Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez is an American baseball third baseman/designated hitter for the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball. Known popularly by his nickname A-Rod, he previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the New York Mets.
Early life
Rodriguez was born in the Washington Heights section of New York City to a Dominican family. When he was four, Rodriguez and his parents moved to the Dominican Republic, then to Miami, Florida. Rodriguez's favorite baseball players growing up were Keith Hernandez, Dale Murphy, and Cal Ripken, and his favorite team was the New York Mets.[8]
High school
Rodriguez was a star shortstop at Miami's Westminster Christian High School. In 100 games he batted .419 with 90 steals. Westminster went on to win the high school national championship in his junior year. He was first team prep All-American as a senior, hitting .505 with 9 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 35 steals in 35 tries in 33 games, and was selected as the USA Baseball Junior Player of the Year and as Gatorade's national baseball student athlete of the year. Rodriguez was the first high school player to ever try out for Team USA in 1993, and was regarded as the top prospect in the country.
Rodriguez signed a letter of intent to play baseball for the University of Miami and was also recruited by the university to play quarterback for its football team. Rodriguez turned down Miami's baseball scholarship and never played college baseball, opting instead to sign with the Seattle Mariners after being selected in the first round of the amateur draft at the age of 17.
Professional career
Seattle Mariners
[1][2]Rodriguez batting as a member of the AAA Calgary Cannons in 1994.Rodriguez was drafted first overall by the Seattle Mariners in 1993. He was signed by Roger Jongewaard right out of high school. In 1994, Rodriguez played for Seattle's AAA affiliate, theCalgary Cannons. In 32 games, he had 37 hits in 119 at bats for a .311 batting average. He also compiled 6 home runs and 21 runs batted in. Rodriguez rose rapidly through the Mariners organization, and made his major league debut as the starting shortstop on July 8, 1994, in Bostonat 18 years, 11 months, and 11 days of age. He was just the third 18-year-old Major League shortstop since 1900. He was also the first 18-year-old Major League player in 10 years, and the youngest position player in Seattle history. His first Major League hit was a single off Sergio Valdezon July 9 at Fenway Park. Rodriguez's first Major League campaign lasted just one month; the season was cut short by the 1994 Major League Baseball strike.
Rodriguez then split most of 1995 between the Mariners and their AAA club, the Tacoma Rainiers.[9]He connected for his first Major League home run off Kansas City's Tom Gordon on June 12. Rodriguez joined the Major League roster permanently in August, and got his first taste of postseason play, albeit in just two at-bats. Again, he was the youngest player in Major League Baseball.
1996: First full season and breakout year
The following year, Rodriguez took over as the Mariners' regular shortstop (SS) and hit 36 HR, drove in 123 runs, and led the American League (AL) with a .358 batting average, the highest for an AL right-handed batter since Joe DiMaggio hit .381 in 1939 and the 3rd highest ever for a SS. At 21 years and one month, he was the 3rd youngest AL batting leader ever behind Al Kaline (20) in 1955 and Ty Cobb (20) in 1907, and the 3rd youngest player in history with 35+ homers. He was also the 1st major league SS to win a batting title since 1960, and the 1st in the AL since 1944, and at 20 years, 11 months, was the youngest SS in All-Star Game history. He also led the AL in runs (141), total bases (379), and doubles (54) and ranked among the league leaders in hits (2nd, 215), extra base hits (2nd, 91), multi-hit games (3rd, 65), slugging (4th, .631), RBI (8th, 123), and on-base percentage (8th, .414). Rodriguez posted the highest totals ever for a shortstop in runs, hits, doubles, extra base hits, and slugging, and tied most total bases, and established Seattle club records for average, runs, hits, doubles, and total bases, in a season that statistical analysts consider the best ever by an SS.[10]
He was selected by both Sporting News and Associated Press as the Major League Player of the Year, and came close to becoming the youngest MVP (Most Valuable Player) in baseball history, finishing second to Juan González in one of the most controversial MVP elections in recent times.[11] He finished three points behind González (290–287), matching the 2nd closest AL MVP voting in history.
1997–99 seasons
In 1997, Rodriguez's numbers fell somewhat, as he hit 23 HRs with 84 RBI and a .300 batting average that year. He hit for the cycle on June 5 at Detroit, becoming the second Mariner to ever accomplish the feat, and at 21 years, 10 months, was 5th youngest player in history to do it. He was the fan's choice to start the All-Star Game at shortstop for the AL team, becoming the first player other than Cal Ripken, Jr. to start at shortstop in 13 years. It was the first All-Star start of his career and his second All-Star Game in two years.
Rodriguez rebounded in 1998, setting the AL record for homers by a shortstop and becoming just the third member of the 40–40 club, (with 42 HR and 46 SB) and one of just 3 shortstops in history to hit 40 home runs in a season. His 43.9 Power-speed number was, through at least 2008, the highest single season Power/Speed Number ever.[12]
He was selected as Players Choice AL Player of the Year, won his 2nd Silver Slugger Award and finished in the top 10 in the MVP voting.
In 1999, he again hit 42 HR, despite missing over 30 games with an injury and playing the second half of the season at Safeco Field, a considerably less hitter-friendly ballpark than the Kingdome.
2000: Final season in Seattle
Rodriguez entered 2000 as the cornerstone player of the Mariners franchise, which had recently dealt superstars Randy Johnson andKen Griffey, Jr. Rodriguez put up great numbers as the team's remaining superstar; he hit 41 HR with 132 RBI and had a .316 batting average. He set a career high for walks (100) and became the only shortstop to have 100 runs, RBI, and walks in the same season. He hit well in the playoffs as well (.409 batting average and .773 slugging percentage), but Seattle lost to the New York Yankees in the2000 American League Championship Series.
He was selected as the Major League Player of the Year by Baseball America and finished 3rd in the BBWAA AL MVP voting.
New York Mets
Rodriguez became a free agent after the 2000 season, and signed a 9 year contract worth $188 million with the New York Mets, his childhood favorite team. With catcher Mike Piazza batting cleanup behind him in the lineup, they had one of the best 3-4 hitter combinations in baseball history. In 2001, Rodriguez hit .331, hit 46 home runs, 131 RBIs, and had an OBP of .459, while Piazza hit .300 with 36 home runs, 103 RBI, and an OBP of .394. The Mets would go on to finish the 2001 season with a record of 95-67, winning the NL East division. Rodriguez finished second in the NL MVP voting behind San Francisco Giants' outfielder Barry Bonds.
The Mets defeated the Houston Astros 3 games to 1 in the NLDS, but lost the NLCS in seven games to the Arizona Diamondbacks, crushing hopes for the Mets to repeat as NL champions.
2002- First MVP & World Series
The Mets did not lose stride in 2002, with the acquisition of second baseman Roberto Alomar and the 2001 mid-season acquisition of first baseman Fred McGriff. Rodriguez batted .347 with 50 home runs, 138 RBIs, and an OBP of .462, en route to winning the NL MVP award, the first Met player ever to do so. The Mets would go on to win 103 games, winning their second straight NL East title.
The Mets defeated the San Francisco Giants in five games in the NLDS, including a walk-off in game one that was set up by an incredible 7-run ninth inning, in which Rodriguez hit a grand slam to bring the Mets within 1 run, and then Mike Piazza hit a solo home run immediately afterward, tying the game. In the tenth inning, first baseman Fred McGriff hit a solo shot to win the game.
In the NLCS, the Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in five games to reach the World Series. In the World Series, the Mets were playing the Anaheim Angels, who had shocked the baseball world by reaching the World Series. The Mets won game one 4-1 behind a stellar pitching performance by Al Leiter. They would lose game two 11-9, despite a late-inning rally by the Mets.
Game three, the first at Shea Stadium, was a blowout by the Angels all the way through. After the game, Rodriguez was being criticized for only collecting one hit in the first three games, depsite hitting .390 in the two previous combined series. Rodriguez responded in game four by going 4-for-4, including 2 home runs and 6 RBIs, allowing the Mets to win 13-5. Game five was yet another Mets blowout, in which Rodriguez, Mike Piazza, Roberto Alomar, and Fred McGriff all hit home runs, and the Mets would win 15-2, needing only one more win to clinch a title.
Game six was a pitcher's duel between Kevin Appier of New York and rookie Joe Saunders of Anaheim, with a score of 0-0 heading into the ninth inning. Rodriguez led off the ninth with a double off of Troy Percival, and Mike Piazza was intentionally walked, bringing rookie third baseman Ty Wigginton up to the plate. Wigginton fouled off 7 pitches in a 13 pitch at-bat before hitting a single up the middle, scoring Rodriguez and putting the Mets up 1-0. Armando Benitex ptiched a 1-2-3 bottom half, winning the series for the Mets.

11 Jul Los Angeles Real Estate Forecast
LA's Real Estate – Sky Rocketing Housing Prices
2016 was a great year for real estate sales in Los Angeles and you're likely wondering when it might be the right time to invest in an income property or buy a home, or sell your current home in LA. The question is whether buyers will be brave enough to launch in 2017.
Looks like more buyers, real estate investors are hopeful they can find the right property in the right city or zip code. 405,530 single-family homes were sold in California in December 2016 which was up 9.6% from November and up 10.7% from December 2014. We're still waiting for the December LA County stats however, we can expect similar rises in LA.
In it's last forecast report, CAR admits that it erred in its forecast due to a flat US economy, underestimating the lack of home supply, and uncertainty about the election. These may have all been political issues that skewed their forecast.
No one's certain what Trump might do in 2017, however more pundits are coming around to say his policies may have a very good impact. We should keep in mind that only 30% of Californians own a home so the door is wide open for opportunity and new sales, particularly with first time buyers. The problem is that homeowners don't want to sell.
The US economy will pick up steam and Californians will be buying a home again even if they have 1 hour+ commutes, higher interest rates, and out migration to remote towns.
Check out the top housing factors below affecting housing prices in discover a better homes for sale search process.
The Telling Stats about LA's Forecast
If buyer's are hoping for bargains in the next 4 years, they're unlikely to find them. Despite a dip in September, prices for homes and condos are up $24k to $30k from one year ago. Are the Asian and Persian buyers pulling out of LA? The Trump instability and trade issue might be a pause before even more money pours into the reviving American economy. Make American Great Again, also creates excellent investment opportunities in California, paying out in $US.
- jobs being repatriated back to the US from Mexico and China
- employment already good and rising
- the end of Obamacare?
- the end of Dodd-Frank restrictions on lending
- general Federal easing of real estate development expected
- it will take some time for mortgage rates to rise
- still isn't enough housing to house LA's growing population (recession)

The US Real Estate Market is ideal for real estate marketing and real estate investment
It's the Los Angeles housing forecast that is perhaps one of the most interesting forecasts for the US for the next few years. California's housing developers are hard pressed to build homes to house the population. We can speculate that homes will rise in price for the next 4 years. It's not easy to predict though when people are talking real estate bubbles, NAFTA cancellations, Brexit, skyrocketing prices, vacillating oil prices, reduced immigration, and presidential elections.
Overall, the Los Angeles forecast was very good for sellers with plenty of demand and with the average price of a home hitting $690,000 last summer. Affordability is dropping though and only 30% of LA county residents own a home.
Given the nasty commutes Los Angeles workers are enduring, this housing crisis should be a top priority for the California state governor.
A few pundits are suggesting homeowners need to build granny flats in everyone's back yard. Political battles are forming over the effect of regulations on LA's and California's home construction. Who will win? Will they battle Trump head to head to stop new development?
The situation may become worse than what San Francisco, Vancouver, and Toronto have been through, and what Miami, New York, and Boston may be into now.
Save your Money on Auto Insurance Quotes in LA
Are you paying too much for car insurance in Los Angeles? Some zip codes and neighborhoods are subject to higher premiums. Are you okay with that? How about finding lower car insurance rates and making it a habit of shopping for auto insurance every year? 2017 is a good year to save:)
Here's the Hottest Zip Codes in Los Angeles
Some realtors speculate the LA's market is understandable by niche such as the luxury niche. Some types of properties have consistently high demand and prices regardless of the economy. If Trump does heat up the US economy, we can expect these hot luxury neighbourhoods and pricey zip codes to appreciate even faster.
LA Curbed's list of hot zip codes: Los Angeles's 90012 zip code is shaping up to be the 2nd fastest growing area in the nation at 8.8% growth, 2nd behind only Gilbert AZ. The 90012 zip code includes Chinatown, the Civic Center, Elysian Park, Victor Heights, parts of the Arts District and Bunker Hill, and most of Little Tokyo.
Here's the LA Times hot zip code list:
Santa Monica 90402 – Average home price: $3,237,500
Hermosa Beach 9025 – Average home price: $1,693,500
Lincoln Heights/Montecito 90031 – Average home price $458,500 +14.6%
City Terrace 90063 – Average home price: $320,000 +18.5%
Marina Del Rey 90292 – Average home price: $2,157,500 +23%
Manhattan Beach 90266 – Average home price: $2,100,000 +10%
Compton – 90220 – Average home price: $285,000 +9.8%
Playa Del Rey 90293 – Average home price: $1,517,500 +26.5%
Toluca Lake Studio City 91602 – Average home price: $1,022,500
Read more on the best zip codes in the US for investors and homebuyers.
LA Home Prices Fully Recovered?
The Los Angeles home price graph below courtesy of Zillow shows how prices have almost returned to pre-recession values and are beginning to level off. To forecast prices and demand for the LA region, we'd have to examine the cause of the moderation and if it's a fact. Here's LA's hottest zip codes.
Last year, home prices in LA rose 7.8%. That's a fairly strong ascent to just snap out of, so we're left wondering what really is the outlook is for the 2017 to 2020 period? With prices high and rising, it makes sense that the number of buyers will dwindle (preferring to rent) and a leveling off would occur. It seems however, this is more of a guess by forecasters not really backed up by a solid consideration of all the factors that will be in play during the next 4 years – defeated regulations, growing economy, and reduced immigration.

Is there a Housing Bubble Market?
Here's the thing. According to a Harvard real estate guru, bubbles don't burst until demand dries up — an increase in unsold inventory.
Do you honestly think there will be no demand for coastal California property, especially Los Angeles county or Orange county? As you'll see from the data in this post below, there is huge demand for property. Supply is the problem.
Economic Factors that affect Home Prices in LA
[bctt tweet="13 factors that affect the #LosAngeles housing forecast. #LA #homesforsale #condos #luxuryhomes #propertyforsale #Forecasts" username=""]
- Housing Demand – High overall demand – "all cash bidding wars" in some cases
- Housing Supply – Throttled, supply is far from what's needed
- Mortgage Rates – Continuing Low, especially in light of global economic slackening
- Down Payment and mortgage rules – Banks are withdrawing FHA loans however some are offering downpayments as low as 3%
- Regional Employment – Very low and remaining low
- Buyer Income – low and not rising much
- Home Prices – High and rising – out of reach for many buyers – many consider LA homes grossly over-priced
- Demographics – Millennials coming into family and home buying years and LA millennials have had the lowest rate of home buying (pent up demand)
- Number of Renters – increasing fast
- New Home Construction: slow (100k to 140k per year)
- Economic-Foreign Trade – Trump expected to reduce US deficit
- Election Year – Voters uncertain of what Trump will create
- Taxes on Sale of Home – Tax situation is great for sellers
Historical Data
This intriguing graphic courtesy of http://journal.firsttuesday.us/ reveals that home sales in Los Angeles is actually well down from historical levels. The likely reason for that is lower income buyers simply have even less income to buy and of course the high prices. Home ownership is lowest in California.
A complete recovery of around 110,000 annual home sales will likely occur in 2019-2020, as end user demand in Los Angeles County is buttressed by a Great Confluence of Baby Boomers (Boomers) and first-time buyers who are lured by further employment (needed to accommodate population growth of roughly 1% annually since the beginning of the Great Recession).
That's a forecast growth of about 20,000 homes per year over current current 2016 levels.
Another interesting stat provided by firsttuesday is the very low rate of home ownership and how much it's plummeted. It's on the uprise now, and you're left wondering whether Trump's renewed emphasis of America First will encourage the growth of home ownership?
LA Economic Forecast – Very Rosy
The forecast for economic growth for the Los Angeles is optimistic at this point. Visit http://laedc.org/2015/09/30/new-2016-2020-economic-forecast-published-93015/ for the most recent info and their forecast up to 2020.
This Stat from CAR shows homes have been on a rollercoaster ride of sorts yet, 2016's expected resale volume is still well down from 2011 and 2012's highs. If incomes should rise in the LA area, it could have the effect of stimulating new housing construction and increase sales of homes. With the number renters skyrocketing, there's a huge pool of potential buyers.
Home reSales Forecasts 2016f
This graphic reveals the exceptionally high cost of renting in Los Angeles compared with other major centers. The housing availability problem isn't isolated to California or LA, it's a US wide issue. The high housing costs in the coastal California areas however may prevent many skilled workers from migrating to LA to work. Startups for instance may be forced to leave San Francisco, Bay Area and LA because of the cost. San Diego County may be a better option for the short term.
This is a short term forecast from LA realtor James Campbell, who believes prices will drop?!
What can we conclude from the above data? That LA's market for realtors is very promising, yet just as it is in San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver, finding sellers and convincing them to sell will be a key challenge. Digital marketing efforts could be vital to any realtor hoping to maximize demand and achieve highest price for their clients. Is this the right year to buy rental income property? Find out which are the best investments in 2017 including investing in real estate.

What an excellent little hotel!
We went here earlier this month and stayed two weeks and had just an amazing vacation.
10 Reasons I LOVE the Luna Blue Hotel:
10. Kitty - they have a kitty named Frankie, well actually 3 cats but Frankie the orange cat is very friendly and nice. Every night he would visit us before bed and we would pet him and cuddle. He made us feel at home.
9. No TV - there is no TV and that is GOOD! You are in Mexico, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world is footsteps from your door along with an amazing nightlife in Playa. You have no excuses to watch TV. Don't.
8. Bar Fridge and a Water Cooler in every room - that's right we had a water cooler! It was amazing. Too much Tequila no longer a problem to stay hydrated in the middle of the night.
7. Big Beach Towels - you get to borrow their amazing large beach towels and get new ones anytime you want free
6. Beach Passes - Mamitas beach club has been rated in the top 5 beaches in the world by that travel channel, they charge approx $15 a day to rent 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella with service. You get this FREE from Luna Blue every day! You also have 4 other clubs to choose from
5. American Hotel Owners - Cheri and Toni and originally from the SF bay area. They now live in Mexico which means you can be assured you will be understood, and if your from the US or Canada it is nice to be with some fellow Gringo's. They make excellent guides.
4. Mexican Charm - the hotel is cute and of an authentic local Mexican decor. The garden is quiet and relaxing.... look at the pictures!
3. Value - the prices are very reasonable and fair. You save much more staying here and eating on 5th or 10th than going to a crowded all inclusive
2. Location - right in the heart of 5th ave, the tourist stretch. A 1 mile walking street full of shops and bars. Lots of live music and entertainment
1. Strong Wi-Fi - Most hotels in Mexico have crummy Wi-Fi. I've stayed in 6 hotels in the area and talked with many other computer geeky friends and none of us have had strong Wi-Fi signal in our rooms. Oh and I'm talking 5 Stars like the Royal too - lovely property, bad Wi-Fi there, but not at Luna Blue! I'm confident they have the best in town. 5 bars full signal no matter where I went. Heck even a block over I was able to get on their Wi-Fi and make a Skype call from my iPhone. For me that made my vacation. As much as i love to get away access to email in the mornings and evenings is essential. That way I can post to Facebook, connect with friends, get my Kindle books, news, and check the occasional email from work.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Luna Blue Hotel is located in Playa del Carmen's popular north end, three short blocks from the beach and half a block from the restaurants, shops and nightlife of 5th Avenue. This boutique hotel features palapa-covered balconies, a sunken tropical garden swimming pool, a lush garden, and one of the most popular bars in town. The hotel offers free use of four beach clubs and various local discounts. American owners and their bilingual staff offer you personal attention during your stay in paradise. ... more less

The latest update to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), an anti-piracy program, is calling home to Microscoft every day. This latest update will contact Microsoft regarding the authenticity of your Window's machine. If it is found to be pirated, they will deny you critical updates. Users that are running a pirated version of Windows will now be notified on their desktop without even having a web brower open.
Microsoft has implemented programs such as this to help reduce the amount of users operating a pirated version of Windows. Those who have unknowingly purchased a pirated version of Windows are eligible for a genuine free copy, just as long as they provide a proof of purchase and turn in their pirated copy.
This latest update has caused some to question whether or not this program should be considered spyware. I'm sure we will be hearing more about this in the future!

Ice, Ice, Baby!
"But, honey! They all look good on your finger, doesn't matter which one you decide to get!"
Sounds familiar? That's just another way of saying, "they all look the same to me, that's precisely why I left this detail for you to decide." This is what you're going through if you have rejected his choice of the engagement ring and now the honor of choosing one for yourself lies in your hands. You can't just go with what looks good, because, let's face it: what sparkling droplet of immortal ice doesn't look good on mama's finger? What he doesn't know is what perpetual dilemma his lady is in when she's exposed to an array of beautiful setting choices – you'll either be able to make quite a statement if you know what you're doing, or you'll end up making a decision that is oh-so-wrong! We're here to ensure you manage the former, helping you decide on just the right diamond engagement ring setting for yourself.
Rings Have Personalities Too!
First of all, you need to decide on the outlook you intend to portray. Is it glamorous, traditional, or vintage? That is the most important decision you will make in the process of choosing a diamond engagement ring setting, actually rendering the rest of the steps a breeze.
Going with a solitaire is as classic a choice as the ritual of proposing with a diamond ring. Since it's classic, it automatically lends an age-old elegance to the idea. A solitaire ring design takes a minimalistic approach towards the setting and is usually accompanied by a single prong setting and simple metal band.
Another unique prong setting, this style is for the glam-gal in you. Looking for the diamond itself is the angel, surrounded by smaller diamond angels to form a halo, it's the ultimate choice for the modern woman.
As the name clearly says, this setting looks like two bands of diamonds have been joined, or might we say "paved," to make one. In this magnificent piece of jewelry, barely any metal band is visible, making it the go-to choice for the women who like to go BIG!
Channel setting is as ugly as it is elegant – one big rock in the middle and little diamonds to surround it halfway around the band, just like the bride and her bridesmaids. Channel is an example of a shared prong setting. If you're the kind who wants to make a statement without going too bold, this one was invented just for you!
Colored Gemstone
Not everyone likes to go for classic looks when it comes to jewelry. A little splash of color never hurt anyone. Who is to say that rock can't be surrounded by some rubies (or whichever gemstone is your favorite)? Tell Regal, with your engagement ring by just adding your unique touch to it. This ring can be any setting your heart desires – single or shared prong, channel, or pave!
Three-stone Rings
The name speaks for itself – one rock isn't enough to express themselves for some people. Usually, couples use this style to represent the amount of time they've been together or something else that's special and close to their hearts. If that idea appeals to you lovebirds, then go for this super special ring purchase!
The task is not as daunting as it seems; it's only a matter of choosing a style, and then everything else fits in place. But one can become overwhelmed when presented with so many diamond engagement ring setting choices; they're a woman's favorite form of ice after all!

We've all read the stories and heard the testimonials: Travel can be a pretty life-changing experience for a lot of people.
For some, their eyes are opened wide to new cultures and ways of life. Some fall in love — either with a place, or a person in it. Some decide that the nomadic lifestyle suits them, and abandon all semblances of their pasts. And still others return from their travels with memories and experiences that will shape and influence aspects of their lives for years to come.
Everybody travels a little bit differently, and everybody takes away something different from their travels.
There's absolutely no doubt about it. I am not the same person I was when I graduated high school, untraveled and yet eager to see the world.
In the years since I graduated high school, a lot in my life has changed. I went to college, moved away from home, got a job, and took advantage of every possible opportunity to pack my suitcase and go out and see the world.
In high school, I dreamed of travel. I wanted to experience new cultures, maybe pick up a few phrases in a new language, and come home with tales and photos of far-off lands. But that sort of travel isn't necessarily life-changing.
Spending a week abroad is not nearly enough time to really comprehend and appreciate any one place. I, like so many other travelers, was at first obsessed with racking up all the travel experiences I possibly could, to collect them like keychains or postcards in order to display them later on my bookcase like trophies. I went bungy jumping in New Zealand. I played a marching band concert on the Great Wall of China. I ate gelato in Italy. I toured Ireland with an Irish rock band.
But none of these experiences changed me. At least, not fundamentally.
Sure, my first trip to New Zealand made me fall in love with the country. My trip to China opened my eyes up to just how very different our two cultures are. And all of my jaunts instilled within me the desire to see, do and learn more.
But my real, life-changing travel experience did not come until my senior year of college, when I decided to study abroad.
I could go on and on about the benefits of studying abroad. But why bother? So many others have already covered it. Bottom line: Study abroad is awesome, and you should do it.
Studying abroad had been something I'd wanted to do since those high school days spent daydreaming about travel. I wanted to live somewhere else for a while; get a true sense of a country that was not my own. New Zealand was a logical first choice.
I left everything behind to go to New Zealand – my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my comfy bed, the sense of security that comes along with everything that is familiar. It was terrifying, and yet liberating at the same time.
It was easily the best choice I have ever made.
Going to New Zealand was something I did solely for myself. But that meant that everything to do with the trip was also completely up to me. I traveled alone, dealt with a nightmarish housing situation on my own, and was compelled to meet new people on my own.
But, having no one to rely on except yourself forces you to approach things differently; it forces you to change. Living in New Zealand for nearly five months forced me to become more independent and self-sufficient.
It was in New Zealand that I believe I really grew into myself. Discovering something new about my host country, living abroad, or traveling often led to the discovery of something new about myself. The whole idea of "finding oneself" through travel may sound silly, but, considering the amount of learning that can take place abroad, it's really not such a far-fetched concept.
I may not have come home from New Zealand looking any different. I didn't return with a funny accent, new political views, or a strange diet, either. But I did come home changed in more subtle ways.
Being on my own for months left me plenty of time to contemplate a lot of things about my life. Traveling around a country that I adored made me realize that life can be about doing things you love, and not just about things you think you're supposed to love.
Once I returned to Ohio, I realized that the epiphanies I'd had overseas were important. Though I looked and sounded like the same person who had boarded a plane five months earlier, I didn't feel like the same person anymore.
So I decided to make some changes in my life.
I decided to focus on travel writing for my undergrad thesis. I broke up with my boyfriend. I cut ties with some friends who never had really been friends at all. Simply put, I began focusing on the things in life that I loved, and letting go of everything else.
It took travel to make me realize what I really want to get out of life. I want passion and joy and adventure, not complacency and regrets. I want to love the life I'm living; to be challenged in order to appreciate the success and good times more.
And it took my trip to New Zealand to make me realize this. It took travel to make me realize that I'm the only one who has the ability to change the course of my life. I'm the only one who can go after the things that I want.
Without a doubt, travel has changed me. Shaped me, even.
And I wouldn't want it any other way.
Have you experienced similar transformations as the result of travel? Was there one specific moment when you realized you had changed? How are you different?

This will be a difficult review because I'm going to combine the dining experience and staying at the Inn. We wanted to come here even before the excellent New York Times review.
It is only a 1½ hour drive from Seattle to Bellingham where you catch a small car ferry (holds 20 cars) to transport you to Lummi Island. It is a beautiful island, and it was a good thing to explore a San Juan Island that we haven't visited before.
We stayed in the "hillside room" behind the main lobby on the back corner of the main building. Our room was comfortable (a bit dark for my taste) but luckily we weren't in the room much during the day. If you want to read in the room during the day then you would need to have the lights on. The bathroom was ok, but lacked shelves to put your toiletries on. There was this tiny 3-tier table where the face towels and hair blower were contained. There isn't much space for your toiletries.
The nice thing about the room is that there was a second door that gave access to the main lobby where you could grab some coffee in the morning before breakfast was served in the main dining room at 8:30.
The dinner was wonderful with 5 or 6 mini plates that let you have a bite of smoked salmon, oysters, clams, smoke cod, heirloom tomatoes, spring salad, kale w/truffle oil, before the main menu appears (another 5 plates). The servers poured complimentary prosecco during the mini plates and when the five-courses began you could order wine by the glass or accompany your meal with the juice ($40) or wine ($65) pairing. They had enough servers to handle the full restaurant so the service was excellent. The rating would have been a 4, but I gave it a 3 because before our arrival we were told that they had increased the price for the dinner. It seems that management should have honored the rate they quoted us when we made our reservations.
The hot tub was situated on a slight hill that was in a shady spot surrounded by trees but we didn't get a chance to use it because it was out of order. The Inn's reception desk could have provided a map of the island and given out points of interests when we checked in but didn't. We discovered on our own there was a farmers market on Saturday. There was no mention of complimentary bikes but only the electrical bikes on the website. When we inquired about renting them for the day we were pleasantly surprise to learn they also had complimentary bikes for guests to use. They had 4-5 bikes available and not in the best condition, but they worked well enough to explore and do wine tasting on the island.
When we checked out on a Sunday we asked about the ferry schedule and were told that on the weekends the ferries run every hour. We drove to the ferry and decided to get in line and wait. To our surprise the ferry loaded every half hour.
I was glad that we came here for the dinner but the Inn wasn't anything memorable.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Willows Inn on Lummi Island has become the Northwest's premiere destination for authentic farm to table dining. Come in and experience the culinary magic of our chef, Blaine Wetzel, and find out what eating from your landscape is all about. Savor wines from our extensive selection. Enjoy our elegantly comfortable accommodations. Drink in the views, watch whales, or relax with a cocktail by a blazing fire. Unplug, recharge and experience the Willows Inn--an authentic and affordable San Juan Islands adventure!

Second part of the two-parter and it definitely delivered the laughs. Charlie Sheen is going through some personal problems lately, to put it lightly, but it is good to know that it has not effected his comedic abilities one ioda. The show is not what it once was, that's not debatable at all, but you can still count on some solid laughs all around from the cast (well, except Chelsea of course).
Alan has become essentially a side-show clown though, who does nothing but stupid things nowadays, so that character needs some direction, but other than that this season has still been quite enjoyable for the most part.

'Starship Troopers' Remake?
December 3, 2011 by staff
'Starship Troopers' Remake?, Starship Troopers, the 1997 film based loosely on the 1959 military science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, has spawned three direct to video sequels and a video game; now, a cinematic reboot is apparently being planned.
Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Starship Troopers was the only theatrically released film in the Starship Troopers franchise and nominated for an Academy Award for visual effects in 1998. Starring Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside, the film follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the futuristic Mobile Infantry military unit. Rico's military career progresses from recruit to non-commissioned officer and finally to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and an arachnid-like alien species called "Bugs".
A recent report states that producer Neal Moritz (The Green Hornet, 21 Jump Street) is developing a Starship Troopers remake for Sony Pictures. No other details have become available at this time; neither is is clear how soon to the studio would hope to push the project into production.

Democrats in the Maine Legislature again pushed for Medicaid expansion during the 2016 session, but could not overcome Gov. Paul LePage's ongoing opposition on the issue. LePage has vetoed five previous Medicaid expansion bills, and the 2016 bill, LD633, passed but only by one vote — far from a veto-proof majority. It was tabled and died at the end of the 2016 legislative session.
Medicaid has been a political battle in Maine. Not only has LePage rejected Medicaid expansion, he also cut existing coverage through eligibility changes that went into effect March 1, 2013, and Jan. 1, 2014. And many Republicans in the legislature have also opposed Medicaid expansion, preventing the legislature from getting enough votes to overcome LePage's vetoes.
The 2014 gubernatorial campaign offered hope for a turnaround on Medicaid expansion. The issue was a factor in the three-way governor's race, and LePage was considered vulnerable in his re-election bid. However, LePage was re-elected, winning by about 48 percent of the vote.
The next election is scheduled for 2018, but there were rumors in 2016 that LePage might resign following a threatening, profanity-laced tirade that he directed at a state lawmaker. At the end of August, LePage confirmed that he intended to remain in office, but there have been continued calls for his resignation. If LePage remains in office, Medicaid expansion legislation in 2017 or 2018 would have to pass with a veto-proof majority in order to be successful.
Without expansion, about 38,000 low-income adult Mainers are not eligible for Medicaid and about 24,000 are in the coverage gap according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Eligibility guidelines for Maine Medicaid
As of July 1, 2014, Maine residents who meet the following income limits qualify for Medicaid:
- Children up to 1 year old: 191 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL)
- Children ages 1 to 18: 157 percent of FPL; children with family income up to 208 percent of FPL qualify for the Children's Health Insurance Program
- 19 and 20 year olds: 156 percent of FPL
- Pregnant women: 209 percent of FPL
- Parents and other caretakers: 100 percent of FPL

Maine's Medicaid program is called MaineCare. If you think you may qualify, here is how you can submit an application.

Reversal in Maine's approach
Gov. LePage has reversed the course on Medicaid set by former Gov. John Baldacci. Baldacci authorized Dirigo Health in 2003. The program expanded Medicaid and subsidized private health insurance for middle-income residents. However, the program faced several financial difficulties as about 25 percent of the state's residents enrolled in Medicaid by 2010 and Medicaid spending consumed nearly 30 percent of the state budget. The state fell behind in Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals, which were due nearly $500 million in state and federal payments.
LePage took office in 2011 and has since led efforts to cut the state's Medicaid program. First, he reduced the eligibility limits for adults with dependents and reduced benefits for elderly Medicaid beneficiaries. Second, Maine ended coverage for adults without dependents, effective Jan. 1, 2014. The stricter eligibility limits resulted in about 25,000 people losing Medicaid eligibility. Third, the LePage administration petitioned the federal government for approval to end coverage for 19- and 20-year olds.
When the federal government rejected the request, the administration appealed the decision in circuit court with the help of outside counsel. The state's attorney general declined to represent the state, saying the appeal had lacked merit. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in November 2014 upheld the federal government's decision. The state petitioned to have the case heard by the Supreme Court, but the petition was denied in June 2015. Since the Supreme Court won't hear Maine's case, the lower court's decision stands, and Maine has continued to provide Medicaid coverage for roughly 6,500 eligible 19 and 20-year-olds.
As of October 2014, about 291,000 people were enrolled in MaineCare. By July 2016, enrollment had decreased to 270,827. Nationwide, Medicaid/CHIP enrollment has grown by 27 percent since the end of 2013, including states that have expanded Medicaid as well as those that have not.

Anyone suffering under the crushing weight of debt knows how impossible it can seem to find a way out. It's overwhelming - and the more complicated the proposed solution, the harder it is to stick with it. That's why The Debt-Free Spending Plan is simple.

Simple and realistic
Most financial help books tell you to not use credit cards, pay down debt, and keep it that way. I think we all know that. We just don't know how to get there. The Debt Snowball is great, and it works, but only if you don't have a slip-up, and don't have a unexpected expense early in the process.
This book gives you a solid plan to tackle your spending, plan for unexpected expenses, and still live your life. She does recommend, at first, only paying the minimum balance -- or only what you can afford. The reason for this, and the key thing most authors miss out on, is that you did not accrue debt by throwing money in the street. You bought too many comic books, or clothes, or whatever. Most of us do not have superhuman will power. For those that do, this is not your book.
For the rest of us, the very first thing you need to do is to plan to live your life. And that includes having a very small bit of fun. At first. You can tackle the Snowball later, when you have practice living within your means. She provides detailed step-by-step instructions on how to set up a spending plan that you can actually live with.

Life Changing
I would recommend this book to anyone that doesn't have the basics down. I really enjoyed this audio book. When I listened to this book, it touched base on all the things I was doing wrong. It helped me create a budget and really stick to you. It helped my partner and I.
How to create budgets, financial planning and saving. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Hm. I could've sworn I reviewed this chapter. Anyways, I loved this chapter, especially the ending. Sounded like a lot of fun, tasering a snake.
P.S. I'm still up for continuing Habits Die Hard if you are.
| Crystal Manning chapter 15 . 2/1/2009
I LOVED Snakes on a Plane.
I don't understand why a lot of people hated it.

| Crystal Manning chapter 14 . 1/1/2009
Man, I didn't expect to see another chapter added to this.
I love these one-shots, but I bet you know that by now.
And Newt letting her have an abortion?
I seriously didn't think he'd let
her do it. I totally thought he would
make her give the baby up for adoption.
Well, I really liked this one, I can't wait for more.
| Crystal Manning chapter 13 . 7/29/2008
This was a great chapter! I can't wait for you to update so update soon!

That's one of my favorite songs. And, wow, you really meant suggestive, lol. Surprisingly I could see Newt acting that way. I hope you update soon.
| Crystal Manning chapter 9 . 5/30/2008
Yay! You're back! I thought you were dead! Nah, just kidding. This chapter was awesome. I remeber when i saw the episode with Jessica in it, she annoyed me so much. I'm glad you put a chapter that had to do with her. And Rebel dressed up yet fighting like a real woman. Somehow that vision made me laugh so hard. I hoped you update soon becuase i love this so much!
| Crystal Manning chapter 8 . 4/22/2008
Aw. That was cute. Funny thing is people at my school did that
same check yes or no thing. It was really funny at the time but

fact that the baby was his.
But i liked it anyway.
| maymaychelle chapter 5 . 3/27/2008
What does OC mean? I see it everywhere. and am really confused. When I say OC, I mean like when someone says Newt/OC.

Loved this! You know, i realized that this seems more and more like a story with a lot of info missing. Hmm, well i love this, like you know all ready. Update soon please!

Skip to comments.The cave of bones: A story of solenodon survival
Posted on 06/01/2010 10:07:22 AM PDT by JoeProBono
Conservationists are in the Dominican Republic attempting to save one of the world's most strange and ancient mammals - the Hispaniolan solenodon.
While trying to track down one of these creatures, The Last Survivors team is also trying to find out exactly how this animal has been able to survive for a remarkable 76 million years.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.bbc.co.uk ...
Being cute for 76 million years is no small task!!!

"The Last Survivors team is also trying to find out exactly how this animal has been able to survive for a remarkable 76 million years."
It avoids Democrats.
solenodon ping
That's not a soleonodon, thats a brown long nosed oppossum........
THANK YOU!! That was exactly what I thought when I saw it. Just a dang possum. I just wish they were endangered around here in Muddysippi. Darned things can really mess up your alignment. Solid little suckers when you hit one with the car tire.
I don't know if you are in a city or suburbs or country......I live in the highly populated suburbs about 12 miles east of Detroit and believe you me, between the possums and coons, neither one of those damn varmints have learned how to cross roads.
I have a live trap and over the last few years have caught countless possums and several coons that always end up in my subdivision........
You're right tho, those possums are like logs with legs..........

- Hi Kate,
That zipper mod does look nice. It adds weight. Also, I'm not sure how
well zippers work under pressure of getting into and out of a hammock,
but quite a few hammocks do use zippers.
The Hennessey is the lightest complete package. Even so, I'm thinking
I'd probably prefer something like this
<http://www.mosquitohammock.com/mosquitohammock.html>, but with black
netting (white isn't see-through). I like being able to sleep in the
diagonal and I prefer sleeping head right and feet left of the center
line. Hennessey's Asym hammock are all oriented head left and feet
right of the center line.
Yes, try several before you buy. Test each for several nights (like a
month?), too.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Ten days ago, Seton Hall suffered a close-fought five-point loss to Syracuse, a top-25 team, here at The Rock. But the Pirates were without leading scorer Jeremy Hazell.
Tuesday night, Seton Hall had Hazell in the lineup, but the result was the same. The Pirates fell by a nickel, this time to No. 23 Georgetown.
This defeat was even more gut-wrenching than the previous loss. Against Syracuse, Seton Hall got within only two late in the second half. Against Georgetown, the Pirates surged from a seven-point halftime deficit to a six-point lead with 3:06 remaining, but couldn't close out the Hoyas.
Hazell -- playing in just his third game after missing almost two months with a broken left wrist -- had 15 points, but shot just 5-for-16 from the floor. And with the game tied at 73, with a little more than a minute remaining, Hazell missed a jumper that would have given the Pirates the lead.
"Eventually, I'll start hitting more," Hazell said. "But right now, I'm not hitting the shots that I normally make, so that's just on me."
The 6-foot-5 senior -- who averaged more than 20 points per game the past two seasons, and was named first-team All-Big East this preseason -- was brilliant in his first game back, scoring 23 points on 10-for-17 shooting in a win over DePaul on Wednesday. But he was just 3-for-13 for nine points in a 21-point loss to Pitt on Saturday, and not much better against Georgetown.
"I knew when he scored [23] against DePaul, I knew it was the worst thing in the world to happen," Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said. "He's gonna struggle a little bit until he kinda gets back in shape, back in basketball form.
"He didn't touch a basketball for two and a half months, so for him to come back and people expect him to be Superman, it's a little comic book-ish."
On the bright side for Seton Hall (8-11, 2-5 in the Big East), Hazell's supporting cast was excellent on Tuesday night. Senior forward Jeff Robinson had 21 points and seven rebounds, junior forward Herb Pope had 16 points and nine rebounds before fouling out with 2:11 to go (which really hurt down the stretch), and junior guard Jordan Theodore had 17 points, six assists and zero turnovers.
Hazell even went as far as to say the Pirates would have won if he had been 100 percent. "Definitely," Hazell said. "Georgetown's a tough team, but today I think my teammates played a helluva game."
When asked how he felt after the game, Hazell estimated that he was at about 85 percent right now. "My wrist is not bothering me," Hazell said. "I have padded protection on it, so it feels good. It's just a little awkward when I'm dribbling the ball, but other than that I feel great."
"I don't think he's too far off, because he's been working hard," Willard said. "I really think in two weeks he'll be back shooting 50 percent."
The question is, where will Seton Hall be in two weeks? The Pirates have now lost six of their past eight games, with the wins coming against Big East bottom-feeders South Florida and DePaul. The Pirates have a critical game against in-state rival Rutgers (10-7, 1-4) on Saturday afternoon back here at The Rock, before a rematch with Syracuse at the Carrier Dome next Tuesday.
It is imperative for Seton Hall to beat Rutgers, and Providence (0-6 in the Big East) at home on Jan. 30, if it still harbors any hope of participating in March Madness.
The Pirates' coach remained steadfastly optimistic after the game, citing Hazell and his predicted rapid recovery as the reason.
"That's why, as disappointed as I am with the loss, I can see this team really getting good pretty soon," Willard said. "I don't think we're too far off."
