New law waiving fees for military veterans in effect
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation encourages military veterans, who have been honorably discharged within the past 24 months, to apply for a new licensure fee waiver available through the department.
The department now has the ability to waive initial licensure fees for military veterans under a new law that passed during the 2012 Legislative session. The waivers could save veterans anywhere from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars, depending on the license type.
Through House Bill No. 517, the initial license fee, initial application fee and initial unlicensed activity fee will be waived for veterans returning from service, provided the veteran applies for licensure within 24 months of being honorably discharged
The law will apply to new licenses granted for more than 20 professions under the department's jurisdiction, including construction, real estate, certified public accountants and cosmetologists.
The waiver can be downloaded from the department's military services webpage at www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/dbprmilitary.html and should be included in applications for professional licensure.

Would Glass-Steagall make things slightly better? Sure. But the next time someone says that it is the ultimate solution, think again.
A true classic of the straw-man form from Sorkin, here. He spends an entire column arguing against the people arguing for the return of Glass-Steagall. But then he concedes that the return of Glass-Steagall would actually be a good thing. He just doesn't like people saying that it's "the ultimate solution". Except, he doesn't name any such person. Grr.

Sorry for butting in here but I'd strongly suggest you get more info..and check travel costs.. Obviously she needs to cover all related expenses.
I shot a resort. When I delivered the images and the invoice, the client handed me a bill.
She said, "This is your bill for you and your assistant's rooms, meals and expenses."
It was here that I explained that the bid mentioned that all those expenses were to be covered by the client.. (her) .
I explained that I'd pay her invoice but I'd send her an additional one plus the 10% markup to cover those expenses.
That's when she said, "Oh." and took back the invoice.
Thank you for this.
I've only done one but I was already going to be at the wedding, her makeup artist backed out last minute, so I just did it and priced her my normal rate.
I've always wondered how to price per day and travel.

From angry to awesome: an AirBNB experience
One of the things I've always dreaded is calling customer service. We've all been there at one point or another: sitting on the phone, gnashing our teeth as agents pass us from one person to the next, or worst of all, being told that there is just nothing that can be done. The company, of course, is just not at fault. *cue sad trombone*
Then came the era of social media. Like many people, I've had some magical moments thanks to social media. Whenever I am frustrated with something or another, I instinctively bust out my phone and share my experience. It's cathartic, it's satisfying, and best of all, companies are learning to care and responding.
And in that vulnerable, emotional moment of frustration… it's amazing how a simple acknowledgement can assuage even the most ruffled feathers.
All of this initial rambling is to share another recent customer service experience. My fiance and I got engaged last year, and we decided to host our wedding festivities in Napa. A priority of ours was to find a place that was comfortable and close to the church in St. Helena. We searched high and low and considered several options.
Then we found the perfect solution on AirBNB. There was an adorable cottage in Yountville up for renting, and it was the perfect size for my bridesmaids and me to spend the night and get ready before the big day. The plan was that after the wedding, my fiance and I would spend husband and wife together there as well and then the day after our wedding have guests over for coffee and pastries.
I was so ecstatic. I had been stressing over the perfect location and I had found it. With prices in Napa usually being incredibly steep and hard to swallow, it was like AirBNB was an answer from a travel deity high above. After booking, I sent an email immediately to my bridesmaids and my family. I patted myself on the back, and I was even more excited for the big day.
Fast forward to three months before my wedding. There, in my inbox, was a cancellation notice for my reservation.
We had already told our friends, booked a limo to pick us up from the house, and told all of our guests to stop by that location the day after our wedding. Suddenly we were stuck without a house and we had to scramble - fast - to find a replacement during the peak season in Napa. My diligence in booking a place more than a year in advance was for naught.
I was frustrated, angry, and just wanted to vent. I took to Twitter, and immediately got a response. Eve, the customer service representative that was tasked with helping me, sent a detailed email outlining my options. I could rebook, or I could get a refund. She sent over alternatives, but none that fit the criteria that I needed.
I shot off a quick reply:
Hi Eve,
Thanks for your email. Although I know it's not within the control of AirBnB, I just find myself in an extremely frustrating position. Not only did I purposefully book this more than a year ago because I knew we are getting married at peak season and all of our options now are extremely pricey — we also had several other plans in place when we had this location locked down. There are also no other alternatives that currently match what we need on AirBnB (and we're forced to pay close to $200 a night extra for our other options).
It's unfortunate that this happened and definitely a lesson learned. Although AirBnBis great for some circumstances, in this case the owner and service really did (pardon my french) f*** us over royally.
Just venting my anger and frustration.
Hi Shay,Thanks so much for the honest feedback. I can't even begin to imagine your frustration and devastation. We know this cancellation is a huge disappointment for you, your fiance, and your bridal party. However, we want your big day to be incredible and not overshadowed by this bump in the road. If it would make it easier for you to find a new place to stay for the three nights on Airbnb, we are willing to pitch in an extra $1000 towards the rebooking.I know you mentioned that you'd prefer a full refund, but think this over and let me know what you'd like to do. I look forward to hearing back from you.Warmly,Eve
Now, I'm not saying that the solution to every problem is to send a gift (if only that were possible!)…but really, what made this awesome was that I thought nothing would have been done. Not only did someone actually, in fact, care … they treated me like a person, not just a faceless, upset customer to be swept under the rug.
They took to heart that I was using their service as a big part of a momentous occasion in my life, and they did what they could to fix my situation…and to recognize that it was important.
It was an amazing next step taken by AirBNB, and I am 100% confident in booking with them again and will recommend the site to friends and family because I know AirBNB has my back.
Thanks Eve from AirBNB! You've earned my gratitude and my travel loyalty.

I have a new Catcher in the Rye
December 21, 2013
It is with so much delight that I'm announcing David Sedaris's Barrel Fever as my new Catcher in the Rye. This is great news for me, for you, and for my very, very few friends. Congratulations, everyone, we no longer have to suffer the Holden Caulfield affectation, a spectacular achievement in execution failure though it may have been. I've also just finished David Shields and Shane Salerno's 'Salinger' and read with great interest the Assassination section, specifically Mark David Chapman's, and I'm symbolically cowering in shame for being guilty of the same crime as him: overlooking the humanity behind Holden's profanity-laden but sobering view of humankind. My misreading, though, is not as total as MDC's. My love for Holden stemmed (yes, stemmed) from his unfamiliarity with his own person (yes, person) the loveliness of which I feel strapped itself to my very own unfamiliarity with mine. We didn't/don't know the world, our place in it, and that was lovely in a movie, literary setting kind of way, but in your late 20s, not knowing your place in the world is just infuriating. Yes, I've already proclaimed freedom from the clutches of JD Salinger's penetrating worldview, but if Mariah Carey can proclaim emancipation three times, why shouldn't I?
When JD Salinger died, I rushed to Fully Booked and bought a hardcover Catcher in the Rye because I'm not the kind who idolize properly and sensibly. I might be sick with a disease characterized by uncontrollable urges to spend on things as a sad gesture of undying admiration. I might be suffering from a kind of psychological disorder that does not let me rest until I physically own something of the worship-figure. The easiest, most obvious explanation would be that I am a goddamned fool.
With Barrel Fever, there can never be a misreading, a misinterpretation, not even a silly attempt to embody a persona of an esteemed literary character. Maybe one: Adolph Heck, named after history's most vicious imposer of viciousness, in the collection's funniest story, Barrel Fever. A mother naming her son Adolph is guaranteed a slayer of me. I love Adolph and his mother. I love that Adolph's sisters are named Faith, Hope, Joy and Charity. I love how he mocks his friend who once was his closest ally in mocking the mockable but who now has clung to nice persons.
Barrel Fever has become essential reading, a warder of the blues, a pair of shades in a dessert storm, a pair of truly dependable earbuds for Metro Manila life, a pair of balls in your ballsless days, etc. A Barrel Fever is a best friend.
Each reading of Barrel Fever for me is fresh. Sometimes I want to live in it and lap up the freshness.
If one day you find yourself in the pages of a Barrel Fever-like publication authored by myself, and you feel like pressing charges for character defamation because you Feel like I have cruelly borrowed and repackaged one of your least attractive characteristics and turned it into a bestseller, I'm sorry but I'm not sorry. If you decide to press charges, sue me for libel, you will find me in court carrying a tattered copy of Barrel Fever, with the words, 'This is my statement!' scribbled beside blurbs that proclaim it as 'breathtakingly irreverent'. 'This is my statement!' — the very words written in Mark David Chapman's copy of Catcher in the Rye, a piece of woeful evidence that was brought to court for the trial of the crime of gunning down one of the world's most famous Beatle, 1/4 of Mariah Carey's Billboard Hot 100 nemesis, John Lennon. I do not ever wish to reach the same level of insanity but there is a need for me to make friends with things whose reason for existing is to supply me with joy.
I may have already confessed an attachment for this Sedaris book, and even though the retelling of this attachment seems to go against what Adolph Heck feels about saying the same thing twice: '…nothing gets on my nerves more than someone repeating the same phrase twice. I think it's something people have picked up from television, this emotional stutter. Rather than say something interesting once, they repeat a cliche twice and hope for the same effect,' I feel it's a necessary retelling. This is my statement!
Ke$ha tore through my classiness
November 2, 2013
If I had ever thought or said before that Ke$ha is not a pop star worthy of my time, whose album I won't even bother to steal from the Internet, I have Gawker to thank and all those 'Kesha Is Not An Idiot' type of articles that this animal sent me through the years, for turning things around for me, for letting me see what I've been missing all these years: glitter!
I may have professed loathing for her when she first came out but I wasn't so loathy as to ignore Tik Tok, her catchy first single which I DID bother to steal from the Internet. I thought, that was it! No more stealing Ke$ha singles from the Internet because I have a musical reputation to uphold and it will not be tarnished by some low-rent Lady Gaga whose main gimmick is a dollar sign on her name.
But then Your Love is my Drug was released as a single and it tore through the fabric of my undeniably classy musical taste. It absolutely ripped it apart, my classy taste, the one I have so long cultivated. With the arrival of Your Love is My Drug, I seriously thought about the importance of having classiness in my taste and quickly came to the realization that I should not have classy musical taste anymore. I love a Ke$ha single, fuck a classiness. But even with the release of this song, I still wasn't convinced. Even with all the ripping apart, my Ke$ha appreciation hymen remained intact, or tried to be.
And then Warrior came. I liked Die Young. At this point, I was positively ready to take my place in the Animal kingdom. The album Warrior turned me into an animal. Specifically, a pretty pony. But despite finally converting into some sort of animal, I wasn't sure I wanted to see her live. When it was announced early this year that Manila was included in her Warrior tour (with only two cities in Asia), I had to be hypnotized by two animals who have long seen the majesty of Ke$ha's music, to see her live, and since I have almost no care for reputations anymore, I acquiesced.
I loved it.
Sadly, the Philippine animals seemed too tame. I simply didn't comprehend the non-wildness of the crowd at some of the big hits. Save for a few groups of girls, I was not comprehending the lack of hysterics at Blah Blah Blah and Dirty Love. There was golden opportunity to reach for Ke$ha's panties and it was squandered by the iPad-waving jerks nearest the stage. All that those iPad-wavers managed to do was take a million pictures of this gorgeous pop star who was live-singing her ass and vag off in front of them. I hope those people's iPads had a great time!
Ke$ha is not a wig-snatching type of pop diva. I don't think she has great, grand delusions about placing so high atop in pop music royalty. When you Google 'pop music', her name doesn't even come up on the first search page; it comes in the second just before Chris Brown but just right after Adele. It's not a woeful place to end up in but you get the feeling that she could get to the first with Britney, Madonna, Katy, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. With much better songs and marketing in the future, maybe she could totally evade the fate of Willa Ford.
It wasn't quite the spectacle that bigger divas like Beyonce and Kyle Minogue are capable of; there were two scruffy, buffish backup dancers, lots of glitter, disco balls and some balloons, but no stage backdrop and very little wig and costume changes, which are what we/I expect from my crazy divas. But being in such close proximity with a wild-dancing pop star and her two pelvic-muscle baring dancers, it felt like my face and senses have had enough but can't help but want more: more glitter, more pelvic thrusts, more underwear-only costume changes, more getting-laid pep talks.
Just before her concert, I tweeted her, told her I'm ready for her cock pop. Minutes later, I was followed by a Ke$ha-looking account which I thought was the real Ke$ha. I was ecstatic. But now as I type this, I have recovered from my great, grand delirium; it wasn't Ke$ha who followed me but a fan account that does not seem to understand that to describe one's self as a 'parody account', one must parody. I thought me and Ke$ha had a chance at real friendship. I was very close to her during Warrior Tour and I had very soft feelings about the modesty of the concert's attendance, but it turned out she didn't actually follow me. This is a good thing. I do not want the baggage that comes with a pop star Twitter follow. I'm happy to leave those types of baggages to actual pop stars. I can sleep at night just knowing she and I share the same fascination for strip clubs.
Link These and Die
August 15, 2013
I regard every essay posted in Facebook or Twitter with suspicion because life is short and I don't want to spend precious seconds of my life reading worthlessness when I can spend it trolling prestigious publications such as Gawker, Mariah Daily, Jessica Rules the Universe and Read This and Die. It's an economical way of plowing through daily Internet readings. Sometimes I regard these essays with contempt because suspicion and contempt are best friends. I can only imagine how someone with the same tendency as me feels when I post essays that entertain and impress me greatly. In the spirit of democracy feel free to express your feelings about people like me who post essays such as the ones I do in your own Pat Session.
I've been seeing this travel-related essay too often and too much. It basically pontificates the virtues of travelling while young. It's a bombastic persuasion on how youthful travelling can be so nurturing to the soul and well-being. Point taken, but actually, travelling is so expensive. I'm saying 'expensive' but I'm also meaning I don't like spending time at airports, falling in line for bus tickets, jeeps, and other such cruelties to the mind, body, spirit and feet. A friend once emoted exactly how I feel about the kind of travelling I do (leisurely): I like the feeling of being in a place but I've never warmed to the necessity of having to face people whose job it is to suspect my intentions for lugging big, uncomfortable bags to places where about a dozen other people in my Facebook have re-enacted the exact same poses in, like as if they're the very first human beings to ever pose inappropriately beside a religious statue, wearing the same sets of wacky facial expressions.
But really, people who enjoy travelling and posting pictures of their naked selves in the beach, or fully clothed in the mountains, etc, are people whose passion for travelling I totally respect. I get that their exposure in my timelines are accidents of their having cameras and FB/Twitter. Travel people are not the same as skinny people who go to fancily ambienced restaurants so they can hashtag foodporn their pics (which I can tolerate if you're a chunky/fast metabolismed person with a nice camera who actually likes food). You're fine, travel people. I especially like it when you go by yourselves and never feel the need to make me feel inadequate for not vomiting all over myself for not booking the next piso-fared flight to Turks and Caicos. I guess my point is I don't mind travelling but I'd rather be magically transported to a place. But I prefer reading and that's travelling too!
Things to accomplish in your 20s
This is popular with people whose lives are perfect or whose lives are merely perfectly advertised. To better ram their points across, they point out that they really, really have accomplished a lot and are perfectly happy in their achievements as 20-something persons and that in fact numbers 2, 3 and 5 are crossed off their list. As a twenty-something person who hasn't achieved a quarter of what this magnanimous Internet person is telling me to achieve already, I sit by the sidelines in the meantime and swallow whole my peers' glittering achievements. Thank you, my mouth is so full.
I don't know what you see in Patricia Evangelista's writing that you would mercilessly bombard timelines with her essays but every time I read an article of hers, I imagine her face. It's a face so serious it will make you question the existence of humor. I will admit that I don't read her often because I'd rather think about Channing Tatum's loins or read serial killer novels, but when my timeline is Patricia Evangelista'd I can't help but notice and read each word, and think, 'Gurl, chill! Gurl, listen to some Carly Rae or some Britney.' I kinda like her column about Ernesto Maceda, though.
List of things gays need to stop doing
In this, the writer gives a guideline on how not to behave as a gay person. But you know what, writer? Being a homosexual in this world is hard. You may think it's easy, but it's not. Our inward-smirking society may give the impression that it's totally okay to be gay but still, no. We get innumerable rules on how to maintain an acceptable amount of gayness that we should unleash to our fellowmen so adding to that is mean.
But I will agree on one point and that is in the needless sassyfication of the self (the way actually paminta gays attempt to be sassy and attempt Z-snapping personas – #4 on the list) just so one can meet the expectations of how the average, unexposed-to-gays perceive a gay person. I don't z-snap in public but I do sometimes exhibit flamboyant tendencies just because I feel I can behave as a certain type of gay without having to think if my behaviour is becoming distractingly gay. It's silly but I act a bit swishy around friends who know and I don't get why I do either, but maybe it's because my thing is I have to be myself.
You can't follow hunks on Instagram AND like their photos without being suspected of being a fag. If you do manage to follow a hunk, you might have to do it one at a time (so, say, you want to follow both Semerad twin, you have to settle with one and follow the other one some weeks after just so it won't look suspiciously creepy to people who, despite fat, flaming evidences to the contrary, still think of you as straight). You also can't comment on your out, freedom-loving gay friends' posts the way you want to. You may get away with the occasional Chos but sometimes you want to have variation and use Char, but Char will most certainly raise an alarm.
Also, you get endlessly jeered by clueless or vicious people who find it highly retarded (and maybe frightening) that at your age, you have no girlfriend. It feels intrusive and harrassy when you get teased with females you'd rather be friends with. I refuse to be the type who ceremoniously announces whatever people feel I need to ceremoniously announce, but there are fools who will want to worm this information out of you. It's hard.

Indifference ban
May 8, 2013
Things happened today in Manila, Philippines: a person who has had it with this world committed suicide via the trusty killing machine, the MRT, and caused traffic along EDSA where I pass by daily, and it allegedly happened around the same time I was on commute (In my opinion, people who commit suicide in public places, especially in Philippine public transportation, and in rush hours, are not thinking very reasonably) — totally unnoticed by me; blackout in the gloriously hot Metro Manila and I wasn't as affected as affective people who are highly affected by all things that happen in this world and maybe also elsewhere, because I was using a laptop (so my work went uninterrupted) and I was spared from possibly grave air-con-related inconvenience because I was fine with the combination of early morning extreme air-con cold and sudden mellow, moderate office heat; and lastly, there is a election-related liquor ban being imposed because, maybe, the people who think about these things (congressmen? MMDA?) are very simple-minded because I, also sometimes insufferably simple-minded, just fail to see the sense in this, although I don't feel like this ban is going to affect my being because there is leftover liquor in the ref and I'm lately not caring so much about being very drunk as to be roused from what I humbly think is a very senseless, snicker-worthy reason and occasion to ban liquor.
As the second child in a family of the kind that I have, there is strong evidence to support the occasional suspicion that the universe is evidently, undoubtedly indifferent to the idea of me. Maybe of you, too. Based on these observations of mine, too, I seem to be indifferent/want to affect an air of indifference to many disgraceful, mind-blowingly senseless events, but the universe, which would not suffer to be out-indifferenced by any fool, is way more indifferent and don't I forget it.
Gays of our lives
April 21, 2013
Dave White, author of Exile in Guyville: How a Punk Rock Redneck Faggot Texan Moved to West Hollywood and Refused to be Shiny and Happy, is the kind of gay who thinks he's a special kind of gay, who thinks that by frequently silently judging gays he despises, which he claims he would hate too had they been straight, he's exempt from being the kind of gay other gays would also find despicable. Except that the world he lives in (Los Angeles) and the world in general has no shortage of haters and haterades. We each and everyone of us fill the world's quota of someone's hate. And this is true even or especially within "The Gay Community" ("Gay Community", to me, will always and forever evoke an image of a subdivision filled with gays with really excellent gardens and exclusively non-tacky decors, with the exception of only a very few tacky, unaware gays who will of course be treated as anomalies by their super classy gay neighbors).
In DW's community there are these types of gays:
1. Entitlement queens
2. Disco faggot douchebags ('I'm not saying that house music is the internationally recognized sound-signifier of the faggot douchebag, but there's a very specific type of faggot douchebag who only listens to house music, and so as a genre it's a little guilty by association')
3. Gays who kick your car
4. Dress-all-stupid queens
5. Gay bears
6. Gays who are like the gays in Will & Grace
7. Crystal meth queens
There are so many, but in other worlds there are these other types of gays:
1. Big word gays – gays that use multisyllabic nonsense because it makes them feel like they are wise gays.
2. Spiteful gays
3. Gays who hate Anne Hathaway
4. Gays who hate the Catholic Church
And there are many more. Feel free to create your own list.
Dave White is a film critic whose boyfriend is MSNBC's Alonso Duralde who I like because in his review of Precious, he praises Mariah. As he should! Because of an all-consuming, mad love for his lover, Dave tries to overcome all odds and transfers to Los Angeles, leaving his beloved Texas. Among LA's great barriers to Dave's achievement of happiness and contentment are the aforementioned entitlement queens, reckless drivers, shouty neighborhood gays, and rude bookstore clerks. Such are his LA life's difficulties that you can't help but think, 'You are so brave, Dave.' In between battling these great obstacles, he goes from one temp job to another because he will not suffer the oppressiveness of a permanent job.
Clearly, he's a bit of an entitlement queen himself. His real problem is that instead of 14 hours of couch-surfing and snacking, he gets only 12.
Actually, Dave White is a fun person who is not a typical gay. He calls gays faggots, which is a slur, and you get the feeling he gets away with it every time he uses it with/to his boyfriend and friends. He's ruthless with the gays — you know how when someone who's also a flaming homosexual refers to his fellow gays in a hissy, spiteful way because he feels like it? He's like that with gays he dislikes and to chubbies and bimbos, too, because he's fair. With seemingly little regard for human feelings, he talks about them in his diaries scathingly and hilariously, whether they're directly harming him as to warrant the hissiness or they're just existing near him. He doesn't care for euphemisms. He will call a fat person a fattie and he'll tell funny anecdotes about them abandonedly. In short, Dave White is a precise, funny and beautiful describer of people.
My favorite chapter is 'Motherfucker' because it contains one of the most breathtaking paragraphs I've ever read in a memoir:
'Yes, I watch crotches. I'm a faggot. I was put on this earth to do a whole lot of that and I don't want to shirk my responsibility to humanity… I have a soft spot for sex workers.'
Dave White is real.
If Queens Burroughs and Sedaris could kindly step aside, please. There's a new queen in my community.
Mariah's Thing
April 11, 2013
'My thing is that I have to be myself and if that means that in that moment I don't hear you, I don't see you and you don't exist to me at this moment, then that's what it is.'
Mariah Carey, best
person singer in the world, may have accidentally articulated how we (or just I) should feel about peoples and things that need rebuking off of our aura, when the quarrelings with Nicki Minaj led to things such as this quote which she eloquently and generously elucidated in an ET interview.
My interpretation of this is: Be yourself. If within yourself something doesn't exist in your specific moment which can be totally whatever, don't exhaust any of your senses by hearing, seeing or smelling something that is not existing in your moment. And then let it be.
A practical application of this is: instead of making a 'Whateveeeeeeer!' comment in any of your social networks "'friends's" posts, which you have to admit the internal struggle to not do can sometimes seem so insurmountable, you just nonchalantly block everything off because, hello, you have just been guided by Mariah's non-existent beings moment management. Learn.

Star Trek characters in pixel form
John Martz, in collaboration with Koyama Press, pixelates 235 Star Trek characters in this limited edition print. This amuses me even though I've never been a Star Trek fan. Must be those episodes of Next Generation I watched after school because there was nothing else on. Always had a soft spot for that Data fellow.

Found January 31, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Alex Rodriguez
TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
There has been speculation that the New York Yankees will attempt to void third baseman Alex Rodriguez's remaining contract due to use of performance-enhancing drugs and his hip injury. However, the team knows there is little chance of voiding Rodriguez's contract, an act termed "unrealistic" by David Waldstein of The New York Times. The Yankees can dream of getting out from under their staggering financial obligation to Alex Rodriguez, but they know there is little chance of voiding Rodriguez's contract, even if it is proved that he used performance-enhancing drugs while a member of the team. Waldstein notes that MLB's player's association will fight the Yankees' attempt at voiding Rodriguez's. The 37-year-old has five years and $114 million remaining on his current deal with New York. While he doesn't view voiding the contract as a realistic option, the Yankees could still recoup some of their investment in several other scenarios. If Rodriguez's hip injury results in his retirement prior to or during the 2013 season, the Yankees could potentially collect up to 85 percent of Rodriguez's remaining salary through insurance. New York could also negotiate a buyout with Rodriguez, but the third baseman isn't expected to agree to take much, if any, less than the full amount he's owed. The final scenario would see Rodriguez finish his career with the Yankees. It sounds like New York is itching to part ways with Rodriguez, so I would expect one of the first two scenarios mentioned to take place. It's hard to tell the nature and ultimate impact of his injury at this time, but Rodriguez currently seems intent on continuing his career.

"There's a lot of focus put on 'moving on'… I'm not sure it's something that's terribly useful," Dad said. "Perhaps a better way to look on it is, take a step. And if it feels okay, take another. Eventually you'll look around and see you have moved. In whatever direction is intended and feels right. Take care of yourself and go slowly, love."
I was sitting on my bedroom floor. Bereft. Holding the phone up to my ear, looking out the window on the view that I loved so much. The same view I had sat and gazed at while I dreamed my daughter into creation, while I had cradled my belly in my hands, while she had danced playfully inside me.
Now, a month after her death, here I was receiving timely advice from my wise father. I remember focusing hard on the ground outside as I tried desperately to push down the rising thought: "But you don't know, Dad. You knew everything before. But I know you don't know this. Not this."
That was the beginning of feeling SO alone in the world. I had not yet realised the importance and strength in reaching out for a virtual hand to hold, an experienced hand. The hand of a mother who had also lost a child. That would come, but it would take me almost an entire year to accept any words from those who had gone before me – mostly, I couldn't bear to acknowledge anyone had gone through the pain I had. It seemed too much to cope with on top of my own.
I used to think looking back was unproductive. That it was devolutionary and devoid of hope.
But as I wrote the book of my path to healing as one half of an infertile couple who, despite the odds stacked against us, would conceive fourteen babies (and lose thirteen of them), I discovered that looking back – way back – was not only invaluable, it was vital.
Let me introduce you to an ancestor of mine I discovered last year. His name is Spencer Benham. He is my 4x great-grandfather (that is, my great-great-great-great-grandfather). Phew! In his lifetime (he lived for 66 years, from 1800-1866) he fathered 14 children to three wives. He outlived seven of his kids. All bar one were lost before reaching adulthood. They were:
With Mary (wife #1), from whom I am descended, two of their five children:
Sarah – aged 42
George – aged 4
With Frances (wife #2), four of their five children died before her death in 1852:
Frances – aged 7
James – aged 12
Sophia – less than 12 months
Frances - less than 12 months
With Annette (wife #3), the only largely "successful" union in terms of vital children who lived to old age (their other three survived into their 70′s-80′s):
James – 6 months
The last baby, James, died barely half a year before Spencer.
Spencer so consumed my thoughts that I went on a search for him. I eventually found the unmarked grave where he is buried with his last born son, James. I stood at the site in the old goldfields cemetery, marvelling at the largely untouched surroundings that would have looked very much as they did on the day his wife, Annette, buried her husband in the grave she had stood beside with him to bury their baby boy.
The fascinating thing about Spencer, to me, was learning from him (in his own words) a little about how he dealt with the deaths of his children. Below are a couple of excerpts I have taken from the many letters he sent home to England during his arduous voyage and settlement in the goldfields north of Melbourne, Australia, in 1857. By all accounts, he was determined to leave behind the loss, the devastation, the messy relationships (it's a long story!) and start anew. He came out here first in order to build a life for his third wife and their children – at that time there were only two, they would go on to have two more when she joined him out here in 1859.
Spencer writes beautifully over several letters and touches on losing his son, James, who was only 12, after already losing George (4) and Frances (7), not to mention his two baby girls, Frances and Sophia. Here are some extracts:
|Near Mr. Brice's Dairy
Golden Gully
Red Hill
Forest Creek, Castlemaine
Colony of Victoria.Sunday, August 2, 1857
"I received as you know, a letter from Spencer and Charlotte, announcing the death of my poor boy. It came upon me like a thunder clap. I had nearly sunk under it. I expect more deaths yet, for the heathenish signs of such events are of pretty frequent occurrence to me."
"My nerves are so much shook at the loss of my poor dear boy that I can hardly think what to write. I hope my other little dears are well, Esther, Freddy and Frances. I am quite bewildered. I can believe that all their afflictions shall work for good, but my feelings do not yield to reason. Alas, I am too much chained to earth. I have longed after you all with too much impatience. Our God is the all sufficient good, yet I am too prone to cleave creature happiness. My affections are not yet weaned from creatures. I have no Christian communion here, none to open my soul to. O that the Lord would open the way for you to come speedily to me."
|Thursday, October 22, 1857
"When you see any of my settled children give my love to them and to my brother, George. Since the death of my dear boy, writing is a bitter exercise to me, and I shall not practise it much. I have bespoke many friends here for you, who will hail your coming with a hearty welcome."
|Sunday Afternoon, November 22, 1857
"When I feed my dog and cats, I think of my dear children and yourself and wish you had plenty of that I often throw to them.Be sure to get Spencer to send me my poor dear boy's photograph. That was the bitterest pill I ever swallowed and my heart will never get over the shock of it."
There is something very comforting deep within me to discover the words of an ancestor who has ACTUALLY gone through this. Different circumstances, different times. Different beliefs and faiths, to be sure. But it still remains for me an invaluable, important exercise to have connected in this way with a part of my DNA's history, if you like, that has set me on the path for further healing in my lifetime.
In an age where "we" have all the answers and rush to profess them, it's a comfort to see, some 150-200 years hence, that simple expressions are the most honest.
How is this relevant or helpful to my journey? I don't know. I just know that it is.
And sometimes, I think that's all we need to know.

Now before you let your imagination go anywhere, this is Team Bondi's (of L.A. Noire fame) latest IP and "next-gen" project. Team Bondi's website has the following information regarding its new project:
"Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.
From the development team who brought you L.A. Noire and The Getaway, along with the Academy Award winning film production team of Kennedy Miller Mitchell comes a completely new and original IP being developed for next generation games consoles and PC."
The only released image at this time, definitely moody!
Even though I personally can't really place the title's name ( I can see this being banned already in Australia and Germany simply because of its title), it could be a great new IP. Being a "next-gen" project and only recently announced, we'll probably have to wait a while before it comes out. Lets hope future info/screenshots are just as interesting as the title….

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was gripping, at times horrifying, and completely engaging. It brings the history of the whaleship Essex alive, and it's one of the most compelling stories I've ever heard.

Smoothing concrete
Is there a way to smooth rough concrete?
Yes but, the technique depends on how rough your talking about.
Last year I poured a sidewalk slab and hit it with too course of a broom for the finish surface and wish I had used a lighter touch. I don't use that slab too much so I just let it go given the cost to make it right.
dual-disk grinder, walk-behind or hand held scarifier, hand grinder, clark oscillating sander, diamond grinder - what're you trying to achieve ?
it may be more efficient & cost less to overlay

If the Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn Sioux football team were a boxer, they'd have a pretty good chin. They just keep taking punches week in and week out and keep on coming out on top. Westhope-Newburg-Glenburg is the heavy underdog coming into its game against undefeated number 1 Cavalier tomorrow in the 9 man state championship and it's the perfect position for these guys.
"It really motivates us. We want to try and prove everyone wrong. We may be three small schools but we got enough talent, work hard, and give everything we have. It really motivates us," running back Hawkin Smette says.
This is the second straight trip to the Fargodome for the Sioux. They lost to Hazen last year in the Class A state final. Coach Nesvold is using that factor and the approach that it's just another business trip to show that his team is ready.
"We want to stay on a schedule, stay on a plan. We know what we expect when we get there. Last year, we were maybe a little bright-eyed. We got to see the inside of the dome for the first time. Play on turf for the first time. We've done that, been there now," Nesvold says.
"They're a pretty strong defensive team all the way through. You just have to play them like any other team. Just got to go hard at them and just keep it going.," quarterback Hunter Braaten says.
WNG and Cavalier kick off at 9:00 am Friday morning. It's the first of four state championship games at the Fargodome.

Are hockey players the toughest sports athletes?
Fred Poulin | May 27, 2011 | Comments 2
With only one game to go (game 7 tonight between the Bruins and the Lightning) before the Stanley Cup finals, the arduous road to the most difficult trophy to win is about to come to an end. The Vancouver Canucks will meet tonight's winner in the ultimate best-of-seven series.
It amazes me that the two teams who will battle for the Stanley Cup will each have played more than 100 games of competitive hockey in order to challenge for the prized hardware. Included in this figure is September's pre-season schedule (most NHL players play 4-5 exhibition games), where young prospects are tying to grab the veterans' jobs. The long season includes lopsided games filled with fights and vicious body checks, intense rivalries between division opponents and four-point games over the long run against other teams battling for a playoff spot. It also includes hundreds of hit into the Plexiglas, hundreds of high sticks and cuts, hundreds of cross-checks and slashes, scores of blocked shots, numerous fights. It includes broken noses, broken jaws, stitches, separated shoulders, concussions, high-ankle sprains. It includes black eyes and swelling after receiving a deflected puck into the face or hitting a concrete wall named Douglas Murray or Zdeno Chara.
When we look at the recently eliminated San Jose Sharks and wondered why they lost in five games against a talented Canucks team, we simply need to look at all the serious injuries their elite players sustained (Source: David Pollack):
1. Jason Demers — Right ankle, high sprain from Game 7 of Detroit series.
2. Scott Nichol — Torn labrum in his left shoulder and a serious laceration above his knee requiring 20 stitches after being cut when colliding with Raffi Torres's in Game 2 of the Canucks series.
3. Dany Heatley — A broken left hand during the season and a high-ankle injury suffered during Game 3 of the Vancouver series.
4. Ryane Clowe — Shoulder separation likely requiring a three to four months of rehab. Clowe was so badly hurt he needed help getting his jersey on!
5. Dan Boyle — A damaged MCL in his left knee from a March 17 game against the Minnesota Wild.
6. Logan Couture — Broken nose suffered when he collided with Clowe in Game 3 of the Vancouver series.
7. Joe Pavelski — Bothered by an ankle problem all season long and during the playoffs.
8. Joe Thornton — The tip of the little finger damaged late in the regular season after a slash will have to be reattached. Thornton had to adjust his grip on the stick, which created a wrist problem. Shoulder separation that occurred in Game 4 against Vancouver.
Hell former Canadiens' GM Bob Gainey won a Stanley Cup ring, playing with both shoulders separated. He didn't tell anyone until the playoffs were over.
Most baseball players would have hit the disabled list in a matter of seconds with such injuries, when we know all too well a starting pitcher can miss a few starts with a blister or an ingrown nail.
So this leads to the question: Who are the toughest sports athletes?
According to an extensive study done by ESPN called Sports Skills Difficulty ice hockey ranks 2nd behind boxing among the 60 sports measured, billiards and fishing being dead last understandably. Football is ranked 3rd, basketball 4th, baseball 9th and soccer 10th.
The ten categories measured for the study were as follows: ENDURANCE, STRENGTH, POWER, SPEED, AGILITY, FLEXIBILITY, NERVE, DURABILITY, HAND-EYE COORDINATION, and ANALYTIC APTITUDE.
While boxing is much more demanding on a short period of time (12-round fight), the hockey season is much more strenuous on a professional athlete because players sometimes log 25 to 30 minutes of ice time, game after game, during more than 80 games per year over 15 to 20-year careers. And what about goaltenders like Martin Brodeur who play more than 70 games every season? They have to stay in the game for the full 60 minutes!
What about football players one would argue? Well, according to a Wall Street Journal study of four television broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes of actual playing time over a 60-minute game. And the season includes only 16 games plus the playoffs, so football is more about brute force, speed and strength, not so much about durability and endurance. Heck, football players play only one game per week, while hockey players often have to play back-to-back games… in different cities!
What about soccer players and the rigor of a 90-minute game? According to match reports from the 2010 World Cup, in the average 90-minute match, the average actual playing time in a soccer game was about 68 minutes and with the large size of the playing field, most of the time soccer players are not directly involved in the game. While soccer combines speed, endurance and agility, the sport is not very physical, as most physical contacts are forbidden and often results in a yellow or red cards.
In conclusion, I clearly believes ice hockey players are the toughest athletes on Earth and have to endure the harshest physical beating to win the Stanley Cup! That's why hockey is the best sports to watch and practice! Now let's lace them up and drop the puck!

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO) -- No decision yet on charges but investigators think the mother of three infants who died in the interfaith fire should face criminal prosecution. Detectives say Jonetta Woods should be charged with three counts of 2nd degree child abuse, a ten year felony, for allegedly leaving her four children home alone on February 18th, the day their apartment at the Interfaith Apartment complex caught fire.
Asst. Prosecutor Carrie Klein says it's up to the Prosecutor to decide what they will take to trial. Tevin and Te'Niyah Williams, both 3-years-old, and 1-year-old Ty'onna Henderson could not be rescued from the flames. A fourth child, 4-year-old Drayanna O'Day managed to escape.
Woods faces a jury trial in May to determine if she will regain custody of that 4 year-old.
