might of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' and 'Frozen' proved that yes, ladies can star in major blockbuster movies. We'll see if this lesson sticks (it won't), but between those two and the surprisingly female-friendly 'Thor: The Dark World,' this was a great weekend if you were looking for quality family entertainment that didn't treat its woman characters like crap.

What a great car seat ... talk about riding in comfort.
Better than Britax By Anonymous, Carlsbad, CA
January 1, 2004
I never thought I'd be saying that after having a Roundabout for 3 years, but after my little girl had outgrown her favorite seat, a new search had begun. She is petite but at that difficult in-between stage...she just fits in a Britax highback booster but at 32 pounds, not safely enough for our peace of mind. Then she's too big for the Marathon. So, 1 returned car seat later (the Eddie Bauer Summit which slid around in our van's latchless captains chairs like a hockey puck on ice)we started looking at the Decathalon, the Boulevard and the Recaro Young Sport. Other reviewers are right--my little girl complained immediately that the Boulevard's center crotch buckle piece was hurting her and the Decathalon didn't leave her much height to grow. As soon as we put her in the Recaro, she said "I want this one! I love it!" The seat depth was perfect, and the padded buckle was soft. Some adjustable height boosters have padding that pushes the kids' upper back forward and cause them to slouch forward but Recaro's seat back padding is thick and flat. After one try of installing it by myself, it was in tight and wouldn't budge! The shoulder strap actually crosses the frame of the seat and holds it in tight. The side impact molding is surprisingly hard and sturdy and I feel so secure knowing that her head and body are protected. I am so glad we can keep her in a harness till she gains more weight. I would recommend this seat to anyone whose child is in that transition stage! The store told us to keep the tags on in case we wanted to return it but my little girl said to me.."mommy lets take those tags off--I never want to return this seat!"
Very Happy with Purchase. By Marty Finn

May 22, 2009
Perfect for our son to sleep in, very very safe (he was in one of these in the back seat of our mini van when my wife was rear-ended by a truck destroying the van - he did not even get a scratch or a bruise - the neck guards are very protective). It is a comfortable seat that is each to use... We like it much better than Britax models. Will get another one for our next child.
Worth every penny! By Deanna Wong
July 6, 2009
We have been using two Signo seats for over a year now, and we could not be happier with the safety, performance, or appearance (they still look like new). Although this seat is very easy to transfer from car to car, this third purchase was dedicated to Grandma's car. The safety of our 21 month baby boy is number one. The 5 point harness (to 70 pounds) and the easy shoulder strap adjustment (just turn the knob!) make this simple for grandma to use. It is a very comfortable seat, even on long road trips.

As our daughter approached 1 year (and the limits of her Peg Perego SIP 30/30 Infant Seat), my husband and I cast about for a similarly safe, comfortable seat. Ultimately the tipping point for the Recaro, in addition to its impressive safety record, sturdy construction and obvious comfort, was the head support. We liked the idea that our daughter could fall asleep during long car rides in comfort with her head and neck supported.
When we received and installed the Recaro Signo, it did not disappoint. This is a well made, sturdy, safe car seat. And our daughter took to the new seat with glee.
We chose to installed the seat rear-facing in our Lexus RX 300 until our daughter reaches the 35 lb weight limit for rear-facing. The seat fits wonderfully in the middle of the backseat. Plenty of room in the back seat on either side, plenty of room for the front seats -- even room for the front passenger seat to fully recline!
We couldn't be more happy with our decision.

It got here fast, in great condition, product matched the description By David U

As stated above, everything was great and it arrived sooner than expected. By comparison, had ordered some chinos from Banana a week earlier and they only beat this by a day. Not bad considering the size difference of the boxes. Would definitely order from them again.

Love It! My son who is 12months old looks and I know he feels so comfortable in the seat. Besides all of the many great safety points which surpass the vast majority of other seats, his head never flops around or hangs forward when he falls asleep. The cloth material is soft and easily spot washes (and machine) and the plastic is much more sturdy than others. I am so glad I bought it, love this seat!
Very happy with this purchase By Holly Lopez
June 28, 2009
I am very thrilled with this booster seat. The first thing my 5 year old said when he sat in it for the first time was "Wow, this is really comfortable"! Can't get any better than that. Fits in my car nicely and is lightweight enough to move easily between cars. Would definitely recommend it to others.
Good quality By Michael Wu

"Love this design. I have now purchased change of address cards using this general design, and now address labels. Colorful and very nice!"
"I bought the matching Gift Tags and decided to buy the labels to add to my invitations. These went perfect with my child-like adults-only game night birthday party theme and a couple of people told me that they knew just from seeing the label that I was going for a very fun theme."
"The labels were perfect for the invites we ordered for my son's first birthday. I received many compliments. Great quality stickers and flawless printing. RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!"
"I used the suggested layout and font colors and the labels turned out really nicely. They arrived quickly and I have already gotten a few compliments on them!"

France seal composed win
Wales fall short despite landmark Willams double
Last Updated: 16/06/12 4:59pm
Rhys Williams: All-time leading tryscorer
Winger Rhys Williams became Wales' all-time leading try scorer after touching down twice in his side's 16-28 defeat by France on Saturday.
Williams touched down on the stroke of half-time for his 12th international try to equal the previous record held by coach Iestyn Harris.
The 22-year-old, who is currently on loan from Warrington to Castleford, grabbed his second on the hour at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham to better that mark.
Williams' eye-catching efforts were among a host of pleasing aspects for Harris, as his inexperienced side made France fight all the way for the spoils in their first mid-season international for 11 years.
In addition to their Australia-based players, the Welsh had six youngsters on debut in the absence of five injured regulars. France, meanwhile, were able to call on six regulars from Catalan Dragons.
Led by captain Jordan James, who was making his 25th appearance, the Welsh enjoyed a promising opening.
But the danger signs were there when scrum-half William Barthau wriggled over the line only for referee James Child to disallow the try for a knock-on.
The opening score came right out of a Catalan training-ground move, with full-back Cyril Stacul taking Bosc's inside pass to glide over for the first of two tries on 15 minutes.
Bosc added the goal and the visitors dominated the rest of the first half without being able to fully make their pressure count.
Second-rower Antoni Maria was held up on his back over the line and winger Jeremy Guiraud was brought back for a forward pass before loose forward Gregory Mounis took Barthau's defence-splitting pass and wrong-footed full-back David James to score his side's second try eight minutes before the interval.
Wales grabbed a foothold in the game on the stroke of half-time when they worked the ball out to the left and Williams took James' pass to go over for his first try.
That buoyed the home side, who made an impressive start to the second half, but centre Christian Roets was ruled offside when he touched down Danny Jones' kick to the line.
France re-asserted their dominance when prop Mathieu Griffi burst through for two tries in seven minutes, the second after a superb break by fellow front rower Mickael Simon.
In between Griffi's double the impressive James scythed through the visitors' defence for a deserved try and then combined with Roets to get Williams over for his record-breaking score.
Jones converted both second-half tries to make it 22-16 but the French made sure of the victory when skipper Oliver Elima broke clear and Bosc sent Stacul over for his second try and Bosc booted his fourth goal.

Eau Noire Cologne by Christian Dior
Cedar cabin, black licorice, maple syrup (in reality this is immortelle flower), herbal spices, lots of lavender, coffee, slightly smokey vanilla and leather. Dark, mysterious, sensual and spicy, this is my fall and winter holy grail. Longevity is perfect, verging on 24 hours, with sillage that is just right. Never becomes too sweet, too woody or too gourmand. I whole heartily agree that this is pretty much bottled perfection. Quite simply the finest creation by Francis Kurkdjian that I've smelled to date.

Relentless: A Novel (edition 2010)
by Dean Koontz
Work details
Relentless by Dean Koontz
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the first Koontz I have read and it was an enjoyable and super fast read. In fact, I read it all in one evening because I so wanted to see how it could possibly be resolved.
Relentlessis the story of Cubby Greenwich (famous author), his wife, Penny (famous children's book author), their son, Milo (6 yr old nicknamed Spooky for good reason), and a book critique named Shearman Waxx. Cubby has just finished a book and receives a scathing review from Waxx. It just keeps bothering him - he can't get it out of his head. It seems so unfair, and so obvious that Waxx did not even read the book. Through more luck than detective work Cubby an Waxx end up in the same restaurant...in the same bathroom...and then...
"Doom." That is the single word that Waxx speaks to Cubby and the beginning of a an altered life for the Greenwich family. Waxx is beyond a psychotic. His first contact with the family is simply wandering through the house - but the very next time there is a taser and a darkened room are involved.
The violence escalates as does the bottomless fear - especially as more of Waxx's victims turn up on the internet....a poison pen review is only the first step - you have been marked for elimination as a writer and as a human being!
So - this book creeped me out. Waxx seems to be everywhere and able to do absolutely any horror he deems necessary. But - Koontz's humor and odd, fringe details about Milo and his bizarre machine and his levitating, disappearing, grinning dog really balanced out the horror of the torture in this book. I hate reading suspense novels...they simply eat me alive.. but this was different! The conversations between Cubby and Penny and Cubby and Milo were hilarious and boring and so typical of a normal family. This was in sharp contrast to the unthinkable horror that Waxx's previous victims were subject to.
There was also another layer of bizarreness...Cubby tells the story of the night his parents were killed - through the eyes of a 6-yr-old. Creepy beyond measure and terribly interesting!
I enjoyed this escapism book. It was the perfect antidote to tech and teaching overload as we prepare to start our first day of school on Monday.
I am such a fan of Dean Koontz that I'm going to attempt any of his books. This one is pretty far out there. The main characters are so likeable that you just keep reading beacuse of them.
I always enjoy Dean Koontz's books. This one was every bit as intense as others, but contained graphic descriptions of torture that were a bit off-putting.
Marmite. Don't read all these reviews until you have finished the book.
SUMMARY: #1New York Timesbestselling master of suspense Dean Koontz delivers a mesmerizing new thriller that explores the razor-thin line between the best and worst of human natureand the anarchy simmering just beneath society's surfaceas a likeable, successful family man is drawn into a confrontation with a foe of unimaginable malice.... Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. He makes a handsome living doing what he enjoys. His wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. Together they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionately dubbed "Spooky," and a non-collie named Lassie, who's all but part of the family. So Cubby knows he shouldn't let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to himeven if it does appear in the nation's premier newspaper and is penned by the much-feared, seldom-seen critic, Shearman Waxx. Cubby knows the best thing to do is ignore the gratuitously vicious, insulting, and inaccurate comments. Penny knows it, even little Milo knows it. If Lassie could talk, she'd tell Cubby to ignore them, too. Ignore Shearman Waxx and his poison pen is just what Cubby intends to do. Until he happens to learn where the great man is taking his lunch. Cubby just wants to get a look at the mysterious recluse whose mere opinion can make or break a careeror a life. But Shearman Waxx isn't what Cubby expects; and neither is the escalating terror that follows what seemed to be an innocent encounter. For Waxx gives criticism; he doesn't take it. He has ways of dealing with those who cross him that Cubby is only beginning to fathom. Soon Cubby finds himself in a desperate struggle with a relentless sociopath, facing an inexorable assault on far more than his life. Fearless, funny, utterly compelling,Relentlessis Dean Koontz at his riveting best, an unforgettable tale of the fragile bonds that hold together all that we most cherishand of those who would tear those bonds asunder. From the Hardcover edition.
If you enjoy [Koontz's] style of thriller, Relentless won't disappoint you.
The chapters are short, the dialogue is "snappy," and still things go on forever... god-awful.
Whether you're a longtime reader of Koontz or not, if you're looking for a sci-fi novel with a good storyline, this would be it. If you're looking for a book with humor and angst, this would be it. If you're looking for the perfectly crafted novel, with a totally believable plot, this might not be it, as some parts of the tale are a bit far-fetched and the ending is a tad weak. But, overall, this is a good story and worth the time it takes to read it.

A new pediatric and dental clinic will be built at W. North Ave. and N. 29th St. by Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and the Next Door Foundation.
The two organizations broke ground Wednesday for the 7,700-square-foot facility that will open in the spring.
Children's Medical Group provides medical care to an estimated 2,000 children a year at the Next Door Foundation, as well as for those from the Metcalfe Park neighborhood, according to Children's officials.
After the new clinic is built, the pediatric clinic will move into the new building, along with the new dental center.
The dental center will start out with one dentist, one hygienist, two dental assistants and a secretary, but there will be room for an additional dentist in the future, said Lori Barbeau, medical director of the Children's Dental Center and chief of dental surgery at Children's.
"Dental care is a huge issue, especially because there are too few providers for too many children in need of care," she said.
The need is especially critical in Milwaukee County, where the latest statistics show that out of about 111,000 Medicaid eligible children in the county, 21,000 have received a dental exam, she said.
The lack of dental care also has a dramatic affect on a child's health, she said.
"Dental decay is the most chronic common infectious disease among low income children - five times more than asthma, and asthma gets a lot of publicity," she said.
Low-income children have less access to dental care, less preventive measures and less access to education, all of which contribute to a significant degree of oral health problems, she said.
"We know that chronic dental pain interferes with eating, sleeping and school performance," she said.
Although the clinic expects to serve largely Medicaid-eligible children, the reimbursement for dental care is "significantly less than private pay insurance," she said. Through various corporate foundations, funds are raised to provide the services, Barbeau said.
Children's also has received $1.5 million in pledges to pay for equipment for the new clinic, she said.

Soundstorm NF7-S on Fedora Core 4 sound problems
As the title says i am using fedora core 4 and I am having trouble with sound from my soundstorm optical out on my NF7-S. I get sound for certain apps or certain sound formats. The only format that i know works all the time is OGG, other than that i don't hear anything but if i am playing a game like quake 4, UT2k4, RTCW-ET, Americas Army the sound works perfectly. I have tried using different drivers the most up to date ones on nVidias website and the drivers from realtek. They both work the same but the nVidia drivers give better functionality with the ALSA mixer.
How do i make the optical out produce all sound formats???
If you need more info just ask.

A young New York Yankees fan was given a foul ball from a nearby fan who caught it, but promptly tossed it away during Sunday's game in the Bronx. Your browser does not support iframes. A man in the second row of the upper deck was nice enough to give the baseball he caught to a young girl sitting in front of him. The young girl thanked him by promptly tossing the ball back towards the lower deck. Fans sitting nearby were surprised, but none more than the girl's parents, not to mention the fan who gave her the ball. Looks like the lesson just isn't getting through to the kids out there: If you go to a major league baseball game and someone gives you a baseball, you keep it. Video via MLB.

36 year old man | Pittsburgh, PA, USA | Seeking women 24-38 within 20 miles
Hi Girls, I'm a positive guy who had a rough year and am looking for an awesome girl. My mom passed last Summer. In a lot of ways, she was my best friend and I miss her so much. I also had an emergency surgery this year and now have a pretty cool looking scar up my abdomen. Luckily, everything went well and as rough of a year as it's been, I have a lot to be thankful for. I have the best family and friends that mean everything to me. I have an awesome job/coworkers and I recently moved into a condo in Shadyside. I'm an active person and I'm very thankful to be able to get back to running and working out at the gym. I just ran 13 1/2 miles which has been a goal of mine for a long time... I'm ready to open the next chapter of my life and hopefully you're in it:) -Mike I've been quote happy lately and I'm really bad at describing myself so I figure I'll add some that motivate me. Enjoy:) "13.5 Mile Southside Trail Run: 2013 PR: I finished tonight because every step I took I believed I could." -Myself "I'm inspired by failure. The process of defeat – picking yourself back up again is the hardest thing in the world" -Lolo Jones "Good is not good when better is expected." - Vin Scully "Look in the mirror and ask, 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" -Steve Jobs "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." -Michael Jordan "A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one." -Chuck Norris "Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement." -Marv Levy "Well done is better than well said." -Benjamin Franklin "Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better." -Pat Riley "You will never know your limits unless you push yourself to them." -Anonymous "Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out." -John Wooden
