"Go after your dream, no matter how unattainable others think it is." Linda Mastandrea
How badly do you want your vision? Do you have the passion to persevere after your vision when it seems impossible to achieve?
What is Passion?
It is a strong, intense feeling or emotion that will push you to go after your most intimate desires. Passion that is in tune to the vision God has placed in your heart will equip you with the stamina to pursue it at all costs.
You want let nothing or no one stop you. You will develop a passion that burns so intense that negative situations or discouraging words won't extinguish the fire the burns within you. You will go to bed at night anticipating the next day and wake up in the morning ready to live out your vision.
When you are hungry for vision nothing will satisfy your appetite. If you are doing anything other than pursuing your vision you will not be satisfied.
You want be satisfied
If you know there is a business in you waiting to give birth, you want be satisfied working on a job. If you know your marriage is supposed to bless other couples, you won't be satisfied with a lack luster marriage.
If you know you need to be in good shape to fulfill your vision, you won't be satisfied unless you are doing everything necessary to stay healthy. Whatever you need to do to make your vision a reality, you must do it.
I want to be upfront and warn you that a price must be paid to accomplish your vision. You may lose some people that are close to you because they want understand your passion. You may have to go to bed late and get up early because you must put in the extra hours to make things happen. You may have to give up your familiar routines because your vision is pushing you to start something new.
Your vision is not going to show up at your door in a neatly wrapped box with a neatly tied bow on top. You are not going to read a bestselling book or listen to a powerful motivational speech or inspirational sermon with a five step formula that will bring you instant success.
You are not going to be able to read a list of affirmations, quote a few popular scriptures or think great thoughts and your vision will automatically happen. If you want to see your vision produce positive results, you must put on your hard hat, steel-toe boots, work clothes and go to work.
Passion to see your vision through
I have realized that once you decide to implement your vision, nothing or no one can stop you, but you. If you will remain steadfast, unmovable and abide in God's directions even when the struggles of life confront you, victory is possible.
If you are passionate about seeing your vision come to fruition, you will defy the odds and achieve what others and even yourself think is impossible. A passion for vision will give you a picture of a brighter future that you can't let go.
Even when life throws you a curve ball and you want to walk away from everything. If you lose your job, bank account drops to zero, friends and family walk away, a passion to fulfill your vision will motivate you to keep pushing forward. Whatever your vision may be, remain passionate about it, value it, fight for it, work at it and you will be rewarded

Murder trial begins for adoptive father
Updated 10:10 pm, Tuesday, May 6, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Three-year-old Melody Velasquez had dried blood around her mouth and nose and a golf-ball-size bruise on her forehead by the time her adoptive fathers called for help, a witness testified Tuesday as the murder trial began for one of the men.
Matthew Oscar Aranda, 48, waited 31 hours before seeking medical attention, prosecutors contend.
He and partner Norberto Velasquez — who had fostered and later adopted Melody after her removal from her birth parents at 3 months old — were charged with the crime after her death in January 2009.
Dennis McNabb, a paramedic who first responded to the couple's home, told jurors Tuesday that in addition to the bruising and blood, there were indicators that the girl suffered seizures.
"Essentially, she was not alive" when paramedics arrived, he said. "She had no pulse at all, her heart was not beating, she was not breathing."
Velasquez, 49, stood trial last November on charges that he caused serious bodily injury to the child. He was found guilty.
News Channel
A jury assessed his punishment at probation, though he could have faced up to life in prison. After his conviction but before a judge could officially read the sentence, Velasquez experienced a medical emergency at the courthouse and was taken to the hospital.
Within a month, he had died.
During an opening statement Tuesday in 144th state District Court, prosecutor Daryl Harris told jurors that Aranda — called "Daddy Matt" by Melody and his other adopted children — was the girl's primary caregiver. He failed her by waiting so long to call 911, Harris said.
Defense attorney Charles Bunk declined to offer an opening statement but will have another chance to do so after the state rests its case.
During Velasquez's trial, pathologist William Robert Anderson testified for the defense that the child might have previously suffered a brain bleed before she was removed from her birth family. That same injury could have resulted in her death years later, he suggested.
Her incomplete medical records, he said, meant that couldn't be ruled out.

Dallas Opera Announces Ten Finalists for 2014 Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year; Ceremony Set for 5/22
Ten artists have been nominated and thousands of subscribers will soon be casting their vote for this year's winner of the prestigious "Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year" Award. The Dallas Opera bestows this award annually to the performer who makes the most unforgettable impression onstage in their company debut. The winner will be announced at the annual Dallas Opera Board and Trustee Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, May 22, 2014 in the Crescent Ballroom of the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, 400 Crescent Court in Uptown Dallas.
Inspired by the legacy of the legendary soprano Maria Callas, who launched TDO in her 1957 company debut, Dallas Opera renewing subscribers determine a single winner each season by popular vote. Ballots will be emailed to renewing subscribers on Monday, April 21, 2014 and voting will begin immediately. The deadline for casting the vote is Monday, May 5, 2014 at 5:00 PM.
The etched-crystal plaque created by award-winning designers from Tiffany & Co. for the Dallas Opera bears Callas' likeness.
"This has been a spectacular year for programming that included classics, neglected gems, and avant-garde works, offering the opportunity for a wide-range of riveting performances by our gifted debut artists," explains Dallas Opera General Director and CEO Keith Cerny. "The singers not only had to show their vocal expertise, but captivate us with their acting prowess in often-challenging roles. Our patrons were dazzled by the incredible talent on display this season. Now the time has come to choose the one opera artist who most closely follows in the footsteps of opera legend Maria Callas."
Balloting for the award will be conducted entirely online. Any Dallas Opera subscriber, full or FLEX, who has renewed for the upcoming 2014-2015 Season is eligible to vote and will receive an email with complete instructions on how and where to do so. The results will be verified by the independent accounting firm of Travis, Wolff & Company, L.L.P., prior to being announced.

The list of subsequent winners reads like an opera's "Who's Who" from Cecilia Bartoli, Mary Dunleavy, Elizabeth Futral, Hei-Kyung Hong, Denyce Graves, Indira Mahajan, Mary Mills, Patricia Racette, Latonia Moore, Christopher Ventris, Catherine Naglestad, James Valenti, and Ben Heppner, Laura Claycomb to last year's winner, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham.

Zokora: I chose right
By Robin Slater
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Didier Zokora insists he was right to choose Tottenham over Arsenal.
Didier Zokora insists he made the right choice when he chose to join Tottenham over arch rivals Arsenal in the summer.
The Ivory Coast international could have been forgiven for joining fellow countrymen Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue at Arsenal but chose instead to join the young English talent at White Hart Lane.
The 26-year-old, who lines up against Liverpool on Saturday, is widely respected at Spurs where his box to box playing style forms the heartbeat of Martin Jol's side.
The player is now looking forward to a successful season with Spurs, alongside a wealth of English talent, which he believes can form the backbone of the national side in years to come.
He told the Daily Mirror: "It is very satisfying knowing that I have made the right decision. We may have had a bad start to the Premiership because a lot of new players have needed time to gel. But now everything is going so well in the Cups and in the League.
"Lennon, Huddlestone and Dawson are excellent young players. I saw Lennon play at the World Cup for England and he is very quick and one of the most important players in the team. At any time he can set up a goal-scoring opportunity, that's how dangerous he is.
"Huddlestone is a fine all-round defensive midfielder who can produce any pass. He always looks very relaxed on the ball and he is always at ease.
"Dawson is one of the best defenders we have got because he is very aggressive and he will break down any situation.
"Tottenham have got all the players - from Dawson at the back to Jermain Defoe at the front - to form the spine of the English national team.
"Success at club level leads to success at national level. Because the spine is already here, the same players can bring success for the country."

iOS 7 is designed to support the iPhone 4 and later, and iPad 2 and up. Officially, this indicates iOS 7 should work efficiently on iPhone 4 and iPad 2 – the older iPhone/iPad gadgets with the respect to iOS 7. But possibilities are high, that your previous iPhone/iPad stutters with the iOS 7.
In hardware terms, iOS 7 does operate relatively smoothly on previous iDevices but other stuff – apps, data , processes running in background, updates and so on. can in fact decelerate your gadget.
Listed here are some suggestions how to speed-up iOS 7 on iOS Devices for instance iPhone 4 & 4S and iPad 2/ 3/ 4 and iPad Mini.
Stop All The Background App Refresh
iOS 7 refreshes the apps even when they are running in background. Normally, this consumes lots of memory when we run several apps which refresh automatically. In the present world, lots of apps do that.
iOS 7 is slowing down? Could be cut down due background app refresh. To turn off this feature, go-to Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh and turn-off it .
Turn-Off the Auto Updates
Searching at a significant number of applications ready to be updated is not just nice but lots of applications updating quietly in background is not cool either – when you have a restricted data plan and on your old iPhone or iPad.
When it is enabled, automatically the iOS 7 will update the apps. You will be informed, obviously, but it continues in the background as well as all other processes. This will likely slow the iOS 7. If you've the addiction of updating the apps frequently – could possibly be do it by bedside over night – you may need to turn off this.
Go-to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> turn-off the Updates under the Automatic Downloads.
Clear All The Apps That You Don not Use
Smart phones require cleaning too. If you allow your iOS Device be a little unorganized, the apps and the data stack up will cost a great deal later on. In case of having an old iOS Device on iOS 7, this influence compounds. So it is much better that you clear all the apps from your iOS device. When you clear the apps and their related data, you get lots of free space that iOS 7 can increase to or take advantage of.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller. Photo courtesy of Fighting and Entertainment Group.
A rematch between former DREAM middleweight grand prix tournament competitors Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza and Jason "Mayhem" Miller is reportedly possible for DREAM.9, which is currently slated to take place at the Yokohama Arena in Japan on May 26.
The news comes from a report by Tatame.com. Souza and Miller originally fought in the second round of DREAM's inaugural middleweight grand prix, where Souza earned a decision over the colorful Miller.
A second fight between the two next month would apparently be for the now vacant DREAM middleweight title as champion Gegard Mousasi has opted to forego his belt in order to move up to the light heavyweight division.
Since their bout, "Jacare" went on to defeat Croatian striker Zelg Galesic via first-round submission in the tournament semi-finals before eventually losing to Mousasi later on in the main event of DREAM.6 last September.
Miller meanwhile has not competed since suffering his loss to Souza, but is currently scheduled to take on former ICON Sport standout Kala "Kolohe" Hose at Kingdom MMA's debut event this Saturday night in Honolulu, Hawaii.
DREAM.9 will feature the second round of the organization's first-ever featherweight grand prix. The four matchups announced for the event include the return of Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto against . Joe Warren, Bibiano Fernandes vs. Masakazu Imanari, Yoshiro Maeda vs. Hiroyuki Takaya, and Abel Cullum vs. injury replacement Hideo Tokoro.

I'm a pretty balanced and self-sufficient chick. I don't go through intense emotional battles, unless a situation deems appropriate (death in the family, etc.). If I'm upset, I shut myself away for a few hours and figure out my thoughts, possible solutions to cure my problem(s), etc. I've never been accused of being cold or emotionless--quite the opposite, 'cause I love to laugh! Also I hate drama and pointless complaining that gets you nowhere. But crying out for help is not my first reaction because I don't see it as fair to burden someone else with your problems when they probably have enough of their own.
Now, when it comes to relationships, I'm struggling. Never been in one, in fact, so I'm wondering this--am I not seen as girlfriend material because I rely more on myself with my problems, and would rather let my encounters with the opposite sex go smoothly? Would a guy rather have someone he can fix to save his damsel-in-distress?
I'm having a hard time understanding what I should do or what I need to change. Thankyou in advance for your advice! :o)
Most Helpful Girl
Do you want a guy who wants to FIX YOU? You are on the right track when you insist on solving your OWN problems.. That shows you are a strong, independent, person with very high self esteem. If a guy wants to be your Knight In Shining Armor -- that's a hangup HE has.. He needs to feel superior.. Don't give a guy that kind of power. If you have a problem and you want to share it - so that you can BOTH reacha solution based on give/take - that's different. Do not ever think it's ok for some guy to take responsibility for you.. And do NOT - and I repeat.. DO NOT change yourself to make some guy happy. YOU will be happiest with a guy who respects you and knows you can solve your OWN problems. When a girl has so many issues that she expects a guy to solve for her - she becomes a burden. And he wants to get away. Don't be that girl. Guys who have to save you are insecure. Period. Good luck.. YOU will do FINE -- You were raised right and taught that YOU are valuable - intelligent - beautiful - and
CAPABLE.! That is the mark of a winner that ANY HEALTHY guy would want to be around. Would you want to have to fix some GUY? Hmmm. See what I mean?11|00|0

TWO young men were found dead in separate Bournemouth car parks within the space of a week.
The body of 21-year-old David Atkinson was discovered at a private car park behind the Dalkeith Arcade on the morning of Thursday, August 21.
It has since emerged a homeless man, believed to be a 27-year-old called Patrick, was found dead at the Winter Gardens car park the previous week.
Neither of the deaths are being treated as suspicious.
Describing his son as a kind and conscientious young man, David Atkinson's father, Neil, said the family were devastated.
The father-of-four said his son, a former pupil at Winton Boys' School, had a breakdown last month but seemed to be turning things around.
"Everything was very positive," he said.
"He was on new medication and was seeing a new doctor. He had spoken to his girlfriend that evening and they were planning to see each other the next day.
"He was turning it around."
The youngster, who had studied car mechanics at Bournemouth and Poole College, was last seen leaving the YMCA hostel where he was staying at around 3am on Friday morning.
He would often go and watch the sun rise from the car park at Richmond Gardens when he couldn't sleep, Mr Atkinson said.
"We think he may have slipped but we just don't know what happened," he said.
Less than a week before David's death, the body of a homeless man was discovered by a member of the public at the Winter Gardens car park at around 11am on Friday, August 15.
Anastasia Wells, founder of the homeless support group Street Light Bournemouth, said Patrick, affectionately known as Paddy, was a friendly man who was a familiar face at the group's soup kitchen.
The 23-year-old said: "I remember the first time I met him I was feeding the homeless and he came up to us and said 'And what's this here then?' "He did make us laugh. He was usually very quiet and liked to keep himself to himself," she added.
A spokesman from the Coroner's Office said efforts are being made to trace the man's next of kin.
Post mortems are yet to be carried out on both bodies.
Rector sad over deaths
REVEREND Dr Ian Terry, Bournemouth Town Centre Parish Team Rector, said he was "dreadfully sorry" to hear of the two deaths.
"It's always shocking to hear the death of anybody in these circumstances. It's horrible to hear these things," he said.
The reverend also praised the work being done by Bournemouth Borough Council to help homeless people in the town.
He added: "It's very sad that despite their efforts this sort of thing still happens."

Caitlin Michele Woos Herself on to Team Adam with 'Cosmic Love' on 'The Voice'
Is it us, or have the blind auditions for season three of 'The Voice' been on for like ... ever now? Trying her hand to fill one of the very last spots on one of the coaches teams was Caitlin Michele, a young 20-something who suffers from panic and anxiety attacks. We were too focused on her resemblance to Katy Perry (from her quirkiness to dip-dyed blue hair) to really pay attention to much else.

. Polish teen #3 - Caroline (absolute classic sybian clip) SCREENS: http://www.jam-hot.com/details.php?id=9572 Description: Classic clips from CDGirls.com (joined). Barbie-alike Caroline (dark-blonde curls, black lingerie, pretty smile, soft-skinned, all shouting `Natural` to us) must be known by a billion+ males. Guess they all hope their partners should come the way she does here. Absolute top-class porn, be it soft. File information: There is an image stand-still in the video between 13'37 and 15'23: the clip will continue to play, yet the image is frozen. After this interval, the clip just continues where is was stopped (NO loss of content). Simple use of the fastforward button or taking the time of getting a well-deserved Stella out of the fridge can solve it all. The original mpeg-file contained all sorts of issues; here the file has been transformed into .avi-format; the only problem that could not be solved is this standstill. There is however NO loss of content!!! Resolution: 352 x 240 Format: .avi Duration: 21 mins. All my other Piratebay uploads: http://thepiratebay.se/user/p_damnation .

Just a reminder to those with future reservations...
I check once a month for my particular cruise/room category. The price has fluctuated up to $200 more per person since we originally booked (one year in advance). Now we are inside of 4 months to go and I see the price is now $50 less than when we booked! I called RCCL and he said...NO PROBLEM! (My two favorite words) He is emailing me the confirmation now with the total of $100 off! Is it a great day or what?
Great advice cousins and happy to hear it was no problem. They are the best in the industry at making such adjustments, even inside penalty. Kudos to RCI, Celeb and Carnival for taking the lead in customer service in this area. Hope the others follow suit at some point.
Cheers, Neil
Thanks Neil...it made my day! I'm hoping there will be another dip in price as it nears the cruise. If we have to pay the balance by July 20th and we do does the "penalty phase" start after that date? If the cruise price dips after July 20th do you think we could still ask for the lower price?
You out there?
Sorry, working in between reading.
Yep, with RCI they have been lowering rates even after penalty phase which begins at your final payment due date. Also a good idea to get you insurance by that date, many policies exempt pre-existing coverage after that date. Also they more carefully scrutinize claims if you purchase after due date.
Cheers, Neil
I'll have to ask my husband about the ins. thing...he's not big on ins.
If the rates go down even after we pay in July, you think we can still get the lower price from RCI, right?
Yep, I have had several instances letely and they have adjusted tham all for me.
Cheers, Neil
Carnival is very good about doing that as well. I have had them call me to let me know there was a price drop.
Yes Carnival definately is very good about dropping their prices and giving you a better price. I know our first cruise we went on ended up being cheaper later on and they gave us our money back.
They get a little testy though to change rate codes after penalty.

A residential care service supporting people with learning disabilities is celebrating after receiving a "glowing" report from the Care Quality Commission.
The commission, the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England, found Essex Park in Finchley met all its standards for safety and quality.
In the report, the CQC inspector said: "All the care records we viewed contained a detailed support plan outlining the support the person needed with various aspects of daily life such as health, mobility, personal care and hygiene, communication, eating and drinking, mental health and well-being, and community participation.
"These were person-centred, very detailed and specific to the person and their needs."
The care service is run by national disability charity Walsingham.
Gary Morgan, operations and development manager for central and southern England at Walsingham, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the positive feedback received from the Care Quality Commission.
"As an organisation, Walsingham is committed to providing personalised support for adults with disabilities and this report demonstrates our dedication to that."

My baby Ammo. My Best Friend. What else can I say but a huge part of my soul and spirit died and was buried with you. My necklace I wore for 3 years straight I put in your grave to take to Heaven with you.So you would remember me. Ammo This family loves you so much even though you're gone but no one absolutely no one could feel as bad as I do right now because I was your buddy, your best friend, you were my adopted son. You were anything but just a dog and I know I was anything but just your owner. Ammo someday when you hear the news I'm coming home to see you, run to greet me at the Pearly Gates because you'll be the first one I look for when I get there. Until then I know you'll be with me in spirit. See you later Ammo and as the saying goes,
"If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again." It's not even possible to know how much I love and miss you.
Poem for Ammo, the dog of all dogs
To my dearest Ammo,
some things I'd like to say
First of all I love and miss you
each and every day
Is it nice up there in Heaven?
Do you have a pair of wings?
Your size no longer holds you back
I know up there you're king.
I will not hide it.
I still feel very sad
when I think of all the fun
that you and I had.
Always happy to see me
when I got home from school
Love each other always.
That was our only rule.
My soul was buried with you
on that fateful day.
Goodbye was something I never ever got to say.
My dearest Rillo when my time on Earth is through
The first one I'll be looking for in Heaven will be you.
So dont worry about me.
I might be a little late.
Just be sure when you hear the news
to run and meet me at the Pearly Gates.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU THREW UP ON HER CARPET? Ammo we had so many fun times together.
In the basket you came home in
You couldn't fit in it anymore!
Your favorite place to sleep was on the foot of my bed at night and you'd crawl up beside me in the middle of the night and in the morning you'd lick my face to wake me up. Sometimes you'd wait until I got up to get up. Your Best dog friend was Felony. She misses you too. Autumn the cat remembers how you tried to save her from the big bad dog just a few hours before you died. You died a hero Ammo.You came home with me September 24, 2006. You got me through some rough times friend and you were with me for Christams and you survived Thanksgiving with Parvo. Your favorite sweater was the red one. It fit you perfect and it kept you so warm. I wish you could've been there for Valentines Day. You would've brightened up the house a lot. No one felt like celebrating because you were gone. I'll place the rose mom gave us on your grave. I'm gonna miss you when I go back to the Big League Baseball Park. Actually I dont think I'll go anymore. It'd just be too lonely without you. You had so many friends there. They all loved you so much. I'm running track next year for you Ammo. I know you'll be right behind me running the whole way just like you used to but this time you wont get tired. I'm winning for you and I don't care if I fall over or have to walk to the finish line, I'm finishing for you.
You hiding in that sock. Remember that day?
Ammo, I found a patch of your hair under my bed when I was cleaning our room today. I know you never lost hair. You barely even shed.I Im positive it yours though because it was soft and fluffy just like your old puppy hair. I feel in my heart you sent this to me from Heaven to let me know you're doing fine and not to worry about you. Thank You. Somehow just seeing that patch of fur made me feel better because I know in my heart now that you're happy. I know you knew It'd make me feel better seeing it. Love you Ammo. Warm wishes from Earth.
Love Your Bestest Friend Ever, Lana
P.S Your favorite toy, your giraffe, Your Bobo, and your bear all sleep beside me on your bed now. Also your little black pillow. I put my arm around that at night before I go to sleep and think of you because it's soft and fluffy like you. I'm keeping that empty spot you left at the end of our bed warm for you. Also you hold a special spot above my bed in an 8 picture frame. You've already seen it though haven't you? Every night since you left, I've felt you behind me following me everywhere I went just like you always used to do. I can't see you, but I'm positive you are there watching over me. My Guardian Angel now. My Best Friend Ammo forever.
Hero and King of the Universe in my eyes forever Ammo

Strikers Taiwo Atieno and Melvin Holwijn have left Barnet after their contracts with the Bees expired.
Atieno joined the Bees on a one-month contract over Christmas and made four appearances for the club, scoring one goal against Bradford City.
Barnet assistant head coach Ulrich Landvreugd confirmed after the weekend defeat to Burton Albion that Atieno's contract with the club had expired.
Holwijn made his only appearance for Barnet as a 83rd minute substitute in the 1-1 draw with AFC Wimbledon in December 2012.
Prior to joining the Bees, Holwijn had played across Europe with a spell in Greece at Iraklis Thessalonik and a year in Germany with FC Carl Zeiss Jena.
He also played for several clubs in his native Holland.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Good Morning,
Unfortunately, I would be more likely to suspect FIP, particulary if she has not been vaccinated and goes outdoors....heartworms do not cause high globulin levels...
For more info on this condition, click here.
I hope this helps you and that FIP is not the case here. Please let me know how it goes with your vet, I will be thinking of you.
Warmest Wishes,
Thank you Reani, She is an outdoor cat, but we have been religious about keeping her up on all of her vacinnations/shots over the years. Could she still have FIP? Since your answer, I just glanced at a definition of FIP. Does feline "coronavirus" have anything to do with her eyes? Her eyes seemed a little glazed to me and a little disoriented. I also wasn't sure she was seeing real well as I was hand feeding her food.
The only thing I was lax on was the heartworm medicine. I didn't realize it was that critical for cats.
It can cause blindness in some cases which when onset is sudden can cause her to be disoriented. Check with your vet to see if she has been vaccinated, since it is not a required vaccine like rabies is...
The vet can check her for heartworm as well, but I do not think that is what is going one with your girl..
Another possibility is a thyroid condition, kidney or heart conditions as those can cause hypertension which can cause sudden blindness as well.
I would get some bloodwork done if it has not been done already as well as having the thyroid checked.
Hope that helps!
Thank you - this was very helpful.
You are so very welcome! It was a pleasure to help you, please do let me know what happens okay?
Thank you for your accept and the generous bonus. I am sending this as an info request so you are not prompted to accept again.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Taylor Swift: Round Two
Presumably because she didn't write a song about him fast enough, Jake Gyllenhaal has engaged Taylor Swift again, hoping to make a more lasting impression that she'll immortalize to music. (Friendly Tip: Donkey punch. — You're welcome.) People reports:
The two stars, whose brief relationship fizzled in December, arrived quietly together on Wednesday at Bound'ry, a restaurant near Swift's Nashville condo, and were led back to a table for two, according to another patron.
"They did eat," the patron tells PEOPLE. "They were cordial to one another, but not affectionate."
"Cordial, but not affectionate." As opposed to what, dry humping on top of the arugula? C'mon. You don't take a beautiful woman out to dinner unless you're going to have sex with her later. That's the whole point. Or, if you're smart like Tiger Woods, you feed them at Subway before doing them in the parking lot. It's frugal, efficient and probably why he's a billionaire. Suck it, Suze Orman.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The major equity averages began 2014 with three down days, followed by a strong rebound on Tuesday. This resiliency simply means that the market's inflating bubbles are just not ready to pop. This is not surprising, as pivots from my proprietary analytics have kept volatility trendless.
The S&P 500 ended 2013 at 1848.36, up 29.6% for the year. It set a new all-time intraday high at 1849.44 on the last day of the year. The warning is that the S&P began 2014 below my monthly pivot at 1847. Given this dynamic, the market needs a positive reaction to Friday's employment data for December. A weekly close above 1847 would mean another round of new highs -- if we do not see them Wednesday or Thursday first.
The Dow Transportation Average has been a market stabilizer by staying between its longer-term pivots despite a negative divergence on its daily chart. Transports have stayed above their semiannual pivot at 7245 after slipping below their second semiannual pivot at 7376 and their monthly pivot at 7327. Transports ended 2013 at 7400.57, up 39.4% -- the best performer among the five major averages. The transportation average set its all-time intraday high at 7410.25 on the last day of the year.
The daily chart for the transportation average shows a declining 12x3x3 daily slow stochastic reading. But the transports average stayed above its 21-day simple moving average at 7243.41 on Monday and Tuesday. A close below the 21-day SMA would be a short-term negative, putting the focus on the 50-day SMA at 7175.12. A close below the 50-day SMA would indicate risk to the 200-day SMA, rising at 6580. Transports have been above the 50-day SMA since Oct. 10, 2013, and above their 200-day SMA since Dec. 10, 2012.

RESISTANCE is useless.
It's impossible to watch the video for Little King and not have a grin like the proverbial Cheshire cat by the time the song finishes.
The film is colourful, lively and, most of all, everyone on screen looks like they're having a whale of a tiime. You actualy want to climb inside your computer and join in the fun.
Little King is the latest number from Taylor and the Mason, a guitar duo featuring Sale's Rebecca Taylor and Sally Mason, who comes from Chorlton.
Both 27 and both drama graduates - Salford University - and Rebecca says they first started singing as a hobby.
She says Little King is going down well with live audiences.
"It's the most fun tune that we play really and it gets everyone dancing. It does cheer everyone up at gigs whenever we play that song at gigs and at the end we get a really nice response to it," says Rebecca.
They're a big hit with what she describes as "the folk crowd" and Rebecca says musically they also have a strong family appeal.
I first interviewed Rebecca when she was starting out as a stand up comedian - what made her move into music?
"With the stand up because you're by yourself that was a lot more stressful and playing the music is a bit miore relaxed. We can bounce off each other," she says.

About me: I've been playing games since I can remember, with a nerdy older brother to show me the ropes as well as encouraging parents. My parents at first were worried about me playing games at a young age, but soon found that the more I played games, my reading comprehension grew stronger in school.
Even though I love video games, I love living my life especially! Going out, spending times with friends and family, exercising, drawing, and studying to go to nursing school someday. But you can't forget the video games!!

Buying a New or Used CarIf you're looking for the best deals on a new or used car, there are three simple rules to follow:
Know your Credit Score"Dealer Financing" sounds like a quick and convenient service, doesn't it? After all, they'll arrange your financing for you right on the spot. Furthermore, they want to sell you the car, so you know you'll get a deal on the financing, right?
Ha! Forget that ... dealer financing is the biggest profit-generating tool available to the dealer. Odds are you're getting tooled on the interest rate -- odds are even greater that there's an innocent math "error" that you're not going to catch (and they're not going to "catch" -- since they're the ones who put it there) that will result in you paying hundreds or thousands more than you should.
What makes it so easier to job unsuspecting buyers on financing is that finanching seems complex. Unless you've got access to interest tables, it's hard to double-check the arithmetic (if you understand it in the first place). When you do spot something that doesn't seem right, the dealer will mumble some offering about "standard policy" and "company requirements" -- all of which is complete nonsense.
The fact is that financing is actually a pretty simple process -- IF you take care of it before you ever set foot in the dealer. If your credit rating is good (a score of 550 or so is "good"), you can find financing at much lower interest rates than you'll find at the dealer.
That's why it's important to know your credit score first. If you have a good score, you can skip right ahead to shopping for financing.
If not, then you need to find out now ... and find out how you can fix it.
If you have a less-than-good rating, that's not as bad as you might think. There's a good chance this is due to an error in your credit report. "Oh, they don't make errors in credit reports, do they?" Hah again! Credit reports are often loaded with errors -- and they're often incredibly easy to fix, too!
Often it's not more than sending the credit report a letter stating "I have never been to California in my life and I certainly didn't charge 17 skateboards to a card I've never owned", or "I paid that loan off in full 15 years ago." -- things of that nature. It's surprising that when credit reports are wrong, they're really wrong! A simple statement correcting the error may be all you need to get your score right back on top.
But -- you've got to know there's a problem first! And that's why it's important to find out your credit score first. It's easy to get a copy of your credit report -- you can call the different credit agencies and request reports (they may charge a small processing fee), or you can use one of the internet credit reporting services that will do this work for you and send you a copy.
One such service is "CreditReporting.com". They're a member of the BBB Online and are noted for their reliability.
Once you've received your credit report -- and performed any necessary credit repair -- it's time for your financing. You can use local lending institutions ... or you can short cut the whole process AND get a better interest rate at the same time. Use one of the many Internet-based automobile lending agencies -- they'll approve you via email within minutes at an interest rate you probably won't be able to touch locally.
Once you answer a few questions, you'll receive approval via email within minutes. In a couple of days, you'll get a "blank check" from the institution. The check will be good for any amount up to your approved amount. You can shop for a vehicle, then fill in the check amount and the payee to pay for the car. Using the check will clue the lending agency to start your monthly payments.
The check is normally good for 60 days or so -- so you can take your time to shop, knowing all the while that your financing is set!
There are many Internet lending institutions (you've probably seen TV ads for several), but here are two excellent ones you might want to check:
Another one is E-Loan -- try E-Loan and get your loan approval in minutes via email! Apply for a car loan today!
Once your financing is set, it's time to start shopping. You can shop your local car lots -- even private sellers in the classifieds -- but you'll find your best deals by shopping "wide".
By shopping "wide", I mean covering all the car sellers within a 50 to 100 mile radius who might have the type of vehicle you want. This can take you quite a while if you do it in person -- but you can do it in minutes with an Internet search!
Use these three Internet automobile search tools to scour your local sources and find exactly the vehicle you want within your price guidelines:
Once you've found your vehicle, use your pre-arranged financing and the deal is set! You can even do the entire process without leaving your home! Just have the dealer deliver the car to your driveway!
Finally, be sure and take car of details like car insurance. The lending agencies (and the local government) will likely insist on adequate coverage. If you don't already have an insurance agent (and even if you do), you can shop for the best coverage online! Why not ask for a free quote from these folks:

Uluru to Kangaroo
by Brian Walters
About the Book
In Uluru to Kangaroo, Margaret and Brian Walters travel from western Sydney to Australia's Red Centre. On the way they explore outback New South Wales and South Australia and fly from Coober Pedy to view Lake Eyre and the Painted Hills from the air. On the return journey, and as a complete contrast, they travel south to Kangaroo Island before heading home through south-western New South Wales.
This book is a photographic record of that four and a half week journey during which Margaret and Brian covered over 9,000 kilometres in their aging Magna station wagon (which, thankfully, delayed its major breakdown until a few days after they returned home).
The text in the book is based on a 'blog' that was maintained during the trip and uploaded wherever wireless internet was available.

A new dinosaur the size of a house cat and described as a cross between ''a bird, a vampire and a porcupine'' has been identified in a piece of rock from South Africa.
University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno, who published the findings on Wednesday in the online scientific journal ZooKeys, told Reuters he orginally discovered the small-bodied herbivore in 1983.
Dr Sereno, whose research involved mapping the dinosaur family tree, said he came upon the specimen as a graduate student while doing research in a Harvard University laboratory and intended to write about it immediately.
''I said, 'Whoa!' I realised it was a new species from the moment I set eyes on it,'' Dr Sereno said.
But he said he grew distracted by other things, and had in mind a more ambitious research project.
''There was always a danger that someone would discover it and write about it, and I would read about it,'' he said, but added it was all for the best: ''Hey, I'm smarter than I was then.''
The strange-looking species, which Sereno has named Pegomastax africanus, or ''thick jaw from Africa'', lived between 100 million and 200 million years ago.
''I describe it as a bird, a vampire and a porcupine,'' Sereno said.
It had the weight of a small house cat and stood less than 30 centimetres off of the ground.
It had a thick jaw and a blunt beak with a ''heightened tooth that sticks down, dagger-like'', Dr Sereno said.

Slings for a 10/22...
Hey guys,
I'mlooking to add a sling to my 10/22 in the near future. I've done a little searching and Googling, but am having trouble picking a model.
My 10/22 is a factory stock Carbine. No mods yet.
What I reall want is a sling that can be attached to or replace the barrel band, and can be affixed to the buttstock without any drilling or permanent modification of the stock itself.
I'm a little overwhelmed by the selection of aftermarket parts. Can anyone point me at something that fits those general criteria?
Thanks a ton in advance.
quick google search brought this up Amazon.com: UAG Tactical "QD" Quick Detatch 3-Point Multi-Functional Ruger 1022,10/22.10-22, Mini 14, Mini-14,SR556,SR-556,SR22,SR-22 Rifle-12/20 GaugeShotgun-Gun-Weapon Sling: Sports & Outdoors i googled: 10/22 sling it wa first on the list. i dont have one of these slings i have no idea whether it is any good or not. but what you want is out there.
If you're not willing to drill a hole the above is about it :confused:
The front is a ez fix in several different manners but not the rear :o
Thanks, Jon.
I had spotted that one as well (via the same search keywords). I'm just trying to figure out where I'd hook the front hook.
I used a system similar to this when I was on active duty. We really liked them for MOUT ops.
there are sling swivel studs that attach to the barrel band

Atlanta Braves reliever Jordan Walden added injury to insult when he was hit in his pitching hand with a comebacker in Atlanta's 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Saturday, but he thankfully won't need a stint on the disabled list.
Walden completed two thirds of an inning, taking the loss after Adeiny Hechavarria tripled in the ninth and scored on a wild pitch, but the Braves are more concerned with the fact that he had to come out of the game when Logan Morrison lined a pitch off Walden's bare hand.
Somehow, Walden recovered and threw out Morrison at first, but he came out immediately with a bruised hand. X-rays taken after the game came out negative, though there was swelling.
The Braves' loss snapped their 14-game winning streak.

Not all of the roughly 2,000 videos, however, are available under all four plans. Most well-known hollywood movies are available only as pay-per-view rentals, which cost up to $3.99 each and expire 24 hours after you first play them. You'll also need an internet connection to watch these films, so don't plan on Cinemanow to provide your in-flight entertainment.

The drawback with such oil cleansers is that they are runny and I feel like I waste some of the product when rubbing it between my hands. Clarins pure melt cleanser has fixed this but making the oil into a gel, and it stays as a gel until it comes into contact with the makeup on your face! Then and only then, does it melt into an oil cleanser. It effectively removes all of the makeup (even waterproof mascara, with minimal rubbing) from my face and when I go to rinse it rinses clean like any other oil based cleanser! According to Clarins the pure Melt Cleansing Gel "preserves the skin's hydrolipidic film as it softens, soothes and refreshes skin, and rinses off easily." OK. Whatever hydrolipdic means, (water & oil = Hydro-lipid) it works. my skin is soft after use and never feels tight or dry. I will say that if you are not wearing makeup this gel cleanser can feel sticky and may not melt into the oil. You may need a washcloth to effectively remove it if you are sensitive to any residue left over from rinsing. I have used this alone, without my Clarisonic brush, but I didn't feel like my face was fully clean. Perhaps that's a result of using a Clarisonic for so long, perhaps it's a residue from the Clarins. I'm not sure, so I treat this cleanser as a makeup remover not a full fledged cleanser. Also one last thing to note is that this product does have fragrance. Perhaps it is the c-Marula oil but whatever it is, if you are sensitive to fragrance I would avoid this. I happen to love the scent. It's clean and semi flowery .
The biggest drawbacks to this item is the price and the speed in which I go though it. I try to be conservative and use a nickle size dollop in my palm but I still feel like I go though this quite fast. At $30 a tube for 3.9 oz it's spendy to say the least. The packaging is good because cheap-o me can cut the tube in half and get in there to scoop out every trace of product once I near the end. But as I said, nearing the end of a tube comes all to quickly some times. I have purchased this product 2 times in the past 8 months. I that's bad because some days I skip it and use my Shu Uemura cleansing oil.
So will I buy this again? No. Once I run out of my Shu oil I'm getting more of the Shu. The last bottle (150ml) lasted me over a year so I won't be picking up the Clarins any time soon. I'm trying to use up all my skin care items before I buy or swap for more. I found myself overrun with cleansers and acne treatments and toners and masks and you name it. I had to pair down so I'm on a "Use it up/No Buy". You might see some more reviews from me in the coming months as I go though using up products.
F.Y.I. My skin is combination Oily in T-zone, It is clog prone and sensitive to silicones. I have fine lines near my eyes and am starting to get dryness under my eyes and on my cheeks. My skin loves deep cleansing and exfoliation (manual & chemical) and hates silicone-y type products that sit on top of my skin and cause my pores to suffocate.
For reference, here are the cleansing oils I have used. All of them are effective in removing makeup and sunscreen, but some are more effective than others In order of effectiveness & best value they are:
Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I 5.07oz/150ml = $32.00
Lumene Lift Touch Rejuvenating Cleansing Oil 6.8oz/200ml = $9.99
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 6.7oz/199ml = $24
Clarins Pure Melt Cleanser 3.9oz/115ml = $30

8–11 Weeks: What to Expect From Your Puppy
How to Get Your Puppy Used to a Crate :: A Guide to Your Puppy's First Round of Vaccines :: Five Steps for Housetraining Your Puppy in (Almost) a Week :: How to Review Your Puppy's Diet for Optimal Health
How to Review Your Puppy's Diet for Optimal Health
Up until now you've probably been following your breeder or rescue agency's recommendations for your puppy's food. While this is a fine and even good thing to do because it gets your pup settled without more changes, it's a good idea to review his nutrition and the amount he is eating at this stage.
A well-nourished puppy is active, alert and has a stable growth rate and a healthy coat. Use these as checks to determine your pup's food quality.
The nutritional requirements for puppies are pretty much across the board while the amount fed varies based on the puppy's breed, gender, age, activity, environment and metabolism. When considering your puppy's nutritional needs, you should look for the correct portions of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and water.
Note that a puppy's protein requirements are much higher than an adult dog's. Your pup will enjoy optimal health by insuring his nutritional needs are met by following a few simple rules.
The ingredients listed on food labels cannot alone be trusted to indicate their true nutritional value.
Look for a statement such as "Meets the nutritional requirements of puppies established by the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO)." This means the nutritional adequacy is based on standards set by the AAFCO.
Ideally, feeding trials for growth have been performed by the manufacturer. Look for a statement such as "Complete and balanced nutrition for growing dogs based on AAFCO feeding."
The best test to see the results of your puppy's food is to watch your puppy. If his skin and coat are healthy, he's alert and active and his growth seems steady, these are, again, good indications that his food is good.
To determine the amount of food your puppy should eat, consider his Body Condition Score (BCS) on a weekly basis. You can do this by performing this simple task: Run your hands along your puppy's ribs. If they are visible with prominent pelvic bones, he is too thin. If his ribs are palpable with heavy fat covering and fat deposits over the base of tail, he is too fat. Ideally, your pup's ribs are palpable and without excess fat covering and his abdomen should be tucked up.
Poor nutrition leads to skin issues, a poor coat and slow or irregular development. Likewise, puppies fed more or less than the correct amount of food are at risk for developing skeletal abnormalities because they grow too slowly or too quickly. Monitor your puppy's body condition and re-evaluate the amount of food every two weeks. It is best to stick with a food once you see good results. Using supplements can actually be harmful unless prescribed by your vet. Though your pup may prefer a dinner of filet mignon and potatoes, a complete and balanced food and plenty of fresh water should be all he needs for optimal health.
Advice from Other Dog Owners
Feed Your Dog at the Same Time Every Day
Feeding at a set time (versus free feeding where food is available all day) is, in my opinion, the best option. Here's what I think are the many benefits:
* It GREATLY helps potty training (you can control/predict potty schedule)
* It helps dogs get PROPER amounts of food (not too much or too little) *eta: in multiple dog households where all dogs have access to the food sources
* Prevents obesity (since you are controlling how much each dog gets and they can't eat someone else's portion)
* Helps the dogs get on a schedule
* Reminds the dog that you are the bearer of all things yum
* Prevents middle of the night "I have to potty"
* Allows you to easily add medication/supplements to individuals' food
* Allows you to vary the meals each dogs get if they have dietary issues
* Provides for a proper schedule if you train with treats so you can be able to work with a dog who is not stuffed from eating all day
* Dogs were not meant to graze all day, they aren't like cows... they digest more efficiently when they get concentrated meals
We free fed for years but since I started really working with the dogs I have found that feeding at set mealtimes is what I much prefer and think it has so many benefits to the minute downside of inconvenience.
~Tena P., owner of Border Collie
Before Starting a Homemade Dog Diet
Be sure to really do your research before feeding any home-prepared diet. Balancing the meals is very important. Look at both sides of the issue, and have a chat with your vet.
~Tiffany C., owner of Papillon mix
Grain in Dog Food
It's not that grains are necessarily bad for your dog, it's that they simply aren't necessary. Dogs can sometimes get some nutrients from high-quality grains, but for the most part, they just make poop!

Great Cruise on the Mariner of the Seas: Mariner of the Seas Cruise Review by cruisetmc
Overall Member Rating
Great Cruise on the Mariner of the Seas
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
We flew in a day early and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Rooms were very nice and the hotel was quiet despite two events going on that evening. They do offer a free shuttle to the cruise port. We used Super Shuttle to get to the hotel. About 3 block from the hotel is a Mexican Restaurant, Green Onion, food was great and fantastic service. There was also a family restaurant we had breakfast at, The Grinder.
Embarkation: The shuttle leaves the hotel every half hour. We were at the port by 11:30 and onboard by noon. Rooms were not available before 1pm. We sat in the promenade and waited for our rooms. Deck 9, room 9636 was our room. The room did have a small refrigerator which was nice to keep a few bottles of we bought onboard for shore excursions. There was plenty of closet space but we were not able to fit the suitcases under the bed. More This floor was a quiet floor and we didn't notice a lot of traffic in the hallways.
Ship: The Mariner lived up to our expectations. We enjoyed setting in the Royal Promenade waiting for dinner. We did walk around the sports deck one day but never stopped to climb the rock wall, play golf, skate, or play basketball. Plenty of opportunity for sports activities on this ship. We did visit the gym several days. Great equipment and they do a good job of offering a wide variety of classes. While we didn't visit the spa, I was selected to model for one of the treatments. We had booked a spa tour in Mazaltan, so we didn't use the ships spa.
Food: We did eat all our evening meals in the Rhapsody in Blue dining room. Our waiters and assistant waiters were excellent. We did not use any of the specialty restaurants, found the food in the dining room to be more than sufficient. The Windjammer did get congested but if you go all the way to the back of the buffet there was a large eating area. While they say it's the same food as the dining room, it was sometimes cold but still we found enough to eat.
Shows: There was a wide variety of entertainment on this cruise. There was any type of music you would want in the bars. One night there was a 70's night in the Royal Promenade. We did go to the majority of the musical shows and they very good. There were several comedians and a juggler that were all good. We did see the ice show and it was fantastic - hard to believe you are on a cruise ship.
Shore Excursions: Our shore excursions were all excellent. We use Cabo Outfitters (booked through Shoretrips.com) for a snorkeling tour that was excellent. There were 5 of us that snorkeled at Chileno Beach, while 4 others in our group left on kayaks. A guide stayed with us in the water making sure we saw all the fish and explaining some of the formations. Leaving there, we went to Santa Maria where we snorkeled again. While we were there the kayakers came in so we were able to see them finish their trip. Again, I would highly recommend this tour for personalized service. In Mazaltan we used Mazaltan Frank for a city/spa tour. The guide (Tomato) picked us up at 8:30 and we didn't get back to the ship till 4:30. He took us all over the older part stopping at churches, art galleries, and the flea markets. We saw the cliff divers. Then we went to the newer section (Gold Zone) where our spa treatments were. The massage was over an hour and was included in our tour. We also toured the Gold Zone. I would definitely do this tour again - it was that good.
In Puerto Vallarta we did the zip lining tour through Los Veranos. We met our guide at the College Disco and picked up others on the way to the zip line. We had never done this and are so glad we did. The guides really earn their money on these tours. Just climbing the hills and helping people across the lines. They did take some people backwards and upside down but we were content just making it across the lines. I did hear a couple say when they were in Costa Rica they were a lot stricter on the lines and they went straight across the line. Really enjoyed doing this and will try it again.
Debarkation We definitely weren't ready to leave. The ship was fantastic, a destination in itself, but the shore excursions also made this trip. Less

What new food trends are in store (the grocery store, that is) for 2008? According to the experts, 2008 might be called the year of ethical eating. Consumers are looking for more locally grown foods that support a healthier environment and a healthier lifestyle.
"Locavore" -- a person who seeks out locally grown and produced foods -- was designated the 2007 word of the year by the New Oxford American Dictionary, and eating locally is also is anticipated to be the biggest food trend of 2008. Experts say we can also expect consumers to think more holistically about their food -- questioning where it came from, its packaging, and its ecological footprint.
Americans are also expected to experiment this year with exotic foods with bold flavors -- like goji berries, yumberries, pomegranates, blood oranges, colored and flavored salts, and grains such as red rice, amaranth, and black quinoa.
And, experts predict we can look forward to more healthy choices on grocery store shelves. People want foods that are convenient, fill them up, taste good, and will help them lose weight, says American Dietetic Association President Connie Diekman, MEd, RD.
