Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Starbucks Corporation as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, good cash flow from operations and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 0.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 12.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- SBUX's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.21 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.46, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry and the overall market, STARBUCKS CORP's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
- STARBUCKS CORP has improved earnings per share by 37.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, STARBUCKS CORP increased its bottom line by earning $2.26 versus $1.79 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.65 versus $2.26).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry average. The net income increased by 34.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $359.00 million to $481.10 million.

Yahoo, Facebook in ad alliance, end patent dispute

The two companies have agreed to settle a patent dispute on Friday, July 6, 2012, averting a potentially bitter battle over the technology running two of the Internet's most popular destinations. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook and Yahoo have agreed to settle a patent dispute, averting a potentially lengthy battle over the technology running two of the Internet's most popular destinations.
In dropping the lawsuits, the companies agreed Friday to license their patents to each other. They are also agreeing to an advertising alliance that expands their existing partnership.
The advertising alliance could help Yahoo recover some of the revenue that it has been losing as marketers shift more of their spending to a larger and more engaged audience on Facebook's online social network.
Friday's settlement involves no exchange of money and comes after a months-long patent squabble between the two Internet icons.
The truce ends a conflict provoked by Yahoo's short-lived CEO, Scott Thompson, who was dumped from the job two months ago after misinformation on his official biography raised questions about his integrity.
Under Thompson, Yahoo filed the patent lawsuit in March, wielding it as a weapon against a company that Thompson believed had been prospering from the ideas of its older rival. The complaint alleged that Facebook infringed on 10 Yahoo patents covering Internet advertising, privacy controls and social networks. Yahoo Inc. added two more patents to the lawsuit later.
But Thompson's attack on Facebook Inc. quickly turned into a public-relations disaster. Much of the technology industry railed against Yahoo's tactics. Critics viewed the lawsuit as a financial shakedown by a desperate company whose well of innovation had run dry.
New York venture capitalist Fred Wilson summed up the enmity toward Yahoo in an acerbic blog post that ended with this denouement: "I am writing this in outrage at Yahoo. I used to care about that company for some reason. No more. They are dead to me. Dead and gone. I hate them now."
When Yahoo replaced Thompson in May with interim CEO Ross Levinsohn, it opened the door for the company to settle the dispute under a reshuffled board of directors. Six of Yahoo's 11 directors joined the board after Yahoo sued Facebook on March 12.
Yahoo's legal assault had exposed Facebook's vulnerability to patent claims as it prepared to complete the biggest initial public offering of stock by an Internet company.
Facebook insulated itself by buying 750 patents from IBM Corp. for an undisclosed amount and spending $550 million to acquire an additional 650 patents that one of its biggest shareholders, Microsoft Corp., had purchased from AOL Inc. Armed with its own arsenal of intellectual property, Facebook signalled that it wasn't backing down and filed its own lawsuit against Yahoo in April for patent infringement.
With Thompson out, Levinsohn was free to work out a deal with Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg. The two issued statements Friday praising each other for working toward a deal.
With the agreement, Yahoo and Facebook revert to the amicable relationship that they had been fostering before the lawsuit. And it appears the antagonism is dissolving into a partnership that could benefit both companies.
Yahoo already has been tying many of its services and content to Facebook before the lawsuit was filed. Now the two companies plan to display ads on each other's sites, while Yahoo plans to feed even more of its coverage of major events to the social network.
Although it has been growing at a robust clip, Facebook is still trying to win over skeptical investors. Doubts about the company's revenue potential have weighed on Facebook's stock, which has remained well below its IPO price of $38. The stock gained 26 cents, or nearly 1 per cent, to close Friday at $31.73.
Yahoo is trying to snap out of a long-running financial funk brought up by Facebook's success and Google Inc.'s dominance of Internet search and advertising.
As revenue fell, Yahoo has gone through four fulltime CEOs in five years in hopes of engineering a turnaround. The foibles have depressed Yahoo's stock, frustrating shareholders still angry about a squandered opportunity to sell the entire company to Microsoft in May 2008 for $47.5 billion, or $33 per share.
The stock dipped 7 cents to close at $15.78.
The Facebook pact may have pushed Levinsohn closer to being anointed as Yahoo's permanent CEO. Jason Kilar, CEO of online TV service Hulu, had been under serious consideration for the top job at Yahoo, but Hulu said Friday that he had decided not to pursue the position. The statement was issued in response to several published reports citing unnamed people who described Kilar as Levinsohn's primary competition for the Yahoo post.

And a growing number of players stream video from Internet sites such as Netflix, giving you access to the world of on-demand entertainment. With prices now starting as low as $100 or so, it's no surprise that Blu-ray players are pushing standard DVD players to the sidelines. It makes sense to consider a DVD player only if you have an older, standard-definition TV and don't expect to upgrade soon. (We no longer test standard DVD players, but you can get buying advice here.)

Failing to protect your computer from online threats can shorten your machine's life and lead to the theft or corruption of data, including sensitive personal information. But you don't have to spend a lot on security software. We found that free programs are fine for most people.
- E-book readers
E-book readers are portable devices, usually with display screens optimized to show the electronic text of digital books. These electronic book readers are typically larger than cell phones and smaller than most tablet computers. Tablets with e-book apps, Web browsers and more robust processors typically offer more versatile than e-readers.

emo boy love story (boyxboy) 8Sorry it took a while to get this one on. enjoy rate and message me if u want xx
My Banners <3
Suddenly alarms go off, i fall to the floor and have to cover my ears from the deafening blare. It stops. I pull my fingers out of my ears, they ring. I stand up quickly remembering the people in the white clothes. I peep through the small window in the door. I almost have a heart attack when i see a large face staring back at me, angrily.
I step back as a buzzer beeps and a heavy unbolting sound unlocks the door, it swings open slowly with a spooky creek. A large man comes up to me and grabs me by the arm, and escorts me down a long corridor. The corridor is painted with rows of doors, just like mine. The roar of people yelling out to us from behind the doors is incredible. Thats when i figure where i am. I had seen this in a horror movie once. I was in an insane assylum. But why? What did I do?? I'm not insane! Atleast I dont think I am!
I am seated ina large room, with tables and people in uniform white sitting at their own places waiting. The same man that escorted me here enters the room.
"Vistitin' time!"
People start to pour in from the entry way, conversation and excitment fill the air. Everyone had someone to talk to but me. How come noone came to visit me?
"And who do we have here, a new guy huh?"
I turn to look behind me. A guy no taller than me with black hair and blue eyes and no older than 18.
"Names Taylor" He says coming around infront of me.
"I'm Alex" He is holding a tray with an arrangment of pills layed out. He then places down about five infront of me.
"Dry... do you want to swallow them dry, or do you want water?!!"
"Oh. i was thinking something completely different" i begin to blush.
"Hahah. what are you in for?"
"Well the thing is.. im not quite sure. One minute i was at school, the next thing i know im in this
place! Do you happen to know why I'm here?"
He shakes his head "Sorry champ, I'm just the pill guy, I aint a doctor aor anything... so no-one has come to visit you?" He looks at me intrigued.
"Nope not a soul..."
"Not even a girlfriend" He begins to look at me sideways as if he knows what i am about to say.
"I dont uh have a girlfriend, I'm gay"
A small smile spreads across his face, he catches me looking and he looks down.
"Thats cool."
"Yeah i spose. What about you.. do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nah. I'm gay too" he giggles quietly, quite cute in my opinion. He says goodbye and walks off to the next patient. Wow this guy is hot! but wait, what about Josh you ask?! Well I dont see Josh here right now! I dont see him visiting me, like isnt that what boyfriends do?! pffft . whatever maybe this is just the drugs talking but right now i dont give a flying fuck about Josh!!! I think I might even have a new love interest!
I wake up sudenly to the buzz and creek of my opening door and wait for my eyes to adjust to the lighting.
"Wakey- Wakey!" a cute voice calls to me. Its that pill guy... uh... Taylor. "Time for your pills babe" holy shite, did he call me babe?! Thats awsome i so just had a hardy! hehe
"Wet, right?"
"Hhahah, as in you want to swallow your pills with water! hahha"
"Oh, yes please hehe" I take my pills and just as i expect him to go to the next patient, he sits on my bed and looks at the floor.
"Look Alex, I think your really cute. And there is a hospital dance coming up and well you wanna come with me?" *butterflies* this so reminded me of Josh, and the school prom that I'm supose to be going to with him.
"Sure I would love to." Taylor leans over me. We look into eachothers eyes and just when we are about to kiss he pulls away.
"Sorry hun i cant... I'm working" he turns my head sideways and gives me a peck on the cheak and then walks to the door.
"See you at the dance babe."
These are some pics of taylor

After reading the Environmental Working Group's 2010 Sunscreen Guide released today, I did what millions of others probably did -- I panicked. According to the EWG, only a few dozen of hundreds of sunscreens on the market actually protect us like they should. After plugging in the two products I use regularly on myself and my kids, only one made the cut. The other was on the "avoid" list because it contained "harmful chemicals" and didn't live up to its claims.
Five hundred sunscreens on the market using the latest technology and only 39 work. Really?
Dermatologist Dr. Zoe Draelos, a consulting professor at the Duke University School of Medicine and spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology, who also tests sunscreen products in her laboratory, applauds the EWG for looking at the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens, but feels the group is making unfair "sweeping generalizations."
"I think it's very sad," Draelos says. "A lot of their sunscreen recommendations are based on very old technology, and some of the best sunscreens on the market have newer chemicals that are much more effective. A lot of their opinions are not keeping pace with technology and an understanding of the science of these formulations. The nuances of sunscreens are very important."
You also have to consider the source. The EWG is a research and advocacy group that tries to change public policy and industry standards, largely through consumer-friendly tools and databases similar to the sunscreen report. The EWG's critics, largely members of industry, have argued that they often over-exaggerate data to promote its political agenda, which it does explicitly through a separate lobbying group.
The bottom line is they don't like manmade chemicals and would never recommend a product containing a chemical with "unknown" health effects. That's why you won't find sunscreens containing anything other than zinc and titanium, from brands such as Badger, California Baby, and Loving Naturals, on its list. Among its most hated: oxybenzone, an ingredient common to many sunscreens that in some studies has been linked to cancer. But there's no consensus on that.
I don't like the idea of my body absorbing chemicals with unknown health effects either, but I dislike the idea of skin cancer even more, and until they can prove the former risk outweighs the latter, I'll need a little more convincing. And truly, doesn't everything we do, use, and eat have unknown health risks these days?
Draelos noted that zinc and titanium, when made into very small concentrations as is common for skin care products, can be absorbed into the skin, as well. No one is sure what the long-term health effects from them are, either.
The other really awful sunscreen ingredient that the EWG alerts us about is vitamin A and its derivatives, specifically retinol and retinyl palmitate. You've probably seen the anti-aging claims on many sunscreen products; these probably claim to contain "vitamin A."
The EWG will tell you that these ingredients could actually promote cancer.
Another misspoken claim, explains Draelos.
Retinol or Retin-A is a skin peeler -- it removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of the dermis, and by virtue of that, your body's ability to block cancer-causing UV rays is decreased. That's why people who use it are told to wear sunblock and to use it only at night, because the sunlight deactivates it. In other words, it does nothing.
Retinyl palmitate, an anti-oxidant used strictly as a preservative to help the product retain its creaminess, is likely the retinol derivative found in these products, and it is completely safe, Draelos says.
I wanted to know if I should continue using my current sunscreens and Draelos said yes. Despite the EWG's claims that products with really high SPFs drastically overstate their sun protection claims, Draelos still suggests a product of at least 50 or more.
Like the EWG, she agrees the FDA needs to get on the stick and finish up their set of standards for measuring UVA rays, the deeply penetrating ones, that they've been working on for years. I agree that we won't really know if the products are protecting us as well as they claim until then. Draelos says that will eliminate a lot of confusion the EWG has over many of these sunscreen issues.
Meantime, there's no good reason to stop doing what we've been doing.
"You're going to be fine," says Draelos, who has faith in these companies and the testing they put their products through. "These sunscreen makers have a lot of resources riding on their products, customer service is important to them, and they want to be the leaders in this area for many years to come."
Did the EWG report scare you off your current sunscreen?
I completely agree with you! As you say, the EWC "over-exaggerates data to promote its political agenda"--right on! They are just like PETA and the Physicians Committee for Responsible medicine. You have to read between the lines. There's no way I'm letting my little 4-year old Snow White outside with no sunscreen on a blazing 90 degree day...even if it's not on the "safe" list. She would be a lobster is less than an hour---now how can that be better than wearing "toxic" sunscreen???
Draelos "has faith in these companies" and says retinyl palmitate is "completely safe?" Those are two clues right there not to trust a thing she says. The large skin care companies are not looking out for us or protecting us from harmful ingredients -- they are focused only on their bottom lines.
Why slather on toxic chemicals when there are safe and effective alternative??? The 2010 EWG Guide gives some effective options without nanoparticles: http://www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen/finding-the-best-sunscreens/?search=&brand_id=&ptype=moisturizer
I'll admit I freaked out when I read the report from EWG and went to three different stores to find a sunscreen without retinyl palmitate. I'm not usually one to jump on the band wagon but I have two children ages 4 and 1 and we spend a lot of time outdoors. I would rather be safe than sorry when it come to their health. I found water babies pure and simple and I'll continue to use that product until the FDA comes up with something more concrete.
I discovered the EWG website after wondering whether my Banana Boat SPF 50 sunscreen was really doing the job. I had gone to the beach with a friend. He didn't wear any sunscreen and he did not get a sunburn; I wore the Banana Boat and got a sunburn! So through EWG I found out that Banana Boat is not an effective sunscreen. I'm glad I discovered the EWG website. Now I use a sunscreen that really prevents sunburn.
Yes, the EWG report did scare me off one of my current sunscreens-- Hawaiian Tropic Baby Sunscreen Stick-- which was #1 on their hall of shame list...I was already concerned about sunscreens based on some reports that the chemicals in sunscreens may cause cancer.
I agree with Tanya above and "I don't like the idea of my body absorbing chemicals with unknown health effects either, but I dislike the idea of skin cancer even more"...what about if those chemicals cause skin cancer?

Make a Lil' Snowman Soup!
Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla: In winter, our family likes to make little packages of "Snowman Soup." Basically, it is a pouch of hot chocolate mix, some mini marshmallows, a couple of Hershey's Kisses, and a little candy cane. We put it in a cellophane bag tied with ribbon, but you can use a mug or cup if you like.
There are lots of cute tags you can print off the Internet. Check out Crafty Sayings.com and Organized Christmas for some ideas. Make a basket full -- and it's a fun way to thank someone or send a little something home with a guest.
Here's the best part: Until January 2, the hot chocolate is free (or nearly so) at Target! You can go to Target.com and print a coupon for $1.00 off a Swiss Miss box of ten. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page for a grocery coupon link and there's also a $.50 coupon for the chocolate kisses). There is one coupon per box, but you can buy as many boxes as you like at one time. Since the coupon has no restrictions about being copied, you can print as many as you like. I generally like to limit myself to 10 or 12 at a time and leave some for others. At my Target, the hot chocolate is on sale now for $.97, making it free after the coupon. I think the regular price is $1.22, so 22 cents is still a great deal.
I've made a ton of Snowman Soup packages and given boxes of hot chocolate to friends and family. I have a bunch ready in the car for when I see food collection bins, and I'm saving some for my kids' school food drive. Why not spread a little holiday cheer this season?
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!
Thanks for the tip!
Thats an interesting article – your blog is really good i keep coming back here all the time keep it up!
Thanks so much! Have a great holiday.
My cancer striken wife loves Chocolate and wow she really loves diamonds.
Following my monitoring, thousands of people on our planet receive the mortgage loans at various banks. So, there's great possibilities to get a sba loan in any country.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
It's not a matter of lore, here, it's psychology. I admit, I did think of the favoured enemy mechanic from D&D, but I wasn't actually trying to incorporate it into my rationale. Rather, I was thinking about the reason why a hunter hunts, and the manner in which they approach the hunt.
If you really want to get into lore, I can point you at Sylvanas. Her singleminded hatred of the Scourge is a powerful example of this sort of hunter. Another example would be the Silverwing Sentinels. Not all are hunters, but those that are certainly develop skills for stalking and skirmishing the Warsong in Ashenvale, all for the sake of avenging Cenarius and the felled portions of the forest.

First apologize for the trouble brought to all your guys by the FM modules from elechouse.com
This module was designed 2 years ago.
We knew that the on the chip datasheet it recommends 1.6~3.6V. The chip has an LDO inside. However, in the limit testing, we kept this module working under 5V for 1 month. There is no problem. And we tested all the modules one bye one with 5V from Arduino. All work ok.
Later we understand it was wrong to wrote 5V even it could work under 5V. We need to follow the rules.
We might ignore other factors, such as that 5V might be the max voltage it could work with. Unstable 5V power supply may cause problem.
In fact, there were customers reporting that the module had problem. For those we could not help fixing the problem, we shipped again, but just in a few cases. And the new module had solved the problem.
We are upgrading this module to new version now. 2 months before, we planned to discontinue this module. However, later we decided to upgrade it . We are prepared for replacing any defective FM V1 module for our customers in the future.
If you FM module got problem, just contact us.

Friday August 20, 2010
"More families and individuals are making an effort to be healthy and fit and our Hike & Bike events are a great way for families to exercise and have fun together," Abramson said. "People of all ages and experience levels join us from competitive cyclists to children on training wheels and walkers of all ages – it's a Labor Day tradition for many of our residents."
Subway Restaurants continues as the Hike & Bike title sponsor, with Norton Healthcare a presenting sponsor.
The 15-mile cycling route, with an optional leg for a total of 18 miles, will take cyclists along the scenic Northwestern and Southwestern Parkways and into Shawnee Park, one of Louisville's signature Olmsted-designed parks. An optional route of just over three miles will journey across the Second Street bridge, giving cyclists a close-up view of the nearly completed KFC Yum! Center arena. Turnoffs will provide alternate cycling routes as short as two miles.
For walkers, a wheelchair-accessible 5K course of just over 3 miles will start at Waterfront Park, cross the Second Street bridge, then return to Waterfront Park. Walkers can bring dogs to participate in the hike, but must keep their dogs on a leash and pick up waste during the walk as required by law.
Both the cycling and walking routes will be marked with signage and will include water stops staffed by volunteers to assist participants. The Louisville Bicycle Club is providing "bike captains" to help cyclists obey the rules of the road. "Bike doctors" will be in Waterfront Park before the ride and along the route to assist cyclists with any equipment problems. Louisville Metro Police will provide traffic assistance at key intersections and the Louisville Metro EMS bicycle team will patrol the route. Media support is provided by Lite 106.9 WVEZ.
A healthy marketplace with nutritional snacks, free children's activities and informational booths will begin at 9 a.m. at Waterfront Park. Free T-shirts will be available for the first 2,500 participants, and the Brain Injury Association will distribute 250 bike helmets to riders who don't have one. A "bike rodeo" with safety education activities for youth will be offered by Norton Healthcare, behind the Flock of Finns sculpture at Preston and Witherspoon.
Abramson said the city's ongoing StreetSense safety campaign for cyclists and pedestrians will have a booth at the Hike & Bike.
This is the sixth year for the Hike & Bikes, which are held each Memorial Day and Labor Day. The events are part of the city's Healthy Hometown Movement, created to encourage Louisville residents to be more active and make healthier lifestyle choices. For more information, go to www.hikeandbikelouisville.com

Hello guys,
I'm new to the forum and new to the Subaru cars. I'm interested in leasing an STI hatch w/ navigation. I got a quote from one of the dealers around my area, which is in Los Angeles,
for 36 months lease 12,000 mi/Year.
drive off: $1261.65
monthly: $651.09 includes everything.
Based on (I haven't negotiate the price yet).
Out the door $43,995
I just want to lease the car for three years and return it because I have other cars purchased. Since this car will be my dd, I don't really want to spend too much on my monthly payment. Originally, I was only going to accept payments around $500, then I got this quote, not sure if it is worth it.
Any recommendations will be appreciated, Thanks!

When I feel overwhelmed with fatigue and anxiety, I meditate with Clear Quartz to help me focus on creating harmony and balance in my life. Maintaining a positive attitude takes discipline. It requires our focus and energy to love ourselves, and to do good things for our bodies that help us feel good. However, too often, we entertain our minds, letting 'thoughts' fool us into creating hurdles we end up having to overcome. Don't allow yourself to get in your own way! Learn how to be an influential force in your environment, shining like a bright pillar of Light, for your highest good, and the highest good of all, meditating with Clear Quartz Crystals, today's power Crystal of the Day.
"Quartz is silica, the most abundant element in the Earth and the human body. An example of "as above, so below," silica is essential for healthy, well-oxygenated cells; it is one of the building blocks of the immune system and our planet. A master healer, Quartz amplifies energy and optimizes health. The medieval Ashmole lapidary states that Quartz quenched the thirst and made a man "lecherous and kend."
[Clear] Quartz holds a dynamic hologram of the soul and universal knowledge. The indigenous people of America refer to Quartz as the brain cells of Mother Earth, and this abundant crystal seems to instinctively know what is required. By attuning to your frequency, it transmutes negativity, amplifies energy, adjusts your vibrational field, and raises your consciousness. This deep soul cleanser removes the seeds of karmic dis-ease, detoxifies the emotional field, and balances your mind." - Judy Hall from 101 Power Crystals
"Clear Quartz is the most multi-functional and versatile of all the minerals. When someone uses the word 'Crystal' this usually implies Quartz. It is the most abundant mineral on the planet and can be found on every continent. It is also used in almost every technology you can think of - including computers, television, radio, medical equipment, satellite, household appliances and much more.
It has the ability to generate, amplify energy and to hold memory. As a result they have been active record keepers and witnesses to the evolution of the planet and consciousness. There are many people that believe that the original blueprint of what the evolution of consciousness in the physical world of matter could be like was originally 'downloaded' as a hologram into a Quartz Crystal skull.
Because Quartz is 'programmable' and can hold and amplify your intentions, it can be used to support any aspect of your life, and can work within any of the energy bodies. Spiritually it can connect you to ancient civilizations, other dimensions, higher guidance, soul purpose and the essence of the Divine. Mentally it can help stimulate new ideas, clarify concepts, prioritize and sequence tasks, and/or generally engage the logical or creative brain. Emotionally it can help raise awareness of constricting or expansive emotions, sooth the emotional body or accelerate the release or understanding of emotionally charged situations. Physically it may help release blockages held within the body, stimulate energy movement within the body and provide increased vitality and alertness.
It is a regular part of most healing modalities that include work with Stones, Minerals or Crystals. From the laying on of stones, in geometric, numerical or intuitive patterns, body scans using wands (such as Vogel, natural double-terminated, laser, Pranic, and many others) or wearing or carrying them as jewelry talismans, ceremonial wear or pocket stones. Quartz may be used to open, clear, balance and stimulate the Energy Centers or Chakras.
It's uses are limitless… And for anyone who thinks they don't work with Crystals… This is one that is so integrated into our lives that it is impossible NOT to be working with Quartz." - Charles McAlpine from The Magic Of Crystals

My childhood- A Memory Or Just a dream
4 comments:
Lovely poem :) And we do miss our childhood days and those innocence...ReplyDelete
Thank you Maya, and so many times in our lives we keep wishing we become those babies we once were, because being an adult is taxing!ReplyDelete
very lovely poem. I do miss the innocent smile and the innocent world.. guess there is a way to get it back, but it is a tough route. It is much easier to stay on the way we are..ReplyDelete
lol.. your poem has sparked off some philosophical thoughts. Nice!Replies
Hi sukanya, nice to know that you liked the poem. We long to do so many things as adults when we are children but always forget that the grass always appears to be greener on the other side, but if god gave us a little maturity during our childhood,we'd learn to cherish that period.Delete

Anyways, Faith bought me a glass koala and when we stopped at their house on the way home, she painted my nails not once, but twice. They're kinda damaged now, but meh, what gives :,) I really had fun ^^
Tomorrow we're going to the zoo (finally) and I'm really looking forward to it! I hope I don't have to get up too early tho.

I was wondering if you could tell me how to make Moomaalengie. That dried radish cut up into tiny pieces thats crunchy and spicy! Thanks for the advice about how to wash the chives (buchu).

"He look like he's in a lot of discomfort" "That's putting it mildly." No kidding. I don't doubt it hurts a ton to get hit there a couple times, but he reeeaaaallly acted in pain. I don't want to say anything bad about Jens without reason, but does anyone think he hammed it up a little bit?
Also, if it went to the card after that, I would say that Zhao won. He did a lot more damage in round 1, looked better than Jens for most of 2 until the knockdown and, if anything, looked slightly sharper until the groin kicks. How do they figure Jens won?
Jens sucks. I hope he gets knocked out a few more times before he becomes a vegetable. Call it quits! beating these nobody's wont get you anywhere
Brunson… you besmirch all poker players with you bullshit comments.
Jens Pulver is a legend and deserves respect. I would prefer to put you in an Octagon with him for 3 minutes. I would pay to see the beat down your simple ass would take from Jens, but first you have to tell him how you want him to be a vegetable.
Pulver loves to fight. He has earned the right to go anyway and do it. Idiots like Brunson don't have to watch if they don't want. He still is a strong fighter.
Wow. Finally! He got a win
Trust me Id knock him out
my nuts hurt watching that
Jen's didn't fake s***, he got hit in the dick hard. STFU
@Doyle Brunson you already know you are a nobody and you are no good to the world so i won't mention that.what i will say is you are a nobody and you are no good to the world.
Jennifer Pulver needs to put on lipstick and wear a dress if he's going to keep looking like a bitch in his fights. F*** Jens Pulver!
@ Doyle Brunson and Jens Pulver is gay
Try doing half of what Jens has accomplished you twats.
I used to be a Jens Pulver fan, but then I took a BJ Penn knee!

Watch EXCLUSIVE CLIP of Jake Gyllenhaal in "Source Code." The action thriller directed by Duncan Jones; also star Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga. (scroll down to watch VIDEO, it's pretty creepy)
The story centers on a soldier (played by Gyllenhaal) who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train.
Other Jake news if you'd missed, the hottie (I somewhat think Jake is pretty hot these days must be all the exercise he's been doing) got into a bathroom brawl with some guy who was trying to take a picture of him. LOL. Well, you can't blame Jake if he did get upset, can you?
The movie hits theaters on April 1st.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our child has been going to Patrick Henry for 2 years now. In pre school we had no problems, but now that he started kindergarden we have had nothing but problems. The latest, he was suspended for the day because he yelled out in class and was acting silly according to the referral we got when we picked him up. I have never heard of a child (especially a 5 year old) getting suspended for yelling out in class and acting silly. I am glad we are taking him out of this school, I forsee nothing but more problems.
The staff were extremely helpful with my son's needs.
My 1st gradrer has been here since hindergarten. He has done well and enjoyed the school. It is lacking a gifted and talented program.
Henry Elementary has great programs and is a high caliber school. We are a military family, and were attracted to Henry because of the high academic standards that are set, and met. The school has outstanding teachers, who go above and beyond the call of duty to meet the children's needs. Our daughter has attended Henry for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade and in class the teachers have challenged her to learn and grow. Parents are given the opportunity to be involved in may ways throughout the year, either in your child's classroom or in other areas of the buildling. The teachers and school staff are caring and sensitive to all the students needs and take the childrens safety very seriously. Henry Elementary is a wonderful school with many great programs.

McGeady says fans will soon see the very best of his ability.
Aiden McGeady has promised Evertonians they will soon see the very best of his ability.
The former Celtic winger has been eased back into the British game by boss Roberto Martinez since completing his move from Spartak Moscow last month.
He made his first league start for the Blues against Aston Villa at the weekend, following an outing at Stevenage in the FA Cup and cameo roles from the bench in the previous top-flight matches away at West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool.
The Republic of Ireland winger showed flashes of his quality on his Goodison bow, notably in the opening few minutes when he saw a curling left-foot shot beat Brad Guzan before rebounding back off the post.
He eventually managed 87 minutes before he was replaced in the final stages by Tony Hibbert.
It was another step towards full fitness for the 27-year-old, who is optimistic he will soon be exciting fans with the skills that made him such a popular figure on the terraces at Celtic Park.
"I was obviously a little bit apprehensive at the start, a little bit nervous," McGeady told evertontv. "In the first half I thought I did okay and the second half I probably let myself down a couple of times. But I kept going to the end and I'm just happy that we won.
"It was a great first game for me – not because I played great, because I didn't – but because the team ultimately won and that's the main thing.
"There were a few little things I was disappointed with. If I was on my game I know I wouldn't have done those things, but I can't be too harsh on myself because I need to bide my time and be patient. Hopefully in the coming months I can get up to full speed."
McGeady moved to Goodison three weeks ago and watched on from the stands as Everton brushed aside Norwich City 2-0.
That day also saw Kevin Mirallas score an expertly-taken free-kick in front of the Gwladys Street, similar to the effort that saw off Villa on Saturday.
And McGeady added: "[Kevin's] was a fantastic free-kick. He's scoring free-kicks like that with every chance he gets at the moment.
"We kept plugging away and in the end we got our rewards. For the final 20 minutes we were pressing and we got two goals. To come from 1-0 down and win 2-1 is obviously very pleasing."
Watch McGeady and his Everton teammates face Crystal Palace in the next game at Goodison on Wednesday 12 February.
