Sales centre: 5522 Ormidale St. (1/2 block west of Boundary)
Hours: Noon — 5 p.m., Sat — Thurs
At the busy border of Burnaby and Vancouver, the presentation centre of the Wall Centre Central Park reveals the project's dual personalities.
On the one hand, the billboards are emblazoned with the Wall moniker, a name synonymous with luxury and high-end detail. On the other hand, there's that price — under $299,900 for the bulk of the condominiums — that signals that it's not at all about luxury, but also affordability.
Ada Bonini, the designer who tackles both aspects in one-bedroom and a two-bedroom display suites at the site, says it takes a careful approach to use appliances and finishes that will last through many years of home ownership without raising the price.
She points to the integrated fridges, the full-height stone splashes in kitchens, and the added storage of custom medicine cabinets in the kitchen, as "the owner will get as much as possible for as affordable a price as possible," says Bonini, the principal with fellow designer Cheryl Broadhead of BYU Design.
The kitchens boast quartz slab countertops, shaker-style cabinetry fronts, panelled Liebherr refrigerator, and dishwasher and range from Porter and Charles. A countertop overhang makes for a handy breakfast bar.
Bonini says she takes cues from how homeowners adapt to living in small spaces, and designs to include pieces that include storage and can be used for more than one purpose.
"The best way of making a smaller space more useful is to combine functions of rooms," she says. We are losing the traditional notions that you can't live without a full dining room and living room that seats six apiece, or a large framed out bed frame. Furniture retailers are catching on and designing pieces that are more condensed and multipurpose.
"Electronics are becoming more adaptable to tighter footprints. And homeowners are becoming more aware and smarter about clutter and storage."
To meet homeowners' expectations, she added ottoman seats that tuck under a glass coffee table, and colour that allows for the illusion of space, like lighter palettes with punches of colour in the one-bedroom unit, and softer tones in the larger unit.
All told, Bonini says it took an entire team of professionals to reach that balance of high quality and low price.
"With Wall Financial, we will have the developers, the architects, the branding consultants, and a marketing team at the table reviewing and approving design direction, she says.
"A lot of thought and experienced brainpower goes in to the best solution for the people who will occupy these homes."

So many ultrasounds can inhibit the babies growth. You should really stop before you loose one of them. They are only supposed to be used in emergency situations because they haven't been proven safe for the developing child. In fact they have been found to be quite dangerous, and heat the babies bodies up to six times the highest determined safe temperature for a fetus. Good luck, I hope they both make it. I also hope you will research ultrasounds, how they work and are able to stop getting them.posted 04/11/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Competitive eating professional, Joey Chestnut consumed a record 182 chicken wings in 10 minutes to once again earn the title of Hooters World Wing Eating Champion. His is now the the three-time champion.
While Joey was setting the record, the rest of Americas has been waiting for National Chicken Wing Day on July 29.
To celebrate, Hooters is offering an all-you-can-eat deal this coming Tuesday to see if America can polish off two million wings on a single day. Last year the country ate 1.5 million Hooters wings, and in 2014, we are going for more.
Chestnut is one of the best known competitive eaters and he once again proved he can power-consume more than just hot dogs.
He once again claimed title to the 10-minute, all-you-can-eat contest of Hooters world famous chicken wings.
The chicken wing eating event, sanctioned by Major League Eating, was part of daylong celebration of Hooters wings.
After the eating contest, 100 beautiful Hooters Girls from around the world competed in the Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant for the opportunity to become Miss Hooters International 2014.
A $30,000 cash prize was awarded as well as other perks.
Also back this year is the Miss Hooters Social concept as explained by Hooters:
For the second year, Hooters has incorporated a "Miss Hooters Social" contest into the pageant, a digital race to see which contestant can generate the most social media activity leading up to the pageant. Votes can be cast via Facebook, Twitter or the new Hooters HootClub mobile app. HootClub, now available at Hooters locations nationwide, is the foundation for Hooters new loyalty program that enables the restaurant to offer customized discounts, rewards and promotions. Fans who use HootClub to vote can cast one additional vote per day through July 21. Miss Hooters Social will be announced during the pageant on July 23 and will receive $2,000 as well as a spot to compete with the top 10 Hooters Girl finalists.
"The Hooters World Wing Eating Championship is the ideal prelude to National Chicken Wing Day, where we're inviting every American to suit up and get stuck into as many wings as they can take down in one sitting for only $12.99," said Andrew Pudduck, vice president of marketing, Hooters of America.

A lot of small businesses and restaurants sell chicken wings, but the chicken win industry is big business.
I'm getting ready to eat some Hooters wings this week, how about you?

"Beasts of the Southern Wild" is a mixture of magical realism, Southern gothic, coming-of-age movie, star turn for first-timers, disaster story and out-and-out strangeness. It's unlike any film you've seen.
This is a very, very good thing. The film, co-written and directed by Benh Zeitlin, won a Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and the Camera d'Or at Cannes, which in some circles has led to the inevitable: backlash, with some complaining that Zeitlin is another White filmmaker trying to relate the Black experience, or that he stresses imagery over story.
Have none of it.
Instead, go with your eyes as wide open as those of Hushpuppy (first-timer Quvenzhané Wallis), the 6-year-old girl who narrates the story. She lives in the Bathtub, a poor community on the wrong side of the levees in southern Louisiana. Hushpuppy makes her home in one shack near another maintained, more or less, by her father, Wink (Dwight Henry, another first-time actor).
Hushpuppy's mother died some time ago, but the girl carries her spirit in a basketball jersey, talking to her and hearing her talk. She can also commune, or thinks she can, with nature, particularly animals. It is a different kind of childhood, but Hushpuppy seems to thrive, making charcoal drawings that look like something discovered in French caves centuries after the fact -- which is her plan, a chronicle of her life that later generations will discover and study.
Wink's method of parenting is... different. He drinks too much and is given to occasional bouts of violence. He is also suffering from an unnamed illness. Yet he loves Hushpuppy, and she loves him, and the rugged lessons he is teaching her will serve her well in the strange world that is the Bathtub.
Made up of a racially mixed group of ragtag folks who just want to be left alone to drink their beer and eat crawfish, the Bathtub is marked for trouble. Since it's on the other side of the levees, a storm could be catastrophic, and a big one is coming.
Some of the residents head for safer ground. But Wink won't hear of leaving the land he loves. He often refers to his "beautiful" place -- even though the shack he lives in is barely pieced together from scraps of this and that, a mishmash of castoff material he's fashioned into a home.
Hushpuppy, too, stays behind, and, in his offbeat way, Wink tries to protect her from the storm. She dreams of a return of the aurochs, extinct beasts, rampaging their way back into the Bathtub, and to her they are as real as the rain and the rising floodwaters.
The storm comes and is as apocalyptic as advertised, leaving the Bathtub a ruined, soggy, poisoned mess. Yet Wink, Hushpuppy and the rest are resilient, strong against the elements, at least for as long as they can be. A bar survives, and a makeshift party breaks out. (Even this becomes a source of tension between Wink and Hushpuppy, a chance for him to teach her another hard-won lesson.) Forced evacuations and escapes ensue. These are people who must be dragged, literally, from the little patch of nothing where they live and will do nearly anything to get back to it.
Why? Because it's home.
In one scene, Hushpuppy and some friends make their way to a floating brothel, where, briefly, the girl gets a taste of the maternal attention she so craves. It's wonderful and it's heartbreaking, which is something that can be said of much of the film.
There is plenty of humor and sadness, but the relationship between Hushpuppy and Wink is the center of the movie. Fraught with tension at the start, by the end it is incredibly moving. Henry is fantastic, nailing a tough role in his first time out. We shouldn't like Wink, probably, but thanks to Henry's portrayal -- something in his eyes is haunted -- we do.
Wallis, meanwhile, is a revelation. Her face is magical, and not just because she's button-cute. She can shift into a glare that is equal parts adorable and menacing. Her words and her expressions make it clear: She is not a girl to be messed with, not by anyone or anything, not even the aurochs. Hers is a tough life, but you can't help believing that, no matter what struggles she faces -- and there will be many -- she's going to come out OK.

For the fortieth consecutive year countries all over the globe will celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. Founded as a way to respond to the increasing concern over the ecological crisis in 1970, the Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Wilson inspired his students to find a way to take action and involve the public. This special day is marked to remind of the importance for a movement towards a healthier planet, a clean energy policy and healthier people. For the individual this can mean many ways of taking action. Some are as simple as to turn the lights off when not in the room for example, or to use only as little water as possible. If you have unused or expired medication in your cabinet, you can ask your health provider to dispose of it safely.
In Vermont, Earth Day will be celebrated throughout the Sate. The ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington for example will offer special events for families from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier offers a presentation on the melting of the polar icecap and talks with first-hand witnesses at 7 p.m.
So what does a clean environment have in common with healthier people? Surprisingly much! If just every tenth person of the U.S. population would choose to ride the bike or the bus this day to work instead of driving a car, it would mean much less oil and coal consumption. This leads to cleaner air, more exercise for those who choose to walk or bike, thus to a healthier individual. Ideally April 22nd could inspire people to continue ecological awareness for the rest of the year. Our planet and we need it more than ever, take action, raise awareness and celebrate!

Step By Step Guide on How to Buy an Apartment in Manhattan
Buying real estate in Manhattan can be very convoluted, confusing and very stressful for many buyers.
Here are some similar, general guidelines that will be applicable to both buying Manhattan condos versus a coop. Some of you may ask, what is a co-op? The main difference between a condo and a co-op is the ownership rights conveyed to you.
1. The first step is to get a pre-approval letter from a qualified lender who specializes in Manhattan mortgages. A specialist is the key word here. Read: Purchasing Strategies for Apartments in New York, Manhattan for 2012
2. When you have identified a Manhattan property and wish to place an offer– the offer and counter offer is placed directly from agent to agent, and the process is very informal and is typically done through email. Once there is a meeting of the minds for price, terms and closing date, then it goes to the real estate attorney.
3. The seller's attorney begins the preparation of contract of sale. At that time, the buyer's attorney will begin his/her due diligence by examining the financial health of the building as well as other aspects of the offering plan and amendments. A real estate attorney is required for all property closings in NYC. Your Manhattan real estate broker has a list of vetted professionals.
4. Once everything has satisfactorily passed the attorney's due diligence for all aspects, then it is time for you to sign the contract and give the specified deposit. If you are buying into a co-op, it can range from the customary 10%-50% and higher down that the co-op board will require. This down will be held by the seller's attorney's escrow account until closing. Take note that until the contract of sale is fully executed, the seller can continue to show and entertain other offers.
5. Contact your lender as soon as you have a signed contract and start working towards getting a loan commitment letter.
6. You will receive the board application and list of financial requirements from your real estate broker. For a condo and a co-op the application materials will be similar but the actual process will be very different. Read: What a Typical Manhattan Co-op Apartments Ask For
7. You will then fill out all the application requirements and furnish your Manhattan real estate broker with all the originals stipulated in the packet.
8. When the board application is completed, it will be forwarded to the building Managing Agent. For a co-op: when the application is initially accepted, you will then be invited to to be interviewed by the board. Read: 10 Tips to Pass an Interview in NYC Co-op Apartments For condos: There is no formal interview, and your application is just reviewed for the requirements and approval is typically granted.
9. After official board approval, you can call your lender to find out when they can fund and close. Condo closings are much faster (about 60 days), assuming you can secure a loan in a timely fashion because you do not have to wait for a monthly board meeting to be on the docket before your co-op application will be reviewed. Closings in Co-op apartments 60-90+ days is not uncommon.
10. Do a walk through of the unit as soon as you know the closing date. This way, you can check for any defects that need to be remedied and addressed before closing.
11. Do another walk through right before you head out to closing on that day to make sure the issues were taken care of.
Closing costs can vary: co-ops are cheaper and condos more expensive (expect 7-10% closing cost on purchase price depending if you are buying new construction). Ask your Manhattan Realtor for a list of closing costs.

Confidence, Insecurities & More
Now, don't get all mushy on me or anything, geez.
N in Denver
david d. respondsMe, get all mushy?
Dude, I thought you were going to try to hug me there for a minute.
I saw that scene at the end of American Beauty where Kevin Spacey was in the garage, and the dad from next door was out in the rain...
Don't even go there.
Yeah, I kind of enjoy busting on guys for their own good. It's not only fun, it's helpful.
I actually got a letter a while back from a guy who came to one of my seminars and commented that he felt I was a little too harsh and condescending with the guys that attended.
I thought to myself: "Huh? Did you travel all that way and pay your good money to hear me tell you that you're a wonderful, sweet, special human being, and all you need to do is believe in yourself and everything will work for the greater good in the end?"
We all need tough, brutally honest, Cocky & Funny friends to help us wake up and see the light.
I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.
reader's commentDave,
I got your book and I've read it twice. It's helped me to pinpoint areas where I need to improve and basically understand some of why women do what they do.
However, I have a situation: Normally, I'm a smart-ass, I'm always making smart comments, and I'm generally a joker. The problem is, when I go to a club or a bar with gorgeous HBs (hot babes) my mind goes blank. It's almost like my brain locks and all I can do is look without anything to say. Needless to say, it frustrates the hell outta me. Any advice? Should I do some affirmations? How do I overcome this?
Pissed off in DC
david d. respondsI think your problem is really pretty simple.
You are experiencing something that I have been through a bazillion times. In fact, I think that most guys have been through this cycle at some point in life.
One of the ideas that I teach is: "Have one good default thing to do in each common situation."
In other words, it sounds to me like you just haven't taken the time to work out a basic system for yourself that will allow you to meet any woman you come across in one of these situations.
Here's your homework:
Take out a piece of paper right now and write down your one single favorite way to start a conversation with a woman.
Next, plan out exactly how it should go in your mind.
Next, mentally rehearse this scenario over and over and over until you have it clearly in your mind.
Finally, go out tomorrow night and use this one introduction to meet 10 women.
The next day, sit down again for a few minutes and think about how it worked for you.
Think about ways you could improve your approach, and if you come up with some good innovations, go ahead and do the same process of mentally rehearsing the new ideas until you have them down.
One thing that really makes me laugh is that most guys spend more time rehearsing their voicemail message than they do rehearsing scenarios with women.
You need one good, solid, default thing to do in each common situation with women. So pick one, and refine it until your mind no longer goes blank!

Chulip (PlayStation 2) review
"You might not expect it from a game with kissing as its central theme, but Chulip will kick your butt if youre not paying attention. Any time you try to smooch someone and fail, he or she slaps you and you lose some heart (your life meter). You start with four as your HP, and that rises every time you successfully kiss someone. Early on especially, youre going to be seeing the Game Over screen a lot."

TC TO [JOSEPH COOLIDGE?] ; 28 February 1839; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18390200-TC-JCO-01; CL 11: 37
Chelsea, Friday [late Feb.–early March? 1839]
My dear Sir,
Let it by all means be before you quit London! Where we may be when you come back, is known only to the Fates. I now find we are here on Tuesday evening, and also Wednesday evening;—to you not to Sumner! There is a choice in men and Americans: all men are not equally washy and dreary and benevolent—thank Heaven!
My Brother is in Liverpool; the letters from home are a hard stroke today, in the confusion I am otherwise in.

Ann Coulter Defends Obama's Tax Plan, "We Lost The Election"
Hell has frozen over and the Adam-appled blonde at the apocalypse has appeared, but in a shocking twist, is spewing out words that defend President Barack Obama's recovery plan for America.
As the nation heads toward the so-called 'fiscal cliff', in is none other than Ann Coulter, the most stand-in-line Republican woman in the GOP, actually chiding her fellow Republicans for not agreeing to end the historic Bush-era tax cuts for Americans who make over $200,000 a year. In essence, Coulter told Republicans that America is backing Obama, so just maybe, they should fall in line and stop wrecking the country.
Coulter went on to say that if the economy continues to fail, Americans will blame Republicans in Congress. She said Republicans are 'acting like everyone in media is expects them to act', which is immature traitors who are destroying the nation's economy just so they don't have to work with a Democrat president whose policy would likely fully end the recession and restore the economy to Clinton-era health, all at the expense of wealthy people who have not been paying their equal share of taxes under Bush.
We have not figured it out yet, but are quite sure Coulter is under some sort of spell or Obama fever.

Madly In Love With Me Day
Thursday, February 13, 2014
Madly In Love With Me Day
When: February 13th
Ladies, every year on the day before you lavish the significant other in your life with all your love, step back and prepare by focusing as much attention on yourself.
Yes, you deserve every bit as much of your love as does the object of your affections.
That is the concept behind Madly In Love With Me Day, held on February 13th, the day before Valentines Day.
It was founded by Californian self-help guru Christine Arylo, author of �Madly In Love With ME, The Daring Adventure To Becoming Your Own Best Friend�.
The philosophy is that to truly be able to show love to others, a woman must first be empowered to love herself without apology so throw away those diet books for a day, treat yourself to your favorite lunch in the company of people you know love and respect you as you are today.

Patrick Keith's sculpt is a female knight who really likes wolves. I mean, really likes wolves. She takes the theme to new heights by wearing a stylized wolf on her shield and a not-as-stylized wolf head on her shoulder. She wields a hand-and-a-half sword with just one hand and a shorter blade dangles from her hip.
Trista is a pretty good role model for other female warriors with one exception. Unfortunately being an admirer of wolves does not extended to wearing sensible hair -- Trista insists on wearing her locks in a ponytail that flows over her shield just asking for a monster to grab it.

Today was a very beautiful day. As usual, we woke up early in the morning, 8 a.m., and had breakfast as a team in the hotel. Then we went to shot around. Our trip is going very well, we are having great time and we are getting to know each other better. What makes this trip very special, are these tremendous places we visit everyday, and the new people we meet.
Today was different from the other days. We visited the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Many people are coming from all over the world to visit these towers. The Leaning Tower was surrounded by many other buildings and street vendors. The tourists who come to visit have access to buy souvenirs and to see these famous building.
A little story about the Leaning Towers: the Tower was not supposed to lean. During the construction, once they get to the third floor in, the tower start leaning then, but they keep building until the eighth floor.
It feels so great to be here. Visiting the famous Leaning Tower make us feel so special. I would love to thank everybody who made this trip possible for us. Also this trip helps us as a team because we get to know each other better during the two weeks here in Italy. And basketball-wise, we are having fun beating these teams by big scores.
It feels great to be WILDCAT right now here in ITALY! Ciao!

In Smallville, Clark walks through the fields of corn, marveling in their beauty. Pa walks up beside his son and tells him that lately it has looked more like work to him. He's thinking about selling the farm. Clark is shocked, and tells his father that they can't sell his home. Pa just smiles and tells Clark that everything has its time and place, and Clark's home was in the sky. Flying his father back to the farmhouse, Clark tells his father that he came looking for parenting advice. Before his father can comment, they touch down at the front porch and Ma rushes out to meet them. She asks Clark what he had done, and when Pa asks she tells them about Lois' newscast. In a blur Superman is in the air and heading for Metropolis.
Lois is giving a news report when suddenly the madness sweeping Metropolis affects her. She leaps up on the desk, hurling her bottle of Yes! across the room and scream that they are all going to die.
Superman arrives in the Fortress to find Mia waiting for him. She demands to know why he abandoned her there after Natasha and Traci left. He tells her that he wants to help her use her powers, but at the mention of Supergirl Mia becomes upset. Then suddenly a burst of energy replaces Mia with Supergirl. Grabbing his daughter's hands, Superman heads to Metropolis.
Arriving in the city, they find the streets deserted. Then they are suddenly overcome by a mob of people, all chanting "Yes". Pulling Supergirl above the crowd, Superman looks around to figure out what they are running from. Suddenly a blur knocks the two out of the sky. Getting up from the ground, Superman accepts the hand of Dr. Metropolis. The doctor tells them that the whole city has gone nuts, and the mechanical Superman is always there. The three take off together to stop him.
Superman tries to catch the robot, but proves unable. Supergirl tells him to lead him to them and they'll take care of him. Lead by Superman, the robot is caught by Dr. Metropolis and Supergirl and brought down. Landing beside him, Superman asks the robot who he is. The figure replies that he is Superman. Supergirl confirms it a moment later when she remembers him as Superman from the future. The future Superman says that he has come back to prevent his future from happening. He tells Superman that it all began now, with the beverage Yes! He tells Kal too look closer into the drink. Superman does, and finds nano-organisms swimming through the liquid. Superman suddenly realizes that Lois is still out there. Taking off into the sky, he finds his wife across the city in the middle of a crowd, crazed by the trendy coffee. Picking up his wife, Superman asks how he can cure everyone. An electromagnetic pulse would disable pacemakers and kill those using them. He could try radiation from his heat vision, but then he risks irradiating those he is trying to save. But there is always a risk, and with a burst of energy Superman destroys all of the nano-organisms infecting the crowd.
Superman moves toward his wife, but before he can speak to her she charges off for more Yes! The future Superman says that in order to win, they must take the battle to the Futuresmiths. Superman says that it is not his place to alter the course of humanity, but his future self tells him that in the future, Lois is dead. Clark needs no more convincing as he soars skyward to the Futuresmiths' stronghold. The future Superman follows a second later.
Moving though the portal, Superman finds Metropolis burning.
Story - 1: There was one thing I liked about this issue. One. I'll get that out of the way real quickly so I can begin my rant. I liked seeing Clark fly over the cornfields. I don't think that we see him enjoying his powers enough and seeing him do something simple like this is fun.
On to the bad part, which consisted of the other 98% of the book.
First off there was the choice to go with a time format. These little notes weren't needed. The entire story happened chronologically so the notes are just extraneous information. Plus, all they really do is confuse the reader. Then we take off to Smallville where Pa is going to sell the farm. What? I'm sorry. I accept that progress is needed, and characters can't all be static, but there is no reason to have his parents sell the farm. This really bothered me. Then there is his father's remark of Clark's home being on Krypton. We've had 17 years of storyline establishing that Clark is an earthling. His own father wouldn't say that his home isn't with them. Next we have an appearance by Dr. Metropolis. Enough said. Then later Superman risks killing thousands of people because there is "always a risk". This doesn't sound like Superman. He wouldn't make a quick decision that could possibly kill thousands. This was sloppy and irresponsible. Overall we had a pointless issue in a bad story arc that I can't wait to be over. Normally I look forward to the landmark issues. I really don't even want to see issue 200 next month.
Art - 2: The same art we get every month, poor facial expressions and strange bodily contortions on every page. I don't like this art, and I really can't wait to get some decent artists on these books. We've just got two more months.
Under expectations.
Cover Art - 3: An average cover. It doesn't really strike me, but it is an improvement over the covers we've seen in past months. There is no lack of a background, and the cover actually relates to the issue, but beyond that there isn't much to say.

Social learning is an important process in the development of behaviour in many species. It is involved in information transfer concerning food that leads, in some species, to food preferences. In our experiment an adult dog (the observer) was allowed to observe another adult dog (the demonstrator) while the latter was disappearing behind one of four projecting blinds. In one trial the demonstrator dog found food behind the projecting blind, but not in the other. After the demonstrator had inspected the potential food location, it returned to the observer dog and they were allowed to interact and to have snout contact. Afterwards, the observer dog was allowed to inspect the potential food locations, while no olfactory cues from the food were given. The observer dogs were able to adjust their search behaviour depending on the knowledge gained by observing and interacting with a conspecific. Food availability to the demonstrator dog during the demonstration phase increased the willingness of observer dogs to have snout contact with their demonstrators and increased their motivation to search for food. In contrast to snout contact, however, food availability to the demonstrator dog had no influence on the decision to go to a particular food location. Furthermore, our results suggest that dogs use snout contact as a source of information to decide whether to go to a potential food location or not.

Ross Greenburg, the ace documentarian who ran HBO's boxing program from 2000-2011, and was with that network for 33 years, put together a doc for CBS-Showtime called "Mayweather," which ran on Saturday night on CBS, in primetime.
Much of the material wasn't breaking news for boxing fans, but nevertheless, as a fan of the sport who seeks the sweet science to be accepted and revered by the masses as it should be, it was good to see the sport on in primetime, on a network.
LL Cool J narrated, as Floyd kicked things off by talking about how his mom told him he was special. "You're different from the other kids," the fighter recalls his mom saying. "I never knew what she meant," he said, until he finally did.
The program, written by Steven Stern, featured some superb stills, and interviews with top drawer pugilists and non-fighters like Oscar De La Hoya and Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant.
We see video of Floyd dancing and grinning, and also buying jewelry and throwing money.
"No other athlete on the planet was better at cashing in on his talent and his personality," LL says as we see highlights from Money in recent years. NY Daily News writer Tim Smith admits he finds elements of the Mayweather persona distasteful and realizes that he acts up usually around PPV time.
Kobe talks about Floyd's drive, and we see the boxer in action against Miguel Cotto, and the fighter talking about how he's happy if you buy his fights, love or hate him.
LL then talks about the upbringing, about growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Floyd's cousin says that Floyd used to go rollerskating, and that he was "obnoxious" to the other kids. Another cousin recalls that Floyd used to win her cash shooting dice, when he was 11.
Floyd Sr. says Floyd used to throw a pro type hook and uppercut as a toddler. Dad was called "Joe Jackson," because he pushed the boy so hard, we're told.
Mom did drugs, though, and dad was also prone to misdeeds, so Floyd didn't have it easy emotionally. Floyd Sr was shot when Floyd was a year old, and was holding the boy. Floyd said he saw his dad sell his mom drugs, too. When Floyd was 16, Sr. got nailed for dealing; he did 3 1/2 years in prison. Floyd says he had to become a man at 16. "I had to provide for myself," he says. He kept going to the gym, however.
We see home video of pre-teen Floyd, being playful on his block. His grandma Bernice raised him, he says, so he happily bought her a big house when he got some pro cash.
He went to the Olympics in 1996 but he lost in the semis. We see him debuting as a pro, with Roger in his corner, in October 1996. He tells Al Bernstein after an early bout that he showboats to entertain, to sell tix.
We skip to 2006 and his skills, what makes him special, is discussed. Floyd talks about the Top Rank years, and how Oscar was the focus. Smith says Floyd always chafed at his second tier status. He left Arum, and his publicist Kelly Swanson says he recast his image. No more "Pretty Boy," now he was "Money."
We see him fondling stacks, kissing wads, which of course I don't care for at all. The glorification of money sends a horrid message and reinforces maybe the worst element of our culture every day. Leonard Ellerbe insists Floyd is playing a character when he fixates on money.
We see Floyd needling Oscar before their 2007 fight. Smith recalls that his oldest daughter, not a fight fan, was interested in that tussle. That fight was the most lucrative in boxing history of course, so she wasn't alone. Oscar says that Floyd got inside his head, and that made him want to KO Floyd. "That took me out of my gameplan," Oscar says. Floyd took a split decision and Oscar says that it was a bittersweet memory, because the event was so huge, but he lost and that stings.
Next, we see footage of the Ricky Hatton beating. The Manny Pacquiao non-fight is referenced, interestingly. LL says that the drug testing issue derailed The Fight, which is a simplistic reduction, many would say. Oscar says that the non-fight isn't Floyd's fault, which is also up for vociferous debate, if you're not bored of the topic, and most are. Floyd says peoples' minds are made up and Smith says it was an opportunity missed.
Floyd then handles Juan Manuel Marquez. Next, we see Shane Mosley buckling Floyd but the unbeaten man collects himself and cruises to a win. The Victor Ortiz victory is touched upon. The "two-piece" payback is seen and Oscar concedes some bad sportsmanship was on display. Michigan based writer David Mayo fully defends Floydf and blames Ortiz for not protecting himself at all times.
Footage of Floyd in handcuffs plays next. His jail stint, for a domestic assault charge against his ex, is touched on. Ellerbe says Floyd sucked it up and did his time, while Floyd says there "is nothing cool about losing your freedom." He says he doesn't want to repeat that pattern.
Floyd says that his dad being back in the fold is a good thing. Dad helps him tighten his D, and "only wants the best" for him. We then pivot to Robert Guerrero, and his back story. His wife Casey's battle with cancer is discussed. He says they learned from each other, from boxing and from fighting cancer.
Guerrero says that Floyd doesn't scare or intimidate him.
LL wraps up with a synopsis of Floyd's reign. "When you come into my domain, it's a different world," Mayweather says. "Don't make no mistakes, and always bring your A game," he says, as a warning to Guerrero.
Note: I am told that Greenburg was able to use footage of Mayweather fighting on HBO because rights were negotiated for footage to revert to the fighter and promoter Golden Boy after a span of exclusivity for HBO. That practice has occurred more in recent years and is not an automatic. Rights can revert from between 12 to 18 or so months, I'm told.
I read the ratings were very poor for CBS.
Not judging but we have to remember we boxing fans are very forgiving of our passionate sport.
The non diehard fan doesn't give a crap about a boxer who has 3 different
allegations of roughing up women over the last ten years with the last arrest a year ago
resulting in jail time.
Despite what truly went on that market doesn't bite.
I've been reading your Mayweather posts for a few weeks now and it seems you have something personal against the dude. If you don't then there's really no need wasting so much energy on a guy you most likely do not know and who doesn't know you either. Seriously. People expend too much energy on celebs sometimes and it's funny to me. They are human like you and I- they'd never be perfect.
Just watch the fights (or switch off if you don't feel like doing that). Let the man live his life.
Wow! Sorry Money May and I are boys, but he even knows that he has been WRONG! And he MANS up to it. And expect for people to rag on him because of it. It's not about knowing him, anyway. And more is expected of "celebs." And not a single violent-to-women punk gets a break. He gets broke.
Money May is a work in process with all humans to respect -- not just "The Money Team" and his groupies. He is maturing, and said that. So he's willing to turn the corner for change of his bad-boy behavior. And YUP! He will be criticized. It comes with the territory. If you have fame, on your arse, people are going to throw metaphoric flame. And you have to suck it up and just continue to be in the game. Holla!
i mean dude i even wrote "not judging" and included myself in "forgiving"....
how the f do you try to call me out for giving an opinion why the ratings were so poor for such a good time slot?
Wow! My DEEPEST, DEEPEST condolences, Tlig. You guys are in my prayers. Strong guys, you are. Holla!
Thanks man, much appreciated.
Thanks man.
Greenburg who used to be with HBO and is currently with Showtime! Has been on "somebody elses" payroll! Friggun guy will discredit anybody that doesn't chime with his employer's politics! He is a friggun Yes Man for a very large entity! He doesn't have the brains for more independent endeavours! He is the simpleton that did away with Klitschko fights on HBO, saying they weren't exciting! Never did a John Duddy fight, when his rocket was soaring! But wasted his time on obscure bantamweight fights like Vic Darchinyan, Rafael Marquez, Vasquez etc. And overated aged fighters such as Glen Johnson! Fuch Ross! Leave Mayweather be Mr. Woods!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Nothing can tear us from the grip of His mighty love
We've only glimpsed, His vast affection
Heard whispers of His heart and passion
It's pouring down
His love is deep, His love is wide and it covers us
His love is fierce, His love is strong, it is furious
His love is sweet, His love is wild
And it's waking hearts to life
The Father loves and sends His son
The Son lays down His life for all
He lavishes His love upon us
He calls us now, His sons and daughters
He's reaching out
And it's waking hearts to life
He is waking hearts to life
He is waking hearts to life

TEMPE, Ariz.—Members of the Arizona State volleyball team spent the summer of 2014 honing their skills in preparation for the upcoming season, including incoming junior Mercedes Binns and sophomore Kizzy Willey.
Binns and Willey were chosen to participate in the U.S. Collegiate National Team program, which trained and competed in conjunction with the USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships from June 22 to July 1 in Minneapolis, Minn.
Overall Thoughts On Competing In Minnesota
WILLEY: Honestly, the more opportunities you have to get reps and improve, the better. I saw Minnesota as an opportunity to be coached by some of the best coaches in the country and to be competing against some of the best players in the country as well. I had an amazing experience and created some lasting friendships with my teammates as well as my coaches.
BINNS: Competing in Minnesota was overall a really fun experience. I learned so much from it and got the chance to play with some amazing players all over the nation.
Favorite Part On The Court
WILLEY: I really enjoyed competing in general. When we got to the convention center and were able to play on center court in front of surrounding grandstands and hundreds of young girls, it was incredible. The energy was amazing and the girls I was able to play with were so much fun. To top it all off, we were able to wear "USA" on our backs and represent our country.
BINNS: My favorite part on the court was definitely the competition. Most of the athletes involved in the camp were from different schools, so it was fun to see everyone come together and compete in their own way.
Favorite Part Off The Court
WILLEY: There are too many to count! That I had the opportunity to spend time and create friendships with girls from all over the country was enjoyable. I loved being able to play and then compete against Mercedes as well as my assistant coach, Linda Hampton-Keith, and create all of those memories on and off the court. As a team, we went to the Mall of America, which was amazing and had some adventures around the city of Minneapolis. The day we moved from our dorm rooms that we stayed in during training to the Hilton for competition was a glorious day. We all fell into our huge beds at the hotel and just laid there for a good 15 minutes just enjoying the simple pleasure of the soft, unlofted, clean bed. I learned quickly that I haven't missed dorm room beds, to say the least.
BINNS: My favorite part off of the court was hanging out with my teammates. I definitely made bonds with my teammates that won't ever be broken. It's amazing how close you can get to people you barely know.
Biggest Surprise
WILLEY: Biggest surprise..... hmmm. I'd have to say I really enjoyed being able to play and compete alongside two U of A players as well as room with one for the duration of our competition (Rachel Rhoades and Veronica Lewis). Rivalries aside, we all had a great time getting to know each other off of the court and learning how to play together. Come season, our loyalty and hearts will no doubt be with our own teams and we will be able to compete as usual but off the court, I had the opportunity to get to know Rache and Rons and I developed a huge respect for them as both players and individuals alike. (NO PITY) ;)
Binns: The biggest surprise for me was actually making the team. I guess it was all so surreal until I landed in Minnesota.
Most Challenging Aspect Of The Trip
WILLEY: Every single day is a challenge. To wake up very early (there was a two hour time difference from Arizona) and be prepared to compete both physically and mentally is tough. Aside from the obvious though, Minnesota was very humid for an Arizona girl and the second day of training we were informed that the gym's A/C was broken. The recurring theme for the duration of training was to "embrace adversity," and that we did.
BINNS: The most challenging part of the training was the practices. Three hour practices, twice a day that we're three hours apart from one another, working hard. In these practices were so many skills that everyone was taught, it was a little frustrating at times.
How The Summer Advanced Their Skills
WILLEY: As I said before, the opportunity to play under the best coaches in the country as well as to be competing against and playing beside some of the best players in the country, definitely helped me improve my own game. Likewise, as a high intensity player, being able to compete in such a high-pressure atmosphere also tested me in my mental toughness as a volleyball player and taught me how to relax and have patience in my game.
BINNS: The camp helped me improve my serve and helped me realize just how much of an option I can be for my team.
What Have They Learned That Will Help Their Fellow Sun Devils To Become Stronger Athletes
WILLEY: Bill Neville (CNT Coach) taught us during training that every great team needs 4 players.... a stud, a leader, a stabilizer, a winner. I truly believe our ASU team has multiple people who fill each of those responsibilities. I think that if we just focus on being great teammates and finding and then fulfilling our own personal responsibilities within the team, we will find success regardless of the opponent.
The Arizona State volleyball team opens the 2014 season at the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational, Aug. 29-31, in Manoa, Hawaii. ASU will play its first home match, an exhibition against Canada's Mount Royal University, on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 7 p.m. PT.

Jazz Mafia is presenting a Prince Birthday tribute at Yoshi's in San Francisco this Saturday night.
This collaborative of Jazz instrumentalists, composers, arrangers, soul vocalists, and hip-hop artists, collectively known as Jazz Mafia has been a creative force in the Bay Area music scene for almost 15 years and is fast emerging as the West Coast's most prolific musical organization.
Led by multi-instrumentalist Adam Theis, the 40 piece hip-orchestra, Jazz Mafia, has toured nationally. At the same time, the collective has backed up some of the most respected names in the business, including Lyrics Born, Ledesi, Blackalicious, Thomas Dolby, Santana, Big Freedia, Chali2na, Martin Luther, DJ Qbert, Mixmaster Mike, Kid Koala, KRS One, Booker T, Eric Lindell, and The New Master Sounds. This is a working musician's organization, with members contributing horns and strings on over a hundred recordings. Jazz Mafia has won fans for its various annual birthday tributes, including Michael Jackson, Prince, and other masters of music who have composed the soundtrack of the American experience.
The 2014 Prince Tribute will include an all-star 10 piece band, featuring vocal quartet virtuosos, Trance Thompson, Nataly Michelle Wright and Tim Brown (TNT). Recently these four blew the Independent's doors off the hinges at the Undercover SF: STAND! Tribute to Sly Stone. Music-lovers can look forward to enjoying trademark Jazz Mafia style, live re-envisioned, remakes of Prince classics, as well as rare cuts and B sides.

Hello and Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!!!
I bought this dress new from David's Bridal and had slight alterations done to it (around bust/rib cage area). The color is Soft White, it is fully lined and is an A-Line shape dress (very flattering for many body types). I had a basic bustle added. I wore flat shoes, so the dress is fit for someone who is 5'5″-5'6″. The dress is in GREAT condition! We had it dry cleaned, and they even ran it through a second time to make sure we had excellent results (because they knew we were going to be passing it on to another bride). If you are in the LA area, I welcome you to come try it on. Otherwise, please check your measurements with mine (bust 34, waist 28, hips 34) and see if you think it might fit you :) Or, check it out at your nearest David's Bridal. This dress is definitely comfortable and flowy, (made from the softest material- Organza), so if you have slightly larger measurements, this dress might still fit fine. I wore this dress for my reception only. It was so comfortable to dance in and wear all evening long! In the photos, the black bow was made by my sister. They have a similar one on sale at David's Bridal in their Vera Wang collection. I got so many compliments on this dress! It really does look great with a signature necklace or sash! I will include the original sash that came with the dress, as seen on the model on the website. Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any questions!! :)

You must keep asking questions of yourself: "What's the unmet need?", "How are we doing?", "How can we do better?".
Treat them how you would like to be treated yourself.
Consumers are fed up with mass-produced mediocrity. "Authenticity" — a genuine product rather than a created manifestation from the brains of the marketing department, will generate customers for life.
Inspire customers to spread the "legend" to others.
Customers hate to be "sold at" but they love to buy.
Make it easy to understand for your customers and for yourselves.
Is this really so very hard to deliver? Evidence would suggest that it is…
But think of the benefits to you if your business could deliver this way!
Robert Craven is an expert contributor to Marketing Donut. He runs The Directors' Centre and is the author of business best-sellers Kick-Start Your Business and Bright Marketing.
Consumers are becoming increasingly jaded as a result of excessive contact from businesses, especially via email. In fact, British businesses risk alienating almost 90 per cent of customers through poor communications, according to new research.
A 2012 report commissioned by Pitney Bowes, Why Some Customers are Just Not That Into You, was conducted across the UK, France, Germany and the USA. It asked more than 5,000 consumers about their preferences in communications with brands and identified the seven most intrusive and annoying communication techniques used by companies:
1. Failing to provide an opt-out of emails and texts
2. Sending customers advertising emails every week
3. Requesting that customers support your brand's charity or ethical concerns
4. Addressing customers as though they have never been a customer before
5. Sending offers from third parties
6. Encouraging customers to interact with other consumers via an online community
7. Inviting customers to attend branded lifestyle events.
Failing to provide an opt-out of emails and texts (an illegal offence) came out as the most infuriating marketing technique, with 89 per cent of respondents claiming that this is intrusive. This was closely followed by sending customers advertising emails every week (88 per cent). Monthly emails were considered to be intrusive by 53 per cent of respondents, while just 23 per cent said they'd be annoyed to receive the same message by post.
The next most irritating techniques were: being requested to support a brand's charity or ethical concerns (86 per cent); being addressed as though you have never been a customer before (86 per cent); being sent offers from third parties (82 per cent); being encouraged to interact with other consumers via an online community (77 per cent); and being invited to attend branded lifestyle events (76 per cent).
British businesses need to tread carefully when checking customer satisfaction levels too; those companies that call their customers risk annoying 48 per cent of them, whereas a survey form would be acceptable to three quarters (74 per cent).
When running an ecommerce store over busy periods of time, it can be extremely hard to manage a thousand things at once. However the most important factor in any business is ensuring that your customers are happy.
Facebook fan pages are the prime place for people to complain and these complaints can be the most difficult to tackle. Within an open space for everyone to see, comments will be seen by fans of the group and viral word of mouth soon develops. A common saying is that if one person has had a bad experience they will tell ten other people, however on a Facebook fan page with 6,000 likes- the amount of people hearing about this experience will increases dramatically.
In a study carried out by the CMO council of 1300 consumers and 132 senior marketers, 46% of consumers stated that they would expect a reply to their query within 24 hours.
No 1 Rule: You may have already heard this one before but it is worth repeating. Do not ignore comments on your business profile or Facebook fan page; it can be a lot worse than ignoring an email. Customers can soon feel neglected if they do not obtain a response and are left to think about what is happening next. The worst thing you can do is delete comments as this adds fuel to a fire that can soon get too hot to handle.
Think of a way you can help and respond like you would over the telephone or via email. If the comment indicates you are at fault, 'remember your customer is always right' and apologise before you even begin to solve the issue.
Once you have responded to a query, ensure that yourself or someone in your organisation monitors the conversation taking place on Facebook and responds on a regular basis. This reaction will reassure customers that you care and calm the situation down.
If a customer has threatened to spread bad vibes about your business or set up another Facebook group to encourage others to bad mouth you, contact this person directly via email and see if you can solve the matter out of the public eye.
If you do receive a positive response from the way you handle a customer complaint, you may find yourself receiving a worthy comment like the below:
"I had a real moan about your company yesterday - as you were unable to supply a pair of shoes that I specifically ordered. In hindsight, I can appreciate that you must have been incredibly busy over the Christmas period, and I thank you for your email of apology from ----------. I would order from you again, and apologise, once again for my bad manners."
If other customers read this comment, they instantly become reassured that you are a company that cares and deals with complaints respectively.
The bottom line is; consumers want more experiences, more engagement, more rewards, and more reasons to connect with each other and brands through social media.
Jessica Hodkinson is writing for Daniel Footwear and runs her own PR blog site.
Most businesses lose around 10 to 30 per cent of their customers per year, for which bad customer service accounts for 68 per cent.
This means if you have 100 customers you could lose 20 customers every year due to bad customer service (even if you don't agree it's bad!)
These ex-customers will each tell 8-16 people about their bad experience, which means up to 320 people could be thinking bad things about you. And all because you didn't know your clients were unhappy.
However, if your customers are able to tell you they're not happy, and you act on this feedback swiftly, you could retain 95 per cent of them — or 19 out of 20.
And this 19 will be so happy they'll each tell 4–6 people. So you'll have 114 people thinking brilliant things about your business. And all because you were able to capture and act on customer feedback.
Kerry Morrow is marketing executive at Customer Sure which offers customer service software, including a free 30-day trial.
The old adage — "the customer is king" — came from a time when companies aimed to provide great customer service for their clientele. Great service was literally about serving customers. In other words, service was something done to a customer.
One of the consequences of the World Wide Web is that customer service has been commoditised. For example, Amazon provides outstanding customer service, whereby packages can be tracked, speed of delivery can be chosen, and it is all completely automated. Companies used to try and differentiate themselves by the quality of their customer service, but in this environment that becomes almost impossible.
Customers are no longer attracted to, or retained by, companies, due to the service they deliver. Rather, in order to become "sticky" or attractive to customers, companies now have to concentrate on the experience they provide. While a service is done to a customer, an experience is done with a customer. So, while Amazon delivers great service, it also provides an experience by allowing customers to write and, therefore, share reviews and opinions about particular books. For Amazon, the customer is no longer "king" but a partner helping them deliver great experiences for others.
The web is teaching us to no longer be passive receivers of goods and information, but rather, to be active participants. Websites require us to click, state a preference or provide a comment. This is seeping into all aspects of our lives.
For example, the biggest shows on TV today are reality programmes like The X Factor, Britain's or America's Got Talent and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, etc. What these shows have in common is that they are no longer just passive viewing. It is the audience who decides the outcome. In other words, they are no longer simply entertainment shows for us to watch but, rather, vehicles in which the viewer becomes involved.
Herein is the point. Consumers today are empowered. They have a plethora of ways to talk directly to companies. Moreover, through social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Linkedin, or forums and blogs, and sites such as Trip Advisor, consumers can now influence the purchasing decisions of people whom they have never even met.
What used to be most important for companies was the image they conveyed. Millions of pounds would be spent by big firms, whose agencies would try and create irresistible messages. Consumers had little right of reply. Now, through the web, customers have an outlet and are literally producing millions of messages about companies every day. It is now less important what a company says about themselves and far more relevant what others say about them. Brand has gone from "image created" to "reputation earned".
Brands were created in creative agencies, but reputations are earned through delivering great experiences. Today, even delivering a good service can still leave a customer cold. However, providing an experience, whereby a customer is involved, is always emotional because a customer is giving something of themselves. This involvement makes it more likely that a customer will talk about you and spread the word. This will not only enhance your company's reputation, but will help to deliver referrals into your business by creating positive word of mouth in the marketplace.

1. Focus on the customer and provide world-class customer service. Understand their wants, needs and desires — build your business to deliver these.
2. Establish your brand and values. Build a brand that has the basic values to achieve what the customer requires and clearly defines your business and its way of operating.
3. Establish a customer-focused culture. Build a team that lives and breathes your values, making world-class customer service the heart of every team and successfully growing your business.
4. Make sure quality is in everything you do. Make sure that everything you do is done to the best ability of you and your teams – always strive to give the best service every day with every person you interact with.
5. Reward and incentivise to develop a motivated and happy team. A motivated and happy team will lead to happy customers, which leads to success — listen to and look after your team.
6. Manage your cash. Cash is sanity and profit is vanity, a business will go bankrupt due to lack of cash, not lack of profit. Understand where your money comes from and where it goes.
7. Develop and communicate a clear vision, strategies and plans. Know what you are trying to achieve and have a plan to get there. Share the vision, strategies and plans with all your teams and partners.
8. Make your customers the heart of every team and make them feel special. Happy and satisfied customers are loyal and keep you successfully retailing.
9. Retail is detail. Get the details right for the customer and look after the detail — understand what is happening and make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's.
10. It's not rocket science. Retail is one of the oldest forms of business — we buy a product and sell it on to the end consumer with a margin; make sure that your margin delivers a profit.
11. Make decisions – just do it. Do not procrastinate: analyse the information, make decisions and give it a go — if it doesn't work, try another way.
12. Manage with facts and information. Use the data and information you have in your business. Keep your emotions in check and make decisions based on solid information, analysis and research.
13. Don't forget to sell your products and your business. After all we are in the retail business to sell products to customers — that is the reason they visit your stores and what they require from your business.
14. Be yourself and enjoy. This is your journey to achieving your potential in retail — make sure you take pleasure in it.

Thinner Thursday....
Thursday, February 03, 2011
I thought maybe if I put the title down in writing it will happen, kind of like "If you build it, they will come".
Thank you everyone for your encouragement I have not figured out how to respond to each post or if there is even a way to?
We have gotten someone interested in the rental house to buy it, so please everyone pray that it will work out.
I did stray last night I ate to much apple sauce with animal crackers, BUT, I am proud it was not the usual bag of chips I would have done in the past.
I am still looking for an easy to understand Bible Study if anyone knows of one.
We had a sad evening last night, my daughter went out to feed Fuzzy (our chicken) and an animal had gotten into the pen and killed him
But looking to the good side, on my new job we had a Webinar and it went very good for our first one. I am getting very excited about this job and what it may bring.
Stealing this from another blog I saw here are my goals for today:
1. Drink all my water plus some
2. journal all my food
3. stay w/in my numbers today
4. finish cleaning the rental house
5. Bible Study
Again I want to thank all of you for your words and encouragement...

It sounds like you made good eating choices yesterday! Applesauce is way better than chips! Way to look on the positive side.
Sorry about the animal and I don't know of any bible studies offhand.
Have a great day!

I love "group" Bible studies, but they're not always possible to find. My favorites so far have been Beth Moore studies. I JUST bought Kay Arthur's "How to Study your Bible" and the accompanying workbook. I am fascinated by her system of "marking" her Bible and taking it apart line by line and word by word. I haven't started it yet, but I'm planning to next week. I also started reading my Bible through again on the 1st. I did the 90 day program last winter and it was just faster than I cared for. I'm going to do a 6 month "attack" this time. And instead of reading it cover to cover, I'm reading it chronologically this time. I think it will be interesting.
If you can get your hands on a copy of Beth Moore's books..."Get out of this pit" "So long, insecurity" or "Breaking Free", they are awesome books! They're really making me look at some stuff that I had no idea even existed deep inside. You might read one of them and look up the verses that she includes.
Another thing is that I have started memorizing Scripture--just a few verses a month. My January verses were Ps 40:1-3. Check them out!
Hang in there sweetie!

Exit Signs, Fire and Emergency Signs
Post fire exit signs and help people easily locate emergency exits and fire equipment
Post emergency exit signs and fire safety signs to make sure your employees know where go in an emergency. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that every facility have at least two exit routes to be considered safe. These routes should be clearly marked with OSHA-approved fire exit signs and evacuation signs so that employees know where to go, and fire fighters can locate emergency equipment.

Why hasn't Google developed such a suite as good as the Nokia suite that would almost 100% allow us to use most of our phones' basic functions on our PC?

Google unlike Samsung and Nokia and such is a service company that wants to bind you to its cloud (sorry for the buzz word).
You can see it with Gmail, Google Docs, Google+, Google Voice and of course Google search which all are (more or less) agnostic of used operating systems, hardware and so on. They all operate in the cloud, the only dependancy is a decent browser.
And so does Android. You aren't bound to even own a PC if you have an Android device at all. It's meant to be a replacement for some of the stuff that you currently do on a PC. For a comparison: Only with iOS 5 has Apple removed the hard dependancy to have iTunes installed for backups and updates of ones iOS device.
Rephrasing your question to something more constructive:
In this case: Yes, there are good answers available. The
Other solutions include e.g. AirDroid, which allows you to manage your Android device from your PCs browser:

Yes, clever titles and cute packaging attracted us to the Green With Envy Mao Feng Tea ($12), but under closer inspection it sounds great. Apparently this delicate peach-apricot infusion won over the hearts of people who don't even like green tea to begin with! Sounds like a summery treat worth sipping on.

|Acoustic and perceptual measurements of prosody production on the profiling elements of prosodic systems in children by children with autism spectrum disorders
|Joshua J. Diehl
|University of Rochester
|Rhea Paul
|Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
|Linguistic Field:
|Prosody production atypicalities are a feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), but behavioral measures of performance have failed to provide detail on the properties of these deficits. We used acoustic measures of prosody to compare children with ASDs to age-matched groups with learning disabilities and typically developing peers. Overall, the group with ASD had longer utterance durations on multiple subtests on a test of prosodic abilities, and both the ASD and learning disabilities groups had higher pitch ranges and pitch variance than the typically developing group on one subtest. Acoustic differences were present even when the prosody was used correctly. These findings represent differences in the fine details of the acoustic output beyond its functional interpretation in both clinical groups.

Sure, you can use this Gorilla Mobile ($30) virtually anywhere you can wrap it's little legs around a sturdy surface, but what sold us on the idea was seeing it wrapped around a bike handle. Cool idea! You can now listen to your ipod, use your GPS, or take a call on speaker anywhere you want, hands free with this little gadget. It's so cute and useful that we're thinking you might need a few of these.
