Short Cuts
What do dreams have to with prayer? Aren't they just random images of our mind?
In 1867 Pope Pius IX was upset with John Bosco because he wouldn't take his dreams seriously enough. Nine years earlier when Pope Pius IX met with the future saint who worked with neglected boys, he learned of the dreams that John had been having since the age of nine, dreams that had revealed God's will for John's life. So Pius IX had made a request, "Write down these dreams and everything else you have told me, minutely and in their natural sense." Pius IX saw John's dreams as a legacy for those John worked with and as an inspiration for those he ministered to.
Despite Scripture evidence and Church tradition respecting dreams, John had encountered skepticism when he had his first dream at the age of nine. The young Bosco dreamed that he was in a field with a crowd of children. The children started cursing and misbehaving. John jumped into the crowd to try to stop them -- by fighting and shouting. Suddenly a man with a face filled with light appeared dressed in a white flowing mantle. The man called John over and made him leader of the boys. John was stunned at being put in charge of these unruly gang. The man said, "You will have to win these friends of yours not with blows but with gentleness and kindness." As adults, most of us would be reluctant to take on such a mission -- and nine year old John was even less pleased. "I'm just a boy," he argued, "how can you order me to do something that looks impossible." The man answered, "What seems so impossible you must achieve by being obedient and acquiring knowledge." Thenthe boys turned into the wild animals they had been acting like. The man told John that this is the field of John's life work. Once John changed and grew in humility, faithfulness, and strength, he would see a change in the children -- a change that the man now demonstrated. The wild animals suddenly turned into gentle lambs.
When John told his family about his dream, his brothers just laughed at him. Everyone had a different interpretation of what it meant: he would become a shepherd, a priest, a gang leader. His own grandmother echoed the sage advice we have heard through the years, "You mustn't pay any attention to dreams." John said, "I felt the same way about it, yet I could never get that dream out of my head."
Eventually that first dream led him to minister to poor and neglected boys, to use the love and guidance that seemed so impossible at age nine to lead them to faithful and fulfilled lives. He started out by learning how to juggle and do tricks to catch the attention of the children. Once he had their attention he would teach them and take them to Mass. It wasn't always easy -- few people wanted a crowd of loud, bedraggled boys hanging around. And he had so little money and help that people thought he was crazy. Priests who promised to help would get frustrated and leave.
Two "friends" even tried to commit him to an institution for the mentally ill. They brought a carriage and were planning to trick him into coming with him. But instead of getting in, John said, "After you" and politely let them go ahead. When his friends were in the carriage he slammed the door and told the drive to take off as fast as he could go!
Through it all he found encouragement and support through his dreams. In one dream, Mary led him into a beautiful garden. There were roses everywhere, crowding the ground with their blooms and the air with their scent. He was told to take off his shoes and walk along a path through a rose arbor. Before he had walked more than a few steps, his naked feet were cut and bleeding from the thorns. When he said he would have to wear shoes or turn back, Mary told him to put on sturdy shoes. As he stepped forward a second time, he was followed by helpers. But the walls of the arbor closed on him, the roof sank lower and the roses crept onto the path. Thorns caught at him from all around. When he pushed them aside he only got more cuts, until he was tangled in thorns. Yet those who watched said, "How lucky Don John is! His path is forever strewn with roses! He hasn't a worry in the world. No troubles at all!" Many of the helpers, who had been expecting an easy journey, turned back, but some stayed with him. Finally he climbed through the roses and thorns to find another incredible garden. A cool breeze soothed his torn skin and healed his wounds.
In his interpretation, the path was his mission, the roses were his charity to the boys, and the thorns were the distractions, the obstacles, and frustrations that would stand in his way. The message of the dream was clear to John: he must keep going, not lose faith in God or his mission, and he would come through to the place he belonged.
Often John acted on his dreams simply by sharing them, sometimes repeating them to several different individuals or groups he thought would be affected by the dream. "Let me tell you about a dream that has absorbed my mind," he would say.
The groups he most often shared with were the boys he helped -- because so many of the dreams involved them. For example, he used several dreams to remind the boys to keep to a good and moral life. In one dream he saw the boys eating bread of four kinds -- tasty rolls, ordinary bread, coarse bread, and moldy bread, which represented the state of the boys' souls. He said he would be glad to talk to any boys who wanted to know which bread they were eating and then proceeded to use the occasion to give them moral guidance.
He died in 1888, at the age of seventy-two. His work lives on in the Salesian order he founded.
In His Footsteps:
John Bosco found God's message in his dreams. If you have some question or problem in your life, ask God to send you an answer or help in a dream. Then write down your dreams. Ask God to help you remember and interpret the dreams that come from God.
Saint John Bosco, you reached out to children whom no one cared for despite ridicule and insults. Help us to care less about the laughter of the world and care more about the joy of the Lord. Amen

AFRICA/NIGER - Fear of further outbreaks of cholera in refugee camps
Niamey (Agenzia Fides) - In Niger, a cholera epidemic has affected 248 people in Ayorou, in the northwestern region of Tillabéry. According to the health offices of Tillabéry and the United Nations Agency for Refugees (UNHCR), six deaths have been recorded so far, two of them are refugees from Mali. Among the 31 infected are refugees living in camps in Tabareybarey and Mangaize, bordering Mali. To try to contain the phenomenon, the UNHCR has increased the distribution of drinking water, oral rehydration solutions, soap and disinfectant tablets in refugee camps and surrounding villages, but many drugs are urgently needed. The fear is that cholera can spread rapidly due to the high concentration of refugees in the region. Most of the cases concern the inhabitants of the city of Ayorou, which on Sunday hosts a cattle market frequented by people from all over the region. The Ministry of Health is trying to temporarily close this market, which is right next to the River Niger, suspected source of contamination. It is also prohibited to use, or drink river water, although it is very difficult to keep the situation under control. According to data released by the UNHCR, 5,785 people were infected in the country last year, 110 of whom died. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 23/05/2013)

When nothing ever works out
Started by treetree , Feb 27 2013 11:49 PM

Posted 27 February 2013 - 11:49 PM
It seems like every time I try to make a positive change in my life it doesn't work out, and I am left thinking 'Why did I bother?'
I've been preparing to start a sport and was feeling pretty positive about it. It would be the first time I've ever really done such a thing. I was ready to start next week. Now tonight both my knees have just swelled right up, and from looking it up (obviously I'll see a doc. tomorrow) it looks like the most common treatment is to rest the area. Well knees are kind of pivotal (though not literally or it wouldn't be such an issue!) to the sport, obviously. This is so depressing.
And it just tacks on the end of a long list of crap endings to good ideas lately. Healthier eating? Allergies I never knew I had arise. Study? Turns out it's either sleep or study, not both. Fix the back yard? Everyone else gives up halfway - looks worse than when we started. Organise extra activities for the kids because finances are stable? Extra income falls through.
I feel like giving up. Each time I pull myself back up, but I'm starting to feel like an idiot for listening to myself.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 01:25 AM
sounds like youve had a rough trot. Hope things improve OP
Posted 28 February 2013 - 02:28 AM
I have had a few things like that lately. Hoping things look up for you soon.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 04:15 AM
oh i know how you feel
I feel the same way but unfortunately it isn't sport related more baby related
Posted 28 February 2013 - 05:52 AM
How unbelievably frustrating OP. I know exactly the feeling, and it SUCKS.
Seems bizarre that your knees would just swell up out of nowhere - did you do something that could possibly have caused that? Hope the doc visit is helpful. Maybe you will just need to rest them for a week and can still start your sport stuff the following week?
Hope this little black cloud of bad luck lifts soon. Don't give up!!

I know how you feel. Mine is financial. Every time I make positive changes to start saving for a goal something happens and sets us back. I managed to save uo $300 and then DS destroyed my phone so had to replace it, even though it had insurance. I am returning to work extra days soon to try and get ahead, but then because DH got made redundant last year and now is working a really sh*tty casual job, his sh*tty pay fluctuates so I doubt the extra days will mean that there is much extra money to save. But I'm determined to keep trying! Sometimes it feels like we're never getting anywhe financially.
I'm Sorry about your knee. it really does suck but don't give up!
Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:27 AM
Feeling your frustration OP. DH wanted to move somewhere so we wouldn't have to do FIFO anymore and could both earn good money and get rid of our crippling debt. I can't get a job and I'm miserable. Worst of all, my depression and anxiety has hit an all time high. Worse than when DH was FIFO.
Sometimes life just sucks.
I hope your knees settle soon and you get some good luck your way really soon
Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:39 AM
I am so sorry that you are so often thwarted - I had similar things happen financially last year, with the final twist being quite destroying.
It has forced me to rethink my whole approach to life - there are good days and bad days - but I now view any steps forwards as a bonus and to enjoy the what I have right now as a priority.

Behind the record political ad dollars
Ohio, Florida and Virginia got the biggest share
November 6, 2012
On election night all eyes will be on Ohio to see which candidate won the battleground state. Both candidates and their super PACs have heavily targeted the state, along with Florida and Virginia, over the final weeks of the campaign, pouring absurd amounts of money into local television. That's contributed to an estimated $2.6 billion in political dollars that will be spent on the medium this year, according to a new report from SNL Kagan, up 68 percent over the 2008 presidential election. It's also up 24 percent over the record tally of $2.09 billion in 2010. While analysts have been forecasting a record year since the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling two years ago, which essentially lifted a ban on political spending by corporations, the sheer volume of advertising has been overwhelming. Voters may be extra fatigued because political ads began earlier than usual. With the big surge in ratings for the Olympics, candidates and super PACs scrambled to get their ads on during the August event, leading into a very tight fourth quarter, where 60 percent of all political money was spent. Peter Leitzinger, analyst at SNL Kagan, talks to Media Life about the impact of Citizens United, how 2012 fared compared to his earlier expectations, and what political ads have done for radio.
How does political ad spending this year line up with your early estimates?
We knew political was going to be higher than the 2008 election. In our original 10-year projection we estimated this year to be $2.5 billion in local TV revenue, and by 2018 that number would grow to $3 billion.
The original $2.5 billion projection represented a 21 percent increase over the $2.09 billion in 2010 and 63 percent over the $1.55 billion in 2008.
We had to revise those numbers because of the massive Olympic spend, early caucuses/primaries, and the importance the PACs and super PACs were placing on television. Our new estimate stands at $2.6 billion in political revenue.
How much of the gains do you credit to the Citizens United ruling?
The Citizens United ruling was a huge part of the increase in political spending, but this year seemed to be the perfect storm for political advertising that started with the Olympics and ramped up all the way through election day.
We saw political spending on local TV start earlier than the last few years in part due to the Olympics being a perfect advertising platform for the candidates and the early caucuses and primaries held in January.
We also saw a record amount of political contributions for both parties. A larger amount of political ad dollars was spent on the Congressional elections as well, because of the competition between parties to control Congress was at stake.
Which swing states have seen the most spending and why?
Ohio, Florida and Virginia. They are crucial battleground states with a large amount of electoral votes. They are also very close in the polls, making them advertising magnets for the candidates. Since 1964 no winning president has won the presidency without taking Ohio.
Why does so much of the spending come in the final weeks?
In each of the last three election years the second half of the year has produced 80 percent of political revenues for local TV and radio, with 60 percent of the total political coming during the fourth quarter.
This has to do with political strategy in the modern era. The candidates have better information on which states are swinging in a party's direction. The candidates and their campaigns hold onto contribution reserves so they can effectively target the markets that matter the most before election day. Then we see a flood of political advertising hit those areas.
How much of a boost has the election given local television this year? Will the stronger spending last once the election is over?
Each party's campaign reserves are unleashed in the two to three weeks before the election. It is the last surge of money in hopes of swaying any voters in one direction and targeting the swing states for the much needed electoral votes. Much of that money doesn't come into TV stations until after the election, which is reported by broadcasters in the fourth quarter.
There will be some spending on issue-related political ads, but I haven't been following post-election political in previous years so it is hard for me to comment on post-election (first quarter 2013) political ad dollars.
What kind of boost has radio gotten from the election?
Radio gets a surge right before the election, as this is the crucial time when voters are really thinking about their votes and are actually in transit to the voting polls. It is the most influential period.
Why does television remain such a popular medium for candidates in an increasingly digital age?
Television will always be king for the political candidates because it can effectively communicate a message to a market/demographic that no other medium can. Using sound, picture and message candidates can influence voters in a way that radio and internet cannot.

[May 28] German solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity – equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity – through the midday hours of Friday and Saturday.
Norbert Allnoch, director of the Institute of the Renewable Energy Industry in Muenster, said the 22 gigawatts of solar power fed into the national grid on Saturday met nearly 50% of the Germany's midday electricity needs.
Coca-Cola, Ford Motor, Heinz, Nike, and Procter & Gamble have now confirmed that they will work together on a new Plant Polyethylene Terephthalate Technology Collaborative, PTC, in order to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable plant-based plastics.
Los Angeles became the largest city in the USA Wednesday to approve a ban on plastic bags at supermarket checkout lines, handing a major victory to clean-water advocates who sought to reduce the amount of trash clogging landfills, the region's waterways and the ocean.
In March of 2002, Republic of Ireland became the first country to introduce a plastic bag fee, or PlasTax. Designed to rein in their rampant consumption of 1.2 billion plastic shopping bags per year, the tax resulted in a 90% drop in consumption, and approximately 1 billion fewer bags were consumed annually. To complete the win-win scenario, approximately $9.6 million was raised from the tax in the first year, which is earmarked for a green fund established to benefit the environment. Several other countries and cities around the world are now considering implementing a similar tax, including UK, Australia and New York City.
Sitting outside the Barley Mow on Tilford village cricket ground, a group of early evening drinkers swing their gaze from left to right, as earnestly as fans of Andy Murray on Centre Court.
Indeed, what they're watching has just flashed past with the quiet fizz of a tennis ball.
But this isn't Wimbledon.

What kind of bush is this?
Just wondering what kind of bush this is? We've only lived here a year so it was planted by the other owners.
It's a hardy bush and has stayed this color since fall! I just took this picture the other day.
I believe it was just green in the summer but embarrassingly enough I can't remember. I just remember truly noticing it this past fall.
Man you all are fast! Thank you so much! I think I'll have to add a few more of these. I thought only evergreens stayed green all year. These little bushes have been so pretty all through winter.
Thank you again! :)
By evergreens you doubtless mean evergreen conifers, there are also evergreen broad-leaved trees and shrubs.
Such as Nandina domestica. Some other familiar examples you will probably see in Virginia are Quercus virginiana and Magnolia grandiflora.
I guess I did mean conifers. I forgot that there are types of evergreens. So I take it that Nandina would be evergreen? It's a really pretty bush. I need to add some more to our yard. This time of year I crave green so much that any green, conifer or otherwise will do!
We've spent a lot of time this past year updating the inside of the house. It was a total fixer upper in and out.
This year I'm ready to tackle the outside. I can't wait. I much prefer gardening to inside remodeling.
bboy that is a good idea. I'm going to see what evergreens grow well here in Central VA when choosing my landscaping. We did plant a foster holly by the house last year that is gorgeous and we planted two Norwegian pines that are doing very well. But this year we'll really get to work. These little Nandina bushes will definitely be on my evergreen list.
Thanks again!

I better not kiss the headphone as its real wood..it could damage the protection..and even worse..the amp is stainless steel..and we all know if u kiss that it gives stains on the surface..so better only look at it and listen to it
Just heard the powersupply case will also have a illluminated blue circle in front...for esthetics sake..so it paires well with the front of the amp..as they will be placed side by side.
Now i think of it..need to make room for those two cases..AND the PLC thingee FX2 conditioner. Will be crowdy on my desk next to my lappie.
Did I hear that correctly, "It's time for a new desk."

Christmas shoppers drawn to 'theatre' of high street, claims report
By Nicola Clark, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 22 December 2011 10:30AM
Despite the continued rise of ecommerce, a large number of British consumers are braving the traffic, crowds and cold to shop on the high street.
The British Retail Consortium has revealed that numbers for the week beginning December 12 were up 2.5% year-on-year across all locations. Both high street and shopping centre Christmas shoppers were up by 2.6% each, while out-of-town stores experienced a 0.3% increase.
Research from shopper marketing agency Live and Breathe suggests that lavish Christmas windows are putting the theatre back into the retail experience.
The report praised Selfridges for integrating on and offline activity, stating: "The website carries the same icy look and feel. While the seasonal promotions were in evidence in both spaces, the initiatives were different."
However, not all retailers hit the right note with their windows. Harrods, famed for its lavish store windows, was criticised in the report, which said: "It's a shame that one of the wintery sets ends up looking like a stack of sun beds, one of top of each other, with a semi-clothed model topping up her tan."
Christmas shopping in numbers
- MasterCard research found that Christmas shopping on the high street costs an average of £84 more than purchasing online. This takes into account the added temptation of impulse purchasing and costs such as parking and petrol.
- According to Mintel, 73% of consumers prefer to visit shops and handle items before purchasing.
- UK consumers are set to spend £186.4m online on Christmas day this year, 12% more than last year, according to predictions from retail body IMRG.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dwight Howard is set to make his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers in a preseason game against Sacramento on Sunday night.
Lakers: Dwight Howard set for preseason debut
Coach Mike Brown says Howard is in the Lakers' starting lineup with no restrictions on his playing time. Howard finally will hit the Staples Center court in his gold No. 12 jersey just more than six months after the six-time All-Star center had surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back.
Howard didn't play in the first five preseason games for the Lakers (0-5), who acquired him from Orlando in August through a four-team trade that sent All-Star center Andrew Bynum to Philadelphia. The Lakers have been cautious, but Howard was in full practices with his new teammates during almost every session of training camp.
"I thought he could have played ... from the beginning of training camp, because he's been participating in everything for a while," Brown said. "But it's not completely my call on injury issues. ... He looks good in practice. You'd think he'll look good out on the floor."
Howard had refused to commit to any timetable for his return since his first day with the Lakers, saying he wanted to make sure he was fully conditioned for the grind of an NBA season before stepping back on the court. The talkative center also refused to speculate on the percentage of his recovery from surgery, even while his teammates could see no limitations in his practice work.
Last week, Howard acknowledged he might feel some nerves when he finally joined Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash on the Lakers' home court with the jerseys of Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hanging in the rafters.

Reed closes it out the 'White Sox way'
Just call it the White Sox way.
That's what Jake Peavy is calling it, the team's tendency to make things real interesting late in games. It happened again Friday night, when closer Addison Reed allowed a run in the ninth to make a 5-3 game a lot more uncomfortable at 5-4.
The Sox won for the third straight game and Reed picked up his third straight save -- his eighth of the season -- but this one wasn't without certain theatrics.
Reed entered the game with the Sox up 5-3. After Kelly Johnson struck out looking, Jose Molina lined a double off the top of the wall in centerfield, missing the glove of Jordan Danks, who crashed into the wall. At least, it sure looked like a double. Molina stood at second base while Rays manager Joe Maddon had a conversation with the umpiring crew, which eventually decided to utilize video review to see the play more closely. After the review, the umpires maintained it was a double, but it wasn't without somewhat of a delay.
"I definitely don't think it went out," Reed said of the hit. "I have no question that it [didn't go] out. Danks made a heck of an effort out of it, and it's unfortunate he didn't come up with it. But that's on me. If he wouldn't have hit it, he would've never been put in that situation."
Reed got Sam Fuld to pop out after the review, but Matt Joyce singled on the next at-bat to drive in Molina and narrow the lead to 5-4. Reed then walked Ryan Roberts to put two on with two outs before ending the game with a strikeout of Ben Zobrist.
The outing marked only the second time all season Reed has allowed a run, the last coming April 16 in a 4-3 win against the Blue Jays. The walk of Roberts was just the fourth of the year for Reed and the first he's issued since April 14 against the Indians.
The guesses of why Reed was a little shaky ranged from three straight days of work to the review delay to something completely different. But Reed dismissed all of it.
"I definitely didn't lose any focus, that's for sure," Reed said of the review delay. "Physically, my arm, nothing felt different once play resumed. I don't think that affected me at all. Just a couple bad pitches, I left a couple bad pitches over the plate, and that's where I kind of got hurt."
And what about his back-to-back-to-back save opportunities?
"I want to be out there every day," Reed said. "In the same opportunity tomorrow, I'm going to be ready to go. Honestly, physically I felt the same as I did my last two outings, so nothing felt any different, no soreness. Everything felt good, and I'll be ready to go tomorrow."
Manager Robin Ventura agreed and added that the workload is simply just the life of a closer.
[MORE: Unlikely trio of hitters lift White Sox to victory]
"That's his job, and it's pass and fail," Ventura said. "Tonight it's pass and he looks good. The more he pitches, the better he is. We like that he gets to come in and pitch. There might be times you might somebody else in that role if he's had a lot in a row. But it's his job to do."
Ninth-inning dramatics? According to Peavy, that's just the White Sox way.
"It's never easy. That's the White Sox way right there," Peavy said. "How many laughers have you seen, where it's 'yeah, we've got this one in the bag.' We'd like to say those build character, but it wouldn't be nice. So hopefully we'll come out tomorrow and beat somebody 10-0."

Baga had two main roads , one which was full of the hotels and then the second which led straight to the beach. Baga was fairly busy we loads of shops and cafes. It even had a couple of clubs right next to the beach so we were well in. The hotel was ideally located with a ...

Everything was great.
Very spacious room and a nice welcome with a bottle of champagne (we were travelling on our honeymoon). We enjoyed the view on a small romantic channel with gondolas passing by (there are some rooms with windows overlooking the Grand Canal).

We booked Albergo Bonvecchiati but were transferred to the sister Hotel 1 min away Palazzo Bonvecchiati. This Hotel is a 4 star but was a 5 star by our standards. The staff were the best we've ever met, the hotel is brand new and modern, so beautiful and very well located. Albergo Bonvecchiati is more antique looking and seems very nice as well but we didn't get a chance to see it. Very pleased! - Anonymous
Wonderful staff-- upon arriving to Venice our airline lost our baggage. The staff here were so helpful in calling and checking on our luggage status at the airport.

EU Regulators Give Google Four Months to Amend Privacy Policy
PARIS – European data regulators on Tuesday said that Google's current privacy policy breaches European Union rules and gave the online giant four months to comply with its guidelines.
Speaking on behalf of their European counterparts, representatives of the French National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties (CNIL) unveiled the findings of a probe into the web giant at a press conference here.
PHOTOS: THR & Google's Pre-White House Correspondents Party in DC: Red Carpet Interviews
Users should be given an opportunity to opt out of data gathering by the company, they demanded. They also urged Google to revert to a setup closer to its previous privacy rules.
Google had in March introduced a new set of privacy policies, rebuffing requests by European data protection authorities to postpone the change until a review.
The authorities, led by CNIL, had raised two major concerns. First, they argued that the policy may be too vague for average users to grasp. Second, they said the collection of personal data across services may be unlawful and unfair. Nonetheless, Google went ahead and rolled out its new privacy guidelines.
Tuesday's update in Paris gave Google time to modify its approach.
Speaking on behalf of nation privacy regulators, CNIL outlined 12 recommendations for Google to make its privacy policy comply with EU rules.
CNIL told the search engine to limit the combination of data it gathers to better target ads, expand information it provides about its privacy policy and allow users to have more control over their personal data. Among other things, it urged Google to tell consumers how personal data will be used and disclosing how long it retains data.
STORY: Google, U.S. Publishers Settle Lawsuit Over Book-Scanning
Other European data protection agencies may decide to pursue their own national cases against Google, follow the French lead or take a different approach.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, the president of CNIL, described personal and usage data as the main resources of the digital economy. As Internet corporations compete for personal data, she said, Europe appears as a goldmine given the advanced levels of Internet usage in many countries.

Stone Veneer or Real Stone for elevation upgrade
Other than real stone costing much more in price, are there any real benefits to have the real thing ?
What maintenance is involved down the road ?
We used real stone veneer....it's real stone that is sawed to be thin like man made stone. It's easier to install, but looks great...just like real stone as it is!
The real thing (including Annie's version) looks real. The colored concrete only looks ok on TV but not in reality (opinion).
Also, stone has a proven history, who knows how the pigments in the faux stones wear after decades of UV exposure.
Real stone veneer is probably the best of both.
See if you can go to a stone yard. Most have samples of both. Once we got there, we discovered that up close, the manufacture stone was more one dimensional. Real stone has life in it. It stood to reason...we don't like fake leather or wood-look floors either.
I recently saw some artificial stone pillars. It looked like a car bumped into one edge of it. Underneath, it just looked like concrete and pieces of stone.
Ditto on the pricing.

It's A Very Facebook Christmas

Retailers are using social media this holiday season to get your attention with deeper discounts than ever!
I'll admit all these little games are fun. I'm addicted to one right now that is kind of getting between me and my finals. My finals are getting a bit jealous, I'm sure that'll come around and bite me in the butt sooner rather than later.
What would it sound like if a dramatic actor read your Facebook posts? Perhaps it would sound like this.
What do you think? Is the social media craze having a negative affect on our kids?
A Gallup Poll says people don't like the new Facebook upgrades
Kids are often told by their parents to "watch what they put on the internet."
Well, this time the parent made an "oops!"
I got to work Monday morning and there were 294 emails in my inbox. I know I'm not THAT popular so something was up. In this particular case, my dear friend Ed Roy had started a "group" on Facebook called Acadiana Broadcast Legends. Now, when you start a group on Facebook, you apparently get to choose who is in the group. I was very honored to have been among the "charter members." The only thing is that when you become part of the group, you automatically get an email EVERY TIME SOMEONE POSTS TO THE PAGE. And broadcasters have A LOT to say.

Are you sure your veterinary clients can hear you?
My first step was completing a questionnaire on my nutritional needs and goals. The follow-up with Dr. Fred showed me that he'd done a thorough job evaluating the questionnaire and knew plenty about nutrition. But I walked out of his office without taking any action.
Why? Because like many health practitioners, Dr. Fred has never learned how to communicate with his clients in a way that invites compliance. I recognized this problem because I spent several years in my own veterinary practice being at least as ineffective as Dr. Fred.When it came to straight talk that prompted action and compliance, instead of being a strong communicator, I was a 97-pound weakling. Like Dr. Fred, I knew my stuff. I could conduct a thorough history and physical examination, and I was a competent diagnostician, but when it came to making recommendations that would serve both my patients and clients, I often fell flat. It sounded something like this:
"Well, Ms. Kapp, I've noticed a few things on Tobie's physical exam that you might want to know about, like his teeth."
"What about his teeth?"
"Well, uh, they could stand to be cleaned."
"Really? Is that where that awful smell is coming from?"
"Yes, it could be. So, sometime you might want to, you know, drop him by so we can take care of them."
"Sure thing, doctor."
Of course, Ms. Kapp—being as busy as everyone else—never did get around to dropping Tobie off.
Luckily, when I finally hired a business coach, we worked extensively on my communication skills. Learning to be a more effective communicator was a major factor in the 40 percent growth we experienced in that first year after I started working with the coach. It took work, but over time I went from a 97-pound weakling to a powerful heavyweight communicator. So can you. Ready to get to work?
Let's start with the foundation of relationship-building.

3 Theories About The Purpose Of The Female Orgasm/
The male orgasm plays a pretty prominent role in human reproduction, given that it typically coincides with ejaculation. Indeed, a man who cannot reach orgasm is likely to have a very difficult time ever reproducing. In contrast, it is not possible to argue the same thing for the female orgasm--a woman can become pregnant regardless of whether she can reach orgasm at all, let alone during sex. This observation has generated a lot of research and debate about the purpose of the female orgasm. If it is not essential for reproduction, then what purpose (if any) does it serve? To date, scientists have proposed at least three possible explanations:Read More

Man I cant believe they exposed Simpson instead of Hulse. Even if you think Hulse is marginally better.. exposing him creates FAR less of a stir since teams would feel they already passed on Hulse in free agency. I just cant imagine 29 teams will pass on Simpson.. no way. Really surprised they think they could manage without his veteran experience... honestly my first thought was that they are going for Ovechkin after all.
As for Boucher.. almost as surprised. Im not 100% sure he'll be selected but losing those two is a total waste of good assets like ducky said.
The Yotes can retain the rights to Hulse for the length of the contract while they could potentially lose Simpson at the end of this season. Why not risk losing Simpson and if you do lose him, you can sign him after this season.
Some people have called this poor asset management, I would say its is good asset management if Simpson isn't claimed and debatable if he is claimed.
