Cramer Quick Take: My Top Oil Picks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With crude oil prices surging over the past couple of weeks, TheStreet's Jim Cramer tells Debra Borchardt a couple of solid ways to play oil.
Although crude production is at some of the highest levels in years, consumption is down. But does this mean that oil prices will fall, or will they continue to head higher?
Cramer said he thinks that the use by many companies of crude oil as an inflation hedge might have pumped up prices a bit.
He also added that on the conference call Schlumberger's (SLB - Get Report) management said consumption, particularly by China, is likely higher than many think and that it wasn't pumping as much oil as it could.
U.S.-based companies have been reporting record profits as well, due to the international exposure that WTI crude now has, making the United States an exporter of much more oil than in previous years. Cramer added that he doesn't expect crude oil prices to contract soon and that Brent crude will likely remain elevated for quite some time. For exposure, he said that the Action Alerts Plus portfolio just added to its Anadarko (APC - Get Report) position. Cramer also cited Schlumberger as having the year's single best quarter so far. He pointed to its expanding margins, increased revenue, improving technology and expansion into new markets as reasons to buy. Cramer concluded by telling investors to buy Schlumberger, even at these levels, and that he also likes Anadarko going forward. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. .

When disasters strike, many seniors rely solely on the courage and compassion of their local Meals On Wheels program staff and volunteers to deliver hope in times of unimaginable crisis. Meals On Wheels programs have always risen to the challenges brought on by these kinds of disasters, and are often the first line of support to seniors and others seeking aid. Before an emergency strikes, it is vital to increase the safety net for the frailest, most vulnerable and at risk members of a community. The Meals On Wheels Association of America offers Senior Nutrition Programs the help and support they need to create innovative partnerships and collaborations among Meals On Wheels program staff, volunteers and emergency community stakeholders.
Sometimes the scope and severity of a crisis hampers the ability of a Meals On Wheels program to serve as that vital lifeline for seniors. When that happens, the Meals On Wheels Association of America is ready to assist programs in their efforts to resume services.
Thanks to a generous contribution from the AARP Foundation, the Meals On Wheels Association of America has instituted the Emergency Response (ER) Fund. The Fund will help restore and strengthen programs impacted by disasters so they may continue their efforts to ensure that no senior goes hungry. While the initial funding came from the AARP Foundation, the Meals On Wheels Association of America will seek to raise additional resources for the Emergency Response Fund to prepare for future emergencies.For more information about the ER Fund, please visit http://www.mowaa.org/grants or contact us at 888-998-6325, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Agent workflow around the needs of the customer is limited in CRM platforms. In fact, most CRM systems attempt to enforce a process, but contact center interactions are not so predictable or linear.
Download the Paper
Alsco achieved a 42% improvement in up-sell Conversion Rate and improved First Call Resolution with the RiverStar solution.
Read the Case Study
"Since the deployment of RiverStar Studio, the call center has experienced a significant increase in efficiency .The efficiency was expected but not at this much of a gain."
Read the story about unifying a fragmented agent desktop that doubled sales conversion rates and improved agent training by more than 50%
Learn more about the Web Self Service solution RiverStar delivered to support Activision's customers around the troubleshooting process.
The way customer workflows are designed and interactions are handled should be independent of the call's origin – inbound or outbound. When developing a process, focus on how you want the interaction with the customer to flow, not on how the connection is made.
By driving interactions with repeatable, consistent processes, you are making the entire experience more pleasant for the customer and the agent. Once the connection between the parties is established, there is no fundamental difference between inbound and outbound interactions other than who initiated the contact. Therefore, at RiverStar, we see very little difference between the two when it comes to developing an efficient, effective and scalable process.
People generally think about outbound calling as needing scripts and workflows, but inbound calls also require consistent processes so that agents can easily identify and address customer issues – in other words, deliver great customer service.
With 80 to 90 percent of calls initiated by customers, developing inbound processes provides the greatest return on investment. In one case, we simply implemented efficient inbound calling process, which allowed our client, Blue Casa, to increase first-call resolution by 25 percent. Additionally, this same inbound process was fitted for an outbound call process to help new customers with proactive service issues. Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness on the majority of your calls through a process-based approach will result in happier customers and more productive agents.
The task of addressing inbound call issues may seem overwhelming when compared with those of outbound calls, where you have control of the content. You don't, however, have to address every possible scenario with a process-based solution. Apply the 80/20 rule to determine the top reasons for inbound calls – for example, placing orders, billing inquiries or troubleshooting – and develop processes for those. Just a few processes will likely cover the majority of your customer interactions. You can also develop a 'generic' process to handle the "other" calls. Over time, you can add additional processes as the volume of transactions warrants the effort.
In addition to being an excellent customer service tool, utilizing a BPM platform-as-a-service tool will help you collect data so you have reportable results that describe exactly what occurred during each interaction. Anything that you put in a process – clicks, questions, call resolution, etc. – can be captured, stored and reported on. Integrating data from both the process and from the call transaction – such as length of call, number dialed or number of people contacted – will add value to your reports, providing a complete record of every transaction.
Contact us today to find out how we help you develop integrated processes for any types of customer interactions

Chatterbox: Live Chat Archive, Episode 2
by Bridget in Behind the Scenes, Community, June 13, 2010Take two. Second episode, another hopeful's dreams, dashed (no spoilers until you check out the transcript). The top ten remain. Quite the dramatic evening here at Food Network. Duff was in the house--or on the pier in Santa Monica, as it happens--and had the Finalists cooking up savory dishes inspired by the sweetest of carnival foods. Sweet, or not so much. Cotton candy for dinner? A candy apple side dish? Waffle cones as a main? Not quite. The fair fare ranged from fantastic to brow-furrowing (Doreen, why are you so mad?) and the Finalists stepped up with confidence. (Aarti, that means you.) Bob, Susie and Bobby all had tough words, and so did fans. Plenty of you wanted to see Dzintra, Paul or Doreen go home--and even all three. Lots of you wanted Aria and Herb to stay. Wishes, granted. Call me Zoltar, just back from the carnival. In coming weeks, we'll have special guests joining the chat, so be sure to stop by. You never know if you'll catch a star, ready to share secrets. Meantime, vote for your favorite finalist and get every recipe (plus Instant Re-Flays, Bobby's makeovers of Finalists' dishes). Plus, check out the Episode 2 video gallery and check back here throughout the week to hear from Bob, Susie and Giada with their spin on all the action.

Acid Kuba Kuba Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 200 reviews
"Aspartame anyone?"
If you enjoy diet coke and the smell of glade air freshener, please proceed. If you however prefer a traditional fermented tobacco flavor, I strongly recommend passing on this smoke. I burned it for less than 1 minute before sending it to the graveyard.
Art Vandelay in St. Aug, FL January 24, 2015
"A Flavored Cigar. Not for everyone."
Famous sent me one of these as a bonus with a purchase. Never had tried one, and, truthfully, won't again. I like cigars, but I like the flavor of the tobaccos used in their making. Acid cigars have some type of coating or flavoring that dominates the taste and aroma of the cigar. Some will love that. I didn't.
Bob W. in Little Rock, Arkansas December 11, 2014
"Acid In My Humidor"
I tried one of these on the recommendation from a local cigar shop. I now buy a 5 pack with my routine purchases. The wrapper and smoke have a smooth, sweet taste mixed with a dark bold richness. They seem to go out pretty easy, so keep your fire handy.
Adam in San Diego November 26, 2014
"OMG! Really?"
If you are a true cigar smoker this is NOT a cigar for you! It smelled as if it had been doused in cologne of some type, just the taste of the wrapper against my lips was so sweet I could barely stand it.
If you truly love the flavor of a premium cigar, rolled with premium tobacco. Steer clear of these. It is NOT a pure leaf premium cigar. If on the other hand you want to look like you know what you re doing, it is a nicely rolled cigar. It just doesn t taste like one.
I couldn t even take a third draw before I had to throw it out.
Philip H in V.P. IL November 25, 2014
Very Good Cigar. I have smoked cigars for 30+ years. THIS cigar is VERY good!! The price is also very good. The draw and taste is what has made me buy them. Thanks! A++++
Robert S. in Loveland Ohio October 30, 2014
"My favorite... by a large margin"
Nothing bad to say about the Kuba Kuba. I love m
Steve in Thornville, Ohio July 29, 2014
"My new fav"
A friend told me about the kuba kuba. It was similar to the Java Latte also by Drew Estate, but the make, draw and overall experience is better with the kuba. It s my new go to!
VY in February 17, 2014
"Have yet to find one better"
I'm relatively new with the cigar world and still exploring. I've tried a good 30 various cigars so far and after every one so far I say I should have bought a Kuba Kuba instead. They caught my eye 2 years ago and as an occasional cigar smoker buying from various shops I've never had a problem with taste, burn, draw, etc. Always have been smooth. Great cigar. Those classy smokers can go ahead and stick with their dirt tasting cigars and I'll take these. Finger licking good!!
Rhys in Hopkins, MN December 27, 2013
"Great Experience"
I got this cigar in a sampler. The cigar has a strange spicy smell. I thought I was not going to like it. However, I smoked the cigar until my fingers burned. Great taste, easy draw, and great burn. Will buy again.
Joe in Maryland October 14, 2013
"Strangely awful!"
This is one strange cigar in that it looks, feels, and behaves almost perfectly. As if it were a creation of an artificial amalgamation of tobacco-like particles. Notice that the write up does not say 100% tobacco. Is it possible?
And the taste is aseptic to be kind. It taste like sucking on a eucalyptus stick. What kind of "tobacco" needs so much camouflage?
These were sent to me as samples from JR Cigars. No thanks!
Hovhannes in Los Angeles, ca October 11, 2013

Ronald Dworkin and Restricted Legal Interpretation
- … show all 0 hide
Chapter 5 analyses an important part of Ronald Dworkin's theory of 'law as integrity'. Dworkin aims at showing that principles and rights restrict legal interpretation and that this should be the case. In this chapter it is shown that his arguments regarding the existence and utility of these restrictions depend on some highly questionable assumptions. Like descriptions of law they need to be supported by arguments. The absence of convincing arguments for the assumptions makes Dworkin's view on rights as trumps seem more like an assumption than a conclusion.

Honda test driver Alex Wurz and BMW Sauber and Ferrari counterparts Christian Klien and Marc Gene will all be frontrunners in this weekends Le Mans 24 Hour race, after Peugeots three-car line-up dominated qualifying for the famous French endurance event.
The diesel-powered 908 machines took first, second and third on the grid, with pole position going to Peugeots number-eight entry, piloted by Wurz and former Minardi Formula One drivers Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin.
Kliens number-nine car, which he shares with ex-Toyota F1 stars Franck Montagny and Ricardo Zonta, starts second, while Gene lines up third in car number seven, along with 1997 Formula One world champion Jacques Villeneuve and Frenchman Nicolas Minassian.
Whilst Klien is a newcomer to Le Mans, Wurz is more familiar with the event, having become its youngest winner in 1996 when he took victory in a Joest Porsche. Gene - who fractured a toe after crashing heavily in practice for this years race - and Villeneuve also shared a Peugeot drive in 2007, but failed to finish.
Should Peugeot be first past the chequered flag on Sunday afternoon, the French company will break Audis stranglehold on the event, the German car giant having won for seven of the last eight years. Peugeots last victory was in 1993.
For Villeneuve, victory would hold particular resonance, as it would make him the first driver in history to have won the Formula One world championship, the Indianapolis 500, the Champ Car title and Le Mans.

Pacquiao dedicates title to PH, typhoon survivors
Macau, China (Reuters) - Manny Pacquiao dedicated his victory over American Brandon Rios on Sunday (November 24) to the Philippines and the people who have been affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan).
The Filipino registered a decisive, unanimous decision win to clinch the vacant WBO International welterweight title. Pacquiao was dominant throughout, showing vastly greater hand speed than his opponent and landing blistering combinations that left Rios' right eye swollen and his left eye bleeding.
More than his victory, the fighter, also a congressman from Sarangani in the Philippines, wanted to shift focus on the hardships faced by his countrymen following Typhoon Yolanda, which slammed into the nation on November 8 and killed at least 4,000 people.
"To all my kababayan, this fight is for you," Pacquiao said in the post-fight news conference. "Especially for those people and families who are affected by the typhoon. And I'm very happy that God answered my prayer. Thank you so much and have a good day."
Pacquiao was unable to score any knockdowns but he frustrated his foe, who on several occasions swung at nothing but air as the Filipino moved out of the way and returned fire before Rios could cover up.
For Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs), the win was a welcome return to form after a controversial points loss to Timothy Bradley in June 2012 and a sixth-round knockout at the hands of Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in December had prompted retirement talks.
The eight-weight world champion said he eased off in the final round as he did not want to punish Rios and had learned from his last fight against Marquez.
"In that corner, I know it's the last round and I didn't want to get careless so I backed up a little bit and give him chance to finish that. You know, I'm not doing that because, I'm not doing that because I'm tired or anything. I'm doing that because, you know, boxing is not about killing each other, boxing is about entertaining people and I think one to 12 rounds people are satisfied by my performance," Pacquiao said. "So why I'm trying to be careless like what happened on the last fight with Marquez. So, you know, that's my thinking also."
The tone of the fight was set early and remained the same for all twelve rounds. Rios (31-2-1, 22 KOs) put his gloves high in front of his face in an attempt to block Pacquiao's blows, but the eight-time world champion threw so many punches that quite a few broke through to leave their marks on the American's face.
Showing deft footwork, Pacquiao would jab, turn swiftly to one side, land another punch and turn again.
On several occasions, one straight left would be followed by another, and then, having pierced Rios' defence, Pacquiao would open up with a barrage of four or five punches, to the delight of the more than 13,000 in attendance at the Cotai Arena in the Venetian Macao.
Pacquiao's coach, Freddy Roach thought the Filipino could have finished off Rios and felt his compassion got in the way of delivering a knockout.
"Yeah Manny did take it easy in the last round. I feel he didn't step on the gas pedal," Roach said. "I think he could have finished Rios but the thing is, he told me there's no sense in beating him up anymore. He beat him in every round and he said there was no sense in trying to hurt the guy. So his compassion did get in the way a little bit but overall I think he boxed very well."
Roach added that had it not been for Rios' strong chin the American would have been knocked out earlier in the fight.
"Well Brandon Rios has a great chin like that and took a lot of shots," he said. "I don't think a lot of people would stand up under those, the amount of punches he took. He's just a tough, tough kid. And I'd like to see quicker knockouts, obviously but the thing is, the opponent was there and he's very tough and he took a beating like a man."
Pacquiao's victory has revived talks about him meeting American Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring in what is thought would be the highest grossing fight in history.
Roach agreed it is the fight everyone wants to see but suggested the world's best pound-for-pound fighter is not as quick as he once was.
"Mayweather in his last two fights was a little slow, he doesn't move as much with his legs," Roach said. "I think his legs are a little worn out, he doesn't move like he used to. I think Manny's speed would overwhelm him. I mean obviously that's a fight the whole world wants to see. If Bob (Arum) can make it, I'm sure he will."
Fight week had been marked by tension between the two fight camps, which culminated in Roach and members of the Rios team engaging in a scuffle on Wednesday morning but Rios was gracious in defeat.
"It was a great fight," Rios said. "I tried my hardest and I put my heart and soul into this fight. I bust my butt off in the gym. It's just, you know, Manny Pacquiao, he's quick. He's more quicker than I expected. I did train for quickness but the best Pacquiao showed up tonight and it was great.
"No disrespect to Manny Pacquiao and everything. His camp they done it very well, everything. I prepared myself very well. You know it just sucks because I really wanted to win. I really wanted to win so bad."
There were several hundred Filipino fans at the fight and they were naturally delighted with Pacquiao's victory.
"We're so very happy because Manny won the fight," said boxing fan Ray Garcia. "And the whole Philippines are very happy. Because we are number one. We are number one, the Philippines."

- MongoDB Drivers >

- Java Driver Replica Set Semantics
Java Driver Replica Set Semantics¶
The MongoDB Java driver handles failover in replicated setups with tuneable levels of transparency to the user. By default, a MongoClient connection object will ignore failures of secondaries, and reads will only throw a MongoException when the primary node is unavailable.
The level of exception reporting is tuneable however, using a specific WriteConcern ; you can set this on the MongoClient/DB/DBCollection/Method level. Several levels are included as static options:
Exceptions are only thrown when the primary node is unreachable for a read, or the full replica set is unreachable. |
Same as the above, but exceptions thrown when there is a server error on writes or reads. Calls getLastError(). |
Tries to write to two separate nodes. Same as the above, but will throw an exception if two writes are not possible. |
Same as WriteConcern.ACKNOWLEDGED, but also waits for write to be written to the journal. |
Additional errors may appear in the log files, these are for reporting purposes and logged based on the logging settings.
Sample code is provided which illustrates some of these options. To quickly initialize a sample replica set, you can use the mongo shell:
var rst = new ReplSetTest({ nodes : 3 })
rst.startSet() // wait for processes to start
rst.initiate() // wait for replica set initialization
Java client code demonstrating error handling is available:
Read Preferences and Tagging¶
MongoDB's read preferences and tagging allows application developers to target member nodes within a replica set for read or write operations. Version 2.2 brings several refinements on node tagging that give you greater control over how your data is read or written. Release 2.9.0 of the Java driver has been built in coordination with the release of MongoDB 2.2 and provides full access to these newly available preferences and tagging features.
Read Preferences¶
A read preference provides client applications with control over which nodes of a replica set are used for reads. A client application defines its read preference by selecting one of the five behavioral modes:
The default read mode. Read from primary only. Throw an error if primary is unavailable. Cannot be combined with tags.
Read from primary if available, otherwise a secondary.
Read from a secondary node if available, otherwise error.
Read from a secondary if available, otherwise read from the primary.
Read from any member node from the set of nodes which respond the fastest. The responsiveness of a node is measured with pings. Any node whose ping time is within 15 milliseconds of the node with the lowest ping time is considered near.
The Java driver implements MongoDB's read preferences with the ReadPreference class. Client applications allocate the desired read mode by calling one of ReadPreference's static factory methods. One factory method exists for each mode.
The factory method returns a private inner subclass of ReadPreference that implements the correct behavioral mode. The driver's use of polymorphism in this manner means that your code only needs to interface with the ReadPreference class alone.
Suppose we are developing an application and we prefer operate on strongly consistent data, (i.e. read requests always return the most recent updates of a given document). In this case, the primary node will handle all reads and writes. Now suppose our application must be able to perform reads even if the primary becomes unavailable for some reason. Even though we prefer data consistency we can tolerate eventual consistency when the primary is down. We therefore use the primary preferred mode as our read preference.
ReadPreference preference = ReadPreference.primaryPreferred();
DBCursor cur = new DBCursor(collection, query, null, preference);
The Java driver maintains knowledge and state of the replica set by periodically pinging the member nodes and can detect the loss of a member. In this example, the driver will automatically detect the loss of the primary and route the read request to a secondary node, just as we have instructed.
As of version 2.0 of MongoDB, each node within your replica set can be marked with additional descriptors called tags. Tags can be used to indicate a node's location, membership in a designated set, or other characteristics. Tags enable your application to read from or write to specific nodes or a set of nodes in a replica set.
As an example, suppose we're running a replica set of three nodes deployed across three separate data centers. Each of these data centers is in a separate geographic location. We want to ensure that our data will persist in the event of a disaster, so we mark each node with a tag indicating the region where it lives. Our replica set configuration might look similar to this:
foo:SECONDARY> rs.conf()
"_id" : "foo",
"version" : 103132,
"members" : [
"_id" : 0,
"host" : "localhost:27017",
"priority" : 10,
"tags" : {
"datacenter" : "Los Angeles",
"region" : "US_West"
"_id" : 1,
"host" : "localhost:27018",
"tags" : {
"datacenter" : "San Jose",
"region" : "US_West"
"_id" : 2,
"host" : "localhost:27019",
"tags" : {
"datacenter" : "Richmond",
"region" : "US_East"
"settings" : {
"getLastErrorModes" : {
"DRSafe" : {
"region" : 2
Notice the settings field in the replication configuration. We've defined a new getLastErrorModes object with the key DRSafe. When our client application uses this error mode in a write concern it is instructing the write operation to replicate to at least two regions before completion. Here's an example in the Java driver:
// create a write concern with the specific getLastErrorMode
WriteConcern concern = new WriteConcern("DRSafe");
// an insert with the custom write concern
coll.insert(new BasicDBObject("name", "simple doc"), concern);
By allocating a write concern using the "DRSafe" error mode and passing it in on the insert, we have now ensured that our data has been backed up to two separate regions and will be available should a data center fail.
Using Tags with Read Preferences¶
Continuing with our sample application, we decide that we want to send our read requests to the nearest node to reduce request latency. The Java driver's read preference API gives a couple of ways of doing this, the easiest is to simply use the nearest mode.
DBObject query = new BasicDBObject("name", "simple doc")
DBObject result =
coll.findOne(query, null, ReadPreference.nearest());
By using the nearest mode the driver will automatically send the read to one of a set of nodes with the lowest ping time relative to the client application, (the receiving node could be either a primary or secondary). But suppose our client application can determine where its requests originate. We could have explicitly tagged the read preference to use the datacenter nearest to our location.
Look again at the replica set configuration from above. Each node has been tagged by data center. Let's say that the current read request is coming from southern California. We can configure this read request to be served by the node living in our Los Angeles data center.
// initialize a properly tagged read preference
ReadPreference tagged_pref =
ReadPreference.secondaryPreferred(new BasicDBObject("datacenter", "Los Angeles"));
// include the tagged read preference in this request}}
DBObject result = coll.findOne(}}
new BasicDBObject("name", "simple doc"), null, tagged_pref);
Read preferences can also accept multiple tags. Returning to our example application, suppose we want to send our reads either the "Los Angeles" node, or failing to find a healthy member in Los Angeles a node in the "US_West" region:
// read from either LA or US_West
DBObject tagSetOne = new BasicDBObject("datacenter", "Los Angeles"):
DBObject tagSetTwo = new BasicDBObject("region", "US_West");
ReadPreference pref =
ReadPreference.primaryPreferred(tagSetOne, tagSetTwo);
In this example, the driver looks first for a member tagged with datacenter "Los Angeles". If it cannot find an available member, the driver will it look for a member tagged with region of "US_West". You may use a tag set to define a set of required tags a member node must have to be used for the read. For example:
// read from either LA or US_West
DBObject tagSetOne = new BasicDBObject("datacenter", "Los Angeles");
tagSetOne.put("rack", "1");
DBObject tagSetTwo = new BasicDBObject("region", "US_West");
ReadPreference pref =
ReadPreference.primaryPreferred(tagSetOne, tagSetTwo);
The difference being the driver is looking for a node that is tagged with both data center "Los Angeles" and on rack 1, or a node that is in region "US_West".
You can set the Read Preference at the operation, collection, DB, Mongo, MongoOptions, or MongoURI level, and the preference will be inherited similar to the way slaveOk and write concern are. Read preferences work with any server version that supports replica sets (1.6 and up). Tagged read preferences work with any version that supports tagging (2.0 and up). However, tagging will only work on a sharded cluster if you are connecting to a mongos running 2.2 or above.

Hannah's character
Basics: Hannah Meyer age 17, Born August 1, 1995. Lives in Bradenton, Florida
Blond hair, blue eyes. What is your happiest memory? My happiest memory was when I finally got to meet my mom's parents. They lived on the east side of Berlin and did something that got them put in prison for a while. I'm not sure what they did because my mom won't talk about it. What don't you want anyone to find out about you? I am afraid to let my guard down. What I mean is, I've seen so many of my friends get hurt in relationships or by their parents breaking up. I hear my parents fighting a lot and so I'm afraid to show any TRUE emotions or to trust people. You just never know when they are going to dump you or hurt you. It sometimes paralyzes me to the point that I sit back and watch things happen and do nothing. I'm scared that if my life really depended on it or if my family or friends lives depended on me me doing something or risk getting hurt, I would do nothing. It is safer to build walls around my feelings so that I don't get hurt. What is the best part of your personality? I can be very fun to be around. I am very creative. Whenever we have any projects to do my friends all want me in their group because they say I'll come up with a "fun" idea, and I usually do. I can be the life of the party if I let my wall down. How would your best friend describe how you look? My best friend would say I have honey colored hair. I have really weird eyes. They are blue. The thing is she says she can tell what kind of mood I'm in when she looks at me. When I am happy and everything is going well she says my eyes are the color of a crystal clear blue lake in winter time. When I am in a bad mood they go to a blue gray color. She must like lakes because she said is it like looking at a lake under a cloudy sky. You can see the blue but it is severely gray. I am 5'8 and have a medium build. My best friend says she wishes she had some meat on her bones so she didn't look anorexic all the time. I think is is her way of saying I'm not too thin or too fat. She likes to borrow clothes from me because I have a bohemian style of dressing. That doesn't mean I can't get dressed up if I need to. What irritates you? I can't stand someone who just keeps running their mouth. You know the kind that has to tell you every single fact and detail about everything that is in their head. I want to slam them in the face. Tell me about your family. What's to tell? My mom's name is Ivonne and my dad's name is Stefan. They both grew up in East Berlin. After they moved to West Berlin they got married and then a few years later moved to the United States. That is all I know about their life there. Here in Bradenton my mom has an art gallery. She works with glass and pottery. She has always loved this. My dad works in construction. He started his own design firm but then decided he had to build his designs as well. He builds custom treehouses, playhouses, and things like that. He says he feels the most freedom when he is creating with his own hands. What do you think of yourself when you look in the mirror? I think that I need to take more chances and live. I see someone who always has a frown or pout on her face. I see someone who feels sad and scared more than she feels happy. I see someone who feels trapped behind a wall of her own creating, yet feels there is another wall, that if she could just break through it would hold the answers to tearing down her own walls. I hope that makes sense to you. What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? My mom sold this really beautiful glass lamp to a lady. The lady asked me to carry it to the car for her. I didn't really want to because I'm always afraid I will break something my mom has made. My mom insisted I carry it for her. I went to open the door for the lady at the same time she reached for it. She bumped into me, sending me and the lamp into the door breaking it. I immediately burst into tears. The lady kept telling me she was sure my mom could fix it and that it was her fault for running into me. I was so embarrassed. My mom let her pick a different lamp, one that was more expensive at no extra cost. I refused to go to my moms gallery after that. Do you have a crush on anyone? I have a crush on one of the soccer players at school. I would never let him know this because you know how it goes, he might reject me, or we might get together and then break up. I'm not ready for that yet. What do you really, REALLY want more than anything else in the world? I want to go to Germany and find out what it is my parents don't want me to know about their past. I think it would help all of us so much. They won't talk about any of it. I have read about East Berlin and East Germany and the Wall, but I only have one side of the story. Sometimes I think that is what they are fighting about. Is there anything you would die for? I would die for my family, friends and my freedom. I think if it came right down to it, at least I hope, my fears would not get in my way. Is there anything you are really good at? Besides reading? Yeah, I guess I kind of got some of my parents crafting or artistic genes. I like to create things from fabric. For example, one day I was at the park with a basket of fabric scraps. I just felt like sitting under a tree and creating for a while. A little girl came up and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was going to make something. She asked if I could make her a little doll because she lost hers. I told her mom to come back in an hour and I'd have a small doll for her daughter. It was just a simple rag doll, but the look on that little girls face made me feel so good about that doll. |

Teen Anger: Techniques to Avoid the Buildup
All teenagers occasionally grow angry and rebellious and express these emotions in some fashion. Some methods of acknowledging aggressive feelings produce problems, others don't.Anger and feelings of disapproval build up and then are released through different methods. We can exemplify this situation by using the image of an "anger" balloon. Each time something happens that we do not like, air is forced into the balloon and it starts to expand. Eventually, air has to be let out of the balloon. How anger is expressed is different for different people. Some people let anger build up until their balloon pops, and when this happens there may be an explosive outburst of anger over a minor annoyance. After this display of anger, there is usually a period of control until the balloon blows up again. Other people release air from the balloon every time it starts to fill. These are the individuals who appropriately express their feelings at the time they occur. Some other individuals release air through passive-aggressive maneuvers, displacement, or physical complaints.
In addition to helping the teenager appropriately express and deal with his or her angry feelings, parents should try to reduce the accumulation of anger and deal appropriately with aggressive and rebellious behaviors when they occur. The techniques that follow should help.
Encourage Appropriate Communication
The most effective way to deal with anger and rebellious behavior is to have teenagers appropriately communicate their feelings of disapproval and resentment. Encourage them to express and explain negative feelings, sources of anger, and their opinions—that is, what angers them, what we do that they do not like, what they disapprove of. If a teenager expresses emotions appropriately, in a normal tone of voice, she should not be viewed as rude or disrespectful. This is an appropriate expression of anger, and the youngster should not be reprimanded or punished. In other words, allow teenagers to complain, disagree, or disapprove, provided they are not sarcastic, flippant, or nasty. Remember, though, that allowing a child to shout, swear, or be fresh does not teach effective communication of emotions.
Listen. If the teenager is complaining about excessive restrictions, punishments, or other things that she does not like, listen. Try to understand her feelings. If the complaints are realistic, see if something can be worked out and resolved, or if a compromise can be achieved.
Avoid Excessive Negative Attention
It's a mistake to pay more attention to what the child is doing wrong—his failures, mistakes, misbehaviors—than to what he is doing right—his successes, achievements, good behaviors. When you go to bed at night, review the day you have had with your child. Have you spent as much time during the day looking at his appropriate behaviors as you have looking at his inappropriate actions? You should avoid using punishment as a primary method of control. Instead, substitute positive consequences, which place the emphasis on good behavior rather than on bad behavior. Eliminate verbal punishment (hollering, putting down the adolescent, name-calling, excessive criticism), and use reward as a disciplinary tactic. Emphasize successes, accomplishments, achievements, and good behaviors. Pay more attention to normal good behavior and be positive.
Constant nagging of a teenager will certainly result in a buildup of anger, resentment, and aggressive behaviors.
Try Not to React to Passive-Aggressive Behavior
Some of the opposition, stubbornness, resistance, and other passive-aggressive maneuvers of teenagers are designed to express anger and/or to get a reaction from the parents. Ignoring this behavior is often an effective way to reduce it.
Some ways of dealing with this passive-aggressive behavior will result in the development of more anger, while others will help deflate the anger balloon. For example, a child is told to set the table for dinner. While setting the table, she mumbles under her breath and every now and then you hear comments like, "They think I'm a slave. I want to go live at Grandma's, where I'm appreciated." Along with the mumbling, she is angrily tossing ice in the glasses and banging down the plates and silverware. This teenager is annoyed because she feels she has better things to do than set the table. Her mumbling and other actions are passive-aggressive maneuvers to express her anger and resentment. These behaviors are releasing anger and letting air out of the anger balloon. If you react to her mumbling by criticizing or scolding, you will be putting more air back into the balloon—that is, the anger that was initially released by the child's complaining and defiance will be offset by a buildup of additional aggressive feelings. By using the consequence of ignoring her, this additional buildup of anger can be eliminated.
There are several things that must be kept in mind when using this consequence, and there are a few different ways to ignore the behavior. In general, if you ask a teenager to do something and he is doing it, although complaining the whole time, ignore his complaints since he is doing what you asked.
Avoid Random Discipline
Parents often discipline after the fact. I call this random discipline. They set a rule and wait for the adolescent to break it before they decide upon a consequence. To teenagers, the concept of fairness is extremely important. If they are disciplined in this fashion, they may frequently feel unjustly treated. In addition, random discipline often makes teenagers feel that others are responsible for what has happened to them and anger is apt to develop. You should spell out the rules and consequences for your child's behavior at the same time. The most important part of this process is not the rule, but the consequence. Put the responsibility for what happens to the child squarely on his or her shoulders.
Don't Get into a Power Struggle
You tell the adolescent to clean his room and he refuses. Then you threaten, "You had better clean it, or you're not going out on Saturday." He replies, "You can't make me clean it and I'm going out on Saturday, anyway." Then you say something, he says something, you both begin to shout, and a full-blown power struggle has developed. This is a good way to generate anger in your child.
When possible, avoid battles and power struggles, which only lead to a buildup of anger. At times, it may be better to have the child experience the consequence of his behavior rather than to win the battle and get him to do what you want. If you try to win each fight, you may battle the child throughout adolescence, and will probably end up losing the war.

TJC student suffers partially collapsed lung, injured ribs after being run over by assistant basketball coach
POSTED: Monday, September 9, 2013 - 3:17pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 9, 2013 - 8:30pm
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — Tyler Junior College police are investigating a morning accident involving a student being struck by a car on a campus parking lot.
At approximately 8:50 a.m. today, TJC student Jamie Guerra was struck by a car as she was walking across the faculty/staff parking lot located near the Pirtle Technology building at the corner of East Lake Street and South Mahon Avenue.
The vehicle was driven by its owner, TJC employee Zereda "Precious" Ivy.
According to reports, Ivy was on her way to work and was driving in the faculty/staff lot and Guerra was hit from the back and fell, with the car rolling over her.
Witnesses said several students ran to assist, helping to move the car enough to free Guerra and rendering aid until first-responders arrived on the scene.
The student was transported to East Texas Medical Center and is reportedly conscious and in stable condition, with two injured ribs, partially collapsed lungs, a laceration over her eye, multiple bruises and "road rash." Officials said she would be admitted to the hospital overnight for observation.
TJC President Dr. Mike Metke visited Guerra at the hospital and said, "Jamie is an amazing young woman and excellent student who is studying to become an engineer. I'm so pleased that it appears she will make a speedy recovery and hopefully be back in her classes soon.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Jamie for a quick recovery, and our thanks go out to those quick-thinking students who reacted so hastily and ran to help."
The accident remains under investigation.

The First covers are just fine, but the red 2-disc is simply ugly. Thank Bruce for the absolutely fabulous last cover! From what country is it?
I hope it has Dutch subtitles (sometimes we are lucky on that with the UK versions), so if the release in Belgium or The Netherlands isn't really all that I can go for the UK Edition.
I LOVE the cover art of the UK special edition. If they don't release the special edition in Spain, that's the one I'll buy.
woo!! UK gets the best cover!! Go us!!
wait a min..if region 1 is for the US, region 2 is Europe & region 4 is Australia, then what's Region 3? Asia, maybe? There is also a Region 0 but I think that's just, like, a universal kind of thing. Why do DVDs have to have different regions?? It's annoying!! Oh well...I'll just go back to my small hole-in-the-ground now. Toodles!
Wow.... the dvd looks really good. I guess I'll wait for the collector's edition to come out in Australia. Thanks so much for the information~

After combing through scores and talking to a few coaches, I've come up with a new girls soccer top ten, which may or may not be a surprise. I don't have records for all the teams, but this is what has been reported to Maxpreps.
What's this: It got a little testy recently in a game between Bonita and Alta Loma, which ended in a 2-2 tie. The Bearcats are at least 3-2-2, but don't have all their scores to include them in the top ten rankings.
1. Glendora (7-1-1) — The Tartans have been the most impressive so far, outscoring their opponents 17-3, which includes six straight shutouts and wins over JSerra, Claremont, Jarupa Valley and Diamond Ranch.
2. Bishop Amat (7-0-2) - What a huge surprise. I knew the Lancers had a group of talented freshman and that coach Ruben Gonzalez would eventually turn it around, but they own a 3-0 victory over Los Altos, and only have allowed five goals and have six shutouts on the young season.
3. St. Lucy's (4-2-2) – Impressive wins over Katella, Rancho Cucamonga, and who can fault a loss to national power Upland, 5-2. The Regents also have beaten Northview, but lost a close game to Maranatha, a westside power, 2-1 in the Claremont tourney.
4. Los Altos (9-2) — Another huge surprise. After advancing to the championship of the La Mirada tournament, the Conquerors captured the Garey tournament title on Monday with a 2-0 victory over Magnolia behind a pair of goals from Malasia Avery.
5. Walnut (2-1) - Obviously they haven't reported all their scores, but we know the Mustangs are among the area's elite. Hint, hint, get up to speed over there in Mustang-land.
6. South Hills (6-3-2) – Our preseason No. 1 hasn't lived up to it yet. They have impressive wins over Chino Hills, Don Lugo, but also a loss to San Dimas. They need to be more consistent to climb this list.
7. San Dimas (7-2-4) -- The Saints have been hit and miss but they're scoring goals at a rapid pace, already with 43 in just 13 games. They've beaten teams they're supposed to beat, but against St. Lucy's in the Claremont tournament, they got beat 5-0.
8. Diamond Ranch (2-2-2) – Not sure if we have all the results, but they have a nice tie with Maranatha, a 2-0 loss to Glendora, but only have allowed five goals in the six games that have been reported.
9. Charter Oak (7-3-2) - Undefeated against area teams with wins over West Covina and Covina, but didn't look good in season-opening 3-0 loss to Arcadia.
10. Baldwin Park (7-1-1) – The Braves have outscored their opponents 29-8, but their schedule has been friendly and their lone loss was a 3-2 setback against Rowland.

Career Tips
In order to give your self the best chance of success when applying for a job there a few things you should be thinking about before sending off that CV or application form.
We thought it would useful to give you a few handy tips to help maximise your chances of success.
Do your research
Be clear about who you are applying to. We are sure that after reading our website that you will want to work for Mi-space, but do your research and make sure that that we are the kind of organisation that you want to have a career with.
Understand the job that you are applying for. Make sure you have the necessary skills and qualifications as well as the enthusiasm and commitment for the role.
First Contact
Your job application, whether an application form, a speculative letter or a CV, is your first contact with a prospective employer. It is your first chance to impress, and make yourself stand out from the crowd.
Read the job details thoroughly and plan your course of action – tailor you application to the job. If your application is accurate, presentable and interesting you are more likely to get that very important interview.
Your objective is to convince us that you have the skills, and enthusiasm to do the job. First impressions are crucial. Take your time with an application and make sure it is good. You won't get a second chance to create that right first impression.
Application Forms
If you are filling in one of our application forms, make sure you read it through and make sure you understand what information is wanted before completing the form in rough. These steps may help:
- Follow the instructions and only do what you are asked to do.
- Write clearly and use black ink as it photocopies better.
- Answer the questions as fully as possible, but don't waffle. Show that you can organise and express your thoughts clearly.
- Have someone check through your completed form. If you have made a mistake, cross it out neatly and correct it.
- Make a copy for yourself.
- Write a short covering letter to go with the application form.
A CV is a record of your personal, education and work details. It should be typed and make sure it is up to date. Ideally it should be no more than two to three pages long with each page printed on a separate sheet. Pages should not be numbered and use headings. For example, Education, Career History. Don't use fancy layouts as these can detract from the contents of your CV.
Be confident and use positive language, as this will make a good impression on the reader. Don't make general statements about your qualities. Make sure you can support your statements with evidence. Try to link your skills and experience to the requirements of the job you are applying for.
CVs should include:
- your full name, address and phone numbers
- details of your education, including the name of the school/college/university, attendance dates, qualifications achieved and when
- any professional qualifications you have
- your career history starting with your present or most recent employer.
- A personal summary of you as an individual, including you achievements and aspirations
Other points to consider are:
- Be careful when writing dates for your education and career history. People have been known to state that they started a job in 2002 and left in 1999!
- unless there is specific criteria for the advertised job, you don't have to include personal details such as your sex, nationality, marital status, age and date of birth or whether or not you have children.
- only give details of hobbies, interests and other skills if they are relevant to the job you are applying for.
- you can also include details of two referees at the end of your CV. Give names, positions, addresses and phone numbers. Make sure you have their permission first. If space is tight, state that references are available on request.
Covering Letters:
- draw together all the facts and comments in your CV and make an overall 'case' for being a suitable candidate for the job
- be typed
- be set out clearly on good-quality paper.
Check it for mistakes before sending it out!
Keep your layout simple. Open punctuation and a blocked style are acceptable, especially if the letter is typed. Put your phone number after your address and print your full name after your signature.
Your covering letter should include:
- An explanation of the job you are applying for.
- Details of your education and any qualifications you have or expect to obtain.
- Details of any other relevant skills and work experience and say why you want this job.
- If you have any keen interests, and the space, include them here. Don't include things like 'socialising' and 'travelling', be more specific.
- Say when you would be available for interview and when you would be available for work.
- Give the names, positions, addresses and phone numbers of two or three people who have already agreed to give you a reference.
Always keep a copy of any job applications in case you are invited to an interview. It's nice to remember the things you wrote or didn't write!
Have someone check your application first in rough and then your final copy.

Pillow Progress
We promised a post about the project that kept us busy yesterday, so we'll be sharing that as soon as we can get the pics uploaded and sized (we had to wait until this morning to shoot afters in the daylight). Until then, here's another pillow post (notice a theme lately?) that we've owed you for the past week.
We mentioned during our failed shower curtain attempt that our trip to HomeGoods wasn't entirely fruitless. But we just realized we never elaborated about the, er, fruit. So here we go: we found this bold pair of greeny-gold pillows that practically screamed "I want to date your duvet." So we introduced them:
They were just $24 for the pair (12 bucks a pop), and we thought they'd complement our bedding perfectly – especially with that subtle lattice pattern and the shiny fabric to add some texture and interest. And we like the idea of a white pillow in front of them for contrast, so we're thinking we'll try to hunt down something similar to the ruffled pillow in the West Elm picture below on the cheap from TJ Maxx or World Market instead. Or maybe we'll just go crazy and pick up a bright randomly colored pillow (eggplant? navy?) and work it in with art and other accessories that'll be introduced to the room as we go. For now our white Paris pillow above works as a placeholder of sorts. No rush.
We're enjoying the extra dose of color among our formerly-all-white pillow collection on the new bed. And that "we" includes Clara (who likes to play hide and seek behind them)…
…and her big brother (who likes to go crazy in general, on and around them). Watch his antics on Vimeo below or over here on YouTube:
Ah dogs and pillows. Gotta love them.
Beefier post to come when we're done uploading and sizing pics!
You heard it here first. "Purloined" is the new "snagged." Just kidding. I'm just being weird. John didn't even know what it meant when he walked by and saw the title. "What the.. purloined?… are you sure that's a word?" was his exact response. Which is exactly what I'm going for. Not. Yes, I'm bringing back "not" too. I'm in a strange mood. Anyway, we're still working on a few different projects today (details soon!), but we figured we'd pop in and share what we recently snagged purloined at Tar-hay (btw, Tar-hay is the new Tar-jay):
Ok, so purloined might mean "get by any means necessary" or "steal" – but we paid for them like good law abiding citizens. I couldn't pass up these patterned gray velvet pillows for Karl. At $24 a pop (well, plus 5% off that since I used my trusty Tar-hay card) they're not insanely cheap (like my $2.50 pillow from Bed Bath & Beyond) but they're nice and big (around 18″). And the velvety texture and pattern feel a lot more high end than the usual big-box store purchase (nothing piddly and cheap looking will do for our new family member sectional). So I choose to think of them as around $75 cheaper than the big textured ones I drool over at places like Restoration Hardware or Williams Sonoma Home. Glass half full, style.
Of course we'll add in some serious color too with some other pillows, art, curtains- etc. Don't want a big gray room with nothing but a gray sectional and gray pillows. The reason I liked the textured gray tone on tone look was because I thought they would layer in with other pops of colors and even other more obvious high-contrast prints for something that's not too crazy but just interesting enough. Can't wait to see them sitting on The American Dream when it arrives (yes that's Karl's other nickname). If not we'll just return them. No harm, no fowl.
Psst: "No harm, no fowl" is the new "no harm, no foul." Spread the word.
Psssst: Did I mention I'm in a weird mood?
