WHY are all the formerly great gay publications so obsessed with Bruce Jenner? There are dozens of other issues to tackle--the vile things that are happening to gays in Syria, the bullying that takes place in our schools and on the streets. Beautiful people like Matthew Shepard getting murdered, troubed souls like Justin Fashanu taking their own lives. Why waste so much space on this man--in my opinion a rich man who has cottoned on to a novel way of making even money, and upon whose every word and gesture fools heed like he is some kind of Messiah? And of course, to criticise him in the slightest at once brings out the transphobia cards.
There are many supreme examples of transgender in the world, ones we can admire. But not this one. How would Bruce Jenner cope with living on a Brixton Housing Estate, or travelling to work each day on the Tube and braving the insults? He is not an inspiration to other transgenders.
The likes of "Pink News" and "Attitude" need to be dealing with REAL issues, and leave this man and his army of feet-kissing sycophants to their own devices!

Phone / Bluetooth Installation in Boston Area
No mobile phone in today's times is seen without a Bluetooth application; some phones need to have it activated though. People often confuse themselves with the Bluetooth software and the Bluetooth device. The device is worn as a earpiece with an extension that stretches out to the mouth so that the instrument can facilitate hands-free listening and speaking technology for mobile phone users who have their hands busy driving or tending to the baby or cooking or cleaning.
This is a relief for most users and allows to them multi-task their lives. It is, however, pain for a few of you oldies who have hearing problems with loud noises or just refuse to drop their rigidity in relation to learning new technologies. The Bluetooth software acts as your GPS navigation system while driving or locating a particular destination or person; also, it acts as a transfer medium for digital audio as well as video files or other auxiliary files within the range of a few yards. Please do log on to our website!
These Phone / Bluetooth options are available:
Equip your car with an in-car Bluetooth pairing system which would allow you to pick up calls and dial the required number of your choice as well as receive your business schedule updates via CarStarter Installation's authentic devices.
Hands free dialing
Unless you are an octopus, driving your car in the rush hours while guiding your maid to wipe out the garage bumper at the same time is a juggling act! CarStarter Installation gives you a gander at its hands-free dialling techniques!
iPod & iPhone integration
Youngsters of today would be incapacitated without an I-Pod in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. CarStarter Installation presents its classic range of I-Pods and I-phones which add to the 'kewl' quotient!
Mobile Communication
Getting you the most effective mobile communication lines is something that CarStarter Installation promises to deliver; you will hear the person you called in a crystal clear voice tone, no matter how much the distance!
MOST System integration for European cars
CarStarter Installation equips your car with the best form of Bluetooth technology - MOST - which would allow you to operate from the software as well as the earpiece device and establish new standards in telecommunication.
Music is the source of inspiration for some; some find it as a mode of relaxation; some tend to vent their pent-up, unexpressed feelings with the help of music. CarStarter Installation has a variety of music applications for phone which it enjoys, too!
Mobile phone applications that support streaming video features from the internet as well as loading and playing video files in digital format on your cell phone are available at CarStarter Installation!

|The Third Culture
by David Bunnell
A long, long time ago, way back in 1973, the world was slow and dreary and mostly analog. There was no Federal Express, no e-mail and no venture-capitalist empire on Sand Hill Road. Where there are now chip-fabrication plants and pure business-to-business Internet plays, peach and cherry orchards abounded. Steve Jobs was barefoot in India, and Marc Andreessen was just learning to crawl. Some businesses had fax machines, but the faxes were printed out on expensive, smelly paper that smeared the ink. No one knew what a spreadsheet was. There were no pagers, no cell phones, no laptop computers. People actually wrote letters and even books on IBM Selectric typewriters.
Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce had founded Intel, but no one had heard or cared about it: Chips were just not yet all that glamorous. William Shockley had quit making microprocessors and was preaching genetics at Stanford University. Electronic calculators were the newest thing, if you could afford one, but most engineering students still had slide rules hanging from their belts. Down in Atlanta, Ted Turner was hawking billboard advertising. Most people still had black-and-white TV sets that got four channels: ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. And everyone, it seemed, was watching the Watergate hearings.
Me? I was an ambitious 24-year-old looking for a way to get out of Albuquerque. And although I didn't know it yet, I had just landed the most important job of my life: as a technical writer at a "micro-electronics" company on the East Mesa called MITS. I didn't know much about electronics, but the very word sounded like something that could be really big. So I was very excited about this job because for the first time I could make a living by doing what I liked best: writing.
Welcome to MITS
I found the job listed in the Albuquerque Tribune and somehow bullshitted my way past two rounds of interviews--one with the "head" technical writer, a nice but much-too-serious woman named Belinda Wilson; the other a brilliant but painfully shy vice president of engineering named Bill Yates (no connection to you know who). It was obvious that Yates would rather have been poring over a schematic diagram, doing the real work of this world, but he seemed somewhat resigned to the bureaucratic functions of his job.
Note: This story is from a fictional autobiography that David Bunnell is writing. Bunnell was actually in Albuquerque working for MITS at the time the Altair was introduced, and he did work with Paul Allen and Bill Gates. Much of this autobiography is true, and much of it is serious embellishment.

I'm sorry but the S3 is complete trash I got it as a gift for Black Friday and as soon as I finish setup I am bombarded by bloatware. Furthermore, I realize that if I look close enough I can see pixels everywhere and the color blue is prominent, even with a white background.
So I go outside to get a breather and to top it all off I CAN'T SEE removed...the screen outside is basically a mirror.
So I came back home and chucked this deficient scrap of a phone out my window.

Lusardi Arrested After Allegedly Flushing Fake Chips Down the Toilet
The way the police latched on to Lusardi will go down in poker mythology. As a prop bet it would have been funny, but as a means of destroying evidence, it was hilarious.
While staying in his hotel room at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City, it is alleged that Lusardi attempted to flush $2.7m in fake tournament chips down the toilet. The daring scheme came unstuck when the chips wouldn't flush, and created a blockage in the sewage pipes.
Other hotel clients complained of overflows and a maintenance man discovered that the blockage consisted of tournament chips. He traced the blockage to the room Lusardi had occupied, and once the chips had been identified, the police quickly tracked Lusardi down to a motel where they arrested him.
The Borgata's senior vice president, Joe Lupo, said: "Borgata will continue to work with the DGE and the State Police until this matter is concluded and a final order is issued by the DGE concerning the resolution of Event I."
The difficulty of continuing the tournament is going to be a tough nut to crack. The impact of the addition of the fake chips will have rippled through the event, changing stack sizes, strategies, and even the make up of the final player pool.
At the start of day 2, Lusardi was chip leader – and if the allegations are true, then a chunk of that lead could have been made up of fake chips. He then bust, in the money, making $6.8k in prize money. What will the organizers do about the people Lusardi bust and what about the players who beat Lusardi out of his fake stack?
Over a third of the prize money has already been paid out, so starting from scratch doesn't seem possible. Calculating the impact of the addition of the chips mathematically could be done in online poker where all hands are recorded, but in a live event that's impossible. The regulators and organizers will have to do some head scratching to sort out an equitable solution – if it's not handled well it has the potential to be a public relations catastrophe for the Borgata.

Fish and fish oils responsible for 60%
A toxic (POP) study carried in 2002 out for the European Commission with the aim of taking action to prevent humans being polluted by dioxin and PCBs came to the following conclusions:
1. PCBs or their toxic equivalent (TEQ) are very harmful for human beings, even in very small quantities. Even a millionth and billionth of a gram!!!
2.The world heath organisation recommends maximum 1 to 4 picograms of dioxin per kilo of body weight per day as a safe toxic limit. Europe advises maximum 1 picogram dioxin per kilo of body weight per day.
3. The simplest way to counter the pollution by PCBs or their toxic equivalent in our body is to be careful of what we eat as 90 of these substances are absorbed by the human body through food.
4. Fish, fish products and fish oils are responsible for more than 60% of the PCB or their toxic equivalent (TEQ) eaten by Europeans. Even though fish and fish products account for just 2.5% of total food consumed and for just 1% of the total fat consumed by average Europeans. Meat, meat products and dairy food account for 30% of human intake of dioxins and their toxic equivalent.

After last week's anonymous email from disgruntled employees to management leaked, Africell Uganda has taken a big decision to lay off 59 key former Orange staff in what the company described as a move to save the company from collapsing. This comes four months after officially taking over Orange Uganda. According to the company' chief operating officer chief operating officer, Mr Mohammad Ghaddar (image above) the decision was a group decision and the reasons for their dismissal was not tied to the individual's performances but rather the firm was reducing its head-count to cut operating costs.
Last Friday, the company issued termination letters to 59 members of staff in a move the company said would allocate "proper resources into improving operational activities."
The company has let go of all its entire sales department, Ugandan heads of departments, key Managerial positions and other other senior positions some to be filled in by 'expert' Lebanese. The interesting bit is that the company has been on a massive hiring spree of late leading for some to question reasons why the 59 were dismissed.
Our sources at Africell told Techjaja, that Mr Mohammad Ghaddar in a briefing to staff last Friday afternoon, told them that they had identified areas of potential growth for the company. He also assured the remaining Ugandan employees that there would be no more layoffs and should look at Africell as their home.
The company has had some tough times ever since it took over from Orange, not only with staff but also main stream media who have on occasion refused to run Africell commercials due to several issues.
According to the staff that we talked to, told Techjaja that Last Friday morning, some of the staff reported to work like any other normal operating day, only to be denied access to the office to go to Kabira Country Club, where their fate was announced to them. The laid-off staff we talked to had pertains, especially about terminal benefits. Some claim that the package they were given was only for one month yet notice was never issued as per their employment contracts.
The two parties will meet to negotiate further on the issue of terminal benefits and any other outstanding grievances.

When Savannah community leader and preservationist W.W. Law died in 2002, he left a house full of historical documents and memorabilia.
Since then, efforts to catalogue and preserve the collection have hit a snag.
This weekend, Law's home at 710 W. Victory Drive will be open for an estate sale to raise at least $7,000 to pay for an independent audit required to get $200,000 in Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax money.
"This was a very hard decision to make for me," said Remer Pendergraph, Law's longtime friend and administrator of his estate.
"It was common sense to me that I can't keep it all."
Pendergraph also is chairman of the W.W. Law Foundation and its efforts to archive more than 100,000 pieces of Law's collection.
Most of the mounds of documents, newspapers, records, books, art and furniture have been removed for archiving at the former home of Frank's Uniforms on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
What remains - furniture, all of Law's personal items and clothing - will be displayed for sale or silent auction, Pendergraph said.
He said the estate sale is necessary to avoid the foundation depleting its operating account to cover the audit costs.
Law's estate had no cash component, Pendergraph said.
Half of Law's life insurance was used for his burial and the rest for a surviving sibling, Tessie Law Sanders, who died last month, Pendergraph said.
Law, a civil rights leader and president of the Savannah Branch NAACP for 25 years, died at his home July 29, 2002.
He was buried in the family plot at Laurel Grove South Cemetery.
He was 79.
"We're just blown away by the significance of Mr. Law's collection," said Velma McKenzie-Orr, former executive director of the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum who has been active in preserving Law's legacy.
SPLOST funding requires an annual independent audit as well as a Chatham County audit, Pendergraph said.
The Savannah accounting firm of Holland Henry & Brumley LLP will conduct the audit, he said.
The foundation's work has slowed to a halt, including the loss of trained technicians to archive Law's materials, Pendergraph said.
The foundation also must raise $6 million for construction of the W.W. Law Research and Preservation Center at the Battlefield Memorial Park.
Pendergraph said he hopes to have archiving completed by the end of 2009.
That work continues in space leased by the foundation with support of Savannah City Council.
"Mr. Law left his legacy to benefit the community," McKenzie-Orr said. "Now, we just need the help of community members that understand the value of this gift."

Prompt 500:
Please Let Me Get What I Want, I'm Begging You
"Please let me get what I want, I'm begging you."
No doubt this is what nurses and doctors witness every day—frantic, desperate people, with their plea bargains and threats, people who want nothing more than to spend eternity with those behind the doors of this facility. But this guy could never understand, never know what it feels like to love someone and have to let go, because if he did he'd relent.
"Fine." The man in navy scrubs says as he removes his gloves. His voice is weary, his eyes are bloodshot.
I take a step forward, relieved he's finally softened, that he realizes how important this time is, even though visiting hours ended at 8:30 and it's 8:36. But as I attempt to go around him, he stops me and suggest I sit. I don't want to sit. He needs me. Paul needs me.
A wail erupts from someone's throat. The sound echoes down the hall as a hand squeezes my shoulder, or possibly my chest. So many hands—on me, on Paul. Pushing and pushing.
A grief counselor? Is that who the guy in the navy scrubs said he was sending? Have I really been here that long, in this lobby?
"How are you feeling?"
I've never understood that question, never understood time for that matter. Like, how we think we have forever when we barely have today. Or how it feels as though my heart has broken in two.
This super short story came from prompt #500 in the book, Lost the Plot? 500 Writing Prompts and How to Use Them, by Adam Maxwell.

1912 Ten Dollar Indian, PR66
1912 $10 PR66 PCGS. CAC. Though the proof Saint-Gaudens
eagle series is a brief one -- just eight issues from 1908 to 1915
in the main series, plus a handful of extreme rarities -- it has a
plainly visible history of Mint tinkering and experimentation. The
idea of matte proofs did not originate in the United States but
Europe, where it became a popular choice for medals among artists
who preferred to keep the focus on the design rather than the shine
of reflectivity, and the Mint made several adjustments to try to
balance technical concerns with customers' demands.
Fine Sandblast Finish
The first official issue of 1908 is described by Garrett and Guth as "a very complex year, with possibly three Proof finishes used for coinage." They cite a "dark matte" finish as the most common, the others falling into the extreme rarities category above. In 1909 and 1910, satin-bright "Roman Gold" variants prevailed as the Mint tried to win back collectors who complained about the dark and dull appearance of the 1908 coins. The 1911 matte proofs are split between 1908's dark matte and a fine sandblast finish that carried through to 1912 and 1913. The last two years brought a coarser grain to the sandblast effect, concluding a widely variable series of finishes and approaches.
This 1912 fine-finish proof eagle has deep orange-gold color and a dusky, faintly luminous aura. Both sides are pleasingly preserved and generally undisturbed. A small coppery area at the obverse rim between 7 and 8 o'clock may serve as a future pedigree marker. One of just 83 specimens minted. Population: 4 in 66, 4 finer (8/13).

BEAVERTON, Ore. – A woman was arrested after she stole a $15,000 wedding ring, credit cards and other valuables from another woman on Thursday in Beaverton.
The victim was swimming at a Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District facility when the suspect, later identified as 38-year-old Nikole Corrine Campbell, stole the woman's wedding ring and car keys from her bag, according to Beaverton police.
The suspect then entered the woman's car, taking her purse, credit/debit cards, $3,000 worth of Nike shoes, tax paperwork and other personal items, police said.
After stealing the items, police say Campbell bought gift cards from a Fred Meyer and withdrew more than $1,000 from two different ATM machines using the victim's debit cards.
With the help of Fred Meyer and a credit card company, police were able to track one of the gift cards to an Extended Stay America at 19311 NW Cornell Rd.
Officers arrived at the hotel on Friday and took Campbell into custody. She was lodged at the Washington County Jail on charges of aggravated theft and identity theft.
Police recovered the woman's wedding ring, credit cards, tax paperwork, some her Nike shoes, more than $700 cash, and more than $700 in gift cards.
Police said property found in Campbell's possessions implicate her in the theft of multiple other cases.

text: I joined TPF in May 2006 and just started posting recently. I've been collecting Hermes scarves and handbags, and find myself reaching for the same ones over and over and letting the rest languish. Inspired by the "Taking it Slow" thread, I thought I'd do some serious editing and whittle down my collection to what I actually wear. I've got a couple of SO's in the pipeline, and it remains to be seen if I'll still want them when they arrive. I have no idea how French women manage with just ONE black bag or ONE Hermes scarf. Frankly, having THREE Hermes black bags and ONE Hermes gold bag and letting go of the rest, sounds pretty courageous to me. I can't think about parting with any Hermes scarves until I deal with the handbags. Anyone else have the urge to do some Hermes Spring cleaning?

Acupuncture Effective for Allergic Rhinitis
As an acupuncturist in Chicago with all the season changes. I often treat people for allergies and other sinus problems, with great success. So I was happy to read about the following study.
The American Journal of Epidemiology recently published a study that showed acupuncture can significantly relieve allergic rhinitis symptoms.
By: Diane Joswick, L.Ac., MSOM
In this German study, 5,237 men and women were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in addition to routine care in patients with allergic rhinitis compared with treatment with routine care alone. In this randomized controlled trial, patients with allergic rhinitis were randomly allocated to receive up to 15 acupuncture sessions during a period of 3 months or to a control group receiving no acupuncture. Patients who did not consent to random assignment received acupuncture treatment.
All patients were allowed to receive usual medical care. The Rhinitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) and general health-related quality of life (36-Item Short-Form Health Survey) were evaluated at baseline and after 3 and 6 months. Improvements were noted at the 3 month and the 6 month evaluation. The authors of this trial concluded that treating patients with allergic rhinitis in routine care with additional acupuncture leads to clinically relevant and persistent benefits.

The most common and primary cause of allergic rhinitis is allergy to pollen. Pollen is a fine, powder-like substance produced by seed plants' anthers. Allergic rhinitis may be similar to allergic reaction exhibited by a number of people with allergies on animal's dander, mold and dust

So, here I am in Paris…
Yes, you read it right, I'm in Paris, France; The city of lights, romance, fashion and whatever else they came up with…
But wait a second, the last time I wrote I was mumbling about how the world has more billionaires now and us getting peanuts, now all of a sudden, I'm in Paris??! How did that happen?
Well, let me do a quick rewind then fast forward through the weekend.
Saturday was my birthday, yeah no big post about that this year, phone line is screwed at home, so no connection, so of course no post, plus I'm not sure I'd have posted about it anyway, I mean enough about that already. So, birthday; small gathering at our place with Eman's parents and mine; gifts were mostly clothes.
Note to self: This is certainly a good solution to get rid of shopping, I have to either have more birthdays or more people at my birthdays.
Sunday: I woke up early, well relatively early for a weekend, got myself ready and headed to the airport in time for my flight to Paris.
I had a bad experience at the airport that I'd rather not get into now, but I made it to Paris in the end, where I'll be spending two weeks training for my new job. So no, it's no tourism travel, but I'll be trying to wander around a bit and take some photos after work and on weekends.
I haven't been to Paris for such a long time; last time I was like 10 years old or something, so yeah very long time.
This time I'm all alone, staying in a small studio the company rented in Barb

Everywhere, it is the same.
Tens of thousands of Malaysians [Muslims], most from the majority Malay community, marched through the capital on Wednesday in a show of support for the scandal-plagued government, stoking fear of ethnic tension [media code for Muslims agitating] in the diverse Southeast Asian country.
Riot police used water cannons to disperse thousands of red-shirted protesters trying to break through barricades at Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown neighborhood, shouting slogans denouncing ethnic Chinese community and opposition party leaders.
Prepare for violence. It's always the same.
I am racist and my racism based on Islam, says Umno's Annuar Musa, By Sheridan Musa, The Malaysia Insider, 16 September 2015, (thanks to Religion of Peace):
"I am racist," said Umno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa, when trying to justify the racial overtones of today's "red shirt" rally in Kuala Lumpur.
However, he stressed that his "racism was based on Islam".
Umno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa
Anuar, who was the last speaker at today's "Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu", said racism was allowed in Islam, except when it involved oppressing others.
Absurd. Racism is oppression.
The Malay community in Malaysia was the most tolerant ethnic group in the world, Anuar said, adding that in Indonesia, ethnic Chinese Indonesians were not even allowed to use Chinese names.
"I am racist but it's racism based on Islam. Racism is allowed in Islam," Annuar told reporters at the end of the rally at Padang Merbok, which he claimed attracted 250,000 people.
Annuar then quoted a hadith (a saying of the Prophet) on assobiyah (Arabic term for pride in one's tribe) which he interpreted as justifying racism.

The inevitable rebuilding years can be arduous in many keeper leagues, but executed properly, a year or two near the bottom of the standings can yield a keeper list that stakes a contender's claim for many seasons. For tips on the process, see my article on rebuilding strategy. In this space, we identify some of the prime targets for rebuilding teams in NL-only leagues.
The NL All-Rebuilding Team below won't contain the obvious names. Even keeper league newbies already know to pursue high-upside hitters like Matt Kemp and Jay Bruce, along with talented young starters like Ian Snell and closers-in-waiting like Jonathan Broxton. Successful rebuilding usually involves looking deeper than the mere union of youth and talent. This list is therefore not for the shallowest of leagues, but is rather a catalog of NL-only targets who could be purchased for $10 or less in many auctions.
Catcher: Chris Snyder/Miguel Montero, Arizona Diamondbacks
Montero's broken finger means that the more experienced Snyder has a firmer grip on the starting role. Snyder might hold it, as his contact rate and power are trending decidedly upward. Indeed, while Snyder hasn't broken through yet, he has the mark of a legitimate major league starter. Montero, however, has even greater potential. His minor league power was almost the equal of Snyder's, and he showed better contact ability. Twenty-homer power lurks within both players, and both are solid bets for future dividends.
First Base: Nick Johnson, Washington Nationals
Johnson is a prototypical injury pick for rebuilders. Like Mark Prior, his skills are not in dispute, but he can't seem to stay healthy. Hitters are far more likely to regain all of their pre-injury skills than pitchers, however, so it's a solid bet that Johnson will produce whenever he's in the lineup. Dmitri Young's presence ensures that Johnson will be a draft-day bargain for those who won't need his services until 2009 or 2010.
Second Base: Chris Burke, Arizona Diamondbacks
Burke failed in his first real shot at a starting job, but he's only 27 and has the offensive skills to earn another opportunity. He also has the speed to possibly remain keeper-worthy even if he's still in a utility role by the time your rebuilding is complete.
Shortstop: Felipe Lopez, Washington Nationals
Lopez regressed on the surface last year, but his skills were mostly constant. With Cristian Guzman and Ronnie Belliard around to cloud his playing time, Lopez could be one to avoid in 2008 for many owners. Those needing him in 2009 or 2010, however, will buy low, remembering that he's only 27 and is basically the same player who stole 44 bases in 2006.
Third base: Chad Tracy, Arizona Diamondbacks
Another player who will come at a discount due to competition for playing time, Tracy has the added benefit of an injury discount. Still recovering from knee surgery and unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, Tracy is only 27 and has significant power and batting average potential. Rebuilders can afford to wait until he regains his form. Buy low.
Outfield: Matt Murton, Chicago Cubs
Currently trapped as a backup, Murton has everyday-player skills. He'll get there eventually, and if his climbing fly ball rate is the harbinger of more power, he will be a big earner when he does.
Outfield: Scott Hairston, San Diego Padres
It's too bad Hairston leads the race for the Padres' left field job; otherwise he might come really cheap. In 637 major league at-bats, Hairston has flashed his minor league power (24 homers) but not yet his plate skills (.299 OBP). The power alone is enough for Hairston to hold a starting job, and if the plate discipline and contact skills he showed in the high minors ever emerge, he'll be a $25 player.
Outfield: Josh Anderson, Atlanta Braves
Anderson has little power, but makes good contact and keeps the ball on the ground enough to capitalize on his big-time speed. Mark Kotsay is ahead of him, but the 32-year-old is only a stopgap for the Braves. Top prospect Jordan Schafer currently wears the "center fielder-of-the-future" mantle, but he strikes out excessively and hasn't played above Class A. If Anderson plays well this year, he and his 50-steal speed could settle in as Andruw Jones' replacement for a while.
Pitcher: Wandy Rodriguez, Houston Astros
His control improved dramatically, while his strikeouts spiked just as sharply. An ace at home last year, Rodriguez posted mediocre overall numbers due to poor road performances. His best days are ahead.
Pitcher: Jonathan Sanchez, San Francisco Giants
Unfortunate hit and strand percentages wrecked his surface stats, but the 27-year-old left-hander is a live-armed talent. Now that he's in the rotation, weak control will mean some growing pains, but Sanchez is a potentially dominant starter.
Pitcher: Manny Parra, Milwaukee Brewers
A contender for the Brewers' rotation, Parra looks to be all the way back from his 2005 rotator cuff surgery. Though he lacks ace upside, Parra has the command to succeed in the majors. He could improve his control, but he's ready to be effective right now. Health and opportunity are the only obstacles.
Pitcher: Franklin Morales/Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies
Jimenez was ahead of the left-handed Morales in the minors, but both debuted in Colorado last year. Their minor league numbers are strikingly similar, both showing high strikeout capacity but also control issues. Both saw a dip in strikeouts upon reaching Double-A, and neither showed the command necessary for big league success in either the high minors or last year in the majors. Jimenez is more experienced, and he's the better of two poor bets for 2008 value. Rebuilders, however, should look to land either live-armed hurler, as both have the skills to emerge as productive starters, even in Coors Field.
Pitcher: Dustin Nippert, Arizona Diamondbacks
Nippert displayed solid command in the minor leagues, and he's flashed all of the elements required for success. A low strand percentage tainted his surface stats last year, but his ratios reveal potential. He's likely a couple years away from any sort of consistent effectiveness, but Nippert is definitely worth a flyer for rebuilders.
Pitcher: Heath Bell, San Diego Padres
An inflated hit percentage doomed Bell in 2005 and 2006, and last year's breakout is fully supported by his skill set. Bell is clearly a future closer, and in Petco Park he's a future relief ace. He's still worth paying for, even post-breakout.
Pitcher: Chad Qualls/Juan Cruz, Arizona Diamondbacks
Qualls and Cruz are very different pitchers, but they do have three things in common. Both are stuck behind Tony Pena and Brandon Lyon in the Arizona bullpen. Each took a big step forward with his strikeout rate last year, solidifying closer-worthy skills that are greater than those of Pena and Lyon. Finally, both are excellent targets for rebuilders.
Pitcher: Matt Lindstrom, Florida Marlins
The Marlins' bullpen is loaded with talented arms, but Lindstrom might have the best skills of all. He took a big leap forward in 2006, then built on his progress in last year's 67-inning major league debut. Expect Lindstrom to emerge this year as at least the clear No. 2 behind Kevin Gregg.
Pitcher: Bill Bray, Cincinnati Reds
Despite poor surface stats, Bray is already showing the excellent command that was the hallmark of his minor league career. This former first-rounder is Heath Bell in the making. It's never too early to own future closers when they come with dollar price tags.

|Subject: Munich, more on a short stay
Just got back from 2 days in Munich. Because we are coming back soon,
we deliberately made a relaxing trip out of it. Many of the premier
sights are centered on or near Marienplatz. Pick up a map there or at
the main train station/Bahn-hof. It is nice walk from the train
station, but you might want to take streetcar/trolley 19 for a 15-
minute journey to Max Weber Platz. On the way you'll pass through
a lovely shopping district, by the Opera House, part of a park, cross
the Isar river. Instead of exploring the area around the Platz, we
took the number 18 streetcar back toward the Frauenkirche
and got off near Marienplatz.
Strolling through the open air market, we ate snacks (cherries, pastry) out of hand. When we got to Marienplatz (just a block or two if you are measuring in USA blocks!). Marienplatz has a wonderful atmosphere of street musicians, mimes, and the Neues Rathaus with its ornamented façade and its glockenspiel and mechanical figures (performances at 11:00, 12 noon, and 5 p.m.). This building also houses a nice information center (also another one outside the front entrance Main Bahnhof). Bicycles can be rented there and guided bicycle tours through the Englisher Garten can be arranged. We spent time at Marienplatz watching everything, everyone, and drinking coffee at one of the outdoor cafes.
Near this square are some lovely churches besides the late-Gothic Frauenkirche. I recommend the Asamkirche. Small, exquisite late- Baroque church. We heard an impromptu choir recital by a group of eastern European parishioners on tour. They sang a capelle; it was wonderful.
That evening we ate at Hackerhaus, Sendlinger Strasse 14. This street runs into the south corner of Marienplatz. Good atmosphere, good food, mostly locals and German customers. Mentioned in Fodor's Pocket Munich, but the address is wrong in the guide book.
The next morning we attended services (Gregorian Chant) at Michaels kirche. On Saturday, we explored this church and saw the neoclassical monument in a transept contains the tomb of Napoleon's stepson. The white stucco interior is rather plain, but very beautiful because it sets off the lovely statues of angels and saints. They are smiling and consequently, I thought this church had an especially happy feeling.
Walked to the Residenz (near Marienplatz again) and saw one of its 3 museums: The Schatzkammer. It has a very nice collection of jewel studded crowns, crosses, and many other ornaments and baubles. I thought everything was very nicely grouped and displayed. We also visited a toy museum (one corner of Marienplatz square), but I really can't recommend it, except for the museum shop. If you want to get some really unique gift books for children and adults this is the place to do it. The most interesting books were reproductions of turn-of-the-Century children's books. The children touring the displays were really sweet.
Munich is great; different; lovely Baroque churches; want to go back many times. Got there on Saturday about 12:30. In two days, we just saw a tiny bit of what there is to see; everything within walking distance and convenient trolley stops and S-Bahn stations; it wasn't really warm there (more like San Francisco; but not windy). We had only a few misting sprinkles and at night, rain at about 10 p.m. (at that time of night we were snuggy and warm on the 6th floor in a pension). Hotel-Pension Beck Thiersch strasse 36 tel. 089 220-708 or 089/220-089. Bath and shower down the hall. Mentioned in Fodor's Pocket Munich. It was comfortable, cheap, but no elevator!
By the way, Munich was a very easy trip from our place in Stuttgart. We went up on the ICE (fast train) and came back on the Shones Wochenende (35 DM/5 people). Coming back was fun. We went on a different route (by way of Donauworth) and the countryside was even more beautiful than the usual way (by way of Ulm), which is still pretty. The train was crowded, but the train was a double-decker with observation cars. We sat in first class, because it was the end of a 4-day weekend and they opened up first class to everyone. Actually, I can't tell the difference (seats looked and felt the same). The train was full of volunteer firefighters: fireman and firewomen. Everyone had been to a national convention of volunteer firemen. They all were in uniform and there was much singing of folksongs. Some older women behind us joined in and pretty soon our car was rocking. A charming fireman sat across of us and told us about his town Schwabish Gmund and asked all about the upcoming US elections. He is Bill Clinton's age, he said. He said, My generation changed things. Schwabish Gmund had an installation of Pershing missles aimed at Russia and the Russians had missles aimed at us. We took to the streets and made them (US military and German govt) remove them. We also talked briefly with a young man from China (Beijing).
If you plan to travel a lot in Germany, a Bahn-Card is a good deal. For about $130 US dollars you can travel anywhere in Germany for 50% off. You can get them at any big station. They are supposed to be for residents, but as long as you can provide a German address on the form you must fill out (bring passport picture or use automat-type machine in the station), you will qualify for a Bahn-Card. You will receive a cardboard card immediately, and your plastic card will arrive in about 2 weeks.

text: Nov 14 - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today assigned issue-level and recovery ratings to Antero Resources Finance Corp.'s $300 million senior unsecured notes due 2020. The assigned issue rating on the notes is 'B+' (the same as the corporate credit rating). The recovery rating on this debt is '4', indicating our expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of default. The issue and recovery ratings are based on the rating of exploration and production company Antero Resources LLC (B+/Stable/--), which guarantees the proposed notes on a senior unsecured basis. The company intends to use proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. A key assumption in our analysis is that we expect the company's commitment on its revolver to decline to approximately $700 million following the close of the sale of its Piceance assets. The ratings on Denver-based Antero Resources LLC (Antero) reflect our assessment of the company's "weak" business risk and "aggressive" financial risk. The ratings on Antero incorporate the company's participation in the competitive and highly cyclical oil and gas industry, the high percentage of proved undeveloped (PUD) reserves, significant costs associated with the company's development of its proved reserve base, and its high concentration of natural gas reserves. Our ratings also reflect the company's good cash operating costs, solid reserve replacement, and Antero's favorable hedges. -- RELATED CRITERIA AND RESEARCH -- Methodology: Business Risk/Financial Risk Matrix Expanded, Sept. 18, 2012 -- Liquidity Descriptors For Global Corporate Issuers, Sept. 28, 2011 -- 2008 Corporate Criteria: Analytical Methodology, April 15, 2008 Temporary telephone contact numbers: Stephen Scovotti (347-839-0615); Marc Bromberg (347-573-0897) RATINGS LIST Antero Resources LLC Corporate credit rating B+/Stable/-- New Ratings $300 mil sr unsecrd nts due 2020 B+ Recovery rating 4 Complete ratings information is available to subscribers of RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal at www.globalcreditportal.com.

Every disciple making community I start, begins with this premise. "The foundational victory, upon which all other victories are based, is daily time to read the word of God." This is a discipline that I have built into my life that has been revolutionary. I challenge those new to the disciple making process to make their first victory one in which they read the word of God on a daily basis. Reading your Bible on a daily basis is a victory of discipline.
When I know a pastor well, I tell them that I want to know about their Bible reading schedule. Sadly, they usually cower in shame only to admit, it is not what it should be. I confess, up until a few years ago, I was a terrible Bible reader. I had every excuse in the book to not read the Bible on a daily basis. However, once I have disciplined myself to be a regular Bible reader, my previous excuses just seemed silly.
5 tips for a daily Bible reading plan
Plan it:
Know what you're reading today and what you will read tomorrow. Whether it is just a chapter a day or an Old and New Testament reading, have a regular reading plan. At times I preach more than one time per week, so this has become an invaluable tool. I record my daily readings and reflections on the Evernote App so they are quickly searchable. I have found myself quoting obscure Biblical stories in the middle of sermons because they are things I had just read and fit so well. Have a plan God will use it!
Schedule it:
I have found it best to have a drop-dead time that reading has to be done by. I'm not legalistic about this but in the mornings when my kids wake up, all bets are off for reading (They are still in the ultra-needy stage). I try and have my reading and reflections done by the first 30 minutes after getting into the office for the day.
Reflect on it:
It has happened more than one time that I have read a chapter in the Bible and thought, "what on earth did I just read?" It happens to everyone. I suggest a slower intentional reading of the scriptures with reflection. What I know is that God wants to speak to humanity and one of the best ways he does that is with his word.
Discuss it
God's word was spoken before it was ever read. I once heard a Rabbi say that it should be a sin to read the Torah alone. There is something about talking about the scripture that lends to it becoming a reality in life. After all, I am convinced that words can become flesh.
Account for it
I have a small group of local pastors that I text my daily reading to. It is almost like the good old fashion chain letter, I text one person and they text another and so on. More than anything else, practicing the discipline of accountability makes me read the Bible on days when I'm just to tired or busy, and those are the days I need to hear God's voice the most.
Effective disciple making begins with a solid daily reading of the scriptures. The scriptures will grow you, transform you and send you on mission with Jesus. I believe that once you have achieved a victory in reading the scripture then that lays the foundation for all other victories. Can you afford to put off developing a daily reading plan?Share

Dance To The Music 1969
Sly And The Family Stone
Sly And The Family Stone must have read the 150th Psalm. Check out all of the Lord's musical instruments, and those that Sly Stone mentioned in his song. Of course, Sly added dancing, too; that's in verse 4! Like I've always said, "It's okay to enjoy the Lord!"
Psalm 150 King James Version (KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Giles Quay and Carlingford
Carlingford Travel Blog› entry 4 of 27 › view all entries
So we headed up the Cooley Penninsula on our way to Carlingford and on the way saw this sign for Giles Quay. We got out the trusty tour books, looked it up and found out that it was a beach area. A very cool beach area. It was the first of many unplanned stops (see when we built the itineray we added time to do unplanned things, lol) We. walked along the beach, found a path to an old abandoned farmhouse and just enjoyed the day. It was beautiful...when suddenly, these big old dark storm clouds move in. In a matter of minutes it went from bright daylight to dark as night, the wind picked up and we thought we were definitely getting drenched. Then all the sudden the clouds moved out, the sun was shinning and not a drop a rain had fallen.
We drove on and got to Carlingford, checked into the B and B and went to wait out by the lough for sunset. Kerry and I are sunset freaks, once on a bus tour we actually almost missed dinner waiting for a sunset that never happened. Let me just mention that I don't make a decision to almost miss dinner lightly unless I think there's going to be a really good sunset....or I'm lost in Killarney National Park for 3 hours but that's a different vacation for a different time. So we see the sunset not the best but still the first Irish sunset we witnessed on the trip so still good. Then we got ready to go out and hit the town. This of course also turned into a laughable moment ( don't you wish you could go on vacation with us, right? lol), when I can't find my clothes.
Oh and Kerry and I got into a drop dead screaming match later in the night (thanks alot Magner's) about walking back to the B and B alone, but now that we've seen Hostel it will never happen again, lol. Geez sorry this is so long winded. Until next time.

Lately the antics of traders racing back and forth between oil and the US dollar have been particularly schizophrenic. Each morning brings a brand new vote as capital floods out of the dollar and into oil, or back to oil and out of the dollar. On Tuesday US Fed Chairman Bernanke prompted a big dollar rally (and corresponding fall in oil which is priced in US $) as he described US inflation as "significantly higher" than the US would like to see it. This sounded an "all on the dollar trade" bell as speculation roared that the US Fed may be done cutting rates and may soon be tightening again in an effort to slow inflation.
Yesterday, an opposite catalyst came from European Central Bank President Trichet's comments (see video clip) that the ECB may look to increase rates in the near term as it struggles to squeeze down inflation to its mandated 2% target rate. The ECB already has an overnight rate of 4% more than double that of the US, and this has been one of the key forces driving the Euro to escalating highs against the U$ over the past several months. So the dollar fell back on such news, and oil (again) spiked in response to catch up for currency weakness.
This week as oil spiked the energy heavy Canadian Index topped fresh highs. But before we Canadians bring on the marching band, let us see one thing clearly. The parabolic spike in the price of oil is not a good thing for anybody. It is not a healthy sign of a strong global economy. As I have said many times of late, recent jumps in the price of oil have nothing to do with consumption demand. If anything constructive is coming from rocketing prices, it is that consumers all around the world are in fact quickly reducing consumption.
Soon it is likely that Asian governments who also heavily subsidize their domestic oil prices will scale back on this increasingly costly enterprise and let oil prices float up. This will plunge weakening demand even further as has already been happening in western countries where subsidies are lower. We can be sure that the "invisible hand" will eventually correct overzealous prices.
This week we also received further confirmation that gasoline prices face an even greater downside price risk than crude oil. US auto sales have plunged as gas prices have peaked, and as such US gas demand has now fallen to its lowest level in more than 10 years.
See BCA:US gasoline demand destruction ahead.
Meanwhile if we look at recent inflation data around the world we have reason for considerable alarm. In my view, we also have ample reason to expect that central bankers will be unable to cut rates much further in this climate.
"In China, Thailand, the Philippines and at least eight other Asian economies, benchmark borrowing costs are lower than the rate of inflation [in the US too], resulting in negative real interest rates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The risk is that prices will spiral even faster, leading to overheated economies and an eventual bust."
For some recent inflation statistics: see China leads Asia in retreat from inflation battle
China: may accelerate to 10 % as early as this month
Brazil: inflation exceeds 5%
Russia: consumer prices up 14% in April from year earlier
Indonesia: 10% expected by year end
Vietnam: up 25% in May
The spiralling prices threaten the credit ratings of emerging-market nations, Fitch Ratings said in a report May 27. Russia is the most vulnerable of the so-called BRIC economies, which also include Brazil, China and India; in Asia, Vietnam and Sri Lanka are among the top 10 at risk, according to the report.
High inflation is a cancer on world stability. Leaders all over the world will be focused first on stemming this disease, even at the expense of restricting further economic growth. When push comes to shove they must target inflation as the greater evil. As Marie Antoinette and many other leaders have learned the hard way, when people can't afford basic necessities they rise in revolt.

I just saw a commercial for it last night (albeit for 360) and it looked simply incredible!!!
This game is looking like a MUST HAVE title... well at least here it is...
imho the entire cod series has been great, and seeing a little action from this one has me stunned
