Batts' mission [Editorial]
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts' long-awaited consultant's report on how to reshape his department and drive down crime comes to what sounds like an obvious conclusion: The city's police should focus on gangs, guns and violent repeat offenders. The 200-page document underscores the extent to which that is easier said than done — it includes dozens of recommendations for changing the department's structure, procedures and use of technology. But at its heart, it tells us what we already knew — that gun crimes are the city's most pressing concern and that focused efforts by the police can help drive them down.

(A couple extra rifle/carbine tips crossed my mind last night, after I submitted this article, that were not covered in the original document, or the 1980s-era update from 7th SFG(A) (more on that to follow). So, I'll add them now as a short parenthetical statement. --J.M.)
Rifle/Carbine Tips, cont'd
- Forget about shooting center-of-mass on a standard silhouette and for CQB. Yes, you should still shoot for the center of the largest piece of a concealed enemy that shows, but if you can see the torso, aim for the hips and the head. Bad guys (of all persuasions) wear body armor and rifle plates. A hip shot, contrary to what some instructors were once teaching, is not a fight-ender. A few rounds to the hips WILL put a dude on his ass however, severely limiting his mobility. This makes it MUCH easier to make head shots that will end the fight, right-the-fuck-now. "Hips and heads, kids. Hips and heads." Instructors that are not teaching this need to re-think their paradigms.
- Paint your fucking weapons! Black items stick out in pretty much every single operational environment I've ever experienced. It's not a financial investment. If it is, you're reading the wrong fucking blog and have your head in the sand. It's a fighting tool designed to help you kill bad people more efficiently (as a retired LEO said to me recently, "God created guns, because we suck at throwing bullets!"). So, let it help you kill them more efficiently by reducing the chances that it will be the thing that gets you killed. You can Dura-Coat it, or whatever. It really doesn't matter. I use Krylon. It costs a whopping $4-5 at China-Mart, and I generally use most of two cans to completely paint a rifle (I use a base coat of tan, with highlights of green, since I live in the high-desert. If I lived in a more densely forested region, I'd probably reverse that....maybe).
- Practice shooting while you are moving. This is an issue subject to a lot of disagreement amongst seriously professional and extremely experienced gunfighters. My take is: Inside of twenty meters with a rifle, and inside ten meters with a handgun, it is possible to get solid, well-placed aimed shots to the vital targeting areas of a moving hostile (I can make solid hits at 100+meters while moving, on a stationary, so....). If you're that close to a guy who is shooting at you, and not solidly behind cover, you BETTER be fucking moving! Past that, pause for the half-step moment it takes to plant a solid hit on the dude, then keep on moving. In the meantime though, master the ability to make solid hits to the vitals ("Hips and heads, kids! Hips and heads!"), while you are sprinting from cover to cover.
- In the comments on the previous article, someone asked me my thoughts on the AR platform versus the AK, since I've never hidden my preference for the AR-15/M4 family. It takes more than a paragraph to completely describe my thoughts on that, so I'll save it for a follow-on article.
Patrolling Operational Tips
(Regardless of what your SHTF scenario predictions are, the need to conduct patrolling operations, from retreat defense security reconnaissance patrols, to raiding and ambush combat patrols, will be a necessity. Thinking otherwise is foolish.)
- When conducting any type of foot-borne patrol, always identify and communicate to all patrol members, suitable en-route rally points. In the event the patrol is scattered, due to enemy action or simple bad luck (losing contact with the guy in front of you on a night patrol sucks), these provide a way for the members of the patrol to re-establish physical contact and continue the mission or return to friendly secured areas.
- Minimize the amount of map you carry by cutting off the un-necessary portions outside of your patrol zone, but don't get too carried away with it. Leave a couple of grid squares around the edges of your AOR as "running room" in case you need to move outside the boundaries of your patrol zone to escape a contact without drawing the enemy straight back to the house (Yes, we should all know every square foot of the ground around our area. Realistically though, most of us have jobs, families, and other responsibilities that preclude being able to spend adequate time learning the country as well as we would like. Then there's that old inconvenience of private property belonging to others who dislike you trespassing on it...Carry the fucking maps.)
- Base the amount of water carried per man on the environment. A guy in hot weather in the mountains needs more than a guy in temperate forest in the upper midwest in the autumn. A guy moving through the jungle-like wetlands of the Deep South will need more than a dude moving through the moderate farmlands of New England. Plan water re-supply points into your patrol planning. Carrying some method of water purification for day two and onward is a lot less inhibiting than carrying enough water to last a six-day patrol.
- Inspect patrol member's pockets as part of pre-combat inspections, to ensure no one is carrying anything that would lead a hostile force back to the house. If you get over-run, let's not make it easy for the bad guys to find out where you came from, so they can go "visit" your wife and daughters. If you are conducting vehicle-based patrol operations, strip the rig before you start running missions in it. Pull the registration, insurance, bills-of-sale, titles, and anything else that will provide even a slightly astute hostile the information to ruin your family's life.
- Carry a notebook and pencils, in a pocket, in a waterproof container. I don't care how cool you are with your IPad-thingy-ma-bobby, write it down in pencil too. Batteries die. Write shit down! You will forget, by day four, important details you observed on day two. Write it down, so it can get disseminated through intel networks to other friendly force elements. Use pencils instead of pens. Ink will smear and run when wet. Graphite? Not so much.
- Ensure that your team medic carries cough medicine and anti-histamines in the aid bag. Don't die because you couldn't stop coughing, or had to sneeze from hay fever.
- Keep a basic SERE kit in your pockets, separate from your first-line fighting load-out. It doesn't need to be a "kit" per se, but have a fire-starter method, some 550 cord for shelter construction, a flashlight, a knife, and some way to purify and carry water if you end up having to ditch everything in an evasion scenario (I walk around with a SERE kit in my pockets even now. If I ever have to get home without the use of the roads, I want to be healthy and able to protect my family when I do arrive. Use dummy cord to retain your critical survival gear.
- While the introduction of the MOLLE system has made it realistic for guys to carry every piece of gear where it suits them best, on an individual level, some items should have SOP positions on your load-bearing equipment, in your pockets, etc. Everyone on a patrol should have at least one tourniquet in the same place (I try and standardize people having one tourniquet externally attached to the war belt, and one 100-mph taped to the stock of the rifle), maps should all be carried in the same place, and any signals operating instructions (SOI) should be carried in the same place by all personnel that are carrying them. This will allow any other member of the team to get at them in a hurry, if the original carrier is dead and the element is about to be overrun.
- Don't smoke in the field, even during daylight. Tobacco smoke is easily identifiable, and can be smelled from much further than you would realize. Further, even when not smoking, smokers (ask any non-smoker) emit a very distinct, easily recognizable odor. Really, you shouldn't use smokeless tobacco in the field either (I chew Copenhagen snuff, FYI. Want an easy way to make me like you right off the bat? Show up at a class and hand me a roll of Copenhagen snuff....), since a well-trained and experienced tracker will use your spit stains on foliage and rocks as tracking spoor.
- Keep your signal mirror and patrol whistle where they can be utilized for combat communications, on the first-line fighting load. Dummy cord them (have I beat the deceased equine adequately yet?) so you don't lose them.
- Everyone carries a high-end SureFire or other high-output combat light, but everyone should keep a low-powered, colored lens flashlight and/or headlamp on their kit too. There will be times where a light is necessary, and spotlighting with a 200 lumen SF light is a great target indicator for hostiles (incidentally, medics need white lights instead of red or blue lens lights. Know why?).
- When you are on a patrol, move like you are still hunting, because you are. Stop moving and look and listen more than you move. Don't be predictable though. Instead of "walk fifty meters, stop for twenty seconds, walk for fifty meters, stop for twenty seconds," break it up randomly.
- Do NOT break limbs or branches on trees and bushes. Don't go bulling through brush either. Gently move foliage out of your way with your hand, step past, and replace it. Reduce the amount of spoor you create to help frustrate tracking teams.
- Move at night and in the early morning hours. Hole up in the daylight, but be cautious about moving at night, since NVGs are cheap and common. Even POS kiddie toy NVGs you can buy at Wal-Mart for $50 will allow a bad guy to see you before you see him if you are not using NVGs (and those really are pieces of shit. Imagine how effective a $10,000 pair of AN/PVS-23s are...).
- Use terrain association more than your compass when possible. Have a point man and a compass man as two separate individuals. When you have to shoot an azimuth and run it, change direction frequently, to avoid setting up an enemy ambush for yourself.
- Never ditch your LBE in the field, day or night, unless it's to move faster or more silently (ditching a plate carrier in the ORP so you can move more quietly during a clandestine infiltration is viable and realistic. Ditching it to run faster to evade capture is VERY realistic). If you need to put on snivel gear, have no more than 25% of your patrol changing at any given time. Do NOT wear snivel gear when moving under a load. You WILL overheat. If the patrol leader tells you to ditch your snivel gear, do so. He's probably got a better idea of the physical demands of the coming tasks than you do, no matter how well read in you are.
- If you have to change socks (and you should, frequently), try and wait until you are in a hide site, and NEVER take off both boots at the same time. No more than 25% of the patrol should be taking care of these needs at a time, and they should never have more than one boot off.
- Wear gloves. Cheap mechanics' gloves from Home Depot can be sufficient, and are inexpensive, but consider investing in Nomex flame-retardent gloves, especially if you are performing vehicle-based operations at all. Pulling an injured team member out of a burning vehicle with normal synthetic gloves on is a surefire way to ensure there are two combat-ineffective casualties for the patrol to deal with.
- Do not discard your batteries on patrol. Keep them with you and re-charge or dispose of them in the "rear" in a secured location. It's all about the spoor leavings.
- Avoid overconfidence, apathy, and laziness. Just because you haven't seen any sign of hostiles in 3-4 days of patrolling doesn't mean he's not there. He may be watching you walk into his ambush kill zone at any time. Maintain good tactical movement and security. A large percentage of small-unit patrols historically have been compromised due to a lack of proper noise discipline.
- Camouflage your face and exposed skin at any breaks during rural/wilderness patrols.
- When you stop to occupy a temporary patrol base, even for just twenty or thirty minutes, perform a security check for 50-100 meters all around the perimeter, METT-TC dependent (in much of the west, this may be necessary for out to 1000 meters or more).
- Avoid cooking as much as possible on small-unit patrols. In the case of a serious weather event, such as a blizzard or torrential rains, it may be possible (or even necessary if you have cold-weather casualties), to get away with it, but cookfire smoke and the odors from cooking food travel a long way and will lead the bad guys right to you.
- Whether you are operating at night or during daylight, urban or rural/wilderness, every man is responsible for maintaining visual and communications contact with the man to his front and rear, and ensuring that he can receive hand-and-arm signals from the patrol leader. Watch your sector of responsibility, but watch your patrol leader just as much. He should not need to wave frantically and hiss at you to get your attention. WAKE THE FUCK UP AND PAY ATTENTION!!!!
- Unless it is pissing rain, do not urinate on rocks, leaves, or bare dirt. Rather, dig a small hole, or look for a crevice. Wet spots, or dried up wet spots are easily identifiable, even for non-tracker personnel, and the stench of your piss travels farther if its out in the open.
- Master your "cross a linear danger area" battle drill! Hell, it bears repeating: Master ALL your battle drills!
- Don't overburden yourself with extra clothes in your ruck on patrols. One dry pair of clothes to sleep in, and two spare pairs of socks is adequate.
- When halting for short rest periods, do not ditch your ruck. Do the rucksack flop. Sit back and lean against the ruck, unless you are getting in the prone. Don't toss your trash on the ground. Shove it in your pocket to dispose of properly later. When moving into a RON site or ORP/MSS (Mission Support Site), don't ditch your ruck until a security sweep has been completed.
- While on patrol, if you hear someone speaking, try and slip close enough to understand what they are saying. Take notes as soon as it is safe to do so. The reasoning should be obvious.
- When conducting surveillance missions, establish your ORP/MSS a MINIMUM of one terrain feature away from the OBJ (a fucking irrigation ditch is not a god-damned terrain feature people. Hills, mountains, cliffs, and valleys are terrain features!), and let your R&S buddy teams move to the actual observation points from there. While entire six-man teams have managed to avoid enemy detection despite being within 20 meters, in flat, middle eastern deserts, two guys, ghillied up, are a lot easier to hide from roving security patrols than a full-on hide site with four or more guys, rucksacks, and everything else.
- Switch out your R&S teams as frequently as feasible, IAW METT-TC constraints. Sitting in a hide and looking through a spotting scope or field glasses is far more exhausting than the inexperienced would surmise. An exhausted observer will miss critical details.While on patrol, never take the obvious course of action, and don't set a pattern in your actions, such as always turning left when button-hooking back to lay a hasty ambush on your own back trail.
- A dead hostile's pocket contents and pack/load-bearing equipment will typically be as valuable, or more so, than his rifle. Unless the dude is packing an M-320 (grenade launcher currently replacing the M203), or a fucking Carl Gustav, don't worry about his weapon until you've got all his other gear disposed of/dispersed for recovery.
Patrol Base Tips
- Practice proper patrol base procedures whenever your team is training, even if you are just on the rifle range. Take advantage of all training opportunities to build good habits.
- Select a tentative patrol base site, from a map reconnaissance, at least two hours before you need to move into it.
- Never move straight into a patrol base. Move past it, then button-hook out and back into the patrol base site from the off-side. Any pursuit/tracker forces will be forced to move past the patrol base, allowing you the opportunity to notice them before they're crawling in your ass.
- Upon moving into a patrol base, the team should keep their equipment on and remain alert until a security sweep has been done and then should maintain 100% security for at least another 30 minutes, before going into patrol base activities, such as weapons maintenance, chow, or personal hygiene.
- When moving a small-unit UW element into a patrol base, place the designated "point man" on the side directly away from the enemy's most likely avenue of approach. This will allow him to lead the movement out of the patrol base if it is necessary to move out in a hurry.
- Never transmit from a patrol base via radio. If you feel it necessary to relay to others where your location is, transmit while en route, and simply tell them you will RON 1000 meters to the north/south/east/etc, of a known landmark in the area that will not be recognizable to the enemy by that name.
- If you do have to transmit via radio from your patrol base, ensure that you are moving the fuck out, no less than 60 seconds later, to avoid being targeted due to RDF threats.
- The patrol leader should, as part of his patrol base activities, personally check on every man in the element. At that time, he should specify the primary and alternate rally points in case of a contact while in the patrol base. One half of the team should have their compasses set on the primary rally point and other half on the alternate. If the enemy comes from the direction of the primary rally point, the element with with his azimuth set to the alternate rally point can lead the way out of the patrol base.
- Ensure that ranger buddies are next to each other in the patrol base. In the event one is wounded, his buddy should be responsible for ensuring that he is evacuated with the patrol if it is necessary to exfil the patrol base in a hurry.
- Your ruck should be stashed with the shoulder straps "up" so it can be slipped on in a hurry. It is permissible to sleep with the plate carrier or chest harness off, but at a minimum, the first-line gear should remain on. If all else fails, and the patrol base is being overrun before the shooter has time to kit up, at least he will have a fighting load on his person to continue killing the enemy.
- If a person coughs or talks in his sleep, gag him. Seriously...
- Don't bunch up, or sleep next to each other, but remain close enough that you can touch the other guy's shoulder without moving your body. This will facilitate communications within the patrol base.
- If you are conducting vehicle-borne patrolling, the same basic fundamentals apply. Don't sleep inside the vehicles, or under them. Move away from them a few meters. If the enemy hits the convoy in an attack, the vehicles will be the primary target. Leave a security team on the vehicles, but sleep away from them to avoid getting caught by the anti-vehicle weapons of the enemy.
- Develop your plan for the next operational phase before you rack out. Communicate it to key leaders, so they have time to develop their part of the plan.
- If you develop the ability to procure/manufacture early warning devices, such as tripwire-activated flares, they should be placed one at a time around the patrol base perimeter, by a two-man buddy team. One sets the device, while his buddy pulls security. Always emplace such devices where the patrol will be able to maintain visual contact with it. It doesn't do you much good to have a tripwire-activated flare if you can't shoot the dude who just walked into it.
- In the absence of fragmentation grenades, CS or other noxious gas grenades are your friend in patrol base security. If the team discovers an enemy patrol moving in on them, the enemy will normally be in a skirmish line type movement formation, since they don't know the exact position of the team (see FM 7-8 for the battle drill "React-to-Contact"). If pre-designated members of the patrol can lob CS grenades in the direction of the enemy, when the gas disperses, the team can withdraw. If the enemy does not have protective masks, he will tend to move away and fire his weapon blindly in a "recon by fire." If he does have a mask and puts it on, his field of vision is severely curtailed. In either case, his OODA loop is interrupted, confusion has been sown, and the team has a better than even chance of escaping.
- If you are in a patrol base overnight, stand-to should occur for at least 30 minutes before first light, and another security patrol should be made before early warning devices are recovered or the entire team withdraws from the patrol base.
- The assistant patrol leader should be the last man out of the patrol base and must make a thorough check of the site to ensure that no equipment or trash is left behind. The reason for not leaving equipment behind is obvious, but even innocuous trash like a candy bar wrapper can be of intelligence value to hostiles (let's argue that you're doing a post-SHTF security patrol and you negligently leave a Snickers bar wrapper in the patrol base. Along come some hungry, angry, armed Hells Angels types....Now they've got solid information that you have something of value--food--to make it worth their while to track you down and take your shit).
- Do not fall into the development of habits. Be unpredictable. Always moving into your RON site at 1945, always taking a noon break at 1230, or always moving out of the patrol base at 0600 is setting yourself up to be ambushed. Don't be stupid.
In 1988, following a lengthy series of jungle-based operations, 1/7th SFG(A) developed and wrote an update of the 1970 B-52 tips. These were entitled the B-720 Tips, and did not include some of the subjects that the B-52 Tips did, which had, by then, become doctrinal methods (such as PW snatches, and movement techniques when patrolling).
Most of all, the update was intended, like my own feeble attempt, to bring the old tips into accordance with then-current technology advances. I am including some of the relevant portions of that document (with a hale and hearty tip of the beret to Lizard Farmer for sending me a link to the B-720 tips. I had heard of them, but don't recall ever seeing an actual hard copy. It was interesting to see things as "tips" that were basically doctrine by the time I entered the SOF world), with update comments, like above, that differ from the original B-52 Tips.
Uniform/Clothing Tips
- When conducting rural/wilderness operations/patrolling, wear camouflage utilities, or at least different colored clothing. When wet, solid colored dark clothing, such as olive green utilities (OG-107s) will appear solid black when viewed through NVGs. Camouflage patterns, while dark, will still disrupt your silhouette.
- Tuck your shirt into your trousers. You can't use the lower pockets on a BDU-type blouse with LBE on anyway, and with the top tucked in, you can throw spent mags down the front of your shirt rather than fucking around with a "dump pouch" (this was doctrine at both the Ranger Regiment and Group by the time I arrived at those units. It is interesting to see that the Army finally figured the whole lower pocket thing out with the development of the ACU-pattern uniform. Too bad they fucked up the camouflage part).
- While luminous tape ("cat eyes") have a valid function, they glow like a fucking flashlight through NVGs, so don't become reliant on them in a world where the enemy may have even better NVGs than you do, unless you are using them specifically to allow overwatch elements to identify friend versus foe, and then be very judiscious.
- Sew a section of VS-17 signal panel into the inside of your patrol hat/boonie/baseball cap. While you probably won't be using it to signal recovery air assets, it can be used for visual signaling purposes between patrol elements. Sewing a small square of IR "glint tape" in the center of it can facilitate intra-patrol signaling at night, with NVGs on.
- If you use a solid colored rucksack (ALICE pack, some of the newer MOLLE-compatible rucks in Coyote or Ranger Green, etc), break up the silhouette of the pack with some judiciously applied Krylon (for participants in classes, has anyone ever noticed that my coyote brown warbelt and plate carrier has large swathes of dark green spraypaint applied?). Obviously, this won't necessarily apply to a covert infiltration pack, such as a civilian day pack, used in urban areas.
NVG Tips
(NVGs, or to use the older term with which I am far more comfortable, NODs, are a force multiplier of equal or greater value than two or three extra riflemen, when used properly. If you have six rifles of your own, but no NODs, you're fucking yourself and your team. Remedy the situation.)
- Don't try and wear your NODs 100% of the time when it's dark out. US forces have come to depend too much on their NODs, leading to over-reliance. NODs result in horrid tunnel vision, and as humans we are more comfortable relying on our sense of sight than our other senses. People tend to ignore what their other senses are telling them, if the image in their NODs doesn't say the same thing. Hiding from NODs is actually easier than hiding from naked vision in daylight, since it's monochrome.
- People ask me in classes a lot, what I think of the importance of helmets in UW. I think they are necessary in three situations: 1) combat in built-up areas (I've seen guys get knocked flat the fuck out when they ran headfirst into a door jam they didn't see), 2) performing mountaineering operations (I've caught more than one dislodged stone on my brain bucket when a climber above me kicked loose rocks. Without a helmet on, in several cases, I would have been dead, rather than just suffering from a bitch of a headache), and 3) when you're going to be wearing NODs a lot. The old "skullcrusher" NOD mounts sucked, and got their nickname for a reason. It's far more comfortable (which means you'll use them more), to mount them on a well-engineered helmet. Either mount your NODs on a helmet mount (Protec makes relatively inexpensive, non-ballistic helmets specifically tailored for tactical use), or keep them in a easily accessible pouch on the front of your LBE where you can get at them easily and frequently (either way, fucking dummy cord those expensive cocksuckers. How pissed off would your wife be if you told her you lost a $3000-10,000 piece of critical gear because you were too fucking stupid to bother tying it off with a $0.05 piece of cord?).
- Use your NODs to observe when you are in the overwatch position of a team bounding overwatch movement. When you are actually bounding, flip the NODs up out of the way, or stash them in the pouch, and rely on your night vision and other senses. When you finish your bound and move into a position to overwatch the other element, use your NODs to make visual contact with the opposite team leader and signal him that you are in position and he can begin his bound.
- Only every other man (or even just the team leaders) should use their NODs when moving. The buddy team member running NODs and/or the team leader, should be running tracer and ball alternating in his magazines, to identify where the non-NOD equipped shooter should direct his fires (Why, yes, Jeeves, tracers do work both ways! No one is suggesting you sit on one fucking spot and engage the enemy with a stream of tracers, you fucking ninny. Shoot a short burst to get your buddy or subordinates bringing hate on that spot, while you move one way or the other and acquire a new target to light up and identify. Is it really that hard to figure out?).
- NODs and Thermal Imaging Sights function differently, in different light spectrums, but they can complement each other well. If most of your team/element/crew/group has PVS-7s or -14s, consider investing in a thermal sight instead to complement them on operations (again, we're not getting into the application or counters to thermal imaging sights on an open blog on the internet. Get the fuck over it or quit reading).
- Do not mount your PVS-14 on your weapon unless you're in a sniper-specific duty position. It will be far more useful on your fucking face. Instead, invest a few hundred bucks on an IR aiming laser device like the DBAL. Don't just turn the IR laser and keep it on though. Instead, use it just like a white light device. Acquire a shooting position, with the weapon pointed at the enemy, flash the laser long enough to shoot the bad guy, turn the laser back off, and MOVE (see the above parenthetical comment about tracers. Lasers ARE tracers to NODs!).
Hopefully some of you will put these tips into practice in your regular individual and collective tasks training with your crews. You are actually training, right?

Bought the sage bag for my son and the blue tweed for my daughter. They both loved the bag. My daughters 128 fits great in the 135 bag. My son's rides a 116 so the bag will still work great when he moves up to the next size. Great quality and great looking. My wife now wants a new ski bag. Luckily dakine makes those too.

Dynamic Revenue Maximization with Heterogeneous Objects: A Mechanism Design Approach
AbstractWe study the revenue-maximizing allocation of several heterogeneous, commonly ranked objects to impatient agents with privately known characteristics who arrive sequentially. There is a deadline after which no more objects can be allocated. We first characterize implementable allocation schemes, and compute the expected revenue for any implementable, deterministic and Markovian allocation policy. The revenue-maximizing policy is obtained by a variational argument which sheds more light on its properties than the usual dynamic programming approach. Finally, we use our main result in order to derive the optimal inventory choice, and explain empirical regularities about pricing in clearance sales. (JEL C61, D21, D82)

A Unique of Bathroom Decor
Classic and timeless are all very well but if the family should have the new bathroom decor in question both have a colorful strong personality and some odd ideas about how a beautiful bathroom could look like, so there is good potential for their particular choice of bathroom will to make an impression even on you.
How can it be that the manufacturers that make bathroom fittings, prepare colorful, quirky and sometimes almost bit crazy ideas in new bathrooms and yet it is the whites, neutrals and classic bathrooms perched at Top?
Are we Swedes are so afraid to stand out or are we perhaps even unsure of what style we like. Maybe we want, clean out, do not have any eye-catching and unique in the bathroom. Unfortunately, we believe in bathroom trends that a lot of our ideas are in our heritage and our culture. An argument often heard is that a bathroom should be neutral to keep the style of the time but what is there to say that a silver or gold bathroom disagree style over time? If gold or silver is your personal style so will your unique bathroom that feel just as modern and different now after 15 years.
A unique bathroom decor gives the bathroom a soul and an expression that is solid. Here we show Vedums example of a unique bathroom with a mix of different styles. The rustic bathroom cabinets, rustic floor with the rough ceramic tiles resembling bricks and tiles that is of a more long-distance Far East style. Together they give the whole a rural and quiet style with a nice touch of spicy details. To the bathroom, even though it is not visible in the picture, contains both a bath and shower makes it even more complete.
Classic lines in bathroom decor are things that still demand a lot and a stylish twist with a sense of modern softness invites Dansani on. Not a corner or hard-edged but just soft rounded lines throughout. This applies to the bathroom cabinet, bathroom mirror and bathroom interior with drawers under the sink. If you want the whole bathroom will remain classic and neutral and we will match you with light gray towels and rug and want to put a little more life and energy into the bathroom decor, you can choose orange or turquoise which is both energetic and vibrant colors.

Chapter 4 Rachel The Snake0 Reviews
Rachel has set her targets on the training agents, there goes the neighborhood
Agent #1( Yawning) So- sleepy- can't- fight- sleep- much- longer.
Training leader( Sipping coffee) You have to fight sleep Numbah 362's back with a vengeance and her daughter looks downright sweet but she has Numbah 362's fight I bet.
Training Agent 1 was a boy named David Andrews and Rachel had it out for him for making people forget her when she left the KND.
Training leader: Just do what I do and fill up on caffeine, I mean it helps and I've been awake for going on one week now.
David shuffled to his room thinking there would be no harm falling asleep but he didn't know how wrong he was.
David(Covering himself up) He has no idea what he's saying, I mean she can't be back and this is just a prank one of the agents are playing on us.
The training leader was Billy Macarthur and he knew his team was in trouble especially David because he was more than likely going to sleep at that moment.
Billy: I just hope he knows what's in store for him when he falls asleep, she's been wanting to get even with him most of all.
The picture winked at Billy and Rachel's laughter could be heard as Trish cooed in the picture waving.
Billy(Crossing David's name off a list) I just have to keep the others awake somehow, there's no telling who Rachel will go to once she has David's soul.
Billy went to check on his sleepy team as they drank coffee, soda, energy drinks, and powered up on candy.
Billy: Brace yourselves agents Numbah 362 is getting who she wants for now but if we can stay awake she'll have no power over the rest of us.
The agents looked scared and stared at David's door as it locked and they knew that it was a great possibility that Rachel's soul locked the door so they couldn't get to him.
Meanwhile David was lightly snoring as a laughter rang throughout his head and he crashed through a roof of an old house.
David: What am I doing here and why does this house seem familiar?, I mean it's like total Deja vu here.
Rachel slowly walked down the stairs with Trish as Trish giggled swinging her scepter around and a white light erupted from it as Rachel smiled down at her.
Rachel: This boys mommy's but with your new dreampower I think you can get another agent down here for you.
Trish giggled blowing a breath from her mouth and in reality Billy slowly made his way to his room and fell asleep as Tristan clapped her hands knowing she did good thanks to Rachel's teachings.
Meanwhile David is walking down a long hall examining things as Billy fell in front of him and David jumped back in surprise.
Billy: You have to wake up David I mean I'm stronger in dream world I always was, but you're weak and I can't protect the both of us.
David(Acting Macho) And who said I needed protecting?, and who said Rachel wasn't back?, and who said the picture was a prank?, it was all me and I don't know when you're going to start believing me.
Billy: All right genius who's house do you think we're in?, why does this house seem familiar to you?, why can't you take the fact that Rachel's back?, because your so macho that you think you can take her again but your wrong.
David: Oh puhlease she wasn't that tough before what could five years do to her?, I mean she's just a stupid girl anyways.
The hall became longer and Billy noticed as he gulped and Rachel grinned following David's every move.
Rachel(Whispering) Your dead meat now David Andrews, making people forget me was bad but keeping me at bay was worse and it's about time you paid the price.
Billy stopped at Trish's nursery door to take a break as the door opened like a gust of wind opened it and it slammed shut locking itself with Trish in her crib waving her scepter like a magic wand.
Billy: I have a really bad feeling about this, and I think David's last fight with Rachel isn't going to end well.
Trish cooed as she stood up in her crib her blue eyes connecting with Billy's eyes and he was tranced to follow Trish to the ends of the Earth but he walked to her crib instead.
Trish: Goo goo gaa gaa, goo goo gaa gaa gooooooooooooooooooo!
Billy(Petting Trish's hair) Aren't you cute, so do you know a way I could get out of here?
Trish nodded her head yes as Billy hugged her and Trish hid her scepter behind her back cackling like Rachel did to Nigel when he became her.
Billy: All right then sweetie let's get us out of here and then I'll make you Numbah 1 again and then maybe you'll listen when I say trouble's brewing.
Trish happily kicked her feet back and forth on Billy's knee as she pointed to the left and he saw a dead end and Trish smiled waving her scepter making the other part of the wall a dead end too.
Trish: Goo goo gaa gaa, goo goo gaa gaa gooooooooooooooooo!
Trish waved her scepter and pointed it at Billy as a blue light shot at him and his tummy was growing stuffing as his arms, legs, feet, and chest also grew stuffing.
Rachel(Smiling down at Billy) Well, well, well looks like my sweetie learned the power of her scepter and I found a way back into the KND.
Billy couldn't say anything as his voice left him and he grew fur, glass eyes, and a long purple robe and scepter like Trish as she hugged Billy and kissed him.
Rachel: KND training agents here I come, time to meet your makers Rachel and Trish Mckenzie.
Trish cooed and hugged her new teddy as Rachel skipped off to show David just how strong she became in the five years she was gone.
David(Panting) This- is- bullshit-, I- mean- why- did- Billy- have- to- go- and- get- himself- lost- anyways?
Rachel smiled wider seeing her hall take it's toll on David and she skipped up behind him her scepter raised and she grew a Freddy glove on her right hand.
Rachel: Exactly what I wanted now to chop this little piggy up.
Rachel's ungloved hand grabbed David and spun him around as her blue eyes flashed with triumph and happiness.
Rachel: Hmmmmmmmmmm what was your name again?, I tend to forget the names of people who make other people forget me.
David: It's David Andrews and it's about time you found me, I mean how long does it take one person to find a training agent?
Rachel grabbed David and pinned him against the wall gnashing her claws near his stomach cackling.
Rachel: Soon you're going to be an agent kabob, now I'm feeling generous so if you want to offer me your slavery now's the time to do it.
David put his hands on his head and Rachel knew what he was doing as she giggled at him.
David: Nigel help me I know you can hear me, please don't let her take me like she took the others.
Rachel stabbed David's stomach as he screamed in pain and a necklace he was wearing was pulled off and put around Trish's neck.
Rachel: No more immortality for you, the trick to calling someone is making sure their alive when you do it, or even themselves.
David(Weak) What- the- hell- have- you- done- with- Nigel- you- stupid- bitch?
Rachel(Producing Trish) Introducing the first of many daughters I will have, the one, the only, the Nigel Uno killer herself, Trish Ariel Mckenzie the 1st.
David moaned painfully as the glove went deeper sinking into his stomach as Rachel got eye to eye with him.
Rachel: Too bad there's not a next time for you, as for your little friends there's no next time for them either, I'm the new training agent leader and my will be done.
David forced the glove out as Rachel grinned coming up with a new plan as she showed David Nigel's anklet that gave him immortality.
Rachel: It looks better on me, now you and I have business so I'll put Trish to bed and be back in an a jif.
Once Rachel left David sighed relief that she didn't know his other dreampower as he swiped his hand over his stomach making the cuts disappear.
David: The stupid bitch doesn't know that I have immortality without or with the fucking necklace.
Rachel placed Trish in her crib with Billy as Trish cooed and kissed Rachel and Billy and then she yawned and her eyes drooped to good morning to you being played on her mobile.
David( Sticking a note on the wall) There let's see you find me now you bitch.
David snapped his eyes open as he was in his own bed and he saw that Billy made headline news.
Anchorman: And in a bizarre turn of events a little boy has gone missing from the KND treehouse today and will probably be forgotten sooner or later back to you Rachel.
Rachel cackled inside of the TV as the color's swirled and John's mom walked in stopping the nightmare.
David's mom(Feeling his forehead) Geez your burning up sweetie maybe you should stay home today and get some rest, I mean you certainly need it.
David(Weak) But- Billy- Macarthur- gone- missing- I- know- where- he- is- have- to- stay- awake.
David's mom: You will not be going to school today young man, and this Billy Macarthur you speak of must not exist because I've never met him.
David: Yes you have we've had sleepover's here, playdates, snowball fights, hot chocolate, he was my best friend mom.
David's mom: You're delirious David you just need to get some more sleep that's all.
Before he could object his door closed and locked and then we hear David's mom's car pulling out of the driveway and he sighed agitated and sad trying to stay awake.
David(Turning on the TV) I guess the news hasn't forgotten Billy.
David found a Coke by his bed as he chugged it not knowing his mom spiked it with sleeping pills as the news came back on.
Anchorman: The next missing person in this bizarre case is Nigel Uno, and the next well that's for our anchorwoman Rachel Mckenzie to decide.
Rachel cackled as the colors swirled again and David screamed as the colors turned into a hand covering his mouth.
Rachel: Shhhhhhhhhhhhh you need your rest and mama Rachel will be sure to give it to you.
David was pulled back into the dreamworld with Rachel stepping on his stomach a triumphant smile on her face and in her eyes.
Rachel: You didn't think I was going to let you leave without saying goodbye did you?, that would be bad manners and us girls know our manners.
David(Pushing Rachel's leg off of him) Yea and I have no manners so meet my fist bitch.
Rachel: But I haven't even gotten to the best part of the nightmare yet, you're going to become me and you're going to help me feed off the souls of the KND training agents.
David(Grinning) Yea and what are you going to do to turn me into you?, use that stupid stick you think is so magical to manipulate me?
Rachel(Opening her mouth) Nuh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
David(Cracking up) What- am- I- you're- fucking- dentists?
Rachel opened wider as a white light erupted from her body and then she was gone as David smiled at the pile of dust that he thought was Rachel Mckenzie.
David(Jumping up and down happily) Take that bitch now the agents will sleep another night with David the Rachel Mckenzie slayer by their side.
Trish curled her lip at David pouting it about to cry as David cackled in her face and snapped his eyes opened not knowing his nightmare monster was now in reality with him.
David(Laying on his hands) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is the life, no school, no mom, no nightmares, and to cap it all off a whole day devoted to TV.
Rachel's POV(cackling) Sounds like fun to me, but you forgot poor Trish the poor thing thinks her mommy's dead let's show her differently.
David(Scared) Where the hell are you bitch?, and what do you mean show her differently?
Rachel relaxed inside of David's body as she shot another white light into it and he moaned falling to the floor.
Rachel's POV: I'm like a snake David I can shed my skin, and my little girl is sleeping thanks to me she's also stopped crying.
David(Weak) You- bitch- you'll- never- learn- that- I- will- always- win- and- you- will- always- lose.
Rachel's POV: Looks like I'm winning now David, soon I'll shed this skin and you'll be nothing but bones, what will your poor mother do without you?
David screamed in pain as Rachel's soul was getting closer and he saw his fingernails becoming sparkly and purple on one side and Rachel's clawed glove on the other.
Rachel's POV: See I'm winning and you're losing, it's about time you learned that you can't win every fight but I can I'm immortal he, he, he, he, heeeeeee.
David crawled from his room and to the bathroom as he slowly stood up and Rachel was making her appearance as David saw his clothes change to a jean skirt and a yellow top.
Rachel's POV: I think these clothes make you look slimming now for the final piece and then you will be gone and I will be able to kill the little training agent piglets.
David tried waking himself up as he reached for the hot water spout and Rachel cackled the spout turning into a clawed glove as it grabbed him.
Rachel's POV: Time to due away with the bad apples in the KND starting with you piglet.
David screamed as his skin was ripping and being replaced by Rachel's skin as she cackled inside of him.
Rachel: I told you I was like a snake David, now you get to experience me first hand.
David's leg skin ripped as did his organs and his eyes changed color as Rachel smiled thinly seeing David still trying to fight her.
Rachel(Ripping David's hands) I can see that you don't know when to give up David, so here let me help you and say give up.
David screamed in pain as his veins were ripped from his body and lastly his organs as Rachel puckered and kissed him his last kiss as his breath stopped.
Rachel: Poor, poor boy you should know by now that I only lose once, after that I'll succeed every single time.
David's skin and skeleton fell to the ground as Rachel laugh sounded evil triumphant and she walked from the house ready to enroll in the Kids Next Door.

Just like the hotel that has recently seen Lil Kim and Steven Tyler, this collection of artistry felt more rock & roll rather than stuffy like some art galleries might tend to lean towards! I loved the original sketch of #MarilynMonroe by #RichardDuardo and #Audrey by #FreeHumanity ! With such original pieces by fresh faces (and some for just a few hundred dollars) it's a great way to start collecting! (Taken with Instagram)

Animals have been helping humans for thousands of years, but can a parrot solve a murder?
According to multiple media reports, the answer is yes.
The Times of India reports newspaper editor Vijay Sharma returned to his home Feb. 20 and found his wife dead. The family dog had also been killed.
Police struggled for a week to get any leads but the husband noticed his wife's parrot, Hercule, went nuts when his nephew visited the home. The talking bird also began screeching any time someone mentioned the nephew's name.
Sharma told police in Agra about Hercule's strange behavior and police picked up the nephew for questioning.
The nephew admitted the crime, telling police he and an accomplice had intended to burglarize the home but he stabbed his aunt and the barking dog to death after they spotted him.
Hercule, the Times of India reports, "watched silently."
That's a lovely story, but is it true?
A reader in the comments points out the bird's name and species is a little too close

Strange fruit?
Tonight I want to initiate my Cubs into the wonderful world of exotic fruit.
I managed to find passion fruit and mangosteens and ramboutans but I know there's more out there. I was tempted to pick up some durian but that might turn them off fruit forever.
Have you seen anything cool lately? Any suggestions for a good place to shop?
You should try and get your hands on some soursop/guanabana. One of my favorite exotic fruits. When I was growing up in Latin countries my father used to tell me it tasted like every fruit in the world. I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that, but it does have an incredible flavour and very distinctive texture. I've seen it in Montreal only once - I just can't remember where! Anyone?
Durian can smell quite strong, but can be very tasty. Instead of buying the fruit try buying durian icecream or sweets at your local Asian market.
Alternatively, here are some fresh fruit to try:
-asian pears (found almost anywhere) are shaped like an apple, yellow and have a light, slightly nutty flavour. Everybody likes them! It's an easy one to adopt
-Lychee, these are again easy enough to find. Sami fruit is a good place to find fresh ones. The shell is prickly but fun to peel. Very sweet taste
-Dragon Fruit aka pitaya Ok this is VERY exotic indeed, and not so easy to find. I discovered them in Hong Kong and went crazy for them. Recently i've seen them at IGA and Metro but i would stay far away from these. Instead go for an asian market, Marche Orientale near Jean-Talon, Marche Hawaii or perhaps KimPhat has these. They are a pink and green peel fruit while the interior must be white with black dots. Texture is close to a melon. Choose one that is "fat" and round over a longish one.
PS: if you want exotic fruit, just wander around Jean-Talon market, foreign groceries or go to Sami Fruit (various locations). These are excellent places to discover new things and decent price.
re: SourberryLily
Is it just me, or does dragonfruit have virtually no taste? Gorgeous fruit, but boring and not worth the cost.
re: vorpal
Yes, that is the case :p
Its a cactus-fruit and it has a decent yield. It should probably be cheaper but the shipping/ low demand makes it expensive to sell outside of asia.
In response to the thread, I really enjoyed picking apart a pomegranate in the yard when I was a kid. This should be done in clothes you don't fear staining....or as I experienced, in swim trunks on the grass.
re: FullPalate
It has really nice taste... where it's originated. Here it tastes too much like water. To get tasty ones, the trick is to choose "fat" small ROUND ones over long oblong ones. Also, they must be bring pink and firm to the touch.
Cherimoya and cactus pears are two others. Guavas (they'll never forget the smell). Rose apples would be an amazing find.
JTM, Atwater, Marché Hawaii, Kim Phat (the big ones), Chinatown
Just back from a whirlwind tour of the Jean Talon Market. Checked Chez Nino and Chez Louis while there; the latter has a slightly larger selection of exotic fruits. Among the fruits I saw were cherimoya (custard apple), dragon fruit, logan, tamarillo, pomegranate, carambola (star fruit), kumquat, melano (horned melon), citron, finger lime (caviar lime), red currant, Sicilian blood orange and, I think, sugar apple (sweet sop). There were a few others that I'm forgetting. Sorry. Didn't have time to compile a list.
Soon, there'll be Alphonso and Kesar mangoes at the Indian markets, later this summer there'll be Korean melons at the Korean markets, you missed the Hami melons, fresh Jackfruit is hard to find but the canned jackfruit can be interesting as part of a fruit salad, you still might find some blood oranges around but I think they're all gone too, and ripe sapodillas and persimmons would be good to try on them but beware of unripe ones as the astringent pucker would put them off the fruit.
I really like Passion Fruit. I found really nice ones at the atwater market the other day, they were really big compared to ones you would see at iga..
Sour sop Ive had in Jamaica and it has a great flavor but the texture is literally like wet toilet paper.
My post got deleted, but that's ok since most of the stuff i was suggesting was mentioned by others.
The one thing in my post that was not there was a suggestion that if your Cubs like the fruit concept that you try it with exotic veggies/nuts sometime in the future.
I would suggest green (undried, uncooked) chickpeas (available now at JTM), raw pistachios (again uncooked), raw almonds -pod can be eaten before the almond has formed and later in the season, you eat the acual almond, raw walnuts, chestnuts, etc..... all wonderful tasting things that i have eaten here in montreal at one point or another...
re: The Chowhound Team
Sorry, i did not meam you had deleted it. THere was nothing remotely offensive in it. It just got lost in cyberspace.
Thank you everyone!
I ended up with a LOT of neat things, the first meeting I shopped mainly near Victoria and Sherbrooke as well as the IGA in St. Henri and ended up with: blood oranges, passion fruit, grenadillo (the hit of the night), carambola, ramboutan (another hit), mangousteen (awful quality, an $8 waste from IGA), cactus pear, kumquats, pomelo and many other things I can't remember.
This week I went to Jean Talon market and hit paydirt: longan, kiwi berries, aloe (ICK!!!), kiwano, pitiyaha, dragon fruit, guaybana, baby bananas, cheymoya (the hit of the night), sugar cane, sweet and meyer lemons, a mango from Haiti that was amazing and something I still don't know the name of and so much more.
My Cubs tried everything and had a BLAST. Thank you all so much for your advice.
re: mellybean
I was really curious to find how the whole "dégustation exotique" had gone down. Thanks for the followup!

"We arrived at ICU fearful of Dr. Dandy as we had firsthand knowledge of the power of this man. We witnessed residents rotating through the ICU with the same fear," Christine Harward Watts, a registered nurse, told Mr. Smithwick. "We came to realize that this man's bark was far worse than his bite."
Dr. Dandy's irascibility was at times aimed toward hospital administrators.
"Like most great physicians, Dr. Dandy had little appreciation for hospital administrators. When he wanted something done, he wanted it done immediately. He was infamous for calling administrators after 5 p.m. demanding 'to speak to the biggest shot still there,' " said Ms. Watts.
"He was always irritating someone, but his nurses appreciated the outcomes. He was truly a brilliant and powerful man who knew how to get things done," she said.
A former resident of Hunt Club Lane in North Roland Park, Dr. Dandy moved to a Monkton farm that he named Sylvian Fissure, where he built a greenhouse and indulged his passion for growing camellias.
He also filled his fields with varieties of vegetables and boasted of being an organic gardener since the 1930s. He credited his grandfather with teaching him how to grow them.
In his retirement, Dr. Dandy was a docent at the Walters Art Museum for 20 years. An avid bird watcher, he taught schoolchildren at Cylburn Arboretum.
He pursued model railroading — preferring O-gauge Lionel trains. He was a member of the Hamilton Street Club, Elkridge Club and Yeamans Hall Club in South Carolina.
He was a longtime member and former board president of Brown Memorial Woodbrook Presbyterian Church, 6200 N. Charles St., where a memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Aug. 24.
In addition to his wife of 65 years, Dr. Dandy is survived by two sons, Walter E. Dandy III of Vail, Colo., and John Dandy of Prospect Harbor, Maine; two daughters, Carol Beckley of Austin, Texas, and Nancy Patz of Grand Junction, Colo.; three sisters, Kathleen Gladstone of Wellesley, Mass., Mary Ellen Marmaduke of Portland, Ore., and Margaret Gontrum of Eugene, Ore.; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

Per the good folks at ComicBookMovie.com, who base their reporting on a Disney investors' call, Joss Whedon, who co-wrote and directed The Avengers, will return for the movie's sequel for Marvel, and also will be developing the planned ABC Marvel superhero show. It's about as perfect a fit as I can imagine, giving the artistic and commercial success of The Avengers. And if the ABC show centers on a woman, it would fit beautifully with Whedon's brand, given his success with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, arguably the best successful superhero show of the last two decades, and his terrific expansion of Black Widow in The Avengers. Such a move would also help expand make Marvel's on-screen universe more balanced, making this continued pairing an especially good fit.

It's the age-old question, new school or old school? In this video recently featured on our Motor Trend YouTube channel simply called Project 370Z, Nissan asked its multitude of Z car fans to create the ultimate 370Z track beast. Fans also had the chance to pick a challenger for the 370Z, which turned out to be a Datsun 240Z. But in case you thought it wouldn't be a fair fight, rest assured this isn't your average 240Z. This particular example has the heart of a RB26DETT beating under the hood.
Built by Gordon MacSwain from Columbus, Ohio, the Datsun produces around 360 horsepower. The Nissan 370Z, built by Steve Lam, was a fierce contender as well, as it was equipped with a turbo kit from Greddy. The epic showdown took place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. So did the newer 370Z with advance technology win? Or did the Japanese nostalgic car show it who was boss?

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Ervin Santana tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings and the Los Angeles Angels blanked the Oakland Athletics, 4-0, to earn a split of a short two-game series at Angel Stadium.
Santana (2-6) scattered four hits and walked three while striking out nine. Scott Downs got the final out in the eighth and the first two hitters in the ninth before Ernesto Frieri struck out Kurt Suzuki to end the game.
"I felt great today, I had good command. It is much easier when you have run support," said Santana. "My first inning was tough and then I felt better after that. I threw strikes and tried to stay ahead of the hitters."
Mike Trout went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and three runs scored, Albert Pujols had three hits for the first time since April 19th and added two RBI and Alberto Callaspo had an RBI double among his two hits for the Angels, who had lost three of their last four games.
Cliff Pennington and Kila Ka'aihue each ripped doubles for the A's, who have dropped two of their last three games.
Bartolo Colon (3-4) allowed four runs on 12 hits without walking a batter and fanning three in defeat.
Los Angeles opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-out rally. Trout got things started with a single back through the box and Callaspo followed by slicing a double down the right field line that brought home Trout for the first run of the inning. Pujols then ripped one to short that couldn't be handled by Pennington, and Callaspo scored to make it 2-0.
The Angels tacked on a run in the fifth. Trout slapped a one-out single into left, stole second, and moved to third on a throwing error by Suzuki before crossing home on an infield single by Pujols.
Oakland put together a threat in the sixth when Jemile Weeks looped a base hit to right with one out and stole second before Pennington walked to put runners on first and second with two outs. Santana then walked Josh Reddick to load the bases, but he recovered to strike out Seth Smith and keep the A's off the board.
"Ervin pitched well today," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "After the third inning, because of the shadows, we couldn't see the spin on the ball. He kept us off balance."
Los Angeles added another insurance run in the seventh when Trout led off the inning by turning on a middle-in fastball from Colon and sending it over the wall in right-center field.
The A's fell to 8-5 in the month of May and 9-13 in games decided by more than two runs this season...Los Angeles improved to 15-4 when scoring four-or-more runs...Santana improved to 14-4 in his career against Oakland, while Colon fell to 9-6 in his career against the Angels...Oakland went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight, while Los Angeles was 3-for-4 with men in scoring position and left seven.

Matter Of Decision Lyrics
I'd be home free if I could make up my mind,What to do about you.One minute I think I love you, the next I'm playing the fool.You're such a part of me, can't tear myself away from you.Don't care what people say, I just wanna be close.I've changed my mind a thousand times,Now it's a case of do or die.There's no more time to reason why.Now it's a matter of decision,Why can't I make up my mind? I can't stand this indecision,I'm going out of my mind.The world is in such a sorry state.In the papers, in the news.Politicians can't see their hands from their feet,Nobody cares about the truth.Wish I could make the world a better place for you and me.You always run and hide, I only wanna be close.The teachers stuff your head with lies,And make it hard to realize,What's going on, what's wrong, what's right.Well, it's a matter of decision,We all must make a stand,For everything that we believe in,Every woman, every man.It's a matter of decision.A matter of decision, a matter of decision.
