Often brought in to benchmark Inside Sales Organizations, Lauren and her team help Corporate Leaders see where they stack up against the best in class, and identify challenges that are preventing the kind of double and triple-digit growth they've partnered with other companies to achieve.
Raised and educated in Iowa, Lauren quickly ditched the grey Midwest to work in Europe and Asia before settling in sunny Arizona. Today she shares her home with "Captain America," her "Irish twin" boys, a "Road-side Lab," and "Green-card Kitty."

Controversial Remarks of the Day: Yesterday it came to light that PBS had edited out remarks made by Tina Fey about Sarah Palin "and women like her" during her Mark Twain Prize acceptance speech.
This is what she said:
And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course —those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape 'kit 'n' stuff, But for everybody else, it's a win-win. Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster.
PBS claims the remarks were cut because the show ran long. "We took a lot out," says executive producer Peter Kaminsky. "[I]t was not a political decision. We had zero problems with anything she said."
You can watch the unedited speech at PBS.org.
I've got quite a few of conservative friends. They are in quite the tizzy right now because of the latest news concerning President Obama and marriage equality. They are yelling that they can't wait until 2012 & that the President thinks he's "King Obama."
So what caused such a ruckus? Well, he's no longer pushing the courts to defend a law banning federal marital benefits for same-sex couples. A law that doesn't actually defend anybody, but rather discriminates against people.
As Americans, we spend a good deal of time talking about our RIGHTS and FREEDOM. How, we live in a society based on CHOICE, where individuals paths can be taken to live life.
We've struggled with many issues of equality in our country, however. We struggle with race, gender & sexuality. America is the home of the free and the brave, yet- so many cower & push laws that show we aren't brave enough to hand out equality.
Laws, at their best, are intended as a social contract to keep people from infringing on the right of others. A society will ideally use laws in a way to allow us each to live the fullest life possible, without having another cause us harm.
Laws, at their worst, are intended to force behaviors that are detrimental. In these cases, a government will use laws to prevent us from living the fullest life possible, and instead rule by fear and oppression.
America is generally rather idealistic. We've tried to dispose of old laws that say things like "you can't marry outside of your race" or "women can't vote". There are still many laws like these on the books in every state. The states don't enforce them though. They know if they did, there would be a public outcry.
If the president is thinking himself "King" by not enforcing a discriminatory law like this, then so are the courts in every state in the union. So are all of us, who don't call the police on everyone for not adhering to every weird old law we have hanging around in the books.
Our country was founded on the idea that we could work together democratically to form a society that works well for all the people. When we forget these principles, we end up with things like McCarthyism & concentration camps.

Morning and Evening 3/7 AM
March 7
Morning ...
Mark 11:22
Have faith in God.
Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and without faith the wheels are taken from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With faith I can do all things; without faith I shall neither have the inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought "Apollyon;" it needed "Christian" to do that. Poor Little-faith could not have slain "Giant Despair;" it required "Great-heart's" arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little-faith says, "It is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;" but Great-faith remembers the promise, "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall thy strength be:" and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then "have faith in God." If you love darkness, and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, "great faith."

Kangaroo care is the skin-to-skin holding of an infant on your chest,
under a hospital gown or loose shirt. After a premature or sick infant is
medically stable, parents can practice kangaroo care, which is known to have
positive effects on an infant's heart rate and breathing, as well as on
parent–infant bonding.
Many neonatal intensive care units encourage kangaroo care of
premature infants. While some encourage early kangaroo care of tiny and
ventilated infants, others reserve this practice for more developed, stable

What a treat for Lake Champlain Chocolates be a part of Epcot's 15th annual Food & Wine Festival the other weekend! On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I taught an "Authentic Taste" Seminar - a free class that gives participants the chance to get to better know a food or wine. LCC has been involved with this festival for about four years and this year, the emphasis was on sharing "Our Local Secret" - bringing a taste of Vermont to central Florida. Little did I know ahead of time that I'd be bringing Vermont weather to Florida, with morning temperatures in the 40s!
Because this event is free and limited to the first 42 participants, people start lining up well in advance in true Disney style. It was exciting to have so many people who not only were familiar with Lake Champlain Chocolates but also had visited Vermont. The seminar started out with an introduction to Lake Champlain Chocolates and our Local Secrets. Next we took a very quick journey to the equatorial regions where cacao is grown and learned about how chocolate goes from the bean to the bar. Finally (for the very patient listeners), I then led the group in how to taste chocolate and they got to taste the goodness of Vermont.
We first tasted the Cappuccino Truffle - featuring the wonderful cream from Monument Farms, butter from VT Butter & Cheese Creamery, and coffee from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Next was the Honey Caramel -showcasing delicate Vermont honey with its floral notes. Wrapping up the session was our signature Maple Buttercrunch - a favorite of many in the crowd.
We were able to make a Disney "Magical Moment" by letting two people sit up on stage and take part. One couple was from Buffalo and the other was from Scotland. It's amazing how the festival draws a nice crowd of Epcot season-pass holders from the local area as well as people from abroad. The park is transformed into a food and wine lovers paradise -small kiosks are scattered all throughout the World Showcase featuring bite sized tastes of food and wines not only from the permanent showcase countries but many like South African, Belgium, New Zealand and many more who make a special appearance only during the six week festival. I enjoyed spanikopita from Greece and Cheddar Ale Soup from Canada on Day 1. Visited La Hacienda in Mexico on Day 2 and Les Chefs de France on Day 3. Of course, I had to get not only the chocolate mousse but also the chocolate cake at the French Patisserie (the chocolate mousse won my taste-test as the cake was a bit dry and too sweet for my palate).
Every Saturday night during the festival features a Party for the Senses - a huge venue filled with food and wine pairings and entertainment from Cirque du Soleil. Not surprisingly, the highlight for me was the dessert selection - Valhrona Chocolate and Guava Chiffon miniature cupcakes from Cindy Roman of the Yacht Club Resort were just the right size and satisfying. Patty Mitchell of Vista, CA caught my attention for creativity with a spiced donut served with pear sorbet, dried pear, and chocolate sauce. Graham Beck Brut Rose NV South African sparkling wine was a refreshing complement. Like any Disney production, no detail is overlooked at this festival and there are events with wide appeal. I enourage anyone with a passion for food and a love for Disney to attend this festival. Next year will be the 16th - and likely the sweetest one yet!

Target Volume Delineation and Field Setup
A Practical Guide for Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis handbook will enable radiation oncologists, including those in training, to appropriately and confidently select and delineate tumor volumes/fields for conformal radiation therapy, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), in patients with commonly encountered cancers. The orientation of this ground-breaking publication is entirely practical, in that the focus is on the illustration of clinical target volume (CTV) delineation for each major malignancy. Each chapter provides guidelines and concise knowledge on treatment planning and CTV selection, explains how the anatomy of lymphatic drainage shapes target volume selection, and presents detailed illustrations of delineations, slice by slice, on planning CT images. While the emphasis is on target volume delineation for three-dimensional conformal therapy and IMRT, information is also provided on conventional radiation therapy field setup and planning for certain malignancies for which IMRT is not currently suitable. less

It was only for two days, and it was just as magical as the last time, except for me, the best part was seeing Clopin's Music Box, which I didn't get to see last time I was there. He's my favorite Disney character, and even just getting to stand next to it was really special for me."
"I was raped by a man who looked just like Clopin. I don't think I'll ever love Clopin again."
"I wish there was more of Clopin and Esmeralda at Disneyland California".
"The character I love the most in the Disney films is Clopin from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, people will probably find me strange but it's because he was neither a good or bad character, all he wanted to do was protect his people at all costs."
"The opening scene where Clopin tells the story of how Frollo found Quasimodo always scares me. When my Gran played it when I was at hers when I was younger, I used to hide behind the couch. Especially at the church scene. It still scares me to this day."
"I love that Clopin is, in a way, the first to accept Quasimodo. I loved when he gets everyone at the Festival of Fools to accept him as their "king".
"In the Hunchback of Notre Dame Clopin is my favorite character, he is just underrated and never gets any credit in the movie. He's practically the narrator, and yet he's forgotten."
'Clopin from The Hunchback of Notre Dame is hot.'
"The only two Disney characters I've crushed on is Captain Hook and Clopin."

Converse Star Player Leather "Chocolate"
November 25th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | No comments
The Converse Star Player has to be at least a little bit jealous at all the attention the Pro Leather is getting during the second half of 2012, so here's a couple of new colorways that steal the 'other' silo's namesake material. This new Chocolate and black Star Player Premium Leather is a Converse.com exclusive, an earthy build whose organic appeal is greatly aided by the upper's grainy texture. They're like an alternate take on a recent UNDFTD collabo drop with altered colorblocking and no dual-branding, and you can see more photos below before you buy online.

This Is the Greatest Get-Out-the-Vote Video Ever Made
He interrupts couples having sex and throws people into voting booths. He has a terrible mustache and even worse teeth. He is Voteman, and, for whatever reason, Danish parliamentary officials thought he was the perfect mascot for the country's get-out-the-vote campaign ahead of European parliamentary elections. He's probably the world's first get-out-the-vote mascot to be introduced to his audience while receiving fellatio from a handful of voluptuous women.
In a NSFW video released earlier this week, the people of Denmark received their first introduction to Voteman and his turbulent life story. As a young man, he forgot to vote in European Union parliamentary elections -- robbing him of a chance to weigh in on hot-button issues like agricultural subsidies -- and ever since he has dedicated his life to ensuring that people go to the polls. He typically does so via random acts of violence, including, but not limited to, randomly beheading Danes, throwing couples who are having sex through their bedroom windows, and punching passersby in the mouth.
It's difficult to do justice to the video, which also features Voteman cruising into action while strapped to the blowholes of a pair of dolphins. (Depending on how permissive your workplace is on the subject of animated nudity, it's probably not safe for the office).
Alas, we barely got to know Voteman before his time with us came to an end. On Tuesday, the Danish parliament pulled the video after coming under a halestorm of criticism for a video many viewed as disrespectful of women. "Many whose opinions I deeply respect took the E.U. information cartoon as more serious and offensive than it was meant," Morgen Lykketoft, the speaker of Folketinget, the Danish parliament, said. "I recognize that parliament as an institution shall be more circumspect about what we put our name to."
Just a day earlier Lykketoft had defended the video as a harmless, well-intentioned effort to get out the youth vote: "We are trying to inspire the very young to go out and vote. It is important we get a higher turnout, especially among the young. You have to use all sorts of methods."Voteman, the world just wasn't ready for you. But we'll never forget you.

Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
While many will remember her long and storied career in professional wrestling, Mae Young actually started out as an amateur wrestler. A bit of a tomboy growing up, the future WWE hall of fame inductee, was trained by her older brothers on how to wrestle. She became so good that she was allowed on the boys team in high school.
March 2, 2014
While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
January 1, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
Since Ross Von Erich and Marshall Von Erich are working a match at Slammiversary 2014, there have been a lot of rumors floating around that the sons of Kevin Von Erich are going to be signed to a contract with TNA. However, there are reports surfacing that the company is basically doing this as a one shot deal. TNA gains additional exposure since the Von Erich name is still beloved in Dallas, while the brothers are given a chance to be introduced to fans in the United States.
June 8, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
After much speculations about their role at Wrestlemania 30, Cody Rhodes and Goldust have now been confirmed as participants for the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal. There were talks backstage in WWE of giving the brothers a higher profile match on the show, but management has been downplaying their importance over the last several weeks.
March 19, 2014
Even though the brothers have not been utilized on television as strongly as they were a couple of months ago, WWE is working on a DVD that will featured around Dusty Rhodes, Cody Rhodes and Goldust. The family should be receiving a push whenever the DVD is ready to be launched. There's a good chance now that Goldust will stick around a little bit longer.
March 14, 2014
For those that have been wondering, Kevin Von Erich, the surviving member of the world famous Von Erich brothers, is now living in Hawaii and simply enjoying his time.

Last week, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy teamed up for an independent wrestling show, and the place was packed to the brim.

Shane Helms and Shannon Moore are rumored to be appearing as well.
March 1, 2014
For quite some time, there were plans penciled in for Wrestlemania 30 for a big match between Cody Rhodes and Goldust. Management is not nearly as high on the two of them nowadays, as the match is now off the table. There is still a chance, though, that the brothers will work the pay per view as a tag team, especially if they go with a multiple team match for the WWE tag titles.
February 27, 2014
Originally, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were both scheduled to work live events over the weekend in Las Vegas and Phoenix. However, it appears that management has pulled them because they wanted to give Cody some time to heal up from his knee injury. The brothers might still make an appearance on Monday Night Raw, though.
February 17, 2014
The belief backstage right now is that Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be splitting up at Elimination Chamber 2014, where the brothers are expected to be involved in a match for the WWE tag titles. A match between the two is still penciled in for Wrestlemania 30.
February 1, 2014
WWE superstar John Cena told the Huffington Post that his youngest brother has an inoperable brain tumor.
October 29, 2013
Last fall, WWE attempted to make something happen for two of their developmental wrestlers when they paired up Oliver Grey and Danny Burch in a new tag team.

His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins.
May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history.

It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles.

April 28, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski.

Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata.

April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan.

He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup.
April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now.

She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family.

The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit.
April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role.

Most low- or no-VOC paints don't stay that way once standard colorant is added—some dark tints can increase the VOC levels by more than 50 grams per liter. But, starting this summer, all of Sherwin-Williams' latex and water-based paints will be tinted with the company's new zero-VOC ColorCast Eco Toners, making Sherwin-Williams the only company that can tint its full line of colors with zero-VOC colorants.
While some tint systems affect paint thickness and consistency, ColorCast colorants maintain the paint's full body, the company says, delivering thick, rich coats for maximum performance.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I currently have two children attending SRCS and have been nothing but thrilled with the education a care they have received. One of my children has been diagnosed with ADHD and sometimes requires a little extra attention and some creative approaches to learning. The teachers and principal have been very flexible and willing to work with us every step of the way. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a good education with a safe and nurturing environment.
Compared with the local alternatives (in Milton, FL), SRCS is definitely the best option for sending an elementary-age child. (That is to say, I am comparing it with other schools, not with homeschooling - which in some ways would probably provide a better education for particular students). This school outpaces the public schools easily in terms of performance and quality of teaching. In some grades, the class sizes are also smaller and more intimate, which we liked. Our children will not be able to attend for middle or high school (we are a military family and are being stationed elsewhere). So, I am not sure about the quality of those grades. But the director of the school is wonderful, communicative, and goes the extra mile to help if you ask for assistance. Mrs. Brainerd, the K-5 teacher, is a gem and my daughter adored her. We have a gifted child, who was reading well before kindergarten and Mrs. Brainerd took the time to challenge her with supplemental books/workbooks. 1st grade was alright....she probably wasn't challenged as much as she would have been at a gifted and talented school, but such an option was unavailable to us. Best choice for our time in Milton.
Wonderful school! I currently have 3 children there and hope to have all 5 there when they are old enough. My children love their school and I love the education they are getting. The teachers are all wonderful and the principal sets a very positive loving environment for the entire school. Couldn't be happier!
My child started at SRCA and when we felt the financial pinch we tried public school. Man did that ever make me appreciate the educational base given to my child. After ayear, we made room in the budget. It was worth every penny. SRCA teachers challenged my child to do his best. The work was not easy but the teacher coached my child through the rough spots especially transitioning back into the more difficult ABEKA books from the dribble handed out in public school. God was brought into the classroom and there were times I had to explain differences in our beliefs and that of his classmates and teachers but I viewed that as an opportunity to help him see other views and opinions. It opened good discussions for us. What was presented was straightforward and from the KJV of the Bible. I now have 2 children in SRCA and love
All of my children have graduated from Santa Rosa Christian School. They are successful and living a good life. The teachers are wonderful role models and they truly care for young people. One of my children just graduated from college and had no problems adjusting to a large school. Their grades in college are similar to what they were in college, so I feel that SRCS gave them a good foundation and helped develop them to work toward their potential.
the curriculum in no way hindered me going into public school [which i did thinking i would get more education & in reality got less] whenever i needed help i got it & we werent rushed through the curriculum. Bible classes were part of the curriculum but they never forced their beliefs in anyway. talking outside of class was never restricted though talking meanly about others [gossiping] was obviously not tolerated. & i know of no one that didnt have friends outside of school & they in no way extended their reach into the students lives after school. the principal is a woman so i highly doubt other reviewers accusations of women being made to submit is true, not to add my own 12 yr female experience there-i was always encouraged to participate. when i left i wasn't looked down upon and my time at SRCA will stay with me forever.
We were taught to not question authority. If I did raise a question, I became the problem. There was an increasing expectation of commitment and social isolation from others outside the program. We were taught obedience to authority in all circumstances. Secrecy was taught, to talk was to be a gossip. Criticized, judged, discounted. God and religious beliefs placed above family. Excessive devotion to children was seen as a form of idolatry. Women could not make a suggestion without being labeled unsubmissive. Everybody felt that this church/school was unique and that to leave would always be a step down spiritually.
This school has been a tremendous blessing to our family. Our children are very happy there and are receiving a wonderful education. The faculty truly has a heart for every child. I have home schooled and have had my children in another large, well known local Christian school only to find that SRCS has the best there is to offer. I sincerely trust this school with the education of my children and can highly recommend it to anyone desiring a quality Christian education for their children.
Poor level of education. One would expect their children to get some sort of quality education, but it is apparent that the quality of education is similar to sending your child to public school with prayer.
Kids are educated to have respect. The Bekan curriculum is a plus and outbids any other. The Gospel project offer all kinds of extra curricular activites to keep kids involved in sports. They offer eagle day activities (like field days) like 8 times a year so parents can be involved with the school.Highly recommended.
Level of academics is excellent. Need more parent involvement with the school.
As of the fall of 2005 the level of academics in middle school and above have been lowered. DVDs and video courses are used in the high school and middle school (grades 6-8) is kind of thrown together. There are regular appeals for donations above tuition although the school is on firm financial footing. There are no extra-curricular activities for high school other than a small choir.
I have been nothing but impressed with the level of education that my children have received at SRCA. The administration is actively involved in each classroom and the teaching staff goes above and beyond to help the children succeed. They genuinely care about their students. Their academic program is advanced, but not overwhelming to the new student. These teachers are not willing to let a child 'get by', they want them to excel. They will work with the student to find their strengths and needs. It has been my experience that the teachers keep a very open line of communication with the parents. I have never been 'surprised' when report cards were brought home, as the teachers have always kept me abreast of my child's progress. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to parents who want the highest level of academics possible for their child.
Excellent academic environment and very condusive to learning. Children receive an excellent education with emphasis on the basics, reading, writing and math. All around education including music and art as well as sports. Strong Geography and history and definitely prepares the young people for college. Teachers are very loving and caring. They carry through on the philosophy, 'A heart for every child.' Strong on discipline and parental involvement.

How To Generate Targeted Traffic With Guest Blogs
Doing Guest Blogging the Right Way
You can build make excellent contacts and build your business network with guest blogging. This practice is simple, and all you are doing is exchanging your content (and link) when it is posted on another blog – you get more traffic from it. You will not find this method to be saturated by any means, and the reason why is unknown to us. If you can guest blog on a high PR blog, then you can benefit from that in many ways.
Obviously your guest blog article must be of the highest quality and on a relevant topic. You do know that your reputation in your market will be affected by this, and that is why you simply must make it the best you can. Regardless of what you write on, just make sure all of your facts and such are totally spot on and accurate. Since you have a blog, then you should have a good idea of what would be a good topic and how to conduct yourself in your writing.
It's important to be smart without going over the top in your approach. While having links embedded in your post is not wrong, over-stuffing your article with links to your sites or affiliate products is wrong.
It's important to be ethical at a time like this and avoid promoting partners or using material that is copyrighted.

Putting Your Home up For Sale with Limited Funds – How To
Practical Methods for Home Selling on A Budget
When you look at how bad the economy continues to be, it's hard to sell a home unless you list it without little or no backing. But that does not mean there is nothing you can do to help get your house sold. You have the ability to spend time instead of money in order to sell your home if you have are short on funds. Being resourceful is crucial to this endeavor. If you are not a very creative person, then enlist the help of someone you know who is. You must understand that there all sorts of openings you can use to get the job done. You have to check out the areas within your home that could make it interesting to potential buyers and get their attention.
We have talked about the critical importance of the home exterior with creating positive first impressions. This is about home selling on a budget, so you won't be hiring professional landscapers. You could opt for mowing the lawn diagonally, as opposed to the typical vertical or horizontal path. This may seem like nothing and of little to no importance, but that would be incorrect. For starters, be careful with how short you trim the lawn because it can have an effect on the visual facade. On the contrary, a lawn that has been cut in a diagonal pattern will be more notable than other lawns. You will create an effect on people that will be a positive one and the lawn looks good when it's cut that way. Your walls cannot have any defects in them, such as gaping holes from big nails, etc. Hopefully you'll be able to freshen up your walls that need a new application of paint. Nevertheless, another little emotional ploy is to put away any personal photos. The explanation for this is that it moves your family out of the home and allows for another person to envision themselves living in your house. Hence the reason you should store all of your personal photos of friends of family. In fact, it is optimal to clear all walls of any posters or art that other people might consider odd. This has to do with giving the buyer a chance to envision the space, in their mind.
If you are able to afford it, pick up some new rugs for your bathroom and select lively colors. Use your best towels and make sure they are freshly washed and hanging. What you are trying to do is have a bathroom that is looks spotless and sparkling and has a nice scent and appearance. Breezy smelling candles can be placed in the bathroom, yet you need to make sure not to light them. If you have some and extra basket that is small, then you can make a lovely display, by placing some small towels and aromatic candles in it. All you need to do is roll up the small towels and mesh them in a nice manner with the candles. Pick up some yellow colored silk flowers and add them to the basket. You can successfully put your home up for sale even if you have an extremely limited budget if you do a lot of the improvements yourself. You need to be conscious of the many things around a home that would be of particular interest to a potential buyer. With these facts, you will have the information necessary to put your home on the market with eventual success.
You will find even more relevant knowledge on handling with real estate sales. Instead you can check out this Portal Site.

It won't make for a happy house, or gain you a loving caring relationship with anyone with any self respect, so I'd say no, bad idea. Try showing the positive emotions more, and don't suppress anger, but control it (instead of letting it control you) and relieve your anger in positive ways. Like physical exertion.
Bad way to go. It creates a crazy amount of imbalance both emotionally and psychologically. You should express all of your emotions, whether they are good or bad. Enjoy being human, it's what you are after all.
I grew up watching Star Trek reruns, and I have to admit I admired Spock's choice of logic over emotions. But that definitely must include anger. Why suppress all the others and not anger, which is arguably the most destructive and dangerous one?

What do you usually use?
[This message edited by Dark Inertia at 1:29 PM, August 5th (Monday)]
I too pay it off 100% every month, generally the same day the statement comes. I've never carried a balance.
I don't think credit is a good choice for everyone though. You have to be disciplined and self aware.
I personally burn through cash because once it's out of the ATM, it's already "gone" in my mind.
6 Furkids - 4 dogs, 2 cats
WXH (serial cheater, 12+ OW) - Legally married 18yrs
I edit often for clarity.
I use credit for online purchases, but pay balance in full every month.
Debit puts me at too much risk; I do not have a debit card.
Credit for 95%; cash for the rest (mostly just the farmer's market)
This ^^^. Paid in full every month and I'm on my way to racking up enough points for three business-class flights overseas....
After being house-poor and constantly into the line of credit for renovations before selling the House of Pain, I never want to go there again.
I track every penny in Excel including cash outlays which I write down on a note carried in my wallet.
[This message edited by FaithFool at 4:00 PM, August 5th (Monday)]
Trust is like paper. Once it's crumpled it can never be perfect again.
"I could have missed the pain, but I would have had to miss the dance." Garth Brooks
secret is paying full balance every month= NO INTEREST charges!!!
..cash reserved for very small purchses and 'garage sales'..
..credit cards are evil if you don't pay them fully, interest is insane.. 21% is NUTS!!!
..shopping thrift stores saves huge dollars too..
I only use my debit card at the ATM for cash.
Revolving CC debt was a big sticking point in my D.....
[This message edited by Dark Inertia at 5:23 PM, August 5th (Monday)]
Credit card for internet purchases.
Cash at the farmer's market. Very rarely for anything else.
I was exclusively debit for a long time. With the start of the new year, I started the envelope method of budgeting and using exclusively cash (well, mostly cash. I don't stick to my budget as well when I'm on vacation ). Using that method has saved me nearly $2000 since January.
Then debit for gas and other smaller purchases. Grocery shopping is sometimes cash and sometimes debit.
Credit card for all online purchases and larger purchases.
We just bought a brand new car with CASH. Yep we saved until we had the money to buy it.
No car loan for me!
I got in trouble with credit when I was 19...I'm 37 and am STILL trying to build my credit back up. I just got 2 of my cards paid off..have 2 more to go.
IF I ever use credit again it will be for emergencies. Like unexpected car repairs.

We've heard of female kickers trying to make it in college football and no one is trying to make it as close to the pros as possible. New York native Lauren Silberman will make history on March 2nd when she becomes the first female to ever participate in a regional NFL Draft Combine. Silberman said she wasn't aware that she was the first female to ever apply and try out at an NFL combine but she's more than thrilled to be doing so.
Unfortunately, even if she ends up being the best kicking prospect since Sebastian Janikowski, an NFL team is not going to pick her and it's a crying shame. Distraction, sideshow and publicity stunt are likely all descriptions that will be used to describe a team that drafts or even signs Silberman if she impresses at the combine.
The prospect of a female playing in the NFL is something that excites a lot of people as the gender barrier is something that has yet to be broken through. For years the defense has been that keeping women off the gridiron is "for their own good" which is a ridiculously sexist thing to even think. Women are not timid, fragile creatures — have you ever watched an episode of Mob Wives or any of those Real Housewives shows?
Keeping women away from any type of football that requires them to prance around in their underwear for the amusement of lazy, fat and drunken men is one of the black eyes on professional sports and it needs to change. Should we open up the flood gates and let every women who wants to try out: why the hell not?
Think about the sports where women are allowed to be featured as prominently as men. When it comes down to it, people apparently are only comfortable with allowing women to plays pro sports if it's a niche sport like soccer or any of the extreme sports like snowboarding or skiing as when it comes to every popular sport in America, women are forced into leagues of their own.
When does the segregation end; segregation kept Josh Gibson, perhaps the greatest ballplayer to ever live, out of the majors and therefore out of the running for all the records he holds. Who's to say we've had generations of women come and go who could have held their own against the greats of our past, but we'll never know since the idea of women playing with men is still for some reason unorthodox.
[READ: Lauren Silberman will Become First Female Kicker to Participate in NFL Combine]
So a woman gets chop-blocked or she gets flattened on an illegal hit, who cares? Have you seen these women during bridal sales, Ray Lewis couldn't even stop one of them from getting what they want.
Women deserved to be cuddled, not coddled like they can't watch out for themselves. We have women in political power in this country, so why can't we have them on the gridiron or on the diamond or even on the hardwood.
If a woman isn't cut out for a sport, she's not going to rise up high enough to get an opportunity. They shouldn't be cut any breaks but they also shouldn't be blocked either.
It's incredibly liberal and politically correct to want women to play in sports with men and some people will always be uncomfortable with it. But people were uncomfortable with African-American's playing major league baseball and look how stupid of a notion that turned out to be. Basically, it's 2013 but a woman can bake a pie, run a company, be a politician or even an NFL owner but she can't play professional sports with men.
Silberman has a chance to bring this issue into the forefront of people's minds and it's about time that it's been done. Before Silberman, even the most talented female athlete saw her potential realized at the collegiate level. She might not make a team and she might not even make it to the super-regionals, but we have a woman trying out for the NFL next month and the only laughable thing about it is that it took until 2013 to have it be done.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and yesterday's game I decided to devote my Thanksgiving article to what the Big Blue Nation should be thankful for this season.
First, our football coaching staff. While they haven't had quite the season anyone had hoped, I love their mentality. They make no excuses for any shortcomings, they don't let the players do whatever they want and they're building the foundation for a solid football program here at Kentucky.
Second, our football recruits. These recruits are going to make a difference in a couple years. Seeing them stay committed through a 2-9 season says a lot about their attitude and character and how determined they are, along with the coaches, to turn this thing around. On top of their personalities, they're pretty good. Look for several of them to be playing in the Army All-American game come January. 5 of these guys have already enrolled for spring classes at UK and will be working out with the team starting in January and will be ready to go come spring ball and Stoops said there could be more coming.
Another reason to be thankful, it's basketball season. It's no secret that Kentucky is a basketball school and we all live and breathe basketball here in the Bluegrass. We get to watch another star-studded team compete for what could end up as a national title run and just last night we got to watch the Cats get their 500th win in Rupp on the 37th anniversary of its opening, special stuff. This is a special team and though they're not where they should be right now, they're going to be a ton of fun to watch.
We should be thankful that Calipari dismissed the Knicks rumors. Seems like everyt ime they do poorly or we do well these rumors start off. Cal dismissed them in a press conference last week. Watch here.
The last reason every Kentucky fan should be thankful this year: We aren't Louisville fans. Between the Chane and Kevin Ware drama I'm EXTRA thankful, personally. They may be reining national champions, but I'll still take my blue any day. #L1CausingProblems
We should be thankful for the way this football program is headed and that basketball is being restored to its rightful glory after last season. On behalf of the WBN, I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving and lets beat Tennessee Saturday!

In order to undertake the techno-economic appraisal of major projects and programmes in the public sector for facilitating the investment decision by the Government, a separate Division known as 'Project Appraisal Division' was set up in the Planning Commission in 1972.
It was reconstituted as Project Appraisal and Management Division (PAMD) on 6th January, 1994. The PAMD undertakes appraisal of Central Sector projects and schemes in consultation with the subject divisions of the Planning Commission before these are considered for investment approval/decision by the Public Investment Board or Expenditure Finance Committee depending upon the size and nature of project cost. Presently, all the Central Sector Projects / Schemes costing Rs.100 crore or more are appraised by this Division. Projects of Ministry of Railways costing Rs.300 crore and above are appraised by PAMD.
The appraisal by PAMD broadly includes need and justification for the project/scheme, linkages with the Plan, Demand Supply, Technical Feasibility, Organisational, Managerial and Financial capabilities of Project Authorities, reliability of cost estimates, financial and economic viability etc. of the projects/schemes. Besides, new proposals, the proposals of the revised cost estimates are also appraised by PAMD.

Ms. Mulciber, the only Mulciber, in June 1998, after the death of her last relatives, found herself upended and dragged across the sea. And for what?
Three vaults, which only just covered the various punitive Ministry levees, not to mention the cut the goblins took, for reasons indecipherable. A large house in the country with the roof falling in, home to several colonies of mice and snakes. Paintings of uncles and aunts and unnamed fat infants with tufts of golden hair, odd tweezers and old combs, candelabra rusted over with age. Seventeen goblets, twenty-five cups, twenty plates, sixteen forks, nine spoons, twenty-six knives, and a teakettle. A photo album: the snapshots of brief, inconsequential, forgotten moments. Books no one wanted to read, the magical census of 1744, snapped quills and putrid-smelling tins of Sleekeazy's. A jar of boomslang skin. Four Slytherin ties, a Hufflepuff tie, and the collected works of Mr. Cantankerus Nott. A music box which would not work, some bed frames she could sell for Knuts, the contents of an Azkaban prisoner's box. Three ruby hair pins, six pewter cauldrons, one broken broomstick, and every issue Witch Weekly had ever published. A set of magical dentures. A child's rattle.
All hers, or so the solicitor had written, unless she should choose to ignore them, the way her father had ignored his birthright and brothers, and shipped off for more temperate climes.
Of course, in that case there would be a substantial increase in the death taxes.
So to England came Ms. Mulciber, on that balmy June, 1998, to stare about at all the treasures of the Mulciber name, all that remained after her esteemed Mulciber forefathers had gone to their rest, the sole testament to their lives.
What junk, she thought. And she thought of life and death, and of all the many odds and ends she had accumulated in her own lodgings back home. She sold the pins, kept the photos, binned the rest, and politely declined the invitations from grieving persons like Notts and Parkinsons, persons who had known such-and-such Mulciber. Then she went home. To live.
Someday someone would be coming along to catalogue her, too.
