How to Teach Your Child How to Share
Sharing is the most important skill to teach any child. Sharing is one of the most important skills you can teach your child. Have you ever wondered how you can teach your child how to share but you didn't know how, here are a few steps you can take to help you teach your child this most important skill.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Tell your child that not sharing may mean that their friends will not want to share with him or her either.
2If your child does not want to share, explain to your child why it is important to share.
3If your child does not want to share his or her toys, take them away. By doing this, nobody will play with the toys.
4Never yell at your child, but be very firm in your reprimands. Yelling at your child rarely gets you anywhere and never sets a good example.
5If your child screams and carries on, sit down with your child and talk to him or her and make sure there is not really some other issues that are causing the problems.
6Thank your child for sharing his or her stuff with others.
7Inspire your child to think of others and how happy it makes them when they share their stuff.
8If other children are invited over, ask your child to pick out some stuff to put away. But also point out that the stuff left out can be shared with anyone.
9Always teach your child by example. Show your child how you are willing to share something on your own.
10Start teaching your child how to share when he or she is very young. Always tell your child that sharing is important.

IRET can restore the registers from the stack,including EFLAGS, ESP, EIP and so on, but we can also restore the registers all by ourselves. For example, "movl" can be used to restore the %esp register, "jmp" can jump the address pointed to EIP which is stored on the stack.
The linux kernel returns from all interrupts by IRET, which is a weight instruction.
Some kernel operations (like context switches) happen frequently.
Isn't IRET a waste?

Looking good 2CV! How about a whole picture of the 'naked' bike now? Your bike is my winter inspiration.
Curious about the ordering process... Did you have to send him a scan or photo of your bike's registration, to get your US plate number?
Oh that is nice! Those open spaces and the minimalist nature just look impressive; I'm diggin it! What a difference! You liken the smaller batt? So what's next? The TM32? On sale at Amazon for 127
I can't believe how good the tats look on your hand are they new? Mine look like shit after 50yrs. ERC
I think it was that chain link front end broke on him. Is that what happened? I never saw the whole thing that was filmed. ERC
..... The next thing will be to send my head off to see The Wizard.
I just saw that thread over in the classic section. I love the idea of some ace magic on the AVL head at what appears to be seriously good value . What are you thinking of having done? I ended up getting the TM32 (couldnt resist the price ), with intentions to use Ace's manifold and BW's S Cams. Ace working on the head would really round things off.

NBA Finals: Heat tops Thunder in Game 4, leads series 3-1
MIAMI, Fla. — Russell Westbrook wasn't trying to silence his critics.
But even when he did, he supplied them more ammunition.
Such is life for the Oklahoma City Thunder's All-Star point guard.
Westbrook was fantastic in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, scoring a game-high 43 points with seven rebounds and five assists in 45 minutes.
Yet, it will be the last of his three fouls that will capture much of the basketball world's attention while looking back on the Thunder's 104-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday night inside American Airlines Arena.
Westbrook delivered an ill-advised foul to Mario Chalmers with 13.8 seconds remaining, sending the malign but red-hot Miami guard to the foul line where he sealed the Thunder's fate with swishes that swelled the Heat's series lead to 3-1.
The foul came after Heat guard Dwyane Wade missed a floater while falling out of bounds with 17.3 seconds remaining. The rebound fell to Miami forward Udonis Haslem, but Thunder guard James Harden got his hands on the basketball to force a jump ball before Haslem could go back up with a shot to beat the expiring 24-second clock.
Under league rules, the 24-second clock remains the same as when play was interrupted or is reset to five seconds, whichever is greater, any time on jump balls retained by the offensive team as the result of a held ball caused by the defense.
When the jump ball got tapped out to Chalmers with just five seconds showing on the shot clock, Westbrook chopped down on Chalmers hands after a dribble in the corner.
Just three seconds were left on the shot clock. The Thunder was down only three.
An errant shot by the Heat and a rebound by the Thunder, or a shot-clock violation, would have given Oklahoma City a chance to tie the game inside the final 15 seconds.
"It was just a miscommunication on my part," Westbrook said. "Nothing I can do about it now."
The irony is without Westbrook the Thunder wouldn't have even been in the game. And after the buzzer, everyone from Scott Brooks to Royal Ivey stuck up for Westbrook, stressing that Westbrook's foul didn't cost the Thunder the game.
"It was a tough play. Could have been a communication thing," Brooks said. "That play, I tell our guys, one play does not determine the outcome of a game. There's 200 plays involved in every basketball game. It doesn't come down to one play. It was a tough play, but we move on from it; learn from it and move on from it."
Westbrook's point total was three more than his previous playoff-high, set in a triple-overtime win at Memphis last postseason. His 43 were two shy of his regular-season high.
He made 20-of-32 shots, five of them in the first quarter to help the Thunder get off to its first good start in this series. Behind Westbrook's 10 first-quarter points, the Thunder took a 33-19 lead after one quarter of play.
"He had it going since the beginning of the game, and when a guy has got it going we've got to keep feeding him," said Kevin Durant. "He was making shots and keeping us in the game, and we just tried to play off of him."
Westbrook had eight points in the middle two quarters before taking complete control in the fourth. When Durant struggled for the second straight game to shake free from LeBron James, it was Westbrook who rose to the occasion and salvaged something from a sputtering Thunder offense.
Westbrook scored 17 points in the final frame pouring in 13 straight during one stretch on a series of slashes to the rim that left everyone in Miami shaking their head.
"Just trying to stay in attack mode," Westbrook explained. "Shots were falling. But it really doesn't mean nothing. We didn't come out with the win."
As each shot dropped through the net, Westbrook was proving that this Thunder team, despite critics swearing otherwise, does indeed need Westbrook to score — even if it calls for the point guard taking more shots than the reigning three-time scoring champion in Durant.
But Westbrook insisted he wasn't out to prove a point.
"Let me get this straight," Westbrook said. "What you guys say doesn't make me happy, make me sad, doesn't do anything. It's all about my team and us winning a game. I don't have a personal challenge against you guys, and it's not me against the world. It's not the world against me. It's me and my teammates trying to win."
The Thunder didn't, and Westbrook will receive a bulk of the blame by many because of his late-game foul regardless of his phenomenal performance.
And at the end of the night, Westbrook was all alone, walking out of American Airlines Arena toward the team bus sporting a plaid green jacket without any entourage, just a token security guard serving as his personal escort.
By the time he boarded the bus, he would be all alone with his thoughts.
The foul perhaps messed with his mind most.
But by no means should there have not been room for his other fantastic 45 minutes, 15 seconds.

Hussain Kuwajerwala, one of television's most popular TV star is not only a good actor but an excellent anchor as well. A combination of talent and versatility, Hussain talks about the format of reality shows and playing a college kid in Kumkum in an unplugged interview with Telly Buzz.
You are reality show expert; have won Nach Baliye, anchored the same show and Indian Idol 3, now participating in Yeh Hai Jalwa, is there is any magic formula that you would like to share with your co-contestants?
There is no hard and fast rule to success. You just have to work
hard and always be innovative. Even now, I cannot sleep properly before the
event for you never know when you can be knocked out of the competition. I just
hope it does not happen in Jalwa though having come so far.
How is your equation with your team in Yeh Hai Jalwa?
We have become very comfortable over time. I am not strict with them, but yes, I stress a lot on rehearsals. Some times, I inspire them, while at other times I get a kick seeing them really bend their back.
The entire Rakhi Sawant episode in Jalwa was in bad taste.
I am not that the right person to comment on this. I think only the creative team can give you the best answer.
Are reality shows rigged?
I would not want to comment on something about which I do not have full knowledge. Agreed sometimes the best talent does not win but that is the format. Similar accusations are made about cricket as well, but you also wonder, can such matches really be tanked?
Indian idol 4?
I am quite looking forward to anchoring Indian Idol 4. Though I will not be part of the audition phase this time around since "Yeh Hai Jalwa is still on and its not possible to do both. It is great to see the contestants grow from zero to hero in a matter of months. My job is to help and comfort them along the way.
It has been alleged that winners are carried away by instant success. What is your take on this?
It does happen. However, that is a very personal choice and varies from person to person.
Your reincarnation avatar in Kumkum is that of a college kid.
Its much better then playing a father's role, which I could not do convincingly. Moreover, I am just 30 years old yaar. People my age still go to school and are studying. Further when big film stars can play roles of characters that are 20 years younger, why target only me?

🙂 I think the classic Airstream camper sort of looks like a toaster on wheels. I wonder, does it pop you out of bed in the morning automatically, three shades tanner? 😉 Also, if you are traveling on the same road with one, be prepared to be periodically blinded by the sun glinting off its aluminum exterior – very distracting. I'm surprised these things are allowed on the road this shiny! Photo taken through the windshield while traveling eastbound on Interstate-4 in Florida – somewhere between Tampa and Orlando.

A conifer is a type of tree that produces cones and evergreen needles. Spot a pile of cones beneath a tree and you've found yourself a conifer.
With the word cone embedded in it, it's no surprise that conifer is the term used for cone-producing trees. Conifers can often be identified by their typically long needle-shaped leaves like the kind you find on a Christmas tree. Mostly found in northern forests where the winters are cold, the tough prickly leaves on conifers make them adaptable to the weather.

text: Been thinking about this, after the whole Cena V Rock (Era V Era) kind of thing. Which wrestlers, past or present, could fit into any era of wrestling? I think Jack made this point a while back. Randy Orton could fit into any era of wrestling. His psychotic and intense character, would fit into the Attitude era very well, I would have thought. On the other hand, John Cena's character, well, it obviously wouldn't fit in as well. Which wrestlers do you think would be able to slot in, into any era?

"This is a truly useful article. My daughter uses instant messenger programmes and has a mobile and the techniques for dealing with cyber-bullying should it occur are invaluable."
"This is the reason I hate Facebook! People hide behind it when they are being unkind. As well as this, it is impossible to read body language etc when talking online.

My daughter said she was going to block her as a friend and I stopped her, telling her that the other girl would use that against her. The etiquette of social media is a new one on all of us!"
"A great article. Easy to read and gave great advice that I can share with my daughter who is experiencing similar issues as outlined in the video."
"I like the idea that the child can look at this on her own and may be talk to you about it afterwards. I don't think I'm at this stage with my daughter yet, she is happy staying quite childlike, maybe this will change when she goes to secondary school. I try not to interfere with her choice of friends as I prefer her to have the confidence to chose her own friends. There are some pitfalls in this but it seems to work out in the end ( honestly)"
"Thank you for taking a stand on improving self esteem and body image for girls. I would like to add that boys also struggle with this issue. My son, Levi, just published his third anti-bullying book "Be Courageous" This book has several chapters written by boys who were being ridiculed because of their appearance or image. My sons second book, "The Good The Bad and The Bullies" shared his story dealing with bullies who attacked his size. For two years, Levi, has worked on anti-bullying efforts running workshops, speaking at schools and organizations and in May he went to Washington D.C. to speak to Congress members about his project. Levi would like to talk to a representative from Dove about a possible collaboration. His website www.thegoodthebadandthebullies.com will provide contact information. Thank you again."
"I think there is so much pressure nowadays that I try to discuss these things openly with my daughter"
"This is awesome"
"Really nice article."
We work with partners as passionate about raising self-esteem as we are to develop the most impactful programmes possible. Together, we're creating a more positive beauty culture for girls everywhere.

Penn Law
For example, commenting on a recent unusual case in which a school teacher would not allow a first-grader to read a Bible story aloud to class as his "favorite story," Coleman says, "I think that's a straw-man issue. There is an enormous amount of prayer in school - kids can rally around the flagpole, people can pray quietly at their desks, small groups of people can pray as long as they don't harass and oppress other students. At the ADL, we're talking about school-sponsored prayer and religion."
For the former CEO of Maidenform, a family-owned corporation, the leap from undergarments to civil rights may seem odd, but Coleman says it isn't really. Coleman has been practicing law for 25 years, both with her husband, Robert Stroup L'74, in Atlanta, and as a public interest and poverty-law advocate with Atlanta Legal Aid and the Georgia Legal Services Program. "This [the ADL] is a wonderful combination of my public law background and management background," she explains.
Stroup now works as a plaintiff's employment discrimination attorney with Vladeck, Waldman, Elias & Engelhard in New York. The couple has two grown children, Rachel, just graduated from Wesleyan University, and Matthew, still in college at Brown. As a lawyer who successfully balances the demands between her career and family, Coleman notes "My mother worked outside the home, both my grandmothers worked outside the home, and my husband's mother and female ancestors all worked - they were farmers - so it was never an issue for me." She had her first child relatively early - a year and a half out of law school - and Bob was "unbelievably supportive, splitting the raising of their children fifty-fifty.
Her outside interests include playing classical guitar in a guitar/mandolin duo and serving as chair of the National Women's Law Center, where fellow Penn Law alumna Marcia Greenberger L'70 serves as president. And though Coleman's family remains her first priority - "that can never change" - now that the children are grown, she enjoys not having to rush home at the end of the day. "It's exciting to feel that I can work as long as I want to. My work is important and endlessly fascinating. I think there's a primacy of the First Amendment that we can't lose sight of, and we too often play fast and loose with it, both in terms of religious freedom and free speech."

|Ken Burns' newest PBS documentary, "Prohibition," premieres on October 2
Drug policy advocates are thrilled that filmmakers of the stature of Burns and Novick have taken on this topic, and hope that the series reminds Americans about the futility of prohibition and its devastating collateral consequences.
"Alcohol prohibition didn't stop people from drinking any more than drug prohibition stops people from using drugs," said Tony Newman, director of media relations at the Drug Policy Alliance. "But prohibition did lead to Al Capone and shootouts in the streets. It is the same today.
|Drug Policy Alliance
|Tony Newman, DPA: "Because the plants are illegal and thus unregulated, people are willing to kill each other over the profit that can be made from them"
"It is not marijuana or coca plants that have caused 50,000 deaths in Mexico over the last five years -- but because the plants are illegal and thus unregulated, people are willing to kill each other over the profit that can be made from them," Newman said.
"Making drugs illegal has created a violent criminal market where cartels battle it out to control territory in much the same way gangsters did during alcohol prohibition," said Neill Franklin, a retired Baltimore narcotics cop and executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).
"The one major difference between the two prohibitions is that we came to grips with the failure of our experiment to ban alcohol after just 13 years, while the 'drug war' that President Nixon declared 40 years ago is still being prosecuted, more harshly and expensively than ever," Franklin said.
"My two sons have struggled with addiction," said Gretchen Burns Bergman, lead organizer of Moms United to End the War on Drugs. "My family has experienced not only the devastation of this life-threatening disease, but also the destructive effects of punitive prohibitionist policies and incarceration.
"Mothers were instrumental in ending alcohol prohibition in the '30s, not because they wanted to encourage alcohol use, but because they wanted to end the gangland violence and loss of lives caused by organized crime, fueled by prohibition," Bergman said. "Moms are needed to join the movement to end the violence, mass incarceration and overdose deaths that have resulted from prohibition and the failed war on drugs."

Former player backs up allegations against Hermann
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. A former Tennessee volleyball player has written a blog post backing up her teammates' accusations that incoming Rutgers athletic director Julie Hermann abused them verbally and emotionally during her coaching tenure in the 1990s.
On her blog ( http://www.erinzammettruddy.com ), Erin Zammett Ruddy wrote Wednesday that the players held a meeting after the 1996 season to figure out why they were miserable, and "we quickly realized Julie was the common denominator." Zammett Ruddy said the players detailed their grievances in a letter they brought to Joan Cronan, the Tennessee women's athletic director at the time.
While Zammett Ruddy's statement supports allegations that were first reported by The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., on Saturday night, she also wrote of Hermann that, "our intention today is not to see her suffer or to take her down in any way. None of us wants that. It is simply to tell the truth because we were asked. And because it is relevant."
Zammett Ruddy added that "just because she was a bad coach doesn't mean she can't be a good administrator." Separately, another Tennessee player who graduated earlier in Hermann's tenure praised her on Wednesday.
Hermann was the Tennessee women's volleyball coach from 1991-96 and went on to serve as an administrator in Louisville's athletic department. Now she is set to replace Tim Pernetti at Rutgers. He resigned as athletic director after men's basketball coach Mike Rice was fired for throwing balls at players and using abusive language.
Hermann is scheduled to take over as Rutgers' athletic director on June 17, but her work record has become a major issue at New Jersey's state university, still reeling from the Rice scandal and a series of missteps since.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday he has "absolute confidence" in school president Robert Barchi, who has endorsed Hermann.
In the Tennessee matter, Zammett Ruddy wrote that Cronan called a team meeting in which the players discussed their issues with Hermann face-to-face.
Cronan issued a statement Tuesday in which she said, "I hold Julie Hermann in high regard and I believe she is well-prepared for her new role at Rutgers University." Cronan also said she remembers the end of Cronan's tenure being a very frustrating time for the volleyball program due to the team's lack of success but that she did "not recall it being an abusive situation."
Tennessee fired Hermann after she went 77-106 in six seasons.
Cronan's statement didn't mention a letter in which players had detailed allegations of abuse. Hermann denied having previous knowledge of the letter Monday during a conference call with reporters in which she said she had no intention of stepping down. Such a letter didn't appear in Hermann's personnel file, which The Associated Press obtained from the university via a public records request.
"We don't have a copy, but it was a long time ago," Tennessee vice chancellor Margie Nichols said. "We can't say definitively there was not a letter."
While Zammett Ruddy offered support for her teammates, another former Tennessee volleyball player - from earlier in Hermann's tenure - came to her coach's defense. Tamala Brightman, who played at Tennessee from 1990-93, raved about Hermann to the AP and said players affectionately called her "Jules."
"When I heard these allegations, I was shocked because this was not the coach that I knew," said Brightman, who had 1,781 career kills and continues to hold the school record in that category.
Brightman said she never saw Hermann act abusively toward any player. She added that players had such a great relationship with Hermann that they said she reminded them of Wonder Woman.

Beauty Salon
Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Diana learned the beauty salon business about five years ago and since then was employed in a beauty salon earning a salary that she could contribute economically at home so that her husband and two children who are 1 and 8 years old could have a good quality of life. But, because she needed to care for her 1-year-old son she had to resign from her job and concentrate on household chores. However, since she could no longer contribute economically to her home, its economic situation was impacted negatively which produced great problems at home.
Because of this Diana wants to set up a home-based beauty salon but since she lacks capital to do so is looking for a loan to buy a vanity, a hair washing sink and beauty salon tools and equipment to set up her own beauty salon. In this way she'll be able to care for her youngest son while still being able to generate income so that they can continue to have a good quality of life at home.

Diana aprendió desde hace unos 5 años la actividad de la peluquería y desde entonces estaba trabajando en un salón de belleza y con el salario que le pagaban podía contribuir económicamente en su hogar para que su esposo y sus 2 hijos de 1 y 8 años de edad pudieran tener una buena calidad de vida. Pero debido a que necesitaba estar al lado de su hijo de 1 año de nacido tuvo que renunciar a su trabajo y dedicarse a las labores del hogar; sin embargo, como ya no puede contribuir económicamente en su hogar la situación económica se afectado negativamente y esto ha producido grandes dificultades en el hogar. Es por esto que ahora Diana esta buscando montar un salón de belleza en su hogar y como no cuenta con capital busca un préstamo para comprar un tocador, un lavacabezas e implementos de peluquería para montar su propio salón de belleza.
Así podrá estar al cuidado de su hijo menor y también podrá generar ingresos para que en su hogar sigan teniendo una buena calidad de vida.
Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

Molecular control of the bidirectional transition between stem cells and skeletal muscles
The understanding of the biological basis of adult somatic cell reprogramming to a pluripotent state is opening new horizons in regenerative medicine and is a key step toward "personalized" stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases for which there is currently no cure.
Genetic neuromuscular disorders include a large number of diseases (e.g. muscular dystrophies) that invariably lead children to the wheelchair and eventually death. Likewise, the age-related decline in muscle mass and function has detrimental effect on the overall performance and life span in elderly populations. Stem cell-mediated regeneration of muscles in these patients is the most awaited therapeutic approach, but effective applications are limited by technical and ethical issues. Thus, the potential to reprogram diseased muscles back to early embryonic, stem cell-like state is a promising avenue to cure fatal muscular diseases. Quite paradoxically, no evidence exists that skeletal muscle cells could be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells with the existing technologies, suggesting that skeletal muscle cells are resistant to induced pluripotency.
Our preliminary evidence indeed indicates that skeletal muscles are refractory to induced pluripotency and points to an "epigenetic restriction" of pluripotency that is established during the commitment toward a terminal differentiated phenotype. This proposal will shed light on the mechanism underpinning the antagonism between the cellular factors that induce pluripotency and those factors and events that restrict pluripotency, promote differentiation into skeletal muscles and maintain the terminally differentiated phenotype typical of skeletal muscles.
This study will fill an important gap existing in our current knowledge on the basic mechanism that governs the transition between the pluripotency typical of stem cells and the cellular specialization of differentiated cells, and viceversa. The knowledge generated by our proposal will create the molecular rationale for the generation of muscle stem cells from hESCs and from skeletal muscles. As such, it will have a strong impact in the regenerative medicine for neuromuscular diseases, as it will provide the molecular insight to devise optimal strategies for stem-cell mediated regeneration in the treatment of muscular disorders.
The increased life span in the population of developing countries and states, such as California, poses a number of new issues related to the health control and social assistance in elderly population. For instance, the age-associated muscle atrophy (sarcopenia), and the muscle catabolism occurring as a consequence of chronic diseases (i.e. cancer cachexia, AIDS or chronic infections, terminal stages of cardiovascular diseases) or prolonged pharmacological treatments (i.e. chemotherapy) lead to a reduced performance, increased morbidity, and request for medical and social assistance for an increasing percentage of the Californian population.
Thus, the identification of pharmacological strategies toward regenerating aged or diseased skeletal muscles is a critical task for the development of future health strategies in California.
Furthermore, the identification of stem cell-mediated strategies in regenerative medicine will fuel hopes for the treatment of genetic neuromuscular diseases, such as muscular dystrophies, and will reduce the emotional, social and economic impact that patients confined to wheel chair have on public opinion and health.
More in general, the discovery of pharmacological applications for stem cell employment in neuromuscular diseases will help to establish a leadership in regenerative medicine, will inspire new technologies and will give the impetus to new initiatives attracting financial resources and a new generation of stem cell scientists in California.
The generation of stem cell scientists is particularly important to create and propagate in the future a productive environment fueling the research in regenerative medicine. This proposal will also be instrumental to train and commit to the stem cell research new MD and PhD scientists that will provide a valuable resource to propel the advances in regenerative medicine in California.

A Dog's Purpose
by W. Bruce Cameron
No current Talk conversations about this book.
To be honest, I don't know what to say about this book. Told from a dog's point of view through several lifetimes as he finds his purpose in life. It would take many tries – filled with sadness, pain, happiness, fun, and loss – but he would find his way and his ultimate purpose. It is a simple, well written story by W. Bruce Cameron (some author as 8 Simple Rules to Dating my Teenage Daughter). Anyone who has ever owned a dog can relate to this story to some extent and in some cases, hope it's true. But along with the laughs, remember to have the Kleenex ready. As it points out, this is over several dog lifetimes and death is bound to occur. Each life left me in tears. A great book and recommended for dog lovers.
What a great progression of events. Wonderful read.
Narrated by George K. Wilson. Dog lovers will appreciate dogs even MORE after listening to this book! Narrator Wilson voices this story in what I think is the perfectly agreeable, undemanding, amiable manner of a dog, if dogs could talk. This absolutely charming story of the inner life of a dog who reincarnates three times and learns more about his purpose in life each time, is hilarious, touching, and completely satisfying. The full-circle ending tends to be on the sentimental side but still, rarely does a book please me so entirely. A winner!
Sometimes a book falls into your hands at just the right moment. This one showed up just a few days after I had to say a heartbreaking goodbye to my own good dog, and I nearly gave it away, thinking it would be too painful to read. But I gave it a try, and in addition to being a wonderfully original story, I found comfort in its message.
Not usually the type of book I'd read, seeing as the sappy dog love idea really contrast my shelves of political novels and murder mysteries. Once you get past the bright blue cover and adorable dog, you find a story that lets you in on the life of a repeatedly reincarnated dog that tells a story of, oddly enough, humanity. As one of the few books that as ever made me cry, let alone sob for a solid half hour, "A Dog's Purpose" is a great book for teens and adults alike. Just be prepared with a pint of ice cream and roughly six boxes of tissues.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765326264, Hardcover)
This is the remarkable story of one endearing dog's search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog's Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: Why are we here?
Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey's search for his new life's meaning leads him into the loving arms of 8-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog.
But this life as a beloved family pet is not the end of Bailey's journey. Reborn as a puppy yet again, Bailey wonders—will he ever find his purpose?
Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:53 -0400)
Searching for his purpose over the course of multiple canine lives, Bailey is reborn as a golden-haired puppy after a tragic death as a stray and shares a loving bond with young Ethan before he again dies and starts over.

Gov. Ted Kulongoski is set to veto a bill that would spike higher education tuition rates.
The Legislature initially moved for cuts to higher education that were $11.5 million more than previously expected.
With the governor's line-item veto expected, university officials now plan to limit increases to 9 percent at the three large universities and 6.5 percent at most small universities, following the Legislature's limits...
Tuition increases will partially make up for a cut of nearly 10 percent from the university system's $893.2 million 2007-09 budget. To get to the $807.5 million budget for 2009-11, the universities also plan to cut pay, jobs, classes and campus services.

Good deed is punishedFebruary 02,2013Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.
Anyone with information about the unknown woman is asked to call the Vermont State Police, Rockingham barracks, at (802)-875-2112.
Police reminded motorists that picking up hitchhikers, although a kind gesture, can be a dangerous activity. Police recommended that people not pick up hitchhikers, or if they do, use extreme caution.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

2001 Mazda 626 (3 Reviews)
I hate the 01 mazda626 the transmisions are junk
At 80K miles, I replaced the transmission. Ten months and 22K miles later, it was rebuilt or replaced again. At 102K miles I replaced the timing belt, gaskets and the water pump for the first time. One nuisance item is the engine light which has been on for 5 years due to some ozone filter which our mechanic said wasn't necessary to replace. Considering I've only changed the oil about every 9 months, and have never flushed anything, it has been a fantastic car!
My 2001 mazda 626 has been a good car . The transmission shift cable bushing burst and allowed the cable to come loose thus not able to shift transmission . I called around to dealers and other sourses but the part was on back order .I found a transmission shop that made a good repair as replacing the cable was a real pain ! The transmission is a bit weak on shifting but still a good car . Would buy another .

love them so much X3
good job! they are all so adorable^^
nice job, maybe do turns with the adoptables. Like post one set on dA then one on FA. Just a thought so all fans get equal chances lol
I've thought about that...... but I feel like asking for money on the adoptables is kind of looked down upon by deviantart, in a way? ><;;; and I have no use for DA points, which is what most adoptable buyers on DA use.
I feel more comfortable posting them on FA first, I guess. but now I feel baddddd
I feel more comfortable posting them on FA first, I guess. but now I feel baddddd
I find what's more accepted with adoptables is instead of just asking for a straight up price, post a minimum bid and have an auction with them. I've seen that a lot.
Well, there are some that do the adoptables anyways regardless of using points or money. I mean, Edalie-chan does adoptables with money and is fairly successful at it. Though it is the artist's call on what they do and how they do transactions. I was merely giving a suggestion was all, not saying you need to do it.
ohhh this is so beautiful VwV
Thats really cool


text: Posted September 15, 2010 I don't think he was serious. We still have Matt Moore and we just drafted Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike. Also, take into account that Pryor is going to stay for his Senior season at OSU and we shouldn't even be having conversations about this until after next season. No, he was serious. He posted two threads about it the other day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While training for Roxie I ultimately decided it would be best to let Kotoha evolve, so I shed a tear as she evolved from Snivy but then remember how awesome Servine is! I'm hoping to take on Roxie soon, I won't be adding anymore team members until I can get an Eevee and Trapinch. Also, Zack evolved which made today even better <3

Additional Information
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.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Update on VadimVadim continues his greenhouse farming in the village of Privetnoye. He owns 1.1 hectares of land where he cultivates early tomatoes, squash, peppers and cabbage. After transplanting seedlings from the greenhouses into an open field, Vadim uses the greenhouses to grow early cabbage, which he harvests some time in May.
He needs the sum of 12,000 hryvnia in order to purchase seeds, plastic film and fertilizers, and rebuild a greenhouse. Vadim enjoys working for himself, taking care of the land and growing vegetables. He hopes to continue in his favourite occupation, expanding his greenhouse farm as circumstances permit.
Сумма в 12 000 гривен ему понадобилась для того, чтобы закупить семена, пленку, удобрения и реконструировать теплицу. Вадиму нравится заниматься своим делом, работать на земле и выращивать овощи. Он надеется продолжать заниматься любимым делом, по возможности расширяя свое тепличное хозяйство.

About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
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.
