Want to obtain a free possibility to win huge prizes? Sweepstakes cafe is an answer for you.
The backbone of these internet coffee shops is the internet games. All you need to do is get a services or product which is generally an internet gain access to time or a telephone card as well as you get an opportunity to play a cost-free advertising game sponsored by the internet cafe. The video games normally resemble keno, slots as well as card games. The prizes are typically handed out in the form of cash money. All this is preserved by a certified computer literate staff.
You could locate sweepstakes cafe in or near a shopping center. Special machines are set up where gamers can see if they won any type of reward or not.
Manville RI 02838 Internet Cafe Sweepstakes Is Lawful
Many individuals have an idea that sweepstakes cafe is prohibited and that is why they refrain from attempting their luck. This is not real as there is a difference between business version of sweepstakes as well as hardcore gambling.
Business version of sweepstakes cafe deals with the exact same idea since McDonald's Syndicate promo. You have the tendency to acquire a burger or nuggets as well as obtain a free access to play a syndicate game.
Who Calls It Betting?
There are three aspects that make a company model gambling:
1. Opportunity
2. Reward
3. Exactly how you are taken into consideration for a game
You obtain a possibility to play a video game much like a card game or a slot video game. Naturally, this you can quickly do by resting at home and playing on the internet. That will state that you are doing something unlawful? You are using the internet with no money!!!
The Prize is exactly what you concern sweepstakes cafe for. This is the part of any sweepstakes game.
The means you are taken into consideration for a game matters the most. And also right here is the catch; sweepstakes could be thought about betting if you are paying straight to play the game as well as win prizes. Yet just what you are paying for?
Yes, I heard it right!!!!
You are paying for purchasing internet time or telephone cards as well as obtaining a possibility to win amazing prizes. Sweepstakes cafe has a special video gaming system called sweepstakes device where you attempt your luck instead of playing on a syndicate board. This makes it legal.
Why Internet Sweepstakes In Manville Rhode Island 02838?
You only count on McDonalds or Coca-Cola or other huge business if they start an advertising and marketing tool like sweepstakes, but not sweepstakes cafe.
This is since many of the population is well known with these big companies, but nobody is mindful of Kelly's internet cafe at the corner of the shopping center. McDonald's is offering its hamburger and giving away sweepstakes and Kelly is marketing internet time and providing away sweepstakes.
Sweepstakes Accreditation
You will be pleased to understand that the federal government has employed some policemans with the single responsibility of inspecting the sweepstakes cafe to make sure that the games are all accredited as well as no betting is happening.
They are trained to check the software of the video game to guarantee that it is lawful. A legal document is created showing all the regulations of sweepstakes video games.
The accreditation process is extremely difficult, taxing and costly. There are a variety of points that the pc gaming system needs to follow or even if just one factor befalls, every little thing goes into vain. You have to redesign the video game.
Sweepstakes Fraud
Aside from this, you have to see to it that the cafe is not billing anything to attempt your good luck. You could just play video games by getting a product, a service, internet time or a telephone card.
Lately an instance took place where the games were being played without buying any kind of product and services. Instead, individuals were directly paying in money for attempting their luck. This was considered illegal and also a situation was made versus the owner as well as the consumers that belonged of this.
Examine on the internet, research it well, store about, ask individuals and inspect the certificate prior to tipping into one of the sweepstakes cafe. There is no credit scores in this organisation, and also if somebody is providing this facility, straight away leave the location and also call the cops.
Once again Sweepstakes internet cafe is an extremely reputable leisure organisation where individuals can invest some money to purchase internet time as well as play games to win cash. Many people have won countless dollars as a cash prize and also currently leading a rich life. Numerous ignorant people are duped in this service, yet it is all good sense that enters into play while attempting your good luck.

Airport Bomb-Detection Devices Rare and Expensive
January 16, 2002
The Bush administration has set an end-of-the-year deadline for deploying thousands of bomb-detection machines to all airports around the country. But aviation-security specialists doubt that goal will be met -- not only because the devices are complex and expensive, but also because few are even available yet.
- Two months after President Bush signed a law mandating the equipment, the government has bought fewer than two dozen machines -- and it isn't even sure yet how it will afford the $5 billion for the rest.
- The estimated 2,200 machines needed aren't even available yet, and only two companies have been federally certified for their products.
- Currently, only a tiny fraction of checked luggage is examined for explosives.
- While more costly than other detection methods, the machines are believed to be less error prone.
Many of the machines are as large as pickup trucks and weigh several tons. Just 161 are in use today at roughly 50 airports.
At issue is just what kind of machines the government should buy. The explosive-detection machines certified now are notoriously slow and prone to false alarms. But they are capable of capturing suspicious objects in detailed pictures similar to those of a hospital CT scan.
Alternatives might not provide images as detailed, or process bags as quickly, but they could at least help achieve the goal of 100 percent screening by year's end.

How I Spent My Winter Vacation - Linky Party!!!
Clutter-Free Classroom is having a Linky Party....so I'm linking up!!! I have been having a great time reading all of the posts made by all of the other teachers that have linked up. Man, some of yall NEVER stop!!! Apparently, most of you have a totally different 2 week Christmas break than we do. We just finished our first week, so I still have over a week to go! Our kiddos actually do not go back to school until Jan. 9th!!! Yep...I'm smiling over here about that!!! The teachers go back on the 6th, but it is a meeting kind of a day...and some time in our classroom! :)
So, what have I done on my first week off for Christmas break...NOTHING FUN!!!! I have been in the emergency room twice, the 24th and the 26th, and had a small "surgical" procedure on the 27th! Since then I have done nothing but lay around because I have had NO ENERGY...due to the fact that I am now anemic! I came very close to having to have a blood transfusion on the 27th, so now my body needs to recoup!!! Sitting around doing nothing is great for blog hopping and spending lots of time on Pinterest searching for great ideas!!!
Ok, so my first week of break was REALLY BORING...so I am hoping to get things accomplished this coming week. My plans are to...WORK ON MY NURSERY FOR MY NEW GRAND BABY!!! Yeah!!!! It's something I've been "planning on" since this summer...and I still have not gotten around to doing it. But...as I sit here writing this blog, my awesome hubby and our new "son" (a totally different story), are beginning to get things going for me by moving furniture so we can begin the process!!! In order to set up my nursery, I have to rearrange 3 different rooms in my house!!! NOTHING I do is uncomplicated!!! I guess I should take some pics and post them so that I can actually prove that I am getting things accomplished!!! This will be a week of decluttering, rearranging, and then heading back to the classroom to get ready for the second half of the school year!
Better than pics of my rooms is a pic of my adorable granddaughter...Raylie Anne!!! I wub her soooo much!!! She will be 3 months old on Jan. 3rd! I think I could start a blog just about her!!!
If you haven't already linked up to this cute linky party, head on over there to let us know what you have been doing on your time off!!!
I also want to give a shout out to a NEW BLOG..."The Best Endings: A Blog all about Books". Erica, from "The Honey Bunch", along with a lot of other great contributors...have started this awesome blog about books...and they make me feel horrible!!! Why??? I NEVER READ!!!! Well...books that is!!! I use to read all the time when I was a young girl, a teenager, and even as an adult...until about 10 years ago. Now, I don't know when I could ever find the time to actually sit down and read a book. My ADHD brain just has not been lending itself to that type of activity!!! I guess I really need to try to start doing that again! Yall go check out the new blog...you will really enjoy it!!!

Muse is a young cat whose mind has a special power, but she feels trapped living her life as a stray in the big city. With no memories of her kittenhood, she is haunted by dreams of the countryside, and she begins to wonder if the country is her real home.
Two other stray city cats befriend Muse, and each of them has its own journey to make as well. Together, they embark on an adventure to discover what it means to be home, to find peace, to experience joy, love, loss, and acceptance, and to experience a wild ride along the way.

Wonderful story and narration
Not going to lie...I shed a few tears on this one. Several different reasons, mainly knowing that all three cats were working towards their dream, all different ones, but all perfect for them individually.
They were all my favorite for different reasons. We can all relate to being exhausted from life in general, to feeling attractive to others, to chasing a dream. Even the train cats were favorite characters!
This was my first opportunity to listen to one of Ms. Hurst's performances. I was happy to hear the enunciation of each word (hard now days!) and it was great to hear the different voices she had for each of the characters. I smiled when several characters were "talking" and she was able to keep all of them very distinct.
This was a great story and wonderful narration. I laughed out loud, smiled, frowned, and teared up at some parts of the story. Definitely well worth listening to!

Cheaper options needed for international calls
International calls in the UAE has been expensive
Follow >

Disable alert for Skype,
Click here to add Telecommunications Regulatory Agency as an alert
Disable alert for Telecommunications Regulat ...
Etisalat has done well to make inter-emirate calls on the landline free. This will increase usage in a more interconnected UAE population. But, etisalat could do two more important things: Reduce the cost of international calls and open up Voip.
For years, UAE consumers have been waiting for Internet-based (VoiP) services such as Skype and Viber to be legalised in the UAE, but the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency has consistently refused to do so.
Voice communications in the UAE are still regulated and can only be offered by a licenced telecom operator.
The TRA rarely gives an explanation about why internationally-available VoiP services are still banned — and they have been since 2005 — but telecom analysts often point to efforts at protecting the revenues of the UAE's two telecoms operators.
In the UAE, making international calls has been expensive.
If TRA, etisalat and du want to provide something of use to UAE residents, they should focus on ways to offer alternative options, thereby bringing the UAE's telecommunications sector up to international standards.
It will be a boon to both consumers and businesses. VoiP is already a reality in most parts of the world, especially in countries with a free market. Due to the growing dominance of this technology, any country that fails to adopt it will have more than a loss of revenue to fear. It will put its competitive edge at risk.

So far so good. As far as frugality, July is my best month so far this year. I think the key factor is bigger than ever motivation to become financially independent at some point in my life, hopefully before the ripe retirement age of 60. I did a lot of calculations, budget wise, and as of this month I am increasing the amount that I want to save (and invest) each month to 50% of my paycheck. This includes the 401k allocations, since these $$ are savings too, just taken automatically before I even see them. At the same time, I realize that 'life happens' and the 50% savings probably will not be possible at all times, but for now this is the plan. Phew. Let's do it!
1. Free bagels and lunch (twice) at work
This week was so busy at work, it's crazy. I think I say it every week, but this one really was a killer. At the same time, I know that August & September will be even busier so I am bracing myself for that already. In the meantime, to make it easier on us and get some excitement from everyone, the 'bosses' were ok with ordering a couple of lunches and bagels for breakfast.
At the end of the day, there was still so much food left that I packed a 'doggie bag' for T. and that's what I served for dinner. It was a great idea since I found out next day that whatever was not eaten was trashed anyway.
2. Shoes for Doug
Do you remember my post about my friend's move? I kept one pair of the previously trashed shoes for Doug. If you are sometimes in SoHo (corner of Spring and Lafayette to be exact), you probably have seen Doug many times. Doug is in his mid 60's, a Vietnam War veteran and one of the thousands of homeless people that live on the streets of Manhattan. I struck a conversation with Doug a couple of years ago and he melted my heart immediately. Since then I always try to help him out occasionally, whether it is a few dollars for a soup, bottled water or some clothing that T. does not wear anymore.
3. Turned PG Girl's dress into a skirt
Well, this is a frugal accomplishment for both of us ;). I turned PG's dress into a skirt and she gave me a bottle of face make up remover and a few face masks samples. Win-win.
4. No meals out
Not even one. I have to say, this is getting easier and easier. I am trying to expand my cooking repertoire so we don't get bored with having the same 4 things over and over again.
5. Sunday brunch turned free picnic
PG Girl and I are spending the day together (we are sitting at the Bean Cafè as I am writing this). I took crackers, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers from home so we had lunch in the park. The weather is absolutely glorious, sunny and hot but with a light breeze. As long as one is staying in the shade, this is a perfect day.
6. Free ink
I forgot (can you believe this?) to use $14 Staples rewards and a few days ago I got an email saying that I have a 'grace period' to use is plus got $6 bonus making it a whooping $20. I also had $10 off of any ink which meant FREE ink for my home printer. One set usually lasts me for a year. Score!
How did YOU save money?

Book Review – GABRIEL'S ATONEMENT by Vickie McDonough
Do you like historical fiction? I love a good story, and I love it especially if it's historical. Vickie McDonough put a lot of research into this Oklahoma land rush, and you can tell it in this absorbing book about the race to find land with water, pasture, and flat land for farming.
Gabe Coulter thought Tom Talbot was just another easy mark. It was payday on the Whitman spread, and the cowboy thought he'd like to double his money at Gabe's poker table. However, a little too much liquor and way too many misjudgments saw Tom's money drifting to Gabe's side of the table. Angrily, he accuses Gabe of cheating and draws on him, but Gabe is faster and deadlier.
It bothers Gabe that he's killed a man who is a young father and husband. He determines he will find the widow and give her the money he won from the cowboy. He sends a man to tell the woman to come to him, but she refuses. He decides to go find her himself and finds something he really has a hard time believing.
Lara Talbot is obviously dirt-poor. Patched and frayed dress, bare feet, and rough hands tells Gabe she is a hard working pretty woman with a lot of pride—and a cute little boy—but she will not accept money.
Lara lives with an elderly, ailing grandfather and a rebellious little sister as well as the little boy. Lara is the sole support of the little family, and she didn't expect or want anything from Tom's so-called estate. Tom had been a gambling man, foot-loose and fancy free even while he was married. It had been her worst mistake to marry him, but she sure didn't want any help from this good-looking dude.
When their landlord comes to tell them he needs the dugout they've been renting for his son, Lara wonders if God has totally forgotten them. They have no choice but to enter the race for some Oklahoma land.
Gabriel's Atonement is Available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Christian Book Distributors. Go for it!

I was super inspired by a recent post by gorgeous LA Blogger Brittany Xavior of Thrifts and Threads featuring her beautiful daughter Jadyn. My little mini me has been wanting to be in a post for ages so I thought Seed was the perfect brand for her to make her debut in. How cute does she look! Not to mention her natural ability ; )

I shot this outfit ages ago, think I was pregnant at the time (there is slight evidence!). It features one of my very favourite skirts from the vintage collection by Michiko Koshino. I only get it out once in a while because it's dreamy and I want to preserve it's pristine paper-thin cotton…

Video shows Brussels teenagers throwing car down flight of stairs onto underground station platform
Police and transport officials said no one was injured, despite the station being open at the time
A video has emerged purporting to show a group of teenagers throwing a car down a flight of stairs into a metro station in Brussels.
The extraordinary footage was posted to YouTube on New Year's Eve, and has since been viewed more than 75,000 times.
Belgian police said the incident took place at around 8pm on 31 December while the station was open to passengers, and people can be seen in the video coming up the escalator on the other side as the vehicle crashes down three flights.
According to Belgian daily La Libre, the incident caused the closure of the Clemenceau station and, as of late on New Year's Day, officials had still been unable to remove the car from the platform.
Guy Sablon, a spokesman for train operator STIB, said the incident involved a small green electric car and that, despite the dangerous actions of the group of teenagers, no injuries were reported.
Broadcaster VRT quoted Brussels police as saying one young person had been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the incident.

This clip has gotten millions of views on Facebook since last night and it's easy to see why.
"I think she's great. I think she's really talented, and I think she's super smart...and I'd take her over anybody else that would do it. To me, it's really exciting to have the first mother in the White House...it's not about the first woman, it's about the first mom. Because a mother, she's got it. A mother just does it. She feeds you and teaches you. She protects you. She takes care of shit."Louis C.K. really has an uncanny way of explaining things, and does a valuable service here. Many voters, particularly young people, still need to know that this election isn't a "lesser of two evils" choice. Far from it. In fact, we are on the cusp of electing a historic and inspiring candidate who will get stuff done like no one else before her.
In other words, the first mom president. And how cool is that?

I started a project and- unlike many before it- I finished! (Funny how that happens when you impose strict deadlines.)
It's called FRINGE and it's a brief publication focused on everything I like- Food, fashion, art, culture. Basically, an extension of this blog, with more room for creative freedom.
I want ensure that I'm covering topics you like too- which is why I'm extending an invitation for suggestions, contributions, criticism.
The plan is for FRINGE to be released bimonthly, with both digital and physical versions.
Physical copies will be limited to used book stores and coffee shops around Greensboro. But if you live out of town (OR want to save paper OR want to see the issue in full color) you can check out the online mag by following THIS LINK.

Nuclear Attacks
Nuclear attacks could occur through terrorist events or enemy country attacks. The result of both is mass devastation, although both are extremely unlikely due to nuclear anti-proliferation efforts. The difficulty of moving weaponized radioactive isotopes in conjunction with the difficulty of weaponizing radioactive isotopes makes terrorist acquisition of weapons next to impossible. The most likely situation would be that terrorists acquire an existing nuclear weapon rather than developing one like an enemy nation. Even then, the delivery system would prove extremely challenging.
To prepare for the unlikely event of a nuclear attack, proximity to terrorist and enemy nation targets should affect your planning the most. The targets a terrorist cell may target include but are not limited to large, live events such as ballparks, festivals, parades, and malls. Terrorists may also target military targets similarly to enemy nations. Prevalent winds should be considered since high yield nuclear weapons can have fallout land hundreds of miles downwind. Leaving a fallout area is preferred. Sheltering in place for a nuclear blast or fallout may also be necessary if you are in close proximity.
Image: Primary targets for Soviet nuclear missile strikes in the 1980s. The dark zones indicate lethal doses of fallout, whereas the yellow is mostly untouched. Obviously, targets have probably changed since then but this gives you an idea of what an enemy nuclear strike may target.

Hei, today i have a new polish from Korea i got this from my friend and i really want to picked other color but he limited 1 nail polish per person, so i decided to get this one. as usual Korean Nail polish doesn't have any name on it, they only have a code name.
PS: im change my style of taking picture and soon i'll change my blog name, i'll remove the ByShella, so it'll shorter and easy to remember.
Innisfree 101 has a fine micro blue/aqua and gold and it has a medium size of blue glitter/ dazzling. this was opaque in two coats, and easy to apply and spread the big dazzling. i was so surprise by this nail polish because it was glitter and i only need 2 coats! also the drying time was good! because it this is a glitter base polish it does has a rough surface when it dry, but a thick coat is enough to make this smooth and shiny!
some how this is reminds me of the Deborah Lippman Mermaid Dreams, i don't know is it the dupe or not because i don't have the DBL one, but it look identical from the swatch i saw around the nail blogger.
so far i love this polish, it look so beautiful and has a good quality. also it's cheap.

Every movements of Vincent on the scene is captured and processed by the system Jean-François programmed, it draws on the screen a living picture generated by Vincent's body expressions.
This is another example of how natural can look the result of hard works done by creators, here's a video about Human Brush during the Festival of Carthage event :

The Truth About Grade Inflation
February 3, 2003
Although recent exposes about grade inflation have received lots of coverage lately, the issue is not new. A recent report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences notes that there have been concerns about the problem since at least the mid-1970s.
The roots lie in the vast expansion of college enrollment in the 1960s, as the postwar Baby Boom generation came of age. As the Baby Boomers moved through the universities a number of factors contributed to grade inflation.
- A key one was the Vietnam War, which encouraged professors to go easy on their male students, lest they lose their student deferment and be drafted into the army.
- At the same time, education philosophy was changing, causing universities to drop many required courses in areas such as mathematics, science and languages.
- Reinforcing the inflationary trend in grading was the growth of student evaluations in promotion and tenure decisions for professors.
- Obviously, students tend to give good reviews to those that are easy graders, and as graduate school became the norm for increasing numbers of college students, there was more of a premium on good grades.
In this sense, credential inflation -- requiring more and more education to do the same job -- has contributed to grade inflation. (See Figure)
Unfortunately, grade inflation is not costless.
- One consequence is that students are discouraged from taking science courses, where the nature of the subject matter has held down grade inflation, in favor of those in the humanities, where it is rampant.
- Over time, this has caused universities to drain resources from science programs.
- Eventually, fewer scientists and less science education will harm economic growth by reducing technological innovation and advancement.

Tallinn Fashion Week Returns With Youth and Experience on Show ({{commentsTotal}})
One of the most important events for up-and-coming and established creative talent in Estonia, Tallinn Fashion Week, begins tonight in Kalamaja's Salme Culture Center.
The event will bring a chance to view the work of potential future stars in Estonian fashion design, while, in contrast to last year's lower-profile event, TFW 2014 sees a complement of well-known names take part in shows, with the winner of the ultimate prize, the Golden Needle award, announced tonight in recognition of great achievements in fashion over a five-year period.
A Silver Needle will also be awarded to a designer, for achievement over the past 12 months. The Silver Needle nominees are Vassilissa Danavir, Marit Ilison and Triinu Pungits. The Golden Needle nominees are Lilli Jahilo, Kriss Soonik and Kristina Viirpalu.
The probable highlight of the elongated four-day schedule is the return of designer Ivo Nikkolo to Tallinn Fashion Week. Nikkolo has been at the vanguard of Estonian fashion design since founding his company in 1994. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his label, Nikkolo will be displaying creations from his forthcoming collections, taking part in the event for the first time in many years. Press officer Lenno Vaitovski reflected the positive spirit of the event organizers, saying, "of course we're excited - I think the whole of Estonia is excited, he's one of the best-known names in Estonian fashion, and it's great to have him here."
In spite of its name, Tallinn Fashion Week has historically had a three-day program. Due to an increased number of shows, there will be one extra day of shows this time around. "We simply couldn't accommodate the schedule in three days; you've seen our program is full," Vaitovski explained.
On the fourth day, Sunday, the circus will decamp from Salme to Tallinn's Seaplane Harbor, known as Lennusadam in Estonian. Vaitovski was positive about the possibilities offered by the vast hangar making up the museum. "It didn't present complications, but rather opportunities, as it gave us a chance to accommodate more people than would be the case in Salme, because Lennusadam is a larger space."
Making her debut at Fashion Week is up-and-coming local designer Aulikki Puniste, who was in the middle of rehearsals for her event-opening show tonight, when ERR News spoke to her. "I have some models that are in masks," Puniste explained, "and there were some technical problems with the masks, so I hope it will be okay."
Puniste explained the concept behind using masks in her show. "It's about people wearing a kind of mask in everyday life - at home you are friendly, but at work you put on the other mask. The point is to take off the mask and be you - be honest, don't be some kind of different person, because in everyday life there is a lot of hypocrisy, and I hate hypocrites."
The collection, which the designer said was entirely in black and white, will be modeled by her friends and customers, including Estonian pop singer Helen Adamson. For Puniste, her first appearance at Tallinn Fashion Week is the latest step in eight years as a fashion designer, which began with an appearance in the final round of predecessor fashion event Supernova. Asked why she had chosen 2014 as the time to take part in TFW, Puniste said she had not felt ready before now, "I'm still learning and everything has to be at the right time." Designers from all over Estonia will hope that this weekend represents their time to shine.

text: Hi there, My name is Barclay and I bought an HTC Tattoo (unlocked) back in February 2010 which I love. However, I want to get the 2.0 or 2.1 Android software added which ever it is. I have had no real problems with the functions and features of the phone here in the USA on the T-Mobile Network. The Bluetooth works great in all the cars I have been in that have Bluetooth sync and the Navigation with Google Maps works well even when a call comes in over the bluetooth and the instructions are heard over the speakers druing the call. HTC Sync could do with not being so heavy in software to run as I have experienced severe slow downs on my Netbook which has virtually no background programs running on it and with loads of memory. Also would be nice to know how to backup all the data that is stored in the HTC loaded and developed programs like Contacts, without having to send it all to google or microsoft exchange. Looking forward to this forum and all that it can advise.

My 5-year-old announced boldly this evening: "I know alot about life."
Me: "You do?"
5-year-old: "Yes I do"
Me: "What do you know about life?"
5-year-old: "I know that when ever you are doing something bad, you should stop…And you should love Jesus…And God"
And with that answer, I was convinced that my little boy knows more about life than I do. And he probably knows more about life than most everyone. Because when you get right down to it many people continue to do things they shouldn't. We continue in behaviors we know are ineffective or unhealthy or just plain stupid. How many times have you promised yourself that you would not yell at your children when they irritate you? How many times have you committed to sticking to a budget? How many times have you determined in your heart that you would stop smoking, or drinking so much, or having the same old argument with your spouse or your parents. Yet…when we do something "bad", we don't stop!
The answer here is simple to talk about, but incredibly difficult to execute on. The idea is to become intentional about your life, rather than reactive to your situation or your environment. The psychological research tells us that when we are reactive to situations, we have a very difficult time modifying our behavior. Basically, when we move away from a particular behavior by repeating a mantra like "I am never going to get irritated and raise my voice to my spouse again", we usually fail miserably. But when we move toward new behaviors by determining how we will respond to a particular stressor in an intentional way, we tend to actually change. "My goal is to speak respectfully when I get irritated with my spouse and to state my point of view in an assertive rather than an aggressive manner." You see, in the second example you are being intentional in your goal and you are actually being proactive. You are moving toward something. Now don't get me wrong, goals are hard to establish and even harder to follow through on. If you want to create a good goal to work toward, start by writing it down. The research also indicates that writing you goal down will make it more real to you and will facilitate follow through. It also helps to create mini-goals that will help you slowly shape your behavior toward the ultimate prize of achieving real and lasting change.
Of everything I could choose to say about my little boy's philosophy of life, the most important concept is clear: LOVE IS ESSENTIAL! If you want to change something in your life, look at your motivations. What is your life all about? Are you busy taking care of #1? If so, you will not only be miserable (the surest way to be unhappy is to try really really hard to make yourself happy), but you will surely repeat the same old self-serving ineffective patterns. So when you are writing down your new goals for your life that you plan to move toward, make sure you make your main goal to love God and to love people. Maybe then you will be able to stop the madness and stress of your life. Maybe then you will be able to finally quit being consumed by jealousy or stop yelling at your kids. Maybe then you will actually stop those old behaviors and engage true, lasting change.
The latest research has identified several different kinds of thoughts that typically lead to stress. I call these "Hot Thoughts," meaning they will usually lead to a significant experience of stress. I've included a summary of some of these thoughts so you can identify any that are at work in your life.
- All-or-Nothing Thoughts. Individuals with these hot thoughts tend to see things in absolute black-and-white categories. Example: "Either I am perfectly competent in everything I do, or I am a failure."
- Overgeneralization. People with these thoughts assume bad events will happen over and over, or that things are always a certain way. Example: "The neighborhood dogs will always choose to relieve themselves on my lawn."
- Mental Filter. This type of hot thought causes a person to focus on the negative parts of life and filter out the positive. Example: "My job is awful because I don't get paid enough." (But you will overlook the fact that he has good work conditions, hours, etc.)
- Magnification and Globalization. People with these hot thoughts magnify their mistakes and make them a big deal. Example: "I'm terrible with the kids becasue I just yelled at them."
- Personalization. These hot thoughts lead a person to accept blame for negative events involving others. Example: "My family would be well adjusted if it weren't for me."
If you are really ready to calm yourself down and defeat the power of stress in your life, your job is to confront these Hot Thoughts directly. Start by taking an inventory of your thoughts when ever you start to feel stressed out. My guess is you will see those Hot Thoughts surface almost every time! Then begin to label the stress inducing thought like this, "That is just a globalization" or "I'm just overgeneralizing again". You will be amazed at how quickly this strategy will help you stress less!
(P.S. This is an excerpt from my latest book, "Stress Relief for Life," which you can find at bookstores everywhere or at http://www.amazon.com/Stress-Relief-Life-Practical–stressing/dp/1616383577/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315351344&sr=8-1)
One of the things I have learned working with people in the clinical office is that connection with a supportive community of people is a key component to growth. The following article captures the power of relationships pretty well. Check it out…
Want to have a little fun with your friends? Ask married couples to respond to the following question: "What is the most essential component of a happy healthy marriage?" Chances are, at least 75% will respond by saying something like, "Marriage will only work if you have good communication". It seems that everyone is convinced that communication is the foundation of a good relationships, but few actually know how to communicate in an effective manner. My time in the clinical office working with couples has confirmed that a person's ability to communicate well is rooted in their ability to truly listen to their partner. The less a couple listens to each other, the less connected they are. The more a couple listens to each other, the more emotionally intimate they become. Check out this TED talk video in which Julian Treasure gives very practical advice on how you can develop better listening skills.

text: My favourite games are Assassins Creed, Tombraider & Prince of Persia I have been trying to download Altair's Chronicles from gameloft to play on my tab over xmas when I'll be away...... but no luck on either Tablet or PC. ........I'm not even sure if this game will work on the Tab anyone out there got a reliable download link....? Just got my tablet but little disappointed to discover no TR games available for this device? Most of the HD games I've seen for the tab don't really appeal. Are iphone games compatible with it? I was also wondering if standalone custom levels created with the Tombraider Chronicles level editor could be playable on the tablet? - using an adaptable console controller to play (which I use for PC games sometimes), connected to the tab's data port....The tab's port has a very thin slot tho' - is there some kind of adaptor to accomodate the thicker type plug - like what most memory sticks & console controls have? (Alternatively the keyboard dock accessory for the tab works only in portrait view). Please comment on any of the above

Remember a couple of years ago there was talk that FOX was going to have a Punisher TV Series? The plot was about a rising star detective with the New York Police Department who moonlights as a vigilante hero dubbed The Punisher in order to obtain justice for those the system has failed.
If memory serves me correctly, fans weren't happy (are they ever?) with this potential idea as it was going to tone down the violence of the character and remove the idea that he was a Vietnam Vet which seemed like a complete waste of time. Obviously they could change it so he could have fought in Iraq or something more modern like that but it was being compared to shows like Dexter and rapidly disappeared from schedules.
On IMDB it says the show is still meant to be on this year at some point but there hasn't been any recent word or casting announcements.
Personally I would ditch the idea and give it to Netflix, like they're doing with Daredevil. Give us the Frank Castle we've always wanted and don't worry about toning the character down for the kiddies. He's a Hard R character so let's keep it that way.
I also want to bring back Thomas Jane as he was my favourite incarnation of Castle. Sure the film had its flaws but he wasn't one of them; his short film Dirty Laundry had just the right amount of grit and violence to make for an intense and exciting Punisher.
The fact that Jane wanted to make the short film demonstrated his dedication and love for the character and that he still wants to do The Punisher justice really makes him the perfect choice.
It's interesting that with Marvel's upcoming slate there appear to be no plans for a Punisher movie any time in the near future so I say give Frank the Netflix treatment and give us The Punisher we've been waiting for.

Discussion in 'TFI Classifieds' started by nishweth, Oct 6, 2013.
Hai I want the 16 inch alloys of fiat linea. Please mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
I am pretty sure, no one will sell 16 in Tjet alloy from his/her linea here. Please check with Kawa auto in Mumbai or directly in Fiat dealership. Now Fiat reduced price of alloys, please check you may get good deal.
At Kava it is available for Rs. 5500 per alloy. Not sure if it is brand new as I heard that Kava retails used/refurbished/alloys from accident cars.
This is the old price isn't it?
Called Kava today.. it is still the same price 5.5k per alloy.. They are not aware of the recent discounted price from Fiat.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co shuffled several retail banking executives, signaling Chief Executive Jamie Dimon's determination to rebuild the bank's profits and elevate in-house talent to high-profile roles.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the bank said retail banking chief Charlie Scharf was moving to the company's private equity arm and that other senior executives were taking on additional responsibilities in his former division.
Todd Maclin, 55, chief executive of JPMorgan's commercial bank, will continue in that position and also have responsibilities for the company's branch network, consumer franchise, small-business banking and private banking business, according to the statement.
Gordon Smith, 52, CEO of card services, will take on responsibility for the company's auto finance and student lending business, on top of his current role.
Dimon, 55, talking to Reuters in an interview after the announcement, said the changes should contribute to his push to raise the bank's profits. "This should help us," he said.
"Sometimes it is good to have a fresh pair of eyes looking at things," Dimon added.
Dimon said Scharf, 46, had told him a year ago that he wanted to do something different at the bank. "It was his decision to go, and when that happens I have to figure out who is going to do his job. It takes a while to get all of the ducks in a row."
The businesses that Scharf was responsible for will now be overseen by Maclin, Smith, and Frank Bisignano, Dimon's chief administrative officer whom he assigned in February to fix the retail bank's mortgage business.
In a memo to staff, Dimon said Scharf "will continue to work with our consumer team to help transition the business and assist in any way possible."
The shifts come as JPMorgan tries to strengthen its retail banking arm, which is being hurt by low demand for loans and hit by growing regulatory demands that will squeeze profits.
The retail financial services segment fell the furthest short of its profit goals of any JPM segment in 2010, with a return on equity of 9 percent compared with a target of 30 percent, according to a report by analyst Christopher Mutascio of brokerage Stifel Nicolaus.
The bank also said its investment banking head, Jes Staley, will assume oversight of its business outside of the United States, taking over from Heidi Miller, 58, who will retire early next year.
Dimon said the moves were not an explicit part of the company's preparations for his eventual successor, but he added: "It is always good to cross-train people."
The bank said in a separate memo to staff on Tuesday that its chief of home lending, David Lowman, would be leaving. He had been pushed aside in February after the bank racked up billions of dollars in losses on mortgages and became mired in litigation over foreclosures.
"Dave Lowman and I have decided he will leave the firm," Bisignano said in the memo.
Lowman joined JPMorgan from Citigroup in 2006. During his tenure at JPMorgan, the bank picked up bad mortgage assets through its acquisitions of investment bank Bear Stearns & Co and retail bank Washington Mutual.
Under Lowman, the home lending unit was so disorganized that the bank seized homes of at least 33 U.S. military servicemen on active duty, violating federal law and prompting Dimon to apologize at the company's annual shareholder meeting. The bank has said it is forgiving those loans.
Lowman could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday.
Lowman appeared before congressional committees last year where he was chastised for his division's refusal to cooperate with borrowers and modify mortgages. Lowman said in a June 2010 hearing that the bank was understaffed but was adding employees to work on problem mortgages. In a hearing in November, Lowman acknowledged mistakes in foreclosure paperwork and said the bank was cleaning up errors.
JPMorgan and other large banks are in negotiations with the Department of Justice and state attorneys general to settle probes into mistakes in foreclosures.
The bank recorded $1.1 billion in litigation expenses in the first quarter, primarily because of mortgage-related claims. It also marked down the value of its mortgage-servicing contracts by $1.1 billion because of increased costs and booked $1.1 billion of expenses for losses on its residential real estate portfolio.

Bookings for 33 week course starting January 2018 now open. This small class will fill up quickly.
This course is ideal for those who wish to learn all of the practical skills associated with becoming a professional upholsterer, but do not wish to commit to the academic side of an accreditation. Our focus will be on developing top quality practical results, so that learners can learn the exacting standards required by professionals.
The course will cover the basics of both traditional and modern processes as required by all professional upholsterers. This reflects the techniques used within the furniture industry but will also allow for an individual's creative desire to push the conventional boundaries. As one of our tutors sometimes says, 'Craftspeople use this technique until someone comes up with a better way'.
Our courses are taught from our newly equipped studio close to Southwark and Borough tube, within walking distance of Waterloo and London Bridge. We keep our classes small so that a maximum of 8 students will ensure you benefit from close personal attention during your course.
During your 33 week course you will first learn, then put into practice, the key and advanced processes needed to achieve a skilled level of upholstery. Whatever your current level of experience, age or intentions for the future, we have the necessary knowledge and passion for our craft to see you succeed.
Key processes that will be taught throughout the course will include:
In addition to covering these basic upholstery techniques, we are able to offer experience in constructing classic wood upholstery workshop trestles to support your work safely. These are yours to take home and use for your own upholstery projects.
Health and safety procedures, good practice use of all hand tools and machines is taught throughout. Business acumen in costing materials, pricing work, invoicing and basic online book-keeping will also be covered.
Practical projects that will be completed during your course:
** Fibre/hair/hessian/linen stitching
Learners will spend a total of 198 hours of learning time during the course. Attendance is recorded and this can be used to verify your time here. We will issue a certificate of completion at the end of the course and will be happy to write references for job applications or for placements onto advanced accredited courses.
Learners will have full access to our well equipped upholstery workshop and the majority of the teaching will be by practical experience on your own projects (listed above).
There will be set exercises to be completed and tutors will help learners evaluate their own work in private and group tutorials throughout the course. Any additional projects the learner takes on will be encouraged. Feedback will be given throughout the course.
Fundamental knowledge will be explained in interactive lectures in the workshop using practical examples where possible. Different basic topics will be explored and learners are encouraged to develop their own creativity and confidence as they progress.
Tutors will encourage, support and arrange informal external visits to museum collections and manufacturing businesses.
Help in creating mood boards and presentation boards will be at hand. You will also be encouraged to develop your design thinking by creating an online Pinterest portfolio
Opportunities to improve drawing skills will occur as we offer technical drawing days throughout the year.
We encourage learners to develop a comprehensive and referenceable folder of notes as a valuable and visible aid to learning, as well as an ongoing portfolio of your own projects.
This course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those who have some previous experience. As much of the learning is transferred verbally, a good knowledge of English is required. We do not have minimum academic qualification requirements.
Learners will be encouraged to attain professional standards in their upholstery and soft furnishing projects, as well as acquiring a background knowledge in a broad range of basic techniques. Final projects can be used to show a high standard if a learner has a desire to continue to onto an accredited higher level.
Students will be encouraged to work independently as they would have to in industry.
In addition to our the core upholstery course, learners have the opportunity to round-off their knowledge by attending other related workshops at a substantial discount.
These workshops run regularly, in the evenings and at weekends, and can be taken at any time during your upholstery course or up to a year afterwards for the same rate.
These complementary workshops will improve your skill levels and abilities in hand-made trims, woodcarving, gilding and basic woodwork, providing you with a very comprehensive grounding in all levels of upholstery and furniture restoration.
All basic materials for the projects are included in the cost of the course. Additional materials used on learner's own chairs will be charged at nominal prices. Legs for the projects can be purchased at cost price.
January 30th, February 6/13/20/27, March 6/13/20/27, (Easter 3/10th April-no class) April 17/24 May 1/8/15/22 , June 5/12/19/26th , July 3/10, (Summer Holidays – no classes) September 11/18/25, October 2/9/16/30, (Half Term 23rd October-no class), November 6/13/20/27, December 4th December

Did Labour MP make sly dig at suspended Jeremy Clarkson during PMQs after Twitter spat?
A LABOUR MP previously embroiled in a Twitter row with Jeremy Clarkson appears to have taken a sly dig at the suspended Top Gear presenter in the House of Commons today.
Labour MP Michael Dugher appeared to be wearing a salmon pink tie in PMQs today
Labour's shadow transport minister Michael Dugher provoked the Top Gear presenter's ire earlier this year by describing him as "basically an idiot" who was "not remotely representative of motorists".
At the time, Mr Clarkson responded on Twitter by posting: "Labour's transport spokesman says he doesn't like Top Gear. Good. We don't make it for people who wear pink ties."
Mr Dugher, 39, then replied: "Obviously I wear red ties a lot. But what's wrong with the occasional pink one?! What on earth might someone be implying...?"
Today in Parliament, Mr Dugher once again appeared to be wearing a pink tie, with some suggesting it may have been a nod to Mr Clarkson's recent troubles.
The 54-year-old was last night suspended by the BBC "following a fracas with a producer" - believed to be a bust-up with Top Gear crew member Oisin Tymon.
Jeremy Clarkson and Michael Dugher became embroiled in a Twitter spat last month
Several eagle-eyed Twitter users spotted Mr Dugher's sartorial choice during Prime Minister's Questions, as David Cameron clashed with Ed Miliband.
One described it as an "apparent dig" at Mr Clarkson, while another posted: 'Is @JeremyClarkson watching?'
Daily Express political correspondent Martyn Brown added: ""I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson will using his free time today to see @MichaelDugher wearing his salmon pink tie in #PMQs"
Mr Dugher, the MP for Barnsley East, previously said he did not watch the hit BBC show, but described Top Gear's presenters as "a bunch of old blokes wearing jeans and sports jackets".
This Sunday's episode of Top Gear has been cancelled pending a BBC investigation into the incident between Mr Clarkson and a producer.
Clarkson leaves his home earlier today
The presenter allegedly aimed a punch at a male producer last week, with the incident believed to have been reported to the corporation yesterday, the Radio Times has reported.
Nearly half-a-million Top Gear fans have since signed a petition to demand Mr Clarkson's return.
