Structured Methods and Striking Moments: Using Question Sequences in "Living" Ways
Lowe, Roger D. (2005) Structured Methods and Striking Moments: Using Question Sequences in "Living" Ways. Family Process, 44(1), pp. 65-75.
|PDF (95kB)
This article draws together two seemingly incompatible practices in social constructionist therapies: the use of structured questioning methods (associated with solution-focused and narrative therapies) and the poetic elaboration of "striking moments" (associated with conversational therapies). To what extent can we value and utilize both styles of practice? Beginning with practitioners' concerns about the use of structured question sequences, I explore possibilities for re-situating these methods in different conceptual and metaphorical frames, selectively drawing on ideas from the philosophy of striking moments. The aim is not to reduce one therapeutic style to another, but to encourage the teaching and practice of structured methods in more creative, improvisational and "living" ways.

Do they make them for our car
feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Actually there are instances where they have broken.
But with that being said it really depends on the combination and the way in which it is being used.
Thank you,

I stand corrected :)
Very few failures in the stock axles. Enlighten us on why you are looking for a replacement?
I've seen one break first hand. Keep in mind the car in question is repeatedly launched on drag radials.
We had quite a few passes on our drag car on the OEM axles before it let go. We did all of our passes on drag radials. It was only over a period of time that this happened after repeated launches. So the OEM ones will last for a while, but they are not bullet proof.

i believe it was a faulty dealer install but all the bolts completley threaded out and i figure if i am replacing might as well upgrade

Lee, who will graduate in May and compete next year as a graduate student, has never made a "B" in his life. He boasts a perfect cumulative GPA of 4.0 in his major of mechanical engineering.
"This is a great honor," said the Fuquay-Varina native. "In my position, we don't want to get any recognition on the football field, but to get recognized for this is great."
Lee's dream is to use his engineering degree by working for a Nascar team after graduation.
"I want to design anything and everything to make cars faster." He says that balancing football and academics has never been a problem for him.
"I've only had to pull one all-nighter since I've been in college," he laughs, but adds that it during the football season.
Andre Brown is enrolled in the first-year college program, but hopes to one day major in computer science or a related field. The rookie says that having to attend prep school for a year after high school was "embarrassing" and that one of his biggest regrets was "slacking off" academically during his senior year.
"When I finally got to NC State, my number-one goal was to make academic All-ACC," he says. "This means more to me than anything I did on the football field this year."
Brown posted a 3.10 GPA for the fall semester and has a combined 3.02 (he began classes at NC State during the second summer session of 2005). In addition to his football ambitions, Brown wants to one day design computer video games.

Need A Price Quote
Hey guys. i am looking into selling my nova and getting something alittle older. My nova is a 1974 and has a great body. i have put new quarters on and the rear inner quarter. i have also put brand new stock fenders and nice inner fenders. I haveput new leaf springs and shocks on the car. Also has a brand new gas tank. it is a running car and only needs to be cleaned up under the hood and if u dont like the stock interior that may need to get redone. it runs and drives good put dont forget it is only stock. it has a v8 2 brl with a 3 speed and a 10 bolt rear end (not possi traction). If anyone knows how much this is worth please let me know. I was hoping aroung $3500-$4500. Is this too much.
Go here and finish putting in the info on your car......
Doc here,
It is worth only what the market will bare in your area, AND what someone is willing to pay..and what your willing to part with it for..
In my area, (San Francisco) a pre smog Nova in fair to good shape can bring as much as $5000 to $7000 ... but then again we have tough smog laws , and no rust here..and a lot of folk that are willing to spend more than it is worth, just to say "I have one of those"...and it don't need smog".
In a bidding environment, you may reserve it at $2000, and actually get $7000 if you have a pair of bullheaded bidders..but, then again..the deal isn't done until the cashier's check clears the bank either..
If you put it on e-bay you might get a good response. It doesn't matter if you put a $2K or $5K reserve on it -- you just get to chose whether you want to sell or not if it doesn't meet reserve.
A lot of people won't bid on reserve auctions since there's no way to know if they're wasting their time or not. You might want to put your lowest acceptable price as the reserve. When it gets to "acceptable price" levels and the "met reserve" flag comes on, bidding sometimes heats up, as the car is guaranteed to sell once reserve is met.
I suggest you state something like "I'm looking for the best offer on this car, but put a reserve higher than I expect to sell at so that I don't have to sell should the bid not reach what I consider a reasonable offer. Don't ask for lowest price -- bid what you're willing to pay and I'll consider it." Then start the bidding at say $1000. DO NOT start the bid at the lowest price you'd sell for, and don't reply to people asking price anyway. Those are trolls and scam artists. Anyone seriously interested will read your description and bid. It doesn't hurt to state your reserve price if it's reasonable for the car (close to what similar ones have sold for on e-bay), and that you'll seriously consider close bids if it doesn't meet reserve.
Starting the bid to high (say at your lowest acceptable selling price) usually means few bids. People are looking for a bargain, or at least the chance at one. then they get caught up in the bidding, or decide that the object is more desireable/valuable than they originally thought once others start bidding on it.
There are lots of strategies for auctions on e-bay. Some work, some don't. The only thing I know for sure is that low bid/high shipping costs are a big turn-off for most, and starting high bids on cars that aren't worth much more than that starting price (and sometimes not that much!) won't get many bids. Getting a lot of bidding action will usually garner the higher price. And another thing you have no control over -- a object located in a highly populated area will generate a lot more bidding than one located out in the sticks. If you're an hour or two from a populated area and are willing to transport the car to that area in order to sell as part of the sell price, list it as being in the bigger city. That will help a lot! It's exagerrating a little, but if someone asks the question tell them the truth -- you listed it as from there as you're willing to transport to that area for free, and figured there would be more buyers. I don;'t think you're breaking any e-bay rules, and the car WILL be in that area for the buyer to pick up.

Hollywood Park's future to be presented to California Horse Racing Board
A decision on whether Betfair Hollywood Park will conduct a fall meeting later this year, or be closed for future development, is expected to be announced at Thursday's California Horse Racing Board meeting at Santa Anita.
Hollywood Park has not publicly indicated what will be announced Thursday. The track's president, Jack Liebau, declined to elaborate on the track's plans earlier this month. There are expectations among industry officials that the track will conduct racing this fall, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Hollywood has been assigned racing dates from Nov. 6 to Dec. 22, according to the racing board's website.
Last August, Hollywood Park officials committed to running a spring meeting this year – from April 24 to July 14 – but would not commit to a 2013 fall meeting that far in advance.
Hollywood Park officials have stated that the Inglewood, Calif., track will eventually be closed for residential and commercial development, and that the racing industry would have a six-month notice of those plans in order to facilitate the relocation of more than 1,000 Thoroughbreds based there and to reconfigure racing dates in Southern California.
Los Alamitos officials have expressed an interest in expanding its five-eighth-mile track in Orange County, and building additional stables, to accommodate Thoroughbred racing in the event of Hollywood Park's closure, but the track has not released any formal plans.
It's hard to believe that they would close it now Fall meet attendance and handle were up almost 14% in 2012. Also, there is no indication that condos or new housing would be a profitable endeavor. A recent housing development near Hollywood Park continues to have close to a 40% vacancy. Inglewood has a sky high foreclosure rate and is nowhere near what is considered to be a desirable community to live in. High crime rates, air traffic patterns that pass directly over Hollywood Park and poor schools ensure that any housing project would be a monumental loss to the investors. As it stand now Hollywood Park is a huge economy booster. The number of direct and indirect jobs and small business that exist because of this racetrack is tremendous. I believe that no rational person would attempt the plan to demolish the racetrack to build condos.
It would be a travesty to close down HP, enough with the threats close the damn track down and they will find out what a big mistake was made and horse racing as we know it in California will soon be lost forever, Loa Alamitos will close then Del Mar and finally Santa Anita. Closure of HP will severly cause the loss of racing fans and the decline of business for the other tracks due to this very big mistake that will be committed.
And the merry-go-round continues. It's like Groundhog Day. Yes, there will be a fall meet, and yes they will talk about it again next year.
Hollywood park isnt going anywhere. Betfair privately purchased the land and its there to stay
For those of you who have never been to Inglewood, where Hollywood Park is located, (nicknamed "IngleWatts" by Los Angeles residents, due to the poverty and high crime), these developers should realize that HPT http://www.hollywoodparktomorrow.com/vision/ will NEVER work. I don't know anyone in LA who is willing to move into that area (which is also in line-of-site for LAX take-offs & landings). I have no idea what they are charging for homes, but I doubt that it's affordable. There is no support for any decent businesses in the area. You certainly don't want to walk around there at night, unless you count going to the barred-up check-cashing place, liquor store, laundromat, Quicki-Mart, or flop-house motels as your social life. Many people DO come to Inglewood for the racetrack. And when the racing is over, they leave. At least the racetrack is generating some revenue for the town, which has it's own problems, as I've stated.
best thing to do is declare it a historical landmark ...and not allow ANOTHER mall to be built as well as gated community housing....i would rather see a large park with nothing more than a lake and nature trails as well as a golf course.... than that urban blight called a mall ....
It's a real shame to lose BHP, I personally grew up in SA, Hp and DMR and can say being there is and always will be a great feeling. Nothing compares to the excitement of thoroughbred racing and who can forget something like that. It's true that the neighborhood hasn't been the best but you can't deny wanting to se the Hollywood Gold Cup every year with the older horses. Remembering Copelan's Eagle racing as a 13 14 year old, when he was running he was older than me at the time. It's a real shame to have HP turned into a mall or housing, only those who got to see racing there will know the feeling of loosing it regardless of the neighborhood. Great memories, great horses, great races, great track
The track doesn't have to completely close. Go back to a mile, take away the north end eighth, still have the turf. Tear down the main grandstand to just beyond the Whittingham bar, reserved section past the escalators, the few are there & in clubhouse anyway. Casino & Pavilion are gonna stay regardless. Now, barn area, just need a small area horses shipping in that day or two, some workouts. You still have plenty of room for the houses, business's et al ect ect. These would be smaller meetings 25summer 15 fall Have the remaining days at Los Al & Pomona........it could be done, everyone happy !
Why does the CHRB continue to allow California horse racing to subsidise a land investment company,by letting them continue to race? As a tax payer in Ca. I see less tax revenue from handle generated at HP. They've made it clear they will sell the property when "things turn around" Granted it was a beautiful track with a great history but its time to move on for the betterment of racing in Ca.

Some of us can already imagine a day when the anarchy of Internet art will push fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach into boring obsolescence. Until then, we'll all have to settle for "LikeArtBasel," an exhibition "aimed at raising exposure of Internet- and technology-aware art." The show's cheeky title and logo, of course, reference the omnipresent thumbs-up gesture of a Facebook "Like." The promotional materials, too, echo the social network's sky-blue lettering and style.
Speaking for the exhibition, featured artist Ryder Ripps insists that "Internet and Technology aware art is like totally coming to Miami Art Basel 2011." (It might be worth noting, however, that the show is co-organized by Ripps's own design and production agency OKFocus.) The boundless enthusiasm driving the show is catchy, and it's bound to be the only chance Miami-goers will have to catch the vanguard of online art.
Artists featured in the show include up-and-comers like YouTube video artist Petra Cortright, Sterling Crispin, and art-game and Web-site-maker Rafael Rozendaal, with the anchoring presence of Ryan Trecartin to draw in the high-rollers. Rumor has it preteen arty-pop star Glass Popcorn will even make an appearance.
"Like Art Basel" opens at Workshop Collective (171 NW 23rd Street) on December 2 at 6 p.m. The crew is also planning a Bring Your Own Beamer (BYOB) event at Miami's Grand Central (697 North Miami Avenue) for the same day (one night after the venue hosts a party with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem fame). How much 'net can you handle?

Rain Negates Second Eleven Batting Effort
Heavy rain during the interval ruined Nottinghamshire's Second Eleven Trophy game against Derbyshire after Notts had put themselves in a good position with a score of 276-8 from their 50 overs.
After losing Alex Hales for 9 with the score on 35, Akhil Patel and Bilal Shafyat added 101 for the second wicket before Patel was run out for 72 in which he hit ten fours.
Jason Mohammed was the third man dismissed for 36 in the 42nd over with the score on 209.
Shafayat reached his 50 from 91 balls but increased the tempo scoring a further 20 in 14 balls before being caught for 73 hitting a six and 5 fours.
Notts added 51 in the final five overs thanks to Paul Franks and Kevin O'Brien. However it was all to no avail the sides having to be content with a point apiece from a no result.

As you can see, I decided the pink and green colour scheme wasn't working. I don't think I had enough shades of each and have added some other colours to liven it up. This pic' makes them look quite dark but they're lighter and prettier in reality! The apricot "Cashsoft" had a slight acylic sheen which didn't look right next to the wool so I'll save that for something else.
I'm loving these flowers so much I'm going to carry on and make another blanket! but I think I'll alternate them with plainer squares or it might be a bit too much :)
There's some odd things going on in the garden. The mild weather has brought out some of the spring flowers already! We've got snowdrops and anemones starting to flower while some of the summer stuff is still around.
The last dahlia and the first of next year's anemones.
Early snowdrop
Passion flower still going strong and rose on it's third flush
The holly seems to be more loaded with berries though. Is that a sign of a cold winter? Hope not.
I bought some of my pelargoniums indoors and I'm loving these bright pink flowers
Finally, this was our view for a few mornings. Glad it's brightened up again.

Netflix began with a new concept in 1997: DVD rentals by mail. You create your queue with up to 500 movies that you'd like to see, and they send the first 1 to 4 (depending on your membership level) to you. As soon as you return one, they ship your next one. With distribution centers all across the US, turnaround time is typically a day, in rare cases two. I live in the boondocks in Arkansas and typically have a new movie the day after I return one. Since then they have added (and dropped) HD-DVD, as well as adding Blu-ray and instant viewing over your computer or internet-capable device. They are also considering 3-d DVD's and video games. Their memberships range from $4.99 per month for one DVD at a time with a limit of 2 DVD's per month to $34.98 for four DVD's or Blu-Rays at a time with no limit, as well as unlimited instant streaming.
I am a fan. I have been a happy Netflix member since 2000, and, even with the recent brouhaha about their rates, still feel like it's a heck of a deal.
Since I realized how great movies look on my Samsung Captivate phone, I have been checking the market periodically for an official Netflix app, and finally got one the other day.
This is, perhaps, the best app that I have on my Android phone. The first time that you open the app, it prompts you for your Netflix membership information. Once you provide that, your Netflix streaming account is available on your phone.
From here, you have four tabs available. The "home" tab allows you to see the most recent movie that you were streaming, along with suggestions of other movies and TV shows that you might like. The "genres" tab allows you to select streaming movies by genre. The "queue" tab puts your streaming queue at your fingertips. The "search" tab allows you to search by title.
I streamed my first movie, "Kill Theory" (a good film for anyone who likes thrillers) the day that I downloaded the app, and let me tell you… it streamed beautifully. The one thing that I did notice is that, for the first minute or so that the film streams, while it's buffering, the picture can be a little furry. But once it gets good and buffered, it streams flawlessly with an excellent, hd-quality picture.
I have only run this app through my wi-fi connection, so I don't know what kind of data usage you'd be looking at to stream it over a network, but I can imagine that it would be pretty massive. Streaming video alone takes a lot of bandwidth, streaming high-quality video exponentially more. So I would suggest limiting your Netflix watching to someplace where you can access a wi-fi connection unless your cell phone provider has an unlimited data plan.
Hope that you enjoy!

Yahoo Pairs with Zillow on Real Estate ListingsBy
In a bid to beef up its home-buying features and lure local advertisers, Yahoo! (YHOO) is adding home listings from Zillow, an online real estate service that lets users research the value of homes.
Pairing with Zillow.com boosts Yahoo's home listings to about 4 million from 3 million and gives the company a bigger slice of the ad market for smaller-sized businesses, Steve Schultz, head of Yahoo's real estate service, said in an interview. "There is a lot of demand to be on Yahoo! Real Estate, but we're effectively not serving that hyperlocal advertising need," Schultz says. "This partnership changes that."
The deal also helps Yahoo and Zillow challenge Move Inc. (MOVE), owner of Realtor.com, the most-used real estate site. Yahoo, owner of the No. 2 U.S. search engine, is seeking partners to lure users and revive sales growth. Last month, the Sunnyvale (Calif.)-based company announced an agreement with Facebook that will let its users see message updates from friends on the social-networking site via Yahoo properties.
Yahoo No. 3 in Online Real Estate
Until now, Yahoo has focused mainly on selling ads from large marketers, such as mortgage companies and credit agencies, not the local real estate agents that are Zillow's mainstay, Schultz said. In May, Yahoo was No. 3 in the online real estate market with 6.14 million users, while Zillow.com was second with 7.05 million, according to ComScore (SCOR) of Reston, Va. The market was led by Move Inc., with more than 12 million.
The Yahoo and Zillow audiences overlap by about 10 percent, said Spencer Rascoff, chief operating officer of Seattle-based Zillow. The companies first worked together in 2006, when Yahoo began offering price estimates for homes based on Zillow's data.
The partnership, which creates a new advertising network, will help Zillow distribute its ads and listings to a wider audience, Rascoff said.
Yahoo and Zillow didn't disclose financial terms of the new arrangement. The companies expect to integrate their services fully by the end of the year.

The Arizona Diamondbacks rebounded from a disastrous 2014 season where they earned the first pick in the draft to ending just four games below .500 in 2015. With some key offseason moves and a healthy roster, look for the 2016 squad to make some waves in the NL West. Their pitching rotation will get a boost this season with the addition of Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller along with the return of Patrick Corbin who missed half of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. Behind them, sophomore Robbie Ray, 23-year old Archie Bradley and Braden Shipley should provide their arms to the cause as well. The Diamondbacks bullpen will also see improvement with the add-on of veteran setup guy Tyler Clippard who will join Brad Ziegler, right hander Daniel Hudson and lefty Andrew Chafin. Offensively, this Arizona team is led by first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and outfielder A.J. Pollack who as a team were only outscored by the altitude assisted Colorado Rockies in 2015. Not only does this club have bats, they are stacked on the defensive side as well. The Diamondbacks led MLB in runs saved last season, spearheaded by shortstop Nick Ahmed and the gloves of Pollack and Goldschmidt. Behind the plate, Wellington Castillo who was acquired two months into the 2015 season from the Seattle Mariners had 17 home runs and 50 RBI's
while throwing out 28 percent of potential base stealers last season for the Diamondbacks. Look for him to have another successful season and contribute nicely to the club in 2016.
The top three starters on this Diamondbacks roster are among the best in baseball with a supporting cast that wants to win. In a division that is full of change, look for this to be a big year for this Arizona team in the NL West. Fans should be sure to purchase your Arizona Diamondbacks tickets often and come out to support this talented club. You won't want to miss out on any of the on-field action all summer long.

I'm mourn for my country right now. If I were a Protestant I would declare that this is a clear sign that we are living in the last days. This is the turning point people. This was the election that we will be able to look back on and remember when it all began. People went to the polls and some voted for their best interest; that is, they voted for where their treasure is. Some voted for their job; their bank account; their reproductive liberties; their conscience; their race; their anger; their religion; their family, and etc. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Mt. 6:21). This morning we have learned that most Americans do not treasure the teachings of Christ Jesus or their religious liberty.
God Help Us! If I didn't trust Jesus I'd be trembling in my soul right now for what is about to befall this country. It's daylight outside, but it's dark. You can sense it in your spirit. The song 'God Bless America' is only a prayer and history now. For a blessing is something you choose to receive – a freewill cooperation with the grace of God. On November 6, 2012, American chose the curse. It chose Satan over God.
What remains for those of who are In Christ to do is stay vigilant in the fight. Persevere to the end. Pray, Fast, Enduring Long Suffering. Embrace both corporeal and spiritual martyrdom. The hour that we heard about it here today. The hour that is now God always knew about and is working through to bring about His Glory. We trust in that fact that He always conforms our bad free choices to bring about His good. We will preserve. We will triumph. We will win in the end.
God Help us. Blessings and Shalom.
If you choose you can keep the commandments; it is loyalty to do his will.
There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand. Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him. Sirach 15:14-17
– – – – – – –
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host –
by the Divine Power of God –
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
– – – – – – –

Re: WWE: The Evolution Of Greed
619s Feedback for Mac's Monday Night RAW
Nice description of events with the video packages, pretty straightforward and expected. Personally, I enjoy cold opens after big shows, but this got the main points of the show off and running.
Opening with Trips and company is different. I was almost sure Vinny Mac, Lashley, and Shane would open, but Ill play along. Loved the content of this one, and the fact that youve written RVD in a manner thats not very cringe-worthy like myself. He seemed to flow naturally here, and Trips even moreso. Loved his playing up his Game roots and ruthlessness, even as a face. Van Dams worked shoot like comments were nice and well-placed, although Im paying more attention to RVD saying he wouldnt cover Trips had events been turned around. That and its a tad difficult for me to buy Van Dam as angry. And HBK. Was. Awesome. I was hoping his religious overtones would continue, and thus, youve made me a happy dude. To hell with Christopher Daniels. HBK has become a Fallen Angel; a literal dark Messiah. After this, whoever wins between Hunter and RVD tonight doesnt hold as much weight as this now confirmed and cemented Shawn Michaels. Most excellent.
I dig the transition of Austin siding with McMahon leading into the whole Lashley/Cena situation. Very subtle, but very effective. Cena/Lashley at no surprise, as it was coming, but I thoroughly like the idea of re-shaping Lashleys image. Very nice for almost a complete character upheaval. Ms. Adams being here isnt the big deal, the big deal is what the hell Vince wants with Terry Funks grocery list.
Harts look terrific in their debut, although I do wish it werent at the expense of the Highlanders. But how many heel jobber teams are there, amirite
. Anyways, remodeling the Hart Attack into their own distinct version is very cool, giving them a sense of a new identity. Speaking of new identity, please dont waste too much time giving Natalya her own character rather than their cheerleader. Look forward to bigger things for these men. And Natalya, too.
Lol @ Punks new girl line given his real life reputation. Bringing back Dinsmore echoes a good bit of the situation surrounding Festus/Luke Gallows, but Im sure youre aware of that. This is your own little spin on that situation, with Punk being a face and all that. I do love the fact that youre introducing a Straight Edge Savior sort of Punk without him being heel. Wanna see where that goes. So two new factions debuting in the same night? Building the tag division, are we? Lets see how they do with Punk holding a briefcase first. An immediate feud in the works I see. Hart Legacy/SES/MNM ? Is there something up with them all being built so similarly ? Hm
Solid match here with Carlito and Orton, Kenny coming in and messin things up for everybody seems about right. No surprise Orton gets the nod over Carlito, although this pretty much cements the fact that Kenny might not make it to Mania either, given his situation. As much as I adore Punk, Orton seems like a guy whod take the briefcase rather quickly and easily.
Huh. Was thinking this would be a little further down the card, maybe right before Vince and Friends celebration and what not, but I guess being the 10 oclock main event will work. Just like their last match, very awesome back and forth action, great touch with the outside brawl and showcasing the intense feelings between both guys. Again, kicking out of each others finishers sent this match up a whole nother notch and level, as is Trips pulling out the Figure Four. Van Dam just eeking out the win is a little offputting, but I can see why you did it. And again, Michaels steals all the thunder from either one of these guys. But what else can you expect from Gods Showstopper, huh? All in all, very impressive all around and looking very much forward to these three getting it on come the big dance.
Very nice seggy with the WGTT. I need to take notes on writing their dialogue from this. Coming off their encounter with Kendrick and London Saturday, Im almost certain the challengers will be them. But maybe you can prove me wrong ? Nothing wrong with being unpredictable once in a while. Lulz at the WGTT opening comments. Sounds like theyre more talking about todays WWE and not the one four years ago.
I remember you setting up the utterly intense history between Mickie and Beth. No problems with Maria getting destroyed here. Just a little tune up for the Glamazon. As for Mickie, Im seeing the Mickie-T to Beth and not Vicky as a sign that Beth might drop her as a manager soon enough. The challenge is a bit sudden, but again, predictable. And its just Detroit. Never heard it referenced Detroit City before.
HOF commentators = awesome.
With Hardy back in the picture, I can easily see him slipping back into the IC title hunt. Triple Threat come Mania ? Or will Hardy be moving onto bigger things in MITB ? Thats to wait and see, but onto today. Solid match with Kenny trying to put Hardy back on the shelf, the ending DQ gives me a bit of insight into Orton and Dykstra, interfering on each others behalf and such. The Swanton momentum into the RKO is fun to visualize. The beatdown and triumphant faces is a nice way to end things, but of course, this isnt over.
Very much enjoyed this ending segment. Cena coming in at the end is a mere formality during this whole thing, other than keeping Styles in one piece. Lashleys motives seemed very real, and I commend you on getting the whole turn right. It annoys me when someone turns heel out of the blue with no real character buildup, but Lashleys whole turn and mentality towards the turn have been brewing since the inception of this damn thread. The slow burn feel you had the entire time amplified that, and youve pulled the whole thing off very well. The ECW title being burned is a major point that gives me a feeling of maybe some ECW alumni will come after Vinnie and Bobby. Not gonna lie, I marked out like a little girl when Joey slapped Vince. So big ups on that. I can easily see why this angle overshadowed the WWE title scene for the night and thats because it was much bigger tonight. The Cena altercation at the conclusion left a stale taste in my mouth, mostly b/c following virtually every match and segment, there was an altercation. Nonetheless, this one was necessary. Looking very much forward to seeing where this goes.
Overall, a great way to kick off the final stretch on that there elusive Road to Wrestlemania. Only gripe is, again, the constant altercations after almost everything, but this is easily overlooked by the overall quality. The ride down the road looks like a lot of fun. Keep things chuggin, homes. Still very much Kirby approved.

9/11 and the Damage Done
Posted on Sep 7, 2011
(Page 4)
Of all the blown moments, or to torque out some baseball parlance, "blown saves," the president could have turned it all around in that speech at Ground Zero. Instead of telling us to go shopping, he could have advised us, for instance, to read the Constitution, read the Bill of Rights, read about George Washington and Susan B. Anthony and Crazy Horse, visit the Grand Canyon or the prairie or the Great Lakes, see the natural wonders that fuel our dream of self, find out what this country is really about, understand what's at stake should America succumb to a fatal blow and become the beacon that burns no longer. But of course that's not what happened, and as I realized that day in the diner, Bonny Bakley was merely the most desperate spawn of a nation that had been shopping for a very long time.
In the months and first few years after 9/11, the condition that the country was mired in on the day the planes flew into our homeland became only more aggravated. People of all persuasions went on a spending spree facilitated by banks and brokers, buying up houses for nothing down until it all collapsed and the country was on the hook for billions of dollars. Now we must factor in the trillions that have been spent on the wars that began in response to what happened on that September day 10 years ago—vast sums of money never to be recovered and roughly equivalent to the amount that it would take to get America back to sea level.
But the consequences of 9/11 go well beyond money; the country is not just broke, but bleeding. Thousands of men and women have died in military service to this nation, and the war against terrorism—the longest one in American history—shows no sign of ending. Others who have served have come home and killed themselves; they too must be counted.
One of the strangest responses to 9/11 is the 9/11 truth movement, a strange point of convergence of the far left and far right, involving many people of all occupations, educational levels and social classes who believe various conspiracy theories about what happened on that day. Some say it was an inside job involving the U.S. government; others still profess that planes did not actually fly into the Pentagon or the ground in Pennsylvania, despite video footage that suggests otherwise and people who were on those flights, never to be seen again.

Take the case of Jared Lee Loughner, the Tucson fellow who tried to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords outside a Safeway as she talked to constituents, seriously injuring her with a shot to the head, and killing and wounding others who were in line to see her. Arizona is one of the places where the furies of 9/11 have landed, planting themselves in the shallow sands, stirred up when the winds shift, riling passions and causing all manner of upheaval and mayhem. According to a friend, Loughner believed that the American government carried out the attack on 9/11, and at a town hall hosted by Giffords in 2007 that he attended, he may have asked Giffords about the official story. Others who questioned it had reportedly asked Giffords about the same thing in hostile encounters outside her office. Loughner may have been angered by her response; evidence found at his home after the incident suggests that something that happened at that meeting set off a response which led to an act of extreme violence.
One of the people Loughner killed was a little girl named Christina Taylor Green. She was 9 years old and had been born on 9/11. This year would have been her 10th birthday. Some of the babies born on 9/11 appeared in a book called "Faces of Hope," predicated on the notion that amid such great destruction, life literally goes on. Christina was one of the faces of hope. The granddaughter of former Yankee and Met manager Dallas Green, and the daughter of Dodger scout John Green, she wanted to play baseball when she grew up and was one of two girls on her elementary school Little League team in Oro Valley, a town northwest of Tucson. On April 1 of this year, I attended opening day, and watched as professional ballplayers and boys in her league gathered to ring in one of America's holy days, and pay tribute to their teammate. The field that she played on was named in her honor and there was talk of how she threw long from third base.
Her story reminded me of playing baseball as a little girl, taking me back to the time a neighborhood boy threw a ball hard and fast, right at my face. To his surprise—and mine—I caught it. I've always loved baseball, and later I came to understand that baseball is that most American of games, one that promises the chance of starting over with every at bat, every spring, on a sandlot where you can hit a ball into forever. What happened in the Tucson shootings was sad enough, but the fact that a little girl's life and dream were taken away only added to it, and the thread of 9/11 running through the whole thing made it all the more stunning.

The person "tropigirl" has never seen my paintings, otherwise they would know I don't have a "career". Art must be honest or it doesn't have a life of it's own. No one could be more truthful than Deanne Stiillman, or more funny, or more heartbreaking, or fierce, or direct, or clearsighted, or kind. She can not be bought. Who are these cowards who hide behind silly pseudonyms? What happened that day ten years ago made some of us head for the hills and some stayed to fight.

9/11 didn't change America: WE changed America by the way we responded to it. The vengeance, opportunism, and self-aggrandizing nationalism surrounding this event has created nothing less than a 'crusade' mentality against all that are vulnerable to attack or exploitation.
The obbsession with 9/11, as seen prevelantly in this article, shouldn't exist. It is NOTHING compared to the pain that has been inflicted on those in the Middle East. To care so much about this event, to speak so much of it and its victims, while not to speak at all of so many other terrible acts and situations that need to be reckoned with is a great tragedy. Who cares about the 25,000 (American) suicides each year; 3 million (American) people in prison; how many starving people in the world again? Oh yeah, who cares….. 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11…...

SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much. Good afternoon, and thank you for being patient. I am honored to be here with Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar, with the Secretary General Nabil Elaraby of the Arab League, and with a group of foreign ministers, ambassadors who are representing their countries, all of whom are here on behalf of the Arab League, which specifically set out to come here with a purpose. And we're very honored by their presence. The Vice President of the United States joined us for a good period of the meeting in order to share thoughts with this delegation, and I think we've had a very positive, very constructive discussion in the course of the afternoon with positive results.
During the course of those discussions, on behalf of the President of the United States, I underscored the Arab League's very important role that it is playing and has determined to play in bringing about a peace to the Middle East and specifically by reaffirming the Arab Peace Initiative here this afternoon with a view to ending the conflict. On behalf of the President, I reaffirmed, as did the Vice President, the U.S. commitment to pursue an end to the conflict based on the vision that President Obama outlined in May of 2011: two states living side by side in peace and security brought about through direct negotiations between the parties.
The U.S. and Arab League delegation here this afternoon agreed that peace between Israelis and Palestinians would advance security, prosperity, and stability in the Middle East. And that is a common interest for the region and the whole world. The U.S. and Arab League delegations this afternoon also agreed about the importance of this particular dialogue, and so we agreed to continue consultations on a regular basis and to meet as a group as needed in order to try to advance the efforts towards peace and an end to the conflict.
Mr. Prime Minister.
PRIME MINISTER HAMAD: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. First of all, in my behalf and the Arab delegation and the Secretary General, we thank you very much for this meeting and we thank the Vice President for giving us your valued and his valued time. I think it was a very productive and good meeting to start with, and I would like to say that the Arab League delegation understands that peace between the Palestinian and the Israeli, is starting -- it's a strategic choice for the Arab state, referring to the Arab Initiative, Peace Initiative -- as sound peace for reaching a joint justice and peace between the Palestinian and the Israeli, and stability in the Middle East.
The Arab League delegation affirmed that agreement should be based on the two-state solution on the basis of the 4th of June 1967 line, with the possible of comparable and mutual agreed minor swap of the land. The Arab League delegation expresses its thanks and for the President Obama and for yourself, Mr. Secretary, for your efforts and your commitment for the peace, and also endorses President Mahmoud Abbas' effort for the peace.
The delegation expresses support for efforts for the economic help and aid between the Palestinian, and from the -- for the Palestinian -- and we all think that we should work together to find a sound economical package to help the Palestinian state. Thank you very much.
SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister. So on that note, folks, we want these comments about the Arab Peace Initiative and their commitment, their reaffirmation to it, as well as their commitment to the Palestinian Authority and economic initiatives to stand on their own. And I think Jen Psaki will be happy to give you a readout further. So I'm very grateful to all of these ministers for traveling this distance, for being here today. This is going to be an ongoing dialogue, an ongoing process, and we look forward to continuing to work together. And it's been very, very productive. Thank you very much.
QUESTION: Did you talk about Syria at all?
PRIME MINISTER HAMAD: Yes, we talked about Syria. I think all of us supporting the last declaration from Istanbul, and there is something here will be given to the press about that. Thank you very much, John. Thank you.
SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much.

I agree with the small text, make it bigger .. also get in touch section looks empty
thanks for the input folks, the screen grab was on a really high resolution 23inch screen so the font does look small, its around 14px at smallest tbh! but i really should have pointed it out.

Ask the midwife: how long overdue can I go?
Why are babies allowed to go past their due date? Midwife Melissa Maimann explains why we wait and what you need to know about the benefits of letting nature take its course.
How long can you go past a due date?
I am 40 weeks pregnant and have gone past my due date by four days. I have been scheduled to have an induction five days from now but I feel this is too long to wait as I am anxious something will happen to my baby. If I were to visit my regular GP could he get this sped up, as I suffer panic attacks.
Our midwife Melissa says:
A normal, healthy pregnancy can last until 42 weeks, that is, 14 days after 40 weeks. Term is considered to be anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks, so any baby born within that range would be considered to be full-term. There are some increased risks to the baby in pregnancies that continue beyond 42 weeks, and it is for this reason that midwives and obstetricians will recommend an induction sometime between 41 and 42 weeks. In practice, this tends to be around 10 days after the due date.
Many hospitals will recommend a test called a CTG at around 41 weeks – this stands for cardiotocography and is the electronic measurement of the fetal heart rate and uterine contractions. Other hospitals will recommend an ultrasound. Both of these tests can be used to reassure you that all is well with your baby and that it is safe for your baby to be born at around ten days past your due date.
The reason that midwives and obstetricians are reluctant to induce for reasons other than medical necessity is that a number of inductions will lead to a caesarean, and this can create immediate problems for the mother and baby, and also problems in subsequent pregnancies. It's also true that women tend to have shorter, less painful labours when we wait for labour to start on its own.

I've been travel hacking and churning credit cards for big rewards myself since about 2006. As a result, I've taken several very nice trips paid for primarily with miles and points including Paris, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Los Angeles, the Philippines, Vancouver multiple times, and more.
In 2012, Steve Zussino, the founder of Grocery Alerts approached me about a joint venture related to travel hacking specifically for Canadians. I was intrigued by the idea and initially accepted, but it was soon apparent that I didn't have the necessary time to devote to the project so he had to continue the endeavour alone.
Now, 2 years later, Steve has successfully launched the website Canadian Travel Hacking and his new book Travel Hacking For Canadians has just been published.
5 Copies To Give Away
Just before the book was set to launch, Steve contacted me about doing a review and I readily agreed with the simple condition that he provide me with some free copies to give away to my readers. At the time, I thought he was publishing an eBook and it wouldn't cost him much to give away a few copies. However, when my own copy arrived in the mail shortly thereafter, I discovered that it is a beautiful 200 page soft cover book - thanks for being so generous to my readers Steve!
How To Win Your Copy
For a chance to win one of the five copies, all you have to do is leave a comment below sharing with Steve and I what your dream vacation is that you haven't yet been able to realize or afford. I guarantee you can use the information found in this book to help make it happen for a lot less money than you thought.
When you leave your comment, be sure to use your primary email address, because that is how I will be contacting the winners. I will randomly select 3 winners from the list of comments using Random.org and 2 additional winners that I think shared a really compelling dream vacation or travel story.
The giveaway will close in one week on Tuesday, August 26th, 2014 and I will contact the winners shortly thereafter.
My Review Of The Book
It took a little while, but I read every part of the book word by word. As I was reading it, it was like going through a mental checklist of all the ways to save money on travel that I've been meaning to write about myself on HowToSaveMoney.ca. I'm pretty experienced in this subject, so I can tell you with confidence that he didn't leave much good information out. I even learned of a few things while reading it that I wasn't previously aware of, which I'm sure will come in handy on my future travels.
Is It Worth Buying?
If you were previously unaware of travel hacking, you read this book from cover to cover, and then put the strategies into practice for the next 10 years even traveling only once or twice a year, then you will save thousands of dollars. Realistically, you could save that much after taking only a few trips but it really depends on how you travel and the type of trips you want to take. Over 10 years, it could easily be tens of thousands of dollars that you actually save.
In short, at $19.99 for both the soft cover book and the PDF version plus free shipping and handling, this book will pay for itself after the first few pages. It is 100% worth buying as you won't find all this information so conveniently packaged anywhere else!
Things You Will Learn
- Which frequent flyer programs are worth it for Canadians to join and a detailed explanation of each including multiple international programs.
- How to acquire miles in those programs much faster than your normally would.
- What the best value is for your miles so you are saving the most money when you travel by saving your miles for high value trips. He includes many screenshots, examples, and direct comparisons showing how much you will save.
- Which credit cards allow you to accumulate miles the quickest and provide the most value and even how to get your annual fee waived or reduced.
- How to get the lowest price for airfare even when you aren't using reward miles to fly.
- A nice trick to fly around the world very cheaply with Aeroplan.
- How to get additional cash back on all your travel purchases.
- Ways to cut the cost of staying in upscale hotels to the cost of staying in a 2* hotel or even less.
- Various low price guarantees on hotels and travel sites that can add to your savings.
- How to rent vehicles cheaply and how to avoid unnecessary upsells at the rental counter.
- Unique ways to take a cruise for less money.
Only A Little Room For Improvement
While I can't say enough good things about this book, there is always room for improvement. One thing in particular I found was that he didn't call enough attention to the best way to do something. He tended to present all the information and leave it more to the reader to decide the best course of action.
That's a fine approach and he did mention certain stand-out deals from time to time throughout the book, but I think he could have called more attention to which "travel hacks" save the most money practically speaking so that people know best where to put their focus.
I'm sure he will continue to update the book over the years as travel hacking continually shifts and evolves and he will find ways to up the quality even further which is something to look forward to.

We would love to go to India every year to visit family..!.
we have always dreamed of going to Australia and New Zealand and feel we would have to stay there about a month each with a stop on the way back in Fiji because we are kind of there any way but the hotel costs $8000 and the rental cars $2500 , cost is daunting not including the air fare of $4700 , I have contemplated buying a car there and trying to sell it when we are done but that is a poor bet and the hotels or bed and breakfast houses are a choice , we have a timeshare that would be good for about 2 weeks with 7 weeks to go on the trip , expecting $20,000 , what can you suggest
My dream vacation is to go to South Korea. A few years ago I found Korean dramas and got addicted to watching them, then listening to kpop music and then learning more about the culture and history. What really draws me in is the history of the country now though. South Korea, or Korea in general has such a vibrant history and culture that I have been wanting to go there for a long time now. I eventually fell in love with the country so much that I started to teach myself the language and I now have friends who live there. Between paying off school debt and home problems I have not yet been able to realize my dream of going there. I think this book would help me immensely in teaching me how to keep costs down so I can afford to go sooner. Thank you for hosting this giveaway and I will keep my fingers crossed!
The giveaway is long over, but maybe you can purchase the book and use the techniques to get you to Korea. My wife got in to Korean dramas for a while too and wanted to visit there but we haven't gone yet. I'm not sure if she still wants to go anymore though.

is there any decent portfolio tracking apps? ive tried bloomberg, and a few others...but nothing good yet. they are very akward and buggy and dont show the one thing i want:
i am looking for a simple list view that shows:
symbol // qty purchased // current price // change (% or points)
then at the bottom of the list...it should show total of original investment, and total of current price, followed by total change
is there anything like this that shows a broad spectrum of your total portfolio?

Blueprints Of Iconic Film Scenes Offer An Architect's View Of The Movies
The new online magazine shows the silver screen from a different perspective.
Architecture and mise-en-scene is essential to hundreds of iconic Hollywood moments, and the Interiors online journal, now in its second year, is devoted to delving into the relationship between the drama and its background. A monthly collaboration between Armen Karaoghlanian, a cinematic arts graduate, and Mehruss Jon Ahi, working architect, who met at Burbank, California's Woodbury University, each issue of Interiors focuses on one film at a time. The magazine starts out with a detailed essay on the use of space in each, and goes on to make blueprint-style maps to accompany the scenes they discuss.
The clean, minimalist maps also include a temporal element, tracking characters' movements at different time cues in a scene and sometimes showing characters multiple times in a single space to convey the significance of certain nooks and corners. The maps, as well as the products of the magazine's collaborations with several illustrators, are available as 8″ x 10″ and 11″ x 14″ prints from Interiors's BigCartel store and are sure to please the OCD architecture and film buffs in your life. If you want a particular map, grab it while you can: The Verge noted that a poster for Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" video sold out completely and won't be replaced.
The project also recalls the work of Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde, whose hand-drawn maps of TV homes captured the imagination of the blogosphere this summer, albeit without Interiors' focus and analysis. Click through for a bird's-eye gallery of what really happened in your favorite movie scenes:

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all
I am originally from Kentucky and for the past 10 yrs have called Fort Myers home. I have been in the dental field for 15 yrs... So fellas a great set of pearly whites (original... not plastic or porcelain) will win you big points! Lol! I am a Big animal lover. When I'm not working I prefer to be outdoors, especially at the beach, watching sports with friends, or an occasional movie night works too. I do work out a minimum of 5 days a week and have a very clean diet. This is my lifestyle, not a hobby....so if you get winded climbing two flights of stairs and love fast food I am not the girl for you! I occasionally like to get dressed up for an evening out but am more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. I am way more of a tomboy...I do not do fake nails, sit for hours at a hair salon, could care less who has the latest Louis Vuitton handbag, and I can wrinkle and make expressions with every part of my face! ; ). I have an eclectic group of amazing friends! I appreciate the simple things in life and love to laugh... Especially at myself. A short guide for my suitors... If your a serial dater, can't pass a mirror without looking at yourself, use curse words as a staple in your vocabulary, or when you remove your shirt and it still looks like your wearing a sweater.... Please don't take it personal...but your not my type! : ). Thanks for taking the time to read my bio....may we all be lucky to find love!

Most people believe that big films come from big directors, producers and some really great film banners, but that is not always true. There are great movies that have come from small production houses and from directors who have never directed any movies in the past. Shakal Pe Mat Ja might be the same case this time because the director Shubh has never directed any movies earlier but he has written and directed this movie and it has already been selected to be premiered at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York.
Shakal Pe Mat Ja went through lot of problems during the casting and during the production time as well, but finally they have something to celebrate. The South Asian International Film Festival features some of the best works of South Asian film makers and performers across the world and therefore it is the best platform that this film crew could have asked for. The festival will be held in New York from November 9 to 15 and the actors and director are really happy to see their movie being promoted on such international scale.
Talking about the movie, Shubh, director of SPMJ said that he is travelling frequently to New York for the promotion and that the entire movie cast and crew are delighted that the movie has been selected at the SAIFF. He also stated that they have worked hard on the movie to make it better experience for the audience and they can see that their efforts are finally paying off. He also informed that Saurabh Shukla and he will be present at the opening premiere of the film. The producers Linc Entertainment and co-producer Hrishitaa Bhatt are extremely delighted about the movie going to international film festival even though it does not have a big banner or budget attached to it.

Buttermilk Pie Bars
Buttermilk pie is great any time of year, but I especially like it during the summer. The pie is easy to put together and has a fresh, tangy flavor to it that goes oh-so-well with all kinds of summer fruits and berries. It is even easier when you put this pie into bar form. As with cheesecake, putting this pie into bar form makes it ... Read More »
Classic Cherry Pie
As much as I love pie, I don't like to compromise on the qualities that I think make up a great one. For instance, I think a pie has to have a good crust that is a blend of flaky and tender.
