Yomiuri Giants: February 27, 2010
by Gen on Feb.27, 2010 @ 5:22 pm, under NPB, Spring Camp
...A number of players, mostly veterans like Alex Ramirez, Michihiro Ogasawara, and Yoshinobu Takahashi, stayed back in Miyazaki and continued their workouts on Saturday.
...Marc Kroon told reporters after his bullpen session on Friday that he was throwing the ball well and that he was making solid progress. He also threw his pitches from about a meter behind the rubber. Kroon is scheduled for another bullpen on Saturday.
...Seth Greisinger threw 24 pitches in the bullpen on Friday before stopping. After meeting with the coaches, the club announced that Greisinger would be return to the States in order to get his right elbow tested. While there is still no timetable for when Greisinger will leave for the US, it seems he will be back in Japan during the first half of March. If surgery enters the equation, Greisinger may be out until sometime in May.
Gresigner initially felt pain pain in his right elbow during a start against the Yokohama Bay Stars on September 10th. He was taken off the active roster the following day. On September 29th, he returned and made a start against the Chunichi Dragons. On October 9th, Greisinger felt some discomfort in his right elbow and did not pitch again for the rest of the season.
It was Greisinger's first bullpen in about two weeks.
...The Giants are thinking about asking Mao Asada to throw out a ceremonial first pitch. Her sister Mai threw the ceremonial first pitch prior to a Hiroshima Carp game on June 30, 2009. They'd also love for her to be a special guest in the booth during one of their televised games.

Web 2.0: The fine line between old and new
With all the buzz over Web 2.0 and social media, are pharma marketers losing sight of interactive fundamentals like SEO and old-fashioned banner ads? Is it time to get back to basics?
Joe Shields
Product director,
Wyeth BioPharma
A phrase I like to use is "Balancing the new with the now." It reminds me to set aside a portion of the budget for smart experimentation. But when push comes to shove, I need to ensure that the foundational, proven tactics are prioritized and executed flawlessly. I also evaluate ROE, or return on effort. The amount of extra resources it takes to convince a large organization to try something new can be enormous, not the least of which is additional MRL review time. Sometimes, pursuing the leading edge with an unknown return is just not worth the effort. Finally, I need campaigns that predictably scale. The upfront investment in content development and program architecture demands that it is amortized over a large number of prospects or customers.
Michael O'Malley
Senior manager, marketing,
MedManage Systems Inc.
Social media presents us, as brand marketers, with a new and exciting opportunity to interact with our potential and existing customers. However, figuring out how to make it best work for the brand – and the customer – is going to take time. This is new for regulatory and legal, it's new for marketing, and we need to make sure that as we move into this arena we can interact with customers in a meaningful, transparent and committed way. With that said, obviously the core interactive marketing tactics like SEO, paid search, etc. must continue to do the majority of the work in driving our business. I can't imagine, even once we have fully leveraged social media, that those programs would ever go away!
Boris Kushkuley, PhD
General manager,
Qi, part of CommonHealth
The promise of Web 2.0 technology can be enticing, especially if it's pitched by a slick new media agency that knows all the right buzzwords. Yet, pharmaceutical brand managers need to keep their eyes on basics such as ROI. Our industry faces many unique communications challenges. For example, you may find that your great idea for a "two-way conversation with a free exchange of ideas" gets whittled into a static HTML page after med/legal review. Focusing on ROI, carefully consider your target audience. Are they using social networks—and to what extent? Can you afford having an unbranded or lightly branded campaign? It's vital to select an agency with experience developing projects that can pass med/legal tests and deliver on the original promise.
Peter Nalen
Compass Healthcare Communications
I never thought I would ever see "old-fashioned" and SEO and banners in the same sentence. Search engine optimization and paid search are foundation tactics for websites, and provide excellent ROI. Once you've built a solid interactive foundation, consider social media tactics. This exciting, emerging space is the new frontier for patient and physician communications where both groups are online connecting and learning from one another. Engaging in social media can lead to brand insights, product awareness and a deeper relationship with target audiences. But be sure to approach responsibly—only those brands that listen and engage with transparency will succeed.

One of the things I love about Marcus Borg is his quiet understatement. Nowhere in his recent book, Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary, does he shout off the page, "Jesus is divine!" or "Accept Jesus as your personal savior ...or else!" As a matter of fact, the most sensational words of the whole book are featured in its subtitle: "a religious revolutionary." Which makes me suspect that, like so many of the words attributed to Jesus but actually added by others, Borg has his editors to thank for the book's subtitle.
The most categoric statement concerning Jesus in the entire work is: "Jesus is the decisive revelation of God--of God's character and passion" (p. 303). Uh...is Borg declaring that "Jesus is the Decider"? Anyway, more comments about the passion of God and of Jesus in a later blog....
As for Borg's method, he interprets the Gospel stories --with emphasis on the Synoptics-- using the historical-critical method also used by John Dominic Crossan and many other biblical scholars. Or, as Borg prefers to call it, "the historical metaphorical" method. In his latest work he expands on the statement he made in The Heart of Christianity: "Stories can be true without being literally and factually true."
I really have trouble fathoming why many Christians today insist on taking every word of the Gospels as literal, concrete fact. As Borg demonstrates, such literalness actually diminishes the import of the Good News. "It does not matter to me whether the tomb was empty," says the author. I don't know if any of you have attended a traditional Sunday service at a "mainline" church recently, but can you imagine what would happen if the preacher made a statement like that?
What Borg tries to hammer home -- but always with the gentlest of mallets-- is that metaphor means more, not less when it comes to understanding the message conveyed by the Gospels. For instance, the Nativity stories, he explains, "directly challenge a central claim of Roman imperial theology," namely the claims that Caesar Augustus was the "Son of God," God incarnate, and "Savior of the World" (as Roman coins of the period proclaimed). That says much more to me about what the Gospel writers thought about God's attitude toward the Roman domination system --and what the Gospels have to say to us today about current political domination systems in general-- than insisting on the fact that there were really angels who appeared and spoke to shepherds.
And when a Gospel writer puts the words, "Truly this man was God's son!" into the mouth of a Roman soldier --whether "Mark" actually heard a centurion say this or not-- is like a playwright putting a revolutionary, in-your-face declaration into the mouth of his protagonist. It's as though, if you will, an American interrogator declared that some poor, no-account Muslim who died of privations and torture at Guantánamo had lived a more "Christian" life than _____________ (fill in the blank with your favorite authority figure who claims to speak for God).
(For a disconcerting real-life example of the above, watch this video.)
Think about it. Which statement is more revolutionary: "Jesus died for your sins" or "Jesus' death and resurrection (however you wish to conceptualize it) constitute God's judgment on the domination systems of our time?" Which is the more powerful interpretation of the Gospels, the factual one (empty tomb, angel, glorified body) or the metaphorical one?
Or, to put it another way, which statement do you think is more likely to get the speaker attacked (=crucified) if shouted in a crowded theater ... or from a pulpit?
I was surprised to read interpretations of some of the parables as well as language like "domination system," both of which I had encountered in books written by Walter Wink (The Powers trilogy, The Powers That Be) but did not remember particularly well as figuring in other works of Borg.(Reviewing The Heart of Christianity, I do find much on the domination system.) From the notes at the end of book, Borg and Wink seem to be indebted to Parables as Subversive Speech by William R. Herzog. I'll have to peruse that one as soon as I get the chance.
Borg in his gentle, understated, self-effacing way presents a very subversive Jesus for those of us who, though we may deplore it, are part of one of the major domination systems of our time. (See excerpt of Robert Jensen's Citizens of the Empire.) You have to read carefully to find this author's in-your-face statements. One of them occurs on p.298:
"Given this long tradition of Christian teaching about war, why were the streets of America not thronged with millions of Christians in the months leading up to the war [with Iraq] saying, 'We must not do this-- it violates all Christian teaching about the conditions under which we may go to war'? The most persuasive answer is because of the imperial captivity of much of the church in the United States."Good heavens, Mr. Borg! Whatever are you implying??
Which leads me to something I've been wondering about quite a bit: unless Christianity is subversive, is it really being true to the message of Jesus? Or: Can Christianity be the official religion of the empire and still be Good News to the poor, the captives?

Point Leo and Shoreham's Beach Nesting Birds
Many of you will have noticed a number of roped fences and new signs informing you of the Red-capped Plovers and occasional Hooded Plovers that are nesting and raising chicks on the Point Leo and Shoreham beaches. In conjunction with BirdLife Australia, the friends of Hooded Plover group on the Mornington Peninsula have secured a Coastcare grant to establish a monitoring and management project for Red-capped Plovers. The project is supported and assisted by the Point Leo, Shoreham and Balnarring Foreshore Committees and their rangers.
Red-capped plover male (left) and female are shown below.
The Red-capped Plover is the smallest of our resident beach nesting birds and are often extremely difficult to see while foraging around the sea-grass mats that cover much of our Western Port Beaches. They generally lay 2 small eggs in a shallow sand nest on the open beach and rely on camouflage to protect them. After 28 day of incubation the chicks hatch and take a further 35 days before they can fly (fledge).
The nests and young chicks are extremely susceptible to inadvertent trampling and thus the need for fencing. Before the older chicks can fly they are referred to as 'runners' because they run to collect food and run to escape danger. At this age they are susceptible to being caught by inquisitive off–lead dogs with fatal consequence.
Although the Red-capped Plover is considered relatively common around Australia, it is not known if the populations are stable and there is still much to learn about their life cycle and behaviour. There has been a fear that with increasing beach usage, the breeding birds may be lost to our beaches thus the need for this project. Last year from 13 recorded nests at Point Leo we know of 15 chicks that hatched and 5 that survived to fledge. Is this a good result? We don't know.
If you find a nest please email me on email@example.com or Rob Patrick on email@example.com including details of date and location.

Area Vegetation Pruning (AVP) Program – Shoreham and Point Leo
Sam Dellasanta with whom SCA has liaised with in reference to Byrnes road weed removal, kindly made contact to inform SCA that residents would be notified of this pruning program. Notification of the SCA and residents is appreciated since previous pruning in other villages and parts of Shoreham has been carried out without residents being informed and the scale of the pruning has been considered by many to be unacceptable.
SCA is to have a meeting with Steven Hosking of the company contracted to carry out the work. He is happy to meet any residents on site if they have concerns as to trees being pruned in their street.
Please contact Sue Boggan – email@example.com or 5989 8501 if you have any concerns about roadside pruning.
Return of Migratory Shorebirds - September 2016
With the end of the breeding season in the tundra of eastern Siberia, Red-necked Stint have recently arrived on Point Leo beach. A flock in excess of 100 can be viewed along the surf beach, with a few still displaying their distinctive breeding plumage that gives the bird its name. This is the smallest common wader to visit Australia, weighing a mere 30 gm. It undertakes an epic 10,000 km return trip.
100 years ago - 11 August 2016
A small ceremony was held at the Shoreham Hall to mark 100 years since the death of Private Henry Tuck at Pozières on 11th August 1916. Ann Lorkin read from the an obituary poem by his father, also Henry Tuck. Private Tuck's great-nephew, Christie Johnstone, raised the flag from half mast and then placed a small wreath next to the plaque on Byrnes Road commemorating Private Tuck's death.
Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) now at the Shoreham Post Office
The Shoreham Community Association thanks the Balnarring & District Community Bank for supplying an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) in Shoreham. Application for sponsorship from the Bendigo Bank was made late last year by the SCA to provide an AED for the Shoreham area. This has now been installed at the entrance to the Shoreham Post Office. It is contained in an alarmed cabinet that can be opened by anyone needing to use it in an emergency.
Defibrillators like these have been shown to help save lives, particularly in the event of someone having a heart attack. They can be used to help keep a heart beating while a person is waiting for an Ambulance to arrive. As an ambulance could take over 30 minutes to get to Shoreham the rapid use of the AED could therefore be a lifesaver. In the event of an emergency the first step of course would be to dial "000" which would get professional help on the way. The next step would be to obtain the AED from the cabinet at the Shoreham Post Office and to connect it to the patient. The AED comes with a verbal instruction that talks the user through what to do while waiting for the ambulance. The AED will automatically do what is required for the patient - hence its name an "automatic external defibrillator".
Bendigo Bank has also installed defibrillators at the following locations:
- Ritchie's IGA Balnarring
- Westernport Yacht Club
- Balnarring Foreshore Ranger's Office
- Pt Leo Foreshore Ranger's Office (24 hour access)
- Flinders Yacht Club
- Balnarring & District Community Bank (24 hour access)
- Balnarring CFA
- Somers Caravan Park - co-sponsored with Somers Primary School (24 hour access)
- Flinders General Store - co-sponsored with Flinders District Lions Club (24 hour access) AND now
- Shoreham Post Office (24 hour access)

In February this year, early on in the Oscar ceremony, film fans around the world were exposed to something they hadn't seen in quite some time.
Something they may have forgotten was even possible: the sight and sound of Russell Crowe being charming.
Presenting an award with Ryan Gosling, Crowe and the younger actor delighted the room with their sardonic patter and light-hearted interplay. Coming off a long series of deadly serious films, Crowe seemed to be enjoying himself for the first time in ages.
The chemistry on display boded well for Crowe and Gosling's new action comedy The Nice Guys, and the studio was clearly paying attention, as their comedic interplay has since been the focal point of the film's marketing.
The actors have even gone so far as to film a series of couples therapy videos. A lot of work must go into generating that kind of onscreen rapport.
"Nah. It's just a natural thing," Crowe explains during an exclusive interview in Los Angeles.
"You'll find that chemistry is the great alchemy of the film industry and if it's there, it's there. You cannot - you cannot - manufacture it."
In The Nice Guys, Crowe and Gosling play Jackson Healy and Holland March, a couple of less-than-amazing private detectives in late-1970s Los Angeles who get mixed up in a missing persons case involving some of the city's seedier elements.
At odds when the story begins, much of the fun of the film is in the interactions between these two dropkicks.
"From the first phone conversation I had with Ryan, which was a few years back, we just had a very easy sense with each other and then we met for the first time and again had just a very simple easy rhythm with each other.
"We can talk, listen and understand and then that translates easily on to camera."
A star of Crowe's stature and experience can be relied upon to know how to make a journalist feel at ease. So despite the somewhat ... loaded ... feelings many New Zealanders have for the Auckland Grammar old boy who has long considered Australia home, the atmosphere is relaxed in the Beverly Hills hotel room with the actor and his everpresent ciggie.
Crowe demonstrates an awareness of how he is perceived by many, and relates it to why The Nice Guys works as well as it does.
"To me, if there's any kind of magical element here, you take the principals, you take [producer] Joel Silver, you take [writer/director] Shane Black, you take Ryan, you take myself - these are all people who are reputationally difficult, right? So you put these four people together and you would think this would create an explosive situation.
"But in reality, those four people who are reputationally difficult just care about their job. So when you get four people in those positions who care about their job, you have a really smooth-flowing film set."
The Nice Guys is definitely a smooth-flowing film, and it beneficially recalls the early work of Black, who experienced a major career resurgence in 2013 when he directed and co-wrote the ridiculously successful Iron Man III.
The power he gained from that success allowed him to finally mount the long-planned The Nice Guys, in which the rarely-recaptured spirit of classics like Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout (both written by Black and produced by Silver) comes roaring back to life. Surely that makes Crowe a fan of the kind of 80s action movie that The Nice Guys so wonderfully evokes?
"I'm not really. Not really at all. But I think there's something in this that actually makes a comment on that. So I'm a fan of really good writing and that's what I was confronted with this script. It was presented as a comedy script, and I'm reading it and I'm like 'This is way more serious than a comedy'.
"I loved the fact that [Black] seemed to have reached back in time and picked a point and said 'This is where America corrupted itself, right here' and created absurdity around that."
There are indeed several more layers to The Nice Guys than we've come to expect from our mainstream action comedies.
In addition to the villain's motivation being very relevant to 2016, Healy and March constantly reveal themselves to be less than heroic, especially in their often-shocking dialogue.
"It's f***ing subversive," says Crowe. "There's a couple of lines in there, where we looked at each other while we were delivering them going 'Are we going to hell? I think we're going to hell'."
There is genuine joy in Crowe's eyes as he discusses The Nice Guys, a film that is the actor's most buzzed-about project in years - years that have seen the rough-edged masculinity he specialises in decrease in blockbuster cinema.
"I've gone through a little bit of a rough patch recently where I've made the same decisions that I always make: here's nine things in front of me, here's the one I'm passionate about, so here's the one I'm gonna do.
"And because the business is balanced towards the tentpole at the minute, some of those decisions are a little bit extreme for [the studios'] tastes, so we didn't get the opportunity to make them.
"I've gotta hold fast to the way I make decisions about things. I can't be in a situation where I'm on a set and I don't believe in what I'm doing. I just cannot get myself up at four o'clock in the morning to go and do some bullshit."
Crowe's blokey geniality extends to him perhaps finally revealing the true reason he chose Australia over New Zealand: the weather.
"I left New Zealand in 1968 and came back in 1978 and we - Auckland Boys Grammar - were playing cricket. And I think out of 11 weekends, eight got washed out. And I was like 'I've been taken to some form of hell'."
Who: Russell Crowe
What: The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling
When: At cinemas from May 26

About: 24 year old successful Taiwanese model-cum-actress Alicia Liu Xun Ai (劉薰愛), nicknamed Xiao Ai (小愛) is described as having a face as innocent as an angel with sexy curves and a sweet voice. Her "real" identity was exposed when a schoolmate a year her junior revealed her "secret" on the Internet recently. The schoolmate had also attached a photo taken from the school's graduation album, in which Liu was placed in the male category. After that, Liu called for a press conference to state that she was happy with her current name and identity. "As far as I can remember, I love being a woman. The past is not important," she said while showing reporters her identity card, which stated that she is a female. She neither denied nor admitted the rumour at that press conference.
However, on Friday, a week after the press conference, she admitted that she was a transsexual, reported China Times. Liu said she had always been treating herself as a woman. She wore a skirt to school and used the female toilets. She had five boyfriends and it was her second lover who paid for her operation. The model also said she had a normal sex life like any other women. Some of her ex-boyfriends did not know of her true gender. Such a dangerous world that we're living in these days...but do you mind about it? Eeks! Okay, need to regulate my blood flows back to my head.

The issues before the Board on reconsideration were (1) was the failure to obtain a "hot work" permit a regulatory violation; and (2) was the violation initially correctly classified as serious. The Board determined that the failure to obtain the permit was not a regulatory violation because it did have a relationship to employee safety, and was not a mere registration as is required by other kinds of permits. The issuance of a "hot work" permit requires a systematic jobsite safety inspection which would have prevented the explosion which occurred in this case. The citation was properly classified as serious because the Division established that there was substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result if an accident occurred, and Employer had knowledge of the violation since it knew of the requirement to obtain a "hot work" permit and began drilling and welding work before conducting the safety inspections required to obtain the permit.

Excessive and unrestricted light from bollards, columns, and post tops can negatively impact people, animals, and the environment. However, fixtures that are designed to Dark Sky specifications can dramatically reduce the amount of sky glow and light pollution while saving energy and mitigating impact on the environment. This learning unit will explore the concept of Dark Sky and how architects can specify luminaires to help reduce light pollution and encourage a healthier and more responsible approach to lighting.
Benefits of Tunable Light in the Commercial Workspace
This learning unit provides a general overview of how specific bands of the light spectrum impact human behavior, and how light is distributed using traditional and new fixtures and luminaries. Also, this course explores how new technologies can be used not only to adjust the quantity of light, but also the quality of light in commercial spaces. Finally, the course examines the benefits of tunable white light as an option for architects to create healthful, practical, and aesthetically pleasing interior lighting designs.

Due to dangerous levels of algal blooms in several areas of the Klamath River, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board is advising all swimmers, boaters, recreational water users and pets to stay out of the water until further notice.
According to a press release from the North Coast Region, Cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, has increased to dangerous levels in Copco and Iron Gate Reservoirs, as well as in the mainstem Klamath River from Iron Gate Dam to Walker Bridge and from Happy Camp to the estuary at the mouth of the Klamath River.
"Water samples collected between Aug. 31 and Sept. 13, 2017 from those areas exceed the State of California's recommended threshold for cyanobacteria toxins in recreational waters," the press release said. "The reservoirs and much of the Klamath River currently exceed the 'danger' threshold, and have been posted with public health alerts warning against all forms of water recreation including boating, swimming, and fishing; and further advising against animal contact with the water."
Cyanobacteria appears as bright green in the water and can accumulate on shore. Exposure to the blue-green algae can cause eye irritation, allergic skin rash, mouth ulcers, vomiting, diarrhea, and cold like symptoms; as well as causing liver failure, nerve damage and death in rare situations, according to the California Water Quality Control Board.
Although recreational water activities are not advised, the Water Quality Control Board has several suggestions those those entering the water:
Take care pets and livestock do not drink the water, swim through algae, scums or mats, or lick their fur after going in the water. Rinse pets in clean water to remove algae from fur.
Avoid wading or swimming in water containing algae blooms or scums or mats.
Do not drink, cook or wash dishes with untreated surface water from these areas under any circumstances; common water purification techniques (e.g., camping filters, tablets and boiling) do not remove toxins.
Do not eat mussels or other bivalves collected from the areas. Limit or avoid eating fish; if fish are consumed, remove guts and liver, and rinse filets in clean drinking water.
Get medical treatment immediately if you think that you, your pet or livestock might have been poisoned by blue-green algae toxins. Be sure to alert the medical professional to the possible contact with blue-green algae.

Hey, so the US Federal government shutdown is finally over, hooray for that. My friends who were furloughed get to go back to business as usual, hooray for that too. Also, the Social Security Administration is back up and running so I can finally get a new SS card to replace the one I've lost. I'm also hoping that now that the shutdown has ended, I might have better luck attempting to access and set up an account for the ACA exchange. That website has up to this point been what can best be described as a complete mess. One of the more unfortunate things about the end of the shutdown is the fact that The Daily Show is currently on hiatus, so much hilarity is being missed out on. No hooray for that.
The fix however, seems to be a temporary one at best. The shutdown is scheduled to return on January 15th barring some other, more permanent deal. The debt ceiling debate is also currently schedule for February 7th, so there's that to look forward to as well. As an article on HuffPost put it Congress now has an opportunity "[for] more rational debate and decision-making." I can only assume the writer was typing with extreme sarcasm.
While I and many others are happy that the shutdown is over, apparently some people are not. Michele Bachmann is very disappointed in this whole business of doing her job and making the government actually run. She told the MinnPost, "To me, it's a very sad day, because his agenda is going to go forward and he gets an immediate victory lap." Yes folks, she's upset because Obama got his way. Oh for shame. Quotes like this make her sounds like a bit of a whiny baby. I'm both happy and sad she isn't running for reelection. Happy because she's crazy and hilarious, sad because she's crazy and disconcerting. Here's hoping she becomes a FOX News pundit so we can all continue to listen to her particular brand of lunacy.
Ted Cruz is also ready to do this all over again. He's all set for another government shutdown to occur next year if he can't get his way. This is despite the fact that the PPACA was passed by both houses, signed by the President, given the go ahead by SCotUS and has survived – last I checked – 42 repeal attempts. He doesn't care. The "Sarah Palin of the Senate" (thank you Slate) spoke with ABC News and told them that "[he] would do anything, and [he] will continue to do anything [he] can, to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare." Apparently destroying Obamacare is his raison d'être. That and running for PotUS in 2016. Way to keep your eye on the prize Mr. Cruz. Oh, and Tom Delay thinks "real" Americans think Canuck Cruz is a hero. Yeah, I'm okay with not being Tom Delay's idea of a "real American."
And of course, who can forget the country's newest darling, and my personal favorite, the screaming stenographer? I love that she randomly brings up the Freemasons because why not? All of this makes me wish we could do what Queen Elizabeth II representative, Sir John Kerr, did during the 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis. Or, as it's apparently also know, The Dismissal. Apparently in a similar circumstance to what just occurred for us Sir Kerr dismissed the Australian Prime Minister. A budget was then passed, and Kerr proceeded to dismiss the entire Australian Parliament. Delightful.
I'm trying to imagine some of the pending arguments that are going to be incorporated into these upcoming debates. Would success for the ACA exchange be interpreted by the GOP as something crazy like, I don't know, FEMA internment camps being used by Obama to brainwash people into wanting affordable health insurance? Or will Jeh Johnson's confirmation to Homeland Security Secretary, and his role in the fight to end DADT, be used in some strange way as well? I'm not sure how exactly, but the far right is nothing if not… imaginative. Oh, and also Benghazi, because why not. Tea-baggers love to bring that up at the most random times. We'll all just have to wait and see.
PS I'm really proud of myself for figuring out how to type the 'ê' for raison d'être.

Over the years I became addicted to trying. There was a fire inside me I couldn't put out.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
"If you look in the dictionary under determined, you'll see my smiling face," says Los Angeles author and playwright, Alretha Thomas. After fifteen years of trying to become a published author, Thomas has signed a four-book deal with Soul Mate Publishing.
Sold by Stacey Donaghy of Donaghy Literary Group to Deborah Gilbert at Soul Mate Publishing, the deal includes all four standalone books in Thomas's Cass & Nick series: Married in the Nick of Nine, The Baby in the Window, One Harte, Two Loves, and Renee's Return. All the books fall under women's fiction. Married in the Nick of Nine, the first book in the series, about a young woman turning thirty who wants to meet, fall in love with, and marry "The One" within nine months, was released July 2, 2014 and is available on Amazon.com.
Thomas says she knew she was destined to be a writer when her fifth grade teacher chose and read her short story aloud to the classroom. However, she says she had no idea the road getting there would be so long and winding. After graduating with a journalism degree from U.S.C., Thomas soon realized her heart was not into journalism and that she wanted to write stories rather than report them.
Her journey began in 1999 when she wrote her debut novel, Daughter Denied. Upon completion, she pitched the story to agents and publishers, but there were no bites. Thomas says she spent a few years pitching the novel and then shelved it for several years. She says she was told her writing was strong and even came close to landing representation on a few occasions, but in the end there was no deal. The reasons varied from the market being too competitive for a first-time author to a lack of interest in her story. Then in 2008, inspired by Obama's decision to run for president, she decided to self-publish.
Daughter Denied, loosely based on her dysfunctional childhood, was embraced by readers across the country. This inspired Thomas to write her second novel, Dancing Her Dreams Away. Again, she sought representation to no avail. Instead of quitting, she forged ahead and self-published Dancing Her Dreams Away in 2011.
In 2012, three became the charm when her novel Married in the Nick of Nine piqued the interest of Donaghy. Thomas said she was at the hair salon when she received an email from Donaghy expressing how much she loved the story. Thomas says she almost fell out of her stylist's chair when she read the message. Donaghy signed Thomas and then began to pitch her book to editors. After a year, Gilbert, also impressed with Thomas's writing and storytelling ability, made an offer.
"It's a long-awaited dream come true!" Thomas says. When asked why she never gave up, she replied, "I tried, but over the years I became addicted to trying. There was a fire burning inside me I couldn't put out."

So we're building a new place with Centrex Homes, so far we're really happy with them. Much better than our last builder (cedarglen).
Has anyone built with them. Anything out of the norm that I should be aware of?
One can not change stupid, but at least you can stun it with a 2 x 4!!
Built a house with them in Kincora in 2008, Nice plans, pretty decent finish for the price. I was disappointed with the selections for lighting specifically. At that time they used Cartwright, not sure who they use now.
The service guy was a retard, everyone else was good, I would build with them again.
Where you building, Paskapoo?

Feces-flinging mayor
If he didn't leave it the doorstep with the top afire, I'm not sure it should count. "No harm, no foul," as the lawyers say.
San Marino Mayor "Embarrassed" Over Dog Poop Controversy
The mayor of an affluent Southern California community caught on surveillance camera tossing a bag of dog poop into a neighbor's yard has resigned, he confirmed to NBC4 on Tuesday.
Dennis Kneier, the mayor of San Marino, announced his resignation, effective Tuesday.
"I thought it would be the very best thing for us to move forward and have a reorganization and have a new mayor," he said in an interview at his doorstep. [...]
In his letter, Kneier cited continuing public fallout and embarrassment stemming from a June 7 incident in which he admitted to discarding a bag of dog feces on a neighbor's private walkway.
Kneier was cited for littering by the San Marino Police Department.

With the sleek and elegant 2014 Vanquish Coupe making its way into Aston Martin showrooms, the company has unveiled the next chapter in the Vanquish story, the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. The Volante (Aston speak for convertible) aims to introduce buyers to a stylish droptop that is not only an elegant alternative to the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider and the Mclaren MP4-12C Spider, but also chronicles several key milestones for the iconic British Brand which is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary.The exterior styling of the Vanquish Volante is virtually identical to the Vanquish coupe, and that will please loyalists that were fond of the coupe's clean lines, crisp curves, and elegant One-77 inspired tail lamp assemblies. However, unlike its heavier coupe sibling, the Volante's body is entirely constructed out of carbon fiber, which is the first time such a feat has ever been done on an Aston Martin product. This unusual choice of material allows the Volante to shed excess weight and also improve the profile and build quality of the car since the process requires fewer body panels which ensures tighter fit and finish. In addition, it should allow the Volante to be much lighter than the 5500 lb Bentley Continental GTC Convertible. The Bentley is more of a luxury cruiser than a corner-carving performance car. Aston engineers have equipped this iteration of the Vanquish with a triple skin lightweight fabric roof which takes 14 seconds to fold in and out, and can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph (which cannot be said for some of its competitors). The whole assembly is discreetly stored under a lightweight tonneau cover that does not impact the car's overall trunk space which should please buyers that need the otherwise tight accommodations to store golf clubs, groceries, or supplies for a weekend trip. Continuing its innovative theme, the Vanquish Volante will also be the first Aston drop-top to feature a "full height" windshield which features glass that stretches all the way up to the fabric of the top. This improves driver visibility as well as the car's visual presentation when viewed by curious eyes.
The interior of the Vanquish Volante is also largely carried over from the coupe version and features extensive use of upscale materials such as satin chrome accents, Luxmil leather, and Alcantara which all blend together to create a stunning example of purposeful elegance. The cabin also gets some of its inspiration from the limited production One-77 supercar with this connection most noticeable in its center console design. The console not only houses the infotainment system and start button, but it is also home to the climate control and gear selector buttons.
Performance for the 2014 Vanquish Volante comes from the familiar 5.9 liter V12 which is borrowed from the Vanquish coupe and is good for a potent 565 horsepower and an equally stout 467 lb-ft of torque. While this is slightly lower than the 567 horsepower wielded by the fore-mentioned Bentley, it is higher than the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider and all of this muscle is channeled to the rear wheels through the company's six speed Touchtronic 2 six speed automatic transmission which allows the Volante to reach a top speed of 183 mph and complete the dash to 60 mph in a brisk 4.1 seconds. Meanwhile meaty carbon ceramic Brembo brakes allow the car to achieve strong steady stops when its time to bring things to a halt.
Pricing for the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish will begin at a lofty $297,995 when it arrives on dealer lots later this year. Despite the 458 Italia Spider having a slightly lower base price of $257,412, the Aston makes up for it by being more comfortable to drive as well as being slightly more practical than the track oriented Ferrari. Aston Martin has released a brief video about the Volante which can be seen below.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
If you look at initial reports of the death of Johnny Lewis -- the "Sons of Anarchy" actor and, as all the media outlets have made sure to note, the ex of Katy Perry -- the name of the woman he is accused of brutally and horrifically murdering is not even mentioned at all.
Her name is Catherine Davis. And she is a Hollywood legend. A near saint.
And a kind and loving mother to so many, including me.
A writer, artist and entrepreneur, the media later explained her as an "elderly 81-year-old woman." This could maybe be used to describe her bones.
Cathy Davis was a woman of astounding energy and clear-minded self-creation. The house she rented to accused killer Johnny Lewis -- and to me, Parker Posey, Thomas Jane, Chris Parnell, Paula Poundstone, and so many others -- was known to us as the "Writer's Villa." It is located in an affluent part of Los Feliz and was built in 1927 to resemble a Villa in Spain or Italy. The original bathrooms of Malibu tile still exist, reflected by the beveled mirrors in the medicine cabinet. Hand-painted pink. Turquoise and lemon yellow ceramic tiles are inlaid in the sunny staircase that is at the center of the house leading to a carved door that is always open.
Born into humble roots in Texas, Cathy made sure she got into UCLA and there flourished in that atmosphere of 1950s Los Angeles where endless possibilities and vacant lots and a lot of handiwork led to a dream fulfilled.
Marrying and having a baby, Catherine moved into what clearly was a dream house on that gentle hill. The marriage dissolved and the feminist movement took hold and Cathy became what I always called a "Sesame Street feminist." Bold and colorful, simple, direct. Easy. She understood how to flatter men, but was never taken hostage. These were the women who raised my generation -- equal pay for equal work. Independent with the smarts on their sleeves. This quintessentially modern California lady living life on her own terms, armed with only a stack of Sunset Magazines and 100-watt smile.
The ad I answered in The LA Times when I was in my early twenties, read "rooms to rent in Villa." I went there to see. At this point I was making money from acting in movies and needed to settle down and start thinking about buying my own home.
"Well," Cathy said in her pert Texas twinch, "you're in the right place. I am a real estate agent, and we will find you something you will love."
I liked that she used the royal "we." Hollywood is usually more about "me" than "we." I knew nothing about mortgages or equity.
"Your job is to be an artist, to tell jokes," she told me.
I made Cathy laugh intensely. That is the greatest gift of all that I treasure.
When we make others laugh, the tension grinds away, and the moment is balanced. The "me" becomes a "we."
Those of us, that fraternity that lived at the Villa, understoond that. They were the sum of our parts.
I took the room on the right upstairs with a large rounded fireplace and a view of succulents hemmed by aromatic sumac bushes. These native plants give off a slight aroma like gasoline. Clean and startling. Over time, I would move in and out of the Villa while Cathy looked around for my first home. She was quick to tell me I was home and that it was "my room … always."
The door was always open, and soon I found that my boyhood friend Val Kilmer was living in one of the rooms, and there we had parties with serious actors like George Clooney and his then wife Talia Balsam. Paula Poundstone lived there.
Over time, I stayed in every room in the house and became a part of that household, made up of equally eccentric types that came to Lowey Road to stay while in artistic transit or retreat. Cathy was always catering meals for us from local restaurants and long after I moved out, I would attend these long dinners on her flagstone terrace where you would meet Dutch movie stars or violin soloists from Japan. Actors and writers put their best face forward as Cathy demonstrated to them that their dreams were not far from reach.
Her daughter Margaret Davis began writing award-winning books, biographies of prominent Los Angeles figures and families. Proud and pleased, we all were included in Margaret's publishing events. This was her talent. Making you interesting and a specialist in your field.
Cathy, always the writer and reader, began writing her own historical biography on the "Life of Phoebe Apperson Hearst," mother of William Randolph Hearst. She was working on the book in her room when she was murdered.
The screams echoing in the canyon. I play it over in my head now. Why was she screaming? No one will ever know, because now the players are gone. Was it because this creature tenant that had rented a room from her came in carrying her now dismembered beloved cat? The rhythm of murder is always different. It's like the pre-death rattle.
The creature -- Johnny Lewis -- was one of the actors that Cathy rented to. She rented him my old room with metal casement windows that cranked open with perfect symmetry. That room was always dry, and when it did not smell of sumac it smelt of dirt -- dusty grass-fed dirt.
The text I received the day she was murdered was chilling and all-caps: "TEXT ME ASAP."
I did.
"What is it?" I was standing in that back garden of my apartment on West 82nd Street.
"Our sweet Miss Cathy has been murdered."
The breath, the support system of all life is the first thing that changes when the utterance of death is heard. The breath increases. Rising in failed attempts to bring air to the brain to rectify the mistake that has been made in the hearing. Murder?
My ears "heard" that Cathy Davis was murdered by someone who was in her house. This was a few hours after the crime and no one was sure of what the motive for the crime was.
I scanned the Web and saw that the actor from "Sons of Anarchy" was dead. I did not read the article, as I no longer consider these people actors. Knowing full well that they came to Hollywood to be famous and party. To get DUIs and pay their anorexia-enabling stylists to mask the ravages of their marionette chains. They are boring people who say lines.
But this was the creature that is suspected of murdering my 81-year-old friend, and he lived in my old room.
The screams may have come from when Cathy saw her cat brutalized and torn apart. The screaming stopped when she was reportedly hit from above on the back of the head with a two-by-four.
She died with the freshly edited Chapter 6 spread out on the bed. Her coffee and cereal bowl untouched by the violence.
The monster with the cute face is suspected of then beating up the workers next door, pulling one painter off a ladder and hurting him.
The monster then allegedly destroyed all of Cathy's art. Her hand-painted folkloric sculptures and Mexican Wedding candelabras that were used in the annual Christmas Decoration parties that we had at the Villa on the holidays.
The monster then allegedly destroyed all the mirrors in the house, and believing he could fly, jumped off the terrace and landed headfirst on the cement driveway where we all parked when we unloaded our luggage or drinks for parties.
Cathy loved parties more than anything. Not loud. I don't remember music. Only talk and stories of people from other places describing new things and new places.
Then the monster's head shattered. Like, I imagine, a rotten melon.
The monster was allegedly on a synthetic drug and was released early from a sentence for armed robbery with a weapon.
He called Cathy and asked if he could come home.
I know what she said.
"Your room is waiting.
"I will leave the front door open for you."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Stores around the metro rushed to restock their shelves after a weekend-run on the necessities, as people looked ahead to the Monday and Tuesday storm.
"You can tell that I am a wonderful cook. I am stocking up for the snowstorm with not one-not two- but three pizzas. Frozen," bragged Carol Kanter.
"We just left another store and it was chaos. And we decided to come here," said Ivy Fletcher, another shopper.
Store director Guy Steiner said he didn't see any ugliness or hoarding at the Sunfresh in Westport.
"We don't usually get snows that are this large," he said. "So when you get one, it can wipe you out and you need to get replenished. Sometimes the bread companies are scurrying to get as much bread as you need to refill and as much extra bread as folks are buying. They are doing the best they can to get it to us so we have it for the customers."

Rieter AIRtransfer
Rieter AIRtransfer is the improved rotor cleaning on the rotor spinning machine. Now, the rotor cleaning is not only triggered by the robot, but it is also directly executed by the robot. The robot positions itself in front of the spinning position, where the rotor cleaning needs to take place. Once in position, the compressed air unit moves forward and docks itself onto the facing plug of the rotor cleaner of the particular spinning position. A control module, which is integrated into the robot, regulates and performs the rotor cleaning on the spinning position. The compressed air supply for the rotor cleaning is now provided by the robot and not as it used to, by the pneumatic unit on the foot end and by the valves at the spinboxes.
Rieter AIRtransfer is suitable for rotor spinning machines R1 and RU 14/RU 14A.
Loss of compressed air may be the result of porous/defective air hoses leading to the individual spinning positions or defective valves in the spinning boxes. Loss of compressed air no longer occurs, since the complete compressed air supply for rotor cleaning in the machine from the pneumatic unit at the foot end is no longer required. The compressed air for rotor cleaning is now supplied directly by the robot.
With the original rotor cleaning system, the supply of compressed air to the spinning positions deteriorated as the distance from the foot end (air input) increased, due to a loss in compressed air and to a drop in pressure. The supply of compressed air is now constant and maximum, since the compressed air is directly delivered by the compressed air unit and also caused by the function "AIRpulse" (timed blasts of air).
Compressed air is switched on and off alternately by the "AIRsave" function. Cleaning is most effective at the beginning and end of the cleaning cycle when the rotor is rotating. During the interim period, the compressed air can be turned off and a large quantity of compressed air can be saved.
- Complete elimination of compressed air losses
- Minimum consumption of compressed air due to the "AIRsave" function
- Constant air pressure during rotor cleaning at all spinning positions
- Undiminished maximum pressure through "AIRpulse" interval cleaning
- Improved cleaning on the fine face plate due to the "PREclean" function

If you miss a dose of tretinoin cream, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Initial dose: Apply a small amount lightly to the entire affected area once a day at bedtime. Maintenance dose: The duration of active treatment will depend on the extent of the photodamage. Often it will take 3 to 4 months before significant improvement is seen. When maximal clinical benefits have been obtained (usually after 8 months to 1 year of therapy), the patient may be maintained on a schedule of 2 to 4 applications per week. Perpetual maintenance therapy is essential in order to sustain the clinical improvements, although safety has not been established for use beyond 48 weeks for the 0.05% cream and 52 weeks for the 0.02% cream.

BOURBONNAIS -- Brian Urlacher missed his fourth consecutive practice Sunday and it's looking unlikely that the veteran middle linebacker will play in the preseason opener Thursday against the Denver Broncos at Soldier Field.
After Sunday's practice under sunny skies at Olivet Nazarene, coach Lovie Smith would not offer a timetable for when Urlacher will return to the field. He was last on the field Tuesday.

Psychedelic science fiction author Philip K. Dick and glitch music both have a strong appeal to weird intellectual types, so it's only natural that Backwards Records should release a compilation that combines both interests in a two-disc set. Featuring a number of Backwards Records regulars as well as some new names and faces creating music based on Dick's novels and stories, this compilation's best material is its most esoteric. Joy Von Spain's "Radio Free Albemuth" has some beautiful theremin lines worming their way through minimalist synth arpeggios, for example, while Syphilis Sauna's "Gubbish" incorporates everything from muttering growls to video game noises. Rassmussen's "Youth Of Today," inspired by Dick's alternate World War II history Man In The High Castle, evokes the novel's themes alongside the author's Southern California hometown by juxtaposing Nazi rallies with vintage Disneyland commercials, while Kuxaan Sum's "Recollections Of A Blue Sky" and Wounded Infidel's "Nkay" are more abstract, but still fascinating, with lots of clicks, glitches, and tones in the vein of Nurse With Wound, Coil, and Aphex Twin's darker electronic experiments. The more straightforward attempts are more of a mixed bag. Gonken's "Why Can't I Dream" (inspired by Blade Runner) is science fiction electro rap, but though the delivery is amateurish at best, the story of a bounty hunter chasing down robots in a dance club is strangely compelling. "VALIS" by A Scanner Darkly is deep, sludgy death metal, with gurgling vocals and squealing feedback, and though its noisiness should appeal to fans of old Controlled Bleeding and Skin Chamber, it seems like an odd choice, given the titular novel's themes of Gnostic spirituality and redemption. Despite a few puzzling selections, though, this is a delightfully odd collection of songs quite worthy of the Dick's delightfully odd writing.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson didn't wait until Opening Night to get down to business.
After Tuesday's practice, Jackson declared Harrison Barnes out for at least the Warriors' first two games and named a starting lineup for the team's foreseeable future.
With Barnes still unable to practice because of an inflamed left foot, Klay Thompson will get the starting nod alongside Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, David Lee and Andrew Bogut when the Warriors tip off their 2013-14 season with back-to-back games against the Lakers and Clippers on Wednesday and Thursday.
But Jackson was quick to say that Thompson earned the job, regardless of the mysterious injury that has kept Barnes out since his five-minute outing Oct. 7.
"It means that hard worked paid off. It's that simple," said Thompson, who is excited to continue his streak of 122 consecutive starts (12 postseason). … "It's a role I'm comfortable in, but it's just basketball. Coming off the bench or starting, it doesn't matter to me. I know that Harrison and I are going to help the team win and be successful."
Jackson entered training camp saying Barnes, Iguodala and Thompson were competing for the final two starting spots next to Curry, Lee and Bogut, but it was a tough sale, because Iguodala is a more proven shooting guard than Thompson and a more proven small forward than Barnes.
Plus, Iguodala is set to make nearly $8 million more than Barnes and Thompson combined this season. So, it was widely believed that the two younger wings were competing for one spot – a job that Jackson says he'd like to keep consistent throughout the season.
Despite starting only four of the team's seven exhibition games, Thompson led the team in points (16.9 per game) and minutes (31.9 per game). Barnes started both of the games for which he was healthy enough to suit up, but he averaged only five points per game on 16.7 percent shooting.
"He can really handle the ball," said Andre Iguodala, who noted huge improvements in Thompson's game since defending him during last season's playoffs. "I think he was always a good passer, because he could always see the floor. But since he's been on teams where he was the best shooter and the best option, he had to shoot the ball. Now, he can mix it up a little bit.
"And, he can finish. He's finishing with his left hand a lot. You can tell that he put some work into the driving aspect of his game, because people are trying to run him off of the (three-point) line."
Barnes has put in a ton of work, too. Maybe, too much.
He didn't take a break after his 2011-12 season at the University of North Carolina, basically going straight into pre-draft workouts, the combine and the Summer League. He then tripled the game total his body was used to with an NBA regular and postseason.
Heading into his second season, the gym rat barely left the Warriors' practice facility – save for the weeks that he went to Las Vegas to work out with the Summer League team and then Team USA.
The Warriors say it's a foot injury, but Jackson has said it's a toe injury. Barnes started the first two preseason games, but Jackson says Barnes was hurt before he took the court in the exhibition opener.
When a player gets hurt, he has meetings with his agent and the team's head athletic trainer, general manager and public-relations staff. They decide the best way to present the injury to the media, with the player having the final word.
We're kind of left to guess about what's kept Barnes out of practice for more than three weeks, because the Warriors don't allow their trainer or injured players to speak publicly to media. Even after being pulled aside before a recent preseason game, Barnes chose not to comment on the specifics of his injury.
"He's feeling fine, but he's a gamer and a battler," Jackson said. "I'm sure there's a side of him that's discouraged that he's not ready to start the season, but there's also a side of him that is smart enough to understand that it's the best thing for him and this basketball team."
Jackson said he Barnes doesn't need to practice before he plays, and he's already doing some post-practice drills without pain. The coach hopes the rest and rehab given to the injury during the preseason will prevent it from lingering throughout the season.
"We just want to make sure that he's physically fine and that everybody is comfortable with him moving forward," Jackson said. "We're just being smart, and he's on pace. He's running. He's shooting. He's closer."

Hulls' George Boyd is facing a three-match ban after being charged with spitting at Joe Hart.
The FA have charged Boyd with misconduct after referee Lee Mason and his match officials at Saturday's game at the KC Stadium confirmed they did not see him target the Manchester City and England No 1.
The FA's review panel of three former elite referees viewed video evidence of the incident and unanimously agreed that they would have dismissed Boyd had they been officiating.
The Scot has until 6pm tomorrow to respond.
The FA said in a statement: "Hull City's George Boyd has been charged by the FA following his side's game against Manchester City on 15 March 2014.
"The charge is in relation to an alleged breach of FA Rule E1[a] in that in or around the 68th minute of the game Boyd spat at Manchester City's Joe Hart.
"The incident was not seen by the match officials, but caught on video."

In a pretty flat overall market place, Amazon continues to make headway as it is propelled by the ongoing move to cyber space, lower prices, and convenience.
Amazon has three major assets. First, the absence of brick-and-mortar stores allows Amazon to offer an unlimited inventory. Second, Amazon pays no sales tax in most states, which allows the company to undersell its competitors. Third, Amazon's infrastructure allows it to grow almost limitlessly without the need for expensive retail stores.
This is how Amazon's sales developed over the past few years against two major competitors:
Amazon is also holding its own when you look at web traffic numbers (as estimated percentage of global Internet users who visit the sites as per Alexa.com).
In the toy category, Amazon did fantastically well, nearly doubling its market share since 2009:
However, not all manufacturers profited equally from this expansion. Here, the top 100 toys sold by Amazon at the end of August are each assigned a weight according to their rank—the top product got a higher weight than the second product, and so on. This is how individual toy companies fared:
Surprisingly, second-tier companies such as Crayola, Syma (a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of R/C helicopters), Melissa & Doug, and others prove to be vital to Amazon's sales, while top-tier Hasbro brings considerably less to the table. Hasbro's two main categories are action figures and board games. Here is a comparison of the four major retailers of board games:
Hasbro's market share in board games is thought to be between 40 and 50 percent, which is shown in the chart for the three brick-and-mortar retailers. Yet, in the case of Amazon, Hasbro's share is a mere five percent, dwarved by Mayfair's Settlers of Catan.
For action figures, the numbers are as such:
Again, there is a statistically significant difference between Amazon and Walmart, Target, and Toys "R" Us. Activision plays an important role in Toys "R" Us due to the popularity of Skylanders.
Amazon and Toys "R" Us have one significant thing in common: depth of assortment. Toys "R" Us devotes 50 percent more shelf space to action figures than Target, and three times more than Walmart. The data suggests that any market shares gained by Amazon are inherently harmful to the interests of the major brick-and-mortar retailers.
Amazon has a major advantage in that the company pays no sales tax in most states. A comparison of the retail pricing of 12 leading toy products across the four retailers shows that Amazon and Walmart offer considerably lower prices than Target and Toys "R" Us before sales tax. With or without paying sales tax, Amazon offers the lowest prices of all four retailers.
This is likely a look at the future, as state governments and brick-and-mortar retailers are pushing Congress to require e-tailers to pay sales tax. One response to this challenge is for Amazon to institute a same-day receipt of goods policy. The downfall, of course, is that any price advantage would be negated by the cost involved in same-day service. The benefit, on the other hand, is that the almost-instant gratification of the purchase, coupled with a lower price, will appeal to consumers. In the specific case of toys, however, consumers almost always purchase for others—mostly children—eliminating much of the desire for instant gratification. Toys are often purchased in advance for holidays and birthdays. While Amazon undoubtably has an advantage during the holiday season in allowing consumers to avoid the mayhem of a shopping mall, there is little need for same-day delivery.

Baby Clothes
KinderCare Learning Center
For an infant the price is $1100 per month for 3 days per week.
Only thing they don't provide is diapers, butt cream, and lotion.
For 36 weeks the cost will be $13,200 for the first year.
Over All Expenses
Before and After Birth will cost a total of $19,800.
For Baby furniture it totals up to $930.24.
The cost overall for toys is $30.34.
The cost of baby needs (shampoo,lotion,etc.) totals up to be $588.87.
For the baby's food it costs $388.31.
For the total of cash spent on clothing, it cost $312.66.
For daycare it cost $13,200.
The over all price is more than a teen parent can afford.
The Total Cost
The best way for you to avoid spending THIS much money is for you to stay abstinence or at least use protection. The cost of condoms only cost about $7.99 at Walgreen for the Durex brand. If you want to make sure you wont have any plans to having a baby you should try birth control if you are a woman. Honestly abstinence is really, the only good way to control the baby population and teen moms.
This project shows that being a teen parent is harder than it looks. It cost a large sum of money and a lot of a person's time. Life being a parent as a teens isn't all that great. You have to grow up when you are still young. You can't hang out with all your friends because you have to take care of your child.
When I was going through the process of "having a baby", it was hard. A lots of having to decide if you have to do. I had to budget all the money i spent even though i went over the limit. Being a teen mom was hard even through it was on a Prezi only, it must be really hard for a teen with an actual baby. It must be a struggle to raise the child.
