In addition, Princeton and Shelby received recognition for their accomplishments in stroke. Princeton also received recognition for its accomplishment in immunization, and Walker received recognition in VTE.
To be a 2014 Top Performer, hospitals had to meet three performance criteria based on 2014 accountability measure data, including:
"Delivering the right treatment in the right way at the right time is a cornerstone of high-quality health care. I commend the efforts of Shelby, Walker and Princeton Baptist Medical Centers for their excellent performance on the use of evidence-based interventions," said Mark R.

This is a bit of a turnaround. Dogged frequently by questions over much of the past year or so regarding when we will see a follow-up to "Mad Max: Fury Road," filmmaker George Miller has previously indicated that while one is in very early development he wants to take a break first.
There's been murmurs that someone else might take over as director of the franchise, and more recently Miller has suggested he might potentially do something much smaller and quicker first and would only then return for the next 'Max'.
Now it seems there's been a change of tune as Page Six today has published a quote indicating Miller is pretty much done with the franchise – and if it were to go ahead he certainly would be taking a back seat:
"I won't make more 'Mad Max' movies. 'Fury Road' with Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Riley Keough was forever getting completed. If you finish one in a year, it's considered a leap of faith. Start, stop, start again.
I've shot in Australia in a field of wild flowers and flat red earth when it rained heavily forever. We had to wait 18 months and every return to the US was 27 hours. Those 'Mad Maxes' take forever. I won't do those anymore."
Should Warners proceed without him at the helm, would they use the work already done by Miller on the next one or would they choose a reboot option?

[the me that you know had some second thoughts]
so heres me folks, again with the tired mistakes and the crooked writing. the unnatural logic and the taboo of workplace gossip. today im full of it all. today im just fucking bursting.
there is so much to say.
most of it will never make it down. but the stragglers can make for their own.
last night i got drunk. its nothing new to me sure, but my tolerance. oh my poor tolerance. haha. after the first small glass of rum and coke i was flushed and ready for a rabid knife fights. dizzy with the tie my hand behind me mister, ill take your fucking ear off kind of confidence only the grains can give me. hmm. we wrote last night. all of us. well the three of us, anyway. the only fools who could put so much into finding the paper, grabbing for pens to stand at the ready as jonathon said "time". we wrote and it was thrilling, if only for a moment. abe meandered through his thoughts, and having been drinking for much long than me and duane, eventually mustered a "hey guys i cant even read what im writing". one down. my scratching was full of facades and coverups. trying to pull emotion from something that couldnt stand up to the truth of the topic.
i was hit, i was burning in the air. i was down.
duane wrote on. he had much more to say. he was the last one standing when the clock finally rested. hmm. and he won. oy, he won. but hey i was a close second. abe, honorably mentioned. yes folks this is what we do on a thursday night. this is our party. hmm.
heres what i wrote.
the topic: the one that got away
me: buzzing softly
[im going to embellish. sorry. i have to. im typing now.]
the one that got away was the one that didnt fight.
there was no struggle, there was no turn in events.
there was only his back and sad pleading backround music.
there was only the fleeting glance of another lover running from the scene.
her reflection, if only for a second in the face of a grandfather clock. in our home. her smell on my sheets.
there was only this.
somewhere in the ruins you find yourself swallowing the gravel. its either that or choke on it. you see the lights instead of the steady fog. theres nothing sweeter than knowing that you will survive. unless you also know that youll now have something to carry.
oh, his doe eyes.
oh, his tears on your breasts.
oh, his words.
somehow your on a plane now. pockets empty, the old home empty, and your unknowingly making plans. quietly rebuilding. familiar faces are your new cover. our seeing them for the first time. again. how long has it been?
where have i been?
and somehow it makes sense to the moderator in your mind, as she sifts through your thoughts, nodding in short handed approval. simply recounting the points. checking the matches. double love. what a laugh. no one understands anyway. how could anyone, when you were so deep in love. again with the laughing. silly girl. get on with it.
god, her reflection.
and there are times when you reach back, if only out of curiousity. your hands are swimming in the stale air. thinning air. most times. you just have to see.
now your only anger.
now your fucking away every ounce of pain.
your drinking.
your laughing.
your living.
oh, his grip on your conscious.
oh, his wily curves.
count them now sweetie. your down. down where the loss settles. and youll never know how much your giving. until its gone. its love and all its glory. sign the waiver, meet the standards. the one that never fights.
the one that walks.
the one.
so yea thats what i wrote. i kind of like it. too bad it was a bit innacurate. fuck it.
duanes mouse is really fucking up my christmas.
aaaaaah. now THAT was nice.

The study, on nearly half a million participants in the UK Biobank Study, found owls have a 10 percent higher risk of dying than larks. In the study sample, 50,000 people were more likely to die in the 6½ -year period sampled.
"Night owls trying to live in a morning lark world may have health consequences for their bodies," said co-lead author Kristen Knutson, associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Previous studies in this field have focused on the higher rates of metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular disease, but this is the first to look at mortality risk.
The study was published April 12 in the journal Chronobiology International.
The scientists adjusted for the expected health problems in owls and still found the 10 percent higher risk of death.
"This is a public health issue that can no longer be ignored," said Malcolm von Schantz, a professor of chronobiology at the University of Surrey. "We should discuss allowing evening types to start and finish work later, where practical. And we need more research about how we can help evening types cope with the higher effort of keeping their body clock in synchrony with sun time."

If you run a business laundry then you will certainly know that when it boils down to just how your customers view the high quality of your work to be, then a lot of this will be to the final finishing/ ironing of their garments. If you're ending up is bad after that you will not keep consumers long, specifically if you let down people that rely on very well completed uniforms for front of house personnel. Whilst an aspect of just how well your garments are completed will be to just how well educate your staff are, a large component of it will be down to exactly how well your completing devices operate and exactly what kind of completing machines that you are utilizing. Ending up makers is available in a variety of dimensions from ones that are made for small to average output, which are hand operated by the driver, via to high outcome finishers that utilize big rollers for continuous ending up solutions.
The commercial laundry equipment usually include a business quality iron and also ironing table. The medium sized machines tend to feature a hinged press procedure, which is suitable for a hotel running its very own small laundry. Place press ending up devices is also offered for more in-depth work. A roller ending up equipment could come in a range of widths from 1.2 meters to around 3.1 meters, with some featuring heated choices this could suggest that washing could be taken straight from a high speed spin washing machine and ironed, without the demand for separate drying out, therefore accelerating the entire laundry process. The diameter of the rollers generally varies from 22 cm to 51 centimeters.
Obviously for a business washing the choice of roller length as well as width will depend upon the kind of work that you will be accomplishing. The final option of machine you choose will be down to your expected consumer base, however an excellent washing devices provider will certainly be able to suggest on the best device for your requirements.
Lastly we pertain to maintenance, as this is just among one of the most important points to think about when it comes to acquiring industrial laundry tools. Having got the very best deal as well as got the least expensive device you can, it is unworthy anything if the device breaks down as well as you cannot get it repaired fast. You have to have an upkeep contract that covers you 365 days per annum, 24 hrs per day. As you can assure that your devices will break down when you need it most, and also if you only have one ending up equipment this indicates no ironing up until it is fixed.

EducationHamilton College - Bachelors, Government and French (two)
ExperienceI majored in government and French while living in Paris. While studying abroad in Paris, I placed at intermediate advanced on my ACTFL oral exam. I also took courses that were very focused on presenting and writing. Because of these experiences, I believe I am a fit and knowledgeable tutor. I have tutored a variety of courses. For example, I have worked with students who were trying to learn basic pronunciation and grammar. I also have worked with students who had higher skill level. I've spent time working with students who were second graders all the way to students who were graduates in college. As for my teaching approach, I am patient, passionate, and very flexible. I believe that students who come to me actually want to learn new material. However, for some, it may be confusing or difficult for them to learn. This is where I come in. I try to come up with new and fun ways to teach material that will not only gain the student's attention but will also help them in retaining the information I am teaching. I am committed to helping my students succeed. I hope to pass on that positive attitude to each and every person I work with.

Turbans, head wraps and scarves, oh my! This is the hot look for the summer, but some of you may have trouble incorporating this style into your everyday regi. Have no fear there is a style out there for everyone it just takes a little experimentation and practice.
The first thing you need if you want to rock a headpiece is fabric. You can use anything from a t-shirt, scarf, wrap, or even go crazy at the fabric store. While the shape, size and material really does not matter there are several choices. Square, rectangle or triangle it is your preference. I prefer to use rectangular scarves that measure between 18″ – 30″ wide and 42″ – 72″ long. The scarf in the picture is rectangular and measures about 20″ x 60″. When using square scarves i fold them into triangular shape and wear them further back on my head leaving bangs and/or back of my hair hanging out. Most scarves you will find will be cotton, rayon, wool, silk, linen or a polyester blend.
You can purchase cute scarves from Forever21, Old Navy, H&M, Target.
The beautiful thing about wrapping your hair is that you don't really have to do anything to it first. In the picture above my hair is in a wild and free fro underneath. You do want to thoroughly moisturizing and seal the hair first before wrapping it up. When wearing wool or cotton make sure you protect your hair by wearing a satin cap or scarf as a barrier to protect your hair from the fabric. You may opt to put your hair into a pony to help manage it, however you want to put the ponytail where you plan on tying it. So if you want to tie it in the back put the pony in the back and vice versa. If you are leaving your hair loose just push it in the direction and wrap it down using the scarf. If you are looking for volume I suggest leaving your hair out and using it to create volume under the scarf.
While there are some pretty clever knotting techniques out there you can get by with simple overhand knot (this is the knot you use to tie your shoes), twisting and tucking. If you are feeling fierce you can opt to incorporate pins, clasps, hairties or broaches. In the picture above I tied a square knot (two overhand knots), twisted the ends together, then wrapped into a bun and tucked the ends. If you cannot get the bun to stay use a hairtie to secure.
How to
Here are some great tuts from some awesome YTers on how they wrap their hair.
First up is my girl Chescalocs. She shares several stylings that can be done on locs or loose hair.
NikkiMae of NaturalChica shows you how to do a cute bangs out style.

Gripes, Likes & Theories: Rogue One
If you haven't seen Rogue One yet, consider yourself warned… ***SPOILERS***
Pardon the stream-of-consciousness post; it may get a bit messy. I've seen Rogue One five (yes, 5!) times in the theater now. The latest was on my 13th wedding anniversary (yes, 13th!), which happened to be the same sad day that our favorite Princess passed away.
Though I never had the honor of meeting her, Carrie Fisher always felt like a friend. It never occurred to me as a child that she was old enough to be my mom—she was Princess Leia, and she was my friend. As an adult, of course I appreciate the many facets of her career, advocacy and person. Her biting sarcasm and quick wit balanced with sincerity, something I will always admire. Watching Rogue One hours after learning of her death was harrowing (ironically, my 4th viewing was just hours before her heart attack). The public display of emotion got a bit uglier than I had hoped, what with the heaving shoulders and snot snorting. On the bright side, the Vader bit is impressive even with tear-blurred vision.
Things I loved about R1:
Literally everything in the last hour or so of the film. The battle, the tragic ends*, VADER. Seriously, when the lightsaber illuminates Vader in that dark corridor…ugh, I love it all so hard. That scene is everything I've ever wanted from Vader. And it all makes me cry. A. LOT.
*yes, even my Imperial sympathizing heart hurt over that. That said, this should lay to rest rumors of Jyn being Rey's mom.
For me, the part in which the film really starts feeling like a Star Wars story is as they're escaping Jedha. From there, I find myself far more engaged in the plot and connecting more with the characters. I really thought at least one of our heroes would make it out, but this ending was much better from an urgency and storytelling angle. That last scene with Jyn and Cassian is soul-crushing in the best way possible. Their chemistry was a brilliant mix of platonic and maybe-could've-been-more. I LOVE Cassian! I thought he was as well written as he was acted, which is impressive for a complex character. I would be compelled to watch anything with Diego Luna in it now. Really enjoyed Donnie Yen's performance as well.
I so appreciate how Gareth Edwards worked it into a piece that's so layered and nuanced that it feels like a sort of love note to Star Wars. The many thoughtful, lovely references in this feel less nostalgia-gimmicky than TFA (which I also loved but still). It's a beautiful bridge between the prequels and original trilogy that makes both Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope better.
I think subsequent viewings really do make a big difference for this movie since there just so much to absorb. The first time around, I was delighted to see the original Red Leader and Gold Leader (if you haven't seen how they made that happen, read this)…though I'm not sure I needed to know how/why Luke inherited the Red Five call sign. I also got a kick out of the complete-fanservice-but-still-fun cameos by Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba. Took me until the third viewing to finally notice the blue milk in Galen & Lyra Erso's hovel. I think the CG is also less bothersome after the initial shock. Is 'shock' the right word? Whatever.
Except for the vaguely cartoonish mouth movements, I thought the CG on Tarkin & Leia was surprisingly good. My only complaint is that there was perhaps too much full-face Tarkin; it took away the "is it really him?" intrigue and turned it into "oh look, CG!"
K2-SO is probably my favorite droid now (he and BB-8 blow the originals out of the water for me). Not only is K2-SO better than C-3PO, but Alan Tudyk knocks the socks off of Anthony Daniels.
Things I didn't love about R1:
Saw Gerrera/Forest Whitaker. His existence beyond rescuing Jyn as a child seemed overly contrived and almost entirely unnecessary. Every scene that he's in makes me eye-roll, and I wasn't sad when he 'sacrificed' himself to the imploding planet. In fact, I would have been glad that he bit it, except that I was eye-rolling so hard from his over-the-top acting that it really just annoyed me. Maybe part of the reason I didn't like him was the way the character was written, but Whitaker's melodramatic delivery of the lines didn't help. His "save the dream" line was arguably the worst in the movie, too—even worse than Vader's pun about choking on aspirations. And the "truth monster" was just awful. That was definitely the parallel to the rathtars in TFA that should've found the cutting room floor.
The score. I will say my frustration with this has diminished a bit with each additional screening. My understanding is that Giacchino had very little time to compose, and for that I am in awe with how relatively good it is. Nevertheless, it lacked a lot of the emotional weight of a John Williams score. It felt particularly lackluster in the title sequence after the prologue.
Speaking of the title sequence, I really missed the opening scroll and classic Star Wars theme. I do understand that Lucasfilm is trying to make it clear that these are not Skywalker-centric stories but I'm not sure how chopping out the expository scroll and iconic strains are supposed to do that.
R2-D2/C-3PO cameo. I guess I didn't really dislike this, per say, but I think that scene felt really shoehorned on Yavin. Had we seen them on the Tantive cruiser, it would've made (more) sense. It seems Threepio has worn out his welcome with me.
Outstanding questions about R1:
Do Death Troopers speak a different language, or were they just suffering from Bane unintelligible syndrome? Friends have speculated they utilize a spy-code that scrambles their transmissions outside of their helmets. I'll buy that, but I also would've liked to hear them speak actual words instead of garbled zombie sounds.
Just how did Evazan & Ponda get off Jedha so we could eventually meet them at the cantina? I assume they were already headed to their departing ship.
Also, why didn't they show the Mustafar planet 'tag' like all of the other planets? Probably just trying to surprise everybody with Vader's lair but the inconsistency bugged me ever so slightly. Regarding Mustafar, I LOVED seeing Vader's castle and half expected it to be Hayden Christensen's head in the bacta tank!
During Jyn's flashback aboard the U-Wing, we saw her family enjoying drinks with Krennic. Did the view out the apartment windows look like Coruscant to anybody else? Started reading the "Catalyst" novel today and it mentions Galen & Lyra marrying on Coruscant so I think we can assume it was supposed to be.
I want to know more about the relationship between Krennic and Tarkin—I'm currently reading "Catalyst" and hoping to find out more about this. It seems a nice parallel to the dynamic of Kylo Ren and Hux in TFA; almost like a sibling rivalry.
And I guess that about sums it up for the moment…largely because my lunch break is over and I have to get back to work. What say you? Did you love Rogue One, hate it, feel conflicted? Let's chat in the comments!
An Open Letter to Cubs Fans
Dear Cubbies Fans,
So that was pretty exciting, huh?! Congratulations on seeing a century of loyalty and enthusiasm finally pay off. This was a really fun team to watch, and you all should be very proud of them, your season and your fans!
Before last year, I was a Kansas City girl who was just a toddler the last time the Royals took the World Series championship in 1985. The unthinkable happened in 2014 when we seemingly fluked our way through the playoffs and into the Fall Classic. We found ourselves inexplicably evenly matched with the Giants and our young team fought hard through game 7.
Do you remember how you felt last night in the bottom of the 5th when Hendricks was pulled out in favor of Lester and things got a little scary? Or worse, when Lester was pulled in favor of Chapman and the game tied and things got a lot scary? That gut-wrenching feeling of having victory so very close only to have it snatched away… that's how Royals fans felt when we lost game 7 in 2014.
I'm so glad that feeling was fleeting for you. By forcing extra innings (and apparently having a "come to Jesus" moment of pulling themselves back together during the rain delay), your boys got the job done! The thrill of that moment simply can't be matched.
The Royals came back in 2015 to settle unfinished business and hammered the final nail into the Mets' coffin in game 5 of the series. Your own Ben Zobrist was our own Ben Zobrist then; it's like the guy is good luck or something. Now I know 30 years is a far cry from 108, but the overwhelming elation we felt was like yours. So having been there fairly recently, I have a little advice for you…
• Accept that bleary eyes and pinch marks are part of your existence for the next week or so. Whether from physical and mental exhaustion or sheer bliss, you'll probably have shed some tears and lost some sleep. That beautiful, delusional state will make you wonder if this is real life. It is!
• Realize that the crash is inevitable and it will burn a little. Adequate rest is essential to the next 24-48 hours of celebration. Power naps will help tame the cranky little bear inside of you. And for Pete's sake, eat a Snickers or something.
• Learn to be okay with wearing the same thing as everyone else. You're all rocking virtually identical WS gear right now, own it. Odds are you'll be standing in line at the supermarket behind someone sporting the exact same shirt at least a dozen times over the next year.
• Finally, enjoy every single moment of this. Take pictures of parades and parties, but get out from behind the screen or viewfinder and capture mental images too. The sense of community and pride amongst your fellow fans is intoxicating; drink it in.
The Cubs might roar next season for back-to-back appearances (maybe even against the Royals), or they might decide to hibernate a little sometime next summer and blame it on a shortened off-season. You never know when you'll see your boys in the World Series again, so savor it!
Congrats, Cubbies! Thanks for letting us celebrate history with you. Oh, and somebody hug Bob Newhart for me if you see him around town!
Gripes, Likes & Theories: The Force Awakens
My last post was sentimental, so here's the nitty gritty. SPOILERS FOLLOW. Proceed at your own risk. And for the love of Luke, go see the movie already!
First things first: I am historically an Imperial Apologist and Sith Sympathizer, but I'll be danged if Rey, Finn and BB-8 (and to a lesser extent Poe) aren't wooing me over to the good side. Like Kylo Ren, I'm being torn apart, tempted by the light.
Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac are so darn charming! And BB-8—contrary to my initial thoughts from way back in November 2014 when the very first teaser trailer released—is utterly adorable. I hate that I love them so much.
Oh, and I 100% support the idea of Rey being Luke's daughter. At this point, I will be terribly disappointed if she isn't. Luke's lightsaber (from his father before him) calls to her. She's a fine pilot with mechanical aptitude. She beckons the saber to her during the snowy duel at Starkiller Base, to the strains of the Luke/Jedi theme music, which made me openly weep. R2-D2 clearly reactivates when she comes on the Resistance base [yes, I know JJ said it was because BB-8 woke him up, but he also said that Benedict Cumberbatch absolutely was not Khan so I don't believe anything he says that could potentially reveal a spoiler]. And, most importantly, Luke himself gets a little bleary-eyed when he sees her at the end*. Though I do have a love/hate with that ending. I wish the movie was more self-contained rather than a near-literal cliffhanger ending. I do, however, love that we didn't actually see Luke until the end. So many feels!
*I hypothesize he thought her dead along with his wife and the rest of his Jedi academy. My dearest thinks that Kylo Ren (Rey's cousin) spared her life and dropped her off on Jakku. I'll add to his theory and suggest there was probably some sort of Force memory-wipe involved such that she doesn't remember him.
As for Kylo Ren, I was pleasantly surprised with him. The physical manifestations of his instability with regards to the janky lightsaber and temper tantrums…brilliant! I also love that he's struggling to fully embrace the Dark Side; it makes him so much more dimensional than your everyday villain. Do wish he would've kept his helmet on longer—a big reveal on the bridge with Han would've been a nice touch. And holy tauntauns, I want his hair!
Speaking of the son of Solo, I'm curious what you good people think about a particular line when he's interrogating Rey: "Don't be afraid, I feel it too." Adam Driver delivers it in a very nuanced, compelling way and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. In fact, I think that entire scene works very well, save for the quasi-rapey "I can take whatever I want" bit.
Apart from Kylo Ren, I was rather disappointed with the First Order. I had HUGE love for Captain Phasma going into this, and I left feeling deflated. I don't buy that the character would've just complied with Finn/Han/Chewie's demands without putting up a fight [this is the part of the show where people write in the comments about how she had an angry Wookiee with a crossbow staring her down].
They sibling-rivalry dynamic between Hux and Kylo Ren leaves me wanting more information about the structure of the First Order. Did they both join ranks about the same time? It seems, of course, that Supreme Leader Snoke is in the position once occupied by Emperor Palpatine but we know nothing else about him. I side with those who think Supreme Leader Snoke is really Darth Plagueis. In fact, I'll be rather disappointed if we don't learn that he cheated death at the hands of Palpatine then pulled all of the subsequent puppet strings.
With regards to storytelling, it didn't hit all of the beats I expected or hoped. The fact that it parallels Episode IV doesn't bother me so much as the fact that it feels like the lazy version of it. Whereas plans were carefully stolen—huzzah, Rogue One!—and analyzed to identify the first Death Star's weakness, Starkiller Base was surveyed for just a couple of minutes and then off they went. It all felt overly contrived. Moreover, the destruction of the Republic planets had no emotional weight, as we knew nothing of them. At least we felt Leia's emotion when Alderaan bit the dust.
I was also a little bummed that the John Williams score didn't hold more stirring treasures than it did. Rey's theme stands apart, as does Kylo Ren's, but it's otherwise pretty forgettable. And while I initially hated the song from Maz Kanata's watering hole (composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda), I was bummed when it didn't show up on the soundtrack. It has grown on me in ways I would rather pretend didn't exist.
Maz Kanata herself wins a spot on my "likes" list for the film. During the course of production, we were told only that the lovely Lupita Nyong'o was performing a motion-capture creature; I sensed a disturbance in the force. When rumored concept art surfaced, I was sure it was bad news. When the movie released, it was as if the skies opened and we were granted a gift. Maz is wonderful! She's one of the better CG characters I can recall seeing, matching up to the likes of Groot or Rocket Raccoon. To top it off, her personality is affable and her wisdom hearkens back to the Yoda of yesteryear rather than the obnoxious prequel Yoda.
Something wholly unrelated that bothered me ever so slightly is Finn's status within the Stormtrooper ranks. At the beginning of the film, we're lead to believe the troops on Jakku are an elite squad. Later, however, Finn says that he worked in sanitation and defected on his first mission. Doesn't add up.
The opening scene between Poe and Max Von Sydow felt like a missed opportunity, too. Title crawl reference an old ally, so I assumed it would be someone we recognized (if only by name). Alas, just a random old guy. Of all places, that felt like a good time to throw in some fan service.
Another missed opportunity…in fact, one that I believe should have been wholly scrapped, was the Han scene with the Guavian Death Squad, Kanjiklub and rathtars. It was so obvious it had been considerably chopped down for time that it should've just gone away altogether. It was the one scene where I felt Harrison Ford didn't deliver, and I can't say I blame him since it was so silly. The only redeeming moment was Rey closing the bay doors on the monster that held Finn and then her response of "that was lucky" when he told her about the apparent miracle. Okay, the moment where Chewie agreed that Han had let them down on more than one occasion was pretty fun, too.
Chewie was a far better addition to this film than any prior. In fact, this was probably the first time I felt any real affinity for him [ducks to avoid flying bottles and tomatoes]. The "You must be very brave" scene with the Resistance-base medic checking his arm cracked me up. The dejarik/chess game felt a bit forced (ha!), though I did dig Chewie's reaction to it. I also enjoyed seeing the crossbow get some love. And the way he hugged Leia…awwwww.
Dear, dear Leia. Carrie Fisher is a galactic gem, and I was glad to see her back in the sass. Her role in the film, though, felt like it was written a bit flat. And that "fashionable gas-station attendant" outfit, oy! I wouldn't trade her for all of the Meryl Streeps in the world, though.
So I guess that kind of sums up my thought process…though there are roughly a billion other opinions and related musings that I haven't managed to dig out of my brain yet. What say you? Comment below & let's discuss!
Star Wars Is Like My Cat
It's been over a week now since The Force Awakens (TFA) came into our lives. And after 4 viewings, including the 7-movie marathon on opening day, I feel like I can finally summarize my feelings about the newest addition to the Star Wars saga.
Growing up, I had the sweetest, most gentle cat in the world—his name, ironically, was Goliath. He was there for every milestone, every moment of joy, every pang of sadness, snuggling and unleashing the full power of cats' magical calming agent: purring. He was loyal and faithful and wonderful. Just like the original trilogy of Star Wars.
Goliath became one with the Force, so to speak, when I was 16 years old in 1999. Coincidentally, that was the same year that the prequel trilogy dawned.
In 2002—the same year Attack of the Clones released—I adopted a feisty little kitten whom I named Storm (middle name Trooper). Storm was the exact opposite of Goliath; where he had been solid black with yellowish-green eyes, she was a cream and gray tabby with piercing blue eyes. His utter devotion and love was answered with her indifference and bitey-ness. Like Goliath before her, she too was a remarkably good snuggler with an even stronger aptitude for purring me to sleep.
Over the next 12 years, Storm and I had an undeniable love/hate relationship. She exhibited violent mood shifts that usually ended with a new set of bloody teeth marks on my arms or legs. In spite of the scar-inducing teeth, we grew into a codependent pair. When she was good, she was heartbreakingly good, and when she was bad…well, most people would've put her down. Not unlike the prequel trilogy, if you catch my meaning.
Too mean to go out any other way, Storm succumbed to colon cancer in January. A long-haired tortoiseshell fluffball named Rue joined our family a month later. You won't be surprised by this point in the post to find that my feelings about her virtually mirror how I feel about The Force Awakens.
When I first met Rue at the shelter (her name was Zeda then…no thanks), it was a wholly bittersweet experience. I was super excited at the prospect of getting a new kitten but I was emotionally exhausted from losing Storm. Rue, to her credit, was ridiculously wonderful on her own accord and gave me no choice but to enjoy her presence…and yet, I came away perplexed. I wanted to love her, there was little reason not to, but I needed time to process.
I got time, as Rue needed her spay operation before we could bring her home. When we picked her up a couple of days later, I made a conscientious effort to look at her with fresh eyes.
Rue, like The Force Awakens, isn't here to replace the previous "friends" who helped shape my being, but rather to supplement. Some of her behavior recalls that of my earlier loves and my heart swells with nostalgia. Her personality and quirks are uniquely hers, which brings me utter joy. And some of the things she does…well, they kind of irk me. She's not perfect, that's for sure. Some of the irksome behavior is just bad and some of it is largely because it falls flat compared to the grand narrative I've created in my head.
There's a lot to love about TFA, and I think I can say now with certainty that I do love it. Even with last night's 4th viewing, it coaxed tears out of me during several scenes; some happy, some sad. That's something few films can boast. But cats, man, cats hit me in the feels every time!
Spoilerrific 'Gripes & Likes' post coming soon!
It's finally here, you guys!!!!! In just a couple of sleeps we'll be getting our first full look at The Force Awakens, and I'm downright giddy. GIDDY!
Because we're this close I'm steering clear of social media until after the 7pm Thursday (CST) showing. I might make some remote posts during the movie marathon on Thursday, but I'm sure as heck not reading anything that gets posted. With friends and fellow fans across the globe getting their glimpse before I get mine, I don't want to chance anything. Here's a little variation on what I posted to my Facebook account yesterday in advance of my quarantine…
'Twas the week of new Star Wars, and in the Amethystos house
One girl couldn't stop stirring—You guessed it, Severus's spouse. (that would be me)
The tickets were purchased with months left to spare,
And now the time came, it so soon would be there;
Even when nestled all snug in my bed,
Visions of TIE Fighters danced in my head.
With trailers, tv spots and internet on tap,
Avoiding the spoilers feels like IT'S A TRAP!
Driver, Ridley, Boyega, Ford, Fisher and Hamill,
Old heroes, new villains and droids, worlds and mammals,
In J.J. we trust, it won't be too long now,
Prepare the tears, gasps and the re-sound-ing "WOW"s.
Of course, if it's bad, you'll hear all of that too,
As if millions of voices cried out a "screw you!"
So now hear me exclaim as I log out of sight—
"Happy Star Wars to all, I'll be back Thursday night!"

EM optimism faces China question: FT
While indicators continue to point to a sustainable path towards growth and investment returning to emerging markets, hopes aren't just pinned on Trump's tax cuts. For some, China's sky is always falling.
Investors are beginning to ease their hand off the escape hatch button as indicators seem to be validating bullish positions and aleviating fears of a catastrophic event that would disturb the global emergance from economic hibernation. Despite concern that the resurgence of populism around the world, including Trump's election in the US, would hasten a contraction of global trade, the reverse is happening. Trade activity is picking up and many feel US domestic policies will feed that trend, while Washington quietly backs away from more hawkish positions on trade.
Against this backdrop the Financial Times spoke with head of emerging markets cross-asset strategy at UBS, Bhanu Baweja, who threw a little bit of cold water on the excitement surrounding emerging market resurgence. Baweja argues that the sustainability of EM growth will rely on the stability of China's housing market, which has been controlled carefully by the government, but property prices may have reached a peak. Don't let a looming downturn in the housing market keep you from joining the party, he says, but it might not last. This is also an old refrain. Not a day goes by when there is not somebody somewhere expecting a China housing bubble to burst. For some, the Chinese sky is always falling.

About the Photographer
Client Testimonials

Client Viewing
Hello and welcome, I'm entirely flattered that you wanted to know a little bit about me... I hope I don't disappoint! First and foremost, I'm a mother to an amazing little boy whom is completely obsessed with the wild and precocious antics of Calvin and Hobbes, I blame my husband for that! Oh and while we're on the subject of my husband, we've been each other's best friend and partner in crime for about 13 years now and I'm pretty darn lucky that he completely adores me! I'm not exactly sure how that ever happened, but I'm just going with it.
Aside from my love of photography and passion for documenting lives, I'm just a regular down-to-earth kind of gal. I'm a bit of a daydreamer and I'll readily admit that I'm complete girly girl, but in my eyes those aren't necessarily bad qualities! Yes, that means I'll need to bring a box of Kleenex if we go to some sappy movie together. And yes, I'll probably need consoling after it's all over, but I'll totally pay for drinks afterwards! Oh and I'm a hugger so beware! You should also know that I love people who can make me laugh, those with exceptionally kind hearts and people whom are passionate and love life as much as I do. If you're one of those, we'll become fast and forever friends!
As far as how I got into photography, it's surprisingly something I just fell head over heels in love with once my son was born and it kind of snowballed from there. However, I had always been the friend who was taking pictures, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would led me here! I can proudly say that I haven't looked back since and I can't imagine doing anything else for the rest of my life, it just fills my heart with more happiness than I can put into words. Before finding my passion for photography, I was pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Social Work. I've held various positions within the helping community, serving at a Women's Shelter and working with children with Autism. I've always had a heart for helping people, so I'm thrilled that have found ways to unite my passion for both!
Thank you so much for taking a few moments to get to know me, however I'm totally open for scheduling in coffee dates should you want to know more ; )
Warm regards,

Wouldn't You Love to Have a Juicy, Home-Grown Tomato Right Now?
The time is quickly approaching when it will be time to start vegetable transplants for the home garden. If you get seed catalogs the number of choices can be overwhelming, particularly for tomato varieties. There are a couple of factors to keep in mind when choosing the variety that is right for you.
Tomatoes can be divided into two groups depending on their growth habits. Determinate varieties are also called bush tomatoes and bear their tomatoes over a couple of weeks and then die. Indeterminate varieties, or vine tomatoes, grow and bear fruit throughout the season and are eventually killed by frosts.
Other categories of tomatoes include heirloom and hybrid cultivars. Heirlooms like Cherokee Purple and Mortgage Lifter are regaining popularity because of unique flavors that may have been lost in newer cultivars. Hybrid varieties are genetic crosses between two different varieties and are mainly developed for disease resistance or some other special feature.
The problem with many heirloom varieties is they do not have much disease resistance. While many hybrids do have disease resistance, the seeds cannot be saved and planted the next year because they will not be true to type. Hybrid varieties will often have F1 or F2 next to their name in seed catalogs.
Other categories of tomatoes are based upon color, size and shape. Along with the standard reds, you also have purple, yellow, white, orange, green and pink. As far as the size is concerned you have the beefsteak, cherry, grape and plums – just to name a few. Tomatoes range in shape from large strawberries, called oxhearts, to egg-shaped romas.
If you are still confused about which tomato seeds to order, you might want to talk with someone with gardening experience. Some varieties do better in our climate while others take much more effort to get to grow and produce

Barrow County officials are gearing up to begin work on the FY2011 budget and all options for how to balance it are on the table, including a possible hike in property taxes.
Barrow County Board of Commissioners Chairman Danny Yearwood told the Barrow Journal this week that revenues will be even tighter in the coming year than they are this year and that without a reduction in services – that is, a reduction in public safety services – a tax increase is unavoidable.
Barrow Sheriff Jud Smith, with whom Yearwood butted heads over spending during last year's budget process, said that that he does not plan to recommend any spending cuts for FY2011 and is likely to ask for more funding for the BCSO due to capital and other needs.
But BOC member Steve Worley, who helped resolve last year's budget impasse between Yearwood and Smith, said there is room for additional layoffs in some county departments.

Forget what the "experts" say about Vernon Gholston's play. Here is the real skinny.
By Bill Smith
me explain that I really do not like the standard Jet zone. They use a 5 under 2 deep out of their 3-4
defense. In this system, the two corners
join the two inside linebackers and one of the outside backers in the 5 zones
short while the two safeties play over the top.
That puts an outside linebacker in a zone. Smart play callers always work a WR into that
zone and gain a great speed advantage by doing so. The Browns did that to good advantage in the
game Thursday night. The Patriots have
used that to dominate the Jet D since the team converted to a 3-4. That makes things doubly hard for Gholston
who must not only learn a new position but must adapt to a less than optimum
Gholston is
used to rushing the passer dropping in coverage in a short zone on the zone
blitz at OSU. He is very capable of
doing either of those with great success.
In the Jet system, in passing situations either Gholston or the LB on
the other side is asked to cover a zone and take anyone that enters it. The difference is not only the type of player
to be covered. In the Jet's system,
there are only 4 players at the most rushing the passer. That means Gholston or another linebacker is
going to have to cover longer because there is less pressure on the opponent
QB. Even so, he did pretty well in his
first game action. Gholston played 3
quarters in the game against the Browns.
Against the run
He did very
well on runs to his side. The Browns did
not run often to that side but when they did he stood his ground and turned the
run inside where his friends could make a play.
One one play he caused a holding penalty by a OT to prevent him from
making the tackle. That is a good play
that is almost equal to a sack. On
another he was double teamed. He still
worked between the blocks and turned the play inside—exactly what he is
expected to do. As a rookie he must
learn to get rid of blockers more quickly.
This is a combination of hand fighting and leverage. He will learn to do both and has the strength
to be effective at it.
On runs to
the other side, his instincts are outstanding.
He takes the proper angles to the play and is in position to make the
tackle if the on-side tacklers break down.
tackling technique in the open field needs work. He tends to go high which reduces his
strength and leverage. That too will
come with time. He does an excellent job
of using his speed and angles to track down runners.
Against the pass—rushing the QB
If I
was the coach, I would move Gholston around the D and let him rush from all
angles. The Giants did that with
Lawrence Taylor and he is in the Hall of Fame.
That would allow the best use of Gholston's athleticism and speed.
When he is
allowed to rush he did it with abandon—maybe a little too much abandon. On one pass, he rushed Brady Quinn but did
not get under control when reached the QB and missed the sack. He did force Quinn to throw on the run and
the pass was incomplete. That qualifies
as a QB pressure.
Because he
is always coming from the same spot, he usually draws an OT rather than a TE or
RB. Expecting a blitz makes blocking it
much easier particularly when you know where it is coming from. Gholston will have to work on getting away
from NFL blockers. They are much quicker
with much better feet than those in college.
Again his change from DE to OB alters
the moves necessary to get around blockers.
He will learn to fake an outside move and cut inside. From a stand up position, that gives an OB a one step advantage which is all you can ask. He will also learn to use his legs
better. Blitzing from a stand up
position requires an OB to dip a shoulder just
before making contact with the blocker and then exploding past using his lower
body strength and leverage. That is a
move that will come in time.
Gholston scored 10 points which translates to a full game of 13.3 points and a
B* rating.
* Because of differences in the duties of offensive and
defensive positions, each one has a different grading scale.
Bill Smith is a
former coach of several semi-pro teams and has scouted talent. He is a senior writer for http://BrutusReport.com. He has

About the four general categories of Islamic Prayer beads that we offer.
The most expensive are on the left. And the biggest sellers are on the right.
If you watch the video on the right you can see more detailed information about the most often sold Islamic prayer bead.
If you are a re-seller, do not miss the opportunity to increase your sales by offering the products that are most often sold. Watch the video on the right.
All products that we offer are made from genuine Baltic Amber and have no additives, bonding agents or colorants. They are all made from natural Baltic Amber stones. They do not contain grains or meals.
The difference between them is the method by which the beads are formed. Information about that is below the pictures.
Please also note that it is very difficult to distinguish beads that are pressed from a single stone of amber and those that are hand carved from a single stone of amber. Perhaps the first indication of authentic, hand carved beads is price. If they are not expensive, they are probably not hand carved.
Also be careful to be sure that the basic product is Baltic Amber and not Copal.
In short, deal only with people who can show you more than one product form so you can compare.
And don't disregard the people who can't afford the most expensive hand carved prayer beads. Test by buying one of the low cost, Gemstone Amber prayer beads.
Natural Baltic Amber (Succinite)
Modified Baltic Amber (Succinite)
Reconstructed (pressed) Baltic Amber (Succinite)
Reconstructed Baltic Amber (Succinite)
Beads used are classified in accordance with the classification guide below.
The Commission of Experts of the International Amber Association of Poland, have developed principles of classification of Amber gemstones. Those classifications are as follows.
Natural Baltic amber (Succinite) – gemstone which has undergone mechanical treatment only (for instance: grinding, cutting, turning or polishing) without any change to its natural properties.
Modified Baltic amber (Succinite) – gemstone subjected only to thermal or high-pressure treatment, which changed its physical properties, including the degree of transparency and color, or shaped under similar conditions out of one nugget, previously cut to the required size.
Reconstructed (pressed) Baltic amber (Succinite) – gemstone made of Baltic amber pieces pressed in high temperature and under high pressure without additional components. Look at examples at Amber Beads Made From Two Stones
Bonded Baltic amber (Succinite) (doublet, triplet) – gemstone consisting of two or more parts of natural, modified or reconstructed Baltic amber bonded together with the use of the smallest possible amount of a binding agent necessary to join the pieces. International jewelry and gemology organizations recommend providing customers with exhaustive information on the gemstone modifications applied.
The classification of Baltic amber gemstones was adopted by the Board of the International Amber Association on December 2011, 1999, as amended. Last amended on December 02, 2011.
Discussion about Islamic prayer beads
Due to the high prices of Amber, there is a great deal of fraud in the market. Many manufacturers are offering prayer beads made of copal or synthetics. Other manufacturers sell modified Amber as natural Baltic Amber.
Some re sellers buy modified Amber and sell it as natural Baltic Amber.
In general to protect yourself, it is best to know your supplier.
Furthermore it is best not to rely on pictures. The best way to check quality and marketability is to buy one each of the four classes of prayer being shown above, hold them in your hand and analyze them yourself and check the marketability of each by presenting them to people around you.
We also recommend that you offer your customers a choice. Not everyone can afford the most expensive prayer beads. And sometimes they would like an expensive prayer bead as well as a less expensive prayer bead in the for themselves, for a student, or someone else in their family.
If you need more information or have any specific requirements, tell us.
Please send your message using this form to get more information, make a comment, or ask for personal help if you could not find what you wanted. We will help you get exactly what you want.
We will respond within one business day.[wpforms id="16″ title="false" description="false"]

Cuts to disability funding shutting 'vital services' down
Advocacy group urges new Cabinet to restore '€1.2 million withdrawn' to organisations
Disability Federation of Ireland chief executive John Dolan, joined by a signer, today urged the newly formed Cabinet to reinstate some €1.2 million in funding to 25 organisations supporting people with disabilities. Photograph: Peter Houlihan/ Paul Sherwood Photography.
Cuts to disability organisations are causing vital services to shut down for the "most vulnerable" in society, the chief executive of the Disability Federation of Ireland has said.
John Dolan said the withdrawal of almost €1.2 million in funding from 25 disability and care-focused groups last week was a "devastating blow" to the sector.
"At this rate, by the end of next year, we will no longer have the basic elements in place to support people with disabilities," he said.
Mr Dolan was speaking at the launch of a campaign in Dublin today to convince the new Cabinet, expected to be announced tomorrow, to reinstate the money and appoint a minister for disability.
"We desperately need a minister to protect the core services in disability," he said.
Mr Dolan said the federation, an umbrella body representing 120 organisations, had to take immediate action after the allocation for the 2014-2016 round of Scheme to Support National Organisations left many disability groups "stranded or struggling".
"The disability movement had been hit hard by the steady corrosion of vital services and supports, which allow these people and their families the dignity and independence they are entitled to," he said.
Mr Dolan said groups such has Chronic Pain Ireland would be forced to shut down in less than a year.
"We cannot let this hugely serious issue slip between the cracks. There will be no future for people with disabilities if the supports and services they require continue to be demolished this way," he said.
Mags Rogers, of the Neurological Alliance of Ireland, said the group would have to close unless other funding could be found. "This cannot happen. Once the services are removed, they cannot be replaced," she said.
"Eleven neurological organisations applied for funding and all eleven were turned down. This has a decimating effect on the neurological sector."
Ms Rogers said they represented more than 700,000 people who live with a neurological conditions in Ireland, which include epilepsy, Alzheimer's's disease and Parkinsons.
Catherine Aspel, of Brí, an organisation that supports those living with brain injuries, said it had lost an office and two staff as a result of the cut.
"It leaves us and those we support in a hugely difficult and uncertain situation," she said.

What You Need to Know About Anesthesia and Your Pet
on May 26, 2015
Posted in Cats
So the time has come for your pet to be spayed or neutered and you, like many pet parents, may be concerned about your pet's anesthesia. When your puppy or kitten is spayed/neutered or undergoing another type of surgery, he/she is put under general anesthesia which means he/she is unconscious and not able to feel pain.
Lower Anesthetic Risk
There are always risks associated with any anesthetic but the reality is that a general anesthetic is considered a low risk event in the life of a cat or dog. There are some things that you can do to lessen any anesthetic risk.
- Fasting: Your veterinary office will instruct you to withhold food from your pet for several hours before the procedure. This is because if there is food in the stomach, it can trigger vomiting. Vomiting could cause inhalation of fluid or food into the lungs. This can be extremely dangerous and is prevented by fasting.
- Presurgical examination: Your pet will be examined by the veterinarian to make sure he or she is healthy enough for an anesthetic. A medical history will be important for the doctor to know at this time.
- Presurgical blood tests: Your veterinarian may recommend some blood work before anesthesia, if necessary.
- Intravenous fluids: These are highly recommended for all pets to maintain blood pressure and hydration. Fluids allow your pet to recover more quickly and the catheter provides intravenous access in case emergency drugs are needed.
Veterinarian Safeguards
The above procedures are performed before the anesthetic is given. There are also safeguards that may be put into place during the procedure to be sure your pet is safe.
These safeguards include:
- The veterinary technician: A technician or assistant is present during the anesthetic event to monitor your pet's vital signs and to help adjust anesthetic levels, under the direction of the veterinarian.
- A heart rate monitor counts your pet's heartbeats per minute. Anesthesia and other factors, such as surgery itself, can affect heart rate. By monitoring your pet's heart rate, your veterinarian can make anesthetic adjustments quickly.
- An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors your pet's heart rate and heartbeat pattern. It can detect abnormal heartbeats called arrhythmias. If an arrhythmia is detected, your veterinarian can make suitable changes in anesthesia.
- Core body temperature may be monitored, especially if your pet is undergoing a prolonged surgical procedure. Changes in body temperature can cause dangerous complications. Most pets are placed on a warming blanket to prevent hypothermia.
- A blood pressure monitor measures your pet's blood pressure. When used in conjunction with other monitoring equipment, it provides detailed information on your pet's cardiovascular condition.
- Pulse oximetry may be used to monitor the amount of oxygen in your pet's blood and the pulse rate.
- Carbon dioxide is often monitored together with oxygen, as it helps determine if your pet is receiving the right amount of oxygen during anesthesia.
All of these measures ensure your pet is safe when he or she has an anesthetic. Not all hospitals provide this level of care for your pet. It is important to be informed when it comes to your pet's anesthesia. Be sure to ask the right questions to ensure safe and complete care for your beloved pet.

A good scrap ought to be developing between the Board of Education and the County Commissioners after the School Board announced its classroom computers were hopelessly out-of-date and need to be replaced to the tune of $1.5 million.
It seems that last time the machines were replaced, the kids were told, "Dude, you're gettin' a Smith-Corona."
Come now, you saw how the County Commissioners race broke down. You think they're going to spend $1.5 million? On computers? Way I see it, the only way the School Board has even a wisp of a chance is if they promise to outfit all the monitors with Ten Commandments screen savers.
Besides, the County Commissioners need to save all their money to pay the legal fees for all their pending litigation. Apparently, having grown bored with suing themselves, the commissioners turned their legal sights elsewhere and the first mammals that wandered into the scope happened to be Hagerstown City Council members.

They are instead established up for becoming simple to use plus they allow for a much reduce cost, something that anyone will want to take benefit of. Yet, 1 of the most essential reasons why you have to head to the online occupation websites to search for your subsequent occupation over remaining with the newspaper is as simple as the fact that they are over the internet as opposed to in print. Readership to newspapers and magazines has dropped, significantly.

ESTATE AND GARAGE Revenue - A garage sale is the best location for less expensive belongings that you want to promote quickly. You can go about this by marketing your sale in the paper or by placing a signal in front of your home - you can even place 1 at the corner of your street with your deal with on it. A great deal of papers provide free ads for items below a certain quantity. If you want to promote a couple of issues at a time it's a great concept. For an estate sale, then you might want to hire a professional estate or tag sale organizer. This is the best route to go if you have higher quality belongings. They can advise you on how to price items and will deal with any haggling. They generally will consider 25%twenty five of the sale.

These ten 2010 film sequels and remakes are outlined chronologically. The dates of these currently released or approaching films in 2010 are subject to change, so be sure to check your nearby theaters Clasificadosonline.Commanejodefotos prior to venturing out to see these movie sequels.

First of all, this is against eBay policy. Excessive shipping fees are a way for sellers to steer clear of having to pay Last Value Fees, because these fees are calculated on the revenue price, not the transport fee. eBay calls this "circumventing fees." eBay community associates can report sellers for charging these extreme fees, and these listings will be pulled. The vendor might also be suspended, lose Power Seller Status, or be terminated if as well numerous of his Clasificadosonline.Commanejodefotos have excessive transport fees.

When searching for the very best online marketing company that will provide you with the most responsive advertising for your specific market at the most reasonable price, a great deal of research is required to be carried out. Don't allow that scare you although, it's not really that difficult or time consuming but it is important for obtaining reliable results.

I suspect that the reason the Freelance Function Exchange has altered its title to Go Freelance is simply because of the bad track record it has garnered below the previous name. The company is probably hoping that by altering its name it can alter its image, but don't be fooled. This business is not a reputable chance to find freelance function. With all the free freelancing job lists that are available on-line there is no reason anyone ought to have to pay their hard attained money to discover jobs. So, do your self a favor and steer clear of the Freelance Function Trade/Go Freelance simply because it is not a legitimate opportunity to find freelance function.

If your business is at least 1 year previous it may currently be listed in many of the online directories. However, you require to claim your listing and fill it in with correct information. Unclaimed Clasificadosonline.Commanejodefotos contain extremely little content and frequently occasions incomplete and inaccurate info.

To these who are into company it is an important part of the business to have somebody or hire someone to monitor the company for you. Online advertising is one business pattern that is extremely popular these days and 1 of the online businesses that you can use to market a product or products is eBay. EBay is a very popular online auction website catering to 1000's of small, medium or large scale companies. If you are one of the numerous who auctions on this site and you are auctioning products as your primary business, you may have experienced difficulty in monitoring and listing goods. IN this post I present make cash promoting on eBay with Turbo Lister - the small package deal that offers huge benefits to your eBay company.

Get the word out! Print some business playing cards, hand out flyers, e-mail everybody you know, have your spouse deliver in some brochures to his or her office. Place free ads online at Craigslist. Ask people for referrals.

Again, promoting real products is also fantastic; you can reach a great deal of individuals with the Classifieds. Of program, you should sell some thing which can easily be delivered. Or else, you need to be aware in your ad that you are only prepared to ship to certain places. If you reside in Virginia and are trying to promote a stove, then you should make a note of how much away you are prepared to ship the merchandise.

You can also inquire individuals to verify final submitting dates on your Clasificadosonline.Commanejodefotos, but if you have already offered products from an active listing you gained't be in a position to amend it. Getting the info in your shop is frequently sufficient to help individuals out though.
