He sighed softly.She shorter or the two gave him a sympathetic smile and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry Mattie. Cuba and I know that you aren't that hamburger eater."Matthew smiled down at his little sister. "Thanks, kiddo. What are you making?" He asked, looking over her shoulder at the skillet on the stove.She laughed. "Do you need to ask?" Her bright (e/c) eyes shined brightly up at his with a happy grin spread across her face.Excitedly, Matthew moved to the cabinet and opened it, pulling out the maple syrup. "Glad to know that I have an amazing little sister to make pancakes when I get home from a meeting.""You know it, Mattie." Replied the shorter of the two.Now,
Nyo!BelarusXReader A Knife to the Heart"B-Brother, do you have to keep following me?" Anya whimpered as she was trapped against the wall by her taller, but younger brother."Of course, I need to protect you." Replied the Belarusian male and he glared down at his older sister."B-Brother, I appreciate the thought, I really do. But I can protect myself." Anya said to her brother, trying to look up at his dark, dark eyes."Няма." He said flatly."Brother! Sister! Come on, would you? We need to welcome the new addition!" Called the oldest brother from downstairs."C-Coming!!" The frightened Russian woman replied as she managed to slip out of her brother's cage and run down the hall.Nikolai sighed, once again his sister had managed to escape him. The young man with platinum blonde, nearly silver hair followed in suit of his older sister. His grey trench coat with black fur collar and black fur cuffs moved with him as he descended the large staircase to the foyer of the large mansion.At the bottom of the

He noticed his two friends running towards him, with the looks that they had something on their minds.His best friends, the cheerful Antonio Fernández Carriedo, and the loud Gilbert Beilschmidt came over to him as he closed up is text book."Bonjour, you two.

I want to think that if he just had someone to join him, then people won't be so scared of him..." She explained, a blush appearing on her face as she averted her eyes from him.She heard him sigh. "Alright, whatever. If you really want to spend you time with that giant, be my guest. At least you picked a club before I had to put you in one." She looked up just in time to see England turn away from her and walk down the walkway of the school.The country nodded before she walked down the walkway and took her cell phone out."Like, hello?""Poland, can I meet you at a café? I want to talk to you about something." She spoke into the phone."Sure, girly. But can I bring the Baltics? They're with me right now." He replied."That's even better, thanks.

She replied as she leaned against the tree with her arms crossed over her chest. "Also smarter, and a better cook than you."Arthur blushed at the comment of his cooking. "Bloody Hell. What has High School done to you? When we were kids you never acted like this." He muttered."It's called growing up, Artie. Ever heard of it?" She replied with a smirk.The two best friends held eye contact for a few moments, then Arthur broke away with a sigh. "Alright, alright." He began. He gave his friend a pat on the head. "You win." He then turned and began to walk down the sidewalk. "Don't I always?"

BritainXReaderXRussia Ch 1Chapter 1"How could that idiot just run off and leave us? I swear when I get my hands on him." Norway grumbled angrily as he and the remaining Nordics, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and (Country Name), walked through the large halls of World Academy W."(Country Name), why don't you walk around so we can find Den?" Finland asked the younger country."Won't she get lost?" Iceland asked."I won't!" Promised the (h/c) girl. "Just tell me where our class is, and I'll be sure to find it!"Norway looked over his shoulder at his younger sister and sighed. "Fine." He walked over to her, taking out a pen and paper. "I'll give you the directions to the room, but as soon as your done looking around, head to the second floor. That's the floor where the room is." He told her as he wrote down the directions."Thanks, big brother! I'll see you guys later!" She said happily as she walked away down the hall of the first floor.Admiring the halls and the design, she sighed contently while walking down the

(Country Name) recognized her brothers, as they sat in their desks on the far side of the room. She saw Ukraine and Russia with another girl who was shorter than the two of them.

England pressed, looking down at the young country with an excited gleam in his eyes."Who says I want to join the Magic Club anyway?" Asked the country, standing her ground. "Who says I should anyway?""The Student Council President. Every student is to join a club, no matter what it may be. And since you haven't shown any interest in joining the Scandinavia Club, you are open to any club. Including the Magic Club!" England told the country, crossing his arms over his chest.The country started to get frustrated. Who was this guy to tell her what club she could join?! "You said any club. That means that there are more options than just the Scandinavia Club and the Magic Club!" She protested, taking a step towards the other country.England huffed angrily. "There are.

[Germany x Reader] I'll Just Call In Sick... The sensations of happiness and comfort flooded my senses, before I even opened my eyes. The rays of the morning sun flooded through the silky white curtains and into the room. The smell of fall invaded my senses along with the soft breeze, forcing the curtains to move along it's wave. The air cooled me, however Ludwig's warmth was stronger. I finally opened my eyes to Ludwig's sleeping face. His hair was unkempt, falling into his face. His aqua orbs were closed, and his mouth was slightly agape. The warm breath that escaped his lips tickled my neck. My hands were resting on his bare chest, and my head was tucked into his neck. A smile crept onto my face, as I snaked a hand to the side of his face, stroking my thumb over his cheekbone; he faintly smiled in his sleep. I began pushing back some of his loose, golden hair out of his face, though it was futile to keep it back; so I settled on just running my (s/tone) fingers though
Sweet Dreams (GermanyxReader) You smiled softly down at Ludwig's sleeping face as his features were gently bathed in moonlight streaming in from the window. He was so peaceful in repose, without stress or worry or any of the emotions that plagued him in wakefulness to etch hard lines into his features. And it had been so long since the easy curves of a true smile had appeared on his face that you could barely remember what one looked like. His feathery blond hair glimmered finely in the moonlight as he murmured something undecipherable in his sleep, shifting slightly in his sleep so that his sculpted silhouette was thrown into glorious relief against the domes of the pillow cradling his head. Reaching out quietly, you gently stroked the soft strands, revelling silently in the feel of the silky blond gossamer against your fi
Germany X Reader: SensesImplied sexual themes but nothing explicit. Don't read if offended.SightThe first time Ludwig saw you, he wasn't overly impressed. You were a simple girl with simple tastes, __e/c__ eyes, __s/c__ skin, and __h/c__, __h/l__ hair. You were friends with Feliciano and he wanted to introduce the two of you. He was polite as always to meeting new people and shook your hand and gave you a more proper introduction than the one Feli had provided. Naturally, now that you and Feli were friends, he brought you along a lot, and that might have been when he started noticing things about you like the way your eyes brightened when you started talking about something you were passionate about or the way they sparkled when you laughed or the cute way your nose scrunched up when your face twisted in confusion or the way your __h/c__ hair caught the light when you were walking in the sun with your arms spread wide like accepting a giant hug as if to say you loved the earth and life.
Apron Macho-man [GermanyxReader]After a long and stressful day, you were finally on your way home. The life of a secretary for a clumsy CEO is not easy, but someone needed to do it. Your hair was messy and your eyes looked more tired than usual. They stared at the road with a dead look in them. The routine of driving home was so normal now, that you could do it even in your sleep without having an accident. Hmmm.... Maybe you should try that someday...You let a sigh pass your lips. You couldn't wait to get home and into your boyfriend, Ludwig's, arms. Every strong arms, might you add. You and Ludwig had been in an relationship for about a year now, and even though he seemed like a cold person, he made you feel like a princess. A small smile crept onto your lips at the thought of him. He may be a well built macho-man, but in reality, he blushed like a school girl even from a kiss on the cheek. So adorable.You parked your car on the driveway and picked up your bad as you stepped out. Your heels tapped against the dri
Awkward Confession (Germany x Reader)For the past few weeks, (Name) was avoiding Ludwig.Why? Because the female (hair color) has developed something that someone like him might not understand. And that something, was a feeling which is common when you admire someone.Crush.or the person you love that will never be yours,and it crushes your heart.That's why it's called a crush.(Name) hated the idea of that, but a crush is just a crush, right? Screw that.Of course with more those thoughts, she got stressed out and couldn't keep it any more.Sharing her thoughts was a good idea but when she did, Feliciano almost blurted out to Ludwig that (Name) had a crush on him. Before he could even say it, she already shoved a banana in his mouth. (with the peeling still on) (Name) could hardly sleep with her thoughts. So, she tried listen to a lullaby. When it didn't work, she tried humming yet, it sounds annoying even if it's her own voice. Fed up, her final opinion is to drink a warm glass
Hetalia x Depressed!Reader - Germany's Ending...Ludwig.The tall German man, who seemed to tower over you, and make you small, simply stared down at you. You knew he had a hard time talking to females; you'd known since sixth grade. But you'd never had much trouble speaking to him. He seemed to have trouble trying to figure out what to say.When he finally spoke, respectfully looked at him, although you didn't want to. "Why did you get so upset?" he asked, although his voice had a slight edge to it. "I'm not upset..." you tried your hardest to lie, but that was not very possible at this point. You felt somewhat broken inside; like the last blow to your heart broke you as if you were glass.The German slammed a hand against the wall. "Don't lie!" he ordered, his soldier-like attitude returning. You flinched, and shielded yourself, thinking he was going to hit you."I will not tolerate lies. I need you to tell me what the hell made you so upset. now."See, Germany didn't understand you well. You were good friends, no doubt..
HetaliaxReader - Need A Hug? - GermanyHis room was at the end of the hall. Feliciano had made sure that he was in the room next to his. Feliciano was always like that, leaning on the German for help and right now you needed that help. You finally made it to the end of the hall, your breathing hitching when you stood in front of the door, the number 202 was nailed into it. First you tried the door. Locked. He must've wanted a night without Feli sneaking in. It was understandable though, Feli did have a tendency to cling to you. You knocked on the door. A grumble came from inside. You knocked again, this time louder. "Fick willen, I'm not letting you in Feliciano," Ludwig half shouted. "I want to be alone for one night." "It's _____," you whispered into the door, hoping he would hear you. Leaning on the door you heard a mattress groaning before the door opened. You fell into a muscular chest. Two
You've Got to be Tough...Tomorrow Germany x Reader With a concerned frown on his usually stern, serious face, Germany looked down at his curly haired, sleeping three year old daughter Annika and tried not to give in to his worries. You'd just managed to get her to sleep during an obnoxious thunderstorm and now he wanted to bring her into the bed with you. "You really think she'll be alright in here? She was pretty scared earlier, and this storm doesn't sound like it's going to stop any time soon." His frown deepened. "Maybe we should just let her sleep with us tonight, just in case. She'll probably end up in there anyway."Determined not to give in, even though you were feeling the same way, you firmly shook your head. "You worry about her too much, Germany. Annika will be just fine in here, I promise." Eager to get off of your feet and into your comfortable bed, you took his rough hand in yours and gently tugged him towards the door. "Now come on already, I'm tired.&
Tears and Ticklement GermanyxReaderTears and Ticklement GermanyxReader"Ludwig! Get your finely sculpted butt in here or the movie will start without you!" Your boyfriend of one year, Ludwig Beilschmidt, tromped out of the kitchen, a bowl of popcorn in hand."There is such a thing as patience, (Name). Maybe you should learn some." Ludwig said, plopping down the couch beside you."And where would the fun in that be?" You asked with a playful grin. Ludwig shook his head slowly but rewarded you with a slight smile."What are we even watching?" Ludwig asked, attempting to direct attention toward the movie whose opening scenes were beginning to play."War Horse." You answered. Ludwig cocked a brow. He was familiar with the movie and your reactions to it."Are you sure about this?""What do you mean 'am I sure'?""This movie always makes you cry and has ruined quite a few of my shirts." You made a dismissive hand gestur
GermanyXReader These Feelings"Feliciano!! For the last time, pick up you feet when you run!" The German called to his Italian companion."B-But Ludwig... M-my feet are tired..." The Italian complained as he dragged his feet over the sidewalk.The German sighed as he walked along side the brown haired young man. "Feliciano. You are never going to gain the strength to impress he ladies if you don't work out properly." He told Feliciano.After hearing that sentence and some what of a pep talk, the Italian began to jog again like he did an hour ago when the two started.Ludwig sighed. "That man only needs the mention of food and women to get his feet moving."It was regular for the two of them to go out and jog like this through the streets of Berlin. Though, they were supposed to meet their friend Kiku before they left for Japan the following week for a scheduled camping trip that they had decided to go on.Usually the slender Japanese man would jog with them, but he said that he had a quick errand to run that mornin

I always use "said" when someone says something.
But it's confusing and unnecessary to limit yourself when two people are having a discourse because it can be confusing. I like to use replied when someone replies. It just makes much more sense, and is much easier to read. These rules go overboard; what he should have said is try to make it easy for the reader by labeling dialogue with "said" as often as appropriate, and something else when more appropriate.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: TMI, LGBT, Life stories, Sex, Life News
I. To preserve my sanity between sophomore and junior year of high school (defining "sanity" loosely here), I moved out. Out of the small back bedroom where I shared a bunk bed with my brother, to a futon in the sun room of our house — a converted porch, actually. Privacy was my main concern, but an added bonus was the old family computer gathering dust in the corner of my new room. Unbearably slow as it was, late at night after I closed the French doors (ooh la la!) to the living room and drew the curtains to the backyard, I could go online, muffling the sound of the 56K modem with a pillow, and surf the Web unmolested and unafraid.
The thing is, I never really got to the Web, proper. I never left AOL, heading right for the chat rooms night after night. Men4men was my go-to room. Guys would send their stats or whatever they were looking for into the public window in sporadic blasts, and the real exchanges would follow in one-on-one sessions. "17yo closeted student in Texas here," I'd post, and the replies would trickle in. "Where in TX?" and "What are you wearing?" popped up a lot. I'd settle in with the most enticing, least pompous screen name, and my messages went like, "I just want so badly to feel another guy's skin," or "I wonder what it's like to kiss and hold someone I like." Just articulating what was in my teenage head. I had to get up for school the next morning, so it never went much further than that.
II. Once I got to college in New York, I didn't fear (as much) a wrathful backlash if someone from real life found me out online. Planet Out seemed the most trustworthy mainstream portal, so I posted a profile. No picture yet, just "College guy new to the city, looking for chat, friends, maybe more." I was nervous about that last bit, an enticement to I didn't know what. I soon found that no one, or only the crazies and desperates, respond to pictureless profiles, so I posted one with my face cropped out. That got me only crotch shots in return, so after a week I added a grainy obscure portrait.
This led to my first date — really just a hookup without sex or even much kissing (does that still count?). One lonely Friday night a guy who lived not far (my ZIP code was in my profile) posted a "like" to my page. We chatted maybe 20 minutes before exchanging more photos via e-mail. "Yr cute," he wrote. "I'm Bored." "Me too," I typed. "Wanna come over and hang out?" I walked the seven blocks to his walk-up apartment. A photographer in a tiny studio crash pad. We sat on the edge of his bed (no couch), he offered a beer, and I talked, knees shaking, about not really being out yet.
The groping and kissing was awkward, me wanting both everything and nothing to happen. Not a button or zipper was undone. I started backing away when his hand ventured too far, and his tongue pushing in deeper made me feel weird about what I was doing. Giving some awkward excuse, I walked quickly back to the dorm.
III. Later in college, gay.com released a revamped messaging service, which made it easier to "preview" guys and weed out bad matches ahead of time. I should also say at this point: This was it for me in the dating department. There was no meeting guys around campus, no striking up a conversation with someone in the cafeteria, no clicking with a friend of a friend at a party. School was all work, all study, all the time, and my budding (stunted?) sexuality only came out at night, back home in the dark, in front of the glowing computer screen.
With gay.com messenger, I could swiftly click on guys who popped up to see their photos, profile and stats, and decide off the bat whether I was aroused. Meeting guys in real life if the chat went well now felt more possible, so sometimes these messenger exchanges turned into hours-long sagas as I figured out whether I really wanted to meet up, and how in the world I would ask.
One guy — another college student — I met at a coffee shop where we nursed cappuccinos and smiled, blushing, into our mugs. We walked back to his place and sat awkwardly with five inches between us, looking up the walls, until he made the first move. I ended up sleeping over. We never got out of our underwear, and our hands never reached past our belly buttons.
IV. After college I dated more — nothing too serious, but a couple of months at a stretch here and there. In between times — being a young, broke, entry-level employee — I started doing the math: Going out to a club and paying the cover charge in order to meet guys in the crowded darkness, or buying enough drinks at a bar to where my inhibitions would be sufficiently lowered to actually uncross my arms and speak up, versus logging onto the Internet for free, with the same goal in mind.
The dating profiles and message boards felt stale by now — hard to get excited about anyone after so many misfires — so I cut to the chase and logged onto Manhunt. No pretense here about just wanting to chat, or find a nice date, maybe an LTR (long-term relationship), or not being hell-bent on getting laid by the end of the night. At sign-up you filled out fields for interests (1-on-1, group sex, PNP [party and play, meaning get high and fool around]), availability (right now, later tonight), and preferred ambience (your place or mine).
Turns out, the efficiency of this setup killed it for me. Even when guys were remotely attractive, with everything spelled out ahead of time, hookups felt mechanical, like shooting fish in a barrel. Everything prearranged. Seeing all the goods upfront meant that there were no surprises later. Nothing was more of a turnoff. Wait — I take that back. More of a turnoff was seeing a college professor on Manhunt, and being propositioned by said professor. (Please, God, tell me he didn't recognize me, and reach out for that very reason.) Whether scoring or just jerking off by the end of the Manhunt sessions, I inevitably felt dirty afterward.
V. A couple of years after college I moved to Helsinki for work for six months and was back to square one, dating-wise. Not a gay friend to speak of, three lame gay bars in the entire country, and none of my go-to Web sites were of any use there. Oh, and I didn't speak the language. After an exhaustive search, a profile site called Qruiser seemed the most popular in the Scandinavian/Baltic region, and I listed myself as "American Dude in Finland." What impression did this give a local? Sexy foreigner? Lame outsider? I have no idea. Though a handful of message exchanges lasted a few days (rarely getting past "Hello, what are you doing here?"), the best match was a pilot out of the Netherlands who regularly flew to Helsinki, and wouldn't mind getting together at the hotel near the airport on his next stopover. It never happened. I fared better (barely) in Helsinki's gay bars.
VI. Back stateside, the online scene had evolved while I was away. I happened upon a sort of Facebook for homos: D-List. So much about the site seemed asexual, trying to keep up the pretense that this was a "social network," not a hookup site. I never came across a real-life friend on D-List — no one was searchable by their actual name — but the site had a surprising number of good-looking guys not listing their size in inches, and far fewer erect cocks ramming into the camera in photo galleries (as seen constantly on Manhunt).
One D-List meet-up went better than I had expected. We agreed to meet at a local gay bar/dance spot on a Saturday night. He was with a group of friends, I was alone. We passed each other a couple of times among the crowd and on trips to and from the bar, but didn't stop to speak. I'd recognized him at first glance. I figured he either didn't recognize me from my photos, or recognized me and wasn't interested in person, so was ignoring me and getting on with his night. At last we came up against each other on the edge of the dance floor and started up a conversation. He thought I was giving him the same treatment — the not-recognizing/not interested thing. At last call, we walked back to my place.
When that relationship went south a couple months later, I didn't go back online. I felt over it. Better, I thought, to try more seriously meeting guys for real — in real life — for a change.

Atlantic City is preparing for more than 6,000 jobs lost. Insight on the road ahead for the city, with CNBC's Morgan Brennan.» Read More
Aug 16- When the $2.4 billion Revel Casino opened its doors in 2012, the curvy blue-glass tower was hailed as the wave of the future for Atlantic City, New Jersey.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.— The $2.4 billion Revel Casino Hotel that opened just over two years ago as a hoped-for savior for Atlantic City's flagging casino industry will close a week earlier than originally planned, the company announced in an email Friday.
Chris Christie says he has no regrets about canceling a rail tunnel project that would have increased commuter capacity between New Jersey and Manhattan.
They include El Pollo Loco Holdings Inc, Zoe's Kitchen Inc, and Papa Murphy's Holdings Inc.. Shake Shack is present in many U.S. states including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida and Massachusetts.
Hedge fund Paulson & Co maintained its stake in the world's biggest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, in the second quarter.
TRENTON, N.J.— New Jersey's unemployment rate edged down one-tenth of a percent in July to 6.5 percent, but still remains above the national average of 6.2 percent. The report released Thursday by the state Labor Department and based on data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows private sector employers added 8,500 jobs during the month.
PITTSBURGH— A Florida man was sentenced Thursday to five years in federal prison for his role in an overseas loan scam that cost 47 investors on four continents more than $3.9 million. Attorney Leo Dillon told the sentencing judge the case involved "an enormous worldwide fraud," with victims in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia.
Christie and New Jersey Democrats have said Atlantic City's economy, heavily dependent on casinos, needs to be broadened.
Nichelson didn't immediately return calls for comment Thursday as to whether the company will contest the OSHA fine. OSHA issued the citation and proposed penalty, which was first reported by The Courier-Express, on July 29.
Chris Christie vowed Thursday to do everything he can to help laid-off Atlantic City casino workers find new jobs after the hotels they work for close next month. Atlantic City started the year with 12 casinos but will have just eight remaining by fall.
WASHINGTON, Aug 14- Foreclosure activity across the United States jumped in July for the first time in four months as lenders scheduled more properties for auction, an industry report said on Thursday.
Aug 13- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said on Wednesday he would convene a bipartisan summit in September to seek ways to rescue Atlantic City from a slump in its mainstay casino business. Atlantic City has struggled with casino closures as neighboring states have lured gamblers away.
Revel is the latest casualty for the struggling New Jersey gambling center. Tom Ballance, Borgata Hotel & Casino COO, reveals his plans to keep the doors open at Borgata. You have to give people a reason to drive here, says Ballance.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie posted on his Facebook page a video showing two of his kids dumping a bucket of ice water on his head.
NEW YORK, Aug 12- Brent crude oil hit a 13- month low on Tuesday as ample North American production outweighed concern over supply from the Middle East, while stocks and the euro were pressured by plunging investor morale in Germany, Europe's largest economy.
LONDON/ HOUSTON, Aug 12- U.S. refiners will refrain from buying more Kurdish crude oil until a long-running dispute between Baghdad and Iraqi Kurdistan is settled, while Washington urges both sides to set aside their differences and helps them tackle Sunni militants.
*Focus stays on developments in Gaza, Iraq and Ukraine. Wednesday's auction of $24 billion in 10- year notes and Thursday's $16 billion sale of 30- year securities follow solid results at the $27 billion three-year note auction.
Aug 12- The bankrupt Revel Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is set to close by Sept. 10 after failing to find a buyer, the casino said on Tuesday.

Cowboy Up: ESPN Finds New Partner For Thursday Night Games In Oklahoma State
Published September 8, 2011
Oklahoma State Univ. will play the Univ. of Arizona tonight on ESPN, the latest example of OSU's "new tradition" of hosting a Thursday night football game, and the reasons the school continues to "play on a weeknight in prime time ... are concrete," according to Gina Mizell of the DAILY OKLAHOMAN. The "buzzword thrown out" by OSU AD Mike Holder and coach Mike Gundy is "marketing." Gundy said, "Being the only show on Thursday night, there are a lot of viewers out there. And it's not only for our football team, but it's for our university. When that logo's on the screen for three hours ... we think is an advantage." Mizell noted while the game will air opposite the NFL season-opening Saints-Packers game on NBC, Arizona-OSU is the only option "for a viewer looking for college football." Holder said, "ESPN can be very persuasive. They've got a lot of arrows in their quiver to get you to play on Thursday night. It seems like the more times you say no or maybe not, the better the deal gets. And finally, you just can't say no." Tonight's game marks the third straight season OSU has hosted a primetime Thursday game, and Holden said, "It's not a decision that you make lightly, but for the last three years, the positives have outweighed the negatives." OSU QB Brandon Weeden: "I wouldn't want to play four or five of them throughout the year, but once a year is fun" (DAILY OKLAHOMAN, 9/5).

Everybody deals with anxiety and depression, however some people have a difficult time in managing it. As a result, here is a brief list of techniques that a person can use to help manage their most persistent fears and every day anxieties.
When facing a current or upcoming task that overwhelms you with a lot of anxiety, the first thing you can do is to divide the task into a series of smaller steps. Completing these smaller tasks one at a time will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.
Sometimes we get stressed out when everything happens all at once. When this happens, a person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.
A person should visualize a red stop sign in their mind when they encounter a fear provoking thought. When the negative thought comes, a person should think of a red stop sign that serves as a reminder to stop focusing on that thought and to think of something else. A person can then try to think of something positive to replace the negative thought.
Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small notebook of positive statements that makes you feel good. Whenever you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you in your pocket. Whenever you feel depressed or frustrated, open up your small notebook and read those statements. This will help to manage your negative thinking.
Learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. You never know when the answers you are looking for will come to your doorstep. We may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to make a world of difference.
Take advantage of the help that is available around you. If possible, talk to a professional who can help you manage your depression and anxieties. They will be able to provide you with additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current problem. By talking to a professional, a person will be helping themselves in the long run because they will become better able to deal with their problems in the future. Remember that it never hurts to ask for help.
Dealing with our persistent fears is not easy. Remember that all you can do is to do your best each day, hope for the best, and take things in stride. Patience, persistence, education, and being committed in trying to solve your problem will go along way in fixing your problems.

CAP D'ANTIBES, France - John Travolta came by jet. Justin Bieber made a beeline to the bar. Leonardo DiCaprio mingled with Marion Cotillard. And Robin Thicke sang about his ex.
Thursday night's annual amfAR event — an auction, dinner, and after-party — reaffirmed its reputation as the celebrity highlight of the Cannes Film Festival, with a glitzy guest that included Oscar-winners, Hollywood legends, top singers and perhaps every supermodel in existence.
The charitable event, which takes place a stone's throw away at the five-star Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes every year, raised a record $35 million for AIDS research. Part of that haul came from the sale of Damien Hirst's gilded woolly mammoth skeleton; the "Gone but not Forgotten" work, encased in a glass box trimmed with gold, was one of three works from the British artist put up for auction.
The evening's host, Sharon Stone, lauded the crowd for coming together to help eradicate AIDS.
"I know all of you have lost someone to AIDS," she said. "Now we are at the beginning of the end of AIDS."
But they also came to hobnob and party. Here are the highlights of the starry night:
THE CHARITY CATWALK: The Cannes red carpet had competition as guests — famous and otherwise — brought out their best for the evening. There were gowns billowing over with tool, short cocktail dresses, and beaded and bedazzled creations. Some women were bold, with plunging necklines and risque outfits that barely contained body parts. Even some men got creative at the black-tie event; one sported a bow-tie that was gold. Professional starlet Paris Hilton wore a beaded floor-length ensemble. The cool temperatures and occasional rain made her nervous about her choice (the cocktail hour and part of the after-party is outdoors). "I was sent about 50 gowns," she said. "I was actually going to wear white but then it was raining and I got nervous, so I changed to this gold dress."
EUROS, NOT DOLLARS: Stone need several reminders that the items she was auctioning off were more expensive than she was announcing to the audience. As the actress played auctioneer, she frequently bellowed out the price of the item in dollars — and was quickly corrected by a man on a mic who stressed it was in euros. The difference between the two is considerable. An item selling for $1 million would be about 734,000 euros. But an item selling for 1 million euros would be nearly $1.4 million.
THE FASHION WORLD CARES: Former French Vogue Editor Carine Roitfeld organized a 42-piece fashion show under the theme "red," the colour symbolizing the fight against the disease. Top international houses design the gowns, including Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. The looks, showcased by some of the world's top models including Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and Chanel Iman, were up for auction. To boost bidding Stone also threw in the revealing Pucci dress she was wearing. "Make it 43," she bellowed. The collection sold for $4.8 million. Karl Lagerfeld also put his iconic fingerless gloves up for auction, but they fetched considerably less.
CARLA BRUNI, AUCTIONEER: "Ladies, ladies, ladies, look at my necklace," purred Carla Bruni. The 46-year-old ex-supermodel and former French first lady offered up her Bulgari serpentine necklace for the hammer; it sold for $545,000. Bruni heaped praise on Stone's auctioning skills: "Every time she says something, she makes the people wanting to buy and to participate in this evening, so I think she's the best ambassador that the amfAR can have."
WHO WOULDN'T VOYAGE INTO SPACE WITH LEO? A planned voyage into space with DiCaprio was meant to have been fully booked. Luckily, amfAR invitees were informed of a space seat on the inter-planetary expedition planned for 2015. It sold for nearly $1 million.
PINING OVER PAULA: Robin Thicke can't stop making references to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Paula Patton. The R&B singer, who closed the night with a performance, started off his set referencing how it was inspired by the woman he met when he was 16 (the pair first started dating when they were in their teens). Later, he sang his new tune "Get Her Back." But his performance was far from downbeat. Thicke sang Michael Jackson's classic "Rock With You" before closing out his set with his own smash, "Blurred Lines," which brought a host of guests onto the stage to dance with him, including Stone. Other performers included opera singer Andrea Bocelli, who sung an warbling Italian version of "My Way" by Frank Sinatra; "The Man" singer Aloe Blacc, who had the crowd on their feet dancing; and Lana Del Ray.
AFTER-PARTY: The post-celebration may have been more entertaining than the actual event. Instead of heading home after the event wrapped around 1 a.m., guests headed to the picturesque pool area. Jessica Chastain, Rosario Dawson, Dita Von Teese and model Aymeline Valade who played Betty Catroux in the Cannes competition film "Saint Laurent," were among those holding court while others danced to under the moonlit sky. The party went on into the wee morning hours. Quentin Tarantino was seen walking into the entrance around 3 a.m.

Under the new partnership Symbiot members receive a special national account price on an array of products.
SALT LAKE CITY – Symbiot, a provider of bundled property services, announced that it has formed a new purchasing program with Pest Control Supplies.
The program offers Symbiot members a special national account price on an array of insecticides, traps and spray equipment. Pest Control Supplies, based in Riverside, Mo., ships to all 50 states and can process orders via phone, email or Internet.
"As Symbiot continues to become a major player in the commercial pest control industry, it is important that we have a partner that can distribute to the whole country," said Blake Stillman, Symbiot Supply Chain Services Manager. "Pest Control Supplies has that capability, and combined with the pricing they have established for our group, this will be a terrific program."
Last October, Symbiot added a program with Quality Equipment & Spray to provide Symbiot members a source for discounted and customized spray rigs.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Too Many Shootouts
by Paul on 11/14/06 at 10:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
Shootouts have been great for hockey. It's the right way to end a game in the regular season when regulation and overtime can't decide a winner. It sure beats those boring ties that had become all too common place in the sport. But have shootouts become too much the norm in today's hockey world? I say yes, and it's time to do something about it. Going into last night's action in the National Hockey League, 33 games were decided by a shootout. Average that out, and more than 90 per cent of NHL nights have had at least one game end in a shootout.continued

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — In the world of great Mormon entertainers, Marie Osmond's a little bit country, brother Donny's a little bit rock 'n' roll, Jon Heder's a little bit weird, Aaron Eckhart's a little bit hot, and Billy Barty's a little bit short. Add to that Ryan Hamilton. He's a little bit comedy.
A big bit, actually. It's his life.
The Howdy Doody-faced comic (he prefers a more contemporary comparison: "the illegitimate child of Jerry and Elaine") makes his living working sinful nightclubs surrounded by drunks and his fellow comedians, most of whom are offensive heathens. But he loves it.

For those of you who think Michael Jackson's white face is suspect, here is the story of a Fox television anchor is who literally turning white and has the same disease Jacko claims to have:
His once brown, even complexion is now mottled with pale patches around his eyes and mouth, along his nose and on his ears; his arms, shoulders and chest are speckled and blotched.
"I'm a black man turning white on television and people can see it," says Thomas, an anchor and entertainment reporter for the local Fox Broadcasting Company affiliate. "If you've watched me over the years, you've seen my hands completely change from brown to white."Thomas has vitiligo, a disorder in which pigment-making cells are destroyed. White patches appear on different parts of the body, tissues in the mouth and nose, and the retina.
"There is no cause. There is no cure, and it's very random," Thomas says. "I could turn all the way white or mostly white." As many as 65 million people worldwide have the disorder, including up to 2 million in the United States.
Poor thang.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 5–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Darn those Alouettes
GUELPH, ONT. -- Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke was asked Friday if there was any particular four-letter word he chose to use when he watched on TV as the Montreal Alouettes won a stunner over the B.C. Lions Thursday on a last-minute Hail-Mary pass.
"Darn," Burke laughed. "That's the PG version."
Bombers Scores
Powered by Sports Direct Inc.
A 39-38 come-from-behind Alouettes victory -- set up by a 57-yard reception in the dying seconds that set up a game-winning Sean Whyte field goal as time expired -- was just the latest in a seemingly endless list of things that have gone wrong for Burke and the Bombers lately.
The victory improved Montreal to 3-5, which puts them two wins up on Winnipeg in the East Division.
Winnipeg's opponent here today at Alumni Stadium -- the Hamilton Tiger-Cats -- are also two wins up on the Bombers at 3-4, all of which makes today's game even more desperate for the 1-6 Bombers.
"You don't want to fall too far behind anybody. We're at a point where we definitely need to win some games," said Burke.
The sack exploits of Bombers defensive end Alex Hall have gone a little unnoticed, largely because of the utter turmoil of the team that surrounds him.
But credit where it is due -- Hall continues to lead the CFL with nine sacks, has at least one sack in four of his last five games and at his current pace would finish the season with 23, which would be the most in the league since current NFLer Cameron Wake recorded that many in 2008 for the B.C. Lions.
Hall says it's small consolation in a 1-6 season. "If I could play every position, I would," Hall said. "But it is what it is."
Hall -- who is a free agent at the end of this season -- played bits of three seasons in the NFL from 2008-10 and retains NFL aspirations. But for the moment, he finds himself in the frustrating position of achieving personal goals while his team fails spectacularly to reach its own. "That's the problem," he says. "It's important to set personal goals, but this is a team sport at the end of the day."
Today's game at Alumni Field comes with an unusually early kickoff time -- 1 p.m. local time.
That means players much more accustomed to lying around all day waiting for the evening games that are by far the most common type in the CFL will have some dramatic schedule adjustments today.
The buses to the stadium today for both teams will leave at 9:30 a.m. and Ticats head coach Kent Austin said Friday he has instructed his players on what he expects when they show up for work this morning.
"What we've told our players is to be aware of the fact that you're not used to that time and to not be sleepy and to not wake up in a fog. Get yourself up, get yourself going, get a cold shower and get ready to play."
Bombers cornerback Jovon Johnson said the adjustment shouldn't be too dramatic, particularly for players who are products of the early afternoon games that are a staple of U.S. college programs. "It's a college atmosphere," said Johnson. "That's just the way the day goes and what most of us are accustomed to anyway."

Reminder that while the concept of virginity is technically a social construct, your sexual debut is still allowed to be special to you, and you are still allowed to wait and want to make it meaningful, and your self-perception is still allowed to change after you have sex. Just as long as you're doing these things for yourself, and not because someone told you that you should.
You do you.

Maui County inks agreement for new waste facility
Send this story to a friend

- Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn
Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa on Friday said that the county has inked an agreement with the Maui Resource Recovery Facility LLC to finance, design, build, own and operate a state-of-the-art resource facility, which will divert about 85 percent of the county's municipal solid waste from disposal in the Central Maui Landfill in Puunene, the largest of four county-run landfills on the Valley Isle.
The facility, which is anticipated to be fully operational by 2017, is being developed by Anaergia Services.
Maui County selected the California-based firm in April for the county's "Integrated Waste Conversion and Energy Project" out of field of 20 proposals.
The project is a consolidated effort in waste management to divert the waste generated by Maui's residents and businesses and instead use it to produce renewable fuels.
"The county embarked on this project to foster creation of on-island renewable energy and land use sustainability," Arakawa said in a statement. "The Maui Resource Recovery Facility's solution bolsters recycling efforts for the community and advances significant landfill diversion, while providing a considerable net environmental benefit, renewable fuels and long-term cost savings in the millions of dollars over the 20-year term of the agreement."
The facility also will include a "recyclable materials recovery facility" to separate recyclable materials such as metals, glass, plastic, cardboard, and paper.
"We are very proud to have been selected as the partner for this project and look forward to working closely with the county to achieve their waste diversion goals," Anaergia President Arun Sharma said in a statement. "Once operational, this project will incorporate and integrate leading technologies for material recycle and renewable energy production, which will make Maui a beacon for environmental sustainability."
The project will provide an estimated 150 construction jobs and up to 40 operational jobs, the county said.
