If so, I would love for you to take the Love You Challenge.

- Make him a cup of coffee and bring it to him when he gets out of the shower.
- Leave a post-it in his boxers with a racy message.
- Text him something flirty.
- Take him out to dinner with that gift card that has been in your wallet since 2009.

- Give him a massage.
- Spell out "Love You" with Scrabble tiles.
Tell me what you did (or will do!) for your man here in the comments on the blog, and you will be entered to win one of my six books (I will give away one a day over the next six days.) I'll be picking one winner each day from August 23-28th.
I'm off to make some No=Pudge Brownies for my man.

Change happens, that is for sure,
Change; we dont like it, we fear it, but we cant stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesnt is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes change is everything.
Sometimes people come into our life, and change us even if it's for the moment.

I don't feel really good when my siblings get invitation to someone's house & I don't. But then they were the same people who told my parents they had to invite to their wedding as they invited everyone else in my family.
Anyway, I cannot really be bother cos I have tons of to-do for this weekend!
I am in the midst of a career progression. It's long & complicated…. But this weekend would be a good time for me to draft out a career plan for myself! I also really want to make use of the time to start working on my planner which has finally arrived! It is march soon, so it's time to fill up for MARCH. Most importantly, I have not been minimising due to the holidays. So it is time to start again. My room is STILL not in the stage I am completely happy with. I will not stop until I am satisfied.
1) I'll start with my usual saturday breakfast – cereal and milk.
2) Depending on my mood, I might take a walk and get a local coffee, kopi. If I am lazy, I would probably grab an 3-in-1. After trying a few brands, I still loves Alicafe from Malaysia. I still haven't decide about my Nescafe Dulco Gusto machine. But I believe I need to list out my options!
3) Then, with my cup of coffee, I would probably start my usual round of cleaning, tidying, minimising and writing!
4) When I am done or feel tired, I would take a break and do some research about my careers and do some planning. I have some activities which I would like to start scheduling for March!
5) I am expecting my Erin Condren notebook to be delivered around noon. I will probably spend 30mins to an hour admiring, blogging, taking pictures, writing a bit… and finally, I probably spend 10-15mins surfing EC before I realise I need to get back to WORK.
6) My nieces would probably be here by 3-4pm so I would pause and play with them until dinner.
7) They will probably leave by 6-7pm. Then I will have dinner and go back to WORK. I would continue researching on my careers and do some planning.
8) Finally when I feel tired, I would do some light surfing before bed about Pebble and air-dry clay. I am taking a 3 hours craft class in March. Although it would be a one-to-one session, but I like to read up on the information first!
9) I would work on my research and planning for sunday too.
10) If time permits, I would read Lord Of the Ring.

A group of tourists is visiting Atsonios Sifnos traditional pottery workshop in Tsopos beach close to Vathi village.
Preparation of the clay, formatting of the shape in the wheel, drying to the sun, first baking, glazed in colors and second baking, are ceramics manufacturing main steps.
The electricity consumption is currently, the second largest cost to the production of ceramics after labor costs. The electric wheel consumes enough energy, however nothing can compare with the enormous energy consumption, required by modern electric ovens of angioplasty in order to operate at very high temperatures which are approaching 1000 degrees Celsius.
Today however it is very impressive to considers that the first potteries of the island functioned without electricity! The wheel had a pedal to run, when kilns "baked" ceramics burning wood.
A small journey to the past, back in Sifnos of 1870 is a visit to the beautiful Tsopos beach, where is situated one of the last traditional kilns and workshops on the island.
The ceramic workshop of Atsonios Anthony and his son John, is among the oldest on the island. Recently the old kilns of the workshop, used to operate on timber, were renovated. Nowadays tourists can visit to take a close look of the old, with big historical value, kilns which are kept in their original form with fully functionality.
Individual visitors are welcome to visit inside of the traditional workshop, in order to admire the interior ceiling made of wood, reeds and soil, to produce their own pottery creations on the wheel, to taste Mrs. Mary treats, to examine the old kilns and to see professional potters in action. Groups are also welcome for a guided organized tour to the facilities of Atsonios old and new pottery workshop.

Absence has to be organized: a choreogrpahic workshop on mess but more, what remains.
Start at the table, use the table to put things on. Make sure there are some chairs in case you need to sit. Gather all the things and posture, I mean, position them around you. Create the altar with yourself as central. Broadcast a scenario where your absence is noted. You dreamed of, longed for. I barely recall you. Memorialized. please. don't. disappear.
Using Emily Roysdon's proposition, "what is a transition that is not a solution", this workshop is concerned with making dance and performance at the moment of change. What is that duration? How do we deal or manage in this precarity? What do we hover around, pivot on, flirt with, linger near? Can we measure or archive transformation without rendering it obsolete? When making dance and performance how can content thrive without having to be explained by timing, sequence or the more traditional notions of what dance is and how the body can do it. Does choreographic thought only exist on the human body? We will navigate various tangential thought processes that allow for known forms of organization to dissolve into hybrid systems that we don't yet have names for. Presence will be our starting point and hopefully there will be no way to record where we ended up.
Look at me Don't Look at me
a class structure on improvisation that deals directly with language, the felt, a questioning and a widening of space.
This gathering follows in my research and practice of improvisation, performativity and choreographic thought, allowing for an agenda to build on itself among those who are present. Any score generated is located experientially. The culture of the workshop maintains a dedication to improvisation in all it's glory, there is no goal for a thesis statement. There is no word limit. We can delete our mission statements. We don't have to get to the point. We will honor an interrogation of performance that understands the complexities of being looked at and all the desires and expectations that follow. We will talk a lot. We will improvise with our bodies and we will look at each other There will be no pre determined guidelines for how to speak about what we do together. The work will be to move toward understanding each other. How do we engage and how can we engage with that? What are our systems, considered or not, for organizing information? The politics of organization and desire will be points of departure for the group to access if we need something to stand on. We will consider our bodies as institutions that generate a governing order. This is about tone, qualitative quantity, specificity without narrowing and what the needs are for those who attend. Approaching improvisation as a culture rather than aesthetic or technique, this workshop will locate (dis)organization as both a somatic and political gesture. We will hold information, experience, watch it, talk about and rearrange it. This class will consider improvisation as aggressive as technique, as rigorous as choreography and as expansive as performance is. This will be a space to move toward ideas with our complex bodies. We will follow tangential thought to move away from definition and closer to precision.

Let's say you're in an auto accident in Texas, but the police didn't come to the scene (or they did come but didn't fill out a police report). Now, you want to file a claim against the other driver, but you're worried that without the police report you can't prove the wreck was their fault.
Without a police report, have you lost your chance to file a claim? The answer is no.
Reasons the Police Might Not Have Filed a Report
Though most accidents include a police report, there are several reasons the police might have forgone one.
The Police Weren't There
First and most obviously, you won't get a police report if no one called the police. The number one rule after you've been in an accident is to call 911, even if no one's hurt. It's the only way you'll get a police officer to investigate the wreck and fill out a report.
There Weren't Enough Damages
When an accident does not appear to involve at least $1,000 in damage, the investigating officer can facilitate the exchange of personal and insurance information between drivers and have them complete a Driver's Crash Report (Form CR-2), otherwise known as a blue form that the involved drivers then mail to the Texas Department of Transportation. However, sometimes officers wrongly estimate damages and the true cost of the wreck ends up being more.
No One Was Hurt
As with damages, if no one appears to be hurt the officer might not fill out a report. Again, though, sometimes it days a few hours for injuries to appear (especially in cases of whiplash or pulled muscles).
Why Personal Injury Lawyers Love Police Reports
Police reports are a great tool for personal injury lawyers when we're trying to get a good idea of what happened in a wreck. They contain the contact information and insurance information for everyone involved, they give an official description of the accident and assign fault, and they often indicate how much damage is done to the vehicles involved.
However, you don't need a police report to have a valid injury claim.
If a Police Didn't File a Report, Here's What You Need Instead
The most important thing to do when you're involved in a car crash is to exchange insurance information with the other driver. Make sure you get their full name, the year, make and model of their vehicle, the name of their insurance company, and a policy number. Without a policy number, it can be very difficult to track down an insurance policy, and can be impossible to do so for large insurance companies who insure hundreds of thousands of drivers.
After the accident, if you file a claim with your own insurance and the insurance of the person who hit you, you will receive claim numbers relating to the incident. Bring this information with you when you meet with your attorney. Or, if you haven't started a claim yet, bring the at-fault person's name, insurance company, and policy number with you to the attorney's office.
So remember, while a police report is an invaluable accident investigation tool, don't give up on your injury claim if you don't have one. Injury claims are successfully resolved every day without them.

While VMware may be the biggest player in today's virtualisation market, other vendors pose a threat to its position.
Founder and CEO Larry Ellison isn't shy about poking a needle in VMware's eye. He reportedly predicted that VMware will meet the same demise as Netscape.
Ellison is finalising a deal to purchase BEA Systems, which has a partnership with VMware to provide Java virtualisation products.
That move could foil some VMware plans, though it's not clear yet how Oracle intends to fit BEA into its virtualisation strategy, DiDio says. Oracle is a new entrant into the virtualisation market with Oracle VM, which has advanced features such as live migration, according to DiDio's Yankee Group report.
Oracle, well known for its database and application server products, is targeting VM primarily at heavy Oracle customers, Bittman says. "They're doing it as a defensive move," he says. "They don't want VMware or Microsoft to be underlying the Oracle stack. That takes away potential control of an account. ... Oracle VM does not need to make money. The whole goal is defensive."
Yankee Group analyst George Hamilton agrees Oracle's move is essentially a competitive reaction aimed at maintaining its pre-existing customer base, rather than a bold attempt to expand into new markets.
DiDio thinks Oracle is being more ambitious than that, however. Oracle's acquisition history shows it is an aggressive player in multiple markets, and is not about to pass up the opportunity posed by the rapidly growing virtualiaation space, she says.
"Larry Ellison has been on a shopping spree for the last three years," she says. "Oracle wants to grab off a piece of the virtualisation market."
Virtual Iron
This vendor says it has gotten a big boost from hardware modifications developed by Intel and AMD that make it easier to develop virtualisation software. Virtual Iron always supported Linux because the open source operating system could be rewritten to its purposes. Now it can support Windows as well because of the processor upgrades, explained company CTO Alex Vasilevsky.
Every vendor is benefiting from hardware upgrades, though, Burns notes.
"The question then becomes who can support those changes with the most optimised code or the broadest functionality, or who can convince those chip designers they need to keep doing more," he says. Intel and AMD face a double-edged sword, he notes, as further virtualisation-related improvements in hardware would allow customers to run more workloads on fewer servers.
Virtual Iron's management tools have both live migration and live disaster recovery capabilities, DiDio writes. Bittman rates Virtual Iron as VMware's fifth biggest threat, ahead of Novell and Red Hat, whom he ranks sixth and seventh, respectively.
"Virtual Iron has interesting technology, but as a small vendor it's unlikely to survive," Bittman says. "They'll probably be acquired by somebody."
Small and midsize companies tend to be attracted to Virtual Iron, Hamilton says. "Virtual Iron's go-to-market plan is simple," he says. "They try to position themselves as having very similar capabilities to VMware at a fifth of the cost."

My outlook is sunny – but rainy days could be ahead
When things are going well financially, it is sometimes said "the sun is shining". So-called "rainy day funds" are built during these sunny times to call on when times get tough. Rainy day funds – or emergency savings as they are sometimes known – might be used to cover day-to-day expenses if an individual loses their job or falls ill and is unable to maintain work hours. It might make the difference between keeping up with mortgage payments, for example, or falling behind and growing debt. Having money set aside to call on quickly when needed is a cornerstone of personal finance.
How much money do I need in "rainy day savings"?
Experts tend to recommend building an emergency savings fund of between three and six months of wages. Individual circumstances, such as size of income and financial responsibilities, will determine the exact size.
Save first, spend later
The video tutorial How much should I be saving? explains steps to building a rainy day fund. It can pay to build the savings habit by opening a dedicated rainy day fund account, giving the account a suitable name and then setting up automatic deposits at the start of the pay cycle. The MoneyAware blog from United Kingdom debt advice charity CCCS suggests making cash for a savings fund the first thing set aside. Guest blogger Annie Shaw writes: "That way you'll find it's the little extras that you can't afford at the end of the week, rather than the saving. It's amazing how many of life's apparent 'essentials', such as a meal out or a new jacket, are things you'll never miss."

But the combination owned by this model is unique. Also model 2014 Mazda6 will be displayed at the Chicago Autoshow.
2014 Mazda6 Exterior and Interior
Each vehicle seeking inspiration in something to get your final smoothing. And model 2014 Mazda6 is based on the model of your relatives Takeri in 2011. We will begin immediately with the front of the signature and allocate new vehicles and new grilles and hoods. New hood fits perfectly into the new vehicle line and continues to the side. LED lights with a new design and some call it the halo that is around. This is the first of a wide Mazda production. Colors that mark this Mazda cold flower color.

You have gallery below.
Mazda6 – Engine
Here we come to our favorite part. Somehow the text of the engine and its features is always an interesting topic. The 2014 Mazda6 comes in several variants and one of them produces 184 horsepower engine with a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G. It offers about 11% more torque than the outgoing base engine.There is also a diesel engine 2.2 SJYACTIV-D with two turbochargers. This increases the smoothness in achieving speed range in minutes. Thus the increased fuel consumption and emissions.
2014 Mazda6 – Safety
Safety is the most important man no matter where he was. And the vehicle must be safe. Each vehicle has safety features of classical and accessories that are made for promotion of each vehicle. Antilock brakes is also a benefit, front-seat side airbags, traction and stability control, active front head restraints full length side curtain airbags. Security cameras monitor the cross traffic monitoring as well as the tasks increase occupational safety. Care system that warns of the danger of collision was a breakthrough when it comes to security. Built-in sensors that will notify you of a possible impending danger and possible impact.

News Release: Emory Healthcare , Woodruff Health Sciences
Sep. 6, 2011
Emory Neonatologist Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award from Georgia Hospital Association
ATLANTA - She has cared for thousands of babies during her career, a career dedicated to helping premature and critically ill babies survive, and then thrive. For her years of service and contributions to the field of neonatology, the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) has awarded Emory Healthcare's Ann D. Critz, MD, with the 2011 Lifetime Heroic Achievement Award.
Critz, who is medical director of nurseries and chief of pediatrics at Emory University Hospital Midtown, has been caring for the hospital's smallest patients for more than 30 years. Her early years at Emory were spent working as a neonatologist in the nurseries at Grady Memorial Hospital and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Throughout the years, her knowledge, skill and compassionate nature have saved the lives of so many tiny babies.
"Dr. Critz is a true hero for her long-time work and dedication to improving the health of premature and sick newborns," says Dane Peterson, chief operating officer at Emory University Hospital Midtown. "She is a talented and caring individual who has the respect of so many people that work with her. We are proud of her accomplishments."
"I am honored and touched to receive this special award," says Critz. "But I couldn't do any of it without the support of a great team. Taking care of these sick babies is truly a team effort, and I share this award with everyone who works in the nurseries with me."
Critz, who is also an associate professor of pediatrics at Emory, oversees the hospital's state-of-the-art Level III special care nursery (also known as the neonatal intensive care unit or NICU). Level III nurseries provide the widest variety of advanced care available for premature and sick infants. The present NICU opened in 1981 and currently serves as part of the Emory Regional Perinatal Center, one of six regional perinatal centers in the state of Georgia that takes care of high-risk newborns.
The babies are cared for in a family-centered environment that nurtures the infant-parent bond. Critz believes this to be the most important factor for successful long-term outcomes of these special babies. A large team of nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, nursery support staff, neonatal pharmacologists and physicians provide expert care for these infants.
"Dr. Critz's vision and leadership in operating the special care nursery from a team approach ensures the highest quality of care and comfort for these babies and their families," says John T. Fox, chief executive officer of Emory Healthcare. "This recognition is well deserved."
Critz received her medical degree from the University of Mississippi, and completed an internship and residency in pediatrics at the same university. After practicing general pediatrics for six years, she completed a fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Emory University.
While at Emory, Critz has been instrumental in leading the nurse practitioner program in the NICU. She teaches the nurse practitioners to be compassionate and calm, while being sensitive to parents' needs and wishes for their little ones.
Critz also serves as medical director of the Angel II Neonatal Transport, a mobile neonatal intensive care unit. The high-tech ambulance makes over 600 transports a year throughout North Georgia. On occasion, Dr. Critz goes out on transport calls with the team.
During her career, Critz has seen the field of neonatology grow from a brand new area of interest to a high-tech and ever-flourishing specialty area. Each day she comes to work, she says she and her team witness something new in the nursery. "It's exciting, fun and 'an adrenaline rush' every day, and I'm so happy to be a part of it," says Critz.
The GHA will hold a ceremony in December to honor Critz and other GHA Hospital Heroes recipients.
The Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center of Emory University is an academic health science and service center focused on missions of teaching, research, health care and public service.

On 26th March 2018, BBA students at SP Jain's Mumbai campus got an opportunity to have an interactive session with Emily Menon (Founder and Executive Director - Innovaid Advisory Services) and Nidhi Pathak (Communications Manager - Ambuja Cement Foundation). The session was organised by Prof Shrinivas for the students to learn and understand all about corporate reputation & purpose, corporate social responsibility, and stakeholder engagement.
During the session, students looked at the importance of maintaining a good reputation, different stakeholders that a firm has, and why firms should care for their reputation. To round up the corporate reputation topic, the class did an exercise of Identifying companies who have a bad reputation with investors, customers, suppliers, employees, regulators, politicians, nongovernmental organizations and communities. The second topic was corporate social responsibility, and after defining CSR (minimising negative impacts and maximising positive impacts), students measured the impact that CSR has on the planet, the people and on profit. Key components of CSR were studied (Community, Environment and Marketplace).
To conclude the topic, a video of how Ambuja Cement was taking CSR into consideration and impacting surrounding communities was shown in the class, followed by a discussion of stakeholder engagement.
"I did not know that a firm's reputation mattered as much as I learned today, it can make or break the whole firm. Also, I enjoyed learning how big an impact firms can have on people and on our planet" -Anjana Nair, Student, BBA

- History & Memorable Moments
Miamisburg High School was built in 1972 and originally featured the controversial but then-popular open plan concept with three classroom pods forming a triangle around a center core and a huge 16,000 sf commons area, the largest "room" in the Miamisburg school district. The academic pods were completely reprogrammed to follow a more traditional layout within just a few years and received its first addition in 1980. This 42,000 square foot expansion included a modern, 32,000 sf two-story gymnasium complex, locker rooms and fine arts classrooms. In 1982, a 16,000 sf classroom wing was added which gave the school 16 more classrooms. Rounding out these expansions to the facility is a modern, 29,000 square foot, two-story, glass and brick addition put on the front of Miamisburg High School in 1993. This new classroom wing includes 21 classrooms, new administrative suites, a third teachers lounge, 5 science labs and a stunning, natural light-flooded, glass-encased Atrium which acts as a student commons area and a main entrance hall. The school encompasses 186,375 square feet of floor space and has a 100% capacity mark set at 1,372 students. The school currently has over 1,600. There have been many high schools in Miamisburg but they have all been abandoned, relocated, or torn down. Miamisburg City Schools had plans to build a new, 2000-student comprehensive high school but voters turned down the idea for many years forcing the distrcit to scrap their plans. Throughout the 2000s the high school has been faced with many overcrowding problems. On November 14, 2007 the Miamisburg School Board announced its plans to expand the high school once again in the form of a 45,000 square foot addition(s) and an extrememly-extensive renovation of the existing facility. The addition is set to include another gymnasium, 15-20 classrooms, a new "cafetorium", and possibly a new media center. This could possibly open as soon as the 2010-2011 school year. [1]

Freestyle Friday/Self Help for Pretty Girls Part Two
Happy Friday! If your week was hectic and chaotic you may have been wondering like me, if you'd make it through at all. Well, just call me the Friday Fairy and deliverer of good news that you can now rest assured, as you have surely arrived. In honor of our having made it to Friday, I am free-styling it today. Free-styling my clothing, my thinking, my writing, that's right, the whole 9. Now, just for a moment, let's think about how much power and liberty the word "Free" contains.
Not imprisoned or enslaved; being at liberty. Not controlled by obligation or the will of another, Not affected or restricted by a given condition or circumstance, Unobstructed; clear, open; frank. To relieve of a burden, obligation, or restraint.
I absolutely love this word. I have found freedom in my relationship with God, freedom in my life and the choices I've made, finally, freedom in being me. If you are bound by disorganization and reckless chatter, freedom will be hard to achieve. However, if you develop or even borrow your own set of Me-isms to help you gain your freedom, you will be well on your way. Since it's Friday, I've looked into the archives and wanted to share these things with you.
Rule #6 for maintaining a healthy you from the inside out. Loyalty: not only should you have a sense of loyalty to someone, you must also be loyal to yourself. Don't be so quick to let other's definitions of you make you betray your self. You are a viable human being, and giving up is disloyalty against oneself. Stay true and loyal to yourself first, and then to others, this way you are being the most authentic you can be.
Rule #7 for maintaining a healthy you from the inside out. Happiness starts from within. You should never expect another to make you happy, nor blame them for your unhappiness. Set a vision for yourself, then stop at nothing to achieve it. Keep self- motivated, looking towards the most important parts of you. Happiness is a state of mind, that you can achieve mainly because, it resides inside of you.
Rule #8 for maintaining a healthy you from the inside out
Don't limit yourself in what it is that you can achieve in this life. Never tell yourself you can't, because you can. Write a vision of what you truly want, believe that it's achievable, and watch it come to fruition. Believe it.
Rule #9 for maintaining a healthy you from the inside out. Freedom- Don't be bound by society, family, or others idea of who you should be. When you are true to yourself, you will inhabit the ability to be free. Some of us have no idea what it's like to truly be free. Look first to your higher power and gain the strength needed to free yourself. Don't be afraid, for those who truly love you, will accept you for who you are. When you remain true to yourself, you will be set free. This is when your best you will bloom and grow wild in the state of being free.
As always I pray that everyone will have an awesome and safe weekend!
Peace and blessings!

Senator Adeleke's family threatens legal action over autopsy report
The family of the late senator, Isiaka Adeleke, says it will consider all legal options against the Chief Medical Director of Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Dr. Akeem Lasisi, over the autopsy result conducted on the late politician.
Mr.Deji Adeleke, the younger brother of the deceased, told journalists on Wednesday in Ede that the family had not received the autopsy result and would not speculate on its contents.
Adeleke, however, said the family was worried over the statement credited to Lasisi at the coroner inquest that the lawmaker died as a result of overdose of a banned injection when the result of the autopsy was yet to be delivered to the family.
"We state that as at now, the family has not received the autopsy report and the family will not engage in speculations over its contents," Adeleke said.
"However, it has come to the knowledge of the family that the LAUTECH CMD on May 15 appeared before the kangaroo inquest set up by the state government and gave evidence of the cause of Isiaka Adeleke's death when neither the family had been briefed nor the autopsy report released. "
Adeleke said when the family requested the autopsy result from the CMD on May 9, he confirmed that it was ready and that a copy of the result had been given to the Osun Police Command and the Chief Pathologist at LAUTECH.
The family, he said, queried the CMD for releasing a copy of the result to the police without giving same to the family.
Adeleke said Lasisi later promised to send a copy of the result to the family on May 15.
"The family later called the CMD to remind him of the autopsy result as promised but he changed the story again, saying the report was not ready.
"When the family asked him when the report would be ready, he responded that it would be ready 'as soon as possible'," he said.
Adeleke said unknown to the family, the CMD had already appeared and testified before the coroner inquest the same day.
In his reaction, Lasisi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the autopsy report was not with him.
Lasisi said he acted within the law to have testified at the coroner inquest, adding that he did not claim to have seen the result.
"I don't have the result with me and the only person that can give the result is the pathologist.
"Maybe, they are talking out of ignorance because I don't have the result," he said.
Lasisi said he was only an administrator of the hospital and not a pathologist.
"I am a surgeon and administrator of the hospital, so the person who writes the result is the pathologist.
"I have told the Minister of Health as well that I don't have the result.
"As I am talking to you, I have not set my eyes on the result," he said.
NAN recalls that Lasisi on Monday appeared before the coroner inquest set up by the state government and gave evidence that the deceased died as a result of overdose from a banned injection.
Gov. Rauf Aregbesola on May 2 signed an executive order setting up a coroner inquest into the death of Adeleke.
Adeleke, 62, who died on April 23, was representing Osun West Senatorial District at the Senate under the platform of All Progressives Congress.

Christ is King Ministries- Mission : : To Educate, Edify & Empower Through the Word of God
Sharing Jesus with other people is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. The answer to the world's needs is Jesus Christ, and God has chosen you and me to reach the lost. According to Acts 1:8, every one of us is to be a witness to the lost. We are the human instruments through which Christ reaches them. Jesus can save and heal, but He needs our voices and our lives to spread the Good News.
There are two key ways we can inspire others to search for Jesus, and with God's help, we can do both.
First, our own lives are a witness to others that Jesus is Lord and Savior. The way we speak and act and live our lives is a powerful way to show that faith works and that Jesus is alive. Our obedience to God, our positive words, and our good attitudes make us stand out in a world filled with darkness. When we love others, sharing a kind act or encouraging word, we help others to draw near to Jesus.
Second, we can share the Gospel with others. Here are some suggestions to help you tell people about Jesus: Tell people what God has done for you. T he Great Commission of Mark 16:15 gives you great authority. When Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature," He was expressing His great faith in your ability to share Him with those around you. Ask God to help you be successful when you share the Gospel. Use your personal testimony to show people how Jesus made a difference in your life. Have compassion in dealing with the needs of others.
Jesus was always moved with compassion when He saw people's needs (Matthew 14:14). And He is still moved by compassion. Let people know that God loves them. He doesn't want to see them suffering, sick, discouraged, and lost in sin. Pay attention to what people need, and help them see how those needs are met in Jesus. Help people understand their need for a Savior, and the love and grace God offers. Romans 3:23 tells us that all of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
John 3:16 NKJV says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." And John 1:12 NKJV says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." Encourage people to make a decision for Christ.
Don't put the decision-making off until later. Offer to pray with them right then. Jesus is the only way to heaven and to God. Today is the day of salvation (II Corinthians 6:2). Have them repeat this prayer, or a similar one, after you:
Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died for my sins. I believe You rose from the dead. And now, I ask You to come into my heart. I repent of my sins. I turn my back on the past. I renounce the devil and all of his works. Please forgive me and give me a fresh, new start. I ask You to be my personal Lord and Savior, and I thank You for coming into my life and saving my soul. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

I recently placed my annual Girl Scout cookie order, a day I look FAR too forward to each year.
And while I was sitting there debating so many good choices — Oh, the agony! — it got me thinking. Which Girl Scout cookie really is the most popular?
Turns out it's not even close.
According to a new Good Morning America/SodaHead.com poll, Thin Mints ran away from the competition with 49% of the vote. My personal favorites, Samoas and Tagalongs, came in second and third — at 28% and 11%, respectively — followed by Do-Si-Dos and Trefoils, both at 6%.
So what's yours? And, more importantly, just how many boxes did you order??

My sewing machine, from my Memere, and I have been having a bit of a dispute lately. I want it to work, it doesn't. As I was sewing burp cloths this weekend for my Etsy store, the tension kept messing up and snapping my string. Finally, after 2 hours – and 2 burp cloths later, I started looking at new machines online. I'm pretty sure my Memere was looking down and laughing at me in stitches (pun intended).
Then Mr. A popped in my head. He was outside cutting down trees (later post this week), but there was no way I could save face buying a new machine if I didn't even TRY to fix mine. Luckily I grew up with a seamstress, who may or may not have come downstairs to a disassembled sewing machine more than once.
Mr. A walked in to see this, and was slightly concerned. I'm not the fixer around here if it has an engine. Normally I'm the breaker. I contest that I actually broke this versus it being over 30 years old, but I sure as heck knew how to take it apart and fix at least some of it.
You see that tension knob, with the numbers? When I took that off, there were 2 more pieces than the blown out schematic showed. In the words of scooby doo – Ruh Roh. Why were they there? What was the purpose, and where do I put them back?
Well, you don't put them back. I concluded they were part of the issue since they weren't in the original schematic. I concluded wrong of course, but it didn't hurt anything. Once I cleaned, tweaked, pried and sat back to scratch the noggin, I managed to get the tension working. I use the word tension loosely (no pun intended). Yes I put the number cap back on, no it's not in the right order, but hey – it's working.
So at the end of a long battle, I have come out on top. For now. I have six burp clothes in my stack to put up for sale. Thankfully two of them on Sunday took only about 20 minutes to make from start to finish, including one or two minor tension problems, so that's not too bad.
Oh, and in the middle of this all Mr. A brought me in these. They are from his mothers plants we brought home after she sold her house. I love him.
Happy Stitching, Fixing and Laughing,

People like Warren Buffett have made substantial profits from smart long term investing. Just how many years are required to make an investment long term? We can get a hint from the so-called Oracle of Omaha who says that he cannot outguess the market in the short term but has a pretty good idea of what will sell well ten years hence. Thus we should not be surprised when Market Watch says long run for investing is longer than you think.

Making sense of the NHL's new uniforms - what's changed, what's the sameNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Black is the new green in Dallas, what's old is new again in Washington, and it's yet another change in Vancouver.
All 30 NHL teams will be wearing the new Reebok Edge jerseys when the 2007-08 season starts later this week, but the Stars, Capitals and Canucks stand out as the teams with the most changed looks.
San Jose, Ottawa and Tampa have also made alterations to their logos while the Columbus Blue Jackets decided to adopt the logo from their former third jerseys.
Every NHL team will wear only two jerseys this year - a dark one at home, and a white one on the road. Eighteen of the 30 NHL teams used at least three different jerseys last year (Edmonton had four).
The Canucks new design has probably been the most heavily discussed. Their new jersey features the team's original blue, green and white colours and has the word "Vancouver" written on the chest above the orca symbol the Canucks have used since 1997.
Many fans were disappointed with the new design, especially because Vancouver has had four totally different looks in less than 40 years in the league and has experimented with various alternate jerseys in recent years.
However, the players have been supportive of the uniform.
"When I first heard about the 'Vancouver' across the jersey I was a little skeptical but after seeing it, it looks good," said Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa.
Indeed, an initial outcry does not necessarily mean a new design will ultimately be a failure.
Prior to last season, Buffalo Sabres fans were raging after the release of a jersey redesign. The uniform ended up being among the best selling in the league and is now being emulated by other teams.
The Sabres were the first NHL team to have numbers on the front of their jersey in more than 50 years when they did it last season. The Dallas Stars, New York Islanders and San Jose Sharks have joined them this year.
The Stars new home jersey is sharp. It's all black with white and gold striping on the sleeves and "Dallas" written in strong lettering across the front. Each player's number is displayed beneath the logo.
"I really like the black," Stars captain Brenden Morrow said when the jersey was released. "It's intimidating, and I think a group of 20 of us in these uniforms, it's going to be a strong feeling of unity."
In Washington, Alex Ovechkin will now be wearing a uniform that will remind Caps fans of days gone by. The team has returned to its traditional white, red and blue colours and logo featuring the 't' in "Washington" as a hockey stick.
The Rbk Edge uniforms are made of more modern material that makes them lighter, cooler, slightly tighter, more stretchable and more water-resistant.
They took more than two years to develop and were first unveiled at last year's all-star game. Players, including Reebok-sponsored Sidney Crosby, gave plenty of feedback during their development.
Complaints about them during the pre-season have mostly been limited to tough guys, who have found the jerseys tough to grip during fights. Some have also had them rip.
But overall the player feedback has been very good.
"We're very happy with what we have," said Brian Jennings, the NHL's vice-president of marketing. "It's just about impossible to get more than 700 people exactly on the same page on anything."
All 29 American Hockey League teams will also be using the new jerseys for their home (white) and away (dark) designs. AHL teams can wear alternate jerseys, but they will not be Rbk Edge.
Every NHL team had the opportunity to revamp its jersey design, but only a handful made sweeping changes. Several teams have made minor tweaks like adding or removing stripes.
Among the Original Six franchises, Boston and Toronto will be sporting the most different looks. The Bruins have reverted back to bolder-looking B on the front of the jersey and added a shoulder patch of a Bruin that was formally part of the team's crest in the 1920s.
The Maple Leafs removed the stripes from the bottom of their jersey along with both shoulder patches, which has left some suggesting the simple uniform looks like something that is more appropriate for practice.
In Ottawa, the Stanley Cup finalists tweaked their Trojan logo to make it look stronger and less cartoonish. The new jerseys also feature a brighter red.
Senators centre Jason Spezza is among those who likes the new jerseys he's seen around the league.
"I'm a big fan of them," he said. "I think they're pretty nice. I like the way they're cut a little tighter. The materials are better and I like the sleeker look throughout the league.
"It's going to take a little bit of time for traditionalists to kind of warm up to but I like the way they've gone with them."
Besides, this was not solely an exercise in aesthetics.
Testing has shown that the jerseys are 14 per cent lighter, cause nine per cent less drag and can keep players cooler.
"The focus on this was never about fashion, it was never about retail," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told The Canadian Press earlier this year. "It was about getting the players into a uniform that would be better."

A new paper from the ChallenGen team entitled "DNA barcoding the phyllosoma of Scyllarides squammosus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) (Decapoda: Achelata: Scyllaridae)" has been recently published in the JCR journal Zootaxa.
|As shown by their fierce-looking mouthparts, phyllosoma larvae rank high on the planktonic food-chain as specialized predators. Luckily for us, they generally do not grow above a few centimeters in total length!
Furthermore, this new paper represents the first contribution of Rebeca Genis-Armero, a MSc. student recently graduated from the University of Valencia and a name to keep in mind for the future of scientific drawing and phyllosoma larvae.

MRCI Welcomes NERA Campaign To Protect Rights of Domestic Workers
The Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI) welcomes the decision by the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) to begin a targeted campaign of inspections of private homes and monitor working conditions of domestic workers. The initiative gives formal recognition to the fact that the private home can also be a workplace, and that domestic workers need the full protection of the law and to have their rights monitored and enforced.
MRCI has been advocating for the rights of domestic workers for nearly ten years, drawing attention to their particular vulnerability, and highlighting the need for inspections of private homes to ensure the enforcement of their employment rights.
According to Siobhán O'Donoghue, MRCI's Director, 'in our experience, domestic workers are consistently told that they do not have the same rights and entitlements as other workers because their workplace is the private home, when in fact they have the same rights under Irish Law as employees in other sectors.'
MRCI established a Domestic Workers Action Group (DWAG) in 2003 to respond to the high levels of exploitation identified in this sector of employment. This is a welcome victory for the Group, who have been campaigning for better protections for domestic workers, and actively calling on NERA to begin inspections in the sector for the last 18 months. It sends out a clear message to employers that the exploitation of workers in this sector is unacceptable.
Hilda Regaspi, spokesperson for DWAG, says the isolation experienced by migrants working in their employer's home is a major problem; 'Until now, the Irish authorities did not inspect employers who have domestic workers living and working in their homes, so it has been very difficult to identify when exploitation is taking place. These are exactly the high-risk situations where vulnerable workers can face abuse, so this move by NERA to inspect private homes is very welcome.'
However Ms O'Donoghue added, "In order to ensure this campaign is effective it must be clearly communicated to the public, so that all employers are aware of their responsibilities, and take steps to ensure they are fully compliant with their obligations."
This news comes at a time when the issue of rights for domestic workers is being discussed internationally, at the International Labour Organisation (ILO). At present, there is support for a legally-binding international ILO Convention for June 2011. This would provide specific legislation to protect the millions of women and girls working in the sector across the globe. MRCI urges the government to follow in this spirit by committing to supporting a strong ILO Convention to protect the rights of domestic workers globally.

TRANSFER VIDEO: Man Utd eye £25m swoop, Arsenal agree fee for Khedira, Chelsea want Stones
MANCHESTER UNITED'S move for Juventus star Arturo Vidal hangs in the balance, with new boss Louis Van Gaal set to turn his attentions to Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman. Everton defender John Stones is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. The Gunners are closing in on a deal for Germany World Cup winner Sami Khedira, while new Chelsea striker Diego Costa has warned Fernando Torres that he is ready to fight him for a starting spot at Stamford Bridge.
The Gossip
Manchester United are yet to agree a fee with Juventus for midfielder Arturo Vidal - leaving a possible switch in the balance.
New United boss Louis Van Gaal instructed executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to sign the Chile World Cup ace.
Juventus want at least £35m for Vidal, while United value him closer to £25m.
If Van Gaal is unable to clinch a deal for Vidal, he will turn his attentions to Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman.
The Dutchman is currently recovering from a knee injury suffered in March, but is making good progress in his rehabilitation.
Van Gaal is thought to be keen on bringing £25m-rated Strootman to Old Trafford and will wait until January to splash the cash.
Everton starlet John Stones is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Stones was an outstanding performer for the Toffees last season and was rewarded with a call-up to England's preliminary World Cup squad.
He was not selected in Roy Hodgson's final 23-man squad, but, despite this, Everton look set to face a battle to keep him at Goodison Park this summer.
Everton are considering a £14m move for Sevilla hot-shot Carlos Bacca.
Manager Roberto Martinez will move for Bacca if he fails in his pursuit to re-sign Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku.
Arsenal have agreed a £20m fee with Real Madrid for Germany midfielder Sami Khedira.
The World Cup winner, who has also attracted the attention of Chelsea, is understood to have already discussed life at Arsenal with Gunners and Germany stars Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski.
Arsenal are also closing in on the signing of Colombia World Cup star David Ospina.
The Gunners have agreed a £3.2m with the goalkeeper's current club Nice.
Manager Arsene Wenger has been in the market for a stopper to challenge No.1 Wojciech Szczesny, having allowed Lukasz Fabianski join Swansea and Emiliano Viviano move to Palermo.
Southampton have offered striker Jay Rodriguez a new five-year deal to fend off interest from Liverpool and Tottenham.
The Saints have already allowed Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw to leave the club and are keen for Rodriguez not to follow suit.
Former Arsenal and Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole claims British players are too scared to play abroad.
Cole joined Italian club Roma yesterday after agreeing a two-year deal with the Serie A runners-up.
And finally Diego Costa has warned Fernando Torres he is ready to fire the goals to keep him out of the team.
Costa completed his £32m switch to Stamford Bridge yesterday, penning a five-year deal.

High Five: February
February 15, 2013 / High Five—
By Alex Reeves
Our favourite commercials this month are a bit cinematic. Grab some popcorn.
We've made it out of January feeling all shiny and new, obviously having stuck to our New Years' resolutions to the letter. The advertising is upbeat and positive and we're generally feeling like 2013 is going to be the year it all comes together. We've been spoilt for choice when it comes to quality advertising too – the industry seems to be starting the year as they mean to go on. It's all very inspiring. We're just hoping clients have some money left for the rest of the year.

Virgin Atlantic, Flying in the Face of Ordinary
Directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet, Partizan
It's hard to pull off glossy without seeming pompous, but somehow Virgin Atlantic ads manage it every time. As the travel sector cashes in on the dreariness of January we've been swamped by cut-price holiday commercials with breathy voiceovers; we don't normally get slick two-minute X-Men trailers that turn out to be advertising flights. So when a brand has the audacity to put one out, we pay attention.

It's all too easy to compare this campaign to its catchy-yet-infuriating competitors – the meerkats and their comrades. But not only is this less annoying, it's also built on the clever promise of making us feel "epic", which roughly translates as "smug". The Glue Society have completely nailed that The Top Gun/Apollo 13 feel here, too, rounding off a neat piece of work that ticks a lot of boxes.

Astronauts seem to be in vogue. Like the MoneySupermarket commercial, this ad is just so Hollywood. Explosions and Die Hard-grade action all over the place. Lynx have a pretty impressive track record for delivering both visual spectacles and blokey comedy and this ad justifies their reputation. Its tone is spot on. Gone are the beer-and-pizza, Nuts magazine days of lad culture. These days Lynx's alpha male has a PhD in astrophysics and a radiation-proof suit.

Guardian, Own the Weekend
Directed by Tim Godsall, Biscuit Filmworks
Another gem from the BBH/Biscuit Filmworks partnership and another ad that borrows from the Hollywood we know and (occasionally) love to get laughs. It's good to know that the Guardian can take the piss out of themselves (that couple are well-observed caricatures of the paper's readership) although the dystopian future it shows us does have a worrying hint of prophecy to it. Hugh Grant might be an unnecessary evil, but we suppose he's relatively harmless.

The women in the office have confirmed that this works for them. This gent's not quite an astronaut (in fact, on the basis of this little sketch, he seems a bit of a dullard) but he's certainly easy on the eye. It's a resurrected classic with all the ready-made hype that comes with that and with Rocky Morton directing it's a suitably vivid objectification of the male form. And what a form it is.

Having attended SENG, the Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted conference in Milwaukee this month, I met some wonderful people and had a delightful experience working with a variety of bright young students. One workshop was a small group of girls that had insightful questions going beyond most group discussions about the folding. They posed some interesting questions and observations that relate to previous blogs. I would like to share some of this with you.
After discussing properties of the circle (five congruent circles) I ask the group to fold the circle once. They asked how, did I mean in half or… 'I said just one fold, your choice.' Most folded the circle in half, the others folded less than half.
half fold examples of less than half folds
The reasons they gave for folding in half were pretty much the same; that is just how you fold a circle, or it seems like the right way. When asking those that folded less than half, there were three different responses; a) thinking about it and choosing to make the circle more interesting, b) emotionally feeling comfortable with the unequal division where part of the circle was held or embraced by the rest of the circle, and c) to make a display of being different by setting oneself apart and with the fear of being tricked in some way by what was being asked. Here are three fundamentally approaches to folding the circle resulting in less than half a fold. If we feel less then we fold less.
We talked about symmetry that comes from the alignment by folding in half, showing consistency of the circle boundary to itself. Folding less than half there is no line of symmetry, it is out-of-balance, without consistency, misaligned, and partial. (ref. http://wholemovement.com/blog/itemlist/date/2010/8?catid=140)
Each of us in our own unique way is individually different from each other and being different we do not need to make a display of it or try to convince others of our difference. We only need to work towards our own potential and capacity to reveal the value of that difference. By observing and paying more attention to others we notice and give value to the fact that we are all different. To the extent that we acknowledge that in others will we find strength in the uniqueness of ourselves; this is what we have to give each other.
The question came up about how to get back in balance if you feel out of balance, not in alignment with everyone else. In feeling your ideas are right and everyone thinks you're wrong how do you figure out if your right or not? What laws or rules are there to know how to do this? Good questions from 11-12 year old people. There are no laws or rules for this, it is individual and maybe is more about principles, (ref. http://wholemovement.com/blog/itemlist/date/2010/4?catid=140) We talked about what principles might be, going back to what happens first in the circle, the qualities of that first fold. Folding in half is principled to all subsiquent folding, less than half is not. Going back to our own beginning we find the development of structurally patterned division in a fertilized ovum, demonstrated using four tennis balls in closest packing order. Further back towards origin before we got here reveals what applies to everyone without exception. The purpose and functions of unity that comes first is what holds differences together. We see it in the circle, not so easy in our lives.
Where does the circle come from beyond the conceptual image? How much more is the circle beyond what we are told? How much more are we than what we are told? In thinking about some of these ideas I realized we missed an important aspect to this discussion about alignment.
The two points on the circumference of the less than half chord represent the limitation of the folder to move across the entire circle. Folding circles is about touching two points together. By fully acknowledging the limited fold by bringing together the two points and creasing, the precessional results realign the circle to itself establishing balance and symmetry. This demonstrates the mechanics of realignment from any possible amount of out-of-alignment. Each diameter is a direct result of a uniquely individual choice both for folding in half and for less than half folding.
Alinging any chord less than half
Folding from out of balance to a balanced proportion reveals information about the first fold; touching any two points on the circumference will fold the circle in half. Bringing together and touching the furthest points of a limited fold demonstrates realignment to the boundaries of the full circle. Everyone folds a different line of symmetry whether on the first fold or there after. No two people will chose the same two points. We all have similar limitations with differently proportioned combinations. Even with a symmetrical fold the diameter is unique from the infinite possibilities.
The refolded circle on the 2-D plane shows five points of intersection on the circle plane, a reflections of the properties of the unfolded circle. Connecting the four points with a line show a uniquely proportioned kite shape from which there is a tremendous amount of information not visible before the fold. (ref. http://wholemovement.com/blog/itemlist/date/2010/6?catid=140) We miss much because we do not see everything we do. We are taught to look at what we have done, and what others have done, thus miss information in the moment of doing for ourselves.
Any two points on the circumference when joined form four points, two tetrahedra
Here we see the same thing happening when touching any two marked points on the circumference, usually we do not mark points when folding. When this kite is lifted from the flat plane on the diameter/axis dual tetrahedra are formed, a pattern of movement in two opposite directions, each has two open planes and two solid planes. This eventual leads to folding the tetrahedron "solid" (ref. http://wholemovement.com/how-to-fold-circles) and how it is used to generates the other regular polyhedra. When adding the six relationships to the four points we get the number pattern of ten for the tetrahedron, the same we observed in the closest packing of four spheres. The five points on the flat plane is in balance between spherical movement to both sides forming two opposite tetrahedra, one inside out of the other. There are many other connections we did not have time to go into.
When folding the tetrahedron, one student asked if we could make a tetrahedron from the less than half fold. I left that question with them to discover for themselves because of time limition. (http://wholemovement.com/blog/itemlist/date/2010/8?catid=140)
We use the circle in limited ways without understanding the potential and unlimited capacity of unity in circle form. In the same way we have a limited view to our own capacity and potential of what we are becoming. Just as with the first fold in the circle, we are directed through purpose; thinking we can improve on what is already in place, by looking for emotional comfort in the parts, and reacting with fear and distrust, thus missing the value and what is inherently principled. Less than half is not wrong, but it does cause misalignment creating an off balance. In order to progress towards greater stability, we need to know what is principle to achieve alignment enlarging our context and giving purpose to what we do. Even from a relavtively balanced position we miss information in the folding experience to fully advantage ourselves from what we have done, thus the danger of falling further out of alignment. The circle shows the possibility for realignment at any time using any chord less than half.
All people are gifted in different ways and all of us have emotional needs and fears. As our unique gifts are acknowledged and supported by others, our needs are then met in positive ways, our fears are soothed and we can trust more. There are often deep underlying differences when you move towards the outer boundary on both end of the spectrum seeing both inabilities and super-abilities that do not fit what society is willing to accept, especially in public education. Every culture draws narrow boundaries on what is acceptable, making it individually difficult for everybody.
What we demonstrated in a short time in this workshop is the circle is much more than what we have been told it is, and we discovered we are much more than what we are told. Our job is to look beyond what we are told and to observe what is.

In her first speech since the Taliban in Pakistan tried to kill her for advocating education for girls, Malala Yousafzai celebrated her 16th birthday on Friday at the United Nations, appealing for compulsory free schooling for all children.
Wearing a pink head scarf which had belonged to the murdered Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto - the country's first female Prime Minister - Yousafzai told UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and nearly 1,000 students from around the world attending a Youth Assembly at UN headquarters in New York that education was the only way to improve lives.
"On the 9th of October 2012, the Taliban shot me on the left side of my forehead. They shot my friends too. They thought that the bullet would silence us.
"But they failed.
"And out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, courage and power was born," she said.

Stop All Junk Mail
By Sun
Do you get a lot of junks, such as catalogs, coupon books, and pre-approved credit card offers, in the mail?
According to 41pounds.org, the average adult in this country receives 41 pounds of unwanted junk mail each year. That's a lot of junk mail!
In the May issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance, the magazine listed several ways to stop the junk mail for good, including both free and paid service.
Free Services
DMAChoice.org is Direct Marketing Association's consumer information site. At DMAChoice, you can register to get your name removed from mailing lists, email lists, and telemarketing lists. To register, you can choose either to finish the process online or by mail, but that will cost you $1. The online registration process is quite simple, taking only a couple of minutes, and it also allows you to create an account so you can change your preference later.
After creating an account by providing name, address, user name, and password (DMAChoice will send your a confirmation email for using their Mail Preference Service) , you can set your preference on what to receive and what not, including
- Catalog Option
- Opt-In/Out of other Mail Offers
- Opt-Out of All Mailing
For the Catalog Option, you will need to provide the name of the catalog that you don't wish to receive. And for both the Mail Offers and All Mailing option, a valid credit card is needed in order to complete the process online, though it's only for verification purpose and you won't be charge. There's a By Mail option, but, again, there's a $1 fee.
Alternatively, you can also opt-out of receiving unwanted catalogs at CatalogChoice.org. The registration is straightforward, and once registered, (confirmation needed as well) you can browse thourgh a list of catalogs to find the exact name of the catalog you don't want any more. I found this option better than that of DMAChoice (of course, if you are receiving catalogs you don't need, you know the name already )
And what's better of CataLogChoice is it allows users to expand their database. If you have a catalog that isn't in their database, you can suggest it to them so people later on can find it.
The service at CatalogChoice is also free.
OptOutPreScreen.com is the official website of the Consumer Credit Reporting Industry (companies such as Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion). At OptOutPreScreen.com, you can
- Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers for Five Years;
- Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers permanently;
- Opt-In and be eligible to receive Firm Offers;
There's no additional cost to opt-out, but you do need to provide personal information such as social security number and date of birth, and name and address of course, in order to complete the process.
Paid Services
The above services are basically free (except the $1 fee DMAChoice charges for mail-in registration). There are, however, a couple of other sits offer similar service, but charge a small amount of fee that is used for non-profit activities. For example, GreenDimes.com has a Premium service for $20 that will remove your name from more than two dozen junk mail lists and stop catalogs that yo don't want to receive. Additional services also include monthly monitoring of your account to make sure your names stay off the lists and quarterly reports with details on the progress in reducing your junk mail. Plus, they will plant 5 trees on your behalf! CreenDimes also has a fee-free version that's quite similar to the above services (opt-out junk mail lists and catalogs). Not only the service is free, GreenDimes will actually pay you $1 for protecting the environment by eliminating junk mail! Pretty cool
Another paid service is from 41Pounds.org. 41Pounds charges $41 to stop junk mail from reaching your mailbox, but, according to the site, 1/3 of the fee it collected will be donated to environmental or community groups at your choice.
