Creative Ways to Teach Your Kids How to Say No to Drugs
The teen years can be a time of great anxiety for parents. Just as your child is really beginning to assert their own independence and starting to test boundaries, the very real concern all parents feel about raising teenagers begin to loom ominously – grades, sex, peer pressure, and possibly most frightening of all, the perils of illegal drug use and addiction.
Alarming statistics

Okay. If I haven't made this point clear in the past, let me try again.
People are INUNDATED with information, 24 x 7. If yours doesn't have the potential to minimally raise an eyebrow, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!
I've experienced this firsthand in my own entrepreneurial endeavors and it never ceases to amaze me how some people just don't care about contributing to the overload. They have something to say and darn it, it shall be said. The only problem is, oftentimes, NOBODY…Continue

You have probably been invited for baby showers and parties to celebrate the birth of a beautiful bouncing baby. The new parents are usually filled with so much happiness which is clearly visible in their beaming faces. It is indeed a merry time for everybody to welcome this bundle of joy. Every invited person wants to hold the baby, make faces to see its reaction and shower it with gifts. Having a baby is both joyous and stressing. It comes with loads of responsibilities for both parents.…Continue

There are hobby inks which applied with a brush on to your textile and when you iron it after dried , it would pop up like carbon. That came to my mind instantly. How can anyone use that advantage ?
ps. There are ten thousand of pu formulas out there and good quality comes 4 dollar per liter. There is transparent ones also. Polyurethane foams can be raw surfaced to metal sheen and flatness.
All the car interiors are covered with pu foam generatives. From the vitesse stick to textiles to dashboard.
I cant imagine a analog way now but inkjet and calibrating the flow to degree of pop up is looks promising.
What would be the color of ink or inks ? Semitransparent looks promising but I did not see a carbon print yet.
May be a heat iron or may be microwave oven completes it.

To the Editor:—
The role of adrenal steroid treatment as a cause of pancreatitis was reported by Schrier and Bulger ("Steroid-Induced Pancreatitis," 194:564, 1965). The diagnosis of pancreatitis was supported by only two findings: (1) "Epigastric and right-upper-quadrant pain which radiated to the back," and (2) One serum amylase determination measuring 284 units/100 cc. Penetrating peptic ulcer as a cause of the hyperamylasemia was excluded by the normal gastrointestinal x-ray films and a lack of symptomatic response to antacids.Notably absent was a report of the abdominal findings at the time of the pain. In a case in which all the findings relative to the "pancreatitis" could be explained by disease of the biliary tree, no radiographic or chemical studies of biliary function are recorded. There was insufficient evidence to justify a diagnosis of pancreatitis.There was little reason to attribute the elevated serum amylase to prednisone rather than

Iran will offer insurance coverage to all ships in its waters: Official
In line with providing marine insurance coverage for ships and defying [the US-engineered] sanctions, we accept responsibility to insure any ship that enters Iranian territorial waters." Managing Director of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization Seyyed Ataollah SadrIran's deputy transportation minister and managing director of the country's Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) has announced a plan that would provide insurance coverage for all Iranian and foreign ships entering the country's waters. "In line with providing marine insurance coverage for ships and defying [the US-engineered] sanctions, we accept responsibility to insure any ship … that enters Iranian territorial waters," said Seyyed Ata'ollah Sadr on Tuesday in the Caspian Sea Port of Amirabad.
He added that, to avert maritime insurance limitations devised by the enemy, the Islamic Republic has taken measures in collaboration with Iranian insurance firms to provide the required coverage for all ships that gain entry to the country's waters.Sadr further announced the investment of 5,000 billion Riyals ($410 million) in the Amirabad commercial harbor on the sidelines of an inauguration ceremony of a new 25,000-ton grain transit silo at the port, adding that its current capacity stands at 4.5 million tons, which will climb to 10 million tons during the next phase of its development plan. Additionally, Sadr put the current estimate of the capacity of cargo loading and unloading at Iran's northern sea ports at 20 million tons, saying it would increase to 50 million tons following the fifth development plan. The Islamic Republic's maritime official also stated that the present share of Iranian shipping in the Caspian Sea stands at 25 percent which is set to double by the end of the Fifth Five-Year Development Plan (2015), provided that more ships are added to the country's maritime shipping lines. Under US pressure, the European Union (EU) implemented sanctions against Iranian oil and financial sectors on July 1. The US-engineered sanctions bar some EU member states from purchasing Iran's oil or extending insurance coverage for tankers carrying Iranian crude. Washington has also imposed its own embargo on Iranian oil, penalizing other nations for purchasing or selling the country's crude. The new US sanctions took effect on June 28. The US-led bans are intended to exert pressure on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear energy program, which Washington, the Israeli regime and some of their allies claim may include a non-civilian diversion. Iran has vehemently rejected such allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to use nuclear technology for peaceful objectives.

7 positivity practices for skeptics
Lately there's been a lot of talk about "practicing positivity"—and not all of it is coming from the mountain top.
The Happiness Project to Daily Love and Positively Positive have become happy-making phenoms. And in fitness classes like IntenSati and Circuit of Change, instructors point out that "Whatever we focus on, becomes our reality." And, hey, if that's true, they might as well be happy thoughts.
So we tapped several (super sophisticated) spiritual seekers for simple practices that even busy skeptics can use to get positive. —Carla Vass and Melisse Gelula
Whatever we focus on becomes our reality. When we work on our internal life by reciting positive words, our energies and outlook benefits. I find it super helpful to create an "I am" list, and put it somewhere visible—tacked up on your mirror?—and recite it daily. It could be something like this:
I am happy
I am grateful
I am capable
I am understanding
I am full of LOVE

Cutting-edge neuroscience teaches us that thinking stressful, negative thoughts can actually overdevelop the primitive "fight or flee" part of the brain. However, when we think positive, optimistic thoughts, we go into relaxation mode, which develops the prefrontal cortex where we do our most creative, life-fulfilling thinking. If you keep your brain in relaxation mode, you will habitually revert to a positive way of thinking.
Take a few minutes everyday to fantasize about something that makes you happy or laugh or that you're grateful for. Imagine yourself as you want to be. Get lost in the daydream. Habitual negative thoughts tend to close doors, while positive thoughts open doors to a life of possibility.
Something that I try to implement in my class is spending time (a ride or even a whole week of rides) devoting the practice to someone else in your world who is in need of your positive energy and focus and light.
We ALL can think of someone struggling with something greater that our own worries.
If you surrender the gift of your focus, care, love, heart, soul to the needs of another, the gifts to self are immeasurable. It's the most uplifting win-win situation.
Rupa Mehta, founder of the Nalini Method, author of Connect to Your One, philanthropist
It can be tough to stay positive when growing a business. Sometimes my business feels like an expensive hobby, while other times I feel like an unstoppable Olympic athlete.
Between all the highs and lows, I think it's necessary to be able to come back to a constant that can keep you positive during tough moments and can humble you during very successful moments.
That constant for me is having a clear personal and professional vision that I am committed to. My vision helps keep me on track.
I suggest writing your personal and professional vision down, having it easily accessible and making it part of your weekly routine to read.
Gabrielle Bernstein, motivational speaker and bestselling author of Add More ~ing to Your Life: A Hip Guide to Happiness and Spirit Junkie
Practice Random Acts of Kindness: Buy someone a coffee, hold the door for a stranger, send an anonymous love letter to a friend. You'll feel energized by your own kindness.
Dance Your Ass Off: Dancing is one of the best ways to shift your energy and get out of a bad mood. Turn on a hot Spotify mix and jam out in your bedroom. Close your eyes and dance your ass off. Don't worry, no one is watching.
Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, integrative physician, founder of The Morrison Center, author of Cleanse Your Body, Clear Your Mind
Try Ho'oponopono! This mouthful of a name for a Hawaiian meditative practice translates loosely as a phrase that you can repeat any time you have negative thoughts or are feeling depressed or anxious.
Pick a positive phrase and repeat it as many times as desired. It could be something as simple as "I love you." This tiny shift will cause mood to improve and, over time, will attract new, positive people or outcomes. Like attracts like.
Maggie Lyon, wellness and spirituality writer and holistic lifestyle consultant
Okay, stop whatever you're doing and sit quietly.
Drop out of your frantic head by taking a conscious breath and with the exhale release any tension or crazy angst you are holding. Feel your feet planted firmly on the ground.
If you are about to eat, slow down and do it with full focus! Really experience yourself. If you are about to write an email, do it with the same complete awareness. By giving yourself fully to the moment, stress is instantaneously cleared from your system.
Seriously, try it. It takes like two minutes to make this shift into mindfulness, and it can profoundly change how you feel.

Wow! Another great article by the Well and Good NYC staff. Congratulations. I would like to mention some related books (all based on solid research). First, there is a wonderful book by Barbara Fredrickson that focuses on the significant research on positivity. The book is titled "Positivity" and written by Fredrickson, copyright 2009. I have it in paperback and a kindle version. That should say a lot about how much I value this research stream and how well the book is put together. Also there is another similar vein of work on "flow" by Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi [pronounced sig-sent-me-holly]. There are two books by him that best describe flow theory and the meaning of it for everyday life: 1) "Flow: the psychology of optimal experience. Steps toward enhancing the quality of life" (c)1990 and 2) "Finding Flow: the psychology of engagement with everyday life" (c) 1997. Despite the age of these books the ideas are very current and related to happiness theory and to positivity. I would also like to mention three books on "happiness" which is also related to positivity: 1) Sonja Lyubomisky: "The How of Happiness" (c) 2007. "The Happiness Hypothesis: finding modern truth in ancient wisdom", by Jonathan Haidt (c) 2007. And finally Rick Hanson's book, "Buddha's Brain: the Practical Neuroscience of Happiness" (c) 2009. As you might guess, I am a student of these interwoven subjects and have successfully applied them to my meditation and mindfulness courses.

Thank you for a wonderful post. It is both powerful and positive to see so many diverse strategies in one article. Not everyone resonates to every option, so there's something here for each of us. And, even more important, some days I may be more drawn to a particular strategy. No more negative excuses…here's to positive actions!

Feeding of the 5,000
I'm preaching this Sunday at SAFMC from Matthew 14:13-21. If you've ever wondered what Jesus is like, this is a great passage. He's compassionate, self-sacrificing and powerful. He meets us in our scarcity and brings His abundance. He is so outside our world, yet participates in such a practical way, seen in the beautiful dichotomy between miraculous healing and the hospitality of serving dinner.
More on that Sunday.
But here's my question: do you see the miracle in the feeding of the 5,000? A few loaves and fishes become dinner with leftovers for a rather large crowd. For most, the miracle is in the divine multiplication of bread and fish, as if God somehow made it so that cutting bread in half would result in four halves, etc. But for some, the miracle is that people decided to get their secret stash of food out and share, but only after seeing the compassion of Jesus on the people.
In one hand, the miracle is God and God alone, and a literal multiplication of food.
in the other hand, the miracle is the response of the people being less selfish and actually sharing the food they were hoarding for themselves.
What do you think? A literal, miraculous multiplication of bread and fish? Or, was it the miracle of humans being less self-centered?
I'm really interested to hear what you think. You'll help this pastor (points to self) in sermon preparation.
Thanks for commenting here or on Facebook.
Jeep JK-8 Conversion Kit
Not since the last run of the Comanche circa 1992 has a Jeep enthusiast been able to buy a pickup Jeep. It's now possible to buy a Wrangler and then buy a conversion kit to turn it into a pickup. Like most Jeep accessories, the price is such that you'll need to open a line of credit and then hide it from your wife. Of course I'm kidding! That never happens!
Let me add this up, just so I feel like we're all on the same page:
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: $25,545
Conversion Kit: $5,995
Tax: $1,892
Total Before Dealer Incentive: $33,432
Dealer Incentive: $I need to check with our sales manager
You: What?
Dealer Incentive: $Well, the conversion kit has to be shipped from another state…
You: Okay
Dealer Incentive: $o it's $ettled! You agree! Shipping is 400%
You: 400% of what? The deal we made?
Dealer Incentive: No, 400% of MSRP!
You: Can I have my signature back?
This fictional account is just that: a fictional account. However, it just goes to show you how long it will take me to save my pennies and get a Jeep JK and her glorious conversion kit. Besides, just because it costs money doesn't mean I don't want one! Then again, utilities are kinda cool to have around the house.
I might be better off to juxtapose the JK-8 to the Jeep Scrambler CJ-8. In this case, you truly have a Wrangler/Renegade front and a pickup rear. Behold:
You can pick up one of these babies for around $10K. If carburetors aren't your thing, you could easily toss a new engine in for $2K, and, while you're at it, toss in a new transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, etc. You'll still be one step ahead of those expensive conversion kits. Plus, you'll get really good at applying and re-applying Bondo.
One factor that must be considered is that of child seats. You may be comfortable behind the wheel of your Scrambler, but where does the family sit? In the back? What is this, South Carolina?!? Friend, you need the CJ8 conversion kit, available in only 43 of our 50 states. See below:
That conversion kit might set you back a bit, but that way, you'll be able to make everyone comfortable. Take it from the children's allowance. What? You don't pay them enough? Then give them a raise! Do I need to figure out all of your parenting for you? $200/wk per child will suffice.
We had a Jeep Wrangler for a while, which made a lot of sense, provided you could just not consider finances. Oh, I miss it. And I fully understand why someone would put down the big bucks to get into Jeepin', but that's outside my reachin' right now. I'd like to think that streets paved with gold will be no problem for my JK-8, where environmentalists will finally be at peace and gas prices will be $0. And 0/10ths. Oh. Happy day.
r adam davidson once rode in a Jeep Scrambler that someone drove into a lake, making him jump out and get his shoes wet.
Discussion for Small Groups:
1. Talk about a time where you heard someone refer to a vehicle as a "Jeep" when it wasn't: Suzuik Sidekick, Ford Explorer, etc.
2. Think about how sad it is that sometimes people don't ever let their Jeep see mud, which is certainly their natural habitat. Talk about how you would trade even your newer Chevy Malibu for your neighbor's diamond-plated, freshly waxed YJ, followed by detailed descriptions about how you would destroy it.
3. Remember what kind of flowers your wife likes? Yeah. That'll come in handy.
Another Inspiring Weight Loss Story
I came across a great story on cnn.com about a guy named Jamil who went from 313 to 185 by exercising at night. He and I have a few parallels in our journey of descending from the 300 club.
First, Jamil realized that he needed to lose weight after seeing pictures of himself. For Jamil, it was a trip to Hawaii. For me, it was hosting a local rock and/or roll concert. I saw these pictures and thought "great Caesar's ghost — I had no idea I looked like that!" This expression is particularly meaningful because I was eating a Caesar salad — my second that day — when I said it.
By age 29 I weighed 318 pounds, at least according to a bathroom scale that technically can't exceed 300. When you weigh that much, you realize that most of the world, including our old bathroom scale, is designed for people who weigh less than 300, and, in many cases, less than 250 pounds. Look at the warning labels on ladders (up to 300!) or even bar stools (up to 225!). Look at the requirements for skydiving (up to 250, otherwise huge splat!).
I knew I needed to lose weight but was unsure about how to do it. Exercise & eat right: Thanks, motivational poster! But what do I do? Try to run? Am I too big to run? Do I lift weights? If I lift weights, am I not doing enough to lose weight? What do I not eat? Can Sour Cream & Onion chips really be that bad for you? It was then that someone told me about a program that I've blogged about before called "LoseIt". Simple, functional and actually kind of elegant, this iPhone software for calorie counting leads to results. This is not a paid endorsement. Yet.
Once I started counting calories, I learned how to eat. If I down a few Bavarian Creme donuts, at 250 calories each, not only have I used up 500 food cals, I also have the sadness of being hungry in an hour and not being able to eat until lunch, which will now be a confetti sized piece of turkey. Behavior modification is painful and effective.
At the same time, I was walking, which eventually became running. It is amazing what kind of difference is made by actually moving. But here's another parallel between Jamil and I: I would also walk/run at night. I still remember the first time that I actually jogged 2 miles. It was a big deal. It was also at like 11:30pm, mostly because I didn't want people to see a huge guy trying to do something that came so easily for people who were normal sized and could use a step ladder without filling out a release. I didn't want to be seen because I, too, was pulling a Subway Jared. It just seemed kinda shameful.
But baby, look at me now!
No, actually, look at me like 3 months ago, before going through my Mom's death and eating every casserole and cookie that people brought to us to help ease the pain and fill the void. I'm up a good 20 pounds after losing 50+, but I know how to make it go away again. Another thing I learned is that our bodies are desperate to get back to the shape they once had. Also, Sun Chips may look like corrugated pulp, but that's because pulp tastes good if you're really hungry.
We're going on a cruise this coming weekend and I'm a bit nervous. Not because of recent news stories where Russian cruise ships have capsized in the Baltic, or even because of an event last year where a cruise ship got stuck at sea and served its passengers old pop tarts until they could be rescued. Listen: I've seen Titanic, and the tragedy happens because Rose and Leonardo weren't smart enough to do hourly rotations on the floating plank. My nervousness comes from the fact that your ticket price includes a literal 24/7 all you can eat buffet. "And the food is good, Adam" say my friends. They know what I like. "If you want like 3 steaks, just ask for it and the have to bring it to you!" While I'm happy to stick it to the man and get my money's worth and a whole lot more, I'm not excited about the reports of people who have gained 15 pounds while on a single cruise. Then again, this only serves to substantiate the legend of truly unlimited food, which I thought only existed on TV and in Heaven.
"Rest assured" said one friend "that there's plenty of places on board for exercise." I'm told that the cruise ships have all the elements of being healthy: a weight room, which is right next to the pizza restaurant. A running track that circles the food court. Elliptical machines are pushed up to the steam table so that you don't have the inconvenience of having to walk to the other side of the boat for scallops. Working out will be a piece of cake, ________________________*
And this is where Jamil's story inspires me. It's not cool to have the biggest shirt, knowing that the reason they had to get XXXL is because of you. I've been there. To public school, that is. Let's just say that my High School wasn't optimized for musicians who sit in the back row and crack jokes. Social status aside, it's just better to be in better shape. You feel better. Your clothes fit better. Your outlook on life is better. Key word: better. Old key word: butter.
There's nothing worse than having resolve without results. I have the resolve. I want good results. I also request that the ship not sink. Thank you.

PS: Here's the picture that scared me into eating better —
So, If You See a Big Purple Suitcase at a Pawn Shop near Columbus, Ohio…
We chose valet parking because the other option didn't seem so great, which was leaving our vehicle parked on a dimly lit downtown street and adding money to the meter every few hours. Twenty bucks is a hefty sum just to drive your car 'round back and park it, but we were buying peace of mind and some level of assurance that our vacation stuff would be safe during our overnight stay in Columbus. Emily and I wanted some good rest before we continued our journey to beautiful Palm Coast, Florida, home of my sister and brother* and temperatures that are even cooler than it is back home in Michigan.
SMASH (sparkle, sparkle).
Unlock door, open glove box. Remove contents. Open center console. Remove contents. Ooooh: big luggage. Get that one. Now let's go.
That was so easy!
Thieves bashed our rear passenger window and took Emily's luggage. I say it was her luggage because 1) it's purple and 2) it had all of her clothes inside. Stolen.
All of this took place while we were sleeping, blissfully ignorant and dreaming about, oh, I don't know, a sunny beach in Florida. We woke up, packed our backpacks (thinking that a convoy of 8 bags from the lobby to the 10th floor wouldn't be necessary). Down the stairs we went, checking out and ready to go. Valet parking saw our tag and headed to the secret lair where our truck was stored for the night.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, sir, but… there was a break-in to your vehicle."
Shocked, I asked for clarification. How did he know there was a break in? He said that the shattered glass was their first clue.
We went to the valet parking garage, which was not the fortress of security that we had imagined. Just a parking deck in downtown Columbus, easily accessible from every side. No cameras. No fencing. Well, maybe fencing of Emily's clothes, but that's it.
Here's what we saw:
If the back window looks especially clean, that's because it is. Cleaned and scrubbed with so much passion that it just shattered and took the form of pebbles resting peacefully on our running board. Inside, more pebbles of tinted window in and on everything — seat pockets, cup holders, even the luggage they left behind.
What they took was a 700 gallon (or so) travel suitcase, the kind with wheels and a telescoping handle. It was also the kind that had all of Emily's stuff in it, which is in the process of being replaced. The window, too, is now replaced, and looks strange because 1) it's newer, so the tinting is darker and 2) it's not a garbage bag.
A phone call to insurance revealed that we won't quite reach our deductible. A phone call to the valet parking company revealed that they don't return phone calls. I'm not too worried about getting it all sorted out because these things usually find their own groove. Emily, on the other hand, is bummed because she had some outfits given to her by my mom in the stolen luggage. I had some underwear in there, too, which makes me wonder just what it was like to get this huge case back from the poorly guarded downtown lot, only to find that its full of women's clothes and special order boxers. "Wait — these aren't iPods!" one might exclaim. He's right. Oh, he's right.
I figure this happened to us because we were Michigan fans in Ohio State territory. Perhaps it was Jim Tressel. We can't be sure.

Gold: the New Bling
With the monetary crisis in both the United States and Europe, all those pirates are really saying "I told you so, arrrrr!" All those places that set up shop in the strip mall to pay top dollar for your gold are now wearing your watches, thank you. The idea? Return to the "gold standard" as a replacement for other currencies like, say, the American dollar. If gold becomes the new international monetary standard, what happens to…
I am simply raising important questions that deserve answers.
Watch (your rate double) Instantly!
Netflix, we've had a rich relationship. I pay you money. You send me DVD's and data at a perfect bit rate. You provided streaming movies and TV shows about an unfortunate British man with distracting eyebrows and I consumed. I provided money for you to buy ice cream, server space, etc. and you consumed.
It was a match made in heaven and everyone seemed happy.
You demanded more money — twice as much — without warning.
Without upping the ante and making it so that I could also stream an 80's TV show about two unlikely cousins just trying to make it in Chicago.
Without asking me about it.
Netflix, you must have assumed that I would be okay with this. I'm not. Bad form! (to quote "Hook", a movie that is not available for streaming).
So, since you're doubling the membership price out of nowhere, here are my demands, effective now:
1. Flip the switch that makes it so I can stream Perfect Strangers and Family Matters. No more waiting for the DVD.
2. Flip another switch that creates a made for TV movie where the cast from Perfect Strangers bump into the cast from Family Matters and go on an adventure. They all live in Chicago, so this scenario is more than plausible.
3. Flip the switch that makes it so that I can watch all of these movies in my glasses. I'm so tired of laptops and iPhones.
Too much to ask? I don't think so. You made the first move, Netflix.
You have 24 hours.
Sam AND his Club
I don't like to tote this, but it turns out that I'm part of a fairly elite club that allows a single person to buy enough of something — be it chocolate chips, asparagus, or a palette of Whirlpool ovens — to prepare food for an entire army. And with the aforementioned ingredients, those cookies would be absolutely disgusting. But fortified with protein. And iron. From the ovens. And how can I accomplish such a feat, without a permit? Oh, I have a permit. Well, more of a membership. To Sam's Club.
The basic premise behind Sam's is that you need 14 times more of something than you initially planned. Everything, even avocados, is sold in bulk and/or discounted. Need a retention pond? No problem — here's six of them. A dunderhead husband might look at his lovely wife and say "Oh, we can get six retention ponds and save 11%." The wife will say "But we only need one retention pond, dear." And he will reply "but then we don't get the discount, dear, his vocal italics suggesting veiled irritation. "We can just put the other retention ponds behind the shed and get them out as we need them!" as if suggesting that her supposed lack of wisdom is outshining his cunning spendthriftery. Sure, it sounds absurd, but I have personally witnessed at least one exchange in the aisles of Sam's club that looked remarkably similar to this little transcript. I may have even participated in one with Emily. But I can say with great assurance that we're never going to run out of retention ponds at our house. Ever.
Turn right. After a relaxing drive down the boulevard and a playful wave at the pallet of geese, you slowly work your way around the Sam's Club gas station, where gas, too, is to be bought at a discount, especially if you need 100 or more gallons. This is the only way that Winnebago drivers can afford their enormous wheeled chateaus.
I am always amazed at the control mechanisms in place at Sam's Club. To drive into its mighty complex is to witness an example of suburban planning and the resulting bulky sprawl. Lines and arrows, painted in bulk on the surface of the parking lot, keep us on the straight and narrow, carefully maneuvering our high capacity vehicles to be parked and prepared to convoy your wares back home. D'oh! You forgot your palette jack and gantry crane at home!
After stepping out of your car, you have a moment to behold the wailing wall of Sam's Club, where the warehouse theme is king. False factory windows and expressionless facades give you the special sense that you are entering a world totally separate from those terrible stores where they sell individual bottles of pancake syrup. Only one bottle? Only 12 ounces? Unbelievable!
As you walk up to the door (which opens automatically, your majesty) you are greeted by a kind yet stern Samcurity guard who happily yet forcefully requests to see your membership card. DO NOT try to circumvent the Samcurity guard! I've only seen the top of the handle, but I'm fairly certain that she's got a tazer gun. "I forgot" is a really hard phrase to scream while you're being electrocuted. It is certainly not the first saying that comes to mind.
Provided that you've exhibited your club membership card, you're now part of the bulk shopping elite. From the jewelry counter, one can see strawberries, TV's, trees, fireworks, legal pads and wrapping paper (it's never too early). Realizing that these items don't carry themselves, you endeavor to find a loose shopping cart. You'll never find one in the store proper; it's time to go out to the breezeway and get your CART:
C- Cart
A- Adorned (with)
R- Ridiculous
T- Tires
The carts are huge, mammoth even, since the cart must be able to transport the merch. Wide enough for two toddlers to sit side by side, these plus size wire mesh cages are begging to be filled with bulk toner, a queen size mattress and watermelons. Your kids still have room to play a regulation game of rugby in their spacious seats. Yes, even the carts are bulk sized!
After procuring your cart, which included another flash of your membership card to the Samcurity guard, the shopping begins. You're not shopping at a regular store. You're shopping the same way that the owners of a regular store would shop. That's why you can buy "vendor pack" candy product, excellent for "C Stores". It doesn't take long to figure out that a C-Store is a convenience store, the abbreviated code acting as a fog to the mind of the customer. Once you realize that you're paying a sucker's price at the C-Store for Skittles, you'll have a momentary breakdown — right there in the three-lane aisle. "I can't believe I was paying more than 47.3 cents per unit! That's the last time I go to the airport C-Store for Skittles!" This is a common exclamation heard in Sam's Club stores across the country.
You fill your cart with 7 bowling-ball sized bags of Skittles, packed in an even larger shipping crate that has zero charm. There are no colorful rainbows or fun pictures of candy, but rather a dull corrugated cardboard box with block printing: "SKITTLE PRODUCT". No worries: you're shopping like the shopkeeper, and you've passed the savings right on to you.
After shoving your kids out of the way so that you can manage to get a 55 gallon drum of cola firmly planted on your cart (can you give me a push, ma'am?), your senses kick in as your sensibilities are dulled. Is that some kind of sausage that I smell? Are those water crackers I hear being broken into bite-sized pieces? Do I hear paper cups being spread across a stainless steel surface? Yes. Yes, yes, and yes. There are samples. Suddenly, your cart isn't so heavy, in part because you're making your 17 month old walk after you realized that he was taking up precious cart real estate. This is one of the only moments in your journey to Sam's where you will actually run, since your nose is making promises, your taste buds demand results, and your legs — crazy legs — are subservient to your five senses.
She's wearing a green apron and a very non stylish hat that functions first as a hair collector, which is good because she's dividing salmon into 2 inch portions and jamming them into paper cups that look like little petrified coffee filters. A toothpick impales the fish, which has gone from swimming happily in Seattle to providing you with 3 grahams of protein so that you have the sustenance to continue your bulk shopping in Jackson, Michigan. Thank you, gill. And thank you, apron lady. Or should I say apron ladies, for they are many! Take a stroll, take some delicious grapes, some hot pocket chunks, and a dixie cup of Member's Mark Juice. Forget you, lunch! Oh, and get some food for the kids since they are far less afraid to cry in public than they should be.
Since you can't get the taste of the Member's Mark juice to leave your palette (in your mouth), you decide that it's good enough to spend a few bucks on, so you get your own palette (of wood) and wedge it on to your third cart. "Three carts is enough" says you, now making your way to the checkouts. You will soon see why they give you food right before you leave.
It's because you have to undo everything you've just done, namely, loading cases of shrimp and crates of, well, smaller crates, back out of your cart and on to the conveyer belt. Fortunately, you've had a good 10 minutes standing in line to devise your custom bulk unloading strategy. And then its smooth sailing from there as they do the good work of loading your newly purchased items into bags, bags designed specifically for the purpose of easy loading from store to car, from car to house. Oh, the convenience of bags!
You fool.
"Paper or plastic?" is one question that will never, ever, ever be raised at Sam's Club. Their bags are your bare hands. Your hands are their bags. Sometimes you can snag a cardboard box or two that they've emptied, but those boxes are usually only 40% boxes, in that they are missing significant sections of box wall and box floor, both of which are vital for holding your merch in place. But that doesn't matter because you've been asked for some ID, specifically, your membership ID, which, upon being scanned, tells the cashier everything about you. Your name. Your membership status. And… well, that's probably it, but still, they didn't know that before the swipe, right? The computer displays your name for all to see:
I wish the computer would analyze my purchase history and come up with a snappy nickname like
Obviously, the computer would need to have some pretty advanced algorithms to pull off that kind of embarrassing analysis. Scan after glorious scan, it must be able to make some kind of educated guess about your living, eating, driving and even sleeping habits. But that doesn't matter, since you are now reaping the benefits of membership, having saved dozens of dollars because you bought thousands of something.
Once everything has been loaded back into your cart, you must now walk the Sam's gauntlet, a a dangerous and unnerving path to egress. Cigarettes are kept in a chain-link prison. Tires are stacked as a mighty vulcan fortress. Why would you need to buy 10 tires? It's too many for even two times around your car, but not nearly enough for your 18-wheeler. You keep walking the gauntlet. Dirty looks abound, since you are clearly feeling confident enough to steal something because you "deserve" a little extra because of that "embarrassing" moment at the register involving the fact that you may have "bought" your membership form a membership scalper "outside". Oh, they know how you work. And you'll be checked out — again — once you get in line to leave. That's right: there's even a line for the exit.
"Hello" you say to the kind older Samcurity guard stationed at the exit, equipped with a sharp highlighter, her hand extended in full expectation that you will provide her with the proper documentation to be excused to the parking lot. You were given this document, printed on two sides, upon my leaving the altercation at the cash register where you tried to put a 40-pack of Ammonia in a box marked "Clorox". She is looking at your receipt, then looking at your cart.
Looking at your receipt, then looking at your cart.
Cart again, just to change it up.
A look into your eyes and you am given the pink (or yellow, or orange) flag to leave, in the form of a highlighter swipe across my receipt, ensuring that I am authorized to depart because I have rightly paid for everything in my carts. I'm glad they do this. It probably discourages people from stealing tires while someone else sidetracks the "ungreeter" during the exit interview. I know that I've considered such a caper at least a time or two. I am more than willing to endure a full cart scan and guilty-until-proven-innocent pat down before I leave. After all, this is an elite club where TSA guards come to be trained.
Your membership card gets you in to the building. An impossible to counterfeit highlighter swipe gets you out.
Incidentally, who is the highlighter on the receipt for? No one will see your receipt again, right? Me thinks they're going to put a check-out guard shack at the entrance. After loading the trunk of your car, carefully putting the giant bag of skittles next to the sharpest part of the jack, you clutch your marked receipt as your lifeline, knowing that if the guy at the shack doesn't see that pink line that starts out fat and then becomes kinda skinny (the way Mildred always draws it), you won't be released from the compound. But that's okay. It keeps the only marginally serious shopper away from your treasure trove. Failure to comply will result in you seeing firsthand why they call it Sam's Club. Hint: it's made of rough-sewn wood and leaves a member's mark.
You're driving home, feeling especially victorious because you just pulled one over on ol' Sam. He didn't even see you coming! The sound of skittles rolling around in your trunk reminds you that maybe you should've also bought some garbage bags or a 4-pack of Shop Vacs.
The author means nothing bad by this and hopes that they won't revoke his membership. -Ed.

Russia warns against supplying weapons to Syria insurgents
"Outside help to the opposition waging an armed battle against a legitimate government is a gross violation of fundamental norms of international law." Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander LukashevichRussia has warned against the provision of arms to Syrian insurgents fighting the Arab country's government, saying this is in violation of international laws. "Promises are being made from a number of capitals of massive supplies of modern weapons," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told reporters on Thursday. "Outside help to the opposition waging an armed battle against a legitimate government is a gross violation of fundamental norms of international law," Lukashevich stated. On Monday, a new Syria opposition bloc was recognized by the 22-member Arab League and six Persian Gulf Arab littoral states. France, the first Western country to recognize the Syrian National Coalition for Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SNCROF), also raised the prospect of providing arms to the insurgents.
The latest developments in prolonged Syria crisis and the insurgents' refusal to hold talks with the government of President Bashar al-Assad are "in direct contravention" of the Geneva peace plan, Lukashevich stated.On June 30, diplomats meeting in Geneva reached an agreement on a Syria-led transitional governing body that could include members of the current Syrian government and the opposition. The Geneva plan urged all sides involved in the conflict in Syria to agree on a ceasefire in line with a six-point peace plan proposed by former UN-Arab League envoy to Syria Kofi Annan. Lukashevich further denounced an agreement by the Syrian opposition groups on a plan to unite against Assad. The move is not only "an undermining of the Geneva compromise, it is a 180-degree turn-around," he said. Meanwhile, the Military Council of the so-called Free Syrian Army has issued an ultimatum asking that all foreign diplomatic missions, organizations, and foreign workers leave the country within 72 hours. It also wants all businessmen to stop dealing with the Syrian government. Syria has experienced a deadly unrest that erupted in March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the violence. The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the insurgents are foreign nationals. MRS/HMV

Report: Judge Kaplan Let Chevron Make "Mockery of Justice" in New York RICO Case
4 April 2014 | Gowen Group Law Office
New York, NY – A new report concludes Chevron made a "mockery of justice" and bribed a witness during its retaliatory RICO case in New York, leading to a likely reversal by U.S. appellate courts and a growing risk for the oil giant in jurisdictions where the villagers are trying to seize assets to pay for a clean-up of their ancestral lands.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Working and constantly improving in every area of my life. So much that I'll probably be able to walk through walls before long. Ha, Ha!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Getting things done!
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Is that I am in good health. That I work very hard. That I'm easy to get along with. Basically that I really am a good guy. Oh and its apparent that I do have the skills to pay the bills!
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I don't really read to many novels anymore. I have when I was younger. Mostly my reading consists of newspapers, magazines, or stuff on the computer. I like the show Storage Wars, I also like American Pickers and Pawn Stars. And of course I love Family Guy and American Dad! I enjoy all kinds of music, but mostly listen to country and pop music. And I'll eat just about anything. Except spinach from a can. That's just gross.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My job, my family, my pets, my glasses, my weights, and my truck.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
My next move. I always like to try and plan ahead.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Usually buying groceries, or running errands. After that I'm usually working on some kind of project with my house. It's an old house and I'm completely remodeling it. So there is plenty of work their to keep me busy. Occasionally I might go and do some fishing or hiking or what ever sounds fun at the time.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Lol, I like the show Days Of Our Lives.

This is a tale of a naïve protagonist, misguided advisors, princesses[1], dragons[2] and knights[3] in shining armour[4].
Like most fairy tales, this story has an idyllic beginning, a middle, and a happy ending. Also like most fairy tales, the middle of this tale is a grim, dark, scary journey through the Woods of Requirements, blithely past the Ivory Tower of Architecture, into the Depths of Design Despair, under the Mountain of Technical Debt and finishing with an agile leap of faith over the Waterfall of Doom to reach the rainbow on the other side.[5]
This talk starts with a post-mortem of a 3.5-year, $2m project that went horribly wrong. We'll look at where the project failed: the architectural choices; the management strategies; the personalities involved and some sample code. We'll also look at the changes that were made to bring the project back on track, get its wildly spiralling technical debt under control, re-release a functioning version and refactor it to something testable – and all in 3.5 weeks.
Finally, we'll discuss ways to identify the issues encountered in this project so that you can spot them before they bite, strategies for regaining control over a project that's already in trouble, and effective methods for managing troublesome stakeholders.
[1] There may or may not be actual princesses. [2] Or dragons. [3] Or knights. [4] Motorcycle helmets. [5] Bingo!

Beaver Run School Reviews
By Jessica, a Parent on
I believe most of the teachers and employees at this school are polite. I was disappointed in how little activity the children got. The gym and art classes seemed very rushed and not enough time is spent exploring these (in my opinion) necessary outlets. There are a lot of children who are allowed to continually get away with bad behavior. They need to be more strict about how much is tolerated.

My Father, "The Miracle Man."
I called my dad's to see how everyone was. I knew my dad wasn't doing that well. The doctor thought he was passing a kidney stone, but he really had double pneumonia. I couldn't believe that he was so sick. When I finally was able to talk to him, I found out that he had been admitted into the hospital. He sounded as if he was really out of breath. He had a really hard time even talking to me. He had to war an oxygen mask to help him breathe. I cried so hard after I got off the phone with him. I didn't know what to do. I felt so bad because I wasn't there.
My step mom really didn't want me to trave to California because he was so sick. I thought, "What if this si the last time I get to see him?" I would feel terrible if my dad died and I didn't get a chance to see him.
My mom and I didn't have enough money to travel to see him and she wasn't sure if she could get the time off. After she talked to her boss at the city, the city collected money and gave it to my mom and I for the travel and food for the week.
The plane ride to see my dad seemed to long. When my mother and I stepped off the plane my step-sister and her husband walked up to us and asked me if I wanted to see my dad. I said "Yes!" When we arrived at the car, I was surprised that they were driving my dad and step-mom's car. It seemed very strange to me. I've never seen anyone else drive dad's car.
When we arrived at the intensive care unit of the hospital, it seemed like all of the nurses and doctors were looking at us. As I walked in dad's room I couldn't believe what happened to him. I was so worried. I didn't know if he was going to make it. As I looked at him, it seemed as if he was in a coma. He pretty much was; he was not aware of anything that was going on around him.
My step-sister and her husband spoke to him and tried to get him to open his eyes for me, but he didn't reply. When they left, I rubbed his right arm. Suddenly, he lifted up his right arm and I said, "Dad, I'm here. I'm here dad! Mom! Mom! Come here, look!" Dad turned his head and opened his eyes to look around. He looked right at my mom and she replied, "Harry, Jennifer is here! She's right over there, Harry!" And at that moment, he looked over at me and I said, "I'm here for you dad. I'm here for you!" We both started to cry. My mom took me out of ther room because, I was crying so hard.
That night when we all went home from the hospital. I had a dream about dad getting out of the hospital the next day. When I got up that morning, I told my mom and step-mom about it and they said, "Jen, it's not going to happen. Your dad is really sick." I said, "Yes,it will. I know it will" The next day My aunt came to see dad in the hospital. My aunt and I were talking about how dad was. We all were so worried about him. Everyone prayed and prayed that he would be all right. We stayed at the hospital late every night and we were there early in the morning to check on him. We left occasionally to go for lunch or dinner.
The next day we all stepped out to have lunch and when we all returned, one of the nurses told me I had a message to call my uncle. So I did, I went down to the pay phone and called him up. He wanted to know when I was returning home. I replied, "This Saturday!" He said, "Jennifer you can't leave! If you leave your dad will die! You should have seen him when you left last time. All he did was mope around all day and worked. If he dies, the whole family will never forgive you!" That reallly hurt me.
I was afraid that my family would think that I didn't care about my dad if I left. I told my mom and step-mom what he had said. They said, "Don't worry about it. He was probably just drunk." So, I tried not to let it bother me. That day, one of my aunts brought my grandma to the hospital. My mom told her what my uncle had said to me. She and my grandma were very angry. They said that everything my uncle said wasn't true because the family loves me. The would never disown me. My aunt called my uncle that made these comments and told him not to speak to me like that.
The next night, my dad started kicking and taking off his device that snapped to his finger or toe to tell how much oxygen you had in your blood. A nurse came in to restrain him and strapped him to the bed. I remember him saying to the nurse in a diffrent way, "You hubba bubba!" In a way that made me mad because I didn't like seeing my dad strapped to the bed.
When we came back the next day, he was breathing through tubes connected to an oxygen tank. He told everyone that he bought a house in Sonora by my aunt and that he would live there with my step-mom and I. My step-mom tried to tell him that he did not a house, but he wouldn't believe her. He asked for the checkbook. When she gave it to him, he looked at it with a puzzled look on his face.
Later that night, his boss and a co-worker came to visit him. He kept saying to his boss, "I'm taking care of everything, I'm taking care of everything!" No one hand a clue what he was talking about. I don't even think he knew either.
The following day when we arrived, they were getting ready to move him out of the Critical Care Unit. I was so happy that he was better. I was so glad that I came. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't and something serious happened! When dad got settled in his new room, he was hungry. He wanted food from McDonald's. We asked the nurse if we could get it for him. The nurse said he could eat anything he wanted. We went and got him so McDonald's. After everyone ate, My step-mom went out to have a smoke. My dad and I sat in the room talking. He told me he was sorry he couldn't be there for me through things when I was younger. I told him everything was all right and it wasn't his fault. He cried when he said that to me.
Finally, the day came when mom and I were scheduled to return home. We arrived at the hospital in the morning and dad was out of his bed. He said, "The doctor's told me I could go home today!" I as so happy! He got out of the hospital about 1:00pm on Saturday. We went home although he seemed all better, when he went out to the car he fell down because he was so weak.
He's doing just fine now. Now whenever he gets sick he goes to the doctors office, because he never want's to be sick like that again. He only had a 15% chance of living and he made it through. Everyone calls him "The Miracle Man." -Jennifer

Mets, Brewers meeting about Ike Davis in limited first-base market
MORE: FA tracker: position players | FA tracker: pitchers | Winter Meetings updates
ORLANDO -- The Mets and Brewers are meeting about a potential trade that would send first baseman Ike Davis to Milwaukee, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com is reporting.
With the Brewers needing a first baseman and the first-base market at this point being incredibly thin, this is a possible match.
The Astros, Rays and Pirates also need a first baseman and James Loney is sitting on the free-agency market, but he's likely too pricey for what the Brewers want to do this offseason.
Enter Ike.
The Mets are trying to trade Davis after a disappointing 2013 season. One could argue 2012 was disappointing too, though he recovered from a disastrous start to have a huge second half. That is all Davis could really hang his hat on after a good rookie year, as his 2011 season was marred by injury.
In 2012, Davis hit .255/.346/.542 with a whopping 20 home runs after the All-Star break in only 251 at-bats. This led many to believe he was in for a breakout season last year as a 26-year-old in 2013. Instead, Davis hit just .205/.326/.334 with nine homers in 377 big-league plate appearances in a season that required a demotion to Triple-A.
There's certainly enough talent to salvage and maybe a change of scenery helps, but giving up much value for Davis would be a gamble.

Boulder Creek Floodplain Field Trip
Sat. 10:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
(Return bus leaves Boulder at 3:00 p.m.)
The Natural Hazards Workshop is again offering an expert-led floodplain tour along the beautiful Boulder Creek Path. Participants will catch a bus outside of the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 10, and travel to Boulder to begin the tour. Boulder Creek has been the site of numerous and devastating floods. We will make frequent stops along Boulder Creek to survey the floodplain and learn about some of the development decisions that have either increased or reduced the community's vulnerability to floods since the last "big one" in 1894.
The walking tour will last a little longer than one hour and proceed at a leisurely pace. Following the tour, you'll be on your own to eat lunch in historic downtown Boulder surrounded by the spectacular Flatirons. Enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment on Pearl Street, a delightful five-block outdoor pedestrian mall. Visit the Boulder Dushanbe Tea House close to Boulder Creek or any of the other 100-plus restaurants near downtown. Following lunch, pick up a souvenir or be entertained by the many street performers. Participants will have more than two hours to explore before returning to the bus at 3:00 p.m.
Space is limited, so sign up soon! The $20 fee must be prepaid and is non-refundable (unless the tour is cancelled because of inclement weather).

Yeah well its utter bullshit. My husband use to "take" my phone to punish me over stupid PS and then try to tell me I lost it. When he really hid it. Because "he payed for it" This woman needs to stop being a mother and start being a wife. BIG Deal that she bought the phone, I bet if she didn't piss me off, he wouldn't have thrown it.
