Starkey: LeBron's world
LeBron James is on the kind of rampage no sports fan should miss.
Truly, this is pull-the-kids-out-of-bed-and-make-them-watch-it stuff.
The larger story is that LeBron has established himself as the best athlete in North America at the moment, and maybe the most likeable, but we'll get to that in a minute.
First, the rampage.
This is Mario Lemieux circa 1989. It's Michael Jordan in the '93 playoffs. It's Sidney Crosby ripping off 50 points in a 25-game scoring streak before the Winter Classic two years ago.
It's an all-time great at the very height of his powers.
Even Crosby, amid a busy hockey season, had a working knowledge of what LeBron's been up to when I approached him Wednesday morning.
"Are you talking about his shooting percentage?" Sid asked. "Yeah, they showed what his percentage was the last five games. It was pretty outrageous. I don't know if he kept it going."
He did. I saw for myself, flicking on NBA TV Tuesday night to watch LeBron become the first player in NBA history to score 30 points in six consecutive games while making at least 60 percent of his field-goal attempts in each.
I tuned in with 7:32 left and the Heat trailing Portland, 95-93. Over the next 15 minutes, I saw LeBron, among other things, pin two shots on the backboard and throw down two ridiculous dunks (Sasha Pavlovic may be co-starring in a poster of one of them). He finished with 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting.
As a bonus, I witnessed this memorable exchange between NBA TV analysts Greg Anthony and Chris Webber, as they attempted to quantify LeBron's greatness:
Webber: "He could have played in the Super Bowl, and he could be a Bo Jackson-type hitter in baseball. And he could probably be Wayne Gretzky in hockey."
Anthony: "You know, a lot of brothers don't play hockey."
Webber: "Yeah, but if he could skate, man, just think."
Just think: LeBron has made 70 of his past 96 field-goal attempts. He is averaging 27.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game. And he is doing it all while projecting the joy of a child.
So often in sports it feels as if the athlete is a million miles away. With LeBron, it feels inclusive, like everybody's in on the fun.
Have you seen the YouTube clips of LeBron interacting with fans? One shows him exchanging chest passes, before an in-bounds play, with a middle-aged man who caught a ball in the stands. Another shows him jubilantly tackling a fan who made a half-court shot at halftime.
Crosby and Evgeni Malkin both are LeBron fans. Malkin used to travel to Cleveland to watch him play. Crosby has a LeBron jersey.
"I've never had the chance to meet him, but I've gotten a jersey from him indirectly," Crosby said. "Hopefully one day if it works out, I'd love to have the opportunity to meet him."
No doubt, LeBron deserved the heat when he dissed Cleveland and voluntarily starred in the worst television show of all-time — "The Decision." But he wore the villain's hat without complaint and earned his way back into America's good graces.
Most of America, anyway. For some, nothing could legitimize LeBron. As somebody who calls himself Gourmet Spud sarcastically tweeted after LeBron won NBA silver and Olympic gold within a matter of months: "This is all well and good, but LeBron still does not have a single intergalactic championship."
Not yet, anyway.
In the meantime, I've never seen a better basketball player — or one I'd rather see young players emulate.
LeBron is totally unselfish. He defends everybody. He doesn't miss games. He acknowledges the obligation to give fans an honest night's work in every arena (listening, Gregg Popovich?).
Mike Krzyzewski put it best, telling Sports Illustrated: "He's one of the unique sports figures of all-time, really, and he's right in that area where it's all come together."
I plan to see this in person March 3 in New York, and I suggest you turn on TNT tonight — even if you hate the NBA — for some of the Miami-Oklahoma City game.
Wake up the kids while you're at it.
Joe Starkey co-hosts a show 2 to 6 p.m. weekdays on 93.7 "The Fan." His columns appear Thursdays and Sundays. Reach him at email@example.com.

Shop with Confidence
We'll match the product prices of key online competitors
APMEX wants to be your one stop shop when it comes to your Precious Metal purchases. That's why we're offering all VIP Members our Price Match Guarantee on all in-stock products.
How does it work?
Call us today at (800) 375-9006 ext. 600 to receive our best price guarantee.
Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET), excluding holidays.
Who is eligible for the price match guarantee?
All current VIP members are eligible for price matching.
How do I request a price match from APMEX?
When making a purchase, price match requests from APMEX.com are handled via phone through your VIP representative or VIP team member. Please call (800) 375-9006 ext. 600 for your APMEX price match request. Please tell us about the lower price still in effect that you want APMEX to price match. We will then review and verify the price match request. APMEX price match requests cannot be completed online, via e-mail or phone messages
What if the competitor does not have the item in stock or has limited quantities of the product?
Sometimes a qualifying competitor will advertise a product in ads and on its website as having limited quantities in stock. If the item is out of stock or the competitor has advertised limited quantities of an item, it is not eligible for price matching. Likewise, if APMEX has a product that is advertised as being limited in quantity, it will not be eligible for price matching.
Does APMEX price match "free gift with purchase" offers?
No. APMEX does not price match "free gift with purchase" orders. This includes free gift card with purchase offers.
Are quantities limited on price matched products?
We may limit the quantities of price-matched items, particularly if the competitor company does. In addition, we reserve the right to limit quantities sold to a customer based on our inventory position and the ability to acquire additional inventory on a timely basis.
- The item must be the identical item, brand name, size, weight, metal and purity.
- We are not able to predict the acquisition costs on secondary market products via our competitors' websites. As such, price matching only applies to current-year products for coins. Rounds and bars are able to be price-matched on an identical item basis (e.g., an SMI buffalo round is different than a RMC buffalo round).
- Price-matching applies to product premiums exclusive of spot price(s). If the competitor charges shipping, the shipping amount charged will be added into their premium for comparison purposes.
- $5,000 minimum order.
- Online competitor matches are limited to items sold and fulfilled by select competitors. Due to the ever-changing marketplace, we reserve the right to determine which competitors' products we will price match.
- The actual price of an item must be identifiable and valid at the time of match. We reserve the right to verify a competitor's advertised price and the availability of the item during the duration of the phone call. Competitors without published pricing on a public website, or competitor "over-the-phone" quotes, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- Price match policy only applies to new orders. Prior orders are not eligible for the Price Match Program regardless of when they were placed.
- Clearance, closeout, liquidation sales, special sales events (e.g., Black Friday, Cyber Monday, flash sales, etc.), damaged, used or open package items, unspecific offers, non-branded items, or prices that only display on a website after guests log in.
- Pricing or typographical errors, limited time or quantity offers, daily deals, coupon offers, credit card offers, gift card offers, financing, service offers, bundled offers, sales tax promotions, free items, rebates or mail-in offers.
- "Marketplace" prices and prices from third-party sellers (ex. eBay, auction sites, etc.) will not be honored.
- We are only able to price match products that are part of our assortment. We cannot price match competitor product exclusives, or products that are not identical in nature (e.g., a competitor's Highland Mint buffalo round versus a SMI buffalo round).

Deep down I think we all have a little "wanderlust" in us. We are born with an innate curiosity to see, explore and to learn. Some may only wander a few miles from home, while others may wander a few thousand miles.
As a product of the millennial generation I'm proud to call myself a dreamer, and at times an idealist. We millennials are often scoffed at because we move around, we change careers and we usually have an idea of what we want…and don't like to wait. Fortune said it perfectly in their article, "Everything You Need To Know About Your Millennial Co-Workers."
However, no generation better than us can recognize how quickly the world is moving, and if we don't keep up, opportunities easily slip through our fingertips. Before you know it someone else has your idea, has figured out how to market it better than you, and overnight has become a viral internet sensation.
With the internet at our fingertips, Curtiss and I constantly felt taunted by the photos of all of the beautiful places there are in the world staring back at us, and at the rate we were working, we would only be visiting those photos via Buzzfeed articles and travel blogs. Aside from the beautiful places we looked at, Curtiss marveled at artists who had the freedom to play any time of the year, all over the world.
This realization lead us to buying a utility trailer, having it shipped to us via a car ferry while living in Juneau, AK, converting it into a tiny house, selling nearly all of our belongings, walking away from our careers, and chasing Curtiss's dream of playing music professionally. It is, and might always be, one of the crazier things we'll do in this lifetime…but we wouldn't trade it for the world.
Here are 5 reasons why every millennial should travel:
- You learn how to talk to strangers. I know this seems contradictory to what we're taught as children, but there is a skill in having a conversation with someone you've never met before. As we've traveled across the country we have met so many young men & women who are similar to our age, yet can barely get past asking the basic conversation starters, "Where are you from?" "Where do you work?" "Where did you go to school?" before retreating to the safety of their smartphones. Without conversation you lose out on networking opportunities…
- You learn how to ask questions and when to accept help. Before hitting the road my stomach felt this little nervous flicker every time I had to call a business to ask if they hosted live music, or contacted a Harvest Host to ask if we could stay with them. I was much more comfortable e-mailing and hiding behind my keyboard. Especially in our technology saturated society it can be easy to forget how to be face to face with a stranger while asking a question, admitting you don't know something, or knowing when to accept help.
- You learn what's important to YOU. When traveling, away from the security and comfort of "home," you figure out what's important to you, whether it be heartfelt or trivial. You learn whether you can handle big cities, rural areas, whether you like the mountains, the ocean, the desert or something in between. You also learn whether you can handle being in the thick of our world's ever-changing weather, with few places to escape it. You learn if you can handle plans changing last minute or those same plans not going at all how you pictured they would. You learn whether you can live with a little bit of uncomfortableness, since traveling long and far distances isn't usually luxurious. Anything and everything happens while traveling and being out on the open road. It's a place to learn your limits and where you shine.
- You develop a greater appreciation for people. Time and time again we are blown away by people's generosity, open hearts, lending hands and welcoming smiles. In the books "The Kindess of Strangers," "Wild," or "Eat, Pray, Love"…and I'd hazard to guess most other "wanderlust" books, you read tales of others' experiences while traveling and all of them talk of the good people they meet. Traveling opens your eyes to the world, and all of the people who share it.
- You learn the internet isn't real life. As comical as it may sound, there is an incredible amount of negative news that circulates via social media, it's easy to fall victim to blanket statements that target specific populations, or find yourself asking, "Is this what our world is coming to?!" Of course I don't mean to turn a blind eye to the bad that does happen, but there is so much good that happens every day, yet is overlooked and not reported. Traveling helps you decide your own thoughts and opinions on tourist destinations, small towns, big cities, various states, aspects of our nation's history, and most importantly, the people. It gives you real life experiences you can't get by looking at a screen.
Since leaving our residence in Juneau, Alaska 9 months ago, we have traveled over 19,000 miles, driven through 27 states, have seen places that remain on people's bucket lists for years, and have met some of the most incredible people. We've learned more from traveling than any amount of education or jobs could have taught us. When we re-enter the workforce we will enter as new versions of ourselves. In the last 9 months we have experienced a lifetime of stories, and each of our experiences has helped us to better understand our world, the people we share it with, and most importantly, that anything is possible.

Unity Game Engine Goes Free For iOS, Android And BlackBerry 10 DevelopersMay 22, 2013, 08:00 (0 Talkback[s])
The barrier to entry for the Unity game rendering engine for developers on iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10 has gotten lower, as use of Unity tech is now free on both mobile platforms. Unity CEO David Helgason announced the changed terms today during the Unite Nordic trade conference, according to Pocket Gamer's Keith Andrew. The dropping of licensing fees for the engine's basic tier means that features which once cost $800 now carry no charge at all.

Pay-Per-Click Advertising for Home Performance Businesses: The Basics.
Pay per click advertising (PPC for short) often intimidates small business owners. There's something about the idea of paying for people to click to your website that becomes an impossible hurdle - what if the clicks aren't real? What if I spend too much and don't make any money? How do I know it's working? But the reality is that these same questions apply to essentially all traditional marketing efforts. Whether it's an ad on Google's search results or a more traditional print or TV ad many of the concerns are the same. The good news is that Google AdWords has many advantages over those traditional advertising channels.
PPC and Organic Search: Better Together.
Data indicates that pay-per-click and organic search perform best together -- so if you've been spending time fine-tuning your website with fresh, keyworded content to perform better in organic search results, you'll be more successful if you have a PPC campaign running simultaneously.
As an added benefit, organic terms that convert can be added to your PPC account, so you can regularly tweak your PPC campaign to increase your chances of success.
Particularly for "branded" searches (that is, when someone searches for your company with your company's name as a search term, rather than one of your offered services such as "energy audit"), it's important for your company's information to be displayed as prominently as possible. Organic search results, paid search results, anywhere on the page that you can get another link to your site will give you an advantage over competitors who are trying to capitalize on your site traffic.
Budget Controls.
Pay-per-click is budget-controlled, so you never have to spend more than you want to. You can control your budget on a daily basis, and analytic information allows you to understand how much you are paying per click, per conversion, and per acquisition. This gives you far more control than most traditional advertising campaigns.
PPC allows you to slice up your targeting in a number of ways: by state, city, zip code, country, time of day, day of week, language, and even mile-radius around geographic points. This allows you to target only those potential customers who are most likely to convert for your business.
Landing Pages.
Landing pages that are created to coincide with a specific campaign give you a huge advantage over traditional advertising channels, which typically only provide your business's name or a phone number. The advantage to landing pages is that they give you the power to control the entire user experience after they click the ad: for example, if your ad is targeted towards a state incentive program, you can brand your landing page with a logo representing the program, and information and calls to action that revolve around the specific deal offered.
Landing pages are also conversion-oriented: equipped with a contact form that users can fill out right on the page, they make it very easy for visitors to contact you. Compare this to a print ad, where people will at most see a phone number (which, even if they take the trouble to call it, may not necessarily lead you acquiring their contact info), and you'll see the advantage.
Rather than risking losing a potential customer to voicemail, or directing them to your generic homepage where they may not be sure if they're in the right spot, a landing page provides the opportunity to write highly targeted, specific, sales-oriented copy. A short contact form is a low barrier opportunity for conversion, as it doesn't require a ton of work on the part of your visitors.
In short, pay-per-click advertising can be a very effective, affordable way to drive traffic to your site and increase business.

Blake Shelton Gets Mullet Mocked, Kissed by Adam Levine on His Birthday
Blake Shelton turned 38 on Wednesday (June 18), and there was plenty of celebrating going on. And, as is the case whenever Adam Levine is involved, there was also plenty of humor.
Country fans may remember Shelton's signature mullet, which he sported for quite a while back in the day. Well, 'The Voice' team brought it back, covering the singer's trailer with old pictures of his long locks, captioning them with hilarious phrases like 'my apologies,' 'forgive me' and 'I'm sorry.'
We're having a little fun with @blakeshelton's trailer on his birthday. #TheVoice pic.twitter.com/W0HcuLoe7z
— The Voice (@NBCTheVoice) June 18, 2014
Birthday kisses from @blakeshelton's favorite bro! #TheVoice http://t.co/2EHz7ZvCXi
— The Voice (@NBCTheVoice) June 18, 2014
The 'Boys 'Round Here' singer even got a little smooch from his bro-mance partner Levine, nearly rounding out the perfect day.
Not to be outdone, Shelton's wife Miranda Lambert shared an absolutely adorable picture of the star as a child, writing, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best friend in the whole world! @blakeshelton I love you! (And your dimples!)."
Even with all of the hoopla surrounding his birthday, it didn't take Shelton long to pick out his favorite moment of turning 38. He tweeted: " Few things in my life have made my heart swell up like the birthday text I got from Earl Thomas Conley this morning.. #hero."

Did You Know?
You need not take the blame if you're unfamiliar with the origins of "exculpate," but there's a hint in this sentence. The word, which was adopted in the late 17th century from Medieval Latin exculpatus, traces back to the Latin noun culpa, meaning "blame." Some other descendants of "culpa" in English include "culpable" ("meriting condemnation or blame") and "inculpate" ("incriminate"), as well as the considerably rarer "culpatory" ("accusing") and "disculpate" (a synonym of "exculpate"). You may also be familiar with the borrowed Latin phrase mea culpa, which translates directly as "through my fault" and is used in English to mean "a formal acknowledgment of personal fault or error."
Origin and Etymology of exculpate
Medieval Latin exculpatus, past participle of exculpare, from Latin ex- + culpa blame

From the thin crack, teeter across the wall diagonally rightwards using a crucial pebble (which did come off but has been glued back on) and a ramp for the feet to desperately rounded ledges and a final easy crack.
The 'ledges' are extrememly rounded, and the only way to access them is by means of a difficult dyno, heart in mouth!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My wife is going to file for green card for me,I really want a good immigration lawyer to help me out through this,I honestly have a few friends who been through this,they tell me do it yourself,filling out the forms and sending them is a very simple thing to do,actually two of them did go to immigration attorneys and had bad experiences,the first one his lawyer didn't show up at the interview but sent a young lawyer in stead ! and the second one gave the other guy his file back to go to a different lawyer after working on his case for a year and told him she was sick !I know a lot of lawyers out there are excellent and easy to deal with,but its really a scary situation when you work hard to make that money then you don't get the service you deserve. what your take on this? i appreciatI appreciate all the answers ,thank you .
I agree with you regarding retaining counsel...but not just any lawyer. You must hire one who is committed to you and your case.
The first instance that you raised is a matter of your friend failing to specify he only wanted the partner or head of the firm to go to the interview. Sometimes that costs extra, but if you want the best you have to pay for the best. There was likely no agreement as to which lawyer would appear at the interview. And there was likely no prejudice.
The second instance is just a human issue. Someone got sick! Your friend is upset because another human got sick and couldn't represent him to the best of her ability? That's quite an unreasonable position by your friend.
There are many excellent lawyers who travel the country helping out great people in tough situations. Don't let those two situations steer you away from representation. In fact, remember that an experienced lawyer will have 100's of experiences above yours and your friends and will likely be ready for many variables that arise in the interviews.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleague.
This answer is of a general nature and should not be relied upon as final, nor is it intended as legal advice. Consult with a qualified attorney before making any legal decisions. Gen Kimura, (832) 247-6932.Ask a similar question
When someone asks me if it is necessary to have an attorney, I tell them that it is up to them. It is true you can find the forms and instructions online, but you have to be careful and make sure you cross every "t". The example I use is if someone wants to paint their house. It's not an extremely difficult task, but some people would rather do it themselves and some would rather pay someone to come do it for them and take the hassle out of it. It's kind of the same here. Some people can choose to file on their own, and some prefer to have an attorney do it for them so they don't have to mess with the hassle of knowing what documents need to be filed. Also, if you make a mistake, it may be more costly in the future because you will definitely need an attorney then.
As for your friends past experiences, every circumstance is a case-by-case basis. Maybe they had unfit attorneys, and maybe they were less than cooperative clients....I don't know. My best recommendation would be to interview a couple of attorneys and determine whom you think will do the best job for you. I would be glad to set up a consultation, or you can contact any of the qualified attorneys on AVVO. Good luck!
BRImmigrationLaw.com: This is not legal advice as many facts are still unknown, and an attorney-client relationship has not been created.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues, but one thing I would like to add is that immigration law is very complex. One detail can make the outcome of a case completely different. There is a list of factors that could make a person ineligible for a green card, and it is hard to know about all those factors unless you read and understand the law. At a minimum, if you had a consultation with a good immigration attorney, hopefully you will at least have an idea of any of those things apply to you. Good luck to you.Ask a similar question
The forms are deceptively easy but the legal ramifications of making a mistake can be wide carrying even up to the point of loosing all your fees and having to refile or ending up in deportation. Consult a competent counsel.Check on Avvo or AILA to find a good immigration attorney.Ask a similar question
There is a middle road. I suggest that you schedule a consultation with an immigration attorney that handles mainly immigration matters. Immigration law is fascinating, but very complex.
Write your questions down prior to the consultation and make sure you express all concerns to the attorney. It's perfectly OK to ask who will be attending the interview, who will be the interface person, etc. You can make your decision as to hiring the lawyer depending on how your case is explained to you and how your concerns are addressed.

Healthiest Meals on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Meals to Eat and Why: Jonny Bowden
1 Recommendation
zoewscott's recommendation
This is one of my favorite cook books ever! It's got a bunch of great meals that are very easy to prepare, but are also very healthy. Dr. Bowden simplifies healthy cooking, making it as straight forward as possible for the reader. His recipes are not just easy to follow, but they are delicious. I recently made his Thai Spiced Prawns and Curried Quinoa dishes for my Dad's birthday. The meal didn't take long to prepare, and it was a huge hit! No one even knew they were eating some of the healthiest foods under the sun! I highly recommend this book for any health minded cooks, parents, and dinner hosts out there! Worth mentioning also- Dr. Bowden included a section in his book with vegeterian and vegan meals, and in many recipes he will provide a vegeterian or vegan alternative.

Banking On a Mini Name
Naturally, the Baltimore Orioles lost to the New York Yankees on Monday, so our chances for a sweep of the series are gone. In spite of that, I have decided to take a peek into the microcap section of my bank stock portfolio and give you two local names that I own and have been involved with for years now. I had sold them both back in 2006 when the valuation pushed the upper end of what I could justify and have since repurchased the shares when bank stocks collapsed in the credit crisis. Both are located in Annapolis, Md. and both have the potential to recover along with the historically very strong local real estate markets.
Both of these banks are also really small and are not heavily traded, so please be careful trading these stocks. You need to be able to hold them for a long period of time as well. If something else goes wrong in the real estate markets or the overall economy, they will decline. Also, their less-than-liquid trading conditions will make it difficult to sell them at a reasonable price....577 more words left in this article.

Heinrich I is the last part of the Operation Resurrection mission of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and the place of the final battle against Heinrich I.
Mission BriefingEdit
Walkthrough - Mission 8 (Operation Resurrection), Part 3 - Heinrich I
We have more cutscene action as Blavatsky raises Heinrich from the dead and sacrifices all three Super Soldiers into Dark Knights (thank holy mother of god we don't fight three Super Soldiers as well as Heinrich) and then talks to Heinrich for all of 5 seconds. Heinrich, obviously confused, decides the best way to thank Blavatsky is to turn her into a zombie. Pleasant. However, he ominously says that he senses the presence of another. Yep, that's right, B.J. is here and he's not happy. Time to break up this party and ensure Heinrich dies - this time, for good!
Having failed to stop the ritual and resurrection ceremony (plot event, so it has to happen) it's now up to you and only you to kill Heinrich I. Grab all of the ammunition at the beginning of the level, because you can't get back to it (the game hates us like that). Then, proceed forth to the final area of the game, in which mortal faces off against the undead.
There are three main targets here - the Dark Knights, who are easy to kill, Blavatsky, who is annoying as hell but is still a zombie, so she's also easy to kill, and then of course, we have Heinrich himself, who is both annoying as hell and NOT easy to kill. The Snooper Rifle doesn't really work here, so that's that magic weapon gone. Small arms don't really work either, because they are a bit weak against heavily-armoured super monster thingies. Time for you to pull out your biggest guns, then, and let slip the dogs of war on this undead SoB. Firstly, kill the Dark Knights, because they may be cannon fodder, but they can get in the way. The best way to think of them is as tougher Zombie Warriors with the swords and shields, and so don't shoot them with their shields raised, because apparently 1000-year old shields made almost wholly of rust can deflect bullets in this game. Killing them will remove one annoyance. Now it's on to Blavatsky. Blavatsky herself summons flying spectre thingies that, when they hit you, turn your screen black for a second and make B.J. make a weird noise (I think they're trying to possess him or something). Killing her lessens the number of these bloody things, so do it ASAP.
Finally, it's on to Heinrich. Getting too close to him means he hits you with his sword. It does a ton of damage, so melee attacks are, suffice to say, not recommended. He can also summon those spectre thingies, which are VERY annoying, but only if you go outside the circle - therefore, stay inside at all times. He can also bring down a rockfall on your head that make squishity noises when they hit you. Dodging these rockfalls is a bit of a challenge for most players, because it involves jumping around at random whilst sprinting, and hoping to god that you don't get smashed. Heinrich is pretty much a Super Soldier in terms of weapon usage. Using the Mauser or FG42 is all right against him, but they're not great. If you want MAXIMUM DAMAGE (tm) then you should use a combination of Tesla gun (with some additional ammo in the final area on some crates, it's nice of them to allow us to refill our ammo) and a Panzerfaust. Because, let's face it, hollow charge weaponry goes through steel plate armour like no tomorrow. If you run out of cells, then switch to the Venom. His greatest weaknesses is that when his three zombies go down, he will stop for a few seconds and focus his attention on raising them again. During this time, you can shoot him with impunity. Killing Heinrich takes luck, effort and skill, but at the end, you get to piss off Himmler! Isn't that great?

Hardly anyone reading this needs to be told that gas prices have risen at a rate normally only seen in the Gulf States right after a devastating hurricane. Most days last week, the numbers on those big signs jumped overnight, as much as 20 cents in one instance.
The situation is supposed to be temporary, but obviously people who chose a fuel efficient car in recent years are a little better equipped to deal with the sticker shock. If, for example, you drive a car that can manage 40 miles per gallon (many hybrid and even some non-hybrids can achieve this), even this huge price increase is only running you an extra $5-6 for 200 miles worth of driving.
The Automobile Club of Southern California has just published its 2012 Green Car Guide, obviously planned as a resource for being a little gentler to the environment. But "green" also translates to "fuel efficient" in most every case, so their new publication is also helpful in finding a car that'll maximize each gallon.
If you happen to be in the market for a new car, it can be a big help, available to Club members in print form or to anyone via their web site. We've seen a trend in recent years of people seeking to improve their fuel economy, and cars overall are more fuel efficient than they were five years ago.
But what if you need to keep the car you have; can it be a little more fuel efficient? Of course. You just need to start paying attention to your driving habits. The Auto Club says the things that'll work best are to slow down, drive smoothly, and accelerate more gently.
The web site Edmunds.com agrees, and even has results from tests they've run over the years, doing back-to-back comparisons on several types of vehicles. Some of the advice we've been given over the years works, and some actually doesn't help much.
First up: driving gently instead of roaring away from every intersection with your foot on the floor. The testers at Edmunds found that this could improve your gas mileage by as much as 37 percent in some cases, and an average of 31 percent in the vehicles they tested.
The same goes for driving the speed limit, instead of tempting fate and exceeding it. Traveling at, say, 75 miles per hour instead of 65 can really waste fuel. Edmunds' testing revealed that keeping speeds at the posted limit saved an average of 12 to 14 percent.
Along those lines, using cruise control on a long drive can save you 7 to 14 percent, says Edmunds. Yes, your car is smarter than you when it comes to applying the throttle smoothly and maintaining speed.
But not every tip you may have heard actually works. Edmunds editors put the old "turn off the a/c and open the windows" trick to the test. (The conventional wisdom was also that it was better to keep a/c on when traveling the freeways, as the airflow into the open windows was worse on mileage than the air conditioner working.) In the end the difference either way was negligible, so stay comfortable and leave the air on if you like.
Finally, it's been drilled into our heads that improper tire pressure is a big fuel-waster. As it turns out, when Edmunds actually did the testing the difference was only about 1-3 percent. Obviously you still need to keep your tires properly inflated for safety reasons as well as tire wear, so don't just ignore them.
Most folks were probably taught these little tips over the years, especially every time gas prices started rising rapidly. But when the price goes back down, it's likely that those old fuel-wasting habits start creeping back in to our driving. Put them to use, and that pain at the pump might hurt just a little bit less.
I'll see you down the road.

Pirates notebook: McCutchen says benching was the 'right move'
ST. LOUIS — Trailing by five runs midway through the game Friday night, the Pirates figured their best chance for a comeback involved putting All-Star Andrew McCutchen on the bench.
The gambit failed, as the St. Louis Cardinals still ran away with a 9-1 victory. On the day after, McCutchen's reaction was ... acceptance.
"It was the right move for the team," McCutchen said.
McCutchen made the final out in the top of the fifth inning. Bench coach Jeff Banister — who ran the team after manager Clint Hurdle was ejected in the first — opted to make a double switch. Relief pitcher Jared Hughes went into McCutchen's No. 3 spot and new outfielder Jose Tabata went into the game batting ninth.
"At that point, my main concern was protecting the bullpen," Banister said. "We had a chance to get back in that game and win it, and we needed pitching. You always hate to take a guy like McCutchen out of the game, but it was the right decision."
Tabata grounded out in the seventh and singled in the ninth. McCutchen's spot didn't come up until the eighth inning —Gaby Sanchez pinch-hit for Hughes and was hit by a pitch.
Hurdle not only supported the double-switch decision, he suggested it to Banister from his post-ejection exile in the clubhouse.
"It's the only time after I've been thrown out of a game that I've sent down my thoughts on a situation," Hurdle said. "I wanted to make sure we did what's best for the team."
"I've seen (Albert) Pujols double-switched for in the sixth inning. I've seen really good players double-switched for before. But here it hasn't happened before, so it brings questions. But if you sit down and think it through, it makes the most sense to go about it the way we did."
Hurdle pointed out that McCutchen batted with at least one runner on base in the first, third and fifth innings — and did not get a hit. After going 0 for 4 Saturday, McCutchen is batting .216 and is stuck in a 1-for-25 slump.
"Obviously, this hasn't been his best week swinging the bat, so, c'mon," Hurdle said.
Hurdle and Banister could have chosen to take right fielder Travis Snider, who batted second, out of the lineup instead of McCutchen.
"If it would've cost us another pitcher, it would have been a very badly played team move," Hurdle said. "So we put ourselves in the best possible position we could for the team to get through the game with the pitching we had available. Unfortunately, a lot of people can't see that."
Snider sore, scratched
Snider was scratched from the lineup Saturday due to what a team official described as "discomfort in his right side." He felt the injury on the last couple swings in batting practice.
"I didn't feel anything grab or rip or anything along those lines," Snider said. "But when you're dealing with rotational muscles and you feel that fatigue and tightness catch up to you, you've got to take a day."
No DL Walker ... yet
The Pirates hope to avoid putting second baseman Neil Walker on the disabled list, although he is expected to miss at least five more days due to a deep cut on the knuckle near his right index finger.
Hurdle said he's gotten two different time frames from doctors about how long it should take Walker to recover.
"We'll take it day by day," Hurdle said. "If it gets to a point where it's problematic to keep him on the (active) roster, then we might have to go in a different direction. Initially, we'll try to play with out him. We'll probably lean on Brandon (Inge) with John McDonald probably picking up a start there as well."
As he slid into second base in the eighth inning Friday, Walker was spiked by Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma.
"You try to play the game the right way, you try to break up a double play, and sometimes this stuff happens," Walker said. "Hopefully, it will heal quickly. It was very, very deep — the deepest cut I've had. Fortunately, it didn't hit an tendon or get the bone. It could have been worse."

In Stereotypes
10 Aurora Stereotypes That Are Completely AccurateIf you care way too much about red light cameras, the "Bubble Building" and county lines--and not enough about legal pot--chances are, you're an Auroran.
The author's posts are entirely his or her own and may not always reflect the views of Movoto.
1. Aurorans All Live In Trailer Parks
Source: Flickr user Travis MortzOK so not everyone shuns a house without wheels in this city, but Aurora does have one of the Denver metro area's highest concentration of mobile home communities. Some of the parks are pretty decent, others, well...they're cheap, and affordable housing isn't always easy to come by in a major urban area. Plus, where else can you accessorize with a tasteful display of frolicking pink flamingos without pissing off some spoilsport HMO?
2. Aurorans Are A Bunch Of Jocks
Source: Flickr user quiltsaladAurora actually received the accolade of Sportstown, U.S. A. in "Sports Illustrated's" 50th anniversary edition, and for more than just rooting on the Broncos, too. Aurora's many sports fields play host to more than 30 national, as well as regional, tournaments each year. A number of home-grown athletes, like Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin, baseball player Danny Jackson and football player Joel Steed have gone on to find success in the big leagues, too.
3. There's No Such Thing As A Native Auroran
Source: Flickr user Permanently ScatterbrainedAsk anyone in Aurora where they are from and they will say somewhere, anywhere else. That's because Aurora has a high number of recent immigrants-new residents arriving all the time from far-flung locations such as Somalia, Russia, Nigeria and Bhutan. African, Asian and Hispanic businesses thrive along Parker Road and Peoria Street, while South Havana Street is the go-to spot for international cuisine ranging from Korean bibimbap to Ethiopian yedoro wat to Mexican carnitas to proper British scones.
4. Aurorans Love To Get Down And Dirty On East Colfax
Source: Flickr user pams picsColfax Avenue was once referred to by "Playboy" magazine, expert on all things naughty, as "the longest, wickedest street in America." East Colfax, which runs through Aurora, has done little to belie this bad rep throughout the years. It's known for its dive bars and cheap motels (some renting rooms by the hour), and is a haven for purveyors of illegal substances and ladies of easy (and affordable) virtue. The No. 15 bus, which many Aurorans ride to work, is notorious for being the ride from hell, so much so that it even inspired a song by Spiv called "the Dirty 15."
5. Aurorans Are Still Celebrating The Demise Of The Loathed "Bubble Building"The Fan Fare Building, which was thrown up in 1961, inspired countless Aurorans to do just that ever since as a classic example of Midcentury Hideous. What's worse, this one-time indoor flea market stood unused since 1985 when its last tenant, an electric company, abandoned it to the rats and spiders. This asbestos-filled hulk squatted on the corner of 3rd and Havana for nearly 30 years until the city government, after much foot-dragging, (and Auroran chin-wagging) finally got around to knocking it down earlier this year. The plot of land Fan Fare once (dis)graced is now a somewhat more scenic vacant lot, as the city has no imminent plans for its re-use, but Aurorans all breathed a collective sigh of relief once the demolition was done.
6. Aurorans Are Super Pissed Off About The City's Red-Light Cameras
Source: theilrWhile the death of bubble building marks a victory for Aurorans the battle over the red light cameras has just begun. Aurora has traffic enforcement cameras installed at 14 intersections, but most Aurorans don't feel any safer on the roads with these in place. In fact, they think it's all a scam, just another attempt by the city government to stick its hands in their pockets. Evidence suggests they may be right - in 2012 the city collected a cool $3.2 million from issuing photo citations, and yet statistics show that accidents at many of these intersections have actually increased. A Facebook page called No Red Light Cameras in Aurora, Colorado was launched in June of 2013, and has garnered nearly 1,500 likes from pissed-off Aurorans.
7. Aurorans Are A Bunch of Buzzkills
Source: nofuncity.orgWhen Colorado passed Amendment 64 in 2012 legalizing recreational marijuana, Aurorans were all about harshing their states mellow. While Denver currently has over 70 marijuana dispensaries, there are currently a grand total of zero shops in Aurora that sell cannabis for medical or any other type of use. In other words, the only thing a mile high in Aurora, is the ground it built on. In comparison, the city has about 35 bars and 85 liquor stores, since most Aurorans still prefer the "drug you chug" to bong hits.
8. Aurorans Lose Their $#!7 Over County Lines--No Seriously, They Really Care About This
Source: memegenerator.netAurora is currently split between three counties: Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas. Most Aurorans find this pointlessly confusing and irritating, since you can cross town and never be quite sure just what jurisdiction you're in or whose traffic court you'll need to go to should you happen to get a parking ticket. The city periodically floats the idea to establish Aurora as a separate city-county, as is the case with neighboring Denver and with Broomfield to the north, but most Aurora residents are somewhat leery of the plan. While it would tend to reduce the confusion and help the city to establish its own identity, they suspect it would likely come with a hefty price tag. Rather than have their tax dollars finance new government buildings, many Aurorans would just as soon see their entire city become part of Arapahoe County.
9. Aurorans Suffer From A Chronic Suburb Inferiority Complex
Source: ABCAurora is a major city in its own right, in fact, it's the third-largest in the state of Colorado. It's got award-winning schools hospitals, military bases, over 100 parks and recreation areas, and 26 historic sites and landmarks, and yet.and yet...it seems no-one ever thinks of it as anything other than a Denver suburb. Aurorans, needless to say, are less than thrilled about this. Although their population is still smaller than that of its neighbor to the west, they point out that much of their land is still undeveloped, so, unlike Denver, they've got plenty of room to grow. A former Aurora mayor even expressed the hope that someday the region would be known as the Aurora/Denver Metropolitan Area, but until this pipe dream comes to pass, Aurorans are stuck living in the shadow of that other city.
10. Aurorans Are Resilient In The Face Of Tragedy
Source: Justice for Aurora Colorado Shooting Victims via FacebookThe city of Aurora finally gained national recognition in July of 2012, but it wasn't for something that any Auroran could feel proud of. Instead, the city became notorious as the site of one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, as a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 more during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." Rather than letting themselves be defined as "that place with the Batman shooting," however, Aurorans rose to the occasion, erecting a memorial to the victims outside the Century 16 Theater and turning out in droves for its reopening six months later to attend a memorial ceremony honoring those who died. Aurora mayor Steve Hogan characterized his city as "a community of survivors," and that's exactly what they are: sporty, trailer-living, pot-abstaining, red light camera-hating, survivors. And that's just how they like it.
