LOS ANGELES -- Riviera Country Club continues to confound tournament host Tiger Woods, who will not win his hometown event and the one he now hosts, extending the run to 14 times -- the most of any event he has not won.
Woods still has work to do on Sunday to try to salvage something from a lost week, while Rory McIlroy will attempt to win in his first start as the newly crowned No. 1 golfer in the world. Here are a few things to watch during the final round of the Genesis Invitational:
1. Is Tiger hurting?
Woods admitted he felt stiff Saturday, and this is part of the deal for him at age 44 and having endured four back surgeries. The difference now compared with earlier times is that he knows better than to push through his issues. And that helps explain why he is skipping next week's WGC-Mexico Championship.
That tournament appeared to be a lock on his schedule, and it was a surprise he was skipping it, leading to all kinds of conjecture. He tied for 10th in Mexico City last year despite a poor putting week. With a more complete game now, the feeling was he might be able to do some damage there.
What Woods didn't say is that the idea of playing four times in five weeks -- the likely number had he entered Mexico -- was not appealing. He looked tired, and at times played that way during a third-round 76, his highest competitive score in six months.
And so it remains to be seen if he adds the Honda Classic or the Arnold Palmer Invitational -- not both -- before playing the Players Championship. If he then plays the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, at which he tied for fifth a year ago, that would be five starts prior to the Masters -- just like in 2019.
"That's the fun part of trying to figure this whole comeback,'' he said. "How much do I play, when do I play, do I listen to the body or do I fight through it? There are some things I can push and some things I can't.''
There were plenty of good reasons to go to Mexico, not the least of which was a shot at victory in a limited-field event on a course on which he had a good result despite not playing that well. But he appears to be taking the cautious approach, and it is hard to argue with that.
Woods is tied for 63rd and 15 shots back of the leaders.
2. Scott's resurgence
Adam Scott is playing for the first time in 2020 after winning the Australian PGA Championship in December. That was his first world-wide victory in more than three years, and he's going on four years without a win on the PGA Tour.
He has put himself in position at Riviera with rounds of 64 and 67 after a slow start and a 72 on Saturday. In 2005, Scott won at Riviera in what was an unofficial victory because the tournament was shortened to 36 holes. He calls it one of his favorite courses on tour.
"I should probably say that about more courses on tour, but it really is,'' he said. "I enjoy coming here very much, and I just feel the course ... there's nothing too tricky to it. I just feel my game matches up well for it, so I look forward to it every year.
"The only unfortunate thing about it is it's usually my first tournament of the year, and I'm going to have to find some other favorites later this year.''
Scott is among the top 5 through 54 holes for the first time on the PGA Tour since last year's Memorial.
3. Final-group firepower
Scott will be joined by McIlroy and Matt Kuchar in the final threesome Sunday at Riviera. All are tied at 203, 10 under par. And combined, they have 40 PGA Tour victories and more than $155 million in official PGA Tour earnings.
4. Solidifying the No. 1 spot
McIlroy continues to impress. In three previous starts this season on the PGA Tour, he has been in the top 3, with a tie for third at the Zozo Championship, a win at the WGC-HSBC Champions and a tie for third at the Farmers Insurance Open. Now, he's tied for the lead at a course on which he is making his fourth start and tied for fourth last year.
"I think any tournament that you haven't won is one that you'd love to win and add it to your list, but especially here, the history here and the greats that have won here,'' McIlroy said. "It's such a cool place, cool golf course. I would love it to host a major [championship] again one day. When they get the setup right here, it's one of the best we play.''
5. Big day ahead for Varner
Harold Varner III slipped into the second-to-last group Sunday after playing in the final group Saturday. One of five African American golfers on the PGA Tour, Varner is seeking his first victory in his 126th career start. But this is the first cut he has made in five starts this season. The recipient of the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption at the tournament in 2014, it would a fitting place for him to get his first win.
"The biggest thing for me is just to keep a good attitude,'' Varner said of being in contention after having not having made a cut this season. "I still love playing golf. It's not the end of the world, so I've always tried to have that perspective. I had been playing pretty well, so I was just excited to be here, to be where I am, to see the weekend for the first time. So I got that monkey off my back.''
Varner wobbled a bit on the back nine Saturday, making three bogeys in four holes before coming back to birdie the last hole to shoot 69.

I loved grape soda as a child, and more than once have lamented the lack of diet options.
How about a liquored up one?
Henry's Hard Grape is all grown up — 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, as you can see — with cool retro branding.
I appreciate both.
I was curious enough to buy a six-pack, and it's pretty tasty. But my diet soda sensibilities are offended by the cane sugar. To this day, it's hard for me to drink anything with calories.
Those six hard sodas are gonna last me a good long time.

If you haven't started watching Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, or are in the midst of the series, don't worry —
There are no spoilers here. Just one question (and kind of a tangential one at that).
Do bicycles not have kickstands anymore?
We see Clay Jensen ride around town as he tries to solve the show's central mystery, and he throws his bike down on the ground like an unloved toy. He has bounced that thing off of cement, buildings, trees — you name it — and it's been shoved into a lot of car trunks, too.
That bike gets no respect.
I have to think a kickstand would be a major improvement. But perhaps they just aren't cool in 2017.
I don't know….I may need 13 reasons way.

SPOILER AHEAD — Do not read before viewing the March 22nd episode.
Okay, that's done.
This season of The Americans has been grim, even by their standards. It has also been sadly sex-free due to its focus on Paige and our favorite spies' campaign to recruit a Russian defector by befriending his son.
Sometimes it feels like an episode of Pretty Little Comrades.
So imagine my excitement at the halfway point when they gave us a glimpse of Martha shopping the sparse shelves of a grocery store in Russia!
And that was all of her — no other scene, mention or clue.
Geez, guys, couldn't you have ended the show with that scene? Everybody loves a cliffhanger.

Vandy, take heart —
You're not the first team to lose a NCAA tournament game in the final seconds because of a brain fart.
Ignore the histrionics of the play-by-play announcers. Turn off the post-game shows. Consider hypnosis?
I'm old enough to remember a really big blunder that kept the storied Michigan Fab Five out of the Final Four. It was way back in 1993 before the Interwebs.
Michigan vs. North Carolina in the Elite Eight. North Carolina up by 2 with 11 seconds to go. Trapped on the sidelines, Michigan star Chris Webber called a time out that they simply didn't have, and got dinged with a technical foul. North Carolina went on to win the game and ultimately the national title.
Sure, I remember that brain fart to this day, but Vandy — your game was just a first-rounder. There are plenty of bracket busters ahead that will inspire much more ire.
Take heart.

"What have you got?" Detective Peterson asked the medical examiner when he arrived at the factory.
"An employee found her boss dead on the floor when she arrived to work this morning."
"Got a cause of death yet?"
"So far it appears to be an accident, but I'll know more after the autopsy. My best guess is that he tripped on a large spool of thread and fell headfirst into a spooling machine."
"Any witnesses?"
"Isn't that what you're here for, detective?" He stood up. "Need anything else from me?"
"Nope. Looks like you've got this case all sewn up."

Amy is unimpressed when Brenda tries to give her advice on Kerry, as she is determined to put her mum behind her. Soon afterwards, Brenda answers the phone in the B&B to one of Kerry's friends, telling Amy that it sounded serious. Later, Amy is floored when Brenda and Eric tell her that Kerry is in hospital in a diabetic coma after going out on a drinking session. They're all shocked when Amy declares that she doesn't care if her mum lives or dies. Brenda tries to put on a brave face, but feels left out when Eric and Val unite as they go and look for Amy. Chatting to Victoria, Amy feigns disinterest - but it's clear she is torn about Kerry and is obviously conflicted when Val later explains the seriousness of the situation. Meanwhile, Victoria brings Andy's lunch box round to Butler's Farm, trying to pretend that she's not bothered about what Alex gets up to. However, Andy catches Victoria out when his sandwich box is empty and knows it was just an excuse for her to see Alex. Later, Moira tries to clear the air with Alex, telling him how desperate Victoria is to get him back. She is amused by his cheek and has a twinkle in her eye as she teases him. Elsewhere, Jimmy has worked all night on the Strikes tender but Carl thinks he's wasting his time, Charity and Rishi have a successful meeting with Bill from Strikes, while David is worried when he gets a call from kids' club saying that Jacob has been in a fight.

Purgatory – Last night a group of wild Christian women blew up an abortion clinic in western Nevada. The group of Christians called Angry Christians Against Dead Babies is run by a faction of devout emotionally charged women – claiming to preserve unborn babies rights.
The attack was deadly. According to reliable – and I mean reliable – sources, the emotionally charged Christian women stormed into an abortion clinic with baseball bats screaming Allahu Akbar at the tops of their lungs. Survivors of the attack say the emotionally charged women were overweight, wearing no bras and had blood stains on their crotch due to their perceived menstrual cycle.
The attackers first took their baseball bats and started swinging them at patients. One woman said she was hit on the head by a bat – immediately getting knocked out. After beating everyone with baseball bats, the women started taking shits on all of the abortion equipment. "It was completely disgusting", said a bystander. Finally, to finish off the shit-fest, the emotionally charged Christian women took their pants off and wiped their bloody crotch on the ground like a dog wipes its ass on the ground to get rid of tapeworms.
To finish off the barbaric attack, the emotionally charged women made a prayer circle around the bloody shit mess they created – proceeding to blow themselves and the building up in the process. 983,073 people were killed. This was the most deadly terrorist attack ever seen by the likes of men.
So many people have died that horrific evening that there are plans to tear down the Vietnam Wall – replacing it with the Crazy Emotionally Charged Christian Women Wall. Notable celebrities who died in the horrific attack to be included but not limited to are as follows:

User-generated content (UGC) is any form of content that was created by a brand's consumers or by the users and not the owner of the platform. UGC can come in many different forms including tweets, images, reviews, videos, comments, etc. A brand can simply share a user's photo or review, or create an entire marketing strategy that encourages consumers to generate content. In other words, user generated content is companies taking the best user content from around the web and featuring it on their social media and giving credit to the original creator.
Why is UGC is effective and significant for brands?
User-generated content is a very powerful form of content marketing. It saves marketers and copywriters time on content creation, adds brand trust, increases engagement, and creates better affinity for the brand overall. User generated content is important for brands because it is engaging, relatable, more memorable, and builds social proof.
1: Allows brands to directly build and engage with an online community:
Consumers want to feel heard by a brand. UGC engages customers because it directly invites them to be a part of the story. It allows real people to tell their real stories. They can describe their experience and opinions. It gives people a way to express themselves and talk directly to the brand.
2: The content is more relatable and memorable:
In a recent study by Yotpo have shown that UGC is more memorable than other sources. It becomes directly relatable for other consumers allowing them to remember the content more easily. It has been reported that millennials find UGC content 35% more memorable than other sources, rivaled only by TV video ads, the previously undefeated champions of memorability. UGC is more memorable because it does not seem professional or 'ad'; like. Instead, it captures moments from other like minded people. People enjoy seeing moments from other individuals online.
*Image from Ipsos MediaCT's ebook, Social Influence: Marketing's New Frontier.
3: User-generated content is authentic and builds a social proof.
The psychology of social proof: People care about what other people say. More and more people are looking for reviews for everything. From purchasing a product to trying a new restaurant, to picking out a new doctor; people trust other people's opinions. People tend to look for the proof of the masses to prove something's worth; people assume the actions of others. From a business standpoint, with UGC consumers can see how others are engaging with your brand and using your services. They too can then share a passion for your brand. People appreciate that the content created, or images taken are taken by everyday people just like themselves.
How can my practice implement this?
There are many different ways to engage your consumers in user generated content. Before you start encouraging user generated content there are many ways to encourage your clients to generate content, some include contests, branded hashtags, in office pictures, or give incentives. With all of these strategies remember to make it easy for the users, make it fun, and share their content on your social platforms giving the original user credit. You can create a campaign that encourages UGC using multiple of these examples below too.
1: Contests:
People enjoy having the opportunity to win something. This is a great way to get clients to share pictures or other visual content and get them engaging directly with your practices on your practice's social platforms. Contests can incorporate a lot of different things including having the user tag friends, having the user post their own picture, or even 'caption it' contests. Contests are fun ways to get your audience involved.
2: Branded hashtags:
Hashtags allow users to connect with the brand on a daily basis. Using a branded hashtag allows users to share any content they want but link it back to your brand. They get the possibility of being featured on your social platforms. This also works great for reviews. Encourage clients to leave reviews on your social media, do a #TestimonialTuesday and pull from good reviews and share them on your Branded platforms. People can write reviews that include your branded hashtag and the one for testimonials. Reviews are important for the social proof mindset behind UGC.
3: In Office Pictures:
Have your clients take pictures with the staff or just at the office and post about their experience. This will not only showcase your office but it will also showcase your clients and your in-office personality. Encourage clients to share photos from their visit to the office and check in on social media. This allows others to see the office attitude and personality. They get an insider's view before even stepping in or picking up the phone.
4: Incentives:
People like getting things in return for their 'services.' Incentives do not have to be extravagant, something small and simple such as a shout out on social media, small percent off their next office visit if they participate or even a handwritten thank you card is enough. Incentives allow the user to feel appreciated by the content they have generated and share. This is a great strategy when starting to build your brand up online, and starting out to foster your community engagement.
User-generated content is an effective and engaging way to get your clients involved in your practice outside of the regular visits. Whether your practice is trying to reach new customers or connect with current clients, UGC is essential to your social strategy.

People are usually confused about the payment system of a real estate agent they often think that the broker is getting the payment from the company. Technically this is not true. They are getting paid by the company but the money itself don't originate from there. They are prohibited from getting payment in a form of commission from the client directly. The commission is first paid to the agent's broker who then endorses it to the agent.
Not complicated as it seems.
This priority in the order of payment is complicated mainly due to the real estate license. The license of the real estate must be placed under the real estate broker's license first. To avoid a breach of the contract all agent who deal with real estate business are bound to these rules and regulation.
Buyer broker contract explained.
The agreement between the buyer and his agent is called a buyer broker contract. There are three types of these agreements. The exclusive one that binds the buyer and his agent is the most important one to remember about real estate business. Without owning a commission to a certain agent, you cannot buy a property. The Agent, who want to ensure that they will get their commission, often asks their clients to sign this exclusive contract. This way they can present their clients and focus on their purchase without the risk of losing the profit. Some clients that don't agree to this contract can evade paying the commission to the agent and continue negotiations with the owner of real estate they want to buy. The only reason this agreement exist is to secure agents payment in a form of commission. An Agent that don't have this exclusive agreement signed is not in obligation to show more than one real estate proposition to their clients.
There are rules and regulation to take into consideration when starting a real estate business. The agent's right must be protected as well as the clients. Every agent knows that sometimes seconds make the difference between a closed deal and a lost one. Client's wishes are a top priority objective for an agent that wants to get paid in a form of commission. That is why they maintain constant communication with their clients, updating them on further steps of the plan in purchasing a certain real estate.
Market research.
Researching and constantly monitoring the market is also critical responsibility for agents. It is their job to look for homes that are being sold for a long time that may lose their price. Another technique is to focus on one real estate and notice the increase and decrease in price over the years. Certain older houses that require a lot of investments of the interior or exterior are bound to drop in price to stay on the market. It is the targeted real estate type for clients with lower budgets. A lot of young couples aren't prepared to get large loan credits from their banks. That's why they chose cheaper houses that can be upgraded through investments.
You will probably want to sell your house one day, and you will hire a real estate agent for this. But how much do you know about this job? What is interesting about it? Do you know how hard is it to sell something? What features does an agent need to own? Stay with us and find out and maybe you will become one of the best brokers of all time.
As you may already know, the job of a real estate agent is to sell or rent houses, buildings, lands and properties for their owners. But of course, this is not everything he or she does. Each day at work is different for them, and they always do different tasks. It all depends on the agent's skills, and he may always get a good opportunity or a challenge. Now let's see how does her or his typical day look like?
First of all, an excellent agent has to keep up with all the news and should get some information about activity at the market. A few more tasks that need to be done are researching actively, planning appointments, opening houses and various showings, meeting with clients and so on. There are certainly some important duties such as creating flyers and newsletters and promoting others. What do you think who has to respond to all the e-mails, letters, calls? Who has to update online profiles, blogs, and other pages? Many brokers have their managers who help them with all the work.
An excellent agent also needs to find new clients. He achieves that by marketing himself. There is always so much competition around, and if you do not make an effort and try harder, the market will crash you. If you want to be a successful realtor, you must show yourself as an expert in your job and make everybody call you first. And if you do not know how to do that, we hope that simple words such as billboard, flyer, website, TV and radio will help you. You must be aware of the fact that potential buyers and sellers are everywhere around you, so you must always be ready for action.
Once a realtor meets a buyer or a seller, he needs to know how to work with them. The most important thing is to be able to understand their needs. After this, it is time to do a research, demonstrate your knowledge, take pictures of the land or house that needs to be sold, show the property to a buyer, make an offer, demonstrate your skills, etc. There is a possibility that a broker helps both seller and buyer at the same time, and this is what we call a dual agency.
One more interesting fact is that these agents usually work with others, sometimes in the same office. They get updated in this way and help each other, even if you may think that they are each other's competition. If you want to know more about this job or if you are a potential buyer, make sure you check home buying agency in Brentwood, and you will come out content because this is one of the best agencies.

Baltimore is a city plagued by decades of problems between the police force and the Black people who make up the majority of the community.
After a shocking trial, Detectives Daniel Hersl and Marcus Taylor, two members of the Gun Trace Task Force in Baltimore, were convicted for conspiring together for robbery. The two also faced charges of racketeering conspiracy and racketeering, among others. City leaders are now working to find some good in this embarrassing situation hoping it will spark a new era in the Baltimore Police Department and incite the type of reform that will reinstate the community's trust.
What Baltimore leaders are saying
Several leaders, including Mayor Catherine Pugh, are outraged by what these officers have done.
"The verdict rendered by jurors in this disturbing trial is clearly the right one, given the abundance of compelling and damning evidence," said Pugh in a statement, according to the Baltimore Sun.
"I want all of our citizens to know that I have likewise been appalled by the level of dishonesty and betrayal that these individuals, and others also implicated, perpetrated here in our community."
Pugh also told the community that she had a strong "commitment to changing the culture and practices" of the police department.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Darryl De Sousa strongly condemned the "egregious and despicable acts" that the detectives had committed.
"Our job moving forward is to earn back the trust and response of the community. It will be a process and I understand the doubt, fear and pessimism," said De Sousa in a statement.
De Sousa added that the police department would fight against those who think "they can tarnish the badge and violate our citizen's rights."
How will Baltimore respond?
Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby knows the trial will have long-lasting effects and further deepen the distrust that the community has against the police.
"We must continue to drive out corruption and shine a light on callous criminals that dishonorably wear a badge," she said.
The city is standing by their word. De Sousa has already announced that there will be an investigation into further allegations against other officers brought up during the trial. However, Baltimore area activists want more and have suggested options ranging from more community outreach to rebuilding the police department from the ground up.

The third instalment of the DC Extended Universe is over-extended and unpleasant but has
a great soundtrack and a terrific turn from Margot Robbie.
Bad to the bone: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Margot Robbie
They say that the bad guys are always more fun to play. And to watch. So why not stuff a superhero movie full of bad guys? After all, who would you rather watch? A square-jawed hunk in a red cape and blue tights or a buffed-up, badass Will Smith as Deadshot, "the most wanted hitman in the world"? There's also Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, "a whole lotta pretty and a whole lotta crazy," who dispatches witticisms – and adversaries – with child-like glee. And let's not forget the deadly Captain Boomerang, the fire-throwing El Diablo, the unstoppable, reptilian Killer Croc and the assassin Slipknot. Basically, these guys – all behind bars – are the most dangerous criminals on earth. However, in the wake of Superman's death, intelligence operative Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) reckons that they are mankind's best bet to stave off any imminent threat. So, when a witch runs amok in the subway of Midway City, each prisoner is implanted with a remotely controlled explosive in their neck and told to go kick ass…
Basically a Dirty Dozen (or Savage Sextet) in a parallel universe, Suicide Squad is a big-screen adaptation of the DC Comic and the third instalment in the so-called "DC Extended Universe." Like many of these multi-charactered fantasy-actioners, the film suffers from a severe case of congestion and at times, particularly in the beginning, it's hard to know what the hell is going on. The caption that identifies the facility in which Deadshot is imprisoned is in black on a dark background and is impossible to read. Much of what follows is equally unintelligible. Still, there's much fun to be had amongst the sadistic mayhem, although the film doesn't quite grace the comedic heights of this year's earlier 15-rated fantasy (and unexpected hit) Deadpool.
The star turn is unquestionably provided by Margot Robbie, whose combination of ball-breaking, sex appeal and comic timing repeatedly lifts the film out of its bombastic swagger. When introduced to the deadly, unsmiling swordswoman Katana (Karen Fukuhara), she beams, "She seems nice!" And when the explosive mechanism in the squad's respective necks is revealed, she just marvels, "That's a killer app!" As it happens, Harley's boyfriend is the Joker (Jared Leto), who pops up here and there but doesn't really fit in with the rest of the movie. He's just one more villainous obstacle for writer-director David Ayer to deal with and he's a distraction too far.
The real villain is Cara Delevingne's Enchantress, whose CGI-enhanced powers seem a hard act to combat, particularly as she keeps on turning the citizens of Midway City into pebble-headed killers. But for every over-edited fight sequence, there's a classic rock anthem to paper over the chaos, including a cover of 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' no less. So, even as the film blusters and baffles, it also repeatedly delivers.
Cast: Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne, Karen Fukuhara, Adam Beach, Ben Affleck, Ezra Miller, Common, David Harbour.

karate pajamas, too– Quiet! The student only speaks
when spoken to. Is that understood? Uh, yes. – Yes, sir?
– You will always address me as "Sensei,"
is that understood? Yes, Sensei. These aren't pajamas.
This is a gi. And you'll get one
when you've earned it. All right, are you ready
to begin your training? Yes, Sensei. – What the–
– Hyah! ( groans ) Lesson one, strike first. Never wait
for the enemy to attack. You could have gave me, like,
a warning. Quiet! We do not train
to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here on the street,
in competition, a man confronts you,
he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy.
What is the problem, Mr. Diaz? ( weakly )
There's no problem, Sensei. You punched me,
and I have asthma, so… Not anymore. We do not allow
weakness in this dojo. So you can leave your asthma
and your peanut allergies and all that other
made-up bullshit outside. Is that understood? Yes, but those are real
medical problems. I was– Yes, Sensei, understood. Cobra Kai isn't
just about karate. It's about a way of life. Take that first lesson. Striking first is the
initial step towards victory. Okay, like when
you're at a party – and you see a hot babe.
– Yeah. You don't wait
for some other guy to go talk to her first, do you? I mean, I've never
been to a party, so… Big surprise.
All right, look… striking first is about being
aggressive, all right? If you're not aggressive,
then you're being a pussy, and you don't
want to be a pussy. You want to have balls. Don't you think you're
doing a lot of genderizing? – What?
– Oh, uh, sorry. Don't you think you're doing
a lot of genderizing, Sensei. No, what the hell
are you talking about? Oh, uh, my guidance counselor
says that certain words perpetuate the sexist
world view that can trigger– Quiet! From now on, you won't listen
to your guidance counselor. You're going to listen to me.
Is that understood? – Uh, yes, Sensei.
– Good. Now stop yapping
like a little girl and give me 50 push-ups
on your knuckles. Uh, okay. Yeah. Okay, okay. ( exhales sharply ) All right,
just do some crunches. Don't you have gym class
or something? Yeah. ( door bells jingle ) Howdy, there,
Mr., uh, Lawrence? – It's Sensei.
– Miguel, shut up. What brings you in? Looking to lose that gut
and learn how to kick some ass? No. I'm from the city
health department. This is a list of requirements needed to open up
an exercise studio. This isn't
an exercise studio. This is a karate dojo. Yeah, same deal. Wow. This place needs a lot of work. You're not
open for business, are you? You, you a customer here? No, that's just an illegal
I picked up this morning. He's helping me set up. I don't need
to know about all that. My job is just to make sure
this place is up to code. You don't want
a scabies outbreak like that hot yoga place
over on Tujunga. Wait, so I have to do all
this crap before I even open? No, you need to do all that
to get the certificate that's required
to get the insurance you need to open. But you knew that when
you signed your lease, right? Right, yeah. I'll drop in next week
for another inspection. Huh, cool rattlesnake. It's a cobra. Oh, right, duh. I'm such an idiot. Cobra "Kay." ( door bells jingle )( laid-back music )♪ ♪( indistinct chatter ) ( crowd oohs )( gunfire,
screaming on tablet )Hey, bud, hey. Why don't you check out
that magician over there? He's doing some
pretty amazing tricks. – I'm on level 10.
– All right, come on. All right, you could
play that game anywhere. How about we shoot some hoops?
I'll win you a prize. I'm thirsty. All right, great,
there's a bar right over there. Let's take a walk,
we'll get a couple of sodas. Nah, I'm good.( gunfire,
screaming on tablet )You know, I would have killed to visit a club like this
when I was his age. You know where I had
to hang out in the summer? On a filthy street in Newark– With a broken fire hydrant
next to your Aunt Tessie's. Yeah. What do you say we let
Anthony play with his thing and you and I get
a couple drinks? – ( sighs ) Dirty martinis?
– Yes, ice, ice cold. Perfect. – LaRussos!
– Hey. Hey, you still
kicking that competition? You know it, Isaiah. – How's the Q5 treating you?
– Wouldn't know. This one over here's
been behind the wheel all month, going
back and forth to robot camp. Dad, it's an
AP physics prep course. – Mm-hmm.
– Hey, where's Samantha? I feel like I haven't
seen her all summer. – Oh, she's–she's–
– She's with her grandma. But I'll tell her
that you said hi. – Great.
– Later, LaRussos. Bye. Woman: Here are your drinks. With her grandma?
Yeah, right. Lately I can't get her
to call my mom, – let alone visit her.
– What am I supposed to say? That she's hanging out
with her new friends? All I know is
she should be here. We come to
this party once a year. She gets to see her
stupid friends every day. Someone's in a mood. What's going on with you? Nothing, I'm fine. All right, all right.
You remember that… that guy from my high school
whose car I fixed for free? Yeah, the blonde pretty boy that you beat
in that tournament. Actually, I never
remember calling him "pretty." – Oh.
– But anyway… I'm driving home
from work yesterday, and I pull up to a stoplight,
and I look, and in this strip mall,
I see that he's got– Dad, where
the hell is my drink? Hurry up. You know what? I'm going to
throw him in the goddamn pool. Okay. ( door bells jingle ) Looking good. Make sure you get both sides. And after you're
done with that, you can take care
of these exposed wires. That's going to be
a lot of work. Yeah, but what
does any of this have to do

you're not a sumo wrestler. Those guys have
to wipe their Sensei's asses. ( bottle cap clinks ) So, I, uh, see you were

Creative Way to Engage Seniors
The weather is getting warmer, it is a lovely Saturday, and you stumble upon a great way to spend the afternoon: Let me visit my parent today! Your concern, however, is "What will today's topic of conversation be? What can we talk about? What will prompt them to speak?" You noticed that from the previous visits, your parent is talking less and they seem unmotivated despite how much you try to encourage them.
Many individuals experiencing symptoms of Alzheimer's may be engaging less in conversation and they may seem to be discouraged from participating in activities that would otherwise have a tremendous impact on their quality of life. Yet, it is important to be resilient and keep trying to come up with ways to have your parent express their thoughts, emotions, and feelings - whether it be through words, art, exercise, singing, dancing, knitting, or play.
Last week, we visited a retirement home and spent the beautiful afternoon with elderly residents who had Alzheimer's and were experiencing the symptoms of Dementia. We knew from our previous visits that they did not like to engage much in conversation and they had a difficult time participating in activities regardless of how much they were being prompted to do so. Bearing this in mind, we decided to get a tad bit creative with our visit this time by incorporating art and play.
The results we witnessed were absolutely astonishing! The same individuals who were having a difficult time expressing themselves through words and engaging in conversations were the same individuals who were getting super creative and unleashing their creative and artistic abilities. It is important to recognize that engagement is engagement and expression is expression regardless of how we choose to communicate them. It can take on many forms and does not always have to be limited to conversation. If you are finding that it is difficult to speak with your family members that have Alzheimer's, consider ways to get creative so that they can still be engaged and participate in activities even if they no longer show much interest in having a conversation. Use our success story as an example!
How did we do this? Simple.
We will provide you with the materials and instructions to ensure a fun afternoon with your parent.
- balloons
- paper
- paper plate
- paint [3-4 colours]
- gloves
1. Wear your gloves!
2. Squeeze the paint tubes into a paper plate
3. Slightly blow into the balloon until it resembles the size of a pear.
4. Take the balloon and dip it into the paint
5. Stamp the balloon onto the paper
6. Get creative! Make patterns, use different colours, and showcase your art!
7. Most importantly, have fun!
At Home Care Assistance, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of seniors. We serve all areas of York region, including Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Aurora, North York, Stouffville, Woodbridge, and Thornhill. Aside from our excellent and professional live-in and hourly services, we also love spending time with seniors at retirement homes to engage them and make them more motivated to participate in activities and conversation.

Rob $tone – Okay Okay Okay
March 27, 2017 12:58 pm
Rob $tone parties late into the night in the video for "Okay Okay Okay."
Rob $tone is the hottest product out of San Diego, and he keeps things rolling with another music video. This time, he selects his popular track "Okay Okay Okay" from his "mixtape that should have been an album" I'm Almost Ready.
The video mirrors the song's hazed out party atmosphere. Shot in one night, Rob $tone raps the songs lyricals while partying with bevy of bad women in a San Diego penthouse apartment. While stopping by the HNHH offices one day, $tone previewed the video for us and said they hit up Instagram to recruit fans for the video, and they came out in droves. The result looks like it was a lot of fun to make.

Thai Shrimp Cake Recipe
Thai Shrimp Cake - best Thai shrimp cake recipe loaded with shrimp, red curry, long beans and served with sweet chili sauce. So good!
- 8 oz peeled and deveined raw shrimp, roughly chopped (250 g)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chopped long bean/ green beans (25 g)
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped Thai basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons oil
Sweet Chili Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (65 ml)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoon chopped coriander leaves, cilantro
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Cilantro Sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl and then set aside.
- 2
Spread the shrimp on a plate and chill the shrimp in the freezer for 15 minutes(this can ensures the springy texture of the shrimp cakes). Meanwhile get all your other ingredients ready. Combine the chilled shrimp, red curry paste, egg, fish sauce, sugar and coconut milk in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Mix in the green beans and basil.
- 3
Because different brands of curry pastes have differing amounts of salt you'll want to make a sample shrimp cake first by saute 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a skillet(frying pan). Taste, and if necessary, adjust the seasoning with fish sauce and salt.
- 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. First use 1 tablespoon of the oil to coat the skillet, use a measuring spoon to drop 1 tablespoon of the paste into the skillet. With a damp finger, flatten the paste slightly to about 1/2" thick. Make about 10 of these shrimp patties in the skillet.Cook the cakes until they are golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, make more patties from the remaining paste and cook the same way. Serve with a side bowl of the Sweet Chili Sauce.

As of 2018, the average U.S. monthly cost of internet was around $60, according to Leichtman Research Group. That's a lot of money, especially when you need the internet for most entertainment and communication activities.
So how do you strategically shop for cheaper internet, fit your internet budget and still get a fast connection? (We know, we're all wondering the same thing.) Here are some tips on how to get cheap internet and lower your monthly bill.
How to shop for internet providers
Before you can become a master negotiator, you need to know what your options are and which plans fit your household needs. Take our "What speed do I need?" quiz below and then run a speed test to see what you're currently getting. This will help you determine if your current plan is meeting your needs.
Next, use Allconnect® to see which providers are available in your area. Once you know which providers to choose from, you can start making decisions on specific plans. Additionally, some providers offer low-income internet plans that may be an option if you qualify.
What internet speed do I need?
Here are some other things to consider when shopping for internet providers:
Buy your own modem or router
If you don't intend to move anytime soon, buying your own modem, router or Gateway could help you save on monthly equipment rental costs.
For instance, instead of renting an Xfinity xFI Gateway for a year, you could buy the Xfinity compatible NETGEAR Nighthawk Gateway. It may be a pricey modem and router, but if you intend to keep Xfinity service, buying the Nighthawk and using it for two years costs $40 less than renting the xFI Gateway for two years!
Sign a contract or term agreement
Consider signing a service agreement to save money. For instance, Verizon Fios and Xfinity both currently offer monthly price deals for two-year agreements that give you a lower monthly cost than you get with a no-contract plan.
If you move or choose a new provider in the middle of your term, you could pay a pricey early termination fee, but if you intend to stay in your home for a while, locking in a monthly price for one or two years can guarantee a cheaper internet plan.
Downgrade your plan
You might be able to save money on your monthly internet costs by switching to a lower internet speed or paying for less data per month. The minimum speeds needed for most online activities are actually pretty low.
Whether downgrading is a good idea for your home will depend on:
- What your regular online activities are
- How many household users are online at the same time
- How many connected devices use up bandwidth in your home
- Whether or not you experience slow internet already
If you already notice slow speeds at peak traffic hours or regularly creep too close to your data limit, then downgrading might not be the right option for you.
However, if you're a single person hanging loose in your apartment with 300 Mbps speeds, you might consider downgrading your speeds and saving on your internet bill each month.
Bundle your services
There are definitely pros and cons to bundling your services and it may not be right for everyone. However, if you're already paying for internet, TV and/or home phone separately, you may be able to save some money by bundling these services together under one provider.
Providers are incentivized to offer bundle discounts because 1) they'll get more services from you and 2) you often have to sign a contract to get the bundle rate, meaning they know you'll be a customer for at least a year or two.
Some of the ways bundling may save:
- Discounted pricing on two or more services
- Free installation or waived setup fees
- Speed or channel upgrades
- Bonus features, such as premium channels, included
Keep an eye on hidden fees
If a plan price seems too good to be true, then there's a very strong chance it is. Many providers advertise their plans as "starting at" a certain price and it's not until after you're well into the checkout process that you find out about all of the hidden fees.
Some common hidden internet fees include:
- Equipment rental costs
- Data overage fee
- Late payment fee
- Cancellation fee
- Setup and installation fees
Don't be afraid to ask about fee costs and whether or not any of them can be waived. Often, providers will have incentives, like free installation, for new customers.
How to negotiate your internet bill
Now that you know what things to consider when shopping for internet providers — equipment, speeds, contracts, bundle discounts and more — it's time to use all that information to your advantage. When negotiating your internet bill, knowledge is power.
The first plan you see online or talk to an internet provider about might not be the cheapest one available. It's definitely worth the time to haggle on the phone and be adamant about a more affordable price if it's available.
Often, getting a better price comes down to this: You've done your homework and found a better offer somewhere else, and you're not afraid to leave and sign with another provider to get it.
Some bargaining tips:
- Check out competitor offers and bonuses
- Stay polite and controlled while being persistent
- Double-check everything the representative tells you
- Don't let them sell you on the first offer
Bonus tip for how to get cheap internet: complain when you get lousy service
If you don't get the internet experience or customer service you're expecting, then say something to your provider.
For example, my installation technician never showed up for my Xfinity internet service, so I complained profusely in an online chat. I got free installation the next day, which saved me around $60 after all the hassle.
If your internet service is out for multiple days, ask about a credit statement toward that month, or if you don't get the internet speeds you think you're supposed to, say something to your provider. Remember to take screenshots or recordings of conversations with customer service team members in case any promises get debated later.
By using the tips above, now you know how to get cheap internet and find the most affordable plan in your area. Our internet experts can also help you easily compare internet deals, providers and plans near you.

The unsung journeyman
We remember the famous and the flashy ones in life, not the journeyman who goes to work everyday and makes all the rest happen.
While this is specific to boxing, I think it also is an example of one of the lessons of Heimdall and Hermod: Just Keep Going.
That can mean a lot of things and a lot of training to just "do your job", whatever that may be.

These days it's become mandatory for filmmakers to play a video depicting the hazards of smoking prior to the start of the film. In the upcoming film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola featuring Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma and Pankaj Kapur, producer-director Vishal Bhardwaj has come up with a unique idea to make this public awareness video a bit more creative and interesting without diluting the impact.
It is learnt that Vishal, who was recently on a singing talent hunt show, was so moved by the performances of six of the contestants that he decided to make a song with them that would be used in the background while the statutory warning message against smoking is being displayed. This would help convey the relevant message in a far more entertaining way.
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola releases on Jan 11, 2013.
