That&#39;s what a man in &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/kentucky&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.5,-85.0&amp;amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;amp;q=37.5,-85.0%20%28Kentucky%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Kentucky&quot;&gt;Kentucky&lt;/a&gt;, US, thought :.till he collided with the law. Collecting explosive materials, he had reportedly turned bomb-maker at home. Why? Come 2012, his loved ones needed saving. Blame it on him watching the Hollywood blockbuster, 2012, whose world is less maya than Mayan.It depicts cataclysmic events inspired by a supposed ancient Mayan &#39;prediction&#39; about the end of the world. Solar flares, earthquakes, avalanches, cyclones, the mega-movie unleashes every disaster imaginable, amplified to monster-size by special effects. Who can forget the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/los_angeles&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.05,-118.25&amp;amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;amp;q=34.05,-118.25%20%28Los%20Angeles%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Los Angeles&quot;&gt;city of Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt; crumbling into the Pacific? Or the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/white_house&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8976694444,-77.03655&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=38.8976694444,-77.03655%20%28White%20House%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;White House&quot;&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt; hit by a swallow-all tsunami? It&#39;s doom maro doom all right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scientists to New Age writers, many have studied an old Mayan &quot;Long Count&quot; calendar. Some say it foretells a new era following the close of a major &quot;time cycle&quot;. Others insist it fore­ casts &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
doomsday: in devastated 2012, there&#39;ll be nowhere to run. Yet, on the big screen, run they do, humans being all too human. Politicians build &quot;arks&quot; in secret. Ordinary mortals try to save (ex) wives, kids, buddies, flying from trying plains into volcanic fire. Now, taking reel-life&lt;br /&gt;
for real, our seismically impacted Kentucky man had an &#39;explosive&#39; idea. To beat &lt;br /&gt;
upcomingnature&#39;sfury,mass riots and the collapse of civi­ lisation, you armed yourself. That&#39;s why, he&#39;s said to have told federal agents, he&#39;d gone weapons-grade. No sir, he and his family wouldn&#39;t go gently into apocalyptic night, only to get Kentucky fried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hmmm...don&#39;t world leaders follow the same philosophy? Whereas Kentucky&#39;s family man, they say, is headed for jail for being a clear and combustibledanger, ruling politiciansthe world over compete in amassing weapons of mass destruction. Patting the bomb, they&#39;re even applauded for projected machismo. Size does matter, with warheads, mushroom clouds and military-in­ dustrial complexes.Haven&#39;t world netas got their version of &#39;fam­ ily&#39; to save-for, what is &#39;country&#39; but extended family? It&#39;salways politically useful to say one&#39;s compatriots are under threat, be it from &#39;enemies of the nation&#39;, Martians or phantom WMD. That&#39;s howwag-the-dogwars are justified and the warrior ethic issancti­fied. Defence budgets, arms-dealers&#39; bank accounts and WMD stockpiles alsofatten up nicely. A battle for thelucrative bulge.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only, there are smarter waysto tackle myriad 2012s-natural or man-made catastrophes-whose outward destructiveforce is a metaphor for the violence within.If world-wrecking wars bring gloom and doom, pursue peace. If no nuke is good news, turn arms race into competitive disarmament. If global warming threatens to microwave the planet, serve up earth conservation. If great floods, T-Rex typhoons and crash-landing asteroids cock a snook at human certitudes, gain perspective, think compassion and perfect post-hazard relief delivery. And, to all end-of-days narratives of pessimism and defeatism, oppose the optimism of the human-and, certainly, terrestrial-capacityfor renewal.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hollywood&#39;s 2012, you&#39;ll remember, ends with survivors&#39; arks sailing towards the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/cape_of_good_hope&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-34.3580555556,18.4719444444&amp;amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;amp;q=-34.3580555556,18.4719444444%20%28Cape%20of%20Good%20Hope%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Cape of Good Hope&quot;&gt;Cape of Good Hope&lt;/a&gt;!See?

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;There’s been a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/aviation_accidents_and_incidents&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_accidents_and_incidents&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Aviation accidents and incidents&quot;&gt;plane crash&lt;/a&gt; in Dubai today involving a UPS 747 cargo plane which came down just after takeoff.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It appears from witness accounts that a large portion of the plane was on fire before the crash and the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/united_arab_emirates&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=24.4666666667,54.3666666667&amp;amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;amp;q=24.4666666667,54.3666666667%20%28United%20Arab%20Emirates%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;United Arab Emirates&quot;&gt;United Arab Emirates&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/national_airworthiness_authority&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_aviation_authority&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;National aviation authority&quot;&gt;civil aviation authority&lt;/a&gt; now reports that the bodies of the 2 crew involved have been recovered, according to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38992716/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;msn.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Kristen Petrella, a UPS spokeswoman said that the plane came down around 8:00 pm local time. The Flight 6 Boeing 747-400 was headed to Cologne in Germany but crashed only 10 miles southeast of Dubai’s international airport in an Emirati air base close to a highway intersection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;There was an account from an Associated Press photographer that the crash could not be seen from the highway as there were walls separating the site but smoke could be seen at the crash spot.

&lt;br /&gt;
Our system does it all in seconds, with little or no &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000550bc39&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Learning curve&quot;&gt;learning curve&lt;/a&gt; and at a cost that can&#39;t be beat: FREE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How does it work? We have developed a unique, highly advanced global position locator &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/algorithm&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Algorithm&quot;&gt;algorithm&lt;/a&gt; known as &quot;&lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000001de59&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Internet&quot;&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt; Global User Exact Specific Site,&quot; or &quot;I-GUESS&quot; for short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By tapping into the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/digital&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Digital&quot;&gt;digital&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/computer_network&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Computer network&quot;&gt;computer network&lt;/a&gt; known as the Internet, we can instantly and precisely calculate your exact location, regardless of where you are on the planet as you access the Internet. That calculation is then sent to you, via the Internet, in graphic form for your use as you see fit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This remarkable system is freely available to you, giving us an opportunity to further refine the locator algorithm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To use the I-GUESS system, simply click the &quot;Locate Me&quot; below. Your results will then appear on another page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for trying our unique global position locator.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The new symbol, designed by &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/indian_institute_of_technology_bombay&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.1336361111,72.9153583333&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=19.1336361111,72.9153583333%20%28Indian%20Institute%20of%20Technology%20Bombay%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Indian Institute of Technology Bombay&quot;&gt;Bombay IIT&lt;/a&gt; post-graduate D Udaya Kumar, was approved by the cabinet today — reflecting that the Indian &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/currency&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Currency&quot;&gt;currency&lt;/a&gt;, backed by an over-trillion dollar economy, was finally making its presence felt on the international scene. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; &quot;It&#39;s a big statement on the Indian currency... The symbol would lend a distinctive character and identity to the currency and further highlight the strength and global face of the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/economy_of_india&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Economy of India&quot;&gt;Indian economy&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters after the cabinet meeting. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Though the symbol will not be printed or embossed on currency notes or coins, it would be included in the &#39;&lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/unicode&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Unicode&quot;&gt;Unicode Standard&lt;/a&gt;&#39; and major scripts of the world to ensure that it is easily displayed and printed in the electronic and &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/printing&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Printing&quot;&gt;print media&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Among currencies with distinctive identities, only the pound sterling has its symbol printed on the notes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Unicode is an international standard that allows text data to be interchanged globally without conflict. After incorporation in the global and Indian codes, the symbol would be used by all individuals and entities within and outside the country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; The symbol will be adopted in a span of six months in the country, and within 18 to 24 months globally, Soni said, adding that it will feature on computer keyboards and softwares for worldwide use. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Soni said that the symbol, which reflects the Indian ethos and culture, would help distinguish the currency from the rupee or rupiah of other countries like Pakistan, Nepal, &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/sri_lanka&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=6.9,79.9&amp;amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;amp;q=6.9,79.9%20%28Sri%20Lanka%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Sri Lanka&quot;&gt;Sri Lanka&lt;/a&gt; and Indonesia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Besides this, state governments would be asked to proactively promote the use of the new symbol, she added. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Kumar&#39;s entry was chosen from 3,000 designs competing for the currency symbol. He will get an award of Rs 2.5 lakh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; &quot;It is a perfect blend of Indian and &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/en/latin_alphabet&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Latin alphabet&quot;&gt;Roman letters&lt;/a&gt; — capital &#39;R&#39; and Devanagri &#39;Ra&#39; which represents rupaiah, to appeal to international and Indian audiences... My design is based on the tricolour, with two lines at the top and white space in between,&quot; a visibly-happy Kumar said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; The jury, which had sent the five short-listed entries for the cabinet&#39;s approval, was headed by a Reserve Bank Deputy Governor. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The findings, from an analysis of data gathered in the first Gallup World Poll, appear this month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;The public always wonders: Does money make you happy?&quot; said &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.uillinois.edu/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage nofollow&quot; title=&quot;University of Illinois system&quot;&gt;University of Illinois&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professors_in_the_United_States&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Professors in the United States&quot;&gt;professor emeritus&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Psychology&quot;&gt;psychology&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Diener&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Ed Diener&quot;&gt;Ed Diener&lt;/a&gt;, a senior scientist with the Gallup Organization. &quot;This study shows that it all depends on how you define happiness, because if you look at life satisfaction, how you evaluate your life as a whole, you see a pretty strong correlation around the world between income and happiness,&quot; he said. &quot;On the other hand it&#39;s pretty shocking how small the correlation is with positive feelings and enjoying yourself.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The Gallup World Poll conducted surveys on a wide range of subjects in a representative sample of people from 132 countries from 2005 to 2006. The poll used telephone surveys in more affluent areas, and door-to-door interviews in rural or less-developed regions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The countries surveyed represent about 96 percent of the world&#39;s &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;World population&quot;&gt;population&lt;/a&gt;, the researchers report, and reflect the diversity of cultural, economic and political realities around the globe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The surveys included a global life evaluation, which asked respondents to rate their lives on a scale that ranged from zero (worst possible life) to 10 (best possible life). Participants also answered questions about positive or negative emotions experienced the previous day. And the poll asked respondents whether they felt respected, whether they had family and friends they could count on in an emergency, and how free they felt to choose their daily activities, learn new things or do &quot;what one does best.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Like previous studies, the new analysis found that life evaluation, or life satisfaction, rises with personal and national income. But positive feelings, which also increase somewhat as income rises, are much more strongly associated with other factors, such as feeling respected, having autonomy and social support, and working at a fulfilling job. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;This is the first &quot;happiness&quot; study of the world to differentiate between life satisfaction, the philosophical belief that your life is going well, and the day-to-day positive or negative feelings that one experiences, Diener said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;Everybody has been looking at just life satisfaction and income,&quot; he said. &quot;And while it is true that getting richer will make you more satisfied with your life, it may not have the big impact we thought on enjoying life.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The goal was to educate the public about the dangers of lightning, and that point was driven home earlier this month when a six-story statue of &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Jesus&quot;&gt;Jesus&lt;/a&gt; north of Cincinnati was struck by lightning. The statue, which depicted Jesus raising his hands to heaven, was burned to a crisp, leaving nothing but charred metal and blackened foam detritus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; The lightning strike made national news because of its inherent irony, but it was hardly the first time that Jesus was hit by a bolt from the blue. The world&#39;s most famous statue of Jesus, Brazil&#39;s 130-foot &quot;Christ the Redeemer&quot; figure atop &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-22.9083333333,-43.1963888889&amp;amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;amp;q=-22.9083333333,-43.1963888889%20%28Rio%20de%20Janeiro%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Rio de Janeiro&quot;&gt;Rio de Janeiro&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s Sugarloaf Mountain, has been &lt;/span&gt;struck by lightning&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; several times, most recently in 2008 when a bolt from the heavens struck Jesus&#39; face and fingers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Lightning has long been associated with the gods; &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Greek mythology&quot;&gt;Greek mythology&lt;/a&gt; shows lightning as the chief weapon of Zeus, King of the Gods. Zeus was often depicted with lightning bolts in his hands, ready to strike down people and buildings that displeased him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Some modern religious leaders believe that Acts of &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;God&quot;&gt;God&lt;/a&gt; (a legal, not theological, term) are divine retribution for mankind&#39;s wickedness and immorality. For example, Rev. Pat Robertson famously stated that the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January of this year was &lt;/span&gt;God&#39;s vengeance on the wicked people&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; of that island. He also said that &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Hurricane Katrina&quot;&gt;Hurricane Katrina&lt;/a&gt; was brought about by God&#39;s displeasure with &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;United States&quot;&gt;American&lt;/a&gt; abortion laws. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; While Robertson and many others see signs of God&#39;s will in &lt;/span&gt;natural disasters&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;, science has another take on it. The real answer as to why Jesus statues, churches, and other religious buildings and monuments are often struck by lightning is simply that they reach high into the sky. When lightning strikes, it seeks the highest point in the area to discharge (that&#39;s why you should never take shelter under trees); neither churches, nor mosques, nor synagogues, nor the son of God are exempt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; Of course, secular objects are often struck by lightning. &lt;/span&gt;Airplanes are struck by lightning&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; frequently. The &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.6891666667,-74.0444444444&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=40.6891666667,-74.0444444444%20%28Statue%20of%20Liberty%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Statue of Liberty&quot;&gt;Statue of Liberty&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.7484333333,-73.9856555556&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=40.7484333333,-73.9856555556%20%28Empire%20State%20Building%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Empire State Building&quot;&gt;Empire State Building&lt;/a&gt; take their hits. In a way, you could say that lightning bolts are nature&#39;s retribution for the sin of vanity, since anyone who erects &lt;/span&gt;the tallest structure&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; in the area surely has no shortage of pride.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

However, with the correct steps and right attitude, it can be very successful and rewarding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Before the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000081aae0&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_hunting&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Job hunting&quot;&gt;job search&lt;/a&gt; process begins, a resume must be in place first. The first step to job searching is having a solid resume that identifies your key skills and highlights your qualifications. Once you&#39;re satisfied that your resume clearly markets your skills, you can move on to step two of the job searching process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Step two is identifying various &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000041684&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Website&quot;&gt;web sites&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000002c292&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Newspapers&quot; rel=&quot;wikinvest nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Newspapers&quot;&gt;newspapers&lt;/a&gt; and other &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000002781e&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_media&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Mass media&quot;&gt;media&lt;/a&gt; that have potential job opportunities. It is a good idea to explore all of these options to ensure a greater selection of job postings. Once you have selected job ads and have found strong job leads, you can begin step three.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Step three is the application process. At this point, you will forward your &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000008556c8&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_letter&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Cover letter&quot;&gt;cover letter&lt;/a&gt; and resume to the employer in the proper format and specified method of sending your documents. Remember is it important to follow the correct method and instructions from the employer, beginning from the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000a1eb583&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_for_employment&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Application for employment&quot;&gt;job application&lt;/a&gt; process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Step four is the last step but crucial in the networking process. This step is where the follow up process begins. Once your application has been sent, it is a good idea to follow up with the employer. Remember even if you did not secure an interview, you may have made a great networking opportunity. Keep in mind, that there may be future positions available with these companies and making a good first impression is a lasting one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It all starts with a positive attitude and the correct techniques. With these steps, job searching can be a very successful and rewarding experience. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

It has many facilities; there is the awkwardness of meeting someone new face to face in a real dating situation. But in online dating since you are behind the keyboard, you feel more confident and relaxed while talking to your date. However, this also means you have no idea about how the person looks like or is at the end of the other computer. Hence, here are some precautions you should take while you are into online dating. Remember, it is always better to be safe than sorry!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; 1. Never give your real name, address or phone number at the first few meetings. Make sure you know the person well before you start giving personal information. You have no idea what the other person is in real life, so don’t endanger your security by giving access to him/her to your home. If you are using a &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Social network service&quot;&gt;social networking site&lt;/a&gt;, then make sure you use the message options in those sites. Refrain from giving your email address; spammers use them to create a database of unsuspecting &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;E-mail address&quot;&gt;email addresses&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; 2. Similarly, never give your financial details under any circumstances to your online date. Be wary of the dates that ask for &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Money&quot;&gt;money&lt;/a&gt; after some meeting or two. If you know the person for long and he sends you an email asking for some monetary help, even then don’t send with out personally checking with him or her. There are many Nigerian frauds that have cheated people by such methods. If someone wants to meet you and then gives hints or directly asks for money to come to you, be careful. Offer to fly there yourself instead of the other way round.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; 3. It is also not wise to send intimate photos to your online date until knowing them very well. With the help of photo editing &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Computer software&quot;&gt;software&lt;/a&gt;, your photo may end up in sleazy &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Website&quot;&gt;websites&lt;/a&gt; and thereby ruining your reputation and prestige.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; 4. If you decide to meet your online date, meet him/her in a very &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_space&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Public space&quot;&gt;public place&lt;/a&gt; like a popular restaurant or a bar. Never submit to offers of picking you up from home or office. While on the date, be careful of your drinks. It is better that you take your drinks yourself instead of your date bringing them to you. Also, if at any time you feel uncomfortable with your date, just apologize and walk away from him/her. It is also better if you don’t switch of your mobile and also return home alone (at least for the first few dates).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt; 5. Your instincts can be right regarding how much you should trust the person. While you are communicating with him/her online, look out for little red flags. See at any time whether the person makes you feel uncomfortable. If he or she is asking too many personal questions too soon, then that is something to worry about. But that does not mean you should stop dating people online; just keep your cool, listen to your instincts and may be you will be able to find your soul mate through the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Internet&quot;&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Fathers are angels sent from heaven.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Fathers, be good to your daughters. You are the god and the weight of  her world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;“Father I will always be that same boy who stood by the sea and  watched you tower over me.  Now I’m older I wanna be the same as you”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A father is someone that holds your hand at the fair, makes sure you  do what your mother says, holds back your hair when you are sick,  brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too busy, and  lets you eat ice cream for breakfast… but only when mother is away.&lt;br /&gt;
He walks you down the aisle and tells you everything’s gonna be okay!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person,  he believed in me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Jim Valvano&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I’ve had a hard life, but my hardships are nothing against the  hardships that my father went through in order to get me to where I  started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Bartrand Hubbard&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Clarence Budington Kelland&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother  would come out and say,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;“You’re tearing up the grass.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;“We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Harmon Killebrew&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;One father is more than a hundred Schoolmasters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs,  1640&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Bill Cosby&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes  death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for  getting him into that predicament.  But a child does owe his father a  debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his  coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash  through it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Clarence Budington Kelland&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A father is always making his baby into a little woman.  And when she  is a woman he turns her back again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Enid Bagnold&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and  sons.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could  hardly stand to have the old&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;man around.  But when I got to be  twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Mark%2BTwain&quot; rel=&quot;lastfm nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Mark Twain&quot;&gt;Mark Twain&lt;/a&gt;, “Old Times on the  Mississippi” Atlantic Monthly, 1874&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you  quicker if they didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and  violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to  beget children is a natural urge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Phyllis Diller&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Are we not like two volumes of one book?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Marceline Desbordes-Valmore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Red Buttons&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I don’t care how poor a man is; if he has family, he’s rich.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a  person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring  them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a  faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and  with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Dinah Craik&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat.   Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher’s  mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin  the three together.  Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game  and start all over again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a  baby, 1968&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his  father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Gabriel Garcia Marquez&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless;  and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be  childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Lord Chesterfield&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Don’t make a baby if you can’t be a father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: National Urban League Slogan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which  charmed their fathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Aldous Huxley&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A man’s desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate  himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the  world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Helen Rowland&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The worst misfortune that can happen to an ordinary man is to have an  extraordinary father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Austin O’Malley&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty  with the son who neglects them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Confucius&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father’s wisdom  than he who has a great deal left him does to his father’s care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Penn&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;William Penn&quot;&gt;William Penn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he  usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Charles Wadworth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care  about small boys.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;When Charles first saw our child Mary, he said all the proper things  for a new father.  He looked upon the poor little red thing and blurted,  “She’s more beautiful than the Brooklyn Bridge.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Helen Hayes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It is a wise father that knows his own child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: William Shakespeare&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Fathers, like mothers, are not born.  Men grow into fathers and  fathering is a very important stage in their development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: David Gottesman&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a  father’s protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Sigmund Freud&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his  father, both cry.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I have never been a material girl.  My father always told me never to  love anything that cannot love you back.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;You fathers will understand.  You have a little girl.  She looks up  to you.  You’re her oracle.  You’re her hero.  And then the day comes  when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party,  and from that day on, you’re in a constant state of panic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Stanley T.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one  aims at power and the other at independence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Samuel Johnson&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had  ended his earthly life.  You can never sympathize with me; you can never  know how much of me such a young child can take away.  A few weeks ago I  accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Ralph Waldo Emerson, on the death of  his son&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Knights of Pythagoras&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;“When a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born, too of  course, but at least for her it’s a gradual process. Body and soul, she  has nine months to get used to what’s happening. She becomes what’s  happening.  But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at  once.  On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up  something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the  first time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Frederick Buechner, ‘Whistling in the  Dark’&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen  and sixteen hours a day.  I saw him once literally bleed from the  bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to  speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and  hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five  real friends, then you’ve had a great life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Lee Iacocca&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a  real father.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Noble fathers have noble children.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of  children.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind  of man my Daddy is.  Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God,  Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Unknown&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Chinese Proverb&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;When I was a kid, my father told me every day, ‘You’re the most  wonderful boy in the world, and you can do anything you want to.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Jan Hutchins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in 50 years  what my father taught by example in one week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Mario Cuomo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;My father died many years ago, and yet when something special happens  to me, I talk to him secretly not really knowing whether he hears, but  it makes me feel better to half believe it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fathers Day Quote by: Josefowitz&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s right on, says &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=30.4405555556,-84.2913888889&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=30.4405555556,-84.2913888889%20%28Florida%20State%20University%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Florida State University&quot;&gt;Florida State University&lt;/a&gt; Sociology Professor John R. Reynolds, who just completed a study to determine whether unrealized educational expectations are associated with depression among adults. Reynolds also is the director of the Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy at Florida State. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;He and co-author Chardie L. Baird, an assistant professor of sociology at &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.1916666667,-96.5808333333&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=39.1916666667,-96.5808333333%20%28Kansas%20State%20University%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Kansas State University&quot;&gt;Kansas State University&lt;/a&gt;, found no long-term emotional costs of aiming high and falling short when it comes to educational aspirations, despite several social psychological theories that would seem to suggest otherwise. The researchers&#39; conclusion: Society should not discourage unpromising students who have dreams of earning a college degree. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;We should not be in a hurry to dissuade these students from planning to go to college,&quot; Reynolds said. &quot;In fact, the only way to guarantee negative &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Mental health&quot;&gt;mental health&lt;/a&gt; outcomes is not trying. Aiming high and failing is not consequential for mental health, while trying may lead to higher achievements and the mental and material benefits that go along with those achievements.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;Is There a Downside to Shooting for the Stars? Unrealized Educational Expectations and Symptoms of Depression,&quot; which was published in the American Sociological Review, is the first large, national study to look at the mental health consequences of failing to meet educational expectations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;My previous &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Research&quot;&gt;research&lt;/a&gt; showed that &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolescence&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Adolescence&quot;&gt;teenagers&lt;/a&gt; are increasingly unrealistic about what they will be able to achieve,&quot; Reynolds said. &quot;I wanted to see if there is anything wrong with that trend. Lots of theories predict that unmet goals will lead to frustration and anxiety. We were very surprised to find out that over-ambition is not a big concern, at least not from a mental health perspective.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Most young people in the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;amp;t=h&quot; rel=&quot;geolocation nofollow&quot; title=&quot;United States&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt; expect to attend college, earn a four-year degree and work in a professional occupation. Yet the extent to which teenagers&#39; achievement expectations are out of line with what they actually attain is also on the rise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;In a 2006 study, Reynolds and colleagues found that the gap between the percentage of high school seniors expecting to obtain bachelor&#39;s degrees and the percentage of young adults with a degree had doubled in the 25-year period between 1976 and 2000. In other words, increases in high school students&#39; college expectations outpaced increases in young adults&#39; achievements, a result they interpret as &quot;ambition inflation.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Several social psychological theories suggest that&#39;s a problem, albeit for different reasons. Self-discrepancy theory says that a gap between a person&#39;s ideal self and his or her actual self is detrimental to mental health. Another, &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_deprivation&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Relative deprivation&quot;&gt;relative deprivation theory&lt;/a&gt;, claims that individuals experience mental distress when they are deprived of a reward or status to which they feel entitled. Social stress theory asserts that &quot;non-events,&quot; such as not being married by a certain age or a promotion that never happens, are distressing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Reynolds and Baird used two national studies of youth, the National Longitudinal Study and the Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (ADD Health), both of which track respondents over a period of time, to test whether unrealized expectations are associated with depression in adulthood. Using data from more than 4,300 respondents, they compared the count of symptoms of depression for those who did and did not achieve their earlier educational plans and found little difference. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Those with lower levels of &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Education&quot;&gt;education&lt;/a&gt; did have more depression, but the depression was associated with the lower attainment, not any gap between plans and attainment, Reynolds said. Previous research has established that more educated individuals report better mental and physical health. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The researchers theorize that many young adults who did not reach their educational goals develop a sort of &quot;adaptive resilience&quot; that buffers them from the kind of depression that could result from feelings of failure. A dramatic increase in older undergraduates in recent years also suggests that young people do not necessarily believe they must meet their educational goals while still in their 20s. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;It may be that young adults can successfully adapt to the unexpected, focusing on the positive aspects of their transition to adulthood rather than dwelling on plans that have fallen through or have been put on hold indefinitely,&quot; Reynolds said. &quot;They might also deal with failed plans by extending the plans forward in time as achievements still to come. Young adults with college expectations may visualize having their entire lives to realize their educational plans.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of the screws was haughty and proud of it&#39;s shining head. The second screw was quiet, intent only on doing its job to the best of its ability. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day a speck of rust appeared on the head of the second screw. Filled with vain pride of its own beauty, the first screw began to laugh at the second. &quot;Your head is tarnished,&quot; the first said to the second. &quot;Look at you. Your perfect luster is gone.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second screw said nothing. Instead, it concentrated on what it was doing. &quot;How ugly you have become,&quot; the first screw chortled, &quot;and how beautiful I have remained.&quot; Then it began to laugh so hard at the second screw that it failed to notice that it was working itself loose. Finally it dropped off the engine and plunged into a small pool of dirty oil below.   &lt;br /&gt;
With the first screw no longer holding up its end of the load, the second was faced with doing the work of two. Meanwhile the first screw, now covered with grimy oil, wailed and lamented. &quot;Just look at me! I&#39;m dirty and filthy and all my beauty is gone. By laughing at the blemish on my friend the second screw, I worked myself loose and fell into the muck. Now I&#39;m doomed.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, it just so happened that a short time later the owner of the engine started it up. He immediately noticed that something didn&#39;t sound right -- the engine was running rough. When he checked, he instantly saw that one of the two screws holding the vital part was missing. &quot;Ah ha!&quot; the owner said. &quot;One of the screws must have worked itself loose and fell to the ground, but I don&#39;t see it. Maybe it fell into that puddle of old oil.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The owner reached into the oil and found the missing screw. &quot;Look at you,&quot; the owner said. &quot;You&#39;re all covered with grime and oil. How ugly you are. But I will fix that right away.&quot; The owner reached for a nearby rag and wiped all the oil and grime off the first screw until it shone even brighter than before. Then he replaced it on the part. Before he turned away, he noticed a little speck of tarnish on the head of the second screw. With the second rag, he wiped the head clean and bright. Then the owner walked away. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the engine was started. The two screws, now equally beautiful, held the part tight. &quot;Forgive me, my friend,&quot; the first screw said to the second. &quot;In my vanity, I was so busy laughing at your blemish that I did not notice that I was working myself loose.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;And what have you learned?&quot; the second screw quietly asked. &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I learned not to judge others because I have my own sins to deal with.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Then,&quot; the second screw said, &quot;I forgive you.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Thank you, my friend. And rest assured, my vanity will remain forever at the bottom of that dirty puddle of oil.&quot;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--

&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don&#39;t even do that. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Today I heard your speech. In which you said &#39;NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED&#39;. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement &#39;NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED&#39; is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn&#39;t it? &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency &amp;amp; CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn&#39;t it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn&#39;t even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people? &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;On the road to victory Obama won Ohio, a key battleground in American presidential politics, and held off assaults by McCain in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, the top two states that &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.democrats.org/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage nofollow&quot; title=&quot;Democratic Party (United States)&quot;&gt;Democrats&lt;/a&gt; won in 2004 and that McCain had fought to take back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Sixty-two percent of voters said the economy was the most important issue. Iraq was the most important for 10 percent, and terrorism and healthcare were each the top issue for nine percent of voters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;The economy had dominated the last leg of the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.johnmccain.com/&quot; rel=&quot;homepage nofollow&quot; title=&quot;John McCain presidential campaign, 2008&quot;&gt;campaign&lt;/a&gt; trail as Obama and McCain tried to convince voters that they are the best candidate to handle the financial crisis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Voters expressed excitement and pride in their country after casting their ballots Tuesday in what has proved to be a historic election.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

For just £16 fans can purchase a replica dress as sported by Hudgens in the  hugely successful Disney franchise. &lt;br /&gt;
Going on sale today by George at ASDA, the thinly-strapped black-and-white  number may not lead to a date with the film&#39;s heartthrob Zac Efron, but it will  add a much-needed touch of glamour to the winter wardrobe.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the brainy Gabriella Montez in the Disney series, Hudgens, 19, has gone  from relative obscurity to worldwide fame and become the envy of teenage girls  everywhere - especially as she dates Efron on screen and off.&lt;br /&gt;
Even finding herself at the centre of controversy last year after a nude  photo of her hit the internet has done little to dent Hudgens&#39; popularity.&lt;br /&gt;
Disney branded it &#39;a lapse in judgment&#39; at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHEJT-5Jt1_-8OrRHkZIJKw6RhHjsPNXe8aRKxXKeNzovBpaAAsdbyLV0nLbohY3Bd23eXqDTnJbMPM3CWxQ9orkzGniz0andFX3K74URsQ17KLOvq9ug8AcR-S_Y9ls9g3iSQOD9nbgE/s1600-h/article-1078990-022D4356000005DC-525_468x581.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8LHh9cAKHoRRipvMxYQjgxLzqdyP3jI49hTgFccKUlsQKmz51Ss805nK23xMa4WehEVe5dNTPyoeqlSUnv_WOWcGTR_UAV7DfCTXOB_3og1mjmHVTLe6yZcFfoQL8g4WoCRLebMLIRRo/s200-r/article-1078990-022D4356000005DC-525_468x581.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;She weathered the scandal and can currently be seen in High School Musical 3:  Senior Year, opposite Efron, who plays basketball star Troy Bolton. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This time round, the high school sweethearts face the prospect of attending  different colleges. To celebrate their hopes and appease their fears for the  future, they throw a musical...of course. &lt;br /&gt;
High School Musical&#39;s success increased Disney&#39;s revenues last year by £500  million, with 670 spin-off products, including clothes, dolls, the inevitable  mobile ringtones and a video game in time for Christmas.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--

Some people may realise their dream of renting a villa in Albox Spain. Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit and rent property in various cities and villages each year in Spain. However if you want to experience something special then spend some time in Albox just in land from the the beautiful Costa Tropical in Granada, then you can opt for villas to rent in Albox Spain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This is a brilliant way to cover the annual expenses associated with owning an apartment abroad. More astute owners also provide their tenants with a Spanish apartment with sky TV and also consider leasing their &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://itsmyworld2007.blogspot.com/search/label/spanish%20apartment...&quot;&gt;Spanish homes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or villas for both long term as well as shorter holiday periods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Do you spend a lot of time flipping through magazines and analyzing the wardrobe choices of others? Do you buy trendy items only to despise them--and yourself--later?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Trend-watching--and, more precisely, observing our trend-watching--gives us tremendous opportunities to create awareness of the traits we hope we have but are not sure we do. In fact, being frustrated, embarrassed, or depressed that we have succumbed to a trend is a perfect chance to discover what we value most.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;It usually comes down to this: creativity and confidence. If we find ourselves buying that trendy little bag or those must-have shoes, that little voice inside us shouts “Sell-out!” and we start to feel that perhaps we’re not all we’d hoped to be. After all, a truly creative person would buy--or even make--something unique, and a confident person wouldn’t hesitate to go against the current trend and head in a completely different direction, or choose to buy nothing at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;And thus begins a soak in the self-loathing tub, followed inevitably by an abandoned item at the bottom of the closet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;To avoid this, you must pay attention to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;What trendy items are buried in your closet at this moment? Why did you buy them? Who were you with when you made the purchase? How were you feeling about the world in general and yourself in particular?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;A little mindful shopping will help alleviate the Trendoid syndrome. And while you’re at it, check in with yourself on that monologue going through your head when you see others sporting the latest fashion fetish. You’ll learn a whole lot about YOURSELF if you listen carefully and--this is the hard part--non-judgmentally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;If you do melt at that crucial cash register moment, don’t berate yourself. Simply take note of the way you feel now, and pay attention to how you feel later. Can you see that downward slide? Ah. That’s better. Things are getting clearer now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Buying into a trend helps us feel connected when what we really long for is a sense of confidence. Take a look at how you can create greater confidence WITHOUT buying that blouse-of-the-moment, and find ways to tweak the latest trend in a way that makes you feel more creative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Fashion can be fun and absolutely harmless, and you can use your mindful mall meanders to tap into your own sense of who you are--and what you REALLY need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Now, that’s what I call a perfect shopping day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--
