Today I am reviewing my favourite concealer. For me, it's one of the best and yes, I have tried high-end concealers before. It is £4.99 an absolute bargain if you ask me!
I have this in the shade fair and it is one of the few concealers that actually matches my skin-tone. Usually, they are too dark for me. The concealer does boast that it has staying power, which in my experience it does. However, I don't know if it lasts the full 18 hours like it is supposed too. It's also supposed to give full coverage, in my opinion, it doesn't. I tend to use two layers on my under eye area if I am going somewhere nice, I find then I have full coverage, just using one layer I don't think gives full coverage. However, just day to day, I just use one layer.
It looks so much darker on camera!
The consistency is quite runny. The best way I find to apply this is to pat it gently into my under eye area with my ring fingers. I get much better coverage this way. When applying this to spots I apply the wand onto the back of my hand, then pat it over redness and blemishes again with my fingers, it's more hygienic to apply it this way. If you apply the wand directly to spots then back into the container you are transferring germs which will ultimately end up back on your face again.
I have had this concealer for ages now and it's still going strong. I haven't had to replace it yet. Seriously, it's like a bottomless pit! So, if you like this concealer then you certainly get value for money.
Something I do find is that it can accentuate the creases under my eyes, even before I pat setting powder over the top. I have tried everything but it still happens, perhaps that's just my eyes. To be fair I have that with every concealer I try! Like most concealers and foundations it can make very dry skin look worse. But I think that's across the board really. I use a scrub on my face to remove dry patches then moisturise, that mostly keeps these dry patches at bay.
All in all, I really love this concealer and will be repurchasing once it (finally) runs out.

Kauai police arrested a non-compliant sex offender at the Kukuiula Small Boat Harbor in Koloa on Thursday.
Bernard Almeida, Jr., age 59 of Koloa, was arrested and charged with 14 felony counts of non-compliance. Almeida is a registered sex offender who has failed to register since August of last year.
He is currently being held at the Kauai Community Correctional Center in lieu of $13,000 bail. According to the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Almeida is scheduled to appear in District Court on Wednesday at 1 p.m.
State law requires registered sex offenders to keep their registration information, including their contact information, updated and accurate. Failing to do so is a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years imprisonment for each violation.
The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC), an agency of the state Department of the Attorney General, keeps a public listing of all registered sex offenders in the state.
To search for a registered sex offender, visit the HCJDC website at www.ehawaii.gov/sexoffender.
Hawaii Revised Statutes §846E-2 Registration requirements. (a) A covered offender shall register with the attorney general and comply with the provisions of this chapter for life or for a shorter period of time as provided in this chapter. A covered offender shall be eligible to petition the court in a civil proceeding for an order that the covered offender's registration requirements under this chapter be terminated, as provided in section 846E-10.

Repairman Dean Carey can fix anything, even the rich ice princess, Victoria Green. But Victoria needs a lot more than a little repair, she needs protection, protection from the one person who will stop at nothing until she's dead. With money as no object and a desire to keep the attack discreet, Victoria enlists the help of Dean, the handyman, to become her own private bodyguard.
Despite not wanting anything to do with her, Dean can't turn down a blank check or resist guarding a body like hers. But as the chemistry heats up and her cold exterior begins to thaw, Dean realizes there's much more to her than he gave her credit for. However, the challenge still may be beyond what he bargained for. Victoria's enemy may be closer than she realized.

McDowell gets 2012 Ryder Cup underway
The man who secured the winning point in the last Ryder Cup today got the 2012 match underway
Graeme McDowell's victory over Hunter Mahan sealed Europe's one-point win at Celtic Manor, where the former US Open champion had also claimed one and a half points from three matches with Rory McIlroy.
It was no therefore no surprise to see the Northern Irish duo together again in the first foursomes match on Friday morning, with McDowell given the honour of hitting the opening shot of their match with Jim Furyk and rookie Brandt Snedeker.
In front of a packed grandstand which had been full in darkness an hour before play began, McDowell pulled his drive well left of the fairway and left McIlroy a tricky shot to the green partially obstructed by trees.
However, the world number one was able to hit a high approach which found the fringe and saw McDowell redeem himself with an excellent chip to within inches of the hole to save par, with Furyk missing a birdie putt from 25ft following Snedeker's approach.

Almost a week ago I decided to start playing competitively, so I started researching, comparing, choosing, designing and training all the elements of my first team. Here is the result:
Item: White Herb
Ability: Technician
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Defense, 4 Defense.
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Scizor's function in the team is resist hits so he can boost Braviary's Speed twice with Agility. If he's faster than the opponent and hasn't been hit too hard, he also boosts once with Swords Dance, to finally Baton Pass the boosts to Braviary. Bullet Punch is there because I didn't want to leave him without means of dealing some damage if needed. Thanks to Technician and the STAB, it makes decent damage. His Mind Herb prevents the boosts from being canceled.
He's trained to resist as much as possible in battle, and thanks to his awesome typing his only fear is fire.
Item: Choice Band
Ability: Sheer Force
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 HP.
Shadow Claw
Brave Bird
Braviary is specifically designed for 1HKO'ing practically anything that isn't a wall. His moveset covers most types with SE hits, and those that aren't covered get an agressive amount of neutral damage. The Choice Band in combination with the boosts Scizor passed him assure maximum damage, and thanks to his decent Speed stat he can outrun most Pokémon that aren't particullary fast. However, he is pretty frail, and can be easily knockeddown if outrunned.
Return is his main attack backed up by the STAB, with Superpower as a desperate measure if he needs to break a Steel, Rock or Ice type. Brave Bird also gets a STAB and deals a humungous amount of damage that only very defensive Electric, Rock and Steel Pokémon have a chance of surviving. Shadow Claw is there in case of Ghost or Psychic types.
Item: Light Clay
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 HP, 4 Sp. Defense.
Light Screen
Rapid Spin
Psyshock/Earth Power
Claydol is a Spinner that is powerful in both defenses. Thanks to this he can last many turns without getting in real trouble. Other than that, he can use Light Screen and Reflect to back up Braviary's weak defenses (as well as making a possible Offensive Tank out of Infernape, at least for 8 turns.
His Earth Power is there for the same reason Scizor has Bullet Punch. I still can't decide if I should change it for Psyshock, so advice is appreciated.
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 Sp. Defense, 244 HP, 12 Sp. Attack
Lava Plume
Good ol' Torment Heatran, with a few tweaks here and there. He's designed for endurance and residual damage, a Wall made specifically for annoying the opponent.
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Speed, 4 HP, 252 Attack.
Heat Wave
Close Combat
Grass Knot
Mixed Infernape, designed as a fast Sweeper with great type coverage. If he manages to receive boosts from Claydol or Scizor, his attacks are lethal. Sad part is that his Life Orb takes him down too quickly.
Item: Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP, 88 Defense, 168 Sp. Defense.
Stealth Rock
Giga Drain
Thunder Wave
He's very hard to take down and his main offense is combined residual damage from Iron Barbs, Rocky Helmet and Stealth Rock. He provides type coverage for the rest of the team, and can also cripple the opponent with Thunder Wave. Thanks to Substitute and Giga Drain, his presence in battle is extended greatly.
Please give feedback, and give your opinion overall. It's my first team so I still don't know how good it is. Thanks in advance!

Via Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform blog,
On this day in 1943 the "Current Tax Payment Act", was passed by Congress. It provides for income taxes on wages and salaries to be withheld by employers from paychecks. The purpose stated was that is was an emergency provision for the War. Sure — but it is still with us today. This act accounts for the uncontrolled growth of government more than any other event!!!
Also on this day in 1963 The Equal Pay Act, P.L. 88-38, is enacted. It guarantees women equal pay for equal work but proves difficult to enforce. "Equal work" is totally subjective but contributes to Lawyer's full employment.
Milton Friedman, who was a key player in implementing the "tax withholding" system realized what he had done and sought redemption.
"Far more important, without a system of current collection, it would have been impossible to collect the amount of income taxes that we collected during the war. At the time, we concentrated single-mindedly on promoting the war effort. We gave next to no consideration to any longer-run consequences. It never occurred to me at the time that I was helping to develop machinery that would make possible a government that I would come to criticize severely as too large, too intrusive, too destructive of freedom. Yet, that is precisely what I was doing."
Since defects don't matter, according to Chaney and others, there is only one reason why the Government doesn't just print Legal Tender rather than collecting taxes. That reason is to legitimize the $US as the worlds reserve currency.

| zitaos chapter 4 . 10/30/2011
You're doing such a great job with this, Ate! It makes total sense, and I like how you're not writing anything that isn't backed up with enough evidence from what we know from the actual game(s). I also like how you weave the games from the original FF trilogy together in this fic. Meh, can't wait to read more.
Oh, and hat last line was hilarious.
| chounojou chapter 3 . 10/19/2011
TECMO seems to hate the guys in fatal frame. I mean, look, this 3 guys ends up dying. And, about this story, you made it greatly! I love it! Keep up the good work!

Nooo don't kill Kei! ...you know what? I can't pick between letting Kei die or make him be with Kyouka... .
Still liking the story, nice again. LOL Yuu turning into a sort of lovestruck dude. :D Keep up the good work.
| zitaos chapter 2 . 10/13/2011
Don't you dare make Kei die, dang it. DUUUDE, STICK TO THE CANON ENDING OF THE THIRD GAME. ;A;
loool, I can imagine Yuu being rich, but not that rich. o: Seriously though. As long as he's still quiet, humble, and kind, then I'm fine with that.
Girls like quiet and nice guys.
Moving on now... Poor Shizu. D: She seems so worried. And ugh, Mio and Mayu are too darn cute. FOR SERIOUS NOW, ATE.
Will Kei meet Mafuyu in college? owo
| chounojou chapter 2 . 10/12/2011
Phew... taking care of kids is kind of hardwork, and Mio made it worse. It's fun to imagine Kei taking care of two little twins. This story is great, and it seems like it's gonna be fun, update soon!
| Paulownia-Wisteria chapter 2 . 10/11/2011
Oh sweet, I'm liking the story! Kei's one of my favorite character, and the fact that Mio is driving him nuts is... Fun.
(A shame he got *cough* owned by womans in the Chamber of Thorns)
Aww Kei is dying? I always told myself that he's alive, I mean seriously Tecmo? Why is guys always dying?
Nevertheless, this is a beautiful story, I hope you update sooner!
| chounojou chapter 1 . 10/5/2011
I do agree with Kei. I always hope that my sisters born as a boy but... they're my SISTERS! Okay, don't think about that. I love this story, and I love the way you write this story. Is this story a multichapter? Well, I hope so because I wanna see how Kei meet Mafuyu and Yuu but, it's all up to you!

Ummm, I failed to take a self portrait that contained my face this month. This particular photo that was taken while waiting for a portrait test session to start will have to suffice for now. I'll make up for it on vacation …
Currently …
Reading … this was the month mostly filled with fluff — a couple Nicholas Sparks books (good as always) + Eligible (a disappointment), and slowly working my way through The Big Burn (very good).
Listening … this song/video
Watching … The Mindy Project + Superstore on Hulu. Thank goodness for Hulu.
Wrapping up … editing two test sessions I photographed recently. I'll announce my final decision regarding whether or not the portrait business will be resuming once I'm back from vacation.
Getting ready for … the above mentioned and very much needed vacation (woot woot!!). Mountains and hot air balloons are calling my name … and its possible I might get to host a Snapchat or Instagram takeover for a few stops. More details to come on my Instagram and Snapchat (username: routebliss) accounts as soon as I have the okay and details!
Searching … for a church home. Its been years since I've entered a church that felt like home/a family to me. Since I'm in a new town (residence wise, not work wise) and finally settled in, I just started the search after asking for some recommendations. Visited church #1 this past Sunday and will attend at least a few more times to get a feel for all the pastors/groups once I get back from vacation.

Day 3: Gallipoli
Istanbul – Gallipoli. Early this morning, we travel to the WW1 battlefields of Gallipoli. Here, we'll embark upon a guided tour of the region, once the site of fierce fighting and today almost hauntingly beautiful, with its wooded landscape dotted with understated memorials to the war dead. Our guided tour of the region will take in sights such as ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Australian War Memorial and cemetery, Chunuk Blair New Zealand War Memorial and cemetery, the Nek, Johnston's Jolly and the many fortified trenches still clearly visible amongst the scrub after all these years.

Day 4: Troy & Kusadasi
Gallipoli – Kusadasi. Heading south, we enjoy a guided tour of Homer's Troy, famed for the Trojan wooden horse and fabled Helen.

Day 5: Ancient Ephesus
Today, we enjoy a guided tour at the legendary Roman ruins of Ephesus.

Pamukkale was formed when warm, calcium rich mineral water cascaded over the cliff edge, cooling and depositing in the process. The calcium built natural shelves and pools on the cliffs, known as travertines. Today, some of the pools are closed. However, areas of the travertines can be walked upon, albeit in bare feet. We can however opt to enjoy a unique and very pleasant dip in the warm waters at the Pamukkale Thermal, with its submerged fragments of fluted marble columns in the centre of the ruined spa town of Hierapolis, which was a was a cure centre founded around 190 BC by the Romans.

In the latest part of their UK tour promoting mental health awareness, William and Kate took a trip to North Wales where they visited the town of Caernarfon - just 20 miles from the Anglesey farm where they spent their first four years as a married couple.
During the meet and greet, Prince William was handed knitted woollen sheep, one in blue and another in pink, perhaps as stocking fillers for the little ones.
The father-of-two later watched some children playing with a bubble machine and remarked that; 'George would love the bubbles... we'll have to get him one for Christmas.'
Presumably buying Christmas presents is going to be a little tricky for George, as according to The Sun he is already completely smitten with a toy tractor he uses to ride around Amner Hall.
Whilst William might be thinking about presents his wife, like many parents, hasn't got round to making plans for Christmas.
'I haven't started yet, but George will be starting to talk about Christmas soon.'
The Duchess of Cambridge has previously spoken about her eldest child being the loudest in the house, which her father-in-law Prince Charles confirmed in an interview this week.
Grandfather Charles said that George is a 'character' and, seemingly taking after his parents, he 'intrinsically loves spending time outside.'
During the trip, the Royals met with youth from local scouting groups. Kate told the crowd that she had 'really enjoyed' her time helping out with the Scouts in Anglesey and has plans enroll Princess Charlotte in Rainbows - the youngest group for girls aged five to seven.
Jill Wilkinson, Caernarfon County Commissioner for Girl Guides, said; 'Catherine said she needs to put Charlotte's name down for Rainbows and she will get George for scouting.'
Continued below...
Although 'noisy' George will have to teach mum the correct scouting code, as Kate had a little faux pas when she greeted 12-year-old Guto Jones with her right hand instead of left.

Wine Politics – another media roundup!
Here's a quick roundup of some recent reviews and mentions of my new book, Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink. If you've already gotten the book, many thanks and let us know your thoughts!
John Mariani (who has a Ph.D. himself from Columbia) wrote a review on Bloomberg.com saying that the book "contain(s) so much history, data and anecdotes in a highly readable 144 pages."
John and Dottie quoted from the book in their Friday column in the WSJ!
The Times Higher Education Supplement says that it "exposes a little-known but influential aspect of the wine business: the politics behind it."
Blogger Jeremy Parzen, Ph.D. generously calls it "required reading"!
And Tom Wark, involved in the day-to-day workings of wine industry politics as the head of the Specialty Wine Retailers' Association, wrote on his blog that "A book of this sort is so long overdue and I had been looking forward to it with such great anticipation that I nearly wet my pants when it finally arrived at my door." Then he said some other stuff that is too nice to reproduce here so you'll have to visit his blog, Fermentation, for the rest of his write up.
The signings in Oregon were fun–it was great to meet some blog readers for the first time. Thanks for the continued interest in Wine Politics and your support!

Meeting planned for RFU board
The Rugby Football Union's management board are meeting on Wednesday to discuss the recommendations made by the critical reviews into England's World Cup debacle.
The reports, leaked to The Times last week, were compiled by the RFU, the Rugby Players' Association and the Aviva Premiership clubs and presented to the Professional Game Board.
Stuart Lancaster, who currently oversees England Saxons, looks set to be appointed interim head coach - with assistance from Graham Rowntree - for the duration of the RBS 6 Nations.
With Lancaster filling the role of caretaker, the RFU will have the breathing space needed to assemble a permanent coaching team to take England to the 2015 World Cup.
It is potentially an exciting period for English rugby with high-calibre candidates Nick Mallett and Wayne Smith among those stating they would be open to an approach from Twickenham next year.
The meetings will be important for director of elite rugby Rob Andrew, who has been the target of intense criticism since Martin Johnson's resignation as manager. The RFU board meeting should prove pivotal to the future direction of Twickenham and England. The recommendations could include changes to the structure of the elite department and the national team management.
Andrew compiled the RFU report and sits on the management board, but his own role is set to come under close scrutiny.
Sports minister Hugh Robertson told Press Association Sport urgent reform of Andrew's elite department was needed after it let England down at the World Cup.
Mallett, the former South Africa, Italy and Stade Francais coach, believes there is no need for an elite rugby director to oversee the national team. Indeed, Mallett's interest in the head coach's position hinges on his demand that he report only to the board and chief executive, and not to a director of elite rugby.
The RFU anticipate announcing the identity of their new chief executive on December 14.

How to get a business working harder
Increase your productivity and raise your vision and conscious awareness first by reading Geoff Dodd's Success Formula here, then return to think about how you target, reach and message your target group of ideal customers. Are you following up with them? Are you sending them news items, special offers, discount coupons, etc.? Reward their loyalty and stickability. It will pay you great dividends in future!
Customer Loyalty
This raving fan mentality is what you'll seek to generate and create in your regular customers. You get it by extreme differentiation of your business from other, similar supplier businesses. You will be very different in your special offers, discounts, in the way you look after your "bread and butter" regular customers. Extreme differentiation. They will love you back for your generosity! Guaranteed. It's a reciprocal law of Life.
How to make a business more profitable, depends on the unique way you project your image as a problem solver… a supplier of customer satisfactions. You require a Unique Selling Proposition. A USP. The question actually becomes how to get a business working harder for you, in the psychological sphere… So, business owner, do you have a powerful USP that comes across to potential customers in the market you target – as really being the only viable solution to a problem they have that your company alone expressed, projected as an image or verbalized for them.. or an opportunity you alone identified?
Do you get this idea, this "difference" concept of extreme differentiation in how you are perceived? You'll be seen as the only reasonable, sensible, viable place to go to for your product or service category. This gets the psychological side of the community's life working better for you, with word of mouth referrals happening at zero cost to you. You might spend on gifts and on discounts and specials but your advertising budget will reduce to zero, because you have earned tremendous word of mouth free advertising. That, in a nutshell, is how to get a business working harder for you and much more profitable at the same time. Differentiated from your less visible competition. Thanks for visiting my blog today and reading my ramblings…

Using Binder Clips To Keep Things In Line
We are super big fans of smart organization, especially when they are ideas that can have multiple uses like this bulletin board.

An endearing bedtime story
In WHO'S NOT ASLEEP?, night is falling, the stars are coming out, and all the animals in the backyard are falling asleep. One by one, they curl up and shut their eyes. Except wait a minute - someone is not asleep. Who is it?
WHO'S NOT ASLEEP? is a gentle tale that will lead your little one effortlessly into Dreamland.
How big is love?
In this charming, whimsical book, a grandmother and her grandson try to describe how big the love is between them. Is it as much as one big hug? No, Matthew wants more. Is love as big as five giraffes riding in a car? Or six monkeys hanging on a star? Or can love be as big as forty-nine frogs swinging on a clock? Or maybe fifty-five hippos jumping over a rock? In the end, their love proves to be immeasurable, bigger than the whole world.

FAQs for parents
How does the admissions process work?We have worked to make our admissions process very simple for applicants. It starts with submitting an application online, by visiting our website. Avalon University offers a rolling admission, with three separate start dates during the year! Your child may start classes in January, May or September so they do not miss a beat!
To complete an application, Avalon will ask the applicant to send official transcripts, two letters of recommendation, personal essay and two recent passport photos.
Once these documents are received, the Admissions Committee will review the student's file. Applicants that have met the admissions criteria will be invited to have a personal interview via telephone.

Will my child be able to practice medicine anywhere in the United States?Medical students who plan on practicing medicine in the United States must pass the USMLE. This exam is comprised of 3 parts USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 and the USMLE C. The USMLE Step 1 is one of the most important exams medical students will take during their career. This exam reflects what residency programs are searching for. To prepare students for the USMLE we have dedicated the entire MD5 semester. Students will focus on studying and passing the USMLE by taking classes taught my professors who have taken the USMLE exams. Preparing medical students to excel on the USMLE will not only allow them to practice in the United States but gives them a larger opportunity when it comes to obtaining residency!

Pre-Medical Program- 16 months, MD Program- 16 months, Fifth Semester (MD 5 Semester) – 14 weeks
Curacao is a beautiful island that has so much to offer, your student will fit right in!


text: For years, my older sister Rosemary had talked about wanting to write a book. It was a familiar sounding dream. A beautiful desire. I've heard it from many well-meaning people. I recently read that 80% of people who wish to write a book; only 1% will actually do so. If you want to write a book, you need a strong and compelling reason. And if you really want to be a writer, you might as well take up less risky endeavors like base-jumping, Everest expeditions, hedge fund investing or learning Swahili.

middle-aged accountant, celebrates his 49th birthday, astronauts discover
a strange boy who has crash-landed on the moon in a homemade
spacecraft. This mysterious boy claims to know Roger, and so Roger is put
in the uncomfortable position of leading the investigation into this other-
worldly phenomenon. As he reluctantly pursues the answers, Roger

working scientists and environmentalists--even a college student in Kuwait
who wants to be the first Muslim woman in space--to Hollywood filmmakers,

- Nice but heavy Review by Ally
Does what it says. It's not a 'slimy' type treatment so not great at detangling, but it's very moisturizing, especially if left on for 5/10 mins. Too heavy for my fine, oily hair though. Smells divine.

- Made a noticeable improvement to my hair Review by Karen
I have used this twice now. The first time I followed the instructions and left it on my hair for 10 min before rinsing out. I did not notice a big improvement compared to using my usual conditioner.
A couple of days ago I massaged it into damp hair and left it in for several hours. It made a big improvement to the softness, shine and feel of my hair. My hairdresser cut my hair yesterday and asked for the product details, as she noticed a big improvement in my hair too.

This is a small co-op located in the village of Chambave, just east of the city of Aosta. As with Blanc de Morgex, L'Enfer D'Arvier and Donnas, this co-op emphasizes classic and stunning expressions of the individual terroirs of tiny sub-appellations (Chambave and Nus) that would otherwise be left undiscovered due to the tiny patchwork of vineyard holdings in these villages. Although there is a history of grape growing in this region since the 1200's, many of the vineyards were abandoned in the decades after WWII. They risked total extinction until the 1970's, when the Italian government stepped in to help rebuild many of these small cooperative wineries to preserve the heritage of these vineyards.
Like the vineyards of Donnas, these are steep, south-facing vineyards pasted to the sides of the mountains that soar above them. The vines grow between 450 and 1,050 meters of altitude in soils formed from millions of years of glacial runoff. These soils are very mineral and are composed largely of rocks and sand, giving a strong underlying minerality to the resulting wines. As in other mountainous regions of Italy, there is a large diurnal temperature shift which results in ample ripeness as well as refreshing acidity.
The winemaking philosophy is one that respects the underlying terroirs and indigenous varietals of the region. Although there is some barrel aging used on some of the wines, new oak is kept to a bare minimum. The grapes are all hand-harvested, and all their red wines are fermented with natural yeasts to help emphasize their individual expression.

Thread: the jab in MMA
8/21/2005 10:56pm, #1
the jab in MMA
I just saw a re-broadcast of a Nate Quarry fight. I'm sure it's due to my newness to UFC-watching, but is he once of the few guys who actually works a jab in an MMA match?
I know why it makes sense to eschew the jab for more powerful punches in MMA competition, but was really different to see a guy using one to slice up his opponent.
The jab in MMA: neglected virtue or neglected for good reason? Discuss.I dork harder than any of you can imagine.

I see jabs in MMA all the time. It's your 'newness'."Prison is for rapists, thieves and murderers. If you lock someone up for smoking a plant that makes them happy, you're the fucking criminal." - Joe Rogan

Watch the Gomi/Pulver fight for 2 guys who know how to use the jab.
I think the jab is neglected. I like it because even if you miss you are still in good position to reset/sprwl etc. You can also do more damage with it in MMA than in boxing cause of the smaller glove.
OTOH Bas Rutten says he never jabs because it leaves you open to a shoot. I disagree.

Liddel throws a jab as a counter punch and setup all the time it just looks like a lead hand cross cuz he can knock people out with it. Yet Chuck sprawls so well that it doesnt matter if they shoot on him. But Chuck is a freak when it comes to take down defense.
Its odd that Bas said he never throws a jab because if you watch his pancrase fights or his instructional videos he uses them all the time usualy as an offensive setup rather than defense though.
OTOH fans of MMA like to see fighters throw big bombs all the time and not dance around the right peppering the faces of their opponents with jabs, maybe some fighters neglect the jab in favor of entertainment. Some MMA guys have been made famous for there tremendous losses due to the fact that all they throw is huge bombs.
8/22/2005 1:43am, #5
I like to throw the counter-jab. Rarely will I use a leading jab. If I do throw a leading jab in an MMA match its a flicking one that comes at an upward angle. I've gotten into disagreements with other MMA coaches out there over this one. Their arguement is that jabs aren't that useful in MMA you would only use it as a feeling out process. I think that type of thought leads you to a bit onesidedness that prevented many people from throwing spinning techniques when now you're seeing them work.

What I have always heard was wrestlers will time your jabs and then eat one on the way into a takedown. This might be slightly dated though as most strikers can defend the takedown very solidly now. I would say if you are a straight striker with bad takedown defense the jab might be risky to use again and again, but if your wrestling/ground game is solid jab away.Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?
8/22/2005 9:22am, #7Originally Posted by TylerDurden
"traditional" jabs don't work. There has to be a bit ooomf in them and don't throw them in a pattern. 1-2 or 2-1 combo tends to work the best.

"On the street or in a boxing or Thai boxing match, a jab can be effective if your opponent knows nothing about wrestling or submissions. If you jab against a wrestler he will take you down, if you punch with power he has to block the punch, he can still take you down but at least there is a chance to KO him, which will not work with a jab. It is difficult; in order to hit somebody you have to close the distance, against a wrestler that can be the takedown.
For me even in striking I dont like to throw jabs, I like everything with power so that your opponent has to think about not getting KOd. It will open more ways to land your next strike. This is how I think, some disagree. "
- Bas Rutten
just a thought.
8/22/2005 10:06am, #9
I don't think it has to be one or the other. Ali (not MMA, I know) used his jab to feel out opponents and for defense as well as to damage and set-up. A firm fast jab can do all of these things.
I.e. Quarry v. Sincain. Quarry's jab broke up Sincain's attack so he couldn't move in to land big shots or leg kicks. In addition to having his plan ruined, each time he got jabbed he was a little dented or swollen. Double-duty jab, which is what all the "boxing purist" folks say it should be.
You know, because it's so terribly easy to do we can call just do it now ready set go.I dork harder than any of you can imagine.

jabs are a great way to set the shoot, opponent tends to block up opening waist line for a good shoot.

Labour MPs watched in silence as Gordon Brown was returned to 10 Downing Street after PMQ's today.
William Hague said yesterday that the government are 'a row of political corpses now'.
If that is so, then someone somewhere is artificially ventilating the Brown cadaver, for by all the laws of putrification he should be decently buried by now. His Home Secretary, His Cabinet Minister, His Communities Secretary, His Children's Minister, have fled - not fired, which might have reinforced his authority, nor reshuffled, which might have restored his credibility, but simply run screaming out the door - ostensibly for reasons, which have been valid for some weeks, but which suddenly proved irresistible two days before an important election.
The rolling news is reminiscent of listening to the football results on an old valve radio……Backbenchers 2, Cabinet Ministers 4………Hurrah! we all shout, as we fill in another cross on the coupon. We should cease feeling so elated - for these are 'own goals', handed to us on a plate - we, the electorate, have no power to insist that any of them leave until next year. The Queen has no power to insist that any of them leave until next year. The Labour party has no power to insist that Gordon Brown leaves.
The convention is, that a Prime Minister, so patently mistrusted and disliked by his own 'team', never mind the electorate, would do the honourable thing, and step aside out of embarrassment. PMQ's today was an atmosphere of pregnant expectation, street theatre as Cameron and Clegg played to the gallery, knowing full well that they were suffering from 'Constitutional Droop' and firing verbal blanks.
The loyal troops - Toynbee advising her devotees not to vote Labour, the Guardian helpfully publishing a 'wish list' that involves Gordon Brown being forced from office by June 9th, have deserted him, even the party political broadcasts cannot find anything positive to say in Brown's favour, they leave him out of their broadcast altogether and focus on the 'terrible alternatives'.
'Better Brown than Dead' seems to be the message.
Is it a case of the oft hinted autism that leaves the man able to deliver his wooden message of 'it started in America', 'hard working British families', parodied to such ruthless effect, without hint of appearing to notice the anger around him, or is someone, somewhere, stiffening his resolve, persuading him to hang in there, for some greater good - theirs for instance?
I had even started to wonder whether Mandelson was on that ill fated flight 477 from Brazil, so quiet has he been.

Middle Tennessee State wants to end up in the NCAA Tournament.
The Blue Raiders will get a chance to prove they belong – in front of a national audience.
MTSU's matchup at Sun Belt Conference rival Denver on Feb. 4 will be aired on either ESPN or ESPN2 at 3 p.m. (CST), the network announced Wednesday. The station will be finalized seven to 10 days prior to the game.
At 15-2, the Blue Raiders are off to their best since the 1974-75 season. They are 4-0 in Sun Belt play and sit atop the East Division. MTSU rides a seven-game winning streak – tied for the longest during head coach Kermit Davis' 10-year tenure – into a road contest at FIU on Thursday.
The Blue Raiders lead the conference in field-goal shooting percentage (49.5 percent), while Denver is second (48.1 percent). The Pioneers rank first in the league in scoring defense (59.2 points allowed). MTSU is a close second, allowing just 61.1 points a game.
Denver (13-3, 3-1) sits in second in the West and has won seven of eight.

Celebrity Chefs at Home: José Andrés
When not in his multiple restaurants, enthusiastic chef José Andrés loves to entertain friends, family, and fellow chefs in his home. These days he's got his sights set on some pretty influential famous foodies.
Famed Spanish chef José Andrés has been credited with bringing Spanish cuisine to the American stage. Though he's a leading authority on the gastronomy of Spain, he's no one-trick pony. His restaurants dance across the globe, highlighting cuisines from Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and, of course, Spain. His prowess in the kitchen brought him into the limelight, but it was Andrés's vibrancy that led to his PBS cooking show, Made in Spain. When not on TV, developing menus, or authoring cookbooks, Andrés enjoys time at home with wife Patricia and their three daughters. There, he has an open-door policy, often hosting friends, family, and fellow chefs. He believes that a good meal is as much about the people as it is about the food and wine.
DELISH: Describe your style in three words.
JOSÉ ANDRÉS: Modern, fun, bright.
DELISH: What's your favorite room in the house?
JA: The kitchen, of course! My kitchen has every tool and gadget. It is open and bright, and connects to an informal dining area and family room. It is the heart of our home, where we spend most of our time together as a family.
DELISH: What's the one thing in the kitchen you couldn't live without?
JA: My juicer. I have to have fresh-squeezed orange juice in the morning. Or maybe my Iberico ham! It took years to bring it to America!
DELISH: What's an ideal day at home?
JA: Get up and have a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, head to the farmers' market with my daughters, then come home and cook.
DELISH: When you just want to make something simple, quick, and delicious, what do you prepare?
JA: Gazpacho, the classic chilled tomato soup from southern Spain. My wife's recipe is the best, and we always keep a pitcher in the refrigerator.
DELISH: If you were to invite a famous person to your house for a meal (any meal) — who would it be, what would you prepare, and why?
JA: I want to throw a dinner party with people whom I admire. I would be able to bend space and time and have the following [food personalities] around the table: Ferran Adrià (my mentor), Escoffier, Julia Child, Appert (who invented the process of canning), chef Thomas Keller, Harold McGee, to talk about the why behind food, author Irma Rombauer, Ruperto de Nola, who wrote one of the first cookbooks in Europe, and Apicius.
DELISH: Okay, that's quite a list! But back to reality. Who are your favorite people to host at home?
JA: The people I care about. After all, food is about nourishing and about caring.
Look for Chef Andrés's companion cookbook to his PBS show, Made in Spain: Spanish Dishes for the American Kitchen, to hit shelves in November 2008.

A record attendance shouted "Long live the King!" and shouted "Draco Invictus!," their acclaim and devotion as Lutr crowned his lady, Tessa, Queen. The whole of the hall then came to pledge their fealty to the new King and Queen. King Lutr received His subjects with a gracious and quiet smile. Queen Tessa was visibly moved, with trembling chin and tears in Her eyes. The deep love of the people for their Sovereigns was very clear.
King Lutr and Queen Tessa had their previous reign cut short a week ago due to a brief lapse in their membership during their tenure as Price and Princess. Two Crown Tourneys were to be fought today, May 25, 2008. The first was to fill the empty thrones, the second to determine the Royal Heirs.
Fifteen fighters came forward for this historic tourney. Twelve of the fifteen were members of the Chivalry. The tourney was fought with "great heart," as former Dragon Herald Thorvald Redhair said. There was hardly a dry eye in the hall. Even so, high spirits and good humor filled the list in the finals. Opening his statement regarding the last bout, Duke Dag slipped a bit. "The chivalry has been convicted… I mean conflicted this day…" bringing some laughter from the silent and anxious crowd. Regent Palymar of the Two Baronies further demonstrated the good nature of the Regency period by admonishing the tourney victor to "Pay attention…" prior to reciting the responsibilities of the Crown.
The quarter finalists of the tourney included Duke Brannos (for Duchess Rebekah), who battled Duke Dag (fighting for Countess Anna Marie) and Sir Theodric von Rostock (fighting for Runa Eikbrandrskona), who battled with Sir Lutr. Duke Dag defeated Duke Brannos. Sir Lutr defeated Sir Theodric. Duke Dag and Sir Lutr then fought to where Sir Lutr was within one win and Duke Dag was within two. Duke Dag then ceded the fight to his King. Thus the succession of the Middle Kingdom was ensured.

How To Face Your Fears And Start Feeling Free
01, Sep 2012 | no comments
Facing your fears is the only way to become free from them. Ignoring them doesn't work and I would know because I've tried everything possible to avoid mine. Since I was little I've always hated being in the center of attention (hated is an understatement). Anytime I was public speaking I would start to shake, heart rate would race and […]Read more

Yet another personal first as a result of The Brew Club! Tsingtao is my very first beer from China! If you've read any of the other posts on this site, you'll already know that Lagers generally do not get me overly excited. Even lagers that people are nuts about, usually don't move me in a soulful, metaphysical type of way that some Ales do. Its a personal thing I guess, and I try to give each beer I sample a fair shake.
As a result, I didn't have great expectations about this Tsingtao Lager beer from China, but I was soon to be pleasantly surprised! As a matter of fact, I believe that this Tsingtao stuff is the best Lager I've tried so far!
The Chinese beer looks like a typical lager in the glass – very pale yellow, typical white head that quickly diminishes into almost nothing, hardly any lacing and nothing special in the scent department either.
Where I was surprised was how good this beer tasted, which, of course, is what really matters! It was mildly hoppy, had a very light mouthfeel, and didn't leave much of an aftertaste at all. This beer was crisp, but did not have any bite or burn, and in fact I found it to be very refreshing!
Overall, the Tsingtao lager from China in the green bottle is among the few lagers that I've tried on the Brew Club.com that I would actually go out and buy again. It was an overall enjoyable experience and would recommend that you give it a try if you are looking for something other than the "usual". You won't be surprised by the beer – it's not a WOW kind of good, but I think you will be surprised at how good this beer is in a "wow?" subtle kind of way.

2010 Energy Use Report Card Shows Progress
- Details
- Created: Friday, 28 January 2011 00:00
The Greenfield Energy Use report card, published today, shows a decrease in the average household energy use in Greenfield over the past four years. The average reduction ranges from 3.1% and 12.8% over the four years, depending on the type of fuel used. This translates into a savings of over $300,000 for Greenfield residents during this time for reductions in electricity use alone. The analysis was done by the Greening Greenfield Energy Committee (GGEC) to see if their 10% Challenge is actually working.
"We were thrilled to see that, overall, household energy use is going down," said Susan Worgaftik, co-chair of the Greenfield 10% Challenge. "This shows that people are taking their commitment to the 10% Challenge seriously, and saving a lot of money. To get an average energy use reduction means that some people are cutting their energy from 10-70%, even though others are still using what they have always used."
The report looked at average household use of oil, natural gas, and electricity. Energy use data for 2006-2009 was supplied by Sandri Companies, Berkshire Gas, and Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO.
The report card gives an A to those people who use oil for heating their homes for drastically reducing their heating oil consumption. Over the last four years, the average number of gallons used for heating by residential households decreased from 709 gallons in 2006 to 618 gallons in 2009. Assuming $3 per gallon, this translates into an annual average savings of $273 per household! People who use natural gas were given a B+ for their 5.5% reduction. Electricity users, which includes approximately 8000 households in Greenfield, received a C+ because they reduced use by only 3.1% over that same period. To get an A, energy use in each category must be reduced by 1.8% annually or 7.2% every 4 years, so that Greenfield can achieve its goal of reducing energy use by 80% by 2050.
"Although we did not reach our goals in every category, it is really gratifying to see this trend in energy use reduction," said Nancy Hazard, GGEC member, who analyzed the data. "People could argue that these numbers have not been adjusted for how cold the winter was, or how much wood people are using instead of oil or gas, but we suspect that the majority of the savings are because people have changed their behaviors or done energy upgrades in their homes through Mass Save, Community Action, or on their own. In any case, if we keep track of our use for the next 40 years, the success of our efforts to reduce our energy use and become independent of fossil fuels will become clear."
"Greening Greenfield would like to thank everyone who has taken the 10% Challenge and urge them to keep up the great work!" said Becca King, co-chair of the Greenfield 10% Challenge. "We'd also like to invite those who have not yet joined the Challenge to join us, and we will send you a list of things you can do to save energy and save money. It is fun being a detective and making your home more comfortable!"
The 2010 Energy Use Report Card and 10% Challenge were created by the Greening Greenfield Energy Committee, which works with the town and uses 'greening' as the inspirational and economic engine to build a sustainable Greenfield so current and future generations can enjoy life in this beautiful, abundant valley.
The report card, 10% Challenge's 900 heroes, tips on how you can reduce your energy use, and information on how to join the 10% Challenge are displayed in Copy Cat Print Shop's window on Main Street. Handouts are inside. The report card was designed by Stacy Metzger. For additional information go to www.GreeningGreenfield.org or call 773-7004.

Winning in Retail Hiring For High Point Market Retailers 2016
"Winning" is a big word in 2016 with the imminent Presidential election. Retailers across the country struggle with the "revolving door" of staff especially in the high rent areas like New York and San Francisco.
Winning involves successfully identifying, recruiting and training staff. These are activities which are essential yet comprise a huge time sync.
Many retailers are not schooled in how to truly identify the best hire. They often need some "refreshment" insights in order to find new ways to look at candidates. While they may know what "feels" like the best fit, there are specific tools that can help them refine their process and make it "spot on".
How do you define the "best fit"? Marketing Home Furnishings encourages retailers to always be on the "hunt" for motivated talent. Many times retailers make "desperation hires" and this rarely works out and proves to be a very costly strategy. No question that this is one alternative to having no one on the retail floor but, again, can be very, very expensive in time and money.
Marketing Home Furnishings finds a kindred spirit in Shane Spiller, a retailer who "lays it out" from experience and encourages retailers to sort for "passion". We agree that this particular attribute is significant in an employee.
For more read….
Is Your Retail Hiring in the Toilet?
Beyond "passion", what other key attributes are mission critical?
Below are Five Important Aspects that Retailers Need to Study and Pay Attention to in Interviews with prospective hires.
Ability to Focus: Needs to be able to focus on the demands of the moment).
Follow up: Does what they commit to do
Conceptual Analytical Abilities (allows one to "think on their feet" with customers).
Distractibility: Retail hiring authorities need to discern if an individual is so distractible that they cannot actually perform the required tasks of the job in an appropriate amount of time.
Communication Style: Is this person an individual who is sharp toned and shows "crital affect", anger or frustration easily? Conversely, is the person a more "positive" communicator?
There are diagnostic scouting assessments that can help a retailer figure all of these interpersonal and attentional dimensions out. These assessments can be used very successfully in figuring out the "best profile" for one's retail environment as well identifying prospective candidates who fit the profile. In addition, diagnostic assessments can be used very successfully as a training and coaching tool for all employees.

Yes, very evindent! I know this is getting here late, but I've had a tough time looging on to fort tonight. After watching the dates tonight, with a very open mind, I would have to say it's Chirs all the way. As she has stated, her expressions don't lie...watch her facial expressions with Chris, completely different tban with anyone else.Originally Posted by MiniDiva;3965235;
They always have a choice. Even if the contract says they "have to do" interviews for X amount of time, ABC cannot come to their residence and physically force them to go. Some of them may feel like they have no choice, but in reality they do. ABC would, IMO, never sue anyone for not going because that would expose their secrets and tricks to the world. They don't want that.Originally Posted by MsDll;3965474;
I think the only woman who would put up with Jake, especially after seeing that mess, is a robot from that movie Stepford Wives with Nicole Kidman. I don't usually say anything about a person's psychological state based on these shows, since they're so edited. But something is seriously not "right" with Jake. Grade A sexism aside even, the elevator doesn't seem to go to the top floor.
It was definitely filmed in Tahiti. Wonder why they felt the need to have to drop some after-the-fact doubt in there?Originally Posted by Tiggerlgh;3965453;
And, Ali, if anyone ever wondered why you didn't enjoy living in the same house as Vienna...they now understand. I'd take an ice pick to my brain if I had to live with her.
Girls will make passes
At boys who lose their glasses
I'll find them for you.
I think we were separated at birth, VAgirl79! I agree with everything you said, especially the bolded parts. That Jake should be thoroughly ashamed of himself. I wasn't for either of them, but I believed Vienna's story. I'm sure they're both exaggerating to some extent, but I can just see him acting all king of the world at home. It really hit me when they showed clips of him backstage with Chelsie. So pompous. No wonder Chelsie's attitude changed so much last season. I hope I never have to see him again on my tv.Originally Posted by VAgirl79;3965465;
Ali dodged a bullet with that one, but then she goes ahead and falls for that louse, Frank! Ugh! Never before, in all the previous episodes of TB, have there been such nice, hot guys in the final 5 and she falls for Frank. I know, the heart wants what the heart wants but give me a break! Sometimes the heart needs a reality check. She can't keep falling for the same type. If the rumors are true and she doesn't pick anyone at the end, I hope she has an Aha! moment before ATFR show and looks up one the ones she left behind. She can't go wrong with either Roberto or Chris, although I do think that they could do better themselves.
I fully agree with the second bolded, and I remember Melissa having to put up with the first. I think Vienna put up with what Melissa had to deal with.Originally Posted by VAgirl79;3965478;
A West Coaster Here...
But I just feel that Roberto's lines are scripted and a bit chessy (the dancing in the street bit) OK ducking now...

J would like to have a pen pal
I didn't really see any connection between her and Chris. She seems all over Frank though...
I don't know what to say. I don't get what is going on. How is Chris not the F1?
Big: You know, Manhattan has a lot of beautiful women.
Carrie: What an amazing observation!
Big: But the thing is, after awhile, you just wanna be with the one who makes you laugh.

Oh, Lindsay Lohan,, where are your manners. You know when visiting mom after her arrests you need to wear a bra. I mean, don't do it for my sake, I was perfectly content to see serious sideboob from the recovering actress as she went to Long Island to visit her obviously not recovering mother. Who do you think gave Lindsay her great sense of style in the first place?
I guess for that, we have to thank Dina. She may be the worst mother in the history of human existence, well, save for the ones in real prisons, but she did give us Lindsay hooters. We'll always have Paris, Dina. Enjoy.

The Value of a Marketing Service
Theres a saying in business that Nothing happens until somebody sells something. Without sales, a company has no reason for existence and no profit to survive on. Thats where marketing comes into play. Promotional merchandise, advertising and press releases are all part of the tools that help you share your companys personality and name with the public. However, most small business owners do not have the time or know-how to create an effective marketing plan or supporting materials. By outsourcing their marketing needs, small business owners can better focus their energy and time on the operations of their business.
The Benefits of Using Enterprise Business Consultants Marketing Services
Most experienced advertising agencies and consulting firms charge service rates that prohibit small businesses from outsourcing their marketing. As a result, small business owners are forced to choose between creating their own marketing or relying on independent contractors or moonlighters to produce company advertising. Both choices can lead to unprofessional or incomplete projects. Enterprise Business Consultants, Inc.s (EBC) Marketing Services eliminate this difficult choice by providing quality and professional marketing services at a cost that is affordable for small to mid-sized businesses. EBC Marketing Services are backed by the security of the Enterprise name, like Enterprise Bank. So small business owners can feel confident that the company they are working with is competent and dependable. They can feel more secure with EBCs experience and industry knowledge than with an unknown independent contractor or employee who happens to be skilled at using clip art.

WELCOME to 2013 and congratulations are in order for having all made it together with your faculties. It is an awesome privilege to be alive at such a time as this.
Before we all rush off and put down the traditional resolutions and goals, tarry for a moment and do things differently in 2013. Many of us silently agree we do have limiting beliefs that keep us shackled in mediocrity, and much of the financial anguish we experienced in 2012 was just a manifestation of these deep-seated beliefs.
Before you conclude your 2013 goals answer the following question: Is your job a call that you were born to do which gives you total fulfilment or it is just one of those optical illusions that you persist in because it gives you an image of security?
With these talks of fiscal cliffs, do you just want something which brings in a guaranteed monthly income that covers the usual bills although you totally hate what you do? If that is you, then you probably are shackled to some form of limiting beliefs.
Limiting beliefs are false beliefs that we acquire as a result of making an incorrect conclusion about something in life. Limiting beliefs are usually subconscious, operating below the level of awareness most of the time and only manifesting through limiting side effects when we try to pursue ambitious goals.
Many limiting beliefs were installed in early childhood served as mental shortcuts to keep us safe. A belief is defined as an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. Beliefs are not always based on truth and fact but often on what we have heard, observed or was taught. We form beliefs because they help simplify our lives.
Limiting beliefs can hold us back from achieving what we want converting our technically possible goals into effectively impossible fantasies. If you believe that you were unlucky in 2012, you look for the facts that support this, but also open your mind and start searching for the facts that suggest otherwise in 2013. As you prove your limiting belief wrong, the weaker it becomes, until it eventually fades away and has no power over you anymore.
If limiting beliefs held you back in 2012 from happiness and your true potential by reminding you of the fact that you are not good enough, do not let them imprison you in 2013. Even if you do manage to follow your heart and take action towards your dreams, your limiting beliefs will subconsciously cause you to sabotage your progress until you unmask it. The biggest differences between those who succeed and those who do not is the ability to identify and eliminate limiting beliefs.
Those of us who have been natured in a faith-based environment have advanced the belief that money is the root of all evil while the biblical quote this belief is derived from actually says "the love of money is the root of all evil." A number of us were brought up hearing stereotype generalizations such as "to get rich you have to lie, bribe and cheat"; "rich people use other people to make their money so they are rich because we are poor", "you cannot be rich and spiritual" and "rich people use evil 'muti' and goblins to make money". These thoughts linger in the cobwebs of our minds preventing the attraction of abundance.
I have seen lots of rich people who lie and cheat but I have also witnessed hordes of poor people lying and cheating. Can you joyfully make money if your values and beliefs are unconsciously reminding you that money is evil? Is it the money that is really evil or the behaviour of those who do not know how to use money wisely? Money is a tool and like anything else in life, money can be thought of and used in a constructive or destructive fashion.
When you start working on your 2013 goals, your limiting beliefs will rarely express themselves openly. Usually they will manifest by influencing your thinking and behaviours in ways that stop you from implementing your goals.
A scarcity mindset is a limiting belief that can hold you back in many ways. Some of us have grown up with very limiting beliefs around wealth and abundance. You may have an unconscious negative perception about wealth, abundance and money.Negative money habits and financial beliefs place an emotional ceiling on your ability to produce unlimited prosperity, abundance and wealth.
For a long time it was universally acknowledged that the human body was physically incapable of running a mile in under four minutes until Roger Bannister came along and ran it in 3:59 back in 1954. Since then, runners have been steadily breaking this record. There was a time you could have solicited laughter to suggest the earth is round but these beliefs have changed.
Your money beliefs dictate your financial health and well being. We tend to lie to ourselves in order to protect our fragile egos by telling ourselves getting by is good enough. Ask yourself if you are happy with your financial situation. If not, is it because you believe it's hard to make money? Is it because you believe that you are not smart enough to set up your own business? Is it because you think you can't get a better job?
In South Africa where I live, the current societal attitudes with a widening gap between the rich and poor are something to apologize for and feel guilty about. That is why the new deputy president of the ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa had to go on record and apologise for bidding for a rare breed of buffalo for a couple of million rand at a public auction.
Stop reinforcing debilitating beliefs like "No matter what I do I can never get ahead" or "People like me don't have a lot of money". Do you believe you are smart enough, talented enough and good enough to become wealthy? Do you believe you have the right to be paid for doing something you really enjoy doing?
You can create new beliefs in 2013 such as: I was created as a magnificent, intelligent, and talented individual with a unique gift to give this earth. Stop embracing poverty in 2013 and say to yourself it is natural for me to be fulfilled, satisfied, successful and happy.

David Edward Wilda lived for and loved automobiles and the open road.
His mother said he enjoyed working on cars and was fascinated by the history of the old U.S. Route 66 that once ran through Will County.
But Sunday night, as Wilda walked with his girlfriend along a sidewalk on Jefferson Street in Joliet, the 15-year-old was killed by a car that police say was driven by a drunken driver.
"(David and his girlfriend) were talking and laughing and having a good time, and then he was hit by some drunk," said Antoinette Wilda, David's mother. "It's just not right."
Joliet police Lt. Dave Farmer said Wilda was struck from behind by a 1980 Plymouth Champ just after 7 p.m. Sunday. The girl was not hurt.
The driver, 20-year-old Arcado Pintor, of 708 Garnsey Ave., Joliet, was charged with reckless homicide, driving under the influence and driving without insurance. Pintor has no driver's license.
On Monday afternoon, Judge Kathleen G. Kallen ordered Pintor held in the Will County Jail on $75,000 bond. Kallen set Pintor's next court appearance for Friday afternoon.
Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil said Wilda died from multiple internal injuries. He was pronounced dead at 7:55 p.m. at St. Joseph's Medical Center.
Witnesses told police they saw Pintor's car heading westbound on Jefferson at a high rate of speed when it struck Wilda.
One of those witnesses, a Joliet man whom police would not identify, said he jumped in his car and began chasing Pintor for several blocks until Pintor turned south on Raynor Avenue and another witness joined the chase.
Pintor then abandoned his car and fled on foot, Farmer said. The two men continued to chase him and caught Pintor several blocks later and held him until Joliet police arrived.
Antoinette Wilda said that her son, a sophomore at Joliet Central High School, was a "likable, helpful kid who wouldn't have hurt anyone."
In addition to being a member of the Route 66 Association of Illinois and the Route 66 Roadrunners, Wilda worked as a telephone volunteer during the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Labor Day Telethon.
"Whenever the family had a problem with one of the cars, David was the first to help," she said. "He was always helping others with one thing or another. That's just the way he was."
Visitation and services have been scheduled for Wednesday at the Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 251 N. Center St., Joliet.
