ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the pile of pages, quotes and assorted scribbles in what is a still-growing stack of notebooks regarding the life and times of Broncos linebacker Von Miller, there is Miller's first public response to this summer's news that he was facing a suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The more you look at it, with each passing week since, the more there is to see.
And with each additional warrant, arrest, traffic violation or bombshell like Sunday's revelation from ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen that Miller tried to influence the collector in the drug test that resulted in his suspension, the more you have to wonder Miller's mindset when he typed the words. With reports of his suspension having arrived as the Broncos were set to open training camp in July, Miller posted this on Twitter:
"Seeing reports abt 4 game susp. I know I did nothing wrong. I'm sure this'll be resolved fairly. Disapp. Broncos have 2 open camp like this."
At best, it looks like a well-rehearsed denial in which he was trying to convince people he couldn't have possibly have done it. At worst, it now looks like misplaced ego, especially if those charged with managing his affairs gave him the go-ahead to push the button. According to many close to him and the Broncos, Miller hasn't said much since he was advised not to by the NFL Players Association and his agents at Athletes First.
He's been told to essentially hide in plain sight as he goes about his business in the Broncos' Dove Valley complex. So in what will almost certainly serve as a tidy case study in how not to handle crisis management in the years ahead, Miller has offered no public comment to what was officially a six-game suspension, a suspension he did not challenge after so vigorously saying he didn't deserve it, or any of the growing list of incidents/issues/problems that have come to light since.
Fine. It's a person's inalienable right to manage his business in any way he sees fit within the rules for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but all involved with trying to help Miller regain his balance should realize what is already documented, in both county courthouses and in the public domain, is light-years down the road from "I know I did nothing wrong."
Many experts in the art of crisis management, whether it be on a personal or corporate level, say it's important to "get ahead of the story" or "bleed, don't hemorrhage." And what that means is put somebody's posterior in a chair, somebody who had decision-making power over the events that have already transpired, and fess up.
Deal with it. Look people in the eye and face down your problems. The road to the good stuff -- to recovery, redemption, normalcy -- doesn't usually begin until you admit to the rest. And that's true whether you're somebody's sports drink pitchman or not.
Sure, it's Miller's right not to do any of that and there is a sliver of understanding in that as well. Many people who know him say he feels under siege, that he doesn't quite understand how all of this got away from him and that he feels like people are "piling on." He's scared, naïve, immature, confused -- these are all words folks are using to describe the immensely talented Miller.
Even the Broncos have been swept into it at times. There was, at first, a pervasive attitude the suspension would be reduced or even tossed aside, that anything to the contrary was "erroneous," despite the evidence available to refute that. Then there was more than a little hackles-up attitude about repeated stories about Miller's numerous traffic violations, including when he was cited earlier this month for speeding while driving with a suspended license, with his father in the car, as Miller returned from a meeting with the NFLPA to plan his post-suspension life.
Something on the order of, hey, they're just traffic tickets.
But right from the start, it's always been "it's just" something when it comes to Miller.
They're just traffic tickets. Or it's just marijuana. Or it's just growing up.
Well, now the pile is what it is. And at some point, whether Miller wants to or not, whether those around him who consider themselves to be helping him want to or not, Miller is going to have to answer for it.
Because those rules are the same for everybody.

About Land Rover BAR
Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR) was launched on June 10th 2014 in the presence of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge. The team was conceived by four times Olympic gold medalist and 34th America's Cup winner, Sir Ben Ainslie, with the long-term aim of challenging for Britain and bringing the America's Cup back home to where it all began in 1851. Ben has developed and will lead a British entry capable of winning the prestigious trophy, something Britain has so far never managed to achieve.
Land Rover BAR is a commercial sporting team, with a number of individual private investors alongside corporate partners. The team is made up of some of the best British and international sailors, designers, builders and racing support.
Sports teams represent key role models in society. This privileged position is not taken for granted at Land Rover BAR. The team believe our influence should extend far beyond the race course, and have put sustainability at the heart of operations since launching the team with Exclusive Sustainability Partner 11th Hour Racing in 2014.
The team have built a new headquarters in the centre of Portsmouth, the 74,000 sq ft. building houses all the team's activities, and will welcome the public into its Tech Deck education centre.
The 1851 Trust is the team's official charity, and HRH The Duchess of Cambridge is its Royal Patron.
Portsmouth hosted two Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series events, one in each of July 2015 and 2016. Almost four hundred thousand spectators enjoyed the action in Land Rover Bar's home port, cheering the home team to back-to-back victories.
It has been an extraordinary season, with consistency the key. In nine events, the team has only been off the podium twice, recording four event wins (Portsmouth x 2, Oman and Fukuoka), bolstered by a second (Chicago) and two third places (Gothenburg and Toulon). The World Series win meant that the team will took two vital bonus points into the America's Cup Qualifiers in Bermuda.
The team's challenge to win the 35th America's Cup came to an end on the 8th June at the Louis Vuitton America's Cup Playoff Semi-Finals in Bermuda after a hard fought battle against Emirates Team New Zealand, who later went on to win the 35th America's 7-1 against ORACLE Team USA.

COLOMBO: India recorded a convincing seven-wicket triumph after bowling out Pakistan for a paltry total of 67 and qualified for the final of ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier 2017 here at P Sara Oval on Sunday.
Pakistan were dismissed for 67 in 43.4 overs after being asked to bat by India in overcast conditions.
India reached 70 for three in 22.3 overs to secure their place in the final, to be played against South Africa Women at the same venue on February 21.
The win made India the only undefeated team in the tournament.
Pakistan still managed to qualify for the ICC Women's World Cup in England in June.
Pakistan were bowled out for less than 100 for the first time since March 2014.
Ekta Bisht's career-best figures of 8-5 and Veda Krishnamurthy's two excellent catches at first slip underlined the gap between the two sides in this format. Shikha Pandey was the first to strike in the seventh over when Nahida Khan cut her straight to Bisht at point. She struck in her next over again when Javeria Khan, the tournament's highest run-getter, edged an incoming ball that swung away just enough. Veda anticipated well to take a couple of steps forward and complete a two-handed catch in front of her.
India could have had their third wicket in the Power Play had either Devika Vaidya or Mansi Joshi held on to chances offered by Ayesha Zafar in the space of three balls. But Zafar wasted her luck to be lbw off Bisht's first ball of the match in the 11th over.
Rested against Bangladesh Women, Bisht started with an arm ball that Zafar played down the wrong line, to be the left-arm spinner's 50th ODI wicket.
Bisht, only the ninth Indian to achieve the feat, then went past the tally of Purnima Rau, India's coach, when Nain Abidi stepped down the track to play against the turn. She was left stranded as Sushma Verma completed an easy stumping.
Deepti Sharma's drift then deceived Bismah Maroof, who got a faint under-edge while playing a sweep, and Vaidya came from around the wicket to have Aliya Riaz bowled.
Then came the catch of the match. A non-committal Sana Mir cut Bisht only for Veda to take a stunning one-handed catch to her left at slip on the second attempt.
Rabiya Shah became Bisht's fourth wicket when Mona Meshram took an easy catch at second slip. Sadia Yousuf and Nashra Sandhu took Pakistan past 57.
Harmanpreet Kaur then brought herself on and needed just four balls to end Pakistan's resistance.
Except for a couple of short balls by the pacers that had been dispatched to the boundary early in the piece, India dominated proceedings completely, bowling a total of 18 maiden overs.
Bisht was particularly ruthless in her last five overs in which she conceded no run and picked up three wickets.
Meshram square cut Mir to the fence off the first ball of India's innings to get the chase going. Meshram and Vaidya fell in the space of 13 runs as India went to lunch at 23 for two in 7.5 overs.
After the break, Kaur produced the shot of the match when she pulled left-arm spinner Sandhu for a six over midwicket and followed that up with a straight four.
She was caught at cover for 24 before Deepti, who remained unbeaten on 29, and Veda completed India's 12th ODI win on the trot.

Hello fellow crafters. Just wanted to let you know that I have added a new item to my Etsy shop, eCrossStitchPatterns.
My latest item is a cross stitch pattern that I designed for Mother's Day. This one is relatively easy. It took me about 3 hours to complete (with many interruptions as usual!) I also include a bonus design in this one. I asked my family for feedback on the pattern and we disagreed with the design of the hearts so I've included both versions.
a title above
The pattern fits into a 5″ x 7″ picture frame, uses 6 colors, and includes cross stitches and back stitches.
Have a look!
If you can, I would appreciate a quick "like" or "share" on Facebook. THANK YOU!

Are you preparing your tables before openning them? You may want to try to set the prepare to true before openning. Remember you will need to update your statistics unless your database system does it automatically. The other things you can do is avoid using * in your select. Specifiy the fields you want to use. One last thing is how is your Connection doing its reads. You may want to set it to Dirty Read. I hope this helps.

YES! I live in Thailand and am still able to vote on an absentee ballot. So many people have suffered to give every American citizen the right to vote - why wouldn't someone take advantage of that privileged?
It's odd to me that one of the things publicized and promoted on the news is when due to our forces being in Iraq, citizens now have the right to vote - why would we go to another country to offer that great privilege when we wouldn't vote on our own soil?
I hope everyone votes...even if they don't like the candidates.No one will be perfect 100% and I may not even agree with who others are voting for, but I hope everyone expresses their right to do so....even if they live in foreign countries.
Yes. I am not pleased with my choices...Yet again! I am voting hoping to minimize the damage.
The real decisions are made in the primaries. I wish more people would take them seriously. Most candidates who come anywhere close to my way of thinking have already lost.
I am going to vote, this is a huge election. There are many open seats to fill. Governor, Senate, Judges, etc... These are very important offices. I'd rather stay home and not vote, I've had enough voting lately. However, I do know how important it is to vote, so I will exercise my right. I do want to set an example for my children. I feel strong about my candidates, and they can't win if I don't vote.

text: Ditzy Doo has many responsibilities -- delivering mail, supporting her community, and even fighting evil as the Bearer of the Element of Kindness and a Knight of the Realm to boot. None of these, however, are as important to her as her primary job of raising her daughter Dinky. Through good times and bad, Ditzy has always been there for her daughter, and she works tirelessly to make sure that Dinky grows up in a happy, healthy, and loving environment. Unfortunately, nopony is perfect, and after a freak accident almost results in disaster, Ditzy becomes even more protective of her daughter. When Dinky subsequently becomes eligible for a fantastic opportunity, the foal is excited, but Ditzy is so worried that her daughter will get hurt that she finds herself wishing Dinky would pass it up. Ditzy must choose, then, between keeping her daughter as safe as possible... and allowing her to grow. Lunaverse story.

Tissues have Kleenex. Internet search engines have Google. Lip balm has ChapStick. For tabletop role-playing games, the Big Brand is Dungeons & Dragons. So you've heard about it. You've always thought it was a little dorky, but you were interested so you wanted to give it a chance. You read The Lord of the Rings, you bought a die with more than six sides, and maybe you watched that Vin Diesel video.
But something's just not clicking with you. Elves and magic aren't your thing. If you're going to sit around with a bunch of adults to play pretend, you're going to shoot the pretend gun in your pretend hand. Or you're going to be the one that dies first in the horror movie. Or you just want an imaginary friend again. Well, fret not. The following is a list of game systems that I like running to when I want a break from d20s and dungeon crawling.
Apocalypse World
Evoking the wastelands of Mad Max and Tank Girl alike, Apocalypse World is your go-to for living out your post-societal fantasies. Instead of a character sheet, you have playbooks that list the unique abilities of your character. What caused the apocalypse, you ask? That's up to you and your players. With the second edition of the game successfully crowdfunded, you can get the first edition free if you enter your e-mail on the page linked above.
I also want to mention that D. Vincent Baker's Apocalypse system is a thing of beauty. One of the problems I have with D&D is the binary outcome mechanic. Either you succeed at the thing, or you fail at the thing. Apocalypse World keeps it interesting. When you roll, generally one of three things happens. You can either succeed, win a partial success with consequences, or fail and make things worse for you and your party. It keeps the story interesting in the way "sorry, Bill, you just don't pick the lock" doesn't.
If you want a take on D&D Powered by the Apocalypse, then you should also check out Dungeon World.
Monsters and Other Childish Things
Monsters and Other Childish Things (MaOCT) is Arc Dream's game about children whose imaginary friends can and will take a bite out of you. Role-playing as a child can be an interesting experience. We were all there once (arguably, some of us still are), but seeing it through the eyes of an adult can be dark territory indeed. Find the right group for this, or throw seriousness out the window and run this game as Pokemon.
The One Roll Engine (ORE), which is the system MaOCT operates on, might need some getting used to if D&D is your launching point. You roll a set number of d10s (called a pool here), and instead of just hoping for a big number, you're looking for matching sets. Two twos, four fives, or seven tens, as an example.
ORE is also the ruleset behind this game about being superheroes, this game about being in a Raymond Chandler novel, and this game about being Game of Thrones.
The Quiet Year
Yes, we're back to maps again. Avery McDaldno's game about drawing a map sees role-playing games in a new light. You and your group don't have individual characters. There is no Dungeon Master. Instead, you represent a community of survivors as a whole living out their last, quiet year before the arrival of the Frost Shepherds. Each player adds something to the map, and as the weeks progress, a story emerges.
We're getting into indie publisher territory with this game. The weeks of the year are represented by a pack of cards, which is both ingenious on McDaldno's part and eerily convenient. Each card is associated with events that affect the game world. They can be good, or bad, or most interesting of all, present the player that drew it with a choice.
I'd like to publicly confess something here. Yes, here, tucked away in the eleventh paragraph. I'm a sucker for action movies. Jackie Chan, Who Am I?, Van Damme, Bloodsport, Schwarzenegger, The Expendables, you name it, I'll watch it. I still get a little teary from the speech at the end of Rocky IV. I'd look up to these heroes when I was a not-so-little-around-the-middle kid, and I'd dream about kicking henchman butt all over a ladder factory. So Daniel Bayn, the seven year old in me (nay, the seven year old in all of us) thanks you for writing Wushu.
A major selling point of this game, apart from being freely available, is its interesting dice mechanic. The game is played with your regular, everyday six-sided die, and your roll is influenced by how well you describe your character's actions. So pop in that Steven Seagal DVD and start stealing some moves.
Ah, Fiasco. The darling of the role-playing game indie market, and with good reason. I've used it to introduce newcomers to the hobby, as a lesson in improvisation, and as a tool for writing fiction. To oversimplify the game, you and your group act out your own movie. If you're a fan of movies like Fargo, Bad Santa, or even Weekend at Bernie's, and you like your protagonists with big dreams and a severe lack of forethought, you should give Fiasco a try. Your movie night isn't restricted to Coen-penned films either. There are playsets reminiscent of Titanic, Anchorman, and, yes, even D&D. Those are playsets off the official site. There are a slew of them made by the community.
But how does it work? Well, playsets like the ones I've linked to provide a framework for your game. They broadly state what kind of characters your group is going to play, and what locations, objects, and motivations are important to the story. These are rolled and assigned randomly. Then together, the players elaborate on who or what exactly these characters and motivations are. Then the house lights go down, the management tells you to turn off your cell phone, and you jump in.
Call of Cthulhu
Call of Cthulhu (CoC), not to be confused with its Lovecraft story namesake, is the D&D of horror role-playing games. In fact, the first incarnation of the game, written by Sandy Petersen, was published in 1981. This was just four years after role-players first started rolling up fighting-men and magic-users. I've used the game to run cosmic horror a la Lovecraft (or August Derleth, or Thomas Ligotti, or Laird Barron if you're looking to expand your reading list). I've also used it for your standard zombie apocalypse scenario, your by-the-numbers slasher flick, and, of course, Twin Peaks.
Now to the nitty-gritty. CoC uses percentile dice, which is a fancy way of saying two d10s. Your character has certain values in their skills, and if you want to succeed in a task, you have to roll under that value. That perfect 1 or that disastrous 100 may be rarer to come by than the 1 or 20 in a Dungeons & Dragons game, but that make their appearances all the more memorable. One of your character's stats is Sanity, and if you lose too much of that, say goodbye to your character's mind and say hello to a fresh character sheet.

Gang member is jailed after posting pictures of cash and drugs on Facebook
AN ARMED robber who boasted on Facebook about his gangland lifestyle has been jailed for nine-and-a-half years.
Jordan Sim-Mutch,24, worked as a metal worker
Jordan Sim-Mutch put up a picture of a mountain of ill?gotten cash and another of a tray of cannabis plus stolen items including a watch and mobile phones.
Another snap showed him wearing gloves as if ready for a robbery in the back of a luxury car.
And this week, just before he was jailed for his crimes, friends posted a picture of him in the dock, saying "Love you Jord" despite laws prohibiting photography in court.
Sim-Mutch, 24, was the leader of a gang that carried out a string of terrifying armed raids to pay for their cannabis addiction.
The thugs stole car keys from burgled houses and used the vehicles in hold-ups on companies.
They were armed with bricks, baseball bats, meat cleavers, axes and imitation firearms.
Jordan Sim-Mutch posted pictures of cash and drugs as well as stolen items onto Facebook
Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester heard how the group were involved in 29 robberies and burglaries across Stockport, stealing cash and thousands of pounds of cigarettes.
They were caught in November 2013 but were granted bail and went straight back to crime, carrying out their raids in daytime to honour their curfews because they were all electronically tagged.
Metal worker Sim-Mutch pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob, conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to steal and conspiracy to possess an imitation firearm.
Explaining why he got involved, Sim-Mutch told his barrister: "Well, I'm just a big daft lad, aren't I?"
Five others in the gang, all from Stockport, admitted conspiracy to rob and were sentenced to terms from eightand- a-half to three years.

Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month - not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the world's first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.

Romanian is a neo-Latin language, representing the Daco-Romanian branch of the Romanian dialects. It is derived from Vulgar Latin and it has preserved many similar grammatical structures from Latin. Over time, Romanian came in contact with many foreign influences such as Slavic, Hungarian Turkish and others.
A little taster of the grammar
Romanian has 3 grammatical genders and many endings for nouns. Some verbs in the present tense have verbal suffixes as well as the person endings to mark the various person-speakers. The adjectives have to agree in gender and number with the nouns accompanied. Many adjectives are irregular. Prepositions identify the correct case to be used after them. There are some phonetical changes that occur in words when they are being declined or conjugated.
When learning Romanian
It is advisable to keep a vocabulary book handy when learning so you can add your new words there and organise them on topics or releveance.
It is also good to learn the plural of nouns for the new words as they tend to be irregular and hard to guess at times.
Listening to as much Romanian as you can on internet or by watching films, and of course, when in Romania will help you with getting the accent, the right intonation and improving your pronuciation.
You do not always have to unserstand what you hear, especially in the beginning, but exposure to the language is essential in learning and training your hearing.

"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."
"You need the mirror because you've got no idea where your mouth is, ... It begins about an inch lower than where you usually aim for."
"My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist."
"When kids hit 1 year old, it's like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.'"
"The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

|Costa Rica Canopy Through the rainforest
|| Print |
A growing number of tours let visitors explore the rain forest canopy's high-altitude ecosystems, a luxuriant and little-known realm that is home to most of the jungle's plant and animal species.
Ecologists started only two decades ago to seriously study these high-altitudes, using sophisticated devices as mountain climbing equipment and construction cranes, that tourists now have the chance to use to cross the biological frontier.
Panoramic View
Those chances include from boarding an aerial tram that goes through the tree tops of a tropical forest, over 100 feet above the jungle floor.
All those tours offer a monkey's-eye view of the rain forest canopy, where thick branches serve as platforms, and an incredible diversity of smaller plants, and such animals as tree frogs, vine snakes, sloths, and hundreds of bird species can be seen.
For intrepids
Adventurous travelers may want to try one of the more rustic canopy tours, which entail strapping on a mountain climbing harness and pulling yourself along suspended cables to a series of small wooden platforms built in the tops of trees.
Several private biological reserves also have platforms in the canopies of large trees, where people are hoisted up to. One private reserve even has a small hotel room built in the top of a tree, for those who want to spend a night in the canopy.

Creative Wellness opened its doors in 1990 with six partners sharing a mere 1500 square foot office. We have devoted the last two decades encouraging everyone to be active participants in their own health and to educate the community about the benefits of complementary health services. Two decades after opening, we now offer massage therapy and bodywork, acupuncture, chiropractic care, hypnotherapy, ayurveda, naturopathic medicine, and a series of well-being classes and seminars to the community. Emerging mostly out of the East, these therapies have been used for thousands of years to treat a plethora of health conditions.
The most common reason American adults seek complimentary medicine today is for musculoskeletal problems such as back, neck, and joint pain.1 But over the years respected organizations, such as the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), have contributed their resources to continuing research in the many other, additional benefits of complementary and alternative medicine.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, founded in 1998, leads the way in sponsoring and conducting scientific research on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). They have funded over 1200 research projects at scientific institutions across the United States and around the world and are one of twenty-seven institutes that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The NCCAM is committed to providing the public with reliable information on the benefits of complementary and alternative medicine. "Our research helps the public and health professionals understand which CAM therapies have been proven to be safe and effective."1
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related.3 Some of the most profound research on the benefits of CAM, including massage therapy specifically, comes from its use in hospitals. Massage was found to reduce a brain chemical known as substance p which is a neurotransmitter of pain. Patients receiving regular massage showed decreased amounts of substance p compared to those in identical circumstances who did not receive massage.4 Along with the ability to aid in pain relief and stress reduction, massage has also been acknowledged for its other numerous benefits:
- Increasing Joint Mobility and Soft Tissue Flexibility
- Improving Circulation
- Decreasing Blood Pressure
- Enhancing Immunity by Decreasing Cortisol3
- Reducing Spasms and Cramping
- Relieving Migraine Pains
- Easing Labor
- Lessening Alcohol and Drug Withdrawal Symptoms
Research has shown significant benefits to cancer patients. Regular massage, can help to reduce not only pain and stress but also fatigue, nausea, anxiety, and depression.3
With the growth of complementary and alternative medicine also came the inevitable growth of Creative Wellness. A mere four years after opening its doors, the staff of Creative Wellness had grown to a staff of more than 20. The center moved to a new building in 1994, offering 4000 square feet of custom designed space to accommodate the tremendous growth, which included adding wellness classes, Chiropractic, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Hypnotherapy. This physical move also created the opportunity to work closely with the Osteopathic Physicians at Full Spectrum Family Medicine, who also recognized the importance of complementary and alternative medicine.
The Lansing community quickly took note of the impact Creative Wellness had on its members. In 1997 Irene Savoyat, Co-Owner of Creative Wellness, was nominated by her business partner, Chris Reay, and awarded the Greater Lansing Entrepreneurial Award from the Greater Lansing Business Monthly in recognition of her continuing success with the growth of the center. The center was honored again in 2004 by the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce with the Outstanding Small Business Award.
Creative Wellness, along with other respected members of the complementary and alternative medicine community, believes that a key component of integrated medicine is building relationships with the healthcare community. The more we know about what the other has to offer, the better we can work together to provide optimal healthcare.
In 2001, AMTA began supporting the Integrated Healthcare Policy Consortium (IHPC). The mission of the IHPC is to direct the national healthcare agenda towards a health-oriented, integrated system, ensuring all people access to safe and regulated conventional, complementary, and alternative healthcare professionals. Fifty-two percent of all doctors who discussed massage therapy with their patients strongly recommended it as a beneficial form of healing.2 By keeping these communications open, professional groups such as the IHPC and the NCCAM can continue to bring the latest healthcare information to the public to help maximize the effectiveness of integrative medicine. The number of people seeking CAM therapies continues to increase every year. Many other CAM therapies that are quickly gaining popularity are offered right here at Creative Wellness:
- Massage
- Chiropractic Manipulation
- Acupuncture
- Naturopathy
- Ayurveda
- Hypnosis
- Energy Healing
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Pilates
- Qi Gong
- Capoeira
As the world of complementary and alternative medicine continues to advance, Creative Wellness also continues to grow. Now, as we celebrate our twentieth anniversary, our staff, now close to 50 people strong, continues to develop and grow, to better serve your health and wellness. Plans to expand our center and service offerings are underway, and we are excitedly awaiting the opportunities it will bring us to better serve our clients. We are very grateful for the support of the community in allowing us to bring more options to achieve better health. We wouldn't be here without you!


text: I've got an old Wesco cook stove that I am wanting to install. The height of the 7" oval outlet on the stove is only 6 inches less than the bottom edge of the 8" thimble on my flue. I've seen several oval to round adapters but I can't afford to add any extra height. Has anyone dealt with an issue like this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

If any of ya'll know me you would know that one of the pieces of news I find most intriguing when it comes to minor league sports is expansion, team movement, and team foldings. I have been in professional sports for six years now. I have worked for two teams that have folded (In Harlingen and in Edinburg), a baseball league that has folded. I have seen a new league formed in the old league's place. I have seen countless teams relocate, added, and fold in the Central Hockey League, Arena Football 2, all over indy baseball and even in the D-League and CBA. It evens happens in the NBA Heck in the last decade this team has played in three different cities and frankly judging by these numbers, they could stand to move again.
Memphis used to be in Vancouver, Charlotte was added after these guys moved, The Nets are supposed to move here. The Sonics are set to move here. So even in the NBA these type of things happen. Heck even this year in the CBA we have seen one team cease operations, and another cancel their remaining home games, when did the CBA become the ABA?
But I digress. The D-League is growing and will continue to grow and will never die at least not on David Stern's watch. The D-League is his baby and his way to pull a fast one on this idiot coach of the New York Team. Remember Isiah Thomas owned the CBA ran it into the ground and tried to sell it to the NBA??? The David Stern said.. yeah um no... let me start my own league.
We have already hear the announcement of one team for next season. Reno, Nevada. Which technically isn't really an expansion team, it is basically a re-location of the dormant Ft. Worth franchise, but its a new town. Reno is a rapidly growing city, they will be getting a Triple-A baseball team down the road and frankly indoor sports make much more sense in Reno than baseball. Just my opinion. I love baseball, but Nevada is a desert. I am not going to watch a game in the desert. Sorry not happening.
There will be a second new team. Yes Two New NBA D-League Teams...AH AH AH AH although there is talk the league will still have 14 teams next year. Does that mean the end for Bakersfield or Anaheim who frankly have more people on staff than in the stands? But if the league is at 16 next year, the D-League will be officially past the halfway point of a one-to-one affiliation. Which is the D-League's eventual goal. Also expect the 09-10 season be another 4 team boom. There are plenty of markets interested and a lot more NBA teams interested in a set-up like Los Angeles and San Antonio have with their D-League teams. Don't be surprised to see Toronto, Cleveland, and Dallas get involved sometime soon.
There are many rumors as to who the other expansion team is for next year. Portand, ME? Frisco, TX? Youngstown, OH? Harlem, NY? Trenton, NJ? Manchester, NH? Buffalo, NY? Hamilton, ONT? Or maybe some old CBA towns like this one or this one?
I have a hunch that this town in Pennsylvania will be the lucky winners this year. However don't expect the rumored Cleveland affiliation to last for more than one season, if the Cavs succeed in taking over this building.
Coach Hoffman and I discussed expansion on last week's coaches show.
WARNING!! SHAMELESS PLUG: Vipers Coaches Show Friday's at 5:00 pm on ESPN RADIO 1240AM
It is always exciting to see the new towns join the league. It will add some variety to the league and maybe ease on the travel. I can see a scenario in which the League changes the Divisions around a bit and perhaps have a Northen and Southern Conference. 16 teams might also see a playoff expansion. Obviously if the league also ever went to a one-to-one affiliation the Rockets would be our team. It would be nice to see more people embrace the Rockets down here. I know, I know this is Spurs country. But, you can't tell me you didn't root for the Rockets during their title years. In fact a lot of Spurs fans were freakin Bulls fans in the 90's anyway. But logistically the Rockets would be our team farm system wise. The Spurs have Austin. The Mavs will likely place a team somewhere, probably in Frisco. The Rockets have the Valley. To me that is just perfect.

Despite all the tomfoolery going on in the gaming industry at the moment, with Doritos and Mountain Dew bloggers posing as game journalists while alienating and attacking their own audience, there's still gaming news to cover. One of the more recent releases that's sort of been skipped over as of late is The Evil Within, the latest action-survival game from the grandfather of horror-survival titles, Shinji Mikami.
The game is about a detective who ends up investigating some strange happenings on some creepy property. Quite naturally there's monsters, mutilators, man-eaters and male-slaughterers. It's a third-person shooter with a strong hint of fight-or-flight style encounters, as players are encouraged to think about how they engage with the enemy.

Published: Friday 6th February 2015 by The News Editor
It went unseen by team-mates and coaches and unmeasured by any of the travelling technology that accompanies cricketers around the world, but England's World Cup prospects rocketed the moment Steven Finn felt a familiar sensation in his fingertips.
It was in Sri Lanka in November, where England were fine-tuning their final squad for the forthcoming tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
Two years ago, Finn would have been inked into the first XI – a physically imposing paceman ready to have the world's best ducking and dancing to his tune.
A year ago, his entire international future was up in the air – the most miserable member of a miserable Ashes squad that brought the 'down' into Down Under.
Now? Finn may not quite be back to the peak of his powers, but the wickets are tumbling for him again and the speed-gun is ticking in the right direction.
And it all comes down to that unquantifiable feeling of ball in hand.
He lost it in Australia last winter – along with his run-up, his confidence and, according to then coach Ashley Giles, his selectability.
But he found it again in Sri Lanka.
"Wickets always help, but the biggest gain in confidence is the feeling you get at the end of your fingertips," he said, reflecting on his return to form during the recent Tri-Series against India and Australia.
"You can have a day when you get no wickets but you still feel good, and in the Sri Lanka tour before Christmas that feeling was there on my fingertips and I knew I was happy with how I was bowling.
"I think I'm getting there, back to my best, but there might be another couple of miles per hour to come in the tank.
"I think that will come with confidence and getting into my stride, but it's a good starting block and I'm happy with where I'm at."
While Finn's renaissance in England colours may have begun in the practice nets of Colombo, Pallekelle and Hambantota, it was not immediately apparent in results.
He was selected for five of the seven matches, slipping behind Chris Woakes in the process, and did not bowl his full allocation in any of them. Twice he was handed just six overs and there was uncertainty over his role in the side.
But England saw enough to include him in their World Cup 15 and the subsequent Tri-Series was a restorative moment for the Middlesex man.
He was in a head-to-head battle with Chris Jordan to face India at the Gabba when the latter was struck down with illness.
Finn played, found a springy track to his liking and returned career-best figures of five for 33 to roll the Indians over for a meek 153.
In the next three matches Finn took a central role, getting through his full 10 overs on each occasion – fully trusted by his county colleague and new national skipper Eoin Morgan.
He finished as the second highest wicket-taker of the series behind Australis's Mitchell Starc, with 11 scalps at 21.36.
His economy rate – a shade over five – was comfortably bettered by England's king of swing James Anderson (whose overs cost just 3.62 apiece), but more important was his strike-rate across five matches – one wicket every 25 balls.
Finn has never won games for England by constricting opponents and drying up runs. He is a wicket-taker, a bowler who draws the batsmen into an open game and picks him off once he opens his shoulders.
It is a valuable commodity, particularly in the middle overs when fielding sides can become insular, and Finn has it back.
Having meticulously deconstructed his method to no avail last winter, Finn revealed he was given new advice by Andrew Flintoff when the former England all-rounder attended nets in Brisbane.
"We just chatted about keeping bowling as simple as you can, just going up and trying to bowl quick. That served him well throughout his career and it's a great piece of advice for any young fast bowler," Finn said.
It is a clear plan for someone who has at times appeared to overthink his game, and, if the fingertips are willing, it could reap big rewards for England.

Thanksgiving is our time to give thanks, and boy have I got plenty to be grateful for. It's been real busy around here, but I have made a promise to myself to follow Peter Bedard's, of Create Your Health suggestion, to write a list of 50 things I am grateful for. I invite you to do that too! I am very grateful for my wonderful community – thank you for all of your lovely support. Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving!
Another person I am grateful for is Elana Horwich of Meal and Spiel, who posted this awesome recipe for Pumpkin Pie with a Flourless Pecan crust. I personally "cheated" and used a can of organic pumpkin puree, but I can't tell you how excited I am to try the flourless pecan crust recipe! It's sitting in the refrigerator now awaiting this afternoon's festivities. Find Elana's entire recipe here.
This pie crust was crazy easy to make.
3 Cups Pecans
10ish Dates, Pitted
7 Tablespoons Butter + 1 Tablespoon for the pie pan
Place all ingredients into food processor, butter the pan with remaining tablespoon butter, and press the delicious pecan-ey mush into the pie pan. Either fill the pan with Elana's delicious Pumpkin Pie recipe, or follow the instructions on the back of your organic pumpkin puree can. Here's what I did: Bake for about 15 minutes at 425, then take pie out and cover the crust edges with tin foil (see pic below), and reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the pie is firm to touch. Let it cool before serving. Can be made a day ahead. Enjoy!

Article source: D'Arcy Jones Architecture
A new commercial art gallery was carved from the shell of a derelict bulldozer repair shop in the old Finning industrial complex. The design process was more of an archaeological excavation than a traditional renovation, stripping away layers of grime to showcase the tough bones of the 1963 concrete block building.

Cute, we say because the loyal viewers of the show will see the Creator Shaan showering praises on his discovery, Rajni.
And what's more? Viewers can also see a sweet moment wherein Shaan will kiss Rajni on his hands!!
Wow!! So what will prompt Shaan to do so?
Well, as they say, little minds work out intelligent plans. In the same way, R.A.M. (Aryan Prajapathi) will soon go on a black mail mode, with him asking Shaan to do whatever he says, failing which he will tell the entire Kant family of Rajni actually being a robot.
That's really cute!! And R.A.M. will ask Shaan to make Rajni happy, by buying her gifts, flowers and also by praising her.
As per sources, "This will be a very cute scene wherein Shaan will be forced to praise Rajni, and will also kiss her on her hand."

Are you happy with this piece of news? Excited to see this sequence on TV?

San Jose fired another 37 shots on net in their 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, and are on a somewhat historic run because of it.
It was the Sharks 11th straight game they have registered at least 35 shots on goal, which is the longest streak of its kind by an NHL team since 1983-84, when the Philadelphia Flyers reached 35 shots or more in 12 in a row.
The Sharks register an even 35.0 shots on goal per game, leading the league.
Surprisingly, though, San Jose doesnt have a single player in the top 25 in that stat. Dan Boyle is the closest, as his 134 shots place him in a tie for 26th in the league. Rounding out the top five for the Sharks are Patrick Marleau (127), Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski (123) and Brent Burns (118).
The Sharks are also fifth in the league in shots against, allowing just 28.5. Their 6.5 differential is second in the NHL, trailing only Pittsburgh (7.3).

Fish O Mania final - full match round-up and results
A rousing last hour in one of the most exciting Fish O' finals of recent years saw Neil McKinnon snatch the trophy from the grasp of Tommy Pickering and pocket the £25,000 winner takes all prize.
Former world champ Tommy had led the 16-peg shootout from around halfway and with just 30 minutes remaining was a convincing 6kg in front of Neil and seemingly odds on to record one of the biggest wins in his illustrious career.
That was until Shakespeare/Dynamite Baits-backed Neil finally caught shallow, piling over 10kg of carp into the net to overtake Tommy and record his name in the annals of Fish O' history, watched by hundreds of spectators behind him.
Neil's 29-980 final weight proved over 6kg too good for Tommy with Andy Benwell taking third on 20-270, Andy North picking up the big fish prize worth £2,500 with a 6-080 carp but the day belonged to Neil, a former finalist who rated that appearance in the 2007 final as the greatest regret in his career as he failed to do himself justice.
"The win was all about having faith in a method," Neil said. "I'd rate fishing shallow as one of my strengths and I thought that if the barbel didn't feed on the deck, I'd have a chance of winning with carp shallow although when I drew my peg and got to it, I wasn't happy. The wind was blowing into me at a 45 degree angle and they're the worst conditions you can have for trying to catch shallow."
Peg 4 was Neil's draw and as the end pegs failed to produce, the match became a slugfest between Tommy on peg 12 and Neil in that last 60 minutes, Tommy's Method feeder attack failing to catch a fish while Neil's shallow skills saw him unable to get a bait into the peg quick enough!
"I started on the feeder to the island by after 15 minutes I knew I wasn't going to catch there so I scrapped it and went out to 14m where I'd fed worm and caster," Neil explained. "I caught a couple of barbel, a small chub and a few bits on small pieces of worm, but had been feeding pellet over it with a view to catching shallow.
On my last day of practice I cottoned on to the fact that you could catch shallow where the peg was fizzing and that's been the case today."
A banded 6mm hard pellet was his hookbait, feeding 6mm offerings although he varied the amount to see how the fish reacted. A frugal approach worked for a few fish before piling it in picked off a few more, the bulk of his fish caught at 2ft deep as the carp refused to feed any higher in the water.
"After an hour I caught my first carp shallow but I knew it wasn't right out there," Neil added. "It became a line to keep dropping in on to see if they were there. With an hour to go I thought I wasn't going to win as Tommy was a long way in front but the fish turned up and had a go."
"Fish O' finals don't come around that often and you can't get carried away by what others are doing," he continued.
"I kept concentrated on catching shallow and was helped immensely by Jon Arthur sitting behind me who was my eyes and ears and kept me on my toes. I never worry about what I've got in my net as I'm more concerned about catching the next fish and that was my blinkered approach in that last 30 minutes. I never even knew Andy North on my right had caught that 12lb carp as I was so focused."
Neil fished a 4x12 float with a bristle to battle the windy conditions, the rest of his winning rig consisting of 0.13mm Powerline straight through to a size 16 PR26 hook and Preston Innovations grade 13h elastic, lifting and dropping the rig in all the time rather than slapping it on the surface to make noise.
"I feel this is a bit of vindication after the Parkdean Masters when Tommy won it," Neil said. "I lost a huge fish under my feet that I'm adamant would have won me the £25,000! The title and prestige are more important than the cash – I even said the night before the match that they could keep the money, all I wanted was the trophy and title!"

Well I'm back and my brain is swimming with information. I've got so much I want to tell everyone. I think I talked my friend's ear off last night filling her in on all that happened.
The conference was beyond anything I could have ever imagined it would be. When I first walked into the conference area I was like a deer in headlights. oooh, that's a writing cliche' I learned I'm supposed avoid useing them. Oh well, I can't think of any other metaphor to use, or is simile? hmmmm.
Anyway, it was much bigger than I thought it would be. How I thought 600 women would be anything but big, I don't know. But it was BIG. I was nervous and scared and ALL alone. And I just knew I made a mistake in coming. All I could think was "What am I going to tell my husband if I ruin this opportunity?" It was not cheap to go and I couldn't bear to disappoint him.
So I squared my shoulders and went in determined to make the most of it. I sat down at a table and had dinner with women I didn't know. About half way through I realized that one of them was a very prominent literary agent. At that point I didn't even want to eat anything else for fear I would spill, or drop my fork, or look like a pig for eating to much, or God forbid choke or something. So I just sat there sipping my ice tea quietly and letting the condensation drip onto my lap, hoping by the time I got up it would be dry.
Then it started and I have to tell you it was like seeing your favorite celebrity. Just picture in your mind what famous person you'd like to see and how it would make you feel, and that was I was feeling. I felt like a 12 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers concert. I even started to cry. I've been following most of them for about 3 years on their blogs and websites and to finally meet them in person was a big high for me.
But you want to know something? The women from Proverbs 31 Ministries were just as emotional as everyone in the audience was. They were hugging women and laughing and shaking hands and most importantly they were telling everyone in the audience how happy they were that they were there.
The entire weekend was like that. The women of Proverbs 31 Ministries said in the beginning of the conference that they were there for us, and they meant it. Not one of them didn't have time for a question, comment, picture or to pray.
Every speaker that took the stage during the general sessions gave a powerful message that made me want to become a better christian woman. I don't even know why I bothered to put make up on, it seemed every time I turned around I was crying. I couldn't even introduce myself to some of them because I would start to cry and couldn't even speak. Good Grief!
Each of the breakout sessions was informative. I have a notebook full of notes to help me get started writing.
The food was very good, not your typical banquet food. We had filet mignon Saturday night.
The hotel room was luxurious!
And the other woman in attendance were not like I expected. Many of them were there with there book proposals and had meetings with publishers and others were like me, needing to learn where to begin. But all of them were friendly. Women sometimes get a bad rap when it comes to relating to othere women. I didn't find that to be the case at all here. People genuinely wanted to know about you and your projects.
It's funny though, I don't know how many times someone asked me "What's your book about?" And I had to sheepishly say, "Well, I don't really have a book yet" or they would ask me "What is your message? or platform?" And again I would just pause and minute and then blabber on about what I thought my message was, or what I felt I wanted to try to do, but without a definately answer. It didn't matter though, people were gracious and encouraging and didn't make me feel like I shouldn't be there.
Most importantly God showed up for me in an amazing way this weekend.
Me, the ordinary woman who never went to college, and has fumbled her way into wanting to write. He was with me. I wasn't alone.
I felt his presence with me many times.
I heard his word speak straight to my heart.
And thank goodness I was there at the conference to hear it.
I have so much more to tell you about some of the speakers messages and my meeting with Cecil Murphey but I think I will spread it out over the next few days.
One of the things I learned is I need to start bringing people back to my blog more often as a way of getting my message out and gain a following, which means I need to post more often,
which means you will have to come back to tomorrow to hear more.

Embattled, Bush Held To Plan to Salvage Iraq
Sunday, January 21, 2007
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had a surprise for President Bush when they sat down with their aides in the Four Seasons Hotel in Amman, Jordan. Firing up a PowerPoint presentation, Maliki and his national security adviser proposed that U.S. troops withdraw to the outskirts of Baghdad and let Iraqis take over security in the strife-torn capital. Maliki said he did not want any more U.S. troops at all, just more authority.
The president listened intently to the unexpected proposal at their Nov. 30 meeting, according to accounts from several administration officials. Bush seemed impressed that Maliki had taken the initiative, but it did not take him long to reject the idea.
By the time Bush returned to Washington, the plan had already been picked through by his military commanders. At a meeting in the White House's Roosevelt Room, the president flatly told his advisers that the Maliki plan was not going to work. He had concluded that the Iraqis were not up to the task and that Baghdad would collapse into chaos, making a bad situation worse. And so the Americans would have to help them.
From that early December meeting on, Bush was headed down a path that would result in his defying critics and the seeming message of the November elections by ordering 21,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq. A reconstruction of the administration's Iraq policy review, based on more than a dozen interviews with senior advisers, Bush associates, lawmakers and national security officials, reveals a president taking the lead in driving the process toward one more effort at victory -- despite doubts along the way from his own military commanders, lawmakers and the public at large.
He never seriously considered beginning to withdraw U.S. forces, as urged by newly elected Democratic congressional leaders and the bipartisan Iraq Study Group. And he had grown skeptical of his own military commanders, who were telling him no more troops were needed.
So Bush relied on his own judgment that the best answer was to try once again to snuff out the sectarian violence in Baghdad, even at the risk of putting U.S. soldiers into a crossfire between Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias. When his generals resisted sending more troops, he seemed irritated. When they finally agreed to go along with the plan, he doubled the number of troops they requested.
It was a signature moment for a president who seems uninfluenced by the electorate on Iraq and headed for a showdown with the new Democratic Congress. Presented with an opportunity to pull back, Bush instead chose to extend and, in some ways, deepen his commitment, gambling that more time and a new plan will finally bring success to the troubled U.S. military mission.
"The guy who is most committed to winning and finding a way to win is the president. He always has been; he's the only reason we are still in this fight," said Frederick W. Kagan, a military historian at the American Enterprise Institute whose advice to send more troops has been closely monitored by senior administration policymakers.
Yet in hindsight, some Bush advisers believe they misjudged the politics that would greet Bush's Jan. 10 unveiling of the new plan. They understood that many if not most Democrats would not welcome a troop increase but thought at least some would grudgingly go along -- not anticipating what ended up as near-universal opposition by Democrats and visceral anger even among some Republicans.
They had hoped more members of Congress would embrace the advice that Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) gave the president during one session in the Cabinet Room. "Mr. President, I have two words for you," Lieberman said, according to officials who were present. " 'Be bold.' "
That advice, at least, Bush would take to heart.
Political Surprises
Bush's new Iraq plan traces its origin to last summer, after the second of two operations designed to quell spiking violence in Baghdad collapsed. For more than three years, Bush and his advisers had been leading the war on the fundamental belief that once they built a representative democratic government, the Sunni insurgency and sectarian violence would ebb.

Tinder and the Dawn of the "Dating Apocalypse" – Vanity Fair
When there is a surplus of women, or a perceived surplus of women, the whole mating system tends to shift towards short-term dating. Marriages become unstable. Divorces increase.

Tonight in Vespers, as we read of Simeon and his gracious blessing and willingness to die (having seen salvation in the form of an infant Jesus), it came to me again:
How come we're good at preaching that people should be unafraid to die when we're afraid of the death of our denomination?
After the scripture, it came back in the communion liturgy. How Jesus "freed us from slavery to fear and death."
My wondering is about how the denomination--in my case the United Methodist Church--is like a person. I have this sense that we are. And, that our preoccupation with our own decline (we don't actually say "death") is preventing us from living faithfully, fearlessly, freely. Which, it seems to me, is what we ought to be about.
Not, of course, that we shouldn't always be concerned with how to change ourselves up to be relevant--I'm just supposing that, if we were primarily concerned with vital ministry in the lives of individuals and communities, we couldn't help but do that. If we were always doing those things Jesus said to do--caring for the poor, the widows, the orphans. Doing justice and building peace.
Sometimes, we get caught up in argument about semantics. Like how we describe the ways we need to change. I think we fall short when we're talking about ways we need to change "so that the denomination doesn't die." When we keep caught on how to change so we're building the kin-dom of God, we should be much better off.
I'm just saying that if death (or "decline," as we prefer) has us caught in fear, we've got no chance. I believe in resurrection.

HERMOSA BEACH - THEN & NOW H ermosa Beach, a city in Los Angeles County, California, has a population of approximately 19,500 and is located in the South Bay region of the greater Los Angeles area. It is one of three Beach Cities: Hermosa Beach is bordered by the other two, Manhattan Beach to the North and Redondo Beach to the South and East. Of the three Beach Cities, only Hermosa Beach owns its own beach. The other two cities' beaches are owned by the county of Los Angeles. The wide flat beach makes Hermosa Beach one of the most popular places to play beach volleyball, from professional to amateur. The Strand, which stretches North into Manhattan Beach and South into Redondo Beach, is a popular place for walkers, joggers, biking and sightseeing. The city itself is relatively small, extending only about 15 blocks from East to West and 40 blocks from North to South, with the Pacific Coast Highway running down the middle. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, Hermosa's average summer temperature ranges in the mid- 70s. Consistent ocean breezes lessen what can be high summertime temperatures in surrounding Los Angeles areas, and helps to keep the smog away 360 days of the year. Hermosa Beach was originally part of the 1884 Rancho San Pedro Spanish land grant that later became the ten- mile Ocean frontage of Rancho Sausal Redondo. In 1900 a tract of 1,500 acres was purchased for $35 per acre from A. E. Pomroy, then owner of the greater part of Rancho Sausal Redondo. It's hard to believe that in the early days, Hermosa Beach — like so many of its neighboring cities (Inglewood, Lawndale, Torrance) — was once vastly sweeping rolling hills covered with fields of grain. During certain seasons of the year large herds of sheep were found grazing over this land, and corrals and large barns stored the grain, in addition to providing shelter for horses and farm equipment on the ranch between Hermosa and Inglewood. Today' s H ermosa Beach Real Estate finds a very different picture than from the early days, with full size lots as small as only 2,400 square feet, built with up to 3 story h ome s covering nearly the entire lot. Neighbors are just a few feet away and the rolling hills are now covered with homes, apartments, condominiums and small businesses. Because Hermosa Beach was one of the first beach cities to start development, it remains one of the most eclectic. It is not uncommon to see an original beach bungalow sitting next to a 1950s duplex that is located next to a brand new custom home. Although most of Hermosa Beach Real Estate has been developed through the years, there still remains plenty of undeveloped public land. Most notably is the 24 acres of vacated railway that cuts through the entire city from North to South. The railway once supported the only public transportation available from Los Angeles to Redondo Beach. Local residents fought developers in the 1980s who sought to build condominiums and retail along the corridor and today it remains a very popular & unique hiking and jogging trail. In addition, there are eight other parks found throughout this small city. The school system in Hermosa Beach is divided uniquely into two groups, Kindergarten through 2nd grade with students attending Hermosa View School off of Prospect Avenue, and 3rd grade through middle school students all attend Hermosa Valley School located off of Valley near Pier Avenue. Hermosa Beach does not have its own High School. Residents have the choice of sending students to either Mira Costa High School or Redondo Union High School. Like most beach cities schools, the scores at both schools rank extremely high. (You can find more information on the school system online at www.hbcsd.org.) The Board of Realtors divides Hermosa Beach into 3 distinct sections. The Sand Section, also known as area 148 on the Multiple Listing Service, is all property West of Valley, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The Valley Section (Area 149) is located between Valley and Pacific Coast Highway. East Hermosa Beach (Area 150) is all of the properties located East of Pacific C o a s t Highway. As with most beach cities property, the closer you get to the ocean, the higher the price. This will vary dramatically, however, based on view, orientation, size of the home, and the year built. In addition, lot sizes will typically increase farther East as you move away from the beach. Hermosa does have its own Hill Section, although not nearly the size of Manhattan Beach's Hill Section. There are some properties that are very large, with a few parcels of land well over 10,000 square feet, capturing sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from Palos Verdes to the Santa Monica Bay and beyond. Homes of this stature can fetch into the millions of dollars, but they rarely hit the market. Hermosa Beach Real Estate certainly ranks high both in median home prices as well as its ability to retain value as compared to many parts of the United States. Its proximity to Los Angeles makes it an easy commute to one of the busiest and most diverse business cities in the country. Combine that with one of the greatest weather patterns in the world, an award winning public school system and access to one of the best beaches on any coast, Hermosa draws both young and old as a place to call home. Hermosa Beach is known to have the highest ratio of rentals to owner occupied properties in the three Beach Cities with 44.6% being owner occupied and 55.4% tenant occupied. It also has some of the most diverse cross section of homes, from turn-of- the-century beach cottages, to 10,000 square foot ocean front homes. Prices can vary from $300,000 for a small 1 bedroom condo to over $20 Million for a beach front estate. As far as demographics go, the most interesting piece of recent trivia is that CNNMoney reported Hermosa Beach being ranked "the greatest city to live in to find rich single men", as many male residents have a high median household income. The city is a constant buzz of activity from small coffee shops and stores which are all walking distance from most homes, to outdoor eating and bars that line the popular Pier Plaza. Collectively, it's a very active lifestyle of outdoor living. For complete access to today's Hermosa Beach inventory visit HermosaBeachEd.com 10 SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
