I got this Jacket for my husband who loves it so much. It's light weight and keeps Him warm during cool time and also protects during windy. It gives more comfort and good feel. High Quality.
Very nice jacket. good quality, good price
For $16.88 you can't bet this jacket if you're looking for something for cooler weather when working in the yard. Nice styling, true to size, and comfortably warm to about 45 degrees. I would recommend it if asked.
Good warm jacket. Only negative is the collar is made in a different color than the rest of the jacket.
No complaints and better than you would expect for the price.
Loved the jacket as it is so light and warm
i bought this jacket for my husband for his birthday. It is very nice. light weight soft inside, soft on the outside. it's not a puff jacket. it's not too thin, it's just right. it fits my husband very well. he looks great in it. It will keep you warm & it goes with great with anything. My husband really loves it & for the price you can't beat it.
Very warm and nice looking jacket. Bought it for Hubby as a work jacket since he works outdoors all year long. He loved it so much that he ended up keeping it as a day to day jacket and doesn't want to ruin it by wearing it to work. Only paid $14 for it online for Black Friday.
I would prefer snaps on the cuffs instead of velcro, yet everything else on this jacket satisfies me. Good fit, good materials, ample pockets, it is really warm. Soft and comfortable, makes it easy to drive. A sylish, casual jacket.
This is the best jacket ...it's light weight, but warm...keeps out the cold chill of the wind...
the fit is perfect, and comfortable to wear..
I would highly suggest buying this jacket for the men in your life.....
I purchased this for my husband as a gift, and he has not yet opened the gift, however, it looks just as described and I'm confident that he will like it.
This is my favorite jacket. It has all the features I like (plenty of pockets and elastic cuffs) and is plenty warm. It's also very inexpensive.
Bought for my husband for Christmas. He wanted one that was lighter wieght, warm and no hood. He loved it!!
Very nice jacket that meets my standards and style.
great looking jacket, and very well comfortable to
Item was excellent and intact.
Good Fit and priced well.

What an incredible, sensory dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were top rate. I'll start with the food/drinks:
OMG!!! What an erotic drink. Every sip gave me a sensation of total bliss! The first taste sensation is the clean, crisp dryness from the lime; then the coconut flavor; and finally, the frothy, creamy, finish. TO DIE FOR! I recommend going for this drink alone!
This was the best, most perfectly-prepared fresh fish I have had in a while. (The last time I enjoyed fish so much was the John Dory at The Cellar in Fullerton a few years ago.) It was so tender, moist, and flaky, it melted in my mouth! (My friend had the Pork Roast, which looked equally tantalizing.) (I have also had the Shrimp & Medallions before, which I highly recommend.)
The BEST Coconut Cake I have ever tasted, coupled with a high-quality vanilla bean ice cream. More orgasmic culinary sensations on the tongue! Heavenly!
Our server, Katherine was a professional, full of sensible wit, knowledge of the menu, and friendliness!
Three negative things only very slightly marred our experience:
1. one of the cooks or someone was whistling a LOT.
2. The music stopped and there was awkward silence for about 10 minutes.
3. The table lighting was a bit bright (so we stood a menu up to block it.
The interior architecture & design is beautiful. There are high, vaulted ceilings of redwood, with redwood beams and pewter brackets---STUNNING! And comfortable, spread out seating. Very romantic!
I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Its a logical derivative of the phrase (and name) "Chevy Chase." "Chase" rhymes with "face" so you use the word Chevy to mean face. This works with other word combinations.

Apparently Lalo doesn't read anything outside Kool Aid Daily…
Yup, those states that decided to not have their own state insurance exchange and whose Governors that didn't want to do the medicaid extension (even though it was fully paid for by the feds), hurt their own citizens for political gain and that they basically don't give a crap.
"it was fully paid for by the feds" ? You chuckle head, the Feds take that money from the rest of us in taxes. The Fed have no money of their own.
Yes, it's better to use the emergency room as your primary care physician and then not pay the bills….which leads to hospital losses that leads to prices raised that leads to premiums raised,…so you're paying for it all already, out of your very own household budget. No, lets not have a whole bunch of people in insurance pools keeping premiums down, I'd rather pay for all the hospitals losing money. SARC:
You forgot all the Black college kids who are losing their
coverage also along with all the o'socialist voters who
are getting thrown under the bus the list is endless and
growing daily.
So elections don't matter, and you're the arbiter of what's American? Sounds more like a dictatorship than America. Why don't you head for Somalia? Guns, God, no government. You'd last about a minute.
The Tea Parties are about limited government, reduced taxation, and adherence to the Constitution. So what part of that is racist? Only in the imaginings of Leftists.
The racist part is the monkey and witch doctor signs, the "half white" statements, the "Kenyan" part, the bush deficits didn't matter but now they do…
It was a great idea when it was Mitt 'whitebread' Romney's, but when President Obama suggests it, it's horrible. That's not racism?
No, it is not. The Mass. health care law did not cancel everyone's existing insurance because the policies did not cover unnecessary treatments, like contraception, maternity care and pediatric care for 55 year old women. It did not threaten to penalize everyone through taxation if they decide not to participate. Whenever you leftist Obama worshipers run out of logical arguments, you scream RACISM!!!!!!!

Reviews for Building a Solid Foundation

Building a Solid Foundation is exactly what (whom) they claim to be. I, too, am a Christian. We shall pray for you. We'll accept our judgment from God alone.
We are a nonprofit organization who has, for the past 10 years, been providing warm beds, hot food, people to talk with, church on Sundays, Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, Relapse Prevention meetings, and a welcome respite from the streets.
We offer a six month recovery center and a six month transitional living program. All of our fund-raisers are volunteers. Those in the transitional living program are provided with an allotment (for daily expenditures, such as food, toothpaste, socks, etc.) as well as money management in an attempt to successfully transition these men back into society.
Does it make you think? Running 8 recovery houses from San Diego to Oakland. The commercial expenditures alone are staggering. The volunteer staff required to intake over 30 people per week. Then we transport these gentlemen to and from their doctors, their appointments for social security and food stamps, their attorneys, as well as their jobsites.
We'll be the first to admit that our volunteers could use a little help from time to time. Many of these gentlemen have been hidden away from the rest of society for years. Whatever the reason, they often 'surface' in an organization such as ours. We do our best to make them presentable and courteous for our fundraising activities. We don't always succeed. We do ask your forgiveness and beg for you prayers.
We are a 'Social Model' drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. We survive in an industry where less than 3% of the clients remain clean and sober over 2 years. Our success rate is roughly 1.7%.
The average drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in California receives $3,600.00 per month, per client, from State, Federal, and Private Insurance monies. We take no State nor Federal funding. Our clients are literally bottom of the barrel, from the streets, and have no health insurance. Those who 'can' afford to pay are only asked for $10.00 per day for room and board during the first 90 days of their recovery. The second 90 days, we ask $15.00 per day. The final 180 days, the transitional living phase, we require $25.00 per day for housing, transportation, electric, plumbing, and waste disposal. We also require our gentlemen to maintain a working list of short, medium, and long range goals. We also provide money management, career counseling, resume building, and schedule interviews for employment.
We also ask that our transitional living personnel assist with our weekly feeding of the homeless (100 full lunches per house) and our weekly visits to the local high schools to provide a positive testimony to our youth.
Finally, some homework. Our books are public. Rodney Nolen has not received a dime from this organization for 2 years. Over the past 10 years, we have taken roughly $300k per year in donations. That is less than $40k per facility per year.
The math isn't difficult. This is, quite simply, a labor of love.
Thank you for your time and understanding. God Bless You.
Rodney Nolen

p.s. Chris, we tried to help you, Sir. We truly did. It was you who decided to leave. God Bless.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Find appropriate funding, reduce our time 'on the box', and hire a psychologist.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I am Billy Barnes, the volunteer information technology project manager for Building a Solid Foundation.
I did, unfortunately, spell Mr. Nolen's name incorrectly while entering this review. I apologize. If this was the incorrect forum to address the issues, again, I apologize. Mr. Nolen is a single soldier for Christ. He operates his mission from San Diego to Oakland. He had asked me to enter his sentiments on this site.
Mr. Nolen is involved in the recovery of over 120 men, women, and children. Involved, not 'monitoring'. I am simply amazed he is still going. I volunteered my services, as do the hundreds of volunteers throughout California, because we believe in his cause.
Rita Williams, on her way out the door to retirement, reported the best she could for her employer. She actually came out to our program house in Oakland, CA, during a relapse prevention class, and was greeted with open arms. Ms. Williams interviewed several of the clients as well as Mr. Nolen. She told us we were the ONLY organization with buildings, or even staff!
We went out and picketed Channel 2 and were granted a retraction. We were also provided an apology from the Producer of Ms. Williams news segment.
Tim, instead of playing armchair quarterback, perhaps you should get in the game. Thank you, guys and gals, for your time. God Bless!

The worst of the worst, in our humble opinion, are the people that return to the streets and die. Some of these people we have had to bury ourselves. We have received phone calls, in the middle of the night, from law enforcement asking us to identify a john doe. The only paperwork or identification on that person was a flier from our organization.
We 'know' … we truly 'understand' whom we are working with … I, personally, have been drug and alcohol free for 20 years. I have been running this particular program for 10 years. I do extend my apologies to you, young man, for our inappropriate placement of our personnel. I also extend my apologies for that mans' actions and activities on that day. He was picked up early, sent to detox, and eventually returned to our program. Only to relapse, engage in a fight, and become incarcerated.
I would request, however, that you ask your father how grateful he is for organizations such as ours. There are many judges, parole officers, probation officers, and community center officials who thank us. Almost daily.
We know what we are facing each and every single day going out and keeping these men sober. According to our statistics, 98.3 out of every 100 clients shall relapse. The average age of our client is 48. The average number of previous drug and alcohol treatment facility admissions? 14. Average. The average total time spent in both jail and treatment programs: 16.4 years. Over a third of their existence has been simply lost.
I, humbly, apologize on our clients' behalf. Yet, I shall not apologize for what I, and my team, do. This is America and I would sincerely appreciate the gesture if our government would have the safety net both in place and funded. I would graciously retire. Thankful. Until then, my God has told me what I must do.
Love, Peace, and God's Blessings,
Rodney Nolen

Two men facing charges after Rutland arrestSeptember 13,2013Two arrested after
man found hiding
Two men are facing criminal charges after police executed a search warrant on Engrem Avenue around 3 p.m. Thursday, according to Senior Trooper Henry Alberico of the Vermont State Police.
In a press release, Alberico said officers with the Rutland City Police Department and the Vermont State Police went to a home on Engrem Avenue in Rutland to locate Ruben R. Pacheco.
Police said Pacheco, 32, of Fair Haven, was the subject of an active warrant for assault and robbery and possession of heroin.
While attempting to locate Pacheco police spoke with Thomas M. Notte. Alberico said Notte, 30, of Rutland, gave troopers false information about Pachecos location and tried to hide Pacheco inside his home, which is also on Engrem Avenue.
Notte was arrested at the scene after Pacheco was found hiding in a closet inside of Nottes home.
Both Pacheco, who was held on $50,000 bail, and Notte, who was held on $25,000 bail, were lodged at the Rutland jail. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned today in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

The effect of institutions on economic growth: A global analysis based on GMM dynamic panel estimation
This study examines how institutional indicators influence economic growth in a theoretical framework proposed by North (1981). Thirty-one indicators each covering 84 countries over a span of 5 years have been used to extract factors based on principal component analysis. Factors based on these indicators are classified as institutional and policy rents, political rents and risk-reducing technologies. These institutional factors are then used in a formal growth model employing panel OLS and GMM-based estimation methodologies. The findings suggest that favorable institutions positively affect economic growth. This study also shows that for a developing country the institutional and policy rent is more important than other two indices that curb political rents and those that reduce transaction risks. This study also highlights the positive complementarities between index of political rents and index of risk-reducing technologies.

It would be interesting to hear some stories of your grandparents in the war, do you guys have any to share? My great grandfather thought with the RAF in the second world war in the Battle of Singapore and here is his story, I never met him so I was never told it from his perspective but here it is how I have heard it:
My Great-grandfather fought in the second World War as a pilot with the Royal Air Force (No. 232 Squadron). He was in the Battle of Singapore in 1942 and unfortunately captured and held captive in a POW Camp by the Japanese among with around 80,000 over allied troops. Luckily though, at the end of war he and 6,000 troops were liberated by US and Australian troops and returned home. Ironically though he suffered no serious injury in WW2 but after the war he was flying a plane recreationally and the engine malfunctioned and crashed, he didn't die but had severe burns on his face and was among one of the first people in Great Britain to have facial reconstruction performed.
Views: 3007
Excellent story! My grandfather, and three of my great uncles volunteered after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. My grandmother crewed an aircraft watch tower as well. My grandfather passed away long before I was born, but we have an amazing picture of him in front of a train depot in France. I inherited much of my facial structure from him, and he smiled the same way I do, so it almost looks like me standing there. There was one particularly amusing conversation, passed down by word from my grandmother. He and another GI were standing on a hillside, looking out at the French countryside. His pal was enamoured with the view, my grandfather, not so much.
Friend: "Wow, this is beautiful. I'd like to have a painting of this to take home and show my wife,"
Grandpa S.: "I could paint it,"
Friend: "Wow Bud, really? What would you need?"
Grandpa S. : "Bucket of shit and a mop..."
I always loved that one.
I'll second that.
My wife's great grandfather fought in the war between the states.
It fell between generations in my family. My grandparents were all in school or younger, and their parents were either reserved occupations (farmers so not conscripted) or were too old for service and served in WW1.
I did have a great uncle who served in the far East.
It's strange that I have more information about the great x4 uncle who died in the Crimean war than I do about him, both sides of the family are not equally interested in family history
My father skippered a B24 liberator, among other airframes, during WWII in the Pacific. He was involved in the Marshall Island campaign and was almost shot down several times. He once took damage on his starboard side and in his Starboard wing to the extent that he lost his inboard engine. Apparently a hole big enough "to drive a car through his wing" per my mother. He limped his plane back to base and apart from some injuries, all crew survived. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, three times. A fellow that he served with told me many years ago, that my father didn't show any emotion during that flight, he would just fly the plane and get us home. He would land, light his pipe, fill out his logs and move on to the next. I only learned of some of the stories from others, as he never talked about it.
I once heard someone at his work ask him for a "few war stories". He contemplated his pipe, looked at the man and said, "I saw a lot of good friends die". Enough said.
Great stories everybody!
From a not too recent family tree research I know that my grandfathers cousins were executed by the Nazi's on account of being in the resistance. Later he married a woman who's father (my great grandfather) was in the NSB (sort of Dutch Nazi Party), but it's generally considered a fact that he was in it to communicate on behalf of the Dutch citizens. One of the reasons that's considered fact is that it's known he sheltered quite a few Jews in his house during the war.
Same grandfather served in Indonesia during the police actions; something we are not in the least bit proud of (Holland that is). Quite a strange idea that at that time my grandfather was on the 'bad side'.
Father's father was a B-17 radioman, flew out of England for 50 total missions, then came back to the states and taught machine gunning out of Louisiana for the rest of the war.
Mother's father was a Marine and landed at Iwo Jima, still trying to find out more, he passed away not long after I was born.
Father's uncle was a paratrooper, injured in the invasion of Sicily, was hidden in a house by locals.
Father's father was Corp of Engineers, but I do not know much about what he did and where. He died just before I was born.
Mother's father was killed in Europe, he had just gotten his citizenship a few years before, and joined the air corps as a translator/interpreter (we had many family members being hunted/killed by the Germans). He died in an airplane crash on duty, and we have his purple heart.
Her adopted father also served in the Pacific - he just died a few weeks ago, but we were able to talk with him many times about his experiences. He still has the smell in his nose, he said, of showing up on the beaches of some of the islands, with dead soldiers piled up in the heat.
My Grandfather is the one with the eye-patch. He served in the Navy during WWII, I'm not sure about which boat. According to my Grandmother, he drove the U-Boats onto the Normandy Beach during D-Day, then he had to clear the bodies off the beach after.
The only story he personally told me was one during Pearl Harbor. He was firing a gun on one of the boats, when suddenly an explosion happens next to him sending shrapnel into his eye (thus the eyepatch). He flew off the gun, over the railing of the ship. His wedding ring got caught on a hook on the side of the ship. He said it nearly took his finger off, but it saved his life in the process. After the war, he became a railroad worker in Mobile, AL.
Even though he died when I was 8 years old (2005), he has still had a profound effect on my life as far as knowing what a true man is.
(Left, pre-Pearl Harbor)
He probably drove a Higgins boat. U-boats are different.
That's right. I don't know a lot about Navy boats. I don't know where I got U-Boat...

Genealogy Software for India
India is the world's second largest country by population size. The national government recognizes 14 languages as official languages of the nation, although over 85 languages and dialects are spoken within the national borders. This presents unique challenges for the genealogist and family historian who may not speak English in obtaining software to manage their records.
English is one of the official languages of India. Therefore, many can use a genealogy record management program whose screens are written in English. There are many programs available such as Ancestral Quest, RootsMagic, and Legacy, and Personal Ancestral File. It is unclear which programs may be available for purchase by users in India whether online or at retail, but Personal Ancestral File is available as a free download at http://www.familysearch.org/ .
Other Language Options
However, not all people in India speak English, so the above options are not always the best for their situation. There are software programs to help the non-English speaking genealogist and family historian such as those who speak Hindi or any of the other languages. Some may have languages spoken by a few people there, but other programs may only be available in the language needed by the user.
Non-English Software Programs Available
Outside of commercially-available Western European language software, and Personal Ancestral File, which also along with several of those languages, has Chinese and Japanese versions, there are programs that only have the language or languages needed by those who only speak the specific language. This section lists those programs. When adding a software title, indicate after the URL which language or language the software is available in.

Hi all,
this is the first time i've been stumped. I'm looking for a way to get an audience's sms text messages into the coll object. I have investigated many ideas including routing the texts from my phone, and receiving the text messages on a web page, and having max work with the web page. Hm. I'm stumped.
The problem is that many of these options simply exceed my programmer experience. See the thing is I'm only good at Max! I know nothing about any other programming.
I thought I'd send out an s.o.s to this brilliant community to see if someone knows how to solve this problem simply.
using my mxj class f0.pdu you can decode audience text messages sent to a single phone connected to maxmsp via the serialport (simple bluetooth or cable connection). see f0.pdu helpfile under [p more…] on how to poll the data from the phone.

Let us tell you about notable Max projects, obscure facts, and creative media artists of all kinds.

EDUCATOR WINS InnovationErie grant
Often, all it takes is a nudge of encouragement from a loved one to change the direction of your life -- taking the plunge to tackle a new career or make that cross-country move.
For teacher-turned-entrepreneur Mary Arete Moodey, 57, that nudge came from her daughter, Claire, and good friends Donna Douglass and Cheryl Bates at a backyard picnic in 2011.
"The three of them encouraged to take the risk and start a business," Moodey said.
Moodey founded MarMooWorks, a venture aided by the InnovationErie Design Competition and the Startup Incubator at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
Her 2012 InnovationErie submission, MarMooWorks iread Books, earned her the competition's grand prize and Media Arts Award, which included grant money, legal services and other assistance.
MarMooWorks -- a play off Moodey's name -- promotes literacy, interactive reading, learning and language at an early age with digital art and children's books.
Moodey, a lifelong writer of literature and poetry, has taught students from kindergarten through college throughout western Pennsylvania for more than 20 years. Moodey published MarMooWorks' first two children's books, "Christopher Counts the Constellations" and "A Hero at Three."
"I want to provide innovative, imaginative opportunities that will engage children in story and language," she said.
Moodey has four adult children: daughters Arete, 33, and Claire, 27; and sons Sam, 25 and Adrian, 18. She first dabbled in childrens literature years ago, writing and illustrating a story for Sam when he was about 8 years old.
Longtime friend Cheryl Bates commissioned Moodey to write a book for her new grandson, Christopher.
Moodey created "Christopher Counts the Constellations," in which a young boy explores the constellations found in his name.
"Constellations have always intrigued me," she said. "Growing up outside of Chicago, our front yard was Lake Michigan and the backyard was woods. At night, my dad and I would go to the beach to look at constellations. It seemed like the perfect fit."
Similarly, Moodey's young neighbors inspired "A Hero at Three."
"Gavin and Riley had such a spirit of adventure and reminded me of my sons when they were little," Moodey said.
"A Hero at Three" is also dedicated to Moodey's friend the late Roy Glass, owner of Silkscreen Unlimited. Moodey was able to read the book to Glass shortly before he succumbed to ALS. "That's the best memory that I will take with me from that book," she said.
Her books include science, rhyme and meter, and the repetition and rhyme help children learn to read.
Moodey credits the Startup Incubator for a good part of her success. "It has all of the resources anyone could possibly want," she said.

Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

Collingwood premiership defender Ben Johnson retires from AFL football
- From: Herald Sun
- July 15, 2013
COLLINGWOOD premiership defender Ben Johnson has told teammates he has played his last game of football.
The 32 year old, who has battled injuries since playing in his most recent AFL match – the Round 3 loss to Hawthorn – has retired after 235 AFL games, five of them Grand Finals.
"I've had a wonderful time. I loved the club before I got here and I am as passionate about Collingwood today as I was then," Johnson said.
"It's been a great ride. We enjoyed some great times, played some great footy and I've met some amazing people, including some of my best mates.
"I just didn't have anything left, really. It was time."
Pies coach and former teammate Nathan Buckley praised Johnson's determination and commitment to the guernsey.
"Ben has represented the club with distinction, but I think more importantly with great passion," Buckley said.
"He wore his heart on his sleeve and bled black and white for the best part of 14 years. I think it's fair to say that he was a great teammate, a great person to have on your side in the trenches."
Johnson was highly regarded as a big occasion player at Collingwood and Magpies president Eddie McGuire described the back flanker as one of the club's greatest servants.
"From the moment he asked for permission to ask Gavin Brown for his number (26) – he had tears in his eyes when Brown agreed – you knew 'Johnno' would give everything he had for the club," McGuire said.
"He was passionate, loyal, tough and selfless, and he gave us two of the greatest highlights any of us will ever know. His tackle on Peter Burgoyne in the qualifying final of 2002 was a match winning moment that ended Collingwood's long finals winning drought.
"And the goal he slotted in the 2010 grand final – you could tell it meant as much to him as it did to every Collingwood supporter.
"'Johnno' can look forward now to having a beer for the rest of his life in the Collingwood past players' bar. It certainly won't be his first. A lot of us look forward to sharing many more great Collingwood moments with him."
Drafted in 1999, Johnson fast overcame any qualms over his unorthodox kicking style to emerge as one of Collingwood's generation next, a group of players that included Leon Davis, Josh Fraser and close friends Chris Tarrant, Rhyce Shaw and Alan Didak.
Johnson leaves the game 14th on Collingwood's all-time games list. Originally published as Pie Johnson hangs up boots

There is no denying the fact that expectations for newly-acquired free agent Albert Pujols will be extremely high this upcoming season, but what about the expectations for their other free-agent pickup C.J. Wilson?
The former Texas Rangers ace was an active contributor in the team's success last season and was the team leader in wins, ERA and strikeouts. All that aside, there is always a significant risk factor associated with bringing in big name free agents to any team.
Wilson was a great pitcher with Texas, but can he avoid becoming a bust in Anaheim?

Marine Who Urinated On Corpses in Afghanistan Dies
By AP
Published: 16th August 2014 11:19 AM
Last Updated: 16th August 2014 11:19 AM
RALEIGH: A decorated retired Marine whose career as a sniper was derailed by a video that showed him urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters has died, his attorney said Friday.
Cpl. Robert Richards, 28, was found dead Wednesday by his wife at their Jacksonville home, Attorney Guy Womack said. Neither foul play nor suicide is suspected.
The death was most likely from Richards changing medications he took because of injuries he suffered in a roadside bomb during one of his three tours in Afghanistan, Womack said.
Richards was demoted from sergeant after a video showed four Camp Lejeune Marines — in full body armor — urinating on three Afghans in 2011. One Marine looks down at the bodies and jokes, "Have a good day, buddy."
The video was posted on YouTube in early 2012. It was condemned internationally and caused outrage in the Middle East.
It was "a temporary lapse of discipline, and it should in no way define the service and honor of the snipers," Womack said.
Richards' sniper unit killed 12 Taliban fighters, some of whom the Marines knew were part of a cell making roadside bombs and training others, Womack said. About a month earlier, the Taliban cell had planted a bomb that blew the legs off a Marine.
One of the Marines in the video testified that their operation was designed to pursue bomb-making experts believed responsible for killing a corporal whose leg was later found hanging from a tree. The Marines were reacting to those events when they urinated on the bodies, Womack said.
"He never said it was OK," Womack said. "Marines shouldn't do that. At the same time, it really wasn't the crime of the century. "
Richards almost died when a roadside bomb exploded near him during his second tour, Womack said. Shrapnel went through his throat and an emergency tracheotomy on the battlefield saved his life, the attorney said. He also almost lost a foot and suffered back injuries. He was awarded a Purple Heart.
Richards was supposed to get 18 months off from active duty, but he returned early when a platoon commander asked him to join a new sniper unit that had no combat veteran snipers.
"He called it a personal obligation and said he would feel guilty if any of them were to die from their inexperience," Womack said.
Richards will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

We've received some unfortunate news here at the Liquor Snob offices. We're not sure how to put it, so we'll just spit it out...it seems our Editor in Chief and Grand High Muckety Muck has developed an allergy to alcohol*. Well, not alcohol so much as the yeasts and sugars used to make it. Turns out the red face and Irish Flu really were caused by his WC Fields lifestyle - just not for the reason he thought.
He's been told by his doctor that he has a chance to get over it, but he has to stay off the sauce for six months. We'll repeat that - Mr. Liquor Snob himself can't drink for half of 2008. He put off his abstinence until after New Year's, his personal national holiday, but now he's committed to the idea.
Not that you have to worry - while he has to get used to things like mornings and finding out what orange juice tastes like without vodka, the interns here will continue to grind out great content about their favorite pastime, and make sure you get your daily shot.
Please feel free to shout out with any advice, catcalls, or mocktail recipes in the comments below, and we'll keep you posted on his willpower.
* Apparently, allergies can be caused by repeated exposure to the allergen. Big shocker, eh?

Historical Traveler Reviews Chateau Marmont West Hollywood
Welcome to the lifestlye of the Rich and Famous!
My friends and I took a trip to L.A. in July of of 04'. We stayed at the Chateau Marmont in a two bedroom suite, and boy was it a hell of a trip. As soon as you hit the stop light on Sunset Blvd, right next to Marmont st., you see a magnificent white Castle-like building hovering over the city, hidden behind shrubbury. You turn up the small street, and enter the parking garage and greeted graciously. As soon as we walked in, we were wating for the elevators and down the stairs walks BEN STILLER. We saw a total of 5 celebrities while at the hotel: Mandy Moore, Jessica Beil, and Benicio Del Toro to name a few. The lobby is dimmly lit, and done in a period decor of 1960's, but it somehow manages to pull of a new age feel. Our hotel room was amazing! Trees stood outside the window (it made me forget I was in L.A.), the kitchen stocked, flat screen TV, great balcony, beautiful furniture, and the bedrooms were so comfortable. Each bed had 2 feather down pillows along with feather comforters. Cotton robes and slippers were hidden in the closet, and the staff was there to serve your every need. The Chateau at nighttime was filled with Hollywood business men and women, movie stars, directors, and other random people shuttled in and out night after night. We ate in the lobby area two nights during our stay (you could eat in the lobby, outisde, or in the extremely small dining room. No matter what wherever you were a waiter was there to serve you) The food was great, and they had a good variety. The staff was extremely accomodating, and always had a smile (except for one woman who didn't like us very much). The hotel is a must STAY if you visit L.A. It is full of history and opulance that I am SURE you won't find anywhere remotely close to this place in the city. By far the nicest place I have been!
Would never stay anywhere else! Just perfect with great service. Nothing too much trouble for the staff.
Not Perfection, But touches the imperfect in us all...
After an enormously comprehensive bit of research into my options, I decided on the Chateau Marmont for a special occasion weekend. The reviews are obviously mixed on the Marmont, as they are most everywhere, but I thought it offered the possibility of something out of the ordinary, and it certainly did.
Tremendous property, classic public areas, a killer pool area...nice private entrance for those staying in the cottages. I admit the furniture in our room was "rustic", but I wasn't expecting furnishings by Corbusier, so enjoy the fact that you won't worry about spilling something on the furniture. Don't overlook Bar Marmont -- in fact, go early -- you can listen to the good music selections, and hear yourself think...much better way to drink in the 1930's Vietnam ambience.
I do feel Chateau Marmont owes it to itself, not to mention its customers, to step up its commitment to service. Room service was a bit uneven, and we experienced a short spell of being "invisible" in the Garden patio restaurant. Marmont staff worked to overcome the small matters, though, and most everyone was very personable and accommodating. Would I come back? Yes I would.
Every bit as fabulous as we'd hoped
After many trips to LA we eventually got to stay at Chateau Marmont in June 04.
Things got off to a good start when we were upgraded from the 1 bed cottage we booked to a 2 bed suite, complete with kitchen, dining room, enormous sitting room, balcony and bathrobes to die for!
Our five year old didn't get chastised when he practised his bomb dives in the pool - in fact the staff were really friendly and welcoming throughout.
The prices at the pool bar were rather extortionate - but in the grand scheme of things - who cares?
Bar Marmont was great fun and surprisingly unintimidating, though the food wasn't really up to much.
As for the hotel - this is the place to stay if you want to bathe in history and atmosphere. Shabby chic dominates, so if you want ultra modern you'll be much better off up the road at the mondrian.
As for us, we won't ever stay anywhere else in LA again.
Finally stayed there!
Had always stayed at the Bel Air or Beverly Wilshire or Peninsula and had done lunch at Marmont but found it more shabby than chic....yet this past trip spent 5 nights in a funkily fab suite with real coloured period tilework yet the amenities great and dreamy beds! Looooved the gym which actually is better equiped and maintained than many bigger and pricier hotels-a big plus with me!
The most beautiful wait staff and nice also and the assorted "celebs" hanging arounbd which is standard of those hotels....Marco at the front desk adorable and super helpful. Will definetely go back!!!
The Venerable and Wonderful Marmont
Ah, the Marmont! Quelle merveille, as the French would say. After all, this was modeled after a chateau in France and a book was written about it as well! I have stayed in both the smaller rooms in the main building and in one of the villas out by the pool. Each time I have stayed here, I feel privileged and special to be a part of the rich history of this fascinating place. Though the hotel has a distinctly old, if not rarefied feel to it, that is part of its charm. The drawing room is very inviting and the front desk used to give free apples to anyone who stayed here. In the flowerchild, riotous Sunset Strip era, the young hippies came through the windows in the drawing room, so they were boarded up until 1971. Nearly every famous musician has stayed here and a host of movie notables as well. Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski called this home before they moved to the ill fated 10050 Cielo Drive in Bel-Air. My sleeps here have always been comfortable, especially the groovy villa with kitchen and its own bedroom. I felt like I was in my own private little castle and the service was awesome.
I would like to try the larger villas, like the one where John Belushi died, but I would recommend the smaller one if charm, seclusion and ultimate pampering is what you crave. A great stay I would no doubt repeat in the future. This is a very special and unique hotel experience.
Not Ready for its Close-Up
The physical property is amazing, and lives up to the hype. I had one of the cottages, and it was a perfect reproduction of a 30s bungalow.
The big disappointment about the Chateau is the complete lack of service. Let me emphasize: the total lack of service. Every time I asked a staff member for something, they first looked startled, they they looked puzzled, then they would mumble something along the lines of, "Well, I guess I could do that for you if you really want me to." I needed a cab one evening, and I was actually told to walk down to Sunset Boulevard and hail one myself, "because that would probably be faster". When I checked in, though I had several large bags, not a soul among the staff made any attempt to help me with them, even though they watched me go up and down several staircases, over rough cobblestones, to get to my cottage. Lastly, my cottage ran out of hot water three times in a four day stay. The Chateau is clearly coasting on its reputation, and needs to wake up and start taking itself seriously as a hotel, not just as an icon.
A princely stay at the Marmont
Step back into an era when stars like Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Wood required the utmost in service and discretion. This Hollywood icon, tucked neatly away on the Sunset Strip will provide you with an experience you will never forget. The original 1950's decor in each room is delightful, off-beat and charming. The service is outstanding with a staff that strives to meet every need. The twenty four hour room service is perfect for those late nights on the most famous strip in the world!
Great spot for relaxing & star gazing!
My children and I just returned from a 5 day stay in California which included 3 nights at the Chateau. We stayed in Bugalow 1 whihc had plenty of room and nothing for anyone to break. We had modern conveniences like large television with video & dvd players, and a great cd player for music in the living room. A large veranda provided a safe outdoor play space, and wonderful atmosphere for after dinner drinks with friends. The 24-hour heated pool provided night swims - a new thrill! Breakfast and late nights in the courtyard provided ample opportunities to celebrity watch. The staff were pleasant and happy to accommodate our needs, adjusting the menu for our youngest daughter. The location was perfect for visiting Universal, Manns Chinese theater, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and a straight shot to LAX. We plan to return! Meals were pricey, but we had a full kitchen to help with minor meals and snacks. Immediatley after our arrival we recieved a plate of warm homemade cookies, and each evening we returned to find our drapes drawn and our sheets turned down. We can't wait to return!
Offbeat, elegant and pricey
We make a point to stay at the Marmont once a year for a "Hollywood" weekend of decadence. I've stayed in the cottages, the junior suites and the regular rooms over the years. To me, the regular rooms don't warrant the sky high tarrifs, and the jr suites offer the most bang for your buck. Every accomodation is different and it's this quirkiness that keeps us coming back. It's not fussy or pristine but it is full of atmosphere and homey. The courtyard is great for a long breakfast and the pool is good fun to relax as the buzz of Sunset Blvd goes past the walls. Recent price hikes seem a bit extravagant but I suppose most of the clientel is not footing the bill themselves.

We finally dragged ourselves away later in the afternoon and headed to the Beverley Centre by foot. This was a huge mistake - the walk wasn't interesting and it was a long way. Eventually we all rebelled and Ben gave in, calling an uber. Once at the centre, I took the girls to Macy's while Ben went to look at men's stuff. Everything was on super sale ...
Santa Monica and Venice
Today is Dad's birthday, so we were up early and ready to rejoin the Hop-on, hop-off bus from yesterday. This time we would venture further out, towards the beaches.
We did the same start of the loop as yesterday before we transferred bus lines, which wasn't so bad, because the commentary was dropping in and out yesterday, so we got to hear things we had missed.
We made our way by bus down to Santa Monica, a beachside town. At first, it looked like ...

We had downloaded apps which kept you updated on the wait times for each ride, we packed bags full of secret snacks (non-Disneyland purchased food is not allowed inside the park), we wore our walking shoes. Stretched up, and armed with maps, we were ready to go.
As soon as we entered, it was clear that this Disneyland was much bigger than any one we had been to before. ...

I finally stepped it up in Beijing during my layover and spoke to the girl across the aisle from that I had been staring at the last 12 hours. We ended up having a nice dinner in the Beijing airport waiting for our flights. I realize looking back now ...
The arrival
... walking the street for sometime before realising the sign was much further away then we thought and it was getting more and more rough the further we walked , we couldn't call a taxi as we have no phones and didn't know the number or were we were for that matter . Luckily we eventually hailed one driving by after sometime , learnt out lesson there. Got back to the room ready for a full nights sleep to reset our body clocks and prepare us for another day of adventuring LA ...

Seals' scouting report – The fact that Paul won't be joining the Cyclone program until this fall is no problem, as he is used to learning on the fly. In addition to being a dominator at the point of attack, Fisher is athletic enough to lead plays in space. His maturity and experience also shouldn't be overlooked.
ISU head coach Dan McCarney on Fisher -- "It came down to Iowa State and Wisconsin for Paul and Scott. They had other offers and opportunities, but it was a two-team race for a long time. We felt like both those guys would come in and immediately challenge for one of those number one spots. That's not playing time or number two, but challenge for a number one."
Short-term outlook – Although he won't be entering the mix until this summer, Paul will have a great shot to win a starting job in training camp. Before signing with the Cyclones, he inked with BYU and Utah, so he knows all about the rigors of Division I ball and the expectations. The mammoth lineman will challenge at the right tackle position and could force returning starter Aaron Brant inside to guard. Otherwise, he could be used in a three-man rotation at tackle with Brant and his brother Scott.
