Great Depression price tag: $13 trillion
Category: Business Written by Charlene Crowell
(NNPA)—Although Feb. 14 is typically remembered for Valentine Day, this year that date brought new findings on the cumulative costs of the Great Recession—$13 trillion in cumulative losses in household wealth and high unemployment are the result of the Great Recession, according to a new Government Accountability Office.
Earlier research by the Center for Responsible Lending found that the spillover effects of foreclosures wiped out nearly $2 trillion in family wealth. From 2000-2010, African-American family wealth dropped 53 percent, and Hispanic families lost 66 percent. By comparison, average White household wealth dropped only 16 percent. The foreclosure crisis and resulting economic downturn have turned back the clock on previous wealth gains, especially in communities of color.
The GAO report was performed at the request of the Senator Tim Johnson (SD), chair of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, and Rep. Michael Capuano (Mass., the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance.
Responding to the report's findings, Capuano said, "I thank the GAO for this comprehensive report. Millions of Americans lost their homes to foreclosure, Millions more lost retirement savings and too many Americans found themselves unemployed. . . Any costs associated with implementing Dodd-Frank pale in comparison to the trillions of dollars in losses that have already occurred. Congress must ensure that Dodd-Frank is implemented comprehensively and effectively so that the tools are in place to prevent another crisis."
Despite the independent, non-partisan GAO findings, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau opponents insistently call for changes to Bureau, the centerpiece of Dodd-Frank Reform. These critics either do not know or are ignoring how the Bureau returned $425 million in consumer refunds and levied another $70 million in fines for abusive financial practices.
Nor would these critics likely acknowledge that new CFPB rules will ensure that no mortgage borrower will be given an unaffordable and unsustainable loan. Thanks to CFPB, each lender is now required to determine and verify borrowers' ability to repay before the loan is issued. Additionally, consumer-friendly changes in mortgage servicing means borrowers will no longer incur costly surprises with their loans or be given a runaround by a servicer.
Had CFPB and these mortgage rules existed before the housing crisis hit, communities of color would not have been financially devastated. Every consumer can be encouraged by the Bureau's actions to increase greater transparency in financial services, coupled with common sense rules of the road. America's families need nothing less.
Responsible businesses have recently begun speaking up in defense of CFPB. For example, John Arensmeyer, founder and chief executive of the Small Business Majority, recently said, "The financial industry wrote its own rules for too long. Honesty and transparency are not too much to ask from institutions that helped run the economy into the ground. Lawmakers—many of whom talk a lot about protecting small businesses—should be the first in line asking for more accountability."
The U.S. Senate is charged to advise and consent on presidential nominees. On Valentine's Day more than half—54 in all—wrote to President Obama to express their strong support for the CFPB and Director Richard Cordray.

Proceeds taken from poor and older people
Category: Business Written by Damon Carr
The Pennsylvania Lottery has a slogan—"Proceeds benefit older Pennsylvanians." The PA Lottery boast of the fact that it's the only lottery in the nation that exclusively targets all of it proceeds to programs for older residents. Clearly the Pennsylvania Lottery understands its core market—POOR and OLD People. Studies have shown that ZIP codes that spend four times what anyone else does are those in lower-income parts of town. This article is in no way an attempt to attack the Pennsylvania lottery in and of it-self. This article is written to heighten awareness that all forms gambling including bingo, lottery and casinos are a tax on poor and older people.
Financial Guru Dave Ramsey teaches if you want to be rich, do what rich people do and if you want to be poor do what poor people do. Having been raised by poor people and most of my closest friends being poor people, naturally my wife and I have some poor people habits and tendencies. My wife claims that she enjoys bingo and I claim to enjoy going to casinos. I have had the opportunity to frequent various bingo halls and casinos over the years. As I began to learn how money works and began to hear that gambling is a tax on the poor, I began to pay attention to the people that filled the bingo halls and casinos. As you look at the people passing by, it's easy to see that a great majority of the people who frequent bingo halls and casinos are aging people. As I begin to strike up conversation with people at these places it became obvious that many come from low-income communities. If you're ever at a convenience store, gas station or grocery store that sells lottery tickets, pay attention to the long lines. You can easily identify most of the patrons buying lottery tickets are old and poor people.
My observation forced me to think back to my childhood. I was brought up in an impoverished community. I grew up watching my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbors engaging in lottery, bingo, casinos and other forms of gambling on a daily basis. It's mind boggling as I think back and reflect on how much money was and continues to be spent trying to make a come-up gambling their money away. I've watched people sacrifice bill money hoping they'll win so that they can recoup the bill money plus have some extra money to spend. I've watched people spend way too much money on dream books, lucky candles, and other merchandises as if these merchandises will give them some advantage. I've witness first hand close relatives spending $20.00 per day on the lottery (before they had mid-day lottery), $40.00 per day on bingo and roughly $150 every two months at casinos. That equals $375 per month spent on gambling each in every month for the past 30-years of my life. The sad reality is that over the 30-year period that I've watched and continue to watch my close relatives engage in the lottery, bingo, casinos and other forms of gambling—They are still POOR PEOPLE.
Mathematically and statically speaking gambling is a rip-off and is a tax on the poor. Consider the size of the various casinos and the lavish decoration. Who's paying for it? Many churches today and other organizations profit dearly from proceeds from bingo. Who's paying for it? I had a friend who owned a small convenience store. He told me that the lottery was his best marketing tool. It attracted a lot of traffic to the store. People spent massive amounts on the lottery and the traffic helped him moved other products off of the shelf. Research has shown that ZIP codes in the low-income parts of town spend four times more than anyone else. My own eyesight has witnessed that the majority of the people who fill the bingo halls, casinos and lottery lines are older people. Gambling of all forms is a tax on the poor. It's interesting to note that 96 percent of those age 65 or older are BROKE.
Just think if my close relatives who individually spend roughly $375 per month on the lottery, bingo, casinos and other forms of gambling for the past 30 years had hid the money under a mattress today that monthly amount would equal $135,000. If they had invested the $375 each and every month in mutual funds earning an average rate of return of 10-percent for the past 30-years their money would have grown to $847,683. The irony is that if they had saved and/or invested the money each and every month instead of gambling it away for the past 30 years and counting, today they would no longer be poor people.
My wife and I at one time justified our casino and bingo activity as a form of entertainment. It turns out that we were losing money in the name of entertainment.

SBA reaches out
Category: Business Written by Diane I. Daniels
LEADING THE CHARGE—Marie Johns, deputy administrator of the US Small Business Administration visits Pittsburgh spreading the word about the SBA. (Photo by Diane I. Daniels)
Access to capital, counseling and contracting support for small businesses are three tools the U.S. Small Businesses Administration offers its clients. Designed to provide assistance in helping small businesses start and grow, the SBA functions in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam. The local office, covering a 27 county region is located at 411 Seventh Avenue in Suite 1450.
Recently in Pittsburgh, SBA Deputy Administrator Marie Johns met with area federally funded agencies geared toward helping small businesses as well as Faith-based and community organization leaders and small business owners. Discussion focused on the needs of businesses in the region, what the SBA can be doing to support job creation and to assure that participants are aware of the programs and resources provided by the Administration to help them grow, hire and succeed. Conscious of what it takes to operate a small business, Johns says her focus is to ensure that entrepreneurs in underserved communities have the resources, relationships, and tools they need to start businesses and to create good-paying jobs.
"My grandfather owned a lawn care business in Indiana. I know what it is like and what it takes to operate a small business," she said.
Throughout its 60-year history nationally and locally, the SBA is credited for assisting millions. Understanding that access to capital is a major obstacle for any size business, Johns pointed out that the SBA offers a range of loan programs for very specific purposes and is currently developing two more.
Indicating that the SBA does not directly loan money, she stressed that they work with federal, state and local entities.
Known for its technical assistance, the SBA offers free counseling, advice and information on starting, better operating or expanding a business. Assistance comes through one-on-one meetings, through training, counseling and business-development programs.
Partnerships are something Johns and local District Director Carl Knoblock stress are very important.
"Resource partners are key to bringing services to the table as well as serving as outreach sources," said Johns. "We are always looking for new partners and a ways to spread the word about our services. Faith-based and community organizations serve as good sources. We want to form strategic alliances with groups not just locally but nationally as well."
Knoblock listed the African American Chamber of Commerce of Western Pennsylvania, the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, Pennsylvania State, the Penn State Data Center, Pittsburgh Regional Alliance/Business Resource Center, and the Pennsylvania Chapter of Business and Industry as a few local resources.
While outlining resources, Johns listed Pittsburgh as having a strong Senior Core of Retired Executive Center, two Women's Business Centers at Chatham University, E-Magnify at Seton Hill, and the area Small Business Development Centers.
When questioned about programs for young people interested in entrepreneurship, Johns indicated that a pilot program is being initiated in some regions in conjunction with the Department of Labor and being tried out at Job Corp sites.
Pittsburgh is just one of the many stops Johns and senior SBA officials are making as they travel the country spreading the word about the President's messages from the State of the Union, as well as the resources offered by the SBA to help small business owners and entrepreneurs—particularly those in underserved communities—succeed as part of the Administration's efforts to help strengthen the middle class.
Johns, nominated by President Barak Obama has been deputy administrator since 2010. Her responsibilities include managing the agency and developing programs and policies. During her tenure, it is reported that she has led the SBA for the past two years in record breaking lending, supporting more than $30 billion in loans annually. She works with the President's senior advisors at the White House ensuring that more federal contracts are awarded to small businesses. She also serves as the chair of the President's Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business Development.
Committed to the SBA mission of helping small businesses, Knoblock said he does so by using SBA programs: government contracting, guarantor of loans, advocacy, disaster assistance, and technical assistance. The Arizona native is known for his dedication and deep passion of helping small businesses succeed and create economic development in the region.
A former entrepreneur and retired Navy vet, he uses his expertise and knowledge to direct local entrepreneurs at all levels.
Both Johns and Knoblock think this is a good time to start a business as the economic recovery takes root.
"The Pittsburgh region has good things going on and now is the time to connect with the SBA and use the skill sets that you have," said Johns.

Email, voicemail, text—no response. What gives?
Category: Business Written by Associated Press
CONNECTING MORE--Mahrinah von Schlegel, managing director of Cibola, an incubator for tech entrepreneurs that will open this spring, checks a social networking site at her office in Chicago, with her cell phone nearby. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
by Martha Irvine
CHICAGO (AP) — Technology is supposed to make us easier to reach, and often does. But the same modes of communication that have hooked us on the instant reply also can leave us feeling forgotten.
We send an email, a text or an instant chat message. We wait — and nothing happens. Or we make a phone call. Leave a voicemail message. Wait. Again, nothing.
We tend to assume it's a snub, and sometimes it is.
Erica Swallow, a 26-year-old New Yorker, says she's heard a former boyfriend brag about how many text messages he never reads. "Who does that?" she asks, exasperatedly.
These days, though, no response can mean a lot of things. Maybe some people don't see messages because they prefer email and you like Twitter. Maybe we're just plain overwhelmed, and can't keep up with the constant barrage of communication.
Whatever the reason, it's causing a lot of frustration. A recent survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 39 percent of cell phone owners say people they know complain because they don't respond promptly to phone calls or text messages. A third of cell owners also have been told they don't check their phones frequently enough.
It happens in love. It happens in business.
"Tell me to go to hell, but just tell me something! I'm getting lonely over here." That's what Cherie Kerr, a public relations executive in Santa Ana, Calif., jokes she's considered putting after her email signature.
It happens in families.
Last year, Terri Barr, a woman on Long Island, N.Y., with grown children, sent her son a birthday present — a $350 gift certificate for "a wonderful kayaking trip for six, lunch, wine, equipment," she says.
She sent him an email with the details, but he didn't respond. She says she then telephoned and texted him to tell him it was a present. He eventually sent a one-line email, she says, telling her he was too swamped to open her email gift right then.
Instant communication "can be wonderful — but also terrible," says Barr, who shared the story more as a lament of modern communication than a reprimand of her son, whose busy work life, she acknowledged, often takes him overseas.
So this year, she sent him a birthday gift by snail-mail in a box. "He actually opened it," she says, and they've been talking more frequently since then.
Many other people, though, sit waiting for responses that never come.
"That's where the frustration lies — it's in the ambiguity," says Susannah Stern, a professor of communication studies at San Diego State University.
Though we often assume the worst, experts say we shouldn't.
Frequently, they say, people simply — and unknowingly — choose the wrong way to contact someone.
"I admit to having often been lax with checking my work number voicemail, which has led to me not responding to people waiting for my reply," says Janet Sternberg, an assistant professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University.
She's also had technical glitches. For instance: thinking she'd sent a text message to someone overseas and then, when he didn't respond, realizing she had his international number programmed incorrectly in her phone.
"The sheer management of all these devices and channels is exhausting and sometimes daunting, leaving less and less time for actual communication," Sternberg says. "We connect more but communicate less, in many ways."
That's why many people say they have no choice but to prioritize — and to respond only to the most urgent messages.
That describes Mahrinah von Schlegel, who's working to launch a Chicago-based "incubator" that will offer shared office space and other resources for fledgling tech entrepreneurs.
"People get angry when not answered and send multiple messages," says von Schlegel, the 30-year-old managing director of the firm, known as Cibola. She says missed communication has caused her to lose some business deals. Often, it's when people try to contact her by Facebook or direct message on Twitter and she doesn't see the messages for days. Email, she says, is her preferred mode of communication.
But even then, she says, there are only so many hours in the day: "I still need time to eat and sleep and shower."
As she sees it, getting no response — even when she's the one unsuccessfully trying to contact someone — is just part of life in a high-tech world. A lot of young people say that, so they've become accustomed to having to try again, or try a different mode of communication if something is truly urgent.
"I think there's this understanding because we've grown up being bombarded by communication," says Mike Gnitecki, a 28-year-old special education teacher in Longview, Texas.
So he's willing to try "multiple points of contact" when trying to reach his students' parents — because, if he wants a response, "that's just how it is."
David Gillman, a 25-year-old Chicagoan, also opts for brevity and efficiency by sending mass texts to several friends at once to save time.
He only expects those who have time or inclination to respond, and doesn't take it personally if they don't.
It gets trickier, he says, with people from older generations, including his parents, because they like to leave him voicemails, which he doesn't like to take time to check.
"I need to get better about that," he concedes.
Those types of missed communications — and a lack of response — can cause "turbulence" in a relationship, says Dan Faltesek, an assistant professor of social media at Oregon State University. But, he adds, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
"It can be a little awkward, but you should talk to people about how you like to talk," Faltesek says. "Everyone will be happier when they say what the rules are."
And it'll go even more smoothly, he says, when people are willing to step outside their own favorite mode of communication to those preferred by the person they're contacting.
"Use the reverse golden rule," Faltesek advises. "Treat others the way THEY like to be treated."
An example: Gnitecki, the teacher in Texas, is considering sending a survey home to ask parents how they'd like to be contacted.
Tech and communication experts agree that choosing a primary means of communication, and letting it be known, is one way to improve communication.
Rebecca Otis, content and social media manager at Digital Third Coast, an Internet marketing firm in Chicago, also recommends getting rid of email and social media accounts you don't check regularly. And text messaging, she says, should be reserved for communication that requires a more urgent reply.
Finding ways to prioritize, and receive, the most important messages also helps.
San Francisco-based AwayFind Inc. is among companies that have developed applications that help filter email — in this instance, alerting users to important emails on their mobile devices.
In the end, we can't possibly respond to everything, says Jared Goralnick, the company's founder and CEO, who's also part of a nonprofit group called the Information Overload Research Group, which looks for ways to deal with out-of-control communication.
As he sees it, it's good to be responsive, "but not to set an expectation that you'll be available for everything."
"That's just not sustainable," he says.
In other words, if we're going to keep our sanity, we'll sometimes have to accept the no response.

Excerpted from book, "Money, and the Law of Attraction, Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness"
My Thoughts Create My Physical Experience
The idea of "success," for most people, revolves around money or the acquisition of property or other possessions—but we consider a state of joy as the greatest achievement of success. And while the attainment of money and wonderful possessions certainly can enhance your state of joy, the achievement of a good-feeling physical body is by far the greatest factor for maintaining a continuing state of joy and Well-Being.
Every part of your life is experienced through the perspective of your physical body, and when you feel good, everything you see looks better. Certainly it is possible to maintain a good attitude even when your physical body is diminished in some way, but a good-feeling body is a powerful basis for an ongoing good attitude. And so, it is not surprising that since the way you feel affects your thoughts and attitudes about things, and since your thoughts and attitudes equal your point of attraction, and since your point of attraction equals the way your life continues to play out—there are few things of greater value than the achievement of a good-feeling body.
It is quite interesting to note that not only does a good-feeling body promote positive thoughts, but that, also, positive thoughts promote a good-feeling body. That means you do not have to be in a perfect state of health in order to find feelings of relief that eventually can lead to a wonderful mood or attitude, for if you are able to somehow find that relief even when your body is hurting or sick, you will find physical improvement, because your thoughts create your reality.
Complaining about Complaining Is Also Complaining
Many complain that it is easy to be optimistic when you are young and in good health, but that it is very difficult when you are older or sicker . . . but we never encourage using your age or a current state of failing health as a limiting thought that disallows improvement or recovery.
Most people have no idea of the power of their own thoughts. They do not realize that as they continue to find things to complain about, they disallow their own physical well-being. Many do not realize that before they were complaining about an aching body or a chronic disease, they were complaining about many other things first. It does not matter if the object of your complaint is about someone you are angry with, someone who has betrayed you, behavior in others that you believe is wrong, or something wrong with your own physical body—complaining is complaining, and it disallows recovery.
So whether you are feeling good and are looking for a way to maintain that good-feeling state of being or if your physical body is diminished in some way and you are looking for recovery, the process is the same: Learn to guide your thoughts in the direction of things that feel good, and discover the power that only comes from vibrational alignment with Source.
As you continue to read this book, things that you have known long before you were born will be remembered, and you will feel a resonance with these Laws and processes that will give you a feeling of empowerment. And then all that is required for the achievement and maintenance of a healthy, good-feeling body is some deliberate attention to thoughts and feelings and a sincere desire to feel good.
I Can Feel Good in My Body
If you are not feeling good or looking the way you want to look, it has a way of reflecting out into all other aspects of your life experience, and it is for that reason that we want to emphasize the value in bringing your physical body into balance and comfort and well-being. There is nothing in the Universe that responds faster to your thoughts than your own physical body, and so aligned thoughts bring a quick response and obvious results.
Your physical well-being is really the easiest of subjects over which you have absolute control—for it is what you are doing about you. However, because you are translating everything in this world through the lens of how your physical body feels, if you do get out of balance, it can negatively affect a much larger part of your life than only your physical body.
You are never more clear about wanting to be healthy and to feel good than when you are sick and feeling bad, and so the experience of being sick is a powerful launching pad for the asking for wellness. So, if, in the moment that your sickness has caused you to ask for wellness you could turn your undivided attention to the idea of being well, it would occur immediately—but for most, now that you are feeling bad, that is what has your attention. Once you are sick, it is logical that you would now notice how you feel, and in doing so, you would prolong the sickness . . . but it was not your attention to the lack of wellness that made you sick. Instead, it was your attention to the lack of many things that you desire.
Chronic attention to unwanted things holds you in a place of disallowing your physical well-being, as well as disallowing the solutions to other subjects you are focused upon. If you could focus your attention upon the idea of experiencing physical well-being with as much passion as you focus upon the absence of it, not only would your recovery come quickly, but maintaining your physical well-being and balance would also be easy.
Words Do Not Teach, but Life Experience Does
Simply hearing words, even when they are perfect words that accurately explain truths, does not bring understanding, but the combination of careful words of explanation, coupled with life experience that is always consistent with the Laws of the Universe, does bring understanding. It is our expectation that as you read this book and live your life, you will achieve a complete understanding of how all things occur in your experience and you will accomplish complete control of all aspects of your own life, especially things that have to do with your own body.
Perhaps your physical condition is exactly as you want it to be. If that is the case, then continue to focus upon your body as it is, feeling appreciation for the aspects that are pleasing you—and you will maintain that condition. But if there are changes that you would like to make, whether it is in appearance or stamina or wellness, then it will be of great value for you to begin telling a different story—not only about your body, but about all subjects that have been troubling to you… As you begin to positively focus, getting to feel so good about so many subjects that you often feel passion rise within you, you will begin to feel the power of the Universe—the power that creates worlds—flowing through you.
You are the only one who creates in your experience—no one else. Everything that comes to you comes by the power of your thought.
When you focus long enough that you feel passion, you harness more power and you achieve greater results. The other thoughts, while they are important and have creative potential, usually are only maintaining what you have already created. And so, many people continue to maintain unwanted physical experiences simply by offering consistent—not powerful, and not accompanied by strong emotion—thoughts. In other words, they merely continue telling the same stories about things that seem unfair, or unwanted things that they disagree with, and in doing so, they maintain unwanted conditions. The simple intention of telling better-feeling stories about all subjects that you focus upon will have a great effect on your physical body. But since words do not teach, it is our suggestion that you try telling a different story for a while and observe for yourself what happens.
The Law of Attraction Expands My Every Thought
The Law of Attraction says that that which is like unto itself, is drawn. In other words, that which you think, in any moment, attracts unto itself other thoughts that are like it. That is why whenever you are thinking about a subject that is not pleasant, more unpleasant thoughts regarding that subject are quickly drawn. You find yourself, in very short order, not only experiencing what you are experiencing in this moment, but reaching into your past for more data that matches that vibration—and now, by the Law of Attraction, as your negative thought expands proportionately, so does your negative emotion.
It is natural that by knowing what you do not want, you are able to clarify what you do want; and there is nothing wrong with identifying a problem before beginning to look for a solution. But many people, over time, become problem oriented rather than solution oriented, and in their examination and explanation of the problem, they continue the perpetuation of the problem.
Again, a telling of a different story is of great value: Tell a solution-oriented story instead of a problem-oriented story. If you wait until you are sick before you begin to try to focus more positively, it is much harder than if you begin to tell the story of Well-Being from your place of feeling good . . . but, in any case, your new story will, in time, bring you different results. That which is like unto itself, is drawn—so tell the story you want to live and you will eventually live it.
Some people worry that since they are already sick, they cannot now be well because their sickness now has their attention, and therefore their attention to sickness is perpetuating more sickness. We agree. That would be correct if they only have the ability to focus upon what-is at this time. But since it is possible to think about things other than what is happening right now, it is possible for things to change. However, you cannot focus only upon current problems and get change. You have to focus upon the positive results you are seeking in order to get something different.
The Law of Attraction is responding to your thought, not to your current reality. When you change the thought, your reality must follow suit. If things are going very well for you right now, then focusing upon what is happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are things that are happening now that are not pleasing, you must find a way of taking your attention away from those unwanted things.
You have the ability to focus your thoughts—about yourself, about your body, and about the things that matter to you—in a different direction from only what is happening right now. You have the ability to imagine things that are coming or to remember things that have happened before, and when you do so with the deliberate intent of finding good-feeling things to think and speak about, you can quickly change your patterns of thought, and therefore your vibration, and eventually . . . your life experience.
15 Minutes to My Intentional Well-Being
It is not easy to imagine a healthy foot when your toe is painfully throbbing, but it is of great value for you to do everything you can do to distract yourself from your throbbing toe. However, a time of acute physical discomfort is not an effective time to try to visualize well-being. The best time to do that is when you are feeling the best you usually feel. In other words, if you usually feel physically better during the first part of the day, choose that time for the visualization of your new story. If you usually feel best after taking a long, warm bath, choose that time for visualization.
Set aside approximately 15 minutes where you can close your eyes and withdraw as much as possible from your awareness of what-is. Try to find a quiet place where you will not be distracted, and imagine yourself in a state of physical thriving. Imagine walking briskly and breathing deeply and enjoying the flavor of the air you are breathing. Imagine walking briskly up a gentle incline, and smile in appreciation of the stamina of your body. See yourself bending and stretching and enjoying the flexibility of your body.
Take your time exploring pleasant scenarios with the sole intent of enjoying your body and appreciating its strength and stamina and flexibility and beauty. When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and therefore, more powerful. When you visualize to overcome something that is wrong, your thoughts are diluted with the lackful side of the equation.
Sometimes people explain that they have long-held desires that have not manifested, and they argue that theLaw of Attraction is not working for them—but that is because they have been asking for improvement from a place of keen awareness of the lack of what they desire. It takes time to reorient your thoughts so that they are predominantly focused toward what you want, but in time it will feel perfectly natural to you to do so. In time, your new story will be the one that you tell most easily.
If you do take the time to positively imagine your body, those good-feeling thoughts will become dominant, and then your physical condition must acquiesce to those thoughts. If you only focus upon the conditions as they exist, nothing will change.
As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story, in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience. A belief is only a thought you continue to think, and when your beliefs match your desires, then your desires must become your reality.
Nothing stands between you and anything that you desire other than your own patterns of thought. There is no physical body, no matter what the state of decline, no matter what the conditions, that cannot achieve an improved condition. Nothing else in your experience responds as quickly as your own physical body to your patterns of thought.
With a little bit of effort focused in the right direction, you will achieve remarkable results, and in time, you will remember that you can be or do or have anything that you focus upon and achieve vibrational alignment with.

Give a shout-out to a special teacher in your life or your child's life this week (even in this space). Or even a whole teaching corps at one school.
I know that many PTAs always have special events for this week but basically, it's saying, outloud, "Thank you and you matter in my child's life."

Flashing yellow arrows confuse readers
Issue: Some readers have been confused by the new stoplights in the area featuring a flashing yellow arrow and asked me to explain what the flashing arrow means.
Status: Joanna Bush, state traffic signal systems engineer for Wisconsin Department of Transportation explained that as usual a red arrow means stop and a green arrow means the driver has the right of way to make a turn. A steady yellow arrow indicates drivers must prepare to stop and a flashing yellow arrow means a driver may make a left-hand turn but must yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic, she explained.
Installation of flashing yellow arrows began throughout the state in 2010, Bush said. Studies have shown that these arrows are safer. Drivers who are uncertain whether they have the right of way to make a turn at intersections that only have a green ball are more likely to go ahead and make that turn than drivers at an intersection displaying a flashing yellow arrow, Bush explained.
These yellow arrows will mainly be installed in intersections that are undergoing construction, Bush said. But, she said, they will also be added in locations where drivers are confused about when they have the right of way.
For a more in-depth explanation of the flashing yellow arrow, visit http://dot.state.wi.us/travel/flashing-yellow.htm.

[Solved] Fast feedback appreciated, client meeting tonight
Hey, I'm creating a gaming website for a client and he wants to see the first draft in a couple hours. Any fast feedback would be appreciated.
Pretty much the four pages are: http://projectrain.boots3pots.com/index.html
The border on the logotype seems a bit odd like that. On the news page, the top border in each section in the sidebar would look better if there was some sort of content above it like the homepage. And the footer height looks weird with such little content. I would minimize that quite a bit.
Alright, thanks. Just added Logos 'n links in the footer so it isn't as awkward now. Thanks a ton man!
You should look into PHP includes so you don't have to make the same changes on every single page.
Each page could look something like this:
<?php include 'header.php'; ?> <?php include 'menu.php'; ?> <!-- Content Goes Below --> <!-- End Content --> <?php include 'footer.php'>
This way if you have to make a change to the footer, you'd only have to update one file.
Thanks, yeah basically all the back-end stuff is being done by another person I'm just setting up a layout. He's going to be using a PHP framework so I believe that takes care of that issue?
EDIT: Sweet, yeah I was basically just rushing and copy/pasting because he wanted a fast prototype, but for the long-term I'll definitely be using something similar to that. Thanks once again.

What are osteopenia symptoms and signs?
Osteopenia does not cause pain unless a bone is broken (fractured). Interestingly, fractures in patients with osteopenia do not always cause pain. Osteopenia or osteoporosis can be present for many years prior to diagnosis for these reasons. Many bone fractures due to osteopenia or osteoporosis, such as a hip fracture or vertebral fracture (fracture of a bone in the spine), are very painful. However, some fractures, especially vertebral fractures (fractures of the bony building blocks of the spine), can be painless and therefore osteopenia or osteoporosis may go undiagnosed for years.
How widespread is osteopenia?
Osteopenia affects an estimated 34 million people in the United States. Approximately 80% of those affected are women. Nevertheless, men also can be affected by osteopenia and osteoporosis and should also be evaluated for these bone conditions when they are considered to be at risk.
Why is osteopenia important?
Osteopenia is important because it can cause bone fractures. People with osteopenia are not as likely to fracture a bone as those with osteoporosis; however, because there are many more people with osteopenia than osteoporosis, patients with osteopenia account for a large number of patients who fracture a bone. In other words, while osteoporosis indicates bone that is more prone to fracture and people with osteoporosis have a higher percentage risk of fracture than osteopenia, because of the much larger number of people with osteopenia there is a greater total number of fractures in these people.
Approximately 50% of Caucasian women will fracture a bone in their lifetime. Bone fractures due to osteopenia and osteoporosis are important because they can be very painful, although some spinal (vertebral) fractures are painless.
In addition to the pain, hip fractures are a serious problem because they require surgical repair. Also, up to 30% of patients require long-term nursing-home care after a hip fracture. Fractures, especially in the elderly, are associated with an increase in overall mortality (death rate). Approximately 20% of people die in the year following hip fracture, due to complications including blood clots related to immobility, pneumonia, and many other reasons.
The total cost to the U.S. health system for bone fractures due to osteopenia and osteoporosis was estimated at $17 billion in 2005. Due to the aging population, the number of hip fractures, and the related costs, could double or triple by 2040.

I found that the SSLCertificateChainFile which Apache uses does not work for all browsers on the Mac if the SSLCertificateFile was created by godaddy.com
These browsers on the Mac report invalid certificate:
Safari (4.x)
Camino (1.6.x)
These are the only browsers so far I have found which don't work with the certificate.
A manual solution is:
1) Launch application
2) ssh to server
3) upload root certificate chain provided by godaddy to some directory. In my case, gd_bundle.crt, was provided with my domain certificate and I uploaded it to /tmp.
3) Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
4) Add 'SSLCertificateChainFile /tmp/gd_bundle.crt'
5) Restart apache with the command, '/usr/sbin/apachectl restart'
Safari and Camino now accept the certificate as valid.
Anyone know how to automate this in cloud foundry?

His final season began with wins—lots of them—and for a while it seemed as if he might retire at the top of his sport, an unblemished icon.

How I made it to the playoffs is beyond me.... I made some great trades. but When McGahee went out and Matt Ryan started throwing interceptions my season kind of stunk! I don't even have Matt Ryan on my team. But I do have Julio and Tony G.
I had no chance coming into the week. I still have no chance only a hail marry can save me... I am down 39.6 points..
I still have Brady
He has Owen Daniels and NE Kicker Gostkowski.. So yeah I am out and will take 5th or 6th place with pleasure.
Im up 56 points after trading reggie bush and mendenhall for Mike Wallace and Olsen who gave me 40 points combined, also huge day once again from brandon marshall, he still has Aaron Hernandez and Houstons defense playing tonight...but im very confident ill be advancing to the next round of playoffs

Monsters of the Midway.
Vernon Davis..
Next week is going to tough. 2 different leagues I have LeSean McCoy. 1 is PPR and one is standard. If he comes back I have no idea how the time share with Brown is going to work. My standard league I have both McCoy and Brown so that decision is going to be a pain.

Bronner Brothers hair show draws tens of thousands of people to see what's possible with hair
Creativity is on display at Bronner Brothers
Around every corner, there was something else spectacular and jaw-dropping—whether it be hair fashioned into a cube or a bare-chested man with long, flowing curls.
Welcome to Bronner Brothers.
Jane Carter Solution model expresses his curl pride
The show was founded in 1947 by Nathaniel H. Bronner Sr. and his brother, Arthur Bronner Sr. It is recognized as the largest beauty and trade show of its kind in the world.
Incredible hair creations were on display everywhere—from the models on stages to the people attending the show.
Models, clothed and unclothed, promoted hair products
One of the highlights of Sunday's show was the Grab Bag Competition. In this contest, contestants are only allowed to use products that they are given in a grab bag. Stylist must give his or her model a hairstyle that will complement her outfit. Styles on stage included braids, twists, updos and more.
Grab Bag Contestants show off their creations
Natural hairstyles had a bigger presence at the show than ever before. In addition to the abundance of new products for people wearing their hair natural, there were many educational opportunities for stylists who work for natural hair.
Model expresses his style with his hair
Taliah Waajid, a natural hair expert, gathered a group of stylists to share her more than 25 years of experience living and working with natural hair. Many of the stylists in the room worked exclusively with natural hair, while others had seen their clientele of chemical-free clients rise steadily over the past five years.
Mizani showcases extraordinary styles at its booth
"There's a lot more versatility when you wear your hair chemical-free," said Waajid, who launched her line of natural hair products in 1996. "When they came out, there was nothing for people who were chemical-free."
Hair color spanned the shades of the rainbow
Models wore styles of all shapes and textures
Crowds poured into Bronner Brothers show, sporting their own unique styles

text: quote:Originally posted by Saro Marcarian: I've seen a couple of requests for new forums. Personally, I'm not too happy with the concept. As it is, there are MANY issues that cross over between sections. For example, many Shifter posts may be directly applicable to the 2 stroke section or the proposed Rotax section. I know you guys at EKN probably aren't developers (or are you?), but from a database and development guy's perspective, I'd love to see subject FLAGS on messages and you could elect to see only certain relevant messages. For example, a post regarding 2 stroke port heights on a 125 rotax shifter would likely have interest in the shifter, 2 stroke, and rotax sections (since the max is very similar to the shifter motor). You could be subscribed to any section and you'd see that specific post. I doubt UBB works this way, but I've always felt that's what's missing in these BBSes. Anyway... -Saro

Slow Cooker Honey Soy Chicken and Noodles Recipe
1/4 cup rice vinegar
39 comments:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how spicy is this? Sounds great but I've got a couple boys including a husband who think Ketchup is too spicy at times.
ReplyDeleteSounds so good! Any suggestions for a mustard sub that would work in this? I'm allergic, I usually use hot sauce for the kick.
ReplyDeleteIm sorry, but is the soy sauce amount correct? I made this for dinner, and i think that is wayyyy too much soy sauce. I cant even eat it. Even my husband who will eat anything cant eat it. :(
ReplyDeleteI made major modifications to this recipe. After starting the recipe I read these comments about the saltiness so I added about a cup of water to the original sauce and then I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I cooked the chicken in it and when it was done (2-3 hours, I used tenderloins so it cooked up fast) I took chicken out and shredded it. I took about 14 ounces of the remaining sauce out of the cooker and reserved it. I threw in the Soba noodles and chicken and now it is just warming. It is a little more salty for my liking but tastes good. I might throw in peanut butter to add a Thai flair and balance the sodium. Good tasting sauce though. I will use the reserved sauce for another recipe at some point.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, recipes and ideas. Just one suggestion, request? I'm old fashioned when I cook and like a printed version of my recipes. It would be great if you had a printer version of your recipes.
Thanks for all of your ideas!- Replies
Yeah, I was wondering that too, or where you can buy Soba noodles...
I just bought Soba noodles at WalMart near the other Asian foods. I haven't tried it with other noodles, but I am sure you could. You might be able to substitute Top Ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet). Let us know if you try it!I will use Rice noodles when I try this since Soba noodles aren't gluten free. :)
Hi! I love all your recipes. Going to make this sometime this week, but I have a question regarding the chili sauce......I know of 3 different kinds.
American - usually made by heinz and by the ketchup usually.....most people used this to make cocktail sauce.
Asian: Sriacha sauce (hot) - you said not to use this
Sweet (has a sweet and spicy taste) - I'm hoping and assuming you meant this one?RepliesHi Wani!
We just use the chili sauce made by Heinz. Hope you like it!
The Six SistersOh Darn, I used the Thai sweet chili sauce. I'm sure it will come out good though because I love Thai Chili Sauce (I am bias because I am thai lol). Thanks though! I will post what I think about it!
I'm prepping it now and cooking it tomorrow!We think the Thai Sweet Chili sauce sounds delicious! Let us know how it turns out! -The Six Sisters
I made this today. I had it in crockpot for 4.5 hours on low. The sauce had a burned taste. I will try it on the stove next time, and make sure the chicken is totally covered with the sauce as it simmers. I also used the Thai Sweet Chili. I guess I didn't even think of the Heinz variety. I also didn't think it was too salty, but soy sauce is a staple in this house.
We love to hear from you!
We try to respond to each and every comment within a couple of days, but if you need a quicker response, feel free to email us! email@example.com

You see them every day. They disappear quickly. So quickly in fact, we don't pay much attention to them. What are they? Dollar bills.
The following things were used as money:
The Chinese were some of the first people to use coins as money. In China, copper was plentiful; so they used it to make their money.
After making copper coins for nearly 150 years, the Chinese people began to run out of the reddish metal. When this happened, the Chinese began creating their money out of paper. They used paper money for about 500 years, then stopped. That was centuries before the "dollar" as we know it existed.
Early dollars were created from a mountain
In the Ore Mountains of Bohemia, in the heart of Europe, the dollar was born.
In 1519--more than 480 years ago--there was a silver mine at the foot of Mount Klinovec. The mine was in the town of Joachimstal or Jachymov. (Try to say that one!)
The townspeople minted coins out of the silver from the mine. They named these early coins "Joachimstaler" after their town. To make it easier to say, they shortened the name to thaler.
Read about the 15 different dollar coin versions in this sidebar |
During this time, the U.S. colonies belonged to England. Each colony had its own money. Many used gold and silver coins, and other unique forms of money.
The paper money problem
After the Revolutionary War, gold and silver were hard to find, so the colonies switched from coins to paper money. Everyone agreed at that time each "dollar" would be worth 100 cents.
The U.S. was the first nation to adopt an official currency, named the dollar. The first (paper) one-dollar bills appeared in 1785.
During the switch from coins to paper dollars, people could exchange paper money for gold and silver coins, and vice versa. That's where the term, "good as gold" comes from.
The problem with this new plan was that the U.S. colonies didn't have enough gold and silver on hand to make equal exchanges. So, no one could be exactly sure what the paper money was worth at any one time. This caused many problems.
Check out some fun things to do with dollars in this sidebar. |
Many years later, after the Great Depression, Congress made it easier. It passed the "National Bank Act of 1863," which created national banks in cities throughout the U.S. People quickly accepted paper money as the standard form of currency. One U.S. dollar still equals 100 pennies.
The story on a $1 bill
The markings found on the current one-dollar bill tell an incredible story. Look at the face, and the back for pieces of its rich history.
There are more than 10 identifying marks on the front of the one-dollar bill. On the back, there are five, including the Great Seal of the U.S. Do you understand the design and symbolism of the dollar bill? To learn more, go to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' web site for kids.
