Graphic patterned COCOCOZY throw, shams and boudoir pillows on an elegant white Downtown Company duvet cover in the Christian Mosso & Associates Showroom in Atlanta! (above) |
Before you go any further...I recognize the last two posts have had the word "dream" in the title. I am not losing my creative gene nor am I at a loss for words (all who know me can attest to the latter)...I just think the word "dream" has summed up a lot of what I have been experiencing over the last few days. Wasn't there a song...."dream dream dream....blah blah blah blah blah blah all I want to do is dream"? Is that right? I don't know but I think if a song can repeat the word dream a million times in one verse...I can have two posts in a row that say "dream"! Right? Wrong? Pointless? I know. Bear with me. It is Monday.
So, have spent the last few days surrounded by luxurious linens at the Christian Mosso & Associates showroom in Atlanta. I am thrilled that the COCOCOZY collection is also in this prestigious showroom amongst a group of amazing textile manufacturers...many of the biggest names in bed linens (all creators of some of the finest sheets, duvet covers, blankets, pillows, shams and more).
COCOCOZY textiles in the Christian Mosso & Associaties showroom window in Atlanta! (above) |
The Christian Mosso & Associates showroom is huge...I think it is 20,000 square feet. Each line of textiles has its own section and its own look...but all work well together. Husband and wife team Christian and Laura Mosso hand picked all of the collections they represent...a "club" of sorts of the best of the best in linens.
I've so enjoyed showing my collection for the first time in Atlanta in this showroom. I have also enjoyed wandering back and forth through the showroom seeing all of the collections...dreaming...coveting...admiring. So many different looks. So many ideas.
The coolest thing about the Christian Mosso & Associates showroom is that there are dozens of bed vignettes to see...all of the different bedding is shown on Corsican metal beds. I had some fun throwing my COCOCOZY shams and boudoir pillows on one of the vignettes from Downtown Company. Was so great to see my bedding "in scene" so to speak. In January, in addition to my pillow and throw display (see previous post) I hope to have my own COCOCOZY bed to show as well in Atlanta!
Since I've had so much fun perusing bed heaven in the CMA Showroom...I thought I would let you take a peek and pick your favorite bedroom style. If you could chose, how would you make your bed?

A little embroidered bling for bed time from Ankasa! (above) |
Which of these beds is your favorite? Which resembles most what you currently have in your house and which of these is your dream bed?
Happy Monday!
P.S. Have met so many wonderful COCOCOZY readers in Atlanta...a number of talented women who are in design and who stopped by to say hi. It has been such a thrill. Had so much fun talking to Kathryn from Georgia and Denise from Dallas yesterday...among so many others! I'll be back in the showroom this morning, then dashing around the gargantuan Atlanta America's Mart snapping photos and shopping and then on the hunt in the cash and carry section for a cheap sparkling key chain (will explain later). Then best of friend JH is driving in from Columbia, SC to have dinner with me tonight. So excited! Please stop by the showroom this morning if you are in Atlanta. I should be there for a few hours.
P.P.S. To see what others have chosen as their bedding favorites...click on comments below...also go to COCOCOZY Facebook to see what followers there have chosen too! So much fun to see which are your favorites in bedding!
P.P.P.S. Had a lovely dinner with Peter and Jane last night. A very talented and successful brother sister duo who I work with on a project of mine. What amazing dinner conversation and such a nice night. Thank you for dinner Peter!

We wanted to give everybody the experience of sleeping snuggly in a snow-covered cabin, deep in some serene, quiet woods. And since it was too difficult to work out travel arrangements for everybody, we thought we'd just offer this 100% cotton flannel bedding set in a stylish plaid pattern.

Tim Mcgraw Gossip
Tim Mcgraw gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Faith's pixie and Nicole's boho
Jon Kopaloff/ Larry Busacca/ Michael Loccisano/ Getty
It's what we do with celebrities, right? We matchmake, friends and lovers. At least some of us do. So it seems obvious to me that Faith Hill and Nicole Kidman would be friends.They're around the same age, Faith is country royalty, Nicole is Hollywood royalty, they're artists, they could talk about their kids, go to yoga together, get some Botox together, then hit up spin class, record a duet. Full Story
Faith, Tim, Blake, Nicole, Keith
Rick Diamond/ Michael Loccisano/ Getty
It's really too bad Faith Hill and Tim McGraw didn't pose at the photo wall last night at the BMI Country Awards in Nashville. This pink printed dress is probably the best thing she's worn in a long time. You know who did pose at the photo wall? Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. She's one of the few who can wear a mullet dress and make it high class. Full Story
Faith & Tim are still coupled
Wenn, Ethan Miller/ Getty
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw were at the ACM Awards last night. Faith and Tim were (are?) tight with the Paltrow-Martins. I do wonder about how Gwyneth chose to inform her friends. Did she send them an alert mass-text before posting the conscious uncoupling message on GOOP? Or did Faith and Tim find out the way we did? Also, now that the tabloids are trying to make it seem like Gwyneth and Chris's "open relationship" extended all over Hollywood, how long before someone suggests that Tim McGraw made the list? The tabloids have been waiting on a Faith-Tim split for a while now. Full Story
No more braces
Wenn, Rick Diamond/ Michael Loccisano/ Getty
Faith Hill at the Country Music Awards last night. White dress…and no more braces. They're off! Do you see a difference? It was reported a couple of weeks ago that Faith and Tim McGraw are having marriage problems. The rumours started with The National Enquirer. Apparently Tim didn't have his ring on and that meant that Faith was giving him ultimatums. Full Story
Taylor Swift's writing grip
Ethan Miller /Getty
Taylor Swift's new Diet Coke ad is out. I've attached it below. Feel free to complain about however it is she's annoying you this time. And her lyrics. And her fringe. Go for it. Me, I'll be over here, FIXATING ON HER WRITING GRIP. LOOK AT THAT! Is that how we do now? When do these things change? And why aren't they properly announced? Why isn't there a public statement released by the writing authorities informing us of the technique modification? Am I too old to learn it? Is it restricted to those born after 1985? How is it superior to the traditional tripod and quadropod grips? Does it increase speed? Does it increase or decrease character angle? Does it improve neatness? WHERE DO THEY TEACH IT?!? I will be preoccupied by this for the entire day. Full Story
A GOOP-less double date
Where's G? As I mentioned last week when Faith Hill and Tim McGraw arrived in London with their daughters, there would have to be a visit with the Paltrow-Martins. And here they are -- Chris Martin with the Hill-McGraws with his children and their children hanging out at the park. Full Story
Faith & Tim in London
Since Gwyneth Paltrow is always on my mind, and since she's all over the site today, that was my first thought. That Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are in London and they can visit Gwyneth! Really though, they're in town to perform at the O2. Obviously. But I'm sure, SURE, that if Gwyneth's around, she'll be inviting them over for dinner, with their girls, and eat paella, or whatever brown rice sh-t G's up to cooking that day, and you'll roll your eyes, even though if you were invited you would totally go, don't lie. Full Story
Grammy Face or Body: Faith Hill
My friend Amy D, a big country music fan, emailed me last night during the Grammys. OMG what happened to Faith Hill?!? My response: Face or Body. She's choosing Body. In the choice not to have a big ass, sometimes, unless you're Halle Berry, you sacrifice your face. This, I imagine, is why fillers became so popular. Full Story
Faith & Tim: the GOOP version
Jason Kempin/Getty
As you know, I default to Gwyneth Paltrow all the time. FAITH AND TIM DRESSED LIKE THIS BEFORE GOOP, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!! Look, if you want to shout me down for this...fine. It's just... Faith Hill wasn't exactly known for being the best dressed, like, ever. Full Story
Faith & Tim travel in comfort
I won't lie. The reason I'm posting these photos is because a. have I mentioned I am obsessed with celebrity travel habits? and b. I'm so down with Faith Hill not wearing any makeup*. Here she is, with Tim McGraw and their daughters, at LAX heading for Sydney. It's a long flight. They are dressed and ready for it. Full Story
What's with the white?
My G wore white again to the Hollywood premiere of Country Strong last night. We already know she has too much superiority up her ass. Is this really the way to convince us that she can play country-worn, fragile on the outside but on the inside is something you can't crush? If anything, at least in that dress, all we remember is that that's Gwyneth Paltrow, always the thinnest and the tallest, and the most popular. Full Story
Gwyneth Paltrow: Swifty for her star
GOOP received her star on the Walk of Fame today. Totally masturbatory exercise, obviously, in time to support Country Strong. Which is why Tim McGraw and Shana Feste were there, her co-star and director, and also Faith Hill, and Matthew Morrison too, just to remind you that she sang on Glee. By the way, it was confirmed today that she'd be back on the show for a second appearance. Full Story
Everyone loves Gwyneth: Faith Hill edition
My G was spotted in New York yesterday after having lunch with yet another famous blonde friend, this time someone she hasn't yet pimped out to Alex Rodriguez. Faith Hill and Gwyneth Paltrow caught up over sushi, tight now that G has spent time in Nashville hanging out with Faith and Tim McGraw with whom she co-starred in the upcoming Country Strong. Full Story
The Best
Sandra Bullock. There's no other way to say it. Sandy was a surprise guest last night at the Nashville benefit concert to raise money for flood victims, with a guitar strapped around her, teasing that she was about to perform before introducing Faith Hill who spearheaded the effort with a very exhausted looking Tim McGraw.

SOA Warranty Problems & Questions
ateixeira Posts: 72,587
tia13 Posts: 5Hi all,
I just traded in my 1995 Legacy wagon (I loved it) for a 2002 with 82,500 miles (yes, I know, a tad high for its years). I am debating on an extended 4 year/48,000 extended warranty which will tack on about $60 a month for life of loan (5 years). I do not drive a lot (1995 only had 110,000). My other option is a one year Subaru extended warranty on the Power Train for about $20/month (the 4 year is not a Subaru warranty). Any thoughts???? I have to decide by tomorrow.
The only problems I was beginning to encounter with my 1995 were due to age and rust (not body, but parts affecting suspension, exhaust, etc.) which were beginning to add up, thus the new car.
thanks! -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738It might be worthwhile to get the extended Subaru powertrain warranty for a year, assuming the $20/month is only for the duration of that covered year, considering the possibility of head gasket issues. I would not opt for the non-Subaru warranty, as they tend to be more bark than bite, unless they are biting you in the rear. At $60/month, it sounds like a generous fleecing. $3600 (the amount you would pay over five years for the FOUR YEAR "warranty") is a fair chunk of maintenance change - an amount you are not likely to exceed during 60 months of low-mileage ownership including normal maintenance and occasional repairs. And, that amount you pay to the warranty would cover the non-maintenance portion only!
Even a head gasket replacement should not cost more than $1800 for the pair, and that is still half of your "budget!"
Good luck with the car!2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
tia13 Posts: 5thanks for the quick reply! Actually, the $20 is the life of the loan(!) as the total cost is about $1140 so I am even a bit hesitant about that. Considering that I had no engine or transmission trouble with my '95 and other costs were mainly wear and tear I do feel that the 4 year is not worth it. I definitely don't like paying for it PAST the year it covers! I guess if I'd had a lot of service issues I would not have bought another Subaru. A service tech commented that the 2002 is a newer line altogether than the 1995/97 and that the rust issues are not even as much of an issue.
Have you found/heard of head gaskets being a problem with these or was that just one of the more expensive problems and that is why you mentioned it?
thanks again! -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Ask if your 2002 model had the coolant conditioner added and find out for sure if it's covered by Subaru's head gasket warranty that they extended.
That's the most common problem by far. If Subaru will already cover that for the next couple of years.
If so I'd pass on buying longer warranty protection at all (and I have a Subaru Gold warranty, FWIW). -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Yes, the head gasket problem was somewhat hit-and-miss by 2002, as they apparently updated gasket material at some point during that model year to help alleviate the high frequency of the problem. I would say it is the most likely large-dollar repair you are likely to face during the next 100,000 miles.
$20 for 5 years? With one year of coverage? Wow... quite a deal, there! Pass. Or tell them you'll pay $5/month over the loan for it. Unless there is an existing problem, they will still likely make money off it! And, if there IS an existing problem, they should pay anyway. If they scoff, ask them, "Why? No confidence in your own product? I only put a few thousand miles per year on my cars!" :P2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I think they may have put a sticker under the hood near the radiator instructing mechanics to use the conditioner from that point on. You may see it when you pop the hood, if not ask them about it.
I don't have the URL for the HG issue because it has not affected any of the 5 Subarus in my family. -
tia13 Posts: 5yeah, I definitely need to follow up on this. I am so glad I found out about it here. I did finally find the TSB on NHTSA site cooling link but it does not give any specific info. I also looked up the recalls so I can ask about them as well. The good thing is that the car only had one previous owner and it was (mostly) serviced by the dealer I bought it from so the service history should be accessible. This is also the same dealer where I had my old Subaru serviced so I DO have a longstanding (9 years) relationship with them - should account for something!!
on the warranty - yeah, I agree. I bought a Subaru for their reliablity
thank you -
mommymoose Posts: 2So, we just purchased an 02 OB, and it has about 50k miles, if i remember correctly... we're scheduled to p/u wednesday, and we have to decide whether to take the extended warranty on it- it was 4 years/32 k miles, for $1500.... we originally thought, no.. but i see there are a few problem spots, and i am worried that we will regret not taking it....
what would you do??? -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Is it a Subaru warranty? Or an aftermarket one?
My concern is that at 50k miles, the bumper-to-bumper warranty already expired, so there might be a lot of exclusions, i.e. anything that may have developed between 36k and 50k miles.
With a lapse in coverage, it may not be worth it.
We do have a Subaru Gold warranty for our 2002 Legacy (though we've never used it). -
mommymoose Posts: 2i thiiink its aftermarket, despite being offerred by the guy at the subaru dealership.... he gave us a list of what it did cover, and couldn't give a list of what it didn't....
u think it did have an extended coverage that ends in a few months or something, so i dont think there'd be a lapse... does that change your suggestions??? m

p.s. I ventured out into the rain to see Justin Bieber in 3D because virality is one of my passions in life (seriously). All I could think the whole time is, "Is Scooter Braun [his manager] related to Ryan?" And, you know, "Why is Justin trying to poke my eye out?" I am with Roger Ebert on the whole 3D thing.

First off, let me start off by saying that I am looking forward to this game. I am a bit of a game collector/junkie, and I think this has potential.
Now, that being said, my critcisms of the idea-
1. Flesh out the other game lines first. Granted, they can take a hiatus from DH for a while, as they have most of it covered, and even have not one, but two trillogy adventures published. I wouldn't mind seeing some more material strictly for Ascension though. RT has quite a bit out for it at the moment, so they could get away with a breatk for bit a well. Deathwatch still needs a bit more, namely a nice big epic adventure. BC obviously needs much more done.
2. Xenos. Yes, the Imperium is awesome, I myself am a hardcore Space Marine player. That being said, there are hard-core fans of the Xenos races who should get their turn. The options in "Into the Storm" are nice, but you are still essentially playing an Imperium based game. An Eldar game has potentiel, as does even an Ork game if done right (I could see adapting the BC model where your eventual goal is to gain enough support that you lead a WAAAGH). A Tau game could even include more than one race, as the Tau Empire is a tad more cosmopolitan than the other stellar nations. I think a game focusing on Xenos should be next instead of Guard, personally. Granted, players of Nids and Necrons are going to be left out, as there really isn't much that can be done RP-wise with them, though a game focusing on a Genestealer cult DOES have potential.

L Frame™ Snow
There are a few goggle designs out there that let you wear corrective eyewear, but they tend to make you look like you've got monster bug eyes. We've kept the L Frame sleek, and it works with most prescription frames.
If you wear prescription eyewear, you have something in common with the mountain's top athletes. Not everyone is born with perfect eyes, but those who refuse to compromise on vision can get the clarity of Oakley optics with the compatibility of the L Frame goggles. Designed to allow room for prescription glasses, the comfortable fit takes advantage of double-layer face foam and durable urethane that maintains flexibility when the mercury plummets. F-2 series anti-fog treatment is matched with a vented dual lens of optically pure Lexan®. The Persimmon lens color boosts contrast to improve depth perception in low light and overcast/flat light.
High Definition Optics®
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is a collection of patented technologies that allow Oakley eyewear to meet or exceed the testing standards of the American National Standards Institute for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance.

It was awesome finally hearing Ram's. Too bad he's inactive, tho. :c(
Oh wow...did my voice turn you on that much?
Oh oops lol
Control + C ain't working so well for me today :c)
It's your west coast stupidity. I feel bad for you. If you are not from New England or the Atlantic region [or received higher education from said region], you are considered intellectually inferior to the rest of the country. There's statistics to back up said data. 9 out of the top 10 states in education are in those regions and you don't live in Washington.
Here's me:
LOL, Bob Loblaw's Law Blog! Nice voice. :c)
To reply to a request by a friend on JUB
Sorry that my voice is not very loud and if my accent sounded mixed between British and American
And I noticed I sound sombre and all nasal --'
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
I loved Porphyria's Lover when we read it in college.
Buzzer just sounds really sexy. :c)
I have a cold:
Bob, you sound like you are from the northern Midwest? Is that close, or is your cold distorting it?
Hope you mend soon.
He is from the Northern Midwest.
The running joke is that they speak in a dialect, even though they don't THINK they do.
(They have some Canadian influence in their voices...tightly spoken "o"s, etc..)
^haha Buzzer, some people let me in on your secret.
My first guess was that you sound very West Coast, but the deliberately-mispronounced words really threw me off.
Funny thing, though--one person perceived you as much older, but I think you sound much younger--24, or so.
I'll go with that. I'm 24. But I'm still a ninja-trained Saudi Royal. Beware.
- - - Updated - - -
You are the third person on JUB to ask me this and in real life a person who works in voice talent was trying to get me to come audition one time. I don't have any clue what any of you are smoking. I don't see it at all, lol.
Buzzer, the big secret related to the fact that you deliberately mispronounced the words, in reference to a thread which bemoaned people who mispronounce words. ("I'll slap the shit out of the next person who mispronounces February..." and so on.)

^Somehow, you sound a bit like Janet Jackson.
(Miss Anne, I mean. Not you, Buzzer.)
You know what I'd find an irony? What if she WAS Janet Jackson?
You guys are sweet.
I was sitting here gushing over you JUB's cute accents (Huntneo, to name one ) and Buzzer's cool radio voice.
Thanks for the compliment Johann. I WISH! I couldn't play yours. These links expire. Im guessing.

There is an abundance of wildlife in the New Forest and the relaxed atmosphere means most will have little fear coming close to the campsite; campers at Setthorns can expect to see a number of New Forest ponies and maybe even some deer. There is an array of activities to get involved in while staying at this campsite including cycling and walking through the New Forest or visits the nearby seaside resorts of Barton on Sea and Bournemouth. Nearby attractions include the New Forest Reptile Centre, Hurst Castle and lighthouse and the Red House Museum and Gardens which is a must see for archaeology or geology enthusiasts. Close to the villages of Sway and Brockenhurst, there are plenty of restaurants, craft shops and pubs to keep everyone entertained. Please note: It is essential that you bring your own chemical toilet. There are no shower or toilet facilities on this site.

This setting still has all the charm and beauty that we remembered and loved the first time that we stayed here. Although there are absolutely no facilities other than a water tap, electric hook up and Elsan point, this is all you need for a very relaxing holiday. A disused railway line runs through the centre of the site and this is an excellent cycling and walking route right on your doorstep. There is a path through the forest that leads directly into the villiage of Sway and here you can find local shops with places to eat and drink. There are many other off road pathways to walk and cycle directly outside the campsite and a particular beautiful spot is Wootton Bridge where you can sit by the stream and relax or if you have children, they can paddle and fish for tiddlers with a net! An ice cream van stops here regularly as well. During our visit, we saw plently of wildlife around our caravan including deer, rabbits & squirrels plus many species of birds including woodpeckers & cuckoos. The New Forest ponies also roam in and out of the forest. We would highly recommend this site if you like getting away from it all and having some time out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Not too long ago, entrepreneurship education was part of the curriculum of few university programs across the country. In 2003, the Kauffman Campuses initiative started to help seed cross-campus entrepreneurship programs at dozens of American universities, thereby allowing more young people to explore their entrepreneurial potential. Other universities have since moved in the same direction, bringing entrepreneurship education into the mainstream of learning by offering entrepreneurship courses and sponsoring extra-curricular activities, such as business plan competitions. Other institutions, like MIT, have gone even further by helping student scientists commercialize innovations.
During this past Week I have been "Globe Blogging" and have reported from the road about various Global Entrepreneurship Week (Nov. 16-22) policy events among others from around the world. Entrepreneurs, development organizations, policy leaders and entrepreneurship researchers lent their voices and experiences to some series policy dialogues. When top-level officials engaged in Global Entrepreneurship Week they sent a message to their constituents about the government's support for entrepreneurship, making young minds even more comfortable with the idea of doing good through the marketplace. Let's hope decision makers will be motivated to more urgently enact regulatory reforms and advance other polices to bolster their nation's entrepreneurial climate.
If you often find yourself quietly thinking "I know a better way to do this" or "I could create something new that would make this easier for everyone," you are a potential entrepreneur. Don't waste that potential. The economy needs you more than ever.
The record number of pro-entrepreneurship legal and regulatory reforms in the past year among the economies studied by the World Bank's Doing Business project is welcome news during a time of global economic recession. Prioritizing reforms and learning from global best practices hold enormous potential to unleash entrepreneurship. To maximize this potential, leaders must also promote a culture that embraces entrepreneurship.
Welcome to Global Entrepreneurship Week. Throughout this week, I will be reporting in from entrepreneurship policy events around the world. Global Entrepreneurship Week is engaging more than four million participants in 887 countries exploring new venture creation as a career path through mentoring activities, business plan competitions, networking events and other fun activities. It offers an extraordinary demonstration to policymakers that there is a new wave of entrepreneurialism before us and if we want to build economies and make jobs, they must quickly create the most favorable environment possible.
President Obama recently announced that the U.S. government is committed to restoring the nation's leadership in educating children in math and science, and launched a new "Educate to Innovate" campaign. The campaign will bring together teachers, parents, businesses and the media to promote math and science learning. The effort promises to test and launch new ideas to improve math and science education outcomes, and most importantly, our children's interest in these fields as platforms to tackle many pressing challenges. While the campaign aims at encouraging students to engage in innovation, will it foster innovation among education providers themselves?
The idea of an entrepreneur's or start-up visa that grants high-skilled immigrants the right to stay if they start job-generating businesses is gaining traction. Last Wednesday, a Wall Street Journal article laid out the case for it and the next day it was discussed both at a meeting I attended on how to boost innovation in the U.S and at the President's Jobs Summit as a way to create jobs.
Since the economic crisis broke out, capitalism has been under the microscope. Many have blamed evil businesses and market forces for the financial meltdown, and have lost confidence in private-sector engagement strategies for recovery. Luckily, in this country many more have experienced the positive impact of entrepreneurship either directly and indirectly. In a March 2009 survey, 63% of respondents said they "prefer giving individuals the incentives they need to start their own businesses as opposed to allowing the government to create new jobs directly." A look at the role of new businesses in the economy reveals that it is not a matter of rejecting capitalism but rather of allowing more entrepreneurs into the economy.
We have long argued that the American model for development assistance could improve dramatically if entrepreneurship becomes a stronger element of economic development efforts. Unfortunately, the importance of new firm creation is a concept that has yet to gain relevance in traditional development models, such as the Washington Consensus. However, there are a few actors who understand the power of entrepreneurship and have been using it to improve lives. Diaspora entrepreneurs are using their experience and understanding about entrepreneurship to invest in new ventures in their country of origin. These transnational entrepreneurs view a globe of porous borders.
So we know that entrepreneurs are the primary engines of job creation in the United States. Research study after research study has confirmed that it is young firms that drive improvements in the employment situation. From 1980–2005, firms less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the country. In 2007 alone, young firms (1-5 years old) accounted for nearly two-thirds of job creation. We also know more than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, along with nearly half of the firms on the 2008 Inc. list of America's fastest-growing companies. In light of all this evidence and in face of the employment crisis in the country, how can we truly support the entrepreneurs behind these young firms?

Orchard Park, NY (WBEN) It's been a tough afternoon for the Buffalo Bills and it's not even half-time in their game against the Minnesota Vikings as the team has lost both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller to injury.

Post subject: Farewell to 2008! Y hallo thar, 2009!
Well, worldwide, it's been one heck of a year. Elections all over the place, invasions, coups, pirate attacks, economic woes...
So, how was 2008 for YOU?
And what are you looking forward to in 2009?
2008 for me wasn't so hot. I came home from living abroad rather suddenly and unexpectedly, which was a downer. I got a job as a reservations agent that had fantastic pay but was socially isolated and maddening. But that's ok because the economic downturn got me cut from the payroll. In classes I had thought that the fall semester was going well, but then I had some sort of panic attack on finals day and bombed every exam-and my professors wouldn't answer their phones or e-mails afterwards. Fun!
On the bright side, I got WoW for my birthday, which is superfun! I took a tae kwon do class which I've thoroughly enjoyed. My niece was born, which was a major event for three families as she made us all uncles, aunts, and grandparents for the very first time! And I've babysat for her already more times than I had hoped for her first year, and it's been fantastic. She's only six months, but she's already walking across the room (with support of course). She may just skip crawling. She's the bright, shining light of 2008.
For 2009, I'm more than anything hoping for health and prosperity for my niece and her parents, who both graduated in 2008 and are now looking for better employment. For myself I'm hoping for a much better academic year-I've switched majors to one I hope I will be more interested in. I also have a wedding to look forward to in June, which several of my friends from abroad will be attending here in Utah, so I'm excited. My dad may or may not retire in the summer, and then my parents would go on a two-year religious mission to Italy, but we'll see how things are in the summer. For the world as a whole I'm hoping for better economies, better politics, and better times all around.
And I'm looking forward to all the comedic "year-in-review"s that will shortly be coming out.
And you guys? How was 2008 for you, and what are you hoping for in 2009?
I love children...but I could never eat a whole one.

2008...2008...It was mixed. I was at a university I didn't like, doing a course I didn't enjoy, so for several months I was quite unhappy. However because of that I joined this forum and Tomgeeks, so at least something positive came out of it.
Although it started out badly the year improved; in August I went to Canada to visit my best friend (who I know over the internet and have only met twice), I spent two weeks with her and her family, I also met her daughter for the first time. I voluteered at a charity shop during the summer and I changed university and course. I enjoy my new course a lot more and my waking thoughts are no longer 'Oh f***' or 'I hate my life'. So that's definatly better.
For 2009 I'm hoping to do a few more productive things, like approaching publishing agents and uh...dealing with issues. I'll spare you the details. I also have exams at the end of January so I'm hoping I'll do better in these ones than the ones at my first university.
As for things I'm actually looking forward to; said Canadian best friend is due with another girl in just a couple of days so hopefully I'll nip over to Canada again in August. And I'm looking forward to meeting Panda at the end of January. Can't actually think of anything else I'm looking forward to but I am definatly, absolutly
turning twenty in 2009.
Happy New Year everyone.

2008 has been a bit strange for me. I spent the first half of the year pretty much living with a group of friends in university halls, went back down South and spent the summer going out to the sort of venues I don't particularly enjoy - nightclubs and the like - with my old friends from down here, then went back up to university and didn't see very much of the friends I pretty much lived with for a year.
It's entirely my fault; don't get me wrong, I don't go out a lot to pubs and so on which they quite seem to enjoy so the chances of us bumping into each other are statistically remote.
I guess it's not surprising since we have so little in common - maybe my friendships are more based on convenience than enjoyment - even the friends I've got more in common with I rarely see anymore. The only friends I have met from last year are the ones that go to the same clubs.
Retrospectively socialising tires me out. I've never bonded with people in the same way as others seem to, I enjoy good company as it comes and don't chase after it too much when it leaves. Protracted socialising requires a great investment of time and energy for relatively little return by way of actual enjoyment.
Guess that's one of the reasons I've never had a girlfriend. Well that and trust, or the lack thereof. It's not that I think they might betray me in a relationship sense; I couldn't particularly care who they sleep with or whatever. But at the same time given I don't particularly care about those things having a romantic relationship seems somewhat pointless. The only gain would be spending more time in each other's company, and if you don't want to claim domain over that company the exercise ceases to have a point.
Besides which at the end of the day I want to be able to lock my door and go to sleep for a night safe in the knowledge that if anything comes through that door all that's required of me is a swift dance in the dark. I can handle that sort of deal, always have been able to. No messy social relationships that I might mess up, no trust required. It's a simpler, less dishonest world. Just having that fast and true deal known between all the parties where everyone knows what's table they're sitting down to and that it's going to be a very rough end for whoever loses and doesn't have the chips to cover their stake. There's something purer in that, none of the lies and chaos that goes around socialising, humanity stripped to its base form.
It's just coming to terms with the fact that I don't really want long term relationships in the same way as others I guess - it's communicated as such a huge symbol of success by conventional culture. 2.4 children, a big house, a nice job, people to care for you when you get old. I don't want most of those things, the only one of the conventional image I want is the not dying alone part. But I know I'd more than likely die in a hospital with hospital staff around me regardless.
You get one time around. Maybe if I tried the long term friendship thing more I'd find a point where I finally enjoyed it; perhaps the same for romance – though a part of me says I'm getting too old to start learning that game now anyway. Logically you can say the same for anything you don't enjoy; 'maybe someday I will.' Can't shake the feeling I might be missing out on something though.
On the other hand 2008 also found me running around Central London wearing body armour, being driven around in fast cars, and watching loads and loads of anime. It also marked moving into my first flat, spending more money than I can strictly speaking afford, (oops!) and reading a lot of books.
I'm really tired.
Yes that last bit sums up 2008 well enough. I'm really tired.
Hopes for 2009. More money, discovery of economically viable fusion power generators, good health to the people I like, swift death to the people I dislike (not that I can really think of any but I'll just put it there incase,) entry into the volunteer police force, to find some shred of interest in my university courses, good exam results.
Never forget,
We stroll along the roof of hell

Overall 2008 was a a good year. I made several new friends and business contacts, got my first professional theatre gig, picked up costume commissions outside my friend circle and learned how to contra dance.
The biggest mark on 2008 is my uni strike which is putting my academic career on pause and driving me insane. ^__^
For 2009, I hope for my studies to resume in a timely and orderly fashion. I am also hoping for economic stability, for the Canadian government to get their act together, and to save enough money that I can go to the World Soccer Cup in 2010 with my cousin who lives in South Africa.

2008 was meh.
...what? More detail?
Ummm... well I moved into a nice new house, but the moving was a pain. I made
, a movie I'm pretty proud of. I wrote a script I like, compiled a list of horror movies I've seen (I'm at 134), got a PS3 to play Blu-rays with (and haven't bought a DVD since), got
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic Chronicles
, which are both awesome, and... meh.
There was a lack of standout events this year, especially in the summer. In 2006 I went to film camp for summer, and in 2007 I got my first paid acting gig and later went to Cedar Point, the theme park with the most rides and coasters anywhere, which I'd been dreaming about since I was like 7.
This year... well, I did get that PS3. And helped my grandmother move in.
In 2009, I want my script to become a sweet movie, and to hopefully go back to Cedar Point, or film camp, or get another acting gig. Or all of the above ^^
Just because I like scary things doesn't mean I'M- okay, it kinda does sometimes.

2008 was good while I was in Israel, but it sort of slid downhill from there. It rallied during the High Holidays but I let it slip through my fingers again, and now I'm struggling to keep my head above water again. On break, no less!
My wish for 2009 is that I will be seeing it come in Israel, from the steps of the Beit Hamikdash. There is yet time!

That which holds no form, yet commands all our thoughts
To return to it's memory is to ponder all it has brought
From the pinnacle of joys to the valley floor of despair
Many pieces of these things, Time is unable to repair
In hope of each moment, we step forth from the last
Only the pleasant memories seem to move on too fast
Though difficult in suffering, this thought must remain
Each moment is fleeting, and the next promises a refrain
Step forward in strength, and know each moment will pass
Make every effort to find in it more joy than the last
No hope, no prayer will bring those lost to us back
But contained in the future, may lie all that we lack
Tonight is not a night of celebration for me. That is all you will get from me on the subject.

In 2008 I had my first and only romantic relationship. It didn't even last long, but it's a milestone of sorts for me nonetheless.
I volunteered for the nation's organ donation organization, which I found very rewarding. I am no longer volunteering there, but I still spread the word (and some pamphlets) every so often.
I started and finished my second and middle year in university, which was reasonably similar to the first.
I learned that despite my dreams, physics may not be the world I belong to. If my skills indeed lie elsewhere, then perhaps elsewhere I should go.
Most importantly, as 2008 is ending, for the first time in my life I can say that I have friends and truly believe it. I have friends who I love, who love me back, who I can share things with and am very close to. Several of them, in fact. And though I don't get to talk to them as often as I'd like, what little I get is always such a gift.
As for 2009, I'm hoping to find a good job (which will by necessity be my job for six years, so this is important). I'm also hoping for a bit of peace in our war-and-terror ridden country, though after so many people wishing that for so many years, it seems like a joke.

The beginning of 2008 was amazing for me. I became closer than ever to my friends, and learned a lot about them. In February, I finished the first draft of a book I've been planning and dreaming about since the seventh grade - it brought quite a huge rush of euphoria.
2008 was a year of independence for me. I got my license, my first car, my first job . . . I gained a lot of confidence in myself, and became more outgoing. I've learned a lot about myself this year, and about other people. I've learned a lot about what it means to love someone, and what it means to persevere.
This year I've come up with, and discarded, numerous plans to go to Israel. I am determined to go though. I've become more secure and knowledgeable in my religion, and this too has given me confidence.
Starting around late July things began to go sour, because my friend has had so many troubles with going to college - things always seem to go wrong. While I love all my teachers this year, the classes are hard, and there's a lot of stress from my parents and from other people.
For 2009 I hope to grow further, and to at last decide what to do with my life. I'm graduating this year, and I think I'll feel a bit lost once I do. I'm going through my first surgery in June, and it's scaring me silly. I suppose for 2009 I want to get some things sorted out, and to reorder my life a bit. I'm hoping to save up enough money to go to a missionary school by January 2010. I really hope that the president we elected will be the best thing for the country, and I wish for a general peace world-wide.
I also wish my brother a happy wedding and marriage.

Happy New Year from this end of the US, everybody! My first act of 2009 was to finish decorating cookies that I had neglected, then didn't give them enough time to dry before packing them away, so now the decorative frosting is probably all smushed and stuck to the wax paper. Ah well, at least i got pictars before.
Now to sleep for a few hours before I have to get up again!

2008 for me was long and hard, but full of suprises and rewards. It was the year my son was born, the year we got new computer (husband now must buy me expensive gifts. mwahaha), the year I experenced being a first time mom.
There's a lot of others things as well some tragedy. My Great Uncle died several months ago, may his soul find rest. I've had disappointments in not being able to have my baby meet so many of my elderly relatives as they often pass away before they had the chance.
2009 seems like a hard year for me, we are broke due to less paychecks and being unable to save up. But maybe things will look up few months from now. Who knows?

Best wishes for everyone in 2009 - especially those of you who had 2008s that weren't up to snuff.
2008 was not especially good or especially bad - it was my "meh" year. No major revelations, or travels or experiences. I'll call it my year of stability - I got a stable job which I guess is my first "adult job", my relationship with my boyfriend other has continued to grow, and my fighting skills have been getting a lot of practice - both in the video game world and in the
. It ended pretty well with snow for Christmas.
For 2009, my resolution has been to calm down and not be so pessimistic all the time. Also, I need to go traveling again, SOON. And find a job that doesn't bore me to tears. Getting into grad school would be nice, but it's not likely to happen... oops, there I go breaking my resolution again. Also, getting over my fear of back flips would be very cool.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I love Mirf's optimism, and yes, hot chocolate does help one take on the day - if only a little. Also, congrats on becoming a mom!

"If you are having an in-stock problem in New York or Chicago, somebody is going to write about that," he said.
Another contributing factor could be the change in how stores are managed and supervised, Peterson said, with less experienced workers in the department.
Store-level attention to produce merchandising is changed from what it used to be, Peterson said.
"They used to have produce merchandisers that went into stores to teach, train and supervise, and they don't have those anymore," he said.
Standardized containers — RPCs — are being used more as a fixture than an operation scheme, Peterson said.
"They are moving toward conventional merchandising schemes more than RPC-oriented execution."
Labor factors
There are many analysts who believe Wal-Mart sales increases are not as robust as they once were is because of strains on their labor force, said Dick Spezzano, California-based retail consultant.
While the chain has a system of automatic replenishment with reorders after a certain level of sales, there can be breakdowns in the system.
"What we hear is the product is in the back room but not getting on the shelves," he said.
If that is the case, the problem of store-level execution is the critical issue, Spezzano said.
"Sam Walton used to say they have ordinary people doing extraordinary work," Spezzano said.
"When you have ordinary people doing ordinary work, it doesn't quite cut it," he said.
Wenninger said Wal-Mart is investing in its staff and efficiencies in the supply chain.
"We're investing in sourcing, replenishment and our store associates to bring this to life," he said.
Wenninger said the chain surveys 500,000 customers per month, and Wenninger said customer satisfaction numbers have trended upward over the past two years.
During the past three years, Wenninger said Wal-Mart has established produce buying offices in all the major growing regions of the U.S., Mexico, Central America and Chile.
"We've also invested in improved replenishment systems and are undertaking significant associate training and monitoring initiatives focused on in-store execution," Wenninger said.
Specifically, Wenninger said Wal-Mart has introduced what it calls the Global Replenishment System across produce to help ensure the chain has the right amount of produce in the right place at the right time.

Perspectives are difficult to change in software,
but sometimes reshooting the photo just isn't an option.
This image here has some distorted perspectives.
You can see the differing perspectives with these grids here.
With the latest update to Photoshop CC,
you can correct these perspectives to make dramatic improvements to the image
while keeping other areas intact.
This new tool is called Perspective Warp.
You can also use this new tool to entirely change the perspective of an image.
Using Perspective Warp, I can manipulate the image
to appear as if I took 2 steps back and turned to the left while shooting the photo.
Perspective Warp is also useful when compositing multiple objects into a single image.
This photograph has some train tracks, and I want to insert a train from a separate photo.
Right away you can see that the perspectives don't match,
and it doesn't look realistic.
Using Perspective Warp, I draw a 3D box around the object,
switch to warp mode, and now I can manipulate the perspective
to get it just right.
Photoshop has the most powerful image manipulation tools available,
and Perspective Warp is an amazing addition to that set of tools.
