Better late than never. Following a leaked internal document earlier this week, Verizon (NYSE:VZ) Wireless has made its new Edge program official. Edge is Big Red's new early upgrade program that hopes to compete with T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) Jump and AT&T (NYSE:T) Next.
Verizon Edge is fairly straightforward. There are no contracts or fees, and Verizon is offering a payment plan to finance the device. Customers can upgrade after six months so long as they've paid for 50% of the retail price. There is no subsidy to speak of, and Edge is geared toward customers who shun service contracts. The new plans launch at the end of August.
Verizon doesn't explicitly mention trading in the used device, but this is a given. If you've only paid for half of the device, you can bet Verizon wants it back so it can resell it. Verizon's plan is more similar to AT&T's in that there's no monthly fee just to participate, and that the only requirement to upgrade is that you've paid a sizable portion of the device cost.
AT&T spreads out the device's price over 20 months, while Verizon splits it into 24 monthly payments. Neither program requires a down payment, undercutting T-Mobile in upfront costs. AT&T effectively requires customers to pay for 60% of the cost (12 months out of 20), while Verizon will accept 50%.
Verizon says you can upgrade after six months, but if you do so, you'll find yourself on the hook to pay the difference. After six months, you've only paid 25% of the price, so you'll need to pay the difference out of pocket if you want to upgrade. On a $600 smartphone, that'll cost you $150 if you want to upgrade immediately after six months.
The real kicker is the service plan. T-Mobile now unbundles the service cost from the device cost. AT&T and Verizon are hoping that customers stay on the pricier service tiers, which are priced to include a subsidy recovery. If customers choose the pricier plans, even on a month-to-month basis, AT&T and Verizon effectively get to charge higher prices without shelling out a subsidy.
On the prepaid front, excluding device costs, it's a little more even. Verizon and AT&T both offer unlimited talk and text plans with 2 GB of data for prepaid customers for $60 per month. T-Mobile's comparable $60 plan includes 2.5 GB of high-speed data, although it allows unlimited data beyond that at slower speeds.
Big Red's move signals the third carrier to adopt a new early upgrade program, and now Sprint is the only national carrier left to unveil a similar offering. With all other three rivals launching upgrade programs, Sprint will inevitably follow suit.

A Fine Piano Recital
It is always a particular pleasure when an artist one has watched growing, achieves mastery. I knew Leon McCauley first as the promising student of Nina Milkina, herself, a great performer of Bach, Mozart and Chopin. Leon has developed into a great pianist himself as shown in his Queen Elizabeth Hall recital on December 1st.
He began with Janacek's In the Mist, continued with the Brahms – Handel Variations and Fugue, Chopins Impromptus, the four of which make a satisfactory whole, finishing with Samuel Barber's 1946 Piano Sonata.
The pianist played each of the works as if he was a specialist in that composer. In Janacek's piece one can see through the mist to the woods and the open-air, also to the salon and the indoors. The Brahms is a happy and fruitful work; strange how one variation reminds the listener of Mussorgsky, another of César Franck!
Was the first Impromptu played too fast, not so much like a butterfly fluttering by more like a swarm of bees in a hurry. But the rest was great Chopin playing, poetic, with the harmonic and melodic intricacies as natural as plant and flower complexities in nature.
I heard the premiere of Berner'd Sonata in Britain when the late, much cherished Natasha Litvin (Lady Spender) played it. Then I thought, it rather turgidly American and overlong, but I was wrong. At seventeen minutes McCauley made it sound not a moment too long. It is romantic music, predominantly emotional, rather reactionary but cogent in its argument.
The Scherzo is brief and as memorial as the one in Chopin's Funeral March Sonata. The fourth movement, the Finale, begins fugally, continues boogie-woggle and ends toccata-ly.
As an encore Leon played Schumann's Warum, which, so Myra Hess once told me had to be rendered as Pourquoi? during World War One.

John Sam Williams (born October 26, 1966) is a retired American basketball player. Williams played collegiately for LSU, and was drafted into the National Basketball Association by the Washington Bullets in 1986 with the 12th overall pick.
His girth earned him the nickname "Hot Plate" Williams, in part to help distinguish him from John "Hot Rod" Williams of the Cleveland Cavaliers who likewise played college basketball in Louisiana (at Tulane University) and who also entered the NBA in 1986.
Despite his size, Williams was a highly skilled basketball player. He was in particular an exceptionally good passer, and averaged over 4 assists per game in 3 separate seasons, an excellent average for a player his size. He was frequently used as a point forward, handling the ball and conducting the offense.
As a rookie, Williams averaged just under ten points and five rebounds per game for the Bullets. He improved significantly his second season, and started 37 of 82 games. The 1988–89 NBA season, his third, was clearly his best, as he achieved career-high season totals in almost every statistical category, despite coming off the bench in all but one game.
Williams' productivity declined in the five injury-plagued seasons that followed. He missed more than half of four of those five seasons due to various injuries, which, though not necessarily caused by his weight, were certainly aggravated by it. His eight-year NBA career included five seasons with the Bullets, two with the Los Angeles Clippers, and one (his final season) with the Indiana Pacers. He left the NBA in 1995, but played for some years in the ACB league in Spain, with moderate individual success.

Excellent to Know
It is somewhat comforting to know things do not change in the poker world. Played the 40+5 PLO8 MTT the other day. Nice cool grand on the line for first. Chipped up early when I flopped a small wrap with 234 on an A5 board. I got all in three ways and ended up making a runner runner flush for the scoop. I never looked back from there. I was a top five stack the entire MTT. Until the end.
I made one questionable play that ironically was like the first play. I flopped the nut low draw and a nut high flush draw along with a pair. I potted it and got called three ways. The turn brought a straight to the board and completed my low. So I popped it again. I missed my flush draw and lost about 8K of my 18K stack leaving me 10K and a solid middle stack. I was quartered in that hand on the low, and was beaten by the straight and set for the high. Big hand to lose there.
I stayed patient however and got my stack back up to 20K with 13 left. The first stack had 40K so I was in the running. I then got into this hand. I had A23J s00ted. The flop comes JJ9. A guy leads out and I am trying to decide of my AJ is any good. The turn brings another 9 and the guy ships it. I think the second nine is actually a good card. It brought me a flush draw which could be dead and also likely the best trips somewhat ruling out the J9 in the other guys hand. It could happen but I liked my odds here. So I jammed him and got it all in. I had him covered by a fair bit. He of course, being Greek, bent over and called with J6. As the six hit the river and shot me down to 13th place with 9 spots paying I knew the game had run its course. I had taken a three out beat and swung about 32K in chips. I would have been the chip leader with twelve remaining instead of the chump.
I ended up out a few hands later when I went with A3KQ s000ted against A33K rainbow. Not a good match up for me and IGH when the pair of threes hold.
Tonight I will be watching as the kiddo plays in his little league playoff game. Should be interesting. I think he may have a chance to pitch. He pitched a second game for an inning and ended up with two strikeouts and a grounder for a 123 inning. Solid pitching. His team is up against one of the better teams in the league. It is the Texas Rangers vs the Philadelphia Phillies. Feel free to open the prop betting line in the comments.

This weekend was busy, we bought 50# of beef, a new freezer, placed a deposit on half a pig, and ordered 1/2 a lamb as well. The house work was done, Mike and I got to go out on a date Friday night and I tried a pint Guinness for the first time (I was able to drink about half of it. lol), Sis took Sagan and Logan for a tour of the ASU campus, and the little boys, Fiona and I just sort of hung out. It was nice pleasant weekend.
|my little space in the bedroom
The weeks have sort of been like that lately, not much to report, just life happening, flowing smoothly (for the most part). I am working on a way to sort of do more with our days, focusing a bit more on homeschooling, I tend to do that occasionally... feel this need to move on and change what we have been doing. It seems to be working, the boys ask to do the new things. There is more reading going on, some math, learning about how rainbows happen, form drawing, working on our sad sad garden, feeding the hens, baking, sitting outside in the lovely sunshine. Days like these are just so precious, when you sit and think about it; slow, flowing days, that don't seem to take much effort, that just sort of happen.
Knitting has happened, I finally started on sock number 2, which is coming along, very slowly, but surely. For some reason I took a break to knit up some ankle cuffs for jingle bells to go on. They are super simple and fun, and sadly, waaaay too big for Miss Fiona Rosy's wee little legs, so they may just end up on the music basket and I will be forced to knit another pair (oh the hard ships I face). And reading, I have done a bit of that. I got a copy of Kindred in the mail the other day and have been savoring it, and like always, when I am feeling stuck and in need of mama inspiration I pull out my copy of Heaven On Earth and read through all the advice and become inspired again.

Daily Bread for May 15, 2 Chr 18-20
Today's readings are 2 Chr 18-20.
Combining the narratives from 1 Kgs 22 and 2 Chr 18 manages to fill in details either lacks if read separately. It also smooths out a storyline that can be a little hard to follow and understand.
After being defeated by Ahab, a wicked king of Israel, Ben-Hadad is flexing his military muscle once again and has captured Ramoth-gilead, a strategically located fort at the entrance to the Valley of Jezreel, the valley that dominates Northern Israel.
Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, makes peace with Ahab and agrees to go to war with him to take back Ramoth-gilead. Ahab has replaced the 400 prophets killed in the encounter with Elijah, presumably from the same ungodly groups the original 400 came from. They tell Ahab he will win a great victory. But, Jehoshaphat doesn't trust these pagan prophets and wants to hear from a prophet of God. Ahab calls Michaiah who has been at odds with Ahab.
At first, Micaiah gives Ahab a sarcastic reply. Ahab gets the sarcasm and wants the truth. Micaiah relates two visions to Ahab telling him his prophets are wrong, and the king will lose the battle and die. Micaiah also reveals that God is behind the error of the king's prophets, sending a lying spirit (1 Kings 22:23) to deceive the king and draw him into battle (think about that one for a bit). So, even though Ahab repented previously, he hasn't really changed his ways and will now suffer the consequences of his actions. It is curious that Jehoshaphat, who seems like a godly man, seems so willing to ally himself with Ahab.
Zedekiah, one of Ahab's primary prophets, accuses Micaiah of trying to co-opt the Spirit of the Lord. Zedekiah claims that he's the true prophet and Micaiah the false one. Micaiah prophesies that Zedekiah will have to hide from the enemy before it's all over.
Micaiah is thrown in prison with Ahab condemning him to stay there until he returns peacefully from the battle. Micaiah warns Ahab that he will not return.
Choosing to disregard Micaiah's prophecy, Jehoshaphat joins Ahab in the battle. In a cowardly move, Ahab disguises himself, but dies anyway, being struck by a random arrow. Jehoshaphat is protected and preserved by God.
Ahab dies well, but his men scatter after he succumbs. The prophecy concerning his death is fulfilled as they prepare his body and his chariot for burial. Dogs lap up his blood and prostitutes bathe in it.
Jehoshaphat returns to Jerusalem. He is a godly man and is blessed. But he had allowed his son Jehoram to marry Ahab's daughter, Athaliah. This questionable decision is probably the motivation behind Jehoshaphat's alliance with Ahab. This will have consequences.
In Ahab's sad story, we see that God is gracious but will tolerate outright rebellion for only so long before consequences occur. We must never mistake God's patience for His acceptance of ungodly behavior. His patience is always an act of grace, giving us time to repent.
In Jehoshaphat, we see any willingness to tolerate ungodly behavior or to compromise godly behavior can be dangerous. Any child of God who aligns too closely with ungodly people can be in danger. This is a lesson we, as believers, should take to heart. The influence of ungodly people on us can often be far greater than our influence on them.
Jehoshaphat has three areas of struggle pointed out; He went to battle with Ahab in spite of Mecaiah's warning. He entered into an ill-fated commercial venture with Ahaziah, an apostate. And, later, we will find out he and Jehoram embark on another ill-fated journey into Transjordan.
In 2 Chr 19, Jehoshaphat returns to Jerusalem. Jehu, a prophet of God, chastises Jehoshaphat for allying himself with wicked King Ahab. Jehoshaphat repents and institutes many reforms in Judah, turning the nation back toward God. He reinvigorates the Levitical priesthood and gives them the authority to judge.
Then, some of the nations to which the Jews showed mercy the when they first arrived in Canaan suddenly turn on Judah and attack. Jehoshaphat calls out to the Lord who miraculously delivers Judah.
It is no coincidence that these attacks happen just as Jehoshaphat makes a strong commitment to godliness. God frequently allows a vow to be tested just to reveal our level of sincerity. Jehoshaphat passes that test marvelously, by turning to God for help. God responds in such a way that only He can get glory for the victory.
Amazingly, after the victory, Jehoshaphat makes an alliance with yet another wicked king of Israel, Ahaziah. They agree to build ships to go to Tarshish. Another prophecy goes forth, condemning the venture. The ships all sink.
Apparently, Jehoshaphat still struggles with worldly issues despite being a godly man. His unchecked compromises will complicate matters for generations to come. He dies, leaving the kingdom to his son, Jehoram.

Shot on the cheap in under three weeks, this Brit-farce often lacks direction... not to mention a tight script. Aimless bickering ensues when a hoods Corey Johnson and Danny Dyer inadvertently take hostage a growing gaggle of estate agents, Jehovah's Witnesses and children's clowns. Much misses the mark, whether it's Johnson's toilet trouble, constant film referencing or the repeated use of the Stingray theme – and any tension in the quasi-kidnapping is sapped by continual cutaways to a superfluous sideplot involving vexed telly producer Martin Freeman. It's not all together terrible – Bosnian actor Velibor Topic is affably clueless as porno-taxidermist Bob. And while Freeman is saddled with a thankless voiceover, he snatches some late cringe-comedy gold opposite real-life girlfriend Amanda Abbington. Still, the latter's only two-thirds on the money when she quips, "It's been bizarre, disappointing... but entertaining."

Exploring what it means to belong in a certain environment, the Dan Bradica Constructions photography series looks at items that are seemingly out of place.
While paper originally comes from trees, the pile of cardboard boxes in the forest and a roll of stark white paper on a field of dead grass actually form a stark contrast with their surroundings. Red and yellow wrapping paper is molded and shaped by the branches of the tree it sits on, yet it clearly does not belong there. Same with the fluorescent lights that are physically attached to the trees, yet pop out with their neon glow as though they are floating in place.
By extension, Dan Bradica Constructions analyzes the human race's own place in nature.

text: NASSAU, BAHAMAS — ''You, my brother, prime minister, cannot fail us now.'' National Security Minister Loftus Roker told that to 2,000 delegates at the ruling Progressive Liberal Party convention last week. He was referring to Prime Minister Lyndon Pindling, whose government has been jolted by allegations of corruption and involvement in international drug trafficking. Roker urged Pindling to sever any ties with any group or activity that might ''mislead the public'' into thinking he condones ''shady activity.'' The PLP ''has an obligation . . . not to fail black Bahamians and not to fail black people of the world,'' he said.

Subscription fees got you down? En Masse Entertainment is now offering a one-week trial for its MMORPG TERA that lets you build up to eight separate characters to level 23 on one server. (That makes it sound like a dare.) While there are some other restrictions, it's not like this is costing you anything to try.
Patrick has been playing the game and recently shared his thoughts. Despite the more interesting quests being held until just around the trial's level cap, I think it'll be worth the time and energy to download for those of you who have yet to give TERA's combat a spin.
On a scarier note, En Masse says that players are averaging "nearly" 4.5 hours of game time daily. "That's more time than the average American spends watching TV each day," notes the press release. We're doomed as a species, aren't we?

Plastic Fantastic
I used to make jewellery but find it difficult now to make large pieces because of numbness in my fingers, I'm forever dropping things which is very frustrating with beads. So now I find I enjoy mixed media as I can do a bit at a time and choose the different materials to suit my mobility needs. I usually find a way to do a technique and there are many 'happy accidents ' lol which makes crafting much more interesting.
For this challenge I primarily chose shrink plastic, the blog post by Wanda Hentges inspired me.
I don't have fond memories of shrink plastic because it always seems stick together! Well the 1st flower I heated stuck together but managed to rescue it and the rest behaved and it was easy!!!
I stamped onto shrink plastic using Stazon ink.
Punched a hole in all of them.
Coloured them with Wink of Stella and Promarker.
Heated, waiting anxiously for the plastic to behave and not stick together, luckily only one stuck but saved it.
I needed a tie-back for my door curtain.
Found some chain to use as the tie-back but it was the wrong colour some I mixed Fresco paints to get a green. Applied it with my fingers.
Finally I attached the flowers, mushrooms and beads to the chain.
Voila! One off curtain tie-back.
Love it. This challenge given me my crafting mojo a jump start into making something useful and looks great too.

Sony Xperia Z C6603 received the Android 5.0.2 lollipops build 10.6.A.0.454 firmware. This firmware version can easily root and most significant this is it doesn't need a computer. With just a single app (APK) we can gain the root permission. This method works any version Sony Xperia Z.
Normally, Android 5 lollipops know as the hard to root, although with this King Root app it makes lots more easier. This app not only support Sony Xperia Z C6603 device 10.6.A.0.454 firmware, it supports Android 2.2 , 2.3 , 4.0, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 versions.
If you have a rooted device, after you manually installed Android 5.0.2 lollipop update with flashtool, it unroot the device. This method will not wipe anything on your device, although it's better to backup important stuff on your device. If you have already enabled sync with Google account your contacts are backed up. Make sure that photos, SMS, call logs etc backup.
Rooting void the warranty. Applying this tutorial at your own risk. We are not responsible for bricked (damaged) devices.
- King Root application in here.
How to root Sony Xperia Z C6603 10.6.A.0.454 Android 5.0.2 Firmware.
- Copy the downloaded application apk file to the internal or external memory card.
- Browse the app using a file manager.
- Install the app normally by just tap on the app.
- After the installation completed, run the King Root application normally.
- Once run the tool, it will take a few seconds to identify your device. At this time enable the wifi or data connection to connect the app to the development server.
- To start the rooting process tap on the app's main screen "Try to root" button.
- Next, you can see the progress bar with the completed percentage.
- This King root will install its own super user app called "King User" on your mobile. When the installation started, Android system will warn you about it's dangerous just like the following screenshot. Tap the check box and choose "Install anyway".
- Once the processor root Xperia Z Android 5.0.2 firmware it will show "root success message" just like the following screenshot.
- Now reboot the phone.
In my testing I try to switch to the SuperSU. Because it's my favorite Android super user permission manager tool. However, once I installed SuperSU it failed to update its SU binary. Looks like King SU doesn't allow full root permission to the SuperSU. So keeping your mind that at this moment, it's hard to switch to another super user app.

Good for the economy while good for your health
Prominent among the proposals for the future from Mr Turnbull as he assumes the prime ministership are ones that relate to economic growth. He seeks a more agile economy, one in which innovation is promoted and prized and where the negative forces of debt and deficit are dealt with by increasing productivity and growth. These aspirations are supported by stronger recognition in the new Cabinet of science and innovation.
Recently I have had cause to reflect on the place of health care in one piece of the Australian economy. Specifically, I was considering how much health care for the million citizens in western Sydney actually contributes to the economy. The answer is a lot. So, rather than portraying health care as a terrible drain on the national economy and incessantly saying we should cut our costs, we might express it differently.
We're an investment, not a cost!
Our health care is based strongly on science and innovation. The revolution that has occurred in diagnostic and therapeutics due to new technology is profound. Procedures that once took days now take minutes. New drugs work wonders. CT and MRI have completely replaced the ghastly contrast-medium angiograms and pneumoencephalograms. The productivity of surgeons and other proceduralists has multiplied many times over.
So, if you are looking to grow an 'industry' through science and innovation, you could do no better than to look at health. It leads the way. Great efficiencies and immense amounts of suffering due to dreadful procedures have been banished by science and innovation.
In western Sydney, the health services provide care to nearly a million people. Public hospital and associated community services operate with a recurrent budget of nearly $1.4 billion per annum. That's a lot of money pumped into the local economy. General practice likewise generates local expenditure in the millions.
Whether all this money is wisely or optimally spent is a separate and (I agree) an important question. But overlaying this concern is the fact that health care is a big contributor to the Australian economy.
What is the goal of the economy, we may ask? Surely it is to support the Australian community and enable us to compete in the world to maintain our prosperity and assist, as we see fit, to bring less-developed nations up to speed. Given that the segment of the global economy in which we compete is highly innovative and science-based, then we need to place emphasis on those attributes here Down Under.
As our future prosperity is unlikely to depend as heavily as it has in recent decades on ripping stuff out of the ground and selling it to China, inventing nothing, doing no innovation, making no scientific progress and then buying in all the creature comforts that we need from the US and Japan (and increasingly form China), we need to achieve self-sufficiency in innovation. That requires investment – in science, technology and education.
While it is hard to see these opportunities through the clouds of day-to-day slog in our hospitals and surgeries, investment in medical technological innovation, the education of smart scientists to develop even more and better equipment and drugs, the support of health research of all sorts – these things make an economy grow. These are the ways in which we develop economic agility and the nimbleness necessary to be able to adapt to change.
Health as a superior good
There is another important fact that tends to get in the way of clear perception of where health fits in the economy, and that is the complex notion that health is a superior good, something that we spend on almost without limit, constrained only by the extent of our discretionary income.
That is what makes trying to keep health costs under control so difficult. As affluence increases, ordinary goods such as food do not attract all that much additional expenditure. But health? We feel we can never get enough of it, and we are prepared as individuals and as a nation to keep on paying!
We have emerged from a period of economic discussion in Australia dominated by what many experts see to be an exaggerated concern for a relatively small deficit. The real economic challenge is the changing base of our revenue, away from minerals and coal toward service industries such as finance, education and health care. We need to be agile; we need to look for ways to increase our productivity through innovation and invention.
Health can help achieve those economic goals for the nation. Rather neatly, this can occur as a secondary outcome of our continued concentration on providing the best possible care for all Australians.

PITMAN — Freshman midfielder Amanda Filippone (Kenilworth/David Brearley) has been selected as the New Jersey Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Rookie of the Week for week six of the 2011 season after scoring two goals and adding two assists in a 2-1 week of non-conference action for the New Jersey City University women's soccer team as the Gothic Knights improved to 11-3 overall.
Filippone, who earns the award for the first time in her career, is the fifth different Gothic Knight to win a weekly conference award this season. She averaged 2.00 points, 1.67 shots, 0.67 goals and 0.67 assists per game for the week.
Filippone started two of the three games last week, seeing 176 minutes of action as a midfielder and defender. She also handed a number of throw ins and four corner kicks.
In an 8-0 home rout of John Jay College on October 4, she scored the first two goals of her NCAA career in the second half, taking five shots in the game, including four on goal in 75 minutes of action in her second career start.
In that game, Filippone scored the first two goals of her career in a span of 1:47 in the 66th and 68th minutes. At 65:39, Filippone split two defenders and buried a shot into the bottom right from the left wing. Then at 67:26, Filippone uncorked a header into the left side of the target off a cross to give NJCU a 7-0 lead.
After playing 53 minutes as a reserve in a 1-0 road overtime loss to Mount Saint Mary College on October 6, she made her third career start in NJCU's 7-0 romp over York College (NY) on October 8, playing 48 minutes. Offensively, she assisted on the game-winning goal just 2:16 into the action with a chip into the box before adding an assist in the 51st minute with another cross. The assists were her second and third of the year. She played defense for part of that game, helping the Knights limit the Cardinals to only one shot and none on goal.
After missing the first three games of the season with an injury, Filippone has been a factor in her first season, playing in each of the last 11 games. She has two goals and three assists for seven points with 14 shots, including 11 on goal, in 575 minutes of action. She is currently tied for fifth on the team in points and assists and sixth in goals.
"I first met Amanda a year ago when we were recruiting her and she said she really wanted to come and play here," recalled sixth-year head coach Robert Bielan. "When she became healthy in the second week of the season this year, I said 'you're here, now it's time for you to show what you can do.' Since that first game she really started to play hard and continues to play hard. She is a major piece of the future of this program. The kid is the first one to practice, the first one to pick up equipment, and first one to the drills and she's not afraid to ask questions."
Among the NJAC statistical leaders as of October 9, Filippone is tied for 12th in the league in assists and tied for 17th in assists per game (0.27).

They cover a range of different issues and it is intended that areas across Scotland will be able to learn from the experiences of new ways of tackling homelessness.
The Forth Valley Street Sport initiative for women in Clackmannanshire
An access to accommodation and skills for prison leavers scheme across Tayside
A multi-agency training project in East Dunbartonshire
A CAB Rent Arrears Scheme in East Lothian
The development of a Domestic Abuse Resource pack in East Lothian
The Safe as Houses project in Edinburgh
An anger management project in Falkirk
A housing and employment project in Glasgow
The announcement of was made as communities minister Malcolm Chisholm during a visit to Alloa to meet with those involved with Forth Valley Street Sport's previous initiative working with homeless men in Clackmannanshire.
Mr Chisholm said:
'Innovative approaches to helping people with their specific difficulties can assist in preventing homelessness.
'We were keen to support new projects not already funded within the existing preventative measures being undertaken as part of local authorities' homelessness strategies.
'These projects have at their heart issues which are often a cause of why people can be homeless. It is not enough to ensure accommodation is provided.
'Many people experience times in their lives where they may have financial, mental health or family problems and these can impact on their ability to stay where they live or keep their home.
'These projects identify some important issues and will use new approaches to help people tackle these so that they get the help and support they may need in order to rebuild their lives.
'These projects are of course not the only work being done to prevent homelessness in Scotland and I would like to take the opportunity of this announcement today to commend all those in local authorities, voluntary organisations, public services and communities for their on-going efforts to provide accommodation and help people to avoid homelessness.'
Clackmannanshire provost Derek Stewart said:
'I am delighted that Clackmannanshire has been successful in securing a share of the Innovation Fund to tackle homelessness.
'The Street Sport model that we have been running in Clackmannanshire for the past year has had a most positive affect on helping the men involved. With this additional funding we can now build on that success and roll out the programme to help homeless women and women at risk of becoming homeless, giving them skills and confidence to improve their lives and the lives of any children they may have.'
Douglas Reid, housing spokesperson at COSLA said:
'We welcome the investment in promoting new ideas to tackle homelessness. We congratulate the councils who were successful on this occasion, and hope that they and others get further opportunities to fund more prevention work in the future.'
The Innovation Fund was announced as part of the Statement on the Abolition of Priority Need to the Scottish Parliament on December 21, 2005.
The allocation of funding is:
£49,973 to the Forth Valley Street Sport initiative which will run between August 2006 and August 2007. This initiative will develop a programme of sports for women in order to promote self confidence and self esteem
£59,568 to the Tayside project working with prison leavers which will run from January 2007 to January 2008. This project will provide access to accommodation and skills for prison leavers, aiming to prevent homelessness by breaking the cycle of re-offending
£25,000 to the East Dunbartonshire multi-agency training project which will run from August 2006 to March 2007. Here, comprehensive training will be given to all front line staff in relation to homelessness 'triggers' and the range of services which can assist in prevention in order to improve inter-agency working and promote active signposting to services acting to prevent homelessness
£1,700 for the CAB Rent Arrears Scheme in East Lothian which will run from September 2006 to September 2007 and£5,404 for the Domestic Abuse resource pack project in East Lothian which will run from August 2006 to April 2007. These two projects are aimed at two separate issues. The CAB Rent Arrears Scheme will enable Citizens Advice Bureau to access financial information for individuals approaching them for assistance with rent arrears and the development of a Domestic Abuse Information Resource Pack will help signpost women who have experienced domestic abuse to services that may help prevent them from becoming homelessness
£55,220 for the Safe as Houses project in Edinburgh which will run from October 2006 to October 2007. This project aims to prevent and reduce homelessness amongst households at risk of domestic abuse through by installing practical safety measures in their current accommodation to reduce the need to spend time in temporary accommodation
£3,000 for the anger management project in Falkirk which will run from September 2006 to March 2007. This project will work with those with anger management difficulties to help improve their skills for engaging with agencies which can help them
£30,444 for the housing and employment initiative in Glasgow which will run from September 2006 to March 2008. Here, formerly looked-after young people will be provided with safe and secure housing association accommodation and employment opportunities

Burnley host Middlesbrough tonight in what promises to be a titanic tussle at the top of the Championship.
With four games remaining, Boro top the table by two points from the Clarets, with Brighton a further two points adrift.
Aitor Karanka's side travel down from Teeside on the back of six-successive wins, while Burnley are unbeaten in 19 league outings.
Ahead of a pivotal clash, Express Sport's Chris Boden (@bodenknights) and Jonathon Taylor (@JonathonTaylor1) of The Gazette in Middlesbrough compare the team's strengths and weaknesses, as they analyse the potential starting XIs.
Dimi Konstantopoulous - Has thrived behind a record-breaking defence this season and has won points single-handedly with a string of superb matches. An excellent shot-stopper, but will be disappointed with his error against Reading. 7/10
Tom Heaton - The England squad member is Burnley's captain and has been Mr Consistent. Clean hands and no fuss, solid and reliable, as good a keeper as there is in the Championship. 8/10
Emilio Nsue - Arguably Boro's most improved player of the season. Has added an attacking dimension to his game, and his versatility down the right has been a huge bonus. Scored the winner against Burnley in December's reverse fixture. 8/10
Daniel Ayala - Named in the Football League Team of the Year on Sunday, and his return from an ankle injury has coincided with Boro's six-game winning run. A colossus in the air, but has only started three games since returning from a lengthy lay-off. When fully fit, he's arguably the best defender outside of the top-flight. 7/10
Ben Gibson - A real Mr Reliable at the back, who has formed a formidable defensive partnership alongside Ayala. Part of a defensive unit that is currently the best in the Championship, conceding only 27 goals in 42 matches. 8/10
George Friend - Another player recently named in the Football League Team of the Year, and it's no surprise after the left-back's stunning campaign. His engine allows him to be rock solid at the back, but also a menace on the attack. Will be one of Boro's most crucial players at Turf Moor. 8/10
Matt Lowton - Had to wait until December for his first start, due to a pre-season injury and the form of Tendayi Darikwa, but has impressed as the side have gone 19 league games unbeaten. Composed on the ball, Lowton contributes at both ends with his willingness to overlap and whip crosses into the box 7/10
Michael Keane - Keane has nailed down a centre back berth after the sale of Jason Shackell, and looks like a Rolls-Royce at this level. Strong in the air and comfortable in possession, Keane can also chip in from set pieces, with four goals to his name so far this season 8/10
Ben Mee - Played the promotion and Premier League seasons at left back, but since coming inside to his more preferred central role, he has excelled, coinciding with Burnley's 19-game unbeaten league run. Terrific in the air, and brave as they come, a contender for Burnley's player of the year without doubt 8/10
Stephen Ward - Had to be patient for his chance until Mee switched inside, and has shown his Premier League and international pedigree. Another consistent performer in a back four which has 10 clean sheets in the last 19 league games. 7/10
Grant Leadbitter - Boro's captain who leads the team into battle. Since the defeat at Charlton, Leadbitter has been in excellent form and has led by example, combative in midfield and looking to get the team on the front foot. 8/10
Adam Clayton - Probably Boro's player of the season, who has transformed from valuable squad member to one of the first names on the teamsheet. Plays the percentages brilliantly, and his range of passing is crucial in keeping Boro on the front foot, probing and looking to unlock the opposition defence. 8/10
Albert Adomah - Brilliant at times, but quiet in others. Can potentially be Boro's match-winner as he has shown against Ipswich, Fulham and Preston already this campaign, and plays a big part in pinning down the opposition full-back. 8/10
Stewart Downing - Capable of unlocking any Championship defence. A bit quiet of late, but showed exactly what he can do by rattling a 25-yard effort off the underside of the bar at Bolton on Saturday. Offers natural balance on the left. 7/10
Joey Barton - His signing may have raised a few eyebrows, but Barton has been instrumental to Burnley's success so far this season. He understands and appreciates the manager and team's ethos, and has become a huge fans' favourite with his committed displays. 8/10
Dean Marney - Marney has made only nine appearances this season after recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury suffered in the Premier League, and a couple of niggles in between, but, described as "a machine" by his manager, his fitness is undoubted and he knows the route to promotion from this league. 7/10
Scott Arfield - Eight goals to his name this season, and newly-capped for Canada, Arfield has been a big part of Burnley's climb into automatic promotion contention. Industrious, and intelligent between the lines. 7/10
George Boyd - Player of the year in his first season at the club in the Premier League, Boyd hasn't hit the heights he did last term, but his workrate is beyond doubt, and is more than capable of providing a key assist or a goal, as he demonstrated at Birmingham. 7/10
Gaston Ramirez - Has highlighted his Premier League pedigree on a number of occasions, and has six goals since moving to Boro on loan from Southampton in January. But his contribution is more than that - he drifts into dangerous areas between the opposition lines, and gives other Boro players that extra half a yard of space. Pivotal player in Karanka's side. 8/10
Jordan Rhodes - Has always been a streak striker throughout his career, so scoring two goals against Bolton last time out was a pivotal breakthrough. A clever striker who drifts into good positions, but has struggled for regular service since his £9m January move. Scored four in his last six against Burnley. 7/10
Sam Vokes - Has proved the perfect foil to Andre Gray, having performed a similar role with Danny Ings two years ago. The Championship's Player of the Month for March is arguably in the form of his career. Far more than just a targetman. 8/10
Andre Gray - The Championship Player of the Season, and top-scorer with 24 goals. Add his eight assists, and he has contributed to more goals than any other player in the division. Pace and power have given Burnley a different dimension, and even when he's quiet in games, he remains a big threat. 9/10
Boro - 84
Burnley - 84

State sets rate
A letter from the Colorado Department of Revenue, dated Dec. 27, reveals the average market rate the state will be using to calculate its 15 percent excise tax on marijuana, as approved by voters in November. For the six-month period between Jan. 1 and June 30, average rates for unprocessed cannabis will be $1,876 per pound — or $117.25 per ounce — for retail flower, as it's called; $296 per pound for retail trim; and $9 a plant for retail immature plant.
"The Average Market Rate is a dollar value per pound of unprocessed retail marijuana," the Taxation Division writes. "The Average Market Rate was calculated based on responses by industry representatives of Medical Marijuana Businesses to the survey questions sent to them in October, November, and December 2013. ... It is important to note that with this being a new industry, the Department of Revenue will review and evaluate the current Average Market Rate every six months."
Still counting
While a majority of the rest of the state celebrates the end of cannabis prohibition, Every Vote Counts is still working to bring said freedom to Colorado Springs. "I should have poll results back this week or next week," said executive director Mark Slaugh last Thursday. "We just spent about seven grand on polling to see where the public sits with it. And then we have our initiative drafted, so as soon as we see what the results are, and do our second round of fundraising, then we'll see what we can do for getting it through."
Fear not (too much)
You're not supposed to light up in public, but if you do in Denver this week, don't expect a lot of trouble. "I am not going to have a team of officers specifically going out looking for people smoking marijuana," Robert White, chief of police, told the Denver Post on Monday. "If we get complaints or run into it, we're certainly going to investigate it. We have to balance our resources as it relates to addressing these issues."
The department caught heat earlier in the year when it failed to prevent smokers from blazing away in Civic Center Park during a protest against the now-passed pot tax.
A few weeks back, Cannabis Now sent out a press release touting a small industry victory: Apple's app store on iTunes accepted the magazine's digital edition. Beyond that, though, there's an interesting history there.
"After putting out its first two issues in Montana, the medical marijuana laws in the state became vastly restrictive preventing, among other things, advertising of any kind," reads the release. "After losing most of its advertising base virtually overnight, the magazine changed its headquarters and expanded to Berkeley, Calif."

There It Is, G.I.
Tim Burkman | Seattle, WA United States | 12/20/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned this semi-obscure gem on DVD and yet, here it is. I've watched the VHS version of T.S.N.K.E. (sink-ee) at least 200 times all the way through, but my first DVD viewing was like experiencing a whole new T.S.N.K.E. Scenes that once looked suspiciously lit by car headlights have been transformed into scenes that are clearly lit by car headlights. The soundtrack has been given the digital restoration it deserves and the commentary track is just weird. To realize that at least two other people still acknowledge this film is really spooky. Somebody pinch me."
Thou Shalt Watch This Flick
Rob | Detroit, MI | 04/19/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"From the world of Raimi and Campbell comes this mid 80's cult gem right out of DETROIT MICHIGAN!!! Where do I begin with this unique blend of war stories, gore, low budget style, insanity and action? Now as much as I like this movie, I know some may not get it and that is natural since b-movies or cult films tend to appeal to a limited but open minded audience. For those who are into this type of cinema, you came to the right place and it doesn't get much better than this movie. I think the most important aspect of this film is Sam Raimi's performance as the morbidly deranged Charles Manson like cult leader. Everything from his motions right down to classic lines such as "Don't you ever touch the sacrificial fluids... okey dokey" as he delivers it in the film will make you say this is the guy who directed Spider Man? It's a bold mixture of humor and instability. This film is also another example of low budget appeal and style that you can not reproduce so it is for sure a great campy film for its time. Now the filming location is credited as being shot at Bruce Campbell's old residence but no other locations are listed so it got me thinking that the war sequences and cabin shots may have been shot way out in the suburbs? Northville Tunnels would have been a great filming location for some of the scenes (those of you from the Detroit area will know what I am talking about). Also, fans of Evil Dead and low budget horror will really dig this flick. By all accounts, that acting is cheese and some of the effects are what you expect of a low budget film but this is why cult film enthusiast like us love these type of films."
A great tale of morality
keith15 | Stockton, CA USA | 04/21/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This DVD edition brings new life into an already great film. Scenes that were barely visible in the old VHS copies are now crystal clear. Be warned, however, that the audio commentary from co-writer Bruce Campbell and director Josh Becker, though occasionally insightful and consistently entertaining, does not give this film the credit it deserves. This is a very good film."

Mr. Blues : Wynonie Harris - part one©2006JCMarion
Wynonie Harris was born in July of 1915 in Omaha, Nebraska. In his teens he seemed to fit the cliche as a "born entertainer" around his home town . He was a singer, dancer, comedian, and drummer, but in a thoughtful moment in his life he decided to enter the field of medicine and so enrolled at Omaha's Creighton University as a pre-med student. Once he discovered the sound of the boogie woogie and blues stylings that were beginning to come into prominence in the mid thirties, medicine became an afterthought. He appeared around the Omaha area (at such spots as Bell's Club Harlem) and also spent some time in Kansas City which at the time was a hotbed of musical inspiration. About 1940 Harris decided to go West young man, and wound up in Los Angeles where the night club circuit was beginning to hit its stride along Central Avenue, the heart of the Black community.
After an appearance at Chicago's Rhumboogie in the early forties, he is heard by Lucky Millinder who was looking for a replacement for Sister Rosetta Tharpe as vocalist with the band. In the Spring of 1944 the Millinder band records "Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well" with Harris on vocal (Decca # 18674 with "Hurry Hurry" on the flip side). The record turns out to be a smash number one on the R & B charts. This gives Harris the push to go out as a solo artist. After leaving Millinder he records for Philo Records (soon to become Aladdin) in Los Angeles in the summer of 1945 with a combo led by Johnny Otis with "Around The Clock Blues - Parts 1 and 2" on # 103 which turned out to be his second top ten seller. The Johnny Otis band was often part of the line up at the Club Alabam, The Barrelhouse, and other legendary night spots along Central Avenue. Philo / Aladdin released "Cock-A-Doodle Doo" and "Yonder Goes My Baby" on # 104 followed in early 1946 by "Mr. Blues Jumped The Rabbit" and "Whiskey And Jelly Roll Blues" on # 171 as Wynonie uses his "Mr. Blues" nickname for which he is known throughout R & B circles. In November of the year "Rugged Road" and "Come Back Baby" are recorded on # 172. During the summer of 1947 Wynonie records "Big City Blues" and "Ghost Of A Chance" on # 196 followed by "Hard Ridin' Mama" and "You Got To Get Yourself A Job, Girl" on # 208. The next two years saw Harris record for a number of other independent labels starting with Apollo Records - "Young Man's Blues" / "Straighten Him Out" on # 360; "That's The Stuff You Gotta Watch" / "Baby Love" on # 361; "Somebody Changed The Lock On My Door" / "Wynonie's Blues" (which was a top seller on the R & B charts) on # 362; "She's Gone With The Wind" / "Here Comes The Blues" on # 363; "Poppa Treetop" / "Playful Baby" (another top ten seller) on # 372; "Everybody's Boogie" / "Time To Change Your Tune" on # 378; "Young And Wild" / "Take Me Out Of The Rain" on # 381; and "Rebecca's Blues" and "I Got A Lying Woman" on # 387. Harris also had a shot with Lionel Hampton's Hamp-Tone label and a couple of recordings for Nashville based Bullet Records - "Dig This Boogie" and the wonderfully named tune "Lightning Struck The Poor House" on # 251, and "Drinking By Myself" and "My Baby's Barrelhouse" on # 252.
In late 1947 Wynonie Harris decided to sign on with King Records owned by Syd Nathan and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. His first effort for the label was "Wynonie's Boogie" and "Rose Get Your Clothes" (great title)! In early 1948 Harris took on his own version of a tune by a young R & B artist named Roy Brown that was originally offered to Harris. "Good Rockin' Tonight" was the clarion call of the coming revolution in the musical tastes of America and the world. It was released on King # 4210 (with "Good Morning Mr. Blues" on the other side) It was a huge seller and a number one on the R & B charts. This was followed by "Love Is Like Rain" / "Your Money Don't Mean A Thing" on # 4217,and another top ten R & B seller "Lollipop Mama" with "Blow Your Brains Out" on the flip side of #4226. Wynonie rocked into 1949 (which turned out to be a monster year for Mr. Blues) with "Blowing To California" and "Bite Again" on # 4252, followed by a huge double sided hit record "I Feel That Old Age Coming On" and "Grandma Plays The Numbers" on # 4276. Another top seller on the R & B charts for Harris was his version of "Drinking Wine Spoo-Dee-Oodie" (also a hit for Stick McGhee on Atlantic) with "She Just Won't Sell No More" on # 4292, and still another top seller - "I Want My Fanny Brown" and "All She Wants To Do Is Rock" on # 4303 with both sides charting in the top ten.
In January of 1950 Harris gets together with the Dud Bascomb Combo for an extended engagement in Philadelphia at the Club 421. That same month King releases "Sittin On It All The Time" and "Baby Shame On You" on # 4330. By February the record is a top seller on the West Coast especially in California, and hits the top ten nationally. In rapid fire succession, King releases another side by Harris in late February with "I Love My Baby's Pudding" (another national top ten hit) and "I Can't Take It No More" on # 4342. In March at the Royal Theater in Baltimore features Wynonie Harris with his old mentor Lucky Millinder and his orchestra. In April "I Love My Baby's Pudding" is a big seller in Georgia and Florida. In May Harris plays the Paradise Theater with Erskine Hawkins ("Tippin In")and his band. In June, Harris joins Annie Laurie, Stick McGhee, and the Eddie Durham band for a string of one nighters through the South and part of the Midwest. In July Harris records "Good Morning Judge"(a top ten seller with "Stormy Night Blues")on King # 4378 and it immediately sells big on the West coast. In October "Mr. Blues Is Coming To Town" and "I Want To Love You Baby" is released on King # 4402. In November Aladdin Records releases an LP called "Blues After Hours" featuring some tunes recorded earlier by Wynonie Harris. Later that same month Wynonie and Lucky Millinder get together for King Records with two new records. On # 4418 "Oh Babe" (a top ten hit, also recorded by Louis Prima) features a vocal by Harris with the flip side of "Silent George" features Myra Johnson on vocal. On # 4419 as listed by Lucky Millinder, Harris does the vocal on "Teardrops From My Eyes" ( a cover of Ruth Brown's Atlantic hit), while the flip side is "Please Open Your Heart" with vocal by Lee Richards. The year ends as "Oh Babe" becomes a big seller in both Dallas and Houston Texas.
Wynonie Harris starts off 1951 with a new record for King - "Put It Back" and "Triflin' Woman" on # 4415. This is followed in short order by "I Believe I'll Fall In Love" and "A Love Untrue" on # 4445 and "Just Like Two Drops Of Water" and "Tremblin" on #4448. In July Harris undertakes his first trip to the West coast in three years which features an appearance at the annual Cavalcade Of Jazz concert at L.A.'s Wrigley Field which will headline Lionel Hampton, and also feature Billy Eckstine, Joe Liggins, Roy Brown, and Percy Mayfield. The tour of one nighters will also feature Stick McGhee, Annie Laurie, and the band of Eddie Durham. In June "Tremblin" is a hot seller in Georgia and Northern Florida. In July "Confessin The Blues" and "(Don't Roll Those) Bloodshot Eyes (At Me)" on King # 4461 is released. "Eyes" is an immediate best seller along the West Coast especially in Los Angeles, and soon becomes another national top seller. Harris plays a week at the Earle Theater in Philadelphia with Lil Green and the Joe Thomas band. In late September King releases # 4468 with "Man Have I Got Troubles" and "I'll Never Give Up" as Wynonie continues his prolific recording career with the label. In November Harris headlines at the Regal in Chicago along with Mabel Scott and Gene "Jug" Ammons. In December Harris goes into the recording studio with the Todd Rhodes band and records "Lovin Machine" and "Luscious Woman" on # 4485. Wynonie closes out the year with an engagement at Detroit's famous Flame Show Bar.

During Wednesday, Chad, Jordan, Oman and Rwanda ratified the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), which means the agreement now has reached the pre-determined threshold of 110 WTO members required for its immediate entry into force.
The purpose of the TFA is to significantly simplify and modernize customs procedures around the world. Customs procedures are often a costly and bureaucratic process and the TFA will especially help small businesses to access new export opportunities. This will in turn allow SMEs to play a significant role in increasing developing countries' involvement in global value chains. The TFA is estimated to reduce global trade costs by an average of 14.3 percent. African countries and least-developed countries are predicted to enjoy the biggest benefits from the agreement. Full implementation has also been found to potentially reduce the average import process time by 47 percent. Cuts in export time will be even more dramatic. Current estimates predict a 91 percent reduction of the current average. By making trade-related administration easier and less costly, the TFA will provide an important and much needed boost to the global economic growth. The TFA is expected to increase exports from existing traders while also enabling new firms to export for the first time. On top of that, the TFA is forecasted to add up to 2.7 percent a year to world export growth and more than 0.5 percent a year to world GDP growth over the next 15 years.
Trade facilitation is one of the EU's aid programming priorities. Roughly 30 percent of EU trade-related support include some aspect of trade facilitation. EU customs authorities will also play a leading role in the implementation of the agreement, acting both as a leading example and as an engine for further progress in trade facilitation within the EU and at international level.
Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström commented on the news by saying, "Better border procedures and faster, smoother trade flows will revitalize global trade to the benefit of citizens and businesses in all parts of the world. Small companies, that have a hard time navigating daily bureaucracy and complicated rules, will be major winners."

Uh, yes. I've skimmed back over my previous posts and noticed how many hovered timidly, some more boldly, around the idea of "self-doubt." Right. I think it's fair to say we've established the fact that in my writing process I deal with a lot of uncertainty. So. Lest I attempt to fixate again on what's apparently my favorite topic anytime soon, I'm making an official note:
(Though in retrospect I believe the correct phraseology is "kicking," not "beating." Bah.)
But now on to more positive mental images. SookieStackhouse.
Let me first say I've never watched any part of the True Blood series, so my comments are specifically for and about the Sookie Stackhouse books. I love them. Okay, many people love them, but these are some of the reasons I love her character specifically:
|link to artist here
1. She is funny, realistic about her "disability/gift," giving, hard working, curious, open-minded, but knows her limits. Most of them, anyway, which leads me to…
2. She grows emotionally and experientially through the books so that when she asks herself questions about some of her preconceived notions, we are made to ask ourselves those things also.
3. She bounces back from everything. Sometimes it takes time, and a little physical therapy, but she keeps going like we all have to do.
And I love the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books, Charlaine Harris. Okay, many people love her, but these are some of the reasons I love her specifically:
1. Her smile, and general demeanor in interviews, is real. When I was young I was told that if I ever got lost, I should find a grandma or mother with children to ask for help. I would definitely have gone to Charlaine Harris.
2. Her blog, which can be found here, is full of wisdom and wit. Read it all, piece by piece, I dare you. You'll feel better for it in the end. Like a spoon-full of sugar.
3. Her interviews are golden:
Hours logged today: 2 Pages logged today: 3 Total pages logged today: 120
Moment of Magic today:
Moment of Magic today:
Rocking little Beta to sleep this afternoon took longer than I'd expected, and so ate into what meager blogging time I've set aside for myself, but it was soft, sweet, slow. Humming.
It's magical that he is small enough still to fit in the crook of my arm, head on my shoulder, tiny puffs of breath on my neck, and we are like puzzle pieces. Perfect together.

For the sexy and seductive and the simple and sweet, sexy lingerie or intimate apparel can take you a long way. In today's not so modest times, we can see as much lingerie peeking out from a woman's outfit as we know to be hidden underneath.
Now with the amazing invention of the ever popular thong we don't have to look at unsightly panty lines, now we gaze our eyes upon a strip of cloth, as it makes its way just above the waist line of a pair of low-rise jeans. Slinky and silky bra straps in a rainbow of colors peak out and slide down bare shoulders and entice us with a playful appearance.
Vibrant colors and flashy patterns, nearly invisible and yet clearly seen, make an "it's all about me" statement as they glimmer through the faint fabric of our blouses, cotton shirts, and flimsy sweaters. We don't have to worry about how much cleavage we are showing anymore, its more about what color will be making its appearance through our shirts and blouses.
There are endless possibilities and combinations available, from two-piece sets to mix and match, sheer, lace, one piece and crotchless. Women have numerous moods to their personality, and lingerie has many ways and choices to share this with the world, or that special someone.
Choosing and wearing lingerie has become an undeniable passion. Any woman can honestly express herself through her choices of intimate apparel. A woman may allow her feminine side to shine, her sexy and seductive side to frolic, or her innocent and gentle side to excel. As women we should select our lingerie for the day solely upon the inner self-image we want to reveal, be it sexy and seductive or the sweet and innocent girl next door.
Do you think lingerie intended for comfort, cover up, or seduction? My guess is seduction, but I'm sure it is probably a tad bit of all three. The comfort of a woman's bra and panties is of vital importance. Believe it or not, the garment that lies closest to a woman's body, directly impacts how a woman feels, be it sexy and seductive or sweet and simple. A woman can be transformed when she puts on her undergarments or lingerie. Her feminine side comes to head and will take over how she feels, and what she thinks about herself.
We no longer as women put forth any effort in hiding our undergarments; instead, we flaunt it and put it out there for everyone to see. After all, it is very sexy and appealing. You know you look when you see a young woman exposing her undergarments and sometimes wish you were showing yours. Remember, women have advanced in such a way that no longer is the need to hide their sexuality. The fact is, intimate apparel is at the very top of our "desired gifts" list. Quality is an important factor when shopping for our lingerie, K-mart and Wal-mart just won't do.
Lingerie is the gift of love and romance. Lingerie is often given as a gift as a sign of desire, a insinuation of appreciation, and a true meaning of love. Lingerie no longer has the same rationale of or mothers and grandmothers. There will be more corsets and gussets to squeeze and bury a woman's natural and beautiful assets.
A woman wants to look her best and is willing to try almost anything to enhance her appearance. Including the use of padded bras or padded butt cheeks we do what we can to enhance or conceal or natural assets. Whether a woman is trying to maximize or minimize what she has or doesn't have, lingerie has been specially designed and is most desirable for doing the trick.
From formed and fitted, push up and control, no seam or full seam, ultra-this and ultra-that, skimpy or flowing, sheer or obscure, snap crotch or crotchless, strapless or crisscross, demy cup or full cup, all of these are variations and more are designed for the sole purpose in mind of enhancing a woman's inner and physical beauty.
Wearing lingerie is a natural art and is not a difficult one to master. You need to simply discover what styles fit you best – both physically and sensually. Mix this with the colors and prints that you like and enjoy. Bless your lingerie wardrobe with a little mix of everything, from sexy to sweet. Make your choices carefully, purchase your items wisely, and most importantly wear you're lingerie proudly.
Think back; remember the first date with a new guy. Remember how it felt to wear the new bra and panties set. Remember how pretty you felt. We owe it to ourselves to feel like that every day! And for our men sexy lingerie is like unwrapping a Christmas present. And ladies don't forget our men like to feel sexy too, a gift of sexy men's underwear could just warm up a cool libido.
More Hot and Sexy
How did you get those pictures of my girlfriend? She said she wouldn't show that net outfit to anybody!
Even if you don't have anyone special at the moment to show off your sexy bra and panties to, simply wearing them for YOU can boost your confidence and make you feel sexier.
Lingerie Im guilty of.
Hi, like this hub. I hate it when women wear low-rise jeans, bend down and their g string shows. For me, as a full blooded male..less is more..and the more mysterious the better!

Doing Well by Doing Good:
Marketing and Management Science in the 21st Century
by Samuel Sewell firstname.lastname@example.com (239) 591-4565
The business community in America has, at best, a tenuous grasp on the indisputable principle that honorable conduct is a prerequisite for abundant profit! Benjamin Franklin understood the benefits of enlightened and ethical business practices when he advised, "Do well by doing good."
Throughout the history of capitalism many entrepreneurs have prospered through application of this principle. A selected review of early industrialists makes the point that these entrepreneurs were driven by their own personal philosophy; that doing "good" for their people means that their business will also do "well."
But it wasn't until the 1960s that modern management science began to teach students that they can create stable wealth by doing"good" for their employees, their customers, and their communities. Finally, a fundamental truth that guides the creation of sustainable wealth was available to business students.
Today there is excellent data, both qualitative and quantitative, showing that a company's successful relationship with people as well as ethical business practices is positively related to its financial performance.
Four scholars, from divergent fields, deserve the credit for developing the established principles that produce optimal wealth. Let's take a brief look at these pioneers.
Maslow, Drucker, McGregor, and Nash is not a law firm. MDMN is an acronym created to serve as a reference point for this discussion on modern marketing and management science.
Abraham Maslow, through his books and teachings, brought us the psychology of business. The father of modern management, in his book, Maslow on Management, states that "The good society is one in which virtue pays." In an ideal society prosperity is the natural consequence of "doing good."
Peter Drucker's primary academic career was spent at Sarah Lawrence College. He also published 39 books on management which were translated into 30 languages. In 1995 Peter Drucker stated, "I became an immediate convert: Maslow's evidence is overwhelming. But to date, very few people have paid much attention. He (Maslow) wrote Eupsychian Management to bring McGregor and me down to earth." Here in the 21st century it remains true that very few people are aware of the contribution ofMDMN.
Douglas McGregor, PhD in psychology from Harvard University, was a management professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he created and developed the 'X' and'Y' theories of human motivation and management. These theories describe two contrasting models, coming from two opposing sets of general assumptions about workforce motivation. Theory X stresses the importance of strict supervision, external rewards, and penalties. It's all about control by management. In contrast, Theory Y has a profoundly more profitable influence in the motivating role of job satisfaction, by encouraging workers to approach tasks without direct supervision.
McGregor's book, The Human Side of Enterprise (1960) had a significant influence on the relationship between management and employees. He pointed out that "The ingenuity of the average worker is sufficient to outwit any system of controls devised by management." Like all natural systems, human behavior cannot be controlled; however it can be managed. McGregor went on to say that "Any attempt by management to enforce behavior that is contrary to human nature is preordained to fail. Conversely, management methods that compliment human nature are sure to provide wealth and well being for all concerned.
John Nash, in the hit movie A Beautiful Mind, is at a bar with three other friends when he begins to develop a theory of what is now called Nash Equalibria, the idea that won him the Nobel Prize and the respect of his colleagues and loved ones, despite his schizophrenia.
At the bar, he and his three friends begin to compete for the beautiful blonde in a group of five women. "If we all go for the blonde" Nash says, "we block each other; not a single one of us is going to get her…and we insult the other girls. But, what if no one goes for the blonde? We don't get in each others' way, and we don't insult the other girls. It's the only way to win….the best result comes from everyone in the room doing what's best for himself and for the group."
The two most important conclusions gleaned from John Nash's equations are;
1. More profit is created through cooperation than through competition.
2. Nice guys finish first.
For more background we suggest becoming familiar with the works of Peter Drucker and Abraham Maslow, as well as Douglas McGregor, and find out why John Nash won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1994.
One can hardly complete a business course on the college level without being introduced to the difference between the "X" and "Y" theories of management, as well as Maslow's needs hierarchy. These classes however do not provide adequate familiarization with modern management science, nor do they really explain Maslow in relationship to management.
Most courses fail to convey adequately the idea that profits are maximized when respect for the "human side of enterprise" is obvious. Maybe an additional problem is that students of business do the same thing with their subjects that I did with Algebra. I did whatever math was necessary to graduate, and have never worked another algebra problem for the rest of my life.
While the MDMN ideas are slow to catch on, a small group of today's upper echelon management professionals strive to find creative applications for these principles. Because of intellectual competition and academic hubris, the contributions of MDMN are rarely available in a single source, no matter what college you attend. Best Self USA management curriculum includes the contributions of MDMN in its marketing and management training program for individuals and organizations.
I hope this helps remind business people of their college days, and encourages them to use proven profit enhancement principles based on "good guys finish first."

This is hard work part 2
A friend remarked that she see these boxes all the time when she's with me - well it's actually itinerary planner that I drew out myself based on the number of days that I will be holidaying around. I believe it started when I was planning my first major India trip. Then I used it as an outline for New Zealand as well.
Anything like 4 days/short weekend getaway thing don't need this and whoever said holiday is a breeze have seen nothing yet. Might sound like a Nazi but actually the timing is quite flexible but because it is such a short holiday without planning you might end up missing some nice spots and doing some nice stuff. Just go with the flow will only work if you are doing a RTW trip.

I LOVE Founders Red's Rye PA. It's a strong, hoppy, spicy ale that has tons of flavor and aroma from a combination of a complex grain bill and a ton of Amarillo hops. Last year, I found a clone recipe and made it. It turned out great (after about 4 months of aging in the keg), but at 7%, it was pretty deceptively easy to put away, and put me down for the night pretty early.
With summer coming, and a bunch of rye to use, I thought of scaling the recipe down to about a 5-5.5% 'session' rye pale ale. The initial recipe (on the right) used Cascade and Amarillo, and came out at around 85 IBUs. This new recipe (also over there on the right) uses all Amarill0 hops, and the grain bill is scaled back and changed a bit.
No photos of the brew session, though I will say it went smoothly. It was only a five gallon batch, since I still haven't put the keggle back together yet. I was planning on using a smack pack of Denny's Favorite yeast, but the pack wasn't inflating as much as I'd liked, so earlier in the day I rehydrated two packs of US-05 instead. When I went to bed last night it was bubbling almost non-stop, and had a nice krausen on top of it. I plan on dry hopping this in the keg with another ounce or two of Amarillo.
The ten gallon batch of Cascadian Dark Ale I brewed last weekend is done. I plan on kegging half of it (with an ounce or two of Cascade in the keg), and dry-hopping, then bottling the other half. Final gravity was around 1.018, and it had a nice hoppy bite to it, with just a hint of the dark malt roast flavor. It's a different flavor that I've really come to enjoy.
