Garnett, Kevin 1976–
Kevin Garnett 1976–
Professional basketball player
Kevin Garnett underwent a marked change in his image over the course of his first two years in the national spotlight. When most basketball fans first heard of Garnett, he was known as the high school basketball player who was going directly into the National Basketball Association (NBA) because he couldn't qualify academically to play in college. Many NBA observers assumed he was a disaster waiting to happen, but by his second season in the league, Garnett had surprised many by becoming one of the NBA's young crop of budding stars. At 6-foot-11 he has the power and size of a center, but he also has the speed and ball-handling skills of a guard. Possibly what surprised some critics the most about Garnett in his early days in the league was that, far from being too immature to handle the spotlight, he developed a reputation as one of the league's classy young players.
Garnett was born May 19, 1976 in Mauldin, South Carolina. His mother, Shirley Irby, raised Kevin, an older sister, Sonya, and a younger sister, Ashley. The family lived in Mauldin, a quiet, middle-class bedroom community, for the first 18 years of Kevin's life. Garnett showed promise as a basketball prospect early, and attracted considerable attention from college scouts. At the end of his junior year at Mauldin High School, Garnett was named Mr. Basketball for the state of South Carolina.
The first major changes in Garnett's life came following his junior year in high school. He was involved in an incident in which I he and several of his friends were accused of assaulting a white student, a touchy accusation in the racially tense town. His record was cleared after he participated in a pre-trial program for first-time offenders, but staying in the area was problematic after that. Garnett met the coach from Chicago's Farragut Academy High School at a basketball camp before his senior year, and he and his mother moved to that city so he could transfer to Farragut. The move was a dramatic one in most every way, particularly going from a quiet Southern community to a gang-infested urban environment. Garnett said he had to learn to survive in Chicago, telling Newsweek the city was "total hell—gangs, guns, crime. I had to deal with a gang leader named Seven-Gun Marcello. No fun."
The move was a successful one from a basketball standpoint, though, as Garnett averaged 25.2 points-
At a Glance…
Born May 19, 1976 in Mauldin, South Carolina; son of Shirley Irby. Education: High school diploma, Chicago Farragut Academy, 1995.
Career: Professional basketball player, 1995-. Drafted fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1995 NBA Entry Draft.
Selected awards: Named to NBA All-Star Team, 1997; voted NBA All-Rookie Second Team, 1996; named National High School Player of the Year by USA Today, 1995; named to Parade Magazine All-America First Team, 1995; Mr. Basketball for state of Illinois, 1995; Most Outstanding Player in 1995 McDonald's All-America Game; Mr. Basketball for state of South Carolina, 1994.
Addresses: Office-Minnesota Timberwolves, 600 First Avenue North, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55403.
per-game, 17.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 6.5 blocks in his one year at Farragut. He was named Mr. Basketball in his second state in as many years, named the USA Today's National High School Player of the Year, and was placed on the Parade Magazine All-America First Team. Following the season he played in the McDonald's All-America Game, and grabbed 11 rebounds, scored 18 points and was named the game's Most Outstanding Player. Scouts were unanimous in their opinion that Garnett was a top-notch basketball prospect.
There was one problem with the logical and traditional next step into college, however: Garnett was not a top-notch student. While several college programs wrestled with the question of whether to accept this marginal student with remarkable basketball skills, Garnett wrestled repeatedly with the ACT entrance exam. The question became moot when he failed for the fourth time to gain a score which would allow him to play basketball as a freshman, and he declared himself eligible for the NBA draft.
Garnett's move from South Carolina to Chicago had generated a bit of controversy in the basketball world, but nothing compared to his decision to jump from high school to the pros. Everyone seemed to have an opinion as to whether Garnett was ready, physically or emotionally, to make the big step. Of the three players who had previously done so, Moses Malone had unqualified success, Darryl Dawkins had some success, and Bill Willoughby had limited success. The most recent of those players had entered the league 20 years before Garnett; another player, Shawn Kemp, skipped college basketball but did attend college for a year. Many basketball people questioned whether any 19-year old was mature enough to avoid the pitfalls of the NBA's spotlight. They also thought that if he could handle the attention and forego the temptations, however, his physical assets would make him a potential superstar for years to come.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, a young franchise eager to improve their future, took the gamble and chose Garnett with the fifth pick overall in the 1995 NBA Entry Draft. They signed him to a contract for $5.6 million over three years. While it was thought Garnett had the potential to play any position, the Timberwolves decided his 6-foot-11, 220-pound frame was best suited to small forward until he filled out with a few more pounds. He took an apartment in Minnetonka, a suburb of Minneapolis, and shared it with a roommate, Bug Peters, an old friend from South Carolina. Garnett allayed fears of his getting into trouble, telling Newsweek he was basically a homebody. "I don't drink or smoke or go out much at all," he declared. "I've done all that, and it got me in trouble. I have an image to uphold. People are watching; kids are watching. I prefer staying home with Bug, playing CDs and Sega." Garnett was also largely confined to his hotel room on road trips. As teammate Sam Mitchell attested in Newsweek, "The kid's not old enough to get in anyplace where he can get into trouble."
Another place Garnett avoided trouble was on the basketball court. Not surprisingly, he didn't set the world on fire with his statistics immediately, but when his rookie season was over there was enough evidence to suggest that the Timberwolves' gamble would probably pay off. He played in the Rookie Game at the All-Star break, finishing with eight points, four rebounds, and six assists. Midway through the season he cracked the Wolves' starting lineup, and he led the squad with a 49.1 percent field goal percentage and broke a team record for blocked shots in a season with 131. He also led the team in rebounds in half the games after he became a starter, and had double digits in points and rebounds in 12 games.
As the season rolled on, Garnett attracted rave reviews from seasoned observers of the game. Atlanta Hawks general manager Pete Babcock told Sports Illustrated late in the season, "He's a special player. Earlier in the year you saw flashes of it. But he has so much more confidence now. He extends so high on his turnaround jumper and shoots so soundly, he's become very difficult to stop." Timberwolves vice president Kevin McHale told Sports Illustrated at about the same time, "What this kid has accomplished is amazing. If you put him in a college situation right now, where it's not as physical and there's zone coverage, he'd be doing things that would have people in awe."
Garnett's strong play continued into his second professional season, and so did the growth in his reputation.
One national magazine included Garnett in an article about the young players in the league with strong character and respect for the game. When he was named to the NBA Western Conference All-Star Team as an injury replacement in February, he became the youngest player ever named to an all-star team. It was less than two years after he had graduated from high school, and Kevin Garnett was already a star in the NBA. People could only wonder how good he might be after his 21st birthday.

Garnett, Kevin
Kevin Garnett
American basketball player
In 1995, Kevin Garnett became famous as one of the first high school basketball players to be drafted directly into the National Basketball Association (NBA). Despite many people's concerns about how a teenager would fare in that setting, Garnett did extremely well in his first few years. In 1997, when at the age of twenty-two he resigned with the Minnesota Timberwolves for $126 million over six years, and became the highest-paid athlete in any team sport.
NBA Draft, 1995
Garnett was a senior at Farragut Academy in Chicago in the spring of 1995. He had already earned a great deal of national attention as a basketball player, but his SAT scores were not high enough to play college basketball in the NCAA, so he decided to take his chances with the NBA draft. He was a hot prospect, and even before the draft happened he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated under the headline Ready or Not.… Only hours before the draft started he learned that he had passed the SATs the last time he took them, but by then it was too late. In the first round of the draft, he was selected fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves were still a young team then, and in 1995 they had a new vice president, general manager, and owner. "I think we figured if [signing a high school kid] went bad, we'd just say, 'Hey, it was our first draft. We didn't know what we were doing,'" Timberwolves vice president Kevin McHale told Sports Illustrated reporter Leigh Montville in 1999. But the Timberwolves never needed any excuses.
From his first season, Garnett was an excellent player, scoring an average of 10.4 points per game and achieving a 49.1 percent shooting average. He started the season as the second-string small forward, behind veteran NBA player Sam Mitchell, but that did not last long. Several weeks into the season, Mitchell recalled to Montville, "I went to the coach and told him Kevin should be starting. The reason was simple: He was better. I was playing against him every day in practice, and I knew how good he was." But as good as his skills were, perhaps more impressive was the fact that Garnett quickly became the team's moral leader, calming down teammates who were angry and energizing those who felt tired or defeated.
From his first day in the NBA, Garnett was fighting a battle for respect. "Money comes and goes. Respect lasts a lifetime," McHale told Frank Clancy of Sporting News near the end of Garnett's first season. "He's got the right attitude." It didn't take long for Garnett to earn this respect, as he explained to Esquire 's Mike Lupica early in 1997. "I think the way I've played, the way I've conducted myself, has done that…. All I ever heard from the first day was 'This is a man's league, kid.' The only way you can get them to treat you like a man is to play like a man."
Bank-Breaking Contract
In Garnett's second season, he was paired on the court with his old friend, point guard Stephon Marbury. With this combination, the Timberwolves had their best year in franchise history, making the playoffs for the first time ever. Garnett, the unquestioned star of the team, played in the All-Star game. So when he had the opportunity to sign a contract extension with the Timberwolves at the end of the season, the Timberwolves offered him $102 million over six years to stay. He refused, believing that in another year, when he would be a free agent, he would be able to make more. After weeks of negotiations, he finally re-signed for $126 million over six years.

This contract, the most lucrative ever, led to a fight between the NBA management and the players' union over the terms of player contracts, which led to a lockout that precluded a large portion of the 1998-99 season. Under the terms of the new agreement, contracts as large as Garnett's are now banned. However, Garnett and others who were grand fathered into the agreement will be able to sign contract renewals for 105 percent of their previous contract. This means that when Garnett's current contract expires, when he will be twenty-eight and presumably at the peak of his athletic prowess, he will be eligible to receive $28 million a season.
But "I don't play basketball for the money," Garnett told Sports Illustrated 's Michael Farber before the contract dispute. "I don't play it for the crowd. When I didn't have a friend, when I was lonely, I always knew I could grab that orange pill and go hoop. I could go and dunk on somebody. If things weren't going right, I could make a basket and feel better."
"I'm a battery"
Garnett has long been known for his enthusiasm for the game. Even when he was working out for a group of NBA coaches before the 1995 draft, he shouted as he demonstrated to them how high he could jump. By the end of the 1999-00 season, not only did he throw back his head and howl, he had his rookie teammate Wally Szczerbiak shouting as he ran down the court after making his shots. "Last summer, I couldn't get Wally to throw his fist in the air. Now this kid is going down, shaking his head like he's crazy," Garnett explained to Darryl Howerton of Sport. "I'm spreading." That's fine with Garnett, as he told Howerton. "I go crazy trying to energize people 'cause that's what I am. I'm a battery, you know? if you're down, you can plug into me and get charged up." Although Garnett, Szczerbiak, and the other energized Timberwolves have yet to win an NBA championship, fans remain hopeful that this still-young team will soon be able to go all the way.

Happy Halloween!
We had such a great response last year when we asked our friends on Facebook to help us decide which costume Lucky should wear for Halloween that we did it again this year! With all the adorable options out there, Shih Tzu Dad and I had a hard time narrowing it down to four choices (one for each #TooCuteTuesday in October). Thanks to everyone for liking the pictures and joining us in deciding which one Lucky should model this year. It was such a close race that we included our Twitter followers in the vote this time.
So which one is the winner?
Fireman! I think this was Lucky's favorite costume too (if he just HAD to pick) because it has the least annoying hat. As usual, Lucky was a great sport for letting us parade him around in multiple costumes and we hope you enjoyed seeing them and all the other #TooCuteTuesday pups on our Facebook page.
Hope all our friends have a fun and safe Halloween!

text: gimliori 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Here's the review! We were legally married at Dreams Tulum on Friday, December 4, 2009 at 3 PM. There were 44 people in our wedding group including 3 small children. Overall we had a fantastic wedding and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! Resort : Overall (9/10) Location (10/10) Dreams Tulum was everything we had hoped for and more! I loved the more remote location (it took us away from party central – playa and cancun) but playa was still accessible for those guests that wanted to pub crawl and such. It is about a 90 minute drive from cancun, so our driver stopped at local liquor store and we bought some dos equis to quench our thirst on the drive down. The resort is close to a couple of eco resorts and is only 5 minutes from the Tulum ruins. It's about a 40 minute drive to playa where we did some shopping along 5 avenue. Another bonus was we were last to be picked up for most tours and the first to be dropped off! Rooms (9/10) We had an Oceanfront room (#8240) which was located by the Seaside Grill and looked over our wedding site. The room was clean and nice, as was the other guests. I didn't hear any complaints from our guests about their rooms and they were located throughout the resort. The bed was a little uncomfortable but my DH thought it was great. If you don't like the pillows, you can also phone and substitute for a variety of types. The maid service seemed to come quite early in the morning but we just put the do not disturb light on (conveniently located by the bed) and then the room was cleaned for us after we left for the day. The turndown service was around 6 pm and they make the most amazing towel creatures! I really enjoyed them! Service (9/10) The service was fantastic for us! The hotel staff was very helpful whenever we had questions. We tipped the staff as we went and had no problems! Food (9/10) We ordered room service for breakfast most mornings (why turn down breakfast for 2 on your balcony!). Otherwise, it was the World Café which had a decent buffet selection. We alternated between the Seaside Grill and El Patio for lunch. We usually ordered from the front waiter and then ate at our beach chairs by the pool. Our favourite dinners were at Portofino and Himitsu. All the restaurants had good food! Beach (9/10) The beach was very nice and the sand was great. If you want to go for a long walk on the beach, we suggest going south and taking your sandals as it can get a little rough (not much though). Entertainment/Activities (8/10) Our group had an excellent time with all the pool activities they had going on! The children enjoyed the nearby ecoparks and the Explorers Club. The night entertainment was usually enjoyable. The fire dancers are amazing! Skip the magician show – it is quite horrendous. Wedding : Overall (9.5/10) Wedding Coordinator (10/10) Our wedding coordinator was Anabel and she was fantastic!!! We had our initial meeting with her where we went over the ceremony and reception, and the legalities (ours was a legal ceremony). I had brought pictures of previous dreams tulum weddings to help show her what I liked, and she took it from there. She even walked us around the resort to show us the cocktail and reception sites. Photographer/Videographer (9/10) We used the resort photographer (Filemon) and videographer. Filemon was fantastic! I was initially worried about the quality of the resort photographer after hearing some reviews from other brides but I wasn't willing to pay thousands of dollars to bring in another photographer when this one was included. Filemon took excellent pictures for us – we had a hard time narrowing them down (there was 210 to choose from) to 50 and ended up getting 55! The video is what we expected – pretty cheesy, but it's nice to be able to show people that couldn't make it down for the wedding footage of the ceremony. Our guests are sending us all the candid pictures of the wedding, so we will have more than enough pictures of the special day! Hair/Makeup (9/10) My hair turned out great as well. Trinidad did a great job with doing a creative bun! And I loved the flowers in my hair. My MOH and mother also loved what the girls did with their hair. My MOH and I also got our makeup done by the girls. I was initially worried because I don't usually wear a lot of makeup and it felt like a lot but the pictures turned out great – so they know what they are doing. Flowers (10/10) The flowers were fantastic for the bouquets, and the ones that lined the sand and on the gazebo. We had told Anabel that we wanted exotic and colourful and she exceeded our expectations! Music (9/10) We had rented the sound system for the ceremony and everyone was able to hear the music and our vows. We chose some flamenco guitar songs for the ceremony and we had the Caribbean Trio for cocktails (which the guests seemed to enjoy). We had an iPod playlist for our reception which only was able to be played till 9 PM (the ballroom has to be shutdown at that time unless you pay more). It didn't seem to bother our guests much as we headed to the Sugar Reef Bar and then on to the Disco. Ceremony Setup (10/10) The ceremony was on the beach beside the Seaside Grill and was beautiful. The ceremony time was at 3 PM but we waited a couple minutes as there is a giant turtle (mascot) that comes to the pool at 3 and does a dance with the staff everyday. It helped break the ice before I walked down the aisle! 3 PM was a good time as it gave us time for pictures afterwards and there wasn't a big lag until cocktails. I had colourful flowers lining the aisle and a large colourful flower arrangement in the center of the gazebo. We added purple fabric to the corners of the gazebo to contrast with the white tulle. The judge spoke in Spanish and Anabel translated in English. She quoted a Mexican philosopher which was a nice touch. We had to ink our thumbprint onto the marriage papers (as it was a legal ceremony). Good thing my MOH had a kleenex hidden in her hand for afterwards! Cocktails Setup (9/10) Cocktails was held on the terrace of the lobby and it was great. We had a good view of the resort and everyone was quite comfortable. For appetizers, we chose the mushroom stuffed with cream cheese with black truffle, smoked salmon on melba bread and shrimp with parsley on melba bread. All were fantastic! The Caribbean Trio was also great! Reception Setup (9/10) The reception was set up in the ballroom and it worked out well for us. We were able to eat with light and no wind! We had our iPod hooked up the to speakers for dinner music and it worked out well. The service was also very good. For dinner we chose: Appetizer – Portobello mushrooms with truffle mousse and mozzarella cheese Salad – Asparagus salad with Dijon mustard dressing Main Course – Surf & Turf (Mignon & shrimp with gravy sauce and melted butter) Dessert – Tiramisu The food was absolutely fantastic!!! Everyone was talking about it days afterwards. We picked Golden 03, a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and it was quite tasty. Anabel decorated the cake with flowers that matched the bouquet and it was very pretty. Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake – there wasn't much leftover at the end. Overall, we wouldn't have wanted our wedding any other way! All our guests told us that it was the best wedding that they had been to!

- Lamello Zeta P2 Biscuit Jointer in Systainer Case with Diamond Blade
The Zeta P2 is the second generation Zeta fitted with the new P-system depth adjuster. The Zeta offers more than the standard biscuit jointer, with an undercut function to allow for the fitting of special concealed Clamex P connectors that slide into the 'T' slot produced. The connector also clamps, so no additional clamping methods are required. Almost totally concealed, the only visible sign is a single 6mm hole, making it ideal for many applications such as furniture, shop fitting and exhibitions. It is also suitable for solid wood and man-made boards, overcoming many design issues.
Unique to Lamello, the jointer has a special vertical mechanical drive (VMD) engaging when the jointer is at full plunge, moving the cutter up and down in one full turn and only then disengaging to produce the 'T' slot to accept the special Clamex biscuit. The undercut function can be switched off and a 7mm slot will be produced; a 'Bisco' biscuit can then be used. Replace the special blade with a 4mm biscuit blade and use as a standard biscuit jointer. The new P-System depth adjuster has five settings for the ever growing range of Clamex connectors and when used with a standard biscuit jointing blade.
As with all Lamello products, design and build are of the highest quality. Other features include precise plunge with clear depth setting and jointer fences with flush sides to make positioning simple; the fence fits with 'V' grooves for accuracy and clear angle scale.
The jointer is supplied in a Systainer case with a special Diamond blade, assorted fittings, drill bit, drill stop collar, drill guide, suction adaptor and wooden box.

My favorite hobby/hobbies?
For my favorite hobby would have to be PC gaming, and I say this not because I get a ton of games for the PC but because I have three or four games that I enjoy playing with friends.
My favorite singer/song(s)?
That is a tough one but I'll have to say Ed Sheeran.
My favorite food?
Let's start off with saying I have eaten a plethora of foods from roasted lamb to grilled octopus caught from the Mediterranean Sea, but my favorite would have to be buffalo wings slathered with Tai "R" Cracker sauce from Quaker Steak and Lube.
My favorite movie?
That is easily "The Fault in our Stars", which I have just seen the 12th of June.
One thing people don't know about me?
This was a feat I'm proud of and it is back in between August 2011 and a year later in August 2012 I almost traveled enough miles to go around the world twice.
What have I learned from C.H.E.S.S I.S. L.I.F.E. and from playing chess?
I have learned a great deal of things from chess and Chess is Life! Not specifically chess moves like "The Curry", but instead the applications to life it has, hence the name Chess is Life. People may not agree with me but all you have to do is look and you shall find. Chess is about balance and that is one of the reasons grey is my favorite color. Life is balance and you will always see the white and black but it takes the most important tool that everyone who reads this has is logic and with logic you can see the grey. Application is everywhere and the only barricade in your way of seeing application is not thinking about it and not applying logic, and that is the tool that should be used 24/7. Chess is Life uses application to an extent not usually used, heck even Kasparov wrote a book about life and chess. Good bye and remember, apply the grey.

Lily Allen never wants to be called a 'feminist' because she doesn't think the word should exist in this day and age.
In fact, the outspoken singer 'hates' the word and believes it isn't necessary because 'everyone is equal'.
'Feminism. I hate that word because it shouldn't even be a thing anymore,' the 28-year-old said.
'We're all equal, everyone is equal. Why is there even a conversation about feminism? What's the man version of feminism? There isn't even a word for it. Menanism. Male-ism. It doesn't exist,' she told Shortlist magazine.
Meanwhile, the Hard Out Here singer is gearing up for her performance at this year's V Festival, sponsored by Virgin Media.
She will be joining headline acts Justin Timberlake and The Killers, plus Ed Sheeran, Paolo Nutini, Blondie, Bastille and Rudimental, with many more acts to be announced.
To celebrate the storming line-up Spotify have created a special playlist to get festival-goers excited for a huge weekend of music.
The V Festival 2014 Spotify Playlist features all acts announced so far, and includes hits by Sam Smith and Jason Derulo.
V Festival takes place 16 and 17 August at Hylands Park Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire and tickets are available from Vfestival.com.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am.

At this juncture, only a sudden sharp upside reversal that hurdles and sustains above $31.70 will neutralize my still-bearish near-term outlook for silver and the iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV).
Silver Wheaton (SLW), too, is on the defensive, and also still points lower, into an optimal target zone of 23.75 to 22.00 prior to my expectation of a significant intermediate-term low, followed by a powerful new bull leg in its longer-term bull trend.
At this juncture, only a rally that hurdles 32.00 will neutralize my current outlook.

Launched little bit over 2 years earlier, the existing Malibu is not exactly what we would call an old car. In reality it is among the much better automobiles in its class with sufficient area inside and among the very best set of driving qualities around. Regardless of that it appears an upgrade is on its method with the upcoming 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. GM didn't verify this modification right now however a camouflaged model has actually currently been seen screening on the open roadway. It appears like the car will get a little facelift and it might get a couple of enhancements inside the cabin too. Things will remain primarily the very same under the hood however Chevrolet might constantly amaze us with upgrades.
2019 Chevrolet Malibu Review
The brand-new car will still be based upon the exact same E2XX architecture as previously. This enables it to weigh less than 3,500 pounds in all of its variations while being simply as big as a complete size sedan. In truth with more than 111 inches of wheelbase and an overall length near 194 inches, the Malibu needs to be among the greatest cars in its class by an excellent margin.
Fortunately though it uses almost ideal percentages with an actually broad however low body that makes it appear smaller sized than it actually is. The price of the brand-new model hasn't been exposed right now however it appears it might cost the like previously. Regardless of that it appears a brand-new trim level, and perhaps a brand-new engine, may be contributed to the variety which would drive the price of the car up.
Very little has actually been exposed about the cabin of the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu as much as this point. Nevertheless it is safe to presume that, a minimum of in regards to style, very little is going to alter. The control panel is most likely going to boast the exact same style plan as prior to which is just natural thinking about how brand-new the Malibu is.
There may be some brand-new functions though. The OnStar 4G LTE system might end up being a basic offering throughout the variety while products such as the cordless phone-charging system or perhaps the automated headlights might be included as basic on the mid-spec designs. Some recommended the car might get a brand-new infotainment system however this hasn't been validated right now. We do anticipate very little upgrades, such as a brand-new app community, however that must be it.
The greatest modification that will occur with the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu is absolutely going to be the method it looks. The camouflaged model seen a brief while back was totally covered. Nevertheless, it appears that it had actually more camouflaged in the front and at the back. The majority of the car's body appeared to be primarily the same from the existing generation.
In the front though the modifications are a bit more apparent. For beginners, the upper grille now appears not just bigger however it appears to extend down by a fair bit. Since of that the lower grille is now narrower however it appears to be broader.
The headlights likewise appear brand-new however most likely the only modification are the internals. The back of the brand-new Malibu does not appear all that various from its predecessor. The car still has the exact same broad tail lights as previously so the only genuine modification needs to be the LED cluster inside the tail light.
Release date and Price
The ninth generation of Malibu was presented in 2016, so the model sporting dark camouflage is a mid-cycle refresh. This was understood, due to the fact that of that how the market works. With finding of tests mules getting more regular, we can inform that the model will not require to long to be finished. Anticipate for it to be launched early in 2018, as 2019 MY. The very first designs in dealers will be offered from spring months of the exact same year.
As far as the price goes, it should not be altered. The primary factor is that Malibu sales are dropping. The United States car manufacturer will not run the risk of excessive with increasing the expense. 2019 Chevrolet Malibu price must stay the exact same.
With cosmetic modifications which loom, the car would have more possibilities of bring in brand-new and reviving old clients. The present gen Malibu begins at $22,555 for L trim; LS is $24,100; LT is $26,000; Malibu Hybrid is priced at $28,750, and at the back we have Premier which opts for $31,850.
Engine and Specs
The base model will still include a 1.5 liter turbo-four engine. This ought to still benefit around 160 horse power and 184 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid is most likely going to remain too with a combined output of 182 horse power and approximately 277 lb-ft of torque.
While the base engine will feature a 6 speed automated, the hybrid will get a CVT in order to optimize fuel intake. The range-topping cars will get the 2.0 liter turbo-four LTG engine which is presently great for 250 horse power and 260 lb-ft of torque.
This is presently mated to a 9 speed automated and things should not alter for the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu either. It appears that GM's 1.6 liter turbocharged diesel may be contributed to the variety also.
This is simply a report at this moment however it would provide the Malibu well over 40 MPG on the highway. The only issue we see is the hybrid which is simply as excellent in regards to fuel performance while using more power than the diesel and most likely at a lower price too.

Gia, the next Coppola in line, on adapting Palo Alto and being her own Coppola
By: Rob Boylan
Like the Kennedys in politics or the Mannings in football, film has its own dynasty in the form of the Coppola family. Along with the Hustons, the Coppolas are the only family in Oscar history to have three generations of winners. Together, the family owns 8 statues (double the Hustons' 4), spread across Carmine, Francis, Sofia and Nicolas Cage, with a combined 24 nominations. And now there is a new generation starting to wade out into the world being spearheaded by Gia Coppola and her film Palo Alto.
But when I ask her about growing up in a dynasty over the phone, the tenor of conversation shifts. "I mean, I don't know any other way of living. It's very normal," she says with a slight sense of frustration growing in her voice. "I have such an appreciation for my family and their movies. I've learned so much from them just growing up on their movie sets, but at the same time I wanted to grow and face my own challenges.
"[But Palo Alto] was made through James's production company [instead of American Zoetrope], so it was really important for me to do this on my own and find my own voice."
The James in that sentence is James Franco, whose book of short stories was adapted by Coppola for the screen, and who also co-stars as the charming-creepy girls soccer coach, Mr. B.
The stories are somewhat separate in the book, but have been combined by Coppola to form a rotisserie of angst, alienation, abuse and ennui where bad decisions and drugs abound for the loosely affiliated group of friends, April (Emma Roberts), Teddy (Jack Kilmer), Fred (Nat Wolff) and Emily (Zoe Levin).
April and Teddy make up much of the film's focus. They are mutual crushes, but because of crossed wires neither realizes it and both look elsewhere for someone to love them back. That leads them down different paths, but both of them only find emotional landmines in their way.
April is the sensitive soul who puts on a nonchalant front, who smokes and drinks because she wouldn't fit in otherwise. Even with that front, she doesn't really fit in. She flits from group to group searching for a comfortable niche to fit into, but never really finds anything but a parody of comfort when Mr. B begins to take an interest in her as more than Coach.
Teddy is more sensitive than the rest as well, but its to a more skewed degree than April. He is sensitive and still childlike — in one piece of the film he dreams of being in a wolf suit, playing an anguished Max from Where the Wild Things Are — but he stops a few steps short of April's sensitive nature. Even with a loving family at home, his front goes a few steps beyond when Teddy crashes his car while drunk and flees the scene.
"James's book is dark at times. I tried to make certain things a little hopeful, but I also knew I didn't want to totally change it … That stuff does go on and life is dark sometimes." Things do seem darker of late, kids more wired than I remember. "I don't think emotions change," she says when I ask if kids are under more pressure to succeed than when she or I were their age. "Its kind of an organic thing that we all go through where we're physically and hormonally changing. It feels really heavy."
It makes me wonder if a film can be too organic though. In my head I can counter the idea that the film meanders or doesn't find its dramatic ending by telling myself that teenagers meander and only have dramatic endings if they die. If being a teenager weren't intensely boring, it wouldn't lead to drinking or seeing which drug is the most fun to abuse the hell out of. The fact that teenagers need something else to make them more interesting maybe means that films about teenagers need something else to make them as interesting as they can be. Maybe not always as extreme a basketball playing wolfman, but something. In that sense, Palo Alto only manages to get to third base. As an audience, it's a good time but we keep our underwear on.
Nobody makes a perfect first film though. To harp on the family angle again for a moment, neither Dementia 13 nor The Virgin Suicides were perfect either. It takes a minute to learn the rules of the game and how to bend them to your will to make the picture you want to make. To distinguish yourself in the T-Rex-sized footprints of such a famous family can't be an easy task, but on the other hand, who would bet against a Coppola?

A method is proposed for the construction of a square pixel complex spatial light modulator (SLM) from a commercial oblong full-high-definition (full-HD) amplitude SLM using an anamorphic optical filter. In the proposed scheme, one half-band of the optical Fourier transform of the amplitude-only spatial light field is rejected in the optical Fourier plane and the other half-band is reformatted to be an effective complex SLM with square pixels. This has an advantage in the viewing window plane since the shape of the viewing window becomes square and more ideal for observers who watch the hologram contents through it. For optimal transformation, the amplitude computer generated hologram encoding scheme was developed. Mathematical modeling of the proposed system is described herein, and it was experimentally demonstrated that the effective complex SLM displays complex holographic three-dimensional images with a clear depth discrimination effect.

Babita Guman was the type who "doesn't back down," said her husband, Deodat Guman. When a fellow shopper at a market once told her to go back to her country, Mrs. Guman, 33, threw the question back at her. "Why don't you go back to your country?" she asked.
A native of Guyana who moved to the United States as a teenager, Mrs. Guman was a smart, aggressive and flag-waving American who also took charge at home in the Bronx, said her husband and father of her two daughters, ages 6 and 7. "Most guys would say they're the men of the house, but my wife did everything," said Mr. Guman, a bus driver for New York City Transit. "She cooked, she cleaned, she paid the bills. I just went to work and came back."
Mrs. Guman was a computer specialist at Fiduciary Trust Company International on the 97th floor of 2 World Trade Center, but she was about to take a test to become a schoolteacher, Mr. Guman said. Two weeks before the attacks, Mr. Guman took his wife and the girls fishing for the first time. Mrs. Guman, of course, caught a fish. It took Mr. Guman a little longer to catch his, but as he noted to his daughters, "I ended up catching the big one."
Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on October 13, 2001.
Babita's spirit will always live through her daughters. This I know because she raised them to be exactly like her. Her husband will never forget the face that he fell in love with some 16 years ago. Her daughters will never forget their mother that loved them with all her heart. Her mother will never forget the intelligent daughter that she raised. Her sisters will never forget her always being there for them. The entire family and friends of Babita will never forget her, for she was a soft, gentle, warm-hearted intellectual who was always willing to help others, and she did this just by her sweet smile.

Sometimes I want to shout from the rooftops just how amazing our staff is when it comes to caring for our patients. One of our Hospice Care Assistants recently came into my office grinning from ear-to-ear to show me a photo she had taken. Now, this was not just any old ordinary picture. This was a special picture because it was of a Christmas wish come true for one of our patients. You see, this sweet little lady had shared with her nurse, social worker and HCA that she had not had a Christmas tree in a very long time and how much she would love to have some flowers during the holidays. So, what did our team do? They went straight to work, much like Santa's little helpers. They gathered up their three poinsettias, which had been provided to them as a gift from another of "Santa's Elves" here at Hospice of Marshall County – Shepherd's Cove (Shepherd's Cove Hospice), and the patient's social worker donated a Christmas tree! All of these items were promptly delivered to our sweet little patient. She was absolutely thrilled to have the Christmas tree, stating, "This is the first tree I have had in a long time!" and she was so happy to receive the bright red poinsettias — her "flowers for the holiday" — to bring even more holiday cheer to her home.
It is amazing, sometimes, how the simple things can make such a huge difference in the lives of others — something as simple as a poinsettia and a Christmas tree. But for the staff of Shepherd's Cove Hospice, it was about making a difference. It was about a life touching a life. It was about a servant's heart.
As we enter into this joyous season, may we always remember the little things are what matter the most. It is not our presents, but rather our presence, that makes a difference to those we serve.

Ordering was easy, shipping was quick, component quality is top notch and they are hell of BEEFY! Will definitely be ordering more bits for my build
Toyota 8 inch Front Axle Bottom Skid Plate
The product is awesome and direct fit for early Toyota axles. I bought this for my '93 Toyota and with a little pressure from a press, it fits perfect. Maybe Ballistic could just make it for different generations of Toyota's versus a buy and modify?

7 July 2017
A joint action day on 19 June in France and Romania led to 23 arrests (13 in France and 10 in Romania) for suspected involvement in a human trafficking ring and participation in a criminal organisation.
In 2011, French police became aware of thefts committed on the Metro in and around Paris by young adult and underage Romanian nationals. The level of these crimes peaked in 2015 and 2016, when France hosted very large international events (the Paris Climate Change Conference (CPO 21) and the Euro football competition).
Young potential thieves, belonging to family clans from Iasi and Roman in Romania, were regularly trafficked from Romania to France. The thieves reside in one building in Saint-Denis, and are supervised by adult organisers. Every morning, between 6:00 to 10:00, groups of children and young adults leave the building to commit crimes on the Metro.
The action was led in France by the Brigade for the protection of minors of Paris, conducted by an investigative judge, and in Romania by the Directorate for Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism, Iasi Territorial Office, and Brigade for Combating Organized Crime, as well as Border Police Iasi. Of the 39 suspects identified, 31 are minors. The value of the stolen goods is estimated at approximately EUR 600 000 since 2011.
Preparations for the action day were made possible by the signing of a joint investigation team (JIT) agreement between France and Romania, funded and supported by Eurojust.

Have you ever experienced this? That feeling of confusion when you are in a situation where someone you really love and care for is involved in a somewhat unpleasant situation and wants you to stand beside him or her? Do you try to be objective and actually try to ascertain who is wrong and who is right in such a situation? Or do you just say to yourself "So what if my friend maybe wrong, I will support him or her any way"?
It is indeed a very difficult situation. I think there is actually no wrong or right here. Whatever you do, you stand to lose in some way or the other. If you support your friend knowing that he/she is not right, you are not being true to your values and if you do not support him/her, you might end up feeling guilty for not standing by someone you really care for.
I have faced this kind of a situation very recently and it made me question what kind of a person I really am. A friend of mine was involved in some kind of business transaction and the other person was making unusual demands. Again, I did not whole-heartedly support the condiions that my friend was talking about. But, the other person was being very assertive (and let's say quarrelsome). My friend though usually a very eloquent speaker and more than competent of taking care of himself, was unwell that day and not able to argue his point. Now, I am generally a very easy-going person but I don't know why I just jumped into the argument and taking my friend's side, I more or less blasted the other person. Both of them were rendered speechless because it was the last thing they expected me to do. Anyways, let's just say that I won the argument on behalf of my friend.
But, later on, I just could not help thinking to myself why I did it. Maybe it was a feeling of being protective of the people I care about, maybe it was the fact that I felt there was an imbalance in the situation due to my friend's incapacity to defend himself, or maybe it was just a momentary case of insanity on my part. It could be anything. But here's the pertinent question that made me lose sleep for quite some time: How far would I really go to protect the people I care about? How far would you?

Summertime travel on Ga. 284/Clarks Bridge Road is about to get a little tricky for some motorists.
Beginning May 27, Ga. 284 from Clermont south to the Lake Lanier Olympic Venue will be closed to through traffic, allowing for construction of an underground pedestrian tunnel at the venue.
The road segment is set to reopen by July 26, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Ga. 284's grade must be raised by 3 feet to accommodate the new concrete tunnel, which will be 10 feet wide, 8 feet high and 63 feet long.
"Traffic cannot continue to flow in as crews change the grade" and build the tunnel, stated a DOT news release issued Wednesday.
Motorists will be able to reach the venue by traveling north on Ga. 284 from U.S. 129/Limestone Parkway, as the bridge will remain open. To access the parking and boat ramps at Clarks Bridge Park, vehicles must travel Ga. 284 northbound.
The DOT's detour route has been set, involving Ga. 284, U.S. 129/Cleveland Highway and Ga. 52/Brookton-Lula Road.
The road closure is taking place in the summer so as not to affect school travel, DOT district spokeswoman Teri Pope said.
Venue director Morgan House said he didn't "see any problems at all" with the road change.
"It might be a little inconvenient for people coming in from the north, but it's really not going to be a big deal," he said. "The overall outcome of the project is going to greatly outweigh all the inconveniences that we may have to go through for a few weeks."
The tunnel "is going to make a huge difference for when we hold large events," House said. "When we have a large number of athletes going back and forth from the tower to the boathouse side, now we'll no longer have to have a police officer there directing traffic.
"That will greatly reduce the slowing of traffic jams during our events. Safety is the big thing."
The other big attraction off Clarks Bridge Road is Don Carter State Park, which is at 5000 N. Browning Bridge Road, north of the venue.
Will Wagner, park manager, said the park already directs out-of-area visitors, particularly those in large vehicles such as RVs, to take Ga. 365 to Ga. 52.
"That's a significant number of our guests," he said. "Another large chunk is coming from (northern counties), so it won't affect them."
Day users from Gainesville and other places south of the park will have to find another route than Ga. 284 northbound.
"Whenever there's change such as this, it will affect us a little bit," Wagner said, "but it's nothing that has really concerned us too much, as we've known about it since before the park opened (last summer)."
The tunnel construction is part of a larger $8.7 million project that involves replacing Clarks Bridge, which was built in 1958 and, officials have said, does not meet current design standards.
Drilling has started on the 10th and 11th of 12 caissons for the bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River, which feeds into Lanier, "but with rain expected (today, we're) probably not pouring until next week," Pope said.
The caissons — 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 feet in diameter — are being drilled down to bedrock, or depths up to 110 feet. Once secured, they will be connected by a horizontal structure.
When completed, the new bridge will have 12-foot lanes and an 8-foot shoulder in each direction.
The project is set for completion by Dec. 31, 2015.

Salmonella typhimurium outbreak sickens 388
Jan 07, 2009
I'll be chatting about this on KGO810AM radio in the SF Bay area at 4:13pm today ( http://bayradio.com/kgo_archives/61700.mp3 will have the recording sometime after they upload it at 5pm (it's the archive of 4pm-5pm):
Since September 2008, 388 across 42 states have become sick with Salmonella typhimurium and 18% (around 70 folks) have had to go to the hospital. The CDC has yet to track down the cause, and has pulled staff from other work to devote to looking for it. You may remember the peppers from Mexico that caused the last outbreak.
Salmonella usually causes an illness with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and cramping, within 8 to 72 hours of eating the contaminated food. In most cases it goes away by itself, but if you're really sick for more than 2 days with more than 6 stools a day with high fever you may need to see your doctor, especially if the stools are bloody, you're dehydrated, or have abdominal pain.
The fortunate thing for you is that by good habits and wise eating you can avoid the risk of catching this illness. Carefully wash hands and cooking utensils & use alcohol-based hand rubs frequently when preparing raw eggs, poultry or other meats. Cook meats and eggs thoroughly. Do not eat raw milk products (such as raw milk or raw cheeses). Wash raw fruits and vegetables before consuming. Keep raw foods in a separate part of your refrigerator. Cook raw food from animal sources to a safe internal temperature: ground beef 160ºF (71ºC); chicken 170ºF (77ºC); turkey 180ºF (82ºC); pork 160ºF (71ºC). Don't leave cooked foods at room temperature for more than two hours (one hour if the room temperature is above 90ºF/32ºC).
Probiotics can be helpful if taken in the first 2 days of being sick. Antibiotics are usually not needed and can make things worse.
Antidiarrheal medications
Medications to reduce diarrhea can help if there is no fever (temperature greater than 100.3ºF or 38ºC) and the stools are not bloody. These medications do not cure diarrhea, but decrease your frequency of bowel movements.
Loperamide (Imodium®) is available over the counter; the dose is two tablets (4 mg) initially, then 1 tablet (2 mg) after each unformed stool. No more than 16 mg is recommended per day.
Diphenoxylate (Lomotil®) requires a prescription; its benefit is similar to loperamide, although it can cause constipation since it's so strong.
Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol®, Kaopectate®) is not as effective as loperamide. Bismuth subsalicylate can help patients with fever and bloody diarrhea. However, women who are pregnant should not take bismuth subsalicylate. The dose of bismuth subsalicylate is 30 mL or two tablets every 30 minutes for up to eight doses.

Oh great... another outbreak ! = |
Here are some tips that can help reduce or eliminate bacteria and/or viruses on your fruits & vegetables:
, Jan 10, 2009
My liver and HepC meds can cause side effects similar to those of Salmonella poisoning. So I never really know when I get it. However, I practice the habits you mentioned doctor. Thanks for the info.
The most important tip for immune compromised people: Wash your hands in warm water with anti-bacterial soap and alcohol-based hand cleaners all day and every day! I spent most of 2008 in the hospital for bacterial and parasite infections. Hospitals are NOT fun and you can catch staff infections in those places.
, Jan 11, 2009
I got Salmonella in April of 2008, and became mighty ill. I was stunned at the number of hours health professionals spent with me trying to determine the cause. Since contacting it, I'm much more careful about washing hands, vegetables, eggs, you name it, I don't want it again. It was never determined what caused it, but I think I know... chicken. I used to be careless about handling it, not any more. Because of high cholesterol and subsequent heart attacks and stents I eat very little red meat, lots of chicken and fish and when I get a good buy I freeze up portions, and that's what I think happened, I didn't clean up very well.
Today I use alcohol based hand washes constantly, at the gym, at home, everywhere. I also use a diluted bleach spray on cooking/food prep surfaces. A week in the hospital made me very careful not to get it again.
, Jan 12, 2009
Hi Flycaster305,
I hope you will try one of these tricks to wash your vegetables and fruits. I do the first one. What is great is both of these vegetable sprays are very inexpensive and easy to make.
Trick # 1 --- In a spray bottle, mix 50% water with 50% white, distilled vinegar. Add 1 Tablespoon of baking soda (watch the explosion... LOL!) and you can also add 15 drops of grapeseed oil to the mix. Spray on your fruits and/or vegetables and then rinse off.
Trick # 2 --- First, spray your vegetables and/or fruit with white, distilled vinegar. Next, spray 3% of hydrogen peroxide on your veggies. (DO NOT MIX THEM.... IT IS NOT SAFE) Next, rinse off under running water. University tests show that this technique killed more potentially lethal bacteria, including Salmonella, Shigella, and even E. coli, than chlorine bleach or any commercially available kitchen cleaner.
It looks like PEANUT BUTTER could be the culprit with this latest salmonella outbreak:
, Jan 21, 2009
Peanut Butter Product Recall (Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak):
"Note: This list includes food products subject to recall in the United States since January 2009 related to peanut butter and peanut paste recalled by Peanut Corporation of America. This list will be updated as new information is received. This information is current as of the date indicated. Once included, all food recalls will remain listed. If we learn that any information is not accurate, we will revise the list as soon as possible."
, Jan 21, 2009
I heard about this in the news and it being tied to peanut butter.... I'm going to check PG's link.
, Feb 03, 2009
Why does it seem like there is a scandal behind every big news story ?
Firm tied to salmonella ran unlicensed Texas plant
, Jun 01, 2011
I came down with Salmonella newport strain C2 0149, in 11/2010, I was in the hospital for 3days, I was told that if I had waited one more day to seek help, I wouldn't be here now to talk about it.I wash my food ,my hands, hand washing is a must , washing all counters is a must. But the funny things no one but me came down with it, that live in my home any way. I would like to know more about this strain of salmonella.So if anyone has any info on this, I would love to hear about. thank you. Linda

Manage nuclear power station maintenance by minimising the outage time for each unit in operation while ensuring maximum safety? This is the challenge EDF trusted us to tackle thanks to our 17 years' experience in producing pressurisation-specific tools.
We developed an innovative semi-automatic tool which keeps circuits pressurised while disconnected during unit outages. This prevents damage to the systems and ensures that they can be quickly put back into operation, saving precious time for EDF.
A project manager and two technicians designed this new type of tool in four months. We then called on our network of certified partners who specialise in electricity and automatic control to produce the tool. We were able to deliver an original comprehensive solution.
The tool was delivered, tested, approved... and adopted. EDF was so impressed with our solution that they ordered a set of 18 machines to equip all their nuclear power stations in operation in France. ABMI teams are proud to have contributed, at their level, to improving the safety of French nuclear power stations.

Offering a Digital Dining Experience is Now Table Stakes for Restaurants
It certainly is no secret that people across all demographic categories have transformed their day-to-day activities through the use of digital technologies, especially via the smartphone. For those of us keeping tabs on the restaurant industry, we have further validation of just how impactful this digitalization, especially the mobile-centric variety, is on the consumer and their overall dining journey.
According to our most recent survey-based research report, Restaurant Digital Crossroads: The Race to Meet Guest Expectations, an ever increasing number of restaurant guests, especially Millennials, are using their mobile devices at each and every point of their dining experience.
Similar to our friends in the broader retail industry, restaurant operators are witnessing rapid growth in the digital expectations of their customers, who don't just want, but expect, a broad range of digital-driven capabilities as part of their guest experience. As guest expectations for digital-driven dining continue to rise, all those responsible for delivering a successful guest experience – whether they are a restaurant brand, a franchisee, or independent operator – must rapidly adopt new digital technologies to enhance the entire dining journey.
The ENTIRE digital journey? Absolutely. The role of digital engagement is now firmly implanted in every single step of that journey, starting well before and ending well after the actual restaurant visit. Pre-meal research is a habit across all generations and demographics, especially for discovering new restaurant choices and selecting fine dining options. Digital ordering (whether from home, by app or at the restaurant) is a growing expectation while sharing results of dining experiences with friends via social media is a new form of entertainment. These expanded engagement areas shine a light on how restaurant operators need to think about the entire lifecycle of a guest's dining experience – including how the intersection of restaurant operations, existing processes and legacy IT platforms need to quickly transform to support these new data-driven demands and influence needs.
As we noted (and not unexpectedly), Millennials are leading and driving this charge by using digital devices to enhance their dining experience over half the time (53%). Specific measures of their digital activities include:
- 60% research where and what to eat
- 51% check ratings/reviews while in a restaurant
- 23% share pictures and content during and after the visit.
It's not a secret that the dining journey has radically changed, as have guest expectations of what makes a great dining experience. Digital-driven influences are no longer at the periphery of the dining experience, as they influence 40% of all dining visits.
Simply said, they are required tickets to entry.
Therefore, embedding a wide array of full digital dining capabilities – everything from social engagement to guest WiFi to flexible ordering options, and real-time and personalized guest promotions – should be part of every restaurant's strategic DNA.

Today is a bittersweet day in the City of Cohoes as we bear witness to the closing of one of our businesses in the City of Cohoes. There is a pinch of sadness as Barb Hildreth closes the doors of Beauknits LTD today but at the same time there is a twinge of happiness as Barb is celebrating her second retirement which one can appreciate. For those who do not know, Barb's husband John retired over a month ago and they are now setting out on the next chapter of their life.
Far being it for me to tell Barb's story…..you can read it here. Suffice it to say Beauknits was more than a going concern and was not only a place to buy yarn and learn how to knit but also a place to socialize, have fun and laugh to your hearts desire. What Barb, and her sidekick Pat Sweeney provided was not only a place to buy a commodity but more importantly a place where one could not only learn a skill but also develop friendships and relationships.
Beaunkits is another example of our owner occupied businesses and we celebrate their six years in business in Cohoes and wish nothing but the best to Barb and John in their retirement (although I have already been advised that Barb will continue to remain very active in our business groups and of course her church).
Stop in today and say "See Ya Later"!
