As you recover from your well-earned hangovers, take an inside look at how some of your favorite stars from VH1 kicked off the New Year. Some kept it nice and simple — opting for family time, nice dinners at home and the like. Others were in complete party mode — bottles, booze, booze in bottles, and from the looks of some of them, a nice lil' twerk to the ground. Yes, I still use twerk. I've been doing so for 20 years and Miley Cyrus isn't taking that away from me.
In any event, check 'em out, check 'em out! And of course, may your 2014 be filled with love, hip hop, couples with therapy, basketball and wives, T.I. and the family hustle, and everything else up on the network lineup. Happy New Year!

"You're Dave Bish"
The more I write online the more I reveal of myself. The more I preach the more people presume to know who I am but don't actually know me at all. Last week I was preaching Titus to some Cell Leaders, explaining the way Titus was to minister with sound doctrine and sound lifestyle to model gospel living. I wondered how much people really see my life. How much do I invest everything in the work I'm doing? Am I a mere professional some of the time? Do people see my faults and my gifts? Do they see my failings and my successes, and how I deal with both of those kinds of situations.
I might spend every day doing gospel ministry but it cannot be mere professional ministry. Gospel work is about God and it is about people. Being detached can't really be an option. It hurts more to give everything, but who ever said it wouldn't?

Interesting thought (incidentally, I know Pod). Do you feel that people classify you into a box because of what you've written on your site sometimes? "Oh, Dave Bish is a Westward-facing, triple-jumping mauve evangelical of the turnip-eating variety" etc... just something i'd considered when trying to explain to my parents who are Catholic that I - as a charismatic (Little C) evangelical - don't really like to think about denominations too much as otherwise I get put in a box before people get to know me.ReplyDelete
Do you sometimes feel as if you're a professional Christian? Occasionally just need to detach, get out there are do the stuff that God teaches us to through the Bible?
Yeah I know what you mean Anonymous (who are you?). I used to worry about being boxed but the more I think about it I write true to my convictions which means I care less about what people make of me... but it is a bit of an odd one! Charismatic? Conservative? Piper-fan? Evangelical? Reformed? Biblical? Christian?ReplyDelete
Can often feel like a pro-Christian, purely cos it's my job to do Christian stuff.... easy to see that as something to take for granted rather than a massive blessing and priviledge, which is what it really is! Like you say, the response is to get out there and do the stuff.

Below is the poem entitled Time which was written by poet
Stride. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Henry Stride
Time is fair and forgiving,
An equal opportunity employer,
A carefully balanced scale of hours, minutes and seconds,
In which days can be wasted and weeks recovered.
Time is an entity scientists cannot adjust,
A plaything the rich cannot afford,
A reward the poor cannot attain,
So how did it come to be that time is in fact what we spend?
Time is all-pervading, a vortex of imprisonment,
Time is the persevering beat of the drum,
Time pounds inevitably on the door of life,
Time is the birth, the living and the death.

In AutoCAD 2011: Tips, Tricks, and Industry Secrets, Jeff Bartels shows AutoCAD users how to become more efficient power users, reducing the amount of time it takes to accomplish a task, increasing profit margins, and strengthening marketplace competitiveness. The course covers everything from shortcuts used in geometry creation, to program customization, to real world solutions to common problems. Interface customization, block and reference management skills, and express tool usage are also covered. Exercise files are included with the course.
AutoCAD does a great job automating lettered and numbered lists. Even so, there is a possibility when editing a list that it might get out of sequence. In this lesson we are going to learn how to revise the order of an automated list. On my screen I have an example of some general notes. As you can see, we have a numbered list with some lettered lists nested inside. Let's start by removing point number two. Maybe I'd like to have these two lettered lists under the same heading. To do that I'm going to double-click to bring up the Text Editor and then I will drag across this text.
I'll press Backspace and then I'll press Backspace a couple more times to clean up the spacing. Now notice that AutoCAD did a nice job renumbering these items. However, my lettered list is out of sequence. ABC is good, but the rest of this has to change. To correct the list, I'm going to click, hold, and drag all of the items that I'd like to fix. I'll right-click and under Bullets and Lists, I'll select Continue. As you can see, AutoCAD continues my list starting with the next letter after C.
When I'm finished, I'll click the X to close the Text Editor. Now let's say I'd like to restore point number 2. Once again I'll double-click my text, I'm going to click after point C, and I'll press Enter. Of course, AutoCAD thinks I'm adding to the lettered list. Now I don't want to do that, so I'll press Backspace to take that away. I am going to type 2 period. and then the tab key so that AutoCAD knows that this is part of a numbered list. I'll type UTILITY COORDINATION, and I'll press Enter.
Notice AutoCAD formats the margins properly. However, I do have an extra number now. I am going to press Backspace to take that away. I'll backspace one more time. Let's fix a couple of other formatting issues. I am going to click-hold-and-drag across this point and I would like to underline this, and I'd like to change its Text Type to 0.1, so it matches the other numbered items. Let's do one more thing. I'm going to click after note C and I'll hold my Shift key and press Enter to add a blank space.
All right, once again my lettered list is out of sequence. To correct this I'm going to click-hold-and- drag to select all of these lettered items. I'll right-click and in Bullets and Lists I'll select Restart. When I'm finished, I'll click the X to close the Text Editor. Now notice we have one more issue. With all of my editing, my numbered list has gotten out of sequence. I am going to double- click to bring up the Editor. If I click hold and drag to the left, notice that I can't get access to this number. That's because the number is being generated automatically.
Unfortunately, it's also wrong. To correct this, I'm going to right- click and under Bullets and Lists I'm going to come down and remove the check next to allow bullets and Lists, and I'll click Continue. This essentially turns the list feature off and now I have access to any of these text items. So I am going to manually change this to a three and then I'll right-click. I'll go back to the menu and I'll turn the Bullets and Lists feature back on, and I'll click Continue.
As you can see, my number is fixed and if I was to click after this point and press Enter, notice AutoCAD picks up with the number four. I am going to click Backspace to remove the 4 and the extra space and when I am finished I'll click the X to close the Editor. So, even though our lists in AutoCAD are completely automated, there is a chance that they might get out of order. If so, AutoCAD allows us to continue, restart, or manually edit a list to suit any need.

27" imac question
I have a 27" imac @ home, about 1 year old. I had to bring it in b/c its stopped turning on. Turns out the power supply/logic board & many other things were all done. They replaced it all & the "bill" was over $1800. thankfully it was still on warranty. But a month or so after i got it back, I noticed gray blotches all over the edges of my screen. They seem to be on the inside, so I can clean it. This happen to anyone else? is there a cheap fix for this since it is no longer on warranty?
Hopefully when the Apple folks fixed up the insides nothing damaged the screen..but I haven't seen that on my iMac..but then I also haven't opened it up..
If you didn't purchase the extended AppleCare to get 3 years of warranty and if it's a real issue, you're probably out of luck..
You might want to take it back to the Apple store just incase they will cover it since it was just in for service. As for taking the glass off to clean the inside, it is possible, but not easy.
You need to get some big suction cups to put on the glass and then carefully, VERY CAREFULLY pull straight up out of the frame. You do not want the glass catch on the edges and possible chip or crack. The glass is held on by strong magnets, so it won't come off easy. Once it's off you can clean the glass, make sure it is dry before you put it back on.
The grey blotches are a reasonably common thing, have a quick google around and you'll see just how common.
I had the problem on mine. The 'genius' insisted it was caused by condensation. As the fault occurs withing the build of the sealed LCD panel it's far more likely to be a manufacturing fault. But the LCD panel was changed under the warranty so I didn't argue.
You can try cleaning the front panel. It's poly-carbonate rather than glass and is flexible. A suction cup takes it off no problem. Have a look at iFixit if you want to try it.
thanks guys, I did see it was a pretty common problem, but no1 had a fix for it. I will check out @ iFixit.

Showing off vacation highlights or making a music video with a professional touch is just a few keystrokes away with Premiere Elements 7. In Premiere Elements 7 Essential Training, Jeff Sengstack, Adobe Certified Expert in Premiere Pro, breaks down the editing workflow into bite–sized pieces, about everything from setting up a project to exporting the final video to any format. In between, Jeff covers the basics of editing as well as advanced features like picture–in–picture overlays and dazzling visual effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
A typical video project might have dozens of video and audio clips and imaging graphics files. So you need some way to keep track of all those things. Well, Premiere Elements has two organizational tools. The Organize View and the Project View. Now I think the Organize View has several unnecessary features that are more worth than they are worth. So I won't go into detail about that. But on the other hand the Project View, the direct connection to your media assets, warrants closer inspection. I created 03 project for this tutorial. It opens up like this but in fact there are several video clips already into this project. Just click on the Edit Task button.
You see them under the Project Task view. Clips inside this view have names and icons, and you can arrange them alphabetically by clicking up here. They also have some characteristics and you can see those characteristics by sliding over to the right. Of particular interest is that they are a certain duration. Also there is a distinction that you need to see here. There are some clips called Movies and some clips called Videos. Videos are video files without audio. Movies are video files with audio. You can also see that you have audio files and still images and still images can be, let's say, photographs or title slides that you can use in your project. There is also a couple cool little things that go on inside the project view that you might want to see.
If you add a clip to your story by dragging it down to the Timeline for example, it puts a little check mark there saying you have used that. There is no rule that says you can't use a clip twice but at least that indicates that you've used something. If you use it twice and drag it down there again for example and slide over a little bit you'll see that video usage is 2. You might want to see your Duration or the Video Usage more readily than sliding it over like this. So you can rearrange these guys by dragging it over, noticing that you get the little blue line indicating that you've placed it in a new place.
We'll take the duration and drag it over one more spot, like that. And if you want to see the Video Usage you can do the same thing and drag it over as well and get a quicker view. One of the benefits of working in this Project View is that you might want to organize your clips in folders so you can access them and find them more easily. The way you create a folder simply by clicking this little button down here and typing in a new name for it. So for example I'll put in Horse. Now I want to put all the horse clips inside that folder. I select them by clicking on the first one and then Shift+Clicking on the last one. I could have Ctrl+Click, I could have clicked on one and then Ctrl+ Click on other ones as well.
That's how you select multiple clips. Now I drag the group of five down to the bottom where I created that new file folder. When it's highlighted like that it means you are ready to drop them in there. Now those five files are inside there. Do the same thing for underwater. Another file folder, type in Underwater and go grab all the underwater clips. I could say underwater stills, underwater videos, but we'll put all the underwater clips into that one folder. Select them all with clicking and Shift+Clicking, drag it down to the Underwater folder, let them all inside there. You might also want to create a folder for audio clips and a folder for titles.
So this is a good way to organize your media assets. You do that in the Edit Task workspace under the Project View and when you start building your video you'll be glad that you organized in this way. It makes it easier to do the project.
There are currently no FAQs about Premiere Elements 7 Essential Training.

Techspo 2013: Taking education technology to the next level
Posted By Alesha Williams Boyd On January 30, 2013 @ 4:58 pm In education | Comments Disabled
[1]Digital learning environments will be the focus of this year's TECHSPO, a statewide technology conference by educators for educators.
The18th annual two-day TECHSPO [2] conference, sponsored by New Jersey Association of School Administrators, kicks off tomorrow at Bally's Atlantic City. The conference is the largest of its kind in the state, and will be attended by chief education officers, school board members, school leaders, curriculum directors and teachers.
"Schools are at a pivotal turning point with technology," said NJASA Executive Director Richard Bozza. "We are moving beyond 'classrooms with computers' to environments where technology is an integral part of creative thinking and problem-solving.
With technology, students can learn at their own pace, guided by teachers who no longer become the sole content providers. In this way, students become much more engaged in the learning process."
A Conference By Educators for Educators
TECHSPO will showcase digital technologies, as well as introduce ways to use them in meaningful instruction, according to NJASA. Keynote addresses include:
A Visual Approach to Math: Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer and Senior Scientist at the MIND Research Institute [3], Dr. Matthew Peterson once struggled with traditional language-based instruction due to dyslexia. As a result, he created a Spatial Temporal Math software program that teaches sophisticated math concepts visually rather than verbally.
The Digital Generation Comes of Age: As computer-literate children become America's new leaders, visionaries, and designers, how will their digital upbringing affect society and culture?
New York Times technology columnist David Pogue [4] takes a thoughtful, funny look at how the tidal wave will hit as the digital generation enters prime time – what we'll gain, what we'll lose, and what beliefs and approaches will shift into something we've never seen before.
In addition, TECHSPO will provide two days of group instructional sessions. Here's the full schedule [5].
Following are highlights:
The Exhibit Hall will be open throughout the conference. Exhibitors will showcase, and in many cases demonstrate, new technology for the classroom.
Pre-registration for the conference is preferred, but walk-ins will be accommodated for an additional charge. For more information, visit www.njasa.net or email firstname.lastname@example.com [6].

Great decent priced controller. ALL needed parts are included, install a breeze. Originally installed a different brand controller that was suggested to 'complement' the aftermarket installed fans on my F150. Didn't last a week before controller failed. I needed a replacement that would work ! The Flex-A-lite controller has better reviews, so made the switch and am MUCH happier. Not only does this controller look cleaner, but has more options and heavier current ratings.

Alaska Senator Mark Begich is standing by statements he made about voting access in Alaska after a state official criticized those remarks.
In his annual address to the Alaska Legislature this week, Begich said he's concerned about recent trends in the state making voting more difficult, especially for Alaska Natives and other minorities. He said the Parnell Administration has fought against Native language ballots and is seeking to overturn part of the federal Voting Rights Act.
In a letter to Begich on Wednesday, Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai strongly disputed that the state has imposed any obstacles to voting. She also said Alaska is not challenging the section of the Voting Rights Act that mandates a "robust" language assistance program.
Begich Spokeswoman Heather Handyside responded Thursday. In a statement she said the Senator's remarks "were accurate and reflect the troubling experiences he's been hearing from many rural Alaskans." She also called it "sadly ironic" that Fenumiai cited the Voting Rights Act, parts of which the Parnell administration has sought to change or do away with in court.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Authorities have charged two 18-year-olds with flipping a car in a West Virginia University parking lot during the revelry and fire-setting that followed the Mountaineer football team's Sept. 28 win over Oklahoma State.
WVU Police said Thursday they've arrested Kevin James Wheeler of White Hall, Md., and have issued a warrant for William Schwab of Glencoe, Md. Schwab attends the University of South Carolina.
Chief Bob Roberts said both are charged with felony destruction of property. Conviction carries a possible fine of up to $2,500 or 10 years in prison, or both.
Roberts said the Monongalia County prosecutor's office is having Schwab extradited.
Neither suspect immediately answered emails sent to their student accounts, and it was unclear whether either of them has an attorney.
Police got more than 40 tips, Roberts said, and investigators spent more than 100 hours identifying the men.
WVU students have a long history of fires and mayhem after big athletic events.
The school and the city of Morgantown have tried for years to crack down, expelling students for bad behavior and invoking state arson laws for fire-starters rather than charging offenders with misdemeanors.
Last fall, police began using Facebook, Twitter and other social media to identify suspects.
More than 40 fires were deliberately set after WVU's 48-45 victory over Texas last season, and students threw rocks, beer bottles and other objects at police in riot gear. Crowds were dispersed with pepper spray and a chemical gas.
In 2003, more than 100 fires were set after a midweek victory over Virginia Tech in Morgantown.

The Best Potty Training Toilet Chairs and Seats
Whether you're looking for a potty with songs and stickers or one to blend into your bathroom decor, we tested the latest potties to help you choose the best toilet training gear.
Courtesy of Toys R Us
Summer Infant Story Time Potty
Use all that time waiting for number 2 to help your child become number 1 at reading.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the cute frog design and the included book and interactive panel that reads a story and encourages their efforts. Parents will love the integrated splash guard, large and easy-to-remove pot, and wipe-able storybook.
Potty Problem: The audio playback has no stop button or volume control, so you're going to get really tired of it. Plus, the book holder is big enough to hold only the one included story, so it's not easy to swap out other books.
Parent Feedback: "The Summer Infant Story Time Potty was a huge hit with my 2-year-old son, who loves to read books on the potty. It was a perfect motivator to get him to sit on the potty. I love that the potty has a removable seat that can go on the big potty, which my 5-year-old enjoyed using. The Story Time Potty is comfortable, sized right, and adds fun to the potty experience." - Kate S.

Safety 1st Ladybug Potty
Find the perfect potty pal to help your tot go tinkle -- also available as Monkey, Lion, Baseball, and Soccer Ball.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the friendly animal designs and unusual round shape. Parents will love the deep pot and adorable designs.
Potty Problem: This potty has to be set out from the wall because of its round lid; it lacks handles and a sufficient splash guard.
Parent Feedback: "This potty is adorable! It's ideal for a younger child because it's small and low to the ground. It also has a deep basin, which makes carrying the contents down the hall to the bathroom much less risky, especially since my daughter often insists on 'helping' with this process. But I found it very difficult to lift out the removable seat reducer. You have to really yank at it, and I was worried about snapping the plastic in the process." - Alissa H.
How to Potty Train in 3 Days
Potty Train in 3 Days
Watch this video for seven easy steps to potty train your child in just one weekend!

Safety 1st Talkin' Tunes Potty
Record your own inspiring message to help your tot become a potty training pro.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the attached handle, which makes a flushing sound, plays celebratory music, and repeats an encouraging parent-recorded motivation. Parents will love the 3-in-1 versatility, snap-shut lid, and ability to record and change the congratulatory quote.
Potty Problem: The rewarding song and message are connected to the flush handle and do not actually play when a child has just used the potty successfully.
Parent Feedback: "What more does a 2-year-old girl want than everything being pink -- even the potty! My daughter thrives on praise, and she couldn't wait to hear what the surprise message was when she got to 'flush' the potty. I found myself changing the message two to three times a week, but it was easy enough to do and worth it for the motivation." - Courtney G.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Munchkin Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat
Whether used as a potty chair, removable trainer seat, or sturdy step stool, this compact potty eliminates odors with an integrated, deodorizing disk.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the built-in wipes dispenser that makes them feel grown-up. Parents will love the disposable, deodorizing Arm & Hammer disk that stops the stink (especially in poorly-ventilated bathrooms), the gender-neutral color scheme, and the built-in flushable wipes that help develop proper hygiene habits.
Potty Problem: The odd size of the wipes holder means you're stuck buying Arm & Hammer wipes, which are pricey and have a distinct scent. ($5.70/36 wipes)
Parent Feedback: "I like this potty because it has a simple design and will blend more with my bathroom's d?cor. I also like that it has a lid (you can never teach little boys too early to close the lid) and that it could grow with us by moving to the regular toilet via the step stool and seat reducer." - Korie C.
Courtesy of Diapers.com
Fisher-Price Royal Stepstool Potty
Give your little prince or princess a royal seat to do their business on.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the four encouraging reward tunes that play when they use the potty. Parents will love the 3-in-1 versatility and big smiles the reward music will bring.
Potty Problem: The hard plastic seat isn't comfy to sit on for long periods. Also, you have to clean and dry the bowl after each use: If the sensor is already wet, it won't play the reward music for the next time.
Parent Feedback: "This potty was a very versatile chair for both of my children. My 2-year-old son loved that the chair would sing him a song when he went potty - a great motivator. My 5-year-old daughter loved to use the step stool when she brushed her teeth. Now, if only I could get my son to stop taking off the lid and playing with it!" - Jamie B.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
The First Years Cars 2 Rev And Go Potty System
Help your tot race towards the potty training finish line with a little help from Lightning McQueen.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the vivid colors, Lightning McQueen's smile cheering them on, and the engine-revving pretend flusher. Parents will love how much kids love it.
Potty Problem: The splash guard is almost nonexistent and the design of the pot makes leaks a very real and frequent possibility. Because the pot is yellow, it's tricky to see when your child has had success.
Parent Feedback: "My son loves the Cars theme, and the noise-making shifter was very exciting for him. However, the shifter was so exciting that it was a bit distracting from the task at hand. Still, it did get him interested in the potty, which was a step in the right direction. I also liked that that the seat could easily transfer to a real toilet when he's ready, but the 'pee-pee-shield' on the foam insert is not high enough and this led to frequent wall wipe-downs." - Allie M.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Jahgoo 3-in-1 Potty
This convenient 3-in-1 potty doesn't have the bells and whistles that would make it an eyesore in your bathroom.
Potty Praise: Kids will love to personalize the potty with stickers. Parents will love the sleek, modern design and the versatility as a seat reducer and stool.
Potty Problem: The seat is high (8.5") and unpadded. The child sits on the lip of the removable pot, which can be uncomfortable for long sitters, and the seat and base of the potty don't stay connected, making it tricky to pick-up as a unit.
Parent Feedback: "The all-inclusive set is great for the transition from a small potty seat to the regular toilet. The pot is very easy for a little one to remove and carry, allowing for personal responsibility. But the removable seat shifted around and wasn't steady on a regular toilet. The stool is also the base of the potty, which you can't handwash without taking the whole potty apart." - Ashley P.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Jahgoo Potty
For tiny tots and limited-room loos, this minimalist potty provides just the basics.
Potty Praise: Kids will love being able to sit down on it by themselves. Parents will love the compact size and easy-to-clean pot.
Potty Problem: There isn't any padding or splash guard, the plastic feels flimsy, and the two pieces don't always stay locked together.
Parent Feedback: "I like the look of the potty; it's nice and small, so it can go pretty much everywhere. But it was so small that my son barely fit on it and would pee right out of it. The removable reservoir was hard to snap into place and then unsnap for cleaning." - Nicole W.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Prince Lionheart weePOD Basix
Simple and compact, the soft, cushiony ring provides a comfortable seat for training time.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the ample padding and dual suction cups for a secure, wiggle-free seat. Parents will love the compact design, modern gray color, tall splash guard, and one-piece design that makes cleaning a breeze.
Potty Problem: It doesn't have handles, which helps some kids feel more comfortable and provides a sanitary way to get the seat on and off.
Parent Feedback: "The soft seat allows for a more comfortable and stress-free adjustment to the toilet, especially when the child needs some extra time to finish. The seat is seamless to the toilet and stays put, so any over-spray makes it into the toilet no matter what, keeping my toilet a lot drier and cleaner! But since the built in pee-shield is rather high, it's more difficult for the child to make it off the toilet unassisted." - Ashley P.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
The First Years Disney Princess Magical Sounds Potty Seat
Pink, purple, flowers and castles -- the perfect potty seat for your little princess.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the princess motif and magical chimes button. Parents will love the compact design and snap-out cushion for easy cleaning.
Potty Problem: Additional "magical sounds" or encouraging words from a Disney princess would be nice.
Parent Feedback: "My girls love princesses, and they greatly enjoy the 'magical sounds' button. But since there is only one sound, I grew weary of it pretty quickly. The plastic frame and seat cushion seem unnecessarily large and bulky. This might make them more comfortable but also more cumbersome to store." - Susan A.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Primo 4-in-1 Soft Seat Trainer
No bells or whistles on this 4-in-1, but its sturdy, simple design gets the job done.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the included stickers and handles for added support. Parents will love the versatility of an all-in-one and its ability to blend into the bathroom
Potty Problem: Minus the stickers, you might want to look elsewhere if your child needs more rah-rah. Also the splash guard might not be tall enough for some.
Parent Feedback: "I liked the wide, comfy seat as well as the built-in 'spray deflector' for my son. The ability to use it as a stand-alone potty, a seat reducer, a stool or a travel potty offers lots of versatility for a pretty good price. We have a small bathroom and I love that I could use the same device for potty training and as a stool." - Suzy M.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
Primo Freedom Trainer
Updated to fit "comfort" or standard height toilets, the built-in step stool on this seat reducer helps your little one be independent in the loo.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the independence of going potty by themselves. Parents will love the lightweight and fold-flat design plus the lack of clean-up.
Potty Problem: The plastic feels flimsy, and it can be tricky for tots to turn around on the tiny steps.
Parent Feedback: "My son is a climber and was so excited to climb the ladder of his new Primo potty! It was so much easier to allow him to climb up and down rather than pick him up and down the potty all day! I do wish that the seat and ladder were a bit sturdier, but overall, a great, fun, and motivating potty." - Kristin D.
Courtesy of Amazon.com
The Little Looster
The unique U-shaped design gives little legs a lift without getting in your way.
Potty Praise: Kids will love the wide support that eases fears and builds confidence. Parents will love that the stool doesn't impede their ability to use the toilet themselves.
Potty Problem: It's a big hunk of plastic that can overwhelm a small bathroom, and the U-shape can't easily be repurposed as a stool elsewhere in the house.
Parent Feedback: "The Little Looster booster step is a wonderful potty training tool for my 2-year-old son. This is the first stool I've found that's tall enough for my son to climb on and that supports his feet while he uses the grown-up potty. My husband liked that he did not have to move the stool out of the way to use the toilet when standing (though I needed to move it when I used the toilet). The surface is very easy to clean and stays clean." - Larissa N.

Massage Techniques
Are you looking for an erotic massage parlor? Whatever methods you use, keep tabs on which ones worked better and which ones didn't do
well. Then you can eliminate the ones that were flops and continue to use the ones that were
not successful. In order to stay in business, a massage therapist has to know more than one massage
technique. The more techniques they are skilled at, the more money they can stand to make.
erotic massage parlor
Here are some different massage therapy techniques that are popular with clients:
Swedish Massage
This massage was created by a gym instructor from Sweden named Pehr Henrik Ling. He
started this technique at the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics. The Swedish Massage is
used in table massage.
There are five different types of strokes that are incorporated with the Erotic Massage Parlor massage:
• Effleurage– This stroke is used for lubricant application. It is also used to get your
clients to get familiar with your touch. This French word means glide or flow. That is
what you are doing when you use this stroke.
You allow your hands to get deep into the skin and the muscles. This can be done in
the same area a few times. Go with the shape of the client's body, using this stroke
over the entire area that is being massaged.
This stroke can also be used for detecting muscles tightness. Using Effleurage can
help to remove toxins from your body. This stroke can be performed with one or both
hands. There should be a continuous blood flow to the client's heart as you apply the
• Petrissage– This is a kneading stroke. Put the client's soft tissue in your hand and lift
it, then squeeze it, and release it. Repeat the process for the affected area. This stroke
has to be performed in a slow and firm manner.
This kneading stroke disposes of toxins and waste from the soft tissues. Blood along
with oxygen replaces it and provides nourishment.
• Friction– This stroke is also called a compression because you are pushing down and
squeezing the tissue. Along with this is the compression stroke that provides more
circulation. In order to work this, you slide your hands in a back and forth motion across
the client's skin.
• Vibration– This stroke deals with shaking. It involves rocking with a rhythm at a slow
pace. You can use your fingertips or hands. Some therapists will use electrical items.
However, it is not necessarily prudent to use anything electrical.
They can cause your client's skin to become numb and without feeling. In addition to
that, the therapist may lose nerves in their hand. You can do this vibration stroke in one
of three ways: rocking, coarse, or fine.
With the fine version, it works with the digestive system. For the coarse version,
another word for this method is jostling. This method helps to loosen muscles in your
• Tapotement– This stroke is considered as a light blow or touch. It has a rhythmic
method in which the edge of the palm is used. You can also use the heel of the hand.
It is used as a stimulator. It is also used to relieve cramped muscles.
With Swedish massages, a massage therapist will have to use oils in order for the treatment to
be effective.
Modern Erotic Massage Parlor
Shiatsu is a Japanese version of a massage. The word means "finger pressure". So Shiatsu
is a finger pressure massage. This type of massage uses the holistic method. It is considered
to be part of traditional Chinese medicine. In this case, the belief is that imbalances from
natural energy flow cause people to become ill.
Erotic Massage Parlor therapists that use this method use their fingers and pressure from their palms of
their hands. They do this to open up pathways of energy. If someone's nervous system is out
of whack, Shiatsu is used to cure that or at least bring peace to that area of the body. It is also
responsible for circulation improvement, relaxing muscles and gets rid of stress.
This method is performed by adding pressure to the affected area using a rhythmic motion. It
is considered to be a more localized pressure. The finger pads put pressure on the majority of
this treatment and not the whole palm.
When applying this Erotic Massage Parlor massage, there may be tenderness in some of the affected areas. This is
described as "good pain". However, if a client should feel real pain during this process, they
should let their therapist know immediately. They can adjust the pressure that they are
applying to the client and alleviate their discomfort.
Shiatsu is used to alleviate a lot of ailments. Some of them are listed here:
• Headaches
• Stress
• Injuries
• Arthritis
• Constipation
• Indigestion
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Back pain
When you go for your Shiatsu treatment, it will be conducted on a low massage table or you
will be lying on the floor. You don't use massage oil with this particular massage. You also
keep on your clothes. It's a good idea to wear something comfortable when you come for your
massage treatment.
Acupressure can be an Erotic Massage Parlor therapy treatment that is similar to acupuncture, but without the
needles. Manual pressure is used with the fingertips on specific areas of the body. This is
derived from traditional Chinese medicine which employs energy from the body called "chi".
This energy connect with invisible parts of energy flow. This is called meridians. There are
supposedly at least 14 of them that have connections with some of our other organs.
Acupressure points are situated on those meridians. The belief is that health ailments and
diseases run rampant when chi flow is blocked on any of the meridian points.
To alleviate that, the therapist will apply pressure to an acupressure point in one area of your
body to heal another area. That may sound strange, but that's how acupressure works. Some
people thinks that pressure in one area can release endorphins, which are chemicals in a
person's body that relieve the affected area of natural pain.
You may feel pressure during the treatment, but you should never feel pain. If you do, let your
therapist know immediately.
After the treatment, the client may feel sore at those particular points and may also experience
light headedness. Both of these are temporary side effects.
Sports Massage Therapy or Erotic Massage Parlor
Athletes would greatly benefit from this type of massage therapy. This type of massage
therapy is worth the investment for a massage therapist. Just doing this alone could prove to
be a lucrative career.
Athletes are competitive in nature because they are supposed to be. Each one wants to do
better or outdo the other person. The main goal is to win, whether it's in baseball, basketball,
football or any of the numerous sports that people compete in. Having a sports massage can
help the athlete get a head up on their competitors.
Professional athletes from all kinds of sports employ massage therapists and they see the
results. Athletes see great benefits in having a massage therapist. Their ability to compete is
increased. It also enhances their flexibility. The massage therapist will instruct the athlete to
incorporate things like stretches, releasing muscle tension and muscle trigger points.
Since there are many athletes in different sports, the techniques are going to be different. The
therapist should familiarize themselves with the sport in question. This way, they will know
what areas to give attention to.
Erotic Massage Parlor therapists that are getting into the sports business have to get familiar with the
athletes that they will be working with. They can ask questions such as in what areas are they
experiencing pain. Therapists should not attempt to stretch any of the muscles because that
can damage the muscle fibers.
If athletes have sore muscles, this type of therapy will benefit them greatly. It will help them to
alleviate the soreness very quickly. The athlete can move on to the next event or go to
practice after they've had their massage therapy treatment. In addition to that, this treatment
can help an athlete to get rid of soreness after daily workouts.
Having massage therapy for athletes was probably the best thing that ever happened to them.
The therapist needs to know where to release trigger points on the athletes for a better
performance. The more techniques they are able to incorporate with the athletes, the better
chance they have of making more money. It's important that the massage therapists are
versatile. All of the athletes don't encounter the same problems with their muscles and joints.
If an athlete has cramps, the therapist should allow them to stretch the area against the
resistance. The muscle will relax and relieve the cramps. The therapist needs to know what
area to hold in place while the client stretches.
The therapist should instruct the client to drink sports drinks such as Gatorade or other sports
drinks. This will help the athlete replenish minerals in their system. It will also keep them
hydrated. The therapist should also advise them to eat bananas for potassium.
When messaging the athletes, you should not use any lubricants. This must be a quick
process that will energize them. This will help them to be able to compete better. At the end
of the massage, you can use tapping or slapping methods to get their muscles in shape.
When you hear of other sports events, talk to the people in charge as soon as possible and
advise them that you would like to offer complimentary services of your therapy
treatments. We hope that your will look at the links on this page to find and Erotic Massage Parlor in your area.

Earlier this morning, we posted Assassin's Creed III's Independence Trailer, which made mention of some of the game's pre-order bonuses. But along with the new trailer and pre-order goodies comes the announcement of the title's $119.99 Limited Edition.
Included in the LE are a 24" x 48" Assassin's Creed-themed colonial flag, as well as a 9.44" statue of ACIII's new protagonist, Connor.
A metal belt buckle also comes with the package, which is exclusive to retailers in North and Latin America.
This image from the end of the aforementioned trailer could be a pic of the statue, though the vid was for European markets (the game's "Freedom Edition" seems to have been detailed… could be the Euro-specific Limited Edition), so take heed:

Housed in an old Lafayette Square tavern that was home to an Anheuser-Busch tavern a century ago, Square One Brewery's dozen different varieties of house-crafted beer include the staples of every microbrewery -- a rich stout, a clean-tasting IPA and a tart weizen. The food is casual hearty pub fare that goes well with the full-bodied flavor of a pint: chili, beer-cheese soup, bratwurst, plus beer-battered this, that and the other. Besides the dozen microbrews on tap, the distillery side of the operation churns out its own whiskey, vodka, gin, an American tequila and three rums. A brewery and a distillery...in the same building? We are there.

Review written by: Hayley Holmes
Well, the Biebs has done it again. If
didn't melt the hearts of everyone already then this acoustic album is certain to. Taking number one hits like, "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me" and stripping them down to simpler, acoustic versions is the sign of true talent and definitely makes for a great record. Justin Bieber's "
Believe Acoustic
" was released January 29th and is already the number one album on iTunes to no surprise seeing as how Believe was such a hit when it was released back in June. The album features eight acoustic versions of tracks from the album as well as three new songs.
"Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me" are just as good acoustic as they are on the first album, if not better. Both songs have a similar sound when stripped to their acoustic roots. These two tracks feature the classic Bieber love-ballads that are sure to make girls swoon the second the lyrics come out of his mouth. "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me" both focus on how he would treat a girlfriend and how as long as you love him, nothing else matters. Both of things songs are probably my favorites on the album due to their rich vocals and raw acoustic sound.
"Beauty and a Beat", another hit song from Believe and one of those most talked about songs due to the collaboration with Nicki Minaj, probably loses some of its appeal in acoustic form. Personally, the song sounds better in acoustic form because you can hear the words more clearly and it has a slow jam feel, but a lot of the hype from the song comes from the collaboration and the controversial rap on Nicki Minaj's part.
The weakest part of the album comes from the next two songs "She Don't Like The Lights" and "Take You". Compared to the other tracks on this album, these two songs fall flat in an acoustic setting. "She Don't Like The Lights" sounds better in it's original version because of its dig at the paparazzi, and "Take You" sounds better in its original version as well because of the transition from the continuous upbeat pop to Bieber's breakdown in the bridge.
Already an acoustic song, "Be Alright" makes an appearance again. This heartfelt song shows a deeper side of Justin, which always makes for a good track. The song gives off the message that when he's traveling the world he misses a special someone. Wonder who that could be, Bieber? The next track "All Around The World" goes almost hand in hand with "Be Alright". The track expresses that no matter where one may be, all around the world everyone just wants to be loved. Another great acoustic track because let's face it, who doesn't love a great acoustic song about wanting to be loved?
"Fall" is a great addition to this album. On the original album, this song kind of struggled due to the music overpowering Bieber's vocals. Acoustically, this song is brilliant. It is a perfect pop ballad with lyrics that tell a story of a pair of best friends that fell in love. When the song is played with just a guitar and Bieber's voice, it is appreciated a lot more and it really accomplishes a lot more. Definitely one of the best tracks on the album!
The three new songs, "Yellow Raincoat", "I Would", and "Nothing Like Us", have their ups and downs. "Yellow Raincoat" is an unnecessary song for the album. With a very traditional melody and cheesy cliché lyrics, this song just didn't really add anything to the album. "I Would" is a pretty decent track. With similar ideas to the song "That Should Be Me" on Bieber's
My World 2.0
, he sings his heart out saying that if he could take the pain away and put a smile on your face then he would. Lastly, "Nothing Like Us", a bonus track that is being gossiped about saying it could be about Bieber's on again off again girlfriend Selena, is a cry for forgiveness if I've ever heard one. This track is a great track showing a vulnerable side of Bieber. Saying over and over again how "there's nothing like you and me together," shows that he'll go to any length to win this girl back. Definitely a track that you'll want to blast when you're reminiscing on a past relationship and how great things were with said person. Cue the waterworks for sure!
Believe Acoustic
is definitely a smart move for Justin Bieber. Picking heartfelt ballads, and a song showing his ideas of relationships is a smooth move for the Biebs. The public already loved these tracks on Believe and a vast majority of the songs transferred over to this album sound flawless when played acoustically. There is no doubt that this kid has talent and his talent definitely shines through tremendously in this solely acoustic album. Bieber overcomes the struggle of being upstaged by other artists by singing completely solo and from his heart in this special edition.
Believe Acoustic
is enough to make everyone young and old a dedicated "Belieber", and it reminds everyone of the boy from YouTube that the world fell in love with and assures audiences that there's more to this 18-year-old Canadian then synth pop and rap collaborations.

In Baseball vs. Rodriguez, A Show Of Tough Posturing
Professor Bill Gould spoke with David Waldstein of The New York Times to weigh in on the MLB's expected announcement on which players it plans to suspend for drug-policy violations and the unusual step Commissioner Bud Selig could take in the process.
As Major League Baseball moves closer to suspending Alex Rodriguez for what it believes to be his involvement with performance-enhancing drugs, it has taken an increasingly tough stance in public. Baseball has conveyed its willingness to issue a lifetime suspension to Rodriguez and possibly to circumvent the usual appeals process that a player can normally use under the sport's Joint Drug Agreement.
In turn, the lead lawyer for Rodriguez, David Cornwell, has adopted a determined posture of his own. In a radio interview with ESPN on Monday, he said Rodriguez would contest any suspension and would challenge the credibility of the evidence presented against him.
William Gould, a professor emeritus at Stanford Law School and a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, said Selig was essentially "firing a shot across A-Rod's bow" in getting out into the public the notion that he might ignore normal protocol in drug cases in his efforts to punish Rodriguez.
"I imagine Selig is just trying to use all leverage possible to get an agreement," he added.

A Washington County grand jury indicted a former corrections officer accused of letting inmates use a cell phone in exchange for money.
Nicholas Dalton Kent, 30, 1307 Ballard Drive, was indicted Monday on charges of official misconduct and taking contraband into the jail. The charges stem from an investigation that began in March after an officer heard a cell phone ring inside a Washington County Detention Center inmate pod.
Detention Center officers searched the pod and found the phone hidden inside a mattress that had been cut.
Kent was fired two days later and then arrested.
According to a court affidavit filed by WCSO Investigator Jared Taylor, Kent gave a statement that he took the cell phone, a charger and "other contraband" to three inmates who shared a cell, and Kent did it for "financial gain."
At the time of Kent's arrest, Chief Operating Officer Leighta Laitinen said cell phones pose a threat to jail safety because inmates can set up drug deals or conduct other illegal activity.
All inmate phone lines are recorded and prosecutors often use that information in a court case.
Other indictments from Monday's grand jury meeting included:
n Joseph Michael Edwards, 29, no address available, on charges of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault. The charges stem from an April 10 incident inside an Oak Grove Road apartment where Edwards is accused of attacking Amanda Ball.
When Washington County Sheriff's deputies responded to a domestic call at the apartment, they found Ball lying on the bathroom floor with blood on her had and face.
She told officers Edwards hit her in the head with a hammer and other witnesses said he also choked her.
Ball also reported that Edwards had threatened to kill her during a confrontation in the parking lot of the Electric Cowboy.
Edwards is jailed on $150,000 bond and also has unrelated burglary charges pending.
n Jason S. Hill, 34, 218 Whitetop Circle, Bluff City, on charges of harassment, aggravated burglary and two counts of aggravated assault. Hill was arrested after a May 8 incident at a Gray residence in which he is accused of holding two people at gunpoint and threatening to kill them.
According to court records, Hill had confronted the victims, James Hale and Katrina Peters, earlier in the evening because they were together at a Johnson City bar. Hill was thrown out of the bar and Hale and Peters left a short time later.
When the two arrived at Peters' residence, she looked for her pistol and noticed it was missing. Peters and Hale were talking when Hill entered the room — with Peters' pistol in one hand and a pipe in the other — and said he had been waiting on them, according to court documents.
After Hale retrieved a shotgun from his vehicle, Hill fled.
Hill is free on $50,000 bond.
