I'm a huge "Seinfeld" fan. There's a splendid, underrated bit where Jerry successfully gets out of a dinner with George and the droning J. Peterman. While George sits miserably at the dinner table, enduring Peterman's tiresome storytelling, Jerry is at home, eating popcorn and watching football. Jerry pumps his fist and smiles as the game announcer says, "It's fourth-and-inches, and the Giants are going for it. You gotta love sports!"
Which brings us to the Buffalo Bills. It feels like the long-suffering franchise has been stuck at fourth-and-forever ... but, for the love of sports, this team is going for it! And I'm wholeheartedly fist-pumping in approval.
The Bills are dangerously close to finally breaking through and ending a dreadful, defining, unfathomable 14-season playoff drought -- the NFL's longest active streak. They aren't waiting until next year. They want to win now.
Last week, in a wide-ranging, 20-minute interview with Doug Marrone on my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports," the Bills' second-year head coach put his intelligence on full display. And he certainly hammered home the desire to end this wretched run of postseason non-participation.
"It hurts. It hurts everyone, physically. I mean, it hurts the fans, the region," Marrone said. "The expectation going (into this coming season) is, you know, we're going to make the playoffs. That's what our expectations are, and we're going to do everything we possibly can to get there, knowing that it's going to be extremely hard, as far as the work -- that's what we're explaining to our players. So that's the league we're in, and we have to win football games -- there's no doubt about it. We have to do it and do it the right way."
In last month's NFL draft, the right way was the aggressive way.
Buffalo, which entered the draft with the No. 9 overall pick, seriously coveted Sammy Watkins. In fact, director of player personnel Jim Monos revealed that the Bills tried to get all the way up to No. 1 to secure the Clemson wide receiver's services, but the Houston Texans wouldn't budge. When Watkins remained available at No. 4, Buffalo general manager Doug Whaley pounced in cat-like fashion. The Bills packaged their No. 9 pick with first- and fourth-round selections in 2015 to move into the Cleveland Browns' slot and snag the top-rated offensive player on their board.
Marrone and CEO Russ Brandon were right in sync with Whaley. The war room was abuzz. Watkins has Calvin Johnson/A.J. Green potential and a similarly great attitude. He's the jolt Buffalo's talented offense needed, and will be a welcome addition for the team's young signal-caller.
Last year, Marrone hitched his wagon to EJ Manuel, drafting the Florida State quarterback with the 16th overall pick -- a selection that took many by surprise. Manuel showed flashes during his debut season, but the campaign was plagued by injuries and inconsistent play. In our conversation last week, Marrone expressed that he likes what he's seen from Manuel this offseason. The 24-year-old is healthy and displaying impressive playbook knowledge, work ethic and leadership. Marrone says the game "has slowed down" for the second-year pro. Still, the coach remains very candid when it comes to his quarterback, stressing that Manuel must carry these positives over to the field this fall. Seems pretty doable, considering the surrounding cast.
Buffalo has fantastic talent and depth at running back, headlined by the 1-2 punch of C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson. At wide receiver, the Bills acquired Watkins in the draft and Mike Williams via trade. Stevie Johnson's gone -- he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers one day after Watkins was picked -- but Robert Woods is ticketed for a big sophomore campaign. Lastly, Marrone believes the offensive line, which gave up too many sacks in 2013 (48, to be exact), is better.
And I haven't even mentioned the defense.
Despite losing Jairus Byrd in free agency, this unit is loaded. Kiko Alonso was a revelation in Year 1, finishing second in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting. The defensive line is elite; Mario Williams reestablished himself as a dominant force last season. And although he's had some health issues, Stephon Gilmore has great promise as a young cornerback. Bottom line: Buffalo has a really strong, difference-making defense.
It's Year 2 of Marrone's reign in Buffalo, so everyone in the locker room knows what to expect.
"We are a better team right now than we were last year at this time. We have to be able to convert that into wins," Marrone said. "There's no doubt about it that we're more athletic, we're bigger, stronger faster. The system is under our belt, we're moving around quickly, we're making plays."
Of course, the offseason hasn't been entirely favorable. Marrone has had to deal with multiple arrests for the supremely talented Marcell Dareus. A couple of weeks back, Dareus was charged with reckless driving after an alleged drag race with teammate Jerry Hughes. Earlier in May, Dareus was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
I asked Marrone if Dareus "gets it." Marrone paused before saying, "That's a good question. That's a good question, whether he gets it or not. You say all the right things, but then your actions are going to speak louder than your words. We all understand that obviously, and we're aware, he's made some poor decisions lately. I'm working with him. He's dealing with stuff, too."
Marrone went on to say how he needs to help his players "become better men," while simultaneously striving to reach on-field goals. It's a difficult job, but one the caring and committed Marrone is handling with aplomb. I think Marrone is the right coach to turn the Bills around. He turned around my alma mater, Syracuse. Prior to that, he was a highly respected NFL assistant with the Saints and Jets. I also think Whaley is the right general manager.
Yes, I'm really rooting for these Bills. Aren't you?
Legendary owner Ralph Wilson passed away in March. The team is up for sale. Franchise icon Jim Kelly is fighting cancer. Marrone had a cancerous mole removed earlier this year. There's a lot of real emotion here, and so many people to root for.
Marrone addressed all of the above in our conversation. The sale isn't the elephant in the room -- it's been discussed. There's confidence the team will rightly stay in Buffalo.
Does the fact that there's new ownership on the horizon increase the pressure? Perhaps. But I think this Marrone-Whaley tandem is more than up for the challenge, ready to punch 14 years of painful history in the face.
The 2014 Bills are going for it. And I think they will get there.
You gotta love sports.

What is causing the rise in ADHD, ADD, and all other psychological imbalances in the youth?
It is not news that more and more of children and teens are being diagnosed with the condition called Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The prevalence is rising in a dramatic rate, but what else is rising at the same rate? The answer is Sugar intake. Is there a correlation?
I have seen patients with this condition ADHD, and ironically, there is almost always a correlation to these children also having a food allergy, or multiple food allergies. But why, what is the connection between hyperactivity and food allergies?
First, it is important to understand that if you have been in contact with an ADHD child, and they had no food allergies, unfortunately, most food allergies go undiagnosed. The medical profession does not seek this connection. Typically, food allergies are diagnosed prior to the diagnosis of ADHD, but at soon as ADHD is found, no course of action is taken for analyzing the digestive tract. So, this leads me to the true root of the problem in any accurately diagnosed hyperactive child.
I say "accurately diagnosed" because there are some alarming incentives for diagnosing these conditions. For example, did you know that school systems get a $400 incentive a year for each student that is diagnosed? Most schools have developed an interactive online learning style. Does this take into account the three different styles of learners? Audio and Kinetic learners do not benefit from this teaching style, only visual. It is impossible to keep a child's attention if you are not interacting to them in a manner that suits their personality type. But this is not a paper discussing the proper diagnosis of ADHD, this blog set to address the cause of true ADHD, ADD, etc.
I often blog about the importance of the digestive system and its role in health in the body. To say the digestive system has just a role in health is almost misleading, it is the most important function in the body. Proper digestion allows the body to uptake every vital nutrient that gives the body its life force. I get it, you are wondering what food allergies and ADHD have to do with the health of the digestive system, and also, how does sugar affect any of it?
Let's start from the beginning. Can you tell me what foods these labels belong to?
So, as you can see, the primary source of calories in the infant formula is derived from sugar substances. What sugar does to the digestive system is unparalleled in a negative way. Sugar is linked to decreasing the acid levels in the stomach and decreases the stomach's ability to properly denature and break down the food that is consumed. Have you noticed that the amount of cases of chronic spit ups, or acid reflux in infants?
When the food enters the stomach and the pH is in an alkaline state, the food doesn't get properly digested, and the small intestine does not like foods that are undigested. There are only two ways for food to leave the stomach, down the tract into the small intestine, or up through the esophagus. So, to be redundant, when we eat foods that are loaded with sugar, they cannot be properly digested due to low acid levels, and then the food either enters the small intestine undigested, or it is spit back up like in acid reflux. Unfortunately, the common medical model treatment plan for acid reflux is prescription Zantac, or other antacid medications. These medications just further lower the acid levels in the stomach, furthering the digestive problems. Back to the point, we are going to discuss what happens when food enters the small intestine undigested.
Here is a brief explanation of food allergies
Some foods (milk, gluten, eggs, etc.) that require a very acidic stomach to digest also require specific digestive enzymes to further their proper denaturing and assimilation into the blood stream. If these two factors are not in place, or the digestive health of a person is not adequate those foods can be assimilated, or taken into the blood stream undigested. When an undigested food enters the blood stream, the body sees this as a foreign object, and the natural process is for the blood system to build antibodies against these particles, and this is the start of food allergies.
Ok, back to the point
Sugar is one of the primary causes of food allergies due to its ability to lower the stomach's acid levels, but it also has one other problem. It changes the normal flora in the large intestine. Normal flora is the bacteria that must be in the large intestine to finish the digestion of foods, and also programs the body's immune system. There are many forms of "bad" opportunistic bacteria that can combat the good bacteria and the main source of fuel or food for these "bad" bacteria is sugar. When these "bad" bacteria start to win the battle with the normal flora, and become more prevalent in the large intestine, they can program your cravings. Any organism is trained to crave the fuel that makes them stronger, and the "bad" bacteria are trained to create a craving for sugar. Again, to recap. Sugar is the cause of proliferation of "bad" bacteria in the large intestine, and the "bad" bacteria also create a craving for sugar.
In Short, We start each child off with an infant formula that the main ingredient is sugar, starting this cascade of events.
Back to ADHD, ADD, and other psychological imbalances
Have you ever seen a child on Mountain Dew or red bull?
Sugar is the cause of hyperactivity, sugar is the cause of lack of attention, and sugar is the cause of most digestive tract conditions. But soft drinks are not the only place to find high levels of sugar. Look at the main ingredient in most of the processed foods you are eating, ketchup, salad dressing, and even bread/pasta.
The plan.
Restoring the most important function of the human body is the primary plan. This starts with utilizing enzymes that will restore the acid levels in the stomach, boosting the normal flora levels in the large intestine, and minimizing sugar intake.
The New-Start Solution is a specific diet that is designed to do just that.
You can follow down two pathways, the medical model for ADHD with consists of nervous system inhibiting medications that have no future of treating the cause of the hyperactivity, or you can start with the restoration of the body's ability to digest the natural substances that relaxes the nervous system, allowing the body to rest.

How Playing Sport And Exercising Contribute To A Happy Mood
Some may choose to argue differently, but we'd like to suggest the idea that your enjoyment of this physical world is all about perspective. It is the perspective that you choose to view your experiences that decides how your experiences show up, and whether you enjoy the journey.
Very often human beings can get caught up in the day to day existence of the obligations and requirements that they choose to create for themselves. This can cause us to stop enjoying the journey along the way, but getting active can help to ease the tension and maintain a happy perspective for ourselves. The ripple effects of this practice can change our whole life and the way that we live and love.
It's Science Baby!
As you are likely already aware, the human body is a delicate balance of chemical reactions and responses to the stimuli that we present to it. If you haven't heard already, playing a sport or exercising releases the 'feel good' hormones into the body, which contribute to making us feel good. The chemical Dopamine that makes us feel good when we are laughing or hugging is released into the blood stream while we are exercising, contributing to feelings of pleasure and happiness. At Salisbury Super Sports we notice that at the end of the game, people leave with a satisfied look on their faces.
Work Out the Stress
When we talk about the chemical responses that occur in the body, we may be aware that stress is one of the most damaging things for the body and mind. When we are stressed our body goes into flight or fight mode releasing chemicals such as adrenaline into the blood stream, the same as if we are fearful about something. This causes the body to work harder to clear away the surplus of these chemicals and makes the liver and kidneys work a lot harder. Exercising is another way that the body can work out these stressful emotions, preventing disease from setting into the physical body, so we get more out of life.
Sleep Easier
If you are having trouble sleeping, doing regular exercise or playing a sport is a painless way of overcoming the issue without needing to resort to pharmaceutical assistance. When you think in terms of how our bodies are made, let us think back to the way that we used to live. Traditionally, human bodies are designed for hunting and gathering, but most of us spend a lot of time in small work spaces or sitting at desks, so our bodies create a lot of physical energy that goes unused. If this energy is not expended in a constructive way it can stagnate and cause problems for the functions of the body.

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (Criterion)
A masterpiece finally gets the treatment it deserves, not just with a splendid transfer but several documentaries, the longest of which reveals much about the making of the film.
THE DAMNED (aka THESE ARE THE DAMNED, included in THE ICONS OF SUSPENSE COLLECTION: HAMMER FILMS, Sony)
THE DAMNED (aka THESE ARE THE DAMNED, included in THE ICONS OF SUSPENSE COLLECTION: HAMMER FILMS, Sony)
One of Joseph Losey's lost films, in the correct ratio at last and the most complete version. His BLIND DATE also saw a British DVD release. Now where's his M?
THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS (Kino US, Eureka UK)
THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS (Kino US, Eureka UK)
The version we thought was lost forever, almost completely restored, demonstrates that the film is a genuine melodrama, conceived partly in musical terms.
THRILLER - THE COMPLETE SERIES (Image)
THRILLER - THE COMPLETE SERIES (Image)
A feast, and it's fascinating to watch the series develop, just as it is to trace (say) how the EC comics became what they're remembered for.
3 SILENT CLASSICS BY JOSEF VON STERNBERG (Criterion)
3 SILENT CLASSICS BY JOSEF VON STERNBERG (Criterion)
This box set rescues three important films. Many Sternberg qualities are already much in evidence, and does any silent film have an ending more understated than THE DOCKS OF NEW YORK?
THE ITALIAN STRAW HAT (Flicker Alley)
THE ITALIAN STRAW HAT (Flicker Alley)
An exemplary transfer that allows us to relish all Rene Clair's wit, which is as fresh as ever.
LUBITSCH IN BERLIN (Eureka UK)
LUBITSCH IN BERLIN (Eureka UK)
Six of his silent films, and many revelations, not least the wonderful Ossi Oswalda, a great comedienne at last salvaged from oblivion.
STAGECOACH (Criterion)
STAGECOACH (Criterion)
Chosen not just for improving on previous transfers but for the extras, which include one of Ford's silent Westerns, BUCKING BROADWAY, and the complete unedited footage of Ford's famously irascible confrontation with Philip Jenkinson. The booklet reprints the tale on which STAGECOACH was based.
MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW (Criterion US, Eureka UK)
MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW (Criterion US, Eureka UK)
Leo McCarey's devastating comedy of embarrassment that shades inexorably into tragedy. Arguably his greatest film. I listed the French release back in 2008, but this version doesn't have irremovable French subtitles and is a sharper transfer. Eureka have it on Blu-Ray.

Brown served in the Missouri Legislature (1852-1858) and furthered his political career as editor of the Missouri Democrat (1854-1859).
After the election of 1856 Brown's opposition to the expansion of slavery into American territories and to sectionalism, nullification, and secessionism led him to break with the proslavery Democrats and become one of the founders of the Missouri...

My home is my sanctuary. It's a cozy, inviting place where my family and I can relax, snuggle up by the fire, and feel safe and warm. It's my sacred space where I'm able to re-connect with what really matters to me, and where I recharge my batteries after a long and stressful day.
Like most working moms, I deal with the stress of too many responsibilities and too little time. And I work in a company full of nasty people who seem to relish in nasty workplace politics. It's enough sometimes to make me want to scream, but then I come home at the end of the day and the negativity melts away.
It's not always easy keeping things tranquil on the home front, and I'm not always successful at it. But the benefits it provides my family and me make it worth the effort. I think there are lots of people who would feel less stress in their lives if they had a more calm, cozy, and inviting home, so I'd like to share what works for me. Sit back, relax by the fire, and make yourself at home.

It should piss off every American to see how Obama and Biden use our money to enrich their buddies.
All this money NEEDS to stay here in the U.S. to build business and create jobs for Americans.
Biden's 'good friend,' donor receives $20M federal loan | The Daily Caller: "n late July, John Hynansky — a longtime friend of Vice President Joe Biden, and a major donor to Biden's campaigns as well as President Barack Obama's — was awarded a $20 million taxpayer loan to build a foreign-car dealership in Ukraine.

heads of two Irish chieftains, Reginald de Craunford, and Thomas Bruce, knights ; and he presented Alexander Bruce, a pretended king of the Germans, wounded and half dead, to the king ; of whom Thomas was drawn at the tail of-a horse, and hanged and beheaded, and the others were simply brought back to Carlisle, and hanged and beheaded. And a testimony of this is, their heads which are fixed up above the castle, and over the gates of the city.
After Easter, Robert Bruce, having reinforced his army, fought with Aymer de Valence, and put him to flight, only a few of those who were with him being slain. And within three days, pursuing him, he routed the earl of Gloucester, many men being slain on both sides, and besieged him in the castle of Ayr, till the siege was raised by an army which was sent thither by the king. After that, he fled from the English, who pursued him, and took refuge in the marshy and thickly wooded placée, where, after he found a hiding place, they could not discover him. The king having sent messengers into England, ordered, under heavy penalties, that all those who owed him service, should be ready at Carlisle within three weeks after the feast of Saint John the Baptist ; and he sent his son back into England to proceed to contract hie marriage with the daughter of the king of France, according to what he should hear from that sovereign. But after his departure, the king began to be afflicted with a dysentery. Nevertheless, he moved from Carlisle, on the third of July, marching a few days' journey towards Scotland ; but on the sixth of July, he arrived at Burgh on the Sands, where, his illness increasing, the day after, being the sixth day of the week, he bade farewell to this present life, ending his days in piety, and his years in glory. He reigned thirty-four years, seven months, and twenty-one days, and had completed sixtyeight years and twenty days of his age.
This Edward was a man of great vigour as a warrior throughout his whole life in every situation ; so much so, that he wrested all England out of the hand of Simon de Montfort, and the earls and barons who adhered to the said Simon ; who had also detained his father king Henry, and himself in prison, as is related above in these Chronicles. He also wrested all Wales from the hands of prince Llewellyn, and David, his brother ; and Aquitaine from the hands of the king of France.

Sitting beside "raju paanwala's ssop" , Ram Bilas says to Gajothar " see there goej your bhabhi". " Gibhen the phact that Ram Bilas is a "gymwala" , no one ssud look at the girl becauz he will be beaten to pulp.
The poor girl doej not ebhen know tyat there ij a boy named Ram Bilas.
This story goej phaar beyond that in the topic. I am sure you must habe experienced it sometime or other.
Returning to write this story in normal form,< above lines inspired from cheesy Tamil dubbed movies > , people from everywhere are witness to this happening. The case with girls is not like the above mentioned story. If there is a guy in her class, she looks across to him with puppy eyes , may be once or twice and the boy is on that vicious circle of so called love. This may be result of 2 factors. Either the boy is one of the ahem " He goat type" or the boy really falls for those puppy eyes(rare syndrome but possible)
But the case with ' lop at first sight' and no sight after that has highest probability, I would like to say 99/100 times. The famous (birdwatching or hunting) is a national time pass for the chiya pasal boys who look at the girls passing by and label them with two names : Tero bhauju ki mero bhauju. Its easy to say but its real challenge for him to find out details about her.(if he dares and she cares) .Once in blue moon he might even find that, but he multiplies the fact and says " she talked to me yar" ," aja date ma gayera ako ma", "
But as I said, most of other times, I would like to say a Chinese alu ghadi will be more durable than that so called love. Do that in Bollywood or our own Nepali movie and you are screwed. Generally hero and heroin strike at college, heroin's book falls down and eyes of both meet when both try to get that book. After 15 minutes and a song , heroin and heros are (janam janam ko sathi) and a maran-chyase hero is able to fight 10 mustandas alone for her . But one must keep in mind a serious statement
(yesh katha ka sapai patra kalpanik hun ra bastavik jiwan sanga mel khaye ma samyog matra hunecha).
One sided love stories are more fun to friends than you. The wicked smile whenever she passes by, the continous hit of dialog" uuh tero budi" when she is near .!, , also We all have that one single friend who gives lectures about relations to you and you listen to that poor fellow . you might even scribble her name on class benches , public toilets or back side of mandirs ; something like " Bittu loves Munni ".
The best part of one sided love story is its FLEXIBILITY. There is no complications what so ever. If one story is failed then , shed a tear, share a beer, " oh ! dear" and move on to your next target. One sided love stories , add spice to our lives. Whether it be girls swooning over the morbid, dull and lifeless(literally) , Edward Sullen, Cullen or other vampire /wolves or the guys drooling over the lively ,cute and oomphy Megan FOX. Come to think of it , they will never have a eye contact!
AND, they give us a topic that can last for at least 3 days which starts with " Dude, I saw an awesuummm girl today"…. And ends with friend saying" leave it yar, she wasn't meant for you…………… OAAAIII KTA HOO!!!! uhh tya herta "

(Reuters) - Raiders safety Charles Woodson will bring the curtain down on his spectacular 18-year career in the NFL at the end of the season, the 39-year-old said on Monday.
Woodson, one of the best defenders ever to play the game, won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010/11 season and was named to the Pro Bowl eight times.
The 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year spent the first eight years of his career with the Raiders before moving to Green Bay. He returned to the Raiders in 2013.
"Was it a tough decision? Kind of, but a couple of weeks ago it hit me that this would be it," Woodson told reporters. "It was important for me to let Raider Nation know now." Woodson entered the NFL as a cornerback before converting to safety in the later stages of his career. He was awarded the Heisman Trophy as the top college player while at Michigan in 1997.
Woodson is tied for the most career defensive touchdowns with 13 and is sixth on the all-time interceptions list with 65.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie paid tribute to Woodson by calling him the "Greatest of All Time".
"Charles Woodson is one of those players that comes along and reminds you why you love the game," said McKenzie.
"It has been an honor to have worked alongside Charles for so many years and have the confidence to call him what he truly is: the G.O.A.T"

The European Technology and Travel Services Association (ETTSA) was launched in 2009 to represent and promote the interests of travel distributors and Global Distribution Systems (GDS) towards industry, policy-makers, opinion formers, consumers' groups and all other relevant European stakeholders. The association, based in Brussels, encourages and supports fair competition and consumer choice in the travel distribution chain.
ETTSA represents Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and travel companies, including on and off-line travel agents, independent travel distributors and companies that develop technology to promote and enhance travel services.
ETTSA's members include; Amadeus, ebookers, Expedia, Odigeo (and its brands eDreams, GoVoyages, Opodo and Travelink), Sabre, Travelport. Associate members include; SkyScanner and TripAdvisor. ATPCO and OAG are Supporting Partners of ETTSA.
Travel distributors and GDS provide consumers with a spectrum of easy to access travel options. By championing full transparency they enable consumers to make informed choices and ensure a competitive and healthy travel market.
ETTSA promotes fair competition and consumer choice in the travel distribution chain. ETTSA's primary objective is to develop awareness of the benefits of travel companies and global distribution systems. ETTSA also seeks to highlight the emergence of practices that threaten access, transparency, choice and competition in the travel distribution chain.
Currently the focus of ETTSA's activities includes the following priorities:
ETTSA ensures that the role of travel distributors and technology providers is properly understood by consumers, policymakers and other members of the travel value chain. ETTSA organises regular meetings and exchanges with key stakeholders, including, government officials, consumer groups, travel operators and the media and actively advocates industry positions in legislative and regulatory settings.
Global Distribution Systems (GDS) provide customers with instantaneous information about the availability of travel services and the fares associated with these services. They permit travel agents (whether online or brick and mortar) to make immediate confirmed reservations on behalf of the consumer. The terms Computerised Reservation System (CRS) and Global Distribution System are used interchangeably but refer to the same technology.
The customers of ETTSA members include, travel companies, airlines, hotels, car rental companies and the end consumer.
In 2007, the estimated size of the European online travel market was 50 billion which represented almost 20% of the total European travel market. Of this amount, 35% (i.e. 17.5 billion) was generated by intermediaries (mainly online travel agencies) and 65% were direct sales by the travel providers. By product, most of the online sales correspond to air travel (57%), followed by hotel and accommodation (17%), tour packages (14.5%) rail (7.5%) and the remaining 4% corresponding to other products (mainly rent a car). By Country, the UK accounted for 30% of the European online travel market in 2007, with Germany in second place at 19%.

After a brutal week for stocks, some of the professionals say it's time to go bargain-hunting.
Doug MacKay of Broadleaf Partners is one of them.
"Technology is due for some multiple expansion...and now is the time to start tiptoeing into the consumer discretionary sector," he told CNBC. "We've started to take a little bit more of a look at the financials...but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger."
He's not ready to go with the homebuilders, so what's on his list?
"The retailers, the Harley Davidsons , the Nordstroms, they've pulled back," he said. "We're at a fulcrum in the markets...I think the consumer discretionary stocks will be some of the first to rally significantly off their lows."

Innocence In The Wind was inspired by the trials Ramsey experienced after being raped as a child on 3 different occasions. She was also in an abusive relationship at a young age. Giving honor to God for bringing her through, she wrote the book as a testimony to share with others who may be going through the same things. She wrote for the women who wanted to get out of those situations but didn't know how. After the completion of a 24-hour fast, Ramsey did a read-through of her book and noticed a part about God ordaining her destiny and ordering her steps. From that, the title came about. Based on real events taken place in her own life,
Ramsey calls on her readers to grasp from reading that God is the head of their lives. "Every test we go through in life is a testimony; through all of our mess, there comes a message. We have to learn how to forgive in order to be heal – heal from our bondage, heal from the hell that we've stumbled across in our lived. If it did not kill you, that means you have another chance to try again. The God we serve is a God of chances." She recalls feelings of sadness while penning her book, as she had to relive the painful moments from the events she writes about. But she acknowledges that feeling those feelings gave her the strength and courage to finish the writing process.

Do you burn the candle at both ends?
If so, you're likely to get overtired. That's because it means to get up early and stay up late.
You might be doing that during the busy pre-Christmas period. What have you bought? Candles maybe.

Open Day at the Broughton Water Buffalo Farm
If there are any marriages made in heaven it has to be Romsey Gold with Water Buffalo Burgers. Broughton Water Buffalo opened their gates on a stormy looking Saturday – the 9th July. The rain held off most of the time and if anything, added to the atmosphere of this tremendous farm which uses sustainable farming methods across its many acres.
BBQ, Ale and Live Music
The Open Day was an opportunity to walk around the farm and if it wasn't for the English weather, you could imagine yourself in South East Asia. Luscious pastures simply extend for miles with hundreds of water buffalo loving the natural environment. A buffalo burger BBQ and Flack's ales were the perfect refreshment and live music went on into the evening.
If you missed the event, then learn more at www.broughtonwaterbuffalo.co.uk and keep an eye on our events page as we team with and support many other local businesses that hold similar values to our own. In this case, it is perfect quality meat, produced humanely and in conditions that replicate a buffalo's natural environment. This is no small task and the farm really has to be seen to be believed. Broughton Water Buffalo burgers are sold at local farmer's markets, in addition to their own farm shop.

Hats off to you for being open about how your pregnancy came about! I think it's so wonderful when people are able to raise awareness through their experiences. I've always wondered if/when I get pregnant if I'll be brave enough to do the same.ReplyDelete

Dearfoams date back to the mid-1900's with the invention of their original foam cushioned slippers. Today, they are still providing the most comfortable slippers and sleepwear on the Market. Their offerings include slippers for Men and Women, sleepwear including gowns and robes and they also have accessories sure to keep you warm including scarves, hats and gloves. Dearfoams can be found in leading department stores across North America (also in select international Markets) and on Dearfoams.com. I truly love the convenience of shopping online and the Dearfoams website is simple to navigate making it easy to find the perfect slipper. I love sparkle and bling, so when I spotted the Sequin Velour Clog Slipper it was love at first sight.
Stay Connected by following them on these social media sites:
I've seen Dearfoams slippers in my local department store and even purchased them for relatives as Christmas gifts before, but I have never owned a pair myself. I heard how comfortable they were from those I have given them to and I couldn't wait to try mine out. I was amazed at the quick shipping time. Only a few days passed from the time I selected them until the moment they arrived. This was my authentic reaction to their arrival... (I am copying this directly from an email that I sent to some of my girlfriends).
"My Dearfoams arrived 5 minutes ago - they've been on my feet for 4 1/2 minutes and I'm NEVER taking them off!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!! I'm in love!"
I have to admit, I did take them off...but only to shower and sleep. I have literally worn them everywhere in place of my regular shoes. I can do this because the soles are very durable and have extraordinary tread for a slipper. I have received the most compliments out in public and each time I have to giggle to myself a little because only I know they are actually slippers.
I can't stop gushing over these slippers. I mean, they are just absolutely gorgeous! I am in love with all the sparkling sequins and the long pile faux fur collar. Most importantly, they are beyond comfortable and absolutely made for my feet. They have Dearfoams own perfect foam cushioning plus heel wedge for extra comfort. These are an absolute treat as they are truly an ultra luxurious experience for your feet. Make that an affordable ultra luxurious experience. I'm not gonna lie, I may never purchase a pair of shoes again. I am hooked on Dearfoams slippers.
Only the best products make my Christmas Gift Guide and I am happy to feature Dearfoams and give my full recommendation. They are the perfect gift for any member of the family, your friends, co-workers and FOR YOU! Treat yourself, you deserve it! But, be warned... once you've worn a pair of Dearfoams, you will only want to wear them from here on out. You can find these and all the other incredibly comfortable slippers available at Dearfoams.

I received the above products through Sublime Media Connection in exchange for an honest review. In no way was I asked to give a positive review.

#auto window repair
Auto Window Repairs
Auto Window Repairs
The need for auto window repairs can come at the most inconvenient time. What a sickening feeling to walk out to your car to go home from shopping or go to work and find that you have been the victim of a smash and grab ! Besides any personal belongings that have been lost, you now have to deal with fixing or replacing a broken car window. If you have insurance that pays for auto window replacement, great, but what if you don t? You are left to fix or replace it on your own.
Most people are capable of doing an auto window replacement, but don t even think about doing it themselves. In most cases, it only requires a few inexpensive tools and doesn t take any special skills or secret knowledge. With a little common sense, a few hand tools, some patience, and information resources you can find on this website, almost anyone can do their own auto window repairs or replacement. It just takes a little time and effort, but of course it is always easier to take it to a professional.
There are basically two types of windows on a car: fixed glass and moving glass.
Fixed glass sometimes comes with its own frame (usually in a side window), and it is just a matter of figuring out how to remove the frame from the car and then replacing the whole unit. You may or may not need to replace the seal around this type of glass, it depends on the design and the condition of the seal.
Other fixed glass such as a back window or windshield will usually not have a frame of its own and will be attached to the vehicle with a special adhesive caulk. These auto window repairs are a little more complicated, because you may have to apply a primer to the sealing surface of the window, and touching the glass in that area can prevent the adhesive from bonding to the glass, creating a leak. This type of glass requires an inexpensive suction cup or two to serve as handles to be able to move the glass into position.
Glass that moves (such as most door windows) usually is bolted to the window regulator at the bottom inside the door, and removal is just a matter of removing the door panel to unbolt the old glass. Getting the old glass out is usually pretty easy if it is already broken, but sometimes getting a new (whole) piece of glass into the door cavity and into position can be a challenge! Once you get it into place, it is just a matter of bolting it back to the window regulator, getting it adjusted correctly, and reinstalling the door panel.
Power window repair really isn t that hard either in many cases, especially if you have a little automotive mechanical and electrical knowledge. You can usually diagnose the problem with an inexpensive test light from the local auto parts store and either a factory service manual or a Haynes Repair Manual for your vehicle. Usually you will be replacing either the power window motor, the window regulator, or one of the switches or relays.
The window motor is the easiest thing to diagnose: If it has power and ground and doesn t work it is usually pretty obvious what is wrong! Switches and relays can be a little trickier, and you will need to consult a factory service manual for troubleshooting procedures that are specific to your vehicle. For a general power window troubleshooting procedure, take a look at our page on Power Window Repair .
Most people don t want to take the time and expend the effort to do their own auto window repairs, and that is understandable. Replacing car windows isn t much fun for most of us. It is much easier to let a professional repair your broken car window, and then you shouldn t have to wonder if it was done correctly or if it will cause you problems down the road. If you take it to a repair shop that specializes in auto window replacement . you can save time and aggravation. However, if you need (or want) to save some money and are mechanically inclined, automotive window replacement can be done at home by a novice.
*** What is the best source for auto service and repair information a factory service manual, ALLDATAdiy, a Haynes or Chiltons book, or. Check out my page on Auto Repair Information to find out the pros and cons of each.
If you just happen to be a car nut like me, you might also be interested in my garage planning website, GaragePlansEtc.com . I have lots of info on choosing garage plans, garage building kits, garage doors, and garage heating systems.
Take a look at the different pages on this website to learn what is involved in doing various types of auto window repairs.

At the same time, the education committee of RSGS had been discussing the loss of Geography in the curriculum, poor communication between the teachers and the SQA and the changes in Geography. There was also an RSGS/ SAGT task group which had been set up to discuss such issues. It was felt by the committee that it would be best to continue with the dialogue between SQA and also with the government as 'going to the press' was not a good idea and would not serve any of our members or our subject.
At this point we would like to say that complaints have always been about the SQA as a body/excessive paperwork / lack of clarity / the new qualifications etc and not individuals involved in the process.
As a result of these discussions it was decided that a survey about the Higher would be sent out to all members. We were led to believe, from the SQA, that we could not feedback our thoughts on the Higher individually as in the past, as this system was being stopped i.e. there appeared to be no teacher/learner survey available.
In online discussions, it was clear that members were getting very heated about SAGT not 'doing anything'. We tried to let people know, via minutes and ESGNs that discussion with the SQA was taking place.
This survey was put out and analysed by 3 members of committee and returns were received from 350 Geography teachers (members and non-members). This was presented at conference to the members who were present. It was decided to bring it up in the afternoon session so that there were no pupils present. The feedback was also started off with a statement that this was not a comment on the work of markers or setters but a reflection of how many members felt about the exam. Quotes were taken from the members who took part.
It was decided the results of this survey would be sent to the SQA and to the RSGS. It was also decided that we would send this to the government's review of SQA. The date for these responses was only a few days after the SAGT conference so it was copied and pasted from the power point results of the survey. In hindsight perhaps more care could have been taken over it as we subsequently found out that it had been published online by the government.
It was our intention to share the results of the survey with all SAGT members after the SQA had a chance to respond. However, the BBC's reporter had read the submission that was made to the government's review. It was decided that we would not respond to requests for an interview from the BBC as we felt that a report may upset markers and setters, as well as our pupils. We can only apologise if this was the case as the news report only really focussed on 1 or 2 lines from that survey.
SQA response
On the 18th of November Liz Crisp (past president) and I met with Angela Baird (Qualification manager), Lesley Joyce (Head of service) and Joan Highton. (Geography Subject Implementation manager). This was a very cordial and productive meeting.
The following points were made:
1. SQA were very surprised to hear our submission as they had only heard from one network group about concerns. We stated that this was partly because the usual feedback form was no longer available.
2. There was a problem with the reduction of the number of marks available having been reduced to 60 from the previous 200.It was agreed that this was not enough to adequately assess the course. They were looking at increasing the total number of marks for the written exam in the current review from 2018.
3. There was a great deal of difficulty getting people to mark the exams and it was only at the last minute that they managed to do so. It was agreed that this was partly due to the system of marking online. As a result, next year's Higher marking will be done on paper. The point was made that "marking from image" does give SQA more data re breakdown of marks for each question across whole cohort etc.
4. In response to criticism that pupils had performed lower than expected, we were told that statistics showed that the number of A passes matched perfectly the estimates that teachers sent. A – C passes were only 3 % less than estimates.
5. It was agreed that there was a problem with the physical geography being under-assessed in the exam. This will be looked at for the review of the Higher, which was already due to take place, before our complaints. The Higher review planned to take place next session will now occur the following year once National 5 amendments are in place. This is due to the government decision re removal of unit assessments in their current format.
6. There is a very rigorous checking of markers' work and the SQA were satisfied that there were no inconsistencies.
7. All questions and marking schemes were put through a rigorous checking procedure and all questions followed SQA guidelines.
8. 18 people had been involved in the standardisation process to make it rigorous.
9. Changes had already been planned after a review of both the National and Higher qualifications. John Swinney had set that deadline as June 2019.
10. There will be a high level statement made in January about the National exam and documents will be available in April. The plan is for the new information to be contained in one single document under different headings rather than in many different documents
11. The national rating for Geography is low and shows that pupils are performing as expected.
12. The difficulty of accessing the webinars was discussed .Angela was unaware of those problems and said that teachers should email her to let her know of problems. As a result of one email the number of people on the webinar was increased. Please continue to email if there are problems/ queries.
13. The importance of teachers reading the Principal Verifier's report and the Subject report was emphasised.
14. Unfortunately, SQA IT does not enable them to just mail info directly to geographers – updates, webinar dates etc. are highlighted in SQA Centre news sent to SQA co-ordinators weekly. It is possible for individual teachers to subscribe too and therefore get the information directly. SAGT try to highlight any new updates etc. on twitter, Facebook and on our webpage as well
It would be appreciated that anyone who is having problems accessing information ,who has concerns or questions regarding the qualifications should email either Angela Baird (qualifications manager ) : email@example.com or Joan Highton ( subject implementation manager): email@example.com. Or perhaps to email me, see below.
Elaine Batty, SAGT President 2015 – 17. (email@example.com)

· –Organises farmer awareness seminar in Indore to mark the launch of 'Kisan Kalyan Ayojan'
· –Ruchi Soya associated with 10 million farmers across India plans to expand this initiative across the country
Ruchi Soya Industries Limited, India's leading Agri and Food FMCG company in association with State Bank of India (SBI) today announced the launch of 'Kisan Kalyan Ayojan'- an initiative aimed at supporting farmers in availing the benefits of digital banking post demonetization.
To mark the launch of 'Kisan Kalyan Ayojan', a farmer awareness seminar was conducted which was attended by close to 100 farmers and agricultural labours from villages near the city. Shri Rajesh Sonkar, MLA along with Shri Varad Murti Mishra, Additional Collector & CEO Zila Panchayat graced the occasion with their presence and addressed the farmers. Renowned Indian journalist, writer and sports commentator – Padma Shri awardee – Mr. Sushil Doshi was also present at the launch ceremony.
Shri P.K. Balaji – Deputy General Manager, SBI in his key note address highlighted the need for farmers to come into the banking fold and said that in the long run, farmers will be greatly benefitted by demonetization and digitization.
Mr. Dinesh Shahra – Founder & Managing Director, Ruchi Soya Industries Limited said, "We are delighted to be partnering India's largest bank – SBI which has a large rural reach to launch this banking initiative for farmers. Our Hon'ble Prime Minister's demonetization move to eradicate black money is a great step as increased transparency and credit access will go a long way in developing India"s agricultural sector which accounts for employment of over 50% of the Indian population. Access to banking system will provide necessary credit for investment in agrarian sector which will create more jobs and opportunities in India's hinterlands." He further added "I'm hopeful that more corporates and institutions will come forward and participate in the process of educating and empowering the rural farmers and make them truly 'DigitalKisan'.
Ruchi Soya & SBI's Kisan Kalyan Ayojan initiative will help the farmers in the following ways:-
· –Opening of Bank Accounts of Farmers/Agricultural Labours
· –Procuring produce directly from farmers at the right price
· –Ensuring Farmers receive their payment immediately through internet banking
· –Maintaining banking helpdesks for farmers coming to sell off their produce in mandis
· –Educating farmers on the banking process through awareness seminars
To start off, banking assistance will be provided to soybean farmers in Indore, Samwer, Manglia and Ujjain mandis in Madhya Pradesh. Ruchi Soya further plans to expand this programme across the country encompassing other states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat.
Ruchi Soya is associated with 10 million farmers across the country through crops like soybean, mustard and palm.

I was going to stop bothering even mentioning the warriors due to the mistreatment I had yet there has been something I felt had to share with those warriors who still read my blog here…and it IS a few of you judging by my blog visit stats.
Not surprisingly because of the fact it happens in life everywhere I have encountered some seriously sad backstabbing from the two faced warriors who are simply to stupid to realise that it only hurts them.
Listen up you backstabbing two faced warriors (you know who you are too) , you are NOT hurting me in any sense but you are making yourself look stupid…which you probably are so it's no surprise there.
I will say though you are seriously misguided when you say the warriors is the place to be if you want success…woah there, if you really think so you are as stupid as you sound.
Most people have NEVER heard of the place and yet they have good success…so what gives you that stupid view on things?
The fact you have emailed me calling me alsorts and saying that I am a nobody is not doing anything but making it clear to me what sort of a person you are…not one I would want to know anyway.
What IS surprising is the few who I considered friends who have stabbed me in the back with their two facedness, so they are not really friends as such just users who are a little to stupid to realise they make themselves look bad…I could EASILY name you here for everyone to see….would you like that?
Didn't think so either…so a little warning to you there, that should you feel like emailing me with another load of crap…your name will be on here for all to see!
If you are so sure of the warriors making you rich as you say…why are you bothering with me?
Let me say this…the way you said that you will get rich from the warriors will end up ONE way…you being banned because what one of you said in essence is you plan to rip them off!
Doubt that will go down well lol!
Whatever happens you won't be hurting me because I am not there to be ripped off… ;o)

If you have little ones, you may be at a loss on which flooring to choose for your home. At Floor Coverings International, serving Henderson and Las Vegas, Nevada, we understand that safety, durability, and cost are all important factors in your purchase decision which is why we offer many different options to meet your flooring needs.
Carpeting has some definite pros and cons for those with children. One benefit is safety; if your child happens to fall, the cushioned landing is more forgiving than a hard surface. It also is great for minimizing sound, an advantage all parents can get behind. Of course, it is important to consider that this flooring will be less resistant to juice box spills than other options. If allergies are of concern, especially if you own pets, carpet will need to be cleaned more frequently.
Many parents want hardwood floors in their home, but fear that their child may hurt themselves if they were to fall. If you are dead set on this flooring option, consider putting area rugs in places of high traffic to minimize scratching and serious head bumps. While hardwood does take some regular and consistent upkeep, it's easier to control messes and stains than carpet.
Ceramic Tile
One flooring option that is great for families is ceramic tile. While you may have to implement an area rug to keep it safe for little noggins, it can be cheaper than hardwood and easier to maintain. The common concern is that tile is not as effective as other flooring materials at keeping in heat, but in a hot climate like Las Vegas, Nevada, this is less of an issue.
Still undecided as to what flooring type you should pick? If you're leaning towards hardwood but are adverse to the cost and upkeep, consider cork or bamboo flooring, which are easier to maintain. Another option is to tailor your flooring needs to each room – for example, putting hardwood in the master bedroom and carpet in the playroom.
Floor Coverings International of Henderson is here to help with your family's flooring needs and we will work with you to create the best flooring plan for your home. Call us today for a free in-home consultation or to learn more about our products and services. Now serving the greater Henderson and Las Vegas areas.

Happy Sunday, kiddoes! Welcome to week 3 of Richard Marshall and Bill Blackbeard's 1078 treasure-trove, The Sunday Funnies, this week spotlighting the decade that America got plugged in and began feeling it's oats.
Electricity was a common thing and seeping into rural areas. Phone service and network radio (1925) and the rough pubescent age of the cinema all served to open communication and make us all more sophisticated. Whether we liked it or not. Paved roads outside our cities and Route 66 traipsing across this country bringing us all together. Just a few decades out of the cowboy era, and our frontier was all pioneered out. Our world was smaller thanks to communication and transportation, and with the Jazz Age it was louder and sexier, too.
At least the physical nature of it. The possibilities of the humor, adventure, continuity and story-telling in the comic strip was just being tapped into. And a wellspring was struck.
This week we get to bask in the talents of George McManus ("Bringing Up Father"), Billy DeBeck ("Barney Google"), John Held Jr. ("Joe Prep", "Merely Margie"), Harold Gray ("Little Orphan Annie"), Cliff Sterrett ("Sweet-Heart's and Wives", "Polly & Her Pals"), Martin Branner ("Winnie Winkle"), C.W. Kahles ("Hairbreadth Harry") and Frank Willard ("Moon Mullins").
The comics were growing up a little, and se were we, America.
Dig in!
Next Sunday: The Dirty Thirties!
Talk to you soon.

PASTOR B. CONSTANTINO vs. HERMINIA ESPIRITU
Issue: May those who are not parties to a contract be benefited by said contract?
Facts of the case: Pastor Constantino sold two parcels of land to Herminia Espiritu, on the condition that the land will be held in trust for their already conceived but as yet unborn illegitimate son. Espiritu took two mortgages on the land and then offered them for sale. Constantino asked the court to: one, issue a temporary restraining order to stop the sale of the lands; and two: compel Espiritu to execute a deed of absolute sale to Pastor Constantino Jr., then two years old.
Espiritu moved to dismiss the case on two grounds: Pastor Jr. was not a party to the suit; and the Statute on Frauds (which basically says that some contracts, including those involving land, should be in writing; and signed by all parties bound by the contracts).
Constantino argued that what was involved was an implied trust under Art. 1453. The trial court dismissed the complaint. Constantino then filed a motion for an amended complaint, to have his son Pastor Jr. included in the suit. The trial court dismissed the motion, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court.
Ratio: The court ruled that the contract appears to be a contract pour autrui, although couched in the form of a deed of absolute sale, and appellant's action was, in effect, one for specific performance.
The court held that that the Statute of Frauds was not a strong defense as it was "clear upon the facts alleged in the amended complaint that the contract between the parties had already been partially performed by the execution of the deed of sale, the action brought below being only for the enforcement of another phase thereof, namely, the execution by appellee of a deed of conveyance in favor of beneficiary thereunder." Whether or not the properties were sold to be held in trust for their child was a matter of fact that should be proved in court.
Decision: Case remanded to the lower court for further trial.
