Chivas stayed down "Mkay. I'll prolly be tanning, so yeah. Yo no se." Jenny snorted and said "Now if you were todos mexicano..." Chivas muttered "Shut up. I'mma fourth messcin! Close 'nuff! But I still gotta work on my half Latino tan." She rolled her little sleeves of her tshirt up and shifted to her back, laying her arms out.4/21/2010 #2,971
Gwen smiled as she took off jogging down the path, her long golden pony tale sweeping her back and kissing each shoulder blade. Her body moved with a grace that was nonetheless eye catching as it was elegant. The only sound was the blood pumping in her veins, the pounding of her feet on the hard pavement and the steady rhythm of her music.4/21/2010 #2,972
Jenny watched Gwen jog off, then looked back down at get homework. She said, as she worked a geometry problem, "She's pretty, Luna seems pretty lucky." She sighed, then Chivas mentioned to Jenny "They aren't actually saliendo (going out) yet, you know." She sat up again, brown hair sparkling in the sun, eyes many shades lighter due to the light, and asked Jenny "I thought you liked Fito anyways..?!" Jenny shrugged as Kim snorted in laughter. Chivas smiled a milky white smile, "Just playin'. But yeah, he'll be pretty lucky with that girl as his soon-to-be novia. Much prettier than me. If only i were a blonde. Then I'd be pretty to catch boy's eyes in Ahmaryca (America)" She sighed and laid back down.4/22/2010 #2,973
Rounding the corner, her skin glistening in the sun, it was obvious she had enjoyed a long hard run. The smile on her face beamed with a satisfaction she had only been able to achieve after a good run. Slowing down near the others, Gwen did a few stretches to cool down and stretch out her muscles. Walking slowly back towards Chivas and her friends she flopped down on the grass, panting softly, the smile never wavering.
"I love running!"4/22/2010 #2,974
Chivas laughed lightly, then sat up, saying "I need to get back on my boxing practice. I've been procrastinating. When Rodolfo gets back I'll get him to help me practice." She sighed, then asked the other girls, whom had been at the school a bit longer, "Do they have a boxing team here o no?" Jenny looked up from her work when Chivas mentioned Rodolfo, and Kim was real absorbed in her book.4/22/2010 #2,975
Gwen closed her eyes, panting softly as her heart rate slowed. "I think they do, you'd have to check with the phys-ed department. I know they do for guys, not sure if they open it for girls."4/22/2010 #2,976
"Ahh okay. I bet I could whoop them boy's butt like I did when I was in E-- elementary school. In 5th grade. Yeah." She tried not to mention Eagle Pass, or her real name, in case the people in Eagle Pass figured out it was her who led the destruction on the city's oldest and respected building, and accidentally in the process killing a few innocents, one being her best friend. If the city found out, I'd be all over the news, which Chivas did NOT want. She sighed and laid back on her back. Just then, Angel came back with his cousin, Sancho.4/22/2010 . Edited 4/22/2010 #2,977
Gwen smiled brightly, her eyes still closed as she lay soaking up the sun and recovering from her run. "I'd like to see that. I'd cheer you on, might even break out some pom poms"4/22/2010 #2,978
Chivas laughed, then saw Sancho and Angel. "Im pretty ninja like too!" She got up and sneaked up behind who she thought was Sancho. Since she was on the ledge, from up the stairs, all she had to do was jump down onto his back. She creeped up and then lept onto his back "Arrg Santino!!" Only a few seconds and a "Whaaa..?" from the guy, Chivas realized it was Angel. She laughed a "Sorry!!" then got off his back. Sancho walked up, next to his cousin.4/22/2010 #2,979
The sound of excited voices caught Gwen's attention as she opened her eyes to see what was going on. Instantly blushing when she noted Angel. Why, why, why didn't she change out of her work out clothes? She was sure she looked a mess.4/22/2010 #2,980
Coming back from common room
"Yeah, yeah," Aaron chuckled. "I'd admit those buggers ain't too charming."4/22/2010 #2,981
"Not the nicest thing to find crawling around my leg" Sam shuddered at the memory. She placed her head on his shoulder and sighed "I'm glad you were there to step in and be my hero"4/22/2010 #2,982
Aaron rested his head on top of Sam's. "You know I'd protect you from the cricket horde."
((I think that's my last post. I'm seriously passing out. Good night.))4/22/2010 #2,983
"What about spiders and snakes?" Sam asked with a tiny giggle.
((ok, hope you stay a sleep this time and get a good nights rest. Night Foxy))4/22/2010 #2,984
Chivas then ran over to Sancho and put her fists up in a boxing postition. He mirrored her and they started faux boxing. But even it being fake, Chivas was pretty good. Angel walked over and looked over Gwen "Tu corriste eh?" He smiled, offering a hand to help her up. Jenny and Kim looked up, Kim saying light-heartedly "We ain't gonna get nothing done if y'all keep coming over!" She smiled.4/22/2010 #2,985
Gwen took the offered hand, confused as to what he was saying. "Sorry? I.. I don't understand."4/22/2010 #2,986
"Dont over think," Angel pulled her up, muscles tensing under a nicely tanned body, "I asked if you went for a run. But I already know you have." He walked over and sat near Jenny and Kimberly. Sandro somehow had Chivas in some wrestling lock, where he locked her arms against him, keeping her from punching, therefore the boxing had stopped. Chivas was in a good mood, giggling sweetly as she struggled to get out of the hold. "Lemme go!" She demanded, smiling wide. To anyone who didn't know her personally, she seemed innocent, naïve, and sweet. All part of her charade to keep her past hidden.4/22/2010 #2,987
Gwen smiled, not sure what she was suppose to do now that she was standing. Angel confused her, to be fair, guys in general did a good job at that. Her mind whirled with questions. Why help her up then walk away? Feeling awkward and slightly annoyed as she had been enjoying the sun warming her skin. Gwen moved towards the stairs. "I should change I suppose" her voice soft, more talking to herself than anyone else.4/22/2010 #2,988
Angel said to Gwen "Ay! No. Stay out here. You look fine." He pointed to a spot in his little bunch "Centense! (Sit!)" He smiled. Sandro still had Chivas, but her accidentally hit her bad ankle. She snapped "AY! SANTINO!" and yanked out of his grip. She sat where she was in the grass, and massaged her ankle.4/22/2010 #2,989
"I'm sweaty" Gwen complained as she took the spot he had indicated. Looking over at Chivas with concern.4/22/2010 #2,990
Sandro squatted down to get on Chivas' level. He kept apologizing, and she kept reasurring she was okay. Angel looked at Gwen "My hair's a mess, and I'm kinda sweaty, but I'm still here!" He smiled sweetly.4/22/2010 #2,991
"That's different" Gwen replied as she turned her attention back to Angel. " You look good.. um, fine... I mean...um. It looks alright on a guy" Stumbling over her words, a pink tinted her cheeks as she looked down at her fingers nervously entwined together.4/22/2010 #2,992
Angel laughed, more to shake off awkwardness. Jenny leaned over to Kimberly and whispered, in Spanish "Ay. See. She's blushing! How cute." ((IDK how to say it in Spanish)) Angel gave Jenny a glare, then said to Gwen "Im sure chica. I bet it looks like bedhead with and Alfalfa hair stickin up in tha back." He smiled and stuck a finger behind his head to imitate the hair.4/22/2010 #2,993
"Fine, you need a shower" Gwen replied smiling shyly. Looking over at Chivas still on the ground, Gwen added "maybe you should see if she's alright."4/22/2010 #2,994
Jenny nodded heavily with Gwen's first comment. Angel chuckled, and looked over at Chivas. He got up and walked over, and Chivas, for the 10th time, said "No Luna. I'm fine. Santino here just hit the wrong spot. I'll be fine." Angel looked at her in a stern, 'tell tha truth' look.4/22/2010 #2,995
Gwen looked away into the landscape, focusing on nothing. "Maybe I will go change after all, I think I need a shower myself" She commented to Jenny with a soft shrug.4/22/2010 #2,996
Jenny shrugged "Your choice not mine." she stated bluntly before returning to finishing her homework. Angel, thinking Chivas needed rest, picked her up bridal style. She gasped "Ay!! No!!! Don't take me inside!! NOT THE AC!! AY!" He sighed and walked and set her down where she was orginally laying to tan.4/22/2010 #2,997
Gwen watched Angel with Chivas, and for the first time it occurred to her. Angel liked Chivas, much more than a friend. Swallowing her heart break, Gwen instantly began wondering why she was once again being looked over. Whether it was a mixture of shock, sadness and lack of sleep, she would never know just what it was that made her ask the question that had been flashing in her mind like a giant red flag.
"He likes her, doesn't he?" Gwen spoke aloud her thoughts, closing her eyes when she realized the others must of heard.4/22/2010 #2,998
Angel haddnt heard, but heard Sandro's phone go off. Sandro picked up, and motioned for Angel to follow as he talked, as if angel needed to talk too. The cousins walked off. Jenny was obsessed with finishing a hard question, tuning out the world, as did Kimberly, who was reading. Chivas sat up, and cocked her head at Gwen "Angel? No. Not me. He's only makin sure I'm not too scratched up when my cousin gets back. If I was, fito would yell at angel for not keeping me safe, I guess. And really, what's there to see in me? You is much more prettier que yo." Chivas sighed. She was now confused, and longed for Fito to help explain maybe something.4/22/2010 #2,999
Gwen shook her head "I think you might be wrong Chivas. Look, I'm sorry, I didn't know you two had feelings for each other" Standing up suddenly feeling she needed to be anywhere but with them, Gwen gave another weak smile. "I've got to go. I'll.. see you around." Not waiting to hear another word, Gwen took off at a run, taking the stairs two at a time, and headed back to the girls dorms. It would be during her shower that she would let the sting of disappointment get to her. After all, no one can see you cry there.4/22/2010 #3,000

Georgian Leader Signs a Ceasefire But Russia Continues to Ramp Up Pressure
By Liam Creedon; Sam Marsden
GEORGIA'S president Mikhail Saakashvili said today he has signed a ceasefire agreement in the presence of French and Finnish foreign ministers acting as witnesses.Earlier, Britain condemned Russian attacks deep into Georgian territory as "deplorable" amid fading hopes of an early end to the conflict.
The prospects of peace had also been cast in doubt today after Russia launched air strikes on the Georgian capital Tbilisi and its navy sank a Georgian boat in the Black Sea.
Meanwhile, Moscow accused Georgian forces of firing on Russian troops in the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali.
Britain's Europe Minister Jim Murphy said Russia's military action was "deplorable".
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The fact that Russia is now going even beyond Abkhazia and South Ossetia, bombing sites near to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, the fact that Russia has mobilised at least part of the Black Sea fleet off the coast of Georgia is entirely deplorable Russian military behaviour. There cannot be a military solution to this, it is absolutely clear."
Diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the crisis were continuing today with a conference call between foreign ministers from the G7 countries - the G8 minus Russia.
This will be followed by an emergency meeting of all 27 EU countries in Brussels on Wednesday.
Mr Murphy said the aim was to maximise diplomatic pressure on Russia.
Downing Street has urged Russia and Georgia to agree to an "immediate" ceasefire and Prime Minister Gordon Brown discussed the situation with international heads of state over the weekend.
A senior Georgian diplomat insisted today that his country's forces had ceased fighting in South Ossetia.
Georgi Bardidze, Georgia's charge d'affaires in London, told Today: "We have stopped military action, which was actually conducted in response to the military aggression started first by the proxies and then evolved into direct military aggression against Georgia from Russia."
He said Russian forces were continuing hostilities despite the Georgian ceasefire.
The conflict began on Friday when Georgia launched a large-scale military operation to retake South Ossetia, which has had de facto independence since 1992.
Russian troops moved into the province in response, leaving the region teetering on the brink of all-out war.
Thousands of civilians have fled the fighting and Moscow claims that 2,000 people - mostly Ossetians with Russian passports - have been killed.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office responded to the rapid escalation in violence by advising all Britons to leave Georgia if possible.
Russian fighter jets launched raids on Georgian territory today, striking a radar installation on the outskirts of Tbilisi, an airfield and the Black Sea port of Poti, Georgian officials said. Moscow said the attacks were aimed at supply lines and military facilities and not directed at civilians.
A Russian general issued an ultimatum ordering Georgian troops near Abkhazia, another breakaway province, to disarm or face Russian forces.
The pressure on Georgia was ramped up over the weekend after the Russian Navy reportedly deployed ships to blockade Georgia's Black Sea coast.
Then separatist authorities in Abkhazia declared military mobilisation, with the region's president Sergei Bagpash warning that his troops would drive Georgian forces from the area.
Russia has demanded that Georgia pull out its troops from South Ossetia as a condition to negotiate a ceasefire.
It also urged Georgia to sign a pledge not to use force against South Ossetia as another condition for ending hostilities.

Battlefield (SSBM)
Battlefield (戦場, Battlefield) is a special stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Several battles in single-player modes are fought here:
Stage layout[edit]
Battlefield's main platform is flat, just like Final Destination, but not as long. Three smaller platforms are suspended in a pyramid pattern above the main platform. It shares cosmetic similarities to Final Destination in that the background is abstract and changes shape and color constantly.
Recovery on this stage is considered difficult for many characters due to the very thin edges on either end: if a player misses the edge with a vertically aimed up special move, they will end up underneath the stage and likely get KOed. It is more difficult to sweet spot the edge using characters such as Marth and Fox on this stage compared to other similar stages. There is one exception to this: with Falco, and more difficultly with Fox, it is possible to platform cancel Falco Phantasm/Fox Illusion move on one of the bottom platforms. Then, the player can choose to immediately phantasm to the next platform, which also platform cancels.
Battlefield is also infamous for its "glitchy" edges. It is said that, unlike other stages, if players attempt to sweet spot the ledge and hold toward the ledge as they do so, they may often miss the ledge when it clearly appears they should have been able to grab it. For example, it is possible for Peach to be floating within the edge grab range, but then not grab the edge and simply plummet after she stops floating. Also, there have been cases where "miracle ledge grabs" have been performed in cases where it did not appear as if the character should have survived. There is a "magic pixel" that, if Fox or Falco use their up-b moves directly into, they will auto-sweetspot the ledge, similar to the default mechanic in Brawl and Wii U/3DS.
Also, there is a technique that allows Captain Falcon to sweet-spot the ledge almost immediately after starting his Falcon Dive move, if he is in a specific area of the stage, somewhere between the ledge and the ceiling underneath. It is, however, extremely difficult to perform and thus is not considered practical in most situations. A demonstration and in-depth explanation can be seen in this video. A similar situation happens when Fox's Fire Fox or Falco's Fire Bird are aimed at a perfect 45 degree angle towards the ledge.
Tournament legality[edit]
Because of its simple layout, Battlefield has been a tournament legal stage throughout all of Melee's tournament history, outside of Final Destination-only tournaments held early in the game's life. It is often considered the most neutral stage by professionals, as its geometry and platform layout do not give many significant matchup-specific advantages in the majority of singles matches, though its ledges can be problematic. As such, in tournament play, Battlefield is often the first stage that two players strike to.
Trophy information[edit]
The Battlefield trophy is unlocked alongside the stage itself by clearing All-Star Mode with any character on any difficulty.

The holiday season means busy malls and shopping centers each year, but another busy business from Thanksgiving through Christmas each year is the United States Postal Service.
During the holidays, millions of United States residents send out holiday greetings cards, packages and other parcels.
In Clermont County, lines stretched out the door at some post offices, and parking lots remained full, especially in the weeks leading up to Christmas day.
"Between Thanksgiving and New Year's we expect to see 17.9 billion cards, letters and packages," David Van Allen, media spokesman for the United States Postal Service, said.
Van Allen said on an average day the United States Postal Service processes 528 million pieces of mail. He said during the holidays they process about 48 million more pieces per day.
"It's about a 20 percent increase in packaging during the holidays," Van Allen said. "With everyone ordering online it has contributed to a big bump."
RaeJean Boggs, officer in charge at the Bethel Post Office, said they have seen this bump in their post office.
"What I've noticed is customers are ordering online and then they ship to themselves and then they turn around and ship out to their family," Boggs said. "The package volume has definitely increased."
Boggs said the post office has been almost overwhelmingly busy this holiday season.
"Our busiest at our front counter is Monday," Boggs said the Thursday before Christmas. "But it has not slowed down yet. Even today there are people like crazy mailing these packages."
Boggs said in the back, mail volume began increasing just before Thanksgiving with companies sending out catalogs and advertisements.
She said the amount of Christmas cards they have sent leading up to Christmas this year has been "astronomical."
"People have been bringing in hundreds of cards at a time," Boggs said. "It's been great for us."
Residents who come to the post office said they enjoy sending mail and packages during the holidays each year.
"I send Christmas cards, the traditional cards, in the mail," Norma Kirby, of New Richmond said. "It's a good way to keep in touch with people you don't see."
Brenda Murray, of Bethel, said she sends cards as well as packages.
"I have a son in Utah, I send all their gifts," Murray said.
Murray said she always sends cards and packages each year even with technology that allows for quicker communication.
"Tradition does go on, it is a fact," Murray said about Christmas mail.
She said the reason she prefers using the post office to send mail during the holidays is because of tradition, and the fact that she can easily sent things to her loved ones.
Boggs said many people definitely still love sending things through the mail during the holidays.
"Everyone still seems to be in the spirit," Boggs said."Everyone in here has said this is more packages than we've seen in any year. It's fantastic."

I know there are a lot of you who are probably doubting God and doubting yourself right now. I want to encourage you all to keep holding on. Don't give up, because your time for increase is coming. Please understand God is constantly moving and constantly working and that he is ALL knowing. God has a plan for us all. "Worldly" standards of where we are supposed to be in life and what we're supposed to be doing at a certain age, and how race and backgrounds play into it are not the same standards that God has for us. WE need to all learn to trust GODS timing and HIS plan for our lives not our own timing or the timetable set by society. When God says that your ready you're ready, when He says it's time, it's time, when He says go, go, not your will, not your time, or anyone else's. He knows all, not you. Trust in Him. A lot of us are questioning God at this particular point in our life and wondering is He hearing us and wondering why we aren't increasing and moving up in life at the rate we feel like we should be. WE get so focused on the FUTURE, (myself included) and start looking 10 steps ahead and we lose sight of what is right in front of us. WE need to all understand that to move forward in life we have to be FAITHFUL where we are and with what we have NOW. Make no mistake about it, God desires to move us up in life but He won't move us up in life if He sees that we aren't faithful with what we currently have. God needs to KNOW that if He moves you up to the next step in your life that you won't dip out on Him. (This comes from building a healthy and strong relationship with God.)I had been praying and asking God to bless me with job for like a month and some change because I was broke as a joke. I felt like it was definitely time for me to have a job and a steady income but God knew that I was not ready at that moment. He knew that I wasn't ready for more money and a steady income at that point in my life because the little bit of money that He was blessing me with I was only using to get high…So He knew and I knew that if I was getting a steady income at that stage of my life the amount of drugs I was buying was only going to increase. So He waited until He could trust me before blessing me with a job. It took some time, a lot longer than I would have liked but in the end I know it all worked out for my good. God's timing is always perfect; no it may not always line up with OUR personal time table but it is still perfect! It really showed me that God is never late, He is ALWAYS on time. The same goes for you. Be faithful where you are now. Faithful at your job, in your relationship, in your studying, in your practicing, whatever it is that you've got going on in life be faithful NOW and take care of business NOW before you start looking deep into the future. Do everything with excellence now with whatever you've got and put God 1st. Let your ACTIONS, THOUGHTS, and WORDS show and prove that once God blesses you and gives you the increase you've been praying for that you and Gods relationship will get better and stronger and not weaker. Put it in is His hands, ask for everything to be done on HIS time. God knows exactly what He's doing and He knows exactly when to move us up. I know there are a lot of us, myself included who feel like we should be living out our dreams and that we're ready for the" big leagues" NOW but we need to understand that God has everything under control. WE have to learn to sit back and be patient. WE need to understand God is moving in us. He is constantly molding and shaping us and that He's just working out some kinks right now. God understands that there's still a lot that we need to learn and go through before we can go any further so that once we do arrive at that next level we will be fully prepared and can be productive! Pray for patience, pray for HIS will to be done in your life. Trust God and His timing. Keep dreaming big, and don't let the world or the haters and naysayers get to you. Don't doubt God and don't give up on Him or yourself. Understand God can do things that the world deems "impossible". Prime example of someone with haters was David. When he went out to fight Goliath people were telling him he was too young, too small, too this , too that but David had faith in GOD and knew that he would deliver him from Goliath, and that is exactly what happened. He didn't listen to the haters and the naysayers and not go fight because of what they said; he followed GOD and trusted him. Don't let them get to you. Trust GOD, put your faith in Christ, walk with Him, submit to Him and His word, and trust His perfect timing. So what if it's taking a little longer than you thought, just know that if it's in GODS hand and you're asking for His will to be done and according to His time that it will be that much sweeter. This is not the time to give up or throw in the towel. This is the time to work harder and go harder than you ever have in whatever you're pursing and especially your relationship with God. Your breakthrough and increase are coming, you just need to submit to God and trust HIS timing and His plan for you.
Let me put some Word on it:
Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.They will run and not grow weary.They will walk and not faint.
- Ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
- Galatians 6:9 So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
- Ecclesiastes 3:11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
- Psalm 37: 3-4 (3) Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires

Mary Sue - Poem by Francis Duggan
Old Mary Sue who lives by the rail crossing
She will be seventy on her next birthday
In her hair she doesn't use tints dyes or colours
And she is not ashamed to show her gray.
Her only offspring Linda lives in Adelaide
At Largs Bay just a short walk from the sea
A thirty seven year old single mother
Her daughter will be twelve in January.
Old Mary seldom see her daughter and grand daughter
I see them every second year she say
And though they phone me every second week now
Still Adelaide seems a long journey away.
Yes Adelaide is nine hundred K's from Cranbourne
And she only wish that they were living near
But then she adds not much point in complaining
At least I see them every second year.
If Mary Sue would write her autobiography
The book on her life would make a great read
Fifteen years ago she joined the Salvation Army
To devote her life to those who are in need.
The only offspring of abusive parents
She was a street kid when she was fourteen
But you will never even hear her mention
Of her younger years and the hard times she has seen.
A pimp who preyed on street kids gave her shelter
She worked in his brothel as an under age prostitute
To say she was abused and treated badly
Would only be stating the obvious truth.
She escaped from the brothel three or four years later
And she got a job in a shoe factory
And for the first time in her young life she felt happy
And she had control of her destiny.
She fell in love with Joe a fellow worker
And he is her daughter's father it is said
But Joe deceived her by keeping from her his secret
He never told poor Mary he was wed.
He went back to his wife most married men do
And left Mary with the baby on her own
Why should she want to talk about her young years
And all the disappointments she has known
A fund raiser for the Salvation Army
And for those in need all her time she devote
And the story of her life would make a good read
Though such a book unlikely to be wrote.

All Kinds of Ways to Celebrate Earth Day
In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman is told, "Plastics."
For Earth Day, BevMo says, "Cork."
On April 16, the wine, beer and distilled spirits retailer announced that, starting April 22, its 115 stores will recycle used corks.
Cork has been a "mainstay of wine for more than 400 years," BevMo says in its press release.
The corks BevMo customers collect and contribute during the one-month the promotion lasts willed be delivered to SOLE, a Vancouver footwear maker who will convert wine-soaked cylinders into flip-flops.
"Stylish" flip-flops, BevMo insists.
The press release is silent as to how the cork is transported to British Columbia.
(A fleet of electric cars? If the company uses more traditional means like diesel trucks, rail car or airfreight, presumably scads of carbon offsets will be purchased.)
"Natural cork is a fitting symbol with which to recognize Earth Day," says Alan Johnson BevMo's CEO, noting in the press release that cork is renewable, biodegradable and recyclable.
Somewhat undercutting the press release's theme, BevMo says in the third paragraph "contrary to popular belief, there is no shortage of cork."
Cork oaks that have swathes of bark removed to secure future pleasure for enophiles are, in fact, healthier than those that don't get cut up, the press release informs.
BevMo is coordinating the program with ReCork, a recycler of "natural" cork.
(Is there unnatural cork?)
ReCork, readers are told, is a "point of interaction about the crucial role of cork forests."
(In providing stoppers for wine bottles?)
ReCork is all about "developing innovative consumer products that use natural cork to replace petroleum based materials."
A "mobile database" is maintained by ReCork identifying wines by "closure type."
(The gamay reached closure swiftly but the 2007 Beaujolais required a lengthy period of grief followed by resignation.)
Dutiful BevMo voluntary recycles of "natural" cork can also receive a free wine carrier made of recycled materials and free wine coasters made from "natural" cork.
While supplies last.
But wait, there's more:
Pairs of "stylish" SOLE flip-flops made of recycled "natural" cork will be given away to 115 "lucky" customers.
(The same number as BevMo's stores in California and Arizona.)
Just register in any BevMo store or a chance to win.

WANTAGH, N.Y. — State police found no trace of bodies today during a search along a Long Island access road near the oceanfront site where 10 sets of human remains were found earlier.
The search is to continue Tuesday along another access road, police said.
Officers are looking for remains or other clues in what could be a case of a serial killer. The investigation began as a search for a missing New Jersey prostitute last seen in the area a year ago.
About 50 officers, plus six cadaver dogs and two helicopters, searched the dense underbrush along the Wantagh State Parkway for six hours today.
State police Capt. James Dewar said there was no specific information, evidence or tip that prompted the wider search. He said the Wantagh was targeted because it leads to Ocean Parkway. Ten sets of human remains have been found in the thick brush along Ocean Parkway since December, including those of Megan Waterman, 22, of Scarborough, Maine.
While the missing prostitute has not been found, four other bodies have been identified. The missing woman's family and friends marked the one-year anniversary of her disappearance on Sunday.
Dewar noted that the two parkways are "similar in terrain and in isolation."
That means dense underbrush, few homes and difficult going, the captain said.
The highway and its bikes-and-pedestrians path were closed from about 9 a.m. to about 3 p.m.
Police said the Robert Moses Causeway, a few miles to the east, would be closed for a time on Tuesday while officers search alongside it.
The state police were joined by officers from Nassau County and the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Dewar said.

The following are the Leafs lines for tonight's game. Ron Wilson has shuffled the lines quite a bit and has looked to find some chemistry for a shooter to play with John Mitchell. He's hoping Jason Blake will fill the role while Jamal Mayers can provide some grit on the right side.
"I'm trying different things in practice just as I would in a game," Wilson said of the changes, "getting guys ready for the potential line shuffling that happens in a game. Some guys' strengths work with other guys' weaknesses. I'm not knocking Jamal, but we don't really have anyone else to put up there. It's not a reward, it's an opportunity more than anything else."
The Penguins have also put Malkin and Staal together to look for the necessary 1-2 punch they had last season and feel Staal is better suited on the 2nd line than on the third.
"It's self-explanatory, another good player on the wing with Gino," Bylsma said. "It's something I've done in the past, based on how they're playing, to make the line look a little different and based on match-ups. I'd anticipate doing that again."
The Pens are not underestimating the Leafs, despite their lack of statistics in the win column. They believe every game against the Maple Leafs, especially at the ACC, are difficult games to play and tonight will not be an exception. They are going to come out strong.
Leafs Lines:
Hagman – Stajan – Stempniak
Ponikarovsky – Grabovski – Kulemin
Blake – Mitchell – Mayers
Orr – Wallin – Rosehill
Kaberle – Beauchemin
Schenn – Komisarek
White – Finger
A reminder to all that Checking From Behind will be hosting another Pre-Game Discussion Tonight at 6:00 to discuss everything around the league, but most importantly Toronto's game tonight and their plan to not only find their identity, but also to help Toskala find his way to a win.

So I have been avoiding words. Words like these ones right here.
And yes, I am aware that I just used the phrase "these ones." #IBlameTheSouth
I don't know what it is about words. I find them alternately an abiding comfort and a deep frustration. I have hurled them as invective, used them like a lover's caress, and felt them/rolled them around in my mouth, through my heart, and on the page.
But sometimes of late words have [quite literally] failed me. I have said the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way.
I have received hurtful words from someone I love, most recently unintentionally (but intentionally in the past).
Sidebar: They both feel bad.
It's enough to make me clam up altogether, which I am getting especially good at. Seems easier to say nothing than to say something I don't mean or that will leave a lasting wound.
And then a few weeks ago I ran across this from Thich Nhat Hanh, the Fourth Mindfulness Training Guide:
"I am committed to speaking truthfully using words that inspire confidence, joy, and hope. When anger is manifesting in me, I am determined not to speak. I will practice mindful breathing and walking in order to recognize and to look deeply into my anger. I know that the roots of anger can be found in my wrong perceptions and lack of understanding of the suffering in myself and in the other person. I will speak and listen in a way that can help myself and the other person to transform suffering and see the way out of difficult situations."
The idea is to monitor yourself and your words so that they are not harmful or rooted in anger or misunderstanding that will make things worse.
In short, "Seek first to understand, then be understood."
Excellent idea.
Except we are all of us only human beings, yes? And as I like to [gratefully] acknowledge, this is a practice, not a perfect. I am still at the grasshopper stage, keeping my mouth shut and walking away.
But this is patently unhelpful in some situations where silence would only serve to deepen the rift or misunderstanding or hurt others, especially those who have had silence wielded like a sword in their past.
Which brings me to my recent connection of wabi-sabi as it pertains to humans. My particular friend lent me a book recently called Wabi-Sabi For Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers. Wabi-sabi is the Japanese philosophy/practice/way of life focused on accepting and celebrating the beauty of impermanence and imperfection in everything. That's a thumbnail, but it gets to the root in a nutshell.
Richard Powell sums it up as this:
"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."
Certainly true for the wabi-sabi qualities in humans, human communication, and human relationships.
The trick here is to determine if you are willing to do the work anyway, to acknowledge the impermanence and imperfection and love (accept) all of that anyway.
According to Wabi-Sabi for Artists,
"The simplicity of wabi-sabi is probably described as the state of grace arrived at by a sober, modest, heartfelt intelligence."
This is a far cry from the passionate, loud, and impulsive words being hurled around of late, in my house and in the rest of the world. Wabi-sabi requires more contemplation and reflection and acceptance, but the last is hard to come by. It seems that acceptance is the thing that allows the words or the art or the love to flow.
I have lost many words of late. I don't know if that's a reflection of my lack of acceptance, but it is certainly highlighting my imperfection. Wabi-sabi is the fine line between something starting and ending, that moment when there is a shift. Maybe that's what is happening.
So what's with the crabcakes? How is this wabi-sabi?
Well, to start, crabs don't give a fuck about decay and imperfection; they are one of the few bottom feeders that I will actually eat, mopping up whatever's rotten on the bottom of the Bay.
They accept whatever is lowered into the depths at the end of a piece of cotton twine. Throw a ripe chicken neck off a dock and you will invariably hoist a few crabs from the murky depths.
In this pairing, they are also a continuation of experimentation in my kitchen, which is a good thing, and they represent a foundational element in my life. I grew up in Maryland, crabbing off the docks at Assateague as a child and picking crabs in someone's backyard at least once a summer every year. When I am feeling at loose ends, it is a great comfort to me to come back to these touchstones in my life when I can reliably remember feeling at peace and without struggle.
So along with these words, here is some food for you.
Maryland Crabcakes With Green Papaya, Carrot, and Jicama Slaw
With Pineapple Vinaigrette
2 tsp. Old Bay
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 T Dijon mustard
2 slices bread without crusts, torn into bits
1 T mayonnaise
1 egg
Optional: 1/2 tsp Worchestershire (I am not convinced, but many would say this is essential.)
1 pound jumbo lump crab
Green Papaya, Jicama, and Carrot Slaw
1/2 cup green papaya, shredded
1/2 cup jicama, shredded
1/4 cup carrots, shredded
1 large jalapeno, finely sliced (keep some seeds for heat)
a handful of fresh pineapple, julienned
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
juice of one lime
1 oz. pineapple vinegar (recipe below)
2 oz. vegetable oil (or other light oil)
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
small garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 tsp. celery seed
salt and pepper to taste
Combine Old Bay, parsley, mustard, mayonnaise, egg, and Worchestershire (if using) in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
Add crabmeat and mix with your hands very, very gently. You want the crab to stay in big, fat, delicious chunks, barely held together.
Form into something resembling a cross between a meatball and a patty. For ease, I greased ramekins and packed the meat in there. Place in 'fridge for 30 minutes while you make the slaw.
Heat a generous amount of butter (couple tablespoons) in a heavy frying pan. Place crabcakes gently in pan and fry until they have a nice crust and are warmed all the way through (about four minutes to a side.
Move to paper towels until serving.
Combine the first six ingredients (green papaya, jicama, carrot, jalapeno, pineapple, parsley) in a medium bowl and squeeze the juice of one lime to coat the veg. In a small bowl, whisk together the last five ingredients (vinegar, oil, cumin, garlic, celery). Pour over vegetables and herbs, then season with salt and pepper.
Pineapple vinegar
In a saucepan, combine 8 oz. white vinegar, 8 oz. of fresh pineapple, and 1 tsp. of sugar. Bring to a rolling boil, mashing the pineapple a bit as it boils. Remove from heat and let cool, then strain to remove solids and place in 'fridge.
Recipe notes
- I used GF bread, but white bread is traditional, or Saltine crackers. If using Saltines, use about eight crackers.
- JM Clayton crabmeat is the way to go if you are buying it. If you aren't going to pick it yourself, don't fuck around with crappy crabmeat in a can. This is an expensive recipe, to be sure, so save your money if you need to, but do it right. Or, do what I did and eat rice for a week for dinner so you can afford to test the recipe. #LifesFullOfTradeOffs
- Fresh peaches make delicious vinegar as well. Swap the white vinegar for white balsamic and sub peeled, chopped peaches for the pineapple and proceed as above. Much more delicate flavor.
- Turns out, I hate cabbage and cabbage hates me, so that's why none is present. If cabbage loves you and vice versa feel free to add it in.
- If you cannot find green papaya at your local Asian grocery store, feel free to use cabbage instead. It will change the flavors a bit, but using a lighter-flavored cabbage like Napa cabbage should keep things balanced.

It will always be a tall order to meet Aristotle's words of wisdom with one's daily actions. But one of the foremost enlightening philosophers in human history must have had it right in stating how it is "choice, not chance" that determines our destiny. A friendship gained, a relationship born, an idea germinating, a crisis averting, a strategy emerging, are all so related to our choices made that it seems most obvious to assert how these choices when added up indeed shape our lives.
Our destiny is thus manifested in our choices rather than any stroke of luck that could excuse the labour of comparing and choosing people in our lives, including advisors, in the course of our important decisions. Choosing entails comparing, holding off, rejecting and finally deciding the one that is most suitable. Whatever objective criteria we may adopt, our gut instinct plays a great part in our decision-making process.
Letting this gut instinct be shaped by diligent effort in choosing and comparing is important in settling on the lawyer of choice. And letting oneself be governed by "high intention, sincere effort and intelligent execution" in this process, is a worthwhile reminder by the great Greek sage. Observing Aristotle's dictum will ensure that one's eventual choice of excellence will become, not by accident, a small part of personal destiny.
At Sawhney Law Office we believe that it is our job to listen and understand your issue, offer a reasoned legal strategy, and put together a plan to solve your problem. We are sensitive to your needs in a time of crisis and are committed to keeping costs down, guided by the principle that access to justice should be a right for all citizens. With 30 years of experience as a lawyer, and 21 years of protecting the rights of Ontarians in a variety of litigation and appeal matters, I am able to handle a large variety of simple to complex matters that occur in daily life.
Being involved in a legal issue can be a difficult time. The confusion and stress of the process and outcome often raise more questions than answers. Not knowing who to seek advice from can be stressful. We recognize choosing a lawyer is not an easy job. It is important to feel comfortable in asking questions and expecting answers. We believe listening to your problem with compassion, and having a passion for the law, are our strengths that guide us in solving your legal issue.
We have a strong belief in giving back to the community and strive to make the law work for everyone whom we are in a position to assist. The greatest service one can render is to help someone in need. Occasionally, we are able to provide pro bono services to those who may not be in a position to access legal services due to difficult life circumstances. Making a difference matters to us.
If there is one thing lawyers of distinction emphasize, it is the benefit of overall experience in diverse practice areas that enables one to undertake novel matters that challenge existing precedent. Law breaks new ground every now and then, but we believe this is easier done by lawyers who have substantial experience in court matters of trials and appeals. My wide-ranging experience in civil and commercial litigation as well as appeal matters in the courts and tribunals in Ontario, allows me to represent you effectively. Our four steps to achievement are: Plan, Prepare, Proceed, Pursue.
I received an Honours degree in Economics in 1980 from Delhi University, and then obtained my LL.B. in 1983 from Delhi Law School. In 1985, I graduated with an LL.M. from Cornell Law School. In 1991, I completed one year of law school at the University of Ottawa, through the Joint Committee on Accreditation, after which I articled with a Bay Street law firm, and was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 1993. I am also a member of the New York State Bar.
During my Masters in Law degree program, I had the opportunity to research constitutional legal principles to compare the functioning of judicial systems in different democracies for my thesis. This study laid the foundation of my deep interest in bringing justice to my clients through tapping a range of remedies through patient and persuasive techniques rooted in constitutional and other fundamental law that have stood the test of time in whichever courts they may arise.
My thesis study of the U.S. constitution in relation to the due process of substantive and procedural law has assisted me in appreciating the unique and rapid development of Canadian law under the Canadian Charter by the courts in the last thirty years, which informs our Canadian legal system in its modern day context in which active litigation takes place.
I have appeared before courts and tribunals at various levels in my wide range of practice areas and have conducted trials and motions in Brampton, Toronto, Milton, Oshawa, and other GTA courts. My courtroom success and longstanding experience includes corporate litigation of complex matters including corporate partnership, punitive damages award at a personal injury hearing, family law trial resulting in vesting of home in name of applicant, outstanding mediation success in personal injury and long term disbability court litigated matters, dismissal of action in a multiparty litigation matter on Limitations Act and specious discovery of cause of action grounds, setting aside of tax penalties and dismissal of government assessment amounts in the Tax Court of Canada, establishing defendant's grounds in sale of professional business, settling mortgage proceedings in court, obtaining a tribunal determination of mental capacity for professional continuity of applicant's livelihood, obtaining court determination of public guardianship, obtaining prior order of lack of grounds for professional conduct hearing, establishing proper disclosure of pre-existing medical condition for collecting on life insurance, establishing grounds for negligent misrepresentation and special relationship test in tortious liability matters, litigating property disputes in legal and beneficial ownership matters, amongst many other civil and commercial matters.
In tribunal litigation, I have conducted national and provincial precedent-setting administrative hearings in employment insurance, disability and workers compensation matters. I have on various occasions brought constitutional challenges in legal interpretations before the courts and the tribunals where circumstances warrant.
I fight hard for the underdog, and have often over-extended himself in championing such cause. In a landmark case, I succeeded in having deputed by the Regional Senior Judge, a single judge in the Superior Court of Justice to hear the whole case to retain the judicial economy of resources and legal cost instead of the potentially contradictory and time consuming process of having to schedule different motions before different judges in the court system.
In early 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada emphasized the significance of single judge case management in civil matters. The highest court has proclaimed now that all the courts in the country should shake up their scheduling systems to bring about efficient, effective and feasible access to justice by simplifying procedures, and by early court review of fact findings that permit early judicial relief under a more flexible and more accessible summary judgment procedure.
The wider ramifications of the decision in all areas of the law are welcoming indeed. The Court of Appeal has recently adapted to this "cultural shift" in judicial thinking to decide without the need for a full-blown trial where summary judgment was not even requested. The shake up will be seen and felt throughout Canada in this new forward thinking of bringing the judicial system within the reach of ordinary citizens.
I am privileged to have fought for this judicial thinking in the courts as one of the only and earliest proponents of such reasoning amongst lawyers. My successful court application a few years ago, with detailed reasons relating to the impact of such a procedure on access to justice for ordinary litigants, the only one on court record of its kind, and a precursor to the single judge case management prescription by the highest court, is available for review for readers, and is a matter of public record with the subscription-based Quicklaw legal database.
In all civil and commercial litigation matters, I always try to seek shorter relief measures to simplify procedures. I adopt my clients' insights to devise strategies relevant to the issues at stake. My experience also tells me how often the client overrates certain views that harden due to being too close to a situation, which makes it necessary to inject objectivity in assessing facts.
Many important decisions where I acted as the lawyer, are reported in the Ontario civil procedure Digest, as well as court and tribunal databases. I have a long list of clients I have served for years with constant support through the thick and thin of legal process. These clients can be privately consulted prior to retaining me I will happily discuss your legal matters and encourage you to contact me.
I personally write all website and blog content which is for general understanding and is not legal advice to be relied upon, since such advice must always be specifically sought for all particular situations. I also encourage those with a special interest in the legal system, with or without a legal matter, to contact me for issues of general public interest involving the law. I have an abiding interest in the broader legal system and how I can do my part in improving it. Check back from time to time to see updates on commentary sections. Updated commentary is often integrated with the website material and may not be separate.
I encourage comments and your valuable suggestions to improve the website and your input into what topics would be useful and in what depth.
When not practising law, which is a very brief period, I humor my clients to lift the weight of the law, enjoy family time with my wife and university-attending kids, have fun and laughs with friends, listen to a range of music, love to read philosophy and history, walk, and play chess. I love talking to people with a view to understanding their legal probems, and focusing on what I could do to help.

Yesterday, I made the case for why the DFL may lose ground in 2014. For my DFL friends who are now out on the ledge staring into the inky abyss, here are five reasons to not jump. Yet.
DFL Has A Broader Base. Minnesota is a fairly solid blue state these days. According a recent Public Policy Polling survey, there are significantly more Minnesotans who say they are Democrats (38%) than Republicans (27%). That's a big reason why the polls show that DFL state legislators have a significantly better, though not good, approval rating (36% approve) than Republican state legislators (23% approve). It also probably explains why the DFL starts the campaign season ahead in generic head-to-head races, with a generic DFL candidate preferred by a six point margin (47% for the generic DFLer and 41% for the generic Republican). Again, the DFL's seasonal voters have to be energized get off the proverbial couch to vote in a non-presidential year, but an average DFL legislative candidates does start the race with a significantly broader base than their Republican opponents. That's a big deal. Continue reading

Hello NG!
It's been maybe 2-3 years since i worked on music actively, since i had other things to attend to.
So i just wanted to inform everyone that i'm back in business (whenever i can) and want to create songs that YOU can enjoy.
I've been a member here since 2006 (almost 10 years!) and submitted songs ever since, with my brother Ken, and it's been a pleasure to hear that people like to listen to our music and some people even get inspired.
So i just wanted to thank this great site and all the people in it, for supporting us. You kind of make us want to write more music!
A tip for all people who want more views, fans and downloads for their work: Review lots, try to say everything positive about their work and if you gotta say something negative; try to be constructive at least. (not like: LOL THIS SUCKS, etc etc). Also be active in the forums and try to help people however you can. But most of the people already know this stuff, right?
Yeye, i'm looking forward for the future to find new great artists and i also wish that i could make a super song some day that's gonna rock your socks off.
If you need some tips in music or maybe want me to record some guitar's for you, you can contact me here via PM or my skype 'Kimpotent85'.
Here's some song's i've wrote this year, so far.
Kim - Eternal Ascension
Still experimenting with that song.
Kim - Path of Doom
I never finished this and i never will, probably.
P.S I made a facebook for KimKen also. Just go to facebook, type in 'Kimken' and you'll find us. (I don't know why, since facebook is so boring)
(cool guitar, eh?)

The studio in which the James Bond and Harry Potter movies were made expands to the Dominican Republic.
An 8-acre large water effects complex is planned to be built on the new 35-acre location.
The new facility should attract Latin American film and TV makers. Other abroad facilities are in Canada, Germany and soon in Malaysia.

The architectural art of comedy and the art of Australian architecture.

Co-hosting the show with Jon Faine today is Jane Clifton.
Comedian, performer and, we learned today, a renovator. Jane and her husband are renovating their house with varying degrees of success and compromise.
She tried to get a dumb waiter installed, one where you drive in under the house put the groceries in it and up it goes.
"My idea never actually got on the drawing board... apparently it costs a fortune!"
Jimeoin was first in. His new show "Lovely" is on at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival at the moment.
Why call it "Lovely"?
Jimeoin explains, "if you look at the poster underneath 'lovely' is written UVF. I grew up in Northern Ireland and anytime there was graffiti on the wall in our area - anytime anyone wrote UVF - people turned it into 'Lovely'".
At the program's back deck is longtime architect and now the presenter of Grand Designs Australia - Peter Maddison.
Even after 20 years in the industry the projects featured in the show surprised him.
"It's certainly broadened my view about what's possible Jon. I've now travelled all over Australia and I've seen dozens of projects that I wouldn't have through possible."

What would you be doing if you didn't have to go to work or worry about money? As adults, it seems that we've forgotten how to dream…we just accept the reality that we've created for ourselves.
Why is it that we settle for less than what we truly desire? Desire…a powerful word, and combined with passion…you can achieve great things…but you have to believe you can…
The past few years have been challenging for many people from all walks of life; the economy is in the tank and lots of people are struggling to make ends meet.
One question might be…how do I retire with enough money so I don't outlive my money?
Another question might be…how the heck do I get out of the rat race?
What are the biggest problems facing most people today?
- lack of freedom
- lack of money
- lack of security
- lack of time
- your excuse
- all of the above
The Solution…passive residual income…which is defined as something that makes you money without you having to put in the time.
Are you afraid of failure…or success, or is it just the change that you fear most?
So, how do I get to this place where I don't have to go to work and can live my dream life?
If I started today what could I do for the next 10 years that will make me a boatload of cash, so I never have to look for another J-O-B?
I'll use Robert Kiyosaki's (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) examples (the four money quadrants)…because he knows a thing or two about how money works and how to have it work you, rather than you working for it…
Your four choices (quadrants) are this:
- Employee – working for someone else
- Self employed – own your own job and you are your own boss
- Business owner – system of making money, rather than a job to make money (this is where you want to be)
- Investor – spending (risking) money to receive a larger payout (there's no guarantee investments always go up)
- Trading time for money, not very efficient
- Your net worth is not going to increase, unless you have a high paying job, save 20% of your income & invest it for roughly 40 years; you might have enough to retire comfortably, but you're too old to do all the fun stuff
- The crazy thing about this is…most people drive 30 minutes or more, fighting traffic, to go to a job they don't like, to work with people they don't like, making someone else rich…and the weird part is…they're afraid of losing that…I don't get it…heck, I'd be glad to get fired
Self Employed
- Trading time for money, not very efficient
- Basically, you just bought yourself a job, with flexible hours
- If you don't go to work you don't get paid…period
- Not much better than a JOB
- No paid vacation, no sick time, etc
Small Business or Franchise
- Large start-up costs.
- What does it take to start a Jack in the Box or McDonalds?
- Huge loan
- Employees
- Liabilities
- Insurance
- Store front
- Too many headaches…
- Lots of money to start with, to be able to live off your investments (assuming they go up in value)
- A million dollars at 5% is only 50K / year, before taxes…you can barely survive on that
- Or you could live off the million & hope you die before you run out of money
Back to School
- You could become a doctor, dentist, lawyer, professional, etc
- It's going to take you roughly 8 years to get there and over $200,000, that only leaves me 2 years to retire…remember we're on a 10 yr plan
- Heck, it would take another 10 years just to pay off the loans and business start-up costs
Network Marketing…is it a Scam? or the Perfect Business Model?
- Multiple streams of income
- Low start-up cost, low risk
- Start-up costs range from $FREE – $5000+, but most are $500 or less
- Unlimited income potential, no special skill set, no age limits
- No employees, no boss, no inventory, no store front, flexible hours
- Anyone can do this
- You can even do this while you have a full time job
- Must be able to communicate with people
- This business model has been endorsed by people such as Donald Trump & Robert Kiyosaki…do you think these guys know something?
- A lot of companies have also figured out that this is an extremely efficient business model; they can save a ton of money by having you advertise for them
- 5 hours per week for the next 5-10 years would create a huge residual income stream; you could make more money than your job would ever pay you
- Network Marketing is a marathon, not a sprint
- Most people network themselves every day, whether they realize it or not, why not get paid for it
Networking Marketing defined: you buying a product or service, and then referring others to that company to buy stuff for themselves, it's about showing, not selling…
A few statistics that I came across while doing research:
- 36% have given up and don't believe they can have a better life
- 10% are just lazy
- 17% look at an opportunity just to prove it wrong
- 3% have tried this and failed, they know these things don't work
- 4% are making a ¼ million per year and think they are doing OK
- 30% have no clue
One of my core beliefs is…that by helping others get what they want you'll get what you want. That's what network marketing is all about; you get paid by helping others succeed (just the opposite of the corporate world). It's win-win, because by helping your downline succeed, you become even more successful.
How good would it feel to know your financial future is secure and that a perpetual residual income stream will flow to you and your family?
I'll leave you with a few thoughts…
Stop the self-limiting beliefs… and get out of your own way…
Make an effort, not an excuse…
Failure is never as frightening as regret…
I use this in my prospecting efforts when someone confronts me about network marketing being a real business and that nobody makes money. I briefly remind people about the four money quadrants and the choices they have. I don't try to sell them on the benefits of network marketing, I just use this example. Hopefully this will help you when prospecting & speaking to people as much as it has helped me.

The Burg, and the entire Tampa Bay region, has polished off its share of trophies this past year. Whether ranking as a top destination for staycations, holidays like St. Patrick's Day and Halloween, a premier destination for startups, or the number one area where people are moving to in the U.S., the Sunshine City still holds onto the modesty and charm that's made it a hidden paradise for so long.
Business and arts boom fuel Tampa Bay growth
Downtown's business boom, mixed with rising class sizes at USFSP, Eckerd and SPC and our revamped and growing arts and food scenes, have assisted in growing the home values in our area. At the start of 2017, Forbes released a list of the Top U.S. cities to invest in housing. St. Pete and Tampa ranked in at 7.
Over the past three years, Tampa Bay's population has grown 4.5% with a year-over-year job growth of 2.6%. The bustle has put a high priority on land in the historic district near downtown (i.e. Old Northeast, Kenwood, Uptown). Home prices have risen more than 9%.
Florida continues to be a state for smart investments
To create the list, and crunch the numbers, Forbes teamed up with Local Market Monitor, a North-Carolina-based company that tracks more than 300 housing markets. The state of Florida has had strong showings on this list the past two year. 7 Florida cities made the cut in 2016, and 4 made it this year.
The researchers note that these investment won't yield immediate gains. In an article by Forbes writer Samantha Sharf, CEO of Local Market Monitor Ingo Wizner stated, "If you are planning on making an investment, either by buying a home or by buying a rental property, these are really good markets . . . These are markets where you can make an investment, you are probably going to get a good return and you are not taking an extraordinary risk."

I went to my first Knitter's Frolic this afternoon, held at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. I have to admit, it hurt a little bit to take the bus to Don Mills on a non-work day!
The Frolic is put on each year by the Downtown Knit Collective and is mainly a marketplace and series of workshops. The spindles above were at the Gemini Fibres booth. Plenty of spinning equipment and books, including a charkha. I'm dying to try one out – I like the idea of having a little notebook charkha.
Indigo Moon from Gabriola Island, BC was there as well. Really beautiful, rich colours and naturally dyed silks. I showed amazing restraint and didn't buy a single skein of yarn. I'm still wondering how that happened.
For the second time in the last month, I flirted with the idea of buying three skeins of Malabrigo Lace. I have Hannah Fettig's Featherweight Cardigan in mind, if I could only commit to a colourway!

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said no decision will be taken on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) without the consent of the state farmers. (Agencies)
"Industrial corridor is an important project in which East and West corridor will get connected in UP," Yadav told reporters here after a high level meeting between the officials of the Centre and the state.
"But any decision will be taken only when there is consensus of the farmers. No decision will be taken without the consent of the farmers," the Chief Minister said.
Meanwhile, Industrial Development Commissioner Anil Kumar Gupta said, as of now 400-500 land of Greater Noida and 100 acres land of UP State Industrial Development Corporation is available for the project.
He said in the later phases, land would be taken with the consent of the farmers.
"Efforts would be made to make them partners in the project," he said.
Gupta said 20 points have been identified under the project in which seven investment zones and 13 industrial zones would be developed.
"Of this one industrial zone and one investment zone will be developed in UP," he said.
Yadav said both UP and the central government should take benefit of the proposed project, which would include parts of Bulandshahr and Dadri.
The meeting, which was chaired by the state's Chief Minister, was also attended by secretary of the centre Saurabh Chandra and chairman of DMIC Amitabh Kant.
Gupta said with the execution of the project, an investment of Rs 75,000 crore is estimated in the state and would create 12 lakh employment opportunities.
"A special purpose vehicle will be set up for the project and its chairman and chief executive officer will be from UP," Gupta said.
IDC's Chandra said efforts would be made to cover 20,000 hectares of land in the project.
He said the state would contribute in form of land in the project which has Japanese funding.
