First of all, who the hell is Diana DeGette? And where's her proof that abstinence-only education don't work? People who run abstinence-only programs care about our youth and are committed to countering the sexual images readily seen on the likes of MTV and BET. Liberals don't like the idea of teenagers not having sex because it makes a dent in Planned Parenthood's profit margin, much less the idea continually promoted by liberals that teenagers are just horny dogs incapable of controlling their hormones. But studies have shown here in the U.S. and overseas that abstinence-only education does work and has in fact lessened sexual activity amongst out young folks. But hey, forget all that because Barry has a white, liberal base that he must cater too, so anything Bush-related just has to go, no matter how positive and effective it was.Unwed teenage mother Bristol Palin might be out there talking about abstinence, but President Obama isn't buying abstinence-only education.
Two $100 million programs from his predecessor's budget pushing abstinence only are casualties in President Obama's $3.55 trillion budget proposal.
The President is replacing them with $110 million "for teenage pregnancy prevention programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation," as spelled out on pages 490 to 495 of the budget appendix.
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., applauded the move, saying "eliminating funding for ineffective abstinence-only programs is a win for science. The Obama budget proposal invests in programs that are effective and based on sound science, rather than wasting millions of dollars on efforts that have been proven to be ineffective at best."
Palin, meanwhile, told GMA's Chris Cuomo that "regardless of what I did personally, I just think that abstinence is the only way you can effectively, 100 percent foolproof way you can prevent pregnancy."

"A Great Gatsby for the end of the century."--The Baltimore Sun
"Swift and amusing. . . . An astute social observer of the cruelties of modern New York, [McInerney] is also capable of great tenderness." --The Boston Globe
Jay McInerney returns to the restless urban landscape of Manhattan and offers us a glimpse of a devotee of the city whose faith is severely tested.
Connor McKnight's ennui is fast turning into anxiety as he struggles to keep his life intact. He has temporarily shelved his Akira Kurosawa biography in pursuit of an interview with elusive young actor Chip Ralston to secure his job at CiaoBella! magazine. Connor's model girlfriend has left him, and his brilliant sister is wasting away in anorexic seclusion. Ridden with angst and heartache, Connor can't even turn to his best friend, a brooding fiction writer who has balanced his sanity on the publication of a new story collection and the return of his Irish terrier. He is left to seek refuge in a vodka bottle, and consolation from a beautiful stripper at an upscale topless club, only to find that nothing can protect him from the harrowing fate that unfolds before his bleary eyes.
Together with seven stories that "remind one of . . . Fitzgerald and Hemingway" (The New York Times Book Review), Model
Behavior once again demonstrates McInerney's keen wit, deft portraiture, and lively skill with language.
"The careful observation of that downward spiral [is] brightened by McInerney's facility with the bon mot and his fondness for skewering the pretensions of the nouveau hip." --The Miami Herald
"Very funny, and full of the rakish, old-fashioned literary elegance that McInerney always manages to mix into the slangy idioms of his characters." --The New York Review of Books

Model Behavior
Chapter One
When Philomena looks in the mirror she sees a creature fat and unattractive. This despite the fact that she is a woman whose photographic image is expensively employed to arouse desire in conjunction with certain consumer goods. Or rather, because of that fact. Toxic body consciousness being the black lung of her profession. Dressing for the party, she screams that she's bloated and has nothing to wear.
I'm clutching a preparty martini when she makes this declaration. "You look terrific," I say.
She seizes my glass and hurls it at the mirror, shattering both.
It's all right, really. I drink too much anyway.
The name of the party is the Party You Have Been to Six Hundred Times Already. Everybody is here. "All your friends," Philomena states in what can only be described as a citric tone. It seems to me that they are her friends, that she is the reason we grace this fabulous gala, which takes place in the Waiting Room of Grand Central, presumably evicting dozens of homeless people for the night. We're supposedly on hand for the benefit of a disease, but we were comped, as was everyone else we know. "I'm sick of all this pointless glamour," my glamorous girlfriend says. "I want the simple life." This has become a theme. Weariness with metropolitan life in all its colonoscopic intricacy. I wonder if this ennui is somehow related to that other unstated domestic theme: sex, infrequency thereof.
We are accosted by Belinda, the popular transvestite, whom I am nearly certa

My order had an item that they did not have in stock so they held the order until they could ship it complete. That was fine but I would have preferred if they had let me know that was happening. As it was I sent two emails asking about the status of my order before hearing back from them. Of course, just after I sent the second email the package arrived at my door, as it would happen. Ordered Oct 25, delivered Nov 5. I have already placed another order with them, so I'm not too bothered, am I?

It just gets better and better each year. I'm now convinced that 1 day isn't enough to celebrate my birthday with all the friends I have coming from many industries. I don't really throw grand parties whatsoever. I guess when you become older, you tend to go for simpler things. With me though, it has always been the simple things which I give value the most. I believe that this blog has changed me a lot, not just with the skills I learned, but most of all about how I view life in general.
These days, I'm slowly being convinced how mad I have become with photography. My life right now revolves around images. Everyday, I fall in-love more and more with the images I create. I think I'm becoming a real geek now!
This month, I just wanna spend time with the people who really matter to me and the plan is to go out and spend time with them... pretty much the same as always. I don't just remember people during special occasions....
Badeth of course has always been one of my very loyal friends. We're more of sisters actually. Honestly, though she's way younger than I am, I must say that I also learn a lot from her. I love hanging out with her. Having occasional girl bondings etc. She knows most of my friends from the music scene and she finds them to be crazy! LOL
This evening, we decided to check out this dessert place at Matahimik St. called Fancy Crepes. We thought it would just be a typical crepe cafe but it turns out to be really special.
Here's why.....
Each crepe is personalized! We were amazed when we saw our names on our plates! Good thing I always have Maggie with me!
We ordered crepe Suzette and Nutty Nutella |
Badeth couldn't get over her lovely plate! |
I love Crepe Suzette |
I never thought this experience would be really nice.Got us so excited! Funny how that little gesture would make all the difference. It just goes to show how having a little "personal touch" makes even the simplest of things so precious. I love he "country" "homey" ambiance of the place. As you know I love wood a lot! I can't wait to invite my other friends over! I find it to be an ideal place to hang-out on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Honestly, I don't really feel like growing old...I even feel younger and more alive day by day. I may have occasional shortcomings but good thing, I still manage to deal with them head-on....coz at the end of the day, I still know that things are gonna be for the good and that people with the best of intentions will always be rewarded from above. And really, I am sooooooo blessed so there is no reason for me to be sad.
*sigh* it's nice to be ALIVE at 32!
I may not be the type whose face could launch a thousand ships... I may not have any poems or songs be written in my memory....these things, I won't really know for sure. What's important to me perhaps is that I hold this firm belief that I'm one of those who are brave enough to dare LIVE.
...when I die, let this be etched on my tomb: The Girl Who Dared to LIVE!

Let's say you're in the market for a new iPad case. You want something strong and sturdy for travel, but also sleek and stylish. And you'd like it to be black and olive green. Or aubergine.
In other words, you are me. Last fall I started rooting around for that very case, querying on Twitter and Facebook and weighing pros and cons. Someone suggested I check out the Dodocase, which resembles a Moleskine notebook. I loved the look but wasn't completely sold. I tweeted once more: "Looking @DODOsays iPad cases--and *this close* to pulling the trigger ... Any opinions out there?"
As it happened, there were. Matt Winslow, co-founder of Dodo competitor Beacon Cases in Raleigh, N.C., fired back a suggestion to check out his product. In a subsequent e-mail, he discussed pros and cons of various cases and particulars of Beacon's unique "tab and gate design" (a pivoting wooden doohickey secures the iPad, as opposed to a tension fit or strap).
My experience researching iPad cases wasn't unique. You probably approach many planned purchases--anything from a refrigerator to a wedding ring--much as I did: by Googling options, querying your social networks, reading reviews or asking around on professional networking sites.
Keep this in mind: Your buyers are doing the same, and they have more information for online shopping at their fingertips than ever before. Some of that information may be stuff you put out there (on your website, blog or Facebook page), and some might come from external sources. In any case, your customers are likely doing their homework before they communicate with a single one of your salespeople.
Research company Aberdeen Group refers to this as the "hidden sales cycle." Nowadays, it's rare that we purchase anything without checking out reviews, visiting Angie's List or asking friends on Facebook. That means your prospects walk through your door (real-world or virtual) already knowing the issues they want addressed, the solutions available to them and the price range of those solutions. How can your business reach and respond to those "hidden" buyers?
Listen on social channels. Monitor relevant keywords on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, or monitor related topics on sites like Focus or Quora to find people who might be looking for what you sell.
Beacon's Winslow found me because he keeps an eye out for keywords and phrases like "iPad cases," as well as mentions of competitors. He monitors Twitter from the search box (search.twitter.com), but there are plenty of free and paid tools that can handle the task, including good ol' Google Alerts. Other monitoring tools worth checking out include TweetDeck, HootSuite, Topsy, Social Mention, MarketMeSuite and NetNewsWire.
Be the go-to source for information. Aberdeen says the smartest marketers have to "out-educate the competition to gain mindshare and shape the prospect's vision early." Do this by focusing on customers' problems in the content you publish, whether on Facebook or your blog or in webinars, e-books and white papers. And by positioning what you sell as a solution to those problems (when it is) and being honest (when it's not).
Winslow says his strategy is, primarily, to be a resource for anyone looking to buy an iPad case, and secondarily, to be a seller of the Beacon case. That seems paradoxical (shouldn't his approach be to sell as many Beacon cases as he can?) until you consider that it's a rare product that meets the need of every buyer in every possible scenario. (And in our socially connected world, unhappy customers won't stay silent.)
I appreciated Winslow's honesty in his communication last fall: "If you're looking for a case that's extremely sleek, the Dodo is probably your best bet. On the other hand, if you're concerned about durability, I would recommend the Beacon Case, hands down," he told me.
Buddy up marketing and sales. In larger organizations, make sure your sales and marketing functions are aligned. Some specific ideas might be for marketing staffers to produce sales-friendly content (like price comparisons with the competition or product-specific landing pages) and occasionally to participate in product pitches, demos or in-person sales calls. Also key is to identify when, exactly, to hand off a lead from marketing to sales.
So don't overlook the chance to out those hidden customers. You just may turn browsers into buyers.

Joshua Tree National Park wildflowers~Nature Notes~032912
Hubby and I traveled out to Joshua Tree National Park last Saturday. It was an overcast day, not the best for taking photos, but he was off for the whole weekend, so off we went. I didn't get to drive up through Deep Canyon and I am missing it. There was more snow up there last weekend and I honestly didn't wish to be hobbling around with my sore knee up there. So, he and I headed the other direction, toward Joshua Tree. We ate lunch and entered the park through the western entrance. There were a few more blossoms on the joshua trees, but not many wildflowers at that end of the park. We decided to drive all the way through it, since our daughter lives in Indio and we had to stop by her house before heading home. There were more wildflowers at the eastern end of the park and I stopped to take some photos of them. There were lots of blues and purples, but not too many yellow ones. It hasn't been the best year for wildflowers anywhere here in the desert, since we haven't had the rains like we had last year...sigh...but at least there were a few flowers blooming.

I noticed yesterday that the "Mountain Community Group" in Anza just southwest of you will be doing a nature walk and viewing the wildflowers. They will be doing the Flaower Walk and Talk on Sunday April 22, 2012. Hope you can go there and take some pics. I can't because I live in Sweden, though the area they are hiking through is the mouth of Hamilton creek to Burnt Valley. I live in Burnt Valley for 26 years before coming here 6 years ago. I really miss the southwest.
My blogs mainly deal with my experience in mycorrhizal relationships and other types of networking functions all ecosystems provide. Most of my experience came from living in Anza. I also love the Pinyon area near Deep Canyon.
Thanks for your blog, I have now bookmarked it.

Ancient Secrets of Creation : Sepher Yetzira, The Book That Started Kabbalah, Revealed
Sepher Yetzira is a second or third century Hebrew book that is considered to be the seminal work of Kabbalah because it is a mystical interpretation of the Old Testament's creation story, and Kabbalists delve beneath the surface of the Bible to understand the unspoken mysteries of how the world came to be.
Ancient Secrets of Creation is a new translation and reinterpretation of Sepher Yetzira that provides the answers to questions about how God created the world, especially how the expression, "And God said" is used. Because of Sepher Yetzira's succinctness and the passage of time, its implicit meanings have been lost. However, this work provides a fresh understanding of Sepher Yetzira by rediscovering and clearly explaining those mathematical, scientific, philosophical, and theological foundations on which it rests. These include pertinent pre-Socratic Greek philosophies; the ideas of Plato, Plotinus, Iamblichus, Neopythagoreanism, and Neoplatonism; as well as the works of Philo of Alexandria, the Old Testament, and rabbinic understandings at the time that Sepher Yetzira was written. This translation and explication unlock the secrets hidden within the Hebrew-language text of Sepher Yetzira, the book that started Kabbalah.

All the married men who wanted to party with Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel on her birthday are now gonna have to find something else to do that night -- because the shindig has officially been canceled.
According to Rachel's lawyer, Gloria Allred, "The media attention was unexpected and unwelcome and for that reason the planned party at a club will not take place."
Interesting, since the invite has been floating around the Internet for days ... wonder how it leaked?
There were black people on the Jetsons!!!! Judy's surprise birthday party episode had a black guy in it, he had an afro and bell bottoms, do your homework TMZ!
Gee - let me guess how that leaked!!!!! Doesn't take a mental giant to figure that one out, right Gloria????
Rachel--too bad you went through the birth canal alive and didn't suffocate, you would've done us all a favor!
They put out an invite calling her a "celebrity socialite" and then say the media attention is unwanted. Gloria, give us a break. You are nothing more than an extortionist who should have your law license revoked. You even give lawyers a bad name which is really saying something.
uh huh...more like..WHO THE HECK WOULD BUY A TICKET??????? ..the gig ain't selling..duhhhhh
Why if Rachel got a couple million from Tiger would she need to try and sell her birthday. Other than the fact that she is a gold digging slut something doesn't make sense.

How Do Judges Think about Risk?
A sample of almost 100 judges exhibited well-known patterns of biases in risk beliefs and reasonable implicit values of life. These biases and personal preferences largely do not affect attitudes toward judicial risk decisions, though there are some exceptions, such as ambiguity aversion, misinterpretation of negligence rules, and retrospective risk assessments in accident cases, which is a form of hindsight bias. Although judges avoided many pitfalls exhibited by jurors and the population at large, they nevertheless exhibited systematic errors, particularly for small probability-large loss events. These findings highlighted the importance of judicial review and the input of expert risk analysts to assist judicial decisions in complex risk cases.

Talking Spirituality: My First Trip to Spirit Rock
by Natalie Grigson' Sep. 24' 2013
I want to start this post with a disclaimer. Now, I am going to try very hard to concentrate on writing this, but I must warn you, it�s going to be difficult. I haven�t felt this high, this excited, this incredibly jazzed, pumped, stoked, thrilled and generally amped in a very long time.
It might have something to do with the fact that I am sipping on an iced latte right now that is about 90% sugar (In the normal world, I don�t drink coffee), but I think it has more to do with the fact that I just spent my entire day at
Spirit Rock Meditation Center
and now find myself in the most quaint, idyllic coffee shop in the most quaint, idyllic town I�ve ever seen: Fairfax.
I have that feeling usually reserved for small children, or adults when they�re on vacation�that I-can-do-anything-I-want-to, I-am-invincible, I-am-going-to-go-climb-a-tree, eat-candy, or go-explore-unknown-territories feeling�hence the sugary latte.
So what was it, exactly, that has me so jazzed�so jazzed that I am actually using the word �jazzed�? Like I said, I spent my day at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, which is just outside of Fairfax, in Marin County; and specifically, I spent my day attending
Anushka Fernandopulle�s
Mindfulness and Innovation retreat.
It was a day filled with contrasts, perfectly mirrored in the Center�s dried, barren hills and the lush, green of the forests dotted here and there. We began the day with a silent meditation�immediately, I sank into it fully and comfortably; that same feeling of burrowing beneath your covers after being gone all week. It was a very special feeling, facilitated, I think, by the sheer consciousness of the room.
Over the course of the day, we meditated�sitting, standing, walking; we practiced mindful listening; we practiced mindful eating; we chatted, we were silent, we laughed, we cried (okay, I cried); we even got a chance to draw some portraits and play with some improv. In other words, it was amazing, and I must reinforce that it was solely the people who made it so.
Anushka was an amazing, calming, and completely cool and relatable leader. After chatting with her, I found out that she is a regular at Spirit Rock, for both day-long retreats and longer ones as well. She also hosts retreats and even weekly meditation and dharma teachings all over the Bay Area. To see what Anushka�s up to, and I recommend you do, check out her
Equally as important were those helping with the retreat�the Spirit Rock employees, volunteers, and even each of us attending. The very air buzzed with positivity�plus it smelled like pine needles and spices from the surrounding land.
All told, it has been a day for the books. If you have not been to Spirit Rock Meditation Center, I can�t recommend it enough. If you haven�t yet hear of Anushka Fernandopulle�s work, do yourself a favor and check her out. Oh, and if you haven�t been charmed by Fairfax yet, do so on your way back from the Meditation Center. I am so moving here.
Namaste, everybody.

A Petersburg Circuit Court judge granted a motion today for a temporary injunction that halts a disciplinary hearing against a Petersburg City Council member.
Judge Pamela S. Baskervill made the ruling in favor of Councilman Kenneth "Ken" Pritchett, who sought the injunction. City Council had planned to hold a disciplinary hearing Thursday on accusations made by a city employee about Pritchett.
Baskervill also asked that Pritchett and his attorney meet with the attorney representing the rest of City Council during the next 30 days to discuss the possibility of a settlement. Under a new disciplinary rules concerning City Council members that were adopted in June, it was possible that Pritchett could be removed from elected office or censured.

Local families were treated to Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday at the Salvation Army.
It took more than 100 volunteers moving through assembly lines to make sure all the guests were able to sit down to a hot meal.
It was a traditional turkey dinner, complete with the holiday favorites like pumpkin pie.
Organizers say they served more than 400 people today, which is more than last year. The Salvation Army says they're seeing that more people are in need this holiday season.
"This year we're expecting a few more, requests are coming in more and more and today the crowd does look a bit thicker," Major David Minks said. "A lot of people in the community just don't have enough and they're worried that when Thanksgiving comes around, that there's not going to be a nice, hot meal on the table. So this is a great way to provide that for so many at one time."
The Salvation Army has already started to collect food and toys for the Christmas season. They say the best way to help, is to donate through their red kettle campaign.

I think we need guards more than big men. We still have Alex Thompson, and Craig Brackins next year. Also any big guys coming in already as Freshman? Good guards are the weak link at this point.
I think you need at least 3 big men. One is injured, one fouls out, the other team has more than one big man. Now if you can get some real point guards like Drake has, then maybe go guard. Emmenecher and Young both can dribble penetrate and they are speedy. Josh actually can shoot threes also.
CFH HMagic bball season. Let my fred's Four Horsemen ride.
I think we take the best available no MATTER what position. We need talent period.
we need someone that stays longer than 3 weeks
We need guards who are ready to play, period.
We need a guard AND a big. That's what we are efforting.

Because when you recruit top quality players, like we are doing now, a lot of other D1 schools are after these same players. If you want to be drop dead positive sure to get a recruit, then you would have to go after low quality players that no one else is recruiting. Appleton is a good example. We are competing against Kentucky.

Rangers notes: Minnesota bound
Minnesota bound
Tonight's game in Minnesota has special meaning for four Rangers.
Marian Gaborik and Derek Boogaard are ex-Wild teammates who signed with the Rangers as free agents and will be returning to the Xcel Energy Center for the first time.
Rookie center Derek Stepan and second-year defenseman Mike Sauer are playing their first NHL game in their home state.
"For sure," said Stepan, who grew up in Hastings and played at the Xcel Energy Center numerous times in college with Wisconsin. "It's my first game back home so it definitely feels important."
Stepan said "60-plus" family and friends will be attending the game.
Gaborik, the Wild's first-ever draft pick, signed a five-year, $37.5 million deal with the Rangers in 2009. He missed the Rangers' 3-2 loss at Minnesota on Oct. 30, 2009 due to a knee issue.
"It's been on my mind but I don't want to think too much ahead," Gaborik said before the Rangers faced the Avalanche. "I want to focus on [Friday's] game. I want to keep it out of my mind right now."
Boogaard, the 6-foot-7, 265-pound enforcer, signed a four-year, $6.6 million deal this off-season.
"I think some guys wanted to play against [Gaborik] last year. I think the defensemen didn't want to play against him," Boogaard said. "It'll be a good feeling but definitely different to be on the other side."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob053 My 4th pair of these shorts!
Just an overall good quality pair of shorts. I use them for fishing , swimming and around town. They've really improved the quality over the years and they've always felt comfortable to wear anywhere. I might not be a "professional thrill seeker", but I do wear these more than 53 days a year and they hold up to everything I can give them.

After figuring out the belt buckle, this bathing suit stays on while swimming, fits well, dries quickly, is lightweight, and fashionable. I highly recommend this product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by steve111 satisfactory product
I purchased these shorts for use during kayaking. I ordered two pair, but have returned one pair. The tan pair are excellent, fit well and meet my needs. However, the second pair which appeared much darker green on the web, arrived a very different green, a color which i would not wear. I have returned this pair for a refund.

Rated 4 out of 5 by skipdog Features I wish these shorts had
I was hoping these were the same, or similar shorts to what I already had. The ones I have had a mesh lining, separate of the pockets. While this pair does have a zippered separate pocket, I really preferred the other version. I actually cut out the mesh lining but still had the quick drying pockets. Overall, pretty happy to have these, though. I have a lot of Columbia stuff, and appreciate the quality!!

¡Samba de Los Muertos!
Posted: 10/17/2011Hola, amigos! In celebration of the upcoming Día de los Muertos — Mexico's Day of the Dead, that is! — we're mixing one of our favorite music games to ever use plastic maraca controllers with the style of cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada for… Samba de los Muertos! Shake it!!
Samba de los Muertos is available now on the Meat Bun store in two delicious flavors, deathly black and ghostly white.
Very colorful, yes, but still a super soft print. If you prefer your Days of the Dead a little darker, opt for the black version, printed with discharge ink for an equally soft feel and a vintage look.
Finally, there's one more addition to the Meat Bun store! The wildly popular Shao Khalvin design is now available in athletic gray blend! We printed a small batch of these (and restocked in white!), so grab 'em while we got 'em!
Visit the Meat Bun Pop Up Shop at GR2
Posted: 10/01/2011The Meat Bun pop up shop at Giant Robot is now open for business! For a limited time, you can buy the latest (and sold out!) designs from Meat Bun at GR2 in Los Angeles, California–including tons of stuff that's out of stock on our web store. Of course, you can also buy about a bazillion other fascinating things from GR2, including art, apparel, housewares and much, much more. If you're in the area, grab some Meat Bun at GR2, where we also co-host Game Night bi-monthly.

The Most Important Wedding Do's and Don'ts
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life. Along with your first kiss, graduation and having children, your wedding is something that you will remember forever. However, it can be really stressful. There are several mistakes that couples make both before and on their big day. Here you will find out more about the dos and the don'ts for your wedding.
- Amazing
- Inspiring
- Funny
- Scary
- Weird
- Important
What You Should Do
One thing that many brides forget is that it is not just their big day. It is also your future husband's big day and for that reason they should be actively involved. It is often easier to just tell them what to wear and what time they have to be at the venue. However, many grooms welcome the chance to be involved in the wedding planning process. Not only does it help them to feel important, but it can also bring you closer together as a couple. When you try to do everything yourself, you can feel resentment towards him. Therefore you should allocate specific jobs to each other so that you are both involved in the process.
Another thing that you should do is shop around for deals. Weddings can be really expensive these days so it makes sense to save money where you can. Online auction sites such as EBay can be fantastic for finding wedding things. Whether it is party supplies or even your wedding dress, there are many bargains to be found on the internet.
A really important factor that you need to consider is who you will be inviting to the ceremony. Most couples have fewer people at their ceremony than they do at their reception. You also need to consider where everyone will sit at the wedding. In most families there is always at least two relatives who hate each other. Seating them near each other could be a potential disaster. Therefore you need to work out the seating plan long before the big day!
What You Shouldn't Do!
The main thing that you should never do is leave everything until the last minute. You do not need to be stressed out just before your wedding. Plan everything as far in advance as possible. It isn't always possible to stop things from going wrong. However, it is possible to make sure that you are prepared. Try to think of everything that could go wrong and form backups just in case.
Do not try to make everybody happy. This is a particularly common mistake which couples make. You try to arrange the seating plan to prevent arguments and you also arrange the date around your guests too. Trying to keep everyone happy is exhausting and it is actually impossible. No matter how hard you try, you will never keep everyone happy at your wedding. Accept this fact and just focus upon yourself and your partner.
Your wedding day should be as stress free as possible. If you follow the above advice then it will help you to relax and enjoy your day together

The problem with .asia is that it is competing with .in, .tw and .cn and the other Asian ccTLDs. It also has to comepte with .com/net/org. That's why it is a gamble. If the .com version of a domain is parked and the .asia is developed, then it will benefit from Google traffic.

A faint positive (self.predaddit)
submitted 5 months ago by [deleted]
Hello everyone,
My SO consulted the oracles this morning via the sacred method of pissing on a plastic stick. A faint positive line was their response. So I may now be on my way to pre-dadness. Pre-pre-dadness.
Can I join in here? I'm currently in a mix of euphoria, numbing terror and a need to keep a lid on it during early days.
[–]TheWalruss 6 points7 points8 points 5 months ago
Cool! Faint positive is how it all begins...
[–]z6joker91st Due Feb 2014 - Girl! 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
Of course you can- usually a faint positive on an early test is a good indicator. Check again soon or let the doctor check it, but in the meantime, congratulations!
If you're not already- most of us used alts this early on, so that anyone that knew us on reddit IRL wouldn't find out yet. A lot can go wrong this early, so try contain the news until after she sees her ob.
[–]Poshdinosaur 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
And this is an alt account - plus I don't have a very reddit-savvy group of friends. I've been asked why I spend so much time looking at bears.
[–]Mermaid_raperBaby Boy Born Feb 8, 2014 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Congratulations and welcome!
[–]rgraves22Its a Girl! Charlotte Born 1/22/14 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Congrats and welcome! You are in for a great ride.. we are 23 weeks along and it has been interesting. I for one am totally excited for our little girl to show up.
[–]thatguy13422#1 (girl) due 4.30.14 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Check again the next morning. It will usually get a lot darker after a day or 2.
[–]arguile65 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Have your lady do the pee test first thing in the morning in a few days, you will know for sure then
[–]Poshdinosaur 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
I'm honestly having trouble stopping her from taking pee tests at the minute, but this is good advice.
Realising we are not in control at this moment is not something we are dealing with particularly well...
[–]ShannonOh 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Arguile is right. False negatives are extremely rare. Your lady is pregnant until proven otherwise. Congrats, papa!
[–]Poshdinosaur 3 points4 points5 points 5 months ago
I broke out into a cold giddy sweat when I read the word papa!
[–]ShannonOh 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
[–]scabiesFORdaisies 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
My wife and I just found out as well this weekend. She are in particular is a control freak and I'm more easy going about it. Needless to say, I think she took like 5 positive tests. You can't really stop it. I am excited too and fantasizing getting to build everything for the nursery and what not. Enjoying taking care of her and my wife is waaaayy less hormonal now than she was before pregnant. She has/had pmdd so I think she's gonna enjoy pregnancy more than others
[–]Poshdinosaur 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Aw man, first of all, congratulations.
We've passed through the 'take a test because we are not sure' to 'take a test because it's fun to see a positive result'. They're just taking up space on the shelf otherwise!
Hahaha yeah! My wife snuck to target to get a cheap line test to prove to herself that the hCG hormone is stronger than it was on Saturday. Saturday!!!
[–]doll59 0 points1 point2 points 4 months ago
Hahaha, my boyfriend and I found out this week as well... Me= control freak Him= laid back.
I also took about 10 pregnancy tests. As well as one more for good luck after I went to a walkin clinic
I know the feeling well, been through it twice. Has led to two great kids. Its super scary but worth it. Things I have learned that might help right now
[–]coffey64Baby Boy due March 10, 2014 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Welcome aboard!
[–]AreYouReadyToRedditDue Febuary 28th 2014 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Welcome! The vast majority of incorrect tests are false negatives, not false positives I believe. So its time to start trying on that Dad Hat, you may find you like it. : )
[–]BartletForMurica 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Congrats! Welcome to the club, man. We're still fairly early on, but it has been both exciting and terrifying. Both natural emotions!

Pool B: England through to JWC semi finals
By Rich Freeman
From Tokyo
With the last round of pool matches finished, England now know they will face South Africa in the second semi final in Tokyo on Wednesday. Samoa, as Pool B runners up, will meet France in Fukuoka, while Scotland face Fiji in Osaka and Japan must travel to Nagoya to meet Italy.
England became the first team to book a semi final spot at the IRB TOSHIBA Junior World Championship 2009 when they beat Samoa 52-7 at Tokyo's Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium.
Kicking off two hours earlier than the other three pool deciders on a sweltering hot, humid day that saw the teams take a water break midway through each half, last year's runners up were simply too efficient and too clinical for the Pacific islanders.
Rayhan Laulala's missed penalty kick in the 24th minute from in front of the posts seemed to sum up the Samoans' day, nerves getting the better of them on the big occasion.
England, meanwhile, ran in five tries to ensure the match was wrapped up by half time, allowing them to ease off the gas in the second half.
Good lineout ball saw Henry Trinder open the scoring in the third minute, making the most of an incisive break by his centre partner Luke Eves to touch down.
With Rory Clegg's boot making sure England had the advantage in the territory stakes, Trinder scored his second try just five minutes later as Samoa failed to deal with a chip ahead from England scrum half Ben Youngs.
Tom Homer failed with the conversion but was on target five minutes later with a penalty following a scrum that had seen the heavier Samoan pack going back at a rate of knots.
Homer increased England's advantage to 18-0 in the 21st minute with another well struck penalty as his side came away from the Samoan half with points on the board again.
Trinder turned provider in the 26th minute, feeding George Lowe for England's third try and, with Homer adding the extras, it was effectively game over at 25-0.
Carl Fearns made sure of the bonus point, touching down from a five-metre scrum as England shunted the Samoan pack backwards. Youngs then followed suit a minute before the break as England showed that technique means everything in the tight.
With the weather taking its toll and the match in the bag, England opted to open the second half with a shot at goal, despite a 39-point lead, and Clegg duly knocked the penalty over.
Auvasa Falealli ensured the big crowd finally had something to really cheer, touching down in the 49th minute, but it was nothing more than a consolation score.
Fearns scored a carbon copy of his first half try in the 60th minute and the England number 8 was followed onto the scoresheet by Charlie Sharples to bring up the half century.
England may have been convincing winners but the standing ovation given to the Samoans at the end of the match told which team the big crowd had supported.
England move into the semi finals for the second successive year and will play the winner of Pool C, be that South Africa or France. Samoa will fly to Fukuoka for the fifth to eighth placed play-offs, where they will meet the runners up in Pool C.
England head coach Mark Mapletoft: "We are getting progressively better, we started well against Japan, but we knew we were nowhere near where we wanted to be. We stepped up against Scotland, to a slightly tougher opponent, not so much in terms of ability, but really in terms of rivalry between the two teams. And then we put fifty points past Samoa. This is really pleasing, gives us a lot of momentum, but our lads know that there is still loads to do and we are facing a much different task on Wednesday."
England captain Calum Clark: "We are really pleased, especially the first half, I think in the second half we tailed off a little bit but probably due to the heat and these three games have taken their toll so far. But we are delighted with certain aspects of the game, scrum went really well, the lineout, and clinical at attacks, so this is a positive. We know we've got lots to work on and hopefully we'll progress and perform better next time."
"I still feel a little bit rusty, first games back always difficult, there's been a lot of work put in by the conditioner with England and the physios here and back home, at Leeds. So I've got them to thank, really. I feel good and hopefully going to get better with each game."
Samoa head coach Sogi Meleisea: "It's been not a bad performance, but we did not have a good start, we made a lot of mistakes and it is hard to win them back. The team got tired, it is the third game of the competition, but there will be no excuse, every team is getting tired."
Samoa captain Siaosi Otto Iona: "The hardest thing, they came out strong in the set pieces, especially their scrum. We learn a lot from today, we have to improve our set pieces, and get better. We have the feeling of sadness. We lost today, but we refocus on our other game, and the winner of that game takes all. We have to refocus on another position, this is why we are here, to improve our rank from seventh. We aim at sixth or fifth."
Scotland made sure they will remain in the top tier of world Under 20 rugby as they beat Japan 12-7 in the final match of Pool B at the IRB TOSHIBA Junior World Championship.
The defeat means this year's host will have to play regional qualifiers for the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy in 2010, while Scotland will travel to next year's Junior World Championship in Argentina.
Scotland had the majority of the possession in the first half at Tokyo's Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, but they were up against a tenacious defence that never stopped tackling.
Both sides had chances early on to get on the scoreboard but Peter Horne's penalty went wide and Japan wing Opeti Faeamani was tackled a metre short of the line.
As a result the sides stopped for the water break locked at 0-0 and it wasn't until the 28th minute that the scoreboard started ticking over.
From a scrum five metres out, Scotland wing Grant Anderson showed some impressive strength to power over despite the attentions of three Japanese defenders.
Horne missed the conversion but he was on target seven minutes later. Stuart McInally then eluded the Japanese midfield and the number 8 passed onto Chris Fusaro, who touched down under the posts.
Nerves seemed to be getting the better of the Japanese team and their hard work of getting into the opposition 22 was wasted by poor handling.
Scotland, meanwhile, had done their home work and their ability to stop Japan's driving maul not only prevented the hosts getting on the scoreboard, it also succeeded in quietening the record 15,242 crowd – until the 52nd minute.
Having spent several minutes camped on the Scottish line, the Japanese forwards finally spread the ball wide to their backs.
A delayed pass from Harumichi Tatekawa created a hole in the Scottish defence and replacement Naoya Minamihashi dived over for the try, which was converted by Kenta Nakasone.
The try changed the composure of the match and it was suddenly the Scots who were showing more nerves with the last quarter being determined by fitness and which team weathered the humidity best.
In the end it was Scotland, but only just, and they now travel to Osaka for the ninth to 12th place playoffs, while Japan will try to restore some pride in Nagoya and better last year's 15th place.
Scotland Head Coach Rob Moffat: "We won the game. And apart from winning the game, we scored two tries in the first half, I thought we defended well, we had to kill the Japanese pressure especially the driving maul, that's their game, I thought we defended that well. But all and all we need to play a lot better than that. We were really nervous today, so the next two games we want to play some really good rugby."
Scotland captain Fraser Brown: "I think, performance wise we were very poor, but the main thing for us was we won. We knew to expect the unexpected. We knew that they would kick to touch to the line out and try to drive us and they got very strong at the maul and tried to run the game a lot. We tried to catch their team unaware, and we were prepared for that and I think actually we defended it very well. But I think our attack was very poor."
Japan Head Coach Masahiro Kunda: "Scotland didn't let us control the game, we wanted to stick to our game plan and strategy, but Scotland were very successful in stopping that. We had great crowds at all of our pool games, so we really wanted to win, so it is quite a disappointment."
"First game against Italy, we definitely want to win. We lost against Italy last year, so it is going to be a revenge game. We are going next year for the Junior World Trophy, but we also want for the rest of the tournament to expose our players to the international atmosphere. By winning those two games we would like to make the tournament still alive and exciting for Japan's fans."
Japan captain Ryuhei Arita: "We couldn't utilise the chances we had in the first half, this is why we lost. In the three pool games, we could see some improvement in the team, but it is all disappointment we couldn't win any of these three games. As a captain, I wanted to win some games because this team will be dissolved after the tournament, so we wanted to leave some legacy. Our next aim is to show all of our strengths and what we practiced, in Nagoya."
