Recall exactly how we discussed setting up a squash page that gets e-mail addresses out of your prospect by developing an email autoresponder service using that page. If your life insurance policy was prepared within the 80′s, it might have been shown in a higher interest-rate than has been paidfor decades. As being a purchaser you get Life Insurance together with your health insurance and funds simply gives for that coverage.
- As, the utilization of cars is extremely rising, all of the people have started initially to stick with vehicle-insurance.
- For example, a person who gets $70,000 per year and purchases an insurance policy worth triple that, $210,000, entitles their beneficiaries to only five percent of this per year, $10,500.
- The insurance plan making payments for you which are tax-free after you retire is actually a huge advantage it's over the standard retirement benefit package.
By getting term life insurance, you're able to protect yourself and your family. Being performing places you in a unique class that alerts all insurance firms for the proven fact that you're high-risk. Then you can add features, for example Accidental Death coverage, Cost-Of-Living Adjustment, Return of Premium, Pet crack. One other difference is that your auto insurance prices vary with respect to the states and violations you've made, where-as living insurance rate can increase considerably the older you obtain. If you take a look at these rates www.enhancedinsurance.com/wedding-insurance/ you'll see how cost effective something like insuring your wedding can really be.
The subject of life-insurance is demoralizing enough for many people without considering what it really is. So the first thing that you might want to do in order to get life insurance leads would be to find people who you could offer them to. It's important to remember that most insurance carriers don't excuse originating new life insurance plans for the main reason for selling it for a profit as an investment. Total insurance offers the security of realizing that your family is taken care of, so long as your monthly or annual costs are paid. Or even, you can even consider getting add-on guidelines to construct your insurance policy.
This makes it possible to do a-side-by-side evaluation of various providers' promotions, helping customers identify the most viable one. Term plans would be the purest type of life insurance and less risky for life insurance companies as it is more unlikely they'll have to pay for. A huge or possibly a modest phrase insurer will soon be equally trustworthy in the moment of need.
Prices aren't sufficient as it can certainly be misleading since what the policy may not be everything you are searching for. Additionally you have to be sure you have a look at what kind of address you are finding, in terms of when the plan can pay out when you're going to surrender your cover. Firms look for key elements while in the insurer's health, lifestyle, and heritage to make sure and determine what budget range type they'll come under. Things like a new top for your property, new heater, new vehicle or new appliances. If you are simply concerned with paying the loan, then only get yourself a term life insurance or perhaps a regular premium term insurance.
Therefore, get yourself using Long-term care insurance and reap the benefits of the plan through your immediate financial need. Under these circumstances critical illness insurance is turned out to be a valuable supplement for your health insurance. Therefore, David's residence, his 401K and the life insurance cash are typical non-probate property and therefore are transferred directly to Mary – without probate. In case of the death, your household will eliminate their financial support especially if you are the major bread-winner of your family. For sure that folks that are overweight larger odds of struggling with many major health issues.
After obtaining the rates you are able to focus on a risk evaluation before making the ultimate determination. Mixup your communications between information in which you are NOT selling and content by which you're marketing. You'll find several rules on plan purchases, while state rules restrict a domestic plan's opportunities. Receivers reference individuals designated to get inheritance property.

Every Kansas City Chiefs fan has an opinion about just exactly why the team is not playing at their ability level.
Every Kansas City Chiefs fan has an opinion about just exactly why the team is not playing at their ability level.
Many blame poor defensive performance while others cite below-average quarterback play. Most fans have soured on the offensive line and believe the skill players are also under-performing.
However, my main beef is that the team overall plays with no attitude. They appear to just go through the motions with little intensity and absolutely NO fire in the belly!
I was a big supporter of coach Romeo Crennel as a replacement for Todd Haley, who presented himself to the team and public as an egomaniac. It doesn't appear that Crennel is able to hit the players' hot buttons. That isn't an excuse for the lackluster play.
At the professional level, the players should have enough pride to play at a high level. The Chiefs of the of the '60s and early '70s under Hank Stram and the "Martyball" days of the '80s and '90s flat out brought it every Sunday. Now it seems they only bring enough to draw their next paycheck.
The current Chiefs regime has reduced the best fan base in the NFL to an all-time low. In the past, Chiefs fans would always love the process at Arrowhead Stadium on Sundays – win or lose. Now they begin the exodus during the third quarter and the afternoon buzz is difficult to listen to.
Lamar Hunt and Carl Peterson promoted the team and gave the fans a team experience to live and die for. The new bottom line approach combined with the New England game plan give local fans a team that they just can't stomach.
The entire Kansas City Chiefs experience is losing its identity. Arrowhead was once famous for its loud crowd and electricity. The only requirement for those fans to be loyal and rock is for the team to return to its former level of effort and attitude. A business-only attitude will not cut it. The leaders need to abandon their East Coast mind-set and return the team to its Midwestern roots.
* If baseball season spanned only August and September, the Royals would be playoff contenders every year.
* Whether or not you are a fan of coach Bill Snyder, you have to admit he does an amazing job at Kansas State. Snyder has no difficulty putting fire in the belly of HIS young players!
* My quote this week is from the best NFL Hall of Fame player, Jim Brown: "One thing I learned in football is that you must have respect. It is not so important that people like you, but it is an absolute must that you have their respect."

The U.S. is shooting itself in the foot with respect to the debate over debt reduction, says Alan Blinder, a professor of economics at Princeton University and a former Fed vice-chairman. Even considering default is a "ridiculous debate" that could lead to a downgrade of U.S. debt, he tells the Journal's E.S. Browning. Read more on our MarketBeat blog.

Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova speaks to reporters last August at the Hale Center.
- Filed Under
If, as Gary Nova said Thursday afternoon, the 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl "feels like yesterday," then the Rutgers football team's quarterback must have woken up on the day he reported to training camp feeling as if he endured enough dreams and nightmares in one night's sleep to last a full eight months.
The nightmares came first as Nova's ineffectiveness in the season-ending loss to Virginia Tech was dissected both nationally by sports pundits taking shots on social media and locally by perplexed fans calling for a look at backup Chas Dodd - and they did not really end until the first day of ...

Children's book author Audrey Wood was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on August 12th, 1948. When she was a toddler, she would watch her father repaint murals for the Ringling Brothers Circus in Florida. In fact, many of the circus performers grew to be her friends. She can remember being rocked in the arms of the fat lady and sitting in the lap of the world's tallest man when she was a kid!
Both Audrey Wood's father and grandfather were artists and by first grade she decided to become one too! By fourth grade she wanted to become a children's book author. Audrey Wood painted, danced, acted, and played music as a child. She and her sisters put on plays for their neighbors and friends in their basement and charged 25 cents for each person who came to the show! Dr. Seuss is her favorite author. She once got into trouble in school for crossing out his name on a book and putting her own in its place!
In 1969, Audrey Wood married Don Wood. He is also a children's book author and illustrator. They have written many books together; you will see some of these below. It wasn't until her son, Bruce, was born that Wood decided to pursue her goal to become a children's author. Since then she has become quite a successful one!

The history of the Science Fair dates back to the 1950s when students first began displaying projects with scientific themes for judging. Today, Science Fairs are international events with thousands of kids participating from around the world.
I spoke with Kids' Science Lady, Gayle Olson about the importance of Science Fairs, and how you can make them a rewarding, fun experience.
What is the benefit of participating in a Science Fair?
You never know what spark of genius will be inspired by a science fair
project. Your investigation and study could lead to an interest and passion
about your project that can carry on for many years. Discovery is fun and
exciting, your science fair project will teach you more about science and
the scientific method, you'll be able to exercise and build upon your
research techniques, build self-confidence, learn how to follow step-by-step
directions, learn about cause and effect and how things work. If you are
making charts, drawing illustrations, constructing models, or taking
pictures for your project you will build upon these skills. Finally when
your project is completed, what could be better than the feeling and
satisfaction of completion!
How do you get started?
First you need to decide on a topic for your project. Each project answers
a question. Think about a question you where REALLY would like to know the
answer. It doesn't need to be complicated. Some of the best projects come
from simple beginnings. Pick a topic that really interests you and that you
will enjoy doing. One of the biggest mistakes is choosing something you
feel is boring or that you know nothing about. For example if you love

Record your results.
Record your conclusions.
Many science fair projects can take weeks or months so make sure to plan
your time well! Never leave anything until the last minute!
It's a terrific idea to involve your parents in your science fair project as
long as they remember this is YOUR project and not that of your parents. In
fact, if the judges think that your parent helped too much you could lose
points and it could affect your final grade! Some of the ways your parents
can be involved includes:
Give advice and suggestions for topics and brainstorm ideas, although
the final decision should always be your own.
Offer emotional support, sometimes you could get frustrated and parents
come in very handy when you need it most!
Help you plan your time and help you to set up a schedule.
Point out the rules of the scientific method as your project develops.
Supervise web searches, library research (and drive you to the library
or other places you need to go).
Give advice about plagiarism and copyright issues.
Help you to buy or collect the tools and equipment you need.
Oversee safety issues.
There are many terrific sources online for science fair projects, some help
you come up with topics, others provide step-by-step resources to help you
plan your schedule, and others provide examples of completed projects
(remember you are not to COPY other completed projects, that would be
plagiarism) but, completed projects by others can help you come up with your
own ideas.

COVENTRY— Members of the Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society (WRICHS) were thrilled to have employees of a Providence companyvolunteering their time at the Paine House on Friday morning as a way to help out non-profits throughout the state.
Society member Norma Smith explained that the WRICHS found the company, R&D Simulia, on the Preserve Rhode Island listserv.
"They came up and this company apparently does volunteer work one day a year so we responded to the ad," she explained.
Smith said the society was never aware that companies did this type of community service and "that's one of the good things about Preserve Rhode Island, we're being made aware of different grants and projects."
David Duke, Simulation Apps QA Manager for Simulia, said although they are a "software company" that offers "3D experience through realistic simulation," they take time out of their schedule one day a year to help non-profit organizations throughout the country.
He said this year; the company is assisting 30 different organizations. It first began with a small group within R&D who wanted to partake in some community service but "now it's actually a lot of the other offices in other states that started doing it as well."
"This is a good thing because it's nice to help out and they were very thankful for the help," he added. "It's a really good program."
Brenda Titus, president of the society, explained that 11 volunteers spent their morning, from 8:30 to 12:30, at the Paine House, located at 7 Station St., doing various projects.
"This is hours and hours of labor that we probably wouldn't have gotten done because we have a small membership," she excitedly stated. "We're so thrilled to have people here."

Re: The Blaze on Direct TVtexasbrit Oct 12, 2013 3:16 PM (in response to ozarkmommy)
Just because you want a channel does not mean DirecTV will add it. The decision to add a channel depends on all sorts of things:
the demand for the channel
whether there is available bandwidth for the channel (often there isn't)
how much additional equipment DirecTV has to add
what sort of deal the channel wants
Re: The Blaze on Direct TVphantom924 Dec 16, 2014 6:27 PM (in response to texasbrit)
So why would they carry Al Jezzera? Might as well carry Russia today so we can get all the propaganda instead of news that we can use. Besides Dish thought it was good enough to carry the Blaze. They should put out a survey to see if it is something that the viewers would like to see.
Re: The Blaze on Direct TVtexasbrit Dec 16, 2014 7:41 PM (in response to phantom924)
they carry Al Jezeerra because DirecTV had a contract with a channel called Current, and they sold their rights to Al Jezeera. Although DirecTv is not very happy about it, see http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/directvs-super-secret-lawsuit-al-747493
And as far as the Blaze is concerned, the rumor is that the channel is asking DirecTv to pay too much to carry the programming. It's certainly not free.
Re: The Blaze on Direct TVlitzdog911 Dec 16, 2014 7:54 PM (in response to phantom924)
You realize you're responding to a thread that's more than a year old? Of course DirecTV is constantly surveying customers about channel choices as part of their ongoing contract negotiations with the stations and networks. Be sure to email your thoughts directly to DirecTV because they won't see them here.
Re: The Blaze on Direct TVdcd Oct 13, 2013 6:26 AM (in response to ozarkmommy)
Directv has 30 million customers, yes, 30 million. If you were in charge of allocating the limited number of transponders available on the satellites, would you quick add ever channel requested?

Paper and candles caused a Sept. 19, fire at a house on Carlton Street in Nixa. Firefighters arrived less than four minutes after a family called to report a house fire. The family escaped unharmed.
- Filed Under
This week is Fire Prevention Week, with the theme of "Have 2 Ways Out."
The Ozark Fire District wants to remind everyone to have two ways out of every room in your home.
The reality is that when fire strikes, your home could be engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes, so it's important to have a home fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds.
If there is ever a fire and your first way out is blocked by smoke or flames, you need to use your second way out. That's why having two ways out is a key part of your fire escape plan.
So this year's theme, "Have 2 Ways Out!" focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.
So kids, get with your parents and when the smoke alarm sounds, practice two ways out of your home.
From all the firefighters with the Ozark Fire District, "be fire safe."

November 28, 2015
SEBREE, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky State Police troopers are warning of a possible scam involving a caller offering money because of a medical problem.
Trooper Stu Recke says person contacted troopers in Madisonville after getting a call from Louisiana over the weekend. Recke says a male caller stated that they were going to send the potential victim money from a pharmaceutical company because of faulty mesh from a surgery many years ago.
When the potential victim advised that they had not had surgery, Recke says, the caller stated that it was due to taking anti-depressant drugs related to pregnancy.
After being questioned about the source of their information, the caller from Louisiana responded it came from the Kentucky Department of Health.
Recke says there's been only one report of the call in western Kentucky.

Kobe Bryant Sued by Ohio Woman for Breaching Marriage Proposal
Categories: Breaking News, Crime-iny, Moxley, Sports
In a bizarre June 24 lawsuit filed in Orange County Superior Court, Selina Miller--who lists addresses in both Santa Ana and Columbus, Ohio--claims that on May 1, Bryant gave her "a completed and signed agreement" and that his subsequent behavior "comports with unfair business and no good faith efforts."
"The plaintiff, Selina Miller, request [sic] breaching party, Kobe Bryant, to correct his failure to provide plaintiff with the purchase of a ring," reads the four-page suit.
Miller also stated why the National Basketball Association (NBA) superstar might not have given her a ring: "The defendant, Kobe Bryant, states he communicated with person [sic] stating Selina Miller is a prostitute."
Reached by telephone, Miller claimed that Bryant has repeatedly visited her for intimate relations.
"He likes playing games with women more than people know," said Miller. "I'm upset because he promised me a ring [during one visit], and then some other people influenced him, and I didn't get it. He thinks he can stop by my house any time he wants to. There are other women, too. One of them got a ring."
She also mentioned that someone--it's unclear who, exactly--"has a sexual transmitted disease."
In her lawsuit, Miller claimed that in the "original . . . contractual agreement" made by Bryant, he thought the "plaintiff's business name [was] Sulina Moler."
The case, which has been assigned to Orange County Judge Steven L. Perk, cost Miller $400 to file, according to court records.
In 2009, a federal judge in Ohio dismissed Miller's previous defamation and invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed against Bryant and the NBA as "frivolous" and "not plausible."
Explained Miller about her new case, "I wanted to sue Kobe for some money he owes me."
Bryant, who lives with his family in a multimillion-dollar Newport Coast estate, could not be reached for comment.

|Limits to sustained energy intake. XI. A test of the heat dissipation limitation hypothesis in lactating Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19837887 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The maximum rate of sustained energy intake (SusEI) may limit reproductive effort, thermoregulatory capability and other aspects of an animal's energy expenditure. Consequently, factors that limit SusEI are of interest. The ;heat dissipation limitation hypothesis' suggests that maximum SusEI during lactation is limited by the capacity to dissipate body heat generated as a by-product of processing food and producing milk. In the present study, we tested the heat dissipation limitation hypothesis in lactating Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii). Female voles were mated and pregnant at 21(+/-1) degrees C. A random sample of animals was transferred into a hot room 30(+/-1) degrees C on the day of parturition. The energy intake of lactating voles at 30 degrees C was always lower than that at 21 degrees C. At peak lactation food intake was 3.3 g day(-1) lower at 30 degrees C than at 21 degrees C. There was no significant difference in digestibility. With similar mean litter sizes (7.26+/-0.46 pups at 21 degrees C and 7.78+/-0.39 pups at 30 degrees C at the beginning of parturition, 6.83+/-0.51 pups at 21 degrees C and 7.73+/-0.50 pups at 30 degrees C at weaning), the milk energy output of mothers, evaluated from the difference between metabolizable energy intake and daily energy expenditure measured by doubly labelled water, at 30 degrees C was 23.3 kJ day(-1) lower than that at 21 degrees C on days 14-16 of lactation. As for reproductive performance, there was a difference in the response to the higher temperature between mothers raising large and those raising small litters. For small litters (<7) there was no significant change in litter mass, but for large litters (<or=7) there was a significant decrease at the higher temperature. On average, in larger litters the pups were 15.5 g heavier on day 12 of lactation when raised at 21 degrees C. Our data from Brandt's voles support the suggestion that SusEI at peak lactation is limited by heat dissipation capacity, particularly for those voles raising large litters. In smaller litters the peripheral limitation hypothesis may be more relevant. The importance of heat dissipation limits in species raising exclusively small litters needs to be investigated.

Cultural Voyeurism
In yesterday's Office Chatter round-up, we mentioned a Top 10 list of popular China blogs. It was compiled by China Whisper, whose editors could spend a little more time designing their website rather than making yet another list.
Before digging into the entrants, I should also mention that the parameters of the list were somewhat dubious (if you care about such a thing [Editor's note: It is somewhat of an arbitrary point.]): "I have compiled the data of the blogs in China by considering or analyzing their Alex rankings, comments and public praises." First, he probably meant "Alexa Ratings," which are certainly a good measure of web traffic. Looking at the number of comments a site receives is also a good indication of popularity. Finally, there is "public praises," which means… what? I certainly don't know. I am even more curious which one of these parameters helped launch China Whisper into the #10 spot.
Now that I am done being a jerk [Editor's note: Finally.], let's get to the list's content. Seven out of the ten sites could be categorized under the "cultural voyeurism" tag: 1. chinaSMACK, 2. Shanghaiist (Full discretion: I am a former contributor), 3. ChinaHush, 6. Ministry of Tofu, 8. Tea Leaf Nation, 9. China Buzz, and 10. Chinawhisper. Of the three remaining, 4. Huff Post China could certainly fall under that umbrella depending on the major news story of the day; 5. China Digital Times is a serious news outlet; and 7. Lost Laowai is an expat community website.
What is "cultural voyeurism?" I actually picked up on that particular phrase from chinaSMACK. When launching their latest sister site, indoBOOM, the founder, a multi-lingual Shanghainese woman, said this about its origination, "I very soon had another purpose: To share with foreign friends who cannot understand Chinese some stories, pictures, and videos that ordinary Chinese netizens see and talk about. I have previously said this is a kind of 'cultural voyeurism', because I want to let my readers see what Chinese people think and say on Chinese websites, discussion forums, and social networks. What are Chinese people really paying attention to? What are their reactions and opinions in front of each other instead of in front of outsiders? About this issue? About that incident? About others? About themselves?"
The idea of cultural voyeurism has been around since early explorers began travel writing. Simply put: exotic (or "other" for that matter) places are interesting. People want a glimpse into other cultures. It took on a whole new form with the advent of reality TV in the '90s, which made celebrities out of neighbors. Today, you don't have to travel or even turn on the television to spy on someone else or their culture. The entire premise of social media is to showcase yourself. Curious voyeurs just have to log-on.
Sites like chinaSMACK use the popularity of such voyeurism and apply it to a Chinese population stumbling through their online adolescence. I get why this makes for addictive reading ("Chubby Taiwanese Teen Competes in Body-Building Competition"), but it also creates a particular film through which unknowledgeable readers will mistakenly understand the country. It would be like contemplating the U.S. through TMZ alone. To put it lightly: it's an incomplete, skewed and, frankly, lazy interpretation.
Also on this spectrum is a site like Tea Leaf Nation. They use a very similar process ("to let my readers see what Chinese people think and say on Chinese websites, discussion forums, and social networks"), but with a sharper eye towards context and without the crutch of sensation. To be fair, they do offer candy as well ("Chinese Singer's Romance with 12-year-old Girl has Older Women Asking: Where's My Man?"), but it is bookended by substance ("Weibo Rumor Watch: Did a Village Head Offer to Pay Villagers to Terrorize Someone's Home?" and "In China, Outsourcing of Public Power Provokes Outcry").
It's hard to call either side more in the "right" or "wrong," since it is a matter of taste. [Editor's note: We obviously know what side you are on.] Tea Leaf Nation, however, is offering more a service than chinaSMACK does. The former provides cultural insight (yes, attained voyeuristically) while the latter is closer to culture porn ("E-Cup Hotties Feed Men Shaved Ice at Taiwan Furniture Expo"). Both types of sites are expanding and are frequently used as reference points for foreign media, but there is probably a reason why TLN recently partnered with The Atlantic to further improve their editorial content while chinaSMACK copies its loose framework in other Asian countries.
Maybe I am just a prude though. What do you think? Which do you prefer?

"I just got requests for 500 tickets for Hollywood," he said. "And I've only got 300 available."
That was Bruce's biggest problem. He had to find 200 extra tickets for the Stanley Cup Final for Hollywood stars. It was an unbelievable time to be part of the Los Angeles Kings. Every night, there were stars all over the place. President Reagan and his wife Nancy were at all of our games and they were in the dressing room after the game meeting the players. After a game, I would walk into the dressing room and Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn would be in my office with Goldie's daughter Kate Hudson, who was just 14 then. The dressing room would always be full of Hollywood stars wanting to meet the players, outside limos would be lined up along the Forum to pick up guys at the Forum Club after the game, and the Forum Club was just a who's who of Hollywood stars. James Woods, was a big hockey fan and he was at all the games. Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight was a huge hockey fan and she was always there both in the regular season and the playoffs. During the Final that year the Forum was the place to be, the place to go and the place to be seen at.
Kings advance to Cup Final with OT winBy Corey Masisak - NHL.com Staff Writer
Dustin Penner scored at 17:42 of overtime to give the Kings a 4-3 victory against the Coyotes, completing a five-game triumph in the Western Conference Finals and putting them into the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1993. READ MORE ›
The Kings were huge and I don't think it's just because they were winning. It's because Gretzky was there. When you have Gretzky involved in anything it magnifies everything and he hadn't been in a Stanley Cup Final in a while at that point. That was why he came to L.A. He came to win a Stanley Cup and he did everything he possibly could to make it happen. He's come out and said that Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against Toronto, in which he scored a hat trick to send the Kings to their first ever Stanley Cup Final, was the best game he's ever played in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
That was a year when the matchup, partially because of Gretzky, produced so many stories. You had the process of the Kings acquiring Gretzky finally culminating in a berth in the Cup Final, you had Gretzky against the greatest franchise in NHL history, you had Luc Robitaille, a French-Canadian kid playing against Montreal in the Final, which is a dream for any kid who grew up playing hockey in Quebec and you also had McNall, who was arguably the most powerful owner in the NHL at the time. He was the Board of Governors President, he was spending more money than anyone else in the NHL, getting the NHL on the front page more than anyone else and he could just promote the game better than anyone else. Bruce was the perfect owner for that team at that time.
It was like it had been written in a script. It was like a movie.
But even beyond the star power on the team and the star culture, it was also a special time for the every day Kings fan. This is a team that's been in L.A. since 1967 and never won a Stanley Cup -- and at that point had never been to the Final. There is a great group of hockey fans in L.A. that has been there since Day 1 and this was a special moment for them. Sure, a lot of people were bandwagon jumpers, but that's going to happen in any city. It'll happen in New York, too. People go to Rangers games that have never been to Rangers games. I got a sense of what it meant to the fans because L.A. is a huge place, but the hockey community there is a small community, and a number of fans come to charity events that the team has put on for years to meet players and coaches. You get to know the fans that have been there a long time. The fans have a chance to meet you and talk to you and air their grievances and tell you what's wrong with the team, but also what's right with the team.
Now that this team is reaching the same heights that that team did in 1993, you're really starting to see a lot of the same excitement in the city. I've been doing a lot of interviews from L.A. recently because of this team. Last week I was on Dennis Miller's show, and he's a big hockey fan. He had me on and he was talking about how the city was. When I do interviews with the L.A. Media now, they're all talking about how crazy the city is and how everyone is jumping on the Kings bandwagon.
There are a number of ways that this team has reminded me of the 1993 club, and it's very easy to see parallels and get nostalgic. These Kings were the last seed in the West and mine had to fight an uphill battle get this far, too. We played well in the last month of the season and came into the playoffs ona high note, but we played Calgary first and no one gave us a chance against Calgary, a lot like these Kings against Vancouver. We beat Vancouver in the second round when no one said we could beat them like these Kings beat St. Louis. We also didn't have home ice throughout the playoffs, and we had some young guys grabbing attention like Rob Blake and Darryl Sydor and Alexei Zhitnik, whereas on this team Doughty, Brown and Kopitar are having a coming out party.
There are a number of things about this team that really bring you back to that team in 1993, but this group has a real chance to take that next step and win it all and get a place all their own in Kings history. There's no doubt that it's an exciting time again to be a Kings fan and to be in L.A. The energy will be there, the craziness in the city will be there and of course the stars will be there.
I have no doubt the Kings ownership is going to be dealing with the same kinds of problems Bruce had to deal with 19 years ago.

Battery woes: Apple and more Dell
updated 10:15 am EDT, Tue August 1, 2006
The lithium-ion batteries that power laptops have been coming under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks. MacNN reports Apple has announced a battery exchange program for 15-inch MacBook Pros with specific battery models, saying that they do not meet the company's "high standards for battery performance." It's unclear as to whether the recall was prompted by news of inflating MacBook Pro batteries. Regardless, affected owners can get a free exchange through Apple's support website. Users on the other side of the computing fence are faring even worse: the Sydney Morning Herald claims that Dell battery fires are more common than was previously thought, and highlights the story of an Illinois man whose Latitude D410 battery caught fire just last week, effectively destroying the system. Dell issued a battery recall in December: it appears that the manufacturer's troubles aren't over yet.

First punch doesn't win. Last one does.
A jab to the body by Karl Benson. Then a roundhouse hook to the head by Craig Thompson.
Game over.
Mountain West wins again.
And this may have been a death blow to the Western Athletic Conference.
It might linger a while with some replacements from the low minors. But the WAC's guts are now officially spilled with the double-whammy loss of Fresno State and Nevada to the Mountain West, following Boise State's departure.
Hawaii -- victim of geography, as well as football and basketball teams that have lost more than they've won recently -- will be left with this motley crew: Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State and Utah State.
Ugh. They'll be in the shadow of the Sun Belt.
Well, the bright side for UH is it should have no problem dominating the league in a few sports, including football. But if commissioner Benson doesn't find some new schools there will be no WAC.
It's a sad day when the Mid-American Conference passes you on the pecking order without even doing a thing.
YESTERDAY BEGAN with such promise and potential. Indicators pointed toward Brigham Young partially returning to the WAC, bringing everything but football, which would go independent.
Sure, this didn't sit well with some UH fans, since the Cougars were among those who broke away from the WAC in 1999. But, hey, we're talking conference survival, and BYU was about to bring Dead League Walking back to life.
But folks around here have been Charlie Brown getting ready to kick the ball with Lucy holding it enough times to know better, or to at least suspect that there was more to this and it wouldn't be good for the WAC.
Lately, we find ourselves double and triple checking anytime it's said something might be positive.
And, yes, it didn't take long for this TD to be called back.
The counter strike was swift and devastating.
The Mountain West swung back by sweetening its previous offer to Fresno State and Nevada with the equivalent of handling moving expenses for a new employee. In this case it's $5 million each, the penalty for leaving the WAC.
The Bulldogs and Wolf Pack accepted quickly, making the WAC a much less attractive destination for BYU. And since the Cougars had never publicly acknowledged a desire to move, all they had to do was keep their mouths shut and cancel a press conference that never officially existed in the first place.
The turn of events turned athletic director Jim Donovan's stomach, as it should that of anyone else who cares about UH.
So, does Donovan work to patch this sinking ship or bust out that emergency independence plan?
Benson's a nice guy in my book, so I really hoped that this BYU thing would work out for his sake, too. I suggested to someone that maybe it would earn him a 15-minute cease-fire from the constant barrage of criticism he receives for not being "proactive."
I didn't mean exactly 15 minutes.
IT SEEMS like a lifetime ago when the league promoted itself with that poster featuring Colt Brennan and Ian Johnson in 2007, doesn't it? In less than three years, the WAC's gone from BCS busters to FCS recruiters. Aloha, Boise State, Fresno State, Nevada. Make room for Cal Poly, UC Davis and Sac State -- if you're lucky.
Benson looked like a creative genius in the morning. Before lunch, he'd become a guy who brought a box of checkers to a chess match.
Last night some wishful thinkers held out hope BYU would stay the course, and New Mexico and San Diego State would tag along to return to the WAC. But it seems more likely the Cougars did a little flirting to make the significant other more appreciative; and that doesn't hurt anyone ... except for the insignificant flirtee.
Twelve years ago, Karl Benson and the expendables got false-cracked. This time he got a punch in, but the result might be worse.

do I get started doing yoga?
does the word YOGA mean?
word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient
India where yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring
between the mind, body and spirit.
I love yoga. Does this make me a hippy?
Once upon a time, yoga outside of India was most often done on communes
by vegetarians. Although yoga comes by this reputation honestly,
these days everyone from doctors to CEOs is embracing it. So, no,
yoga will not make you a hippy. But it can perhaps begin to tinge
your everyday life with an attitude of peace and kindness.
Why Buy a Yoga Mat?
Yoga mats (also called sticky mats) are used in most yoga classes
to provide cushioning and traction. While you can usually borrow
a mat at a yoga studio, it's a good idea to have your own. It makes
sense financially, since mats can be bought for as little as $20.
Don't feel like you should wait and see if you really stick with
this yoga thing before making the plunge to mat ownership. With
prices this low, your commitment shouldn't play in to your decision,
but your feelings about other people's sweat should. You will also
need a mat if you plan to do any yoga at home.
does "Namaste" mean?
The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine
spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The
gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another.
"Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te"
means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow me you"
or "I bow to you."
What does Om mean?
Om is a mantra, or vibration, that is traditionally chanted at the
beginning and end of yoga sessions. It is said to be the sound of
the universe. What does that mean?
Somehow the ancient yogis knew what scientists today are telling
us–that the entire universe is moving. Nothing is ever solid
or still. Everything that exists pulsates, creating a rhythmic vibration
that the ancient yogis acknowledged with the sound of Om. We may
not always be aware of this sound in our daily lives, but we can
hear it in the rustling of the autumn leaves, the waves on the shore,
the inside of a seashell.
Chanting Om allows us to recognize our experience as a reflection
of how the whole universe moves–the setting sun, the rising
moon, the ebb and flow of the tides, the beating of our hearts.
As we chant Om, it takes us for a ride on this universal movement,
through our breath, our awareness, and our physical energy, and
we begin to sense a bigger connection that is both uplifting and
How many times per week should I practice?
Yoga is amazing–even if you only practice for one hour a week,
you will experience the benefits of the practice. If you can do
more than that, you will certainly experience more benefits. I suggest
starting with two or three times a week, for an hour or an hour
and a half each time. If you can only do 20 minutes per session,
that's fine too. Don't let time constraints or unrealistic goals
be an obstacle–do what you can and don't worry about it. You
will likely find that after awhile your desire to practice expands
naturally and you will find yourself doing more and more.
How is yoga different from stretching or other kinds
of fitness?
Unlike stretching or fitness, yoga is more than just physical postures.
Even within the physical practice, yoga is unique because we connect
the movement of the body and the fluctuations of the mind to the
rhythm of our breath. Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps
us to direct our attention inward. Through this process of inward
attention, we learn to recognize our habitual thought patterns without
labeling them, judging them, or trying to change them. We become
more aware of our experiences from moment to moment. The awareness
that we cultivate is what makes yoga a practice, rather than a task
or a goal to be completed. Your body will most likely become much
more flexible by doing yoga, and so will your mind.
Is yoga a religion?
Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy that began in India an
estimated 5,000 years ago. The father of classical ashtanga yoga
is said to be Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutra. These scriptures
provide a framework for spiritual growth and mastery over the physical
and mental body. Yoga sometimes interweaves other philosophies such
as Hinduism or Buddhism, but it is not necessary to study those
paths in order to practice or study yoga. It is also not necessary
to surrender your own religious beliefs to practice yoga.
I'm not flexible–can I do yoga?
Yes! You are a perfect candidate for yoga. Many people think that
they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that's a little bit
like thinking that you need to be able to play tennis in order to
take tennis lessons. Come as you are and you will find that yoga
practice will help you become more flexible. This newfound agility
will be balanced by strength, coordination, and enhanced cardiovascular
health, as well as a sense of physical confidence and overall well-being.
Why are you supposed to refrain from eating two to three
hours before class?
In yoga practice we twist from side to side, turn upside down, and
bend forward and backward. If you have not fully digested your last
meal, it will make itself known to you in ways that are not comfortable.
If you are a person with a fast-acting digestive system and are
afraid you might get hungry or feel weak during yoga class, experiment
with a light snack such as yogurt, a few nuts, or juice about 30
minutes to an hour before class.
Will yoga help me to lose weight?
Doing yoga regularly can make you feel better about your body as
you become stronger and more flexible, tone your muscles, reduce
stress, and improve your mental and physical well-being. But will
it help you lose weight? The distressing that Yoga does so well also hugely effects stress hormones like cortisol and in that restore proper metabolism and directly affects weight loss. Practicing any type of yoga will build
strength, but some types may not raise your heart rate enough to
make them the only form of exercise you need to include in your
weight loss regime. It depends on the type of yoga you select and
how frequently you practice it. Appropriate classes to help you:
What about doing yoga with back problems?
We recommend that you begin slowly to orient your body to a new
way of exercising that will not lead to or exacerbate injury as
may have been the case with your previous experience. Many have
been helped by using a Pelvic Inversion Swing. This is a device
which allows one to hang upside down and thus create space between
the vertebrae in the back. The best advice for those with back problems
doing yoga is this:
1. Listen carefully to your body
2. Find an experienced teacher and appropriate class for guidance.
What is Pranayama?
Pranayama is loosely translated as prana or breath control. The
ancient yogis developed many breathing techniques to maximize the
benefits of prana. Pranayama is used in yoga as a separate practice
to help clear and cleanse the body and mind. It is also used in
preparation for meditation, and in asana,the practice of postures,
to help maximize the benefits of the practice, and focus the mind.
and Don'ts of Good Yoga Etiquette
These rules of good yoga etiquette will help you feel comfortable
when entering an unfamiliar setting. They are based on common sense
and courtesy, but deal with some issues that are specific to yoga
classes and studios.
1. Remove Your Shoes
Many yoga studios have a place for your shoes right by the door.
Since people will be walking around the studio barefoot, it is most
hygienic if everyone takes off their outdoor shoes first thing.
2. Turn Off Your Cell Phone
Make a habit of doing this as soon as you get to the yoga studio.
You will be quite embarrassed if your phone rings during class!
3. Arrive On Time
Arrive at least 10 minutes before the class is scheduled to start.
If you do arrive late, don't enter a class more than 10 minutes
late if it has already started. Wait for the next class or another
4. Respect the Teacher
When you enter a yoga class, you sign on to respect the teacher
for the next hour and a half. You may discover half way through
that you don't care for this teacher/style/hour of the day, but
you still should continue on through the class, follow the teacher's
instructions, take your Savasana, and chalk it up to experience.
5. Variations Etiquette
Keep in mind the level of the class you are attending. If it is
an advanced class and some of the poses are too hard, it is perfectly
all right to take a more basic variation of the poses being taught.
Usually the teacher will give voice to this option. If you are attending
a basic class, the best etiquette is to stick to the basic versions
of the poses, so that you don't confuse new students. The teacher
will offer you the option to take a more advanced variation when
that is appropriate.
6. Can I Go to the Bathroom?
It is perfectly all right to leave class for a few minutes to go
to the bathroom. There is no need to ask the teacher's permission.
The best time to go is when there is a period of rest, either in
Child's Pose or Downward Dog. You will not earn your teacher's respect
if you routinely dodge out during difficult poses or skip part of
7. Don't Skip Savasana!
Your final relaxation in Savasana is a very important part of your
practice. Don't plan to leave class early. If you must, tell the
teacher in advance and take a short Savasana before you go. Don't
make a habit of this!

Broomfield police say story of boy's attempted abduction was talse
BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Broomfield Police said Friday evening that the reported attempted abduction of a 16-year-old boy was a hoax.
Earlier, police said they were increasing patrols in the area where the boy said two men demanded he get into a car and then chased him when he jumped out.
The boy told police that he walking in the area of McKay Landing Parkway and Zuni Street at about 3:15 p.m. Thursday when a black, older model BMW sedan pulled alongside him. A man in the front passenger seat asked the teen to get into the car, the boy originally said.
When the boy refused, the man demanded he get in the car. Then the front-seat passenger and a man from the backseat got out of the car and came after the boy, he told police.
The boy ran away and escaped, he told police.
On Friday evening, Broomfield police issued an update to their original report that said their investigation throughout the day on Friday determined the boy's report to be false. They did not say if any charges would be filed in the case, as a result.

One of the many things I love about racing is that it is pure and simple. Run from point A to point B as quickly as you can, that's it. Not so much with other sports. While I don't follow basketball, I heard a lot about the recent NBA Finals on sports radio and, often times, there was a discussion on calling fouls and other violations. Were the calls deserved? Were some players getting preferential treatment? Did the call have an impact on the outcome of the game? Very rarely do you hear of questionable calls during races, even at the elite level. However, I do think there are some unwritten codes of the road that occasionally get violated and was wondering what your take is.
An example is running on a sidewalk during a road race. This past weekend I ran a 5K and the woman in front of me jumped onto the sidewalk before the last turn of the race. There was some oncoming car traffic and my guess is she did that to give her some extra room; however I was right behind her and felt the traffic was giving us a wide enough berth, so I stayed on the road. It bothered me a little, but perhaps her perception and past experience led her to believe it was unsafe. I've seen people do it in other races for the sole reason of just cutting a corner and it really irritates me, even though it's just an advantage of a few feet. The only time I think it's OK to be on the sidewalk is 1.) at the beginning of a race if you're trying to get around slower runners/walkers who lined up where they should not have or 2.) safety issues like avoiding road hazards or cars.
Some other unwritten codes I've heard people complain about are:
I don't have a problem with any of them except passing someone and then slowing down. That's just unsafe and it's not a good racing strategy. If you can't maintain the pace, why are you exerting energy to pass someone?
What about you? What do other runners do during a race that makes you want to throw a yellow flag and blow a whistle?
There was one race in which a kid burst out to a full sprint in front of me. He then stopped and turned around when one of his parents was telling him to wait for them. I nearly ran into him. Totally unexpected. Grr.
At my most recent 5k (I wasn't trying to PR) a guy went flying by me at the finish line and proceeded to run into the camera/cameraman at the finish line. AWARE much???
Life's a little better when we run.
Trail runs on single track where the DB behind me was so close he kept clipping my heals. I finally pulled up and told him to get past me. He said he didn't want to because I was running a good pace. I said he didn't have a choice because I wasn't moving till he was in front of me. Moron.
Oh yeah..that thing about the NBA Finals is true. My Spurs got screwed over.
We should definitely enforce rules for running, like a handbook or something.
It's not running, it's aggressive power-walking!!!!!
5k PR- 28:xx
I don't like when young kids speed around you and then come to a complete stop right in front of you without pulling over to the side of the road. It's so dangerous to all involved.
Running = Happiness
If using the sidewalk to cut corners, its not acceptable, but I have used the sidewalk in an effort to get around slower runners at the start of the race.
I'm with you on everything else. Drafting, etc. is part of race strategy and is fair play. Passing is stopping deserves a kick in the rear.
"He who is outside his door has the hardest part of his journey behind him." - Dutch Proverb
I don't care if you pace off of me, but do it over there and not 6 inches to my right for 2 miles. Okay, maybe it's time to let that one go, especially since I passed that guy coming into the finish after he tried to drop me in the last mile.
Cutting corners definitely bothers me. I think there should at least be a cone for people to go around, or have the corner roped off. I'm definitely guilty of drafting off other runners in races, though I do try to alternate and share the lead. I also think sometimes I run up too close behind people in races, which probably gets really annoying. I have this mentality that I can't lose contact. This is starting to feel like a confessional!
I have no problem (etiquette-wise) with passing someone or being passed a few feet before the finish line. It's just part of racing. Unfortunately, many Olympic medals are won with the sit-and-kick method. However, it does make you look pretty silly if you have WAY too much energy at the end of a race.
Groups of people - 2 or more - who run together and take up the whole road. They seem to space themselves so perfectly that it's impossible to get through their road block.
it almost feels like driving sometimes... road rage isn't an option, especially when you have a runners high!
~Quem corre por gusto nao cansa~
And throw in that they are in deep conversation about themselves (you cannot help bur over hear them talk) and totally unaware of others. God, I wish my life was that important.
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
Awesome post.
Rock on and keep on running.....
foo-foo girls in tu-tu's so big you feel like you're having to take a detour to pass them.
I'd add in the compete stop at the water table. Move along, please.
The kids at the front of race starts are about the only thing that bothers me at the race, but generally don't blame them. After that it's all down to basics how fast can I finish!
Runners who spit right in the middle of the road. Gross! If you're going to do that at least move to the side!
I'm not usually a hard core competitive runner who complains about other runners; but a year or two back I was doing a local 5k in which a woman's husband was pacing her on his bike. He stayed to her left but as she wove back and forth across the road so did he totally oblivious to the fact he was scattering runners along the way. I finally told him to stay in one place so that people could get around. He wasn't happy with my 'command' but then another runner offered to knock him off the bike. I think he got the message. I cooled down by the time his wife reached the finish line and didn't approach him even though he followed his wife right through the finish chute. I did talk to the race organizer to make sure it didn't happen again.
I've gotten rather used to drafters... I'm 6'4" so I think people just gravitate to me, I don't mind since I can't really draft behind people anyway. I do hate to see people cutting the corners though. The other points I just see as sportsmanship or a complete lack of common sense and caring for your fellow runner.
I don't know about other "rules" but I never did agree with the one you mentioned concerning passing right at the end of a race. Why should anyone slow down at the end. They could be going for their PR or just feeling great that day. Why should they slow down for others to finish ahead of them.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
I always wondered if the people who measure courses take the sidewalk corner-cutters into account. If so, does that mean I'm adding length by staying on the road?
My pet peeve--which always comes out in 4th of July races, especially--is slower runners and kids who line up at the front.
People cutting corners on the sidewalk drives me crazy!
Also run/walkers who line up in front and then stop dead for their walk interval.
I ramble...
Interesting observations. I have jumped on a sidewalk during long straightaways to pass the wedge of friends who won't part, but would not do it on a turn to gain unfair advantage (nor do I do it often, but sometimes it's the only option). I don't get too worked up about what others do, but I hate the blind snot rockets and spit! I'm cool with others drafting or pacing, so long as it doesn't impact what I'm trying to do. Good times.

Supercross: Dad sold family farm to fund career of local favorite Jake Weimer
So you are going to Saturday night's big AMA Supercross motorcycle racing event on the imported dirt at Rice-Eccles Stadium, and you are looking for a rider to cheer for when the big bikes roll out for the main event, the 450SX class race, around 7:30 p.m.
Why not pull for the local guy?
That would be Jake Weimer, a 25-year-old rider with the Factory Kawasaki team who grew up just across the border in Rupert, Idaho.
"For me, personally, Salt Lake is the closest race I have to my home," Weimer told The Salt Lake Tribune earlier this week. "I spent a fair amount of time racing in Utah growing up, and still have a lot of friends there now. I sure hope [the fans] see me as the hometown favorite."
Just don't bet the farm on Weimer, who is struggling through an injury and illness-plagued season and is a mildly disappointing 12th in the 450SX series point standings heading into the series' penultimate race.
After all, that's already been done.
When Weimer was 14 and trying to make it on the national amateur circuit (riders can't turn pro until they are 16), his father, Jason, sold the three-generation family farm in southern Idaho to pay for the undertaking. Jake estimates his father spent $100,000 to $150,000 a year to fuel his blossoming career.
"It was a major sacrifice," Jake said.
About a decade later, the rail-thin, blonde Weimer has been so successful in the cutthroat sport his hometown reports him to be one of its most famous products, along with former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, on its website that he has been able to buy several pieces of land near Rupert, and Jason Weimer is back to farming again.
He grows sugar beets, wheat, barley and, of course, potatoes  it being Idaho and all.
There were times in his early teens, before the sale of the farm, Weimer recalls, when his father would cut up scrap metal with a hacksaw and sell it to a local recycling plant to get money to travel to the next race, or for racing equipment. Sometimes, Jason Weimer would sell farm machinery and the like at local pawn shops to keep his son's career going.
Jake remembers scrounging for change under couch cushions, and out of a rusty tin lunch pail, so he could buy gas for after-school practice sessions.
"Unfortunately, for as cool of a sport as it is, and as fun as it is, it is not cheap," Weimer said. "It is an expensive sport, especially when you are trying to do it at a high level as an amateur, going to all the amateur nationals. So, yeah, my family did everything they could to keep me racing."
Weimer first climbed on a motorcycle when he was 4. He doesn't remember doing it, but he's been told that he stopped midway through his first race to ask his mother how he was doing.
By the time he was 11, however, he was taking it far more seriously, and his achievements have piled up ever since.
Prior to the 2011 season, Weimer moved up to the big bikes after winning the Supercross Lites West Region Series Championship in 2010 and signed on with Kawasaki, where he is teammates with points leader Ryan Villopoto. At the end of 2012, he signed on for another two years.
However, he missed the fourth race this season, at Oakland, with pneumonia. When he tried to get back to racing too fast, he wrecked in Anaheim and suffered broken ribs, which sidelined him the next two races. Last weekend at Seattle, he placed fifth, though, tying his best finish this season.
"It has been tough, and it has been frustrating," Weimer said. "But that's how it goes. You just gotta keep pushing forward. But I go back to what my dad taught me you don't ever quit, no matter what. You just work harder."
And sell the family farm, if that's what it takes.

Gold Prospecting Outcrop; Surface Showings.
Outcrop is a word that merely means the area where a mineral deposit comes into contact with the surface of the earth. There are occasions in which it does stick out on top of the surface many feet but in most cases it has been eroded at the same level of the surface and sometimes can even be buried under several feet of overburden.
After the prospector in conclusion gets to his original site of the gold, there might not be any indication at all an outcrop used to stand there. As a matter a fact, buried outcrops are most likely the best individual prospect for a person to find a prize for most of the ones that remain have already been found and investigated.
If you are able to see the outcrop you will not have any more problems concerning the search and you can get right into testing and investigating of the outcrop right away. In some occasions an outcrop will be at the same level of the surface and can be visually seen or with only a little bit of scratching done on the dirt. In most instances the contact spot will be buried from several inches to several feet down and the search for this needs to be done in a more methodical way than just the straight line or random search and most likely in a more systematic way than in the case of a triangle kind of tracking search.
You should first check out the land that is surrounding. It is very common that the high spot of the tracking search is not the highest spot in the area. The highest spot might be found on the side of a mountain, in a hole between a couple mountains, on a depression on the side of the slope as well as in many other spots but not at the head of a drainage structure.
You will in most cases be able to define in what direction the soil has been taken and which is going through erosion with some basic knowledge of geology and this should also be in a downward slope.
The search will need to start down hill from the location of the outcrop that is suspected. You will need to draw the base line across the slope at angles to the grade. The base line is in most cases informal and testing should start with the easier techniques at first. The starting point is around the middle and the work should move onto the side every so often in order to get rid of the possibility of working on the wrong side of the line first.
