The Sweep
Wherever we go, we seem to leave things.
Michele Ashamalla: Not big things, like a child or a car, but enough little things that it can be annoying. And expensive. So I started some contests with the kids. There's the "Hotel Room Sweep" -- anyone that finds an item my husband and I have missed gets a quarter (the last trip, a quarter saved me from buying a new power cord for my computer). There's also the "Cross-Town Friend's House Sweep," where the finder of the most forgotten items gets total control of the radio on the drive back.
I used to leave a lot of baby items wherever we could spread out. I didn't come up with this one when we still had an infant, but I wish I had. I think I would have held on to a lot more bibs and sippy cups! This is particularly helpful when you are visiting a friend 20 or more miles away and certain items cannot just be picked up the next day. I am also a fan of the "Airplane Sweep," where extra points go to children who find items in the aisles or that have rolled into other rows. Of course, items left or lost can always be replaced, but why buy if you don't have to?
A former state deputy attorney general and current stay-at-home mom, Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla has three kids and ten years of experience stretching one salary to cover the necessities and more. She's all about saving money whenever you can, so you have it to spend on whatever you want!

St. Armands Circle
Circus magnate John Ringling purchased the property that is today's St. Armands Key in 1917. His vision for this unique planned development included a shopping area laid out in a circle, European-style, in addition to residential homes. Ringling Circus elephants were used to haul in the timbers to build the bridge that would connect the area to the mainland.
Today's St. Armands Circle is a shopping & entertainment district unparalleled in the world; its large roundabout circles a tranquil park which hosts numerous public events year-round. The shops, restaurants and businesses on the Circle are upscale - here you can find everything from fine jewelry to a new outfit for Fido (or Fifi.)
After shopping, walk over to nearby Lido Beach, an original eco-haven. Just a short stroll down this pristine beach will reveal many varieties of sea life; sea shells, sea turtle nesting grounds and protected bird habitats, in addition to the more human outdoor activities of volleyball, fishing and people-watching.
By now it's getting dark and the Circle is really coming alive - pick your choice in international cuisine ranging from the Columbia's legendary 1905 salad and signature Cuban bread to Cafe L'Europe's traditional French Chateaubriand for two. Continuing the international circle, your evening ends with you hoisting a pint to new friends at Lynches Pub and Grub, an authentic Irish neighborhood pub.
St. Armands, you've come full circle.
PS - "Namesake," some real estate trivia:
Charles St. Amand bought property on this island in 1893. However, his name was misspelled (as "St. Armand") in the land deeds, and this misspelled name is still used today for this area. Lesson learned: when conducting a real estate transaction, remember to double-check your name spelling, as your legacy will surely live on for decades!

Overturn Impresses at Sandown
(Healy Racing Photos)
Jason Maguire's mount soon had a sizeable advantage and jumped fluently from the off, pinging the Railway fences and finishing full of running despite his eagerness to get on with things in the early stages.
Sent off the 3/10 favourite, Donald McCain's eight-year-old - runner-up in the Champion Hurdle and winner of top events over timber and on the Flat - finished 14 lengths clear of Thanks For Coming.
The eight-year-old was cut to 8/1 from 10s for the Arkle with Sky Bet.
Richard Horner of Sky Bet said: "Overturn has been trimmed to 8/1 from 10/1 after an impressive fencing debut at Sandown.
"He should have beaten the three rivals in that style but he has now proved he can jump a fence well and this 164 rated hurdler is now a clear second favourite behind Simonsig."

I understand what you're saying but the good tank watches for when the mob goes for the healer and then picks it back up. ;) We have to let the dps learn somehow, otherwise they seem to think it's ok to pull the mob/boss whenever they feel like it.
So few either don't know or understand the mechanics of some situations and just pull then they start blaming everyone else for the wipe. If they tank doesn't pull right away, chances are they are waiting on position, cool downs, healer, or mechanics. If the tank sits there for a 2 minutes or more, then he's probably gone afk or DCd, in which case I wouldn't pull to get things started but maybe check on them and if no response, initiate a vote kick. If you don't have time to wait on other people to play a game then playing a social game may not be for you. ;D

JONATA 2009 PROPRIETARY RED "TODOS" SANTA BARBARA COUNTY 750mLROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "Jonata truly stands out in the Central Coast as a producer of exceptionally refined wines. This year I tasted with Winemaker Matt Dees and General Manager Armand de Maigret. According to Dees, macerations were quite long in 2009 because the grapes had very high levels of phenolic ripeness. Vintage 2010 was trickier, especially with regards to rain that claimed at least one victim, the Cabernet Franc-based El Alma de Jonata, which was not produced that year. The 2009 reds were all in bottle, while the 2010 reds were in barrel. I also tasted the new releases from The Hilt, a new Pinot/Chardonnay project that is reviewed separately in these pages.
"Readers who want to explore the Jonata wines without investing in the top bottlings will want to check out the 2009 Todos, which is strikingly beautiful. It shows marvelous intensity, great depth and tons of intensity from start to finish. Layers of dark red and black fruit and flowers flow effortlessly from this flashy, totally dazzling wine. Today, the 2009 boasts huge fruit and an equally compelling personality. Although priced well below some of the other wines in this lineup, it is not clear to me the Todos is far off the mark of those wines at all. Todos is a bit of a kitchen sink blend composed of 63% Syrah, 12% Sangiovese, 11% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and dollops of Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."
Owned by Stanly Kroenke, the same gentleman that owns Screaming Eagle, Jonata has catapulted itself to the forefront of Santa Barbara County winemaking! Their vineyards are sustainably farmed, the wines routinely received high scores from the critics, and it was their Todos blend that really struck a chord with us this year! Todos translates to everything, and no, Jonata didnt just blend every single barrel of the leftovers. There were fantastic barrels of Cabernet, Syrah, Merlot, etc., so winemaker Matt Dees (pictured to left) did blending trials with specific quantities of each varietal, and for the past few years, Todos has been an incredible wine for the money! It has earned 93 points from Wine Advocate and is a great way for consumers to sample the house style at a fraction of the price of the top bottlings.

Hanoi Hannah; Windsor.
Hanoi Hannah
180 High Street
When it comes to Vietnamese pho, I find my choices are limited to the ones in Richmond or in the Melbourne CBD which aren't the most pleasant of dining experiences. There are those which try to set themselves apart, Miss Chu in the city and Dandelion in Elsternwick, they succeed in creating an atmosphere I'd want to come back to, but the food is lacklustre in my opinion.
Hanoi Hannah on the other hand, is close by, has a chilled laidback feel and a mean bar. You could spend the afternoon on small bites, or a bowl of pho and a myriad of cocktails. It somehow works. The dishes are light and summery, perfect for sharing.
Pineapple & Lychee
Non-alcoholic, icy with little coconut and lychee bites.
Balalot - Crispy Betel Leaf Beef Cigars ($8)
On the gamier side, a good clean bite of beef, the slightest shade of pink.
Home Made Prawn & Veg Spring Roll ($7.5)
The spring rolls surprisingly had a nice crunch to it, and were piping hot. Lettuce wrap and my weakness - fish sauce.
Mixed Mushroom Pho ($10.5)
This was probably the dish I was most apprehensive about. But the broth was no different to any other vietnamese pho I've had in Melbourne, the noodle had was silky smooth with a nice bite, and I quite like the vegetarian option, an assortment of juicy mushrooms.
I was disappointed to discover that the pork belly sliders were only available for dinner, as were a few other delectable items on the menu, of which I most certainly will come back for.

José Santos Chocano Biography and Poems. This is biographical information on José Santos Chocano, one of the best poets of all time. This biography page also provides a link to poems written by Chocano, as well as, a video biography...if available.
José Santos
José Santos Chocano Gastañodi (May 14, 1875 – December 13, 1934) was a Peruvian poet and political activist, whose work was widely praised across Europe and Latin America. Chocano interacted with major Spanish poets, as well as statesmen from many different regimes, where he was treated as a poet laureate. He claimed to have rediscovered Latin America through verse in his 1906 collection 'Alma América', which carried an introduction by the distinguished philosopher-poet Miguel de Unamuno. Chocano was involved in many violent feuds with other intellectuals, and was jailed for shooting a journalist who had criticised him. In his turn, Chocano was stabbed to death on a tram in Santiago de Chile by an unknown assailant.

13 perfectly patterned rooms
Large and in charge
If your all-solid room is looking a bit drab, try easing into patterns.
Bing: Stylish slipcovers
Freshen up a piece of furniture, such as an armchair, with a patterned slipcover. Then hang a large piece of artwork at the focal point of the living room for an instant update.
Tame animals
Not all pattern play has to be loud. Spruce up your space with zebra pillows and a matching rug. Keep the rest of the neutral decor untouched to help this feminine space maintain its quiet feel.
Playful prints
Complement a bold orange sectional with a fun ottoman -- or two. (They're easy to change when you're ready to swap out the pattern.) Add coordinating throw pillows to complete the lively look.
Bing: How to use throw pillows
Head to toe
Striking patterns turn a nondescript white room into something special. For a dramatic look, consider patterned, floor-to-ceiling curtains. Choose an area rug in the same color scheme to balance the horizontal and vertical patterns.
Pretty in pink
Energize your living room with layers of patterns. Start with a solid wall for your backdrop and let the patterns pop.
Bing: Decorating with pink
Stick to one color family to avoid sensory overload.
Bottoms up
Still not convinced that patterns are for you? Try decorating your living room with all solids, except the area rug.
Video: Cheap ways to transform your home
Choose a color block pattern that is interesting to look at without making your space unbearable. And don't be timid when selecting the solid pieces. Commit to at least one bold hue, like a sunny yellow.
Mix and match
It turns out you can pair polka dots with stripes. The large pieces in this room each boast a different pattern, but thanks to their subdued color palette, the prints work together to create a perfect union.
Flair for drama
Love the look of a bold pattern but afraid to commit? Use loud patterns in a place that can easily be updated, such as chairs, in case you change your mind. To create an eye-catching aesthetic, showcase patterns on an unexpected piece, like an X-bench or a fabric lampshade.
Child's play
Kids rooms are a perfect place to experiment with patterns. Retro wallpaper combined with the striped rug doesn't overwhelm the space, but instead gives it a sense of playfulness. Our verdict? Just have fun with it.
Buttoned up
Going for a more sophisticated look? Patterns can solve your problem. Stick with solids for your largest pieces, such as the sofa and ottoman. Choose a mix of fun prints and a more traditional one, like a plaid, to adorn your pillows and window treatments.

Jun 6th 2008 11:46AM @ Geo Lara
Except in using MgT on normal as your example of people getting Armory'd, you are attempting to put MgT on the same difficulty level as normal Mechanar (which many will agree is easy as heck given a half-decent group) ; even well-geared groups who don't know the instance find MgT hard on normal. Not super-hard, but still a fun mini-challenge in preparation for the heroic. Without people who know what to do when the "OH CRAP" moment hits, a newly minted 70 would die if mobs started running around crazily.
I refuse to continue the run if the group wipes three times before the third boss is even reached. If they can't handle the 5-pulls, there's no way they could handle Delrissa and the PVP-style fight or even Kael.
Armory people for that instance, but that's it.
The experiences that we gain in running the lower level stuff and learning to play our classes is what makes someone a good player. Blizz unfortunately has made it a bit too easy to level up to 70 without really learning the mechanics of what we're playing.

Drapes High And Wide?
January 11, 2013 in Design Dilemma
Can someone please explain this to me? if the top of the window trim to the floor is 84", should I get longer drapes and hang them up close to the ceiling?
I feel it's a personal choice. I've put the rods above the window in some rooms, while in others I've put them up to the ceiling, below the crown molding. It's just a matter of what you like for that space.

It depends on whether you want your ceilings to appear to be higher than they are. Floor to ceiling curtains will visually heighten the ceiling of a room. It's a popular treatment for rooms with average 8ft ceilings.
Matteo Dezigns
Ultimately whatever you feel most comfortable with, but personally, design 2 makes a cleaner and more dynamic statement. Design 1 is dated and what was the old school of thought. Ceiling to floor drapes will make your room feel 'taller'

Cain Velasquez Hoping For A Payback Fight With Junior Dos Santos But Thinks Overeem Will Win.
My predictions are never very good, but oh well:
Bigfoot will stomp Nelson
Cain will KO Mir in the 1st round
JDS will KO slow Overeem….1st round, possibly 2nd if Reem can survive the 1st, but I doubt it.
Bigfoot will stomp Nelson
Cain will KO Mir in the 3
Overeem will KO JDS in the 1st or 2nd
This may be the toughest main event to pick in a while. JDS by armbar! but I am rooting for the REEM.
Mir will go wobbly in the first 2 minutes.
Nelson to submit big foot,
Mir to submit Cain,
Reem ko JDS.
Mir will submit cain.. Cain is overrated
Overeem by submission probably a guillotine
mir will turn into a cabbage patch face like his 2nd fight w/ brock
Cain has a glass jaw. He wont beat dos santos unless they let him wear a helmet. I think big country may actually beat bigfoot silva.
@ 1:21 Golly, Miss Molly.
jds is better striker.
jds ko overeem (round 1)
k1 is overrated
@ J-Bone I agree Mir vs Overeem is coming…
Really??Cain has a glass jaw because he got KOed by one of the most powerfull puncher in the UFC…Go watch soem fights and don't judge a guy with his last fight because that's really a stupid statement.Cain got punched hard on the jaw by Kongo and wasn't out.The only fighter who didn't get KOed by JDS is Roy,and he was pretty close to getting KOed.
@Danby, Cain was hit on the temple/ear, not the jaw. His equilibrium was thrown off and JDS capitalized on it.
Cain doesn't have a glass jaw.
He has a glass ear though. Punch him in the ear.
what happend to shane carwin?????????

New iPhone dock: One of Apple's worst ideas?
Reports suggest that the company is switching from a 30-pin to a 19-pin setup -- rendering users' current accessories obsolete.
Apple's (AAPL) next iPhone is due for a radical redesign. Among the more controversial changes, the company will reportedly switch from a 30-pin dock connector to a smaller 19-pin design for its future iPhones and iPads, starting this year. According to Reuters, the move is certain to frustrate millions of Apple fans who will have to replace their existing accessories — such as iHomes or car chargers — to accomodate the new connector. The 30-pin system has been an Apple standard since the first iPod.
Is changing the design now an unnecessary annoyance, or actually an innovative step forward?
A lot of people will be angry: The change "will obsolete a decade of accessories," says Ed Oswald at Extreme Tech. Apple may be doing this for good reasons, "but it's going to cause a world of hurt for upgrading users." Car chargers, docks, iPod/iPhone car integration, and other add-ons will all be rendered useless. For third-party accessory makers the change will "prove a gold mine," but consumers with a lot of accessories will need to tack a few hundred extra dollars to the price of a new device.
Deal with it: This move has to happen, says Adrian Covert at Gizmodo. "As much as it seems like some greedy ploy by Apple to screw you over and force you into buying another set of expensive toys," the truth is that "any innovative, forward-looking company has to make these difficult breaks with the status quo." By shrinking the dock connector and opening up extra space, Apple will be able to cram more hardware into the iPhone, resulting in a better phone overall. That's how technology works.
Apple might do fans a solid: "There's been speculation that Apple could sell an adapter," says Adrian Kingsley-Hughes at ZDnet, which would allow the 19-pin connector to be hooked up to accessories designed for the older model. On the other hand, Apple could hardwire the iPhone to prevent third-party versions of an adapter from functioning, meaning more control for Apple over the accessory ecosystem. In that case, tough luck.

Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said Thursday he feels the committee will reach a bipartisan agreement on overhauling healthcare.
Baucus said both Democrats and Republicans are working to reach an agreement.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with members of his committee, Baucus said "all participants clearly want to reach an agreement."
Committee negotiations continued Thursday to find a way to pay for the $1 trillion 10-year cost of the overhaul with revenues both parties will accept.
President Barack Obama wants the Senate to complete work before the August recess.
4 Responses to "Baucus: Bi-partisan health care bill possible"
Ah, there's nothing quite like a grinning "crimpol" that's made an unholy deal within the depths of corporate hell itself than Senator Max Baucus, a "Demoncrat" from Montana.
I'm resupplying a link that I've posted three times to this site concerning this arrogant Senator for a pro corporate medical agenda in AmeriKa.
Should we trust this man relative to the media who's waxing poetically about a "bipartisanship" agreement…?
Bipartisanship sounds scary to me and hopefully to our readers too. It means both sides of the aisle have come to an agreement on how to screw "we the people" evermore so.
I think "NOT"…!
I urge viewers to view the supplied link and then to think, just think if there's any redemption for this guy relative to our collective protections concerning bi-partisanship support. Truly scary, both about this arrogant Senator and anything he might be involved with indeed…!
Carl Nemo **==
Now is the time for single payer universal heath care in the United States of America. Currently, Americans pay more per capita for health care than citizens of any other country in the world, yet in health outcomes, we rank about 35th among all developed countries. These statistics contradict the myth being touted by the private health insurance industry that our health care system is excellent.
Employer provided health insurance is counterproductive to job growth because of the excessive cost burden put upon the business owner. Further, if you lose your job, you lose your health insurance and are forced to pay outrageous premiums at the time you can least afford them. The development and implementation of a national single payer healthcare system will promote job growth by removing the cost of healthcare burden from businesses.
Currently, there is no free market for health insurance, as the private health insurance industry claims this is. Employers decide which health insurance plan they'll provide to their employees, usually based on their cost. There is no choice for the average American employee, and the policies offered to the employers, that are affordable, are continually costing more and offering less to the insured. Further, the health insurance industry forces the groups applying for health insurance into the smallest and most expensive insurance pools possible. This policy prohibits small employers from joining together to have access to more economical insurance rates, further eroding their changes for growth in this tight market.
The only way comprehensive, universal and cost-effective healthcare will be provided to every citizen in this country is through a single-payer system. That is just a simple reality. There is too much waste in our current private health care insurance industry, which currently has an estimated waste of about $400 billion to $500 billion a year in administrative costs, in billing, in CEO compensation, and in advertising. These things have nothing to do with providing healthcare and are for the sole purpose of industry profit.
Health care coverage is so expensive that the only cure will come from a major overhaul of how it is provided. The changes the insurance industry, along with their lobbyists and protectors (some of our elected officials) advocate, will not be a solution to our nation's health care problems. This is merely keeping the status quo by an illusion of change. Health care should not be for profit because, by definition, the interests of the shareholder must take precedence over the interest of the customer (insured) to maintain profits. We need a public payer plan that will create a large national pool that is necessary to generate genuine competition to the current monopoly in the health insurance industry, and that will provide true large-scale buying power on our behalf with doctors, hospitals and the drug companies. By eliminating the high overhead and profits of the private, investor-owned insurance industry, along with the excessive paperwork imposed on physicians, hospitals and other providers, the public payer plan saves at least $400 billion annually, which is enough money to provide comprehensive and quality care to all.
A single-payer healthcare system squeezes out the waste that the private dysfunctional healthcare system has created. Only a small percentage of Americans judge private health insurance companies to be honest and trustworthy. Further, many Americans with private health insurance are still running up large debts, filing for personal bankruptcy, and even delaying or forgoing treatment because they can't afford care. A study shows medical bills underlie 60 percent of all U.S. bankruptcies. Studies have found that almost 75 percent of voters want everyone to have a choice of a public health insurance plan, while only 15 percent want everyone to have private insurance.
We need to ask ourselves if our health care system should be based on the for-profit business model or a not-for-profit public financing system. Do we want our health care system to be for patients and their families or for corporate market stakeholders and their investors? As a basic human need, is healthcare a right or not? Are we a compassionate country who stands up together for each other and recognizes the strength in the common good, or are we a country filled with self-interested individuals who stand alone? We need to remember that America is a country of the people, by the people, and for the people; and we the people need to take an active role in the current debate in our government about affordable access to quality health care for every American.
You're right in suggesting that there is no free-market in the healthcare business, but a single-payer system is the antithesis of a free-market system.
Let's remember that it was the government that created this system back in the seventies. Before then health insurance was available for unexpected emergencies, not routine care and prescriptions.
The problem is that people don't want to pay for it at all, be it from direct paycheck deductions or out-of-pocket. What we don't realize is that we will pay for it anyway, and the government's track record for waste, fraud, corruption and abuse should leave any thinking American with a feeling of utmost dread.
What's being considered now is truly frightening for anyone that has the tiniest inkling of what it takes to be healthy. And this ain't it.
What we fail to consider are the reasons why we are among the sickest people on the planet. It isn't completely due to healthcare. It's because we're plain stupid and lazy.
Most of our food comes straight from a chemistry lab. The nastiest garbage on the planet. When we get the simplest of colds, its off to the doctor for more chemicals.
We have no idea how to take care of ourselves. We want everything handed to us. We don't want to think for ourselves nor do we want to take any repsonsibility for our own well-being.
Overweight? Take a pill.
Got the sniffles? Take a pill.
Can't sleep? Take a pill.
I personally pay six thousand dollars a year for healthcare and I haven't been sick or been to the doctor in ten years. It's there for emergencies, not routine healthcare. For that I rely on self-education and eating healthy.
But I'll be damned if I'll pay for the idiocy of others. We'll never get a handle on healthcare unless we address the fundamentals of why we're so unhealthy. And it ain't the lack of health insurance. It's the lack of knowledge.
Good post, Janice. Another point, requiring employers to provide health insurance for their employees makes American businesses less competive with foreign businesses, and costs jobs. It would be better to fund health insurance, at least partially, with a consumption tax, such as a value-added tax (VAT) as is done in other countries. This step would increase exports and reduce imports, and improve our balance of payments.

As if we didn't have hurricanes and floods prior to the industrial revolution? The ansewer to your question is likly yes, because we've always had a weather problem that has nothing to do with human beings. Its nature, get a helmet.

Yes, we've always had hurricanes and floods. But now we're going to have a whole lot more water in the oceans and because of that, the damage of these storm events will be truly catastrophic.

That's absurd. Even if they fo raise, it won't make a bit of difference other than -ghasp- beach front property owners might jave to move 30 whole feet back for things to be exactly as they are now. And that's taling the moat alarmist of predictions as fact, which I don't. This whoke idiocy is alarmist drivel. No different from any other apocalyptic cult.

Yeah, we have to care about the ice caps melting. Perhaps we shouldn't be driving all of those SUVs, use all of those jets to fly from Global Warming conference to Global Warming conference, occupy 21,000 square foot houses, etc. al.
Oh- those ice caps I mentioned earlier- they're on Mars.
Our biggest driver of warming? 4 light seconds away. You may know of it as "the sun".
You may also want to go over and talk to one of the groups producing the most methane production on this planet- more than all of our gas-guzzling automobiles- and ask them to cut back on the production... unfortunately, the only thing they'll say to you is "moo".
Now, I have nothing against 'green energy'. Unfortunately, this has been a 'concern' of people since at least President Carter- and even with 35+ years of subsidies, we're no closer to getting affordable energy from those sources than we were back then. How much in government largess is it that we shell out every year to 'green energy' companies, and they're kilowatt-per-hour costs are still 5x-25x above and beyond whatever costs 'normal' energy is?

Steve- it's one thing to be wrong. It's quite another to be the opposite of clever.

Jim, feel free to refute my statement with facts.
Looking forward to it, as a matter of fact- I would be interested in knowing what's out there to refute any of what I said.

Bag is made of deerskin leather. Hand cut and tied 12" fringe with brass beads and buffalo horn hairpipe. Lacework on flap edge. Center flap is handpainted wolf shield. Artic fox fur on front bag under flap. Purse measures 11 1/2" tall and 9 1/2" wide. Long shoulder strap made with 4 strips of leather braided round. Pocket on back of bag.I made this bag and am not enrolled member of any nation....I am of Blackfoot descent but am not enrolled. The painting on flap was done by a friend Duane Red Bear who is enrolled Lakota.So I guess the end result is that the bag is part Indian! The shipping for International is for Priority Mail. If value is over 100.00 I must ship Priority, if under 100.00 I will ship First Class International if desired. I will also ship to other countries not listed but shipping varies so please write. U.S. shipping will also vary by zip code but there is no option to calculate postage so if you wish to purchase an item you may contact me first to get the exact shipping or I will refund if overpaid.I will combine shipping on items and they will be packaged and weighed together.......so since I do not know what items will be combined I cannot say what cost will be in advance. Contact me! Have any questions? Contact the shop owner.

FAA Reauthorization Extended 14th Time
Before high-tailing it out of Washington, D.C., last week for what is euphemistically called the Independence Day "district work period," Congress extended funding for FAA operations and programs for a 14th time. New reauthorization legislation has been bottled up in a conference committee that is wrangling over a knotty problem that has next to nothing to do with the FAA–a little known provision tucked into the House bill that would make it easier for ground workers at FedEx to organize a union. Congress has been unable to pass a multiyear FAA bill for almost three years, and while there are other differences between the House and Senate bills, the labor dispute involving unionized UPS and non-union ground workers at FedEx pits Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) against House Transportation and Infrastructure chairman James Oberstar (D-Minn.). The Senate bill lacks the FedEx clause, and Rockefeller has said reauthorization will not pass the Senate if it includes the FedEx provision.

Super Green Coffee is not the same as a cup of coffee, nor does it have the same properties as roasted coffee. Green coffee extract helps you lose weight almost without effort. It's all natural, doesn't contain any fillers or hidden ingredients, so you can easily lose all the weight you want.
Although there are some that will tell you coffee is not good for you, it has been used for many, many years as a weight loss or rather a controller of weight. That means, back in the olden days they used it to suppress the appetite. That was for roasted coffee.
Recent studies show using green coffee beans, that's before they are roasted, are better for weight loss. The studies showed an average of 17 pounds was lost in a 12 week period. That's over 10% weight loss from the entire body. It also showed there were no side effects and fat content went down 16% in each per person. That was an unexpected result from using Super Green Coffee.
Since weight control is getting out of hand in most countries, it's good there is something that can help people control their eating. It's a fight to control obesity and it's fast getting out of control. It will help control your weight, but more importantly, it will help control type 2 diabetes. You develop type 2 diabetes when you're more the 20 pounds overweight. It can have a damaging effect on your body including suffering from kidney problems, high blood pressure, and heart and lung ailments.
Super Green Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, which releases glucose in the body while it helps burn the fat that would normally be stored in the fat cells. The way the body works is it first uses the nutrients from the food you eat as energy and stores the extra in fat cells to use later. Using Super Green Coffee burns the fat before it's stored in the fat cells.
If there is already fat stored in cells, the chlorogenic acid forces the cells to release it, so it can use it for energy. It burns the fat right off your body. It also boosts your metabolism rate, so it can burn the fat at an even faster rate.
One last benefit chlorogenic acid does is stop the fat from being absorbed into the body. That means you won't gain weight, because your body will burn the fat before it gets stored in the fat cells. Pretty cool the way the body works with a little extra help, huh?
Taking two capsules of Super Green Coffee a day will kick start your weight loss program and get it off to a great start. You'll be able to lose all the weight you want and get the body you want, just with two little pills a day.

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." – Albert Einstein
Compete Every Day recently shared the story of Ping Fu, a woman who survived the tortures and gang-rapes of a Chinese prisonlike facility to rise and grow into one of the top technological leaders in the world today. Today highlights the story of another young woman who survived the horrors of evil and is now using her life to compete for those she left behind.
Somaly Mam has the upbringing that one cannot wish upon their worst enemy. But the Cambodian woman's resilience and mission is one that simply cannot be understated. Born into poverty, Somaly was sold into slavery by a man posing as her "grandfather." A victim of human trafficking, Somaly spent her childhood in the war torn country as a prostitute and tortured prisoner. After watching her best friend murdered in front of her, Somaly made plans to escape. In 1993, with the help of a French aid worker, she escaped to Paris and eventually married a French citizen. Instead of living in fear and assuming the identity her traders and abusers gave her, Somaly forged herself a new identity – as a woman hellbent on competing for women caught in the same situations she had endured.
"I just want to help them, I want to be the family for the kids who don't have a family," she shared.
Somaly Mam is now one of the world's leading activists against human trafficking. More than 12 million people are engaged in forced labor according to an UN agency. 12 million slaves in the world today. That's heartbreaking. But Somaly and those like her are taking a stand. Through the Somaly Mam Foundation, thousands of girls have been freed and integreated back into society – free from the chains that previous bound them. "In addition to physically freeing those being sold, the foundation works to emotionally and economically strengthen the women in order to face the future with hope."
Their opponents send in death threats, attack her, and make numerous failed assassination attempts on Somaly's life, but she continues to stand strong. Traffickers, obviously scared of Somaly's force, even kidnapped and raped her daughter to try and get the leader to back off of her attack on their illegal business. Still, Somaly and her family continue to fight the forces of evil, never bending to their demands or negotiating.
"We all know that our lives are in danger. I've never been so happy in my life. They can kill me now," she told the New York Times.
In other words, "bring it on because I won't back down." Now that is motivation.

@kingerz: I doubt anyone downrated you for criticizing the idea that easy is good. What they're downrating you for is the ridiculously absurd statement you made that cooking "was expensive and / or challenging". It has never been either, and making it easy to achieve quickly during a holiday is just a nice little benefit. It does not devalue something that was once valuable or difficult. It's cooking for crying out loud. It's always been a trivial skill that requires nothing more than cooking up a few easy to obtain ingredients before a fire. You can't trivialize something if it's already trivial to begin with.
You sound like you're taking it way too seriously. And your general tone was insulting (it's kinda hard to throw around words like "pathetic" without being so). The criticism you claim you were making is something most of us would agree with you on, but as is usually the case, people are *not* generally downvoted for what they say, they're downvoted for the way they say it. And in this case, for the fact that it doesn't really apply in this case.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Snack Attack!
Tip 1: Soluble Fiber to The Rescue!
Foods rich in soluble fiber make for great snacks because soluble fiber leaves the stomach slowly, encouraging better blood sugars and making you feel satisfied longer. Here are some possible snack ingredients that are high in soluble fiber:
- peas and beans (make a quick bean dip in the microwave with some vegetarian refried beans or have some cooked "edamame" soybean pods ready in the refrigerator)
- oats and oat bran (make a batch of oatmeal flavored with low-fat milk, a little vanilla extract and cinnamon in the microwave -- or freeze a batch of blueberry oat bran muffins so you can grab one when you need a quick afternoon pickup!)
- some fruits (apples, peaches, citrus, mango, plums, kiwi, pears, berries)
- some vegetables (artichokes, celery root, sweet potatoes, parsnips, turnips, acorn squash, brussels sprouts, cabbage, green peas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, beets)
Tip 2: Eat Slow-Release Snack Foods
The following foods, even in large amounts and if eaten alone, are not likely to result in a big rise in blood sugar. (Remember, we don't want food to hit your blood stream quickly, otherwise you're just going to feel hungry again shortly after.)
These are based on the American Journal of Nutrition's international table of glycemic index and glycemic load values. (Glycemic load considers the glycemic index of a food and the grams of carbohydrate that a reasonable serving size of that particular food contains)
- meat
- poultry
- fish
- avocados
- salad vegetables
- cheese
- eggs
Tip 3: Go Nuts!
An ounce of nuts is a perfect healthy snack. An ounce of most nuts will add about 170 calories, 7 grams of carbs, 6 grams of protein, and 15 grams fat. (The higher amount of fat in nuts will take longer to digest and will help the snack seem more satisfying.)
- hazelnuts and almonds are lowest in saturated fat
- macadamia and hazelnuts are highest in monounsaturated fat (this is a very good thing)
- pistachios and macadamia nuts are highest in fiber (about 3 grams per ounce)
- walnuts have the most omega-3 fatty acids (also a very good thing).
Tip 4: Calling All Yogurt Fans
A container of light fruit yogurt (low fat and with artificial sweeteners) is a great snack at work or on the go. A 7-ounce container has about 13 grams of available carbohydrate and a glycemic index of 20, adding up to a glycemic load of only 2! Remember Tip #2 about the benefits of slow-release foods? Add some fresh fruit, ground flaxseed, or reduced-fat granola to yogurt to make a fun snack parfait!
Tip 5: Portable Fruit
Fruit can travel well in your car or briefcase and come in handy for a quick pick-me-up, many offering just enough carbohydrates with a nice dose of fiber. You can make a more balanced snack by enjoying your fruit with cottage cheese, yogurt, or some cereal and milk.
The following fruits have a low glycemic load (5 or less per serving):
- Cherries, glycemic load of 3 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Grapefruit, glycemic load of 3 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Kiwi fruit, glycemic load of 5 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Oranges, glycemic load of 5 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Peaches (fresh or canned in juice), glycemic load of 4 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Pears, glycemic load of 4 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Plums, glycemic load of 3 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Cantaloupe, glycemic load of 4 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
- Strawberries, glycemic load of 1 per (4 1/4 ounce) serving
