MIAMI — The Marlins are no longer pinching pennies, and Giancarlo Stanton won't be, either.
Stanton agreed to terms with the team Monday on a 13-year, $325 million contract, Miami owner Jeffrey Loria said. It's the most lucrative deal for an American athlete and averages $25 million per season — or $154,321 per game.
The deal includes a no-trade clause, and Stanton can opt out after six years, Loria said.
"It's a landmark moment for the franchise and Giancarlo, and it's for the city and fans to rally around," Loria said.
Any kind of multiyear deal is a big departure for the Marlins and Loria, whose frugal ways have alienated fans, angered the players' union and made the franchise the butt of jokes.
Given such thriftiness, the Marlins' generosity toward Stanton becomes even more stunning. His contract tops the 10-year, $292 million deal Miguel Cabrera agreed to with the Detroit Tigers in March. Alex Rodriguez signed the largest previous deal, a 10-year, $275 million contract with the Yankees before the 2008 season.
Stanton, who turned 25 on Nov. 8, is perhaps the game's most feared slugger. He has 154 career homers despite playing in spacious Marlins Park.
"Giancarlo Stanton has come of age, and he's going to be here a long time," Loria said. "It's wonderful to have a young man this caliber, integrity and ability, and I'm very happy."
The Marlins right fielder and centerpiece wasn't set to become eligible for free agency until after the 2016 season, and signing him to a long-term deal was considered a long shot. The Marlins haven't reached the playoffs since 2003, and he was distrustful of the franchise's direction.
Miami's 2014 payroll of $52.3 million was the lowest in the majors. The last time they spent big was before the 2012 season, the first in their new ballpark. Then came a disastrous season and another salary purge, intensifying fan animosity toward Loria.
That sell-off and subsequent roster rebuilding set the stage for the Stanton deal, Loria said.
"Unfortunately people didn't understand that two years ago, we had no choice," the owner said. "I had to get to today."
Loria said he doesn't expect Stanton to opt out when he's 31 and sees a positive side to the no-trade clause.
"There will be no distraction about, 'Will he be traded?' " Loria said.
Stanton's 2014 season ended Sept. 11 when he was hit in the face by a pitch and suffered fractures in his face and other injuries. Despite missing the final 17 games, he led the NL with 37 homers and a .555 slugging percentage for the Marlins, who went 77-85 but ended a three-year streak of last-place finishes in the NL East.
The Marlins have said they're not concerned the injuries will have lingering effects. They made locking up Stanton their top offseason priority and overcame his skepticism about their efforts to fielding a winning team.
The Marlins believe they're poised to contend next year with a young roster than includes right-handers Jose Fernandez and Henderson Alvarez, left fielder Christian Yelich, center fielder Marcell Ozuna and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria.

Here's a lovely, tasty alternative to the traditional Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
Why try? This dessert will please the traditionalists who insist on having pumpkin pie, while appealing to those who'd like to try something just a little bit different.
Foodie Byte: Just like a classic pumpkin pie, a generous dollop of whipped cream really tops off this tart nicely.
Wine Pairing: Tawny Port. Try a 10- or 20-year-old tawny port with the rich notes of hazelnut. That's what makes the Tawny Port ideal for this dessert tart . . . or for your favorite pumpkin pie! For more about wine pairings, see Wineexperience.com.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Serves: 6
• 2 9-inch refrigerated pie dough discs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree, canned, unsweetened
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg, large, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sanding sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
2. Roll out 1 pie dough disc on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thick. Press crust into tart pan and prick bottom several times with a fork.
3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
4. Combine pumpkin, cream, egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until completely blended. Pour into cooled tart shell.
5. To make lattice -- roll out remaining dough disc 1/8-inch thick. Using a pastry wheel or knife, cut ten 3/4-inch wide strips (the number of strips required will vary depending on your spacing). Weave strips on top of pumpkin filling.
6. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and cinnamon.
7. Bake tart for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is set.
8. Allow tart to completely cool before serving.

Here are the Crystal Ball Run Week 9 staff picks!
Cincinnati at No. 16 Louisville: 8 PM, Friday, ESPN
Tom Perry's Take: This game lost a little of its luster when Cincinnati was upset by Toledo last week, but the Bearcats still have the Big East title to play for. To have a chance, Cincinnati must get past Louisville and the Cardinals' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Louisville is at home and should be considered the favorite, but the Bearcats have actually defeated Louisville the last four times they played. The Cardinals showed some weaknesses in last week's 27-25 win over lowly South Florida.
The Pick: Cincinnati 28, Louisville 24
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Cincinnati 24, Louisville 14
Allen Kenney: Louisville 21, Cincinnati 20
Andy Coppens: Louisville 34, Cincinnati 27
Kevin McGuire: Louisville 26, Cincinnati, 24
Michael Felder: Louisville 25, Cincinnati 20
Tennessee at No. 17 South Carolina: 12:00 p.m. ESPN
Michael Felder's take: Both teams enter this game needing a win. For Tennessee, Derek Dooley needs it to stop the bleeding from a few big losses in a row. For South Carolina, the team needs to get back on the winning track after some tough, physical beatings at the hands of LSU and Florida. Only one team can walk out with a win and given the way the Gamecocks have played at home it does not look good for the Doolander.
While the Gamecocks' light in the pants defense ultimately was worn down by LSU and their one-game commitment to the run, and Florida's push to get ground yards; they are designed perfectly for this Tennessee attack. A solid secondary, made better by two pass rushes tearing off the edge after quarterback Tyler Bray. Bray is going to have to hope his offensive line can keep him upright, otherwise he'll have a long day of getting dragged down by Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor. On defense Tennessee could be in for a long day too; Connor Shaw has to cut down turnovers and the best way to do that is running the football against a porous Volunteer defense.
The Pick: South Carolina 31 Tennessee 21
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: South Carolina 14, Tennessee 10
Allen Kenney: Tennessee 24, South Carolina 17
Andy Coppens: South Carolina 28, Tennessee 17
Kevin McGuire: South Carolina 31, Tennessee 20
Tom Perry: Tennessee 28, South Carolina 26
Ole Miss at Arkansas: Saturday, 12:21 p.m. SEC Network
Aaron Torres' Take: Isn't this kind of a battle of past SEC West power vs. a potential future one?
It seems like it as Ole Miss has played some inspired football in recent weeks under Hugh Freeze, nearly upsetting Texas A&M at home, before laying the wood on Auburn a few weeks later. As for Arkansas, well, we all know what's gone on there this season.
Still as far as Arkansas has regressed they have won two in a row, and I'm just not sure Ole Miss has enough firepower to go on the road and get the win here… yet.
These type wins will come in time for Freeze. This program still has a long way to go though.
The Pick: Arkansas 28, Ole Miss 20
Everyone Else's Take:
Allen Kenney: Ole Miss 30, Arkansas 27
Andy Coppens: Arkansas 33, Ole Miss 27
Kevin McGuire: Arkansas 28, Ole Miss 17
Michael Felder: Ole Miss 24, Arkansas 14
Tom Perry: Ole Miss 33, Arkansas 21
Michigan State at No. 25 Wisconsin: Saturday, 3:30pm ABC/ESPN2
Andy Coppens' Take: No two teams have ever played more games against each other in two seasons in Big Ten history and all have been ridiculously awesome games. Will this game live up to those standards?
Well, times are different for these two teams who are heading in different directions. Michigan State has already lost 3 conference games and Wisconsin has been blowing teams away since a conference opening loss on the road to Nebraska. The biggest match ups that will key who wins come up front on both sides of the ball. Whichever team controls the line of scrimmage will win this game hands down. Having said that, UW's offensive line is in vastly better shape and with the game in Madison for the first time in three years (three games) expect the crowd to really be into this one before "Freakfest" takes over at night.
The Pick: Wisconsin 27, Michigan State 17
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Wisconsin 21, Michigan State 6
Allen Kenney: Michigan State 23, Wisconsin 15
Kevin McGuire: Wisconsin 20, Michigan State 17
Michael Felder: Wisconsin 20, Michigan State 17
Tom Perry: Wisconsin 24, Michigan State 10
No.9 USC at Arizona: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ABC/ESPN2
Allen Kenney's Take: A mere eight weeks ago, plenty of us in the college football blognoscenti thought USC could possibly win the national championship. Yet, even though they still have a shot to make the top of the BCS rankings at the end of the season, the Trojans look to me like they're playing out the string since that loss to Stanford.
Blame Lane Kiffin, pundits – not for his technical coaching acumen. To me, the Trojans just don't seem all that inspired.
That spells trouble when you're going on the road to play a team on the upswing, which sounds a lot like Arizona. In Rich Rodriguez's first year, the Wildcats are rounding into form. Quarterback Matt Scott is rocking in the Spread-and-Shred and will pose the stiffest test yet for USC's underwhelming defense.
The Pick: Arizona 38, USC 33
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: USC 24, Arizona 18
Andy Coppens: USC 38, Arizona 27
Kevin McGuire: USC 42, Arizona 23
Michael Felder: USC 48, Arizona 27
Tom Perry: USC 56, Arizona 28
No. 2 Florida vs. No. 10 Georgia (at Jacksonville): Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Aaron Torres' Take: As crazy as this is to say, whoever wins Saturday will basically unofficially clinch the SEC East Championship. Florida's only remaining conference game is against Missouri at home, while Georgia faces off against Ole Miss at home and Auburn on the road, meaning that for all intents and purposes, the winner here should punch their ticket to Atlanta.
And looking at this objectively, the winner seems like it'll be Florida. There's something about this team in 2012, and it starts up front, and the ability to control the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Gators don't play the prettiest brand of football, but they get the job done when they absolutely need to.
They've done it against Texas A&M, LSU and South Carolina so far. And there's no reason to think they won't do the same Saturday in Jacksonville.
The Pick: Florida 21, Georgia 16
Everyone Else's Take:
Allen Kenney: Florida 17, Georgia 13
Andy Coppens: Georgia 27, Florida 21
Kevin McGuire: Georgia 27, Florida 26
Michael Felder: Florida 24, Georgia 13
Tom Perry: Florida 42, Georgia 17
No. 14 Texas Tech at No. 3 Kansas State: 3:30 PM, Saturday, Fox
Tom Perry's Take: The two teams that exposed West Virginia the past two weeks will now square off in a game that has huge ramifications in the Big 12 race. Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein has taken over as the clear-cut favorite to win the Heisman, but don't overlook what Seth Doege offers for Tech's offense. Both defenses are among the best in the league, so this game has all sorts of plot lines. The Red Raiders are coming off an emotional overtime win at TCU, while K-State seems to be on cruise control.
The Pick: Kansas State 38, Texas Tech 20
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Kansas State 34, Texas Tech 10
Allen Kenney: Texas Tech 31, Kansas State 27
Andy Coppens: Kansas State 31, Texas Tech 27
Kevin McGuire: Kansas State 34, Texas Tech 30
Michael Felder: Kansas State 44, Texas Tech 37
Duke at No. 11 Florida State: 3:30 p.m. ESPNU
Michael Felder's Take: Bowl eligible for the first time since 1994, the Blue Devils are riding a high of sorts. Don't expect that to continue against Florida State. Certainly, David Cutcliffe will have this team ready to play, but Florida State is not optioning in to being the next team to get embarrassed by Duke. After what happened to North Carolina and the way Virginia Tech got jumped on early, look for Jimbo Fisher to throw the kitchen sink at Duke early to prevent quick fireworks.
Without Chris Thompson the running load goes to James Wilder Jr. and Davonte Freeman. Both are sound rusher and, given Duke's deficiencies, expect heavy doses of the ground game to gobble up clock and wear down this Blue Devils defense. Duke is much improved and they have weapons, but Florida State is the superior squad, playing at home and they do not want to be the laughing stock of the league this year.
The Pick: Florida State 42 Duke 17
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Florida State 28, Duke 10
Allen Kenney: Florida State 52, Duke 6
Andy Coppens: Florida State 45, Duke 21
Kevin McGuire: Florida State 35, Duke 17
Tom Perry: Florida State 48, Duke 10
No. 9 Ohio State at Penn State: 5:30 p.m., ABC
Kevin McGuire's Take: Neither team is eligible for a postseason spot due to NCAA sanctions, but a division championship is still up for grabs in the Big Ten Leaders Division. When Ohio State travels to Penn State this weekend the winner will sit atop the division and control their own fate in what is essentially a meaningless division crown. But don't tell that to the players or coaching staff at either school.
The big question heading in to this game is what will Buckeyes sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller be able to do a week after being taken to a hospital following a big hit against Purdue. More importantly, if he gets his bell rung by Penn State's suffocating defense, how will he respond? this game should be a tough defensive battle, which might mean special teams become an issue. This plays to Ohio State's advantage, but Penn State's defense looks to be much tighter than Ohio State's right now, and that could ultimately be the big difference this weekend.
The Pick: Penn State 21, Ohio State 20
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Penn State 16, Ohio State 10
Allen Kenney: Ohio State 30, Penn State 28
Andy Coppens: Penn State 31, Ohio State 28
Michael Felder: Ohio State 30, Penn State 24
Tom Perry: Ohio State 37, Penn State 30
No. 22 Michigan vs. Nebraska, 8pm ESPN2
Andy Coppens' Take: This is quite simply the battle for who wants to control their own destiny to Indianapolis and it's a battle of who's QB will control the flow of this game. If either defense negates the other QB's running ability I give you the winner in this one.
Denard is Denard throwing the football, which is to say not very good, but Taylor Martinez has improved his ability to throw the football. All you need for that evidence is to watch the comeback he engineered over Northwestern last weekend. With this one at home in a raucous Memorial Stadium I think this is a hell of a close game, but I'm going to go with the better defense in this one and that's Michigan.
The Pick: Michigan 34, Nebraska 31
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Michigan 24, Nebraska 17
Allen Kenney: Michigan 24, Nebraska 17
Kevin McGuire: Nebraska 26, Michigan 17
Michael Felder: Nebraska 30, Michigan 27
Tom Perry: Michigan 38, Nebraska 34
No. 5 Notre Dame at No. 8 Oklahoma: Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ABC
Allen Kenney's Take: The national game of the week is going down in Norman as these two teams with national championship aspirations square off Saturday night.
The Fighting Irish are winning games behind a nasty front seven that has to be among the best in the country. A defensive line like the one ND boasts is the ultimate equalizer in football. ND's ability to get to Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones will go a long way towards determining the outcome.
Unfortunately for the Irish, however, they're catching the Sooners at a bad time. Oklahoma is clicking on both sides of the ball since the loss to Kansas State. Offensively, Jones is spreading the ball around to a wealth of talent at the skill positions, and coordinator Josh Heupel has shown greater confidence in the running game behind tailback Damien Williams and fullback Trey Millard. On defense, coordinator Mike Stoops has made tremendous strides in cleaning up the little mistakes that killed the Sooners a year ago.
This game will come down to ND's ability to handle Oklahoma's spread formations with three and four wide receivers. The Irish's patchwork secondary has yet to face a passing game of OU's caliber. ND won't be able to keep up, especially given OU's history in Norman.
The Pick: Oklahoma 31, Notre Dame 14
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Oklahoma 24, Notre Dame 12
Andy Coppens: Notre Dame 21, Oklahoma 17
Kevin McGuire: Notre Dame 24, Oklahoma 23
Michael Felder: Oklahoma 27, Notre Dame 17
Tom Perry: Oklahoma 42, Notre Dame 10
No. 13 Mississippi State at No. 1 Alabama: 8:30 p.m., ESPN
Kevin McGuire's Take: Mississippi State is up against a tough challenge this weekend on the road against what many consider clearly to be the team to beat this season. Despite a nice start by quarterback Tyler Wilson at Mississippi State, he will need to be nearly flawless and receive plenty of protection against Alabama's defense. Alabama likes to stomp on their opponents early so if Mississippi State falls behind early, Dan Mullen's squad could be in for a long night. Is there a chance Mississippi State can catch the Crimson Tide napping, looking ahead to next week's trip to LSU? Not likely, as long as Nick Saban is coaching.
The Pick: Alabama 37, Mississippi State 17
Everyone Else's Take:
Aaron Torres: Alabama 37, Mississippi State 13
Allen Kenney: Alabama 28, Mississippi State 10
Andy Coppens: Alabama 24, Mississippi State 13
Michael Felder: Alabama 24, Mississippi State 13
Tom Perry: Alabama 33, Mississippi State 13

Ortofon Quality
on 7/5/2007
I have been using the Ortofon Scratch styli since their initial release. Since that time, I have won needles from competitor brands and the competition's quality and durability do not come close to that of the Ortofon Scratch. I have used other models from the Ortofon family and have found that for Turntablism and rigorous club use, none of the others outlast the Scratch model. In my opinion, these are the best.

Taking care of leather footwear
People have some items of clothes that prefer greater than the rest perform. you will discover components enthusiasts who're experiencing and enjoying the process of buying ear-rings as well as necklaces, there are actually individuals who have several caps or are can't picture their own lifestyle with no nice hat. Among them, you can find individuals who enjoy good created footwear. Not regular sneakers, but the footwear, that are crafted from top quality components providing the feet uncompromised comfort and ease and are unbelievable durable. Designed sneakers lovers are those enchanting those who learn how to care for shoe cobbler and definately will try everything achievable before you take these to shoe repair. Strangely enough, you will discover parts which can be purchased only in boot repair areas or solely in brand name stores, so be careful together with your options when buying nice grafted shoes. Obviously, before selecting virtually any sneakers be sure to inquire if they've got some, a place wherein the event of requirement are likely to care for you buy the car. The stores will offer a place for bag fix and other type of fixing.
When you have picked to get a pleasant couple of natural leather footwear, make sure you are following the recommendations of leather-based protection. For instance, whenever you are walking with the rainfall, be sure to dry the sneakers in order that the wetness won't injury the natural leather. Airing out them, through not putting on for few days, might provide a longer life for your favored footwear. For those pair of shoes, which you aren't sporting that often you can test using a cedar shoetree to help, absorbing the wetness and looking after the design of the shoes. Enable your footwear dried out at the 70 degrees and of course away from the heather. No one is able you allow the natural leather shoes nearby the heat tank. If so, the natural leather shoes are likely to be dried up and turn into breakable, and of course, it will damage your own adhesives. One other good assistance is not to keep the shoes within the containers if not wearing them longer periods. It is a fact that extented storage space can result in materials degeneration particularly during humid climates. The last but not the least guidance isn't to utilize a fresh chemical item for cleaning your footwear without having truly screening it. Much better, do a pre-test over a little area before applying it towards the entire area.

Saint Buddy returns
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Saint Buddy, who finished third in the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap on March 6, returns from a two-month break in a $54,000 allowance race on turf at Hollywood Park on Wednesday.
was given the layoff by design, according to trainer Rafael Becerra. He says a return on turf is not an indication that Saint Buddy will be campaigned solely on that surface.
"I think he's good on both," he said.
Saint Buddy had a remarkable Santa Anita meeting for a colt who failed to win a stakes. He finished second in the Sir Beaufort Stakes in December, won an allowance race on turf in January, finished a troubled seventh in the Grade 2 Strub Stakes in February, and was beaten three lengths by Southern Image in the Big Cap.
Saint Buddy will be ridden by Tyler Baze, who has been aboard in all of the colt's eight starts.
Owned by Stan Fulton, Saint Buddy races from a stalking position.
"He's best from off the pace," Becerra said. "He's a good horse to ride."
Wednesday's allowance race is run over 1 1/16 miles on turf and lacks a confirmed front-runner in a field of eight.
The probable favorite is Royal Price, who ran behind Saint Buddy in the January allowance race but returned to win an allowance race on turf at Santa Anita on April 3.
Trainer Julio Canani starts Bayamo and Sequoian, who are making their first start of 2004. Bayamo won an allowance race on turf here last June, while Sequoian has not started since finishing third in an optional claimer at Santa Anita last October.
Trainer Neil Drysdale starts Grafton, who finished third in an allowance race on March 20. The winner of that race, Leroidesanimaux, returned to win Sunday's Inglewood Handicap.
Seattle Borders, the winner of the Grade 3 Baldwin Stakes on the hillside turf course at Santa Anita on Feb. 28, heads a $54,000 allowance race for 3-year-olds in the seventh race.
Trained by Bobby Frankel, Seattle Borders was second in the Grade 3 El Camino Real Derby over 1 1/16 miles on the main track at Golden Gate Fields on March 13 and third in the La Puente Stakes over a mile on turf at Santa Anita on April 10.
Seattle Borders has six rivals, including Unrivalled, who won the Pasadena Stakes at Santa Anita on March 17, and Terroplane, who was fourth in the La Puente as the favorite.

Did you know that the Filipino tradition known as "pagkakamay" or eating using bare hands instead of utensils benefits your whole body?
Here are some of the health benefits you can have if you adopt "pagkakamay":
– Makes You Stay Lean
Researchers concluded that eating with your hand will encourage a sense of fullness and satiety as compared to eating with utensils.
– Improves Your Digestion
The body has a bacteria called normal flora, and it is found on the palm and fingers of the hand. When you eat with your hands, the flora in the fingers is swallowed, making it beneficial for health and for various body parts such as the mouth, throat, and intestine, and it promotes healthy digestion in the gut.
– Prevents Overeating At Restaurants
The researchers discovered that middle-aged women who ate out and used their hands to pick on appetizers and dry food entrees at least three times a week appear to be more aware of their eating habits.
Share this to your friends and families so that they would know!

My car was hit from behind by commercial vehicle. The other driver was cited at the scene, but he provided me with false insurance information. I had to hunt down the owner of the company to get the correct info. I am without a vehicle and do not...
I cannot determine from your question to AVVO whether you were injured or not. If you still have not been provided a rental car and are having other issues with the insurance company you should ask to speak to a supervisor in the Claims Department of the at fault driver's insurance company. If you were not hurt and you do not wish to hire an attorney you should file a small claims court Complaint for your property damage and the cost of a rental car. If you were injured, I'd recommend retaining an attorney who handles only injury cases.See question
Both drivers were injured. The driver that was not insured was pregnant and lost the baby, she is stating as a result of the accident. What is the liability to the insured driver as related to the injuries of the uninsured driver?
Even though neither driver was issued a citation, the Ohio police report should reflect the investigating officer's findings of fault. It is very rare to not have such an indication on the report, at least in Georgia. It is not as unusual to have no citations issued. If the pregnant driver is not at fault and a doctor, ideally her treating doctor, is of the opinion that the collision caused her to lose the baby then she would have a viable claim against the other driver. In that case, she would need an Ohio attorney. I am assuming she is not represented by an attorney. If that is true, I would be able to recommend attorneys in Ohio, if you wish. Feel free to call or email me.See question
Can the claim be processes without that information if we have copies of all associated bills, or do they have to have access to medical records from the hospital?
If you are not represented by an attorney, the adjuster may indicate that he or she cannot go forward with processing your claim without the authorization form as a matter of policy. Having the authorization allows them to ensure they have a complete set of medical records and any medical bills that may have been overlooked.
However, this could also make them privy to ALL of your past medical information with that provider (which can be extensive if you have treated with that doctor or hospital in the past), possibly even privileged information if the authorization form is not properly limited.
I would strongly recommend that you consult legal counsel regarding your personal injury matter. You may be benefited by having an attorney speak on your behalf with the adjuster. An attorney would also request the records directly from the medical provider and then send them to the adjuster.See question

For the first time in the country, Citi's Platinum Select Credit Card was recently launched with a unique and interactive game. The game is designed around 'Virtual Shopping' using the new Citi Select Credit Card. This idea was conceived and implemented by Mediaedge:cia.
Consumers perceive credit cards to be generic and un-differentiated. Citi's new card has been designed to include a host of new and unique features. Therefore, the task was to ensure that the launch did not just pass off as just another card with a fancy name.
At the start of the game, a 'Player' is given a credit limit of Rs 5 lakh. The aim is to shop as much as one likes within the predetermined categories. The Player is prompted to use the various new features and accordingly calculate the reward points. The Player with the maximum points in 150 seconds wins gift vouchers.
This game has been installed on a 6ft x 4ft touch screen, interactive wall, claimed to be the first such concept in India. This activation is in progress at the Inorbit Mall and Oberoi Mall in Mumbai till mid-April 2009.
To monitor the number of responses, a camera has been installed on top of the screens. The camera detects the retina and records the number of people who have seen the game, how many have played it, male/female bifurcations, etc. This technology for monitoring eyeballs is reportedly being used for the first in India.

The post Have You Been Sucked Into the Warren Buffett Trap? appeared first on Net Net Hunter
This will probably be the most controversial article on this website.
Warren Buffett is a legend among value investors — and for good reason. His investment record is unmatched by any other investor who existed in the last 100 years. Value investors, understandably, have tried to emulate Buffett's approach to investing in order to snag a sliver of his returns. This typically means being glued to CNBC in the hopes of catching an interview, pouring over a mountain of books written about him, or combing through Warren Buffett's annual letters for nuggets of wisdom.
Unfortunately, trying to emulate Warren Buffett has led investors to adopt a less than ideal strategy.
Don't get me wrong. I like Warren Buffett — a lot. I think he has a lot to teach investors. I appreciate his frank communication style and his generosity as a financial teacher. I just don't think that his contemporary investment style, one based around buying very profitable large cap companies with sizeable moats at fair prices, is the best strategy for people like you and me. Blindly adopting it after watching TV interviews, reading a couple books about the man, or taking a peek at his past record constitutes falling into the Warren Buffett trap. If you're sitting on a portfolio of less than $10 million USD then — as those who have signed up to receive free net net stock ideas ultimately know — there are a lot better ways to make money in stocks.
Golden Nuggets From Warren Buffett
Now, I'm not trying to tell you that Warren Buffett is full of crap. Warren Buffett is incredibly intelligent with a far better investment record than I have (and, coincidentally, a lot more money, too) so I'm not trying to say that I know better than Buffett when it comes to investing. That would be silly. But, there is a large body of material out there in the form of interviews, his own articles, as well as his shareholder letters, and all of that has to be made sense of.
Let's start with the major pieces of advice that you should be taking from Warren Buffett. Buffett came from the Benjamin Graham school of investing and even today embraces most of its philosophy. Graham taught investors for years, for example, that a stock is just a fractional piece of ownership in a business. Its value is derived in large part from that business so a huge driving factor in earned capital gains when investing in stocks is tied to the performance of the underlying business. Warren Buffett still echoes that same principle. In his words:
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
I totally agree.
This also implies that a stock will fluctuate around it's intrinsic value, the business value that the stock represents. When taking the two investment principles together, it's pretty clear that volatility should be seen as a gift, something to take advantage of. This is exactly what Benjamin Graham's Mr. Market analogy highlights, an analogy Buffet has used many times in the past.
Warren Buffett's suggestion that you stay within your circle of competence is great. Having well defined boarders is really valuable when it comes to investing and will ultimately lead to better returns. Sticking to what you know means making fewer costly mistakes.
Speaking of mistakes, my favourite piece of advice Warren Buffett ever gave was his suggestion to follow two simple rules: 1. don't lose money, and 2. never forget rule number one. This piece of advice comes into my own investment strategy in a very powerful way, which I'll talk about more in a bit.
These are just a few nuggets of gold from Warren Buffett, and all are consistent with the principles that Benjamin Graham originally taught decades earlier.
The Warren Buffett Way
But, while Warren Buffett still embraces the fundamental philosophy of Benjamin Graham, he obviously employs a much different investment strategy than Benjamin Graham argued for years before. In fact, Warren Buffett's investment style has shifted considerably since the 1950s. Rather than look for classic Benjamin Graham value stocks as he did when he ran his investment partnership, Warren Buffett has turned to finding good businesses at decent prices. His stock selection process has become very simple and now consists of only 4 filters. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner in crime, sums it up this way:
We have to deal in things we're capable of understanding, and then, once we're over that filter, we have to have a business with some intrinsic characteristics that give it a durable competitive advantage, and then, of course, we would vastly prefer a management in place with a lot of integrity and talent, and then, finally, no matter how wonderful it is it's not worth an infinite price so we have to have a price that makes sense and gives a margin of safety given the natural vicissitudes of life.
I'm convinced that as those on the top of their game develop more skill and experience they are able to pack a lot more of their philosophy, tactics, or strategy, into their explanations, and use increasingly simple language to do so. Despite how simple Charlie Munger's description is, there's a lot packed into these principles that would have to be unwound for a thorough assessment of the Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger investment style. This is obviously beyond the scope of this article, but Munger's simple explanation goes a long way to identifying exactly what the pair do when selecting stocks.
Other soundbites and quotes fill in some of the missing pieces:
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Buffett has turned to buying exceptional companies over the cheap marginal firms he once bought. The focus is very much on buying high quality businesses at adequate prices — often a price far above what Benjamin Graham would have paid.
Our favorite holding period is forever.
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.
Warren Buffett also holds his investments for an exceptionally long time — far longer than the bulk of every other "long term" Wall Street investor. While some professional managers talk about holding on to stocks for months or years, Warren Buffett talks about holding onto his investments for decades or for life.
Warren Buffett's popularity has attracted many new investors to the value investing philosophy. These investors typically get their first experience with value investing through the lens of Warren Buffett's contemporary investment style. Now long time value practitioners are witnessing an ocean of new value investors who seem to think that the best strategy for success is to buy firms with deep moats at adequate prices and to hold them forever. Typically this means buying medium or large cap companies that have been in the spotlight for years — firms with market capitalizations that reach well beyond a billion dollars.
Unfortunately, this strategy is far from ideal, and could be outright dangerous.
Is Warren Buffett's Current Strategy Dangerous?
Well, not exactly. It really come down to who is trying to use Warren Buffett's current strategy.
As simple as the strategy sounds, actually employing it

New homes for local people at Dever Close, Micheldever
Press Release: 10/12/2012
Winchester Housing Trust has been working in partnership with Winchester City Council and Micheldever Parish Council to develop a rural housing exception site of 15 homes behind Dever Close.
The Trust has a long standing affiliation with the community of Micheldever since the early 1990's when 13 affordable housing units were built in Dever Close and with a further 4 added in 2003. Many local families from Micheldever have long since benefitted from affordable rent levels and the ability to part own a home which would have otherwise proved impossible in an expensive rural location.
Demand for affordable housing is still high through and there is an urgent need for housing in Micheldever to enable local people to remain within the Community. This need has been highlighted at well attended consultations and information evenings and the interest for this new site has been considerable for both shared equity and rented units.
The properties will only be made available to individuals with a local area connection ensuring they are allocated to the Community for which they are intended. Many families from this area find themselves living in separate parishes because the availability of affordable housing is limited and the price of private dwellings too high. One of the potential shared equity owners suggested that they
just want to come home.
With this in mind, WHT continued to work with The Genesis Design Studio to create a considerately designed development sympathetic to the rural location. In May 2011 the Planning Application was considered and approved by the WCC Planning Development Control Committee subject to formal acquisition of the land by WHT and a Section 106 agreement. That process is now complete and we are delighted this valuable affordable housing development is finally underway. Drew Smith who has extensive experience with rural housing schemes such as this will be developing the site with completion anticipated in December 2013.
As part of the scheme Winchester City Council will be acquiring 5 of the affordable rented units for their New Homes Delivery programme. These houses will be the first new Council houses to be built since the 1980's and will be a vital asset to local people currently on the housing register,
Cllr Ian Tait, Portfolio Holder for New Homes Delivery said
I am delighted that we have the first five new Council homes being built in the district. This is an excellent partnership scheme that will benefit many local people who cannot currently live in their local area. This is the start of an exciting new time for Council homes and we are working to extend this good work across other parts of the District.
Leanne Smith Chief Executive of Winchester Housing Trust said
I am grateful to everyone who has helped bring this project to development stage. Particular thanks go to Winchester City Council and Micheldever Parish Council for their ongoing support on this exciting and much needed affordable housing project.

Early Childhood
Hello everybody! We hope you've had a terrific weekend. The end of the school year is approaching quickly and our little friends are getting so excited about summer vacations; we've been talking about our plans for this coming summer and we've heard some great plans so far.
We would like to tell you that even though school is almost over our students are working as hard as the beginning of the school year, we are so proud of them. This past week we had a couple of dinosaur's experiments done in the classroom; we are observing a couple of dinosaurs growing in water and these were the most exciting works of the week for us! We also added a dinosaur digging work, a hammering, and a button pattern work in our practical life shelves. Some of our friends are working on making sight words booklets and some others are enjoying working with on the new art lessons including making a dinosaur's collage egg. On Wednesday we will are planning on having a special dinosaur snack; we will make a dinosaur with special ingredients and we hope it will taste yummy, wish us luck.
This week we will review some of the works in the classroom; we will go over several of the sensorial works, continents, and initial sounds with all the students. Also during this week we will continue talking about Colombia and we will have a food tasting event this coming Tuesday; we would like to thank Mrs. Rodriguez for organizing this special event and to all the parents and teachers who will bring a dish for the students to taste, thanks a lot!

The deepest cuts are in Lower 48, where capital investment has halved in 2016-17, falling by US$125 billion since 2014. The Middle East has generally been less impacted - with no drop in Saudi Arabian investments in 2016/17.

Bonaventure Cemetery was turned into a set again - complete with camermen and lighting technicians - as a backdrop to another homicide.
But this time, producers hope to catch a killer by telling the story.
On Tuesday, "America's Most Wanted" filmed scenes in the cemetery and at a Gum Branch farm - to assist the Liberty County Sheriff's Office catch a man suspected of slaying his parents in 2004.
Authorities have been searching the last 16 months for 35-year-old Jason Howard. He is wanted in connection with the shooting deaths of Jewel Cleveland, 83, and his wife, 62-year-old Mildred.
Police hope their search will get a boost Saturday night when an estimated 6 to 10 million viewers across the U.S., Mexico and Canada see Howard's face on television.
"Tonight we journey into the garden of good and evil," John Walsh, the show's host, said Tuesday, standing before a towering statue near the shores of the Wilmington River.
Liberty County Chief Deputy Keith Moran contacted the show's producers after local law enforcement exhausted its leads, he said.
Walsh saw Moran's letter and felt compelled to tell the story of the Clevelands' death. The show turns down about 100 such requests a week, according to Walsh.
"It's a mother that never gave up on her son and it cost her her life," Walsh said between takes at Bonaventure. "The step-father was a war hero who let Howard into his house, despite predicting that something would happen."
The Clevelands were found shot, wrapped in a tarp and buried in a shed behind their Gum Branch home in June last year.
Walsh was also struck by the work of a former Richmond Hill K-9, who alerted law enforcement to the bodies. Walsh had worked alongside the dog, Molly, at Ground Zero after Sept. 11 - a fact he learned this week while in Georgia.
The Clevelands were last seen alive on March 31, 2004 at a Reidsville doctor's office. Their van was later found at the Greyhound bus station in Savannah.
One detail stuck out to the show's staff: Howard reportedly mailed $400 and his house key to a friend with instructions to feed the family's dog, after March 31.
Mildred Cleveland was a retired school teacher who spent her final years caring for her sick husband. A stroke had confined Jewel Cleveland, a World War II veteran, to a wheelchair.
Investigators have not released a motive for the killings.
"I think this guy (Howard) is capable of anything. He's mentally ill and dangerous," Walsh said.
"This was a small police department that doesn't have the resources to find him. This is going go make the world such a smaller place for Jason."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I owe more on my house than it is worth. I would like to keep the house, the law group I'm working with say I can keep the house. Is this true?
Your title and posting are two different questions. As to your first question, if you file Chapter 7, you can keep the home if you are current on the mortgage when you file, and if you continue to pay. In Chapter 7, you would have to pay off the HELOC to keep the home.
If the value of the home is less than the first mortgage, you may be able to file Chapter 13 and "strip" off the HELOC so that you are not liable for paying them.
As to your second question, it does not matter if you owe more than the house is worth when it comes to keeping the home. There are many, many considerations to take into account in deciding which chapter to file, whether you can keep the home, and whether you can strip off
the second/HELOC. Talk in depth with your attorney about this. Good luck.

You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding the specifics of your situation. JC Law Group is a debt relief agency. We help people find relief by filing bankruptcy in California under the Bankruptcy CodeAsk a similar question
You can keep the house if you can afford to pay for it.
That's because a Chapter 7 order of discharge will only discharge your personal liability for the home equity loan. The home equity loan will remain secured by your house. So if you file Chapter 7, but you're not current with the home equity loan and/or you can't keep up with the payments, then the lender may pursue a Motion for Relief from Stay and obtain a Court order that would allow the lender to go ahead with a foreclosure sale.
The lender could also wait until the Chapter 7 is over, and still sell your house at a foreclosure sale.
So if want you really mean to ask is whether you can get rid of the home equity loan, then you need to consult with your counsel about the possibility of filing Chapter 13, instead of Chapter 7, with a Motion to Value Collateral (aka "lien stripping") to get rid of the home equity loan.Ask a similar question
If your house is worth less then the first mortgage then you can get rid of a second mortgage. You can always choose to keep the property even if it is upside down but you will have to remain current with all secured debts (unless the circumstance I described earlier applies) and you will have to cure the arrears.Ask a similar question
You can only discharge your personal obligation with respect to the home equity loan. However, the lien will remain on the property. If you want to keep the property you will need to continue paying the home equity loan. You may want to try to modify the loan or settle it. You should speak with an attorney about your specific options. Good luck.

I never write stories with the ending in mind, because I want the story to develop a life of its own, and I want the resolution of the dilemma to surprise me. Sometimes I really get myself stuck this way. This story spun completely out of control and surprised me throughout, so it's one of my favorites.
— Bill Watterson, describing the storyline in which Calvin duplicates himself, The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book
I do not hold myself responsible for any of the opinions expressed by the characters in my book.
— Lewis Carroll, in the preface to Sylvie and Bruno.
Nostalgia Critic: You're the author! Tell me what to do!
Doug Walker: You're the character! Tell me what to write!
Doug Walker: You're the character! Tell me what to write!
That's how writing works the vast majority of the time. You give these characters life and then they tell you what they want to do.
— Bryan Konietzko on the finale of The Legend of Korra
I have never demanded of a set of characters that they do things my way. On the contrary, I want them to do things their way. In some instances, the outcome is what I visualized. In most, however, its something I never expected.
Don't blame me. I'm but a lowly instrument to the muses.
—Suzanne, Orange Is the New Black

Star Wars Celebration - Anaheim, California - April 16th-19th, 2015
Highlighted by both the Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Battlefront trailers, Star Wars Celebration Anaheim was one of the most memorable events for the franchise. Among all the excitement of future content, some BioWare and SWTOR specialists - including Eric Munsco, Charles Boyd and Jesse Sky - were on hand for the SWTOR Cantina Tour event. While most of what they said was what we had already seen from PTS patches or notes from Dulfy, here's what they confirmed during the livestream.
1. Patch 3.2 - The new story content, intended to serve as an epilogue for the events of Shadow of Revan, has been confirmed and officially named "Rise of the Emperor." The devs showed content already seen through PTS content patches and marked it up as a "trailer."
- New Planet: Ziost - Used primarily as the center of Rise of the Emperor content, Ziost will serve as an area for daily missions, most likely for a new branch of reputation items.
- Outfit Designed - It'll be added as a means of allowing players to preview lots of different armor options and switch out mods to and from currently moddable items. In addition, green and blue items (non-modifiable ones) are also included, leaving room for even more items to go through and preview.
2. "Epic Story XP Boost" - BioWare had re-branded the 12x Story Mission Experience boost as the "Epic Story Boost," and is set to return around May 4th in time for Star Wars Day. It will be available for all subscribers (whether players need to have an active subscription by May 4th is currently unknown), and currently does not have an end date, so it's set to continue for a long time yet.
3. May the Fourth Reward - In addition to the Epic Story boost, players who are subscribed by the 4th will also receive an exclusive M4-1S astromech droid pet.
Flash Drive Files
All who actually attended the event were given a thumbnail drive with exclusive files...files that, of course, have already made their way onto the internet. Here's the basic rundown:
- A teaser image, supposedly of content that might be released after the launch of Rise of the Emperor
- A community code that, when applied, will unlock a small two-item pack containing an exclusive mount and one other unique item. The second item can be one of several different things - here are a few that have been found already
- Rarely-seen dye modules
- XP Boost (type and duration are unconfirmed)
- SP-RO Power Droid pet
- Carbonite Chamber Regeneration Item (formerly a Cartel Market exclusive)
- First Grand Statue of Mandalore centerpiece decoration
- In addition to the pack, users who apply the code to their account are allowed to distribute a second code that can be used by 5 other players for the same benefits.

Slender Loris
Slender Loris are these cute, adorable animals that have big eyes that gives them excellent night vision to hunt for slugs and insects. The slender loris is somewhat like a monkey slender loris-big eyes, thin arms and legs, swing/grab onto the branches, they eat leaves, insects,bananas, flowers and they also are excellent climbers. Monkeys-thin arms and legs, swings/grabs onto the branches, amazing at climbing and they eat leaves, bananas and flowers. They have a slow rate of metabolism that is a chemical that makes/produces energy which allows them to digest things that may not be eaten by other animals like the gum of trees.
They live in the rain forests because 1-there are trees/sticks to grab on or to swing on 2-they eat insect, slugs and flowers 3-they have extremely thin legs and arms to twist through the branches without letting their pray know that a predator is near. Their climate tempature reaches 77 degrees and never drops below 64 degrees. Their climate is very wet the rainforest is also made up of moss, shrubs, trees, grass, flowers, rocks, heathly soil and waterfalls. There are mountains and hills in the rainforest there is also a lot of water because of the waterfalls. They are normally found in south wet lands in the south west of Africa and Australia, they also live in the south of Asia in the rain forests.
The adaptations that help the slender loris survive are young leaves, shoots, trees, nestlings, eggs, insects, slugs and plants they help them survive by eating and sleeping.
Their characteristics are a small little adorable animal that has super thin arms and legs to give them excellent climbing skills, they also have huge eyes to see better at night to hunt insects at night. They weigh about 10.5-12 ounces and they only grow up to be about 6-10 inches. Their life span is about 12-25 years and they rub urine on themselves because they eat poison beetles they run it on themselves to make the sting/pain from the poison hurt less or go away for a little while.
The trees breaking into pieces leads to the death for many large canopy trees. Canopy trees are the most important thing in the rainforest because the canopy provides fruits and shelter for many animals. The storms/thunder and lightning that causes the canopy to break into pieces and that puts animals in danger.

Move: Birds, squirrels, chipmunks and bugs/insects

Macabre Sculptures by Maria Rubinke
Danish artist Maria Rubinke creates traditional porcelain sculptures, but in a twisted manner. Her sculptural works portrait children in gruesome situations. A combination of cute and gore. Although criticized by many, Maria Rubinke has her unique art style.
The gloomy Art of Laurie lipton
Laurie Lipton was inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School. She tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 17th century Dutch Masters and failed. When traveling around Europe as a student, she began developing her very own peculiar drawing technique building up tone with thousands of fine cross-hatching lines like an egg tempera painting. "It's an insane way to draw", she says, "but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort".

Bengaluru: Noted Bollywood lyricist and Urdu poet Javed Akhtar and Piyush Mishra are all set to enthrall poetry lovers by rendering poems in the first-ever Bengaluru Poetry Festival beginning tomorrow.
"The participation of Javed Sahab is confirmed. He is attending the first-ever BPF tomorrow. He and poet Piyush Mishra are going to delight poetry lovers in the city… there's no doubt about it," co-founder of Atta Galatta and one of the organisers of BPF, Subodh Shankar told PTI here.
The two-day festival will culminate on August 7 and Goa-based poet Manohar Shetty is also participating in it, he said.The festival will witness 34 sessions and a total of 67 artistes including poets, musicians and performers are taking part, Shankar said.
"We wanted to conduct the festival at a small scale, but we are surprised that a large number of artistes have taken interest to participate," he said.
To a query, Shankar said the organisers were keen on providing a platform for poets, which they normally don't get as prose writers do.
"At Atta Galatta, every month we see many poets performing and voicing their poems, but they go unrecognised in large perspective. Hence, we thought of giving poets a platform – that was the inspiration behind conducting such a festival," Shankar said.
The festival will provide a platform for poets in English, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Maithili and many other languages, he said.
Artistes from city-based groups like 'Airplane Poetry Movement', 'Let Poetry Be' and 'Poetry At The Park', which encourage local community of poets, are also expected to showcase their talent, Shankar said.
Asked what he thought was the difference between poetry and prose, he said "a poem stays on for long or sometimes forever, but prose doesn't, and that's the beauty of poetry.
"Also, listening to prose makes you feel drowsy, but listening to poetry makes your hair stand up to the emotions captured in tender words, written in a lyrical and rhyming forms," he added.

Jackman sets sights on Bollywood
Hollywood heartthrob Hugh Jackman says he is keen to work in Bollywood - and gyrated to a song-and-dance sequence with Indian megastar Shah Rukh Khan to prove it.
The Australian-born actor danced with Khan in Mumbai at the close of Asia's largest entertainment convention, where they shared centre stage with Bollywood producer Karan Johar.
Jackman, star of the X-Men movies, said that while few Americans may have seen a Bollywood film, "they all know about your film industry".
"Indian cinema is growing every year. I hope to do a Bollywood movie some day," Jackman told a packed audience.
Jackman and Khan said that India's film industry had changed in recent years, with large foreign film studios such as Disney, Paramount, Fox and Warner distributing and producing films in India.
"Movies like Monsoon Wedding and Oscar-winner Slumdog Millionaire have enhanced India's image further," said Jackman, who is touring India with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
News Corp top executive James Murdoch, who also attended the conference on Wednesday, called India's media industry a "sleeping tiger" as a report forecast the sector would double its revenues to nearly $30 billion by 2015.
The report by consultancy firm KPMG said India's media and entertainment industry grew 11 per cent in 2010 to post revenues of 652 billion rupees ($14.5 billion).
India's media industry has bounced back from the global financial downturn but experts say foreign investment in radio, direct-to-home and print media companies is relatively low, compared with developed countries.
