Pac-12 Winners and Losers: Week 7
Posted by Bryan Fischer
A handy recap of who really won and who really lost that you won't find in the box score.
WINNER: Oregon's ground game
When you look at the great programs in college football, whenever they had a string of great seasons, everybody would often say they just kept reloading year after year. In Chip Kelly's offense, it's safe to say that is just what the Ducks are doing right now. Nation's leading rusher out with an injury? That would be crippling to other schools but not for Oregon, who just gave Kenjon Barner the football and all he did was rush for 171 yards and a touchdown against one of the conference's best defenses. Freshman De'Anthony Thomas ran for 73 yards and two scores to give the Ducks their 15th straight win over a Pac-12 team.
LOSER: The Arizona State defense
The vaunted Sun Devils defense, despite losing several starters to injury, came into their primetime game against Oregon ranked second in the conference in several defensive categories and were 11th in the country in turnover margin. Of course, those stats were built up against opponents that don't run an offense anything close to what the Ducks run. They gashed ASU for 530 total yards, including 318 on the ground. ASU never seemed to create a stop in the second half and penalties (16 for 190 yards total) kept giving the Ducks extra chances. The schedule eases up going forward and they should be fine, but Dennis Erickson has to fix a few things if they end up running into Oregon in the Pac-12 championship game down the road.
WINNER: Keith Price
Jake Locker who? The Huskies' signal-caller continued to impress with his grasp of the offense, throwing touchdown passes to four different receivers while routing Colorado 52-24. With Price making plays with his arm, Washington has now scored 30 or more points in their first six games - a new school record. He was fifth in the country in points responsible for and should move up on that list, just like he is on the single-season touchdowns thrown list at UW (he's fourth). Price could have padded his stats too had Steve Sarkisian not taken him out of the game before the end of the 3rd quarter. Many expected Washington to take a step back with Price under center but it looks like nothing could be further from the truth.
LOSER: Oregon State's rushing attack
While their in-state rival is running wild, the Beavers can't get anything going on the ground. Quarterback Sean Mannion had to pass the ball 43 times, rarity under Mike Riley before this season, in order to move the ball at all against BYU and was picked twice to give him nine on the year. Freshman tailback Malcolm Agnew returned to the lineup - he rushed for 223 yards in the opener - but that didn't matter at all as Oregon State managed just 59 yards total. Surpisingly, all-purpose threat James Rodgers had only one attempt and wasn't much of a factor at all. A road trip to Washington State for a revenge game might be the only chance the Beavers have at getting another win this year.
WINNER: John White
Another big performer on the ground in the Pac-12? I am sensing a theme among the winners. After taking a tough home loss to Arizona State, Utah went on the road for one of the rare mid-season non-conference games at Pitt. White rushed for 171 yards on 35 carries, one of the key reasons why the Utes held onto the ball for nearly 38 minutes against the Panthers defense that became worn out by the end of the game. Feeding White the ball was partly out of necessity, as the team was without leading receiver DeVonte Christopher and quarterback Jordan Wynn. Jon Hays was making only his second start ever at quarterback and first on the road as well. Considering the offensive line gave up seven sacks, it's clear they wanted to run block for White much more on a chilly day in Pittsburgh.
LOSER: Washington State's moral victories
Last week at UCLA, the Cougars gave up a late lead and saw a victory snatched from their grasp. This week against the conference's top team, Stanford, they were within three at halftime and were creating turnovers and playing Andrew Luck and company very tough. To cap it all off, the Cardinal returned a kick return for a touchdown on the final play of the game to make the score look even worse and push the Cougars' attitude even further down in the dumps. There was a thought that quarterback Jeff Tuel's return would provide a boost but he was mediocre most of the game and never could get the offense going against the stiff Stanford defense. Saturday was the second straight game where Washington State couldn't finish despite being in the game. Even though they were overmatched this week against a superior foe, the way the wheels came off late means there was no moral victory from hanging around early.

Pac-12 Winners and Losers: Week 6
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Ten Pac-12 teams were in action during week 6 and while there were only five that could put one in the win column, here's a handy recap of who really won and who really lost around the conference that you won't find in the box score.
WINNER: Dennis Erickson's agent.
Arizona State was picked in the preseason to represent the South division in the first ever conference championship game and after a win against Utah Saturday afternoon, it looks like the Sun Devils are finally living up to expectations. They're the only team in the division to be perfect in conference play and have now beat the two teams many expected to give them trouble - Utah and USC. After struggling in the bottom half of the conference for three years, it looks like the corner has been turned in Tempe.
The Sun Devils won 10 games for the first time since 1996 in Erickson's first year and the win this week put them well on their way to matching that feat in 2011. Erickson's contract runs through 2012 but with the way the team is playing, he's moved off the hot seat and into a position to possibly get a new deal that he can ride into retirement.
LOSER: Mike Stoops' job security.
It's gone and it is never coming back. A lot of Arizona fans know that Stoops has won a bowl game and finished as high as a tie for second in the conference with a program that hasn't seen much success. But he is 27-38 in the league and 41-50 overall after the loss to winless Oregon State. Quarterback Nick Foles is doing the best he can but the talent around him is not making plays like they should. What's really concerning is that the defense has given up an average of 43 points a game over the past five and the Wildcats have lost 10 straight against FBS teams.
It's probably not all bad for Stoops, his brother Bob might have an opening on his staff if defensive coordinator Brent Venables leaves for a head coaching job after sending out his resume tape of the Oklahoma-Texas game.
WINNER: Airlines that fly from San Francisco to New York.
Andrew Luck's Heisman campaign had a nice boost against Colorado with the signal-caller throwing for a season-high 370 yards and three touchdowns against the Pac-12's newest member. Perhaps he was just trying to show off for John Elway and Tiger Woods, who were walking around the sidelines all game. While they were surely impressed, so too were Heisman voters who watched. Luck was able to strategically pick apart whatever defense the Buffs threw at him and he made some great throws while on the run. The trio of tight ends he has to throw to plus Chris Owusu are a very good group that many might overlook just because they're not a flashy bunch.
Luck is not going to put up 500 yards passing or 200 yards rushing because of what Stanford wants to do on offense. That said, he's led his team to an undefeated record and really hasn't even been tested so far this season. It's almost like Stanford will even tease opponents who will watch the tape by mixing in some hurry-up offense just to show off Luck running it to perfection. He put up good numbers this week but just as important, kept the record perfect.
LOSER: Airlines that fly from Portland to New York.
It was really hard to watch a replay of LaMichael James' arm injury he suffered Thursday against Cal. While the tough Texan apparently just popped it right back in, it's likely he'll miss some playing time over the next few weeks. He dipped off of the Heisman radar after a no-show against LSU in the opener but James had quietly put up some big numbers to work his way back on some short lists. He rushed for over 200 yards for three straight games, something no other Oregon Duck had ever done.
Despite the big numbers, they're likely all for nothing in the awards race if he misses any playing time. He can still make sure everybody remembers what he can do with a big showing against Stanford in early November but it's unlikely he'll wind up in New York in December.
WINNER: Mike Riley and Sean Mannion.
There is no nicer or more genuine head coach in the business than Mike Riley. He's gone through plenty of issues this year and was the laughing stock of much of the country after losing to FCS foe Sacramento State. He made a change at quarterback for good in the Wisconsin game and the decision to go with redshirt freshman Sean Mannion really paid off against Arizona as he threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns. There's not a whole lot going for the Beavers this year after their rough start and being in a tough division, wins like this will go along ways. Mannion was clutch when he needed to be, leading a late drive and finding Joe Halahuni in the end zone on 4th down.
LOSER: Football in Los Angeles.
One wonders how football in a talent rich area like Los Angeles could be so average. UCLA moved to .500 on the year with a comeback victory over Washington State while USC took a bye after their defense allowed 41 points to Arizona. For the Bruins, there should be a talent gap between them and the Cougars but there really wasn't much of one after a narrow 28-25 win. The Trojans are young and thin in many areas but it might be the coaching that is suspect given the way they've played their games so far this year. Rick Neuheisel technically has the only team left in the division that can stop Arizona State from going to the championship game but based on the way UCLA has been playing, there's little chance of that happening.

What I learned from the Pac-12 (Sept. 24)
Posted by Bryan Fischer
1. Oregon is still really, really good. The Ducks will take some heat from other parts of the country but there's no denying that they're still a great team and one that admirably lost to an LSU squad that could be the best in the country. The defense isn't quite there yet but the offense is starting to hit its groove as both Darron Thomas and LaMichael James are looking better than they did last year at times. This isn't a team that has put everything together - yet - but it's getting there. A notice to the rest of the Pac-12: the Ducks are running right at you.
2. So long USC, hello Arizona State. Just when it looked like the Trojans might be able to win the South division (without really winning the South division thanks to sanctions), Matt Barkley turned the ball over three times himself and USC collapsed under the weight of the Sun Devils' defense. Everybody thought this would be Dennis Erickson's year and it looked like the team was easily a top 25 team after beating Missouri. But they regressed when they went on the road for the first time and lost to Illinois. Now though, despite all the injuries, it looks like things are clicking on both sides of the ball. They may not be as flashy as Oregon nor can they execute as well as Stanford, but ASU looks like they're definitely the best team in the South.
3. Oregon State is really, really bad. Sure, the Beavers lost to lowly Sacramento State to open the season and got rolled by Wisconsin. But that was without their do everything-threat James Rodgers and tight end Joe Halahuni. Even against a team like UCLA, with plenty of issues themselves, adding both players wasn't close to enough as the Beavers fell to 0-3 for the first time since 1996. It's still unclear if they have a quarterback after redshirt freshman Sean Mannion went 24-40 passes for 287 yards but was intercepted and had a costly fumble returned for a score. There's little to no consistency and execution one would expect from a Mike Riley coached team is just not there.
4. Cal and Washington will be two tough outs, especially the Huskies. The non-conference slate for both teams didn't really give us a chance to figure out how each would be this season but after the two squared off in Seattle, it's clear neither will be a push over in league play. That's not to say they won't be blown out a few times but both are good on offense and ok enough on defense to get into some shootouts. Keith Price has had no problem running things, nearly hitting the 300 yard passing mark while tossing three touchdowns on Saturday to lead the Huskies to their best start since 2006. Cal still has to work on late game execution but the Zach Maynard to Keenan Allen connection will be something every defensive coordinator will have to game plan for.
5. Still a long way to go for Colorado. Head coach Jon Embree earned his first win last week but getting his second will be a much more difficult task. The Buffaloes had not won a road game since Oct. 27, 2007 and while it was unlikely they were going to break the streak at the Horseshoe, they hardly looked competitive. Tyler Hansen was solid and didn't throw any picks but the offense still lost two fumbles in the first half and had nine penalties to go on top of a host of other gaffes. If they can't improve on their execution, it will be a long, long season in Boulder.

James Rodgers cleared to play for Beavers
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Between Oregon State's opening-week loss to FCS Sacramento State (who have gone 0-2 since*) and miserable 35-0 shutout at Wisconsin, it's arguable no BCS program in the country has been less impressive through the season's first three weeks. So it's only fair the Beavers got a huge jolt of good news Wednesday afternoon as James Rodgers was cleared to play this week's game vs. UCLA.
Taking the field against the Bruins will cap a grueling recovery process for Rodgers that at times looked like it might end his Beaver career. Rodgers was the Beavers' leading receiver and second-leading rusher in 2009, but his ACL was torn last Oct. 9 against Arizona and eventually required two offseason surgeries, the second of which took place this past January.
The fifth-year senior battled back, however, and was allowed to take a "limited" role when the Beavers' fall camp opened. His full return to action would be a boost for any team, as Rodgers has twice earned All-Pac-10 recognition as a receiver and returner and ranks fourth among all active FBS players with 5,784 all-purpose yards.
But it's Rodgers' own team that might need the boost the most. Even against Sacramento State, the Beaver passing game averaged only a so-so 6.4 yards per-attempt; against the Badgers, new quarterback starter Sean Mannion maintained that number but watched the OSU running game fall apart to the tune of 23 yards on 24 carries. Rodgers' presence should help Mannion by offering him a reliable target and explosive playmaker, and help the rushing attack both by his taking handoffs and stretching the field.
Then there's special teams. Through two games, the Beavers rank 81st in average kick return and have returned just two punts for a total of zero yards; Rodgers has the capability of changing what appear to be lackluster units into threats overnight.
Of course, "overnight" may be overstating Rodgers' fitness as he attempts to return to game speed and regain the agility he'll no doubt have to reacquire after his surgeries. But at this point, Mike Riley must take whatever help he can get--and the kind of help even a less-than-100 percent Rodgers offers might be far, far better than the average help.
*By scores of 35-14 against Southern Utah and 49-17 against Weber State. At this stage, this loss easily stands as the worst one suffered by any BCS program this season.

Reeling Beavers name Sean Mannion new starter
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
It's difficult to imagine a worse start to Mike Riley's ninth season at the Oregon State helm than the one he's just endured; the Beavers fell 29-28 in Week 1 to FCS Sacramento State, then suffered a 35-0 shutout shellacking on the road at Wisconsin. So it's no surprise Riley is ringing in the changes--or that he's starting at quarterback.
Via CBSSports.com Oregon State RapidReporter Cliff Kirkpatrick, Riley announced Tuesday that previous starter Ryan Katz has been demoted to second string in favor of redshirt freshman Sean Mannion. The Beavers will not rotate the two quarterbacks, as they did against the Badgers.
"The thing that emerged with [Mannion] in spring practice and fall camp was he made really good decisions and got the ball out of his hands," Riley said. "And he's very accurate. Those are very good qualities."
Also a good quality: outperforming the other candidate. To date, Mannion has completed 66 percent of his passes for 7.7 yards an attempt, without an interception; Katz is completing 52 percent for just 4.2 yards at attempt with one pick, despite playing most of the game against the FCS Hornets.
"It's not a comparison of [Katz] getting worse. We thought this other guy is playing better," Riley added. "It's not he did this or not. This guy (Mannion) kept rising and in our mind earned the right to be a starter."
The good news for Mannion and the Beavers is that he'll have two weeks to adjust to his starting assignment before his team hosts UCLA Sept. 24. The bad news is that his team likely needs every minute of the extra preparation; in addition to Oregon State's moribund play, they're beyond banged up, with starting guard Josh Andrews the latest injury casualty. Andrews will miss at least six weeks with an MCL sprain suffered during the Wisconsin loss.
So it won't be easy for Riley and Mannion to get the Beavers' ship turned around. But if they can't do it with the help of a bye week before facing what appears ot be a very ordinary Bruin squad, it might be time to start looking towards 2012 already.

QUICK HITS: Wisconsin 35, Oregon State 0
Posted by Bryan Fischer
WISCONSIN WON. The Badgers looked every bit of a top 10 team against an overmatched Oregon State team. Quarterback Russell Wilson was sharp and efficient leading the offense, going 17-21 for 189 yards and three touchdowns. As good as he was though, the ground game really looked good as the team rushed for 208 yards and were paced by Montee Ball who had 118 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns. The Beavers struggled from the start and Mike Riley surprisingly took out starting QB Ryan Katz for Sean Mannion in the middle of the first series of the game. The redshirt freshman was solid, going 25-38 for 244 yards but that didn't result in any points.
WHY WISCONSIN WON: The defense did a great job of keeping Oregon State from running the ball, holding them to just 21 yards on the ground. In fact, the boys in red allowed only two drives longer than 30 yards all game and forced the Beavers to turn the ball over on downs both times. The ground game kept the clock moving and the offensive line protected Wilson so he had all day to throw down the field.
WHEN WISCONSIN WON: It's hard to point to one particular play that changed momentum in favor of the Badgers but they took firm control of the game after Oregon State punter Johnny Hekker booted the ball for negative four yards. Yes, it was -4 yards in the box score but it looked even worse live when you consider the wind wasn't much of a factor.
WHAT WISCONSIN WON: Brett Bielema's squad moves to 2-0 on the year and have looked the part of a Big Ten title contender. With Russell at the helm and running back's Ball and James White, the offense is clearly the strength of the team. There's still a few things to work on with the defense as they were picked apart at times on third down. They have two more cupcakes to get ready for the big showdown against Nebraska at Camp Randall on October 1.
WHAT OREGON STATE LOST: After losing to an FCS team the week before, it's not like things could get worse for Mike Riley. They were pushed around on the road and now they have a significant quarterback controversy. Yes they lost another game and look like the worst team in the Pac-12 but help could be on the way. All-purpose threat James Rodgers and tight end Joe Halahuni should be back after the bye week so that should provide a boost. Still, no momentum and plenty of things to work on in Corvallis.
THAT WAS CRAZY: Four yard punts are pretty shocking to see. Negative four yard punts are, well, jaw dropping. Despite all that, Johnny Hekker still managed to average a decent 31 yard average on the day.

Oh Jesus.
And today… I think I'll dress like a colorblind, hippy cowboy reject from the Village People.
I'm starting to think she's TRYING to look peculiar.
Such a weirdo. Still would.
We get it.
Is London really so far behind the times that she's still interesting over there?
Nice look, I guess I missed the Fraternity Pig Call….
She has some really ugly tits.
Gaga has to pay more attention, the sequel she overheard being talked about was for trainspotting, not trannyspotting.
If the British had won the Revolutionary War we could say this is our revenge. And it's best served disturbing.
She's look worse.
MUCH worse.
The fact that she actually thinks throwing on random shit makes her in any way creative or artistic is just sad.
Is there just the tiniest, teeniest flicker of shame on her face there?

Any suggestions on how to get massage oil out of sheets?
By CandaceK from Scottsdale, AZ
Try washing them in hot water, with ammonia added to your regular detergent.
Ammonia is a great grease dissolver.
By Melody T. 5 80 05/21/2009
You need something to dissolve the grease. Try spraying them down with Mean Green (it's approved as a laundry pre-treatment) and let them sit, then wash in warm water with a strong detergent.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the comments that were provided then.
How do you get large massage oil stains out of sheets? These stains are practically full body imprints! They are faint, but visible and too large to spot treat. We've added degreaser to the wash, tried dawn dish liquid to spot treat, but nothing has worked. My daughter was hired to wash sheets twice weekly from a local massage therapist. Some of these stains have been washed and dried many times.
The massage therapist actually recommended we try 1 cup of detergent, plus 1 cup of oxyclean, plus 1 can of coke. However, we have a front loader machine that cannot handle that volume of cleaner! And wouldn't coke discolor white sheets? Some of the sheets are white, off white, sage green, and dark purple.

Sé que has dicho que te encanta usarlo, pero quería preguntar en más detalle O3O

Looks like a Wii nunchuk You sure you didn't get one of those instead?
Yes we should. My message: Two people have DeviantLIKED this message. Dear administrator of dA, we would like DeviantLIKE-ing on deviantART. All those other famous websites like youtube and facebook have LIKEing. Why doesn't dA? It could be like faving comments. Please consider it. -sprarx333 and AngelheartTheWarrior
Maybe we should suggest this to someone...
I love dA, but it annoys me that I can't "like" anything like on more popular websites.(Facebook&youtube)
yeah, i know....
Fail... dude...
gimme yo japan
Thats so cool! It looks like the nunchuk on a Wii...
Lawl it's looks funny
I went to Japan too... I just got some small trinkets. It's beautiful there. Also I've been to Mexico. I saw whales. And the picture is because I'm retarded
... I don't understand how something like that is useful. It seems kind of cumbersome. At least you're enjoying it!
So you think saying what you just have was a good use of your time?
That's so cool
I really love your use of 2nd grade logic.
Humm. Yeah, go email!
Interesting. coke
I control my sugar rushes very well. Actually, everyone in my family controls sugar rushes very well. But I did get very tired XD Lol, the company of the medicine or diet coke?
*DeviantLIKES this comment*
God, I'm surprised you didn't have a major sugar rush and crash for 3 days. I'll have to email the company about hat.
I know, right?! My neighbor came with us, and so did my dad. My neighbor ate less than a kid's scoop, and my dad ate a medium cone. I went for the large and finished it all. Same with the next day, not joking. Maybe. I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't know how to get drunk on coke. Maybe you should ask a coke-specialist about that.
Whoa. That's just, awesome. And yeah, maybe.
Next step to dA: DeviantLIKES and DeviantDISLIKES. "I WOULD LIKE TO [insert something really boring here] AND MAKE THE WORLD DO IT!!!" 12,000,000 DeviantDISLIKES 0 DeviantLIKES
Very interesting results. No, I don't think it was the sugar. In third grade I ate an 8 inch tall waffle cone with chocolate and sprinkles on it, plus the eight inches of ice cream inside and then the three inches of ice cream stacked on top. Chocolate icecream. I didn't even get a sugar rush. Maybe the mix of the medicinal chemicals and the coke chemicals caused it?
Wow! Cool!
(Lol, it's cool broski) yeah, I have this nasty tasting medicine I had to take at night to help me sleep when I got a respiratory infection, and I really didn't want to take it cause it keeps me up. So my cousin mixed it with coke and I chugged it. Interesting results my friend, interesting results.
I think it was all the sugar I downed in a short amount of time.
I think it was all the sugar I downed in a short amount of time.
I wish I could like your comment.
If you don't care and don't have anything constructive to say, why even comment? I'm simply curious, because if I don't have anything to say, I simply go to do something 'better' ... I think the artist would rather receive no comments than condescending ones.
(Lol, I snooped your conversation) So... you got... drunk... on coke.
XD It does look like a black/green Wii Nunchuk.
Sorry, I don't really care what you've got from Japan...
When I saw this I was like: "Wow... You got a japanese green Nunchuk?" Huahaha
damn straight!

Improve performance and promote recovery with these services designed especially for golfers.
The size, shape, and density of a golf ball make it the ideal instrument to reach deep knots in the muscles. The Kiawah Golf Ball massage combines deep tissue massage techniques with specific trigger point work using a golf ball to iron out the kinks that come from a long day on the course.
This invigorating massage uses moderate pressure and highly rhythmic strokes to flush metabolic waste from the tissues. Hot towels are applied throughout the session to ease soreness and promote relaxation, while healing balms help sooth overworked muscles, tendons, and joints. Please not this is not a deep tissue service.
This invigorating, yet relaxing foot treatment offers the relief you need after 18 holes. A gentle salt scrub is followed by a soothing foot massage using whipped shea butter infused with healing, aromatic extracts.

The Department of Veterans Affairs furloughed 2,754 IT employees Oct. 7 after carryover balances that retained the employees through the first days of the partial government shutdown were exhausted.
That is fewer than the 3,200 IT employees VA predicted it would furlough in its shutdown contingency plan, but still a sizeable percentage of an IT staff comprising about 8,000 individuals.
IT workers also make of a disproportionate share of VA furloughs. Overall, VA planned to furlough about 14,000 employees -- about 4 percent of its total workforce.
On Oct. 8, VA announced it furloughed about 7,000 Veterans Benefits Administration employees, leaving all regional VBA offices closed. VA hospitals and counseling programs are still open, and VA will continue to process claims and accept new ones. However, VA spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said the announced furloughs could slow claim-processing times.
Dillon said the claims processing and payments in pension, compensation, education and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through October. But she stressed that if the government shutdown stretches into November, processing and payments would be suspended.

With some 14 million letters already out and millions more expected to hit mailboxes by the end of the month, the Office of Personnel Management expects to wrap up notifications to breach victims in the coming weeks.
Here are 14 young women and men -- in agencies and the private sector alike -- who are overachieving in their current roles and distinguishing themselves as the likely leaders of tomorrow.
Steve Kelman continues the conversation on fixing government acquisition.
A governmentwide email retention strategy could have a broad impact on the public and our nation's history.
Agency CIOs can lead real and lasting change with the help of other government leaders and old-school performance grades.
The Inspector General nominee at the Department of Veterans Affairs told a Senate panel he could institute reform in the short time he'll have on the job.
A reciprocal travel program with 38 participating countries allows for visa-free visits, but a key U.S. senator warns of troubling gaps in the security data.
Antiquated computer systems based on legacy code are a problem for government not just because they are hard to secure, but because it is hard to find people to run them.
Steven Kelman unpacks the argument that social media can negatively affect organizational performance.
Please Sir, may I have another???

Getting 5+ servings of fruits and veggies every day can sometimes be challenging. But I have a good way of getting them all in one meal.
I love to get a serving of veggies and fruit with an Outshine Carrot/Tangerine popsicle
I make up a batch of" Chicken Kale Vegetable "soup and "Turkey Veggie Joe "mix served on whole grain slim buns. Alternate lunches for a few days. I add one seving of whole grain crackers with soup and plate of fruit with the Joes.
I like chewing gum while I prepare dinner, or lunch, to avoid licking fingers and snacking on things I don't really want in my diet. Now, if it's fruit or veggies I'm getting ready, then I skip the gum and nibble away, a good way to help get in that extra serving of fruit or veggie.

Best of the Year, Midnight Movie Reviews Special (Part 2)
The second half of our end of year Movie Review special with Nick, Collin, and Erik!
Great show last night! Is there anyway to generate a list of all 3 of your "Best Films of 2012" list?
There use to be a way we could download the podcasts please bring it back…so people on the go can listen on their mp3 players. Also where did all the older podcasts go? and all the little segments of the show that were usually podcasted…
I can't push what Jeremy and Luther say in previous posts about info that used to be on your old website. You used to post the list on a link with the current lists from you, Colin and Eric. You also had your best of lists going back into the 80's. It was also great to check out the older lists and then hit my Netflix queue.
As a sidebar, you used to be on Sunday nights too. Hosts disappearing. We are witnessing the decline of WGN; a shame! I could see it all the way from PA.
Linguist by trade, guys, and the script for "Lincoln" is extraordinary!!! Every word, phrase — so true to the epoch and geographical location…and "Beasts" is my fav….I'll be hearing "Beast it" every time I see a plate of crustaceans…..Luv you all —

Guadalupe De Reyes Group
Update on Guadalupe De Reyes GroupCrecencia is one of the "Guadalupe de Reyes" group members. She's 62 years old. She never went to school because she says that back then school was only for boys and the girls stayed home to learn how to do domestic chores. She's married to Cristino and they currently live alone because their children are all married. Crecencia relates that since she was little her parents taught her to work and even though her husband provides for their home she always looks for ways to help him since the economic situation is worse every day.
A little over ten years ago, Crecencia opened a small home-based grocery store to help her husband with the intention of earning a little extra money and because there are practically no stores in her neighborhood and this helps her sales to increase. She's open every day from very early on and she always likes to keep her store well stocked with a little bit of everything so that her customers will always find what they are looking for and will return to make their purchases; she also tells us that she enjoys providing good service in order to win over customers.
She will invest the loan in the purchase of cooking oil, canned food, beans, rice, soft-drinks, candy, Sabritas [brand of snacks], sweet bread, cookies, salt, sugar, mayonnaise, soap and chlorine bleach to stock her store. She hopes that with this investment her business will continue to progress thus having a better quality of life.
The other group members are:
Deodora-clothing sales
Joaquín-iron work
Arturo-construction work
Alberta-fast-food snack sales
Rosa-fast-food snack sales
Amelia-chicken sales
Esperanza-chicken sales
Dorotea-fast food snack sales
Natalia-grocery sales
Antonio-corn farming
María de Jesus-clothing sales
Cristina-soft-drink sales
Doña Crecencia desde hace un poco mas de 10 años con el apoyo de su esposo habrio un pequeña tienda de abarrotes en su hogar con la intencion de ganar un poco de dinero extra y porque en su colonia casi no hay tiendas eso ayuda a que sus ventas aumenten, ella habré todos los días desde muy temprano y siempre le gusta tener su tienda surtida con un poquito de todo para que sus clientes siempre encuentren lo que busquen y vuelvan hacerle el gasto, tambien nos dice que les gusta dar un buen trato para ganar clientes.
ella invertira este credito en la compra de aceite de cocina, comida enlatada, frijoles, arroz, refrescos, dulces, sabritas, pan dulce, galletas, sal , azucar , mayonesa, jabon y cloro pra resurtir su negocio.
ella desea que con esta inversion su negocio continue progresando y así tener una mejor calidad de vida

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Nissan Altima
My car is Nissan Altima-1994, it is 180,000 miles. Two days ago it starts to give me two warning check battery and check breaks. The lights together some times light on and some time off, but yesterday they came off completely, but at the same time I started to hear a noise and the car doesn't not accelerate fast as before. Today the noise increased and when I stopped the car and tried to turn it on after few seconds, it gave me ABS warning and did not start at all. I took a jump and it turned on after one second of jump but the ABS warning is still on and the noise still there. Do you think it is battery or Alternator. For the breaks it works fine.

Owning certain stocks can save you thousands

Think of where you'd be right now if you'd made this move 10
years ago. The S&P 500Index is up only 28% during that time.
You could have seen returns of 328%, 305%, or 626%.
And that's with some of the most boring companies you can think of
-- housing real state investment trusts (
), pipeline operators and cigarette makers. But they all have one
thing in common.
They pay dividends.
As the Chief Investment Strategist behind
High-Yield Investing
, I'm biased. But I think dividends are the most powerful tool in
investing. You don't have to take my word for it. Other investors
"I have made more money in retirement than I did when I was
working. Income from dividend-paying stocks (which I collect every
month) is even better than my greatest expectations," said
High-Yield Investing
subscriber, William B.
Even John D. Rockefeller once quipped that the only thing that
gave him pleasure was to see his
coming in.
The simple fact is that how you treat the dividend -- often the
forgotten step-child among investors -- is the most important
investing decision you'll make today... in the next year... even
the next decade.
Let me show you what Imean .
Take two portfolios, each worth $100,000. The first one earns 8% in
capital gains each year. The second one earns half that amount in
capital gains -- only 4% each year -- but earns a 6% dividend
that's reinvested.
I chose these numbers as they illustrate a choice investors are
usually faced with -- invest in a faster-growing stock that doesn't
pay a cent in dividends, or earn a nice yield and see slower
growth. Here's the best news -- you'll end up earning more with the
dividend-paying stock and typically have fewer ups and downs as you
would with a riskier growth stock.
In fact, within 10 years your portfolio would be worth $265,089 if
you went with the dividend-paying holdings, versus $215,892 with
the growth-only portfolio.
Over an even longer period of time, the difference is more
Wait 20 years and your dividend portfolio would be worth more than
$702,723 compared with $466,096 -- a difference of more than
And here's the best part. The misconception is that dividend payers
are boring, stodgy securities. They might pay a few percent, but
they won't return enough to really make a difference.
That couldn't be further from the truth...
Shares of
EV Energy Partners (Nasdaq:
yield 5.5%, but this hasn't stopped them from returning 459% since
the March 6, 2009.
During the same time, the
Reaves Utility Income Fund (AMEX:
has returned 284%, while paying monthly dividends that now equal a
5.8% yield.
Medical Properties Trust (NYSE:
has returned 398% in addition to its 6.5% yield.
But that's during a strong market rally and coming off of
multi-year lows. What would happen under different conditions?
Eagle Rock Energy (Nasdaq:
is paying 5.2% and has had a total of return of 128% in the past
Since September 2010
Universal Healthcare Trust (NYSE:
has returned 38%, thanks in part to a 5%-plus yield.
Action to Take -->
That's not to say every dividend payer will be a big winner. It
won't be, and I wouldn't listen to anyone who says they
canguarantee a stock's gains.
In the sizzle of the mainstream financial media, it's the
fast-moving names like
Apple (NASDAQ:
Google (NASDAQ:
that don't pay dividends and yet get most of the headlines. But as
you can see, it may just be the dividends that are most important
to your success.
-- Carla Pasternak

yielding 2% when you can find one paying 26% right here? Watch this

The Rich Text Widget was working for me, up until I changed the directory of my wordpress install to be different from my blog address. The problem is that the config file assumes that both of these will be the same. The first two lines of the config.php for the plugin looks like this:
define('RB_RICHWIDGET_SITEURL', get_bloginfo('url'));
define('RB_RICHWIDGET_BASEURL', RB_RICHWIDGET_SITEURL . '/wp-content/plugins/rich-widget');
I changed the first two lines (and added a third in between)...
define('RB_RICHWIDGET_SITEURL', get_bloginfo('url'));
define('RB_WPURL', get_bloginfo('wpurl'));
define('RB_RICHWIDGET_BASEURL', RB_WPURL . '/wp-content/plugins/rich-widget');
Also - I wanted more buttons on the rich text editor than what was provided... I changed this by finding fckconfig.js in the fckeditor folder. At about line 122 - you'll see:

I changed that second line to all this:

Cherokee 6
This Oshkosh winner is one of the all-time great flying SUVs!
Folks who live in Seattle, Wash., tell strangers about how bad the weather is; it's a mantra for them. The message is almost subliminal—it's a gloomy place, the sun never shines, it's always raining… For some reason, they don't want the rest of us up there. But the weather in Seattle actually is different from the message. In reality, the climate is mild, the landscape beautifully green, and for Randy Kersten, it's one of best places on the planet to own an airplane. " />
Kersten's flying pickup truck is the Cherokee Six, which wasn't his first airplane. When he was a kid, he knew a neighbor who flew for United Air Lines and introduced him to flying in a 1947 Bellanca. "Instantly, I got hooked. I thought, I could do this!" he recalls.
Kersten began flying on his own in a Champ and finished in a Cessna 150. After getting his license in 1966, he bought a 1940 Taylorcraft. He says, "It was all I could afford and I flew it everywhere. I wish I still had it."
Later, Kersten owned a Stinson 108-3. "I really like the Stinson—you can haul four folks and it has more beans than a Cessna 172. As a matter of fact, I took my wife, Eileen, for our first date in my Stinson, only the mags didn't check, so I borrowed a Champ and took her up. She was so scared, she grabbed my neck, but I calmed her down and after that, she was fine," describes Kersten.
"Eileen took the AOPA pinch-hitter course, and she's a lot of help when we go flying anywhere. You have to have a wife who likes airplanes. When our kids came along, we bought a Cessna 206. It was great and flew like an airliner. We needed something else to carry the load up to the cabin. The airport at Center Island is in the middle of the island and our cabin is only 150 yards away. It only takes us a little more than 40 minutes to get to the island from home if we go by air; by boat, it would take six hours or more. Since it's easy to get to, lots of friends and family want to go. We just needed to haul a lot of stuff. That's why we bought into the Six—it hauls the same as a 206, but has more room and a cargo door," explains Kersten.
Most successful airplanes are evolutionary, and the Cherokee Six is no exception. The Six traces its lineage to the PA-28 Warrior and Archer. The airframe is longer, lower, wider and, well, heavier. The pilot and co-pilot have their own door, and the four or five passengers have a large door of their own on the left side of the airplane. If you want, you can get one with seats arranged in a club format. The Six has a rather long nose—by thrusting the engine way out there, Piper solved CG problems with the bigger airplane and added a 100-pound baggage compartment between the firewall and the cockpit. An additional rear baggage compartment sits behind the rear seats.
Stepping up from an Archer or a Warrior isn't a leap. A new Six pilot simply has to accept the fact that the airplane is heavier and won't respond as quickly as its lighter brethren. The upside of mass makes it a better instrument platform and offers a smoother ride for passengers. On the downside, the long nose makes the landing flare problematic.

Maybe I shouldn't ask for an explanation. Maybe I should just be grateful...
But two days ago, my knees were feeling ok but a bit creaky and still in recovery from some overtraining in preparation for a bike race in early May that never happened. I'd been babying my knees along for about five weeks.
As a particpant in a charity ride, I cycled 150 hilly miles this weekend. I was a bit fearful that my knees would not be up to the challenge, but they felt good both days. In fact, with only a few slight twinges here and there, they feel better today than they did on Friday.
It does leave me wondering what the best combination of rest and activity is. Sometimes too much rest makes you feel worse than going out, hopping on the bike and giving it the old heave ho. On the other hand you don't want to be a damned fool. Anyone have this issue figured out? I sure don't.

The Use of Immunizing Serums in Man
The Gazzetta ufficiale del regno has published a decree which imposes a penalty on the use in man, whether for diagnostic or for curative purposes, of vaccines, serums, viruses, toxins and like products, the manufacture of which has not yet been authorized by law. Such use is permitted solely in public institutes of a hospital character, and in public ambulatoriums authorized by the prefect, always under the responsibility of the director of the institute. Of such use the director must make an exact record, and must give a written notice to the head of the administration by which the institution is controlled. In the case of a public ambulatory, the health officer of the commune must be informed in writing. The health officer, in turn, must inform the provincial physician. On the basis of the report of the provincial physician, the prefect may

Remember Me
After an early service (hey, 11 a.m. is early for a festival!) with CBW, it was time to be received in the church of Burle. Hickster's lineup this year proved to be somewhat of a Superjam warm-up with Beck (dobro) Book (bass, Infamous Stringdusters) and Law (guitar) rounding out the band, and Kartsounes (guitar) and Hoffman (mando, Greensky) jumping in on a few tunes. Benny "Burle" Galloway's work has found its way into many bands' catalogues over the years but he himself is a perpetual spotlight shunner. He's got a little Townes and Woody in him, as his songs saunter in straight from the oil fields, production lines and bar room floors, unwashed and dressed in simple clothes, rumbling with hunger but with no appetite for bullshit or pretension. But, there's a tenderness in that leather and songs like "Me and You," which he wrote for his daughter, and "Years with Rose" can't help but nestle in your heart. He kept bringing good company to that table, too. Julie Stratton joined the band, an arresting storm with her gutsy guitar and raw, passionate vocals on "Revival." I don't know where she came from, but damn, I got to investigate more. "That's my kind of religion," Burle happily growled at the end.
The second band to represent Sweden this weekend was Abalone Dots. These heart-flutterers posses a divine timbre, with killer four-part harmonies, luscious instrumentation and a darkness that lurks beyond their northern lights, full of tales about shooting husbands and surviving elevator breakdowns. Whether running barefoot and folkie or adding some drums to the mix, their unique view on Americana is absorbing. Absolutely humbled and charmed at the scene unfolding in the dust before them, they mused how they never had "rock rings," the Swedish term for hula-hoops, at their shows before (I have been calling them "rock rings" ever since). Warmly welcomed, they brought down the house with a "Man of Constant Sorrow" encore, closing a set that left a few heads reeling.
Before Yonder's last show of the festival, Pastor Tim took a minute to thank Bob Horning and his family. They have taken great care with their home, and the patrons return the favor, keeping the grounds amazingly clean, with our MC even thanking the crowd at one point, saying the volunteer crews were impressed with how little they had to do. There is just an overall sense of consideration here, and when you receive it you want to give it back. It's not lost on the musicians who play this festival, and although Sunday afternoon means the music is almost over, Yonder wasn't through with us yet.
"Keep On Going" drew me closer into the bowl for set two, carrying me on its reservoir of resilience, telling me, "Hold your head up high, and just keep moving." We got plenty of tread as Rubin nefariously annihilated the rhythmic drive and Barnes and Johnston yucked it up with a "Dueling Banjos" tease. Moving into the spacious daydream of "Winds on Fire," a moment of cooling respite for our feet, the bass groan seemed to reverberate under the topsoil of the bowl. But, that peace wouldn't last long. Our daydreams turned to nightmares as we found ourselves in a hellacious "Follow Me Down to the Riverside." We grabbed our butcher's smocks, as things got bloody. Austin snarled and barked, throwing out tips for the sketchier uses of a pickaxe. Barnes was dialed into that psychosis with him, proffering pure banjer terror. Dangling over an empty grave with an indiscernible, stomach-clenching bottom, gradually the hand pulled us back and "KOG" placed us back on solid ground. "I had the weirdest dream," Austin said. "I took a pickaxe to my lover. But now," he said, lifting his face, shaking off his possession, "the sun is shining!"
As Yonder returned for an encore of traditional "Darling Alalee," a rare treat, and "Troubled Mind," (with Austin commenting, "At least it's a fast one so it will hurt!"), they expressed their gratitude to us for coming for another year, taking a well deserved bow.
On the plane ride home, I twirled my peacock feather in my seat as I stared out the window at Mount Hood shrinking in the distance. At one point, Kaufmann had discussed cultivating appreciation versus seeking out moments of delight. Spiritually speaking, it seemed a bit heavy while I was raging in the dust, but ruminating over it later it spoke to how I was feeling. We chase down moments of ecstatic sunshine, cathartic punches and jaw drops. As one card aptly said this year, "The upside of the land beyond, the music kicks," and, man, did it kick this year. But overall, what I left with from Summit this time was a sense of deep appreciation, for not only the music but also the conversations by the lake, the laughs in the beer garden, the living room wake-up calls at Camp Turtle, the late night astro jack lessons, and the moments where we just shut up and danced. It's what I'll keep rooted in the solid soil of my heart as I count down the days until I can go back home.

Dropped the car off at the doctor's this morning for yet another attempt to fix the gear box.
Rode home ... which was nice seeing the shop is literally at the bottom of Flagstaff Hill so I had to fight my way up that from a cold/standing start - got home utterly and completely stuffed (coughing up phlem, body burning, all that good stuff - you really do need to warm up first don't you).
Unemployed so I'm supposed to be looking for work which is easy because there flamin' isn't any
So I thought 'stuffit, I'll be lazy and watch a video'.
I'd just finished reading a book and 'knew' I had a movie on the same subject so thought watching that would complement reading the book.
You reckon I could find the movie? Of course not, and our collection isn't thaaaaat big.
Okay, I can go up to the library and grab something. Seeing I'm in 'slob mode', I'll buy a pie and pastie for lunch. Make an afternoon of it.
Oh hang on, the car's in the workshop.
I don't really feel like riding the bike because I still feel stuffed and besides my pie'd get squished in the saddle bags
There's the 'spare' car but that hasn't been driven in months and I'd have to wash the windscreen and fit a new rego label ... and then find out if it wants to start.
Sheesh, all I wanted to do was slob around a be lazy ... and it all involves WORK!
So I thought I'd come on here and whine at you lot instead ... only that's starting to feel like work too.

When John Peterson is behind the wheel of his race car, he's doing more than just trying to win a race. With every lap, he's passing on a message to racing fans about not smoking.
John is a race car driver, and his team is Smoke-Free 83. With each lap, fans see John's car covered with information about quitting tobacco, including a nationwide 1-800 number they can call.
Off the track, John travels with his car and talks to fifth graders about why they shouldn't start using tobacco. The kids hear his message, sit in the race car, and even sign their names on the car.
John knows firsthand how hard it is to quit after you start using tobacco. He smoked and chewed tobacco for 16 years before he was able to quit for good.
Like many smokers, John started his habit back in high school. After smoking for 10 years, John tried to quit on his own-but he wasn't ever successful. "I actually thought I'd never be able to quit," John says. Then one day John got an e-mail about a quit-smoking class offered through his employer. He signed up-a step that put him on the right track to kicking his habit. "The class taught me how to get ready to quit," John says. That planning was the key to his success.
John had a lot to learn and plan for before he actually quit.
His first step was to understand how the addiction to nicotine worked. "I had never heard of dopamine before. It's the 'feel good' chemical of your body. Normally your body dishes it out regularly to keep you on an even keel. But in my case, my body wouldn't give me dopamine unless I gave it nicotine. My body knew that dopamine was as close as the next cigarette."
In the quit-smoking class, John learned about the destructive path that tobacco and nicotine took while traveling through his body to his brain. "I used to think tobacco only affected my lungs and my lips. I didn't realize that all of those chemicals are flowing through the rest of your body to reach your brain."
As soon as John knew more about how tobacco affected his body, his next step was to make a plan. He set a date to quit and figured out which stop-smoking aids to use. In past attempts to quit, John tried both the patch and nicotine gum, but he didn't read the instructions on how to use them correctly. This time, John was prepared. He learned that no matter which aids he chose to use, being in the class meant he had a better chance of quitting.
He worked toward quitting by seeing his quit date as a finish line he would cross. When he crossed the line, he would be a nonsmoker.
Hearing other peoples' success stories encouraged him. His classmates told him that before they took the class, they never thought they'd quit either. Hearing their stories gave John the confidence and strength to go for his goal to quit smoking.
John also took advantage of online help. "The online resource was a really good place to firm up what I'd learned in the classes. The online part also calculated what I'd spent on cigarettes. That was an amazing number-thousands of dollars, easily enough to buy a race car."
All the effort John put into getting ready to quit helped him stay focused on his goal and not give in to the temptation to smoke. "The way I look at it is that it took all of this effort," John says. "If I blow it by taking a cigarette because of a craving, I'd have to start all over again. It was a big incentive to not light up."
John's story reflects his experiences as told in an interview.

You should get the trouble codes pulled. Any Advance Auto or Auto Zone will dio this for freee. The Throttle Position Snesor, TPS, could be bad and needs replacement. If it does nto seem to re-set codes, they sometimes must be reset with a reader. So, tey thatand see if any codes come up after code clear.

I remember looking at my home economics teacher's middle finger back in '03 and thinking to myself, 'one day it's going to be my turn', many times passed that I pray for the day when someone is going to ask for my hand in marriage and do it by putting a ring on it. Damn! I was so obsessed with rings that at 18 I had started surfing the internet for the perfect ring and considering my not-so-beautiful tiny fingers I got from my dad (*rme*) I had to get the big rock to compliment it and make people forget how not beautiful they are when they glance at it.
Marriage has been on my mind sine my first relationship and somehow it has been a good thing but mostly a bad idea because it clouds your judgement of what the perfect imperfect man is. This thought runs through every girl's mind (you can't deny it :p); even the few of us who see ourselves as "miss independent" and act like we don't need men. On the contrary, we are the ones who fall victim, our sense of independence and lack of exposure to the man-world leaves us vulnerable to even the dumbest guy who plays the you-need-me card, we fall and the get used and dumped! Some of them come back for a recycle process and yet again we hear the plead and go back to the vomit we swore not to perceive let alone swallow. All these with the believe that we don't know who the perfect imperfect man is.
From the big rock to the moderate colourful rings and the bands, my taste for rings has changed faster than my change of boyfriend or choice of men, because they say the end justifies the means. You believe more in the wedding ceremony, the mode of proposal, the pre-wedding pictures and the capability of the man to take care of your needs rather than the package (man) itself.
I once asked a friend of mine who is now engaged to her boyfriend of 7years, at the time I asked her about how she managed to keep her man from the world of desperate girls and coping with whether he cheats or not, she said something that didn't sink at the time; "you cannot keep your man from the outside world nor can you stop him from cheating, if he already does all these, you can't stop him. You don't tell a man you are deserving of him, it is he who says so and then makes it worthy". (Her exact words from bbm chat extract). I demanded a better explanation which points to the fact that, though a lot of girls choose everything and the way they want their wedding to be but it's the man that decides when they marry and what the home will look like.
I went back to the many books I have read on marriage and relationship or even love, they all say the same; you cannot matter to a man who does not have a life that matters to him– M!.it is after a man feels fulfilled that he thinks of sharing it with a particular woman, it is then he analyse the one(s) he has on ground or has to scout all over, A fulfilled man is not a function of his bank account or position at work, the level of fulfillment or satisfaction is (Hu)man dependent, which no one can measure except the (Hu)man himself.
It is true that a lot of relationships have survived long distance, some have come as far as 10 years, a lot have broken barriers of marriage, tribe, ethnic morals, socio-cultural believes and the likes and it is even more true that many people have met via the internet and are having the best marriage/union now, I particularly know of a couple of 6 years with 2 kids who actually met via Facebook. There are other stories everywhere of how people meet and have the best or worst unions, the result of your union is not a function of how you met, where you met or how long you have been together, a couple of people meet and decide to be together for the rest of their in 3 months or even less. Yes, it does happen and happens well (miracle, maybe). Yes these are big factors but they are coupled with many other things like especially; if you are even meant for each other.
Unfortunately, we have been left with the puzzle to find 'the one' without any physical mark on anybody's forehead, the fear of unknown has made it even more interesting and adventurous that even after a man asks for your hand in marriage you are still doubtful of his motive and intention.
I have asked over 10 people in the last one week about "how did you know your husband was the one or your wife was the one?" I have been unable to get different answers other than, "you just know it" How do you just know? How can you differentiate it from the ones you have had in the past that you thought you know? Well, maybe you pray but when do you separate the miracles from the warning signs?
Which brings about the questions; is it how far you have come or how well you have been? Does he have to pop the question via a ring or you just decide and go ahead with the ceremony? Is it dependent on age (being in this part of the world) or a function of your status? What exactly is the pointer to decide to be with someone for the rest of your life (short or long )?
Be sociable….. Share and comment!
