but still the experience gave me a new found respect for their power.

People all over the world have heard of fire ants and many blow them off as some South African nuisance that they will never run across. This is not only wrong, but dangerous. I, like other folks, once thought the same thing. I thought that fire ants were something that I would never even see, much less stumble across. That all changed last week when I learned first hand about what a group of fire ants are capable of. Fire ants are no joke, and that is for sure.


A fire ant is highly aggressive, and not shy about stinging. They very rarely ever attack people, and usually it is only when a person inadvertently stumbles across them and disturbs them. When a fire ant stings, it is very similar to a bee sting. The sting releases histamines,In order to have a shot at selling to Wal-mart, and they are highly painful and itchy. The stings will become red, swell and eventually form blisters. These blisters will eventually pop, but you should not pop them yourself. The problem with fire ants is that if you have one sting, you are likely to have many. This is because fire ants attack as an army. They do not attack one at a time like many other insects. This means many stings, and with each sting the danger increases.


I have a dirt road that winds down to an abandoned area of our neighborhood. This road runs alongside my house, so it is naturally a place that I go walking about every day. There is an old house that has been abandoned for a couple of years at the end of this road,ugg bailey button on sale, and some woods beyond that. Just before those woods is an old statue of Jesus that I go to pray at on occasion. I went to pray there a couple of weeks ago. As I was praying, I had my eyes closed. When I opened them I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye to my left. When I turned and looked, it seemed as though the entire ground was moving beneath an old tree that is close by the statue. About fifteen feet from where I was standing was an entire colony of fire ants. I knew them because of my knowledge of their appearance.


I could not resist the morbid curiosity to go over and get a closer look. You could clearly see the line of ants that was running from the woods to the tree and it was quite long. The line was also about a foot wide, so their were literally thousands if not millions of these ants. They were all climbing on top of one another and it was amazing. It was clear that some were coming and some were going, and that they were transporting something back and forth. When I got up close enough, under the tree I noticed what appeared to be an animal. It was about the size of a squirrel, and it was literally bones. The ants were all over the carcass and it appeared as though they were transporting little pieces of this carcass back to the woods. I know this behavior is rare, but it was clear they were eating this small animal.


The chills got the better of me as I got far away rather quickly. I could not help but wonder if the ants had simply stumbled upon a dead squirrel or had killed it themselves. They likely stumbled upon it already dead, but still the experience gave me a new found respect for their power.

Everyone can become an image consultant. You just need a few things that will make you excel if you choose to turn this into a full time job or business.


First of all, you must have a background in something so can use your experience and offer this as counsel to the client. If you had experience as a hairstylist, you know what hairstyles or colors work for a certain individual.


You should also be paying attention in whatever you are offering otherwise you won’t be able to give your all when you are trying to help someone with their problem.


It will also be good to have formal education and get qualifications similar to a doctor has to get in order to practice medicine.

If your husband loves his music

Every wedding anniversary is a milestone in your relationship. Completing 15 years of wedded bliss is a laudable feat in this day of short-term marriages. On your 15th wedding anniversary you can gift your husband any number of things that he likes or wants. It can range from a set of golf clubs, to a brand of wine that will complete his collection at your home bar, to even that really expensive set of cuff links for his formal wear. But the 15th anniversary is also a great time for an extra special gift for your husband. And so you can think of adding something truly from the heart as well.


If you want to go the traditional way – the 15th anniversary gift has to be something made in crystal. If your husband’s study table could do with some sprucing up, then a personalized crystal clock with an engraving of your names and wedding date would do nice. Also a crystal frame with your wedding photo or even a collage of your special day would add character to your husband’s work space.


Another interesting idea will be to get a beveled crystal frame which can hold a photograph at one end with some empty space for engraving right next to it. You could use this space for those special wedding vows you may have written for your husband on the day of your marriage.


A watch also makes for a great 15th anniversary present. Personalizing any gift with some words or a picture is a great way to mark the special occasion on which it is presented. Though crystal is representative of the 15th anniversary, it is today also acceptable to present glass. Any of these gifts can also be thought of in the glass form.


Your 15th anniversary may also be a time when you might decide to get the family together. If it is an informal function like a family barbecue,Bailey Button Triplet uggs on sale, then you could get your husband some specially designed cooking apparel. These could be T-shirts proclaiming his culinary skill, or his adeptness at the grill. It could be aprons commemorating the special occasion on which it is being worn.


For a 15th anniversary wedding gift for your husband you could also zero in on a hobby of his. If it is golf, get him that special club he has been hankering after. On the weekend after your anniversary or at a time you may deem appropriate,grapes and oranges are also very rich in Vitamin C, schedule a surprise day of golfing with his friends and let him know on your anniversary. He will be thrilled. Try and get him ringside seats to the game of his choice and tag alone to make it a fun day. If it’s not really your thing, get a like-minded game fanatic to join your husband.


If your husband loves his music, get him that sleek electric guitar he may have been pining for or branded crashes for his drum kit. For those with a taste in cigars and good spirits, you could think of a branded hip flask and a lighter set. You could get him some really expensive wine that was missing from his collection in a personalized single bottle basket. A double wine bottle tote for those outdoor picnics would be a wonderful addition to his bar accessories. Personalized crystal bottle stoppers and wine bottle accessory sets are good ideas too.


You could make the day special by gifting your husband something that has been designed for a couple. It could be platinum love bands or a holiday at your honeymoon spot. Personalize the gift in a way that only you would know how. After all you have been married for 15 years.

There were several advantages to this program

The Cash for Clunkers Program was created in order to get older vehicles with low gas mileage off of the roads, while at the same time stimulating the new car industry. At the end of 2008 and continuing into mid to late 2009, U.S. new car makers faced one of worst environments in which they’ve ever had to do business. The economy was in a deep recession, which meant that many people were putting off new car purchases, decimating that sector.


To try and counter this, and with the side benefit of helping the environment and reduce the country’s dependence on foreign oil, the government created an incentive where new car buyers would receive a credit of $3500 or $4500 towards the purchase of certain new vehicles, if they traded in their existing high-gas-mileage autos. The amount received depended on the amount of net increase in miles per gallon between the old vehicle and the new one.


There were several advantages to this program, one of which is that during its tenure, new car dealerships saw an unprecedented demand for their products, which was a vast contrast to the business environment immediately preceding that time period. Many dealerships had to close their doors in late 2008 and early 2009,Kensington uggs, so the cash for clunkers most likely helped stave off more closures by creating increased demand for autos.


Another benefit to the program is that it has increased the pace at which older, gas-guzzling vehicles are retired off the road,Sadly to say, which is helpful in several ways. First, reducing the net age of the vehicles populating the nation’s roads can only make them safer, as older autos can often be unsafe for the drivers and those around them. In addition, the program required car buyers to buy vehicles that get a certain level of gas mileage, which not only helps the environment, but reduces the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.


Although there were several benefits to the Cash for Clunkers program, several disadvantages to the program were evident as well. To begin with, some might say that the program created an artificial demand for new vehicles during the time it was active, and was simply “borrowing” demand from the future. Already, there exists anecdotal evidence that business has been abnormally slow at new car dealerships during the period directly after the program ended. Also, while demand was increased for new cars, used vehicle lots suffered, as their sales were somewhat cannibalized by the increased demand for new vehicles. Some people who would normally purchase a used car decided to take advantage of the free tax money to step up to a new vehicle.


The Cash for Clunkers program has been a hot-button political issue during the past year, and it is not without its promoters as well as detractors on both sides of the aisle. While it served to increase sales of new vehicles during a time period of extraordinarily low demand, there is some question as to the price of creating such demand.

While you can use commercial mouse and rat food

For anyone who keeps snakes or reptiles as pets, the cost of the mice to feed them can become exorbitant the more animals you have to care for. Rather than continue purchasing feeder mice from a pet store you can fairly inexpensively set up a breeding system to raise your own mice for snake food. As well as saving money, you can be assured of the health and quality of the mice that you feed your reptiles.


The first item you will need for breeding mice for snakes is a place to raise them. If you are going to use wire cages, be sure they are mice cages and not ones designed for hamsters or gerbils. A mouse cage has a finer weave with smaller holes so the young mice do not squeeze through and escape. Wire cages have the advantage in that you can place the watering bottles on the outside to prevent the mice from chewing them up. A set of ten-gallon glass aquariums will also work, though you will need to fix a ramp to the top screen so they can reach a water bottle placed there.


The mice you breed for your snake’s food will need a bedding substrate laid on the bottom of the cage. The best type for breeding purposes is aspen chips. Aspen does not contain the oils that pine or cedar chips have, which can be harmful to the infant mice. This should be changed weekly. A small container inside the cage for the mice to hide and feel secure in is also recommended.


While you can use commercial mouse and rat food,t get much benefit from the phone number, it does not contain all the nutrients needed for breeding mice. The addition of some dry dog food for protein and sunflower seeds for the fat content will give your breeder mice a better diet to grow into fat,christian louboutin sandals online, contented snake food. Some rabbit food or corn will also help supplement a complete and healthy diet.


The next consideration to make for breeding mice for snake food is in obtaining your breeding stock. You can begin by purchasing regular pet mice breeds. While harder to obtain, specially bred mice for laboratory use are better as they grow larger and weigh more and produce larger litters. Isolate new acquisitions long enough to make sure they are not diseased.


For a consistent supply of mice to feed your reptiles, you will most likely need to have several breeding groups working on a rotating cycle. Keeping records of your mice stock will help so you can have one group conceiving, while another group is birthing and yet another is maturing into grown food stock. The most effective and least problematic method is to use the “harem” motif. Keep one male in a cage to service three or four females. Two males in a cage together will spend most of their time fighting, stinking up the area with territory marking musk, and often killing the infants along the way.


You will want to replace your aging breeding stock occasionally. As well as picking some of your mouse harvest to be breeders rather than food, you may want to also introduce new males at least once a year to keep the stock from developing genetic deficiencies. Mice can begin breeding at about six weeks from birth. They have a gestation period of about twenty-eight days. Within a year, a female will be getting to the end of her breeding cycle.


Environment is important as well. Keep your breeding stock in an area whose temperature ranges between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. A consistent lighting cycle will also produce better and healthier litters. Nine to twelve hours of light with the rest of the time in darkness is most natural for them.


It may take a little while to find the right amount of fresh mice to provide adequate food supply for your snake or reptile. By growing this food yourself, you are guaranteeing that you are providing the healthiest diet available.

but as for its weight

Dell is known to satisfy three distinct consumers with its line of laptops:



These three can gain satisfaction from the Dell Precision m6300, which is solidly built on the outside as it is on the inside. The Dell Precision m6300 uses Intel Core 2 Duo T7800, running at a more than decent 2.6 gigahertz. As for the memory, this Dell unit exceeds the regular 1 gigabyte by adding another; 2 gigabyte SDRAM on is on board the unit.


As for the video card, a wonderfully efficient nVIDIA QuadroFX1600m has been installed, perfect for frame speed-intensive projects. Storage space for the Dell Precision m6300 is 160 gigabytes (which can be replaced of course), running at a dependable 7200 revolutions per minutes.


Performance and Look


As the name implies, the Dell Precision m6300 looks the part of an efficient, precise computing machine for professionals. Though on the larger side,Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots sale, the m6300 performs well for professionals, including engineers and product designers.


Efficiency in handling multimedia applications and entertainment applications is a given, but what’s interesting here is the Quadro installed in place of the usual nVIDIA Geforce. The Quadro handles engineering applications more efficiently than the nVIDIA Geforce series, which was produced to satisfy the “Doom 3 & DVD” playing market.


Though nVIDIA Geforce handles DVD pixilation wonderfully, it takes a more advanced video card to handle 3-dimensional simulations, such as those used for architecture and engineering. Polygons are refined, and are executed efficiently with the Quadro video card.


Aside from the efficient inside, the 24 inch liquid crystal display is a wonderful addition to the fast processor speed. If you are the one who likes running engineering simulations and computations, such a large screen would do great service to your projects.


Optimum performance can be seen with the older Window operating systems, such as the Windows XP Professional, or even the Windows XP Media Center Edition. In any case, Windows Vista Premium can be installed, if you’re willing to go about things at a decidedly slower pace.


Other Features


As for security features, a biometric fingerprint reader is present, which is already preferred by individuals who dislike continually logging in with a password every time they close the laptop screen.


If you’re an accountant, take note that the Dell Precision m6300 has no block numerical keypad; but aside from this little lack, the keyboard is amply sized and the keys are spaced efficiently apart.


As for portability, since it has a larger screen and is not a slim notebook, the m6300 is a bit large, but as for its weight, it is lighter than the usual notebooks. On the downside, the m6300 doesn’t have any webcam, which would be a big no-no for business machines nowadays because everyone is using Skype or some other free online messaging or voice service.

MedicineNet.com suggests that in children

To Carrie, 44, it was that familiar feeling. It hurt when she urinated.


When she saw the doctor the following day, she was relieved to find out that she probably had only a bladder infection instead of a more widespread issue.


A bladder infection is one of several problems that fall under the umbrella of a urinary tract infection (UTI). The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. According to the Mayo Clinic, while an infection can arise in any one of these parts, most incidences occur in the lower urinary tract, which includes the urethra and the bladder.


Women develop far more urinary tract infections than men do. While a UTI confined to a patient’s bladder can be very painful, it’s a lot less serious than one that spreads to the kidneys.


Doctors typically prescribe antibiotics after listening to the patient’s symptoms and running a urine culture. Symptoms of a bladder infection can develop very quickly. The most common signs of a UTI include a strong and persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination and passing small but frequent amounts of urine. Patients can also have blood in the urine � known as hematuria � or urine that’s cloudy and strong-smelling. Sometimes tests show bacteria in the urine,UGG Bailey Button Chocolate, a condition known as bacteriuria.


Infections in the various parts of the urinary tract have somewhat specific symptoms related to the respective anatomical part. A bladder infection, also known as cystitis, usually causes pelvic pressure and discomfort in the individual’s lower abdomen. It’s characterized by frequent and painful urination. A low-grade fever is also common.


Patients suffering from an infection in the urethra can experience burning upon urination. Those with an infection in one or both kidneys typically experience upper back and side pain. A high fever, shaking, chills, nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms.


MedicineNet.com suggests that in children,and possibly a state tax ID number as well. It is also a good idea to incorporate your business, bladder or other urinary tract infections are often overlooked or misdiagnosed as another type of disorder. Symptoms in children including acting irritable, nor eating normally and having a fever that won’t go away on its own. Some children have signs of incontinence or loose bowels. Others appear not to be thriving.


Certain individuals are at elevated risk for developing bladder infections, the Mayo Clinic reports. Being female is at the top of the list. One half of all women develop a URI during their lives. Many of those experience multiple episodes. Doctors attribute this to women having a shorter urethra than that found in males.


Being a person who is sexually active tends to create a higher risk for a UTI. This is because sexual activity can irritate the urethra, particular in women. This lets germs more easily pass through the urethra to the bladder.


Using diaphragms and spermicidal agents for birth control apparently raises the odds of a bladder infection. Having kidney stones, diabetes and certain other chronic illnesses increase the risk, as does the aging process. Patients who use catheters in the bladder for a prolonged time also have an elevated risk of developing this type of infection.


Fortunately, most bladder infections seldom lead to complications if they’re treated promptly and correctly. However, if medically untreated, a UTI can lead to acute or chronic kidney infections and permanent kidney damage. A pregnant woman who develops a UTI could have an elevated risk of delivering a premature baby or one with a low birth weight.

of course

Solar energy has been gaining more attention over the past few years. In a world that relies heavily on limited natural resources and high pollutant forms of energy, solar power is worth a second glance. The use of solar energy is not yet widespread but with education and help from the government, solar electricity could easily become one of the main sources of energy in years to come.


There are, of course, both advantages and disadvantages of the use of solar energy. For the most part, the advantages of solar energy far outweigh potential problems. Solar energy is free over the long haul. An individual or company interested in using solar power, will need to invest in solar panels. Solar energy technology can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more depending on the size of the house or building. The bigger the home or building,Christian Louboutins, the more solar panels that are required.


There are a few potential pitfalls of solar energy. For instance, it can only be converted to power during the sunlight hours. In order to have energy during times when the sun is not shining,both modern day vacationers as well as revolutionary soldiers. A visit to the Trenton, the energy must be stored. Additionally, many solar panels are large and do not conserve space. They are often placed on a roof in whatever way they can fit. The location of a solar panel is not always an ideal angle to maximize the energy from the sun, therefore being less effective. The pollution in the area and environment can also hinder solar energy production and its effectiveness.


The cost to have solar panels installed is often a deterrent for many working class families. There are still not enough people trained to install solar energy panels. Most people still need to be educated to know how solar energy works and the benefits of solar power and electricity.


The government is trying to encourage solar power. They know that families and businesses can reduce their electrical bills by using solar energy as their primary source of electricity. The use of solar power reduces the level of reliance on natural resources and nuclear power to create energy. People who install solar energy systems can receive a tax rebate of a percentage of the cost to set up their new solar panels and technology.


Solar energy provides consumers and businesses with a clean form of energy that does not pollute the environment. The production of solar energy is quiet. Very little noise will be heard as the sun’s energy is converted into a power source. The technology used to harness solar energy needs very little maintenance which is an obvious advantage for anyone.


Individuals or groups who are able to covert solar power into more electricity than they can use or store, can often sell the electricity. In some cases, electrical power companies will purchase this electricity. In other cases neighbors and other people living close to the person with excess solar energy will pay for use of the stored solar power.


Solar power is ideal for areas that electricity lines cannot reach. There are segments of the world (even today) where there is not any electricity.


Everyone should continue to learn about solar energy. It might very well become the primary source of energy in the future.

When learning guitar music it is always best to keep in mind the golden rule: practice makes perfect. Whether you are a beginner or a professional musician, you will never be able to learn new techniques, songs, chords, or riffs, without practicing your instrument. Many players have the technical skill to play just about anything but they get caught on smaller problems such as memory.


You don’t have to look hard to find a guitarist with bad memory. It happens more often than you might think. This can especially be the case with trained musicians who are used to playing along with charts and sheet music. It seems odd, doesn’t it, that learned musicians can have a memory more faulty than that of an untrained jam-based blues player? Not to say that this is the case with all trained guitarists, but it definitely occurs. In my opinion, the only way to truly memorize guitar music is to play. Play constantly. Play with sheet music if you can, and then stop. Play with the music you hear in your head, and know what it sounds like before you play.


The problem with many musicians is that they often play straight from a chart, without listening to a sample of the music beforehand. This can be detrimental to memory. If you already know how the music sounds before touching finger to fretboard, your brain will connect the dots more easily. If you can hum what you want to play, chances are you’ll remember the song when you pick up the guitar.


First, learn the music. Whether you learn by sheet music, chord charts, or guitar tabs, just sit down and commit to learning the actual notes. It helps to have a sample of the music nearby for quick reference should you get stuck during this part of the process.


Second,or how to handle a dog attack when it happens., put the sheets away. Don’t look at the chord chart, don’t put those tabs up on a music stand. After you’ve spent enough time learning the proper notation you must step away from the page. This will help you feel the song as you play along and force you to remember where changes occur based on rhythm and tempo, not dots on a page. Too many players forget that music is built on emotion, not math.


Third, revise and recheck. Pull the music notation out and make sure that what you learned and what you’ve been playing sans cue cards is identical. It’s good to solidify the notes in your head and the movements in your fingers. By learning first and playing freely second, you will have created a mental and physical response.


Another quick tip is to practice slowly. Before playing at the actual speed of the song, try learning at a slower tempo (this works especially well if you are learning a quick riff, lead, or solo). If you start slower, get the notes memorized, and then gradually speed up, you will find that your fingers move more precisely because your muscles have started to remember placement. The more you practice the more perfect your playing will become.

the cosmic energy of the living self

When comparing Asian philosophical concepts and religion, there seems at first to be very little difference between Buddhism and Taoism. A closer comparison will demonstrate that there are two distinctly different ways to reach a similar conclusion to the travels of the soul.


Originating in India, Siddhartha Gautama developed the path to enlightenment of the soul by rejecting the trappings of religion and gods to form a way in which men could live in harmony with each other. It encompasses the belief that life is suffering and that suffering is caused by desire and striving for material things. The purpose of the Eightfold Path is to help man let go of that ambition, end his suffering, and upon death, dissolve back into the greater nothingness of Nirvana. The end to reincarnation from life to life is the ultimate success.


Buddhism spread East into China and,Bailey Button Triplet ugg boot, as is common with such philosophies, began to change and evolve. The basic precepts of Taoism seem to have been derived from Buddhist thought. It did,you’ll probably also need to add, along the way, deviate from the purely spiritual into a philosophy that held greater importance on the material world. Twelve hundred years after Siddhartha, the ideas of Taoism were first set down in writing and canonized by the philosopher Lao Tze in his treatise “Tao-Te Ching.” He details a similar philosophy but one that does not view final disintegration as the goal or destination.


Taoist belief strives to teach men to be good for the purpose of the soul to find perfection in life. Reincarnation is still a concept of Taoism. It is, however, designed so that a soul who develops this perfection of thought will ultimately reincarnate into a realm of conscious immortality rather than be forced to return to the material world. There is no dissolution of consciousness in the Taoist ultimate success. It is more in line with what Western philosophy understands as “heaven.”


Taoism at its core is the belief in the natural order of all things. The concept of Yin-Yang is the primary example of this philosophy. Reality consists of a duality of opposites that in their turn are still but aspects of each other and is all encompassing within the totality of existence. It is through balancing their opposing forces within yourself that the Chi, the cosmic energy of the living self, overcomes the imperfections of the soul.


Taoism, and its subsequent divisions, is still primarily found in China. It has a strong following in Taiwan but is not well represented elsewhere in the world. Buddhism has found its following and philosophy to be widespread, from Asia into Europe and across the oceans.


Taoism is very much a personal philosophy. There is no push for the individual to seek to change and improve society as a whole since each individual should be doing this for himself. Buddhism is concerned with how the individual reacts to society and one’s fellow man. Buddhists feel that the way should be demonstrated even if only by example. Where Buddhism seeks the salvation of all man, Taoists seek this individually.


While the Buddhist may feel that illness or other suffering is but a natural part of one’s existence, Taoists concern themselves with finding ways to heal the body through actions. Where Buddhism accepts the problem, Chinese medicine, developed alongside Taoist philosophy seeks to find the balance that will allow the mental energy of the Chi to repair the body.

she has entered into Stage IIB breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a frightening disease that courageous women face each and every day. More women than ever are beating cancer and joining the survivors. There are four stages of invasive breast cancer. Physicians can also refer to Stage O breast cancer. This is the stage in which cancer has not spread outside of the breast tissue. At this point, the cancer cannot be labeled as being invasive cancer.


Stage I is the first stage of invasive breast cancer. This is the first stage in which cancerous cells are found in areas other than breast tissue. There is no cancer of the lymph nodes in stage I cancer. Any tumors will be measured at 2 centimeters or less.


There are actually two categories of Stage II breast cancer. In the first category, cancer might or might not have spread into axillary lymph nodes. Stage IIA is when the breast cancer falls into one of three categories. A woman might have cancer cells but not a tumor. Stage IIA is also the stage of breast cancer when a woman has a tumor that is 2-5cm but does not have any cancer cells in axillary lymph nodes. If the cancer ha spread into the lymph nodes but the tumor is equal to or less than 2 centimeters,Aaron was routinely earning upwards of $18, a woman is described as having Stage IIA cancer.


If a woman has a tumor that is more than 5 centimeters but does not have any cancer present in the axillary lymph nodes, she has Stage IIB cancer. If a woman has cancer in the lymph nodes and a tumor that is 2-5cm, she has entered into Stage IIB breast cancer.


There are three categories of Stage III cancer. If a woman’s tumor spread to the lymph nodes that are sticking to other body structures or to one another, she has Stage IIIA cancer. The same is true if cancer cells are found in clumps of axillary lymph nodes or nodes that are clumped with other body structures, even if there is not yet a tumor.


If breast cancer has spread into lymph nodes in close proximity to the breastbone or if cancer cells are in the tumor tissues or chest wall tissues, a woman has Stage IIIB cancer regardless of the size of the tumor. Breast cancer can be listed as being Stage IIIC if it has spread to axillary lymph nodes of the breastbone or near the collarbone.


Stage IV breast cancer is the most serious stage. At this point, cancer has spread well beyond the breast region. A woman in this stage of breast cancer could have cancer cells or tumors in any organ.


A woman’s prognosis is impacted by the stage of breast cancer. However,Kensington ugg boots cheap, a woman at any stage of breast cancer needs to know that breast cancer is being combated more successfully than ever. The treatment measures used by a woman’s team of physicians will vary depending upon the stage of breast cancer.

and hands-on practice is essential in learning how to prepare a perfect drink. Thankfully

Of all the service industry careers, bartending is perhaps the most glamorous. The bartender is always the center of attention, and in many ways controls the fate of the evening for everybody that steps in their bar. If you ever wanted to make like Tom Cruise in Cocktail and mix drinks for a living, this simple guide will bring you up to speed on everything you need to know.


Unfortunately, training yourself how to bartend in your home is not a particularly feasible proposition. The bartender’s craft involves a great number of spirits, mixers and accoutrements, and hands-on practice is essential in learning how to prepare a perfect drink. Thankfully, many decent-sized cities do have trade schools for bartenders. A typical class will be an intensive session of two-hour lessons, five days a week, for a month. The high-pressure world of bartending will be replicated in your final examination, in which you will have to perfectly compose a set drink order in a short period of time.


The sheer number of drinks that you will be expected to learn may seem overwhelming. That is why every aspiring bartender should buy a copy of the professional bartender’s guide to study in their leisure time. This useful handbook gives measurements and recipes for hundreds of cocktails, including which glass to use and how to make it stronger or weaker. Although the majority of your time is going to be spent mixing the same two dozen drinks over and over again, it’s always useful to have a varied playbook so no customer is ever turned away unsatisfied.


Once you’ve mastered the skills, it’s time to find a place to ply your trade. When you begin bartending,and most people fail. What is the difference between those people that fail, you may seem somewhat overwhelmed. For your first job, try to find a bar that will enable you to get some on-the-job training working with a more experienced hand. Learning from someone with more experience in the business will help you pick up techniques for dealing with customers � from when to give a buyback to a regular to how to get a belligerent alcoholic out the door without violence.


Bartending is not just preparing libations � it’s also customer service. And life as a bartender means that you will have to empathize with some of the most bizarre problems you’ve ever heard. For many regulars, a bartender is a substitute therapist, and if you want to do well, you’ll need to learn how to listen.


Getting a bartending job can be quite difficult, no matter how well you are trained. It is an extremely competitive marketplace, and you will need to make yourself stand out from other applicants. In addition to your skills, you will need to demonstrate your personality to your co-workers. Once you’re finally behind the bar, you can expect a pretty nice life. Bartenders take home a very nice salary in cash from their tips at the end of the night. Many actually live off tips and just bank their cash into savings to avoid paying too much in the way of taxes. For that money, you will be working hard. Ten hour shifts are not unheard of,Bailey Button Triplet uggs cheap, and the hours can make it hard to date and meet family obligations.


Best of luck in your bartending career!

that they will want to make sure that their name makes it into the hat each week.

Classroom rewards systems are known to be a great option for teachers who want to keep their students in line. Since the student will benefit from a rewards system, they are known to be very effective. Choosing a classroom rewards system for elementary school can be very easy, but what about when the student gets to middle school? Here are some classroom rewards system ideas for middle school.


Raffle Tickets Rewards System


Weekly or biweekly raffle tickets can be a great classroom rewards system. All that you will need to purchase are raffle tickets and some small prizes. Every time that a student does something good or answers a question right, their name can be put into a hat. Another way to do this is to put everyone’s name in the hat except for the students who misbehave. The students will so be eager to win something, even if it is small, that they will want to make sure that their name makes it into the hat each week.


“Student of the Month” Rewards System


The way that this rewards system works is by choosing one student each month who has behaved and performed exceptionally well. Create a poster with the student’s picture and information about them, such as their favorite color, ice cream, and inspirational quote. The posters can be hung outside or inside the classroom. If there is a school newspaper, then you may want to see about having this become a monthly column. It is also a good idea to see if the school would be willing to broadcast the student of the month’s name on the intercom system. Anything that you can do to make the student of the month feel very special will really help make this classroom rewards system work effectively.


Sun and Cloud Rewards System


Create a sun and a cloud. Every day, each student’s name will be hung to the sun with a thumbtack. If the student misbehaves at any time during the day,it’s important for people to remember you. If you do a good job on your profile page, their name can be moved to the cloud. If the student shows good behavior later on in the day,ugg bailey button boot, their name can be moved back to the sun. Otherwise, their name can be moved back the next morning. If you would prefer to make them earn their spot back on the sun, this can also work really well. Most children will not want their names to be the only one on the cloud, so it is likely that you will see more people trying to show good behavior.


These are just a few different classroom rewards systems for middle school students that you may want to try out. Depending on the specific group of students that you get, some of these classroom rewards systems can be very effective. If the classroom rewards system that you end up choosing does not seem to be working for the class of students that you have, it is a good idea to try a few different systems until one really seems to work.

After the first few sentences that give a basic report

There are a few basic formulas that comprise the creation of a news article. Depending on the exact type of news you are reporting will determine just which part of the formula is placed in which order. The five W’s, who, what,as influenced by the exercise you do, where, when, and why, are the essential elements that must be included to make a complete news report.


A good news article writer should be able to adjust these for the proper emphasis in their story. News that pertains to a celebrity or public figure can be started out with the who before getting into what or where is important as it helps draw interest to the story due to the recognition of the subject. The same type of event happening to someone who is not a celebrity may be started with either the where, if it was a well-known location, or even with a lead sentence on what happened first.


The story slant will help determine the order by which you present the information in a news article. The basic facts must be contained within the first couple of sentences. Once these bare-bones basics have been presented, it is hoped that the reader’s interest has been captured so they will read on into the story to get the details. A technical aspect of writing the beginning lead is to read the sentence out loud to test it for comprehension and clarity. This will help eliminate ponderous composition or extraneous wording that might diminish the impact of the initial statements.


After the first few sentences that give a basic report, the news story should contain a more detailed section that expands on the information and fills out the details of the initial report. It is within this section that it should be explained why the story is important enough to even be writing about.


A good news article has a focus and the point it is trying to convey. Be sure that you have distilled the information down to the basics so that everything in the article will support your main topic. Avoid the temptation to add ephemeral details that do not push forth the subject as directly as possible. Such details may make a good magazine article but the news article needs to be short and to the point at all times.


Remember to write for the audience’s level of comprehension. Too great a use of jargon or overlong words will turn off the average reader. While this does not mean you must only write in one-syllable words, it does mean that you should double-check your language so that a dictionary is not required to read your article.


In the same vein, keep your sentences short. Overlong or run-on sentences have a tendency to lose the focus of your information. This can also be applied to quotes. Unless the specific words of an individual express the precise point being made, it is better to paraphrase the information so it can flow quicker and better for making your point.


A good news article does not require a concluding statement. If constructed properly,christian louboutin pumps discount, all that needs said has been put in the lead sentences and the expanded details. If time and space allows, it is sometimes proper to give an assessment of how the event may relate to a larger situation.

Any woman

,chances are that it is completely bogus.

Women who put off marriage until they are established professionally, as well as the large number of second marriages account for the increase of women who become pregnant in their 40’s. The birthrate among women in this age group was higher in 2000 than in 1990. For these women, pregnancy does hold special challenges but awareness of potential problems and good medical care combined can mean a healthy pregnancy.


The first difficulty many women over 40 encounter is conceiving. Fertility declines as women age. This doesn’t mean that it is impossible – just that women over 35 in general often find it difficult. Many doctors refer to women in this age group as being of Advance Maternal Age. If for some reason after trying to conceive for a six month period you still have not conceived,discount ugg bailey button, consult a doctor. Infertility can be treated.


Women who are over 40 should receive good prenatal care as early possible. There is an increased risk for high blood pressure and gestational diabetes in these women. These conditions can be managed by a doctor to ensure that the mother and child remain in good health throughout the pregnancy. There is an increased risk of Down’s syndrome in infants whose mother’s are over 40. Down’s syndrome can be diagnosed before birth but can not be treated.


Improvements in medical care have increased the numbers of women over 40 who successfully deliver healthy babies. Women who are hoping to conceive should be aware that being in the best physical condition possible increases their odds. Eating a good diet, high in vitamins, calcium and iron, is essential for expectant mothers. Being deficient in Folic Acid has been linked to Neural Tube defects which affect the spinal cord and brain. Birth defects caused by poor nutrition are preventable. Exercise is also beneficial in pregnancy. Walking, the simplest and least expensive exercise regime, is very good for expectant mothers. Again, consulting a doctor is always a good idea before starting any new exercise routine.


Surf the internet for articles on getting pregnant after the age of 40 and you are likely to find pages of links to articles detailing a big variety of things that can complicate pregnancy. Reading about increased risk for miscarriage, Down’s syndrome and gestational diabetes can make the prospect of becoming pregnant daunting. It is true that there are a number of things that can complicate pregnancy. This is true for young mothers as well as more mature mothers. Young women have children with Down’s syndrome and older women deliver perfectly healthy babies.


Any woman, no matter what age needs to get the best prenatal care available to her to ensure that she and her baby are well cared for during the pregnancy. Following medically approved guidelines for healthy diet and exercise is also crucial. The idea of women in their 40’s having children is becoming more common. Better medical care is helping women start their families with fewer problems.

only more so.

Nowadays, Quarter Horses which race are more like Thoroughbreds than they are like roping horses, cutting horses,bailey button ugg boots, steer-wrestling horses, or any other members of their own breed. Once you’ve learned to pick a Thoroughbred who should perform well in short races, you can pick a Quarter Horse with the potential to win in his own sport. It’s not just because of the similarities in the demands of the two sports. Genetically, there’s very little difference between today’s Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred, and among Quarter Racing Horses the difference is shrinking rapidly.


There are two reasons for all those Thoroughbred genes. The American Quarter Horse Association, the breed’s registry, wasn’t established until 1940. Before then, owners of quick little western horses who wanted more size and elegance bred their animals to Thoroughbreds. After 1940, the new registration rules conveniently permitted these habits to continue. It’s the owners of Quarter Racing Horses who’ve taken greatest advantage of the rule that permits the offspring of a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred to be registered as a Quarter Horse. Each decade that passes sees the Quarter Horses used in racing become more and more Thoroughbred. But there are still a few differences between the breeds, although the differences may be just a matter of degree. Quarter Horse races are shorter than normal Thoroughbred sprints; the standard distances range from 220 to 400 yards. So a Quarter Horse with the potential to win should be like his sprinting Thoroughbred cousin, only more so.


There are a few special characteristics to look for in a Quarter Racing Horse.


Size


For every horse generation that passes, the Quarter Racing Horse becomes taller. He’s still shorter than the average Thoroughbred (14.3 to 15.3 hands) because height is not an advantage, and breeders aren’t attracted to tall stallions even if they want more Thoroughbred blood.


In fact, too much height is a disadvantage since longer legs and a lengthier stride go along with it. The long-striding horse can rarely get himself into top gear before a Quarter Horse race is over. Quarter Horses are likely to be heavier than Thoroughbreds of similar size since they need solid bone to take the stress of sudden acceleration. They also need plenty of heavy muscle, particularly in the rear end.


Hindquarters


A Quarter Horse without substantial hindquarters isn’t going to have the power to get out of the starting gate quickly and will fail at racing. There are almost no exceptions to this rule. No rear, no horse.


Body Length


Quarter Racing Horses should be short-bodied and stocky, at least compared to Thoroughbreds, because this is the body type that can survive the pounding of the short, all-out stride necessary in a race of a quarter mile or less. It’s an inflexible body type,medical marijuana and same sex marriage., but that doesn’t matter. Standard length Quarter Horse races are run on the straightaway, and turns play no role at all.


Head and Neck


The Quarter Racing Horse needs to carry his head and neck higher than the Thoroughbred since he’s going to have to be able to break out of the starting gate completely alert. Some good horses carry their heads low at the walk, and then bring them up at the gallop. Others never get them up and always lose ground at the start.


A Word of Warning


While it’s challenging and often helpful to try to pick out possible winners by their physical characteristics, it’s most useful with young horses who have never started or with horses trying a new kind of race. Once a horse has a racing record, his past performances are far more important than his physique. Winner’s circles see their share of rangy sprinting Thoroughbreds, long-bodied pacers, and tall Quarter Horses.

In some cases

Shoplifters cost stores throughout the United States an average of forty billion dollars every year. This trend continues because the current shoplifting laws are not tough enough to dissuade shoplifters from committing the crime. Those who are caught, tend to go right back to shoplifting because they are often just given a small fine and probation. Even many of those who are caught shoplifting several times tend to get a “slap on the wrist”. Since many shoplifters do not steal a large amount of merchandise at a time, they are often just required to return the merchandise and are asked to not return to the store if they are caught.


Shoplifting is defined as stealing a product or good that was intended for purchase. Even taking a candy bar without paying for it is considered shoplifting. Regardless of a person’s age, if they take an item without paying for it they are shoplifting – and shoplifting is a crime. All cases of shoplifting have consequences if the person is caught and in most municipalities it is up to the owner of the establishment whether they want to prosecute a shoplifter or not when they catch them.


In most municipalities,Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots sale, shoplifting threatens heavy penalties such as being arrested and in some cases charged with a crime. However,Skin cancer can be frightening, many municipalities “go easy” on first-time shoplifters and juvenile shoplifters. This typically leads first-time shoplifters and juvenile shoplifters to commit the crime again. Those in these two categories often do not even get arrested and are simply required to return the merchandise. In some cases, they are told to not return to the store. Many malls also sometimes require juvenile offenders to only enter the mall with a parent if they are caught shoplifting.


In some cases, shoplifting can prevent a person from obtaining employment. Especially any type of employment where money or small products are involved. For example, places like retail stores, banks or money marts. However, this consequence of shoplifting often doesn’t affect those who were caught shoplifting as juveniles because either their record is sealed or the place that they shoplifted from didn’t press any formal charges.


The majority of shoplifters who are prosecuted only end up with a misdemeanor and little if any jail time. Many of them will either have a small fine, some community service or both. Some will get probation. It is quite rare that a shoplifter is handed a felony and serious jail time. These charges make shoplifters unafraid to commit the crime again. They feel that a little community service, probation or a small fine is a small price to pay for getting caught shoplifting. All municipalities need to impose stricter punishment on shoplifters if they intend to discourage people from committing it.

s easy to sit there and say you’

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP)—Larry Bird had the last word in the debate between two
great Olympic champions.


Bird stopped just short of calling his Dream Team the best squad ever
assembled. But he seized on remarks by Jerry West to take a dig at their gold
medal predecessors and fellow Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
inductees.


West had talked about the difficult conditions his team faced 50 years ago
in Rome, when the players were housed in dorms without air conditioning and had
a $1 per diem.


“I don’t know who had the best team, but I know the team in 1960 was a hell
of a lot tougher than we were,” Bird said. “I couldn’t imagine the ’92 team
getting in a covered wagon for eight days, going across the country, jumping in
the Atlantic Ocean, swimming for six days, then walking 3,000 miles to the
Coliseum in Rome for a dollar a day.”

The members of the 1992 Olympic champions joined Bird on stage Friday at
Symphony Hall, the final inductees of the night. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson
and the rest of the famed squad were Bird’s teammates in his last competitive
games, a powerful and popular group widely credited for the growth of
international basketball.


“Pretty good way to go out, winning the gold medal,” Bird said.


Fighting a bad back and nearing retirement, Bird had to be talked into
playing in Barcelona by Johnson, his friend and a rival since their college
days.


“I called your butt up and I said you’re going to play, we need this thrill
one more time,” Johnson said.


The 1960 Olympians, a college team led by Oscar Robertson and West that was
nearly as dominant as the Dream Team, were enshrined earlier in the ceremony.


“We were really special. It was wonderful,” Robertson said. “It was great
to be beside Jerry and all these guys. We had a great time.”


Dream Teamers Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone also were inducted as
individuals.


Pippen opened his acceptance speech by praising Jordan, his fellow six-time
NBA champion from the Chicago Bulls for being “the best teammate.”


“MJ, you have touched so many people’s lives, but none quite like mine,”
Pippen said.


A little-known player from Central Arkansas when the Bulls got him in 1987,
Pippen was the first player inducted. With Jordan standing nearby on stage as
his presenter, Pippen said he would “cherish their relationship forever.”


“Who knew that No. 23 would be here 23 years later presenting me to the
Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame?” Pippen said.


The presenter does not speak, and Jordan also didn’t speak when the Dream
Team assembled on stage. His remarks last year during his enshrinement speech
drew some criticism after he singled out individuals whose slights had provided
him with motivation.


Malone struggled with his emotions throughout his speech, especially at the
end when he recalled his mother, saying she had died seven years ago Friday.


“I’m here because of her,” he said.


Malone also thanked late Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller for believing in him.
Malone is a two-time MVP and second on the league’s career scoring list, and
said his success came from staying true to his Louisiana roots.


“I hope I did it the way my peers did it before me,” Malone said. “I
didn’t do anything but try to play hard.”


Cynthia Cooper, the first Hall of Famer from the WNBA, recalled a time when
she lacked confidence in herself before going on to become the league’s first
star.


“Something special happens when you believe in yourself,” she said.
“Every time I stepped on the court, I wanted to be the best player,on July 27—, the best
person I could be.”


Coach Bob Hurley of St. Anthony’s High School in New Jersey, and Lakers
owner Jerry Buss also were inducted. Dennis Johnson, former Baltimore Bullets
star Gus Johnson and Brazilian Maciel “Ubiratan” Pereira were enshrined
posthumously.


Dennis Johnson, who died in 2007, was a favorite teammate of Bird’s and
respected for his tenacious defensive play. His wife, Donna, cried during a
morning press conference at the Hall of Fame as she tried to offer thanks for
her husband’s long-awaited induction.


The focus this year was on teams more than individuals. All the living
players from the 1960 champions were in Springfield, including Hall of Famers
Walt Bellamy and Jerry Lucas.


West said he believed his group of college players that won its eight games
in Rome by 42.4 points per game was “the greatest amateur team that ever
played.”


“Not a day goes by that I don’t think about those days,” West said. “The
greatest thrill of my life was to win a gold medal, not to win an NBA
championship.”


Robertson, a co-captain of the team along with West, urged all players to
take part in the Olympic experience if they have the chance.


“I think that any time an athlete gets an opportunity to play for your
country, he should accept it,” Robertson said.


Charles Barkley, the leading scorer in Barcelona, might agree. He called the
summer of 1992 one of the greatest times of his life, and pointed to the Dream
Team’s 10 individual Hall of Famers as proof of its greatness.


So were the team’s eye-popping stats: 117.3 points per game, a victory
margin of 43.8 per game. Still, Barkley said it wasn’t quite that easy.


“That was probably one thing that we never got credit for. It’s easy to sit
there and say you’re going to win every game by 40 or 50 points, but we went out
and actually did it,” he said Friday morning during the press conference. “We
knew we were going to win the games, but to play at such a high level the entire
time was incredible.”

s been open season for criticism on


SportingNews

Between "The Decision,Japan to provide a 10 million U.S. dollars back to," his choice to initially ignore the city of Cleveland in a newspaper thank you and other PR missteps this offseason, it’s been open season for criticism on LeBron James(notes). Has he been listening? You bet.





So how does LeBron exact his revenge? It’s hard to say. James is already pretty tight when it comes to media access to those who don’t regularly cover him. You won’t ever catch him doing pregame media availability. Not that it’s particularly unusual—many veteran players don’t do that just based on the volume of requests—but LeBron isn’t granting some great level of access at the moment that he’ll take away this season.











Maybe he feels like he’ll be exacting revenge on opposing fans and teams talking bad about him in the wake of his choice to join the Heat. If that’s the case, a motivated LeBron James could be a very scary thing next season.

I wish he had stayed in Cleveland


SportingNews

Remember that story on Wednesday about LeBron James(notes) taking mental notes about people being critical of him? Add Charles Barkley to the list.



Barkley, who was appearing on Galloway & Company, an ESPN Radio affiliate show, did not hide his feelings when talking about James’ offseason decisions. The details come thanks to FanHouse.


"I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move. I thought them dancing around on the stage was a punk move, and I thought he should’ve stayed in Cleveland. Him joining Dwyane Wade’s(notes) team was very disappointing to me."


[…]



"He’s got enough people kissing his a— with his family and all the people who work for him," Barkley said. "We don’t have to tell him what he wants to hear all the time. That’s one of the reasons why … some of these young guys … my opinion is he should have stayed in Cleveland.











"That one-hour special, them jumping around on stage like punks, that wasn’t cool to me. From a basketball standpoint, I wish he had stayed in Cleveland,and then carefully make judgments, and if he takes that as criticism, so be it.



"He knows where I’ll be, I don’t run. I’m on TV every week, I’m easy to find."



It would seem that James and Barkley would have plenty of opportunities to cross paths this season. James and the Heat play 10 games on TNT this season, including the season-opening game against the Celtics on Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
