Shakira Riding Her Bicicleta in Barranquilla

Let's just say Shakira should stick with penguins. Over the weekend, the Colombian pop singer got a little too close to a few sea lions while vacationing in Cape Town, South Africa – close enough that one of the aquatic mammals tried to attack her.
"Suddenly, one of them jumped out of the water so fast and impetuously that it got about one foot away from me, looked me in the eye, roared in fury and tried to bite me," she wrote on her Facebook page. – read more
I don't know if it's really worth posting these Shakira bikini photos considering that they're so blurry that you can barely tell it's her, but I know there are some Shakira fans out there that won't mind the blurriness even if it seems like they have their beer goggles on while looking at these photos.
Shakira was in Milan for the 2011 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Shakira and Enrique were the big winners at this year's award show. But the question is, did she deserve the awards? If you were to ask the fans after her concert in Yas Island they'd probably say absolutely not. Many of the fans were extremely disappointed with her recent performance according to The National:
"Shakira in yasisland UAE was lip singing [sic]… It was horrible. What a shame," said one Twitter user, Zack083, on his feed shortly after the concert had ended. "Shakira and lipsync should be trending in the uae [sic] now," he added.
"It was horrible," tweeted another. "What a shame." – read more

New Horizon Supplements Announces 40% Off Their New Turmeric Based Supplement For Limited Time
Aiming at supporting brain, heart, liver and digestive system functions as well as pains of the joints and back, New Horizon Supplements has recently launched their exclusive supplement. Now the company reduced the sale price by 40% for limited time.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 05, 2014 ) Manteca, CA -- New Horizon Supplements has just announced that their new Curcumin C3 Complex ® supplement is offered at 40% discount. This supplement aims at tackling joint and back pain, as well as supporting brain and liver performance.
Ten Top Benefits of Turmeric Curcumin C3 Complex®, EPA/DHA, MSM in addition to Vitamins (B6, B12, C)
Ten Top Benefits of Turmeric Curcumin C3 Complex®, EPA/DHA, MSM in addition to Vitamins (B6, B12, C)
According to this business, the supplement consists of the proprietary blend Turmeric Curcumin C3 Complex supplement®, EPA/DHA, MSM in addition to Vitamins (B6, B12, C) and BioPerine ®. The supplement acts as an anti-oxidant, which professionals have said aids in safeguarding the cells within the body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals, as the experts say, are present everywhere in the environment, and they are said to cause problems ranging from rapid aging to cancer, among many other conditions.
According to the manufacturers of this product, Curcumin C3 Complex ® supplement is made with 95% curcuminoids (Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin and Bisdemethoxycurcumin). BioPerine ®, which is an extract of black pepper is added to promotes the absorption of the ingredients within the digestive system. The product also contains vitamin C, B-12, B-6, and fish oil omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) because they are believed to have an overall beneficial effect on the body.
It is believed that the fish oil Omega 3 in the supplement supports healthy heart functioning, including the reduction of inflammation and to help reduce the pain that is associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. This is based on studies that have been conducted which show that individuals who consumed fish oil on a regular basis were more likely to reduce their reliance on NSAIDs, when compared with other test subjects in the control group.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is one component of the proprietary blend that also has anti-inflammatory properties and may be used to relieve joint pains. It can control soreness in many parts of the body. It may improve respiratory conditions.
The manufacturer recommends that individuals take two doses of the supplement each day, along with a glass of water, unless recommended otherwise by a healthcare professional. There are 60 capsules in one bottle, therefore allowing one bottle to last one month.
Dawit Asfir, the spokesperson for the company commented "In an attempt to introduce our new supplement to more people we cut the price by 40% for limited time". She added "We anticipate many new and our existing customers take advantage of this great offer".

15. It's Not Over (hidden track)
The first time I put on Got to Tell the World, the new album by local Pop/Rock foursome Screaming Mimes, and cued up the first track, Youre the Kind of Girl, I listened for about a minute then had to run outside to pay my parking meter. Walking back to the office, I found myself already singing the chorus hook in my head, totally unconsciously. Thats a sign of great songwriting, showing singer/guitarist David Storms intuitive grasp of what makes an instantly memorable Pop melody. World (the bands third LP) is, start to finish, loaded with these kinds of ear-candy hooks. If you dont have a handful of these melodies in your head after listening to the album once, you should see an otologist.
The band can lean toward a Soft Rock side at times the tune Open could have made Toto a million dollars but the sturdy songcraft still shines through. The tracks that feature a strong, upbeat groove seem to work best: Motion and Beating Like a Drum (among others) infuse Ska rhythms, sounding a bit like The Samples. The Saddest Girl in the World has an anthemic quality and Third Eye Blindish jaunt, while the hidden track, Its Not Over, gives the band a chance to show off their musicianship as they go nuts during a 10-minute jam.
The Mimes show versatility on World and, despite a few down moments, its the sort of album you can put on and know that your mood and spirit will be lifted. Mike Breen 1-13-10

For the second time in the program's seven-year history the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team will advance to the semifinal round of the ECAC Hockey Tournament after defeating St. Lawrence in a hard-fought quarterfinal round series at Cheel Arena.
The Golden Knights earned the right to advance after knocking off the Saints 4-1 in the series' deciding third on Sunday before a crowd of 552 in Potsdam. Clarkson opened the quarterfinal series on Friday with a 5-0 blanking of St. Lawrence, but the Saints came back on Saturday with a 2-1 win to force Sunday's contest.
Ranked sixth in the country, Clarkson will now host perennial national powerhouse Harvard in a semifinal game at Cheel next Friday, March 5 at 4:00 or 7:00 p.m. The Knights, who finished second in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 14-5-3 league mark, own a 22-10-5 record.
ECAC All-Stars, junior goaltender Lauren Dahm (Baldwinsville, NY) and senior defenseman Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT) played a leading role in Sunday's victory. Dahm posted 21 saves to record her 44th career win and Eusepi led a solid defensive effort along with recording a goal and an assist. Sophomore standout Juana Baribeau (Amos, QUE) led all scorers with one goal and two assists.
Clarkson controlled throughout taking a 3-0 lead early in the third period. St. Lawrence got on the scoreboard late in the game with an extra attacker score, but Baribeau sealed the Knights' 15th win of the season at home with an empty-net goal with 1:57 remaining.
Clarkson was especially strong in special teams play, going 2-of-4 on the power play while killing off all seven of St. Lawrence's man-advantage opportunities.
Sophomore Gabrielle Kosziwka (Limehouse, ONT) started the scoring late in the first period when she picked up a rebound off of freshman Danielle Skirrow's (Trenton, ONT) shot and put in her sixth goal of the season. Freshman defenseman Hailey Wood (Lethbridge, ALB) started the play with a pass from the point.
The Knights made it 2-0 early in the middle frame with a power-play tally. Just 18 seconds into the man-advantage, junior Melissa Waldie (Newmarket, ONT) redirected a hard shot from the blueline by Eusepi for her 16th goal of the season, and team-high 10th power-play marker at 4:47. Baribeau also assisted.
Quick work again with the man-advantage led to Clarkson's third goal. Just 15 seconds into the Knights' fourth power play of the game, Eusepi connected on a slap shot from the point at 3:01 for her sixth goal of the season. Baribeau and senior Dominique Thibault (L'Orginal, ONT) set up the goal.
With 2:39 remaining in regulation, St. Lawrence pulled goaltender Maxie Weisz for the extra attacker, and the moved paid off as Kirsten Roach scored for the Saints' lone goal. Time ran out for St. Lawrence (16-14-7, 11-9-3), which had advanced to the previous six semifinal rounds of the ECAC Hockey Tournament.
Clarkson out shot St. Lawrence 24-22.

Two volunteers are from Wichita Falls.
One man is in Florida helping run shelters there and a woman who works in the local Red Cross office is helping run shelters in Tyler and Longview.
Those are open to people who flee Louisiana.
Also, the Wichita Falls Emergency Response Vehicle, or ERV, could be deployed at any time.
It can be used to take food and supplies to people affected by the storm.
Katrina Farmer, who's with the American Red Cross of North Central Texas, says, "With that, we have to supply a team of two to go with it. We've got our ERV team on stand-by, as well as the actual vehicle on stand-by, ready to go at a moment's notice if they call us and tell us that they need us anywhere."
The American Red Cross has enough supplies on hand to support and shelter 350-thousand people.

Q:Give an explicit formula for a function from the set of all integers to
the set of positive integers that is neither one-to-one nor onto.
Can someone give me some hints as to how I should approach this question because honestly, I have no idea how to do this question.
Answer with explanation would be nice. xD
If we let two integers to be on the same partition(even or odd) -not one-one
then how do we get it to be not onto as well?
so if the function is ((x^2)-8x+7)
x = 7 and x = 1(both in odd partition)
How would you prove it not to be onto?

With Loretta Lynn Area Qualifiers popping off all over the country, coupled with the end of the best supercross season in the last decade (maybe ever) and the start of the World Championships, it goes without saying that we've been quite busy. We're working on covering as many Area Qualifiers as possible and will also be covering a healthy bit of the Regional qualifers next month as well.
While Vurb was unable to attend the Southwest Area Qualifier at Aztec MX in New Mexico, the kind folks at nolimitracing.com sent us over a brief report with a little video they put together. Read on for a brief highlight of the event and be sure to check out the image lightbox and video as well.
It was an exciting weekend of racing at Round 1 of the No Limit MX Racing Motocross Championship Series / AMA Loretta Lynn SW Area Qualifier held at the Aztec MX Track in Aztec, NM this past weekend. In only the start of the third year since taking over management of the Aztec MX Track, the No Limit MX track crew has completely rebuilt the Aztec MX Track into what many are calling a national level track. This weekend marked the first ride on the newly redesigned national track.
Qualifying races kicked off Saturday with some heavy hitters in the amateur national ranks in attendance including: Brandon Smith, Johnny Garcia, Jose Ceja, Mikey Witcher, Kyle Guinn, Casey Brennan, Tyler Lindahl, Gabriel Jairala, Terrance Yarborough, Zack Gurley.
Terrence Yarborough took top honors in the 450B class while Zack Gurley took the top spot in 450A. The two riders put in some very impressive laps throughout the weekend. Gabriel Jairala showed most of the 65cc riders the fast way around the track while dominating the 65cc classes respectively.
The next race is an NMA Ponca City Qualifier on April 30th –May 1st. Visit www.nolimitmxracing.com or www.aztecmx.com for more details.

Skip to comments.Has Support for Gays Cost Obama the Black Vote?
Posted on 06/03/2012 1:01:15 AM PDT by bruinbirdman
Obama's declaration of support for same-sex marriage has African-American communities up in arms. Many African-Americans live in a culture that values strong masculine figures and looks down on homosexuality. Many put their faith in what their pastors say and what is written in the Bible, including the statement that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
Pastor Dwight McKissic from Arlington, Texas, declared, "Obama has betrayed the Bible." Pastor William Owens from Memphis, Tennessee, decried what he described as "the homosexual community hijacking the civil rights movement," adding, "I did not choose to be black, and you did not choose to be white -- and homosexuals make a choice to be homosexual. So why compare what we went through with your situation? It's not the same thing; there's no comparison."
Owens is now threatening to sabotage Obama's re-election, and he and many other ministers are using their Sunday sermons to oppose Obama's support for same-sex marriage. Owens has founded an interest group of 13 African-American pastors in Tennessee to take action against Obama. They're determined to deny Obama their votes if he doesn't recant.
Many former supporters, meanwhile, sound considerably less enthusiastic these days. African-American professor Cornel West, for example,
(Excerpt) Read more at spiegel.de ...
In short, hell no! The Blacks will crawl over broken glass to vote for Zer0. The support for gays is Zer0's way to get under moral Whitey's skin.
Nope. Blacks who voted for Obama will do it again this year. Blue collar White Democrats, however, might not.
Won't matter - nothing will - they'll still grovel, crawl and slobber over the marxist, racist, criminal, 0bummer. Some won't, but the majority, and all of them on the lib-dem plantation, still will. Sad but true.
I bet a few more Blacks will stay home on election day this time around, and that will likely be what it takes to get the Marxist out.
Possibly, but I think there is going to be a massive and coercive get out the vote effort by the left. The block organizers will come for you and take you to the polls and make sure that your supposedly secret ballot is cast for Obama.
I've coached basketball for many years at various levels, from recreation leagues to AAU. This means I interact with many black parents, at games, on trips, banquets etc. They know my politics. Politics comes up a lot. ALL of them were for Obama four years ago.
Of the eight or ten black parents I know well, only a couple of them are still openly for Obama. The best way I can describe the rest of them is that they are embarrassed by him and want him off the stage. These are good, solid, church-going middle class blacks, for the most part. They drive decent cars and go out to eat frequently. I sensed they were embarrassed by him before the gay marriage announcement. Now they overtly express disgust, not so much with Obama, but curiously with Michelle. Many of the women abhor her. More than a few have openly admitted they will stay home in November.
Their kids hang out with, and date whites. I coach girls too. One of my white girl stars ended up marrying a black player that I also coached. The black boys date white girls, and vice-versa. We're in a new world, folks. I bet we'll see 90% of the black vote still go to Obama, but turnout will be way down.
In the beginning, healthcare was not on their radar. It is now. They've never had much to say about Obama's foreign policy but can't seem to find anything they like about his domestic policies. They've made the connection between gas prices and food prices, and Obama's policies. Many of them have told me they don't like Eric Holder. Hmmm. Didn't see that one coming. They were completely polarized on Trayvon/Zimmerman, and now none of them want to talk about it.
I know this is anecdotal, the sample size is tiny, and these are not inner city blacks I'm speaking of, but I don't believe Obama can count on monolithic allegience this time.
Obama hasn't delivered, and the novelty of making history isn't there this time. In short, there's just not going to be the same enthusiasm as there was in 2012. I suspect Obama will still get the same percentages as he did in 2008, but the overall numbers of black voters, and other traditionally Democratic groups, is likely to be down a bit. It won't be just because of the gay issue, though it will be part of it.
Nope, still the same. Of course, small numbers will stay, but vast majority will march to the voting booth. For two reasons. First, racial identity. Second, government assistance. The second reason being the more important one.
Interesting, coach. Thanks.
Like FReeper A'elian'nation said yesterday in "The Friendless President"...
Obama has no roots in his own party. Like his Black friends say, He was never there for the struggle, and that applies more to the heavy democrat party lifting than the civil rights movement.
Need more evidence?...
HOORAY Glenn Beck!
"In short, hell no! The Blacks will crawl over broken glass to vote for Zer0. The support for gays is Zer0s way to get under moral Whiteys skin."
In 2008 at this point Black enthusiasm to vote was at 78%. Today it is at 78%. Anyone who thinks this Gay "marriage" issue will improve that 48% is just wrong.
It is more important for evil to destroy American. Obama is a servant of evil.
17+ taxpayer paid vacations haven't cost The Black vote.
Greater Black unemployment haven't cost him the Black vote.
Chicago style corruption will never cost the Black vote.
Obama could be Mugabe and he still would get the Black Vote.
It will not matter one bit. The one's who do vote will still be for the color of the skin. n/s
Eric Holder met with Black pastors passed out the talking points and all have received their marching orders. The Black vote will be astronomical this year again.
That is why we need to get everyone for Romney.
I don't like Romney and am not excited about him, but the alternative is unthinkable.
Hell, they're so far up his a$$ that most would probably convert to homosexuals if he asked them - just to stick it to Whitey, ya know...
You have good parents who are involved with their kids. Their kids participate in sports and they show up. I've seen it first hand myself, but in a school with kids with difficulties.
If the parents were white they ALL showed up, to support their kids. The blacks no. On parent teacher night classrooms with more black children were empty. My lib friend was convinced it was socio-economic. (They couldn't get off work, etc) I felt it was cultural. (The Democrat mantra - it's the schools job to teach my kid, not mine). The teacher told me the parents were either hostile towards the system and didn't care.
Just the same, your anecdotal story is nice to hear. It shows some people think with their brain, and not their skin.
"Many put their faith in what their pastors say "
If I recall, the leftist aka progressive black pastors said. God dam America.
People looking for freebies will vote for obama regardless.
Both candidates have "betrayed the bible".
I wish.
Perhaps a small percentage of them but the black vote would vote go for him no matter what. They are like sheep for the Democrat Party. Most of his policies are bad for them but that hasn't stopped them from voting for him yet.
It appears to me that Obama's support of Homosexuality proves that a man's sexual preference is even stronger than his racism.
Wasn't Larry Sinclair white?
More than a few were raised in places that didn't permit guns, but one couple we know who were anti-gun felt compelled to buy some of late. Spent the holiday weekend trying them out. Now they are talking about going back and asking about different types of guns. I think they are hooked - lol!
Two words: 0bama money.
Nope! Obama will get over 90% of the black vote. If he was caught smoking crack with hookers, he'd still have their support.

Oh, Apple, you are such a tease. On their corporate conference call yesterday, the most adorable of all computer companies dropped word on a new product without offering much information, other than the fact that it's going to be cool and it's going to be here before the end of September. There is net.speculation that Apple may introduce some new devices that are smaller than a laptop but larger than an iPhone.
A lap-phone, maybe? In any case, we'll let you know more when we know more.

M60 v4 Floorstanding Speakers
Rated 5.0 Stars Based on 85 Reviews.
Last year I purchased a set of M22 speakers after doing plenty of research into different brands. At first I was apprehensive about ordering online, but all the information I could find on Axiom rea ssured me that this was not a fly-by-night operation. The service was excellent and the products were great! My only regret was that I didn't find this brand sooner. After having such a good experience with my M22s I went back to Axiom again and bought a much larger set of M60s. In a word, "WOW" I can't believe the sound quality and build of these speakers is so good at the price they sell them for. I'll keep these speakers for a long time and maybe next year add a sub to my system. Thank you Axiom.
Ordered a pair of M60 v3's that were custom maple, but refurbished. I called Axiom and spoke to Brent who assured me they were in very good condition and had been tested to ensure audio quality was as good as new. We ordered the speakers to replace a 14 year old set of Paradigm Monitor 7 v.2's. The M60's were at our house within days and once we set them up and put on some music, even my wife could tell there was a huge difference! We couldn't believe what we had been missing for so many years. The M60's were perfectly balanced with nice highs and tight lows. We've been listening to all of our music over again. Highly, highly recommended!
love my M60s best sound that I have heard in a long time. You even impressed my son and he has a lot of Carver amps.
I bought the M60s because of sound (and build) quality, excellent reviews, and value for the money. I'll leave a review when I get a chance, i.e., when I can next draw my self away from listening to my M60's!
Quick and client friendly service. Superior quality product with fantastic sound. We are very pleased with our purchase.
I purchased these nearly 5 years ago. I compared them with several speakers at similar price points and some well above. I will say this, Paradygm, B&W and any major brand have absolutely nothing on the clarity and imagery that these posses. They compare Very favorably with Martin Logan''s lower level electro-stats, in fact I felt voices are smoother on the Axioms and a bit less in-your-face. I am impressed and will be getting center channel soon.
I am sure I don't have to tell you but these speakers sound amazing. I had a set of JBL's from the late 80's that I thought were the best and "they don't make them like that anymore". Where as late 80's JBL rock your speakers make them sound like, well, thirty year old speakers. I have never bought speakers without listening to them before but the fears was unjustified these are a 10/10. When I replace my rear speakers you will be hearing from me again. Oh and by the way thanks for shipping them to me for the weekend. Since I have to work labour day this is my long weekend. You just made it a whole lot better!
Finally installed the M60's after finishing family room renovations and I'm delighted.
I''ve owned these speakers for about 5 years and they sound as good today as they did the day they arrived. They may not be full range but in my 20'' x 25'' room they absolutely shake the timbers. The sound is crystal clear and robust. Along with my larger Axiom center channel speaker, the sound stage is outstanding.
The product arrived very quickly and in excellent shape. I was very pleased with the look and finish of the speakers and they have started to sound warmer and warmer the more they are played. I am very happy with my purchase.
Ordering was easy, delivery lightning fast, and the product was beyond my expectations. Keep up the good work and thank you!
I heard about Axiom via the Internet, and was looking for a Canadian manufactured speaker system. Comparing to your cousins in Montreal (Totem), I believe your systems sound clearer now that I have heard them both, love the design, and the the same capability of speaker costs half the price. Our new M60 v3 speakers sound amazing and crystal clear. We have a large living room with 10 ft ceiling, more than 300 sq ft, and this room along with the rest of the house is filled with beautiful sound. Delivery was lightning speed. You promised the speakers would be build in 10 days, they were...and shipping was less than 24 hours to Toronto. Product finish is excellent, sound as I indicated is superb. Overall: Extremely pleased. Thank you. The passion in what you do is evident.
I heard about Axiom through a freind who is an Axiom owner. I went to is house to check out his HTPC and the sound of his M80's blew me away, best speakers I had ever heard. I guess there are always ways to improve...but I'm not sure were. Talking to your rep before purchase was invaulable. Throughly enjoying my M60's. Music listening is a different experience now....I'm not an sound expert, but I am a musician and these speaker are beautiful.
I try two other different speaker energy and paradigm(good product also) and FOR ME Axiom is superior in sound clearly ,better power and quality of material!!!exellent precense NO NEED sub ,and I am amateur and player instrument and singer opera. In this case i listen opera ,instrumental ,vocal ,blue ,jazz ,metal ,progressive ....with my experience. The shipping and package is handsome!!!WOWWWWWWW i recommended this speaker ANYTIME and for service or any question the technical service is excellent and THANKS TO AXIOM issssssss the BESTTTTTT
"I am still stunned! I received my M60 speakers yesterday, after only 1 business day. And the deal was amazing! Thank you Axiom, making it possible for me to get into the world of audiophiles."
"They are a perfect match to my VP150 and they make everything just "pop" like my Polk towers never did. I'm still trying different room equalizations setting because the midrange is much more than I had previously. They were shipped a bit slowly from the factory, but Fedex took only 2 days to leave them in my driveway. Very happy overall."
"The product is fantastic, the marketing is comprehensive and the delivery was unexpectedly fast - ordered at 8.30pm Tuesday, delivered to Sydney Australia on Friday 12.30pm."
I can't not describe how happy I'm with my M60s. For 12 long years I listen to my crapy Technics system on my Def Tech BP8 which are not bad speakers but didn't know what I was missing till the damn system thank God broke down and replace it with a Denon 2808 and Marantz 5004 cd player and there was a change and knew it would be better if I replaced the speakers, so I went to the local dealer and was going to buy Paradigm Monitor 11s which I felt in love with but have to wait for the big sale which is happening at the end of the month. Any ways I decided to check the reviews on Paradigm on line and bumped in to one of the forums where a guy recommended to check Axiom and after ordering my M60s with the idea to have till got the Paradigm. You guys WON! I LOVE AXIOM! You guys rock and are the best and I'm recommending you to all my friends! Thank you and have a great Day. :)
I'm really enjoying the M60's. A friend of mine who is an audiophile and electronic musician passed by my place a week ago and brought a couple of CDs he qualified as "ear candy". So we put on an album by Pig & Dan, something to test them at a higher volume, an album with really good studio production. We were both blown away by the clarity of the sound and since then my speakers seem to have broken-in and sound even better! My house sounded like a nightclub for an hour or so hahaha! Thanks for the quality product! I'll be enjoying my M60's for many years to come. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Amie! I love the axioms!
The mid range sounds are beautifully and smoothly rendered. The low end sound remains clean with superb tight bass.
Seriously good speakers. Worth every penny.
Thought I would drop you a line and let you know how impressed I am with these speakers. They're about 3 months old now and they're sounding better every day and they sound better the louder I play them! I got them up front with your M3ti on the B channel it's the best combination I've ever had and I've been through a lot of speakers. Last night my buddy was over and we put on Van Halen First CD and opened a beer. We thought Eddie was playing in my front room the midrange on those speakers is so good. He thought I had a sub he couldn't believe it when I popped the grill off and showed him those two little 6.5 inch drivers. Those are great drivers! Needless to say he just payed twice as much for his speakers and was ready to throw them away after hearing mine. Thanks.
Thank you for providing me with great service and a product that exceeded my expectations. My wife is as excited as I am about the aesthetics and tonal quality of the speakers. They really bring my cd's to life. We both agree that it seems like we are at a concert while listening to these speakers. My only wish is that they have longevity; otherwise I have no complaints. I will definitely choose your speakers when I upgrade to surround sound.
I've set up my 60s and started playing our collection of CDs and DVDs with them and the VP100. We've a pair of QS4s that I bought a couple of years ago, and everything blends together nicely. So far, all the reactions have been positive! Thanks for following up, and best regards,
Amie, I received them 20 hours after you have shipped them.......it's a shipping record! First impression.....they are wonderfulllllll! I am so glad to have been to audioreview.com prior to make my choice. As you probably know your speakers receive such a great review on that website. You deserve it without any dought! Two days before, I have been to a well known audio store in Montreal where they let me listened to Paradigm, BW and others (about the same configuration as the 60).....just for fun to compare....even if I knew already that I would tried yours..... Even If I didn't have had lots of time yet to fully appreciate your speakers, I can tell you that I feel that your speakers are as quality good as the others sold at that store. Sound, presence, etc....they are superb. For 1100$ canadien it's a steel!......compared to the 1500$ to 2000$ of the Paradigm and BW, etc. Axiom is the way to go! Thanks again for your very good service and advices,
I got the speakers Thurs. afternoon. I played a album I know real well by Diana Krall. The first cut was Lets face the music and dance. The speakers instantly disappeared. It was like Diana Krall was right in the room. Sunday afternoon a friend of mine brought over The day after tomorrow. With addition of the the M60S The sound was nothing short of amazing. The LFE could knock the china out of the closet. I know with time they will only improve. I'm really happy with these speakers already. I definitely made the right choice with Axiom.
They play ALL types of music very well...and I couldn't be happier with the customer service!
I've been nothing short of astounded with all the axiom speakers I own (M3, M40, QS8, VP100).
Thank you for following up on my order. I received them last week and am very pleased with my purchase. The sound and build quality are unmatched in this price range and really dont know how you guys do it. These speakers will be with me for a long time. If I decide on additional surrounds or presence speakers in the future you can bet I will be back! Thanks.
As for the mighty M60s themselves, I'm thrilled with their performance thus far! They've replaced a pair of PSB Image 4Ts, which I still highly enjoy, however the M60s are surely a more competant pair of speakers for music, and I belive music is a taller order for a speaker than home-theatre use. I no longer use my EP-175 for music, as I always have with the PSB 4Ts. The M60s have plenty of authoritative bass on their own, mids are clear and present, and the highs are sweet without ever becoming fatiguing, sizzly, or generally obnoxious, as other tweeters of lower-priced speakers can be. I'm fully satisfied with my M60s, and don't expect to buy any more speakers for some time, but when the need arises, you can bet Axiom will the first brand I look to. Thanks again for your great products, ridiculous prices, and fabulous customer-service. Cheers!
I just wanted to let you know what a great experience it has been doing business with Axiom Audio. The customer service is exceptional and the products are true value. I love the open and detailed sound of the M60s. The QS8s are fantastic surrounds, I'm looking forward to hearing how they perform on SACD / DVD Audio. I will definitely be recommending Axiom to my friends.
I just wanted to tell you guys these speakers rock! I pulled out my Steely Dan (Aja) Wow...you can hear all the instruments--it's incredible. Thanks again,
You can fool some people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time. Bob Marley. I am refering to some of your competitors. As for your speakers, Bob's next verse is, "And now I see the light..." I am impressed with your M60s. Thank you,
I received the speakers on Jan. 7th in very excellent condition...no dent, no blemishes whatsoever. I was very excited when I got it and hooked up right away to my Denon AVR-3805 and the sound was so amazing. I was almost blown away by the sound. No need to break in, the M60Ti did its job right from the box. You did a very good job designing these speakers, they're magnificent... Congratulations to all of you in Axiom. The reviews were right, no need for audition. I'll be back to you when I need to upgrade my surround speakers.
Thanks for your message. My M60Ti speakers were delivered promptly, and they look and sound absolutely amazing! I appreciate the ease of the entire transaction with Axiom Audio. Cheers,
I received my Axiom M60ti speakers yesterday and immediately set them up....I've listened to them for 4hrs non stop and all I can say is..they are fabulous!!!! the speaker itself is gorgeous and the sound is just PHENOMENAL...Thank you for putting out such an outstanding product!!!! I confess now that I had my reservations evnthoug I read lots of reviews on the net, compounds that with the fact that axiom is not well known or a brand people recognize...Let me assure you that I will "plug" axiom anytime I get the chance.....Is there any "thing" i should do or you recommend to keep my axioms looking great, as far as maintenance I mean? I am now contemplating the addition of a couple of M3s in the near future....Thank you again for an outstanding product..Shipping was unbelievably fast, I placed the order on 12/16 and on 12/20 I had the axioms up and running......You have made a customer for life.
Thanks for the message. I'm thrilled with both the speakers and the service. I can't believe they shipped on Christmas Eve and got here on Monday - outstanding. As for the speakers; not much more to say than WOW. Didn't know what I was missing with my little bookshelf stereo speakers. Thanks for the very attentive customer service.
Just want to drop you a quick note of Thanks! Your Company has exceeded all of my expectations! The speakers & stands arrived on Friday. The attention to detail (screwdrivers provided, etc), build, clarity and stereo imaging is absolutely astounding! (matched with my HK 7200). I never realized that Beethoven's 9th had all those wonderful instruments
The speakers look and sound great! They are a perfect match for our oak entertainment center. I'm extremely happy with them, including how quickly they arrived. I was taking something of a gamble, not having heard any Axiom speakers before and going strictly on reviews. The reviews were right! Thanks for the excellent merchandise,
That was one the fastest service I've ever had. I have opened the boxes and arranged the speakers but haven't had a chance to connect them yet. I can imagine that they will sound as good as they look (even my wife love the color).
The speakers arrived on time and intact. They sound very nice. I want to thank all of you at Axiom for a very easy and helpful shopping experience that led to a most fulfilling stereo experience. Please thank John (I'm not sure how he spelled it) for helping size the subwoofer. It seems perfect for the room. Without his input, I surely would have purchased the wrong size. My friend, Reagan steered me right when he told me to consider Axiom. Sincerely,
Everything is fine so far. I just got them hooked up last night and they sound GREAT!
I received my speakers and totally LOVE em!!! Had some friends come over the same day and they were VERY impressed. I now have another friend looking into a pair of M60's or M80's in the near future. These speakers are such an excellent value. Cheers.
I am very pleased with my pair of m60's, how they were packed/shipped and how fast they arrived, excellant work. I can not say enough about how much of a pleasure it is to deal with a company that takes pride in the work that they do. I look forward to future speaker purchases from axiom and you have a loyal customer for life. You guys at axiom really run a professional business, and take care of your customers. Thanks again.Sincerely,
Beautiful speakers. We spent a couple of hours listening to them last night. We're still waiting for delivery of our HDTV so we can try them out with movies. I have really appreciated the promptness and professionalism of your company. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others, but when my friends see and hear these speakers I'm sure they will sell themselves.
The speakers arrived in good condition. There was some box damage with one box having tire marks on the side like a vehicle brushed it, but it did not penetrate the second layer. The handles in the box were very helpful. Attention to detail even in the packing! The speakers sound terrific! It didn't take me long at all to position them correctly, and now I have that "wall of sound" that I hear people describing on the forum. I also see what people mean about vocals "coming to life". Needless to say, I'm very happy with them and I expect to be purchasing a center and four surrounds in the near future. Thank you again,
You folks are GOOD! I placed my web order yesterday at 11 a.m. The order arrived this morning at exactly 11 a.m. - I was blown away. Plus the Purolator guy was a big hi-fi buff and seemed thrilled to be delivering a serious speaker system. I had been comparing the M60s to what I was familiar with in my old speakers. After a little time away, I was listening to the Axioms without bias. They are the most balanced, cleanest, least coloured speakers I have heard in a home listening environment. Needless to say they are equally spectacular with home theater soundtracks. The Axiom center channel speaker is a perfect timbre match. Many reviewers talk about how great Axiom speakers are "especially for the price". These are great speakers - PERIOD. Thanks for helping make me an "Axiom Man"! I'll spread the word. Have a great holiday! I know I will. Sincerely,
Amie, Joe, Ian. I'd like to thank you all very much for allowing Mark and I to visit your facility. We thoroughly enjoyed the factory tour, learning about your operations, and of course, listening to your speakers. I helped Mark set everything up when we got back to Sudbury, and the Axiom's have been playing sweet music ever since. You have a fine product at an incredible price... and customer service that is second to none in my opinion. Please keep up the good work!!! Now that I've had the opportunity to hear your speakers, I can comfortably recommend them to family and friends... you have now officially taken over from Paradigm as my recommendation for best performance vs. $ spent! Thanks again, Best Regards,
What a PLEASURE it has been to deal with you and your company!!! Great advice to start, friendly responses?what could be better? Thanks so much for everything. I love the new speakers.
Just hooked up these M60's.............Holy S***! Gotta get back.
Great service and excellant product. What a great pair of speakers!!
Thanks for the follow up.I finally got my speaker placement finalized yesterday.They sound good from anywhere in the room.These are the first speakers I've owned that sound best with my tone controls on flat; regardless of the input material.Obviously an indication of sound engineering.No more suspending myself upside down from the ceiling to get in the sweet spot. Nice product and nice that it is made in Canada by a Canadian owned company. Regards,
I was shocked at how fast they arrived (I expected a 4 to 6 week window). When I received the email indicating that they had shipped , I thought: Christmas comes early!!!! These speakers are truly outstanding!!!!!!!I didn't even have any problems with placement etc. Just removed the old speakers and inserted the new Axioms in their place. Hooked them up and......WOW! These really do compare to the B&W 703's (at a 1/4 of the price). I'll post a review on the message board in a week or two. Thank you again for the expedited delivery. Maybe I shouldn't mention on the board how quickly I received these? I wouldn't want to get future customers hopes too high! Next on the 'futures' list is a VP100 and QS8'sCheers,
I set up the speakers last night, and played with them a little bit. I still need to re-do my equalization settings but I have to do some re-wiring before that will be done. I will let you know that in the short time I had to listen to them last night, I am already in love. They sound much more full in my living room than the M22ti's. I moved from a smaller apartment to a much more open condo so that was to be expected. Again, thank you. Axiom is one of the best. Thanks Again,
I have received the speakers and I'm awaiting my new receiver, but in the meantime I hooked the speakers up to my old (small and antiquated) system. The speakers sound great. I can't wait to hear them hooked up to a real system. Thank you for your great customer service!
I just wanted drop you a line to let you know that, my expectations were met in regards to my new M60 Towers! I am glad I went with my instincts and not the hype surrounding other speaker companies. I used to have a pair of Bose 901 speakers, and I must say I am way more impressed with the M60's. Thank you for putting out a fantastic product. I can't wait to get my center and surrounds.
To let you know that I am very satisfied and very impressed with how the speakers sounded. I've known Axiom since 1987 but never really bothered with it but now I've discovered how excellent sound and valuable they are. Thanks to all the reviews at audioreview.com that finally convinced me into buying the speakers. I was so close to buying a pair of Paradigm Studio 60's and a matching center for it but the $1000 extra compare to the M60 and VP150 changed my mind and am I glad I did. Thanks Axiom! I look forward to buying other Axiom speakers in the future.
Yes, I did received my M60Ti speakers. It was delivered when promised, very good customer service. The speakers sound wonderful. I love them. In the future I will order a sub woofer :) Thank you for your good service and product. Regards,
I am the satisfied owner of five Axiom speakers and awaiting delivery of two more. I bought a pair of M60s and M3s in Feb. 03 to replace my 14 year old 12 inch 3 way towers and 8 inch 2 way surrounds. I chose Axiom after week of research on the web and in person auditions. I had some doubts as to the bass of the M60s due to the 6 1/2 inch drivers. Chose the M3s as replacements for the surrounds because I was used to the "bookshelf" style speakers and was unfamiliar with the "surround" style speakers. When I received the speakers it was a matter of minutes when I put the issue of the bass abilities of the M60s to rest. The tight and clean low end of the M60s was every bit as good as the old 12 inchers. Time and technology works wonders because I never thought I would settle for less than a 12 inch woofer. As for the M3s, I was curious about this unit as the reviews were all almost too good so I hooked the M3s up as a stereo pair and listened to them for a couple of days. I was really impressed at the sound of these speakers. They were somewhat smaller than my old 8 inch bookshelfs that had acted as my surrounds but sounded much better. In a word they were CLEANER. I decided to move the M3s to the bedroom and I created a sound system with the M3s and an old receiver a dual cassette deck and a cd changer. This is Not a state-of-the-art rig but it really sounds great in the small room and it sings me to sleep most nights. Next I bought a pair of QS8s to fill in the living room as true "surrounds". I was very pleased at the effects of the QS8s. They spread the sound around the listening area like butter on warm toast. The surround style speakers are much better than the bookshelf type at creating an enveloping and realistic sound field. One thing, the QS8s are quiet powerful and can shift the emphasis to the rear of the room if you let the rear levels get too high. I probably would have been completly satisified with the QS4s but I'll be keeping my QS8s. Next was the VP150 center and as with the other Axioms it is doing a great job. I dont always have the center channel on when I am watching TV or listening to CDs but it really shines on DVD dialog. All of these speakers will play louder than I can tolerate and do so cleanly. As so many others have added I too am rediscovering my music collection. Boy does it sound great. I am buying a new receiver 7.1 for the living room and am waiting on my M2s for rears. I highly recommend Axiom speakers for any music style or room size. They look and sound great.
The new speakers are awesome!!! I was replacing 25 year old speakers, so I expected an improvement...but the Axiom's surpassed my expectations. We sat up last night playing Copeland, Green Day, Ted Nugent, Allison Krause, Yo-Yo Ma, Eric Clapton and countless others. Great speakers, a great price, simple to order, they arrived when they were supposed to, the set-up instructions were very clear...it couldn't have been easier.Thanks,
I was initially hesitant about purchasing loudspeakers without hearing them first, but the combination of Axiom's top-notch service, along with their informative website closed the deal. I'll definitely buy Axiom again, and I've been telling my friends about my great experience.
I'm very very happy with my Axiom M60Ti. It delivers sound so wonderful that I wish to have more time everyday with it. Thank you Axiom.
The speakers look good and sound great! It's been hard to decide what music to play next. I will certainly recommend your speakers to anyone in the market.
Thanx, super sound...all the rave reviews and positive promos were correct! Fedex great as usual. I just have one minor complaint.......why did I not find out about these loudspeakers earlier!
They are much better than the infinities they replaced. I can't wait to get the rear speakers next!
Received, installed, wired, tried it out. Very good. I'm pleased!
Wow! Brent, these M60s are fan-TAS-tic! I thought I had pretty good floor speakers before, but I'm hearing things I've never heard before! It's a true joy to experience my music collection in a way I've never known. The product, like the service, is top-notch.
I absolutely love theM60s. Norah Jones was almost a religious experience.
Thank you for your advice on the M60's. I received a pair yesterday, and after auditioning them with 'Peppino D'Agostino's' high resolution 5.1 DVD, it was instantly apparent that this was an excellent upgrade from a pair of AX 1.5's. Not only do these speakers look outstanding, but the depth and detailed sound that emanates from them, is nothing short of spectacular. I had no idea that my Home Theatre System could sound so good. The rest of the set up consist of AX 1.5's, AX2's and AX 1.2's. It was very interesting to hear these older model Axiom's become more alive with the introduction to their new big brothers - Quite Amazing . I am so pleased with this purchase that I will be ordering the M60's matching center channel - the VP150. . . . .In Closing - Axiom Audio can keep my money - 'cause ya ain't getting these backTotally Pleased,
Keeping in mind that it is only the 2 front speakers I have hooked up, I put on David Arkenstone's Atlantis album, specifically the last track, Spirit of Atlantis. JC, oh my God.........I literally began to cry; I mean it! I have never heard sound that incredibly crystal clear, powerful, balanced, overwhelming. I was carried away to another place by the beauty spilling out of these awesome speakers. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I need to grab the Kleenex and get back to my music! Axiom ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh so grateful,
Until you buy axiom you haven't listened to real music or heard the awesome sound effects of a good movie. The sound is unmatched crisp, clear and just all around incredible. Go big or go home get axiom.
I have had these speakers for several months now and I listened to many many speakers in and above their price range. NOTHING even came close. The only speakers that sounded better but cost considerably more were the martin logans, and not even their base model. I will put these up against nearly anything. I wish they went a little lower in deep base dept but within their range they are strong iand very accurate - what a lesson B & W could learn from you! someday your sub will back them up anyway. Thank you for re-awakening the audiophile in me.
Je viens de recevoir mes M60. Quel son incroyable! J'ai l'impression que l'orchestre est chez moi! Je m'installe une salle d'écoute et je pourrais les apprécier à leur valeur complète. Je vous donnerais d'autres nouvelles.Félicitations à vous et votre équipe pour la fabrication d'aussi bonnes enceintes.
Fantastic sound! Before these were delivered I remember thinking "how much better than my Tannoys could these possibly sound?" Now I know! Just delighted. Was so busy at home that the first three days I could not even unpack them! The fourth night I came home after work and just had to connect even though it was late. After hooking up I had to listen at a really really low volume as my wife and kids had gone to sleep. I was astounded for even at the low low volumes - I could tell that I really had somethinmg special here. Thank you!
After several weeks of researching online in an attempt to find the perfect speakers for my very own home theater, I decided to purchase a pair of these speakers from Axiom's factory outlet for $892 and I am glad I did. These speakers have exceeded my expectations and continue to do so the more I listen to them.
I just got my M60 speakers and WOW what awesome sounding speakers. I just played my Roger Waters in the Flesh DVD and these speakers are a lot better sounding then my present Tannoy speakers. I'm very impressed.
The M60 is an excellent speaker at an awesome price. My first set was in Boston Cherry and I enjoyed them so much when I was looking for an upgrade all I could do was order a new set in the High Gloss Cherry finish! To me these are THE speaker... and the best looking in the Axiom line up :) Order up a pair and enjoy the music.
Exceptional service, Exceptional speakers. I purchased the M60 along with the vp150 center channel. I was not prepared for the outstanding clarity and dynamics that these speakers exhibit. I have been auditioning speakers from paradigm, monitor audio, klipsch, B&W. for the money none can compare to the M60 in this price range. you will have to spend considerably more money to exceed their capabilities in an average sized room, unless you opt for the M80. A few of my friends are already begging their wives to allow them to purchase a new set of axioms speakers for their home theaters. I took a chance on axiom audios 30 day in home trial, and I will not be sending these speakers back. Exceeded my expectations in every respect, well done axiom. upgraded my speaker cable from a 14 AWG monter xp to Bluejean 10AWG Belden Cable, made a huge difference in low end extension and soundstaging. the better the components connected to these speakers, will reward the listener with wiith noticeable improvements in depth and details you have never heard before in your music collection.
Hi, - just wanted to let everybody know how happe I am with my new speakers, - not to mention how fast they arrived, - ordered wednesday, got it friday, - I live in Denmark! I have a large collection of cd's and old lp's, - and everything sounds fantastic, - jazz, classical, symphony, piano, song etc. I also have the speakers connected to my television and the stereo image are much better than my old Sony 5.1 system, - I mean I actually saw "snakes on a plane" because of the thunder storms! My wife and I are both trained concert pianists, - so you should think we are used to using our ears, - these are the best speakers I have ever had, - thanks. It's really true, - you want to listen to all your old records/cd's again just to see how well these speakers make them sound.
Can't say enough about how good looking and great sounding these speakers are. Punchy, right bass. Crystal clear mid and highs. Couple these with a pair of QS8s, a VP100 and the sub of your choice, and you've got a sound system that beats most professional movie theater's sound.
The best and most inexpensive way to get reference quality sound. The M60s continue to blow me away months after I bought them. My audiophile friend from London ON has put them on his must own list.
I've always been a firm believer in the bookshelf/subwoofer system for audio. In any tower speaker I'd ever heard, the upper-bass was always loose, and muddled. For that reason, I'd always bought and owned high quality bookshelf speakers, and mated them with a good subwoofer. (And that's still a terrific way to go) Then I heard the M60ti's. Holy cow. Clarity throughout the audio range. Bass is very tight and clean. Midrange is clear - voices sound like they're right there in the room with you. And the highs? You'll hear things you've never heard before. You can hear the guitar pick in accoustic guitar. You'll hear Norah Jones' delicate inhale before singing. It's all there. I love listing to speakers. I go out listening all the time, and I've yet to hear something that has made me want to trade my M60ti's in. They are very similar in sound/tone/detail as the MUCH more expensive B&W 703's. If you've heard those, and just couldn't afford their $2500+ price tag, give the Axiom M60ti's a try.
I'm extremely impressed with the M60s. I loved my M3s, but the M60s just completely outclass them in every way - detail, balance, soundstage & imaging - and the ease with which they handle everything that comes their way. Not just "for the price" - these are amazing speakers, period.

Left-Hand Hate KO'd by Love.
I've been living in the house of ill repute. I got my diploma from the University of Strange. Somehow Jeff and Allen let me spew about any and all things on this fine site, which BLOWS MY MIND.
Writers who can't read get a lot of work because they're rare. Like tall jockeys. Or short NBA centers. I'm RARE. I grew up with gypsies and dancers. I still can't read but I CAN dance. And hopefully, unlike the Vatican and Penn State, I'm on the right side of child molestation…
After a great and entertaining World Series it's free agent time! For managers AND players!
The Cubs' pursuit of Mike Maddux is on and I'm in. In my strange, odd baseball world, I think he'd be a fine choice. I don't really believe hitting coaches do much, but pitching coaches do. He did some fine work with the Texas Power Rangers staff and got em back to back AL pennants. I never even heard of half their guys but they pitched their tails off. The older brother of legendary Cubs and Braves great Greg Maddux deserves a shot here. He doesn't want the Red Sox job, doesn't want to move his family halfway across the country. And after all the drama that has unfolded in Boston's recent collapse, who can blame him?
With Theo on board, the Cubs are close to becoming respectable. I just hope the supporting brass knows enough to leave him alone so he can do his damn job without interruptions. There were many rumors that Jim Hendry had people in his ear about who to draft and what free agents to sign. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!
I remember when I got fired from Applebee's, because I refused to take Mr. Senor Love Daddy off my name tag. DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB!
Hopefully this doesn't happen to Theo. Even if he doesn't pick Maddux, I'm sure he'll Do the Right Thing.

A Stake Through the Heart?
By now, my century long-depressed baseball brethren on the north side of Chicago are aware that, despite Prince Charming occupying the king's seat at Addison and Clark, Cubbie Land might still get turned on its head.
Oh yes.
Ryne Sandberg.
If Ryne Sandberg becomes the new manager of the St. Louis Cardinals — THE WORLD CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS — then I think I might just pee on myself.
Oh, the joy… to think, that one of the greatest Cubs in the history of the world — THE SAME CUB WHO WAS SNUBBED OVER FOR MIKE "LAME DUCK" QUADE — could sit at the St. Louis helm with those beautiful, beautiful birds on the bat, blazing across his Hall of Fame chest.
Oh sure, Francona would be great. Oquendo too. Hell, even Pettini is good in my book.
But Ryno… oh Ryno… *SALIVATES*
A friend of mine ran into Ryno, his wife and some friends of theirs in Times Square this summer. He said he was so in awe of the Hall of Fame second baseman that he sort of lost track of his thoughts and the forced conversation sorta became… awkward.
I imagine it was the same sort of awkward that would come from him championing the Cardinals to a World Series title in 2012…
Hate me! Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right!

"Blind faith is the crutch of fools."
We may not be in the Prince/Pujols derby, but it's fine. It's fine.
My water just broke. Theo is here. I'm feeling woozy.
I've been harvesting my organs to get the perfect GM. I've been licking my cat's fanny to find the best. I've been on a Rambo-style manhunt to make sure the Cubs can be good for an extended amount of time.
I'VE EVEN TRIED HUMAN MEAT!!! (That part is almost true.)
Theo is the smartest thing that has ever happened to the Cubs.
At the press conference yesterday, he said "I promised I wouldn't bring up the Red Sox," but it's ok, Theo. You said the right things at the right moments. You talked about "being on base and defense." CRAZY! I am over the moon, trying to slow my roll, but you, Theo, are everything I've ever wanted: smart, savvy and new!
In my lifetime, being awful has been the Cub paradigm. Things have to change now. We might need a Castro coach to show him… defense. The way Wrigley plays may require some of Theo's number crunching. But we have more hope now than we've had the last 15 years combined. (See Baker, Piniella, et al)
But best of all, as I write this, Theo Epstein is hatching a plan to dismantle every last bit of crap left in the C's organization.

I'm a Cotton-Headed Ninnymuggins
Things are changing for me. Before I know it I'll be wearing jeans and reading fiction. I don't know where I am. My favorite color is rainbow. I'm giving in to wearing sandals over socks. I don't need the therapy! I'm just mentally ill!
Tony Effing LaRussa is back in my world and I CAN'T STAND IT. He's a throbbing, raging, @$$bag that I wish would go away but he won't. And you can't kill him. If you try, he just keeps coming back. And, with all my might, my baseball sensibilities consume me so much that I can't not respect the man.
When I was a child I would squint and mistake him for Thundercats supervillain Mumm-Ra (Magician or sexual deviant?). I wanted to lightsaber him over and over BECAUSE I AM A JEDI! His steroid riddled teams have infuriated me to no end. I loved the Dodgers and Orel in the 80s, the Giants and their earthquake, my Cubs of the last decade. I've always respected the man and his managing abilities; but he really has outdone himself this year. WOW.
When the Cardinals beat the Tigers in their last World Series appearance with no pitching, that was quite a thing. What's happening now is nothing short of spectacular managing. My Jeffy's Cards are the hottest team in baseball and I will once again be rooting against Texas. Watching this series will be like being touched by a priest…

"That's a Deal Breaker!"
What better way to celebrate the return of contemporary television's greatest comedic achievement than to steal one of its taglines for an hyperbolic thrashing of the MLB seasonal awards?
That's what I thought.
Shall we?!?!
American League Cy Young
Um… no brainer, y'all. Justin FRACKING Verlander. Anything else is just… stupid. And dumb. And Cubbish.
American League Most Valuable Player
Though my repugnant and oft pedantic colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, would like you to believe Mr. Verlander is the "most valuable" to his team, let's not lose sight of what's really going on here. You can argue semantics all you want, Mr. Krause, but we all know that the MVP is reserved for a position player. How do we know this? Because the pitchers ALREADY HAVE THEIR OWN AWARD. And that, my friends, is a deal breaker! So the MVP goes to Curtis Granderson. Close your eyes and imagine the Yankees without him this year. Scurry, ain't it!?!
National League Cy Young Award
Halladay or Kershaw or Halladay or Kershaw or Halladay or… wait, Kershaw? It's a fine line. And my gut says Kershaw; however, upon further review (and I know using stats from 2010 isn't fair, but who says I'm fair?), in a galaxy far, far away, Adam Dunn took Kershaw deep. Twice. In one game. And THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER. Congratulations, Roy Halladay. Again.
National League Most Valuable Player
My instincts say Ryan Braun deserves this award BUT Ryan Braun is a Brewer and yep, that's a deal breaker! So Matt Kemp, come on down! In fact, if Lance Berkman hadn't done such a nice job, I might also hand Kemp the Comeback Player of the Year Award because, let's face it, compared to '09 and '11, he was nothing short of regurgitated fecal matter last year. Think about it.
Yes, they have other awards too, like, Manager of the Year, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, etc… but honestly, who cares? Quick, name the 1989 National League Manager of the Year. See, you can't. 'Cuz nobody cares (it was the Cubs' Don Zimmer).
And if nobody cares, well, then THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER!
Hate me, it's all good. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

RSBS Special Correspondent and Podcast Outlaw, Mr. Johanna Mahmud reports:
"All I can tell you is, I wish I had a dime for every dime I had."
To commemorate my hopeful demise of the mighty money juggernaut that is the Boston Red Sox, I have decided to use one of the greatest films ever conceived to explain my feelings for this occasion.
I'm also here to remind the world of the hurt and pain that Russell Brand caused me by pissing on my childhood by remaking this classic. BASTARDDOOOO.
"Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature."
The Red Sox are falling apart. The Tampa Bay Rays are in pursuit of the wild card and I couldn't be happier. At the beginning of the season, I, like the rest of the baseball universe, had the Sox winning it all. That being said, I love this Rays team. I've loved the last three or four Rays teams. LOVE Joe Maddon. He almost makes me like Florida. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate tha SAWKSSS. I'm just a bit tired of everything Boston. NO MORE BOSTON!! No more Red Sox! The Town, Conviction, Gone Baby Gone, the Patriots, The Departed, Ben Affleck doing Madden ads. I NEED A FAWWWWWWWWKIINNNNN BREAK!!!
"If you and your undershirt will walk two paces backwards, I could enter this dwelling."
Oh yea. Forgot about Edge of Darkness, The Fighter, and Danny fawwwwwwkkkinnnn Woodhead!!!! I feel like I have had a Fenway Frank shoved up my giggy for the last ten years.
"I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, BUT! I have weekends off, and I am my own boss."
Theo Epstein's bright idea was to punch in Erik Betard. BRILLIANT? No. Can Jon Lester be everywhere at once? Josh Beckett is hurty. The BLOWN RANGER! John Lackey is awful. This staff is not quite in dire straits but…
"Ladies and gentlemen… I'm sorry… As you probably have surmised by now… there will be no wedding. The bride… has had second thoughts… and has decided not to marry me… Most of you know me… Can you blame her?"
Carl Crawford has been my personal joy killer. One of my favorite players of the last seven years, he hasn't quite been worth the money. Hitting third in this lineup has been a problem. He's a leadoff hitter!
"Isn't this fun? Isn't fun the best thing to have? Don't you wish you were me? I know I do."
The rise of Jacoby Ellsbury has been nothing short of TRANSCENDENT — an absolute bright spot. And I couldn't be happier for the kid who has struggled through injuries. He or Curtis Granderson would be fine choices for MVP. (I'm sorry, Verlander.)
And now, one last fleeting thought for my beloved Cubs. Both Sox teams have won championships and so have the current champ Giants. My thoughts on this?
Gloria: My mother died when I was six.
Arthur: [bangs his fist on the table] Son of a bitch! Don't they know what they do to kids?
Gloria: My father raped me when I was twelve.
Arthur: So, you had six relatively good years? I'm sorry. Listen, my father screwed me, too.

Baseball as a Coping Mechanism
For me, the tragedy of 9/11 cannot be separated from the baseball that eventually helped ease the grief. The few moments of distraction it provided during a time when nothing else really made sense cannot be overstated. For a bonafide baseball nerd like myself, the game is always the best medicine.
In the fall of 2001, the prescription was Mike Piazza, Derek Jeter and one of the most dramatic World Series ever played.
Last night, during my first visit to New York's gorgeous and amenity laden Citi Field, I was surrounded by people who felt exactly the same as me. And that, my friends, is a very powerful thing.
Hmm… My Ears Seem to Be Overly Healthy
My ears probably feel so good because I have had an entire season off from the deafening dumbness of one Joe Morgan on Sunday nights. Ahh… feels great, doesn't it?
And despite the acidic aftertaste of all-things ESPN, I do have to admit that Sunday Night Baseball has been refreshingly awesome in 2011. Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Orel. Thank you, Bobby.
Tomorrow night, however, will be an extra special affair: Sunday Night Baseball on the 10th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, live from New York's Citi Field.
And I will be there.
My healthy ears are eager to pair up with my attentive eyes, to take it all in, to remember with humility, to join in the communitas and the powerful emotional connection we all share with this truly remarkable pastime.
It's gonna be a special night.

I have 1240 SAT's, and my GPA UW is 3.7. I have 5 AP's that I am taking this year. My extracarriculars are above average, yet not impressive. i have several leadership board positions and other community service hours. I am very very ambitious however. I see myself at a really great school, but I dont know which one! SAT II's are all in the 700's (except writing is 650).
So far, I'm thinking Northwestern, cornell, washington U, pomona (or CMC) as my reach schools. But now that I think of it, I would be happier at a smaller school like CMC or Pomona, like amherst or something along htat line.
can anyone suggest any schools for me (small or not). I am open to majors in business, economics, anything along those lines or maybe even communications. thanks!

Is there a connection between sickness and milk supply? Should I be supplementing with pumped milk in the meantime to make sure LO is getting enough milk. Most people say that LO can get much more than the pump can but I want to make sure he is getting enough to eat.

Disappointing. Steel gauge isn't as heavy/thick as my other sauce pans (including a small Vollrath butter warmer I recently purchased!). So I have to be very careful not to turn up the flame too high or leave things on the burner too long. I generally use this size pan for cooking oatmeal or grits, making small soups, etc. Wanted to use it for making brown rice, quinoa & bulgur, but don't because of the overheating problem.

Remember Adam Greenberg? You Should [UPDATE – Adam Will Get Another At Bat]
There is a growing buzz about Adam Greenberg, who? I'm sure that's what you are thinking as Adam Greenberg is not a house hold major league name, but it's someone who many Cubs fans remember. We mostly remember him for his tough to swallow story, now that story is being brought back into the light thanks to oneatbat.com, here's a recap of Adam's story via One at Bat…
On July 9, 2005, Adam Greenberg was about to have his lifelong dream of playing Major League baseball come true. The Chicago Cubs called him up from the minors and in the 9th inning, in a game against the Florida Marlins, he got the call to pinch hit. On the very first pitch from Valerido de los Santos, Greenberg was struck in the back of the head by a 92-mile-per-hour fastball. He suffered a concussion and was immediately removed from the game.
Adam was sent down to the minors for a rehab assignment, but struggled with severe vertigo and other symptoms of post concussion syndrome. Adam's career and life were put on hold for a year and a half. Since then, Adam has played for several minor and independent league clubs trying to get a second chance in the Major Leagues.
Of the almost 17,500 people to play in Major League baseball, Adam Greenberg is the only player to have his career end on the very first pitch. In fact, according to Major League rules, Adam's debut only counts as a plate appearance, not an official at bat.
What is One at Bat?
Liston-Greenberg – OTL from Triple Threat TV on Vimeo.
Players Offer At Bat from Triple Threat TV on Vimeo.
I remember that game like it was yesterday, Matt Murton was also called up to make his Major League debut that same day. The folks over at One at Bat have a simple goal, to get Adam Greenberg the official at bat he deserves. There is a petition on the website that you can sign to help the cause and spread the word. I admire the effort, and it's a story that should be told. As you will see in the video the dream scenario would be to have Adam get that at bat with the team he made his debut with, the Cubs.
Paul Sullivan did some digging yesterday, and was able to get an updated comment from Hoyer, which puts to bed the thought of Greenberg coming back to the Cubs for one at bat.
"Adam made the big leagues based on merit in 2005," Hoyer said in an email. "While it is unfortunate he got hit in his first at-bat, he is in the Baseball Encyclopedia as a major leaguer and he should be incredibly proud of that. We wish him the best, but there are no plans to add him to the roster now or in the future."
Greenberg Responds:
"Would they just throw me out there? No," he said. "Would they bring back Roger Clemens for just one game to delay his Hall of Fame vote? Yes. There's no difference, though, as a publicity stunt."
I really hope Adam get back to the big leagues, he was and will always be recognized as a major league ballplayer, his career was just the shortest ever. Best of luck Adam! Please head over to oneatbat.com to sign the petition and show your support!
[UPDATE] Per this ESPN.com article, Adam Greenberg will indeed get another at bat with the Marlins. Good for him, it's amazing what someone's passion can turn into, congrats to Adam and Oneatbat.com for making it happen.

Castro's Extension Official!
Here is our post from August 18, 2012-
The Cubs have signed Starlin Castro to a 7 year $60MM extension. Great news, more when we get back from the 2012 UA High School All American game.
Well, now we finally have more. The Cubs announced today that they have officially come to terms on an extension with Starlin Castro. The deal is for 7 years, and $60 million, here is a full breakdown of the deal from the Tribune.
Castro, who will give up three years of free agency, receives a $6 million signing bonus and has a club option after the final year for $16 million or a $1 million buyout.
He will receive salaries of $5 million, $5 million, $6 million, $7 million, $10 million and $11 million.
This is a big piece of the future right here, and it comes cheap. Castro has made physical errors, and mental errors this season, but people around the club have seen improvement and see what he can become. This is a no lose situation if I've ever seen one.

Matt Garza Officially Done For The Season
Probably not shocking news for anyone that has followed the Cubs, but Matt Garza will be shut down for the remainder of the season. He was transferred to the 60 day DL today to make room on the 40 man roster for Chris Rusin. Really no point for Garza to push it to get back in September as it won't prove anything. I'm sure both Garza and the Cubs wanted to show other teams that he was healthy enough to pitch but he just isn't right now. Hopefully rest is all he needs and this isn't something long-term that requires a more serious course of action.

Oneri Fleita Fired [UPDATE] Wasserstrom Gone As Well
In somewhat of a shocking move today, well depends on who you ask I guess, Oneri Fleita the Cubs VP of Player Personnel (former) has been given his walking papers. Just last September Fleita was given a contract extension by Tom Ricketts, keep in mind this was before Theo Epstein was brought in to take over. Fleita was outstanding when it came to dealing with the Latin American talent, and losing that could hurt, but I'm guessing the decision here might have been mutual. Fleita is going to be a hot commodity on the open market as he had over 15 years experience with the Cubs and a tremendous track record. The reason I say that it could be mutual is I wouldn't be surprised if Fleita is on to bigger and better things, and he wouldn't be able to do that unless he was fired because of said contract extension last year.
Up until this year Fleita was the head man overseeing everything having to do with the Cubs farm system. Enter Theo and Jed, they brought in Jason McLeod to assume that role before this season with Fleita acting as second in command. With the recent promotion of Tim Wilken to special assistant, and bringing in Jaron Madison to be the new scouting director, Theo is starting to make his mark on the Cubs organization as a whole and how he wants it run, and who he wants running it. Best of luck to Oneri, we will have more details if and when they emerge.
[UPDATE 1:24 PM] Theo means business today, according to Paul Sullivan, the Cubs have re-assigned Ari Kaplan from Manager of Statistical Analysis to a consulting position. Sullivan continues, letting us know that the Cubs have eliminated Chuck Wasserstrom's position which was Manager of Baseball Information, Wasserstrom had been around forever, and per Toni Ginetti, the Cubs are looking to find a new position for Scott Nelson who was the director of player operations. The deck has officially been shuffled, we will be back with more.

One of Auckland's most intriguing boutique hotels is Mollies, a small, 10-suite establishment overlooking Waitemata Harbour. Housed in a restored Victorian mansion, it's as luxurious as it is eccentric (several suites have pianos, and you might spot the resident Persian cat). There's a spa on location.
