Many thanks to all who have expressed concern in the wake of my car accident. I must admit that I was puzzled by Benjamin's remark in his comment to my last post. He wrote, "I agree with most people: I'm glad you're alive!!" Most people? As if to imply that there exists a (vocal?) minority who might not be so glad...
The insurance adjuster called to inform me that my car had indeed been declared a total loss. I visited my beloved 2008 Honda Civic at the body shop last week to say my final goodbyes, retrieve some CDs, my umbrella, and a lawn ornament that had been in the car since we moved, and turn over my spare key. I've included a few pictures from our emotional final encounter.
I was surprised to find my car sitting in the parking lot with the key in the trunk. While it's not much to look at, and the front passenger tire is a little flat, the engine still runs. An industrious, opportunistic thief could have 'er up and running in no time, I'm sure.In any event, I recovered the chocolate bar. Should tide me over while I look for another car.

Guess this means you'll have to start the spring jet ski commute a little early. In like a sea lion.
The vocal minority was against the car, not you. While you would sleep, the Civic was carousing at rental places with rusted-out hourly whores with a lot of miles on them. When you were on vacation, it was smuggling durgs from Mexico in its backside. Navigating through this dark world, a car can make enemies. If only the mechanics from the assembly line had hugged it more, maybe it could have lived to see 100,000 miles.
Instead of a car, what about a vacation home in Cornelius, NC.
The odds of it appreciating in value are much higher than ANY automobile...
Which house --- green or blue?
Warmly,

Hello dude!
It is my first time here. I just wanted to say hi!
Everything about horse betting
Successful horse race wagering takes a degree of skill and research. Unlike most sporting match ups where you have a fifty-fifty chance of winning by random choice, with an average field of 8 horses, the horse player only has a 12.5% chance of winning by chance. Let's put fun into the sport for the casual fan. A two horse match up takes wagering on horse racing back to its earliest and simplest form; "I bet my horse can beat yours!" But there's no need to stop there, horse racing offers a myriad of options for wagering; which horse will be in the lead at each point of call, which jockey or trainer will have the most wins for the day, and how about betting a horse to lose. These are just a few options that come to mind.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing[/url]
There are however many controversies surrounding the horse industry. During races, some jockeys use a crop to hit the horse in the rump to direct their effort and possibly run faster. Based on the most detailed statistical study of whipping ever carried out, it is actually counterproductive and slows the horse down causing them to become distracted and dangerously go off course.
In the 131 years that have passed only 11 horses have managed to accomplish what is arguably the most difficult feat in sports. Compared to the Triple Crown, no-hitters in baseball are an everyday occurrence; back to back championships in other sporting events, a dime a dozen; there have been more solar eclipses in our lifetime than Triple Crown winners and each year more people are struck by lightening than the total number of Triple Crown winners in history.

On paper, Barbaro is the horse to beat, and after his decisive win at the Kentucky Derby, he appears capable of beating all comers. But this is horse racing and no matter how it looks on paper we still have to run the race.
Stan Pearson is another forward of note who was at the club at the same time as Rowley. He didn't quite get to 200 goals but did manage a very healthy 148 in 343 appearances between 1937 and 1953. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchesterunited[/url] Manchester United was established in 1878 as the Newton Heath Football Club, which served as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot. The club nearly went bankrupt in 1902 but was saved by J.H. Davies who subsequently re-named the team as Manchester United. During World War II, the Old Trafford Football Ground was severely bombed, leaving United without a stadium. They had to seek the assistance of their then more illustrious neighbours, Manchester City, and both teams shared Maine Road as their home stadium for some time. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]michael carrick[/url] Manchester United Football Club is an English football club that plays in the Premier League. The Red Devils as they are commonly known have more than 300 million world-wide supporters. Meaning that out of every 20 people on earth, one of them will be a Manchester United Fan! Currently managed by Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are one of the most successful teams in the history of English football having won 21 major titles since he became manager in 1986. During its remarkable history, many distinguished players have run out in the famous Manchester United shirt which can trace its origins back when Manchester United were known as Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club.
This is yet another time Real Madrid has failed to advance to the quarterfinals; the team hasn’t made it since 2004. This year seemed to have incredible potential for Madrid, which was enjoying a winning streak and beginning to balance all the great new talent Coach Pellegrini purchased last summer. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid fotos[/url] In the match against Zaragoza, Real Madrid dominated the game from the first minute, coming close to scoring at minute 2 when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a clear option after goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez cleared the shot from the Portuguese. Minutes later, the Whites kept control of the ball while Real Zaragoza was trying to close the spaces and the opportunities for the Meringues in their area.

Espanyol entered the second half rejuvenated, motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to control the field. Nevertheless, the team was far too inconsistent and never quite managed to threaten Madrid’s area. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]ronaldo goals[/url] Barcelona and Real Madrid can both boast a star-studded cast. Barcelona won on Tuesday against Racing Santander 4-1, with Lionel Messi scoring two of the team’s four goals; Real Madrid did their job on Wednesday, defeating Villareal 2-0 with goals from Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle centrebet bets done through arbitrage sports centrebet betting when they have such irregular results.

Following the philosophy of pyramiding, what happens in this system is that you place a centrebet bet and if you come out a winner you re-invest the winnings on the next wager. So in horse racing, for example, you simply let it ride. Also, unlike the other centrebet betting systems, the Parlay System offers a lower amount of risk of all centrebet bettors for because they only need be concerned with a win, place or show selection or a combination thereof.
Overall, the majority of people feel that the United States is missing the boat on this matter. Instead of simply regulating the industry like the rest of the countries in the world, they are trying to get rid of it altogether. This may have some benefits, but for the most part there is a chance that it could end up back firing. It will be interesting to see what the Senate decides to do in the upcoming months.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]football betting line[/url]
In the preceding part of this discourse I concluded that (a) the greatest hazard for you as a typical, well-balanced sports centrebet bettor is that you may continually lose more than you win and thereby regularly exhaust your centrebet betting funds, and (b) to thoroughly analyse the likelihood of that happening you need to properly address the following questions:
(i) What things could possibly go wrong that would cause you harm?
(ii) How likely is it that those things will go wrong for you?
