My mom loves to tell me stories about how when I was a baby, I'd get upset when my older sister would get attention from my parents. She says I used to yell, "My mommy first!" and throw a fit. Now, my two-year-old seems to be following in her mom's footsteps, except she's applying this possessiveness not only to her sister. My husband, my cat, even my laptop simply cannot physically touch me in Jordan's presence without an emphatic, "My Mommy!"
Though I know this behavior is relatively normal for children as they try to make sense of the world around them, that doesn't take the shock away when it happens. Is your little one all about what is (or who is) his? How do you help them understand that he has to share the people he loves with others?
My daughter is 3 years old and she sometimes strives to get my attention as well. Usually it's when in trying to have a conversation with somebody else or do something that doesn't directly involve her. The way that I usually deal with this is by explaining that mommy is talking or mommy is busy and that I will talk to her in a minute. I also make sure that we get plenty of time to do things together. We read, watch movies, play games, bake, etc.
My daughter thinks the world is hers. Just today my wife told me how another mother was giving her son chips to soothe him and she walked up to the other mom and started to "cry" (really she's faking it, it would be humorous if it wasn't loud and piercing), which is her way of demanding things because she hasn't learned to speak yet. She'll also take objects from both her mother and I like our phones or food, and if we do not let her she begins to "cry" those times as well. We ignore her when she throws the tantrums, and when she tries to take objects from us we stop her and tell her that isn't acceptable behavior... it's an ongoing process
The few times I got that from the boys I simply turned and said "yup" or "Last time I checked" and continued what I was doing. I'm very skilled in multitasking but when it got out of hand, I would stop whatever I was doing for a moment and sternly tell them what they were doing was wrong and why and continue. If you don't show the seriousness of problem in your voice, they will just continue to push to see how far they can push. It's a kid thing, but your the parent, you have to set the rules and follow-through. It won't happen overnight but once they realize you are serious they'll learn.... then find something else that starts the whole process all over again!......Isn't parenthood FUN!

Could Things be Looking Up Vs. Jax?
Per NFL.com:
"NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 17, 2006) -- Both members of Jacksonville 's talented running back tandem were limping after the Jaguars' 24-17 loss to Tennessee in Week 15. Running back Fred Taylor aggravated his right hamstring after breaking loose on what could have been a touchdown run in the first quarter. He did not return, but said he did not pull his hamstring. In the fourth quarter, Maurice Jones-Drew limped to the sideline. "I thought it was a cramp initially or something just grabbing, but it didn't let up," Taylor said of his injury. "Hamstrings are tricky. Sometimes they just spasm, sometimes you can pull them. Thankfully, I did not pull it." Taylor ran 35 yards before pulling up and limping to the sideline. He tried loosening up his leg by riding a stationary bicycle on the sideline. Team officials first said his return was questionable. He later ran to the locker room, and did not return. He was replaced by Jones-Drew, who rushed for 98 yards and a score, his 13th of the season. In the fourth quarter, he caught a short pass and ran 37 yards before being tackled by Titans safety Lamont Thompson. Jones-Drew hopped toward the sideline and fell to the ground before he got there. Teammates pulled him off the field, but he was later seen kneeling on the sideline holding his helmet in hopes of returning. Jones-Drew was taken for X-rays after the game to check his left leg. Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio did not know after the game what part of Jones-Drew's leg was being X-rayed Taylor strained his right hamstring last week against Indianapolis. He had nine carries for a season-high 131 yards in the first half but sat out the rest of that game. On Dec. 17, he had two carries for 37 yards when he hurt himself on the Jaguars' second drive of the game. He said his hamstring was stiff, tight and sore but he wanted to return. "I spun on the bike, I rewrapped the wrap I had on to apply more pressure to it and tried to stretch it out. It just didn't give," Taylor said. Jones-Drew had 303 all-purpose yards in the Jaguars' 44-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last week. " Now, all the Pats have to do (assuming their RBs are banged up) is put on one of their 4 INT games again vs. David Garrard. I think we can do it; just look what the Texans D did to Jax. GO PATS!! |

Re: Could Things be Looking Up Vs. Jax?
Big posting board NO-NO.
Posting "schadenfreude" (taking joy at someone else's misfortune) is a sure signal to the karma gods. Like for the Jax to have some off the street no-name turn in a HOF RB performance against us. Seriously, it is way too early in the week to start getting excited cause we might match up against someone with a few injuries to match the Pats own list. Their guys will more than likely be somewhat healthier by next week than they appear today. Healthy enough to play.......??? But it is just bad form to wish ill on the opponent. |
Re: Could Things be Looking Up Vs. Jax?
This is going to be a "playoff' type game. Both team are going ot come out and punch each other in the mouth. A game like this will be won/lost at the LOS more than a "normal" game.
We need this win to clinch our division. Jax could need this to make the playoffs. Those players who are banged up and would normally sit one out, will play in this one. |
Re: Could Things be Looking Up Vs. Jax?
Their defence beat the hell out of Indy and TN. Jag had no offence so this is going to be the most physical game we had.
Their defence is going to beat up our offence lets hope we survive. |

Account, Contra Account, and Chart of Accounts Explained
Definitions, Meaning, and Examples
Business Encyclopedia, ISBN 978-1-929500-10-9. Revised 2014-02-23.
Each accounting sys-
tem is organized around
a chart of accounts. Each account is a holder or re-
cord of the history and
current balance for an
asset, liability, equity, rev-
enue, or expense. At the
end of a reporting period, account balances are published in reports such
as the income statement
and balance sheet.
The term account is used broadly in business in at least two related but different ways:
- An account represents a formal agreement between two parties, usually a seller and a customer, with certain rights, privileges, and obligations for each party.
- An account is one of the elementary building blocks of an accounting system--a place for recording changes in value (additions and subtractions) related to a single specific asset, liability, owner's equity, revenue or expense.
The discussion below is concerned primarily with defining, explaining, and illustrating account as an accounting concept (the second meaning above), along with related terms such as double entry bookkeeping, contra account, valuation allowance account, and chart of accounts.
• The account as a seller-customer relationship
• Account explained as the fundamental building block of an accounting system
• The meaning of contra accounts (valuation allowance accounts)
• The meaning of chart of accounts: Chart of accounts example
The account as a seller–customer relationship
In many kinds of situations, customers establish a special kind of relationship with sellers by creating an account with the seller. The relationship between seller and customer is then different from the customer/seller relationship involved in a one-time purchase transaction.
The account implies the relationship will continue for a period of time, during which seller and customer have rights, privileges, and obligations towards each other, which do not apply to those who are without the account relationship.
A customer with a bank account, for instance, may have the right to deposit and withdraw funds, write checks against the account, and receive interest payments for the bank's use of depositor funds. The bank (the seller) on the other hand, may have the right to use the depositor's funds for its own investments and charge the account holder maintenance fees.
Many sellers recognize the special relationship they have with their customers by calling each customer an "account," for which they plan and dedicate sales and service resources.
Account explained as the fundamental building block of an accounting system
In business, each profit making company establishes an accounting system in order to manage and keep track of incoming and outgoing funds. The accounting system also provides the basis the basis for financial reports the company must file periodically.
The basic building block in such a system is the account, which can be defined as a place for recording changes in value (additions and subtractions) for one specific purpose. In fact, "specific purposes" are divided into five categories, and these categories represent the five—the only five—kinds of accounts possible in an accounting system based on double-entry principles:
First, there are the so-called "balance sheet" kinds of accounts:
1. Asset accounts: Things of value that are owned and used by the business.
Example: Cash on hand
Example: Accounts receivable
2. Liability accounts: Debts that are owed by the business.
Example: Accounts payable
Example: Salaries payable
3. Equity accounts: The owner's claim to business assets.
Example: Owner capital
Example: Retained earnings
Secondly, there are the so-called "income statement" kinds of accounts"
4. Revenue accounts: The amounts earned from the sale of goods and services.
Example: Product sales revenues
Example: Interest earned revenues
5. Expense accounts: Costs incurred in the course of business.
Example: Direct labor costs
Example: Advertising expenses
In reality, even a very small business may identify a hundred or more such accounts for its accounting system, and a very large company may identify many thousands. Nevertheless, for bookkeeping and accounting purposes, all named accounts fall into one of the five categories above (see Chart of accounts, below).
Every financial transaction for the company is recorded as a change in an account. If the company uses double-entry book keeping (as nearly all companies do), every financial transaction causes two equal and offsetting account changes, the change in one account called a debit and the change in another account called a credit.
In the double entry system, just how the bookkeeper and account handle each transaction for an account depends on which of the five account categories the account belongs to. Whether a debit or a credit increases or decreases the account balance depends on the kind of account involved:
Debit (DR) Entry ... | Credit (CR) Entry ... | |
Asset account | Increases (adds to) account balance | Decreases (subtracts from) account balance |
Liability account | Decreases (subtracts from) account balance | Increases (adds to) account balance |
Equity account | Decreases (subtracts from) account balance | Increases (adds to) account balance |
Revenue account | Decreases (subtracts from) account balance | Increases (adds to) account balance |
Expense account | Increases (adds to) account balance | Decreases (subtracts from) account balance |
Suppose, for example, that a company acquires assets valued at $100,000. An asset account will increase (be debited) $100,000 (perhaps asset Account 163 from the chart of accounts below, Factory manufacturing equipment). The increase in account balance is called a debit because this is an asset account. However, the balance sheet is now temporarily out of balance until there is an offsetting credit of $100,000 to another account, somewhere in the accounting system. This could be, for instance:
- A credit of $100,000 to another asset account, reducing that account value by $100,000 (from the chart of accounts below, that could be a credit to asset Account 101, Cash on hand).
- If the asset purchase is financed with a bank loan instead of the company's cash, however, the offsetting transaction could be a credit to a liability account, increasing that account value by $100,000 (which could be Account 171, Bank loans payable).
In this way, the basic accounting equation always holds and the balance sheet stays balanced:
Assets = Liabilities + Equities
And, for every pair of account entries that follow from a single transaction:
Debits = Credits
See the encyclopedia Double entry system for more on the accounting mathematics involved in double entry bookkeeping.
The meaning of Contra account (Valuation allowance account)
Not all accounts work additively with each other on the primary financial accounting reports—especially on the income statement and balance sheet. There are many instances where one account works to offset the impact of another account. The so-called contra accounts "work against" other accounts in this way. In some situations, the contra accounts reverse the debit and credit rules from the table above.
Contra-asset and contra-liability accounts are also called valuation allowance accounts, because they work to adjust the book value, or carrying value for assets or liabilities, as shown in the examples below.
The balance sheet example running throughout this encyclopedia has several contra account examples, including these under Assets:
You may notice from the chart of accounts example below, that Accounts receivable (Account 110 from the chart) and Allowance for doubtful accounts (Account 120) are both asset accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts, however, is a contra asset account that reduces the impact (carrying value) contributed by Accounts receivable. The balance sheet result is a "Net accounts receivable" less than the Accounts receivable value.
In the same way, Account 163, Factory Manufacturing equipment carries the value of these assets at historical cost—what was actually paid for these assets. This will not decrease as long as the company owns the assets. However, the asset's book value does change downward from year to year, as shown on the balance sheet. Contra Account 175, Accumulated depreciation, factory manufacturing equipment, is subtracted from the Account 163 value, to produce the balance sheet result Net factory manufacturing equipment.
In each case above, incidentally there is also an expense category account involved, and those appear on the income statement, not the balance sheet. In the first example, the expense account is Bad debt expense and in the second case, the expense account is Depreciation expense, factory machinery. The offsetting debit and credit transactions might look like this way in the bookkeeper's journal (the chronological record of transactions):
Grande Corporation Journal for Fiscal Year 20YY |
Date | Account | Debit |
Credit |
30-Jun-20YY 31-Jul-20YY |
630 Bad debt expense 770 Depreciation expense, factory manufacturing equip |
$137,000 $2,782,000 |
$137,000 $2,782,000 |
All four transactions add to the value of the accounts listed. Debiting each of the two expense accounts adds to account value, as you would expect from the table in the previous section. However notice here that crediting the two asset accounts adds to their value as well—just the opposite of what the same table prescribes for asset accounts. For contra accounts in this situation the rules are reversed, so that the fundamental equation Debits = Credits still holds for every pair of transactions. The examples also show why a contra asset account is said to hold a credit balance.
The above examples show contra-asset accounts, but there are also examples of contra-liability accounts that operate in the same way. For example, on the liabilities side of the balance sheet, a long term liability account Bonds payable may be accompanied by another liability account, a contra liability account called Discounts on bonds payable. The value in the contra account reduces the company's actual liability from the stated figure in the Bonds payable account.
Contra liability accounts—like their contra asset account counterparts—also reverse the debit/credit "rules" from the table in the previous section. An addition to a liability account is normally a credit, but to a contra liability account, an addition is a debit. For this reason, contra liability accounts are said to carry a debit balance.
The meaning of Chart of accounts and Chart of accounts example
One of the first steps in setting up a new accounting system is the creation of a chart of accounts, which is simply a list—the complete list—of named accounts that the company expects to use for recording and reporting financial transactions.
The same list of accounts will be in view throughout the company's entire accounting/bookkeeping cycle. When transactions occur:
- Transactions, as debits or credits to accounts, are entered first in a journal. Journals record transactions chronologically, that is, in the order they occur. This and the next step are normally the responsibility of bookkeepers.
- The next step occurs when the journal transactions are transferred (posted) to a ledger. ( A ledger is a collection of accounts, organized by account type and purpose).
- Finally, the ledger transactions contribute to the financial accounting statements, starting with the income statementandbalance sheet, but also including Statement of changes in financial position and statement of retained earnings. The preparation of these reports from ledger entries is normally the responsibility of an accountant.
When setting up an accounting system using an accounting software application, the software will at the outset suggest account names for the chart of accounts, based on the size of the company and the nature of its business. Some small companies will simply use the program's default suggestions, but others will tailor the list to better fit their own situation. In any case the accountant, consultant, or business owner setting up the chart of accounts should be guided by these objectives for the chart:
- Accounts must be included to represent all of the five basic account categories (assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, and expenses).
- The chart should include enough named accounts to provide the resolution management will need to control and manage operations effectively (i.e., there should be enough accounts to show separately each area or entity of interest).
- On the other hand, the materiality concept suggests that accounts for trivial, small, or rarely used items can be omitted. When these transactions do occur, they will be entered under the headings of a few more general and inclusive accounts.
- Each account should have a unique number as well as a name. Account numbers should be chosen to show which category an account belongs to, and which accounts within category are similar to each other (see the example chart of accounts extract below).
- The initial set of account numbers should allow for later expansion of the list. E.g. the chart might initially list Account 140, Prepaid Expenses, followed by Account 150, Employee Advances. If the need arises later to add another account between these two, there are nine account numbers available.
Example chart of accounts
The example chart of accounts below is really better described as an extract from a chart of accounts, rather than a complete chart. It shows the structure and general approach to account numbering and naming, but a complete example—even for a very small company—would no doubt list many more accounts.

Brought to you by Walmart Super Center
Thu, 24 May 2012 10:30:27 EST Prospective buyers of property in Pennsylvania may have had a difficult time finding quality land at an affordable price. But that may be about to change.
Most sites that sell Pennsylvania land could be properly characterized as advertising aggregators where potential buyers of land can easily get lost in the number of choices. Bestlandforsaleinpa.com seeks to offer a different option. With parcel sizes starting at one acre, the site aims to simplify what is often a complicated process. This they hope to achieve by selling land one parcel at a time.
Site owner Gary Jones states: 'There are a lot of good deals to be had in this economy. People have made fortunes in land buying when the economy turned south, such as during the Great Depression. With bestlandforsaleinpa.com we intend to give people affordable, quality choices directly on our website that will allow people to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there.'
Quality, affordable land is an attractive idea in any economy. With signs of a real estate recovery starting to show, many will find buying real estate at low prices now to be a smart investment.
Bestlandforsaleinpa.com strives to position itself to help people make their Pennsylvania land buying goals happen.

TUESDAY, May 17 (HealthDay News) -- Both surgery and popular medications such as Nexium, Prevacid or Prilosec can successfully treat the discomfort of chronic reflux, according to new research.
Millions of Americans experience what's known formally as chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. The condition is caused by acidic stomach contents washing up into the esophagus. GERD can have a debilitating effect on sleep, work and general quality of life.
However, "we have made very dramatic improvement in our treatment of GERD, that's the good news," said lead researcher Dr. Jean-Paul Galmiche, a professor of gastroenterology in the College of Medicine at Nantes University in France. Treatments include laparoscopic surgical fixes and the use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drugs such as Nexium (esomeprazole), Prilosec (omeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole).
The new study -- which was funded by Nexium's maker, AstraZeneca -- found "dramatic improvement in the results of surgery and excellent results also with medical therapy," he stated. There was no real difference between the medical and surgical approaches in terms of their overall ability to ease GERD, "which was not expected," Galmiche said.
Each treatment option did have its merits and demerits, however. For example, with surgery there is less regurgitation than with the medications, Galmiche said, but on the other hand, "you have more bloating and flatulence after surgery."
This means that the choice of one treatment over the other is really up to the patient, he said. If you don't want to take pills for the rest of your life you may opt for surgery, or if you fear surgical complications you can opt for PPIs. "You can choose your preferred treatment," Galmiche said.
The report was published in the May 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study included 554 people with GERD who had already responded well to Nexium in a three-month try-out period prior to their entry into the study. These participants were selected because, according to one outside expert, people with reflux who do not respond to a PPI probably have another condition other than GERD.
"Those are [also] the people who tend to not do as well on surgery, because a lot of them have non-acid reflux or another cause of their symptoms," explained Dr. Amar R. Deshpande, an assistant professor of gastroenterology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Of the 554 people selected into the trial, 372 completed five years of follow-up, including 192 randomly assigned to treatment with Nexium and 180 assigned to laparoscopic antireflux surgery.
Although the study used Nexium as its PPI, Galmiche pointed out that there is no reason why other drugs in this class wouldn't work as well.
People taking Nexium were allowed to increase their dose as needed, the investigators noted.
Five years after initiating treatment, the researchers found that GERD was in remission for 85 percent of the patients who had undergone surgery and 92 percent of the patients who were taking Nexium.
Those taking Nexium had similar levels of heartburn and acid regurgitation from the start to the end of the study. However, these symptoms lessened among those who had surgery, the researchers noted.
For example, at five years, 13 percent of those taking Nexium had acid regurgitation compared with 2 percent of those who underwent surgery. Yet there was no significant difference between the groups in the severity of heartburn, abdominal pain or diarrhea, the investigators found.
In terms of complications, 11 percent of the surgery patients had difficulty swallowing, compared with 5 percent of those taking Nexium. Among those having surgery, more suffered bloating than those taking Nexium (40 percent versus 28 percent) and the same held for rates of (excess) flatulence (57 percent versus 40 percent), the researchers found.
In addition, about 29 percent of those who had surgery and 24 percent of those on Nexium experienced some serious adverse event.
Overall, however, "this large, multicenter randomized trial demonstrated that with modern forms of antireflux therapy, either by drug-induced acid suppression or after laparoscopic antireflux surgery, most patients remain in remission for at least five years," the study authors concluded.
Commenting on the study, Deshpande said that "if you did well on Nexium and if you continued it or went to surgery, both afforded you a nine out of 10 chance of staying in symptom remission over the next five years."
As he sees it, GERD therapy typically becomes a personal choice. "If you are taking one pill once a day, most people tend to want to do that [rather] than undergo surgery," he said. However, it is those who do well on a PPI that typically also do well after surgery, he noted.
People who might opt for surgery are those who don't want to take pills or are afraid of the side effects of PPIs, Deshpande said.

Valentine's Day gifts for the home
Valentine's Day is the holiday devoted just to love, and what more classic symbol of love is there than the heart?

Here are some ways to wear your heart on your sleeve this February. --LARA EWEN. Special to Newsday

text: Matthew Fox, the founder of the Friends of Creation Spirituality: "Meditation is calming the reptilian brain. We have all got three brains in us: One is a reptilian brain, which is about 420 million years old, our mammal brain is half that old, and our most recent one is the intellectual creative brain. The reptilian brain is very prominent; it runs our respiratory and sexual systems; it is action and reaction. We have to calm this reptilian brain so that the mammal brain, which is the brain of compassion and is here to bring kindness and kinship and bonding, can function. I mean, reptiles do not make good lovers; that is not their thing. Meditation allows us to treat the reptilian brain well: 'Nice crocodile, nice crocodile.' When we calm the crocodile, then the mammal brain can assert itself. Meditation is not just for professional monks; it is a survival mechanism for us all, especially in this time of crowdedness and rubbing shoulders with people of different faiths and traditions. We all have to learn to calm our reptilian brain." |

Great Location. Comfortable Bed
Bring earplugs if you get a street facing room
Old building with style and updated room with nice contemporary style
CLose to everything and the Priceline price was way better than any of the local hotels.Location, it is close to all of the shopping and malls.
Sleeping is HORRIBLE. ALL NIGHT LONG YOU HEAR SIRENS, FIRE TRUCKS, AMBULANCES, CARS HONKING,, HORRIBLE
The hotel is in a good location only for shopping. Sleeping is horrible, you will not get a good sleep based on NOISE at night, You hear all of the sirens, police sirens, cars honking, and all of the traffic. Buyer Beware..... You are WarnedPerfect location. Accomodating staff. Quiet area of the hotal. Wi-fi. Good housekeeping- left a nice note after a very moderate tip. Fridge in room.
A noisy room next door can be distracting but that was just one Friday night. The $3 12oz plastic bottles of water were a bit amusing, but a nearby Target took care of that ($1 for a gallon).
It's 3 star, clean and stately, but the rooms are not especially large, but have everything needed. Wi-fi worked perfectly. Would stay again for sure.Close to parking, on sight food and bar, open and clean lobby. Walking distance to down town, and the room was clean.
Poor neighborhood, worse after dark. Room was small,no counter space in bathroom. Bad Bathroom layout and fixtures. Shower head is not modern, like Delta H2O Kinetic. Low flow but still a great shower experience Toilet was old and also a water waster.
I would stay again, but if the price was not less than many others I have used in SF, I might make a different choice. If they would improve their bathroom fixtures and be more aware of sustainable issues and the fact that some modern choices save water without sacrificing their customers experience, That would make a difference to me. I would not recommend for a single lady that would need to walk from that location to others, after dark.The room was small but very clean and comfortable. It provided everything we needed
The light was out on the Hotel Sign and we had a hard time finding the palce
Restaurant downstairs was nice, bed in room was very comfortable.
VERY noisy if the windows are open because of seemingly all night long trash pick-up. Mind you this may only happen if you are facing away from Mission st. No a/c but I guess that is pretty common for the area...maybe?
Pillows were down, beds very comfortable
Staff, Location and accomodations were perfect for the Fancy Food show I attended at Mascone Center.The central location was very convenient.
The rooms are claustrophobic small.
The age of this hotel certainly shows, although I'm very happy they put new windows in during the last remodel; the city sounds would have been even louder otherwise.

Dwarf banksias put on a stunning flower show from as early as April through winter to August. These small but perfectly formed plants are charming and a great asset in a small garden. There are now many low-growing varieties of banksia available, including 'Birthday Candles' (18cm high), 'Coastal Cushion' (50cm high) and 'Honey Pots' (60cm high).
They make a cushion of growth in a garden or pot and send up small flowers particularly during autumn and winter. For success, these low growers need excellent drainage so all do well in sandy soils. Where soil drainage is a problem, try them in raised beds or a rockery situation.
Find these and other dwarf banksias at specialist native nurseries.
Want more? Check out: Plant guide: Banksias.
i have a dwarf banksia which i planted 5 years ago.it never fails to please me with beautiful flowers and lovely foliage all year round.

Fever Tree
Fever Tree
A minor, if reasonably interesting, late-'60s psychedelic group, Houston's Fever Tree is most famous for their single "San Francisco Girls," with its dramatic melody, utopian lyrics, and searing fuzz guitar. Most of their best material, ironically, was written by their over-30 husband-wife production team, Scott and Vivian Holtzman, who had previously written material for Tex Ritter and the Mary Poppins soundtrack. These odd bedfellows produced some fairly distinctive material with more classical/Baroque influences and orchestral string arrangements than were usually found in psychedelic groups. Their pretty, wistful ballads (enhanced on their first album by arranger David Angel, who had also worked on Love's classic Forever Changes) endure better than their dirge-like fuzz grinders, which epitomize some of the more generic aspects of heavy psychedelia. Releasing four albums (the third of which, Creation, included guest guitar by future ZZ Top axeman Billy Gibbons), their records grew weaker and more meandering with time, and the group disbanded in 1970. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi

RachelBy Shira SchoenbergThe biblical matriarch Rachel was the wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. Information about Rachel is found in Genesis chapters 29-35. Rachel was the second daughter of Laban, Rebekahs brother. Rachel lived in Haran and worked as a shepherdess. She is described as "shapely and beautiful" (Genesis 29:17). Jacob ran to Haran to escape from his brother Esau. He reached a well and asked some shepherds there if they knew Laban. They answered that Labans daughter Rachel was approaching at that moment. Jacob kissed Rachel and told her that he was Rebekahs son, and Rachels relative. She invited him to her house, and he began to work for Laban. After a month, Laban asked Jacob what his wages were to be. By then, Jacob loved Rachel and answered that he would work seven years to marry Rachel. After Jacob fulfilled his commitment, Laban made a feast at which he was to give his daughter to Jacob, but instead of giving him Rachel, Laban gave Jacob his oldest daughter, Leah. Jacob confronted Laban, who agreed to give him Rachel one week later, provided Jacob would work for him an additional seven years. Jacob agreed, and married Rachel whom he loved more than Leah. Leah quickly gave birth to four sons, while Rachel was barren. Rachel became jealous of her sister. She then gave Jacob her maid Bilhah as a concubine. When Bilhah gave birth to two sons, Dan and Naphtali, Rachel saw them as her own children. After Leah had seven children, Rachel finally conceived. She named her son Joseph, noting that God "has taken away (in Hebrew asaph) my disgrace" and praying that God would "add (yoseph) another son for me" (Genesis 30:23,24). After Joseph was born, Jacob told Rachel and Leah that God had commanded him to return to his homeland of Canaan. They responded that he should do what God told him and they would follow. Jacob prepared to leave and, while Laban was out shearing sheep, Rachel stole Labans idols without Jacobs knowledge. It is not written explicitly why she stole them. Some commentators say it was to prevent Laban from worshipping idols, while others say that the idols actually had some magical power and Rachel did not want them revealing to Laban the way that Jacob traveled. Jacob did not tell Laban that he was leaving. When, three days later, Laban discovered that Jacob was gone and chased after him, he blamed Jacob for stealing his idols. Laban searched the tents of Jacob and his wives, but Rachel hid the idols in a camel cushion and Laban could not find them. Laban left the next morning and Rachel continued to travel with Jacob. The next time Rachel is mentioned is when Jacob met with his estranged brother Esau. Jacob formed a receiving line of his wives and children, putting Rachel and Joseph last, so they could escape if necessary. They traveled to Beth-El and from there began a journey to Ephrath. Rachel was pregnant again and, on the way, suffered a hard labor and died in childbirth. In her last breath, she named her son Ben-oni ("son of my suffering") but Jacob called the child Benjamin ("son of the right hand" or "son of the south"). Jacob buried Rachel on the road where she died and set up a monument. Early descriptions of the tomb claim that it consisted of 11 stones placed by Jacobs sons and one bigger stone placed by Jacob himself. According to Midrash, Jacob buried Rachel on the road so that the Jews would pass her grave as they traveled into exile and she would be able to pray for them. This is supported by the words of the prophet Jeremiah who wrote, at the start of the Babylonian exile, "A cry is heard in RamahģRachel weeping for her children" (Jeremiah 31:15).
There is some controversy over where exactly the tomb of Rachel is located. According to Genesis, she was buried "on the road to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem" (Genesis 35:19). Samuel I writes that she was buried in the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin (Samuel I 10:2), a statement that is contradictory to the description in Genesis. The tomb is now generally assumed to be in a spot near Bethlehem, and is covered by a structure built by Sir Moses Montefiore in 1841. During the Jordanian occupation, the area around the tomb was a Muslim cemetery. After the Six-Day War, the structure around the tomb was renovated and it has become a place of mass pilgrimage for Jews. Jews visit it year-round, but specifically on Rosh Chodesh (the new moon and the first of the Hebrew month), the month of Elul and the anniversary of Rachels death on the 14th of Heshvan.

Nice Guys Or Bad Boys
Nice Guys or Bad Boys? Find out why good girls love bad boys. Tips on attracting a nice guy. Don't pass up a perfectly nice guy and go for the bad boy instead!
Women say they want a nice guy, but do they mean it? It seems that too often women pass up a perfectly good guy and go for the bad boy You're about to spend the most useful 5 minutes you've ever spent on improving your future love life.
There's something I want you to do that I KNOW will improve your natural ability to read into a man's behavior and his mind. And learning to do this homework could mean the difference between being HAPPY & IN-LOVE or LONELY & SINGLE.
Nice Guys or Bad Boys
Did you see the final Sex and the City episode where
Carrie went to Paris with her lover?
Carrie's in Paris with her boyfriend and begins
to wonder if she made the right decision to move away
with this man who, deep down inside, she knows doesn't
want the same type of life and relationship she does.
As she makes this realization, her ex, "Big",
has flown to Paris from New York looking to reconcile
with his lost love after realizing his undying love
for Carrie. And of course, as with all good TV, the two find
each other by luck and fate, and Big finally professes
his love. Talk about romantic, intense, suspenseful and full
of great drama!
Ok, I thought that might do the trick to warm you
back up.
So what does the story of Carrie's love life have to
do with YOUR love life? More than you might think - but we'll get to that.
That's why this week I'm giving you a short homework
assignment - and this is what could be the most valuable
5 minutes you'll ever spend on your love life:
I need you to think about one of the first things
I recognized about women way back in junior high -
it's something I still see it today in our "grown-up"
dating world. Why don't women pick the right guys? Or even more to the point - why do women pick all
the wrong guys?
If you've had your heart broken, been cheated on,
or find yourself giving everything you've got inside,
to get little or nothing in return, then you know what
I'm talking about.
****Right Now****
Take 5 minutes of time to yourself. Tune the rest of the world out for just these 5 minutes. Now, think about each of these questions for a minute
or two each:
1. What is it about "bad boys" or men that aren't
"available" that is attractive to women? And to you?
2. Have you ever dated a guy even though you knew
he was a "bad boy" - or found out soon into things?
3. Is there a "nice guy" in your life who would make a
great companion but you're not attracted to or share a
"connection" with?
Don't cheat yourself... Stop, go back, make sure you take at least 5
minutes of time and think about just these questions...
(Trust me - it's AMAZING what you can actually learn
about the world and yourself if you take a few minutes
of silence to think just about ONE THING at a time. It's
maybe the BEST thing I ever started doing for myself!)
I'll give you some more time...
k, so you've thought about it. Let's share our
thoughts and compare notes.
*As a quick inside reminder: This exercise is all about actively improving
your ability to know what a good man looks like
for YOU and to help you pick ONLY the right men now
and in the future. Picking the wrong men can get you in all kinds of
painful trouble it's hard to get free of.
But for some reason, women don't want the guys who
are probably better relationship and love companions. I'm not going to give you ALL the answers right now,
but I'm going to lead you to finding the answers for
yourself - as it's a much more effective way of learning.
So.... I'm gonna address the last question first
about "nice guys".
A friend of mine sent me an article that was on AOL
entitled "What's Wrong With Nice Guys?". Here's a little
quote from the article:
"...Do Women Date Naughty Guys but Marry Nice Ones?"
This notion sounds an awful lot like the irritating
good-girl/bad-girl distinction that men continue to
make. Still, it does contain a nugget of sense. Since
women truly are conditioned to be "good girls," sometimes
we feel uncomfortable with or guilty about that pure
burning "I must have him!" feeling. That's why we
sometimes seek out a bad boy to serve as the object
of these desires, says Cleveland psychotherapist
Belleruth Naparstek, creator of the Health Journeys
series of guided imagery tapes. "In order for the
deliciousness of pure lust to be 'okay,' it has to be
for the symbolic bad boy who has nothing to do with
the rest of your life. With him, you can crank up your
animal impulses, worry-free," she says...
Interesting, huh?
My friend who sent it to me disagrees with the
idea that women seek out "bad boys" because they
need somewhere to project their guilty lust, and I agree. I disagree that there's something "wrong" with
the fact that women are attracted to "bad boys"... My friend also made the point that the "mainstream"
psychology and behavior world is starting to accept
the idea that women are attracted to "bad boys".
There's something to the idea that woman don't
feel that powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for "nice guys"
who chase after them, dote on them and kiss up to them. A woman might LIKE the experience of the "nice guy"
doing nice things, but it doesn't CREATE attraction
or a connection with the woman. Ever.
Trust me, I know men who are the "nice guy" all
the time and they get so frustrated trying so hard
to please a woman and get her interested. But it's like trying to chew bubble gum to solve
calculus problems... It's hopeless. And wouldn't you know it - it works the same
way for "nice women". Being a "nice girl" can't
"convince" a guy to like you just because you do
sweet things...
It just doesn't work like that.
I've had women be the "nice girl" with me in the
past. There's two women I can remember from acting
overly nice and sweet to try and attract me. Any attraction that was there started falling away. THE TRUTH of the matter is - kissing up, convincing
and being too "sweet" can kill attraction.
Our subconscious reacts in ways you often can't
control and aren't very aware of. Being too "nice" sends a signal to the "deep"
part of the mind that tells you "this person isn't
desirable and is lower status". I know, this might sound kind of dark, power-hungry
or weird to you, but it's what happens with us humans.
People don't value what they can have too easily,
whether they admit it or not. Ultimately, when women are around "nice guys",
they end up unconsciously thinking, "This man isn't
desirable, I shouldn't date or pursue this guy".
(Ok, there can be another reason, but I won't
disuss it here but it has to do with people who
develop the "nice" persona due to what they feel
they personally lack, and thus "nice" people are
self-selecting and are actually and less confident
and less attractive.)
In the nice guys defense - they might actually
have something better to offer a woman in terms of
what she SAYS she wants (love, trust, companionship,
passion), but the women aren't able to see it - or
see it as something they want.
Why? Women don't develop a connection to the nice guy
and the "connection" is the MAGIC ingredient for
attraction with most women.
Which leads us to the "bad boy"!
You might not agree with me, but women DO feel
that magical emotion called ATTRACTION for "bad boys". Of course, I don't believe that men have to be
jerks, or abuse women in order to make them feel
attracted to them. But women have a deep attraction mechanism that's
triggered by men who behave indifferent, superior,
cocky, the list goes of "bad" behavior. You've seen it.
"Bad boys" often create inviting and intoxicating
forms of drama - often perceived as playfulness,
sexuality and fun. When I first talk to women about the bad boy
subject, they jump ALL OVER me and completely disagree. Then I ask them about some of the relationships
they've had in the past.
And guess what? Most women realize in the course of the conversation
that they've dated men they knew fit the "bad boy"
profile. What makes me laugh is that the realization makes
them argue with me even more!
So why do women date and continue on with "bad boys"? The answer to this question when I ask it to
women is almost UNIVERSAL. "We had a great connection". Some women call it "chemistry". The magic of a connection with a man can be
extremely powerful. Often powerful enough to undo
all sorts of reasoning abilities and ways of perceiving
Women picking and staying with the wrong men is
the single biggest mistake I see women make. It's the
most common reason why the thousands of women I hear
from can't find the love and fulfillment they're
looking for.
But there's help...
I talk about these and other concepts in detail in
my eBook, "Catch Him And Keep Him". You can get your
hands on a copy of Catch Him And Keep Him at my website
and be reading it in just a few minutes from now. Plus, you can get it at what is at my risk-
Why don't you try the book for a week so you can
decide if you want to keep it?
If you don't like it, just let me know and I'll refund
all your money immediately.
Honestly, I think you could learn more in a few hours
reading the book than most women might learn in their whole
LIVES about how to meet and attract men the right
men AND what the specific steps are to develop an amazing
relationship he won't ever want to come to an end.

The carrot vs. the stick in work team motivation
This paper reports on the use of carrot (positive) and stick (negative) incentives as methods of increasing effort among members of work teams. We study teams of four members in a laboratory environment in which giving effort towards the team goal is simulated by eliciting voluntary contributions towards the provision of a public good. We test the efficiency improving properties of four distinct environments: monetary prizes given to high contributors versus monetary fines assessed to low contributors, where high/low contributor is defined first in terms of absolute contributions and then in terms of contributions relative to abilities—which we call handicapping. Our results show that both carrot and stick increase efficiency levels by 11-29%. We find that handicapped incentives promise the highest efficiency levels, and when handicapping is not used certain types of penalties may be more effective than prizes. The implications for work teams and suggestions for practical implementation are discussed.Download Info
