Wayne State to host Sonny Eliot memorial on Dec. 6
Wayne State University to host memorial service for late Detroit broadcaster Sonny Eliot
DETROIT (AP) — Wayne State University has announced it will host a memorial service next week for the late broadcaster Sonny Eliot.
The well-known media personality and longtime broadcaster on WWJ radio died Nov. 16 at age 91.
In his honor, Wayne State announced Thursday that it is putting on an event Dec. 6 called "Always Sonny!" at the Community Arts Auditorium.
A dozen friends and colleagues are scheduled to speak at the celebration, including local football broadcaster Jim Brandstatter and Detroit Zoo executive director and CEO Ron Kagan.
Eliot hosted movies on local TV and voiced countless commercials. But his longest-lasting gig was as a weathercaster, a job he held for well into the 21st century.

The News - Featured News
BY LIZA STROUT - Ladies and gentlemen of Boca Grande, it is time to roll up your sleeves for a good cause. Take an hour out of your day to visit the Big Red Bus when it stops at the United Methodist Church of Boca Grande on Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This is the first general blood drive on the island in years. It all came about because island resident Jane Caple saw the Big Red Bus in Tiffany Square and stopped to get information. "I learned that 60% of people are eligible to donate blood, but only six percent actually do," she reported.
The ladies who volunteer at Boca Bargains, the island's hottest thrift store and boutique, are looking at some pretty bare shelves right now. Season is in full shopping swing and they need your help.
It has been a record year and what were once-plentiful stores of goods are becoming sparser and sparser. The ladies of the Boca Grande Woman's Club are requesting assistance in producing more clothes, accessories, furniture and housewares to stock the shop through the rest of season.
Donations are accepted from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays. If you are delivering a large donation, please call Jan at 964-0562 or JoAnn at 964-2309.
The Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority will hold a public information meeting on the fixed bridges on Tuesday, Feb. 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the hall of the Boca Grande United Methodist Church. This will be a status update. The contractor and engineer will be avilable to answer questions.
The Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce is calling all pirates and lasses for their 2012 "X Marks the Spot" Ladies Day Tarpon Tournament. The artwork for the tournament has been released, and the featured artist is Brendan Coudal. This is Brendan's fourth time to be selected as the official Ladies Day Tournament artist, and he may need some help from the public this year with his as yet unnamed "Pirate Girl" painting. But more about that later …

Health Insurance 101
For most, healthcare goes hand-in-hand with health insurance. Employer-based health insurance has a prominent place in the American healthcare system.
Health insurance, however, is not understood well for as widespread as it is. To be sure, health insurance is extremely complex, with many different types of coverage available, and even similar health plans have nuances which make them difficult to compare. Combine that with the frequency at which Americans change jobs, and therefore change health plans, and the result is many patients who don't understand how their coverage works as well as they should.
Whether you are a sophisticated patient looking for a piece of information or two, or a novice who wants to take control of your health coverage, this section will help you make sense of managed care, PPO, or individual insurance policies and all of the nuance that comes with them.

[The Basics] The Basics
April 30th, 2012
by Jodi · Filed Under: General Health · Nutrition
It's been one of those months again. You know…when I go to a million different places and have a million different conversations with a million different people. How's that for exaggerating? I am serious, though. I feel like I've spent the whole month talking which is kind of funny because I am one serious introvert. I know—it's hard for you to believe–but I am. If you leave me to my own devices, I'll stay in my office all day long alone with the ringer off on my phone. That is pure heaven to me. But I didn't stay in my office; instead I was out and about being pegged with a bunch of questions I feel are more on the review side but worth a quick mention again:
Do I need a multi vitamin?
Yes! And get a good one, too. Good does not mean expensive. My favorite? GNC Ultra Mega for Women original. They got all crazy and started coming out with ridiculous variations such as one for dog walkers, those who use hair gel and for anyone who still watches Survivor. Honestly, you don't need all that. Plus the amounts that they add for things like that are so small it's not worth it.
Do I need to take __________?
Most likely no. This conversation usually starts off with all the things you need to take/buy and then ends a little later on with you telling me that you don't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. Let me say this for the record: unless you are in a MAJOR endurance event , cutting for a MAJOR event or just won the lottery save your money. There are only 4 things I advise people to take long term: multi, BCAA's, fish oil and magnesium. Anything else is a specialty item that is being taken for a specific reason.
I hate swallowing pills.
Really? Because I know of at least 10 people who've told me how much they love it and wish that their food came that way, too. Ok, done with the sarcasm but this really is a non issue nowadays. You can get just about anything as a tincture/liquid or a chewable online or in a vitamin store so knock yourself out finding what you need.
What's a good brand?
Who the heck knows! Seriously! They change vitamin brands by the hour. I have been in stores standing in front of a display and someone has come over and relabeled the vitamins while I stood there. Ok, that's a lie but I have been pumping gas before while the price was going up. You get my point, though. So here are some general tips that I'm sure if you try hard enough you can find the exception to the rule so please bear with me: go national (Nature's Way) but not commercial (One A Day). Do not buy the 50 pound container of vitamins at Costco or BJ's. Go middle of the road for price. Too expensive is usually over the top (USANA or Nutralife—the Coach brand of vitamins) and too cheap is just that (Walgreen's version). Don't read the label like you know what you're doing, you have not a clue what you're looking at. Admit it. Go for sustained release if you can find it and last but not least, if you can get pregnancy vitamins do it because they are typically of great quality.
Do you recommend any fat burners?
WHAT? Put the crack pipe down girl! No! Listen, I spent a very long time at a weight that I wished to holy heck I was never at and STILL didn't take a fat burner then. THAT alone should tell you how I feel about them! Put the bottle down and run.
What should I take post workout?
This will be a series. Hang tight for this.
There's more. Today was all the supplement questions. I had others and I'll post those tomorrow. It's been a busy month. If you have any questions I don't answer over the next few days, hit me up via email and I'll see what I can do. Woop woop!

There's still time for Whyteleafe to over-turn 3-2 League Cup deficit
10:59am Monday 28th October 2013 in Sport
By Chris Layton
Whyteleafe went down by the narrowest of margins at Phoenix Sports but still have it all to play for in the second leg of this League Cup affair.
Leafe twice came from behind but the ambitious home side managed to snatch a narrow 3-2 lead ahead of the trip to Church Road this weekend.
Leafe manager John Fowler was missing three strong midfielders in Jason Thompson, Jensen Grant and Bentley Graham, and will be hoping to see the return of at least one or two of them in time for the next match.
The opening goal came for the Phoenix Sports on 18 minutes, via a fierce strike from the Southern Counties League top scorer Ricky Freeman.
Whyteleafe tried to get back on level terms for the remainder of the half but had to be satisfied with a one goal deficit at half time.
Shortly after the break however, Roscoe Dsane found himself in space outside of the box – he took a quick touch of the ball before firing a ferocious shot on goal, which left Phoenix keeper Dean Nash no chance.
The joy was short-lived however, as just three minutes later Freeman was on hand to finish off a good passing moving in front of Sheikh Ceesay's goal and the home side were back in front.
But Leafe still had goals in them and equalised a second time, this time with a little bit of luck, on 68 minutes.
Sam Clayton's speculative shot from the edge of the box to the far post should have been dealt with by Nash, but the ball rebounded unkindly for the keeper, off the back of defender Chris Hill and over the line with the Phoenix keeper stranded.
Phoenix were determined to finish the leg at least one goal to the good and Miles Dorset again made Leafe pay when 15 minutes from time he managed to squeeze in a third for the home side.
But as Phoenix Sports chairman Andrew Mortlock conceded, there are an awful lot more goals left in this tie.
Whyteleafe: Ceesay, Tommy Smith (Williams), Penfold (Johnson), Abraham, Leacock, Broomhead, Fowler, Thornton (Pratt), Dsane, Clayton, Taylor Smith.

This is a trail race for those who like to run both on and off trails. The course went through the woods, across streams and along rock walls. This is not a PR course but I had a great time. The organizers put on a great event and the post-race spread was amazing. You received a pint glass at the finish line and could fill it from the kegs just a few feet away. Definitely going back year after year.

Apple`s iPhone and Samsung`s Galaxy series is set to heat up further with a top official associated with the company that assembles the iPhone saying that Apple`s next offering, iPhone 5, will put Samsung GalaxyS III to shame. "Consumers should wait for the iPhone 5 because it will put the Samsung Galaxy S III to shame," a report published in Focus Taiwan quoted Foxconn CEO Terry Gou as saying in China Times.

In the final rankings Hirvonen is second, 11.2s behind Sebastien Loeb's Citroen DS3 WRC. Petter Solberg completes the podium, a further 12.6s in arrears.
11:48 Loeb wins the 2011 Rally d'Italia Sardegna
Sebastien Loeb consolidates his position at the head of the championship with a tremendous win in Sardinia, and he gains a bonus point for finishing third on the Power Stage with 6m18.0: "It was an incredible weekend for us. We've been cleaning the roads all weekend so it's been a great surprise. The car was perfect and it enabled us to do a great job. There was no time to relax because Mikko was pushing so hard behind us."
11:45 Hirvonen fastest in SS18
6m15.2s is now the time to beat, set by Ford's Mikko Hirvonen.
11:43 Ogier fourth in Sardinia
6m18.3s for Citroen Total WRT's Sebastien Ogier in the Power Stage; second quickest so far but perhaps not enough. He ends the Rally d'Italia Sardegna in fourth place overall having been a contender for the podium until SS17, when he suffered a suspension breakage after hitting a rock.
11:41 Solberg completes Power Stage
Petter Solberg finishes in 6m22.0s, 5.4s off Latvala's time.
11:38 Ostberg seals fifth place in Sardinia
Mads Ostberg finishes SS18 with a time of 6m26.2 and wraps up fifth place overall, ahead of Sordo by 45s: "I'm quite happy with what we've done. We had a couple of problems that stopped us fighting with the people in front - we were close but not close enough. I'm really happy to finish in fifth place and looking forward to taking the next step."
11:36 Sordo takes new Mini's first WRC finish
Dani Sordo clocks in with 6m30.2s and pays tribute to the team, who will return to the fray in Finland: "I'm really happy with the way the rally has gone. No big problems, just a couple of small issues, and we're going to work hard before the next rally. The car has a lot of potential and we're going to be in a position to fight for victories."
11:33 Wilson through to the finish
Matthew Wilson finishes with a 6m33.8s, 17.2s off Latvala: "We're just happy to get through. We've had problems with this one from the word go, brake problems on Friday and then we just haven't had the feeling."
11:28 Latvala fastest so far in SS18
Jari-Matti Latvala is the new man to beat, crossing the line in 6m16.6s - faster than Andersson by 12.1s: "It was quite a good run. There were a couple of places where it was a bit slippery at the beginning, by the end I was able to push hard. I nearly went off after the finish!"
11:26 Al Qassimi makes it to the finish
6m44.4s for Khalid Al Qassimi, who lies 12th overall: "The most important thing is to keep the car going, and when you make mistakes to find out why and then to improve the car. Every event is a different surface and a different challenge also."
11:22 Novikov through SS18
Evgeny Novikov completes the Power Stage 2.5s off Andersson's time: "I was just trying to get to the finish because we're on Superally. The car's working well and next time I want to be in the top five or top six."
11:20 Tanak finishes top SWRC
Ott Tanak stops the clock at 6m47.0s and takes 25 points for winning the SWRC: "It's been a very good weekend. For sure it was a difficult rally."
11:16 Andersson completes Rally d'Italia Sardegna
Per-Gunnar Andersson sets a target time of 6m28.8s: "Unfortunately on this section I found it difficult to get into the rhythm and I made a little mistake. I slid wide and hit a barrier on the Tarmac section at the beginning."
11:01 Andersson to run first on the road in Power Stage
Per-Gunnar Andersson will run first on the road through the Power Stage, which will surely come as a blow to his aim of setting the fastest time.
10:53 Stage Begin - SS18 Gallura 2 (8.24km)
A thrilling final stage is getting underway near Olbia, with Citroen Total's Sebastien Loeb now 14s ahead of Mikko Hirvonen following an adjustment to the Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team driver's times. Citroen privateer Petter Solberg is 5.8s behind Hirvonen overall, so while Loeb is nearly out of touch the other podium positions remain very much open. The Power Stage, which is televised live, also offers extra championship points to the three quickest drivers through the stage; Jari-Matti Latvala, out of overall contention after his mishap on day one, has won two out of three stages so far today and is determined to claim those points.
08:54 Thrilling Power Stage battle in prospect
Citroen Total World Rally Team's Sebastien Loeb looks to have done enough to secure victory on the Rally d'Italia Sardegna, carrying an overall lead of 18.5s into the final stage of the day. The other podium positions will be hotly disputed by Ford's Mikko Hirvonen and Citroen privateer Petter Solberg, but with extra championship points available for the fastest three drivers on the live televised Power Stage we can also expect Jari-Matti Latvala and Per-Gunnar Andersson to shine. The Power Stage is live at 12.00 CET.
08:52 Hanninen completes SS17
Juho Hanninen crosses the line in 18m12.1s, 0.5s quicker than SWRC rival Ott Tanak, which leaves him 35.1s behind Tanak overall: "It's quite a big gap, and too slippery out there to take a big risk. Maybe it's best to settle for second and try again on the next rally. But that's not what we came to do."
08:36 Tanak counter-attacks in SS17
SWRC leader Ott Tanak completes SS17 in 18m12.6s after losing 20s to rival Juho Hanninen on SS16: "The first stage today was good but then maybe I gave too much time to Hanninen. Let's see his time now."
08:34 Andersson goes second quickest in SS17
Per-Gunnar Andersson sets another impressive time, 0.2s quicker than Jari-Matti Latvala with 17m32.3s: "The first stage this morning was okay, the second stage I was dragging a right rear puncture all the way through. I'm really happy that we've come back as strong as we did."
08:32 Kuipers out before SS17
Dennis Kuipers has failed to start SS17: "I thought we had a broken driveshaft but I checked and it's okay. The problem is with the gearbox."
08:28 Novikov through SS17
18m11.8s for Evgeny Novikov: "The car is too sideways. Maybe there's something wrong with the diff. Day three is totally not so good for us."
08:21 Al Qassimi finishes SS17
Khalid Al Qassimi crosses the line in 18m44.0s and reports a difficult morning: "It's very tough. The first stage was okay, on the second stage I overshot a corner and lost time, then I came up behind Dennis [Kuipers], who was going slowly. This stage was quite slippery."
08:19 Latvala second quickest in SS17
Even the flying Jari-Matti Latvala can't beat Petter Solberg's time, stopping the clock at 17m32.5s - 6.1s off Solberg's benchmark: "I was taking it a little bit more carefully this time so the time was quite okay. There were a lot of rocks at the side of the road, and it was very slippery so I didn't want to go too sideways and hit them."
08:18 Wilson finishes SS17
Matthew Wilson completes SS17 in 18m22.8s, stymied by the damage incured on the previous stage: "We'd bent the rear so much that it was rubbing on the brake calliper. So the tracking is off, which made it a bit of a tricky stage."
08:12 Sordo through SS17
17m59.1s for Dani Sordo, now running 41s behind Ostberg in sixth overall: "We're sliding a lot in the corners. I made two or three mistakes where I went outside the line, but otherwise it was okay."
08:10 Transmission woes for Ostberg in SS17
Mads Ostberg finishes SS17 in 17m58.4s. "I've got no preload left in my rear diff," he reports.
08:08 Solberg on a charge through SS17
Petter Solberg leapfrogs Ogier and closes to within striking distance of Hirvonen with a big push on SS17. 17m26.4s is the fastest time through the stage so far, 10.3s quicker than Hirvonen's time, and Solberg is now just 1.3s behind Hirvonen in third place overall: "It was a big, big attack. Everything is possible! That was a good time. I was working really hard. We made a big difference after the first stage of the day. Also the start motor is broken."
08:02 Ogier hits rock on SS17
Disaster for Sebastien Ogier on SS17 as he finishes in 18m41.9s: "I hit a rock and we stopped because I thought I had a puncture, but it's the rear left suspension that's broken."
08:00 Hirvonen stamps claim on podium place
17m36.7s for Mikko Hirvonen in SS17, 10.5s quicker than Sebastien Loeb. This puts him 18.5s behind Loeb overall.
07:53 Loeb through SS17
Sebastien Loeb completes SS17 in 17m47.2s: "So far it's been very good. This stage was very slippery at the end."
07:46 Al Qassimi struggles through SS16
Khalid Al Qassimi completes SS16 in 19m13.7s, 1m23.0s slower than Jari-Matti Latvala's time.
07:43 Stage Begin - SS17 Terranova (24.6km)
After a short 2.56km liaison section between stages, Sebastien Loeb carries his lead of 29s into SS17. This will be a crucial stage for the other podium positions with just 11.6s separating Mikko Hirvonen, Sebastien Ogier and Petter Solberg.
07:40 Latvala fastest through SS16
Jari-Matti Latvala goes quickest of all with a time of 17m50.7s, 0.7s faster than Loeb's benchmark: "It was really slippery - wet in the recce and now drying out, so quite difficult."
07:38 Wilson hits rock in SS16
Matthew Wilson finishes SS16 in 18m41.5s: "There was a big rock pulled out in the middle of the road. We tried to avoid it but it went under the car and ever since then there's been a big vibration."
07:36 Sordo completes SS16
Dani Sordo clocks up 18m21.3s but reports his Mini isn't performing so well on the loose: "In this stage we lost a lot of traction. We need to work a little bit on this. The time is not so good but I'm okay."
07:35 Ostberg survives off-road moment in SS16
18m25.1s for Mads Ostberg: "I went off the road. The pace notes said the wrong way. We were lucky - the car doesn't feel damaged - but we lost some time."
07:32 Decisive stage for Loeb's lead
Sebastien Loeb's blistering pace in SS16 puts him firmly in charge of this rally with just two stages left to run. He moves on to SS17 with a buffer of 29.0s over Mikko Hirvonen. Sebastien Ogier is a further 7.5s behind Hirvonen and Petter Solberg is in close attendance in fourth, 4.1s behind Ogier.
07:28 Solberg completes SS16
Petter Solberg stops the clock at 17m53.0s, 1.6s off Loeb's benchmark time, bringing him to 7.5s behind Sebastien Ogier overall: "It was better. We have a good chance so we have to push on. We will see - I'm quite excited. It's not perfect compared with yesterday but I'll do my best."
07:24 Caution for Ogier in SS16
Sebastien Ogier completes SS16 in 17m56.1s, 0.4s off Hirvonen, but the splits indicate that Petter Solberg is flying along the stage: "It's what we expected. I'm quite happy with my stage but maybe he [Solberg] is taking more risks than me. I don't want to make any mistakes today."
07:21 Hirvonen slips back in SS16
Mikko Hirvonen loses 4.3s to Loeb after overshooting a bend, finishing in 17m55.7s: "One small thing went wrong at a junction - I don't know why. I lost a couple of seconds. Loeb is a little bit far ahead now so I don't know what will happen."
07:06 Loeb impressive in SS16
17m51.4s for Sebastien Loeb: "The splits were looking good compared with Mikko. I was pushing very hard - perhaps too hard at the start. I had a few moments. Sometimes the rear was a little bit in the ditch. Then at the end there was a part where the surface was cleaning a lot."
07:01 Stage Begin - SS16 Monte Olia (24.5km)
Citroen Total World Rally Team's Sebastien Loeb starts SS16 with a lead of 24.7s over the Abu Dhabi Ford of Mikko Hirvonen. Loeb's team-mate Sebastien Ogier is 7.1s behind Hirvonen, with Citroen privateer Petter Solberg a further 7.2s but struggling after an overnight damper change.
06:47 Tanak extends SWRC lead
Ott Tanak stops the clock at 6m41.3s in his Fiesta S2000, eighth quickest so far, and Skoda's Juho Hanninen responds with a 6m48.3s, 12th fastest through the stage. Nasser Al-Attiyah is just 0.3s off Hanninen's pace. Tanak therefore extends his overall SWRC lead over Hanninen to 55.6s. Al-Attiyah is 5m04.4s adrift of Tanak, who also lies seventh overall.
06:38 Oliveira completes SS15
Daniel Oliveira ends SS15 on 7m12.9s. It's been a tough Rally d'Italia Sardegna for the Brazil World Rally Team Mini driver, who has been forced out with mechanical trouble on both days so far. Yesterday a broken driveshaft caused him to limp back to service prematurely.
06:34 Andersson second quickest in SS15
Per-Gunnar Andersson continues his climb up the field after dropping out of contention on SS1 with a broken steering arm. Having climbed to 18th overall overnight, he ends SS15 in 6m31.8s, seconds quickest in the stage so far and 2.9s off Jari-Matti Latvala's benchmark time.
06:31 Novikov finishes SS15
Evgeny Novikov crosses the line in 6m40.1s in his M-Sport Stobart Ford. That's sixth quickest in the stage so far, 1.5s off rally leader Sebastien Loeb and 11.2s slower than stage leader Jari-Matti Latvala. Novikov re-entered the rally yesterday after mishearing a pace note and crashing out of day one.
06:26 First blood for Al Qassimi in battle with Kuipers
The fight for 11th place raged all through yesterday between Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team's Khalid Al-Qassimi and the Ferm Powertools Ford of Dennis Kuipers. Al Qassimi finishes SS15 in 6m52.2s, 6.4s quicker than the Dutchman's time through here, to close to 1.5s behind him overall.
06:20 Latvala quickest in SS15
Jari-Matti Latvala, who won five out of six stages yesterday, clocks in at 6m28.9s, fastest overall and 6.1s quicker than team-mate Hirvonen. Although out of contention overall after being forced to retire on day one with suspension damage, Latvala can still pick up points when this route is re-run as the Power Stage, the climax of today's action.
06:19 Wilson through SS15
Matthew Wilson completes SS15 in 6m45.0s, 1.8s off team-mate Ostberg's time.
06:11 Sordo matches Ostberg in SS15
Dani Sordo, driving the sole remaining factory Mini, sets a time of 6m43.2s. That keeps him 44.1s behind Ostberg in sixth overall. Team-mate Kris Meeke will not be restarting the rally today.
06:09 Ostberg finishes SS15
Mads Ostberg brings the leading M-Sport Stobart Ford across the line in 6m43.2s, 4.6s off Loeb's time and 8.2s slower than Hirvonen.
06:03 Damper change frustrates Solberg
Disappointment for Petter Solberg as he takes just 0.5s out of Loeb, stopping the clocks at 6m38.1s: "I changed my dampers but it's not very good. It's very bad." As the frontrunners embark on the 45km liaison to SS16, Citroen Total WRT's Sebastien Loeb leads Ford Abu Dhabi WRT's Mikko Hirvonen by 24.7s. Loeb's team-mate Sebastien Ogier is third overall, 31.8s off the lead, with fourth placed Solberg slipping back to 39s off Loeb.
06:00 Ogier through SS15
Sebastien Ogier completes SS15 0.8s off Hirvonen with a 6m35.8s: "It's not an easy stage to start. Narrow, slippery and lots of loose gravel on the road. For sure I think it's going to be close until the end."
05:57 Hirvonen 3.5s up in SS15
Mikko Hirvonen is cautiously pleased with his time of 6m35.0s, taking 3.5s out of Loeb's lead: "We'll see if it's enough. Ogier and Petter are pushing like hell behind me so we'll see what they can do."
05:54 Loeb completes SS15
Sebastien Loeb crosses the line in 6m38.6s: "I think the first part of the stage was really bad, uphill and downhill with lots of sand on the road, so it was very slippery. The last part was a bit more humid so it was better. I'll lose some time again today but probably not too much."
05:52 Stage Begin - SS15 Gallura 1 (8.24km)
Good morning and welcome to the final day of the 2011 Rally d'Italia Sardegna. It's an early start, and chilly and overcast for the first stage. Sebastien Loeb leads the way on the road and starts the day with a 28.3s lead over Mikko Hirvonen. It's a short first stage and we'll be here again for the live broadcast Power Stage later.

If this design prints, I will provide a PDF file with the little hand for those who buy the shirt, so you can make it even more fun by doing it by yourself!
If Threadless like the idea, it might be possible to use a pre-made hand zipper toggle! It would be a lot easier and rad! :)

As the title says what have they to do with each other. I mean with Christmas Jesus got born right? That didn't involved a tree, Rudolf and Santa
I didn't grow up with celebrating Christmas American style so someone please tell
erms.. Santa gives presents to kids that have stayed good
and rudolph is the reindeer with the shiny nose that leads the sleigh.
ok. i dint answer your qns at all.
LIGHTSI salute Heels Over Head. My Best Damn Artworker.
^^lol I knew that but I wanna know why that is on Christmas and not any other day of the year
Well there's a story about St Nicolas (santa) and he used to go round his village on christmas and put a silver/gold coin in the "good girls and boy's" shoes. But if you were bad you got a lump of coal. It's something like that. And it grew into the total consumerism thing it is today.
However.... about Jesus being born on december 25th... nope thats just when we celebrate it
The tree represents life in the house, a living thing. and the lights on the tree represent the light Jesus brings, and tinsel represents a spiders web that conceled Mary and Joseph when they hid or something. uhm.... the decorations... just for fun i guess.
And OH the raindeers and the way santa is now, is just a Coca Cola invention
haha.... this is probably all a load of crap, but thats what i make of it
then when did Jesus got born
thanks for clearing that up
erms. i found this. thou i think i dint help to clear ur doubts at all
To view the link you have to Register#
LIGHTSI salute Heels Over Head. My Best Damn Artworker.
No one knows when he got born, i don't think it was recorded anywhere. Apparently Christmas is picked as his birthday because after the 25th december the days start getting brighter, so it's kind of showing when he was born he brought light into the world or something haha... i have no idea how i know all this!
^^makes sense but I learn that he got born on Christmas and that 3 man following a falling star or something to his crib
^ Yeah thats the story of when he got born. With the three wise men and all of that. That might have happened, yes. But not on the 25th december. Could have happened any night
Don't you mean the three Magi
Yeah.... The wise men/ three kings/ magi same thing
Three dudes dressed a bit funny
I'm thinking about the Life Of Brian, were they take the gifts back.

A suspicious vehicle is being investigated in downtown Kansas City after police said a man walked into a government building and said he was a terrorist.
Kansas City police sent a robot to investigate the man's car Friday after a bomb-sniffing dog detected some sort of explosive in the vehicle.

Haven't heard anything on the details. Just a heads up to anyone living in the KC area.
It is a dern shame the terrorists are getting stronger as the nation becomes deeply divided.
The terrorists need a HUGE push back; not cheap talk.
A guy walks into a building and says, "I am a terrorist"? Huh?
Wonder if he is an American? or dare I say mooselimb?
so where was Obama today? j.k

A little while ago, some of you requested a dark and sinister look, so here you go! I'm drawing some inspiration from Harley Quinn, specifically the rendition in the game Batman Arkham City. Instead of sporting traditional court jester face paint, Dr. Harleen Quinzel has a bit of that "I just got punched in both eyes, but I make it look hot" look. It's almost like she's going through a Brody Dalle grunge phase. This may not be for everyone, but it's an edgy option to save in your makeup arsenal for those crazy days!
No, really. Miss Quinn is actually, undeniably, certifiably insane.

Is any relationship ever completely reciprocal? Not really, because one party always wields more power over the other. This is a human behavior dynamic that is tough to ignore, especially when we look deeper at workplace culture and team dynamics. There are leaders and followers, loved ones and lovers, employers and employees. We might like to think equality, common goals and unquestioned commitment are the norm but it simply doesn't happen. It's true in personal life and in the workplace.
I recently spent a weekend at a high school graduation where teachers glowingly described the fairly small class as a group of leaders. Although parents and kids basked in the glow of achievement and praise, it was clear that some in the group were more equal than others, more accomplished, more confident and composed. While the speeches were heartwarming they seemed insufficiently realistic: clearly not all in that class are destined for success, and not all will be leaders. Despite what we say as a society about equality, the best we can offer is what seems like a cop out: the promise of equal opportunity.
Leaders today talk a lot about loyalty, retention, and the business value of empowering employees to be brand ambassadors. Nonetheless, research literature and blogs abound which discuss the erosion of employee loyalty to the workplace, especially among Gen X and Y. The prescriptive leadership and talent management advice runs the gamut, from changes in compensation structures to more flexibility in work schedules, team building and more, all aimed at encouraging employee engagement with the employer's brand. But the worry persists and with good reason: can the damage inflicted on employee trust by years of layoffs, pay cuts, IPOs and benefit claw-backs be overcome?
Speaking of IPOs and trust, look no further than the recent Facebook news breaks. Zuckerberg may face his biggest challenge yet as CEO when shaping the new Facebook workplace culture "post IPO" - The change in company climate will undoubtedly be reflected in the employees, a reality that Jena McGregor from the Washington Post sums up nicely here and with this quote:
"So how will Zuckerberg manage them? The Wall Street Journal has a great roundup of ideas for the 28-year-old founder. He'll need to feed these new millionaires' entrepreneurial mindsets, giving them time and autonomy to work on their own projects. He'll have to become expert at stroking egos while not setting up cultures that give the lottery winners on staff too much sway. And he'll need to keep people from checking the stock price, oh, every 10 minutes, and be willing to say goodbye quickly to those who don't want to stay."
So, is there a way to increase loyalty and engagement in the workplace? I believe there is, and it requires a near-equal exchange of information about the business's goals and challenges and a shared sense of the value of work. This true for CEOs and for employees alike. It's a two-way street of respect and trust.
All great leaders know getting there is the challenge, of course. Here are 5 behaviors for leaders and hiring managers to adopt when struggling to keep employees happy and loyal:
1) Tell the truth. Not everyone is a star. Pick out those with leadership or other valued talent potential and nurture them. This will come back to the business as these individuals, in turn, nurture other workers.
2) Communicate roles and responsibilities. Provide a path to success not only for those with leadership promise but for all employees. Sometimes this will mean difficult changes, but remember the most important skill of a leader: never surprise an employee with bad news. Have a development plan for all, and a get-well plan for those whose performance lags. Make sure everyone knows the plan.
3) Create a workplace culture that values real people relationships. For many employees, workgroup relationships and relationships between managers and workers drive engagement and loyalty more effectively than foosball machines, logo T-shirts, and Thirsty Thursday gatherings.
4) Be fair and open. This does not mean treat everyone equally – it means have transparent processes for managing and leading. Employees are more likely to respond positively to change when the process used to manage change is fair.
5) Model the behaviors you seek. Just as the headmaster at the high school did, accept your responsibility as a leader and act with engagement, commitment and responsibility. Do this every day.
Each of us possesses skills, strengths, talents and flaws. Each of us seeks to belong, to be engaged, to relate to those around us. Loyalty is built on relationships, shared understanding and trust. Engagement and commitment require loyalty, shared goals and fair treatment. Don't take loyalty and engagement for granted – create a remarkable culture where there are possible and rewarding outcomes of the workplace.
We are only human after all – Every one of us. Every leader. Every brand. Every workplace. Every person.
Agree 100% with everything, except with "Is any relationship ever completely reciprocal? Not really, because one party always wields more power over the other".
I believe a company can be driven through what I call "alignment of interests": that is corporate interests and objectives, owner/bosses and also employees own personal interests which vary depending on age, social position, or simply personal interests (earn a living, make career, have a family, etc). From my point of view, it's the company leader's main task to find coincidences among different managed people interests (employees) and consider them to accomplish a business plan or corporate strategy. As long as this happens (communicated and discussed with everyone), motivation can be granted all over the corporation and results come along. This is only possible if we believe we are ALL leaders, mainly of our own life and values, and understanding that when I am choosing a job, it´s just a small step to accomplish my personal objectives in life, where the ONLY leader is myself. With this vision you will find in a company that everyone could consider himself a leader, with a specific role as an employee in the company, but feeling he is valued as a person, leading his own life and respecting his own interests, as long as they are noy against the company and the society interests of course!
Its quite difficult for me to express myself in english as its not my mother language. Thank you for reading my comment.
I agree and will be posting this article – business is changing and we have to be more real, accountable and honest. We post blogs that deal with similar topics on www.spmlearning.com
Hi Meghan, your approach is so up to the mark in judging people. I appreciate your work. please continue to write more on human attitudes. regards
In my experience, leadership either reflects the following community or the following community reflects the leadership. In a democratic based society, it is often our perception that our leaders reflect us…….not that we are reflective of their values, positions and strategies. Often, this means leaders who are not in sync with their followers will find themselves less leaders and more autocratically designated with minding the structure instead of moving their people forward. A lesson is to be found within this somewhere…………
Simple and effective model for leaders….
You are explicitly right on the 5 Points given- will communicate with Management at my work-place and hope for a turn-around of things … thanks

More quote details and news » Mr. Hoyt said the beverage maker has ramped up its spending on LinkedIn over the past three years by paying for job ads, career pages and a recruiter talent finder. The professional-networking site has become one of PepsiCo's main sources of job candidates.
LinkedIn is trying to give corporate customers—which generate more than half its $972 million in annual revenue through its 'talent solutions' business—more reason to pay. AP
"There's one tool consistently used across the board, and that's LinkedIn," said Mr. Hoyt. He declined to say how much PepsiCo spends on the site, but said he pays LinkedIn through an annual contract and will bulk up the contract with additional services—such as if PepsiCo has special recruiting initiatives—as needed.
Mr. Hoyt's willingness to increase spending on LinkedIn helps explain why the Mountain View, Calif., company is now valued at north of $18 billion, up from $4 billion when it went public amid a wave of newfangled Web companies in May 2011. The market capitalizations of Facebook, Zynga and Groupon, in contrast, are all down by 25% to more than 60% since their initial public offerings.
LinkedIn was long an ugly duckling of social media. Investors puzzled over its hybrid consumer-and-enterprise business model, which depends on attracting consumers but selling services mainly to businesses, and its focus on the less-flashy world of professional connections.
But those same factors are what has kept the company in Wall Street's good graces even as Facebook, Zynga and Groupon have flailed amid concerns about how they are at the whims of fickle consumers.
Now LinkedIn is trying to give corporate customers—which generate more than half its $972 million in annual revenue through its "talent solutions" business—more reason to pay. It is testing corporate ads that serve content such as articles or status updates to LinkedIn's users.
LinkedIn also is pushing into content by aggregating business news and hosting expert blog posts, to give professionals more reasons to linger on the site. The more active its members, the more ads LinkedIn can sell and the more data it garners for its corporate customers' hiring and recruiting needs.
In its most recent quarter, LinkedIn said page views rose 67% from a year earlier, the company's highest growth rate in 2012. Data from comScore shows that LinkedIn has bounced between 40 million and 43 million U.S. unique visitors since August.
LinkedIn released several content-related products last year, such as an updated home page and news feed and a new publishing platform for "influencers" like Virgin Group's Richard Branson, all geared toward keeping users on its site. LinkedIn said it has rolled out more significant changes to its site in the last two quarters than the six previous quarters combined.
The pressure is on for LinkedIn to keep growing, especially as its stock values the company at 18 times 2012 sales, far above other publicly traded Internet companies. Google Inc.

LinkedIn's sequential quarterly user growth declined to single-digits, 8%, in the second quarter of 2012 for the first time since 2009, and has hung at that rate. As of the end of last year, LinkedIn said it had 202 million members.
And some people are skeptical that LinkedIn will succeed in becoming more of a publisher, which pushes the company more directly into competition with players like Facebook and Twitter Inc.
"We think the market is giving them a lot of credit for early days," said Mark May, of Barclays. "They have to get it all right at these levels."
Still, some of LinkedIn's recent push appears to be paying off. The company's three primary revenue streams—ads, its talent-solutions business and premium consumer subscriptions—continue to grow quickly. Talent-solution sales to recruiters at companies like PepsiCo are jumping fastest of all, up 90% from a year earlier.
LinkedIn this month reported its seventh straight quarter of above-expectations sales, with an 81% revenue jump to $303.6 million. While sales growth has slowed since mid-2012, LinkedIn's revenue growth is outpacing that of Facebook, Zynga and Groupon.
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, the CEO of Klarna, a Swedish online payments company with about 800 employees, says he presses his recruiters to spend more time on LinkedIn because its pool of candidates is so large and résumés tend to be more actively fleshed out and updated versus rival job sites and social networks.

Mr. Hendrickson, who declined to disclose how much Starbucks pays LinkedIn for its services, said the Seattle company nonetheless has ramped up spending on the site by paying for ads and hiring services, such as a tool that helps Starbucks keep track of its interactions with potential recruits.
Several years ago, LinkedIn mainly was used by Starbucks executive recruiters who were looking to fill senior positions. Now it is also used to fill lower-level jobs.
"Originally it was seen as your mom's or your dad's network" Mr. Hendrickson said. "Now it also has more young professionals and college-level folks."

The annual downtown holiday parade may fall victim to a new special-event fee schedule the city is imposing.
The holiday parade committee was informed Sept. 23 that it will have to pay $31,720 for police, trash and street-sweeping services for this year's event.
Organizer Paul Thorpe said the committee does not have nearly enough money to cover those costs, and, unless a major sponsor can be found before December, he may have to cancel the parade.
"Here it is three months out, and they're telling us that's what they want to charge us," he said.
Last year, the city said it would be charging the holiday parade $25,000 for the same services, but it waived the fee at the last moment.
City Manager Bob Bartolotta is instituting a new set of special-event fees that help offset the cost of man hours it takes to process permits for those events.
The St. Armands Circle Association has been protesting the new cost structure, saying it may have to cancel many, or even all, of the 20 events it holds on the Circle each year.
