Answer from: mountainsidemom
If you get two of the same kind of icon stacked on top of the upper pepper piece and the same one right beside it, you can switch the pepper piece with the one on the side to get it in the column that is free at the bottom, so it can slide out eventually.

What's that? Is that…. yes, yes it is. It's sadness. I actually felt sadness the day that Holden went to drop a deuce and said he didn't need me to wipe his butt anymore. I'd been waiting for that day for YEARS, because wiping someone else's poop off of their ass is not at all enjoyable, and here it was, and I was… SAD?! Are you KIDDING me? The relief I felt when I realized that I hadn't lost my damn mind and was just feeling sadness over my baby growing up and losing one more thing that he'd always needed my help with was enormous.
THANK YOU, SWEET BABY JESUS!! I'm not gonna have to go on "My Strange Addiction" as a weirdo who can't stop wiping poo!
Poop is great and all, it can really turn around a crappy day (I can't help it!) but it's not really my thing. I don't even have a thing- but let's get back to the point. I think one of the worst parts about parenthood has to be watching your children grow up, even though you love watching them grow up, you hate it. It sucks. It sounds insane, but that's basically what parenthood is- a constant state of total delusion and insanity.
NO! My baby CAN'T be growing up! It's happening too fast!
Everybody warned you that would happen, but you didn't listen, now did you?
The end of Mommy butt wiping days for Holden has long since passed, and so have many others. He doesn't need me to rock him to sleep, or help brush his teeth anymore (though I still do sometimes. No cavities, damnit!) He doesn't need me to read to him, but he still humors me. He doesn't need me to hold his hand while crossing a street, but much to his chagrin, I still insist. He doesn't need me to help him get dressed, or tie his shoes, or button his jacket.
He DOESN'T NEED ME. Those words are like a kick to the gut. Even though we all KNEW the day would come where they grew up, Mommy became Mom, and their world stopped revolving around us- we never wanted to accept it as a reality.
I know that I have a long way to go, but it's hard not to think about when they grow so damn fast. Haven't we all thought- what the hell am I going to do the day my kids don't need me at ALL anymore?
You wiped their butts, their tears, tended to their wounds. You sang them to sleep, gave them tough love, and stayed strong through their sicknesses and tantrums (most of the time, anyway). What do we do when all of that is gone? When they don't need their Mommy anymore?
Without a shadow of a doubt- I can tell you that day will never come. It will never happen! They will ALWAYS need you- hopefully not to wipe their butts (though I'm sure you'd oblige if they really needed you to).
How does someone with a 6 and 4 year old know this? As someone who lost their mother as a teen, I can tell you that no matter how old I get, there are things that no one else in my life can do except my mom. Advice that no one else but her can give, words that no one else can say, questions that only she can answer. She left a spot that can NEVER be filled, no matter how long she's been gone- because as many times as I yelled at her that she just didn't understand me- she knew me better than anyone else.
As our children (gulp) grow up, the need for us doesn't go away- it changes.
Mommy never becomes obsolete.
Mommy's never go out of style!
We're the LBD of the world.
…………………………. But, I still have this issue, when I know my kiddo can do for himself…. and I just want to keep doing it….
Now.. He wants to help me put away dishes and cut up veggies… and set tables…
I love the help… But, I feel… like you… weird by it. I'm the Mama… I'm supposed to DO for YOU!
Beautifully written. Couldn't agree more.

|Breaston out to prove he's more than kick returner
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 02 October 2008 16:12
The speedster from Michigan has carved out a significant role as kick returner for the Arizona Cardinals. With Anquan Boldin probably out for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, Breaston moves into the starting lineup at wide receiver.
It's his biggest opportunity yet to prove himself at the position he loves.
``It means a lot. I really feel that receiver is my primary position,'' Breaston said after Thursday's practice. ``I just want to prove a lot of people wrong.''
Breaston was a fifth-round pick, the 142nd player drafted, in 2007. Everyone knew he was fast - he's the Big Ten career leader in punt return yardage - but teams doubted that he could make it as a receiver.
As a rookie, he won the kick return job, and amassed a combined 1,786 return yards, fourth-most in franchise history. His 73-yard return for a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers was the first by a Cardinals' rookie since 1986.
n was scarce, though, since the Cardinals had Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and Bryant Johnson ahead of him. Breaston caught eight passes for 92 yards.
Johnson left via free agency after last season, and the No. 3 receiver job was the most competitive fight of Arizona's training camp. Breaston emerged the leader, and has made the most of his opportunities.
``He had a good spring. He had a good camp. He's worked very hard,'' coach Ken Whisenhunt said. ``He was the guy that really stood out. It's not surprising he carried it over.''
In last week's 56-35 loss to the New York Jets, Breaston caught nine passes for 122 yards, both by far his career bests. Including kickoff and punt returns, his combined yardage of 324 was a franchise record.
``In the first half, I don't know how many big opportunities he had. It seemed like they were kicking off all the time,'' Fitzgerald said. ``He just kept coming no matter what. Guys were hitting him in the mouth, he gets up and comes back and does the two-minute (drill). Steve has really come such a long way. I'm just happy for him.''
Breaston has watched the way Boldin and Fitzgerald, with two Pro Bowl appearances apiece, go about their job.
es their game a lot better.''
As for those who doubted him and passed him by on draft day, Breaston figures he's only beginning to show them just how wrong they were.
``I do have a chip on my shoulder,'' the soft-spoken receiver said, ``just to go out there and try to be a receiver, and a good receiver. Like I said from day one last year, I just want to keep progressing, go forward, don't go backward with my play.''

'AHS: Freak Show' Exclusive: Watch Evan Peters perform Nirvana's 'Come As You Are'
Last night was a wild American Horror Story: Freak Show, to say the least. Not only did we witness the death of—SPOILER ALERT—tiny Ma Petite, but we were also treated to Freak Show's latest musical number: Evan Peters' Jimmy Darling tried his hand at singing Nirvana's "Come As You Are." Elsa (Jessica Lange) wasn't too impressed…but we were. EW has the exclusive performance from last night's Freak Show below. READ FULL STORY
VH1's 'Hindsight' brings it back to the '90s
The '90s might be over, but they live on in VH1's upcoming Hindsight.
The series, which premieres on Jan. 7, 2015, follows Becca (Laura Ramsey), a thirtysomething who's about to get married for the second time—until she wakes up on her first wedding day, in 1995.
Below, watch an exclusive first-look video full of '90s references; think Say Anything, Walkman music players, and Ace of Base's "I Saw the Sign." READ FULL STORY
First look image at BBC America's 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell'
BBC America released a first look image for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, a seven-part original drama series based on the bestselling novel by British author Susanna Clarke, premiering in 2015. The series, set in a reimagined 19th century England, was adapted to the screen by Peter Harness (Wallander, Is Anybody There?) and directed by Toby Haynes (Dr. Who). It stars Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan, The World's End) as Jonathan Strange and Bertie Carvel (Les Misérables, Matilda) as Mr Norrell.
The Hugo Award-winning novel, named Time's Novel of the Year when it was published in 2004, offers a fantastical alternate history of England during the Napoleonic wars—one in which practical magic, revered but thought to have died out, is brought back by the titular pair. Jonathan Strange contains elements of Romance and Gothic literature, as well as fantasy and historical fiction. BBC America sets up the plot for us in the press release:
"The reclusive Mr Norrell (Marsan) of Hurtfew Abbey stuns the city of York when he causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. With a little persuasion and help from his man of business Childermass (Enzo Cilenti), he goes to London to help the government in the war against Napoleon. It is there Norrell summons a fairy ([Marc] Warren) to bring Lady Pole ([Alice] Englert) back from the dead, opening a whole can of worms…"

Nicholas Brendon is heading to Hester High, and EW has the exclusive first look.
'AHS: Freak Show' First Look: See Evan Peters singing Nirvana's 'Come As You Are'
Some of American Horror Story: Freak Show's most talked-about moments this season have been the Baz Luhrmann-esque musical numbers, like Jessica Lange's cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" or Sarah Paulson's version of Fiona Apple's "Criminal." Another major modern artist is covered in tonight's installment of AHS—Evan Peters, who plays Jimmy Darling, croons Nirvana's classic "Come As You Are." It's part of a crucial episode for Jimmy (and for Peters, who's excellent) as well as Michael Chiklis' Dell Toledo.
And there's more music to come: Kathy Bates—yes Kathy Bates—will be doing Hole's "Doll Parts" in an upcoming episode. As Ryan Murphy explained to EW, "We decided we only were going to highlight musical artists who at some point in their career had identified themselves as feeling like freaks or misfits or outcasts, which our people are going through."
American Horror Story: Freak Show airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX.
'Parenthood' First Look: Mark Cyr reconnects with Sarah
For Parenthood's Sarah Braverman, finding the right guy hasn't been easy. First, there was Seth, Drew and Amber's absentee father who left Sarah alone to raise their kids. And after Seth, there were really only two other serious relationships for Sarah: Mark, and now, Hank.
Parenthood fans know both of them well. Sarah was engaged to Mark before eventually choosing Hank. But now that she and Hank are back together—and dealing with life with Hank's daughter, Ruby—what will Mark's return mean for the couple? READ FULL STORY
'The Originals: The Awakening' first look: Kol wakes up in New Orleans
The role of youngest Original sibling is currently being played by Daniel Sharman on The Originals, but for longtime fans of the Original family, they'll remember back when Kol was a little more into biting necks than casting a spell. And it's that version of Kol, played by Nathaniel Buzolic, that we're going to see in the upcoming Kol-centric web series, The Originals: The Awakening.
In the four-part web series, which centers around Kol, we will find the Original in the French Quarter, only this time, it's 1914 and he's trying to form an alliance with the witches. According to The CW, "Fans will learn how and why Kol found himself in opposition to his vampire siblings, why he was daggered, and the unique back story he has with the witches." The series will run parallel to the storyline of The Originals and will tie into the mid-season finale on Monday, Dec. 8.
For now, here's an exclusive first look at the first segment of The Originals: The Awakening, in which Kol's story begins.
'How to Get Away with Murder' exclusive: See Annalise confront Sam
We're still talking about the final moments of last week's How to Get Away with Murder. In a stunning climax, Annalise (the brilliant Viola Davis) sat at her vanity, removed all of her make-up (and her wig), then confronted her husband, Sam (Tom Verica), with this now-famous line, "Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone?" And now EW has exclusive video of what happens next.
To get all the answers (sorta!), check out the scene from tonight's highly anticipated episode, airing at 10 p.m. ET on ABC: READ FULL STORY
'Empire' exclusive: Watch the teaser for Fox's new hip-hop musical drama
One of the most anticipated and ambitious series of 2015 is Fox's Empire.

Henson) for control of their massively successful company. Watch the new teaser exclusively on EW: READ FULL STORY
Watch the first clip from Doug Benson's 'Doug Dynasty' Netflix special
Sure, original series like House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black get all the digital ink, but Netflix's strongest original programming lies in the incredible string of stand-up specials the service has premiered. Like HBO or Comedy Central before them, Netflix has become an outlet for long-form comedy for both established names (Aziz Ansari, Chelsea Handler, Marc Maron) and up-and-comers (Moshe Kasher, Jim Jeffries).
Add comic and compulsive podcaster Doug Benson to that list of talent. His new special, Doug Dynasty, will be premiering on Netflix on Nov. 6. If you know Benson, it's either because you listen to one of his many EW-approved podcasts (including Doug Loves Movies and Getting Doug With High) or because you loved his fantastically funny film Super High Me. (He has also made a habit out of being one of the dominant panelists on @midnight.) READ FULL STORY
Ryan Murphy debuts creepy, stop-motion 'AHS: Freak Show' main titles
American Horror Story mastermind Ryan Murphy delivered a surprise for fans today: He debuted the Freak Show main titles on his Twitter feed. Different from previous years, the credits are all stop-motion animation and give the AHS theme music a slight circus twist. They're stunning—somewhat reminiscent of A Nightmare Before Christmas. The elaborate opener is not surprising given that Murphy has said that this is AHS' biggest year yet. READ FULL STORY
'CSI' First Look: Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays twins in the premiere
When news broke that Mark-Paul Gosselaar would be guest-starring on the season 15 premiere of CSI not once, but twice, fans immediately had questions. And now, we have (at least physical) answers.
We've got an exclusive first look at Gosselaar's time on the show, during which he plays twins Jared Briscoe and Paul Winthrop. And as the photos illustrate, one of the twins is more of the murdering type, while the other is described as a "pillar of the community who insists on his brother's innocence," according to CBS.

Inside the large and loungy space of Anchor and Anvil Coffee Bar, visitors sip on fresh-brewed coffees from camping mugs decorated with anchors. Folks can grab their fresh-baked pastries to go or stay awhile at one of the tables or easy chairs. The new coffee shop has quickly become a neighborhood staple for more than just a cup of joe. People also pop in for artisanal teas, freshly-built sandwiches, and quirkily themed specials, such as Bastille Day scones.
More than 50 loose-leaf teas line the shelves at Iris & Ivory Teahouse & Cafe. To provide suitable pairings for these brews?which range in flavor from subtle and earthy to fruity and complex?the caf? serves traditional accompaniments, including quiche and made-from-scratch scones with lemon curd and devonshire cream. An array of house-made sandwiches, such as cranberry-chicken salad and roast beef with wasabi-horseradish mayo, round out the menu. The teahouse also holds special-event dinners and formal teas in its lushly appointed Iris Room.
The skilled aestheticians at Aniko's Hungarian Skin Care and Spa tend to the skin, hair, and soul with a variety of beautifying services. Nourish the face without bathing it in a bowl of goulash with the restorative 30-minute Light Me Up facial, which employs Éminence organic skin products to exfoliate, massage, mask, and moisturize vexed visages (a $50 value). Dried-out pouts can soak in the three-step lip treatment, which refines the kissers with fruit enzymes, hydrates them with an extra-rich mask, and plumps each with a minty collagen balm. A brow wax tidies and shapes over-eye arches, resulting in refined looks of surprise when cast as the face double for an incredulous movie star (a $25 value).
Though Moon Flight Car Wash and Coffee might seem like an unusual assemblage of businesses, its mission is clear: to offer clients fast, efficient services that don't require them to leave their vehicles. Customers can cruise through an automated car wash, pick out their favorite drinks and treats from a drive-thru café menu, and finally have that car-horn honk-off they've always been meaning to do. For night owls, Moon Flight's self-serve washes are open 24 hours a day, and the coffee shop serves Kiva Han Coffee and Enrico Biscotti starting in the early hours of the morning.
Pets also can receive a cleaning in one of Moon Flight's self-service dog-wash rooms, which are stocked with two shampoo formulas, skunk-odor remover, conditioner, and a blow dryer. Left smelling fresher than a rose auditioning for the lead role in a bouquet, well-behaved dogs can trot over to the drive-thru window to receive a free treat.
When guests walk into the bright blue confines of Square Caf?, they find owner Sherree Goldstein and her friendly crew serving up smiles and steaming cups of custom-blended Kiva Han coffee. Preparing eclectic breakfast and lunch dishes, chefs crack shells for three-egg omelets, green eggs and ham with homemade pesto, and form their own housemade veggie burgers. Attentive servers endlessly refill freshly brewed ice tea and help health-savvy diners find the best menu options. Inside, colorful local artwork fuels discussions about which colors deserve to be primary, and on the sidewalk patio, diners can scan the street for signs of Square Caf?'s vegetable-oil-powered Mercedes.
Gayot proclaimed Square Caf? a "vibrant eatery," describing the "generously portioned, cooked-to-order breakfast and lunch items on huge square plates." In addition to the well-crafted eats, the staff's energy and enthusiasm keep the caf?'s sizeable crowd of regulars coming back?the manager, Kevin, even sports a Square Caf? tattoo as evidence.

Hi. I'm 9 days late on my period (counting today 11/18) I was expecting it on sat 11/10/12 and nothing. As of right now I'm experiencing tender breasts/nipples, occasional nausea (no vomiting), mild cramping, feel tired. Took two home pregnancy tests and both were negative (took one on fri 11/16(night)-11/17(morning). Right now I'm just waiting a couple of more days to test. Has anyone had this happen to them before and end up pregnant?! Thank in advance for your time!
Your advice

Everyones body is different, some are slow some are fast, I would just wait 2 to 3 days and take another hpt and if it's still negative then you should call your doctor and get a blood test done, I know with my second pregnancy it didn't take long at all but with my third it took a little but longer.

Thank you. Yes Im just trying to be a little more patient and not buy all the pharmacy hpt just yet lol. It's just so frustrating the WAIT! We've been trying for about 1yr now soo I'm hoping this is our time :)

I think it is a good idea that you are taking another test in a couple more days. I would suggest getting a really sensitive test like first response. I have used those both pregnancies and I got a positive very early. But no I have never taken negative tests and then been pregnant. My first pregnancy I took when I was 9 days late and I got a positive. This pregnancy I took the test when I was only 7 days late and got a postive. Like I said I would suggest getting the sensitive tests and if they show up negative it is a good chance that you are not pregnant. Good Luck. hope u get the result you're looking for.

I used first response for both the times I tested. I read on some other forums and they state that the hcg hormone levels may still be to low for a hpt to read it. Some people said they tested neg on hpt until they did a blood test. As of today (day 10) still no AF. I'm going to wait till Wednesday to retest ::crossing fingers::

Transform your business overnight with this revolutionary technique and challenge!
(What started out as simple blog post, has now become a Movement!
This technique and challenge is guaranteed to increase your income and help re-frame how you view rejection instantly! No longer will you feel uncomfortable when you get a "No," now you'll celebrate it!
Before you're even done with the "100 No's Challenge" you'll start to notice that:
- You're no longer scared of rejection and you look forward to getting it!
- You're turning into a fearless prospecting machine!
- You're no longer intimidated about talking to people you once were scared to approach!
- No's seem to bounce off you like bullets off Superman's chest!
- You're enjoying yourself and your business a whole lot more!
- Your comfort zone has stretched wider and faster than you ever imagined!
- You have a new fun, non-threatening approach to contact people you were previously afraid to call!
- Your activity is going through the roof and you have more prospects "in play" than ever before!
- More people are interested in your opportunity and are saying "Yes" than you had expected!
- Prospects will know that you are genuinely unconcerned if they're not interested, and that gives you a position of strength that creates a natural "take-away" attitude. This no pressure approach is irresistible. Your prospects will listen with interest and many will say "Yes"!
Watch this video to learn about the "100 No's Mindset" & Challenge Details!
If you would like to use this video to introduce the "100 No's Challenge" to others, or as a tool to ask someone to be one of you "No's", simply copy and paste the following link in an Email, IM, or on your Facebook wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8b8oO_9Gmk
Before we get to the "100 No's Challenge" there are a few things you should know.
Every top producer in any sales related company will tell you that everything you do in your sales process earns you money, and you can't get to a "Yes" without going through several "No's".
Most people don't like to hear the word "No" as it conjures up feelings of personal rejection and is associated with a loss of income. This is a completely invalid association. Let me first debunk these two common myths, and then give you a few tools, and the 100 No's challenge details, so you can start right away to change your mindset and business immediately.
Myth Number 1. When someone says "No" they're rejecting you.
When someone says "No" to you, they're not really rejecting you, but your offer or opportunity. In many cases a prospect's "No" doesn't mean "No, I'm not interested, or, am never going to buy or join," but may mean "Not now" or maybe "Know" As in, "I don't 'KNOW' enough to say Yes yet, try another angle".
Either way, don't beat yourself up about it. Don't allow someone's lack of value perception affect you personally. It's kind of like the time your sweetheart broke up with you and used the cliche' break up line: "It's not you, it's me!" (HahahHa!) I know, I know, that was corny comedy, but it's just like that, and because it's corny, you'll remember it and chuckle the next time someone tells you "No." You'll know they really just said, "It's not you, it's me!"
Myth Number 2. You only get paid for getting a "Yes."
Most people in sales falsely think that you only get paid when you get a "Yes" to close the deal. This is totally inaccurate backwards thinking. You don't get paid for getting a Yes anymore than a salaried employee gets a weekly paycheck for what he or she did on that payday. The payday is always based on all the activity of the preceding week!
The incorrect assumption that sales people only get paid for hearing the word "Yes" to "close someone" is why so many people fear going into sales, and why so many have "approach anxiety." Approach anxiety and nervousness exists because people focus on whether a prospect says Yes or No. The truth is, it doesn't matter what they say because you get paid either way! Let me explain.
In sales, although it seems like you only get rewarded and paid on the final step of your sales process (The Close) you really don't. The final "Yes" is the natural progression of the preceding steps of your sales process. If you had missed any one crucial step such as 'Approaching or Prospecting that person' or 'Following up on them' you never would've gotten that final "Yes" and that final commission. Every step in your sales process earns you money including the "No's" you had to go through to get to that eventual "Yes."
Here's a mathematical example that proves this point:
If you expose 110 people to your offer and 100 people say "No," but 10 say "Yes," and your total commission from the people who purchased was $1000, then here's how you'd calculate what your No's were worth.
Commission/No's = Income per "No"
$1000/100 = $10 therefore, each time someone said "No," you earned $10!
Here's a screen shot of what this looks like fully broken down on a free website called ActivityTracker.com. This is a much more detailed break down of the overall activity. You can see in this picture that it shows the ratios, percentages, and dollar amounts earned per activity. Notice how the calculations for Dollars Earned per "No" equals $10 just as in the example above.

Wow, what a revolutionary way to look at getting "No's!"
Think about it, you get paid to have people tell you "No!" Now that you realize this, what in the world are you waiting for?! Go out there and see how many "No's" you can get! Each time someone tells you "No," you should be hearing the "Cha-Ching" sound of a cash register! Move quickly on to hear more. This is a philosophy that can be summed up in my favorite quote of all time. . . because it's mine: "Tell me Yes, tell me No, but tell me quick, 'cause I gotta go!"
From now on, don't worry about getting Yeses, or about having the perfect approach, or of saying all the right things, just go out there and focus on hugely increasing your activity to see how many people you can get to tell you "No." Sales is a numbers game, if you shift your thinking to focus on exposures, instead of trying to get "Yeses," your anxiety will drop, you'll be more relaxed, less emotional, you'll have more fun, and the Yeses will come as a natural result of you exposing more people.
As my incredibly wise mentor Mr. Larry Gregory once told me, when he was first schooling me on the Law of Averages: "You can't say the right thing to the wrong people, and you can't say the wrong thing to the right people, so just go out there, be busy, and talk to more people!"
So here's my gift to help you put this new philosophy into practice!
The 100 No's Challenge!
The 100 No's Challenge is a game that you can play alone or with others. The results you will get from stepping up to the challenge in this game will absolutely amaze you!
Here's how it works:
Included below is a sheet document called the "100 No's List." That sheet has 100 boxes in it. Your goal is to fill them with the names of everyone you properly expose to your product, service, or opportunity, who tells you "No." Your goal is to fill up that sheet with 100 "No's" as fast as humanly possible! It may take days, weeks, or months, but regardless of how long it takes, make a commitment right now that you'll start and finish the game!
Step #1) Print out the following 3 documents.
1) Full Contact Sheet "100 Names List"
Use this generic contact sheet to write the names of everyone you know or meet. Writing down a list of your contacts is the first step in any and every business. You don't need these people to say "Yes," or to be interested in what you're doing, you just need to inform them of your opportunity. If they're not interested after you've exposed them, they'll count as one of your "Qualified No's" but may end up being a great source of referrals. (Print several copies of this sheet, your goal should be to get over 100 names on these sheets.)

2) The Memory Joggers Sheet
This sheet is designed to help you grow your contact list by leaps and bounds! If you take the time to go through this Memory Joggers Sheet, you'll be blown away by how many more names you add to your Contact Sheets. Although you many not know all the numbers of the people who come to mind, write their names on your list anyway and worry about getting the numbers later. For now just focus on getting a long hefty list.

3) The "100 No's List"
This is where you'll list your "Qualified No's." Once you've fully and properly exposed someone, are done following up with them because you're convinced that their final answer is "No," then you place them on this list.

Step #2) Familiarize yourself with the Rules.
Here are the rules for the 100 No's Challenge:
- Operate with an integrity first mindset. Don't cheat yourself or others. Judging is typically done on the honor system or by random verification. Whichever way you choose to operate, don't do anything that could be perceived as cheating in any way.
- Include first and last names on the sheet. Especially if you're competing against others. That way in competition, "No's" can be verified if need be. You should also squeeze the date in the box if possible (Ex. John Doe 2/25). We realize the boxes aren't that big and everybody's handwriting is different, so if yours is so big that you can't fit a person's full name and date in the boxes then fine, but you most certainly should want to.
- You have to start fresh. Only "No's" from the present and future count. No back dating the sheet or writing down "No's" from past exposures.
- Fill in the "Red Starred Boxes" with six figure earners only. On the 100 No's List you'll see 12 boxes are highlighted in red and have little * stars in them. Those boxes must contain names of people who told you "No," and who currently earn a six figure or more income. (In many cases this will help you to stretch your comfort zone.) If you don't know many people in that income bracket, get referrals. Ask friends: "Who do you know earns six-figures?"
- Start immediately! No lolly-gagging! As soon as you print the sheet the race has begun! Write down the starting date and go! Move as fast as you possibly can. This is a game of speed.
- You must do a proper and full exposure using a 3rd party tool. Examples of 3rd party tools or acceptable exposures include, but are not limited to: Pre-recorded presentation calls (sizzle calls), Website presentations, Sit downs with a Flipchart, Live Events, DVD video presentations. . . etc. that the prospect actually watched.
- Only "Qualified No's" count. Just telling someone about your offer or opportunity doesn't count. For a "No" to be eligible for your list, the prospect must have reviewed something and then said "No." This is a great rule, because some people will review the information just to be one of your "Qualified No's" but may like what they see and say "Yes."
- People on the fence who haven't made a decision yet, don't count. If someone hasn't quite said "No" or said "Yes," then they are "on the fence" and don't count for anything. Get those thinkers off the fence and into a category ASAP! Yes or No. If it's a Yes they buy, if it's a No, they're on your No's list. If they're pending, they do nothing for you. Move them to the next exposure as soon as possible, and continue doing so until they give a final decision that puts them into a category.
- You can say whatever you want. For example, you can say in your approach: "Hey Mr. Prospect, I'm a part of a contest right now where I get paid to have 100 people tell me they're not interested in buying what I'm selling, or in getting involved with what I'm doing. I'm hoping I could stop by and give you a quick presentation to see if you might be one of my 'No's." This is TOTALLY Acceptable and is a great approach! You can take your "100 No's List" and show it to confirm what you've said. Once your presentation is done, have them put their name on your list.
**Bonus Video #2** To help you in your race we've made a video that you can post on your Facebook wall, in messages, or in emails, that will do the above mentioned approach for you!
This video will have prospects contacting you asking if they can help you out with your challenge by being one of your "No's"
If you like this video you can copy and paste the following link onto your Facebook wall and the video will automatically embed and play right from Facebook. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViFF8GcmCKM

Step #3) Follow these tips.
- How to get someone who isn't interested to take a look. If someone tells you "No, I'm not interested" before you get a chance to go into any details, it doesn't count as a "Qualified No." So if that happens, reply with something like: "Great! It's OK if you're not interested, this company pays me each time someone reviews what I have to show them and says "No." I'm in a competition to see who can get to 100 No's fastest. Would you do me a huge favor? Check out what we do anyway, then say "No" again, I can then officially get credit for the "No." Put them on a sizzle call, on a website or find a way to do a full exposure and presentation. You'll be surprised how many of these avid "No's" turn into "Yeses" once they've reviewed what you have to show them.
- Use any scripts and approaches your leadership instructs you to use. Consider the scripts and approaches mentioned on this website as extra tools in your arsenal. The "I Get Paid To Get 'No's Script" or the "Help Me Out and Be One of My Qualified No's Approach" are good ones, but they shouldn't always be your first approach. Use the scripts and approaches your leaders and mentors recommend. If you use one of their recommended scripts and it doesn't work, it's easy to quickly switch to one of the above mentioned scripts and just ask someone to be one of your No's.
- We highly recommend you get others involved in this game! Doing this is a fun way to generate some friendly competition and make it interesting. Although you're running your own race and primarily competing against yourself to get your best time, like in any race, you'll find that competition will really juice you up and push you that much more. We recommend competition with a workout partner, a team or a group of people using accountability calls and "check ins" to see how everyone is doing. This will keep everyone motivated. Turning this into a contest with prizes is also an incredible way to generate explosive results within any organization or team, and we highly recommend it.
- Sending your potential recruiting prospects to this page is a GREAT IDEA! If you have people who you're trying to recruit into your business, but they're on the fence and hesitant to get started because they don't like sales, have never done sales, or aren't sure if your business fits them, sending them here might be a great idea for you. Most people avoid sales related positions because they think they can't convince people to say "Yes," and are afraid of rejection. Once they've read through the information on this page and the challenge details, they'll have learned that a "No" doesn't equal failure, that you get paid for them too and that rejection is nothing personal. Once they understand that this coupled with some product knowledge and the 100 No's Challenge, is all they need to get started, they'll be pretty excited to get going! Don't be surprised if after reviewing this site your prospect says: "Oh, is this all I have to do to be successful in your business? I just have to learn how to do an 'exposure,' play this '100 No's game' and see how fast I can get people to tell me 'No?' Well heck, I stink at sales, I'll probably be great at getting ''No's' and if I can get paid to get 'Nos' then count me in! When do I start?!"
- Always be prepared to show your list to others! Not just for competition purposes, but for training purposes. If you're a leader, or one day hope to be a leader of sales people, then showing your list is a great tool. It's one thing to talk something, it's another thing to walk it. Nothing beats showing that you practice what you preach. Nothing shows your commitment to the process more than showing your own "100 No's List." It will serve as a great training tool for the future and it shows that you lead by example. Do what you expect of others!
- Don't just take this challenge one time! Once you've completed the challenge once, go back and try to beat your best time! Let the "100 No's Challenge" be a part of your regular business model. Frame your list somewhere as it's an incredible accomplishment, celebrate it, because you definitely earned it. Start it again with some new people to compete against or work with.
- Don't do weak exposures, or take this challenge to such an extreme that you turn "Yeses" into "No's." Don't forget that you do want to get Yeses, and that you get paid for them! The goal of this game is to help you re-frame how you view rejection, and to help you treat sales like the numbers game that it is. Yeses will come naturally as a result of exposing many people properly. If you approach someone with "I need you to be one of my No's" Also let them know that they ARE allowed to say "Yes." Remember that some people will buy just to help, and you don't want to miss those easy sales as you emphasized that you were looking for a "No." Give everyone the benefit of a proper enthusiastic presentation and a full exposure, so that they want to say "Yes" to your product.
- Don't be afraid to handle objections that can turn a "No" into a "Yes." People don't often say "Yes" after only one exposure. Sometimes a prospect has to be exposed to an opportunity 5-7 times before saying "Yes." Sometimes there are objections that must be handled, or questions that must be answered before that final "Yes." Don't skip or shortcut these very important steps of your sales process. Getting a "Qualified No" should take more than one exposure and sometimes a few days. If someone says "No" but is still open to reviewing more information, or talking to someone else to have concerns addressed, don't be too quick to mark the prospect as a "No." that's a maybe. Make sure you've given every person everything you've got and exhausted your resources to assist. After that, keep the prospect in your follow-up pipeline.
- Commit to Personal Development. It's important to engage in personal development so that you are constantly improving you skills. Commit to continual training so that you can get better at handling objections, answering questions, and refining your processes. If you got 5 Yeses out of the first 100 No's, you want better results the second time you do the challenge. Hopefully by the second set of 100 No's, you will have doubled or bettered your Yeses. Developing your skills with books, audio trainings, and seminars is crucial.
- If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you're successful doing what you're doing, and saying what you're saying, then don't change a thing! Don't use any of the approaches we mentioned on this page. However, regardless of how well you're doing, it would benefit you greatly to take the 100 No's Challenge. Track your No's so you can discover what your ratios are and how how much each "No" is worth to you. You can do it manually using the sheets, or you can use ActivityTracker.com.
- Follow up, Follow up, Follow up! Don't think that just because someone says "No" that it's really "No"or that it's unchangeable. As I said in the beginning, most times they may be just saying: "Not Now" or "I don't know enough to say yes yet, try another angle." Keep everyone in your pipeline, follow up until you're sure that their final "No" is an educated decision. Ask them if it's okay to keep them informed over time, and follow up in the future. You never know, things may change for them, and for your business. At a later date, your opportunity may be a better fit for them. You may get that "Yes" then. Never burn any bridges and always stay positive, upbeat, and excited about your business and what it can do for them.

Marxist Publisher Supports Justice of Intellectual Property Rights
(p. A1) The Marxist Internet Archive, a website devoted to radical writers and thinkers, recently received an email: It must take down hundreds of works by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels or face legal consequences.
The warning didn't come from a multinational media conglomerate but from a small, leftist publisher, Lawrence & Wishart, which asserted copyright ownership over the 50-volume, English-language edition of Marx's and Engels's writings.
To some, it was "uncomradely" that fellow radicals would deploy the capitalist tool of intellectual property law to keep Marx's and Engels's writings off the Internet. And it wasn't lost on the archive's supporters that the deadline for complying with the order came on the eve of May 1, International Workers' Day.
. . .
(p. A4) . . . the libertarian Cato Institute enjoyed teasing its ideological adversaries with an I-told-you-so blog post titled, "Because Property Rights Are Important."
. . .
The publisher . . . tried to turn the tables on its critics, questioning whether it was indeed radical to believe that there is no ownership of content produced through hard work, like the mammoth translation and annotation of Marx's and Engels's work, a project initially directed by the Soviet Union in the late 1960s that took some 30 years of collaboration among scholars across the world.
In a note on its site, Lawrence & Wishart said its critics were not carrying on the socialist and communist traditions, but reflecting a "consumer culture which expects cultural content to be delivered free to consumers, leaving cultural workers such as publishers, editors and writers unpaid, while the large publishing and other media conglomerates and aggregators continue to enrich themselves through advertising and data-mining revenues."

NOAM COHEN. "Claiming a Marx Copyright? How Uncomradely." The New York Times (Mon., May 1, 2014): A1 & A4.

(Note: the online version of the story has the date APRIL 30, 2014, and has the title "Claiming a Copyright on Marx? How Uncomradely.")

there are too many contracts coming up for expiration – #1 being Sundin's either this year or next (probably next) – that would open up a ton of cap space. you are also assuming that Kubina, McCabe, and Gill are untradeable (which i'll admit they are, but we've seen GMs make pretty dumb moves before). Smyth comes in, his contract his less than Sundin's – assuming Sundin departs. the situation isn't getting worse at this point.
then you add in the various smaller level UFAs – Battaglias, Antropovs, Devreauxs, Kilgers (eventually), O'Neills, Belaks (eventually), and hopefully Tucker (Not) and see younger guys replace them if these guys start demanding more than what they are getting now … and the space begins to appear. the leafs are not in a bad cap space heading into next year considering the rise in cap space.
Of course that last sentence is dependent on Tucker NOT resigning with the Leafs. but, Smyth wouldnt make the situation worse at all.
But, if you go by your original assumption about the next four years, maybe i'm right there too considering that they might as well go 'all in' considering the contracts they've given out on defence, to Tucker, etc.]]>

Euro zone in deep downturn as China, U.S tick up
LONDON (Reuters) - The euro zone economy is on course for its deepest downturn since early 2009, while Chinese factories returned to growth last month bringing better news for the world economy, business surveys showed on Thursday.
The latest purchasing managers indexes (PMIs), which survey thousands of companies all over the world, at least suggested the global economic slowdown is not getting worse, despite the prolonged downturn in Europe.
The U.S. index, released on Wednesday because of the Thanksgiving holiday, showed manufacturing growing at its quickest pace in five months.
China's vast manufacturing sector, meanwhile, expanded for the first time in 13 months.
Still, Europe looks set to remain the major drag on the world economy next year. It re-entered recession in the third quarter, and this quarter seems unlikely to bring any respite.
While factory data in the euro zone also surpassed expectations, there was a worrying decline in its services sector, comprising the banks, hotels and restaurants that make up most of its economy.
PMI compiler Markit said the surveys were consistent with the euro zone economy shrinking 0.5 percent this quarter, which would be the worst reading since the first quarter of 2009, when the economy hit its lowest ebb during the financial crisis.
"Looking ahead, we still think ... the improvement in the global economy, as signaled by the further pickup in the Chinese PMI, will provide some respite to the euro zone economy," said Martin van Vliet, economist from ING.
But that could be some way off.
"The weak PMI outturn for November is a major disappointment in light of the increases in the German and French PMI surveys, and suggest the recession on the euro zone's periphery is gathering further pace."
German business activity shrank for a seventh straight month in November, dragged down by services firms, while the French PMI signalled the risk of a sharp economic contraction taking place this quarter.
The euro zone's periphery -- countries such as Spain, Portugal and Greece -- have laboured under severe austerity policies that have deepened their recessions and sparked popular unrest.
A reminder that the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis has further to run came on Wednesday, as international lenders failed for the second week to reach a deal for emergency aid for Greece.
Still, Spain managed to sell nearly 4 billion euros with ease at auction on Thursday, kicking off its funding programme for a daunting 2013.
Markit's flash euro zone services PMI fell to 45.7 this month, its lowest reading since July 2009 and failing to meet the expectations of economists who thought it would hold at October's 46.0.
It has been rooted below the 50 mark that divides growth and contraction for 10 months now, and survey compiler Markit said it was consistent with a 0.5 percent economic contraction this quarter.
To a large extent, global growth next year will depend on China's ability to overcome its downturn, after a disappointing 2012.
World share markets extended a week-long rally on Thursday in response to the data.
Thursday's Chinese manufacturing PMI was a clear sign the pace of economic growth has revived after seven consecutive quarters of slowdown, after it hit 50.4 in November, a 13-month high and above October's 49.5.
"This reflects that conditions for smaller firms, especially exporters, are looking up," said Li Wei, a Shanghai-based economist for Standard Chartered. "The consensus in the market is already for a small, gradual improvement."
An uptick in key economic activity indicators in October, following encouraging signs in September, cemented the view of many analysts and investors that a rebound in the world's second largest economy gathered momentum as it entered the fourth quarter, thanks to a raft of pro-growth policies rolled out by the government over recent months.

Analysis : Kohli comes of age
Preview : Onus on batsmen to pile it on
Players/Officials: MS Dhoni | Imrul Kayes | Virat Kohli | Mahmudullah | Tamim Iqbal
Matches: Bangladesh v India at Dhaka
Series/Tournaments: Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh
Teams: Bangladesh | India
A commendable performance with the bat, followed by an inspired opening burst wasn't enough for Bangladesh to pull off a surprise win against India at the Shere Bangla Stadium. The Indian middle order, led by Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, kept the hopes of the expectant crowd at bay with an ice-cool stand under pressure. For a while in the beginning of the chase, it seemed as if Shakib Al Hasan's decision at the toss would be vindicated, but the hard realisation hit home that even 296 wasn't enough to counter an in-form batting unit and a familiar foe called dew.
It undid all the hard work by a trio of half-centuries by Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes and Mahmudullah. Bangladesh posted their highest ODI total against a major Test playing country, surpassing their 285 against Pakistan. With India in trouble at 51 for 3, there was hope for Bangladesh. Shakib got his strategy right by unleashing his slow bowlers early and India had to sweat it out before they found their feet.
Abdur Razzak and Syed Rasel opened the bowling and kept the pressure by attacking the stumps. But it was a combination of casual running and purposeful fielding which led to Virender Sehwag's run-out, off a direct hit by the bowler Razzak. Sehwag failed to dive but he knew he was gone before the third umpire adjudicated. Gautam Gambhir dragged one on to his stumps and Yuvraj Singh played inside the line and lost his off stump to Rasel.
The match then turned when Dhoni and Kohli collaborated. Although Dhoni emerged the top scorer with 101, it was Kohli at the forefront in the stand of 154 for the fourth wicket. He displayed the kind of attitude and application one would associate with Rahul Dravid - cool under pressure, prepared to wait for the loose deliveries, push the singles and not get too bogged down if the boundaries aren't coming.
They struggled initially, hitting the ball straight to the fielders but later started to find the gaps. Two early boundaries off Abdur Razzak got Kohli going and he showed his strengths on both sides of the wicket , sweeping the spinners, cutting square and pulling whenever they dropped it short. The pressure began to tell on Bangladesh with a couple of misfields at the boundary - one by Tamim and the other by Razzak - was just what India needed. Kohli knocked it around and reached a valuable fifty.
As the dew worsened, the spinners were forced to bowl it flat and that gave the batting pair an opening as they kept the scoreboard ticking, without ever lagging far behind the required rate. Their stand featured 36 runs off boundaries, indicative of the number of singles and twos they picked up. The field was spread out and Bangladesh started going through the motions. They fluffed the only chance which came their way - a return catch put down off Dhoni by Shakib. At that stage, he was on 61.
Kohli started cramping up and called for a runner (Gambhir). However, he fell nine short of a century when he spooned one back to Shakib, this time hanging on to the catch. But the spinners failed to spark a collapse. Dhoni was quick to pounce on anything short and regularly rocked back to club it past midwicket. Suresh Raina joined him to finish the game comfortably with 15 balls to spare.
The defeat masked a sound batting performance by Bangladesh. Tamim batted with supreme confidence for an exciting 60 while Imrul played the supporting role, looking to occupy the crease and build partnerships. India clawed back during the middle overs before Mahmudullah scripted an attacking fifty during the batting Powerplay.
Tamim and Kayes added 80 in 11 overs on a sun-baked pitch which had no pace or movement for the seamers. Tamim played some enterprising shots on the on side, forcing Dhoni to get proactive with his field placings. His fifty came off 33 balls, the fastest by a Bangladesh batsman against India. Unfortunately, the entertainment ended when he tried to pull Sreesanth and found Gautam Gambhir at short midwicket. Kayes wasn't as flamboyant, but proved just as threatening. He preferred to stay at the crease and play his shots, grafting against the spinners and pushing the singles. He wasn't afraid to sweep Harbhajan Singh against the turn from round the wicket, and found the gaps at fine leg and deep square leg.
Bangladesh lost their way a bit after they lost Mohammad Ashraful and then Shakib for a duck. That was followed by another period of consolidation, between Raqibul Hasan and Mahmudullah who added 32 in 6.2 overs. Mahmudullah was scoreless for 11 deliveries but opened up with a sweep for four off Yuvraj. He was setting himself up for the batting Powerplay, which was delayed till the last five overs. Like in their opening game against Sri Lanka, the home fans were treated to another final-over flourish, this time by Mahmudullah. Three consecutive boundaries in the over, off Sreesanth, helped Bangladesh surge to 296. There was hope from the stands for another couple of hours before it all vanished.
