Torrington >> Now that election season is over and the results are in, newly elected state legislators, Republicans Clark Chapin and Jay Case are preparing to take office for the first time. Although the priorities are different for each elected official, there's one thing they have in common on their agenda — developing new plans for Torrington and its residents.
Chapin, a resident of New Milford was recently elected as the 30th district's State Senator. Chapin said Monday that his biggest priority for his district is finances.
"My biggest priority will be helping get the state's finances in order without passing the burden onto the towns," Chapin said in an email. "The governor just said his budget wouldn't include more tax increases, so we'll have to wait and see if legislative leadership wants to go in a different direction."
When asked specifically about Torrington, Chapin said he hopes to incorporate the experience he acquired when representing New Milford — as a state representative in the 67th District — to his new role as a senator.
"I plan on representing Torrington the same way I represented New Milford for 12 years, by being responsive to the needs of local government officials as well as city residents," he said.
In addition, Chapin said improving Torrington's economy and providing jobs is one of the most essential items on his agenda.
"Jobs and job security are common themes I heard from residents during the campaign. Many people also continue to be financially stressed by taxes and the cost of living. These issues are not likely to go away any time soon," he said.
Despite Torrington's current economic hardships, Chapin is ready to take on the challenge.
"We all benefit by improving the local economy, so I stand ready to help with Torrington's ongoing economic development efforts," he said.
Before Chapin officially begins his job in Hartford, he plans on meeting with the many chief elected officials in his district to hear what they believe are the biggest challenges. The 30th district includes the towns of Brookfield, Canaan, Cornwall, Goshen, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Milford, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Warren, Washington and Winchester. Continued...
"I plan on making myself available to the chief elected officials in all towns so I can be brought up to speed on what each finds to be the most pressing issues," he said. "I'm excited to learn more about each community in the district. I also look forward to working with Senator (Kevin) Witkos (R-8th) and Representatives (Roberta) Willis (D-64th) and Cook (D-65th) in representing Torrington."
Taking a similar approach as Chapin, Case believes job creation and working with the district's finances are the first items on his agenda.
"The first order of business is getting the fiscal books in order," the freshman Republican representative said. "We're $60 million in the hole, and that's after four months of the budget."
"Our fiscal books need to be put in order. Once they're put in order, we can spend money," he added.
As for job creation, Case said small businesses will be the key for bringing more jobs back to the area.
"Small businesses are the backbone of Connecticut," he said. "Cut the red tape and let them flourish — 5,000 businesses left the state. You lose five thousand small businesses and what does it do for a small town like Winsted? Nothing."
Case believes his experience as a small business owner will give him the tools to successfully create jobs.
"Being a small business owner for 15 years, I know what it means to create jobs. Government doesn't create jobs, businesses create jobs. Enough of the one-party government," he said.
Case said he is preparing for his first session by meeting with the Republican Caucus on Nov. 15.
But according to Case, the bottom line going into office is creating jobs and "stop taxing people out of their homes," he said. Continued...
"That's it, I (have to) get to Hartford," he added.

strong indictment of AAU right heah
hoops game recaps
Wisconsin AARRRGGGHHH, Michigan FFFFUUUUUUU
Halftime stats on the left, final stats on the right, via scacchoops.com
If you're expecting a reasoned, informative recap of the game, I highly recommend stopping right now and looking elsewhere.
Still here? If so, you are either in search of schadenfreude or have a remarkably strong will to make your life miserable.
Michigan lost to Wisconsin 68-59 in a complete abomination of a "basketball" game. The halftime box score resembles something from a middle school junior varsity game in which all the players are blackout drunk. The Wolverines held a three-point lead at the break, courtesy of Wisconsin's inability to hit anything (5/29 from the field). The Badgers made it appear, momentarily, like Michigan had discovered how to play defense.
Then the second half began, and the Wolverines remained stagnant on offense while entirely forgetting how to guard the perimeter. After hitting 2/13 shots from beyond the arc in the first half, Wisconsin connected on 6/9 three-pointers in the second—most of their looks came without so much as a hand in the shooter's general vicinity, let alone a legitimate contest.
Trey Burke did his best to stop the bleeding, scoring 15 of his 19 points in the second half, and Tim Hardaway Jr. (14 points, 5/9 FGs) admirably returned from a sprained ankle to knock down a couple big shots. Nobody else cracked double digits, however, and any semblance of an offense rapidly devolved into the "Trey, go do something" strategy. Burke was forced to jack up 15 shots in the final 20 minutes; no other Wolverine attempted more than four.
Major culprits included, well, pretty much everyone. Ryan Evans scored nine of his 13 in the second half, abusing Glenn Robinson III and Hardaway down low—Robinson struggled so much that Spike Albrecht took his spot in the lineup down the stretch. Jordan Morgan started but played just eight horrible minutes, turning the ball over three times, completely unable to hold onto the basketball. Nik Stauskas went 1/8 from the field. Burke had an uncharacteristic four turnovers, though given the circumstances it's difficult to lay much blame on him.
A guy who shoots free-throw jump shots, a redheaded Art Garfunkel, and Ben "#@*#$@" Brust combined for 28 second-half points, going 4/8 from two and a perfect 5/5 from three. If there's a College Hoops Fan Hell, it is watching that game on a continuous loop while Bo Ryan waves the last bottle of whiskey in existence in your face, refusing to let you drown your sorrows.
Michigan will still play in the NCAA tournament, of course, and there's even a chance that I'm willing to watch basketball by then. They won't play Wisconsin, mercifully.
F*** Wisconsin.
Michigan 83, Penn State 66
Photo credit: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Mitch McGary snatched the rebound out of the air, turned towards the Michigan bench, and let out a guttural yell that could be heard from across the court.
Michigan had looked listless—yes, again—to begin the game against Penn State. The Nittany Lions jumped out to a 14-3 lead after Jordan Morgan couldn't finish three layup attempts and the Wolverines as a whole couldn't slow down Penn State's pick and roll. Enter McGary, who ended PSU's run with a layup, then overcame a missed breakaway dunk to record a first-half double-double.
The McGary Growl came with the score tied at 16, and his histrionics immediately lifted the spirits of the players on the bench—and on the court. On the next possession, Nik Stauskas sunk a three, and the Wolverines wouldn't trail for the remainder of the game, pulling away late for a comfortable 17-point win. When called upon to infuse energy to a team that couldn't shake their previous struggles against Penn State, the freshman big man did that and more, finishing the game with ten points on 5/6 shooting (all in the first half) and 11 rebounds, five of them offensive.
After McGary kept the team afloat in the first half, the rest of the team stepped up in the second. Trey Burke led all scorers with 21 points, pouring in 13 in the second half on 4/6 shooting. Stauskas contributed nine of his 15 points in the latter stanza, including a "Game ... Blouses"-style dunk and nifty and-one layup. Jon Horford tallied all 11 of his points in the final 20 minutes, going 4/4 from the field in that span.
Gradually, over the course of the second half, Michigan's lead grew—after PSU's Jermaine Marshall tied the game at 39 with 17:25 left, the Wolverines outscored the Nittany Lions 44-27. Some added defensive intensity certainly helped; after Michigan ceded 14/26 two-point shooting in the first half, Penn State hit 12/26 from inside the arc in the second half. That may be just a two-shot difference, but the makes were more difficult to come by, at least.
Michigan moves on to play Wisconsin in the second game of the day tomorrow (~2:30 EST), and this game brought up some concerns for the rest of the tournament. Interior baskets were far too easy to come by for PSU, especially Sasa Borovnjak, who scored 15 points on 7/10 FG despite no offensive rebounds. The Wolverines looked lost defending the pick and roll, and offensively they biffed more than their fair share of layups.
They finally beat Penn State handily, however, outdoing KenPom's prediction by a point. Blemishes or no, that's taking care of business, and the team's first double-digit win since February 24th was a welcome sight.
Mitch McGary may not play pretty, but his contributions were also a delight—both to the fans and his teammates, apparently.
Indiana 72, Michigan 71
The final shot (Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog). An even more painful angle here.
This wasn't how Trey Burke's almost-certainly-final home game was supposed to end.
With 27 seconds left and Michigan clinging to a one-point lead, Burke stepped to the line for a one-and-one. The 79% free-throw shooter caught the left side of the iron, and a stunned Crisler crowd watched the ball ricochet to the corner, where it was corralled by Cody Zeller. On the other end, Zeller laid in two of his game-high 25 points to give Indiana the lead, and with no timeouts it was up to Burke to engineer a game-winner with 13 seconds left.
Burke's found daylight driving down the left-hand side, but he couldn't finish with his outstretched left arm while trying to draw contact. The rebound went directly to Jordan Morgan, whose putback hung for an agonizing moment before falling unceremoniously off the precipice. Christian Watford chased down the rebound and saved the ball to Zeller, and in the blink of an eye Michigan had gone from the verge of a second straight Big Ten title to watching the Hoosiers celebrate an outright crown on their home floor.
Michigan's first home loss of the season has consequences going beyond a missed banner; with the loss, the Wolverines are locked into the fifth seed of the Big Ten Tournament. Instead of a bye, Michigan will face Penn State in the first round on Thursday afternoon.
In the aftermath, John Beilein praised his team's effort, but said there are "some things we have to work on" if his team wants to compete in Chicago this week and, beyond that, the NCAA Tournament.
Rebounding is clearly one of those things. Indiana pulled down 24 of their 40 missed shots, which helped them overcome an unusually subpar shooting effort from inside the arc (23/54). Four of Zeller's ten rebounds came on offense, while Victor Oladipo tallied seven en route to his own double-double (14 points, 13 rebounds). Oladipo also starred on defense, playing most of the game man-up on Burke; while Michigan's star tallied 20 points, it took him 20 shots to get there, and his four assists were cancelled out by four turnovers.
With Burke held in check, Michigan's supporting cast couldn't get the job done. Tim Hardaway Jr. was 4/6 from two but just 1/6 from three and missed the front end of his own critical late one-and-one with the chance to extend Michigan's lead to five. Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III combined for 17 first half points but just eight in the second stanza. Jordan Morgan and Mitch McGary were 5/14 from the field and each had just two defensive rebounds.
In the end, failing to do the basics cost Michigan a banner. In the last 52 seconds, the Wolverines missed three of four free throws—along with the chance to attempt two more—and allowed six points to Zeller, two of them on a putback after Michigan once again couldn't box him out. When it came time to prove which team was the best in the Big Ten this season, Indiana stepped up.
Instead of rising to the occasion, Michigan fell victim to familiar bugaboos, then watched as their two best players missed undefended 12-foot shots to seal it. The final shot rolling off the rim was the final nail in a coffin the Wolverines had constructed for themselves.
A dejected Trey Burke walked off the court with his head down after the final buzzer. His magnificent, brief career at Crisler is probably over, and he won't want to read the last page of this particular chapter.
Michigan 58, Michigan State 57
Eric Upchurch/MGoBlog
Trey Burke's legs were failing him. He'd just missed a jumper, and on the ensuing Michigan State fast break he couldn't get back to close out on Gary Harris—while Harris missed the open three, Michigan's discombobulated defense couldn't keep Derrick Nix from hitting the putback.
The basket cut the Wolverine lead to four with just over six minutes to play, and the only Wolverine to consistently produce offensively appeared to be running on fumes.
On the very next possession, Burke found a way past MSU's Keith Appling for another layup. He'd score six more points to close out the game, and of course came up with two steals to seal a classic nailbiter against Michigan's chief basketball rival. The only Wolverine with more than four made field goals, Burke ground his way to 21 points on 8/17 shooting with eight assists, two turnovers, and five(!) steals. As if that wasn't enough, he held Appling to nine points on nine shots.
The lasting images of this game will be Burke's pickpocketing of Appling at midcourt, subsequent breakaway dunk, his jubilant—and yes, just a bit mocking—slapping of the floor (left, Upchurch), and his final swipe of Gary Harris to end the game. For me, though, it will be him trying, and failing, to get back on Harris, only to dig into the deepest recesses of his soul and find the energy to pull out the win.
Michigan's chances to win took a huge blow just four minutes into the game, when an errant elbow from Branden Dawson caught Nik Stauskas flush above the eye, opening up a nasty cut that required 12 stitches and left the Wolverines without their best outside shooter. Not coincidentally, Michigan missed all 12 of their three-point attempts in the game. Miraculously, this didn't spell their demise.
That had much to do with Michigan's much-maligned big men. Jordan Morgan, who barely played in the first contest between these two, hounded Spartan forward Derrick Nix into six turnovers with stellar on-ball defense and several drawn charges. Mitch McGary scored 11 points off the bench (4/6 from the field) with three offensive rebounds, bringing the team much-needed energy and even hitting a couple clutch free throws down the stretch (yes, he also missed the front end of a one-and-one and had a critical late turnover, though it appeared the latter was a botched call, by no means the only one in this game).
With Stauskas absent, Caris LeVert was forced to take on a big role and came through as well as one could ask of a rail-thin freshman in a tight, physical contest. While he missed all three of his shots from downtown, he hit 4/8 two-pointers—including a pretty up-and-under at the first half buzzer to cut Michigan's halftime deficit to three—and played solid perimeter defense. Fellow freshman Glenn Robinson III chipped in eight points (4/6 field goals), and unlike the first game the Spartans couldn't take advantage of his interior defense, in large part because John Beilein did his best to play two bigs when Nix and Adreian Payne were both on the floor.
There were struggles, of course. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored just six points on 3/12 shooting and had three turnovers, looking like the scuffling Hardaway of last year. In the first half, the Spartans rebounded ten of their 20 missed shots, and the Wolverines' inability to keep them off the glass opened up the perimeter—State took advantage by hitting 5/11 first-half threes. A late five-point possession for MSU featured an and-one and two offensive rebounds, cutting a ten-point lead in half when it appeared the Wolverines could cruise to victory.
In the end, though, it was Burke's day. Even with the gas tank perilously close to empty, Burke staked his claim as the best player in the country. In doing so, he not only kept the Wolverines from going into a tailspin, but propelled them to second place in the Big Ten, with an outside—but very real—chance that next Sunday's game against Indiana will be for a share of the conference crown.
The final stat line may not be as gaudy as some of his others, but this was Trey Burke's entry into Michigan basketball lore. Slap the floor—the Wolverines aren't done defending their Big Ten title.
Michigan 79, Penn State 71
Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog
Michigan looked fresh, resplendent in their 1968 throwback uniforms, several players with Fab Five-inspired fade haircuts. Crisler Center hadn't looked better as the Wolverines took the court in front of a who's-who of former Michigan greats in town for the building's rededication.
Then began the game, an expected blowout win over a hapless Penn State squad, and they didn't look fresh at all.
The Nittany Lions scored more points than they've had in all but two of their conference games, consistently finding gaping holes in Michigan's defense. While it never felt like the Wolverines were in serious danger of losing, neither did it feel like they were in serious danger of playing at their best.
Trey Burke was the only Wolverine who appeared to be playing with full force from the opening tip—no other Michigan player hit a shot from the field until over 11 minutes elapsed. Burke finished with a season-high 29 points on 9-of-16 shooting while doling out five assists with zero turnovers.
While it's expected that Burke will excel every game, Glenn Robinson III's performance this afternoon was a welcome sight after he'd been a non-factor in the last four games. Robinson tied a career high with 21 points (6-6 FG, 9-11 FT), attacking the basket with an array of dunks and adding 10 rebounds for his second career double-double.
Michigan also got an offensive boost from Nik Stauskas, who overcame a 2-for-6 day from beyond the arc by getting to the bucket, hitting all three of his two-pointers and all six of his free throws en route to 18 points. On the other end of the court, though, Stauskas failed to bring the same intensity, and he was repeatedly the culprit when Penn State got an open lane to the hoop.
Stauskas wasn't the only offender, and it was that poor perimeter defense that led to a 32-32 tie at halftime; Penn State shot 50% inside the arc in the first half, and Michigan ceded an uncharacteristic ten free throw attempts. Even as the Wolverines slowly pulled away in the second half, the same problems remained, which is how they allowed a team averaging 0.86 points per possession in Big Ten play to put up 1.06 points per trip this afternoon.
The Wolverines lacked much in the way of secondary scoring. Tim Hardaway Jr. continued to struggle from the field, grinding out eight points on just 3-of-11 shooting. The next-highest scorer was Matt Vogrich with two points, and the three centers—Jordan Morgan, Mitch McGary, and Jon Horford—combined for zero points on five shots.
Morgan started for the first time in four games but is clearly still working his way back from an ankle injury—he played just seven minutes, with Horford taking his spot at the start of the second half. Vogrich, meanwhile, got his first meaningful minutes since non-conference play, but after he allowed two open Penn State three-pointers it was clear he's not the solution to Michigan's defensive woes.
The game wasn't all bad. Robinson dazzled the crowd with a series of impressive finishes, including one off an out-of-nowhere no-look pass from McGary. Burke played like he does, which is to say he dominated, hitting several unlikely looks. Stauskas found a way to produce even when his outside shot abandoned him.
Against a Penn State team that's now 0-13 in the Big Ten, however, it's hard to feel good about a few bright spots. The defensive effort Michigan put forth would result in a loss against any other team in the conference; their next opponent, Illinois, would be overjoyed to face the same level of resistance next Sunday.
It was a win, sure, and a much-needed one at that. If Michigan wants to claw their way back into contention for the regular-season title, though, they'll need to fix some glaring issues, and fast.
That game, basically. This week, too.
I guess this serves as your game recap, but mostly I just want to bump Bo Ryan's face down the front page. I'm completely okay with never seeing him again.

We actually didn't witness what happened to Lori. It was heavily implied that she was completely eaten by a zombie, whom Rick found with a belly so full and swollen it couldn't move. But, if so then it had to eat her bones and skull as well as her flesh. There was nothing left but a bloody stain on the floor, from what I remember. The last time we see Lori in the flesh, before that scene, is when she dies during child birth and Carl has to shoot her to make sure she doesn't come back as a zombie. However, I don't think that we saw Carl actually shoot her. We heard him fire the gun, but the camera was on Maggie at the time. I don't think we see Lori's body again, ever. So, it's possible that enough of her survived to become an ambulatory zombie, since everything that happened aside from her actual death from complications of child birth was implied and not actually shown. Still, Lori made cameos throughout season 3, anyway, as Rick's hallucinations. I don't think we've gotten any indication so far that that suddenly went away. So, I think if she shows up again we'll probably see her as Rick's hallucination again. We could see her as a zombie, I guess, but I hope not. I'm actually really sick of Rick's issues and would love for him to stop hallucinating, and whether he stops that or not seeing her as a zombie is probably going to make things worse for him and we'll have more emotionally and mentally unstable Rick for s4. <<; I seriously hope that's not the angle this goes, whether she makes cameos as anything or not. And it isn't that I don't like Rick, I love him. And I don't begrudge him grieving for his wife, especially since she died before they even patched things up between them. But, I think hallucinations and going insane are just a bit too far and I'm ready for that to end and for him to move on. So, hopefully that will happen during s4. Things are bad enough in zombie world without adding insanity. Plus, Michonne mentioned that she may have had a similar issue with her boyfriend's death and she seems to have moved beyond that now so...yeah, hopefully it's something Rick can and will get passed in s4. *crosses fingers* Either way, though, I'm still really looking forward to the next season of The Walking Dead and it's already hard knowing that I still have so long to wait before the premiere! And I know I'm not the only one frothing at the mouth for more despite how long there still is before we'll get it.

Woody Williams?!?
Woody Williams?!?
what a fucking joke
Not that I care about Piazza, but whose dick didnt he suck not to get in the hall
rob dibble just said roberto alomar was the greatest 2nd baseman ever
With our without steroids Clemens and Bonds are two of the greatest baseball players of all time. What a joke these writers turned this into.
Rogers Hornsby was the greatest 2nd baseman ever
I just heard Buster Olney say he has Mussina as first balloter along with the rest of next year's class.
no players elected
da fuck??
ok dibble just made a lot of sense...he said the hall of fame is a museum and should include steroid users as well....its a historical record of the game
I heard this week a lot of ex-players have come out and talked about a player who previously wasn't strongly tied to PED's. And that the voters DON'T want to make the mistake of letting any user in because it opens a can of worms. To me, that sounded like they were talking about piazza.

I wrote a column a week or so ago mourning the death of my iPod.
It wasn't so much the death of my iPod as it was the death of all of the extensive playlists I had on it. Gone, too, is my workout playlist. All nearly 200 songs, poof, gone.
And I'm the kind of person that if I don't have my music, I feel like I can't work out. It's been so bad that it even has to be the right song, the right beat, the right lyrics – yeah, that's how bad my motivation's been.
I dreaded going to the gym without it, but it's actually worked out pretty well. I try to stay in the main gym area, where you can hear the music over the gym's speakers – which is sometimes pretty good music. I'm still running, I've gotten back into circuit (which was always awkward/practically impossible to do with an iPod and headphones) and I found the jump ropes at my gym. So yeah, jumping rope – I think it's working! I haven't stepped on a scale in a while, so I'm not sure. But right before my iPod died, I'd gained about 5 pounds during Thanksgiving, and since going iPod-less at the gym I've lost those 5. So, woo.
If you want to shake up your workout, try going without your workout playlist, or whatever you typically listen to while you're working out. You'll need to change your routine, and that's a good thing.

| The "Counting Money" Technique Works
I've mentioned this technique before which I got here: YouTube - Neville Goddard : Secret of Imagining Money I just wanted to say that this technique WORKS!! I just recieved $500 in the most unexpected way today and I had counted that exact amount of money in my mind 4 days ago. I've used this technique about 5 or 6 times and it has always worked. I like to count 20 dollar bills so what I do is if I have $20 with me, I'll look at it very carefully or if I don't have one with me, I go online and look at an image of a 20 dollar canadian bill and then I go in my bedroom, sit on the edge of my bed, close my eyes and relax and then imagine that the money is in my hands and I'm counting it... $20...$40...$60 etc. up to the amount that I want. Then I hold the stack of invisible money in my hands and I count it again. I do this several times a day for a few days and then stop. Four days ago I only did it twice and it worked so I don't know exactly how many times you should do it but do what feels right to you. Try it, it works for me |

I agree with you snowflake. During the worst of my financial troubles, I starting counting out invisible money onto my dining room table over and over. I would take a $20 or five twenties and count the money over and over up to, say, $1,000, pretending I actually had that many twenties. As my income increased, I would pay the ATM fee to get larger amounts of cash into my hands where I could count it. I still do this sometimes. There's something about this method that resonates with me.

The famous "Just do it" technique. That is an actual, psionic technique for doing telekinesis. Ask any good telekinetic, and they will say "well i just do it". On a different note, I do love Neville Goddards work. The counting money technique is classic goddard. To perform an imaginary action that symbolises that your desire has come to pass. | |

I was intrigued by this technique when I learned it (and I'm a fan of Neville Goddard, but hadn't read this particular technique). I haven't tried it yet, because I've been trying to work out how to count very LARGE quantities of money. The kind of quantities of money that is really too large to count, and which exist only as numbers in a bank account, as an idea or concept. I am, however, inspired by this thread to try this technique for a countable amount of money. One of my mottos (which I say whenever anyone in my family finds money from an unexpected source) is "Yay for free money!" BTW, if anyone has any ideas on how to use this technique for large amounts of money (uncountable amounts), I'd be very pleased to hear it. I haven't thought of anything workable yet. |

Or you can imagine going into your walt and counting the large packages of money as they come from the "printers". It was one of my assignments while working in the Central Bank. I would call them bricks of money and we would only count the bricks - different values for different denominations. Or even pallets. |

I like this method alot since it will give you a real feel for the money when holding it in your hands and if you leave the stacks on your kitchen table all the time, you'll see it day, after day, after day, and the total will become more real. There might be cheaper ways to get stacks of money than the price you have to pay at the link, I only did one search, if you keep looking there might be better websites that sell fake money.

| That's very abstract to me. I have dyscalculia (which is something like dyslexia, but with numbers and some related topics), and to me, a bank account is just this very abstract thing. I mean, I know what the numbers mean, etc., but I can't see money in a bank account, because to me, a bank account isn't even a real "thing" at all. It's just numbers on paper... That's why I asked for other more concrete ideas, because visualising "money" is not something I can easily conceptualise or do. I suspect I'm not the only person who has trouble trying to imagine "money" in ways other than concrete, though, so perhaps someone else (with or without dyscalculia; it's kind of an unusual disorder) might get something from this thread. In the meantime, I've been counting hundred dollar notes out (I find it surprisingly easy to visualise doing this), so I guess I'll see how that works out. |

If you can access your bank account online, you can see how much money you have and then replace that amount in your mind with the amount desired. Some people also do this with bank statements. You could also visualize a check in your hands. I don't really like that method because to me, checks are only worth something when they are either deposited in my account or exchanged for paper money. |

I'm just not able to think of a bank account as anything concrete. To me, it's just numbers on a page. Visualising "different" numbers on a web page is pretty meaningless in my mind, and quite empty. I know what it's SUPPOSED to symbolise, etc, and I can act within the parameters of the account balances, but it just hasn't got the same meaning to me as it might have to other people. | |

Imagining seeing your bank account balances on paper or online is another way to visualize this, but the point of this technique, I thought, is to have something you can physically count out in your mind, imagining you're physically touching it. (And for that matter, smelling it too, because printed money has a smell, so maybe also imagining scent helps.)

Saw this post yesterday and decided to give the technique a shot. After examining a Canadian $20 bill for a couple of minutes, I closed my eyes and pictured counting $100 in bills out physically, the way I used to do it when I worked in a bank ("Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, one hundred"). I did this three or four times, then let it go. Later that night I met my parents and uncle at a restaurant/live music venue for desert and drinks. During our conversation, my dad mentioned that he had some legal documents that needed to be dropped off at federal court on Monday, but that he wouldn't have time to do it. He then asked me if I would mind, and handed me an envelope containing the documents...and a $100 bill ($50 for the filing fee, and $50 pay for the "courier" - me). Not only that, but when we were settling the tab at the end of the evening, I was put in charge of physically counting out everyone's contribution to make sure it all added up- which totalled $100 in 20 dollar bills. So I believe there is definitely something to this counting technique...now to try using it for a larger amount |

In Egypt, many things are paid for in cash, including homes. Almost 5 years ago, I had to go to the bank and take out approx 250000 Egyptian Pounds in 100 pound notes batched up in 10000 Egy Pound wodges (ie 100 bills per pack - not that big to be honest!). I felt like 'Robbadabank' but in reality they didn't even fill up a normal-sized sports holdall. Given each bill is approx the same size as a dollar bill - imagine that as dollars instead, so it isn't that impossible to imagine really. |

| Take a look at my first post in this thread, I posted a link where you can buy fake money, that looks like the real thing. You can actualy hold like, $50,000 or more in your hands this way, using fake money, it will help you visualize the real money.

To richest and Wax frog: Visualization is always fuzzy for me too. When I do the exercise, I focus more on counting the amount and feeling the money in my hands than on the details of the dollar bills. I have a good idea of what they look like but that's about it. |

I've used this technique before, and it's one of the few really powerful techniques that has really worked for me. Quote:
You've just come home and inexplicably found a huge sum of money waiting for you on your table or bed or whatever. It looks like a very large amount and could be exactly how much you want, but how can you be sure? You have to count it one way or another, there's no getting around that. What's your natural inclination in order to start counting it reliably? Now, do that. Personally I would simply count one bundle of it and then count the other number of bundles. | |

Holy frickin' COW! I did this thing last night just for the hell of it, straight after some mindfulnes meditation. This morning my AdSense check arrived in the post. OK, a bit earlier that I was expecting but not too out of the ordinary. So I did another relaxation/mindfulness session this afternoon, and for the hell of it I thuoght I'd do the exercise again. A few hours later, someone I was negotiating a business deal got contacted me. I hadn't heard from the company in a while and assumed "that was that", maybe I played it wrong or something. But now they get back to me with a better offer, plus some other perks I wasn't expecting either. This is really frickin' weird! |

| This made me smile. Intellectualising is a habit I have yet to break. The mind starts going and off it goes. And, yes, you're completely right, it does obstruct the natural process. I need to remember to stay out of the way. Thank you for the reminder. |

The Altus city-wide clean up officially began on Saturday, Feb. 23, as groups of volunteers patrolled the major thoroughfares and community parks for scattered trash, in the snow. The falling snow impaired some visibility of litter on sides of the roads, but, according to the Altus Chamber of Commerce, volunteers were still able to collect approximately 1,800 lbs. of trash that went into a roll off dumpster and sent to the landfill.
Counting over 450 volunteer workers who took part in this first step, the Chamber of Commerce estimates an average of $18,000 savings to the City of Altus.
All volunteers enjoyed Extra Value Meal coupons donated by McDonald's in Altus.
Members from Alley Cats, Altus Air Force Base, Altus Chamber of Commerce, Altus High School National Honor Society, Altus Opinions and Discussions, Boy Scouts Club of Prince of Peace, City of Altus, Department of Corrections, Grace United Methodist Church, Jackson County 4-H Club, Jackson County Health Action Team, Lion's Club, Lodge #62, McDonald's, Men of Faith Breakfast Group, NBC of Oklahoma, and United Methodist Church, Main Street Altus, Altus Rotary, Altus Lions, Altus Kiwanis Club, Western Oklahoma State College, Southwest Technology Center, Altus Realtors, The Altus Times, KEYB and KWHW radio stations, made this community wide effort a success.
The next Clean Up Altus meeting is expected to be held in April, with the event scheduled for May 11. Anyone interested in joining this effort is asked to call the Altus Chamber of Commerce at 580-482-0210 to sign up.

BP will plead guilty to manslaughter charges stemming from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and agreed to pay $4.5 billion in government penalties, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Thursday.
Of the penalties, $4 billion will resolve criminal charges. An additional $525 million will be paid to resolve claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission that BP lied to investors by understating the amount of oil flowing into the Gulf.
Separate from the corporate manslaughter charges, a federal grand jury returned an indictment charging the two highest-ranking BP supervisors on board the Deepwater Horizon on the day of the explosion with 23 criminal counts. The two men were charged with seaman's manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter for each of the 11 men killed in the blast, as well as a criminal violation of the clean water act.
The grand jury also charged BP's second-highest ranking representative at the company's unified command post with hiding information from Congress and allegedly lying to law enforcement officials.
The company also will plead guilty to a felony count of obstruction of Congress, a misdemeanor count under the Clean Water Act and a misdemeanor count under the Migratory Bird Treaty.
Holder said the dollar amount of the penalties and the criminal charges against both the company and individuals are unprecedented.
"I hope that this sends a clear message to those who would engage in this kind of reckless and wanton conduct that there will be a significant penalty to pay," he said.
The settlement is subject to federal judicial review.
"All of us at BP deeply regret the tragic loss of life caused by the Deepwater Horizon accident as well as the impact of the spill on the Gulf coast region," Bob Dudley, chief executive of BP, said in a statement. "From the outset, we stepped up by responding to the spill, paying legitimate claims and funding restoration efforts in the Gulf."
"We apologize for our role in the accident, and as today's resolution with the U.S. government further reflects, we have accepted responsibility for our actions," Dudley added.

College Basketball Betting
The march to March Madness and the Final Four begins with Sports Interaction! From power conferences to Cinderellas, Sports Interaction is king for NCAA Basketball betting. From Midnight Madness onwards we're there for every bounce of the ball right up until the nets get cut down at the NCAA Championship game. Get ready for classic rivalries like North Carolina vs. Duke, Indiana vs. Purdue, Kansas vs. Missouri, Kentucky vs. Louisville, UCLA vs. USC, Villanova vs. St. Joe's and Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State. Will Butler steal the show again or will another mid-major steal the spotlight? Hit the hardwood with NCAA college basketball betting with Sports Interaction!
College Basketball Betting Rules
General betting rules apply to all college basketball betting. In addition, the following rules are specific to betting on NCAA basketball.
- Pointspread and moneyline bets on NCAA basketball have 'action' after 35 minutes of play in college basketball games.
- For over/under bets the game must play to full time for bets to have 'action'.
- Overtime counts in the settlement of all college basketball betting on NCAA basketball games unless otherwise stated.
- All games must start on the scheduled date for bets to have 'action'.
- Winning Margin: Winning margin betting is from scratch (the start of the game).
College Basketball Betting Guide
College basketball betting is one of the most popular choices of betting for Sports Interaction players.
The main action when you bet on NCAA basketball games is in pointspread, or line, betting, where the sportsbook decides on a margin of victory for the favorite that will make either team an attractive betting proposition. Consider the example below:
Duke Blue Devils | +15.0 | -110 |
North Carolina Tarheels | -15.0 | -110 |
In the example, the college basketball betting spread is set at fifteen points. The +15.0 after the Duke Blue Devils means that the Blue Devils are the underdog in this game; the Blue Devils must either win, or lose by less than fifteen points, for a bet on the Blue Devils to win.
The �15.0 after the North Carolina Tar Heels means that the Tar Heels are the favorite; the Tar Heels must win by more than fifteen points for a bet on the Tar Heels to win.
If the Tar Heels win by exactly fifteen points, then the bet is said to have fallen on the spread and is deemed a push. All bets are voided and the stakes returned in this instance.
The second number, -110, after each team is the price of a winning bet on NCAA basketball. A winning bettor will win $100 for every $110 bet.
For an NCAA college basketball game to have action, the game must be played for at least 35 minutes actual play. Overtime counts if played, and there are a selection of related betting markets to add extra value, choice and excitement, such as totals, moneyline, winning margin NBA betting, and the like. For more information on how to bet on NBA basketball, please visit our Help Center from the navigation above!

body slim fit non-iron solid sport shirt
excellent flattering slim fit shirt to show off a tight bod...
this shirt is great for alot of reasons. first, wonderful fit -- if you've got a lean and lithe to athletic build (but not a crazy muscle build), this gives you a very nice and striking silhouette. it *shows* people you have a good bod. second, it's nice that the material has a bit of stretch / lycra to it, that makes it much more comfy as you move around and do your every day thing. you don't want a shirt that is so trim, it is constricting and uncomfy! third, it is (relatively) no iron. so it generally keeps it shape and appearance and you still look nice and sharp after a days wear. these are very good shirt, i just bought 3 because especially when there's a site-wide sale here (there always is for any major holiday), they are a steal. my one criticism is, you have to be quite careful how you wash these. do it on a gentle cycle, don't put it in the dryer even though it says you can do it on ie low heat. just line dry it or something. first, that keeps it less wrinkled. (even tho it says no-iron, that's not really true. you have to lightly go over it for it to look crisp and good again, but it is certainly less ironing that you'd have to do on a 100% cotton shirt). the other reason to avoid the dryer is, when my first shirt of these went it, it came out and the collar had puckered -- there were all these dimples and bumps and ridges. same was true of the cuffs. there was no way to iron / press these out. my little knowledge of fabrics is that the material is fused to some type of lining for shape, and these layers are connected by fabric adhesive / glue. that glue bubbles up or comes undone if it gets too hot, and hence the material puckers as it separates. there might be another reason for the material crimpling (and not being able to be fixed!), but based on my fashion experience, that's what causes it. (i btw returned the messed up shirt to the ck store - they exchanged it no questions asked). i just wash these very gentle and hang dry, touch up with a light iron, and that's definitely a better way to handle 'em! anyway a very good shirt. makes you look good if you have the bod for it!
December 2, 2012
Very nice shirt
I love this shirt - it is extra slim fit, nicely made and is offered in many colors! No complaints whatsoever!

Best Dress Shirt I Have Yet to Encounter
This shirt is the best fit I for a natural athletic build that I have found. The quality of the fabric, the design, and the proportions are excellent. I have rarely found a shirt that when fitting my moderately broad shoulders is not too wide for my normal 34 waist, since many button-down shirts are made to accommodate a larger male waist or straight torso. The width of the sleeve is also the appropriate width, unlike the bulk found in many dress shirts. Additionally, being non-iron, it has not wrinkled. I have bought six of these shirts (Three white for the office, one black, one midnight blue, and one mineral/lavender), and anticipate buying more if CK were to manufacture some with much less vibrant color; softer, more subtle, dilute tones. The colors are, however, more intense than those portrayed on your monitor.

Nice shirt..
fit, material, quality, and color on this line of CK shirts are great.... It's rare for a day to go by when I'm not complimented when wearing one of my body fit ck shirts. the cut of the body fit style is done perfectly.... I think I have every color at this point

This demo was setup on February 23rd in less than 30 minutes. I set WP Zon Builder to "drip" the content to the site over a period of two months, which means more hammers should show up every day for the next two months.
If this were a real site, I would do some minor promotion/link building and after a month or two I would see how the site is ranking and what sort of traffic it is getting. If it appeared to be worthwhile (i.e. profitable without an unreasonable amount of effort on SEO, etc.), I would then add a lot more products, split test to optimize conversion rates, go for top rankings on the most promising longtail keywords, etc.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Sunday met with Shiites in Quetta who are protesting the bombing deaths of 97 people last week, Pakistani media reported.
Ashraf addressed protestors who are taking part in a sit-in and have lined up the bodies of bombing victims at major intersections. He said he would meet one of the two major demands of the group, tossing out the provincial government and putting a governor in charge.
However, Ashraf said he wouldn't implement military rule in the city but would leave it up to the governor to ask for more help -- if needed -- from paramilitary forces to try to quell the violence.
It was unclear when the sit-in would end, as leaders of the protest said they will take a wait-and-see approach to the change in government.
Local Shiites have also refused to bury most of the victims after a series of bombings rocked Quetta on Thursday, police official Wazir Khan Nasir said.
Relatives of the deceased have sat beside the bodies in freezing temperatures over the past three days. Symbolic protests occurred in other cities, including Islamabad.
Earlier, Ashraf also condemned the blasts in Quetta.
"The prime minister, while expressing his heartfelt condolences and sympathies with the bereaved families, reiterated the government's resolve to stamp out the menace of militancy and terrorism from the country in its all shapes and manifestations," said a statement from his office.
Not burying dead bodies immediately after death is taboo in Islam. The soul of the body is not considered to be at rest until the body is in the ground.
Quetta is the capital of Balochistan province, an area regularly plagued by violence. In addition to sectarian attacks on Shiites, unrest in the province is believed to be fomented by several insurgent groups, including the separatist Balochistan Liberation Army and the Pakistani Taliban.

This wheel of cheese was all hoped it would be. The cheese I have tried to date are wonderful. These are great for snacks as well as parties. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

We sent two of these as gifts but when we saw the portion sizes we were ashamed of our choice. The quality was excellent but we will choose different portions next year when we order.

I was so disappointed when I opened the huge box and found the "itty bitty" items inside. Each sausage stick was only 1.5oz and about the diameter of a nickel, not even big enough to go on a cracker. The cheese bars were 3 & 1/2 inches long. If someone took a bite out of one they would eat half the bar. The cheese spread cups were 2" long and about the depth of a butter pat. Not going to go far at a party. I originally bought this for an after the holidays party, but will not take it as I would be too embarrassed to give it. This has really given new meaning to the term "bite size". I am not a happy customer.
