Please Read On
- With these questions, let's go into the World Of Eyelashes!
How About Starting With The Eyelash Market?
- There are two kinds of American eyelash suppliers in the market, one is a local Eyelash manufacturer, and the other, foreign Eyelash vendor.
- Besides saving time and cost in testing products and styles, local manufacturers have no advantage in price.
- Foreign eyelash suppliers mostly refer to Chinese companies. China is the birthplace and production base of eyelashes with a strong production capacity,
- obvious price advantage, and high-quality eyelash, especially suitable for beauty salon, supermarket procurement,
- individual beauty makeup, and bloggers procurement. Covid-19 has led to strict checks on travel between countries.
- However, the professional service of Chinese enterprises is efficient and the delivery service is timely, which is consistent with the local logistics in the United States, or even faster.
- Thus, seize the opportunity which may rapidly promote your eyelash business and make enormous profits!
- Of course, you can do a Google search or seek Eyelash Suppliers on YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook.
- We wouldn't advise you to do that without professional identification.《why-choose-us-as-an-eyelash-vendors/ 》
- After all, "Every potter praises hit the pot." We would like to offer you the following suggestions.
hademade eyelash factory
Three-Step Strategy:
- A. Pre-purchase test. (if you do not know how to test, contact us, we will guide you)
- B. Know the characteristics of superior eyelashes.
- C. Make test orders to judge their service attitude.
- Good mink eyelashes are very popular in the market, if the seller does not reply in time, please be more patient.
- If you want to find a top-selling model, contact us and we'll send you the one for 2020.
- The list of eyelash vendors after-market testing is ready for you, and if necessary, we are willing to recommend to you free of charge.
Reasons For Choosing Mink Hair
- 1 Lifelike and precious in material, light and soft in texture with nobility compared with chemical fiber hair, horsehair, and false eyelashes;
- 2 High cost, superior quality;
- 3 Various kinds for your satisfying selection;
- 4 Easy and convenient to wear; No need to go to the beauty salon to graft eyelashes, which is expensive and time-wasting;

- We hope that people can actually wear green, healthy, fashionable, top-grade, and Luxury 3D mink Lashes.
- If you want to get a real mink sample, you can contact our staff to get three free samples of eyelashes for testing.
Master These Three Points And You Will Find Qualified Suppliers!
First, High-Quality Eyelash Products
- This is the basis for deciding whether they are high-quality eyelash suppliers or not, regardless of the service.
Second,Healthy Eyelashes
- What consumers must understand is that most factories use chemical agents to shape and create 3D effects.
- If the residue is not cleaned thoroughly, it will irritate the eyes and skin on the eyelashes,
- which will cause eye fatigue and watery eyes in some cases, and eye diseases in others. So healthy eyelashes are especially important.

Third, Professional Services
- This kind of professional service can be transformed into a brand and sales force in the market,
- which will help you better achieve sales goals and improve your brand image.
- Professional service comes from professional teams with perfect functions and a clear division of labor, which is more trustworthy and cooperative.
There Are Two Lashes Vendors In The Market, Which Provide Professional Eyelash Wholesale Business.
International Trade Wholesalers.
- At present, 64% of eyelash vendors are international trade wholesalers, among which half have a professional ability,
- strong serviceability, and fast response speed. They directly buy large quantities of eyelashes from companies at very low prices and export them to customers around the world.

Eyelash Manufacturers And Factories.
Two Kinds:
- one is the lash factory of industry trade body which have their own international trade departments and factories. The ministry of trade is mostly in the CBD of the city's, and the factories are seated in the remote suburbs, so it takes two to three hours to drive to visit.
- The other is a pure eyelash factory. If you are professional enough, you must know those high-end eyelashes belong to handicrafts.
- Our eyelashes are all made by hand with high labor costs, so our factories are located in towns. Without an international trade department,
- export capacity, or professional sales staff, the factory itself is specialized in serving international trade wholesalers.
- If you want to do business with them, you have to come to the Chinese eyelash factory with an interpreter so that you can negotiate and communicate.
- If necessary, our company will provide this kind of translation service, and help you choose the best eyelashes manufacturers.
- Besides, We will provide a vehicle and accommodation service, a one-stop service reception service so that you can enjoy the characteristics and folk customs, food, and culture of Qingdao in China.
- Our goal is not sales performance, but our serviceability that how many housewives, students, beauty salons, supermarkets, eyelash companies,
- Eyelash Wholesalers can we help and how many people to start businesses, to achieve the dream of wealth and life value can we drive!

Though I've been writing Mummy Buzz for years, I'm still somewhat mystified as to which stories will resonate most with our readers. And 2014 was no exception.
These are the biggest stories - the ones that caught your attention most - this year:
10. Another day, another jerk on a plane. As parents we need to occupy our kids, and it's a constant struggle to keep them quiet. But when this mom refused to make her daughter wear headphones, and became belligerent with security in a viral YouTube video, she lost the sympathy of many of our readers.
"Since when do a parent's or child's rights trump that of every other person on the planet? It's this kind of self-entitled attitude that gives us all a bad name."
9. We love Mila Kunis and "we" love her even more when she ripped into Jimmy Kimmel for using this common misleading phrase. It was zero for Kimmel and one for pregnant women everywhere.
"... we can't have shots of tequila. We can't have anything, because we've got your little love goblin growing inside of us."
8. In a daring move, this Australian mom and cancer survivor took off her red dress in Facebook photos. Though she lost many of her so-called 'friends' by exposing herself, you called her a hero.
"Each day we walk past people. These individuals appear normal but under their clothing sometimes their bodies tell a different story ... cancer effects everyone. The old and the young, age does not matter, self-examination is vital. It can happen to you."
7. A couple issued a retraction of a birth announcement for their daughter—19 years later—under the header "Oops our bad." It seems they had a son all along. A short and sweet newspaper ad spoke volumes about unconditional love. Acceptance starts at home.
"If all parents were as accepting of their children as they truly are—rather than as we want them to be—maybe then we have a shot at raising a generation of self-aware, accepting, and kind future adults."
6. The story of Britain's youngest ever parents—12 and 13 years old respectively—resonated with readers, not purely for shock value, but because they claim to be very much in love and committed to raising the baby together.
"She's brought something beautiful into the world and we're going to stand by her."
5. Who is this actress posing on the red carpet and what has she done with Renee Zellweger? That's the burning question many people were asking after we posted before and after pictures of the actress after she appeared on an awards show with a radically different face.
"The fact is, while it's terrible that people feel the need to pass commentary on a celebrity's appearance, in this case at least I don't feel most people were doing so out of malice so much as out of genuine mystification."
4. Jenny McCarthy's "rule following" son proved that he's too cool for school when he called the cops on his mom for texting while driving. She may have poked fun of him on live radio, yet you applauded him for being more clued up than his feckless mother.
"She should be thanking her son for potentially saving both their lives; instead, she apparently threw his phone out the window."
3. In the year that was all things 'Frozen,' it's little wonder that the parody of 'Let it Go' by a blogger struck such a nerve on YMC. The lyrics as they pertained to moms were hilarious and spot on.
"Don't let them in
Don't let them see
Take a moment to yourself
And pee"
2. Robert Munsch is one of Canada's best loved children's authors, yet few of us knew the real and deeply private meaning behind his classic, 'I'll Love You Forever.' And once you know, you will never view the book the same way.
"Eventually a haunting song grew into an equally haunting story about a mother's enduring love for her baby."
And (cue: drum roll) the number one most read Buzz story this year was...
1. A lot of drama over a certain photo of Willow Smith, the 13-year-old daughter of Jada and Will Smith. Willow's parents took no issue with a bedroom shot of their daughter with a much older family friend. But Child Services did. Was the photo a genuine cause for concern?
"There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it."
Was 2014 a bad year for you? It was a terrible year for Eric Meyer. Not only did he lose his six-year-old daughter, Rebecca, he was recently reminded of the awful reality by his very insensitive computer.
Meyer was strangely gracious about the whole thing. He didn't blame Facebook programmers of the 'Year in Review' app for creating an algorithm that simply spits out the major moments in our social media timelines.
Why Social Media Makes Me Want To Churn Butter In The Woods
Regardless of what Hollywood tells you, artificial intelligence can't distinguish between the emotion behind said major moments, be they heavenly or abjectly hellish.
"For those of us who lived through the death of loved ones, or spent extended time in the hospital, or were hit by divorce or losing a job or any one of a hundred crises, we might not want another look at this past year," wrote Meyer on his blog.
In other words, 2014 was a monumental year for Meyer, and one he will never forget. But not for any reason he wants to remember. So when the Facebook app depicted a party scene complete with streamers and balloons surrounding an image of his late daughter's smiling face, it ground the proverbial salt in this dad's wide-open wound.
3 Easy Ways To Look Like A Great Mom On Social Media
Meyer called the gaffe "inadvertent algorithmic cruelty," and despite receiving a personal apology from the app's product manager, Jonathan Gheller, 'sorry' falls painfully short of excusing the error. After all, computers don't act of their own free will.
Behind every Mac and Microsoft is an accountable programmer—and this one screwed up royally.
"Where the human aspect fell short, at least with Facebook," wrote Meyer, "was in not providing a way to opt out. The Year in Review ad keeps coming up in my feed, rotating through different fun-and-fabulous backgrounds, as if celebrating a death, and there is no obvious way to stop it."
Bored to death? Turns out, there's more truth to that turn of phrase than we care to admit. While occasional bouts of boredom can spur us to creative feats, being bored can actually be harmful.
While the greatest ideas can come when the mind is in a quiet - even humdrum state - chronic boredom can actually drive us to indulge in hurtful activities such as taking drugs, drinking, smoking, even eating to excess. (Show of hands who can vouch for that, after the recent holidays?)
Boredom For Kids Gives Birth To Creativity But It's A Messy Process
"Boredom at work is propping up the confectionery industry," says psychologist at University of Central Lancashire, Sandi Mann. Consider the afternoon slump that lures many an office worker to the vending machines!
Boredom is healthy and serves an evolutionary purpose to the extent that it propels us to move forward and try new things. Boredom can lead us into uncharted, innovative territory. In kids, it boosts imaginative play.
But can boredom kill you? Yes, apparently. A study of middle-aged civil servants in the UK proved that boredom can actually shave years off your life. Lingering boredom can point to an existential crisis or ennui in need of probing.
Instead of embracing occasional boredom as a chance to "get out of the box," we try to avoid it at all costs. Waiting in line for a coffee or stuck at the doctor's office? Whip out your smartphone, fidget, or flick through a magazine. Even for a matter of minutes, doing nothing is a real struggle.

Inc., has had a wild financial ride this past week with its stock price soaring
and then plummeting in the wake of a nearly $18 million award last Thursday from the
California stem cell agency.
The share price of
the New York firm dropped 22 percent today after it announced that it was
seeking to raise $25 million by selling 12.5 million shares. The move is aimed at helping to finance its
stage three melanoma trial. Terms of the California award require a
dollar-for-dollar match of the agency's funds for the trial.
The market
was not happy with the company's plans to sell more of its stock at a possible
price of $2.00 share. The stock today closed at $2.06. Last Thursday it closed
at $2.95, up 28 percent for the day. Its 52-week performance has ranged from a
low of $2.03 to a high of $7.23.
The Street
web site today was critical of the firm, giving its stock a D-minus rating and
recommended selling it. The Street said,
"This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
Last week,
some stem cell agency board members raised questions about the financing of the
trial. Steve Juelsgaard, former executive vice president of Genentech, asked about
the company's "plan B."
David Mazzo, NeoStem photo |
David Mazzo,
CEO of NeoStem, responded by mentioning a possible stock sale and also said the
firm had a $30 million equity line of credit.
The company
plans to conclude its stock sale on June 2. The stem cell award is on a fast-track
to deliver cash to the company within 45 days of approval of the grant. But that
requires evidence of the matching funds.
The prospectus for the offering says the four-year trial will cost $25 million, but
one analyst says it could cost as up $51 million. The prospectus also indicated some of the
money raised next week could go for purposes other than the melanoma trial.

Once at the time of Hajj, there was a gathering in Mecca of some friends of Allah; the youngest among whom was Junaid Baghdadi (ra). In that gathering, there was a discussion on the subject of 'Love for Allah' and as to who is the lover of Allah. Many of them expressed their views on the subject, but Junaid (ra) kept quiet. He was pressed to say something.
With his head bowed down and tears in his eyes, he said,
"The lover of Allah is he who forgets his own self, remains engaged in Allah's remembrance with due regard to all its requirements; sees Allah with the eyes of his heart, which is burnt by the heat of Allah's fear; Allah's remembrance affects him like a cup of wine, he speaks the word of Allah as if All-Mighty Allah speaks through his mouth; if he moves, he does so under the command of Allah; he gets peace of mind only through the obedience of Allah; and when such a stage is reached, his eating, drinking, sleeping, awakening and, in short, all his actions are for the pleasure of Allah; he neither pays heed to the worldly customs, nor does he attach any importance to unfriendly criticism by people."

Some books receive titles that are a little bit mysterious, only hinting at what the book contains. There are others that just give it all away in the title. Biblical Teaching on the Doctrines of Heaven and Hell pretty well says it all. Edward Donnelly simply turns to Scripture to see what God says about these important doctrines of heaven and hell.
Heaven is a popular subject at the moment. Randy Alcorn's book Heaven has over 300,000 copies in print and there are another 200,000 Heaven-related products in print with it. I'm quite sure that he would have sold fewer than 3,000 had the book been titled Hell. Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven has sold millions of copies and has been on the New York Times list of bestsellers for months now. For obvious reasons, hell is a less popular topic. Bill Wiese's 23 Minutes in Hell has barely made a splash. We would far rather ponder heaven than hell. And for good reason. But in this book Donnelly dedicates equal time to both subjects.
The first half of the book discusses hell in all its fiery horror; the second part turns to heaven with all its beautiful glory. The first half is difficult to read and weighs heavily on the soul; the second is like a sip of cool water on a hot day. The first terrifies; the second elevates. Donnelly is not given to hyperbole or imagination. He does not present a fictionalized vision of hell that owes more to horror movies or medieval art and imaginings than to the Bible. Rather, he simply relates what the Bible tells us, both explicitly and implicitly, about that awful place. He does so under four alliterated headings: Absolute Poverty, Agonizing Pain, Angry Presence and Appalling Prospect. When, in the second half of the book he turns to heaven, he does not guess what it is like or fall into conjecture about what we will experience there. Instead he relates only what the Bible tells us, reflecting on the fullness of joy that is there and waiting for those who love the Lord.
Though only a short book, weighing in at just 127 pages, Biblical Teaching on the Doctrines of Heaven and Hell still seems to be thorough. This is, I believe, because though the subjects of heaven and hell are mentioned often in the Bible, we do not receive a great deal of detail about them. They are so far beyond our experience that God can only give us glimpses of what they will be like by drawing comparisons to what we know and experience in this life. This is a book that dedicates equal time to both subjects, first allowing the heart and spirit to recoil at the though of hell but then comforting it with the knowledge of heaven. Throughout the book Donnelly is pastoral, often challenging the reader and continually returning to the gospel, ensuring the reader knows that the promises of heaven are given only to those who know the Lord and that the horrors of hell can be avoided by those who will turn to Him. For those interested in doing some reading on the subject matter, this book is a worthwhile investment in both time and money. I recommend it.

INDIANAPOLIS — Helio Castroneves has won the Indianapolis 500 Sunday and joins the shortlist of drivers who have won the race four times.
After winning, Castroneves scaled the fence at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of the largest crowd since more than a year ago.
About 135,000 fans attended the event, the largest gathering at a sporting event in the world since the coronavirus pandemic started. The attendance number was agreed upon by health officials and is 40% of the speedway's capacity.
What an awesome win for @h3lio! #Indy500 pic.twitter.com/ykZoAQDJAQ

I want to express my shock and deep sadness at the tragic taxi/train accident yesterday in Blackheath, which resulted in the deaths of 9 children and injuries to five other children and the taxi driver.
On behalf of the entire Anglican Church of Southern Africa I offer assurance of our prayers and sincere condolences to the families of those children who died as well as to their fellow students at Good Hope and Kalksteenfontein Primary Schools, and Bellville, Kasselsvlei, and Kuilsriver Technical Schools. We are praying for the repose of the souls of those who died and also praying that God will give peace and hope, comfort and strength, to their families and all who mourn their deaths, as well as to all those caught up in this terrible tragedy.
Early reports have indicated that the driver of the taxi ignored the warning lights and the operation of crossing booms, designed to avoid such tragedies. I join others in calling for a thorough investigation of this accident, and if the driver of the taxi is found negligent, that he be subject to the strongest sentence possible.
The rules of the road are in place to ensure the safety of us all and it is imperative that we uphold them for every road user. Our experience of the World Cup showed that we can improve our public transportation system, especially for those who commute daily. Better transportation, including for learners, has the potential to help bridge the gaps of race and class which still exists.

If your feet are feeling tired and sore after a long day of wearing tennis shoes, it may be time to think about replacing them. Take a look at your shoes. Are there any signs of wear such as a weak sole or little tread left? Our feet work best when the shoes we wear are in good shape and have adequate support. Old shoes that are loose and worn increase our likelihood of developing health problems and injuries such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, ingrown toenails, stress fractures, shin splints and more. So, whether you are an avid marathoner or just enjoy a walk in the park now and then, it is important to know when to change your shoes.
Mileage and Age
A good rule of thumb is to replace your shoes every 350-500 miles. For some shoes that could mean six months, but others could last longer. If you don't keep track of your shoe mileage, replacing a pair that you use often every 8-12 months is good practice.
There are several other factors to take into account such as the material of the shoe, how hard you are on your feet, what activity is performed in the shoes, body weight, how often you wear the shoes, and the terrain. These are all important variables when determining the shoe age.
The Old Shoe Test
You can also perform an old shoe test to see if your shoes are still worth keeping in your closet. If you can bend the forefoot of the shoe backward with ease, then it is time to replace your shoes.
Laying your shoe on a flat surface is another good test, good shoes should lay evenly on the ground with no tipping or rocking. If your shoe tilts to one side it is most likely worn down.
Press your thumb against the cushion of your shoe. There should be some resistance against your thumb for shock absorption. If there is no resistance, then your shoes have likely reached their time for retirement.
Other Considerations
Mileage isn't the only way to measure the age of your shoes. Here are some red flags to look for when deciding whether or not to replace your shoes:
- If your shoes do not feel as comfortable or supportive as when they were new, it may be time to replace them. Shoes should not feel loose and you shouldn't have to constantly retie them to tighten or maintain their support.
- If you notice any distress such as tears or wrinkles in the material on the exterior, they may be worn out.
- Look at the tread and pay attention to the grip of your shoe, if the tread is smoothed out or disappeared it is time for a new pair of shoes.
Don't wait until your feet are aching or for a hole to appear in your shoes to justify buying a new pair. Most people wait too long before replacing their shoes and as a result, suffer pain from wearing the same worn pair day after day. Heel spurs, achy soles and ankles, tender knees, and stress fractures are all common complaints from patients who have waited too long to replace their shoes. For more information on when to replace your shoes or how to treat foot pain from tired shoes, please contact Loren Miller, DPM today.

CARL KASELL: From NPR and WBEZ-Chicago, this is WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!, the NPR News quiz. I'm Carl Kasell. We're playing this week with Mo Rocca, Faith Salie and Roy Blount, Jr. And here again is your host, at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, Peter Sagal.
Thank you, Carl. In just a minute, Carl says, "frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a rhyme," in our Listener Limerick Challenge. If you'd like to play, give us a call at 1-888-Wait-Wait, that's 1-888-924-8924.
Right now, panel, some more questions for you from the week's news. Faith, facing probing questions from reporters, a State Department spokesperson was forced to deny that the United States has any plans to do what?
FAITH SALIE: I need a hint please.
SAGAL: It might be retribution for infecting us with Bieber fever.
SALIE: Export Justin Beiber.
SAGAL: No.
SALIE: Deport him?
SAGAL: No, it would be sort of vengeance.
SALIE: Send him back to Canadia.
SAGAL: No.
SAGAL: The State Department denied that the US is planning to do something else to Canada.
SALIE: Invade.
SAGAL: Yes, invade it.
SALIE: Oh my gosh.
SAGAL: A State Department official was briefing reporters on a new agreement signed by the US and Mexico, and a reporter asked if the agreement included any plans for a joint invasion of Canada.
SAGAL: And the spokeswoman replied, quote, "Who told you?"
SAGAL: Actually, no, she said, quote, "No, no, no, it's not anything classified," unquote. Note that she didn't say, "No, we're not invading Canada."
SAGAL: Nor did she say anything about the new camouflage uniforms given to the 101st Airborne. They're plaid flannel shirts and Dockers.
ROY BLOUNT JR: Well, this is a time, we ought to go ahead and do it now before it gets cold, I'll tell you that.
SAGAL: That's true.
SAGAL: Mo, it was 30 years ago this week that what was invented by a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon?
MO ROCCA: Oh, so something was invented by a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon. It's not something about Apple. It's not the internet.
SAGAL: Something that's made all kinds of emails and texts much more evocative.
ROCCA: Oh, the emoticon.
SAGAL: The emoticon was invented 30 years ago this week, very good.
SALIE: Oh.
SAGAL: It was such an important day in the annals of human communication. Without it, whole generations of teenagers would have had to learn how to write in words.
SAGAL: On September 19th, 1982, Professor Scott Fahlman of Carnegie Mellon put up a post on a computer bulletin board, suggesting a colon, a dash and a closed parenthesis - which looks like a smiling face, if you look at it sideways - as the official indicator of humor in online communication. Do you guys use emoticons?
JR: No.
SAGAL: No.
SALIE: It's usually - you know, there are two camps, right?
SAGAL: Yeah.
SALIE: There's the LOLs who do the same thing, it's LOL or emoticons. I have to say that I have - it took about three months to adjust to the fact that my - he's my husband now but when we were dating he used emoticons. And it was tough. I mean I am a feminist, but I felt it was very unmanly. I don't like gender stereotypes.
SAGAL: Right.
SALIE: But it made me feel uncomfortable.
ROCCA: No, but I do a Teddy Roosevelt roughrider emoticon. So, that's very manly.
ROCCA: It's an eight and then it's - OK, so it's an eight and it's followed by not the bracket, what's the swishy bracket one?
SALIE: Is that the mustache?
ROCCA: Yes, that's the mustache and then you do a zero for the mouth. I'm telling you, it looks like T. R.
SAGAL: OK, but what emotion or state of mind are you using little Teddy Roosevelt to indicate?
SALIE: Populism.
ROCCA: To speak softly and to carry a big stick.
SAGAL: Right.
SAGAL: Roy, researchers in Britain have determined, through science that one of the most embarrassing things in the world is what?
JR: Falling down stairs. That's my main one really.
SAGAL: I'll give you a hint.
JR: Falling down several flights of stairs.
SAGAL: Well, wait a minute.
SALIE: Roy.
JR: No, come on.
SAGAL: That's more painful than embarrassing isn't it?
JR: Well, it depends on why you fell down the...
SALIE: If you're wearing heels, in your case, it's embarrassing.
JR: Can you give this one to Faith? I don't want to go into my...
SAGAL: Well, wait a minute, do you need a hint, dad, I mean Roy?
JR: Fathers are the most embarrassing thing.
SAGAL: That's true, but no.
JR: You said dad?
SAGAL: I did.
JR: You made a sort of Freudian slip.
SAGAL: Specifically.
JR: Dad? I mean this is very confusing and disturbing frankly.
JR: Son.
ROCCA: Oh, calling...
SALIE: Calling someone...
ROCCA: Calling somebody...
JR: By the wrong name.
ROCCA: ...like by the wrong name.
SAGAL: Well, specifically calling somebody mom or dad.
ROCCA: Somebody mom or dad, yeah.
SAGAL: You have not called your spouse mom or dad by accident, then you have not been married.
SALIE: Are you kidding?
ROCCA: Gosh, it happens? Wow.
SAGAL: Yeah. Well I mean...
SALIE: Do you stay married after you do that?
ROCCA: No, you poke your eyes out, right?
SAGAL: I believe so. According to a recent British study, there are at least 50 ways, including that one, humans embarrass themselves every day, from thinking someone's waving at you when they're not.
SAGAL: To accidentally liking something on Facebook to whatever Joe Biden is doing right this second.
SAGAL: Here are some other things from the list. Forgetting someone's name when introducing them.
SALIE: Yeah, that's bad.
SAGAL: Tripping over in public.
SALIE: Always funny.
JR: I told you.
SAGAL: Getting someone's name wrong. Not being noticed by someone you're waving at.
ROCCA: That's true.
SAGAL: You know what's funny? The same thing that works with fortune cookies works with these, they're all worse, or they still work when you add "in bed."
SAGAL: So, like, not being noticed by someone you're waving at in bed.
SALIE: Waving at in bed.
SAGAL: Forgetting where you parked, in bed.
SALIE: Calling someone dad in bed.
SAGAL: Yeah.

Climate change is predicted to have severe consequences for South Asia, particularly in agriculture, which employs more than 60 per cent of the region's labor force.
Some of the predicted impacts of climate change include: increased variability in both monsoon and winter rainfall patterns; increases in average temperatures, with warmer winters; increased salinity in coastal areas; weakening ecosystems; the recession of glaciers in the Himalayas; and increased frequency and/or severity of extreme weather events (floods, cyclones, and droughts).
Adaptation efforts in South Asia have so far been fragmented, lacking a strong link between national climate change strategies and plans, and existing disaster risk reduction, agricultural, and other relevant policies. This disconnect partly stems from a lack of conceptual understanding and partly from the ongoing debate as to what constitutes adaptation and what represents good and sustainable development.
Focusing on five countries in the region (Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), this review captures examples of good practice in climate change adaptation programming, in order to inform Oxfam's learning, enabling it and other organizations to replicate some of these good practices in their own programs and to advocate their adequate financing and governance.

A spectacular environment to dive into
Swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic is always a pleasure but the experience turns into something unforgettable when you swim in one of the natural pools of the Canary Islands. The archipelago is particularly rich in these natural resources as well as in these types of pools, all of which are full of charm and are strikingly beautiful. The natural pools are enclosed spaces into which, due to their natural formation, the sea water seeps without any human intervention apart from adding steps, walkways and diving points. This is why they are a must for all those visitors who, apart from having a refreshing dip, look for authentic and natural perfection.

Why Do Working Mothers Earn Less Than Fathers? — Dollars and Sense
It's no secret that job-hunters are having a particularly tough time right now — but if you're a woman who's married with kids, you may have a tougher time securing employment than a man in the same scenario.
Researchers from the University of Washington found that married moms who lost their jobs between 2007 and 2009 have a 31 percent lower chance of finding a new job than married fathers.
What's more, they tend to go longer between jobs and are less likely to land a new job at all. But even if they do, they get paid a lot less than their male counterparts: married moms in the study earned $9,000 a year less than married fathers. Single fathers also take home more than single mothers.
"There does appear to be a motherhood penalty," says study co-author Brian Serafini. "There are stereotypes that they will be less productive employees because they will have to pick up their kids and leave work early."
Other research, however, has found that women — whether they're married, single, or have kids — are just as ambitious and dedicated to their work as men. But killing off the old preconceived notions is taking a long time.
Brad Harrington, executive director of the Center for Work & Family at Boston College, says there's one way to make things move along faster: dispel the notion that moms are solely responsible for kids' care, which will make people "realize it's just as likely for men to make trade-offs and compromises."

And because you are all THE best friends a pug could ever have, you get to see it before anyone else on the whole entire planet. Like, an entire week earlier because the video is for Earth Day.
I know not everyone is into the whole "Green" thing, but hopefully my video will change your mind. Or at least make you think. Or laugh. Or cry. Or whatever.
I just really hope you like it because this will be the last video we do for awhile. My human's brain needs a break and I probably have AT LEAST a few pounds to lose from all the eco-friendly things I learned to do. Dutch even learned something new AND cooperated for the camera, so keep an eye out for his cameo.
Anyway. Here it is. Enjoy and pass it on :)
I'll be back a little later with some Flattie news!!
The link to it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKoLBSK8SSE

I am totally going green after watching your video. I never looked very good in green, it's just never been my color. After seeing your video I realize there are many different shades of green and one of them is bound to be flattering. I'll try all the shades and see which ones fit. Thank you, Dutch and your human for caring about the earth enough to make this video. My human is going to post your dailypuglet address on her facebook, so everyone can see how to be green.

Awesome video Puglet!
Our city is pretty good at being green, so we do almost everything in your video except I've never been on a bus and it's been about 20 years for my human (total car addict).
It also took her a while to remember to take cloth bags when shopping but since we have to pay for each plastic one we use at the store, it finally sunk in. Hey, that's cookie money going down the drain.
I loved Dutch's cameo. I think he's going to follow in your footsteps and be a fabulous canine actor/model/activist just like you. - April 15, 2010 at 10:28 AM

It'd be supergreat if everyone was a green as, say, my man Stubby. But until that day comes, I think it's still good if we all just take steps closer and closer to greenery.
Honestly? My human has a hard time remembering bags (we now have TONS of cloth ones), is also addicted to her car and we have Crab-with-a-K in our fridge (don't ask, this isn't typical). But we do recycle and volunteer and we traded in the bug SUV for the little silver mazda in the video.
Green doesn't have to mean perfect. Greenish is better than, uh, brown? Red? Whatever the opposite of green is :) - April 15, 2010 at 11:07 AM
WOW Puglet! You are so super cool! We are pretty green at our house, too. We also traded in our SUV for a little red Prius. Can't beat 45-50 mpg! We recycle, compost, grow a lot of our own veggies and TONS of strawberries. My mom's not the best about remembering the cloth bags, but we do have them... they're in the car, but she forgets to bring them in the store.
You're a rockstar for making such an awesome video!

You guys did a super job w/that video!!! I would love to see it as a commercial or something to teach everyone how to be green. One thing I did notice - Puglet didn't pay for the bus ride - OOPS! Two "GREEN" thumbs up from us!!

That clinches it, I'm gonna just put it all out there...
Puglet, I love you. You are simply the most handsome ,talented, thoughtful, charasmatic, responsible pug I've ever known.
I think your video is the bomb, I'm having Mom share it with everyone she knows. You deserve a star on Hollywood Blvd!!
I will be thoughtful in all the choices I make regarding the planet. It will be easy, cuz I will always be thinking of you.
Big props to Dutch too for doing his part.
We can't forget a big shout out to Stubby, the most environmentally sound pug on earth, for his part! - April 15, 2010 at 12:16 PM

Aine here - YOU ROCK PUGLET! I think I need to go to the same training lessons as you - because I cant do the tricks you do!
- April 15, 2010 at 12:24 PM
Thanks, Puglet! We love your video. Our mom's all about being green, and she got very excited after watching it and sent the link to a bunch of people. Thanks for spreading the green word! We should try to be in some videos, then maybe we'd get more treats... yum!

Unbelievable. Seriously. This week I've tried to train my two pugs just to WALK in the general direction of the fish tank when I say "feed the fishes!" and it's been going nowhere. Puglet, you must be one of the smartest pugs around. Kudos to you and Dutch and your human person for putting this together - Bravo! Now, how can we get it nominated for an Oscar in the short-film documentary category??

Wow Puglet, that is amazing for reals! You are so smart and such a great actor. Brother Dutch did such a great job too. I hope you got some great treats for all that hard work. A pug's work is never done.
- April 15, 2010 at 4:33 PM
Wow Puglet, we are speechless. All I can do is "down" and "dance" and you can be sooo green! Mom is going to forward your video--- right--- now... Pug Hugs, Las Vegas Lola

Oh my goodness Puglet, you are one seriously talented pug! Looks, talent AND you have heart, but we already knew that. :D
I'm happy to say I've been recycling for 16 years now. Living in a dry country like Australia means I'm always conscious about water conservation and for three years I didn't even own a car and rode trains and my bike instead. Now if I could just get better about the plastic bags, I always forget my recycle ones, I'd be pretty happy. - April 15, 2010 at 6:10 PM

Awesomest video EVER!! My new human has posted it on her Facebook thingy and she's gonna email it to everyone else. She's really into the green thing. She does some kinda environmental testing stuff for work. I see her freak out over stuff like what kinda soap to use and produce to buy. She says that every little bit counts and that it's really hard to do EVERYTHING. People shouldn't get overwhelmed and just do what they can. You've become my pug hero! Thanks!

- April 15, 2010 at 7:30 PM
LOVE IT! Puglet, that was totally worth the wait. Thanks for letting us see it early. My human is going to be passing this around at work. You are super talented, and Dutch did a great job too.
Thanks for inspiring us!

Hey everypug!
I'm glad you liked my green video. You can kinda understand why my posts have been kind lame now, huh?
I've always been green at heart, but actually BEING green takes a little more work. It's not hard or anything. And you might get cookies :)
Oh - and we updated the video + link to one that is better quality. Same video - but you can see my cuteness better. - April 16, 2010 at 11:14 PM

Family of Carson Crimeni could not hold back tears as they spoke at the funeral service for the Langley teen.
The celebration of life at the Church of the Valley saw hundreds of people attend, including friends, family, Carson's hockey team, and his school community. They gathered to remember a teen whose life ended very publicly, as the moments before his death were filmed and posted online by people mocking him.
"He wanted nothing more than to be a good friend to people, and to have that friendship returned," said Carson's dad, Aron Crimeni.
It was a theme every speaker mentioned – Carson's sense of humour and infectious sense of fun and energy.
Aron remembered that even when Carson was very young, he would play pranks. One day when Aron closed the fridge door, Carson yelped as though his hand was trapped between the fridge and freezer doors, scaring his father.
"He had his hand in the space between the doors, and he just laughed," Aron said.
He loved hockey, playing the guitar, and video gaming while chatting to his friends, his father remembered.
While Aron admitted he wasn't much of a cook, often heading for the frozen food section of the grocery store, Carson had other ideas.
READ MORE: Carson: A death on social media
READ MORE: A wave of grief and outrage over death of teen in Langley park
"He would grab me by my arms and drag me to the meat aisle, promising he would cook me something, and he did," Aron said.
He loved the family cat Coco, wanted a dog, and planned to be a vet when he grew up, Aron said.
Every speaker mentioned Carson's big, joking personality and his energy.
"He had a huge heart," said Lisa Marie Fraser, vice-principal at Walnut Grove Secondary, where Carson had finished Grade 8 last June.
It was his desire to find friendship that many speakers at the service believe led indirectly to his death.
In the late afternoon of Aug. 7, near the Walnut Grove Skate Park, someone filmed Carson so inebriated he could barely stand or speak. People in the videos encouraged him to consume more pills.
He was found unconscious later that evening and was declared dead at hospital. Police are investigating the circumstances of his death and those involved in filming him.
"It hurts me to think of the pain my brother was in in the last hours of his life," said Bella Griffiths, Carson's older sister. "His life was taken, and he was just trying to fit in."
"I feel there's a real need for change to happen in our world, so this doesn't happen to some other child," said Chantell Griffiths, Carson's mother.
His aunt Diane Crimeni broke down when recounting that Carson had finally got to play with her puppy for the first time before his death.
When Fraser asked at Walnut Grove for staff who had some direct connection to Carson, there were 28 members who spoke up.
"Carson's character is a testament to the love, support, and guidance from his family," she said.
"The loss to our community is great," she said.
Several speakers mentioned the need for the community to come together to prevent any other tragedies like Carson's death in the future.
Aron, who had trouble composing himself as he spoke, said Carson was the one who brought his whole family closer together.
"I just want to say to my son, thank you for being my best friend, and my closest friend," Aron said.
Since Carson's death, an outpouring of grief has come from the community. A petition calling for justice has racked up thousands of signatures, and an impromptu memorial of flowers, candles, and stuffed animals has been created at the Walnut Grove Skate Park.
The Independent Investigations Office is looking into police actions on the night of Carson's death, after the first police officers to respond to a 911 call, sparked by social media posts, failed to find the boy. He was found about an hour and a half to two hours later after a second call.

That's right, you can ask just about anyone that is related to us or frequents our abode. Our laundry room used to be a pit filled to the brim with laundry. Either the laundry room or the bedroom. Or both.
It's been such a thorn in my side, but I have been experimenting a bit and we have finally found a solution that is working well for us. Are we always caught up on laundry? Nope. But almost always. Here are a couple of tips I have learned along the way:
- Simplify your wardrobe. When we paired down our clothing supply for our dressing room wardrobes, we also reduced the amount of laundry that could pile up before needing to wash items.
- Make it easy for kids to put away their own clothes. About two years ago I set an expectation that my kids take ownership of putting away their laundry. It's important to make it easy for them to do so. Whether labeling their drawers or their closet bins, a simple system is key.
- Don't sort everything. I used to sort down everything. I tried it every which way. By person. By color. By type. All that sorting and categorizing was allowing the piles to build and build and then playing catchup took all day. Now, we only sort delicate pieces, whites and linens. The rest gets washed together.
- Create a system. Instead of letting the laundry pile, we have a goal to empty everyone's hamper once a day. Yep, you heard it right. The kid's share a dirty clothes bin and the hubs and I have two {one in our dressing room and one in the bathroom}. Each night, the clothes are gathered from all and sorted into one of the three categories mentioned above: delicate, whites or linens. If it's not any of those items, into the washing machine it goes. Once the laundry machine is full, it gets run. Then, one day of the week is dedicated to those other "special" categories.
- Be aware of washing frequency. Call me gross, but we wear our jeans two to three times before they get washed. Just jeans. I don't know why, but that's how I was raised and now how I have been raising my babes. {And apparently there is something to it; it extends the life of the jean, you have to wash less often and it saves more water}. Linens are washed once per week {towels and bedding}.
The whole point of today's post was to share a little laundry room switcharoo that we made, but since it was based on our newer system, I thought I would give you the back story first to make more sense of the project.
We started out by using some cheapo old white laundry baskets for sorting in our laundry room.
But the bins were too small for our linens and whites. And we missed having the hamper in the bathroom. So back to the larger cheapo plastic baskets we went until a better solution came along.
I scoured shops and the web for a prettier yet effective option. It seemed as though majority of the sorters were far too small and pricey! And the super nice ones like we have in our bathroom {same one shown above}, are really really pricey, especially when you up the capacity. And when I say pricey, I was looking at anywhere from $60-$200 pricey. When did laundry sorters get so expensive? When I don't find what I want or what makes sense, then I wait. Which I did until a happy day came that I saw Crate and Barrel was having a sale and free shipping, so I snagged up two of these.
The right size, the right color, easy to tote around. Not super fabulous cheap, but cheap enough for me to finally take the plunge.
I love that the turquoise works so well with my adjoining studio workspace. Not to mention that they fit so well and are much more concealing and streamlined than the white "holey" plastic option we were sporting previously.
Then, "Jen" mode kicked in. What more could I do to these puppies? They need to be labeled!
Thank you Silhouette! You make this fun once again!
Using the same process as I did when I labeled the boy's canvas closet bins, I had the Silhouette cut some white flocking heat transfer.
And used some scrap fabric to protect the iron while transferring the labels:
It's important to be patient at this point. The letters didn't want to adhere to the canvas all that well. They put up a fight. But after just continuing to heat the transfer material and letting it cool before peeling away the backing, it was a lovely finished product!
Sometimes, it's the small touches that make all the difference. And I love that there will be no more questions when sorting.
Before and after for fun?
Extra things to note:
- The font I used is Sofia font. Love it!
- We use the towel bar to dry our sweaters. But we have really been lacking in any good hanging system for drying other pieces. We have a plan in the works, so stay tuned!
Let's stop avoiding laundry and make a pact to learn to love it. Ha, kidding. But for realz, what is working well for you? What's not?

Haha, you may be right about prime Hop vs. Roy, but we will never know and it is strictly speculation/opinion at this point. Both were great fighters in their primes and their competition with each other likely pushed them to greater heights/historical achievements.
Oops, my mistake. Should have known it was IBF but all those jokers are pretty indistinguishable from each other.
Not only is walrus openly white, but he is openly gay as well. He may be having something with p4pking.
It's true though. ������
Merry Christmas to you too. I don't know how to do the reputation comments so I'm just messaging it to you.
Merry christmas Master and a happy new year, hope 2016 treat you we'll!

Hey master I got a like notification to "I think my identity was stolen" but didn't post on the thread. In fact I haven't been active for weeks now.

10 Frogs Handsome Enough to Kiss
While researching our post The 10 Weirdest and Most Unusual Frogs on Earth , we found so many beautiful frogs we decided to give them their own post. Below are 10 of the handsomest princes of the amphibian world.
1. Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychis callidryas)
This frog might be called The Planet's Most Beautiful Frog. It has been a pin-up on dozens of wildlife calendars and cards. But its beauty has a purpose—to help it to survive. When at rest, the frog's eyes are closed. But if disturbed, the sudden appearance of its bright red eyes may startle a predator for a second or two—enough time for the frog to leap away. With its large toe pads and long thin limbs, it can climb trees easily. The Red-Eyed Tree Frog lives in tropical forests from southern Mexico through much of Central America. We used this frog on a poster we created to help spread awareness of the global amphibian crisis (you can download the poster for free):
2. Golden toad (Bufo periglenes)
The Golden Toad became extinct 30 years after its discovery in 1976. They were found only in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve of Costa Rica, where hundreds would breed in shallow forest pools. The Golden Toad has become a symbol of the plight of frogs and toads worldwide—we don't want other amphibians to suffer the same fate as this beautiful creature.
3. White's tree frog (Litoria caerula)
These handsome frogs seem to have a perpetual smile on their faces. White's tree frogs are often kept as pets, but they are happiest when left alone in their native home: the woodland and scrub close to water in northeast Australia and New Guinea.
4. Strawberry poison dart frog (Dendrobates pumilio)
This frog has a bright red head and body speckled with black spots. Because of its blue legs, it is also called the Blue Jeans Frog. Like many brilliantly-colored animals, the frogs' bright color serves as a warning—Don't eat me or you'll be sorry! It forages on the forest floor eating small ants and termites, from which it derives the chemicals needed to synthesize the poison. It lives in tropical rainforests of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
5. Ranitomeya amazonica
A recent report from the World Wildlife Fund highlighted the amazing discoveries of the past decade in the Amazonian biome. According to the report, between 1999 and 2009 more than 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates were discovered in the Amazon – a rate of one new species every three days – confirming the Amazon as one of the most diverse places on Earth. Ranitomeya amazonica, another beautiful poision dart frog , is one of the most extraordinary of these newly discovered species. Its main habitat is lowland moist forest near the Iquitos area in Peru.
6. Malagasy Rainbow Frog (Scaphiophryne gottlebei)
One of the most beautiful of the Madagascan frogs, the Malagasy Rainbow Frog is adapted for a burrowing lifestyle. It is able to live under the ground for up to 10 months. But it also has claws on its forefeet to help it cling to vertical canyon walls to escape floods or predators. Unfortunately thousands of these frogs are captured every year for the pet trade.
7. Venezuelan Glass Frog (Cochranella helenae)
This lovely frog, native to the subtropical or tropical most lowland forests and rivers of Venezuela has translucent skin, to help hide it among the leaves.
8. Tiger frog (Hyloscritus tigrinis)
The Tiger Frog was discovered in 2007 in Southwestern Colombian. Little is known about the frog except that it is not believed to be toxic. Rather with its bright coloring, the frog seems to be mimicking other poisonous animals to deter predators. This gorgeous frog is threatened by destruction of the forests where it lives.
9. Harlequin frogs (Atelopus varius)
Harlequin frogs are usually black or brown with spots or streaks that can be a combination of yellow, orange, red, blue, or green. They live in the moist, tropical forests in Central and southwestern South America. About two-thirds of over 110 species of these brightly-colored frogs have vanished since the 1980s. Their decline is attributed to the destruction of their native forests, collection by the pet trade, and fungal infection (chytrid fungus).
10. Wood Frog (Rana sylvatica)
The Wood Frog's beauty is more subtle that that of its tropical cousins, yet its colors seems to mimic the color of rocks, bark, and fallen leaves in the forests in which it lives. This frog is America's most northernmost species, ranging from northeast USA to the Arctic Circle in Alaska and Canada. Wood Frogs have already begun hibernating. First they find a place under the leaf litter or in a crack in a log or rock to settle for their winter nap. They'll slowly begin to freeze as soon as temperatures reach the freezing point. Then the frog's blood will stop flowing, its lungs, heart and muscles will stop functioning, and ice will fill the body cavity: they will go from frog to frogsicle, until they begin to thaw in the warm temperatures of spring.
Some of the information from this post came from Frogs and Toads (a Golden Guide) by Dave Showler, illustrated by Barry Croucher/Wildlife Art Ltd.

Today I am excited to be taking part in Melissa Collins' cover reveal for her book Let Love In
Here it is!
(Cover design © Arijana Karčić, Cover It! Designs)
Isn't it purty???
Title: Let Love Stay
Author: Melissa Collins
Expected Publication Date: July 31, 2013
Title: Let Love Stay
Author: Melissa Collins
Expected Publication Date: July 31, 2013
If you're lucky, you'll fall in love – truly, madly and deeply in love. But what happens when that honest and pure love isn't enough to erase your fears? What happens when your past rears its ugly head and threatens your future?
Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love. Then life happened. Old wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light.
Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need to heal on their own before they can ever be together again. They must face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way through this crazy uphill battle called love.
They've let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay.
Full Wrap!
I get out of the truck and walk over towards the two of them. Maddy's back is to me as I approach her and her date, so she doesn't see me right away. But once the guy sees me, she spins around to look at what has caught his eye.
Her face is shocked and when our eyes lock, my heart skips a beat. There's a pull between us. As much as I hate to admit it, she owns me. Her eyes are magical. They dance with light and passion and when she looks at me, they are filled with love.
The love and passion that are sparkling in her emerald green eyes evaporate when she realizes the scene that I've just stumbled upon. I can only imagine what's going through her mind, but I'm sure the images of me kicking Logan's ass are flashing vividly through her mind.
I'm no more than a few feet from them when the guy pushes Maddy behind him to protect her from what he perceives as a threat. He's not very far from the truth, but she's not the one who needs protecting.
Menacingly close now, he pipes up. "Who the fuck are you? What do you want?" Okay, I'll give the prick a little bit of credit for trying to stand up to me, but he has no clue what he's competing against here.
The caveman in me wants to deck this guy and drag Maddy into a bed – any bed – and claim her, repeatedly, until she understands that she's mine and no one else's. I'm going to do that anyway, but hopefully I can refrain from knocking this guy on his ass. I'd like to have the use of my hands tonight.
My eyes never leave Maddy's, but my words are directed at him. "Me? I'm the boyfriend, asshole." Maddy's eyes widen slightly as I say "boyfriend." Did she really think we ever broke up?
I avert my gaze from Maddy for a minute to stare this douchebag down. "And who the fuck do you think you are?" He falters, not enough that most people would notice, but I'm in predator mode. I see his throat work hard to swallow past the newly formed fear. His pupils dilate slightly and the pulse beating in his neck picks up as adrenaline surges through him. If he thinks he's going to win this battle, he is wrong – so fucking wrong.
He puffs out his chest as he says, "I'm Maddy's date for tonight." He snickers lightly as he says, "You know? She never mentioned a boyfriend when I asked her out. Must not be much of a boyfriend if she doesn't even mention you." He swells with pride at his snarky little quip. In the split second he looks away from me to gauge Maddy's approval, I lay him flat on the ground as I drop my shoulder into his gut and take his legs out from underneath him with one of my own. I freaking love my takedown skills. I didn't even have to bust up my hands. I'm definitely going to need them in a little bit.
I straddle over him and pull him up by the collar. "Whether she mentioned me or not, she's mine, so lay the fuck off. Got it?"
Maddy still hasn't said a word and I haven't actually spoken directly to her. I'm pretty sure she understands my actions though. Wordlessly, I reach my hand out to her. This is her chance. If she still wants me, then she'll come with me. This is who I am, who I've always been. If she can't understand that I love her, that I want her more than anything, then it's not because I haven't tried as hard as I possibly could to prove it to her.
Hand still outstretched, I look her directly in the eyes, as I try to convey everything that I'm thinking, that I'm feeling. In what feels like an act of God, she understands me and laces her hand in mine.
Author Bio:
I've always been an avid reader. Majoring in English Literature was a no brainer. Becoming a teacher and instilling my love for reading into my students was also a no brainer. I've spent the last ten years teaching and I've loved (mostly) every minute of it. When I was home on maternity leave for my third son, I discovered a new genre that sparked my creativity. My passion for writing sprang from my love of reading and once I knew I had a story to tell, I couldn't wait to get it out there. I only hope that my readers enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It appears the Dodgers have finally made their first real move of winter. According to Ken Rosenthal on twitter, the Dodgers have just signed free agent starting pitcher Dan Haren to a 1-year contract.
Sources: Haren to #Dodgers, one year, $10M plus 2015 option that vests at 180 innings. Pending physical.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 25, 2013
Considering our need for another arm in the starting rotation, he just might fill the bill. Josh Beckett is expected to be ready for Spring, so Haren should be a good option as our #5 pitcher. He isn't going to wow you on the mound, but should provide some good innings.
Haren missed just over two weeks with right shoulder inflammation in '13, but returned to produce 3.29 ERA in last 15 starts for #Nationals.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) November 25, 2013
I like that it's a short term deal. If Beckett or Billingsley are unable to come back, then Haren will be the kind of insurance we'll need to survive a long season. Additionally, this may just be an opening move by the Dodgers. They have been closely linked to the up-coming auction for ace Japanese starter Masahiro Tanaka. If the Dodgers win his services, then we'll see quite a battle for the final spot.
As it stands right now, the Dodgers have the following rotation (depth chart):
- Clayton Kershaw
- Zack Greinke
- Hyu-Jin Ryu
- Josh Beckett
- Dan Haren
- Chad Billingsley (will return severals weeks into the season)
- Matt Magill
- Stephen Fife
