Not sure what type of gun this is but it was probably a little too much for this guy to handle. He was instructed many times to aim his shot as the sign in the background states however, they failed to mention to hang on to the handle when firing.
your question may already be answered.

PSG make Rafael Benítez the prime target
Rafael Benítez is expected to begin talks with Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days as the French club step up the search for a coach who can lead them back into the Champions League.
The Spaniard has been out of work for almost a year after his departure from Inter Milan, but with a number of clubs contacting the Benítez camp to express their interest in recent weeks, PSG's Qatari owners have chosen to make their move with Antoine Kombouaré, the coach, seemingly losing his grip on the post.
Benítez is understood to be interested in speaking to the club's owner, the Qatar Investment Authority, which has outlined its determination to catapult the team back into the European elite with Nasser al-Khelaifi, the Qatari who…

Nothing is Impossible for God
"For nothing will be impossible for God." Luke 1:37
The angel Gabriel speaks these words to Mary. Nothing is impossible for God, he tells her.
We know this but we do not always remember it. We tend to limit God a lot. We say or we hear things like:
God will not heal me.
God will never forgive me for this.
God does not hear my prayers.
God cannot possibly love me the way I am.
We do not always have the faith that Mary had. We do not always believe in the impossible happening.
But God does the impossible every day.
If someone had once told me that I would write a book about being an incest survivor, I would have said impossible. My book was published 7 years ago.
If someone had once told me that I would marry a man who whose love and respect would help me heal, I would have said impossible. I met just such a man and we have been married for 35 years.
If someone had once told me that I would convert to the Catholic faith and it would change my life, I would have said impossible. I have been Catholic now for over 25 years and yes, it has changed my life.
And now I no longer say things like God cannot possibly love me the way I am.
Miracles still happen. God still does the impossible. Do we ever look at all the "impossibles" in our lives that God has made possible?
Do we believe and trust like Mary did?
Do we say with Mary - "May it be done to me according to your word."
Lord, I thank you and I praise you for all you have done for me. I thank you for all the impossible things that you have made possible. Increase my faith, Lord. Help me to grow in trust of you. Help me to surrender all to you. Like Mary did. Amen.

DOD Civilian Personnel:
Greater Oversight and Quality Assurance Needed to Ensure Force Health Protection and Surveillance for Those Deployed
GAO-06-1085: Published: Sep 29, 2006. Publicly Released: Sep 29, 2006.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-6304
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As the Department of Defense (DOD) has expanded its involvement in overseas military operations, it has grown increasingly reliant on its federal civilian workforce to support contingency operations. The Senate Armed Services Committee required GAO to examine DOD's policies concerning the health care for DOD civilians who deploy in support of contingency operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. GAO analyzed over 3,400 deployment-related records for deployed federal civilians and interviewed department officials to determine the extent to which DOD has established and the military services and defense agencies (hereafter referred to as DOD components) have implemented (1) force health protection and surveillance policies and (2) medical treatment policies and procedures for its deployed federal civilians. GAO also examined the differences in special pays and benefits provided to DOD's deployed federal civilians and military personnel.
DOD has established force health protection and surveillance policies to assess and reduce or prevent health risks for its deployed federal civilian personnel, but it lacks procedures to ensure implementation. Our review of over 3,400 deployment records at eight component locations found that components lacked documentation that some federal civilian personnel who deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq had received, among other things, required pre- and post-deployment health assessments and immunizations. These deficiencies were most prevalent at Air Force and Navy locations, and one Army location. As a larger issue, DOD lacked complete and centralized data to readily identify its deployed federal civilians and their movement in theater, further hindering its efforts to assess the overall effectiveness of its force health protection and surveillance capabilities. In August 2006, DOD issued a revised policy which outlined procedures that are intended to address these shortcomings. However, these procedures are not comprehensive enough to ensure that DOD will know the extent to which its components are complying with existing health protection requirements. In particular, the procedures do not establish an oversight and quality assurance mechanism for assessing the implementation of its force health protection and surveillance requirements. Until DOD establishes a mechanism to strengthen its force health protection and surveillance oversight, it will not be effectively positioned to ensure compliance with its policies, or the health care and protection of deployed federal civilians. DOD has also established medical treatment policies for its deployed federal civilians which provide those who require treatment for injuries or diseases sustained during overseas hostilities with care that is equivalent in scope to that provided to active duty military personnel under the DOD military health system. GAO reviewed a sample of seven workers' compensation claims (out of a universe of 83) filed under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act by DOD federal civilians who deployed to Iraq. GAO found in three cases where care was initiated in theater, that the affected civilians had received treatment in accordance with DOD's policies. In all seven cases, DOD federal civilians who requested care after returning to the United States had, in accordance with DOD's policies, received medical examinations and/or treatment for their deployment-related injuries or diseases through either military or civilian treatment facilities. DOD provides certain special pays and benefits to its deployed federal civilians, which generally differ in type and/or amount from those provided to deployed military personnel. For example, both civilian and military personnel are eligible to receive disability benefits for deployment-related injuries; however, the type and amount of these benefits vary, and some are unique to each group. Further, while the survivors of deceased federal civilian and military personnel generally receive similar types of cash survivor benefits, the comparative amounts of these benefits differ.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD has established an oversight and quality assurance mechanism for assessing and ensuring the full implementation of the force health protection and surveillance requirements by all DOD components. The department has implemented a new DOD force health protection quality assurance instruction that is designed to ensure that the health of service members, as well as applicable DOD civilian personnel, is monitored across a full range of military activities and operations.
Recommendation: To strengthen DOD's force health protection and surveillance for its federal civilian personnel who deploy in support of contingency operations, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to establish an oversight and quality assurance mechanism to ensure that all components fully comply with its requirements.

Egypt Slams Israel's Decision to Expand Settlements
Egypt FM Mohamed Amr says Israel's decision to construct 2,000 new housing units in East Jerusalem and West Bank was a blow to efforts to reach Middle East peace agreement.
Egypt on Friday condemned Israel's plan to construct 2,000 new housing units in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, announced earlier this week.
"This decision is a blow to all efforts being made to reach a fair settlement to the conflict and the Palestinian problem," Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr said.
He accused Israel of provoking the Palestinians and "disregarding the international will that has unanimously rejected the construction of settlements and considered it an obstacle to peace."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the plan on Tuesday.
Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979 and has played a key role in mediating peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis since the 1990s.
But Egypt's relations with Israel have been tense since the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak in February.

Hello. My husband and I will be away in salzburg for 2 days in mid July. Can anyone recommend a couple of great places to eat for dinner and lunch? We wanted authentic Austrian food with a great atmosphere.
Report Abuse
Hi Ann.
Here's what we had at the Goldener Hirsch for about 200E
the Goldener Hirsch for dinner only 10 min late.
The building was 600 years old in 2006, but doesn't look a day over 350. The restaurant is in the former stables. It is a very pleasant, whitewashed room with groined, vaulted ceilings. Service is very smooth and very discreet.
I have a note that the bread plate was very fresh and very crunchy, but this might have been due to it's being our first upscale dinner in Europe. Living in Madison, GA, one tends to forget what really good bread is like.
After an interesting amuse bouche of some sort of foamy thingy (foamy thingies are very big these days) we had Salmon Mousse for LW and Spargel for me (actually the spargel was meant for 2, but Roberta doesn't eat asparagus, so I had to force myself to eat her share).
Mains were Prawns for Roberta and Lake Char for me, with accompanying veggies. Wine was an Alte Reben Gruner Veltiner- 2004 for 39E.
Excellent companion to the fish and the spargel – slight green tint to a golden color; aromas of honey, white peaches, pears and apricots; a slightly tart apple and citrus taste leading to a mineral finish.
Dessert, which we shared, was the "Rigo Janci" – hidden toward the bottom of the list beneath stuff with lots of whipped cream on it.
This was a square of flourless chocolate cake topped by two layers of chocolate mousse (dark at the bottom, light at the top), a thin layer of schlag and a trellis of dark and light chocolate. A really scrumptious, amazingly light, very tasty and completely uncloying finishing touch.
I suggested to the head waiter that this be made their signature dessert.
Coffee was excellent – 200E with tip.
A note on the Goldener Hirsch: Many have said that it is overpriced for what you get. I think much depends on carefully reading the menu. For example, pre-dinner drinks – one Manhattan and one Martini cost us 50E. In future, I shall stick to tap water.
However: We really, really liked www.esszimmer.com
Since I wrote this report (2007), it has been awarded a Michelin star, and the prices have risen.
The restaurant is located just across the street from the bus stop for the Augustiner Bräustüberl. It is done in a modern décor, but the colors are warm and it is not unfriendly.
We were greeted and shown to our tables by a pleasant young lady, who was one of the owners. I told her that we had to take the last bus back to the Haus am Moos, and to please make sure that we were on it. She promised to do so, and was as good as her word. She paced the dinner so that we were not at all hurried, but finished our coffee, paid our bill, collected our paraphernalia and were at the bus stop with 5 min to spare.
Esszimmer offers 4 menus, which are changed monthly so that you can go there once a week and not eat the same thing. 3 menus are 5 courses, the Menu Andreas Kaiblinger is 7. With each menu you can have the wine pairing if you wish.
Prices are:
Vegetarian 46E Wine pairing 29E
Esszimmer 57E Wine pairing 30E
Fish 58E Wine pairing 26E
7 course 78E Wine pairing 35E
After accepting an offer of a glass of wine for an aperitif (Trocken Riesling for LW and a Riesling for me) we perused the menus. I chose the Esszimmer. My Lady Wife, whom age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety, surprised me by going vegetarian instead of with her usual fish.
Mrs Kaiblinger inquired as to whether LW was a vegetarian, as the openers contained fish, and offered to change them if needed. Being assured that Roberta was just in the mood for veggies, she began the presentation.
Dinner opened with a trio of amuses-bouche: a frothed and foamy cream of asparagus soup, a tiny piece of broiled halibut with an eensy, crispy spring roll, a sliver of marinated perch in an herbed cream sauce. All were excellent.
The rest of the 5 courses went from delight to delight. Each course service was set by a white-gloved waitress. Each offering and wine was described by our hostess, who was knowledgeable enough about the pairings to answer my simple questions – in a foreign language, no less.
Highlight of evening. My LW, who insists that she doesn't like "sweet" wine, refused her Beerenauslese (Martin Paisler, Jois – 2004), so I had it. Yummy.
The cheese tray was worthy of Paris. Wine Pairings with 5-course dinner for two 200E.
As noted, we were at the bus stop 5 min early. Hopped into our coach and were back at the am Moos happily satisfied. And so to bed.
Hope this helps

Our favorite place in Salzburg was Zum Fidelen Affen (the faithful ape), a real Austrian beer hall type restaurant. It's big, noisy, and you sit at shared tables. The beer flows freely, and the food is plentiful and very good. It's just a short walk across the river from the old city, in a nice area.

I posted my Salzburg report on chowhound, which I will copy for you here. Hope it helps.
Restaurant Elefant -- this is downstairs in the Hotel Elefant (where we stayed). They have tables out on the street, where you can watch the tourists walk by, and look at the old clocktower. Salzburg is so very charming! The service at this restaurant was quite good, a bit more attentive than we found in most places. We both had the chicken shnitzel over salad with pumpkin seed oil. The salad was a bit of potato salad, some carrot salad and also some green salad. And I really love the flavor of the pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkin seeds seem to be very popular in Austria. My favorite rolls were the ones covered with pumpkin seeds. Anyways, the food at Restaurant Elefant was quite good, and I would definitely recommend them for lunch or dinner.
Zum Wilden Mann -- also in the old city, just around the corner from our hotel. This is a fairly simple restaurant, with good traditional food. We had the cream of asparagus soup -- incredibly yummy! They made a nice goulash, although the dumplings were a bit of dry and dense. For dessert, we had pancakes with ice cream, chocolate sauce and toasted almonds. Yum! Service was haphazard, but okay. Also, important to note this restaurant is cash only....and this isn't posted anywhere (of course, the lack of credit card logos would have been the tipoff, but I just didn't look for this). So we were a little surprised when our credit cards were denied.
Our final dinner was at the Panorama restaurant, which is in the fortress at the top of the funicular. If you book the dinner & fortress concert ticket, they will book you up here, and you get a limited menu. We didn't want to be constrained, so we went up without the pre-paid dinner, and also no reservation. It would be wise to have a reservation if you want to eat here. We did end up getting a table, but it was uncertain...they had to make sure no other concert goers were coming.
I had turkey schnitzel this time, served with parsley potatoes and cranberry sauce. Turkey cutlets actually make a fine schnitzel, maybe better than chicken (you may have guessed by now...I'm not a fan of pork or veal. My travel companion did eat both and loved the veal schnitzel best). We also tried the mixed sausage plate, which was pretty good. For dessert, we had to have one more Sacher torte. And you know what? this place made it far better than the Cafe Sacher in Vienna! It was not so dry, the chocolate was thicker, and there was a stronger flavor from the apricot jam.
So I do recommend this place, especially if you are going up to hear a concert in the fortress. Its basically the only place to eat up there (there is a second pub-like restaurant, but it had a pretty limited menu and didn't interest us). For a place in such a touristy location, and with a captive audience, I thought they did a good job. We enjoyed the food.

We liked:
1)Humboldt Stubn, Gstattengasse 4-6.
2)Fingerlos, Franz-Josef-Strasse 9 (only serves breakfast & lunch).
3)My favorite was Köchelverzeichnis Weinstube, Steingasse 27,(right across from the Plaisir d'Amour). It is very small and offers only 2 dishes each night but it is excellent. The wine is great, and is often from the chef's cousin's vinyard in the Wachau. Go early or you won't get a seat- it only seats about 15 people & once there, no one leaves. If you want to call ahead the number is : +43 664 5167501.

When I was a student in Salzburg we loved to go to The Augustiner Brau.
It's as Austrian as it gets. You pay for your beer, grab a stein from the rack and head for the barrel. Lots of interesting local dishes to choose from at deli-like counters or from wandering pretzel and radish girls.
Since you'll be there in July the beer garden will be open. a very nice place to spend the afternoon.

The div works initially and properly reloads thelist.php upon a keyup but upon a reload the script stops working and does nothing upon a keyup. The code in the reloaded div is as follows:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
YAHOO.example = function() {
return {
init : function() {
YAHOO.util.Event.on('getList', 'keyup', this.getListCall);
keywordCall : function(e) {
currentListItem = document.getElementById('getList').value;
var getResults = new connectionWrapper('thelist.php?getList='+currentListItem, 'inner2');
YAHOO.util.Event.on (window, 'load', YAHOO.example.init, YAHOO.example, true);
List by:
Item: <input type="text" name="getList" id="getList" size="15" style="font-size:9px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, helvetica" />
I know the listener is no longer listening on the reloaded input but I don't know how to recreate the listener. I thought the code above would do it. The initial layout calls this script using an include statement and when the div is refreshed by another layout item, the same include statement again calls this script. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why do you choose to shop on Amazon? Fast delivery? Unlimited options? Reliable customer reviews? All of the above?
Amazon as a marketplace has grown to be relevant in the lives of more individuals than not. Amazon Prime, the $99 per year premium service, is in the homes of nearly 50% of Americans, according to Michael Levin, a CIRP partner and co-founder. Amazon has become necessary for selling products online to countless brands.
As a company that has been managing brands on the Amazon marketplace for over 10 years, we've come to understand what it takes to create quality content on Amazon in order to stand out from the crowd. We've boiled down this know-how into 4 steps to creating content that engages, educates, and converts.
1. Structure Your Catalog
Your product catalog is your foundation that drives the consumer experience. It allows your customers to navigate their way around your products, learn about your brand, identify your major themes, and find the information that is relevant to their buying decision.
2. Embrace Entropy
The fight for premium product placement is a daily battle on the Amazon marketplace. You can't get away from the fact that this is a competitive platform. There are more than 2 million FBA sellers with the same objective as you: to generate views, engage customers, and ultimately make sales.
3. Develop Engaging & Accurate Product Information
Having a structured catalog is what gives you a foundation to engage and educate consumers. The job of your descriptions and titles is now to make sure they get your message quickly and clearly.
4. Offer Quick Answers To Common Questions
Many consumers who are shopping online don't have the luxury of time when browsing. Having engaging and accurate information is a key in delivering the optimal shopping experience, but having this abundance of information can create more questions.
This is not a bad thing. Questions are good.

Question: Maybe a long, long time ago, in a far, far away place, folks used to tell women, "Oh, you can't do that … it's a man's job." And for whatever reason, it was acceptable. Maybe the work was too heavy, muddy or risky? But welcome to 2008, where jobs are no longer classified by gender. Better check to make sure your hiring managers understand that, too …
Case in Point: Gloria Sims was a substitute lunchroom worker at an Alabama school when a full-time position opened up. Her supervisor, however, informed her that it was a "man's job" because it involved lots of heavy lifting.
Plus, he said, the school was looking to add a "little color" to the lunchroom. So it decided to hire a black male candidate with a high school diploma.
Sims sued, alleging race and gender discrimination. The school denied the claim, arguing that Sims didn't hold a high school diploma as required for the position. Sims...(register to read more)

1994 Nissan Truck - Consumer Review

Great Drive
By Irish Duck Thumper on
Vehicle1994 Nissan Truck XE V6 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
ReviewHave driven this truck in heavy snow, mud and in traffic. Great whether I'm hunting or commuting. Handles all well. I bought it in 1998, have replaced the belts once and fixed brakes last year. Aside from oil changes and the aforementioned repairs, it's never needed any kind of attention. It's a great little truck, easy to drive, not "too much" truck. As expected, it's pretty light so on icy roads you need weight in the back, but with that weight it's a great winter truck. I now have 98,000 miles on it and it still uses very little oil, clutch is in great shape, no trouble at all. Without question I would buy this truck again.
Best FeaturesI've pulled more than 1 car out of a ditch with the chain hitch in front.
Worst FeaturesInside plastic parts don't last with tough treatment.

The Worldwide Standard of Living since 1800
By many measures a revolution in living conditions is sweeping the world. Most people today are better fed, clothed, and house than their predecessors two centuries ago. They are healthier, live longer, and are better educated. Women's lives are less centered on reproduction, and political democracy has gained a foothold. Current international differences in a number of standard of living indicators are significantly correlated. Historically, however, these improvements often started at quite different times, suggesting that the determinants of change in different aspects of the standard of living are varied.

By Neel Kale, from Cardsblog.com
The ZiPS projections are out! Oh, you don't know what those are because you're not a huge baseball nerd? Fair enough. The ZiPS projections are yearly projections that use player data from previous years to project the performance of teams in the upcoming season.
It's all thanks to FanGraphs, an excellent baseball site that I highly recommend. Always keep in mind that ZiPS projections shouldn't be taken too seriously. They aren't meant to be the One Truth, but they're fun to look at and make wild conjectures about. Today we will be looking at the ZiPS projection for the Cardinals on defense.
One of the biggest goals of the offseason was for the Cardinals to upgrade their defense. Heck, we've reiterated it over and over and over again on Cardsblog, not to mention countless other fans tweeting and yelling and sending letters by carrier pigeon.
Defense matters, especially for teams that are planning to go deep into the playoffs. Mozeliak pinky promised us that he would improve the outfield defense this offseason (more than once!). Did he complete his quest? To answer that, we have to start with some context.
The defense in 2016
The Cardinals didn't grade out as a horrible team on the defensive side of the ball last year, but they also weren't great. Of the 10 teams who made the playoffs, only 3 had a defensive Z-score (a combination of UZR and DRS) below zero.
Of those three teams, two were the wildcard teams eliminated in the first round, and the other was the Washington Nationals. This is not company the Cardinals would like to be in. Even if the Cardinals did make the playoffs, only Baltimore had a worse defensive Z-score than than the Redbirds.
Needless to say, the Cardinals had a multitude of defensive liabilities all over the field. It wasn't so much an Oakland A's situation where they have multiple bad defenders dragging their grade down, it was more that they had mediocrity all over the diamond. Matt Carpenter struggles to play positive defense, especially with all of his switching around. Jedd Gyorko got extended innings at second which is not ideal.
In the outfield, Randal Grichuk and Stephen Piscotty were both subpar, as they were too young to get an established footing. The Cardinals defense wasn't bad because of a couple of players, it was a holistic problem. Multiple players playing mediocre defense at multiple positions all added up to a murky defensive picture at best and a season ending performance at worst.
The defense for 2017
Is The Newly Extended Carlos Martinez an "Ace"? - Cardsblog
First up, the folks over at MLBTradeRumors.com broke the news quickly, as they always do. The extension talks between the club and Carlos Martinez came as a result of his upcoming first arbitration hearing. Martinez was pushing for a $4.25 million salary for the upcoming season, while the Cardinals submitted $3.9 million.
If you look at the graph for ZiPS projections for 2017, the Cardinals look awfully stagnant. In fact, they are stagnant. The Cardinals have the least change from their 2016 Z-score to their 2017 projected Z-score.
That tiny bar in the middle? That's the Cards.
This is actually a little puzzling because the Cardinals defense is different this year. Jhonny Peralta, historically an okay defender, is coming back to third. Aledmys Diaz, Grichuk and Piscotty are all young enough to improve, and they replaced ye old Matt Holliday with Dexter Fowler.
Yet, ZiPS projects the Cardinals to be the most stagnant team in baseball on the defensive side of the ball. Why is this?
My guess would be the way the projections work do not account for the types of changes the Cardinals are making. Seattle, the biggest difference in the positive direction, have made big position changes going into 2017. The Mariners replaced Nori Aoki, Seth Smith and Ketel Marte with Jarrod Dyson, Mitch Haniger and Jean Segura, all above average defensive players.
The Office: St. Louis Cardinals Edition - Cardsblog
Does that ring any bells? If it isn't, I am appalled by your lack of cultural woke-ness. He has the same name as Michael Scott, bossman at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. However, we should not be very surprised by this revelation. The two head-honchos have a lot more in common than we think.
Those are the kind of changes that ZiPS sees. The Cards, on the other hand, only swapped out one bad defensive player for another average defensive player. Even if you consider the young guns improvement and Diaz's return, there isn't a lot to really move the needle on defense math-wise.
Of course, there is a more obvious option. Maybe, just maybe, the Cardinals aren't going to improve on defense. Again, ZiPS isn't always 100% accurate, but the Cardinals made very few substantial moves this offseason. Carpenter and Peralta are only getting older, and there's no guarantee that Grichuk and Piscotty will improve. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility for the Cardinals to be just as bad, if not worse this upcoming season.
Although it's true that ZiPS may not be projected the Cardinals to the highest degree of accuracy, it is disappointing there is no visible improvement going into 2017. Of course, nobody expected Fowler to save the defense and suddenly turn the Cards outfield into perennial gold glovers, but it is a little alarming that something that was touted as such a high priority this offseason was barely even changed by the most generous of metrics.
Maybe the risk on defensive replacements in the outfield were to risky or not available, but the Cardinal's defense won't be particularly reliable heading into 2017. All we have left to do is wait and see and hope the math is wrong.
Cardinals Should Stick With a Traditional Five-Man Rotation - Cardsblog
A couple weeks ago, Brett Butz over at KangarooCourtSTL.com argued that the St. Louis Cardinals should buck convention this season and implement a six-man starting rotation. His reasoning appears to be fairly straightforward. Most importantly, the Cardinals should have seven capable major league options in Mike Leake, Lance Lynn, Carlos Martinez, Alex Reyes, Michael Wacha, Adam Wainwright and Luke Weaver.

New card statements elicit fear, spur action
Anxiety from new credit card statements could spur consumers to reduce debt
Debt-saddled consumers, beware: You may experience sticker shock when you receive your next credit card statements, thanks to the Credit CARD Act of 2009.
What's happening: Consumers are getting new credit card statements that, for the first time, show how long it may take to pay off debt. That realization may shock some into action, but experts fear others may hide their heads in the sand.
The statements, which now include a payout forecast that shows how much interest you'll pay and how long it will take to get out of debt by making the minimum payments, will likely invoke some anxiety, psychologists and credit counselors agree. But the extra concern may be the push consumers need to get out of debt for good.
"A lot of people never sit down and calculate how long it would take them to pay their credit card debt off if they make the minimum payment," says Mary Gresham, an Atlanta-based clinical psychologist who specializes in financial issues. As a result, "they have no anxiety about it and very little motivation to change their spending habits and pay the debt off."
But consumers who have only focused in the past on whether the minimum payments fit into their monthly budgets will now be reminded month after month of how making minimum payments could cost them hundreds or even thousands more over the long run. The normal reaction to that knowledge should be a sense of discomfort, Gresham says. But that is ultimately a good thing. "If you anticipate that you're going to be in debt for 15 years over this small bill, then you begin to take action. You change your spending habits and make as big a payment as you can."
Reaching out for help
The new statements don't just show consumers how perilous their financial situations are; they also provide consumers with a path for seeking help, as all statements must include a toll-free number that consumers can call for information on credit counseling. Since Feb. 22, when major provisions of the Credit CARD Act and the new statements went into effect, credit counselors have seen a definite shift in consumer behavior as more people have called counseling organizations looking for help.
Too much anxiety creates an avoidance of the problem.
|-- Mary Gresham
Clinical psychologist
Money Management International, based in Houston, created a special telephone number to track calls that resulted from the revised credit card statements. In the two weeks following Feb. 22, the organization received nearly 1,500 calls, says spokeswoman Tanisha Warner.
Farmington Hills, Mich.-based GreenPath Debt Solutions also created a special number to track Credit CARD Act-related calls, and they've seen the number of calls double since Feb. 22, says spokesman Andrew Johnson. "We can say the CARD Act has us seeing an increase in traffic," Johnson says.
Using anxiety wisely
While many people will take on a new sense of urgency when it comes to paying down credit card debt, thanks to the revised statements, others may become overwhelmed by anxiety.
"Too much anxiety creates an avoidance of the problem," says Gresham. "You may tear up the bill, throw it away or not want to deal with it because you don't have any money instead of calling your creditors and saying, 'Here's my situation.'"
At the other end of the spectrum -- and an even bigger problem, Gresham says -- is having no anxiety when looking at a credit card statement and seeing a lot of debt that needs to be paid off. "If your anxiety level is too low, you need to look a little more carefully at your bill," she says.
Getting poll results. Please wait...
Physical, emotional consequences
Those who feel more anxious or stressed out as a result of the revised statement may experience physical and emotional symptoms including muscle tension, headaches, irregular heart rate, loss of concentration, irritability and sleeping difficulties, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Self-help strategies, such as eating right, exercising, meditation and avoiding caffeine and alcohol, may not work for those who are paralyzed by fear or feel like they are hindered in their day-to-day life as a result of their financial worries. Those individuals should seek the help of a psychological professional, Gresham advises. If the increased anxiety is bothersome, yet manageable, a credit counselor can help consumers ease their fears by suggesting a course of action such as a payment plan or a new household budget.
All in all, the revised credit card statements are good for consumers, Gresham says, because "you want to be anxious about owing this amount of consumer debt at this interest rate. A little bit of anxiety motivates you."
Melinda Opperman, a spokeswoman for Springboard Nonprofit Consumer Credit Management, based in Riverside, Calif., agrees.
"With knowledge comes power and having that knowledge is going to make consumers more in control and give them more personal responsibility," she says.

In the shot just after they fall after trying to escape, the ballerina is laying with her leg straight out. In the very next shot, she is kneeling in a totally different direction.
(Opening Narration)
Narrator: Clown, hobo, ballet dancer, bagpiper, and an army major - a collection of question marks. Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. No logic, no reason, no explanation; just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness and the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows. In a moment we'll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats and the wheres. We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it - because this is the Twilight Zone.
The Major: Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Who are you, what are you doing here? Is there a circus around here somewhere?
The Clown: A circus? (laughs) Yeah. Yeah, there must be a circus. A clown, a circus. An officer, a war. That's logic, isn't it? But it doesn't figure at all. Not at all.
The Major: Why not?
The Clown: Because there is no circus. And there is no war.
The Major: Who are we?
The Ballerina: None of us knows, Major. We don't know who we are. We don't know where we are. Each of us woke up one moment. Here we were in the darkness.
The Major: How can that happen?
The Ballerina: That's the question we asked ourselves. A question with no answer, Major. Nameless things with no memory. No knowledge of what went before. No understanding of what is now. No knowledge of what will be.
The Clown: Very active chap. For a functionary. Compulsive worker.
The Major: You a big time psychologist, huh?
The Clown: I'm a clown. Which is neither here, there, or anyplace. I could be a certified public accountant, a financier, a left-handed pitcher who throws only curves. What difference does it make?
The Clown: Brave man. Not a very bright one.
The Ballerina: He'll come back for us. I know he will.
The Clown: He may be back, but it won't be to get us. He may be right at that. He may have been very right. This may be Hell.
(Closing Narration)
Narrator: Just a barrel, a dark depository where are kept the counterfeit, make-believe pieces of plaster and cloth, wrought in the distorted image of human life. But this added, hopeful note: perhaps they are unloved only for the moment. In the arms of children there can be nothing but love. A clown, a tramp, a bagpipe player, a ballet dancer and a major. Tonight's cast of players on the odd stage known as the Twilight Zone.
This episode is based on the short story "The Depository" by Marvin Petal.
Mona Houghton is the daughter of producer Buck Houghton, who worked on this episode.
The title was inspired by Luigi Pirandello's 1921 play "Five Characters in Search of an Author."

Good job with the chapter. I noticed a few sentences that you ran together without punctuation, but otherwise, typos were minimal.
I'm sad that you killed off Lex... but what must be done will be done. Maybe he died a little TOO quickly. (The Joker likes to watch his victims suffer over a period of time. That's why his weapon of preference is a blade.) I won't flip out about that, though. :)
Um, other than that, Joker was pretty well in-character. Chloe was fine.
And who is the cute bad guy? ;) I wanna know, so...

love this as long as chole and bruce are together thats fine

I've only read the first chapter, well skimmed really, so I can't really give you a proper critic on your plot or use of characters. I've flipped over to your other chapters and I've seen a reoccuring theme: You don't properly format your story. I'm not talking about grammar, though this is technically a part of grammar and writing, I'm talking about the lack of neatness when you write. I like your idea, it's original and intriguing, but I'm afraid I won't read the rest until you re-format your story.
I'm not trying to be rude, nor am I flaming your story, but reading your story in the format that it is in now actually hurts my eyes.
I'm sorry if this seems like a flame to you, but I really think this would improve your writing significantly.

update when you can
| soul.meets.body chapter 14 . 5/10/2009
Yes, my reviews brought you back to life! Just kidding; I give myself too much credit...
I loved Bart. He's hyper and funny. I loved that everyone was meeting together. Who were the last two people to arrive?
Tony's last line amused me the greatest.
The one problem I'd noticed is that Ollie called everyone together before he even had figured out where Chloe went. He would find out, plan an operation, and call together only the heroes he needed.
But that's okay. I'm just glad to see a post. :)
I'm waiting for the next one!
| soul.meets.body chapter 13 . 5/4/2009
One little blip I noticed: if the title of the story was "Saved by the Batman, a story by Chloe Sullivan," why would Bruce say, "if The Joker finds out she wrote this..."? Her name is right under the title. Don't worry, though, I make mistakes like that a lot.
On the plus side, the phrase, "cruel mockery of a clown face" was amazing. Good word choice in there! :)
And the ending was such a cliff-hanger. Maybe you'll post again soon, because I'm looking forward to more!
| soul.meets.body chapter 12 . 5/4/2009
I'm sorry for being so lazy and not readind this for FOREVER. But now that I'm here...
That was a good chapter. I am intruiged, and I want to find out what was on that photo.
On pairings, I have been converted to Chlex, so I can't giove you any advice there. It's obvious that they are not into each other in this story.
Yes, well, there is another chapter for me to read...
| Teddy R. Lupin chapter 1 . 3/23/2009
Tony Stark is in the Marvel Comics Universe, while Chloe, Clark, and Bruce Wayne are in the DC Comics Universe. Otherwise, it's a good piece of writing. Keep it up!
| 4321 chapter 13 . 3/23/2009
ok u need to update soon love to see chole has to be kept under lock and key bye bruce aka batman keeping her safe from the joker she could also be is amazing story please dont leave it to long
| d-scarlet chapter 12 . 3/7/2009
Sorry it has taken so long to review, but I haven't had access to a computer the last couple days. Anyways, Chruce all the way! Definitely Chruce!
All right, now that it is established that Chruce is the prefered choice, wonderful chapter! And so not good that Lex knows Clark's secret. Keep going!

Puerto Rico's beautiful climate is just as inviting as Mexico and other parts of the Caribbean, but families traveling from the U.S. rejoice at the fact that passports aren't required. All ages enjoy the beaches, water sports, history and culture, plus the wide array of resorts available. Although there aren't any "real" all-inclusive Puerto Rico resorts, these resorts offer meal plans and packages that will make your family vacation even more relaxing.
El Conquistador Resort, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
In 2016, El Conquistador Resort introduced a true all-inclusive experience in Puerto Rico! Located in Fajardo, the resort's new all-inclusive package covers all meals, select alcoholic beverages, admission to the onsite Coqui Water Park, and access to all of the other amenities -- including the resort's private oasis, Palomino Island, and an onsite scavenger hunt.
El Conquistador Resort
Las Casitas Village, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
Next to El Conquistador Resort, Las Casitas Village offers the same all-inclusive package. Of the two hotels, Las Casitas Village is the more luxurious, with spacious villas with kitchens overlooking the ocean. The Waldorf Astoria Spa and an infinity-edge pool are also located closest to this hotel. But the Coqui Water Park -- covered in all-inclusive rates -- is only a short walk (or complimentary golf cart ride) away.
Las Casitas Village, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico
Located just 25 minutes from San Juan International Airport, but far enough removed that families feel secluded, the Gran Melia Golf Resort offers spacious guestrooms and suites. Book a Red Level room and enjoy additional amenities, such as kitchenettes, DVD players, private balconies and more. Red Level guests also receive Red Level Lounge access, with breakfast, free Wi-Fi, butler service and evening drink and snack service daily -- all included. Activities that all guests can enjoy at the resort include two tennis courts, one basketball court, a kids' club, nightly entertainment, dance classes, spa treatments and more. Guests of the Gran Melia also receive complimentary transportation and exclusive privileges to two world-class golf courses just minutes away.
Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico
Copamarina Beach Resort
Families looking for an all-inclusive experience can book the Full American Plan or the Full American Luxury Plan at the Copamarina Beach Resort in Guanica, Puerto Rico. These add-on packages include breakfast and lunch daily at the Las Palmas Cafe and dinner daily at Alexandra's Restaurant or the Las Palmas Cafe. Soda, water and juice are included with the first, while house wine and beer are included with dinner in the second option.
Regardless of which plan you pick, the entire family will get to enjoy the resort's many activities, like kayaks, paddle boards and Hobbie Cats; a kids' playground; two swimming pools, plus two more just for kids; volleyball; tennis; sailing and more. Guestrooms and suites also include deluxe amenities, such as refrigerators, coffeemakers and free Wi-Fi. The largest suite can sleep up to six.
Copamarina Beach Resort
Wyndham Garden at Palmas del Mar
Relax at the Wyndham Garden at Palmas del Mar and let your worries drift away by booking the Room & Meals Package. The all-inclusive plan offers guests breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, a $20 casino match bet coupon for adults and two welcome drinks for adults. Families will also enjoy rooms and suites with private balconies; the three-tiered pool with an infinity edge and swim-up bar; a complimentary resort shuttle to nearby golf and attractions and more. Onsite dining includes a sit-down restaurant, the pool bar (with lunch options), a wine cellar for late-night drinks and a pastry and coffee shop, which also has cookies -- perfect for bedtime snacks. Room service is also available daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Wyndham Garden at Palmas del Mar
Villa Montana Beach Resort
Although not a full all-inclusive resort, the Villa Montana Beach Resort offers a plethora of activities and amenities for families. From the children's playground to free bike rentals to in-room spa treatments to two pools to water sports to horseback riding... you get the idea. Additional fees may apply, but families can save elsewhere by booking the Modified American Plan, which includes breakfast and a three-course dinner daily, per guest. Beverages are not included, but the resort does offer free coffee in the lobby every morning. Additional perks at the Villa Montana include free Wi-Fi, free parking, private patios or terraces in guestrooms, and a fully equipped gym.

"When I got knocked down by guys bigger than me . . . [my mother] sent me back out and demanded that I bloody their nose so I could walk down the street the next day."
&Joe Biden
In this, the first definitive biography of Vice President Joe Biden, renowned journalist Jules Witcover examines the fascinating life of a man who, with his tenacity, outspokenness, and charming smile, has shaped Washington politics for the past 40 years and who now serves as the 47th vice president of the United States.
Raised in the working-class towns of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, and with lackluster grades in school and no particular goals other than to play sports or, fleetingly, to become a priest, Biden shocked the nation in 1972 when he became one of the youngest elected senators in U.S. history. From that point forward, he carved a legacy for himself as one of the most respected legislators in the country.
Biden's record in Congress was impressive. He chaired three Senate committees, confronted Slobodan Miloševic head-on as a war criminal, and conducted the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court justices. After voting for the 2002 Senate resolution to use force in Iraq, he later called for its repeal and became an outspoken critic of the conduct of the war.
Yet for all of Biden's achievements, his life has been filled with tragedy and countless challenges.
Joe Biden: A Life of Trial and Redemption is based on exhaustive research by one of Washington's most prolific journalists. In drawing on numerous exclusive interviews with Biden's confidants and family members, as well as President Obama and Vice President Biden, Witcover has gone beyond conventional biography to track the forces that have shaped a man who, with his plainspoken style and inspiring life story, has resonated with millions of Americans and whose work is now influencing the Obama-Biden administration and shaping America.

Sympathetic but dull bio
Like him or hate him, most would agree that Joe Biden is at least an interesting personality. Add in an experienced and respected journalist/author in Jules Witcover and you would expect a compelling if not hard hitting read. Yet what results here is a rather pedestrian, by the numbers biography, devoid of any real insights. Most of the major events of Biden's personal and political career are covered, from the tragic accident that claimed his first wife, through his senate campaigns, with particular focus on the various Supreme Court confirmation hearings he chaired, through the 2008 election and his first year as Veep. Though clearly a fan, Witcover does not gloss over Biden's penchant for verbal gaffes and the accusations of plagiarism. Still, there is not much depth here and Biden's role, stance, or opinions on more than a few of the more major political events of the past thirty years (e.g the end of the Cold War, the rise of terrorism, the Clinton impeachment, the George W Bush presidency) receive only a cursory treatment. The end result reads somewhat like a campaign bio: factual but dull and uncontroversial. Given Biden's outspokenness - both for the public betterment and occasionally, his own detriment, it's a shame that this book couldn't match its subject.

text: GLOBE AND MAILBy J.D. ConsidineFriday, May 12, 2006, Page R29 Perpetually Hip Mimi FoxFavored Nations **** On her ambitious seventh album, guitarist Fox manages to show her strengths in two formats, working with a rhythm section on the first half of this double-CD, and performing solo on the second. Although clearly indebted to the great Joe Pass, Fox is very much her own woman, with a distinctive tone -- crisp and trebly enough to minimize the difference between her electric and her acoustic -- and a wonderfully idiosyncratic approach to standards. Her interplay with drummer Billy Hart on The Song Is You is a masterpiece of phrasing and rhythmic tension, while her unexpectedly dissonant solo version of Caravan makes the old chestnut seem new again. Perpetually astonishing.

24HR HomeCare was recommended by the Adventist Hospital. Jacob, my father's caregiver was great. He was fantastic. I didn't have to ask him anything. He knew what to do and took care of things. He was just a wonderful man. The management is very good and very accommodating. Everything was terrific. I'm really happy with them.

We found them online. I looked at their reviews and made a decision after we interviewed two other agencies. They are pretty good at what they do. They are very responsible. Everytime we had any issues, they fix them right away. We were really impressed. Everything was handled very well.

Quick Easter Craft
In honor of Easter this Sunday, here is a really quick and really inexpensive craft that would be great as decor for your home or even a cute hostess gift as a thank you for that Easter ham dinner.
This idea came from my Two Thrifty Chicks business venture with my friend. I had these wooden crosses that I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby last summer and didn't know what I could use them for, so we came up with this cute idea.
You will need the following items:
– a picture frame (the ones shown here are all from Dollar Tree- 1 buck each)
– some scrapbooking paper (you can use any design but I would match it to your home decor or the decor of the person you are giving it to)
– a wooden cross (made of a thin balsa like wood; you can find these at craft stores everywhere )
– paint for the cross (I used spray paint and craft paint; choose whatever you like best)
–scissors (to cut the paper to size)
Take your scrapbook paper and cut it to fit into your frame. (Just take out the glass and trace it on the paper to make a perfect fit).
Then paint the cross the color of your choice:
*We glued our crosses onto the scrapbook paper but I am sure you can find an even better way to hold it down. *
And voila!
A cute and easy decoration for Easter or really all year long.
I love the detail of the paper on this one, it looks just like lace. And these aren't even my most favorite of the batch we made.
Come to think of it, this would make a great confirmation gift, baptism gift ( you could personalize the cross with paint pen!!), minister's gift, the list goes on and on!
I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything crafty and some of my blog friends have inspired me with spring craft creations so enjoy and I promise I will get my mojo back soon.
