GOP promises spirited attempt to win back seats in the Statehouse
The Vermont GOP is gearing up for a ground war with Democrats in House and Senate races across the state.
The Republicans have recruited 36 new candidates to run for House seats (with at least 74 running altogether) and they believe they have a shot at regaining enough seats to tip the balance of power in the Statehouse.
The state party has been aggressively recruiting high-profile candidates that party officials say have a good shot at winning seats in conservative strongholds -- Rutland, Bennington and Orleans counties -- and in areas that Democrats have typically dominated, including central Vermont and Chittenden County.
The Democrats have held two-thirds of the 150 seats in the Vermont House since 2009. The GOP has had between 45 and 48 representatives during that period, and Progressives, typically hold a handful of seats, and this year an equal number of independents will try their luck.
The GOP holds seven seats in the 30-member Senate, and they hope to gain at least three more. Republicans are targeting Sens. Don Collins, D-Franklin; Ann Cummings, D-Washington; Eldred French, D-Rutland, and John Rodgers, D-Essex/Orleans.
With the Dems smarting over public antipathy to higher property tax rates and frustration over the repeated failures of the Vermont Health Connect system, the Republicans believe they have key wedge issues they can leverage in the 2014 election. The GOP has candidates vying for the seats of several chairs of committees, including Rep. Martha Heath of Westford, head of House Appropriations, and Rep. Mike Fisher of Lincoln, head of House Health Care.
Dave Sunderland, chair of the Vermont GOP, says the goal is to "bring some balance back to the Legislature and state government.
"That's the focus for all of our work that we can restore some balance in Montpelier, and bring a stronger voice for people who feel left out of the process over the last four years," Sunderland said.
Sunderland says he is pleased with the number and quality of the candidates who have stepped up this year, and he expects more to come forward before the June 12 deadline for candidate petitions.
Democrats say they're not worried about the troubled rollout of Vermont Health Connect, the lack of progress on property tax reform or polls showing flagging popularity for Gov. Peter Shumlin.
"We are proud of our successes (in the legislative session)," said Julia Barnes, executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party. "And we will take that into our conversations with voters."
Barnes cited victories for Vermont families on increasing the minimum wage, a landmark GMO labeling bill, attention to opiate addiction and the creation of universal public preschool opportunities
"We're going to go after as many (seats) as we can," Barnes said. "We plan to organize in every Vermont district and provide support for all of our House and Senate candidates. Our goal is to win."

We have way too many attorneys in this country. Our country is being brought down by ambulance-chasing attorneys and the lame-brain attorneys that populate our Congress and the White House. As an example, Japan has 1/10 as many attorneys per capita as the U.S., and 10 times as many engineers per capita as the U.S. That is true of most of the Asian countries with powerhouse economies.
This is a totally BS lawsuit, and the perp and his attorneys ought to be hung out to dry.

This does not appear to be frivolous. The last thing you want is safety department employees breaking the law.

I for one would like to see Lancaster get his day in court. If you actually read what happened to him, bu one of Pleasanton's finest, you will probably be in his corner as well.

I also have had a Pleasanton PD Officer abuse his authority, obtain confidential, secure information and provided confidential documents to others for use within the legal system. They should be held accountable for their actions and all lose their jobs. I for one hope this guy prevails and wins his lawsuits. It will serve that department right. That City of Pleasanton Attorney sounds like a joke. If the City of Pleasanton is smart, they will settle with this guy fast to make it "go away". Good Luck Buddy. I wish I had sued.

Regardless of who/what Lancaster was doing. This Officer abused his authority and provided government documents to others to be used against him. That is a direct abuse of his power, against deparment policy, and actually in violation of the law. Lancaster was just one of the lucky ones that was able to obtain the proof he needed with emails, and verification of proof of disclosure to prove it in a court of law. The City is cooked.

I get all teary eyed thinking about Lancaster telling his purple heart story. If you knew anything you would know Brian was in the Navy and traveled the world!! He was shot when trying to rescue a cute cuddly kitty stuck in a tree. See Brian Lancaster is pure integrity, who will stand up to a senior when he was in 8th grade, total bad arse IMO. He spouts the truth with help from his hot single mom support group. Keep fighting brew ha brahh, maybe someday you will see your children again. And If you win 3 million dollars, you can totally rent the coolest hotel room, with a minibar!! Or you can get some spinners on your Tahoe!!

Lets give a update the Secords continue to hide from the process servers and now can just be served by mail. The still unemployed Mr. Secord who by the way is a convicted Felon and high school dropout wisely uses his time adding subtitles to a movie he posted on you tube making it appear like Hitler talking about Lancaster arrest. Maybe he needed a new project after taking down the 15 or so odd blogs he had posted about Lancaster over the last year under names like Predators On The Loose, Sheep in wolfs clothing, and The Arrest Files.
Ms.Lesley Regina's Attorneys Still see somewhat baffled and confused exactly what they can do to defend against her obvious crimes, her poor moral Character and general disregard for the California state bars rules of ethical conduct. surely she will be tossed out of the Bar and the tri valley will have one less scummy law breaking attorney.
People keep coming out of the woodwork with complaint's about officer Martens. Tim has been reported to love yelling profanities at the TV in his garage while kids are well within the reach of his foul mouth. I mean really how many dogs is this guy going to be allowed to have die while under his supervision before the city decides he isn't pet friendly.
Deputy Silcocks now locked in his own Custody battle has apparently had some domestic problem of his own and according to his Wife's You Tube Website she has filed a restraining order against her ex husband Ryan Silcocks. She reports I will no longer stay silent and says she has been abused by silcocks for years.
Lisa Secord Arrested for Felony Fraud stealing over 20,000.00 in daycare subsidies put in place for mostly homeless children. Apparently she had filed two other times both previous attempts were denied. In this case all her nonsense claims are just that nonsense. Apparently the judge ordered the judge specifically states that Lancaster needs no anger management classes or any classes at all.

You people don't even know the half of it.... I give him all the support. Take it Brian, Take it all the way baby!
You know actually all the guy did was got lucky. To be able to get the people on his side that would believe him. I mean she is good she almost had people believing her BS. Cuz I have seen this crazy twisted case and series of events unfold. All parties involved....Mr. Tim Martens,Mr.Ryan Silcocks,Ms. Regina, and Mrs. Secord, and any others involved, need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. NO EXEPTIONS! Make an example out of them...

text: I have a glock 20 I just bought used. I tried to put a new 3.5 connector that I have had in several of my other glocks so I know it's not the connector. I put it in, and wouldn't fire so I thought. I took apart and put it back in several times, and it wouldn't fire, which led me to taking my glock back apart the long way several times. Last time I took it apart and reinstalled it, and put it together still wouldn't fire. Frustrated, I shook it in my hand and click. Thats right, shaking it made it fire. So what is the deal? What does that mean? Thanks in Advance.

I think Nate is much better than Crawford. He's taking pretty good shots most of the time, ones he usually makes. He's just going through a really bad shooting slump.
We really suck in the 4th quarter. We were playing pretty well the whole game, and then our shots stop falling, no ball movement. Part of it maybe from being tired, maybe they get nervous, I don't know. Either way, we need to improve our composure in the 4th quarter.
Yea. Harrington's biggest problem is the 3 ball. He takes way too many when it isn't his forte. He can take those guys off the dribble. You're totally right. He just needs to realize that the best shot is the shot you take, and the best shot for him is posting and toasting on whoever is guarding him, because usually its a guy hes much faster than and can shake off him.
Hey I did'nt watch the game b/c I watched the college football game but I have the Knicks game tivoed.I know they lost but whoever watched it tell me should I watch it or not.If its one of those games that gets you pissed then I don't want to watch.
All of Jamal's clutch shots are tainted, because he has had so many moments of failure and losing; hitting 4-5 clutch shots doesn't make up for HUNDREDS of loses Crawford has been the main culprit of.
Long live the worst defender and decision maker in the NBA.
Firstly: I think it's wrong to dump a heap of blame on Robinson, when he's usually very dependable: the guy is usually automatic. These past two games, he's shot the ball poorly. It's a slump, and he'll eventually snap out of it.
Secondly: Where's the criticism for Richardson? Outside of Tuner, nobody's come out and stated the obvious: the guy stinks and should not be playing big minutes. Before Crawford was even traded, I stated this; and the Crawford haters came out, saying that Richardson was better and was once "the best player on the Knicks:" Twilight Zone material.
Thirdly: Crawford is gone, and the Knicks are still losing. Bottom line, before Crawford left, we were a game over .500. Now, we're 12-20 or whatever. Crawford is a streak shooter, reminiscent of John Starks or Latrell Sprewell.
He's not needed for D: he's a 2. He's not needed for PG duties, again, because he's a 2. What he does is get hot, sometimes very hot, and score in bunches. His first year with the Knicks, he was losing the ball off of his foot, that type of stuff, though not on every touch, as the haters on here like to say. I liked his game, even then. Since his first season with us, he's played well. And 4-5 game winners is just ludicrous BS, from the same person who said he was "the worst player in the history of the nba." Jamal can play. Why else would Lebron tell the cavs to make a play for him?
Shooting in the low 40's is not ideal, but AI, Kidd, TMAC and many others shoot around the low 40's, without being bashed. The reason Crawford hasn't been able to shine is because he's been put on teams that are dysfunctional. The same reason that the Marburians give for why Marbury has had little success.
I've actually gone to Knick games, and the guy is out there, before all other players, getting ready to play, shooting and running drills. Find somebody else to blame.
Crawford didn't need to play defense because he played the 2?
Crawford only had 4-5 game winners, honestly.
Stop acting like he had 20 and get off his nuts.
One game over .500, in what? like 15 games?
Crawford has gave the Knicks some one of the worst LOSING seasons CONSISTENTLY this franchise has ever seen.
He will forever be the biggest LOSER in the NBA, check out his winning %, the worst in the NBA.
And its getting WORSE.
You say we got worse without Crawford, well did the Warriors get any better?
Crawford stinks.
Hop off him.
k, thanks.
T'Mac is a 45% shooter
J'Kidd can't shoot.
Iverson is a career 27 ppg player, where as Crawford is 15. AI always got a lot of heat, now he's a cancer in Detroit.
all im sayin at the moment is, jamal right now is needed on the knicks more then al harrington, when jamal was here majority of ya hated jamals shot selection, well al harrington's shot selection may be worse, at times this guy be falling from a spin move and he still shoots..we suck in the 4th quarter and jamal was top 5 in scorin in the 4th
A-Yo, Mr. Planter, aren't you the one having players' babies and saying that you love the big ****? If anything, you should get off of nuts.
Craw was a good player. I don't know what games you were watching, but the ones I saw had Craw scoring in bunches, which is what you want from your players and scoring in the clutch, way more than 5 times.
In fact, Craw was one of the few bright spots we had. He was streaky, but he did enough to HELP us get wins, if he had had the HELP to do so. After all, one player isn't capable of winning games on his own.
What exposes your faggot ass is how you fail to ever criticize Marbury, who I like but not to the point where I can't criticize him, Richardson, who you called the best Knick, at one point, or Harrington, who went 5 for 18, last night, without a word from you.
lmao curry looked madd tired with just 3 minutes. Wow im getting really tired of losing in the 4th quarter

Are you game for goats?
I've never been much of a "gamer" -- you know, those video game types who get a kick out of spending countless hours racking up points or battling pretend enemies. The virtual world never interested me.
I've tended to prefer investing my time and energy in things I have considered more substantial or long-lasting. But these days, you could say I have found a new respect for video games -- especially since I started working at World Vision.
How? Well, just last year, while reporting on World Vision's work from Tanzania, I struggled at times to communicate with children in local villages. I couldn't speak an ounce of recognizable Swahili, and they only laughed when I spoke English with my Oklahoma accent. But I quickly learned I had a trick up my sleeve -- or, rather, in my pocket! It was my cell phone.
Before my first trip to Africa, I had spent a few weeks diligently investigating and downloading helpful apps. I had apps for the local weather, apps for news, apps for maps, and apps for many other purposes that I thought could make my trip run more smoothly.
World Vision's Mindy Mizell shows children in Tanzania the games on her cell phone.
Little did I know that the video games I had mindlessly downloaded for killing time on my flights would actually prove more helpful than any of the others.
I was just looking for any way to get the children laughing. Since they kept pointing at my phone, I thought, why not give it a whirl and see if they like the games on it? And boy, did they ever! I didn't think I would ever get my phone back again. I had never heard the children giggle or laugh as loudly as they did that afternoon as we circled around my phone, taking turns crashing virtual birds into objects for points.
It made me realize just how much we all have in common as humans who are created to love laughing. But it also taught me not to underestimate the value of a few good video games.
Then, just this week, World Vision's media relations team was drafting a press release announcing our partnership with a gaming company. Of course, at first, I was slightly uncertain why our Christian organization was joining forces to promote a Facebook game called "Grumpy Goats."
The children exhibit fascination and excitement over Mindy's phone.
Yet, once again I learned not to underestimate the value of the gaming world. I realized that this unique game was about more than getting Facebook users to use goats to score points. It was also about real goats making a real difference in the world.
For the first time, World Vision is partnering with the gaming industry to educate new generations of gamers and Facebook users on how they can help communities affected by poverty halfway around the world. When a "Grumpy Goat" player logs on, they are also offered ways to donate a real goat or another animal to help feed families in need. World Vision's online Gift Catalog has more than 100 unique gift ideas for gamers to pick from that do more than battle a virtual enemy -- they fight real hunger and poverty.
That means the children whom I played with last year could very likely get more than an afternoon of smiles from video games. They may also get a real, live goat that could feed their families for a year.
Last year, the children I met had actually received chickens from World Vision's Gift Catalog. The chickens not only provided much-needed eggs but helped pay for school. During my next trip to Africa, I guarantee I will introduce Grumpy Goats to the children I meet.
But next time, before I leave, maybe I need to learn enough Swahili to tell them the game is also helping feed them, too!
Intrigued? Try out the Grumpy Goats game today!
Want to make a difference right now? Give the gift of a goat through World Vision's Gift Catalog. Goats help provide a steady source of nutrition and income, creating a means by which to establish independence, hope, and freedom from poverty!

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Chris3123, Jun 7, 2012.
No joke.
While a DVD release hasn't been specifically mentioned yet, it sure seems likely.
Well, it's not April 1rst so I'm going to take a chance and believe this wonderful, wonderful news. I will be first in line to get those disks be they DVD or Blu-Ray! Finally saner minds have prevailed!
Forget Cesar Romero and Burgess Meredith. What about Julie Newmar?
Please, please PLEASE let this mean that a DVD/Blu Ray release is possible. PLEASE. I haven't bought much recently, but this, I would totally get.
Don't you mean Eartha Kitt?
"Holy sliced Gordian knots, Batman!"
"A deft historical allusion, old chum!"
Hopefully this does mean a DVD set will be coming, presumably from WB. And hopefully it will be comprehensive. The show's been rerunning on cable for quite a while now, and I got to catch up with most of it that way last year, but they left off a few episodes, specifically the Egghead and Shame 2-parters which both featured rather stereotypical "Indian chief" characters, presumably for fear that that would be offensive. But they were products of their time, and I don't think the Indian stereotypes were any worse than, say, the Middle Eastern stereotypes in the King Tut episodes which they did rerun, or just the general exaggerations of all sorts of character types throughout the show.
Nope, and not Lee Meriwether either . . ..
Kitt had the sexiest purr, Meriwether was great at writhing and caterwauling, but Newmar was the quintessential Catwoman.
That is amazing news. I never thought that would be resolved.
I can resolve this dilemma!
Throw all three upon a catnip laced bed and set the cameras rolling for the "sure to follow" lesbian three way!
As much as I would love to have the series on DVD, the article only mentions that the likeness/image of the actors can now be used by WB. If they could really release the series, wouldn't the article have mentioned it?
^ Wet blanket!
True. That's why I said "Please let this mean" and not "when is the DVD release?"
It's a step in the right direction, that's for sure.
One of the presumptions as to why the show has never been on DVD was that DC and WB was embarrassed about this version of Batman. But if they want to merchandise it, clearly that was totally wrong!
I hope this is a good sign of DVDs are getting closer.
I would love to see some of Adam West voice over work in batman cartoons included as extras. He voiced Batman in the last two season of Superfriends. One of which is called "The Fear". Which was written as a pilot for a Batman spin-off that never happened. It was the first time outside of the comics that Batman's origin was shown. Adam West gave a great performance. Considering his own show only gave a passing mention to Bruce's parents death it would be a great inclusion.
I never believed that. If that were so, why would they have ever allowed the cartoon Batman: The Brave and the Bold to be made?
And why would embarrassment stand in the way of making money?
Oh, I never believed it either. I think that was from an aspect of fandom who only wants a serious take on the character. Just projecting their personal standards on issues they had no control of.
That was always just a ridiculous fannish theory. Rights and contract issues were the only sensible explanations.
WHAT!? Fandom would NEVER project their personal standards...
Separate names with a comma.

The problem has hit a critical point in the last three years, with residents from the Professorville and Downtown North neighborhoods persistently complaining that parking spots in front of their homes are disappearing. Things are expected to get even worse in the coming years as a number of downtown developments proceed through the city's approval process.
Neils Buchanan, a resident of Downtown North, addressed the council last Monday on the topic. "The impact of ever-increasing parking is very obvious to us," he said, and the neighborhood is reaching a "saturation" point when it comes to parking. He urged the city to act expeditiously.
"We hope the City Council will give us a definitive solution, as you did to College Terrace," Buchanan said, referring to a neighborhood next to Stanford University that has a residential parking-permit program.
Ken Alsman, a Professorville resident who has been one of the most outspoken critics of the downtown-parking policies, called his neighborhood the city's "biggest public parking lot" and urged the city not to give developers any concessions when it comes to parking.
"We have been giving multi-million-dollar grants to developers who don't need it or deserve it, and the neighbors are paying for that," Alsman said, referring to exceptions that reduce the number of parking spaces required at new buildings.
One of the ideas that the council is scheduled to consider Monday is a proposal by developer Charles "Chop" Keenan to help the city build a garage near his soon-to-be-constructed office development at 135 Hamilton Ave. The garage would have room for 145 self-parked cars or 194 cars using tandem or stacked parking. Under Keenan's proposal, the office development would use the top two floors of the five-story garage (63 spaces, or 93 if cars are stacked), though they would become available to the public on weekends and after 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Keenan proposes having the city contribute $1 million toward construction of the new garage, with his company taking care of the balance of the project, which he expects to cost about $8 million, according to his proposal.
Keenan's building is one of about a dozen downtown developments that are currently under construction or going through the planning process. These include the Lytton Gateway project at Alma Street and Lytton Avenue, the new hotel slated for the Casa Olga site on Hamilton and Emerson Street, and a four-story project planned for 636 Waverley St. These projects will bring about 95,000 square feet of non-residential development, pushing the downtown area well beyond the threshold for new development that the city approved in 1986. Reaching that 223,000-square-foot limit requires the city to conduct an analysis of downtown and consider whether it can accommodate further development. The city plans to send out requests for proposals for the new study by the end of this month.
The new report from the planning department notes that downtown buildings' vacancy rates are now below 2 percent, and lease rates for offices are in the $6 to $6.50 per square foot range — among the highest in the country.
"Many of the newer office developments, however, have not provided parking to the level required by the zoning code, as exemptions are provided for transferable development rights and other provisions," the report states. "Many approved or upcoming projects have potential to add to the square footage of office space downtown or to impact downtown or nearby parking or traffic."
City staff plans to introduce proposals in the coming months to eliminate some of these parking exemptions. But as an overture to frustrated downtown residents, the city is considering more near-term solutions. One involves selling 174 more parking permits total at the Bryant Street and Cowper Street garages starting at the end of this month, a move that is expected to reduce waiting lists for downtown parking permits. The city also plans to introduce a valet program at the garage on High Street between University and Hamilton avenues. This attendant-parking program is expected to increase capacity at the garage by 20 percent, though it would also drive up permit costs.
Another short-term measure is reducing the number of parking spaces in the City Hall garage allotted to city employees. The city plans to introduce a "transportation-demand management" program that would give workers incentives to take alternative modes of transportation, a move expected to save 50 to 100 spaces.
At the same time, staff and its consultant are evaluating five other downtown locations as possible sites for parking garages. These include lots on Hamilton Avenue and Waverley Street; on Gilman Street and Bryant Street; on Gilman and Waverley Street; on High Street between Hamilton and University avenues; and on Urban Lane. Staff plans to bring an interim report to the council about these sites in May.

YES!!! This is all I'm trying to point out to some of you Mike D fans. Players can effect a game other than offensively. Players dont have to score in order to make huge contributions to a win. The game Turiaf had today is proof positive of this.

Love Turiaf. Brings the defense and is a great teammate and a great guy.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I like his game also. Hopefully he can stay healthy and get 20-25 mins a game from here on out...
I want to see him start with Amar`e moved back to the 4, which is his favoured position.
This is even more of a reason why I wanna see AR and Moz get some burn. Everything doesn't revolve around offense...we have two athletic, young, 7 footers on the bench.....TWO!!!
Some teams in the NBA wish they had one 7 footer as athletic as either Moz or AR. Why are they wasting away on a team that desperately needs some rebounding help? Does that make any sense under any sort of logic? "My team is getting killed on the boards...I have two athletic 7'0'' kids, who will only get better with reps, sitting on the bench...but instead of playing them to grab a ****ing rebound or two...I'm gonna let them ride the pine because I'd rather get Wilson's 10 points in 38 mins as a starter as opposed to 25-30 mins coming off the bench."
Like Moneyg said in another thread....Love the record, hate the path.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Listen, Mike D's teams played defense but the players he had, like STAT, didn't defend their man very well. Also, his teams in Phoenix were always undersized (and now NY). When they are able to run and force teams to play a very fast, scattered type game; they were successful. But when teams forced them into a slow methodical half court game (especially San Antonio) that small sized worked against them. We are seeing affects of that; teams grossly out rebounding us.
That is why I am miffed at everyone here wanting to bring in more players that do not play defense, 1 dimensional selfish scorers. Turiaf and Fields has shown us the benefits and value of a strong minded defensive players on the court.
Also, we are not seeing AR and Moz playing because they are extreme liabilities on the court right now. Moz gets a foul just walking onto the court and AR is out of control when he gets playing time. Mozs inability to adapt to the NBA causes him to disrupt the Knicks game; kills momentum and sends the other team to the foul line. AR is just bouncing off the walls when he gets on the court! I know Mike D concentrates on him in practice but AR is struggling. If the Knicks want to burn this season as well, they could just tlet AR and Moz play and try to see if they can work out their issues on the court.... Do we want that?
A player can have all sorts of talent but if they can not fit into a system or a a city stresses them out.... What good are they to us? They have more trade value than playing value for us... I'm sure Mike D would love a 7 ft player with his athleticism and talent; but if that can't be realized with the Knicks than he needs to be moved.
Get a new owner!!!
When I look at what Jordan Hill and Milliecec (sp) are doing now compared to what they did under Mike D it's ludicrious. Again, neither is an allstar, but they are making contributions. I dont think AR and Moz upset the overall game plan. Just the offensive game plan. Wouldnt you agree?
Would you say that Turiaf also disrupts the Knicks OFFENSIVE game plan? Yet looking at yesterdays game we wouldnt have won without him. Why not utililze a players strengths instead of admonishing him for his weaknesses? Hill and Darko are getting better every game they play. I'm sure giving AR and Moz playing time would have the same affect.
I think you want to tie this playing time into Knick wins. Which I think is incorrect. The Knicks right now are beating the teams they should, but losing to the so called elite teams. These losses are basically because of defense and rebounding. Why not utilize these 7 footers to see if they can make up the difference, or at least decrease the difference? Seems logical to me.
If Mozgov is getting 2-3 fouls almost immediately that's a defensive liability too because we're in the penalty way too early in the quarter. That being said we get torn up by the other teams big men almost every game so I'd like to see Dantoni play those guys a few minutes a game to see if they can do anything. I felt Darko and Hill deserved more minutes last season and their play this season shows they could have contributed.
Wow he just did the same post on two different threads....
poster formerly known as jeckomaru
Not trying to get into a dick swinging contest with you ronoranina, but I've forgotten more about BBall than you'll ever know.
Based on your philosphy when STAT was averaging 7 T O's a game (he's still over 4) he should have been benched. Nah I dont think so. Does Moz get into foul trouble a bit too much? Possibly? But. IMHO he's being targeted by the refs. Many of his foull calls are of the ticky tack variety. I've seen this kid develop. In preseason he had a problem with moving screens. Got coached up now you rarely see that called on him (when he actually plays). The only solution for this is to let him play and let the refs see he's game more, and coach him up.
As far as AR I thought it was shot selection? Funny that a coach that wants shots to go up in 7 secs or less has a problem with a players shot selection. The problem is AR doesnt have a midrange jumper of note. If he did he'd be playing. It doesnt matter that defensively he could lock down a bunch of small forwards in this league. It doesnt matter that if you get him closer to the rim his shooting % goes up DRASTICALLY. If he cant run the offense to COACHES liking he's benched.
Whats funny Gallo (although I admit he's improving) couldnt defend my 12 year old neice. But because he's the BEST SHOOTER our coach has ever seen he gets 35 mins a night. You wanna look at flaws? Lets look at Gallos. He's weak. Cant take it to the rim consistently. No handle. Cant defend. Cant shoot off the dribble. Has no left hand. Inside game is NON-EXISTENT. Yet coach extols his limited game. But offensively he fits what Mike D wants to do. Like I said in another post defense is 50% of basketball.
In the future when you come at me make sure its real. Nitpicking at a players flaws doesnt make that player totally useless to that team.
Basically we need a new coach...

REAL knick fans want a defensive minded coach, run or not, who represent the fans, hard work, intimidation, championship or not...

Our premium coffee beans come from the world's three main growing regions: Latin America, African/Arabia and Asia/Pacific. Sometimes we blend different coffee beans to showcase the characteristics of a particular growing region. Other times we blend beans from separate regions to create tastes and aromas not found in any single-origin coffee.
Take a moment to explore the coffees of Latin America and see the people who take such great care in their harvest and processing.
Latin American coffees tend to be clean, familiar and friendly, with flavors reminiscent of nuts or cocoa.
Coffees from Africa/Arabia are extraordinary and enticing, with floral aromas and flavors of berries and citrus.
Coffees from Asia/Pacific tend to be bold and assertive, full-bodied with earthy and herbal flavors.
We invite you to try them all, and explore the distinctive flavors in each cup.
In our search for the very best arabica coffees, we spend a lot of time visiting farmers and growers, working with them to help improve the quality of their coffee. It's a long journey, but it's well worth it – just ask Carlos Mario, Starbucks Agronomist.
With options from A (Americano) to well, almost Z (White Chocolate Mocha), the possible coffee drink combinations seem endless. Whether you're visiting one of our stores or brewing at home, it's fun and easy to create your own Starbucks signature drink.
Just pick a basic espresso beverage and customize it the way you like it. You can change the size, temperature, flavor, milk, toppings – you name it.
Of course, all Starbucks Signature drinks begin with great-tasting coffee....

Heika: Second line shines as Cody Eakin, Michael Ryder help Stars find just enough offense
DETROIT — Had he been given an elevation to the second-line center position in the fall, Cody Eakin said he might not have handled it that well.
"I'm not sure I was ready then. I might have overthought things and tried to be too skilled and play a different way," Eakin said. "But having played in [the AHL] and having gotten a little time in this system, I knew I had to just play my game."
And Eakin did that to near perfection Tuesday in the third game of a 48-game season. The 21-year-old center, acquired last summer from Washington in a trade for Mike Ribeiro, moved onto a line with Michael Ryder and Ray Whitney and chipped in two assists in a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Ryder scored both goals, and the second line changed the dynamic of the game for the Stars.
"We were just trying to create some more offense," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said of the line swap. "He used his speed and made plays to get pucks to the right guys. I thought he played a simple game, and he's going to get better as he goes."
The move was just one aspect of the Stars' victory, but it was needed after the team struggled to create scoring chances in a 1-0 loss to Minnesota. Add it to stellar goaltending from Kari Lehtonen (39 saves) and increased physicality and net presence, and the Stars really were an improved team.
"I think it's great," Lehtonen said. "We just have to keep going. At this time, I think everyone believes a lot more after a game like this."
The Stars are 2-1-0 out of the gate with three games in four nights, two of them on the road. They also appear to be a team that can address problems and react properly.
Ryder seemed to be stumbling out of the lockout with two sluggish performances, but when he was given the chance to fire some shots Tuesday, he was lethal. His first goal was a snap shot that slipped perfectly into the upper left corner of the net. The second was a one-timer that Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard couldn't catch.
After seeing Jaromir Jagr, Derek Roy and Loui Eriksson dominate the Stars' early offensive play, it was nice to be reminded that Ryder led the team in goals with 35 last season.
"I knew it was going to take a couple of games to get into it and get my timing down," Ryder said. "I feel better as each game goes on, so that's a good thing and I'm going to make sure I keep doing the work and try to get better each game."
The timing of the game was important for a few reasons. One, the Stars have big home games against Chicago and St. Louis coming up. Two, the chemistry still is forming on the team. And three, Jamie Benn still is not in uniform.
While the Stars are treating Benn as if he is injured while they try to negotiate a new contract, it's clear that pressure is going to decrease if they win. So getting a strong game from Eakin serves a lot of purposes. No, the youngster isn't going to replace Benn, but he helps the Stars overcome the loss.
Bottom line, they were better in a lot of areas.
"I think you saw us defending a little faster and getting on guys in our D zone," Gulutzan said. "They [the Red Wings] are such a good team, so you have to defend fast. At the end of the day, I thought we created some good chances in the second, maybe took advantage of their back-to-back, but they got a push in them the last six minutes, they pushed real hard, but Kari was equal to the task. That summed up the game."

Why the vid with crappy music? Why not just 15 high res images of the DS4?
Seems like extra work for nothing
Edit: oh ok the vid made me not want to click to see if the were actual individual hi res pics
I despised the prototype, but this looks mean, sleek, and very sturdy. Bravo Sony!

Recently, Isreal has banned the practice of declawing cats. It joins other countries,- Australia, Brazil, United Kingdom, Finland, Estonia, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It's time for the United States to ban this inhumane practice, as well.
Declawing is an understatement, because in order to remove a cat's claws, the first joints of each toe are actually amputated. It is a very painful elective surgery that could take weeks of recovery and effects walking or scratching in their litter box. It can also cause lameness and balance disturbances. And there are also anesthesia risks.
It is estimated that about 25% of United States cats are declawed- a convinence for cat owners to keep the kitty from scratching their furniture. We suggest if pet owners are that concerned about their belongings, they do not own cats.
We ask the American Veterinary Medical Association to stop this unethical practice and ban declawing cats.

Long live the Dregs!!
Nailed it. I can also add both of the Liquid Tension albums.
Eruption - Eddie Van Halen
Does Pink Floyd's 'Careful with that axe, Eugene' count?
It has one spoken line and a scream.
Agree with Mogwai but Green Onions probably ges my vote
great thread.. some kick ass stuff posted..
but.... shockingly it's missing any links from arguably one of THE greatest guitarists/showman's
okay, are you ready? ... check this out
this is tough
right now I'd say Metallica's Call of Kthulu or Orion
none of this has changed my mind.
all these have something in common, they are beautiful things to listen to, not just there to showcase someone's instrumental virtuosity.
Sure, there is plenty of virtuosity on offer (Geddy Lee, Eric Johnson), but it's not the point of the pieces.
it isn't about who can fit the most notes in to a few minutes.
I admire Dream Theatre, but I tire of the pretension really quickly, whereas the best thing John McLaughlin ever did was forget about the pile of steaming wank that was MO and go play acoustic with Al and Paco (but that's not 'rock', so it doesn't qualify here)
Yeah. But their fans LOVE that pretension. Musically, their stuff is just nuts. They'll play something in 15/8 but phrase it into three bars of 3/8, 7/8 and 5/8. You don't see that tight, precise, heavy sound outside of Meshuggah or Necrophagist. With those band, however, the vocals are completely unintelligible and monotonous.
^This! +
Samba Pa Ti, Santana
Toccata, Sky
Uspavanka za Radmilu M, Goran Bregovic
There's a vocal version of it, it goes:
ah.. that brought a smile to my face.. also reminded me of bond music
East West by Paul Butterfield Blues Band
that is a trippy performance isn't it? lol ... wonder if that drummer left any coke for his band mates that night
great tune, great band. still love them nowadays, with warren haynes and dereck trucks. i had the opportunity to see the Derek Trucks band here in Italy a couple of years ago, and i must tell you that he's a fantastic live musician ,very skilled, his band was nice too.

Great gig in the sky-Pink Floyd (debatable whether it's instrumental or not)
Incantations-Mike Oldfield

Robby C
jeff coffin--of the dave matthews band
What's scarier than the possibility that dude is on coke is the fact that he very likely isn't on coke.
Anyway, that's Christian Vander, ex-jazz drummer and all-around strange guy. He's a fantastic drummer, antics aside. He writes all of the band's lyrics in a conlang (invented language) called Kobäian, which he created himself ("advanced" fans of the band supposedly can speak it). Magma's albums all tell a single, evolving sci-fi story, and have for almost 40 years. The older female singer is Vander's wife.
Amazing band. Not for everyone's tastes, though.

Verizon Funded US Government Survey Downplays Net Neutrality
Tuan Nguyen
September 20, 2006 11:36 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
...And instead talks about the importance of cable TV access
In a recent survey conducted by The Glover Park Group and Public Opinion Strategies LLC, 90 percent of Americans said they preferred to have choices for video service providers over net neutrality. Interestingly, the survey did not appear to address the real issue of net neutrality, which is whether or not network service providers should create tiered networks based on application and client. Instead, survey takers were simply asked whether or not they were more concerned about cable TV choices or net neutrality.
has been
following the net neutrality topic since the beginning of 2006
. So far, the topic is still up in the air, but many content developers are saying that by allowing service providers to create tiered networks, it would impede on the development of Internet services and web applications. If things don't turn out well for net neutrality,
Google previously stated it would start filing anti-trust cases against major telcos
The questions in the survey conducted by The Glover Park Group also seemed to be one sided. For example, the questions about cable TV choices were easy to understand and well explained, but those concerning net neutrality were not. The survey explained that net neutrality as "enhancing Internet neutrality by barring high speed Internet providers from offering specialized services like faster speed and increased security for a fee." Technically, all service providers sell different packages that offer a variety of speeds and email options. From the explanation, the survey made it appear as though the questions were directed at the user,
when in fact the issue has to do a lot more with content providers
For example, we have Content Provider A, which sells books and music CDs online. We also have Content Provider B, which competes with A. We also have an "Internet service provider" that has a large customer base. If Content Provider A pays the "Internet service provider" a certain amount of money to allow users access to its site faster and easier than Content Provider B, herein we have the problem of net neutrality -- or the lack of. From the end user's standpoint, he or she would just be thinking "B seems to always be slow, I think I'll just shop at A."
Despite the obvious flaw in questioning,
The Glover Park Group found (PDF)
the following:
66 percent were more concerned with delivering TV and video services
19 percent were concerned with net neutrality
3 percent were concerned with both
8 percent were concerned with neither
4 percent didn't know or refused to answer
Interestingly, when asked how many people have even heard of net neutrality, 91 percent said no and only 7 percent said yes. The remaining 1 percent didn't know. In fact, the majority of the survey revolved around cable TV choices. The US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation
contracted the survey and published the findings as authoritative, which can be read here
. From the release:
The survey found that very few registered voters are familiar with the issue of network neutrality. In some regions of the country, only 5 percent of likely voters had even heard of "Net Neutrality." The survey found broad support for a "Consumer Internet Bill of Rights," like that contained in the Senate's communications bill. The provision contained in the Senate bill prevents Internet service providers from blocking access to competitors or degrading a consumer's broadband service. According to the survey, when presented with a choice between video choice and additional net neutrality legislation, an overwhelming majority of voters supported video choice.
In other words, the US government is downplaying the importance of net neutrality for both consumers and content providers by introducing a much more well known everyday topic of cable TV. The
poll was funded by Verizon, which previously said that it disagreed
with the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act (COPE). The COPE act allows local governments to collect up to five percent of fees from Internet service providers to put towards developing high speed access in areas without it. The COPE act also will allow local governments to control what Internet service providers do and what they can charge customers if they are the only provider in a certain area -- i.e. monopoly.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

This Class D amp sounds as good as my AB amp
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
My Yamaha DPS amp and Forte Audio FT-1 AB amp were insufficient in powering my PSB Gold speakers. By moving the Forte to power center, back and back effect speakers I now had room to power the front speakers. This amp doesn't have the punch I was hoping for; that's my only complaint. However, with a Subsonic sub, the bass is not an issue. Now the good: it's like you purchased new speakers. I never used this system for music. Now songs I'd heard countless times sounded different. Honest, I'm not just saying "different" for effect. I honestly heard sounds that were NEVER there before. The kids and highs are just great.
Pros: Easy set up, crisp sound and powerful. Open box model (which looked brand new) was 1/2 price of MSRP. Tech support guys at PeachTree Audio were very pleasant and took time to answer any questions that I had.
Cons: The shape takes getting used to. I think it'd be great as a center piece or something that sat under my iMac, but it's shape and color stands out like a sore thumb in my stereo rack. Sometimes different can be good right?

Dan Golding, videogame blogger at Crikey, has written an in-depth piece on the accessibility of in-game gambling with real money in FIFA 13.
Seeking clarification as to why a game with real money gambling could be rated G, Golding received multiple responses from the Classification Board and one from EA stating that the service being used (Virgin Gaming) is a third party piece of software, and is not something which is a part of FIFA 13 itself, and therefore does not require age rating.
To Golding's mind, however, the ease of access to the in-game gambling and lack of regulation is a cause for concern, and he concludes the piece by calling on people to start having a serious discussion about gambling and videogames.
The full article can be found on the Crikey blog.

E3 2003 – First
Spawn (working title) is an
intense action game from the creators of Soul Calibur 2. The game will follow
Spawn's exploits and will no doubt feature some nice classic characters from the
series, like Clown/Violator, providing a nice story that's faithful to its
source. I played Spawn for a little bit and the first thing I noticed was how
much the game played like Devil May Cry. As Spawn you can dispose of your
enemies in two ways: melee style with an axe, or you can shoot them with your
handy-dandy pistols (which are drawn akimbo a la Dante from Devil May Cry).
The graphics were pretty
nice, although the PS2 version suffered a bit from slow down and dreaded jaggies.
Spawn looked pretty accurately like his comic counterpart and had some pretty
cool animations. It looks especially cool when you juggle your enemy in the air
with gunfire and then smack them down with a swing from your axe. Also, Spawn
trademark tattered cape looks very cool when you glide down with it. Spawn had
a bunch of really neat combos, although the gameplay did feel a bit repetitive
and simplistic. However, it will all depend on how the final game looks when
it's released this fall.

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies: Kelvin Universe' started by cubbie, Apr 9, 2009.
You can see a new clip with Scotty, Kirk and Spock here.
Hehehehe. Groovy.
What's with all the lens flare on these clips, I wonder? Slightly distracting...
Yeah, now I'm a little more convinced about Quinto's Spock than before. But... is it wrong and sick of me that Pegg's Scotty reminds me a bit of Neelix here?
They really got to stop it with these new clips every day...
They task me. They task me and I shall have them
Multiple geekgasm!
The classic sound effects!
"Can I get a towel?"
Can't breath!
Have to watch it again!
"can I have a towel?"
OOO Grumy Spock.
Extremely wrong to compare Scotty to Neelix!
Then I don't wanna be right! No, upon second viewing of the clip (third, actually), I take back what I said. I like it.
And the sound effects... aaaaah! Lovely.
I love the sound effects, and it's sweet to see a pissed off Spock, but those lens flares are annoying!
You are forgiven, Eddie Roth
"can I have a towel?"
Somehow, Scotty reminds me of Ford Prefect from the Hithiker's movie.
I watched Nemesis on AMC and noticed a few lens flares here and there (hey, that rhymed!). I have high hopes for this movie and I expect it to outdo Nemesis in almost all areas... but please, don't try to top Nemesis in the sheer number of lens flares!
My thoughts exactly... or rather of Arthur Dent.
Oddly enough, he reminded me of David Tennant. Who, in hindsight, probably channeled Arthur and Ford anyway...
"Are you in starfleet?"
"I.... Um.... Yes."
Love the swishing doors... and hope those lens flares aren't so pronounced or distracting in the movie.
I am enjoying those clips of our new heroes but...I want a captain Robau clip too dammit.
^^^ But showing Robau would be too spoilery!
Looks like Quinto's channeling a little bit of Spock from "The Galileo Seven" and a little bit from "All Our Yesterdays."
God that such a tease. It still doesn't have very much Scotty in it.
And I do love the sound effects.
Separate names with a comma.

There's something better than a headrest television to keep youngsters busy in the car. For moms on the go, looking to motivate their lil learners, Family Fun magazine features one mama's inventive idea in its March issue.
Before you slip into the driver's seat to man the wheel as you shuttle the kids to and from extracurricular activities, tape lessons on the back of the headrest so your children can memorize things, from their spelling words to addresses and telephone numbers while you roll.


text: A deleted line from Nick Fury in Captain America: The First Avenger stated that the division that Philips, Stark, Erskine, Carter, ect; all worked for, the SSR, became SHIELD after the war. This contradicts the first Iron Man movie in which SHIELD is said to be a new department, but is consistent with Iron Man 2, which states that Howard Stark was a founding member of SHIELD. YMMV. As for stuff relating to the other movies, I would love to see some resolution to the dangling Samuel Sterns thread from TIH.

Thu, April 12, 2012
Lincoln - The Nebraska baseball team has changed the start time of its game with the Purdue Boilermakers on Sunday, April 22, from 1:05 p.m. to 12:05 p.m.
Due to the Boilermakers' flight out of Omaha, the game was set at an earlier time to make sure it can be completed.
Make sure to always check the schedule page at Huskers.com for an updated time schedule.
I thought, it is never too early to get a heads up, right?
"See" you guys tomorrow. Game time is 5:35 pm, so I'll be here for most of the game!

You will post your predictions here at the risk of losing nuts. Whatever you post, this is as good as stone, and if your prediction is way off by the end of the season, you get neg reps.
What I'm thinking:
Carmelo: First 30 ppg season of career

Knicks: 52 wins
Amar'e: 17.3 points per game but 8.8 boards on 51%
Felton: 11/7.2
Novak: Tickles twine for 48% from behind the long line

Education department settles school furniture case out of court
30 Nov 2012 14:30 | Bongani Nkosi
Sipho Mgcanyana, chairperson of the school governing body at Mbananga Junior Secondary School in the Eastern Cape, is waiting with bated breath for desks and chairs to arrive at the school.
Mbananga is one of three rural schools the basic education department agreed in court on Thursday it would supply with sufficient furniture before the start of the 2013 school year. Settling out of court in a challenge brought by the Legal Resources Centre (LRC), the department agreed it would deliver furniture to Mbananga, Mpimbo and Sirhuldwini schools before pupils go back to school next year.
An audit on the number of schools in the province currently without desks and chairs will be completed before March, and the department agreed to ensure all such schools have their furniture by end of June. The department will set up a task team to investigate all schools without furniture within the next two weeks.
But Mgcanyana, who was a second applicant in the court case, told the Mail & Guardian he is in the dark about when exactly furniture will be delivered. "I'm at the school right now and there are still no desks. There is nothing at all," Mgcanyana said speaking over phone today.
"I have no idea when they would be delivered. But I hope they will arrive during the December holidays, so that when schools reopen there should be desks."
Pupils at Mbananga have been "sitting on the floor since the school was built", Mgcanyana said. This has led to some pupils getting sick, he added.
In a media statement, Mlingeni Madzodzo, an applicant for parents of learners at Mpimbo Junior Secondary School said: "When the schools receive the furniture our children will start getting a proper education as they won't use their books as seats, and will actually use them. The department has promised us furniture before, but we have faith that this court order will mean that they actually deliver this time."
The LRC represented parents of pupils at Mbananga, Mpimbo and Sirhuldwini schools, as well as the Centre for Child Law, in the application it brought in October. In its court papers the department argued financial constraints prevented it from supplying desks and chairs to every pupil but it was doing its best.
But the court order states that the LRC will return to court if the department fails to supply furniture to all school by June 30 2013. The centre said it would be compelled to return to court for a ruling on "exactly what the state's responsibilities are in terms of providing learners with their Constitutional right to basic education when faced with budgetary constraints".
"We agreed that if the department is unable to provide then we will go back to court," Cameron McConnachie, LRC attorney, said. "It doesn't mean that if the [department] doesn't have enough money they don't have to provide furniture for learners."
But in a province that has been compelled by budget constraints to cut the number of teacher posts next year, McConnachie is aware there are possibilities the centre might have to go to court again.
The Eastern Cape education department announced in September it would shed nearly 4 000 teacher jobs next year, and cited financial constraints for this decision.
The department also has some figures about school furniture backlogs. According to the LRC, a 2011 audit of furniture needs found that over 500 000 pupils lacked desks and chairs and approximately R270-million would be required to reverse the shortages.
Loyiso Pulumani, the Eastern Cape education department's spokesperson, could not be reached for comment.

Increasing Self Confidence Techniques Denver Missouri
When you truly like and love yourself, and building your self-esteem will become easier. You won't drag yourself down or beat yourself up as hard over simple mistakes or for not reaching perfection. When you like yourself, you'll stop trying so hard to get validation and attention from others you will have increased self-esteem. You become less needy and your inner voice has less of an emotional rollercoaster based on what people may think or say about you. Say this to yourself, I am in the process of learning to love and appreciate myself. Repeat this to yourself. This is one of the fastest increased self-esteem exercises ever. Feeling better about yourself has the following side effects: You will be much happier, be able to sleep better and discover the secrets to building your self-esteem. Step out of your comfort zone more easily and readily and do things outside of your comfort zone. You will be a better friend and listener. You will more easily handle the tough times, the challenges that come up in your life and more readily develop a solution mindset. You can increase your self-esteem, eliminate self-sabotage, increase your self-confidence and self-appreciation. You will more easily be able to eliminate excess weight from your body and build self-esteem. Other people like being around you more because there is less drama, less of the fighting and backbiting and you will show them how to build self-esteem too. Those are but a few of the positive side effects of high self-esteem. Notice, there are not any negative side effects worth mentioning. By raising and keeping your energy up you'll know how to build self-esteem. You'll go after the good things in life more often and with more motivation. When you get them then you'll be a lot less likely to self-sabotage in subtle or not so subtle ways. You'll be more attractive in any relationship. And, all of this is attractive in any relationship. Knowing how to build self-esteem will make you happier. The question is: how to build self-esteem in a real-world way? How can you turn years of negative thinking, judgment and angst around? Can this really be done? Can I do this without any specific training in this area? Here are 3 Keys to blowing the lid off the negatives and generating awesome self-esteem.
Does Light Exposure Increase Self Confidence MO
You must quiet the inner negative voice to eliminate self-sabotage. Did you know that 96% of the negative thoughts and beliefs we are thinking don't even belong to us? These were the messages that you received from parents, mentors and even your peers while you were growing up. You were not the originator of these thoughts. When you find yourself thinking, acting or emotionally connected to a negative thought, remember these thoughts have come up so you can eliminate self-sabotage. Do this a couple of times. Ask yourself, do you love yourself unconditionally? Chances are right now it feels heavy or it would not be bothering you. Say to yourself, love yourself unconditionally. Resist getting lost in the story and. You've recited and connected with your positive self-esteem. Yes I can becomes your new thought about yourself. The phrasing is really important here. You don't just want to arbitrarily throw those negative/toxic thoughts around. Love yourself unconditionally. Say that to yourself over and over again, go on a positive rant until you feel it shift, you will feel lighter. Feeling lighter is truth and the heaviness is the lie. If your answer to the question was something else, pause, take three deep breaths and do the exercise again. This exercise is powerful. Open your hands and face your palms up. Allow that negativity to gather in your palms and say to yourself, I release all that does not serve me. Do this three times each. Utilize the power of three. You can repeat this exercise over and over until you feel lighter. When you begin doing this exercise you will love yourself unconditionally. Trust yourself. Follow your own inner guidance and raise your vibration.
How To Increase Your Confidence And Self Esteem Missouri
Take time in the morning to write. This may be a stretch for some of you and I remember when I first began this process it seemed hard, difficult and time consuming. Dumping your thoughts through writing is not a time waster. Writing downloads negative thoughts, writing a stream of consciousness can eliminate self-sabotage. Some people like to buy nice, beautiful journals to eliminate self-sabotage. Here are some key points to remember when writing. Keep the pen moving, if you don't know what to write, write blah blah blah blah or eliminate self-sabotage. Don't think so hard about it. Remember, you can only do this right. Don't judge or even read what is written. Believe me, once these words come out onto the page, you eliminate self-sabotage. A funny thing about morning pages, I have noticed that the more I write them, the better the people in my life behave. Did you read between the lines on that one? Writing makes me feel better, and as I feel better, my energy level is higher and so I have learned self-appreciation. As a direct result, relationships simply become easier because the drama and negativity was down loaded on to the page – never to return. Yes, it is that simple. This takes a little practice at first. Plan for 30 minutes. You might be saying, I can't afford 30 minutes. How important is it to you to eliminate self-sabotage.
Increasing Confidence And Self Esteem Denver
Take a 3-minute self-appreciation break. This is key to self-confidence. Set a reminder on your watch or some other electronic device. Set the timer for 3 minutes. You are going to go on a positive rant. A positive rant about yourself, self-appreciation, about your life, about the people in your life. Some call this a gratitude exercise. This is the part that is different. Shout loudly and proudly to the universe and everywhere all around you, you are going to go on a positive rant and if you can't think of anything else to say, repeat, I am in the process of learning to love and appreciate myself. The importance of this exercise is filling those 3 minutes. Whatever happens, never give up, never give in and absolutely don't quit. This exercise will get easier and easier the more you do it. These short breaks do not only build your self-appreciation and eliminate self-sabotage in the present moment, the now. This exercise works long term, each time you do this exercise, all of the exercises before will build off of each other. What I mean by that is: just like building blocks are used to make something bigger, more solid and structurally sound – that is exactly what happens in your life, with how you feel about yourself. And isn't that what you really want? Aren't you interested in doing whatever it takes whenever it takes in order to crawl out of the hole that is the lack of self-appreciation and feel lighter? Your self-confidence will grow and multiply the more that you do it. Find time once a day in your schedule to repeat I am self-confidant, I have self-appreciation and I eliminate self-sabotage. The question is, how serious are you about raising your own self-confidant and self-appreciation? You know you want that.
