I like how the article didn't tell you to sacrifice anything, just opened your mind to the alternatives. Not everyone is going to be willing to sacrifice certain things and the author knows that. The perfect house is going to be expensive, and the article is about saving money on a home purchase. If you make enough money you won't need to sacrifice anything. Having major goals is the key for those that need to save, if you have kids then the number of rooms, the school district, and crime are major concerns, the kitchen and floors are minor concerns. Trust me you will need to replace them anyway. If you are retired then you don't need a big house you need one with security, low maintenance, and by a good hospital.
Mr Kennedy must either be a guy who tried unsuccessfully to become a good Realtor or just was not smart enough to select the "right" Realtor when he sold or bought a home. Being a former law enforcement officer with honesty and credibility at 1-2, I have worked hard to treat people the same as what I would like to be treated. There are in no doubt bad "apples" in every field, probably in the field Mr Kennedy works, although he probably would not admit it from the way he sounds.
Mr K, you just sound as you needed to put a little more "intelligence" and "thought" in you Realtor selection process rather than who may give you the best deal or a "kickback" when you made your purchase. Or maybe you are just too cheap for your wife's taste! I would guess, probably a little of both.
Joe Steuer, Realtor
I love it. Sacrifice location, schools, size and basically anything you want in a house...
Kind of what my husband and I did with our first (current) house. Fast forward 5 years later, despite a 20% downpayment, we're underwater, in a house too small for us and our ONE child and we're in a crappy school district. Oh and we've had to repair just about everything because we got a fixer upper.
Realtors spend the majority of their work time and energy convincing you to sign up with them or list your home by telling you they can save you, or get you, SO MUCH MORE MONEY. Then they simply stop working for you. They knowingly lie about things like the square footage of a property and then play dumb about it when confronted with the truth, among other things. They have their disclaimer in the fine print that says that they are not responsible for misrepresentations. You did read that didn't you? And that's doing enough for their 3 percent; they are not going to do anything else. Huff huff. I had a realtor brag to me one time that 'I bought that Lincoln out there with the commission from the sale of just one house'. Well, you were overpaid for your time, 'cause you're not worth it and you didn't deserve it.
Lazy, spoiled, and egotistical, no?
It is apparent that the above internet story was written for realtors (so it's a lie, too) and it's really about what realtors are so busy sitting around whining and complaining about, not the desires of first time home buyers. Yes, they all want a garage. So what? Maybe the realtors need to park your Lincolns outside 24/7, because you've got so much stuff in your 3 car garage you can't put anything more in there. It's the salesperson who wants granite countertops: her husband is the guy who installs it, so he gets a cut, too.
You realtors need to figure out how and why you should change your attitudes, change a light bulb or two every now and then. Get out there and clean up in the front yard. Be sure to pick up all of those cigarette butts, too, before you're through.
Wow, the article is sooo smart and well written, too! Just Kidding!!
Seriously, here in America, during this economical down-turn, 2 attorneys (who couldn't afford what they wanted, anyway) are supposedly going to BUY a home in a less than wise school district because they are smart enough to forecast for themselves that they will sell and move to a better one when the kids are school age- please! What a dinosaur of an article. Yeah, that's the dumb downing us American's should subscribe to- as always!
First of all extra bathrooms are necessary and not just for company - even if it is just a half bath! When someone in the family gets sick or all of you are sick, an extra bathroom is definitely not a luxury. Or try and wait for a plumber for days and just where and what are you supposed to do?Garages are another thing that are important. Today they are especially necessary because weather will damage a car - be it extreme heat or cold and don't forget about the security aspects of being able to lock up the car each night or the insurance factor. The instrumentation in cars today is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Also note that insurance companies want a car to be in a garage at night. Another dumb realtor thought that should be ignored.
As for location. I have purchased and sold real estate since I was 20 years old and can now say decades later that if you believe that location isn't important you are beyond stupid to believe that line. It will always be location, location, location. Another part of the location factor is school district. Many people move to a LOCATION because of the school district! I have witnessed beautiful homes go unsold for YEARS because they were in a questionable or changing school district.
The comment about amenities in a condo may or may not be correct. You have to do the research on the actual cost of the fitness club (for example) in your area and factor in the cost to travel as well. Maybe you can join close to your employment and use it there. This is something that is personal and different based on individual needs which will alter the costs.
Personally, knowing what I know now. I would rent the cheapest apartment or condo in the best location for as long as possible until I could pay cash for my first property unless I purchased a property with a rental in it. When you are young it is about work, work, work and you generally entertain away from home. Even if you entertain at home - most people do not expect much if you explain that you are saving for the right place.
Realtors only care about their commissions and do not tell the truth about buying and selling properties. You can only create wealth and improve your lot in life by limiting your financial exposure to a bank or mortgage company. If kids are entering their adult life with student loans coupled with a mortgage, they do not stand a chance of "owning" their home. Instead the bank will own them for their entire life. I was mortgage free on two properties by the age of 32! Think smart and work hard and be your own bank.
Bottomline: The last person to trust or listen to is the realtor! Follow the money.

KRISTIN CHENOWETH impersonated HONEY BOO BOO when she hosted at the American Country Awards on Monday night.
Check her out:
When Kristin Chenoweth hosted the American Country Awards early this week with Trace Adkins, she decided to come on stage as the infamous 7-year-old reality star and self-confessed young pageant queen, Honey Boo Boo, whom Jennifer Lawrence has admitted to being a fan of and Adam Levine has previously labeled the "decay of western civilization"
The pint-sized singer-actress, who is only 4 feet 11 inches and also made an entrance by riding on a sling worn by Adkins, dressed up in Honey Boo Boo's famous embellished pink gown, big curly hair and her favorite "Go Go Juice."
It's bound to trigger some mixed emotions.
Check out Kristin's hilarious impersonation below:

WAVE 3 News Contributor
A few hours before the 140th Kentucky Derby, I interviewed jockey Victor Espinoza for WAVE 3 News in Louisville. He had just won the third race at Churchill Downs aboard Masochistic, but I didn't want to talk about that. I wanted to ask him about California Chrome, the favorite he would ride in the Derby.
Although the colt had won his last four races by more than 23 lengths combined, and although he had romped over his field in the Santa Anita Derby, he had hardly convinced all the media wise guys who cover horse racing in New York, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas and even California.
A lot of them said he wouldn't hit the board. They questioned his pedigree, his toughness, and his competition. His dam once sold for $8,000. How could she produce a Kentucky Derby winner? Everybody loved his trainer, 77-year-old Art Sherman, but he didn't ship California Chrome to Louisville until the Tuesday before the Derby and didn't even work him over the track. Wasn't that a clue that he was in over his head?
All this bothered Espinoza not a bit. He didn't flinch when I asked him if he expected California Chrome to produce a performance so impressive that Derby lovers will be talking about it for years to come.
"This is California Chrome's day," he told me. "This is his biggest race and he will show what kind of horse he is."
The weather was about as good as it gets on the first Saturday in May in Louisville, Ky. When post time for the Derby finally rolled around at 6:32 p.m., a few minutes late, the second largest crowd in the race's history had resoundingly rejected the critics by making California Chrome the 2-to-1 favorite in the field of 19, making him one of the shortest-priced favorites in recent years.
When the starting gate finally broke open and the field barreled down the stretch for the first time, California Chrome was perfectly placed just behind the leaders. And then, as the race unfolded, all the pretenders began falling by the wayside until, at the top of the stretch, this copper-colored colt surged to the lead and made the Derby his.
It has been so long since racing has had a Triple Crown winner – Affirmed in 1978 was the last – that today's racing fans are desperate for a superhorse to call their own. Every year, they hope to see the new Citation, Secretariat, or Seattle Slew. And every year for the last couple of decades – certainly for this century – they have been disappointed.
Until Derby 140. As the horses pounded down the stretch, greatness returned to the Derby after a long absence. In what was regarded by everyone except Chrome's fans as a wide-open, impossible-to-handicap Derby, the big colt completed a thoroughly professional trip by drawing off to a victory that left the doubters choking on their Daily Racing Forms. The time for the mile and a quarter was a modest 2:03 and change, but so what? The brilliance of the performance was what mattered.
At the end, the only colt running at the leader was Commanding Curve, who gave trainer Dallas Stewart his second consecutive Derby runner-up finish with a colt that was doubtful to make the field until a week before the race (last year's runner-up was Golden Soul).
The third-place horse, Danza, named for the actor, did not run back to his romp in the Arkansas Derby, but ran credibly for Pletcher and jockey Joe Bravo. But everybody else was Out Shelby, an old Louisville phrase for somebody who's a hopeless loser.
None of the most-discussed scenarios materialized. Calvin Borel did not come up the rail with Ride On Curlin. Rosie Napravnik did not threaten to become the first female jockey to win the Derby. Medal Count did not look like the best horse that Dale Romans has ever trained. Intense Holiday, General a Rod, and Harry's Holiday were not good enough to make their owners the first Louisvillians to win the Derby since 1914.
Wicked Strong, named in honor of the Boston Marathon survivors, and Uncle Sigh, whose owner donates part of his earnings to the Wounded Warriors Fund, did not provide feel-good stories for bleeding hearts. And Wildcat Red did not reward the UK and U of L fans who bet his name because they mistakenly assumed his name had something to do with local basketball. (Memo to these folks: There are part of the world, believe it or not, where nobody cares about the Cats and the Cards.)
Nope, this Derby was strictly a one-horse show. The best horse not only won, he dominated, and it is not premature to begin thinking about the possibility of a Triple Crown. He looked like a horse who had something left in the tank for the Preakness two weeks hence.
For the trainer, it was the moment he had been awaiting throughout his 60-year career on the fringes on big-time racing. At 18, he came to the Derby on a railroad career with Swaps, for whom he was the exercise boy. Swaps, of course, won the Derby over the ballyhooed Nashua and went on to become one of the sport's all-time greats.
All week, Sherman kept saying, "I hope California Chrome is my Swaps." He was, indeed, and the victory made Sherman the oldest trainer ever to win the roses. Other sports may produce these kind of sweet stories, but thoroughbred racing produces more of them than any other endeavor.
It was a great day to be a septegenarian at Churchill Downs. Trust me on that. I didn't cash a lot of tickets, but I got something better than mere cash. I got to see greatness return to the Derby, and it was a lovely thing to behold.

Octuplets' Mom Inks Reality TV, Book Deals
Suleman's attorney Jeff Czech calls the series a "quasi-reality" show, explaining that instead of having a dozen cameramen tromping around her house 24 hours a day, film crews will only document select milestones, such as birthdays and other special events.
"Nadya knows she has to do something," says Czech. "But she doesn't want the constant filming because she feels that would be taking advantage of her kids. She's trying to find the middle ground and feels this approach will work best."
At this time, Eyeworks has yet to sell Suleman's proposed shows to any TV networks in the U.S., and is currently planning on airing her programs on British TV, then bringing the shows to America. Czech also insists that his client doesn't want her series to resemble Jon and Kate Gosselin's show.
"She's been watching them a bit lately and thinks it's boring," says Czech.
This week Suleman also finalized a deal with ghostwriter Wendy Lee - who recently wrote Life with My Sister Madonna with Christopher Ciccone - to pen her autobiography.
"Of all her projects, this is the one she's most excited about," says Czech. "She's really looking forward to telling her story and speaking out about how she was raised, how her children are feeling, what they are asking about and things about the donor dad."

She doesn't want to take advantage of her kids? Hasn't she already done that!!! She's been out of the media for awhile, so she had to find a way back in!!! Sick, sick, sick, she seriously needs some help!!!!!!
I was just telling hubby the other day that despite all the money Octomom will probably make, the children will suffer greatly. People are cruel and have an excellent memory. So, when these children get to their teen years, they will be picked on by other children so bad, and despise their mother. I wish she could look a few miles down the road before she does this. The worse thing is that she thinks this is funny. She always has that sly silly smile on her face. Pure stupidity.

Content delivery is becoming more important, Hilwa said, as the center of gravity of information technology continues to move from the enterprise to consumers, and computing tools move toward being primarily used for content consumption.
Of course, business users still need devices that are optimized for business use -- running standard productivity programs like Microsoft Office, as well as efficient services for email, database management, contact management, accounting, etc.
Enterprise Mobility
A second trend Hilwa notes is that enterprise mobility has been "taking off" as mobile apps have noticeably entered the enterprise. Companies have begun to let "tablets inside the firewall, often purchased and not necessarily BYOD," he said, and, they have "started to invest seriously in application development."
He's referring to the fact that many businesses now have their workers using tablets with customized programs. For example, consider how sales reps in Apple stores now use their handheld iPad tablets as point-of-sale devices.
Hilwa also points to the growing economy of development tools vendors who want to satisfy the "write-once, run almost everywhere" goals that are increasingly present in businesses.
Mainstreaming of the Cloud
His third big trend brings us back to cloud computing and the "realization that enterprises will move to the cloud once much of the impedance mismatch between what happens inside and outside the firewall is reduced." In other words, business users want to be able to work as efficiently from home or on the road (outside the network firewall), as they can at the office (behind the firewall).
This trend toward cloud computing and complete remote access is exemplified, Hilwa noted, by Platform-as-a-Service vendors providing a "more diverse set of programming languages than just Ruby," as well as virtual machines, private cloud platforms, and hybrid arrangements.
Hilwa concludes that all of this points to "the mainstreaming of the cloud," where the cloud is meeting the requirements of the enterprise and not vice versa.
Top Tech Trends for You
Which tech trends influenced your life and your work in 2012? Did you add a tablet to your arsenal of tech gadgets to bridge the gap between your PC and your smartphone, or maybe just for fun? Were you able to start working from home thanks to cloud computing? Or did life get easier because of BYOD -- now being able to bring your devices to work to continue working on a project you started at home?

Great product
Par Maureen
de Thunder Bay, Ontario
I found these cubes ( one in black toile and one in red) to be very handy in storing a few items and replacing with other items. The design matches perfectly with my bedroom décor in the black and white toile and a few pillows and/or loose items not being used can be stored away very nicely. The red and white is in the living area with a few pillows not being used at this time and also for displaying a few items on the lid. it works well and would highly recommend this product to others.

Par Leslie
de Brampton, Ontario
These cubes look great and have great storage capacity. They are sturdy and comfortable to sit on. I will use them to put my granddaughter's toys and books in when company is coming. One of the best things about them is that they collapse and can be put away when not needed. I couldn't get them under my sofa but they easily stand behind my chair out of the way until I need them again. I liked the first one I ordered so much that I ordered another 2.

A New Playground
Title: A New Playground
Authors: Hypnotic Flower and The Red Guy
category: MC HYP FD
Bored with hernew-found wealth, Dr Stephanie Nelson decides to find a new playground whereshe can indulge her favourite pastime: hypnotically enslaving men
Please do not read if you are under 21 years old or offended by descriptions of sexual acts and/orerotic hypnosis. This story picks up from the events described in the'Corporate Domination' series but knowledge of those stories is not required.The story makes use of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale – which isfreely available on the web. The Red Guy would like to state that the citedtext is the work of the acknowledged authors but the use here is wholly theproduct of Hypnotic Flower's wonderfully erotic mind.
Dr StephanieNelson was rich but bored. Her hypnotherapy practice had been successfullygenerating income for several years and her recent venture into motivationaltapes had outstripped even the most optimistic forecasts. This success was dueto two main factors. First, the tapes included a series of subliminal messagesthat kept customers coming back for more. Second, she had hypnotized andenslaved the head of the world's most profitable (and extensive) televisionmarketing company. Not surprisingly, the money was rolling in but Stephanie hadsoon discovered that material wealth was not the driving force in her life. Shehad always known (or at least hoped) that there was more to her than a smart,ambitious woman. Wealth was not to be dismissed (it was nice to have a freechoice of homes, cars and holidays) but it was not enough.
She sighed andstared out across her panoramic view of downtown LA. Her room, located at thepinnacle of a suite of offices in one of the city's most expensive skyscrapers,offered a breathtaking view. 'Somewhere out there', she thought, 'there is thechallenge and the excitement I need'.
Suddenly the soundof a buzzer stirred her from her thoughts. She lent across her desk and presseda small button on her intercom, 'Yes, Diane?'
'Stephen is herefor your ten o'clock'.
'Thanks send himin'.
Several months agoStephanie had seduced Stephen as part of a plot hatched by his unscrupulousbusiness partner. Stephen was now Stephanie's trusted advisor and his one timepartner was happier than he'd ever been acting as a trouble-shooter in herlegal department. His innate lack of morals made him the perfect person to spotuntrustworthy business approaches (and Stephanie's hypnotic domination ensuredhis loyalty).
Stephen enteredthe room and naturally waited for Stephanie to signal where she would like himto sit. With a graceful motion of her hand she indicated the large leathersofa. He sat down and began to look through a sheaf of papers that needed herattention.
Stephanie openedthe door and instructed her secretary to hold her calls. Locking the doorbehind her she moved quickly to the sofa and gently placed a hand on Stephen'sforehead:
'Deep sleep,Stephen, deep asleep now'.
Instantly the execslumped backwards, like a puppet whose strings had been cut without warning.
'That's right mydarling', the hypnotist cooed. 'Fall deep, deep asleep for me. Deeper… anddeeper… and deeper.'
She smiled as shewatched the exec droop still lower on the sofa, noticing with satisfaction thathis erection now stood proudly (temporarily ruining the cut of his expensivesuit). Stephanie did not often use hypnosis at work. Although every one of heremployees was under her spell, she preferred to run the business as a completelylegitimate enterprise. It was essential to know that she could rely on herpeople one hundred percent, but mostly she reserved hypnosis for specialoccasions when she needed something out of the ordinary or when an employeedeserved a special treat. At this moment she wanted something and the simplestapproach was to address her adviser with total clarity.
Over the next hourshe briefed Stephen on her problem. She wanted to branch out into new areas.Naturally there must be scope for additional income generation but moreimportantly she wanted a new challenge and some mental stimulation. The worldof business was proving dull after years of meeting extraordinarily complex andvaried people through her hypnotherapy practice. In particular, she missed thechallenge of hypnotizing people face-to-face and subtly taking completecontrol. She had an eclectic taste in art, politics and science and felt readyfor something new. The only problem was that she didn't know what, or where,the solution lay.
Stephen confirmedthat he understood the problem and promised to return with some ideas as soonas possible. Stephanie smiled.
One Week Later
'Professor Eastmanwill see you now', the secretary smiled and opened the door for Stephanie.
As Stephanieentered the room she was pleased to see the man rise from his seat to greether: Stephanie always appreciated good manners, and she had found that politemen were the easiest to enslave.
'Dr Nelson, howkind of you to come in person', the man announced as he moved to shake handswith the hypnotherapist.
'Not at allProfessor Eastman. I'm sure the President of a major university like this onehas much more important things to concern him than meeting me.' Stephaniesmiled and allowed her touch to linger on the Professor's hand for just amicrosecond longer than he expected.
'Well,' theProfessor indicated a couple of plush arm chairs as he spoke, 'it's noteveryday that a university – even one as famous as this – gets such a generoussponsorship offer'.
Stephanie smiledand straightened her skirt as she sat, showing just enough leg to raise thetemperature a little. 'I'm delighted to be able to help, but I do want todiscuss a few things with you first.'
Professor Eastmanlooked puzzled. His financial people had assured him that the deal was settled,Dr Nelson was looking for some 'scientific' respectability to go with thefortune she was amassing through instructional self-hypnosis tapes. 'I, er, Ith- thought things were already agreed?' he stammered.
'Well, almost',Stephanie lent forward a little, 'but I want to be certain that you understandmy mission and will help in any way that you – and your university – can. Doyou have time for me to explain now? It will only take a short while?' Shelooked at the phone on the Professor's desk.
'Of course, ofcourse', he said, reaching for the phone and telling his secretary to hold allcalls until further notice.
'Oh that'swonderful', Stephanie enthused. 'You're so kind'.
'Not at all', theProfessor laughed, 'anything to be of service'.
'What aninteresting choice of words', Stephanie smiled and moved over to sit on the armof the Professor's chair. He was startled by her forwardness but found it apleasant change from the stuffiness of university business. 'Do you mind if Isit here?' Stephanie asked, making herself comfortable (and showing even moreof her shapely legs), 'It's just that I can explain my mission so much moreclearly if I show you something.'
'No, not at all',he lied and loosened his collar. He wasn't used to be so close to attractivewomen. Now here he was seated in an armchair with a gorgeous millionheiressseated over him. He tried to avoid looking at her legs but then found his eyeswandering over her breasts, which were on the same level as his eyes. He took adeep breath, looked up at Stephanie and smiled as he loosened his collar evenmore.
'That's it',Stephanie observed, 'you make yourself comfortable while I explain theproblem.'
'Problem?' Suddenlythe Professor was worried. He'd been told that this woman wanted to gift agreat deal of money to the university with no strings, but now she was talkingof a problem. He shifted in his seat.
'Oh it's not aserious problem, and I'm sure you can help me'. Stephanie's deep blue eyes madedirect contact with the Professor's. 'I… er..' he tried to clear his thoughtsbut she continued.
'You see I've madea fortune – quite a big fortune – out of hypnosis. And I'd like to givesomething back to the field by sponsoring a whole new centre and researchprogram – here, at your university'.
'That's great',the man announced and once again relaxed.
'Yes it is, but Iwant you to really understand the work and promise to give me your support'.
'Well', heoffered, 'I'll do whatever I can to help, of course'.
'That's so kind',Stephanie smiled and lent a little closer, 'Because most hypnosis research inuniversities is very boring and stuffy.'
'Really?' theprofessor tried to feign surprise. To his eyes almost everything inuniversities was boring. He'd once been excited by the promise of newdiscoveries himself, but 20 years as a glorified bureaucrat had erased allenthusiasm.
'Look at this',Stephanie reached into her briefcase and produced a thick sheaf of printedpapers. She lent down a little and held them out for the professor to read thetop sheet. He glanced at her cleavage and the just-visible edge of her whitesilky bra before locking his eyes on the title page:
Andre M. Weitzenhoffer &Ernest R. Hilgard
Stanford University
Modified by John F. Kihlstrom
'Stanford', the Professor repeated.
'Yes, one of yourmain competitors I believe', observed Stephanie. 'You see this has been astandard of academic hypnosis studies for more than 30 years now. But I thinkit needs livening up – bringing into the Twenty-first Century'.
The professor raised a curious eyebrow.
'Let me show you',Stephanie flicked forward a few pages, 'Look, here's where the document reallygets going. At this point, the hypnotist is trying to build rapport with thepatient'. She moved her finger to the top of the text and began reading aloud,moving her finger beneath the text as she went:
Do you see the black pin up on the wall over there?
Stephanielooked at the professor and broke off to explain, 'You see they place a pin inthe wall and have the patient stare at that spot. Then they go through thiscomplicated explanation'. She looked back at the page and resumed her reading.Automatically Eastman turned his attention back to the page and the movingfingertip, tracing the words before his eyes:
I am going to refer to that pinas the "target". What I would like you to do is to relax in thechair, look steadily at the target, and listen to my voice. Meanwhile, I'llgive you some instructions that will help you to relax and focus your attentioneven more, and
gradually enter a state ofhypnosis.
'Well', Stephanieannounced, 'calling something a target is so clinical. It's cold, don't youthink?'
The professorlooked up at her. 'Yes, I suppose it is'.
'Of course it is',Stephanie's voice took on a friendly tone, as if she was not only agreeing withhim but also congratulating him on his perception. She looked back at the pageand began reading again, all the while tracing her words with her brightlypainted red nail:
"Please look steadily at the target and while staring at it keep listening tomy words. You can become hypnotized if you are willing to do what I ask you to,and if you concentrate on the target and on what I say. You have already shownyour willingness by coming here today, and so I am assuming that your presencehere means that you want to experience all that you can. You can be hypnotizedonly if you want to be. There would be no point in participating if youwere resisting being hypnotized."
'You see this is pointless, I think', she observed the man slowly move his gaze from herfinger to her face. 'All this talk about being willing to be hypnotized… Ifyou're sitting there listening to her talking and doing as she says, well ofcourse you're not resisting. Are you?'
The professor shook his head. He wasn't really sure what point Stephaniewas making but with a sponsorship deal on the line he felt it was best toagree. He didn't realise that her previous sentences had subtly suggested thatthe hypnotist would be female, let alone that he had already been cast in therole of willing patient:
"Just do your best to concentrate on the target, to pay close attention to my words,and let happen whatever you feel is going to take place."
Stephanie continued to look at the page and trace the words with her finger, but shebegan to slow her pace and lower her voice a little. The changes were verygradual but she knew their effect would be potent.
"Just let yourself go. Pay close attention to what I ask you to think about; if your mindwanders bring your thoughts back to the target and my words, and you can easilyexperience more of what it is like to be hypnotized."
Stephanie was pleased to see the mansinking a little lower in his chair, his eyes constantly fixed on her finger asit traced the words and acted as his moving 'target'.
"You know already that hypnosis is perfectly normal and natural, and followsfrom the conditions of attention and suggestion we are using together. It is chiefly amatter of focusing sharply on some particular thing. Sometimes you experiencesomething very much like hypnosis when driving along a straight highway and youare oblivious to the landmarks along the road. The relaxation in hypnosis is verymuch like the first stages of falling asleep, but you will not really be asleep in theordinary sense because you will continue to hear my voice and be able to directyour thoughts to the topics I suggest. Hypnosis is a little like sleepwalking,because the person is not quite awake, but can still do many of the things thatpeople do when they are awake. What I want from you is merely your willingness togo along and to let happen whatever is about to happen. Most people find hypnosisto be an interesting experience."
'Now this is much more like it', she smiled at the man, 'this is emphasizing how pleasurablehypnosis can be.' The man raised his eyebrows, he'd never thought of hypnosis aspleasurable and, to be honest, he hadn't been paying close attention to whatshe was saying. Until Dr Nelson's advisor made contact a few days ago he didn'teven realise that the university did any work on the subject at all.
'Oh yes,' Stephanie affirmed, 'Hypnosis can be very pleasurable. It is awonderful, sleepy, sexy kind of feeling…'
Her finger retraced the last few lines:
"What I want from you is merelyyour willingness to go along and to let happen whatever is about to happen.Most people find hypnosis to be an interesting experience."
Eastman focusedback on the words. This was not a usual meeting and he wasn't sure what he wassupposed to be doing. His room was hot in the mid-afternoon sunshine and thecloseness of this beautiful woman had raised the temperature still further. Nowshe was droning on about this Stanford thing… she seemed to want to read thewhole thing to me. She seemed to take it all very seriously – even pointing outeach individual word – but he was finding it hard to concentrate. He remindedhimself of the sponsorship deal that he was clinching and decided to playalong. If she wanted to show him this document that was fine. He'd pretend toread along – just following her fingernail – and maybe he could sneak anotherpeak at her breasts.
'But at this point it gets really confusing', Stephanie announced, drawing the man's attentionfrom the script and back to her face.
He stared at her,not understanding the question.
She looked back at the page and indicatedthe next section of printed instructions:
Special Instructions Concerning Eye Closure
- If eyes remain open, go to Instruction 0(2).
- If eyes close, go to Instruction 0'(2') and continue through 0'(7').
As soon as eyes close, terminate sentence appropriately, then say:
"You are comfortably relaxed, but you aregoing to relax much more, much more. Your eyes are now closed. Just keep youreyes closed until I ask you to open them or to wake up."
'You see', she explained, 'what happensnow depends on you. If your eyes were closed I'm supposed to read out thissection, "You are comfortably relaxed." But your eyes are open, so I'm supposedto move ahead to a different section.'
She flipped forward to the relevantsection and read out loud, a little more slowly… and seductively:
"Now take it easy and just let yourself relax. Keep looking at the target assteadily as you can, thinking only of it and my words. If your eyes drift away, don'tlet that bother you.... Just focus again on the target. Pay attention to how thetarget changes, how the shadows play around it, how it is sometimes fuzzy,sometimes clear. Whatever you see is all right. Just give way to whatever comesinto your mind, but keep staring at the target a little longer. After a while, however,you will have stared long enough, and your eyes will feel very tired, and you willwish strongly that they were closed. Then they will close, as if by themselves.When this happens, just let it happen."
Stephanie took a long deep breath.Eastman followed suit, his eyes fixed on Stephanie's finger as it retraced thelast sentences again, even more slowly this time:
"Just give way to whatever comes into yourmind, but keep staring at the target a little longer. After a while, however,you will have stared long enough, and your eyes will feel very tired, and youwill wish strongly that they were closed. Then they will close, as if bythemselves. When this happens, just let it happen."
Stephanie let out a little yawn and moved down to the next set of instructions:
- If eyes remain open, go to Instruction 0(3).
- If eyes close, go to Instruction 0'(2') and continue through 0'(7').
As soon as eyes close, terminate sentence appropriately, then say:"You are comfortably relaxed, but you are going to relax much more, much more."
'Ooooppps, silly me. I got lost there. Iwas supposed to move ahead again. If your eyes were closed I'd tell you thatyou are comfortably relaxed…. Very deeply relaxed…', she smiled at the man, whosmiled back at her vacantly. 'But your eyes are still open… so I'm supposed togo down…. Down to the next level… '
As she said the word 'down' her finger drew Eastman's eyes back down toward the next sheet ofpaper:
"Now take it easy and just let yourself relax. Don't be tense. Just listencarefully to my voice. If your thoughts wander away from it, that is all right, but justbring your attention back to it. Sometimes my voice may seem to change a little, orsound as if it were coming from far off. That is all right. If you begin to get sleepier,that will be fine, too. Whatever happens, accept it, and just keep listening to myvoice as you become more and more relaxed. More and more relaxed. Just listenand relax. Whatever you feel is happening, just let it happen."
Eastman's head wastitled forward slightly, almost resting his chin on his chest and forcing himto look upwards in order to keep the words in sight. Every word he heard, everymovement of Stephanie's fingertip, put more and more pressure on his rapidlyexhausted eyesight.
"Relax more and more. As you think of relaxing, your muscles will relax.Starting with your right foot, relax themuscles of your right leg.... Now the musclesof your left leg.... Just relax all over.Relax your right hand, your forearm, upperarm, and shoulder.... That's it.... Nowyour left hand.... And forearm and upperarm.... And shoulder. Relax your neck, andchest.... More and more relaxed....Completely relaxed."
Stephanie wasn't sure whether Eastman wasactually following along with the progressive muscle relaxation but he showedno signs of looking away from her mesmerizing finger as her silken voicewrapped its magical blanket around him:
"As you become relaxed your body will feelsort of heavy or perhapsnumb. You will begin to have this feelingof numbness or heaviness in your legsand feet.... In your hands and arms....Throughout your body.... As though youwere settling deep into the chair. Thechair is strong; it will hold your heavy body asit feels heavier and heavier. Your eyelidsfeel heavy, too, heavy and tired. You arebeginning to feel drowsy and sleepy. Youare breathing freely and deeply, freelyand deeply. You are getting more and moresleepy and drowsy. Your eyelids arebecoming heavier, more and more tired andheavy."
Eastman's eyes automatically followedStephanie's finger as she moved slowly down the script – occasionally drawinghis eyes back up to repeat a line, then dropping them down again to the nextsection:
"heavier and heavier. Your eyelids feel heavy ….., too, heavy and tired. You arebeginning to feel drowsy and sleepy."
'Sleepy…..Drowsy….' Stephanie glanced at the professor and was pleased to see his eyelidsdrooping as he struggled against their weight. He was unaware of anythingexcept her words. His eyes simply followed her fingertip, reading the words atthe same time that her silky voice floated softly into his subconscious mind,all the while lulling his conscious mind into a deepening trance.
"You are breathing freely and deeply,freely and deeply. You are getting more and more sleepy and drowsy. Youreyelids are becoming heavier, more and more tired and heavy."
Stephanie flicked forward another couple of pages:
"Staring at the target so long has madeyour eyes very tired. Your eyesmay hurt a little and your eyelids feelvery heavy. Soon you will no longer be able tokeep your eyes open. You will have stoodthe discomfort long enough; your eyesare tired from staring, and your eyelidswill feel too tired to remain open. Your eyesare becoming moist from the strain. Youare becoming more and more drowsy andsleepy."
'More and more drowsy…. More and more sleepy.' Stephanie added to the printed text andknew that every word was taking Eastman deeper under her spell.
"The strain in your eyes is getting greaterand greater. It would be a reliefjust to let your eyes close and to relaxcompletely, to relax completely. You willsoon have strained enough; the strain willbe so great that you will welcome youreyes closing of themselves, of themselves."
Stephanie's voice grew even more seductive as another page turned:
"You are relaxed, very relaxed. By lettingyourself go you can become even more relaxed. You can reach a state of deeper,more complete relaxation. You are becoming increasingly drowsy and sleepy."
'Drowsy…….And sleepy.'
"There is a pleasant feeling of numbness and heaviness throughout your body. You begin to feel so relaxed, sosleepy. It is easier to bring back your thoughts from other things and toattend only to my voice. Soon you will just listen sleepily to my voice, as youbecome more and more deeply relaxed."
'Yes… that'sright, just listen sleepily to my voice… and grow more and more deeply relaxed.Deeply relaxed.'
"Your eyes are tired and your eyelids feelvery heavy. Your whole bodyfeels heavy and relaxed. You feel apleasant warm tingling throughout your body asyou get more and more tired and sleepy.Sleepy. Drowsy. Drowsy and sleepy.Keep your thoughts on what I am saying;listen to my voice. Your eyes are gettingblurred from straining. You can hardly seethe target, your eyes are so strained.The strain is getting greater, greater andgreater, greater and greater."
Eastman's head jerked a little, almost as if he was wakingfrom a day-dream, but his eyes remained fixed on Stephanie's bright red nail asit descended to the next paragraph:
"Your eyelids are heavy. Very heavy.Getting heavier and heavier, heavierand heavier. They are pushing down, down,down. Your eyelids seem weightedand heavy, pulled down by the weight....So heavy.... Your eyes are blinking,blinking.... Closing, closing"
As Eastman's eyesfinally closed Stephanie felt that familiar, deep rush of pleasure that alwaysaccompanied a successful enslavement. She loved hypnotizing people, butthe biggest thrill was to take them covertly or against their will. And now sheknew that she had the President of the university at her command. She thoughtabout all the possibilities that the university offered: all those scientists,the facilities, the students. She wasn't sure precisely what she would do witha university at her disposal, but she knew it would be magnificent. Firstthough, she needed to complete Eastman's training. Having used the Stanfordscript to seduce him, she decided that its deepening sequence would alsosuffice for her purposes. It would be all the more powerful because it retainedthe pretence of the innocent hypnotic induction happening by accident as sheread to Eastman. However, now that he wasn't following along word-by-word, shewas free to depart from the set script as she wished.
"You now feel very relaxed, butyou are going to become even more relaxed It is easier to relax now that your eyes are closed. Please keep themclosed until I ask you to open them or until I ask you to wake up....You feelpleasantly drowsy and sleepy asyou continue to listen to my voice. Just keep yourthoughts on what I am saying. You are going to get much more drowsy and sleepy.Soon you will be deep asleep but you will have no trouble hearing me. You will notwake up until I ask you to...."
Stephanie foundthe relevant part of the script and settled in the second armchair. Eastman wasslumped with his head forward, his chest rising and falling with every deep,long breath. He was already in a deep trance but the hypnotist knew that shecould take him even deeper. She looked at the relevant page and began:
'Soon I shall begin to count from 1 to 20. As I count you will feelyourself going down, farther and farther, deeper and deeper into a deep restfulsleep.
Yes, a deep restful sleep just for me. But you will still be able to dothe sorts of things I ask you to do without waking up.... One... You aregoing to go more deeply asleep.... Two... Down, down into a deep, soundsleep.... Three, Four... More and more asleep.... Five, Six, Seven...You are sinking into a deep, deep sleep. Nothing will disturbyou.... You hear only my voice. You are sleeping deeply, listening only to me,and waiting for your next command.
It's so easy to do as I say. It feels wonderful to do as I suggest. Nowgo deeper with Eight, Nine, deeper and deeper asleep for me.Ten... Halfway there.... Always deeper asleep....Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen Fourteen, Fifteen... Although deep asleepyou can hear me clearly. You will always hear me distinctly no matter how deeplyasleep you are.
Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen... Deep asleep, fast asleep.
Nothing will disturb you. You are going to experience many things I will ask you toexperience.... Nineteen, Twenty... Deep asleep. Deep sleep.Sleeping deeply in hypnosis for me, and only for me.'
Stephanie smiled at the enchanted exec. His university was about to become so much moreexciting.

Partners and sponsors
The Partners of the MMK
With the partnership model the MMK, its partners and the City of Frankfurt operate a lasting and innovative form of art sponsorship. In one point in particular the partnership model is extraordinary since it guarantees as a public private partnership the long-term certainty so crucial for planning tasks related to the Museum, such as expanding its internationally renowned Collection. In recent years, the MMK partnership model has gained international acclaim and stands for responsible museum and collection policy. The partners support the most agreeable and fundamental task of a museum. They ensure its independence and guarantee the high quality of additions to the Collection. Finally, this model is also associated with an outstanding and enduring cultural engagement that extends far beyond the selective promotion of events and temporary exhibitions. The partnership relationship between the Museum and the company is characterized by lasting, future-oriented action.
The Model
The partnership model is aimed at companies that consider support for the arts and culture as a social responsibility. Over the space of three years each of these companies commits a sum of EUR 40,000 a year to the Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt/Main for its use. The City of Frankfurt also makes available the same amount to the MMK in the framework of a matching fund. The three year operation of the model with an extension option provides an ideal foundation for the MMK and its partners. It gives the MMK the confidence needed for planning such important tasks as expanding the Collection, and enables companies to be associated with one of the most internationally acclaimed contemporary art museums over a longer period of time. Moreover, those works of art acquired for the Collection during a company's membership period remain associated with that company's name beyond this membership. Consequently, those companies that were once partners secure for themselves a long-lasting connection with the MMK Collection. Participation in the Fund automatically qualifies firms for membership in the friends of the MMK, not to mention being named at a highly visible spot in the Museum and on the MMK website. We will be happy to inform you about other special services for partners.
How to become a Partner
You can participate in the partnership model at any time or determine the start of the three year period yourself. We will be happy to supply you with further information:

On September 12, Berta Caceres, Tomás Gomez, and Aureliano Molina, leaders of the indigenous Lenca organization Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) must appear in court. Their charges? Usurpation of land, coercion, and causing more than $3 million in damages to DESA, a hydroelectric dam company. Berta, the general coordinator of COPINH and an internationally recognized social movement leader, is also facing separate charges of illegally carrying arms "to the danger of the internal security of Honduras."

Multinational corporations are moving into Central America to exploit gold and other minerals, rivers, forests, and agricultural lands. One area of high interest in the corporate feeding frenzy is the indigenous Lenca region in the southwest of Honduras. The government has given outside businesses concessions to dam, drill, and cut, in violation of national law and international treaties. More corporations have simply moved in on their own

"We live on the Atlantic coast of Honduras. We are a mix of African descendants and indigenous peoples who came about more than 200 years ago in the island of San Vicente. Without our land, we cease to be a people. Our lands and identities are critical to our lives, our waters, our forests, our culture, our global commons, our territories. For us, the struggle for our territories and our commons and our natural resources is of primary importance to preserve ourselves as a people."

Creepy old men, rejoice! Kendall Jenner turned 18 years old over the weekend and we all know what that means: the reality star can now legally do porn. She can also vote, buy a gun, and enlist in the military, but clearly the majority of people just care about the porn thing.
And those dirty companies aren't wasting any time. From the moment the clock struck midnight on her 18th birthday, the offers have been rolling in for Kenny to do the deed on camera -- offers so high that it might be difficult for a teenager to turn down.
TMZ is reporting that at least six companies are willing to make Kendall a porn star. One of the highest offers was from BangYouLater.com (I can't even deal with that name right now), who is willing to pay her a whopping $1.8 million.
I'm scared for Kendall. It sucks because she is such a sweet, beautiful girl and it seems like she's worked really, really hard to keep that "good girl" image. Sure, she takes the occasional sexy photo on Instagram, but ultimately, she seems like a good kid.
Enter Kris Jenner.
Now, if these offers are really pouring in as quickly as sources claim -- and they're willing to pay millions -- I can't picture the momager saying no. And at the end of the day, mother knows best. Don't you remember when Kim was skeptical about posing in Playboy? It was mommy dearest who told her that it would be great for her career ... and it would be a ton of money. A ton of money, sure ... but great for her career? I don't think so.
Bottom line: a sex tape is the wrong move for Kendall. She's the Kardashian that little girls can still look up to; she needs to milk that for all it's worth. And my God, I can't even begin to imagine how angry Bruce Jenner would be if she actually went through with this.
Let's hope she makes the right choice. She is an adult now, after all.
Do you think Kendall will agree to do porn?
There is no way. First, he doesnt need the money. 2nd, she knows this woud ruin her reputation in the biz, kinda of like ho everyone thinks Kim is trashy. I think she has real potentital as a legit model. Shes got the looks body and height
i dont think she will, the family is set with money they dont need and shes more in to getting her name out theirs with brands of nail polish and clothing line shes a good kid i would hate for her to have to go down that road
I really hope she doesn't do it. It will ruin her.
Her mommy dearest has been pushing the young Jenner girls to pose for a long time now. What is wrong with this woman. She has pushed her chidren to use their bodies to make money. They aren't accept in any social situation. Just bars and restaurants. They are shunned by the rich and famous.
Let's get something straight, Kris doesn't push her daughters to pose nude. Her girls are MODELS and they aren't doing anything different than any other model in the industry. She's NEVER encouraged her girls to do porn. What show are you guys watching???? You just want to bash her and her parenting style so you can feel better about yourself. Look at her and look at Dinah Lohan. Kris is doing something right since NONE of her kids are on drugs and they're all successful with their own businesses. Did she encourage Kim to do Playboy? Yes. MANY celebrities do Playboy; that's why they have a celebrity edition. Many "classy" or reputable celebrities have done Playboy. Everyone seems to love and worship Marilyn Monroe, yet ya'll seem to forget that she was the very first Playboy model....but that's ok, right? Somehow that's different? OBVIOUSLY I DON'T THINK KENDALL SHOULD DO PORN. That's the worst thing she could do. But for you guys to insinuate that her mother would encourage it - you guys are idiots.

Cooking Light SEPTEMBER 2010
1. Combine first 5 ingredients; chill.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add fillets to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Serve fillets with sauce and lime wedges, if desired.
Wine note: This menu dances beautifully with the Weingut Knoll Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2007 ($30). The cool dollop of cucumber yogurt is spun dizzy by citrus notes ranging from tart lime to sweet tangerine, and a long finish of green peppercorn is a subtle counterpoint to the coconut-intensified rice. --Alexander Spacher

Divergent. By Veronica Roth. 10 CDs. 11:11 hrs. Harper Audio. 2013. ISBN 978-0-06-228643-7. $22.99.
Gr 9 Up–In the dystopian Chicago setting of Roth's novel (Katherine Tegen Bks., 2011), the population is divided into five factions. Upon declaring allegiance to one of them, 16-year-old Beatrice will decide her future. Beatrice and her brother, Caleb, grew up in helpful, unassuming Abnegation, always putting others first. During her aptitude testing, a simulation probes her suitability for Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Rather than getting a clear reading of her strengths, Beatrice's result is disturbing and dangerous: she is Divergent. At the choosing ceremony, the teenager impulsively joins Dauntless, the tattooed "hellions" whose value is bravery, and who protect the community. Beatrice, now called Tris, finds she feels brilliantly alive in Dauntless, even during the brutal training. She enjoys seeing her muscles harden, testing her courage, protecting the underdog, and working her way up the ranks of recruits. Making both friends and enemies, she moves through simulations tailored to trigger her Fear Landscape. Gradually, her Divergence shows itself, allowing Tris to see that the faction-dominated world isn't as wonderful as she has been told. The likeable characters, excellent pacing, and blooming romance will have listeners hooked. Emma Galvin's youthful voice has a twinge of huskiness that lends itself to voicing both young men and women. The audiobook will be very popular, so library patrons will have to be careful considering the packaging: a lightweight box and foldout sleeves. You might want to purchase the audio download instead.–Maggie Knapp, Trinity Valley School, Fort Worth, TX

Um. . . if we "revert" back to the original constitutional system the Bill of Rights would not apply to the people of the several states as the states have their own constitutions; the BoR is for FEDERAL CITIZENS. The ONLY reason why people yap about the Bill of Rights is due to the evil 14th Amendment's incorporation of them. AND here is the kicker. NOT all of the Bill of Rights are incorporated by the 14th. Such as the two most important amendments, the 9th and 10th.
I mean… no disrespect, but I think the majority of US citizens have a pre-school understanding of American constitutionalism. If we were to really start clean, we would do as Thomas Jefferson told us to do. Write and establish constitutions (There are 51 constitutions in our Union) for the several states and the United States. I say the United States does not need a constitution, we should dust off the Articles of Confederation and restore the sovereignty of the states.
"The constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States for themselves, for THEIR own government, and NOT for the government of the individual states. Each state established a constitution for itself, and, in that constitution, provided such limitations and restrictions on the powers of its particular government as its judgment dictated. The people of the United States framed such a government for the United States as they supposed best adapted to their situation and best calculated to promote their interests. The powers they conferred on this government were to be exercised by itself; and the limitations on power, if expressed in general terms, are naturally, and, we think, necessarily applicable to the government created by the instrument. They are limitations of power granted in the instrument itself; not of distinct governments, framed by different persons and for different purposes.
'Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the state governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the constitutions of the several states, by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments, in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language.'"–Chief Justice Marshall in Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833)

Report blasts scandal-hit care home
Aug 08 2012
A privately-run hospital caring for severely disabled people put its own profits before basic humanity, a scathing report has revealed.
Health regulators, police, social services and the NHS were are all heavily criticised in an independent report for failing to spot the warning signs about the treatment of patients at the Winterbourne View care home.
The serious case review was published the day after the final member of staff accused of abusing patients at the home in Hambrook, South Gloucestershire, pleaded guilty. A total of 11 former staff have admitted between them 38 charges of either neglect or ill treatment of people with severe learning difficulties.
The shocking catalogue of abuse at the hospital only came to light when whistleblower Terry Bryan, a senior nurse at the home, contacted BBC1's Panorama. Its undercover five-week investigation, broadcast in June last year, recorded secret footage of patients being abused by carers.
The video showed frail and confused residents being forcibly pinned down, slapped, soaked in water, trapped under chairs, taunted and having their hair pulled and eyes poked.
Dr Margaret Flynn, who wrote the 150-page serious case review, said her findings could be the "tip of the iceberg" and said that care at Winterbourne View had become "institutional abuse".
Her report detailed hundreds of incidents of restraint and dozens of assaults on patients and said that had it not been for Panorama the scandal may never have come to light. Dr Flynn said there were enough warning signs over the preceding three years for the authorities to have investigated further.

It Wrecked Eveything
it wrecked my reputaion, distroyed my chances of being friends with people, like this one time at a party i did a few naughty things with this guy then he told me it was a one nighter so there was no more talking, no being friends anything, i liked this guy for a while too, i really thought he was a good guy but yeah i could never be friends with him. and people call me a ****, its not like he ws a random i did have feelings for him so its not bad or anything right?
sorry, what really happened?
i know how you feel. The first guy who I trusted did this to me. I feel for you.
I'm sorry you're going through this. That guy sounds like a douche bag. I had the same problem for a while... I would sleep with just about anyone to get affection. I was a cheater (not proud of it.) I just always craved more and more affection. And the next thing I know, word got out and suddenly my best friends were calling me a ****. I actually had to move OUT OF THE STATE to get away from all of the bullshit. I'm glad I'm past that now... funny thing is... I hate sex now.
No, it's not bad, and you are young, and, if it bothers you, don't be so AVAILABLE if you know what i mean. Be more discriminating....You don't have to sleep with everyone. Accept yourself first, then others will follow. How did everyone know anyway? unless the guys you were with had big mouths. <br />
Start all over, as i suggested to you before, drop them all; they only cause you pain anyway, and and they sound all so shallow (from your other story too). Oh, and i don't have to tell you to never let your guard down and ALWAYS use protection? Your motto for life should be TRUST NO ONE. (re: ALWAYS use protection)
