Melaugh scores nine goals, Merrimack beats Assumption to share NE-10 crown
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. -- No. 7 Merrimack clinched a share of its first Northeast-10 Conference regular-season title on Saturday as the Warriors defeated Assumption 16-11 on Senior Day at at Martone-Mejail Field. Merrimack will share the title with Adelphi.
"It was a nice win [Saturday] and obviously a great achievement for our team winning the Northeast-10 Conference regular-season title," Merrimack head coach Mike Morgan said. "It's such a great league and to come out on top is never easy. The team has worked hard since the fall and it's certainly something they deserve. For the seniors on Senior Day it is great for them now to have achieved a tournament championship as well as a regular-season championship."
The star of the day for the Warriors was senior Greg Melaugh, who tied a school-record with nine goals in only three quarters of action. Melaugh also added two assists to give him 11 points on the afternoon, third-most in a game in school history.
The Merrimack win coupled with a Saint Michael's loss secured Merrimack the No. 2 seed for the upcoming NE-10 Championships and a first-round bye into the semifinals. Merrimack 11-2 (10-1 NE-10) will play host to the winner of No. 3 Le Moyne and No. 6 Saint Anselm.
Jamie Shand continued his strong play down the stretch with a season-best five assists and one goal for the Warriors. Mike Perdie finished off his Senior Day with three goals. Patrick Coskren finished off his best faceoff day of his career going 22-for-28 while also scooping up a career-best 21 ground balls.
Merrimack jumped out quick on the Greyhounds on Saturday as they scored the first 10 goals of the game including six in a row by Melaugh from the 7:15 mark of the first quarter until 14:52 remaining in the second, the quickest six goals scored by one player in school history.
Perdie also racked up two goals while Shand added one during the 10-0 run to open the game. During the final 7:20 of the opening half, the Greyhounds outscored the Warriors 3-2 as Ryan Hunt scored his first goal of the season after a nice feed from Trevor Gallagher. The second Warrior goal was arguably the best goal of the season as Perdie scored a behind-the-back goal in the top-left corner of the net to give Merrimack the 12-3 halftime lead.
The Greyhounds came out strong in the third as they scored three consecutive goals on backup goalie Morgan Green. Melaugh put an end to the run with his eighth goal of the game after a pretty feed from Tim Towler and then Paul Jones made the score 14-6 a little more than a minute later.
Garrett Smith and Melaugh traded goals in the final 1:30 of the third quarter to make the score 15-7. Corey Lunney picked up his 14th assist of the season on Melaugh's record-tying goal.
Merrimack was outscored 4-1 in the final 15 minutes of action but the Warriors still held on for the 16-11 victory. James Caruso scored his first career goal, marking the final goal of the game for Merrimack after a nice pass from DJ Brown.
For the game, Merrimack held the advantage in almost every category as they outshot the Greyhounds 39-29 while also holding the 50-38 advantage in ground balls. As a team, Merrimack finished the game going 23-for-31 on faceoffs while also going 3-for-9 on their man-up chances.
Defensively, Merrimack was led by Brandon Waiter once again as he finished with a team-high three caused turnovers and three ground balls while Brad Duhaime finished with four ground balls and two forced turnovers on his Senior Day. Connor Reagan continued his steady play for the Warriors between the pipes, allowing only three goals during 30 minutes of action.

By Alexis Martin NeelyFeatured Author
When I first started my law practice back in 2003, I expected to pay the bills for my new business by bringing in clients.
I didn't have any money in savings, and my husband was a stay-at-home dad without an income, so it was seriously do-or-die time for me and my family.
I had been making $165,000 per year as an associate at the big law firm, and we were spending all of it, so I needed to at least replace that in profits from my firm.Everyone told me that I needed to plan not to be profitable for at least a couple of years, but I believed I'd be the exception to this rule.
I did hedge my bets a bit by finding office space I could use without paying rent by trading my time with an attorney who had an empty office space in his suite. This worked out well for me because that office space also came with all of the big equipment I'd need to get started, like phones, a copier, and a furnished conference room.
All I needed was a laptop, my own phone line, a website, a desk, and some chairs. I was able to pay for all of that out of the little bit I had in savings and on my credit card.
Now, it was time to start bringing in some revenue.Fortunately, I quickly discovered that as a business owner, I'd be keeping a whole lot more of what I brought in as a business owner than I was as an employee due to the favorable tax treatment for business owners who know how to use the tax code in the right way. (If you need a little brushing up on this, check out the book Lower Your Taxes – Big Time! by Sandy Botkin, CPA, Esq., the best resource I've come across on the subject.)
Pretty quickly, I realized I'd need to bring in at least one person to help me because it just wasn't possible for me to do everything I needed to do to attract clients, engage them, service their matter, and build a relationship with them without help.
At the time though, I didn't feel as if I had enough revenue to bring on an employee I'd have to be responsible for paying each month.
But when I really looked at the numbers and how much more money I could bring in if I could focus my energy on revenue-generating activities only, I decided I couldn't afford not to bring someone in. I'd just have to make the commitment to myself to bring in one additional new client per month to pay for my part-time employee and determined that with the extra time I'd have, I could do that.
At the time, I didn't know that as a small business owner I'd actually have access to financing that would help me grow my business.
And a part of me actually felt like I should be able to do it all on my own without any help. You know how a two-year-old blindly yells, "I DO IT, I DO IT!" and doesn't want any help even though any adult looking on can clearly see that the two-year-old would benefit from a little assistance? Well, that was me. Business-wise, I was a two-year-old, blindly insisting I didn't need any help.
But then I got to a point where I was stagnating. I wanted to grow bigger. I wanted to move out of that office space I was sharing with those other lawyers and into my own space. I had a very clear idea of how I wanted my office to look and the kind of image I wanted to create, none of which was possible in the high-rise office space I was sharing.
I wanted a team of staff members standing by at the ready to support me and my clients, instead of just the surly receptionist who growled "law offices" when she answered the phones. I didn't want my clients to have to navigate a confusing parking garage. I wanted beautiful letterhead and envelopes and a better website.
All of that would take money, money I didn't have and wasn't going to save up seeing one or two clients per month, which was all I was able to bring in on my own without investing in some really good marketing, which of course I didn't have the money for.
Right around this time, I happened to meet a local banker in my community who was opening up a new community business bank.This was a fortuitous meeting because, up until then, I thought a bank was merely a place to deposit checks, and had no idea that a relationship with a banker could be helpful to me in my business. The banks had always been a necessary evil up until then and certainly not anywhere I would think to turn for help.
But this banker wanted to know about my business. He wanted to know what my vision was for its growth and how he could help me. I excitedly shared with him the amazing vision I had for the law firm I wanted to grow.
He could see the vision and wanted to help me make it a reality, so he let me in on how I could find all the money I'd need to build my business.
Here's what he told me to do:
I'll be honest with you, all of this was difficult to do. It was difficult from a paperwork perspective, but it was also difficult emotionally.The entire time I was going through the process of applying for the line of credit through the SBA, I was full of feelings of embarrassment and shame. I can't tell you why: I can only tell you I felt it, and, as I've talked with other business owners, they've expressed that they've felt the same during the process. So, don't be surprised if you do. And, more importantly, don't let those feelings hold you back from getting the money you need to finance the growth of your business and grow big. It's totally worth it!
During this process, it can be helpful to have guidelines to consider when making projections about income and expenses. I created a comprehensive business plan for my law firm that you can have to review. To get access to it, go to http://www.LawBusinessRevolution.com and join the revolution. I'll send you the business plan as well as a whole lot of other free practice-building gifts that I created for my law firm that will give you a much bigger vision of what's possible for your business.

How to Ensure Team Building Success in 4 Steps
Each year, company owners and organizations invest a lot of money on team building programs. This type of activity is designed to improve camaraderie and the sense of team work within that organization. However, not all team building activities are able to accomplish their goals. While some companies see the benefits of holding such activities, there are also a few others that report little changes or result from it. Hence, it is not guaranteed that you can get results from the activity until you take pro-active steps to ensure that your program is geared towards accomplishing those goals.
Would you like to know how to plan a successful team building activity? Here are some tips to consider when planning successful team building programs:
Step 1: Determine what your team needs.
Most companies go into team building activities without a clear idea of what they want to accomplish. Is there a particular area in your team's chemistry or working relationship you want to focus on improving? What are your short-term and long-term goals for doing this activity? A thorough analysis of these goals will enable you to design activities that will help you accomplish these goals.
Step 2: Recognize and encourage performance improvement.
Team building exercises are often designed to be fun and light. However, it should also provide members of the team a sense of reward for their hard work and their improvement at work. Focus on developing activities that let them know their value is recognized, as well as their efforts and contribution to the team.
Step 3: Provide insights to team performance in relation to team building activities.
This is where proper planning on step 1 can come into play. It is important that you leverage those activities planned for the team building to provide insight into work performance. You have to let every member of the team come into an understanding of what they need to do in order to settle disputes at the workplace or improve performance in their respective departments. It does not have to be a lecture-type approach; proper planning will enable participants to get these insights in a dynamic manner.
Step 4: Follow through with the performance.
Your efforts at getting results from your team building activity do not end once you conclude the activity. Once the team building "buzz" has faded, every member of the team goes to their usual routine and environment. Make sure you continue to reinforce the spirit and energy that you had during the team building event. Remind them of the rewards waiting for them, as well as recognize any improvement they are showing.
Team building activities are helpful to improving your team's overall performance. However, it is just one of many other efforts you can do to increase productivity, efficiency and team work. Do not neglect these other aspects, too.
If you want to ensure successful team building programs for your company, visit Hidden Door at https://www.hiddendoor.com.au/shop/team-building-and-rewards.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) – Eder Herrera lost his mother and brother to a gruesome stabbing and spent three months in jail as the prime suspect.
Even after his best friend from high school confessed to the crimes and four other killings in Southern California — before committing suicide in jail — authorities say Herrera is still under suspicion in the deaths of his family members.
Now, Herrera, 26, is trying to clear his name, filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against police for wrongful imprisonment and fighting deportation proceedings to Mexico, a country he hardly knows, that were spawned by his arrest.
"I'm trying to get over this situation, but they keep pulling me back," Herrera said.
Herrera will make his case Friday in Orange County Superior Court for authorities to return his belongings, including a laptop computer his mother gave him and family videos that police seized. In federal court, he is asking for access to police evidence and unspecified monetary damages.
Prosecutors say while Herrera isn't charged, he may have been involved in the murders in some capacity and police are still investigating. An attorney representing the police would not comment on the wrongful arrest allegations or the evidence.
"There was significant circumstantial evidence that led us to believe he was involved initially, and that evidence still exists," said Brea police Chief Jack Conklin, who also declined to discuss the nature of the evidence his investigators have.
Authorities say Herrera's best friend, Itzcoatl Ocampo, decided to kill him and his family after the two had a falling out. Soon after Ocampo arrived at Herrera's house in Yorba Linda in October 2011, he saw Herrera leave. Ocampo then killed Raquel Estrada, 53, and Juan Carlos Herrera, 34, police said.
Herrera, who had been driving around stoned and stopped to eat at a restaurant with a friend the night of the murders, was locked up, while Ocampo went on a killing spree that terrorized the county's homeless before he was caught, said John Burton, Herrera's lawyer.
"Whenever you fixate on the wrong guy you let the real guy off the hook, and here that led to the murders of four people that never should have happened," Burton said.
Burton said Herrera could have led authorities to Ocampo sooner if they had played a 911 call reporting noises coming from the family's home, as when he later heard it, Herrera recognized the voice as Ocampo's.
In January 2012, Ocampo was arrested in the slayings of four homeless men. Once in jail, Ocampo confessed to killing Herrera's mother and brother in a murder plot that he said also targeted Herrera, and police found DNA on Ocampo's boots linking him to the Yorba Linda stabbings, authorities said.
Ocampo died late last year at age 25 after he ate industrial cleaner in his jail cell.
While Herrera was freed three weeks after Ocampo's arrest, the district attorney said Herrera's behavior the night of the murders was suspicious, noting he saw police outside the home and drove by without checking on his family. A witness said someone he believed to be Herrera dragged something back into the home.
Since Herrera's release, police say they have new evidence related to the murders, but declined to disclose it.
Prosecutors say they have not returned personal items to other victims' families in the case because authorities are still investigating Ocampo's suicide.
Authorities have no problem returning Herrera's belongings if they serve no evidentiary value, said Susan Price, senior deputy district attorney for Orange County.
Since his arrest, Herrera has also been fighting deportation and is due in immigration court later this year. His mother fled financial troubles in Mexico and when Herrera was 7 years old she brought her boys to Southern California, where she worked cleaning houses and making floral decorations.
Herrera joined his older brother as a street sweeper after high school, but he still dreams of becoming a racecar driver.
Herrera said the reluctance of police to clear his name has added to his troubles. He is seen by authorities as both a victim, and suspect, of the same crime.
He mourns the loss of his mother and brother, whose ashes are in urns at his uncles' house in Riverside, and fears federal immigration officials will reject his application for a work permit because he still lives under a shadow of suspicion.
"My mind is clean and my heart is clean," he said. "I am more concerned with the loss of my family and having to deal with that."

This is an incredibly long post, so please click 'read more…' below to see the rest of the looks from this amazingly well dressed event.
I was starting to lose hope that I would ever see this amazing Marchesa Fall 2009 dress on the red carpet.
Olivia Wilde has fulfilled my wish by looking drop-dead gorgeous wearing the strapless nude suede dress.
I love those embroidered floral details, the complementary taupe clutch and her nude Brian Atwood 'Maniac' pumps.
I don't know much about Amber Heard, but I'm really impressed with her on the red carpet and shocked that she always manages to wear such big name designers.
Last night she looked sensational wearing this red Christian Dior Spring 2010 belted gown with a chiffon bodice and a satin skirt.
Since Charlize Theron has been M.I.A. on the red carpet in a while, I guess John Galliano might have been looking for an interim muse.
It's not often we see 3 great Dior Spring 2010 looks in the space of 2 days.
Miss Dior herself – Marion Cotillard wore Dior to the Critic's Choice Awards on Friday, then Chloe Sevigny wore Dior to the NY Times Style Magazine's Pre-Golden Globe Awards Party on Saturday.
It's always a pleasure to see Camilla Belle on the red carpet.
The actress wore a grey Valentino Spring 2010 dress with a satin bow detail on the hip.
I love the way the cape and skirt fan out. It would've been amazing to watch this dress in motion.
I'm not sure about those stunning heels with the dress, but the heels are divine on their own.
On Friday I was worried that after Apphia Michael wore Viktor & Rolf to the Wallpaper Design Awards, that we would only get to see these pieces from this Spring 2010 collection inside magazines.
Anna Paquin delights us by wearing a strapless pink tulle dress with exaggerated hips.
She also blows my theory that only one of each look was ever made for this collection, as hers is pink to the runway's grey and blue.
An Alexander McQueen knuckle duster clutch, Boucheron diamond studs, a Tom Binns necklace and black gladiator heels complete her look. Read More…

Excerpt from The Inspirations for Small Kitchen Big Taste:
You may play with patterns on the kitchen backsplash, but don't overdo it on the other side of the kitchen. Well, it may distract from the main design. In addition, you can experiment with the floors and change it into a more modern appearance. For example, you can use a marble floor to give a sophisticated look for your kitchen. Nevertheless, it all depends on your taste. Whether you want it to be rustic, modern, or industrial, make sure that everything you need looks fit in the small kitchen big taste of yours.c="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js">

I'm currently employed as an engine programmer in the videogame industry. I completed my Masters in Computer Science at the University of California, Riverside where I worked in the Riverside Graphics Lab. My research area was the area of physics-driven character animation, with a focus on optimization-based control architectures. To facilitate my research work I developed a physics simulator built around the Featherstone forward dynamics algorithm with support for both iterative and pivotal MLCP/LCP constraint solvers and soft-constraints. I am experienced in physical simulation, data-driven character animation, numerical methods, and control algorithms.

Pop superstar Justin Bieber has welcomed another animal into his life, nine months after abandoning his pet monkey.
The Baby hitmaker stopped by a pet store in Stratford, Canada on Thursday (26Dec13) and decided to treat himself to a belated Christmas present by spending $600 on a seven-week-old Bulldog named Petey, according to TMZ.com.
The news is unlikely to go down well with animal rights campaigners - Bieber came under fire in March (13) after Mally, his capuchin monkey, was seized by German authorities because the 19 year old did not have the required documentation for the animal to enter the country.
Bieber never claimed the primate and Mally was eventually transferred to a local zoo.
The singer also previously owned a hamster, but offloaded the animal to a fan. The rodent subsequently died.

What have been your personal cartooning/comics highlights of 2012?
After many years of both being on the back burner and more or less in development hell, getting the ball rolling on my "Darkest Night" series through the release of "Act One".
Who are some of the comics creators that you've discovered and enjoyed for the first time in 2012?
That's a tough one, my shelves and boxes are literally overflowing with comics that I've picked up and really enjoyed this year! I'd say the biggest one was finally getting my hands on Mike Mignola's complete (to date) run of Hellboy TPB's. Delving into that world, watching the many layers peel back as Hellboy's character arc unfolded all the while in the midst of subverting story expectations was really a complete joy.
What is something non-comics that you have enjoyed in 2012?
The beach, I most definitely enjoyed going to the beach earlier in the year! (The holiday and break at the time was well overdue.) That and finally getting a chance to really dig into HP Lovecraft's work; "At The Mountains of Madness" specifically was really an eye opener for me in terms of its scope, awe and naturally horror.
Have you implemented any significant changes to your working methods this year?
Visually I've stepped up the size of my original sequential pages from A4 to A3, the follow on effect being the introduction of heavier attention to the backgrounds/set locations, detailed shadows and various digital effects to "finish" the page. As a sideline to the heavier digital focus, I've also stepped out of my comfort zone a bit by experimenting with Indian Ink as a painting medium.
On the writing side, I've been lucky enough to give it a lot more focus this year through a couple of collaborative projects with Paul Abstruse and Ryan Wilton. Traditionally I've drawn from either my own outlines or other writer's scripts; so a core process that the needed to be re-defined this year was finding a different way to bring the smaller detail, movement beats and dialogue stages of the story that were being fleshed out either during or after the final art all the way back to the scripting stage.
What are you looking forward to in 2013?
Rounding out the first arc of "Darkest Night" with the upcoming release of "Act Two" and hopefully later in the year, "Act Three". Also those aforementioned two collaborative projects will either be hitting shelves or getting very close to it, "Enormis" with Paul Abstruse and "A Gun For All Seasons" with Ryan Wilton!
That's all assuming the world doesn't end...

2015/2016 CHOICE-BASED STUDIOS & THE ARTWORK OF GAYLEEN AIKEN: Intuit Center for Intuitive and Outsider Artists Teacher Fellowship Proposal
Ms. Zelle and I began this project as professional exploration of creating more choice-based opportunities for student learning and as a way for students to make art with limited adult guidance/influence/interference—aiming to provide an artistic environment similar self-taught artists' freedom to create…
We feel so fortunate to have been awarded an Intuit Fellowship for the 2015/2016 school year because it was a great way to collaborate with passionate educators around the District, learn about new educational theory, see new art on teacher field trips (:)) and —best of all—our students were able to exhibit their artworks in a real art museum in Chicago for an authentic audience!
5th grade students in Room 308 worked in choice-based studios throughout the project in order to make independent creative decisions as artists. Choice-based studios provided diverse students the freedom to determine the best fit for their learning styles, interests and ability levels. Students chose their own media and methods to create at least one narrative self portrait using an art-making method beloved by Gayleen Aiken—comics, scrapbooking/collage, narrative painting and /or 3D cardboard construction. Students chose their brainstorming method to begin their artwork and evaluated their own artwork. These choice-based opportunities demonstrated the investigative processes found in artistic experience and all meaningful learning.
More choice-based projects and opportunities (and authentic audience experiences) are planned for the upcoming school year. To learn more about choice-based art education and Teaching For Artistic Behavior (TAB), please see http://www.slideshare.net/katherinedouglas/teaching-for-artistic-behavior-tab.
Our 2015 Chicago Arts Partnership in Education (C.A.P.E.) La Peña en La Floresta mosaic camp was a huge success! Over seventy-five artists of all ages came together to create an amazing new public art installation for the main entrance to our school!
The original organic tile and mirrored rendering was inspired by our garden ecology curriculum, 1st graders' native leaf sketches and mosaic campers' prairie flower illustrations. In addition to our new main entrance, we created sculptural towers that are installed in our nearby monarch butterfly garden. Both public art installations pay homage to outsider artist Simon Rodia's Nuestro Pueblo. (Nuestro Pueblo is also known as Watts Towers.) We are hopeful that these collaborative artworks will celebrate the creative spirit of our Waters School community for years to come!
We would like to thank all of our community artists and give special appreciation to the talents of Bill Keller, Clayton Miller and our extraordinary artists-in-residence, Victoria Mendoza and Juan Carlos Perez! Huge gratitude to Mrs. Crespo, Ms. Alvarez and everyone at C.A.P.E for their vision and determination to make this community art making opportunity possible!
La Peña en La Floresta is dedicated to the children of Waters Fine Arts School in loving memory of Joanne Nguyen (2001-2015).
2014/2015 ME & WE: EXPLORING IDENTITY & COMMUNITY WITH VIVIAN MAIER INTUIT FELLOWSHIP with MS. ZELLE
Our Me & We: Exploring Identity and Community with Vivian Maier project defined and demonstrated student identity as individuals and as a community (as 5th graders, as members of Waters School and as Chicago youth). Students in Room 308 illustrated their own interpretations of identity by creating a series of narrative photographs documenting themselves— in self-portraiture, school community vignettes and neighborhood street photography.
This practice shared research and interpretation of Vivian Maier's distinctive presence as an outsider (self-taught) artist who utilized her camera lens as a medium to share her vision and frame her experience. These Me & We discoveries have become photographic documents of how our students identify our time and space and their place in it. Photographic documentation included personal portfolios, in-school permanent exhibition and outdoor neighborhood community banners as well as exhibit at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Artists last May.
2014 Creative Schools Fund Arts Innovate Award & K-8 World Dance Partnership
Stepping Up: Around the World with Patterns, Lines and Forms! was a tremendous arts integration experience for Waters Fine Arts School students, teachers and community at large. In this program, we explored the evolution of contemporary American dance by discovering its roots in West Africa, its journey to the Americas through the Caribbean and to its most recent form— found in urban youth culture interpretations on the streets of the New York City in the 1970s and Chicago today.
All of our 600+ students, in grades K-8, experienced dance instruction in a variety of dance forms including folkloric dance of Guinea (grades K-2), Cuba and Haiti (grades 3-5) and contemporary American breaking/break dancing (grades 6-8). Our "math in motion" partnership with Chicago Arts Partnership in Education (CAPE) and individual dance artists (Errin Berry/Muntu Dance Theatre, Kathleen Turner/Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre, Amansu Eason/Muntu Dance Theatre, and Mikey Rioux/The Sho) was an intensive 10 week dance immersion during physical education class.
Experiences for students included dance instruction in each specific form, mathematics instruction taught through dance integration and written reflection of dance forms and mathematics integration in weekly student journals. Our students explored movement and learned dance skills throughout the 10 week residency and were able to incorporate these experiences into improvisional final dance creations that showcased newly acquired dance and mathematical knowledge to our entire school community.
Stepping Up: Around the World with Patterns, Lines and Forms! was a huge success for all stakeholders at our school and we look forward to finding new ways for our students to experience dance instruction on a daily basis due to the enthusiasm and learning that was evident throughout our 2013-2014 Creative Schools Arts Innovate Program. (A DVD of the final performances is available! See Mrs. Vecchioni for more information.)
2012/2013 Rivers of Our Ancestors, Our Homelands and Our World!
6th grade Fine Arts & Technology Integration Project with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra!
Rivers of Our Ancestors, Our Homelands and Our World was an arts integration extravaganza with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) that was featured at the Chicago Cultural Center and on the CSO's website as a component of the CSO's Chicago River Festival. Students were part of an award-winning documentary that shared the importance of rivers to our community and humanity. They even had a chance to meet Yo-Yo Ma.

Quinine taken medicinally can prevent leg cramps, but patients should view it as a last resort due to its potential dangers, advises Patient.co.uk. While the low doses of quinine typically prescribed for leg cramps usually do not produce side effects, any side effects experienced can be severe.Continue Reading
Taking sufficient amounts of calcium and magnesium can also help prevent leg cramps as can staying adequately hydrated, as MedicineNet indicates. Taking 1 gram of calcium per day, or even more for women, may prevent leg cramps at night.

|Paul Blanco quality used cars for sale in California
How to Trade my Old Car on a Newer car
Even cars that are not running.
Basically you find yourself with a car that won't go and you've got no dough. First things first means how do I get rid of the old junk that is not running and instead of having to pay someone to haul it off actually get some money for it. That's where a connected dealer with many years of dealing with old cars comes in. Talking about Paul Blanco's Good Car Company. He sells many, many old junkers to junk dealers. Yes junk yards. That's where a junk yard will buy an out of service old vehicle and "part it out" or one of the pull a part dealers. Selling an older popular model brings a surprising amount of money even for cars that are beyond the eyesore condition. And Paul Blanco has connections with some of these operators so he can many times get you as much money for your eyesore as a prime, in good running order model. In most cases that old car will make a good equity or down payment on the nearly new Toyota or Honda of your dreams. Even a Silverado or F150 or SUV.
But what about the folks who have a good running car or truck and it just doesn't fit what they want to do with it or they have outgrown it or just plain tired of it. The Blanco Good Car Company is a great place for you as well. You see these guys have a huge following because of their great reputation and their almost 100% financing opportunity regardless of credit score finance program. And they sell many old trades that they run through their reconditioning shop and get back in good shape for cash. So they have a strong market for your old vehicle, running or not. And are prepared to give thousands more over the "book" value because they have people waiting and looking for it.
|Quality used Honda's, Nissan's, Acura's, and Toyota's
So I recommend Paul Blanco's Good Car Company for those with junk to dispose of or those buyers who don't have a trade or even two nickles to rub together. And did I mention he has a finance plan for virtually anyone wanting a late model hot selling Car, SUV or Pickup truck. Regardless of credit score. And most are under $10,000. So push, pull or drag your old vehicle or the Blanco people will pick it up.

Many criminal cases are concluded without a trial through a plea agreement or diversion program. The prosecutor has sole discretion to offer a plea agreement or diversion.
Plea agreement
You agree to plead guilty or no contest to certain charges and the prosecutor agrees to dismiss others. Sometimes a prosecutor may amend the complaint to a lesser charge or be more lenient on sentencing recommendations if you agree to plead guilty.
- The prosecutor cannot initiate plea negotiations. The prosecutor has no obligation to discuss or negotiate your case.
- In plea negotiations, a prosecutor will consider the effect of the criminal offense on the victim, your criminal history and the seriousness of the crime.
Diversion program
Diversion is a contract between you and the prosecutor, whereby you agree to comply with certain conditions and agree to be supervised by a probation officer for a period of time, usually one year. Other conditions may include attending classes, counseling, restitution or a no-contact order with the victim(s).
- By agreeing to the conditions of diversion, you give up the right to a speedy trial, the right to confront witnesses and the right to present evidence.
- There is a diversion fee which is determined by the prosecutor.

Here is our old beast in action at Flagstaff Hill, Warrnambool many years ago. It is a reproduction of a 15th century (Burgundian?) breach-loading gun. It had a 3" bore by memory and could lob a concrete cannon-ball a fair distance. Not long after these pictures were taken we found a retired Yugoslavian wheelwright who made us a proper set of wheels (it had borrowed cart wheels).

Yes I am still alive! Hah. I am planning on getting back to being able to post some stuff to share in maybe another month or so. The next project will take me a while to get to, and I haven't been able to properly have time to work through it.
I worked on a small "mini-project" today and the idea popped into my head. I won't really elaborate on the thought process behind it too much, but I do want to share it because it may be helpful to others. I also won't explain what exactly the data is detailing, because it's not necessary (nor ground breaking).
When testing a signal or set up, we have some options when trying to improve the result. For someone like me who isn't quite there but it close, it really only does take 1 small thing to completely blow something up; to make it either the foundation for an edge or something not worth touching. The initial batch of re-works and filters, and their subsequent +/- %'s to the success rate are important. The first method is more or less working forwards. Taking the result, glancing over it, and say, "Let me try to add this, or subtract this, etc". An example of this is to try to filter out certain time periods. Perhaps the original idea planned to trade in healthy and liquid market states, and potential triggers that occur in the dead zones could be hurting the trading win percentage. This is a bit like brute forcing it, which is something that I think should be avoided.
It seems much better to try to work backwards – to go back through all the failures and see which hours of the day the signal works better or worse. BUT, and the point of this post, is that we must not forget other small additions we can make to really make the difference between the two stand out.
The left side shows the failures by hour of the day, and the right show the winners. Alone, or separated, there doesn't seem to be much difference. As researchers, we need to find good ways to compare both aspects in a way that is as least bias as possible. In this case, I chose to use a ratio of failure/winner. The standard assumptions show to be true. Trading very early in the session (asian open) seem to cause a lot of losses, while trading during the LO and throughout the active periods during the day seem to be a good strategy.

Welcome to the Nile Institute for Peace and Development - NIPD
Our History
On January 9th, 2005, the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) brought an end to the brutal civil war that has engulfed Sudan since before its independence in 1956. The CPA established the semi-autonomous Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS), in the southern part of the Republic of Sudan. This was effectively transformed into the Government of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9th, 2011. With the celebration of independence slowly coming to an end, the South Sudanese citizens are demanding the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream: freedom from oppression and domination, justice and equality, democracy and economic prosperity, peace and tranquility. The Nile Institute for Peace and Development was established on April 3, 2013, as a response to the need for peace and development throughout South Sudan and the Diaspora. The Nile Institute is the initiative of South Sudanese, friends of South Sudan, and those in the Diaspora, in collaboration with those in South Sudan to find durable solutions to the problems affecting various communities in the country.

One of my former students is a newly minted 2nd LT from West Point and will be on his own shortly and needs some pointers on cooking.
You'll need the same flat pan as steaks: broiler pan, cookie sheet (with rim), cheap aluminum foil pan, or emergency aluminum foil boat (make sure your sides are secure to hold juices). You may also want to use a frying pan slightly larger than your chop.
Chops: at most grocery store you will see chops packaged at least four ways: center loin chops normal cut, center loin chops thick cut, quarter loin chops (which will have several different cuts), and a range of boneless "chops". I'd suggest starting with center loin chops of normal thickness, they will all be done at the same time, and will not have require as much patience as thick chops (which can lead to undercooked pork - not desirable).
This time you'll want to set your oven rack at the lowest or next to lowest position - about 8 inches from the top broiler element. A traditional pack of four chops will fit nicely on a cookie sheet or broiler pan. Or cook two and save two. Get that element hot, put a little olive oil or melted butter on the chops and salt & pepper. Try a little paprika or cayenne when you decide to get fancy.
(There are very few cases of anyone getting sick from handling raw pork, nonetheless, wash up and hand sanitize after you put it in the pan, it will keep your momma happy).
Put the pan on the low hanging rack. Set a timer for 8 minutes. When it goes off, flip them to the other side for 8 more. You might want to pick up a couple of those cheap aluminum "salad/clamshell" tongs - they are invaluable for meat flipping - no punctures, cheap, and easy to clean.
Once the timer goes off you want to pull the pan out for a sec. Set it on a hot pad or trivet - a couple of those silicone pot holders would be a good move to use as trivets - to set hot stuff on.
Move a rack to the top or next to top spot - steak position. Put the pan on there for 45 seconds to a minute - watch closely for spatter/flare. I usually leave my door cracked open to the first position, it keeps the element hot and you can see, and pull out the pan if necessary.
If you will watch and listen to the chop under the element you can actually hear the ribbons of fat along the edge of the chop sizzle or hiss as they are browning. Flip it to the other side for about 45 seconds and remove.
That should do it. You don't want it under done, though. If you stick a fork in it and the juices run clear (not bloody), it is done. (Hence, "stick a fork in me..."). If it does not run clear, move the rack to the low position and give it another 2 minutes each side. Check again. When it's done, let the meat rest at least three minutes before cutting.
Alternate method #1: Pan fry the chop in your frying pan in butter, coconut oil, or olive oil (I'm constitutionally opposed to seed oils, but I think you know that by now). Start at medium heat, and lower it a notch or two when you flip the meat. About 8-10 minutes per side should do it, put you will get spatter and a bit of smoke, so make sure you have a functioning exhaust hood if you go this way. I lay a paper plate or my fancy spatter screen on top of the chop to contain the popping oil. This plate is non-standard and ill-advised. And it works. Check the meat the same way.
Mixed (preferred): Similar to the steak method, you can sear the chop for that final minute each side in a hot buttered pan instead of on the top rack. More mess, but a little better taste.
Side dish #1: Buy applesauce, preferably unsweetened, and serve a little on the side. It's traditional. (It even comes in cups like pudding).
Side dish #2: Steamed veggies. If you'll eat carrots, try them first. It's easiest to buy "baby carrots" (it's a lie) at first, because you want them to be uniform size - so they'll cook at the same pace. (later you can learn to peel and cut them into even-sized pieces, but prepared is easier starting out). Use a regular saucepan. Put in about a 1/2-3/4 inch of water. Put in a couple/three of handfuls of carrots, so that some are sticking out of the water. Put the eye on high until the water boils, about five minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure none are sticking to the bottom. Once you are getting bubbles, lower the eye it to medium.
You want it to go another five minutes, at least. You want the water to boil away, but not completely - because the carrots will blacken/burn quickly - undesirable. So add a little water if it is about to disappear. Once you have reached 10 minutes total time, fork out a carrot and put it on a plate. Gently try to mash the carrot with the bottom of the fork. If it resists go another two minutes and try again. If it mashes easily, they are done. Once done, put them in a dish and put butter on while they are hot - it becomes a snazzy side dish. At the next level, you pour a little REAL maple syrup over the carrots with the butter and you are practically a professional.
You can steam just about any small vegetable this way. Tiny or cut up squash. Peas, brussels sprouts, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
Side dish, options: You can go with the salad from the steak post, or similarly heat a can of corn or green beans in the microwave for two minutes - in a microwave safe bowl.
Now that you've got the main two bachelor real meats down, we'll start getting fancy.

3) When I passed through the occasional shade, I wasn't sure if it was just a cool breeze or the Elysian Fields, but it does seem that I have survived.
First Things First: Steak
Steak is the easiest and one of the best meals you can cook for yourself. There are a lot of different cuts so you will need to eat several different steaks to find out what you prefer and how much you want it cooked.
You'll need a flat pan, something simple and metal, but not teflon. A tin baking sheet is fine, as is a $1 flat aluminum foil pan. In a pinch I have made a pan by folding aluminum foil. For the alternate methods you'll want a non-teflon frying pan.
You'll need a steak: Ribeye, T-Bone/Porterhouse, NY Strip, Sirloin, Flat Iron, Chuck Eye, London Broil, Top Round, in general order of cost/quality. Anything below that you'll probably want to cook longer.
You can rub the steak with a little olive oil or melted butter and season it with a little salt & pepper. You'll need to experiment to see what you like.
Method 1: You'll need an oven with a broiler (top heating element). Put the oven rack in the 1st or second slot, so that it is near the broiler. Let the broiler element get hot. Put the steak on the pan and the pan on the rack under the hot element. With an average steak, leave it three minutes and flip it for 3 more minutes. That should give you a rare to medium rare steak. Cook it longer for more done, obviously.
Over time you'll need to figure out how much you want it done, how hot your element is, how far away your rack is, and judge how thick your steak is. Plenty of chances to experiment.
Method two: You'll need a metal, preferably stainless, frying pan, avoid teflon, slightly bigger than your steak. Heat a tablespoon (double thick slice) or more of butter in the frying pan. Slightly above medium. Once it starts to melt, swish it around to coat the pan. Once it starts to make noise, put in the steak. About the same amount of time, 3 min on each side, should get you a medium rare steak. Match time to thickness. There will be spatter and a little smoke. (Turn the eye down if it smokes, and be aware of smoke detectors).
Method Three (Preferred): Mixes both. Broil two minutes each side under the broiler and then give each side a minute in the buttered frying pan. See The Maillard Reaction.
It's really easy to do. Once cooked, let the meat rest at least 3 minutes before you start cutting your steak.
Side dish: get a potato or sweet potato, microwave it for 6 minutes and then squeeze (it will be hot). If it gives a little it's close to done. If it is stiff, cook it another minute, check and repeat til it gives a bit. More done is better. Slice it down the middle, but not completely in half, widen the hole, break the potato up with a fork inside the skin, and add butter and sour cream.
Another side dish: can of green beans, microwavable (not plastic or metal) bowl. 2 minutes. When done, drain of water, add butter, salt & pepper.
Another side dish option: some mixed spring greens (or any lettuce you prefer) put on some cut up tomato or onion or any veg you like. Bottled dressing is easy. A Viniagrette made by mixing 2 parts olive oil and one part vinegar (balsamic, red wine, or apple cider) together in a cup is cool. Try two tablespoons of oil and one tablespoon of vinegar at first. It will separate quickly, just restir it.
Plate it up, with the salad in a seprate bowl. It looks professional as hell, and took no time at all. Get good at this for dates & company. Much cheaper than buying steaks out.

Q: Is it possible to paint over wood stained a dark walnut color? There is so much of it in our house — cabinets, trim and so forth. I don't want to have to sand them.
A: There is no need to sand unless there are rough areas that you should smooth. You should also fill nail holes and dents, using a vinyl spackling compound, and sand the patches. Use 150-grit sandpaper for all sanding. You can buy all the supplies you need at a home center or hardware store.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz.
Major League Baseball will test for human growth hormone throughout the regular season and increase efforts to detect abnormal levels of testosterone.
Players were subject to blood testing for HGH during spring training last year, and Thursday's agreement between management and the players' association expands that throughout the season. Those are in addition to urine tests for other performance-enhancing drugs.
Under the changes to baseball's drug agreement, the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory in Laval, Quebec, will keep records of each player, including his baseline ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone, and will conduct Carbon Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) tests of any urine specimens that "vary materially."
The announcement came one day after steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa failed to gain election to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
Commenting on the timing, Selig noted the drug program changes had long been in the works "but it wasn't too bad, was it?"
Selig reflected on how far baseball had come on performance enhancing drug issues.
Baseball began random drug testing in 2003, testing with penalties the following year and suspensions for first offenders in 2005. Initial penalties were lengthened from 10 days to 50 games in 2006, when illegal amphetamines were banned. The number of tests has gradually increased over the past decade.
Selig called the latest change a "yet another indication how far this sport has come."
Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for economics and league affairs, said each player will be tested at least once.
Selig praised the cooperation of the players association, once a staunch opponent of drug testing, in agreeing to the expansion.
Christiane Ayotte, director of the Canadian laboratory, said that the addition of random blood testing and a "longitudinal profiling program makes baseball's program second to none in detecting and deterring the use of synthetic HGH and testosterone."
She said the program compares favorably with any program conducted by WADA.
HGH testing remains a contentious issue in the National Football League. At a hearing last month, U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, accused the NFL players union of trying to back out of HGH testing.
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said at the time that the union is not backing out of anything but was looking to resolve scientific issues surrounding the tests. HGH testing is part of the 10-year labor agreement reached in 2011 but protocols must be agreed to by both sides.
At the time of last month's congressional hearing, NFL senior vice president Adolpho Birch called the union's insistence on a population study to determine whether current HGH tests are appropriate a delay tactic that threatened that league's leadership in drug testing matters.

I'd write a wine column.
Oh sure, they'd say. You, with your long lines, your fill-in-the-blank — you've done that before. That's what they always say. So I'd hand them my column and say: here, sir, would you like some more?
Take, for example, the 2014 Whispering Angel Rosé I had the other night. It's in the midst of fall; this is the best time for a rosé. The chills add depth. They bring nuance, a cool distraction. Some rosés, I'll even venture to say, can really go beyond the pale.
Let's speak of pale. It's a darker shade than clear, the ghostly version of a flush. Let's get to the point straightaway.
There are four ways to make rosé.
The first uses the grapes' own mass to make them bleed. Saignée, the French call it. The grapes can only blame themselves.
The second involves limited maceration. The grape skins are left in contact with the juice until the winemaker decides it's best to pull away. This controls the color. The longer the connection, the deeper the blush.
The third method is also about control, but it's less pronounced and more diffused. The grapes are pressed until the juice has the right color. The pressure is passive, assumed. It's there no matter where you turn. In the best of circumstances, you can't stop this kind of blush, but you can shape the color.
The fourth involves a run off. The winemaker removes the juice from the tank of fermenting red wine. The run off process results in a darker and more intense wine, but no one calls this liquid rosé. I tried to click on a link to learn more about this, but the link was broken. What's left is, therefore, only proportionally rosé.
I would think it would be difficult to be a rosé. Not quite red, not quite white, there's always the implication that it could be a bit more further defined. I don't understand it or its casual substance and I always think it could be something more.
The Whispering Angel has probably a medium-grade hue. I've seen deeper rosés; lighter ones, as well. It's grown in Provence, France, and consists primarily of Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino) and Consult grapes. It has 13 percent alcohol.
This chilled rosé — they are always best when a bit icy — has a crisp acidity and more body than others sitting across from it on the shelves. It has lingering curves that it seems to show, again and again, sip after sip, without meaning to. It's softness, in a bottle, and for a moment, this might be as good as it gets.
