Mini-interview with Taylor by Chuck "the-movie-guy"
I wish people would ask him more interesting questions than just about his work-out routine - like his "chemistry" with KStew, mu ah ah ah! ;)
Thanks Bella And Edward

I couldn't agree more. Interviewers should work on asking him something else besides 'how did you work out?' They should start asking him questions with a little more substance at least! - AnonymousJuly 26, 2009 at 5:25 AM
I just love that Taylor is so comfortable doing interviews. He hardly stutters and he gives great, coherent answers. So mature for such a young man!

summit is really trying its darn best to promote taylor. but i think he wont get to the level that rob reached thru twilight. taylor is just too rehearsed and too predictable. and the muscles ? too fleeting. its an insult to taylor to get asked about his abs for the nth time but he loves it that way i guess.
as for rob, i think summit is making a mistake if it will try to put him on the side. i think its very rude to rob and his character edward, who happens to be the main draw of the saga. or perhaps summit is going for the big guns near the showing and its just saving the best, who is rob, for last !! - TwicrackFeenJuly 27, 2009 at 7:41 AM
Ha Lorabell =] I actually think that this is just another one of Summits tricks with the whole Taylor-and-Kristen thing. [whatever it is lol] They're trying to make it seem like Rob n KStew are not like in love but it was sooo obvious at comic con. They kept sneaking looks at each other =] so cute

Second Part of Mitchell's Story
Second Part.
Jack let out a small sound that was him clearing his throat, as he sat back down next to his son. His hand reaching out to lay his hand against the boy's knee, gripping it tight a moment. A grip that made Mitchell's eyes spring open wide, and his head very slowly turn to see his father smiling and the smell of hormones pouring off of him. "Mm.. Can't wait to get home huh son? A shower and some television will be good for us huh?" Mitch cautiously nodded and smiled back as his father's hand moved to grasp a drink he had ordered before and drank from it heavily. For half a second Mitch was worried his father would do something weird like he had done before, he smiled a little as he went back to peacefully watching television. The rest of the flight was mild and calm thankfully, not even any real turbulence.
They landed and walked hand-in-hand to the luggage rack where they waited and made small jokes about people for Mitchell's bags. When they finally both came up they snatched them and rushed from the building, racing a little through the parking garage to his fathers pick-up truck. Mitchell shoved his bags down onto the floor boards of the truck as his father started the engine. His rock music blasting already, but he reached over and turned it down a little so his son didn't go deaf so early in his life. "You ready for fun Mitch?" Mitchell nodded excitedly and Jack let out a small chuckle as well as they drove through the traffic. Singing along to some songs as they came on the radio, he remembered them from when he last visited. Jack's house was really a single wide trailer on some land that he owned. Mitchell didn't mind all too much, it was certainly different from living with his well off lawyer of a mother.
His nearest neighbors were a little down the road, but Mitch was always welcome down to their house when he was around and his father was at work. Jack was a construction worker, he had been with the same company for many years without a lot of advancement. He wasn't too bright, but he was strong and he knew what he had to do. Mitch ran to the small room that was his alone, kept always how he left it last and threw his bags into the corner. "Dad! Can I paint my room blue this time?" He asked as he father walked to lean his strong shoulder against the door frame and nodded into the green room. "Sure kiddo.. That green makes my eyes burn any way." He laughed. "Go ahead and get into you pajamas and we will watch some tv until we pass out." Jack told his son as he turned to walk into his own room, his hand pushing into his pants instantly without shutting the door to well. He let out a deep sound that resembled a growl as he started stroking is massive dick against his hip a little. "Fuck.." He said with a sigh as he kept rubbing his throbbing organ. "I love those whore attendants." He let out a small laugh before pulling off his shirt and throwing it on the floor, shifting to removed his belt then jeans. His head moving low as he stretched a little but started to suck where he cock lay under his boxers, blowing a little as well. "Mm.. Someone's gunna get a fat load.." He smirked as his head moved to lick the head of his cock as it poked out the leg of his boxers.
He stood up quickly as he hear his son jump onto the couch and called his name. He sighed a little before shrugging and walking out to where is son was. "Geeze kid, you don't wait for any one huh?" He laughed a little as his cock was clearly swollen and showing infront of his son. "I.. No.. Sorry Daddy.." Mitch breathed out as he stared openly in awe at the huge organ in his fathers shorts. His four inches tingling inside of his underwear, making his pants puff out just a little. "It's fine son.. No worries." He nodded a little as he sat down next to his son, reaching into his boxers and pulling out his cock. Mitchell started to look around a moment before staring down at his own crotch. "That's.. Big.." He said to his father who had flipped the television on to porn, it seemed to be two men and one female going at it. "Oooh.. Yeah.. Daddy's got a big one." He smiled as his hand moved over the broadness of his shaft to squeeze his members head tight. "You want to feel it son?" Mitchell looked down and started to stammer. "Mom's says that's wrong." Jack instantly grew angry. "There is no mom here." With that he grabbed his sons hand and pushed it against his hard cock, his body heating. "Mm.. Good boy.. Grab tight." Mitchell's hand was no where near that big, but he grabbed for all he was worth and started pumping hard. In no time Jack shoot a hot load all over his own hand and his sons. "Night son." He said as he went to his own bed. "Gunna be a long summer..." Mitch cried out a little as he layed on the sofa, looking over the sticky whiteness his father left on him. Sniffling as the wrongness was clear in his mind, his smaller cock hard. He reached into his bottoms and jerked himself as hard as he did his father.

First they dropped their all-in plan to $99 a month, and now they've gone and slashed the prices of all their phones by $50. Helio really wants you to switch to them in a bad way, which could be a sign that they aren't doing so hot, or they may be paving the way for a new device to drop. Either way, now that you can get an Ocean for less than $200 and get an all-in plan for less than $100, I certainly wouldn't blame you for taking the bait, as that is as good a deal as you're likely to get in the cellphone world right now.

Begu Beats Wozniacki, First Top 10 Victory
Published August 28, 2012 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - Caroline Wozniacki came into the US Open as somewhat of an unknown quantity this year - not only had she not won a WTA title for more than a year, but she also had some injury concerns, having to retire in the semifinals of last week's tournament in New Haven due to a right knee injury. And unfortunately it all may have piled on at the wrong time, as she was ousted in the first round of her favorite Grand Slam on Tuesday night.
An uncharacteristically erratic Wozniacki just couldn't find her range throughout the match, hitting 22 unforced errors to just four winners and going out quietly in an hour and 22 minutes to Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu, 62 62.
"You always want to go onto the court and do your best no matter what's happening out there," Wozniacki said. "I tried but I didn't succeed in playing well. I made too many errors. I definitely felt I couldn't hit through her today like I wanted to. When she had the opportunity she went in and finished off the point.
"I tried to win out there - I tried my best. It just wasn't enough today."
Wozniacki was asked about the right knee injury that forced her to stop after losing the first set to Maria Kirilenko in the New Haven semifinals.
"I've had it examined and I've had treatment on it," Wozniacki commented. "I think it's a temporary issue. Hopefully it will get better quickly. Injuries can be frustrating, but it happens to everyone. It's just about moving on from it."
Wozniacki has always done well at the US Open - in 2009 she reached her first Grand Slam final here and she backed it up with back-to-back semifinals in 2010 and 2011. This year she was clearly not at her best level - she spoke afterwards about going forward, not just the rest of 2012 but beyond as well.
"The Grand Slams this year haven't been great for me," the former World No.1 said. "After the year's finished I'll evaluate what was good and what wasn't so good, and we'll work from there. But I have plenty of years left in me. And this year isn't even over yet. Hopefully I can turn it around and play even better."
Meanwhile, Begu finally broke through against the WTA's upper echelon - the WTA Newcomer Of The Year for 2011 got her first Top 10 win, having gone 0-5 against them previously (three losses to Victoria Azarenka, one loss to Maria Sharapova and one loss to Sara Errani). She was thrilled with the win.
"It's the first Top 10 player I've beaten and I'm really happy," Begu said. "I had nothing to lose tonight. I had the right tactics from the beginning and played the same from beginning to end - I served really well, too, which was the key.
"I still don't really know what happened tonight - right now I'm just going to enjoy the moment, and for sure tomorrow I'll realize what I've done."

Tiger Woods came within millimetres of another slice of golfing history when his putt for the first 62 in Major Championships horse-shoed out in the second round of the US PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The World Number One's birdie putt from 15 feet looked destined to place Woods in the record books, but the ball lipped out to leave Woods as the 21st person to shoot a 63 in the Majors while it was the 23rd time in total that a 63 had been recorded (Greg Norman and Vijay Singh did it twice).
Woods, seeking his 13th Major title, signed for a seven under par 63 – he jokingly referred to it as a '62 ½' – to open up a two stroke lead over the field in the 89th playing of the US PGA Championship.
The reigning Champion, who started the day at one over par, ended it six under with a total of 134, two strokes clear of Oklahoma resident Scott Verplank and three ahead of 2006 US Open Champion Geoff Ogilvy and Canadian Stephen Ames.
Sweden's Niclas Fasth goes into the weekend as the highest placed European on 139 – one of only seven players under par at the halfway stage. A total of 24 European Tour Members made it through to the final two rounds in the Southern Hills sauna.
For a long time, it appeared that the rounds of 66 shot by Irishmen Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley and Verplank would stand at the lowest of the day. However, Woods is not a player to be under-estimated and he burst clear of the pack with four birdies in an outward 32.
He then birdied the tenth to make his presence felt on the leaderboard and simply went into turbo-charge mode by birdying the 13th, 14th and 15th to come home in 31. Even allowing for the lip-out on the last, his 63 represents his best return from a single round in the Majors.
Oglivy managed to keep pace with Woods for most of the back nine, but a pair of closing bogeys sent him tumbling down the leaderboard.
A keen student of golfing history, Woods appreciated what his putt meant at the last. He admitted: "I knew it would be a nice little record to have, but 62 ½ isn't bad. However there are still 36 holes to go and I have to keep plodding along.
"This is a Major Championship played on a tricky course in tough conditions and there are a lot of players who can still win this Championship."
Fasth, who finished fourth in the US Open before winning the BMW International Open, continued to mine his rich seam of form with a two under par 68 for 139. He said: "That was a good, solid round of golf without too many mistakes. I'm really happy about the way I'm playing. I like the course so it's a good start."
Clarke and McGinley, playing on opposite sides of the draw, took their cue from the famous highway which trundles through Oklahoma by taking Route 66 towards the business end of the leaderboard.
McGinley's score propelled him into a share of 11th place while Clarke showed vastly improved form by following his opening 77 with that 66.
It was a more relaxed Clarke who reviewed both rounds at Southern Hills by saying: "When I went back last night and thought about my round I thought I should have shot 73 if I had been switched on. But today I played as well as I have in very, very, very long time."
However McGinley was thrilled with the quality of his own 66, which enabled him to overtake his close friend and fellow Dubliner, Padraig Harrington, who shot a 73 for a two round total of 142.
Now McGinley sets out over the weekend attempting to emulate the achievement of Harrington, who ended Europe's Major drought at Carnoustie last month by winning The Open Championship after a play-off with Sergio Garcia.
Although he is six behind Woods, the three-time Ryder Cup winner enjoyed the experience of finishing 19th at Carnoustie playing in the penultimate match. How it has left him wanting more.
"Carnoustie was a lot of fun because it's been a long time since I was in contention" he explained. "I was disappointed to finish 19th because I felt I played better than that for four rounds. But it was a big learning curve.
"I'd never been in the last few groups before and I learned a lot from the experience, not so much in terms of the playing but from all the extraneous activity going on around you. It's a big buzz to be in contention in a Major.
"Hopefully the leaders won't get too far away and I can stay in touching distance for the weekend. My main intention starting out was to make the cut after an opening 74 but after birdies at three and five I was off and running."
McGinley closed his round with a lovely birdie putt of 20 feet on the last to underline the fact that his game and his putting are in strong shape. He added: "I've started to get confidence in my swing again and my shots are under control. I've worked extremely hard on my game so it's nice to come out the other side with a round like that."
Verplank shot a flawless four under par 66 to take the lead as Southern Hills became a sauna bath for the second successive day. The man who attended Oklahoma State University and still lives in the state, finished on four under par 136, one ahead of Ames (69) with Austin (70) in third place on 138.
"Yesterday and today I hit the ball as good as I've ever hit it," Verplank said. "I put it in position where I could putt for birdie."
Verplank, who won the Byron Nelson Championship in April and has had five top tens in his last six tournaments, said winning this week's Major at Southern Hills would be special. "It would be more than a dream come true," he said.
Ryder Cup team-mates Harrington and Paul Casey of England both finished on 142, two over par but still in the title hunt. Harrington followed an opening 69 with a 73 while Casey's second round of 70 gave a hint of promise for the weekend.
Harrington, chasing back to back Majors, said: "I'm not in too bad shape but I would like to have been two or three better. It was disappointing to bogey the last but I'm certainly still within range. A couple of three putts out there cost me today."
Casey also felt that two over par kept him within striking range of the leaders and commented: "It could have been lower today. Now I've got to get myself back under par and if I can do that I think I will be in contention."
Another Englishman, Justin Rose, who tied for second place in last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, had one of these days where he felt he had got out on the wrong side of the bed.
"I can't explain it" said a puzzled Rose. "I was a bit quick and jumpy today and a bit out of sorts. I've got to get my rhythm back. There is no great secret."
He added: "Overall I played terribly and seemed to have to scramble for par all the time. I got it back to one over par which would have been a miraculous score, but I made two bogeys to finish, which was a shame."
Overnight leader Graeme Storm of England slipped back with a six over par 76 after a roller-coaster second round. The Hartlepool golfer, whose opening 65 earned a two stroke lead over American John Daly, had eight bogeys, one double bogey, four birdies and five pars to finish on one over 141.
"I didn't get the run of the ball I did yesterday," the 29 year old commented. "Everything went my way yesterday and everything that could go wrong went wrong today."
Storm said he had a restless night before having to hit the opening shot of the second round.
Asked how it felt to go to bed on a two shot lead, he said with a smile: "Sleepless!" He added: "I went to sleep at 10 p.m. and woke up about 2 a.m. and it was on and off after that.
"I think I was worried about missing my alarm call, which I don't normally think about, but when you're leading a Major it's slightly different."

It includes five of the "most elite military Forces of the Napoleonic Wars", which breaks down to two cavalry and three infantry units. Nice, but it also comes with the regular edition. Advertisement The "Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars" pack, on the other hand, is exclusive to the Imperial Edition. It collects ten units, some infantry, some cavalry, and since these guys have better names, sharper uniforms and bigger feathers in their caps, they should also be of more use on the battlefield.Being a UK-based game, there's only British pricing currently available at the moment: while the standard edition comes in at £30 (USD$50), the Imperial Edition is £50 (USD$80), which is a hell of a lot more to pay for a set that doesn't include a large action figure or set of night vision goggles.Reply87 repliesLeave a reply

New Jerseyans Can Fly Home for the Holidays
Several years ago, Roy Foster, president of the AFL-CIO Central Labor Council of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, was flipping through the radio stations in his car while driving through Philadelphia and landed on a program that peaked his interest.
People were saying how they haven't seen family for years because they couldn't afford to travel. While I was listening, one lady said she hasn't seen her mom in eight years….I started doing the math on buying a plane ticket.
Foster took an idea back to the labor council to put together a "Fly Home for the Holidays" giveaway. The labor council donates money for two round-trip plane tickets, as well as a $500 gift certificate for a shopping spree for families that haven't seen each other in years. This is the ninth straight year of this promotion.
Two finalists will be chosen by Dec. 17, with the help of the local rock radio station, 100.7 WZXL, that helps promote the giveaway, collects the stories and partners with the labor council.
Every hour, on the hour, Foster gets on 100.7 and lets listeners know about "Fly Home for the Holidays." Foster says laborers, electrical workers and union members working in the casinos in Atlantic City have reacted very positively to the program. This year, because of Hurricane Sandy, "Fly Home for the Holidays" is offering plane tickets out of New Jersey, since many here are still dealing with the aftermath of the Hurricane and destroyed homes.
"I'm very proud to be a part of it," says Foster. "When you hear how happy the winners are, you can't be upset."
If you're in the Cape May/Atlantic City area and want to enter, fill out a form here.

Soot Pollution 101
What You Need to Know and How You Can Help Prevent It
Earlier this summer the Environmental Protection Agency proposed updated clean-air standards thatwill prevent tens of thousands of premature deaths. The proposal comes in response to legal action calling upon the EPA to update final regulations for particle pollution. This rule is in line with the Clean Air Act's requirements to protect public health and improve air quality.
Particle pollution, commonly referred to as "soot," is one of the deadliest forms of air pollution. This 101 details why it is essential that the EPA adopts the strictest rules possible to protect Americans from the dangers of breathing these particles.
What is soot?
Soot is the common term for a type of particle pollution called PM 2.5—particulate matter that is 2.5 micrometers in diameter or smaller. Such fine particles are even smaller than dust and mold particles, or approximately 1/30 of the size of a human hair.
It is comprised of a variety of pollutants, including chemicals, acids, metals, soils, and dust, which are suspended in the air after emission. Soot can come in solid, liquid, or gaseous ("aerosols") states.
How is soot produced?
Soot is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, particularly coal. It is emitted by a variety of sources, including burning coal for electricity or industrial fuel, manufacturing, oil refining, and motor vehicles.
Soot is released into the air as either extremely small particles or liquid droplets. Some solid particles are emitted directly into the air while others are formed when gases form particles as they are carried thousands of miles from pollution sources.
Why is soot a problem for public health?
Soot poses tremendous harms to public health, particularly because of its size. Particulate matter is so small that it can easily enter your lungs and bloodstream, potentially causing damage in a number of ways.
The Environmental Protection Agency describes the process of soot harming the human body:
Microscopic particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and have been linked to a wide range of serious health effects, including premature death, heart attacks, and strokes, as well as acute bronchitis and aggravated asthma among children.
The American Lung Association adds that breathing particle pollution can potentially cause "cancer and developmental and reproductive harm."
Nearly 6 million people in the United States live in an area with unhealthy year-round levels of particle pollution. The most vulnerable members of the population are children, the elderly, low-income communities, and people with pre-existing heart and lung diseases. Healthy adults, however, can also suffer from its adverse effects.
Why is soot an environmental problem?
Soot causes several environmental problems, such as haze and the acidification of lakes and rivers.
Haze is formed when sunlight interacts with small particles in the atmosphere. Soot is the primary cause of haze, which severely decreases visibility in U.S. cities and national parks. As a result the EPA estimates that visibility in national parks and other scenic areas in the eastern United States has been reduced from a 90-mile distance to just 15–25 miles.
Fine particle pollution negatively impacts the natural beauty of such national treasures by robbing us of color, distance, and hue, and negatively harms the health of visitors and residents. Haze can also hurt tourism by discouraging visits, which causes economic damage.
Particle pollution is also correlated to acid rain. The same compounds from soot that react in the air to form haze—sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides—can mix with atmospheric moisture to acidify precipitation. Carried by the wind or in the water, this acidified pollution degrades water quality by making lakes and rivers more acidic, depleting the nutrients in the soil and damaging sensitive farm crops, and changing the nutrient balance in river basins, along coastlines, and in forests.
Acidification through soot pollution can also stain stone and erode it, slowly discoloring and damaging important national monuments and iconic buildings.
Why is the EPA acting now?
A coalition of states and clean-air organizations sued the EPA for not updating its soot emissions standards within five years, as it is required to do by the Clean Air Act. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia told the EPA to issue new standards by June 2012 to protect public health and comply with the Clean Air Act. In accordance with this ruling, the EPA issued the new Air Quality Standards for Particle Pollution.
What does the new rule do?
The current limit is 15 μg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter of air), which was finalized in 2006. The EPA proposed to reduce the soot limit to between 12 and 13 μg/m3, or a reduction of up to 20 percent. This safeguard would take effect by 2020. It would also additionally set a new standard for visibility in urban areas, which will either be 28 or 30 deciviews.
Existing standards for coarse particle pollution—particles that are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers in diameter—will not change.
Who will be affected by the new rule?
Emission reductions will be required from vehicles, power plants, and stationary diesel engines. The EPA will solicit reports from states to determine whether they meet requirements set forth by the new rule. The EPA will determine which states are in compliance with the rule by the end of 2014. Then, states will have until 2020 to meet the health standards. States may request extensions until 2025 on a case-by-case basis.
The EPA estimates, however, that 99 percent of U.S. counties will be in compliance with the rule without adoption of additional pollution-control measures. This is primarily because ofother recent Clean Air Act rules that will also lead to reductions in soot, including the cross-state air pollution rule and the regulations to cut mercury and air toxics.
The approximately 20 counties that will violate the new soot protection standard will have to develop an implementation plan to reduce soot pollution to acceptable levels. State plans must specifically demonstrate how they will meet the standard.
What are the benefits from the soot rule?
Strong soot regulations can achieve tremendous health benefits. Strengthening the standards for soot could result in up to $5.9 billion every year thanks to the reduced costs associated with premature death and disease, according to EPA analysis. In other words every dollar invested in cleaning up soot pollution will yield up to $86 million in health benefits. See the table below for a breakdown of the health benefits from the new rule.
So what happens now?
Example message to send to the EPA:
I urge the EPA to adopt the strongest possible standards to reduce soot (particle) pollution. This dangerous pollutant threatens children, the elderly, as well as people with asthma and other lung and cardiovascular diseases. Stronger soot standards can save up to 35,700 lives and prevent 1.4 million asthma attacks each year. I strongly urge the EPA to clean up soot pollution and protect Americans' health. Thank you.

The EPA will be accepting public comments on the new rules until August 31, 2012. It also conducted two public hearings in July in Philadelphia and Sacramento. At these events most of thespeakers urged the EPA to adopt additional protections from soot. This included a number of medical professionals.
To support the EPA's proposed safeguards, you can submit commentshere. The rule has to be finalized by December 14, and states will be expected to achieve the new limit by 2020. You can also view a video here on how reducing soot can protect public health.

The previous Carolina Mudcats organization, a member of the AA Southern League, has moved to Pensacola, Fla. and are now known as the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. System Overview The Indians got off to a hot start in 2011, going 33-20 over the first two months of the season, and while they didn't maintain that pace, they entered the All-Star break at 47-42, just a half game behind the division leading Detroit Tigers. Two weeks later, still in the midst of a playoff chase, the Indians made a bold trade at the deadline, sending their two top pitching prospects, Alex White and Drew Pomeranz, to the Rockies in exchange for Ubaldo Jimenez. Jimenez didn't fare as well in the Indians rotation over 11 starts to close the year, and his performance was indicative of the Indians' departure from the playoff picture, finishing the season 80-82. Despite the disappointment after fading from contention down the stretch, it was their best season since 2008 when they went 81-81. After a 65-97 finish in 2009, the Indians selected fifth overall in 2010 when they took Pomeranz, the highest selection the team owned since 1992 when they took Paul Shuey second overall. That in itself is a pretty good indication to just how solid the organization has been over the last two decades. The team has had difficulty finding the right successful mix ever since the team's incredibly successful run from 1995-2001, when they averaged 93 wins per season and made the playoffs six times in seven years, including two World Series appearances. Those powerhouse teams were dismantled fairly quickly due to financial limitations, and also marked the departure of long-time General Manager John Hart. Mark Shapiro, who was promoted to the team's President in November, called the shots after Hart left, and oversaw a team that surprised a lot involved in the industry in 2007 when it finished 96-66 and advanced to the ALCS before falling to the eventual World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. The Indians have a deep track record promoting from within, and former assistant GM Chris Antonetti took over the reigns as the team's General Manager with Shapiro moving into his new role. Pitching continues to be the team's biggest weakness, at least their ability to retain the productive arms they have procured from within. Outside of de-facto staff ace Justin Masterson, the players the team received in return for CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee haven't lived up to their initial promise. In a continued effort to improve the team's starting staff, particularly since Fausto Carmona has been placed on the inactive list due to an investigation surrounding his actual identify, the club traded two projected middle relief prospects for proven big-league starters this offseason. Chris Jones was sent to the Braves in late October for Derek Lowe, while Zach Putnam was recently dealt to the Rockies for Kevin Slowey. In addition to Jimenez, who the team hopes will rebound this year to regain his status as one of the game's most dynamic young pitchers, they have collected a modest group of arms that at the very least will provide valuable depth, with a few others (Zach McAllister, Jeanmar Gomez, Scott Barnes) knocking at the door. They also have assembled a young and effective bullpen, led by 26-year old Chris Perez, with several other key arms on the cusp of contributing in the late innings, including Nick Hagadone and Chen Lee. The lineup is also full of youth, as designated hitter Travis Hafner is the only projected starter over the age of 29. The system graduated a pair of infielders a year ago in Lonnie Chisenhall and Jason Kipnis, who are projected to be the team's starters at third and second base for the foreseeable future. While promoting players from within to assume key roles on the big-league team is something the Indians have done quite well in recent years, those graduations and the number of trades the team made over the last six months have thinned out the impact talent in the system, at least at the upper levels. Their strong 2011 draft and increased scouting and signing activity in Latin America could quickly change the perceived strength of the system. The Indians will need a lot of things to click for them in 2012 if they hope to once again contend for the postseason, and the Division champion Detroit Tigers continued to get significantly better with the acquisition of Prince Fielder. 2011 Draft As listed below, the team's top two prospects were also their top two picks from last June's draft. While that typically isn't a good sign for any organization, both Francisco Lindor and Dillon Howard were projected to go higher than where the Indians selected them, and both have impact potential. Lindor received $2.9 million as the eighth overall pick after rumors circulated just before the draft that he could go high as second overall to the Mariners. A potential five-tool shortstop, he has perennial Gold Glove defensive skills and shows an advanced approach with surprising power from both sides of the plate as a switch hitter. Howard signed for well over slot at $1.85 million as the team's second-round pick, money equivalent of where he was expected to be selected in the middle of the first-round. Seventh rounder Eric Haase also got money comparable to his second-round talent grade, while pitchers Cody Anderson (14th round), Ryan Merritt (16th), Shawn Armstrong (18th) and Shawn Morimando (19th) all received bonuses in excess of six figures. Lindor and Haase immediately gave the system two potential impact bats at premium defensive positions, and there is no reason to believe at this point in time that either one of them will have to move to another position. While he has yet to begin his professional careeer, Howard has a power profile with two legitimate strikeout pitches, and the Indians have been wise to carefully monitor the progress of their young arms. Big-bodied junior college right-handed pitchers Jake Sisco (third) and Anderson, as well as fellow righties Steven Sides (12th) and Armstrong from the college ranks all have power profiles on the mound giving the organization intriguing pitching depth in the lower levels of the system. The team continued to show its preference for college players after their first two picks, adding catcher Jake Lowery (fourth), outfielder Bryson Myles (sixth), third baseman Jordan Smith (ninth) and second baseman Zack MacPhee (13th). All four players have enjoyed solid statistical success at the plate at the college level while showing an advanced approach at the plate, and could make up nearly half of the team's everyday lineup at the Low A level to open 2012. Top 10 Prospects 1. SS Francisco Lindor - Baseball-reference player profile Lindor's stock as a high school senior last year had some serious helium, with some reports that he could go second overall to the Mariners after putting on a show in front of the team's front office staff as part of a pre-draft workout. The Indians heavily scouted Lindor all spring, but as the draft approached they never thought they had a chance to take him. He is the type of player that makes the game look easy, with quick feet and good range at shortstop to go along with a solid arm, as well as a quick bat at the plate with surprising pop given his 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame. A switch-hitter, he shows good bat speed and a solid approach from both sides the plate, and can drive the ball to the gaps. While not too much should be put into him winning the home run derby as part of the 2010 PG/Aflac All-American Classic, it is indicative of his ability to hit the ball over the fence. Lindor signed right at the mid-August deadline like most other first-round picks, and made his professional debut in the New York-Penn League. He showed enough polish there to warrant a full season placement at the team's Low A affiliate in the Midwest League to open the 2012 season, and as long as he continues to hit, his defense at shortstop isn't going to slow down a potentially quick trip up the ladder. 2. RHP Dillon Howard - Baseball-reference player profile Howard joined Lindor on the 2010 PG/Aflac All-American squad, as his arm strength has been a known commodity for quite some time, with the ability to reach the mid-90s since his sophomore year in high school. His strong, durable build allows him to routinely sit in the 90-94 range during games, and also should allow his to sustain the rigors of a long, professional season as he continues to build stamina thanks to his natural strength. In addition to his fastball velocity, he commands the pitch well, and shows good feel for a breaking ball that he's able to add and subtract off of, ranging between a true overhand curveball and a sweeping slider. He hasn't needed a changeup much up to this point of his career, and the development of that pitch is something that should come with professional experience. Represented by the Boras Corporation, many believed Howard was a candidate to honor his commitment to Arkansas, and when he slipped out of the first round that belief seemed validated. It took the Indians $1.85 million to steer him away from college, which is the equivalent of mid first-round money, which is where he was expected to be selected on talent alone. It will be interesting to see where the Indians have him make his professional debut to open 2012. Low A Lake County would be a little surprising, but not out of the question. 3. OF Luigi Rodriguez - Baseball-reference player profile The Indians sent Rodriguez straight to the Arizona League to begin his professional career in 2010 after signing him the summer before. Depsite his youth and overall need for experience, he has proved to be a quick learner, showing an eagerness to learn and improve, making his athletic tool-set that much more exciting to project. His speed is the best of those tools, a legitimate threat on the basepaths that also can cover a lot of ground in centerfield. Rodriguez has also shown the ability to make adjustments at the plate as a switch-hitter. There isn't much power in his swing right now, but that should come as he continues to add strength, and his speed allows him to stretch extra-base hits when he drives the ball to the gaps. After opening the year in the Arizona League, he showed he wasn't completely overmatched when the Indians aggressively moved him up to Low A Lake County to close out the season. A return to the Midwest League is likely, where he could be poised to establish himself as one of the circuit's more exciting players. 4. SS Ronny Rodriguez - Baseball-reference player profile The Indians were even more aggressive with their initial placement of Ronny Rodriguez than they were with Luigi (not related), having him begin his career with Lake County at the Low A level. Although Ronny did so at the age of 19, also out of the Dominican Republic, he too showed that he was not completely overmatched. What he did show was a reliable glove from the middle infield and strong range to both his left and right. His power output was somewhat surprising, particularly in a league that typically suppresses power, as he hit 28 doubles, seven triples and 11 home runs, slugging .449. A lot of that power comes from an overly aggressive approached, as he only walked 13 times in just under 400 plate appearances. His bat speed is impressive, and he shows the ability to take the extra base with more quickness than straight-line speed. While he could stand a little more seasoning in Low A, he likely will have to be moved up to make room for not only Francisco Lindor, but also Tony Wolters, and gives the Indians impressive depth at the position. 5. LHP Nick Hagadone - Baseball-reference player profile Acquired from the Red Sox along with Justin Masterson in exchange for Victor Martinez in 2009, the 26-year old Hagadone has progressed slowly but surely toward the big leagues. Once a starter, short relief was always believed to be in his future, a permanent move the Indians made with him in 2011. He took to the switch well, improving his control while maintaining the velocity on his mid-90s fastball and sharp slider. He benefits from not having to pace himself, and could eventually mature into the Indians closer. He finished last season with the big league Indians, although could return to AAA to gain a little more seasoning before making the final jump. The Indians already have quite a few arms competing for a job in the bullpen, so Hagadone's own development may benefit from a return to Columbus where he at least can receive regular innings. 6. SS Tony Wolters - Baseball-reference player profile Wolters personifies leadership on the baseball field, and that attribute alone could place him on the Indians top prospect list. A very good defensive player who received the Rawlings Gold Glove Award as part of the 2009 PG/Aflac All-American Classic, he shows very polished actions up the middle of the baseball diamond. While his arm strength may necessitate a move to second base down the road, his range and quick release allow him to get to more balls to throw out baserunners than most. He was also named the MVP of the Classic, showing an equally quick swing at the plate to go along with a patient, line drive approach in which he looks to go up the middle and the other way. While power isn't a significant part of Wolters' game, he can surprise you from time to time by his ability to drive the ball. He's at his best working the count and getting on base, where he has enough speed to serve as a base-running threat. Lindor's addition to the franchise will make Wolters' placement to open the 2012 interesting, as they could find themselves as an exciting double-play combo up the middle for Lake County if Wolters is shifted to second. 7. RHP Chen Lee - Baseball-reference player profile Lee's situation is similar to Hagadone's in that he split 2011 between AA and AAA (although didn't get a late season call-up to Cleveland) and projects as a reliever. In fact, every appearance Lee has made since signing out of Taiwan in 2008 has been out of the bullpen. He has a sinker/slider profile, with the ability to run his fastball up to the mid-90s, but typically throws in the 89-91 range. His fastball has good sink as he throws from a low three-quarters delivery, which also makes him especially tough on right-handed hitters. His slider allows him to keep left-handed hitters honest as well. Again like Hagadone, cracking the Indians' bullpen out of spring training may be difficult, and he doesn't have the added benefit of being left-handed. He's yet another short relief arm in a system that shouldn't have too many bullpen concerns over the next few years. 8. RHP Felix Sterling - Baseball-reference player profile Sterling is another example of the team's newfound dedication to their scouting and player development efforts in Latin America, and after spending all of 2010 with the team's Arizona League team, he was bumped up to Low A after continuing to show promise in Arizona to open 2011. With a strong and sturdy, compact build at 6-foot-3, 200-pounds, Sterling has a power profile with a knack for missing bats. Over his first 119 professional innings, he has struck out 123 batters, showing solid control by walking 53 batters during that same time. His fastball is his best pitch, sitting comfortably in the low-90s with the ability to touch 94-96. His breaking ball and changeup both show promise, although he needs to improve both the break and location of both pitches as he progresses. The Indians will likely be patient with Sterling's development, who should return to Lake County at 19-years of age to open the 2012 season. 9. LHP Elvis Araujo - Baseball-reference player profile Araujo made a successful return to pitching in 2011 after missing all of 2009 and 2010 after having Tommy John surgery. He went 9-1 with a 2.86 ERA in 13 appearances in the Arizona League prior to receiving a late season promotion to the New York-Penn League, where he could return to open the 2012 season. There's plenty to like with Araujo as a 6-foot-6, 215-pound lefty who sits in the low-90s and the ability to touch a few ticks higher. Both his breaking ball and changeup need to be refined, but both pitches show enough promise to give him one of the higher ceilings in the Indians' system. The further Araujo distances himself from Tommy John surgery the more scouts will feel comfortable with his development and his future potential. The Indians could aggressively place him in the Midwest League to open 2012, where he could join most of the organization's top prospects, giving them an impressive wave of talent to watch over the next two to three years. 10. LHP Scott Barnes - Baseball-reference player profile In a system full of projected relievers but short on Major League ready starters, Barnes could provide valuable depth at the AAA level in 2012. The jury is still out on Barnes' eventual role, as he still needs to consistently throw his slider for strikes while honing his changeup to become a reliable option every fifth day at the big league level. However, he enjoyed a successful 2011 season in a starting role spent mostly at the team's AAA team in Columbus after struggling for two seasons at Cleveland's AA Akron affiliate. He does have the ability to sit in the upper-80s to low-90s with his fastball, approaching the mid-90s at times in the early innings of games when he's at his best. A lanky 6-foot-4 lefty, repeating his mechanics hasn't been easy for Barnes in the past, but things seemed to come together for him last year. At 24-years old, he will benefit from more refinement at the AAA level, and like many of the other players listed above, could provide stability to a big league team that has playoff aspirations in 2012. Others in the conversation: RHP Austin Adams, C Eric Haase, SS Jorge Martinez, RHP Zach McAllister, SS Dorssys Paulino, RHP Jake Sisco.

Extrication for the EMT?
I hope everyone's summer went well. You know we tend to do less training in the summer, due to the heat, vacations and other family things.

Extrication: Do We Really Train Enough?
The million-dollar question, do we really train enough in vehicle extrication? In our minds, most of us would say yes. In reality, the answer is probably no. Can we truly train enough? We could if extrication was the only responsibility we had in fire, rescue and EMS. But we know that most of us have many more responsibilities than just extrication. ... -

Big Truck Extrication - Part 2: Assessment and Stabilization
Sometimes I wonder if rescuers realize just how many trucks are actually on our highways traveling each and everyday. My wife and I took a trip out west last Spring to see the Grand Canyon.

Big Truck Extrication - Part 3: The Extrication
In the last two articles we have looked at how trucks are constructed, the types of trailers they may be pulling, the tremendous weights that may be involved, the hazards that come from dealing with large trucks, assessing and approaching these types of crashes, and how to look at some basic stabilization methods. Now we are going to look at some ... -
Lifting and Stabilizing: Proper Use of Buttress Systems
When we look at stabilization we need to consider taking that extra "few" seconds to access our scene and vehicles, and what it will take to properly stabilize the vehicles involved. We talked about some of the basic wood and plastic cribbing as well as the types of movement we are trying to prevent. I want to look at utilizing the ... -

Fox Builds Claim Of Clinton Dishonesty On Omissions And Falsehoods
Fox News suggested that Hillary Clinton was lying during congressional testimony about the Benghazi attack by cropping her comments and hyping baseless claims made by a discredited GOP activist. Fox News hosts also dredged up the misleading claim that Clinton dismissed the importance of Benghazi in her testimony.
On America's Newsroom, co-host Bill Hemmer hosted Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to attack Clinton over Benghazi. During the segment, Hemmer reported on a baseless claim [1] by lawyer and GOP activist Joseph diGenova that the administration is trying to cover up the theft of 400 surface-to-air missiles that were somehow linked to the Benghazi compound. DiGenova, who made these claims during an interview [2] with the Washington, DC-area show Mornings on the Mall, could not name his sources, acknowledged that some of his information is not "verifiable," and provided no evidence to back up the allegation. More generally, diGenova is just not a credible source [3]. Along with his wife, Victoria Toensing, he has donated extensively to Republican candidates and causes, and has a long history of investigating Democrats and defending Republicans, having been accused of lacking "impartiality, non-partisanship, and professionalism."
Hemmer contrasted diGenova's dubious allegation with a cropped clip of Clinton's January 23 congressional testimony in which she denied knowledge of weapons transfers from Libya to Turkey. Hemmer asked Paul whether Clinton was "not telling the truth":
Fox's attack is based on selectively cropping Clinton's comments. During her congressional testimony, Clinton was asked by Paul, "Is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?" Fox played a portion of her response, in which Clinton denied having any knowledge of a weapons transfer.
Below is the full transcript [4] of her response to Paul's question in the January 23 hearings, with the portion that Fox omitted highlighted:
PAUL: Now, my question is: Is the U.S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?
CLINTON: To Turkey? I -- I will have to take that question for the record. Nobody's ever raised that with me. I don't...
PAUL: It's been -- it's been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that they may have weapons. And what I'd like to know is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons? And were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included.
CLINTON: Well, Senator, you'll have to direct -- direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. I will -- I will see what information is available and...
PAUL: You're saying you don't know.CLINTON: I do not know. I don't have any information on that.
The omission is crucial to Fox's accusation that Clinton was being dishonest. As the portion of Clinton's response that Fox did not air makes clear, the annex that Paul identified was not under State Department control, and therefore not part of Clinton's purview. Reporting following the attack identified [5] the annex as a C.I.A. outpost, explaining Clinton's response that further questions about the annex should be directed to "the agency that ran the annex."
Fox's attack wasn't limited to deceptive cropping of Clinton's comments. On Fox & Friends earlier in the day, guest host Eric Bolling also used diGenova's claims to attack Clinton, saying: "Go back to when Hillary Clinton said 'what difference does it make at this point?' I'll tell you what difference it makes now. Because now Al Qaeda may have 400 surface-to-air missiles, that we don't know where they are, or they could be targeting our passenger airplanes. It matters, and when she said that she kind of tried to put that story behind her. She said let's move on, four dead Americans, at this point what does it matter? It matters a lot because we don't want 4000 more dead Americans."
Bolling's attack is a distortion of Clinton's comments responding to Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-WI) questions about who had been responsible for editing administration talking points that were drafted after the attack. Bolling implied that Clinton was downplaying the consequences of the attack, but the context [4] of her comments makes it clear that she was dismissing the highly politicized [6] witch [7] hunt [8] from members of the GOP and right-wing media:
CLINTON: With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they would go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the-the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The I.C. has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out.
But, you know to be clear, it is from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it, than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we'll figure out what was going on in the meantime.

I am so sorry to hear about this, that is just awful.
Maybe you should think of it this way, you can now take this opportunity to change the things about the old set-up that you did not like, but could not change before. Maybe a tank up-grade as well ???

text: MARIETTA, Ga. -- After a rough first day, Yankees Corozal acquired their fifth victory on Tuesday leaving them 5-1 overall with just one pool game left. The Yankees defeated Team Elite 15u Black 7-1 after a six-run rally in the fourth inning. This was a big win for the Yankees since the Elite had also had a 4-1 record going into the game. "The kids did what they were supposed to do and we came out with a victory," said head coach Eliud Reyes. Yelnie Rivera pitched a solid five innings giving up only one run and two walks. He struck three out. Rivera is the Yankees "top prospect pitcher," according to Reyes. Luis Rodriguez was able to hold the Elite at one run during his time on the mound in the sixth inning. The Yankees also did well at the plate. They scored six runs in the fourth inning securing their lead. Luis Gomez went 2-for-3 on the day with two singles. Gomez, Juan Ortega, Kevin Davila and Felix Baez all got hits in the fourth inning. The Yankees came all the way from Puerto Rico to give it their all. "(We wanted) exposure for our kids. This is the best tournament in the nation so we had to be here," said Reyes. For their first time competing in a Perfect Game event as a team, the Yankees are doing pretty well. They lost their first game to the Charlotte Megastars but have won every game since. "We had a bad first day," explained Reyes, "The kids just got off the plane basically and were a little startled, so we've been having to fight back." Reyes mentioned shortstop Baez and second baseman Christian Reyes as some of his team's top prospects. Baez has made no errors in the field throughout this tournament and has 15 putouts. Christian Reyes has only made one error and has 12 putouts. Angel Garcia has a .529 batting average and already has a home run under his belt. "(Garcia) has been killer in this tournament," said Reyes. Reyes is hoping that his entire team can lead them to a victory in Wednesday's game against the Dulin Dodgers 15u. The Yankees are now second in their pool behind the Dodgers who are 6-0. If the Yankees defeat the Dodgers, both teams will have a 6-1 record. Perfect Game tournament playing rules explains that if two teams in a pool are tied, the head to head winner will advance to the playoffs. Coach Reyes said he is "not at all" worried about the game on Wednesday. "If the kids do their job then we will come out with a victory."

As disgraced former state Sen. and City Councilman Hiram Monserrate prepares to face sentencing for fraud convictions that could put him behind bars for up to 40 years, the girlfriend who he was found guilty of assaulting is still standing by her man.
"I know that Hiram has made mistakes," Karla Giraldo, who Monserrate assaulted in 2008, wrote in a letter to Manhattan Federal Judge Collen McMahon last month. "We all have[.] I have made some myself. I would ... like you to know that he is the kindest men [sic] I have known."
Monserrate and Giraldo made headlines in 2008 for an incident in which Giraldo's face ended up slashed and video footage showed Monserrate pulling her by her arm down the stairs and through the hallway of his Jackson Heights apartment building. Monserrate received a misdemeanor assault conviction in 2009 for the crime that ended up with his being booted from the Senate — where he represented East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Corona — in February 2010.
He ran afoul of the courts again later in 2010 when he was hit with charges of allocating $300,000 of the discretionary funding he received as a councilman in 2005 and 2006 to the Corona-based nonprofit Latino Initiative for Better Resources and Community Empowerment Inc., then using $109,000 of the funds in 2006 to pay LIBRE employees to work on his failed Senate campaign against incumbent Sen.-John Sabini.
Prosecutors contended Monserrate also used the employees to conduct a drive of registered voters in the district in 2006 and withheld the database from the state Board of Elections until the last minute, giving him an unfair advantage.
LIBRE held English classes, helped with immigration matters, held job placement programs and offered health education services. Monserrate had a major hand in choosing its staff and board of directors.
In May Monserrate pleaded guilty to mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud in the LIBRE case. Both charges carry a jail term of up to 20 years.
Giraldo dated Monserrate again after a Queens Supreme Court justice reduced her order of protection against him in July 2010.
In recent years she has maintained that Monserrate only slipped and fell with glass in his hand and had only been pulling on her because she did not want to go to the hospital. She described Monserrate in her letter as a good father to his autistic son, Gabriel, and a helper to his mother, Hilda, who is battling cancer.
"Hiram has always been very very good to me and has never [been] hurtful to me," Giraldo wrote.
About 15 other letters defending Monserrate were also submitted to the court. Writers included Hilda Monserrate, former Flushing District Leader Martha Florez-Vasquez, former colleagues of his at the NYPD and community members who said Monserrate had helped them during his time in public office.
Monserrate's sentencing date is Dec. 11.

Place it your hallway to hang up coats and hats or in the bathroom to hang up towels - its the perfect two-in-one design. This mirror will use strap hangers and can be fixed to ether a brick wall, using steel screws, or a cavity wall, using cavity bolts. Never hang this mirror on a damp wall. Drill holes into the wall at a slight downward slope and secure with 5mm of the screw still showing. Ensure the fixings are strong enough to support the weight of the mirror. Hang the strap directly on to the screw head and your mirror should now be hung securely on the wall; under no circumstance should you use a cord, wire or chain to hang.

Names I liked when I was younger would probably be called trendy now, two that stick at the forefront of my mind are Ruby and Roxy which I like from a very young age. When I was younger I was easily influenced by characters on television programmes that I watched, if I liked the character I would like the name. Nowadays though I have broadern my horizons in terms of names and am starting to like older names, Roberta and Erika being two of my favs at the moment. I was never really interested as boys names as a kid, one name that I was in love with for many years though was Brady - lord knows what I was thinking!

When I was 16, my top two were Audrey & Sebastian.
I still love them both, but Audrey got really popular. Popularity doesn't bother me in itself, but I saw in on peoples' lists with names like Addison, Peyton and Alexa... that's not the vibe I get from Audrey, so that ended up disappointing me.
Sebastian is a name I'd totally use, but I had a family member named Sebastian and things went south with that part of the family (super messy divorce, really messed up stuff going on there), so I just think it'd be a bad call on my part to use it.
My top 2 right now are Edmund & Seraphine. Edmund has been topping my list since I was 8 years old and my grade 3 English teacher read us "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".
I'm not really sure where Seraphine came from. My art prof mentioned her daughter, Seraphina, last semester and hearing it 'in real life' really struck me. My SO is really pushing for a French name, so that's when Seraphine came to the forefront.
I've been keeping name lists since I was about 5 years old, though, so this is just a super small sampling.
When I was in middle school I loved names like Jorie, Kendra & Sloane; Michael, Travis & Jacob. At that point, I liked girl names that were boyish and kewl and 'unique', and for boys, I liked the names of boys I had crushes on, hahahah.Lucia

In my old baby name book that I got when I was probably around twelve or so, there was a place to list your top five names for each sex. This is what I had listed:
Flashforward a couple of decades, and this is what the list would look like now:
So, some differences, but still mostly the same style, I think. And I still really love all the names on the old list, even if they're not my absolute favorites anymore.Proud mother to William "Liam" Balthazar, Catherine "Cate" Ophelia, Veronica "Vera" Seraphine, and baby number four, arriving September 2017 to complete our family!
