Some expected a circus. Instead, golf fans were treated to a great tournament, highlighted by remarkable shots from all over the course.
In the end, Phil Mickelson donned the green jacket for a third time. He fired a 5-under, 67 on Sunday to pull away from a star-studded logjam atop the leaderboard.
As for the circus' main attraction, Tiger Woods finished in fourth, thanks to a misbehaving driver and putter. When asked if his standards of success were different in his return to golf after 144 days away, Woods replied, "I entered this event and I enter events to win," he said. "I didn't get that done."
He did, however, earn a cool $330,000 for tying with K.J. Choi at 11-under. Mickelson snatched up $1,350,000.
By all accounts, the heckling of Woods that was expected was kept to a minimum, although security guards were quick to pounce any wayward comment from patrons. And, of course, there was infamous airplane banners, which flew above Augusta on Thursday. That plane never reappeared, thanks to the FAA.
Among the other storylines, veteran Tom Watson held a share of the first-round lead, but stumbled in the final three rounds and finished at a respectable 1-under.
Another veteran former Masters champ, Fred Couples, stayed in the hunt until hitting one in the drink on No. 12, leading to a double-bogey. Couples finished alone in sixth at 9-under.
But, by far, the feel-good story of the tournament was Mickelson, who embraced his wife Amy, who's battling cancer, after winning his third Masters.
Leaf me alone
As it turns out, Mother Nature disrupted Phil Mickelson more than Tiger Woods.
On his way to winning a third green jacket, Mickelson had a leaf blow onto his line while attempting a birdie putt on the third hole. His ball hit the leaf and deflected left of the hole. Unbelievable.
Tiger's 'tude a work in progress
In a post-tournament interview, Tiger Woods made no apologies about his on-course demeanor at the Masters.
While he started the week smiling and acknowledging fans, he was caught swearing on live television on Saturday and Sunday, directly contradicting his promise to be more respectful of the game.
When asked about his emotions by CBS reporter Peter Kostis, Woods replied, "I think people are making way too much of a big deal of this thing," Woods said of critiques and analysis of his on course demeanor.
"I was not feeling good. I hit a big snipe off the first hole and I don't know how people can think I should be happy about that. I hit a wedge from 45 yards and basically bladed it over the green."
"These are not things I normally do," he added. "So I'm not going to be smiling and not going to be happy. And I hit one of the worst, low, kind of low quack hook on 5. So I hadn't hit a good shot yet. I'm not going to be walking around there with a lot of pep in my step because I hadn't hit a good shot yet."

His full name was Franklin Spray Eccles, but everyone knew him as "Coach."
Frank Eccles died Saturday at 73 and anyone who knew him, knew of his love for the Great American Pastime.
He won more than 800 games and coached Thornton to the 1974 Illinois High School Association final four -- back when it was still a one-class tourney. He spent 31-plus years in the classroom and in his classroom on the diamond. He was a pioneer in the sport in that he started coaching clinics. Coach your coaches to coach your players.
"He was way before his time," said Baltimore Orioles scout Bob Szymkowski, who was on the 1974 team. "He started those Illinois Coaches Association clinics and I think that really raised the level of play in high school baseball in Illinois. He organized and ran those.
"He made sure the wealth of knowledge was spread around -- to all programs around the state."
Eccles is in the Illinois Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and received the "Les Miller" Man of the Year Award in 1983 and 2003. He also received the President's Award in 1997. The National High School Baseball Coaches Association also recognized him for his more than 50 years of coaching.
It was his way of coaching and relating to the kids that made him and his program successful.
Doug Mathey was a junior pitcher on the 1974 Wildcats team and he remembers how Eccles didn't micro-manage.
"We came from the Harvey Little League and Riverdale Little League, so we had good coaching," said Mathey, who lives in Bakersfield, Calif. "He let us play and sat back. He knew he had a good team and he knew what our strengths were."
Mathey said he recalls playing West Aurora in the tournament and how Eccles got him fired up as he was to pitch against them.
"He told us, 'East Aurora's got all the talent and they said we don't have any pitching,'" Mathey said. "Well, we beat them and he said to me after the game, 'Doug, do you think we showed 'em that we have some pitching?' That was Coach."
Times Business Development Manager Roger Wexelberg spent most of his life in baseball and was president of the RailCats, said Eccles had a great influence on him. He remembers playing against T.F. South.
"I was in a slump and he had me come up and pinch-hit," Wexelberg said. "I hit a home run and that just made me feel good that he had that confidence in me. He was such a great guy the way he pushed you to be better in anything."

*This title will be released on March 27, 2012*
Title: Slide
Sexual Content:
Kissing, References to teen pregnancy
Okay – A few good points, but with significant flaws. Library/swap/borrow if you want.
Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth—her sister's friend Sophie didn't kill herself. She was murdered.
Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn't actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else's mind and experiences the world through that person's eyes. She's slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed "friend" when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie's slashed body.
Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe her? It sounds so crazy that she can't bring herself to tell her best friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in Rollins, he has been acting off lately, more distant, especially now that she's been spending more time with Zane.
Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.
SLIDE is a book that despite an intriguing premise and an appealing protagonist, unfortunately slid right out of my mind the moment I finished reading it.
The opening of SLIDE was rather awkward because the idea of Vee randomly 'sliding' into the minds of other people isn't established for several chapters. And when it does finally happen, no explanation is given for how or when it started or really what theories Vee has about it. Eventually, yes, we do learn when it started (and it's one of the stronger scenes in the book), but the delay really hurt my reading experience. What also hurt was how rushed everything was. The character growth, the romantic developments, the murder mysteries, and suspect motives. It's unfortunate because the bones of the plot and the premise for the supernatural twist had real potential (see below for a few other similar but stronger titles).
SLIDE should have been twice as long in order to appropriately deal with all the complex and weighty issues it attempted to tackle. Eating disorders, bullying, teen pregnancy, adultery, sexual assault, suicide, and two other BIG issues that I won't reveal because they would be spoilers. Hathaway writes well enough that it could have been great. Instead I suffered whiplash as all these serious issues were raised and then resolved (for the most part) in just a few paragraphs. The ending is especially grievous in that sense.
There is a sequel planned titled IMPOSTER that is scheduled for a March 2013 release. I can only hope that it's page length is worthy of the topics it covers.

Students lined up to join the new square dancing club, an organization that campus officials hoped would help to solve the social problem generated by the colleges relatively isolated position on the top of a hill.
Letters to the editor in the Manitou Messenger detailed 11hour summer work days in a canning factory and reminded first years to always wear their beanies,small brimless caps traditionally worn by university and college freshmen.
In more serious news, Dr. Albert Finholt, then an associate professor of chemistry, discovered a method for making sodium aluminum hydride while working in his St. Olaf laboratory over the summer. The chemical had potential to be used in many things, including pharmaceuticals, plastics, soaps, and detergents.
Finholt later served as dean of the college from 1964 to 1971. He and his wife now sponsor a Phi Beta Kappa scholarship each year for the top two students in the sophomore class.
St. Olafs asyetunnamed new chapel (you know it as Boe) received its crowning glory this week with the installation of its stained glass windows. The glass was handblown and imported from Europe; the craftsmen who worked on the glass created the various thicknesses and textures seen in the windows today.
In 1983
The St. Olaf mens soccer team kicked off a good year by beating Carleton 3 to 1 to win the MIAC Preview Tournament. The Lions Pause, then located in the basement of Ytterboe Hall, was renovated over the summer. The goal of the renovation was to encourage students to consider college a time of personal learning and growth, rather than just preparation for a career in the business world. For entertainment, students watched Lolita and Lord of the Flies. Interestingly enough, the Manitou Messenger reported that it had exceeded the past years budget by $1,700 due to the production of issues with more pages than had been anticipated.
In 1993
SAC vowed to make Homecoming Week the most memorable in recent years. With a Renaissance theme that borrowed heavily from the nearby Minnesota Renaissance Fair, campus denizens dressed in period garb and watched medieval scenes acted out by the Carleton/St. Olaf chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism. Students were also invited to play in a croquet tournament outside Mellby.
The crowning event of the week was a performance of Renaissanceera comedy and slapstick by Puke and Snot, professional entertainers from the Minnesota Renaissance Fair.
Dan Beach 94, St. Olafs current microcomputing consultant for IIT, was a student at St. Olaf in 1993. This week 10 years ago he took advantage of the increasing popularity of computers and instituted online personals. In addition, campus officials noted that the practice of electronic mailing, or e-mail, was becoming more common.

Definitely going to cook up the chard before it starts going brown. Also, will be cooking some meat on the grill, rain or shine!
CARROT EVERYTHING! Carrot burgers tonight, spicy carrot dip tomorrow, Roated carrots for lunch and carrot cake for dessert. I have 5 pounds of carrots that must be used right away!
About to make some homemade corn tortillas for grilled chicken soft tacos. It is 75 degrees - perfect taco weather!
@applebomb - I love carrots! Have you ever tried them caramelized with onions then pureed with cilantro and olive oil? One of my favorite side dishes!
i am trying to avoid baking as i need to lose a stone, so probably more of that great asparagus that has come in lately and maybe salad w chicken breast that's marinated in soy and o.j. baked in the oven.
* stone crab claws, potatoes and some other vegetable on the grill (yea for summer like weather!)
* vegetable risotto and roast chicken on Sunday when the temperature is going to drop (boo!)
@ Ta , Yes I have! I had that last night!
I just made the most amazing dinner - baked cod on a toasted garlic crouton and tomato and garlic - just followed this recipe posted on Epicurious http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Roasted-Cod-on-Large-Garlic-Croutons-242490
My honey's got a 300k bike ride tomorrow, so we're carbo loading tonight with veggie lasagna and garlic bread. Tomorrow I think I'll make wontons and fried rice. Maybe something on the BBQ Sunday?
flank steak with chimichuri, roasted potatoes and asparagus.
melissa clarke's blood orange cake and beef stew with mashed potatoes.
maybe a batch of granola for the week.
Pizza dough is made and baseball is on tap for the weekend. Pulled pork for Sunday.
I am cheese lover, so load it and enjoy!
With discovering a mill in my area, I found that using tasteless flower is no longer a fatality. Crêpes and kuglof are on the menu !
Last night, chipotle pork tacos and a southwestern slaw. Tonight, pork tenderloin sandwiches and potato wedges with a salad on the side.
Nothing earth shattering-baking some blueberry muffins and banana crumb muffins for the freezer. Prepping for next week's meals with some slow cooker barbecued beef and a pizza spaghetti casserole.
Visiting BIL is FedExing lobsters to another family member's home for a get together tonight. All I have to bring is a fruit crisp for dessert. :-D
Tomorrow, it's back to real life with slow-cooked chicken and veggie stew.
We're making two terrines this weekend for Momofuku's banh mi. One is chicken liver and the other uses fresh ham. It's proving to be quite the undertaking!
Applebomb, what recipe are you using for the spicy carrot dip you're making tomorrow? Sounds yummy and I'm always looking for new ways with carrots . . . Thanks!
Rhode Island Clam Chowder
I made a fresh batch of kefir and a cannellini bean salad with roasted peppers, olives and blue cheese, served on top of steamed broccoli.
Oh, and mango crisp. : )
Tonight is Thomas Keller's roast chicken along with truffled mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and a nice green salad.
Tomorrow is slow roasted pork with lime mojo, cuban black beans, rice and roasted butternut squash. Might try to do some home made tortillas with it if I'm feeling particularly ambitious.
I've got ham stock reducing on the stove right now to make split pea soup later. Also roasting some asparagus, but haven't decided whether I want it as a side or in the soup... hmm...
Craving sweet spring strawberries like nobody's business but I'm broke. Guess I'll have to wait till next week!
Spinach, artichoke, mushroom lasagna and another one with beef and Italian sausage.
Cobbler with pear, cherry and almonds.
Yesterday was Braised Chicken and Leeks with cream served with lentils and zucchini.
Today we're smoking a chicken and a rack of ribs to serve with mashed potatoes and probably some roasted radishes.
I just made the best sweet potato, lime/coconut soup with some fresh spinach- I can't find the specific recipe online. It's a copy from my mom. It's amazing. Tonight I'm making tofu fingers with some type of veggie side. I really want to bake homemade graham crackers but I have no limits when it comes to baked goods.
pork chops with rosemary and fried sage, rice pilaf, first spring asparagus, potato salad, and the orange cake from the Silver Spoon for Children cookbook (just put it in the oven) with strawberries. Last night was wild mushroom ravioli with vodka sauce and homemade meatballs.
how about a modified hopping john, black eyed peas, tomatoe, ground pork, kale and lots of spice
@ Lovesitc1, I loosely followed this recipe - http://www.food.com/recipe/moroccan-carrot-dip-112229
but I didn't add olives or honey, and instead put minces jalepenos and Sriracha sauce.
I also didn't follow the measurements on the recipe given, I just tasted as I was making it.
my sister was visiting, so there was more eating out than in, but we did manage to make brunch for our friends. my contribution was a challah bread pudding with chocolate, cherries and rum. If you like booze, carbs and chocolate, you can't go wrong!
Thanks @applebomb :) Sounds delish!

Day Care is Beyond Pricey
Minnesota has the most expensive day care in the nation. On average, single parent families with median incomes put 40% of their income toward day care. Two-parent families put 15% toward day care. And you wonder why we have no interest in day care.
The article blames part of the problem on government regulation. State law requires at least one teacher for every seven toddlers and one teacher for every four infants (the ratio is 1:10 for pre-schoolers, which are considered 31 months to kindergarten, a fact the article neglects to mention). Apparently they've never tried to supervise seven toddlers. We could certainly make child care cheaper, but it would also put quite a dent in the quality. Imagine what kind of care your kid gets in South Carolina or Georgia where one teacher can supervise 16 children.
It seems to me that if the state is going to have such high standards, which are good, they should also be willing to help out with the funding. Yet childcare assistance was cut 21% since 2003.
A 4-year-old in day care can cost an average of $763 a month, and it will cost more for a toddler (16-31 months) and much more for an infant (6 weeks to 16 months).
And this is why I'm going to be a stay at home dad.

Kenneth D. Bloch, MD
I established my laboratory in the MGH Cardiac Unit in 1990 and became a principal investigator in the CardiovascularResearchCenter in 1992. In 2007, I joined the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care, and Pain Medicine at MGH, while maintaining an active presence in the Cardiology Division, CardiovascularResearchCenter, and Department of Medicine. My laboratory has long-standing interests in the mechanisms regulating pulmonary vascular and ventricular remodeling and the role of BMP signaling in cardiovascular homeostasis. During the course of these studies, we have developed and characterized murine models of a broad spectrum of cardiopulmonary disorders including myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and acute lung injury.
In an exciting collaboration with Randall Peterson PhD and Paul B. Yu MD PhD, we identified the first known small molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling. Using these inhibitors, we elucidated critical roles for BMP signaling in a variety of important diseases including heterotopic ossification, anemia of inflammation, atherosclerosis, and vascular calcification. In October 2010, I was named the American Coordinator of a multicenter LeDucq Network grant entitled, "Multidisciplinary Program to Elucidate the Role of Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary and Systemic Vascular Diseases."
Since 2008, I have been fortunate to collaborate with Drs. Thomas Wang and Christopher Newton-Cheh in studies of the mechanisms by which genetic variants in the NPPA/NPPB gene locus modulate natriuretic peptide levels and contribute to the regulation of blood pressure. One of these genetic variants, rs5068 lies in the NPPA 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). My laboratory identified and functionally characterized a microRNA, miR-425, that targets the NPPA 3' UTR when it is encoded by the rs5068 major allele but not when it is encoded by the minor allele. Ongoing studies are directed towards understanding how microRNAs regulate natriuretic peptide biosynthesis and the pathophysiologic effects of modulating microRNA signaling.
Between 1990 and 2006, I served as the primary research mentor for the MGH cardiology fellows guiding them to, and supporting them in, the best research training opportunities HMS has to offer. Since 2002, I have served as principal investigator of the NIH-sponsored T32 training grant awarded to the CardiovascularResearchCenter. In this role, I supervise the mentoring and career development of 10 post-doctoral cardiovascular scientists each year.

U2 is giving away new single on iTunes today, BofA is donating $1 to Red for every download until midnight
Yesterday's Super Bowl wasn't just about watching one team completely demolish another team; it was also about advertising. But in the middle of that sea of lite beer ads and cacophonous movie trailers was buried a chance to get some free music and maybe help the world in the process. U2 announced it would be giving away its new single, "Invisible," via iTunes until 11:59 PM EST on February 3. That's today, so get to downloading.
To sweeten the deal for people who don't like U2, Bank of America will be donating US$1 for every download to U2 singer Bono's Product (Red) campaign, which funds the fight against AIDS. You've got a little under nine hours left to download the track. Head over to iTunes and go help out the cause. Even if you're not a fan of the band, you can help make the world a little bit better of a place. You can watch the Super Bowl spot below.

What is caber tossing? I didn't know myself until I attended the Kansas City Scottish Highland Games a few months ago. It requires a mix of strength and concentration.
Here's how it works. A caber is basically a trimmed tree truck that can weigh anywhere between 40 to 59 kilograms and is usually about 17 feet long. A competitor will lift the caber, holding it straight up, run with it, and then toss it.

World Cup Minnows Battle Odds, Schedule
Rugby's minnows are the revelation of this World Cup but many are hampered by tight scheduling which has left them facing two games in one week, while the sport's giants have twice as long to recover.
Highlights of the first week's clashes saw lesser powers such as Japan, Romania and Tonga trouble the leading teams, but their huge efforts to close the gap risk being undermined by the two-tier scheduling system.
Canada play France on Sunday, giving them just three days' break after Wednesday's sensational late win over Tonga - who had only four days to recuperate from Friday's brave, bone-crunching loss to the All Blacks.
Tonga coach Isitolo Maka brought in 11 new players for the Canada game, saying he needed "fresh legs" after Friday's opener against New Zealand.
"It makes me laugh really when tier-two countries have four-day turn-arounds and all the tier-one countries have seven-day turn-arounds and eight-day turn-arounds," said Canada coach Kieran Crowley.
"But hey, it is what it is. We knew what it was when the draw came out in the first place and we're trying to do some things around our preparation to mirror what's happening."
United States captain Todd Clever admitted "it hasn't been ideal" to play Ireland and Russia within five days, while Georgia coach Richie Dixon bemoaned a schedule which has his team playing Scotland and England in the same week.
"The draw has not been kind to us and some of the other teams but you have to live in the real world and just get on with it really," Dixon said.
Tournament spokesman Mike Jaspers said organisers were aware of the frustrations but they believed they had produced the "best balanced schedule to date for a rugby World Cup".
Only five teams have 14 rest days or less in the month-long pool stage, down from seven in 2007, he said. But Jasper added that TV audiences - dependent on heavyweight teams playing at weekends - were a major factor in the scheduling.
"This is a tournament with global interest, not just New Zealand. Factors considered were fan appeal, broadcast and commercial considerations as well as player welfare," he told AFP.
"So we think this is a fair and balanced schedule for all teams while also achieving the best result in terms of the wider interests of the game," Jaspers added.
"The broadcast revenues that are generated by scheduling around the top nations matches are reinvested by the IRB (International Rugby Board) to increase the competitiveness of the so-called smaller nations."
Tonga halfback Taniela Moa admitted the short break between games had been challenging for his team, which had just one training session together between the All Blacks and Canada defeats.
"We had 11 changes for this game but we only trained once so it was quite tough," he said.
But most players and coaches appear to accept the difficulties as a reality of a growing game, and are proudly determined not to blame scheduling for their performances.
"There's lots of teams that are in the same boat," said bearded Canadian flanker Adam Kleeberger, Man of the Match against Tonga.
"There's going to be quick turn-arounds, it's just that type of tournament and we're not going to use that as an excuse."

McGeady Keen To Deliver
New signing wants to repay faith shown in him by Roberto Martinez
Aiden McGeady is keen to deliver for a manager who has shown so much belief in him.
Roberto Martinez is a long-time admirer of the Irish international, who was signed by the Blues from Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee last week.
That eagerness to secure his signature has given the 27-year-old added impetus to deliver for the man at the Goodison helm.
He told evertonfc.com: "Roberto has been quite vocal that he has been after me for a while - before, when he was manager of Wigan as well. It is good to know that the manager likes me so much as a player. That was a big pull for me and the way he sets his team up should hopefully get the best out of me as well.
"I was close to going to Wigan but at the time I was injured and there were a couple of little things we couldn't get ironed out. But it is one of those things and it has worked out for the best I think.
"It is a big compliment, the fact he has been after me for a while. But the hard work for me starts now. I need to get myself fit and try to get myself in the team. Obviously, there is big competition for places so we will see what happens.
"This is something I've wanted for a long time - the chance to play in the Premier League. And obviously the chance to come to a massive club like this with a fantastic manager was just too good to turn down."
McGeady had the benefit of joining Everton's squad on their training break to Tenerife this week.
It has allowed him to hit the ground running as he seeks to get back to full fitness after a break from football during Russia's mid-season break.
He added: "The Tenerife trip is something I needed. The first day was difficult, getting back into it, but the days after that were great. All the manager's training sessions are based on football, which is refreshing for me.
"I've only trained for three or four days and not played since November. I got to know the boys while I was away this week and got some training and had my first touch of a ball. I'm not 100 per cent just yet, but if the manager thinks I can offer something then I will try to do everything I can."
McGeady is in contention for a place in the squad for Monday's trip to West Bromwich Albion.
His first taste of Goodison action is likely to come against Aston Villa on February 1. For ticket details, click here . To book hospitality for the fixture, click here .

The Big Elephant
The Big Elephant
by Deb Abbott
The Big Elephant awoke amidst a pouring Rain
Lightening striking, Thunder answering
Ripples of Energy washing over her
She mellowed into the Blend.
There was something about a Storm
That she truly loved, something akin
To her own heart, a soft fierceness
That guided her through her journey.
In the midst of Fury was revealed
The true steel of the heart
Either run and hide
Or walk boldly into the Wind.
And in her walking boldly did she find
The Courage that she had so often
Counted on to join her in in these times
An old friend she held close to her heart.
Courage accommpanied her then on this night
As they stood together to test the Wind
The Big Elephant knew that it was best
To hold her ground yet sway with the Wind.
And in her doing so, the Wind ceased interest
And went swiftly on its way.
She turned to Courage and gave a soft embrace
As they both felt renewed once again.
Then they both went skipping off together singing
We did it again, we did it again...
Hahahahha what a beautiful scenerio
The Listening and The Blend.
Love, Deb

ST. CHARLES, Minn. (KTTC) -- A St. Charles man is in custody Tuesday after authorities found more than $100,000 dollars worth of synthetic drugs at his home.
Winona County Sheriff's deputies along with the Southeast Minnesota Narcotics Gang and Task force seized what Sheriff Brand is calling the largest amount of bath salts ever in the county.
Bath salts are also known as plant food, and is a type of synthetic drug.
Deputies arrested 35-year-old Chad Loehr, who now faces multiple charges including fourth degree controlled substance after deputies found 2-pounds and 6-ounces of those bath salts, along with cash and fire arms at his home in St. Charles.
Officers performed a search warrant at Loehr's property on the 1400 block of Oakview Drive at about 8 a.m. Monday.
Not only did officials find the $100,000 dollars worth of drugs, but they also found a number of fire arms and siezed the vehicles from the property as evidence.
Subsequent to that search warrant, deputies from Olmsted County went to a business in Dover where they also recovered more fire arms and another significant amount of the synthetic drugs.
Loehr will face charges in both Winona and Olmsted County once the investigation is complete.

What our clients say:
What our clients say:
I know Peter for many years, and 3 month ago he helped me sell my condo 2 bedroom and 1,5 bath in the Valley. Transaction was fast and easy. It is a pleasure deal with him. Thank you for your help Broker LA Realty
Tony B.
I recently purchased a condo in Tarzana, CA and Peter from Broker LA Realty did an amazing job working with my sister and I. His knowledge about the real estate market, working in a timely fashion, accountability, and ability to get us exactly what we were looking for at the right price all worked out great. He did a great job in advising us professionally throughout the process and made us feel that we had a reliable source, since this was our first condo purchase. He really cared about what we wanted and always had time for me and my sister to answer any questions. He is also very dedicated and wants only the best for anyone looking to buy or sell property. We definitely recommend Peter to everybody who is looking to purchase or sell!
Ala S.
Since our first meeting, I could tell that peter had great passion for this project. Peter has sold my condo in a timely matter. He showed a great time managing skill. He is very reliable, organized, and works very efficiently.
Jay C.
Without hesitation I recommend Peter as a broker when my family and I decided that we wanted to purchase a home. Peter was very sensitive and attentive to our needs. He showed us the home that met our ideal criteria. He did not waste our time, he was detailed and knew our price point for what we could afford and in the neighborhood we wanted to be. Thank you Peter!
Robert K.
Peter's profile on Tulia quickly grabbed my attention. First thing I liked about his service was he answered the phone unlike my previous calls to other agents which usually was answered by voicemail, and stayed readily available throughout the entire experience. Peter showed great knowledge in shortsales. Our meeting went smooth. He listed my home and less than two months introduced a well qualified buyer. We were lucky finding him, it saved our credit and his expertise helped us avoid foreclosure.
Peyman is honest and easy to work with. He listens, works with your needs, and does not waste your time. He set the example of what every real estate agent should strive for- honesty, professionalism, reliability, and warmth.
Mohammd and Bita
I really enjoyed working with Peyman from Broker LA. He helped me in buying my home. He was always available to answer my questions. He is very patient and he knows a lot about real estate and mortgage.
Rabbi Avraham Neissany
Peyman helped us to sell our house in less than a month. He was very patient with our questions and concerns. He was always there for us, and I know I have drive him crazy by my demand. We are very satisfy with his service and have asked him to help us to find our next home. He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him.
Behnaz H.
Peyman from Broker LA helped me to buy my first home and I was extremely satisfied with his service. Peyman was very responsive and available when I had questions. The process was smooth and virtually painless. I would definitely recommend Broker LA to all my friends and family!

We bought this for my son's 12th birthday. This is a great sword for the price. The satin display box it was shipped in was flimsy. Overall, we were pleased. A lot of extras for the money.

The sword was a great piece to our home decor! We loved the design and the detail. The only issue is that if u handle the sword the fabric starts to undo itself on the handle...so we had to glue it back :( Its a great piece just be careful and use it strictly as decor to be admired and not handled too much!!

I purchased the samurai sword set as a gift to my taekwondo teacher. I was surprised at the attention to detail. The criss cross wrapped handles, the golden dragon on the scabboard and the solid carbon steel blades, and metallic details were beautiful. The item was well packaged and it arrived in perfect condition. For the price I definately got my moneys worth and my teacher was impressed. The only thing I thought was not of high quality was the wooden stand.

It's a pretty sword, for hanging on the wall or playing with. Not for real usage but that's not what I was looking for any way.

This is the ultimate samurai sword for the display collecter. Very long and heavy, the quality of craftsmanship is excellent. The ornate detail on the sword is very lavish. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great replica of a beautifully crafted object. Great quality for the price.

I ordered the product on a Friday evening a received the product on the following Wednesday. The product perfectly matched the online photos shown. I read one other review that mentioned the "color" was a darker color than displayed on the photos.....I found the swords to be of a brillant red orange color exactly matching the online photos....I am very satisfied with this product the quality exceeds the price paid by far!

This Samurai Sword, was shipped with reg. service around Christmas and was received quickly. The Sword was great my boyfriend loved it and took it in to his Martial Art instructor to look over and they both agreed it was very well crafted!! If he only knew I paid so little for it he would have fainted... lol ya, overstock.com

I liked everything about this sword except for the handle. The wood on the handle is too small for the machetes grip. When you hold it, it hard to get a good grip with the metal part of the handle protruding out past the wood attached to it. It makes it really unconfortable if your holding it for any length of time. For the price it's a good buy. I suggest making your own handle wood covering if you buy it.

If you have no plans of going to Battle (joke), this is the one to purchase. It has nice craftsmanship for displaying on wall or in stand. The sword has nice weight and balance. I have seen other swords for three times the money and not feel as good in the hand as this one. Nice product for the novice collector or martial arts fan in your life. Also know that the blade is sharp but I would not try to chop anything with it. Excellent Samurai swords have two types of metals forged together for strength. I'm sure this sword is massed produce but still a nice product.

I bought this for my husband for a gift and he wasn't impressed. I thought it looked nice, and it does, but compared to his other swords this one is considerably cheaper in overall quality. Another, you get what you you pay for experience.

love this sword. the case matches another set of swords I have...so that was a bonus. Very good quality!

This sword looks amazing and feels great! The only problem I have is that it isn't as sharp as I expected it to be, but I'm not really expecting to have to cut a lot with it, so that's okay. Other than that, it's perfect. Definitely worth it.

The locking mechanism was not engaging. I had to force it to lock. If you let go of one half of the baton it would open up and expose the blades.

Not a perfectly crafted tool, but for the price it is an excellent value. With a little work, this could be even better. Sheath is inexpensive. I would recommend getting a better leather sheath.

This is absolutely not hand made. Damascus steel only means " Damascus looking steel ". Not very happy with this product but not enough to return this product. It's pretty good as a well made toy for an adult. For a sword, it only deserve hanging on your wall.

Emperor Taizong
Emperor Taizong "Li Shimin", the second emperor of Tang Dynasty of China, started the history of "Reign of Zhenguan" which made the Chinese traditional agricultural society to the heyday.
♦ Introduction
Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, han nationality, was given birth in 599 at Wugong in Xianyang, Shaanxi.The word "Shimin" was named by his father as a shortened version of the words "saving the earth and pacifying the folks". He was not only a politicians, but also a military strategist, calligrapher and poet.
Li Shimin obviously revealed his ability early in his life.In 613, the official Gao Shilian, amazed by this guy, presented the boy a niece who was the later Empress Zhangsun as his wife, at that time, he was 14 and she was 12. In 615, a general appeal was made for men to join the army to help rescue the emperor because Emperor Wen's son and successor Emperor Yang was ambushed by Eastern Tujue forces at Yanmen in modern Xinzhou, Shanxi. Li Shimin responded to that appeal and worked within the general Yun Dingxing, obviously accomplishing this with distinction.
In 617, with the help of Li Shimin, his father LiYuan raised troops against Suih, defeated many opponents, and set up the Tang Dynasty as Suih was finished. After the Xuanwumen Coup, Li Shimin was set for crown prince, took the hand of the actual supreme power of Tang Dynasty . After Tang Gaozu Li Yuan abdicated, Li Shimin became the second emperor of Tang Dynasty .
After Emperor Taizong throned, he listened to his allofficial's opinion actively, studied governing the country associated with literature hard, and became one of historical most famous politicians and best emperors successfully. Emperor Taizong started the history of the "Reign of Zhenguan". Through active destroy all over the forces of independence, accepting opinions modestly, practising rigid economy in domestic, and making people relaxed, Emperor Taizong made a peaceful society appearing finally. And this laid an important foundation for the later flourishing Kaiyuan Reign Period and made the Chinese traditional agricultural society to the heyday.
♦ The major events of Emperor Taizong's life
► Xuanwumen Coup 玄武门之变
Li Shimin and his older brother Li Jiancheng, who had been set up crown prince in 618, reportedly after Emperor Gaozu primary provided the status to Li Shimin resulting from his contributions, had been locked in an consuming competition, since Li Shimin's successes made people to predict that he would probably displace Li Jiancheng being crown prince, and Li Jiancheng, though an experienced general himself, had been outweighed by his younger brother.
By 626, Li Shimin was afraid that Li Jiancheng would kill him, and his employees Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji had been consistently inspiring Li Shimin to assault Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji first-while Wei Zheng was inspiring Li Jiancheng to assault Li Shimin first. Li Jiancheng convinced Emperor Gaozu to eliminate Fang and Du, along with Li Shimin's dependable defense officers Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie, from Li Shimin's staff. Zhangsun, who else remained on Li Shimin's workers, carried on in an attempt to convince Li Shimin to assault first.
In summer that year, Eastern Tujue had been creating an additional assault, and with Li Jiancheng's advice, Emperor Gaozu, in place of submitting Li Shimin to fight Eastern Tujue as he primary was prone, chose to deliver Li Yuanji as a replacement. Li Yuanji was handed control of most of the military formerly within Li Shimin's command, more deeply bothering Li Shimin, who thought that with the army in Li Yuanji's possession, he would be unable to fight an assault. Li Shimin had Yuchi call Fang and Du head back to his house privately, and after that on one night put forward an accusation to Emperor Gaozu that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had been doing adultery with Emperor Gaozu's concubines. Emperor Gaozu, in reply, given summonses to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji for the next morning,calling the senior officials Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda to check Li Shimin's accusations. As Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji accessed the central gate leading to Emperor Gaozu's palace, Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin conducted the ambuscade he had arranged. He personally shot an arrow that slain Li Jiancheng. Later, Yuchi slain Li Yuanji. Li Shimin's army got into the palace and, within the threat of Li Shimin's power, Emperor Gaozu approved to set up Li Shimin crown prince. After Two months, due to Li Shimin completely in command of force, Emperor Gaozu yielded the throne to him (as Emperor Taizong).
♦ Reign of Zhenguan 贞观之治

► The reasons of "Reign of Zhenguan"
First, Tang Dynasty had replaced the Sui Dynasty. The war happened during this replacement which led to more than about 20 million population declining. At the end of the war, people became less and the land became more. This was the most important reason of the begining of Reign of Zhenguan.
Second, the start of the Grand Canal and the imperial civil service examination system in Sui Dynasty had laid a foundation for Reign of Zhenguan.
Third, drawing a lesson from the decline of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong was alert to the challenges which lay ahead, gave important positions to wise, capable and virtuous persons, and accepted others' good advice and ideas after ascending to the throne. Emperor Taizong's personal efforts was also an essential factor of "Reign of Zhenguan".

In selecting talents, Emperor Taizong was eager to find wise persons and good at the employing and capable people. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhang Sunwuji, Wei Zheng were the talented employees of him.
In agriculture, Emperor Taizong took more attention to this aspect. He reduced the farmer's taxes and labor, moderated his own desire and rang luxury from simple.
♦ Emperor Taizong's death
In 645 Emperor Taizong's army started to combat a bitter and failed fight with the Goguryeo. He also fell ill this same year, and reportedly hardly totally restored. In the next few years, Tang army brought a successful war with Xueyantuo and started organising a reconditioned assault with the Goguryeo. In 649 army had been set to get started on this new war, nevertheless Emperor Taizong passed away before he could run the assault. Three days after his death, it was officially publicized and Li Zhi became Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
► Emperor Taizong's main achievement in his life
Emperor Taizong's ability to employ and lead talented people was extremely high.He was not arbitrary. He preliminarily established three governmental agencies, made those three have separation of powers and supervise each other. The rule even was fit for himself. This ensured the feasibility, timely discovery and correction of the policy. To a certain extent, he helped eliminate the harm and influence to the state and the people due to the bad policy.
Emperor Taizong's national and his foreign policy made brilliant achievements. As he executed more liberal policy to Eastern Turkic and all the families and people attached to the turks, Emperor Taizong got people's acclaim, and was considered the "Tian Khan".
Emperor Taizong perfected the imperial examination system, set up new school, paid more attention to education activities and popularized the selection of government officials. At the time, the imperial examinations had been standard and fair. Tang Dynasty education and imperial examinations had provided excellent talents for political and had made an outstanding contribution to Tang poetry and economic development.
Emperor Taizong claimed to lighten taxes and labor and advised people to farm. He cut taxes and intensified water-contral project. He advocated honesty, thrift and simpleness. He did successfully in the construction of a clean government , so at that time, government officials were quite law-abiding, honest and self-discipline.

Senz Umbrellas are the victory from design over the weather. Finally umbrellas that do always search the best position in the wind by themselves, and find it, thanks to their special aerodynamic form. Even by the strongest wind speed, a Senz Mini umbrella will offer protection from floods from above.
Why did it take centuries until really weatherproof umbrellas were invented? This question was also asked by the Holland designer after he came home wholly wet: "we did fly to the moon, but why isn't there a proper umbrella on the planet?" and just like a passionate designer has to do, he searched a solution with friend designers that he knew from his studies by Bruno Ninhaber van Eyben. They created the world wide success that we also present in Germany now: the ultimate umbrella, smart, strong and stylish, with a special good view to the front and without dangerous sprays but therefore with unique eye-protectors.
Because of its dimensions, the Mini umbrella is perfectly storable in bags and cases. Its aerodynamic form that makes it play with the wind instead of fighting it, ensures the best view. The umbrella does only search the best position to resist the wind alone.
It is not by chance that Senz Umbrellas were nominated for the Dutch Design Award 2007 and the German Design Award 2008. They already received the red dot award 2007. The three designers Gerwin Hoogendoorn, Gerard Kool and Philip Hess continue working together as "Senz" – we are already curious about their exceptional problem-solutions.
