Since there are a lot of e cigarettes to choose from we are going to give you our opinions a couple of electric cigarette brands out there. We will give you Crown 7 reviews and how it compares to the Solar Cigarette electric cigarette.
It was very difficult to navigate through the Crown 7 website products area. It was hard to see what exactly comes with their starter kits. We had to do our review based on the images of the products.
Crown 7 imperial kits comes with the following:
- 1 electric cigarette battery
- 2 refill cartridges
- 1 usb charger and owners manual
- owners manual
- optional car charger
- optional colors black or white
Although the price is relatively inexpensive, the Crown 7 kit can give smokers a chance to try out the electric cigarette and see if they are going to enjoy it.
Solar Cigarette reviews
The Solar Cigarette website is very easy to navigate through the product area, and gives you a list of exactly what you will receive on your purchase.
Solar Cigarette basic kit comes with the following:
- 2 electric cigarette batteries
- 5 refill cartridges
- 1 wall charger
- owners manual
- optional free membership into smoking buddy program (helps you stay smoke free)
- multi flavored vitamin packs (promotes weight loss)
The Solar Cigarette is priced the same if not cheaper as the Crown 7 but they offer much more of their product for the price. They also offer vitamin packs which boost energy and promotes weight loss with every single puff. The optional free membership into the smoking buddy program assigns you with help from other smokers on how to keep off tobacco cigarettes.
Our Crown 7 reviews versus the Solar Cigarette will have to go to the Solar Cigarette. The Solar Cigarette provides much more value and at the same price. Smokers can customize their electric cigarette kits unlike the Crown 7. Here are some more videos of what Solar Cigarette customers are raving about.

Flo Rida Talks Wrestling Pitbull, Rick Ross, and 2 Live Crew at WWE Raw in Miami
Courtesy of WWE
When we heard that Flo Rida would be hosting WWE Raw, it seemed like, "That ain't gonna work." But the more we thought about it, the more that particular tag team made sense. Both are splendidly packaged celebrations of pop culture, and boy are they entertaining.
Wrestling deals in iconography. And what is Flo Rida but the perfectly anthropomorphized, walking, talking representation of fun club culture? He is Miami's icon!
If our city was in a situation that could be resolved only via body slams, we would send out Flo Rida as our champion. Well, if The Rock weren't picking up his phone, of course.

Yes, it's true sometimes we travel by bus. On Friday we went out to see the systems behind a state of the art warehouse, so we could learn how to improve our own logistics.
Unfortunately as we tried to head back to Manhattan, we missed our bus back into the city (NJ Transit Bus to be exact). We knew we could make the wait until the next bus efficient - it meant heading into the local King's gorcery store and setting up for a meeting.
Never fear, the rioters are highly mobile people. Nina, Matt, and I held a follow up meeting and made phone-cals before jumping on board back to Manhattan. Thanks to our hosts Steve and Jim for taking care of us in New Jersey.

AMD, Intel Court Fight Continues
AMD, Intel Court Fight Continues
AMD and Intel have each filed a series of new documents in federal court as the ongoing legal dispute between the two chip makers moves toward a 2009 court date.
The papers, which were submitted May 1 and made public May 5, were filed as part of the antitrust case that AMD brought against Intel in 2005. The case, which has been assigned to the U.S. District Court in Delaware, has been scheduled for an April 2009 trial date.
Click Here to Watch the Latest eWEEK Newsbreak Video.
AMD has accused Intel of abusing its dominant position in the x86 microprocessor market to stifle competition through a variety of means, including offering deep discounts to vendors to remain exclusive partners, punishing those OEMs that considered using a second chip supplier and giving away products in order to maintain market share.
For the first time, AMD has presented its allegations in a formal summary of its case-a 100-page plus document that details its allegations against Intel and claims to show how the company has used its position with OEMs to dominate the market since IBM introduced the first personal computer with a version of the Intel 8086 processor.
In its counterargument, which also runs over 100 pages, Intel contends that the marketplace is competitive and that AMD's accusations are an attempt to make up for years of producing inferior products. Each side claims that its x86 microprocessor technology contains the superior innovations needed by PC and server vendors as well as the average consumer.
The filings are culled from between 150 and 200 million pages of documents that have been introduced in the case so far. After reading the summaries, the two judges in the case will determine which witnesses can be deposed, and that will set up the actual trial in 2009. AMD's attorneys are expected to take depositions throughout the rest of the year and possibly into 2009.
The latest filings offer a glimpse into how AMD plans to present its case before the federal court. In the filings, AMD claims that all of the major OEMs-Hewlett-Packard, Dell, IBM, Acer, Gateway-received special treatment from Intel if the companies bought only Intel processors.
These relationships with vendors formed the base of Intel's practices and led to AMD's exclusion from the market place, AMD argues.
If these vendors, or some of the other smaller companies, decided to look at or build PCs or servers with AMD processors, they were punished by Intel, according to AMD. For example, in the late 1990s, Gateway took a serious look at AMD processors and decided to offer a line that used the company's chips. Then, for reasons that are not clear, Gateway-a longtime exclusive user of Intel chips-dropped AMD.
"Gateway suddenly 'phased out' AMD in July 1999, and Gateway abruptly cancelled its launch of a machine based on AMD's Athlon processor," according to the documents. (Acer, which now owns Gateway, now uses AMD processors in Gateway PCs.)
How and why Intel would have caused Gateway to do this and what evidence AMD plans to present of this remain unknown.
The public versions of these documents are heavily redacted due to a protection order that the two judges assigned to the case agreed on to protect trade secrets and other proprietary information. In an interview, Chuck Diamond, lead outside counsel for AMD, said Intel has used the protection order to excess in order to shield its sales practices from the public.
Intels Side of the Story
Chuck Mulloy, a spokesperson for Intel, said the redactions in the public documents protect the company's trade secrets and AMD is trying to use the latest filing to drag as many witnesses into court as possible to provide depositions in the case.
In its own court papers, which are also redacted at points, Intel contends that the chip business is competitive and that AMD and its processors have not provided the technical capabilities required by the world's top PC and server vendors. AMD has not gained market share due to the marketplace itself and Intel's ability to deliver products that its vendor partners wanted, Intel argued.
"In an industry with large, powerful customers, whose purchases are often measured in the hundreds of millions, and in some cases billions, of dollars, competition is often bruising," Intel's document said. "Both Intel and AMD engage in vigorous persuasion and negotiation to convince customers to align their products with the suppliers' offerings. In the face of this intense competition, AMD is seeking a rule that would require a successful competitor like Intel to pull its punches and not compete aggressively on price."
Many of the same arguments against Intel have shown up in various antitrust cases worldwide, including the recent actions by the European Union. Earlier in 2008, the New York Attorney General's Office opened an investigation into Intel's practices and cited some of the same business tactics that the chip maker allegedly engaged in against AMD.
The next hearing before Special Master Vincent Poppiti and presiding Judge Joseph Farnan is scheduled for June.

Apparently some people suck so freaking bad that a DEV was forced to put up boss strats for a boss in there game. That is ridiculous. End of story!
Its bad enough that any noob in blue gear can now walk into heroics and clear them. In BC heroics were actually hard for the most part. Now there a goddamn joke. You have guilds already fully clearing all of the current raid instances. WTF?
If not for all you "retards" and "casuals" there would still be challenged in the game for people who actually want them.
If Ulduar isn't actually a challenge you are going to see a lot of people abandon WoW. No, I won't be one of them. HaHa!
And quite frankly anyone who doesn't like my opinion can feel free to post there own. But I don't give a damn either so its falling on deaf ears.

Coming late this summer or early this fall is a new Acer netbook that will be powered by Android, Google's mobile operating system. This will be the first official netbook with Android running on it. Of course, we've seen hacking of netbooks with Android in the past, showing the obvious desire to see this provided for consumers. Looks like it's finally happnening.
If you're not familiar, netbooks are mini laptops, usually ranging from 7-12 inches. Many of them run on Windows XP or Linux. Netbooks are designed for people on the go. You may notice mobile carriers such as Verizon offering broadband internet deals for netbooks. I've seen deals where you pay $99 for the netbook with a 2-year contract at about $60 a month. It's very similar to purchasing a mobile phone.
Of course, Android's first venture was on the T-mobile/Google co-branded phone, the G1, which is manufactured by HTC. T-Mobile's second Android device is expected "early this summer" according to the blogosphere. Since it is essentially early summer, might the new phone be out any day now? Details are still vague, so stay tuned.

"Cositas de la realidad"
"Un ratito de gloria
(1977 - 2000)"
David and Goliath
Candela Olivo. Jerez de la Frontera, July 2003
Festival Espárrago 2003. Flamenco Fusion Stage. Friday July 25th:
Gualberto. Los Delinqüentes. Tomasito. Kiko Veneno. Saturday July
26th: Las Niñas. Chambao. Mártires del Compás. Navajita Plateá.
Jerez Racetrack (Cádiz province, Spain).
Flamenco Fusion Stage
Jerez de la Frontera, on the highway to Arcos.
Six in the afternoon. 104 degrees and not an inch of shade in sight. A couple
in their twenties is walking along the verge. They carry with them only a couple
of sleeping bags. They already invested thirty-five euros a head up front. A wristband
pass with the inscription 'Espárrago 2001' (recycling, you understand)
awaits them at the packed makeshift ticket office. They thumb a lift. A car stops.
Sitting out the tailback's easier in an air conditioned car than on an overcrowded
which costs an extra two euros.
"Going to see any group in particular?"
"No, no, we're going for the whole festival... but, well, come to think of
it, it'd be good to see los Mártires."
The Flamenco Fusion stage (under the banner
'Flamenco Viene del Sur') is located behind the main stand at the Jerez racetrack,
flanked by the 'Electro' stage on one side and the 'Andalucía' stage on
the other. On first impression, judging by the proximity and orientation of the
stages, acoustic chaos is guaranteed at this, the fifteenth edition of the festival.
The organizers maintain that the filming of racetrack footage just previous to
the festival drastically cut the time available to set up the festival infrastructure,
citing this as the reason for locating the stages in the parking lot rather than
on the track itself. It's a step back. But right now what matters more than the
technical difficulties is the searing heat beating down on the tarmac
temperature has just reached its peak on Friday July 25th 2003 and around a hundred
people, all evidently seeking martyrdom, have come to see the festival kick-off.
The girls in their bikinis. The guys stripped to the waist. The difficult task
of raising the curtain falls to Gualberto.
The time-honored musician from Triana plays a set pulled from the vaults and with
his distinctive rock and roll twist, electric guitar in hand. He's accompanied
by acoustic guitar, bass, drums, palmas and cajón. Flamenco shines through
in the structure of the music. Drawing some respite from a red promotional parasol,
he dives into alegrías on the sitar... But he's almost drowned out by the
soundcheck coming from the stage to the right, in the form of a recording of the
Police. "Oh my, that's rich
The furnace
Thanks to a spray from a few life-saving hosepipes,
the audience starts to swell a little in number. In parallel with Sôber,
who have congregated their huge following at the next-door stage, the group Los
Delinqüentes - with a more modest but equally devout band of followers who
frantically chant, dance and jump around - do their thing on the flamenco stage.
Two opposing visions of in-your-face music side-by-side. Three guitars, bass,
drums, cajón, palmas and vocals combine to make up this youthful band with
its acidic influences, its raucous rumbas, playful burlesques and basement rock.
"La anticanción del verano" (The Summer anti-hit) is a treat,
just what the doctor ordered. "It's great here in the furnace!"
No sooner has La Mala Rodríguez finished
spouting forth her wailing rap from the 'Brandy & Sherry' stage - the only
one separated from the rest - than Tomasito
takes the stage. He brings with him Mariana de Pineda and El Fino, two of his
figureheads. It's hard to say whether it's down to the fact he's playing on home
turf, or that the sun's just going down or whatever, but the singer, cantaor,
bailaor and crown prince of Jerez rhythm kicks ass from the opening note. With
a tight accompaniment on drums, percussion, acoustic and electric guitar he glides
through his present and past repertoire: from 'Soleá Punk' to 'Sobreviviré
(y aquí estaré)', from 'Vicio' to 'Camino del hoyo' and 'Agradecido'.
And he jumps and crawls around, climbs the lighting towers, lies down, throws
himself into the crowd, sits down and slaps a rhythm on the cajón... And
he sings
and even makes time for seguiriyas. And he dances... and even takes
time out to stop for a few seconds. And it's time for bulerías, then it's
pop, then it's heavy metal, then it's rock, then it's time for his body-popping
Niño Robot act, then it's back to the singalong flamenco. And the group
is there with him. It's a supreme live performance, with perfectly fluid communication
between one end of the stage and the other. The performer gives his all, the audience
does likewise. No mean feat considering the constant battle against involuntary
musical fusion between Tomasito and the Guano Apes who perform on the next-door
stage, not to mention various technical problems such as the sporadic failure
of the lighting once the sun had finally set behind the vine-covered ridge.
Tomasito himself introduces the following
act: "Sir Kiko Veneno". With a war cry of "Buenas noches",
the singer-songwriter greets the audience. "Welcome to rumba with rock and
roll," he shouts, and launches into a flawless set, combining originality,
maturity, professionalism and his fresh approach, a rare combination of talents.
'Lobo López', 'Se han llevado las toallas', 'Blues de Memphis'... the songs
ring out one-by-one under a now starry sky... nothing like the edition which was
rained off, and which has left the festival in financial difficulties. Kiko
Veneno remembers it well as he sings the lines "Estaba lloviendo y yo
me mojé, pa una vez que llueve, ¿me voy a esconder?" (It was
raining and I got wet; it rains seldom enough, why should I hide?). The lyrics
from Veneno's past repertoire are magical. The set, perfectly suited to the occasion,
delights the audience, who have now got over the insult of, for example, having
to pay for a plastic cup to drink out of, or having to pay to park up in total
darkness on a piece of waste land (and be 'welcomed' by the police). Back to the
concert, with Rosendo playing alongside, with Pepe Bejines as a special guest,
Kiko Veneno plays 'Superhéroes de barrio'. The audience chants and applauds
to the last. Rosendo provides a somewhat surreal encore in an involuntary act
of fusion as his eighties rock anthems ring across from the next stage, the lyrics
not quite on the same level as Kiko's
Past midnight and that's the end of the flamenco
until the afternoon heat of the next day. Some decide to refuel
on jacket
potatoes, hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, slices of pizza... Some decide to
try their hand on the PlayStations, some try bungee jumping, some carry on getting
high, some have already taken it too far, some go buying trinkets, some get their
hair put into plaits, some take a late siesta, some get out of their minds...
but most decide to soak up the musical offerings of every flavor which ring out
until dawn. Dance music, Public Enemy, Los Ilegales, Narco, Mucho Muchacho...
it's a long night.

How To Vanish?
Many people decide to vanish as they don't see any other solution to their problems. I came across this topic, because a good friend of mine (Lisa) had to decide between changing her identity or leaving a life full of fear.
- Hide from debt collectors.
- Avoid child support.
- Hide properties, vehicles, money and investments from loan companies.
- Stop stalkers from stalking harassing and abusing you.
She was a stalker victim. He followed her everywhere, Lisa could not escape him. Every time she tried to vanish and changed her phone number or address the stalker always found her within a couple of days. The man issue was that the stalker had good contacts within the police. Lisa tried several times to get into some kind of victim protection program and change her identity. However, it did not work. He was always there, what ever she did. Changing her identity officially did not work, she had to find a different way.
The Police who should have been there to 'protect and server' was not able to help assist her. She was forced to help her self and find a way how she can change her identity without the involvement of any government agency.
Lisa had no other choice to protect her self from the stalker than choosing this way.
I believe in her case, she did the right think. I would not encourage anyoneto vanish. However, if there is no other way to deal with a major problem threatening to have a very negative impact on your life, there is not much else you can do.
To vanish is like you pushing the "reset" button on your life. If you smart you can transfer your assets to your new identity and start a new life. At the same time changing one's identity also could mean you will loose contact friends or other people who are close with for a short time.
I spoke with Lisa before her Identity change and after. She still seem to be more or less the same person, but I also can see some change. Lisa seem to be more calm and relaxed now. Her life changed dramatically. She now lives with her new identity and passport in south east Asia. The stalker who turned her life into a nightmare, was not able to find her with her.
One year after she "vanished" I ask her how she felt about her new life. And she admitted the last year living on the beach in the tropical South East Asian country was the best year of her life. Learn more on How To Vanish at this blog.

My husband who serves as soldier always abuses me when he comesback from his overseas missions. He is always surrounded by so much violence when he get's back he just does not stop. I am so much suffering. The police does not help me. I think changing my identity and start over is my one and only chance to escape this hell.
I want to leave the state and settle somewhere else but I have so much debt. Do you think if I run away they will be able to track me down? I need an identity which can take care of law enforcement as well. I really doubt there's any fast and short method available. Anyway, I am going to order this Change ID Bible and hope that it'll help me.

Will You Sail Away With These Companies?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After what felt like the longest winter ever, summer is just around the corner. For many, this means a chance to travel to exotic locations, spend time with the family, and enjoy the sunshine. For some people, this will involve cruise ships, which have become increasingly popular over the last decade thanks to huge investments from cruise giants Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL), Carnival (NYSE: CCL), and even Disney (NYSE: DIS). However, recent problems with some cruise ships, including fires and engine failure, have had people re-thinking cruises as vacation options, and for investors it has meant sinking share prices in the short-term.
Small industry, big costs
Unlike other industries, the cruise ship industry is small in terms of the number of competitors. This is mostly due to the costs of owning and maintaining a cruise ship that is both profitable and comfortable for passengers. The average price to build a cruise ship can run anywhere from $420 million to nearly $1.5 billion, which is a big investment for just one unit. This tends to limit the number of entrants into the marketplace, and since it's a small industry, it means any negative publicity with cruise ships tends to have a ripple effect across the whole industry. Disasters with ships like the Costa Concordia and the Grandeur of the Seas have hurt the cruise ship market, as well as led to massive costs in repairs and marketing to try to regain the public's trust.
Ship safety hurting company profits
Following Royal Caribbean's recent problem when its ship, the Grandeur of the Seas, caught fire, the share price impact was immediate. It came as a precursor to the company losing 10¢ per share in earnings, which isn't good for the company headed into the peak summer season, when ships make their money for the year. Thankfully for the company, Moody's hasn't cut its credit rating from Ba1 after this downturn,. This will enable the company to borrow money, if need be, for repairs, as well as any expenses that will come from regaining passengers in the future, which will limit damage to the share price.
As troublesome as that was for the industry, the biggest headache came from Carnival after a fire on the ship, Triumph, left 3,100 people stranded at sea, leading to serious questions regarding the safety of cruise ships. Company reports have also shown a decline in revenue per passenger, despite an increase in bookings due to decreased cabin prices, leading the company to drop its profit estimates to $1.45-$1.65 per share, far below analysts' expectations of $1.99 per share. Part of this downturn has also been aided by increased fuel costs and less-than-favorable exchange rates. While that hurts the entire industry, Carnival has also had to increase marketing expenses to win back consumer confidence, which may turn out to be a long-term profit bleeder.
Disney impacted as well
A relatively new entry into the cruise business, Disney, has also taken a hit. Its new cruise ship, Fantasy, is expected to bring in lower earnings this year, though the company insists that this is a natural drop for a ship's second year at sea. While that may be true, it is possible that recent bad headlines associated with cruise ships have taken their toll on Disney's cruise enterprise, as well as the increase in fuel costs that were partially responsible for Carnival's problems.
However, Disney is more diverse than the other two companies. It has an entire network of entertainment ventures that help the company's bottom line, and alterations in the cruise industry won't have as much of an effect, positive or negative. Going into summer, expect Disney to benefit from sales at the box office and at its theme parks more than from its cruise ships.
To invest or not to invest?
For those who have invested in cruise ship companies over the long-term, this summer won't be nearly as good as past summers. There will still be movement among the three companies, but it doesn't look like the recent economic upswing will translate to cruise ship passengers as much as it should for other economic sectors.
Total liabilities for all three companies have risen over the last three years, even though long-term debt has decreased. Royal Caribbean seems to be the steadiest company so far, posting only a 1% increase in liabilities since 2011. This comes with an E/P (earnings-to-price ratio) of 0.63%, the lowest of the three companies, as well as a 0.56% return-on-equity, which is due to an increase in assets and a drop in shareholder equity.
Carnival, despite its problems, is still posting an E/P of 5.85%, a good yield, and it's a cheap buy with a forward P/E of 14.20, but these statistics may be misleading. Liabilities have increased by 5.35% over two years, and that may increase due to ship problems, which could be a red flag down the line. Return on equity is at a respectable 6.25%, though tempered expectations may result in a bit of a sell-off from stockholders. A downturn in profits will lower that ratio a bit, especially given the nature of the Triumph disaster. It is so far the only one of the three that has underperformed the S&P 500 over the last five years, which makes it less attractive as well
Disney had the biggest liability increase at 10.89% over two years, but still posts an E/P of 5.21% and a return-on-equity of 15.43%. It's more expensive than the other two, with a forward P/E of 16.09, but probably has a better chance for long-term gains thanks to other, more successful ventures like the much-anticipated release of "The Lone Ranger" in theaters this July.
Bottom line
Disney appears to be the better bet right now simply because of its size and diversity, which can absorb cruise ship industry problems. There may be better times ahead for cruise companies once the kinks are worked out and consumer confidence goes up, but right now is not the time if Carnival's estimates are a sign of an industry-wide problem.
It's easy to forget that Walt Disney is more than just the House of Mouse. True, Disney amusement parks around the world hosted more than 121 million guests in 2011. But from its vast catalog of characters to its monster collection of media networks, much of Disney's allure for investors lies in its diversity, and The Motley Fool's premium research report lays out the case for investing in Disney today.

The personality and intrinsically entertaining human being that is Ozzie Guillen tweeted an interesting photo Sunday. The Miami Marlins manager posted the pic (above) of he and his wife having dinner in Madrid with some friends. The caption reads, "dinner in madrid yes we having good time, stanton, ricky and petey. cenando en madrid que bueno."
Ozzie's three pals are Giancarlo Stanton, Ricky Nolasco and Bryan Petersen, who just happen to be players on the Marlins' roster. How many times have you seen a coach or manager either vacationing with his or her players, or meeting up with them for dinner while abroad?
After I saw this tweet, the story below seemed less shocking.
One of the several issues plaguing the Marlins concerned pitcher Heath Bell, who was none to pleased with a lot of things in Miami. The Marlins unloaded Bell, shipping him off to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and seemingly with barely both feet out the door, the Miami Herald published these secrets from the inside:
"Unhappy with his diminished role, the bitter Bell was openly critical of pitching coach Randy St. Claire, the training staff, Marlins catchers, sportswriters, and even the Showtime production crew that filmed The Franchise. Bell said he was portrayed too negatively during the reality series.
"For the Marlins, the final straw might have come the final week of the season when Bell, in a live radio interview, said it was "hard to respect" manager Ozzie Guillen.
"The following day, Bell's teammates, in a show of support for Guillen, turned on the manager's weekly radio show inside the clubhouse, raised the volume, and made Bell listen to Guillen state that he no longer respected Bell "as a person."
Upon reading this anecdote, I was immediately transported back to the 8th grade where stuff like this happened all of the time. Picking sides, bullying, humiliating your peers, etc.
I'm not saying Bell is a nice guy who got the shaft in this situation, but that sure seemed like a catty move for a group of adult men. Then again, pro athletes as a whole, aren't necessarily considered the most mature population segment of adult society.
But this begs an important question. Should a manager or coach be that close to his or her players? Can you properly discipline your employees and garner respect while on or close to their "level?"
In Ozzie's first season as manager, the Marlins finished dead last in the NL East with a 69-93 record and 19 games back of the division-winning Nationals.
In my few stints as a manager, I found the line between friend and boss incredibly difficult to draw since I really liked most of my employees and considered them friends. Depending on each individual, some listen to you and do what you ask as their boss because they respect you as a friend, while others do the opposite, undermining your authority because they consider you an equal.
Terry Francona did the impossible, breaking the curse and bringing multiple World Championships to Boston. Once his tenure as Red Sox skipper came to an end, various reports revealed that he had allegedly become so close with his players that he rarely disciplined the group when necessary and because of that, he "lost" the team.
Could Ozzie's close-knit relationship with his players be one of the many reasons why the Marlins absolutely sucked last season? I don't know the answer, but I think it is a topic worth exploring.
Heading To The Friendly Confines, Theo Epstein Thanks Red Sox Fans With Full-Page Ad In Boston Globe
Breaking up after 10 years together would be tough, regardless of the circumstances, and Theo Epstein's split with the Red Sox was just the icing on a cake which had already melted into a big, ugly mess in previous weeks. Despite a disastrous situation by sports standards, the former Red Sox general manager and executive vice president left Boston with a classy, parting gift as he heads to Chicago. Take a look at this full-page ad the native son took out in Sunday's Boston Globe, thanking the fans, players, coaches and front office staff of the team he dreamed of working for as a kid.
After assembling two World Series Championship teams and ending an 86-year drought, any competitive, driven, perfectionist would jump at the chance to take on the Cubs' North American sports team-record 103-year drought; especially given the way things unraveled with the Red Sox.
But Epstein isn't just any competitive, driven, perfectionist. He is a graduate of Brookline High School, just a few miles away from Fenway Park. Epstein's family roots run deep in the Boston community and his son was born in the city that haled him a hero and miracle worker for what he helped accomplish within the confines of the Green Monster and famous red clay.
I can only imagine that for him to leave his hometown and life as he knows it, Epstein must have thought there was no way he could repair his Red Sox, and that perhaps, they weren't even his anymore.
There will be no more five minute cab rides to FuGaKyu Restaurant on Beacon Street. No more sitting in the seats of an empty Fenway Park, the same seats in which he sat as a child rooting for his home team, soaking up the summer sun while watching the guys practice in the afternoons before night games.
Chicago is a wonderful city, and the Cubbies have their own fantastic traditions and folklore. But as friendly and iconic as the ivy may be at Wrigley, it will never be like home.

I was scared s**tless the first time I met Terry Francona.
The day was Thursday, January 14, 2010. I had just moved to Boston that past November and this was my first Red Sox event; several players and coaches held a media session in the conference room at the Westin Waterfront Hotel a few hours before the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers Association Of America held its annual awards dinner. It was the first legitimate media availability of the off season, a few weeks before spring training was to begin in Fort Myers, Florida.
Since arriving in New England, all I had heard about the Sox from my new media buddies was how difficult the team was to cover as a reporter. How volatile particular personalities were in the clubhouse.
Another theme remained consistent. I had been fairly warned by many; do NOT piss off Tito. Ask Francona a dumb question, and he'll make you pay. When he smells new blood, he'll test the waters to see how tough you are.
There I was, a few months on the job, and terrified of what should have been a cushy, hobnobbing, handshaking, fun and lighthearted assignment. But damn, was I nervous.
The day before the event, I was talking to someone at my office about my Francona fear. At some point in the conversation, I mentioned that Tito and I are both University of Arizona alumni. He said, "Use that! That's you're in. You'll be fine." I thought, it can't be that easy, but hey, it's worth a shot.
It couldn't have been more than 40 degrees the next day as the wind coming off the water hit me right in the face when I stepped out of the news van at the hotel. Wearing a dress didn't help my cause either. I wore a red dress. Red for the Sox, red for Arizona (I know, that is such a girly thing to do).
The room was filled with media from every outlet in Boston and everyone was working the room, catching up with old pals. Casey Kelly, a pitcher in the farm system fielded questions, as did new acquisitions Jeremy Hermida and John Lackey, both grinning from ear to ear, excited to call Fenway Park their new home (my my, how things have changed, right?).
As guys gave interviews in different spots around the room, in walked Terry Francona donning a full length tan coat, probably wool (it was quite sheik, I must admit) and wearing his signature round spectacles. He had a Don Corleone vibe working in full force.
I walked over and joined the large group of reporters huddled around him with microphones, cameras, tape recorders and iphones. I stuck my little arm in between necks and shoulders to get my mic as close to the Red Sox manager as possible.
In a great mood, Tito answered every question thrown his way, sprinkling in some fun anecdotes, joking around with different reporters and talking baseball. That's where I would stay for the next hour; looking, listening, taking notes and keeping my mouth shut. I went from covering the KC Royals' rookie ball team, the Idaho Falls Chukars, to the freakin' Boston Red Sox in one fell swoop, therefor, my confidence was shaky. I wouldn't be made an example of on day one. I wasn't going to ask any questions of the man who led the Sox to two World Series titles after an 86 year drought until I was properly informed and knew exactly what the heck I was talking about.
After a while, my videographer took my mic and the camera and went elsewhere. I stayed put, making eye contact and scribbling info in my notepad, getting an impromptu lesson on the Red Sox from the best professor in school and hoping that he noticed my effort. Eventually, as everyone had their questions answered, it was just the two of us standing there. Me and Tito.
Anxious and shaky, I stuck out my hand, and spat out, "Hi Terry, I'm Jackie Pepper, I'm new. I work for Comcast Sports Net. I went to the University of Arizona. So did you." So smooth, so smooth.
He shook my hand, introduced himself and told me that he heard there was a new Wildcat in town and that he was glad we got to meet. We chatted, but of course, it's all a blur now. I know we discussed sports, Tucson, where we used to live, but that's about all I remembered after the fact. You know how that goes, when your mind turns to mush after being in such a neurotic state. Vague topics, devoid of details.
We wrapped up our conversation after a few minutes and Tito said he was happy that I introduced myself. So was I. Walking away with a s***-eating grin on my face, a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. In an instant I went from a scared rookie reporter to knowing that I belonged in the big leagues.

Robert Zubrin, a world-renowned engineer, best-selling author, and a leading space exploration authority will discuss the case for Mars at an upcoming Nebraska Wesleyan University lecture.
Zubrin will deliver the university's Fetzer science lecture, "The Case for Mars: The Plan to Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must," on Thursday, February 28 at 1 p.m. in Olin B Lecture Hall.
Zubrin is a former senior engineer for Lockheed Martin, and the founder and president of Pioneer Astronautics, a hands-on research and development company dedicated to inventing and proving new technologies to advance humanity's reach into space and to improve life on Earth.
Zubrin founded the International Mars Society, an organization made up of individuals dedicated to furthering the exploration and settlement of Mars by both public and private means. He personally led the construction and operation of a human Mars exploration training session on Devon Island, an uninhabited island in the Canadian Arctic.
Zubrin is the author of the bestselling book "The Case for Mars" as well as several science fiction novels. His latest book, "Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism" follows his ideology that human beings are a cancer upon Earth. His previous book, "Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil," presented his bold plan for breaking economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on the country and world.
His lecture at Nebraska Wesleyan University is free and open to the public. The lecture will also be webcast on the university's website. He will be available for a book signing following his lecture.
The Amos Fetzer and Alice Fetzer Memorial Lecture was established by Dr. W.R. Fetzer ('17) in memory of his parents. The lectureship is designed to bring to campus distinguished scholars in science, math, computer science, and the environment.

Feminists in the Middle East are reacting with scorn and bewilderment to topless protests in Europe.
RABAT, Morocco — Bewilderment, scorn, resentment. Women's rights activists across the Middle East are reacting with everything but joy to topless demonstrations in Europe by a Ukrainian feminist group held in solidarity with a Tunisian woman who posted topless photos of herself protesting religious oppression.
They fear the bare breasts may hurt their cause more than help it, after FEMEN activists protested in front of mosques and Tunisian diplomatic missions last week to support 19-year-old Amina Tyler, who caused a scandal in her country with her Facebook postings.
Related: Russia's Orthodox leader calls feminism 'very dangerous'
Tyler herself, a high school student, said that while she was encouraged by the solidarity, the burning of the black flag bearing the Muslim profession of faith in front of the Paris mosque was a step too far, even if the banner has been championed by ultraconservatives and jihadists.
"I am against that," she told French TV Canal+ on Saturday. "They didn't insult a certain kind of Muslim, the extremists, but all Muslims."
Tyler, who has described herself as a FEMEN member, said she now fears for her life in Tunisia after ultraconservative Muslim clerics recommended she be stoned to death for posting the photos. She said she wants to move abroad. Tunisia is one of the most liberal countries in the region, but her protest has shocked even mainstream society in her homeland, still conservative about nudity.
When Tyler's photos were followed with the FEMEN solidarity protests, largely by European women, in Milan, Paris, Berlin and elsewhere, Tunisian women also felt as if foreigners were judging Islam.

Jenan Mubarak, of Iraq's Center for Women's Rehabilitation and Employment, endorsed Amina's right to protest, but argued that topless demonstrations were counterproductive.
"I reject the idea that a woman's body is used to reach any objective," she said. "I want others to appreciate my mind, the way I speak, to respect the way I am trying to gain my rights."
But FEMEN members ask: Would anybody have paid heed to the FEMEN message in the Middle East had the protests been fully clothed?
"I don't think if we did it with clothes on, people would pay attention to the message — it gets more attention if were are semi-nude," said Meriam, a Tunisian member of FEMEN living in Paris who asked that her last name not be used to protect her safety.
Associated Press writers Bouazza Ben Bouazza from Tunis, Tunisia and Aya Batrawy from Cairo contributed to this report.

Midfielder recalls his first Everton game, 10 years ago.
Leon Osman
Ten years ago this weekend, Leon Osman made his first senior appearance in an Everton shirt, making a late cameo away at Tottenham Hotspur. The date: Saturday 12 January 2003.
Osman's debut came about in rather unusual circumstances. He was originally excluded from the matchday 16 but an injury to Richard Wright in the warm-up resulted in Espen Baardsen stepping up to the starting line-up. Osman filled the breach on the bench and he was thrust into the limelight as a last minute substitute, replacing former Chinese international Li Tie.
"It was a bit of a whirlwind to be honest. I wasn't meant to be on the bench. Richard Wright got injured in the warm-up, so Espen Baardsen went in goal and the next thing I knew I was on the bench," Osman told evertontv earlier this week.
"I didn't get chance to warm up, I was just changed and then sat there watching a terrific game which we were unfortunate to be losing 4-3.
"The fourth official put the board up and then I was on the pitch for the last minute or two. It was a crazy day. I was disappointed that we lost but delighted to make my debut."
That match against Spurs, which ended 4-3 to the home side, is also notable as being the first time in the Everton's history that more overseas players were included in the starting line-up than British players.
For the record, the Everton team that afternoon at White Hart Lane was: Baardsen, Unsworth, Naysmith, Pistone, Stubbs, Yobo (Carsley), Gemmill, Tie (Osman), Watson, McBride, Radzinski (Unused subs: Said, Pembridge, Alexandersson)
Osman has since gone to make a total of 328 senior career appearances for Everton, 269 of which have been in the top flight. The only Blues player to appear more in the Premier League is David Unsworth, who featured in a total of 302 games in his two separate spells at Goodison Park.
During his time with Everton, Osman has played against 57 different clubs. He has faced Liverpool 18 times – more than any other team – and has scored one goal in Merseyside derbies, which was his strike in the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park earlier in the season.
Second on the list of Osman's most common opponents are Manchester United, with the 31-year-old having lined up against the Old Trafford club on 17 occasions. He has yet to score a senior goal against Sir Alex Ferguson's side, although he did once score a hat-trick for Everton reserves against United's counterparts in a 4-1 win at Altrincham.
In terms of goalscoring, the midfielder's favourite opponents are Aston Villa. Of his 48 senior career goals for Everton, five have been scored against the Villains. He has also scored four against West Bromwich Albion and three versus Sunderland, West Ham United and Wigan Athletic.
Of those aforementioned 48 goals, 36 have been netted in the top flight. That total puts him fourth on the list of the Club's top Premier League goalscorers behind Duncan Ferguson (60), Tim Cahill (56) and Kevin Campbell (45).

Some of their contributions were large, Charles Drew is probably responsible for saving millions from death or serious chronic illness, and some were less significant but each shows a man who saw a problem and found a solution.

What was the Warrior training for?
He was training to be a warrior.
Why was the warrior dreaming that he was a druid?
Because the woman he had a crush on was a druid. He was fantasizing about magic that he did not have.
Why did he go to Northrend?
Because in his dream, he saw the druid lady being attacked by a dragon.
Who was the druid lady?
A woman he saw training that he developed a crush on, that he proceeded to have a dream about.
Why did he turn into a dragon?
Because the dream became a nightmare. At the start of the dream, he saw the woman scared of a dragon, and he went to save her. By the end of the dream, it turned out that he was the dragon that she was scared of.
Why was the Druid Lady healing the human warrior?
Because in the Warrior's nightmare, he had became a dragon, and the human was fighting him off. The druid lady viewing him as a monster, and betraying him to help the people fighting him, made it more nightmarish.
