Rumors in recent weeks have suggested that Manny Ramirez has been working for one final shot at a chance for playing time in the Major Leagues and while that opportunity hasn't presented itself, he has been given a chance to rejoin a Major League organization. Ramirez reached an agreement to join the Chicago Cubs as a player/coach with the organization's Triple-A affiliate in Iowa.
The Cubs announced the agreement Sunday via a press release, with quotes from both GM Theo Epstein and Ramirez himself.
"We are excited to welcome Manny to the Cubs organization and look forward to him working with our young hitters," Epstein said. "Manny is not only one of the best hitters of all time, he is also a dedicated student of hitting and has proven to be a gifted teacher with younger teammates who have worked with him in the batting cage. Behind the scenes he has always been a tireless worker who is very serious about the craft of hitting. Manny has made real mistakes in the past, but he has owned up to them and moved his life in a positive direction the last couple of years. He is in a really great place right now and wants to share the lessons he's learned along the way. We think he deserves another chance and that our young hitters will benefit from it."
Epstein continued to note that Ramirez "is not and will not" be on the Cubs' Major League roster. The plan is to have him focus full time on the coaching role, while only playing part time as to not take away at bats from the younger players being developed. Ramirez will reportedly spend some time at the team's spring training facilities in Mesa, Arizona in order to get some at bats under his belt before joining Iowa. Epstein did, however, leave the door slightly open for a return to the Major Leagues if there ends up being some "magic left" in Ramirez' bat.
To Ramirez's credit, he sounds as though he's approaching this with the right mentality:
I'm at the stage of my life and career where I really want to give something back to the game that I love – the game that has meant to much to me and done so much for me and my family. I know I am near the end of my playing days, but I have a lot of knowledge to pass on to the next generation – both what to do and what not to do. The Cubs have some very talented young hitters and I would love nothing more than to make a positive impact on their careers. I am passionate about baseball and about hitting, and I have a lot to offer. While I would love to return to the Major Leagues, I leave that in God's hands. My focus will be on working with the young hitters, making sure they don't make the same mistakes that I made, and helping the team any way I can.
The events of his past are, of course, well known. Twice he was suspended by Major League Baseball for violating the league's performance enhancing drug policy late in his career, effectively ending his tenure as one of the game's most productive right-handed hitters earlier than it should have. Over a 19 year career the now 41 year old Ramirez batted .312/.411/.585 while mashing 555 home runs. The winner of nine Silver Slugger Awards, there's few doubts about this ability to hit. He was often aloof in the field and on the bases, but while those behaviors rubbed teammates and managers the wrong way it all eventually became a part of "Manny being Manny".
Ramirez last played in the Major Leagues during the 2011 season, when he appeared in five games for the Tampa Bay Rays. In 2012 he spent the first half of the season at Triple-A with the Oakland Athletics before receiving his release. Last season he began the year in Taiwan and would join the Texas Rangers Triple-A affiliate in early July, but would be released just a month later.
While Ramirez certainly has his flaws, he has been known for his work ethic behind the scenes. Epstein would know that well, having spent seven years with Ramirez while with the Boston Red Sox. Chicago's minor league system is loaded with potentially talented prospects – with Javier Baez and Arismendy Alcantara already at Triple-A and Kris Bryant, Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, and others working their way there.

I found my dream house
This house lays in Aude - a quiet place in the south of France, right between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean sea. The closest neighbour lives 1 kilometre away.
It has a meadow, a little and a big lawn, a flower- and vegetable garden, lots of fruit trees, a 500 meter coop, two stables, a stone fire place, and both a normal and roof terrace. There's a basin which is home to many fish, crayfish, frogs, ducks, herons, and aquatic plants. The domain is partly bordered by a little river named "Le Blau". The house was renovated completely in old style. It's for sale for 485.000,- euros.
Seriously - click the pictures to look them full view, it's so gorgeous. All the nature and quietness, and both mountains and the sea. I just fell in love with, and feel homesick for a place I've never been before. I've been day dreaming about a live there with David for over half an hour now. If only.

Rick Ross Off The Hook In Paternity Case
UPDATE: Ricky Rozay was looped into a paternity suit and offered to take a DNA test to prove he's not the father.
Rick Ross has filed a response to a Georgia woman who claims that he fathered her three-year-old son.
Thirty-six-year-old Tyrisha Childers originally filed a paternity suit in Broward County, stating that Ross was her baby's daddy and that he's refused to pay child support. Documents show that Childers is broke and only makes $694 a month from disability payments.
In a response filed by Rozay, he claims that he's never slept with Childers and is willing to take a DNA test to prove he's not the father.
[January 20]
UPDATE: According to TMZ, a court-ordered DNA test has determined that Rick Ross is not the father of Tyrisha Childers' son. Childers has voluntarily dismissed the case.

Donut Pirate launched on AppStore!April 30th, 2014
Donut Pirate is now available to download on iOS AppStore, for free! :)
Donut Pirate is my new take on endless catch & dodge game, designed for casual gamers like myself, I used to play large AAA games on consoles, since I got my iPhone, the way of gaming and my taste of game has changed quite a lot, the convenience of smartphone made me lazier, so lazy I can't even bother to insert disc into gaming console :P
so this is my first attempt to design a game for the lazies, a very simple game where player tilt the device to control Donut Pirate, catch as many yummy donuts as they can! Look out for bombs & fire falling from the sky. Tilt, swipe and tap to survive the dangerous world of falling donuts!
30 delicious donuts to unlock & collect…
Craving for some donuts now? feed your iPhone/iPad with Donut Pirate! :-)
p.s. Thanks to OLLA BOKU, Jason Liao & Caleb for making this game possible! ❤
For the Love of Donut!April 25th, 2014
Donut Pirate is a casual game I've been working on for over 2 months, with some helps from friends and family, it'll finally see the light in a few days!
It started with a simple donut catching idea involving my Donut Pirate character and a lot of donutsssss! and the first thing came to mind is OLLA BOKU's cute donut drawings, so instead of me doing donut designs from scratch(likely end up something similar to OLLA's), I thought it'd be fun to get her involve in the project, and I talked to OLLA about the game concept, she has been extremely supportive and easy to work with, contributed her large library of delicious donuts, allowed me to mess around with her designs to fit the game's art style!
OLLA BOKU not only draws donut, she also makes them….in wool! below are her handmade wool-plush donuts – LuLu & her partner, they are my favorite donuts from OLLA, which also appeared in the game! Thank you OLLA!
(peter rabbit loves OLLA's donut plush hehe..)
Donut Pirate game also sees contribution from Jason Liao, a fresh design graduate/game enthusiast/friend, he sketched some fire & explosion animation for the game, and they are something you probably don't want to see in the game LOL(hints gameplay). Oh BTW…the game voice over was done by my 4 years old nephew Caleb! hope I don't get sued over child labor… :P
thanks to everyone helped making this game, it'll be available on App Store from 29 April…..for FREE! ❤

ahappyhousewife said: Hi!! I can't wait to see what else you have to talk/blog about! I may not consider be in a slave/master relationship but I sure do feel like a slave haha!! Housewife with two spawnlings. Anyways great little blog you got :) -HH
Thanks so much! I know how you feel. Dealing with little ones can be rough on anyone! If there is anything you'd like to see just let me know!
If you are like me then you are guilty of falling back on simple traditional favorites when you run out of new ideas. Spaghetti is the tried and true of the pasta world. But lets face it, unless your dom/husband/boyfriend (or domme/wife/girlfriend) particularly loves it, aren't we a little to old for spaghetti. So here are a few new pasta ideas that are just as easy (and take just as little time) as spaghetti. Not a single one of these takes more than 30 minutes to make.
Bucatini with Shrimp and Spicy Cherry Tomato Pan Sauce
* 3/4 lb bucatini or other fat free spaghetti noodle (or regular spaghetti noodles)
* 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
* 2 clove garlic
* 2 pints cherry tomatoes (red or yellow or both)
* 3/4 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
* Generous pinch crushed red pepper
* 6 oz aged feta cheese
* Handful basil, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1) Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup cooking liquid for use in sauce.
2) Meanwhile in a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and juices begin to bubble (about 3 minutes). If tomatoes don't give out a lot of juice add 1 tbs water and a splash (about 1/2 tsp) red wine vinegar for acidity. Add shrimp and a large punch of crushed red pepper, toss until shrimp are cooked through (about 2 minutes).
3) Add pasta with reserved cooking liquid. Toss together over low heat. Remove from heat, stir in feta and basil. Toss with tongs adding up to 1 tbs more oil and additional feta to taste.
Orecchiette with Ricotta and Chard Pan Sauce:
* 1 large bunch swiss chard
* 3/4 lb dried orecchiette (or any other bite sized pasta)
* 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
* 2 tbs butter
* crushed red pepper
* 2 oz grated ricotta salata, asiago, or pecorino cheese
* 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
* Sea salt, cracked black pepper, nutmeg
1) Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate chard stems from leaves. Cut both into bite sized pieces. Add orcchiette to water. Set timer for 10 minutes.
2) Meanwhile in large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Add chard stems and cook 2-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
3) After 10 minutes add chard leaves to pasta, cook 2 more minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta and chard to pot, place over lowest heat setting. Add chard steams and any residual oil to pasta along with butter, crushed red pepper, and cooking liquid. Grate in ricotta salata (or other cheese); toss. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Separate into bowls and top with about 1 tbs ricotta.
Linguine with Sausage, Greens, and Egg Pan Sauce:
* 12 oz fresh or 8 oz dried linguine
* 4 uncooked Italian sausage links, skins removed
* 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
* 4 egg yolks
* 1/2 cup whole milk, half and half, or light cream
* 1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
* 2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
* 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper
* 2 cups coarsely chopped mustard greens or turnip tops
* handful fresh parsley leaves
* 1/4 cup shredded parmigiano-reggiano
1) Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cooking linguine according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Return to pot, cover to keep warm.
2) Meanwhile cut sausage into blunt edged small meatballs. In skillet over medium high heat cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes). In last minute of cooking add garlic. Set aside.
3) In medium bowl whisk together egg yolk, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Add to pot with pasta. Add sausage and greens. Toss together. Allow heat from pot to cook and thicken egg into silky sauce. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup reserved pasta water to loosen. Toss with parsley and remaining cheese

My biggest issue is just motivation and accountability for making sure I stay on top of things instead of letting them pile up for days.
I think we all have that problem. I would however like to direct you to a blog I think you might like. I love it, it helps me immensely.
^ This place is a great motivational tool.
golden-grave replied to your post: What do you want to see?
Recipes! Cleaning tricks.. My Dom is a hungry clean freak :)
Fantastic! I'm on it. Thanks for your input.
I realized that I don't spend nearly enough time on this blog.
So I'd like to hear some of your ideas.
What do you most want to see? What do you want to learn about?
Is it recipes? Cleaning tips and tricks? Serving guests? Anything else at all that falls into domestic activity?
Help me out guys.
Pour one cup vinegar (into a 2-cup measuring cup or bowl) then add one cup of hot water to that. Place measuring cup (or bowl) in the microwave, set your timer for approximately 10 minutes and turn it on.After 10ish minutes…CAREFULLY remove the cup with the hot liquid (use an oven mitt!) and wipe out the inside with a wet rag! Steam cleaned!

Organizing Your Food Storage with Special Guest: Misty of Your Own Home Store
January 30, 2014 in Food Storage, Simply Organized, Simply Prepared, Thrive Life, Uncategorized, Your Own Home Store by Andrea
I am so excited to introduce a guest at Project Simple Home today: Misty of Your Own Home Store! I know many of you are familiar with her blog and a few of you have participated in her 26-week series to build your own 72 hour kit. If you haven't yet, you can get the entire program on her E-Book: "Your Own 72 Hour Kit" which I HIGHLY recommend. I also guest post on her blog with a "Skill of the Month" series. Misty and I are great friends, but she is also my personal mentor at Thrive Life (though I look up to her in many other respects as well). In fact, both of us are currently playing in Mexico on the Thrive Life Fantasy Getaway, so please forgive us if it takes a day or two to reply to any comments.
Take it away Misty!
Hello! I am so excited to be featured here at Project Simple Home today! Andrea and I are dear friends. I love her positive attitude. I admire her organizational skills and her drive. It is an honor to be featured here on her site. Today I wanted to share just a bit with you about how I organize my food storage. First, I'll walk you through how I plan what to store. Then, I'll show you how I actually store it. Last, I'll talk just a bit about how I rotate through what I've got.
Planning What Food to Store:
There are a few mistakes people make when storing extra food in their homes:
- They store food based on calories alone. Most adults eat around 1500-2000 calories / day. Many I know store enough calories per day, but that doesn't mean the food they store is well-rounded or that they will be able to make actual meals with it. You simply won't be able to do much with just wheat, rice, milk, flour and sugar, even if you have 2000 / calories per day worth of it!
- They store foods they don't regularly eat. I was soooooo guilty of this when I first started storing food a few years ago. I wanted inexpensive foods with a long shelf life. So, I stored wheat, powdered milk, powdered eggs and oats. I had no idea how to use those things, so we never ate what I stored! It just sat on our shelf. Some of it still is.
A few years ago, I decided that I would plan what I stored differently and I recommend all my readers do the same. It is really profound. Are you ready?
Choose what to store based on what you eat!
That's it. Simple. Not really profound. If you eat oats, store oats. If you eat broccoli, store broccoli. If you love Spaghetti, store the ingredients for it.
When you plan what to store, I recommend you create a list of 15 dinners, 7 lunches and 7 breakfasts that your family will eat. Make sure they are meals you can make with 100% shelf stable ingredients (remember, you can get and use most fruits and veggies in freeze dried form…Andrea can help you with that). Then purchase enough ingredients for 2 of each dinner and 4-5 of each lunch and breakfast. That will give you a 1 month supply of food for your family. Do it again and again until you have a 3, 6, or 12 month supply of food (or whatever your goal is).
Storing my food:
Since I am lucky enough to be a THRIVE Life consultant, I use their incredible food rotations systems to store my food. These fantastic first in-first out systems simplify so much for me! I'm always able to make sure I'm using my oldest food first without having to sort through a bunch of cans on a shelf to check expiration dates I keep the bulk of our storage in a cold storage room in our basement. I know I'm SUPER lucky to have this.
If you don't have such a room, don't fret! If you are buying your food like I taught above and using your food like I will mention below, then go ahead and store it in your garage etc. You will use it WAY before it reaches it's shelf life! Remember, most shelf lives are based on about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. For every 10 degrees above that, you cut your shelf life in half. So, even at 90 degrees, foods that claim a 25 year shelf life will last at least six or seven years. That is plenty of time for you to use it as long as you are storing meals and not calories!
In addition to the food in my storage room, I also keep an open can of each freeze dried product in my kitchen pantry. I love having fruits, vegetables and meats at my fingertips:
Using My Food Storage:
Since my food tastes good (THRIVE really is incredible, just ask Andrea), and I'm storing meals, not just calories, it is very simple for me to use and rotate through my food storage.
Each week, I simply plan to eat two "shelf stable" breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I have a 1 year supply of most food. So, it would take me about 3 1/2 years to rotate through my full supply at two meals / week.
But not only does this allow me to rotate through my storage, it makes meal planning simpler, last minute meals do-able and cuts down on our grocery bill! In fact, I would say that while I typically only cook two 100% shelf stable meals each week, there is very rarely a meal in which I don't use some sort of "food storage" item. My freeze dried veggies and meats especially are items that make my life simpler.
I keep three lists in our storage room downstairs and I update them each time I remove something from the food storage room:
- Items I need to re-stock from the grocery store. I do this weekly.
- Items I need to re-stock from Costco. I do this quarterly
- Items I need to re-stock from THRIVE. I do this monthly through my THRIVE Q as well as placing an additional "purchase" using free product benefits I get as a THRIVE Life consultant.
These lists are just on a plain white piece of paper. When I take one shopping with me, I just replace it with a new blank piece of paper.
I actually have one additional list. While we have a 1 year supply of most items for our meals, there are a few things we are missing. I have a list of these items and I use free product benefits at THRIVE to get the freeze dried items and the money we are saving from using THRIVE to get the other things that THRIVE doesn't carry.
So there you have it! I hope you've found this helpful and that it inspires you to start or re-vamp your food storage system. Storing a bit of extra food (aka "prepping) is a good idea, no matter what. Perhaps you are worried about huge disasters or economic collapse. However, it is also great for mini emergencies like forgetting to thaw out the meat or having a poor nights sleep that results in little energy to wash and chop veggies!
Thanks Misty!
I agree with her thoughts on how to build your home pantry and food storage. It make much more sense to build off of recipes you already know and love, rather than calories. The dishes will be familiar (aka "comforting") during trials, and you will have a much simpler time rotating them properly. I also appreciate her opening up her pantry to us, and reassuring us (okay, me) that storing some extra food in the garage is fine as long as you rotate it properly.
I want to hear from you!
- How are you building your food storage/pantry?
- Where do you store everything? Are you lucky enough to have a cold storage room with Food Rotation Systems (and yes, they do ROCK!) or do you use the garage, under the beds, etc.
- What is one dish you and your family couldn't do without, even during an emergency? Do you have a shelf stable recipe, and would you like to share it?

Moon Viewing Platformcomments (0) June 1st, 2010 in Project Gallery
We started this project on our modern looking house to give it a more Japanese appearance and to provide shade from the mid-day sun. The roof structure is all Douglas Fir with Japanese joinery and exposed rafters. The ends of the rafters and beams are painted white, with the remaining roof work stained a dark shale color to give it the appearance of aged wood. The deck is made with IPE, biscuit joined to the PT joists.

Boehner, McConnell under the gun on Obamacare funding
08/27/13 at 1:00pm by Deirdre Shesgreen | Comments
WASHINGTON—Conservatives are ramping up pressure on House Speaker John Boehner and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell in a high-stakes push to defund Obamacare, which could lead to a government shutdown. Tea party activists and other conservative groups are pressing Boehner, R-West Chester, and McConnell, R-Ky., to use a stop-gap spending bill, which Congress will take […]
Cordray in middle of "nuclear option" battle
07/11/13 at 5:22pm by Deirdre Shesgreen | Comments
Richard Cordray, Ohio's former attorney general, is at the center of a bitter feud over the so-called "nuclear option"—a change to the Senate's filibuster rules that Democratic leaders are considering amid their frustration over GOP stalling tactics. Republicans have blocked an up-or-down vote on Cordray's nomination to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since 2011, […]

Sen. Rand Paul may be the Senate's tea party standard-bearer, but he's not the most conservative member of Congress's upper chamber. According to new rankings by the non-partisan National Journal magazine, the Kentucky firebrand is the 6th most conservative lawmaker in the Senate. Paul came in behind lesser-known Republicans, such as James Risch, of Idaho, […]
GOP: Obama's Brent Spence visit is "pure politics"

Republican leaders were slamming President Obama's planned visit to the Brent Spence Bridge today hours before he was to arrive at the outdated bridge that connects the Kentucky and Ohio sides of the Ohio River. Ohio Republican Party chairman Kevin DeWine, in a phone interview with the Enquirer, said Obama is using the 58-year-old bridge "as […]

Tea Party activists are assembling in Washington, but it turns out that they did not invite the Republican leaders to speak at their rally.

Morning Glory
Tom was a morning person. As in getting up at five or four am, when the sun was rising, then taking a quick shower, eating breakfast, doing his homework and going for a run. This was his routine during weeks. Weekends he just skipped the homework part. This time he had a brilliant idea. Usually a loner, having now a friend (at least he hoped so) he decided to pull Lewis into this. The boy looked like he needed a bit of a good old fashioned work out.
He planned on making this a regular thing. Lewis should be thankful.
He jogged to the other boy's house, waving his goodbye to his care takers, beforehand.
The air was still mostly stinking with the pollution but it was much cleaner that during the day. It was 6 am and before he got to Lewis's apartment it was 7 am. He knocked at the doors waiting for them to open.

Playing in a division with the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles isn't fun. You could conceivably win 80+ games and yet still find yourself constantly finishing the season in last place, something the Toronto Blue Jays are well aware of.
That's not to say the Jays haven't attempted to put forth an effort to win. They have. Money has been spent – talent his been brought in. But it just hasn't been enough, especially in the pitching department. Knowing this, the team has reportedly opened up their ears on potential Jose Bautista trades, with one National League general manager saying he 'wouldn't be surprised' if Jose Bautista was available in a trade:
The Jays are desperate for at least two starting pitchers and dealing Bautista may land them one. "It's a name we're hearing through backchannels right now, but wouldn't be surprised if he's available" said an NL general manager.
With a mildly expensive contract ($14 million in each of 2014, 2015 and a $14 million team option in 2016) and decline slowly creeping up, it's questionable as to how much of a return the Blue Jays could snag in such a trade scenario, but there's certainly no harm in listening.

Raymell Maurice Rice (born January 22, 1987 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American football running back for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Ravens in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Rutgers. He is currently ranked as the Baltimore Ravens third all-time rusher in yards (2844), and attempts (623). He is ranked fifth all-time for touchdowns (11).
Rice has had to deal with tragedy and adversity from a young age. When Rice was only a year old, his father was killed in a drive-by shooting. Ray's uncle helped to raise him before dying in a car accident in 1998 due to a drunk driver. Ray's mother Janet raised her four children with only one income from her job as a special education teacher.
Rice was the primary running back at New Rochelle High School, playing alongside future Rutgers teammates Courtney Greene and Glen Lee. His sophomore and junior seasons saw him take the primary duties, but he became the feature back in his senior year.

How Obama Will Control Doctors
Electronic health records (EHRs) are the foundation of Obamacare. The 2009 HITECH Act (part of the Recovery Act, or ARRA) mandated government-certified interoperable EHRs and provided up to $36.5 billion to subsidize the cost of initial computerization. Already $24.8 million has been spent.

Data Dangers: Americans' Electronic Medical Records at Risk for Hacking
ST. PAUL, Minn.— Last week, Community Health Systems, which operates 206 hospitals in 28 states, announced hackers had broken into its computer system and stolen data on 4.5 million patients. That data included names, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, birthdays and telephone numbers, paving the way for criminals to open bank accounts and credit cards in the patients' names.
10-Year Government Plan Will Share Private Patient Data
ST. PAUL, Minn.—Earlier this summer, government health IT coordinators announced the formation of a 10-year electronic health records (EHR) interoperability plan that will allow even more government agencies access to Americans' private medical data—all in the name of better patient care.

WARNING: Eight EHR Hazards
There's triple trouble with electronic health records: patient safety, medical privacy, and data security. And there are at least eight hazards. But much taxpayer money has been thrown at the highly speculative, untested EHR for political and profit purposes.

Kobe Bryant has already moved out of his MASSIVE Newport Coast mansion ... permanently -- because TMZ has learned Vanessa gets the estate in the couple's divorce.
Kobe purchased the sprawling Orange County property back in 2001.
As part of the divorce settlement, Kobe agreed to give up the property. TMZ broke the story, the couple had NO prenup ... which means Vanessa is entitled to half of EVERY DOLLAR Kobe made since they were married ten years ago.
It's unclear where Kobe is living at the moment.
So sad, wish them both well
What did this woman contribute to the marriage to merit 50% of his assets? just being married to a man who used his talent to get rich has absolutely nothing to do with her.
I hope one day a judge is going to buck the trend and rule that a spouse has to contribute to the enhancement of the assets or participate in building the assets to deserve part of it and the year of marriage should count, such as 2% per year of marriage.
I told you these Athletes get married to all kinds of women, then get a divorce and have to pay all to them.. Thats why married is a sham now and its better to be single, date and just called yourself partners.
that is going to be a rich little lady.
Can anyone stay happily married in this wicked nation? The majoriity of people who get married are really not built to last a marriage. They lack the committment, forgiveness, trustworthiness, respect for marriage, spirituallity, and do not possess a mindset of NO DIVORCE even through adultry ( which I must admitt is a hard thing to do). Yes you shouldnt get married if you know your still full of crap and dont know how to be forgiving and committed to the marriage. But I guess its a reflection of how most of us lack committment and dedication to our families, jobs, sports teams,our country, our friends,our values, and paying our bills. I hope I can improve my inner me so I can be better built for a long death do we part marriage with my future wife when ever I meet her. To Kobe, I guess you felt you trusted the marriage to last enough not to need a pre nupt, not a good move under the cir****tances of you being wealthy and a celebrity. I do feel a woman/man should get a reasonable ammount of money based on ammount of committment,reasonable child care, not based on a lavish life style she or he did not have prior to the marriage but somewhere like 10 to 15% of what these crazy astronomical divorce settlements bring ex spouses. Theres no way in Gods green earth or a devils hell is his wife worth the money shes getting. Men definately need to get political and put tremendous pressure on politicians, judges, and whoever else that have come up with these crazy child support settlements and divorce settlements, men should call their senators,congressmen, both state and federal and complain in an organized way like the Tea Party or protest like occupy wall street did , to your state and county legislators, go on tv, use your power, money,wisdom, speech to voice your outrage collectively to get this kinda lopsided financial settlement after a divorce thing brought under control and back to a fair and equitable ammount. All these guys, Deon Sander, Michael Jordan, Kobe, etc,etc etc, your getting screwed and so is Joe Six pack when he gets divorced , wise up men get with lawyers who will fight your cause and start a sustained movement , then you will get a fair shake on this subject. Of course I am for a man and woman taking care of there kids, and being a parent in a their childrens lives and giving and showing love to the kids, dont get it twisted, but hey the marriage is over a person shouldnt have to pay someone they married especially after they already were a millionaire and famous without them so much dang money. DONT take it any more Joe Blow or Joe Superstar celebrity guy. Divorce is tragic and im for fidelity in marriage all the way so dont get that twisted either
kobes a ******* dummy.....what tha **** is he doing marrying wivout a prwe nupin L.A of all places land of smoking mirrors n illusion...she played u u ******* moron....now u ave to live like a broke ass..while she blows yur cash wiv otha black guys.......lol....wat a dooche
Kobe has a larger home now than he had with Vanessa, but I'm not telling you the address.
Kobe's home is a mansion , whereas Vanessa's home is not a mansion because of the square footage and all of the homes in her neigborhood are considered tract homes. Kobe's new home is huge and he bought it a long time ago. Kobe is definitely not hurting. If anything I admire him for not making it a huge fight where his kids have to suffer. He's the only one I ever see at the grocery. I don't admire any adultery, but I admire that support he gave her and allowing her to stay where she is living. Her house is plenty nice, even if his costs over twice as much. Use your brains, folks. Kobe will never be poor and he may have made a pre-nup or a post-nup to get her to stay with him and what she got, might very well be in one of those agreements. Pre-nup does not mean you get nothing. It decides WHAT you get.
If men want to be players why get married a woman might overlook one indiscretion but multiple I think not and being exposed to sexual transmitted diseases.
no prenup? that's gotta be p@in in the @r$e...
well, kobe, all the best..
It seems odd to me that they made it to the 10 year mark then you can't take it no more. I was married...when you tired you tired. I didnt care if it was three years. cheating is cheating and if she was so tired of him cheating with ALL these women she should have been threw in the towel. I think vanessa's ex step dad was right "she is a gold digger" but i blame the men ...all of them who is getting caught up in this same game. Men with money and fame should be mindful of the women they choose. Just because it looks good don't mean its good for you. Kobe, you put your family down for this trick , now look!!
Signed-Mad Black Woman
Men should be very careful about who they marry. It's probably a good idea that if you are a athlete, movie star, etc. you always sign a prenupe. The prenupe should state that if you did not earn it you leave it upon divorce. Regardless of the reason why someone gets a divorce I don't believe in taking something from someone that somebody else earned. It sickens me the when I see a man or women hookup with someone, divorce, and then soon after they get half of what that person have. Now-a-days people have an opportunity to choose whether to go to work while they are married or sit on your tush. If you had that opportunity to advance yourself in a marriage and did not then that's your fault. The excuse I hear often is that the lifestyle of the lesser earner of income should not really change once you get a divorce. I couldn't disagree more. If you choose to be with someone for who they are which happens to include their wealth or potential wealth, then that's your choice, but just like you decided to choose that person for who and what they have to offer, you should also leave that person and what they have to offer intact, because "what a person have don't belong to you once you decide to leave", especially if you did not contribute towards the marriage. You are not a child who was made to stay at home, and layup on someone else as if you helped earn what assets are available. Even if that person cheats, what they earn don't belong to you if you decide to leave. Accept the fact that you made a bad decision, wasted your time, the person does not want you anymore, or you are not their only love interest, and be wise enough to prepare yourself. I would not want what belong to someone else anyway.
whatever..it is not her fault that he is nasty as hell...lol..next marriage he betta keep it in his zipper...Go Vanessa!
What does she do besides spend money? It has been reported the Bryant's have nannies. Why the F!@#$ does a woman who doesn't have a job need someone to watch her kids in the middle of the day? I vote GOLD-DIGGER!
i am reading a lot of non sense comments.... the bottom line is if Kobe is cheating, it will come out and she will divorce hm. What she gets is what a judge willdecide, IF she is a gold digger she married the OWNER of a gold mine. The rest will be whatever. Its nobody's business. Quite frankly MANY people would take 1/2 if there wasnt a pre -nup

Domino's Solution for Soundless Electric Scooters Is Rather Brilliant [VIDEO]
You say traffic hazard, Domino's says "branding opportunity." Domino's in the Netherlands appears to be experimenting with a scooter that emits the utterances of a man saying "Domino's!" and "pizza!" in between revving noises. It's a solution of sorts to the problem of soundless electric vehicles, which provide no aural warning to pedestrians or other drivers and are a special hazard to the sight-impaired.

Global National reporter Francis Silvaggio got up close and personal with a devastating mudslide in Johnsons Landing, British Columbia.
Sponsored links:
Silvaggio's camera crew also captured a narrow escape by a couple on another boat, just moments before trees came crashing down onto the water. July 13, 2012. A mudslide is the most rapid (up to 80 km/h, or 50 mph) and fluid type of downhill mass wasting. It is a rapid movement of a large mass of mud formed from loose soil and water. Heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or high levels of ground water flowing through cracked bedrock may trigger such a movement. Wiki

In a column on tomorrow's (Thursday's) Opinion page, David Broder refers to a recent report that American businesses are holding back cash at an unusually high level, apparently as a hedge against further economic downturns.
In the meantime, the Federal Reserve has adopted new rules to protect credit card customers from huge penalty fees for such infractions as late payments.
Given what the country has gone through, to some extent because it was too easy to get financing for big-ticket items like houses, should the Fed maybe be encouraging consumers to do what businesses are doing? Or, would it make sense to make consumer borrowing harder rather than easier?
Oh, yeah, economic recovery depends on consumers spending — even if it's beyond their means.
What are your thoughts on that or any other issue?

Sorry for the lack of recent updates, but for the first time in a long time, I've been busy, and it has been so refreshing! God has opened doors for me to do ministry targeting the 18-25 year old crowd, and it is an enormous blessing to be a part of a church that has a heart for young adults. We're meeting around coffee, meals, and scripture, and if you're in the Dallas area we'd love for you to come join us. But if not, I hope you'll enjoy reading about it here!
Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of the Jewish celebration of Yom Kippur also known as the Day of Atonement. For most Jews the next 25 hours will be spent in prayer and fasting as they observe this holy day. For the Jewish people, this is the day when the priest enters the holy place, sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice across the lid on the Ark of the Covenant, and ask for the forgiveness of the people's sins for the year. And for Christians, this day represents a portion of the Bible (Leviticus 16) we often breeze through with little to no regard concerning its spiritual implications. But in my opinion, the Day of Atonement represents one of the most vivid picture of justification found in the Bible… that is, if you understand a little about Jewish history and the Old Testament.
As I said before, the Day of Atonement is when the animal sacrifice was poured out on the Ark of the Covenant. Now all throughout the Old Testament the Ark was representative of the presence of God (hence why the priest could only approach it once a year). Inside the Ark were three important items in the life and history of the Jewish people: the Ten Commandments, a jar of manna, and Aaron's budding rod. These items represented two things. First, they represented God's provision for his people. God provided his people with a moral law, with food in the wilderness, and with a priest to lead them. Sadly, these items also represented the people's rejection of God's provision. The Israelites had sinned against God, by breaking God's law, grumbling against God's provision, and ultimately rejecting God's chosen man. The Ark represented both God's presence and the people's sins. Now, Exodus 25 tells us that the Ark of the Covenant was covered with a lid known as the mercy seat (literally translated "propitiatory covering" or "place of propitiation") and over this lid was perched two golden cherubim with outstretched wings and heads pointed down, looking into the Ark. While contemporary culture has portrayed cherubim as cute winged babies wearing diapers, they are far from that in the Bible. In Scripture, cherubim are angels of fire and of judgment, which is what makes the imagery of the Ark so cool!
You see, the cherubim are looking down into the Ark judging all they see, and what is inside the Ark? The sins of Israel. But on the Day of Atonement, the priest enters the holy place and sprinkles the blood of the sacrifice on top of the mercy seat, which is the lid of the Ark. Now instead of seeing the sins of the people, the angels see the blood of the sacrifice, which covers the sins of the people!
In the same way Romans 3 teaches us that Christ has become our mercy seat or place of propitiation. When God looks upon a believer in Jesus Christ, rather than seeing the sinfulness of that person, he sees his son whom he put forth as a propitiation on our behalf. How cool is that!? The sacrifice of Christ covers all who place faith in him.
The Day of Atonement was a foreshadowing of the day when all sins would be justified by the grace of God at the Cross of Christ, once and for all. For the Christian, the Day of Atonement is not once a year, but once in a lifetime. As the hymn writer said, "how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed."
One of my favorite words found in Scripture is "therefore." Circle it, underline it, highlight it, pay attention to it, because it means things are about to get easy. Want to know what the point of a passage is? Find this word and you've found your point. So far in Hebrews, our author has shown us the superiority of the Son's revelation over that of the prophets, and the superiority of his position over that of the angels… but what's the point?
Therefore! The response to understanding the superiority of the Son should be to pay closer attention to the revelation of Jesus Christ that we have heard. Remember what our author's main point is from my earlier post Hebrews Overview. "To encourage Christians to remain strong in their faith rather than return to Judaism." Therefore! In light of all you know, don't neglect your salvation.
Now one of the most helpful things I found in this passage for me personally was when I noticed how much our author talks about communication. Specifically, our author talks a lot about the need to pay attention to what we have "heard." The word for "I hear" in Greek is the word ακουω (akoúo̱). Specifically in this passage, the author uses it to command his readers to pay attention to what they have heard concerning Christ so that they might not drift away from their faith. However, he also uses this word in another form, παρακοη (parakoee) which is commonly translated "disobedience." The formation of this word actually comes from two different Greek words. The first is παρα (para) which is a preposition meaning "from, by, beside, alongside of." This is the word where we derive our English word parallel. The second, of course, is our word ακουω, which you already know means "I hear." So when we combine these two words we can come up with a really rough translation of "hearing alongside of" or "hearing beside." What a cool image! When you are disobedient it means that rather than hearing and heeding, you just let it pass right by your ear. You're hearing alongside of the truth. It brings a whole new meaning to when the author says, "Therefore, we must pay close attention to what we have heard!"
But one huge questions remains… In light of all of these things, how could these believers really trust that Jesus is the messiah? Because it has been communicated to them over and over again. The Lord declared it, others have attested to it, and God has bore witness to it. Creation and the creator all testify of the superiority of Jesus Christ. One of the things I love about this passage is that it shows the intensity with which God pursues his creation. God hasn't just made his Son known through one avenue… but when God pursues his creation, calling them back to himself, it is irresistible. Whether the goodness of your life points you to Christ, or the misery of your life points you to Christ, when God pursues his creation, they know. Will you hear?
Whenever I sit down to study a passage from the Bible I always try to ask three things: What does it say? What does it mean? What do I do now? Sometimes I encounter passages that make it a little more difficult to answer those questions, and this passage is definitely one of them. Figuring out what a passage says is as easy as reading it, but determining what it means and what I should do with that truth can be difficult.
As I read this morning I was struck with a strange realization. Sometimes the key to figuring out a passage of Scripture is not just to look at what it says, but also at what it doesn't say. In a book all about the superiority of Jesus Christ, the author has yet to say his name! In fact, in the first two chapters of Hebrews the name Jesus only appears one time. Now later in the book of Hebrews the name Jesus appears frequently, but why not here? It has been shown how Jesus provides a superior revelation than that of the prophets, and now our author is showing how Jesus is superior to the angels, but he still never calls him Jesus! Further, our author uses seven quotes from the Old Testament to show that Jesus is superior to angels, but I was having a really difficult time figuring out what any of these passages had in common. Have I mentioned that he still hasn't called him Jesus? Why not? Because our author isn't trying to show the superiority of Jesus over the angels, he is trying to show the superiority of the Son over the angels. What's the difference? Jesus is a person… the Son is a position. Everyone I know, recognizes me as Bobby, but to two people out there I am "son," and because of that, I am more significant to them than anyone else. Jesus is not simply superior because of his person, but also because of his position. Angels worship him, and enemies kneel before him… His creation grows old, but he remains the same… His earth will perish but his kingdom is eternal. Angels are good… Jesus is better.
Hebrews 1:1-4 is one of my favorite introductory passages in the entire Bible, because the author just gets after it. The writer starts out talking about the way things use to be. For the Jews, the way God had communicated up till this point was through the teaching and the writing of the prophets. BUT (transition words are important! Don't miss them) now God has spoken through his son Jesus. This is a different way of doing things, and our author is about to tell us why. God did not simply make Jesus a spokesperson like the prophets; rather, he made Jesus an heir of all things. In the end, everything goes to Jesus. Why? Because everything came from him in the beginning. Not only is Jesus an heir of all things, he is the one through which God created all things. This is another example of the superiority of the revelation that comes through Jesus Christ. Genesis 1 teaches us that God created all things by simply speaking them into existence. God spoke words and through those words all of creation came into existence, but that isn't the full story. In John 1:1 we find out that Jesus is the "Word" of God who has been present from the beginning, and now in Hebrews 1 we find out that Jesus is the one by which God created all things. God speaks, and Jesus does. Jesus is the active and creating agent of God. But it's not simply that Jesus created it all, and that it all rightfully belongs to him… everything that exists is upheld by him and the power of his word.
Now it's no secret that I love words and there are two really cool ones that appear in this passage. The first is the word χαρακτὴρ (characteer) which is so cool because it is where we get the English word "character." This word is typically translated reproduction or representation. The second is the word ὑποστάσεως (hypostaseows) which comes from the same word we use when talking about the hypostatic union (this is just a cool way of saying that Jesus is both completely human and completely God at the same time). The way this word is typically translated here is to talk about his "essence" or "reality." So when the author says that Jesus is the "exact imprint of his nature" (ESV) what he is trying to communicate is that Jesus is the full representation of the reality of who God is. Jesus isn't just a spokesperson pointing to God like the prophets; Jesus is God pointing to himself!
It's this reality about Jesus that enables him to be the one to make purification for sins. Jesus is superior to the prophets because he is not simply telling the people how to get rid of sin, but rather he is the one taking the people's sins upon himself.
But our author doesn't stop there. Having shown Jesus' superiority over the prophets, he now moves to show Jesus' superiority over God's other messengers…. angels. Hebrews 1:1-4 sets the tone for the entire book. The old ways are good… Jesus is better.
Let me set up this first day look at the book of Hebrews by saying that I've actually already been looking at it for about a week. If you are going to study a book of the Bible you may want to preview it first. The way I preview a book is by reading it all the way through as fast as I can. I'm not trying to go deep… I just want to get a look at the entire thing so that I can figure out what its about. Focus on the stuff that keeps coming up. What keeps coming up in the book of Hebrews? Jesus is better than everything! Jesus is better than prophets, angels, Moses, the law, the old covenant, the high priest… Jesus is better than everything. When you read fast, the only thing you pick up is the stuff that keeps coming up… give it a try.
Ok, so after getting a big picture of the book I usually like to get some background information just to give me a better idea of what is going on. Who wrote it? When did they write it? Who was the intended audience? You get the picture… For this kind of stuff I usually end up checking out the notes in one of my Study Bibles, commentaries, or one of my new favorite books "The Complete Idiot's Guide To The Bible" (Seriously if you want a book that gives a really brief overview and background to each book of the Bible this one is great!) Ok so here is what we know and don't know about the book of Hebrews.
Author: No one knows! (it's not Paul, I don't care what anyone says)
Date: Somewhere between 60-70AD (the temple is destroyed in 70AD and the book was most certainly written while it was still standing)
Primary Audience: Christian Jews
Purpose: To encourage Christians to remain strong in their faith rather than returning to Judaism. How? By showing that Jesus is better than everything!!
So thats just about all you need to get started. Give it a try. Take a really fast glance over the book… write down a few major themes or repeated ideas… do a little homework… and we'll be ready to tackle a really cool book of the Bible.
The current focus of my devotional time is Hebrews, so it's likely that these writings will focus on what the Lord is teaching me during this time. One of the questions I'm asked the most after I teach is "How did you figure that out?" I'm always encouraged that students are not simply interested in answers, but the process of getting to those answers. Because I know that a lot of students (former/current/future) will be reading, my hope is that these writings will give a bit of insight into what it looks like for a real human to spend real time in the Word and look for real answers. I'm not saying this is the only way to have a devotional, but it's what works for me, so if you're stuck in a rut, or if you're looking for a good place to start, I hope this will be helpful.
First things first, I spend about an hour reading, writing, and praying, and I usually do this in the morning. I've found that if I don't get into the Word early, I wont get into it at all, so I do my devotionals in the morning. I typically try to spend 20 minutes reading (the Bible that is), 20 minutes writing down what I found, and 20 minutes praying over the text and anything else that is pressing on my life. (These ideas aren't mine, I stole them from The Village Church who probably got them from someone else) I also study whole books of the Bible. I think there is so much more to be gained by understanding the whole of what a book is trying to teach us rather than simply jumping around from verse to verse. While I wish I could say I do this to seek the "full council of Scripture," honestly I just do it like this because it gives me a finish line and encourages me to keep picking up my Bible each morning. So what I do is divide a book up by section (usually something I use a commentary to help me with… check out Thom Constable's commentaries online at www.soniclight.org they offer great insight into the Bible and they're free!) Each day I take another paragraph out of that section and I read and study it over and over, seeing how each verse relates to the others, what the author is trying to say at that point, and how that paragraph fits into the other paragraphs in that section, how that section fits into the whole of the book, and how that book fits into the whole of the Bible.
While an hour may seem like an intimidating amount of time, when you have that much to do it goes by really fast.
Now if you can't handle all of that at once, don't worry about it! If you're picking up the Bible for the first time, start slow. You don't need to cross reference, spend time in original languages, or write your own commentaries. Just read it, write down what is says (says, not what you think it means, just what it says!), and pray asking God what He wants you to do about it. Now when I say start slow, I don't mean start fast! Can God reveal his divine will for your life in five minutes every morning? Absolutely! But I doubt He will. Take your time, start slow, let's take a look at the book of Hebrews together.
When I was in middle school I was absolutely obsessed with basketball. Now anyone who really knows me, knows that that this is laughable because I am horrible at the game. Nevertheless, every lunch period of seventh and eighth grade I found myself outside lined up ready to pick teams. Now anyone who has experienced this moment knows just how intimidating it can be, because naturally no one wants to be picked last. But honestly, I didn't really care. I've always had a fairly realistic understanding of my abilities when it came to sports, and I didn't really care where I got picked as long as I got to play. Pick me first, pick me last, it really doesn't matter… that is, as long as we win! Strangely enough, for someone with as little athletic ability as I have, I can't stand losing. There is absolutely nothing worse than starting a game on a team you know doesn't stand a chance! Knowing that no matter how hard you fight, how hard you try, how fast you run, you've been chosen to suffer for the next hour. Miserable.
What if Christianity was like that? Would you still want to play?
I love the book of Philippians for many reasons. First, because it is so encouraging and uplifting to believers, but second, because it is so ridiculous! Paul writes his most encouraging, most uplifting, most excited book of the Bible while he is in jail! But Paul doesn't sugar coat this letter to the believers of his first church. Keep running, keeping fighting, keep striving toward the goal, and even if you end up where I am, keep rejoicing.
I love Paul's words in 1:29. "For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake" (ESV) Now the word that appears here for "granted" is the word εχαρισθη which I would typically translate "graciously given" (χαρις meaning "grace"). Paul writes that believers have been graciously given two things from God. The first Paul says, is the ability to believe or place faith in Christ. The second Paul says, is the responsibility of suffering. What's the common thread? They are both acts of divine grace. Believers have been graciously chosen by God not only to believe, but also to suffer. This is counter intuitive. We love the idea of being picked to win, to triumph, to succeed… but not to suffer. What does Paul say? It is by grace that you have been saved, and it is by grace that you will also suffer for the sake of the one who called you. What should the Christian response be? It's simple. Paul says it over and over again in the book of Philippians. Rejoice. Rejoice in salvation, and rejoice in suffering. Why? Because they are evidence of God's grace in your life.
So I'm here to play. I don't care if my team is chosen to go through life without a scratch or without a point… because in the end, all I need to rejoice is to know that he picked me.
The Greek language fascinates me. I'm always amazed at how much each word of the Bible stands out to me in Greek that I wouldn't normally see when I look at it in English. So often we breeze through a passage without taking time to meditate upon and examine every word, and we miss a lot. This past summer I spent time the book of Ephesians, and I was particularly interested in a word that appeared in 4:27. In this passage Paul is writing about how Christians should live in right relationship to one another, and issues a specific warning against allowing anger to provoke believers to sin. Paul's imperative command to believers is to be angry and yet remain without sin. But Paul does not stop there. Rather, he commands believers to not even allow their anger to give an "opportunity" or "foothold" to the devil. Now as I was reading this passage I stumbled upon the word τοπον here, which I was always taught has the basic definition, "place" or "location." Naturally when we substitute those words into verse 27 they don't fit quite as well as "opportunity"… or do they? Paul is trying to warn his readers of something much more dangerous than immediate sin. Paul is warning believers against making a place in their lives for Satan to sit and wait. While anger is not immediate sin, its continuation and prolonging can breed bitterness, envy, and sometimes even hatred. Paul isn't simply concerned with the immediate sinful reactions that can come from anger, but rather he is concerned with protecting believers from a devil who wants to take up permanent residency in their hearts, which is far more dangerous. I'm getting better these days at hiding my anger (except in traffic) but reading Paul's words makes me wonder if I'm simply getting better at housing an enemy who is waiting to destroy me. If so, then I've been missing the point. The goal isn't to prolong sin, but to overcome the one whose desire is to destroy us with it. Paul's point is clear… be angry and do not sin… now or later.

It's Good To Be King Lyrics - Tom Petty
Review The Song (1)
It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king
Yeah I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays

Snooze to open Sept. 6 at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, support local community partners
By Karen Billing
Snooze, the new breakfast eatery coming to Del Mar Highlands Town Center, has announced community partnerships with San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation and Helen Woodward Animal Center.
As with all of the Snooze restaurants (five in Colorado and one in Hillcrest), 1 percent of total sales go toward local community organizations.
"Our opening partners at Del Mar are three awesome organizations that totally kick butt for good things," said the restaurant's general manager John Paul Daniel.
He said the Conservancy was selected as it supports a "vital area for the coast."
"Many people have volunteered and made a difference in making this land safe again for birds, fish and hey, let's face it, humans," Daniel said.
Daniel said Snooze admired Helen Woodward's no-kill facility that helps so many types of animals and people, and he praised the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation for raising money for needed school programs in art, music, PE, science and technology.
"These people work really hard to make a better community and we couldn't be happier to be partnered with them," Daniel said of the foundation.
The restaurant is set to open on Sept. 6. For more information, visit snoozeeatery.com/Delmar-san-diego.

Do home mortgages prove to be risky
Mortgages are required for diverse purposes and banks are willing to provide loans on mortgage. The loan taken out on a mortgage is normally for multiple purposes. It is a effortless procedure and but men and women do not comprehend it totally. Most people don't look in the terms and circumstances of the mortgage. Most people need enable with mortgage calculations. A lot of people are capable of mortgage calculations on their own with a tiny assistance. There are actually numerous types of mortgage calculators in use at present. Lately, a simple mortgage calculator is made use of most regularly.
