Daily Support Mon. Feb. 21st through Sun. Feb. 27th
Happy President's Day!! Is everyone off today? Stop by and say hello anyway.
Good morning!
I'm a working gal too. We don't have a holiday, but I'm working from home because we awoke to 6 inches of snow. Sick of the white stuff.
Thanks again for the birthday wishes last Friday.
Hope everyone has a safe and healthy week.
Hi Guys---Working girl here too!
I started SS'ing today. I'll start counting the days...
Raeanne- CONGRATS on the 10 pound SS loss! No one noticing though - what is WRONG with people? lol! I would notice!!! Are you drinking any wine or are you being FIERCE about it?
Get this! I sent an email pic of myself (& kids)to my sister and she texted me with: "Get after it! Reverse the trend!" She was referring to my SIZE --then she told me she walked 3 miles already yesterday morning. I felt kind of mad at first, but then I looked at myself and said...it's true. I do need to "reverse this trend."
Supposed to snow here this week, but we'll see...so far just cold and DAMP.
The 2 kids I had this weekend were fun...we went all over the rock doing outdoor activities. One thing about having kids is I get OUT more! But waking up at 4am, 6 am, etc for kiddie potty and water runs is exhausting! Still, I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Happy Monday, everyone!
I'm "off" today, and everyday since I retired. One of these days, I may need to find a part-time job, but until then......!
We're enjoying very warm temps the last few days, in the mid-80's, but a cool front is heading our way in another day or two. I'm just not ready to turn on the a/c in February!!!
I've missed posting lately, but the momentum has been absent in me of late. I need to snap out of this and get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. I hope everyone's having a good first day of the week!
Hi everyone! I am off because I have no job! LOL But if I were working this would be an optional day meaning if I worked today I could trade it for another day. It's a totally dead day in most places so it was a no brainer for me.
Carolyn, it's good to hear from you. I worry as I know how easy it is to become isolated from the world. I spent most of my time alone too and I understand! Keep in touch girl.
Weather here is cold and bitter again. Relentless bitter wind. I was out of electricity all day Saturday! It went off at 6am just as I came in from the barn. A tree fell on the power lines at the road and they came and cut it down early afternoon but still no power. I kept reporting my outage on line. By dark I was really starting to get upset. I have water at the barn but no electricity with the generator so the buckets were all freezing up. Not a good thing for horses in winter. I have electricity at my house and I was perfectly comfortable mind you but i was worried about my animals. At about 9:30 two big power trucks backed into my driveway all lit up like the fourth of July! I was so happy to see them. They worked on the pole near the barn and had me up and running in less than half an hour! One of those big porcelain things that look like a spring had snapped right off in the wind. I wonder why it took SO long to get it fixed but oh well, I was happy when it was. I could not sleep well with the generator running all night for fear it would run out of gas or something. Isn�t Mark lucky to miss all this fun??
Does anyone here remember the movie Baby Boom with Diane Keaton? Do you remember the scene where she has bought the house in VT - she had to fix the roof and all kinds of things. The snow is waist deep and it's cold because of no furnace? Then the repair man is there to tell her the well has gone dry? This is where she flips out and ends up on the Dr. table crying her eyes out? (the dr. is a vet but she doesn't know it just yet) remember? that was me! I was that stressed but today I am having a good laugh about it. Six inches of snow? Ha, try six feet! I want it to be gone now. No, I mean now! LOL
Dee - I tried to get on here to post Birthday wishes, but I kept getting booted off (that's when I went to Facebook) - that lasted for 2 days. So Happy Birthday. Even though your original plans didn't work out, Plan B sounded pretty good. We will just have to celebrate in May - when I can give you a real hug.
BJ - I have actually have lost 12 now and no one has said a word. I know DH is probably afraid to mention it, just in case I haven't lost, but everyone else, come on - especially since I have given up wine too!!! This actually may lead me to drink. How was your weekend with the little ones? Welcome back to SS. Did you get the "Sexy Forever" book, there are a few new rules that are very nice, like adding peanut butter and nuts - even at the detox and level 1.
I not only worked today, I worked 4 hours overtime. We leave Friday for vacation and I am trying to get caught up.
Suzanne - you cracked me up with the Baby Boom scenario. I love that movie and I believe I would have done more than cried if I were you.
Carolyn - nothing like nice weather to help get you out of a funk.
Hugs to Jan and McPeg and anyone else that needs or wants them.
Day 29**
Suzanne, I loved "Baby Boom," especially the scene with the vet (I also had a crush on Sam Shepherd, who played the vet - so sexy in a rugged way.) I wish I could share some of our sunshine with you. It's been like spring the last few days, so nice.
Happy belated birthday, Dee!
Raeanne, congratulations on your 12 pound weight loss - that's amazing!
Not much happening. We had our good friends visit over the weekend. Sat out by the fireplace Saturday night and laughed and reminisced.
My husband wasn't able to have chemo last week because of low platelets, but they were high enough today so he could have treatment. Thank God. He seems a little more fatigued than the first treatment, but other than that, okay.
Will have to catch up later. Hope everyone has a good week. My thoughts are also with Iva Mae - wasn't she scheduled for treatment on the 18th?
Jan, so good to see you! Glad your DH was able to get treatment.
Ivamae, please check in with us if you are around.
MIA's we are looking for you all to sneak in here and say "hello"!
Raeanne, congrats on the weight loss!
I need something drastic, soon! Addicted to carbs over here.
Keeping my head high!
Thanks for paging me. I've been absent for a few days. I had my surgey last Friday. Everything went as well as could be expected. I go back in a couple of weeks to see the surgeon so will see what she says about follow-up treatment then.
I did weigh last Wednesday and was up 2 pounds. I guess food was my security blanket. I'll get it off come spring. Right now I'm not worying about it, too much
All the best to everyone and I do appreciate your paging..
Happy Tuesday!
It was Family Day in Ontario, Canada on Monday. Lots of folk off.
It's wonderful seeing everyone - lots of hugs to each of you. I'm not good at tracking other folks total weight loss. Congratulations to you losers!
I've been trying to maintain. My weight bounces between 136 - 138. I've gained back 136.5 (half pound). Not sweating it because the dizzy spells have been gone since I've started maintenance. I just want to make sure I keep closer to 135 - 137 and not more. Focusing a lot on lunch plate sizes, eating breakfast and filling half my plate with veggies. Also focusing on fruit more too.
Can't wait til next Monday to see my new doctor. My winter tune-up continues. Winter? What winter? I've got SPRING FEVER so bad...I've got baby seedlings taking over now. I actually might have to murder some.....she looks around nervously....what am I saying???? Murdering my babies! No, NO! Not my babies! Quick, take a prozac, splash some water on my face. Not my babies!!!!!
Our snow has melted quite a bit, weather completely abnormal for here at this time of year. Going into warmer temperatures for the next week of just below freezing. Expect this at the end of March, not now. They are forecasting a hot, dry summer. Not good for farmers. I expect to collect old sheets to cover my plant frames (keep out deer, rabbits, raccoons etc.) so my plants don't burn to a crisp. Putting in a cold frame outside in mid-March to start more seeds in there. I'm not an addict, really. I could stop planting seeds any time I want....but murder? OMG I've mentally crossed the line.......time to see the doc for sure!!!!!!
Have a wonderful day, week. I got caught up unpacking more boxes and sorting through stuff.
Happy Wednesday Night! We did not have internet all day long here on the island...but now we do! There is a cable that runs under the water to the mainland for power and phone/internet. Sometimes, when it snows - and it DID today!- it's back to the 80's for us - no internet and no cell phones!
Ivamae-So nice to see you check in! (((((HUGS))))))
Peggy: You are too funny! And I'm sure you're not addicted - you've probably quit hundreds of times - lol.
NHSuzanne, et al: I put Baby Boom on my Netflix list. I don't hink I've ever seen it, but now I have to watch it.
Raeanne: I haven't gotten the new book, but am following the old SS food plan and feel very good. I made SS cheesecake today, since I am snowed in. Smelled so good while baking and I really love a PRO/FAT treat like that.
DeeMarie~ I know what you mean about the carb craziness. That's why I went back to SS after I saw Raeanne's success on it. I had to do something...
Okay, we're supposed to get high winds and more snow. We're on weather service Winter Storm Watch. Whatever. I have warmth, food, and family, and 1 chicken in the coop. The pheasant flew out of the coop and up into the old woodpecker's nest and has been happy as a clam up there for 3 days, so I guess she's fine. She flies to the coop for food and water during the day and then back up into the tree. She's got 9 lives, I swear.
Good Thursday all,
Peggy, I am envious of your being able to successfully use a cold frame already! No way here. We still have tons of snow on the ground and more on the way tonight. I think of you planting all your seeds. Over the years since I started planting my own seeds I have had to show constraint! I mean, what am I going to do with 80 tomato plants? Seriously. LOL In a couple of weeks I will be starting some seed so it's close.
BJ, good to hear from you. Hope your storm passes quickly without any big problems. I too have the new SS book and want to absorb it before I start.
Raeanne, are you nice and svelte for your trip? I hope you have a great time.
I am so excited to announce that we will be adding to our four legged family! We are bringing home a family of three Pygmy goats! A doe and her two kid twins a boy and a girl. We are very excited about this new addition. We went up to see them on Tuesday. They were born last Thursday so are only one week old. The will be able to come home on March 5th. The mother's name is Charity so we are trying to think of names that tie in with hers. Faith and Hope do but we have a boy and a girl so the boys name I need help with. This is the baby girl:
This is the baby boy:
I don't have a picture of Charity yet. I cannot wait!!
suzanne, what beautiful, precious creatures! I just want to hug them.
This is probably a stretch, but if you search the thesaurus for charity, "goodwill" pops up. How about "Good Will," you could call him Will for short.
Just a thought. Can't wait to see more pics.
NHSuzanne: They are so CUTE! I love the baby girl's "eyeliner!" What a geat addition to your family. That'll keep ya busy!
I woke up with the headache I had last night. I think I need an adjustment in my thyroid meds...either that or the LACK of sugar and artificial ingredients in my diet right now! lol. Tough to get stuff done when my head has this stabbing pain...
I hope this bitter cold goes AWAY! School is on the late start schedule this morning and it is freezing here.
I am still on the SS Diet track...feeling good and in control. Pre-planning meals and snacks is a must!
Carolyn~I'm so glad to see you posting. I actually came here wanting some advice & thought you could give me some.
We are only going to be here in Florida another month. I know when we first moved here all I could talk about was moving back to TX. However, the past couple of years I made such wonderful friends & we got this great apartment & I didn't think we would ever leave. We are almost all packed up. I just have the scraproom left. Yeah that's going to be a JOB!!! But, I was going through things today & saw a couple of things from people I've lost these past few years & a paper that I wrote my BFF's name & number on the 1st time we met. Many great & not so great memories. Some that were reminders of why we left TX in the 1st place. I just feel so depressed & it makes me want to hide away hoping that nobody will find me & I can somehow stay here. Silly, I know. I am excited about the 2 4-legged family members we are picking up in Denton on our way to our new home. I know with them the plan is to get outside & exercise. Plus with the grandkids around I hope they keep me outside & going too. But my thought is to hide away.
BJ~I'm proud of you for starting a new track.
Jan~I love the name you suggested. Glad your DH finally got the 2nd treatment.
NH Suzanne~I'm a little envious. ;)
Peggy~You are a RIOT! :)
Ivamae~Glad you are back posting.
Raeanne~Congrats on the weight loss! You go!!!
Tikanis~Come back & post some more. What's going on?
Dee~Are you heading out on vacation soon?
Well, guess I cried enough about my problems. Have a great day everyone. Make this one count. :) Patti
Patti: It's been years since you've been there. You'd be surprised at how much water's gone under the bridge. Don't engage in negative thoughts about such a POSITIVE move! Concentrate on the future.
Looking in the REAR VIEW mirror while you're driving in life will make you crash! Look out the windscreen in FRONT of you! THAT is where you are going!
You will have a wonderful time in TX, girl!!!
I'm grumpy at work today. This headache's getting the best of me. Every time I grouch about anything that has to do with aches and pains, DH begins by saying, "Well, we're BOTH overweight..." Well, I decided that THAT will motivate me instead of make me mad! He's NOT going to be able to say that at this time next year...lol.
Looking forward to seeing my cousins tonight for girls night at a Spanish restaurant. Thinking shrimp! yummmmm
This weekend will be laid back; need to put summer clothes aside for our vacation. We leave next Saturday for 2 weeks.
Keeping everyone here in my thoughts. Hope your weekend is happy!
Thanks BJ~You are right of course. And, don't let your DH control the way you feel about yourself. It is good that you are turning it into a positive & let it motivate you. You do TOO many good & great things to let ANYONE bring you down. I don't know about you but I don't do my best thinking when I'm mad. I am much smarter & a better thinker when I am calm & cool. (Just sayin'!) :)
Dee~I know you are getting excited about your trip. Sounds like you have great plans for this evening too.
We are giving the furniture to the Care Center today. I have to get that scrap room done now. It will take a lot of time but it is the most important room of the house for me. I did donate all my scraps to the club here b/c they are just getting started & I thought they could use them to make cards & such.
Have a great weekend. Patti :)
Patti! Good luck with your scrap room! I have all my scrap stuff boxed up from my last move. I am supposed to make FOUR Lifebooks for foster kids I've had. I keep putting them off because I want them to be PERFECT - wrong-o, I know, but...but...but...
DeeMarie: SHRIMP sounds SO good! This place I used to go to on the mainland had the best Shrimp, onions, and green pepper dish with some kind of red sauce...YUM! Where are you goign on your vacation? (I missed the destination) Sounds warm, at least!
Still FREEZING here. I sanded the driveway last night since it took me 1-1/2 tries to get out yesterday!
Stickin' to the plan...feeling much better...but still have the sugar/coffee/artificial junk withdrawal headache.
SOOOOOOOOO glad it's FRIDAY!!
What are YOU doing this weekend? I was going to go to the local native plant sale, but they postpond it until the weather heats up and people can actually put the plants in the ground! Now I think I'll take DH dancing on Saturday-some friends are playing at a local club.
Well, I just can't believe it. I dropped the 2 pounds that I had gained. I don't know how that happened - probably fluid.
I'm feeling much better. Each day is an improvement but still need lots of rest it seems. I've got good movement in the arm now without it hurting and it isn't hurting to lie on that side now. I'm supposed to take the tapes off on Monday if they haven't come off themselves. There is no sign of them loosening. I'm dreading doing that. Wish someone else would, but I don't really have anyone to ask.
Good luck wild chicken. You can do it. Letting others put you down is not a good thing to do. Putting others down is not good either. I have a sign on my desk that says " Don' take unfair advantage of any person and don't let any person take unfair advantage of you" I don't know where I found those words, but at the time they were meant for me. It knocks all the confidence out of oneself until you decide to take action. It appears you have reached that point. I'm sure that will motivate you. Just perseverve and you will lose that weight. Think how happy you will be!!! Please keep us updated. That helps, too. I know it helped me.
All the best to eveyone.
Hi folks,
We've all been challenged this week as I can see on this thread.
Just to let you know I have not murdered any of my children. Been super busy transplanting a number into larger containers. I am not using a cold frame at all - it's all indoors. My mini-greenhouse fills one side of my patio door and I'm now having the floor on the other side fill up and chairs behind the floor plants with more trays of potted up seedlings. Just could not murder any of them. Already planning what I can sow starting the last week of March into April.
Today I am going back onto WW but at the upper end of the points. Monday I finally get to see the doctor and start the wheels in motion to sort my normal abnormalities out.
This week has been busy at home - have no idea where time goes but it goes.
Not much news otherwise. Love those baby goat photos - they are so darn adorable.
Will try to check in on a regular basis again.
LOL to everyone!
Happy Saturday!
Just got back from Zumba class and I'm full of energy. Gonna jump into the shower and run out for groceries. House is already put together...tomorrow laundry (which is more fun for me than grocery shopping!)
Make this SATURDAY count!
Happy Saturday!
Ivamae: Sounds like you are on the mend... :-) I'm glad the 2 pounds left!
Peg--Sounds like your "nursery" is in full swing! I'll miss our local plant sale here next week because I'll be on the mainland. Oh, well, I might visit a plant store there and get a few things.
Dee: Someone just started Zumba here. I heard it's fun! ANY movement is GOOD!
I have a mountain of laundry to do and gotta help teenaged DD clean her room -SCARY!!!
It's still freezing here - just won't let up.
Good Saturday all,
We are getting dug out from yet another foot of snow! We had a two week hiatus from snow and it felt so good not to have to shovel and plow! Oh well, Spring is coming that's for sure. I am getting tired of this!
Ivamae, don't you have a visiting nurses association where you live? They come to your home and help you with what you need help with after surgery, etc. I don't know where you live or I would try to get that info for you. My husband had visiting nurse association after he had cancer surgery. They were great helping me learn how to change his bandages, etc. Try to find them almost all towns have them. I posted a link here for you. Glad things are going well for you.
Jan, I like your name suggestion! Pretty clever of you girl. We feel like we have to get to know them before we name them but your suggestion was great!
We are in to have lunch and back out again. The fun and this winter never ends! LOL
Here is a link that might be useful: Find a Visting Nurses Assocation
Snow flurries today and just darned cold!
Weekends are tough on the food plan.
I am determined. (I have to keep repeating that!--lol)
Good suggestion, NHSuzanne, for Ivamae. I don't know how sticky the bandages are, but baby oil takes bandaids and first aid tape off in a jiffy...
Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, we do have visiting nurses. I hadn't even thought of that. Also my grand daughter is a RPN. If she is available, I know she would gladly do it.
I had never heard of the oil. That would be simple too.
One way or another, they will get off.
Thanks again for all the nice comments and good advice.
Good Sunday all,
Can you believe another 8" of snow has fallen overnight and it will not stop snowing until early afternoon? This has been some winter but still not record amounts! We are expecting yet another storm tomorrow.
I was really hoping to spend my Sunday inside getting things squared away here for our new goat babies and not out moving snow. Oh well.
Ivamae, it would be good to have some help if you can get it. You might not be able to see everything.
I hope everyone is having a warm cozy Sunday! Looks like March will be coming in like a lion here in New England!
It is 75 degrees here. I've spent the last hour trimming shrubs and miscanthus grasses. My face is already red as a beet, and I'm on my third bottled water.
I've been watching old movies all weekend. The Diary of Ann Frank and Cleopatra. The Diary of Ann Frank was a remake with Maximillian Shell, Joan Plowright, Doris Roberts, and the Gilbert girl. It still moved me, and I can't imagine living during the horror of that time.
I remember my grandmother taking us to see Cleopatra, and I had my eyes closed the entire time, because the Catholic Church had listed it on whatever the list ((was it called the Legion of Decency?) was back in 1963. My grandmother was Baptist, so she didn't care, but I just knew we were all going to hell for watching it. Funny how tame it all seemed today when I watched it, and since I had my eyes shut then, it was like seeing it for the first time!
I'm excited about the Oscar's tonight. The only movie I've seen that was nominated was "The Fighter," which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Have a good evening.
Ivamae--Well, I'm glad you have some options. Let us know how it goes. We care.
Wodka--I laughed when I read your post! How times have changed, eh? I haven't seen any of the movies probably. We don't have TV to watch the Oscars, but afterwards, we put a few of them on ur Netflix list and watch them at home. The movie theater here basically runs movies geared toward teens, but I am GLAD for that, as it gives the teens something to do in our small town.
NHSuzanne--Wow. I hope you get some time to RELAX, girlfriend!!! Those babies are so cute--you're going to have SO much fun with them!
This weekend has been challenging. Knowing I am weighing myself tomorrow is helping - lol - but I can really see how much I am a junk food junkie on weekends by the cravings I'm having! Being good so far though...

✿❀ Queensland Orchid International ❀✿
SoundEagle would like to belatedly invite all of you to celebrate Christmas and New Year with this multimedia post containing some impressive Orchid Christmas Trees, Computer & Web Graphics, Games & Animations, a thoughtful Poem and Season Greetings.
This relatively new and multifaceted website explores the world of orchids through a multitude of perspectives pertaining not only to gardening, botany, horticulture, art, craft, decor, culture, social media, photography, festival, event, history and research, but also to the myriad details of personal stories and human senses, unfolding across the generative processes and intersubjective journeys of discovering, appreciating and preserving the beauty and diversity of orchids, as manifested throughout people's relationships with their plants, hobbies, professions and surroundings.
It is hoped that some of the offerings on this website can also serve as a bridge, conduit or crossing between the East and the West, between the laypersons and the experts, between the proven and the experimental, between the old data and the new findings, between the documented and the anecdotal, by way of judicious translation, edification, promotion and dissemination of information pertaining to the long cultures and traditions that have accompanied certain orchids and their ardent champions through the dynamic synergy of various pursuits and domains, including science, art, literature, poetry, gardening and horticulture.

SoundEagle wishing you a prosperous Chinese New Year of the Horse 馬 and a Happy New Year 2014 with Annual Surplus 年年有餘
Hello! SoundEagle is back in action here after a fairly long hiatus. The Year 2013 is farewelled by SoundEagle with a special post entitled Cosmos in Perspective: Scaling the Universe with Interactive Infographics, Film, Animation and Slideshow. In contrast, the Year 2014 is welcomed with a festive, eclectic post laden with multimedia and multitudinousness, including games, video and music as well as numerous season greetings and best wishes conveyed to you in Chinese.
May you have hours of fun and enjoyment!
Chinese New Year of 2014 begins on the 31st of January and ends on the 14th of February, the Valentine's Day. This double celebration represents a culmination of the Eastern Culture (emphasizing Relationship and Kinship 關係和親情) meeting and amalgamating with the Western Culture (emphasizing Romance and Love 浪漫和愛情). It provides a good indicator and macrocosmic example of the increased intensification and extensive interpenetration of economic, social and cultural practices and relations as globalization continues to expand in the 21st century. Specifically, this can be both seen and heard in the dynamic results of musical hybridisations and cross-cultural collaborations, as the following musical performances demonstrate:
◊ 新年快樂 ◊ 萬事如意 ◊ 得心應手 ◊
◊ 財源廣進 ◊ 恭喜發財 ◊ 合家幸福 ◊

Chinese New Year is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the first day of the year of the Chinese calendar. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival, the literal translation of the modern Chinese name. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally run from Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. Since the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year". The Chinese New Year Day is always between January 20 to February 20 of the Gregorian calendar each year.

Farewell 2013 and Welcome 2014: Celebrating Christmas and New Year with Festive Art, Poetry and Games
Special Poem &
❄ Snowflakes ❅
I have a list of folks I know all written in a book,
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are of a part,
Not of the book in which they're written, but of my very heart.
Each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime,
And in that meeting they've become the rhythm of the rhyme.
And while it sounds fantastic of me to make this claim,
I really feel that I'm composed of each remembered name.
And while you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you has shaped my life more than you can think.
For once you've met somebody, those years they can't erase,
The memories of a pleasant word or of a friendly face.
So never think that my Christmas greeting is just a mere routine,
Of names upon a Christmas list forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas greeting that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on that list of folks whom I am indebted to.
For I'm but a total of the many ones I've met,
And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget.
And whether I've known you for many years or few,
In some way you had a part in shaping things I do.
So every year when Christmas comes, I realize anew,
The biggest gift that life can give is meeting someone like you.
And may the spirit of Christmas that forever and ever endures,
Leave its richest blessings in the heart of you and yours.

- Daily Prompt: Mix Tape Masterpiece (dailypost.wordpress.com)
Marble as Decorative Collectable, Art Glass, Toy and Computer Game
•⃝ Marble Preamble ⃝•
This is an interactive and multifaceted post from SoundEagle to you. The subject is marble, presented through the media of text, art, graphics, games, history, music and videos, then culminating in the two computer games for your amusement and challenge!
Typically made from glass, clay, pottery (including bennington and china), steel, plastic or agate, and sometimes even wood, stone or papier mache, a marble is a versatile and often attractive sphere used in ball games, street or playground games, board games, jewellery, art glass, decorative vases, spray paint cans and other industrial applications. Rare, vintage, handmade, specialty and art marbles are avidly collected by aficionados.
Marbles have been featured in family-oriented movies such as Goonies, Hook and Home Alone.
•⃝ Marble History ⃝•
Ancient marbles were usually made of clay, stone or glass, and were deemed to be originated in Harappan civilization in Pakistan near the Indus river. Stone marbles were found on excavation near Mohenjo-daro; whereas clay marbles were discovered in the tombs of ancient Egypt, and in Native American burial grounds and ancient Aztec pyramids. Marbles are often mentioned in Roman literature. According to MarbleCollecting.com:
Marbles, round spherical objects apparently used to play games, have been in existence for at least the past 3,000 years. They have been found in Egyptian pyramids and in North American indian mounds. An annual marble tournament has been played in Tinsley Green, England on Good Friday for at least the past 300 years. And the United States National Marbles Tournament is still held the third weekend of June in Wildwood, New Jersey.
The first marbles were round stones, nuts or fired pieces of clay and pottery. The Pretty Little Pocket Book, a Newberry book, reprinted by Isaiah Thomas in 1787, contains a verse on playing marbles. William Blake, in his book of prose, Songs of Innocence (1798), painted an illustration of three boys playing marbles for his poem "The Schoolboy". An original copy of this can still be viewed at the British Center for Art at Yale University. This is one of the earliest known illustrations of glass marbles.
•⃝ Marble Makers ⃝•
Expensive handmade antique glass marbles were produced mostly in Germany from 1860 to 1914. Mass production of inexpensive ceramic marbles commenced in the 1870s. In Akron, Ohio, the first mass-produced toy (clay) marbles came from S C Dyke in the early 1890s, whilst some of the earliest glass marbles were produced by James Harvey Leighton, and also later, by Martin Frederick Christensen on his patented machine in 1903. The M F Christensen & Son Co. manufactured millions of toy and industrial glass marbles until they ceased operations in 1917. Started by Akronites in 1911 at Clarksburg, West Virginia, Akron Agate was the next company to enter the glass marble market.
Marbles have since become a favourite game amonst children as much as bowling, billards and snookers are the staples of adult games involving hitting balls with precision. Nowadays, computer games, mobile devices, social media, modern entertainments, high-tech toys and other distractions have eroded the popularity of many ball games, including marbles. As a result, and alongside the outcomes of market outsourcing, offshoring and globalization, there are only two American-based toy marble manufacturers: Jabo Vitro in Reno, Ohio, and Marble King in Paden City, West Virginia.
Outside the United States of America, Vacor de Mexico is the largest maker of machine-made marbles, producing over 90% of the marbles in the world. It has an office in Kansas City, Montana. According to MarbleCollecting.com:
We do know that stone marbles were produced in Germany in at least the early 1800's. It appears that pottery marbles were produced in Germany and in England, during this time period. In The Boys' Own Book, published by Charles S. Francis, New York, 1829, the rating of different kinds of marbles was listed….
In 1905, Martin F. Christensen of Akron Ohio hit upon the idea to use a machine to produce "perfectly round spheres". This provided the Americans with the ability to compete with the Germans on two fronts. First, their marbles were superior for shooting. Because they were made by machine, and not by hand, they had no pontils. This greatly aided a marble shooter because he did not have to be concerned with the irregularities of a slightly out of round handmade marble with rough ends when trying to shoot a straight line. Second, the use of machinery allowed the Americans to greatly reduce their unit cost of production. Thus prices could be lowered and American marbles could compete with the Germans.
By the mid-1920's, the Germans were effectively out of the marble-making business. Almost all marbles were made by machine in the United States. The following two decades saw what is described as "The Golden Age of Machine Mades". The large marble makers of the time began to compete with each other to produce more unique designs and more colorful marbles each season. This period of time saw the introduction of Akro Agate corkscrews and Popeyes, Peltier National Line Rainbos, swirls and Peerless Patches, and the rise and fall of The Christensen Agate Company. By the Great Depression, Akro Agate Company and Peltier Glass Company had become the largest producers of marbles. With the advent of the Great Depression, marble manufacturers became more cost conscious and brightly colored marbles began to disappear from the scene.
By World War II, Master Marble Company and Vitro Agate Company had entered the marble market. Akro Agate Company failed in 1951 and Vitro Agate Company and Marble King became the largest U.S. manufacturers, but faced stiff competition from Japanese imports of catseyes. By the 1960's, virtually all marbles were made in the Far East. During the 1970's, marble playing saw a steady decline, as video games became more popular and readily available. Also, marble making shifted to Mexico, with Vacor de Mexico becoming the largest marble manufacturer.

@PurpleSpark: Brook Farm was a utopian experiment in communal living in the 1840's. A Unitarian minister George Ripley and wife Sophia Ripley was inspired by the ideals of Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism beliefs are an ideal spiritual state that transcends the physical and empirical and is realized only through the individual's intuition rather than through the doctrines of established religions.
People living at Brook Farm shared the workload, which left plenty of time for leisure activities and intellectual purists. You were allowed to choose your work and receive equal pay.
Transcendentalists have strong beliefs in the power of the individual and divine messages. Many of our famous writers believed strongly in this idea. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, and Amos Bronson Alcott were major figures in this movement.

On this day in 2008, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois defeats Senator John McCain of Arizona to become the 44th U.S. president, and the first African American elected to the White House. The 47-year-old Democrat garnered 365 electoral votes and nearly 53 percent of the popular vote, while his 72-year-old Republican challenger captured 173 electoral votes and more than 45 percent of the popular vote. Obama's vice-presidential running mate was Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, while McCain's running mate was Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, the first female Republican ever nominated for the vice presidency.
Obama, who was born in 1961 in Hawaii to a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, graduated from Harvard Law School and was a law professor at the University of Chicago before launching his political career in 1996, when he was elected to the Illinois State Senate. He was re-elected to that post in 1998 and 2000. In March 2004, he shot to national prominence by winning the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Illinois, and that July he gained further exposure when he delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, which included his eloquent call for unity among "red" (Republican) and "blue" (Democratic) states. That November, Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate in a landslide.
On February 10, 2007, in Springfield, Illinois, Obama officially announced his candidacy for president. A victory in the Iowa caucuses in January 2008 made him a viable challenger to the early frontrunner, Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, whom he outlasted in a grueling primary campaign to claim the Democratic nomination in early June 2008.
During the general-election campaign, as in the primaries, Obama's team worked to build a following at the grassroots level and used what his supporters viewed as the candidate's natural charisma, unique life story and inspiring message of hope and change to draw large crowds to his public appearances, both in the United States and on a campaign trip abroad. His team also worked to bring new voters--many of them young or black, both demographics they believed favored Obama--to become involved in the election. Additionally, the campaign was notable for its unprecedented use of the Internet for organizing constituents and fundraising. According to The Washington Post: "3 million donors made a total of 6.5 million donations online adding up to more than $500 million. Of those 6.5 million donations, 6 million were in increments of $100 or less."
In terms of campaign issues, Obama pledged to get the United States out of the war in Iraq and expand health care, among other promises. A crushing national financial crisis in the months leading up to the election shifted the country's focus to the economy, and Obama and McCain each attempted to show he had the best plan for economic improvement.
On November 4, more than 69.4 million Americans cast their vote for Obama, while some 59.9 million voters chose McCain. (Obama was the first sitting U.S. senator to win the White House since John Kennedy in 1960.) Obama captured some traditional Republican strongholds (Virginia, Indiana) and key battleground states (Florida, Ohio) that had been won by Republicans in recent elections. Late that night, the president-elect appeared before a huge crowd of supporters in Chicago's Grant Park and delivered a speech in he which acknowledged the historic nature of his victory (which came 143 years after the end of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery): "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer… It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America."
Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009. On November 6, 2012, he defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney to win a second term in the White House.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Victoria in no small part due to the accomodations at the Victoria Regent. The location was great and we could walk anywhere in downtown Victoria. Our room was comfortable and we appreciated the large bathroom and the private balcony. The place was squeaky clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was good to have secure underground parking. The continental breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed eating by the harbor. We would definitely stay at the Victoria Regent again.
For my first visit to Victoria I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than the Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites. Excellent service, comfortable and spacious rooms with unbeatable views of the harbour and conveniently located in the heart of the city. When I return to Victoria I know where I'll be staying.
My family and I stayed at the Victoria Regent and had a terrific visit. The Victoria Regent is demonstrably superior to other hotels that I have stayed at in Victoria. It will now be our hotel of choice! The service was also exceptional - very friendly and accommodating.

Kamikaze 1s, Prelude 5s and Graffiti Lebrons
I don't agree with a lot on this list except #1. Those Gamma 11s are NOT that dope. The hype was crazy because it was an 11 and a new color way. The look isn't bad, but it wasn't anything to go crazy over. People still asking $320-$400 for them and some people actually buying, which is ridiculous. That's Space Jam prices. Not only that, this was a huge general release that will most likely restock at least 2 more times. The hype. is very real and resellers were having a field day when they first dropped and people ate it up.
Royal 1s >
there will be blood
@Michael Cameron the white gloves are the 5th. Those black gloves are the 12th. Confirmed by Nike.
is this a confirmed date? Nike's website says the 12th.
The China 7s were the cleanest IMO. The 7s in general is a beautiful shoe.
Shoe looks nice. Coppin but not this color for me. I want the Heat colorway.
pretty easy to get a GR Jordan for retail nowadays. Just gotta be quick and put a little effort. No need to pay over retail.
don't even announce the re-release and just drop them at a random time.
im fine with my '06 pair.
@OverTimeOften lol i remember that. He was on an episode of My Brother and Me too.
wow...those 6's take the cake.
easy pass. good luck to those who want them.
what is this fuckery?
i hope people sleep on these. but most likely not.
they fresh. the patches are dope, except the one on the left shoe. lol
@deewolfs_ yeah true. They lowered the price by $10 too. I saw these in person, it's a really nice shoe.
@deewolfs_ i'm pretty sure they are. I haven't heard anything different. I could be wrong tho.
nice shoe. bad price tag. $230 for a general release on an ok colorway? Go home Nike, you're drunk.
@ambeeelove why? They're not releasing in Phoenix. Unless you meant the Graduation will be in Phoenix.
copped a DS '06 pair for $180. Well worth it.
@420King I mean the AF1 is aight, it's just the midsole is too big for my liking. Makes them look like you're wearing boots. AM90 = Air Max 90 and AM1 = Air Max 1
they need to add this option to AM90s or AM1s. I hate the AF1 silhouette.
@swaggagirl you also sound dumb as fuck.
@swaggagirl @erxjo8 i think you misinterpreted what he was saying. I'm pretty sure he meant that there's gonna be a lot of hype. No one's hating.
not bad. wish the netting was blacked out tho.
@chipyouup they'll be $200.
@Rockaway Bully why would you camp out for tickets? You just walk in and get a ticket, or wait a few minutes in line to get one. Being first to get a ticket doesn't change any odds of you getting selected.
the original green looks better but i like how they changed the vector logos. not really liking the 'Kemp' where it is. I know it's what the OGs had, but it was originally on the lace loop.
@10oREo yeah pictures just don't do them justice. beautiful shoe. One of my favorite AJs of all time.
100% satisfied.
New Era fitteds forever.
@JDM_as_FK that's the kid's nickname.
damn these are clean.
Air Yeezy 2 "Watermelon" cw
THIS WHOLE SITE. HAHA >>>> http://wtfismikewearing.tumblr.com
Bred 4s and Penny 5 Orlando.
seen the Black / Orange cw at Foot Locker today. Nice shoe for sure, but $225 retail. They said the fireberry cw was pushed back a week.
can you tweet more than one picture?
i wonder if they're gonna drop same day as the Bred 4s..
@melmantwo3 very very light crease on the right toe box, but that's it.

Inside This Issue - News
CVS Caremark Corp. is at 7,000 and growing. The company, which has quintupled its store count in just over 12 years, still sees significant opportunity for expansion, CVS/pharmacy president Larry Merlo said at the opening of the chain's 7,000th store here last month in this St. Paul suburb.
Walgreen Co. made good on its long-standing promise to open its 7,000th store by 2010, unveiling the milestone unit in a ceremony here earlier this month.
The expected approval of the Senate Finance Committee's health care bill may have brought reform closer to the end of the beginning than the beginning of the end.
Groups representing community pharmacy have sued four states, saying that they are failing to provide Medicaid patients with access to the same care as everyone else.
Though community pharmacy groups praised Congress' decision last week to delay the accreditation deadline for pharmacies providing durable medical equipment (DME) under Medicare, they continue to seek an exemption for drug retailers.
Chain drug retailers may well escape the worst of what is expected to be a poor holiday sales season.
Looking to solidify itself as New Yorkers' drug chain of choice, Duane Reade Inc. has kicked off the second phase of a massive advertising campaign and launched an exclusive brand of food and beverages.
Drug store industry veteran George Riedl will leave Walgreen Co. at the end of the year. He currently serves as senior vice president of pharmacy innovation and purchasing for the retailer.
Robert Thompson has been promoted to executive vice president of pharmacy at Rite Aid Corp.
Duncan Mac Naughton has been named chief marketing officer at Wal-Mart Canada. The 47-year-old retail veteran had been executive vice president of merchandising and marketing at Supervalu Inc.

Mansion Miami: "Most Sincere Apologies to DJ Shadow and Fans for His Set Being Cut Short"
Photo by George Martinez |
That's how DJ Shadow said goodnight to clubbers at Mansion on South Beach after getting kicked off the decks last Saturday.
For the second time in 2012, the Opium Group-owned nightclub forced a well-respected DJ-producer to end his show because the music was making its bottle-service clientele uncomfortable.
But this time, Mansion is apologizing.
UPDATE DJ Shadow just released his "Infamous" Mansion set, asking: "Too hard? Too future? Or just too raw?"

Photo by George Martinez |
Last February, Dennis Ferrer was kicked off the decks -- just like DJ Shadow -- in the middle of his set. The reported reason: He was not playing "commercial enough."
But while Mansion expressed no regret over the Ferrer incident, the club's reps (in a statement emailed to Crossfade last night) are offering "sincere apologies" for the Shadow episode, promising to always "respect innovators such as DJ Shadow" in the future.

Qt Stylesheet mystery
My Desktop Qt app has a large stylesheet applied. It's applied for the QApplication derived class I am using:
- this->ApplyStyleSheet(":/qss/default.qss");
It works well for all QWidget objects I define and use. (using *.ui files).
My problem begins when i promote one of my QWidgets in the *.ui file I'm using to one of my own QWidget derived classes.
When my widget was QWidget, the following worked and changed the background image:
- QWidget#myWidget {
- background: transparent;
- background-image: url(:/images/bg_img.png);
- background-repeat: repeat-x;
- }
When I promoted the element to my custom QWidget derived class and changed to:
- QMyDerivedClass#myWidget {
- background: transparent;
- background-image: url(:/images/bg_img.png);
- background-repeat: repeat-x;
- }
I no longer see my background image. Obviously I am missing something. What is it… I hope one of you knows.
3 replies
It's a FAQ. Read the entry for QWidget in here: stylesheet-reference
If you subclass from QWidget, you need to provide a paintEvent for your custom QWidget as below:
{ QStyleOption opt; opt.init(this); }The above code is a no-operation if there is no stylesheet set.
Warning: Make sure you define the Q_OBJECT macro for your custom widget.

Polycomb (Pc) is part of a Pc group (PcG) protein complex that is involved in repression of gene activity during Drosophila and vertebrate development. To identify proteins that interact with vertebrate Pc homologs, we performed two-hybrid screens with Xenopus Pc (XPc) and human Pc 2 (HPC2). We find that the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) interacts with XPc and HPC2, that CtBP and HPC2 coimmunoprecipitate, and that CtBP and HPC2 partially colocalize in large PcG domains in interphase nuclei. CtBP is a protein with unknown function that binds to a conserved 6-amino-acid motif in the C terminus of the adenovirus E1A protein. Also, the Drosophila CtBP homolog interacts, through this conserved amino acid motif, with several segmentation proteins that act as repressors. Similarly, we find that CtBP binds with HPC2 and XPc through the conserved 6-amino-acid motif. Importantly, CtBP does not interact with another vertebrate Pc homolog, M33, which lacks this amino acid motif, indicating specificity among vertebrate Pc homologs. Finally, we show that CtBP is a transcriptional repressor. The results are discussed in terms of a model that brings together PcG-mediated repression and repression systems that require corepressors such as CtBP.

5 Get ready to jump!.....LOTS!!!Posted: 02/02/2013I saw this film at the cinema and am awaiting it's dvd release with anticiaption...why? Well, Sinister is one of the very few horrors lately that actually lived up to all the hype. The storyline draws you in from the beginning,a writer writing a new book about a house where sinister things have taken place. There are some gruesome parts, but Sinister doesn't go over the line with the gorey stuff it just shows enough to play on your mind. Troughout the film there are jumps galore, and although you think you know when they're coming, you don't!If you haven't seen this film hire it, buy it, borrow it from someone and i dare you to sit alone and watch it one night. Yes, it's that frightening! Move over Paranormal Activity, this is way more scarier.Bring on Sinister 2
5 A TOTAL MUST SEE! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICPosted: 26/02/2012I am now awaiting the 3rd season of this superb program. Very few series have people hooked but this is certainly one that i am totally hooked on. The premise of the story is about a woman who has cancer and has to come to terms with it and how she chooses to deal with it. Laura Linney is fantastic in the lead role Oliver Platt plays her husband Paul and Gabriel Basso is her son Adam. Look out for appearances in the 2nd season from Cynthia Nixon from Sex and The City and Gabourney Sidibe from the film Precious. This is a brilliant program which tackles cancer in a humerous yet heart-wrenching way in some episodes. You can laugh one minute then be sobbing your heart out the next. Just prepare yourselves with a fair few tissues whether you are laughing or crying.I am so looking forward to season 3 in April.
4 Gyllenhaal & Hathaway are a great pairingPosted: 04/03/2011I went to the cinema not expecting much from this film but came out loving it! It's definitely one of Gyllenhaal's better films recently after Brothers and Prince of Persia. I really enjoyed the comedy elements along with the emotional side of the film. It wasn't too tacky as i thought it may be. The intimate scenes were fun and made me laugh a couple of times, but the underlying story was pointed out at the right times in the film and at one point i actually felt really sorry for Anne Hathaways character. Funny, and poignant.
5 It's not me, It's her!Posted: 18/02/2009I've never really been a fan of all this cockney singing that seems to be dominating the charts at the moment, i mean what next, brummies, liverpudlian? (watch this space)Anyway, back to the Lily Allen cd.Every now and again 1 album comes along for me that has every single track on it that i love, and has absolutely no dud tracks. This is the album! I've never really listened to Lily Allen, only ever seeing her on tv and reading about her controversial life (which she freely explains and good on her)The album it'self is superb with a mix of pop, soft rock and 60's style songs. When you listen to the lyrics to some of the songs, particularly the stand-out track for me "f*** you" it has so much meaning and you think, yeah i can relate to that so much.If you're not a fan, like me then i urge you to borrow this from one of your friends that has bought it, because i tell you, after one or two listens you'll be humming half the tunes and you'll simply have to buy it. I did!Welcome back Lily as a sceptic im extremely impressed, you may have a new fan!!
5 Ugly Beauty!Posted: 30/09/2008This is a real gem of a book if you're a fan of the television program. Not only do you get meet all the characters and learn about them, but you can read about how Ugly Betty was born and how to dress like your favourite characters aswell as decorating your house the Suarez way. The pages are glossy and of great quality and you just dont want to crease it as you read it.If you're a true fan then this is an absolute must!
3 Intriguing,but very drawn outPosted: 29/09/2008Being a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal i was really looking forward to this as it was based on a true story. I was a little disappointed as there isn't really alot of action and it tends to play out as a documentary rather than a film. I went to see this at the cinema and when i came out i was numb from sitting down for almost 3 hours.It really is an interesting film to watch, but if you're looking for action, forget it, there isn't any.If, however you're interested in documentary/real life programs this may get you intrigued. My advice is watch this alone and not as a romantic night in with your loved one.
5 great debutPosted: 12/06/2008Having heard the track "cmon girls" a friend advised me to listen to this guy. It's about time the UK had a good r & b artist and Taio Cruz is certainly that. His voice is so pure and when you listen to him you cant help but close your eyes and slowly move your head to the beat. In comparison he sounds a little like Craig David and there's an element of The Lighthouse Family there too with a touch of R Kelly thrown in.What i love about this cd is the orcheatral element, with the violins accompanying the r&b style it really works well.I really cannot pick out a single dud track on this cd as they are all great tracks. I really hope this guy does well as he'd be a great import for British music.
3 Could've been better!Posted: 26/02/2008I have been a Janet fan for 22 years now and in my opinion she will never exceed the greatness of her Rhythm Nation album.Like alot of people with Discipline i was expecting something different and new. The last few albums have been disappointing to say the least with a few tracks standing out, and this is the same. 2Nite, Rock With You, So Much Betta & Feedack are the potential singles.The album starts off very promising with the 1st few tracks then slows down tremendously almost to the point where you are thinking, cmon Janet faster faster!When, she makes another album she needs to collaborate with new producers as they are obviously running out of ideas and originality, which is such a shame considering Feedback is such a good song.Unless you're a real true fan i'd hang on a few more singles until you make a decision to buy this.
5 ELATED, YOU WILL BE!!Posted: 20/12/2007Having seen the original i wasn't expecting alot from this film. Not being much of a Michelle Pfeiffer or John Travolta fan i didn't expect to be blown away.Boy, was i wrong. This film had me toe tapping and singing along, clapping and dancing, and that was in the cinema :o)I immediately bought the soundtrack after one watch of the film and kept on playing it repeatedly.If you're expecting it to be like the original, then forget it. This version is more of a musical than the original. I much prefer this one to the original it made me feel elated.Buy it or watch it with a friend who has it, then buy it!!!
Poltergeist: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition DVD 17 New from £4.38 Free delivery Available used from £2.98
5 And about time too!Posted: 18/10/2007Poltergeist was one of the first horror films i actually watched all the way through when i was younger. One scene always haunts me with Poltergeist and that's when Carol Anne goes missing and her mother ends up in the swimming pool (those who have seen this will understand what i mean)This is a true classic horror that had me both totally enthralled and scared to death as a young boy. Some memorable moments that still to this day i can recall as clear as day. Unfortunately as sometimes is with sequals they seemed to lack the horror aspect by the 3rd enstallment.This was never released on dvd here in the UK until now. I'm not sure why. All i know is that no more were made after the 3rd Poltergeist as a couple members of the cast died not long after making them. Strange!BUY this, its a horror that should be in everyone's collection....that's if you love horrors :o)

CHICAGO According to results from the most recent McGladrey Manufacturing and Distribution Monitor, manufacturers and distributors, particularly those in the durable goods sector, suffered from a number of challenges leading into the fall, including rising energy and raw materials costs and falling business and consumer sentiment. Still, more than 43 percent of fall Monitor participants say their businesses are thriving and growing, the tax and consulting firm says. Questions in the fall Monitor focused on the motivations and challenges related to exporting. Responses revealed that 71 percent are exporting to countries outside of the United States, and these export sales make up approximately 16 percent of total company revenue. Fall Monitor results showed a 52 percent increase over summer Monitor results in the number of respondents who identified federal government gridlock as a high risk factor for their companies (23 percent in the summer and 35 percent in the fall). Uncertainty over what, if anything, will come out of Congress's super committee in November likely contributed to this increase, according to McGladrey. There was a 48 percent increase in the number of respondents who cited the global economy as a high risk factor in the summer (23 percent) and those who cited it in the fall (34 percent). Conversely, the percentage of respondents who cited higher commodities prices as high risk fell 33 percent, from 48 percent in the summer to 32 percent in the fall. "Since 95 percent of the world's population resides outside of the United States, a close look at exporting was a relevant area of focus for the fall Monitor," said Karen Kurek, national manufacturing leader for RSM McGladrey. "The majority (52 percent) of the 511 respondents reported increases in exporting activities within the past year." Additional findings show that: * The most common reason for exporting is customer and/or key client demand. * There is a rising level of interest in exporting to various locations, notably Brazil and Central and South America. Brazil, in particular, appears to be the country in which middle market manufacturers see the greatest growth potential. * A company's first foray into an offshore market tends to focus heavily on transactional issues, while subsequent moves into additional foreign markets focus more on strategic issues such as foreign competition and market acceptability. "Since Free Trade Agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea were signed in late October after the fall Monitor response window was closed it will be worth watching to see if exporting plans for the industry are directed toward these countries moving forward, particularly for South Korea, where distance and the difficulty of penetrating the market appears to have kept plans for exporting low," said Kurek. "Growth appears to be slowing for China, where the market is getting increasingly sophisticated and, as a result, harder to penetrate." The trend toward exporting is echoed by findings from recent research done by RSM International, one of the world's largest global audit, tax and consulting networks of which McGladrey is the U.S. member, and the European Business Awards. It shows that European business leaders are also pursuing growth opportunities abroad, with more than two-thirds of them planning to enter new markets in the next year, despite the difficult post-recession climate. An item of note from the fall survey results is that the automotive sector continues to gain strength.
"Despite the fact that the automotive sector is continuing to expect increases in their raw materials, that sector has led the way in regard to thriving and growing. More than 80 percent of automotive respondents anticipate an increase in domestic sales over the next 12 months," said Kurek. Monitor respondents receive access to customized, interactive dashboards they can use in multiple ways to compare their responses against the national aggregate. Those who participate will be able to track changes to their companies' responses over time and will receive regular reports that delve into the findings. Results from the 2011 fall Monitor are online, along with the 2011 spring edition and summer edition results. Results include detailed breakdowns of industry segments, including automotive; food and beverage; chemicals, oil and plastics; industrial machinery, biotech and medical; metal fabrication, and more. The next Monitor will launch in January 2012. Results will be available in February 2012.

When young people experience bullying behaviour online, it can be difficult to spot. To help your child, you can learn about cyberbullying – what it is, when to step in, and what to do about it.
Cyberbullying (or online bullying) is using modern communication technology to deliberately and repeatedly harrass, humiliate, embarrass, torment, threaten, pick on or intimidate someone.
Cyberbullying happens in lots of different ways – by mobile phone, text messages, email, or through social networking sites such as Facebook. Examples of cyberbullying include sending anonymous threatening emails, spreading rumours on the school e-bulletin board to break up friendships, or setting up an unkind or unpleasant fake social networking account using real photos and contact details.
Effects of cyberbullyingCyberbullying can leave teenagers with low self-esteem, less interest in school and a deep sense of loneliness. Some feel they have no safe place, because the bullying can happen anywhere there's internet or mobile access. It can also happen at any time of the day or night.
You can help make cyberbullying less likely to happen to your child by:
Cyberbullying can be tough to spot. Many young people who are being bullied don't want to tell teachers or parents, perhaps because they feel ashamed or they worry about losing their computer privileges at home.
As a parent, you might find it hard to keep up with the different technologies your child uses. Or you might not know how to bring up the subject of cyberbullying.
Some warning signs that your child might be the victim of cyberbullying include:
If teenagers are being bullied online, it's great for them to feel they have some power to resolve the problem on their own. These six steps are a good way for your child to G.E.T. R.I.D. of the bully:
Your child won't always be able to solve cyberbullying problems independently. It's always worth stepping in if you're concerned about her, as you'll be able to help practically and emotionally.
Loving support is vital . Also:
Cyberbullying is different from other kinds of bullying, for both the person engaging in bullying and the victim.
People using bullying behaviour will often act more boldly online than if they were facing their victim in person. Sending taunts remotely and anonymously makes the person doing the bullying feel safer. The victim's physical or emotional response, which might change or soften the bullying behaviour, can't be seen.
For the person being bullied, cyberbullying is tough to deal with. Because teenagers use mobiles and the internet so often, bullying can happen at any time, not just when they're at school. The victim might not know who's doing the bullying or when the bully will strike next. This can make teenagers feel persecuted and unsafe, even at home.
Bullying messages posted online are very hard to get rid of. These messages can be forwarded instantly and seen by many people, instead of just a few kids in the schoolyard.
In this short video, parents and teenagers describe their experiences of bullying and its impacts. Teenagers discuss types of bullying, including cyberbullying. Several of the teenagers say that a lot of bullying is happening on the internet and via mobile phone. Parents talk about what they do in their families to help their children handle any bullying experiences.
