Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America
The Swan Corporation is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with manufacturing facilities in Centralia, Illinois.
We proudly manufacture all products made from these material systems in the USA.

A Filipina woman residing in Jordan walks past a taxi near central Amman on December 21, 2012. In October, the Philippines lifted a ban imposed in 2007 on its citizens working in Jordan after the two countries signed deals to protect them, including guaranteeing a minimum monthly salary of $400. The ban had been imposed because of 'the growing number of distressed Filipino workers' seeking help from diplomatic offices in Jordan, according to Manila. But despite the accords, abuse is still reported. AFP PHOTO/KHALIL MAZRAAWI (Photo credit should read KHALIL MAZRAAWI/AFP/Getty Images)

The case 'Hitting the Wall: Nike and International Labor Practices' is set in the mid-1990s, when Nike, one of the world's most successful footwear companies, is hit by a spate of alarmingly bad publicity. After years of high-profile media attention as the company that can "just do it," Nike is suddenly being portrayed as a firm that relies on low-cost, exploited labor in its overseas plants. Nike officials vigorously deny the charges, claiming that Nike has no control over the independent contractors who manufacture Nike shoes. But the activists will not retreat. Eventually, Nike must learn to deal with the activists' claims and with the tangle of conflicting data that surrounds the concept of a "fair" or "living" wage.
learning objective:
To stimulate debate about appropriate wages in developing countries and the role of activists in affecting company decisions.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is growth, mental, and physical problems that may occur in a baby when a mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy.
Alcohol in pregnancy; Alcohol-related birth defects; Fetal alcohol effects; FAS
Using or abusing alcohol during pregnancy can cause the same risks as using alcohol in general. However, it poses extra risks to the unborn baby. When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, it easily passes across the placenta to the fetus. Because of this, drinking alcohol can harm the baby's development.
A pregnant woman who drinks any amount of alcohol is at risk for having a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. No "safe" level of alcohol use during pregnancy has been established. Larger amounts of alcohol appear to increase the problems. Binge drinking is more harmful than drinking small amounts of alcohol.
Timing of alcohol use during pregnancy is also important. Alcohol use appears to be the most harmful during the first 3 months of pregnancy; however, drinking alcohol any time during pregnancy can be harmful.
A baby with fetal alcohol syndrome may have the following symptoms:
A physical exam of the baby may show a heart murmur or other heart problems. As the baby grows, there may be signs of delayed mental development. There also may be problems with the face and bones.
Tests include:
Women who are pregnant or who are trying to get pregnant should avoid drinking any amount of alcohol. Pregnant women with alcoholism should join an alcohol abuse rehabilitation program and be checked closely by a health care provider throughout pregnancy.
The following organizations may offer assistance:
The following organizations are good resources for information on alcoholism:
The outcome for infants with fetal alcohol syndrome varies. Almost none of these babies have normal brain development.
Infants and children with fetal alcohol syndrome have many different problems, which can be difficult to manage. Children do best if they are diagnosed early and referred to a team of health care providers who can work on educational and behavioral strategies that fit the child's needs.
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy may result in:
Complications seen in the infant may include:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are drinking alcohol regularly or heavily, and are finding it difficult to cut back or stop. Also, call if you are drinking alcohol in any amount while you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
Avoiding alcohol during pregnancy prevents fetal alcohol syndrome. Counseling can help women who have already had a child with fetal alcohol syndrome.
Sexually active women who drink heavily should use birth control and control their drinking behaviors, or stop using alcohol before trying to get pregnant.

15.12.2013 /
Red Bull KTM factory rider Taddy Blazusiak scrambled back to victory in the third final of Round 2 of the SuperEnduro Championships in Lodz, Poland to round off the night overall second behind David Knight (UK).
Taddy Blazusiak, who this season took his fifth AMA EnduroCross title, finished with a 4-8-1 result but also took the Super Pole and retains the lead in the points for the 2013-2014 competition. Spain's Dani Gibert finished third overall behind Knight and Blazusiak.
It was also a good night for KTM rider Giacomo Redondi of Italy who was a comfortable winner in the junior category.
There was plenty of action in the Prestige Class in the first of three finals with Knight getting away cleanly and taking his first win of the series as Blazusiak found himself deep in traffic behind him. Blazusiak was back to fourth place by the end of the race with French rider Mathias Bellino and Britain's Danny McCanney picking up places 2-3. Gibert rounded off the top five.
Riders started in the reverse order in the second of the three finals and Knight and Blazusiak had to fight their way through the field. Gibert took control of the race on lap six and went on to win ahead of Alfredo Gomez and KTM rider Kornel Nemeth. KTM's Jonny Walker moved up to fifth, three places ahead of his result in the first of the three finals while Knight and Blazusiak, who had to scramble back from a number of crashes finished sixth and eighth respectively.
But it was in the third final that Taddy came into his own, lifting his game in front of his home crowd to grab the holeshot on his KTM 350 EXC-F and lead the opening lap. Bellino then slipped past him when he made a small mistake but the Pole recovered and went on to take the win. Knight, Walker and Bellino took place 2-4.
Fabio Farioli (KTM Enduro Team Manager): "It was a difficult track tonight, not impossible but difficult and overall I am happy with the team's performance. The individual results did not really reflect how well they rode tonight."
The competition now goes into recess until January when it will resume on Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the first of two rounds in the Americas, before returning to Europe for two more rounds in Spain and France.

+ - On Second Thought: IAEA re-categorizes 47 of Japan's nuclear reactors->
Lasrick (2629253) writes "In an unprecedented move, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today retroactively re-categorized 47 Japanese nuclear reactors from "in operation" to "long-term shutdown" in its Power Reactor Information System. Thus, the global number of nuclear reactors listed as "in operation" drops from 437 to 390, a number not seen since Chernobyl-year 1986."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!..causes? Reactions?....share your stories
probably brownout from a grid overload, too many people living in NJ and NYC, poor service from power companies. i know Delmarva Power sucks and charges out the ass
well down here in wb we had a power outage and it screwed my computer and now its the mother board thats a fried.
Coming home from work around 6:00.Red Bank was total chaos,Bad enough during rush hour,now throw in no traffic lights.It really blew.
Supposedly a transformer blew up in Neptune, thus power outage.
a switching station blew in neptune and the overload shut 3 other stations down... took out most of monmouth and ocean and part off middlesex, hour and a half of gridlock in red bank no lights and no cops in middletown... pretty crazy stuff. When the switching station blew they said it shot a fire ball like 150 ft in the air and it rattled buildings half a mile away
so im chilling on my computer at like 530 and i look out my window and see crazy flashes of light like a mile away lighting up the whole sky 3 mins later all power goes out...
i was driving home on the parkway south, right past the pnc arts center around 5:30 and i saw big flashes of light then all the street lights went out and i knew the power was out, driving through lights and seeing how confused people were was hilarious, i've driven in other countries with no traffic rules before it was the same idea, u had to be aggressive and cautious in order to make it somewhere, i was the only one able to make a left at a really busy light, it was backed up so i decided to drive around the people and eased my way through and made it

All our products ship with McAfee Embedded Control as standard
How is Amada currently making use of McAfee Embedded Control?
All Amada Windows-equipped sheet metal processing machinery ships with McAfee Embedded Control (MEC) whitelisting antivirus software as standard.1 We shipped approximately 1,500 machines equipped with MEC domestically and internationally in the six months starting January 2011.
We are also going the extra mile and offering an after-sale MEC implementation service for machines without MEC shipped before December 2010.
At Amada, the stable operation of our customer's machines is vitally important to us, so we hold that our products should ship with sufficient security measures.
User benefits of machines equipped with MEC
What has been the effect of equipping Amada sheet metal processing machinery with MEC?
Equipping MEC as standard lets us guarantee convenience to our factory users. They don't need to worry about previously time-consuming viruses on long-life sheet metal processing machinery. There's no effort involved. Even if they forget about antivirus software operation, they'll be fine.
We compared the characteristics of MEC as a whitelisting antivirus with blacklisting, to show why MEC is more suitable for sheet metal processing machinery.
1Proportion of models with MEC as standard: some models are not yet equipped with MEC due to the need to balance the timing of model updates.
Product Comparison | Blacklisting | Whitelisting |
Embedded systems using built-in or legacy OS* | X Assuming you can implement latest antivirus on latest OS, there are support restrictions for legacy or built-in OS in the long term. |
☑ Does not need virus signatures to protect, can be used for long-term support of built-in and legacy OS. |
Impact on performance of embedded systems with limited hardware resources | X System load increases during virus signatures update or scanning, concern for performance degradation of active applications. |
☑ No scanning, whitelist checking takes place when application starts, prevents virus execution with low overheads. |
Requirements on user to manage the system | X Virus signatures update and scans must be carried out daily, confirmation takes up operating man-hours. |
☑No operational demands on the user after registering applications in the whitelist. |
* "Legacy OS" - OS no longer supported by the vendor.
Blacklisting antivirus puts the burden on the user to implement the latest antivirus software, update virus signatures and run scans, which makes it unsuited to long-life sheet metal processing machinery with limited hardware resources.
Whitelisting antivirus allows only authorised programs to run so viruses, as unauthorised programs, are not allowed to execute. This is far more suited to environments where only certain programs are operated, such as sheet metal processing machinery.
How does whitelisting antivirus protect a system from viruses?
Question to McAfee. Please give us a simple explanation of how whitelisting antivirus works.
Blacklisting, the most common antivirus method, works by finding malicious viruses (if it's black, don't let it through). McAfee Embedded Control whitelisting antivirus works by only allowing legitimate programs to run (if it's white, let it through).
A virus cannot infect the system environment just by entering it, it infects when it is executed. So if only legitimate programs are allowed to run, viruses cannot execute.
How are executing programs identified as authorised (white)?
The user registers programs as authorised (white) in advance. Then whenever a new program is run in the environment, it is identified as a registered and authorised (white) program or not, and execution is allowed or denied. The process in more detail is as follows.
"You don't need to look after it." "You can use it on an old OS too." "It doesn't interfere with manufacturing activities."
What are the merits of whitelisting from Amada's point of view?
"Whitelisting suits sheet metal processing machinery."
Mr Naoto Okada
AMNC Automation Software Development Department
I believe the merits of whitelisting from the point of view of Amada's customers (factory users) are as follows.
Merit 1: No additional antivirus management requirements - you don't need to look after it
With blacklisting, you are not protected against the latest viruses unless you continually update the virus signatures (or the version of the antivirus software itself). This complicated antivirus management does not fit in with the production environment of the factory floor. Whitelisting does away with this antivirus management and allows everyone in the factory to concentrate on production activities.
Merit 2: Antivirus does not interfere with sheet metal processing machinery operation
With blacklisting, resident virus checking or download of virus signatures can start while the sheet metal processing machinery is under high operating load, hindering the machine's operation. With whitelisting, checking only takes place when a program runs so there is no such interference.
Merit 3: Allows long-term software use
As I see it, the life expectancy of a software product is 2-3 years. It moves in a cycle of continuously updating to the latest technology, constantly updating to the latest version, and urgently applying patches where something is missing. But once sheet metal processing machinery is purchased, it can be used for many years. The thinking here is that safety comes first, mature technology is best, and that the machinery will continue to be used so long as it still works.
Whitelisting, as explained by McAfee, allows continuous and stable use of a legacy OS. Whitelisting antivirus is suited to the values of the manufacturing industry.
Even if you say the customer doesn't have to look after the sheet metal processing machinery, Amada might update its machine control program during the five or ten years it is in use. How is the whitelist updated in this case?
MEC offers a number of whitelist update methods, and at Amada we use the digital signature security method.
We provide all applications installed on Amada equipment, so the entire series is signed by Amada. Further, we are putting a policy in place which will allow updates for our signed applications to be pre-registered in the whitelist.
This will allow service personnel to follow the same update process as before, but in the background MEC will check digital signatures, prevent unauthorised programs from entering the system, and update only our software. Basically, providing MEC means we don't have to impose additional tasks on our service personnel and our customers have no concerns about security being lowered during software updates.
Why Amada is improving security for sheet metal processing machinery
Tell us why Amada is so serious about improving security for sheet metal processing machinery.
"As sheet metal processing machinery becomes networked, it needs better security."
Mr Go Iwano
AMNC Automation Software Development Department
Broadly speaking, sheet metal processing machinery became increasingly computerised and networked after around 1995, making it much more convenient and productive. After that, maybe around 2004, the threat of viruses came to light as a side-effect of computerisation and networking and Amada started to concentrate on the security of its products.
Sheet metal processing machinery was previously operated by button or lever, with no computer involved. (There was no need to worry about computer security for sheet metal processing machinery at that time.)
In the 1990s, the problem of how to retain the know-how of experienced technicians who were about to retire from the factories came to the fore. One solution was to create a database with the innate knowledge of those experienced technicians and to use that database (program) for easy and highquality manufacturing, so we concentrated on that.
Computerisation first took hold in the research and development department, followed by digitisation for design drawings thanks to CAD. To keep up with these developments, sheet metal processing machinery needed an interface to accept data, and the control systems of sheet metal processing machines were equipped with computers (Windows).
The manufacturing industry became more and more computerised. Interconnected 'networked' sheet metal processing machinery soon became the norm, and it provided great increases in productivity and convenience inside factories.
However, as networking increased inside factories there was also an increased security risk of viruses entering factories through data sharing via the internet or USB memory devices, and the need for increased security in factories became clear.
One example of problems caused by viruses in a factory that I have heard of is where a virus enters the factory via USB, then the virus itself sends attacking packets over the network in order to infect other machines, network performance deteriorates and system performance is affected.
Feeling the limitations of blacklisting countermeasures
How did Amada first respond to these security issues?
In the beginning, we recommended that our customers use blacklisting antivirus software as a countermeasure. Specifically, the process was as follows.
But this method of using blacklisting antivirus software, as I've said previously, has the disadvantage that it takes up management man-hours for the customer (factory user). Further, we had the problem that as a new version of the blacklisting antivirus software was released every 1-2 years, and every time a new version came out we had to test it, we had to expend a lot of effort on testing.
We searched for a good method that could be used in place of blacklisting in order to circumvent these problems. As we searched, we found out about McAfee Embedded Control through a business contact. We understood from his explanation that whitelisting was perfectly suited to sheet metal processing machinery, and we started actively investigating it.
We tried to use the OS's basic functionality
Did you investigate other methods besides whitelisting?
We used to use the Enhanced Write Filter as a virus countermeasure in machines equipped with Windows Embedded. The filter function could be used to return the disk to its former state (a blank slate every time) when the machine was powered off and on again, even if a virus wrote to the disk.
But with this method, even if the machine could be returned to its previous state by being powered off and on again, viruses would remain active so long as the machine was switched on and could even infect other machines. Sheet metal processing machines by their very nature are in operation for long periods of time, so it's not unusual to have one switched on for six months at a time. So, using this method, a virus could be active for six months. Due to these and other problems, we searched for another countermeasure. That was when we started to investigate whitelisting.
At that time the only whitelisting products were MEC and a product from another company. We investigated both products and compared them, and MEC was superior in terms of specifications, functionality and performance, so we adopted it and that decided our basic policy. Afterwards, we carried out testing on all of Amada's Windowsequipped products. Whenever problems arose during the testing process, McAfee made corrections and amendments for us.
After about 12 months of testing, we confirmed that MEC satisfied our product requirements, and in October 2010 we decided to provide it as standard on our products.
In the six months between the first products shipping in January 2011 and now, we have achieved the guaranteed security without effort for our customers that I mentioned at the beginning.
Future expectations
What are you expecting from McAfee in the future?
"We expect continuous technical support and superior product capability."
Mr Naoyasu Narita, Manager
AMNC Automation Software Development Department
By equipping Amada's products with MEC we have provided a countermeasure for our customers against the security threats which form the dark side of computerisation, without imposing additional effort on them. Amada will continue to develop products that provide both convenience and security for our customers. We hope that McAfee will continue to help us increase the security of our sheet metal processing machinery through its superior product capability and technical support. We look forward to continued collaboration with McAfee.

Rethinking the Linux/Unix display is a Good Thing (tm), and it's great that people are doing it. Perhaps Wayland will one day solve all the problems we have with X, and we'll all be happy with it.
It's just that people have failed over and over again in killing X and providing us with something even remotely comparable. Very smart people with good ideas.
Now, things have changed in the meantime, and this is probably the best time to start asking these questions again -- drivers are being developed the right way and are not dependent on X, input handling is in the kernel, we are making more use of compositing and 3d acceleration everywhere, and pretty much all apps are written using portable widget libraries. A good display server could tie that all together and provide a great basis for future development.
Could. Might. One day. Maybe. Wait and see.
At the moment, Wayland can start and draw a window. That's it.

Hydrocephalus occurs when:
These problems with the CSF may be caused by:
Factors that increase your chance of hydrocephalus include:
Symptoms depend on the severity of the hydrocephalus. The extra CSF puts pressure on the brain. Symptoms may start out mild and become more severe as CSF pressure increases.
Symptoms may include:
In babies, symptoms may include:

LA Design Challenge 2011 competitors imagine "Hollywood's hottest new movie car"
Divided poster featuring the Subaru HORIZON (Image: Subaru Design Tokyo Studio)
Hollywood is not only famous for movies, but for showing us motor cars as they should be. James Bond's gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5, the magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Bullitt's indestructible Ford Mustang, Marty McFly's time-traveling Delorean and all of the incarnations of the Batmobile - these are the cars we walk into the dealer's showroom hoping to see, but never do. They exist nowhere except on the screen or as movie props. So what will become "Hollywood's hottest new movie car"? That's the question posed to automotive designers in the 2011 L.A. Auto Show Design Challenge. Drawing on the latest technology, decades of design experience and a healthy dose of imagination, here's how designers from major car companies have met this cinematic challenge.

I haven't used that particular oven, but I do use two of the Napoli140W 56" ovens in a commercial setting. They hold temp great under load and really I don't have a complaint. The biggest issue we've had with them was simply unpacking and placing them..they are just under 6000 pounds a piece.
Good Morning John. Ammazza is close to where I live and we got to visit shortly after they opened. Those ovens are HUGE and impressive looking. The place looks amazing although the layout is kinda weird. You're right, the pies, while good, are still not quite Neapolitan yet at least on the night we visited. I timed the average bake at a little over 3 minutes that night. Very promising though I'm looking forward to the day when their pizzaioli get more experience and the ovens get more seasoned.
Thank you for the information. I wonder if they are striving to do NP, or are set on a longer bake? The menu looked really interesting - how did the dough taste?John

Home equity lines of credit and home equity loans allow homeowners to borrow against the value of their homes. In recent years, as housing prices soared, this tax-deductible borrowing exploded in popularity. These days, however, many homeowners now owe more on their houses than the houses are worth, and home equity borrowing standards are tightening.

SamoneHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairAmazing ProductIt's very important that you know what it is that your hair is missing. I am biracial.. and i use to hate my hair.. but i use the Wen Treatment which is amazing... but also when i wash my hair i use Redken Butter Down Treatment I mix it with my Wen shampoo and let it sit for an hour with a shower cap on to lock in the heat or you can sit under a dryer if you have one. If i am in a hurry then i just let it sit on my hair for most of my shower. I will rinse it out it smells and feels great. I also will add jus a lil bit of redken and alil wen together and mix it thru my towel dried hair. It calms my frizz and most importantly it has made me ditch the perms and made my 2 year natural hair process that much easier! I can tame my flyaways and my hair is growing faster than it was.. still watch how much heat you use. Using Wen helps deep condition the hair when you color it and wont strip your color. Using both products also protect your hair from alot of damage when you do use heat. Good luck ladies this is a great product and go check on WEN!!posted Jan 7, 2013Link to this post
MarzTorontoHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairDidn't Do Anything For My HairI had such high hopes for this product after reading all the great reviews on folica and on the web.
I used this for hte first time after shampooing and lightly towel drying my hair. I left it in for a good 8 minutes before rinsing it out. And it did nothing. Smelled great, but didn't work to soften my hair at all. My hair was just as unmanageable as before. Very disapointing. I will keep using this until it finishes but I will not be repurchasing.posted Mar 9, 2011Link to this post -
MoLos AngelesHairDry HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairThick And RichI love this treatment. Excellent stuff and great for the price. I was using and paying for stuff that cost 3 times more before a friend recommended it to me and let me try some of hers. Results were the same plus I liked how this smelled much better.
I normally use this as a conditioner every two days or so--switching back and forth between drugstore brand stuff. I only put on enough to cover the bottom half of my hair where it needs it most. When my hair feels super extra dry, I use it as a treatment by piling it on and leaving it in my hair for the entire time I'm in the shower. I make sure the shower is nice and hot so there's lots of steam. The Smooth Down Butter is thick, rich, super moisturizing, and smells great too. My hair feels silky and smooth after use and even more so when after the steam session. If I feel like I need a boost of additional moisture before styling, I use a pea size dollop and work it through towel-dried hair before blow-drying.posted Feb 1, 2011Link to this post -

NomoredryhairBrooklyn, NYHairCurly HairGreat For Curly Dry HairIve been trying different conditioners on my hair to deep condition and give it a noticeably soft feel. I have to admit, the best conditioner Ive come across so far is the Redken Smooth Down Butter Treatment - after the first time trying it I noticed my hair felt a lot softer than usual (I have naturally curly hair which I always wear straight - so my hair has DEFINITELY suffered from the heat products I use to straighten it). My hair does not frizz up as much as it did before (I wore my hair out on a drizzly day - which is usually frizz time for my hair - and it maintained its straight look all day, which is incredible). Im not too crazy about the conditioners smell, and the price is a little steep, but all in all I was very happy with the results.posted Feb 27, 2009Link to this post

In AA meetings I have a tendency to focus on the solution of AA , I don't dwell on problems or find excuses for them , I just focus on the program of recovery , the 12 steps , and anything positive I have learnt myself about Alcoholism. The reason for this being - I believe in the solution.
However sometimes when I talk I come across as "Preachy" or " Mr. Know it all" or a person not considerate of other peoples feelings or problems.
I don't mean to , but it just comes out this way . Whether my background in sales might have something to do with it, I'm not sure . I am aware of this sometimes and I try to tone it down as much as I can. But I am who I am
Here is an example , not on 12 steps but the BS people believe about what Alcohol does for them.
" Alcohol gave me courage so that I could go up to a girl in a bar and talk to her , - what a load of crap , Alcohol gave me nothing , if it did give me courage it was false courage, Alcohol doesn't give you anything, all it does is takes away your anxiety and fear by inebriating you , i.e. making you feel less anxiety and fear. Alcohol is a drug , a liquid tranquilizer , same class of drugs as Benzos. It's job is to make you feel less of everything including fear , anxiety , stress and esp. the fear of rejection in this situation.
The fact is you can get real and permanent courage (or confidence which is probably the more correct term) on how to approach women in a bar by getting some training, practice and investing in yourself - e.g buy a book on the subject and read, ask a professional , take care of your physical appearance i.e. wear nice clothes , shave and comb your hair etc and try approaching a girl, sure you will get a few knock backs , but you'll learn from that experience, and after a while you'll get good at it , by knowing what to say etc and hence become confident " , No need for alcohol. "
So here is the question : Am I suffering from Grandiosity or just keeping it simple. Even I am confused.
