Article advertising and marketing is among the most potent strategies for web advertising and marketing. Articles have at all times been used even earlier than the arrival of web to create model consciousness, push merchandise and create a enterprise picture in print publications. With the arrival of web, article advertising and marketing has exploded and is getting used as the first automobile to advertise, promote and inform about merchandise, providers and net presence.
Articles carry worth and belief
What number of occasions have you ever taken curiosity and hung out studying a number of hundred phrases of commercial copy? The possibilities are that you simply or anyone for that matter has hardly ever achieved so. However studying articles is one thing executed voluntarily and it carries belief and worth compared to plain commercial copy. The gross sales message or suggestive textual content resulting in some product, data or an internet hyperlink may be very refined and completed in a covert trend.
This subtlety in articles does what an aggressive gross sales message can't hope to do, as a result of most people who find themselves focused merely dislike the in-your-face kind of onerous promote ways. When a reader is gently led to a plan of action, it occurs with out their even realizing it.
Distinctive and authentic content material is the important thing
Easy copy paste of stolen content material will shortly kill your article advertising marketing campaign as quickly as it's launched. If this was permitted, cyber house shall be carrying hundreds of articles of precisely similar content material penned by totally different names and defeat the very goal of drawing on-line neighborhood to the web.
Nothing both on-line or offline is 100% unique analysis. Each writer or author attracts data and knowledge from numerous sources. Making use of a private contact, angle, twist and choice of phrases and phrases to what she or he has gathered within the article makes it distinctive and unique.
The search engine algorithms and highly effective software program weed out duplicate content material and bury such articles deep into the cyber wilderness to be by no means discovered once more.

In my opinion Street Feast is one of the best things to happen to London in a very long time. An outdoor urban dining experience with a lively, carnival-party atmosphere, Street Feast is where the capital's best independent street food traders get together to serve affordable, imaginative dishes to an up-for-it and food-loving crowd. The traders themselves are a wicked bunch, as evangelical about their produce as the folk they serve, and I'm unashamedly a huge fan.
Whenever I visit I always make a beeline for Spit & Roast for one of their signature buttermilk-fried chicken burgers (which I swear have orgasmic properties!), served with crunchy kimchi and laced with a seriously spicy hot sauce (but nowhere near as hot as The Ribman's Holy Fuck!) they have to be my favourite thing to eat at Street Feast. Followed closely by Luardos, authentic Mexican street-food served from a candy-pink truck named Mary (the other one is named Jesus H Van!) the smoky chipotle beef burritos are legendary, and I always love a natter with owner Simon and the lovely Brittany. Another must-Feast of is Kimchi Cult for tangy, sweet and spicy Korean street-food, their Kimchi burgers are downright awesome. When I fancy something sweet I pay Stacy and Alex who are The Meringue Girls a visit for some of their deliciously crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle meringue kisses. A treat on the eyes as well as the tongue, they come in an array of candy colours and innovative flavour pairings and are almost, just almost, too pretty to eat. If I've got any room after that (I have a healthy appetite!) then paying street-food Godfathers The Ribman and Big Apple Hotdogs is a given.
Oh and not forgetting the bar (of course!), curated by the folk behind Rotary Bar & Diner the cocktail list is fantastically vast and the selection of artisan London-brewed craft beers is simply superb, I love Camden Town Brewery's Pale Ale. Or if you fancy really getting off to a banging start then go for one of the "festival size" cocktails, served in pint glasses they're blow-your-back-doors-off-strong!
Street Feast are only at their current home at Merchant Yard on Kingsland Road for the next two weekends, so if you've not yet been then I urge you to do so. However if you've plans this weekend and the next (get you!) then fret not as they're back in a new guise as Truck Stop in Docklands on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th July. Promising to be London's largest convergences of street food trucks ever I can't blumming wait! You can buy tickets here.
Street Feast are at Merchant Yard, 317 – 319 Kingsland Road, E8 4DL. For more info and to check who will be trading visit www.streetfeastlondon.com

A Nissan LEAF uses one of the two charging stations located in the F5 parking lot, Apr. 21. They are the only fast-charge stations on campus and can charge a drive range between 60 to 80 miles in about 20 minutes. Photo Credit: Lucas Esposito / Daily Sundial
In continuing to work toward reducing commuter emissions and miles by faculty, staff and students, CSUN has added additional electric vehicle charging stations on campus while mechanical engineering students develop alternative energy charging stations.
An updated set of electric charging stations were installed on campus in fall of 2013, as part of the campus sustainability plan.
The plan to reduce emissions and pollution was first enabled in fall 2012 by CSUN President Dianne Harrison, through the CSUN Institute for Sustainability and Physical Plant Management.
The current charging stations acquire power through the existing electrical power stored in CSUN's main power grid, which consists of traditional and solar energy.
There are currently eight electric vehicle charging stations on campus. Two stations are located in the F5 parking lot, there are stations in B4, G3 and G9.
Additional stations will be located in B2 and G4 parking lots.
The CSUN Department of Parking and Transportation and the senior design class are working in a joint effort to develop energy efficiency by using solar energy.
Abhijit Mukherjee, faculty director of the Energy Research Center of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, explained how students use alternative energy in the form of solar power in order to bring power to the charging stations.

Ginger oil helped my dog stop vomiting
This morning, Smile (toy poodle) vomited. I reached for the Young Living Ginger essential oil. I put one drop on my hands, rubbed them together in a circular fashion. (With essential oils less is more. Start with small amount and see how they do. You can always add another drop, but start small.) I applied the oil to her coat on her back by petting her. Within a short period of time, she had no more vomiting.
The Ginger oil has been used for nausea and car sickness. Do not use Ginger oil on animals that are bleeding as it can act as an anti-coagulant. Ginger oil information taken from Animal Desk Reference book and EODR: digestive aid, expectorant, rheumatism,respiratory infections, congestion, muscular aches and nausea.
Di Gize ( a blend of Young Living essential oils) contains Ginger. Di Gize has been noted to aid in digestive issues.
I recommend Young Living oils for their quality and purity. Young Living Blends that include Ginger are Abundance, ComfortTone, EndoGize and Magnify Your Purpose.

Five minutes with Ian Robinson, Khansaheb Group FM
fmME delves below corporate strategy to understand what makes the region's FM professionals tick
What does your role involve?
Leading the operational delivery for all our contracts in the UAE, ensuring we are delivering service excellence for our customers through our talented site teams. I'm also responsible for our soft and hard FM training teams, who ensure we are sharing best practice and innovation across all our contracts, delivering BICSc compliance and developing solutions for new contract tenders.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with and developing people. I'm blessed to have an incredibly passionate and diverse team of people, which generates a variety of ideas of how better to serve our customers and continue the growth we have achieved over the past three years.
What is the most memorable project and why?
Leading the mobile MEP division for a previous business, which had historically underperformed both financially and in customer satisfaction. Under a new system we worked closely with the client to understand their priorities, and developed a realistic plan to turn the division around and we succeeded in over-delivering on our objectives.
What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
The UAE market is particularly challenging in terms of client budgets with the current financial climate. So helping clients understand the long term value of quality FM services is always difficult when there are short term priorities for them to achieve the lowest headline price. We work closely with them to understand their priorities and help provide them with a range of solutions to best fit their short and long term business strategies.
Where do you see the FM industry in 5 years?
Six years ago I said energy management solutions, and I believe the same applies today. As an industry, I think the slow start made to embedding energy management into FM is accelerating with both clients and service providers united in their efforts to achieve the UAE's 2030 vision. We've begun working with SmartAE on the Etihad ESCO framework to retrofit residential properties to make them more energy efficient.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I love comedy and it's great to see so many international acts coming over to Dubai. I have a soft spot for Dubai's restaurant scene and try to check out old and new haunts.

Getting your Kids to Eat Healthy Lunches
I have yet to meet a parent who loves packing school lunches. It is one of those daunting things we have to think about as the start of the school year approaches.
In our family, we are inching our way towards a time when the kids can pack their own lunches. We are using school lunch pack-out as a way to help them learn about healthy eating. Each year their school lunch responsibilities increase.
To get my kids thinking about what makes a healthy lunch, I categorized foods based on what they do in the body. I want to teach my kids that food effects how they think, feel, act and function and help them pick foods accordingly.
So this is how we pull together our lunches.
Energy Food
A steady supply of wholesome carbohydrate throughout the day will provide energy. A portion size is about the size of your child's hand or fist; include 2 portions of energy foods per lunch.
Sources include: Grains and grain flour, Dairy, Starchy vegetables such as potatoes, beets, sweet potatoes, squash; Legumes and pulses like beans, lentils, split peas.
Energy drinks do not count in this category. They give you energy by stimulating your nervous system, not by nourishing your body.
Growth Food
These are foods high in protein. Protein helps the muscles, bones and skin stay healthy and strong and also helps the body produce chemicals like enzymes and hormones that keep all your systems running smoothly. A portion size is about the size of your child's palm; Include 1 portion of growth food per lunch
Sources include: Eggs, fish, meat, dairy, legumes and pulses.
NOTE: legumes, pulses and dairy contain significant carbohydrate and protein and can therefore count in both the Energy and Growth categories. If you are using them to cover both categories, increase the quantity.
Brain Foods
These are foods high in healthy fats. Healthy fats keep your brain and skin healthy and your immune system strong. Include healthy fat in the form of oil or food. Include 1-2 teaspoons of oil or 1/4 cup of high fat food
Some sources: avocado, olives, seeds, coconut, whole yogurt or milk
Vegetables are important for their fibre, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. Blend them into your main dish (like chili or spaghetti sauce, for example) or have them as a side snack. Include at least one type of vegetable in your lunch, but the more the better!
Examples: carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes (though technically they're fruit), cucumber slices, toasted seaweed, celery sticks, kale chips
Fruit contains phytonutrients, fibre, vitamins and minerals important for growth. Fruit also contains carbohydrates which will give the body energy. A serving of fruit for a lunch is about the sized of your child's hand or fist; include 1-2 serving of fruit per lunch.
Fruit juice, fruit strips, fruit gummies or any other refined fruit product is not the same as whole fruit. These contain more concentrated sugar and less fibre and nutrients than whole fruit.
Examples: small cluster of grapes, apple slices, sliced oranges, dried apricot or fig, raisins, apple sauce, pear sauce
Water is essential to the growing body and working brain. Be sure to bring a reusable water bottle to school and drink throughout the day. If they don't like water, try putting cooled herbal tea (mixed berry, mint etc) in their water bottle. A child should be drinking about 1 1/2 liters of water throughout the day.
These are treats. While they might include foods from one or more of the other categories (a granola bar, for example), they are considered "extra" because they are small and tend to be higher in sugar. We don't want this treat to replace the other more healthy options
Special notes
You might decide your child needs more than the portions outlined here, especially if they are very active or are staying for an after school program. Adjust your portions according to your child's needs to be sure there is ample food available to them.
Always remember to check in with your child's teacher to find out what foods need to be avoided in your class due to allergy and adjust accordingly.
In my family, we printed up a chart for the fridge which lists options for each category. That way we can plan our lunches and make sure they are nutritionally balanced.
This article includes information taken from the Parent's Guide included in my LunchBox Love package - a resource to help parents pack healthy school lunches available at www.jesssherman.com for the month of september.

2/5/16 …11:20 AM Biotechs Can't Hold Gains …Drop Back Near 52 Week Lows Hit Wednesday
Update-2 At Close 2/4/16… Nice Rally But Off Earlier Highs-Very Stock Specific
A nice snap-back rally with a lot of green screen across the board. A tradeable rally but we need follow-through next week. Your favorite stock should be up today or you need re-balancing. Notable winner Intrexon (XON) up 12%; notable loser Ultragenyx (RARE) down 7.18%. First IPO Editas Medicine (EDIT) focused in genome editing up $2.50 from $16 opening raising $94.4M Wednesday.
IBB up 0.26%, holds technical bottom near $262, XBI up 2% to $50, 52 week low at $46.86.
Rayno New Picks: ABBV flat, GILD up 0.34%, BLUE up 8.79%.
Update-1… 11 am EST… Broad Biotech Rally Underway
IBB up over 2%, XBI up over 4%
Technical Bottom of $262 on IBB Holds
New Buys in Biotech: Two Good Values ABBV, GILD and One Speculative Play BLUE
Biotech Stocks Are Still Risky But Are Due For A Rally
Yesterday we published our first installment of the Rayno Life Science Portfolio for 2016. We believe large cap biopharmaceutical stocks will be less volatile and will outperform small caps as the sector bottoms in Q1 2016. The biotech sector is down over 20% YTD and has been in a bear market since September 2015 despite a Q4 rally. Unlike market trends in 2015 the biotech downdraft has coincided with negative macro news flow and even correlation with crude prices. A strong dollar remains a major risk for multinationals. One assumption is that the negative sentiment on future drug prices is already reflected in the market.
- Technicals: risk remains in the sector and an intermediate bottom cannot be certain until the IBB stabilizes near $260.
- Abbvie (ABBV)…$56.49… offers good value has a robust product portfolio, a forward PE of 10.73, a PEG of 0.85, a P/S of 3.86 and pays a 4.23% dividend. Revenue growth is expected in the +13% range for 2016.
- Gilead Sciences (GILD)…$85.80… has exceptional value but the stock has been hammered by concerns about competition for its HCV product franchise. Revenue is expected to decline by 2.95% in 2016. Forward PE is estimated at 6.84 with a PEG of 0.52. Dividend is 2%.
- bluebird bio (BLUE)… $43.75…is a speculative play in gene therapy with the potential to cure two blood diseases beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease with its lentivirus (LentiGlobin) technology. BLUE's T cell therapy (CAR-T) ex-vivo gene therapy platform has potential for treatment of hematologic and solid tumors such as multiple myeloma. Stockholder equity is $889M with about $700M in cash and investments (as of 12/31/15).
The Rayno Life Science Portfolios are under review pending 2015 earnings reports/guidance and general market conditions in particular the strong dollar.
Next a review of the Rayno Diagnostics and Tools Sector.
Disclosure: Long all three stocks ABBV, BLUE, GILD.

with the title heading "WOWEFA Story Submission"
by Kristi (email@example.com)
and Frederick "Dice" Casden (firstname.lastname@example.com)
At a WCW LIVE event, 3 Count member Evan Karagias is hanging out backstage
as Shannon Moore and Shane Helms are in the ring competing in a Four Team
Elimination match. Dressed in white baggy pants and a WCW Monday Nitro
t-shirt, Evan walks around backstage, "Man those two better hurry up and
win... I want to go 'dance' with some ladies..." Evan laughs as he walks
around a corner to head to his locker room. As he walks he goes around a
corner and he sees WCW petite dominatrix, Leia Meow coming out of the locker
room of her group known as the Jung Dragons. Evan gets a cocky smirk on his
face and he casually approaches Leia, "Hey baby..." Evan starts to say just
before he sees the sharp glare Leia is giving him.
Leia Meow presses her lips together as she sharply glares at Evan Karagias
with a sultry, steamy look in her dominating eyes "Are you worthy?" The
manager of the Jung Dragons asks as she dressed in a tight-fitting pair of
leather pants and leather bikini top as she holds a small leather whip in
her left hand.
Evan raises an eyebrow, "Worthy of what babe?" Evan asks as he casually
checks out Leia Meow and the tight fitting leather outfit she's wearing.
Leia raises an eyebrow as the sly, sultry dominatrix slowly glances up and
down Evan's clothed body "Worthy of me..." Leia slightly snaps her teeth
"Ohhhh I see..." Evan licks his lips a bit and he lifts up his t-shirt to
show off his rock solid abs, "I think I am more than worthy of you babe..."
Evan says as he slightly mocks Leia, but also plays along.
The stunning, sultry and conniving Asian, Leia Meow, slightly licks her lips
as she glances down at Evan's rock solid, impressive abs "We shall see if
you are worthy..." Leia asks as she flicks her tongue against the tip of her
small leather whip "Follow me!" The dominatrix commands, before turning
around and begins to walk away from the handsome member of 3 Count.
"Damn... aren't we pushy..." Evan says with a laugh before he lowers his
t-shirt down and he starts to follow the petite Asian dominatrix as she walks
away from him. "Where are we going babe?"
Leia glances over her shoulder with a sly smirk, as her sly eyes are slightly
narrowed "Silence!" Leia commands as she continues to walk down the hallway.
Evan smirks slightly, "Whoa... what you don't like my voice? It makes girls
scream when they hear it..." Evan replies as he looks at Leia's leather pant
covered ass move as the small Asian woman walks.
Leia pauses as she stops in front of one of the doors in the hallway, that
leads to the boiler room, as the feisty dominatrix turns around to face Evan
Karagias and points her small leather whip in his direction "I said...
Silence!" Leia Meow slightly yells before she points her whip away from Evan
and at the boiler room door to her left "Open!" Leia commands to Evan.
"Ok... ok... don't have to yell..." Evan says with a slight laugh as he
opens the door leading to the boiler room, "There it's open... after you...
mistress..." Evan says as he cockily motions for Leia to step into the
boiler room before him.
Leia Meow presses her lips together as she slowly shakes her head "You better
obey..." Leia slightly snaps as the sly, seducing Asian dominatrix enters the
boiler room and turns on the lights inside of the once darkened boiler room.
Evan steps into the boiler room after Leia Meow turns on the lights and he
smirks, "Hey I do take occasional requests..." Evan replies to Leia's comment
as he closes the door behind him. Evan then follows Leia deeper into the
dimly lit boiler room.
Leia gently grits her together as she locks her dominatrix eyes on Evan
Karagias and points her small leather whip at him "Remove your clothes!" Leia
commands before she begins to removes her black leather bikini top to expose
her petite, firmly rounded Asian tits.
Evan licks his lips as he looks at Leia's hot, round tits, "Damn I normally
don't dig pushy chicks... but you're an exception..." Evan says as he lifts
up his t-shirt and takes it off, revealing his smooth muscular upper body.
He drops the shirt down on the ground and then he starts to lower his white
baggy pants, and as he lowers them, he frees his large, thick meaty eleven
inch cock.
Leia Meow presses her lips together as she slowly nods her head "Nice...
nice...turn around!" Leia Meow snaps as she grits her teeth together.
Evan steps out of his pants and smirks, "Sure thing... if you like the front,
you'll like the back..." Evan says as he turns around and shows off his
smooth ass to the petite Asian dominatrix.
The sultry, dominating Asian narrows her eyes as she takes a step towards
Evan Karagias as he has his back turned to her "Good..." Leia replies before
she smirks slyly "You must prove you are worthy...through punishment..." Leia
says with a soft moan as she raises her small leather whip before she swings
the whip down and smacks the whip firmly against Evan's smooth, tanned ass.
"OWWWW!" Evan jumps about two feet into the air after Leia Meow cracks her
whip against his smooth, evenly tanned ass. Evan puts his hands on his
ass-cheeks and looks back at her, "What the hell was that for?!"
Leia presses her lips together into a smirk and shrugs her shoulders "I told
you...you must prove yourself to me..." Leia replies in a sultry voice before
she points at Evan with her dominating whip "Turn around and silence!" The
Asian dominatrix snaps. Evan keeps his hands on his ass as he turns around to
face Leia Meow. Evan looks at Leia, and now knowing that she'll use the whip
at any moment, Evan keeps his mouth shut.
Leia licks her lips as she steps closely to Evan and presses the tip of her
small leather whip with her left hand against Evan's muscular chest "You
seem worthy..." Leia says with a smirk as she begins to push down her tight
leather pants with her right hand.
Evan tilts his head a bit and he looks down at Leia's tight leather pants as
she pushes them down, "Hey baby... I am worthy... you'll see..." Evan says
as Leia slightly slides the top of her small leather whip against his chest.
Leia presses her lips together as she lowers the whip from Evan's muscular
chest as she finishes pushing her leather pants down exposing her bare, hot
and shaven dominatrix pussy. Leia gently grits her teeth together as she
steps out of her leather pants and now stands completely naked in front of
Evan Karagias. Leia Meow softly tosses her dark hair back as she lowers
herself down onto her knees in front of Evan, however she turns with her
back facing him and places her hands down on the floor as she's on all fours
"Get behind me..." Leia slightly commands.
Evan licks his lips, "Sounds good to me..." Evan says as he kneels down
behind the hot, dominatrix of WCW. He puts his hands Leia's smooth ass and
lightly squeezes them, "I bet I can guess command number two..." Evan says
with a grin as he then starts to push his cock into Leia's hot, smooth Asian
Leia grits her teeth together as she feels Evan's hard, thick cock enter her
tight, Asian pussy "Ohhh...mmm...you are correct" Leia moans as she smoothly
pushes herself back against Evan's cock, forcing him deeper into her tight,
dominatrix pussy.
Evan slides his hands from Leia's ass and places them on her hips as he
begins to thrust his cock in and out of her pussy at a good swift rate, that
results in his cock going in deep and hard into Leia's pussy. "Ahhh fuck...
you're tight..." Evan moans as he fucks her pussy with a good pace.
Leia closes her sultry eyes as she tilts her head back and begins to
aggressively push herself back against Evan's cock firmly "Ohhh...ohhhh
fuck...you are worthy..." Leia moans as she thrusts her petite Asian body
back against Evan's cock harder.
Evan smirks as he starts to increase the pace of his thrusts, fucking Leia's
hot dominatrix pussy with sharper and faster thrusts, "Ahhhh... mmmmm...
damn... straight I'm... worthy..." Evan grunts as he pulls Leia back against
him so that her ass hits against his solid waist.
Leia licks her lips as she glances over her shoulder at Evan and locks her
sultry, dominating eyes with him as she rams her petite Asian, hot body back
against Evan's hard, thrusting cock "Ohhh...mmm...harder!" Leia moans as her
petite body rocks back and forth against Evan's cock.
"Ahhh... mmmm... uhhh shit..." Evan moans as he pumps his shaft as hard as
he can in and out of Leia's hot, tight pussy. Evan firmly holds onto Leia's
hips as he drives his cock as sharply as he can into Leia's tight cunt.
"Ohhhh ohhhhh fuck... fuck yesss!" Leia moans loudly as she arches her back
slightly as her petite, hot body slams back against his cock harder "Mmmm...
ohhh pull that dick out!" Leia commands and moans.
"Uhhh... all right..." Evan says as he wipes a bit of sweat for his forehead.
The leader of 3 Count then slowly pulls his thick hard cock out of Leia's hot
tight pussy and he sits on his knees behind her. Evan then slightly slides
his hands over the Asian dominatrix's hot ass before she moves away from him.
Leia Meow slowly turns around to face Evan as she remains on her knees, the
dominatrix scoots closer to Evan and places her hands on his strong shoulders
"Lay back..." Leia commands in a sultry tone as she slightly pushes Evan back
to lay down on the floor of the boiler room.
"All right babe..." Evan replies as he licks his lips slightly just before
he lays down on the cold floor of the dimly lit boiler room. "So... what's
next for me?" Evan asks Leia as he locks his eyes with her sly, dominating
Leia licks her lips as she smoothly mounts herself on top of Evan's hard,
thick cock "Pleasure...you earned it..." Leia moans as she places her hands
against his smooth, muscular chest before she rocks back against his cock
"Ohhh...you deserve it..." Leia groans as she tilts her head back and closes
her eyes as she begins to rock smoothly, but slowly on his cock.
Evan licks his lips and he puts his hands on Leia's smooth, sexy waist as
she rocks back and forth on his large, thick cock. "Ahhh... mmmmm... I told
you... I was worthy... didn't I..." Evan moans as the petite Asian Dominatrix
starts to slightly rise and fall on his thick shaft.
"Mmmm...ohhh yess you are" Leia moans as she slides her soft, dominating
hands against his smooth, muscular chest as she starts to quickly rock back
and forth on his cock and begins to smoothly bounce on his cock as well
"Ohhhh mmmm...you are very worthy..." Leia moans as she slams her body down
harder on Evan's cock as sweat begins to drip off of her hot Asian body.
Evan bends his legs a bit so that his feet are down flat on the cold floor
of the boiler room, and he starts to thrust his cock up into Leia's warm, wet
Asian pussy. "Ahhh... mmm... wow... your pussy is fantastic..." Evan moans as
he slides his hands up from Leia's waist and places them on Leia's round,
firm tits.
Leia grits her teeth as she grinds her pussy sharply against Evan's cock as
her petite, hot and sweat dripping Asian body slams down harder on Evan's
cock as the dominatrix takes him forcefully deeper into her tight Asian cunt
"Ohhhh...mmmm...ohhhh fuck yess!"
Evan licks his teeth as he arches his back a bit in order to slam his cock
harder up into Leia's hot pussy, "Uhhh... ohhh yeah... ride that... fucking
cock..." Evan moans as Leia impales herself over and over again on his fat
Leia closes her eyes as she dominatingly rocks and slams her body on Evan's
thick, hard cock "Ohhhh no..." Leia groans as her pussy tightens around
Evan's thrusting cock as she begins to cum.
Evan licks his lips and moans as he feels the hot Asian dominatrix's warm cum
flowing over his cock as she rocks on his cock. "Ohhh yeah baby... you like
that worthy cock?" Evan groans as he slides his hands from Leia's tits back
down to her waist.
Leia nods her head as she keeps her eyes closed "Ohhhh yess...very worthy..."
The dominating, sultry Leia Meow moans as sweat drips off of her stunning,
petite Asian body as she continues to rock against Evan's hard, thick cock.
Evan smirks a bit, "Good... cause... I want to see if you're worthy now..."
The leader of 3 Count says as he starts to lift Leia off of his thick,
throbbing cock. He scoots out from underneath her, and then he stands up in
front of her, "Show me you're worthy..." Evan says as he has Leia kneel in
front of him with his meaty cock hanging in front of her face. Leia licks
her lips as she sits on her knees in front of Evan as she locks her sultry,
dominatrix eyes on Evan. Leia Meow reaches forward and wraps her smooth,
delicate hands around his shaft as she guides his cock into her warm, wet
mouth. Leia wraps her lips around his shaft as she starts to smoothly bob
her head along his throbbing shaft.
"Ahhh... ohhh yeah... mmmmm..." Evan moans as he puts both of his hands on
top of Leia's head and takes two handfuls of her smooth, sweat dampened hair.
He moves his pelvis forward, thrusting it back and forth as he moves his
shaft in between Leia's lips as she bobs her head up and down on his cock.
"Mmmm... you seem... worthy..." Evan moans as he feels Leia's small tongue
against the underside of his cock.
Leia lifts her sultry eyes up and locks them with Evan as she slides her wet
tongue around Evan's hard shaft as she guides her head against Evan's cock,
bobbing quicker and swiftly on his shaft while she softly moans against his
shaft. "Mmmmm... ohhh yeah... mmmm..." Evan looks down into Leia's sultry
eyes as she quickly bobs her head on his shaft. "Uhhh... ohhh fuck yea...
come on... yeah... you're worth...." Evan moans as he starts to cum inside
of Leia Meow's warm, moist mouth. The sweaty, studdly leader of 3 Count grits
his teeth as he can feel Leia suck every drop of cum from his meaty shaft.
Leia closes her eyes as she gently taps her tongue against Evan's cock as her
hot, wet mouth fills up with the warm, sticky cum of Evan Karagias "Mmmm...
ohhh yeah..." Leia groans as she lifts her head off his cock and swallows his
Evan licks his lips as he looks down at Leia sweat covered face, "Mmmm...
whew... damn... you're good... the guys would love to see how worthy you
are..." Evan says with a smirk.
Leia presses her lips together as she slowly lifts her eyes and locks them
with Evan Karagias as sweat rolls down her sly, seducing face "But first...
they have to prove...they are worthy."
Evan grins as sweat drips from his body, "Oh they will... don't worry...
cause once you see they are worthy... you'll be down... with not a 1... not
a 2... but for a 3 Count."

I have always been a fan of couscous, but until just recently, I've been in the dark about quinoa. Man, was I missing out. I now understand why the Incas believed it to be sacred and called it "chisaya mama" or "mother of all grains." It's healthy and versatile, working well with both sweet and savory flavors and I just found out that you can toast quinoa, much as you would sesame seeds. I will have to try that one in the future. I decided to go the sweet route with this batch, as I was pairing it with my Jammin' Jamaican Tofu, so I emptied out my cabinets and came up with a sweet side for any meal. With food so good and weather so hot, I thought I'd died and gone to island heaven.
*Sweet on Quinoa*
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 TBSP vanilla soy milk
- 1/2 cup baby carrots, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- thumb-sized piece of ginger root, grated
- 1/2 cup dried currants
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1-2 TBSP cinnamon (as desired)
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (If you can find Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract, it's worth the bit extra.)
- 1 TBSP sesame seeds (as garnish)
- salt (pinch)
- 1/2-1 tsp dried parsley (as garnish)
- 2 TBSP Earth Balance
- 1-2 TBSP agave nectar (Maple syrup could be substituted here, but I like agave nectar because it tastes great and has an extremely low glycemic index of 19.)
Boil 2 cups water. Add quinoa, stir, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes. Add apricots, currants and ginger. Stir well, re-cover and cook for approximately 8 minutes. While quinoa is cooking, heat small fry pan on medium heat and add Earth Balance. When Earth Balance has melted, add carrots and onions and cook until nearly tender. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, salt and agave nectar. Stir and cook until carrots are tender. Add contents of pan to quinoa. Add vanilla soy milk and stir well. Cook for about 2 more minutes or until quinoa is fully cooked and soy milk is absorbed. Transfer quinoa to serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley. Serve hot with your favorite entree, or chill and enjoy as a cold salad. :)

General Motors announced at its annual stockholders meeting that the company will close four plants in North America that produce pickups, SUVs and light- and medium-duty trucks.
According to the company, Oshawa Truck Assembly in Oshawa, Canada, which manufactures the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, will most likely cease production next year. The plant in Moraine, OH—which builds the Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Saab 9-7x--will end production at the end of the 2010 model run, at the latest, the company said.
The company's Janesville, WI plant will cease production of light-duty trucks by the end of next year and of the Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon in 2010, if not earlier, GM said. Its Toluca, Mexico facility will end production on medium-duty trucks by the end of this year.
GM announced in April that it would remove shifts at its Janesville and Oshawa facilities, as well as the Pontiac assembly plant in Pontiac, MI and the Flint assembly plant in Flint, MI.
"From the start of our North American turnaround plan in 2005, I've said that our goal is not just to return GM to profitability, but to structure GM globally for sustained profitability and growth," said Rick Wagoner, GM chairman & CEO. "Since the first of this year, however, U.S. economic and market conditions have become significantly more difficult. Higher gasoline prices are changing consumer behavior, and they are significantly affecting the U.S. auto industry sales mix."
"The Big Three have become more heavily reliant on light-duty trucks and SUVs, and they're getting hit harder than other automakers because of high gas prices," analyst Chris Brady, president of Commercial Motor Vehicle Consulting (CMVC), told FleetOwner.
Brady added that it will be difficult for auto parts delivery and car carriers that worked with the plants. "It's a hard business for anyone shipping parts into these plants, and they probably will have trouble finding capacity for the lost volume. For parts carriers, a lot of other products can be hauled, but for car carriers, it's not like you can haul anything else."
According to Wagoner, GM will focus more on fuel-efficient cars going forward, including a compact Chevy for the U.S. and global markets and a new generation of the Chevy Aveo.
"These moves are all in response to the rapid rise in oil prices and the resulting changes in the U.S., changes that we believe are more structural than cyclical," said Wagoner. "While some of the actions, especially the capacity reductions, are very difficult, they are necessary to adjust to changing market and economic conditions and to keep GM's U.S. turnaround on track and moving forward."
GM also announced its board of funding has approved production of the Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), which the company said should be available by the end of 2010.

Today we have a French twist in the German line up: It's a Majorette 3 pack of German Emergency Vehicles I bought a few years ago. Top of the list is of course the 911 Police car. Who wouldn't want to fly on the German Autobahn in one of those?
Then there's the BMW Emergency Doctor. Also not a bad thing.
And then there is the slightly offbeat inclusion of a Renault Megane Fire Car. Not really the obvious choice, but hey, I guess Majorette wanted to sneak in a bit of French style into that Teutonic Trio.

Is the rain gone? I can get used to the warm sun. It's been gorgeous in Coronado lately. Not raining cats and dogs. The dogs are now playing on the beach. Runners without sweater, reminding me to get my butt moving before summer comes. It might be safe to make Agua Fresca. Wouldn't you say? This time, Agua de Melon, or Cantaloupe Agua Fresca.
Recently, I started splitting my time between the US and Mexico. It has been quite the cultural experience. I hate going to the grocery store in the US and seeing fruit that's not ripe. Pretty sure you've all seen green bananas. Don't eat them. They're just gross. Ugh! In Mexico, fruit is picked ripe and hits the stores ready to eat. I'm talking so fresh that the merchant will bust out his machete and open up a coconut for you to drink. Wasting food is a big NO NO. That's how Agua Fresca was born. It a way to stretch out our food. This Agua de Melon, or Cantaloupe Agua Fresca, is made with a ripe, juicy cantaloupe. Slice it up, and discard the peel.
How to tell if the cantaloupe is ripe:
No, don't bring in your machete. Instead, smell the bottom of the cantaloupe. There's a small, circular indentation. Smell it. If it smells like a cantaloupe, you're in business. If not, move to the next one.
The cantaloupe is sweet, but the water is not. Add sugar. Then blend away.
The consistency of the blended cantaloupe sugar mixture is thick. It's extremely sweet because it's condensed.
To thin it out, add the cantaloupe mixture to a large pitcher and add water. Taste for good measure. Sometimes, it needs more water or more sugar.
Last but not least, add some ice cubes to a glass and enjoy this refreshing Agua de Melon, or Cantaloupe Agua Fresca. Might be time to clean the BBQ.
Cantaloupe Agua Fresca (Agua de Melon)
- 1 cantaloupe peeled and diced
- ½ cup sugar
- 6 cups water
- Ice
- Add cantaloupe and sugar to the blender.
- In a large pitcher, add the cantaloupe mixture and water.
- Stir to combine.
- Taste for good measure.
- Add ice.
- Serve and enjoy!

First, I'd like to say a few words about the food of northern Thailand, or Lanna, which is the name for the old northern Thai kingdom. Fun fact: Chiangmai was an autonomous principality until almost within living memory; it was only formally absorbed into the modern Thai state in the early 20th century.
Lanna cuisine is noticeably different from that of Bangkok and the other main regions, namely Isan (the northeastern plateau) and the South. The most striking differences, in my opinion, are its relative mildness, the general absence of coconut from its curries, the prevalence of pork, and the relatively greater use of tomatoes. I'm speaking of traditional cooking, of course. Nowadays most restaurants in Chiang Mai and elsewhere in the North serve pan-Thai dishes. Like the people of Isan, the people of Lanna ate mostly sticky rice before Bangkok influence became prevalent in the 20th century.
The wonderful Lanna Museum in Chiang Mai has a very informative exhibit about Lanna food and ways of eating, not to mention every other aspect of northern life. The photo below shows the museum's representation of an old-style meal.
A Pork Blowout
The Northerners love their pork. On a visit to Chiangmai in 2012, a Thai friend and I ate in a small restaurant near Chang Puak Gate on the outer side of the old moat and walls. The entire menu seemed to consist of pork dishes. At any rate, all our selections (pictured below) contained pork in one form or another. They included northern-style pork sausages, a mild curry with chunks of pork, a warm salad containing processed steamed pork, deep-fried pork rind, and a dipping sauce that is unique to the North. This sauce, called nam prik ong, is made from red chili, tomato, and minced pork. It's one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in Thailand. It's in the smaller round bowl at centre. We were also served Lanna-style sticky rice in the little baskets. My friend, who hails from Isan, the dry northeastern plateau, had never had any of these pork dishes before, except for the sausages. Friends have recently reported that this restaurant no longer exists. I'm not surprised. The lady in charge back in 2012 seemed quite elderly.
Sidenote: There was a photo of the last reigning Prince of Chiangmai, who died in 1939, on the wall at this restaurant, but no pictures of Bangkok royalty. Those who know Thailand will understand how unusual this glimpse of old loyalties is.
A Lakeside Meal
Thais love to eat near or on water, and the Northerners are no exception. All around the country there are restaurants arranged around ponds or lakes, usually covered pavilions on stilts. On my last visit to Chiangmai, in 2015, my friends and I went to one such lakeside restaurant on the edge of the city.
This lake is called Huay Teung Tao. If memory serves, it's in a park of some kind. The building that you see on the far shore in the picture above is part of a resort, I believe. The restaurant, the name of which I've forgotten, consists of a collection of raised bamboo pavilions along the shoreline. You sit crosslegged on the floor and eat at low tables.
The menu offered mostly Bangkok and Isan favourites. If you peer at the photo above, you'll see that we had plenty of papaya salad (somtam) and a large steamed fish -- which was not from the lake at hand. At some places like this, however, you can fish for your own meal.
Lanna Rice Barn
On another day on that last visit, my friends took me to the Lanna Rice Barn, a large restaurant and homestay operation specializing in Lanna-style cuisine. It's located about a quarter hour outside the city near the ancient Wiang Kum Kan ruins.
The menu featured all the greatest hits of Northern cooking, but the setting was so charming that I would have enjoyed anything put in front of me. The owner is or was an architect involved in the preservation of Lanna building styles and techniques, which is apparent in the several buildings of the complex.
Architectural salvage, such as temple finials (see below), are on display. I didn't ask, but they were probably for sale. Food products are definitely for sale. I bought some preserves.
Lanna Rice Barn specializes in northern cuisine, but also offers pan-Thai dishes. Probably the most distinctively Northern thing we ordered was the miang kham platter, which featured the above-mentioned nam plik ong, 2 kinds of sausage, eggs, and pork rind.
A visit here is highly recommended if you're in the Chiangmai area.

Okay, so I am at a crossroads with my financial plan for this year. I just started a new job, where I make $11,000 more in salary a year (plus overtime) than the job I was going to take right out of college, but the cost of living is also more here.
If any of you have looked at income and then the expenses I have, then you'll know that I don't have alot of money to spare these days. Now there is one more complicating factor.
I expect to be engaged within the next 2 months (it's an odd situation, I've been dating him for 4 years, I know he has been saving for a ring, and he's planning to move in with me in a month). I never thought I would actually see the engagement coming, but that's the way it has worked out!
So this brings to mind the question of how we are going to pay for a wedding/honeymoon. I am fiercely independent (have been since I started working at 16), so I refuse to go the traditional route and expect my parents to pay for the wedding. Honestly, my parents couldn't do that anyway, and I would rather know that I paid for it myself. My boyfriend's family will probably offer to pay for our honeymoon, since they paid for his two older sisters' weddings, but I don't think it's fair to let them pay for the honeymoon if my parents aren't paying for the wedding.
However, I know they (especially my mom because I'm her only daughter) will insist on helping some way. If it unfolds the way I think it will, we will probably let my parents pay for the limo & my brothers tuxes, while his parents can pay for part of the catering, etc.
We are not really hard to please, but I have no experience with wedding costs. I would think that we can have the wedding & reception for about $15k-$20k, and the honeymoon for probably $2k. I really have no idea, so theses are estimates!
I don't want to have a riduculously expensive wedding, but I also don't want to look back later and wish that we had splurged a little more, since it is only once in a lifetime (or it had better be, wink wink), and you can't have a re-do later when we have more money!
Okay, that went a little longer than I had planned, but the question I have been getting to is this: Should we be focused on paying as much of our debt off as possible, or should we be paying enough to stay current until the wedding is over, using the rest to save towards the wedding costs?
If it helps, here is a breakdown of our income & debt right now:
Credit Card Debt: $12,000
Personal Loan: $850
Student Loans: $4,000
Car Loan: $6,000
Credit Card Debt: $300
I would estimate that once our finances are combined, we will have about $300 a month to use for either paying off more debt or saving. This does not include what I have automatically taken out for my 401K.
Should I pay off as much as I can, and then get a fixed personal loan for the wedding expenses, or start saving for the wedding and wait until afterwards to start really working on the debt?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! Sorry for such a long, rambling post
Confused... reduce credit cards or save for wedding?
Okay, so I am at a crossroads with my financial plan for this year. I just started a new job, where I make $11,000 more in salary a year (plus overtime) than the job I was going to take right out of college, but the cost of living is also more here.
20 Responses to "Confused... reduce credit cards or save for wedding?"
March 20th, 2008 at 09:34 amI wish I'd known when I got married what I know now. If I had, I'd have made sure we were both debt free before marrying.
Personally, I'd focus on paying off the debt. But then I'm not into big weddings and receptions and having a small ceremony and reception works for me.
This is a priority issue though and only you can decide what's best. If you could only do one - start debt free or have the wedding you mentioned - which would you do? There's your answer. I would not take a loan to pay for the wedding, though. I'd pay cash and if that means its a small affair so be it. But that's my two cents.
March 20th, 2008 at 09:42 amYou really need to get rid of the credit cards. There is also no reason to spend $15-20k especially if you have the groom's family pay for part of the catering (usually the biggest expense).
I realize not everyone shares my frugality when it comes to weddings ($10 for the license, $800 for the huge informal outdoor/park BBQ reception) but something to keep in mind is that starting a marriage with a lot of debt is a quick way to make sure it isn't your last.
I used to do divorce work and 90% were due to finances.
Is there any reason why you can't have a long engagement?
March 20th, 2008 at 09:59 amFirst of all, I'm a guy. So, basically you can take my advice with a grain a salt. I also agree that it's a question of what's more important to you.
So I am going to answer your question as if I were you. First of all, I don't believe in mixing finances if you aren't married. I would pay of the credit cards, car, and the personal loan (probably the personal loan first). This should free up some cash flow that you can now save up for the wedding and pay for it in cash.
Sure, the engagement might be a little longer. Personally I would want to enter my married life on a firmer financial footing. Honestly, what's a couple of years when you'll be married to him for 60-70 years.
March 20th, 2008 at 10:02 amI would only have a wedding that I could pay cash for. Therefore, I would put the debt payoff on hold. You'll be paying for things along the way...the dress, the ring for your DH, deposits. There are ways to save on weddings...start researching now. Think about weddings you've been to and what you could do without and what you really want. We had the best time at our wedding and and it wasn't because of the stuff...it was just fun to be celebrating our wedding with friends and family. No regrets on that!
March 20th, 2008 at 10:16 amI would say "yes" pay of CC and save for the wedding.
Because one is fun one is work, both aught to happen.
But as to how much you need, my wedding was somewhere in the 2-3K range..and it was wonderful...I see no reason to spend 13K for a wedding.
I wouldn't delay marriage for the perfect wedding...marriage is to someone you cannot live without, a wedding is just a ceremony telling the rest of the world what you two already know. And starting off your married life with an extravagant wedding is setting yourselves up for money issues IMO...
So pay off debt and set aside a little bit for fun..when he pops the question you will already have a bit, and you can research what you really want to spend it on. (that list will depend on you, for me it would be church & minister, reception place, dress, and food..not expensive food, just food)
As to others paying for it, let em if they want to (husbands family paid for the drinks, mine paid for the rest) Though don't take that as free right to spend a fortune!
March 20th, 2008 at 10:26 amWhen I got married the first time, we went to a local JP. Two friends attended and witnessed. My family held a small reception afterwards. We got a few nice gifts, had a great cake and punch and just generally had a good time. My dress cost $115 and my family spent maybe $100 on the reception. The JPs fee was $25. So, for less than $275 we had a great time. Marriage is one thing - weddings are another. Don't be caught in the trappings and give your long term life together some serious consideration. Pay the credit card bills and pay cash for the wedding.
March 20th, 2008 at 10:29 amThank you all for your advice so far. I appreciate it, and here are a few comments in response:
The personal loan is actually not a cash flow expense for me, because it's actually my brother's loan. He was too young to get the loan so I put it in my name, and I only list it because if he couldn't come up with the payment, then I would pay it myself before it was late.
As for the engagement, I would say that if we get engaged in April or May, I'd like to plan for the wedding either next summer or early Fall. We can't do it any earlier than that anyway, because I'll be moving at least one more time for my job, and it's hard to plan a wedding in one state when you're two states away!
The only problem I still am not sure about is, even if we pay all the extra we have on the debts, they will still not be paid off before the wedding (unless there are some unexpected cash inflows). Also, even if we pay the minimums and save everything for the wedding, I would estimate we'd still only have about $5,000 for the wedding. Personally, I like to see that I'm making progress on the credit cards, and I'm afraid if I only pay the minimums and plan to save, that I'll end up using the money for everyday stuff and not saving it for the big picture.
As for the combined finances... I am really okay with it. He is very financially conservative as far as debt goes, and we already have a joint savings and checking account. I think we both accept that there are going to be times when we have to rely on each other in the future. When he moves here, he'll probably only be able to get a part-time job for the 6 months until we move again. At that point, I'll be paying most of the bills. But right now, he is depositing extra money into our joint checking for me while he is working full-time and hasn't moved. I think you definitely have to be careful who you include in your financial affairs, but I trust "us" completely.
Thank you again for all the help, keep it coming!
March 20th, 2008 at 10:38 amI am a newlywed myself. We were only engaged for 6 months because we really wanted to be married. Also we did not want to be caught up with the heavily wedding industries and advertisements and buy into the trends. We paid everything in cash for the beautiful wedding we had and had quite a few wonderful surprises from family and friends. We both set up a budget for the wedding and saved up for it together. We actually ended up paying under our estimated budget because we worked hard trying to find the best price and also eliminated stuff that would neither make or break the wedding celebration. (does anyone really remember the sayings on those napkins from any of the weddings you may have attended?"
What really struck me is it seems you have not discussed with your future fiancé on what would be the best way to handle the debts and wedding savings and is asking us first. Engagement is really the best time to talk about finances together, team work on how to organize and save for finances and wedding and exposing all those inner flaws that may pop out due to stress and different opinions out of each other. It's good beginner level practice of the marriage to come. I would focus more on preparing what is really important for you both in a marriage and the wedding plan will follow suite to making the deciding factor on how much to spend on a wedding with the whole picture. How you handle the wedding planning and expenses will give you an insight how you two will handle marriage issues. Your debts will become his and likewise. Keep in mind on how you handle your future finance is one of the many ways reflects how much you care for your fiancé's well being and lifestyle together and the same of him to you.
I have a simple ring that was inexpensive because I rather save money for us to experience trying new stuff or trips together in our life together than to be looking at my ring all the time. Everyone priorities and finances are different as their options so there is not a once case fits all.
March 20th, 2008 at 10:43 amJust a little note - my boyfriend and I have talked about the issues before, and while we are both young (22), we have experienced alot in our four years together. We've talked through the financial part, but are still undecided as to which plan would be better for us. So I thought I'd ask you guys for your expertise!
March 20th, 2008 at 11:16 amGosh, my opinion would probably be one of the more extreme. You see, if it were me, I would start by asking BF not to buy any engagement ring. Personally, I find the symbolism of jewelry is more about wealth and beauty than commitment or love of the person it is given to. I'd keep the wedding, the reception, and the honeymoon simple. I wouldn't take out a loan to get married. But then, I am not much of an "event" person.
March 20th, 2008 at 11:27 amI'd pay off the cc. DH and I were debt free except for mortgages. (2nd marriage for both with 5 kids). We had a simple $500 ish wedding (plus the price of our rings).
That 20K could be a down payment for a house.
March 20th, 2008 at 02:36 pmplanning a wedding from several states away is doable...I was married in PA while living in NC.
March 20th, 2008 at 03:07 pmI am probably in the minority on saying plan a smaller, simpler wedding and pay on the debts. My wedding cost $2000 for 275 guests. For that I also paid for the bridemaids' outfits and had a custom made dress. There are so many ways to do a nice wedding on a budget. That was almost 11 years ago and I have no regrets. If anything, I would probably choose a simpler wedding.
Think about what you want for your marriage rather than just about the wedding day. Would the two of you be happier with a less lavish wedding and a lower debt total? Is the lavish wedding ceremony more important than dropping the debt?
March 20th, 2008 at 07:29 pmI paid for a small wedding for my then almost 19 year old daughter (who is now pregnant with my first grandchild). There were about 90 guests. We had a brunch after the wedding at a local venue who also did the cake, flowers, etc. We just showed up with our clothes, oh and the alcohol. YD's dress came off the rack as did bridesmaid's dresses and my outfit from David's Bridal. We paid for their wedding night at a local hotel where they watched fireworks from the hot tub (they married on July 4th, my SIL is a Marine). It was lovely, food was yummy total cost just under $8000.00.
This is where it was:
March 20th, 2008 at 07:51 pmI'm not a guy, but I agree with Merch. I'd get the credit card debt (and maybe the car loan) paid off, then start saving for the wedding. Once you have enough saved up to pay for an acceptable wedding in cash, then go ahead and get married.
The reason I say this is because it could become a source of friction if one of you went in the marriage bringing debt from before the marriage.
I also agree that you could let your BF know you'd be happy to not have an engagement ring but instead have the money go towards the car loan. [I told my husband that I did not want or need an engagement ring in all sincerity ... Unfortunately he caved to pressure from his mom, sister & society and bought me one ... I absolutely love it, but hardly ever wear it.]
Finally, speaking as a woman who had a marvelous wedding and has been married almost 15 years, when I look back on my wedding I have such happy memories ... I remember feeling enveloped by love from friends and family, and I did not feel any strain on my finances even tho I paid for my own wedding ... We had a family BBQ for the rehersal dinner, my uncle performed the ceremony that was held at a public park (we rented a building from the county very inexpensively), my cousin did the flowers, the whole family cooked the food, a family acquaintance who was a school cook baked a cake and catered, and a dear friend took the photos. My dress was also off the rack ... and if you want a hint of where your dress might end up some day (and why it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend a lot), my little niece now has it in her dress-up chest!
March 20th, 2008 at 08:23 pmI would pay the credit cards and save for the wedding. Starting your life together cc debt-free will make a heck of a difference in your marriage. On another note--let your in-laws pay for your honeymoon, if offered. You can't compare the expense of paying for a wedding and paying for your honeymoon.
March 21st, 2008 at 03:10 amMay I just also add I didn't get my "engagement ring" until we were married about 6 years. I have a tiny little gold band that cost about $30.00 (of course that was 1978 and gold was probably $50.00 an ounce or something..)
Also when planning YD's wedding July 2006, we could have done it way cheaper, but we only had 13 days! So I asked my husband if he wanted the cheaper stressful wedding (local park, we do the food/cake, etc) or the more expensive less stressful wedding. He said the more expensive, less stress. It was worth it and we paid cash, of course charging David's Bridal purchases helped to spread it over another month (paid in full when bill came)!
So since you have lots of time, you probably could have a lovely wedding with much less cash.
March 21st, 2008 at 06:48 amAs a girl who is more or less planning to get married in the next few years herself, and your age (us babies have to stick together!) I'd say pay off the CC. There's no reason you should take out a loan to pay for the wedding. Honestly, the more I talk to married couples, the more they wish they didn't blow thier money on unnecessary wedding costs. Really, an inexpensive wedding is so simple to do, it just takes a little creativity and some planning (and mabye a friend or two that are relatively crafty). I wouldn't spend too much on a dress. Sure, us girls want to feel like a "princess," but my best friend got a gorgeous dress she ordered online for less than $100. You're only going to wear it once!
Personally, I want a very small wedding, with a bigger reception, and I want to get married in a garden, or a park or something. I dont want to worry about getting seating for 100 people when I actually tie the knot. It seems so much simpler that way. Look into connections you may have. Best friend had a horse-drawn carriage at her wedding because her aunt knew someone who did that kind of thing! Her wedding couldn't have been more than a few thousand. And it was beautiful. Paying 15K for a wedding is ludicrous and unneccesary. Pay off that debt!
On the subject of engagement rings, I'm asking BF to NOT get me anything with a diamond. It's more of a political statement (people are losing thier lives all through africa for diamonds. It's really quite depressing). And I'm more than content with a plain band (perhaps with engraving on it?), I cant stand yellow gold, and I wouldn't care if it was silver. haha. I think of all of the other things I could do with money that would be spent on something like a ring. There are trips to take (as someone already mentioned), or debt to pay. In the long-run, it's so much nicer to be debt free. And much less stress on your marriage.
By the way, congrats on BF moving in! I'll be moving in with mine in his state here at the beginning of May too And I cant wait!
Ima saver
March 21st, 2008 at 07:58 amMy wedding was at home and friends brought the food and took the pictures! We supplied the liquor and had a little party after the ceremony. We spent about $100 (I wore a dress I already had) and are still in love (and a lot richer) after 31 years!! Save your money and just enjoy your day!
March 22nd, 2008 at 07:59 pmRemember that your wedding is for a day, but your marriage is for longer than a day. Unless you're Brittany Spears, in which case, you wouldn't be posting here. Your marriage should be "clean" from your wedding. Whatever plans, fiscal or otherwise, for your wedding should be paid for by that day. Too many of my friends who were still paying for the wedding during the first couple of years really showed strains and began to resent the fiscal burden. They even began to resent their memories, especially if after paying tens of thousands for the wedding that it rained or the pictures were crappy or dog ate the food or the best man got into a bar fight.
You get idea. Like everyone else here: payoff the CC, save for the wedding.

The Diabetes Obesity Connection - A Look at Leptin
By: Jean Johnson for Diabetes1
Obesity isn't always a fast track to diabetes - and researchers think they may be figuring out why.
It all started in 1994 when researchers discovered a hormone that regulates appetite levels in mice and named it leptin. Since then, spurred by epidemic levels of obesity and overweight that in the United States doubled during the 1990s, researchers have initiated study after study aimed at plumbing the depths of leptin's mysteries.
The results of the current study from the University of Michigan and the Joslin Diabetes Center suggest that leptin could become a household word for obese patients hoping to stave off adult onset or Type 2 diabetes.
Basically the news is that leptin is not the type of hormone to just plod idly down a single well-worn trail toward the brain. Indeed, leptin's a regular multi-tasker according to Martin G. Myers, Jr., MD, Ph.D. and Sarah H. Bates, Ph.D, the senior and lead authors on the paper, respectively. Not only does leptin let the brain know when nutrient levels are adequate, it also communicates on the subject with the liver.
Studies since 1994 have already shown that interference in lepton's communication with the brain leads to obesity. So what the researchers did on this latest go-round was study obese mice in which they had disabled this pathway.
What they found was that only some of the fat mice got diabetes. When the medical science folks went looking for the reason, they discovered leptin's second byway - its winding trail to the liver. Only in obese mice with diabetes was this pathway disabled.
"The blood sugar of the s/s mice [with specific brain pathways disrupted only] was high, but it was much more in control than mice that had no leptin receptors at all, and was not because of difference in their insulin production," Myers said. "And when the s/s mice were put on calorie-restricted diets, their blood sugar normalized. These findings suggest that since the leptin-STAT3 [pathway that leads to the brain] signal was disrupted; some other signal must have been keeping glucose in check."
"The classic thinking was that two things underlie Type 2 diabetes - how fat you are and how much insulin you can make. It is now clear that leptin and the brain also play an important role in this obesity-diabetes link. Going forward," said Myers, "we need to define more about this new third player."
The idea that there's a third player doesn't surprise Mary Castillo of Portland, Oregon. "I knew something had to be going on, because like the rest of the family, I've had a weight problem all my life, and I'm 85," Castillo said. "None of us have ever had even the slightest suggestion of diabetes, despite our love of those good old Iowa Sunday suppers back when we were kids in the Midwest."
Conversely, Lois Sampson of Portland who has less than 30 percent body fat and thus is not technically considered obese, developed diabetes in her 50s. "I guess I'm a little heavy," she said. "But I'm certainly not as big as many of my friends who don't have diabetes."
Whatever the relationship between excess poundage and diabetes, the experts are concerned enough about not only the connection but also sky-rocketing rates, that some have coined a new term: diabesity. If researchers have their way, though, they'll soon understand even more about leptin, and thus at the very least be able to explain to Americans who can't stay away from the groceries just how it is that our bodies react to our behavior.

Fun Indoor & Rainy Day Activities
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
True, most rides and activities are outdoors – however, if by chance you do get some rain on your day trip to the park, don't worry! Use this time to see one of the many main stage shows. Grab a bite to eat AND see a show at Das Festhaus.
Colonial Williamsburg Museums
It's a great outdoor museum, but come rain, be sure to visit the indoor museums at Colonial Williamsburg – Basset Hall, the Williamsburg home of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.; the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum; and the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum.
Jamestown Settlement
Jamestown Settlement is famous for its remarkable outdoor exhibits, including its re-created Powhatan Indian Village and ship replicas – but should you encounter a little bad weather, you must check out the impressive indoor museum. This addition to the Settlement is quite remarkable and explores the three cultures that converged at Jamestown – the Powhatan Indians, the English settlers and the Africans.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum & 4-D Theater
The perfect rainy day activity! This museum keeps any visitor entertained and fascinated with its 11 outrageous galleries! Oddball exhibits include dinosaur eggs, a shrunken head and so much more.
The Virginia Living Museum
When it's raining, take the time to visit with the animals of the region. With so many different exhibits, you'll think you're outside on a mountain, inside a forest or lurking in a swamp! It's great rainy day fun without feeling like you're indoors!
Yankee Candle
Set in the backdrop of a quaint small town, this amazing collection of stores is all indoors! In addition to the vast selection of candles, Yankee Candle is the perfect place to find gourmet foods, gift items and Christmas collectibles!
American Revolution Museum at Yorktown
If you hit a patch of rain, take this time to head indoors to explore the Yorktown Victory Center's amazing galleries – including a Declaration of Independence Gallery, Witness to Revolution Gallery and Converging at Yorktown Gallery. Also check out A Time for Revolution, a film centered around an encampment during night of the Siege at Yorktown.

Baby Bash & Frankie J – Sangria Album Zip Download
Baby Bash and Frankie J — the duo famous for creating the hit 'Suga Suga', have announced a joint album titled Sangria.
The duo have worked together for years, most famously delivering the popular song 'Suga Suga' in 2003, which reached the Top 20 in ten different countries, including peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, the artists of Mexican origin have put out several songs together, giving hope to fans that one day they will join forces for a full length effort.
Sangria, which Baby Bash describes as a "saucy Spanglish album for the lovers, dreamers, and people with great vibes," will hit stores on October 20th. It will feature guest appearances from Kap G, Paula DeAnda and more. Along with the album announcement and option for pre-order, the duo has also dropped a G-Funk inspired first single 'Candy Coated Dreamer' which you can stream below.
The album also looks to challenge the defined boundaries of Latin music and Hip-Hop, according to the press release. "I think the biggest misconception of Mexican-American music is that you must do one or the other," Frankie J says. "You can't do both. You can't do Mexican music unless you speak perfect Spanish. And you can't do American music, unless you speak perfect English. But I say, this has all to do with faulty thinking. It's ignorance on people's behalf. I was born in Tijuana, Baja California Mexico. And I was raised in the US. And I've done very well on both sides of the fence."
1. Candy Coated Dreamer
2. Body Yo Body (feat. Paula DeAnda & Kap G)
3. Sangria
4. Lowrider (feat. C-Kan, Kid Frost & Ozomatli)

08.03.18 I made a speak at #caplive 'Typography', in Gothenburg, Sweden. I spoked about the type mood I am in right now … I talked about how to design readable and beautiful text for smartphones … What to think about when you animate type; showing my video work for the 'Schibsted Future Report 2018', launched in November 2017. In my speak I quoted »A typeface is like an actor. Once you change the actor it's a different thing« said by the famous titles designer: Michelle Dougherty at Imaginary Forces, Hollywood, New York.
In the inspiration part I showed »Marcin Antique« the french inspired sans serif by Mario Feliciano, 2017. The revival of italian mid-century typeface »Forma«, by the legendary Italian font house Nebiolo, a most exciting type project introduced by Mark Porter for the redesign of the Italian magazine Domus, the typeface is designed by David Jonathan Ross, Font Bureau. Finale: I showed the new customised typeface »Eugenio« for the italian newspaper 'la Repubblica', Rome, by Commercial type, 2017. It is a new typeface family based on a serif style in Bodoni style and a geometric sans serif style introduced by the design director Francesco Franchi.
Have a sneak peak at my work here:

Kenneth Fisher discusses how to get MSDTC working with Integration Services:
tl;dr; The MSDTC service has to be not only turned on, but configured on all of the machines involved. Including the machine running the SSIS package (possibly a workstation).
Configuring remote MSDTC, sure. Configuring local MSDTC, though, is something I hadn't realized was important, at least if you want to use SSIS transactions. Probably goes to show how often I use SSIS transactions…
Chris Shaw tells us to optimize TempDB:
By default when you install SQL Server the TempDB database is not optimized. For SQL Servers that use the TempDB even moderately, I recommend optimizing it for the best performance. The TempDB is the storage area that SQL Server uses to store data for a short periods of time, information that can be found in the TempDB include temporary tables, and data that is being sorted for query results. The data in the TempDB is so temporary that each time the SQL Server service restarts, the TempDB is recreated.
Good advice within.
Buck Woody shares some tips regarding learning R:
Another mistake I see a lot in beginning R students is forgetting that R cares about case. In other words, the variable "a" is a separate thing than the variable "A".
NOTE: Package names can be case-sensitive as well.
A lot of this comes down to "learn the syntax."
Tim Radney has in introduction on how he tunes a SQL Server instance:
Typically the common compliant when someone's stating they need to tune a SQL Server is that it's running slow. What does slow mean? Is it a certain report, a specific application, or everything? Did it just start happening, or has it been getting worse over time? I start by asking the usual triage questions of what the memory, CPU, and disk utilization is compared to when things are normal, did the problem just start happening, and what recently changed. Unless the client is capturing a baseline, they don't have metrics to compare against to know if current stats are abnormal.
Tuning is about method and tools (in that order). I like the way Tim does both.
Ed Elliott has a three-part series on database projects in SQL Server Data Tools.
The SSOX or SQL Server Object Explorer is a cool utility that lets you connect to a live database and do things to it like debug stored procedures or update individual objects. It also lets you see a view of you projects after all references have been resolved so if you use "Same Database" references you can see how your end project will end up – really useful.
Using the DacServices via whatever method you want (schema compare, sqlpackage, powershell, something else?) really makes it simple to spend your time writing code and tests rather than manual migration steps. It constantly amazes me who well rounded the deployment side of things is. Every time I use something obscure, something other than a table or procedure I half expect the deployment to fail but it just always works.
Over the last couple of years I must have created hundreds if not thousands of builds all with their own release scripts across tens of databases in different environments and I haven't yet been able to break the ssdt deployment bits without it acyually being my fault or something stupid like a merge that goes haywire (that's one reason to have tests).
The ScriptDom has two ways to use it, the first is to pass it some T-SQL (be it DDL or DML) and it will return a representation of the T-SQL in objects which you can examine and do things to.
The second way it can be used is to take objects and create T-SQL.
I know what you are thinking, why would I bother? It seems pretty pointless to me. Let me assure you that it is not pointless, the first time I used it for an actual issue was where I had a deployment script with about 70 tables in. For various reasons we couldn't guarantee that the tables existed (some tables were moved into another database) the answer would have been to either split the tables into 2 files or manually wrap if exists around each table's deploy script. Neither of these options were particularly appealing at the particular point in the project with the time we had to deliver.
This is a great series with a lot of informative links.

Blinds, curtains, and shades provide privacy, energy efficiency, and style to a house. One way of improving your home is by installing roman shades to your windows. There are various finishes, material, and designs to help homeowners choose the best designs for their house.
Roman Shades in Spring, The Woodlands, and Throughout Houston
Accent Shutter & Shades custom-builds each shutter to match the window shape, color, and style. Regardless of whether a house is new, being remodeled, or noted as being historical, we'll help you match any design. Since our roman shades are built in the U.S. by Hunter Douglas, there's no need to worry about whether a design, style, or material will be available. There are many different fabrics, colors, and materials to choose from when deciding on a design for Roman shades.
Roman Shades Design
Roman shades are known for their rolling or folding design, and the possibilities are endless. When the shades are down completely, the overall look of the window will be magnificent. It will appear to be one continuous flow of design. When the shades are up, there will be an entirely new look to the window from the outside and the inside. Roman shades give the interior house color, balance, privacy, and protection from the morning sun.
Premier Roman Shades Collections
Our premier selection of roman shades come from Hunter Douglas collections. Choose from the Hunter Douglas Vignette Roman collection and the Hunter Douglas Designer Roman collection.
