Wired magazine has an article discussing the "Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2003", introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.). I had a feeling something like this was coming, with many states crying about how much money they're "losing" to online cigarette sales.
The rationale for the law: "[C]oncern that contraband cigarettes contribute heavily to the profits of organized crime syndicates, especially global terrorist organizations." According to Hatch, "The Internet has 'exacerbated' the problem, as crime syndicates purchase cigarettes in states with low tobacco taxes and sell them to customers in states with high ones."
1. Records of sales must be kept on file for 5 years. Record keeping requirements in general for cigarette sellers would become more stringent.
2. Violations of this law are punishable as a felony by up to a $100,000 fine or up to 2 years in jail. An additional civil penalty of up to 2% of gross sales of the previous 12 months may also be imposed.
3. Delivery of cigarettes through the U.S. Mail is prohibited.
4. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is charged with enforcing this law. Currently, the FBI is charged with enforcing federal cigarette tax laws.
The only "organized syndicates" I am worried about here are Congress and the state legislatures. Smokers make an easy target for taxation since they are in the minority. People are trying to evade cigarette taxes because they are too high. The obvious solution is lower cigarette taxes - not even higher taxes and more laws with jail sentences and hefty fines (as Congress and the legislatures would like to believe).
Do you know if this law would enable states to collect taxes retroactively on sales made before this bill is passed?
As far as I know, states have always had the ability to collect unpaid taxes as long as the statute of limitations had not run out. I don't see how this law would change that.

Bomb Disposal Unit Rescues Afghan School
Air Force Explosives Team Disarms, Removes Deadly Threat
POORAK, Afghanistan
In the environment that students find themselves in Afghanistan violence can often be a part of life. But it's not everyday where a bomb is rigged to explode in a girl's school Fundamentalist extremists are believed to be the authors of the deadly unit, aimed at the female population of a school in Logar Province.
About four hundred girls are registered at the school in eastern Afghanistan. The Taliban targeted the Poorak Girls School because they believe that a woman should not be educated in schools.
The leaders and members of the Taliban are radical, and do not want to have girls go to school at all, said Colonel Abdul Majeed Latifi. Colonel Latifi is the deputy police chief in nearby Logan. I am certain one hundred percent that this was the handiwork of the Taliban?. Said Col. Latifi.
Afghan and U.S. Forces found two bombs last Thursday. In one case, a grenade was planted and set to explode at the guard building at the entrance to the school. specialized U.S. explosives team from the Air Force drove in thick snow to reach the village, shortly after getting the call from Colonel's Latifi.
Upon their arrival to the Poorak Girls School, one explosive team member found the first of the two bombs underneath a walking footbridge near the school. It was comprised of two 82 mm type mortars, and attached to a 24-inch recoil less rifle round, and a pound of explosives wired together with it in a bag made up from rags- but all deadly serious and wired to batteries.
The footbridge bomb was found just fifteen feet from the nearest Afghan family residence. The lady of the house opened the door only inches when speaking to troops, fearful of attracting attention from the Taliban.

Although not for all, many kayak anglers opt to mount a graph to add fish finding and custom mapping capabilities to their kayak. Wired2Fish's Walker Smith shares how he attached a slick track mount to receive a variety of accessories without drilling holes into the kayak itself. Walker's Humminbird HELIX 7 slides on and off his Old Town Predator PDL with ease, and is self-contained using the YakAttack CellBlok Fish Finder mount. This system provides excellent electronics portability for loading and unloading as well as use in other kayaks, canoes or boats.

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/File:Ashes_of_Creation_64_-_PCD3D_SM5_2020-05-17_10-30-30.mp4
Exploration in Alpha-1.[1]
Players will be rewarded for exploring.[2]
We want to put things in the world that are dynamic; so there are reasons to keep going out and keep exploring.[3]
It will be easy to get lost in Ashes of Creation.[4]
It'll be easy for you to get lost in AoC. That is our goal from an exploration standpoint.[4] – Steven Sharif
1 Landmarks
2 Treasure hunting
3 Coastal nodes
4 Adaptive content
4.1 Player driven narrative
4.2 Server history
4.2.1 Libraries
4.3 Legendary items
200 foot tall Pyrian statues in Alpha-1.[5]
Landmarks are scattered throughout the world, allowing players to judge their position on the map.[5]
From a lore perspective these statues have been around for a long time; and they are representative of the civilizations that existed once on this world before.[5] – Steven Sharif
Major visual landmarks. You can look all the way across the horizon have an idea where you're going or where to meet friends or where to meet just based on these huge landmarks in the world.[5] – Mat Broome
https://ashesofcreation.wiki/File:magegameplay.mp4
Pre-alpha Mage finding hidden treasure.
Treasure hunting is not exactly "cartography", but it does involve maps that help to pinpoint the location of hidden treasures throughout the world.[6][7][8]
The more treasure a player finds the better maps they can create.[8]
Hints are given through rumor mills, interaction with different NPCs, and gaining access to potential dig sites.[8]
Treasure hunting will be a "way of life" rather than a profession.[7]
Treasures may also be obtained through fishing.[9]
Coastal nodes
Alpha-1 coastal node.[10]
There will be nodes along the coast and on islands.[11]
These nodes will have specific water oriented influences and abilities, services, questlines, that relate to the seas.[11]
Coastal nodes change the spawn tables of the nearby water content and can also trigger specific events.[12]
Harbors in coastal nodes will have quest lines that relate to the ocean and nearby islands.[12]
It may be possible to siege a coastal city by sea.[13]
Island chains are part of Ashes of Creation naval content.[14][15]
Adaptive content
New points of interest (such as dungeons and world bosses) spawn as nodes develop.[3] This content adapts to the development of the zone it is in.[16]
Populations will change.[16]
Content difficulty will change.[16]
The content may be different altogether, depending on what is developed and how.[16]
Different types of antagonists with different story lines.[16]
Some dungeons will only be unlocked if nodes are developed to certain stages.[17]
Storyline objectives for players inside dungeons will depend on the story arc paths chosen through the node system.[17]
Drop tables in areas and dungeons will be tied into the progression of certain areas.[17]
Certain dungeons and other points of interest across the map will all be affected by the server's node development. Some dungeons will only be unlocked if nodes are developed to certain stages. The storyline objectives for players inside dungeons will also be dependent on the story arc paths chosen through the node system. The drop tables in area and dungeons will also be tied into the progression of certain areas. For example, let's say that the humans have developed a node in Region A, and a storyline has opened up that leads players to inspect the ruins (dungeon) of a nearby area. And let's say that this node was developed in a scientific (crafting) zone… Well before the node developed, this dungeon was accessible… But now the dungeon has propagated new monster assets that include a drop table catering to a crafting emphasis because of the development of that scientific node. And perhaps, a new boss appears in different rooms of the dungeon that includes different adventure quest starts, like a mysterious item with a storyline that can only be progressed if a node develops to the metropolis stage in a certain region, across the world. Our system is so vast, when it comes to interconnectivity and how the world reacts to the players.[17]
Player driven narrative
The world of Verra will be the same on each server, but Nodes will develop differently. Different servers will have different narratives. Things that happen on one server may not happen on another.[18]
We want as many people as possible to experience the main server Narrative. These will branch at different scales, but largely at the personal level. Where things change is at the Node level – different parts of the story will be unlocked based on where and when Nodes grow. Unlocking a part of the story in a certain way locks out progression of the story in a different way. You'll see different antagonists, different NPCs, and different calls to action depending on what's happening with the server at that time.[19]
It kind of redefines what the players will experience in an MMORPG to come into a wilderness that is devoid of really any structure outside of what the community creates themselves; and then what can be created can be changed, if they want to experience a storyline that's been seen on another server, but you know you're fighting a dragon because you're near a mountain and the other server's fighting a Kraken because they're near the coast and you want to fight that Kraken because of its drop table. If you want to meta it or because you just want that under your belt: to be the server first to take out that Kraken and you have yet to develop the node there, you know it's incumbent upon you to manifest that in the game.[20] – Steven Sharif
The history of each server will be tracked and visible to players.[21]
We're gonna keep track of the history of the world so that we can tell people the story up to the current day. A player who's brand new, who's come in at the six-month mark can take a look at each server, what each server has done, how each server has tackled the storyline; and they can decide for themselves what community they want to join; what version of the world that they want to take part in.[21] – Jeffrey Bard
Scientific node building.[22]
At the Village stage, the scientific node's unique building is the Library. Players can use the Library to access information, including (but not limited to) the following:[22]
History of narrative events and when they occurred.
Locations and last known quantity of gatherable resources.
Locations and inhabitants of new dungeons or POIs (points of Interest) that have spawned.
Runic power stones for armor.
Common armor and weapon recipes (level 25 and under).
There is a small RNG chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.[23]
There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.[24][25][26]
Legendary equipment is only dropped by Legendary world bosses.[27]
At each stage from Gatherer to Processor to Crafter you are required to have certain prerequisites before those elite types of materials can be essentially gathered, processed, or crafted.[25] – Steven Sharif
Gatherers must have high quality tools to gather rare resources.[25]
Processors must have high tier processing buildings on their freehold to produce rare materials.[25]
Crafters must also satisfy certain prerequisites to craft legendary equipment.[25]
The amount of effort needed and interdependencies across the different types of players – between raiders and PvPers and crafters and even role players and the taverns and businesses: the processors and gatherers – all of those systems will likely have a component that lends toward creating or crafting that legendary item... We want to stay away from the highly RNGd system, and instead take our multiple progression paths that we are offering the players and put the construction components for achieving these legendary items within them so it encourages communities to work together because it's going to be difficult for just one person by themselves to gather everything. Not to say that they couldn't in an economic sense, by buying those components, that's possible. But achieving them from a time investment standpoint we want it to be considerably less RNG focussed.[26] – Steven Sharif
Discovery of legendary items will unlock further chapters of the Lore.[28]
There are absolutely legendary items and they're not items that are attained easily nor are they granted out in a volume. There might even be items that are single items that will exist on the server at any given time.[29]
A legendary weapon is easily distinguished by its visual appearance.[26]
It will be a very ornate and detailed weapon, more so than any other weapon or piece of equipment in the game. It will also include some awesome looking effects that won't too gaudy, you know they won't be too bright and shiny so that it doesn't look good, but they will be subtle and people will notice it and know wow that guy has this weapon.[26] – Steven Sharif
Legendary items are not intended to be temporary.[30]
A notable exception to this is Royal mounts.[31]
The fact there is only one of them... or very very few of them depending on what it is. I think that in and of itself is a balance component right and you need to make sure that the players who are striving for those legendary things and who are devoting the time energy, resources in order to achieve them are accurately rewarded... We do not intend on having legendary items that are temporary.[30] – Steven Sharif

Best Cyber Monday iPhone Deals 2021: The Sales Are Open
If you missed Black Friday, then Cyber Monday is here to save you some cash. Cyber Monday has arrived and the deals are well underway. With supply shortages and supply chain backlogs threatening to extend shipping times this holiday season, it's a good idea to get your iOS device shopping done as soon as possible by taking advantage of the biggest Cyber Monday phone deals.
If you don't want to spend hours sorting through online stores and carriers to find the best Cyber Monday iPhone deals, though — time is money, after all — then look no further. We've already taken care of the hard part to bring you this hand-picked list of the best Cyber Monday deals available right now on iPhones and iPhone accessories.
Today's best Cyber Monday iPhone deals
Best Cyber Monday iPhone deals — unlocked
Apple iPhone 13 and 13 Mini — up to $700 off with trade-in from Apple
Apple just dropped the iPhone 13 at its September event, following its normal annual release cycle. It's the best iPhone to buy if you want the latest and greatest, even if there aren't huge differences between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12. Just like last year's iPhone 12 stable, the iPhone 13 comes in four flavors: The standard 6.1-inch iPhone 13, the compact 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini, the upgraded 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro, and the premium 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max. For our money, the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are the easiest to recommend to the vast majority of people. Most of the best Cyber Monday iPhone deals are for carrier-locked models, but you can get $100 to $700 off of an unlocked unit from Apple if you trade-in — no contracts or data plans required.
Apple iPhone 11 — up to $700 off with trade-in from Apple
The oldest iPhones we recommend that are still good performers are the 2019 models. The 2019 iPhone lineup included the 6.1-inch iPhone 11, 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro, and 6.5-inch iPhone 11 Pro Max, which all featured similar internal hardware built on the A13 Bionic chipset. However, following the introduction of the iPhone 12 range, Apple discontinued the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max while keeping the iPhone 11 as a cheaper flagship alternative. You'll still be able to find the previous Pro generation, though, and discontinued iPhones are a great way to score a great phone at a lower price. In fact, you can potentially get one for free from Apple if you have a device to trade in.
Best Cyber Monday iPhone deals — contract
Apple iPhone SE 2020 (Verizon) — free with new unlimited line, was $400
In the spring of 2020, Apple added the 2nd-generation 4.7-inch iPhone SE to the 13th-generation iPhone stable. It features the same A13 Bionic chip as the iPhone 11 — but inside an iPhone 8 body — and represents a very affordable alternative to the flagship models. It currently stands as the cheapest new iPhone you can buy, so if you like smaller phones, it's a good pick and a cheaper alternative to the iPhone 12 Mini and 13 Mini. It's already the cheapest new iPhone you can buy with a $400 retail price, but as part of Verizon's deals, you can sign up for an unlimited plan and get the iPhone SE for free.
Apple iPhone 12 — $700 back with unlimited plan, plus $800 when you switch carriers
In 2020, Apple again rolled out four devices for the 14th iPhone generation. These include the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 and 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini, which stand as the more affordable flagships, alongside the more premium iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max models. These all run on the A14 Bionic chipset and feature a return to the classic squared-off design that we haven't seen since the days of the iPhone 4, along with some other upgrades such as enhanced camera modules. Verizon is giving you $600 back when you buy an iPhone 12 on an unlimited plan — no trade-in required — along with a $1,000 gift card for switching carriers. If you want to go smaller, then you can get the iPhone 12 Mini for free with an unlimited plan — since it retails for $600, the rebate covers the whole cost — but you won't be eligible for the gift card.
Apple iPhone XR (Straight Talk Prepaid) — $249, was $349
There aren't a ton of the 2018 iPhone XS-series handsets floating around anymore, having been discontinued by Apple, but you can still find the budget-friendly iPhone XR on offer from various prepaid carriers if you want something even cheaper than the 2020 iPhone SE — and thankfully without those big "jaw and chin" bezels that the iPhone SE still has that harken back to the iPhone 8. The iPhone XR looks nicely modern with its 6.1-inch display, but it's even more attractive with this $299 price tag, and with Straight Talk Wireless prepaid, you're not getting roped into a plan that makes you pay for what you don't need. If you're wondering how it stacks up to other cheap iPhones, check out our iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone XR hands-on comparison.
Best Cyber Monday iPhone deals — accessories
Apple MagSafe Charger — $30, was $39
With the iPhone 12 series, Apple introduced the MagSafe feature, a built-in magnetic attachment in the back of the phone. This allows the phone to "snap" onto wireless charging pads and other accessories for secure wireless charging. This is the official Apple MagSafe charging pad, and it works with all wireless charging-compatible iPhones (even those without the MagSafe feature) from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 13, as well as AirPods. Cyber Monday iPhone deals and sales knock it down to a great price if you're tired of messing with cables and want to upgrade to a proper wireless charging pad.
Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) — $115, was $159
AirPods aren't exactly iPhone-specific accessories, but let's face it: If you have an iPhone, you need a good pair of buds to match. The AirPods are simple and straightforward, and they're still our favorite budget true wireless earbuds for iOS users. More good news is that they're much cheaper than they were when they first dropped, and alongside these Cyber Monday iPhone deals, you can score a pair of second-gen Apple AirPods for just $109 — one of the lowest prices we've ever seen for these great in-ear headphones.
Apple iPhone Cases (Various Models) — Up to 50% off at Verizon
Apple iPhones are well-built, but you still want to keep your new phone looking shiny with a good case. Hunting down the right one can quickly become a time-consuming chore, though, since there are literally thousands of these things for sale on the internet. Ahead of Cyber Monday, Verizon has more than a hundred iPhone cases on sale for up to $50 off. These discounted cases are available for a bunch of different iPhone models and come in myriad different styles, so you're sure to find something to pair with that new iPhone you have coming.
When do these Cyber Monday iPhone deals end?
Cyber Monday's deals technically don't end until the end of the day, but you could see popular deals going out of stock — and therefore, the deal ending — quicker than you might expect. Adobe Analytics has reported out-of-stock messages being up around 124% compared to pre-pandemic levels, and it's not hard to see that as being down to the ongoing component shortages. If you've got your eye on a deal, it's best to grab it while you've got the chance.

Atreyu drummer comments on direction of new record
Atreyu drummer Brandon Saller recently spoke with Australia's Hysteria Magazine about what fans can expect from the band's forthcoming album. Here's what he had to say:
"For us, there was never a situation of too many cooks in the kitchen when we moved to the major label. We have always been a band that experimented with new sounds and new styles, trying to expand on what we have already done. What Alex is saying with that no major label bullshit is the new music we've been toying with is unapologetically abrasive.
There's nothing very radio about it. There's nothing pop about it. We're trying to get back to where we were when we first started the band, all we wanted to do was fucken destroy a 300 person capacity club. We just want to go back to fast and heavy. We've written and recorded a few songs, and it's coming up awesome, but we are trying to keep our mouths shut on this. I'll say this much, it's very heavy, and a punch in the face for heavy metal fans."

I am a Spanish oil painter, born in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and I currently reside in Los Angeles, California. I started drawing at a very young age, quickly graduating to color pencil, vine charcoal, oil pastels, and water colours, and soon amassed a number of prized ribbons for my artwork. At just 11 years of age, I became the youngest member ever to be voted into the NCC NSTDP (Nation's Capital Chapter of the National Society of Tole and Decorative Painters). After several years creating art in mediums that I did not find fulfilling, I rediscovered my artistic passion during a semester at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, in Washington D.C. This experience left an indelible mark on me, and awakened in me a love for the artistic life. Inspired, I began experimenting with other art forms, such as Opera Singing, Acting, Music, Costume, Set and Makeup Design for Stage, Set Building, Scene Painting, and Sculpture, all while attending the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia.
After concentrating on other artistic endeavors for several years post-college, and at the urging of my now-husband, I returned to my first true passion, oil painting, In late 2016 and early 2017, four of my works were featured in the "Beyond the Lines" gallery at the Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA. I am also delighted to announce that I have been awarded a grant to the Chateau Orquevaux Artist Residency, and will be spending two weeks at this magnificent estate in the French countryside of Champagne-Ardenne, France, in June of 2017!
I spent my early years teaching myself to draw by copying the Masters. I have always seen the world in extraordinary detail, and this hobby satisfied an innate, hyper-sensitivity to detail, which I considered both a blessing and a curse. In fact, I see so much all at once, that, up until recently, I believed that I would not be able to paint well until my eyesight begins to fail me, or until I lose patience and just choose to see less. However, I am learning to live joyfully in the present, and Oil Painting helps me tremendously to live this life purpose.
I always knew that I would fall in love with the medium of oil paint. I love playing with its texture: blending, blocking in, thinning, and layering. I love using a palette knife and even finger-painting at various stages during the life of a painting. I consider my style to be both painterly and impressionistic. I infuse my whole heart and soul into each original work, sharing my journey with the world, in real time.
My aim is for myself to one day be considered one of the Masters of color and composition. My hope is that my artwork will transform the viewer as they absorb the life of the painting, awake their soul and inspire them to live their best self.


It's very hard to imagine life without the web now. In 1989 British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web – the way that interconnected computers share information, link it together and present it to us.
Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA, DFBCS (born 8 June 1955), also known as TimBL, is an English computer scientist. He is credited with the invention of the World Wide Web.
He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989, and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the internet in mid-November the same year.
In 2004, Queen Elizabeth II knighted Berners-Lee for his pioneering work. In April 2009, he was elected a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Sciences. Named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century, Berners-Lee has received a number of other accolades for his invention. He was honoured as the "Inventor of the World Wide Web" during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, in which he appeared in person, working with a vintage NeXT Computer at the London Olympic Stadium He tweeted "This is for everyone", which instantly was spelled out in LCD lights attached to the chairs of the 80,000 people in the audience.
Discover interesting facts about Tim Berners Lee the 20th century inventor of the World Wide Web.
1. He also created the first web browser and editor. The world's first website, http://info.cern.ch, was launched on 6 August 1991. It explained the World Wide Web concept and gave users an introduction to getting started with their websites.
2. After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset. In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create type-setting software for printers.
3. In June 2009, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Berners-Lee would work with the UK government to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force. Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk, a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use.
5. In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he could have easily designed web addresses without the slashes. "There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time", he said in his lighthearted apology.
6. In 2012, Berners-Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th birthday.
7. Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favor of net neutrality and has expressed the view that ISPs should supply "connectivity with no strings attached", and should neither control nor monitor the browsing activities of customers without their expressed consent. He advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right. Berners-Lee participated in an open letter to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He and 20 other Internet pioneers urged the FCC to cancel a vote on 14 December 2017 to uphold net neutrality. They addressed the letter to Senator Roger Wicker, Senator Brian Schatz, Representative Marsha Blackburn and Representative Michael F. Doyle.


Weinstein Construction Corp announced a complete range of basement waterproofing, water damage repair and drainage system installation services for residents and business owners in Pasadena, Glendale, Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
October 16, 2018 ( datsyn.com) - Weinstein Construction Corp, a Los Angeles - based construction contractor, updated its services to provide comprehensive basement waterproofing, drainage system installation and other solutions for commercial and residential clients in Pasadena, Glendale and the surrounding areas. Clients benefit from custom services adapted to their needs and preferences, from crack and water damage repair to waterproofing, mold removal and remediation, drain system installation and many others.
More information can be found at weinsteinconstruction.com/basement.
Working with a professional contractor is the ideal way to protect one's basement against water infiltration and the associated problems.
As one of the leading contractors in the Los Angeles area, Weinstein Construction Corp is constantly investing in the development of high-efficiency services for residents and business owners.
The company provides cutting-edge basement waterproofing services, using an ultra-durable polyethylene liner to seal the walls and protect them against excessive humidity and water vapors.
Clients can also benefit from professional basement drainage system design and installation. The Los Angeles contractor works closely with each client to help them choose the best option for their needs and preferences, including French drains, basement sump pumps and many others.
The recent service update is part of the company's efforts to provide cutting-edge construction services for clients in the Los Angeles area. With more than 40 years of industry experience, Weinstein Construction Corp has developed a strong reputation for professionalism and service quality.
"I recently had Weinstein come over to waterproof the back of my guesthouse. I had looked into other options but the I felt the folks at Weinstein would do the best job: they wrote up a detailed proposal and spent time with me explaining what had to be done. All of the employees were very diligent and respectful (most of the work had to be done on my neighbor's property...they cleaned up at the end of each day) and their work was completed in a very quick and efficient manner. I would definitely recommend their services!"


The Miami Dolphins have filled their open practice squad spot, signing undrafted rookie Kory Sperry.
Sperry replaces offensive tackle Nate Garner, who was promoted to the active roster yesterday after tight end Davon Drew was waived/injured.
A two-sport star from Pueblo, Colo., Sperry played sparingly (say that five times fast!) as a true freshman at Colorado State in 2004 before starting in 2005 and earning honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference honors.
After a solid junior year in 2006 with 380 yards and five touchdowns, Sperry suffered a torn ACL just two games into his senior season in 2007. He petitioned the NCAA for a medical hardship waiver, granting him a fifth year of eligibility.
Sperry returned to full strength as a fifth-year senior in 2008, appearing in all 13 games for the Rams and earning second-team All-MWC honors after racking up 492 yards and six touchdowns on 38 catches.
Sperry (6-5, 238) posted a 4.77 forty-yard dash time and 20 bench press reps of 225 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. He went undrafted in the 2009 NFL Draft in April, but signed with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
Sperry appeared in all four preseason games for the Chargers in 2009—starting the finale—and catching two passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. However, he was unable to secure a backup tight end spot over Brandon Manumaleuna and Kris Wilson, and was waived during final cuts.
As a practice squad player, Sperry will receive a one-year contract worth $88,400. He will wear No. 85 in Miami, which was briefly donned by rookie tight end Davon Drew before he was placed on injure reserve earlier this week.
With the Dolphins opting to stash Davon Drew on injured reserve in 2009, a fourth tight end was needed for practice purposes. Sperry will provide that on the practice squad and is also a solid tight end prospect in his own right.
A very productive player at Colorado State, has good size and strength to go along with decent speed and good hands. He might be more of an H-back type, as he struggles with his blocking at times and isn't used to working out of three-point stance that will be required of him as an NFL tight end.
Don't expect to see Sperry much, if at all, for the Dolphins in 2009. Haynos and Nalbone should stay on the roster all season as the backups to Anthony Fasano, and there's really no telling if Sperry would be the team's first choice as an injury replacement since he simply might not be ready to play at the pro level.
Sperry is simply a solid prospect worth taking a look at the practice squad, but not someone who is likely to contribute any time soon. He could be gone in a day, a week, or he could last all season and be brought back next year to compete for a roster spot. There's just never any telling with these practice squad guys.

Aldi and Kohl's set to benefit from combo stores, report says
Phillip Pessar
Lauren Stine
A partnership between Aldi and Kohl's could drive increased traffic to both stores, according to a recent survey. The first location in the tie-up, under which Aldi builds separate stores next to right-sized Kohl's locations, opened earlier this year in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The retailers have said they could open as many as ten of these combo stores.
Sixty-eight percent of consumers polled by market research firm Field Agent said they would very likely shop both sides of Aldi and Kohl's combo store partnership in the same trip. About 90% of the 3,000 consumers surveyed said they would be at least moderately likely to shop at both the grocery store and the department store, while 38% said they would be "completely" likely to do so.
Nearly half of respondents (49%) would be more likely to shop at a Kohl's store if they knew Aldi was next door, while a slightly higher percentage (52%) said the union would make them more likely to shop at Aldi.
Teaming up with Kohl's helps Aldi reach customers who may not otherwise have occasion to shop at the discount grocer. Food retailers see heavy traffic around meal times and after work, but the partnership with Kohl's could help the chain rope in more daytime and weekend shoppers who are curious about what Aldi has to offer.
Creative partnerships aren't anything new in retail, but grocers are probing opportunities more and more as their core business comes under pressure. In December, Kroger began placing 4,000-square-foot mini grocery stores inside Walgreens around Cincinnati. Hy-Vee is now in the restaurant franchise business with Wahlburgers, while Whole Foods and other grocers have been bringing local restaurant operators into their stores.
Adding Aldi locations next door is part of Kohl's mission to diversify its retail space this year with a focus on health and wellness. With 1,100 stores nationwide, it's partnered with Planet Fitness to open 10 fitness centers next to Kohl's stores and with WW (formerly Weight Watchers) to open an in-store WW Studio in Chicago. Customers can also now return Amazon purchases at select Kohl's locations — a move that has boosted foot traffic in stores.
Adding a discount supermarket chain like Aldi fits right within this strategic plan, offering shoppers a place to pick up healthy snacks and meal ingredients after finishing their shopping at Kohl's. Overall, Field Agent's survey suggests that Aldi is a solid pick for a new partner, with the largest number of respondents choosing Aldi when presented with a list of other possible partners including Kroger, Barnes & Noble, a dollar store and a drug store.
Field Agent Will Kohl's-Aldi Shopping Areas Really Appeal to Shoppers?
