The membership allows for seven days stays at 4 and 5 star resorts all over the world at vacation hotspots for bargain prices of $298 to $799 per week.

I compared travel reservations with Expedia, Travelocity and Hotels.com and it’s also quite normal for Global Resorts booking at to run between $1,500 and $2,300 at other travel sites. The $298 8 day/7 night stay is a component with the Hot Weeks specials and includes paradise destinations like Hawaii, Barbados, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and Greece. I ensured to make use of the identical travel dates in each comparison.

Global Resorts pays a $1,000 to the representative who makes the $2,095 sale for the lifetime travel membership.

Jonathan Bentz of Fantasy Baseball Dugout discusses the Michael Pineda for Jesus Montero trade and its impact on fantasy baseball 2012.

Michael Pineda to the Yankees: Fantasy Analysis

In getting traded to the New York Yankees, Miguel Pineda immediately gets thrown into a spotlight/pressure cooker situation. He’s projecting right now as no. 2 in the Yankees rotation behind CC Sabathia — so you know he will be in line for some wins if he can keep it consistent. After his All-Star start to the 2011 season – he struggled with getting wins down the stretch.

Obviously, wins aren’t as important in fantasy baseball as they are in real life. This is one of the great inaccuracies of fantasy baseball, but one of the biggest reasons great pitchers on bad teams still have a lot of value (see Hernandez, Felix circa 2010). As we start projecting player rankings for the 2012 draft season, look for Pineda to be a top 25 starting pitcher. It would seem that Pineda could be one of the biggest draft day values in fantasy baseball 2012 – and he should be a solid no. 2 in fantasy baseball, too.

For 2012 fantasy baseball analysis of Jesus Montero,

Jesus Montero to the Mariners: Fantasy Analysis

After what seemed to be years and years of waiting, Jesus Montero can FINALLY become a starting catcher. Ironically, incumbent Yankees catcher Jorge Posada finally retired this week.

The Mariners youth movement was hurt by the loss of Pineda, but they now have a great core of players who are all under 25. King Felix obviously is now the crown jewel of their pitching staff. Montero, first baseman Justin Smoak, second baseman Dustin Ackley, third baseman Kyle Seager, and left fielder Mike Carp are all 25 or under.

While he projects on the Mariners depth chart as a DH, Montero will retain eligibility at catcher. Because of his availability as a catcher, he becomes an instant top 10 catcher in fantasy baseball simply based on how his 2011 production projects over 162 games. After about 9 catchers in fantasy baseball, the value drops significantly – especially in terms of power numbers. Check out our top 25 catcher rankings for 2012 to see who’s ahead – and behind – of Montero in our rankings.

The Leagues Best 2nd Baseman

The second base position is evolving. You have to be able to hit for power, average, you need a strong arm and you must have range. Who in the league has all those attributes??*(all based on the 2011 season and projection for 2012 season.)

1. Robinson Cano, New York Yankees

BRONX CHEER: Robinson Cano is baseball's best second baseman.

2011 Season: .302AVG/ 28HR/ 118RBI/ 104RUNS/ 8SB?Summary:

He has the sweetest swing in the major leagues right now, definitely, top 5 of all time. He knows how to hit and he has the smoothest fielding ability in the league. Why is he #1 over Kinsler? Not because he is a Yankee, everyone knows he would be just as good on any other team, but because he gets big hits and big RBIs in big games. He has a knack for getting on base an a knack for scoring runs. Definitely top 5 hitters in the league right now.?2012

Projection: .310AVG/ 25HR/ 110RBI/ 95RUNS/ 20SB

2. Ian Kinsler, Texas Rangers

2011 Season: .255AVG/ 32HR/ 77RBI/ 121RUNS/ 30SB?Summary:

Definitely the safest bet for second place. He is a very good fielder with a very strong arm. He’s got a good eye at the plate but seems to be in a pitchers count every at bat because of his aggressiveness. He’s got great power, more power than Cano, but still lacks the average. Great speed and seems like he scores every time he gets on base. Look for a strong season in 2012 because he might need to carry the team.?2012

Projection: .260AVG/ 28HR/ 90RBI/ 115RUNS/ 25SB

3. Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox

2011 Season: .307AVG/ 21HR/ 91RBI/ 103RUNS/ 26SB

Summary: Five feet, nine inches. I bet you have heard that so many times, but it’s true. His small stature packs a pretty huge punch. A great fielder, a great player, a great hitter and a great teammate.?2012

Projection: .300AVG/ 18HR/ 87RBI/ 95RUNS/ 20SB

4. Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati Reds

2011 Season: .300AVG/ 18HR/ 82RBI/ 94RUNS/ 14SB

Summary: Multiple Gold Gloves, and many more to come. He’s got power to all fields and he flies around the bases. He’s got one of the funkiest stances I have ever seen, but it works. He’s got a passion for the game and a passion for playing hard. He is the leader of that team and he will let everyone knows what he thinks. He plays like Orlando Hudson, and being a big fan of Orlando makes me a big fan of this guy. Look for a big big year from Brandon.

2012 Projection: .310AVG/ 25HR/ 90RBI/ 100RUNS/ 27SB

5. Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies

JACKS: Chase Utley and wife Jen are very active supporters of the Pennsylvania ASPCA.

2011 Season: (103 Games) .259AVG/ 11HR/ 44RBI/ 54RUNS/ 14SB

Summary: You gotta love this guy. Utley is a professional, he is the definition of the term. He plays hard and he plays well whenever he gets in. Though I am a Mets fan, I do Respect this guy. You got to! He has earned it. Let’s hope he stays healthy in 2012. 

2012 Projection: (150 Games) .270AVG/ 28HR/ 86RBI/ 110RUNS/ 10SB

6. Neil Walker, Pittsburgh Pirates

2011 Season: .273AVG/ 12HR/ 83RBI/ 76RUNS/ 9SB

Summary: Simply put, he had a fantastic season last year. It was a very nice season to watch. He has got a great glove and the fans of Pittsburgh love that young nucleus they have growing. With players like Andrew McCutchen, James McDonald, Garrett Jones, and their closer Joel Hanrahan, look for above .500 seasons for the next few seasons.

2012 Projection: .280/ 19HR/ 86RBI/ 90RUNS/ 18SB

T7. Rickie Weeks, Milwaukee Brewers

2011 Season: (118 Games) .269AVG/ 20HR/ 49RBI/ 77RUNS/ 9SB

Summary: Hurt for part of last year, and really got nothing to work in the playoffs. He was 6 for 41 in the two playoff series against the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks. Definitely has raw power but the glove and the average need to get a tad it better. Look for the same type of season this year, and likely without Prince Fielder he will have a little bit more pressure on him to produce.

2012 Projection:(145 Games) .260AVG/ 25HR/ 80RBI/ 75RUNS/ 15SB

T7. Ben Zobrist, Tampa Bay Rays

2011 Season: .269AVG/ 20HR/ 91RBI/ 99RUNS/ 19SB

Summary: In my opinion, one of the most valuable players on any team in the league. He can play at every single position and he switch hits. He hits for power, average, he can field and he can throw. Definitely one of those players you want on your team.

2012 Projection: .280AVG/ 18HR/ 95RBI/ 106RUNS/ 27SB

8. Dan Uggla, Atlanta Braves

2011 Season: .233AVG/ 36HR/ 82RBI/ 88RUNS/ 1SB

Summary: If I made a list of the biggest arms in the league, He would be number 1. He has got so much raw power, but he really needs to get that average up and he needs to be better with the glove. He was under the Mendoza line for the beginning of last season. That rampage he went on brought a) the Braves to the playoff hunt, and b) his average up a lot. Though he ended the season at a .233 average, look for more quality at-bats and a higher average in 2012.

2012 Projection: .250AVG/ 28HR/ 86RBI/ 90RUNS/ 5SB

9. Howie Kendrick, Los Angeles Angels

2011 Season: .285AVG/ 18HR/ 63RBI/ 86RUNS/ 14SB

Summary: One of the most under-rated guys in the league. He goes out there and plays the game hard. In 2012 look for a big season because of the acquisition of Albert Pujols. In that entire lineup, Kendrick might benefit the most.

2012 Projection: .300AVG/ 20HR/ 70RBI/ 106RUNS/ 16SB

10. Danny Espinosa, Washington Nationals

2011 Season: .236AVG/ 21HR/ 66RBI/ 72RUNS/ 17SB

Summary: Plainly put, what an incredible rookie year. He got his name out there as a potentially great player. Though the average was low, he had big hits in big spots. Look for plenty more big hits and big home runs for many years to come.

2012 Projection: .250AVG/ 23HR/ 70RBI/ 82HR/ 12SB

New rims, such as the XD Series rims, can spruce up your ride instantly. Rims may last forever but sometimes sticking with the manufacturer’s standard and boring selections just ruin the look of a good ride. Besides looks, another reason to choose aluminum alloy rims is to improve the performance of your vehicle.

When you customize your SUV or lifted truck, one of the first things you think of is updating with some new chrome wheels and tires. These enhance the appearance and the style of your vehicle with a clean, uncluttered look. Some people really want the rim design to stand out so they choose to plus-size. This is done by upsizing the rim’s size and adding low-profile tires which catches the eye of many and causes a few jealous stares.

Another advantage to plus-sizing is how it improves the handling of a vehicle. The rims help low-profile tires keep their shape and prevent bulging sides when taking turns. That means that you have better steering control when taking tight turns, which is important for high performance tires or aggressive driving.

Whether plus-sized or not, alloy rims are lighter weight than steel which leads to better comfort and performance. Because they are lighter, it reduces the weight on the suspension, allowing for a better grip to the road and better steering response. That lightness also has another plus to it as it can provide better gas mileage, saving you a few cents in gas overtime.

Alloy rims will also help to reduce the risk of fading and brake failure while increasing the lifespan of your brakes. Because of the way they are designed, there is more airflow over the brakes to reduce the risk of overheating by cooling them down. That in turn provides a safer driving experience and quicker brake-response time by improving the performance of the brakes.

Besides being able to dissipate heat better to keep brakes cool, they are strong rims. They are more resistant than steel to bending and that strength helps to minimize metal cracking. They always look good because they are easy to keep clean and rust-resistant. The unique designs are possibly because of the low-pressure casting technique used in designing them which allows for an adaptable and flexible metal.

Because of how great these look on a vehicle, their popularity has soared. And that popularity has caused manufactures to create an immense selection of choices. Depending on what you are looking for, that can be a plus or minus because it can make choosing the perfect rim a bit harder. One thing to keep in mind when choosing is the bolt pattern. If you have unusual bolt patterns, the choices are limited in these.

Shopping for new XD Series custom wheels can be a bit daunting when you see rows upon rows of choices. That means you need to think about how the tire and wheel packages will perform and handle as you look for ones that will enhance the appearance of your vehicle. Even manufacturers have noticed that tires wheels are the top choice now, fitting their new cars with them from the start. You can spruce up your vehicle’s appearance at the same time you improve its handling by choosing aluminum alloy rims like the XD series wheels.

Look at you getting two posts today, which we will continue until next October.  It’s an exciting time to be alive.  Kinda like in the 1300′s when doorknobs were invented and people no longer needed to axe down the door to enter their house.  So how about those Cleveland Indians brimming with prospects?  It’s the biggest Native American bounty since the original Thanksgiving.  Fingers crossed these Indians aren’t practically wiped from existence, then almost 400 years later Lonnie Chisenhall‘s great-great grandniece is allowed to open a casino.  Lonnie Chisenhall was called up in the middle of last season, like a firefly without a light.  In his first full month, he hit two homers and .217, like a slow torch burning.  In his 2nd month, he didn’t do much better, like a key that could use a little turning.  Seemed like he should’ve been getting somewhere.  Then in September, he hit four homers and .279.  Like a madman laughing at the rain.  If you knew those were Soul Asylum lyrics, pat yourself on the back…with a knife.  I’ll take that September month from Chisenhall every day of the week and twice on Muesday if we can get that from him every month next year, but can we?  Let’s see what we can expect of Lonnie Chisenhall in 2012 fantasy baseball and what makes him a sleeper?

Chisenhall’s BABIP during his torrid-for-him month of September was .308.  That’s close to doable for him, but his walk rate was pathetic last year.  In 21 games in August, he didn’t walk once.  His K-rate wasn’t great either.  So .279 seems doable, but highly unlikely.  He looks more like a .250 hitter.  In September, his HR/FB was 16.0%, which is a little high for him, making 4 homers per month on the high side, too.  For 2012, he’s gonna be more of a 3 to 4 homer per month guy, so you’re looking at between 18-24 homers.  The Indians are saying that Jack Hannahan will compete in Spring Training for the 3rd base job with Chisenhall, but that’s just talk to motivate Chisenhall.  There’s no way Jack Hannahan will win the starting job unless he brings one of his ligers into the clubhouse and releases it on Chisenhall.  Since Lonnie was able to finally start to put it together in September, I’m gonna be optimistic and say he gives us 65/20/80/.250/3.  Not exactly rewriting the record books, but more than serviceable if you can get him cheap in your fantasy drafts and he has some upside.   Muahahahahaha!  Sorry, still laughing like a madman at the rain.

First base delivers a lot of pop in fantasy baseball.  Look for these guys to add great value and return on your investment when you draft first basemen in your 2012 fantasy baseball draft.  There are some solid sleepers at the first base position in 2012 so you may want to wait until wait in your draft to pick up these guys if you can’t land one of the top tier guys.

SAFE: Paul Goldschmidt barely exceeded the at bats to be considered a Rookie of the Year candidate in 2012, but he's a safe sleeper bet to have a big year for the Diamondbacks.

1.  Ike Davis, New York Mets – Mets first baseman Ike Davis finished an injury plagued 2011 season with seven homers, 25 RBIs, 20 runs scored and .302 batting average in just 149 at bats.  That’s coming off of a rookie season in 2010 where he smacked 19 homers and 71 RBI.  Davis didn’t play after May 10 last year due to an ankle injury and then a series of unfortunate medical mistakes by his doctors.  The Mets are moving in the fences at Citi Field.  That can only help a 6′ 4″, 230 pound power hitter like Davis.

2.  Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks — Paul Goldschmidt was mashing in the minors with 30 homers in 108 games so the Diamondbacks brought him up earlier than anticipated.  Goldschmidt hit .250 in his inaugural season, with eight homers, four steals, 26 RBIs and 28 runs scored in 156 at-bats.  He’s a big strikeout guy, but can add some pop to your lineup.  He’ll be pushed by newly acquired Lyle Overbay.  Goldschmidt is projected by Bill James at .266/32/99/9.

3.  Mat Gamel, Milwaukee Brewers — Mat Gamel has been stuck behind Prince Fielder for 4 seasons and is tired of being labeled as a prospect.  His 2011 season in the minors should turn heads: .310/28/96/2.  The only rap against Gamel is himself.  He reported to camp last year 30 pounds overweight and his Triple-A manager Don Money said: ”He’s hard-headed. He doesn’t carry himself well. You have to carry yourself like a professional, and he doesn’t do it and I’ve said it to him.”

4.  Anthony Rizzo, Chicago Cubs — Anthony Rizzo got in 93 games last year at Triple-A before getting the call to the Padres.  His minor league numbers were .331/26/101/7.  Rizzo really struggled in the Bigs, however, as he barely hit half his weight at .141 in 153 plate appearances.  It’s hard to imagine that the Padres would give up on him so quickly given his minor league numbers.  He’ll battle Brian LaHair for the first base job unless the Cubs decided to pick up a veteran like Pena or Trumbo.

5.  Mike Carp, Seattle Mariners — No, Carp is not going to start in front of Justin Smoak, but he does qualify at first base.  Carp finished the 2011 season with 12 homers, 46 RBIs, 27 runs scored and a .276 batting average in just 290 at-bats.  On a team that is desperate for offense, expect Carp to be a regular outfielder in 2012.

FISHING: Carp's 2012 statistics won't need exaggerating.

6.  Kendrys Morales, Los Angeles Angels — It’s hard to imagine a more freak injury than the one that Kendrys Morales suffered on May 29, 2010 when he suffered an injury while jumping on home plate after a walk off grand slam.  Morales finished fifth in the MVP voting in 2009 and would be the ideal hitter to offer protection for Albert Pujols if he can prove that he can play.  This is a must watch fantasy baseball situation for Spring Training as the Angels are loaded at the corner infield positions and at DH.  Morales, 28, was just signed to a one year deal that may pave the way for the Angels to trade Mark Trumbo or Bobby Abreu.

7.  Yonder Alonso, San Diego Padres — Jesus Guzman brings a .312 average in from last season so he’s the #1 guy to start the season, but we think Alonso will earn the starting role by mid-season given his bigger power potential.  Alonso hit 5 home runs in just 88 at bats last year.  He was acquired from the Reds in the Mat Latos deal and should pick up 60% of the first base at bats in 2012.  That should put the Havana-born big man at a .275 average and 15 homers, even in spacious Petco.

8.  Adam LaRoche, Washington Nationals — Adam LaRoche suffered both a torn labrum and a torn rotator cuff in 2011 that limited him to just 151 at bats.  This is a guy, however, who is only 32 and hit exactly 25 homers for three consecutive seasons with the Diamondbacks and Pirates from 2008-2010.  And, with backup Chris Marrero on the shelf with an injury suffered while playing winter ball, the job is all LaRoche’s.  Manager Davey Johnson said that LaRoche is “100% now.”

9.  Adam Dunn, Chicago White Sox — I can’t recall a regular player who had a higher strike out total than batting average.  Dunn had 177 strikeouts while hitting .159 with 11 homers, 42 RBIs and 36 runs scored.  He can’t possibly be that bad again in 2012, can he?

10.  Brandon Belt, San Francisco Giants — Yes, Belt was on our sleeper list as well last year, but things didn’t quite work out for Belt who started the season as the starter, then got demoted.  His replacement, Aubrey Huff, was not able to duplicate his 2010 season, however, thus opening the door again for Belt.  Belt struggled to hit for average throughout the season but flashed some power, hitting seven homers after August 1.  Perhaps that’s an indication of his 2012 potential.

11.  Brandon Allen, Oakland Athletics — The Athletics got frustrated with Daric Barton’s lack of power last year (0 homers) and sent him to the minors.  Brandon Allen has home run power capable of 20 in 2012, but the big man will likely punish your team batting average; he’s a lifetime .210 hitter.

12.  Lucas Duda, New York Mets — Lucas Duda will be an outfielder this year for the Mets, but he’s qualified at first base as well.  Duda hit .292 with 10 homers, one base swipe, 50 RBIs and 38 runs scored in 301 at-bats during the 2011 season and is another one that should benefit from moving the outfield fences in at Citi Field.

13.  Brett Wallace, Houston Astros — I’m guessing that 35-year-old Carlos Lee doesn’t fit with the Astros youth movement.  That could open the door for Brett Wallace to earn the starting job in Houston.  The big problem is that Wallace is not a good fielder, but if you play in a keeper league, Wallace is a strong consideration since he can move to DH in 2013.

Heroin, or diamorphine, its scientific name, is derived from an extract of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). It is not a natural element in poppies but rather is synthesized from morphine, which is a naturally occurring opiate. Of all the opiates, it is the most addictive. The heroin group counseling can contribute to a multi-faceted approach to drug rehabilitation.

Affects

The drug user experiences an almost immediate feeling of euphoria on their first use. This is followed by a peaceful feeling of relaxation. Soon, however, their speech becomes slurred, their pupils contract and they feel detached from their surroundings. They may also feel nausea, disturbances in mood and headache. It is a Class A drug. This means that it is illegal and just being found in possession can lead to a seven-year prison sentence in the United Kingdom. As a result of its illegal status, it is manufactured in less than ideal conditions. It is often diluted by agents that may include sugar, cold medicine or even baby powder. This means it is impossible to determine its precise strength, which can easily lead to overdose and death.

Short Lived

The buzz from the drug is short-lived. Tolerance builds up quickly. Very soon, larger amounts are needed and more frequently to maintain the same high and to avoid the painful and unpleasant side effects of withdrawal. Eventually, the body becomes so dependent upon the drug that larger and larger amounts need to be taken just to feel ‘normal’, never mind high and euphoric.

Bodily Damage

Paradoxically, despite being dependent on the drug, it has many negative effects on the body. It can damage the blood vessels, leading to thrombosis and abscesses, which can go on to become gangrenous. Gangrene can spread to the brain, bones and heart and can also lead to amputation of a limb. A leading British scientific journal rated diamorphine the single most harmful of twenty popular recreational drugs, both in terms of its addictive potential and the amount of physical damage it produces.

Withdrawal

Users who don’t die from an overdose or from one of the other serious complications of using the drug may decide they have had enough and to clean up their life. Stopping on their own can be next to impossible because of the painful effects of withdrawal. Common symptoms include headache, vomiting, shakes, sweats and severe muscular pains.

Medication

Many users will go to a detox treatment center for help getting the drug physically cleared from the body. This may involve being prescribed substitutes like methadone and other forms of support to make withdrawal easier. Some people choose to undergo ‘cold turkey’, which is complete cessation of the drug without medical support.

Life After Detox

Once the recovering addict has done heroin drug detoxification, their next task is learning how to live without using the drug or the emotional phase. One of the great advantages of residential drug treatment programs is they effectively isolate the individual from the psychological and environmental influences that used to trigger their drug seeking activities. They also gain practice at forming relationships with non-drug users.
