He pauses before he picks up the phone. ''Should I call Sabean first?'' he's asking himself; the answer, also provided by himself, is no. As Beane calls Steve Phillips, Paul reappears. ''Billy,'' he says, ''you might also ask for Duncan. What can they say? He's hitting .217.''
''Who would we rather have, Garcia or Duncan?'' Beane asks.
The Mets' secretary answers before DePodesta. Beane leans back and smiles. ''Denise,'' he says, ''Billy Beane, vice president and general manager of the Oakland Athletics. Denise, who is the coolest G.M. in the game?'' Pause. ''Right again, Denise.''
When he was a young man, Billy Beane could beat anyone at anything, and often did. As a freshman in high school, Beane was the quarterback on the football team and later the high scorer on the basketball team; but it was on the baseball field that he truly excelled. By his junior year he was 6-foot-4, 180 pounds, and his high-school diamond was infested with major league scouts. In the first big game after Beane came to the attention of baseball scouts, he pitched a two-hitter, stole four bases and hit three triples. He encouraged strong feelings in the older men who were paid to imagine what kind of pro ballplayer a young man might become.
The boy had a body you could dream on: ramrod straight and lean but not so lean you couldn't imagine him filling out. And that face! Beneath an unruly mop of dark brown hair, the boy had the sharp features that the scouts loved. In the late 1970's, when Beane was coming of age, some scouts still believed they could tell by the structure of a young man's face not only his character but also his future in pro ball. They had a phrase they used: ''the Good Face.'' Beane had the Good Face.
What the scouts failed to notice is what happened when things did not go well for Beane on the field: a wall came down between him and his talent, and he didn't know any other way to get through the wall than to try to smash a hole in it. The moment Billy failed, he went looking for something to break. It wasn't merely that he didn't like to fail; it was as if he didn't know how to fail. The scouts never considered this. By the end of Beane's senior year the only question they had about Beane was, Can I get him? And the answer was a firm no. Beane insisted that he didn't want to play pro ball; he wanted to go to Stanford on a joint football and baseball scholarship. But the New York Mets took him in the first round anyway, one thing led to another and Beane took the $125,000 offered by the Mets. He appeased his mother (and his conscience) by telling her (and himself) he would attend classes at Stanford during the off-season.
Stanford disagreed. When the admissions office learned that Beane would not be playing sports for Stanford, they told him that he was no longer welcome in Stanford's classrooms. ''Dear Mrs. Beane,'' read the letter from the Stanford dean of admissions, Fred A. Hargadon, ''we are withdrawing Billy's admission. . . . I do wish him every success, both with his professional career in baseball and with his alternate plans for continuing his education.''
Only there were no plans. One day Beane could have been anything; the next he was just another minor-league baseball player, and not even a rich one. On the advice of a family friend, Billy's parents invested on their son's behalf his entire $125,000 bonus in a real-estate partnership that promptly went bust.
It got worse. In his first year of pro ball, Billy Beane hit .210. He didn't know how to think of himself if he couldn't think of himself as a success. His second full season, in the Double A Texas League, he played alongside Darryl Strawberry and hit .220; Strawberry was named the league's most valuable player. Beane spent a lot of hours in the outfield dwelling on Strawberry's heroics and on his own failure. ''That was the first year I really questioned if I'd made the right decision to sign,'' Beane says.
Strawberry presented one kind of problem for Billy; Lenny Dykstra presented another. Beane and Dykstra lived together and played side by side in minor-league outfields for nearly two years, beginning in 1984. That year both were invited to the Mets' big-league spring training camp. Dykstra thought of himself and Beane as two buddies racing together down the same track, but Beane sensed fundamental differences between them. Physically, Dykstra didn't belong in the same league with him. He was half Beane's size and had a fraction of Beane's promise. But mentally, Dykstra was superior. Beane remembers sitting with Dykstra in a Mets dugout watching the opposing pitcher warm up. ''Lenny says, 'So who's that big dummy out there on the hill?' And I say: 'Lenny, you're kidding me, right? That's Steve Carlton. He's maybe the greatest left-hander in the history of the game.' Lenny says: 'Oh, yeah! I knew that!' He sits there for a minute and says, 'So, what's he got?' And I say: 'Lenny, come on. Steve Carlton. He's got heat and also maybe the nastiest slider ever.' And Lenny sits there for a while longer as if he's taking that in. Finally he just says, 'I'll stick him.' ''

Ah, look at those pretty fall col--ah, well, back indoors for some games!
Last time, I left off at the start of the fall gaming season. For whatever reason—more free time, more variety of systems (360 and DS) or really more games overall—there just seemed to be a lot of games that I wanted to try this fall, if not completely immerse myself in them. I made it a goal to at least try a few of them (via LoveFilm aka Netflix or Gamefly in the US) but even then I've yet to try a lot of the big games at this point!
To get them out of the way, I picked up both Dragon Quest IV and Sonic Chronicles (though Chronicles was an xmas pres, though). I'm about 13 hours into DQIV, and while I'm pretty into it, only now did I start realizing how much grinding is involved in that game. Two years ago, I played through DQVIII and logged in just over a hundred hours (105, I think, by my count) and while I doubt I'll end up doing that with this game, I wouldn't be surprised to actually hit 30 or 40 at least; strangely, the Torneko chapter took up about half of those 13 hours alone, although I was a bit lost and confused when I started that one...I don't remember how many days I actually worked at the shop before finally saying, "screw it", and setting off to adventure, leaving my responsibility behind.
I'd like to talk more about Sonic Chronicles but really, outside of popping it in to see how it plays, I really haven't touched it yet. A lot of publications seem to be just 'meh' on it, so I'm hoping that they're all wrong, Mr. Ryan Scott!. The Mario RPG comparison he's made intrigues me, even if I don't think that game has aged too, too well.
An 'A'? Really? Even with Sonic's Shitty Friends (TM Shane Bettenhausen)?
As for games that I would've liked to have played on DS this fall? Really, the only one I care about is Chrono Trigger, which, 5 out of 10 times, I'd say is my favourite game of all time, flat-out. I still have my old SNES cart at the 'rents place, with all characters at max level (I lost track of how many playthroughs that took); too bad the battery probably killed all that progress now, but soooo many memories! Only reason I haven't picked it up here is, well, it's not out in the UK until Feb. Boooooo!!! And it was never really released here; double booooo—hence the confusing conversation I had with a labmate who thought I was talking about StarFox (???), which apparently is called 'Lylat Wars' here. But I digress.
For the PS3, I ended up playing fewer games on it than I thought, and admittedly that's primarily due to me buying a game that I would've picked up for PS3 last year (or even this summer) on the 360 instead. The prime reasons are really cause I want to use up that damn 120 GB on the Elite and that well, the 360 is pretty new to me; simple enough, n'est-ce pas? The other reason is really cause the PS3 I'm using is my American 60 GB, and I'm always afraid that the converter I'm using will explode while playing it it, destroying the PS3, so I want to use the thing as little as possible to be honest (although a friend from Canada is sending me Rock Band 2 so that's going to be a bit of a problem).
I've already talked about some of the games I played on PS3 this year, including two fall biggies, SSF2THDR and Wipeout HD. (I should explain that I got the PS3 version of SF cause I prefer the PS3 pad over the 360 for fighters, particularly with the d-pad, and I'm too cheapo to get a proper arcade stick to begin with) But there were at least two major exclusives (in my mind anyway) that I was really pumped to try on PS3.
First, and a tragedy in more ways than one, is Valkyria Chronicles. It's a tragedy in terms of sales, so I don't mean it a tragedy in so much that it sucks of course. The more personal tragedy involves me not really playing the thing yet: I only picked it up in mid-December, so I was away on vacation soon after and there was the surprisingly busy xmas/new year's week. I played through a bit of the demo a few months ago, although, even before then, I knew I was going to pick up the game anyway. The graphics, for one, made it enticing already—I'm a mega-fan of cel-shading. Also, I'm really hoping to find a successor to Dragon Force on Saturn, which, on another 3 out of those 10 times, I'd say is my fave of all time. I'm not too worried that I'll completely forget about it, though, as the lull of the next couple of months will hopefully give me some time to play (although I say this before the next research phase starts up again at school).
Has nothing to do with that band in Guitar Hero. Although this is probably what one of their album covers looks like, I imagine.
What I'll also have time to play in the coming weeks, hopefully, is LittleBigPlanet. I really didn't get caught up in the hype for this game, and wasn't really looking forward to it; I didn't really care that game publications and sites heaped such praise for it over E3, I was a little skeptical about how supposedly easy creating your levels is going to be and while I like the idea of what's essentially a make-your-own-game, the fact that it's a sidescrolling platformer didn't help, too; I was never really a big fan of those. So what's a gamer to do? Well, at least rent it.
While it didn't blow me away necessarily, I found it to be a rather enjoyable game. Sure, there are things I didn't like—I never got used to the floaty controls (how many times have I slipped and fallen right into an electrified floor) and the life limit annoyed me to no end—but it was a really, really delightful game. It didn't take long for me to smile while playing through a few of the early levels, and while it does get a bit harder at the end, I very rarely got upset enough to not want to try again for some reason (and you can just play a level online and have a stranger help you finish that level, which I did for the last boss the first time through anyway). Not everyone will be enamoured with it, but I kept an open mind and just lost myself in the actual single player levels. I thought Media Molecule also did a good job with the little touches that ultimately counted, ie. having your sackboy do different faces and gestures, plus the soundtrack is great, too ('Get It Together' is what 'Heavenly Star' was for me in '06). Sure, these don't really affect the gameplay, but it's the game's less without 'em, really.
Now would I make my own levels? Well, I'm hoping I will; it's why I bought the thing on Amazon (I think I paid 22 quid, whereas normal price is 39) even though I played through single player already. Still, going through that tutorial has been daunting, and I've yet to find the desire to expend the effort to match my imagination (even if there's not much of that to begin with). At the very least, there'll always be a few levels to try every once in a while—and certainly paid costume DLC to not download! Uh, no I will not pay real money for a virtual costume for my character, especially when I've yet to unlock all of those in the game I bought (ranting about unlocking stuff is another topic for another day, though).
Unless Sony or Capcom actually send me these as real sackboys, nyegh!
On the 360 front, my fall started off with a bit of a whimper with Viva Pinata: TIP. I've been really hyped to try series and while it hasn't been bad, I've had a hard time really getting to grips with its intricacies. I end up focusing on one thing too much at a time although I have been progressing steadily the last few times I've popped it in. I really want to give it a really solid shot soon though and will probably book a day in the near future for it.
I also ended up renting Tomb Raider Underworld, Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge. I didn't really get a chance to get into both TRU and PoP—I honestly started TRU and that underwater stage made me quickly remember why I really, really am not a fan of these adventure-exploration-puzzle games, or at least I have to be really in the mood for them. Made me really glad to have just rented that. PoP fared just a bit better, and I'm still considering actually purchasing it (it's on sale now everywhere, it seems), but the game's easy level of difficulty (I mean more about the Quicktime-y gameplay; I don't mind the Elika-saving-thing, which saves a lot of time wasted on reloading screens) made it surprisingly less fun, even though at this stage of my gaming career, easy is what I'm looking for! I honestly can't tell however, how significant the purported easy level of play affected my enjoyment; if I like easy, why wouldn't I like this game? Something to explore in a future play session, mayhaps. Maybe I'll try both of these games another time, but I'm thankful I opted to just rent these two, particularly Lara's latest.
So I also rented Mirror's Edge (and finished it), mostly only due to the reports that it was somewhat short, even if short isn't a bad thing of course (short and awesome is always better than long and dragging-on). I finished it playing casually for about 3 days but had an absolute blast with it. I'm embarrassed to say I'm pretty sure I gasped a few times when Faith made her leaps, actually; I thought DICE did as good a job as any of really immersing me into a game, particularly from a first-person viewpoint. Like what many have said, the actual running parts are easily the best and most exhilarating bits, and I thought the game did a great job giving the illusion of letting you freerun you and yet actually limiting you to where it wanted you to go. This is just the real free-running bits, though, and many of the slower, indoor parts can be really dull.
The puzzles aren't too-too bad and there were really only a couple of times where I had to spend more than 4 or 5 times doing retries, really, but they still detracted enough from the experience; indeed, those '4 or 5 times' involved a couple of jumps that I swear must've taken 20 cracks, at least. The story was derivative and made it seem too obvious that this is just the first part of the larger arc, so that really, really feels unfortunately tacked-on. I have no regrets spending time on it, and while again, I'm glad I played through it, I'm also ok with not actually purchasing it, although we'll see how the DLC shapes up. Still, overall (and I admit to being a part of the problem), it is a shame that sales of this game are horrible. Sorry, DICE, but maybe if you did come out during the summer lull, I would've been happy to spend more money. *cue Price is Right losing horn here*
"The internal adjective used for Mirror's Edge, in
terms of how it did, is 'disaster.'"
– Jeff Green, GWJ Conference Call Dec 17, 2008
Back to a game I actually bought, though; here's one that, perhaps unsurprisingly, has been the game that I'm still playing, NBA 2K9. I've always had a soft spot for sports games and love setting up a season or especially a franchise mode, and while I took a surprisingly long while to really get into this one (I was afraid I made a mistake and wanted to send it back to the shop, and just stick with 2K8)I've since been in the groove and am happy that I do think it's improved enough over last year's, even if I'd be hard-pressed to articulate exactly why (so I can't say I recommend everyone upgrade from last year's version, truthfully). The graphics are tons better and the controls are a little more accessible, I suppose; hell, I'm actually using the shot stick now. I've taken the Suns through a couple of seasons; I've completely overhauled the team, though--out went Nash, Amare et al, and in went Derrick Rose, Rudy Gay, Rudy Fernandez, Durant, Pau Gasol and the Lopez twins. I'm still only 4 mill over my cap, with these locked up for at least 4 seasons each! *sigh* Bah you don't care, do you?
Anyway, so while I have what I call my "in-between" games ready to go for the fall—ie. games that I can play in short bursts—I need my long-term games that these tweeners can break up, of course. While I find that I can't play through multiple games at once, I like breaking up my playtime of adventure games and RPGs with smaller sessions like a few rounds of Street Fighter or, well, NBA 2K9.
So what was my main course games for the season (I'm mixing up my metaphors, I know)? There were actually a few, including Left 4 Dead. I haven't played online, but a lot of that is honestly due to me being pretty damn sucky at FPS. And oh yeah, my free XBL trial expired and I just haven't bothered to jump back in. So I've been playing it split screen with one of my neighbours (who thankfully has a massive TV compared to my 19-incher...*sigh*, I miss my TV back in CA) and having a lot of fun with it. I love the AI director and how it's never the same experience twice as well; I do think that Left 4 Dead is one massive experiment by Valve though, both in the team play and especially the dynamic AI. They're a great fit in a decidedly multiplayer game, but I'd love to see these two innovations in their next games. I'd really, really be surprised if the concept of the AI director (ie. just the fact that it's never the same playthrough) in a single player, story-based game, like maybe as soon as Half Life Ep 3. I'm not sure if it would necessarily work in a heavily-scripted experience, however, but I'm really hoping Valve gets to use this somehow in other properties.
I've yet to finish L4D, though, and I'm just taking a little break (I left the game at my neighbour Andrew's since I went away for vacay and I just haven't bothered to go back yet). In the meantime, I'm trying to get back into Fallout 3, which I originally bought at launch (oh, I picked up the lunchbox special ed, too, cause I'm a sucker for that). I've barely, BARELY scratched the surface of the game. At this point, I've really just started exploring Megaton, the first settlement, and it really hasn't sunk its hooks into me yet.
Hmmm...to explode or not explode?
It's not that the game's terrible, though, and I had the same sense of progression when I played through Oblivion; and even though I didn't 'beat' Oblivion, I played through a couple of the guild quest lines and felt satisfied enough to stop then. This game is easily my priority to play through this month; however, I admit it—I thought this was going to be my priority game of the fall, but it didn't turn out to be the case.
The reason? I ended up playing what eventually became my personal game of the year before it. I'll talk about that next blog but needless to say, it's a game that set up the biggest gaming cock-block in recent memory—uh, I'll expand on that concept next time, too. It's a little bit of a polarizing pick, I admit (bit of a giveaway at this point) and I did not expect to even enjoy this game coming in. Still, I've poured more hours into it than I thought, and I haven't even touched multiplayer...
Until next time, thanks for reading, as always!
Oh, and I hope everyone had a good holidays and have a wonderful new year!
I thought it would be harder for me to say this as a Pats fan (spare your venom, haters), but it is well-deserved so congrats for winning the MVP award, Peyton Manning. That guy's pretty good...

a1 Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
a2 Queensland University of Technology, Australia. email@example.com
Refugees from Sudan are the fastest growing community in Australia. Australian mental health professionals have to be prepared to offer services to this ethnic group along with the other mainstream and diverse consumers. In order to offer culturally competent services, these mental health professionals are required to be familiar with this emerging community. As such, a review was undertaken with two main goals. Firstly, the review aimed to educate Australian mental health professionals about the demographics and culture of Sudan, the traumas encountered as a result of the civil war, factors leading to massive exodus and the difficulties of the transit and postmigration phase. Secondly, the review intended to inform Australian mental health professionals about the possible acculturation stress that is manifested in the form of intergeneration and role conflict and marital difficulties. The review highlights limitations on the number of studies addressing acculturation stress of Sudanese refugees and even fewer on the impact it has on relationships. Future research directions are discussed.

Skip to comments.THE SAVAGE NATION RETURNS!!!!!! 10-23-12
Posted on 10/23/2012 5:51:14 PM PDT by dynachrome
(Excerpt) Read more at michaelsavage.wnd.com ...
This infidel will be tuning in.
Streaming here. Groucho on now.
Welcome back Doc!
Prolly not gonna stay on thread. FR seems to be choking and throwing up.
FR almost frozen. Barely got the thread posted.
If you want to start an exclusive Michael Savage forum thread you are welcome to at http://www.TheMichaelSavage.com/forums
I figured he'd go after Romney for not going after Barry more and being too nice.
Doc must have a lot of pent up energy after being off so long.
Thanks for posting the link....
Glad to have Savage back.
He shouldn't knock romney, I think he did a good job-very presidential.
Armchair quarter back? bleh
now is the not the time to BASH ROMNEY!
dang, he could do a bit of damage being this way.
I tuned in a few minutes late. Didn't hear his intro about being back. That said, it's strange tonight so far. Can't put my finger on it.
What a bad night for FR to go flaky on us! Just added the keyword talkradio, barely able to.
Savage has a new call-in number,
1-855-400-SAVAGE, i.e.,
Also some of his bumper music sounds altered. And the guy doing the voice of "The Savage Nation" sounds like the man who once did the deep voice of Coast To Coast.
He's back and he's still tiresome. It's just an act to pitch product. Savage is the Dusty Rhodes of today. If you listen for more than ten minutes you're made of stronger stuff than me.
Thanks for keeping the thread alive !
Do you know the radio station in the Phoenix area? I'm listening on live streaming, can't find a local station.
Savage mentioned WHAM 1180 in Rochester NY, does anyone know of any other stations in the tri-state area that has Savage?
One would think Cumulus would provide a list of the 100 stations that are broadcasting Savage. Is there such a list online?
" FR almost frozen. Barely got the thread posted."
Is there a debate tonight I didn't know about ? lol
Nha , it's Obama's fault . ; )
It does seem strange you are right...
I wonder if can do 3 hours a day?
It does seem strange you are right...
I wonder if can do 3 hours a day?
It does seem strange you are right...
I wonder if can do 3 hours a day?
dang sorry for the three post-FR is choppy today
Streaming Radio Guide seems to be piecing a list together of Cumulus stations carrying Savage. Searching for him there yields this:
there isn't one. i looked at cumulus. ksfo for me.
Good to hear Savage!
I don't know. I assume he negotiated for a day off a week. :)
It sounds like his third hour is live, do you agree, I can't fully tell. Thanks for that link. If indeed Savage is on for three live hours it would be like the old days and a refreshing change from the canned third hour.
Sounds like that 3rd hour is actually on-the-fly, live. He's not doing pre-recorded stuff like reading what's on his site nor taped interviews (thus far.)
Though he's doing something he said talk show personalities ought never do, i.e., read on the air.
Thanks. Heard him say something about being on 100 channels. Maybe this area will be added soon.
He has an excuse.."I just didn't know . . . ."
Monday, July 19, 2010 - Unbelievable! CBS's Bob Schieffer: I Didn't Ask Holder About Black Panther Case Because 'I Just Didn't Know About It' (3 min. video Schieffer 'splains to Fox reporter)
(I am late posting this..earlier in the show Michael said several times that Schiefrer didn't ask about important issues. Earthlink had some problems. The first time in years I had to call them. They handled it pretty well.. admitting the problem and the step that we subscribers had to do. So far so good.)
If you are referring to Savage himself -- it may be because he sounds like what I remember of the younger, original Savage from the years when he was on KSFO in the 1990s.
It may be.. he left C2C and is with Red Eye, also a Cumulus program I believe.
Yep, i was referring to Savage. Tonight is, for lack of better words, an attract-a-new audience night. Kind of a smorgasbord. Maybe he had a "Rockstar" or two before going on air. (humor attempt)
Maybe, Cumulus only has 5 stations listed in AZ. All in Tucson. I wish he'd provide free podcasts like Levin does.
KSFO has its 7-day archives,
This could be a "free" way to get podcasts of Savage during the week, looking for his 6PM to 9PM Pacific slot.
Great, thanks!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Thomas Trevino's girlfriend has died and now the former fugitive is facing first degree murder charges.
According to NBC affiliate KTVB-TV, Jill Gelever died last Thursday, the day Trevino agreed to be extradited back to Idaho after being found in Grand Junction.
Trevino led authorities on a county-wide manhunt after Idaho investigators tracked him via cell phone signal to Grand Junction.
Idaho authorities say Trevino shot Gelever in the head July 5 at a hotel in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Dear American Girl,
Gymnastics is one of my favorite things to do. But every time I try a new move, I choke. I'm afraid that I'll do it wrong or look clumsy in front of my friends. I want to improve as a gymnast, but my nervousness is holding me back. How can I get over my fear of failing?
-Nervous gymnast
Here's your advice:
When you try a new move, imagine that no one is watching you. You might be surprised by how well you do! That trick helps me a lot in figure skating, and it could help you in gymnastics, too.
-Heather, age 12, Georgia
Think of it this way—this is probably the first time your friends are learning the move, too, so they might be just as nervous as you. You're probably not alone in your jitters!
-Sarah, age 11, Tennessee
Talk to your gymnastics coach. Tell her about your nervousness, and ask if she can give you extra help for difficult moves.
-Maria, age 10, Illinois
Before you try a move, think about something that makes you happy, such as your puppy giving you a kiss or going for a walk in a pretty park. Thinking about something cheerful might calm your nerves.
-Annie, age 9, Tennessee
You've already said the solution: "Gymnastics is one of my favorite things to do." If you love to do it, who cares what your friends think? During practice, focus on yourself. There will be plenty of time for friends outside of gymnastics.
-Bria, age 11, Wisconsin
If you do make a mistake, crack a joke. Say, "Don't try this at home," or, "Wow, I'm so graceful!" Being able to laugh at yourself is a great way to show off your confidence.
-Alex, age 12, New York
Hardly anyone does something perfectly on her first try. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, and allow yourself to make mistakes. That's the best way to learn how to do something!
-Tessa, age 10, Florida
Stand still for a second before trying a move. Take a deep breath and imagine yourself doing the flip and landing it perfectly before a cheering crowd. Then, go for it! Positive thinking can have a big impact on how well you perform.
-Alexis, age 11, Ohio
I'm in gymnastics, and I used to be really scared to try new moves. My friend told me to imagine that I was a famous gymnast. I ended up doing a lot better! I hope this tip will help you, too.
-Selena, age 12, Washington
Maybe you should try out your moves outside of gymnastics practice. Perform a couple of moves in front of family, friends, or even your stuffed animals. By the time you get to practice, you might be feeling a lot more comfortable. Just be sure to try the moves in an area that's open and safe.
-Rachel, age 11, Wisconsin
Don't doubt your abilities. If you think I'm going to fail before doing a backflip, you have a bigger chance of doing badly. If you think I can do this, then you will probably do better.
-Rory, age 12, Michigan
Ask a gymnastics pal to give you some pointers. Is your leg in the wrong position? Are you not putting your arms above your head correctly? Believe it or not, it might be just one thing (not a million things) that's preventing you from performing a perfect move!
-Sonya, age 11, Wisconsin
I'll let you in on a secret—to get better at something, you have to make mistakes. It's the only way you'll learn. Just be free and let go of your fear of failure.
-Kamiya, age 12, Washington
When I have to give a big speech or perform in a recital, I imagine that the whole audience is standing up and cheering for me. It really boosts my confidence!
-Heaven, age 11, Texas
Don't focus on what you can't do—focus on what you can do. You might discover that you can do more than you think you can, which could give you a nice big boost of confidence. As long as you practice and keep a smile on your face, you'll do great!
-Leah, age 13, New Jersey
I recently had a piano recital. I was really scared and I messed up a few times. After watching the whole recital on video, I realized that everyone messed up— even my piano teacher! Everyone makes mistakes. No one's perfect, so just be yourself and give it your best.
-Paige, age 12, Utah

Safeway was insurance company of the driver at fault. Should have known we would have a problem when the officer writing the report wished us luck. Apparently Safeway has a bad reputation.
Safeway adjusters were very intimidating, couldn't understand how some of the damage happened and then refusing to pay for damage.
Called for a rental car, it's been days without a callback.
No way to talk to a person, it's all automated answering, ringing extensions, no answers, leaving messages and no return calls.
People of Georgia, stay away from this Company.

Also having difficulty with Safeway
AUTHOR: CMS_GA - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 03, 2012POSTED: Friday, August 03, 2012
I am also having some difficulty communicating with the representative. I am leaving messages and they return the message later in the day when I am not available. I assumed maybe I am picking their lunch hour, but it didn't matter what time I called.
My insurance adjuster and a body mechanic have estimated costs higher than the Safeway adjuster. I am still in the process of disputing their estimate. I left a message saying my estimates do not agree, what should I do next? I get a message back saying they need a declaration page of my insurance before they send a check. So, I have to leave another message...and the days keep adding up.
I am about two months after the accident and I have gotten no where.

Swedes can't find their stroke at Gothenburg Invite

Gothenburg placed 13th with a team score of 423.

By Nancy Gould, Hunter Public AffairsMarch 26, 2009
HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD, Ga. Clear skies and cool morning air was the perfect backdrop for Hunter Army Airfield's first Shamrock 5K Fun-Run, March 21, the first day of spring. More than 120 participants, some pushing baby carriages, gathered at Squires Parking Lot to register and for pre-run warm up and stretches before the 9 a.m. walk/run.
Participants consisted of children and adults; many out for the morning to have fun with their Family Members and others hoped to take home a trophy.
"I love the atmosphere and doing something active," said Sgt. Ramiro Garrido, 703 Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division. Garrido came with wife, Casey, and their one-year-old terrier, Sophie.
"My husband came to run with me," said Casey, admitting that as an inexperienced runner her primary goal was just to complete the race.
Command Sergeant Major Patrick Blair, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, ran with wife, Rhonda, and their daughters, Lindsey and Sidney.
"For us it's Family time," said Blair.
But for Rhonda and Sidney it was that and more.
"We're the competitive ones in the Family," Rhonda said. "We want to win."
Also competitive is the race's first-place overall winner, Sgt. Timothy Insley, 260th Quartermaster Battalion, 3rd Sustainment Brigade. His goal was to finish in 17 minutes, 30 seconds. He said he was pleased with his 17 minute, 20-second finish, especially since this was his first run after three weeks of nursing an achilles' injury.
"I wanted to win smoothly (without too much stress) coming off this injury," Insley said.
The Shamrock race was not Insley's first win. For the last two consecutive years, he represented Fort Stewart-Hunter in the Army Ten-Miler, a Morale, Welfare and Recreation fundraiser that supports programs for Soldiers and their Families held annually in Washington, D.C.
The first-place female winner was Capt. Emily Potter, a U.S. Army Forces Central Command Soldier on leave from Kuwait. She took second overall with a time of 18 minutes, 34 seconds. Her husband, a Fort Bragg Special Operations Command Soldier, greeted her at the finish line and the two left immediately for Beaufort, S.C., where Potter would compete in her second race of the day.
At the conclusion of the race, Eli Wilson, Tominac Fitness Center director who organized the event, presented awards to the top three finishers in each age category.
A special award was given to Spc. Joseph Volz, 603rd Aviation Support Battalion, CAB, for wearing the most festive St. Patrick's Day attire during the fun-run. He accepted a certificate for a one-night stay for two from the Inn at Ellis Square in Savannah, along with complimentary cocktails, in the huge green cowboy hat that he wore while running.
"This was the first run I've organized," said Wilson, adding that he is planning another race for the fall. "I think everyone who participated had fun; that's what we wanted."

A Canadian rock band that got its start in 1997 when founding members Olivier Benoit and Simon Proulx got together, Les Trois Accords released their first album, Gros Mammouth Album, in 2003. A deluxe edition of that album, Gros Mammouth Album Turbo, hit shelves in 2004, and contained two bonus tracks not on the original release. In 2005, the band hit a high when it was an opening act for the Rolling Stones. Although the group's membership has changed during its career, the leadership of Benoit has kept the band going, and in 2006 Les Trois Accords released their second successful album, Grand Champion International de Course. ~ Chris True

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
It's been a long time coming but impetuous Mars finally overtakes authoritative Saturn today, freeing us from the restraints of responsibility. Although obligations must still be fulfilled, they don't weigh as heavily on us now. Additionally, the Moon's shift from grounded Taurus into whimsical Gemini at 7:39 pm EDT reaffirms our optimism. However, we must rely on the most useful information, even if we believe that more data leads to more options.

I didn't listen to my neighbor when he warned me about this schmuck, and went against my gut when my wife asked for this system. We listened to that stupid sales p**** insted, and got that. Call after call I asked for this to be fixed. Nothing. Now keep in mind I was in beautiful Mobile AL for some time, so I wasn't THAT d*** far for the jackass to come fix his joke of a system. And when they did send someone, I got a rude jerk with somekind of a hillbilly accent and no tact that was in and out in 2 minutes, didn't bother to answer questions, and sped off in his silver box he called a truck. That was the last i got for help.
That's just the service part of my beef with these morons. Now here's some truth too. I checked out what some people were saying about this d****ebag, and here's what I heard. 1) he rips off and steals from his employees. Yeah, he dicks with their checks and lies repeatedly. 2) the moron treats women like their toys. When he's used abused and screwed them and finishes, he just casts them out like trash. 3) every word (And I mean every d*** word) he says is a frakin lie. Bottom line, Don't trust this company for ANYTHING. I'm glad we moved. Check out the reports about him stealing other companys turf and such. You'll see. When the wife and I moved here to NC, we decided to try (((Redacted))) and haven't had any kind of an issue. So word to the wise and warning to everyone. Stick with (((Redacted))) and others, stay away from these sleezeballs in the florida panhandle and whatever you do- don't do any kind of buisness with that scumbag. It's not worth the time, headaches or money you'll spend just to get away from it. If they show up, ask for their permit, and when they fail to show one call the effin police. If you see that sleezeball murphy directly, just call the d*** cops. That loser needs to spend a few months being bubbas b****. That's all he deserves.
Yours truely, a very unhappy ex customer.

2000 Volkswagen EuroVan GLS 3dr Minivan
Let me start by saying I love this van. We are a camping and bike racing family, and we love the utility, comfort and space. HOWEVER - the HVAC system, which I replaced outside of warranty, has been a problem. 5 dealer visits in 18 months, and the error code for the HVAC just started flashing again - so I guess 6 visits (expensive ones) in 18 months. Other problems (electronic mostly) have also cropped up making this the most expensive vehicle to keep on the road I have ever owned. And this is in the first 80,000 miles.
Size - 4x8 sheet of wood - inside, with the door closed. Power - gets on with it very nicely for the size. Driving comfort - 2 2000+ mile trips taken in it - great road trip vehicle
Reliability. This thing has been an expensive baby with a short warranty period.
We have owned two Eurovans. The first
van was and 1992 and fairly good. It
was reliabe. However, this one was
Our 2000 has been outstanding. Except
for the air-conditioning, we have had
absolutely no problems. In addition,
this Eurovan is exceptionally quick and
fun to drive. It may seem impossible,
but the big ole Eurovan is more agile
than some cars I have owned. We are a
5 people family and highly recommend
this vehicle to anyone; a great van
Room, comfort, ride, and fairly good

Well this is a fairly big pain in the ass that has cost me a few hours of work over the past month or two. If you are in the middle of writing a comment reply and then switch windows to say skype and then type a message there and then with the skype window focused you press escape to close it it will also close the comment reply box deleting everything you just typed up.
I am using Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04 so I Am not sure if this is something that is also screwed up in windows.

What's the bigger issue at play? That there are people who feel entitled to a spot or that there are people who assault other people over pride, these things aren't new. The guy who held the grudge is a coward for waiting and for using his board. He will get his I'm sure. However, I have no sympathy for people who break one set of rules and then expect another set to protect them. Surfing is dangerous, strangers are dangerous(stranger danger), and every time you engage in dangerous activities with potentially dangerous people you should be prepared for...wait for it...
Danger. Shame on the victim for not being ready and protecting himself at all times especially when he partakes in dropping in on people. The blood from his wound could've drawn sharks and created a potential nightmare for someone else, now that would have been tragic. I have already wasted too much time on someone else's problems, his lack of self defense and your emotional struggle so I will leave you with this..
If I ever seen someone do that in person I would drag them to the beach and beat them, even if they missed. And One Eyed Mark will be fine, he's already a sea captain which transfers over to piracy quite well.
Thank you

Thread: surf rage
no matter how "in" this guy is with the crowd in the lineup.... intentionally attacking someone in a way that has life altering effects is not justifiable. This guy wins the pYssy of the year award.
I'm sure some random who hears about it is gonna thrash this guy in the name of good. Either on the beach, in the parky lot or at a bar, people like that always get what's coming to them.

I've never tried w/ one eye SCREWB, but I'm always wearing my contacts in the water and have had that same experience after losing one...and it does suck. I mean it'd be far from ideal, and an uneven tradeoff, but a small silver lining.
And Johnny, I know I'd be that much more nervous if I dropped in on a dude w/ an eyepatch.

I'm being very philosophical today because I just found out an old surf bud just passed. He was the angry local who kept the lineup free of strangers for a decade in deeds, and another decade from reputation long after he stopped surfing. He would confront jetskiiers and helped keep the lineup free of them for awhile. My friend, who grew up surfing and partying with us, upon learning of his passing, said and I quote "The world is a better place without him". Cold. But something to ponder.

Torres back to LFC..
I was at SB last night and for the first time I sensed the Chelsea crowd not giving him their full support. We didn't ever expect him to lord it over Drogba and it was fine he could have some time to settle in. But it's been two years now and he's had a clear run this season. Last night was his 100th game for us and he has scored 26 goals. That's significantly less than Mata and Lampard score at.
Last night Ba showed him how to play like a centre-forward. For 80 minutes Torres went missing. All I remember of his contribution is a couple of crosses from the wing, one of them quite good. In the last ten minutes Ba had two good headers at goal, a booking which could have been a penalty and a goal disallowed which could have been given. I don't believe Torres would have been on the end of any of those. If Ba had been playing all match we might well have won it.
The conclusion has to be that Ba should be our first choice striker at the moment and Torres is an expensive experiment which has so far failed, the goal against Barcelona notwithstanding. Maybe it would be better for everyone if he left us now. I am sure the Chelsea crowd would prefer to keep Lampard or Cole than him.Or maybe it will finally turn around. Or maybe he will insist on collecting his pay for another three years and end up like Joe Cole or Florent Malouda.
But Torres back to LFC suddenly looks plausible to me.

Having got rid of one striker and only brought in one I don't see Chelsea selling in this window, to us or anyone else. Torres may not be up to the level most expect of him in blue, but he's far better than your average back up if that is the role you think he should have behind Ba.
But, while its a while between now and the end of the season, with plenty of opportunity for the blond Spaniard to change opinions, I think the fate of Torres maybe directly tied with the fate of Rafa. If Rafa is to survive beyond being an interim manager it will be more than likely because he got Torres firing on all cylinders. But if Torres continues to fail to impress, then think Rafa will be replaced, and the new man will have much more leeway in letting him go.
As for him coming back to LFC, not against it or for it, it all depends on how much it would cost. He still has value that is for sure, it's just nowhere what his sale price was 24 months ago.

I'd accept Torres on a loan deal.. if not a outright buy.. maybe a loan with the option to buy?
Hello Robert
Tough one last night. Never pleasant losing a cup game at home.
I was wondering if the frustration was born fom benitez not picking Ba or Torres just not performing as he has done many moons ago.
Both I suspect.
- 1 Reply to Colyn
We're not out of it yet! The previous two cup games we went 1-0 down in the first half and ended up winning both 5-1. They were both away. So maybe in this one being 2-0 down at half time over 90 we'll end up winning 10-2.
You read it here first.
I guess the big problem is he has 3.5 years left of his £185k a week deal! That is an astonishing amount of money. Lets be honest, he won't earn over £100k a week anywhere else bar perhaps Russia, China, Qatar etc. I fully expect him to be a makeweight in a deal to bring in Falcao this summer with all sorts of blurry numbers being tied up to hide huge wage pay offs etc. I think Liverpool is the only possible premier league destination for him but it is a rank outside chance to be fair, probably 50/1 or more!
He will definitely stay at Chelsea for the remainder of the season, he and Rafa are interim manager and interim striker, perhaps they will go off to their next jobs together!
- 1 Reply to Hobitez
He's a bargain. If you amortise his transfer fee over the two years and add in his pocket money, it comes to less than £3m a goal. Or £69m for the goal against Barcelona, £50k for the opener against Arsenal and the rest for free.
Anyway, isn't West Ham the traditional dumping ground for rubbish that no-one wants?

Atrocious misses on the US jobs numbers and Brazilian GDP.
Turn on the printing presses. I hope its announced sooner than later.
Regardless, the SPX in the mid-1280s is in bounce territory.
Check out ECRI's (Economic Cycle Research Institute) webpage, a meaningful and knowledgable source of good information. The rest of the chief economist and their research papers can go the trash can compared to these guys.
Laksman Achutan, manager of ECRI is a very intelligent and good guy, usually nobody believes him and all his recession or recovery calls were perfect so far.
Listen to all the recent interviews with him and in general his very interesting, original and unique approach.
"The reason is US was holding up the entire world markets, US markets are still up 100% from 2009 lows."
People were saying that about the BRICs also until recently. Stimulus was propping up the whole world, not the US or BRIC markets.
Yeah I hear that. VALE has a very attractive PPS right now and good, solid fundamentals underlying. I would just lean toward EWZ, which pretty much mirrors your short list to make sure you don't get stuck with a laggard.
Why Panic Sell Now?
The reason is US was holding up the entire world markets, US markets are still up 100% from 2009 lows.
With very bad job numbers and 30/10 yr treasuries stating the things are extremely bad even in US.
When US starts the sell off all world markets will follow.
Agreed on VALE debt but I think the dollar gets whacked sooner rather than later. VALE is hanging extremely tough at this level. Mostly play on China stimulus which is obviously on the way.
Yeah Invest, but that was all true yesterday, last month, and last year.
Why panic sell now when everything is so oversold?
BVSP well off its morning lows despite the currency hit. Like you mentioned commodities are looking strong.
You may as well buy EWZ to eliminate the guess work. Also keep in mind that VALE has a lot of its debt denominated in USD, which is going to wack earnings.
I sold all my shares today a good 20k tuition and I will live to fight another day.
69000 jobs literally we are going into a global recxession, once the US markets starts going down you are going to see a full blown sell off.
Recession or not, the US Fed, and Brazilian Central Banks and Governments have just been granted strong mandates to stimulate. Especially now that oil has dropped so precipitously.
One month of bad jobs numbers is an anomaly. Two months is a trend.
Gold and silver traders got the message loud and clear.
DAX and US futures coming off their lows. Spanish markets holding up surprisingly well.
Silver flipped green. I heard a commenter this morning on the radio saying he strongly expected QE-3 if job numbers came in under 150,000.
The Brazil GDP drop leaves the door wide open to more stimulus there, especially since Brazilian debt-GDP dropped significantly yesterday and GDP missed so badly.
I think we hit an intermediate-term bottom in PM today. I felt my blood run cold when I turned on my PC this morning for the first time in a while.
One other thing, if the SPX holds its morning lows in the 1290s, its still in an uptrend on the weeklies.
