Like many Americans, fantasy owners are fond of lottery tickets. Yet instead of hanging around checkout counters frantically scratching away at cards with convoluted premises, owners look for lottery tickets at the end of drafts. Each season, players that were afterthoughts in spring training are acquired either at the end of drafts or through waivers only to deliver extremely valuable production.

GLOSSARY PRIMER: Definitions, benchmarks of terms

The beauty of this paradigm is that unlike the randomness of lottery games, there are some predictive elements in the form of BPIs to assist owners in identifying players with the skills to fuel a breakout/resurgence. To demonstrate, below is the list of 2012's impact lottery tickets:

Jose Altuve6%87%72134$24
Tyler Colvin5%72%164118$19
Chris Davis7%67%16367$20
Alejandro De Aza8%79%88119$22
Carlos Gomez5%76%128128$24
Bryce Harper10%77%129137$21
Garrett Jones6%78%15288$19
Jason Kipnis10%82%76102$23
Adam LaRoche10%76%15768$22
Alex Rios4%85%125118$34
Carlos Ruiz7%87%13552$20
Mike Trout11%75%151145$49

While the sample is intentionally small, it's also instructive. All of these players demonstrated at least one plus skill, but most displayed two or more of the following:

  • 10+ bb%
  • 80+ ct%
  • 100+ PX
  • 100+ Spd

Based on this information, the players that have demonstrated two or more of these skills prior to 2013 are hitters to target late in drafts. To rule out prospecting (Harper is an obvious outlier in every sense), we'll impose two additional criteria:

  • 100 or more career MLB at bats
  • 60% or better playing time projection for 2013

Using the criteria established above, below are the players most likely to go from end gamer to game changer in 2013:

FREE NEWSLETTER: BaseballHQ.com analysis every Friday

Before a shoulder injury wrecked his season, outfielder Chris Young of the A's had turned a strong spring training into a white hot start to 2012. Less than a year later, he finds himself on a new team in a new league, but Young will benefit from the same sturdy blend of bb% and PX that yields solid HR totals. His Spd tailed off in 2012, but he's still only one year removed from a 22 SB/118 Spd performance. Young faces lots of competition for ABs in Oakland, but he has the advantage of being the best defensive CF in the group and the A's have indicated they intend to find ways to keep him in the lineup.

While he was a candidate for regression heading into 2012, the variety of ailments that plagued catcher Alex Avila of the Tigers affected him as much or more so than statistical gravity. Now healthy, Avila isn't even being drafted in many leagues even though he's entering his prime and already has a $19 $R season on his resume. His poor ct% means owners should keep BA expectations realistic, but his terrific bb% and PX offer rare power upside from the C spot. 400 healthy ABs from Avila has the potential to yield a huge profit.

Until he fractured a hamate bone that required surgery in spring training 2011, it looked like outfielder Domonic Brown of the Phillies was on track to becoming the next big thing in Philly. He's struggled since, but the tools are there as Brown displayed plus bb%, ct% and PX in otherwise underwhelming stints in 2011 and 2012. He's flashed solid Spd in the past as well so it's just a matter of putting it all together. Just 25 years old, Brown has been having a fine spring while his primary competition (Delmon Young) is out until at least mid-April after ankle surgery. So the opportunity is now for him to realize his considerable potential.

Speaking of opportunities, an offseason trade to Houston has given outfielder/first baseman Chris Carter his as he's finally in line for some consistent playing time. Carter's ct% keeps his batting grounded, but it's hard not to dream on the HR totals his bb%/PX combination could deliver in 400+ ABs. Carter's move from a negative HR environment in Oakland (which depressed home runs by right-handed batters by 12% to a positive one in Houston (which increases home runs by right handed batters by 7%) only helps in this regard. Carter is far from a sure thing, but his price combined with his power potential makes him a risk worth taking.

Outfielder Tyler Colvin's name should surprise no one, since he is on the list above of 2012's breakout end gamers. Colvin's atrocious plate discipline makes him prone to inconsistent results and will prevent him from repeating last year's BA, but owners shouldn't ignore his intriguing PX/Spd combination. His power production is helped by the fact that he hits half the time in Colorado, and while his .694 career OPS vs. left handed pitching is rough, he's trending in the right direction by posting a .752 OPS against southpaws in 100 ABs last season. Combine his power with the fact that both his SBO & SB% spiked in the 2H and it's not hard to see 25 HR/10+SB upside.

It's not hard to figure out why it took Houston outfielder Justin Maxwell so long to earn regular MLB at bats—he doesn't put the ball in play enough. Yet the Astros were forced to run Maxwell out there virtually every day down the stretch in 2012 and he offset his ct% issues with excellent PX, plus Spd and above average bb%. Maxwell is set to begin the season as a starter for the first time at age 29, and while his poor ct% continues to loom large, he has the tools to deliver a 20/20 season if he can keep his BA acceptable.

Though he didn't make a big impact upon debuting in Milwaukee last season, the future is bright for shortstop Jean Segura. The skills headliners are plenty of ct% paired with terrific Spd. These skills keep his BA floor high, but maintaining (or growing) his bb% is critical to boosting his OBP to the point that he can reach his full SB potential. The good news in that regard is that while he showed very little patience in the minors, his bb% actually improved to league average after reaching the big leagues. He has the starting job and his skills profile very well at the SS position, which means he can deliver immediate value to his owners.

There's a lot to like about Pittsburgh outfielder Starling Marte, but his lack of plate discipline leaves much to be desired. While his lack of bb% is likely to remain a weakness, he has at least shown better ct% in the high minors giving hope for improvement in this area. For these reasons, he's likely to be BA challenged in the short term, yet his solid PX and elite Spd made the trip with him Pittsburgh. His GB% caps his power upside for now, but he runs often so if he can retain his SB% gains then he has 15/30 HR/SB upside in 2013.

A hip injury and spotty playing time all but ruined his 2012, but owners shouldn't forget how effective outfielder Peter Bourjos was for the Angels in 2011. That season, Bourjos showed surprising PX growth that complemented his exceptional Spd. The hip injury sapped his power last season, but he's proven he'll deliver double digit HRs when healthy. And while Bourjos has contact issues, his bb% and Eye have both shown modest improvement for two straight seasons. Owners are best to keep BA expectations realistic, but Bourjos is a strong bounceback candidate that can deliver 10+ HRs while swiping 20+ bags.

While Seattle second baseman Dustin Ackley was a disappointment last season, the talent that excited many owners is still present. Specifically, Ackley takes walks and makes enough contact to fuel an OBP boost that will allow him to utilize his strong Spd on the bases. And though his PX did not develop as expected, he still delivered 12 HRs hitting half the time in an oppressive ballpark. Ackley is 25 years old and has already delivered a season of double digit HRs/SBs even amidst an otherwise brutal season. His combination of skills suggests that better production is ahead.

    Teaching vocabulary

    Today, I had some problems explaining the word "the public" to my elementary students.
    I couldn't use any proper context or story which would have had an Aha effect for the students in that level.
    I must say that I am new in the field and any tip will be appreciated.

    Re: Teaching vocabulary

    Downing Street (where the British Prime Minister's residence is situated) is now closed to the public. Only people with a special pass can walk along this famous street to No. 10.

    The public = ordinary people.

    Smile Problems in Speaking English

    Some Filipino linguists and some other foreign ones would claim that standard Philippine English is legitimate in its own right. What possible problems would standard Philippine English encounter that may slow down its development from being intelligible, comprehensible, and interpretable?

    Could you correct my mistakes in this text, please? Thank you... I need it soon!

    When we made our entrance in that world, that transition world between two other completely different ones, another page of our life was turned. The period between childhood and adulthood was that particular part of our lives during which our feelings were mixed up, where life seemed pink or dark. Indeed, adolescence, that period so dreaded by parents although they had already traveled the same road, is characterized by that emotional game and by high school.
    My beginnings in that new world seemed to be uncertain. Hesitating between two programs, I finally opted, for the IBO one wishing discover every piece of earth that carried our planet, Earth. However, that choice took on a risky character: indeed, I didn’t even know a single person who enlisted (registered) us in that section. Then, I decided to learn from that situation to discover my real personality.
    Never since the very first minutes of my high school journey have I felt blue through my decision. Every day was full of surprises. Not one was like any other. Briefly, the word "routine" didn’t have any logical meaning during those couple of years, which passed so quickly that it was impossible to appreciate their real and entire value. I felt so many feelings with that group, who was part of me for around fifty months, I lived so many different and enriching adventures that I could never forget because they contributed to the human being I am today!

Energy refunds

Getting an energy refund

Are you in credit to your energy supplier? Have you switched but not received a refund from your previous gas and electricity provider? This guide will help you take control of your energy bill.

According to uSwitch research released in 2015, about half of Britain’s households are in credit to their energy suppliers to the tune of £1.1bn collectively: that is an average of £93 per refund.

Take back control of your energy bills with uSwitch!

We make it easy to compare and save up to £512

In addition, in September 2014, the big six energy suppliers agreed to launch the "MyEnergyCredit" campaign aimed at getting any credit back to former customers. An estimated £153m was owed by energy suppliers to former customers, who overpaid before making the move to a rival supplier. If you switched in the past six years while you were in credit, you could be eligible to claim an average of £50 from your previous supplier.

Reclaiming this credit is easier than ever before, now that energy regulator Ofgem has implemented new rules forcing suppliers to reimburse you if you ask - unless there is a good reason not to do so.

This guide will explain how to find out if you’re in credit to your energy supplier, how to get your energy credit refunded and how to make sure your bills are accurate in future. We will also consider how to get back any credit owed by a previous supplier.

If you do decide to contact your current supplier to ask for a refund it is important to note that you need to provide an up-to-date meter reading and discuss your current situation with them. A meter reading from a few months ago won't do.

How can I find out if I’m in credit to my energy supplier?

If you manage your bills online it should be as easy as logging in to check your current account balance.

If you don’t, then simply take a look at your latest energy bill. The bill should tell you how much you are in debit/credit to your gas and electricity supplier.

Are you in energy credit?

It’s worth noting that most of the big six – British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON and ScottishPower – refund customer credit automatically. British Gas and EDF Energy will return any extra credit every 12 months, from the anniversary of the date you took out your direct debit. E.ON will refund any credit higher than £5 and ScottishPower any credit in excess of £75.

What if I'm in credit to my previous supplier?

In September 2014, the big six suppliers - British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON, npower, ScottishPower and SSE - pledged to return the estimated £153m of credit which has built up over the past six years.

The scheme is know as the "MyEnergyCredit" campaign and, according to the official website, is aimed at reuniting customers with any credit balance they had with a previous supplier. The campaign applies to anyone who failed to provide a final meter reading after switching supplier. Of the homes owed money, the average figure owed stands at £50.

You can find more details about contacting your past supplier on our dedicated article.

Why am I in credit? Is my supplier taking too much from my direct debit?

Energy bills, and in particular direct debits, are estimated based on your previous consumption. That means they may be some way off your actual gas and electricity consumption.

To give you an example, if you have a daughter who left for university, but ran an energy price comparison before she left home, your consumption for the following year will be estimated on figures which included your daughter's consumption. With her out of the house, you will in fact be using less energy and will be overpaying on your direct debit.

Don’t worry about losing out on savings though – if your direct debit is too high all you need to do is claim back what you’ve overpaid. You can find out more about paying by direct debit here.

How much could I be owed?

The amount of money you could be in credit by depends on how much you’ve overpaid by. Factors which will influence the total sum you’re entitled to could include a mild winter or long summer. In both these scenarios you may have used less energy to heat your home than you were expected to.

Figures owed will vary greatly and a February 2014 study by uSwitch estimated that half the population was owed an average of £86, but that 260,000 households could potentially claim up to £500 from their supplier.

How can I get an energy refund from my current supplier?

Just ask. If you know you’re in credit and you want the money back, then get in touch with your supplier and ask for a refund. We’ve listed the phone numbers to call under the next question.

A word of warning. Even if you are in credit, it’s a good idea to discuss your balance with your supplier before asking to be refunded. Your direct debit should have been worked out to cover your expenditure over the year. So, although you might be overspending in summer, this should even out in winter. Be wary of asking for a refund of any credit meant to cover your additional winter expenditure.

You should also make sure your credit balance is up to date - even a meter reading issued the previous month should be consideed out of date if you want to claim a refund.

However, if you find yourself more than one month in credit, it’s usually safe to ask for your money back.

How can I get a refund from my previous energy supplier?

Switching energy supplier is a great way to save up to £300 per year on your energy bills. However, if you were in credit when you switched, it’s possible that your previous energy supplier still has some money that belongs to you. Energy suppliers are supposed to give back any money you are in credit by when you switch to another provider, but over the years many have failed to do so.

If you think this might be the case, then check your bank statements, direct debits or energy bills, or just give them a call on one of the numbers listed below (they may ask for some personal details to make sure it’s really you):

  • British Gas (and Sainsbury’s Energy) 0800 048 0202

    Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 8am-6pm

  • EDF Energy 0800 096 9000 (free from landlines)

    Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm, Sat 8.30am-2pm

  • EON 0333 202 4856

    Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 8am-4pm

  • Npower 0800 073 3000 for landlines, 0330 100 3000 for mobiles

    Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 8am-4pm

  • Scottish & Southern Energy (and Atlantic, Southern Electric, Scottish Hydro, Swalec and M&S Energy) 0800 975 1662 (free from landlines)

    Mon-Fri 8am-2pm, Sat 8.30am-6pm

  • Scottish power 0800 027 0072 for landlines, 0345 270 0700 from mobiles

    Mon-Fri 8am-7pm, Sat 8.30am-1pm

Was your previous provider an independent supplier? Reach them with the numbers below:

  • Co-operative Energy 0800 954 0693

    Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 9am-4pm

  • First Utility 0800 011 5168

    Mon-Fri 8am-7pm, Sat 8.30am-2pm

  • Ovo Energy 0800 5999 440

    Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 9am-2pm

  • Utility Warehouse 0333 777 0 777

    Mon-Fri 9am-5.30pm, Sat 9am-4.30pm

What if my supplier refuses to refund me?

If your supplier refuses to refund you and you don't agree with the reasons given you can raise the issue with the Energy Ombudsman.

What can I do to make sure my bills are as accurate as possible?

To avoid being in a situation where you are over or under spending on energy, do your best to provide regular meter readings to your energy supplier. At uSwitch we recommend doing this at least once every three months.

How can I make my energy bills lower?

There are plenty of ways to save energy and cut down your bill. Here at uSwitch we’ve put together a number of guides to help you do just that.

In addition, if you want to optimise your energy consumption, consider getting hold of a smart thermostat. These thermostats help you figure out exactly how much energy you consume, as well as control your heating from a distance. Some smart thermostats will even learn your behaviour and run your heating accordingly.

Finally, run a quick energy price comparison. The energy market is always changing and new plans come along on a weekly basis, so it’s always a good idea to check that you’re on the best tariff. At present there’s a difference of close to £300 between the cheapest and most expensive plan, so it’s an ideal time to switch!

Take back control of your energy bills with uSwitch!

We make it easy to compare and save up to £512

Sweet Success for Peach Treats

Sarah Cutler

January 1, 2013

Tif Blue has come a long way in the last couple of years with her shop, Peach Treats, where she sells handmade, custom polymer jewelry. Peach Treats started on Etsy, an online marketplace, in 2010 and now has a home in local shops and markets.

Growing up, Blue and her mom often worked with clay while doing crafts. She started researching the toxicity of polymer clay and designing earrings for her stretched lobes. Blue notes how difficult it is to find pretty jewelry for stretched lobes that doesn’t break the bank.

“When I was wearing my jewelry, a lot of my friends were noticing and wanting pairs and I thought, ‘well, it only costs 20 cents to list a few of the things on Etsy.’ So I tried it,” says Blue. The first month on Etsy, Peach Treats sold around eight pairs and Blue was happy with those results. “Then the second month I sold over 100. It skyrocketed on Etsy. From there I started going to local shops and asking if they wanted to sell my product.”

Peach Treats offers specialty jewelry as well as “faker” jewelry—fakers are designed to look as if the lobe is stretched, but made with a regular earring post. At local markets, such as the Downtown Farmer’s Market, Blue sells a significant amount of fakers. At the Art’s Festival she completely sells out of fakers.

Blue has seen a lot of support from the community on the business side too. “I have so many people that have really promoted my product—for instance, Dustin Robins, who owns Iris Piercing Studio. He has an exclusive line of my stuff at his shop and he promotes me all the time,” she says.

When it comes to a more professional look for the office, Peach Treats has plugs for stretched lobes, some that look like rosebuds and some flesh-toned, that resemble the average earring. “A lot of people are OK with the stretched look at work, but they don’t want something gigantic and gaudy that looks really tribal, so I do a small hook with beads or dangles hanging on them so they look like a regular earring,” says Blue.

Blue would love to expand; however, “The problem I’m running into is that I don’t want to mass produce stuff, I want to stay local and handmade,” she explains. “I think that people love the fact that they can customize their products and get exactly what they want, and know that it’s made by me.”

That’s not to say she won’t try. Blue hopes to become a national brand and there is the possibility of hiring more artists and training them in her craft.

USU’s New Tie to Prehistoric Museum

It would have been a regular greet and eat the visitors for the Utahraptor hanging out in the lobby of the USU Eastern dinosaur and archaeology museum had it been open 125 million years ago.

That in-your-face introduction to the Utah State University-College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Dinosaur Museum is precisely what Ken Carpenter was going for when he recently unveiled Utahraptor in its latest lobby location and new attack stance.

If you have seen Jurassic Park, you get a feel for how unnerving this nimble and vicious predator might have been, Carpenter said. He especially liked how Steven Spielberg got people thinking about what it would have been like to have lived among dinosaurs and wants to do the same thing for visitors to his museum.

“I want to bring to life the museum by bringing in human interest,” he said. “I want to go beyond simply showing stuff off to begin educating people as to why they are important. I want to take various pieces, whether archeological or fossil, and put them into context to help people better understand and appreciate them as more than simply trophy pieces.”

Seeing yourself eyed by a Utahraptor begins to do that. Adding a human hunter throwing a dart at a five-ton Mammoth also helps. So does the museum’s Fremont pit house. So does the recent giant clam, now on display, that he uncovered an hour east of Price near the Green River.

“We want people to imagine,” he said. “We want to get them to think about what it means to have lived without refrigerators and grocery stores.”

The museum, in existence since 1960, adds great depth and breadth to Utah State University’s educational offerings since its merger with the College of Eastern Utah in 2010. It is a museum in flux and because of that, students can potentially play a significant role — from the ground up — in its future.

That is because the museum, at its current downtown Price, Utah, location, has run out of space. It needs a new and larger structure and needs it fast. Prime property for a new building has already been donated and now only awaits the necessary capital to begin construction.

By doubling the museum’s space, Carpenter said they can begin to more properly tell the museum’s story. It will be a compilation of stories and one that he hopes USU students will be able to help him to create. His hope is to begin more readily tying into classes taught on the USU Logan campus.

“It’s a unique opportunity we have to essentially build a museum with students,” he said. “As far as I know, this has never been done.”

He sees an opportunity for student involvement in the museum studies program at all levels, from design of a new building, to the design, construction, installation and testing of new museum exhibits. If done right, it has the potential for the university to become a model in museum studies with national and international influence.

“There are only one or two programs in the country that even come close to us,” he said. “We’ve got a definite niche and definitely there’s a market out there, not only for college students, but also for people who work at other museums to come here to learn new techniques. This is a rare opportunity we have.”

Rare as seeing a Utahraptor face to face.

— John DeVilbiss

From the King James version:
2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Did You Know?

Sometimes you have to see the little picture

UTSA researchers are exploring matter at the atomic level with Helenita. It's one of the most powerful microscopes in the world, with the ability to operate near the theoretical limit of resolution. At 9 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing more than two tons, Helenita can dissect almost anything. With Helenita's resolution, researchers can study particles atom by atom to see how they behave.

That's critical in developing nanotechnology that will help diagnosis early-stage breast cancer or make helmets that are uber strong. Moreover, the detail that Helenita provides will allow nanotechnology researchers to create new therapies and treatments to fight a wide range of human diseases.

Did you know? Helenita can magnify a sample 20 million times its size, which would make a strand of human hair the size of San Antonio.

I was very willing to rent this property and sent e-mail to owner requesting such as the property was showing as available. Owner never replied. To me this indicates an owner who doesn't really care about providing service - just in getting your money.

Paying Lip Service to Sustainability

by Aman Singh Das | February 08, 2010

  • My Vault

Let’s face it.

Even though nothing came out of Copenhagen, awareness of easily avoidable phrases like “climate change,” “green careers,” even “green jobs” became hugely Googled, SEO-ed, categorized and tweeted. So, with this new found green knowledge, how will we as employees, consumers and maybe more importantly, as decision-makers, inculcate sustainability in the workplace and bring it to the attention of the executive suite?

The Los Angeles Times on how eco-officers are moving into executive suites. Some companies, realizing the PR component that sustainability and all things green is beginning to carry, are appointing senior managers as sustainability/eco-friendly gurus. The article quotes a real estate, property management executive at CB Richard Ellis, who was promoted to the company’s national director of sustainability. He’s quoted as saying, “I’m an outsider, a real estate guy trying to become an environmentalist.” What is saving him, for now, is his belief in environmental change—a belief, that without monetary advantage could quickly vanish.

Last year, I attended a CSR Practitioner Certification workshop conducted by the Center for Sustainability & Excellence’s (CSE) on CSR strategy and reporting. My co-students there represented several industries and surprisingly many of them held senior management positions at their respective companies. I say surprising because knowledge of CSR principles and reporting tools remains significantly uncommon in the U.S. and their titles spoke of an overestimated understanding of the field. Ironically, maybe the heavy title they carried was responsible for their attendance.

What this certified though was the beginning of a trend that companies were beginning to recognize the need for a sustainability officer, albeit for reputational purposes, and were pulling their executives on the basis of their management experience alone. Of course, theoretically for most roles, as long as you have management experience, the technical knowledge can be obtained. So why not with climate change and energy conservation?

Late last year, I discussed this emerging trend, where I claimed that the diversity managers of the 1990s would inherit the formidable task of teaching, and leading, sustainability at their companies and that just like the executive suite pooh-poohed diversity two decades ago till it was threatening to land them in court, so will it be with the inculcation and reporting of CSR.

Despite the emergence of these officers in the executive suite, the problem of ignorance remains. In a knee jerk reaction, we are instituting them as our green spokespersons but not demanding that they embed sustainability in the company’s long term strategy and all operations. Until regulation and stakeholders support us, achieving corporate social responsibility remains an elusive goal, titles notwithstanding.

An interpreter translates spoken passages of a foreign language into another specified language. The job is often designated by the language interpreted, such as Spanish or Japanese. In addition, many interpreters specialize according to subject matter. For example, medical interpreters have extensive knowledge of and experience in the health care field, while court or judiciary interpreters speak both a second language and the "language" of law. Interpreters for the deaf, also known as sign language interpreters, aid in the communication between people who are unable to hear and those who can.

In contrast to interpreters, translators focus on written materials, such as books, plays, technical or scientific papers, legal documents, laws, treaties, and decrees. A sight translator performs a combination of interpreting and translating by reading printed material in one language while reciting it aloud in another.

There are approximately 49,060 interpreters and translators employed in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

China party newspaper criticizes Western democracy

BEIJING - BEIJING (AP) - China's Communist Party newspaper issued a scathing attack on Western-style democracy amid calls for reform of the country's political system and a resulting push-back by party conservatives.

Thursday's People's Daily editorial is the latest in a flurry of attacks on Western political institutions to appear in party propaganda organs in recent weeks.

Those follow bold calls for unspecified political reforms from Premier Wen Jiabao, as well as the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize this month to imprisoned Chinese dissident writer Liu Xiaobo, who had urged an end to single-party rule.

The People's Daily editorial blasted concepts such as multiparty democracy and separation of powers as unsuited to China, and praised the country's authoritarian socialist system as the best way of concentrating resources and accomplishing major tasks.

Western democracies were founded on colonization, exploitation and slavery, and would crumble if not for welfare payments to their underprivileged citizens, it said.

"If our country was to indiscriminately copy the Western way, we would lose the foundational thinking of shared struggle, lose the robustness of core leadership, and the country would turn into a sheet of loose sand," the editorial said, using a traditional term for disunity and chaos.

The article, titled "The Western Political Model Cannot be Duplicated," did not mention either Wen or Liu by name, saying only that "Western forces and those with whom they work in concert" were attacking the party and socialist system under the guise of reforming the political system.

In keeping with the party's habitual secrecy and opacity, it appeared open to interpretation.

The awarding of the Nobel prize to Liu has galvanized China's embattled dissident community and enraged party conservatives who appear to be responding with a campaign of vilification of Western political concepts. Liu is serving an 11-year prison term on subversion charges and his wife and other prominent dissidents have been under house arrest since the award was announced.

Wen's comments, meanwhile, have been countered by statements from hard-liners criticizing any reform that challenges the party's leadership. His most outspoken remarks have been censored by state media.

Wen, who ranks third in the party and is due to step down from his positions beginning in 2012, has not proposed any concrete reforms, arguing only that China's political system must evolve to ensure continued economic growth. The party explored systemic political change in the late 1980s, when reformers studied the possibility of electing leading party members, removing the party from some aspects of government and ensuring civil liberties such as freedom of speech.

Such research ended abruptly with the bloody suppression of the student-led pro-democracy movement centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989 and the collapse of communist governments in Eastern Europe later that year. In the two decades since, the leadership has stuck to Leninist one-party rule and tinkered with improving the government's efficiency, even while economic reforms have transformed China into a global financial superpower.

However, Wen's recent remarks appear to have inspired liberals both within and outside the party, with one elite group of retired party elders issuing an open letter to the national legislature this month calling for freedom of publication and an end to blanket censorship.

While some politically minded Chinese say Wen is making a belated attempt to put reform back on the agenda, others say that the premier - who is widely popular with the Chinese public - is primarily interested in leaving a liberal legacy, not transforming the system.

First heat wave of year brings triple-digit temperatures to some Ventura County areas

Temperatures are hitting triple digits in some Ventura County areas this week as a heat wave bakes Southern California, National Weather Service officials said.

This is the first extended period of heat this year in the county, with Tuesday and Wednesday the hottest days, forecasters said. Hot spots included Ojai, which reached 104 on Tuesday.

Thousand Oaks and Fillmore reached 93, Simi Valley reached 91 while Ventura and Oxnard temperatures were in the 70s.

Forecasters predicted high temperatures in the 60s and 70s along the coast and 80s and 90s in local valleys this week. Cooler temperatures are expected by Saturday, according to the weather service.

A strong high-pressure system centered over the Great Basin is fueling the warm conditions, but no heat records are expected to be broken, forecasters said.

"Records are pretty high this time of year, so we probably won't be breaking any records, but we will be really warm," said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service office in Oxnard.

There is an elevated fire concern, but no warnings have been issued by the weather service.

Seto said it is important for residents to stay hydrated and in the shade. The temperatures given in weather forecasts are measured in the shade for consistency, and it can be 10 to 15 degrees hotter in the sun, Seto said.

"Stay inside where it's cool," Seto said. "Go to a movie, the mall, the beach even."

The Ventura County Public Health Department advises residents to wear loose-fitting and light-colored clothes, minimize exposure to the sun and eat light, cool foods.

Despite the heat, the Ventura County Fire Department is conducting controlled burns around Happy Camp Canyon in Moorpark this week and next.

Engineer Steve Swindle, a department spokesman, said it is following temperature and humidity guidelines so the blazes don't get out of control.

The trainings start at 9:30 a.m. daily and end before the 2 p.m. cutoff point if it gets too hot, dry or windy, Swindle said.

The department didn't plan to conduct controlled burns during a heat wave, but it is best to train when conditions are ripe, he said.

"We know what's coming this (fire) season — it looks like it's going to be a busy one for us," Swindle said. "Our jobs, unfortunately, are done in the worse conditions, but this does add realism to it."

Natasha Dergan, who was at Community Center Park in Camarillo with 1-year-old niece Alex on Tuesday, said the warm temperatures surprised her in a week that also included some coastal mist.

"It was raining one morning and now it's hot. That's crazy," said Dergan, who lives in Oxnard.

She said she spent Monday afternoon at the beach and plans on going to a nearby pool later this week.

Cindy Burt went on an outing Tuesday afternoon to the Pleasant Valley Aquatic Center in Camarillo with children from Cornerstone Christian Schools.

She said it was warmer Tuesday but not as hot as she had anticipated. "I feel blessed to live in Ventura County and not in Los Angeles County," Burt said.

Samuel Gaye, 18, a lifeguard at the aquatic center, said the pool has been extra busy this week because of the heat. He said keeping hydrated and cool, even while working at an indoor pool, is important.

"Drinking water is just as important as jumping in the water," he said.

Fieldhouse recognizes Kelly

When Ed Millan returned to Ventura Avenue from his military service during the Korean War, he visited the family of his friend, Jack Kelly.

Kelly’s mother, Odessa Mae, informed Millan that her son, still in Korea, had “almost got himself killed for one of his buddies.”

A medic in the 8th Field Artillery, 25th Infantry Division, Kelly had put himself in harms way to drag two men to safety while under enemy fire. He was later awarded the Bronze Star for valor in combat.

“That was Jack,” said Millan. “He would do anything for you.”

Generations of Ventura High athletes learned that same lesson over Kelly’s decades of dedication to the Cougars’ athletic department.

The school honored that unwavering, daily commitment Friday afternoon, when it cut the ribbon to open Larrabee Stadium’s new $2.9 million fieldhouse and dedicated the Jack O. Kelly “Courtyard of Courage.”

“He loved Ventura with a passion,” Millan told the assembled crowd. “This is a fitting tribute to his memory.”

The fieldhouse, which took nearly two years to construct, sits adjacent to the visiting stands. Ventura High football coach Brad Steward was just one of the many marveling at the new building, including the fitting black-and-gold tiles in its locker rooms.

“It’s going to be the start of a whole bunch of new traditions,” said Steward.

Kelly’s broad contributions to the athletic department made the Class of 1949 graduate part coach, fan, mentor and benefactor.

“His mission was to instill a sense of Cougar Pride in each and every student,” Ventura High principal Val Wyatt told the assembled crowd.

“Not just in themselves and their accomplishments, but also in their contributions to the success of their teams. Often Jack would mentor athletes one-on-one on never giving up, to walk tall in the face of defeat or to accept victory with humility.”

The courtyard, which will sit under the U.S. flag given to Millan at Kelly’s funeral in 2006, “will symbolize his style of mentoring,” said Wyatt. “In an area off to the side, one on one, on a bench surrounded by greenery.”

Several of Kelly’s former classmates told the crowd what it was like to attend a Ventura sporting event with Kelly.

“He’d tell us everything there was to know about the football team, the track team,” Millan told the assembled crowd. “He was always on the field, getting the guys in shape.”

Former Star columnist Jim Parker said Kelly often asked about his Cougars.

“He always wanted to know more about the teams,” said Parker, smiling. “I think he was trying to soak me for inside information.”

Upon his death, Kelly left his estate to the Ventura High alumni association. The interest from that sum is used to supplement the athletic budget.

In recent years it has paid for new chairs and a scoring table in Tuttle gymnasium, a digital video scouting system and a blocking sled for the football team, a serving machine for the volleyball teams and a new diving board for the swimming teams, among other things.

Ventura athletic director Dave Hess told a story of how Kelly took the 1998 football team to Outback Steakhouse on a whim, to cushion the blow of what surely would be a first-round playoff beating at top seed Newbury Park the next night.

When the Cougars pulled off the upset, a tradition was born.

“From 1998 to 2005, (the Cougars) qualified for the playoffs every year, went to the Outback every year, won the first game every year,” said Hess. “Thank you, Jack.”

Recap: Angels , Royals

Game: 1
Venue: Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium
Date: March 31, 2011 4:10 PM EDT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - It took the Kansas City Royals exactly one game to cast serious doubt on any credibility Cactus League stats might have.

After hitting .308 and posting a Cactus League-best 20-10-1 spring training record, the Royals managed just seven hits and committed three errors Thursday in a 4-2 opening-day loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

As disappointed as anyone was left fielder Alex Gordon, who went 0 for 5 after batting .343 with six homers and 23 RBIs in Arizona. He struck out with runners at the corners and two out in the ninth.

``It's just one day,' Gordon said. ``We're not going to look too much into it. It stinks to lose the way we did. It's positive to fight back the way we did, but we came up short.'

Luke Hochevar, making his first opening-day start, gave up nine hits, including homers by Torii Hunter and Jeff Mathis.

``That's obviously not how you want to start the season,' he said. ``I made two mistakes and they both ended up over the fence. They both were mistakes being aggressive.'

Hunter hit a mammoth solo drive to center in the fourth.

``I was going right after him and the ball came right over the plate, and into his nitro zone,' Hochevar said. ``It was a curveball to Mathis. In the fourth, my ball got up in the zone and I didn't execute as well.'

Take away a near-collapse by the bullpen and this was just what the Los Angeles Angels wanted to see in their season opener.

Besides the home runs by Hunter and Mathis, Jered Weaver pitched 6 1-3 strong innings.

``I just tried to keep people off the basepaths as much as possible,' Weaver said. ``It's obviously nerve-racking the first time out.'

Weaver (1-0) allowed only two harmless singles by Melky Cabrera while improving to 3-0 in his last four starts against Kansas City. The 2010 major league strikeout leader fanned six and walked two as the Angels won their opener for the seventh time in the last eight years.

Hochevar (0-1) pitched 5 2-3 innings and gave up four runs, three earned.

Once Weaver was out of the game, the Royals made it interesting on solo shots by Mike Aviles and Jeff Francoeur, but Los Angeles' bullpen escaped threats in the eighth and ninth.

``Weaver is as good a pitcher I've seen at being able to disrupt hitters' timing,' Royals manager Ned Yost said. ``That's what pitching is all about, trying to keep the opposition off balance and he does it as well as anybody. He has a changeup, got different speeds on his slider and throws his fastball at different speeds and he bangs strikes.'

Aviles' leadoff drive off Kevin Jepsen trimmed Los Angeles' lead to 4-2 in the eighth. The Royals went on to load the bases on three walks, but Michael Kohn, the Angels' fifth pitcher, struck out Francoeur and retired Alcides Escobar on a fly ball to end the inning.

With runners at the corners and two out in the ninth, Gordon barely missed a home run before Fernando Rodney struck him out for the save.

``We were fortunate at the end. Too many base on balls,' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ``When we needed to make a pitch, our guys did. But you can't just keep cracking open the door. They're an aggressive team and they've got guys who can drive the ball out of the park.'

Weaver had faced the minimum until Cabrera flared a single into left with one out in the fourth. The right-hander, the Angels' pitcher of the year the past two seasons, then retired six of the next seven, allowing only one walk, before Cabrera singled up the middle with two out in the sixth.

Hunter, on a 3-2 pitch, cranked a 446-foot shot over the center-field fence leading off the fourth. It was his 27th homer against the Royals, the most he's hit off any club. Vernon Wells and Erick Aybar followed with back-to-back doubles.

Hunter also singled in the fifth but a piece of his bat went into the stands on the third-base side and hit a woman. She appeared to be bleeding and Hunter sent somebody to give her a souvenir bat.

``I hope and pray that she's all right,' Hunter said.

She is. Stadium security said the woman was treated at the scene and insisted on remaining at the game. She did, however, asked to be seated somewhere out of the way of flying bats.

The Royals committed three errors. After Mathis went deep in the sixth, Peter Bourjos bunted and wound up at third on throwing errors by Hochevar and second baseman Chris Getz. Maicer Izturis ended up driving him in with a single.

``I think this is like my 13th opening day,' Hunter said. ``Thirteen of them and I'm still kind of nervous and anxious to see what happens. But it's cool to come with a win.'

Hisanori Takahashi replaced Weaver and allowed Francoeur's two-out drive in the seventh.

Third baseman Aviles was booed when he ran toward the left-field dugout chasing a high pop off the bat of Bobby Abreu but let it fall in. It was called a no-play, but boos echoed again when Abreu then singled with two out in the fifth. But Aviles made a nice play on Wells' grounder to end the inning.

NOTES: Royals relievers have switched sides. Since Kauffman Stadium opened in 1973, the home team bullpen had always been behind right field, the visitors' behind left. But now they've switched, giving KC dugout a better view of what's happening in their pen. ... Mike Sweeney, who signed a one-day contract this month and retired as a Royal, threw out the first pitch. ... The Royals called it a sellout but there were quite a few unoccupied seats scattered around Kauffman Stadium. ... The Angels improved to 1-3 in March games.

VeganMoFo: Veggie Burger SmackDown (Good v. Better)

GoodBurger (L) v. Better Burger (R)

Start your salivary glands, because it's time for Thursday's edition of Veggie Burger SmackDown!

This week's match-up is between two seemingly fitting foes: "GoodBurger" and "Better Burger," and it's up to this non-boxing fan to determine which one of these restaurants cooks up the superior veggie burger.  Now, before we really get rolling, let's get a few rules out of the way:

  1. Each burger must be completely vegan (obviously);
  2. Condiments may be used to influence the overall outcome (after all, who eats just a plain burger?);
  3. Side dishes (ex: french fries) may be analyzed and discussed, but may not be considered in the final tally;
  4. The three main categories of veggie burger review are: (a) Appearance; (b) Texture; and (c) Taste;
  5. Burger participants may earn up to 5 points per category, with a total of 15 points possible.

Now it's time for the stats:

  • GoodBurger weighs in at a hefty 6 locations around the city of New York, while Better Burger is more appropriately suited for the light-weight class, logging in at just 2 New York locations.
  • Better Burger offers 2 completely vegan burgers on its menu (the "Homemade Veggie Burger" - which is participating in this SmackDown - and the "Savory Soy Burger"). On the other hand, GoodBurger has just one v-burger on its menu, creatively titled "Veggie Burger."*
***Ding, Ding, Ding***

Round 1!

GoodBurger - This veggie burger looked like, well, a good burger! It came out on a hearty-looking multi-grain bun, stacked high with condiments. And, it managed to convey both health and tastiness, which is a feat, in and of, itself. As an added bonus, the burger even had a little wooden stick holding it together, which added to its rustic charm. Appearance Points: 5

Better Burger
Better Burger - Er, what can I say? Compared to GoodBurger, this was kind of a let down. However, the veggie patty, itself, looked good - thick, with obvious signs of veggies. Plus, if you're a fan of the "fast food" motif with a health'd up twist, look no further than that classic, sesame seed bun. Appearance Points: 2

Standings After Round 1: GoodBurger 5 v. Better Burger 2

***Ding, Ding, Ding***

Round 2!

GoodBurger - The veggie patty had a slight bit of crunchiness on the outside, but was quite mushy on the inside. Only a few pieces of the burger fell off while I was eating, which can be a big problem for veggie burgers. However, the fact that burger's texture could play against the heartier bun was a plus.  Also, I liked being able to identify several different kinds of veggies in the burger. Texture Points: 3

Better Burger

Better Burger - Once again, this patty was a bit crunchy on the outside (more so than with the one at GoodBurger), but was mushy on the inside. It held up a bit better than the challenger, but only marginally. Moreover, the fact that the bun was of the "wimpy wheat" variety didn't do any favors for the overall texture of the burger. Texture Points: 2

Standings After Round 1: GoodBurger 8 v. Better Burger 4

***Ding, Ding, Ding***

Round 3!

GoodBurger: I liked the fact that the patty was straight-up veggie (no meat imitation here), and enjoyed being able to distinctly taste the carrots, corn, and peas in the burger. I also liked the use of green leaf lettuce and reasonably fresh tomatoes as condiments. I'm a fan of pickles on my burger, but these were a little sweet, which kind of distracted from the burger. Overall, I'd say that GoodBurger is a fine option, but I'm not sure that I'd actively seek it out. However, my standards might have been elevated a bit too high based upon the burger's stellar appearance. I'm still not completely blown away though. [The fries were good -  standard fast-food type fries, but good.] Taste Points: 3

Better Burger: This place might want to rename their veggie burger the "Celery Burger" since celery's all that I could taste while eating it, which was a bit weird. Moreover, the toppings on this burger were lame! The lettuce was iceberg, the pickles were sweet (WTF's with you and the sweet pickles, New York?!), and the onions weren't exactly fresh-tasting. Plus, the wheat bun tasted like it came right out of a Wonder Bread package. While I do have to give Better Burger props for trying to do things right - they have interesting (though icky, in my opinion) condiments like Cajun ketchup, and vegan 1000 island dressing, and use organic ingredients - it's still not enough to win me over. [The fries were terrible, too! Who cares if they're "air-baked" if they taste like mushy potatoes?] Taste Points: 1

Standings After All 3 Rounds: GoodBurger 11 v. Better Burger 5

Looks like it's a K.O. for GoodBurger!

The Winner: GoodBurger, which was, in fact, better than Better Burger

*Full disclosure: GoodBurger also has a "Portobello Burger" available, which I suspect might be vegan. However, I didn't check because, frankly, I just don't swing that way.

Have you tried the veggie burgers at either of these places? If so, what was your opinion? What do you look for in a veggie burger? Are there any deal-breakers (besides animal products, that is)?

  1. I walk by Good Burger almost every day and seriously NEVER would have thought they had anything vegan. AWESOME! Thank you! xx

  2. Now I want burgers. I'm "supposed" to do a 2 day smoothie detox--- help!

  3. haha brilliant! I love this idea.

  4. Um, I love this post. I should totally do something like this in my own little city!

    I'm also a fan of veggie burgers that actually taste like vegetables - novel concept, eh? And sweet pickles are lame, especially when you're expecting some nice tart dill action.

  5. I've never heard of either burger place but I'll keep an eye out when I'm next in NYC, I'll probably be going for the one that doesn't taste like celery!

  6. ooooh.,. this is a fun idea! theres a bunch of new vegan sandwich places that opened up!

Make Money On The Forex Market With These Tips

Fra VegWiki

Gå til: navigasjon, søk

There are many techniques and strategies, made available daily, which can help you to enter the foreign exchange market with confidence. Trading currency is extremely competitive, and it may be overwhelming to think about finding the right strategy. The tips in this article will help you find your way.

Find your own way in the Forex market, and trust your instincts. Cultivating your own trading skills is the sole path to meeting your goals and making the money you want to make.

Be certain to include stop loss orders when you set up your account. Stop loss orders prevent you from letting your account dropping too far without action. If there is a large, unexpected move in the market, the stop loss order will prevent you from taking a big loss. Put the stop loss order in place to protect your investments.

When you lose money, take things into perspective and never trade immediately if you feel upset. Forex trading requires that you stay patient and rational, or you could make poor decisions that will cost you dearly.

Pick the trading method that can best fit in with your life. You may need to use delayed orders or use markets with daily or monthly time frames if you have little time to trade.

In fact, it is better to do the opposite. Sticking to a set plan will help to control your urges.

While analysis can help you trade better, you still need the right attitude and the right idea of what risks are acceptable. If you put in the time it takes to learn forex fundamentals and good technique, writing up a successful plan is easy.

The best strategy in Forex is to get out when you are losing and stay in while you are gaining a profit. Resisting your natural impulses will be easier for you if you have a plan.

Forex trading news is not hard to find; it can be found on any form of media, 24 hours a day. You can search the web, including Twitter and watch news channels. You will find this information everywhere you turn. The reason for this is that money is a particularly hot topic, and everyone wants to know what's going on with theirs.

Avoiding trading over five percent of what is in your account. This gives you a margin of error. Losing 5% of your money on a trade is not such a big deal, so you can keep on trading afterwards. When you have been watching the Forex market for awhile you may want to trade big. Try to remain conservative.

You should figure out what sort of trading time frame suits you best early on in your forex experience. For quick trades, work with quarter and hourly charts. Scalpers use the five and ten minute charts in which they enter and exit in a matter of minutes.

Go with an extensive platform if you want to trade Forex easily. For example, a few platforms give you the power to receive trading alerts, look up information and trade right from your phone. Learning about changes earlier means you can react to them more quickly. Don't miss an opportunity because you're away from your computer.

NC Sweepstakes Games Win Another Round In Court

Marcus Webb
sweepstakes video games, Internet cafe, North Carolina Court of Appeals, North Carolina sweepstakes business, Chris Canard, Hest Technologies, Roy Cooper

RALEIGH, NC -- The North Carolina Court of Appeals issued a ruling on Jan. 7 that Internet sweepstakes games may continue to be operated, while an appeal is pending on a lower court ruling in favor of sweepstakes videogames.

The disputed verdict was originally issued on Nov. 8, 2010, when Guilford County circuit court judge John Craig ruled in the case of Hest Technologies vs. the state.

Craig said that some sweepstakes games are legal amusement devices if they do not use casino-style gameplay in presenting outcomes of promotional sweepstakes. Craig made national headlines by agreeing with Hest that sweeps games deserve First Amendment protection under the U.S. Constitution. | SEE STORY

Both Hest and state attorney general Roy Cooper have appealed the different parts of the Craig ruling with which they disagree. Cooper's office also asked the state Appeals Court to issue a stay on implementation of the pro-sweeps part of the verdict until the court issues its opinion on the case.

If the court had agreed with Cooper's request, law enforcement would have been free to shut down all sweeps games in North Carolina immediately. However, it was this request that the Appeals Court turned down on Jan. 7.

"We're not just lucky," said Chris Canard, president of Hest. "It's clear we are a lawful business, conducting promotional sweepstakes in a lawful manner. For the state to selectively choose to ban our industry while we are in full compliance with the law doesn't make a whole lot of sense."

Canard also said Hest's systems are legal and meet all regulatory and statutory requirements and address all consumer fraud issues.

"We are simply asking that small businesses be allowed to conduct the same types of promotions Pepsi and McDonald's conduct," Canard said.

The February issue of Vending Times will publish a review of developments in the sweepstakes videogame market in North Carolina and beyond.

Angel chime candles I originally wanted the white candles, but I actually like the red ones better! They fit perfectly in my angel chimes! Glad to find the right size! January 10, 2015
My long search finally ended... I have been looking for this tiny size candle for some Plantation Brass Candlesticks I purchased 3 years ago. The candlesticks have been sitting on my mantle, minus candles, since I purchased them. I have looked EVERYWHERE for this size candle...every candle company I could think of...and finally found them here. Thank you for carrying items other stores no longer carry. Your store is a treasure. January 9, 2015
Thank you for having these candles The Angel chimes remind me of my fathers parents, they had one at their house at Christmas time and I remember being in awe of it when it flew around in the heat of the flames, and rang those sweet sounding bells when I was a child. Thank you for still selling items that we can only find in specialty shops, I couldn't find these candles anywhere. December 11, 2014
Exactly what I needed. Couldn't find these candles anywhere in my town. Had to order online. Since I love the Vermont Store, I ordered and there perfect. Will be ordering more to have on hand! Thanks! January 6, 2014
Angel Chimes in Remembrance of Mom I will forever be purchasing these candles for my Angel Chimes. Each year a Vermont Country Store gift box has come to Texas from Mom and Dad, since Mom liked using your catalog to Christmas shop. Mom's last Christmas with us, before we knew she had cancer, was highlighted by the Angel Chime's gift. These chimes will forever be our memory of Mom's last Christmas in our home. January 2, 2014
Angel Chime Refill Candles Christmas always meant that Mama would take out the decorations, and the one that I loved the most were the Angel Chimes that when the candles were lit would make the angels fly around and they would ring the bells. I have always had this item on my fireplace mantel during the holidays, and it has often been very hard to find the correct size candles. I was thrilled to see that you now offer them in both red or white. Thank you for putting a smile on my face once again. The true meaning of Christmas is love, family and memories. December 6, 2013
Angel Chime candles I could not find these anywhere last year, so was thrilled when I saw them in your catalogue. I bought the red ones for a change! October 28, 2013
Finally Found It I have been looking for these Angel Chime Candles for many years. I have a very old wooden Carousel that uses these candles. Thank you so much having them and have a very blessed Christmas because I know I will! December 15, 2012
