NEW YORK (AP) — Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect eighth inning in his final All-Star appearance, Jose Bautista, J.J. Hardy and Jason Kipnis drove in runs to back a night of pulsating pitching, and the American League beat the National League 3-0 Tuesday night to stop a three-year losing streak.
Ten pitchers combined a three-hitter and the 43-year-old Rivera, who is retiring at the end of the season, remained unscored on in nine All-Star innings. Rivera won the MVP award.
The only older pitcher to appear in an All-Star game was 47-year-old Satchel Paige.
Rivera was left alone on the field for a 90-second standing ovation, waving his cap to the crowd and touching it to his heart as the other All-Stars watched from the dugout railing and applauded.
Bautista had a sacrifice fly in the fourth off Patrick Corbin that stopped the AL's 17-inning scoreless streak. Hardy added a run-scoring grounder in the fifth against Cliff Lee and Kipnis hit an RBI double in the eighth off Craig Kimbrell.
Matt Harvey and Max Scherzer dazzled with pitching at the start. Harvey threw two scoreless innings, striking out three, and Scherzer retired the side in order in his only frame.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Home Run Derby champion didn't even make the All-Star team.
Yoenis Cespedes won baseball's power-hitting competition with a dazzling display Monday night, becoming the first player left out of the All-Star game to take home the crown. The Oakland Athletics slugger beat Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round at reconfigured Citi Field, hitting the decisive drive with five swings to spare.
In his second major league season, the outfielder from Cuba flipped his bat aside and raised his left arm in triumph when he sent his 32nd homer of the night some 455 feet to center field, where it caromed off the back wall of the black batter's eye. He was swarmed by the American League All-Stars near the third base line.
"You come for a show in New York. He put on a show," said Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer.
The final addition to the field, Cespedes was the fourth player not selected for the All-Star game to compete in the event.
Right off the bat, he proved he belonged. With family in the stands, Cespedes hit a whopping 17 home runs in the first round — more than any other player managed in their first two at-bats.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have suspended two executives who are facing drunken driving charges.
Director of player personnel Matt Russell was suspended indefinitely without pay Monday, and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert was suspended for a month without pay.
Both will be provided with confidential treatment and counseling services by the team and will have to comply with those programs before being allowed to return to work, team president Joe Ellis said.
Executive vice president John Elway's top two advisers were arrested and jailed on suspicion of drunken driving in separates incidents within a month of each other, giving the team its biggest black eye since a videotape scandal cost Josh McDaniels his job in 2010.
Russell, Elway's right-hand man, was arrested July 6 while celebrating his 40th birthday. He hit two vehicles, including a police SUV in Breckenridge, injuring an officer, and registered a 0.246 percent breath alcohol content, three times the legal threshold for a DUI violation in Colorado, according to the arrest affidavit.
Heckert's blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.162 percent upon his release seven hours after his June 11 arrest in Parker, according to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office report.
The USA men's basketball team competing at the World University Games was knocked out of medal competition with Friday's loss to Canada.
The USA was outscored 28-19 in the second quarter as Canada broke open a tight game. The Americans couldn't get a sustained rally going in the second half to get back into the contest.
Canada, which went a perfect 5-0 in Pool C competition, earned a 94-85 victory. Canada and Australia will now advance to the quarterfinals of medal play while the USA will play for ninth place in the bottom WUG bracket.
The WUG continues through Tuesday in Kazan, Russia.
Former Los Alamos High School star Alex Kirk, who did not make an appearance in Thursday's loss to Australia, played only two minutes against Canada. Kirk finished with 1 rebound and picked up a personal foul in those two minutes.
For the USA, Luke Hancock scored 27 points, while Doug McDermott and Cory Jefferson both chipped in 17 points.
Again, however, it was a lackluster performance on both ends of the floor for the USA. The team shot just 40.3 percent from the floor (29 of 72) while allowing Canada to shoot at a nearly 50 percent clip.
It took just one game for the USA World University Games men's basketball team to go from riding high to near elimination.
The USA was dropped by the Australian WUG team Thursday. Australia's Jason Cadee scored 16 of his game-high 23 points in the final 10 minutes of the contest to lead his team to a 93-84 win over the USA.
The loss, the first for the USA at the Games, puts the team's back against the wall. To continue to direct-elimination play, the USA must top Canada (4-0) by no less than 10 points today to earn a tiebreaker over the Australians — only the top two teams from each pool advance.
University of New Mexico standout and former Hilltopper star Alex Kirk did not appear in Thursday's loss, one of two USA players that didn't get into the game.
This was the first time Kirk didn't make an appearance in the USA's pool competition and it was also the first time the USA had been outrebounded, by a 42-41 margin. Kirk has 17 rebounds in limited playing time throughout pool play.
Kirk's Lobo teammate, Cameron Bairstow, had 22 points for Australia, hitting 11 of 18 shots from the floor.
The USA World University Games men's basketball team came back from a 1-point deficit at the break to pull away from Sweden.
The USA went on an 11-0 run to start the second half, defeating Sweden 83-65. Yogi Ferrell scored 20 points to lead the USA to the win.
The USA is now 3-0 in Pool C play, tied with Canada for the top spot. The USA will take on Australia tonight — the game will be broadcast on ESPNU at 5 p.m. — and Canada on Friday.
Alex Kirk played 4 minutes against Sweden and did not score.
LONDON (AP) — Ever since she was a kid, practicing until midnight with her father, Marion Bartoli went about playing tennis her own way.
The two-handed strokes for backhands, forehands, even volleys. The hopping in place and practice swings between points, which help her focus. The unusual setup for serves — no ball-bouncing, arms crossed, right wrist resting on her left thumb before the toss.
Whatever works, right? This unique Wimbledon, appropriately enough, produced a unique champion in the ambidextrous Bartoli, the 15th-seeded Frenchwoman who won her first Grand Slam title by beating 23rd-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany 6-1, 6-4 Saturday in an error-filled, one-sided final that was far from a classic.
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bulls decided big help on the outside was a bigger need than a big body down low, so they addressed it in the draft on Thursday — twice.
First, they grabbed New Mexico wing man Tony Snell with the 20th pick and added another outside shooter in the second round, going with Florida's Erik Murphy at No. 49.
"I think we addressed a need," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "(General manager Gar Forman) and his staff worked very hard all year watching these guys. Both guys shoot the ball extremely well. He feels that Snell has a big upside, and he feels that way about Erik Murphy."
It's not hard to see why the Bulls looked to beef up their outside shooting. Just look at the NBA finals.
Whether it was Danny Green delivering a series-record 27 3-pointers for San Antonio, Ray Allen making a season-saving 3 for Miami or Shane Battier nailing six from long range for the Heat in Game 7, the value of outside shooting was there for everyone to see on the biggest stage.
Throw in the fact that Derrick Rose is expected to be back, drawing collapsing defenders, and that Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli could be gone, and it made sense that the Bulls looked for outside help.
LONDON (AP) — Serena Williams sailed past Wimbledon's wave of upsets and now faces an opponent more than a decade older than her.
The five-time champion beat Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday, avoiding the sort of early exit that has sent many top players tumbling from the tournament. Next up for the 31-year-old Williams is Japan's Kimiko Date-Krumm, who at 42 became the oldest woman to reach the third round at Wimbledon in the Open era.
Date-Krumm beat Alexandra Cadantu of Romania 6-4, 7-5 to advance this far at Wimbledon for the first time since 1996, when she went to the semifinals.
"I have so much respect for her," said Williams, who herself became the third oldest woman in the Open era to win a Grand Slam tournament when she captured this year's French Open. "I think she's so inspiring to be playing such high level tennis at her age. And she's a real danger on the grass court, I know that. I definitely will have to be ready."
Date-Krumm is the second-oldest woman to have won a match at Wimbledon after Martina Navratilova, who was 47 when she reached the second round in 2004. She took a 12-year break from tennis before returning in 2008.
LONDON (AP) — Maria Sharapova has been knocked out of Wimbledon by a 131st-ranked qualifier on a day when injuries forced the withdrawal of seven other players.
The third-seeded Sharapova, the Wimbledon champion in 2004 champion, lost 6-3, 6-4 to Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal in the second round at the All England Club.
It's the second significant upset of the tournament, which is only in Day 3. Two-time men's champion Rafael Nadal was beaten on Monday by 135th-ranked Steve Darcis.
Sharapova slipped and fell several times on the grass on Court 2 and received medical treatment from the trainer in the second set.
The women's tournament also lost second-seeded Victoria Azarenka, who withdrew before her match with a knee injury. Sharapova and Azarenka had been considered the main challengers to five-time champion Serena Williams.

FET - 3rd times a charm?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 10-27-2012 - 3:24pm
Sorry for the lack of updates on this cycle so far. I've been a little tired (mentally as well as physcially) from doing my FETs one after another. All the meds take their toll. But I'm excited to report that I'm having my transfer on Halloween and beta is on 11/12 =) At my check on Thursday my E2=384 and my lining was 10.7mm which my nurse said is "perfect" so hopefully our little blast will be extra sticky.
|Sun, 10-28-2012 - 7:03pm
|Sun, 11-04-2012 - 5:05pm
Sorry for the slow update! I had my transfer on Haloween. They had to thaw all three of my blasts to get one to transfer so this is our last FET with my 34 year old eggs. The one they put back is a 4AB so it's very good quality. Today is 4dp5dt and I took my last hcg booster shot. Tomorrow I will start POAS but expect false negatives until at least mid week because of the hcg shots. Beta is 11/12. I really, really hope this works. I've been back at the RE doing mock cycles and 3 FET attempts in the last 10 months. I'm tired. If this doesn't work I'll probably do a fresh though *sigh*
|Wed, 11-07-2012 - 7:21pm
Sorry they had to thaw all your embies. Hopefully this is the one. Did you do HCG boosters last time, or is that something new? It kind of makes being a POAS junkie less fun...
|Wed, 11-07-2012 - 11:11pm
You're right...POAS is less fun when that 2nd line is a fake! I did the hCG boosters last FET cycle and in my fresh cycle. It's part of my RE's standard protocol. I think by this weekend the sticks should tell me what's up *bites nails*

Release problems and quality issues plague the Disney Parks x Haunted Mansion Dooney and Bourke bags
At 3:00-3:30AM EST this morning Disney Parks released another volley of Haunted Mansion Dooney and Bourke bags on DisneyStore.com. They were all sold out before 4 AM except for the tote which was sold out by the time I woke up for work.
The most infuriating bit is that they weren't even listed on the site properly so regular customers didn't even have a chance. You can see that as of this writing the link above doesn't actually include the Smith Bag. It's on the site but you have to manually type in the SKU. It's excluded from the search!
Seriously. The only way to get certain bags, like the bag I wanted, the Smith Bag was to know the freaking 10-15 digit long SKU number and manually input that into the search bar.
This Smith bag I have wanted for over a year:
So a handful of people who stayed up all night and also were members of Disney Dooney and Bourke fan communities where the SKU numbers were posted got bags. No one else did.
I have to admit that it is tough to contain my frustration and anger that I've been trying to get this bag for over a year. I managed to pick up a Haunted Mansion Tote in the parks by sheer luck but it's not actually the bag I wanted. I was going to return or exchange it when my Smith bag came out because I knew that if I didn't buy the tote I'd probably never get any Haunted Mansion bag. Disney has done an extremely poor job of releasing these bags. It's as if they have no faith in the Haunted Mansion. It's clear that a lot of people want them because it's become a frenzy over this. It is way past the ridiculous point.
Worse yet, on the Disney Dooney and Bourke fan communities photos surfaced of broken straps, unsewn seams, and the fabric peeling off on some people's Haunted Mansion bags within just a day or two of being opened.
Images from Disney Dooney and Bourke community.
I had thought that Dooney and Bourke was a good company, but it seems that if you do get one of these Haunted Mansion Dooneys you should keep the receipt. They have a year warranty from Dooney so make sure to carry it for a bit immediately.
It's very depressing to me that something so awesome is being marred by poor releases and allegedly worse quality. The bags that I got had rough straps that will definitely tear up my clothing. I am legitimately not sure if I can carry it because it's like sandpaper.
Disney and Dooney and Bourke need to fix this unless they want to be known for being of poor quality.
I emailed Disney a complaint and they replied with a copy/paste that answered a question that I never asked. :(

POSTED: Thursday, May 30, 2013 - 5:30pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 4, 2013 - 10:14pm
Bayou Corne, La (NBC33) — Bayou Corne residents found the first bubble site one year ago.
Right now there are 61 bubble sites and a huge sinkhole in the small town.
They thought things would get better once the first round of buyout offers went out, but so far things have gotten worse.
Residents claim that Texas Brine, the company they believe is responsible for the sinkhole, aren't doing "these people right" and claim that the offers they are receiving are almost insulting.
Nick and Brenda Romero got their offer on Thursday. Nick claimed that the Texas Brine didn't give him fair market value for his home. He was outraged over the amount they offered him to cover the emotional turmoil he's experienced for more than nine months.
"They offered the two of us - for personal damages - they offered us $46,000," stated Nick.
Those who haven't gotten their offers are worried they won't do any better.
Texas Brine officials say the amount offered for homes was based on appraisals of comparable homes in the area prior to any bubbles or the sinkhole. They say residents can give a counter offer for Texas Brine to consider.
Residents believe that the bubbles and the bad buyout offers won't get fixed anytime soon.
Here is a map of the current bubble sites in the Bayou Corne area:

Thank you to everyone who came out to The Standard, East Village Penthouse to sew for MAKESHIFT. Here are some images from the day. More of the conversation to come!
Crafting Fashion, a pop-up shop curated by Alabama Chanin and Billy Reid, featured designers- Alabama Chanin, Susan Cianciolo, HEATH Ceramics, George Esquivel, Hugo & Marie, Imogene + Willie, Pamela Love, Leigh Magar, Maria Moyer, Billy Reid, Albertus Quartus Swanepoel, Tucker, and Kenlynn Wilson. Thanks to everyone for the great turn out. And a bigger thank you to Billy Reid and his staff for their hospitality and Tift Merritt for the beautiful performance.
Among the most meaningful things I've ever found in a thrift store was a pair of dresses I unearthed at the Goodwill in Durham, North Carolina. One was a white summer dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt dotted with embroidered flowers. The other was a pink sequined number straight out of an old Italian movie. What made the dresses so arresting wasn't their cut or color, or even all the flowers and sequins. It was the fact that inside, attached to the labels, their former wearer had pinned stories: "Picnic. 1957. Hillsboro, North Carolina." "Eastern Star Dance. May 8, 1958. Danced with M.K."
I've since learned from my friend Emily Spivack who created and edits a blog about clothing and memory to call these stories "worn stories."
On Tuesday night, as part of MAKESHIFT, we invited members of the audience to write their own worn stories. Rosanne Cash, Cathy Bailey of Heath Ceramics, and Natalie read excerpts of their stories to inspire us.
Here's Natalie's.
To begin the evening at MAKESHIFT @ the Standard Talks, Rosanne Cash opened with a performance of "Fair and Tender Ladies," a traditional Appalachian folk song that has been recorded by many singers. The song had been performed by her step-mother, June Carter Cash.
Rosanne began by sharing her thoughts on crafting and writing music. In turn, she asked the audience to collaborate and "craft" a new song from the original version. This posed the question: "What can we learn from the field of music as we creatively approach a collaboration between amateurs and auteurs, makers and users?"
Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and came out last night for MAKESHIFT at the Standard Talks. On behalf of myself and all of the panelists, we appreciate everyone's enthusiastic response to MAKING.
It was a beautiful evening. As a group, we crafted a song and sang together, finger-knitted, and shared our 'worn stories.' Throughout the day, we will share some of our MAKESHIFT moments here.

Cathy Bailey of HEATH Ceramics has frequented this blog for a number of years as a friend and a colleague. After loving her work (and her) from afar, we were fortunate to collaborate with HEATH Ceramics to produce a line of table and dinner wares that were launched last fall.
Cathy (her husband, Robin), and I share much of the same passion about design, craft, and local production. Next week, Cathy and I will share the stage at the Standard Talks. This coming Tuesday, Alabama Chanin presents MAKESHIFT: Shifting Thoughts on Design, Fashion, Craft, and DIY, our first event in a series of many as we continue a conversation on the intersection of design, fashion, craft, and DIY.

A few weeks ago, we took to the streets of Florence to spread wildflower seeds guerrilla-style. We tossed our homemade seed "bombs", seed encapsulated clay balls, into alleys and onto vacant areas – hoping to add more color and beauty to our community.
With the amount of rain that we have been receiving lately, every growing thing has been sprouting up and up toward the sky. Yesterday, retraced our steps to see if our dispersed wildflowers were making progress. There were no full blooms yet; however, we are starting to see small dots of the color purple in Olivia's yard.
We hope to see you @ The Factory this Friday and Saturday for our Open House + Mother's Day Market.

Livni talks to Haaretz about politics, economics, and the 'greatest tragedy facing Israel'
She befriends tycoons and isn't ashamed of it, would reward Haredim for cooperating, and says peace matters more than prices.
Text size
Tzipi Lizni has come a long way from her Betar roots, the Zionist youth movement embraced by her family and home. This is a woman whose mother was the subject of one of the most famous songs of the Etzel pre-state underground militia; the same young politician who started her career under the wings of the neo-liberal Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Book Description:
In the early 19th century, the American Colonization Society was formed with the sole intent of creating a colony for free blacks and former slaves. Both blacks and whites took passionate stands either for or against this proposal. Despite the controversy, the first group of settlers landed on the west coast of Africa in 1822. They faced numerous problems arising from the unfamiliar climate, hostile encounters with the indigenous people, and the failure of other nations to recognize their independence, but they managed to build a nation, naming it Liberia, for liberty. Today, partly because of these difficult beginnings, Liberia is a country plagued by unrest.In this accessible and well-written book, award-winning author Catherine Reef presents a significant but as of yet relatively unexplored chapter in African American history. Her account is filled with excerpts from diaries and letters of the settlers and richly illustrated with period photographs and prints, many of which have never been published before. Photo gallery, endnotes, bibliography, index.

I was arrested in October of 2009 for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The court dropped the charges down to a disorderly conduct. I want to have my record expunged but am unclear on the laws surrounding it.
If it has been 5 years since your conviction on a summary disorderly conduct (if a misdemeanor you are stuck) and you have no other charges since, you are eligible for expungement. You should contact an attorney who will file the correct forms and get the process going.
All the main charges can be expunged now, and the summary offense of Disorderly Conduct can be expunged after 5 years from the date you entered the plea. It is suggested that you retain a criminal defense attorney who has expertise in this area. Many firms offer a free consult.
You are currently eligible for expungement of the possession of marijuana charge and drug paraphernalia charge and will be eligible in to have the Disorderly Conduct charge expunged once five years has elapsed from the date of conviction during which you have been free from arrest or new charges.
Anything that is a summary conviction can be expunged; however anything higher than a summary conviction would need to be pardoned (a different process.) The summary conviction must have occurred five years prior to the filing of the petition. If you are serious about filing for an expungment I would highly recommend hiring an attorney who has experience in the county which you would file for your expungment.
Summary offenses can be expunged after 5 years so it depends when in 2009 you plead guilty to the Disorderly Conduct. If 5 years have passed you can file to have this conviction expunged.

Investors are getting "bulled up" in anticipation that stocks will rally through year's end in reaction to improving economic conditions.
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce on Wednesday adjustments to its epic, $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program that saved the post-credit-crisis global economy from a slump worse than the Great Depression. Wall Street doesn't appear concerned: Its interpretation seems to be that if the central bank believes tapering its monthly bond-buying program (likely by $10 billion to $15 billion) will not harm the economy, then global economic growth is expected.
To profit from an economic expansion, investors are establishing positions in companies with international revenues and strong business models that tend to perform well amid economic growth. Money is flowing into economically sensitive exchange-traded funds such as the Select Sector SPDR-Industrial XLI -0.19130434782608696% Select Sector SPDR-Industrial U.S.: NYSE Arca 57.39 -0.11 -0.19130434782608696% /Date(1417039200127-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5359925 AFTER HOURS 57.39 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 13917 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.7934831852239066% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: XLI) and Select Sector SPDR-Energy XLE -1.261720106493807% Select Sector SPDR-Energy U.S.: NYSE Arca 85.3 -1.09 -1.261720106493807% /Date(1417039200127-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 20142965 AFTER HOURS 85.56 0.26 0.3048065650644783% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 730263 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.2662133645955453% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (XLE), and materials sectors, as well as into stalwarts like Procter & Gamble PG 0.09009009009009009% Procter & Gamble Co.

MANY INVESTORS, HOWEVER, have also hedged their portfolios, should Murphy enact his famed law. One key measure of appetite for equity risk—known as the "fear gauge"—is at a level that suggests investors are not terribly afraid of buying stocks. The CBOE Volatility Index, which was around 20 in late June, has fallen to 13. That 43% decline in some three months underscores the thirst many investors now have for bullish calls.
Institutional investors are placing their economic rebound trades in a bifurcated fashion. Big investors, such as macro hedge funds with $100 million to deploy, are buying sector ETFs and then selling puts and calls on them around specific market-moving events, such as central-bank meetings or economic reports.
Investors less worried about liquidity are focusing on buying individual stocks—specifically, the top holdings in these economically sensitive ETFs. They're also buying associated calls with expirations into January and beyond to harness the expected stock-price lift due to the economic improvement.
In many ways, the action du jour is fancy momentum trading. Many hedge-fund managers are trailing their benchmark indexes and are desperate to catch up. If events unfold according to their plan, all's well. If not, well, there will probably be a few less hedge funds around come winter.
CHANGES IN THE DOW JONES Industrial Average prompted a re-examination of the idea that blue-chip stocks are practically immune to time's ravages. A recent MIT Technology Review essay, "Technology Is Wiping Out Companies Faster Than Ever," has a sharply different view. It found that in 1958, companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index could expect to remain there for 61 years. Today, the average expectation is 18 years. Why? Technology. Innovative companies evolve; those that do not, wither.

And providing you with immense personal worth…
A few years ago Andrew Reynolds found his life going around and around in seemingly ever decreasing circles. He was stuck in a job he hated … struggling to pay the bills … and living in a cramped semi in a housing estate on the 'wrong' side of town. Which makes his idyllic lifestyle just a few years later all the more impressive. Indeed, in those proceeding years he went on to develop something at home he called, Cash on Demand, which enabled him to go from this hopeless situation to becoming a Multi-Millionaire.
Written about in a book recently released called Copy This Idea – which coincides with his new home study course Cash on Demand 3.0 – Andrew explains a fascinating way to make money where he basically can buy something for £6 and sell it for £197 working from home using a automated little web site. It is a business model which he has used to bank well over £50 Million Pounds and provide him with a lifestyle he never dreamed possible. Indeed, essentially that is what Cash on Demand 3.0 is all about. Showing other individuals how they could copy his idea … copy what he does to make their own dreams come true.
However, what I found fascinating, when I read about his Cash on Demand model and the journey it had taken him on, was when asked by his publishers what the most meaningful thing making all this money has done for him. You see his reply had nothing to do with any personal accomplishments. It wasn't the million pound homes he'd bought or the £100,000+ cars, neither was it the various business awards he won or even seeing his book go straight to number one in its category in hundreds of branches of WH Smiths. Not even becoming a Sunday Times Business Best Seller.
Instead, what he has found the most meaningful thing to have happened as a result of using the Cash on Demand system he developed, is how it has enabled him to help others. The money he has been able to give away in other words. First and foremost one of the most satisfying feelings came when he gave his mum true financial freedom and bought her her own home. A far cry from the caravan she used to live in when Andrew was younger as they struggled to even put food on the table.
In addition to this, perhaps most gratifying is that by running a successful business like a Cash on Demand business, it gives you the opportunity to go beyond one's only 'personal' goals and aspirations, and to reach out to others who really do need a helping hand. In Andrew's case he admits that he'd always promised himself that if he ever made serious money in is life, he would do something sensible with it rather than just fritter it away. Cash on Demand has enabled him to certainly do that – and perhaps even to have gone far further than he would have imagined.
For example, right now every morning in a township thousands of miles away in South Africa 400 or so children went to school with food in their bellied thanks to the soup kitchen Andrew has been able to fund from his Cash on Demand profits. In fact, they'll also get a sandwich for lunch and a dinner in the evening from this soup kitchen. In short, isn't it amazing to think that there are children in another continent which will not go hungry all because of a very ordinary guy living halfway across the world happened to stumble on a great way to make money which he developed into what is today the Cash on Demand business.
Likewise, hundreds of sick children have been treated in a children's ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital – a multi-bed specialist treatment room Andrew raised all the money for using his Cash on Demand system.
Of course, what any budding entrepreneur does ultimately with their own success is personal to them, but as Andrew points out we all have a social responsibility. Yes running a successful business system like Cash on Demand is also about making money for yourself, however once you've secured your own financial freedom and that of your family it would do you well on so many levels to begin developing a vision now of what you'd like to do beyond this. That is where your true riches will lie and which will be the mirror to which you will truly know if yours was a life well lived or not.]]>
His book, Copy This Idea, which is published by John Wiley and Sons, one of the UKs top publishers, shot straight to number one in the WH Smiths Business Book and Non-Fiction Book charts, being widely recommended in London's City Airport, Victoria Railways Station outlets and others around the country.
To coincide with the book launch, author Andrew Reynolds has also launched the very latest version of his Cash On Demand course, for anyone who wants to get into the nitty gritty of how the business works in detail and who prefers to be shown each step one at a time.
Like Copy This Idea, Cash On Demand is written in simple to understand language. No clever business phrases here – no graphs – no charts =- no forecasts –and most importantly, no promises based on theory. Everything in the Cash On Demand course is based on what the author does himself in his own business, day to day, right now in the 21st Century. With Social Media exploding and new and inventive ways of using these sites to market products in a very cost effective way, the course walks you through, step by step, showing you, for example, how the system works, where to get products to sell, how to get started on a shoestring, how to joint venture with others, so you're not working alone if you don't; want to.
The Cash on Demand course comes as a free 30 day trial (and is only £29.95 a month after that if you decide to go ahead). The free package includes three DVDs to show you more than Andrew Reynolds can show in the printed module. It also comes with an audio CD and a one to one consultation with Andrew direct, when you are ready to take your business to the next level
To get started, you may want to read his Copy This Idea book – available here or in WH Smiths, Amazon and other good online book retailers. With the book you also get the free trial of the first months module and DVDs etc – so well worth the £9.99 RRP
Hard on the heels of his success with his new book called Copy This Idea, Andrew Reynolds has completely rewritten and updated his Cash On Demand course, which has the distinction of becoming the best-selling home business course on TV in the UK.
The new and updated version called Cash On Demand includes not only the principles of how the system works – but also the ways in which the system has been adapted to work in this age of social media, and tablet computing.
If you're looking for ways to make money at home – Andrew Reynolds is a great coach and mentor and has some great success stored behind him, including an ex DJ that he trained, who banked over £3million from home – or the part time musician who learned Andrew Reynolds system and banked over £7million starting at home in his spare room. Neither of these Cash On Demand students had ever done anything like this before, until coming across Andrew Reynolds and deciding to learn all the could from him.
In the Cash On Demand 3.0 course, Andrew offers a step by step training on how his system that he developed actually works. Incidentally don't; expect overnight riches – Reynolds points out in the first months module that if you are looking for a get rich quick scheme, this is not going to be the course for you (In fact he tells you to call his office and cancel your subscription if this is what you are looking for – as it is really not going to be the right course for you. But, he explains, if you are looking for something that will allow you to learn new skills and to build your own sustainable business at home – then Cash On Demand 3.0 may be the right course for you
But to let you make a reasoned judgement for yourself – when you buy a copy of his brand new book Copy This Idea – he also provides a free 30 day trial subscription to the Cash On Demand course so that you can see it for yourself and make that decision.
If you get where he's coming from and decide that Andrew Reynolds is the guy you want as your mentor, his Cash On Demand course is a mere £29.95 a month – and you can stop at any time without any penalty. For more information about his book Copy This Idea and to get your free trial subscription to the Cash On Demand 3.0 course – click here
Written by award winning start up entrepreneur, Andrew Reynolds, Copy This Idea is the story of how he stumbled upon an idea for a business he could start and run at home – an idea what has so far puled in well over £50 million pounds.
The book is more than a story though. It is mainly a detailed account of how his business idea works, what he does, what he sells, how he gets customers, how he joint ventures with other people too, as a way of building his business faster than he could working alone.
In short, the book provides you with a great kick start if you are looking for that one idea that could change your financial fortunes.
The book also comes with a free one to one consultation with the author by email, plus three DVDs which he sends you free when you buy the book (you pay just £1 towards the postage). These DVDs show, amongst other things, a live recording filmed when a camera crew followed him for a week, as he went about running his business. You'll actually see the money coming in live on screen. Copy This Idea will certainly open your eyes to a new way of making money that you've probably never considered before.

a relatively new way to make some money at home in your spare time. Like so many good ideas, fellow Brit Matt Taylor came across this EMBsystem while in the USA on a trip.
"It was pure chance that someone told me about this simple way to make money and it was just what I had been looking for, for so many years. You see I had been to all the Bootcamps and the seminars – bought the courses and all the motivational stuff…but I just never found the right thing to really get me started – until I saw EMBsystem"
The beauty is that there's none of the stuff that the other UK gurus ask you to do – no sales letters to write, no DVDs to rebrand and run off, no stock to keep in my garage, no complicated website to build. The EMBsystem.com is just so much easier to get started with.
The products are all online – so you don't have to go marching to the Post Office and all orders are handled for you. EMBsystem is the answer to my prayers – something I can do at home in my spare time – and something that can build up into a nice monthly income
I tried it out and within my first week I had earned £2,780.36 (Actually it was a dollar amount- but the money gets sent to my UK account and my bank take care of changing it into £'s)
I have to admit I was almost put off by the brash 'Americanisms' in the video I watched when I first came across EMBsystem but if you can look beyond the 'cool dude' language – this is a system that I have tested and it works well, right here in the UK.
The latest Cash On Demand scam ad offered a set of 13 of the Modules of the course scanned onto a CD for just a fraction of their real worth.
Old Cash on Demand Scam Copies
The problem with his Cash On Demand scam is that the pirates had scanned very old copies of the course originally written on 2004 and of course much of the information in the course has changed dramatically since that date. The Cash On Demand scam copies contain websites for example that no longer exist and some of the methods shown in the Cash On Demand scam copies are now out of date. The only way to get the very latest 2.0 version of the course written this year is to go to www.ec.tv where a free trail is available. Unlike the Cash On Demand scam copies being hawked on auction sites by the pirates, the free trial package contains three feature length DVDs which clearly show the system in action, plus an audio CD , an introductory Modules and also a certificate entitling you to a one to one consultation when your business is up and running.
So beware pirates and their Cash On Demand scam poor and out of date copies. For the latest course simply leave your details at www.ec.tv]]>
Brand new for 2012 is a brilliant new system for making money at home using Social Media – called the New Year Plan System.

Instead the Plan system is available to selected invited students of Andrew for a manageable monthly payment of just £199 plus vat.

They met a quietly spoken multi millionaire who had pulled in over £50 million pounds working from his spare room – and decided they wanted to copy what he was doing. They decided to study his methods and put them into practice. Within just 7 weeks this husband and wife couple had banked over £87,958.61. In fact since starting around 4 years ago The Jane Somner Cash on Demand business has already puled in over £1,132,800.98.
The Jane Somner Cash on Demand success story is incredible – as is the sum of money they have generated when you consider that Jane is a very ordinary down to earth 46 year old married woman with 2 children who lives in Sussex. As Jane says herself in the Jane Somner Cash on Demand success story "I'm just your regular British stay at home mum but in fact over just 4 years I've averaged returns of £5,196.33 per week" The Jane Somner Cash on Demand success has been achieved by doing something which takes her and her husband just a couple of hours a day about 3 times a week. As Jane put it "we just can't believe it and we feel so happy about having stumbled across this great way of making money working from home. According to Jane Somner Cash on Demand is the best business model she has ever found.
The Jane Somner Cash on Demand story though shows that it wasn't always as easy as this for her and her husband to make money. Before starting on their new business they had been running a telephone service for accountants. They had, like most traditional businesses, gone down the path of having loads of overheads including an office, loads of staff, and all the other costs that go with running a traditional business.
According to Jane Somner Cash on Demand taught her that they could make far more money running a simple little business selling CD's and DVD's from their spare room at home than they ever could running a big traditional business. In fact their traditional business was pulling them deeper and deeper in debt and at one point they reached personal debts of over £40,000 ….. before deciding finally to give up and to look for something else and look for some other way to make money. That was when the Jane Somner Cash on Demand story really began when she stumbled across the simple monthly course written by a multi millionaire who has pulled in over £50 million pounds. According to Jane Somner Cash on Demand "showed me how to run this system working from my spare room I just knew this was the way that we were going to turn our fortunes around. The business is so simple to understand and simple to put into practice and more importantly it doesn't take hundreds of thousands of pounds to get started." According to Jane Somner Cash on Demand is the course for anyone thinking of an alternative way of making money working from home in their spare time.
Jane and her husband haven't looked back since. In fact the business that they now run from home has enabled them to buy a brand new Mercedes and to fulfil a lifelong dream of owning their own boat.
Summing up the Jane Somner Cash on Demand success story she said "I can't believe it… in less than 4 years we've turned our fortunes around having banked over £1 million pounds….. without taking big risks…. without working really hard for it…. and without any previous experience. We've never done anything like this in our lives.
From our Andrew Reynolds review – we found that he started a home based business from scratch, working on a shoestring budget, in the spare room of his house approximately 15 years ago. Since then our Andrew Reynolds review team found that he has gone on to pull in over £50 million pounds. Clearly as someone that has experience in starting and building a very successful home based business, if your looking to do that yourself he would be a great mentor figure for you to follow.
As part of our Andrew Reynolds review we sent of for a free 30 day trial package of his brand new Cash on Demand 2.0 course. Within 2 days the package arrived safely and we started our Andrew Reynolds review.
This package is identical to the package that would be subscribers would receive and contains a 90 page manual, a DVD filmed at Andrew Reynolds entrepreneur's bootcamp event which was held at O2 in London, a 2nd DVD which was filmed in the townships of Cape Town, and a 3rd DVD called the £500,000 challenge.
As part of the Andrew Reynolds review that we carried out we watched through the full length DVD's. The £500,000 challenge was particularly interesting. This DVD featured clips from a documentary that was filmed a couple of years ago where a reporter challenged Andrew Reynolds to use his Cash on Demand system to pull in half a million pounds in 7 days. As we saw when we carried out our Andrew Reynolds review – he took the challenge and agreed that a camera crew could follow him around for a whole week as he pulled in the money. This challenge makes fascinating viewing as we watch Andrew Reynolds literally pulling in half a million pounds in less than 7 days – all verified by independent auditors at the end of the documentary. Bowled over by the £500,000 challenge, the Andrew Reynolds review team then moved onto the 2nd DVD which was filmed in Cape Town. Far removed from the world of business this DVD features a documentary filmed in the townships surrounding Cape Town. In a particularly moving piece during the documentary our Andrew Reynolds review team saw a soup kitchen run by a lady called Rosie which feeds over 400 young children everyday who would otherwise go with without food. Rosie had a huge problem when the charity that used to provide food for her ran out of funds and she faced closure. In the documentary Rosie explains to Andrew that she will have to turn the children away when they come for their food and we see Andrew Reynolds step in with funding to keep the soup kitchen open for many years to come. As part of our Andrew Reynolds review we also on the same DVD saw 2 other entrepreneurs who against all odds in the townships are now supporting their families based on their own entrepreneurial skills. In particular we see a guy called golden who makes decorative flowers out of old tin cans that he finds on rubbish dumps and sells them to tourist.
To continue with our Andrew Reynolds review we then went on to the next video which was filmed live at the London O2 arena when Andrew Reynolds held his award winning entrepreneurs bootcamp event. This event won awards for the best London business event and the best U.K and international conference at 2 industry ceremonies the Andrew Reynolds review DVD shows him on stage teaching students of his Cash on Demand course how to make money. The stage was also shared with several other international entrepreneurs who had also started home based businesses and become very successful financially.
Each of the DVD's in this package could very well be sold individually by Andrew but in fact he provides all of these free of charge as part of this free trial package. Moving on with our Andrew Reynolds review we then looked at the 90 page manual which is a good introduction to his Cash on Demand 2.0 course. This course is a complete update of Andrew Reynolds system. Our Andrew Reynolds review team concluded that since he started 15 years ago things have moved on greatly and in particular online things have moved at a great pace. Tools such as facebook twitter wordpress and devices such as ipads and iphones have opened up even more opportunities for entrepreneurs like Andrew and like any aspiring home based business person who has the foresight to use them. The Cash on Demand 2.0 course is therefore a completely updated course which shows all of the techniques that Andrew Reynolds uses right now in his business. The conclusion of our Andrew Reynolds review is that this course teaches what works now….not some type of theory….but real down to earth methods that can be used right now to make money through a home based business.
The Andrew Reynolds review package can be found by going to www.ec.tv …… and costs nothing to send for. You simply sign up for a trial subscription with your credit or debit card BUT your card is not charged for 30 days giving you plenty of time to review the package. If having carried out your own Andrew Reynolds review you decide to continue with the course the subscription automatically clicks in after the 30 day period and the next part of the course will be sent to you. However if having carried out your Andrew Reynolds review you decide this is not a package for you, you simply return the manual to Andrew and you owe him nothing. It will have cost you nothing to take a look at his package.]]>

Row over referee Rodriguez could count out Haye's WBA belt
David Haye's protest against the appointment of a referee familiar with the Klitschkos is beginning to appear like an attempt to keep his WBA belt whether he wins or loses on Saturday night.
Hayes trainer-manager, Adam Booth, said: The position now is that, unless the WBA decide to approve this referee, then they will not sanction this as a fight for their championship.
Normally, a heavyweight is stripped of his title if he does not put it on the line in any and every fight.
Booths statement indicates that the WBA would not take that action against Haye if the referee dispute is not resolved.
Hayes complaint is that Chicago official, Genaro Rodriguez, has developed a relationship wi th the Klitschkos by refereeing Wladimirs heavyweight title fights and two of his brother Vitalis.
Booth has proposed Luis Pabon as an alternative but said: That has been refused
on the grounds that he has refereed one of Davids fights.
But how about all the Klitschko fights which Rodriguez has officiated? Where is the justice in that? All we want is a fair fight.
Team Klitschko are pointing out that Rodriguez took charge of one of Wladimirs three defeats the one inflicted by Corrie Sanders in 2003.
But Booth argued: In all the Wladimir fights which this referee has been in charge of, he has allowed all kinds of fouls and especially long periods of holding. This is an ongoing dispute.
The WBO are pushing Rodriguez very aggressively. Can we guess why? But everyone in boxing knows that Pabon is a fine referee.
With just four days to go until 55,000 people throng into Hamburgs Imtech Arena and millions of TV viewers around the globe tune in, this is a dispute which needs to be resolved quickly.
It would be inconceivable for the Klitschkos to let Wladimir risk his IBF, WBO, Ring and IBO titles without Hayes WBA belt being at stake as well.
Although this is a more genuine controversy than the other disruptions being created by Haye, the danger of the fight being called off sounds remote.
Booth admitted: Even if the WBA say we have to go with Rodriguez, Klitschko still gets knocked out.

Last minute distractions for Wlad and his camp, all good in my book. The hype and mind games won't stop even when they get into the ring. I'm hyped for this fight now

also now that rodriguez name has been put into this controversy, i'm sure he'll have some distaste for Hayes camp, change the ref, so there are no excuses after the fight

The trailer premiere for the animated movie 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' has emerged, and with it comes our first look at the sequel to DC's 'Justice League: War.' Hey, it's no 'Batman vs. Superman' or the live...
Comic Strip: The Rock Says 'Shazam,' The Vision Revealed, and a New Ra's Al Ghul on 'ArrowJacob Hall September 08, 2014 12:17 PM
ScreenCrush's Comic Strip is a weekly roundup of the hottest superhero movie/TV news items. From Marvel to DC and points in between, if it pertains to costumed comic book heroes, we're covering it here, bringing you our expert analysis. This week, Dwayne Johnson makes 'Shazam' official, Paul Bettany's Vision is revealed, and Stan Lee's original 'Guardians of the Galaxy' cameo is dissected.
The Rock's 'Shazam!' Movie Won't Take Place in the 'Justice League' UniverseMike Sampson September 04, 2014 08:04 AM
As 'Batman vs. Superman' very clearly teases the upcoming 'Justice League' crossover (the subtitle is 'Dawn of Justice' after all), we all sort of assumed that The Rock's long-teased 'Shazam!' movie would fit into that blueprint somehow. Even The Rock himself tweeted the art above of his character, Black Adam, fighting both Shazam and Superman. But, now it seems that 'Shazam!' will be operating independently from the rest of the other DC superheroes at Warner Bros.
