They had the temporary satisfaction of no longer having to deal with Toronto for the remaining 16 games after the Blue Jays completed their season dominance with a 6-4 victory at U.S. Cellular Field.
"Thank God they're out of here and we don't have to face those guys anymore," manager Ozzie Guillen said after the Sox had lost to Toronto for the seventh time in eight meetings. "They give a lot of people trouble. I think we have to thank them, too, because they were pretty good against Minnesota a couple of weeks ago."
Toronto went 6-0 against the Twins this season.
The Sox took some solace in that they broke out of their series slump against Toronto with four runs in the eighth inning. But that came after the Blue Jays had snapped a scoreless tie with six runs in the top of the inning off Gavin Floyd and two relievers.
"It will be good to move on," said Jim Thome, who capped the four-run eighth with a two-run homer off reliever Scott Downs. "They have a nice pitching staff, and, unfortunately, we didn't have a very good series. We have to bounce back.
"[Floyd] has done a great job for us all year, and he kept us in the game. We haven't done too much offensively."
The Sox were outscored 34-18 in the eight games against Toronto, and Thome's homer represented the only one they hit in the four-game series.
Before the eighth inning, the Sox placed only two runners in scoring position against Shaun Marcum, who improved to 3-0 lifetime with a 2.16 ERA against them. Marcum's streak of 14 consecutive scoreless innings against the Sox was snapped when Jermaine Dye hit a two-out, two-run double off Downs that preceded Thome's homer.
A two-out fielding error by third baseman Scott Rolen put the tying run on base in the ninth, but Orlando Cabrera struck out against closer B.J. Ryan to end the game and prevent the Sox from increasing their lead over Minnesota. The lead stands at one game.
"As far as missed opportunities, who knows?" Thome said. "We have to move on. We have Detroit coming in, and we have to focus in on them. Fortunately, Minnesota lost, so that's a good thing. We have to keep battling. It has been a fun month to keep this going."
The Sox will have to generate more offense this weekend without first baseman Paul Konerko, who remains sidelined by a medial collateral sprain of his right knee.
"Paul uses his legs a lot to hit," Guillen said before the game. "He has a lot of body movement in his swing. I told him not to have any timetable because if you don't make it back in that time you're going to be upset. Take the time, build the right way. If it takes one or two weeks — hey, that's what it is. But don't try to rush it because it's not going to do you any good."

Cohen -- who never criticized Bush's 2004 skit mocking lack of Iraqi WMDs -- called Colbert "a bully " for his "rude" and "insulting" correspondents dinner routine
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
In a column titled "So Not Funny," Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen declared that comedian Stephen Colbert's scathing routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner was "rude" and "insulting," and added that Colbert was "a bully." However, Cohen offered no criticism of Bush when, in a pre-taped skit at the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents Association (RTCA) in 2004, he made light of the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In his May 4 column, titled "So Not Funny," Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen declared that comedian Stephen Colbert's scathing routine at the April 29 White House Correspondents Association dinner -- in which Colbert satirized President Bush, the Bush administration, and the press -- was "rude" and "insulting," and added that Colbert was "a bully." Yet despite his disdain for Colbert's efforts to poke fun at such topics as Bush's lagging poll numbers, Cohen expressed no disapproval of Bush when, in a skit that had been pre-taped for the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents Association (RTCA) in 2004, he made light of the administration's failure to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq. By that time, more than 500 American service members had died in Iraq.
In his April 4 column, Cohen took exception to numerous jokes Colbert made during his 20-minute monologue:
Colbert made jokes about Bush's approval rating, which hovers in the middle 30s. He made jokes about Bush's intelligence, mockingly comparing it to his own. "We're not some brainiacs on nerd patrol," he said. Boy, that's funny.
Colbert took a swipe at Bush's Iraq policy, at domestic eavesdropping, and he took a shot at the news corps for purportedly being nothing more than stenographers recording what the Bush White House said. He referred to the recent staff changes at the White House, chiding the media for supposedly repeating the cliche "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" when he would have put it differently: "This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg." A mixed metaphor, and lame as can be.
In addition to labeling such jokes "rude" and "insulting," Cohen argued that Colbert, the host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, took "advantage of" Bush's "sense of decorum," and suggested Colbert's jokes about Bush's low approval ratings, his intelligence, Iraq policy, and domestic spying made Colbert "a bully." Cohen claimed Colbert could have used the opportunity to tell "Washington things it would have been good for them to hear," but he did not elaborate on what those "things" -- different from what Colbert chose to address -- might be. Cohen suggested that Bush not attend the dinner next year, writing "Spring is a marvelous time to be at Camp David."
Cohen, however, had no criticism for Bush's March 24, 2004, RTCA skit mocking the administration's failure to find WMD in Iraq. In fact, Media Matters for America could find no instance in which Cohen made any comment about Bush's skit.
The annual dinner featured Bush narrating a slide show with pictures of him searching the White House for Iraq's WMDs. As the BBC reported on March 26, 2004:
One pictured Mr. Bush looking under a piece of furniture in the Oval Office, at which the president remarked: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere."
After another one, showing him scouring the corner of a room, Mr. Bush said: "No, no weapons over there," he said.
And as a third picture, this time showing him leaning over, appeared on the screen the president was heard to say: "Maybe under here?"
At the time, more than 500 U.S. soldiers and many more Iraqis had been killed in the conflict. Iraq war veterans and family members of fallen soldiers spoke out against Bush's joke, calling it "disgraceful" and stating that it "cheapens the sacrifice that American soldiers and their families are dealing with every single day." Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA) also responded, stating: "If George Bush thinks his deceptive rationale for going to war is a laughing matter, then he's even more out of touch than we thought. Unfortunately for the president, this is not a joke"
The day after the RTCA dinner, Cohen penned a column titled "Empty Talk at NPR," lamenting the termination of longtime NPR host Bob Edwards. A Media Matters review* of Cohen's columns since March 24, 2004, has found no mention of Bush's WMD skit.
* A Nexis search of The Washington Post for "(Richard w/5 Cohen) and Bush and WMD" from March 24, 2004, to May 4, 2006.

Author Notes: This crêpe is the love child of some very Spanish ingredients (chickpeas awash in garlic and good olive oil, Serrano ham), and other things that taste good (poached eggs, Pecorino cheese). Yum. —Cristina Sciarra
Makes: 4 crêpes
Crêpes Salées (these measurements come from David Lebovitz's recipe for Buckwheat Crêpes, and the recipe yields about 20 crêpes)
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons melted, plus more for cooking
½ cup buckwheat flour
¾ cup white flour
3 eggs
Crêpe Filling
2 potatoes
good quality olive oil, divided
sea salt, freshly ground black pepper
a spoonful of Dijon mustard
the juice of ½ a lemon
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 14-ounce can of chickpeas
4 eggs, as fresh as possible
4 handfuls of arugula
Pecorino cheese, grated on a microplane
about 8 slices of Serrano ham
In This Recipe
Crêpes Salées (these measurements come from David Lebovitz's recipe for Buckwheat Crêpes, and the recipe yields about 20 crêpes)
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. If you are letting it rest overnight, cover the bowl and move it to the refrigerator. (Bring it to room temperature before you start cooking.) If it will only sit for 2 hours or so, cover it and keep it at room temperature.
- When you are ready to make the crêpes, locate your widest, flattest non-stick pan. Using a paper towel, rub a thin sheen of butter all over the pan, and then set it over medium heat. (You can repeat this for every new crêpe, but it usually isn't necessary.)
- When the pan is hot, use a ladle to quickly drop a measure of the batter into the pan. Turn the pan in a wide circle, as quickly as you can, so that the batter distributes evenly and rapidly. You want as thin a pancake as possible. Don't worry if the first one is a disaster; it's part of the process. Save the disasters for yourself. You will get better with each crêpe.
- As the crêpes cook, pile them on a plate; you want to cook all of your crêpes before you start filling them.
Crêpe Filling
- Make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425F. Peel and dice both potatoes, cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Toss the potatoes generously with olive oil, salt and pepper, and then move them to a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake them for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown. Set aside.
- Make the salad dressing: Spoon the mustard into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, and some salt and pepper. Mix this together before adding a few tablespoons of olive oil. Give it a taste. Does it need more freshly ground black pepper? It probably does. Add more, and then set the bowl aside.
- Prepare the chickpeas: Heat a healthy measure of olive oil in a non-stick pan. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the garlic. Allow it to simmer until it is fragrant. Add the chickpeas, and stir them gently, until they are swathed in olive oil. Cook just long enough to heat them through.
- Poach your eggs: For the industrious researcher, the internet is rife with tricks and tips on how best to poach an egg. This is what works for me: Heat a wide, deep pan with water until it is just barely simmering.
- Meanwhile, crack your eggs into individual cups, and add a splash of vinegar to each one. Let each egg sit for a few minutes in the vinegar, while the water is heating
- When you are ready to poach, use the back of a spoon to make a little whirlpool in the water; drop an egg into the middle. You can use the spoon the nudge the egg whites nearer to the yolk. I am a wimp, so I poach my eggs one at a time.
- Let each egg poach for a few minutes, and then remove them from the water with a spatula. You can poach your eggs a few hours ahead of time, and gently reheat them just before service. It is also advisable to use the freshest eggs you can find.
- Prepare the salad: Move the arugula to a large bowl. Top the lettuce with as much Pecorino as you feel like grating. Next, add the potatoes, and then the dressing, and toss until everything is covered.
- Prepare the crêpe: Place a buckwheat crêpe in a non-stick pan. Layer: a slice or two of Serrano ham, the chickpeas, the salad and a poached egg. Repeat, and serve immediately.

Falkbeer Counter-gambit
The Falkbeer Counter-Gambit is one of the most aggressive openings for black. It is a direct counter attack against the King's Gambit of white. One of the great things about this counter is that it destroys all the lines that a king's gambit player may have planned on using. There are also lots of traps that white will have to look out for as his king is very exposed even after the second move.

CHICAGO – The Bears made their 2014 Soldier Field debut at the annual Family Fest fan promotion Saturday night in front of a crowd of their most rabid supporters of about 27,000.
Bears coach Marc Trestman was clearly energized by the crowd and felt his players were too.
"You know this is our home, this is where we're going to play our games and you know any time the guys are in front of a crowd like this the energy is great and it's just fun for them to come out at night and practice," Trestman said.
As the Bears faithful cheered almost every move players made on the field, the biggest story may have been the substantial list of veterans who remained on the sidelines.
Some of the biggest cheers of the night were reserved for Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long who dressed out and participated in offensive line drills but was held out of full team activities.
Trestman said, "Just watching him [Long] warm up it was good to see him in pads. Things are looking up and the plan is still in place."
Long said he was glad to be back as well, "It was really nice to get into pads. It was really nice to be out there with the guys who have worked so hard all training camp. I've missed out on a lot of it, so it was good to get back today. We'll keep the ball rolling on Monday."
Earlier in the week the head coach indicated he was targeting Saturday night for Long's return and cautioned not to make anything out of the likelihood he would not be thrown right into 11-on-11 work.
The Bears also were glad to have Roberto Garza back as well after the veteran center missed Friday's practice for "personal reasons."
Running back Shaun Draughn was excused from Saturday's practice for personal reasons and was not at Soldier Field.
Seeing Jared Allen and Jeremiah Ratliff out of uniform and watching from the sidelines was a bit of a surprise but their absence was nothing more than veteran nights off aimed at taking advantage of the Sunday off day as well giving them two full days rest at the end of the first full week of camp.
The club is slightly more concerned – emphasis on slightly – by the continued absence from practice of sixth offensive lineman Eben Britton and Pro Bowl cornerback Tim Jennings.
Britton has missed the last four practices after tweaking a hamstring but we are told he is day – to – day and will hopefully be back soon.
Jennings has been nursing a "tight quad muscle" and had actually participated in individual drills at recent practices while sitting out team drills but he was held out completely Saturday night.
The two most notable fixtures on the sidelines continue to be safeties Chris Conte and Craig Steltz who both remain on the PUP list while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery and a groin injury respectively.
It's hard to guess how significant their injuries are to the team's future at safety as both players could be long shots to make the club this year after Adrian Wilson, Ryan Mundy, M.D. Jennings and Danny McCray were all brought in via veteran free agency and Brock Vereen was drafted in the fourth round.
Wilson got his first reps with the starters at Friday's practice and quite a few more Saturday night. While both starting safety spots will almost certainly be up for garbs for at least a few more weeks, the five-time Pro Bowler will be extremely difficult to unseat if he proves to be 100 percent healthy.
Trestman indicated his two safeties would be interchangeable rather than focusing on finding a strong safety and a free safety. "The job is really to some degree interchangeable. That could change once we figure out where we are, but they're really interchangeable at this time."
Wilson and Mundy are the most experienced and accomplished of the safeties in camp and while both have played mostly strong safety, it's hard to ignore they ran together with the first unit at Saturday night's practice.

CLAYTON — A rural creekside property used in the past as a golf course and a horse pasture is a conservation group's latest and biggest purchase to protect and restore Marsh Creek, the second longest creek in Contra Costa County.
Save Mount Diablo announced Thursday it has paid $650,000 to buy and preserve the 51-acre Big Bend property along Marsh Creek between Clayton and Brentwood. The scenic property with big oak trees and a flood plain gets its name from a sharp U-shaped bend in the creek.
The Big Bend parcel hosts a 3,100-foot-long stretch of Marsh Creek, the longest stretch of creek frontage on the eight Marsh Creek properties Save Mount Diablo has acquired over the past five years, said Ron Brown, executive director of the Walnut Creek-based conservation group. That frontage makes this land a rich water source for wildlife and plants in an arid climate.
"It's an important part of a very long-term project to improve Marsh Creek," he said.
Leaders of the conservation group said they hope to turn the land over to a public park agency someday, but that could be many years off, given the financial struggles of California's park system.
In the meantime, Save Mount Diablo will focus on protecting the land and improving the environment there, with measures such as putting in native plants and managing runoff from the manure layers left by horses. The last horses were moved off the property earlier this year.
Besides the creek, the property has many oak trees, a large floodplain and habitat for California red-legged frogs, a threatened species that lives there.
"This is a good site for restoration," said Seth Adams, the conservation group's land programs manager.
Marsh Creek is more than 33 miles long and flows from the Mount Diablo foothills into the Delta near Oakley. About 10 miles of it is protected, Adams said.
Passers-by on Marsh Creek Road recognize the Big Bend property as the place where up to 50 to 60 horses at a time were pastured for years before the property went into foreclosure, Brown said. Save Mount Diablo bought the property earlier this year from a bank in an online auction.
"It was a little strange not knowing whom we were bidding against," Brown said, "but we were familiar with the property, and we got a reasonable price."
Save Mount Diablo will lead a hike on the property from 9 a.m. to noon June 1. Reservations for the hike can be made by visiting SaveMountDiablo.org.

Battlefield Heroes, the zany, free-to-play combat game from EA DICE has a new map, a new game mode to play on it, and jet packs to get you around it.
The map, "Midnight Mayhem" sets the Heroes in a nighttime environment - the ruins of a military compound.

Eric Cantu, Vietnam veteran, will speak during rededication of town veterans� memorial
While many Kinston residents will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the city�s founding this weekend, several others will be in Farmville commemorating the 50th anniversary of the beginning of 13 years of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
�It was nice to be asked to their dedication ceremony,� said Eric Cantu, who served in Vietnam and has been invited by American Legion Post 151 to speak at the organization�s annual Veterans Day commemoration.
The U.S. military was involved in the Vietnam conflict from 1962 to 1975, and President Barack Obama issued a proclamation on May 25 to kick off the 13-year nationwide commemoration of the anniversary.
Post 151�s event � one of many local commemorative events � will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Farmville Veterans Memorial on the Town Common off Main Street.
David Gay, the post commander, said his organization holds a small Veteran�s Day celebration each year before the town�s major Veterans Day events. It honors veterans from various wars.
This year the focus is on the Vietnam War and the celebration of the 50th anniversary.
�They tell me he�s a great speaker,� Gay said of Cantu. �As a matter of fact I�ve had two people from Kinston call me and ask me for directions to the memorial.�
Gay himself served in Vietnam during 1969 and 1970 as a U.S. Army helicopter mechanic.
He said he was shocked at first that it has been 50 years since the U.S. became involved, but �when I look back it�s been 42 years since I left the place.�
In his proclamation, Obama asked Americans to remember the 3 million men and women who served in Vietnam, the more than 58,000 �patriots� who gave their lives and the more than 1,600 members of the military still listed as missing in action.
The Vietnam War was unpopular with much of the American public, and many veterans were scorned when they returned home.
�I know a lot of my men still have a long way to go until they really feel like they have been accepted home,� said Cantu, who served as a U.S. Army helicopter crewman during 1966 and 1967.
His duties included serving as the gunner on a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
�We�re still part of the history and our main legacy will be we have helped our citizens to appreciate our soldiers today, and their families,� he said.

When the media and press began breathing hard with the mention of a hurricane and began going mental with the possibility of another Katrina, I started thinking of my childhood in the late 30s, early 40s, and 50s.
We were also forewarned a couple of days before of the oncoming storms by radio, but it was just a fast "Flash." We'd read in the previous day's newspapers about its affects on Cuba or Florida and the direction it might go. All the information if I remember correctly came from ship-to-shore from barometric readings and of course paraphernalia the weathermen used at that time. They were incredibly efficient for that period. They also had records or long memories of previous hurricanes and the routs they had taken, sometimes dating back hundreds of years.
I always prayed a little harder that the hurricanes would come during the school week and not during weekends. We got off the day of the storm, as the experts knew their arrival time. The schools took no chances even though it was before we became a litigious society.
The day of each hurricane began normally with slightly blowing winds, birds chirping and the air-feeling crisp if it were fall. As the day progressed you could see the skies becoming overcast, with the winds lessening until the leaves on the trees were motionless. The surrounding area at this time was completely devoid of a single singing bird. The silence was overwhelming with the air totally oppressive. It was like the lights had gone out at the opera as the overture to the first act was about to begin. One leave would move, then slowly another, as you could begin to see them shimmer. A few more, then a flurry, with the entire tree entering to play its part as a full string section. The surrounding trees like woodwinds and brass came in forte, with the bombastic percussion and large cymbals clashing with a fury at fortississimo level, as the storm was now full-blown. The crescendo of wind and rain continued building until it had reached its peak, then the decrescendo began until it had finally descended to pianississimo at its conclusion, leaving in its wake ruin and devastation.

Proposed sex-offender treatment facility meets resistance in Montville
Montville — Despite opposition from the community, the nonprofit Connection Inc. has been selected to create a sex-offender treatment facility for inmates about to be released and wants to locate it at the entrance of the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center.
The Connection Inc., a human services and community development agency, was the sole bidder for the project to create 12, pre-release, sex-offender treatment beds. A review committee within the state Department of Correction made a recommendation to the acting commissioner this week to accept the proposal.
The plan calls for the beds to be sited at the Cochegan House, a halfway home already operated by The Connection Inc. on the grounds of the prison. The facility would house sexual offenders who are nearing the end of their sentences. Its goal is to help reacclimate inmates to the community and assist them in finding jobs and treatment.
The proposal for a sex-offender treatment facility came in response to legislation passed in 2008 addressing the need for better treatment for sex offenders before they are released into the community. It is anticipated that the creation of the 12 sex-offender beds will cost about $1 million annually. The proposal calls for the contract to start July 1.
Town officials in Montville vowed Tuesday to continue to fight the proposal, saying they wanted answers to questions such as whether another facility would be needed, what type of inmates would be housed there and where they would go after completing the program.
"I'm not happy with it," Mayor Joseph Jaskiewicz said. "I don't want it in this town. I cannot emphasize this enough. I'm not going to support it."
DOC Director of External Affairs Brian Garnett said those details, such as the parameters of the program and the supervision of inmates, will be worked out in the contract. Negotiations have only recently begun.
Town Council Chairwoman Donna Jacobson called the proposal "one of the most significant moves of idiocracy I've ever seen."
"This isn't a situation of 'not in my back yard.' It would be in our front yard, and in the middle of it," she said.
Town officials are also concerned that the facility may hinder economic development on Route 32, which has been highlighted as the town's "commercial corridor."
The mayor and Jacobson said it would be close to shopping plazas, a child-care facility and a residential neighborhood. About a mile away is St. Bernard School, a Catholic high school, and a bit farther away is an elementary school, Jaskiewicz said.
Jaskiewicz said he has been in touch with the five state representatives and senators that represent Montville asking for their help. Garnett said local legislators are meeting with the commissioner today in Hartford to discuss the proposal. The meeting is not open to the public.
Town Councilor Gary Murphy, who works for the DOC, agreed that the location is not suitable for the facility and said Montville has done its fair share of supporting the state DOC, citing the Cochegan House and the three prison buildings on the Corrigan-Radgowski property.
Murphy said he has already heard from residents who are against the proposal. "Right now, on the surface, I oppose this plan. But we need more information," he said.
In response to the community's concerns, the DOC asked The Connection Inc. to also consider all other locations that may be available statewide.
The selection of a preferred bidder only indicates that the DOC can now begin negotiating a contract with Connection Inc. It has directed that the negotiations will include a strong emphasis on security for the facility in keeping with the agency's mission of public safety, Garnett said.
Originally, the DOC and the court support services division of the Judicial Branch were going to pool their resources to create a 24-bed facility, but funding from the judicial department fell through in January.

An alternate way to buy japanese music:
I wanted to test is this: http://www.mora.jp online music buying ala itunes.
the site looked promising, lots of choice, price around 250yen per song, everything went smoothly until i got the following error page:
"Sorry. The Service of this site could be available with the access only from JAPAN."
*kicks sony in the balls*
if anyone know how to bypass that "feature"...
After that failure, i tried the same thing on the avextrax site http://atmusic.avexnet.or.jp/wma/ , and it worked!
it didn't even ask for personal informations like name or address, just the credit card number.

Personally I use Anime Jungle.
You can find new and used CDs/DVDs/merchandise there and the prices and quality on the used items are amazing. I've bought CDs from them many times at 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the brand new copies and they look brand new even though they were used! (I actually e-mailed them to verify they were used.)
Sometimes it's a bit hard to find CD singles though if you aren't looking for something specific or a 3 inch CD single since they put all the Maxi Singles in with the normal CDs. But searching through all the pages in that case can be worth it sometimes since you can find really rare CDs.

I think yesasia is quite reasonable, CDs price is quite standard although others like manga might be expensive there, but only if you take advantage of free-shipping option. If not it's pretty painful since you have to pay for both unit and shipment. If you just want 1 CD try play-asia, they have low shipping cost and rather fast delivery (from my previous purchase).
For example: Aria Piano Collection: US price+shipping
Play-asia: US $19.90+$2.60=US$22.50
CD Japan: YEN $2000+$800 ~ US$24.06
Yesasia: US $19.75 + Free(conditionall) = US$19.75 (conditional)
Animecastle: Do not have most recent or new anime music.
Amazon: Last resort unless you want to pay for both unit & shipment.

I prefer to buy music from http://www.animecastle.com just because they have better prices but they jack up the shipping to make up for it. Animenation lost 2 orders of mine but I've never tried the other sites. Wouldn't mind doing so.

Trying to obtain a song.
I've been trying to find a song called "Tears and Rain" by Yoichiro Yoshikawa, it's the ending theme to Green Legend Ran. I've looked high and low for this song. I found the sound track to Green Legend Ran on a few sites, but it was always Unavailable, why do they list it if I cant buy it? From trying to buy it, to trying to download it, my search has come to nothing since I cannot find it no matter what.
If anyone knows where to buy it or has it, I'd much appreciate it, it is a really good song.

resonably priced CDs
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find CDs that aren't horrendously marked up just b/c they are imports.
In particular I want Koichi Domoto singing Deep In Your Heart from Jyu Oh Sei. I know it's out as a single but 12USD seems a bit much for one song.

Unless it's an old anime OST/Single. otherwise, online market price for a new CD is usually between US$12 to $18, excluding shipping.

Farmingdale State - 2, Western New England - 0
Farmingdale, N.Y. - Senior starting pitcher C.J. Bula (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.) and sophomore relief pitcher Mike Dolce (St. James, N.Y.) combined for a 2-0 one-hit shutout on Saturday night against #14 Western New England at the St. Joseph's Tournament held in Farmingdale, N.Y.
Bula went 7.2 innings for the win, allowing just one hit while striking out nine. Dolce pitched 1.1 innings in relief for the save, striking out one with no hits.
The Rams scored runs in the fourth and sixth innings. In the fourth, senior catcher Frank Scarlato (Holbrook, N.Y.) had an RBI walk to score freshman shortstop Anthony Alvino (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) for the go ahead run, 1-0. In the sixth, junior first baseman Ron Remi (Massapequa, N.Y.) score for the 2-0 lead.
Western New England spoiled the no-hitter in the top of the eighth with a single to right field, but the Rams would force the nationally ranked squad to six more outs and secure the victory.

SOCORRO, N.M., April 29, 2002 -- Bonnie J. Wayne, a graduate student pursuing a master of science degree in biology at New Mexico Tech, recently was named a Macey Scholar at the state-supported research university. The honor includes a $5,000 scholarship. (For stories on the other two 2001 recipients of the Macey Scholarship, please see
Wayne, the daughter of Robert and Cheryl Wayne of Albuquerque, is a graduate of Del Norte High School. She is currently pursuing a master of science degree in biology at New Mexico Tech, after having earned two bachelor of science degrees at Tech last year, one in mathematics and one in psychology.
In the recent past, Wayne has volunteered her time to work for the New Mexico Science Olympiad, developed a website for the New Mexico Tech psychology department, performed in plays and musicals at Tech, served as a student orientation leader, and written several articles in Paydirt, the campus newspaper.
In addition to her coursework, Wayne has been actively involved in researching the effects of retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, on the brainstem nuclei of developing laboratory rats.
"New Mexico Tech has been a great experience for me," Wayne says. "I was able to receive two bachelor of science degrees in five years, and I should receive my master's in two years.
"It's a lot of schooling," she adds, "but soon I'll be paid to do something I love to do. . . . That's all that really matters to me."
As an undergraduate, Wayne also attended New Mexico Tech on a Tech President's Scholarship and a Lottery Success Scholarship.
Tech students chosen to participate in the William and Jean Macey Scholars Program are selected on the basis of their demonstrated academic accomplishments, both in the classroom and research laboratory, as well as their active participation in institutional service and co-curricular activities.
The Macey Scholars Program is funded by an endowment established by William B. and Jean M. Macey of Albuquerque.
William Macey graduated from the New Mexico School of Mines (as New Mexico Tech was known in its early years) in 1942, and also was awarded an honorary doctorate by Tech in 1984.

nintendolife.com: Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is out right now on Wii and Wii U. The game sees you painting your way through several Disney-esque levels with Mickey and his pal Oswald and is designed with two players in mind.
Another game that gets press solely because of the guy directing it....
I wish people would stop giving them attention, that way maybe they'd get the kick in the ass they need to start making decent games instead of relying on their previous games for recognition.
The first game was terrible, with broken controls and camera. The second game doesn't sound like its addressed many of the issues with the first game. So why a third game... Third time lucky?
Presumably if they just keep making sequels then eventually one of them wont suck. It's a shame really, because there were some nice ideas in the first one, but they were terribly executed.
Some developers never admit that their time has already passed.

What's on TV This Summer?
Soon, networks will make good on their promise for a 52-week programming cycle, and those of us who dread the outdoors (which are pretty, but don't come in HD) will finally have reason to stay in the air-conditioning without guilt. Until then, there's… this summer season. Like summers past, that means reality shows. Here's what's clogging up the tube while you should be outside playing:
So You Think You Can Dance
Everybody makes a big deal about Dancing with the Stars, but that show borders on farce. Those "amateur dancers" already have steady jobs — like multi-million-dollar football contracts — so even if they have two left feet, it's all good exposure for them. The amateur dancers on So You Think You Can Dance are actually fighting for their future careers, which makes them a little bit more, well, invested in what they do. (Sorry, Adam Corolla.) Their choreographers are better, too. (Fox, Wednesdays 8 p.m.)
Nashville Star
It's like American Idol if all the contestants were that girl who sang "God Bless the USA." Yet there's reason to believe that the winner of Nashville Star really will achieve success in the country music biz: host Billy Ray Cyrus. Perhaps you've heard of his daughter, Miley? (NBC, Mondays 9 p.m.)
The premise of this show is pretty silly — swingers in suburbia — and it's not likely that Swingtown will do for the '70s what Mad Men did for the '60s: make them look stylish and interesting. So why include it here? Because look! It's a new show with a script! (CBS, Thursdays 10 p.m.)
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sure, these are all reruns. But even on the second go-round, these action-packed (if logically wonky) episodes are probably more entertaining than all the reality shows, and with more Terminator movies in the works (starring Batman's Christian Bale), you'll need to brush up on your Skynet lore. (Fox, Mondays 8 p.m.)
That's the best I could do. There's always Netflix or — gasp! — summer reading.

Rocker Matt Bellamy and his actress fiancee Kate Hudson have shot down reports of a winter wedding, insisting they are in no rush to become husband and wife.
The Muse frontman proposed to Hudson last spring, just months before she gave birth to their son Bingham in July, and ever since the couple has been plagued by wedding rumors.
But Bellamy reveals the couple is taking its time committing to a big day – because he doesn't want to end up like his divorced parents.
He tells People magazine, "My parents separated when I was young (and) we're not traditionalists in that way, so we haven't planned anything in the near future."

BOSTON, Mass.-- Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Commerce, Mich.) had another shutout and A.J. White (Dearborn, Mich.) scored one goal and set up two others to lead second-seeded UMass Lowell to a 4-0 victory over fourth-seeded New Hampshire in the title game of the 30th annual Hockey East Championship Saturday night in front of 12,051 at TD Garden. The championship was the second-ever and second straight for the River Hawks (25-10-4) who posted two straight 4-0 decisions on the weekend.
A sophomore, Hellebuyck was a unanimous selection as the 2014 William Flynn Tournament Most Valuable Player becoming the first-ever in 30 tournaments to earn the award more than once. For the second straight season he recorded a shutout in the title game, another first, by stopping all 30 UNH shots.
Hellebuyck was joined on the All-Championship team by teammates White, Joe Pendenza (Wilmington, Mass.) who had three assists tonight and defenseman Christian Folin (Gothenberg, Sweden) as UMass Lowell becomes the seventh team to win back-to-back championships in league history.
The Wildcats (22-18-1) had the jump early out-shooting UML 10-4 at the start. New Hampshire came up empty on the game's first good scoring chance midway through the first when Dalton Speelman (San Jose, Calif) and Tyler Kelleher (Longmeadow, Mass.) broke in on together but failed to direct the puck on goal.
From there the River Hawks took over. Shortly after at 12:12, they got on the board first on a goal by flipped an innocent low shot from the right side that was stopped by UNH goalie Casey DeSmith (Rochester, N.H.). Before DeSmith could cover the puck at his feet, White poked the puck passed him. Just 3:20 later Josh Holmstrom (Colorado Springs, Colo.) made it 2-0 for UMass Lowell, finishing after a two-on-one by Pendenza and White. DeSmith made a sprawling save on Pendenza's shot before Holmstrom, the trailer on the play, rapped it home for his sixth of the season.
UMass Lowell took control of the contest with two more in the middle period, one early and one late. Joe Gambardella (Staten Island, N.Y.) converted a feed from Terrence Wallin (Yardley, Pa.) 3:13 into the stanza and Jake Suter (Lac du Flambeau, Wisc.) cashed in on the power play with 1:17 remaining. Pendenza controlled a faceoff to White, who dropped it back to Suter who blasted it in for a 4-0 advantage at the second intermission.
The River Hawks continued the attack to start the third before UNH earned a couple of breaks. Twenty-eight seconds in a goal by Holmstrom was overturned after a video review and at 3:36, Pendenza drew a penalty shot that was denied by DeSmith.
Then it was Hellebuyck's turn to hold the lead and keep UNH off the board denying two point blank bids midway through the third. He closed out the period with nine saves to earn the clean sheet, the first time a goalie and a team has recorded back-to-back shutouts in the tournament semifinal and final.
DeSmith finished with 26 saves before being replaced by Jeff Wyer (Reading, Mass), who had five stops in the last five minutes. UMass Lowell outshot UNH, 35-30, for the game. The River Hawks were 1-for-4 on the power play and killed two penalties of its own.
Joining the UML foursome on the all-tourney team were UNH forward Kevin Goumas (Long Beach, N.Y.) and Notre Dame defenseman Stephen Johns.
Notes: UMass Lowell earns an automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. The selection show is Sunday at noon and will be televised nationally on ESPNU and online at NCAA.com ... UML has made five trips to the NCAA Division I Tournament, including a Frozen Four appearance last year ... The River Hawks were making their fourth title game appearance and their third since 2009, while New Hampshire earned its eighth trip to the championship game and first since 2007 ... 2014 marked the first time in all 30 tournaments that the title game did not feature at least Boston College, Boston University, or Maine ... UMass Lowell swept all three meetings with New Hampshire this season by a combined score of 12-5, after UNH won all three meetings last season ... Saturday was just the second-ever title game matchup between a No. 2 seed and a No. 4 seed (2010) ... The Wildcats were just the seventh No. 4 seed to reach the title game ... Connor Hellebuyck has recorded three straight shutouts at TD Garden, posting back-to-back playoff shutouts for just the third time in league history. He has stopped 129 consecutive shots since his last goal against at TD Garden (first period of the 2013 semifinal vs. Providence), which is a span of 230:01 straight shutout minutes ... UML's top line of A.J. White, Joe Pendenza, and Josh Holmstrom combined for seven points and a plus-6 rating in the win. Pendenza skated in his 150th career game ... UNH senior Kevin Goumas, who was also an All-Tournament selection, led the tournament with seven points scoring five goals in the final three games ... The River Hawks finished the tournament 6-for-16 (38%) on the power play and have scored at least one power play goal in six straight games ... The Hockey East Tournament Champion has advanced to the Frozen Four 19 times in 26 trips, and 14 have reached the NCAA title game with six winning the National Championship

Hi Martin,ReplyDelete
That's the same I encountered a few months ago. I discussed it with Peter and Patrick from the APEX team and they will 'repair' it in the next version if I recall it right.
Good post,

Hi Marin,ReplyDelete
Thank you for the tips. But not sure about the button template. The problem I have is the page will not refresh after PL/SQL code via dynamic action. I post the question in apex forum. Please check the below.
Greatly appreciate with any suggestions/corrections.
Followed these steps but it doesn't work 100%.
The dynamic action I want is the confirm notification and it triggers fine when I press the button, but the problem is if I press 'cancel' it still submits the page...
is there another way to confirm a page submit? I did try and do it with the dynamic action but 'before page submit' as the when which worked fine...but on all the buttons and I need it on only one.
Hi Jeremy,ReplyDelete
This may be an unrelated issue that you're having with the cancel button. Can you please post an example on apex.oracle.com then email me login credentials so that I can take a look? My email address is in top right (under Links section).

Young Texans Against Cancer (YTAC) was established in 2001 by a group of forty-four young individuals in the Houston area. The forty-four Founding Members have something in common: Cancer. Some have personally battled cancer while others have witnessed loved ones struggling with illness. Inspired by these struggles, the Founding Members created YTAC to increase cancer awareness among the generation of 22-45 year olds. In January of 2007 another dedicated group of young people started our second chapter in Austin and have continued to spread the ideas and dedication that YTAC was founded on. In January 2008, our third chapter was formed in Dallas, helping grow our statewide effort to bring awareness and an outlet for changes across Texas. In January of 2009, a YTAC chapter was founded in San Antonio, bringing YTAC to the 4 largest cities in Texas

My Grandfather in Auschwitz
Dora Holzhandler was born in Paris on 22nd March 1928, into a family of Polish-Jewish refugees. Just a few months later she was sent to a Catholic foster family in Normandy, as a result of the collapse of her father's business. She was reunited with her family at the age of five, and the following year they moved to London.
Holzhandler went back to Paris in 1946; she studied French literature at the Sorbonne and art at La Grande Chaumière. Holzhandler returned to London in 1948 and attended the Anglo-French Art Centre. It was here that she fell in love with, and in 1950 married, George Swinford. They had three daughters together, Amalie (b. 1951), Hepzibah (b. 1956) and Hermione (b. 1966).
In her later life Holzhandler travelled widely, to India (1980), Thailand (1980), New York (1986), Israel (1987) and Finland (1993/4). Although Holzhandler's art can be described as having a naive style – they are childlike in execution – they often include complex and sophisticated narratives.
Her style is distinctly recognisable, and focuses on themes such as self-portraits, mother and child, religious and Jewish imagery, lovers and landscapes. She considers herself both Jewish and Buddhist, and these religions largely influence and shape her work and style. She has exhibited her work in London, Bath, Paris and New York. Her work is in public collections in London (Museum of London, Ben Uri), Brighton (Brighton Art Gallery and Museum), Glasgow (The Gallery of Modern Art) and Haifa, Israel (The Museum of Art).

Thomas of GeneaBloggers has just invited us to the latest 52 Weeks To Better Genealogy Challenge – the inspiration for these Challenges coming from Amy Coffin of the We Tree blog. Our Challenge this week is to Practice reading handwriting because as Thomas explains, "Deciphering the penmanship of our ancestors is an exercise in patience, but this is a great skill to have in your genealogy tool box".
Well, as far as I'm concerned this Challenge couldn't have come at a better time! Last week I finally received all the Wills I had ordered from the Buckinghamshire Record Office and one has stumped me completely!
I know from having many other Wills it is not always easy to make out what has been written with the lovely flowy writing they used in the past centuries and with their spelling of the English words etc., but if I have difficulty reading them, I can usually at least make out names and places. But, there is this one Will I have now received and all I know is it is the Will of Jone Reade (I think she may be a Widow) of Long Crendon (I think) in Buckinghamshire dated 1545.
I've looked and looked at the Will, looked at it with a terrific magnifying sheet my partner Paul bought for me to help with all my Wills. I've scanned it and looked at it on the computer and zoomed in no end of times, but I just can't make the words out at all. I can't really make out names or places. I think I found the word "bequeath" but I'm not entirely sure as I can't make out the other words either side of it!! So, with this one Will I am completely bamboozled.
This hasn't happened before so I am delighted to accept Challenge #29 and am hoping that at least by the end of the coming week, I might have been able to look at olde worlde handwriting sites on the internet that just might help me with at least deciphering some of Jone Reade's Will.
Have a look at the Will and if anyone can make any of it out I would love to know!!! 😉
I think it actually starts with "In the name of God amen" but I am not completely sure as to me with my eyes it might only be what I think it says!! I'm trying to focus on some particular letters so that it might help pick them up elsewhere in the Will to help decipher the words. Now I've added it here I can see the words "… beinge fit in bodye …" and I know from other Wills they usually go on to say something like "and of sound mind and memory" or words to that effect, but of course I don't want to just surmise that has been also included in the Will, so I know I must really try to focus on what has actually been written here.
I am looking forward to this new Challenge so much and if it helps me with this Will, then any others that I've had just a little trouble deciphering will be a doddle!!
I'll let you know Friday how I get on!! 😉

Via this column, we'll explore one grammar rule each week. If you have a grammar question you'd like me to address, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll do my best to answer it.
This week, Sherlock Holmes and I will use step-by-step logic and deductive reasoning to get to the bottom of the infernal case of the semicolon. Grammar is afoot!
If a comma represents a brief pause, and a period represents a complete stop, then semicolons represent a moderate pause.
Semicolons are used in two main environments:
1. Semicolons can act as "super commas," which are used to separate units of a list when one or more of the units contain commas:
- Holmes found three clues: footprints, which were outside the door; a pistol, which was still loaded; and papers, which smelled of cyanide.
- The murderer visited three cities: Liverpool, England; Paisley, Scotland; and Lusaka, Zambia.
2. Semicolons can also be used to connect clauses:
Use a semicolon in place of a period to connect or form a bond between two statements (typically related or contrasting thoughts) where the conjunction has been left out:
- Professor Moriarty is a criminal mastermind; he is the "Napoleon of Crime."
- Watson received his medical degree in 1878; he is a surgeon.
Use a semicolon before transitional phrases or conjunctive adverbs that connect two clauses (like however, therefore, that is, namely, of course, for example, thus):
- The copper-haired girl was hired as a governess; however, she was unknowingly posing as her employer's daughter.
- One sister died with a shout of "It was the speckled band"; of course, Holmes knew she was referring to a swamp adder.
But don't use semicolons before simple conjunctions (words like but, and, or, nor, for, so, yet):
- Watson led from behind, but never gets the credit he deserves.
- Holmes had a brother named Mycroft and he was more brilliant than Holmes himself.
Optional: You may use a semicolon between two clauses when one has internal punctuation, or in other words, if one or more commas appear in the first or second clause:
- If Holmes can, he will give up cocaine; and if Watson can see it through, they will solve mysteries again.
- When Arthur Conan Doyle started writing the Sherlock Holmes short stories, he created the field of criminology; however, at the time, he never thought he was changing the world.
Semicolons are *always* placed outside of quotation marks. But check out Dear Gracie: Commas/Periods Inside or Outside of Quotation Marks? on the rules for periods and commas.

An Encounter with 4/5 of The Wanted
Photos by G.
The Wanted (sans Nathan Sykes who is recovering from vocal surgery) are in New York to promote their new reality TV show "The Wanted Life." Yes, they were surrounded by screaming girls and a few gays, but the Wanted were extremely cool and did their best to accommodate autograph hounds and "photos with" seekers.
Whether or not you like their music, there is one thing you cannot deny, these dudes are frickin' gorge!
Thanks so much guys and good luck with the new show!

Xbox One's dashboard leaks online in video
A video showing parts of the Xbox One's dashboard running has surfaced on Youtube courtesy of user Jackson Carter. Catch the video after the jump before it's taken down.
The video shows the fairly seamless transition between Crytek's Ryse: Son of Rome running in "fullscreen" mode and then picture in picture within the UI, which very much resembles the Metro UI of Windows 8 recoloured to match the Xbox's green.
According to Carter, the boot time on both the console and Ryse are quite quick in this beta version of the Xbox One.
Thanks, NeoGAF.

The southern constellation Hydra is home to an unusual deep-sky object. Located 326 million light-years away, it was first cataloged in the 1960s as a peculiar galaxy. In this Hubble Space Telescope view, the celestial wonder looks more like a hummingbird next to an egg. In reality, it is a pair of galaxies that are colliding with each other. The blue galaxy once had a pinwheel shape, like that of our Milky Way. But the gravitational pull of a nearby companion galaxy has stretched it like a piece of taffy. Collisions like this were common in the early universe.

FOREST Green boss David Hockaday has returned to his former club to sign Watford central defender Dale Bennett on a two-and-half deal, this afternoon.
The 23-year-old will fill the squad position vacated by Chris Todd, who moved to Eastleigh earlier in the transfer window.
Rovers' link with Watford has previously brought Al Bangura, Eddie Oshodi, Keiron Forbes, and Jamie Collins to the New Lawn.
Bennett has been in the senior squad at Vicarage Road since 2008 after coming through the Hornets renowned academy.
Bennett has played a total of 25 times for Watford, including 22 appearances in the Championship, but has fallen out of favour in the past 18 months – going out on loan to League One sides Yeovil, Brentford and League Two outfit AFC Wimbledon.
As an 18-year-old, Bennett was also loaned to Kettering Town during the 2008/09 season, playing for the then Conference National side 23 times, including the Poppies 2-0 win against Forest Green at The New Lawn.

The honors just keep pouring in for Hays USD 489's Early Childhood Connections. At a time when both state and federal lawmakers likely need reminders of how important Head Start and Early Head Start are in communities, it is particularly gratifying to boast of the award-winning educators involved.
Last fall, Early Childhood Connections Director Donna Hudson-Hamilton was named National Head Start Administrator of the Year for 2013. This year, ECC Head Start teacher Becky Greer has been named the 2014 National Head Start Teacher of the Year.
Greer, who is stationed at Lincoln Elementary School, was "totally shocked" at last week's announcement. She was quick to point out that "other teachers and other Head Start staff deserved the credit as well."
A school district news release said Greer received the award because she best exemplified the qualities needed to provide exceptional early education to Head Start children.
She believes the award committee must have been swayed by her story, which she related in the application paperwork. At the tender age of 7, Greer's father passed away. Her mother, an educator herself, personified strength and accomplishment by working and raising young Becky and her siblings.
"She was a very good example," Greer said.
Greer also enjoyed the support of her small Oklahoma town.
"I grew up in a time when a lot of good people in the community helped raise kids," she said. "There was no Head Start in the 1960s. If there had been, I would have been in it."
As it turned out, she did fine without it. But she also recognized there were plenty of young kids in need of extra attention.
Inspired to follow her mother's footsteps, Greer began her education career in Wichita at a private preschool for children with disabilities. She armed herself with certifications in early childhood, grades K-9, and early childhood special education. She has been a Head Start teacher in Hays since the early 1990s, first at then Felten Middle School and now at Lincoln.
"I believe this was my calling," Greer said.
The calling is noble. Head Start programs target at-risk children prior to kindergarten to get them school-ready and enhance their cognitive, social and emotional development. Greer said the program also is health-based with attention paid to nutrition, immunizations and family engagement in the home. The Early Childhood Connections programs also work with parents.
"It's a comprehensive program," she said. "We look at things differently."
USD 489 is better off because of such programs. And ECC is better off because of teachers such as Becky Greer.
Director Hudson-Hamilton said: "(Greer) is so deserving. She is a true mentor to so many others."
We salute Becky Greer and the entire Early Childhood Connections staff for their positive contributions.

There are so many internet schemes out there it's hard to keep up. But this alleged eBay scam caught my eye last week, if only because it involved the federal court here in Charlotte, and a routine type eBay crime that could snare any unsuspecting buyer.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte last week filed charges against a Barry Alan Younce in connection with what prosecutors described as a fraudulent scheme to sell computers on eBay. They say between March 2005 and September 2006, Younce used the user name of "sq20" to post ads on eBay saying he had computers for sale. The bill of information prosecutors filed says "he in fact had no intention of providing the merchandise to the potential buyer."
Authorities say on about 252 occasions, he obtained payment by wire transfer or otherwise, but didn't send the equipment. They say Younce engineered one of the transfers at least in part from Caldwell County. Overall, prosecutors say victims lost more than $207,000, some of which Younce refunded, and some of it he kept.
I know many folks use eBay often and love it. But I've always hesitated to buy things there, precisely because of possible situations like this one. I asked the eBay folks for comment, and a spokeswoman sent an e-mail saying:
"eBay has a zero tolerance for criminal activity and we work closely with law enforcement to prosecute anyone who attempts to abuse our services. We are fully committed to creating a safe, fair and enjoyable trading experience for all eBay users while aggressively protecting our users from harm."
She also said people should check out eBay's tips for buying safely through the site.
Caveat emptor, people.

Pay with Pay Pal using a credit card, and you will get your money refunded for fraudulent transactions.
- May 3, 2011 at 11:58 AM

Paypal doesn't guarantee you'll get a refund. All the seller has to do is provide you (and paypal when the appeal by the buyer is underway) a tracking number. The box could be filled with nothing or even a rock. They can then prove you was shipped a package & paypal does NOT have to refund you a dime. Trust me, it has happened before unfortunately. Your best bet is to check the seller's reputation before bidding. If a small number or no transactions, or even several negative feedbacks, think twice before ordering.

I prefer Craigslist because I can inspect the item(s) before purchase. The unmentioned risk with ebay is that buyers and sellers can have honest differences of opinion as to an item's condition. But I do purchase through ebay by using Paypal and examining the seller's rating, and I've not had a problem to date.

I have been burnt using PayPal for a ~$70 item, and PayPal refunded about 1/2 of my purchase...and I used a CC in that transaction.
Definitely check seller feedback and only buy from reputable sellers.

You just have be really careful when buying stuff on eBay. I like to ask my Twitter followers to recommend sellers they have worked with. The one great thing about Twitter is that when it comes to advice there are always an abundant amount of ppl waiting to help. Also, shopping from online outlets with national brands are best. If you're in the market for a computer it's safer and probably cheaper to get one from the Dell outlet on eBay than risking it with a total stranger.

True, Pay Pal won't refund the full amount of a fraudulent transaction but most credit cards have free fraud protection. I used this feature several years ago to recover the part that Pay Pal didn't cover.

NEWVER USE PAYPAL, Always use a CREDIT CARD. PAYPAL has a HORRIBLE non-existent resolution center. When I've been screwed on eBay they do nothing. I thank the individuals at my credit cards for providing assistance. PAYPAL HAS NO BUYERS OR SELLERS SUPPORT!

Anonymous @ 8:29PM is right. PayPal is a horrible joke! Don't believe me? Go to the PayPal website and try to find a number for customer service. It doesn't exist!
PayPal was fined a few years ago for not publishing their customer service number (among other things) and was supposedly forced by the courts to make the number public, but it still hasn't happened! What's worse? You can Google their number, and there are many sites that will list the numbers for you or not only their toll free customer service line, but also the numbers of VP's and higher ups, but if you call any of them, you don't ever get an answer. The customer service number will actually hang up on you after about 2 minutes!!! Trust me, I've been trying to resolve an issue with PayPal for months now and have decided I will just give up and stop using them.

Hi Kevin,
I am interested in playing tennis. I can play during the weekdays on most Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I can also play on Saturday and Sunday. Other than my home court, I normally play at two public tennis courts (Miller Drive Park and Blue Lakes Park).
Where (the above tennis courts or your courts in your community) and when can you play? Text me at 786-306-5282 to set something up.Vee
Hi Kevin,
If you're still looking to hit with someone in the area, I am in Three Lakes just a couple blocks from the Miami Zoo. It would be a nice change not to have to drive for 30+ minutes to play. Let me know if you're interested in a hit.
I am 28 and looking for a partner to hit with on a daily basis in the sweetwater/fiu south area. I can play mon-fri at 9am.I am prob a 2.5-3.0, but once I hit for a week or so I'll def be up to 3.5-4.0. whoever is down hit me up at email@example.com
Hey, I'm a 4.0 looking for some hits. If you're interested e-mail me @
email@example.com or call or text me at 77-766-4695. Also, I tried sending an e-mail to the address you gave and it said there was a fatal error and it couldn't be delivered, which is why I'm posting here instead of e-mailing you.
