English, baby! is a social network and online curriculum for learning conversational English and slang[1] based in Portland, Oregon.[2] The service is used by more than 1.6 million members, making it one of the largest, most well-established and highest rated[3] online communities of English learners and teachers. English, baby! is most popular in China,[4] where roughly a quarter of its users are based. Other countries in which the service is popular include Turkey, Brazil, India, Egypt, the United States, and Taiwan.[5] [6]
The company offers a free membership as well as a paid, premium membership and frequently uses celebrities in its English lesson videos.[7]
English, baby! is home to several thousand English lessons.[8] Many of the lessons feature celebrities teaching a term or phrase and discussing how they learned English if it is not their first language. Celebrities who have taught English lessons on English, baby! include NBA All-Stars such as Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, Olympic gold medalist figure skaters Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Girl Talk.[6]
The website also produces an English lesson soap opera series and reality TV style videos.[9] Other lessons are based on MP3s instead of videos and based on improvised conversations between native English speaking actors. Most lessons include grammar instruction, quizzes, and vocabulary words. Much of the lesson content is only available to premium "Super Members" who pay $5 per month. These members also have access to a live teacher to answer questions for them.
In addition to students, ESL teachers can create lessons on English, baby! or use content from the site in their classrooms.[8]
English, baby! was founded in 2000 when John Hayden returned from working for Hitachi and teaching English in Japan.[6] He found that many students lacked a means of learning conversational English and started English, baby! to create an online experience similar to traveling in the English-speaking world or studying abroad. Hayden remains the company's CEO.[4]
In 2005, Versation Inc., a parent company for English, baby![10] was created. Versation also produces alumni management and recruitment software for colleges and universities.
Following the popularity of sites like MySpace and Facebook, English, baby! introduced social networking features in 2006, enabling members to create profiles on the site. In 2009, English, baby! registered its one millionth member.[9]
English, baby! has content-sharing partnerships with companies such Nokia in China, and HOOP Magazine in Japan.[11]

Disney's Infinity game console is making a bold leap to secure a share of the booming video game market for itself — while giving gamers the opportunity to create stories with iconic characters from its most popular franchises.
The 'Infinity Base' device lets users engage real-world characters via power discs and activate original story-driven adventures within the game. Players collect characters, vehicles and gadgets from Disney titles such as "Monsters University," "The Incredibles" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and save them to a virtual 'Toy Box.'
Due in June, Infinity will be deployable across all major gaming platforms including PS3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS.Continue reading...

The annual San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) kicks off today, and as ever, it's a massive promotional platform for brands.
Founded as the "Golden State Comic Book Convention" in 1970 by a group of San Diegan comic book fans, the annual fanfest has evolved to include video games, toys and other forms of genre entertainment. That's why Hollywood beats a path south to the show every year — to generate buzz among the estimated 250,000 comic book, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and video game fans hitting town for the four day pop-culture fix.
One of the biggest movies being touted this year: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, which marks the cast's last appearance as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner hyping the Nov. 16th final bow with a 1pm ET (above) panel. Also red-hot: Iron Man 3, with Robert Downey Jr. and co-stars on hand to promote the movie scheduled for May 3rd of next year.Continue reading...

As tentpole movies increasingly become vehicles to move items off store shelves, one "product" that has excelled at leveraging onscreen placements is "geography." And when it comes to comic book titles and their real life cities, probably no hero is better at local marketing than Spider-Man.
No surprise then that, with a brandtastic new Spider-Man reboot hitting cinemas today, Sony and Marvel marketers leveraged Peter "Spider-Man" Parker's real life New York City home as part of its amazing marketing campaign, with one mild-mannered exception.Continue reading...

For a series of Batman movies that takes itself so seriously, it's a surprise to see it right there so prominent as one of only five menu items on the official The Dark Knight Rises website: "Imported From Gotham City."
The Dark Knight Rises has a number of other official partners. There is Nokia (remember them?) and No Fear (remember them?) and Mountain Dew, which features at the core of its tie-in "Sad Batman." But none of these brands even get a mention on the film's official website, let alone being featured on the site navigation.
It seems that the heavyweight "Imported from Detroit" campaign, which debuted with Eminem at the 2011 Super Bowl and was reborn with Clint Eastwood at the 2012 Super Bowl, is now so ingrained in the American psyche that it's worth lampooning. But the first rule of auto product placement is "be serious." Be so, so serious.Continue reading...

Without a doubt, audiences walking out of The Avengers are going to remember seeing one brand among the many that pop up throughout the movie: Acura.
The automaker filled the film, literally start to finish, with its models. And it capped it all off with at the end with Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony "Iron Man" Stark hopping into a new, attention-grabbing Acura NSX roadster — and straight onto the carpet at the movie's premiere.
In the product placement world, The Avengers tie-in is a bit of a coup for Acura, with Stark having preferred Audi R8s in both previous Iron Man films. But by providing only a concept car for its most high profile role ever, has Acura dropped the product placement ball?Continue reading...

Saturday Cup practice at Pocono rained out
Aug 3, 2013, 1:30 PM EDT
Rain has moved out from the Pocono Raceway, but not before causing NASCAR to scratch a pair of practice sessions this morning for tomorrow's Sprint Cup event, the GoBowling.com 400. The practices were originally scheduled for 9-9:50 a.m. ET and 11:30-12:20 p.m. ET.
According to Bob Pockrass of the Sporting News, the track was not dry for this morning's first session and that the second session – "Happy Hour" – was cut since the rain stopped just 15 minutes before it was to begin.
Qualifying for today's Camping World Truck Series race, the Pocono Mountains 125, was also cancelled this morning because of the rain.
The grid for that race was set according to Friday practice speeds, which means that Brazil's Miguel Paludo and Florida's Ross Chastain will be on the front row. Track drying is currently ongoing to get the 2.5-mile oval ready for the Trucks this afternoon.
The Sprint Cup teams were able to get in one practice session and qualifying in on Friday afternoon, with Jimmie Johnson claiming the pole for Sunday's race.

Dealing with disruption
This is all very exciting, and the transformations have been amazing. I feel a new kinship with all the veterinary hospitals we feature that have built new or remodeled. But there have been some headaches along the way. For one, my trash can is missing. How can a trash can just disappear? I have no idea. And I'm too busy right now to hunt it down or find a replacement. So I'm walking out and tossing my trash into the big barrel the construction guys are using.
Another disruption, this one near-crisis-level: The coffee machine has been out of service for days. I've always complained about our machine brew and the silty mug-bottom residue it leaves, but now that I don't have that legal addictive stimulant practically within arm's reach, it's started to seem like nectar of the gods. (One of my coworkers says he's been nursing a caffeine-withdrawal headache the size of Texas for about 72 hours now.) All of this is in addition to the drilling, demolishing, paint fumes, and blocking of hallways by large unfamiliar men carrying furniture caked with a decade's worth of dust.You deal with your share of disruptions, too. From the client who arrives at your hospital with a patient in crisis to the interpersonal employee conflict that keeps everyone from focusing on the job at hand to the phone call from your spouse who can't pick up your daughter from school after all—a normal day in a veterinary practice is peppered with interruptions and distractions.
The question is, how do we respond to these potential productivity pitfalls? There are many possibilities. We can get crabby. We can become distracted by the commotion and forget to focus on our duties altogether. We can refuse to respond at all to the disruption even when it addresses a legitimate need. Or, we can muster the patience we know is in there somewhere and focus on the big picture. I'm trying to do the latter, even though I'm also guilty of some (OK, all) of the former at various times.
They say that how we react under stress reveals our character—we're like cups that, when jostled, spill a little bit of our contents for all to see. So I'm trying to keep that in mind and spill something nice instead of something nasty. All I ask is that you not judge too harshly before the coffee machine is up and running again.

Duck and Cover
The tornado sirens have just gone off. The dogs don't much care for it and are howling in protest. Have I mentioned I have four dogs now? How did that happen? It's been an interesting day what with power out for most of the morning. The rest of the day should prove to be potentially interesting. Good thing I am off today, off from work that is. Otherwise, well, I will neither confirm or deny.
Everyone in the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio Valleys stay safe today.
Where's my video camera?
Be safe, Michael!
What breed/s are your pups?
I'm sure they're happy to have a home and be with you!
(I never thought I could love an animal as much as I love Roxie--I love the cat clan, too----but they only love me back when they want something, usually..)
That's not true KJ! They love you unconditionally. They're just shier.
You too Michael! You're not "off" in anyway that I can tell. My greatest solace these days is that I live in the underground portion of our house with very few windows. The lowest level. Exactly where you would go in a tornado. 'cept, of course, when I am at work. I do have to worry about flooding, but not having the roof torn off and getting sucked out. Smashed maybe, but not sucked out.
The two new dogs that now reside here were my brother's family dog. They live in a suburb on a very small lot. My SIL in not in good health. Both dogs are escape artist. Well one is and the other follows. Merci is an older dog and in not too good of shape. She is a catahoula/sharpei mix and as sweet as she can be. It's Truth, a golden retriever, that is the debbil. Truth has been here just over a week and I brought home Merci on Monday. They seem to really appreciate their new digs, half acre fenced in back yard and all that. The other two, Angel and Beau, are adjusting.
Seems that is all I do lately, duck and cover. Day before yesterday at the doctor's office, tornado warning, same day at home severe weather alert, later tornado sirens, missed us by about 12 miles.
Yesterday outpatients surgery, 2 hr wait until severe thunderstorms were gone, only patients allready in surgery were finished. Afternoon thunderstorms. Evening thunderstorms, rain in buckets, tornado sirens, tornado, lucked out again.
This morning, woke up at 5 AM to sirens, now it is getting black again and already weather warnings for the rest of the day. Had the news channels on from 5 AM to 9:30 AM, maybe 20 minutes of news, all other weather charts and reports. It's getting old. Entertainment channels get constantly interrupted by National Weather Station with warnings.
Michael, you sure do have your hands full---but, in my book you are doing the right thing. God love you!
For them to have a safe place to live and enough to eat and to be LOVED---what else is there?
Good for you.
I'm proud of you, really and truly.
----and you know what? When you come home and you might be sad or tired, there will always be a fuzzy head on your lap waiting to hear ALL about it!

MIC: Buy Local at Ringgold Store
By: Latricia Thomas
We have a different spin on our "Made In" series. We're going inside Tillie Towne in Ringgold, a store where you can buy some of the products we've featured that are made locally.
When you walk in the door at Tillie Towne, there's one label that's even more important to customers than the price tag. Every item can bear a "Made in America" tag.
Everything that owner Jeannette Fox sells is made somewhere in the United States, with many items created even closer to home. She carries local honey, Lodge Cast Iron Cookware, even sheep milk soap from Tunnel Hill, Georgia. Fox says her customers really support her cause. "We've heard everything from 'I've never heard of that, or isn't that great,' so they are very, very pleased."
With the economy in a slump, Jeannette wanted to help more than just her bottom line. "We were feeling very bad about what was happening in our area, in our country" Fox says. "We thought why don't we do something that's all 'Made in America' because that's going to help preserve jobs for people." She started perusing products made from one US coast to the other, and soon found homemade handiwork from just down the road, stories she passes on to her customers. "When people come in here they rather get an education of some sort."
Two doors down, Farm to Fork feeds off that same "made Local" concept in what both businesses call the perfect locale. "We are in a small town, but they appreciate the 'Made in America' theme and making it from scratch," says Chef Joseph Black. "The reason we came is they do seem to appreciate those kind of things."
"I've had a lot of thank you," Fox says. "Thank you for doing this."

I'm trying to decide on a new laptop, I don't need major HD memory or RAM. 40 gigs and 512 MB suit me just fine right now actually. My current issues is laptop overheat and battery life. My currently laptop hits temperatures of 60-65C when playing WoW or CS everytime. and the battery life on mine is just barely over an hour. I know the processor is the cause of the temperature and partially the cause of the battery life. Also due a low number of fan (yes only one overworked fan on my laptop) is another cause. So any ideas? the most annoying thing is the price for me right now. I'm not as picky about brands at this point.
uhhh too much crap, ^_^ to sum it up I'm looking for a laptop with at least:

Practicing Patience When God Has You Waiting
Some days, it is a lot harder to be patient. When we're bringing our concerns to the Lord again and again, we grow tired of waiting. It soon begins to feel like our prayers are falling on deaf ears. Often our desire is to take control and just "do the best we can"; it is our fleshly reaction to the silence. We know Galatians 5 lists patience as a fruit of the Holy Spirit so we confess our desire to rule our own lives. We ask the Spirit to fill us, empowering and directing us even as we continue to wait on the Lord.
This doesn't mean our circumstances change. Our only child remains sick in the hospital, the thread our marriage hangs on continues to splinter, and the hope we've held on to for years fades with increasing speed. Having prayed fervently about whatever issue you are facing too many times to count, it's easy to feel your bank of patience depleting once again. On these days, let these reminders on the nature of patience be an encouragement to you as you continue to wait.
You are not alone in the waiting.
"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." – Romans 8:22- 25 (New International Version)
Waiting is a common experience. All your brothers and sisters in faith, as well as all of creation know what it is like to wait on the Lord. Consider those who have waited before you: Job, David, a myriad of Prophets. There is plenty of encouragement in the Bible concerning a need for patience and those who have excelled in it. James 5:7, Colossians 1:10-12, Psalm 40:1 and Revelations 14:12 are just a few examples of the myriad of passages about the topic.
The New Bible Dictionary defines patience as "God given restraint in the face of opposition or oppression". Patience is only needed when there is a reason to not wait. It is only necessary in the face of opposition. This is why seeking patience is in many senses a battle. The promise we can lean on here is that patience is God given restraint. The Lord is the one who provides us with spiritual armor to go into battle. We often think of patience as mere endurance, but such logic is faulty. We are not exercising restraint on our own strength. In truth, our only responsibility is to trust that God will provide the strength to hold on, and then act accordingly to our faith in that promise.
How is this strength given us?
We receive this strength by being filled with the Spirit. As Christians, we know that the ultimate source of patience lives within us. Our role is to trust that the Holy Spirit does live within us, and ask Him for strength to persevere in whatever situation we find ourselves in. This is a provision we can claim by faith as taught us in Romans 5:1-5.
Patience as listed in Galatians 5 is often called longsuffering. The original Greek word is makrothumio, meaning "long temper". We are to keep a long and slow temper towards God, others and ourselves. This spiritual posture calls for grace. It is grace that compels us to trust God, grace that we can extend to others when they hurt us and grace to forgive ourselves when we stumble and fall.
The experience of waiting on God reminds us that our reality as Christians is not within our apparent circumstances, but rather in the truth of Christ's love and life in us. This gives us hope as Romans 8:28 assures us that "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." It is not in our abilities to know the time or way in which God will work things out. Ecclesiastes 3:11 and Isaiah 55:8-9 are great reminders that these rest solely in the domain of God's knowledge. Our role here is to trust the promise of Philippians 1:6 and wait with hope as God's brings about to completion the good work He began in each of our lives.
What is our role in the battle?
Consider again the definition of patience as God given restraint. God allows us to access divine restraint, but it is our choice to accept it and act in willful obedience. Adam and Eve were given complete free will. They were gifted many provisions in the garden so they wouldn't need to partake in the fruit that was forbidden. However, they chose to not exercise restraint and instead disobeyed God's command. When we use God given restraint to wait on His will and timing, we renounce their fallen actions and step out in obedience towards God.
There is purpose in the process. Take a look at Hebrews 12:2. Waiting on God forces us to look to Him. It casts our eyes rightly to Christ as the source of our faith and the assurance of our salvation. It reminds us that Christ's death and life is the reason we can be filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Trials cause us to persevere by deepening our knowledge of God and relying on him more intentionally. As James 1:2-4 tells us it is here that a mature and complete faith is grown.
Standing patiently when we wait on the Lord does not mean being stuck at a standstill. Consider Ephesians 6 which instructs us to "put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then." To hold ground by remaining obedient to the Lord while waiting is not passive. Note that the word stand is repeated three times. Patience is an act of the will to claim ground for the Kingdom of God, and is rewarded richly by Him. Revelations 3:10-11 tells us of God's care for those who persevere through the battle.
Whether we feel we lack patience to wait on God, or to continue to love those that may be hard to love, we do in actuality have access to all the patience we need. We can trust God to give us the strength to bear our circumstances and instead use the time of waiting to grow in intimacy with the Lord.

Hello once again
Oh and why do some people get more provisions to handle the storm while they are waiting over others? Two people can be running the same race to success but one person gets more help and less obstacles than the other person does. Does god favor others over others? Just kindly wondering.
My question is why does it seem like when you move on faith for BIG thing to happen in your life. It seems god keeps taking you backwards instead of forwards. Its seems to have no logic to it.I just can't can't figure it out. My BIG thinking is not matching my reality. I finally understand being patient but being idle with no income coming in is torcher. Thanks
[expletive removed] God he's a [expletive removed]
This is a thanks to Sue may God truly bless you for that encouragement to Chris Shaw, it has encouraged me too. And to Chris Shaw, Jamie and all my other brothers and sisters in Christ who struggle with waiting on God remember we are in this world but we are not of this world. And so there are many things of this world that distract, discourage and lure us to think God has forsaken us including our own flesh but that feeling is a LIE! Do not give in to it because as we struggle the devil is also trying to prey on our weaknesses using worldly notions and logics. Always remember God will not put you in a situation you cannot overcome because Jesus overcame for us already and the Holy Spirit he has left with us as our strength and guide. Remember to trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and never lean on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Prov 3:5-6.
I love the part of not leaning on our own understanding because to me here lies the key to my instruction. To me it means I trust even when I don't know how God could possibly make it better considering the situation, timing or magnitude of my problem. Then I remember that He is the author of time and life itself. He is the great 'I AM'(Exodus 3:14) so every problem should bow to this name. Sometimes we need to remind the problem that He who is in us is greater than he who is in this world (1 John 4:4). And more times we need to remind ourselves this fact too.
God bless you all, I too am waiting and I hope this helps someone out there in their waiting. Greeting from Africa :)
Thank you Chris and May God Bless you.
Hello, its me once again. I wanted to share another experience i recently experienced. And to those that have read my previous posts, i hope someone can help me and if that has to do with what i am about to share. Recently, ive been having nightmares. Sometimes i would gasp for air when i awaken. The nightmares have been surreal for me and has left me worried. A couple of weeks ago, i dreamt that i was in a place that was dark, cluttered with old things and gave a sensation of fear. I remember i was in a room that was in that place and that I was trying to hide from something that was trying to cause me harm. At that time, i remember running to the room and closing the door. When i was immediately locking the door, the thing bangs and bangs on the door, trying to get in. I then run to my mother, sister, and nephew who were in the room as well. I remember feeling a sense of responsibility that i had to protect them and i couldnt let the thing hurt them. Later in the dream, i remember i walk into another room that was in the place and while i was walking in, a sensation that i was in hell overcame me. When i walk into the room, i encounter the thing that was causing my fear, it was a little girl dressed in a white dress that was filthy, her face looked evil and i then knew that it was a demon. I remember running back to the room and locking it. I look over to my sister and mother and wondered why they looked calm and in peace. While i was feeling terrified that this demon would get into the room. Fortunately, someone wakes me from the nightmare and i wake up. This has been the first time i have dreamt this. I have prayes to lord about this but i still worry. I dont know what God is trying to tell me. Idk if he's trying to tell me something in regards to the experience i went through, the one i talked about in my previous post. I know this doesnt relate to the topic of having patience, but I do wish if someone could offer me some help. Thank you and god bless.
Please if anyone can offer me help. I have tried not to worry but its been difficult. Th
Hello Chris,
Thank you for responding and may god bless you. Unfortunately, during the time I was seeing this guy, i did not go to church. However, I had a strong relationship with the Lord and have always waited gor him, in everything. Including relationships. Thus, this guy was the first guy i have ever dated since i always attempted to avoid dating and to guard my heart from heartbreaks. Surprisingly, when i met him, I had an incredible connection with him, not physically but in a manner that is unconditional. Sadly, since i did not take this relationship to any pastor bc i never went to church. Yet, i took this relationship upon the Lord and always attempted to keep this relationship pure. Yet, now that i have found out that he is with someone after we seperated has caused me distressed. I also did not mention that this young man is a nonbeliever. He has told me that he has given himself the chance to have a relationship with the Lord but there was always something interfering. Thus, he has lost hope and continues the ways that he has followed since he was young. Hopefully this clear up some of the info i posted before. Sorry if i was not specific enough.
On the other hand, i am grateful for the responnse you have given me. I will wait upon the Lord and the plans he has for me. Maybe i need to refocus and focus more on the Lord. And know that his plans are better than mine and that he wants me to have the best of the best. I just need to remind myself everyday about his promises. Thank you for your support, Chris and may god bless you.
There are some mistakes in my writing. I typed my post using my phone and of course i didnt check it until it was finally posted. I hope it is still understandable. Anyways, thanks to those who decide to help me. May god bless you.
Hello everyone, I am a 19 years old woman seeking help because i have been experiencing a lot of difficulty in trusting God fully, with all my heart. I find it very difficult to place all control of my life in His hands and to let go of my past, my sufferings, and anything else i hold dear. Especially in regards to relationships. Three year I met a young man who i feel deeply in love with, however due to family issues, we decided to seperate. Of course, I was heartbroken and felt angry towards myself and God. I startes to blame myself and God for the seperation and the pain i was going through. This continued for the following two years until one day I heard the Lord speak to me in silent whisper. Never has this happened to me before but while i finally decided to pray about what i went through, i felt within my heart that Lord said "Wait". From that moment, my faith grew and my relationship with the Lord has become close. I started to change, spiritually and in everything else. I finally felt retored and in peace. Two years later, i rencounter the same young man with whom I fell in love with. We started talking once again and I began to pray to the Lord to do his will. By the end of the month, i discover that he was in a relationship with someone for the past two years. Clearly, i was heartbroken once again. From the moment we seperates, i didnt get involved with anyone because i felt that he was the ONE that God had for me. But now i feel so lost and I dont know what to do. Somwtimes i feel like God has ignored me, does not hear me. I feel frustrated with him and myself. I know i shouldnt feel like this but i dont know how to wait on God anymore, especially when it comes to relationships. Ive asked God for signs if this young man is the One and i always get them. But at the end i always end up frustrated. I feel as if i misheard God when he said "wait". And what if this guy isnt the one that the Lord has for me. Its been difficult for me and continues to be this way. I dont know what to do.
How is the attitude when you are praying and waiting for someone and yet the others push Him in the other girl but still om here praying to our Lord at the right and best time.Sometimes i feel sad everytime i thought that nobody wants me to him.

Lamentation 3:25
I have been unemployed for five years. We are living with friends who complain about everything. I had such a fantastic job interview that I deleted going to law school another semester. The law firm hasn't kept their word with me in getting back to me and now I'm at an utter loss.
We have been through so much financial adversity, I cry every single day. I totally feel like God has forgotten me and I've been a Christian for 33 years.
This reply is to Chris Shaw; Chris, I don't know you but out of all the letters,
yours stuck out to me. I have been in the same place you are (or maybe "were");
All of Gods children have been in that place at one time or another. I hope that
things have worked out for you at this time (I only saw this post for the first time today), but whether they have or not know that God loves you and promised He will NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU!! He is working behind the scenes.
Sometimes He will allow a delay but He never forgets His promises to us. Think of the ways that He has sustained you through the hard times and sent someone with a word of encouragement to you, just when you were about to give up.
He has not and will never forget you. He is for you. Whether it feels like it or not. That's why it's important we forget our "feelings" and stand on what we know
to be true from the Word of God. He cannot and will not lie; the scripture
says His word will NOT return void; meaning it HAS TO accomplish what God Himself
has promised. Keep praying…GOD HEARS YOU!!! Your problems have an expiration
date….God knows when the perfect timing is for the answer to every prayer.
Sometimes it's not you that's not ready, sometimes it's someone else He has to
work on to accomplish the fulfillment of the promise. But it WILL happen.
im struggling to hold onto faith that God will come thru with divine intervention in our 40 yr old child who has left her husband of 16+ yrs, and our youngest child who struggles with sexual addiction and also has been jobless for 3 months

And Lahiri does a excellent job of telling these stories of normal everyday people, with normal problems or experiences, with an introspection that is rare this side of William Styron or Philip Roth. Most of the characters are of Indian origin and the themes are colored by Indian culture -- however Americans, even those with little knowledge of this culture, will easily identify with each story.
Instead of giving summaries of each story let me say that this book is a fairly short and very well written so it is a
"quick read" and well worth it.

I'm tired of feeling so terrible all the time. Eight years, Mr. Kapasi, I've been in pain eight years. I was hoping you could help me feel better; say the right thing. Suggest some kind of remedy.Of course, Mr. Kapasi has no cure for what ails Mrs. Das--or himself. Lahiri's subtle, bittersweet ending is characteristic of the collection as a whole.

HoopsHype Omri Casspi rumors
Casspi confirmed on Friday that he is interested in being a part of the franchise. "We'll see, they're building a team and hopefully I'll be a part of it. I want to be a part of it because I love soccer and I love the city of Sacramento, I think it's going to be great. I'm a big fan, and I enjoyed the game two weeks ago when I was there. I wish I could go tomorrow, but we have stuff to get done here first - I'll follow it," Casspi said. Sactown Royalty
The Sacramento Kings today signed free agent forward Omri Casspi, according to Kings General Manager Pete D'Alessandro. NBA.com
David 'Dubi' Pick: @HoopsRumors In radio chat overnight, Omri Casspi told me deal with Kings was reached in July. He'll sign once medical is done. Twitter @IAmDPick
Jason Jones: Omri Casspi is still in the plans. He'll sign when he returns to the States. Twitter @mr_jasonjones
David 'Dubi' Pick: NBA free agent Omri Casspi will sign a one-year guaranteed contract with Sacramento within 48 hours, per source. Twitter @IAmDPick
Jason Jones: The Kings seriously considered putting in a waiver claim on Casspi, but gambled that he wouldn't get claimed, looks like it'll pay off. Twitter @mr_jasonjones
Marc Stein: ESPN sources say Omri Casspi is finalizing a one-year contract at league min. with Sacramento tonight after clearing waivers earlier Friday Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Kings drafted Casspi in first round in 2009 and will bring him back now on one-year deal that should also allow them to hang onto Quincy Acy Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Based on my famously dodgy math, Casspi's current contract would have exceeded Sacramento's mere $976,295 under the tax line. This way Casspi can sign deal that only counts for $915,243 on Kings' cap and allows SAC to keep Quincy Acy as opposed to waiving him first Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: ESPN sources say that Omri Casspi, in a surprise, has just cleared waivers and is a free agent. With Casspi on a favorable minimum contract, expectation was that he'd be claimed, with Sacramento among the teams expected to put in a bid Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Casspi clearing waivers actually helps Sacramento's bid to sign him. Kings can now add OC AND keep Quincy Acy without going into luxury tax Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: New Orleans, as expected, has released newly acquired forward Omri Casspi, who will find new team in free agency if he clears waivers Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Omri Casspi has already publicly expressed interest in returning to Kings and word is Sacramento is planning to put in a waiver claim on him. Claiming Casspi off waivers would enable Kings to secure his rights without messing with free agency ... IF they are only team to claim him. Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Sam Amick: Omri Casspi is hopeful that (once waived by NO) he can re-sign w/ Kings. He could make a lot more overseas but won't give up his NBA dream. Twitter @sam_amick
Before the conversation ended, Casspi talked again about his early NBA career and expressed a desire to return to the city where it began. Once he is waived by the Pelicans, he added, he can sign with any other club. "My agent (Dan Fegan) is talking with a number of teams," he said, "and the Kings are one of them. Couldn't they use a stretch forward who can hit a three and loves to run? I think I could help, and it would be fun to play with Rudy (Gay), DeMarcus (Cousins), J.T. I still have a lot of friends there. I would love to come back and fulfill my path. But now I have to concentrate on the national team, and maybe, I can get some of this pressure off my chest." Sacramento Bee
He recently engaged in a brief, but controversial Twitter tussle about the Israel-Gaza conflict with his friend and former Houston Rockets teammate, Dwight Howard. But the worst of it? Casspi, 26, is standing on the corner of the latest Middle East conflagration, running to bomb shelters when sirens sound and incoming rockets shake his boyhood home in Yavne, a Tel Aviv suburb about 45 miles from the border with Gaza. "Everyone is scared and on edge," Casspi said in a lengthy phone conversation. "My dog (Butch) follows me everywhere, even into the bathroom. I tried to sleep last night, but then the sirens go off, and you can hear when the Iron Dome missiles connect with an incoming rocket. The whole house trembles. My sister and my parents, we just run to the nearest bomb shelter. Believe me, this is just terrible." Sacramento Bee

Campus Communications Leap Into the Future
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Ubiquitous computing is coming to Lancaster University's campus as part of a £500k SRIF II project e-Campus which aims to test and research ubiquitous computing technology and explore some of its uses.
The e-Campus initiative will create a large-scale experimental facility that provides ubiquitous computing facilities for all staff, students and visitors.
Large plasma screens and other displays such as projectors are being set up in key public spaces around the University along with interaction devices and sensors. These prototypes can be used to display content ranging from art and entertainment to breaking news and other information.
E-Campus is also interactive. People will be able to feed information into the system - for example sending a text from their phone to one of the plasma screens.
The process of designing, building, operating and evaluating such a large-scale ubiquitous computing system is generating new challenges for the research community.
The project, managed by a team from the Computing Department and the Network Research and Special Projects Unit, is currently in a prototyping phase. Example configurations of displays, sensors and interaction tools are being designed, built and evaluated.
Meanwhile, work has already begun with the introduction of art-computing collaboration Metamorphosis, which opened on October 15th, 2005, in a traffic underpass at Lancaster University. It is a creative coupling of technology and art that asks some interesting questions about how we interact with computers. It was put together by Computing Department collective .:thePooch:.- based in the University's ICT research, development and business centre InfoLab21 - along with a group of Cumbrian artists.
The e-Campus will provide a totally unique resource - extending far beyond existing lab-based ubiquitous computing test-beds and enabling researchers at Lancaster to conduct experiments involving a very large user community.

For breakfast was buffet, everything was on offer, Japanese and European style, I eat so much, one more bit and I would have bursted! Does not feel to good at the moment, but it pays out after a long days bike ride.

To begin with I used the very reasonably priced tram system(60p for any journey) to head to the peace park and viewed the a-bomb impact point and the 10 ...

... Once again I will not weight into the political debate but Nagasaki to this day remains the last City in the world to experience a nuclear attack and hopefully will always remain that way. The museums and memorials at this site have a large focus on educating and informing visitors on the worlds nuclear program's. It really is scary to see the mass devastation that was caused in the 1940's and the potential for today's bombs ...
