Past Life ReadingsI have been reading professionally since 1994 and work with people who are interested in the idea of reincarnation and karma, and who want to look at their past to gain more insight and clarity into their present life experiences. Many people have found that past life information is healing. By knowing the past life events that caused our emotions to be entrapped, we are then free to let those emotions go, and move forward in more loving harmony. The knowledge of the past life event, and the subsequent releasing of the emotion that follows, allows us to live more fully in the present. We also are not drawn to repeating the patterns of attracting unhealthy relationships that were based on the negative emotion we were holding on to.

DataVolley Statistics - Official Statistics
WICHITA, Kan. (June 7, 2013) – Argentina used tough serving and defense to defeat the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, 25-18, 25-21, 22-25, 26-24 in the first match of the 2013 FIVB World League for both teams on Friday at Charles Koch Arena.
The FIVB World League is the premier annual international men's volleyball tournament. The teams will meet again on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT to conclude their first Pool A weekend series. The U.S. is ranked fifth in the world by the FIVB, while Argentina is ranked ninth.
Argentina led the U.S. Men in kills (52-43) while the United States held the edge in blocks (13-11) and aces (6-5). However the U.S. Men were hurt by committing 30 team errors while Argentina had 26.
The United States was led by Tony Ciarelli's (Huntington Beach, Calif.) 11 points on nine kills, one block and one ace. Murphy Troy (St. Louis, Mo.) added nine points on nine attacks in two sets of play, while Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) tallied nine points on five kills and four blocks in starting the final two sets. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) contributed nine points on five kills and four blocks.
Argentina was led by Pablo Bengolea who scored 16 points on 15 attacks and one ace. Sebastian Solé chipped in 12 points on eight kills and four blocks. Argentina libero Alexis González was named the most valuable player of the match.
"Our passing wasn't very good," U.S. Captain Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) said. "That, in turn, makes our offense a little more difficult. It puts pressure on the setter to put up hittable balls for us… And they were consistent in their serves, which constantly put pressure on us to make a good pass."
The United States was credited with 16 digs, but also 16 digging errors. Argentina had 15 digs and 12 errors.
"Early in the match we didn't pass or set very well," U.S. Head Coach John Speraw (Irvine, Calif.) said. "I think that caused us a lot of problems, especially when we did have opportunities in transition.
"When I made some substitutions, I think things got better. Paul Lotman did a nice job passing. I think our passing improved."
Among other U.S. scorers, Anderson started the first two sets and scored seven points on five kills, one block and one ace. Carson Clark (Santa Barbara), who started the third and fourth sets at opposite, added seven points on six attacks and one ace. David Smith (Saugus, Calif.) totaled six points on three kills, one block and two aces.
Setter Kawika Shoji (Honolulu), who started the third and fourth sets after substituting in the second, scored four points on one kill, two blocks and one ace.
Shoji and setter Brian Thornton (San Clemente, Calif.), who started the match, combined to set the U.S. Men to a 39.1 kill percent.
Libero Erik Shoji (Honolulu) led the U.S. in digs with four. Ciarelli led the team in excellent receptions with 33. Erik Shoji added 15.
"I think this match highlights a lot of the weaknesses on our team right now and it gives us a lot to work on when we go back to the gym," Anderson said.
Speraw started Anderson and Ciarelli at outside hitter, Lee and Smith at middle blocker, Thornton at setter, Troy at opposite and Erik Shoji at libero. Lotman started the third set for Anderson. Kawika Shoji took over for Thornton during the second set and Clark started for Troy in the third set.
Argentina started strong, taking an 8-5 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) on three kills, two blocks and three U.S. errors. They expanded the lead to 16-12 at the second timeout, scoring the final point on a kill straight down by Bengolea. Coming out of the break, Argentina scored twice on a U.S. service error and block by Sole. Leading 19-15, Argentina scored two more straight points on a Bengolea kill and an ace from Bruno. The U.S. came back with a Troy kill and Ciarelli ace to pull to cut the lead to 21-17, but two straight U.S. errors put Argentina back ahead 23-17. Anderson scored with a block before Argentina scored the final two points on Pereyra's kill off the block and a U.S. hitting error.
The teams were tied 7-7 in the second set when a U.S. service error gave Argentina the 8-7 lead at the TTO. Argentina scored twice more on a tip and U.S. error to lead 11-7. Argentina led 16-12 at the second TTO. The South American side led by four at 20-16 when its next serve went out of bounds and Lee responded with a kill off an overpass. Leading 20-18, Argentina called timeout, but Lee came back with a block. An Argentina violation tied the score at 20-20. Bengolea answered with a kill. A U.S. error, another Bengolea kill and a block by Castellani gave Argentina set point. Troy scored with an attack before a U.S. service error ended the set. Argentina scored on 10 U.S. team errors while committing only four. The U.S. led in kills 12-10.
The teams were tied in the third set 6-6 when the United States got an ace from Smith and Argentina was called for a double contact to give the U.S. the 8-6 lead. The U.S. still led by two at 14-12 when it scored on two straight Argentina errors to go up 16-12 at the second TTO. Castellani connected on two straight attacks to bring the South American side back to 16-14. The U.S. increased its lead to four at 19-15 after a Smith ace and block by Lee, but Argentina came back with three straight points and Speraw called timeout. The teams battled back and forth until the U.S. reached set point at 24-22 and a block by Kawika Shoji gave the U.S. its first set victory of 2013.
With the United States leading 5-2 in the third, Sole scored on a kill for Argentina, then served the next four points as the South Americans grabbed a 7-5 lead and led 8-6 at the first TTO. A combination of Argentina attacks and U.S. mistakes helped the South Americans take a 15-9 lead. The U.S. fought back to pull to within two at 23-21 and Argentina called timeout. Pereyra responded with a kill to give Argentina match point. Lee came back with a quick kill and Shoji added and ace to pull the U.S. back to within one. Lee scored with a block to tie the score at 24-24. A Bengolea kill followed by Pereya's ace gave Argentina the victory.

Considering the precarious financial state of the second-ranked club company on our list this year, "fiscally fit" may not be the way some people would describe health clubs these days. However, the majority of clubs on Club Industry's annual Top 100 club list report increased revenue for 2006. For many of them, last year was a good year for continued growth and expansion.
Some of you may have issues with certain clubs making the list, but as we remind our readers every year, the listed clubs are not necessarily the best-run facilities in the industry or the facilities that serve their members best. These companies made the Top 100 list for one simple reason: revenue. Revenue is the most measurable factor by which to compare and rank companies. This kind of ranking offers people inside and outside the industry one measure of the fiscal fitness of the business.
The company that ranks above the rest this year is a familiar name. 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, once again tops the Top 100 list, reporting 2006 revenue of $1.21 billion. This compares to the $1.12 billion in 2005 revenue it reported last year. The increase came in a year in which the company installed a new CEO and grew its club numbers by more than 35, including clubs in Asia. In October, Mark Mastrov, founder of 24 Hour Fitness, moved from the CEO role to the chairman of the board position, and Carl C. Liebert III became CEO and a member of the board.
"We continue to see tremendous growth potential, both domestically and in Asia — and it is the right time to bring in an experienced leader who will help us continue to execute on our long-term business plan," Mastrov said at the time of the move. "Carl brings a wealth of experience in driving both new business growth and same-store sales at customer-focused, multi-store businesses."
On the domestic front, one of the more than 35 clubs that the company opened this year was 24 Hour Fitness Shaq Sport in Pembroke Pines, FL. This club was the second in a series of signature clubs opened by the company and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal since July 2004.
24 Hour Fitness continues its expansion, listing 14 states as home to at least one of its facilities. This year, the company expects a 12 percent growth in revenue as it moves into the competitive New York City market.
Despite its financial troubles, Bally Total Fitness, Chicago, still reported the second-highest revenue in the industry at $1.059 billion for 2006. This number is a 6 percent increase over 2005 revenue. The company has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange because it was trading for under $1, it delayed its 2006 financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission until late last month, and it announced it would be filing for Chapter 11 reorganizational bankruptcy pending approval by its noteholders. In the meantime, the company is seeking a new CEO after Barry Elson stepped down from that position earlier this year, and the company faces a threatened lawsuit from its second-largest stockholder. (Read more details about the Bally situation in our cover story for this issue.)
On the other end of the spectrum, one of the rising stars in the public arena for the fitness industry is Life Time Fitness, Eden Prairie, MN, which is third on the list for the third year in a row. The company's building spree gave Life Time 60 clubs at the end of 2006 and bumped its 2006 revenue to $512 million from $390 million in 2005. The company has come far since it went public in 2004. In the 2005 Top 100 list, which was the year Life Time's 2004 revenues were reported, the company was at $312 million and 41 clubs.
The most recent company to go public in the industry, Town Sports International (TSI), New York (which had its initial public offering in June 2006), remains in fourth place despite operating 149 clubs to Life Time's 60 clubs. TSI's 2006 revenue came in at $433 million in a year in which its former chairman and director, Mark Smith, resigned. TSI CEO Robert Giardina remains in that position, adding board director to his title. Chief Development Officer Alexander Alimanestianu became president of the company.
The company has continued its stronghold in the Northeast with a regional clustering strategy focusing on residential and commercial neighborhoods. The strategy is to surround members with clubs. TSI operates clubs under the Boston Sports Clubs, New York Sports Clubs, Philadelphia Sports Clubs and Washington Sports Clubs brands.
Club Corp., Dallas, jumped to fifth place this year due to an expansion of the type of clubs that the company included in its self-reported 2006 revenue on its Top 100 form. Last year, the company reported 2005 revenue from its fitness-only clubs. This year, the company reported 2006 revenue from its 20 fitness-only clubs and its golf and country clubs that include fitness facilities. The company was purchased late last year by KSL Capital Partners LLC, a private equity firm. At the time, the new owner announced $150 million in capital improvements for the clubs during the next two years.
Club Corp.'s jump bumped Wellbridge, Denver, to sixth place, a position it may have occupied regardless since its previous owners — an investment firm — sold the company's Minneapolis and Florida operations to Life Time Fitness prior to selling the remaining clubs to the company's management team. That team includes Ed Williams, CEO, who says that if the revenue from the clubs they had in 2006 was compared to the 2005 revenue from just those same clubs, the company would show a 10 percent revenue increase this year. He attributes that growth to membership sales and profit center growth such as personal training and a large children's component in the clubs. He says he's also seen an increase in tennis revenue.
Another noteworthy appearance on the list is Boston-based Millennium Partners Sports Club Management, which purchased six clubs from the Sports Club Co. late in 2005. Millennium ranks seventh at $102 million while The Sports Club Co., Los Angeles, drops from 15th place last year at $56.2 million to 18th place this year, despite increasing revenue at its four remaining clubs to $59 million in 2006.
Western Athletic Clubs, San Francisco, ranks eighth and stays constant at $97 million despite selling its Seattle clubs last year. Spectrum Athletic Clubs, Los Angeles, ranks ninth at $91 million. Sport & Health Clubs, Vienna, VA, drops to 10th place from eighth place last year despite posting a respectable $84.3 million in 2006 revenue.
Two other noteworthy moves on the list are those by Lifestyle Family Fitness, St. Petersburg, FL, and Peak Fitness, Charlotte, NC. Lifestyle Family Fitness increased its 2006 revenue by 50 percent, propelling it from 16th on the list last year at $55.3 million to 11th on the list this year at $80.8 million. Peak Fitness reported a 62 percent revenue increase from 2005 to 2006. This year, the club company ranks 37th on the list at $24.5 million, a huge jump from its 2006 ranking of 54th. The company was certainly helped by its purchase of 13 clubs and the opening of another seven clubs in 2006.
Despite the moves of these big players in the industry, a few big players are missing from this year's list. Probably the biggest missing companies are Gold's Gym International, LA Fitness and Equinox. The last two have been private about their numbers for years, never appearing on our list. However, Gold's Gym International, which moved its headquarters to Dallas last year, had appeared on our list until this year. We had estimated their numbers for the past two years but chose to remove them from the list this year rather than estimate again.
Our hope is that next year, the list of missing companies (see list on this page) will be much shorter as more club owners see the value of reporting their revenue as a way for companies inside and outside the industry to gauge the fiscal fitness of the health club business.
The Missing
The following clubs would likely qualify for the Top 100 list, but because they either have not responded to our requests for their revenue numbers or because they have requested not to be listed, they are not included on this year's list. However, they are still major players in our industry when it comes to revenue.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 11, master performing musicians, dancers and teachers will entertain guests with live performances, host interactive demonstrations and present festival goers with a deeper understanding and appreciation of dynamic performing arts traditions from around the world at Ellen Browning Scripps Park.
"The Center for World Music believed that the best way to celebrate its 50 years of fostering awareness and understanding of the world's performing arts traditions would be to present different traditions from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe every 15 to 30 minutes in Scripps Park during a daylong festival that would be free to the public," said John Gabriel, executive director of the Center for World Music.
To pay homage to the center's master teachers who teach hands-on instruction to thousands of San Diego's K-12 students each week, the outdoor format of the festival gives students an opportunity to see their teachers perform, as well as help educate the general public about musical traditions and creativity the world over.
"Scripps Park is a beautiful outdoor location — one that matches the exuberant outdoor performing arts traditions from around the world that will be featured at the festival," said Gabriel. "Festival goers will be encouraged to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the world's performing arts traditions by meeting with master artists who can demonstrate how to play unfamiliar musical instruments and teach traditional dances from around the globe."
Throughout the year, the Center for World Music presents the opportunity for K-12 students to take part in weekly, hands-on world music and dance instruction in schools throughout San Diego. The nonprofit also provides opportunities for the public to enjoy affordable, high-quality public concerts and free or inexpensive hands-on workshops to expand their cultural understanding of varied performing arts traditions.
"The essence of the Center for World Music consists of its cadre of native master musicians and dancers from around the world with whom the organization collaborates," said Gabriel.
And with many exciting things to look forward to in the future — like the center's recent receivership of a $50,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant and its impending establishment of the San Multicultural Coalition in conjunction with Mayor Bob Filner — the Center for World Music will undoubtedly continue implementing its unique and grand vision for another 50 years to come.
The 50th anniversary festival is free and open to the public between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.centerforworldmusic.org.

It's been over a month that some guy is posting fake items in the workshop and stealing player's items. It always come with a name like FREE SKINS and asks to post GIVEAWAY in comments, then use their websites. The scammer posts a fake workshop item just to get visitor.
How much longer do lazy valve developers need to stop this? If you need a phone number to play ranked, why not need it too for posting item? Why not wait for moderator's approval before releasing the workshop item? at least it will decrease the activity.

WASHINGTON – It's a lofty prediction that excites some fans and worries others it's jinxing the season. "Sports Illustrated" is picking the Nationals as the favorite for the World Series.
The Nats' official blog says the team is honored but says "considering the inaccuracy of such exercises, it's good to take any such honor with a grain of salt."
The big question for superstitious fans is, will this prediction be a cloud over the Nationals season? The so-called SI cover jinx has been widely feared by fans for years. The magazine does seem to have a history of naming teams or players to have a great season, only to see their performances falls flat.
The magazine even launched its own investigation into its jinxing powers in 2002.
The April issue calls Nationals' Stephen Strasburg "Mr. October" and depicts Washington's favorite pitcher throwing a fast ball through a pane of glass. Strasburg is one of six players chosen to grace the cover. Each region has a different cover boy.
Other players are David Price, Justin Verlander, C.C. Sabathia, James Shields and Clayton Kershaw.
"Sports Illustrated" writer Tom Verducci explains he chose the Nationals as the favorite in the World Series after looking at one of Manager Davey Johnson's former teams.
"Like the '86 Mets, the 2013 Nationals are the best team on paper at the start of the season. And like that championship team, Washington has young power pitching, a deep bullpen with multiple closers, a blend of power and speed, and an unmistakable swagger," Verducci writes in an excerpt in the article released by the magazine.
As baseball season rapidly approaches, the magazine's prediction is just the thing to get Nationals fans excited about the already hyped season. Now, there's even more to be excited about.
The issue features scouting reports with standings and playoff predictions.

Teacher Appreciation Day Pocket Tag Tutorial
First I marked and cut my cardstock (use cardstock, not construction paper, because you need the stiffness) for the overall size I needed for the unfolded tag. This took a bit of trial and error, but ultimately I made them 8 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches.
Next I marked my folds and folded the tag. The top part (where you see the circle) will be the top of the tag that goes over the bottle top. The other folded part will become the pocket of the tag. My original plan was to adhere the blue circles (made from cardstock) and then use a different decorative hole punch to punch through the circle...but my second punch couldn't be centered properly. So for a couple of bottles I used a blade and hand-cut a hole through the circle...then I realized I could abandon the blue circle and just use a scallopy punch and it would look even better!
At any rate, I modified my folds based on whether or not I used the blue circle. For the ones without the circle, both folds were at the two inch mark--these are my favorite tags. Remember, you're folding one end down and one end up. It will look like a zig-zag.
Here you can see my hand-cut hole for the bottle lid...I don't recommend this approach! The light blue rectangle is 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches and is the background for the drink mix that I put in the pocket of the tag.
This tag has just a scallop punch for the bottle top to go through--much better looking than my hand-cut circles! I used the pokey tool to poke holes for the star shape brads. It is one of my favorite scrapbooking tools! Usually I use brads as decoration, but these are holding the pocket together. Here you can also see the note I added to the front of the tag. I printed the note onto cardstock so that the paper would match the rest of the tag.
I took the original labels off the bottles, added my tag and some Crystal Light, and that was it! I made these during my son's naptime. We gave them out on Monday and they were a hit!

Clinicians urged to help patients improve diet, exercise and healthy behaviors
Ockene plays key role in new advisory from American Heart Association
|Judith K. Ockene, PhD, MEd, MA
In a bold call to action, the American Heart Association is urging health care providers to proactively address the behaviors associated with poor cardiovascular health.
Clinicians must play a larger role in helping patients to reduce unhealthy lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, poor diet and too little physical activity, in addition to treating high cholesterol and hypertension, according to the Oct. 7 advisory published online in the journal Circulation.
Judith K. Ockene, PhD, MEd, MA, the Barbara Helen Smith Chair in Preventive and Behavioral Medicine, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Preventive & Behavioral Medicine, played a key role in the advisory.Dr. Ockene is co-chair of the American Heart Association's Science Advisory Writing Committee.
"By responding to this call to action, we can improve the cardiovascular health of our nation," said Ockene.
Medical treatments for cardiovascular risk biomarkers and diseases have already helped clinicians play a major role in reducing heart disease, stroke and risk. The American Heart Association is now focusing on behavioral health in order to meet the new goals of improving the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
Success will be defined by seven measures of cardiovascular health: tobacco use, diet quality, physical activity level, body mass index, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and fasting blood glucose—all of which can be improved with positive lifestyle changes.
"Healthy lifestyle behaviors are required for healthy individuals and healthy communities. This can come about by implementing strategies with both individual patients and entire communities," Ockene said.
With costs related to cardiovascular disease projected to triple from their 2010 level by 2030, the call to action is driven by economics as well as altruism.
"To avoid bankrupting the health care system, we must improve the distribution of cardiovascular health levels across the population by preserving cardiovascular health from childhood and by treating health risk behaviors to help more individuals improve their cardiovascular health into older ages," wrote Ockene and co-authors.

Donald Trump doesn't like "birthers." He calls the word "unfair" to people who don't believe President Obama was born in the USA.
Memo to the morons: It doesn't work, folks. Nobody is Adidas Neo Daily Clean
This, even though, if there were the slightest chance he was ineligible for the presidency, opposition researchers working for his opponents would have shredded him like an old bank statement.
But this ongoing birther garbage, like the ongoing controversy about his supposed secret Muslim identity is not about criticism. It is not about what he has done but, rather, what he is.
This, even though his Aug. 4, 1961, birth was noted by contemporaneous (memo to the morons: that means it happened at the time) birth announcements in not one, but two Hawaii newspapers. What'd he do? Jump in a time machine, zip back to the '60s and plant the notices?
Frankly, I wish Trump and his fellow birthers would just go ahead and call Obama an N word. 2011 The Miami Herald Distributed by Tribune Media Services, Inc.
Criticize him to your heart's content. Give him hell over Libya. Blast him about Guantanamo. Knock him silly on health care reform. He is the president; taking abuse is part of his job description.
It lowers the level of discourse, it forestalls thoughtful response and it does Adidas Stan Smith Primeknit Gray
Birther idiots show their true color
Like "state's rights," these controversies are a code, a dog whistle for those with ears to hear. They provide euphemistic cover for those who want to express alarm over the raw newness of him, the sweeping demographic changes he represents ("He's black! Oh, my God, they've got the presidency now!") without appearing uncouth enough to do so.
not suggest an excess of class. Where the birthers are concerned, however, the level of discourse is already lower than Neptune's basement, a thoughtful response is about as likely as Miami snow on the Fourth of July, and I will just have to chance the loss of class.
This, even though Obama provided his birth certificate and its authenticity has repeatedly Adidas Neo For Women
been vouched for by Hawaiian officials.
fooled. You are about as subtle as Lady Gaga.
As mama used to say, enough is Adidas Nations Los Angeles 2018 enough and too much stinks.
And, with apologies to the late James Brown, please, please, please, anyone who is so inclined: spare me the e mails where you soliloquize like Hamlet, the back of your hand pressed to your forehead, eyes turned heavenward, as you moan how it is impossible to criticize this president without being accused of racism.
Let the church say amen. So it is time to call this birther nonsense what it is not just claptrap, but profoundly racist claptrap.
It is telling that the white candidate who was, in fact, not born in the USA (Sen. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, if anyone is interested) did not face these questions, while the black one who was born in Hawaii has been unable to escape them.
A 2010 CBS News/New York Times poll found that 20 percent of all Americans and 30 percent of tea partiers believe the president was not born here. In recent days, Trump, the reality show impresario and human punch line who's been threatening to run for president, has added himself to their number. For that, he drew a sharp rebuke from Whoopi Goldberg on "The View." When, she demanded, has any white president ever been asked to show his birth certificate?
Very well, then. If not birthers, how about if we call them "morons"? How about "jack s," "imbeciles," "idiots" or "doofuses?" How about "pinheads" or would that require a royalty to Bill O'Reilly?

Baseball on TV by Vin Scully
For those who saw yesterday's game from Vegas, it was Vin's first game of the spring and from what I understand, he's in midseason form. I guess 62 years of calling games will do that to a man!
It's the perfect time to share this column, which he recently wrote for an MLB publication that just came out.
Baseball on Television
By Vin Scully
Technology may have changed the quality of television screens and the viewing experience for baseball fans watching at home, but there are a few basic elements still relevant for a broadcaster sitting behind a microphone.
Calling a game on radio is similar to an artist walking into a studio with a blank canvas, a lot of paint and a lot of brushes. You begin to paint the picture, the total picture. You begin to shade a little here and go a little heavy there, and when you're finished, you put your hands together and say 'That's the best I can do.'
With television, the picture is already there. So the first thing, interestingly enough for me, is the audio. It's a director's medium, so what we do is follow the director. But the crowd is so important, whether you see them hollering or screaming in joy, or praying and doing everything imaginable. And it's the same with players, not that they pray or anything like that. But you can see the various looks.
So where radio is the picture and presented by the announcer, television is the picture that is provided by the director. To me, silence on television is more important certain moments than anything I could say. So if you're home and watching the game and there is a dramatic moment, it's in the hands of the director. And the wise announcer kind of lays back and lets the director take the close-up of the pitcher or the hitter or the runner base or someone praying in the stands. That's all part of the enjoyment of the game, besides the actual play itself.
One of the temptations we have today is like the song of the Lorelei, wrecking you on the rocks. So much is provided to you with statistics and information that you run the risk of looking down when a play is taking place. So you really have to be careful about that. Every game has somewhat of a story, an individual or maybe both of the pitchers. Someone is doing something that adds to the story. And then, of course, you can't go overly dramatic in fourth game of the season with 158 games to go. But everything seems to fall into place in terms of the schedule, the game, where you are, the history of the teams. And they can get dull. Let's face it – there are some games when nothing happens. And then it's up to you to come up with a story or a historical aticidote to add a little spice to the telecast.
Even today, the sound of the crowd means everything to me. When I was a kid, I used to crawl under the radio and I'd listen to college football games. That's about all we had in those days. I'd have the speaker above my head and when the crowd would roar, I've said it a trillion times – it was like water flowing out of a shower head. It would pour down over me. And I would get goose bumps and be thrilled by the roar of the crowd. To this day, I still get goose bumps when that crowd lets out some emotional roar. To me, without the crowd, it would be like going to a movie without the music in the background. It would be deadly.

Love Vinny!
Thank you Vin Scully. You are the best. I still remember as a kid waiting for the 1st Spring training game with the awesome Vero Beach back drop every year to hear your voice inaugurate another season.
I hope you stick around long enough for Frank to sell the team.
The man's every bit the artist as Michaelangelo or Monet.
Ned's Fred Sanford.
Without the personality.
Great blog by the smartest man in baseball. I can't think of another sportscaster who treats his listeners (or readers) with such respect and never dumbs anything down. We're happy to have you as long as you care to stay.
I love Vin as much as any Dodger fan out there, the man is truly an icon and a gem. He's everything or should I say the only thing left of the class and dignity that used to be the Dodger organization. How sad. Now the only thing I can look forward to this season is listening to Vin. Sell the team , McCourt scum.
Thank you for all the joy that you have provided me and my family for all the years that you have been in LA! I grew up listening to you as my Mom was an avid Dodger fan, she never missed a game whether in person, on tv or on the radio. Bless you Vin!
You have been a constant in my life for over fifty years. It started with the transistor radio and has continued to today. Your love of the game, the Dodgers and the connection the fans have for you has transcended from one generation to the next. You embody the essence of one who truly loves what he does. Thanks for the memories and for the ones to come.
I love Vin & I love the Dodgers but this is really going to be a tough year. Sorry to be a glass half empty guy. I've been a glass half full guy but not now. I'm sorry if anyone is annoyed by my posts or comments but I just post my feelings.
I noticed in today's lineup of the 9 position players that were starting 5 were hitting .200 or below so far this spring. By the way no pitchers are included there…
I saw with 1 out a tough hop ground ball to 3rd that was missed for a 2base "hit". The next ball was hit to Velez who "caught" it with his chest and then made a poor throw to 1st where it wasn't caught. Next batter is Hamilton who goes yard with a 3 run bomb.
One the news front — 3 vets are ailing – 1 left camp to get his eyes examined – 1 has tightness & 1 they don't know if his ribs or back (Again I scream for Conte to be fired – he doesn't seem to be able to diagnose an injury).
So with the poor overall play and bad news I'm seeing the glass as half empty…
Oh I forgot to add that after leading off with a double Gimenez he was doubled off 2nd on a little flare pop out to the second basemann. So let's throw poor baserunning into the mix which has been going on all spring.
They look as bad fundamentals wise as a team in my softball league. & one of the bad teams.
I just read Vin's entry above and wow. He really knows his craft and continues to impress all these years later. One of the things I enjoy about Vin is he knows what is important with the game of baseball – the fans, players and the game itself. He doesn't have to have some HR call to make a special moment special. He just let's the moment do it's own "talking". Thanks Vin for all that you've meant to me and the Dodgers & all of us fans. You truly have class and are an artist.
Vin came into my life in 1975 when I was 9 years old, had a transistor radio, and stumbled across him calling a game against the Mets who had Tom Seaver pitching for them. I remember not being able to turn it away from the game, and could not believe that at the end of the broadcast the last thing he said was "hope you can join us tomorrow at the same time for game 2 of this 3 game series on the Dodgers radio network". I was hooked and have been ever since. Vin, you will never know what joy you have brought to my life, and I could never in words express my gratitude. I will continue to savor every word that you say during the broadcast of games as long as you continue to want to do it. Southern Cal is the greatest place to live, and you are one of the reasons why. Thank you!
Thank you Vin Scully!!! You are always a bright spot even when the Dodger fortunes are bleak!!! I'm with you Collie!!! I like to be optimistic and stay upbeat, but, sometimes you need to take off the rose colored glasses and call a t*rd a t*rd!!!! The same half full people will be preaching the "its early/not that bad yet" crap in July and August. Kidding themselves!!! Then they disappear entirely in September only to reappear with sunshine, lollipops, and rainbow thoughts in March. Geez!!!
I was going to start a pessimist's club, but I was sure no one would join.
The glass will never be half full or better as long as the McCourts keep slurping from it to support their extravagant lifestyle!!!! We've been conned!!! Please force a sale of this team MLB!!!!!
Hi'Ya Beav!!!! LOL!!!!
Hey Wally!!
Other than Kersh, I just can't see a bright spot to any of this year's club. Look at all of Ned's old farts breaking down now. What a surprise. Just need to stamp a big "L" on his forehead. Most incompetant GM of any sport I've ever seen.
We all love Vin; we all love Tommy. They are part of the best we remember of the Dodgers. When we read the story above we get that fuzzy warm feeling. What is disgusting is how the current front office likes to lead with stories like that, as if to say, "Hey, we're all the Dodger family – Frank, Ned and everybody working for today's Dodgers". It's a neat diversion, my friends. There's nothing I can think of that Vin, or Tommy have in common with Frank and Ned. PERIOD.
How can Ned bring in people like Velez, Kapler, and Gimenez, plus too many other forgetables, and expect the fans to buy into this Spring Training charade. I got to admit that Donnie Boy is doing his best to strectch things out and give everybody a playing chance, as if to show like it's some real decision to be made here. Well, when you have the ingredients provided by Ned, it doesn't matter how much and how long you mix that crap, it will still smell and play like crap in the end. That's what I see in this Spring Training.
What is even more disconcerting is that our payroll of over $100 million should be adequate to field a decent team, especially since we still have a bunch of guys not getting paid very much. Of course, we're paying for some crap long departed. Then add a million or two each for this year's select stiffs, and you're paying out the big dollars collectively for Ned's continuing and perpetual incompetence. This franchise needs to be sold NOW, and Ned needs to be GONE even sooner.
I pity Vin having to finish his career with the team we're looking to field this season, and even more so for having to associate with shietts like Frank, Ned, and company.
This team and the McCourt ownership remind me of being a kid and my bicycle tires. I'd get a flat and couldn't afford to get a new inner tube. Just kept slapping on patches. After a couple of years, I was just patching the patches!!!!!
Well said Bear.
Amen Bear!!! If it looks like crap, and smells like crap, its probably crap!!!! I just wish they would not try to put some perfume/spin on it and tell us it isn't crap!!!!
I guess a hundred mil doesn't buy what it used to.
Maybe that's what we should nickname Ned – Patches. Hey Patches, did you get us Crawford for the outfield? Pfffft. Pffft. Pffft. No, but I got you Gwynn, Gibbons and Thames. Hey Patches, did you get us Cliff Lee? Pfffft. Pfffft. Pfffft. No, but I got you Lilly, Padilla, Garland, Kuroda and Guerrier. Hey Patches, did you get us a catcher? Pfffft. Pfffft. BOOOMMM!!!
I think it's a great idea, Enchanted. Patches, he is!!!!!
LMAO!!!! Blowout after blowout!!! It got to the point that I was fixing the bike more than riding it!!!!
Wally – if you're comment wasn't a perfect description of this year's club, I don't know what is.
Oh well, another loss today. I guess it is still too early to get worried about it. Should see the first wave of cuts this week. I hate to see players get injured, but, our injuries could actually force the Dodgers to go in the right direction despite themselves!!!! Of course Ned will find a way to screw it up!!!!!
I'm living for the day that the boot lickin', boot wearin', mustachioed sycophant with no baseball acumen is gone!!!!!!
HaHa, now that is glass half full!!!!
Of course, we could have had Ng as our GM. Glass half empty!!!!!!
I guess I need a WWVSS bracelet these days!!! "What would Vin Scully Say". Nice Dodger Blue with White lettering.
Hello Everybody.
It's amazing, many people have come and gone in my life, many things also. My parents, most of my relatives, my wife, my friends. Nothing seems to be with me longer that Vin Scully and the Dodgers. The Dodgers have changed too, but they're still there. I'm very happy to continue to hear Vin's voice, after all these years.
"I hate to see players get injured, but, our injuries could actually force the Dodgers to go in the right direction despite themselves!!!!"
That's the glass half full spirit Wally!!
Yes, hearing Vin's voice means it is time for baseball. I am so thankful he is still with the Dodgers. They need him more than ever right now.
I am with Jhall on the injuries thing. It's those types of injuries that gave Andre his real shot to prove he should be Everyday Dre', and it just might be these injuries that give some other young guys a real shot. I was talking to enchanted this morning, and I don't look at what some fans are saying as negative. It's more of a realist point of view. Realistically, our team doesn't look that good right now. Yes, it's spring training, but at the same time, other than Kershaw, our pitchers are getting pounded. I am of the mindset that anything is possible and nothing is impossible.
Just look at the gnats. A year ago, they certainly weren't in the talks of a WS contender. Now, they are packing their spring training venues each day they play. It's what winning a World Series does, but as long as Frank and Ned are in charge, I honestly don't see that happening. They don't care about brining in or raising a championship team. I love this team, but I also have a realistic view of what I am expecting too. For the players sake, I am okay with that because it's really not their fault, and I will support the players all that I can. Most are getting paid a pretty good fortune to do something they truly love to do. Frank and Ned put this team together, and maybe, just maybe, the team can figure it out despite the despicable owner and GM we have. How's that for half full? :)))
BTW – Love Vinny too!!!
Don't worry fellow Dodger fans, this team will be in the race all year. That is the race to stay out of last place with Zona. I wonder if a manager can get fired in spring training? Donnie 2 trips is already having his team in mid season form. What a sad state of affairs this team has become because of total mis management and ownership. I actually miss the Fox years.
Very well said, Nellyjune. I agree with you 100%.
Thanks 🙂
An update on Gibbons and his vision (eyes that is)….
Good grief! Why didn't he have it taken care of a long time ago?
62 years is truely amazing! I am 45 and even know there have been some lean years… without access, everytime I hear Vin describe a ballgame, I know I am home. After 62 years surely, there's are an abundance of people, who feel the same way. Thank You, Mr. Scully!
Red Pen – there are
I went to Arizona over the weekend. We went early Saturday and went to see the Dodgers practice at Camelback Ranch, then it was decision time since there was a split squad games in Scottsdale and Surprise. Surprise we chose as we did not want to see Jint fans at Scottsdale. Yep, that was a horrible game at Surprise where Dodgers lost 19-7. On top of it, I got hit by a Wilson Betemit foul ball so I am sporting a big bruise on my left arm. Good thing he is a light hitter.
We headed to LAs Vegas afterwards to see the Dodgers play against the Cubs. The highlight of that game was greeting Vin Scully! It was from the lower level but he heard me when I yelled "Vin Scully! We Love you!" He got up, aplauded. I showed him my Vin Scully shirt and he gave me the A OK sign (the front of my picture is Vin's pic with the words around "Is Time for Dodger Baseball" The lady sitting next to Vin asked me to turn around (the back of the t-shirt says "Scully" with a mike in the middle.) Vin again made the A OK sign.
Many running blunders. Davey Lopes did not make the trip but I can imagine he heard all about it. It was a good game with De La Rosa & Zambrano starting. We lost in extra inning by one run.
I don't think Gimenez should be on that list when he actually having a good spring but I think Gimenez should be replaced by Navarro with Velez and Kapler.
Yep I guess this is somehow Conte fault on Gibbons.
Instead of hearing the heart-warming stories abou Vin, Josh should let us know what Frank thinks about the Dodgers' Spring Training so far this year. Then we would have something to comment on, and no, I don't really care what Ned says about it – Ned will say whatever he thinks Frank wants to hear. How else do you think that Ned got his contract extension?
And yes, Gimenez is actually having a good Spring, and I did earlier list Navarro in the "get rid off" category. Unfortunately Navarro is probably designated to make the squad and Gimenez is not, so this is just part of Frank and Ned's charade. I'm not even sure how much of the final decision belongs to Donnie Boy. With this team it's the big Asssholes who are in charge.
I just don't get it and what the point having ST when you know you can hit bad and still make the team regardless? I'm all in on given Gimenez a chance and he's just 28 years old but 2 yrs older than Navarro but with our bad management they won't do it.
In Velez case I don't want to see him no more. That guy is just an error machine and his arm is ala Juan Pierre 2 lol.
Thames look like another guy that had good numbers last year and was mashing against LHP and in ST and I don't know what the deal is but I know Paul should get a chance regardless.
Thames was a nice surprise for the Yankees last season, battering left-handed pitching to the tune of a .302 average, mostly out of a designated hitter role. Overall, he hit .288 with 12 homers and 33 RBIs, while slugging .491 in 212 at-bats. Expect him to provide power as a bench bat for the Dodgers this season
I think that Gibbons will also make the team, although they may find a way to put him on the DL with the eye problem. Unfortunately he just may be damaged goods. I understand that some years ago he had lazer surgery on his eyes. While that has been judged reliable on a larger scale, you do hear of a lot of cases that simply went bad, and when it does it's not correctible as far as I know. I feel sorry for Gibbons, because he's tried hard in his comeback, but I don't see off the Spring Training outings how he's going to contribute anything. Let's just alternate Gwynn (as long as he keeps hitting half way decently) with Thames, and we probably get a much improved defense.
It's kind of ironic in a way. We have a team in Spring Training with people who can't catch the ball, people who can't throw the ball, people who can't run the bases, and now people who can't even see the ball. NED'S TEAM!!!
Those batter average are insane especially Blake (2/13 but he's a lock), Furcal (5/25 a lock), Navarro (4/20 probably a lock), Carroll (4/21 another lock poor Miles), Uribe (4/19 a lock), Velez (1/20 I'm glad that he probably have no chance now). Hoffman and Sands are killing it but have no chance poor guys.
Did we really get a steal getting Hawksworth? I guess he would take Belisario spot for the time being. He had a tough year last year with injuries but he was good in his rookie season back in 2009 and probably could be a big surprise for us. I still don't like that Guerrier signing (not for 3 years and with his age either) even it turned out good for us but I'd rather stick with Schlichting despite him not having a good spring.
So how many AB's should we give Thames or Kapler if one of those 2 make the team to be in the Sweeney and Anderson batting average range lol?
No one with a shot at making the team is capable of being anywhere near as bad as Sweeney or Anderson.
I want to see Sands in the majors as soon as possible.
I think that Fatty Uribe has a real good shot at making it into the Sweeney/ Anderson category.
I was being to nice with Uribe.
Why is that worthless SOB Velez even still around. You'd think that DeJesus could use an extra few at bats to determine his situation. There should be no doubt about Velez at this point, unless maybe Ned is his illegitimate daddy.
Seeing the way Ned works, it wouldn't shock me if Velez made the team. After all he is worthless and an ex Gnat.
You are all right….Velez is a useless piece of crap.
Well, I for one am glad that the REAL season will be starting soon. I can?t wait to see the games that count. And Vinny, I missed you when you were in Vegas, but I can?t wait to here you call THE REAL GAMES!!! And yes, I?m taking after my mom; I have my own Dodger bag, blank scorebook, and erasable pens, just waiting for Opening Day!!!
Hey CP!!! How are you doing? It is soooo good to read your name on here. I can't wait for the real season to start as well.
My Nellygirl!
Yeah, I know; it?s been a LONG LONG TIME!!! I still read (on occasion) and I don?t want to belabor the point, but it?s getting difficult to read. I just posted on Emma?s a little bit ago. She turned her blog over to her friend Erik who parodied a song for our Andre! So when I listed/sang his parody to Andre, I had to come back with my little Andre ditty I did years ago. You should take a look if you want to go back in time (oh, some 3 years ago!)
Anyways, things are going well. Guess what!?! CP Bookkeeping FINALLY his it?s first client! I started the first of the year. He?s an electrical contractor that got one of my early marketing letters. He held onto it until he called me shortly after the first of the year, we had an interview and came to a mutual arrangement! Nice to have a regularly paying customer! I still am looking for jobs, but kinda half-heartedly. I REALLY want to work to get my business off the floor.
So how are you? How?s the family? Are the lovebirds still lovebirds? And even if they are gnat fans, how are your husband and son?
I?m sorry Nelly, but I?ve gotta go. I didn?t pay attention to the time. Go ahead and answer; I?ll read your response later and I?ll try to come back to post tomorrow night?
THAT is fantastic about your business!!!! Once the season gets started, we are all the same true blue fans, just with different insight and perspective, and we love reading yours.
To answer your questions…….. I am doing great!! I have a great class this year, and they are a very sports-minded class so it really is a fun year so far. However, as a profession, it's just becoming harder and harder with all the budget cuts watching alot of colleagues lose their jobs year after year, and if things don't get better, it's only a matter of time before it reaches my level of service.
The family is doing great as well. We are expanding our business (Valley Sports Academy) to include actual baseball fields. We have acquired the fields on the old Castle Air Force Base, and we are in the process of getting the fields ready for use because they have been negleted for so long. So far it's just been hard work on the guys who are part of the team getting the work done and knowing people who can help with the rest, including our very own enchantedsunset. He's been helping us with signage and new business cards (getting the word out that we are there). I say "we" like I am actually involved in any of this so far – lol!!!
Hubby is doing okay – a few health scares, but he is all good now. Michael is doing great. He just started his senior year season for his high school team. Last night he pitched a complete game shut out (5-0) with 9 K's, a 1B, one BB and one HBP. Last Wednesday, he had 14 K's, but they ended up losing that game by one run. So, his season is starting out pretty good (head game included). He is just trying to figure out what to do next year (JC or 4-year for baseball). The love birds are still love birds. It's over two years now, and if you ask them they can tell you to the day I am sure.
I am so excited for your new business!!! You mentioned the scorebook and Dodger bag. I am more of a notebook keeper. I keep track of all their stats and stuff in it. I might keep a scorebook this year. I have two Dodger bags. One I keep all of our baseball snack food in for when we are at Michael's games. That one is just an LA one that is Dodger blue and white. I have to represent blue at the games somehow. His school colors are orange and black. Too much gnat color for me. Then my mom got me another bag that looks just like Andre's jersey but made with durable material. So, I use that one for my school stuff, but I keep my Dodger Blue notebook inside as well.
Okay, I think I have said enough. That's what happens when you are not around CP. My mom and I are coming to Andre's Bobblehead night for sure so maybe we can see each other than. However, that's a long ways off so don't be a stranger around here. Love ya!!
Fine way of describing, and good article to obtain facts concerning my presentation subject matter,
which i am going to deliver in academy.
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My site covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could
greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to
shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
Awesome blog by the way!
I'm not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up!
I'll ggo ahea and bookmark your website to come back latesr on. All
the best

Using Laughter
As far back as I can remember – laughter has always been a part of my life. Even today while relaying a very funny story to my husband as we were traveling to an appointment out of town – I was reminded that humor plays such an important role in relationships. Without it, our relationship over the years would have been much too serious, too dry and stale – as humor seems to work like a balm of soothing medicine – breaking down misunderstandings and helping us from becoming too inwardly focused.
I'm sitting in a crowded Starbucks this morning while writing this. I forgot my earphones which turns out to be a rather fatal flaw in my attempts to fully concentrate – as I am sitting rather close to another table where two young men are talking really loudly about scripture, the bible and what they are learning about both. Normally it would be a curious thing for me to observe and silently witness those around me as I am a captive audience in a small room with many people – even humorous if you will – but today as I try to write it does not seem very humorous. In fact – the more intent I am about keeping to myself – the more they seem to talk even louder – as if, somehow – they are trying to witness to me and everyone around us. Funny. I'm afraid to raise my head up from my keyboard – even though it would be amusing to stop, and look right at them and say, "You needn't try so hard – it's okay – I'm already in"
Life has so many of the humorous "moments". Laughter breaks any tension in a room – between people and removes awkwardness in a second. My students are so funny and I have spent much time over the years in my music studio just laughing. Yesterday one of my teenage male students was there with his guitar practicing with me for an upcoming recital in a couple of weeks. He was telling me a funny story about his brother and I'm still giggling about it today!
Another side note – I have a portable case and keyboard for my iPad 2 that I am typing from. It is wireless and for the most part works. However, once in a while I will strike a key and I get it repeatingggggggggggggg like this. So frustrating – not sure what I'm doing wrong for it to have that function and it takes SO MUCH TIME to go back and keep correcting! Once the repeating letter seemed to have a mind of it's own and went for 6 lines before stopping!! Yikes. Not a good feature. But you've got to admit – it's funny.
Well that is my blog article today. Between the distractions of the two young men trying "get me saved" and my portable wireless keyboard – that's all I'm good for today. Both these things will make a great story to tell Greg later – can't wait 🙂
God Bless

Jesus could have remained at one place in Galilee for a long time, if the only factor was the desire of the people to keep him there (Luke 4:42). But that wasn't the only factor. He had to take the gospel to the other towns of Galilee and Judea because he came into this world to seek and to save the lost (Luke 4:43; 19:10).
Paul was forbidden by God to take the gospel to certain places at certain times (Acts 16:6–7; cf. 19:10), yet he stayed to preach in other places for various lengths of time (Thessalonica for three SabbathsActs 17:2; Corinth for one and a half yearsActs 18:11; Ephesus for two yearsActs 19:10). Finally he concluded that he no longer had any room for work in the regions where he had been (Rom. 15:23). This in turn inspired in him the desire to take the gospel to Spain with the help of the church in Rome (Rom. 15:24).
Coldness to the gospel (Luke 10:10–11) and persecution (Acts 8:1) weren't the only reasons for taking the gospel to other places. Jesus' disciples were commanded to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). They were told that they would be his witnesses "to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
Because of that calling, the New Fields Subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Missions reviews and evaluates the many requests that come to the Committee to take the gospel, our Reformed faith, and Presbyterianism to other nations. On a few occasions, these requests have so obviously paired our resources and gifts with the needs of those requesting our help that the Committee has rejoiced to be able to respond positively.
Recently, after considering several opportunities to open a new field in a Spanish-speaking nation, the Committee decided to open Uruguay as an exploratory field. Apparently, there has never been a Reformed or Presbyterian denomination in Uruguay. Our plan is to work with a church located on the border between Uruguay and Brazil that is passionate about evangelism. In addition to one organized congregation, there are two preaching stations nearby in Brazil and four more in Uruguay, with plans for additional preaching stations.
As this article goes to press, the presbytery of one possible candidate has not yet met to consider his call to Uruguay, and therefore we will not name him here, but we hope that the Lord will provide two men to go to this field by the end of 2008.
