For the second time in a week, workers at Walmart stores, this time in five states, have walked out on the job. While Walmart does not allow unions and the strikes are relatively time-limited, this surge of worker activism at the nation's largest employer is one of the biggest stories in US labor relations.
This morning, workers walked off the job at stores in Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; Seattle, Washington; Laurel, Maryland; and Northern, Central, and Southern California. No end date has been announced; some plan to remain on strike at least through tomorrow, when they'll join other Walmart workers for a demonstration outside the company's annual investor meeting in Bentonville, Arkansas. Today's is the latest in a wave of Walmart supply chain strikes without precedent in the United States: From shrimp workers in Louisiana, to warehouse workers in California and Illinois, to Walmart store employees in five states.
"A lot of associates, we have to use somewhat of a buddy system," Dallas worker Colby Harris said last night. "We loan each other money during non-paycheck weeks just to make it through to the next week when we get paid. Because we don't have enough money after paying bills to even eat lunch." Harris, who's now on strike, said that after three years at Walmart, he makes $8.90 an hour in the produce department, and workers at his store have faced "constant retaliation" for speaking up.
Maybe there really is such a thing as pushing the US worker too far. You wouldn't know it from the decline in real wages that has been going on almost unabated since 1979. You wouldn't know it from the crushing of the labor movement and the decline in union density. You wouldn't know it from the intimidation and harassment that accompanies any effort to organize and collectively bargain, especially at Walmart. But maybe this Walmart work stoppage is a symbol of cracks in the great compression of worker power in the US over the past 30-plus years. Maybe enough workers have become angry enough to fight.
Walmart has tried to dismiss these efforts. But given that they are the only strike actions in the history of the retailer, and that they're spreading, I would guess there are some hairs being pulled out of heads among executives in Bentonville.
A supplier to Walmart recently settled its strike with warehouse workers by rescinding retaliatory measures against labor organizers and offering back pay to the striking workers. So something is happening, and I would recommend keeping an eye on the non-union worker collective OUR Walmart for more potential actions ahead.

Eric LaMarque survived being stranded in the backcountry around Mammoth Mountain. Aron Ralston survived 127 hours of hell after becoming trapped under a boulder. We're betting that these and other famous survivalists would recommend LED flashlights for emergencies, for the reasons listed below:
Long Run Times and Bulb Life
Yesterday's flashlights contained incandescent bulbs, which provide light by way of a glowing-hot filament. This design naturally loses a lot of power to heat. In contrast, LED bulbs provide light via light emitting diodes that naturally release light when charged particles change energy states. In this circumstance, very little energy is lost to heat.
Indeed, many LED flashlights can run on the same set of batteries for hundreds of hours. Moreover, a single LED bulb may last for hundreds of thousands of hours. In contrast, most incandescent bulbs provide between 750 and 1000 hours of light.
However, even for LED bulbs, energy efficiency declines at high levels of light output. Therefore, you can probably achieve the best efficiency by choosing to run your LED flashlight at the lowest usable light setting. (Many modern LED flashlights allow you to adjust brightness output.)
Less Fragile than Conventional Gas-Powered Lanterns
LED flashlights are more sturdy and stable than kerosene or propane lanterns. They do not require users to gather any fuel beyond batteries.
Consistent Operation, Regardless of Temperature
Did you know an incandescent bulb can shatter if used in extremely cold temperatures? It's true, and again it is due to the fact that incandescent bulbs run very hot. Any physics instructor would tell you that glass is one of many natural materials that expand with heat and contract with cold. We're not talking about huge amounts of expansion – when filled with hot water, for instance, a glass will only expand about .02 percent. However, this is more than enough to cause cracks. The culprit is uneven heating. If some parts of the glass are warmer than others, the expansion process will not be consistent, and because glass has a low tolerance for being stretched, it will usually break. (Pyrex and other heat-resistant glass is engineered to have a very low level of thermal expansion.)
If you try to turn on an incandescent bulb in extremely cold temperatures, i.e. any temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit, the glass bulb will expand inconsistently and often shatter.
In contrast, LED flashlight bulbs remain usable in very cold temperatures because they do not emit heat. They run cold because their light production is dependent on positively or negatively charged ions finding their mates across semiconductor materials. This procedure does not radiate heat, as does a glowing filament in an incandescent bulb. With very little contrast between the bulb itself and the surrounding external temperature, LED flashlights can safely be used in extremely cold conditions. Indeed, with cold-resistant lithium batteries, LED flashlights can operate in temperatures as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Extremely Bright Light Output
When you're stranded in the wilderness, your whole being yearns for a device that will somehow attract the attention of rescue workers. From flares to mirrors to messages spelled out in rocks or sticks, those in emergency situations quickly become creative about flagging down search parties. LED flashlights are superior to incandescent torches in emergency situations because they emit extremely bright light.
To appreciate the incredible brightness of an LED flashlight, consider that one lumen is equivalent to one birthday candle seen from a distance of one foot. The average incandescent bulb emits 17 lumens per watt of power. In contrast, an LED bulb can deliver more than 60 lumens with the same watt of power. Therefore, you get far more brightness with far less power when you choose an LED flashlight.
Superior Beam Distance
Beam distance is another variable that flashlight manufacturers measure. This is an important quality in emergency circumstances because a flashlight with a longer beam distance will send light farther into the darkness. When you're stranded, a longer beam distance makes it more likely that emergency rescuers will notice your light. It's also helpful to have a long beam distance even when you're not hoping to attract searchers' attention. When you're alone in the woods, you want to know about a bear or other potential attacker as soon as possible; a long-beam flashlight gives you the advantage of seeing what's coming as early as possible.
In general, LED flashlights have longer beam distances than incandescent flashlights. Part of this has to do with the fact that many LED flashlights can be adjusted to provide more a more focused, narrow beam of light. This feature allows you to choose focused light when beam distance counts, and more dispersed light for ambient lighting.

A Veteran's Weight Loss Success Story and Nutrisystem Coupons
If you're a military veteran who has put on a few pounds since your last deployment, continue reading to discover why the majority of retired servicemen and women gain a significant amount of weight, upon entering civilian life. As well as how Nutrisystem, can help you shed the pounds you've put on, without sacrificing your favorite foods.
How does Nutrisystem differ from the myriad of weight loss programs which are available?
Whilst most weight loss programs simply contain recipe ideas, Nutrisystem members have fresh, portion controlled meals delivered to their door on a daily basis. So there's less temptation for individuals to cheat on their diet. Better yet, members can sign up to a standard plan or customize their own meal plan, to fit their individual metabolism and weight loss goals. Once signed up to a plan, members are able to put design their own menu, from a database of over 150 nutrient rich foods. So you can rest assured, that you won't be forced to eat the same foods, over and over again.
What are some of the unique health challenges faced by veterans?
It's common for veterans to gain weight, after retiring from active military service as most active servicemen and women are able to eat whatever they like whilst serving, without gaining weight, due to the sheer amount of calories which they burn on a daily basis. However, once veterans settle into civilian lives, they often become sedentary and pile on pounds, as they continue to consume the same amount of calories, without burning the same amount of calories.
As you know, if you consume more calories than you burn, you'll put on weight. In fact, the International Journal of Obesity, reported that upon retiring the average military veteran will gain between 2.2-2.9 pound per year. In 2005, another study found that a staggering 68% of female veterans and 73% of male veterans had body mass indexes of over 25 kg/m2. Unfortunately, individuals who have a BMI over 25 kg/m2 severely increase their risk of developing health problems such as diabetes.
It's also been reported that war can negatively affect a veteran's mental health and that the lifestyle habits a veteran picked up whilst serving, can negatively influence their relationship with food. As an example, some veterans may have a tendency to binge eat or hide food, as a result of a food scarcity, during a deployment; whilst others may overeat as a way of coping with high stress situations.
Interestingly, many survivors of the Holocaust as well as released prisoners of war, also reported similar psychological based, preoccupations with food.
How does Nutrisystem assist military veterans in achieving their weight loss goals?
As a way of thanking all active and retired members of the armed forces for their service, Nutrisystem is offering military servicemen and women an exclusive 12% Nutrisystem discount code, which can be used on all orders, as well as free shipping.
Better yet, Nutrisystem boasts an online Veterans Support forum, where veterans can inspire each other to achieve their personal weight loss goals. Upon joining the Veterans Support forum, users are encouraged to share the name of the branch which they served in as well as their weight loss target.
Nutrisystem Coupon Code
The Nutrisystem promo code for this summer is 30OFFWEIGHTLOSS.
Retired military man Brad loses 54 lbs on Nutrisystem:
Brad, a veteran who served in the military for 20 years, 15 of which were spent in Special Operations Aviation, had struggled with his weight since childhood. Whilst Brad lost 19 pounds during basic training, he soon gained the weight he had lost back, during his first assignment. Whilst Brad had spent his entire adult life being overweight, his weight ballooned upon retiring from military service. In fact, five years after retiring from active duty, Brad's weight reached a staggering 263 pounds.
At first Brad lived in denial, refusing to accept the fact that he was clinically obese. His weight soon became the elephant in the room as Brad's excessive weight had increased his back and hip pain. Both of which were caused by service related injuries. As, an example, during a training exercise with a special ops unit, Brad took a 30 foot fall and fractured his hips and back.
By Thanksgiving 2012, Brad decided that enough was enough and by December the 1st 2012, Brad had signed up for Nutrisystem's Men's Select Program. Upon sampling the variety of meals, which were delivered to his doorstep, Brad was pleasantly surprised as got to try a variety of new foods and always felt satiated. In fact, at first Brad was skeptical that he'd loose weight as under his Nutrisystem program, Brad was able to eat sizable portions. Better yet, Brad's sweet tooth was catered to, as his program included a daily desert.
In conjunction with his Nutrisystem diet, Brad incorporated a daily 30 minute walk into his lifestyle and took up golf. Whilst Brad, set a goal of losing 10 pounds a week, till he reached his ideal weight, the pounds melted off, sooner than he expected. In fact, Brad was so shocked by his rapid weight loss that he consulted his local physician, who looked over Brad's diet and conducted a few tests. After which, his physician gave Brad's Nurtisystem his backing.
As well as transforming his lifestyle and losing 54 pounds, Brad has taken inches off his waist line. At his heaviest Brad's waist measured 44 inches, now Brad's waist measures just 36 inches. Better yet, Brad no longer suffers from the same severity of back and hip pain, as he isn't carrying any extra weight. Due to the Nutrisystem program, Brad has a new lease on life. He's landed a new job, which he loves and is able to spend more quality time with his wife, who supported him through each of his deployments.
So if you're a military veteran who is struggling to maintain a healthy weight, take a leaf out of Brad's book and seriously consider taking up Nutrisystem's offer to help you overhaul your diet by taking advantage of the military Nutrisystem coupon code. Not only will you lose weight and become more active but you'll also increase your confidence and enjoy a greater quality of life!

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – This month, students across Alabama are taking end of year tests. While the children are busy answering questions, some parents are asking them. The introduction of new tests, related to Alabama's implementation of Common Core standards, has raised concerns among some opponents of the initiative.
In April, the State Superintendent of Education released a memo to school districts, providing guidance on how to handle students who ask to opt-out of the tests. Governor Robert Bentley followed with a promise that an absence from the ACT Aspire test would be counted like any other absence.
However, ACT Aspire, currently being given to students in grades 3-8, is the only test from which students may opt-out. Officials say the rest of the state assessments are mandatory. That includes ACT Explore, given to 8th graders; ACT Plan, given to 10th graders; the ACT college entrance exam, offered free this year to 11th graders; and ACT WorkKeys. WorkKeys is being given to some 12th graders this year, including those in Huntsville. It will be administered to all Alabama high school seniors in 2015. ACT QualityCore tests, given to students taking certain subjects, are also mandatory.
Huntsville City Schools Deputy Superintendent Dr. Barbara Cooper says that's because these test scores count toward the student's final class grade. Dr. Cooper adds, ""those are not assessments that can be opted out because…they inform instruction and provide a guide to make sure we're providing the very best instruction we can for students." Students wishing to opt-out of ACT Aspire should present their request in writing to the school. More information on the ACT assessments may be found at the Alabama State Department of Education website.

Are you tired of giving run of the mill gifts?
Do the holidays stress you out because you are trying to get the perfect gift for everyone on your list?
A short time ago, I stepped away from the madness of standard gift giving. I made a commitment to give only consumable gifts and then, chose to do my best to make them. At present, my cousin (front row on the left) and I (one in sunglasses with crazy hair, blowing in the wind) create our Christmas gifts together. We assemble gift bags of our favorite things for our favorite people; personalized just enough to make it extra special. This year the bags will include:
Homemade tomato soup which we canned when tomatoes were in season
Blackberry jam that we harvested from our backyard bramble
Spiced and roasted almonds
English toffee and buttery caramels from Grandma Leila's famous recipe
and our best gift yet: a one-of-a-kind recycled Comfort & Joy cashmere scarf.
The crazy photo above was taken last weekend at our family's craft retreat in Wyoming. This year, Cousin Kris and I set out to make cashmere scarves for everyone. We raided all the Goodwills and ARCs in Denver for cashmere sweaters, cut out all the 10" stripes we could and created piles of colors. We let everyone choose 12 stripes (with design assistance) and then, sewed them together. All the women above are pictured wearing the scarf they designed and we made. It was the funnest Christmas gift creation we have ever done. Below is a photo of the stripes in piles ready to be put together.
DIY or click here to BUY
Want to make your own? Here's how:
What you need:
6-8 cashmere sweaters
rotary cutter, ruler and cutting pad (from a hobby or sewing store)
or sharp scissors and 10" wide cardboard rectangular patterns (templates) of various lengths
sewing machine
1. Go to the local Goodwill or ARC and buy bright cashmere sweaters in the colors you want for your scarf(s). I recommend 7-8 different colors per scarf though you will want 12-14 stripes of color in each scarf (there should be some repetition). If there are holes in the cashmere, just cut around them. Usually, the store will give you a good discount if you find holes in the sweaters, so it is not a bad thing.
2. Wash the sweaters in warm water and dry them in the dryer. You DO want them to shrink (or felt) a bit. This makes them super soft and cozy and removes stains and dirt. NOTE: cashmere does not shrink as much as wool.
3. First, cut off the ribbing at the bottom so that the sweater lays flat.
4. Then, cut 10" wide stripes out of the body of the sweater as long as you like or can get. As you can see from the above photo, I am cutting two stripes at a time 5" long toward the bottom and two more 7" stripes above that. You can open up the sleeves and usually get at least one 10" wide stripe out of each sleeve. You will want to cut stripes wherever you can find a 10" wide piece of cashmere to cut, hopefully without holes. You want the length of the stripes to vary so that you have variety in the scarf. There are quite a bit of scraps with this project, which you can use for future projects or to patch holes you did not see until the scarf was done.
5. Arrange the stripes in the order you want them to appear in the scarf and pin the stripes together, making sure that the right sides of the cashmere are pinned together.
6. Using a regular straight stitch on your sewing machine, stitch the pieces together, making sure to backstitch for 1" on each end because you will have to trim off some of the edge. Because the stripes are all different colors, we picked one thread color to use throughout the entire scarf. The contrasting thread is fun.
7. Once all the pieces are stitched together, lay the scarf out and find your narrowest piece. Trim the edges of the other strips to match the narrowest piece. We have had to cut off up to 1" before, so do not worry.
Because cashmere does not typically unravel, you do not have to finish the edges and your scarf is complete.
Care instructions: Hand wash in cool/cold water with gentle soap, lay flat to dry.
If this sounds like too much work, we can make it for you. Click the above "CLICK HERE TO BUY" button and we will make your one-of-a-kind Comfort & Joy cashmere scarf. In the "comments" section of the check out page, give us three to five colors you would like to see in the scarf and perhaps colors to avoid, and we will make one up in plenty of time for Christmas. We are low on greens and will do our best to follow your color choice. These scarves are supremely soft and beautiful, versatile and warm. Price: $63.00.

Bodybuilder is one of the first to enter Bristol hunk competition
Posted: April 25, 2013|
A BODYBUILDER who used to fake sick letters from his mum to avoid school PE lessons is among the first entrants in a new competition to find the Bristol Hunk.
James Grealish, who is now a competitive bodybuilder, struggled with his weight as a teenager and rather than attend PE lessons at Ashton Park School used to forge letters from his mum saying he was sick.
But the telesales manager from Southville soon got himself into shape after discovering a love of weight training and now, at the age of 26, is a competitive bodybuilder and wannabe model.
James, who has been bodybuilding for a year, has been training hard over the last few months to take part in the National Amateur Bodybuilding Association West Britain competition in Exeter this month.
He does an hour of cardio vascular training and two hours of weight training six days a week to maintain his physique.
He also keeps to a strict diet when preparing for competitions – such as protein-rich foods such as chicken, turkey and fish.
At the competition James will have to perform a number of mandatory poses infront of a panel of judges who will mark him on his physique.
James, who is also training to be a personal trainer, decided to enter the Bristol Hunk competition after being photographed by a former paparazzi snapper.
The competition is being run by Bristol Shopping Quarter in partnership with the Bristol Post to find the hunkiest fella in the city.
James said: "I was contacted by a former paparazzi photographer who wanted to take some pictures of me.
"I put them on the internet and they got a good response from people who liked my look.
"Ideally I want to be able to make a living out of how I look, whether it is from modelling, personal training or bodybuilding.
"I thought now would be a good time to enter a competition like this to give me some experience and perhaps raise my profile."
James's girlfriend Sarah, 31, who he has been dating for five years, is supportive of her boyfriend's career aspirations.
James, who has two pug dogs Vito and Frankie, added: "Sarah is supportive of what I do although she is still getting used to me taking my clothes off in front of the camera."
● Bristol Shopping Quarter has teamed up with the Bristol Post to launch a competition to find the Bristol Hunk.
Any man over the age of 18 can enter and be in with a chance of winning £1,000, a professional photoshoot with Mustard Models and become the face of Bristol Shopping Quarter.
Entrants need to complete the online entry form and send a high resolution picture of themselves from the waist upwards by May 1.
All entrants will be featured in a supplement online on May 2 and voting will then take place until May 8.
The top 10 hunks with the most votes will be showcased to a panel of judges from Mustard Models and Bristol News and Media who will decide who will take the title of Bristol Hunk 2013.

The insider - Paul Routledge reveals indecency in Reading
Dirty tricks and indecency in Reading, what the pagers said, and Jowell's persuasive skills
Dirty tricks and indecency in Reading, what the pagers said, and Jowell's persuasive skills
by Paul Routledge Published
Labour MPs and ministers are so relieved about the Hutton report that they do not seem to understand that, come election time, the breakdown with the Lib Dems over the Butler inquiry could prove fatal. By banning his establishment-hungry frontbencher Alan Beith from taking part in Whitewash 2 - The Movie, Charlie Kennedy has left himself a clear run when the second verdict of not guilty is brought in by Tony Blair's hand-picked cronies. Naturally, Downing Street was at pains to point out that it always knew it would have to set up a second inquiry, and was only waiting for the PM to be cleared by Lord Whitewash. To silent hoots of derision, the more-or-less undisgraced spin-doctor Tom Kelly told the lobby: "The question about the Prime Minister's integrity has passed, and it is a better atmosphere to answer these questions [about WMDs] now."
The gulf of cynicism between the hacks and the politicians has never been greater.
Reading, a dull place enlivened only by the jailing of Oscar Wilde more than a century ago, is now the hotbed of new Labour controversy. Moves to deselect Jane Griffiths, MP for Reading East, have reached fever pitch. Her uncomradely neighbour Martin "the Assaulter" Salter MP has been parading Tony Page, a fortysomething lobbyist, round the Commons as the right man for the job. Page asked Janet Anderson, the former tourism minister, for a reference and was invited to mate elsewhere. Perhaps this has something to do with Page's record, including indecency and matters of a cottage nature, which have figured mightily on the local paper's front page. Even so, Page took more votes at a reselection meeting than Griffiths. The final decision is on 22 February.
Great thing, these pagers. But embarrassing. In the Strangers' Bar at 5.45pm on Tuesday, Labour MPs reached for their electronic tags, to be told about "lines to take" in the next day's Prime Minister's Questions on "training, economy, jobs, housing, the £ and Accident & Emergency". The idea that MPs need to be told these things is laughable. But at least we now know that PMQs is as total a fix as Downing Street can make it.
I was banned from Alastair Campbell's farewell bash on the terrace of the House of Lords (a hint, here?), so I cannot bring you a verbatim report of the unctuous proceedings. But as and when details surface from this gathering of the great and the bad, I will bring them to you.
Postscript to that vote on student fees. On the eve of the critical Commons division, the saintly Culture Secretary, Tessa Jowell, and her PPS Gordon Marsden took four rebels to dinner. Such was Jowell's ratiocinative skill that three of the four still joined the revolt. The odd one out? The lawyer Stephen Hesford (Pusillanimity West). Yet he came out of the meal moaning that Jowell had made him more inclined to vote against. What a hero. He will go far, but not very.
In their analysis of the division, the academics Philip Cowley and Mark Stuart noted that David Taylor (Doublethink North-West) voted for and against, in order to register an abstention. Without Tory votes, the government's majority would have been one. There was no deal (as had been rumoured) with the SDLP, whose four MPs voted against. Nineteen Labour MPs went missing, but not AWOL. The whips were particularly free with their exeats (for some) that night.

When we were just youngsters, our parents helped most of us learn the difference between right and wrong. We learned that "right" was generally in accord with morality, justice, law, propriety, and the common good, for example.
On the other hand, our parents also taught us that "wrong" was about immorality, injustice, illegality, impropriety, and the common bad (to coin a phrase). In short, we learned as kids that we should be mindful not to do what we knew to be wrong and instead do what we knew to be right.
As adults, many of us consider ourselves to be humanitarians. When we act humanely, we are seen as having the good qualities of humans, including compassion, kindness, benevolence, and mercy. In an ideal world, each one of us would be humane-and collectively, all of humanity would exhibit the qualities that flow out of the word "humane."
The Golden Rule comes to mind, whereby we are taught that we should behave toward others as we would have others behave toward us. In the case of this rule, "others" is most commonly taken to mean other humans-other people-regardless of their ethnic background or religious beliefs. I propose that we take a big step forward as "humane humans" and include ALL members of what we call the animal kingdom—not just the human component of that kingdom.
Having made this quantum leap in recognition and understanding, we can see that just as humans have what we call human rights, animals have what we call animal rights. It's also important to see that these two sets of rights are compatible and essentially one and the same. If you support one set, you must logically support the other.
Check back next week for part 2 of this post.
This article was written by Craig Cline of Salem, Oregon. Cline is an animal issues advocate who is continuing to evolve toward becoming a "humane-itarian" and helping to right "animal wrongs" as part of that evolution.

Promotional Mugs and Drinkware
Promotional mugs and drinkware are always a popular choice among those in charge of promotional buys at businesses, organizations and schools. They are very functional and a high quality set of mugs or other drinkware has a great chance of being used by recipients over and over again. Get your message out there in people's hands with great items to give away. Buy in bulk and save even more on your purchase, extending your buying power and leveraging your marketing budget to the fullest.
Customers Drink in Your Message
Promotional efforts designed to enhance your branding and promote name recognition are dependent upon the extent to which customers or other targets are receptive to the message being sent. If you are trying to send a great message or you just want to thank customers for their support, think about using promotional products printed with your logo or advertising slogan as a means to that end. With great products they can use, customers will drink in your message both literally and metaphorically.
For example, promotional travel mugs are always a huge hit among trade and business people. They are somewhat of a conversation piece or almost a status symbol in certain circles. The all important coffee break or that stop at the gas station for a refill out on the road are some of our coping mechanisms for surviving long and stressful workdays. Let recipients know you can feel their pain. Imply through this gift that you wouldn't mind sharing a chat over coffee some time yourself.
Simple pleasures make life bearable for all of us. Customers are in this category just like we are. Share great gifts like oversized corporate coffee mugs and give them something really unique to remember you by long after the job is done. Promotional mugs and drinkware are some of the easiest promotional gifts to get and to give out because of their popularity for recipients (make sure you order enough for everyone in your office, too) and because of the low cost to you.
Communicate Messages with Free Gifts
Mugs and drinkware with your logo and slogan are among many promotional products you could use to communicate messages to customers. They are like a business card, only much more useful and more likely to be kept around long after your first contact with the customer. Promotional mugs and drinkware are inexpensive. Buying promotional mugs and drinkware is something you can squeeze into even a limited marketing budget.
Maybe you would like your drinkware to simply say your company name and give a phone number and listing of your products and services. Or perhaps the promotional mugs and drinkware you order is intended to do more, like advertise for a cause you support. Whatever its intended purpose marketing wise, an order of coffee cups or other top quality drinkware can help you get the message across. And when you order your products in bulk like this, you can get them very cheap. This means you can bestow fancy travel mugs or handy sports bottles to your own hardworking employees as well as customers. Pass them out in trade shows or give them out in lieu of business cards when you drop estimates off at customers' houses.
Quality Drinkware at Low Prices
Promotional mugs and drinkware are a great option for any business or organization to help them breathe new life into their marketing campaign. Build your corporate brand. Thank old customers and invite new ones. Put together a bulk order of top quality low cost promotional mugs and drinkware and get started.


text: Happy Drizzy Week! Fresh off the release of third album, Nothing Was The Same, Drake has dropped the new video for "Hold On We're Going Home." The official clip transports the Toronto star back to '80s Miami, where he's the boss of a (likely shady) burgeoning empire consisting of A$AP Rocky, Majid Jordan, and the rest of his OVO buddies. The kind of power they've established helps get them exclusive tables at fancy clubs, but it also makes them and the ones they love potential targets. Borrowing heavily from mob classics by casting Scarface actor Steven Bauer, what we get is a crime caper that allows Drake to emote around lingerie AND shoot a gun while his friends rock Flock of Seagulls hair.

David Gaviria rides the Big Kahuna wave to a Top Five Finish while Austin Dehaven delivers a personal best with the Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown Industries team
NEWS September 24, 2012
Photo by Brian J Nelson
Press Release for the Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown Industries team prepared by the Hasten Media Group.
(September 26, 2012) - David Gaviria is gaining some serious momentum. As the 2011 AMA Pro Western SuperSport Champion, David joined the Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown team half way through the season and it's obvious to see that the machine, rider and crew are really starting to come together. In the AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike race 2 at Mid-Ohio Gaviria finished 22nd, at Laguna Seca he finished 12th, in New Jersey he placed 12th in race 1 and worked his way inside the top 10 for a 9th place finish in race 2. At the Homestead Miami Big Kahuna he qualified 12th but improved a spot when he finished 11th on Saturday. On Sunday, David Gaviria delivered his best performance of the year with a top 5 finish.
It's been quite a journey for Gaviria who found himself searching for a team half way through the season. What's unique about David is that he has to fly back and forth from Medellin, Columbia to the states to attend the AMA Pro Racing rounds. Thanks to an extensive group of fans and supporters, along with the Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown Industries team, Gaviria has been able to improve round after round after round and has no plans of stopping any time soon.
David Gaviria is not the only Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown Industries team member that has recently been gaining momentum. Austin Dehaven who returned to racing at Homestead Miami after a motorcross accident broke bones in his foot thought he had delivered his best finish of the year on Saturday in the AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike class. Dehaven was able to top his performance on Saturday with an even better finish on Sunday when he came well inside the top 10 with an 8th place finish.
Tommy Aquino had a solid 7th place finish on Saturday, but ran into some bad luck on Sunday when the aluminum shifter bolt snapped off. When he ran into a couple issues with his bike on Saturday, Benny Solis did not run on Sunday.
After a 2nd place podium finish on Saturday, Stefano Mesa sat down with the Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown team to come up with a winning strategy for Sunday. When it came to tire choice they knew that most teams would run the soft and went with the hard tire to finish strong. Everything was going according to plan, in lap 7 Mesa was in 6th, lap 8 he moved up to 5th. In lap 9 Stefano move up another spot to 4th and continued to charge. As Mesa worked his way through the field and quickly closed in on the leaders a red flag came out in lap 10 that ended the race. Stefano Mesa had the 2nd fastest lap time of the race, Dustin Dominguez laid down a 1:26.195 with Stefano about a tenth behind him with a 1:26.231. Sometimes the red flag goes your way and sometimes it doesn't but it doesn't take away from an incredible performance by Stefano Mesa and the entire Kneedraggers.com/Triplecrown Industries team.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, buying a digital video camera involves a series of tradeoffs to get the best possible features you can afford. By planning ahead before you make your purchase, you can better anticipate where your camera will get used and extend its functional life in the process. The most important thing you can do before making a decision is to sit down and make a list of the features that the camera carries.

HTC XV6175 Verizon smartphone spotted
A render of the HTC XV6175 A has emerged, prior to its Verizon branding. The QWERTY handset is particularly interesting because it's believed to incorporate both CDMA and GSM connectivity. The GSM Global Certification Forum have already confirmed that the XV6175 has quadband GSM support, but no UMTS/HSPA.
Given that Verizon have an EVDO Rev.A network, not an HSDPA/HSUPA one, that's no great hardship, and we'd expect to see the high-speed CDMA data connection in there too (though obviously of no interest to the GCF). The hope is that this comes through the pipe as a Verizon World Phone - a handset which can be used to make calls and - albeit slowly - access data when outside the US.

DEC 26 - At a meeting on economic and social development and reform held on Wednesday, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that urbanization will be the main driver of China's economic growth in the future and the country should gradually convert migrant workers to urban residents through reform of the hukou, or household residence registration system.
Li's remarks, together with the message from the just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference, are a clear singal that China's new leadership views urbanization as a key part of its efforts to launch a new round of reforms.
As the conference highlighted, China will establish a scientific scheme for the development of its large, middle and small cities, one that actively and steadily advances intensive, green and low-carbon urbanization. That means China will pursue higher quality urbanisation and seek to really integrate migrant workers, who are usually excluded from cities' welfare networks, into urban areas. Higher quality urbanisation also means more efficient use of newly acquired land instead of blind expansion. In this process, farmers should have more access to sharing the country's "urbanisation dividend" instead of their interests being compromised due to the expropriation of their land.
The emphasis China's new leadership has put on urbanisation is in the context of the lingering global economic slowdown and declining economic benefits from export and investment expansion. This situation, however, also offers China the opportunity to introduce more viable measures to boost its weak domestic demand and its capabilities for innovation, pushing forward the transformation of the country's economic development model.
The remarks made by Party chief Xi Jinping during a recent inspection tour of Guangdong province and the recent stress put on the "reform dividend" by Vice-Premier Li Keqiang were unambiguous signals that a new round of economic reforms will be launched. Pushing for a new style of urbanisation is undoubtedly a good way to start such reforms.
China has huge potential to advance its urbanisation given that a half of its population still lives in rural areas. Currently, the country's urbanisation ratio is about 51 percent - some experts estimate the country's real urbanisation ratio is 35 percent if those who have settled in cities but failed to gain a hukou in them are taken into account - such a ratio is far below that of some developing countries at a similar development stage, not to mention developed countries, where the urbanisation ratio is more than 70 percent. However, this means China still has huge potential to raise its urbanisation ratio in the years ahead.
According to some experts' estimates, China's urbanisation ratio will rise by one percentage point every year during the next 20 years. This would mean the country would have 65 percent of its population living in urban areas by 2025. Together with the estimated 200 million living in cities without an urban hukou, this would mean an additional 400 million urban residents in the next 10 years. According to the calculation that there is 100,000 yuan ($16,000) of investment in infrastructure and public services for each urban resident, China would need to invest an additional 40 trillion yuan as a result of urbanisation in the coming decade, which is equivalent to its gross domestic product in 2011. Such a colossal investment is sure to have a positive and widespread influence on the national economy.
Aside from the huge investment potential it will create, urbanisation will also play a positive role in boosting domestic demand. Statistics show that urban residents' consumption capacity is usually three times that of their rural counterparts. This means that an increase in the country's urbanisation ratio of one percentage point will result in an additional 1.4 percent increase in the volume of consumer goods sold. The increased consumption resulting from a raised urbanisation ratio will undoubtedly help change long-running imbalances in China's economic structure.
To promote the higher quality urbanisation mapped out by the new leadership, China should reform its rural land system and raise the current levels of compensation for the expropriation of rural land. It should also establish a rural land shareholding system and promote the smooth transfer of collective rural land. The country should also try to reform its long-controversial dual urban-rural household residence system and forgo the long-held practice that closely links people's hukou to their eligibility for local welfare services. Without changing this, the efforts to convert migrant workers to city residents will go nowhere.
Promoting balanced development between urban and rural services and setting up a unified public service system are also expected to be on the new leadership's agenda. These demand practical measures be taken to tilt fiscal revenues from the central government to local governments.
China's remarkable economic achievements over the last three decades and its status as the world's second-largest economy are the result of reform and opening-up. It can be expected that new reforms to promote a new style of urbanisation will lead the country to even greater heights.

There are a few options that could work {although I have not personally tried any of them}. Maybe spray paint? That would be the easiest. Or using a decorative fabric on the exterior of the drawer {maybe with adhesive and a protective coating?}. Maybe even adding some brightly colored fabric inside or a pretty label on the outside.

Best of luck!

I have this exact same wardrobe unit in my bedroom and I have the same problem, with stacking jeans, T-shirts and sweaters on the shelves with wasted space. LOL...Just like you, I have tried the baskets, but I absolutely love what you have done with your wardrobe unit. LOVE IT!!!

It looks so great, that I made a trip to the only Container store in my area which is about an hour away to invest in the Platinum elfa Mesh Pantry Storage.

I would like to get the same exact customizable drawer sizes (mix and match), like you have for my unit. Would you be able to provide me the drawer sizes so that I can purchase them for my unit?

Thank you,

Yes, still loving the Elfa like crazy. It really ended up being the perfect solution to the wardrobe. You may be able to find something similar and less expensive at IKEA. I haven't been there in awhile, but maybe they have new pieces that fit?

I really wouldn't change a thing, the setup has been really wonderful for me.

Thank you again!

I know this is an older post, but I just stubbled upon the pinterest pin through a google search (don't you love to know how traffic reached your blog? haha).
I love how you organized your Aspelund wardrobe. This is exactly what I have been search for endlessly. I bough the wardrobe not to long ago, I love the spaciousness that this affordable and relatively small wardrobe provides, but I hate the lack of organization it offers.
Are you still finding this to be a good organizational plan or have you amended anything. Do you know of any other storage system close to the Elfa one?
Excellent job, by the way - I'm sure you know that by now though ;).
Thanks!

I know this is an old post, but we have this exact same wardrobe and I was looking to put some elfa drawers in it as well. However, I have a question for you. The measurments on the Container Store's website say the drawers are 20 3/4" deep but my wardrobe is only 19 5/8" deep...but they obviously worked for you. I guess my question is: are the measurements on the website off or have the drawer sizes changed since you purchased yours?Tara email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-31679078232875289712013-01-06T15:33:09.159-06:002013-01-06T15:33:09.159-06:00Ikea has a similiar system and I love it for aroun...Ikea has a similiar system and I love it for around 20.00 I have a 6 drawer unit.

I'm in love with your blog and i love your philosophy of "simplifying!" =D

This is undoubtedly the BEST, most practical and real-life! closet organization/layout i've come across (and i've been scouring them as we're about to set up our first home in europe!)

We will also be using wardrobe/armorie (2-door each unfortunately due to space, i wish i could have your 3-door seems so much more functional!!) and i was htinking of installing drawers at the bottom where your shoes are, but that cart system would be a lot more flexible inside the 2-door than a drawer since we'd have to bend to open drawers vs. the cart which is quite high.

Thank you SO much for sharing!!lilychenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-34031082693797555612012-08-23T17:47:08.537-05:002012-08-23T17:47:08.537-05:00Here is the link (IKEA UK) http://www.ikea.com/gb...Here is the link (IKEA UK)

Very nice armoire! I live in Europe where closets, especially walk-ins, are not common at all, therefore, we have to use armoires. We have the Ikea PAX system and I wanted to let you know that another option for you is to buy a double hanging rod, available at IKEA in the wardrobe/armoire section. I have one and what is great about it is that it is only half a double rod, meaning I can have my dresses hanging long on one side and the two shorter sections on the other side. I am sure that the Container Store would have a double-hanging rod email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-13731649757164092062012-08-02T11:16:45.843-05:002012-08-02T11:16:45.843-05:00Hi Emily!

Mahtook, Bulls power past Louisville
It had become a running joke in the Durham Bulls clubhouse because Mikie Mahtook's solid season with the Bulls had yet to include a home run.
On Sunday, Mahtook and the Bulls had a last laugh together.
Mahtook smacked a two-run homer, his first of the season, as the Bulls hit three balls over the fences in a 6-2 win over Louisville at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
A .301 hitter this season, Mahtook had 16 home runs over the last two seasons at Class A Charlotte (Fla.) and Class AA Montgomery.
His Durham teammates had some good-natured fun with his lack of homers this season so far.
"Going through two months without one is not the norm," Mahtook said. "It's nice to get one out today."
Mahtook's blast, with one out in the fourth inning, erased Louisville's 2-1 lead and put the Bulls up for good at 3-2. Wilson Betemit and Vince Belnome added solo home runs in the sixth inning for Durham (26-19).
"I was getting kind of frustrated because we were getting hits but not the big hits," Durham manager Charlie Montoyo said. "But we hit three out. That helps."
Durham's power outburst supported strong pitching from Mike Montgomery, Jake Thompson and Kirby Yates.
Montgomery (5-1) lasted into the seventh inning, allowing just six hits and two runs while striking out four. He threw 98 pitches to cover 6 ⅓ innings.
"Early on I wanted to establish my fastball," said Montgomery, who walked four. "Command was OK. I was battling that the whole game. On the second time through the order I decided to attack with everything. I started to get more comfortable. I was trying to let them hit it in play."
The Bulls turned three double plays behind Montgomery. The first came in the first inning after Louisville put two runners on with one out. The double play ended the inning.
"I was at the point where I said let's just get early contact and let the defense do their job," Montgomery said.
In the third inning, the Bats lead-off man reached on a single before Montgomery induced the double-play grounder from ex-Bull Jason Bourgeois. That proved important when the next three Louisville players singled. Felix Perez drove in one run and another came in on Montgomery's wild pitch for a 2-1 Louisville lead.
But in the fourth inning, Vince Belnome singled with one out off Bats starting pitcher Tim Crabbe. Mahtook sliced an outside pitch down the line in right field and the ball just cleared the fence in the corner for a home run.
"It was a fastball middle-away a little bit," Mahtook said. "Honestly I didn't think I got it. It was one of those things where I hadn't hit one all year. Not that I can't hit them. It had become a running joke. I hit it to the right part of the park."

Depression and Anxiety
Download the Depression and Anxiety Healthy Info Sheet Here
When depression and anxiety interfere with your life, professional help can offer valuable support.
What are the differences between normal sadness and depression or nervousness and anxiety? Sometimes it's not so easy to determine the differences.
Where do I find help if I think I am suffering from depression or anxiety?
To help determine if a person is depressed, it is critical to know his or her medical history including healthy or unhealthy behaviors such as drug use, eating, and physical activity. Other information regarding a person's surroundings or past experiences such as family history and living environment are important. Other questions to ask include: Have any relatives had depression? What's happening at home? Has there been recent stress? Is the patient alone, or does he or she have lots of friends? Does he or she find pleasure in things that are normally enjoyable? Does he or she sleep well? Does the person look depressed? Does he or she make eye contact?
What should a health care provider do if he/she suspects depression?
If the person answers "yes" to either or both questions, more screening is needed. Sometimes you can learn a lot by simply asking: Are you depressed? Few doctors ask this. If the answer is "yes," even fewer doctors ask the patient whether they've thought about suicide. These are very important questions to ask.
What should family or friends consider if they suspect depression?
What are the symptoms of clinical depression?
What causes depression?
Who is at high risk for depression?
Depression is linked to family history. If one person has depression, his family members are more likely to have depression at some time. In identical twins this link is clear. If one twin is depressed, the chance of the other twin being depressed is 46 percent.
Stress, especially chronic stress, plays a role in depression. This stress could be from home, school or work, or from something else like a surgery. Depression is more common following a major personal loss, such as the death of a parent.
Low self-esteem is associated with depression, which is one reason why people with Spina Bifida are more likely to be depressed. Other risk factors include decreased social support and isolation. Learned helplessness — where people feel that there is nothing they can do to improve their situations — may contribute to depression.
How is anxiety related to depression?
One type of anxiety disorder is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Signs include repeated, purposeful behaviors that try to reduce anxiety. Behaviors may include repeated hand washing, counting objects and needing objects to be arranged in a certain order. Severe OCD interferes with functioning and should be treated. The good news is that anxiety and depression are treatable!
How are depression and anxiety treated?
Drugs and counseling may be needed. Today's drugs of choice are the SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), which include Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and Serzone. Each drug has its own side effects that can be different in each person. Sometimes these side effects can be severe. It is important not to stop the drugs suddenly. Taper off instead. A sudden stop can cause dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea and/or insomnia.
Counseling (including a type called cognitive-behavioral therapy) can be crucial, especially with anxiety. Counseling also helps if the person has low self-esteem or learned helplessness. Sometimes it's very helpful for the entire family to receive counseling. Drugs alone won't improve self-esteem or stop behaviors based on learned helplessness.
How long do you treat depression with drugs?
