For Cartersville native Lindsay Bourdon Menerey, the road to becoming a pro was unique and filled with obstacles along the way.
However, Bourdon Menerey is now within weeks of realizing the dream of becoming a professional athlete as she is a member of the D.C. Brawlers of the National Pro Grid League, a new sport that will begin its inaugural season Aug. 26.
"I think that's going to be one of the coolest experiences out of all of this. I never thought being a professional athlete would happen in my life, so it's kind of cool that it's all coming down to this and this is my way into professional athletics," she said. "To actually get to travel to these cities and compete, it's a dream come true."
The National Pro Grid League is strategic team athletics racing in which two co-ed teams (five men and five women, one of each over 40 years old) compete head-to-head throughout a season. The two-hour matches have 11 races with fixed rules and unlimited substitutions. Teams compete directly against their live opponent to determine the win or loss.
"Each race has its own rules, but you can sub players in and out, kind of like you would do in a basketball game," Bourdon Menerey described. "There is a lot of movement of sport, very explosive, high intensity — lifting weights, all the way from Olympic lifting to power lifting to your most technical barbell movements, essentially all the way down the line to gymnastics movements. There's gymnastics rolls on the rings, muscle ups and high reps pull-ups, and stuff you would do as a gymnast.
"Each coach can strategize how they want their players to stack up in that race, so a race can entail moving from quadrant to quadrant and doing 10 front squats per quadrant and the next three can be some gymnastics movements and a barbell movement. You just never know. They change all the time. They have a plethora of movements to them, just a lot of changing around and fun to watch."
Bourdon Menerey's unique journey began with an 18-year background in gymnastics, which included five Level 10 Junior Olympic National Championship appearances. She won two second-place all-around finishes at the Level 10 Junior Olympic Nationals in high school and qualified as a two-time USA Junior Olympic Team member. She received a full scholarship to the University of Michigan, but her career was cut short after four ankle surgeries.
After her time at Michigan, Bourdon Menerey went into CrossFit. She is now the co-owner of CrossFit Adrenaline in Cartersville.
CrossFit is a physical exercise philosophy and a competitive fitness sport. CrossFit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity training, including olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, calisthenics, strongman and other exercises.
"After I got out of my career with gymnastics, I felt like how everyone feels when they get out of athletics. You kind of don't really know where you stand as far as the fitness regiment goes and looking for something more than just going to the gym and running on a treadmill and lifting some weight," Bourdon Menerey said of why she got into CrossFit. "I found CrossFit and loved it. I was good at it with my gymnastics background and kind of ran away with it from there."
Bourdon Menerey certainly took to the sport as her team came in third place at the 2013 CrossFit games. The team also finished in second place in the Southeast Regionals in 2012 and 2013, and finished first in 2014.
Her success at gymnastics and CrossFit made her an ideal candidate for the new NPGL and she was recruited to join the D.C Brawlers.
"I didn't really know too much about it when [Brawlers head coach Justin Cotler] brought it to the table," Bourdon Menerey said of Grid. "He had me research it and said that 'you would be a good candidate for this stuff.' That day I looked into it and loved it. It's totally up my alley."
The Brawlers are ranked as the preseason No. 1 in the eight-team NPGL. The team will play its games out of the Patriot Center, where the George Mason basketball team plays its home games in Washington, D.C. Other cities in the league include, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Miami and San Francisco.
The Brawlers' first game is Aug. 26 in Phoenix.
"I fully believe that Justin Cotler has done an amazing job with our team, so we're excited to see what's going to unfold in the first season," Bourdon Menerey said. "I think you have to look at it as being a paid professional athlete. If you're going to do that job, you need to put your whole heart into that. Hopefully, the season will go really well. It's going to be a new experience for all of us athletes, so we're very excited to take on the new sport."

The first official trailer for Seth Rogan and James Franco's new comedy 'The Interview', dropped last week, and amongst the reviews of "I can't wait, this looks hilarious!" and "Oh look another stoner movie, made by stoners, for stoners.", a surprising and possibly unexpected-official response from North Korea, denouncing the movie, happened.
Sony Pictures' synopsis of the movie is this:
In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show "Skylark Tonight." When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
In an interview of their own, with The Telegraph, a spokesman for the Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un, had some very interesting things to say about the movie and America in general.
"A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine, and let us not forget who killed Kennedy – Americans."
Ooookay crazy-train, let's dial it back a notch. Magneto killed JFK, if you'd watch X-Men Days of Future Past, you'd know that…DUH.
"In fact, President Obama should be careful in case the US military wants to kill him as well."
Yes, this sounds completely reasonable, coming from the guy who's best friend is Dennis Rodman. President Obama should also be wary of Colonel Mustard in the study, with the lead pipe.
The spokesperson went on to dismiss Hollywood movies as being "full of assassinations and executions", clearly he's talking about Frozen. He even said that British films are better and more realistic. Clearly he's talking about Harry Potter.
"James Bond is a good character and those films are much more enjoyable."
Obviously he's never seen 'Casino Royale' from 1967. Also, in 2002 when 'Die Another Day' was released, Kim Jong-un's father denounced the movie as "Dirty and Cursed". I completely understand where Kim is coming from, here. My pops is a huge fan of Lifetime Christmas movies, and I think they are dirty and cursed…you would too, if you were forced to watch the Lifetime Channel 24/7 from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
This isn't the first time a movie has poked fun at North Korea. In 2004, the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, wrote, directed and produced 'Team America: World Police'. Although Kim Jong-il never officially commented on the movie, North Korea did ask the Czech Republic to ban the film.
The lesson here is, if you are going to be a dictator, then you should have thicker skin…MERICA F**K YEAH!
Take a look at the trailer for 'The Interview' and leave a comment in the section below. Tell me what you think about North Korea's response.

Welcome to the Detoxing Green Diva Blog! My name is Linda and I'm so excited to share with you the important tips and health products that I've found over the past few years. These tips have significantly helped in healing my body, from the inside out. I work as RN and only a daily basis, I see the consequences of poor nutrition and stress on the body. I believe that obesity, some mental, and physical illnesses are a result of the body being deficient of certain nutrients and it's crying out for help. Being sick leads to a vicious cycle of symptoms, taking multiple meds to alleviate them, the meds then causing major side effects and new symptoms, and then you're prescribed another new med. I also believe if we give our bodies the right nutrients and care, it can be strong enough to heal itself. There's a BIG misconception on health nowadays. I feel like it's my duty to share with you what I have learned on my road of discovery about nutrition and holistic health. This knowledge can help change your life and the life of others. Do not be overwhelmed with all the info. Do what you can and have belief that every little counts. I hope you too will see the changes in your body, like I did with mine.
Go Raw-
I love the Go Raw seeds and snacks. It's a family owned company that does the work for us by using sprouted seeds in their products. Soaking seeds activates production of beneficial enzymes. Raw nuts have enzyme inhibitors neutralized by soaking and grains have a outer layer called phytic acid which block the absorption of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc. So thats why it's recommended to soak/sprout seeds, nuts, and grains in filtered water, using a mason jar, for 24-48 hours (depending on what your soaking). You'll get the maximum nutrition from these 3 whole food sources of protein and they will also be easier to digest.
Eat Light to Heavy-
Kimberly Snyder, celebrity nutritionist, states in her book that In today's society, people are told to eat a hearty breakfast, so that they can have energy and the rest of the day to burn it off. False! Breakfast is important but what you eat is more important. If you notice, after eating a heavy meal, that "full" feeling causes your body to feel sluggish/tired. That is not good. Food should give you energy and not just satisfy your hunger then make you crash. Starting from the last bite from the night before and throughout the night, your body is detoxing. That's why we wake up with crust around our eyes, body odors, and bad breath. Eeek! You're body detoxing is a good thing. But once you eat something unhealthy, your body stops detoxing bc it has transfer it's energy to start breaking down whatever you're eating. Snyder states that it is important to eat a healthy protein free breakfast. She recommends drinking water with lemon, fruit/veg juice, and if you're still hungry, gluten free bread w/ butter. When lunch comes around you can have a heavier meal. Make sure you eat light to heavy. That means start off first with the type of food mostly composed of water, to more dense foods. Fruits digest in 30-45 mins, starches 3-4 hours, and meat takes even longer. For example, you should eat fruit, then a salad, carbs, then meat. I know that sounds like a inconvenience but the reasoning behind it is, if you start eating a protein first, your body is working more than 3-4 hours to break it down. So if you eat fruit or less dense food after that, you cause a traffic jam. Resulting in food waiting in your stomach fermenting (rotting). That fermentation causes bloating, acid reflux, etc. The way we eat is just the way society has taught us to believe that's normal. So if you keep this in mind, you will slowly grow accustomed to it. Your body will thank you bc you will be saving energy and causing easy digestion flow. This will also help you loose weight bc you're digesting food properly and moving it along your body to prevent constipation.So think about the light to heavy tip for the whole day and also each individual meal.
What vitamins should women take?
This is a chart of recommended supplements for women. The supplements I see missing are the digestive enzymes and probiotics. Also, if you have a specific health issue, there may be a supplement you can take, instead of a med that can cause side effects. I firmly believe your body is strong enough to heal itself, if its given the right nutrients. Make sure to take these supplements with a balanced diet.
Dry Brushing is brushing your skin with upward long strokes, towards your heart. The upward strokes will stimulate your lymph and circulation. Here is a site that gives you step by step instructions. This is a great technique to learn just in time to prep your skin for summer :)
Wheatgrass Facts-
1- drinking 1oz is equivalent to eating 3.5 lbs of greens
2-liver and blood detoxifier
3-good for your hair, skin, and sweetens your breath
4-can be applied topically for burns and skin irritations
5-helps with anemia and high blood pressure
6- very alkaline
7-good for digestion
8- one of the best living sources of chlorophyll
I try to drink a ounce of fresh wheatgrass everyday, at Robeks, to help my body detox. As you can see, there are many health benefits of wheatgrass. Be careful not to start drinking too much, too fast. The first time I took a shot, I had huge headache afterwards. It scared me bc I don't get headaches or have any allergies. Come to find out, its such a potent detoxifier, that my body was reacting to the detoxification. Now I have no problem taking it. If you guys are wondering what is tastes like, it tastes like how it looks and smells, like grass.
Superfoods by David Wolfe AKA Avocado-
I read this book by David Wolfe who is a known in the raw food community as a the Guru. The book is about the super-foods of the world. Wolfe states the super-foods include cacao ( real dark chocolate), green algae, chia seeds, maca, hemp seeds, acai, honey, and goji berries. He says you can eat pounds of other fruits and veggies but it would not compare to the benefits when eating a little amount of these super-foods. Believe it or not, I ordered most of the super-foods on amazon so that I can put it in my smoothies. They were definitely good boosters.
What does your tongue say about your health?
Did you know that your tongue is a mirror image of what is going on inside your body? According to Ayurvedic studies, your tongue is a map of all your organs and can be used as a diagnostic tool. Whatever issues you have going on internally, you will see on your tongue. There are also pulse, facial, lips , nail, and eye diagnostic tools. Cool huh?! Check out this site to see what your tongue says about your health.
Rules to live by the Dalai Lama-
I've reached a point in my life where I realized money and material goods are becoming less important to me. True inner peace is what I'm trying to achieve in life. I have learned it all starts in your mind, the way you think, and the way you act. Life can be hard, money is always needed, and I'm still trying to control my lavish ways. Im trying to look at everything as a lesson learned and practicing forgiveness. Easier said then done, I know. True wealth is good health and inner peace. Also, means being content and cherishing life for what is really offers. It's easy to get caught up in the fakeness and superficiality in today's society. So the Dalai Lama gives us rules to keep in my mind as we grow in life.
Following the food combining model will help prevent digestion problems like acid reflux, bloating, and gas. When you mix certain types of food together, you jam your digestion flow. For example, its not good to eat a protein and a carb together, like steak and potatoes. It takes acidic stomach secretions to break down the protein and alkaline stomach secretions to break down the starch. When the two secretions mix, it creates a neutralizing environment in your stomach. The neutralizing results in food not being digested thus, fermenting (rotting) in your stomach….gross! It takes your body hours and a lots of energy to digest that combination. It's also recommended to eat fruit on a empty stomach, wait 3-4 hours in between meals, and to eat greens with or before protein, so that the veggie's enzymes can aid your body in digestion. Conserve your body's energy so that it can be used for other important functions, like healing and protecting. Go to the site below to find out more about the food combining theory.

Alice Lipowicz reports on a survey of journalists who say that federal agencies almost always restrict access to agency officials for interviews.
An agency's public affairs department can be either a blessing or a curse for a journalist, sometimes a bit of each. The release of the survey provides an opportunity to offer some tips for public affairs officers who want to help get their agency's message out. (Sometimes the PAO's job is to try to prevent reporters from getting access or information; the tips below won't be of much help in those cases.)
* Make officials available as quickly as possible. Reporters work on deadlines, and if you can line up an interview appointment two days after the deadline passes, it does no good.* While monitoring the interview, let the interviewee answer the questions. Speak up if the interviewee misspeaks, or to fill in data that the interviewee doesn't have at his fingertips, but otherwise sit back and let the agency official do most of the talking. * Respond quickly if a reporter needs a few facts for an article, or to clarify something said in an earlier interview. Again, time is usually a factor, especially for reporters writing for an online news site or daily newspaper. * Don't ask to see an article before publication. Most reputable media outlets won't allow this, but most reporters will be happy to discuss specific points where you might be concerned about a misunderstanding.* Be pro-active about promoting positive news, including offering officials for interviews. The media is often accused of never covering the good news, but that is in part because people don't let us know when there is good news. We're not mind-readers. Well, not most of us.
* A reporter's relationship to the organizations on which he or she reports can sometimes be adversarial. Our job is to inform the public, not necessarily to make a particular agency look good. But most reporters are responsible professionals who aren't interested in sensationalizing the news. We appreciate candor, and we need responsiveness, and we try to report fairly and accurately. A good public affairs officer can play a pivotal role in making that possible.

As an avid reader and listener of the news from many sources for over 35 years as well as being in contact with people from groups being reported on, I can tell you that the typical journalist has no problem twisting what is really going on to either sensationalize the news or to add their personal bias to the point that their reports to the public are just a shadow of the truth. Often they show no respect to those they report on. Until the so-called journalists develop a strong sense of honesty and other morals for their profession, I do not see a strong need to cooperate with most of them.
You need to survey the public affairs specialists on the crap journalists pull. -- Seen it from both sides now.
You should really consider spending a few weeks in the role of a public affairs officer. For an unbiased perspective. It may change your opinion on "most reporters are responsible professionals who aren't interested in sensationalizing the news."

While there may be many things to see and do downtown, the heavy traffic and numerous one-way streets can make Los Angeles parking a nightmare. But have no fear, we have all your parking troubles covered. Reserve a spot now near LA Live here, the Nokia Theater here, or the Staples Center here. Click on any of the various links below to find the best parking spots in each district of Downtown LA.
Searching for parking in a specific neighborhood? Click the links below to get the best parking spots in Downtown Los Angeles.
Tons of Parking: There are so many parking lots and garages in Downtown LA, you can barely go one block without passing one, or two, or three! If the lot closest to your destination is full or too expensive, drive one or two blocks away and you will most likely find a cheaper and empty lot just a short walk away.
Street Parking: There are tons and tons of street meters around Downtown LA, but their rates and hours can range from $0.50-$5.75 per hour depending on where and when you park. Street parking gets more expensive during the afternoon and peak rush hour times, with some streets becoming no-parking zones during those times. Make sure to read all the signs before leaving your vehicle to avoid getting a ticket!
Real Time Availability: Almost every parking lot, garage, and meter are automated in Downtown. You can check the ParkMe map to get the real time occupancy of all the lots so you know which ones will have the most available spaces. There is even real time data on street meters, so you know on which blocks you will have the best chance at finding a spot.
Pro Tip 1: Park your car for free at any of the Metro rail lots. All the lines connect to the downtown Red Line Subway. The frequent DASH bus will also take you to nearly all the downtown hotspots.
Pro Tip 2: If you drive an electric car, park in the lot on Jesse Street and Mateo Street. It is a lot specifically made for electric cars and powers several electric car chargers.
The City of Los Angeles controls almost 49,000 parking spaces so it is no wonder that the Los Angeles DOT traffic officers issue more than 3 million parking tickets each year. Once parking tickets are issued, the Parking Violations Bureau is in charge of collecting over $500 million of penalties. Tickets cost between $60-$80 for the most common violations like parking during street cleaning, but other violations like parking in a bus lane can cost upward of $300. Here are some tips to help you avoid getting parking tickets in Los Angeles and information on what to do if you have already gotten one.
There are more than 150 types of parking tickets but the most common reasons for getting parking tickets in Los Angeles include parking at an expired meter or on a restricted street on street cleaning day. The worst tickets that you can get in Los Angeles are parking in a bus zone, which costs $293, and parking in a disabled space illegally which results in a penalty of $363. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with all of the Los Angeles parking ticket types and fines and you'll think twice before illegally parking your car.
Parking illegally will result in an expensive ticket but it might also result in your car getting booted or towed. Parking in front of a fire hydrant, bus stop or obstructing traffic (peak hours, street cleaning, double parking, etc) can all result in getting towed in Los Angeles which can cost an additional $200-$300. You may also be towed if you have more than 5 delinquent parking tickets. If your vehicle gets towed you can get more information about getting your car back here.
In Los Angeles, your vehicle will be booted if you get more 3 outstanding parking tickets. If your vehicle gets booted, you must pay your delinquent tickets and an additional $150 boot fee within 72 hours in order to have the boot removed. For complete information on getting a boot removed check out the LA Parking Violations Bureau's boot removal instructions.
If you do end up getting a ticket and have no interest in contesting it there are 4 ways to pay for your violation; online, by mail, by phone, and in person. If you wait more than 14 days to pay your ticket a late payment penalty will be added.
Paying LA Parking Tickets- Online:
You can pay your Los Angeles parking ticket online with a credit card by following these steps. Please note that if you pay online you will be charged a $2 processing fee.
Paying LA Parking Tickets- By Mail:
You can follow the instructions on the back of your parking ticket to pay by mail. Your ticket should have included a pre-addressed payment envelope which you should use to send in payment. Make sure that you send your payment in with enough time to get to the City of Los Angeles before the 14 day deadline or you will incur a late penalty. Follow these steps to pay by mail:
1) Fill out the required information like name, address, etc.
2) Enclose a check or a money order for the full amount of your ticket. DO NOT SEND CASH!
3) Mail payment to:
Parking Violations Bureau
P.O. Box 30420
Los Angeles, CA 90030
The city will send you a receipt when they receive your payment to keep for your records.
Paying LA Parking Tickets- By Phone
You can also save some time by paying for your ticket by phone. Just call (866) 561-9742 then use your MasterCard or VISA credit card to pay through the automated telephone system. This service can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This method is faster and more convenient but they also charge a $2 per ticket convenience fee.
Paying LA Parking Tickets- In Person
Find and visit any Walk-In Customer Service Center to pay by cash, check, money order or credit card. Just like the previous 3 payment methods. If you do not pay or request a hearing by the 14th day, a penalty of late fee penalty will be added to your fine and additional penalties will accrue until you respond.
Some Walk-In Customer Service Center locations include:
Mid-Wilshire – 3333 Wilshire Blvd.
West Los Angeles - 9911 West Pico Blvd, #B-201
Van Nuys - 6309 Van Nuys Blvd., #103

3. Provide a citizens statement explaining why you are innocent then click "SUBMIT"
4. A decision will be made and you will be contacted within 14 days

You can also contest a parking ticket through the mail. Make sure to collect evidence to support your case then follow these steps:
1) Write a letter explaining why your should be found not guilty of the violation including the citation #
2) Attach evidence like photos or police reports to the letter

-Get there early in case there are lines

New X-Men: Days of Future Past image reveals Magneto's new suit
A new image from X-Men: Days of Future Past has revealed our first proper peek at Magneto's snazzy armoured new suit. And it's somewhat of an upgrade from the purple cape and onesie he was rocking in X-Men: First Class. While the cape's still there, it's much more of a sturdy, armour-plated suit then we've seen previously – and Michael Fassbender looks like he means business. It's another neat addition to what's looking like an already packed movie, as Bryan Singer brings the multi-award winning, mahoosive casts of both X-Men movie incarnations together for what could be the merry mutants' most epic outing yet. Check out the image below, let us know what you think in the comments, and then make sure to run through our trailer breakdown for the movie's inaugural mood-setter.

Swansea City v Arsenal Live
Available on 9 channels inside the members area!!!
An interesting Round 6 fixture pits Swansea against league leaders Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium. Join Free-football.tv and see Swansea vs Arsenal live streaming online as it happens.
The Gunners have jumped to the top of the table after a loss on the opening day of the season and beat Stoke 3-1 last weekend. Mesut Ozil was hugely influential in this fixture and the Gunners outplayed the Potters at set pieces, usually the latter's area of strength. Liverpool's loss to Southampton saw the Gunners move to the top of the table, with rivals Spurs behind on goal difference.
Arsenal also beat West Bromwich Albion 4-3 on penalties in the League Cup. Thomas Eisfeld scored their only goal in normal time, with left back Nacho Monreal scoring the winning penalty.
Swansea aren't faring too shabbily either, currently sitting in 9th spot, behind Man Utd on goal difference. The Swans did however suffer a blow of sorts in midweek, losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace in the League Cup as their defence of the trophy came to an early end.
Will the Swansea City upset the Gunners? Watch Swansea vs Arsenal live online streaming with Free-football.tv and find out.

Bass Oboe Appreciation Post
For friends unaware that the bass oboe is a real thing! In the key of C, one octave below a regular oboe. Sometimes used in place of Heckelphone (an instrument with similar range), but most often rented out for "The Planets", where it is heard in Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There is very little repertoire, including one concerto.

If the Druitt Hall was donated to the people of Christchurch then what right have the council to make a decision on the demolition? The hall surely belongs to the people of Christchurch and NOT the council.
The majority of people voting in favour of alternatives to the impending demolition far exceeds the number of councillors who decided the demolition should go ahead.

Check your faucet aerators for bits of debris, that would be you dip tube gone if it is metal or plastic. If you have hard water, it could just be minerals.The problem with putting in a new dip tube is you must have head room over the water heater that equals the length of the water heater. The bigger issue is the old tube is still lying on the bottom adding bits of plastic to your water supply.So, if the dip tube is gone, new water heater since yours is 12 years old. Disconnect the cold supply to find out.»www.ronhazelton.com/tips/faulty_···lacement
From what Ive seen, you should NOT be attempting this.Repairs always cost more after the homeowner fucks it up.just a warning-j--if it aint broke, tweak it!!currently on FiOS (kick aZZ!)

Ryan Roberts' walk-off grand-slam in the bottom of the tenth at Chase Field last night was pure silliness. I must of watched the replay on my computer 10-15 times. For a second, I almost got choked up watching it cause I thought it was so awesome. As Roberts looks to the dugout, he points, and multiple times whips out the Gibby fist-pump. Classic. In a 2011 that saw the Arizona Diamondbacks win every way imaginable, last night's victory took the cake for them.
You also got two wild-card chases, deadlocked on the final day of the regular season – which could incorporate a monumental collapse at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, one the baseball's most fabled franchises. Both of these are two, humongous stories.
But for me, with all that being said, the Tampa Rays are "the story" today. This wasn't supposed to be their year, and they are right on the door-step of a postseason spot with one game left. It's remarkable.
(Pause)…..Apologies. {just one more view of the D-Backs walk-off. Ahhh, sooo good.}
Tampa Lost a Gold-Glover and a Silver slugger, that chipped in 19 homers, 47 swipes and 90 RBIs this past offseason in Carl Crawford. They lost 45 saves and a guy with a .802 WHIP in Rafael Soriano. They lost last year's most dominant set-up man in Joaquin Benoit. And finally, they also traded away Matt Garza.
So how the hell did they come this far, with the wilder beasts of the AL East breathing down their necks on a regular basis? New York and Boston practically have the ability to print their own money, and buy whoever they want. And the Rays are standing here with a $39.1 million payroll.
Well, first off, they had the starting pitching to compete on a nightly basis. David Price and James Shields are two quiet super-stars, and the rookie Jeremy Hellickson grew up very fast. Bullpen wise, they pieced together a back end with the 35-year-old vets Kyle Farnsworth and Joel Peralta. They've been rock solid.
How the offense came together is another story. They had the stones to sign the aging 37-year-old Johnny Damon to a $5.25 million deal. They plugged him in at DH, and found to an extent, the guy is still productive.
They got an off-the-charts first month and a half out of Sam Fuld. Essentially a "throw in" piece in the Garza trade from the Cubs, Fuld lit it up at the plate, and helped carry the offense for the first stretch of the season.
In 2009, Tampa made a real interesting trade with my Detroit Tigers. They sent a promising arm in Edwin Jackson to Motown, for at the time, a fourth outfielder in Matt Joyce. In his limited time playing for the Tigers, he flashed the ability to hit the baseball on the nose, but in real small doses. In 2011, the move started to pay high dividends, as Joyce became one the Rays' leaders on offense. Now Joyce did cool off in September, but he hit a monster home-run last night in a big spot.
You've got the talented home-grown center fielder in B.J. Upton, who everybody expected the Rays to deal at the dead-line, but they never did. Perhaps, did the Rays front office feel their was a chance Boston would fold late in the season, and Tampa would have a small window to crawl back? Maybe. Maybe that's why Upton stayed. Once again, Tampa did something weird that panned out.
Finally, you have Evan Longoria and the recently called up mega-prospect Desmond Jennings. Great players. I'll assume I don't need to say much about them.
The Rays front office continues to look like wizards even after we figured 2011 would be a chilled out year for them. If the Rays squeak into the postseason, that would make three playoff appearances in the last four years, including a World Series birth.
Even with the tiny payroll. Even with baseball's two biggest organizations chugging along in their face, the Rays are building themselves a little dynasty. And the best part is, nobody really understands how their doing it.
Maybe this is the future of baseball. Prior to every season, just maybe, when we're talking baseball with friends, we'll say things like "Well, you know the Rays will be good this year…."

Rome, Italy was my second sojourn into Europe. Having visited Paris the year prior, I thought myself very fortunate to be going back so quickly. I had been intrigued with Rome for awhile, mostly through the lens of a movie camera.

The 8 things that surprised me during my trip to Rome, Italy
A Review of Gatlinburg Falls Resort in Tennessee
I have always believed that you can find little hidden treasures close to home. I think Gatlinburg Falls Resort is one such treasure. It is located approximately six miles from the little town of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with only the Smoky Mountains National Park separating the two.
The Top Five Things to Do in Amsterdam in 24 Hours
I have to admit, before my visit in November, my impression of Amsterdam was that it was a party town, a place to score mary jane and watch lots of live porn. Mind you, this was coming from a very uninformed point of view. The Amsterdam that I actually witnessed is the polar opposite.
A Review of two sisters, The Hotel Taylor and Hotel L'Annexe in Paris, France
There is nothing more comforting when you visit a city far away from home than knowing that your newer and more temporary digs offers you that same warmth and familiarity. I felt that way as soon as I found my way to the second and third hotels that we would be staying at in Paris, France.
A Review of the Hotel Paradis in Paris, France
There's one truth about large cities. There are lots of hotels. Lots. There will never be a shortage of them but there always seem to be a shortage of recommendations of which may be the best ones to stay at. I had the chance to stay at a hotel in Paris called Hotel Paradis. Paradise. That's a lot to live up to and I was anxious to see how close the experience would come to it.
Introducing Cloud Nine Living
I'm not going to lie. I love gadgets, trinkets and thingamabobs as much as the next person. However, there comes a time when you figure out that you have more than enough 'things' and that you've reached a saturation point. Never does this become more clear than when you are trying to find the perfect gift for someone who seems to have it all. Or perhaps they do not.

oil in water?
oil in water?
ok, so I had some leaking out of the rear valve cover gasket, as well as some out of the seal where the dist. would be if it was on the front head. (2vz-fe 2.5 V6)
so I took it all apart, replaced the gaskets and put some silicone by that seal and while I was there replaced the T-belt and pulleys. (124k) I get it all back together and notice the coolant is orangeish brown, but a consistent color like its something that will mix with water well. so I got the car warmed up, cranked the heat, and then completely removed the drain on the bottom of the radiator and put the hose in the top of the radoiator, water coming out was the orange color and eventually started to come out clear. but then the second I remove the hose it is back coming out orange, flushed to clear, and remove hose and orange again. I mean I was there forever with the hose and it never stayed clear, so it couldnt have been just recontaminating itself once I removed the hose, because I would also remove the hose and let it drain almost all the way before I put the hose on, just in case I was only blowing water through the radiator and not letting any water come back into the radiator through the hoses.
so its torn down again farther than before and headgaskets were fine, cant see any visible cracks in the block or heads, removed radiator and pressure tested the atf cooling and it doesnt bleed off into the radiator.
and when the orange fluid sits somewhere and dries/evaps it leaves a nice orange spot, but it doesnt really smell like oil. could it be that it just takes FOREVER to flush the cooling system? and what does a little oil/lot of water mix like?
You don't mention if your engine was running while you were flushing the radiator, which it should be. This will allow the water pump to circulate the water through the engine passages and the heater core...this is likely where the extra coolant is coming from. Also make sure your heater temp control knob is turned all the way to hot to open the circulating valve for the heater core.
You also don't mention your car's year or even type (you're posting in the Camry forum but your signature doesn't mention you having one...just a curious oddity). I ask because orange coolant is usually DEX-COOL, used in GM vehicles after 1996. Toyota used the classic green stuff, but there is also a "global" type that is yellow-colored.
Orange-tinged and opaque is usually a sign of rust accumulation OR the mixing of two different coolant types. Check your owner's manual or a repair manual for the correct type to use.
Just adding water through the radiator and letting it drain right out doesn't do much to flush. It should be filled, circulated @ temperature (to allow the thermostat to open), and then drained. AS a last resort, a mild flushing agent may be used but be careful that some use organic acids to remove scale deposits which can corrode aluminum radiators. I've used one that then caused coolant to mix with the transmission fluid (dual-core radiator). There are two block drain plugs located on either side of the V6 (one on the firewall side of the I-4)...removing those will also help drainage, but not required unless you REALLY want a complete flush.

"I ask because orange coolant is usually DEX-COOL, used in GM vehicles after 1996. Toyota used the classic green stuff, but there is also a "global" type that is yellow-colored."
Toyota actually uses a factory coolant that is red in color. Did you use a green colored coolant? If you were to drain only the radiator of this OEM red colored coolant and not the block, and then refill with green coolant, you may get a brownish colored coolant mixture. Red and green mix to make brown.
I had a thought that Toyota used a red color but wouldn't commit. Strange choice since transmission fluid is also red and the two are flowing through the radiator at the same time...both clear, and both red...I guess it would turn opaque once it got churned up by the water pump.
well, I do have "cranked the heat" in the first post, but yeah, I didnt tell you what model year, its that 90 v6 in my sig, its my moms car now, we traded but then this came up. I got the car a couple years ago and cant remember if i flushed it or not when i got it, i did everything else so I probably did, and I just use the green stuff, and yes the engine was running. I took the heads in and the guy said it was rust but when you look at the head gasket, there is a spot where you can tell fluid could pass from 3 ports into each other, I know 2 were water anyways, and the other one leads to a port to the intake manifold. but for some reason I think thats water also. so hes checking em out closer and might mill them for me.

Our daughter Sarah was on her way home from her Cross Fit morning workout(12-19-13) and was driving down Montgomery Road. She saw a young boy, about 13, running down the street crying and trying to flag down the bus he had just missed. She pulled over to ask the young boy if he would like a ride. She told him her name and said that she would take him to his destination. He hesitated but saw that Sarah was sincere and got into the car. The young boy told her that he woke up five minutes late, his parents already gone to work and knew he had to hurry to catch the bus. He also told her that he had a Latin exam and that he was going to celebrate Christmas at his school with his friends at Walnut Hills High School.
Long story short, Sarah got him to school on time and the young boy could not thank her enough. She drove off feeling very relieved knowing he would be able to take his exam and celebrate with his friends.
It's times like this, with all the negativity around us on a daily basis, that someone takes the time to help someone. We are so proud of her.

(Thinking about mine's and others' past experiences on this matter)
Friendship is what makes you a better person. It what makes you realize your faults, your qualities and your reasoning. We have those special people in our lives to help advance in our journey. We let them in our lives for an alternative perspective for which we fail to see. However, we are all still human beings which we react on emotions. These emotions can cause irreversible damage to those who you once consider a friend.
At one point in our lives, we'll lose contact with someone we consider a close/good/best friend. And then something happens and that once close friendship fades away. Then you lay back one day and ask yourself "what happened?" As time goes by, our memory fades into obscurity. Most people will not remember that argument,lie, no communication after parting ways or even a personal belief that you didn't agree with. What if that former friend was gone? Your former friend nor yourself will have that opportunity to make amends for the past. If anything I have learn in this life so far: never say goodbye out of anger and never make regrets. It hurts when the opportunity of making amends doesn't happen. Life may be crazy, fun unexpected or unfair. But life is what you make of it. And I know that when that time comes for me to say goodbye again, the hurt might not be as bad. At least, I will have that peace when I go.

Actions speak louder than words. We can apologize over and over, but if our actions don't change, the words are meaningless. So if I were you I would make the effort to consistently, day after day, put or replace those words into an action(s). Become more involved with him and the children, as best you can with your situation. Greet them warmly with a smile and saying their name, touch their shoulder or what not with your hand, reach for his hand as if to hold it for a brief moment. Suggest a movie night at home or game night or ask him to play a game of cards. Write down 'sweet nothing' notes or get him some cheaper loving cards.
Hope this helps.View Thread
Another thought I'd like to share, I just recently got a membership at a therapy center, it's set up like a gym and the Curves facilities, yet it has physical therapists on staff and the atmosphere is unlike that of a gym or Curves, more serene in nature. I can't wait to get started, it'll be my me time, to feel good about myself and life in general and take care of my health.View Thread
I'm guessing the OW sent such a text to put feelers out to see where you are or stand so far in this. That's sometimes how people do it, to see where and how you are without accepting responsibility. Or I could read it as somewhat of an apology when she texted stating that she was probably the last person you want hear from, and she was remembering a happy event with you which may be tearing her up with some guilt. It's anybodys guess, I don't know anything about her. Is there any way you can block her texts or calls, even temporarily? I don't think you need to concern yourself with that end of this any time soon.
Do you find yourself reaching out for reassureance in some ways to your husband? Like the moments that you feel a need for a hug and some closeness, that he's there for you by your side where he feels your pain and wishes or wants to take it all away. Comfort. Has something similar to this come up during your sessions/appts, even showing care and concern by reaching out and hold the others hand? Or maybe nows not the time for that.View Thread
I think it's possible that there's a part of you that is screaming inside of you, wanting to 'spill the beans' with them and get it out of your system that is fighting the other part of you that may be feeling shame, as well as caring not to burden them in their current situation. Like you're all alone, not having anyone to share this with, bounce things off of, or a support system. I'm understanding that you are very close with this part of the family, and maybe you are feeling somewhat guilty for 'not' sharing this with them(although for the right reason).
As wonderful and thoughtful of a gift that they gave you, I can understand your mixed feelings surrounding it. As quickly as we would like to get past or get through something like this, it still takes some time to process and heal. Believe it or not even for some couples that have seperated from the same issue.
Just a thought, how is your health in general otherwise? Are there other possible variants that maybe intensifying or adding things to this for you? Do you exercise? What are you doing for you personally, get that good feeling about you sort of things?View Thread

Sample Lab – the place for sample freebies
I love free stuff, whether its pens, key chains, candy, toys, food stuffs, mini shampoos, etc… I want it, they're free and there, I'll take it. Anyone who says they don't like free things they are either lying or in denial. Free things rock and that's what makes this Japanese idea so awesome.
The Sample Lab is literally that. It's a place you can go to get free samples of stuff. While technically it isn't free, you do have to pay an annual $11 fee, it's still a bargain. Every time you visit you can have up to 5 sample items.
