For those of us "in-the-know" in regards to what's really happening behind the scenes with Trumps recent executive orders, coinciding with the breadcrumbs being dropped by "Q", you might find the following article pretty interesting. Will 2018 be the end of the Cabal's grip on America?…Continue

Hello my fellow Tea Party brothers and sisters... In light of everything that has happened last week I am curious on how folks feel about the fact that..."Where do we go from here?, what can we do?" "Quick re-cap of events so far....
The Russian investigation blew up in the face of all accusers. As Comey stated, Trump was never under investigation for collusion (whatever that means), so now, the investigation goes into a possible "obstruction case", leaded by Comey's BFF, Muller. This…Continue

Most people know that medical providers can be sued for harm caused by mistakes, as well as for injuries caused by abuse or neglect.
Hackers are Targeting Hospital Computers for Ransom
A new trend is emerging where hackers are infiltrating hospital systems and disabling their computer networks for ransom. This has the effect of bringing modern medicine to a halt, as many hospitals are reliant on technology to render care to its patients. Instead of asking for millions in return, it appears the hackers are asking for smaller amounts of money. This allows hospitals to get return to normal function and avoid bad publicity. It also allows hackers to avoid police intervention.
Ohio Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Patient in "Medical Records" Case
On March 23, 2016, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that any patient data kept by a health care provider, regardless of location, is a medical record that must be released to patients and families. Earlier in the year, we wrote about the dangers of letting medical providers determine what is and is not a "medical record." You can also read an in depth analysis of the court's decision from former judge and University of Cincinnati College of Law professor emerita Marianna Bettman here.
The Danger in Letting Hospitals Decide What is a "Medical Record"
Have you ever called a customer service number trying to find out the answer to a question only to be transferred to ten different departments and spending 2 hours on what was supposed to be a 5 minute phone call? Well, this process may become the norm for patients seeking to obtain their medical records depending on the Ohio Supreme Court's decision in Griffith v. Aultman Hospital.

This is the "I Will Definitely Be Going over Budget in February" Edition.
Here's why…I have already been to the store 4 times, and it's only the 8th of February.
- This week's regularly scheduled Kroger trip.
- The Health Food Store trip.
- An stop for potatoes and other food in the middle of last week.
While our pantry is well stockpiled, our freezers and fridge are not. Last week I was forced to do some "food triage," as a result of the power being out for 3 days. Some came with us. Some went into the cooler that sat outside. Some went into grandma's freezer and fridge. And some stayed behind.
I was secretly hoping that the food that stayed behind in the deep freeze would stay frozen, as it is in our utility room that I knew would get colder in that part of the house with the heat/power out. It did not survive. 🙁
I'm hoping to spend the next couple weeks restocking it as the sales cycles allow! I'm going to do my best to stay under $240 for the month…but I'll probably have to bump it up to $300 for this month!
You'll see the totals below!!!
(But the good news is that we now have all the meats/chicken that we need for the rest of the month. So the next 2 shopping trips will be for the basics and for produce!)
- 6 pkg. $.88 Kroger frozen veggies
- 2 bags of Sargento cheese (2 cups) – $1.27 each after Q
- Bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, avocados, red and green bell pepper, lettuce, lettuce and more lettuce
- $2.50 blueberries – some for real fruit smoothies, some for the freezer (how to freeze blueberries).
- 3 pkgs chicken breasts – $1.99/lb
- 1 pkg boneless chicken thighs – $1.99/lb
- 2 pkg ground chicken – $2.29 each, sale
- 1 pkg Italian sausage – $2.79
- 1.5 lb. pkg ground round – $3.57
- 1 large pkg cube steak – $6.48 (Will use for 3 meals.)
Coupons Used
- $1.50/1 Dole lettuce catalina coupon
- $1/2 Sargento cheese coupon
- $1/2 Rice Chex cereal
- $2/$10 produce purchase – store mailer coupons
- $5/$50 entire grocery purchase – store mailer coupons
Manager's Specials
- 2 pkgs $.99 apple slices – Went straight in the freezer to use for real fruit smoothies.
- $.99 Spring Mix lettuce – Was my lunch yesterday and today!
Total spent at Kroger: $95.79
Total for the month: $88.37 + $2.01 + $17.89 + $26.77 + $95.79 = $230.83 (Eeps…see what I mean!)

We hit Vegas in February and they found Cudjo's decomposed body eleven months later in the desert. Sometimes, sitting in the Mini Cooper, I cry. Sometimes I gasp for air.
When we arrived, it took us a week to find the bridges. They connect one casino to another on the second floor so the tourists don't even have to walk down to the first floor to cross the street. Something about maximizing profits, I don't know. The bridges are this no man's land on the Strip because it's just sheeple walking across in a flowing stream that never stops, all day, never stops, and no security guards ever.
So I buckled down and got to work tossing the molly, right there on the ground, Cudjo keeping lookout, and a shrill whistle meant the rent-a-cops were coming. I had known Cudjo since we were in first grade together and he forged my mother's signature on a note saying I had been bad. In junior high, we had devised a system for cheating off each other's tests. Cudjo had always been something of a magician, and by 18, was dreaming about a career as a big-time Vegas showman. I told him I'd buy the rhinestones. Problem was, now all the magic acts are four-walled, meaning the casinos don't put up the money anymore, they just rent out the space. You have to hire the crew, bring in the illusions, advertise, market, place the butts in the seats, and that takes some serious green. But that dream still burned like a flashpot in Cudjo's heart.
After high school, he was the one who taught me the molly, which he'd learned from an older guy on the pier. The ring finger is the key, that and acting like you're stupid to get people to bet. Wear horn rims, he said. Act blind. It was Cudjo who knew we could take the molly on the road, make a career of it.
Our first hour on the bridge, we pulled down $1800. Second day, two different bridges, we sunk down to $375, but then $5400 the next day. We were on our way. There are risks, of course, like when you pry hard-earned cash from their cold, dead fingers. One guy threatened us with a Planter's pop top lid, another with his bodybuilder brother-in-law. But we could handle the heat. Our policy was, Run fast.
A month had passed and we were living large, renting a 3-bedroom place and fighting over who gets to store their new purchases in the extra room, although I always let him win because magic props take up space and I was pulling for his four-wall.
"Hey," Cudjo said one morning, his hair like a bird's nest if the bird had been a total slacker, "did you know my old man lives here?"
"Your old man?" I said. "I didn't know you even had an old man."
"Yeah. And I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have told him I hated him when I was six. Like maybe I should apologize? Because it was my mother who told me to say it after the divorce. I'll never forget his face. Like, crash."
Cudjo hadn't seen the guy in 14 years, but one day, he blows into the apartment with so much excitement you could've bottled it and sold it as an energy drink that some 11-year-old boy drinks seven of and dies of a heart attack, that's how jumped up he was.
"He wants me to move in with him," he said. "Dude, we can start all over again."
So I'm left alone in this big cavern of an apartment, his magic tricks still taking up space in the third bedroom, the Head Twister and the Zig Zag Girl, but at least Cudjo was happy. Turned out they both liked the angry music of Imogen Heap, both couldn't stand nature, and both liked cranking it up to over 100 on freeways when the cops weren't looking, although trust me, dude, they're never not looking.
"It's like discovering your twin," Cudjo said. "He was like me before I was even me."
One night four months in, Cudjo and I are in the Mini Cooper and he pulls out a paper bag from his pocket.
"You'll never guess what I found in my father's shoe."
It's this motherhonkin' bag of brown. Cudjo said that tar was going for $170 a gram now and that this was a pound or more, and that this was the thing that could get him started four-walling. His eyes were singing and dancing like Footloose Redux.
"He'll never miss it, dude," Cudjo said. "His whole closet is filled with shoes like this."
[This story is fiction.]

Hi! We just landed in Singapore. And the moment I stepped out from the airport, I immediately knew that I belong here. The country is very beautiful. And the people are sooooo fashionable! We arrived around 6 PM and got to our place in Serangoon around 8PM. Our cousin's girlfriend picked us up and taught us how to ride the bus and the MRT. She also took us to Raffles City, Marina Square and Esplanade. We didn't have enough time to shop around because when we got to the malls, it was near closing time already. So tomorrow, my brother and I are going back to shopppp. :)
I wore this outfit during the flight. But my feet died after several hours of walking in these boots. Haha

Profiles in Medical Courage: Michael Wilkins and the Willowbrook School
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. "- Margaret Mead
With this article we begin an intermittent series on physicians who displayed courage in trying to help their patients. Although there are many examples, hopefully what will be illustrated are examples of the lesser known doctors who identified problems and stood up to address them. Few remember the controversy surrounding the now closed Willowbrook School and Dr. Michael Wilkins' involvement. However, Wilkins' courage in advocating for change not only resulted in substantial improvement in conditions at the school but also led to the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA) of 1980.
Wilkins was originally from Kansas City and graduated from the University of Missouri School of Medicine in 1967 (1). He left Missouri to do his pediatric internship and complete his military obligation in the United States Public Health Service on Staten Island. There he became familiar with the Willowbrook State School, which at the time was the largest institution for the mentally retarded in the world. After completing his time in the Public Health Service, Wilkins was persuaded by his friend, Dr. Bill Bronston, to join him at Willowbrook as a full time physician.
The Willowbrook School already had a bad reputation when Wilkins arrived (2). Built in the late 1930's, the campus was large with 38 buildings on 375 acres in the Willowbrook section of Staten Island. Designed to hold 4000 patients, it held 6000 when Wilkins arrived. As a result of the overcrowding and unsanitary conditions, virtually all children developed hepatitis, primarily hepatitis A. This led to a highly controversial medical study carried out from the mid-1950s through the 1970s by researchers Saul Krugman and Robert W. McCollum. Healthy children were intentionally inoculated, orally and by injection, with hepatitis virus, then monitored to gauge the effects of gamma globulin in combating the infection (2,3). Senator Robert Kennedy of New York, the younger brother of the slain President John Kennedy, had toured the institution in 1965 and proclaimed that individuals in the overcrowded facility were "living in filth and dirt, their clothing in rags, in rooms less comfortable and cheerful than the cages in which we put animals in a zoo" and offered a series of recommendations for improving conditions (4). However, the result was a public relations effort with the creation of a few "model" buildings (5). Visitors were escorted through these "model" buildings and the controversy subsided.
Wilkins was not assigned to one of the model buildings but to building 6. There he cared for about 70 severely mentally retarded clients along with 2 or 3 attendants. In a 2008 interview Wilkins said, "The first thing that assaults you when you walk in the building is the smell and that sets the tone for the whole experience. The smell is the smell of decay and a mixture of sweat and feces and lack of being cleansed …it permeated the building" (1). The clients spent their days in the day room. Few went to school. For the incontinent the attendants would get 6-8 clients together in the shower room and hose them to keep them clean and clean up after them between showers. The severely retarded would be on the floor in straightjackets so as not to scratch themselves or assault other patients. Some would rock on the floor, while others sat motionless. Each building had a supervisor, sometimes with a nursing degree, but in Wilkins' building the supervisor had no nursing background. He was the person that would answer to the administration and carry out their orders.
Wilkins and Bronston began advocating for change especially in the wake of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's budget cuts which decreased the number of employees from 3000 to 2000. Parents and friends were not allowed in the buildings so they held Sunday weenie roasts for the clients and their parents. There they would advocate for improvement in the conditions. This eventually led to a conference for the parents. The keynote speaker, an expert on mental retardation, described conditions at Willowbrook as "primitive" and "outdated" (1). After trying to organize the parents to advocate change, Wilkins was fired by the School's administrator, Dr. Jack Hammond.
Now unemployed, and not having completed his residency, Wilkins fought back. He contacted his friend, a local WABC-TV New York newsman, Geraldo Rivera. Fortunately, when Wilkins was fired, Willowbrook had not asked for his key and he used it to let Rivera come to Willowbrook and document the conditions. The State of New York attempted to prevent the release of the resultant film citing patients' privacy, but Rivera, an attorney by education, persuaded his producer to make the film public. The exposé, entitled "Willowbrook: The Last Disgrace", garnered national attention and won a Peabody Award for Rivera. Rivera and Wilkins later appeared on the nationally televised Dick Cavett Show with the film.
As a result of the conditions, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the State of New York and a settlement in the case was reached mandating reforms. The publicity generated by the case was a major contributing factor to the passage of the Federal Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act of 1980. This law enabled the US Department of Justice to protect the rights of those individuals who were in the care of state institutions, including jails and prisons, juvenile correctional facilities, public nursing homes, mental health facilities and institutions for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The law allows for the US Attorney General to intervene on behalf of institutionalized people whose rights may have been oppressed and ensure the safety of those individuals who may feel uncomfortable reporting issues of abuse in these government run institutions.
After leaving Willowbrook, Wilkins returned to Kansas City and completed his residency. For many years he ran a clinic in the inner city serving Kansas City's poor. We should remember Dr. Michael Wilkins and how his act of courage led to improvement at Willowbrook and a law protecting all institutionalized individuals.

Lately, I've been making the most of being young and single. For better or for worse, I'm stuck in this city for a while*. I'm choosing to look at it as 'for better'.
Here's how I see it, when I'm not feeling sorry for myself (I only rarely feel sorry for myself, I'm pretty happy). I have enough money to live, and even a bit leftover, if I live smartly. I have a few really good friends; the kind I can count on to commiserate with me, laugh with me, look after my son at the drop of a hat, turn a blind eye to mess or help with the housework, talk frankly, invite me round for dinner, just BE with. My friends are amazing. I have every Saturday night off, when my son stays with his father. This is probably the best thing about being a single mother (aside from, in my case, not being in a miserable marriage). Having that one night off – a whole 24 hours – helps me recharge my human batteries. I can relax for a little bit. I can have a nap (I don't, but it helps to know I could). I can GO OUT DANCING all night with my friends. I can kiss a man if I want to. I can sit in a cafe and have a leisurely chai latte while I read a book. For 24 hours, I can do whatever I like, with no responsibility. (Aside from the normal responsibility of being a member of society, of course. Let's be reasonable here.)
I am a devoted mother, and my son comes first in everything. But now that I am getting used to being single, I am rediscovering my own pleasures that I had forgotten. I am becoming more myself again. Sometimes, in a relationship, you get swallowed up in trying to please the other person. For me, there were things I stopped doing, over time, because it was too much effort, or my husband wasn't interested. I gave up talking about things I cared about, because he seemed to see everything I said as a challenge in some way. Finding myself again is wonderful. I want to say that I will never again let myself be swallowed up in a needy version of love. Of course, I haven't fallen in love again – yet – so I don't know. But I hope I will be a bit more sensible about it next time around…
So I'm having fun. I'm learning to love myself. I'm feeling inspired to live a kick-ass life.
"This life is mine. I will live it with all I've got. I won't take crap from anyone, won't play small, or safe. I will admit that I'm a badass. I can break through after a break down. I can get up after I fall down on my face." Andrea Owen
I met my husband when I was 19, and we were together for 5 years. That means I have spent approximately a 5th of my life with him. Wow. Now, I am 'cutting loose' and all that. I am flirting. It is fun! I spent some money on clothes the other day. I have hardly ever done this in my life. I shaved my legs. I smiled at myself in the mirror. I've read Succulent Wild Women (10 times), I know the deal. I am finally starting to live it, instead of read it.
"People with the creative spirit are obssessed with possibility." Danielle La Porte
But sometimes this little voice crops up and says "This is frivolous. You're an adult now. You should be saving your pennies and building an eco house." Or some other sensible chatter.
For now, can I just ignore it? I can keep doing all the good eco things that are a natural part of my life now (recycling, free range, reducing rubbish, natural parenting, etc). I'm only 24. I'm allowed a bit of fun, right?
*I am working towards moving to a self sufficient lifestyle in Motueka with my son, but as it currently stands his father would fight me for him if I moved away. So I'm biding my time.

It's an established fact that I like gymnastics, and I love reality TV. So you can bet when there is overlap I'll be watching. Enter Douglas Family Gold. Oxygen aired the six episode (30 minutes each) series beginning in May 2016, though the action all takes place in 2015 as Gabrielle Douglas (aka Gabby/Brie), reigning Olympic All-Around Gold Medalist, begins her comeback to make the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
There isn't a lot of gymnastics in the show, but there is a lot of [manufactured] drama. Save for one instance, the real drama remained behind the scenes.
When the show starts there is nary a mention/discussion of why Gabby is in Ohio and her family is in Los Angeles. Anyone who casually followed the London Games knows that Gabby, a Virginia native, moved to Iowa to train-- a move away from her natal family into the home of another family, but which ultimately helped her secure Olympic gold. So why Ohio and not Iowa? Why a coach in Ohio then and not California? The silence is deafening. (In fact in 2013 and 2014 she did return to Iowa, but lawyers/agents/family got involved, which is what led her to Ohio...)
Another drama that didn't make the show was injury (though some might question if it is even a "real" drama). According to Douglas' momager, Natalie Hawkins, in a statement this month after the Olympic team was named, Gabby actually competed with a knee injury in the World Championships shown in the penultimate episode of Douglas Family Gold. It is an odd omission and in an article right after the revelation was made, Gabby's reaction is telling: "'Mom, really?' Douglas burst out when asked about a previously undisclosed right knee injury the gymnast suffered just before the 2015 World Championships....Hawkins, wearing her daughter's diamond-studded Team USA necklace, added that Karolyi also knew the issues surrounding the coaching changes since a comeback 21/2 years ago."
These lines reveal the real underlying drama in the Douglas family: that the family of six (four children and Hawkins, plus Hawkins' mother) appear to be fully supported by Gabrielle's gymnastics career and the promotional opportunities surrounding it. Again, telling lines from a recent article, this one from The New York Times: "But the turmoil in the gym was soon matched by new distractions outside it. Finally training in one spot at Buckeye, Douglas chipped at her focus anew last year when she was featured on a reality program called 'Douglas Family Gold,' taping the six episodes at a time when most of her United States Olympic rivals were focused solely on training. Douglas's mother and business manager, Natalie Hawkins, who is in charge of what can loosely be described as Gabby Inc., said that the show fit seamlessly into Douglas's days, and that it actually helped Douglas relax. Hawkins said last week that she was hoping the show would be awarded a second season."
On the one hand it's not surprising that "Gabby Inc" exists, or that her sisters in particular are on what I would call the "Brie Train." This is common enough in the sports and entertainment industries (think Entourage). This is also quite common with child performers of all stripes (think Britney Spears and Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo). And at least her sisters appear to be working, helping design leotards in the hopes of parlaying that into other design opportunities, even if that work is based on their sister's individual success.
What is different in Douglas Family Gold is the age of the athlete; though she is now of age, when all this began Douglas was a minor. It is also important to note that this sort of scenario impacts young females much more than young males, partly because of differences in onset of puberty. Of course, this is an old story in gymnastics (read Little Girls in Pretty Boxes for more on commercialism and cashing in on young athletes), but worth noting. This reality show reveals that this scenario crosses racial boundaries as well.
Another difference is that with young performers there are multiple opportunities to "make it"/excel. For Olympic cycle athletes there is basically one big shot to make it. A lot of pressure on small shoulders, however muscled they may be. Minor performers' earnings are partially protected by Coogan laws (check out some of my previous writings on this here), but no such protection is in effect for young athletes.
To get a better handle on the family dynamics I turned to two different books Douglas "wrote" in 2013, both published by a Christian house. The first, more complete version is Grace, Gold & Glory, and the second, Raising the Bar, contains most the same material, but it is abridged with a lot of photos, primarily for kids. Both books notably focus on the positive relationship with the Parton family in Iowa, and Douglas' then gymnastics coaches. Again, a notable disconnect from the reality series.
But I was shocked by how Douglas portrayed her childhood and family. The former book, Grace, God & Glory describes what was likely parental neglect when Douglas was an infant, living in the back of a van at 2.5 months with an untreated medical condition (Branched Chain Ketoaciduria, or maple syrup urine disease). A particularly revelatory line Douglas "writes" on page 11 of the same book hints at the reason her sisters might expect to be on the Brie train: "I thought of my two sisters: Arielle, who gave up ballroom dancing, and Joyelle, who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics."
I am sure it is uncomfortable to feel indebted. And the moment of cringeworthy drama in Douglas Family Gold is when eldest sister Arie tells Brie that her own life isn't where it should be because she has spent so much time supporting her sister. This is again mentioned in the Elle article linked to above. And most news stories from the last cycle identified this sister as the one who got her sister started with gymnastics. So, yeah, some interesting dynamics there.
The latter book, Raising the Bar, hints at the Douglas family's interest in a TV show, way back in 2012-3. On page 17 in social media image grabs two family members comment that the family is a comedy show and that they need their own show.
They have that show now, but I'm not sure how funny it actually is. You'll likely just be uncomfortable,and wondering what is actually going on in this family behind the doors of their now 7000+ square foot California compound.

Different types of raspberry bars are plentiful, because raspberries pair well with many ingredients. Chocolate, oatmeal and nuts are often found in raspberry bars. Some recipes call for fresh or frozen berries, but other recipes, such as those of many oatmeal raspberry bars and lemon raspberry bars, get their raspberry flavor from preserves and jams.
Lemon raspberry bars often feature fresh raspberries in a lemon filling sitting on top of a graham cracker crust. The lemon filling is made from egg yolks, fat-free sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Raspberry crumb breakfast bars typically feature a whole wheat and cinnamon crust with a raspberry filling in between. The raspberries can be fresh or frozen.
In addition to fresh or frozen raspberries, some bar recipes utilize raspberry jam and preserves. Chocolate raspberry crumb bars feature seedless raspberry jam, semi-sweet chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk. Black raspberry bars feature black raspberry seedless preserves spread over a crust of butter, brown sugar and oatmeal. Buttery black raspberry bars are made with seedless black raspberry jam atop a crust of flour, butter and sugar.
Nuts such as pecans and almonds are often included in raspberry bar recipes. Raspberry almond bars feature raspberry jam, chopped almonds and almond extract. Another variety, an almond raspberry diamond, is made with vanilla chips, seedless raspberry jam and sliced almonds that have been toasted. Raspberry pecan bars feature butter, chopped pecans and raspberry preserves.
Raspberries and chocolate are a frequently used, flavorful combination. Holiday red raspberry chocolate bars pair seedless red raspberry jam with semi-sweet chocolate chips and finely chopped pecans. Frozen white chocolate raspberry mousse bars have a graham cracker crust and a filling made from raspberry sorbet, white chocolate and whipping cream.
Some variations of raspberry bars include oatmeal. Raspberry oatmeal bars are made with seedless raspberry jam, light brown sugar and rolled oats. Raspberry ribbon bars are made with rolled oats, chopped walnuts and raisins.
Cake mix is used in some raspberry bar recipes. Raspberry cream cheese bars start off with a raspberry cake mix combined with butter. The mix is topped with a combination of cream cheese, eggs and confectioners' sugar before being baked.

"My number one goal is to shield you from the harmful consequences you may be facing."
Beers will have your back when you are charged with Driving Under the Influence.
We have the knowledge and expertise to defend against drinking & driving.
When things take a turn for the worst, we're ready to help! Call now to make an appointment.
A robbery charge is very serious by itself, but when you are accused of
using a deadly weapon, you could be facing many years in prison and heavy
fines, among other penalties. California prosecutors are prone to filing
even more serious charges for such violent crimes. At this time, you need a
Lancaster criminal defense lawyer to assess your charges and build an aggressive defense strategy to preserve
your freedom!
When you work with The Law Offices of Tyson R. Beers, you have the resources
of a seasoned professional with almost 20 years of practicing criminal
law. Tyson provides his clients with the tough representation they need
when accused of a crime because he believes that no one should be punished
for a crime they did not commit. You can trust our firm to defend your
rights at all costs and work towards the best resolution possible!
Since the presence of a deadly weapon is critical to an armed robbery charge,
our attorney can file a motion to suppress evidence of the weapon if law
enforcement did not follow proper protocol in arresting you.
There are three types of armed robbery cases our Lancaster criminal defense
lawyer can assist with:
They key to an armed robbery charge is depriving a person of property from
them or in their immediate presence by means of force or fear.
The presence of a firearm in any robbery case will add to the prison sentence
handed down. A first degree robbery conviction carries 3 to nine years,
for example; if a weapon was used, an additional 10 years can be added
to the sentence. If the firearm is discharged, the added time can be up
to 20 years.
You still have rights when charged with armed robbery which our Lancaster
criminal defense attorney can work to uphold in court or in negotiating
with the prosecution. If it can be proved you did not in fact have a weapon
on you, by definition you cannot be charged with armed robbery.
You may have been licensed to carry a weapon and were under the impression
the property in question was in reality your property or that you did
not intend to permanently deprive the owner of it. Whatever the details
of your case, we can find a means of defending you and fighting for your future!
Call our office today to begin work building a solid case for your defense!

Dave Sifry has just announced that Technorati is tracking over 3,000,000 weblogs and had this to say:
One of the things that drives me personally is that weblogs are turning us all into producers, creators, and participants in our society, not just consumers. As Doc Searls likes to say, "consumer is an industrial-age word, a broadcast-age word. It implies that we are all tied to our chairs, head back, eating 'content' and crapping cash." Of course, the act of producing, creating, and participating means that we're not doing something else - and here's the best news of all: A Forrester Research report asked Internet users which activities they were spending less time doing in order to spend time at their computers. 78% of the people polled said that they gave up television viewing. A study from The Georgia Institute of Technology's Graphic, Visualization and Usability Center showed a clear shift in media habits with more than one third of respondents saying that they "use the Web instead of watching TV on a daily basis."
Now for my Independence Day message: We're connecting with each other, we're talking to each other, finding people of similar interests, and we're having conversations. My dear hope is that this is the beginning of a rebirth of civics in America. Much in the same way that email revived the lost art of letter writing, Blogs are reviving the lost art of civilized civic dialogue - of argument, of well reasoned thought and response. And 3 million people (heck, even if you only assume that it is only 1.65 Million people, given the current abandonment rate) participating in worldwide civic discourse puts hope into my heart.

Been a crazy few weeks, but it's all coming together. I got a hardcover proof from the printer (see pics). After some tweaks and edits, I approved it and am now awaiting both hardcover and paperback books to arrive on my front porch next week!
Then (after sending Kickstarter backers their rewards) . . . TaleSpins will make its public debut at Litfest Pasadena. This is the second annual event in my recently re-adopted hometown, and I was thrilled to not only discover it but secure a chance to take part as an exhibitor.
I'll post more pics soon as booth design gets underway.

Web scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction is data scraping used for extracting data from websites. Web scraping software may access the World Wide Web directly using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or through a web browser. While web scraping can be done manually by a software user, the term typically refers to automated processes implemented using a bot or web crawler. It is a form of copying, in which specific data is gathered and copied from the web, typically into a central local database or spreadsheet, for later retrieval or analysis.
Web scraping a web page involves fetching it and extracting from it. Fetching is the downloading of a page (which a browser does when you view the page). Therefore, web crawling is a main component of web scraping, to fetch pages for later processing. Once fetched, then extraction can take place. The content of a page may be parsed, searched, reformatted, its data copied into a spreadsheet, and so on. Web scrapers typically take something out of a page, to make use of it for another purpose somewhere else. An example would be to find and copy names and phone numbers, or companies and their URLs, to a list (contact scraping).
Web scraping is used for content scraping, and as a component of applications used for web indexing, web mining and data mining, online price change monitoring and price comparison, product review scraping (to watch the competition), gathering real estate listings, weather data monitoring, website change detection, research, tracking online presence and reputation, web mashup and, web data integration.
Using data scraping you can build sitemaps that will navigate the site and extract the data. Using different type selectors you will navigate the site and extract multiple types of data - text, tables, images, links and more.
Web scraping is the process of automatically mining data or collecting information from the World Wide Web. It is a field with active developments sharing a common goal with the semantic web vision, an ambitious initiative that still requires breakthroughs in text processing, semantic understanding, artificial intelligence and human-computer interactions. Current web scraping solutions range from the ad-hoc, requiring human effort, to fully automated systems that are able to convert entire web sites into structured information, with limitations.
In order to remain competitive, businesses must be able to act quickly and assuredly in the markets. Web Scraping plays a big role in the development of various business organizations that use the services.
The benefits of these services are:
It's important to note that not all scraper will be ideal fits for every project. For example, those with highly analytical backgrounds in software engineering would be ideal for developing algorithms but may not be the right fit for a data scraping project. That's why it's so important to understand what type of scraping expert will bring the most benefit to your company and business goals.
What is the overall learning you hope to find?
By including your goal in the project description, it allows professionals to better understand what type of work is required.
What core skills will scraping experts need to complete the project?
The answer will revolve around your current data infrastructure and the processes used to extract information.
Would you benefit from someone with highly specialized skills in a few areas of data scraping, or would a well-rounded expert serve you better?
Are there any time constraints to consider with this project?
Let professionals know the amount of hours of work that might be involved.
What kind of budget will this project have?
The more experience and expertise a data scraper has, the higher they expect to be compensated. Higher budgets will more likely give top-tier experts a reason to submit a proposal.
Below is a sample of how a project description may look. Keep in mind that many people use the term "job description," but a full job description is only needed for employees. When engaging a freelancer as an independent contractor, you typically just need a statement of work, job post, or any other document that describes the work to be done.
<Job/Project Title>
ABC Company is looking for a web scraping expert to help us study our website traffic patterns and find areas of improvement. This project is estimated to require approximately 20-25 hours per week for the next few months to achieve the following goals
The following skills are required:
The ideal freelancer will be a creative problem solver with an excellent work history on Toogit. To submit a proposal, please send a short summary of similar projects you've completed and why we should consider you for this project.
Remember that technical ability is only a small portion of what makes an excellent web scraper. Great web scrapers are inquisitive—they want to ensure that they're seeking the right types of answers, plus they'll take an interest in your business to better understand it. The ideal professional will also be able to advise you on additional metrics to analyze and compare in order to help you meet your goals.
Also, keep in mind that communication is always a key consideration in the data science field. A brief interview can allow you to gauge how strong each professional is in expressing ideas and explaining their process. The more you speak to each professional by phone, email, or chat, the better you'll be able to gauge their professionalism and communication skills and determine whether they're right for your project.
Whenever there is a discussion regarding storing information on a 3rd party's database system, questions on security follow. Entrusting another company to stage your valuable information safe is a massive step. Once that information is in your control, you are aware of the protection measures in place to keep it safe.
Google assures users that it keeps all information safe and personal unless the user chooses to share files with others. As a part of its security measures, Google does not discuss its approach to security very well. Since users should have a Google account to access Google Docs, and since all accounts need passwords, we all know that at least one stage in Google's security plan depends on password protection.
Google Docs is the free data processing software that comes with a Google account. It's designed to be easy to use. It can be used to create documents with rich formatting, images, and tables and features like footnotes, headers and footers, and page numbering. You can create your documents more engaging with pictures, drawing objects, and tables in Google docs.
If you're a professional blogger, all that you write must obviously be a result of your thorough research and will basically involve hard work. Whether it's Blogspot or WordPress, text editors of each of those blogging platforms are up to notch. Each text editors not only automatically save the post you are writing but also provide sufficient resources for content data formatting that helps you present well your content. Google Docs offers you the easiest and simplest way to format your content, provide blog templates, share it with collaborators, and even upload immediately to whichever CMS you use.
Google Keep has officially been labelled as a part of the Google Suite of tools. It's currently very easy to keep notes for a document you're working on. Along with the Explore feature, Google Docs has become a seriously impressive tool for business, education, and just about the other purpose that requires note keeping as you write. Google docs provide a tool to integrate google keep notes into document.
Google Docs are in a web format, we can't simply import them into Word! To open Google Docs in Microsoft Word, we need to need to convert Google Docs to Word's DOCX format, then transfer it afterward. You can easily perform this conversion from Google Docs.
Google Docs has been around for a little while now. Businesses are adopting the tool as the way to extend efficiency and usability of information. I have yet to work for a business that actively uses Google Docs on a day to day, however I will definitely see the benefits of google docs.
Hire Google Docs experts on Toogit.
The importance of extracting information from the web is becoming increasingly loud and clear. Every few weeks, I realize myself in a situation where we need to extract information from the web to create a machine learning model. We have to pull or extract a large amount of information from websites and we would like to do it as quickly as possible. How would we do it without manually going to every web site and getting the data? Web Scraping simply makes this job easier and faster.
Web scraping is used to collect large information from websites. But why does someone have to collect such large data from websites? Let's look at the applications of web scraping:
Web scraping is an automated method used to extract large amounts of data from websites. The data on the websites are unstructured. Web scraping helps collect these unstructured data and store it in a structured form. There are different ways to scrape websites such as online Services, APIs or writing your own code.
Features of Python which makes it more suitable for web scraping:
To extract data using web scraping with python, you need to follow these basic steps:
Example: Scraping a website to get product details
#Let us import all the necessary libraries
from selenium import webdriver
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")
products=[] #List to store name of the product
prices=[] #List to store price of the product
ratings=[] #List to store rating of the product
content = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(content)
for a in soup.findAll('a',href=True, attrs={'class':'.…'}):
name=a.find('div', attrs={'class': '….'})
price=a.find('div', attrs={'class':'….'})
rating=a.find('div', attrs={'class':'….'})
df = pd.DataFrame({'Product Name':products,'Price':prices,'Rating':ratings})
df.to_csv('products.csv', index=False, encoding='utf-8')
To run the code, a file name "products.csv" is created and this file contains the extracted data.

Obstetric fistula happens most frequently in rural areas, where emergency medical care is not easily accessible. A woman's risk of developing fistula is also exacerbated by cultural misunderstanding about doctors and surgery. Madagascar faces both of these challenges: its infrastructure is poor, which can make travel to the hospital complicated and dangerous. Also, there is…
Meet Ndatsaha
Ndatsaha developed fistula when she went in to labor with her third child. She sought the services of a traditional birth attendant, as she had with her previous pregnancies, and as most women did in her community. But this time, things were different. The baby did not come, and Ndatsaha labored in excruciating pain for three days.
Ndatsaha's Story
Ndatsaha is from the village of Manja, about 250km from the nearest large city, Morondava. She developed fistula when she went in to labor with her third child. She sought the services of a traditional birth attendant, as she had with her previous pregnancies, and as most women did in her community. But this time, things were different. The baby did not come, and Ndatsaha labored in excruciating pain for three days.
One month later, she realized that she had begun to leak urine. She sought treatment, first with the local health provider in her village, but he could not help. He gave her medicine, injections, tablets – none of which worked to stop her incontinence. She tried is recommendations for two years before giving up. She thought her condition was incurable, and resigned herself to live with it.
But life was not easy for Ndatsaha. Her family was supportive of her, but most of her friends rejected her because of her condition. Other members of her community would tell her to go away because she was leaking, and because she smelled. It was difficult for her to move around – and besides, she was scared to leave her home – so she stayed in the house most days.
But then she learned from neighbors about SALFA and care they provided to women like her at their hospital in Morondava. She was willing to try anything.
The SALFA hospital in Morondava reimbursed her for the cost of her transport to their facility, Ndatsaha said. They provided her with food and good care. Here, she finally received treatment that cured her obstetric fistula.
As she healed from surgery, Ndatsaha found herself sitting with four other women recovering in the fistula ward. They shared their stories with each other, and decided that they needed to tell other women about their experience and the help they had received. That day, they decided to become fistula ambassadors.
Post-surgery, Ndatsaha feels very good. She feels strong. And she feels "cool" now that she is able to wear shorts again – something she had avoided when she had fistula, opting instead for long skirts to hide the trickle of urine that leaked down her legs. She even participated in a Health Awareness Day that was organized in Morondava by SALFA. She was invited as an ambassador and spoke to the audience about fistula, what it is, and how SALFA could help. She encouraged others to come for treatment.
During the event, she was interviewed by media and felt an outpouring of respect – something she hadn't felt in years. Today, she is considered one of the hospital's best ambassadors, having referred more than 5 women for treatment.

We previewed the Philips DCM230 back in July, along with a range of new iPod docks. We've now got one in the lab and we've had chance for a brief play.
Since we hadn't seen or heard anything about this model in almost half a year, we must excuse ourselves for being under the impression the RRP was 129 pounds ($268). With this in mind, our first thought upon seeing and hearing the DCM230 was, "Not bad, but too expensive at 129 pounds." But we were soon to be shocked when checking the price: it actually costs 200 pounds (about $415).
This is one of the most overpriced iPod systems we've seen aimed at the general consumer. Griffin's Amplifi offers absolutely superb sound quality--complete with a 2.1 audio setup--for just 80 pounds (about $166). True, it doesn't have any of the DCM230's other features, such as an integrated CD player, a USB port, radio or even an LCD display. But decent sound quality is a vital prerequisite of an audio system, and for 200 pounds this new Philips offering just doesn't cut it.
Visually however, we're not disappointed. The system has a refined, modern look and feel, with excellent build quality to match. Other features are less impressive, such as an LCD display matched by many scientific calculators, and playback of only MP3 and WMA CDs. Although USB devices are supported, there's no love shown for any protected content stored on them; just plain old MP3 and WMA again.
Where's WAV, OGG, lossless WMA, FLAC, AAC? For a system with such a high price tag, these added luxuries are vital, and their absence just rubs salt into a very stylish, but nonetheless gaping wound. There are also just four equaliser settings: rock, pop, jazz and classic. There's no option to turn the EQ off.
The inclusion of Philips' Streamium functionality--wireless networking--could've completely made up for the lackluster sound quality and feature set. But it too is missing.
We'll have a full review for you very soon, but our first impressions obviously aren't great. In such a competitive market, a balance of price, sound quality and features is vital, and the DCM230 is greatly outweighed by its optimistic price tag.

The national sport of India and Nepal is cricket, a game I couldn't understand let alone get into. While baseball is not my favorite sport, when we heard that Koreans were crazy about it I couldn't resist buying some tickets to a game while we were in Seoul. Below are seven of the biggest differences we noticed between Korean and American baseball.

You'll see the first of many differences before you even get into the stadium. When purchasing tickets to the game you're asked who you're going to root for. That's because seats on the first base line are designated for the home team fans while seats on the third base line reserved for fans of the visiting team. When we found out the home team in Seoul was the Bears we had no choice but to root for them.

6. Make Some Noise!!
[ptcPhoto filename="BaseballNoise.jpg" title="Korean Baseball Fans" caption="Not a bad turnout" position="center"]
Mid-season baseball isn't exactly heart-pumping excitement, but don't tell that to fans in Korea! Audience participation is guaranteed with the use of thousands of "thunder sticks" – inflatable plastic tubes that make a ton of noise when rhythmically struck together.
We forgot to pick up a set before going to the game so I made do with a couple of empty 1.5 liter plastic beer bottles we happened to have with us.

5. Cheerleaders for Baseball?!
Every intermission between innings brings the chearleaders out on stage for a dance routine. Costume changes are regular. Dedicated male chearleaders lead the many chants that the entire stadium seems to know.

4. Well, at Least They're Better than Little League
While I couldn't judge the batting and pitching too much from the stands, there were at least five fielding errors during the game – something that is very uncommon in American baseball. Maybe they were just having an off-day.

3. Drinking Games on the Jumbotron
That's right. There's no kiss-cam, but instead you get to watch drinking games for prizes among audience members on the jumbotron.
The below drinking game resulted in a tie, followed by a dance-off!
2. Creepy Mascots
The mascot for the Bears was so drunk he had trouble standing up on his own. And I'm not sure what's going on in this photo.
[ptcPhoto filename="LecherousBear.jpg" title="Lecherous Mascot" caption="Dinger never looks lecherous" position="center"]
1. I Can Bring WHAT into the Stadium?!
By far the biggest difference from attending a game in the States is that you are allowed to bring your own alcohol into the stadium. Burger King, KFC, and vendors selling Korean snacks such as dried squid and fish are available inside, but most people bring their own beer and anything from chinese food to pizza.
If you forgot to buy beer before the game (or ran out as we did) you can buy a cold one from guys wearing small kegs on their backs. The price for a large beer was a very reasonable $3.
[ptcPhoto filename="DoosanKeg.jpg" title="Beer Vendor" caption="Our POST 7th inning stretch savior." position="center"]
We heard that the games in other Korean cities aren't quite as lively, so if you have a chance we'd definitely recommend seeing a game in Seoul. It was a fun cultural experience that also made us feel right at home. Dare I say American baseball games would be more exciting with some of these Korean additions?

Home phone service in Northfork, WV is available from many different providers, and to find the best service, consumers need to compare offers from several providers. When searching for a suitable service, three important considerations are reliability, pricing and features. Wirefly is the best place to compare residential phone service providers in Northfork, WV. A high-quality residential phone service should be affordable, but it should also be packed with many great features. Reliability is one of the most important considerations because a service that isn't reliable is almost useless. The best services come with no restrictions and deliver excellent call quality. For the best experience with a VoIP service, consumers need to have a high-speed Internet connection. View Northfork, WV home phone service carriers below:

VoIP has been around for a while, but recently, it has become much more popular because of affordable pricing. VoIP is short for voice over Internet protocol, and by transforming a voice into a digital signal, it's capable of transmitting telephone calls over the Internet. By choosing a VoIP service in Northfork, WV, consumers gain the ability to use the service in any location that has a high-speed Internet connection. The service can work well for travelers and business professionals because they can take their VoIP services along for the ride.
Unrestricted customization is another advantage of getting a VoIP service. One of the major downsides of choosing a traditional phone service is the lack of customization. Traditional phone service providers are known to choose a customer's area code, and they don't allow the customer to change the code. The ability to change their area code is one of the freedoms that VoIP customers enjoy. The option to change the area code for calls is especially important for business professionals.
VoIP is also popular because of the variety of features it offers. VoIP customers can enjoy unlimited calling, call blocking, call waiting, caller ID, three-way calling and call forwarding. They even get to enjoy 24-hour customer service. When compared with most other options, VoIP can be much more affordable, and it comes with a wide range of useful features.
Like traditional phone service that runs over wires, DSL phone service in Northfork, WV runs over copper lines but provides faster, better service than your run-of-the-mill telephone line services. Consumers use a modem to integrate their internet and phone services, and providers typically bundle the services together as a cost effective convenience. Starter DSL packages can begin as low as $19.95, with costs increasing based on the speed of the desired internet service. Want a lower price? Consider using a contract plan through a provider to enjoy better pricing through some providers.
DSL service in Northfork, WV is better for a lot of consumers than traditional phone service because it allows customers the benefits of bundling their phone and internet together into a 2-in-1 affordable service. Not as sophisticated as VoIP, DSL is a step above traditional telephone/dial-up service, where consumers can only use either the telephone or internet, one at a time. DSL does have a downside. It is significantly less reliable to consumers who live farther away from their provider. DSL users have also reported busy lines when too many customers are using their lines at once. This can be tricky during the holiday season, and has proven to be problematic during extreme emergency situations.
People have used landline phone service for over a century. It utilizes copper wires attached to jacks in customers' homes. Subscribers may connect corded telephones or cordless phones that work in the vicinity of their homes. Sophisticated extra features are available, such as caller ID and call waiting. However, they usually cost extra. An advantage of corded landlines is that they normally continue to work during power and Internet outages. This technology doesn't rely on wireless signals or Internet communications, so it's generally quite reliable.
Each landline account is only accessible in one house or apartment. Another drawback is that this option costs more than VoIP. Although basic local-only service is cheaper, most Northfork, WV subscribers spend around $50 per month. They can add basic dial-up Internet for about $10 more. A significant advantage of landline service is that it delivers the clearest audio, especially when both parties are using corded phones. This proves desirable for people who spend many hours on the telephone or need to make particularly important calls. For example, a traditional landline is best for radio interviews.
Many consumers are shifting towards wireless home phone service. Many cell phone service providers offer wireless phone service on a pre- or post-paid basis. With an endless list of features and a long list of providers to choose from, wireless home phone customers enjoy a wide range of freedoms. For example, a wireless home phone customer in Northfork, WV may be able to get additional features such as caller ID or voicemail. They can also take advantage of unique cell phone technologies such as the mobile hotspot. If you're interested in getting wireless cell service, you can compare cell phone plans in Northfork, WV using Wirefly.
Wireless phone service in Northfork, WV offers extreme flexibility. No matter where a customer is traveling, their wireless phone plan can go with them. The biggest disadvantage of wireless phone service is that it is generally more expensive than other options. These plans start at approximately $30 per month with limited calling time. For a wireless service plan with unlimited voice minutes, customers can expect to pay around $50 per month. Features such as picture messaging, text messaging and data may cost additional fees. Once additional features are added, wireless phone service can easily climb to nearly $100 a month. Additionally, wireless phone service may not be reliable in some places. While wireless service has some strong advantages, it is also one of the most expensive methods.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

ST. LOUIS — Designer suitcases were hurriedly snapped, cartons of soiled equipment rolled out the door. The Dodgers clubhouse was in full escape mode.
It had been an hour since their season was wretchedly ended by the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Friday night in a 9-0 loss in the clinching Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers had been stopped short of a World Series for the 25th consecutive season, and they couldn't leave this roiling sea of red and regret quickly enough.
All except A.J. Ellis. The team's staunch catcher remained standing in front of his locker, sweaty jersey still on his back, dirt smudged on his cheek. Ellis wanted to make one more play. Before his teammates disappeared, he wanted to leave them and their crestfallen fans back in Los Angeles with a message.
"It's fun to be a Dodger again," he said.
If there is an overriding theme to the tumultuously delightful season in which Los Angeles' most enduring sports power regained its hold on a city's heart, that is it.
This was the summer it was fun to be a Dodger again.
On the 25th anniversary of their last world championship, they failed to completely recapture the past. But, for the first time since 1998, when the venerable Peter O'Malley sold the team into years of chaos, the Dodgers gave Los Angeles real hope for the future.
In their first full season under Guggenheim Baseball Management, which bought the team for more than $2 billion, the Dodgers did more than simply assemble the richest payroll in baseball history at around $230 million. By winning 42 of 50 games during one regular-season stretch and winning the National League West and defeating the Atlanta Braves in the first round of the playoffs, they gave roaring, dancing, Puiiiiiiiging Dodger Stadium fans a show that was often priceless.
It was fun to be a Dodger again, for the expressive players in the dugout, for the towel-waving folks in the pavilion, for that weird dancing bear who showed up on the dugout for a moment during the playoffs.
Barely two years after the financial shenanigans of former owner Frank McCourt drove away fans ands stripped the team bare, a Guggenheim Group led by Mark Walter and represented by Magic Johnson brought the Dodgers brand back.
"Lots of new owners come in and say they are going to turn an organization around," Ellis said. "Our owners actually did it."
They brought back drama. The Dodgers began the season with just 30 wins in their first 72 games and had a spot in last place amid predictions that this could be sports' most expensive bust ever. Their manager, Don Mattingly, was days from being fired and their most popular player, Matt Kemp, couldn't overcome injuries. All of which set the stage for the arrival of rookie Yasiel Puig and the return of injured Hanley Ramirez, both of which set up that historic winning stretch that carried them into October.
One minute their hopes were all wet. The next minute they were celebrating the NL West division title by jumping into the Arizona Diamondbacks' outfield swimming pool.
"It wasn't just what we did that made this year so special," General Manager Ned Colletti said. "It was how we did it."
They brought back fun. Improved amenities, cleaner facilities and updated between-innings entertainment made the formerly cramped and tense Dodger Stadium a more fun place for the fans, whose regular-season turnout produced a league-leading 3.7 million attendance figure.
A light touch by Mattingly allowed the players to join that fun with a variety of unique celebration gestures, such as first baseman Adrian Gonzalez's exploding fireworks fist pump. This unpredictable dynamic reached its peak in Game 5 of the NLCS. Actor Will Ferrell started things off by introducing the starting lineup and saying Zack Greinke would be the game's winning pitcher. Then, when the game started, Gonzalez hit a home run and taunted the Cardinals by wagging his fingers next to his batting helmet imitating mouse ears as he jogged toward the Dodgers dugout. That was in response to a St. Louis player who had called his celebratory actions two games before "Mickey Mouse."
Finally, the new ownership brought back a connection. The fans could connect with the likes of Walter and Johnson because they were often seen cheering like kids from their field-level seats next to the home-team dugout. But more than anything, fans connected with the diverse and daring group of players, whose energy was epitomized by the perplexing, popular Puig.
The 22-year-old Cuban showed up on June 3 and Chavez Ravine was never the same. He elicited roars for his giant swings, breathless sprints and joyous gestures to the sky. He was the most exciting player on the field just rounding first base. He threw out a runner from the right-field wall to end his first game. He had two homers and five runs batted in in his second game. He slid at home plate in another game after hitting a winning home run.
Puig also enraged opponents with his gestures and bewildered his own coaches with mistakes in right field and on the bases. He made three awful fielding decisions in the Dodgers' final loss Friday, two of which resulted in errors. But his No. 66 jersey is now on the backs of thousands, and he'll undoubtedly be greeted next season with something that only sounds like boos — the favorite new chant of Dodgers fans being his last name stretched out like taffy.
"People have to remember that the kid is just getting started," Colletti said. "Hopefully this team is just getting started."
Indeed, most of the Dodgers' core will return next season, led by baseball's best pitcher and its most powerful middle infielder. Clayton Kershaw will have to recover from his worst performance of the season in the Dodgers' final game, and Ramirez will have to recover from a fractured rib that rendered him ineffective in the final series, but both will be in uniform in spring training.
Oh, and you know who else thinks it's fun to be a Dodger again? Vin Scully is also returning to create this city's most beloved soundtrack for a 65th season.
Finally, once again, it's time for Dodger baseball.
