Kota Bharu, MalaysiaKirsty Turner
Although the city of Kota Bahru is often overlooked by visitors to the north of Malaysia, those who take the time to explore will find that there is plenty to see and do here. Kota Bahru is often referred to as the Islamic City, and this is the perfect place to get a feel for the rich history and culture of this part of the world.
Kota Bahru boasts a number of vibrant markets, which are ideal places to indulge in a spot of people watching, while those who are in search of something cheap and tasty will also find some of the best selections of eateries scattered in and around the city's markets.
Wander around Independence Square – Padang Merdek – and you will find a large number of museums and the Balai Besar or Royal Palace. This elegant building is a great place to explore, while nearby is the interesting octagonal building of the Pesar Besar central market.
When it comes to seeing the sights, Kota Bahru features a number of interesting places of worship, and while most are devoted to the Muslim faith, there are also a few Buddhist temples to explore here. Sun worshippers will also be in their element, as a few pristine stretches of sand can be found on the outskirts of the city.
A great way to see the area around Kota Bharu is to embark on a two hour river cruise along Sungai Galas down to Dabong. Rafting along the river is also popular and trips can easily be arranged.
Another good excursion is the Stong Waterfall, which about 900 metres high and is said to be the highest waterfall in Southeast Asia. Combine a trip to the waterfall with a visit to the impressive collection of caves at Gua Ikan, before finishing the day with a delicious, cheap evening meal at the night market, known as Pasar Malam in the Malay language.
While the people of this conservative city are welcoming towards visitors, it is best to follow the example set by those who live here and cover up. Women in particular are advised to dress conservatively, and it is also best to avoid making public displays of affection, as this is likely to cause offense.

Prenatal Multi Gold
Multivitamins are supplements that contain an array of vitamins and minerals. Although a healthy and varied diet is the best way to get all of the nutrients the body needs, that is not always a reality. People suffering from disease or illness, older people, those with specific dietary restrictions or limited variety in their diet, and pregnant or lactating women are often not getting all of the vitamins and minerals that they need from food sources. In these cases, supplementation can fill nutritional gaps and keep the body from deficiency. Most commercially available multivitamin supplements feature vitamins either as synthetic isolates, which include vitamins created wholly in a lab from industrial chemicals and solvents; fermented nutrients, which are created by taking synthetic vitamin isolates and making them more bioavailable by fermenting them in nutritional yeast and/or probiotics; and/or whole-food/food-sourced nutrients, which are vitamins concentrated from natural food sources (e.g. herbs, fruits, spices, & vegetables).
Non-GMO Project Verified
Prenatal Multi Gold is Non-GMO Project Verified, which provides assurance that the product has been manufactured in accordance with the best practices for GMO avoidance. The Non-GMO Project is North America's premier verification program.
Certified C.L.E.A.N.
C.L.E.A.N. stands for Conscious (or safe as defined by federal regulatory standards), Live (or minimally processed and organic), Ethical (verified non-GMO and humanely processed), Active (highly bioavailable based on modeling by CytoSolve® technology), and Nourishing (based on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI)).
Certified by Vegan Action
Vegan Action has offered vegan certification since 1995. Their official seal is proof that Prenatal Multi Gold does not contain ingredients derived from animals or animal by-products, is free of animal-derived GMOs or genes, and is not the subject of ongoing animal testing.
Ko Kosher Certified
Most consumers consider kosher products to be cleaner, healthier, or better than non-kosher products. The Ko Kosher symbol on Prenatal Multi Gold is assurance of our brand's unwavering and uncompromising commitment to accountability, quality, and overall safety.
Free of 7 Common Allergens
We like to make supplements that can be enjoyed by everyone. That's why our products are always compliant with the best practices for avoiding allergens and minimizing cross-contamination. Prenatal Multi Gold is free of soy, gluten, egg, milk, peanut, shellfish, and corn allergens.
Made Without Magnesium Stearate
The use of magnesium stearate is a topic of contention in the supplement industry, with some studies suggesting it can have long-term health consequences. Our take on the matter is simple: as long as magnesium stearate has yet to be proven safe, we WILL NOT use it in any of our products.
Clean Label Guarantee
Consistent with our guiding principle to "do no harm," Prenatal Multi Gold is manufactured without the use of additives or preservatives. It contains absolutely NO contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, harmful additives, residual solvents, magnesium stearate, or hexanes.

In something of a contrarian view of the results of last Thursday's meeting of the European Central Bank, Merk Funds President Axel Merk said ECB President Mario Draghi took tail risks out of the eurozone, while at the same time forcing closer fiscal integration, actions that Merk calls "pure genius."
"Investors have not woken up to it, but last week may have been a game changer," Merk (left) writes in his latest commentary. "He did it all while keeping the ECB out of some political minefields. It's pure genius. The initial market reaction suggested he might have lost a battle, not realizing that he is winning the war."
In essence, Merk adds, Draghi told the world that the ECB will act like a central bank of a United States of Europe if the integration of European fiscal policy accelerates.
"Draghi also correctly shifts the focus going forward on the increased 'fragmentation' in the eurozone where market participants increasingly focus on domestic rather than intra-European activities," he wrote.
The ECB's decision to do little to help stimulate Europe's ailing economy was criticized by many professional money managers. They read Draghi's recent comments on the eurozone as a sign the ECB would step in, and were disappointed in what they say were "overpromises" by the central bank's president.
"It is less powerful than we had hoped for," PIMCO's Bill Gross said Friday in reaction to the ECB's decision. "To this point, the ECB and other policymakers have been all about promises and inviting others to take the first step, and it appears that we are seeing much of the same thing this morning."
"This is a game of promises, a kick-the-can type of moment and yes, we're disappointed," Gross added.
Nouriel Roubini's EconoMonitor website published a piece Friday that called the ECB's failure to act "epic" and "almost funny if it wasn't so sad."
But Merk remains undaunted in his assessment.
"For now, with the prospect of ECB action–even if with delays and no guarantee–a number of tail risks have been taken out of the eurozone," he concludes in his piece. "In our assessment, that alone warrants a significantly stronger euro versus the U.S. dollar. As we discussed, we believe there's a new wind blowing in the eurozone. That wind may well take the tailwind of recent months out of the U.S. dollar."

Chamberlain pitches Yankees to 8-3 win over A's
NEW YORK -- Joba Chamberlain pitched into the eighth inning and allowed two hits, Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon provided the offense and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 8-3 on Friday night for their eighth straight win.
Chamberlain (6-2) was dominant for the second straight start, giving up a run in the first and little else. His only real trouble came in the fifth when he struck out Eric Patterson with runners on second and third, emphatically pumping his fist as he walked off the mound.
Damon drove in three runs, Jeter had two RBIs and Jorge Posada hit a solo homer for the Yankees, who are 21-5 over the last month to seize control of the AL East. Oakland has lost eight straight to New York and 17 of 26 overall.
The stumbling A's wasted another decent start from young Brett Anderson (5-8), who came into the game riding a 21-inning scoreless streak. He lost for the first time in six starts, done in by an offense that couldn't score runs even when it had Matt Holliday.
The three-time All-Star was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals earlier Friday for three minor league prospects, taking one of the A's hottest bats out of the middle of the order. Holliday's trade had been widely expected, with Oakland (40-55) off to its worst start since 1997.
Things began promising enough for the A's, with Orlando Cabrera hitting a one-out double and scoring on Scott Hairston's sacrifice fly. But they managed only one other hit against Chamberlain. The 23-year-old right-hander allowed one run and struck out six in his longest outing since June 1.
The Yankees' eight-game winning streak has been a testament to their pitching more than anything. This was the first time they had won by more than three runs, and it was their best offensive performance in nine games.
New York took the lead for good in the third, when Damon followed Jeter's RBI single with a broken-bat dribbler to first. Daric Barton fielded the ball and threw to Cabrera covering second, but his throw back to first for an attempted double play plunked Damon in the hip, allowing Melky Cabrera to score.
Damon's fielder's choice in the fifth made it 3-1, and Hideki Matsui added an RBI groundout in the sixth.
Posada ensured closer Mariano Rivera got the night off with his solo shot in the eighth, and the Yankees tacked on three more runs off the A's ineffective bullpen.
NOTES -- The A's recalled Patterson from Sacramento to fill Holliday's roster spot. He arrived at the ballpark just before the start of the game. ... Yankees RHP Chien-Ming Wang was awaiting a second opinion Friday on his injured right throwing shoulder from noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews.
Wang was also examined on Wednesday.

$600,000 stolen from Joel Osteen's megachurch
By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor
(CNN) - Talk about thieves in the temple.
Some $600,000 in cash and check donations were stolen this week from Lakewood Church in Houston, according to the city's police department.
Incredibly, all of the money was from one weekend's donations, the church says. For many American churches, $600,000 in tithes would be a good month or even year.
The church, which is pastored by bestselling author and preacher Joel Osteen, told congregants the stolen money came from contributions on March 8 and 9.
The theft occurred between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. About $200,000 in cash and $400,000 in checks were stolen from a church safe, said Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva.
The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made, Silva said.
Lakewood Church also warned congregants to keep an eye on their credit and bank accounts, since some of the stolen goods include envelopes with credit card information on them. The church said there was no electronic data breach, though, and the stolen money is insured.
Officials at the evangelical church declined further comment.
According to Christian researchers, Lakewood is the largest church in the country, with some 43,500 members attending Sunday services. It meets in a former sports and entertainment arena just outside downtown Houston.
The church's popularity has been built on Osteen's relentlessly optimistic, and some say unbiblical, teachings, which often focus as much on self-help as eternal salvation.
"Part of my ... success is that I've stayed in my lane," Osteen told CNN in 2012, "and my lane is lifting people's spirits."

U.S. stocks are overvalued — and have been for months. That is what six well-known measures of valuation show.
While that doesn't mean a bear market is imminent, there is a high probability that investment returns over the next decade will be below average, according to Yale University economics professor and Nobel laureate Robert Shiller.
Investors shouldn't expect that what has worked for them over the past five years will continue to work in the future.
One way to gauge the market's valuation is to compare it to past bull-market peaks. There have been 35 since 1900, according to Ned Davis Research, a quantitative-research firm.
Five of these six valuation ratios show the market is more overvalued today than it was at between 82% and 89% of those peaks. They are:
* The cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio championed by Shiller, calculated by dividing the S&P 500 by its average inflation-adjusted earnings per share over the past decade.
* The dividend yield, which is the percentage of a company's stock price represented by its total annual dividends.
* The price/sales ratio, calculated by dividing a company's stock price by its per-share sales.
* The price/book ratio, calculated by dividing a company's stock price by its per-share book value, an accounting measure of net worth.
* The Q ratio, calculated by dividing a company's market capitalization by the replacement cost of its assets.
It is noteworthy that there is such agreement among these ratios even though each calculates the market's valuation in a profoundly different way.
The sixth data point — the traditional price/earnings ratio, which focuses on trailing or projected 12-month earnings — is the one that paints the least-bearish picture. Still, it shows the market to be more overvalued than it was at 69% of those past market peaks.
Shiller argues that the P/E doesn't have as good a forecasting record as his cyclically adjusted variant.
Some investors are ignoring the warning signs from these valuation ratios, since the bull market has continued higher even though the measures have told much the same story for some time.
Yet Shiller says that it is "hardly surprising" that the market has gone up over the past year despite an above-average cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio, since his research always has shown that it and other valuation ratios have poor forecasting power over periods as short as a year. It is his ratio's ability to forecast 10-year returns that he finds noteworthy.
He points out that it was in December 1996 that he gave his now-famous talk to the Federal Reserve that led Alan Greenspan, then the Fed's chairman, to warn of "irrational exuberance." The market continued to do well for three more years before succumbing in early 2000.
Ben Inker, co-head of the asset-allocation team at Boston-based money management firm GMO, which has $119 billion in assets, likens the market to a leaf in a hurricane.
"You have no idea where the leaf will be a minute or an hour from now," he says. "But eventually gravity will win out and it will land on the ground."
The chief point of all this for investors? Simply this: The stock market isn't poised to produce returns that are in line with even its long-term annualized average of around 10%, much less the 20%-plus returns we have seen over the past five years.
"I can say with high confidence that investors are going to get very disappointing returns from U.S. stocks over the coming 10 years," says Rob Arnott, chairman of Research Affiliates, an asset-management firm in Newport Beach, Calif., that advises on $178 billion in investment strategies.
Unfortunately, none of the valuation ratios help us determine the path the market will take in producing these anemic returns. It could turn in low but positive returns during the next 10 years, or it could soar first and then plummet, as it did in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
One way to increase the odds of getting better long-term results may be to invest in foreign equities, though, as amply illustrated by the turmoil in European markets this past week, they can also be much riskier than the U.S. market and may not be appropriate for everyone.
Mebane Faber, chief investment officer at Cambria Investment Management in El Segundo, Calif., with $400 million in assets, says that the cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio is higher in the U.S. than in 52 of 54 foreign stock markets. Among the countries with the lowest such ratios right now, he says, are Argentina, Greece and Russia.
Exchange-traded funds that track these countries' stock markets include Global X FTSE Argentina 20
For a more-diversified, and less risky, bet on world-wide emerging markets, consider the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF
You also might consider U.S. consumer-discretionary and consumer-staples stocks, which Ned Davis Research has found have performed the best in the final stages of past bull markets. Two ETFs benchmarked to those sectors are the Select Sector SPDR-Consumer Discretionary
The most popular stocks in these two sectors among the advisers tracked by the Hulbert Financial Digest who have beaten the stock market over the past 15 years are cable company Comcast

Obama spotlights Sandy victims
President Barack Obama used his weekly address to remind Americans to keep the victims of Hurricane Sandy in their thoughts and prayers as they gather around their Thanksgiving dinner tables this year.
"As we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the Northeast who don't have that luxury," Obama said in his address released Thursday. "Many of them have lost everything to Hurricane Sandy — homes, possessions, even loved ones. And it will be a long time before life goes back to normal."
"We're also grateful that this country has always been home to Americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportunities to give back. Americans who believe we have a responsibility to look out for those less fortunate — to pull each other up and move forward together," Obama said.
Obama said that, though the October hurricane was destructive and deadly, it brought out the best in many Americans.
"In the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope," Obama said. "Over the last few weeks, we've seen FEMA personnel, National Guard and first-responders working around the clock in hard-hit communities."
"We've seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute supplies," he said. "Families offering up extra bedrooms. The fire department advertising free hot showers. Buses full of volunteers coming from hundreds of miles away. Neighbors sharing whatever they have — food, water, electricity — and saying again and again how lucky they are to have a roof over their heads."
"It would have been easy for these folks to do nothing — to worry about themselves and leave the rest to someone else. But that's not who we are. That's not what we do," he said. "As Americans, we are a bold, generous, big-hearted people. When our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work."
Obama also nodded toward his recent election victory, saying that Thanksgiving was a time to remember that ultimately all Americans have more in common than what divides them.
"Thanksgiving is a chance to put it all in perspective — to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, Americans first and foremost," Obama said.
"That's especially important this year," he said. "As a nation, we've just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy and vital to our democracy. But it also required us to make choices — and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together, on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to."
Obama took the time to extend his warmest wishes to all Americans: "On behalf of the Obama family — Michelle, Malia, Sasha and Bo — I want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving," he said.
"For us, like so many of you, this is a day full of family and friends, food and football," he said. "It's a day to fight the overwhelming urge to take a nap — at least until after dinner. But most of all, it's a time to give thanks for each other, and for the incredible bounty we enjoy."
"To all the Americans doing your part to make our world a better place — it is my privilege to serve as your president," Obama said. "To all our service members — it is my honor to be your commander in chief. And from our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving."

There have been a number of new developments in the wrangling over the movie rights to Daredevil and Fantastic Four — but the most interesting upshot, by far, is the notion that Marvel could regain the rights to Galactus, devourer of worlds. And his herald, the Silver Surfer. [See update below.]
In a nutshell, here's what's going on, according to Variety: Fox currently owns the movie rights to Daredevil and the Fantastic Four, along with the X-Men. Fox has to start filming a Daredevil movie by Oct. 10, or the rights revert back to Marvel. There's basically no way Fox can make that deadline — but Fox is excited about its new take on Daredevil: a noir, urban version based closely on the Frank Miller comics, with Joe Carnahan (The Grey) signed up to direct.
So for Fox to make its film, the studio needs Marvel to agree to give it more time. So the two studios are in talks, and one possible solution is that Marvel could agree to a co-financing agreement, giving Marvel a stake in this gritty new Daredevil film. But another possible compromise is that Fox could give back the rights to Galactus and the Silver Surver, who are part of the Fantastic Four rights that Fox currently holds. According to Variety, Marvel really wants to use those two characters in one of its upcoming films, but Fox wants to hold onto them as well.
So depending on how good Marvel's negotiators are — and how desperate Fox is to make its Daredevil film — we could be seeing Galactus turn up in Avengers 3. That would be pretty awesome, no? As long as he's not just some boring cloud this time.
Update: Deadline has weighed in on this story, saying that Fox is in no hurry to give away Galactus, who's a "cornerstone" villain for the Fantastic Four. And Deadline claims Fox is "lukewarm" about Carnahan's take on Daredevil, and probably will just let the rights revert to Marvel unless Marvel wants to extend them in exchange for co-financing. (Honestly, I would take both the Variety and Deadline articles with a grain of salt at this point — there are probably a number of players involved here, each eager to get their own spin out. Thanks for the heads up, Volante3192!)

I've been looking at this little stack of yarn everyday for the last two weeks. It's like a colorful promise of rest after swimming in a cookie sea.
I am the Cookie Manager for our large Girl Scout Troop. It is a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I've also learned a lot in the process. I am so grateful for the ladies who have stepped up to co-manage. There is no way I could do it without them. We have gotten through the toughest week (Superbowl week) and will spend the next 30 days trying to keep things running smoothly. Cookie business leaves very little time for creative pleasure (someone has to teach school and clean house) But this time next month, that yarn is mine.
Last weekend we celebrated The Girl's big 13. Cannot believe we no longer have children in the house, but teenagers. There was all sorts of festivity: dinner, friends, and shopping. But I have to say, my favorite part was getting the chance to sit together for her birthday on Sunday night, just us four. After a busy week it was good to relax and enjoy the company of one another.

Official Opinion 95-27
Elections Division Office of the Secretary of State
A judicial determination that a person is incompetent is required before a person may be denied the right to vote.
You have requested my official opinion as to whether a person must be adjudicated mentally incompetent by a court prior to being denied their right to vote and what constitutes "mental incompetence" for the purpose of this inquiry. It is my official opinion that a judicial determination must be made on a case-by-case basis where the reviewing judge specifically finds a person is mentally incompetent, which determination then results in the person losing their right to vote.
Georgia law provides that:
No person who has been judicially determined to be mentally incompetent may register, remain registered, or vote unless the disability has been removed.
Ga. Const. 1983, Art. II, Sec. I, Para. III(b). This constitutional provision is codified under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-216(b). These provisions clearly contemplate that a separate, judicial determination must be made that a person is "mentally incompetent" prior to the removal of a person's right to vote. See 1985 Op. Att'y Gen. 85-48 ("A judge of probate court may, in the course of a proceeding for the appointment of a guardian for an incapacitated adult, judicially determine a person to be mentally incompetent and thereby remove the person's right to vote.").
The Constitution and O.C.G.A. § 21-2-216(b) do not contemplate that a determination of any mental disability, such as mental retardation or substance addiction, is sufficient to remove a person's right to vote. 1985 Op. Att'y Gen. 85-48, p. 112. Instead a reviewing judge must make a specific factual determination, on a case-by-case basis, that a person is mentally incompetent. Id. Once such a determination has been made, then the incompetent person loses their right to vote. This is analogous to the situation where a person convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude also automatically loses their right to vote upon the conviction becoming final. See Ga. Const. 1983, Art. II, Sec. I, Para. III(a); 1986 Op. Att'y Gen. 86-15.
However, neither the Constitution nor the corresponding statutory provisions specifically define the term "mental incompetence." This term is not synonymous with mental disability, mental illness or mental retardation. 1985 Op. Att'y Gen. 85-48. Even where a guardian is appointed for an incapacitated adult, the law provides that there must be an independent determination of whether such an incapacitated person would also be "mentally incompetent" so as to lose their right to vote. O.C.G.A. § 29-5-7(f).
In trying to give content to the term "mental incompetence," you must first look to the intent of the General Assembly, keeping in view the problems which were addressed by the legislation. O.C.G.A. § 1-3-1(a). Words must be given the ordinary meanings, except where they relate to particular trades or subject matters. O.C.G.A. § 1-3-1(b).
"Mental incompetence" has been defined as a situation where, "[T]here is found to exist an essential privation of reasoning faculties, or when a person is incapable of understanding and acting with discretion in the ordinary affairs of life." Black's Law Dictionary 889 (5th ed. 1979).
In other areas of Georgia law where the term "mental incompetence" is used, various functional definitions of the term have developed. In the context of criminal law, "mental incompetence" includes an evaluation of whether a defendant has an awareness of his situation and an ability to assist his counsel in presenting a defense. O.C.G.A. § 17-7-130; Johnson v. State, 209 Ga. App. 514, 516 (1993).
In the area of worker's compensation, court's have defined "mental incompetence" to include one whose, "mind is so unsound, or is he so weak in his mind, or so imbecile, no matter from what cause, that he can not manage the ordinary affairs of life." Royal Indem. Co. v. Agnew, 66 Ga. App. 377, 380 (1941); Mayor of Athens v. Schaefer, 122 Ga. App. 729 (1970).
All of these give guidance to a reviewing court when called upon to determine under the Constitution whether a person is "mentally incompetent," which then results in their being unable to exercise the right to vote. As such, it is my official opinion that a judicial determination that a person is incompetent is required before a person may be denied the right to vote.

|Classic and iconic . . . . Coco Chanel
I've always been a pink/fuchsia junkie and now purple is inching its way up the list as another favorite color. I love both colors, most often together. If you design a dress, bottle a perfume, glaze some china or snap a photo of a field with lavender or fuchsia or pink somewhere in it . . . . I'm hooked!
And just for funzies I like to transpose the first letters of the colors purple and fuchsia . . . . to each his own, as they say. So recently I did a little research and discovered that purple symbolizes mystery, as well as royalty. And fuchsia is said to be associated with emotional stability . . . . which is why I guess I'm drawn to it . . . . I could always use a little more emotional stability . . . . just ask my psychopharmacologist!
Here are some very inspirational and brilliant images that I have pinned on Pinterest . . . hope you enjoy!

P-Rays outlast Mariners in 23 innings
"Chaos" was the way P-Rays manager Michael Johns described it.
On Thursday night, the trip was much more subdued -- and with good reason. The Rays just completed 17 innings, and they weren't done yet.
Tampa Bay's Appalachian League affiliate took 23 innings to posted a 12-9 victory over the Mariners in a game that started on Thursday night, was interrupted by a 1 a.m. curfew and finally wrapped up almost 24 hours after it started.
In terms of actual game play, the contest lasted 7 hours and 48 minutes. It featured 19 pitchers, 35 hits, seven errors and 166 official at-bats.
"It'll be a while before we stop thinking about this game," Johns said. "Everyone in the organization was leaving me messages about it -- not all about the game, but everyone was intrigued about it. [Class A Advanced Charlotte] had a long game [19 innings in 2010] and everyone was talking about that at Spring Training, at workouts, the whole thing. This will be on the same level as that, I think."
The game headed to extra innings only after Rays closer Zach Butler, who had been 7-for-7 in save opportunities, gave up two runs on three singles and a walk in the bottom of the ninth. That came after Princeton scored five runs in the eighth and ninth.
Even with all the scoring in what are normally the late innings, neither team could muster another run Thursday night. Each bullpen tossed eight scoreless innings to send the game to the 18th before play was halted due to the 1 a.m. ET curfew.
When the teams resumed at 5 p.m. Friday, the scoring drought persisted for five more frames. At that point, the teams had gone through 13 innings of hits, bunts, steals and various other strategic moves in an attempt to break through. The psychological battle took its toll.
"After a while, you just have to let them play," Johns said. "You hate to say it, but you almost hope some guy kicks it and someone gets a few runs off it. You get to a point where conditional baseball just doesn't work anymore and you feel emotionally exhausted."
The pivotal miscue finally came in the 23rd inning. Mariners reliever Domingo Brazoban plunked Andrew Toles and William Argo to start the inning, then threw away Oscar Hernandez's ground ball, allowing Toles and Argo to score the first two runs in nearly a day. The Rays padded the lead on Reid Redman's RBI single and Brandon Martin's sacrifice fly.
The Mariners threatened in the bottom of the inning, getting singles from Dario Pizzano and Jabari Henry. But they produced just one run.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the celebration was muted after the 23-inning epic. After all, there was a regularly scheduled game to be played.
"It's more like relief," Johns said. "Everybody's exhausted and we still had to play again in 30 minutes. That's enough really to celebrate anything. I'd say it was pretty short-lived."
The Rays and Mariners didn't even get into the Appalachian League record book. The longest game in league history was a 27-inning contest between the Burlington Indians and Bluefield Orioles on June 24-25, 1988.
The Mariners got their revenge with a comparatively snappy 7-5 win that spanned only nine innings and two hours and 48 minutes.
While there was no threat of extra innings in the nightcap, Johns said his mind immediately will harken back to the 23-inning marathon anytime his team is forced to go beyond the ninth.
"It's going to happen," he said. "It almost has to, if you're human."

Just prior to the Christmas season, I was blessed to be taught a bible study method by Bonnie Gray, author of Whispers of Rest and Finding Spiritual Whitespace. As a thank you, Bonnie offered a live online bible study course for the women that had contributed to her publication platform. I first discovered Bonnie through her blog and always appreciated her kind, encouraging comments regarding my own writing and photography.
Over those few evenings when Bonnie Zoomed with us from her living room in California, I learned she attended bible college, taught bible study methods for many years, and once even led a singles ministry. I also learned how to deeply seek the meanings of scripture and what God is saying to me through His words. And it's changed me, in a very good way, on how I now approach my bible reading.
During our time together, she had us in Mark 6:45-52 as we observed, interpreted, and applied His word. She guided us in the understanding why it is in the interpretation of God's word where most of our time is to be spent. She showed us how use the tools within https://www.biblestudytools.com/ and https://biblehub.com/
I was sad to see it end, and hope that one day Bonnie will offer a 'train the trainer' course so I can dive deeper into this bible study method and teach others!
But I digress…
What I really want to share is what I began to see when I read the following lines. And how just two lines in scripture rerouted my course, taking me 'home.'
Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. Mark 6:52
Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! Don't be afraid." Then he climbed in the boat with them, and the wind died down. Mark 6:51
In the passage, it struck me how "immediately" is repeated, and that word 'made'?–well it shouted out at me. Jesus made his disciples get into the boat, made them leave the party early so to speak. See, Jesus had just done the impossible. He fed 5,000 people with five loafs of bread and two fish. Five thousand people had just witnessed the miracle of Jesus! I can imagine the excitement of the disciples. Now….now…surely there were enough believers to make Jesus their king, right there and then!
But Jesus led the disciples away and made them get into the boat. I wonder if they objected? I can imagine Peter trailing behind Jesus as they walked away from the crowd, muttering to himself, and then standing in the boat as it sailed away from shore, shaking his head in wonderment as Jesus dismissed the crowd on land. The circumstances seemed to be exactly right for what he wanted to achieve, however Jesus was calling him back to the boat to travel to Bethsaida, where he, and the disciples Andrew, Philip and John had called home.
Jesus knew it wasn't His time yet to be crowned. And He knew His crown was not ever to be a crown made of gold and silver. Instead it was to be a crown of thorns He'd bear as He hung on a cross, fulfilling His Father's purpose for eternal salvation.
As I studied this scripture, I began to see myself at the boat, defiant and resisting Jesus. "But I know what is best! Yes, I'm tired, hungry, and overwhelmed by the crowd, but I can't step away from the party. Look what I've started! How can I just walk away?"
And Jesus' gaze is gentle as he tells me, "I'm making you go across the waters, to a place you'll know as home."
"Trust Me."
I can imagine my body swaying slightly as the boat sails me away, over the waves, as I watch Jesus on land take care of the crowd, dismissing them.
Jesus is taking care of the details as I sail where He wants me to go.
So, as January 2019 comes to a close, my 'goal' book still stays closed, as I make my way to shore not sure what will come next. And whenever the wind feels against me, and the waves rough underneath me, He's shown me through His word that I am "to take courage", and "don't be afraid."
All I need to do is let Him in, let Him teach me, and still me with His presence.
What has God's word taught you lately?
Linking up today with Soaring With Him Ministries

Books you MUST read
What do you think which books are a must-read during someone's lifetime? Which books that you've read would you recommend and which ones would you like to read?
Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Plato's Socratic Dialogues.
The little prince-by Antoine ST expury is really very good, even if it is a childs book. Made me see the world in a new way, if that makes sense. I can see why its so popular, especially in Europe.
The Book theif-Markus Zurak is brilliant as well. It's about a girl growing up with her foster family in Germany during WW2. The whole story is narrated by Death himself. Very sad though, so not for people who don't like depressing books.
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein is wonderful! There are so many I would recommend but that's my number one pick out of any genre.

Oh, you're talking about Holden Caulfield. I can see how he can be annoying, but I find him to be an extremely quirky and ultimately sympathetic figure. It is a tale about teen angst and isolation though. I just find the way he describes people and his mannerisms endearing.
To Kill A Mockingbird is probably my favorite book of all time. If I had to choose one book to bring with me, this would be it. There's a reason why Atticus Finch and Scout are two of the most beloved fictional characters.

"The Godfather" by Mario Puzo. A pure classic book that is one of my all time favorites.
I absolutely loved American Gods and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I recommend those two to everyone I talk to in which the topic of books comes up. I also loved Mardock Scramble by Tow Ubukata. The actual books not the anime/manga version. I would say though that Mardock Scramble isn't for everyone but definitely should be looked into at least.
Nation by Terry Pratchett then any of the Discworld books.
I am reading a novel by Haruki Murakami called 1 Q 8 4. 50 Shades is good to.
Game of thrones, The legend of Drizzit, and lord of the rings are very good ones

Motorola RAZR V3xx
Info Photos News Forum 100+ Reviews
Average Ratings
One of the best
I had the v3xx for over 2 years. Great phone but showing it's age. Mine also broke and ATT replaced it 4 times each with a progressively more inferior refurb. They claimed they were new but their constant problems lead me to believe otherwise. PROS: Simple functional design. Decent reception. I'm a truck driver and I switch towers constantly but the v3xx had trouble keeping up. Other than that, you'll have no problems from it there. Really the motorola user interface is simply brilliant. I really like it and the personalization options are endless. Great phone here too. The internet was really fast. Use opera mini and it's great for just about everything but streaming media. Also google maps couldn't be set to authorize only once. Yahoo Go! was an acceptable alternative. But there are CONS: ATT dumbs the phone down to try to make you buy it. I work for a living. I don't have time to hack a phone to make it decent. Reception was okay but for a trucker I was clearly testing and beating its limits. My first v3xx didn't screw up much. The 4+ replacements screwed up constantly. Maybe the first one was an exception but I'd like to think otherwise. Last one started crashing. Screen would white out and phone would have to be rebooted.
I'm Picky and I Like This Phone
I'm in the cellular business so I get to use lots of phones. I am giving the Motorola V3XX my thumbs up. It's a keeper.
-Damned good reception. This is one issue I am a REAL STICKLER about. I'm a signal strength junkie. And this phone passes easily. One of the best signal phones I've seen in a long time
- Design: Sleek and pretty. I've seen other reviewers here criticize the hinge. I'm rough on phones and I don't have a clue what they are talking about. No problems here. OK, you probably don't want to use it to jimmy a window...
-Inside screen is beautiful and plenty big enough.
-Software is very stable, unlike my old Motorola V600.
-Access to the web is just one button touch away. Has a dedicated button for Cellular Video. I happen to like watching the CNN update that gets freshened up once an hour. COOL! Letterman's top ten list from last night gets viewed by me a lot, too
- Effortless email set up. I CAN GET MY HOTMAIL EMAIL ON THE ROAD. And with just a couple of button clicks. YES!
- Can be connected to an external antenna if necessary.
-Music player is decent.
- Durable enough. I've dropped it hard several times with no ill effects.
Yeah, like everyone else I'd like to see the outside screen a little larger and a little more vibrant. Oh well...
- Battery life with the O.E. battery can be just a little anemic especially if you're on the net a lot or listening to a lot of music. But I found a solution. I went on eBay and bought an aftermarket HIGH CAPACITY BATTERY. Came with a new, larger battery cover 'cause the O.E. cover won't go over the bigger battery. Now my battery rarely even looses a bar. COOL! But don't tell AT&T. Mums the word, eh?
- I find that sometimes the phone shuts off a little too easily when you hit the hangup button. Like, you should have to hold it for three seconds at least to shut off the phone but sometimes you can hit it for less a second and, "good bye".
Thumbs up! I like it!

Best phone ever
i love this phone because of its good reception and its good looks. i upgraded from a vx6100 and changed networks because the verizon wireless user interface is soooooooooooo crappy It is not even funny. i gave it to my sister and it is her first cell phone and she loves that she can call her friends for free and she loves the verizon interface but i love the new razrs and i got one of these and i am loving it. i have gotten so many complements. the camera works like a charm
awesome camera
good screen
good reception everywhere
3g speeds are amazing
none so far and i have had it for about 3 months so i think it will work really well my only problem is that the back battery covering can fall off easy so if you drop it more than a foot it will fall off and the battery will fall out
Best Razr to date
It seems as if other users have touched upon most of the pros and cons of this phone. I have the platinum model and live in southwestern CT, which is a 3G area. Here's my 2 cents:
-Great reception and call quality (at one time thought impossible for a Razr)
-3G technology; very smooth internet browsing and video clips look very nice
-Much faster interface software, barely any lag time for most apps including the camera.
-Quality MP3 player for a phone
-Great aesthetic design
-Solid and sturdy feel
-Subpar battery life, primarily attributable to 3G usage, which in turn makes the battery feel quite hot
-Picture and video quality is below average (1.3 megapixels), but I hardly use my phone for pics and video
-Inconvenient MicroSD card slot location
-Does not come with USB cable or earbuds
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the V3xx. After churning out what seems to be a countless number of unsatisfying Razr models over the last few years, I believe Motorola finally got it right with this one. As a phone, the V3xx provides admirable functionality and reliability. As an entertainment device, it delivers on most areas. I'm more curious to find out how the Razr 2 V8 will stack up against the V3xx. From what I understand, it should be a more versatile device on AT&T's service compared to the CDMA networks. But I'm happy with this phone for the meantime.
Motorola's Performance Gem
As much as I didn't want to fall into the RAZR styled handsets, there was no way I could deny the features and performance this offers.
-Great Signal: Coming from a Sony Ericsson handset left me a bit skeptical of whether or not I would be able to handle the change, but this phone is just as wonderful as my old z500 was. Calls are clear and garble isn't an issue like it was on the SE.
-Gorgeous Screen: The QVGA display is a treat to the eyes as everything from text to pictures are crisp, clear and easy to read.
-Extended Battery Life: The battery on this phone lasts forever! On one charge, the phone will last for a few days even with maximum usage. Moderate use will leave the phone charged adequately for a week.
-Excellent Processor: This phone has absolutely no lag. Extremely responsive in comparison to most other models and manufacturers.
-Internal Memory: Large enough to hold dozens of ringtones, hundreds of pictures, and up to 500 messages. It's hard to even put a dent into the 60MB the phone includes (unless downloading full length songs).
-Intuitive Media Player: The media player is among the best I've used. Well organized and easy to access while other applications are running.
-Great Camera: 1.3 megapixel lens starts quickly and snapshots turn out nicer than those of the Samsung SYNC. Great quality for just a camera phone.
-Beautiful menus: Everything is extremely customizable on the phone; from the shortcuts, to the menus, to the background and skins.
-Internet Speeds: This thing goes like a breeze on both HSDPA and EDGE networks. Includes cutting edge 3.6mbps capability so that the phone can grow with the network.
-Size: The phone is similar in comparison to other RAZR models, although slightly taller. Despite this, it is still smaller than other Cingular phones.
-External display could be brighter.
-MicroSD slot located under battery cover.
The v3xx is hands down the best phone that Cingular is offering at the moment--best phone I've used.
Great phone all around.
I'll get right to the good and the bad...
-Great size, shape and sleek look...easy to clean
-Beautiful QVGA screen and spacious keyboard for dialing and typing
-Decent camera quality
-Phone memory is large
-Media player
-Fast processing
-High-speed internet
-Signal strength is wonderful
-Loud earpiece with great call quality
-Useful tools, features and extras
-Dim outside screen in comparison to inside
-Location of smartkeys on top hinge
-MicroSD slot located under battery cover...still, it is hot-swappable
-No recurring alarm feature
And to the most recent posts, disregard them. This is a great phone and two of the users rated this as a V3m and a V3RED which are NOT the same phones at all.
V3XX = V3 Xtremely Xtrordinary
First and foremost, I am not a person who buys each and every phone, messes with em, and moves on.
I've been going 2.5 years using a Motorola V551 and have been extremely satisfied with it.
For at least 2 years, I have been anti RAZR. It was not until a contract expiration, a sense of desperation, and a shot in the dark proved me wrong. I'd been researching the Moto RAZR V3XX from afar using this very site as well as Cnet.com.
Well, How about I stop beating around the bush, this phone is the piece De Resistance when it comes to the Moto RAZR line ( at least for the moment ).
Pros have pretty much been laid out in one way or another on this particular forum and so I shall not waste the space. However, as nothing is perfect, so have the cons.
I can say that I have yet to have any significant problem with the afore mentioned cons, but have had all the enjoyment of the fantastic pros.
Bottom line is, I didn't want to part with my V551, but I believe that with my shiny new Moto V3XX... The transition will be a lotta bit easier.
SUPER Improvements!
I have had just about every Motorola since the V400 came out including all of the RAZRs and Motorola really addressed a lot of issues on this one. Wow, it's great! Amazingly, the V3xx includes an EXTERNAL KEY LOCK!! You have the choice of outer keys locking in 2,4,8 seconds, manually, or not at all. Then when you press an external key, the first press illuminates the back light, the second press prompts you to hold down the smart key to unlock the outer keys. Finally! Also volume is superb! Earpiece speaker has high quality velvety (and plenty loud) sound. This is the first moto I won't have to hack into the gain table to increase volume settings. Even the outer speaker is FULL Duplex now! No more choppy conversations with useless Half Duplex. It does disconnect the call when you close the flip on speakerphone, but I think I can hack that problem away. The USB port has a handy dust cover now. No more lint from my pocket filling the port. The interface is MUCH faster now. Even connecting with EDGE (no 3G in my area yet) is stunningly faster than all of my previous Motorolas. Also, connecting to the Cingular Video page was a snap with color photos and all! They have upgraded the Autoupdate of time to either time only or time AND time zone. You can also select to have the time and date display during a call (it always bothered me that the time/date would vanish during a call). As in the pics, the date displays on the outer screen too. Some very minor cons: Cannot personalize the right or left soft keys anymore, when connecting to MEdia Net the text is super small and I have perfect vision - you can zoom, but it doesn't help too much, after taking a photo the options that appear above the soft keys are too light/transparent, when you set the in-call timer to display and close the flip to end the call the timer vanishes immediately - it did this on early RAZRs and they fixed it on later versions but now the minor issue is back. Otherwise it's GREAT!
Greatest Phone I've Found!
I take my time looking for new gadgets and research them out. This phone lives up to the hype and I highly recommend it.
The best Razr and the best phone - period. Go get one!
Pros: Cingular Video
Easy to use software
Easy sim to phone transfer
Crystal clear display
1.3 MPX camera
the list goes on..
User Friendly to the max
Tricked out phone
High speed data transfer
easy to navigate/customize
Just AWESOME
Cons: No USB cable provided
Doesn't fit some existing RAZR cases
Battery life falls short
Very Bright screen.
Very Resonsive and fast to commands.
Nice and Loud.
So far no dropped calls.
Very Solid build.
Even the Edge connection is fast. Would love to use it under hsdpa.
Menu could be better, but this could be do to using Nokia phone's. But it's not bad.
I was planning on getting the Nokia N75 which my 10 year will be collecting social securiy before Cingular brings it out. Came accross a decent deal off contract at Compusa do to store closing and couldn't pass up the deal. I am very impressed, better then my wife's V3i which is better then the original V3. And we can share charges and other accessories. Including the usb headset that came with her phone.

Want proof the locked-out players don't want to lose the 2012-13 NHL season?
According to Vancouver Canucks forward Manny Malhotra, one of the most plugged-in players to the ongoing (or disjointed, depending on your view) negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA, all you need to do is look at how the players are spending their league-imposed downtime. Players are taking their talents to Europe or skating in small groups to stay prepared for when (not if) the season actually starts.
"If we had no desire to get back to the games, we'd be on vacation somewhere stuffing our faces rather than skating and working out every day," Malhotra told the Vancouver Sun. "To say that guys don't want to negotiate and get things done would be a wrong statement."
Malhotra also said the players won't panic even though the Winter Classic became the latest casualty of the lockout Friday when the league pulled the plug on the annual outdoor game.
"We've been educated on what's going on and why these pressure tactics are being used so, again, we're not fazed by it," he said. "It's sad that this is one of their only methods but it is what it is."
Nearly 40 years after he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Glenn Hall will receive the same honour in the city where he finished his NHL career.
Hall will be one of three inductees into the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame late this month, going in along with former St. Louis cardinals outfielder Jim Edmonds and ex-St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Orlando Pace.
Credited as the goalie who invented the butterfly style, Hall won 407 games in the NHL in his 18-season NHL career. In addition to the Blues, he played for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks -- Hall won the Vezina twice with Chicago and once with St. Louis --and was a seven-time first-team all-star.
But Hall might be best remembered for being the goalie in the famous photo of Boston Bruins defenceman Bobby Orr flying through the air after scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal against the Blues.
Winnipeg Jets forward Antti Miettinen has signed with Finnish team HPK, according to EliteProspects.com.
Miettinen will reportedly join the team next week. Former Jets forward Eric Fehr, who is an NHL free agent, is already on the HPK roster.
This isn't the first time Miettinen, who had five goals and eight assists in 45 games with the Jets last season, has played for the club. He played with HPK before moving to the NHL in 2003.

President Lee C. Bollinger issued the following statement to the Columbia
community October 11, 2007, in response to an incident on campus:
Dear fellow member of the Columbia community:
I am saddened to report that one of the bathrooms in Lewisohn Hall was sullied with an anti-Semitic smear. It has been promptly removed and is now being investigated.
I want to make two points. When words are the offender, as in this incident, I am reluctant to draw attention to them and will exercise restraint in doing so going forward. I do not want to broadcast, in any way, the message they attempt to send or empower those behind them. Despite the irrational, destructive hatred that persists in our society and world, we do not accept this anywhere at this University. No one among us should feel marginalized or threatened by words of hatred. We are one community; and as one community, we will overcome these hateful acts and hold each other to the highest standards of respect for the dignity and diversity of every individual.
In response to questions students have raised, I also want to reassure you that we have utmost confidence in our Public Safety officials and in the NYPD. Not only do they have well established communications protocols in place when there is an immediate threat of harm; they distinguish crimes that threaten our physical safety from incidents like the one that occurred today.
Lee C. Bollinger
Statement on Incident at Teachers College
President Lee C. Bollinger issued the following statement to the Columbia
community on October 10, 2007, in response to a hate crime incident at Teachers College.
To see statements from Teachers College President Susan Fuhrman and
Professor Madonna Constantine, go to the Teachers College Web site.
As most of you now know, a terrible incident of bias occurred at Teachers College yesterday, directed at a member of the faculty. Teachers College is a cherished affiliate of Columbia University with its own president, Susan Fuhrman, to whom I have offered our support and assistance. We may be two independent institutions, but we are one community; and we stand together in our commitment to oppose the frightening sentiments that lay behind this act.
Tolerance and mutual respect are among the core values of our diverse community, and all of us must confront acts of hate whenever they occur within it. As I said last night, an attack on the dignity of any member of our community is an assault on all of us.
I will be meeting with student leaders this afternoon, and other members of the administration will be communicating with faculty and students in the coming days. Our mission as a University includes addressing the most important and searing issues of our time, and we have a particular obligation to respond forcefully to events that affront our values.

Peanut brittle is sweet, salty, crunchy, and horribly addictive. Plus it's really simple to make, you don't even need to use a candy thermometer!
Could it be any better?
...yes.. you can add macadamia nuts to the mix.
You an use any mix of peanuts and macadamia nuts as long as together it equals 3 cups. I used two cups of peanuts and one cup macadamia. Make sure you get salted peanuts! The salty-sweet is what makes the brittle soo addictive
After you measure out your nuts sprinkle them with 1/2 tsp baking soda. Then measure out two tablespoons of butter and place it near the nuts. Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil and spray with baking spray or lightly grease with oil.
When making candy items it always helps to have everything prepped and ready to go for when the sugar is done cooking. With your nuts, baking soda, butter, and lined pan you're ready to go!
In a heavy bottomed pan bring sugar, corn syrup, and some salt to a rapid simmer. Once it's simmering *stop stirring*. I love to fret over things and I always want to stir boiling sugar, but don't! Stirring can cause the sugar to crystallize. Let it simmer until it turns a deep golden colour. This will take about 20 minutes or so on medium- high heat.
Then remove the pot from heat and stir in the nut mixture (that has the baking soda in it) and the butter. The mixture is going to foam but keep stirring until its smooth.
Next use a buttered spatula to spread out the mixture on the cookie tray. If it doesn't want to spread out entirely don't fret, as it cools a bit the candy will get stretchy and you should be able to get it to fill the whole pan.
Let it cool and then break it into pieces. If there is any left over (which is doubtful) store it in a container with the layers separated by wax paper.
Peanut and Macadamia Nut Brittle
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 cups of nuts (you can use just peanuts or any ratio of macadamia nut and peanuts)
1. Measure out the nuts and sprinkle the baking soda over them. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and lightly coat it with baking spray or lightly grease with oil. Have a buttered spatula near by
2. Combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in a heavy bottomed pot. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer (without stirring) until deep golden which will take about 20 minutes
3. Remove pot from heat and stir in nut mixture and butter and stir until smooth (mixture will foam)
4. Transfer to lined baking sheet an spread it with greased spatula. If it won't spread thinly enough let it cool very very slightly and then resume spreading
5. Let harden (15-20 minutes) and break into pieces

Do you feel appreciated by your dog when she runs to greet you at the door, or wags her tail excitedly before you take her for a walk? It's nice to feel appreciated, isn't it? Well now it's time to share some of that appreciation with your dog. Everyone (dogs included) could use a little appreciating from time to time, so here are ways that you can show your dog exactly what she means to you.
Does your dog always run to the door to greet you when you get home? Show her some love back! Make sure she gets lots of petting and ear scratches when you walk in so she knows you missed her too.
Playing with your dog is an easy way to create some bonding time. Tug-of-war, fetch, you name it, your dog will love it. Your dog knows you'd rather be watching television, sitting in front of your computer, or doing whatever it is you like to do in your downtime – so taking some time to do an activity she loves will really show your appreciation.
Sure romps in the backyard or walks around the block are fun, but nothing shows you appreciate your dog more than a day trip to the dog park. Not only will she get an exciting car ride, but it's a day with you and new territory to explore and friends to be made.
You know the routine: you're settling in to get your reality TV fix and your 80-pound pooch decides she's a lap dog and climbs right up. Or you're about to get into bed only to discover you have to remove a certain someone who has tried to steal your side of the bed … again. Instead of letting these minor inconveniences annoy you, schedule in some snuggle time with your canine pal. This way when she gets kicked out of the bed yet again, she'll still know she's appreciated … just not in the bed.
This may seem like an odd one, but there is nothing your dog loves more than to please you. Help her to learn how, so you can always show her how much you appreciate her good behavior, but engaging in some obedience training. This can be a special bonding activity, and every time she does something right, she gets a little appreciation thrown her way.
This is an obvious one – gifts are always a great way to show appreciation. You can go big, like a comfy new dog bed (you know, so she'll quit trying to steal your spot!), or you can get her weekly or daily reminders of your appreciation, like toys, ropes, or bones.
Prepare an extra special meal for your dog in order to show your appreciation. There are many different specialty sauces you can use on dog food to add flavoring, or you can prepare a home cooked meal. Table scraps aren't recommended for dogs, but preparing her a nutritionally-sound meal of lean protein and vegetables will be a treat for her, and still healthy.
Invest in a big box of treats, that way, whenever your dog listens really well or does something else you appreciate, you can show her just how much you appreciate it with a treat. Of course you don't want to overdo it with treats – they can be high in calories. Other low calorie items dogs tend to still view as "treats" include raw baby carrots and ice cubes.
If an eight-foot tall person towered over you, it might be kind of intimidating, right? Well, that's kind of how your dog feels looking up at you. Next time you want to show her some appreciation, get down on her level. Squat down next to her so you can look her in the eyes while petting her.
Now while your dog may not catch on that her regular veterinary care is an act of appreciation rather than an act of torture, you'll at least know you're doing it because you love and cherish her.

Everyone could see the issues in the first three games against Indiana.
First and foremost, the Knicks couldn't score. On top of that, they couldn't rebound.
So how did Mike Woodson decide to solve New York's problems in Game 4?
He benched Pablo Prigioni, the player with the single best per-minute plus-minus of anyone on the roster. Instead, in all his brilliance, Woodson played Jason Kidd for 16 minutes, even though he hasn't scored a point since the Clinton administration.
Prigioni moves the ball and can actually hit an open three — two things they need desperately. Yet, somehow, Woodson sat him for basically the entire game and then refused to explain himself in the post-game press conference. It was a great show of arrogance for a man who has been embarrassed in this series by Pacers coach Frank Vogel. We all deserve an explanation for this asinine move, especially Knicks fans.
How else did Woodson try to get the offense going? He decided to start two completely inept offensive players, Kenyon Martin and Tyson Chandler. Woodson said time and time again the team needed to get going from beyond the arc. So clearly the way to do that would be to start two guys who can't hit a shot more than five feet away from the basket. Throw in Amar'e Stoudemire, and the Knicks gave 70 minutes to a trio of players who can't help the three-point game. Unless you are, in fact, Bizarro, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The Knicks won games this season by spreading the floor, hitting the three and playing small ball. In a game they needed, in a second-round playoff series, Woodson abandoned those principles and played big. Chris Copeland only found minutes when the Knicks fell far behind. Steve Novak was glued to the bench. Prigioni only played 3 minutes. Shumpert? Sixteen.
So who besides Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith are going to hit threes exactly? Ray Felton? Kidd? How can you get the three-point game going if you refuse to play the guys that shoot it well?
Throw in the fact that Smith hasn't been able to throw a stone in the ocean for two weeks, and the team never even had a chance. In many ways, their coach took it away from them.
At least the Knicks improved their rebounding with the big guys in the game, right?
Wrong again. They actually had a lower rebounding percentage with Chandler and Martin on the floor. Of course, if Woodson actually looked at the facts he would have seen that throughout the entire season, the Knicks have actually rebounded the ball better with Martin on the bench. Those are simple numbers you can find on NBA.com, yet somehow New York's head coach decided to start Martin. Great coaching.
Woodson's lineup decisions in Game 4 actually worked against what he said the team needed to improve after Game 3. Kidd is slowly approaching "Zombie Mike Bibby" status. Woodson played Martin with Chandler to help with rebounding, even though the numbers say that's a horrible idea. He preaches three-point shooting, but benches the team's shooters. It's madness, and when combined with his terrible play-calling against Boston, could be considered a fire-able offense. (An excellent regular season will save him that fate, and rightfully so.)
But let's not spare the Knicks' players from this little bloodbath. Anthony has averaged 26 points per game, but is shooting only 41 percent from the field. The Knicks need him to step up when the chips are down and his teammates aren't playing well. He hasn't done it. Though he's not the problem, he also hasn't lifted the team up with extraordinary play.
Smith has flopped again and again, and rightfully took the blame for the Knicks being down 3-1 in this series. If he wasn't shooting 28 percent from the field, the Knicks' offensive woes wouldn't look nearly as bad. Smith also isn't rebounding the ball the same way. His shooting woes are affecting the rest of his game.
The coach panicked last night, changing the way the Knicks play. The team paid for it. The players have proven they aren't physically or mentally tough enough to play with the Pacers.
It's not impossible to bounce back from three games down, especially when two are at home, but Woodson and his players need to make changes — the RIGHT changes — to make that happen.
They have a day to prepare, and better take advantage of it.
