Can some one please translate from spanish to english:? by onebluecat Q: Can some, any fluent spanish speaker please translate: A sus 24 años ha querido ser de todo: pero, eso sí, sin cumplir los pasos y requisitos indispensables para ello. Por su mucho, pero, es inconstante. Vive su vida sin rendirle cuentas a nadie. Bobby posee un arrolladora y una bien ganada fama de ser “el amante perfecto. Gonzalo Cuberos es Alejandro Bermúdez (Sandro) Es un estilista de reconocida fama nacional, y la estrella del atelier de belleza donde trabaja Pepa quien es su asistente desde hace muchos años. Sandro es un manipulador que mantiene siempre a Pepa bajo su “tutela”, en una actitud de “perdona vida” y de ironía, que a veces sacan de quicio. Anabell Rivero es Celina Requena Celina es una de las compañeras de Pepa en la peluquería. Es una mujer joven y bonita, de origen humilde. Mantiene una relación clandestina con Sandro, quien la usa como conejillo de indias en todo lo que tiene que ver con las nuevas tendencias estéticas y cosméticas. Dessideria D’ Caro es Fedora González de Graziani Ella sabía que no era inteligente, pero sabía que era bella, por lo tanto, se dedicó a fortalecer sus puntos altos y se inscribió en cuanto concurso de belleza pudo encontrar. Ulises la conoce porque frecuentaba los restaurantes famosos y bares de moda en un safari de cacería mayor; es decir, estaba buscando un hombre rico con quien casarse, consciente como estaba de que su belleza era un recurso natural no renovable. Flavio Caballero es Gonzalo Iturriza Acaba de culminar sus estudios de criminología en París, y regresa para casarse con su novia de siempre: Cecilia Otaola. No pudo evitar fijarse en la muchacha de servicio Pepa Lunar, a quien sedujo y sólo pudo ofrecerle un rol de amante. Este amor enturbió su luna de miel y aunque fue una excelente esposa nunca tuvieron hijos. Julie Restifo es Imperio Lunar (Pepa) Mujer de temple de acero y alma de niña, hecha para el trabajo desde su más tierna infancia. Cree en los valores fundamentales de la familia y la unión. Madre ejemplar y compañera fiel de su pareja. Gonzalo Iturriza se aprovechó de su inocencia en los años ochenta cuando ella trabaja como sirvienta, de la unión nació una niña. Perucho será su nuevo amor. Henry Soto es Ismael Bencecry Es un encantador de serpientes, más que un destacado siquiatra. Es también el sueño de hombre maduro que describen todas las revistas femeninas: Es culto, educado, atractivo y exitoso. Conquistó a la Yiya Benaím, riquísima judía que le sirvió de trampolín para codearse con la crema y nata de sociedad. Es frío a lo sumo siente un cariñito por dos personas en la vida, su hija Susana... y su amante, la tierna María José. Alfonso Medina es José de Jesús Moncada (Jota-Jota) Jota Jota está bajo la tutela y supervisión de María José en el hospital. Proviene de una larga dinastía de médicos; por lo que él mismo no sabe si estudió por presión familiar, tradición o vocación personal. Eligió la ginecología y obstetricia, porque considera que la mujer es sin dudas “su especialidad”. Es un picaflor empedernido y según sus propias palabras un super “atleta sexual”. Juan Pablo Raba es Luis Ángel Perdomo Es un joven escorpión, de gran pasión e intensidad, brillante en su profesión y ambicioso. Su defecto: demasiado serio y desconfiado. Tuvo una infancia muy dura tras el abandono de su madre Isabel y el malhumor y gélido corazón de su padre Rafael. Sin embargo, él soñaba con un hogar feliz y la mujer perfecta, que cree es Selene su novia, lo traicionará. Comenzará su lucha desesperada por sobreponerse y conocerá a Pepita Lunar. Juan Carlos Alarcón es Luis Raúl Graziani Es el “Niño problema” aunque ya no es un niño. Y sus padres se sienten responsables de su mala conducta porque este brillante muchacho prometía, al terminar bachillerato, el mejor de los futuros. Pero la terquedad de su padre por “graduarlo en materia sexual” se convertiría en su mayor desgracia. Un incidente lo deja paralítico y con un trauma que afecta su virilidad. Su rebeldía, su amargura sucumbe ante los encantos de Pepita Lunar. Lilibeth Morillo es María José Maneiro (Mari Pepi) Médico por vocación. Todos en el hospital la llaman “Sor María José”. Es metódica y organizada hasta la neurosis. Obstinada, clara en sus objetivos y con un gran autocontrol sobre sus emociones. Pero sólo sus amores conocen el calor inmenso del amor de esta perfeccionista. La amistad con Pepa data de años atrás. Lo que nadie sabe es que desde hace años es la amante clandestina de un famoso psiquiatra. Marisa Román es Mariana López Es la mejor amiga de Pepita. Es extrovertida, dinámica, divertida, coqueta, y enamora. Piensa que cuando se ama de verdad, no se debe pensar mucho: “el amor da para todo”, dirá, incluso para perdonar lo imperdonable”. En el fondo es una gran conformista. Carlos Olivier es Pedro Galán (Perucho) Es simpatiquísimo y, absolutamente imprudente y desquiciado. Ama a Pepa y a sus hijos, pero no puede dejar de volte

What's your MLB power poll look like? by Corona Q: Rank teams from 1-30, regardless of division or league. Mine looks something along the lines of: 1. Rays..... Best all-around offense; great defense; extremely talented, young rotation. 2. Phillies 3. Yankees..... Jeter is 36, Rivera is 39, and Posada is 38, and all three will be leaned on heavily. 4. Red Sox 5. Cardinals 6. Dodgers.... The lineup is maturing, Manny isn't suspended, and the pitching is, as always, great. 7. White Sox 8. Twins.... Losing Nathan hurts; even with Liriano back, it's gonna be tough. 9. Rangers.... Added Vlady and Harden, and will have Hamilton, Feliz, Borbon, and Andrus all year. 10. Cubs 11. Angels 12. Mariners..... This is assuming Bedard is back sooner rather than later, and that Lee is okay. 13. Braves 14. Brewers.... The offense is willing, but the pitching is weak. 15. Indians 16. Rockies 17. Marlins 18. Tigers.... They could really surprise... but too many question marks for me. 19. D-backs.... See #18. 20. Astros.... Oswalt and Wandy will be good, but after that it's a crapshoot. 21. Mets..... If they were healthy, they'd be in the top 10. 22. Orioles 23. Giants.... Their offense is just Bad. 24. Reds 25. A's 26. Blue Jays 27. Royals 28. Padres 29. Nationals 30. Pirates

A: Rays first? bold move. I won't rank all thirty but I'll give you my top 5. 1. Phillies- amazing offense to begin with. Stronger pitching staff with Halladay, Hamels, and Happ. 2. Yanks- Good pitching staff and all around good offense 3. Cards- No holes in offensive lineup. Great pitching in Wainwright and Carpenter 4. Mariners- Lee and Felix lead the staff and Ichiro leads developing offense 5. Red Sox- always a force to be reckoned with. Martinez helps out offense a lot

Could you tell me where i can improve on my fantasy mlb team? by coltsdude189 Q: 1. (2) Miguel Cabrera (Det - 1B) 2. (15) Evan Longoria (TB - 3B) 3. (18) Ryan Braun (Mil - OF) 4. (31) Clayton Kershaw (LAD - SP) 5. (34) Buster Posey (SF - C,1B) 6. (47) Josh Johnson (Fla - SP) 7. (50) Derek Jeter (NYY - SS) 8. (63) Zack Greinke (Mil - SP) 9. (66) Martín Prado (Atl - 2B,3B) 10. (79) Colby Rasmus (StL - OF) 11. (82) Tommy Hanson (Atl - SP) 12. (95) Neftali Feliz (Tex - RP) 13. (98) Justin Upton (Ari - OF) 14. (111) Carlos Peña (ChC - 1B) 15. (114) Phil Hughes (NYY - SP) 16. (127) Bobby Abreu (LAA - OF) 17. (130) Ryan Dempster (ChC - SP) 18. (143) Tim Hudson (Atl - SP) 19. (146) Jason Bay (NYM - OF) 20. (159) Ian Stewart (Col - 3B) 21. (162) Rafael Soriano (NYY - RP) 22. (175) Carlos Santana (Cle - C) 23. (178) Chad Billingsley (LAD - SP) 24. (191) Ricky Nolasco (Fla - SP) 25. (194) Michael Bourn (Hou - OF)

A: 2B and RP. Martin Prado is freakishly overrated. No one can tell me what he does besides hitting for average...Why? Because all he does is hit for average lol. He's a one-trick pony with no power or speed. Hell, even Placido Polanco has some speed, but Prado has absolutely nothing except for batting average, which (mind you) is the most fickle of all the major hitting categories in fantasy baseball as sometimes players' averages can fluctuate 40 or 50 points from one year to the next. If Prado's average plummets to below .280 this season then he would have no value at all. I like Feliz a lot, but I believe he's going to end up being a SP sooner rather than later. Apart from that, the only other RP you have is Soriano and he's not the closer so you might as well just punt saves. Other than that, you look pretty good at all the other positions. You have a surplus at C with Posey and Santana and I'm sure someone will be willing to pay a pretty penny for Posey's services. IF you want a 2B, then put Posey on the trading block...By the way, how the hell did Carlos Santana fall all the way to the 175th pick!!!!! How did Billingsley fall to the 178th pick! HOW DID JUSTIN UPTON FALL TO PICK 98...AND WHY DID YOU TAKE COLBY RASMUS AND MARTIN PRADO OVER HIM?! Whenever you guys hold another draft, I want to join :-)

A: It's not bad at all, as long as your in a 12+ team league. You have a good mix of proven veterans and young players with up side. I think you may switch some bench and bullpen guys early, mostly because with Soriano setting up and Feliz moving to the rotation you don't have a closer.

A: It can be understood, its not very correct but it's clear. blocks = blocos? I didnt get the point... find = achar respeito pelas suas paes => pelos seus PAIS. divermintida => divertida? Ele esta de Madeira => está EM Madeira idiotic => idiota Tips: estar (eu estou, voce está) = verb to be, meaning feeling, place. Its an state, one situation. Eu estou em casa (I am [at] home) ser (eu sou, voce é) = verb to be, meaning the way you feel, look, etc. Its used for description. Eu sou um rapaz bonito (I am a beautiful guy)

Are there any punk or emo or rock bands that did a version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen?"? by Q: I know bands like MCR and The Used did songs like "All I Want For Christmas" and "Taste of Christmas" and I have those albums "A Santa Cause: It's A Punk Rock Christmas" one and two, but GRYMG is my favorite carol and I want a better version of it. Also, if you know any punk/emo/rock versions of songs other than those listed below and above, I'd appreciate that.

2011 MLB Predictions? by Q: 2011 Standings (Current) American League East New York Yankees32-24 Boston Red Sox32-261 game out Tampa Bay Rays30-283 game out Toronto Blue Jays29-294 game out Baltimore Orioles26-306 game out Central Cleveland Indians33-23 Detroit Tigers30-273.5 game out Chicago White Sox 28-327 game out Kansas City Royals 25-33 9 game out Minnesota Twins 20-3713.5game out West Texas Rangers 33-26 Seattle Mariners 30-282.5 game out Los Angeles Angels 30-30 3.5 game out Oakland Athletics 27-32 6 game out National League East Philadelphia Phillies 34-24 Florida Marlins 31-25 2 game out Atlanta Braves 32-27 2.5 game out New York Mets 27-31 7 game out Washington Nationals 25-339 game out Central St. Louis Cardinals 35-25 Milwaukee Brewers 32- 262 game out Cincinnati Reds30-294.5 game out Pittsburgh Pirates28-295.5 game out Chicago Cubs23-3310 game out Houston Astros23-3611.5game out West Arizona Diamondbacks33-26 San Francisco Giants32-260.5 game out Colorado Rockies27-305 game out Los Angeles Dodgers27-326 game out San Diego Padres26-337 game out Well, this has been an interesting start to the season so far. Who would'a thought the Indians were going to lead the Twins by 13.5 games? And the Mariners are only 2.5 games out of first. Jose Bautista has turned into Barry Bonds, while Albert Pujols has been pretty bad compared to his other seasons. My predictions! AL East: Red Sox AL Central: Indians AL West: Mariners NL East: Phillies NL Central: Brewers NL West: Rockies Logic: AL East- I picked the Red Sox because I think the comeback of Carl Crawford will help the Red Sox tremendously taking over the East. I also think Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon are playing in-over-their heads, and will regress to their true talent level. The Rays will make it a three-way race until the very end though AL Central- The Twins looks absolutely terrible, and I expect them to continue their current trend. The Indians are not playing in-over-their heads though, because a lot of players have emerged for their team. AL West- The Mariners have been the best team in baseball since April 17th. Neftali Feliz will regress, because he has gotten very lucky so far this season. The Mariners will acquire a big-name player at the trade deadline (David Wright or Carlos Beltran) and Dustin Ackley will provide a huge offensive boost NL East- Phillies are good, and Josh Johnson on the DL will hurt the Marlins. NL Central- Kyle Lohse will regress, but Pujols will play like himself from here on. But it won't be enough for Fielder, Greinke, Marcum, Braun and the Brewers. NL West- DiamondBacks are playing better than their true talent level as well, and will regress. Giants losing Posey for the season hurts them A LOT as he was their only offensive force, though getting Pablo back will help. Rockies finally have the Ubaldo Jiminez of 2010 it seems, and with the Tulo getting luckier on base hits, Rockies will win the West. World Series- The Phillies win the World Series against the Cleveland Indians in 7 games AL MVP- Jose Bautista NL MVP- Ryan Braun AL CY- Jered Weaver NL CY- Roy Halladay AL ROY- Michael Pineda NL ROY- Domonic Brown 2011 Midseason trades: Jose Reyes traded to Blue Jays for Travis D'Arnaud Matt Kemp traded to Mariners for Nick Franklin, Taijuan Walker Hunter Pence traded to Phillies for Domonic Brown 2012 offseason: Albert Pujols signs with Cubs for 7 years/$210 million Prince Fielder signs with Mariners for 7 years/$165 million Jose Reyes signs with Blue Jays for 7 years/$142 million Lance Berkman resigns with Cardinals for 3 years/$36 million CC Sabathia signs with Yankees for 7 years/$200 million What are some of your predictions?

A: Gee, I hope your right about the Mariners. WS - RedSox vs Phillies, the rest doesn't matter as obviously, they don't make it. Your picks for awards is well thought out, but your off season signings - not in this economy. But then again - what do I know?

Can someone help me w/ spanish translation? by canflippuck6 Q: We are doing a skit in spanish. Basically it's an interview w/ a someone who has a spanish heritage (we chose A-Rod). I just have a couple questions that I am unclear if they are grammatically correct. Below the actual dialogue is the part in english, or what I'm trying to say. 1. ¿Que tan especial cuando rompias el registro de jonron de Barry Bonds? Si romperé el registro de jonron de Barry Bonds será muy especial, si lo hago. Esperamos que si rompo realmente el registro de las Obligaciones, el béisbol se hará el deporte popular que una vez era. How special will it be when you end up breaking Barry Bonds’ homerun record? If I break Barry Bonds' homerun record it will be very special. Hopefully (con suerte) baseball will become very popular. 2. ¿Qué tan especial era su quinientos jonrón? Cuando lo golpeé no pensé era muy especial. Hoy, miro a ello como una hito muy especial; sólo 24 otro jugadores lo han hecho. How special was your 500th homerun? When I hit it I didn’t really think it was that special. Today, I now look at it as a very special milestone; only 24 other players have ever accomplished the feat. 3. ¿Tenía cirugia, que tan dificil esta no comenzar el temporada con los Yankees? Es dificil ya; quiero ser juego. Con suerto, sólo seré ido durante seis semanas. You just had surgery, how tough is it not to start the season with the Yankees? It’s already tough; I want to be out there playing. Hopefully, I will only be out for six weeks. 4. ¿Hablando los Marinos y su madre, qué estuvo reaccionar cuando los Marinos seleccionaron tú? Mi madre estuvo muy feliz. Durante la selección, lloró mucho, pero lloré más. Speaking of the Mariners and your mother, what was her reaction when they drafted you? She was very happy. During the draft she cried a lot, I cried more.

A: 1. ¿Que tan especial sería cuando rompas el record de jonron de Barry Bonds? Si rompo el record de jonron de Barry Bonds será muy especial. Esperamos que si rompo realmente su record el béisbol se hará el deporte popular que una vez fue. 2. ¿Qué tan especial era su quinientabo jonrón?Cuando lo golpeé no pensé que fuera muy especial. Hoy, miro eso como una hazaña muy especial; sólo 24 jugadores más lo han hecho. 3. Acabas de tener una cirugia, que tan dificil es no comenzar la temporada con los Yankees? Es dificil ya quiero estar allá afuera jugando . Con suerte, sólo estaré fuera durante seis semanas. 4. ¿Hablando los Marinos y su madre, cual fue su reacción cuando los Marinos te seleccionaron ? Mi madre estuvo muy feliz. Durante la selección, lloró mucho, pero lloré más. Ok this is all... You have a little mistakes about spell, but now is all ok. Good luck!!

A: Well it depends on your needs but in general I would rate them: 1. Eric Chávez (Oak - 3B) Not having a great year by his standards but has a good track record in the past as a power hitting 3rd baseman 2. Bill Hall (Mil - 3B,SS,OF) - Both a speed and power threat and plays 3 positions. Batting avg a little low. 3. Garrett Atkins (Col - 3B) NYYFA5428961/2502761361807343.. Had a really bad start to the season but is starting to heat up now and had a huge year last year and he plays half his games in hitters paradise Coors Field. 4. Mark Teahen (KC - 3B,OF) FA12213373/2583573521155377.28... One of the most under-rated all-around players. Will help you a bit in almost every offensive category 5. Brandon Inge (Det - 3B) FA23513855/21637553410011353.2.. If you really need power this guy (or Chavez) would be the best choice. But you have to put up with Inge's low batting average. 6. Melvin Mora (Bal - 3B) @SDFA14613563/2534063371511035... Kind of the exact opposite of Inge. Great hitter for average with some power and speed. I wouldn't recommend taking any of the others.All of those 6 have their upsides. You must play in a really uncompetitive league if all of them are on the waiver wire.

(163) Torii Hunter 29. (174) Jhonny Peralta 30. (175) A.J. Pierzynski Since all teams look good, hard to say, so I am looking for opinions. 2 of each position players, 4 outfielders plus 4 utility players.

A: There's no real way of telling who's going to win this. Anything can and will happen. I say team Roy Hobbs, because he managed to draft Ryan Ludwick in the last round.

All time strikeout (K) record.? by Coolio Q: Well whoever is looking at this i'd like to hear your opinion on who will defeat the K record? So far I think it'll be Scott Kazmir or Felix Hernandez. Scott has about 950 k's and he's only 24... so by the time he is 30 he'll have 2000 k's so did Nolan Ryan. See what I mean? Feliz is 22 and has around 590 strikeouts he rapidly gets better so I think he'll have 200 by the time he is 30 as well.

A: Just remember that with age, especially with pitchers today, aging diminishes good starts and 5,000 strikeouts in my opinion, will never be broken again and it's hard to know what's coming in the future. A possible career changing injury? could be.

Which of these MLb younger players would you rather have on your team? by Q: These guys were all at one time big prospects, and now are out to prove themselves. WHo would you rather have on your team for the future? C- Carlos Santana-25-CLE / Matt Weiters-24-BAL CF-Peter Boujos-24-LAA / Michael Brantley-23-CLE CF-Dexter Fowler-25-COL / Austin Jackson-24-DET LSP-David Price-25-TB / Clayton Kershaw-23-LAD RRP-Daniel Bard-25-BOS / Natali Feliz-22-TEX RSP-Daniel Hudson-24-ARZ / Kyle Drabek-23-TOR OF-Andrew McCutchen-24-PIT / Justin Upton-23-ARZ And of the 2 flame throwers Stephen Strasburg-22-WAS / Aroldis Chapman-23 CIN Write another one good comparison down if you have one to.

A: C- Santana CF: Brantley. As an Angel fan, Bourjos is nice but nothing special. Brantley looks real good. CF: Austin Jackson LSP: Kershaw RRP: Netfali Feliz, without a doubt. Bard looks real shaky and insconsistent at times. RSP: Kyle Drabek OF: Justin Upton I would choose Chapman over Strasburg only because I'm uncertain about Strasburg's future after Tommy John surgery. Mark Prior, who was at one time considered a future superstar, faltered after his Tommy John surgery. I got one. Which catcher would you rather have: Hank Conger, 22 years old, or Jesus Montero, 21 years old? 1B: Ike Davis, 24 years old, or Justin Smoak, 24 years old. OF: Mike Stanton or Jason Heyward. Both are 21 years of age.

fantasy baseball question? by Q: ok im in a long time keeper league that involves money but i also usually play 1 or 2 free yahoo teams. This was the first year i did the bid auction..My question is this..if you start with 260 dollars why do most of the teams spend more than half on their first three picks? Am i missing something? I usually pony up 45-50 for one of the best but then i sit back and watch these idiots load up on offense..Yeah those 3 guys are great but how are they going to spend 60-80 on their remaining 17-18 spots? I dont care which 3 offensive players you have its not going to carry you... If you have zero relief and your best pitcher is aj burnett its going to be a long season.. Especially in head to head play. ended up with a team of 1. joe mauer 2. Paul konerko 3. Choone figgins 4. Elvis Andrus 5.Casey Mcghee 6. Carlos Gonzales 7. Jacoby Ellsbury 8. Vlad Guerrero 9. Mike Stanton 10. Carlos Santana 11. lance Berkman 12. Tyler Colvin 13 Justin Verlander 14. Clayton Kershaw 15 Roy Oswalt 16 Adam Wainwright 17 Chris Carpenter 18 Mat latos 19. Brian wilson 20.Jonathon Papelbon 21 Drew Storen 22.neftali Feliz 23. jake peavy 24. carlos zambrano a few other guys and i ended up having 35 left over...Some of these other guys didnt even have money left to get a few positions..what are those who draft mindset? Pitching is half the points. in theory if i could take runs and stolen bases plus dominate in pitching i would be at the top or close to it...right?

A: In theory you're correct. You walked away with a stacked rotation and some great hitters on a balanced offense. As for what the other managers are thinking.. here is the backend strategy to auctions. Say there are 23 roster spots to fill, and they blow half their load of 3-4 guys. Granted, they'll nad a few here and there in the 20-10 $ range, but they'll mostly be waiting until the end and just nominating players. It doesnt matter how much money you spend on the other players, because you have to fill the entire roster, so by the end they can pick whoever they want for $1 apiece until their roster is full. Maybe they're high on some comeback players and/or sleepers. There is strategy is every approach to auction drafting, but investing wisely is the most common and usually the right remedy. You ended up with a stacked pitching staff and should fair very well in your league. Good luck!

How did my draft go? by Ari Q: Please rate from 1-10. 12 Team, Points only league. First round: 10th pick. Odd People 1. (10) David Wright 2. (15) Ichiro Suzuki 3. (34) Mark Teixeira 4. (39) Derrek Lee 5. (58) Ben Sheets 6. (63) Billy Wagner 7. (82) Brian Roberts 8. (87) Carlos Guillén 9. (106) Iván Rodríguez 10. (111) Chad Cordero 11. (130) Rocco Baldelli 12. (135) Todd Jones 13. (154) Scott Podsednik 14. (159) Nomar Garciaparra 15. (178) Chris Capuano 16. (183) Joe Crede 17. (202) Javier Vázquez 18. (207) Willy Taveras 19. (226) Kenny Rogers 20. (231) Pedro Feliz 21. (250) Mike González 22. (255) Mark Loretta 23. (274) Rafael Soriano 24. (279) Mark Mulder

A: You have power and speed. Teixeira and D Lee were value picks, they shouldn't have been on the board when you got them. Sheets probably a little too soon, but you needed pitching there and followed with Wagner which is solid. You almost can't go wrong with Pudge at catcher. Rocco Baldelli, if he stays healthy, may surprise a few people this year. Pitching needs help, outside of Sheets (who is fragile), Kenny Rogers is your most consistent starter. He will get wins but don't expect much help in the K area. It might be wise to back up Todd Jones with Joel Zumaya in case he loses the closer job. Soriano and Mike Gonzalez can be used as trade bait for a starter to a team that is looking for closer help, there is no way Wickman can keep that job all season. Loretta will be pretty much useless, he is old and on a team that may not score a lot of runs. Ichiro is in a contract year and may light it up this year. Garciaparra might be a good trade candidate for starting pitching as well, you already have 2 top ten first basemen.

Should I have stayed up all night? by Q: Well, I did, and now I'm gonna be all loopy at the family Christmas Eve lunch. Its gonna be muy muy grasiosa---I can't remember if thats funny or fun or what but whatever!!!! FELIZ NAVIDAD Y A MERRY CHRISTMAS Y A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Good luck with the relatives cuz I'm certainly gonna need it. & if you think I'm weird just blame it on 24 hrs without sleep.

A: m8 ive stayed up until 4 am eveyry night this holiday - just have a red bulkl and ull be fine

Mguel Layun scores his first goal with Atalanta. Your thoughts? by D.P. RIP Antonio De Nigris Q: http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/internacional/noticias/2009/07/24/miguel-layun-feliz-por-anotar-con-atalanta He thinks that he has a good chance of starting in the next game. What are your thoughts?

A: I've seen him play many times at Veracruz. He's a pretty good left winger. He can play right winger as well. He's got good speed, explosion on the attack, always gives his 110%. I think he'll do good.

Which gym is better in the Los Feliz area - 24hr fitness or LA fitness? by Vivian C Q: I'm looking for a gym near Los Feliz with very good fitness classes and reasonable prices. Out of 24 hr fitness in hollywood and la fitness in hollywood, which would you guys recommend? Thank you!

A: LA Fitness tends to be very busy at the worst times, plus they have specific open times, and you sometimes have to wait a while for the machine you want. 24 Hr Fitness has their busy times, but they are open ALL day, so you can go whenever you feel like it, even if it's 2am. They also tend to not be as packed as LA Fitness, but they aren't as high tech as LA Fitness. I would choose 24 Fitness in my opinion. It comes down to what's more convenient (distance from where you live, and times they are open), and what's more in your price range. Before you officially join, get a free pass to both, and see which one you like better. Nearly all gyms will let you have a free trial.
