| | Birthday Blues are done | | 2008-07-12 18:50:00 | | Well the birthday party was a smash, and I ended up getting him a Nerf gun that shoots big nerf type balls. I think I made a good choice, because after I thought about it, I realized he is more of a outdoors sports type kid. Not too many action figures for this little guy.Speaking of Little Dudes, we have a new member to our family. His name is little dude, and he belongs to the amphibian family, please welcome "Little Dude" Little Dude is a tree frog, that got swept into Grandma's House, so Natalie had to rescue him. I guess they eat crickets?? Will keep you posted on Little Dudes life. We may be setting him free soon. I don't know if I want to feed something live crickets everyday, pardon me but I'm more of a city girl...... | | By: Living in the Moment | | |

| Blackberry Blues - Part II | | 2008-07-10 23:29:00 | | THURSDAY, JULY 10My friend Allen Barra has an article in The Village Voice today about the new Yankee Stadium and the problems facing baseball today. He's also working on an updated version of his classic, Inventing Wyatt Earp, where your humble blogger is mentioned. I traded the previous Blackberry Curve for a different one. Same problems - email crashing, no connecting to the Mac. I've just about reached the point of no return with it.

The problem I am having is what in the world do boys play with these days. I struggle with this every year, I have 3 nephews and what do boys like to do? I can handle the girl party's easily, hands down, blind folded and one hand tied behind my back. I spend so much time in Target trying to find a "toy" that will be in the latest craze. I ask my friends that have boys, and they are like oh, get him transformers, magnetix, this or that, and I probably looking at them like they are talking Greek to me. I think one year, in Target I found a boy in the toy section about the age I was looking for and had him pick out something. His Mom was very understanding that I wasn't some freak trying to hurt him. lolIs Nerf stuff still a hit with boys, do they like that stuff? I worry about buying transformers or action figures because I don't know what he already has. I thou | | By: Living in the Moment | | |

| | The Googly Woogly Blues | | 2008-06-12 11:16:41 | | I thought I'd be clever and change by blog settings. Part of the problem has been the recent choice of template. I thought it was OK but it didn't load up properly. Now I'm no techy geek, but I am not internet challenged either. When Blogger first set up, I joined. Now it's part of Google and I think that's quite fine. But it is a platform in its own image. It doesn't necessarily sit well with other stuff that has been "introduced". A lot of templates are rejected by Blogger, so getting one that fits seems to be part of the package.This blogging business is all very much self taught for most of us. I remember going out and getting a moped years ago as a late teenager. When I first tried the thing I thought I would never get the hang of it. All too scary! Then bravado kicked in and I got used to it. A top speed of 30 mph suddenly became rather tame. I went at 4o downhill and the engine blew up.

| | Life settlement solution: take care of your post-retirement blues | | 2008-05-31 20:51:35 | | The harsh reality of life is that no matter how hard we try, there are some things which are simply unpredictable. Perhaps, the only thing which we can do to face such a situation is, be prepared with resource which can help you diffuse it and having money is one method that can help you out in tackling this. Life settlement solution, as the very term says, helps you in settling and leading your retired life in peace. Retired life can get really difficult for you if you do not have the proper money and other resources to take care of all your needs. Today, with the invention of so many luxury items, we have become accustomed to using them and some of these luxuries have become a necessity for us. We work hard to make sure that we get a chance at using all these luxuries, but once we retire from work, having all these things in our life becomes difficult.Life settlement solution is a financial transaction that helps senior citizens to take care of their financial and other needs, post-r | | By: Finance fantasy | | |
| | Ansiedad Posparto: Consejos Para Lidiar Con Los “Baby Blues” | | 2008-05-29 09:31:00 | | Durante los nueve meses de embarazo esperaste a tu bebé con ansias y grandes expectativas. Sin embargo, ahora que lo tienes en tus brazos te sientes triste, ansiosa y hasta desinteresada. Experimentar estos sentimientos luego de dar a luz no significa que seas una mala madre. Debido a los cambios hormonales, después del parto, es normal sentir ansiedad, enojo, frustración y desamparo. A ese vaivén en tu estado de ánimo se le conoce como “Baby Blues”. A los cambios hormonales se le suma también el agotamiento posterior al nacimiento y la gran responsabilidad que sientes al tener un nuevo bebé. A medida que vaya pasando el tiempo te irás sintiendo mejor. Aquí te ofrezco unas sugerencias para que puedas lidiar con los “Baby Blues” y sientas que tienes mayor control de tu vida:1.

there's no heat between me and you
and although your nakedness
raw goodness
primeval wantonness
lays heavily upon me
there's no heat between me and you
nothing
just your dead skin cells

night of frottage
and sleeping sweat
until morning
when you just yawn
reach across and
switch me off

leaving me flat

| | The Perfect Woman’s Birthday Blues | | 2008-05-22 22:54:00 | | Of Jamaican-Chinese descent and a one-time runway queen, Naomi Campbell has turned 38 and is still as tempestuous as ever. She was seen rushing from P Diddy’s VIP party in tears and visibly upset. What could the woman have to cry for when she has everything anyone would die for? Once upon a time she used to be the ‘Perfect Woman’ and if appearances are anything to go by, she still is. The title I am referring to was awarded to Naomi in a research study conducted by the University of Gdansk in Poland. The scientists found that the perceptions of beauty are ruled principally by the span of the thighs and the length of the calves. And Naomi apparently, possesses the perfect ratio of both. Read more about this finding here. It’s not surprising then for plastic surgeons to come across cosmetic surgery cases where women request lower body sculpting and altering surgeries to conform to Naomi’s proportions.

In fact, every borrower section is getting great benefits from this competition, as all banks and financial institutions are offering highly beneficial schemes to allure borrowers. They are not only offering low interest rates but also trying to cover each and every requirement of their consumers.

In fact, these changes are opening doors of better financial opportunities and providing every borrower with instant financial aid at the time of financial crisis. Since borrowers are getting a wide range of solutions for every problem, they often get confused whether their choice is profitable or not.

| | How to Beat the Childcare Blues | | 2008-04-25 23:41:00 | | Guilt is the number one ingredient when it comes to leaving the care of our children to someone else. So many worries…”What if my baby becomes attached to them?” is a big concern. I have known more than one instance where friendships were actually severed over this. It is difficult to come home and realize your child doesn’t want to go home with you or says they “love” their babysitter and maybe they even miss them when they are not there. Although it’s a tough pill to swallow, remember it’s better for your children to be somewhere they are they are happy and content...with someone they trust and enjoy! We already suffer enough and so do they, being away from each other so much, so let them be happy! Better for them to be attached to their childcare provider than afraid of them! Just know that if they “love” their provider, you can sleep well, knowing it is probably a good place for them to be!

| | Cootie Stark: The King of Piedmont Blues | | 2008-04-18 15:00:53 | | When I read about Mr. Johnny Miller in a local Greenville, S.C. newspaper, I had to go meet him. I was really into playing the blues guitar during that time, and I had no idea that a Piedmont Blues legend lived no more than a mile from my home.The projects where Johnny lived weren’t far from city condemnation at that time. I pulled up in unit four, my WYFF-TV news vehicle, during a lunch break and knocked on the door. A humble yet cigar-thick voice greeted my call with hello as he opened the door.There he was, Cootie Stark, right in front of me. Cootie was his stage name.He invited me in before I could finish explaining my purpose.The dark four room dwelling had painted concrete block for walls and no decoration. I guess it made sense; he’s a guy and he’s blind. I probably wouldn’t decorate, either.Cootie started telling me the story of his life and included things like growing up in Laurens, S.C. and pickin’ peas as a child.

| | I got the right to sing the blues | | 2008-04-16 21:53:58 | | Rules for Blues: 1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town." 3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.6. Teenagers can't sing the Bl | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

| | Heron King Blues | | 2008-03-14 08:56:10 | | Disco marrone. Destino comune a quasi tutti i dischi di questo colore, non ha ricevuto le attenzioni che merita. Califone: non è il motorino degli zarri degli anni Settanta, ma un giradischi particolarmente robusto in dotazione alle scuole elementari americane del passato - la casa produttrice si è adeguata alla tecnologia che avanza - fabbrica anche queste clamorose cuffie a forma di animale.

| | Zen Mix Tape Blues | | 2008-03-11 15:13:08 | | Hace muchos años, me decía la profesora de Folklore -o como era conocido entonces, Típico- que yo no tenía oído ni para tocar radio, refieriendose a mi inhabilidad para coordinar tronco y extremidades durante los bailes a los que era forzado a participar. Sin quitarle méritos a esa antipedagógica apreciación, me pregunto si acaso tenía ella oído para crear un MIX TAPE de calidad? Pero primero, algo de historia.Durante la edad clásica, cuando el disco de vinil era el formato reinante, el melómano obtenía su cuota de placer mediante la sucesiva reposición de los albumes o 45's en su tocadiscos, esto limitaba severamente como "armar" una selección variada, situación remediada con la llegada de las cintas, que aunque frágiles, brindaban la posibilidad del reuso, la replicación sin daño al original y lo más importante, se convertían en un lienzo donde el incipiente "arreglísta" podría crear una obra sónica, una combinación perfecta, un album personalizado acorde a s | | By: Avarana | | |

| | UK real estate blues | | 2008-03-02 16:03:00 | | You know sentiment in the UK property sector is bleak when Hammerson's news that its net asset value per share had dropped 5.5 per cent since June helped trigger a 6 per cent rise in the shares yesterday.There is plenty to be worried about. UK retail rents have historically correlated closely with economic growth (which should slow) while office rents have moved in parallel with lease lengths (which are falling). It could be years before rental rates start growing again. Prime London office rents face further pressure from planned new office space that could add 13 per cent to the existing stock by 2010. Commercial property values have been sliding since June, and many retail tenants face falling profits. Lenders, once willing to finance 80 to 90 per cent of a project, now cap loans at 70 per cent. Falling asset prices could mean companies breach loan-to-value covenants.

I was in Js school the other day (his early school days n how he gets mad if I am not on time!), and guess what, the whole school experience came alive in front of my eyes. Waiting for him, I glanced through the classrooms and found out that little has changed in terms of furniture. The same old chairs peeping back. my mind revolted, Cant we have something better?. I did put up my thoughts in the suggestion box but before I could say, I had to find out if there has been a change in classroom furniture ( !!). including chairs that kids spend quite some time sitting on
On briefly going through some models, I liked a couple. I have done a few murals for the junior classes just when the school went into business, and hopefully they wouldnt mind me suggesting good chair models too. You can use them at home too, right next to the study table. Here are some I lay my eyes upon,

| | Game 58: Blues 4, Avalanche 1 | | 2008-02-15 07:44:52 | | It appears that Manny Legace's Avalanche mind control powers are back in full effect. 40 shots, 39 stops. That's ridiculous. At least Peter Budaj played very well in relief of Jose Theodore, something he failed to do last time he was brought in to replace the starter. I trust Theodore can shake off this one bad night and be ready to go against Chicago (who've outscored their last two opponents 13-3) on Sunday. If he can't, he's a baby. I'm not even going to waste my time talking about the rest of the players or the game in general. The quicker this pants-crapping is a memory, the better. | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |

The St. Louis Blues have been sucking something awful lately, even if you include the win against Los Angeles the other day. All that momentum they had at the start of the year is gone, pretty much. Now they're just running on fumes and Paul Kariya's nightmares about Scott Stevens. You know he still thinks about it all the time. Ouch. The Avalanche, on the other hand, are running on prescription pain killers, which might explain why they tend to fall asleep halfway through the second period of almost every game they play. The whole team is hurt and full of Vicodin. I'm excited about Ryan Smyth returning to the lineup tonight after a six week absence due to a broken ankle, but not because I want to see him play or think he'll contribute to the team. I'm excited to see what new injury he'll no doubt suffer tonight. Skrastins not w | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |

At bedtime he sent the youngsters upstairs to bed and settled down to watch football. One child kept creeping down the stairs, but the young man kept sending him back.At 9:00 p.m., the doorbell rang. It was the next-door neighbor, Mrs. Brown, asking whether her son was there. The young man brusquely replied, "No."Just then a little head appeared over the banister and a voice shouted, "I'm here, Mom, but he won't let me go home." | | By: Life Disguised in Humor | | |
| | Avoid the Winter Blues with a Unique Japanese Exercise | | 2008-01-14 19:39:00 | | It's winter again and as the daylight hours shorten many people become afflicted with what has become known as seasonal affect disorder (or, aptly named, SAD). Most people are affected to one degree or another by SAD or SAD-like symptoms. It is a perfectly normal change in the brain that occurs each year as it gets darker earlier and is thought to be the result of altered brain chemistry caused by fewer hours of exposure to sunshine. The condition can become so significant that some people may require professional intervention. Normally, the brain creates a chemical called serotonin in response to exposure to sunshine. This chemical is largely responsible for producing a happy, healthy mood in a person. Because days are shorter in the fall and winter our brains make less of this chemical and this can lead to SAD. Having bright lights on in the fall and winter afternoon is one way to keep your serotonin levels up, but another healthier way is through exercise.Now, most Americans don't exercise enough, especially in the winter. There is a very good reason for this. For the most part, exercise is boring! Especially most indoor exercises! Here's a reality of life when it comes to exercise; "If it’s boring, you won't do it. Period!" As a result, most people know they should exercise more, but most people simply don't. This not necessarily because they don't want to be in better shape and be in a good mood, but because so many popular kinds of exercise and fitness routines are utterly boring! If you're bored of endlessly walking on treadmills or elliptical trainers at the gym while watching depressing cable news channels or bad infomercials; or if you've tried yoga and Pilates but find them painfully slow, then I have a suggestion for you.

| | | Blues Guitar Scales - How Blues Scales For Guitar Work In Lead Guitar Playing | | 2008-01-04 23:00:15 | | The blues guitar scales are really based off of the pentatonic scales with one extra note added. We call that extra note the "blue note" because it gives the pentatonic scale its obvious "bluesyness." The only real difference between the scales on the guitar and the same scales on any other instrument is the fact that there is more than one way to play them on a guitar. This is due mostly to the fact that the guitar is a stringed instrument and there are at least 3-5 ways to play any unique note.The minor pentatonic scale is created using the root (or 1), flatted 3rd, 4th, 5th, and flatted 7th of a major scale. Notice that there is no 2nd or 6th scale tone used. There's an interesting reason for that but it requires a substantial amount of music theory to explain it and this isn't really the place for that.To create the minor blues scale we take the minor pentatonic scale and add a flatted 5th (or sharp 4) to it. In the key of A, this creates a scale with the notes A, C, D, Eb, E, and G in it. Some people don't differentiate between the minor and the major blues scales. If someone calls a scale a blues scale, assume they mean the minor version.A major pentatonic scale is created with the 1st (root,) 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th tone of a major scale. In C that would be C, D, E, G, and A. To make it a major blues scale you add a flatted 3rd which gives you C, D, Eb, E, G, and A in the key of C.Notice that the rule governing relative major and minor keys/scales is also in effect here. If you look at the keys of A minor and C major, which are relative, meaning they contain the same notes, you'll see the same group of notes.The A minor blues scale is A, C, D, Eb, E, and G. The C major blues scale is C, D, Eb, E, G, and A. Same notes, different starting point. This sort of thing happens all the time in music. This is of particular interest if you're playing blues lead guitar because you can see that your blues guitar scales really do double duty. Once you learn one patter | | By: Guitar Hero | | |

Right? Well, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Very few who attempt to establish themselves in a homebase business, whether it's through online Internet marketing, or simple one on one casual networking, will get out of the starting blocks fast enough to carry them through some sort of let down. It should be expected, though it is not, and one of the main reasons is, that no one, especially your sponsor, wants you to know it could come. They are hoping that your initial excitement will carry you through.That's why, most who will be involved in getting you started, will work very hard to get you started searching your mind for people you know, usually everyone you know, and then help you devise a way to let them all know you are in business.

It’s a shame that the weekend is over but just 2 more working days and then no work for approximately 13 days! Woohoo! Can sleep late, wake up late…I definitely won’t miss driving to the LRT station to secure a parking spot nor will I miss taking the damn train to and from work.It’s a busy Monday for me, yet I think I’m affected by the Monday blues. So sien. I just don’t feel like doing anything at all. Plus, the holiday mood is getting to me. The more I don’t want to do anything at all.Boss is on EL today and asked me to follow-up with some stuff. I don’t understand clients sometimes. They can be unbelievably, annoyingly, irritatingly slow. Just because they are the client, they think they can delay-deli stuff? Weren’t they the one who’s requiring our services and demanded for the project to be completed in such a short, tight stint? Yet they are SO freaking slow in providing the requirements, feedback and what not. And why do they require the system to be ready when they’re on leave and won’t be around to evaluate or do the UAT? Do they want the system to go live and on schedule, or not?!I sent my boss a few sms’ to keep him updated on the progress; and his reply was "Ok good, I’ve to rely on you" ..RELY on me? Aiyoh, such a strong word. Can choose some other word or not? "Rely" seems to be tied with “pressure” or something.Can’t seem to concentrate today. Y’know how some people can just come into the office, yak on the phone, giggling away and trying to whisper coz they’re afraid if someone might just eavesdrop their conversation? That’s what one of my colleagues is doing and I’m finding it super annoying right now.Ok, back to work! >. | | By: ..mekurukito.. | | |

The blues scale is derived from the minor pentatonic scale. If you play a minor pentatonic and add one note (the flatted fifth) you get the blues scale. This added note is what gives the scale its sad, dark quality. In medieval times the flatted fifth was known as the 'The Devil's Note' and its use banned in some kingdom's.

| | | Housing Blues Hits Billionaires | | 2007-11-30 06:48:57 | | Suppose you heard that an investment whiz, a billionaire, owned a cheapie stock, one at less than $5 a share that trades on the New York Stock Exchange. Would you take a shot on it?Okay, let's take the issue one step further. Suppose two other investment stars, also billionaires, owned that very same stock. Would you then take a flier? Probably yes, correct? Billionaires don't achieve that exalted financial status by doing stupid things.Our three billionaires are an activist investor who is Corporate America's most feared troublemaker, Carl Icahn; Wall Street's most successful trader, Stevie Cohen, who heads up S.A.C. Capital Management in Stamford, Conn., and a managing director of Neuberger & Berman, Marvin Schwartz, who is viewed by some professionals as the "pro's pro."Given the great success of this trio, common sense would suggest that the stock in question merits serious consideration. Stockbroker Malcolm Lowenthal of Kern, Suslow Securities probably sums it up best: "With three guys as smart as these all owning big stakes in the same company, how can you possibly not be interested? The answer is you have to be." Few investors would challenge such an obvious assumption, but they should because the stock — WCI Communities, a leading Florida home builder with 2006 sales of $2 billion — has been an absolute dog. All three billionaires have lost money on their investments. Over the past 52 weeks, the Bonita, Fla.-based firm, which constructs retirement communities on Florida's coasts and high-rise residential towers, has plunged to a 52-week low of $3 from a 12-month high of $24.20. It currently trades at $3.01.Granted, Florida is riddled with overbuilding, foreclosures, rapidly rising inventories, and falling prices — a deteriorating situation that many real estate experts say is likely to get progressively worse in the state before it gets better.
