1964 Beatles Record Fetches $14,999
Known as the first Beatles album released in the United StatesJuly 17, 2012
By James Massey
(Source: WhatSellsBest.com) - This rare record album, 'Introducing... The Beatles' recently fetched $14,999 in an eBay auction.
The 1964 album, featuring the songs 'Love Me Do & P.S. I Love You' (Vee Jay VJLPS-1062) was stated to be in near mint condition with its original Sears baggy style wrapping and price sticker.
Why's It Rare?
The record, 'Introducing... The Beatles' by Vee-Jay Records is known as the first Beatles album released in the United States. Apparently [1], it was originally scheduled for release in July of 1963, but was delayed by legal issues until January 1964. The albums release reportedly came just ten-days before Capitol Records 'Meet The Beatles!'
Reportedly [1], Vee-Jay Records in a rush to get the albums out the door, had 6,000 front (album) covers printed and ready-to-go. But, they still didn't have the back of the cover prepared. Needing a temporary fix, they used full-color (thumbnail) reproductions of other albums, to advertise 25 records from their label on the back-side of the record. This rare first-run cover which is known as the "Ad Back" version, is highly-sought by collectors.
According to the sellers listing; "This is the early 1964 first issue Version One stereo "Ad Back" album with the color ads of other Vee Jay albums printed on the back cover." The seller also stated the albums condition as being near-mint, which also adds to it's rarity.
Buyer Confidence Can Lift Prices
Having the record sale backed by a well-known eBay seller specializing in Beatles Memorabilia probably also helped boost buyer confidence, and the final price. Confidence is always key to an item reaching it's highest potential price, especially when bidders might have a concern due to counterfeits.
Auction Data & Statistics
The album received 24 bids from 13 bidders over the course of 10 days. The opening bid on July 2nd, was 99 cents. The final bid was $14,999. The eBay view-counter recorded over 1,800 visitors to the listing. The auction was ended on a Thursday, July 12, (2012) at 5:08pm Pacific Standard Time.
For more information and close-up photos of the album see; **eBay auction listing; #280913359739 (auction links may expire after 90 days).
Beatles items continue to be hot. In April (2012), we reported an fully-signed early record had fetched $24,675, and a rare promotional demo (record) collected $19,586. Both were on eBay.
In May, The Guardian reported The Beatles famed 'Backwards' Abbey Road photograph had sold for $25,000 (£16,000).
Then in June, an extemely rare Cavern Club Beatles Poster fetched $42,515.

- I began using the ERGObrass horn support a few months before back surgery, in anticipation of having to perform soon after the surgery itself. After a short period of adjustment, I discovered I was able to play with less tension in my whole upper body, with better posture and more relaxed airflow, whether I was sitting or standing. I also found I experienced less pain and fatigue after long rehearsals, performances, or days of constant playing. I told my doctor about this device and as a result was allowed to begin practicing one week after surgery, and performed two weeks after that. Now that the surgery is behind me and my back has recovered, I have decided to continue using this horn support into the foreseeable future. I highly recommend it, not just for people with back problems, but for young players, marching bands, and anyone who wants to extend their playing careers, or even just get the horn off their legs.
Jeffrey Snedeker
Professor of Horn
Central Washington University, USA
- For years I struggled with playing demanding solo and quartet literature while standing. I was always frustrated that my playing was so much better while sitting. I could never really show off to the public what I was really capable of doing, nor could I express musically and in minute detail the things I had practiced so hard. This was mainly due to the heavy weight of the horn (Paxman Triple), as well as a natural tendency to tension while playing. After having received the ERGObrass, I could tell immediately that this device would have enormous potential for me and my situation. I am very aware that everyone plays differently and we all have different problems. But mine has always been this problem with the weight of the instrument. It takes a bit of experimentation and getting used to, but I have already seen a huge improvement. I have been working with the ERGObrass stand now for several weeks and plan to use it at upcoming performances in Spain, Singapore, Australia and Rome.
Kerry Turner
American Horn Quartet
Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg
- With this system a child of any age can play a horn without any physical problems. Not just for the sake of using air, but also to maintain good posture without any tension. I am not saying this just as a spectator but as a father of two "fantastic" hornists, age 7 and 9 years. With the ERGObrass support they never have any tension, and they never get tired in any part of the body, except in the lips, of course! Without any doubt the ERGObrass support should be an indispensable tool for every young hornist and also for every horn professor.
Javier Bonet
International horn artist
Professor of horn, Madrid, Spain
- I have been teaching little students for years. I found they always have problem on keeping good embouchure and posture of holding the horn. With Ergobrass, the little students can maintain good posture no tension and control the horn very easy. My youngest students who is just only 5, she can play the horn very relex and good air flow. It's no doubt that the Ergobrass is a good invention for the young players.
Sally Ng
Hornist, Hong Kong Wind Kamerata
Horn teacher, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (Junior School)
Hong Kong
- I use the ERGObrass whenever I play, and I love it. All the tension that used to travel up my left arm is gone. The ERGObrass is also quite a conversation piece in the New York freelancing scene - everybody wants to know what it is, and wants to try it. It is a wonderful solution to the problem of the awkwardness of holding the horn.
- When I play with the ERGObrass, my breathing comes easier, because my whole body is more relaxed.
- The biggest side effect of using the support was figuring out how to cue in a chamber music setting. My normal cuing motions were not possible, and I had to figure out a new way to communicate physically with my colleagues. I was able to solve this issue in a few rehearsals.
Dan Grabois
Meridian Arts Ensemble, New York
- A player needs only a little time to get used to the ERGObrass, a support device that works well in practising at home and in the concert hall. It helps prevent many stress injuries. With this support one can avoid problems caused by bad performing posture -- the device encourages correct body alignment for horn playing. The ERGObrass makes it easier to hold the instrument; it frees a player from physical tension, not just in the hands and back but also in the throat. It helps relax the player's breathing. I recommend the ERGObrass for every horn player!
Erja Joukamo-Ampuja
Professor of horn
Sibelius Academy, Helsinki Finland
- Playing with the ERGObrass is much lighter. You notice it especially when you have to play more demanding material. I have tested other horn support devices, but they have not convinced me. With the ERGObrass you can use your energy for the music as you do not need to worry about holding your instrument (I use triple horn, 5,5 kg). The ERGObrass makes a big difference! No more pains or tiredness in my neck, shoulders or hands. I have also tested the ERGObrass with my students and they find the right playing posture readily: with a straight back, and they do not turn their head unnecessarily. I wholeheartedly endorse the ERGObrass for both students and professional players.
Pasi Pihlaja
Principal horn
Tapiola Sinfonietta
Espoo, FInland
- When you don't have to hold the instrument with tensed hands you can breathe freely, more efficiently, and you also get rid of the unwanted pressure in the embouchure, which is often a consequence of struggling with the weight of the horn. This is very important for good tone quality. With the ERGObrass you do not get tired so you can practise a lot longer; you do not bend under the strain of carrying the horn's weight.
Jouni Suuronen
Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, alternating principal horn
Professor of horn, Tampere Music Academy
Tampere, Finland
- ERGObrass has solved problems I had in coping with the weight of the horn. The ERGObrass support makes performance a light and comfortable experience. A good posture is easy to maintain and therefore breathing is more efficient. What more could a horn player ask for? I will never play without this marvellous tool..

Freddie Mercury Biopic Back In Flux After Director Drops Out
Written by Steven Panzarella(@ProCreateSteve)
The Biopic about the life of Queen front man Freddie Mercury has gone through a few phases in the last year or so; Sacha Baron Cohen was originally attached to star in the film but after creative differences with the living members of the band who have director and script approval the Borat star removed himself as the lead. More recently the film was actually moving forward with Skyfall actor Ben Whishaw in the leading role and Actor/Director Dexter Fletcher (Kick-Ass, Muppets Most Wanted) was ready to begin pre-production on the movie that was set to begin shooting this summer. Now Fletcher has left the film due to creative differences and producers begin searching for a new director. As of now Whishaw is expected to remain in the lead role and the film is hoping to remain on track for a summer start to filming. The script for the Untitled Freddie Mercury Biopic was written by Oscar nominee Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and is being produced by Robert De Niro and his Tribeca productions.
Personally I would have loved to see Sacha Baron Cohen take on this role, he had the opportunity to really embody the character and he also kind of already looked the part. That being said I also really enjoy the work of Ben Whishaw especially in the last few years on the short lived BBC America program The Hour, and in Skyfall as Q (A role he absolutely killed). Whishaw is a fantastic young actor who I can imagine will play this part very well. Once a director is found the movie should move forward but of course there is always a director or two you would like to see take on such a story. One of them would be Terry Gilliam (both Gilliam and Whishaw worked together on The Zero Theorem which is set to hit theaters this year) or Les Miserable director Tom Hooper (maybe with less close-ups). Either guy I believe could make this movie work especially since it has gone through the ringer the past year or so it could use a stable helmer to guide it through.

Burnouts are fully mutated humans that have poisonous pus sores on their bodies, which are their only weak spots. In order to kill them, you must target the poisonous pus sores or use the environment. Some Burnouts have these sores on their asses. Burnouts give away their position by howling or making low growling sounds, but some times they can be more stealthy so paying attention to the surroundings is important.
Burnouts are first seen in Act 3, Chapter 1, in the crumbling tunnel, when the player has to press RMB. There, Gray shouted:"What was that?!".
Only two types of Burnout so far found in the game. Burnouts of both varieties seem impervious to the displacement field caused by the kick and slide attacks, however leash attacks do cause a displacement field.
- Common Burnouts. They come in different sizes from large to medium to small. Burnout weakspots are always in different areas. Some skillshots achievable are:
- Assplosion: (50 points) A shot to the glowing weakspot on the Burnout's ass. Kick them down and use the screamer to make this much easier.
- Steady Hand: Gain a kill on a burnout by ONLY shooting its weak glowing spots. This can definitely be done with the PMC, Head Hunter, Screamer and Penetrator. It is the easiest with the Headhunter, as you can guide the bullet to the weak spot. Strangely, a charging Burnout will stand still and face you when you shoot him with the Headhunter.
- Muta-Burnout. Only encountered three times in the game, and fought three times. They cannot be killed by any weapons and will be stunned if shot by a charged shot from any weapon or shooting with a Boneduster will knock it back. Can only be killed by environmental hazards. When stunned, they are to be kicked into the said environmental hazards. They are said to be made entirely of dead tissue and have no life sign readings according to Ishi Sato.
- Like the Creeps, the Burnouts are actually the tourists that did not escape after the fighting broke out and Topsiders (non-convicts) who were mutated after seeking refuge underground in prison compounds close to the toxic waste dumps, as stated by Gen. Sarrano.
- Burnouts are very vulnerable to explosives and fire, a nearby "Barrel" explosion will kill them instantly.

Honey and I have a made up word...dream squasher. It's just like what it says. Someone who stomps on your ideas and completely belittles your hopes and dreams. Oh so not a good thing. We made up this word because over the many years we've been married we've obviously shared a lot of dreams and ideas with each other. Some have been great and others not so great. For the most part we share the same enthusiasm for things. But every now and then one of us will be guilty of being a dream squasher.
Case in point. I was just dreaming out loud the other night. Saying wouldn't it be great if someday we could move to Maui. You all know how much I LOVE Hawaii:) He quickly said...well that will never happen. Nothing like the word never to completely deflate you. Just having it uttered into the universe seems almost sinful because well... you just never know. Life is unpredictable at times and I tend to believe that anything is possible. In all fairness it probably never will happen, but I kind of have a rule to never say never. There is thing that happens in me too...when someone says never. It makes me want it even more. Then I start concocting all kinds of plans to make it happen. I guess determination sets in and I want to prove that person wrong.
Our conversation made me think of other dreams I have...like staying busy creating and selling my stuff on Etsy. My girls will both be in school full time this year. It's crazy that the day is finally approaching. I've always had a little bubble of fear in the back of my mind saying...what's next? I've always tried to ignore it and to just trust that when the time came the Lord would take care of it. And I know He will, but I still want to get in there and figure it all out. When will I ever learn to just surrender?:)
Have a blessed day.
Okay so I added some new stuff today. Check it out.
Most items can be made with a custom saying too:)

This is a meme hosted at Reading at the Beach. To join, here's all you have to do: Go to your stack of books and find one whose title starts with the letter of the week. Post:
1~ a photo of the book
2~ title and synopsis
3~ link(amazon, barnes and noble etc.)
Creepers by David Morrell, which I read in September 2009, and enjoyed quite a bit. Marce @ Tea Time with Marce was looking for a horror book capable of giving sleepless nights ::wink::, so I suggested her this book. Since the letter for this week is C, I thought I will post my review as well. I gave it 4 stars. (Note: I do not generally read horror, so this one might not be scary enough to the horror aficionados out there!) Here's a synopsis, from the back of the book:
On a cold October night, five people gather in a run-down motel on the Jersey shore and begin preparations to break into the Paragon Hotel. Built in the glory days of Asbury Park by a reclusive millionaire, the magnificent structure - which foreshadowed the beauties of art deco architecture - is now boarded up and marked for demolition.
The five people are "creepers," the slang term for urban explorers: city archeologists with a passion for investigating abandoned buildings and their dying secrets. On this evening, they are joined by a reporter who wants to profile them - anonymously, as this is highly illegal activity - for a New York Times article.
Frank Balenger, a sandy-haired, broad-shouldered reporter with a decided air of mystery about him, isn't looking for just a story, however. And after the group enters the rat-infested tunnel leading to the hotel, it becomes clear that he will get much more than he bargained for. Danger, terror, and death await the creepers in a place ravaged by time and redolent of evil.
Here's the review I posted on Goodreads:
To see what "C" books other bloggers chose, visit this link.
Overall impression: it was entertaining, gripping, and genuinely created a sense of fear in me.
It was not what I expected though. When I read the book description, I expected something paranormal. I thought creepers themselves were sub-human. Even the first quarter of the book still made me expect something to that tune. Especially the albino cat, the mutant rats and the skeletons. Come to think of it, there is no clear explanation given for these asides.
I liked the way the story played out. But 3 things didn't quite work for me. One is the use of coincidence in the story. The second is how all other characters became puppets in the matter of death. And finally, but once in a rare while, the writing didn't work out for me. In one or two places, I sensed repetition (almost as if there was no other way to write the sentence), and a few points that were best left out from the book. However, looking from the perspective of the main protagonist, I would say these two jarring points fit in well with his character, so I won't count against it.
On the positive side, the author's description of the place was very very realistic. I still have a lot of photo images in my head of the building and it's interiors. It was very horror-inducing and even gory for a book. Some of the deaths were just candidates for a Final Destination movie. I couldn't put the book down right from page 1. Of course, I had to put the book down sometimes, but that was since I had no choice. Overall, I enjoyed it.

The Next Big Health-Care Issue
The next big brouhaha for the Affordable Care Act will be how much premiums go up in the non-group insurance market. Premiums for 2015 are starting to be released by state insurance departments as insurers submit them. Here are two things to keep in mind as this issue unfolds:
First, 85% of those who purchase insurance in the new marketplaces will get a government subsidy in the form of a tax credit to help defray the cost of the premium. That means that most people buying in the exchanges won't pay much even if their premium cost goes up significantly.

Recently the following was posted on the TMA website.
In an essay published on January 21st in Tobacco Control, Boston University School of Public Health professor and tobacco control advocate Dr. Michael Siegel and University of Washington graduate student Brian Houle say that employer policies prohibiting the hiring of smokers are growing in popularity in the US, but this approach is unfair and may have unintended consequences, as the widespread adoption of such policies may make smokers "nearly unemployable, cause them to lose their health insurance and affect their health and that of their families." (Los Angeles Times 01/21)
So what do you think?
Do you know of anyone that has been affected by this new form of discrimination? Does your company have policies like this? Are the companies right? Are they wrong?
Are Michael & Brian right in their thoughts?
Is this a stepping stone to other forms of discrimination that go unchecked? Let us know what you think?

As one who actively campaigned (from 1989-1994) with Chambers of Commerce, NFIB and GOP legislative caucuses against cigarette manufacturer sponsored right-to-smoke legislation in all 50 states, I noticed that Siegel/Houle repeated many of the unsubstantiated claims, false analogies and sky-is-falling predictions that were made by cigarette companies more than a decade ago.
A small minority (probably 5%-10%) of employers have had smokefree hiring policies ever since cigarette smoking became fashionable a century ago (e.g. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison).
I'm not going to reargue these issues of employment law here, but will do so again if similar legislation is introduced and advances in a state legislature.

Gotta love the way you all folks just think government should control you all! I'd just think too many people are noisy bodies. I wonder if any of you ever thought of how this could effect lower paying jobs were more folks smoke. Probably raise the pay rate to compensate for lack of employees.

I was reading the attached on your blog roll in the Michael Siegel spot and thought you'd find this a bit ironic.

Northern Territory Medical Association Director Compares Smokers with Pedophiles
The president of the Northern Territory Medical Association has compared smokers to pedophiles, according to an article in the Northern Territory News.
According to the article, the remarks came in the context of the Medical Association president calling for a ban on smokers being employed by the Territory Health Department. He pointed out that smokers would be most inappropriate as employees when working with indigenous Territorians and stated that sending smokers out to work with indigenous people was like allowing convicted pedophiles to work with children:
"Smokers should be discriminated against when applying for jobs with the Territory Health Department, a leading doctor declared yesterday. NT Australian Medical Association president Peter Beaumont said the bias should be strongest when recruiting people to work in Aboriginal communities. He said sending smokers to work with indigenous people was like allowing convicted pedophiles to work with children."
"Sixty per cent of indigenous Territorians smoke, compared with 17 per cent in the general community. Dr. Beaumont said he didn't care if his proposal caused a "backlash". "You wouldn't send pedophiles to work in an area where there were lots of children," he said. "Society wouldn't think there was anything wrong with putting limits on them. "So why shouldn't we limit people who have a very bad health habit?" Dr. Beaumont said discriminating against smokers in the NT public service would set a good example to the rest of the community."
The Rest of the Story
The significance of this story is that this statement is coming not from some commenter on a blog (I have seen such comments), but from a physician who is in a leadership position in the medical profession. This individual runs the Northern Territory Medical Association. Thus, in some respects, his statement characterizes the position of all physicians in the Northern Territory.
Discriminating against smokers is the last thing in the world that you would want to do in the NT. Since rates of smoking among indigenous Territorians are extremely high (about 60%), the Medical Association is promoting a position by which the majority of the indigenous community would not be eligible for employment.
There is no reason why smokers as a group should be categorically denied employment in the health field. While you might not want to hire a smoker as a smoking cessation counselor, virtually any other position in the public health field is one for which a smoker could be equally or more qualified than a nonsmoker. By categorically denying employment to smokers, you are ensuring that you will not have the most qualified work force. By definition, then, you will not be able to provide health services most effectively.
Fortunately, the NT Health Minister immediately rejected the Medical Association's proposal: "We have enough difficulties recruiting health professionals to the Territory. Why would we place further restrictions on them?"
As far as the comparison between smokers and pedophiles, it is a disgusting and despicable comment and a retraction and apology is called for. It is an embarrassment to not only the NT Medical Association, but to physicians everywhere.

I was given a "ticket" because I went outside, across the state line, to have a cigarette at work. It wasn't a charge at all but, it was a "ticket" that goes to my supervisor and if I get enough of them, I can get fired. There needs to be put in place policies that protect workers from this kind of crap.

The Best Sailing Anchor
What are the best sailing anchors? That is not usually a question you are asking yourself when you are buying a sailboat for the first time. The boat must come with one, and I don't need to worry about it. Unfortunately, it is not quite as simple as that. You should not trust that the previous owner knew what they are doing, and you should also be thinking about the type of sailing you are going to do and if it differs from what came before.
A good anchor can make your sailing life a lot easier, and it might even be a lifesaver. Hopefully, it will never come to that, but if you find yourself in a precarious situation with the wrong anchor, then things can start to go badly.
Thankfully, we have done the research so you can make an informed choice about the type of anchor you need.
Here is our list of the 10 best sailing anchors in 2020.

How To Choose A Sailing Anchor – Buying Guide
Monohull Vs. Multihull
The more you sail, the more you know. As a beginner (or even as an experienced sailor) you may wonder what anchor you need based on your hull type. The truth is that you do not need to choose based on the hull, you need to make a choice based on the size of your craft. The bigger the craft, the more holding power you will need.
Lakes Vs. Coastal Waterways
The type of water you are sailing on will determine how much holding power you need in an anchor. The ocean will need more than a lake or a river. You should determine the most turbulent water you will be in and buy your anchor based on that. The anchor will work on anything calmer.
Choosing The Correct Ancho Weight
If you have bought your sailboat, then you should know the vessel's length and weight. If you do not know them, the length is pretty easy to get by measuring it yourself. The weight may need some online searching to find the same or similar vessels, with information. Once you know the weight and length of your vessel, you can use the manufacturer's specifications to determine if an anchor is right for you.
Construction Materials
- ALUMINUM is lightweight and still gives good holding power. The tradeoff for it being lightweight is the cost. They are not as strong as some other materials but offer great holding power in comparison.
- GALVANIZED STEEL gives you strength and a good price-point. It is not shiny, like some of the other materials. Galvanized steel is also corrosive en can wear. Try to find an anchor which has been hot-dipped.
- STAINLESS STEEL looks great. It is resistant to rust and corrosion, but it does have a higher price-point than some other materials on the list.
- HIGH TENSILE STEEL is a lot stronger than regular steel. A great material if your primary focus is strength.
- MANGANESE STEEL is a strong material and lasts great when exposed to impact. Great for rockier terrains.
Seabed Conditions
The terrain under you will take some of the choice from your hands. Different anchor designs work better in different situations. Plow-style works in most conditions, as does scoop-style. Fluke anchors work best in loose conditions, such as sand and mud.
Rocks, Reefs, And Coral
Rocks, reefs, and coral can all claim an anchor. Be careful when navigating with these below, and if you need an anchor for these conditions, then try to find one with slotted shanks.
Mud, Sand, And Grass
Fluke-style anchors are best for these conditions. Sometimes there is sediments, air pockets, or loose materials underneath, so you need an anchor which can penetrate deep and give you the hold you need. Fluke anchors are great for digging down deep to grip and hold your boat.
Weather Conditions
Most of the time on your adventures you will be met with favorable conditions, but even with the most careful research and eye on the weather, you can be caught in quick-turning weather. If you do get caught in a storm, you should make sure that you have an anchor which will hold. Thankfully, most of the modern anchors out there have been tested in just these conditions. If you have an old anchor, then I would recommend replacing it with a newer one.
Q: How Do I Anchor A Sailboat?
Anchoring a sailboat is not quite as simple as throwing your anchor overboard and waiting for it to hit the bottom. You need to worry about the currents, the terrain, the tide, and your luck. Here are some things to think about before you buy your anchor.
Q: Does It Move With The Current And Tide?
When it comes time to set your anchor, you can have all the confidence in the world, and still not be able to set it. Even the most experienced sailors cannot set an anchor on the first try every time. If it does not set, you must be able to try again quickly . If you do not, the anchor may get stuck, and you will have to go into the water after it. Thankfully, there are some great additions to modern anchors:
- HINGED SHANKS are great for waters where the tide changes. If your boat is turned, a hinged shank will turn the anchor with you.
- FIXED SHANKS do not have the same versatility as hinged shanks when it comes to tidal or current changes, but they are great for helping to set in muddy seabeds. Choose the anchor based on where you will be sailing or choose multiple anchors for your sailboat.
Q: How Well Does It Set?
If you have an older anchor, then you may find that it takes a few tries to set the anchor correctly and get the hod you need. Most modern anchors come with self-righting mechanisms to ensure setting on the first try. I would recommend making sure that your anchor has one of the following before buying it:
- TIP BALLASTS weight the anchor on one end. When the anchor falls into the water or when it is pulled, the anchor will tip, and the ballast will stand the anchor in the correct position.
- ROLL BARS roll the anchor when it hits the sea floor, making sure that it is in the correct position to set.
Globo Surf Overview
Sailing is what we do to get away from the day to day drudge and realities of life on the land. Casting off and feeling the waves underneath you is a feeling like no other. A food anchor will keep you rooted when you need to be and will release easily when you want to continue on your journey. Anchors are all about safety, but a really great one will become a company aboard your boat.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale signed 10-day contracts with Minnesota on Saturday morning, then scored the first 23 points of the fourth quarter to lift the Timberwolves to a 92-79 victory over the slumping Houston Rockets on Saturday night.
Johnson, signed from Santa Cruz of the NBA Development League, scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth. Gelabale, a forward who arrived from France on Thursday, had 10 of his 11 points in the final 12 minutes to help the injury-plagued Wolves snap a five-game skid.
James Harden scored 18 points on 5-of-18 shooting for the Rockets, who have lost seven straight games. Houston shot 32 percent and committed 20 turnovers in another lethargic effort that had coach Kevin McHale scrambling to find anybody who could give them some energy.

SKIRT: Bohme (similar here & here) / TOP: Target (similar here) / SHOES: Target / BAG: Forever 21 / SUNGLASSES: Karen Walker
{this flamingo wall was found at Retro Vegas: 1131 S Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89104}
I am so glad to finally be sharing these fun photos from this wall in Las Vegas! I saw it on Pinterest before we got there and knew I had to find it! I bought these shoes in preparation for our trip, as well as this denim skirt from Bohme. I loved this top I found at target. Which is very similar to this darling top from Madewell.
I love planning out trips! I love planning out what I am going to where as well as where we are going to take pictures. When I plan ahead it makes traveling STRESS FREE or a lot less stressful, anyway. There is nothing worse to me than getting somewhere and having to looking through pages and pages on yelp to pick somewhere to eat. So let me share how we find fun places to visit and eat; as well as how we find the perfect places to take photos!
I plan enough that it gives us ideas, keeps us busy, but I also love to leave a little wiggle room so we can enjoy and have the freedom to do what we want. I promise I am not super strict when it comes to itinerary. So I usually have a list of a few places we would like to eat (breakfast, lunch and dinner), as well as places to see/activities to do. Colin and I both love to visit new places and eat new foods. It is one of the reasons we love to travel! So planning out our trips like this makes it fun for us, and has us looking forward to getting to see these new places!
1. Pinterest
Pinterest is going to be your best friend when planning a trip. It is always the first place I go when we talk about traveling somewhere. It is my #1 source for ideas on where to eat, places to visit, take pictures etc... There are so many articles and blog posts filled with ideas.
When I start to plan a trip I usually search a few different key phrases. Once I find the perfect articles/pins I create a board dedicated to that trip so I can go back and see where we want to go, see, eat...
Here are a few ideas and key phrases of what to search for:
"Best places to eat in _____"
"Places to visit while in _____"
"Best places to take photos in _____"
"Wall murals in _____"
"_____ wall guide"
"Best Instagrammable spots in _____"
"Most photographed places in _____"
It does take a little bit of time to sift through different posts to find the perfect ones for you, but I promise preparing before hand is a lot easier than struggling to find places once you're there!
{I also specifically look for "best desserts/treats" as well. I am all about splurging while on vacation and love the different treats cities have.}
2. Instagram
Instagram is another place I love to look at when planning a trip. It is the perfect place to look for those "instagram worthy" spots. Perfect since it is instagram (haha.) There are a few different ways I look these up.
I look up specific locations. If we are going to Las Vegas, NV I look up the location and browse through some of the photos to see if there are any places I like. (you can search. multiple locations around the area as well.)
I use hashtags to help narrow my search or give me ideas. {For example: #lasvegas}
Look at people you follow. It might not always help, but if someone I follow has traveled to somewhere I am going soon I love to look closely at their posts and instagram stories for inspiration. It really helps me get into my creative space and inspired by getting ideas.
No two people are going to photograph the something exactly the same, so it is fun to see the creativity in each post. It helps me look at things from a different perspective and gives me inspiration for how I want to photograph when traveling.
3. Yelp
I know, typical...but I promise it really helps. Of course all of us want to visit a place with some serious aesthetics! So Yelp is essential for helping you find the meal that is worthy for "the gram." Once we have a few ideas of where we want to eat I look up those places and browse through the menu. I am huge on having to see what my food is going to look like before I order/eat it. I don't know why, but pictures are a must when it comes to ordering. Thank goodness for Yelp! Or I would be stuck trying to pick for hours.
Most cities have a lot of unique places to eat that are specific to that city. Most of those places will also have a lot of fun dishes. I love going to the places with wacky menu items or over the top presentation, etc... It is part of the experience! So why not make it fun? It is fun to see what the dish looks like beforehand.
For example: I went to college at Utah State in Logan, Utah. There was a diner called ''Angie's." They had a really unique dessert called 'the sink.' It was literally a kitchen sink filled with ice cream. If you finished you got a bumper sticker that said, "I cleaned the sink at Angie's." Obviously no one could finish it themselves, but everyone ordered it because it was unique and fun!
So those are the things I look for while traveling! Maybe not a sink full of ice cream, but fun quirky places that you wouldn't find anywhere else.
Looking at the photos people post of their orders helps me decide what looks good. It gives me a few ideas of what to order before we get there so I'm not stuck looking at the menu. Once we are there I look back on the few items that looked good to me and I order whatever I am in the mood for!
I really wish all restaurants had pictures next to everything on the menu! Find me that place, and I will have to go! Because that place is meant for me.
I hope this post helped you get an idea of how we plan for trips and hopefully it gave you a few new ideas on how to find those perfect places to visit!

Components of Residential Curb Appeal Enhancement Offered by Carlton Cleans, LLC
Curb Appeal Tips for your Residental Property
Interested in adding curb appeal to your residential property? Adding curb appeal has never been easier. Just follow our curb appeal tips below to increase the value of your property and leave your home looking great!
Roof Cleaning:
A low water pressure method of cleaning organic stains from the roof for increased curb appeal. This is especially valuable before listing the house for sale. In Montgomery County, MD it is common to see stains and streaks on the roof. In Silver Spring, for example, there are many wooded areas which in combination with warm wet weather mold, algae and fungus thrive. We provide a chemical cleaning with little run off to remove the organics. We also bag the downspouts and capture any runoff during the cleaning. However, this is minimized by our low-pressure application equipment which allows Carlton Cleans, LLC to apply the cleaning mix to the roof in low volume to kill the organics.
Adding Curb Appeal
Exterior House Wash:
Our exterior house washing service is an application of our house cleaning mix, dwell and rinse with hot water. We provide cleaning of siding, brick and composite siding; We do not use the pressure washer close to the surface of the house. We apply the hot water far enough from the house to "shower the surface" after the cleaning mix has pulled the dirt from the surface. The cleaning is performed by the cleaning mix and volume of water verses pressure. We provide an effective cleaning method without causing damage to the surface.
If you are having your house painted than a house wash is a must service for better paint adhesion and longevity. Many painting companies will offer a house wash service before painting. However, they often do not provide a quality service due to lack of experience and proper equipment. House washing is a necessary evil to the painting companies, and they rarely invest the necessary resources to the task.
Gutter Cleaning:
Gutters typically need to be cleaned inside and out to maintain good water flow and keep the typical white gutters from turning black. The black marks on the exterior of the gutters are from air pollution, tree dirt and roof runoff. The black marks are oxidized into the surface and can only be cleaned by hand with specific cleaners for the task because of oxidization layer has to be broken. The cleaners are strong, and ladders are needed to access the gutters. We do not recommend homeowners try to clean their own gutters.
Driveway and Sidewalks:
We offer a chemical low-pressure cleaning and high-pressure cleaning depending on the situation and state of the surface. Hot water is used in the cleaning.
Adding curb appeal has never been easier. If you are interested in any of our curb appeal tips, please contact us today!

Dutch renewable energy production rises
Production of electricity from renewable sources in the Netherlands grew by nearly 10 percent in 2011, Statistics Netherlands reports.
Total electricity production in the Netherlands amounted to 113 billion kWh in 2011. This is 4 percent less than in the previous year according to figures released by Statistics Netherlands. In the four preceding years, electricity production had risen each year.
Just over 5 billion kWh less electricity was produced in 2011 than in 2010. This decrease was mainly accounted for by power stations generating electricity from fossil fuels and supplying it to the national grid. Overall, power stations produced 7 percent less electricity. This decrease was caused by higher fuel prices combined with a larger supply of both domestic renewable electricity and electricity from abroad. Total energy consumption increased slightly in 2011.
Fossil fuel input was also lower in the so-called decentral production of electricity, i.e. production of electricity supplied to regional networks or used by the energy producing companies themselves. The total decentral production of electricity remained at the same level, however, as a result of production of electricity from wind.
Higher production of renewable electricity
The production of renewable electricity rose by nearly 10 percent in 2011. This increase was caused completely by electricity generated from wind. The amount of wind electricity rose by more than a quarter in 2011. Alongside wind, biomass is the main source of renewable electricity in the Netherlands. The amount of electricity generated from biomass was about the same in 2011 as in 2010.
Less and less electricity from coal
The share of electricity generated from fossil fuels fell from 90.5 to 82.5 percent between 1998 and 2011. This decrease was mainly the result of a decrease in the amount of electricity produced from coal; the share of this electricity decreased from 28 percent in 1998 to 18 percent in 2011. The share of electricity produced from natural gas remained fairly stable, at around 60 percent.

Announcing MozBar 3.0: the Free, Completely Redesigned SEO ToolbarBlog Post: June 03, 2014
I am very disappointed specially when i am using chrome. Now what i don't like is the bright dark grey color.
The color makes me distract and the width of the rectangle box covers all the top 10 results.
The old one was much better, however you can come up with design improvements
1) The toolbar is really causing a big problem, but it can be solved by making it transparent grey
2) Same can be done for the top 10 results where the color needs to be light and you can still make the boxes a bit transparent so that it doesn't distract.
I do like free Moz tools, its great but today I got distracted a lot.
I hope in the coming days i may see something good for sure!

New Roosevelt
New Roosevelt is not a formal organization, but the brand created by activist Bill Samuels to spur change to make New York State's legislature the best in the nation.
The focus of New Roosevelt, working with Effective New York, is major constitutional and statutory reform in the following areas:
These are neither Republican nor Democratic issues but are necessary in order to eliminate the dysfunction that has plagued New York State. In this effort Bill advocates for progressive change.
In 2010 through the New Roosevelt Initiative, Bill supported the election of idealist insurgents like now-Senator Gustavo Rivera to defeat disgraced now-former Senator Pedro Espada. Having succeeded in this campaign, the New Roosevelt Initiative closed.
Bill's ultimate goal is to create a truly great legislature that includes principled and capable leaders such as Teddy, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt were when they started their political careers in Albany. Through New Roosevelt we will make New York's State Legislature Best in the Nation.
The New Roosevelt Initiative was an independent expenditure campaign committee founded by activist Bill Samuels, dedicated to helping elect progressive, reform-minded state legislators who would help restore New York State's government and economy.
In the 2010 Primary Election, the New Roosevelt Initiative successfully campaigned against disgraced senator Pedro Espada, bringing a victory to the reform candidate Gustavo Rivera. In New Roosevelt Initiative's engagement we implemented surgically targeted field outreach including door to door work, grass-tops organizing, telephone outreach, mail, and other communication tools.
During this campaign we did not coordinate with Gustavo Rivera. Our determination of whom we supported was wholly based on publicly available information, such as web sites, media interviews, and past voting history (where available).
Following this successful campaign, the New Roosevelt Initiative was closed, and no longer exists.
On June 15th, 2013, Pedro Espada was sentenced to five years in prison for theft.
Our great Empire State, finds itself at a critical time. We are saddled with a government that is ineffective, plagued by corruption and scandal and lacking the visionary leadership that once defined our state. With the Empire State sliding into decline, major problems remain unaddressed, and people with the potential to become leaders avoid elected office in favor of more honorable professions.
It was not always thus. About 100 years ago, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his first campaign for the state senate, he entered an Albany that was led by an extraordinary collection of New Yorkers. The governor was the Republican Charles Evans Hughes, who became a U.S. Secretary of State and a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The legislature Roosevelt served in had future governor and presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith as head of the Assembly, and future U.S. Senator Robert F. Wagner leading the State Senate. It was perhaps the best collection of leaders the Empire State ever had.
The Albany of today however, has become a national laughingstock. With increasing frequency we read about corruption scandals, sex scandals and even violent criminal activity from the very individuals who are elected to represent us. Even legislators who come in with the highest standards of integrity and the best of intentions will unavoidably be drawn down into the mire of Albany's legislative dysfunction. The motivations of individual politicians doesn't matter now because the rules and laws which govern the lawmakers themselves are systemically flawed.
These are not new problems.
In 1860, William Tweed became head of Tammany Hall and in the same year, opened a private law office to collect fees from corporations doing business with the city. In 1868, when he became a State Senator, his law practice remained open and thrived with his new "business" contacts.
During the 1860s Tweed parlayed political influence into hard cash. Despite meager legal knowledge, he opened a law office to dispense "legal services" to such corporations as the Erie Railroad.
150 years later, little has changed. The leaders and many members of both Houses of the legislature have private law practices, taking on clients which the public has no right to know. Other members serve as "consultants" to entities with business before the legislature whose identities are similarly shielded. The Senate's former Majority Leader has already been convicted of stealing honest services from his constituents, and multiple investigations are examining the extracurricular activities of members of the current Senate leadership.
We need a new generation of legislators who will take the lead in ending these unscrupulous and embarrassing practices. Our State Legislature launched the political careers of both Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt, great reformers in Albany who went on to do great things for our nation.
The New Roosevelt Initiative served as a model, supporting those candidates for State Senate who had the independence, integrity and commitment to change our State legislature for the better. Focusing on the core reforms that are needed, candidates elected in part through these efforts are working to create a legislature that returns dignity to elective office and restores honor to public service.
We have revived the old New York Democratic Tiger to represent our new direction. The Tiger was originally the symbol of Engine Six, then a volunteer fire company in Lower Manhattan in the early 19th century. This company still exits, and was one of the first responders on 9/11 who lost four men on that terrible day. The Tiger is aggressive and demands respect. Our new Tiger will not be associated with the graft of yesterday. Since we have no tolerance for corruption, it will be a symbol for reform, a way of bringing the best practices of the past to help build our future.
The Tiger was the favorite animal of legendary Delaware Indian Chief Tamanend, for whom the Society of Tammany was named, when it was founded in the 1780's as a benevolent and charitable organization to provide extensive social services and support to its members.
"The tiger affords a useful lesson for you. The exceeding agility of this creature, the extraordinary quickness of his sight, and above all, his discriminating power in the dark, teach you… to look sharp to every engagement you enter into; and to let neither misty days, nor gloomy nights, make you lose sight of the worthy objects of your pursuit."

The 2-day positive run in the local bourse came to a halt on Thursday as the All Share Index (ASI) shed 10bps to close at 40,813.69 points while YTD return moderated to 6.7%. Resultantly, investors lost N13.6bn in value as market capitalization fell to N14.7tn. The bearish performance today was largely on the back of losses in market bellwethers - DANGCEM (-0.8%), UNILEVER (-3.5%) and ZENITH (-1.0%). Activity level softened as volume and value traded fell 44.1% and 41.4% to 205.3m units and N3.1bn respectively. The top traded stocks by volume in today's trading session were UBA (30.2m), ZENITH (28.1m) and GUARANTY (21.8m) while GUARANTY (N938.2m), ZENITH (727.9m) and UBA (328.4m) were the top traded stocks by value.
Consumer Goods Sector Emerges Lone Loser
Performance across sectors was broadly bullish despite the overall negative performance as 4 of 5 indices under our coverage closed in the green. The Insurance index was the top performer, inching 0.5% as gains in CONTINSURE (+5.0%), WAPIC (+1.9%) and PRESTIGE (+4.3%) buoyed performance. The Oil & Gas index followed closely, gaining 0.5% following upticks in 11PLC (+4.2%). Similarly, price appreciation in WAPCO (+0.8%) pushed the Industrial Goods index 0.1% northwards while the Banking index closed today's trading session 3bps higher consequent on bargain hunting in ETI (+4.8%), WEMA (+9.1%) and STERLING (+5.1%). On the flipside, the Consumer Goods index was the lone decliner, shedding 3bps due to profit taking in INTBREW (-0.7%) and UNILEVER (-3.5%).
Investor Sentiment Weakens
Investor sentiment measured by market breadth (advance/decline ratio) weakened from 1.4x recorded in the previous session to 0.9x as 20 stocks advanced against 23 stocks that declined. The top performing stocks were OANDO (+10.0%), WEMA (+9.1%) and SKYE (+8.8%) while COURTVILLE (-9.1%), JAPAULOIL (-7.0%) and HMARKINS (-6.1%) were the worst performing stocks. Despite the bearish performance in today's session, we expect bargain hunting to continue to drive positive market performance in the near term as attractive entry opportunities remain in the market.
