text: My new pair of MERRELL is fine. The best review I can give you is related to my old pair of MERRELL that I have kept far longer than any other pair of shoes: This is the reason why I come back to MERRELL for another pair. I have kept my old pair for more than 2 years as far as I can remember. A regular pair of shoes will only last between 12 to 18 months. Do this exercise. Which part of your last pair of shoe broke first. Is it the sole? The sole of my old pair of shoes is still functional. No holes. Which part of your shoes gave in first. Is it the seam of the stitches. This pair of MERRELL did not gave away from the stitches. It gave in at the place of my big tow on the left with a small hole; probably because of the effect of water and rain drying up the leather. My only complaint is not to be able to find the same pair of shoes in retail store of montreal the same way it used to. The distribution is not as good as before. I am a proof this is not because of the lack of quality of this product or because of its price, because the price is very reasonable. The only explanation I found for the lack of distribution is because of a (possible) poor margin of profit that is left to the retailer.

Argentina airline tickets whisk travellers to a land where sultry tango meets thundering glaciers and cobalt blue skies frame cactus-studded deserts. In passionate Buenos Aires, stroll the palm-fringed Plaza de Mayo or visit the MALBA, home to 20th-century Latin American art. Board flights to Argentina and travel south to gaucho country around the Pampas, spot waddling penguins on the Atlantic Coast, or hear the almighty crash of Perito Moreno Glacier in remote Patagonia. Flights to Argentina take visitors to vine-clad Mendoza or the Andean Northwest's colour-streaked canyons and lunar landscapes. Edge north to the roaring falls of Iguazú National Park, surrounded by jungle, inhabited by giant anteaters and jaguars.
Carnivores take a flight to Argentina to feast on thick, juicy Pampas steaks, washed back with full-bodied cabernet sauvignons from Mendoza. Indulge in dark chocolate in alpine-infused Bariloche, Patagonia, or facturas (sweet pastries) with herbal mate tea. An Argentina airline ticket races you to Buenos Aires, birthplace of tango - expect to find red-hot clubs dedicated to the dance. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Argentina. Book airline tickets to catch top events: from the mesmerising footwork of August's Buenos Aires Tango Festival to professional horsing around at November's Gaucho Festival.

2007 Elantra First Impressions
irismg Posts: 345I was in my mid 20s when I had that car, backy, and I guess when you're young a red interior was exciting! And, that's better than a lemon yellow interior, right? LOL
I liked the medium blue interiors, and I haven't seen any since cars had built-in ashtrays and CB radios!
I think staying with only black or gray takes all the "personality" out of cars! I see people resorting to those ugly "flower-power" seat covers again!
Anyway, that's all off-topic, and I'll let you get back to the Elantra. -

After that, they were all fine and lasted until close to 60K miles. For improved traction in rain/snow, we went with Goodyear Tripletred Assurance. They have a bit more road noise than I would prefer but the grip improvement is noticeable.

The Blackhawks have to lose, right? Right?

Updated: April 9, 2013 11:53AM
Earlier this year I started a column by writing, "They have to lose sometime, right?''
Plain logic. Now, you gotta wonder. Maybe an apple can fly upward. Maybe Kris Jenner is sweet. Maybe E=MC3.
Because the Blackhawks have reached the halfway point in this lockout-shortened season, and they haven't lost in regulation yet, and I don't know when or how they are going to lose.
As we all now know — since everybody in Chicago is a hockey fan these days (thank you, Derrick Rose's injured ACL) — the Blackhawks have at least one point for every game, which means their 21-0-3 record is jaw-droppingly good.
They now hold the record for the NHL opening-season points streak, and — if you go back to last season, which we will — they have scored at least one point in 30 consecutive games. That's just five away from the NHL record.
And if you don't like the overtime part of this hockey equation — if you think those three non-wins should be called losses, just remember the Hawks now have 11 straight honest-to-God wins, a franchise record. Indeed, it will no longer be enough for them simply to win their second Stanley Cup in four seasons — they must blow through the playoff field like a shotgun blast through wallpaper.
OK, it's easy to predict and demand such stuff when you're sitting in the press box high above, away from stick knobs, all your teeth in place, nobody like the Sedin brothers bearing down on you. But, seriously, why should these guys lose?
It could have already happened, multiple times. But the Blackhawks have pulled out games in every way imaginable — with short-handed winners, shootout circuses, with fights, without fights, via nail-biters, annihilations, with an astounding 12 players scoring winning goals, with two goaltenders, which is something no great team does.
But the Hawks bonded so quickly after the torturous lockout that they might be the only team in the NHL that would have been hindered by playing exhibition games. It's like they have silent communication going between all parts, like bees in a colony. Consider that brilliant defensemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook have been in the Blackhawks system together for more than a decade (Keith was drafted in the second round in 2002; Seabrook in the first round in 2003), and maybe you can understand how they link up for goals, assists, and stops almost as one creature.
And, believe it, we here in Chicago are noticing. It seems impossible, but all 10 of the Hawks' highest-rated TV games have occurred this season. According to a report from Comcast SportsNet, which carries most of the games, 18 of the 19 highest-rated Hawks games (using household viewership) have occurred this year, with the highest-rated game ever being the second-to-last one, a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild, on Tuesday night.
There has been excited chatter about the 16-game winning streak the Miami Heat is on, as if it is somehow equal to or better than the Hawks' streak. Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell have even been tweeting cheerily back and forth with Heat hoops god LeBron James. "U guys are AWESOME!!'' tweeted James yesterday. "Keep rolling,'' replied the Kaner.
Nice, but irrelevant. Sixteen games in the middle of a season is not like 24 at the start. Not even close. You have a lot of chances to have a big streak sometime during a long season. You have only one chance at the beginning. Why, the 1995-96 Bulls won 18 in a row, after winning 12 in a row, after winning 10 of 11. They then had winning streaks of seven, six, six, six and five. The 1991-92 Bulls won 14 in a row and then 13 in row. In 1997, the Bulls started 12-0.
At any rate, that's nice what you're doing there, Miami. But it's not even the longest streak in the NBA this season.
The Blackhawks are in uncharted waters, or ice, here. Who is going to beat them? The Avalanche out there in Denver on Friday night? Edmonton back here on Sunday? The Blue Jackets, the Stars, the Ducks?
Any of it's possible. But then we're talking about crazy science here.
''We just take them one game at a time,'' said captain Jonathan Toews, using the greatest sports cliché ever to explain what the Blackhawks actually do.
The rest of us? We can take them by the two dozen.

About scarsgo's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've been a car nut almost since birth. I grew up in Northern Iowa which in most cases makes you a Ford or Chevy (or Mopar) guy but I never really got into them too much. I've always had a weird attraction to German cars... and even better if it is a somewhat rare or interesting model.
I blame my somewhat obscure taste in cars on my parents. They were not really into exotic cars per se but they did tend to go for the somewhat unusual cars. The first oddball they had was a 1984 Lincoln Mark VII Bill Blass with the BMW turbo diesel engine. They bought the car in early '85 and I remember the car getting lots of compliments at gas stations etc. I also remember it not starting during cold northern Iowa winters... that ultimately led to its demise in 1991 when it was traded for a Lincoln Continental which I hated with an absolute passion. Blech!
In early 1987 my father got the 1986 Merkur XR4ti that I would later 'inherit' as my first car. I remember wanting a Pontiac Fiero instead of the Merkur at the time but thankfully my parents ingored my advice at that time... heck, the Fiero would have probably burnt to the ground by now anyhow right? ;-)
In 1992 when I was still in high school my dad bought a 1987 Audi 4000 CS quattro as an all weather driver. Much to our surprise, the simple little car was a lot of fun to drive and proved to be very reliable. To top things off, it could assault a mountain of snow and just laugh... great little car that opened the door to lots of future German machinery.
In July of 1995 a 1993 Audi S4 quattro joined the family stable and it was the begining of the end. It was literally a four door hot rod super sedan and they (the parents) have been hooked on them ever since.... heck, I was hooked too and it led me to create S-CARS.ORG which is an enthusiast organization catering to Audi's high performance S and RS models.
I'm also the former webmaster for Audi Club North America (aka Quattro Club USA) and have been involved in a number of automotive sites online including Total Audi Performance, Anderson Motorsport, European Rally School, Total Subaru Performance, Total Focus Performance, German Auto Works, Singing Camel Land Rovers, The New York to Paris Race, and more.
While it is true that I really 'get into' German cars I really like all sorts of cars. It really is an illness isn't it? ;-)
I'm currently a Service Manager for German Auto Works in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
My first car
1986 Merkur XR4ti I got in high school back in 1992. I still own it.
Car I wish I still had
Several actually... my 1988 Porsche 928 S4, 1987 Porsche 944 turbo, or my 1990 Audi Coupe quattro 20V

What impact does Skype have upon you?
OK, you've received another message to update Skype. Or, you're proactive and have elected to update your latest version of Skype. Wait a minute, making free group video calls comes at cost (a day pass or subscription)?. So, it's one-to-one calls only now :@(. When then did that happen? I didn't even notice. Well never mind, in case you're wondering whether you've been hard done by, just take a minute to reflect the impact Skype has upon us all. You have to admit its been good to us.
The folk at Skype have created a timely infographic to highlight what Skype means to us all in its 'A day in the life of Skype'. Undoubtedly Skype continues to have a massive impact on my day, although I tend to use multiple similar services via Trillian. As for group video calling, Hangout on Google+ anyone?
Feast your eyes on the numbers below. And, do let us know what impact Skype has upon you.

Surviving Infidelity: The best advice you never heard
27 comments:
- AnonymousNovember 23, 2009 at 10:40 AM
The best chat-open to all sides of the triangle, but you better be to the point of accepting responsibility for your own actions. We don't pull our punches or coddle people in the midst of affairs. www.infidelity-help.com
ReplyDelete I am 4 weeks into learning of my husbands infidelity. We have 4 children and have been married for 21 years. He cheated with a woman from his high school past. It started with finding each other on facebook, hate facebook now. I found texts and emails that spelled out the affair and the fact that they spent 2 nights together out of town. I confronted him and than kicked him out of the house for 10 days. We finally talked, he apologized and said, :it had nothing to do with me" it was his problem and he wanted to work on our marriage. So here we are, going to counseling and trying to work through this web of deceit and lies.

I am going through the same betrayal and the situation is close to yours too. I also decided to stay and I am so glad to finally find a site in which others are trying to work it out rather then run.
Delete - AnonymousNovember 13, 2014 at 4:56 PM
I am going through a similar situation. About 5 months in. Married for 16 years, two school aged children. I am still feeling completely devastated - our marriage had problems, but this takes it to a new level. Attending marriage counseling, doing the best I can to move forward and reconcile - incredibly difficult. I feel your pain. I wish you well.
I'm so sorry you're going through this...but glad that you found us. I cringe every time someone mentions Facebook -- though I know that it doesn't make someone cheat, but simply makes it easier.
Brace yourself. I don't know what he's told you, but often the spouse who cheats minimizes what happened to keep you from leaving. Are you sure he's broken off all contact?
I don't want to upset you...but want you to understand and be prepared.
Hang in there. We're here to offer up advice, support and compassion. You CAN get through this. And you WILL come out the other side. Our best advice? Take care of yourself...treat yourself well.- AnonymousAugust 5, 2010 at 8:06 AM
A month ago I found out my husband hooked up with a woman from his childhood through Facebook.....yes, I hate Facebook, too!! I just found out 2 days ago that he hooked up with another lady through a dating site. Then I found his profile on some other sites, including sex dating sites! I'm really hating the internet right now........
ReplyDelete I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.
Like you, my situation just seemed to get worse the more I learned. More sites, more chat rooms, more hookups...
Quick word of advice? Get yourself checked out for STDs even if he says there was no sex. Is he admitting everything? Is he denying? You can install a keylogger on his computer to monitor his activity.
And please keep on posting. I, and certainly others who visit this site, can be a wealth of support. Survivinginfidelity.com is another awesome site -- with a huge user base.
Re. your comment: Like most things, the Internet can work both ways. I hate the ease the Internet has introduced into affairs. If you're gonna cheat, I figure you should have to work harder to get away with it!! (Kidding...sorta.)
But I appreciate that the Internet worked for me in that it opened up a world of other betrayed wives that understood my feelings and could commiserate without judgement (though not always without judgement!).- twice bittenAugust 13, 2010 at 9:25 AM
it doesn't really matter. my husband cheated with his secretary. he claims to think facebook is silly. whatever. he's silly.

I took my unfaithful husband back, and heard as much unhelpful and unwanted advice as you got. I read on the main infidelity sites: SI, MB, and DB. More recently I have been looking at marriageadvocates.com. There are so many excellent resources on the WWW for betrayed spouses, I am 'almost' glad it hapened when we had access to them, rather than in the pre WWW days.

A good beginning is half way to success. Unfortunately my reaction to finding out my husband of then ten years had a six week old child was not good. I didn't kick him out, I folded. I believed it was all me. I should have put less into my career, more into the marriage . . . Some of you know what I'm talking about. It's been almost 2 years since my D day (October 30, 2009). I'm still here, physically, however mentally is another story. My step son, I guess that's the proper term for your husband's illegitimate son, spends every other weekend at our home. I have become attached to this very adorable energetic little boy. After all it is not his fault that his parents have no moral compass.
I've tried very hard not to become the martyr. After all we are all human and although I believe I would never have an affair, there are other forms of betrayal, - AnonymousOctober 22, 2011 at 3:55 PM
To continue...
We don't talk about our marriage. We don't talk about his affair, which I believe is still continuing. My misguided philosophy is that if I don't want to be lied to, don't ask a question when I know the answer will be a lie.
I think I've made the decision to leave my marriage. I just haven't found the courage to take the first step. Where do you find the strength to venture out on your own? I think accepting a child shows incredible compassion on your part. While it's not the child's fault, the constant reminder can still be tough. And to be able to look at the child and see his value is a testament to your strength, I think, and your humanity.
I hope you can get past this, especially now that you're attached to the child. Sounds like he could use someone with integrity in his life. :)
Two years out is still pretty raw, I think. If your husband has learned and grown from this, I would think things will continue to get better. I hope so, for your sake.- AnonymousNovember 12, 2011 at 6:18 PM
it's been 10 days since d-day but the affair happened 2 years ago. he says he didn't know how to tell me. i found out via facebook. he wants to be with me, with our family, to work things out. i don't know what i want. no, wait, i know what i want. i want him to hold me, i want to pretend this never happened, i want my family. but i don't know if that's what is best for me. i like the advice of waiting 6 months, but do i let him live with me during that time? does that confuse things? he has somewhere else he can stay, but its more difficult with the day-to-day stuff. or maybe it's practice? i don't know.
ReplyDelete I'm so sorry for what you're going through...but glad you found us. And give yourself a break: Of course you don't know what you want. You've just been handled a huge shock and it will take time for your rational brain to catch up with your emotions. Give yourself time to process the information, which is life-changing. In the meantime, tell him that he can begin the process of healing by giving you whatever it is you need: space if that feels right, closeness if that feels right, each at various times if that feels right... Your moods will alter from minute to minute and, if he truly wants to save his marriage and you're willing to let him try, he needs to ride this roller coaster with you.
Regarding living arrangements, try and give yourself time to figure out what works for both of you. I didn't want my husband out of my sight until I figured out whether I wanted him gone for good, or here for good. But each woman has to walk the path that suits them.
In other words, there is no right or wrong. There is only what you need right now. And only you can figure that out.
Hang in there. It really, truly does get better...and easier. Time.

Today is day 86 since I discovered his affair. Today is also the first that that I have tried to think through the pain rather then being lost in it. It still takes my breath away to think about it and the questions and mental images still haunt me, but I think I am finally ready to start sorting through the mess. I decided that time away from him was the only way I would be able to do this so I drove 350 miles to come stay with my mother for a week. Mental Health Vacation. I am finally seeing how horrile I have "dealt" with his betrayl. I managed to stay calm when I confronted him, but all the anger and words that I didnt say have been killing me slowly. At times I don't think I could have even explained how I felt or what I was thinking; let alone how to say it. Apparently I thought I was "dealing"; when in reality I have been on a vicious downward spiral. I now see that I never gave myself permission to be mad, sad, angry and even to mourn; so I have bottled it up. Time to get a shovel and dig in! I know this is just the start and that there will be many more days when it sneaks up on me, but next time I will be prepared. These last few months have been a living hell and by far the hardest thing I have ever been faced with, but if it wasnt for finding this site and some eye opening articles on Oprahs website it may have very well taken me another 86 days to even get out of bed. Thank you for sharing your stories and your pain. Although we can't possibly believe else anyone knows or could survive our pain; it is helpful to know that I am not alone and that there is somewhere I can turn for support. God knows all my "friends" disappeared about two weeks into my spiral. Thank You again.
~Working on Me, in Colorado Dear "Me" in Colorado,
I'm really glad you found this site and that you're finding other areas on the Web that are helpful. Sadly, this is one those things that friends often can't help us through...even if they've gone through it themselves. Some friends can be wonderful through this...but in others, it can trigger feelings that they don't want to or can't yet look too closely at.
Which is sort of what likely happened to you in the days following D-Day. It's common to numb ourselves to such extreme emotional pain because we simply can't handle it all at once. Letting it trickle out in more manageable amounts is a survival tactic that can spare us in the early days. Of course, it's crucial that we do deal with the feelings at some point. We can't keep them buried forever or they'll come out in really unhealthy ways. But we can deal with them bit by bit.
Like you, I thought I was handling the whole situation quite well. It wasn't until a few months later that I really fell apart. I even considered suicide, though I can now see that I just wanted some way out of the pain and couldn't imagine a day that I would feel okay.
It's the one thing I wish I could really give to anyone reading this site -- the absolute belief that they will be okay. That the devastation will clear and life will make sense again.
It will...but you're right. You're going to have to dig through all the feelings that this has created: sadness, anger, confusion, hurt, resentment, fear... Feel them and then, as best you can, let them go. They exist to prompt you to take action to keep yourself safe. And to remind you that, within yourself, is a haven. Might not feel like it right now, but it's the biggest lesson for me in all of this: I alone am responsible to taking care of myself and ensuring that my needs and wants are considered.
Hang in there. If you want, share your experience and read others' comments about how they're healing from this.
We've walked in your shoes.

Lost my marital innocence about 4 months ago when, I asked my rarely seen anymore husband if we still had a marriage and he said I don't know. Sitting there looking down at the ground I just knew this was not just a I don't know if I love you anymore look.... I demanded is there someone else! Of course silence that screams yes while he musters the courage to say no to your face with every ounce of deceit he has left in him. It fills the space between my chest cavity where my heart has stopped beating and my lungs have refused to do their job anymore. I turned and grabbed my keys and drove down the street to scream at the top of my lungs in a secluded park parking lot. I drove back home after about 20 min. and asked the question again. this time the confession and the nightmare began.
ReplyDeleteRepliesSo sorry for what you're going through. I hope you'll find strength and comfort in the words and women here. We've been there. We're moving through it.

2 days ago my suspicions of my husband seeing somebody else were confirmed when I overheard a whispered argument between the two. I had asked him outright before if he was seeing someone (as far back as march), but he never admitted it. We have 3year old boy and 1 and a half year old girl who mean the world to us, but he has decided to leave us for her. I just cannot believe that he would give us up to follow this infatuation. He still wants to be part of the children's life and support us, but I just feel heart-broken and humiliated, especially that after the months of lying and stringing me along he has made this decision. I'm just so sad that we're not a family anymore.
Delete I'm so sorry for what you're going through. This must be excruciating for you, especially with two young kids.
On the up side, your kids are so young that you'll likely be spared the agony of watching their little hearts break because they won't really get what's happening beyond daddy not being around quite so much.
As awful as it is, the best thing for your kids is to have a relationship with your husband. And of course, he should support all of you. Forget the humiliation. That's how HE should be feeling. And the woman who would get involved with a married man and father. THEY are the ones who should feel like total douchebags.
A friend of mine cried every time her son would go to his father's house (because he ended up with the OW) but, to her credit, she never said or did anything to change her son's image of his "great" dad. The result is a really well-adjusted kid who's been allowed to love both his parents. And my friend, after licking her wounds for a couple of years, found a really great guy who she married and who is an incredible step-dad to her son. So life can still deliver happily-ever-afters.
For now, just put one foot in front of the other and focus on getting through the next five minutes, half-hour, day, etc. It gets easier.
Get yourself a lawyer and make sure you get every single thing you're entitled to.
And then count yourself lucky that SHE got stuck with the guy who lies and cheats and leaves his family. Of course, as a liar and cheater herself, maybe she hasn't noticed his lack of moral fibre.

I have been with my husband since I was 15. It was 3 years ago since I discovered my husband was cheating. After almost a year of counseling by a highly recommended therapist, I found my husband was still carrying on the affair even though he professed to love me and "he was only helping the girl as a father figure!". I believed my husband was ill and had a sexual addiction, as was diagnosed and continued to try to save a 40-year marriage. Unfortunately due to my trauma and fear, I did not listen to my new counselor who told me to stop seeing him for 6 months and work on myself. Then I needed to see true humbleness, transparency and sincerity. Not just in words, but in change of behavior and actions, with no time limit for my healing. I am now filing for divorce after finding an article on the Internet which proved that, once again my husband was still in contact with his mistress. I am baffled as he professes to want to be married to our kids. Why does a man do this. It is like half of my heart was ripped off when I found out and there is a permanent scar. I'll never be the same and my kids dont understand after a couple of years, why I still hurt. Can you explain this to me and to them? Will my husband ever be honest or the man I married again?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm so sorry for the continued pain you're going through.
Why does a man do this? Because he's broken. Hurt people hurt people, as the saying goes. He probably does love you the best he's able to love anyone at this point in time. Sadly, it isn't enough.
You're right that you'll never be the same...but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. You'll be wiser. Stronger. You can grow from this and come to a place where you can offer your love to someone better able to offer you his.
Your kids simply don't have the life experience to understand just how deeply betrayal cuts. I'm guessing that, on some level, they're hurt by their father's actions which might also feel like a rejection of them. But on the surface, they just want everything to be "okay" and to trust that their mom is going to get everyone through this.
Whether or not your husband can ever be honest is up to him. If he's willing to seek help for his broken-ness, it's possible. But he'll never be the man you married. He perhaps never was the man you thought you married.
In the meantime, you can't control him or his actions. Your counsellor is wise to encourage you to focus on your own healing. Become the most whole person you can, be a great mom to your kids and trust that, with time and healing, your life can be wonderful, with or without him.
Betrayal is really hard to work through and you do see the world through different eyes. I haven't shared my story with very many people because it's still raw and a lot of people do respond poorly. I love my husband and want to make my marriage work. People view you and your marriage differently if you share a story like this. I didn't even consider that there would be sites out there where you can talk about it anonymously, so I'll have to check these out. http://beyondaffairs.com/category/surviving-infidelity-testimonials/

Josh Wilson Bio
Artist Biographies
Josh Wilson Homepage | Josh Wilson Facebook |
Josh Wilson MySpace |
Talk to singer/songwriter Josh Wilson for very long, and you're bound to get a laugh. He infuses humor into even the minor detailsâ "like the "No Thanks" section of his liner notes, in which he calls out high gas prices, cavities, pop-up ads, and the Black Smoke Monster from "Lost." That deadpan sense of humor, not to mention a crop of cleverly constructed songs, definitely makes Josh stand out in a crowd. It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who once said that "music is the universal language of mankind." And for Josh Wilson, writing songs has always been the easiest, most therapeutic way of expressing exactly what's on his mind.
Growing up in Lubbock, Texas, he rarely remembers a day that didn't involve playing music. And by age 7, Josh's voracious appetite for all things musical wasn't simply limited to one instrument. After taking piano lessons, he also added drums and guitar to his growing repertoire. As he continued to hone his skills, it didn't surprise anyone, (including himself), when he moved to Nashville for further musical training. "I've always been a big believer in pursuing what you're passionate about," Josh shares. "I think God gives us all passions and talents, and ultimately, He wants us to use those for His glory. And since I happen to love music, I guess I always knew I'd do something with it."
While Josh wasn't exactly sure what that "something" would entail, he pursued a music business degree at Belmont University. After one semester of commercial guitar, Josh quickly ruled out a career as a studio musician ("everyone else was sooo over-the-top talented," Josh quips. "I mean how can you compete with that?") and eventually discovered a deep connection with the craft of writing lyrics. Even today, Josh is a self-proclaimed "lyrics guy" who wholeheartedly enjoys the sometimes-painstaking process of choosing the just right combination of words to coincide with his multi-faceted pop/rock sound. And his use of vivid lyrical imagery, not to mention a funny, easygoing stage presence (case in point: his spot-on love/hate letter to finances in "Dear Money") quickly earned Josh an enviable grassroots following during college.
While studying for classes and writing papers, the multitasking student moonlighted as a traveling musician during the weekends and summer break. Then after playing a showcase for his peers (and music industry execs), Josh's thoughtful reflections on life and faith, as well as his guy-next-door banter from stage, piqued the interest of EMI Music Group. Now with his major-label, critically acclaimed debut, Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup, Josh continues to communicate what's on his heart with 11 unique songs that he hopes will inspire and challenge fellow believers. "When I'm writing, I have the Church in mind," Josh says. "Our hope is in Christ and we need to consistently be pressing into the Gospel to learn what it really means to be a Christian. I want to encourage believers to hang on through the struggles because life isn't always good when we're living in a fallen world." When it comes to writing about deep subject matter in a poppy, three-minute format, even a wordsmith like Josh admits it can be trickyâ "hence the inspiration for his catchy first single, "3 Minute Song." "Sometimes when you're writing about God, fitting big ideas into a little song can be complicated," Josh shares. "That challenge is actually where the imagery for the album's title came from. It's like trying to fit an ocean in a cup. Trying to say something that hasn't already been said before about matters of faith or the God of the universe is a huge challenge. But I think as long as we're asking questions and not trying to provide all the answers, I think people can relate to that." Josh's refreshing honesty in a time of sorrow is also what makes a moving track like "Savior Please" so accessible to listeners.
"When I wrote this song, I had a really close friend who'd just been diagnosed with cancer. Another friend lost a job, and things in my life weren't going particularly well either," Josh remembers. "I'd been reading a lot in Psalms and was really resonating with all the times that David was basically saying â I'm not okay, life is not good right now, God where are you? I need you to save and deliver me.' So with all of these things swirling around in my mind, I wrote a song that is a plea for Christ to carry me through. It's hard not to have all the answersâ "I wish I did. But I don't." And when your target audience is the often-fickle college crowd, that universal message is music to their ears, which makes Josh such an engaging, much-needed addition to the Christian music scene.

House Education Chairman John Moore said teachers do not teach the week before Christmas and the two weeks before school ends and therefore it is reasonable to cut the school year by at least five days.
West Bolivar Superintendent Henry Phillips disagrees with Moore and he believes that the school year should be extended.
"We need more time in school instead of less time to do the job that we need to do with our students. If you really look at, 180 days is really not enough and to take an additional five days away would not be good," said Phillips.
"Mr. Moore has a habit of making blanket statements and that is never good. If we follow Moore's logic then we need three weeks. Instead of cutting school days by five, just go on and cut it by three weeks," he added.
According to Moore, there is no statistical data that shows any improvement in grades or test scores when the school year went from 170 to 175 and then to 180.
Moore has also said teachers have told him they do not teach the last month of the year.
Phillips said this is not true for the teachers in his school district.
"I think that the teachers in my district teach year round. The only way to prove this is by being in the schools and visiting the classrooms — when I visit the schools, my teachers are teaching," said Phillips.
Phillips said students usually take state mandated tests during the last week of April or the first week of May and the completion of state tests are not indicators of school ending.
"After state testing, it is normally about a two week span before school is out. The district allows teachers to teach things that they enjoy teaching," added Phillips.
"In my district, we try to cover all of the objective in three nine weeks and then we use the fourth nine weeks to go back over and teach skills that have been taught all year long. They try to work on the areas that the children have weaknesses during this time," he continued.
Moore's suggestion is a result of a new school-start law the legislature passed in 2012 that will take effect this fall.
It prohibits schools from starting before the third Monday in August.
Many school leaders opposed the change and have said it would result in removing holidays and having classes into June.
Moore said reducing the number of school days would prevent that.
State Superintendent of Education Carey Wright said she's not in favor of reducing school days and she finds it that hard to believe that Mississippi students aren't being taught in the final weeks of a school year.
"I hope Moore does not bring his own bill out and if he does I hope that his colleagues have the good since to vote it down," said Phillips.

Once a website or a person gets a certain amount of success and influence in the world, they tend to want to give back to the community (unless they're a real asshole). You see this all over the place. Actors, musicians, bloggers, all doing stuff for free and the proceeds going to a worthy cause. I think that I've reached the point in my career where it's my turn to give back to the community, but what should I give back to? Cancer? Been done. AIDs? Done. Homelessness? No thanks.
You see when I give back, I want it to be something that really matters to me. Something near and dear to my heart. Something like... tailgating, but how do I give back to tailgating? Well, let's have my dear friend from Wisconsin Sports Tap explain. Read the rest of this entry »

No go for Mongo — McMichael loses Romeoville mayor's bid; incumbents out in Dolton, Oak Lawn
BY JON SEIDEL Staff email@example.com April 9, 2013 8:50PM
Former Chicago Bear and Romeoville mayoral candidate Steve McMichael at his restaurant, Mongo McMichaels, on election night Tuesday, April 9, 2013. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media

Updated: May 11, 2013 6:43AM
The aura of the 1985 Chicago Bears ultimately wasn't enough for Steve McMichael to oust Romeoville Mayor John Noak as the leader of the southwest suburb.
Noak secured about 62 percent of the vote to McMichael's 38 percent with all precincts reporting Tuesday.
McMichael, a member of the Bears' Super Bowl championship team and owner of Mongo McMichael's in the Will County suburb, had boasted about using his celebrity status to try to win the election.
Dressed all in black and wearing an American flag pin in his lapel, he congratulated Noak for running a good campaign and said, "Boy, did I learn a lesson." But he said he planned to stay in the village and raise his daughter.
"There is another election in four years, isn't there?" he said.
Noak, in a phone interview, mostly focused on Romeoville's successes. But he also said the voters there "knew the issues, and the issues were what was most important to them."
"I was never worried," Noak said after winning his second full term. "I always believed in the voters."
In other south suburban contests, Cook County results showed Riley H. Rogers besting Dolton Mayor Ronnie C. Lewis. Rogers, who had 44.43 percent of the vote with all precincts reporting, said he was "cautiously optimistic" about the numbers. Lewis, who had 22.23 percent of the vote, said earlier in the evening he wasn't holding out hope of keeping his office.
"I don't know there's any reason to hold out any hope," Lewis said, "because the numbers are looking bad."
Oak Lawn Mayor Dave Heilmann also trailed challenger Sandra Bury, believed to be the first woman elected mayor of Oak Lawn with 53.33 percent of the vote with all but two precincts reporting. She said the victory was due to "teamwork."
"The people of Oak Lawn have spoken," she said. "It's time to do the people's work again and put Oak Lawn first."
Heilmann, who secured 46.67 percent of the vote, told supporters, "You don't know why people vote the way they do, but you respect it."
He said he has no regrets. "You say, 'good luck, do well, do great things for the community.'"
Farther south, in Tinley Park, incumbent Ed Zabrocki has been mayor so long a downtown plaza bears his name. And Tuesday night, he handily bested challenger Stephen Eberhardt, an attorney.
Zabrocki, who led with about 70 percent of the vote with all precincts reporting, called it a "validation of the work" by himself, the village trustees and the staff.
Eberhardt has said he ran because Zabrocki has been mayor since 1981. The incumbent won his ninth term Tuesday.
"It was a group effort," Zabrocki said.
Domingo Vargas was on his way to becoming the new mayor of Blue Island with about 62 percent of the vote. And Louis Presta was leading in Crestwood with about 44 percent of the vote, where Mayor Robert Stranczek chose not to run.
Stranczek took over as Crestwood's mayor in October 2007 after the retirement of his father, Chester. Presta said the win "feels great."
"I just want to move on and move Crestwood forward," Presta said.

The best things in life are often right in front of our noses, but we tend to take them for granted. William Bell put it best in 1961 when he recorded the soul classic "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" on Stax records. He realized just how true his words were in 1965, when Otis Redding re-recorded the song and had a much bigger hit with it. Even the Byrds had a semi-hit when they released the song in 1968 and again in 1990, as did Peter Tosh with his reggae version in 1972. Poor William Bell....his well never even filled up before it went dry. The concept is quite simple, really. All that goodness is surrounding each and every one of us, and we don't have a clue until it's gone.

Great to see all of the Canadians hanging out here. I live in the suburbs of Vancouver too.
Victoria32 I'm in Langley, whereabouts are you?
Tynehead area of Surrey. We are almost neighbours. We do some of our shopping and banking in Langley.
Well we are truly neighbours. I live near Willowbrook Mall/Clayton Heights. It's a really small world isn't it? I have a shortcut I take when I'm heading to the freeway and over the Port Mann bridge and it's through your area (although you probably don't want to hear that!)

Safavieh Martha Stewart MSR2321 Red Rug
Item #: 101MSR2321A-P Add to Wishlist
Description: Generations of New Englanders participated in the classic tradition of hook-rug crafting. An authentic hook rug brings a sense of charm to any room. Martha particularly likes the tapestry-like effect of petite-point hooking, because fine details can be rendered-almost like a drawing-using these small hook stitches. Our petit-point hooked rugs are made by hand, and produced with soft 100-percent wool yarns.
- Collection: Martha Stewart
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Hooked
- Styles: Country & Floral Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 2' 6" x 4' 3", 3' 9" x 5' 9", 2' 3" x 10', 5' 6" x 8' 6", 7' 9" x 9' 9", 8' 6" x 11' 6", 4' Round and 6' Round
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
So disappointed in this rug!!! It was very very dark. Closer to brown and tan than the picture depicts. This is the only time this has ever happened on this site. All my rug orders in the past have looked almost exactly like the picture depicted. I will return and hope a new selection fares better.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.
