in a world where 'billionaires are many- in a world where people with 100's of million are plenty, and where people with 10's of millions is becoming even more common place.
People can and may well look to how to build from localities where the options offer limitless benefits.
many great things started from small developments. many people with medium wealth have found disaster by trying to build in areas where the power of dollars, make competition a dire challenge.
It's an Amazing things, when visionary mentality, pushes to open new doors, and the value point, not only can build a great brand, but it can push the change that is so very necessary in society. this includes both high end, and general consumer categories, but what is important is constructive strategy. There are ways to make it work, but it takes the minds of team work to make it become what it has potential to be.
We miss much, and we fail to grasp what is really true. We ignore the value of what is the means of communication, and how to capitalize on what technology offers.
If I could find people, with the mindset to embrace the vision, wonderful things could be created, that not only help and promote many, but the brand and model can take a stand on its own, and help change the climate of many aspects of business on a variety of categories.
Promoting people, is such a great things, but done right, it is even more wonderful, because it involves the cultural aspect of character in the developmental process of promoting people.

The "OBSTRUCTIONIST MENTALITY Republicans" are at it again,
"Senate Republicans on Saturday doomed an effort that would have given hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants a path to legal status if they enrolled in college or joined the military.
Sponsors of the Dream Act fell five votes short of the 60 they needed to break through largely GOP opposition and win its enactment before Republicans take over the House and narrow Democrats' majority in the Senate next month.
President Barack Obama called the vote "incredibly disappointing."
-------------------
Any and "Every" bill, or any measure that has anything to do with promoting and supporting human dignity. Republicans collectively vote against it...
Maybe many of the immigrants and other who respect the human dignity of people, will eventually open their eyes, and vote for the demise of the Republican Apparatus.

The best shoe fit

for Tennis shoes - it is best not to buy the highest priced shoe, but to get one that is reasonable cost- and spend the additional money to get 'GOOD CUSHION INSERTS", good inserts may cost you from $9.00 up to $20.. depending on brand name, and type of cushion that best suits your feet and the way you walk.
no matter what type you buy, they used the "lowest cost inserts", because many are selling the brand name, and the fashion trend of the season, the rest of the shoe construction, especially the sole, is no longer soft rubber, but hard pressed plastic foam molded like substance. it is designed for "light weight" not true function for the cushion necessary for the pressure created while walking or running. the upper section simply needs to fit the foot in a firm and secure manner.
___________
When it comes to women shoes, you may want to go to a custom shoe shop and have 'inserts made, that provide some cushion, since you are walking around on tip toes all day.
If you wear full foot covering high heels, you might want to invest in inserts that actually work.
first and foremost, High Heels are not a good bet for all women, some women are simply too heavy for them, and they result to have foot pain, back pain and a very agitated disposition due the the continual pain from simply walking in these body damaging shoes.
women should really know their weight in relation to the height of the heel she is wearing. the highest heels, are designed for slim and tall women. as if they are not already tall enough, but it is designed for their lighter weight body build.
Consistently I see heavy women, wearing heels, and from behind, their walk looks as if they are struggling and can't wait to get off their feet.
Even thin women, these shoes cannot be withstood for long periods of time, because the contour of the foot, does not distribute weight in a stable nor a healthy manner.
these shoes were not designed for all day high volume walking, they were made for 'sex appeal' in a particular environmental seducing presentation. the same as a person would not wear a evening gown to a business meeting, then likewise so, there are heels that are suitable for this kind of work environment.
if one already has an 'upturned butt", there is little need for high heels, which is designed to give that "upturned butt appeal', and standing on tip toes, as if one has the urgency of desire bubbling within them. or the modified arch in the back, in a way, that is designed to enhance attraction appeal.
Now... does it look good.." Certainly" it does, it was made for the focus on "looks"... but that had lessor concern for health or even safety for that matter. It is purely a eroticism enhancer..
so think about shoes, and consider many things, as well as the amount of time, each time can be worn without causing too much body damage.
what many women may find, is a pleasant smile, with a happy disposition, may get her many positive results as to be alluring, erotic and with the seductress satisfactions... than prolonged body damage.
SAdly some women, go through their day with an irritated feeling that squashes her ability to smile and have a comfortable look on her face, because 'her feet hurt" !!! and these is not a lot of things that can put a constant irritating pressure in ones day, than to have on shoes which make the feet either hurt or feel desperately uncomfortable.
Some other potential symptoms from sore feet, which impact women, as many are purely wiped out at the end of a day, not always because of the workload, but because their feet have hurt all day, and gave them a nagging irritating pain, which lingers, by the time they get home, they don't understand why they don't feel like doing anything. so the result is, they seek out comfort foods, and some place to sit or lay, and suddenly before you know it, the butt spreads, and the stomach expands, and suddenly she is 'overweight'..
The care of feet, can have a big impact on many things..

God's Wife
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
Talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the
Contest was to find the most caring .
The winner was:
A four-year-old , whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had
said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just
Helped him cry.'
*********************************************
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture
had a different hair color than the other members... One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted..'
'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked
another .
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'
*********************************************
On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League baseball game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-
base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered
With a smile.
'Really,' I said... 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'
'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face...
'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't
Been up to bat yet.'
*********************************************
Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being
in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement.. 'Guess what, Mom ,' he
shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
*********************************************
An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes,'was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into
the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water
and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed
his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with
the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes..
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No
doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears
in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife?'

When the lie harms others

Between those women who have sex, and then make it into a public spectacle, in their question to turn it into a payday, and then making false claims as listed below, will this conduct eventually put this groups of women in a category where men simply won't trust even trying to be with them under any circumstance.
Seems more and more men at looking for women mates from other ethnic groups. Men seem to be looking more at women from Asian women , Black women, Latin women, and others.
The more the headlines are filled with this one group of women in 'sex and money spectacles', and the cycle seems to have ramped up in recent years.
What do you think??
Will this group of women eventually play themselves right out of the game of being desired for a relationship?

Suspended after filing phony cop report
WABC-TV weather forecaster Heidi Jones was suspended Wednesday for filing a bogus police report about a phony stalker and a Central Park assault.
The indefinite suspension of was announced on the station's noon telecast. WABC-TV insiders said Jones, who joined the station in 2005, would likely be fired after an internal investigation.
The 37-year-old weather woman was busted for telling cops a Hispanic man attacked her in the park on Sept. 24 - and that he returned to threaten her two months later, a police source said.
She told police a second "incident" happened near her Manhattan apartment on Nov. 21 - three days before Jones went to police with her story, a source said.
"She tries to paint the picture of a stalker, but things don't add up," the source said. "We're thinking, 'She doesn't want there to be any witnesses we can talk to, so she's as vague as possible.'"
Jones, the anchor of WABC's weekend weather forecasts, was known to a national audience for her fill-in work on "Good Morning America."
Fans of the forecaster weighed in on her Facebook page with support and slams.
"I sincerely hope you overcome the problems in your life right now," wrote one backer. "Stay strong, and ignore the haters, for none of us is without faults."
Another critic offered a more pointed take: "You are a disgrace and I hope you lose your job."
Paul Callan, an attorney for Jones, said she intends to plead innocent to the charges.
"Ms. Jones has had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist and urges all concerned to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the unproven charges against her being discussed in the press," Callan said.
"On my advice she will make no comment until the matter is resolved in court."
Jones claimed she was jogging through Central Park in late September when a man attacked her and dragged her into a wooded area, the source said. She claimed her attacker bolted when two tourists saw the incident and screamed - but she never reported the attack to police.
The forecaster appeared at the 6th Precinct in late November to report she was approached again "by the same man who did this before," the source said.
Once police began investigating her tale, the story quickly unraveled. Jones told police she was having problems in her relationship and thought reporting the bogus crimes would gain her sympathy.
Jones - who's due in court on Jan. 5 - could face up to a year in prison if convicted.
The weather woman is an avid runner, and came to New York from Houston - where she was honored as best weather anchor in the Lone Star State.
Jones grew up in Indiana, and worked in Albany, N.Y., and Billings, Mont., before moving into bigger markets.

Unconventional relationships that work
|
Posted:Dec 15, 2010 4:08 am
Last Updated:Dec 15, 2010 5:08 pm 13630 Views

Most of us grow up believing that love stories go something like this: Boy meets girl, boy and girl make a nicely matched pair so they fall in love, get married and live happily ever after in a cute home. Well, so much for fairy tales. More and more, today’s couples are making all kinds of off-the-beaten-path relationships work. So you and your sweetie are several decades apart age-wise? Got married but live on opposite coasts? Bring it on — this is the new face of love. And here we have three couples to tell you just how fun and fulfilling an unconventional kind of romance can be!
The age-gap relationship
“I met Tom when I was 18 and he was 43. The ink on his divorce papers was still wet, and he was the father of two young . I wasn’t at all intimidated by his lifestyle and was instantly attracted to him — especially his sexy goatee. But I’d be lying if I said everyone in my life was in agreement with my decision to date a much older man — with . My father and mother caught us together, and they both thought we were insane. But our connection was there in a really deep way. A couple months later I started college, and Tom visited me on weekends and stayed over — in my dorm. At first I was really self-conscious about our age difference, so I lied to my roommates and told them he was in his 30s. We ended up getting an apartment together my sophomore year of college. Soon, my friends and family realized Tom and I were the real deal, and although it took time for the people in my life to adjust, they did. After three years of blissful dating, I got the ring! Now Tom and I are set to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary in October. As for my parents (Tom’s in-laws) — they love him; everyone gets along famously. In fact, we double-date often. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world! I have an adoring husband and two wonderful stepchildren. Even though I’m not their mom, I do help raise them. Our couplehood isn’t so conventional, for sure, when it comes to our age difference, but it’s a wonderful thing.”
- Jennifer Leckstrom, 27, Tannersville, PA
The coast-to-coast relationship
“I’m a high school math teacher in Jersey with tenure. My wife, Ellen, teaches special education kindergarten. We initially taught in the same school system… until Ellen got a call from a colleague out in California. She asked Ellen to move out to the West Coast and partner with her in her brand new early education school for disabled . Ellen wanted to go — I didn’t. The opportunity was huge for her career, and the money was just as substantial for our family. She moved — with our seven-year-old . Our love is real, sustainable and we see each other twice a month on weekends and everyday via a handy webcam — I help my with her math every single night. Sometimes I think I might bite the bullet, quit my job and move out there. I’ve realized they won’t be moving back, since our , now 14, is settled in her new life and my wife’s business is well-established and profitable. To be honest, I’ve never been hotter for my wife — I literally count the days until I am going to see her again. So while I probably will move there sooner or later, our thinking is: Why fix what isn’t broken? We are 150 percent committed to our marriage and . We have no, er, ‘agreements’ — we’re faithful. We’re a happily married couple that lives a continent apart!”
- Roger Wade*, 41, Mountainside, NJ
The separate-quarters relationship
“We’ve been married for 15 years, but we’d never still be together if we lived under one roof. My husband and I are very Oscar and Felix. I’m a slob, and he’s incredibly neat and anal. In addition, our tastes are very different. His place has a gloomy, scary Norman Bates thing going on; my place is very light, airy, don’t-worry-be-happy-ish. And then there’s also the matter of lifestyle. He is extremely noise-sensitive. My husband is a former opera singer and lives in what was once a music studio. So, his digs are soundproof. He sleeps well there but cannot sleep at my place. So we never moved in together. We do have two noisy six-year-old twin sons. It may seem odd, but we see each other every single day — he tucks the boys in at night, and we have the occasional sleepover for the obvious reasons. My belief is this: Marriage is hard enough, even if you do have the same taste in slipcovers. But when you have different tastes, why compromise it if you don’t have to? The common thing between us is love, and isn’t that the most important thing?”
Judith Newman, 40,

Love
I open my heart to the all-powerful love of God.
The love of God is a powerful force for good. Divine love mends differences, creates joy and opens hearts and lives to unlimited blessings.
Love is the foundation of all unity. Where love is, there can be no differences, separation or inharmony. Divine love allows us to hold to the truth that only good is at work and that only good prevails.
Love is "the fulfilling of the law," the assurance that there is something greater to experience, something more to enjoy. Love is magnetic. It draws to itself every good thing.
I am developing a love consciousness. I feel divine love at work within me now, causing me to see myself and others in the right light, the light of love.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.--Romans 13:10

what next for Catholicism ? it has been noted, that sexual encroaching crimes has been a staple of this institution for centuries, now other aspects show up.
(from the news)
Vatican Bank mired in laundering scandal
This is no ordinary bank: The ATMs are in Latin. Priests use a private entrance. A life-size portrait of Pope Benedict XVI hangs on the wall.
Nevertheless, the Institute for Religious Works is a bank, and it's under harsh new scrutiny in a case involving money-laundering allegations that led police to seize euro23 million ($30 million) in Vatican assets in September. Critics say the case shows that the "Vatican Bank" has never shed its penchant for secrecy and scandal.
The Vatican calls the seizure of assets a "misunderstanding" and expresses optimism it will be quickly cleared up. But court documents show that prosecutors say the Vatican Bank deliberately flouted anti-laundering laws "with the aim of hiding the ownership, destination and origin of the capital." The documents also reveal investigators' suspicions that clergy may have acted as fronts for corrupt businessmen and Mafia.
The documents pinpoint two transactions that have not been reported: one in 2009 involving the use of a false name, and another in 2010 in which the Vatican Bank withdrew euro650,000 ($860 million) from an Italian bank account but ignored bank requests to disclose where the money was headed.

Nun accused of embezzling 860,000 from Catholic School... !!!
(end0
When the real truth comes out, about how many Nuns, have turned countless young women into lesbians, and groomed them to be so, by the untold truths of female molestations in this segment, one day the multitudes of women may decide to open up and tell the truth... currently women seem to keep quiet about it, a if they silently support this practice.. probably because many women simply don't want to face the reality of the disclosure coming to light. "eventually it will".

opposition stances, will force its own changes

with the incomes rising in China, and the exposure the people have had of the world community, The information gained by the people as a whole, has already signaled a change sweeping China, the only entity that is not aware and lagging is the administration. they can't jail everyone, nor can they close their doors, as they did before, nor can they do any mass extinction program, and nothing can forestall change forever. Life is forever changes, and places change as well. The people pretend to obey, for public sake, but when administrations remain blind, and push to strong arm dominate, they simply weaken themselves in the process, but the ego of leadership, is generally a blinding element, when power is the main aim.
They won't be able to hold on to the wealth forever, without the people having a say in what becomes of the future.
but unless China's administration has closed its mind, it should be aware that the world of nations, is fast moving, to take back industry, as each nation now finds that it's own home is threatened with unemployment and economic challenge, 2011, will probably show, many nation pushing for China to buy from other, and since China has not opened nor paid its people to create them as consumers, some improvements in income has been created, but they are not buying foreign products, they are buying "made in china products", which leave the big option is to take back industry, and for countries to strengthen back their own population, especially when they now see, the oppositional mentality of China Leadership, and their lag and unwilling to be a balanced player in the world economics. companies that come to China, are facing more and more of China wanting their tech secrets, as well as to control every aspect of how they market to Chinese public, and they do not want any competition to the base Chinese industries, by foreign owned industry. But, China, wants to move and buy up industry in other countries, and want no interference in how they run it, but they want to take their proceeds back to China, without question or challenge. Unfortunately, the Chinese administration has not figured it out, 'they are not the only player on the stage", when it comes to labor pools. Other governments can and will change quickly, when they see the option to gain the industry that China has, they will fix their problems quickly to get development to come to their shores. The 10-15yr run of China is certainly due for a massive change in fortunes in the coming 3-5 yrs. Nation upon nation has seen economic erosion, and they will not stand idle, while China builds skyscrapers, bullet trains, and other things, while taking a non involved stance, when it comes to international responsibility. and then talking challenge nature commentary when it comes to them having to invest in the nations they rely upon to buy their over-production of products. they don't understand the concept of balance in trade, its why corruption is rampant, and contempt finds much urgency in display, when questioned about anything. the core mentality is 'dominance based on its core model, which is to dominate, but it does not grasp the fact the world is not in submission to communist programming. therefore, the Administration cannot act toward the world, the way it acts upon and against its people with a sole authoritarian demeanor. It's biggest trading reliance in upon democratic nations, and that is a point of perspective they have not grasp to embrace diplomacy in a world that is not groomed to submit in the ways China is use to engaging upon its people. their understanding of diplomacy is due for much work, and their grasp of what it means to be a world power, is to engage responsibility in a diplomatic manner, to both democratic systems, as well as emerging states with other factors within how they govern.
No, China can't make a 180 turn in its own land, because it would be chaos, without parallel.. but it must learn better to negotiate not just its points, but points that make better world unity and economic parity function, without loosing the ability to maintain internal stability. but give the people the right of some levels of autonomy, it is inevitable, because wealth in a system that is being swept with capitalism, has no choice but to give voice unto its wealth holders, and the more voice they gain, the more voice become among the people, and thus is "change"..
What many must realize is, it takes no more than a couple of years for any nation to dedicate to ramp up, and re-claim their industry, every nation has empty building awaiting to open for business.
China failed to realize, that Once people's eyes and minds are open, they can't be closed nor will the people allow their minds to be wiped of what they have become aware of.
Not when the Super rich live free, and the working poor and the poor are the only ones who are being contained and managed in a state management system. this simple inequality is its own force that forces changes...
South Korea tried their hand at stall, thinking it could sell its stuff without any agreement to buy and make open their community to foreign products, and they changed that tune very quickly. All they had to be was shown, that they need not only protection, but they need allies, and they need to respect the value of what an allied partnership is. and that includes trade agreements.

OSLO, Norway – As China tightens its grip on dissidents at home, dignitaries in Norway celebrate this year's winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, imprisoned Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo, with solemn ceremony — and an empty chair.
Liu won't be able to collect the prestigious $1.4 million award at the Oslo ceremony on Friday — the first time in 74 years that it has not been handed over.
Nobel committee secretary Geir Lundestad said Liu will be represented "by an empty chair ... the strongest possible argument" for awarding it to him.
China was infuriated when the prestigious prize was awarded to the 54-year-old literary critic, who is serving an 11-year prison sentence on subversion charges brought after he co-authored a bold call for sweeping changes to Beijing's one-party communist political system.
Beijing described the award as an attack on its political and legal system and has placed Liu's supporters, including his wife Liu Xia, under house arrest to prevent anyone from picking up his prize.
On Friday, uniformed and plainclothes officers guarded the entrance to the compound in central Beijing where Liu Xia has lived since the October announcement that her husband would receive the prize. China also tightened a wide-ranging clampdown on dissidents and blocked some news websites ahead of the awarding ceremony.
China has also pressured foreign diplomats to stay away from the Nobel ceremony. China and 17 other countries have declined to attend, including Russia, Pakistan, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba. At least 46 of the 65 countries with embassies in Oslo have accepted invitations. Serbia, which had said it would stay away, announced Thursday that it had changed its mind and would now attend.
Lundestad said countries gave various reasons for not attending, but some were "obviously affected by China."
China warned that attending the ceremony would be seen as a sign of disrespect. ( end)
It's unlikely that nations would be strong armed like this and accept it silently, it is not part of international logic, when too many nations have lost too much, by China dumping products, and buying nothing, and then taking stand that show it is not a world community player.
