Okay, the first song on my list is,"Imagine" by John Lennon. The song truly resonated with me and my family's situation abroad during our stay in a Thai refugee camp in the wake of the Vietnam war. Although I heard the song a countless number times before I saw Roland Jofee's, "The Killing Fields" in which "Imagine" was the last song that played, I was floored; memories my family's plight from Thailand to the United States came rushing back once again.
The second song is,"When I'm With You," by Sheriff. This song was the band Sheriff's first and last hit song. Actually, the band broke up right before it began topping the charts! I first heard it the first time I fell for a girl. It was at a sixth grade graduation dance and I'll never forget it. Heck, it was the first time I slow danced as well. Talk about unforgettable...
The third is the song,"The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics. Although this came out years beforehand, every time I heard this song in the radio it reminded me of the tension and discord between my father and I as he and I had a serious falling out whilst I was a teenager. It wouldn't be until I graduated from high school that he and I would make amends. It took my becoming an adult to realize just how much he and I are actually alike.
The fourth song is "Alive," by Pearl Jam. The song pretty much epitomizes my entire college experience. It's the song that reminds me of some really fast and fun times, notably while being a brother in a fraternity. When all is said and done, college will most likely be the funnest time of my life. "Alive" reminds me of such.
My fifth and final song is by my all-time favorite band, the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" and the name of the song is "Wet Sand" which is the last track to their album "Stadium Arcadium" off the Jupiter side. "Wet Sand" is one of my all-time favorite songs which perfectly describes imperfection in narcissism. When hearing this colossal song for the first time, I was still getting over a girl whom I dated for three years. The song just spoke to me and set me right. John Frusciante's solo therein is one of the best ever recorded.
Now, these aren't exactly my favorite songs of all time but they are accurate in their interpretation and is solely unique to me. If anything else, they are all worth listening to.

Mitt Romney easily survived his first test of the 2012 campaign here Monday night, cruising through a debate with six Republican rivals who were more interested in attacking President Obama than in turning their fire on the former Massachusetts governor.
In his first debate of the campaign, the nominal front-runner for the GOP nomination seemed eager for the spotlight. Through two hours of questioning, he delivered a steady performance, made no obvious errors and stuck to his campaign game plan of focusing his message on the president and the economy.
The first big debate of the Republican campaign — hosted by CNN, WMUR-TV and the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper — produced no real fireworks and few memorable moments. For most of the candidates, this was a night for introductions rather than confrontations. Among the others, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who announced her candidacy onstage, may have done herself the most good with a personable and energetic performance.
The tone and tenor of the debate suited Romney just fine. In that sense, Monday's forum at St. Anselm College may prove an anomaly by the time the primaries and caucuses arrive early next year. Romney likely will look back at this forum as one of the easy ones and far from a true test as he seeks the nomination.
Romney was able to keep his focus on Obama in large part because the others decided not to go after him.
Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty ducked an opportunity to challenge Romney for enacting a health care plan in Massachusetts that resembled the law Obama signed last year. On Sunday, Pawlenty had attacked Romney's plan, and Obama's, with the dismissive shorthand "Obamneycare." On Monday night, he wouldn't go near the phrase and insisted that he was really just criticizing the president and his health-care plan.
Pawlenty offered only tepid and indirect criticism of Romney. "In order to prosecute the case against President Obama, you have to be able to show that you've got a better plan and a different plan. We took a different approach in Minnesota," he said. "We didn't use top-down government mandates and individual requirements from government."
With no one pressing Romney on the issue that presents one of the greatest vulnerabilities to his candidacy for the nomination, the former Massachusetts governor was able to deliver a stock answer and join others in emphasizing that, as president, he would seek to repeal the president's health-care law.
"I can't wait to debate him and say, 'Mr. President, if in fact you did look at what we did in Massachusetts, why didn't you give me a call and ask what worked and what didn't?' " Romney said. " 'And I would have told you, Mr. President, that what you're doing will not work.' "
Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum was given the opportunity to take on Romney for having changed positions on abortion before he ran for president in 2008, switching from supporting to opposing abortion rights. Asked whether that raised questions about Romney's authenticity, Santorum equivocated, preferring to point to himself as someone who would keep issues like abortion at the front of his agenda as president. He offered only a mild rebuke of Romney.
"I think an issue should be, in looking at any candidate, is looking at the authenticity of that candidate and looking at their — at their record over time and what they fought for," Santorum said. "And I think that's a factor that should be determined."
Bachmann may have been the surprise performer, given this was her first presidential debate and she arrived with many questions about her candidacy. She delivered a strongly conservative message, on issues from the debt ceiling to health care. She also showed people skills in her responses to voters who put questions to the candidates and occasional flashes of humor during the often-tedious discussion.
Defending the tea party to a Republican voter worried that some of the candidates would lean too far in the direction of the most conservative elements of the party, she said, "It's a wide swath of America coming together. I think that's why the left fears it so much, because they're people who simply want to take the country back. They want the country to work again."
Pawlenty had strong moments, particularly in an answer about the separation of church and state: "The Founding Fathers understood that the blessings that we have as a nation come from our creator, and we should stop and say thank you and express gratitude for that. And I embrace it."
But his performance is likely to be remembered for what he didn't say to Romney.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich — whose senior campaign staff quit last week, leaving his candidacy in an even weaker position — held his own, as he needed to do. If at times he sounded more like a legislator than a president, he nonetheless delivered at times crisp answers and sharp attacks on Obama.
Businessman Herman Cain, whose performance in the first GOP debate brought him widespread praise from conservatives and a boost in his poll numbers, had a more mixed performance Monday. His most memorable answer came when he tried to explain why he would be reluctant to appoint Muslims to his administration if he were president.
"The statement was, would I be comfortable with a Muslim in my administration, not that I wouldn't appoint one," he said. "That's the exact transcript. And I would not be comfortable because you have peaceful Muslims and then you have militant Muslims, those that are trying to kill us. And so when I said I wouldn't be comfortable, I was thinking about the ones that are trying to kill us."
Romney distanced himself from Cain's answer, but when Gingrich's turn came, the former speaker he said, "Now, I just want to go out on a limb here. I am in favor of saying to people, if you're not prepared to be loyal to the United States, you will not serve in my administration, period."
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas had a better debate than he did in South Carolina last month, if only because he did not stray into discussion of the legalization of heroin. He articulated his libertarian philosophy, which has some following in New Hampshire.
Romney jumped on Obama from beginning to end. "This president has failed. And he's failed at a time when the American people counted on him to create jobs and get the economy going," he said.
But he also had moments where he appeared to be on the defensive, particularly when asked about his past statements that, if the government bailed out the auto industry, the industry would disappear.
Confronted with the reality of an industry on the rebound, Romney insisted that his original position — to force the auto companies to go through the bankruptcy process — is ultimately the course pursued by the administration. "The bailout program was not a success because the bailout program wasted a lot of money," he said.
Voters in Michigan — and elsewhere — may disagree.
Romney will be asked about this and health care and where he truly stands on other issues with greater intensity in the future. For one night, however, he was able to keep control of a debate and avoid the kind of clashes and potentially difficult moments that will be coming soon.

Complaint Review: JB HUNT Transport
JBHUNT Transport ripoff Chicago Illinois
*UPDATE EX-employee responds: Been there / Done that
*Consumer Suggestion: Fresh out of trucking school, huh? Boy, are you in for a rude awakening.
*Consumer Suggestion: DOT REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED
*Consumer Suggestion: That's how the trucking business works. How long have you been a driver?
On Monday, August 22, 2005 I was assigned a load to be picked up in Commerce Cy, Colorado, which destination was Salt Lake City. Shepper should have completed loading by 4:00 pm, but it completed loading at 6:15 pm.
The distance I should drive was: Paid miles=507, Real miles=603
Because the load was of 42,500 lbs, I had to scale and adjust the tandems so I havd to go to truck stop to do my scaling Of all this, I kept the dispatch informed as needed via qualcomm.
Because of DOT regulations, I must take a 10 hrs braek after 11 hrs driving or 14 hrs on duty. It was not possible for me to deliver the load at 8:00 on Tuesday Aug 23, 05. Dispatch knew and instead of re-scheduling a new appointment for the delivery of my load, they just ignored the excistance of it.
Next day, when I arrived to the receiver, he refused to receive my load and asked me to get an scheduled date and time.
Then and only then, dispatch service proceeded to re-schedule the delivery of my load. Because of that inefficiency, I had to layover at receiver facility for more that 36 hrs.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Been there / Done that
AUTHOR: Roadslave - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 10, 2008POSTED: Sunday, August 10, 2008
This s*&*& is carved in stone so " DON'T BREAK THE LAW " . 9 years later I can tell you this much , big companies like JB , Schneider , Swift , to name some familiar ones , for the most part don't expect you to flagrantly break the law , but you d**n sure better be willing and able to bend the hell out of it . The DOT isn't the inquisition . They're not going to pull you over , get a court order , and dump your ECM to compare to your logs . They don't want the hassle any more than you . Keep your logs neat , fairly believable and possible , and don't get so greedy that they have have to bust you just to make a point .
The first time I ran w/ JB I tried the line that you have . Legal this and legal that , but I phrased it more as a question rather than a statement or demand , and when I did run I ran like hell , so they kept me workin and guided me with the type of code the other dude talked about until I broke down , started to listen and learn . I still really didn't get it till I sat at a TA in Conn. in '02 when the gov shut down the interstates for 3 days . I sat at the counter getting something to eat , listening to a bunch of 'ol roaddogs telling their stories and airing their gripes , and as you knew it was gonna happen they started b*&*&* about the newbie big co. drivers and asked which one I ran for . I told 'em , the a*& bustin commenced , but I sat ther , shut my mouth and took it , and when the oppertunity presented it I respectfully asked them how do you guys get away with running like that ? They said it was something that took time in a seat , and the willingness to do what had to be done to do the job and some old salts to teach you the ropes .
I pointed out that none of us were going anywhere for a while and sincerly and respectfully asked them if they would please take the time to teach me how it got done in the real world by real drivers ? and they did . All afternoon they tought me how to run in the gray areas , the way I really had to run to make a decent buck ( even as a company driver ) , what the company really wanted and probably what they'd let me get away with . I walked out of that restuerant that day with a lot on my mind and a new prospective on this job I'd chosen to make my livin at .
We'd sat the entire weekend , so I only ran through the house to pick up new clothes and some fingerfood to eat , told the wife no home time this week , and set my mind on doing as they said and letting it ride . The change was almost immediate . My weekly milage went from 1450 - 1600 to 2k to 2150 . That was pretty d**n good on a ded contract where the avg was @ 1600 / wk . My team leader asked me what happened to me out in the snow 2 weeks earlier cause even he seen the difference and I told him some saints tought me how it gets done in the real world , he said good - ready to make some money ? We did , and I still do to this day , and I mostly run east of this missisip and primarily in and through the northeast .
I've had my logs looked at in everystate and NEVER got a single ticket for a log violation . Sorry to run on like that , but my point is this . If you're going to run by the gospel your never going to make any good money , and depending how you relate to your fleet manager - team leader - whatever , you may not get to keep your job . You have to bend the hell out of the rules at times no matter how the book spells it out - that how it gets done out here . Always has - always will . If you don't see that , can't bring yourself to stretch that neck out there and push that line around to get the job done , your never going to make any money and you need to go back to a nine to fiver , stop your whining and complaining so loud so the other newbies aren't distracted can't hear the old timers when they talk and let the industry get on with business .
I understand where your coming from , been there / done that , but I'm telling you how it really is , not the line of b*&*&*& you'd get from a recruiter or what you'd hear in orientation from somebody telling you what he's PAID to get up there and tell you . He knows it b*&*&*& just like all the old timers , but its what he's told to say , and it'll keep you alive till you get to hang with your bunch of old timers and learn how it really is out here and how to make it work . If you are not going to run it like it should be done , please hang up your keys and go do something else . We got some freight to move . Good luck in whatever you choose and have a safe and good one out there .
#2 Consumer Suggestion
Fresh out of trucking school, huh? Boy, are you in for a rude awakening.
AUTHOR: Paul - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 03, 2005POSTED: Saturday, September 03, 2005
Most trip instructions include a question that asks you if you will able to deliver on time. If you check Y for yes, they d**n well expect you to do what you agreed to do. If you check N for no, they will give the load to another truck. You will sit there in your truck waiting until they find you another load.
The quickest way to get thrown out of the truck is to start turning down loads, either because you don't like the trip, or because you are too tired to drive the truck. Some dispatchers will work with you a little. Especially if they see you already drove 3,000 miles for the week.
But, let's face it, a dispatcher is there to keep the trucks and the freight moving. That means they are looking to keep you loaded and driving as much as possible. That's the only way that both you and the company will make money.
Let me explain something here. It's not realistic to expect to get a full 8 hours of regular sleep every night from 10 PM to 6 AM. That's not how the industry works. Sometimes, you will find yourself in a situation where you need to run all night in order to make a morning delivery.
Other times, you simply don't have the luxury of getting a full 8 hours. So, you get 4 or 5 now. Then, later, maybe you can lie down for a couple more hours. You learn to go back and lay down every time the truck stops. Every time you are loading, or unloading. Even with the forklift in the trailer, you can get 40 minutes of rest if you're tired enough. And, believe me, you will be tired enough.
If you do not want to do this, they will get rid of you. It's that simple. When you send bawl-baby messages back on the Qualcomm, complaining about one thing or another, they have one standard reply. Driver, do the best that you can. So, what does that mean? Are you allowed to go to sleep for 10 hours? Don't be ridiculous!
When you get a message from your company that says do the best you can it means you d**n well better get your load delivered on time, or else. No, they will not come right out on a public message system and tell you to violate federal laws. They will use code. Do the best you can is code for get your d**n a*s in gear and get your load moving.
If you refuse, they won't say another word. If the load is critical, they will send another truck over to get your trailer and make sure it's delivered. Then, you will regret the minute that you ever decided to screw with the company.
They will let you sit. Your computer won't beep. You won't get any loads. You will sit somewhere, in a rest area, with no food and no money. It could be days. You will be hungry and they won't give you as much as a plug nickel on your comdata card. Besides, what are you going to buy in a rest area? A bag of potato chips? How can you live on potato chips for two or three days?
When you take your truck back to the terminal for home time, they will expect you to quit. If you do not quit, they will suddenly find either drugs or beer bottles in your truck and you will be fired. No company is going to let you sit in one of their trucks and sleep whenever you feel like it. They have freight to move, and they expect you to pitch in and handle your share.
You don't have to do 4,000 miles a week, but you better be able to do at least 2,500 consistently. Hell, that averages out to only 350 miles a day! If you simply can't keep up with the pace, I suggest you find something else to do. If you can't manage to stay alert and awake, get out before you fall asleep and kill yourself. There's no shame in saying that you need more rest. Trucking isn't for everybody. Go home and find something else. That's all.
As far as the DOT goes, they know exactly what every one of these companies is doing. They look at your log and if it looks neat and you're on the right day, they don't fool with you. They know that most of the industry runs the drivers illegal. What can they do? Stop every truck and place them out of service behind a scale house? Don't be ridiculous.
Two fleets run by-the-book legal. Wal-mart and Fed-ex. I know it. Every experienced driver knows it. And, every DOT officer knows it. As long as you look like you're awake and in control of your truck, they won't bother you. Even if you're 2 hours over your allowed driving time. Of course, you can't come out and tell them that. Everybody pretends. You have to make a legal log. But, it doesn't have to be truthful.
I will tell you this. If you are having a hard time staying awake and driving when the company expects you to drive, I'd get out and go the hell home. Every week, new rookies fall asleep at the wheel and get themselves killed. If you can't stay awake, stop and go home. Do not get yourself killed. It's not worth it. Just give the truck back and let someone else handle it.
Like I said, there's no shame in quitting. Hell, I did. I can run 750 every day in a 68 mile truck, but it's d**n hard. You're always dead tired and filthy dirty because your whole life is spent driving the truck. That's no life, as far as I'm concerned. Hell, at my last company, they expected you to do 1,000 miles a day. Yuma, Arizona produce farms to the Chicago produce market in two days. Two thousand miles. In two days. I did it for a while. So did a lot of other drivers. But, I got sick and tired of that life real quick. One day, I said the hell with this and went home.
It all depends on what you want from life. Some drivers love the life. Many of them can't sleep for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time. They get used to it. These are the people who deliver America's freight. If you're not one of these people, why fight the system? Trucking isn't the only job out there. Find something that offers the life that you want. That's all you need to do.
Do yourself a favor, driver. Walk in to the next Flying J or T/A or even a Pilot truck stop. Go up to some of the drivers there and ask them how the industry works. See for yourself. Don't just take my word. Talk to other driver who have been out there day in and day out for 8, 10, sometimes 20 years. Ask them what you need to be able to do if you want to get by. Perhaps one of them can explain logging to you while you're in there.
#3 Consumer Suggestion
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 03, 2005POSTED: Saturday, September 03, 2005
GVW Must be equals or less than 80000
Load must be distributed: 34,34,12
Driving: 11 hrs
driving & rest, fueling, meals: 14 hrs
8 days no more than 70 hrs.
If a driver does not follow this and other regulation. he or she is in violaton of dot REGULATION AND SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION
So the driver in the previous report should adhere to all those mandated rules or may be disciplined by either his company or the DOT officers if caught
#4 Consumer Suggestion
That's how the trucking business works. How long have you been a driver?
AUTHOR: Paul - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 02, 2005POSTED: Friday, September 02, 2005
You don't go by the logging silliness. Hell, if every driver took 11 straight hours off, nothing would ever get delivered.
You sleep when they are loading your truck. You drive when they are done. Simple as that. Make the lines on the logs fit your schedule.
Why do you think you sat for a day and half? You pissed off the dispatcher and the receiver. They probably want you to quit now. I wouldn't be surprised if you spend a lot of the next month just sitting.
If you go on and get another trucking job, learn from this mistake. Drive when you're loaded. Sleep while you're being unloaded. I know it's hard sometimes. But, that's how the job works. Why do you think so many drivers quit?
Perhaps, you'd be better off and doing a local delivery job in a smaller truck. Route sales, maybe.

Ann and Ed both offer mentoring services on a 1 to 1 basis.
This is what international author and entrepreneur Seth Godin has to say about mentoring (read the original post here)
On the hook
Mentorship works for two reasons. Certainly, the person being mentored gains from advice and counsel and even access to others via introductions, etc.
But mostly, it works because the person with a mentor has a responsibility to stand up and actually get moving."
Contact Ann on 07711 705038 (see a description of services and testimonials here: Mentoring Services )
Contact Ed on 07738436792
Ann says: I'm often asked "What's the difference between a mentor and coach?". To me the biggest difference is in being able to separate the needs of the business from the needs of its owner.
Businesses are unemotional. They don't respond to feelings and work only by the application of logic. If you have the right foundation and do the right things at the right time a business will be successful. People, on the other hand, are always emotional, to a greater or lesser extent and you wouldn't want to spent time with one who isn't!
While I use coaching techniques with the people in the business and have a deep understanding of psychology and motivation I combine this with making sure that there is a practical application of good business practices.
Another distinction is that mentors typically have a large network of contacts and actively employ this asset for the benefit of their clients.

UVa Statistics | Game 3 Box Score | Game 3 Video Highlights | Subscribe to White's Articles
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- For the UVa baseball team, the goal is to win every game, sweep every series. In college baseball, that's an unattainable objective, but the Cavaliers haven't missed the mark by much this year.
A little past the midpoint of the regular season, fifth-ranked Virginia is 25-3 and has won all four of its ACC series, taking at least two of three games from Maryland, Clemson and NC State and, now, Miami.
"That's pretty special," head coach Brian O'Connor said Sunday. "They aren't many people that are winning at that clip. But it's important that we continue to play good baseball and continue to learn and grow as a club."
On a wet Easter afternoon at Davenport Field, the Wahoos suffered a rare defeat. After a first inning in which O'Connor was ejected by home-plate umpire Tom Baldinelli for disputing a questionable call, UVa allowed no runs and only one hit the rest of the way. But the four runs Miami scored in the first held up, as the Hurricanes held on for a 4-3 victory that ended Virginia's nine-game winning streak.
UVa (9-3 ACC) had pounded the `Canes 15-4 on Friday night and 8-1 the next afternoon and came into Sunday's game looking to complete the sweep.
"It's definitely a sour taste in our mouth right now, but the good thing about baseball is that we get to play again on Tuesday," sophomore Nick Howard said.
Virginia takes on Liberty (17-11) in Lynchburg that evening. When the teams met March 13 in Charlottesville, the Cavaliers won 7-2. The rematch at the Flames' new 2,500-seat stadium is sold out, and "it will be a great atmosphere down there," O'Connor said.
UVa returns home to face VMI at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Then comes a weekend series at Wake Forest. Of the four ACC series Virginia will play this month, three (Wake, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech) are on the road.
"We've got some serious challenges in front of us," O'Connor said, "so we'll learn a lot more about our club, I think, in the next four weekends."
O'Connor had to watch the final 8½ innings of Sunday's game from the clubhouse on a video stream. With none out and Miami runners on first and second in the top of the first inning, Baldinelli called a ball after a checked swing by Chantz Mack on a 3-2 pitch from Howard. O'Connor vigorously disagreed, and Baldinelli ejected the Cavaliers' coach, to the displeasure of the fans at Davenport Field, who were already unhappy with the umpiring crew's work.
"Unfortunately, league rules are such that I can't comment on it," O'Connor said afterward, "other than overall there was a lot to overcome in this game, and we just didn't overcome it."
By the time Howard retired the side in the first, Miami had four hits and four runs. The sophomore right-hander acknowledged after the game that the controversial call rattled him.
"But it's my job to overcome that," he said. "Some calls weren't going either team's way, and we both had to deal with that today. I should be better, and I should be there for my team more.
"Obviously it's nice that the coach has your back, but again, it's still my job to throw strikes for my team and keep `em in the game."
UVa pulled to 4-2 in the second on a two-RBI double to right by senior second baseman Reed Gragnani. The Cavaliers scored another run in the sixth, when Miami shortstop Alex Hernandez misplayed a grounder from freshman Joe McCarthy. In the third and again in the fourth, however, the `Hoos left the bases loaded, and they stranded 13 runners in all Sunday.
Howard, who took the loss, was the second UVa starting pitcher to struggle in this series. (Freshman left-hander Brandon Waddell lasted only three innings Friday night.) But relievers Austin Young, Nathan Kirby, Josh Sborz and Kyle Crockett allowed only one baserunner among them Sunday, and Virginia's bullpen did not allow a run in the series.
"That was great to see," O'Connor said Sunday. "And then it comes down to whether you get those clutch hits or not. We've been getting those clutch hits. That's why we've been winning so many games. We didn't get 'em today."
Gragnani said: "We always talk about overcoming adversity, whether it's in practice or anything we do. So none of us panicked or anything like that [after the first inning]. We knew there was a long game left. We didn't feel like four runs was enough for them. But it was, and we'll bounce back."
This is O'Connor's 10th season at UVa, where his record is a staggering 436-152-2. The Cavaliers finished 39-19-1 in 2012, and from that team O'Connor lost pitchers Branden Kline, Shane Halley and Justin Thompson, third baseman Stephen Bruno, shortstop Chris Taylor and second baseman Keith Werman, among others. Moreover, one of Virginia's returning pitchers, Artie Lewicki, is recovering from Tommy John surgery and has yet to play this season.
Because of all that roster turnover, the `Hoos were not ranked in many preseason polls. Once again, though, they appear capable of contending for the ACC title.
The key, O'Connor said Sunday, has been "the consistency of our pitching staff. I don't think you can judge us by Brandon Waddell and Nick Howard's starts this weekend. I think you look at the whole body of work, and how the guys in the bullpen have kind of started to define their roles. A lot of their roles coming into the year were not defined, and we were going to kind of figure it out as we moved along. After two or three weeks of the season, those guys in that bullpen started gravitating to some roles, and now I think you got some really great options out of that bullpen."
As a team, Virginia is batting .315. Standouts at the plate have included sophomores Mike Papi (.472), Branden Cogswell (.377), Brandon Downes (.321), Howard (.318), Nate Irving (.313) and Derek Fisher (.306). McCarthy is batting .313. Gragnani (.286) had nine RBI in the Miami series.
"I like our lineup," O'Connor said. "We showed that we can certainly score runs from different points in our lineup. [Saturday] it was the bottom of the lineup. Other days it's the top of the lineup. A sign of a good ball club is you're not just depending on three or four players to do the run production for you."
And now, after a frustrating end to the Miami series, the Cavaliers' "motivation has to be just to go out there and continue to play good, hard-nosed baseball," O'Connor said. "It's been a trademark in this program for years that we've responded well to difficult times. When we have lost series or we've lost a game, our guys traditionally bounced back, and I've got confidence in them to do that."

With all the zombie stories and clichés going around, I have to ask:
- Why does the virus spread only through zombie-inflicted bites or scratches? When you get a cut, you wash it because to prevent infection. So why doesn't anybody turn that way? You're telling me you can get coated with zombie gore and come out fine, but a bite or scratch from one of them means you're doomed? And what about if you touch a zombie-contaminated surface or something and don't wash it off in some way? Wouldn't that cause some problems?
- Why do zombies need to eat anyway? In the majority of cases, they can't starve, so what's the point?
- Why does everyone end up dying violently? In a big breakdown of society, a lot of people will die from various causes (whether from their own recklessness or just plain bad luck). But how does that equal everyone in these stories ending up dead in violent and gory ways? I can name only two people in the first three seasons Walking Dead who died of natural causes, and even one of those deaths was pretty messy.
- How do the bullets last? Everyone treats guns and bullets like the ultimate zombie killing weapon. But keep in mind that nobody is making more of either. That ammo supply is not infinite. Not to mention the noise it makes, or that it doesn't do you much good to have a gun if you don't have practice using it.
- Why does anyone still use cars? If at least one person in your party doesn't have mechanical knowledge, you don't have the necessary parts to fix it, or you can't get your hands on any gasoline, then you're going to be looking for a new way to get around.
Anything else I might have missed?

Ram Puniyani (Dr) distorts Sikh History
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu1lNspsKRQ&feature=youtu.be&t=5m43s 1. His ignorance of Sikh history or prejudice against Sikhs (from 5 43 to 6 40 minutes) 2. Dr Ram Puniyani is totally ignorant about Sikh history. In his speech (5.43 to 6.40 minutes), he says that Aurangzeb defeated Guru Gobind Singh and the Guru sent his sons for compromise. This is either ignorance of the speaker or it is deliberate distortion. 1. The Guru never had a battle with Aurngzeb. His last battle (1705) was with Hindu hill rulers of Bilaspur and Handur. 2. Guru never sent his sons to Aurangzeb. The Guru's two elder sons (of his four sons) were killed in battle of Chamkaur (7-12-1705) and the youngest two (and their grandmother) were arrested from Saheri village on 8-12-1705. They were presented before Wazir Khan, the Governor of Sarhind, who executed them on 13.-12-1705.

Charles Durning
Actor with Irish roots, he survived wartime trauma to appear in more than 100 films
Charles Durning, who died on Christmas Eve aged 89, was the son of an Irish emigrant and a prolific American character actor in roles ranging from a wartime Nazi colonel to the Pope, but his most celebrated film part was as a comically corrupt state governor in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982).
Stocky and heavyset, he nevertheless demonstrated nifty footwork in the film's show-stopping Sidestep song-and-dance number, a legacy of his early career as a dance instructor. Durning was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on the strength of this, and a year later received another nomination for his portrayal of a bumbling Nazi officer in Mel Brooks' To Be or Not to Be. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Dog Day Afternoon (1975).
Durning started his career on stage, and appeared at the New York Shakespeare Festival. But his breakthrough role was as a small town mayor in the award-winning play That Championship Season in 1972. The following year he made his film debut as the crooked cop stalking two con men, played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford, in the Oscar-winning comedy The Sting.
Dozens of notable screen roles followed. Durning was the would-be suitor of Dustin Hoffman, posing as a female soap opera star in Tootsie (1982); a purveyor of frogs' legs in The Muppet Movie (1979); and Chief Brandon in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy (1990). He also played Pope John XXIII in the made-for-television film I Would be Called John.
In all he appeared in more than 100 feature films, including The Front Page (1974), The Hindenburg (1975), Breakheart Pass (1975), Starting Over (1979) and Spy Hard (1996). On television Durning appeared in the short-lived series The Cop and the Kid (1975), Eye to Eye (1985) and First Monday (2002) as well as Evening Shade (1990-94).
One of 10 children, Charles Durning was born on February 28, 1923 at Highland Falls, New York, near the US military academy at West Point. His father, an Irish immigrant, was unable to work, having lost a leg and been gassed during the Great War, and his mother supported the family by washing the uniforms of West Point cadets.
When he was 12 his father died, and five sisters subsequently succumbed to smallpox and scarlet fever. At high school he was told he had no talent for art, languages or maths and was advised to learn office skills. But after seeing King Kong (1933) and some of James Cagney's films, he knew he wanted to act.
Leaving home at 16, he worked in a munitions factory, and in another making barbed-wire. Eventually he took a job as a theatre usher, and when a comedian turned up too drunk to go on one night, Durning took his place.
Drafted into the US army in 1944, he served with the 386th Anti-aircraft Artillery (AAA) Battalion on D-Day and was the only member of his unit to survive when he went ashore at Omaha Beach in the Normandy landings. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg by a mine.
After recuperating in Britain, Durning returned to active service in December 1944, only to be bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. Captured in the Battle of the Bulge, he survived a massacre of prisoners-of-war. He was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts.
In 2008 Durning received the Legion d'honneur from the French consul in Los Angeles, awarded for distinguished service in France. Later that year he was allotted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next to that of his idol, James Cagney.
After divorcing his first wife, Carol, in 1972, he married his high school sweetheart, Mary Ann Amelio, in 1974. His three children survive him.

US Attorney General Holder was to visit Ferguson, Missouri
Black leaders' question impartiality of head of investigation who has family ties to the police
Protesters gathered outside the building where a grand jury could begin hearing evidence to determine if a while police officer who shot dead an unarmed black teen should be charged, as US Attorney General Eric Holder made his way to the trouble St Louis suburb of Ferguson.
Outside the St Louis County Justice Centre, where the grand jury was expected to convene, two dozen protesters gathered in a circle for a prayer, chanted, and held signs urging prosecutor Bob McCulloch to step aside. Nearly two dozen officers guarded the main entrance.
Watch: Protesters demand the arrest of cop who killed black teen
McCulloch's deep family connections to police have been cited by some black leaders who question his ability to be impartial in the case of Darren Wilson - the white officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, 18, on August 9. McCulloch's father, mother, brother, uncle and cousin all worked for the St Louis Police Department, and his father was killed while responding to a call involving a black suspect.
The prosecutor, who is white, has insisted his background will have no bearing on the handling of the case. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said he would not seek McCulloch's removal, citing the "well-established process" by which prosecutors can recuse themselves to make way for a special prosecutor.
After a string of rancorous nighttime protests, Tuesday night was much more subdued, with smaller crowds, fewer confrontations and no tear gas. Police said they still made 47 arrests, mainly people who defied orders to disperse.
The easing of tensions preceded Holder's visit during which he was to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation, and with community leaders.
In a letter published on the St Louis Post-Dispatch website, Holder promised a thorough investigation while calling for an end to the violence in Ferguson.
The Justice Department has mounted an unusually swift and aggressive response to Brown's death, from conducting an independent autopsy to sending dozens of FBI agents to Ferguson in search of witnesses.
Meanwhile, it was announced yesterday that Brown's funeral would be held on Monday.

I have been an impatient reader for some time now.
Impatient in the sense that I would flip to the last few chapters of a book to know its ending instead of savouring each word the author painstakingly put together.
Lyrebird changed that.
I read every word in the book – but then again, I have always loved the way Cecelia Ahern strings them together.
Ahern brings the story to life, taking readers on a journey that is part exciting and mostly entertaining.
The book begins in a quiet forest, where sound engineer Solomon meets a mysterious woman with an extraordinary talent. Solomon is part of an award-winning documentary crew that captured the story of Joe and Tom Toolin, a 77-year-old pair of twins living in isolation in a remote part of Ireland.
When Tom dies, Solomon, documentary producer Bo – who happens to be his girlfriend – and camerawoman Rachel return to the countryside to film the funeral and to do a follow-up series on Joe, who is now left without a soul by his side.
It is during the filming that they accidentally stumble upon Tom's biggest, and up until then well-kept, secret that changes their lives. Meet Laura.
Lyrebird is an absolute joy to read, especially because Ahern does a near perfect job of keeping the pace and holding the reader's interest along the way. The novel has all of her trademark storytelling features – romance and humour – but most importantly, this story has heart too. And that is perhaps the best quality in all of her works.
Capturing our hearts is the mysterious Laura, who has lived on Toolin's land for over 10 years with Tom's consent and without Joe's knowledge.
A beautiful being with a pure heart, Laura possesses the unique ability to recreate sounds that she hears even just once. Like the native Australian avian lyrebird, hence her nickname.
Intrigued by the finding, Bo pursuits Laura as a documentary subject, putting aside the apparent chemistry between Laura and Solomon. And, boy, is the chemistry strong.
Laura is an interesting character with an even more interesting background. With her future in the countryside undecided, Laura takes up Bo's offer and agrees to be part of her documentary. She ventures into the city looking for a new beginning with the documentary crew tagging along to capture every moment of her new life – even the ones she wants to keep to herself.
Seeing the world outside of the countryside for the first time, Laura's innocence is refreshing and heartbreaking at the same time.
Familiar sounds – like the whirring of an espresso machine or the drilling of a jackhammer or the clacking of keyboards – are alien and absolutely confusing to Laura. Unable to express her feelings verbally, she shares them the only way she knows how, with sounds.
The only person who seems to understand her is Solomon, who tries his best to not get too attached to the otherwordly-like being. But then Bo convinces Laura into trying something that inevitably pushes the once lonely soul into the world's spotlight.
We see Laura's difficulty in grasping her new life, far away from her familiar, secluded cabin, and struggling with her newfound fame as well as her feelings for Solomon.
Ahern beautifully weaves the blossoming love story between Laura and Solomon while reminding readers that he is a good guy incapable of cheating on his girlfriend. Bo has her flaws, and Solomon knows and accepts them all. Readers will too, after some time.
There is more to Lyrebird than just a possible love triangle.
It reminds us that change is inevitable and the only way to cope with it is by rolling with the punches.
Laura's story is proof that even when you embrace these changes, you will never lose the person you truly are.

The PPI Audi R8 Razor GTR, which was delivered to professional skier Jon Olsson just this year, is now being offered for sale. The one-off Audi R8 – a carbonfiber beauty -- is one of the strangest and exciting R8s to have ever been built. An acquired taste for something more extreme is the reason that Olsson gave in a short blog post where he announced that this car is available.
He said that he made this decision after having missed the build process and after visiting the Ascari race track. It's strange since the R8 is already a very extreme vehicle. PPI, which is the tuning firm that built this special model, pushed the R8′s V10 engine to deliver over 600 hp.
Admittedly, cars such as the Lamborghini Aventador have a higher output but then, you'd have to consider that it weighs 3472 lbs. On the other hand, the PPI Audi R8 Razor GTR weighs only 1,320. This is nearly 500 lbs lighter than a Smart ForTwo. To achieve this, PPI and Olsson replaced nearly everything with carbonfiber. It took a lot of time and about €300,000 of parts and labor to make this incredible hypercar with an abundance of overall luxury.
Audi revealed that the R8 model is slated to lead the brand's lineup. This is because in addition to showing new features on the brakes, interior, and exterior, and being fitted with the S-tronic transmission, this high-performance sports car has become more dynamic compared to the previous version. Two styles of the body will be offered for the R8 range which is the Spyder and the Coupe.
Meanwhile the V8 engine that powers the R8 is capable of delivering output at 316 kW (430 hp) with peak torque, available from 4,500 rpm and up to 6,000 rpm, at 430 Nm (317.15 lb.-ft.). When paired with the S-tronic transmissions, the R8 Coupe can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.14 mph) in 4.3 seconds with maximum speed measured at 300 km/h (186.41 mph). In fact with the S-tronic 7-speed transmission, the acceleration is better by 0.3 seconds.
This is not the only enhancement as with the same transmission, CO2 emissions rating is at 22 g/km (35.41 g/mile), making the emissions lower by 0.9 liters for every 100 km. For the new R8, the top model is the R8 V10 Plus capable of delivering output of 404 kW (550 hp) and peak torque of 540 Nm (398.28 lb.-ft.). With the S-tronic, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.14 mph) is within 3.5 seconds while boasting a maximum speed of 317 km/h (196.97 mph).
However this particular version will only be offered as a Coupe. Still, as a result of the brand using ultra-lightweight construction, even when fitted with manual transmission, curb weight stands at 1,570 kg (3,461.26 lbs.). The R8 V10, when fitted with the S-tronic, has a maximum speed of 314 km/h (195.11 mph) with standard acceleration achieved in 3.6 seconds.
This could be due to the output which is at 386 kW (525 hp) with peak torque, available at 6,500 rpm, of 530 Nm (390.91 lb.-ft.). Audi disclosed that all of the R8 models will be equipped with the all-LED headlights and the rear lights meanwhile serves as the introduction of the dynamic turn signals, another dynamic advancement. While the R8 models are equipped with the manual 6-speed transmission, the S-tronic 7-speed transmission fitted serves as replacement of the R-tronic transmission. These transmissions will be offered as standard for all the V10 models.
One feature of this dual-clutch fast-shifting transmission is that it has a launch control function that ensures that traction is optimized when the vehicle is started. Once started, the all-wheel quattro permanent drive system has a rear-axle bias, allowing for swift power delivery.

I totaly would have thought a wax museum would be lame and boring. O.M.G it's anything but! You can go in there and wear costumes and stuff and pose next to the celebrities and ...
All reviews seem positive
The Scoop The $20 million Madame Tussaud's is located on the second level of the St. Mark's Library Building in the Venetian Resort and Casino. Each figure costs $20,000 to $40,000 to produce. The "celebrities" are assembled in five different areas. A special VIP party area, "The Big Night," is an excuse to gather unlikely wax celebs such as Whoopi Goldberg and Jerry Springer. "Sports Arena" is of course the spot for wax athletes like Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali. Music figures gather in the "Rock and Pop" area. The Locals The big draw will be the "Las Vegas Legends" room, where Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, and other cool cats are poised to perform. The "Celebrity Encounter" encourages visitors to "rub elbows" with the stars. Go ahead and roll up those sleeves, and don't worry: the museum is air conditioned against those 110 degree days.

A never-heard-before coffee shop is set to open in Switzerland.
The coffee shop is one of its kind because customers (who are going to be men) can receive oral sex while they have their drink. The oral treatment will be given to the men by robots or real life prostitutes. The outlet which will open by next month will make men pick the kind of prostitute/robot the desire on an iPad after they have gotten their cups of coffee.
Customers will pay more than £40 (N22,000) for the hot drink and sex act. But the cafe is yet to receive the seal of approval from authorities in Geneva, the company behind the plans say they could use sex robots instead of women to carry out the services on offer.
Bradley Charvet from Facegirl told The Local that he had already been in contact with an American firm that manufactures the lifelike robot-women that cost up to £2,400. He estimates that between six and eight robots would be installed in the cafe. Facegirl said men would order what they want and then sit at the bar.
READ ALSO: See sex robots with functional vagina made for shy men (photo)
'In five or ten minutes, it's all over,' Charvet told newspaper Le Matin.
According to The Local , prostitution is legal in Switzerland with sex workers required to have permits to operate. It reports that businesses must register as massage parlours if two or more prostitutes are working there.

I have no idea my man, but I tried an experiment last night I started my pc , did not connect to any networks , locked down my firewall, made sure network discovery was off and file sharing, I had installed Norton 360 version 6 then opened paint and wrote something only someone spying on you would be able to see, and I heard them read it out which should be impossible right with a locked down firewall??? So I grabbed my reinstall disc of windows 7 and did a fresh custome install just as brink shown us in his tutorials but I stopped before adding a username and password and I could hear them talking about it whilst I was reinstalling, she clearly took offence to what I had typed as she then kept me awake for 1hr plus late at night by continually setting her washing machine to the noisiest to keep me awake this was at midnight and did so for 8 or 9 times. What I need to do is allow an expert to gather all the data they need to see what they are doing illegally on my laptop and desktop as what ever they are doing must be leaving traces somewhere if you know where to look right? I am more than willing for someone to do this to get an explanation from all this as what they are doing is illegal and needs to be stopped but who can I contact?

"Ward 24"
About: Wexham Park Hospital Wexham Park Hospital Slough SL2 4HL
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
We were admitted to ward 24 due to our 9 week old baby being poorly. The doctors and nurses were excellent. They were very professional, they acted quickly and explained what was happening throughout and answered any questions. They were kind to my husband and I during this stressful time and I couldn't praise them enough, thank you very much you do an amazing job!!

Beat Blues to forget Cup loss: Arjen Robben
German champions Borussia Dortmund sealed the domestic double with a 5-2 rout of Bayern at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
"We have to win the title against Chelsea next week and then we can forget about the defeat against Dortmund," said the former Real Madrid winger. "Losing 5-2 hurts a lot and I can't explain that performance. We're frustrated now, but our focus is on the Champions League final now."
