Factors To Consider In Order To Make A Quick Home Sale
When it comes to selling a home, the one thing that stands out is making it as quick as possible. You will find that if a home overstays in the market, it is able to lose its value eventually. When you ask many home owners they will talk about having the homes sell as soon as they introduce it in the market. There are some tips which people who have done this in the past have given concerning a quick sale.
The first thing is to ensure that the price you set the property at in the market is considerable. You will need to consider avoiding raising the prices higher than they should be thinking that it will be good for negotiations. In fact the best way to attract more customers is by ensuring that the property is sold lower than the expected price. This will make you get noticed quickly by potential buyers in the area.
It will be important to consider a case where people have been searching for the properties based on the much they have on their pockets. It is in this manner that they are able to get to see what you have. Consider a case where you will be able to chase the byers when you overprice the property and thus when it stays longer in the market without a buyer then it will lose its value in that case.
Doing Sales The Right Way
Ensure that you have given the buyers a chance to negotiate the prices. You will find that even if it is for a few dollars that will mean that you have to get a buyer. It will be important to consider a case where you are good in negotiating with the client. You will require to see to it that if you are not a good negotiator means that you will have to seek the help of a third party who is good at it. How you talk to your client really matters a lot and it can either make your deal go through or not.
On Homes: My Rationale Explained
You will find that in many cases the people will see your house based on the pictures you have used to advertise. Therefore how the house appears on those pictures people see really matters a lot. You will find that poor quality pictures are not good when exposing these flaws of the house and will send many away. Instead consider hiring a professional who will be able to focus on the strengths of the house in taking the pictures. You will find that many people tend to be attracted by what they see and therefore they do set a date to view it.
It will be important to consider the kind of an agent you use in the process.

Menu Planning may sound like a lot of work, but it's actually one of the laziest things I've ever done. Since I started planning our meals for the week (and eventually the month) I've noticed some improvements in the way we eat and in the way I shop. Knowing what's for dinner not only saves time, it saves money and helps us eat healthier as well.
By planning out the week's meals I can make a more effective list for the grocery store and purchase only those items that we will need for the week. I make fewer impulse and duplicate purchases, and have practically eliminated the mid-week run to the grocery store—not to mention those impromptu take-out nights.
And if you display your menu where the family will see it, you'll never hear the words, "Mom, what's for dinner?" again!

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is determined to clinch a place in the top four next season as well as winning some silverware.
The Italian saw his side finish fifth in the last campaign, just missing out on a Champions League place, while they also reached the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.
"Excited? Yes I am," he told www.mcfc.co.uk. "Even before I see where we finish in the transfer market and which players come here, I think it will be a good season for us."
He added: "I think we have a squad for success, and our supporters deserve this. Last year we did have a good season.
"We didn't get to the Champions League, but we still had a good season. Now it is time that some trophies came to this club."
He added: Mancini has strengthened his squad by bringing in Germany international Jerome Boateng from Hamburg, Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure from Barcelona and Spain's David Silva from Valencia.
Silva has a World Cup final against Holland to look forward to on Sunday while Boateng and Toure were also on duty for their countries in South Africa.
Mancini is pleased with his additions and said: "We have got Boateng, Yaya Toure and David Silva, all three of them are good players. Silva and Boateng are very young, a good investment for the club.
"And Yaya has fantastic experience with Barcelona, where he won a lot of trophies.
"We need to have the players if we want to reduce the gap with the other teams. We need to bring in players with good quality."

Tweeting for the Future: LA2050's Strategy For a Different Los Angeles
It can be difficult to rouse people into taking action in their community, especially in today's highly individualistic society of selfies and social media. 28-year-old Shauna Nep, however, is using Twitter to rally the citizens of Los Angeles and encourage them to better their city one Tweet at a time.
"Most people have this one moment when they realize they want to give back or that they want more meaning out of their work," Nep said, "and I feel like that was always it for me." It's what led the Vancouver native to move thousands of miles away to New York, where she pursued a master's degree in bioethics and studied things like how the design of a lunchroom can influence a child's food choices, how access to public parks can affect a student's path in education and how policy shapes society in general. She has since relocated to L.A., where she's made a career out of her passion for social impact and her knack for mobilizing the masses.
"To me, when you look up, and the sky just goes on forever — that is what L.A. is to me. There are no limits … everyone here has a dream, and that's what's really inspiring," she said before listing a slew of reasons why she loves her present home so much, including its perpetually warm weather and various neighborhoods. "I feel very lucky to work on a project that's so entrenched in its region and invested in its future."
Building a Better Los Angeles
Nep is currently the director of Community and Innovation at LA2050, a grant program run by the Goldhirsh Foundation aimed at transforming L.A. into a healthy, thriving metropolis. This groundbreaking initiative envisions a city in which Angelenos work together to combat issues they deem most crucial. It's Nep's job to engage the public through both offline events and Twitter parties, prompting people to speak out about problems in their community and propose solutions.
In the past, for instance, LA2050 has teamed up with a campaign to legalize street vending in L.A. To spark conversations, Nep began a Twitter party, asking the public a range of questions from something as simple as "Where is your favorite street vendor located?" to more profound queries such as "What are the economic impacts of street vendors?" Just for the record, Nep says her favorite is the Oaxacan Quesadilla Cart in Echo Park. According to her, it sells the best blue corn tortillas.
LA2050's Grant Challenge and the Role of Twitter
The social network also plays a large role in the program's annual grant challenge, in which LA2050 awards $1 million to those who submit the best ideas on how to improve the city. "We asked people to rally their community to vote on the project they thought was the best one," Nep explained. "So social media became critical."
While Twitter's large platform helps @LA2050 promote its annual grant challenge, it also serves as a more immediate means of reaching the city's people. As Nep described, "it's flipping the social impact model on its head," allowing those at LA2050 to ask the community directly what it wants rather than sitting inside an office, shuffling through papers and deciding for themselves. Aside from the grant challenge, Twitter's immediacy also makes it an obvious and very necessary platform for LA2050.
"We felt that L.A., at the time, needed a united online presence, a more united voice and a brand that spoke to millennials and younger generations," Nep says, explaining why the program decided to include Twitter in its digital strategy when it first launched. "We felt like we could plug in and create an online community to talk about some of these issues that aren't always super sexy to talk about, like school lunch and public transportation." And there's no denying the power of a 140-character Tweet and the potency of a hashtag. A quick search on Twitter for "#LA2050" results in city-dwellers calling for everything from a more convenient public transportation system to coding classes for inner-city youth.
"I've seen things that you never could've imagined done before on Twitter — raising awareness for issues that need more signatures, for example," Nep said. And while Twitter has become an essential tool to those in her field, it was a development she had not anticipated.
"I was more used to community organizing, coalition meetings, and [working in] your typical non-profit space, where the Internet is kind of the last thing you think about," she said of her earliest experience in social work. "I certainly didn't anticipate that I would be on Twitter for so much of (my) work." Not that she minds. Nep, who will admit that she is now "obsessed with Twitter," prefers it over any other form of social media because it's a hub for people to voice their sentiments.
Why Twitter?
"Personally for me, it's where I go to express myself, where I'm not afraid to express myself," she said. "Twitter just feels a little bit freer; I don't think I'm going to be judged for [what I post]." Indeed, there is something truly liberating about even a quick 140-character message. "Using social to speak your mind and feel like you're something bigger—it's totally empowering."
While she acknowledged that even though change requires not simply a Tweet or discussion but real action, "Starting a conversation can't be discounted," Nep said. "A Tweet is really great if it gets people engaged, and it gives the power back...I think it can be transformative."
Can Twitter's platform help build a better Los Angeles? @shaunanep of @LA2050 says yes.

Four young kids, including Sung-Min (Lee Hyo-Je) and Soo-Rin (Shin Eun-Soo), take a trip to the mountain together. They plan to sneak into a restricted area to watch a planned explosion. The next day, Soo-Rin is the only one found. A few days later, Sung-Min (Gang Dong-Won) appears again, but he is not the same 13-year-old boy. Sung-Min is now adult.
This movie is a marvel to watch. It gives you a room to breathe your imaginations and experiences the mysterious fantasy that you have never been watched before. The plot is so original and has most unique ways of portraying the concept of time; where you hope you could turn back the clock, but the reality is you can only move forward. I feel this show has the theory of fatalism where we are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do.
The film has a lot of flavors as it deals with the matters of friendship, trust, and love. It has a number of supernatural situations too, but at the same time, it touches the reality when it comes to emotional and psychological issues. The two brilliant main cast never failed to seize their characters and upheld it to the end. You will love them, pity them and walked with them in their journey that is full of mystery.
For those who are skeptics, many holes in the story might be discerned, but for those who are willing to come into this kind of world, then prepare for heart breaking, a little joy moment and an ending which you opts for.
Verdict 10/10

A Guide for Preventing Electrical Construction Hazards While Working
Energy hazards are endless and frequently might occur once you least expected it. Misinformation can cause anything serious, also death, sometimes. Every year you will find about at least 1,000 crashes at work contain burns or electric shocks. You will find around 30 of those instances which are very deadly, with many of them being because of connection with overhead or undercover electricity wires.
If you work in this type of market, you should always make sure that you simply see electrical design security when you go about your entire day-today work regime. Companies and actually the absolute most skilled electricians are subjected to dangers and the hazards of energy while operating, and that's why everybody ought to be conscious of the probable hazards that'll occur.
Why electrical construction accidents happen
Construction sites are highly hazardous due to its atmosphere that is unpleasant, as well as the fact you will see many workers working together with gear and equipment, which are frequently run by energy. The most frequent mistake that this personnel devotes is getting near or focusing on gear that's if the collision occurs and that they thought already are lifeless, nevertheless they there were, in fact, incorrect. Another situation is the fact that you can find individuals with information and no satisfactory education as it pertains to regulations and electrical structure security rules; hence they do not take the required precautions. There's also occasions when electric gear was applied incorrectly.
Stopping problems that are electrical
The initial step to stopping dangers and these risks from happening will be usually accountable. Like being an electrician or an employee, you have to know about lawful responsibilities and the responsibilities that the occupation includes. It's your ethical duty to adhere to regulations and these rules to safeguard your protection and of course, the co's safety, as well. Electric methods ought to be built precisely to avoid hazards. Evaluation and standard maintenance also needs to be achieved to ensure that the system is performing correctly as expected.
Regarding any electrical equipment, only those people who are qualified and certified enough must be the people work or to use the equipment. Do not take the risk and merely, if you believe you may not have enough understanding of it abandon an individual who is experienced enough to deal with the job with it. To ensure that overloading will not happen there should be enough outlets and sockets across the workshop. Plugs aren't suggested in electric building websites when overloaded because it can result in fire occurrences.
Decrease if you're able to or reduce the voltage of energy because it assists in removing the chance of electric shocks and burns. When the gear is not suitable and already bad for use, remove it off the workplace immediately, or at least have it defined as "Do Not Utilize" for different workers' research.

When I read last week on HuffingtonPost.com that Nancy Cartwright, a.k.a. the voice of Bart Simpson and devoted Scientologist, was making robocalls on behalf of a church event in the voice of everyone's favorite 10 year-old troublemaker, I was curious to see what response Twentieth Century Fox* would have.
Back in the early days of the Internet the company aggressively pursued fan sites that used images, videos, and audio clips, and I was curious to see how they would be dealing with one of their own using the beloved copyrighted character to promote an outside organization's event.
Audio of the call, which was posted on YouTube and featured on PerezHilton.com, TMZ.com, and many other celeb sites, was quickly pulled and replaced with a "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Twentieth Century Fox" message. Although the recording can still be found on other websites.
Cartwright, who is currently auditing on OT VII, invites fellow Scientologists to the Flag World Tour event at the Hollywood and Highland Center, sprinkling the message with Bartisms and punctuating the message with his famous laugh. Listening to the call is an odd experience as Cartwright's natural voice is so close to that of the Bart character's that it's hard to tell where one starts and the other begins. It's as if Mel Gibson had left you a voice mail promoting traditionalist Catholicism in the voice of Rocky from "Chicken Run." Just not right.
Many media outlets are reporting that Fox's legal department is quietly looking into the matter, but executive producer Al Jean responded to the matter saying, "This is not authorized by us. The Simpsons does not, and never has, endorsed any religion, philosophy or system of beliefs any more profound than Butterfinger bars."
In fact, "The Simpsons" often satirizes and points out foibles of organized religion, skewering all belief systems from Christianity to charismatic cults such as the …ehem … Movementarians in "The Joy of Sect" episode.
There has been quite a bit of uproar about the robocall and its implication that Bart Simpson endorses Scientology; publicity the controversial church could surely do without. Which leads me to wonder why a church, which itself is litigiously formidable, would allow such a robocall. Did the people who put the promotion together really think that in this day and age of iPhones and YouTube only non-Scientologists would hear the message?
Apparently so.
"We called the phone number for the event that Nancy gives out," reports TMZ.com, "and the person who answered was surprised a non-Scientologist got the message — thanks, YouTube."
Then again, in Hollywood, any publicity can be good publicity.

St. Pietersberg hill package
Combine a unique boat trip with a delicious lunch at the Buitengoed Slavante country house and a fascinating tour of the caves of St. Pieter. The St. Pietersberg hill is a unique part of the Limburg countryside. This package introduces you to the area and provides a fantastic outing for your entire team or family!
This programme lasting almost four hours begins with a charming boat trip upriver to the foot of the beautiful St. Pietersberg hill. The tour takes you past the historic St. Servatius bridge, the Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek, part of the first city wall of Maastricht (dating back to 1229), the new Céramique city district with the Bonnefantenmuseum and the Gouvernement (provincial government) building. You will disembark at the St. Pietersberg hill for a short walk up the steep hill to the beautiful location of the Buitengoed Slavante country house. This is where the tour of the hill's caves begins, accompanied by a Tourist Board guide. Depending on the time of day, a sumptuous 'Lunch Maastricht' will be served at Buitengoed Slavante either before or after the tour of the caves. You will then walk back to the landing stage for the second part of the boat trip. Just before reaching the Belgian border, the boat turns around and returns to the centre of Maastricht at the end of the programme. This is a delightful excursion in the countryside just outside Maastricht that strikes the perfect balance between activity and relaxation. In other words, this programme is all about enjoyment!
Price: € 33.80 per person (children: € 21.30 p.p.) This price is based on a group of 10 people. It can be booked, however, for any number of participants (starting price € 338.00).
Duration: 4 hours
Extra details: Max. 50 people. Not available on Sundays.

After looking at myself at a couple photos recently, I kinda gasped! Why are my hips so massive! And we all know, they don't lie– Thanks a lot for that Shakira, Shakira. The truth was staring back at me and I had to look away and do something to get healthier and focus on a cleaner lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I know being thin doesn't necessarily mean healthy, but I know when I'm slacking and when I've gotten to the point of no return. And I was there! To get myself on track, I decided to give my digestive system a break by cutting off alcohol and non-clean foods and starting a cleanse to reboot my system. Trust me, I completely understand that there's a 1,000 things that will get in the way when you make this commitment. You're talking to a MAJOR foodie (hello..Fashfoodies) and a restaurant publicist. Food is in my DNA and a major part of my lifestyle and JOB! I actually had a four-course dinner planned in the middle of this that I had to attend. If that's not a tease, I don't know what is! But, I made the commitment and wanted to see it through and more importantly I was motivated to see results!
When I think about the diets I've tried, I think about a black chalkboard that you keep trying to erase with the same eraser, but the residue from the white chalk stays on the board and just gets more cloudy. Basically, nothing was working! In order to completely wipe the chalkboard clean, I needed a washcloth (thanks JUS by Julie)! So I prepared my chalkboard (body) for a cleanse by prepping a couple days beforehand, which is ESSENTIAL for a successful cleanse– the detoxification process is challenging so you want to make this as easy as possible. To help curve cravings for solid food during the cleanse, it's recommended to refrain from sugar, wheat, alcohol, nicotine, coffee, meat and dairy at least two days before your first sip. Some of these tips are included in the packet when you decide to start a cleanse, but to dig a little deeper and tap into an expert's opinion, I decided to ask Julie Maleh who is a certified nutritionalist and founder of JUS by Julie. Maleh helped steer me in the right direction and gave me some great tips to know what to expect from the cleanse, as well as the difference between a juice press and her blends, which seemed thicker and more fulfilling (yes, I've tried a cleanse before). If you're ready to feel lighter, leaner, more focused and gain natural energy to lead a healthier lifestyle, continuing reading to learn how to get started. Worked for me! Plus, I know what you'll be doing all Memorial Weekend.. no way rosé!
How does Jus by Julie differ from other juices?
All our JUSes are freshly made every morning through our unique blending process that is designed to maintain the fiber of all the ingredients, as this will help your body feel full and nourished all day long. We include the entire fruit and vegetable, while cold pressed juices discard all the natural fiber and pulp necessary for detoxification. The fiber in our JUSes assist in carrying out the toxins from the body, while also helping to avoid blood sugar crashes, by helping to stabilize your blood sugar. The protein also helps fill you up and keep you satisfied.
What are some of the nutritional benefits of juicing?
JUS: Some of the benefits of drinking JUSes include increasing your intake of greens in an easy way while also replacing the unhealthier foods you may be eating. JUSing also provides an influx of nutrients that our body craves.
What are ideal expectations people should have when juicing?
JUS: When you are juicing you can expect to feel hunger pains and slight weakness on the first day as your body may not be used to it. By the second and third day, your body should feel rejuvenated and refreshed. You may experience more frequent urination as well due to the consumption of 96 oz of fluids.
What are some of the results you should expect from a cleanse?
While our cleanse is designed to detox your body and not designed to lose weight, most cleansers do experience weight loss as a side effect. Cleansers also feel lighter and healthier as a result of our JUS cleanse.
What is the best way to prep for a cleanse?
JUS: The best way to prep for a cleanse is to consume a lot of fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean protein before, and try to stay away from junk food so your body does not feel deprived when cleansing.
On your pamphlet you offer meal options. Are those recommended snacks to enjoy during your cleanse or after? If they're recommended for during, why do you recommend small meals vs some juice cleanses that require you to only have the juice alone?
JUS: The pamphlet with instructions during the cleanse only allows small snacks, but no meals during the cleanse. If you feel like you must chew or snack on something, you may eat cucumber sticks, celery sticks, or romaine lettuce as well as steamed vegetables. If you feel hungry around dinner time you may consume two egg whites. You may drink water on the cleanse, as well as your morning coffee (with a natural sweetener such as Truvia or Stevia). It is strongly recommended to stick strictly to the JUS and stay away from any solid foods, in order to receive the maximum benefits of the cleanse. We also include a post cleanse meal plan with our cleanses with recommended meals to help keep you on a healthy track after your cleanse.
What is the significance of drinking the juices by number order?
JUS: The JUSes are numbered in a specific order for maximum detoxification. By starting your day with a large amount of greens from our Morning Glory JUS, your body jump starts its metabolism and detoxification. Each JUS is designed to mimic a meal or snack so the JUSes alternate between hearty, thick JUSes to lighter JUSes as well.
How are you supposed to approach food after you're finished?
Once your cleanse is over, we recommend eating lots of fresh produce and lean proteins, as well as incorporating individual JUSes into your diet as a snack or meal replacement.

Researchers have identified certain things students can do to ensure success in college. Ironically students are often unaware of what these "persistence factors" – or keys to success – are and how much they really matter. Here are 22 basic things you can do to thrive in college.
1. Find and get to know one adult on campus who knows who you are and who cares about your survival. One person is all it takes. It might be the leader of your freshman seminar class or some other professor, an academic advisor, or someone at the career or counseling center.
2. Learn what helping resources your campus offers and where they are located. Most campuses have career planning offices, personal counseling centers, and academic skills centers, as well as many other resources.
3. Understand why you are in college. Your college experience will be much more productive if you can identify specific goals you wish to accomplish.
4. Set up a daily schedule and stick to it. When no one is around to tell you when to study or when to sleep, you need to do this for yourself. If you can't do it alone, find someone on campus who can help - perhaps someone in your academic skills or counseling center.
5. If you are attending classes full time (12 - 15 hours per semester) don't work more than 15 hours a week. Most people begin a downhill slide in the quality of learning beyond 15 hours. Don't be one of them. If you need more money borrow it from a reliable source or talk to a financial aid officer. Try to work on campus. Students who work on campus tend to do better in classes and are more likely to stay enrolled than those working off campus.
6. Treat your academics as your job. Follow this rule of thumb: for every hour you spend in class or lecture, plan to spend 2.5 hours in outside study. Thus twelve hours of weekly class time will require 30 hours of additional study.
7. Assess and improve your study habits. In integral part of your success in college involves assessing your own learning style, taking better notes in class, reading more efficiently, and doing better on tests. If your campus has an academic skills center (most do), visit it.
8. Choose professors who involve you in the learning process. Attend classes in which you can actively participate. You will probably learn more, more easily and more enjoyably.
9. Know how to use the campus library. The library isn't as formidable as it might seem, and it offers a wealth of information and resources.
10. Improve your writing. Your writing skills will serve you well throughout your life if you take some pains now to improve and secure them. Write something every day - the more you write, the better you'll write. Remember writing is for life, not only for Eng. 101.
11. Develop critical thinking skills. Challenge. Ask why. Look for unusual problems. There are few absolutely right and wrong answers in life, but some answers come closer to being more "truthful" than others.
12. Find a great academic advisor and fight to keep him or her. The right advisor can be an invaluable source of support, guidance, and insight throughout your college years. It's common to switch your advisor, from the one you were initially assigned to one of your own choosing, after a semester or two or three, once you've gotten more familiar with your college's departments and faculty members.
13. Visit the career center early – don't wait till your senior year. Even if you think you have chosen your academic major, the career center may offer valuable information about careers and about yourself.
14. Make one or two close friends among your peers. College represents a chance to form new and lasting ties. It also offers great diversity in terms of the people on your campus. Choose your friends for their own self-worth, and not for what they can do for you. Remember in college, as in life, you become like those with whom you associate.
15. Learn how to be assertive. Standing up for yourself is an invaluable skill. You can learn how to respect the rights of others and have others learn to respect your rights.
16. Get involved in a least one campus activity outside of the classroom. Work for the campus newspaper or radio station. Play intramural sports. Join a club. Most campus organizations are looking for new students. Check them out during orientation / new student registration periods.
17. Take your health seriously. How much sleep you get, what you eat, whether you exercise, and the kinds of decisions you make about alcohol, drugs and sex all contribute to how well or unwell you feel. Get in to the habit of being good to yourself and you will be both a happier person and a more successful student.
18. If you can't avoid stress, learn how to live with it. While stress is an inevitable part of modern life, there are many ways of dealing with it. Your counseling center can introduce you to techniques that will help you worry less and study more.
19. Show up for class. Professors tend to test on what they discuss in class, as well as grade in part on the basis of class attendance (and participation). Take your new freedom seriously and responsibly.
20. Remember that you are not alone. Thousands of other first year students are facing the same uncertainties as you are facing. There is strength in numbers, Find a support network and use it.
21. Learn to appreciate yourself more, and to forgive yourself for mistakes you will make. Hey, you got this far, you can do the rest.
22. Try to have realistic expectations. At first you may not make the same grades you made in high school. Or if you were a star athlete in high school, you might not be anything special in college. You can still expect the best from yourself and learn how to deliver it.

Who among us hasn't purchased something we neither need nor particularly want because in the moment it seems like something we must have?
For some it's clothes or shoes. For me it's the pile of electronics sitting unused in my basement and the unceasing desire to buy a new phone even though I'm happy with the one I have. In some cases it's overspending on big purchases -- buying a house that is bigger than you need or taking a trip you can't really afford.
It's not just you. It's a pattern of overconsumption known as "affluenza," and it's a growing problem.
What is Affluenza?
"It's the virus of overconsumption," said John de Graaf, co-author of Affluenza: How Overconsumption Is Killing Us -- and How to Fight Back in an email interview with the Fool. "It leads to waste, anxiety, social disconnection, overwork and such symptoms as 'swollen expectations,' 'shopping fever,' 'industrial diarrhea,' 'community chills,' and "resource exhaustion.' It carriers include advertising, and unrealistic media portrayals of the average American. Children are particularly susceptible to this virus."
It is, of course, not a real virus, but the impact can be real. Affluenza can even lead to poor investing decisions, according to de Graaf.
"It certainly has in many cases," he said. "It leads to a 'get rich quick' mentality that often leads to poorly thought-out speculation. It sharply depletes savings rates. It led many people to over-invest in big homes and second mortgages, with disastrous results for them and ultimately for all of us."
Affluenza has become such an accepted term that it has popped up in the court system as a defense for all manner of crimes. In one Texas drunken driving cases, a psychologist witness claimed the teen defendant "was a victim of 'affluenza' -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy," CNN reported.
The "Affleunza Defense" is not limited to that case. It has been used as an excuse/justification by defense attorneys all over the country, mostly as a way to get lighter sentences for their clients.
Affluenza can hurt the planet
For most people, affluenza doesn't involve a courtroom. But it's not just our bank accounts that can be hurt by overconsumption; the practice can literally be bad for the Earth.
"The biggest effect is the impact on our environment, both through over-use of resources and pollution/waste generation," the author said. "We are already in annual overshoot of Earth's limits in terms of what the planet can renew each year."
De Graaf also believes the desire to spend on personal items even when they make no sense impacts the public sector. He said it encourages an individualistic, anti-tax approach as people want to spend all their money on private goods. That can be bad for not only the planet and more locally, the community, it can also be bad for the individual's health.
"That depletes our public goods such as education, spending on parks, social services and so forth," he added. "It also leads us to work far more than is good for our health, resulting in extra stress and costly treatments. And it doesn't work; people with a materialistic orientation to life consistently report lower life satisfaction than people who are less materialistic."
Overconsumption is bad for the economy
Affluenza was not the sole cause of the 2008 economic crash, but it was an important factor, which was exacerbated by the deregulation of banking and other developments, de Graff said.
"Affluenza also harms our balance of trade as we buy more and more cheap foreign products and go deeper in debt to pay for them," he added. "It is one of the world's few socially sanctioned addictions. the focus on private consumer goods also weakens social connection and social capital."
The author acknowledged that this harm does not always show up in GDP and other traditional economic figures, which he considers poor measurements of economic success because they "count anything as an economic 'good' if money is spent on it."
Those figures leave out "the negative externalities of affluenza -- health costs, environmental clean-ups, mental health costs, prisons, rapid waste of natural resources, for example -- are generally counted as a plus in GDP," he stated. "We can't fully know the economic impacts till we get a true measure of what economic progress is."
Is there a cure for Affluenza?
While affluenza is not a real disease, it still needs to be treated, and de Graff has a prescription for anyone so afflicted.
"It's simple," he said. "The best things in life aren't things."

It's funny because my cooking almost always comes out the best when it's not planned or measured. So, I'll give you my best shot at sharing what I did tonight. If you try it, please let me know how it works out for you!
I'd also like to add, that our *official* Paleo Cooking at Home program is over. Tomorrow Eddie has an appointment with our family osteopath and we will be discussing diet further with her. There are definitely some things we'll be keeping around, such as some meats.. and then of course we'll still indulge in our occasional "treats."
All in all, I have been extremely pleased with where our Paleo venture has taken us. I think all of us have benefited from it in some way or another. It has taken me back into the kitchen and I am going to be sharing lots more of my ventures in food with you again. It is something I have truly missed over the past year and where my passion truly lies.
So, here's that crazy crust I threw together! :)
Cauliflower Crusted Pizza
1 small head of cauliflower, blended in a food processor or Vitamix.
1/4 C whole flax seeds
1/4 C coconut flour
(you can use your own choices of flours: flax, almond, coconut, etc.)
(you can use your own choices of flours: flax, almond, coconut, etc.)
1/8 C or less nutritional yeast
3 eggs
3 oz. tomato paste (optional)
2-3 tbsp. coconut oil
Salt & pepper
Mix all ingredients together. It will have a thick, pasty texture.
Coat cooking sheet with plenty of coconut oil and spread the mixture thinly and evenly on pan.
Cook the crust by itself at 400* for about 20 minutes, until it begins to brown.
Take out and top with homemade pizza sauce and your favorite toppings. I was working with limited options tonight because I need to go shopping. I used a cheese blend because it was all I had, but I prefer shredding my own mozzarella.
Bake again at 400* for about 10-15 minutes.
Because this isn't your typical pizza dough, you might not be able to pick it up with your hands to eat it. It just depends on your toppings, your cooking sheet and how your oven cooks it. Either way, you should be able to serve easily with a spatula and ENJOY!! :)

I think I mentioned that I was starting to get a little weary of this color scheme...I lied.
I love it! Can't get enough, especially combined with gold and baby girls.
I used the June Sketch from My Mind's Eye for this layout and the new collection 'Find Your Wings and Fly'...might be my all time favorite from MME, or at least a close second to 'Follow Your Heart!'
It is gorgeous and full of my favorite colors and patterns...lots of lovely B sides with polka dots and chevrons! Yummy. And I loved these phrase stickers, they actually made me reach for these
old photos...over 8 years old :( of my daughter learning to walk!
I made a process video which you can find on My YouTube channel or by clicking the video below!
I mixed some acrylic paints with modeling paste and layered it over this awesome stencil from the Crafter's Workshop. I held in place with washi and it worked beautifully...lots of structure and it dried a lot
faster than I would have thought. I will be reaching for it a lot!!
The title is sort of a play on that, and I am not making fun of her at all but she inherited her mother's grace, I mean lack of! But, she never gave up and she fell a LOT. But she always jumped right back up...
Still fits her personality today and it is one of the things I am most proud of.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope this layout of the video inspired you
to try something new on your backgrounds! Happy crafting!

It was a climactic and inspiring weekend for Lift. After months of anticipation, TEDxPhnomPenh finally happened, and it was awesome. Lift senior writer Kounila Keo wowed the crowd with her talk about blogging, and the winner of our essay contest, Hoem Seiha, gave a great presentation on his idea to start an education watchdog for Cambodian schools (they will both be online soon).
The other speakers were awesome as well. You can read Lift senior writer Tharum Bun's liveblog of the event for Voice of America at blogs.voanews.com/khmer-english/musings/, and check out our review of the talks in this issue (page 10).
As always, we have plenty of ideas for making the Kingdom better. Tivea Koam argues that men need to take it easy when they hit the bottle (page 5), and our cover feature looks at expensive universities and asks "are they worth the extra cash?" (page 6). We also want to hear your view of the border situation at facebook.com/liftcambodia.

With all the budget talk, taxes and general fear and despair in the city of Philadelphia, I thought I ought to tip my hat to some of the greatest ladies I've run into in a while. I'll name no names to protect the awesome.
My legal name change went through in August but in order to take care of any of my identity documents I would first have to go to City Hall to get a certified copy. Not only did this cost over $40 after a long process that has nickle and dimed me to death, but I in no way felt like dealing with City Hall. For those that have never been, Philadelphia City Hall is an enormous building and incredibly physically daunting. It just felt like an intimidating and grossly overwhelming endeavor. After weeks of dragging my feet I finally steeled my reserve to just get it taken care of.
I rode my bike straight up Broad Street, entered where I had when I had attended my hearing. I prepared for what would hopefully be one of the last times I would have to show my ID and get a name tag that said "Elizabeth." However, this time no one asked. I just got a sticker that said Eli.
I went up to room 269 expecting a long line but instead walked right up to the counter. This efficiency was tempered by a sign on the wall that said all certified copies would be ready for pick up in 3-5 days. I cringed at the thought of having to psyche myself up all over again to enter the building. I handed the women my paper and said I needed a certified copy. I bit my lower lip as I watched her read the paper that lays way too much of my life bare and exposed. She looked up, said "$42," and immediately went to make copies.
"Is it less expensive if I buy two copies at the same time?" I asked.
"Yes. Two copies would be $83.64," she said with a coy glint in her eye. I smiled and said I'd pass on that "deal" and just take the one. While she went to make the copies I joked with her co-worker finally giving in to feeling a bit of comfort about the way things were going. The first woman sat back down and asked when my birthday was--I assumed for official reasons though no where on my documents is my birthday listed.
"Get out!"
"That your birthday?" her coworker asked.
"No, mine's the 21st. His is just two days after Valentines Day," she said.
"I'm always getting cheated on Valentines Day presents," I chimed in, her use of 'his' ringing in my ears.
"At least it's not in December," she said, "I always felt bad for those people in December." I nod as she signs the papers in front of her. She then looks up and smiles. "Well, I'm going to say to you--Merry Christmas," and she stamps the embosser, "Happy Valentines Day," she stamps it again, "and Happy Birthday," and again. She hands me some paper and holds up three fingers. "Always keep one for yourself," she tells me.
I thank her with a look of shocked amazement. Something free from City Hall? I didn't think that was possible. I left room 269 and walked out into the cavernous hallway. It was a small success in the grand scheme of things but somehow it felt like so much more.

A Line in the Sand Revisited
I had just been thinking of the Semenya story (the runner with ambiguous gender) today and wondered what ever came of it. Someone brought it up at dinner and I heard some of the rumors. Then a friend posted this link and asked what are they doing to this girl?
Turns out she may be gender variant. Read the story. I've already said most of my thoughts in my origional post (linked above) but I think the last line of the video is the most interesting--"if she didn't know, she wasn't cheating. it's not like she was taking drugs" (quoted very loosely). There are, again, so many bigger theoretical questions but now, in the very base level of competition, I am also wondering--if she is "mostly male" (whatever that means) and were to compete with the boys--how would she do? Even better--assert she is a woman and say fuck all you all and race the men. We could use another Billy Jean King!

Any difficulty . a lot of people that start a internet site on the internet have no idea what they are doing, or how to do it! That's a pity!
Designing a website isn't a simple process, but it isn't that difficult possibly. It's a great organized procedure that starts with an idea of what you want to share with your potential customers about within your web pages.
An outstanding method of designing a website uses what you want to share with your prospective, one step at a time. Keeping it simple, and simple to read. Work with Black Textual content on a Light Background which has a minimum of images on the main page. You don't want any kind of animations or perhaps music articles in the web pages unless you understand it will help to offer your product!
Your page is the Advertisement for your website, and should be easy to read, and with as handful of links as possible going out via it. This page is the Front Door, and it must currently have content onto it that will Pick up your visitor's attention, and hold all their interest very long to find them interested in the remaining of your site. It's just like a Million Dollar Sales copy with a few links to other regions of the sales copy.
In the web page there should be a great attention grabbing fonction about a benefit for the chance. Your visitor is looking for everything you have to offer, or they wouldn't be there thus grab the attention, and present them a Major benefit just for Reading whatever you have to offer. The chance has some difficulty that they are trying to find the solution to. Provide Rewards for them that will allow them to to solve their particular problem.
In your body of the webpage have more rewards that will help the chance solve all their problems while easily as it can be. Make your text message as easy intended for the prospect to comprehend as possible, and write about your Prospect.
In the event you sell more than one item, or product and the goods and services need a great description of every, then build an online page for each and every product and pack every single web page with as much info on how the product works, or how your service plan can benefit these people. The more info on your products, or solutions, the better!
Using this method of packing every single page with Beneficial details about your goods, or providers will attain two things concurrently:
First would it be will provide your customer while using information they are looking for that can make the difference between them simply clicking the Back key, and buying your products, or perhaps services!
Second is it offers you a much better probability of getting a good position in the search engines, and getting your website more being exposed, and more sinks into.
I have looked over the background of many of the top rated ranking pages in the search engines, and also have found www.kamataschool.com that a lot of often the pages have little or no if any kind of meta tags in them! They will aren't making use of the keywords, or perhaps description the meta tag, and yet they may have the top positions – without paying for them! These types of pages possess benefit crammed text about their products that gets these people the top spot.
I have needed to switch web server companies a few times because of stability problems both with the hardware hardware, or software, and it looks like We'll have to transition again genuine soon due to reliability problems. If you are looking for a good net space professional checks these people out carefully before planning, or copying a domain to them. Make sure that the server company supplies customer suggestions that you can verify by contacting their customers!
It not do any very good to have a fabulous website in case your virtual server is straight down most of the time! I have gone through that and it isn't entertaining when you type your website WEB ADDRESS and find out that your server is straight down During Optimum Hours! This provides the time you require the web server to be in the most, and is also when the money is made.

My Genes Made Me Do It
Total CE Credit Hours: 2
Course Info URL: http://www.addictioncounselorce.com/courses/101552
This is a classic course. Addiction Counselor CE retains a small number of "Classic Courses". These courses are based on materials that have an older publication date, but that retain enduring learning value and relevance today. We can recommend this course as valuable, but if you are looking for more recent material you might wish to choose a different one.
About the Course:
Note: M. Stanton Peele has been a voice in the field of alcohol and drug problems for many decades. His viewpoints are thought provoking and sometimes controversial. It is not required that all professionals agree with his perspectives. At a minimum however, the thoughtful professional must consider and address the challenging concepts Peele sets forth in his writings.
Note: We offer a number of courses based on Peele's writings. If interested, simply enter M. Stanton Peele into the Search bar.
Americans are increasingly likely to attribute their own – and others' – behavior to innate biological causes. However, the quest for genetic explanations of why we do what we do may more accurately reflect the desire for hard certainties about frightening societal problems than the true complexities of human affairs. This article discusses the revolution in thinking about genes and the consequences for how we view ourselves.
Publication Date:
July/August 1995
Stanton Peele; Richard DeGrandpre
About the Authors:
Stanton Peele has been investigating, thinking, and writing about addiction since 1969. His first bombshell book, Love and Addiction, appeared in 1975. Its experiential and environmental approach to addiction revolutionized thinking on the subject by indicating that addiction is not limited to narcotics, or to drugs at all, and that addiction is a pattern of behavior and experience which is best understood by examining an individual's relationship with his/her world.
Richard DeGrandpre is associated with the Department of Psychology, Saint Michael's College, in Colchester, Vermont.
Recommended For:
This course is recommended for health care professionals, especially addiction counselors, psychologists, mental health counselors, social workers, and nurses who seek knowledge about genetic factors in human behavior. It is appropriate for all levels of participants' knowledge.
Course Objectives:
Describe current assumptions about genes and human behavior and how reactions to genetic claims can be influenced by popular culture.
Explain the human genome project, the study of genes for mental illness, and models of how genetic factors may influence behavior.
Report on genetic ties to obesity, the role genetic discoveries have played in finding cures for diseases, and the method of studying behavior genetics.
Discuss the inheritance of homosexuality and everyday psychological traits, discuss possible ramifications of the belief that traits are pre-determined, and discuss models for viewing the relationship between nature and nurture.
Exam Questions
All exam questions for the course are visible on this page for members of Addiction Counselor CE.
Membership is free, and you can sign up today! You'll only pay when you're ready to purchase a course.

ABSTRACT FOUCAULT, FEMINISM, AND ROYCE Kara McCollum Southern Illinois University-Carbondale In this paper I use Foucault's ideas to discuss the current medical management of intersexed infants in the United States. Secondly, I discuss how marxism and essentialism share the same predicament of falling into the `patriarchal trap' of narrowingly defining women's identities, their roles in society, and omitting or undervaluing their contributions. Finally, I give an exegesis of the events of the `Royce-Abbot Affair.' I provide an understanding of these events by drawing on wide-ranging interpretations, critiquing each account, and offering my own interpretation.

The pupils of Lviv school №18 and students of Lviv State University of Internal Affairs congratulated lonely elderly women from geriatric boarding house with the Day of Spring. Volunteers by their own created paper flowers, elderly women were treated by fruit and sweets. In December 2014 on the occasion of St. Nicholas Day the action "For a Grandmother and a Grandfather" was held for the residents of the home for the elderly. Pupils from school №18 presented a concert and gave the elders cookies and candies as well as warmth of their hearts and unforgettable holiday!

stick and poke!
When I was 14 I did my first tattoo on myself. I used a sewing needle and india ink. for a couple years my friends and I hand poked awful little tattoos on each other. Years and years went by before I learned to legitimately tattoo but once I began to learn I wanted to have a go at hand poking one again. I have done a few and am pretty stoked at how they look and heal and age. My buddy One Arm Willy (a.k.a. the arm) has one of my earliest teenage attempts at stick and poke. But tonight I think I redeemed myself by hand poking this jammer on him.
Here is another one just for perspective.

Opening in theatres this Friday from director Benh Zeitlin and Court 13 Pictures comes a look inside the mind of a child who sees BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.
This film tells the story of Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis), a six-year-old girl living with her father Wink (Dwight Henry) in a place in the Southern Delta they call The Bathtub.
Wink is ill and tries to prepare Hushpuppy with tough love and the ability to take care of herself. But in Hush Puppy's world things are now out of whack as a prehistoric beast known as aurochs have been released from the polar ice caps. The storm comes for The Bathtub and everyone in it.
With everyone so out of sorts for Hushpuppy, she goes in search of her long lost mother to help set things right. In a moment her life comes into focus as she takes on everything that lay in front of her, even the aurochs.
FINAL WORD: Wallis is an amazing child! This is her first role and she definitely is a force to be reckoned with. There are such harsh and sad themes in this film for a child her age to even grasp let alone be able to portray is stellar. I have met this young girl and she is funny, smart and tough – everything her character needed to be. Watching her melt her fantasy life in with reality is something only a child can do the way Wallis does as she makes it all "fit just right".
Henry as her father Wink is equally riveting to watch as he hides everything from Hushpuppy. As a father doing the best he can, Henry shows moments of heart that are heartbreaking. This first time actor is actually the owner of a bakery in New Orleans who believes that director Zeitlin must have "seen something in me that I didn't see in myself" to be asked to do this role. Also having been in the same room with the gentleman he is funny, loved to talk about his home in the south and enjoyed playing the role.
Director Zeitlin captures such beauty in an ugly place. The emotions are taken to the rawest place for the viewer watching Hushpuppy living her life. It is not easy to watch a child go through such hardships without wanting to reach out, grab her and take her away from it all. By the films end it is a question of who needs saving – her or the viewer.
Other cast include: Levy Easterly as Jean Battiste, Lowell Landes as Walrus, Pamela Harper as Little Jo, Gina Montana as Miss Bathsheeba, Amber Henry as LZA, Jonshel Alexander as Joy Strong, Joseph Brown as Winston, Henry D. Coleman as Peter T, Kaliana Brower as T-Lou, Philip Lawrence as Dr. Maloney and Jimmy Lee Moore as Sgt. Major.
TUBS OF POPCORN: I give BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD four tubs of popcorn out of five. This truly is an amazing piece of filmmaking. It is nice to have a film surprise you with all it has to offer. From an amazing young lady to a savvy baker-man along with a quirky cast, it seems all of them fit just right into there roles giving us a wonderful film that deserves so much recognition.
The director also proved that good filmmaking can be done without spending millions of dollars. I'm sure director Zeitlin wouldn't mind a few more bucks for his next project and I hope he gets it. The simplicity of this film is wonderful and allows the viewer to become part of the emotional story on the screen.
In the end – so many things can happen in The Bathtub.
JustinSeptember 27, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Wonderful, detailed rvieew! I saw this movie as well, in Nashville, at just about our only progressive theater (the other theaters often won't have films such as this it is too controversial').Mr. Parker, the co-producer, was there along with Mr. Henry ( Wink ) and answered audience questions. Later, Mr Parker clarified some of the details which had confused me: the beasts were meant to represent global climate change (I took them to be the overbearing government outside of the Bathtub). The plot was meant to be interpreted, more or less, by the viewer and to cause people to think about our preconceived notions of many cultural norms. And, Mr. Henry, from New Orleans, explained there is a real Bathtub which is an island off the coast. Once inhabited by 300 families and about 30 by 30 miles in size, it is now about 3 miles square and inhabited by only 20 to 30 families. Hushpuppy's experiences are based, somewhat, on real life.And that was the shocker to me!Thanks for visiting my blog to read what I had to say (not nearly so detailed and expert!) about the movie. I am a 67 year old, retired grandmother (I am not from the South, but I was a stockbroker for a while financial industry, your field of study, interesting coincidence? by the way) who likes to see intriguing movies. Thanks for the great write up!
