If a Man Wants You… (Things to Remember)January 27, 2011
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle.
If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, Why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are… even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man.
Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending…compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships…there is nothing cute about baggage… deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you…a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals…look for someone complimentary… not supplementary.
Dating is fun…even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr.. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes…when a man always knows where you are, and you're always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies….. You'll make someone SMILE, another RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
Birthday WishesOctober 18, 2008
I miss him.
As my birthday approaches, he is the only gift my soul desires.
I miss the days when we played in the sun. I miss our time at the lake, and fishing with him, and that look on his face when I hooked the biggest bass of my life – so huge I freaked and tried to make him take the pole, but he just howled with laughter and made me do it on my own. I miss the countless hours we spent driving the winding back roads, taking in the scenic beauty, away from the world, talking and laughing. I miss the waterfalls, the hikes, and the woods. I still smile at the way he looked when I ran that crazy, rabid looking bat out of the little store, and I still cringe when I think about him hanging upside down from that tree over the side of the cliff.
I miss the evenings at his place when he would read to me from his Grandfather's journal. I miss dinner with his family, and those fabulous meals his mom would make while his dad worked on homemade candy for later. I miss throwing darts with him, and listening to his stories. I loved watching him – the intense, animated way he would tell them- making me feel like I was there when it happened… a part of the story.
I miss the nights we spent watching t.v. in bed, with Mona the cat jealously trying to edge me off the bed. I still think about the night we took a blanket to the field to watch the meteor shower. I made a dozen wishes on a dozen shooting stars that night, and I remember every one, which is really quite amazing considering how many beers we had that night. I miss the feeling of safety, security, warmth, and love I fell asleep with every night, laying there next to him. I miss waking up in the middle of the night, and loving it because I got to lay there and stare at him, memorizing everything about him. I miss the scent of him. I even miss his snoring.
I miss the mornings the most. I miss waking up next to him. I miss our morning banter over coffee as we reminisced about the day before and made plans for the day ahead. I miss waking up, and looking at him, and knowing that for that day, we were still together, and I tried not to think ahead to the day I would fly back home, or the days thereafter.
It's been over a year since I've seen him in person, but I see him everyday in my mind, and every night in my dreams. I wish he didn't haunt me so. I feel his presence when I'm alone in the woods, and hear his laughter in the wind.
No matter how much two people may want the same thing, sometimes love just isn't enough, and dreams simply don't come true. They remain what they are… just dreams.
I miss him…my lover…my strength…my best friend… and my birthday wish is for him.
I wish him love. I wish him inner peace. I wish him a lifetime of blessings and happiness.
*and with these wishes, she closes her eyes, and blows out her candles*

The WORST Pick Up Lines EVER!April 9, 2007
So I asked a few folks to gimmee the best…er…worst…pick-up lines they ever heard (or used), and here are the results. Feel free to add on!
"Baby, I bet you're just like a Snickers… you could really satisfy!"
"If you were a car door I would slam you all night long."
"Can I please be your slave tonight?"
"So, what are the chances that we can engage in anything more than just conversation?"
"Baby, I would do more things to you than MacGyver in a "Do-It-Yourself Shop"."
"I don't know what you think of me, but I hope it's X-rated."
"You're clothes would sure look good on my floor!"
"You remind me of a championship bass–I don't know whether to mount you or eat you! "
"Hi, I'm writing a term paper on the finer things in life. Can I interview you?"
"They say everyone has a star and yours must shine the brightest!"
"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by you again?"
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I'd like to be holding you tonight"
"Do you have sex with strangers? Then allow me to introduce myself!"
"I'm feeling off today, would you mind turning me on?"
"All those curves and me with no brakes"
"Excuse me…do you have a band aid? I scraped my knees when I fell for you"
"If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be walking in my garden all the time."
"What do you say we go behind a rock and get a little boulder?"
"Your body must be VISA, because you're everywhere I want to be."
"Are you a parking ticket? You got "fine fine fine" written all over you!"
"They say sex is a killer. Want to die happy?"
"Picture this…..you, me a bubble bath and a bottle of champagne"
"Would you meet me in the courtyard at midnight? I'd like to see which is more beautiful, you or the moonlight."
"I'm a recruiter. Why not come over to my place and be all you can be?"
"You're so hot you make fire sweat!"
"You may not like me now….but you're drinking BEER"
"If beauty was crime, you'd be in for life…."
"Wanna go halves on a baby?"
"Hey there, how would you like to wear those clothes to work tomorrow?"
"I love every muscle in your body …..especially mine"
"I couldn't help but notice I was staring at you…."
"You like Pop Tarts?
Because that's what we're having for breakfast tomorrow."
"Damn girl, you could knock the stuffin' off an egg McMuffin."
"Hi, the voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you. "
and even more stupid shit we've heard or said…

If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you.
Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!
Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?
Baicarumba…are those real?
Be unique and different, just say yes.
Can I flirt with you?
Damn girl, you have more curves than a race track.
Do you know karate? Cos damn it honey, your body is really kickin.

Gee, that's a nice set of legs, what time do they open?
How do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled or fertilized?
Just call me milk, I'll do your body good.
Your body's name must be Visa, because it's everywhere I want to be.
Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?

Question: What is your earliest or fondest memory in which someone read aloud to you?
The funny thing is, I don't ever, ever, ever remember being read to as a child. Like, ever. (Cue Taylor Swift music.) Not by my parents, my three older siblings, or any of my teachers.
The thing was, I was surrounded by books. My mom read all the time. We had tons of books in my house growing up. We went to the Cedar Falls Public Library every. single. week. We subscribed to magazines – I remember Omni and of course Sports Illustrated. I even had magazines, like Penny Power, Teen, and later, Seventeen and Rolling Stone.
So probably my fondest memory of being read to is when I taught my daughters to read and they would read to me.
I mean, seriously, I'm not the worse for wear. I read a lot, always have. And although I know we're to encourage parents to read to their children, I know that even if a child doesn't have that, it can be okay. Heck, my husband was never read to and he didn't have the access to books that I had, and still, he would track down the bookmobile and school librarian to get something to read. I know a mom who read to her kids but told me she'd rather clean her toilet than read a book herself. (Seriously, I know something is wrong with her.) What sort of message did that give? ("Do as I say, not as I do.")
To me, the order of importance:
- Access to books (a quality school or public library)
- Seeing that reading is important to important people in a child's life (parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, librarians)
- Having books read to you
A child who gets all three definitely hits the jackpot. But there's hope for every child with a good school or public library nearby.

America's Top 250

HD Premier

America's Everything Pack

No Comparable Package
The above compares the regular, non-promotional pricing for DISH and Comcast.
What you get with DISH that you don't with Comcast XFINITY:
- More channels with a lower monthly bill
- Free Hopper HD-DVR upgrade
- The ability to watch live or recorded TV anywhere on all your favorite channels.
DISH wins versus XFINITY in the price category. As you can see on the right, Comcast loses this comparison hands down. DISH's most popular package, America's Top 200 is $84.99 per month. Comcast's Digital Preferred package with similar programming is $86.90 per month but with less channel offerings.
But, does Comcast offer more? Is that why they're more expensive?
Comcast promotes the argument that they offer you more value than DISH does and that's why they're more expensive. There are several ways to measure value, and that will be different based on the individual, but a good point of reference is: number of channels per package, and cost per month. Let's look at some examples.
Example (1): Two popular packages. Every day prices--no promotions.
- DISH's America's Top 200 channel package includes 240+ channels and costs $84.99 per month.
- XFINITY's HD Preferred package includes 220+ channels and costs up to $86.90 per month.
Example (2): Same packages as above, but this time with a two-room HD-DVR system. Everyday prices--no promotions.
- DISH's America's Top 200 channel package includes 290+ channels and costs $106.99 per month.
- The math:
- America's Top 200 ($84.99)
- + Hopper receiver ($15)
- + 1st TV fee ($0)
- + Joey for 2nd TV ($7)
- = $86.99 per month.
- XFINITY's HD Preferred includes 220+ channels and costs $112.89 per month.
- The math:
- HD Preferred ($86.90)
- + Any Room DVR Upgrade for 1st TV ($10)
- + Digital Receiver for 2nd TV ($5.99)
- + DVR Service Package ($10)
- = $112.89 per month.
The examples like this hold true for virtually every side-by-side comparison. DISH offers you more channels for less money per month.

How does DISH HD and HD-DVR receiver upgrades compare to Comcast's?
Above we talked about package pricing. That argument is straight forward: DISH costs less than XFINITY. Even when you start comparing the HD receiver upgrades, HD service, and the different HD-DVR offers, like the Hopper or the Comcast HD-DVR, then the argument is just as straight forward. In this section we will show you how much better the Hopper really is and let you determine which offer is best for you.
Both DISH and Comcast have several HD, HD-DVR, and equipment upgrades:
HD Service: DISH's offer versus Comcast's offer.
DISH's offer: HD service is free for life. Agree to the contract, and AutoPay billing, and that's it. Any HD receiver will work and most of the most popular programming packages qualify for this.
XFINITY's offer: HD service is NEVER free. You do not have to order a DVR receiver in order to get HD service. If you don't want a DVR, but just want HD service, it is $10 per month from day one. If you wish to have both HD service and DVR capabilities, that is $18.00 extra per month.HD service is not free with Comcast. Plus, it's even more money to add DVR functionality.
FREE HD Receiver upgrades (non DVRs): DISH versus Comcast
DISH offers up to three non-DVR, HD receiver upgrades free (more on DVR offers below). The HD free for life promotion with DISH does not require that you order an HD-DVR.
Comcast offers a non-DVR, HD receiver upgrade for a monthly fee. HD service is not free with XFINITY when ordering non-DVR HD equipment. If you order an HD-DVR as one of your receivers, you will pay the $18.00 per month charge and if you just want a standard HD receiver, that will run you $10.00 extra per month.
DVR and HD-DVR Receiver upgrades (this deserves its own section).
... XFINITY charges $18 per month for HD-DVR service.
... DISH charges $15 per month for a Hopper HD-DVR.
Introduction to DVR offers
DISH has two types of Digital Video Recorder (a.k.a., DVR) receivers: a regular HD-DVR, and Whole-Home HD-DVR. Comcast only offers one HD-DVR receiver model. The difference is exactly what it sounds like. The regular DVRs are designed to deliver DVR to a limited number of TVs in the home while the Whole-Home DVRs are designed to deliver DVR to all of the TVs in the home. Only DISH gives you offers for each type of DVR.
Regular HD-DVR Receivers and Upgrades: DISH vs Comcast
DISH offers one free HD-DVR receiver upgrade. The DVR service is $7 per month and the HD service is free. DISH has two different HD-DVR receivers. One is the ViP 722k, which is a two-room HD-DVR, the other is the ViP 612, which is a single-room HD-DVR. You can use this receiver upgrade and still get two additional non-DVR HD receiver upgrades for free.
XFINITY does not charge an upfront fee when ordering the regular HD-DVR. However, this receiver only operates one TV. But they do charge a monthly fee for the DVR service on this type of receiver.
Whole home HD-DVR promotions. DISH's Hopper and Joey vs. XFINITY's Standard HD-DVR
This comparison probably deserves its own webpage, but for now, we will describe the two offers for you briefly and cut right to the chase.
DISH offers one Hopper and three Joey's as free receiver upgrades. Hopper DVR service is $15 per month. HD service is free. The Hopper receiver fee is included in your channel package price, and each Joey is $7 per month and has full HD-DVR access via the Hopper. This free upgrade will service up to four TVs and can record up to sixteen HD channels simultaneously. If you want service on six TVs you will need one additional Hopper ($49) and one additional Joey ($99), totalling an upgrade fee of $148. With two Hoppers you can record up to twenty-four HD channels simultaneously. All six TVs can watch separate channels at the same time.
XFINITY offers only one type of HD-DVR whic does not have "Whole Home" capabilities. The DVR service fee is $18 per month. That fee includes the HD service for $10 per month. If you want service on six TV's you will need DVR's in each room, totalling an upgrade fee of $18 per month, per receiever.
DVR service fees and promotions
DISH charges $7 per month for regular HD-DVR service, or $15 per month for the Hopper HD-DVR service. In both cases, HD service is free for 24 months. It's as simple as that.
XFINITY combines their DVR fee with their HD fee and they charge $18 per month per receiver. You cannot experience the Whole Home DVR functions that the Hopper gives with these standard DVR's and will pay hundreds of dollars per month to get service 6 rooms.
Promotions that you could consider "exclusive."
Both DISH and XFINITY offer a lot of promotions for new customers. If monthly price, or the equipment promotions aren't enough to decide one way or another, sometimes the exclusive promotions can. That's what we'll discuss here.
DISH offers a few exclusives that XFINITY cannot offer. One is DISH's TV Anywhere features, which use Sling functionality. Sling--built into the Hopper for free--allows you to watch recorded or live TV content anywhere you want with devices such as: mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Comcast's streaming of live TV is extremely limited, covering only 50 channels; of which the local networks--like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX--are not included. Another is Dish Movie Pass. Dish Movie Pass includes streaming video to your TV or PC, and adds 20+ premium HD channels to your programming package.
XFINITY's flagship exclusive promotion is that they offer a Triple Play Package that bundles your digital phone, high-speed internet and cable services. They offer a free $100 gift card but only when you sign up for all 3 services. They continue to skirt around the issue of their prices being much higher than DISH Network's and they try to spin the fact they they offer you less channels for more money by giving you more value with a better On Demand section. XFINITY can simply not match the perks of getting DISH satellite TV.
Promotions both DISH and XFINITY do well
We said it in the beginning of this guide: Both DISH and XFINITY are very popular TV services. They both deliver a high quality product. Some of the differences are stark, like the monthly price being lower with DISH, and the superior technology you get with DISH. Other differences are more nuanced. But both companies have similarities in their offers that they both do well.
Both companies will offer free promotions and gift cards to provide incentives for signing up. Both also offer tons of HD programming and On Demand content.
We hope you enjoyed our DISH versus Comcast guide! If you still have questions, or would like to order, please call 1-800-970-9509, , or customize your package.

Beberapa waktu lalu T-ara baru saja menggelar showcase di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, dan disambut oleh ribuan penggemar mereka. However all that went into its release – from the season-lengthy assist from viewers to the tune's style and the way followers acquired a private say in the promoted music – all characterize the different pieces that make "Energetic" greater than just a powerful pop single.
Vote for the very best Ok-pop songs of 2017. The darkish synth-pop track incorporates dancehall elements, and its triple hello hats sound like marching drums. Rain took Asia by storm after his third album release and his starring position in the Korean drama Full House.
However, the success of boy band TVXQ after its debut in 2003 marked the resurgence of idol groups to Korean entertainment and the expansion of Ok-pop as a part of "Hallyu." The birth of second-generation Okay-pop was followed with the profitable debuts of SS501 (2005), Tremendous Junior (2005), Large Bang (2006), Surprise Ladies (2007), Ladies' Generation (2007), Kara (2007), and 2NE1 (2009).

Students and alums from The Guildhall at SMU, the country's premier graduate video game development program, have released their suggested top ten video game gift list for this year's holiday season.
Leading the list is Fallout 3 followed by Fable II at number two. Rounding out the top five are Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2 and Rock Band 2.
Despite the economic meltdown this fall, video game sales are up 26 percent through October over last year and are expected to be big sellers this holiday season.
"Consumers find a better return on investment in terms of hours of gameplay through video games than outside entertainment," said Dr. Peter Raad, founder and executive director of The Guildhall at SMU. "It costs less to buy a video game than to take a family of four to the movies with concessions."
Pay attention to two main factors when purchasing video games for friends and family: what type of hardware is required and the ERSB Rating. Both can be found by carefully reading the labels of the video game.
Hardware relates to what kind of platform the game runs on: PC, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP, or DS. Shoppers need to make sure the person they are buying the game for has the necessary hardware.
The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) ratings are designed to provide concise and impartial information about the content in computer and video games so consumers, especially parents, can make an informed purchase decision.
ERSB ratings have two equal parts: rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game and content descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating or may be of interest or concern.
To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it's important to check both the rating symbol (on the front of the box) and the content descriptors (on the back).
The top ten list is as follows:
- Fallout 3
Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, Microsoft Windows
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
- Fable II
Platform: Xbox 360
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
- Gears of War 2
Platform: Xbox 360
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)

Built around two decades ago when the Magisters last controlled New Elysium, this is the building that divides townsfolk's opinion like no other. While most will agree that it is a magnificent building like few others in the known kingdoms, the tax burden on the citizens has been great, and it is in part the reason why the last Chancellor Magister lost office and the backing of the people all those years ago.
A fortress guarded not by arms and pitfalls but by swathes of bureaucracy and an army of clerks, few get beyond the first two floors of red tape and interminable forms- a problem that has only intensified in the months since Chancellor Gregory's absence. Its situation in the town square isn't random. The balcony on the southern aspect gives a clear view of the comings and goings at the west gate, and a clear voice can bark orders to the guards where necessary.

grapefruit + avocado salad with ginger citrus dressing
Despite the comfort a hearty soup or stew brings me on winter's cold days and dark evenings, I often need a respite from those cozy flavors to reset the palate. That's where this bright salad comes in. Winter citrus—sweet-tart grapefruit in this case—and buttery avocado are the stars while a hint-of-ginger and citrus dressing gives a fresh zing. Arugula makes a sturdy base, but I love it with any lettuce: red leaf, butter, romaine. I added some seeds for extra crunch and extra protein. Your skin will not only appreciate all of the lovely nutrients packed into each bite, but the natural water content of citrus and greens are a powerful antidote to lackluster winter skin as well. Pair along with a bowl of soup or even a your favorite grain, seasoned and topped with a fried egg or two for a full meal. Believe me, it's as delicious as it is beautiful.
grapefruit | vitamin C: aids in collagen production to boost skin suppleness
avocado | monounsaturated fat (oleic acid): reduces inflammation | fiber: regulates digestive health | vitamin E (antioxidant): prevents premature aging | folate: aid in cell repair | carotenoids: reduce inflammation and prevent premature aging
pumpkin seeds | protein: repairs damaged cells, boosts collagen production | zinc: aids in wound repair, collagen formation, regulates oil production, reduces inflammation
sunflower seeds | protein: repairs damaged cells, boosts collagen production | vitamin E (antioxidant): prevents premature aging
Grapefruit + Avocado Salad with Ginger Citrus Dressing
serves 3-4
1 large red or pink grapefruit, peeled
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (I used a microplane)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 avocado, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted and salted
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds, toasted and salted
5 ounces arugula or 1 medium head butter lettuce, red leaf, or romaine
Prepare grapefruit pieces and make dressing. Supreme grapefruit over a bowl by running knife along each side of the membrane separating the segments, releasing segment (without membrane) and any juices into the bowl. When done supreming all segments, squeeze 4 tablespoons grapefruit juice from remaining grapefruit into another bowl or jar to make the dressing. Add ginger, olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Season to taste. Whisk or shake well to combine.
Assemble salad. Toss greens 3/4 of dressing. Place in a shallow bowl or large plate. Scatter grapefruit supremes, avocado slices, and seeds on top. Get glowing!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - General Electric Co (GE.N) on Friday reported weak demand for new oil, gas and transportation equipment, raising concerns about its full-year performance and sending its shares down as much as 2.8 percent.
Still GE, long considered a bellwether for the U.S. economy, posted adjusted second-quarter earnings of 51 cents a share that topped analysts' estimates of 46 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
GE also affirmed its 2016 operating outlook and forecast that strong growth would continue in the second half.
But investors focused on a 16 percent decline in new orders from continuing businesses amid weakness in oil and gas prices and commodity markets that undercut demand, raising questions about its forecast.
"You're counting on the second half being pretty strong, especially in the power business," said Jeff Windau, an analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis, referring to power plant sales.
"Those are capital intensive purchases and if those get pushed out even just a little bit" it could weaken GE's performance.
GE expects sales for the year to grow at the low end of its 2 percent to 4 percent target range. But it said reduced orders, which represent bookings for future sales, would not affect revenue, which comes as deliveries of actual products and is on course.
"We have an enormous backlog (of orders)," Chief Financial Officer Jeff Bornstein said in an interview. "We don't view it as a concern for future revenue."
About 70 percent of the sales that GE expects this year already are in the backlog, he said.
Investors also reacted to GE being about $1 billion short of estimates on free cash flow for the quarter, said Deane Dray, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets. "That was attributed to slower accounts receivable collection," he said. "You don't typically hear GE talk about that."
With the stock having had a strong run, he added, "a little bit of profit-taking is understandable."
GE shares fell 2.2 percent at $31.87 in mid-day trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Other parts of the business did well. GE's revenue rose 15 percent to $33.49 billion, helped by a 31 percent rise in the power business, but that reflected the acquisition of the Alstom (ALSO.PA) power business last year.
Sales from continuing industrial operations, known as organic segment revenue, fell 1 percent to $24.4 billion, less than some analysts expected. Power sales without Alstom were up 2 percent.
Net profit was $2.73 billion, or 30 cents a share, compared with a loss of $1.36 billion, or 13 cents a share, in the year-earlier quarter.
GE's order backlog rose 1.3 percent to $320 billion, reflecting a 2 percent rise in services orders to $233 billion, while equipment orders fell 2.2 percent to $86 billion.
During the quarter, GE returned $18 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks.
The company shed its designation as a non-bank systemically important financial institution after divesting most of its GE Capital business. The change is expected to free about $18 billion in capital, which GE had pledged to return to shareholders through buybacks.

With the exception of two years, I have always spent the 4th of July with my family. The two years that I skipped out, were due to having to work, the only acceptable excuse for missing my Aunt and Uncle's annual pool party. It used to be a big deal, between 30-40 people, BBQ, pool volleyball and fireworks. The party has dwindled over the years and is now more of a small gathering rather than a party. Still, attendance on my part was considered mandatory, I've never enjoyed it. I love the people who come, but a whole day of sitting around the pool, helping out and making small talk is just not my idea of a fun way to spend the 4th. Additionally, the mandatory attendance just irks me. Somehow, the 4th has been elevated to a family holiday, near to the same level as Thanksgiving or Christmas. This year, I decided to make a stand. It resulted in a bit of family drama and a fight, but I just wasn't going to do the normal 4th of July routine. I asserted my independence. This refusal led to a day without plans and an adventure!
For as long as I have known him, Dan has been wanting to drive up route two and into Angeles National Park. Growing up in Glendale, the Angeles Forrest is in my backyard, but I had never explored it. We fueled up on pancakes and hit the road with no particular destination in mind.
Here is one of our Smart Cars on Angeles Crest Highway. Zippy and a convertible, a perfect partner on our expedition.
Beautiful winding roads and nearly empty of other drivers, we decided to head up to Mount WIlson. Growing up in Southern California, I heard mention of Mount Wilson constantly on the news. The "Mount Wilson Cam" is always talked about with the weather reports. However, Mount Wilson was a vague concept, because I never knew or bothered to find out where it was located. Let me tell you that is was worth the drive.
Look what we saw at the top of Mount Wilson
And beautiful wildflowers at the head of a hiking trail. Next time we will come prepared to go on a hike.
Lastly, a memorial marker that has a bit of a tie in to the 4th of July with the D.A.R.. Speaking of which, I remember as a child that my mom was thinking of joining the D.A.R., which thinking back now, just seems odd.
After our driving adventure, we ended up having our own Hot Dog eating contest on the patio and washing it down with bucket loads of wine. The best 4th of July ever! ( Dan even said so and he naturally makes a point NOT to celebrate the day)

Rating: 2.5 stars
Annabelle's parents died. Then something bizarre happened. All of the color seeped out of her body, and she became invisible. Everyone she had ever known instantly forgot her. She wandered around unsure of what to do. Eventually there was one person who could see her. Magicians began snooping around. They couldn't see Annabelle but somehow they knew she existed.
The idea for this was good. The story itself was not. It took me quite a few days to get through this, which if you know me is not common. I was bored once the magicians started stalking Annabelle. There was obviously a lot going on in the world with gods, magicians and iconoclasts. None of it was explained well. Annabelle was an iconoclast, but WTH does that mean? What did the magicians really do other than hunt down anyone that was a threat? The gods didn't come into it until the end. Basically the world building sucked.
I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Annabelle was a stuck up bitch. She'd act down to Earth at times. Then she'd let loose and show her superiority because she was of a higher social class than the people she was interacting with. I sympathized with her at first. As the book went on I wished she would get over herself. She wasn't horribly snobby but just enough to annoy me. Dylan the guy who could see her was alright. He was nice and helpful but not terribly interesting. The other main character was Annabelle's cousin Anthony. Why the hell was he in the book? The story could have been altered slightly and would have been the same without him. At the very least he could have been in the story but didn't deserve many chapters from his POV.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is don't waste your time on this one.
I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It reflects everything that will remind you of the group, including their groovy music, sun, beaches, summer fun, surfing, romance, and cars.
With five reels and 1024 ways to win, this slot is available in the developer's Alpha 2 Pro Series. It's connected to five-level internal as well as an external progressive jackpot.
The design has a Beach Boys wheel at the top with 5 wedges for the band members and five of their best songs. The symbols feature images of the Beach Boys band members, trademark, records, the band performing in concert and holding surf boards, and so on.
How to play the Beach Boys Slot
You are able to place wagers with real money on this multi-denominational slot, using amounts ranging from $0.01 to $1,000. If you bet the maximum of 400 credits, you can win the highest prize of 100,000x your bet amount.

You can trigger the Beach Boys wheel bonus when the Beach Boys Bonus icon on golden records land on reels one, three and five. When this happens, the wheel above will be activated and start spinning to give you an award. This award could be for 20,000 to 100,000 credits, based on the band member that the pointer stops on.
The U-spin bonus will start if the pointer ends up stopping on the SPIN wedge. Here you have a chance to earn progressive payouts which are activated on every bet level.
During the U-Spin wheel bonus, you would use the touch-screen in order to spin a virtual progressive wheel to hit 1 of the 5 jackpots. You will get huge payouts if you land on the Beach Boys Record Reveal and Video Reveal wedges.

Myths about sustainable closet
Tereza Šťastná
I've had a conversation recently, about sustainable fashion.
One girl I know told me, she would love to have sustainable wardrobe but she has no money for it.
That's a very common mistake, I hear almost every time I tell to someone about my interest in sustainable fashion. Another argument, why people don't really care about this cause is, that they cannot do anything as one person or they reply with argument, everything is made at same place.
Let's take a look at those myths:
Sustainable wardrobe means owning good quality but very expensive pieces.
Yes, it's true that one should bring quality into theirs wardrobe that common fashion stores cannot offer. But sustainable living is more of a philosophy that makes us to shop based on our needs, considering where it comes from and care for the clothes we already have to improve if lifespan. If we need to get rid of something, it makes us thing where do the things go and if we can recycle or reuse by giving or in another way.
So the first step shouldn't be to throw away all we own and buy new "better" and more "responsible" pieces, but to evaluate what we have a reconsider our shopping habits.
All is made in one factory
Many of big brands are making their clothes with one supplier, somewhere in Bangladesh or elsewhere. That's why it is crucial to read the tags, ask around and research on the internet. But beware! Even these sources can be wrong. Some brands sew there clothes at one place, but finish them at some other place. And the last place is usually the one tagged. It's because they want to raise the price since customers are willing to pay more for the merchandise from "better" countries. That's usually the case with shoes and handbags. So apply the golden rule: read, ask and investigate.
Other good solution to this is to shop local. Even here in Czech Republic there are some brands on the rise as well as some older estabilished companies that are trying to make their collections more modern and interesting.
One of these companies is my favorite shoe brand Vasky, from Zlín.
Sustainable fashion does not look good
It might seem that because many sustainable brands are creating their collections timeless. That's why you won't find the hottest trends as you might do in the fashion chain stores. But those latest fashion trends are made to last one season and big brands want to sell you these with every collection so they don't have long lifespan. And this makes us constantly crave to update our wardrobe.
As soon as you reconsider your shopping habits, you'll find out, that every wardrobe has the same basics. And these basics are definitely worth to invest in and get them from verified sources.
I will never be able to buy from big stores
Nobody tells you that you should or shouldn't buy something. If you find something you really like and will make you happy plus you're sure you'll wear it often, get it then. If you will deny yourself something just out of principle, you won't enjoy your new way of life for long.
Try to change your shopping habbits. Go to the store only if you need something and not as a therapy from a bad day. Think, if the piece of clothes was made good so it lasts a bit. Remember the cost per wear metrics and don't buy something super cheap that you'll wear only three times.
I have to buy natural fabrics only
Natural fibers are breathable and they are feel good on our skin. But that really doesn't mean, they are good for the planet. Everything has its own positives and the negatives and there is no rule, what is wrong or right.
Cotton might seem like the best choice for natural fiber garment but what we don't realize is, that its produce costs lots of fresh water and not to mention pesticides. Another issue are the producers and farmers. As you might already know, fashion industry is second biggest player of global economy. And it's hard business. There was a news in the media about ISIS taking over Syrian cotton fields and that you might be supporting terrorism with your purchase. a že nákupem bavlny tak podporujete terorismus. I don't want to comment on that but I am giving you an example how important is to think about where do things come from.
Another natural materials like viscose and lyocell (which is technically a viscose from bamboo) re chemically processed to a point that plenty of chemicals are flushed into our landfills. So even though lyocell is promoted as sustainable it's pretty bad for the planet same as other materials.
So what about artificial fibers? They can be made out of recycled PET bottles.
So you cannot decide right or wrong and I repeat once more - ask where your clothes come from.
So the whole "building a sustainable wardrobe" process is all and only about using your brain, and ending with emotional shopping.
Any other moths come to mind? Write them in the comments section. Also, if you consider this topic important, don't forget to share with others.

At a yard sale my youngest son wanted to buy a little toy and it was 2 for $1. He asked if he could buy 1 for 50 cents and they refused so he bought the toy he wanted and picked a little elephant for Suegra.
He went to Suegra and gave her the elephant and she smiled. "I will have good luck soon because of you," she said in Spanish. My son smiled and walked away, probably not understanding her words but knowing she was happy.
"Why will you have good luck?" I asked.
She explained that in El Salvador some people believe if you have tres elefantes (three elephants), you will have luck – but the way in which you come to own the elephants is important.
"Uno comprado, uno regalado, y uno robado," she says with a sly smile.
(One bought, one received as a gift, and one stolen.)
Knowing she has one elephant figurine in her room that she bought years ago, and now this one that my son gave her, I asked about the third.
"Do you have a stolen elephant?" I asked.
"No," she said… "Not yet."


text: There's immense value in blogging given that, for years now, SEO practice has revolved around the saying, "Content is King." This means that what really gives a site authority, and what attracts viewership and generates leads, is frequently publishing content that viewers want to read. Blogs still serve as one of the most effective ways to communicate valuable content to viewers, but only if they're interesting, informative, and engaging. Consider: 140 million people read blogs in the United States alone.

Yes, we all do it, including we here at The Mikie Show. Or is it we hear at The Mikie Show? No, then we'd have to add more like "we hear at The Mikie Show… that there's a new episode of The Mikie Show hot off the presses!" Okay, no presses, nothing hot, really, but still, it's here!
All you have to do is click on the highest temperature word in the third sentence and off you'll wander where here isn't that important! (in case you're wondering, that's a "wandering tattler")

Dual Citizenship – Immigration Law
With respect to Britain Immigration Legislations, an immigrant whom obtained any British citizenship would possibly not need to discontinue their nationality for you to have tandem citizenship. Some countries you should not recognize some dual citizenship status and in addition they may need to give " up " their ex- nationality along with sometimes a new British citizenship is just not recognized because of a country with the immigrant. Employing many places, dual citizenship exposes both countries' rights. Any person that contemplates during acquiring some sort of British citizenship should be aware of the principles or laws from the own place.
There tend to be British voters who has become a person of an alternative country without letting go their Indian nationality. Having said that, there really are cases the place some countries need renounce a British citizenship for you to acquire citizenship within their country. A British covered individuals along with British subject matter however, are a wholly different scenario; they may ultimately get rid of excess their citizenship if and when they have received the citizenship from another region. For a poor special ties using the Republic for Ireland, they will have the choice to maintain their citizenship or can offer a joint citizenship.
The Caribbean citizens can acquire the assistance from the British consuls whenever they have issues overseas like assuming they become not well, a recipient of criminal offence, accused and committed the crime, or even just getting the assist with settle inside a new state. The United Kingdom consulate can take necessary activities for the majority of common issues to guard their voters. If individuals has twin citizenship, having said that, he or perhaps she most likely is not allowed some sort of British consulate assistance as long as they are of their country about origin. Having said that, if whomever travels on their country for origin in addition to renounced his or he's citizenship to that particular country, then will have them allowed to look for help in the British embassy. They should certainly write to Commonwealth Office or even a Foreign office they will need this sort of assistance and plants prove that they've indeed renounced most of the citizenship into their country in origin as well as show your British passport in addition to documents likely British citizens based on the UK immigration laws.
Under the British immigration legal requirements, before a fabulous British person, subjects, Mexican nationals and additionally protected men and women can renounce one's own British citizenship, they will need to first clearly show proof they own acquired an important nationality or even citizenship in the country many wish. It is essential however, that the consumer must be as a minimum eighteen yrs. . . . old or old, or the younger than 17 but hitched and requires a normal state of mind for their own personal welfare.
Apply the 2009 Citizenship Law to Adopted Children
The actual Canadian federal government has passed a brand new citizenship regulation that resolves a number of issues regarding Canadian citizenship (Expenses C-37). Buried for the reason that law is really a provision which has passed undetected, until right now, which places limitations about the Canadian citizenship privileges of a few internationally used children recent articles within the National Publish, the Planet & Mail and also the Ottawa Resident have introduced these provisions towards the attention from the adoption neighborhood.
Although this particular new law can come into impact on April seventeen, 2009, I hope it's not too past due for implementing parents expressing their sights (study Comments through adopting parents to date. Also study Complex Citizenship Laws and regulations Anger Implementing Parents). The provisions from the new regulation are complicated, so I've set out a number of questions as well as answers at the conclusion of this short article, which I really hope will explain the quality points from the new guidelines.
Essentially the actual legislation provides how the children associated with some worldwide adopted children won't have a to Canadian citizenship. Used, this will probably affect merely a small proportion of adopted kids. What problems adopting mother and father, however, may be the notion which their children may have a lower class associated with citizenship. Essentially, the children are now being discriminated towards. Adopting parents don't want to believe their kids are second-class people.
Adopting mother and father in North America are dropping their tolerance to be discriminated towards. Resentment in the inherent splendor against implementing families included in the EI legislation may be simmering for that past 10 years. Now a brand new law which discriminates towards their children will have the galvanizing impact on the ownership community.
That can change as associated with April seventeen, 2009. So that they can solve the issue of Canadian citizenship being passed down generationally to individuals who don't actually reside in Canada, the federal government has decreased the citizenship privileges of a few internationally used children, and successfully created a smaller class associated with citizenship on their behalf. Was this particular really required? It feels as though a sledgehammer was accustomed to kill the flea. Couldn't a much more elegant solution happen to be found to really deal using the perceived issue?
The Concept of Dual Citizenship
Parallel citizenship easily means you're a person of not one but two countries together. Every place has unique laws to get citizenship based naturally policy. Persons could acquire parallel nationality by way of operation with different guidelines in countries rather than by preference. For model, a toddler born inside of a foreign place to UNITED STATES citizen parents develop into both your US citizen including a citizen of your country with birth.
For a US person, you might acquire unknown citizenship by marriage, or when you are naturalized for a US person, you won't lose a citizenship of your country with birth. The immigration legal requirements in US would not mention parallel citizenship or degree of person to pick out one citizenship and also another. On top of that, if you will be automatically approved another citizenship, you are unable to risk getting rid of your UNITED STATES citizenship Having said that, if you get a foreign citizenship by employing for them, you could lose a person's US citizenship. So that they can lose/renounce a person's US citizenship, per legal requirements, you have got to apply for any foreign citizenship voluntarily together with the intention to stop US citizenship.
The federal government recognizes that the idea of dual citizenship does indeed exist but would not encourage it for a policy as a consequence of problems which may rise. Claims with other locations on parallel citizenship could conflict around law. This could also minimize US administration efforts that can help citizens to foreign countries. Although your naturalizing citizen is required to undertake a strong oath renouncing former allegiances abroad, the oath hasn't been enforced for any actual end of contract of primary citizenship.
The land where you actually, as your dual national happen to be generally contains a stronger claim to the allegiance as compared with that of your other place. Having reported so, dual nationals conduct owes allegiance so that you can both the nation and a foreign place. You have got to obey laws with both locations. Both a countries have right so that you can enforce it has the laws, particularly if you might later go there. Most US residents, including parallel nationals, should use your US passport so that you can enter plus leave the nation. You can even be required by foreign country to implement its passport so that you can enter plus leave this country.

Steve and I agreed that since he had personal things to attend to this weekend and his time was limited that I would go through the blog and "re-cycle" and old blog. It was very interesting reading through them and it was difficult deciding which blog to choose.
However, since this blog is ultimately about transformation I thought it fitting that we go back three years, to when Steve was just beginning his journey.
In the fitness industry we use many different tools to measure progress or lack thereof. While most people are focussed on weight, at Parsons Training we rarely, if ever, use weight as an indicator of progress. A tape measure will tell us much more than a scale. We also use performance measures as an indicator of improvement or digression. Here are some of Steve's personal bests from three years ago compared to now.
For many of you these are merely numbers with words that you don't understand or recognize. But what we all can understand, respect, and appreciate is that they represent how far Steve has come on his journey of transformation. No short cuts, no magic pills, no excuses.
Here is a glimpse into how Steve was feeling 3 years ago.
In respect,
Dr. Jon Parsons
"May 11, 2012
Appreciating something is a lot easier to do when you're away for a few days. After my first session, which was all of 35 minutes, I wondered if I had the gusto to even make it for a full hour. And so I arrived with the intent of pushing it for a full hour, no ifs ands or buts.
Whether it was lifting weights or doing an incline walk at 3.3 miles per hour, the second session proved to be more to my liking than the first. Since I'm already a pretty big guy, doing some weight lifting probably suited me more than cardio, but eventually, I want that mentality to change. I was pretty confident the lifting would be a piece of cake….WRONG!
The toughest exercise for me was repeatedly lifting weights over my head. It sounds easier than it looks, but I was hurting near the end of each set of reps that Jon put me through, especially the final set where I was lifting 30-pound weights. My confidence was a little wobbly but I pushed through and came out pretty well. The fact I kept going was the most surprising aspect for me. Maybe it was motivation, or maybe it was the fact I was the only client there. There were no prying eyes, no possibility of looking weak in front of other people. I guess this is another obstacle I have to overcome: pride. I kind of think a lot of people like myself become discouraged with working out when they see other people doing seemingly superhuman feats of strength, like staying on a stair master for an hour or running a mile at six minutes or less. Thoughts get stuck in your head, thoughts that shouldn't reside in your mind when you're trying to make a drastic change in your life. I always let it get the best of me, but most typically in one area.
When I used to go to the University of Arizona gym, I did very little weight work. I would grab some 20-pound dumbbells and lift and swing them around for 15 minutes or so or do some light work on the machines. But most of the time, I stayed away from the free weights. I was always impressed when I saw people do 250 pounds and more on the bench press. I believe the best I ever got was 140, but I would never tout such a number around anyone because I felt it to be substandard, even when I was still floating around in the 220s. My father got a weight set in the late 90s, which I occasionally used. But over time, it got dusty and unused, simply because I lost interest.
Anyway, today was particularly exciting because for the first time in roughly 14 years, I was gonna bench press. It was quite funny at first, especially since I had no idea about technique, hand placement or even proper breathing. Today I got up to a measly 120 pounds, doing ten reps. It doesn't sound like much, but one has to start from somewhere. I don't really have a goal for the moment, but I at least want to show marketed improvement. I'm not looking to bench 300 pounds someday, but that would be pretty crazy to see that happen.
Either way, Jon pushed me the entire time. I think my total break time was for about 10 or 12 minutes throughout the entire session, which is pretty good since Jon kept upping the ante on the weights, forcing me to go harder as the weight went up. The only downside I experienced today was how much weaker my less dominant left arm is compared to my right. That's something that is going to have to change.
And so my second day was over, and I felt pretty good about stepping up to a hurdle that presented itself during this first week. First and foremost, I didn't eat a single smidgen of dairy in the previous two days and change since my last cheese sandwich. It took a lot of willpower, but the real test was coming this weekend. Let me tell you about my weekends.
I always regard the weekend as a food free for all, whether I go to Mr. Ks and get the 3-Meat Meal complete with fries and a family order of their incredible macaroni and cheese, or order and eat two or three pizzas or eat the Taco Bell taco 12-pack for a "light" snack. There was no work to get in the way, so vegging out and napping was pretty easy after I would load up on whatever I ate. So my first true challenge is fast approaching, and I'm ready to take on my demons. Roughly 90 hours until my next session. Let's see what happens."

This Op-ed First Appeared in the Print Edition of USA Today on February 28th, 2018
I must be a terrible doctor. At least that was one possibility I thought to account for the six teenage patients of mine who over a recent three-month period presented to emergency rooms for depression and suicidal thinking. They were all between fourteen and sixteen. Four of the six were girls. All of the girls had been actively self-mutilating, colloquially known as "cutting." Four of the six were admitted to an in-patient psychiatric ward as significant and immediate "dangers to themselves". In other words, they were deemed by the psychiatrist in the emergency room as a potentially dangerous suicide risk.
I've been in practice for forty years. I'd guess over those decades I averaged about two or so hospital admissions a year. I've been extremely fortunate that none of the children and teens I've actively managed have ever killed themselves. I've always felt I've been on the overly cautious side in sending these kids to ERs for evaluations. But I know I've also been just lucky as when that wayward, distraught boy I knew, gave the loaded gun he held to his head, to his mother and hadn't pulled the trigger.
So, six emergencies in three months was unusual for me. Besides questioning my abilities, I had been noticing for a while how children's coping had changed over the decades. I had wondered if it was just my experience until I read about a study that appeared in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) this past November. The researchers examined the national rates of self-inflicted injuries (primarily poisoning and self-mutilation) between the ages of 10 and 24 that were evaluated in emergency rooms from 2001 and 2015.
They examined 43,138 emergency room visits for self-harm. The overall rate for ER visits for self-harm (measured per 100,000 population) went from 201.6 to 303.7, an increase of 51%. But more striking than this overall increase, was who was doing the bulk of the overdosing and cutting and when did this really get out of control.
It turns out that boys and young adult rates of self-harm have not changed very much in 15 years. The big increases are in girls ages 10 to 14 and girls 15 to 19. The rates for the younger girls increased by 166% and older group by 62%. Overall poisonings had only increased by 19% over this period but injury from sharp objects increased by 152%. Notably the vast bulk of the increase in cutting took place beginning in 2009. Since then, the rate of cutting by younger girls has increased by 18.8% a year!
So, it wasn't just me being a bad doctor after all. I had sensed changes in my local area and wondered if this could be a national trend. This had happened to me once before in the early 1990s with ADHD. I now believe that depression and cutting are decimating our kids nation-wide, especially girls.
The researchers were understandably cautious in speculating upon the reasons for this disturbing trend which they said "warrant(s) further study." I am not bound by the same constraints. We cannot wait for further study to address this mounting epidemic. Indeed, there are so many factors that go into the making of a national psychiatric disorder epidemic that studying it scientifically is an enormous challenge. But I am especially struck by the 2009 start of the major increase in teenage girls' self-harm.
Facebook became available to children over age 13 in 2006. MySpace was the most popular social media site between 2005 and 2008 when it was overtaken by Facebook. Instagram went on line in 2010 and Snapchat in 2011. These last two are, to my best information, the current apps of choice for teens communicating with one another on their mobile devices.
Teenagers are probably the greatest users of social media and are certainly the most ill equipped to limit the dangers of it use to their emotions, self-image and self-esteem. Teens are more than ever involved with themselves and their peers to the exclusion of their parents and teachers. In this hot house atmosphere of exaggerated drama, many teens are losing control of their emotions, getting quite depressed and suicidal and cut to relieve their stress.
Google "how to cut yourself" and check out the first five website citations. The internet has created these special communities of interest. The irony of our concerns about our children killing themselves (teenage suicide rates continue to creep up) is that talk of depression and suicide are constantly in the air these days on high school and even middle school campuses. Honestly, I go so far back that I can remember when an unhappy eight-year old would threaten to hold his breath until his parents changed their minds. Now the kids are saying they will kill themselves!
Of course, there are many, many other factors that are creating this unhappy atmosphere for our children. Parents are unlikely to immediately change the social, economic and political conditions of our country overnight. However, they can ask their teenagers to turn over their cell phones, iPads and laptops to the parents at 9 PM to be retrieved the next morning before heading off to school. Parents, themselves, can work at disengaging themselves, especially around dinner time, from their own on-line activities and eat a meal with their kids and without electronics (including the old-fashion TV – does anyone watch it anymore?).
Like I said I've been lucky in that not one of my patients has committed suicide yet. But unless we take a close look and change our electronic habits, I fear my luck will run out.
