On Operation Fast and Furious…
If you were Hispanic, and you learned that the president of the United States had allowed assault weapons to be walked across the border to drug cartels and be used to kill hundreds of Mexicans...? That would tick me off if I were Hispanic. If I were Mexican, that would particularly tick me off. If I were Hispanic or Mexican, I'd be asking myself, "Why did they do this? What was the point? Why give these people guns?" People in Mexico are scared to literal death of these drug cartels and these gangs. They are more powerful than the Federales in many cases. They put the fear of death in everybody, and here the Obama administration is arming them.
June 20, 2012
On the spreading scandal of Operation Fast and Furious…
What was Fast and Furious? As simply put as I can make it: Fast and Furious was an American government program authored by the Obama Administration to arm violent drug gangs in Mexico with American weapons from Arizona, primarily. Assault rifles and deadly weapons were purchased from gun stores in Arizona and walked across the border to Mexico on purpose. This resulted in the death of scores of people, including a man named Brian Terry, a border agent for … our government. Now we all know what the purpose of this was. The purpose of this was to gin up anti-Amendment 2 sentiment among the people in this country. The objective was – and this is where the irony steps in – the objective was to have news stories where everybody was shocked and stunned and saddened – "Guns! Purchased! By drug cartel members in America! Look how easy it was! End up in Mexico? Owned by violent drug gangs and used in the commission of heinous crimes! Why, our gun laws are too lax!" The sentiment among people in this country is to maintain the Second Amendment. The American people don't want, by a vast majority, ANY gun control legislation. But that doesn't matter to people like President Kardashian, or Eric Holder, or any of the Democrat party on the left. They don't want you to have guns, and so it doesn't matter about the constitution, and it doesn't matter about the will of the American people. They don't want you to have guns, and they're going to find a way to make sure that you don't. And that's what Fast and Furious was, as simply put as I can make it.
October 31, 2011
On media allegations that Herman Cain made unspecified physical gestures which were not overtly sexual but which nonetheless left unidentified women in his presence "uncomfortable" fifteen years ago…
Obama's a can't-do Presidency – Solyndra, Fast and Furious, the absolute scandal that is the Porkulus Stimulus, the destruction of the U.S. economy – and The Politico and the mainstream media have launched an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent self-reliant conservative black because that is not allowed… What would the left be doing right now if, let's say, there were an assault on Obama of this nature. Let's say some conservative publication ran a story exactly like this – unnamed sources, fifteen years ago, every detail, Obama, sexual harassment. What would the Democrat National Committee and what would the media be doing? They would be going after the women. They would be targeting these women, and they would name names, and they would destroy them. That is what the Democrats and the media would do. They would set out to find out who these women are that would talk to the conservative publication, and they would destroy them.
July 8, 2011
On the government program that spent over fifty-three million dollars of taxpayers' money to buy guns for Mexican drug lords.
Justice.gov, – web site – located, on page 96, of a report on this program – 2009, February: The Recovery Act, signed into law, allocated ten million dollars to ATF for Project Gunrunner... Stimulus money paid for this, is what has been discovered. Stimulus money paid for Fast and Furious. Ten million dollars was allocated in the Stimulus bill to buy machine guns and revolvers, and let Mexican drug lords take them across the border, back to Mexico. Stimulus money. That shovel-ready job stuff? You remember that. Right here it is, 2009, February, Recovery Act signed into law allocated ten million dollars to ATF for Project Gunrunner. 2009 June Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2009 allocated an additional six million dollars to the ATF for Project Gunrunner. Which means we can trace the money back to Obama ... You can trace the money back to the Department of Justice. They administer the program. Stimulus money. This is important because now there is a way to follow the money. This is stunning. Fast and Furious funded by the Porkulus bill. 2010, August, Emergency Border Security Supplemental Appropriations Bill of 2010, allocated thirty-seven and a half million dollars to the ATF for Project Gunrunner. Just a little over a year ago. Another thirty-seven and a half million. There's more money from Obama's stash. So, let's add it up. Ten million in February 2009, six million in June of 2009 – so that's a total of sixteen million in 2009. Then in 2010 thirty-seven and a half million. So. Fifty three and a half million dollars, spent on this program – to buy machine guns and revolvers. Fifty three and a half million dollars. All taxpayer dollars.

I have been working at Trader Joe's
Pros – If you love food, people, and variety, Trader Joe's is fantastic. Your functions change throughout the day, management gives you a lot of autonomy in deciding how to handle situations that come up. Trader Joe's treats employees with respect and gives benefits even to PT employees.
Cons – Working weekends is a must... hard for a family person. Also, if you want to move into management, you have to be willing to move around a lot.
Advice to Senior Management – Mostly I only have positive things to say. If there were any way to work out the weekend issue and ensure a stable home life (i.e. being able to move into management without moving around geographically) it would be a perfect job!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University's women's basketball team had all five starters finish with double-digit points and shot 52.6% from the field as a team, but it came down to one missed free throw that Georgia College's Brandi McKinney converted into a last second layup. That layup gave the Bobcats a 72-71 victory Saturday night inside Memorial Hall Gymnasium and kept them perfect in Peach Belt Conference action while the Saints suffered their first conference loss of the season.
North Georgia had entered the weekend as one of only three unbeaten teams in conference play in the West Division along with Georgia College and nationally-ranked Clayton State University but the loss drops them to 4-6 for the year and 2-1 in league action while falling to fourth in the division. The win keeps the Bobcats atop of the division standings with No. 4 Clayton State with a 4-0 mark in the Peach Belt and 8-3 record overall.
While North Georgia was efficient from the field, converting 30 of 57 shots that included 9-of-18 from three-point range, the Saints were unable to capitalize on the few chances they were given from the free throw line. Combined, the Saint Women went 2-7 from the charity stripe while the Bobcat Women were able to convert all four of their attempts.
The starting five for the Saints all finished with double-digit point totals led by junior forward Jaymee Carnes and sophomore guard Stephanie Huffman. Neither of the duo left the court during the contest as Carnes led the team with 17 points ahead of Huffman's 16. Both were also very close to earning double-doubles with Huffman leading all players with nine rebounds ahead of Carnes' eight boards.
The duo of freshmen guards Keeley Chester and Molley Rainwater ended with 11 and 14 points respectively while junior transfer Mimi Hill wrapped up her 36 minutes of action with 10 points. Hill also put her size to good use as she collected seven rebounds.
Georgia College finished the 40 minutes shooting 42.6% (29-68) from the field led by McKinney's 23 points off the bench. She alone went 9-18 that included sinking a game-high five three-pointers to go along with two rebounds, two assists and two steals.
The other two players to finish in double-digit point totals were Shanteona Keys with 17 and Enisha Donley with 14 points.
The Bobcats showed what a dangerous team they could be from the start as they jumped out to a 6-0 lead off a pair of three-pointers from Thresia Elskamp and Keys before Rainwater put the Saints on the board with a trey of her own three minutes into the contest.
From there, the two teams continued to light up the scoreboard, going point-for-point with the Saints unable to find a lead until a three-pointer from Chester with 1:40 remaining in the half gave North Georgia the 28-25 lead.
North Georgia ended the final two minutes of the opening half of play on a 7-2 run to give the Saints a 32-27 lead at the break.
Despite Georgia College scoring the first two points of the second half, Carnes was able to answer and four minutes into the stanza, Hill was able to give the Saints an 11-point, 42-31 lead.
But Georgia College would not go away and slowly worked to within just one point of North Georgia with 16 seconds remaining as Donley made a jumper.
On the ensuing drive, Carnes was fouled in a 1-and-1 situation, but her shot looped out of the rim and fell to Elskamp. The Bobcats were able to work the clock down and eventually got the ball to their hottest shooter, McKinney who drove into the lane and laid the ball up with just one second remaining, giving the Saints no chance to match.
North Georgia has one more home game before hitting the road again for another pair of games. The Saints will unveil the school's new name on Thursday, January 10 and will play under the new name, the University of North Georgia, for the first time at 5:30 p.m. when the University of Montevallo (8-5, 3-1 PBC) comes to Dahlonega for another key PBC West Division matchup. The game will also serve as North Georgia's "Greek Life Night."

Another way to save water is to ask yourself "Does this really need washing?"
A lot of times, people wear clothes for only a few hours, and then discard
them as "Dirty". Use discretion in when you wash your clothes.
Washing machines have come a long way in the past few years. Newer
models are more energy- and water-efficient than ever. Horizontal-axis
(or front loading) washing machines are becoming more popular. These
attractive and space-conserving machines use about half the water
of conventional washing machines. They have also been found to wash
clothes better than standard models, and require less detergent
per load (reducing the potential amount of chemicals entering the
wastewater system).
If you would like to replace your washing machine, take alook at how the Consumer
Reports Magazine rated the various designs.

Entering his 14th season as head coach of the South Dakota State University women's basketball team, Aaron Johnston has taken the Jackrabbit program to the top of NCAA Division II and is leading SDSU to national prominence at the Division I level.
Johnston enters the 2013-14 campaign with a career record of 315-108 (.745 winning percentage), becoming South Dakota State's winningest women's basketball coach during the 2012-13 season. He recorded win No. 302 at Oakland on Jan. 10, 2013, to pass his predecessor, Nancy Neiber, who compiled a 301-140 record in 16 seasons from 1985-2000. Johnston posted his 200th career victory on Dec. 4, 2008, against Centenary (La.) and career win No. 300 versus Kansas City on Jan. 3, 2013. His career totals have included an 89-17 record (.840 winning percentage) in Summit League regular season games, a perfect 15-0 mark in Summit League postseason tournament contests and a 16-9 mark (.640 winning percentage) in postseason games.
The Summit League Coach of the Year in each of the Jackrabbits' first two seasons in the league and again during the 2011-12 season, Johnston was named a finalist for the 2009 Naismith Award as the nation's top coach. SDSU tied a school record for victories in a season with 32 during the 2008-09 campaign and gained national attention by vaulting into the top 25 in December after non-conference victories over the likes of Wisconsin, Utah, Minnesota and Gonzaga (Wash.). The Jackrabbits were ranked in the final 13 USA Today/ESPN regular season coaches' polls, climbing as high as 14th in the coaches' poll and 16th in the Associated Press poll. SDSU finished the 2008-09 season ranked 19th in the coaches' poll.
Along the way to a 32-3 overall record, the Jackrabbits received national media coverage from CBS Sports, USA Today, ESPN.com and The New York Times.
Although the Jackrabbits came up short in their bid win a third consecutive Summit League regular season title during the 2009-10 season, third-seeded SDSU repeated as conference tournament champions by defeating top-seeded Oral Roberts, 79-75, in overtime. SDSU's second consecutive NCAA Tournament bid marked its fourth consecutive postseason appearance at the Division I level.
Despite an up-and-down regular season during the 2010-11 campaign, SDSU became the first Summit League team to win three consecutive postseason tournament titles, claiming the 2011 championship with a 61-54 victory over Oakland (Mich.). The Jackrabbits rebounded from a 4-9 start to win eight in a row and 11 of 12 games, entering an NCAA Tournament matchup at Xavier (Ohio) with a 19-13 overall record.
The Jackrabbits returned to the top of the Summit League during the 2011-12 campaign, winning the regular season title with a 16-2 mark in league play. SDSU continued its mastery in the Summit League postseason tournament, recording a 78-77 overtime victory over UMKC for its fourth consecutive tourney title. The Jackrabbits trailed by as many as 17 points before rallying.
SDSU continued its Summit League dominance during the 2012-13 season, repeating as both Summit League regular season and tournament champions. The Jackrabbits posted a 14-2 mark in league play and rallied for a 56-53 victory over in-state rival South Dakota in the championship game.
Johnston laid the foundation to a successful transition to Division I by leading SDSU to three consecutive NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearances, including the first national championship in the program's history during the 2002-03 season.
During their championship run, which culminated with a 65-50 victory over Northern Kentucky in the NCAA Division II championship game in St. Joseph, Mo., the Jackrabbits compiled a school-record 32 wins against just three losses. SDSU also earned a share of its first-ever North Central Conference title with a 14-2 record in league play. After leading SDSU to unprecedented success, Johnston was named the 2003 Molten/Women's Division II Bulletin Coach of the Year.
The Jackrabbits attained much of the same success in the 2003-04 season, earning a share of their second consecutive North Central Conference title and winning the North Central Regional for the third consecutive year. SDSU finished the 2003-04 season with a 26-7 mark, falling to eventual national champion California (Pa.) in the first round of the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
With South Dakota State moving up to NCAA Division I during the 2004-05 season, the Johnston-led Jackrabbits posted their fourth consecutive 20-win season, finishing with a 21-7 record. That mark included an 8-7 record against Division I opponents, highlighted by victories over NCAA Tournament qualifier Middle Tennessee State and Southeastern Conference opponents Alabama and Kentucky.
The Jackrabbits continued their rise in the Division I ranks with a 19-9 record in 2005-06, then put together a breakthrough campaign during the 2006-07 season by posting a 25-6 overall record and becoming the first team in transition to reach the postseason, reaching the quarterfinals of the Women's NIT. SDSU won WNIT home games against Illinois State and Indiana before falling at Wyoming.
Johnston led the Jackrabbits into another new era as South Dakota State began play in The Summit League during the 2007-08 season. SDSU continued its run of success by winning the Summit League regular season title — the program's first outright conference championship. The Jackrabbits completed a 16-2 mark in league play and 23-7 overall record for their sixth 20-win season in Johnston's eight years as head coach. SDSU posted a 12-game winning streak to conclude conference play and earn their second consecutive berth in the WNIT. However, SDSU's home-court advantage was not enough as the Jackrabbits fell to a hot-shooting Creighton (Neb.) squad, 76-69, in the tournament's first round.
SDSU repeated as Summit League regular season champions during the 2008-09 season, improving by one game to a 17-1 record in league play. The Jackrabbits went into the Summit League Championships as the No. 1 seed and lived up to their billing by winning the conference tournament in Sioux Falls, S.D., with three double-digit victories. SDSU overcame a 14-point halftime deficit in the championship game, rallying for a 79-69 victory over Oakland (Mich.).
With their conference tournament victory, the Jackrabbits became only the second team to earn a berth in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament in its first year of eligibility. Seventh-seeded SDSU opened NCAA Tournament play in Lubbock, Texas, with a 90-55 victory over Texas Christian, tying a school and tournament record with 16 three-pointers. The Jackrabbits were on the verge on reaching the Sweet 16 before falling in the final seconds to second-seeded Baylor (Texas), 60-58.
During their first three seasons at the Division I level, the Jackrabbits dominated the independent ranks by posting a 19-2 overall record against fellow D-I independents, including an 18-0 record the last two seasons. In both the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons Johnston was honored as the Division I Independent Women's Basketball Coach of the Year.
Johnston first became associated with the Jackrabbit women's basketball team when he spent the 1999-2000 season as assistant coach under Nancy Neiber. After Neiber took a leave of absence late in the season, Johnston coached the Jackrabbits to a 4-2 record in the final six games of the season as as SDSU finished the season with a 19-8 overall record, 11-7 in NCC play. One of the Jackrabbits' victories was over second-ranked and eventual national runner-up North Dakota State.
When the interim label was removed from his title on June 30, 2000, Johnston became the seventh head coach in the modern era of South Dakota State University women's basketball, which began in 1967.
In the 2000-01 season, his first full season as Jackrabbit head coach, Johnston led SDSU to a 15-12 overall record. That mark included a North Central Conference record of 9-9, which earned the Jackrabbits a berth in the seven-team Wells Fargo Finals conference postseason tournament.
During the 2001-02 season, Johnston led a Jackrabbit squad which included just two seniors and nine freshmen to SDSU's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. The Jackrabbits compiled a 28-9 record, setting a then-school record for wins in a season.
Not only have Johnston's teams performed well on the court, they have excelled in the classroom. The Jackrabbits have finished no worse than third among Division I programs in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for seven of the past eight seasons, and led all divisions of women's basketball in team grade-point average four times — three consecutive seasons (2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08) and again during the 2010-11 campaign.
A native of Pine Island, Minn., "A.J." earned a bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. After serving one year as an assistant coach at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, he moved on to SDSU as a graduate assistant for the Jackrabbit men's basketball team for two seasons before becoming assistant women's coach. He also coached the SDSU golf teams one year.

Fantasy baseball 2013 draft preview: AL sleepers
Fantasy baseball 2013 draft prep central: Rankings, position primers and much more
Despite our best efforts to confuse fantasy owners with our breakouts (players you were already well aware of, but didn't realize could be elite) and busts (players you thought were solid picks, but come with considerable risk), you're going to really enjoy our team-by-team sleeper candidates. These players are talented yet underrated commodities, so they're positioned to outperform their draft slots.
Everyone loves a sleeper in fantasy, but the key is finding the guys who haven't gained too much steam. After all, a sleeper is only a sleeper if everyone in your draft allows him to slip into the later rounds.
Don't reach for these guys or boldly tout their merits, but if they fall to you, grab them and thank us later.
AL: Breakouts | Busts | Sleepers
NL: Breakouts | Busts | Sleepers
Baltimore Orioles:
• Sleeper -- SP Zach Britton (25 years old): Britton exemplifies how young pitching is great ... three years from now. He started his rookie year off like a ball of fire, but regressed in the year and a half after. Now, he's merely competing for a rotation spot. If Britton wins one and pitches up to his potential, he is going to rate as one of the best reserve picks in fantasy this year.
• Honorable mention -- 1B Chris Davis (26): A career-high 33 homers and 85 RBI should elevate his draft status, but inconsistency throughout his young career will keep Davis' draft position modest. The fact that he turns 27 before the season begins should lead fantasy owners to believe last year's breakthrough was more of a coming-of-age than a fluke.
Boston Red Sox:
• Sleeper -- SP Clay Buchholz (28): Buchholz was set up for a breakthrough with the return of pitching guru John Farrell as manager and the progress Buchholz showed after the first month and a half, when his ERA was more than 8.00. This stands to be the first season Buchholz surpasses 200 innings, and he should prove more consistent than he was a year ago. We will see the good Buchholz this year, so he'll bring value as a late-round pick.
• Honorable mention -- SS Stephen Drew (29): Fenway has turned far less talented infielders like Bill Mueller, Marco Scutaro and Mike Aviles into useful fantasy players, and Drew is more talented than any of them going in. He's turning 30 this year, and the hint of the player who went .291/21 in 2008 is still there ... somewhere. Fenway Park might just be the perfect change of scenery.
New York Yankees:
• Sleeper -- OF Brett Gardner (29): When healthy, Gardner can steal 50 bases and score 100 runs. He's coming off an injury-plagued year, and the Yankees sorely need some youth and athleticism in their lineup. He is going to be a pleasant surprise relative to his draft position in many leagues.
• Honorable mention -- SP Phil Hughes (26): Hughes hasn't quite been the ace the Yankees had hoped, but he may enjoy a breakthrough as he reaches 200 innings for the first time this season. He's a good bet for a career year as he turns 27 this season.
Tampa Bay Rays:
• Sleeper -- OF Wil Myers (22): The news that Myers will open the year in Triple-A is good for fantasy owners. That makes him more of a late-round sleeper than a mid-round risk. We learned last year that starting in the minors can still lead to a Rookie of the Year campaign: see Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. Myers won't take long to prove worthy of a call-up after he hit a combined .314/37/109/98/6/.387/.600 in 522 at-bats between Double- and Triple-A. He stands to be a huge midseason shot in the arm and is a must-draft in all leagues with reserves.
• Honorable mention -- SP Matt Moore (23) or SP Jeremy Hellickson (25): These are two of the best young arms in baseball, but the hype has exceeded the production thus far. Each could be a breakout and each could slip on draft day because the numbers haven't matched the talent yet. Both of these pitchers could fall out of the top 30 but go on to perform like a top-15 ace.
Toronto Blue Jays:
• Sleeper -- C J.P. Arencibia (27): If fantasy revolved around only one category, Arencibia would be a star for his power potential. At age 27 this season, he has the potential to lead the position in homers, and if gets his average up to .260, fantasy owners will have a catching star.
• Honorable mention -- SP Ricky Romero (28): He's a sleeper coming off a disappointing year. The Blue Jays added three starters ahead of him in the rotation this winter, which can take the pressure off a pitcher who was a burgeoning ace. He's still in his prime and healthy, presumably, so a rebound year is entirely possible.
Chicago White Sox:
• Sleeper -- 2B Gordon Beckham (26): Instead of becoming the next Dustin Pedroia, Beckham became the next Kelly Johnson -- a second baseman with some pop who is brought down by an awful batting average. Beckham is just now entering his prime years of production, so he's a good bet to post career bests across the fantasy board. If you look somewhere between his career bests of .271/17/61/63/8 and those early career projections of .300/25/80/90/15, fantasy owners can find quite a late-round steal.
• Honorable mention -- OF Dayan Viciedo (24): He strikes out a lot and doesn't bother with walks, but his power potential makes him a possible breakthrough outfielder. Last year's stats only scratched the surface on this well-regarded slugging Cuban defector.
Cleveland Indians:
• Sleeper -- 1B Mark Reynolds (29): Reynolds is arguably one of the most powerful hitters in baseball -- a potential 40-homer, 110-RBI slugger at first base or DH. Fantasy players have to assume a ton of strikeouts and an awful batting average, but the move to Cleveland can reignite him as a sought-after run producer in fantasy.
• Honorable mention -- 1B/OF Nick Swisher (32): No longer in the spotlight of New York, Swisher figures to fall a bit under the fantasy radar. He'll still be a solid source for power, and now he won't go off the board until the later rounds, unless you play in a Cleveland-based fantasy league.
Detroit Tigers:
• Sleeper -- C Alex Avila (26): Avila's regression last season coupled with the return of Victor Martinez will scare off owners; therefore Avila should be available in the late rounds at the notoriously thin catcher position. His prime years of production are only coming now, so a return to his 2011 form is entirely possible.
• Honorable mention -- RP Bruce Rondon (25): The 6-foot-3, 265-pound fire-baller can hit triple digits and be an instant success for one of the top contenders in baseball. He just needs to prove he's healthy and able to throw strikes early in his first big-league season. If he wins the closer's job for the Tigers this spring, look out.
Kansas City Royals:
• Sleeper -- 3B Mike Moustakas (24): Moustakas wore down after the All-Star break last season, going just .211/5/26/28/2/.261/.325. He was borderline elite in the first half (.268/15/47/41/3/.327/.490), though, and there is considerable room to grow here. He can be a .280/30/95/80 slugging third-sacker as soon as this season.
• Honorable mention -- OF Lorenzo Cain (26): Cain would be considered one of the better young outfielders in fantasy by now, if not for injury woes. He is a legit injury-risk sleeper. The Royals are going to let him play every day and prove to be the 20/20 caliber talent he was projected to be.
Minnesota Twins:
• Sleeper -- 1B Justin Morneau (31): Morneau is the rare injury-risk sleeper who's been disappointing for multiple seasons. He hasn't been the same since suffering from post-concussion syndrome in 2010, but started hitting more like his old self in the second half last year (.289). He is feeling better than he has in years and rebounding with a .290/25/90 season is possible.
• Honorable mention -- 3B Trevor Plouffe (26): Last season's power surge was surprising, until you consider that he is just now entering his physical peak. Plouffe turns 27 this season and still has plenty of things to work on, but if he posts a higher batting average, he is going to be a good bargain as a fallback third baseman in drafts.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:
• Sleeper -- C Chris Iannetta (29): A fractured wrist ruined Iannetta's 2012 -- the latest among the myriad reasons he hasn't lived up to his once-intriguing potential. There's pop in his bat, though, and a full healthy season can make him a great value in the late rounds at the thin catcher position.
• Honorable mention -- SP Tommy Hanson (26): Shoulder woes and a few mediocre seasons have dulled Hanson's luster as a future fantasy ace, but this is a blessing in disguise if you follow the L.I.M.A. (low-investment mound aces) in fantasy. He offers outstanding fantasy potential relative to his draft position, especially because he will be backed by a great offense in Anaheim. So few people are expecting him to become that front-line starter he was billed to be years ago; if it happens, he'll be a steal.
Houston Astros:
• Sleeper -- SP Jordan Lyles (22): No one will look at Lyles' numbers through 40 career starts (7-20, 5.21 ERA, 1.42 WHIP) and think future fantasy ace, but he's just 22 years old and squarely in the category of a third-year starting pitcher. He could break through and capitalize on the talent that once made him a highly regarded prospect; he might even prove to be the ace of the Astros' makeshift pitching staff this year. Lyles won't be draftable in most standard mixed leagues, but this is a crucial year for a breakthrough for him.
• Honorable mention -- C Jason Castro (25): It has taken him years to get through knee issues and to look like a viable big-leaguer, much less a fantasy prospect, but something started clicking for him after June 1 last year. He now is a viable regular, and fantasy owners can do a lot worse than this young talent who is only now entering his prime.
Oakland Athletics:
• Sleeper -- RP Ryan Cook (25): Grant Balfour needed knee surgery in spring training, which might affect his availability for the start of the season. That's great news for Cook, a burgeoning star among fantasy relievers. With the closer's job, Cook could rise to being one of the 10 best relief pitchers in fantasy. He will come at a bargain in drafts because Balfour was the likely choice to close before needing the knee procedure. Even if Balfour does start the season as closer, Cook will likely outperform him eventually and take the closer's job full time.
• Honorable mention -- OF Chris Young (29): This 29-year-old has always been disappointing, but a change of scenery to Oakland can only do him good. He might not project to hit for a great average, but he is still a potential star in the counting categories, namely steals and homers. A true renaissance can see him finish among the top 25 outfielders in fantasy.
Seattle Mariners:
• Sleeper -- 2B Dustin Ackley (25): Ackley is roughly an overlooked sophomore. We saw him in his first full season, but we didn't quite like what we saw. It takes some of the luster off him as a prospect, but he will be just 25 this season and poised to break through as he enters his prime. He is a late-round steal as a potential 20/20 player, particularly with the fences moving in at Safeco Field in Seattle.
• Honorable mention -- SP Hisashi Iwakuma (31): He started his rookie year in the bullpen, but he proved to be a potential fantasy gem as a starter from midseason on. He is now the Mariners' No. 2 to King Felix Hernandez, and Seattle's Safeco Field is a nice place to pitch half of all games. Strikeouts are Iwakuma's best asset and those are rarely on the board as late as he will be this spring.
Texas Rangers:
• Sleeper -- SP Matt Harrison (27): It's rare to see a young arm coming off an 18-win season get overlooked on draft day, especially if fantasy owners consider just how steady Harrison's ERA and WHIP have been the past two years. Chasing wins in fantasy has never been a trustworthy strategy, so Harrison is falling in drafts. Ignore his modest average draft position -- this is a top-25 ace who shouldn't be one the board past the top 40.
• Honorable mention -- SS Jurickson Profar (20): Profar will start the year back in the minors, but he is arguably the best long-term prospect in baseball as a future 30/30 candidate. If and when he gets the call -- it could happen early -- he can be one of those rare instant successes. The Rangers need to find a place for him before he's drafted as anything more than an early season stash.

- nipple piercing fun Review by just another guy
I got a pair of these in 8g with the 8/10mm beads for my nipple piercings. The weight is great, not too heavy for everyday wear, but enough to make sex a bit more interesting (especially when my boyfriend was doing me from behind :). With a loose tshirt on there's a little bit of bounce to them, so it's like all day nipple play (driving down bumpy roads feels pretty damn good too).

- Love the feel and weight Review by piercedd1ck
I was taking a chance on this jewelry. It was interesting, but just unknown. Boy was I wrong. Great weight and works with the rest of my piercings. I would give it more stars if I could. I got the 6g with the 8 and 10mm balls.

- Male review. LOVE it Review by Mike
Bought this to have a little something larger and in that right position would hit my wifes 2 horizontal hood piercing during play :) She has a captive bead. I started out last year with a 12 guage hafada captive bead ring. I love the added weight as well. I ordered the 8 & 10 mm Balls, 10 gauge - (2.4 mm), 1 inch. Thank you ChainGang. Will be back again.

- Very Nice Review by Oliver
I got this piece for my prince albert piercing. I love it. The ladies love it too. It has nice weight to it. I got a 8mm and a 10mm ball. I highly recommend it. I received it in a timely manner as well. Get it if you are interested. You won't regret it.

- Best Ever Review by Anthony
This product is the best jewelry I've ever purchased for any piercing I have. I'm upset I didnt know about this site before. I purchased this for my frenum piercing (I'm cut) and the amount of weight this bad boy gives. I was pierced at a 10g in 2011 and about 3 months ago I stretched to an 8g. I have the largest/heaviest bead sizes available. It feels good to freeball with it and self pleasure has been wonderful. Haven't tried sex yet but I'm sure it'll be fine. I wear mines 24/7. Not expensive at all. Shipping took about 3 weeks. I ordered free, no tracking shipping but next time will deff pay for faster product delivery. Can't wait to experiment with other fun products on here. Oh, the only minor issue is that the beads were stiff. I thought they would be more loose, but it's fine no big issue. I have pics available if you like to see, my kik messaging is antrozay. Not giving my cell or email address.

- Great Product, just what I was after Review by connie
Got these after my husband said he wanted something larger and heavier in my nipples! We both love them. Got the 8 guage 3/4inch with 8/10 mm balls and I love the weight and feeling from them. Excellent product and feels wonderful with just the right amount of weight and tug to stretch to the 6g in time.
(Posted on 6/18/13)
- Overall decent Review by Mark
I ordered this for a PA up size and to aid with stretching due to extra weight. However, one of the rings came with a major imperfection on the top of the ring making it unusable. At least the order came with two.

2000 I H 35 S Ste F1, Round Rock, TX | Directions 7868130.490701 -97.679243
Go see Mandy @ synergy salon at the courtyard! – Mandy at Synergy salon is amazing! I am so happy she and Amanda finally have their very own salon! I have been a client for a few years now and would never go anywhere else but to Mandy! take my word! you wont regret it!
Shelley Abbott is the Best – Shelley is an absolutely wonderful hairdresser. She has a very flexible schedule, always has time for you, takes time with you and discusses your needs and wants and always asks, never assumes. She is so very personable you think you've known her all your life. She was the first one I found after moving here from California and I have seen no one since. My husband loves her too. He sees her more than I do!
Love My Hair! – I was referred to Cynthia Vasquez by a coworker about a 2 years ago and I won't go any place else now! No matter what I want she gives me her honest opinion and has never been wrong! My color is never brassy (I hate the gold/red that I have) and everybody that I have referred to her loves their hair. I love the fact that I can get my color,highlites,cut and waxing all at the same place by the same person! She has great prices and a great personality. Go see for yourself!
Perfect Hair..thanks to Shelly – Finally!! A hairstylist that listens and takes her time! I have had a lot of trouble finding a stylist that can make my baby fine hair look good. Shelly Abbott does wonderful color ( I have had people stop me in the store to ask me where I get my hair done), and does a fantastic precision cut. She really painstakingly cuts my entire head of hair perfectly. Now, even if it droops a little on a very humid day, it looks great.
I love the private room. After a day of teaching school, I enjoy the peace and the quiet conversation with an adult. Give Shelly a try, you won't be disappointed!!
Classy, but comfortable – I love this concept. There are so many sytlists to choose from. I can go to one place to get my hair cut, colored, a facial, nails... even massage and laser hair removal - everything! The individual salons are beautiful, the facility is clean and the management is first rate. It's nice having a private suite to get your hair done, but it's open enough so you still feel like you are in a salon. I've met several of the stylists there: Julie, Carla, Tiffany, Ashley and Lisa, just to name a few. All the stylists I've met are all so friendly and willing to help whomever walks in the door, but each other as well. Much better than some of the so called "upscale" salons where all the stylists bicker with each other while the customer is left waiting! Highy recommended!
LOOKING FOR GOOD NAILS? AMANDA'S YOUR GIRL – The first time I went to courtyard salon was for a haircut with a new stylist. I was reffered by a friend. The place is awesome. The decor is amazing. They didn't hold back when decorating this beautiful place. It has warm inviting colors and a fountain in the courtyard waiting area. That seems so relaxing. Each salon associate has their own private suite. It was one of the things I loved about this place. Everyone is so polite and courtious. I had my hair done with Jennie. That was a wonderful experience. I went back again to have my hair done and noticed that her nails were fabulous. I asked her where she had them done and she of course said that a girl at the salon did them. She also mentioned that she was "the best". I thought I'd give her a try. Jennie walked me to Amanda's suite. She was very busy. But she seemed more than happy to help with another client. She booked my appointment and off I went. When my appointment day came, I entered the salon and Amanda offered coffee, soda, or water. WOW! Great treatment. When we got to her room she closed the door and handed me a nail brush. I was a bit puzzled by this. She said that we must start with a sanitary service. We both washed our hands BEFORE the service. Amanda did a 10 minute consultation on what I wanted my nails to look like. AGAIN WOW. Most nail techs pull out the tips and start work. Now that was a first!!!! My nails were as natural looking as I had asked them and she even said she guaranteed my nails for 2 weeks. If I had any cracks, breaks, or lifting she would repair them for no extra charge. I went 3 weeks without one single problem. This was the best nail job I have ever had. I would reccomend her to anyone and everyone. She is the best.
Best facials in Round Rock !!!!!!!! – I recently went to Courtyard Salons. I got a facial with Shelly, and she is absolutely the best .
She certainly loves what she does. I would recommend her to everyone. She also does waxing, and makeup.
I FOUND A WONDERFUL SALON – I recently moved to the Round Rock area from California. I am so pleased to have found Courtyard Salons. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! Now, I can get my hair, nails and facials, all at one location. And my husband can get his hair cuts and massages, there also...
The best in Round rock – Clean, and decorated beautiful. They offer everything in one location. Hair, nail, massage,skin care, makeup.

Controversialist, born at Manchester; died in London, September, 1557; educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity, 18 July, 1552. Though he had preached against Lutheranism in Henry VIII's reign, he conformed under Edward VI and was appointed by Lord Derby as an itinerant Protestant preacher. In 1552 he received the living of Blymhill, Staffordshire. He is described as "an able man, handsome and athletic, possessed of a fine clear voice, of ready speech and powerful utterance" (Halley, "Lancashire"), On the accession of Mary he returned to the Catholic Church, and during 1554 received much preferment. He was made canon of St. Paul's and of Lichfield, Vicar of Todenham, Gloucester, and St. Martin Outwich in London; in 1556 he exchanged the latter living for St. Stephen Walbrook. He was appointed chaplain to Bishop Bonner, for whom he wrote two homilies: "Of the Church what it is", and "Of the Authority of the Church". He also wrote "Declaration in his sickness of his faith or belief in all points as the Catholic Church teacheth against sclaunderous reports against him" (London, 1557). Foxe, who purports to record some of his discussions with persons charged with heresy, states that on his death-bed he repented of his conversion; but the authority of this writer can never be accepted without confirming evidence which in this instance, as in so many others, is lacking.

Turn about is fair play?
I recently came upon this old Coca-Cola commercial. Take a look.
How did it make you feel?
I felt a confusing mix of emotions. Along with a slight smile of amusement, I also felt an instinctive indignation as I digested it on a personal level. "This is a perfect example of the media pushing beauty standards that cause women to have low self esteem and form eating disorders," I said to myself. Then I felt annoyance because the commercial only represented the reality of how many young men act. Other thoughts were to roll my eyes at the hypocrisy, (for the young men accessing the women's figures are drinking Coca-Cola, which isn't exactly healthy), and then I ended up wondering how I can prevent my own sons from objectifying women as they grow closer and closer to adolescence.
After a few minutes, I suddenly remembered another old commercial, also put out by the Coca-Cola company.
Now the tables have turned. In this video we have a group of women objectifying a man yet it didn't strike the same nerve in me. Is this natural or hypocritical? Is turn about fair play? Should we just smile and not take either video so seriously?
¿Qué opinas tú? What do you think?

One time that I belonged to a "Latino Coalition", they had a guest speaker a white guy that owns a car dearlship and that according to the coalition presidente, this guy "knew" how to target the latino market by presenting girls in bikini in his latino commercial, but he did not do that in his english commercials, because according to him, he had realized that hispanic men like that, I was very offended by that as a woman and started thinking if the owner had been a woman, would she show men in small swim suites?
Can I make that 11.30 am appointment LOL…Oops sorry just trying to be funny. Since I get to see both the commericals, I would take it with a pinch of salt :) But on the other hand, besides Coke there are alot of other commercials that tend to associate women in certain kind of categories.
6 of one, half-dozen of the other. I really don't have to much of a problem with the sex-sells thing… as long as they throw some in for us girls once in a while (11:30 is now my favourite time of day).
There are those Gillette razor blade commercials (aimed at men, I assume) that must make most men feel inadequate too. Those are some, hot, muscled, SMOOTH young men (must be photo manipulated, they don't even have pores!) getting out of the shower to shave in their high-end uber-cool bathrooms. So they have the physical stigma as well as the the financial pressures to worry about to get the hot ladies!

If you're concerned that you may be suffering from celiac disease, it's important to seek the guidance and advice from your family doctor. Celiac disease is a dangerous and potentially life threatening condition that should be treated as quickly as possible. In this article we'll discuss a few of the likely methods that may be used to diagnose celiac disease.
Celiac Disease Diagnosis in Adults
The most likely celiac disease diagnosis test that your doctor will perform is a blood test. A celiac disease diagnosis blood test will be able to determine if you're having an adverse reaction to gluten. Most of the available blood tests will measure antibody levels. Keep in mind that for these tests to be accurate you must have been consuming gluten on a daily basis for at least six weeks. So don't begin a gluten free diet before getting tested as it will impact the results of the test.
If the blood test does not give enough information for a conclusive celiac disease diagnosis, your doctor may request an intestinal biopsy. The biopsy will be able to determine whether or not your intestines are being damaged by a reaction to gluten.
Celiac Disease Diagnosis in Children
Testing for children is much the same as it is for adults. The only difference is that most doctors do not request an intestinal biopsy unless there is no other way of obtaining a diagnosis. The doctor may request a stool sample to test for nutritional malabsorption and tests for vitamin B, D and E as well.
Celiac Disease Treatment
The only effective treatment known is to follow a strict gluten free diet. Gluten is found in certain cereal grains – wheat, rye and barley. It is also found in oats (except gluten free oats) because oats are typically processed along with gluten containing grains. In order to eat gluten free it is necessary to remove all foods that contain gluten from the diet. In general this will include breads, pastas, cereals, cookies, cakes and other foods with gluten. However, there are gluten free substitutes of all of these products available. Made with gluten free flours like teff flour, sorghum flour, rice flour and tapioca flour, gluten free baked goods are also delicious.
Symptoms will not disappear immediately after adopting a gluten free diet. It typically takes up to 6 months of eating gluten free for symptoms to diminish. It takes the body time to recover and symptoms will slowly ease over a period of months.
See your doctor right away if you're concerned about celiac disease. He or she will be able to provide you with a celiac disease diagnosis – possibly with just a blood test. Once you know for sure you will be able to begin a treatment plan and be on your way to better health.

Adriano set for new Barca deal
Adriano Correia is close to signing a new contract extension at Barcelona, according to the player's agent.
Utility-man Adriano, 28, joined Barca from Sevilla in the summer of 2010 for €9.5 million. He has since become an important squad member, scoring six goals in 26 games this season, while also appearing as a substitute during Tuesday's 4-0 Champions League win over AC Milan at the Camp Nou.
The Brazil international's representative, Paulo Affonso, told Catalan radio show 'Esports en Xarxa' on Thursday evening that both sides were keen to extend his current deal with the club, which ends in June 2014.
"We are very near to reaching an agreement, but we do not have it yet," Affonso said. "Barcelona are making a very big effort. Barca want him to extend, and Adriano wants that too."
There were a couple of minor points to iron out, Affonso revealed, but he expected a positive resolution within the next few weeks.
"Adriano likes it here and wants to stay," he said. "The renewal is on a good path, in April I will return to Barcelona and I am sure we will continue looking for an agreement as soon as possible. There are a few different points which we must keep discussing, but the tone is very good. The directors in the talks have received me very well."

US Open Champion Tommy Bolt was born March 31, 1916. He turned pro back in 1946, and won a total of 15 events on the PGA Tour, including the 1958 US Open over Gary Player.
Although he is known for his US Open victory in the history books, Bolt tells of another moment that he remembers quite fondly; one of his mentor and idol, Ben Hogan. It happened during the 1960 Memphis Open, and is retold on his Hall of Fame Profile Page:
On this day in 1889, John T Reid played in the first mixed foursome recorded in the US. Saint Andrew's Golf Club in Yonkers, New York was the host.
John Reid and John Upham were two of the originally founders of the club in 1888, and the original clubhouse is still in use today, preserving the history of the course forever.
On this day in 1992, Dottie Pepper won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in a playoff over Juli Inkster. Pepper won the major tournament twice, and captured a total of 17 LPGA tournament victories during her career.
The famous golfer Ted Ray was born on this day in 1877. During his career, Ray won 2 major titles (1912 Open Championship, 1920 US Open), and earned top-10's in the Open Championship a total of 12 times. He was many times overshadowed by the "Great Triumverate" of the day (Vardon, Braid, and Taylor), but was obviously a great player in his own right.
On this day in 1966, Marilynn Smith won the Louise Suggs Delray Beach Golf Invitational. Her 54 hole final of 211 was good enough to capture the $1,275 first prize.

Hastings School Board looks ahead to new year
As we head into the new year and look back at 2012, major accomplishments were seen from the Hastings Public School Board. School Board President Jessica Meeske says first and foremost the updates that were made as part of the Hastings Senior High Improvement project saw a brand new science wing, that students will be able to utilize when they return to school today. Secondly Meeske says the one to one laptop computer initiative has seen great success. Meeske says to be able to give every student the tools to make them better students in and out of the classroom is very rewarding. As we look towards 2013, two challenges remain. Meeske says a committee has been formed to begin the process of looking at the elementary facilities, and before spring they hope to begin the process of holding town hall meetings and begin to come up with a plan for their elementary schools. As the legislature convenes this January the board and staff of the district will also be keeping a close eye on state aid, as Meeske says the Hastings Public School District is heavily reliant upon state aid.

Tecumseh Public Library
Craft an eco-friendly seed starter in Tecumseh
Tecumseh-area children are invited to a special Spring Break craft program at the Tecumseh Public Library. They'll be making a shredded paper seed starter at the program, at 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, at the library, 114 N. Broadway.
The creation uses scrap paper and either flower or vegetable seeds to work as an eco-friendly seed starter. The activity provides a good way for children to learn about gardening and how seeds grow.
The program is for ages 5 to 11, and any children age 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult, per library policy.
Registration is required and class size is limited to 20 participants.
