My significant other and I have been together for about 3 years
Customer Question
My significant other and I have been together for about 3 years now and I tend to feel very often he doesn't understand in the slightest how easily my feelings are hurt and how damaging it is to me. He doesn't comfort me when feeling upset/depressed and when I am overwhelmed with insecurities. He leaves me to cry and solve my problems myself. Because of his need to be overly honest, he has no "filter" when mentioning my imperfections such as my weight which is an extremely sensitive subject to me. I don't know how to communicate with him how hurt I am because of certain actions and things he says and fear to spend the rest of our lives with this communication issue which has already resulted in my medically diagnosed anxiety and depression. Can you please help me?

You've said you're 21 and how old is your significant other?
Do you live together or separately?
Can you give me an example of what you've said to him re: this issue that is causing you so much pain?
Thanks for all your additional detail,

hes 34. We do live together and have for about a year. Normally everything is great but the problem I have encountered is that one problem I dont know how to deal with! For example, last night during dinner he told me he wanted to go to a club but the bad news was i wouldnt be able to get in because of my appearance. They only let a particular group of people in. My response to him was " I would NEVER go ANYWHERE where you were not allowed to go to." He responded with "But its work related" So later when we got home, he got dressed and went out anyway. Didnt get home till about 530 am and told me he ended up hanging out with his friends at the club. Meanwhile im sitting at home crying my eyes out not able to even get out of bed. He hasnt even acknowledged me.

Hi again, and thanks very much for your reply and also for your patience. The site has been experiencing technical difficulties and I wasn't able to respond before now.
I can appreciate the pain and frustration of your situation, but after your description of his treatment of you, I'm having a hard time understanding why you choose to remain in this relationship. While I don't doubt you were both initially attracted to specific traits in the other, which you appreciated and enjoyed, his behavior is technically emotionally abusive and I can't comprehend why you tolerate it.
He had no right going out to a Club last night, without you, and I highly doubt that it was work related. If he came home at 5:30 AM, do you ever doubt his fidelity to you? Telling you you wouldn't be let in, due to your appearance, is beyond hurtful. This isn't the 80's; Clubs aren't like that anymore, and if they are, it's discrimination, and that can't be legal.
If he has caused you such emotional pain and distress that you needed to be medically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, why do you choose to stay with him? YOUR health (mental and physical) and YOUR happiness is the most important thing. While he may also do some nice things for you(?), he sounds like a heartless person who takes joy in hurting people he cares about; but could a person who truly cares about you, treat you this way? Think about it, and decide if he really loves you, based upon his actions and words.
If you've already tried to explain to him many times, that his words hurt you, and his actions continue to be the same, he doesn't deserve you to be his girlfriend and you owe it to yourself to consider leaving this relationship. Because of the type of man he is, I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX there is anything else you can say to him which will change his treatment of you. I'm sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but I'm trying to help you put YOU first, which is what HE should doing, and YOU should also be doing. You're a young person, who is intelligent, attractive, with your whole life ahead of you; you deserve to be with someone who will love you for who you are, and treat you with kindness and respect. You deserve someone who isn't shallow enough to judge you, based on your appearance, and put you down about your weight, which he KNOWS is a sensitive issue for you. You can tell him in no uncertain terms: "NO comments will be made about my weight, from this day forward."
There is quite a large age difference between the two of you, and I think this may also be contributing to the problem. You initially mentioned "I don't know how to communicate with him how hurt I am because of certain actions and things he says and fear to spend the rest of our lives with this communication issue which has already resulted in my medically diagnosed anxiety and depression." You need to get yourself stronger, first, conquer your depression and anxiety, and I don't think you can do that, remaining with him, since he is the cause of your depression and anxiety.
Why are you considering spending the rest of your life with him if he causes you this angst? Partners in a relationship make each other feel 'good' and will listen and comfort, when each has a problem; that's the nature of relationships and couples. You're 'there' for each other and are best friends, in addition to being lovers. You know each other so well, you are a source of comfort and wisdom, when the other needs to talk about something that is concerning/bothering them.
If he is not understanding how much he's hurting you and you HAVE told him this, not danced around the issue, yet he continues to treat you this way, disregarding and disrespectful of your feelings, you really need to reconsider why you remain in this relationship. It might be a good idea to write a list of pros and cons about him, and see if there is a great difference in the number of each.
You said, "normally everything is great", but if he continually says hurtful things to you, 'unfiltered' and never considers your feelings, how can things be great? This is a very important part of any relationship: successful communication, and if you don't have that, and he refuses to change the way he communicates with you, even after you've asked him not to say hurtful things, it's difficult to see how much he cares about you.
I'm sorry if these words are hurtful to you, this is certainly not my intention; I'm on YOUR side, and I'm trying to help. If you feel you want to remain in this relationship and think "one day, he'll change the way he communicates with me and it will be better", you may be fooling yourself. Men like this don't change; men in general don't change that easily with bad habits they've developed over the years. However, the way he speaks to you, SHOULD be easier to change, since he knows it hurts you. All he has to do is think before he speaks, and/or decide not to say anything, knowing how it will affect you.
If you feel, at this particular time, you have no place else to go, you don't want to stop living with him, etc., that's alright, you have time to make a change, if and when you're ready. I'm sure you have sympathetic RESPECTFUL friends who truly care about you, and who will be there for you and help you out, if you need it. I don't know your family situation, and if you can live elsewhere at this time, or if you have considered ending this relationship. The thought of 'starting' over, especially since you've been together with him for 3 years, and started seeing him when you were 18, can be scary, but in my personal opinion, I feel you need to make a change for the better, to save your own sanity, get well, emotionally, and be happy, with a man who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
It would also be a good idea to go to couples counseling with him, and/or start therapy on your own, to learn how to best deal with this communication issue, which is causing you so much anxiety. In person sessions with an experienced counselor will be beneficial.
I do hope things will improve for you, very soon.
Please let me know if you'd like to talk more. I will be here for you.

I would like to confront him again. But perhaps i'm not going about it the right way. I tend to get stuck mid conversation a loose track of my thoughts because of my overwhelming pain. Can you please please please help me figure out what to say?
replied 7 years ago.
Hi again, and thanks for your reply.
Yes, I will help you figure out what to say, and please give me a short while to send you a detailed response.

Hi again, and thanks for your patience.
You need to keep in mind that you are telling him these things to help yourself and help your relationship. If you keep the purpose of your words in mind, and not get emotional, you will be able to say what you need to, and get through it without tears. Try to emotionally remove yourself from the situation, even though it IS an emotional thing, and you will be able to get through what you have to say to him. Think of it 'logically' and prevent yourself from letting your emotions take over. I think, when he sees you emotional, he knows he can take advantage of you and hurt you with his words. You can stop that by rehearsing what you're going to say, think about it as something you MUST do, to let him know how you feel, and you can't keep going on the way you have, with him saying the things he is saying and causing you medical problems and anxiety.
You can say something like this: I know you care for me and would not intentionally hurt me, but the way you have been speaking to me and putting me down, IS very hurtful, and it needs to stop. We've discussed this in the past, and I thought I made my feelings known, yet you continue to speak to me in this way. Since you don't seem to be aware of how your words are hurtful, I'll help you. From now on, any mention of my weight, is off-limits...just don't talk about it. I'm aware of how I look, and don't need you to remind me, in a negative way. Speaking of negatives, if you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all. If you have a 'work thing', give me advance notice if you won't be home in the evening, so I can make my own plans. Don't tell me they won't let me in, due to my appearance; that's a lie, and again, hurtful and uncalled for. I don't see a "Mr. Perfet" banner on YOUR chest!
You'll need to learn to 'filter' yourself and your words, before you speak them, and ask yourself: 'will what I'm about to say, hurt her feelings?' if the answer is 'yes', keep quiet.
If you have an issue about my looks or anything else, there's the door. No one is keeping you here against your will. I thought we had something special, and it seems you may not agree. We need to communicate in a way that is beneficial to us both, not with you putting me down. I'm very willing to work at improving our relationship, if that's what you want, too; if not, I think we have very different goals and perceptions, regarding what makes a good relationship. Take a few days to think seriously about what I've said. It's important that you take the time to listen to me and understand my feelings. I've always shown YOU that courtesy, and I deserve the same.

GEN News Highlights : Oct 23, 2006
Sanvar (vapreotide acetate) has orphan drug status and currently is in Phase III trials for acute esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB). It is a synthetic octapeptide analogue of the naturally occurring somatostatin hormone. Debiopharm reports that it is the only somatostatin analog to demonstrate statistically significant benefits in the early treatment of EVB in association with endoscopic therapy in a placebo-controlled trials.
Debiopharm says that it continues to seek partnerships in other territories, including Europe, where the first international filing of a regulatory dossier was submitted in July in France. Salix Pharmaceuticals has already licensed the exclusive rights to Sanvar for the U.S., where Debiopharm expects to file for marketing approval in the first quarter of 2007.

A wealth of information on evolution and pollination of Mediterranean orchids (mostly tribe Orchideae) has been generated in the last two decades. Inda et al. integrate this with a well-supported phylogenetic tree to investigate Orchideae diversification in a temporal framework, and find that nomenclatural changes recently proposed in Orchideae are compatible with the phylogenetic analysis. The results suggest that diversification of Orchidineae in the Mediterranean basin took place between the Mid-Miocene and Pleistocene and that ancestral forms were hymenopteran-pollinated, food-deceptive plants. A possible link is considered between orchid evolution and Hymenoptera diversification.

At the start of June I never thought I would be writing an article like this—at least not about the Twins in 2011.
On June 1, the Twins sat at 17-37, 20 games below .500 and 16.5 games behind the division leading Cleveland Indians.
Since then the Twins have gone on a tear, going 29-14 and closing the gap in the division race to only five games.
The Twins are looking to become the first team in major league history to finish with a record above .500 after being 20 games below .500 at some point in the season while seeking their third straight AL Central title.
Here are five reasons the Twins will win the division.

Bruno Mars sure knows how to rock it old-school.
We know his songs mix in elements of retro cool — a little Michael Jackson here, a little Sting there — and then, amazingly, he spins it all into something completely his own.
In concert, too, Mars joyously hearkens back to an earlier era. At his show Thursday night at Mohegan Sun Arena, Mars' voice climbed and quivered with classic Motown-esque finesse, reaching for all those romantic — and occasionally lustful — emotions he writes about in his songs. "When I Was Your Man" was all silky vocals and yearning passion; Smokey Robinson would have been jealous.
Mars broke out dance moves — some that had slight echoes of MJ — along with the hardest-working-man-in-show-biz ethos of James Brown. He showed off his instrumental ability, tackling electric and acoustic guitars and busting out a drum solo to kick off the encore. And you can tell Mars has been onstage since he was a wee child because he's so comfortable there.
If Mars was the smooth operator, he also served as the leader of a cool pack. His band fired up the arena. They had a whole Earth Wind & Fire vibe going on, with all the musicians (except the drummer and keyboard player) moving around in gleeful choreography that never felt too slick. Good for Mars that he's willing to share the spotlight; his back-up guys weren't consigned to the shadows but joined the party at the front of the stage with the star. Their energy and sense of sheer enjoyment was palpable.
The staging was sedate compared to a lot of overproduced concerts these days. For the most part, the pyrotechnics were produced by Mars' golden voice and by his and his band's performance prowess. By the encore (which consisted of a boisterous "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Gorilla"), shimmering confetti did rain down and flashpots blasted up, but it proved a lively punctuation rather than a central theme.
Mars is old school in another way; he didn't want fans to spend the whole show hiding behind their iPhones and told them as much. He asked concert-goers to put their cells down and dance. He even — in a kindly way — called out a woman down front who was texting during the performance.
Since the band was such an integral part of the show, let's identify them by name: guitarist Phredley Brown, bassist Jamareo Artis, vocalist Phillip Lawrence, trombonist Kameron Whalum, saxophonist Dwayne Dugger, trumpeter James King, drummer Eric Hernandez (Mars' brother, who provided a particularly pounding beat for "Grenade" that upped the power of the tune) and keyboardist John Fossit. These guys make for one of the most fun bands ever.

LAKEVIEW - Carl Ellsworth Keysor, of Lakeview, passed peacefully to heaven at 12:10 a.m., on Friday, Aug. 30, 2013.
He was born April 15, 1919, in Stokes Township, Logan County, the son of Norman E. and Cretoria (Arthur) Keysor, who preceded him in death. On June 15, 1946, he married Elsie Christina Wildermuth, his loving spouse of 38 years, who passed to eternity on June 18, 1984.
Survivors include his beloved daughter, Diana (Philip) Centers, of Lakeview; his granddaughter, Erin (Keith) Wilson, of Lakeview; his grandson, Scott Centers, of Orlando, Fla.; three great-grandsons, Oliver, Maxwell, and Jackson Wilson, who resided with him near Lakeview; brothers-in-law, Ermine Wildermuth (Marlene), of Wapakoneta, Ralph Zwiebel, of Jackson Center, and Richard Sailor, of Jackson Center; a sister-in-law, Ludema Wildermuth, of Botkins, and numerous nieces, nephews, and grandnieces and grandnephews.
He was preceded in death by his loved in-laws, Mildred and Robert Weidel, Vernon Wildermuth, Marcille Sailor and Miriam Zwiebel.
Carl was a graduate of New Hampshire High School, class of 1938. He earned his Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 1941 from the
Ohio State University
. Upon graduation from college, Carl went to work for the New York Central Railroad, where he worked on track alignments and grading. He was inducted into the U.S. Army the following year, assigned to the medical corps. Carl was sent for more studies at the
University of Illinois
, where he earned an additional engineering degree in sanitation. At that time, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Carl was posted to Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Wash., where he was an instructor in sanitation techniques. After leaving the Army, he worked as an engineer in southern Ohio before accepting a position as the deputy county engineer for Logan County. In 1978, he retired after 20 years of civil engineering service at the Ohio Department of Transportation at Sidney, where he worked on highway design.
Carl had a goal to be the oldest working, licensed professional engineer in the state of Ohio, and continued to earn continuing education credits in classes past the age of 92. He went to work for Jackson Center in 1989, a post he held through early 2012.
An avid reader, Carl enjoyed history, travel and nature. He was a devout Christian, who led many activities at his lifelong church, Grace Chapel Christian Union. He sponsored and supervised many youth activities and duties at Camp Greenfield. He was also lovingly dubbed "The Family Chaplain" by his extended family, always eager to lead prayer for the group at gatherings and holiday meals. His Arthur and Keysor cousins were always close to him and kept in touch throughout life.
Carl introduced his in-laws to Lake Hope in the 1940s while working as an engineer on a hospital construction project in Nelsonville. He led many family retreats to the area for more than 60 years, introducing five generations to the joy of hiking the wooded trails.
Carl was dearly loved by his entire family, his church family, and many people who had the privilege to know him. His joy and laughter will long be remembered.
The Rev. Scott Anderson will begin funeral services at 11 a.m., Monday, Sept. 2, 2013, at Grace Chapel Christian Union Church, Santa Fe.
Visitation is Sunday, Sept. 1, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview, and one hour prior to services at the church.
Burial is in Mount Tabor Cemetery, Gutman.
Memorial contributions may be given in Carl's name to the Grace Chapel Christian Union Church, 9491 Santa Fe Line Road, Wapakoneta, OH 45895.
Arrangements are in the care of Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview. Condolences may be expressed at

NEW YORK—Apple is planning to begin production of a new iPhone similar in size and shape to its latest version in the second quarter of the year, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
The business daily, citing persons familiar with the device's production, said the newest model of the smartphone could be ready for a summer launch. The newspaper said Apple refused to comment.
The Journal said that in the meantime Apple was continuing to work with its Asian partners on a cheaper version of the iPhone that could be launched as early as the second half of this year.
The iPhone 5 went on sale at the end of September in the United States and nine other countries.
More than five million of the devices were sold in three days, more than the previous model but falling short of some analysts' expectations.

Re: The letter "Red Light Camera Decision" (A-J, 7-25).
The letter writer protests the decision not to install cameras at red light intersections as political and outrageous.
Red light camera enforcement is based upon a presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle photographed is the operator. Until such time as our state legislature provides for such a presumption, the burden of proof is on the government.
Spending tax dollars on red light cameras for the purpose of issuing unenforceable citations is even more outrageous.

Happy Thursday afternoon!
It's almost Friday so I thought I would throw a little giveaway for you. Sound like a plan?
Happy Thursday afternoon!
It's almost Friday so I thought I would throw a little giveaway for you. Sound like a plan?
I think like me, many of you are nail polish and/or makeup "collectors" right? I never intended to start collecting makeup or nail polish but it just kind of wound up that way.
I think the first collection I had was MAC Lipsticks. Since I discovered them 20+ years ago I became obsessed with their lipstick. I still think they have the best lipstick line out there. So over the last 20+ years I have always had about 75-100 MAC lipsticks at any given time! Then slowly my nail polish collection started growing. Then I started blogging and everything EXPLODED into chaos, haha!
Good morning!
Today I've got a perfect manicure for those who might be a little, oh I don't know, avant garde or daring. It's what I call a Cat Fur Manicure. It's actually not as time consuming as a lot of nail tutorials out there, which is a good thing for someone as impatient as I am. It can take a little practice though!
So what do you need for this tutorial? Not much. All you need is a base coat, some nostril scissors (or other small scissors will work) and some cat fur!
It helps to have access to a cat, to get the aforementioned fur. 🙂
For this tutorial I went with Chewbacca's fur because it's a nice orange color and orange, as you know, is very popular for spring and summer.
First thing to do is brush the cat to get some cat fur. I only had to go over Chewbacca's coat maybe ten times to get a good amount of fur.
Then carefully pull out the fur from the brush. I try to take it out as gently as I can so it doesn't get wadded up in a huge ball, which makes it difficult to lay out on the nail.
Next I snip sections out from the hair clump large enough to cover each nail. Make sure you have all ten done before you start the actual application process because it's much easier that way.
Viola! You now have a cat fur manicure and I pretty much guarantee you that you won't see many other people with this design.
The cool thing about this is if you have different types of cats, you can have a different look. For instance I have a brown tabby named Squirt. If I wanted a darker, multi-colored mani, say because I am going out to an edgy restaurant for dinner, I could use her fur. And Sammy has pale peach/orange fur and pure white fur on his underbelly. So if I wanted a lighter more conservative look, say for a job interview, I could use his fur.
And the great thing is you could use any animal fur really! Parker has shiny jet black fur and some white fur, so I could do a black and white look with his. So many options!
Is this a manicure you would try?
By the way…
Happy St. Patrick's Day (again)!
As I mentioned in my blog post today and on Twitter/Facebook, I wanted to share St. Patrick's Day manicures from readers. I think it's always fun to see the various ideas people come up with.

Apple offers fix for iMac's Radeon HD 4850 freezing issuesA rare weekend software update promises to cure system freezing issues in early 2009 iMacs equipped with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics chipset.
Released on Saturday, iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.4 (1.7MB) specifically addresses the hard lock-ups that occur at random and leave iMac users with the custom-order graphics with no choice but to reboot their systems to regain a usable computer, regardless of whether they're using Mac OS X or running Windows in Boot Camp.
It also mends problems owners have encountered which prevent the systems from waking properly from sleep when using Boot Camp, Apple says. The update requires Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later.
The company hasn't explained what has caused the problems, which have triggered lengthy discussions on Apple's support forums and, though producing different symptoms, have drawn parallels with an earlier ATI graphics freezing issue from 2007.

Papers Reveal Secret Struggle To Display Washington's Jewish LetterBreaking News
The mystery surrounding President Washington's famous 1790 letter guaranteeing religious liberty in America continues.
As the Forward revealed last week, Washington's letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, R.I., disappeared from public view almost a decade ago, after the B'nai B'rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum, where the letter had been displayed for half a century, moved to a smaller location and put the document into an art storage facility in suburban Maryland.
The Morris Morgenstern Foundation, which owns the letter and loaned it to the museum, has kept such tight control over it that even top American Jewish historians had no idea where it was. Now one of those scholars has uncovered historical records detailing a secret tug-of-war between the congregation of Touro Synagogue in Newport and Morris Morgenstern, the New York philanthropist who bought the letter in 1949 at a fraction of what the iconic document is worth today.
Touro's congregants considered themselves to be the historical heirs of the recipients of the original letter, in which Washington pledged that the new United States would give "to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance." Minutes from synagogue meetings, uncovered by a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania, show that Morgenstern originally considered loaning the letter to the congregation — and that the congregation simultaneously made preparations to sue Morgenstern to get the letter back.
Beth Wenger, director of Penn's Jewish studies program, discovered the documents in the jumbled archives of Congregation Jeshuat Israel while she was researching her latest book, "History Lessons: The Creation of American Jewish Heritage."...

Yesterday I spoke to the WIN Home Inspection franchisees at their annual conference. As is typical, I had a few people tell me before the session began that social media is for their kids and they just don't get it. One partner even told me that I had better have enough energy to keep him awake because he was really tired and, besides, he has kids at home that do this Facebook thing so he doesn't see the need for his business.
You know comments like that just get me fired up and I picked on him a good bit during the workshop. I love taking the cynicism and fear of a room and turning it into motivation and excitement. And that's precisely what happened.
But that's not the point of this post. The point is that some great ideas came out of our three hour workshop and I want to relay them to you here.
They were sitting at tables of 10 so, after the intro on social media, I had them work to come up with terms they could use for Google alerts.
I know, I know. Everyone has Google alerts, right? Um. No. They don't. It's step one in listening, which is the foundation to a great social media program, so we always start there…in understanding why they're important and what to search in order to make yourself most efficient at listening to the online chatter.
Some of their ideas included:
- Their name.
- The company name plus the city in which they live.
- Top producers in their city (I especially love this one because they work with real estate agents and this is a great way to target new prospects).
- Local competitors.
- The company name plus the word "sucks" (I'm reading "What Would Google Do" and Jeff Jarvis suggests all of us should be searching for our companies with the word "sucks" in it; i.e. Arment Dietrich sucks. No, there's nothing in that search, but believe me, it's an alert I have set up!).
- Services they offer.
- Local organizations they either currently support or want to support.
- The names of the people at their competitor's offices, not just the company names.
- How-to or advice on keeping your home up-to-par so it's ready for an inspection when you sell it.
- Products that typically fail in homes.
- Companies that sell products that typically fail in homes.
- Industry organizations.
- State regulations around home inspections.
Though some of these ideas are specific to their industry, they can be tailored to use for any company.
Be honest. Do you have Google alerts set up? Are they this detailed? What would you add to the list?

I have Google Alerts set up for all of Element-R's clients and on more than one occasion they've made us to critically important information related to the client's businesses and our ongoing programs. Every business should use this extremely simple listening tool.
My alerts aren't this detailed. If they were, I imagine I'd be spending the better part of my day reading my Google Alerts. They are a great tool however.
I follow common phrases for my work such as "failure of leadership", "failure of teamwork", "executive failure", etc. It gives me good case studies to talk about during executive team strategy sessions without having to reference a real client example. It's also good blog fodder where I can show how we'd handle the situation *before* it got that bad. This also works for press releases.
I would add a Google Alert that would tell me if and when the government has added me to a "watch list" of some kind, and left it lying unprotected on a publicly facing server somewhere.
confidential "ItStartsWith.Us" filetype:xls OR filetype:doc OR filetype:pdf site:*.gov
One can never be too careful.
Great examples. I'll be setting some of these today.
And a business owner saying "My kids have Facebook, what do I need that for?" reminds me of the day my then 9 yo daughter told a teacher "My Mom has a history degree, why do I need to know this stuff?"
Yes, I have a few Google Alerts set up. To Steve's point, I can imagine that it would get overwhelming to have too many. That said, this blog post has definitely stretched my thoughts on a few more alerts I should be watching.
I would add that, in addition to company name, companies should add frequent misspellings of their name.
I love, love, love Google alerts! I've also used them to track candidates I wanted to hire, potential prospects, and more. Gini – what's your take on the other alerts? I've found that there are some variances between Google and other providers.
Putting your company name with "sucks" is overkill – Google alerts would send you an email just because your company name, or your own name, is in the posting. You can select how often to receive the alerts – hourly, daily or weekly so that you will not be overwhelmed with results.
I have been using Google Alerts for YEARS. I am constantly telling people to use it, so I'm glad you put this post up. It's getting retweeted all right.
I use Google alerts for industries I am interested in like pr and non-profit. And I add alerts of companies before an interview so I can talk about recent news.

very helpful… thanks!
It is really interesting, especially with a new site to see how long it takes Google to scan new content. So one alert you can set up for a domain, say mydomain.com, is "site:mydomain.com". This will give you an alert whenever Google spiders new content on your site. If you set it up for "as it happens" alerts, you will get up to the minute content updates.
Also, this is an interesting search in Google itself to see how many pages of content Google has from your site.
Gini- The geography limits are important for local businesses, glad you included that. I've gotten Google alert hits from Twitter handles and website addresses; CompanyName as one word rather than two.
Sure you can have too many, but they can be easily changed per the campaign. For example, you can track a specific promotion or event and when over, cancel the alert.

Great list of Google Alert components. I am always surprised how many people don't have them. It's a fairly simple first step in listening to what's being said.
I have several but think I'll rethink that list now. Your suggestions are more comprehensive. Geographic alerts are really critical in our "remote" area too. I would also remind people to use the quotation marks and "+" symbols, etc. to make sure they are getting the alerts they want.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 4
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 4 News Release: USDL: 99-201
Wednesday, October 20, 1999
Contact: EUGENE STEWART
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Foamex International, Inc., for safety and health violations at the company's Verona, Mississippi, plant. The citations carry penalties totaling $31,950.
According to Clyde Payne, OSHA's Jackson area director, an inspection was triggered by a complaint about safety at the plant.
"If the company had instituted an effective safety and health program, it would have had a mechanism in place to recognize, evaluate and control hazards, " said Payne. "It makes good economic sense to minimize employee down time."
The safety component of OSHA's inspection of the Verona facility revealed one repeat and 7 serious violations. The serious safety hazards, resulting in penalties totaling $10,500, included lack of point of operation guards on slitters and saws, an unguarded belt and pulley on a tilt saw, ungrounded electrical equipment and electrical cords not connected to devices and fittings to prevent tension to joints or terminal screws. Hazards associated with welding cables -- using them with damaged insulation and with a splice at less than 10 feet from their holder -- also fell under the serious category.
OSHA also observed protective covers and devices missing from electrical boxes. An additional $10,000 fine was imposed for this violation, designated as repeat because the company had been cited previously for exposed live parts in 1997.
The agency's health inspection at the site resulted in citations for three serious items, including the company's failure to evaluate the worksite to determine if spaces should be classified as permit-required confined spaces and to post signs at the location of permit spaces. Also designated as serious were violations involving blocked exits and various hazards associated with abrasive wheels. The total penalty for the serious violations was $3,750.
Two repeat health violations, with a total penalty of $7,700, were cited because of poor housekeeping at the plant and not training employees on hazards associated with chemicals used in the plant.
A serious violation is one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and that the employer knew or should have known of the hazard.
Repeat violations occur when an employer has been cited previously for a substantially similar condition and the citation has become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. A citation is currently viewed as a repeat violation if it occurs within three years either from the date that the citation becomes a final order or from the final abatement date, whichever is later.
Foamex International, Inc., with 130 employees at the Verona facility, manufactures building and construction foam products. The company has 15 working days to contest OSHA's citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Inspections of the worksite were conducted by OSHA's area office located at 3780 I-55 North, Suite 210, Jackson Miss. 39211-6323; telephone: (601) 965-4606.

i hope they know what they are doing. bid ask is all over the place
Funny you mention this. We have only traded 27,000 and they bring us down .20 . Please what type on manipulation is that. No worries though I am Long, doesn't matter where the price goes. Always do as you feel, not what you hear.
well i understand it is not a highly traded stock and it seems there is no afterhours trading either but starting a bid ask over 0.50 seems a bit odd.. maybe that is why the high spikes intraday.I am long also.. there are alot of drugs in the pipeline and some will have multiple indications

If you've ever created text layers in a Photoshop document or an Illustrator file, you're probably already familiar with how to create text inside of an After Effects composition. The process is pretty much exactly the same. So let's add some text into our project here, so we can explore some of the different options. So let's get started by adding some text to our composition. Press Cmd + T, or Ctrl + T on the PC, to automatically grab the text tool. Now with the Text tool selected in the Toolb panel, here in the upper left hand corner of your interface. Look a couple inches over to the right and you'll see that we have Auto Open panel selected.
And if we look to the lower right corner of the interface, you'll see we have a Characters panel. and a paragraph panel. Now obviously if we deselect this panels will no longer appear any time we grab the text tool. I sort of like this feature so I'm going to leave this selected. This button to the left of the selection box will toggle those panels on and off. So this is also another good way of quickly getting our text options. Now, when I'm setting a lot of text, what I prefer to do is change my workspace. So let's go over to the workspace pulldown, click on the word Standard, and change it to Text.
Now, in the text workspace, notice the character panel and the paragraph panel are much more easy to access, right here on the right side of our comp. So to add text to our comp, Move your mouse just a little bit under the letter T in dedication, and click. And you'll notice I'll get this line. The line is letting me know that I can edit the word dedication. This happens quite a lot when you're trying to lay text right next to each other. So an easy way to fix this is to select layer four, and then just enable the lock option.
So that way I can't select the layer in my time line Nor can I accidentally edit it here in the comp window. Now let's try this again. Go ahead and click. And I've automatically created a text layer. And all I need to do is just start typing to add a word. So let's add the word to find. To set type in your project, you can press enter on the keypard or. Grab the Selection tool out of your toolbar. Now, your text may look different that my text, and that's because After Effects will always remember the last settings you used whenever you add new type into your projects. With our text layer selected here I'm going to decrease the size down to around something like 60 and I'll press Enter to go ahead and set that information.Now we can click on the text layer and move it anywhere in the scene. Now the type of text that we've created is called point text and I know this because the anchor point down here is in the lower left corner. I'm having a hard time seeing exactly what's going on with my text so I'm going to increase my magnification by scrolling with my mouse. Now you can also middle-mouse click and holding down the middle-mouse button click and drag.
You can see I automatically grab my hand tool and that just repositioned my composition. Now these handles sometimes annoy people when they're trying to preview type and you can turn those off pretty quickly by going up to the view options in the comp window. So if you go to the upper right corner of the comp window, click on this little dashed icon with a triangle to the left. And go to view options. Under the view options, let's disable handles. Now when we click OK. I won't see the handles even though layer one is selected. This is great but it's really important that you don't forget that you turned that off because it will stay off any time you continue working on the project and sometimes if you forget It can be kind of scary. So with the text layer selected, let's preview some different typefaces. In the upper-right side of the character panel I'm just going to make sure Helvetica is entirely selected.
As long as the text layer is completely selected in our character panel you can then use the up and down arrows to scroll through the different typefaces that you have installed on your system. Now obviously my system may have more fonts then yours. So dont panic if you have different type faces popping up. You can also click on the pull down arrow and jump dirrectly to a specific type face if you want to choose something specific. So I'll choose Helvetica New. The first option up here allows us to make adjustments to the font family and the option down below allows us to make adjustments to the font style. If you press tab on your keyboard you can automatically jump down to the font style and again use the up and down arrows to choose different type faces. One thing that I do recommend if you are setting type for use in video you don't want to use a really thin type face because sometimes that'll break up when the video is compressed.
Especially if its going to the web or standard definition. So I'm not going to choose to ultra light italic, I'm going to leave mine set to just italic. Even that is a little questionable as to how clean it's going to reproduce. But for now I think this kind of works. So that's creating point type. Now before I move on to showing you paragraph type, I want to draw your attention to the upper right corner of the character panel. See how I have a fill option for this big white square? Well, this black Outline square below it will actually allow me to create a stroke and there is a stroke currently on this text, but the stroke width is kind of small and the fill is set to be over the stroke. So let's increase this number to 10 pixels. Now I can clearly see the outline this way when I click on fill overstroke You'll see more clearly how adjusting the stroke over the fill for the fill over the stroke will change how that text appears.
I'll leave this text like this because I actually think it looks kind of cool. But before we jump into paragraph type, I want to go back to the upper right corner of the comp window and make sure we go to our View Options and reenable our handles. Now let's click OK. Let's zoom back out in the comp window so I have a little bit more space to work with. I'm going to scroll with my mouse. And again, middle mouse click and drag just to kind of reframe the scene. Okay, to create paragraph text, you can grab the text tool and then click and drag in the canvas.
And anywhere that I drag, the text will create a box. I can quickly and easily add some text just by typing. And that's obliviously a bunch of gibberish, but you'll notice the text only stays inside of that bounding box. I can re-size that box, and notice it's not distorrting the text it's just filling in more letters since I continued to type. So, this is a great way of creating things like credit scrolls, or creating large blocks of type. Now, another thing you can adjust with Paragraph Type that you can't adjust with Point Type Is justification.
On our system here, we have Justify All set up and that's why the text is going all the way from one side to another. I'm going to grab my selection tool here just to kind of set my text, but let's change the justification to left aligned. And here, you'll notice now, it's only aligned the left side of my text. Now, if you found some of these text options interesting, I want to let you know that we definitely have dedicated an entire chapter to animating and manipulating text.
