American Pastimes: The Very Best of Red Smith (The Library of America)by Daniel Okrent Red Smith
Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith was the most widely read sportswriter of the last century and the first to win the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. From the 1940s to the 1980s, his nationally syndicated columns for the New York Herald Tribune and later for The New York Times traversed the world of sports with literary panache and wry humor. "I've always had the notion," Smith once said, "that people go to spectator sports to have fun and then they grab the paper to read about it and have fun again." Now, writer and editor (and inventor of Rotisserie League Baseball) Daniel Okrent presents the best of Smith's inimitable columns--miniature masterpieces that remain the gold standard in sportswriting.Here are Smith's indelible profiles of sports luminaries, which show his gift for distilling a career's essence in a single column. Unforgettable accounts of historic occasions--Bobby Thompson's Shot Heard 'Round the World, Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, the first Ali-Frazier fight--are joined by more offbeat stories that display Smith's unmistakable wit, intelligence, and breadth of feeling. Here, too, are more personal glimpses into Smith's life and work, revealed in stories about his lifelong passion for fishing and in "My Press-Box Memoirs," a 1975 reminiscence for Esquire collected here for the first time.A Special Publication of The Library of America.
Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibitionby Daniel Okrent
A brilliant, authoritative, and fascinating history of America's most puzzling era, the years 1920 to 1933, when the U.S. Constitution was amended to restrict one of America's favorite pastimes: drinking alcoholic beverages. From its start, America has been awash in drink. The sailing vessel that brought John Winthrop to the shores of the New World in 1630 carried more beer than water. By the 1820s, liquor flowed so plentifully it was cheaper than tea. That Americans would ever agree to relinquish their booze was as improbable as it was astonishing. Yet we did, and Last Call is Daniel Okrent's dazzling explanation of why we did it, what life under Prohibition was like, and how such an unprecedented degree of government interference in the private lives of Americans changed the country forever. Writing with both wit and historical acuity, Okrent reveals how Prohibition marked a confluence of diverse forces: the growing political power of the women's suffrage movement, which allied itself with the antiliquor campaign; the fear of small-town, native-stock Protestants that they were losing control of their country to the immigrants of the large cities; the anti-German sentiment stoked by World War I; and a variety of other unlikely factors, ranging from the rise of the automobile to the advent of the income tax. Through it all, Americans kept drinking, going to remarkably creative lengths to smuggle, sell, conceal, and convivially (and sometimes fatally) imbibe their favorite intoxicants. Last Call is peopled with vivid characters of an astonishing variety: Susan B. Anthony and Billy Sunday, William Jennings Bryan and bootlegger Sam Bronfman, Pierre S. du Pont and H. L. Mencken, Meyer Lansky and the incredible--if long-forgotten--federal official Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who throughout the twenties was the most powerful woman in the country. (Perhaps most surprising of all is Okrent's account of Joseph P. Kennedy's legendary, and long-misunderstood, role in the liquor business.) It's a book rich with stories from nearly all parts of the country. Okrent's narrative runs through smoky Manhattan speakeasies, where relations between the sexes were changed forever; California vineyards busily producing "sacramental" wine; New England fishing communities that gave up fishing for the more lucrative rum-running business; and in Washington, the halls of Congress itself, where politicians who had voted for Prohibition drank openly and without apology. Last Call is capacious, meticulous, and thrillingly told. It stands as the most complete history of Prohibition ever written and confirms Daniel Okrent's rank as a major American writer.
Nine Inningsby Daniel Okrent
You'll never watch baseball the same way again. A timeless baseball classic and a must read for any fan worthy of the name, Nine Innings dissects a single baseball game played in June 1982 -- inning by inning, play by play. Daniel Okrent, a seasoned writer and lifelong fan, chose as his subject a Milwaukee BrewersBaltimore Orioles matchup, though it could have been any game, because, as Okrent reveals, the essence of baseball, no matter where or when it's played, has been and will always be the same. In this particular moment of baseball history you will discover myriad aspects of the sport that are crucial to its nature but so often invisible to the fans -- the hidden language of catchers' signals, the physiology of pitching, the balance sheet of a club owner, the gait of a player stepping up to the plate. With the purity of heart and unwavering attention to detail that characterize our national pastime, Okrent goes straight to the core of the world's greatest game. You'll never watch baseball the same way again.

How to Write a Needs Assessment and 100-Day Plan: Free Templates Available for Download
We often hear of 90-day plans, but how do you create one? How do you identify the priorities for a 90-day plan?
I've successfully used this tool over the past eight years. It was one of the keys to successfully landing a Director of Marketing job. 100 or 90-day plans are often used as a tool to prioritize and manage workload, measure performance of new hires, or both.
My last employer made it clear that he wanted a 100-Day Plan during my first three months into my job as Director of Marketing.
Deliverables for Core Work Areas
As part of the job interview process, I created a Needs Assessment template to identify my future CEO's company priorities for the 100-Day Plan. This template approach can be used for any department. My needs assessment was written from a Marketing perspective that covered the following major areas:
- Strategic planning
- Reach
- Collateral
- Sales tools
- Competitive intelligence
- Events
In each area, I listed work or deliverables that should be completed for each respective area. For each work or deliverable, I had the key stakeholders in identify:if the work/deliverable had one of the following priority levels:
- Current (no update required by me)
- High Priority (Now)
- Important (This Quarter)
- Low (Set a Due Date)
- Notes columns
The notes columns help me remember if there are special circumstances or dependencies that I must remember, as a I work on the deliverable.
The Needs Assessment helped me identify the work that needed to be completed for the following areas:
- Lead generation: identify lead generation activities and work on the product marketing for new and existing products.
- Key messaging action plan: identify the key messaging for current product; identify the target audience; how product satisfies their business needs; and what features are used to solve those problems. This will drive the sales tools like Solution Development Prompters, but also Marcom efforts.
- Sales reference guides: develop Sales Reference for sales people. These are materials for existing product for direct sales and a tailored one for channel partners.
- Product Marketing for new product in development: start the product marketing process with new product in development, so my new employer would have a Product Launch Plan with all Marcom activities identified and ready for the early 2006 launch.
- Initial competitor sale tools: identify key competitors and how product(s) compare, creating side-by-side sales tools.
- Market planning: provides a means to start next year's process.
Instant Marketing Department
This is part of my repeatable process for creating a marketing department, its functions, and deliverables. I identify the Marketing Department's priorities through the Needs Assessment. I also estimate the number of house each deliverable would take to complete in the needs assessment. I use these estimate to determine how long the deliverables would take to complete. I determine the resources available in my department in man hours. Because there will be more man hours required for all items on the Needs Assessment, I work with my CEO and stakeholders, again, to determine priorities the must-haves for now (this quarter), next quarter, and beyond the next quarter.
The finalized Needs Assessment with due dates, becomes my 100-day plan that my new CEO measures my performance with. Using Excel, I create my 100-day plan spreadsheet that's used to manage my department's workload and performance against 100-day deliverables and due dates.
From my CEO's perspective, the Needs Assessment is like "just adding water" to his marketing priorities, creating an instant Marketing department. From his perspective, he tells me his priorities and I turn them into actionable items.
Needs Assessment and 100-Day Plan Free Templates
The 100-Day Plan template below is a first draft. It doesn't include specific deliverables that I identified as part of my finalized 100-Day Plan. Here are the links to the free downloads for the Needs Assessment template and 100-Day Plan template:

Tucson, Ariz. ?- Arizona women's tennis Head Coach Vicky Maes announced the hiring of Brian Ramirez as the program's new assistant coach. Ramirez comes to Arizona after having served as the volunteer assistant for Stanford for the last two years.
"Brian brings a world of experience to the program and we are excited to have him on board," Maes said of her new hire. "His work with an elite program like Stanford is a testament to his knowledge about Pac-10 athletics and college tennis in general. We expect the program to do very well this year, and Brian will be a major contributor to achieving our goals."
At Stanford, Ramirez helped the Cardinal capture the 2004 National Championship, as well as consecutive Pac-10 Championships. Prior to joining the Cardinal, Ramirez worked at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. At UNC-Greensboro, Ramirez helped facilitate both the men's and women's programs in their transition to Division I athletics.
"Coming from a place like Stanford where the players win a lot, it's nice to be able to come some place where you can inject a breath of fresh air into some players that have had no real contact with you," Ramirez said. "I want them to build confidence, more than anything else, and to help them understand how to compete and how to win."
A native Californian, Ramirez, worked with some of the world's top junior players and pros at Palmer International in Tampa, Fla., following his work at UNC-Greensboro. Ramirez has worked with both men and women, American and international players, during his coaching career.
"The real draw was to stay in the Pac-10," Ramirez said of why he accepted the position. "To be able to come to a program like Arizona is a real treat."
Before transferring to UNC-Greensboro, Ramirez was a two-time All-Conference player at Foothill Junior College. He helped lead the team to a semifinal appearance in the state championships in 1991 and a state runner-up finish in 1992.
His responsibilities with the Wildcat team will include player development, recruiting, and team travel.

Brining light meats and poultry will keep them moist when you grill them. There's nothing worse than dry, dry chicken breasts. Just follow these simple instructions for grilling your chicken without worrying that your great looking and delicious smelling chicken will cause cotton mouth. This is the most basic of brining methods. It is simple, yet so effective for getting moist, juicy results off the grill.
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup salt
1 quart water
4 chicken breasts
Step 1:
Mix the sugar, salt, and water until dissolved.
Step 2:
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the brining solution over it.
Step 3:
Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for several hours.
Step 4:
Before grilling, rinse the salt off of the chicken with water. Grill as usual, for instance by using homemade barbecue sauce as you normally would.
Use a double or triple batch of the brining solution for larger amounts of meat.

Nov. 2, 2006
By Justin Chartrey
The Daily
The hope for any collegiate player is that he leaves a good legacy, whether that be winning a national championship or leaving a mark in the record books. For Matt Fountaine, that meant trying to turn around a program that has not been to a bowl game in the past four years.
Coming out of high school at Bishop O'Dowd in Oakland, Calif., Washington was a perfect fit for Fountaine. His brother Jamal Fountaine was a member of the 1991 national championship team at the UW, so he already had a connection with the school and the football program.
"Washington was the only school I ever thought of," he said. "I got other offers but this is where I wanted to go."
Having seen his older brother play at the UW and have great success as a Husky, Fountaine had similar aspirations when he signed. Instead, he has been right in the middle of one of this program's most turbulent stretches.
In his high school days, Fountaine played all aspects of the game as a running back on offense and as a corner on defense. In his senior season, he rushed for 1,885 yards and 26 touchdowns, and on defense he racked up eight interceptions. His skill caught the eye of several publications, placing him among the top recruits in the state of California. That attention also caught the eye of several programs around the nation.
"My junior year I started running the ball well," he said. "I started getting letters from schools and I realized that I could play [Division I]."
He never had the opportunity to play for Rick Neuheisal -- the coach who recruited him -- but for the past four years he has worked at being the best player he could be.
Fountaine credits his current coaching staff with that development as a defensive player after being primarily a running back in high school.
Since his redshirt freshman season in 2003, Fountaine has been on the field in almost every game. In 2003, he saw action in 10 of the 11 games, and the following year played in every game.
To his coaches, he is a reliable veteran in the secondary.
In Washington's first seven games -- when Dashon Goldson was recovering from an ankle injury -- Fountaine fi lled in nicely, recording 44 tackles, including a season-high nine against both Oklahoma and USC. Those totals easily eclipsed his previous season-high of 39.
He also brings the kind of veteran leadership and experience that is necessary for any team in the rebuilding phase. He is a man who wants to make leadership an everyday part of his life.
In the future, Fountaine said that he wants to become the mayor of Oakland, his hometown. Having graduated with a degree in political science, he would love to make a difference in the political world as soon as he can.
"I'm really interested in the political developments that go on in a lot of the urban diverse areas," he said. "I want to know how aspects of life affect decisions that are made, and I want to be a part of that when I get older."
On this team, he is getting plenty of opportunity to lead as one of the seniors.
"He's a great teammate," said teammate Roy Lewis. "He's an older guy and has been around for a while. He's a great player to play with."
For Fountaine, perhaps that will be his legacy: The constant leader and a guy who gave his all every time he was on the field.

Camel Toe Hos Site Facts
Camel Toe Hos Review
Freetour offers: Camel Toe Hoes really goes over the top with the tour design. It's awesome. There are pictures of camel toe all over the place and they keep the silly sales text to a minimum. Below the graphical header you'll see preview boxes with information on the latest updates. There's a description of the scene, five preview images and a high resolution preview that streams in a Flash player. They offer as much free content as a preview ever has and you should have a good idea of the final product by the time you're done.
General impression: Not all women have camel toe. It takes a special kind of pussy lips to have true camel toe. If they're too loose or beat up then they don't really approximate a camel's toe and therefore don't deserve the moniker. At Camel Toe Hoes it appears as though they stay away from those babes and bring in only the youngest, most beautiful girls in the world to show off their sweet pussies on camera. Each babe looks amazing and it seems like they spend part of each scene highlighting the girl's camel toe, which is all you can ask for from a site like this one.
Bravo's opinion: The member's area of Camel Toe Hoes it's a little jarring at first because it's so different from the tour. The design is a complete departure, owing to the fact that the site is built off a template because there are so many others that come as a bonus. Still, it's fairly easy to browse. If you join be sure to enter the section labeled "Featured Series." That's where you'll find the hot camel toe content you signed up for. You'll also see links to the bonus video and picture galleries, which is one the best reasons to join (more on that later).
When you visit the content area you'll find that this is a sparsely populated site. There are ten updates, and although most of them run longer than 30 minutes that doesn't really make it okay. With so little dedicated camel toe content you'll probably ended up feeling like you got ripped off, especially since none of the 4,000+ bonus videos are specifically geared towards camel toe lovers. This is a problem, but it's not nearly as large as you might imagine. The thing about camel toe is that about half the women you see in porn have it and for the most part you can only really enjoy it when a woman is wearing panties.
Therefore very few sites, even those that claim to specialize in camel toe, actually spend all that much time doing camel toe content. If you really want good camel toe content you'll find it at Camel Toe Hoes in all the bonus areas. There are countless picture galleries featuring chicks in tight panties with perfect pussy lips and thousands of videos that you can check out. The ten clips you'll find the dedicated member's area are probably the best of the best, but it's by no means all there is to enjoy.
Each scene comes with a photo gallery and a video. The pictures are actual digital shots, as opposed to screen captures, and they show the models posing solo, which you won't see in the video. The girls usually start out fully dressed and then strip for us. The camera pays close attention to the babe's camel toe, typically going in for an extreme close up on her hot hole and the panties that display her camel toe. In some cases the girl will try on multiple pairs of panties to give you a truly amazing experience. They always make sure to pull them tight to emphasize their sweet pussy lips.
The videos are the most excellent part of Camel Toe Hoes. First you have the streaming movie that runs in a Flash player. It starts running in mere seconds and it's easy to fast forward as well. You can also download the video in three formats. The first is a portable file for your iPod or PSP. The second is a WMV file at a medium resolution. The third is an AVI in a stunningly sexy high resolution. It will take a while to download the biggest scenes – they're usually 400-600mb, but it's worth it when you finally see them. They do look truly beautiful.
That's pretty much it as far as content goes. That's not anywhere near as far as your membership stretches though. The site is absolutely enormous with more than 13,000 videos and nearly 3 million pictures at your disposal. Really, joining Camel Toe Hoes is just a way to get access to this network of downloadable movies. It's nice that they offer specific camel toe videos, but when you have this much porn at your disposal it's not such a big deal that there aren't enough of them. The movies are organized into more than 40 categories, including niche stuff like creampies, CFNM, party girls, pregnant, squirting and anime.
Every video is downloadable, although not all of them come in the high resolution AVI that was available for the Camel Toe Hoes videos. Still, most are available in a good enough file that you can run it full screen without issue. There's a model index if you want to search by star, but it's actually pretty small when compared to the number of scenes they have. I'm guessing they don't have the names for all the models or the index only features the most popular girls. The picture collection spans more than 25,000 galleries in 40+ categories. Some of them are absolute rubbish, but there's enough good stuff to make it worth looking through your favorite niches.
Camel Toe Hoes is disappointing as a camel toe site. They only offer ten content sets, each with a downloadable video and a picture gallery. The image sets are great because they spend a significant amount of time concentrating on the babe's camel toe, but with only ten of them you'll be done with them in a week's time. The reason to join Camel Toe Hoes is to get access to the collection of more than 13,000 downloadable scenes and 25,000 picture galleries. If that's not money well spent then nothing is.

This set is beautiful out of the box. Well made, which can be expected from Bassani products. The price was right on point as well. My only problem with this set is that the overall sound levels produced are just too high for every day driving. I would get the dreaded "droan" at 2000 rpm which would drown out the radio and any chance of conversation at highway speeds. If you don't mind that constant head buzzing at speed, this is the set of pipes for you. I have a 2011 Shelby GT500.

It's time for those tired old Q-Tips to scoot over and make some room for a local rival. Mentor's Sentinel Consumer Products Inc. is celebrating its 100th birthday this year by unleashing a colorful new line of cotton swabs with names such as Blue Ribbon, Green Leaf, Juicy Melon and Tickled Pink. Though such monikers may seem more suited to crayons or bubble gum, Sentinel pioneered the use of color in beauty-care products and already produces swabs called Real Teal, Purple Heart, Lipstick Red and Solid Gold. For the past 30 years, the company's colorful approach to traditionally white products has allowed it to do battle with big-name rivals such as Johnson & Johnson. "The fact is, people gravitate toward color," says Sentinel Consumer Products president Mike Klein. "We're just approaching our consumers in our category like they are approached in other categories."

"Its just neat to see all of these people come out today. It's a lot of people."
"A lot of young people, they don't realize how much the struggles they had to go through to get that business."
"And they all have one reason to be here and that's to be together, come together and celebrate this man together."
A man who's dream has helped shape a nation close to 40 years after his death.
"It's a long way to go to be considered equal. We're just about 40 percent there but there's still another 60 we need to make. We still do have opportunities," says William Parris, who marched during today's celebration.
During her speech in the MLK tribute at State Street Baptist Church, Dr. Betty Griffith notes, "We've got to get past this notion that complexion has everything to do with support."
Support that led king and many others through the darkest part of the civil rights movement.
"Together they marched in the streets of Selma, sang in Birmingham, went to jail in Nashville so that you and I could come together today. Don't take that lightly," said Dr. Griffith in her speech.
When this movement is all said and done, Monday's march has brought us one step closer to meeting Doctor King's dream.
"This march has helped because it's got the youth involved. They touched on the history and if you don't know where you've come from you might turn around and make the same mistakes and that's what we need to let our youth understand the struggles that we've gone through in the past," says Parris.

If you want to keep your business at the top of the market, you have to keep up with technology. Technological advancements continue to make our lives and jobs a lot easier. For the last few years, virtual private networks (VPN) have become mainstream for both companies and individuals. They have become a leading network solution. Still, many have no idea what the advantages of having a VPN are.
A VPN uses your land line, DSL or cable connections to operate. The classic method of dialing into the network has proven to be a huge business expense. When you run your own business, you have to lease a number that multiple users can dial when connecting to the company network individually or simultaneously. Or if you use cable as many do, you have to deal with expensive high-end business plans offered by local providers. You also need to invest in equipment. Using a toll free number might decrease some of the expense, but there is still a fee to pay.
Working from home or from various locations has almost become the norm within the business world. Telecommuting has become more common and even necessary in some cases. The main concern businesses face is the vulnerability of their company data being stolen by hackers.
One of the major advantages a VPN offers is secure access to your network by encrypting the data that travels through the IP gateway. Any team member or employee will be able to safely connect to the company remotely. This is an awesome perk that has made telecommuting more feasible.
VPN Business Perks
Remote access
File sharing
Surf the web invisibly
Get passed blocked websites and filters
Change your IP address
Increased bandwidth and network efficiency
Save money
There a variety of VPN service providers to choose from. Make decisions based on the needs of those that will be utilizing the remote network and the needs of the business. Ask fellow business owners if they have any recommendations or research yourself online. You can check vpn service reviews by Bestvpnservicemag and a number of other sites.
If you haven't considered providing telecommuting as an option because of the sensitivity of company information, then its time to reconsider. A flexible work environment, produces high quality results.

A dog dubbed "Charlie Brown" is fighting for his life after being abandoned for weeks inside of an empty home in Rochester, N.Y.
Volunteers with a rescue agency were at a local animal control facility when the nearly lifeless dog was brought in by a man; the dog was bundled in blankets and motionless.
When questioned, the man explained that the emaciated dog belonged to a man who was sent to jail. The dog's owner had made arrangements for someone to care for the dog, but that person failed to follow through.
Based on the period of time that the dog's owner has been away, it appears that Charlie Brown suffered alone inside of the home for a staggering 60 to 90 days.
The volunteers with the rescue agency, Rescued Treasures, rushed the emaciated dog to the East Ridge Animal Hospital; his prognosis is guarded.
If Charlie Brown's organs do not shut down, he may pull through - only time, and a good deal of supportive veterinary care, will determine his fate.
Tonight, the beleaguered dog will be transferred to Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Service for 24-hour care.
Anyone hoping to donate towards this dog's veterinary care can do so by sending funds to:
825 White Spruce Boulevard Rochester, NY 14623 (585) 666-1028

A Beachwood, N.J., man was indicted late last week for slaying a dog who was walking on her own property in Pine Bush, reported the Daily Freeman.
On Thursday, a grand jury indicted 39-year-old David Moors on a charge of felony animal cruelty for the October 27 incident which left a family's two-year-old Australian shepherd mix dead.
The dog, named "Clara," who belonged to Chris Palinkas' family, was within the boundaries of her owner's property when she was struck - Moors had been perched in a hunting blind on adjoining property which belongs to his sister, when he shot the dog through the ribs and neck with an arrow.
Clara lived for a short time, but died on the way to an emergency veterinarian.
Clara was not alone when she was fatally wounded - Palinkas' eight-year-old daughter witnessed her dog screaming in agony and writhing on the ground after being struck.
In a publication of The Times shortly after Clara's death, Palinkas spoke about the family's dog:
She was the most friendly dog you'd ever want to know,"
I think that's what got her killed."
Moors is also facing a charge for hunting deer with the aid of bait - he had placed sweetened corn near the blind.
A Facebook page has been created to help bring justice to the dog who was killed - click here.

If you have never owned or spent much time with a ferret, there are some things you need to know before adopting one. Some practical aspects of financial considerations, housing and cohabitation with other pets are discussed in other articles. There are additional considerations.
Do you have any animal experience?
If you have little experience handling animals, a baby ferret may not be a good choice. They are cute and cuddly in the pet shop, but in a few weeks they will be juveniles. They become perpetual motion machines, careless of their own safety and that of your belongings, climbing into everything, terrorizing your cat, and gnawing at your ankles if you dare to stand still. This can be a bewildering metamorphosis for first-time ferret owners who do not understand the nature of ferrets, and it results in some of these young ferrets being abandoned or taken to shelters. Ferrets do grow out of this stage, females often sooner than males, but it may take a year. The more ferrets you have, the less you will notice manic behavior in a young one, because the ferrets use their energy playing wild games with each other. If you are not used to living with animals, and don't think you can get through this stage, don't adopt a baby until you have had more experience. Get a healthy mature ferret from a shelter or a retired breeding animal from a private ferretry.
Do you cheer for the underdog?
People who like to back losers are happiest with an older ferret with a health problem that requires constant care. Would you like to give tender loving care to an animal that will return your affection and never complain, even when it must have treatments that make it temporarily more uncomfortable? Can you deal with losing it despite your efforts? If the answers are 'yes,' then adopt a chronically ill ferret, e.g.; one with cancer, from a shelter. It will provide a home for an animal that deserves one, as well as giving you a chance to do what you are best at.
Are you a true animal lover?
True animal-lovers tolerate anything a juvenile ferret can dish out, and grow to love him because of his exuberant behavior. These people usually have multiple ferrets and enjoy the antics of the young ones. Pet shop ferrets make wonderful pets for these homes. This type of person is also good at taking on ferrets with behavior problems. Their home may not have the Good Housekeeping Sign of Approval, but their ferrets are happy.
Do you like to get involved with others who share your interests?
Ferret shows are great fun for ferret enthusiasts, although they do put the animals at risk from infectious diseases. Some people thrive on competition and enjoy getting their pets out where they can be seen. Small breeders usually start this way, and they are the ones who might be most able to supply you with 'show ferrets.' There are classes for neutered pet shop animals as well, but if you are really interested in getting into the ferret business, it might be best to follow the shows and buy from a breeder.

If you'll remember on April 7th, a widespread hail storm caused a State of Emergency in Hart County.
County officials say property damage estimated nearly $8 million.
Some residents are upset with the slow pace of their insurance companies.
One family says it shouldn't take this long to get windows replaced in their home.
"Every night my girls cry themselves to sleep." Hart County Emergency Management worker Bobby Heath says his young daughters are scared someone will come into their home through their boarded up windows.
"I wasn't expecting it to take 1 month to get check to repair everything." He goes on to explain his damage.
"Plastic blown off the windows... our electric bill has gone sky high."
We found that's much the same story around Hart County, particularly downtown on Maple Avenue.
Homes still look pelted with hail damage and boards cover glassless windows.
Jerry Cherry isn't upset one of his neighbors is getting a new roof. He has lived on Maple Avenue for 31 years. He says this isn't the first time he's dealt with storm damage and insurance companies.
" Oh no, I think the '98 storm knocked trees down." He says his entire roof needs to be replaced.
Cherry also explains why he's not upset.
"There's so much damage in town, the insurance companies are bogged down. I'm not dissatisfied. I'm not in a hurry to get it done because I want it done right."
South Central Kentucky is no stranger to severe weather.
Below are statistics from May 11, 2003, almost 3 years ago to the day.
An F1 tornado formed near Paint Lick.
An F2 formed near Rineyville.
40 homes were damaged or destroyed and there was evidence that 2 tornado's briefly touched down in Mundfordville.
Near Happy Landing, a barn was destroyed by an F1 tornado.
An F2 tornado formed Northwest of Harrodsburg and a 29 year old female drowned when her mobile home on Bohon Road was blown about 100 yards into the Salt River.

PS: I will pay to ship...they are cast iron, each one around 8-9 inches tall or wide. You can thank me when you receive them.

The NHL shuts down on Saturday night and the Olympic tournament starts on Wednesday, so get ready for ten days of what an all-star game should look like: the world's best players (sans Jack Johnson) playing games that they actually care about. If you're a hockey fanatic, Olympic hockey might be even better that the quarterfinal round of the playoffs– albeit with less productivity at work (most of the games are at 7 am or noon).
Since the "R" in RMNB stands for Russian and we've got two Ruskies on the staff, you might think we'd be in the tank for the home team. You'd be wrong (mostly). Below, the entire RMNB team shares its picks for the Olympic mens hockey tournament. Tell us where we're wrong (e.g. Canada) and share your own picks in the comments.

Motyl and Malik Receive Weekly Atlantic 10 Honors
April 22, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - Yuliana Motyl picked up her first Atlantic 10 accolade of the season, tabbed Women's Tennis Co-Performer of the Week alongside George Washington's, Leah Pascarella. Aarzoo Malik was also named the A-10 Rookie Performer of the Week for the second time this season.
Motyl went 2-0 last week in UMass' Senior Day win over Rhode Island. At No. 3 doubles, Motyl paired with Anna Woosley for an 8-3 victory against Taylor Holden and Jordan Rucks. Then at No. 1 singles, the senior picked up a three-set victory against URI's Galina Chernykh, winning in a 12-10 tiebreaker.
Aarzoo Malik picked up her second collegiate Atlantic 10 Conference honor, previously collecting the title of Rookie Performer of the Week after her strong conference efforts on April 8 against Saint Joseph's. In the Minutewomen's lone match of the week, Malik picked up wins at No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles, as the squad defeated A-10 foe, Rhode Island, on Senior Day. Alongside Arielle Griffin, the pair defeated Galina Chernyk and Elizaveta Sadovnikova, 8-0 at No. 2 doubles. Malik then recorded a straight set win over Kathleen Uy, 6-1, 6-4 at third singles. Malik finishes the spring season 10-4 in singles, riding a four-match win streak.
The 5th seeded Minutewomen are set to face 12th seeded Dayton on Thurday, April 24 at 9 a.m. in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Championships at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio. The winner will move on to face the winner of the Richmond v. La Salle match on Friday.

Aqua New Jersey replaced 1,400 feet of two-inch cast iron main that is estimated to date back to the early 1900s, the company said yesterday. In addition to swapping out the the piping along Grandview, Edgewood and Maple avenues, the company also replaced two aging fire hydrants and the customer service lines up to the curb.
The $130,000 project is part of Aqua's plan to adhere to the Environmental Protection Agency's 20-year capital investment of $334.8 billion to replace and repair old public water systems, the company said.
Aqua operations manager John Hildabrant said the old pipe was replaced and connected to the new hydrants, which will improve water volume and pressure for firefighting.

The weekend is here and so is February. After another cold outbreak early this week we have slowly warmed the last couple of days and that trend continues through the weekend as it will feel un-February like through Sunday.
High pressure has drifted offshore this morning. We are watching a low pressure system to our west that is going to track across the eastern Great Lakes and be positioned in northern Maine by Sunday morning. The system is moving far enough to our west and north that the precipitation associated with it will mainly impact western, central and northern New England today and tonight. Our chance for showers will come Sunday as the associated cold front swings through our area during the day. Ahead of the front milder air remains in place through the weekend before it begins to cool down Monday.
Low pressure over the Southeast US on Monday morning quickly moves off the coast south of New England and passes well to our south during the day. However, it may come close enough to bring a band of light snow across the south coast of New England and southeastern Massachusetts on Monday. Locally we could see a few passing flurries or snow showers in the immediate Boston area through midday. Cooler air overspreads the region through the day and stays in place. It will not be the arctic cold that we have seen time and again the last two months but still a slightly below normal chill will persist. This is important and will play a big part in the weather for mid week as a significant winter storm is likely to impact the area later Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Low pressure emerges from the western Gulf of Mexico Tuesday and rapidly moves northeastward. The system is expected to redevelop off the New Jersey coast by Wednesday morning which helps to hold in the colder air and keeps this primarily a snow event inland. Coastal areas could see a wintry mix during Wednesday. Specific impacts are not yet certain but this could be a significant storm to one with only light to moderate impacts. More will be known by late this weekend with additional computer model runs.
Clearing skies, windy and colder weather returns for Thursday and Friday.
72 Hour Outlook:
Saturday: Some early breaks of sunshine, otherwise becoming mostly cloudy this afternoon. Mild, high temperatures in the low to mid 40s. Light variable winds, turning south to southeast this afternoon.
Saturday night: Remaining mostly cloudy. Slight chance of a shower very late, especially across the interior. Lows in the mid 30s. Light south winds.
Sunday: Considerable cloudiness, chance of a passing shower. Mild, highs in the mid to upper 40s. Winds turning west in the afternoon at 5 to 15 mph.
Sunday night: Mostly to partly cloudy. Cooler, lows in the mid to upper 20s. Northwest winds 5 to 15 mph.
Monday and Monday night: Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy near the New Hampshire border, becoming mostly clear overnight. Chance of flurries or a few snow showers through midday in and around Boston. Colder, highs in the low to mid 30s with overnight lows in the low 20s. Some upper teens possible through the interior.

Hungry Mother Lake - Fishing Opportunities
All three species of black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted) are available in Hungry Mother Lake. Largemouth are the dominant bass species and spotted bass, which first appeared in the 1995 sample collection, are now a close second. There are not very many smallmouths in Hungry Mother Lake, but there are some large ones in the 18 to 20-inch ranges.
Hungry Mother also offers a very good opportunity to fish for walleyes in a small lake setting. The best time to catch walleyes at Hungry Mother is during the months of April, May and June at night. Alewives, the primary forage fish, move shallow to spawn. Walleyes feed heavily on the spawning alewives, and this can create some very exciting fishing.
Crappie fishing can be good at Hungry Mother. In late spring some really nice crappie are caught near shoreline brush. At night during the summer, anglers catch big numbers of small crappie (less than 8 inches) under lanterns and floating lights.
This lake also offers anglers a chance to catch a trophy muskie. Annual stockings maintain good numbers of fish in the population. Some trophy fish are landed each year. Biologists have collected muskies in excess of 48 inches total length.
Channel catfish fishing has been very good the last couple of years. The Department's new catfish stocking protocol has resulted in much better survival of stocked fish. Anglers are catching catfish by a variety of methods, but night fishing in the glow of lantern light seems to be most popular technique. Nightcrawlers, chicken livers and prepared baits are all productive offerings.

Volunteers are needed to help clear beaches of litter and debris all around the Great Lakes as part of the Alliance's annual September Adopt-a-Beach™ cleanup on Sept. 25, the Alliance's 20th anniversary of the event.
There are 235 scheduled cleanups in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. "Adopting a beach is something almost anyone can do to help the Great Lakes and feel like they're part of the solution," said Jamie Cross, acting manager of the Adopt-a-Beach™ program. "It's empowering at a time when some of the problems facing our Great Lakes can seem overwhelming."
Last year more than 5,682 volunteers in three Great Lakes states took part in the one-day event, removing 18,100 pounds of trash from 145 locations in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. This year the Alliance also takes on the state of Wisconsin, serving for the first time as state coordinator of the Wisconsin coastal cleanup.
Beach litter is dangerous, as well as an eyesore. Small children play with cigarette butts, fish consume pieces of plastic, and birds get ensnared in fishing line and balloon strings – all common forms of trash found on Great Lakes shorelines.
To get involved and register online, see http://www.greatlakesadopt.org/home.php. For more information on the Alliance's year-round Adopt-a-Beach™ program, see http://www.greatlakes.org/adoptabeach.
We hope you can join "G's Army" on Saturday, September 25th from 9:30am -11:30am to help clean up 57th Street Beach. We only ask that you wear closed-toe shoes – we'll supply the gloves. Also, juice, coffee and donuts are on us! You'll know who we are –we'll be the ones busy cleaning!

With the season of white pants and shorts upon us, this is usually the time of year where my shoes get a little funkier. Naturally, I was perusing the shoe pages and came across these Walter Steiger Tadpole Floral Print Curved Heels. In the tiny thumbnail they looked perfect, just the kind of shoe I was looking for to kick of my new summer shoe wardrobe. When I zoomed into the picture, my opinions quickly changed.
This shoe is a total Monet – a term coined by the classic movie Clueless to express when something looks great from afar, but is a total mess up close. What I once thought was a beautiful floral print on the shoe actually turned out to be a scrunched up crinkly fabric, the kind that reminds me of those one-size-fits-all stretchy shirts they once sold at cheap teen-clothing stores. Fabric aside, the actual silhouette of the shoe is really nice, and I've always been a lover of the curved heel. Now if only we could just get the fabric fixed. If you happen to be a fan of the shoe you can purchase them for $795 at Bergdorf Goodman.

How to estimate your government pensions
Jim Middlemiss Bankrate.com
How much money you need for retirement is open for
debate. One rule of thumb suggests 70 percent of your current income
is necessary, but as little as 50 percent might also do.
As to where that retirement money will come from,
there are three possibilities: your own savings, a private pension
plan or a government pension plan. Private pension plans cover only
40 percent of Canadians, according to the Government of Canada,
so most of us will rely on savings and public pensions.
In fact, about 98 percent of Canadians over the age
of 65 draw some form of government pension, whether it's the Canada
Pension Plan (CPP) and/or the Old Age Security (OAS).
Understanding your entitlements under these two systems
can be tricky, but it's worth the effort, since a typical Canadian
can expect to get about $10,000 a year between the two systems,
says Malcolm Hamilton, a pension consultant with Mercer Human Resource
Consulting in Toronto.
Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
"CPP covers only those who are in the workforce" and is
a joint provincial-federal program, explains Bruce Cohen, author
of "The Pension Puzzle," an easy-to-follow primer on pension
planning. Because it is a joint program, "it's pretty hard
to make major changes," he says.
Working Canadians and their employers pay into the
fund based on maximum earnings of $40,500. However, Tina Di Vito,
vice president and national manager of retirement planning and taxation
at BMO Nesbitt Burns, in Toronto, warns that "CPP is only designed
to replace 25 percent of that income, which is not very much."
The amount you'll receive depends on your career earnings.
CPP is indexed to inflation and the government sets the payment
schedule every January. Working Canadians should receive a yearly
pension statement from CPP, which provides an estimated monthly
pension they will receive once they hit 65. The maximum annual payment
for 2004 is $9,770 or about $814 a month, says Di Vito. That amounts
to income replacement of about 24 percent for someone earning $40,000.
However, most people don't earn the maximum. In fact,
the average monthly CPP payment in 2003 was $447 or $5,364 a year,
all of which is subject to income tax. For more information about
CPP payment rates, check out Social Development Canada's Web
You can start collecting CPP as early as age 60, but
you will forfeit 30 percent of the benefit. You can also wait until
as late as 70 and earn 30 percent more. You must apply to collect
CPP, which can be done online or by mail, and the government suggests
applying six months in advance.
In order to start collecting CPP, you must stop working
for one month, but can start working again afterward and still receive
your CPP payments. But if you're collecting benefits and then take
a job, you can't pay into the plan in the hopes of increasing your
current pension.
While there was once a concern that CPP was underfunded
and would not survive the approaching crush of retirees, a recent
actuary report suggests it's good for 75 years, says Cohen. He speculates
that if there are any changes to the CPP plan, it will likely be
upping the maximum benefit to entice people to wait until they're
65 or older to apply.
Old Age Security (OAS)
The more complicated of Canada's public pensions is OAS. Your entitlement
to benefits is tied to your income and, unlike the CPP, which is
a separate fund, OAS is funded out of ordinary government revenues,
explains Di Vito. "There is always the risk that it will be
altered in some way."
To qualify for OAS, you have to be over 65 and have
lived in Canada for a minimum of 10 years after the age of 18. Like
CPP, you will be taxed on the amount you receive. OAS is also indexed
to inflation and the government sets the amount payable four times
a year based on the cost of living. You must apply for OAS benefits
and should do so six months before turning 65.
The current maximum payment is $467 a month or $5,600
a year. However, the average monthly payment as of March 2004 was
only $442 or $5,300 per year.
While that's the amount you are technically entitled
to, the government also looks at how much you earn from other pensions
and investments. If you earn too much, your OAS benefit will be
reduced. If you earn too little, your benefit will be topped up
under the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or the Allowance Program,
which are both technically part of the OAS system.
The OAS claw-back starts when your income reaches
$59,790; OAS is eliminated if you earn more than $96,972 a year.
Only about two percent of Canadians have the total clawed back,
so most people can expect to earn something from OAS in its current
Low-income supplements
The GIS and Allowance Program are designed to provide low-income
Canadians with additional funds. They are not taxed, but must be
claimed on your tax return.
As well, you must apply for them each year. Like OAS,
these supplements are geared to your income and are subject to claw-backs.
The amount you receive depends on a variety of scenarios, such as
whether you're single or have a spouse. It also varies if your spouse
collects CPP or the Allowance. (For more information on OAS rates,
visit Social
Development Canada.
For GIS, a single person can receive a maximum payment
of $554 a month or $6,655 annually, provided their income is less
than $13,320. Combined with the maximum OAS payment, it would give
you yearly income of $12,259. However, the average person receives
GIS payments of $377 a month.
The Allowance is a top-up for Canadians between 60
and 64 and recognizes the hardships faced by couples that must survive
on one spouse's pension. For more information about federal government
pensions and benefits, contact Canada
Since OAS is funded through general revenues, it's
questionable how long such benefits can survive an aging population.
"It's one of the fastest-growing federal government expenditures,"
says Cohen. "So while I fully expect to collect my due from
CPP, I am not so certain about OAS."
Prime Minister Paul Martin already tried to tinker
with OAS, back when he was finance minister, and felt the wrath
of senior citizens. Nonetheless, because the feds alone call the
shots, the government can easily modify OAS if the political will
is there.
Pension consultant Hamilton says if you don't have
a private pension to supplement government pensions, the best bet
for Canadians is to accumulate between $200,000 and $300,000 for
a single person or $400,000 for a couple. With that and government
pension, "you'll do just fine."

For nearly half of her life, a 98-year-old longtime tenant lived in her San Francisco apartment. No more – the elderly woman faces eviction after the landlord is looking to sell the property to take advantage of San Fran's real estate upturn. Critics say what the landlord is doing is unconscionable, backers say this is simply your conventional capitalist uptick.
For 98-year-old Mary Phillips, she just wants to stay put – much like Carl Fredricksen from "Up" – except she can't simply tie a gaggle of balloons like geese to her apartment complex and float it to Paradise Falls.
"I've been very happy here," Phillips said. "I've always paid my rent, I've never been late."
Reports the Huffington Post: "Protesters gathered Wednesday at the offices of the building's owners, Urban Green Investments, in support of Phillips. They're calling for an end to the rising number of evictions under the Ellis Act, which allows landlords to evict tenants, temporarily shut down a rental property and then sell it at a profit."
Urban Green is not responding to requests from the media, leaving their back very much exposed to the barbs being lobbed by social media. No matter – we're just doing to them in kind. That is, giving them a verbal boot. At least it's not a literal kick to the curb.
Phillips, God bless her, is hunkering down for a fight.
"I didn't sit down and cry, I just refused to believe it. They're going to have to take me out of here feet first," the Dolores Street apartment tenant said. "Just because of your age, don't let people push you around.
Activists have taken the step to post the landlord's contact information and are lobbying to support Phillips. Examiner also reached out to Urban Green today, and, like the others, we got nada.
Per HuffPost:
"Feel free to let Urban Green CEO David McCloskey, who's evicting her, know what you think, ask him how he sleeps at night and if he'd put his grandmother on the streets," a message on the Vanishings Facebook page reads, along with contact information: email@example.com and the phone number (415) 651-4441.
The San Francisco Tenants Union has been notified and they are fighting for Phillips.

Pity the poor Oscar host or hostess. Every year a gifted comic performer has to be cajoled into hosting the Academy Awards. If they do their job well, they tend to receive, at best, praise for not screwing up or being 'tame'. If they do their job poorly, as David Letterman and Seth McFarlane, they go down infamy for having violated the dignity of the evening.
The Academy Awards have been broadcast on television for more than six decades. And while the audience for the evening has expanded with every succeeding year, the critical response has been deflating with each successive host. I have seen the best comic minds of my generation driven to madness trying to figure out how to do it well, and any event that reduces such luminaries as Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, and, as was the case this year, Ellen DeGeneres to shells of their typical selves, would surely confirm that there is something severely wrong with the entire process.
The Oscars say that they want to appeal to the hip and young demographic, but every halting step they take towards that generally falls against the fundamental demand that the evening being nothing short of a strokefest. When Chris Rock tried to pop the balloon that the Academy inflated by asking moviegoers if they had actually seen the nominated movies, everybody in the audience squirmed. When Jon Stewart made a timid joke after one of the tiring montages that barrage us ever as to how shallow those montages were, everybody laughed uncomfortably. God knows how everybody in the audience felt when McFarlane tried a decidedly modest version of his dark satiric act last year.
The problem that every Oscar host has is that he or she must play to two separate audiences--- the one in the theater and the one at home, and, while the latter is far more important,, the former gives the host instant feedback, mainly if you're doing something wrong. In the twenty plus years I've been watching the only hosts who've been able to respond to the former have been Billy Crystal and Steve Martin, and both of those comedians are 'too old' to appeal to the demographic that the Academy wants to track.
This leads, indirectly, to the other problem the Academy has been trying to solve for the last ten years--- making their nominated films more relevant. And that seems to be one they are determined to make worse, and they have only themselves to blame for that.
For decades, the Academy Awards have been pilloried for not nominated many types of films--- comedies, horror movies, action films--- but they all had one theme--- movies people actually saw, as opposed to the films that the Oscars thinks are worthy of their statues. There was damn near an armed revolt in 2008, when the Oscars nominated Frost/Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button instead of The Dark Knight and Wall-E for Best Picture. So the Academy compromised and doubled the number of nominated films per year.
But that only intensified the problem. The Oscars had their highest rated show in a decade, but it was because the highest-grossing move in history Avatar was nominated for Best Picture. The fact that it lost to The Hurt Locker, a film that barely grossed $11 million, is the Academy's problem in a nutshell---- they think only the smaller 'serious' movies are the only one worthy to take the stage. Two years, one of the highest grossing films of the year, Bridesmaids, was considered a front-runner for a Best Picture nominated. They went for the safer comedy Midnight in Paris instead.
The Academy has spent the last forty years convincing the world that box-office and critical acclaim are two separate standards. It is impossible to convince the average Academy member that The Avengers is as worthy of Oscar consideration as Beasts of the Southern Wild. But as long as the age of the voter is twice that of the average movie-goer, then we're probably going to have more years like this one, so the Academy will do what it always does--- focus on cosmetic changes rather than systemic ones. But that's Hollywood.
