News Crew Article — Going Green
Category: News Crew
Based on all the amazing articles Jammers sent in, the latest News Crew assignment proved that Jammers really do care about the planet! In fact, there were so many good entries that we couldn't choose just one winner! Read today's winning article below, and check back throughout the week to see all the winning entries. And remember to check back soon for the next News Crew Assignment!
Today's winning article was sent in by Infinity Magichero!
You may have noticed the Earth Day banners around Jamaa giving you helpful tips on how to be green. They're actually quite important to read and understand. My reason for why is because of how important it is to protect Earth the planet WE live on.
Here are just a few ways YOU can make a BIG difference in the world. Some things you can do to go green would be things such as recycling, picking up trash and putting it where it properly belongs, turning off the water when you're brushing your teeth, turning off lights when you don't NEED them on, and so much more!
"Why is going green so important?" you may ask. Well, the reason going green is so important is that it helps our environment a lot, and here are just a few ways of how it does: it can keep the air we breathe into our lungs safer and cleaner, it can keep our favorite animals from going extinct, and more.
I think you should know this though; going green takes careful steps to complete such as recycling ONLY things that are able to be recycled such as empty plastic water bottles, scrap papers, old boxes or plastic containers, and many more things. These are only some of the things you and your family can do to help the environment this Earth Day, and the next, and the next!

Band member Jimi Westbrook says, " It makes me think about those summer days when all that's on the agenda is hanging out, relaxing, and having a good time with friends. So, if that's your plan, here's your song! 'Why don't we do a little day drinking?'"

(6) You Like David!0 Reviews
It's not that simple. --I try to see the good in life but good things are hard to come by---
I recieved a hug from each guy before Seb and I went out to his car which had been parked outside of Chuck's house. "So...you like David!" He accused as soon as we got in to the car.
I blushed. "What? Of course not. I don't even know him Seb." I stated.
Seb smirked. "Yes you do!"
"Seb I've only known him for one day!" I declared.
Seb laughed. "Yes you have been with him all day. That's enough to know David." He joked.
I grinned but it turned to a frown. "Seb, I can't like him." I said, determined.
"Why not?" Seb asked, confused.
"I just ended my relationship with Ben AND I'm just not ready I guess.." I said.
"Wow that was lame." Seb remarked.
"What?" I asked, slightly hurt.
Seb laughed. "I'm just saying you should give David a chance." He stated.
I glared straight ahead. 'Nothing is going to happen between me and David. He doesn't even like me like that." I said.
"Yes he does." Seb said and thankfully we pulled in to a driveway, his I assumed.
"We're home!" He declared and I smiled.
"Hey don't look so down. I won't bring up your love towards David anymore." Seb joked as I frowned. I turned the frown in to a smile and got out of the car, following him in to the house.
He had an extra room with a bed and it was pretty nice actually, I just couldn't believe everything was going so well, something was bound to screw this all up. I'm not really all that pessimistic, but seriously...things can't go perfectly. It's not natural.
5 minutes after Seb left me he came back with a little baggy and some boxers and a big t shirt. "Here..you can use this stuff for tonight.. and there's a toothbrush and stuff like that in the bag." He said with a smile then he yawned. "I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow." He said and then he left.
I got dressed and did everything I needed to do before i finally crawled in to bed, the thing was...I always thought too much when it came night time. It was like my main think time. So now I got to lay there and think through everything that had happened today, which was actually a lot.
Maybe Seb was right. I did like David. But that doesn't mean I'm going to start going out with him, he only likes me as a friend. I won't screw up our friendship for something stupid like a crush.
The next morning I woke up, not even remembering when I finally fell asleep. I heard voices that sounded like the guys and figured that they were all out in the living room already so I made my way out of the room, not even thinking about now horrible I would look when I just woke up.
Entering the room I saw that David, Chuck, Seb, Pierre, and Jeff were all there. They smiled as I entered. "Hey morning." They all called and I nodded in response, rubbing my eyes, I sat on the couch next to Pierre, yawning.
"So you ready for today?" Pierre asked with a chuckle.
I looked up at him in confusion. "What's going on today?" I asked.
"Umm we are going to your old place to get your stuff." Chuck stated.
My eyes widened, I hadn't even thought of that. There's no way.
"But Ben will be there!" I argued.
They looked amused. "It's fine, he can't stop you from getting your stuff." Jeff said.
"I'm just...I don't want another fight." I confessed.
Pierre put his hand on my back and comfortingly rubbed. "It's okay. We won't fight him, just grab your stuff and go."
"Okay..well I can go get it alone then." I said.
"No." David forcefully stated immediately.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because I don't want you getting hurt." David argued.
I glared at him. "David I can protect myself."
"You don't stand a chance against him!" David argued.
I crossed my arms over my chest and Pierre sighed. "We just want to make sure that he doesnt' get violent." Pierre stated softly.
"Yeah, we're just there to help. Ok Glenn?" Jeff asked with a smile.
I smiled back at him. "Fine." I said.

EXCLUSIVE: James Mangold to Direct 'The Gunslinger' for New Regency
James Mangold is heading back to the Wild West, though this time a modern incarnation of it.
Mangold, who most recently helmed Knight and Day and was behind the acclaimed remake of Western classic 3:10 to Yuma, is attached to direct The Gunslinger, a revenge thriller that New Regency is picking up from turnaround from Warner Bros.
Andrew Lazar is producing the project. Mangold's wife and producing partner, Cathy Konrad, will also produce via the couple's Tree Line Film.
Warners initially bought the spec, from John Hlavin (Underworld 4), in May 2009. Described as a contemporary Western, it centers on an ex-Texas Ranger who sets out to punish the men who killed his brother.
New Regency wants to move fast with Gunslinger and is eyeing a spring start. Navid McIlhargey will oversee for the company.
Knight and Day was ripped by some as an example of Tom Cruise's waning star power, but while the movie was a mediocre performance domestically, it proved to be a hit around the globe, grossing $261 million worldwide.
Mangold is repped by CAA and Management 360.

The "I", the interior world, Nakedness.
Shame and Modesty are the natural sentiments that protects the intimate of man. The sense of shame gives rise to the concept of privacy. A man (or woman) without shame, lacks privacy. Modesty for him or her is for people of ancient times. I wonder, when the calendar has become the standard for human's actions.
The natural tendency to protect one's intimate world from the gaze of strangers also includes the body. This is why a person wears clothes. Nakedness is not natural: It presupposes the rejection of privacy. Dressing serves to preserves the body within one's intimacy. Nakedness renders the body an object that is presented in anonymity.

change header-image to clickable logo
I do have my customized header-image (1250 x 125px) with white bg-color and my logo at the left.
I would like to remove that big header-image and just have a small Logo-image at the left which should be click-able (as users usually tend to click onto the Logo in order to return back to the "home"-page).
How can I remove the big image (1250 x 125px) and insert a small image (left-aligned) instead and then make my Logo-image click-able ?
Many thanks,

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Patty R. passed a background check on 7/14/11. The check was ordered by Patty through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Patty, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Dear Student and Parent,
First of all, I write professionally, with books, articles, test exams, and many other types of writing to my credit. Secondly, I teach writing and English at the college level. Finally, I tutor online for an international academic services firm.
For these reasons, I am able to offer more than the average tutoring session.
I provide real-world techniques to quickly improve one's writing. I use these techniques professionally, and I am happy to share them with my students.
I draw upon my many years of work as a college English composition instructor to offer practical, steps-based instruction. I show, as well as tell, what one must do to significantly improve one's writing. In short, I consider myself a writing "coach" who "trains" students to excel and to achieve their "personal best" in any writing or reading course. Many of my students come to my classes afraid of writing, disheartened by prior harsh criticism of their work; they leave appreciating their talents and eager to expand them. I believe this to be unequivocally true: Anyone can write better with the proper motivation and instruction.
As an online tutor, I have reviewed thousands of student essays in all disciplines. As a result, I can quickly assess areas in need of improvement and implement time-honored techniques to do so.
I also realize that time and money are tight these days, and that students and their parents seek the most benefit for each dollar spent on tutoring. Because I am so experienced and efficient, I pride myself in streamlining and fast-tracking a student's progress.
I would be honored to be your tutor!
I am an ESOL specialist and online writing and grammar tutor for a division of Pearson Education. I am an experienced writing and grammar teacher at the college level, having taught many students from different parts of the world. I am an experienced children's educational writer and editor.
I have taught study skills classes for Virginia College and provided study skills instruction as part of my reading and writing classes for Tomball College, Virginia College, Austin Community College, Wharton County Junior College, and University of Texas Medical Branch of Galveston.

The silence is deafening. Now and then, I hear the motors whirring in Earey's camera, and I'm maybe 50 yards from him. Yet nothing else is audible. A sound makes itself known from a couple of miles away, gradually increasing from a gentle whisper to a full-on roar. A ball of sound-almost a white noise-barrels toward us and I can almost feel the air being sucked away, like the beginning of a tsunami, towards the oncoming behemoth. As the huge truck thunders past, its driver lets rip with his horn and my ears are now probably bleeding. The sound becomes a wall of noise before fading away as gradually as it began and soon silence-total, absolute silence-resumes.
We're inside the middle of a mountain. Inside the longest road tunnel in the world. We're in Norway, with an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster. It's snowing outside and it's late at night. We must be mad.
With the new V8 Vantage, Aston Martin suddenly attracted a new type of customer. Younger than ever, with financial-institution bonuses burning large holes in Armani suit pockets, the Vantage buyer wanted something sexy, exciting and loud. If ever a car ticked the right boxes, this was it. Fuelled by internet forum chit-chat, many owners in and around London started organizing impromptu 'tunnel runs'. Late at night, while the streets lay dormant, V8 Vantages would tear through the many underground tunnels that ease traffic from one end of the city to the other. With windows down and engines revving their nuts off, these were orgies of pure sonic pleasure. You can't blame them, really.
When I started to wonder what the ultimate tunnel run would constitute, the V8 Vantage Roadster was an obvious choice. Imagine the noise with no roof at all to spoil the heavenly racket once the revs climbed past 4000 rpm and the killjoy exhaust valves opened up, liberating the true soundtrack of one of the world's greatest cacophonies. With the car decided on, we needed a tunnel to do it justice.
The longest road tunnel in the world is in Norway: land of the Vikings, herring, the mighty fjords, weird pop music and world-class tunnellers. At 15.2 miles long, Laerdal is the longest road tunnel in the world. And when you learn a bit about Norway, you begin to understand why so much effort, money and ingenuity goes into tunnelling.
Look at a map of the country and you'll notice the west coast is peppered with hundreds of what look like small islands. This isn't strictly the case, as the bodies of water that separate the various land masses are known as fjords. I've never seen them for myself before now, but trust me, they're worth the effort. If you live there, however, fjords make getting to anywhere from anywhere else absolute hell. Until recent times, it was usually a case of take a boat to the mainland or swim for it. Hardly ideal for a nation's economy when you consider that Norway's biggest earners are fish and oil-both of which need to be shipped from the fjord-ridden coast. Tunnels, then, are the way to go, and we drove through dozens of them to reach our destination.
Tunnels have, over the years, received a bit of a bad rap. With recent, catastrophic fires in not only the Mont Blanc road tunnel, but also an Austrian rail tunnel in which 155 skiers died, safety was a primary concern with Laerdal, which is why we're in a psychedelic, blue and orange-lit cavern. There are three of these, each large enough to turn a semi around in, should there be a need to evacuate. But that's not the only reason for these huge cathedral-like spaces. They're also there to stop you falling asleep at the wheel.
According to those in the know, passing the lights of a tunnel at a rhythm that matches a driver's heart rate can result in unconsciousness. In a 15-mile long tunnel, the consequences could be horrific, so the engineers cleverly designed a way around the problem. For a start, it's not a straight road. There are bends and gradients. And then there are the caverns (or grottos). Approaching them is like seeing a nightclub in the distance. As you get closer, the sight is extraordinary. To tear through them at high speed is an experience that will live with you for years.
The thinking behind the lighting was to try to imitate the onset of daylight after the inky blackness endured in the rest of the tunnel. So we have orangey lamps at the base that fade into a gentle white light. The lighting rigs suspended from the cavern ceiling are neon blue, supposedly to give the impression of a clear, sunny morning. As a theory, it sucks. But the effect is still mesmerizing.
However, we're hear to experience the full-on noise assault of this incredibly beautiful Aston Martin, not to admire the engineering skills of Norwegians. With the roof down, the lines of the car are staggeringly good-looking. Try and count the number of cars that look better as a convertible than a coupe. Maybe two or three, but the V8 Vantage Roadster is definitely one of them. So beautiful is this car that I want to be in two places at once: sat in the leather-lined cockpit enjoying its superb driving dynamics, while at the same time standing outside, looking at its utter gorgeousness. There are no store windows here to check one's cool reflection, so posing is out. Let's just enjoy the ride.
Fifteen miles is a long way to travel just to check the whereabouts of speed cameras, but it's essential here. There are three of them, pretty equally spaced and I make a mental note of the mile reading on the odometer as I pass them at legal speed. Now I feel more confident that this evening will be one of pleasant memories rather than financial ruin. Starting from the east entrance, I take the Aston back in, gradually letting my speed increase. After three miles or so, I pass the first camera and I know it's at least six miles until the next one. I do the decent thing and drop to second gear before flooring it.
I'm pinned into my seat as the engine's note turns from a deep-bass warble to a high-pitched roar, the car thrusting me towards a horizon that doesn't exist. A quick snatch into third, keeping the revs high enough for the exhausts to stay open, then fourth. The overhead lamps become a white blur and I become aware of the cold air rushing through the open cockpit. There's a lot of wind noise, especially while passing the huge air extraction plants that help ventilate the tunnel. But with the revs on the boil, there's nothing to drown out the heavenly hard-edged sound of the Aston at full throttle.
There's nowhere for the sound to go, except to bounce off the cold, hard, enveloping rock surfaces and back into my eardrums. But at about 120 mph, it seems as though I've left the sound behind. A weird calmness pervades, along with plenty of wind roar. Slow down a bit and the exhaust note catches up-odd and slightly annoying, although it does serve to keep my speed down. Well, a little.
Approaching the first of the blue caverns, I'm still doing over 100 mph. The violence of the noise is stunning and the blue room is quickly getting closer. Closer, closer, closer and bam. I'm roaring through without lifting off the gas, enjoying a sound that, if I could bottle it, would mean I could afford my own Aston Martin. I want to do it again. And again. And again.
Unlike the roads either side of Laerdal tunnel, which are iced up, it's as dry as the Sahara in here. The Aston shimmies over the rumble strips that help keep drivers awake and on course, but otherwise remains utterly composed. The instruments glimmer like jewels, reminding me that this is an incredibly special car, as if the noises it makes aren't enough. Pulling into the central cavern where photographer Earey is waiting, he says he could hear me from maybe a couple of miles away, given how long the noise was building up. Astonishing.
Climbing out of the Aston, the feel is that of entering a movie set, such is the unreal atmosphere created by the bare rock face, bizarre lighting and weird acoustics. A few days before the tunnel was officially opened on November 20, 2000, a wedding took place in this very cavern. "Everyone felt positive about the tunnel. It was a special atmosphere. Romantic and not scary at all," said local Ronny Rinde, 27, who married 24-year-old Vibeke Skjerping.
It's a good job this car wasn't there, it would have upstaged the bride. Even Earey, who claims soft-tops are for girls, is seduced by its lines. Lines that are, to my mind, best appreciated when looking at its profile: pure, lean and athletic. I'm in love.
It's also exquisitely made. The paintwork is delectable and the panel gaps perfect. Those decorative humps behind the two seats are covered in the finest hand-stitched leather. Apart from looking fabulous, they house the roll-over hoops that activate if the car senses it's about to turn over, protecting the occupants' heads. To be honest, if I rolled a car like this, I'd want to commit suicide, but regulations are regulations.
There really is only one niggle with the design: its frankly pathetic trunk space. The coupe makes a strong case for itself as a practical sports car, given the amount of baggage you can squeeze into its rear. The Roadster, on the other hand, has about as much luggage space as my wife's purse. Which is not the best state of affairs when accompanied by a photographer carrying the tools of his trade. Travel light: that's the Roadster's mantra.
I'll forgive this car anything, though, because it looks and sounds so divine. Which, of course, is why we're inside the world's longest tunnel, late at night, with no other traffic. We came to make music and that's what we set about doing once again, while there's still time and fuel left in the tank. It would be rude not to.
I edge back out onto the road, pointing the Aston towards the black hole and floor it, grinning like a buffoon. If I end up deaf after this road trip, it'll be worth it. From one end of this glorious echo chamber to the other, one word keeps seeping into my brain, nagging me to pay attention: encore.
There's nowhere quite like this on our planet and there's no other car quite like this either; the two belong together. Without question, we are the first people to bring a V8 Vantage Roadster to Laerdal tunnel. There's no way we'll be the last. For multiple eargasm addicts, there's no finer car and no finer place to enjoy it.
UnderworldTunnels are a vital part of everyday life in Norway. Laerdal tunnel has enabled a direct road link between the country's two largest cities: Bergen, on the west coast, and the capital, Oslo. Before the tunnel was opened, it was necessary to drive over mountain passes (extremely dangerous in winter) and to take ferries. All of which took an age. Now, without even paying a road toll, the journey between the two cities is barely a day's drive.
It's not as though Norway can't afford to create tunnels like Laerdal, which cost $114 million. The country is the world's top non-OPEC oil exporter, producing more than three million barrels a day-so money isn't exactly scarce. Norwegians enjoy a higher standard of living than most and being able to get from place to place in relative ease is the icing on the cake.
Norway is also home to the deepest road tunnel in the world, Eiksund. This links an island on the mid-west coast to the mainland and is 942 feet below sea level. These sub-sea tunnels are commonplace here and are usually formed by digging beneath the sea bed, as opposed to floating out sections of concrete tube, sinking them and joining them up. It's only a matter of time before Norway goes even deeper underground and Eiksund's record is broken.
In God's CountryIt's the understatement of the century to describe Norway as majestic. The road we travelled from Bergen to Oslo is recognized as one of the world's greatest drives. The fjords bring tourists from all over the world and they really do need to be seen to be appreciated. Sheer mountain sides plummeting into bodies of cold, black water; they take the breath away.
We travelled to Norway from Newcastle in the UK with DFDS Seaways. Their cruise ship, Princess of Norway, is a fine way to travel, although it does take almost a day and a half each way. On the upside, the journey takes in hundreds of miles of Norwegian coastline, which is as dramatic as any in the world.
Our accommodation was in the beautiful ski resort of Hemsedal, which is about halfway between Bergen and Oslo and an hour's drive from Laerdal tunnel. Here, as in any part of Norway, the people are friendly and the cuisine weird and wonderful. We were treated to elk (moose) and reindeer meat as well as speciality cheeses and plenty of local booze. The women are stunningly beautiful too.
Getting from Laerdal back to Hemsedal was not easy, however, as we needed to cross a mountain pass. It was late April, yet the temperatures were definitely arctic and gritting of the icy roads a hit-and-miss affair. The night of our tunnel photo shoot, we needed to be escorted over the mountain by snowplows and it was terrifying. So a word of advice: if you decide to visit this staggeringly beautiful country, by all means do it in an Aston Martin. Just remember to fit those winter tires.

What to Expect from a Mike Allen Camp:
When a player comes to a Mike Allen camp, they will experience much of the same advanced teaching and instruction as are offered at Nike Skill Academies and NBA workouts, but broken down in a progressive form that every player can handle no matter their age or skill level. Players will participate in a daily film session to watch the teaching points and moves they have learned. The film sessions summarize the true purpose of the camp – to teach players how to train on their own! Camp Director and head camp trainer, Mike Allen takes a hands-on approach with all of the players and is present at all times during camp. The ratio of coaches to players will never exceed 10 players to 1 coach, but even that matters very little. Mike's innovative teaching techniques are designed to make every player feel like they are alone with him in the gym.
The I'm Possible Formula:
• 80% of the camp activity is drill work to improve triple threat, dribble triple threat, creating space with the dribble and out of the triple threat, NBA dribble moves, shot mechanics, intense shooting, moving without the ball, finishing, footwork to finish, motion, reading the defense, and decision making.
• 20% of the camp activity is game play. This is where the attendees can practice what they have learned in a game atmosphere. Games are 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 4 on 4 & 5 on 5
Sample Daily Schedule
- 9:00 Stretching
- 9:15 Ball-Handling
- 9:45 One on One Moves
- 10:30 Defensive Work (Stance, movement, communication, desire)
- 11:00 Shooting Work (foot alignment, shoulder alignment, balance, selection, technique)
- 11:30 3 on 3, 4 on 4, 5 on 5
- 12:00 Lunch
- 1:15 Stretching/Warm-Up
- 1:30 Lecture
- 2:00 Ball-Handling
- 2:30 3 on 3, 4 on 4, 5 on 5
- 3:00 Dismissal
Micah Lancaster (I'm Possible Founder and NBA Skills Coach)
"Mike I'm Possible National Trainer, NBA Skills Coach, Camp Clinician) is a phenomenal skills trainer. His skill-sets go beyond just his ability to make players better. He's a true mentor, leader, and counselor for coaches and players!"

Hello, I am Nobody: At least 30 of our existing top earners in OG have been trained by Holton Buggs and only from him. We three brothers are in the team since the beginning, we know OrganGold very well and we also know why some decissions have been taken. We all in MLM should not even think about to argue inside the mlm industrupy. There will always be a new opportunity, but only those who work for values can succeed . MLM produced many millionairs but not all were able to keep the money. We are greatful and full of faith that MLM is the future business. Hello to everybody, Aron
- Kenneth Francis Jr May 21, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Thank you Mr Steinkeller. True professionals focus on what matters and what the Future holds. While rookies wonder what could have been and focus on the negatives. Thank you sir for your extraordinary service to the OG nation.

Yes, it is important to seo who are working online...But the result speaks for itself. DXN is the 28th biggest MLM Company! The following contains the ranking for the 2011 DSN Global 100, our annual list of the top revenue-generating direct selling companies in the world. The list will be published in the June issue of Direct Selling News. In an effort to support transparency and verify authenticity, we implemented a new standard for our 2011 ranking: the Revenue Certification Form (RFC). In addition to an updated profile, we asked each company to submit an RCF signed by the CEO and CFO or designated agent. The Global 100 ranking is based on net revenue before commissions are paid and without any value-added tax. In our research, we identified well over 100 companies that would qualify for the ranking; however, with the new standard in place, we applied a ranking to only those companies that submitted an RCF. We believe the new standard allows us to present a clear and accurate picture of the direct selling industry's top performers. The top companies that publicly reported their numbers and those privately held companies that submitted RCFs are listed below.

When Google co-founders Page and Brin purchased a used Boeing 767 earlier this year, details were sketchy. Today the Wall Street Journal has page-one coverage filling in many missing details—and naturally, the plane will feature in-flight internet access.
The plane will hold about 50 passengers when its refit is complete.
People in the aviation industry familiar with the planned interior say it will have a sitting area, two staterooms with adjoining lavatories and a shower. Farther aft will be a large sitting-and-dining area. At the rear will be 12 to 16 first-class seats for guests or employees and a large galley.
Why a used 767 rather than a new business jet?
Mr. Page acknowledges that the purchase might seem ostentatious. But "we tend to have an engineering approach, to be fact-based," he says. "We looked at this and we just did the economics and we said, 'you know, it makes a lot of sense.'"
The jet was bought for personal, not business use. What kinds of trips will it be used for?
As for what they plan to do with it, Mr. Page wouldn't be specific. He says "part of the equation for this sort of machinery is to be able to take large numbers of people to places such as Africa. I think that can only be good for the world."
The full story is available here.

This page is split into two sections: chronology of the games and of the anime.
Game ChronologyEdit
To start off, you must decide whether to start from Generation I or Generation III. If you start from Generation III, you will go to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen instead, and you will not get to choose Pokémon Emerald because Brendan appears in his appearance from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in FireRed and LeafGreen. As well, choosing Generation III skips Generation II, meaning that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver will take place instead after the Generation IV games.
Choices: Pokémon Red and Blue/Pokémon Green/Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition or Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
If you chose Pokémon Red and Blue/Pokémon Green/Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition, go to Timeline 1.
If you chose Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, go to Timeline 2.
Timeline 1Edit
The second game gives you another choice to decide between Generation II and Generation III. This time, choosing Generation III will allow you to choose Pokémon Emerald if you desire. Choosing Generation III means that instead of Generation II, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver will take place after the Generation IV games instead.
Choices: Pokémon Gold and Silver/Pokémon Crystal or Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Pokémon Emerald
If you choose Pokémon Gold and Silver/Pokémon Crystal, stay here.
If you choose Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Pokémon Emerald, go to Timeline 3.
- Pokémon Red and Blue/Pokémon Green/Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition
- Pokémon Gold and Silver/Pokémon Crystal
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Pokémon Emerald

Social media presents us with real time information from around the world and Dreamforce 2012 is no different. It's constantly buzzing with thousands of social media conversations streaming through our Command Center.
How can your business benefit from real time data? Not only did I attend David Meerman Scott's presentation on the benefits of real time data for businesses, but we had a chance to talk about the concept. By being first to share breaking news, you will capture the eyes and ears of the public and media. These eyeballs can enhance your site traffic, SEO and could even lead to sales. It's a quick and easy way to create content for your community.
There are times when the news can be about you. In the instance of FedEx, responding quickly to a viral video and the buzz around it can actually turn the story in your favor.
According to Scott, all you need are these steps:
- No fear.
- This is the most important piece – don't be afraid to take these steps!
- Stay on top of the latest news (you can even use Google for this)
- Look for stories that just broke and don't have a media flurry yet
- Stories can be in and out of your category – they just need to be relevant to you
- It's all about timing
- Once you find the story, immediately brainstorm content around it
- Get your team in a room and start talking about ideas – you'll likely have a bunch within minutes
- Choose your content medium – blog post, video, etc.
- If it's news about you, respond in the same medium where the story originated
- Create the content and publish it ASAP
- Your content should be clever
- If it's about you, it should solve a problem
- Act like a human and use language the public understands
- Share it on your social channels
- Social media are the tools, real-time is a mindset
- Send the story to your customer base
- Be available to engage and respond when/if the media picks up your content
- Analyze results
- Set metrics around your efforts such as traffic to your site, increased social shares, or conversions
- Be ready for failure
- This will not succeed every time, but you don't need it to. One or two great moments can really boost your exposure
- Failure means that no one saw your content, so no one knows you failed except you
- Do it all over again tomorrow!
It's time to stop making excuses, taking months to plan campaigns and involving lots of people including your lawyers. This real time mentality can result in great success but you have to jump in with both feet. And if your boss is asking for the ROI of this effort, just remember this quote from David Meerman Scott, "ROI is just code for fear."

How to Divide a Lavender Plant
Two Methods:Determine the Need to Divide LavenderDivide the Lavender Plant
Lavender is typically a perennial plant, which means that it lives for more than 2 years. Most perennial plants propagate themselves and must be divided every 3 to 5 years for rejuvenation. To divide plants, gardeners remove them from the ground and separate the mother plant into pieces for transplanting elsewhere. Lavender, however, does not care to be disturbed, and can in fact be set back at least a year when divided. However, under the right growing conditions, thriving lavender plants will spread and live for many years; and eventually, you may need to divide them.
Method 1 of 2: Determine the Need to Divide Lavender
1Pay attention to how much lavender flowers and the size of your harvest as compared to previous years. Slight decreases may be due to differences in the weather; but if the decrease continues with subsequent harvests, you may need to divide the plants.Ad
2Examine the center of the lavender plant. Older lavender plants that need to be divided and transplanted will stop producing flowers in the center, and then begin to show signs that the area is dying off.
3Avoid dividing lavender plants prematurely. Lavender plants should never be divided before they are at least 3 to 5 years old.
4Propagate your lavender plants through cuttings instead of dividing if you are looking for more plants. Cuttings are more effective, and lavender should only be divided when it is necessary for the survival of the plant or it has grown beyond the area you wish to contain it.
Method 2 of 2: Divide the Lavender Plant
1Identify the areas where you want to divide the plant. If the center of the plant is dead, you should be able to easily see the individual clusters that you can section off circling outside of the dead area.
- Be sure that each new division has at least 3 to 5 growing stems and a large enough root base to sustain the new plant.
2Prepare the holes for the new plants before dividing and digging up the old plant.
- Dig a hole for each new plant that is at least 12 inches (30 cm) deep and wide enough to accommodate the plant's root ball.
- Add some organic matter to the bottom of each hole.
3Dig the lavender plant out of the ground. If the plant is not excessively large, the center is not dead, or separate divisions are not easily visible while the plant it is in the ground, you may wish to remove the entire plant before dividing it.
- Use a shovel or garden spade to dig around the outside of the plant, loosening the root ball from all sides.
- Pry down on the handle of the shovel as you move around the plant until the plant releases from the ground.
- Using a shovel, cut the root ball to separate your divisions after the plant is out of the ground. If the tightly-woven roots do not want to let go of each other, use 2 garden forks to pry the divisions apart.
4Dig each new lavender section out of the ground separately. You can do this instead of removing the entire plant if you think it will be easier.
- Plunge the shovel into the ground alongside of the portion you wish to divide, cutting the root ball to separate the new plant. Dig the new plant out of the ground.
- Repeat the process until the entire plant has been divided and removed, or until the remaining plant is the size you want it to be.
5Transplant the new divisions into the holes you prepared.
6Fertilize the new lavender plants lightly. Use a fertilizer that is high in potassium and phosphorus.Ad

Sorry, No Autographs Please!
Writing courses for me weren't very beneficial – but why did I pursue these courses? Was I looking to become a famous author? Of course I was.
I have enrolled in three writing courses, the earliest I recollect quite clearly, and humorous to say the least. The first one was three years ago. It was during the summer months, we gathered at a fine hotel downtown in a fairly large room, however, only a few people showed. The speaker wore Bermuda shorts and donned a Hawaiian shirt (I was suspicious at this point thinking this was possibly a time-share sales rip-off gathering, expecting free tickets to Marine land). But, it was a writing course, only problem was the guy bragged endlessly about his publications, including his book tours, offers from publishers, "too much work with too little time", he kept stating. I sat perplexed thinking, why was he teaching a course in my little city to a group of 7 people? He continuously stood in front of the overhead, so his figure was on the white board. He loved this white board, used assorted colored markers for stats (stats for writing?). Also, PowerPoint pie charts seemed to appeal to him, but not to all of us who would have given anything for a pillow at this point (boring!). I learned nothing from this "wealth-of-knowledge" person and a waste for my $69.50 + tax.
My next course, about a year later, was inside our downtown library, taught by a woman who was the editor of a farming newsletter. As she was speaking, my mind was wandering (I do this often-a major flaw in character) thinking, how much could you write about to include in a 2 or 3 page farm weekly newsletter? I suppose it would be of interest to farmers. The course proceeded nicely; we were split into groups and given mini assignments. The only negative was that the instructor appeared to have run out of material, thereby killing two hours at Arby's, chomping on two orders of roast beef sandwiches, working on an assignment to present to the class in the last half of the day. Overall though, I did take away some knowledge.
My third course was put on by a fellow who looked like Perry Mason. He co-authored a book (forgot the title but something along the lines of "Writing the Perfect Novel"). The book had a picture of an orange peel as a smile on the cover, which I found a tad odd. The session was only scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a few people chastised for arriving at 9:10. The most inviting part of this session were the huge jugs of ice water, as somehow at presentations I always become thirsty. The seats were most uncomfortable reminding me of classroom seating, and this was a hotel; so most disappointing. This aside, the session was a total waste of money and time, as this bozo stood there mostly reading exerts from his "book". I was surprised he didn't have a stack of his books in the wings ready for purchase, already autographed for quick delivery.
Brand new to all of this writing quite a few years back, I still had the smarts to know this guy was shoveling hogwash. He probably paid to have "Perfect Novel" published.
My last and final attempt at a course was with the local college. I was excited about a 4-week online course, but as luck would have it, I needed a student code to register and hounded the college with phone calls, and all to no avail.
So, forget the courses, I will plod along on my own. My intention is not to have a career in journalism; I enjoy this as a hobby and don't want to contend with deadlines and such.
Actually, not to brag, (yes, I am) I have been published. And so, where does this leave me now? Donning my Collections hat by day, a couple of writing credentials at hand, and having a helluva time writing for fun in my blog.
The 1-10 Items or Less Scam. Evidently people can't count. The 1-10 items cashier was designed to allow customers with fewer items not to be penalized and standing in a line where other customer had 20-30 items. But you forever have someone who doesn't play by the 1-10 rules. It's not a crisis if they sneak 1 or 2 extra items, but it's the moron who starts unloading his basket of 15+. The cashier reminds this person, who goes into the whole "confused' routine, but still agrees to process his order. I suspect a scam and I deduce other customers can be found all over town committing "THE 1-10 ITEMS SCAM"!
Self-bagging at the "lesser expensive" grocery stores for me is nerve racking to say the least, and requires great talent, at which I do not possess. I am slow bagging my groceries and will acknowledge it. I typically get that smile-hurry-up look from the cashier that I am holding up the line, as she processed the customer behind me, and waiting for the next customer's groceries after that. Meanwhile, I'm sweating profusely. All of this over groceries? My wish is to return back to the olden days when they bagged your groceries in nice paper bags; sometimes even carrying them out to your car.
THE BP CUFF: There's a moral of a story here…..
Well try this on for size – how about getting your arm wedged in the drug store's blood pressure apparatus. Yep, you heard right.
I went to my drugstore to have a prescription filled. Whilst waiting I became bored looking at the vitamin section and spotted a portable blood pressure machine. Glancing at the instructions, I thought this was a fine idea and could compare these numbers with my doctor's machine.
Having arms that are chubby to say the least, I stuffed my arm into the circular cuff. Instantly, after pressing the green button the cuff inflated at a rapid pace. The cuff was becoming tighter and tighter, and my arm was becoming redder and redder. I yelled for the pharmacy assistant, but incapable to offering help, paged the store manager. "Would Bob please come to the pharmacy immediately". Bob arrived promptly, and even he was powerless to remove my now crimson arm. I felt so trapped – I was so trapped. He raced to fetch some tools, returned to unscrew the cuff – and phew! finally I had my arm back.
Throughout these moments, a small crowd gathered, whispering at what was a comical situation. I was so humiliated, and not at all flabbergasted if my BP was 250/150! I'll only permit my doctor to take it after this lesson.
Moral of the story: if you have a fat arm don't stick it in uncertain waters!
Hey Lady….You Look Like A SKUNK!!!
I always longed for streaks in my hair, admiring other women who had them. Not the big adventurous type, I kept putting it off. Then one day, I glanced in the mirror, saw far too much gray and made a decision right then and there to take the plunge. Previously, I had been dying my hair box-style from the pharmacy shelves; a true pain-in-the-neck practice.
An older woman downtown owned this small hair salon. Cutting my hair on a regular basis for some time, I was impressed with her knowledge, and booked an appointment for streaks and color. I discovered that in today's society they are not called 'streaks', but now 'highlights'. Hey, I was a teen in the '70's. I phoned prior and quoted $48.00 for color and highlights. I thought this a little low in price as phoning around everyone else's price was higher. But, I was used to this woman's talent and went with her.
Arriving, I repeated, "$48.00 for BOTH", she replied, "NO, that's just for permanent color". Then she said, "I'm feeling generous today, I will do both for $48.00". Hmmm, bells should have gone off…was this too good to be true?
She applied the color, which turned out very nice, dried my hair, fluffed it up a bit and now was the time for the highlights. Here goes… She began parting my hair on top…just on top, first mixing this white goop. Then applied these foils, but only on top, and only down the middle. I really didn't question as I thought, maybe this is the way you do highlights. The foils were in place, she applied the goop, and I did ask, "what about the sides", she replied – "this is the way I do it". And so, I waited and waited for the goop to do its thing – read a couple of ho-hum magazines chiefly ignoring the models with trim figures, placed under the dryer and waited some more. The time had come…drum roll… She removed the foils and TA DA! I didn't observe at first, but did deem it too blonde. Subsequently, more blow-drying. I kept staring, my eyes as big as saucers, and was almost in tears. Fluffing my hair up and all excited stating, "aren't you excited with your new look?" UUUUGH – no. I couldn't believe what I was seeing – I LOOKED LIKE A SKUNK! I HAD A MOHAWK!
I don't know why, but I paid my $48.00 bargain and ridicule quickly leaving the salon. Wondering if it was perchance just the mirrors in the salon, I sought to assure myself that perhaps I really didn't look this way, and took every opportunity to gaze at my reflection in store windows. EEEK, yes, this was genuine and gruesome looking.
My husband, arriving home to find a wife with a whole new look, found a woman with brown and blonde hair resembling a skunk with a Mohawk, and in tears.
So my next move: to refurbish this baby. Should I do the pharmacy box color, or play safe and visit a different salon? I knew better than to approach the 'bargain lady', and instead phoned a few salons crying on their shoulders recounting my disaster. Two salons both advised that using box color to patch up the blond would result in green hair!!! Oh gasp! Also, my $48.00 bargain would have resulted in $175 to repair a possible green hair touch-up.
To conclude, the new salon did an excellent job and although the procedure took hours, the blonde chaos was repaired, re-colored and lastly my hair highlighted properly. I was thrilled.
Just Walk Right In – a test for leprosy?
Medical Form: Marital Status? How many years married? Exposure to hazardous materials? Blood transfusions? Family history: Stroke, tuberculosis, liver problems, heart attack, asthma, colon cancer, high blood pressure, nervous breakdown, diabetes, arthritis, alcoholism, kidney disease, migraine headaches List of medications Previous x-rays including: EKG, MRI, CAT scan. Where have you travelled in the past 2 years? Drink: Alcohol? Coffee/Tea? Tobacco: Have you tried to stop? Do you wish to stop? Do you wear a seatbelt? Women: Gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS, other
I am unaware if any of you have ever had the pleasure of a visit to a walk-in clinic. I'm not reproachful of this practice, I mean when your family doctor leaves his/her office for the day, and the cough that you ought to have called him/her about earlier sounds as if you are 'barking', this is the only option you possess.
Walk-In Clinic Pros – You are attended to speedier than at an ER, and the procedure of a triage nurse, killing time in the outer waiting room for hours and escorted to an awaiting bed and lastly assessed, are eliminated.
Walk-In Clinic Cons– If x-rays, stitches or an admission to hospital is required, you will ultimately be sent to the hospital ER.
Upon entering this clinic, I am greeted by a young receptionist who mutters something in limited English, and shoves a clipboard at me attached with a 2-sided information sheet. This sheet appears to contain 1,000 questions which embrace teeny-tiny boxes to tick off. It's mandatory to list diseases from long ago including a test for leprosy?
I complete the form as assigned, digging out some information from my wallet and sometimes guessing at others, and feeling as if I just accomplished an exam. All of this information gathered for a cough? I understand they have to be cautious – but gonorrhea or a nervous breakdown?
Other people waiting eye one another other, wondering if he/she will be the chosen one to proceed next. Throughout this visit, I assume two doctors are on duty by the constant switch of rooms, and of course the male and female both in white coats tip me off as well. Whispers can be heard, others saying amongst each other that they were here long before the lady who just got called.
Misbehaved children run back and forth, screaming loudly, a female finally motioning for them to halt. They do not heed warnings and continue. A few other people also claim a 'barking' cough, but most people in this room seem to hold tissues to their nostrils representing a cold. Sometimes the tissue catches a sneeze, most times not. Magazines are aged and dog-eared, and subjects such as gardening, wine and the Hollywood tabloids don't peek my interest. A television is on, but the sound is mute, for which I am grateful. Rooting through my purse passes some of the time, discovering bits and pieces here and there. I'm puzzled as to why I am carrying so many gum packets and pens. Also, two calculators, can't quite figure that out. An old shopping list pops up, as well as, a yellow sticky note with two phone numbers on. I scratch my head in bewilderment at these numbers. Interesting.
At least during this visit I was lucky enough NOT to sit alongside someone who wishes to chat away the time. I've been through enough experiences with people who care to share a little too much about themselves, and fail to realize it's a one-sided conversation with me on the other side continually saying "uh-hum, oh is that right".
Three hours have passed now, my name is finally called and I am ushered into a very tiny room. The room is sparse (possibly a theft precaution), but is equipped with the standard "bed", and a few jars of cotton puffs, swab sticks and tongue depressors (not big ticket theft items I wouldn't think). The wait is short and a female doctor enters. She quickly scours my medical 'quiz', centering in on my 'non-smoking' status. I guess that is a positive. The other information on the form doesn't appear to matter. Maybe it will be for future use? I am quickly examined, assessed and prescribed a cough suppressant. Two weeks later I'm ok.
The first real hurdle to jump, after the e-mail or mailed resume, is the call for the actual job interview itself. This is followed by the nerve wracking wait by the phone to see if you got the job. Personally, I feel the wait is worse. Antacids could be used at a time like this for quick relief.
Walking doggie is put on hold, so are showers, phoning friends/family, cupboards remain empty due to fear of leaving the house, and each time the phone does ring the heart races and diving across the room for the phone becomes the norm. Hopes are thwarted when it's a telemarketer selling carpet cleaning or hubby wondering what's for din-din.
Suddenly, your mind is swirling. You question the references supplied. Did your last boss really think you were a worthwhile employee and did the bang-up job you thought you did? And the previous references; were they the best choices, and will they remember you? People forget other people fast. Out of sight, out of mind.
Then you begin to question everything else. I should have been quicker with my answers, maybe not mentioned I was a non-smoker, and perhaps shared more of my strong points rather than my weak points, and then the biggie: rehearsed the all important question – "why should we hire you?" That one is always a toughie. You don't want to appear boring and hand them a pat answer such as: "I am a hard worker and dependable". Possibly something such as this: "I have unique skills, am energetic, a team player (I think this is phoney, but employers love these words) who is energetic and committed to any task that my come my way". Also, "I have good attendance, am punctual and a good sense of humor". This may be a better sell.
I do know that you should always ask something at the end of the interview, however, someone told me they asked about the interviewer's family picture on her desk. The interviewer became all red-faced and went into detail about the family photo and who was in it. That would be a no-no. Also, carry copies of your resume and references. Do research on the company. No limp lettuce handshakes. No blabbering on and on – just answer questions short and sweet. No bragging – nothing worse than a braggart. Make sure cell phones are off. Complaining or putting down last boss – MAJOR NO NO. Someone asked an interviewer about his comb-over (stupid, and what purpose did it serve?). Should I call and bother, or not call and bother after the interview? Your decision.
Remember, you are interviewing them too. Is this a place YOU want to work?
You leave an interview at times with the notion that you could have done better; ought to have said this/that, possibly laughed more at something humorous the interviewer said (even though it wasn't), and the brain just sees no end to it all. Suppose you simply have to sit back, maybe make some tea, stay calm and unhappily wait for that call.
Good luck to all who are waiting for that call. I waited for "that call" countless times. Not pleasant; but I did eventually land a position.
By the way: I'm not in H.R. or a job counselor; just wanted to relay some tips.

and I am falling in love with Ernest Hemingway! He is such a charmer and brilliant writer. Enthralled by this novel.
But I would LOVE it if you would come join me on Twitter! I need to keep updated & in touch with you guys!
Twitter link on my page. See you there!
sometimes it's all about confidence.
they say that if you are in a bad mood- and force yourself to smile- you can actually improve your mood and clear away that negative energy.
…i'm not so great about faking it.
mood. confidence. anything.
i am driven by my emotions (which i love.. but also. woah. crazy town. calm down..)
but most times our work is driven by confidence (who am i kidding, everything is). whether you are a writer, photographer, musician, whatever it is that you do… confidence in yourself, in your craft, in your ability- and in the final product makes you more productive, and inspires you to continue on.
you have a bad day at work, nothing went to plan and your dry cleaners was closed early again…
you go through a dry spell… you feel nothing- you can't seem to get out of it…
it all throws you off.
your muse has flourished with someone else, and left her favourite seat in your house dusty and depressing.
you pick through paintings, pictures, books…wishing you could figure out how they did it. hating your style and wanting theirs…
you start to think that maybe it'd be different if you had _____.
gone to an art school
went for your masters
cuter clothes
more money
I held off on starting a family
(fill in le blank with your own excuse.. that i am sure we all have used.)
remind yourself that:
we all have to start out at some point.
there is always someone better than you, and someone worse.
this is a phase, a natural cycle.. and this too shall pass
the more you work.struggle.fight for something- the more rewarding it is in the end.
someone already admires the work you do… (really. i promise. it might surprise you-but it's true)
believe in yourself, in your talent, in your work- so others can believe in you too. (which is so easier said than done… it's a process…)
now pick yourself up off of the floor.
find someone you admire online- and go through their archives and see where they began. it's hilarious, and such sweet medicine. oh god is it ever good…
you see where they started.. and how it was… well. not so great. and you see the time line of a year.. two years… and how far it has taken them.
and then i want you to go through your own 'archives' -old journals that make you cringe, but realise how much you have changed in the years… photos you took that you can't believe you charged money for…one of the first paintings you ever did that you loved.
and then you'll see the growth. the story. the progression.
and if that doesn't work in building some confidence in your craft?
call a friend and go to the movies.
pick up something you have never tried before and do it
bake some brownies. they can be special if that helps…
look up people you went to highschool with and make fun of them. (i'm kidding.. kind of. not really kidding at all..)
the point is.. do something that makes you feel good. do something for yourself. do something to pass the time instead of dwelling on it. just. do. something.
and before you know it
a little peak in confidence, and that controlling little muse will be pounding on your doorstep begging you to spend time with her.
We're so excited and heading over to our new home now to start painting. Yay! :D So happy that I totally forgot that I have hives breaking out on my right foot and chin from something I was allergic to yesterday at the park. :p
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Thank you for always putting me first, for loving me unconditionally, for being the quintessential Grandma and teaching me to be the best MOM I can be.
I love you, Mom! <3 Happy Mother's Day!

Starlin Castro strained his left hamstring running out a ball today in Mesa, and will miss
Starlin Castro strained his left hamstring running out a ball today in Mesa, and will miss
a significant stretch of time. The early call was day to day but with Opening Day more than four weeks away there's no reason to push him to come back quick. Castro had hit a grounder to shortstop Dee Gordon and pulled up down the line after Gordon threw wildly to first base. The injury figures to be a good thing for prospect Javier Baez, who will join fellow non-roster guys Edwin Maysonet, Brent Lillibridge and possibly Alberto Gonzalez in filling in for Castro. Logan Watkins could also get some time there but is viewed as more of a second baseman. Castro had appeared in improved shape. Perhaps he did a little too much getting ready for camp.

@ScottyLobdell 's brilliant Superman #0 ; Great to see Lara as Jor's Kick Ass equal, in smarts and Klurkor. Superman #0 has lots of affectionate nods to past Superman back on Krypton Stories, and plays on the Heavy Gravity of Superman's homeworld as one reason that space travel was difficult for Kryptonians.
The high G world of Krypton was imagined by Cary Bates in the bronze age to have been colonised by Kryp and Tonn (Superman #238) two space fairing 'Robinson Crusoes' who become Adam & Eve to Rao's World.
Questions outstanding would be why Kryptonians are tall relatively slender and crucially in every other way human in appearance, opposed to super-squat heavy dwarfs! Which would be the logical expectation of life forms evolved adaptation to a high gravity world.

I'm just thinking how mom is as kickass and spirited as the woman Kal is about to date. Lara delivers a mean mule kick...
