Where do you start?
What do you do?
Here is a story that you may relate with and hopefully provide a couple of ah ha moments. About 3 years ago I was speaking at an Internet Marketing Conference in Orlando, Florida. On the front row was a bright eyed enthusiastic young man in his twenties named Rob.
I was one of the first speakers at the event and my topic was "How to Create a $5,000+ Monthly Income with EBay and Online Auctions". I could tell during my presentation that Rob was getting excited about the possibilities of making money with EBay & creating cash flow with online auctions.
When my presentation was over several attendees went to the back of the room to invest in one of my training programs. Rob was the first in line. I discovered later that Rob had invested in my Deluxe $1,500.00 How to make money with EBay package which included 8 hours of 1 on 1 training and coaching along with the DVD's CD's and manual.
I noticed throughout the weekend that Rob invested in 3 or 4 other programs during the seminar. I thought to myself, this is good. He is a newbie and he is going to try to find the right cash generating program for himself. I had the opportunity to visit with Rob briefly towards the end of the weekend, and sure enough he had inherited about $10,000 recently and decided to invest that money into a financial vehicle that would get him out of his dead end job working for the airlines.
I reminded him to contact our office to schedule his first 1-on-1 coaching session and encouraged him that online auctions can be used as a marketing division with whatever business he choose, even if he didn't want to do auctions as a stand alone business. This concept is discussed at http://www.FundedProposals.com.
Six weeks later, I was reviewing my client list and going through some records and I realized that Rob had never called our office to schedule his first one-on-one session which he had already paid for. I rarely do this, but I decided to pick up the phone and check in with Rob.
He told me that he had marked in his day timer to call me that week. He then went on to share with me three or four businesses that he had unsuccessfully tried over the past 6 weeks that had not made him a penny. This was a clue, that this gentleman definitely had unrealistic expectations and I made a mental note to discuss this during our first telephone consulting session, which we had scheduled for a week later.
Over the next 5 weeks Rob and I met on the phone once a week. My goal was to teach him how to make money on EBay and become a full time entrepreneur He got 20 items from his closet and garage on EBay during the first week and sold 16, which is statistically above average.
His second week using some techniques we taught he put $301.00 cash in his pocket. The fourth week almost $500.00 more and he jumped over the $500 mark his 6th week earning $711.00. At this point Rob was well on his way to creating a full time income successfully selling on EBay, and I knew it was just a matter of weeks until he would be able to submit his resignation to the airlines.
His sixth week, he didn't call in for his scheduled training session. I assumed that something had come up and was confident that he would be calling to reschedule. At this point I certainly wasn't going to beg him to continue his "self education".
Three years go buy and I never heard from Rob again, until about 2 ½ weeks ago. The phone rang at our office and my assistant told me there is someone named Rob XXXX on the line. I thought to myself Rob XXXX, I know that name, how do I know that name?
(I use XXXX to protect the guilty, but I will personally be sending him a copy of this article)
I took the call, and as soon as I heard his voice everything came back to me. Rob, what happened to you? I responded. I will never forget his response. "Well you know what the problem is Mr. Calvert, there are just too darn many ways to make money" He went on to tell me that he still had his crummy job at the airlines, and all he had been doing for the past 3 years was basically spinning his wheels, trying one entrepreneur enterprise after another.
He said he made the most progress during the short 6 weeks we spent together learning how to make money on EBay and he was ready to pay me my consulting and coaching fee to get him back on track and his income to $3,500 a month with online auctions so he could quit his job.
I see this epidemic everywhere I go. Would be full time, home based, entrepreneurs that are suffering from information over load. They are a jack of all money making methods and a master of none!
Is this you?
Is this you?
I have to admit, at one time that was me. I became so fascinated with the Internet and the possibilities that I spent hours upon hours studying different systems and implementing few or none of those systems.
Here is what I have discovered.
Choose the strategy & systems very carefully.
You must ask yourself, am I looking for short term or long term cash flow?
Is this a system that I want to run for a long time or short time?
What are the realistic income possibilities for this project? This is a very important question. One of the best quotes I have heard over the years is "You have to say no to a lot of good projects to make certain you have time for the great ones"
Once you decide on a project, you must STAY WITH IT, until you are profitable!
Always remember that the problem is not the project or the system. If other people are making it work, so can you. The real problem is always in the mirror.
The best money you can spend is on one-on-one coaching from a mentor who knows what they are doing. These type of coaches can take years off of your learning curve, and will pay you back 100 times what you invest in their knowledge and expertise.
I personally do consulting with people in three our four niche markets. I also personally pay a coach in another market I am in the process of mastering. I am always amazed that most of the time the people that hire me to coach or consult with them are already full time entrepreneurs earning strong six figure incomes. Yet the newbie will spend $97.00 over and over for the latest eBooks on the newest hot trend and never even consider hiring a coach. Listen, even Tiger Woods needs a coach!
Once you start a project, STAY WITH IT, until it is profitable.
Think BIG! Once you have a project that is working, ask yourself, how can I duplicate this?
I recently had a lady from Utah call me and wanted to hire me to consult with her one on one to teach here how to make money with EBay & get her business started and profitable. She was very discouraged because she had spent the last six months focusing on how to create a website designed to create income from Adsense. After she got her "self education", she built her site in less than 3 hours. She said she had finally figured out the formula after spending almost $2, 0000 on books and courses, but last month she only averaged about $5.00 a day from her sight.
My response, "You don't need me, you need 999 more websites". This ladies problem was she wasn't thinking big enough and she wasn't thinking duplication. I told her after she had 1,000 websites each earning her $5.00 a day ($5,000 a day total) She could call me if she wanted and I could help her get to $5,000 a month in profit with EBay and online auctions. She thanked me for the paradigm shift and hopefully I will never hear from her again until we are speaking together at a seminar somewhere.
Is it time for you to quit spinning your wheels and get focused on exactly what systems and cash generating programs you want to master? A free book entitled The Top 6 Cash flow Systems for 2006 might help you, and you can get your copy at http://www.2006Top6.com.
After you decided, get some coaching, get profitable & duplicate!

At the time of this article I am sitting in the waiting area of the Ft. Lauderdale airport waiting to fly back home to Kentucky. I had the pleasure to be on of six speakers to train at the first ever Super Saturday Event sponsored by TheNetworkMarketing magazine. It was a pleasure to invited by George Madiou to speak at this event with
Max Steingart
Doug Firebaugh
Kathy Robbins
Paula Prichard
andSandy Bodkin This weekend I was reminded again, how all network marketers follow the same path and how truth and the realities of this business eventually become obvious. As I listened to the other speakers do their trainings I was reminded of this over and over. You can't fight the "way it is". You must learn to work with the realities of this business, and not fight it. Our real product is people, and we must all learn how to deal with people to best serve them and protect our time and emotions. There are definitely 3 distinct stages to the business. How you perform in these 3 areas will ultimately determine you success. Stage 1 Personal development. This is an ongoing daily process. One of the first realities network marketing will teach you is that there is a more powerful, optimistic way to look at the world. The reality that with "specialized knowledge and training" you really do have the opportunity to live a life of significance and financial freedom. Self improvement is an ongoing process. For many years of my life I spent 10% of my income on my own personal growth and development. Buying books, training programs and attending seminars is still a large part of my life. "When you are green you grow, when you ripe……YOU ROT!" The second distinct Stage of the Business is mastering lead generation. It is sad how many people I have met over the years that have been involved in this industry a year, two years, and longer who have never mastered how to create leads for their business. The number one mistake made by most MLM distributors is they try to accomplish far too much exposing their product, service and opportunity to far too few people! You must get serious and get your Masters degree in lead generation. If they take you up in an airplane, strap a parachute on you and through you out with a few product brochures and sample, you should be able to have your phone ringing off the hook within 30 days or less. Have you mastered lead generation? If not, when do you plan on doing so? Check out www.LocalMLMLeads.com this course can help you become a Master at lead generation. Stage 3 is mastering distributor training and development. The real money in this business is not made from getting people in the program it comes from keeping them in and moving them forward. I could talk about several different concepts regarding this stage, but let me share with you a couple of ideas regarding. DISTRIBUTOR ACTIVATION
DEFINATE CLOSURE Unfortunately, most distributors operate their business thinking their job ends after they get someone in the business. The reality is that is when your job just begins. You must have a definite game plan for getting people started correctly. You must work closely with new distributors and activate them, jump start them and get them moving forward quickly. The reality is the odds of the person you sponsored being the person you are looking for is slim to none, but the odds of them knowing the right person is extremely high. You need to help new distributors follow up with their top business prospects so you can find the top leader(s) they know for your business. A basic activation plan is to number one; help your distributors establish WHY they are doing the business. Until they know why, the how doesn't matter. Next you want to help them follow up with their top 10 business prospects. Maybe they hand out 10 DVD's and you are own the phone with them when they follow up. It is also a great idea to supply your distributor with a basic "I am in business" letter that they can send to potential product users. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is you must have a distinct plan, a formula if you will to activate all new distributors that join your organization. Not just your front line people, but a simple, duplicatable activation system that can be passed down through your organization. Lastly if someone joins and peaks when they sign the application, you must have DEFINATE CLOSURE with that person. We all know just because a person joins and buys product is no guarantee that they will ever make an effort to get their business off the ground. If you ask someone to establish 20 reasons WHY they are doing the business, and they never get around to it, you must have definite closure with them. You set and appointment to do 3 ways on a specific night to follow up with the DVD's they get in the market place and they never call you, or choose not to get DVD's into the market, you must have definite closure. What do I mean by definite closure? You simply call those people and say John, when you are ready to get serious about your business, you call me and I will be here to support you and help you get started. But I have a team to build and I have to work with people that are ready to work. By having definite closure you will preserve that relationship. Watching others fail, or never attempt was one of the hardest things for me to deal with in the beginning of my career. I eventually got to the point, where it didn't bother me as much as long as I knew that I did everything in my power to help them. Having definite closure when people are not ready to work will remove uncomfortable feelings towards that person in the future, and remove their ability to blame you for not supporting them.
Dale Calvert
http://www.DaleCalvert.com Before I start this article I have a confession to make. I am a book, tape, info-merical and seminar junky. I attend every seminar I possibly can that is within a 3 hour drive. I own courses from Don Lapree, Carlton Sheets, John Beck and every other infomercial guru. All I am looking for is one good idea that I can implement into my existing systems and programs. In 1990 I realized the impact the Internet was going to make on the marketing world and I invested over $50.000.00 attending Internet Marketing seminars all over the world. Now with that confessed………..I had the good fortune to be able to one of the featured speakers at the Network Marketing Magazines first super Saturday training that was held in Ft. Lauderdale a couple of weeks ago. It was an awesome event, with a very receptive and eager to learn crowd. Where were you? About six months ago I was on a website Forum of a very popular MLM Training website. I couldn't believe the ignorance I was reading. There was a group of people bashing generic training seminars. (Some people have all the answers and NO MONEY!) The predominate logic seemed to be, "Our company has two conferences a year, I attend those and that is all I need. What? That is like saying I take 1 bath a week and that is all I need. You have to understand………… LIVES ARE CHANGED AT EVENTS! As Jim Rohn says, the event you miss could have been yours! I can look back over the past 26 years and realize the power, inspiration and focus attending events and seminars has provided me. If I get one good idea, in my opinion it is worth the effort to be there. However there have been 2 distinct events that really did make all the difference for me. I don't have time in this article to give you all the details, but I really believe that if I hadn't attended those 2 events, I wouldn't be writing this article today. I have had the good fortune of seeing hundreds of lives changed at events. Every conference I use to put together with our MLM company we had 1 section that was entitled "National Conference, a Life Changing Event" during this section people would share with the audience how attending a national conference changed their life and put their business on the fast track to success. When you attend a training program with generic speakers, you must understand that the information you get is "purer" than what you will get at a company sponsored event. Think about this. At company sponsored events, you get a "controlled message" you hear and see what the company wants you to hear and see. I am not saying this is bad. However generic trainers will tell you the truth. You will hear not necessarily what you WANT to hear, but more importantly what you NEED to hear. Most company conferences supply you with sugar coated trainings. As a generic trainer I know I can pull out all the stops, challenge your thinking and even get in your face with REALITY if I need to. I have one focus and that is to jolt you, make you think, and make quality decisions about your future, your work ethic, and inspire you to pay the price for success! I have learned that you can say anything to anybody as long as you say it with love in your heart for them! If you have never attended a training event outside of your company, I challenge you to attend a generic seminar and experience the difference. Am I saying generic seminars are better? No I think you should attend every conference your company makes available, however I do believe that the training and inspiration you get from a generic event is more likely to make an immediate positive impact on your business than the same old sugar coating from most corporate national conferences.

It seems prayer still upsets some people. Please read….
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the
Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but
this is what they heard;
"Heavenly Father,
We come before you today
To ask your forgiveness and
To seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
"Woe to those who call evil good"
But that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium
And reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and
Called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness
And called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn
and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists
And called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline
Our children and called it
Building self esteem.
We have abused power
And called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbour's
Possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air
With profanity and
Pornography and called it
Freedom of speech and expression.
We have ridiculed the time
Honoured values of our
Forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God,
And know our hearts today;
Cleanse us from every sin
And set us free.
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked Out
during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is
pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 Of those
calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving
requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio Program, "The
Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any
other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our Nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one
nation under God."
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends "If you
don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone On your
email list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by The world.
How many people in your address book will not receive This
prayer…..do you have the guts to pass it on?
I just did!

The last #MigosMondays drop of 2013 but very certainly not the least is a remix of "Trophies," the Hit-Boy produced victory lap that Drake shared only 16 or so hours ago. Like Drake, Quavo, Offset and TakeOff have enjoyed a momentous year. Nevertheless, here they are looking forward and aiming big: more stripes, Olympic gold medals, Grammys and ceremonies.

Two German banks, KfW IPEX-Bank and Helaba, have jointly closed an European export credit financing facility covering the first Airbus A330-200 aircraft for Air Pacific.
SkyWorks Capital issued the request for proposals on behalf of Air Pacific in late 2012 and the Fijian flag carrier mandated the banks in February.
The aircraft (MSN 1394) was delivered last month.
Under the financing, both banks are jointly arrangers of the facility and co-debt providers. KfW IPEX-Bank is the facility agent.
The aircraft is the first of the three ordered by the airline in October 2011 and covered under the ECA-supported facility. Delivery of the remaining two aircraft are scheduled to take place in May and November, respectively.
The A330s will replace the carrier's two Boeing 747-400s, which will be returned to their lessors by the end of the year.
The aircraft are being delivered in Fiji Airways livery as part of a rebranding in which Air Pacific will assume the new name and visual identity in June.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Sneak Peek: Extreme Couponing Is "Even Better Than Sex" (VIDEO)
What would a trip to the Piggly Wiggly be without a sheaf of coupons?
According to mama June, nowhere near as good as sex.
Alana and her crazy family go grocery shopping/"extreme couponing" in a sneak peek for this Wednesday's episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, and June describes the activity as "even better than sex."
She also assures viewers that couponing is not as mentally taxing as it may appear to be. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to coupon," she says.
Good to know.

Plane Snacks
@gypsykid: three hours plus time to and from the airport could mean 5 hours. A selection of snacks is most certainly a necessity when traveling. Most behavioral problems stem from lack of appropriate foods, protein etc.
@gypsykid: three hours plus time to and from the airport could mean 5 hours. A selection of snacks is most certainly a necessity when traveling. Most behavioral problems stem from lack of appropriate foods, protein etc.
As others have said before me, butter is most definitely your friend. Just keep in mind that all butters are not created equal:
I make noodle kugel often enough and hope to pass it on so that it never becomes extinct. Like debbiek, I must take issue with serving a dairy kugel with brisket. A lovely rich and cheesy kugel like this one, shines alone.
WickedGoodDinner sums it up well. However if you check out recipes on on Heidi Swanson's site:
you will find astoundingly good recipes using a variety of healthy flours.
I have had great success with this recipe which is made of entirely whole wheat flour. True it is denser than a regular scone but mighty tasty nonetheless. I also recommend Whole Foods Brand Whole Wheat Pastry Flour which is definitely lighter than traditional whole wheat flour.
Tea and Sympathy in the West Village has always been my favorite. Cozy and quirky with real British attitude.
Curious to see if you like it. The stuff in jars is not especially tempting!
I second Trappist Raspberry Jam, though I prefer with seeds. The Trader Joe's organic is pretty good too, both raspberry and blueberry.
Funny how people don't read the fine print. Having a nut allergy at Passover is difficult though I agree with the posters who say that giving up your dream of Tarte Tatin would be the way to go. Tarte Tatin does not go with Passover at all.
Why not make these coconut-chocolate chip macaroons (coconut is not usually included with nut allergies but do check to be sure).
Some type of apple crisp with matzoh meal topping might work, or just make David Lebovitz's incredible chocolate-covered matzoh:
You can't go wrong with that!
I make plenty of Seder food so that we have it throughout the week. We gave the usual suspects like Matzoh Ball Soup, Gefilte Fish and Brisket.
As for ordinary food, lunches will be turkey roll-ups with romaine lettuce leaves, omelets, egg salad, smoked fish etc. One thing that I plan to eat more often is Matzoh Pizza which is so simple and delicious:
Each year I make a new discovery as far appropriate Passover dishes so hopefully I'll come up with something new soon.
It is not surprising that most of the naysayers do not have babies or have grown children and have since forgotten the challenges of having young children and a life. Just because one has children does not mean one is destined to only eating at home. Adding a babysitter to an evening out can add a good $50 or $60 to a meal, thereby making it cost prohibitive. And who are you to tell parents what there priorities should be.
I am most astonished by those with young children who don't believe they should be dining out. It does depend on the child and it is up to the parent to determine if and when their child can handle a restaurant-going experience. Yes. Manners do begin at home but a restaurant experience is different and children behave differently in public venues. It is only through repeated exposure can children learn how to behave appropriately. There is a method to getting this to work.
Love to hear that! Where did he come up with the garlic/feta duo? Is that something you typically eat? Or was he being inventive? My five year old just went through a pizza is boring phase, which was going to ruin my easy Friday dinner plans;
I am happy to report that the phase seems to be short-lived. Pizza is coming back into favor. Though I doubt it will have feta on it. I don't even think they offer that at our pizzeria.
Definitely worth the trip, even from Jersey City!
Honey is actually healthy for adults and older children. It makes for an excellent homeopathic cough medicine and also helps prevent allergies.
Also not sure why you can't click on the link to reach the site.. Let me post it again and see if it works here:
Ribster: Thanks.. Hope more people will watch the video. It is truly wonderful to see elementary school students learning about eating well.
We had our freezer give out around the holidays and it was a true disaster read about it here:
Bloody meat everywhere. Not much was salvageable. Most of the items in your freezer will not take well to refreezing..start offering it to friends now or else it will go to waste.
Canned trout
Organic Raspberry and Blueberry Jams
Pop-up Sponges
All Manner of nuts and dried fruits
Have always been a fan of Rainbow but will have to check out Maoz next time. What about Chickpea? Or has it disappeared?
I left out the sugar in a strawberry cheesecake and served it for a friend's birthday, not realizing the error until I tasted it. People still raved that it was good which now leads me to believe that people are just liars or have no taste...
Glad to see that you decided to make it yourself. Which recipe are you going with? If you still need one I have a very basic recipe with red wine and onions.
@Jerzee. That is quite a recipe but I am frightened of cannoli shells. Do you use a deep fryer?
Here are some ideas...We really liked Nice Matin.
Haven't had it but what about Sammy's Roumanian. Why can't you make it? Easy dish to prepare in advance and probably better than what you can buy.
I say brunch can be served from 11-3, which is often when it is served in restaurants. That would work perfectly for your wedding!
I was thrilled to discover that the concept of Real Food is being taught in public schools. Hopefully we are raising a new generation of mindful eaters.
See the wonderful things that kids are learning here and vote!
In New York City, apparently 12 is old enough:
I'm ambivalent:
I am planning to host an election victory party this weekend. Probably a dinner thing. Maybe potluck, not sure. Anyone else doing this? Looking for original ideas. Thanks!
I have cookie tins that I have saved over the years. I usually pack my goodies in those and ask the hostess to return them after the party. Today, however, we are going somewhere and I don't really know the hostess that well. I would feel awkward reqesting my tin back.
I. Do you think it is rude to ask for the tins back?
2. Looking for other innovative ways to pack the goodies (blueberry bars today) with things around the house
We have been invited to a British Christmas celebration and I somehow became responsible for making mince pies, about which I know virtually nothing aside from what I just read in Joy of Cooking and Nigella's Domestic Goddess. Any tips from a pro? More specifically, are currants crucial? Where does one find glaceed cherries or can I substitute dried. Any advice would be much appreciated. What is the hallmark of an excellent mince pie?
I have finally sketched out my menu http://izzyeats.blogspot.com/2007/11/wheres-my-thanksgiving-menu.html but now with so many recipes from which to choose, I just can't decide. Give me your favorite (tried and true) recipes for the following (sans pork, grandpa won't eat it!)
Brussels Sprouts
Sweet Potatoes
Hopefully I will get some sleep tonight!
Every year I face the same dilemma: I have a fairly small oven and I have difficulty keeping everything warm while the turkey is being carved. We almost always sit down to lukewarm food. Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated as my home kitchen lacks a salamander.
Would you rather have four fabulous side dishes or eight pretty good ones? Is it quality or quantity that counts for your menu?
What would you like to see on the Thanksgiving table? Do you expect a special vegetarian main course or are side dishes sufficient?
I used to use one and gave it up a few years ago. Interested to hear what others do.
Check here for my lengthy response:
I think I spend an inordinate amount so I am curious to hear what others spend, specify how many in your family..
How old were you when you first ate falafel? Where did you eat it? I think I was 17 and I ate it at the Olive Tree in NYC but I am not sure..still trying to conjure up the memories.
Do you eat it anyway? Pretend to like it? I am just not a good liar that way...
To me it was one of the quintessential chocolate cakes. Any tips on how I might procure this recipe from the now defunct restaurant?

The Benefits of Steel Garage Doors
People who are investing in their homes and want garage doors to last a lifetime usually opt for steel. They are durable and strong and last longer than timber or aluminium. While people were once slightly put off by the appearance of steel and favored the warm, natural look of timber, modern steel doors are now available with a wooden finish so that last for a long time and appeal to your aesthetic appreciation.
Some of the other advantages of using steel is that it does not crack or warp over time and it cannot be broken apart by the forces of nature either. Steel is pretty impenetrable and steel garage doors do not rust but are said to last the same amount of time as your house. One of the drawbacks to using steel is that it can fade but it's a small concession in light of its other strengths. Another of the disadvantages of having steel garage doors is that if they do get damaged they can be difficult and expensive to repair and you may end up replacing them. But, the chances of it getting damaged are pretty slim or at least smaller than if you were using any other kind of material.
The highest quality steel garage doors are usually insulated with polyurethane foam which means they can keep the garage warm during the winter months and drop the temperature during the summer. The polyurethane also keeps the door lighter weight which means it operates quietly.
Premium quality steel doors are around two inches thick and consist of lots of insulation with a covering of 24-gauge steel. For those who are shopping on a budget and want something a little more cost-effective you can get doors made from 28-gauge steel which will perform better than aluminium but costs less than premium steel. As a general rule the lower the number the higher the quality and the longer you can expect the doors to last.
Steel garage doors are lower maintenance than timber and provide insulation benefits that aluminium cannot emulate. For people who are willing to spend a little extra they do provide more security and reliability than any other kind of material. Of course, as with anything, the higher the quality, the higher the price so you can expect to pay a bit more but, when you consider that they should last you forever, it certainly makes for a sensible investment.

Meanings and attitudes attached to cohabitation in Poland: Qualitative analyses of the slow diffusion of cohabitation among the young generation

|attitude(s), cohabitation, Poland, qualitative data
This study contributes to the understanding of the low level of non-marital cohabitation in Poland at the beginning of the XXI century. We employ an interpretative analysis of semi-structured interviews in order to capture the meanings and attitudes associated to non-marital cohabitation by a selected sample of young Poles.
The results indicate that although cohabitation has begun to be interpreted as a testing period leading to marriage, attitudes towards it are still very ambiguous. The idealization of marital commitment hinders the spread of informal unions. Understanding the determinants of low cohabitation in Poland enables us to advance grounded hypotheses on its evolution in the near future and, more generally, to illustrate the ways in which local cultures influence the diffusion of behaviors.

Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education providing funds for qualifying individuals to save up to $100 of the total GED® test fee of $120
Calhoun Community College announced today that the college has received funding from the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education which will allow qualifying individuals to save up to $100 of the total GED® test fee of $120. Additionally, full waiver of the $24 GED Ready® test fee is available for qualifying individuals. The GED Ready® test is the new name for the shorter length GED® practice test.
According to Chris Miller, Calhoun's director for Adult Education, the GED® Test now consists of four parts; Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. "Each part of the GED® test may now be taken independently, with the test fee for each part of the GED® being $30 or $120 for all four parts," Miller said.
The test fee waiver is $25 per test for qualifying individuals or up to $100 for all four parts. The qualifying test-taker would then be responsible for paying only $5 per test part or $20 total for all four parts.
The GED Ready® practice test also contains the same four parts as the GED® test and each part may also be taken independently. The test fee for each part of the GED Ready® test is $6 or $24 for all four parts. Qualifying individuals may have the entire cost for the practice test waived.
To be eligible for the test waivers, individuals must meet the following requirements:

oh and from the last time i talked to mike he said he was dropping back to 81's in august and i don't plan on ever going back down unless i get sick and drop weight or something. i haven't cut weight like that in over 2 years and there's a good reason for it, it fucking sucks. i look forward to seeing what he'll do, i wouldn't bet against him squatting 1k at 181! the real battle will be between him and Al who i think is due for a huge day. i'd never bet against him either!

Fair enough, and for the record, I never said it was high, I just didn't think that someone would turn down a world record just because they thought the judge gave them a gift. Thanks for the info on Mike too and you are right about it being a nice battle between him and Caslow.

I believe the APF turned down his request though, so that 771 is still the APF Record (and unofficial alltime WR)
However, Soong recognizes the 750 by Fry as the Official All-Time WR.

Live '30 Rock' Episode Goes Off Without a Hitch
So much for worrying about Tracy Morgan -- the '30 Rock' live episodes (one for each coast) went off without a hitch Thursday night, showing just how well-oiled the Emmy-winning machine is. While live primetime programs have over the years seemed clunky or odd, '30 Rock' was spot-on thanks to the cast's stellar live TV and theater pedigree. The roster of former improv champs and ultimate 'Saturday Night Live' host Alec Baldwin led the laughter charge for an episode that felt exactly like '30 Rock,' with the addition of some studio audience laughter and a wink to all things meta -- it was, after all, a live show ('30 Rock') about a live show ('TGS') inspired by a live show ('SNL').
Guest stars Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Rachel Dratch, Bill Hader and Julia Louis-Dreyfus kept things lively for the half-hour installment. Louis-Dreyfus, the erstwhile Elaine of NBC's seminal comedy 'Seinfeld,' performed a pitch-perfect Liz Lemon impersonation, playing Tina Fey's character in a whip-fast flashback. "Why are you better looking in your memory?" Baldwin quipped to Fey.
The jokes remained topical as always, even infusing Brett Favre's recent sext message fiasco and the rescue of the Chilean miners. The episode centered on Baldwin's Jack Donaghy trying sobriety for the first time in 10 years, and Liz flailing for a fitting 40th birthday celebration. Pete informed Liz while copyright expenses made 'Happy Birthday' too expensive to use, "We can use, 'It's Your B-Day B***h,' by Snooki's mom."
Jon Hamm, who plays a hook-handed stud on '30 Rock,' guest-starred in a faux advertisement, gravely saying: "Thanks to an idea that started as a pitch for a horror movie and grew into a charitable organization, Hands for Executed Criminals are now making life better for people all over the world," Hamm said. "People like ... me."
The evening ended in a very 'Saturday Night Live' fashion, with the cast taking the stage and thanking everyone as the credits rolled. Tina Fey, the first female head writer at 'Saturday Night Live,' directly thanked "the 'SNL' crew."
Those handy-dandy geniuses at Vulture stayed up all night compiling a list of the 17 differences between the East and West Coast performances. Most changes were deliberate dialogue or gag switch-ups, although Tracy Morgan broke character a bit and Jane Krakowski semi-flubbed a line on the West Coast feed. And Jon Hamm's bit included the verb "frankensteining" the second time around. See the complete West Coast episode:
In a recent interview with PopEater, Jane Krakowski teased the Tracy Morgan-ness of the live '30 Rock.' See the clip:

Tracy Morgan is a very over-rated a-hole. He is an unfunny jerk and I have never understood why everyone laughs at this guys nasty behavior.

I watched it "Live" on the east coast and it was AWESOME!!!! Easily the FUNNIEST episode of 30 Rock yet and they did an OUTSTANDING job!!!

My husband and I watched this together and we could hardly hear the tv at times because we were laughing so hard.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy donbro2
wow.i did the same thing.it was real funny.but then i switched over to msnbc and it made me feel very sad that during the mining rescue they kept switching over to other very bios stories.rachel maddow was on her usual gay agenda and chris matthews was busy spouting hate at sarah palin..what the heck does he have a crush on her or something.anyway i switched over to fox new where they covered the rescue all the way..great news cast....impeach obama...p.s. obama is taking money from china to fund his socialist/marxist agenda...peace.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy kbrown2225
Wow another idiot speaks, uh the conversation was about 30 Rock's live broadcast not your paranoid delusional fantasies and homophobic tendencies.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy Mitchell
30 Rock is my favorite TV show...one of my top favorites of all time. Unfortunately, the live episode reduced my level of appreciation. The actors seemed strident (??) as they attempted to get it right first take. The camera work was choppy and seemed to be distracting to the actors, as it was to me. Turned the TV off 10 minutes into the show. Sorry.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy rhamil1066
I was really looking forward to it. But it just wasn't funny. Period.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy abc
Years ago many television shows were broadcast live, including soap operas. Those shows went off without a hitch.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy donbro2
i am really tired of people going off topic...what in the world does that statement have to do with how obama is really screwing this country up...keep on the topic PLEASE!!!!!!impeach obama..
- Friday 15 OctoberBy Debra S.
Like Mitchell, my response to the live show was not as glowing as the review. The camera work was choppy, the actors for the most part were bad-, over- or hyper-acting, and it had the feel of a high school play. It needed the extra guest "stars" to provide interest and distraction from the bad production values. Nothing wrong with a little bit of experimentation, but this experiment failed. Go back to the regular format.
- Friday 15 OctoberBy DAN
- Friday 15 OctoberBy ml
boring as usual
- Friday 15 OctoberBy Tomohawk
I have to agree. The "live" episode was off, the humor--equally so. It was like watching a real bad Saturday Night Live sketch. The overly bright video quality typical of 80s television was also noticeable. Don't know what show everyone else is referring to; it was HARDLY hilarious. I thought the writing, overall, was lame!
- Friday 15 OctoberBy Red
ER did a live show once and that was an hour drama show without a hitch. Live tv was all the time when I was growing up. It's no big deal and who cares about 30 Rock, stupid unfunny show anyway. Making a big deal about absolutely nothing which is what this show is nothing!

The Hitman series of games has been delivering violent action and rewards for those who can be the stealthiest for years. Its become a fan favorite; some players just enjoy getting through the levels any way they can, while others must master each level and achieve the "Silent Assassin" rating. The developers at IO Interactive have been working hard to increase the fun for both types of players, and as a result Hitman: Blood Money is quite possibly the best game in the series.
Blood Money has Agent 47, the worlds deadliest assassin, taking on a series of increasingly difficult and complex missions that will require him to kill one or more specific targets, and possibly complete some additional objective. The player has to choose how to complete these objectives, and while each level is not terribly massive, the developers have given you enough of an open-ended style that this game will really reward those who will keep trying out new ways to kill people. Youll have several choices for killing each of your targets, and some will raise the notice of local security or law enforcement while others may not. While 47s got a nice complement of both melee and ranged weapons (either of which can be used at any time in first- or third-person view), some hardcore Hitman players are of the opinion that a true assassin makes every kill look like an accident. And you can go a long way to doing that in this game; you can push people off balconies, drop something heavy like a chandelier onto their heads Phantom of the Opera style, or poison their drink so that they just keel over thirty seconds after youve left the room.
This game is actually quite violent, and those who play Hitman: Blood Money are going to have to ask themselves early on whether the fun of killing those security personnel in a huge gun battle is more rewarding than sneaking past them all and just taking out the target. Ive tried both methods in past Hitman games, but I had always found that the bloodbath method turned out to be not near as much fun as the stealth way. Well, this is the first Hitman game Ive played so far where either method is really a whole lot of fun. With the new ability to take a hostage as a human shield, IO Interactive has reinforced the gunfight method, but they still will only reward the players who leave no trace, no witnesses, and only the minimum number of dead bodies required to finish the job. And by leaving no trace, they really mean it this time: make sure you leave the mission in your original outfit along with all the custom weapons you brought, because on higher difficulties failing to do so can incur some tough penalties for later.
The environments in Blood Money are better than ever. From a Paris opera house, to a casino in Las Vegas, to a riverboat on the Mississippi River, youll find a wonderful mix of atmospheres in this game. If those arent enough, then theres the well-guarded complex down in South America, an abandoned amusement park, and even a mission right in the middle of Mardi Gras (complete with hundreds of people partying and walking around in the streets). The special effects have been turned up as well, and while you can turn them off on slower computers, youll be treated to a very visually impressive game if your PC has the horsepower to manage all of it at high resolution. I was very impressed by the games great support for the newest technologies, yet the minimum requirements are low the whole thing scales very well for a huge range of computers.
But lets get back to the whole hitman thing. One thing I noticed here is that unlike many games, sneaking is not nearly as important as you might expect in a stealth game. Sure, sneaking behind one guy alone in a room will allow you to get behind him without alerting him, but the only way youll be able to go around undetected in outdoor or well-lit places will come through other means. Your ability to avoid detection - which is not required to beat a level but will be required for a high rating depends mostly on studying the movements of security or law enforcement personnel and simply not being in the room with them. Finding an outfit that lets you blind in will also get you pretty far, but in some cases you might be forced to knock someone out to do so. Just try not to stand too close to anybody for too long while youre in disguise, because someone will eventually realize that you dont belong to the security force or that construction crew.
So what gives this game the Blood Money name? Simply put, money. Now, each mission comes with a monetary reward which you can use to beef up your main weapons and keep your heat down. Efficient killing earns you more money, but the problem is that the more efficient you are, the less youll actually need the money anyway. Why upgrade your sniper rifle when youre making every kill look like an accident? Still, upgraded guns are fun to screw around with anyway. Along with the weapons you can find and basically unlock during the levels, your main arsenal the signature silverballer pistols, shotgun, submachine gun, M4 assault rifle, and sniper rifle also can be upgraded with the cash youre paid for each mission. And this has a huge effect; by the time youre done, your basic silverballer pistol becomes a pair of silenced, fully automatic death machines with laser sights and even scopes. Ok, it might sound goofy, but its a blast to use if you just feel like going on a rampage in any of the games many levels where the kill count can rack up into the dozens or more. And when youre playing on the harder difficulty levels youre going to need to use your cash to bribe the locals into secrecy. If you dont, youll find yourself pretty much screwed in later levels when your face gets plastered all over the newspapers.
The narrative is actually told in a flashback style, similar to what was seen in the last Hitman game where 47 was having his life flash in front of his eyes. Here, 47 starts out actually dead yes, dead as the introductory view of 47 has him laid out in an open-casket funeral. Youll learn how 47 met his demise and who it was that managed to catch him, and while those who havent played the previous Hitman games will probably feel a little left in the dark when it comes to the plot, they will still fully enjoy the games intensely satisfying ending. That is, if they have the presence of mind to actually find it, which I did not on my first play through.
The difficulty levels must also be mentioned. There are four levels to pick from, and they all play out quite differently. Only the Rookie level allows you to save as often as you want, while the next three reduce your number of total saves down to zero. Id consider this a problem, except that each mission really will only take you maybe fifteen minutes or less to either finish successfully or get caught, and until you do finish successfully, youre really just doing research and figuring out how to do it without getting caught. Expert players have already figured out how to finish each mission on the highest difficulty with the highest score possible in less than ten minutes (some are getting times down to three minutes or less), so the lack of ability to save on Pro difficulty isnt that much of an issue for those who like to play at that level. AI also gets more attentive and less forgiving as you turn up the difficulty, and intelligence on locations for guards and civilians will become unavailable as well. Finally, your notoriety can start biting you in the ass on higher difficulty levels, so you might have to spend your money on bribes rather than cool upgrades for your gear.
Hitman: Blood Money brings together many of the best elements from the series, gives the game a wonderful, updated look, and gives those who want to get that Silent Assassin rating plenty of stealth-based puzzles to figure out. Those who just want to turn this game into a low-difficulty bloodbath arent going to be nearly as impressed with this game as they might expect, but I highly recommend that players do try to dig deeper and enjoy the game the way the developers want you to. Play it like two games; one as a murderous psychopath, and one as an efficient killer who leaves no trace and no extraneous bodies. If you can play Blood Money both ways, youll find its almost like two completely different games altogether. Either way, this game is easily one of the best of 2006 so far.

Northern Irish artist Anthony Haughey is marking the 20th anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacres with a film about the conflicting ideologies and contested views of history surrounding the killings.
After the Netherlands was found guilty of failing to prevent his father and brother's killings in 1995, a Srebrenica survivor wants Dutch commanders who were supposed to protect them to be prosecuted.
A new book, 'Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide', examines the devastating impact that the 1995 massacres had on Bosnian society as well as the people who lived through it.
As Bosnians the world over mark the anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, survivors deserve to know why so many Bosnian Serb fighters involved in the slaughter have since found sanctuary in America.
As the 19th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacres is commemorated, 30 Bosnian Serbs have so far been jailed for a total of 568 years for genocide and other crimes in July 1995.
Some of the women who were raped by Bosnian Serb soldiers at the time of the Srebrenica massacres in July 1995 have found the courage to conquer their fears and speak out.
Srebrenica victims' families are awaiting a landmark judgement in their lawsuit against the Netherlands over accusations that Dutch peacekeepers failed to prevent their relatives' deaths in 1995.
Hasan Hasanovic recalls his near-death experience escaping from Srebrenica, when he managed to evade the mass killings but never saw his father or brother again.
The Hague Tribunal seems reluctant to return the possessions of massacre victims to their relatives in Bosnia, causing some to seek the prosecution of the UN court's former prosecutor.
By the 18th anniversary of the Srebrenica atrocities in July 1995, the Hague Tribunal and Bosnia's state court had convicted a total 27 people for their involvement in the killings.
Six members of unit believed to have killed around 800 people from Srebrenica in 1995 have been jailed so far to 157 years.
In four years working as a forensic anthropologist, Esma Alicehajic has taken part in dozens of Srebrenica exhumations, and says she never allows herself to feel emotional while working on a mass grave.
Verdicts on seven members say VRS brigade played key role in slaughter after fall of Srebrenica - executing victims and transporting the bodies to mass graves.
Hague verdicts hold High Command under Ratko Mladic most responsible for the carnage in Srebrenica, along with active participation of Bosian Serb army's Drina Corps.
Sehida Abdurahmanovic recalls the fate of her extended family following the fall of Srebrenica, when the slaughter of men at the hands of the Bosnian Serb army began.

Oh, my achin' eldertaters...
I'm blushing. Irish as can be, with freckles and even an apostrophe in my name. But I'm a tater ignoramus. A while ago, I went back to school, left the family back home to cope. Bought some regular old Russet potatoes and stuck them in a hall closet, right above the vacuum. Not very good at cooking for just myself, I finally remembered them, baked and ate them months later. They were so, so good - I was shocked. I caught on - aged potatoes were good. But what types? How long to hold them before cooking? Does it make a difference in the flavor even when they're mashed, scalloped, fried, etc.? What's a good way to store potatoes so they don't sprout, and instead become the epitome of potato-eyness? Are there potato connoisseurs out there who can share a recipe using carefully aged potatoes to showcase that great taste? Figure my ancestors knew all about potato aging and carefully rolled each one over in its little wooden box every morning, maybe even talked to them encouragingly. I just bought 10 lbs of new potatoes at the farmer's market, and I'm ready to baby them into distinguished elderhood.

I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for amazing mothers.
Grace, my biological mother, brought me to this world 9 years ago. My first home was a horrible puppy mill where Grace, my grandmother Millie (may she rest in peace), and I were treated as breeding machines. I almost didn't make it out of there because I wasn't fit to live due to my deformed elbows. Who would want a damaged product? Despite the harsh treatment from the breeders, mom was always there for me, giving me love and showing me faith. Thank you, Grace, for teaching me how to be a survivor. I'm happy that, like me, you found your forever home with the Whitaker family in Kansas. Happy Mother's Day, Grace!
I hadn't met a lot of nice humans during the first months of my life. When I finally left the puppy mill, I moved in with the Bly family for the following eight months. I had many health issues and setbacks, but my foster mother, Chris, had hope I'd find the happiness I deserved. The Kansas-based Mid-America Basset Rescue was my temporary home during a crucial time and I thank them for the love and support they provided. Happy Mother's Day, Chris!
I found my forever home with CAPS President Deborah Howard shortly after I left my foster family. Besides working hard to shut down puppy mills and teach the public about the terrible conditions in these commercial breeding facilities, Mother works even harder to give her kids (human, feline, and canine alike) a loving and nurturing home. She's been there for me through countless veterinary offices and physical therapy sessions, rooting for my wellbeing despite the long list of health issues. She's helped me fulfill my dream of being famous by making me CAPS' spokesmodel. Who else but a loving mother would hand out my business cards and call television show producers to keep a girl like me happy? The answer is simple: Deborah Howard. Thank you, Mother, for all you do and Happy Mother's Day!
I would also like to wish a wonderful and blessed day to all the amazing moms helping CAPS fight puppy mills and spreading the word to make me a celebrity. I wouldn't be where I am today without women like you! Happy Mother's Day!

Clinton to testify on Libya assault Jan. 22
Posted: January 8, 2013 at 1:24 p.m.
WASHINGTON The top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will testify on the deadly Sept. 11 assault in Libya on Jan. 22.
That's the day after President Barack Obama's inauguration and the first day the Senate returns to Washington after a two-week break. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee disclosed the date in an interview on MSNBC. There was no official word from the committee.
Clinton had been scheduled to testify last month but fell during an illness and suffered a concussion. She was recently hospitalized for a blood clot.
Clinton returned to work on Monday. She had promised to appear before the Senate and House foreign affairs panels before stepping down from her job. Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry to replace her.

Charter Award 2006 Winners Set High Mark
CNU Announces 2006 Charter Award Honorees: Seventeen Projects Set High Mark for Urban Design and Development
Chicago – April 4, 2005 – After reviewing more than 160 submission for how well they embody and advance the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism, a jury of accomplished urbanists has selected 17 projects for New Urbanism's highest honor, recognition as Charter Award winners.
The 17 projects are diverse both in location and type –- hailing from three continents and taking forms such as affordable housing, transit-oriented development, high-density infill plans, wilderness preservation, freeway-taming strategies, and new town development. In architectural expression, they range from Carolina low-country vernacular to contextual modernism. Yet despite these differences, the projects share a common commitment to first-rate placemaking and the community-strengthening principles of the Charter.
In a year when new urbanist charrettes and follow-up efforts are bringing hope for renewal to Gulf Coast areas destroyed by hurricanes, this year's Charter Awards honorees use design excellence and the principles of the Charter to improve other challenging contexts, including:
• The threatened farmland outside Paris, where an elegantly designed, compact new town on the TGV line is helping the French government implement a managed growth strategy (Cooper Robertson and Partners).
• An economically declining small town on Virginia's Eastern Shore where new low-cost homes on an extension of the town fabric shelter 52 households and a community farm creates new economic opportunities (Cox, RBGC Architecture, Research and Urbanism).
• The sprawling 8000+ acres of the US Army's Fort Belvoir, where twelve walkable urban villages are reinventing military housing at the base and creating a new spirit of community for military families (Torti Gallas and Partners).
• Vancouver's high-intensity downtown, where towers have proliferated as street life has grown more lively and humane under the guidance of a central area plan featuring a "Living First" strategy (City of Vancouver).
• The outskirts of Cabinda, Angola where a town plan replaces haphazard growth with a livable town while preserving coveted forests (Gary White and Associates).
• Formerly abandoned, graffiti-strewn space in downtown Columbus, OH, now reconnected to the city by a modern-day Ponte Vecchio, a retail bridge crossing I-670 (Meleca Architecture).
• Fourteen acres near the heart of Tucson where culturally and environmentally sensitive infill development is knitting the downtown together again after ill-fated urban renewal efforts swept away previous generations of urban fabric (Moule Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists).
• The automobile-oriented core of the model suburban community of Columbia, MD, which will finally become the vibrant town center town founders had hoped for thanks to a master plan calling for higher densities, small urban blocks, and public spaces (Design Collective).
• The downtown and jewelry district of Providence, RI, now severed by an interstate freeway, but soon to be joined under a plan that re-routes the freeway, reconnects urban fabric, and promotes infill development that strengthens the city's relationship to its waterfront (Sasaki Associates).
Other honored projects include Boston's Newest Smart Growth Corridor (Goody, Clancy and Associates), Crewkerne-Easthams Architectural and Design Code (Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment), Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza Revitalization (Torti Gallas and Partners), Historic Front Street (Cook + Fox Architects), the Village at Palmetto Bluff (Historical Concepts),Mission Meridian (Moule Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists), and Arnhem City Center (Robert A.M. Stern Architects). An award in the student/faculty category went to the University of Maryland for Hatchett Point in Old Lyme, Conn. and an honorable mention went to the University of Miami for its hurricane-relief housing submission, Mississippi Mobile Homes. Learn more about this year's winners.
On behalf of CNU and its board of directors, CNU President John Norquist congratulated all 2006 honorees for their impressive achievements. "Many, many project teams set out to create projects that live up to the principles of the Charter, but very few actually achieve that standard," said Norquist. "The Charter stands as both a tough challenge and a potentially valuable promise. For those who commit to excellence and achieve it, the benefits are enduring places and stronger communities."
The winners are awarded in three categories reflecting the three scales of the Charter of the New Urbanism. They will receive their awards at a lunchtime ceremony in Providence, RI on Friday, June 2 during Fourteenth Congress for the New Urbanism, which runs from June 1-4.
The 2006 Charter Awards Jury is:
Dhiru Thadani, Jury Chair, Principal, Ayers/Saint/Gross, Architects + Urban Planners
Peter Calthorpe, Principal, Calthorpe Associates
Rick Chellman, Principal, TND Engineering
Peter Hetzel, Principal, Peter Hetzel Architecture + Urbanism
Linda Keane, AIA, Architect and Urban Planner, STUDIO 1032, and Faculty, School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Léon Krier, Architect and Urban Planner
Barbara Littenberg, Partner, Peterson/Littenberg Architecture and Urban Design
Susan Parham, Chair, Council for European Urbanism, and Director, CAG Consultants
Carroll William Westfall, Frank Montana Professor, University of Notre Dame
Todd Zimmerman, Co-Managing Director, Zimmerman/Volk Associates, Inc.
CNU is the leading organization advancing walkable, human-scaled neighborhood development as the building block of well-defined cities and towns.The Charter Awards program is CNU's main vehicle for recognizing work that best embodies and advances the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism, defines the essential principles of New Urbanism and the qualities of coherent places from the scale of the region to the block and building.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, November 28, 7:15 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Littlejohn Coliseum (10,000) -- Clemson, South Carolina. Television: ESPN U. Home Record: Purdue 2-1, Clemson 1-0. Away Record: Purdue 0-0, Clemson 1-0. Neutral Record: Purdue 0-2, Clemson 2-1. Conference Record: Purdue 0-0, Clemson 0-0. Series Record: Clemson leads, 3-1.
GAME NOTES: The Clemson Tigers are set to return home to Littlejohn Coliseum on Wednesday to host the Purdue Boilermakers for this season's edition of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Purdue will be looking to get back to .500 as its 66-40 win over UNC Wilmington on Nov. 21 brought its record up to 2-3. The Boilermakers began the post Robbie Hummel era with a five-point loss to the Patriot League's Bucknell Bison at home. They rebounded with a 29-point rout of Hofstra, but lost to Villanova (89-81 OT) and Oregon State (66-58) in their two games that were part of the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden. Coach Matt Painter, who has led the team to wins in its last two ACC/Big Ten Challenge games, now aims for the first winning streak of the season. Purdue's biggest strength is its rebounding ability, as it comes in with a +9.8 average margin on the boards.
Coach Brad Brownell's team has had a much more pleasant beginning to the season. Clemson improved to 4-1 on Sunday with a 59-44 decision over Marist in the Old Spice Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It began the event with an eight-point loss to a nationally-ranked Gonzaga team, but the Bulldogs finished with a season-low of 57 points in the contest. The Tigers recovered with a 21-point triumph over Texas-El Paso. They also coasted to easy wins over Presbyterian and Furman prior to the event. As exhibited in their loss to Gonzaga, Clemson is a very feisty team on the defensive end. They are ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense with a low allowed average of 49.6 ppg.
This will be the fifth meeting between these schools on the hardwood. Clemson owns a 3-1 edge in the all-time series after its 61-58 victory the last time it faced Purdue, which was during the 2007-08 season.
The Boilermakers appeared to be back on track their last time out with a decent performance on the offensive end of the court and a stifling performance on the defensive side versus UNCW. Purdue shot 42.9 percent from the field, but added 20 supplemental points at the charity stripe. It also held UNCW to just 32.6 percent shooting in secure the 26-point decision. Painter's squad also held a decisive 40-24 edge in the rebounding battle in the contest. Guard Terone Johnson led the way with 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field, including makes on all three of his attempts from distance. Johnson is averaging a team-high 11 ppg while D.J. Byrd closely trails with 10.8 ppg. The starting five has resembled a game of musical chairs with not one player appearing in all five contests. However, Purdue has plenty of depth with 10 players averaging at least 10 minutes per bout.
Clemson has held each of its first five opponents under 60 points, a feat the program had not accomplished since the 1997-98 season. Their last time out, the Tigers were able to tame the Red Foxes by holding them to 34 percent field goal shooting. They also held a decisive 40-26 advantage in the rebounding battle and scored 10 points in the second half off of turnovers. Devin Booker led the charge by notching a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards. Freshman guard Adonis Filler appears to be grasping the collegiate game early on in his career after scoring in double figures in all three tournament games. Milton Jennings is leading the team with 10.8 ppg while K.J. Daniels and Booker are tied for second with 10.4 ppg each. Clemson does not attempt many 3-pointers (14.2 per contest), but it has made 40.8 percent of its shots from long range.
Both these teams are very good at securing rebounds and shutting down the opposition. However, Purdue has been unable to produce on the offensive end with as much efficiency. If Filler continues to fill it up, the Tigers are going to be very tough for anyone to beat, especially on their home floor.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Clemson 64, Purdue 57

Does your company look like and operate like a MLM Franchise?
Technology and the internet have made it easy to start your own network marketing company today.
The simple fact is that inexpensive web based MLM software was not readily available a decade ago like it is today.
Years ago you needed large call centers and customer support agents, but today most of all distributors join and place their orders online.
Therefore, this has opened the door for a lot of people to start their own company on a shoestring budget in comparison to what it used to cost.
There are also more product manufacturing companies that are willing to provide private label options for small quantity orders.
Because of the influx of new companies, it has been harder to keep your organizations together and focused on building one company. Continue reading

Pulvinar movement is caused by changes in turgor pressure leading to a contraction or expansion of the parenchyma tissue. The response is initiated when sucrose is unloaded from the phloem into the apoplast. The increased sugar concentration in the apoplast decreases the water potential and triggers the efflux of potassium ions from the surrounding cells. This is followed by an efflux of water resulting in a sudden change of turgor pressure in the cells of the pulvinus. The process is similar to the mechanism of stomatal closure.
Common examples for pulvinar movements include the night closure movement of legume leaves and the touch response of the sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica). Nyctinastic movements (sleep movements) are controlled by the circadian clock and light signal transduction through phytochrome. Thigmonastic movements (touch response) appear to be regulated through electrical and chemical signal transduction spreading the stimulus throughout the plant.
