Friedman and Brooks Still Have No Clue Who Barack Obama Really Is
June 22, 2011
RUSH: Two of our most favorite wizards of smart are in the news, Thomas L. Friedman, the columnist of the New York Times, and David Brooks, wizard of smart conservative columnist at the New York Times as well. They both appeared with PBS wizard of smart, Charlie Rose. One of the smartest shows on TV. It's where you can hear people actually say, "We don't know who this guy is," meaning Obama, yeah, "We don't know what books he's read." That's the place to go to find the really smart people. And they're talking about how they're disappointed here in the Bamster, thought he was gonna be more of a leader, the sharp crease in his slacks, told Brooks that the guy was eminently qualified to be president and he's tough minded, no nonsense, had all the answers. It hasn't worked out that well and that way.
So here's Charlie Rose, and he says first to Thomas L. Friedman, the New York Times, "The idea of Obama leadership, has he not acted boldly where we might have wanted him to act?" So picture this. Charlie Rose, you got two wizards of smart, Friedman and Brooks, and they're wringing their hands now because Obama was the answer, one of them, intellectual, well spoken, articulate, nuanced, serious, all of these adjectives. But where's the boldness? Where's the leadership? And Charlie Rose wants some guidance. He wants some insurance here. He wants to be told that everything's okay. So he turns to a fellow wizard of smart, Thomas L. Friedman, the New York Times, and says, "Thomas, has the president not acted boldly where we might have wanted him to act?"
FRIEDMAN: I voted for Obama for one reason, because I thought he could change the polls and not read the polls. My biggest disappointment is I really see a guy reading the polls as closely as ever. Those two words, climate change, became a four letter word in American politics under Barack Obama's watch. It's against the law in the Republican party. Romney was just so courageous, he actually said he believes in science. Oh my God! And Rush Limbaugh said "You're out of the party, pal." Okay. That goes as courage.
RUSH: See, and these are the smart people, and there isn't any science in the global warming these people believe in. Folks, if there were science, I'd be a believer. I do not have my head buried in the sand. I'm not an ostrich. I live in Realville. I'm the mayor. I'm the town council president. I'm the police chief. There aren't a whole lot of people that live in Literalville, but I do. And manmade global warming is not science. It's a consensus. It's a guess. It's a good guess. It's a best guess. It's a vote. And a majority of people have been paid to say that man is causing the climate to warm up. And that's why there's global warming, that enough people have been paid to say so. "You can't say that, Mr. Limbaugh, you are attacking the integrity of decent --" well, they've been paid. Their entire lifestyles, their standard of living depends on their grants that they get to conduct the studies, and they only get the money if they come up with the right result.
So enough people have banded together, come up with a consensus, man is causing the climate to warm, bingo, you got science. Except there isn't science. You have a political agenda being advanced by people calling themselves scientists and in fact may even work at places where scientific discovery takes place. But, you see, here's Thomas L. Friedman, smartest man in the world, why, if he thinks there's global warming, it must be, right?
It's like in the movie Wag the Dog, if television shows you a war in Albania, but there isn't one, who's to say there really isn't a war? "I saw it on TV. I saw people. I saw a woman running for shelter. They told me that it was in Albania, she's running for her life." "Spy satellites don't show any war." "Well, okay. How do you know? My TV says there's a war there. I got pictures that show polar bears barely surviving on little three-square-foot plots of ice. There's gotta be global warming."
Thomas L. Friedman is the dupe. I don't know if he's been duped or if he's part of the group that's duping everybody else. I don't know if he's being paid for his opinion on global warming, but most of the scientists who advocate it are. Believe me, folks, my integrity's intact. If there were scientific proof, undeniable, thus making it science, that man was causing the climate to warm, I'd be the biggest proponent. I would be the one the one ringing the bells. Actually, I wouldn't because I'd also understand there's nothing we can do to fix it because we didn't cause it. This is really just common sense.
Anyway, you see here, Thomas Friedman, his big disappointment is "I thought Obama could change the polls, not read them. My biggest disappointment is I see a guy reading the polls as closely as ever. These two words 'climate change' became a four-letter word in American politics under Obama." Well, Mr. Friedman, work continues unbated on the whole concept of manmade global warming. The EPA is gonna implement cap and trade for all intents and purposes. You're getting what you want. The American people don't believe it, the American people aren't buying into it so they're having to be defrauded, but what do you care? And then Charlie Rose says, "Now Romney suggested that he thought man contributed to global warming."
FRIEDMAN: What is so disturbing is that, is that we don't -- we're not having an adult conversation about, you know, what are the real problems. So my frustration with Obama really flows from that. I mean Rorschach test, we all go around the table, Barack Obama, what comes to mind right now in the middle of this crisis? I have to tell you, it's a blank sheet of paper for me. I have no real strong sense of how he defines the problems, where he wants to go, what his bottom line is.
RUSH: Now, all credit is due Mr. Friedman here for finally admitting this, but I would say when did you know otherwise? Hasn't Obama always been this blank piece of paper? Obama was always a Rorschach test. Obama was always an empty canvas. It's just back in the campaign years of 2007, 2008 you guys got all caught up in your dreams and your fantasies and your utopias. You figured this guy was one of you, a fellow intellectual, so he had to be brilliant and he had to have all the answers and he was gonna fix everything and he was gonna put you in charge of it when he was finished. Wouldn't it have made much more sense, Mr. Friedman, if you had had the view of him then that you have of him now? 'Cause he really hasn't changed.
All that's changed is your perception. All that's happened here is that Obama has not turned out to be the person you hoped he was, but you never knew, because on this very show, Charlie Rose, we've got the tape, we could go back and play it if you want to, Brokaw and Charlie Rose themselves said, (imitating Brokaw and Rose) "I don't know anything about Obama. I don't know what books he's read. I don't know who his friends are. I don't know what he would do," but they were telling us we should all vote for the guy. So now it's Mr. Brooks' turn, the conservative columnist in the New York Times decided that this was his chance to chime in. This is what he said.
BROOKS: Sometimes I've been thinking recently that as president he's shown he can be a really great Senator, which is to say that his natural skills are for the deliberation, for the organizing of coalitions, but the getting out front part and the sort of active determining and shaping history part, we've seen it sometimes, but not a lot. I just wish I knew whether it comes from some sort of deep sense of caution that he doesn't want to put himself out there, or for some other reason, I simply don't know.
RUSH: So Obama, he's been a really great Senator. I guess the crease in the pants isn't cutting it for Brooks anymore. It's not enough. It was enough to get Brooks' vote, the crease in Obama's slacks, that was enough to tell Brooks he was gonna be president and he was gonna be a great president, but it hasn't worked out. Now he doesn't know. None of these guys know. None of these people have the slightest idea. The thing is they never have had the slightest idea. (interruption) What is that, Snerdley? Snerdley wants to know what the L. stands for in Thomas L. Friedman. Loopy, that's the middle name.
RUSH: May as well grab it. Grab audio sound bite number 29. We may as well go back and relive this. By the way, folks, I have erred. There will not be a Dittocam Monday or Tuesday. I will not be here on Monday or Tuesday. We got guest hosts. Yeah. Yeah. Brain you-know-what. So, we'll have the Dittocam a week from today. That's -- that's the more accurate thing to say perform we've got Mark Davis next Monday and Tuesday next week.
This is like two or three days before the election, October the 30th in 2008. This is Brokaw on Charlie Rose on Charlie Rose's show.
ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don't, either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: Yeah, it's an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.
BROKAW: Two of them! I don't know what books he's read.
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
RUSH: Yeah. That's October 30th. That's less than a week before the election, after they spent months and months and months telling us, "You gotta vote for the guy! Vote for the guy!" They don't know who he is, and they still don't! Brooks and Friedman have no clue who he is. June 21st of 2011.

By Steve Grosekemper
If you spend enough time at the various PCA events you will eventually hear a multitude of new words that may not be in your daily vocabulary. These are words used by racers and bench racers alike. They are best described as racer lingo, or "Porschese."
You may hear words like apex, heel and toe, corner balance and bump steer. It is my goal to explain this sometimes foreign tongue and convert it into plain English.
Bump steer is one of the few terms which is actually what it says, (unlike heel& toe). If you hit a bump, the car steers to one side. On early Porsches such as 356's the tie rod ends were of two very different lengths. (See figure #1)
Figure #1
They were installed in the car at an angle. When the car hit a bump and lowered, the short tie rod would straighten more than the long one. This would increase the amount of toe the car would see on the short tie rod side, causing the car to steer to the right when it hit a bump.
Later on, when the 911 was introduced this problem was addressed by using rack and pinion steering with equal length tie rods. In these cars the tie rods were parallel with the ground and caused very little toe change as the car went through bumps. (See figure #2)
Figure #2
As time went on people discovered that if you lowered a 911 it would handle much better. However this caused yet another problem. The tie rods were now at such an angle that a bump in the road would cause excessive toe change. (See figure #3)
Figure #3
While this problem would not cause the car to pull to one side or another it did create a very darty feeling.
The cure for this problem was to install spacers between the steering rack and the front suspension member to raise the steering rack. This levels out the angled tie rods causing less toe change. This is what is done when someone is said to "set the bump steer."
Good Luck

Derby take on Doncaster on Friday 18th April, 2014, with kickoff at 19:30. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports 1.
This game is like the b-side to the Blackpool game, with third in the table taking on nineteenth the chances of glory or failure that tiny bit less, but with Derby chasing first seeding in the play-offs and Doncaster by no means safe from the threat of relegation this is still a massive match and not one you should miss this Friday night.
There are some very good players on show here, and Derby in particular are producing the sort of talent England and they need to nurture if the Premier League campaign the Rams crave is to be a success.
Derby v Doncaster is LIVE on Sky Sports 1.

It was golf during the last US visit. Now, it is skiing..yet another interesting sport. What made it more exciting is the $2 per hour lesson from an amicable skiing teacher. She generously extended the class for 4 hours heaping on our interest. First, it was balancing on skis and stopping at will. Then, it was the left and right turns which you maneuver through your toes. As one can imagine, walking up the slope for skiing down is the toughest part. Skiing down takes a few seconds, but every ascent takes 5-10 minutes. Thanks to the heavy boots and the long skis.
If you pass these lessons, then she diligently takes you to the bunny hill – a practice hill for amateurs! The ascent too is quick here. You just hold onto a running rope that pulls you forward. So, by catching the rope and balancing your skis.. you are at top of the hill in few seconds!
It was 5 hours of thorough fun with toppling & tumbling! The heaviness of your mind and the ski boots disappears as you start gliding in the snow!!

Waste Capital Partners Selected as Dasra Village Capital Investee
Waste Capital Partners, a solid waste management company that builds waste picker livelihoods by having them collect and environmentally process waste, was honored to be chosen by its peers in the Dasra Social Impact program to receive investment from Village Capital. The Dasra Social Impact program is a rigorous three week program over a 6-month period in which high performing social enterprises are selected to develop their businesses in a peer-environment. At the end of the six months, the social entrepreneurs select their peers they believe should receive investment by Village Capital. It is a great honor to receive this peer-selected investment as the social entrepreneurs in the program are most aware of the challenges and opportunities in the India social enterprise ecosystem.
Waste Capital Partners will utilize the Village Capital investment as part of an overall convertible debt raise from impact investors to prove out its end-to-end model and subsequently raise an equity round.

At the bottom it says this:
You also can update U-boot from Linux with dd command. After building U-boot, copy u-boot.bin into your ODROID-C1. Then do the command below in order to flash your U-boot image to MicroSD or eMMC.
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=64
$ sudo sync
That does not work for me, tried it 3 times. But simply running sd_fusing.sh works fine. Yes, I know the same command is in sd_fusing.sh but...
Also, obviously one must create a FAT16 vfat formatted partition for dtb, kernel, initrd, but there is no reference to that (feel the force, Luke?) By trial and error and cheating I came up with the right incantations, but it would have saved me much time had the following information been available:
A partition for kernel, dtb and initrd is necessary. Run fdisk <device> and create a root partition (partition 1), override the START with 49152. If you plan to have your rootfs on the sdcard on another partition you can put a minimum of +60M for the last sector of this root partition. Change type to FAT16 ("t" option, value 6) and type "w" to save changes. Format it with mkfs.vfat /dev/sd<device>1 and put your kernel, dtb, boot.ini and initrd there. A 60MB partition will have room for at least 3 kernels and associated files.

Chapter 7:
Setting Up Your Business Operations
The operational backbone of your startup is more than just keeping paperwork organized: 'operations' encompass finance, legal, compliance, HR and general admin.
Having solid processes in place for each of them can make all the difference when you're ready to start scaling your business.
To run a profitable SaaS business, you must be able to recognize where your costs are coming from, or how much capital you need to operate. Start by familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals of Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), gross margin, expenses, and cash flow.
Outsource what you need to from an accounting or tax perspective, but make sure your most experienced team member manages those numbers and regularly reports them transparently to the rest of the team: management transparency is one of the top factors that determine employee happiness. It can be as simple as creating an Excel sheet with your main metrics and going through it together every month.
One of
The more complex your SaaS is, the more attention you need to pay to the legal aspect of your business. Put some effort into your Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) even before you get paying customers. Don't just 'wing it'. But don't overdo it, either: just have a basic framework in place, think about your liabilities, and build a foundation so you don't regret
If you offer a simple service, you can start by looking at services or businesses that do something similar to yours, even in a different industry or market: check what they highlight in their terms (look out for things like invoicing, confidentiality, obligations, indemnification, warranties, limitations, etc.) and use that as a framework. The same goes for your privacy policy.
If your service falls under regulatory aspects, or you have customers in several countries, you might need to consult or hire legal counsel. For example: if your SaaS helps with investment advice or stores bank records, you are entering a sector that is more prone to regulation and therefore requires more stringent T&Cs. If you have EU-based customers and are handling or storing personally identifiable information, you needed to become General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant by May 2018 or might face hefty fines in the future.
As your business grows and your customers base expands, you will need to engage legal counsel on a more consistent basis: we recently updated our terms to version 3.0 (have a read-through here) and brought a legal counsel in-house for the first time. We also engaged four outside lawyers to review our new T&Cs: two from Malta, one from the US, and one from Germany, to ensure we would cover different territorial concerns for our international customer base.
When you think about implementing a process, define your success criteria first, then identify the sequence of events that will lead you there. You can then review and refine accordingly as you go along, depending on how close you are to your objective.
Some months ago I wanted to lower the financial service fees that impact us, merchant and payment service fees in particular. The success criteria
In the research phase, we discovered that one of our vendors (PayPal) had a simple, scalable process we could enroll in so as our transaction volumes grow, rates automatically go down. So we enrolled and instantly we began receiving
We also discovered that the best way to lower our fees from a banking perspective was to avoid currency conversion fees. We knew we were being impacted by these fees but they were largely hidden from us. It was not until we went digging that we realized how much we were
Ken Weary
VP of Operations at Hotjar
Also, remember that accountability is key: once you define your success criteria, you must make someone accountable for the journey to take you there. If you don't know who owns a customer's complaints, for example, then your processes need strengthening.
Most importantly, make processes important from the get-go: you can get by fine as a small team without clear processes, but building them now will provide strong foundations for future growth.
Here is a lesson I learned from Jason Lemkin: before you reach $10 million Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), people are not looking at you that much. This is not the time to be complacent: focus on creating a good and structured internal process. When you hit $10 million, suddenly everyone starts looking at you, and you should have everything planned and organized by then.
David Darmanin
CEO at Hotjar
Agile practices have been around for a while to help teams produce more value, faster. Instead of trying to deliver one big project all at once, an Agile team breaks it down into smaller chunks that get released regularly and iteratively.
Measure, iterate, optimize: that's what Agile execution is all about.
Bob Jelica
Director of Awesomeness at Football Addicts
You don't have to go all-in right now and create complex processes—in fact, the whole point of Agile is starting small and continuously improving. Start like this:
Use retrospectives on a regular basis to discuss what went well and what did not, review your process, and find bottlenecks and fix them (ps: we have a free retrospective template for you to copy and use, too). Hold larger retrospectives to look at the bigger picture too. For example: have quarterly retrospectives to examine what you've achieved, what your velocity has been, and whether or not what you shipped aligned with your projections and quarterly goals.
If you want to bring Agile into your established organization, you will need to highlight and explain the benefits and get buy-in so the team will want to do it, as opposed to being forced to.
Before you think switching to Agile is a waste of time and money, consider Skype's case: previously bought for around $2 million, the company moved to an Agile framework practically overnight and was later re-sold for $8.5 million thanks in part to this massive operational change. Sergei

Starr Wars
The spectacle of James Carville assessing the character of Kenneth Starr is almost too much to behold, but since Shakespeare's time and before, the court jester has been used to deliver deadly serious messages. When Mr. Carville reacted to Paula Corbin Jones with quips about dragging $100 bills through trailer parks, of course, Bob Bennett and his "tabloid trash" comments were not far behind.
So as a newly elected Bill Clinton reshuffles his cabinet, the campaign is also underway to drag his independent counsel into...

Deconstructivism is the key influence. Specifically, the absence of – and search for - harmony and or symmetry are sensibilities that characterise this collection. The earrings slightly wrap around your ear showing similar lines and volumes as the architecture of Fank Gehry who was my main inspiration source for these pieces.

A quick word of advice: By all means, watch Still Bill, the new documentary about Bill Withers. It's great, and it's on Netflix Instant and everything. Just don't watch it immediately before watching American Idol. If you do, you'll find yourself hating everyone on the show for not being Bill Withers. This is not a tenable position.
But anyway, this show! They actually somewhat care whether people can sing or not! The big news coming out of last night's show was that Chris Medina, the Chicago guy whose fiancee had a traumatic brain injury, got cut from the top 24 and took it like a grown-up, smiling through it while Jennifer Lopez went into some sort of attention-seizing teary breakdown. The show ended with a cliffhanger: We're supposed to be worried whether she can keep going on the show after delivering this deathblow. But honestly, breakdown aside, thank god things happened the way they did. Medina seems like a nice kid and all, but he's also a powerfully boring Christian-rock hack who, just on this show, jumped on a prop bed during a performance and brutalized Coldplay's "Fix You" by yelling at it. And the way the show handled his story was so hackneyed and so ferociously offensive that I found myself just hating the guy through no real fault of his own. I'd assumed he'd make the top five this season just on the strength of his hyped-to-death back story. But no: His new legacy is that he's the shitty version of infamous late cut Josiah Leming. Sometimes, things just work out right.
About that jumping-on-the-bed thing: This week started with an hour of people singing Beatles songs on a garishly decorated Vegas stage. This show, always with the Beatles-pimping. Every since they got the right to that songbook a couple years ago, the producers have made a big show out of busting them out once a year; at least we're through with that now. This time around, we got to hear Ryan Seacrest invoke the term "Beatlesmania" — I'm pretty sure that "s" was not supposed to be there.
The slightly more coherent half of the show was the second hour, in which the judges sat in an awesomely lit airplane hangar and began dispensing final decisions on who'd actually move on. A few of the late cuts were tough: I'm going to miss DeAndre something-or-other, the Terence Trent D'Arby-looking, falsetto-wielding teenager, but not so much that I actually remembered his last name. So here's the list of people we know are on the show, with a few quick thoughts.
Naima Adedapo. The weird-looking tatted-up girl from Milwaukee whose husband looks just like Sizzla and who brought what I have to assume is Milwaukee's entire Rastafarian population along to her audition. I like her! She has a great, powerful r&b voice and delivers her songs with actual, unstage-y emotion. She lost big points with me for singing "Put Your Records On" (the lame, played-out song that always gets sung over and over on this show for some reason) and for sobbing uncontrollably pre-verdict. But she won me back for becoming the first person on the show to mention Jennifer Lopez's Fly Girl past. There was an awesome instant where Lopez seemed pissed but couldn't say anything, because she'd look like an asshole. I promise you Adedapo is the first person to mention In Living Color to Lopez' face in at least 15 years. We also got this fun quote from Steven Tyler: "You're a flower. Bloom." This is not something that one person should ever say to another person.
Clint Jun Gamboa. Loathsome, weaselly asshole karaoke host with the worst collection of eyeglasses I have ever seen in my life. Glasses designers should study this guy and learn what not to do. Those gigantic red frames you thought would be so funny to design? Someone actually buys those, and they end up looking like this. Gamboa is always going to be the guy who kicked angelic 15-year-old Jacee Badeaux out of his group, which means he'll probably spend the rest of his life running from angry mobs of grandmothers. My thing about Gamboa: If you name your kid "Clint" and he grows up into this guy, you're disappointed, right? No matter how good of a singer he turns out to be? He does seem like a pretty good singer, though.
Haley Reinhart. Pretty blonde girl who sang a crazily showy jazzed-up version of "God Bless the Child" last week and who I otherwise don't remember at all. I guess she cried a lot at some point? Whatever.
Paul McDonald. Beardy guy with a rhinestone suit and a squeaky wheeze of a voice. I know nothing about this guy but I already hate him so much.
Ashthon Jones. Seriously talented if slightly generic r&b singer with a first name that I just don't understand at all. She's been kind of lurking in the background since Hollywood Week began, and I really like what little I've seen of her. It does not hurt that she has really cool hair or that she looks like some long-lost Knowles sister.

As the church, we also need to be keenly aware of our responsibility to be a positive reflection of the virtues and characteristics of Christianity. But we should not see this as just a responsibility. We should also see it as an opportunity.
A point of truth that has been heralded through the halls of the marketing world for many years is, "The best advertising is 'word of mouth' advertising." The most skillfully conceived marketing campaign can be negated by consumers who have already bought and used the product and have subsequently been dissatisfied with it. As they tell friends, neighbors, people they work with and others about their unhappiness with the product, sales go down. At the same time, nothing consistently drives sales like people who are excited about a product they have used.
Here at Sunny Slope, we need to stay focused on being a good, consistent, positive influence on those with whom we come into contact. Many people visit with us on a regular basis. When they come in the doors of our building, they need to see the Lord's church! They need to be greeted by people reflecting the love of Christ. They need to hear the truth of God's word being clearly taught and upheld. They need to receive the best possible impression of who we are. Whether they do, or not, is dependant largely upon us individually. Will we go out of our way to present the right image?
We also need to be a strong, positive influence among the other congregations in the area. Without being haughty or self-righteous, they need to see in us uprightness, strength, stability and direction. By being a consistent example, we can have an influence over time. In so doing, we will bring glory to God…

Diary of a Bad Lad
- Stephen Carty
- 24 August 2010
(18) 90min
(Safecracker Pictures)
Before you delve into this seedy world of drugs, pornography and prostitution, take heed that it's not real. Clearly inspired by 1992 faux-documentary Man Bites Dog (also about a fake film crew filming gangsters), director Michael Booth and writer/star Jonathan Williams' no-budget mockumentary feels so realistic you wouldn't know the difference if you switched on midway through.
Williams plays the interestingly-named Barry Lick, a suspended college film lecturer who decides to make a movie about Blackburn's crime scene. Persuading local gangster Tommy Morghen (Joe O'Byrne, excellent) to let him film the various dodgy goings on, it's not long before Lick is way out of his depth.
Interestingly amoral, intense and unnerving, Diary of a Bad Lad may ultimately be a victim of its budget but is still worth seeking out. Limited extras.

GARETH EVANS' rookie right-back career is still very much in its infancy.
Yet Ben Davies believes the necessity of finding a spot in Paul Cook's team for the 28-year-old overrides the suitability of any role he is handed.
Evans has started Pompey's past 14 games in the unfamiliar position.
Last season, the right-sided midfielder scored 10 goals in 47 appearances as the Blues reached the play-offs.
Operating behind him at right-back during that time was Davies.
And the duo forged an excellent partnership.
Evans is again in the frame to retain his new role for tomorrow's trip to Grimsby, the club Davies joined in the summer.
And his former team-mate is convinced the midfielder deserves a place in Cook's team, irrespective of where it is.
He said: 'It's good to see Gaz playing – and he deserves to play.
'He was one of the best players last season so deserves to be in the team, they need him with his energy and it's good to see him involved.
'I enjoyed playing with him. When you are a full-back and have somebody in front of you who works as hard as Gaz it makes your life so much easier, he was so unselfish with his running and worked so hard.
'He's probably the reason I had such a good year down there considering the work he put in in front of me and how honest he was.
'Every time I got in a one-v-one situation he was always helping out and backing up, with him playing it made my life easier and I could concentrate on attacking.
'It's always better playing with honest players who work hard and Gaz is as honest as the day is long.
'Being a right-back playing at Pompey with the gaffer there, you can get forward a lot anyway and have plenty of possession of the ball.
'Gaz is good going forward, he has been a winger most of his career, and he will still have those attacking opportunities in his new position.
'And he has done well by all accounts.'
The return to fitness of Drew Talbot and Adam Buxton has added plenty of competition for the right-back slot.
Meanwhile, first-year professional Calvin Davies is on loan at Ryman League premier division table-toppers Bognor.
Yet Evans remains Cook's preferred choice, despite never having played the role before his arrival at Fratton Park in the summer of 2015.
Davies added: 'When I found out about him playing at right-back I couldn't believe it and texted him.
'Secretly, I think he's really enjoying it! That's what he tells me!
'To be honest, he's a good defender. The only thing which catches you out a few times is the positioning, it's something I had a few years ago when I first moved back there.
'However, Gaz knows the game inside out and will be fine.
'I will text him today and say I'm looking forward to seeing him play in his new position!
'He's a great lad and it's good to see him come back from the injury he had at the end of last season.'

Dental Malpractice
This page represents only a partial listing of some of the wonderful results achieved by our firm for our clients. For additional information please contact us.
Improper Treatment of Infection Following Wisdom Tooth Extraction - $315,000
This $315,000.00 verdict was returned in Supreme Court, Richmond County.
Plaintiff underwent a wisdom tooth extraction performed by Defendant 1 in
and thereafter developed an abscess filled with pus at the extraction site.
He returned to this dentist, who lanced the abscess and drained it, and
placed plaintiff on oral antibiotics. Plaintiff returned several weeks later
with continued infection, and was given a prescription for the same exact
antibiotic. He was then referred by Defendant 1 to an oral surgeon, Defendant
2, who advised better oral hygiene and referred him back to Defendant 1. A TMJ disorder with chronic lockjaw set in, which ultimately required oral
surgery a year later at NYU Dental Center, to stretch the jaw muscles and
restore normal range of motion in plaintiff's mouth.
Even after the surgery,
up until the date of trial, plaintiff continued to suffer from occasional
chattering of his teeth and ringing in his ears because of residual scarring
in the area of the previous infection. John Bonina successfully proved that
Defendant 1, the dentist who performed the extraction, committed dental
malpractice in failing to take a culture of the area of infection, on either
of the two post-extraction office visits. He also proved that Defendant 1
was negligent in continuing the same antibiotic on the second
post-extraction visit, after plaintiff's infection had not responded to this
antibiotic previously. John Bonina also proved that Defendant 2 was
negligent in his treatment, because he failed to refer plaintiff for oral
physical therapy to restore the range of motion in his mouth after the
infection had subsided.

Kris Jenner Breaks Silence on Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy News
According to the matron, she woke up to the news just like every one else, and is confused, just like everyone else.
"I just woke up this morning," Kris told the press. "Kylie has not confirmed anything. I think it's kind of wild that everyone is just assuming that that's just happening. Something
happens every single day. You never know what is going to break at any moment, she added.
However, the story appears to be true, even though the couple has yet to confirm or deny it and this is because, Gossip Cop, a trusted website that fact checks trending stories, reached out to the reps of both stars and confirmed the pregnancy, 10 out of 10.
How will they make the official revelation? I guess they will do that on their reality show, and make some money off it.

Friday already? Beautiful.
The garage sale went well. I was only there for a short time. Elise + tables and tables of other people's things - outside, no less - is not a great combination. She and I popped in to say hello, but Andy is the one who set up at 7:00AM and tore down at 5:30PM. What a guy. Most of our things sold, and what is leftover is destined for donation.
The baby shower last night also went well. We squeezed 26 people into our living room and had a grand time. Dinner was wonderful. Can you beat a potluck? I don't think so. We served a pasta bar. Andy made four different sauces and two different breads; other people brought various noodles and salads, a trifle, a mint chocolate chip cheesecake, carrot cake, and pink lemonade. Oh my. Delicious. Elise went a little nuts towards the end. It was well past her bedtime, she was excited about all the guests being here, and she had carrot cake. She was fast asleep within minutes of the last guest leaving, but not before several moments of hyper defiance of our household rules. Nice. Hope she didn't scare the soon-to-be-parents too much.
Several of the friends who were here last night had never been to our house before. I am really glad that they came. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but having a friend come to my home seems to somehow cement the friendship. If they have not been to my home, and if I have not been to theirs, then we have not been introduced to the biggest, probably most important, and most personal part of each others' lives.
I was pleased that everyone here last night was able to compliment Andy on his cooking without insulting me. That sounds very insecure and petty, doesn't it? This is what I mean: When people find out that Andy does most of the cooking in our home, they usually turn to me and say, "Oh, you don't cook?" Sometimes even, "Oh, you don't know how to cook?" Come on, people. If I were the primary cook, would they look surprised and ask Andy if he knew how to cook? No. I do not cook as well as Andy, nor do I cook as frequently as he does. That doesn't mean that I don't know how to cook. Anyway, everyone complimented Andy, and a few people mentioned to me that it was really nice that I have a husband who cooks. I couldn't agree with them more.
Life has thrown us a few curveballs recently. (Is there a cliche for that? If life gives you lemons, make lemonade; if life gives you scraps, make a quilt. What are you supposed to do if life throws you a curveball? Hit it hard? Adjust your swing?) They are making me appreciate daily life all the more. It's comforting to have things to do. I know I say it a lot, but order and routine are just so comforting to me. I can't do anything about the things that are worrying me, but I can do dishes and run errands and pay bills and write schedules and send letters and share dinner with friends. None of those things have anything to do with the problems that are worrying me, but somehow they help.
Today is the most beautiful October day in Seattle. It it sunny and crisp, the leaves are at their peak of color, and there is just the slightest breeze. The tree directly opposite our front window is a brilliant orange. It's just lovely. Perfect crocheting weather.

Hyundai Motorsport will be heading to Rallye Deutschland on the site of their first World Rally Championship win with Thierry Neuville in 2014.
Hyundai are on home turf in Trier as their headquarters are located two hours away in Alzenau, Germany. The team missed out on a potential podium position last time out in Rally Finland as Neuville was 4.6 seconds from the podium, but the Belgian had to settle for fourth place.
The team have tested on the asphalt of Germany with their three-phase test on the Baumholder military ranges in July to work on making sure the New Generation i20 is ready for the toughest asphalt round of the 2016 World Rally Championship season.
Neuville who is in a rich vein of form after previous results in Finland and Poland. He said "Rallye Deutschland is the highlight of the season for me. It's like my home rally, very close to the Belgian border and a lot of supporters come down with lots of Belgian flags. So it's the rally we are most waiting for in the season, and it's an event we have always been competitive at. We got our first victory there so I am looking forward to it."
Spain's Dani Sordo returns to Rallye Deutschland after missing Rally Finland due to a fractured vertebra. The Spaniard is ready to tackle the asphalt of Germany, saying "We are really pleased to be back in the car at one of our favourite events. It's a very challenging rally, very fast with lots of different characteristics. It's exciting to drive in the vineyards, fast but very narrow with lots of hairpins and corners. The military ranges are very tricky, particularly in the wet, so it's important not to make mistakes. We have gone well here in the past and we are looking for a strong result."
New Zealand's Hayden Paddon is in fine form after previous results in Finland and Poland. Paddon admits that tarmac is not his preferred surface, adding "It's going to be a bit foreign. It seems like a long time since we were doing a tarmac rally. It's not my preferred surface but it's one that I have to learn. I get to use it as an opportunity to improve on where we left off from last year. Germany is a very unique rally in the vineyards, the army range and also some public roads as well. It's sort of three tarmac rallies in one, and we're looking forward to the challenge."

Just three months after tying the knot, The Walking Dead's Steven Yeun and wife Joana Pak have welcomed their first child together! E! News reports the two had a baby boy on March 17—the luckiest charm for the newlyweds!
The news broke of Joana's pregnancy just days after they married, but the couple didn't share when Joana was due. The newlyweds both shared Instagram posts that gave us some clues as to how far along she was—like Joana's mirror selfie of her and her belly, which she captioned "February."
Steven also shared some adorable photo booth pictures of the two celebrating their future child. The couple, who have been together since 2009 and got engaged in August 2015, seriously can't get any cuter.
It's been an exciting couple of months for the pair, who wed at the Paramour in Los Angeles on December 3, 2016, with 220 guests, including The Walking Dead co-stars, there to celebrate. Since both have Korean heritage, they made sure to include cultural traditions in their big day. Joana wore a custom purple hanbok, a traditional Korean dress with a slim, ribbon-adorned bodice and full petticoat skirt.
The couple exclusively told MSW that they wouldn't be honeymooning after their wedding due to Steven's busy filming schedule and a baby on the way. Now the two can celebrate their new lives with a bundle of joy—and maybe plan that honeymoon. Congrats to the newlyweds and parents!

text: Filter All Category Select All Query All Words Any Words Exact Phrase Order of Results Newest First Oldest First Alphabetical Amelia Moore: You Don't Maximize True Knowledge Until You Apply It Inward Transcript Distribution Hey there, I'm Amelia Moore, AKA Amelia is more, your host with the most. I'm a journalist, author, actor, you name it, former executive. I guess what enabled me to get all of these titles was my urge for knowledge. I love a challenge, and within that challenge comes the resources, like trying to find out, like what really makes this thing work? What's really necessary to make this thing successful? Whatever it is, and by asking that question, you're really seeking knowledge, and you know, knowledge is power, and when you seek it, you actually give yourself power, and some of the interesting bi-products of that seeking knowledge is you find truth. If you're honestly seeking true knowledge, you'll find truth, and the beautiful thing about that that I have learned over the years is two other really great bi-products: wisdom and understanding. And, when you have knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, it's what I like to say cipher complete. But to me, I truly feel after seeking knowledge for so many years, you don't maximize true knowledge until you apply it, and that's where the responsibility of knowledge really comes into play. You can't give it to just anyone. It's like paying forward, but if you put it in the wrong hands, you've just been part of the massacre of others, but if you put it in the right hands, you've just been part of the truth-seeking, and truth-finding, and the knowledge of others. So, to me, the beauty of knowledge is being able to pass it on. So, if I've learned anything from my journey in life, it's that seek knowledge, it's so rewarding, and you kinda stand a little taller, and you speak a little clearer, and you avert certain things that you didn't do younger because you didn't just have that knowledge. That's pretty much what knowledge means to me.

It becomes very clear in the first scene, with bikinied women hanging out with the Cryptkeeper as he introduces the film, that Ritual is much lower budget than its predecessors. The Cryptkeeper has affected a Rasta accent for this intro, but that's not that bizarre given the story is set in Jamaica. What is bizarre is that his mouth just ain't workin' right. Also, the Keeper doesn't do a wrap around, just this intro, though you should stay tuned after the credits if you want more of him.
The film is "based on" I Walked With a Zombie, so I guess it's technically a remake. I'm sure I saw the original film years ago, but can't remember enough to give an adequate comparison, so I'm evaluating this story on its own merits.
A doctor has been watching too many episodes of House and takes a huge risk based on a hunch. She gets her medical license suspended and ends up on hard times. She finds a job in Jamaica that doesn't require a license, which involves looking after a rich dude's sick brother. Unfortunately for her the ailment goes a bit beyond normal medical issues. Seems some bad voodoo is going down, and there's a "big man" to blame. If you haven't figured out who that is well before the unmasking you're probably the type surprised at the end of a Scooby Doo episode.
The acting in Ritual is not always as good as the acting in previous Tales From the Crypt movies, which is pretty amazing considering Dennis Miller's performance in Bordello. Even Tim Curry, a man so well suited for a comic book style movie he may as well be rendered in ink and paint, comes off forced because he doesn't have much to work with in Ritual. Other actors are laboured with Jamaican stereotypes that're so bad that it's hard to tell if they're just poor thespians or if the writing is also to blame. Things get ridiculously tongue in cheek, like a man literally melting from heat who pauses to take his temperature, but most of the humour fails, with many attempted "funny" lines flopping.
The problems aren't just to do with the cast and script, the director and FX crew have a lot to answer for as well. The CG is REALLY bad. I mean, really, really, REALLY bad. I'll grant the FX crew maybe didn't have much budget, but even so, I've seen low budget Thai movies with better CG than this. There is a weird tendency towards annoying slow motion, and, most distressing, there are lots of bizarre moments with characters talking over each other. I'm not sure if this is because of a lack of funds for retakes, staging, or rehearsal, but it makes the film feel like a jumbled mess.

No 39 isn't just the number of the London bus whose route starts at Clapham Common and terminates at Putney Bridge. It's also the number of one of the most amazing footpaths you'll walk on in the Apuan Alps.
Originally a mule-track between down-valley Aiola (alt: 90 metres) to Vinca (alt: 900 metres) the path traverses alp-like pastures, birch forests, exposed rocky outcrops, and chestnut woods to finally enter the cultivated areas of the Lucido valley villages. In addition, along the path you can meet with a sanctuary, several Maestà (little shrines), the ruins of an ancient church, a remote hermitage and a mysterious castle watch tower buried deep in the forest. This truly is a path to experience, although it requires some fitness, a good sense of balance, keenness and perseverance.
I originally did this exceptional walk some years back with a lovely person (who sadly is no longer with us) and was very keen to repeat that unforgettable experience in the company of two dear friends who had worked out the train and bus timetables so that we could reach Vinca without a hitch (in theory).
Accordingly, at mid-day I boarded the train at Bagni di Lucca station (where I met my friends who'd travelled on the same line from Ponte a Moriano), and we reached the town of Monzone at 1 pm.
The Lucca-Aulla line must be immediately put on the list of the great train journeys of the world if it hasn't already. The line (begun in the 19th century but only completed in the 1950's) traverses the gentle hills around Lucca, winds up the gorges of the Serchio River, slips under Borgo a Mozzano's Devil's Bridge, gushes out into the main Garfagnana valley, wends past another set of gorges before reaching Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.
Thence it crosses the Serchio River on a spectacular viaduct (which can also be walked across by those not vertically challenged) before reaching Piazza al Serchio, the uppermost town of the Serchio valley. From there it traverses the main watershed leading into Lunigiana through two immensely long (and noisy) tunnels, between which is the town of Minucciano with its unique hexagonal church tower, before emerging into the Lucido valley and Monzone, where we alighted.
Forget your list of train journeys to do next – this one should come first!
The bus to Vinca apparently did not come, or rather it had come and gone, a full twenty-five minutes before the hour appointed by the timetable and we were not at the bus stop while it paid its visit but eating our sandwiches nearby! The same bus which had so slighted us, then returned from Vinca and, with one of my friends' waving a print-out of the official timetable to the non-plussed bus-driver and the vocal support of the local barman, who had realised our miserable plight (no more buses until the next day) and who had a "couple of words" with the bus driver, we were given an extraordinary journey all to ourselves to Vinca by the driver who admitted it was all his fault that we missed the bus!
I felt this summed up this wonderful country of Italy to a T. Things never quite run on time (pace Mussolini's trains), usually they run late. In exceptional circumstances, like this bus, they run early but everything turns out well in the end. I doubt if bus drivers in other parts of the globe would lay on an extra journey just for the benefit of three dejected hiking brits!
After several hair-raising hairpin bends we arrived at the remote village of Vinca which is of a severe appearance but which is highly attractively sited with its dolomitic-like backdrop of the Garnerone ridge. We visited the little narrow and steep streets of the place and I bought some bread which I found delicious and which I subsequently discovered Vinca is famous for.
Regrettably I also found out later that this lovely and peaceful location was the site of one of the greatest atrocities by Nazi-fascists in this part of Italy during the last days of WWII. In August 1944, as a reprisal for the killing of a Nazi officer, soldiers from the 16th SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Reichsführer SS" commanded by Major Walter Reder killed over 170 civilians in Vinca, mainly old men and women. The description of the atrocities could not possibly find a place in this blog – so horrible it was. War spares no place and no-one– my thoughts are now with those poor civilians living in Syria.
Fortunately, I had not found out about this terrible page of history until the day after the walk – indeed, providentially, we did not even visit the cemetery, even though we passed it on our walk down, where we would have found out about the hideous massacre through its memorial.
Nature reclaims everything, even the victims of unendurable horrors, and the ex-mule track footpath we were now following through a luscious birch and holm-oak forest became very overgrown and narrowed down by landslides. Occasionally, this made for a little difficult going but it was all so much worth it that we did not mind the occasional tiredness of the knees and the heat outside the wooded areas hitting us from the weirdly-shaped exposed rocks. What wonders were around us: the wild crags of the Northern Apuans, the lushest of woodland, the extensiveness of views over the Lucido valley, the timelessness of it all…
It's interesting, however, how one forgets certain details of walks one has previously done: the metal gangplank across one stretch which had fallen down due to a landslide completely slipped my mind. Anyway, it was still solidly in place and, holding on for dear life to an iron chord against the rock face, we negotiated it without difficult (just didn't look down!)
The ruined chapel of The Madonna Vecchia Di Vinca still had traces of its decoration on the wall and, under the shadow of a projecting rock, made a welcome stop and shelter from the now quite intense heat.
If we had started earlier, or even if the temperature had been lower, we would have made a detour to the ruins of the Eremo di San Giorgio. I'd given St George's hermitage a miss on my previous occasion on this walk as well. Third time lucky? Perhaps a separate trip is due to the hermitage, which was founded in the seventeenth century by Matteo Filippo Caldani. (Caldani was a rich Veronese who gave up his worldly wealth to withdraw from the world here in 1604 dedicating himself to a life of contemplation and renunciation. Others joined him in this wild and lonely part of the world and they subsequently became part of the order of the servants of Maria of Monte Senario near Florence – which place I've mentioned in a previous post).
Re-entering the woods after this perpendicular track of the mulattieria and stopping at a fountain with the most delicious water we'd tasted (but water is always delicious when you're parched!) we approached the delightful village of Aiola with its proud sculpture of Saint George and his dragon on the church façade.
From thence it was a short walk to the Christmas crib town of Equi Terme, its wild-west like train station and the train home which, in contrast to the 25 minutes-early bus, was 25 minutes late!
Of such walks are our sweetest memories made and we shall always think of these enchanted moments until the very last days of our lives upon this earth.

Organizing the Immigration Day of Action
[Archived from February 2017]
The purpose of this nationwide event is to show our representatives that we as students of the United States are organized and demand our Congressional representatives to stand up against President Trump's recent executive orders on immigration. As such, it is with great emphasis that we stress the need to speak with one voice on February 17th. This entails ensuring that our message is carefully communicated throughout the various participating campuses. The following Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) should then serve as a guide for student activists.
While it is important to follow through with these general guidelines, we must also recognize that each campus has its own unique challenges, and so these guidelines must be applied within the context of each individual university.
Campus Strategy
Campus Implementation Strategy
What is a Day of Action?
A Day of Action (DoA) is an event on campus that will consist of a day of letter-writing, postcard-writing and phone banking to protest President Trump's executive orders. While the scope of this day should be limited to tackle issues related to immigration, a lot may change in the following weeks. Therefore, each campus has the ability to tailor the types of demands students will make to their representatives.
You might wonder how much of an effect phone calls, letters, and postcards might have - at the end of every week, Congressional staff compile total numbers of all correspondence received, and then present those tallies to the Member of Congress . Certain pieces of correspondence are also picked out and presented to the Member. If a large enough volume of correspondence is received, it can really help move the needle on contested issues. Just this past week, a number of Republican senators decided to vote against their party on the confirmation of Betsy Devos as Secretary of Education because of the number of letters and phone calls their offices had received opposing her nomination.
How to Carry Out A Day of Action?
Overall, Implementing a Day of Action on your respective campuses should not represent a significant logistical challenge. However, we do recognize there are some things that need to be made clear in order to proceed forward. The following steps are recommended:
- Create an executive team to carry out the logistical components of the Day of Action:
- This step is recommended for those campuses that do not have an organization that can actively organize the event. Regardless, every school should have someone in charge of putting the event together, as well as a support team. Finally, there should be an established point of contact with the organizers of the national event as to ensure constant communication.
- Reserve a large enough space on campus in order to host the event:
- The room should have tables, chairs, and outlets in order to be able to write letters and call representatives. The size of the room should be tailored to the expected demand of students.
- Create a Facebook event and share it among students.
- For reference, here is Princeton University's Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1719768974910543/
- Secure sources of funding:
- Funding should cover the costs of stamps and mailing letters/postcards.
- Check the cost of acquiring the aforementioned materials, and index your financial projections to the amount of people you expect attending the event.
- It would be good if the postcards are from your own universities, as to show it's college students demanding they be heard.
- The reality is that the majority of the efforts should be concentrated on the phone calls, so do not stress about this point as much.
- You might also want to secure funding for food as an incentive for people to show up.
- Here's the Princeton budget for our DoA, as an example:
- 1500 Postcards ($100)
- 300 Pens
- 750 sheets of blank paper (if people choose to write letters - we can steal these from residential college printers)
- 500 - 750 Envelopes (these come in packs of 500) ($12.29)
- 1500 postage stamps ($750)
- Total: $862.29
Create Buzz
- This means going through all media possible to garner attention from your local community and press - earned media is key to extending the event's reach
- Spam Facebook, email listservs, Twitter, pretty everything you can do to get people's attention
- Publicize through individual groups and clubs on your campus - they can mobilize their memberships as well!
- You are all encouraged to publish articles in your schools' newspapers, online publications like The Tab, Buzzfeed, etc.
[Optional, but highly encouraged]
Reach out to your friends in other universities that might be interested in this type of event! If you have any friends that could implement this in their own universities - that would be great!
Things to have in mind
For the actual Day of Action, it is important to have a volunteer staff who can help people write letters and make the phone calls. It is best to find people who have experience with phone banking or letter-writing. Finally, this volunteer staff should also be able to steer people to the proper tables as well as take note of who is present at the event. Personal engagement is key - lighten the mood - this is an incredibly serious endeavor, but you also want to draw in people who might not normally be engaged in the political process.
There are also some campus-specific features that can be added to the event. For example, we encourage you to have a designated corner for students to take pictures with a sign so they may put them as their profile pictures. Another option is to hold some sort of conversation or panel during the event to encourage others to come out. One partner university is even holding a potluck at the same time as their Day of Action. It is here where each university has the freedom and capacity to tailor their event to their liking.

Beverley said by addressing the situation on Friday as he did he felt he brought more attention to it, increasing security awareness.
That left the famously bristly JR Smith jersey womens Westbrook in a somewhat unfamiliar position on the stage.

OK, OK. Westbrook won't finish third. I feel reasonably confident saying that much.
To stave off another fierce challenge from LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Golden State needed multiple big shots from Durant history of nba all star jerseys in a Finals wholesale jerseys China full of them, including a three-pointer that opened a 22-2 run in the second quarter and another early in the fourth quarter that pushed the Warriors lead back to eight.

Unsurprisingly, given the college season he just had, Collins is averaging a double-double and has been among the more productive bigs in Vegas. He fell on draft night over concerns about his overall NBA readiness and maturity, but in the Summer League environment, it matters not. Collins has great hands, rebounds well and has displayed good touch from mid-range. He'll have ample opportunity to shine as the Hawks rebuild and looks like a worthwhile project.
San Antonio was then a finalist last summer in the Kevin cheap jerseys direct nba standings 2016 Durant sweepstakes, before Durant chose to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Warriors.
Its also possible the bigs are kept off the jerseys for cheap nfl court for large stretches. We already know what the Warriors can do with Green at center. Against Boston, Tyronn Lue deployed LeBron at center for some brief stretches, and those lineups were devastating offensively.
If you had to pick one guy to do it, though, LeBron James authentic jersey Jerry West seems like a pretty damn good choice.
Like LeBron James in 03 and Derrick Rose in 08, Ball was Utah Jazz jersey youth destined to stay local, an oversized floor general joining a team run by Magic Johnson and coached by Luke wholesale football jersey Walton. At the Finals, Warriors New York Knicks jersey replica staffers wondered who the Lakers would tab with the No. 2 pick, but they knew exactly who would fit best in the system Steve Kerr implemented and Walton studied. Other candidates cheap jerseys wholesale china had more quickness and athleticism. Lonzo, one of the Dubs coaches said, has the feel.

We hope that by the way he plays, Walton said Thursday night, wholesale jerseys China everybody else on our wholesale jerseys team becomes better.
Durant would prefer we?discuss how?those Warriors buy nba jerseys online australian tourist created a fun basketball atmosphere and a winning culture, which is why he wanted authentic jerseys wholesale to join them, than everyone still talking cheap jerseys wholesale china about how he joined the 73-win team that beat his Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016.

Thank you to my kind and loyal clients for sharing your comments! Judy
Before my massage with Judy, I had been feeling distracted and scatterbrained for many days from built-up stress. Receiving a massage from her was the best thing I could have done! She was warm and welcoming from the start, and really took the time to find out about my health. The entire massage was fantastic and truly felt customized to my body's needs. I left feeling much more centered and focused, as well as much more relaxed. I highly recommend Judy! Kelly W., Doctor of Chiropractic
Massages with Judy are like snowflakes: no two are the same. She meets you where you are at in the moment. And like a snowflake, you will float and you will melt while time seems to stand still. Judy's touch is pure bliss. Lisa B.
Coming here is like finding a road map to my body! Walter W.
Thank you Judy for the amazingly deep work yesterday. The majority of my pain is gone! I greatly appreciate your expertise and willingness to go deep. : ) You go the extra mile! Amiel
Very professional, great experience. She was able to understand my particular situation and was very knowledgeable with working towards a solution. The environment was relaxing and I enjoyed the music. Jeremy W.

microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.0A has new batteries but will not communiate with the microsoft wireless optical mouse 2000 despite touching the connect buttons Also the keyboard misses some leters now unless pressed hard.
The wireless mouse and wireless keyboard probably do not communicate with each other.
If they were bundled together, they use the same USB transmitter - receiver to communicate with the computer.
If they were NOT bundled together, they may or may not be able to use the same USB transmitter - receiver to communicate with the computer.
You may need to change the battery(ies) in the mouse as well, and or follow some procedure to activate it.
Modern more inexpensive keyboards do not last as long as modern more expensive or older keyboards. After you have used the keyboard a lot, eventually, it`s likely the keys you use most tend to become unreliable If the keys that are unreliable do work when you press them harder, other keys work fine, that has nothing to with any software or wireless signal strength problem.
Thanks for your help. I guess it's a new keyboard for me.All the best

Home Buyers Mistake #1. Neglecting to Get Pre - Approved for a Mortgage
Imagine you've spent weeks or months searching for the perfect home. You've scoured the MLS listings every day, went to open houses every weekend, researched online, attended seminars, went on private showings with your Realtor and finally found the perfect place. Now imagine making the offer and having the deal fall apart because your financing was not approved!
This devastating situation can be so easily avoided by taking the time to get pre-qualified by the bank or mortgage broker. I can help by referring some trusted mortgage professionals to you if you don't know any.
- Save time and make sure you are looking for homes in the correct price range
- Ensure that you can remove financing subject conditions on your offer
- Gives peace of mind not only for you, but alleviates Sellers concerns about your ability to pay
- Gives your RE/MAX agent a negotiating edge when dealing with multiple offer situations
Home Buyers Mistake #2. Not Knowing That Mortgage Rates are Negotiable
Its important to shop around and check out both banks and mortgage brokers to find the best rates for your mortgage.
- Rates are negotiable!
- Banks will give their best rates to customers that have other products with them, for example: RRSP's, checking account, savings or other investments or services
- View the posted rates as a starting point
- Remember to ask if the bank will pay for appraisal fees
- Read the contract terms carefully! Be leery if the rate offered is lower than everywhere else; the contract may have more restrictive terms; higher buy-out fees, penalties, payment options, less portability etc.
Home Buyers Mistake #3. Not Adding a Home Inspection Condition Clause to Your Offer
It can be devastating to buy your dream home and then find a hidden defect only after you've taken possession and moved in. To avoid this costly mistake, I highly recommend that you add a condition to your offer that makes the purchase subject to a satisfactory home inspection. A professional home inspection can reveal small and large deficiencies in the home's exterior, interior and systems. Some problems are relatively minor, others may be deal breakers.
In most cases a home inspection is all you need, but in certain situation you may also want to invest in other specialized inspections from experts, for example you may want a structural engineer's report, insect, radon or other specialized surveys. I can advise you on inspections you should consider.
So what happens if there are problems found? We may be able to use the deficiencies found in the inspection as a negotiating tool to reduce the purchase price to cover required repairs or ensure the homeowner fixes the problem to your satisfaction before removing the subject clause.
Home Buyers Mistake #4. Trying To Do Everything Yourself
With the wealth of information on the internet its tempting for Buyers to try to buy a home themselves and not use the services of a Licensed Real Estate Agent. There are several reasons to use a RE/MAX agent to help you make a purchase with the least amount of problems.
- I have access to market data that is not available to the public, including statistical data and sold prices
- As a RE/MAX agent I have access to the inventory of the largest real estate company in the world, so if you are looking for something particular I can leverage the knowledge of other agents in my company
- I regularly view houses in my service area so I know what's on the market, often before the public
- I can do a comparative analysis on the property you are interested in to ensure the price you pay is market value
- I can offer expert advice on what to look for, what conditions to include in your offer and advise on the strategy you should take in making your offer
- I work as your advocate and look out entirely for your best interests in the negotiations I do for you
Home Buyers Mistake #5. Buying First Before Selling
If price is important you should always sell your present home before buying another. It has the advantage in letting you know exactly how much money you will have available for your next purchase. Selling your home first allows you to place fewer conditions on your purchase which makes your offer more attractive to a seller. They often will demand more money to take a "subject to" offer which takes their home off the market. The other advantage is if you find a terrific house, chances are others will also find it attractive and you stand to lose it if you can't make an unconditional offer.
Home Buyers Mistake #6. Being Uninformed About the Costs of Buying a Home
I can advise you on the following costs: legal fees, transfer tax, property taxes, new home landscaping, fencing, appliances, window coverings.

- Get new property alerts
