Art Van, Gardner White, or somewhere else.
Wife wants a new sectional couch, shes tired of the "hand me down crap". I say there is better things to spend $2000 on but she has a pretty good barganing chip if you know what I mean.

We have a sectional from Art Van in our living room and a couch from Ethan Allen in our den. Both are nice but the Ethan Allen one is noticeably nicer, but like others have said, you get what you pay for.
We also have a custom made couch in our family room that my wife had made up when we were still in our apartment. It's much nicer than either of the other couches we have and seems to be about 100x more solid and was actually surprisingly inexpensive. That may be a route to look into as well. |

My couch and love seat we bought at Art Vans. They "look" really nice and expensive, but that is because I'm sure we over paid |

My wife and I bought the majority of our furniture at Art Van last March when we got our house. I've been happy with all of it, though my wife may end up hating the couch since I fall asleep on it all the time and don't pay any attention to her. I have zero complaints with the furniture, just gotta deal with the super pushy sales people when you go there to look at stuff.
Since you're not far from Howell, also check out TenPenny Furniture on Grand River, they have some decent stuff for decent prices too. I got some of our tables there. Might be worth a shot since every place has different stuff to choose from |

Actually we went to Value City and purchased a leather sectional with one power recliner. It has held up very well for two years with normal kid abuse to it. We have bought a couple things from Value City and they have been ok.

Titles are over rated
We just got this one from Gardner White. We've had the matching couch and chairs for 2 years, got a bigger place, so we added the sectional. No reclining area, or bed, but I wasn't spending 2K either. This was a great deal for $500.

In the cyberworld, Web customization is king--just as the millions of user-centric YouTube videos and MySpace Web pages attest. It's little wonder, then, that avatars, digital representations of you, are growing in function and form.
This collection of downloadable and Web-based avatar generators ranges from the more cartoon-like engines to three-dimensional architectures where users give life to their pint-size replicates. Be sure to tune into the video and photo gallery on my adventures with avatars, with CNET News.com's Neha Tiwari, for a personal take on the highlights and lowlights of some popular avatar builders.… Read more
Yahoo has issued a critical security patch for Messenger to address zero-day exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities in its Webcam ActiveX controls.
The exploits to instant messaging surfaced Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the vulnerabilities were first reported to Yahoo by eEye Digital Security.
People could find their systems at risk if they visit malicious Web sites or view other malicious HTML code. The attackers could then exploit security flaws in the Yahoo Webcam ActiveX control, a software package that is downloaded with Messenger.… Read more
Updates to AOL Mail are set to make the service nimbler and more innovative, with unlimited storage and built-in chatting set for the coming weeks. I like what I've seen so far. A chatting pane will appear within the screen to display contacts from Mail and AIM, which remains the world's most popular instant messaging service.
Embedded RSS feeds, attachment search capabilities, as well as POP and IMAP compatibility are also in the works. By the end of the year, AOL plans to add integration with mapping, videos, and its xDrive online storage service.

Editor's note: This is Part Two of a two-part series on multinetwork IM clients. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about all-in-one desktop chatting.
All-in-one IM clients have much to offer the instant messaging butterfly. They organize your contacts from multiple networks while enabling customizations, plug-in support, and familiar emoticons. However, desktop chatting isn't always the best solution for the jet-set crowd.
Users who work off multiple computers and tire of downloading déjà vu could opt for browser-based chat, while the handheld-dependent might prefer a sturdy third-party IM client to replace a weak, nonnative browser or the single-network IM most compatible with their device (for instance, Pocket MSN for Windows Mobile users,).… Read more
This nearly slipped by our radar last week, but in the latest build of the upcoming chat client Trillian Astra, Cerulean Studios has snuck in desktop versions of its widgets. Users can now place widgets in their Trillian buddy list or right on their desktop, similar to what you'd get with the Yahoo Widget engine, or other desktop widget tools. Users are also able to send them between the buddy list and desktop via right clicking, or they can simply drag and drop.
For now there are just five sample widgets, but assuming Cerulean Studios opens things up a bit, or goes with universal widget coding, Trillian users could get what is typically two applications in one, along with a wide array of desktop widgets.
Customizing the widgets is a little harder than it should be, as you can't just configure each one once it's on your desktop. Everything is handled through a preferences menu, although I'm assuming this will be changed as the application gets closer to release. Some sample widgets do look neat; the weather widget in particular is easy to read and fully animated. And the world-time widget shows when the sun is hitting your current location, which is totally nerd eye-candy.
Similar to other widget tools, Astra has a hot key that let users pull up all the running widgets at the same time. Pressing the Windows key and space bar accomplishes this easily, although it doesn't have nearly the same effect you get with OS X's Dashboard widget.
I wouldn't recommend you ditch your current widget engine just yet, since this is a brand-new feature on an application that's still in private alpha. I am, however, excited to see if this feature will be integrated into the forthcoming browser-free version of the app.
For more shots of the new widget runtime environment, keep reading.… Read more
A new phishing scam is circulating through Yahoo IM lists, sending emoticon-laden links to contacts on an infected account. Indeed, CNET's own Yahoo Messenger users have not been immune.
The link reads as a Geocities.com URL, but spoofs a Web page advertising Yahoo 360, a social-networking service.
Phishing schemes simulate legitimate Web sites to trap users into giving up their account information. With that information harvested, security fraudsters can sell your passcodes or exploit them directly by breaking into your bank or personal account. From there, the possibilities for fraud are varied.
While many phishing schemes are poor approximations of the real deal, with sketchy graphics and spelling and grammar errors, this Yahoo 360 spoof is more believable.… Read more
Pantech just announced the IM-R200, a slider phone that comes with two LCDs--one is the primary display, and the other is an OLED touch-sensitive screen that acts as the phone's keypad. In order to provide tactile feedback, the touch pad has microvibrations to let you know when a key has been pressed. The reasoning behind the virtual keypad is that the phone has separate virtual interfaces for different functions, such as for the camera or the music player. For example, when you activate the music player, the interface of the touch pad changes to a list of songs and … Read more
Yahoo Messenger is a great, free tool for keeping in touch with your friends, but what if you only want a few of your contacts to know you're available to chat? Tom Merritt has your fix with a Quick Tip about Stealth Settings in Yahoo Messenger.
The free instant-messaging client Gaim (GDK+ AOL Instant Messenger) has become popular in recent years because of its ability to connect with a wide range of IM networks (Yahoo, MSN, IRC, Jabber/Google Talk/XMPP, AIM, ICQ, Gadu-Gadu, and others) and its extensibility in the form of user-created plug-ins.
The name Gaim came about due to complaints from AOL about the name GDK+ AOL Instant Messenger. However, as AOL Instant Messenger became more popular, AOL trademarked the acronym "AIM," leading to further legal struggles with the Gaim developers. After a series of negotations, the developers agreed to change the name of the 2.0 version of Gaim to Pidgin, based on the word for simplified speech between people who do not share a common language.
The big change in Pidgin 2.0 is the new look. The interface has been redesigned, with the option to view your Buddy List in Basic or Advanced view. Important facets like plug-ins and status availability have been broken out of the Preferences dialog and into areas of their own. Plug-ins have their own dialog available from the Tools menu, and status is now set by a drop-down menu at the bottom of your buddy list.… Read more

DANIELS, W.Va. - There can be a level of relaxation on the back nine of professional tour pre-qualifiers.
Despite there being only 50 spots available out of 105 players in the Greenbrier Classic Pre-Qualifier on Thursday, former Coastal Carolina University player Daniel Obremski didn't worry.
And so it was on Thursday at Glade Springs, where Obremski opted to take it easy down the stretch and earned a spot in the Monday Open Qualifier back on the Cobb Course.
He said - tongue-in-cheek - he was saving his best shots for Monday.
"Today was definitely different," said Obremski, who finished sixth at the Frank B. Fuhrer Invitational on Wednesday, earning him $5,400. "When I was at 2-under, I didn't feel like I needed to get to 3 or 4. Monday, if I'm at 2, I need to get to 6. I'm hitting different shots on holes because, even my finish, I just kind of limped in."
Obremski shot a 2-over 74 following a bogey on No. 18, hitting the cut line, which dropped one stroke when the final two players off the course - Ryan Zylstra and Fielding Brewbaker - finished at 68.
Like many of the players in Thursday's event, Obremski is looking for that touch of magic on Monday that leads to a spot in the Greenbrier Classic July 4-7 at the Old White TPC.
Also like many of the other players, Obremski feels he's good enough to accomplish the feat.
Obremski has been a professional for less than two years, yet already has a victory - on March 1, 2012 on the Golfslinger.com Tour. He has had five top 10 finishes on the Golfslinger circuit and was medalist in the U.S. Open local qualifier last year.
The Pittsburgh native graduated with a degree in exercise science from Coastal Carolina one year after using up his eligibility.
"I played a little bit of professional events, but I didn't hardly have any money," he said. "I worked most of the winter, training athletes for speed and agility.
"I went to Golfslinger, not putting out as much money, me just being smart with my money. In reality, it's actually expensive. I'm better off playing money games around town, working on my game, rather than put all my money into a series of events. It's a process and I have to learn as I go."


text: South Korea is playing a risky game as it has given the permission for using human eggs in cloning research despite a high level scandal in their country which involved one of their top scientists admitting to his involvement in doctored research work. Hwang Woo-suk was the scientist who had claimed that he had cloned human embryos and extracted stem cells from them but it was found out that all his claims were false. What raised eyes were when eggs required for research were donated by a female scientist in his team and this questioned the ethics of such practice. This shameful incident caused Hwang Woo-suk to resign from his post at the Seoul National University and is now facing trial for misappropriation of government funds. In order to get over the shameful act the government has again given a go ahead to use of human eggs in cloning but this time with an act of caution and under a new set of guidelines has asked that researchers should only use eggs which are to be destroyed after fertility treatments or from other legal ways and a prior license would have to be obtained from the government for undertaking research. It seems this time South Korea wants to take no chances. Via theage

Phil Shepherd of the Eucatastrophe dropped me a note today to let me know the podcast was up from our Tuesday mega pub night over in Ft Worth. Steve Knight (our guest for the evening) and Phil lead conversation about the participatory church, a church whose DNA structure is changed constantly by the people who pass through and participate in it. Later on, they get into some questions about the emergent/emerging church and other things. Click the link below and enjoy. (Look for the audio link at the bottom of the post.)

108 people @ the pub
Before our big pub night, Dr. Mike Graves, preaching professor at St Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, challenged us to look at the gospel of Luke as being about one thing – "unhindered". Don't hinder the good news. Don't hinder love being shared. Don't hinder real authentic community being formed. Don't hinder the movement of the spirit.
Hours later, nothing hindered 108 folks from gathering in the upstairs room at the Flying Saucer to talk faith, church, hope, and future.
I give special thanks to our partners, the Eucatastrophe and the Search, for co-hosting and getting the word out. I also am thankful for my friend, Steve Knight, sharing some of his story and thoughts to spur our conversation. I am especially thankful for everyone who came out, from seminary professors to new friends, wanderers to truth tellers, and all spaces in between.
Meeting in a pub for events like this is not a gimmick. All we attempt to do is create the kind of space that we have come to know by being in the presence of God. There is no judgment, but there is a lot of laughter. There are no easy answers, but there are tons of good questions. There are no hurt feelings… just acceptance. If that appeals to you, join us on one of our regular pub nights, every Tuesday, 7:30 pm. See you soon!

mega pub night!
I'm excited to share about our big pub night with the Search and the Euc on February 7, 8:30-10:30 PM, over in Ft Worth. We'll hear from a friend and fellow missional church guy, Steve Knight, enjoy some great food and beverages, and have a fun time. Steve just did a whole series on Participatory church, using some of the lingo from social networking to wonder how our faith communities might change and adapt to use these kinds of ways of thinking in our worship and work. He'll share some of that and then open up the conversation for questions and ideas from the crowd. As always, the event is going to be informal and open to people from all varieties of spirituality.
You can RSVP on Facebook today.
BTW, the Search will be hosting worship that evening as part of the Wells Lecture series, so you can head over for worship at 7 PM and then join us for the pub night at the Flying Saucer.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
The departing president of Missouri Southern State University, Bruce Speck, will receive the equivalent of a year's salary as well as housing and health care benefits through the end of the year.
That's according to an agreement that settles the terms of the termination of his contract. That agreement was approved today by the MSSU Board of Governors.
According to the agreement, which has also been signed by Speck, the university will pay Speck:
• All contract benefits through the end of this month.
• Twelve monthly installments, beginning in July, equaling $185,400, which is the amount of his annual salary.
• His health coverage through December.
• A monthly housing allowance of $3,333.33 through December.
• About $14,300, which represents 160 hours of accrued vacation pay.
The board last week voted unanimously to terminate Speck's contract as president, which was to extend to June 30, 2015.
The reasons for the action were again not divulged by the board Wednesday.

Firefighters say they arrived on the scene of a house fire to find two people trying to put it out with garden hoses.
The Baker Fire Department said the fire sparked under the carport at a home on McHugh Road in Baker Tuesday morning.
Assistant Fire Chief John "Bubba" Champagne reported firemen were able to put out the fire in about 15 minutes. He added it is believed the fire started in a garbage can under the carport.
A woman renting the home who was inside when the fire started made it out safely. There were no injuries reported.
The American Red Cross also responded to the scene.

Product Details
Inspired by vintage hunting gear, with a focus on timeless fabrics and a made-to-last construction in rugged waxed cotton canvas. The shape is modeled after traditional packs, so it's both functional and tough. We designed it with an easy collar stud closure, meaning it can be opened and closed without fastening buckles (we thought this one through). It's also equipped with a ton of pockets, both in the interior and on the exterior.

The Detroit Tigers punished Boston Red Sox pitching in a 10-0 victory, starting the season 2-0. Duane Below picked up the win in relief. The Tigers' MVP candidate duo, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, each took Red Sox starter Josh Beckett deep, both drilling 2 home runs.
Alex Avila also went yard for the Tigers, taking a Beckett's two-strike pitch deep over the fence in left in the fifth. Avila is rapidly putting the "one year wonder" talk seen in many season previews behind him.
The middle of the Tigers' order was in beast mode against the Red Sox, 3-4-5-6-7 hitters combining for nine hits, seven RBI, eight runs, five home runs, and forcing Beckett to walk the walk of shame in the fifth. Avila, Delmon Young and Andy Dirks all chimed in with multi-hit games.
By tossing 2 1/3 innings of one-hit shutout relief, Below received credit his first major league victory. WXYZ-TV reporter Brad Galli tweeted how the Tigers' pitchers commemorated Below's accomplishment:
Tigers pitchers all doused Duane Below with beer in the clubhouse for his first major league win. Below: "That was pretty refreshing."
But it was not all unicorns, rainbows and beer showers at Comerica Park.
Starting pitcher Doug Fister was very effective through 3 2/3 innings, allowing three hits whille striking out three. But he was forced to leave the game in the foruth due to injury. It appeared Fister grabbed his left side on his first pitch to Ryan Sweeney. After running the count to 2-0, trainer Kevin Rand and Jim Leyland rushed out to the mound, and quickly ended Fister's afternoon.
We learned after the game that Fister has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, with RHP Brayan Villarreal being recalled from Toledo. (Kurt has a story here.)
Injuries are a part of baseball, all teams have to overcome them. But if a pitcher is to go down to injury, April isn't the worst time for it to happen. There are more days off scheduled than usual, and the Tigers don't even need a 5th starter until April 12. Let's just call Fister's DL stint a speed bump.
I'm sure Fister would agree, the Tigers starting the season 2-0, especially against the Red Sox, works as a salve for any injury.
3 Roars For Game 2:
Below, who was supposed to start the season with the Mud Hens, stepped up in a big way after Fister's injury.
Austin Jackson reached base 3 times. As goes Jackson, so goes the Tigers' offense.
Cabrera shook off his opening day misadventures at 3rd base, robbing Jarrod Saltalamacchia of a single with a diving stab in the 5th. Cabrera easily handled everything the Red Sox sent his way.
3 hisses for game 2:
Without question, Doug Fister's injury. HISSSSSSS
After going deep twice, Red Sox reliever Matt Albers plunked Fielder in the ankle with a high 90's fastball in the 7th. Fielder was OK, but Tigers fans had their heart in their throats for a few seconds.
Brennan Boesch was 0-5 on the afternoon.
Tomorrow the Tigers go for a sweep of the Red Sox, as Max Scherzer takes the mound against Clay Buchholz. Even though it will only be game 3, what are the odds we'll see one of Lelyand's infamous Sunday lineups?

Sun, Sand and Friends
Last week at this time we were winding down from a week at the beach. It was quite a fun week. We went to the beach and I had fun watching Hannah jump over waves and draw pictures in the sand with her feet. I was reminded of the special bond between Hannah and Dylan and am so thankful for both of them. They both are incredible people that have their own separate path in life, but when they connect, I see a beautiful bond.
While staying at the condo, Hannah was making friends any moment she could and we met a wonderful family that was on vacation from Atlanta. Hannah connected immediately with the oldest daughter and they played together every moment they could. I am so amazed at how much Hannah came along in her swimming while we were there. When we arrived, she had a hard time getting her body far enough under water so she could dive or do an underwater handstand. By the time we left, she was doing an incredible handstand underwater and I know it was due to her watching her new friends swim and play.
I wish I had some pictures of some of things that Dylan was able to do. He enjoyed playing golf with my dad and my brother and from what I hear, he had a fabulous time and can't wait to do it again. I'm really happy that Dylan is able to pursue the things that make him happy and that he can do so well. Thanks to my dad and brother for supporting him in his love of golf!
We were able to spend some time at a shopping area called Broadway at the Beach. There are a few rides there that Hannah likes to ride each time we go and was affectionately calling it the 'circus'. Not quite a circus, but hey, it works for me She rode the teacups and the whales (all electronic, I assure you) and the moved on to the fountain in the center of the shopping area. She LOVED it! She jumped in there, dress and all and had a blast. In fact, we went back a few days later and were more prepared with bathing suit and all and she was a bit more timid. She said she liked it better with the dress on.
We were able to spend lots of time with family, which I love…it's good to connect with those that have known you your whole life and to hope those connections will last, even if you do go on separate paths in your life. The love is still there and will always be…this is something that I hope they know. My parents, brother and sister-in-love, aunt and uncle…they ALL are a blessing to me.
Hannah and I spent a few hours going back to the 'circus', but it was a bit hot, so we ended up going into a wonderful store, called Yours and Mayan and we were able to buy these scarves in honor of my friend, Lauren. It was fun just hanging out with my daughter. She is a gem.
So we ended our time just playing together in the pool and with all the other families gone, we had the pool to ourselves for most of the day. Hannah was able to swim as much as she wanted and we had lots of joyful moments together. I am so thankful for moments such as these and would not trade them for any amount of money you could offer me. These moments are priceless.

Microsoft has brought Office 365 -- excuse me, Office Mobile for Office 365 subscribers -- to the iPhone, allowing anyone up-to-date with their fees to view and lightly edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint docs on the go. Support is offered for charts, animations, SmartArt graphics, and shapes, and Microsoft claims that you don't lose any formatting when you edit on your iPhone.
More →
After countless rumors, Microsoft Office is once again said to be on its way to the iPhone and iPad (and Android). Office for iOS will reportedly consist of separate apps for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and will require a Microsoft account to use. The basic Office apps will allow users to view their documents, but an Office 365 subscription will be required for editing.
Back in November, The Daily claimed that Microsoft was working on a version of its hugely popular "Office" application for the iPad. It has now followed up its original story with a picture of Office running on the iPad and the notion that it is now complete and very close to being submitted to Apple for approval.
CloudOn, a free iPad app that offered Microsoft Office functionality with Dropbox support, appeared briefly in the App Store yesterday before going up in a puff of smoke a short time later.
CloudOn has responded saying their app has "sold out", but we think this may have had something to do with server overload.
Thanks for your support of CloudOn! We're currently sold out. We look forward to the feedback we will receive as we continue to support the many users that have registered in this first phase.
It seems Google has slipped in some improvement for document viewing via iPhone and iPad (and Android). For quite a while, the only documents that really played nice (at least for me), were spreadsheets. You can now go to docs.google.com on your Android or iOS device and view formats such as .xls, .pdf, .ppt, .doc, and .docx. I didn't see anything about .pptx though, I guess we'll have to wait and see on that one. If they're supporting .docx, not supporting the newer Powerpoint format doesn't really make sense to me.
The only glitch I seemed to find is that Word documents aren't that pretty. Some of my old accounting Word attachments were formatted pretty bad. I checked them on the computer and it wasn't the actual document. That may be something that needs a tweak on Google's end.
Here's a quick tip for iPhone users as well. What I actually do is open the Google Mobile App and click Google Docs, it'll automatically route you to the docs.google.com page in Safari. So you can go that route as well.
Hit the jump for some screens!
We just finished having a sit down with the fine folks from DocsToGo and they shared some exciting news about DocsToGo Premium: Desktop Sync and Google Sync are en route! They expect they'll be submitting the app to the Apple in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for the release. DocsToGo is currently $14.99 in the App Store.
Document Sync with the desktop works just like you would expect it to: plug in and Sync. What's more exciting for me (and for cloud-lovers everywhere) is that you'll be able to sync with all the documents you've stored up at Google Docs. It's a full sync client - meaning that you can download and edit documents offline and then sync them up with Google Docs later. Another thing worth noting is that Google recently updated Google Docs to allow you to upload any file - which means you will be able to upload and store PDFs, images, and documents to Google Docs and then access them later with DocsToGo. (Video after the break!)
Otherwise, as it always is with major mobile conferences, the iPhone isn't officially here but unofficially it's everywhere. My completely unscientific method of "hey, what's in people's hands" poll shows that it's slightly edging out Nokia as the most popular phone at Mobile World Congress.
Very reasonably priced and there won't be a need to have a discount for existing customers...
We have been very excited about what DataViz is bringing to the table in their very popular Microsoft Office compatible software. Our Editor-In-Chief when to Mobile World Congress and brought us back some juicy info. How has this changed? What will this version of Documents To Go do? We should find out in a couple of days.
Dieter's on the floor at CTIA, and we're hoping he'll bring back a closer look, but in the meantime the fine folks at QuickOffice have just let us know that their new iPhone app, QuickOffice for iPhone will be available in the next few weeks, and will cost $19.99.
What's that? iPhone news at MWC09? It's true. I just got back from a meeting with DocsToGo and they showed off an early version of their app. So far Word document editing is a go, Spreadsheet editing is definitely in the plan but not quite up and running yet. They're tossing in document viewing for both plus PDFs as well -- which means you can have all of your documents in one spot.
Read on to find out how it all works, where the iPhone kinks are (since Apple limits what developers can do easily), and how we're loving their implementation of (in-app) Cut and Paste!
We've mentioned the original, FREE, MobileFiles application before, which lets you access MobileMe's iDisk via the iPhone. Well, now we've also got MobileFiles Pro and along with the $9.99 price tag comes a killer feature that a lot of productivity mavens have no doubt been waiting for:
EDIT! native Microsoft Excel 2003 documents just as you would on your desktop. Save the edited Excel file on your iPhone, send to your iDisk account remotely, or upload to your desktop using WiFi - all while maintaining perfect data integrity.

Pure White Mulberry Tea (Morus Alba)
Starting at: $11.95
What is White Mulberry Leaf Tea? -
White mulberry leaf tea has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 400 years. White mulberry leaf tea was also widely used in Turkey and Greece and is mentioned in ancient Greek medical texts. Now Dr. Oz is recommending it too. In fact, he just called White Mulberry
"the next health food sensation"
and a
Keep reading to find out why.
What are the health benefits of White Mulberry Leaf Tea (aka. Morus alba Tea)? -
Chinese doctors most often recommend Mulberry leaf tea as a diabetes tea. However, Dr. Oz revealed on his show that white mulberry leaf tea is also great for fighting cholesterol, boosting the immune system and weight loss. Traditional Chinese Medicine also recommends White Mulberry leaf tea for anemia, dry constipation, prematurely graying hair and baldness. It is also commonly consumed as a natural way to counter the symptoms of the common cold or flu including, sore throat, headache and cough.
Why is Mulberry Leaf Tea recommended to Diabetes Sufferers and for Weight Loss? -
Research suggests Mulberry leaf tea may be helpful in managing blood sugar and helping weight loss because mulberry leaves contain a substance called 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) that inhibits some of the stomach enzymes responsible for processing fats and sugars. This results in fewer fats and sugars being absorbed into the blood stream. Dr. Oz recommends drinking mulberry leaf tea with meals to offset that occasional mealtime indulgence.
How can I offer a 100% money back guarantee on my White Mulberry leaf tea? -
I've been selling white mulberry leaf tea on my site for over 10 years. When the Dr. Oz show wanted samples of white mulberry tea for their show, they called me. We grow our mulberry trees on small farms in the highlands of Thailand where the air, water and soil are some of the purest in the world. I work directly with the farmers and insist on natural chemical-free growing methods. We pan dry immediately and then follow with a forced air drying method that preserves the integrity of the tea. Now that Dr. Oz has mentioned white mulberry tea, the internet will be flooded with cheap mulberry teas from China and elsewhere. But I remain confident that I'm selling the best white mulberry leaf tea available anywhere in the world and I'm prepared to back it up with a no-questions-asked money back guarantee.
I'm grateful to Dr. Oz for educating his viewers on the wonders of white mulberry tea. I've been trying to get the word out for over 10 years now, but without his help, chances are you wouldn't be here. I truly believe white mulberry leaf tea can make a huge difference for millions of people. You can make it a part of your life for just pennies a day. It's caffeine free. Order today.

I have had many bowel issues for 2 years with 2 major surgeries. Since my last surgery I have not been able to eat I have been making the mulberry and jiagoulan tea and alternating them mixed with organic mullberry juice and tart cherry. I must have them everyday or I feel the effects of having little energy. I am thankful to find your tea and your company.

I was only drinking Mulberry Tea occasionally until I read more about the qualities of this tea and I now include it with the Jiaogulan tea every day. Sometimes I have it on its own just to enjoy the taste and benefits that way too. Thank you for providing this high quality tea!

This is not a review I want to know if I can drink this tea with my meals?, can I drink too much of the tea where it will hurt me? Like the lady from Pennsylvania I too have diabetes and I saw an article in a magazine and I found your website so now I want to try the tea, and if it does okay with me I would like to be a partner, and sell it to my other friends and family who has dibetes and high cholesterol. Can I let my granddaughter drink the tea too? she is 15 soon to be 16 years old. Thank you, Edith Johnson

Thanks for such a more than reasonable price for the white mulberry tea. And free shipping!! Best bargain in ages! And then there is more.... the personal emails!! Am hoping the product will help a blood sugar problem that was discovered. You might be interested to know how I learned of the product. A year or so ago while shopping at a local health store another patron asked the clerk about the white mulberry tea availability. Of course it was not on the shelf or ever heard of. The woman showed us a newspaper article from another country and unfortunately I do not recall which one. However the article touted the success of negating the serious diabetes in several folks. When I got home I researched the tea, found your website(the older one), put in a folder and now am using it. Often wonder if the lady researched and found you!

Attendees probably spend a lot more time in breakouts than in any other type of session. Yet, most companies neglect these hours, instead devoting their creativity and professionalism to the general sessions. As a result, breakouts are often painfully mediocre.
Think, for a moment, of your attendees, not as employees, partners, or users, but as customers. You want them to "buy" your training. And the experiences in those rooms has everything to do with their satisfaction and future use of your product.
To vastly improve your breakout sessions, you must insist on quality in three areas. Here's what they are and how to do it.
1. Content Rules What you want your customers to learn is at the heart of every breakout. If the data is inaccurate or the message does not support the goal of your event, it is obvious. Once the credibility of the information is suspect, the entire session is discounted.
How to do it: Conduct a content review of each session, with managers and peers as reviewers. At a minimum, ask these crucial questions: Is this right? Where does it fit? Who cares?
Speakers should submit their presentations in first or second draft form. The point is to catch major errors in content and strategy. I recommend electronic submission of presentations, usually in PowerPoint or Freelance Graphics. No overheads, no paper.
All presenters must be part of this process, not just in-house speakers. (I have seen third parties deliver messages completely contrary to their host's strategy.) Many variables affect the schedule for this process--number of speakers, tracks, type of event--but, in general, a content review should be done 8 to 12 weeks before the event.
2. Get the Look Right When it comes to the look, feel, and format of breakout presentations, success means setting standards. A well-designed, easy-to-follow presentation not only creates the best possible impression of the content but your customers will remember more.
How to do it: Creating professional presentations is a demanding, but ultimately worthwhile process. Get a graphics artist to design a presentation background that supports the goal of your event and then mandate its use by every speaker and trainer. And I mean everyone: strategic partners, employees, sponsors, and consultants. No exceptions. None.
Upon submission, review each presentation's graphics. All slides should be clear and readable from the back of the room; icons and acronyms should be consistent across educational tracks, and the handouts legible and complete.
3. Even Fine Silver Needs Polishing Your customers should never be the first to see a presentation. I work with world-class trainers who rehearse before every session. Why is it that amateurs are allowed to get away with an unpolished delivery?
How to do it: Make rehearsals mandatory. Work with your speakers directly, or find a firm that can help, to improve their style, pace, and image. Some trainers will resist, but I promise, in the end, they will be grateful. They will return from their sessions with reports of a new connection with the audience (not to mention better evaluations) because they were practiced and confident.
No Magic There is no magic involved--just extra effort in the right places. If you want to improve your breakouts, insist on high standards in content, presentations, and polish. An investment in your breakouts can transform your event, increasing customer satisfaction and significantly furthering the goals of your company.

Far Hills, N.J. – The United States Golf Association (USGA) announced today that the Southern Nevada Golf Association will adopt the USGA's Golf Handicap and Information Network® (GHIN) for their handicap operations beginning November 15, 2012.
The Southern Nevada Golf Association was founded in 1967 and represents approximately 9,000 golfers, 60 member clubs and 55 golf courses. The association's geographical area of operations includes the city of Las Vegas, one of the top tourism destinations in the country with more than 4 million visitors each month.
"It was important to find the best service to meet the needs of all our stakeholders; from the local golfer and their member club, to the golf course operator," said Eric Yaillen, executive director of the Southern Nevada Golf Association. "Being a destination market, the connection to the members at all the other GHIN associations was an important consideration. But in addition to meeting golfer expectations, we also need to provide our member clubs, golf professionals and our association staff with the best productivity and communication tools presently available."
Developed in 1981 at the request of state and regional golf associations, the USGA's GHIN service is now the largest handicap computation provider in the world, serving more than 2.2 million golfers representing 74 golf associations and 13,000 golf clubs in 44 states, 4 U.S. territories and 4 foreign countries. GHIN is offered exclusively through state and regional golf associations, federations and unions as a service for their member clubs to assist in meeting the policies of the USGA Handicap System™, which enables all golfers to compete on a relatively equal basis.
"The USGA is proud of the increasing recognition and support for GHIN that national and international golf associations are delivering," said Gene McClure, chairman of the USGA's GHIN Committee. "The GHIN service has become a true global handicap and member service provider, and we look forward to continuing to develop and implement innovative services as part of our strong commitment to these associations."

I am a songwriter/singer. Can MercyMe record my song / co-write a song with me / listen to my song and give me their opinion / help me get a record deal / etc?
Unfortunately, MercyMe and their affiliates are not able to accept demos, lyrics, songs or scripts in any form due to copyright issues and legal liabilities.

Central Florida Saves Playoff Hopes |
Colleges - Men's DI College | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Central Florida avenged its loss to Florida State in a big way Saturday, pounding the Seminoles 40-13. The Golden Knights lost 26-22 to FSU Feb. 4th after beating the 'Noles en route to a Florida Cup finals appearance last fall. UCF actually started the South Independent season 0-2, losing to South Florida 13-0 Jan. 28th. The Golden Knights also beat USF in the fall. "It was humbling. We did well in the fall semester, and we basically said to ourselves we're a great team, so on and so forth," said UCF's Jason Ross. "And when we lost to both USF and FSU, it became a big thing, like we have to get our (game) straight, or we're going to have big problems this season." UCF then reeled off three consecutive wins, including one over South Florida. With the win over Florida State, UCF improved to 4-2 and put itself back in the playoff hunt. "We knew when we went into this game we had to win if we wanted to get into the playoffs, said Ross. "If we didn't win, we were going to have to wait and see how we did on the point differential. So we knew we had to win." UCF still has two games left, against Florida International and Florida Atlantic, and USF and FSU still have to play each other. But without a win against the 'Noles, UCF's playoff hopes would have been bleak. The top two teams in the SIRC South will crossover against the top two from the North in a four-team playoff to decide the conference's champion.

Welcome to Spiel, the JC's blog.
The Board and Oxfam - a wholly unnecessary row
Marcus Dysch
Jan 10, 2013So here we are again: the Board of Deputies once more finds itself mired in internal strife - and largely because its elected leaders tried to do the right thing.
We could spend an age debating – not for the first time – whether the Board stumbled into this embarrassing mess through weak leadership, a misunderstanding of its deputies' concerns, its own complex democratic process, or a mixture of all three.
What is clear is that the Grow Tatzmiach joint campaign with Oxfam will help starving people – and that cannot be a bad thing.
150 years of the London Underground
Jennifer Lipman
Jan 7, 2013This week marks the sesquicentenary – or 150th birthday - of the tube.
Yes, even though it sometimes seems like the engineering of the Northern Line predates the battle of Hastings, or that bewildered travellers have been trying to circumnavigate the Circle Line since the time of Columbus, the tube is actually only 15 decades old.
The first journey on what we now know of as London Underground took place on January 9 1863, between Paddington and Farringdon Street on the Metropolitan Line. Historians believe that was the last time there was good service on all London Underground lines.
Beans, not burgers
Simon Rocker
Jan 7, 2013Should the 21st century ideal of kashrut include giving up eating meat altogether? A recent article in the JC has reignited the debate between veggies and fleishniks.
In a letter in this week's JC, Masorti's Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, puts the meat-free case.
"I care deeply about kashrut. I appreciate the importance of shechitah as truly intended — the way to respect animals and cause them the minimum of suffering at their death. Were the right to practise shechitah again in jeopardy in the UK, I would of course join the community in defending it.
Out of touch in Stamford Hill
Simon Rocker
Dec 28, 2012The United Synagogue's decision to allow women to chair synagogues has been largely welcomed but not everyone is applauding.
In the Jewish Tribune, the Stamford Hill- based Charedi weekly, columnist Ben Yitzchok calls it a "most regrettable and major step backwards".
He speculates that it was taken before Chief Rabbi-designate Ephraim Mirvis came to office because Rabbi Mirvis would have "refused to take the halachically objectionable decision, so it was conveniently arranged before his appointment".
The top 10 participants' comments at Limmud
Anna Sheinman
Dec 27, 2012The best thing about Limmud is not the presenters, or the sessions they give, it's the questions the participants ask afterwards, what they say later on in the bar or let slip over breakfast. Here are my favourites so far:
1) Over breakfast: "Did you go to the rebbetzin's disco?"
2) A nine year old at lunch to a YAD with a Jewfro: "But you said we could stick forks in your hair?"
10 things that could only happen at Limmud
Anna Sheinman
Dec 25, 20121. One 20-something girl goes up to a 20-something guy in the cafeteria: "Sorry to bother you, I think you lead me on tour?"
2. Matisyahu, a rabbi and an artist hold an in-depth conversation at 1am about God's sphincter muscle and ask – is it different from ours?
3. When asked how to confront anti-Zionism in the community, an MP responds, "Well, I would be happy to come and give a talk to whoever wants, come and get my number after this is over."
Masorti on the fence over gay marriage
Simon Rocker
Dec 13, 2012The Reform and Liberal movements have both welcomed the government's promise to press ahead with the introduction of gay marriage.
The Chief Rabbi has made his opposition known, but he has certainly not been as vocal about it as Catholic leaders.
But the Masorti movement remains undecided. It did release a statement this week in which its senior rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg said: "Gay people have long been subject to misjudgment, humiliation and exclusion, especially in religious life. A key Conservative responsum advocates full inclusion of gay people in all areas of Jewish life and leadership.
The proof is in the spanking
Orlando Radice
Dec 6, 2012If you were in any doubt that Bibi has made a boo-boo with the E1 settlement plan, here's the proof. Canada's Stephen Harper, probably the most pro-Israel prime minister in the world, has now also given Benjamin Netanyahu a spanking. Ouch.
Mazel Tov: a royal baby for Wills and Kate
Jennifer Lipman
Dec 3, 2012The wait is over. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child. According to St James's Palace: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby".
With no word yet on whether the royal infant will be a boy or a girl, it's perhaps too premature to engage in a "will-they-won't-they" debate over whether they will choose to circumcise their offspring , as was once a royal tradition.
But how did the Jewish communtiy react in 1982, when William was born? Well, as the JC reported on June 25 1982, we were rather excited.
The ally you never knew Israel had: Micronesia
Anna Sheinman
Nov 30, 2012The inevitable has happened. The PA has been upgraded in the UN General Assembly with a huge majority vote.
Israel was against the motion, as was its eternal ally the US, and Canada presumably does as it's told. The traditionally pro-Israel Czech Republic also said nay.
Perhaps more surprisingly to the casual UN live feed viewer, also pitching their tents in the anti-upgrade camp were the tiny nations of Palau, Nauru, Micronesia, Panama and the Marshall Islands.

Lowrie says it's just "Washington thinking" to look at whether modest-income Americans will wind up shouldering much more of the tax burden. He repeatedly refused to say how much more of the tax burden would be borne by the poor and middle class than under the current system. But he implicitly acknowledged the problem by saying that the campaign would "fix this" with a new empowerment-zone plan that would be laid on top of the 9-9-9 plan and would presumably lower taxes in inner cities. But how fair is that to people living elsewhere? And aren't we back to more complexity?
BY THE WAY … Lowrie isn't an economist. He's a "wealth management" consultant, whatever that means.
Ladies and gentlemen, so terminates your Bloomberg-Washington Post debate for the Republican presidential candidates. So who comported themselves well? And who came up short?
The Winners:
Mitt Romney. At this point, it's almost becoming embarrassing. Romney has just wiped the floor with… [more]
We're starting to get to the point where the winners and losers are the ones who aren't necessarily flashy, but well-polished and well-studied. Romney made it look easy; he's well-polished and well-studied. Santorum and Huntsman are in the same boat, and suddenly looking better as a result. Cain's well-polished, making up for his weakness on certain things (like explaining 999). Paul's well-studied, but his opinions are tougher to polish for a larger audience (although he's making inroads). But Perry and Bachmann looked like they were drowning (all buzz, little substance), and Newt just looked like the odd man out, a tenured college professor in a real-world situation. To us, it seems like this debate format had the effect of playing up smarts and playing down rhetoric. Those who lean more on smarts won. Those who lean on rhetoric struggled.
I'm absolutely devoted to making America the strongest country in the world, and if that's not your objective, don't vote for me. We already have a President who doesn't have that objective.Mitt Romney, closing out the debate.
i don't think the federal government should be involved in that type of investment, period.Rick Perry, speaking on Solyndra, the solar technology company which received a government loan guarantee of over $500 million before filing for bankruptcy. He explained that he doesn't have a problem with states leveraging its funds to try to spark innovation and hiring, however, and that's a good thing — Perry has been proactive in pushing for certain industry subsidies within Texas.
