You dream about these things as a kid. Bases loaded. Bottom of the ninth. Game Seven of the World Series. Score tied.
Luis Gonzalez lived his dream Sunday night.
The Arizona Diamondbacks' slugging outfielder hit 57 home runs during the regular season, but he will be most remembered for a looping flare that nestled in the Bank One Ballpark grass and ended a dynasty.
"It's just an unbelievable feeling. I didn't sleep for the last week and a half and I probably won't sleep for another week and a half now," Gonzalez said after his ninth-inning single capped a miraculous two-run rally and gave the Diamondbacks a stunning 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees in the deciding game of one of the most thrilling Series ever.
Gonzalez's flare scored Jay Bell, who hopped on the plate and then into the arms of teammate Matt Williams in the batter's box as the crowd of 49,589 jammed into the cavernous ballpark erupted. The Diamondbacks poured out of their dugout and Party Central was the area between first and second base, where Gonzalez was mobbed.
The fourth-year franchise became the youngest ever to win a World Series by pulling off its miracle finish against Yankees closer Mariano Rivera -- who had converted 23 straight saves in postseason play and had not blown one since a 1997 division series game at Cleveland.
The Yankees had a 2-1 lead thanks to rookie Alfonso Soriano's solo home run off Arizona starter Curt Schilling leading off the eighth. With Rivera on the mound, that figured to be enough.
"Hey, we said we had six outs left," said Arizona manager Bob Brenly. "We had to find a way."
One way Arizona stayed close was by using Randy Johnson in relief to get the last four outs -- one night after he threw 105 pitches in a starting role. The rally made Johnson the winner, making him the first pitcher to win three games in a Series since Detroit's Mickey Lolich did it in 1968 and the first ever to win five games in one postseason.
Johnson and Schilling, who finished with a 1.69 ERA in three Series starts, shared Most Valuable Player honors.
"He's a warrior, has been since the day I met him," Schilling said of Johnson. "That relief appearance is everything you need to know about Randy Johnson."
It looked like Johnson's outing was just going to be a mere footnote to another Yankees title. After all, Rivera entered the game as the all-time postseason ERA leader at 0.61. And when he struck out the side in the eighth (an inning that included a Steve Finley single), he appeared as dominant as ever.
But things quickly disintegrated for Rivera in the ninth.
Mark Grace led off with a looping single to center. Damian Miller sacrificed and Rivera made the
mistake that will haunt him all winter -- throwing the ball past Derek Jeter at shortstop into center field.
"I wouldn't move on the bench," Schilling said. "I wanted to get up and watch but I was playing the 'luck seat' (refusing to move from his spot)."
Now the crowd was wild. Bell pinch-hit for Johnson and bunted again, but Rivera made the play this time by forcing pinch-runner David Dellucci at third.
It was a temporary reprieve. Leadoff man Tony Womack worked the count to 2-2 before pulling a double into the right-field corner that scored pinch-runner Midre Cummings to tie the game and send Bell to third.
"We've been here before," said Womack, whose ninth-inning single scored the winning run to beat the Cardinals in Game Five of the division series. "I was able to get a pitch and turn on it."
Craig Counsell swung through the first pitch he saw before getting hit by Rivera's next one to load the bases. In came the Yankees' infield. In came the outfield.
Gonzalez fouled Rivera's first pitch to the screen. On the next one, Rivera came inside and Gonzalez swung but didn't get much wood on the ball. But he got enough to make history.
The ball floated over Jeter's head at shortstop and he was helpless to do anything about it. Left fielder Chuck Knoblauch came in but there was nothing he could do either.
"That's the first time I choked up (on the bat) all year," Gonzalez said. "I knew the infield was playing in and I didn't have to try to hit it hard. I just had to loop something out there."
It was a stunning finish for the Yankees, who were two outs away from their fourth straight title and fifth in six years. With several players potential free agents and longtime outfielder Paul O'Neill retiring, the end of a dynasty could be at hand.
"On one hand, you realize how close you are," said a somber manager Joe Torre. "On the other hand, we realize how many times we snatched it away from people when they were close."
The Yankees hit just .183 in the Series and scored only 14 runs in seven games. And they were somehow two outs away from winning it.
"We put Mo in the game and that's all we really wanted," Torre said.
The stunning turnaround in the ninth overshadowed the marvelous duel between starters Schilling and Roger Clemens. Schilling went 7 1/3 innings, striking out nine. Clemens struck out 10 in 6 1/3 innings.
The Diamondbacks scored first on Danny Bautista's sixth-inning RBI double, but New York answered in the seventh on Tino Martinez's RBI single. Soriano seemed to have a grasp on MVP honors when he hit his home run, but Rivera couldn't hold the lead.
"That's the greatest team of our lifetime and we just got 'em," Grace said.
It was an incredible about-face for the Diamondbacks, who dropped Games Four and Five in the Bronx when closer Byung-Hyun Kim was torched for game-tying home runs in the ninth inning."They got our ace twice in New York," Gonzalez said. "We got theirs once when it counted. I guess you can say it's even."

Bill, 78, of Rembrandt, passed away on Friday, July 13, 2007, at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City.
William, the son of Alvin and Mary (Linnemann) Pitts, was born near Meriden, on Nov. 11, 1928. Bill's youth was spent in the Maryhill community, near Cherokee. He moved with his family to Alta in 1941. Bill graduated with the Highview High School Class of 1947. He continued his education at Buena Vista College in Storm Lake where he received his teaching degree. Bill later attained his Masters Degree from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. He dutifully served his country in the United States Army from 1946-47, prior to the Korean Conflict.
Bill was united in marriage to Dorothy Mae Smith on April 18, 1949, in St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Sioux Rapids. This couple was blessed with seven children: Pat, Mel, Mark, Dixie, Bill, Kenny and Scott. During his lifetime, Bill balanced his life between two careers, education and farming. Bill taught and was a guidance counselor in various school districts throughout northwest Iowa and Arkansas for over 40 years. South Clay, Clay Central, Marathon, and Palmer were some of the schools where Bill touched students' lives. Farming was a lifelong passion of Bill's and in 1968, he and his family moved to Rembrandt where they purchased their farm and have made their home. Bill was also a Drivers Education instructor and not only taught high school students but he also taught the "55 Alive" driving course for senior citizens in Bella Vista, Arkansas. Bill and Dorothy moved to Bella Vista in 1986, where they have resided since, with the exception of the summer months that they spent in Rembrandt. He was committed to the youth and was involved with the Future Farmers of America. He also had served on the Sioux Rapids and Rembrandt school boards.
Bill was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Sioux Rapids and St. Bernard Catholic Church in Bella Vista. He was a 4th Degree Knight/Knights of Columbus and had shared his musical talents by singing in the church choirs.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two grandchildren: Elizabeth and Joshua Lester; and one sister, Imelda McDermott.
Bill's is survived by his wife, Dorothy, of Bella Vista, Ark.; his children: Pat and Danny Rench of Lytton, Mel and Marian Pitts of Rembrandt, Mark and Nancy Pitts of Hamburg, Dixie and Darrell Lester of Rembrandt, Bill and Suzy Pitts of Astoria, Ore., Kenny Pitts of Rembrandt, and Scott and Shannon Pitts of Bentonville, Ark.; 20 beloved grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; his brother, Jim and Edith Pitts of Spencer; and three sisters: Shirley Kennedy of Denison, Rosemary Westphal of Aurelia, and Marlys Alldredge of Cherokee.
The Sliefert Funeral Home in Sioux Rapids was in charge of the arrangements.

I am not related to Mr Lobley. I do not know his relationship to the individual you asked about. I have been taking pictures of the mausoleum vaults at Evergreen-Washelli over the last couple of years. His burial photo is one of a couple thousand mausoleum photos that I have taken and submitted to Find A Grave. Sorry I don't have any additional information to help you.

I went to the Cemetery in Chico several years ago and photographed the entire U.S. Civil War section which includes Mr. Van Ornum. I am not related to him, so I would be happy to transfer his memorial to you if you would like. Otherwise, if you would provide me with the information, I would be happy to update the memorial for you.

RE: good evening Velma
Hello Hugo
Sorry about the delay in responding. Lucille is buried in the same cemetery as Lunda but she is not buried next to him. She is interred in the mausoleum. She died in 1979. Their daughter Marion is buried at Oaklawn memorial cemetery in Indianapolis Indiana. They have her listed as M. Jean Ratcliffe and she died in 1987. I have a copy of Lunda and Marions obits if you would like I can email them to you. I will continue to look for info. Also I will try to go to Indianapolis and take pictures of their graves.
Have a great day

RE: good evening Velma
Hello Hugo
Thank you very much. My mom was very special to us all. I have called the cemetery where Mr. Ratcliffe is buried and I have to call back on monday. Hopefully is wife is buried next to him. My grandfather is buried in the 100f cemetery in Oaklandon so I wonder if that is where their daughter is buried. I will call them as well. Do you know if the daughter married and if so her married name? I also worked at Lindner's convenience store but I worked there in 1986. They had alot of locations. I am not sure if the company that Mrs. Ratcliffe worked in is still open but there is a Rexnord Link Belt-Bearing Division still open. I will find out all I can for you.
Have a great weekend

It's location based so at home nothing, but every time I went anywhere with the guys like Glendale, Santa Monica or Newport Beach the app was blowing up all night.
The maximum distance of desirability seems to be 5 miles regardless of if she is looking for a relationship or not.
Since OKcupid removed income from profiles distance and photos are everything. This app may be less hook up driven but it's just as fake and just as shallow.
Singles are few out by my ranch which means trying LA, the most toxic dating pool in the entire US. I've lived all over the US including NY, the Northwest and I have traveled the world.
LA online dating is with loaded with commercial headshots from four score and many lbs ago along with demands for the moral fortitude of Nelson Mandela, the comedic timing of Stephen Colbert, the abs of Hugh Jackman, and the hair of Patrick Dempsey all within 2 blocks since traffic sucks.
All the inflated egos, ancient photos and unrealistic expectations are getting old. I used to date anywhere from Santa Monica to Newport but I'm tired of driving hours just to find out they have less going for them than the random 46-50 year olds who buy me drinks when I'm just minding my own at Yard House.

This week, Keith Brown plans on being back in the mix when the 8-0 Alabama Crimson Tide travels to Starkville for an SEC matchup with Mississippi State.
His biggest challenge? Matching teammate D.J. Hall – who had 11 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown against the Aggies. "I want to get back out there, which I am right now," Brown said after practicing fully Tuesday. "I just plan on catching the same amount of balls that DJ did."
Before Saturday, Alabama hadn't had a passing touchdown since its 31-3 victory over Florida on Oct. 1 – not coincidentally, the game where leading wideout Tyrone Prothro was lost to a broken leg.
Against Utah State, Tide passers threw four touchdowns – one apiece to Hall, fellow wideout Ezekial Knight, tailback Glen Coffee and fullback Le'Ron McClain.
While he wasn't completely happy on the sidelines, Brown was pleased the passing game found its groove without him.
"It was exciting," said Brown, who is the Tide's second-leading receiver with 21 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. "Seeing them catching passes, the other guys who really haven't been in there a lot, getting catches and touchdown passes."
Seeing Brown on the sidelines Saturday came as something of a surprise; he limped off the field late in the victory over Tennessee, but his name wasn't mentioned in injury reports before Bama's homecoming game against Utah state.
Brown said he was hurt when a Tennessee player was blocked into him, swinging his legs into Brown's thigh.
Had it been an SEC game, Brown could have played. But Alabama doctors chose caution over production.
"To be honest, I don't think I could have played, but I was willing to play," he said. "The doctors hold all that information, and they told me just to suit up and not to play. I just stood out there, supported my team and helped the guys that weren't used to being in there."

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that, like the TV and movie versions of the story that came before it (both called La Femme Nikita), this action series about a former assassin who's vowed to bring down the shadowy government agency that trained her to kill includes plenty of highly efficient action sequences as these human fighting machines go to work on each other with guns, knives, and sometimes their bare hands. Women sometimes go on missions in skimpy attire and are sometimes shown in their underwear for no obvious reason. Parents can also expect mild swearing (like "bitch") -- but the fighting, sometimes to the death, is the biggest red flag here.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
NIKITA is on the run and looking for revenge. Once a top agent for the shadowy government agency Division, she eventually grew weary of being an assassin and wanted to get out. But Division puts a lot of work into finding and training its operatives to become ultra-lethal killing machines and doesn't like to let them go. Still, Nikita managed to escape -- but hiding in fear isn't this lady's style. Now she's back on the radar, ready to bring the agency down before her former colleagues can take her out.
Is it any good?
This CW series is at least the third remake of Luc Besson's stylish 1980 French film La Femme Nikita. The basic concept is the same -- a secret government unit takes tough punks off the street, fakes their deaths, and then forces them to become assassins. But the new version smartly departs from the "origin story," starting not with Nikita's recruitment and training but after she's escaped from Division and is taking aim at her former employers. This sets up a long-running war between highly trained killers and promises plenty of exciting action sequences.
Still, we've seen much of this high-octane spy action before, from James Bond to Mission: Impossible to Alias. The missions are different, but the taut sequences with ultra-competent agents seem familiar. What sets this show apart is Nikita, whose thirst for vengeance combined with her strong sense of humanity creates a complex character that is both empowered and likable. It also allows room for some quiet reflection, as Nikita begins to acknowledge the dangerous impact her personal mission will have on the people who she begins to care for the most.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about revenge. Do you agree with Nikita's goal? Do you think accomplishing it would make her happy? It's often quite satisfying to fantasize about revenge -- but do you think it's just as fulfilling in reality?
How would you characterize the show's violence? Does it have as much impact as what you've seen in other TV shows or movies? Why or why not?
Action series frequently used to portray women as weak and helpless, but in recent years there have been many shows in which the female characters are as tough as any guy. What do you think of this shift? How does the female characters' sexuality factor into these shows?

Nelson Veras: Solo Session Vol. 1
The relationship between Veras's playing and classic Brazilian guitarHelio Delmiro, Joao Gilberto, Bola Seteis like that between James Blood Ulmer's playing and the blues: oddly, totally inside the tradition and entirely outside it at the same time. For Veras (and Ulmer, indeed), this has something to do with a recondite intricacy in the playing that sets it apart from earlier influences. In Veras's case, this sophistication resembles that of Pat Metheny, who, incidentally, "discovered" the then-adolescent Veras some years back, freshly relocated from Salvador de Bahia to France.
In the set list, Veras certainly favors the Brazilian side of his pedigree, something he has not always been able to do so explicitly as a sideman: there are impeccable renditions of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Chico Buarque numbers, three apiece; and a lovely reading of Milton Nascimento' s "Lilia." Moreover, at least one of the straight jazz numbers Chick Corea's "Windows"has a longstanding Brazilian connection, as it is best known in Stan Getz's bossa nova version on the saxophonist's Sweet Rain, (Verve 1967).
Elsewhere, we get Richard Rodgers numbers, both with Larry Hart ("My Funny Valentine," which grapples with Jim Hall's classic duet version with Bill Evans, on Undercurrent, (Blue Note, 1962)) and with Oscar Hammerstein ("My Favorite Things," totally free of the influence of John Coltrane's many iconoclastic versions).
John Lewis's "Django"perhaps an indirect nod to the French-guitar half of Veras's résuméis rendered with aching saudade, the crystalline, almost harp-like, quality of the guitarist's playing shining through the warm, low-treble sound.
It might seem premature and risky for so young a player to lay bare all the elements of his musicianship on a solo album. Overall, this record shows it was a risk worth taking. In fact, it's confidently labeled "volume 1"if this means there's more to come, it will be welcome.
Track Listing: Bésame Mucho; Lilia; Django; Moment's Notice; Wave; Não Fala de Maria; Triste; Corcovado; Windows; Todo O Sentimento; My Funny Valentine; A Ostra E O Vento; My Favorite Things.

Simon Pegg hints on Twitter that he might be signed to play 'Ant-Man'
It would seem like a given that Edgar Wright would find a way to work Simon Pegg into "Ant-Man," his long-in-development Marvel movie that is set right now to kick off Phase Three of Marvel's world domination.
Honestly, though, I never would have guessed that Pegg would be suiting up for the role of Ant-Man himself, which makes today's Twitter tease by Pegg an intriguing one. If you haven't seen, Pegg appears to be touring Marvel today, and he's sent out several images. There's one of him with the Hulk, another of him holding Thor's hammer, and then one final one where he is standing in front of a painting.
Innocuous stuff, right? Just a fanboy-turned-actor enjoying his tour of the space where they're turning our collective childhood into a whole series of massive franchises, right?
But look closely at that last picture. Pegg is being very specific with that pose, and that one finger in particular seems to be announcing something that is pretty big news.
I don't for a moment believe that Pegg is going to play Hank Pym, and part of the reasoning for why he might seriously be announcing that he's going to play Ant-Man is because Edgar Wright and co-writer Joe Cornish are taking a different approach to this one than most of the Marvel movies so far.
If you're familiar with the comics, let's just say that Wright and Cornish are approaching things from a Scott Lang sort of perspective, not a Hank Pym perspective. That gives you an idea what you might expect, and if Pegg is onboard, then presumably he's playing Lang or a character like Lang. That could mean there will also be a Hank Pym in the film, or it could just set up that Pym exists, but off-camera. They've been working on this script for a while now, and I have to assume they're excited as they get closer to a start date. This was never a job that Marvel was casting a wide net for; instead, this was a project that Wright vigorously pursued because he loved what it could be.
Seeing his test footage at Comic-Con was revelatory. Just based on that one clip, I am confident that Wright will try some very new and crazy ideas in his action scenes, and I'm genuinely excited that he seems to be getting closer and closer to actually making the film. To be clear, @AgentM (Marvel's Ryan Penagos) says that Pegg was touring the NYC office just to record a podcast, and that he's not in the film.
What do you think? Is Pegg just playing a game with Twitter, or could he be set now to put on the Ant-Man suit for 2015?
Hopefully we'll have answers to these questions soon.
In the meantime, "The World's End" opens August 23, 2013.

Even before they released DeSean Jackson, it was clear the Eagles were likely to select a wide receiver in the draft in May.
Now it is a necessity, although the Eagles won't have to stray from their promise to select the best available player. That's because - as general manager Howie Roseman said in February at the NFL combine - every round will have a receiver the team covets.
The Jackson jettison just made it more probable the Eagles will expend an early-round selection on the position. The draft has as many as a dozen receivers they could take in the first two rounds, but with so much depth, a few could drop into the middle rounds and the patient Eagles' laps.

The name Mongolia conjures up images of Genghis Khan's army sweeping across the steppes, destroying everything in its wake.
Mongolia's most famous son might do a double take at the modern city of Ulaan Baatar, but he'd recognise much of Mongolia even today. Many locals still live in the traditional circular felt tents called gers (yurt in Russian), and Mongolian children learn to ride almost before they can walk. With a stunning, wide-open landscape, dramatic mountain ranges, the wilderness of the Gobi Desert and beautiful alpine lakes, Mongolia is a fantastic place to experience nature in the raw.

Are you a business owner thinking:
I'm working like a dog, but not making the money to prove it.
I keep thinking things will change, but they aren't.
I can't do everything, but what can I let go of?
When a client came to me worried that she would need to get a j-o-b to make her payroll, I found her an additional $2000/month in recurring income – just by tweaking something she was already doing.
I take a week off every six weeks, am having my best year ever, and help my clients do the same.
I offer more than just one-to-one coaching; I also offer products and mini-courses for people who would rather 'DIY'.
If you are a business owner concerned about your profits and priorities, schedule a call to explore if we are a good fit.
There's a secret that will transform your business AND give you more free time:
You'll get the most out of working with me if:
- You are an established solopreneur/small business owner with 5 or fewer employees.
- You realize that the way you've been doing things just isn't working anymore and you're open to trying something new.
- Your business is in a growth phase – or you want to lay the foundation for growth.
- You are willing to invest time and money to create lasting change in your business.
If this describes YOU, contact me to discuss how we can work together.
I work with clients in many locations via phone or Skype.

Skip to comments.Putin says U.S. is a "parasite" on global economy
Posted on 08/01/2011 2:33:58 PM PDT by Nachum
(Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accused the United States Monday of living beyond its means "like a parasite" on the global economy and said dollar dominance was a threat to the financial markets.
"They are living beyond their means and shifting a part of the weight of their problems to the world economy," Putin told a Kremlin youth group while touring its summer camp north of Moscow.
"They are living like parasites off the global economy and their monopoly of the dollar."
President Barack Obama announced a last-ditch deal to cut about $2.4 trillion from the U.S. deficit over a decade, avoid a crushing debt default and stave off the risk that the nation's AAA credit rating would be downgraded.
The deal initially soothed anxieties and led Russian stocks to jump to three-month highs, but jitters remained over the possibility of a credit downgrade.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
but the u.s. keeps the world oil shipping lanes open etc.
Sorry, but this is strong medicine, and WE NEED IT.
The US —not Russia— is a parasite.
The WashPost —not Pravda— is a dishonest, government CHEER LEADER.
These times are crazy as hell, sure, but that's the damned TRUTH.
Maybe, he was talking about leadership in Washington?
Putin gets it.
I'm in agreement. Putin is right. He doesn't call a spade a spade, he calls a spade a motherhuggin' shovel.
Putin is just another Tea Party terrorist. /s
The left has long believed the US is a parasite on the world, that is WHY they are bankrupting us
Actually, I am feeling the same... glad I didn't say it :p
(the socialist govt. running the show, not 'We, the People')
Well said.
Don't enjoy saying it, but its true.
Last Wednesday, our favorite pizza joint had CNN on. We gotta get them to change that, but I digress. There was a guy on that said the very same thing...American is sucking up all the capital. Too bad it wasn't a call-in show.
So watch what's coming now, folks. That is going to be the new attack. Thanks Putin and CNN for giving us advanced info. I'm sure it will be used by Daily Kos, HuffPo, ANSWER, Code Pink, and of course, MoveOn.org very soon. Start preparing!
"I guess Hillary better hit the reset button again."
Maybe this time the she can find someone among the overpaid, worthless Harvard-educated pseudowonks in the State Department capable of translating ONE SINGLE WORD into Russian properly.
He does make the same points most other would emphasize, but their currencies have about this same connection to reality as ours does now. Finding one or several of sufficient magnitude and viability to replace the dollar as a worldwide medium of exchange and store of value becomes perplexing. An individual country might think they have a solution, but they know they must also survive during the resulting chaos as all countries seek similar solutions. They see the daunting specter of disaffected holders sending trillions of dollar denominated bonds to the marketplace when there are no buyers unless prices are severely discounted. They are also frightened by the image of a devastated U.S. economy, because feeding the insatiable desires of U.S. consumers has been a mainstay of their prosperity. I imagine something like the final scene in The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The members of the G-20 are standing in a circle with open graves behind them. They are all contemplating how they are going to successfully outdraw the other nineteen members and survive the resulting mayhem, which Lee Van Cleefs character did not.
Liberalism is parasitic, by nature. Any society that allows the growth of groups of young able bodied people who don't work, but have children and live off of welfare as a birthright, is encouraging parasitism. I'm not making a global characterization here of all on welfare. I definitely believe that in the general ethos that 'but for the grace of God there go I', but that concept is not applicable, in my view, when people are actively scamming the system. Further, the scamming is being done not just by the recipients of the government money, but also by those who are buying votes by promoting these programs.
If this is not justification for withdrawing all foreign aid, I don't know what is! You're on your own world! Please don't ask us or our children or our grandchildren to contribute to your well being. YOU are on your own!
It was a problem with translation. Putin though Mark Halperin had refered to Obama as "kind of a tick".
At over $100,000,000,000,000 (100 Trillion) in public and private debt, we are effectively bankrupt.
Remember that old flick, "Red Dawn"...?
I loved it! Cheered my lungs out when that kid held up the AK, screaming, "Wolverines..!". I don't regret it at all —the USSR was scary. Heck, in many ways it (Russia) STILL is.
But you know what?
RussiaToday (youTube) is WAY more honest about USA news than CNN is.
They don't sugar-coat it —they never do.
I NEVER could have predicted that I'd EVER read or watch a Russian source, but we've reached a Twighlight Zone-ish place where ex-commies (?) are more honest than the President of the United States.
For some reason, Putin doesn't seem to have any issue with accepting foreign aid from this parasite.
So, you believe that the US is a parasite? Well, if you are in the US, then you need to relocate. Please. You don't understand the tactic here. They are trying to foment the collapse of the US by undermining the dollar and our credibility.
Do you know how much debt Russia has?
It is rare for a country to stay within their means. The idea is too get it as close as possible. Hard to balance a budget, but it is possible. Harder still if you have those like the current crop of Democrats.
Nice try, Pooty, but parasites aren't usually the biggest organism in the relationship nor the one whose life blood is being drained away.
We were bankrupt way before we hit the 100 trillion mark.
Maybe but it would be your ass and mine that he would kick not cronies. He's a despicable, devious dictator...not really the sort we want. We already have that.
Now Netanyahu...I could go for. :)
I agree with you.
Putin's words are really no different from what dozens of FReepers express every day.
I love it!
Class warfare goes global.
Liberals do not even know what they've unleashed.
George Orwell was right: "So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot."
He'd sure take care of the damn MSM.
He is right. We abuse our reserve currency status by printing trillions of dollars exporting inflation. It will come back to haunt us.
It's not hard to stay within your means, but it takes indistry,not Government jobs.
China stays within their means because now they have our industry. Mexico now has 5% unemployment with our industry,
Japan , Korea, Thailand, they all have our industry. We allowed American plants to be moved there. In fact we encouraged it.
Now as for Putin, the guy is a dick, but he aint all wrong about America being a parasite.
We allowed our industry to go away and now we have to keep borrowing from the places it went.
I'd put a variation on what Putin said:
World capital is being sucked up and devoured by the friends of the Obama admin; unions, lawyers, activist groups and a small set of "G" companies (GE, Goldman, GM).
And the whole world will be made to starve.
What will they try to "get done" during the impending, engineered collapse...?? Ideas?
Fast & Furious shows they're VERY comfortable with inducing a crisis in which people get killed —250 Mexican cops, so far, and 2 US offficers.
How about a Palin/Putin ticket. Don't think anyone would bother her with him next in line. I'm kidding of course. I'd just like to see a mean a$$ in office that would kick some liberal butts.
Putun is a boil on the global backside.
I hate ticks! I Love to watch them splatter when you step on them!
Exactly plus we screwed ourselves with "free trade". We should have put up tariffs 20 years ago to protect industries and jobs. But the free traitors in DC have been calling the shots for years and making billions ofo this too. Sending industry overseas
Also blame the EPA and OSHA for stifling industry and production here, to where US companies have great incentives to move production outside our borders. To Mexico then China
2012 is coming Putin, problem solved.
Putin's right.
Fuck Putin.
US taxpayers carry the world.
Not all jobs can stay here since there is no way to get rid of all the regulations. Sure wish we could. Plus it depends on the foreign markets they serve. Heinz, for example, has some plants overseas because it is less expensive to ship from the Far East (Indonesia, I think) to that market than here. There are alot of jobs that could be here, like customer service call center representatives.
Perhaps, those that believes the US is a parasite, should look up the definition and consider it. Only those that do not believe in American exceptionalism could make the comparison. Don't fall for Putin's trick. If you still think the US is a parasite, then I would ask you to relocate.
I could get banned for telling you what to do with your invitation for me to move.
The United States is staying afloat off the act of borrowing from other countries.
If we were to have our debts called tomorrow we would declare bankruptcy.
Funny thing is we are borrowing back our own money that we send to China to buy products that are built by companies and industry we sent there from here.
Even funnier is Obama appointed Imelt the head of GE to be the jobs Czar and he sent a good portion of those jobs there.Now even Helen Keller should be able to see that Obama isn't trying to help our country, but the Congress of the United States just voted to let him borrow more. IF he can find someone stupid enough to buy our debt. Much of it is being bought by the federal Reserve with money that isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
But you dont think this country is turning into a parasite.
When you must be the grasshopper that relies on the ant to keep you alive you are a parasite.
Funny that you'd think of being nasty. I was civil, yet you had to contain yourself in the face of honest disagreement. Especially since we agree that Obama isn't good for this country.
Did you ever look up the definition of parasite? This from Random House College Dictionary: "2. a person who receives support, advantages, or the like, from another or others wtihout giving any useful or proper return." Do you believe that the US gives nothing useful or proper? Still believe Putin is right?
You tell me and others who think we are becoming parasites to get out of the country and you don't think that is nasty?
That's civil?
When people tell me to leave the country if I don't agree with them I get personally angry, I thought I did pretty well in a civil way after being told to leave the country if I agree that Putin was right in calling us parasites.
I certainly know what a parasite is, A parasite is a suckerfish that attach's itself to a host shark, just like we have attached ourselves to Chinese loans, and The Democrats have attached thenselves to a Usurping Kenyan Muslim ,fake President who goes on $50,000 dollar a week vacations while his aunt lives off our public assistance.
Parasite =Aunt Zuni.
No, I don't think that I was nasty. Obviously. Nor were you because you were afraid of being banned, AND because you couldn't have a calm disagreement.
There is alot that we agree on, but when someone believes that the country I love (and I think you do to...hopefully) is as bad as a parasite, then I invite them to relocate. Why would someone stay in a country that they believe is a parasite? I provided the definition, and according to it, the US is not a parasite. It is interesting that you hate what the Democrats and Obama are doing but believe a Communist.
The loan situation isn't as easy as it seems. Apparently, we have alot of revenue, but the loans are on part of the debt.
Are you Zuni, or just using the name?

John Kruk became the newest Phillie to join the club's Wall of Fame before Friday night's game against Washington.
A bronze plaque bearing Kruk's likeness was unveiled by Jim Eisenreich as the Phillies began Alumni Weekend.
The 50-year-old Kruk, who played for the raucous 1993 team that lost to Toronto in the World Series, was introduced by Darren Daulton.
"This is the greatest place I've ever been," Kruk said as he addressed the crowd at Citizens Bank Park. "I met my wife here. My children were born here. In 1989, the Phillies took a chance on a guy who was hitting .180. I stunk. They took a chance, and apparently it paid off. We came up short, but it was a party every day. We killed a lot of brain cells, but you were right there with us."

Bahrain activists vow 'days of rage' for F1
Anti-government protesters in Bahrain are planning "days of rage" directed at this weekend's Formula One...
Anti-government protesters in Bahrain are planning "days of rage" directed at this weekend's Formula One Grand Prix, while security forces have rounded up dozens of activists in a clampdown on the opposition in the Gulf Arab nation.
Bahrain has been in turmoil since a democracy movement erupted last year after uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.
The island state's revolution was initially crushed with the loss of dozens of lives but youths still clash daily with riot police and thousands are turning out for opposition rallies as the motor race approaches.
"Boycott F1 in Bahrain," reads a graffiti message daubed on a wall in a village outside the capital, Manama, next to a painted image of a red Ferrari race car. "You will race on the blood of martyrs."
Bahrain's ruling Al Khalifa family had to cancel last year's race because of the uprising, but its return on April 20-22 is a chance to tell the world that all is back to normal - which could work if protests and clashes are kept to Shi'ite districts and do not reach major highways or the capital.
Bernie Ecclestone, the colourful British owner of the commercial rights to Formula One, said last week the race would go ahead because all was "quiet and peaceful" in Bahrain, which paid last year's hosting fee of an estimated $40 million despite cancelling the race due to the conflict.
The Bahrain race, part of a 20-event worldwide season that has revenues of $2 billion, drew 100,000 visitors and generated an estimated half a billion dollars in spending when it was last held two years ago. Formula One, the business arm of one of the world's most watched sports, is expected to be floated on the Singapore stock exchange later this year.
Race organisers say "the security situation in Bahrain is suitable for the staging of a major sporting event". John Yates, a former senior British police officer hired by Bahrain to oversee reform of its police force, said he felt "safer than I have often felt in London".
The official Formula One website, describing the Sakhir Circuit as "first-rate", tells visitors: "As the wind picks up each evening and the early sunset takes hold, the place has a magical 'Arabian Nights' feel to it."
Amnesty International said in a report this week that dozens remained in jail after unfair military trials for their role in mass protests a year ago while action was needed to address what the human rights group called discrimination against majority Shi'ites.
"With the world's eyes on Bahrain as it prepares to host the Grand Prix, no one should be under any illusions that the country's human rights crisis is over," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director.

Borodin Quartet
~ Group
The Borodin Quartet is a string quartet that was founded in 1945 in the then Soviet Union. It is one of the world's longest lasting string quartets, having marked its 70th anniversary season in 2015.
The quartet was one of the Soviet Union's best known in the West during the Cold War era, through concert performances in the United States and Europe and through distribution of their recordings.
The quartet had a close relationship with composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who personally consulted them on each of his quartets. They also performed with the pianist Sviatoslav Richter on many occasions. They have recorded all of Shostakovich's string quartets as well as all of Beethoven's quartets. Their many recordings include works by a wide range of composers on the Melodiya, Teldec, Virgin Records, and Chandos Records labels.
The original Borodin quartet's sound was characterised by an almost symphonic volume and a highly developed ability to phrase whilst maintaining group cohesion. Although it has seen many changes in personnel over its life span, all members of the quartet have been graduates of the Moscow Conservatory.

There are some things that I won't budge on when it comes to beauty products but there are also great beauty bargains that give a big bang for your buck.
Wedzu is the "indie & handmade wedding marketplace" – like Etsy, but everything wedding. The site is stocked full of goodies to make your big (yet cool and indifferent) day as original as you strive to be with your mindfully assembled disorderly vintage ensembles intended to make a statement without looking like you're trying to make one. Hopefully you find something you like before it becomes too popular and you have to be smug about it (Isn't that how it works hipsters?).
It takes several important ingredients to be called a classic. Start with the celebrated tilt-head design that gives you easy access to both the beater and bowl. Then add a Flour Power Rating of 8 cups, which means you can make enough dough for 6 dozen cookies, 3 loaves of bread or 6 pounds of [...]
The vintage bookcase by Jaren Goh is the perfect piece to showcase your collection of chick literature and make a statement that goes beyond the bindings. Three of the latest sassy stories to hit the presses: The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern, Love Always by Harriet Evans, and There's Cake in My Future by Kim Gruenenfelder.
Coffee cake that tastes like a coffee cake but looks like a cupcake. Recipe adapted from America's Test Kitchen.
A few accouterments for hosting a bruncheon (a brunchtime luncheon) for a handful of friends of maybe just a little something nice for yourself as you revel in the peace and quite of a beautiful mid-morning before setting out to tackle the day.

Well Razor, you are in luck that the God of the Newb-Tube is here to help. Also, I will start filming soon BTW on my videos.The way I use it is to line up the dots on the radar with my scope on the SMAW when I snipe with it. Another way is to provide a "scare tactic" when the enemy is around a corner and jump, fire, and go back. This will cause them to tease their way around.If those don't work, wait for the enemy to come to you and use it. They will wait for you to make the move, but they always run at the end to you.Also, fire in front of them when they run for the most devastating hits. If they are running back, do the same.Hope this helps.
Don't use the smaw AT ALL
I can't seem to use it. -.- I know, I sound stupid, but I can't seem to get kills with SMAW, unless like a -6 spread counts. Ugh no counter for SMAW noobs, I use Explosives Focus, and light armor, but they just usp you down, because you only have about 10-35%

I have been to this restaurant twice and was deliciously delighted both times, as were all the members of my party!! The food is homemade, fresh and scrumptious!! The last time I was there, we met some other customers in the parking lot as we were arriving. They got our attention, as they were getting into their car, to let us know that their dinner was fabulous and so fresh!! I love the Frank Sinatra music, too!!

A Home Far Away From Home (Vietnam)written by koni on 2008-11-13 #places
One of my last holidays was when i was traveling with my friends to Vietnam. After seeing bustling Hanoi and the surrounding areas we needed to get out to a more quiet and relaxing place. But where to go? We were reading in the guidebook about one Place called Sapa, a place nobody of us had ever heard before. The things we were reading sounded fine but the downside was that we had to go with the train for 16 hours followed by a bus trip of another 4 hours to get there. So we were really considering whether we do this trip or not because we didn´t have so much time especially no time for wasting.4 3 Share Tweet

Product Details
These sophisticated high-waist pants are tailored with a flattering, slightly flared leg and made from our four-season Super 120s merino wool. What makes it so super is the measure of the fiber: the higher the number, the finer the fiber, and 120 is one of the finest with a silky-smooth finish and a refined look. PSA from our design team: This silhouette is unlined to ensure the perfect amount of drape and breathability.
Size & Fit Details
Preston pant in Super 120s wool
Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jessica Could be better I recently bought these when there was a promotion, and good thing, because I would have been pretty angry if I paid full retail for these - they're barely worth what I did pay. The fabric is extremely thin - to the point that it's almost see through, especially in the butt region. I think it was a mistake on J. Crew's part to not line these pants. Otherwise, the rise is perfect and the fit is nice, although I'd say a little snug, but not to where I'd want to size up. If these pants came in a lined version, or one with a more substantial fabric, I would definitely consider purchasing more pairs. February 26, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Conster very nice drape, little snug in the waist I really like the way these fit, but I found them to be a little small in the waist. I am exchanging my size 0 pants for size 2-- hopefully they will work better. The size 0 fit, but I didn't like how snug/ tight they looked in the rearview, especially the light gray pair-- I am a modest gal! I am usually a 0 in J Crew pants and a 26 in jeans. but they are very nice pants. They are not lined at all --so you have to be careful about undergarments especially if you like wearing your pants very tailored/ fitted. September 23, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Virna Wanted to be perfect This pants are my dream come true regarding style, love the material, love how it feels BUT! they run very small. My regular size 6 fit, but I didn't like how snug/ tight they looked in the rearview and my thighs. Not problem with the waist area - I have small waist. I am thinking about exchanging size 6 for size 8-- hopefully they will work better.... I haven't decided yet what to do. August 21, 2016

By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY
MAYAKOBA, Mexico Forty miles south of Cancun off Highway 307, a busy four-lane lined with gated all-inclusive resorts and dotted with the occasional tortilla seller at a traffic light, a transformation is taking place.
A network of Venetian-style canals has been dredged out of mangrove swamps, an 18-hole Greg Norman golf course has tamed what was once jungle, and beachfront suites with butler service lord over an expanse of white sand.
READ MORE: Photo gallery | Cancun goes upscale
It's all part of the groundbreaking Mayakoba development, a 600-acre complex on the so-called Riviera Maya that will contain five top-drawer hotel brands: Fairmont, Rosewood, Banyan Tree, Viceroy and one more yet to be named.
First to open: the 6-month-old Fairmont Mayakoba, 401 rooms of low-rise luxury, plus a two-story spa and noiseless electric boats called lanchitas that ferry guests around. When the Mayakoba complex is done, guests can move between hotels — dining, bar-hopping, spa-going.
It's "the future" of luxury resorts, says Jean-Pierre De Mary, a Frenchman who is working for the Spanish company (OHL) that owns Mayakoba and is developing it. "You go on holiday, you don't want to be in a (hotel) tower" or confined to one resort. "You are in nature, but sophisticated."
Indeed. Fairmont guests sit on the balcony off the lobby and gaze down at shimmering green waterways and the azure Caribbean beyond, while a harpist plays softly. Guests gawk at cormorants in rain-forest trees or loll beachside in a $1,000-a-day suite with plunge pool.
Mayakoba also reflects the upscaling of the fast-growing Riviera Maya, an 88-mile stretch of vacation beaches that snakes south from Puerto Morelos through Playa del Carmen to the Mayan ruins of Tulum and is known for value-priced all-inclusives. Now, a half-dozen world-class lodgings cater to the marble-bathroom and $100-massage set.
A decade ago, the region — named for the ancient Maya who cultivated corn and built temples — had 73 hotels with 3,597 rooms.
By year's end, 382 hotels and resorts with 31,397 rooms will pepper the palm-fringed beaches fronting the world's second-largest barrier reef, says the Riviera Maya Tourist Board. Ten thousand construction workers from all over Mexico are toiling day and night.
Bringing in even more luxury resorts is "part of our strategic plan," says tourist board director Dario Flota. That plan will be bolstered by a just-announced regional airport, due in 2008, that will allow jet-setters to avoid the tedious one- to two-hour drive south from Cancun.
So far, Mayakoba isn't well known outside the Yucatan Peninsula, but developers hope it will be when it hosts the first-ever Professional Golf Association tour stop in Mexico in February.
Even the least expensive rooms at the Fairmont ($289 through Dec. 20) boast spacious marble baths with walk-in showers and glassed-in mini-gardens by the tub. Standard amenities include French-press coffeemakers (sophisticated but tricky to use unless you know how). Kinks — such as shuttling guests around the 35-acre property without waits — still are being worked out.
Next up is the 120-room Rosewood Mayakoba ($700 and up daily), featuring contemporary suites that have outdoor shower gardens, individual docks and living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows. It's due next September.
"The overall theme is to bring nature into the room," says Rosewood president Bob Boulogne, after inspecting a model suite erected on the banks of a lagoon. Nature is big at Mayakoba: A team of two dozen biologists consulted on how to build with the least damage to flora and fauna; trees were removed during construction, then replanted.
Affluent vacationers "want the big showerheads," Boulogne says. But they want "eco in the sense that you're one with nature."
Down the road from Mayakoba, another big name in luxury — the Mandarin Oriental — is poised to open early next year.
And the all-inclusives are ever more chichi. The Royal Hideaway Playacar in Playa del Carmen just won a AAA five-diamond rating. The Azul Blue Hotel+Spa, opening in November near Tulum, has butlers, top-shelf liquor, a chef who once worked for the Mexican president and a pre-arrival concierge who might ask what song you'd like to hear at dinner.
Elsewhere on the Riviera Maya, more intimate hideaways have been sprouting to cater to the $500-a-day crowd with low-key elegance, high-thread-count linens and the genuinely warm and smiling service that distinguishes the region from many other hot-weather tourist meccas.
Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Tony Blair are among those who've touched down at the 65-room Maroma Resort and Spa, a Moorish-looking white-stucco complex. It has just added nine "spa suites" ($1,500 a day is typical) with massage areas, private gym rooms, outdoor showers and plunge pools.
For a rustic/elegant jungle hideaway, it's hard to beat Ikal del Mar ("poetry of the sea" in Maya). Guests retreat in 30 thatched-roof suites with private plunge pools.
At year-old Esencia, which began life as the vacation villa of an Italian duchess and has attracted globetrotters including Gwyneth Paltrow, guests are welcomed into a thatched-roof Mayan home with a pot of black beans simmering over a fire. Guests are then ferried in a pedicab-like vehicle to their quarters. That could be "Rosa's Suite" in the red-roofed villa — the white bedroom where the duchess slept.
Over margaritas and cochinita pibil (savory stewed pork, beans and purple onion, a Yucatan specialty) in Esencia's impeccably decorated salon, general manager Abigal Rivera explains the Riviera Maya's mystique. It's a rare place in Mexico where "the indigenous culture is still strong," she says. "They still teach children to grow cacao."
Luxury vacationers adore a sense of place. Here, that means Maya-themed spa treatments and resort sweat-lodge ceremonies in igloo-like stone structures called temescals conducted by shamans.
Up the coast near Puerto Morelos, 4-year-old Paraiso de la Bonita is decorated with artifacts the owners collected on their travels: Balinese statues and African carvings. Its spa is the only one in Mexico offering thalassotherapy, treatments using seawater. Ricky Martin slept here.
Like many Riviera Maya resorts, Paraiso de la Bonita had to repair last year's hurricane damage. "We planted more than 600 palms," says Christian Rodriguez, U.S. sales manager for the resort.
He explains why guests choose the Riviera Maya over Cancun. "Cancun is more for the party. The Mayan Riviera is more ... cultural, more laid-back."
Even at the 401-room Fairmont, nightlife can be virtually non-existent as the resort gains a foothold. On a recent evening, just two couples were dining at 9 p.m., nearly outnumbered by the mariachi band playing for them.
Those looking for a fiesta head to nearby Playa del Carmen — "Playa" to regulars. Jean-Pierre De Mary and sister Christiane, who also works for Mayakoba developers, lead a tour of its Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), lined with shops and restaurants.
The poolside bar of the trendy DESEO boutique hotel looks like a South Beach scene. Pretty young things and lithe young men lounge on daybeds, with mauve lights and candles creating a romantic mood.
The De Marys chauffeur a visitor to where Playa del Carmen's paved roads become dirt, where women wash clothes in plastic buckets. Poverty is widespread, and locals say they welcome the influx of hotels, which provide jobs that pay more than they could earn elsewhere.
Nearby, laborers toil on more hotels and condos. "Incroyable," exclaims Jean-Pierre, running a hand through his salt-and-pepper hair. "All this did not exist a year ago."
The Riviera Maya "is growing like mushrooms, as we say in France," chimes in Christiane, a blonde in navy linen blouse and pin-stripe pants. "Go away for a month, it changes."
Back at the gates of Mayakoba, workers are still pounding away at the stone entrance in the dark, accompanied by a chorus of tree frogs.
