Sales back at J.C. Penney: Can they recover from their marketing fumble?

Only a year after swearing off sales, J.C. Penney is bringing them back. J.C. Penney used to run some 600 sales each year, but isn't saying how many are coming back.

By Anne d'Innocenzio,?AP Retail Writers / January 28, 2013

This image provided by J.C. Penney shows the company's new advertising campaign. Penney is still embracing its ?fair and square? strategy as the cornerstone of its reinvention plan, and says the promotions will be targeted. But the latest tactic acknowledges that middle-income shoppers can't be weaned off sales.

The struggling department store chain this week will begin adding back some of the hundreds of sales it ditched last year in hopes of luring shoppers who were turned off when the discounts disappeared, CEO Ron Johnson told The Associated Press.

Penney also plans to add price tags or signs for more than half of its merchandise to show customers how much they're saving by shopping at the chain ? a strategy used by a few other retailers. For store-branded items such as Arizona, Penney will show comparison prices from competitors.

The reversal comes on the eve of the one-year anniversary of its original vow to almost completely get rid of the sales that Americans covet but that cut into a store's profits. The idea was to offer everyday low prices that customers could count on rather than the nearly 600 fleeting discounts, coupons and sales it once offered.

The bold plan has been closely watched by others in the retail industry, which commonly offers deep discounts to draw shoppers. But so far the experiment has served as a cautionary tale of how difficult it is to change shoppers' habits: Penney next month is expected to report its fourth consecutive quarter of big sales drops and net losses. After losing more than half of its value, Penney's stock is trading at about $19. And the company's credit ratings are in junk status.

Johnson, who rolled out the pricing plan shortly after taking the top job in November 2011, told The Associated Press the latest moves are not a "deviation" from his strategy but rather an "evolution."

"Our sales have gone backward a little more than we expected, but that doesn't change the vision or the strategy," said Johnson, who previously masterminded Apple Inc.'s retail stores and Target Corp.'s cheap chic fashion strategy. "We made changes and we learned an incredible amount. That is what's informing our tactics as we go forward."

But critics say Johnson is backpedaling. Walter Loeb, a New York-based retail consultant, said Johnson "is now realizing that he has to be more promotional to attract shoppers."

The pricing strategy has been a key part of Johnson's plan to reinvent Penney, which had failed to change with the times as its competitors updated their stores to make them cool places to shop. The plan includes adding hip new brands such as Joe Fresh and replacing racks of clothing with small shops-within-stores by 2015. But this isn't the first time the pricing strategy has been tweaked.

When it was rolled out in February 2012, the plan entailed permanently slashing prices on everything in the store by 40 percent. Penney decided to have just 12 month-long sales events on some merchandise. And there would be periodic clearance events throughout the year.

But the new pricing plan wasn't well received on Wall Street or Main Street, so six months after launching it, Johnson ditched the month-long sales, saying that they were too confusing to shoppers. Johnson said Penney has learned that people don't shop on a monthly basis, but rather they buy when they need something for say, back-to-school or during the winter holidays. And during those times, he said, they're looking for even more value.

"I still believe that the customer knows the right price, but they want help," he said.

Penney declined to say how many sales events it will offer going forward, citing competitive reasons. But the company said the figure will still be well below the nearly 600 it used to offer. The company said the discounts will vary depending on the sale. From Feb. 1 through Feb. 14, for instance, shoppers will get 20 percent off some jewelry for Valentine's Day. One example: half-carat diamond heart pendants on sale for $96, below Penny's?everyday price of $120.

Actor Burt Reynolds released from hospital after flu bout

(Reuters) - American actor Burt Reynolds has left a Florida hospital after a battle with the flu, a representative for the "Smokey and the Bandit" star said on Tuesday.

"Burt has been released from the hospital," said Reynolds' manager, Erik Kritzer.

Reynolds, 76, was admitted to an unidentified hospital last week with dehydration and was later placed in intensive care.

Reynolds is best known for his roles in 1970s films such as "Deliverance" and "The Longest Yard."

He won a Golden Globe award and scored an Oscar nomination for his role as a porn king in the 1997 film "Boogie Nights."

Reynolds underwent heart bypass surgery in 2010.

Blog Design for Killer Search Engine Optimization [INFOGRAPHIC ...

For most businesses, implementation of a blog is a core component of a content marketing strategy that is designed to attract more and more visitors who can be educated through blog posts and converted into customers. While the creation of great, compelling content is a key aspect of that strategy, it?s also extremely important that your blog is optimized for search engines. The best blog post in the world is worth nothing if no one knows about it and can?t find it!

I recently found an infograph entitled ?Blog Design for Killer Search Engine Optimization? which did an outstanding job of covering the important points in making sure that your blog platform is as good as it can be. Unfortunately, the infograph itself was designed very poorly. You?ll find it below and I believe, like me, you will find it extremely hard to read due to the design and color choices. So, I decided to take the time to transcribe the points being made so that they can be more easily communicated.

01 Beauty Counts

Professional Design can reduce bounce rate, increase page views and earn more links.

Your design should also be carried through to your other platforms and social networks for consistent branding.

02 Search Box

Make it easy for visitors to search your site.

Don?t assume that visitors will automatically know where to go within your site to find what they?re looking for.

03 RSS is Alive!

Encourage RSS subscriptions with well-placed buttons.

There are approximately 7,784,292 websites using RSS, and 21% of the top 10,000 sites use RSS.

04 Breadcrumbs

Used by visitors for navigation and by search engines to help categorize your content.

Breadcrumbs are particularly useful if you have a website where visitors will click through several successive pages that carry them deep within your site. If your site really only has one or two levels of links, tags and categories may provide more intuitive structure.

05 Navigation

Use HTML and CSS to create sensible navigation. Avoid links that rely on javascript or Flash.

Flash should really be discouraged regardless of usage.

06 Images

Keep the sizes optimized to reduce page load times. Use alt text attributes and define width and height.

Utilize thumbnails and lightbox scripts whenever possible.

07 Keep it Above the Fold

Place important content where visitors can see it without scrolling.

For most users and desktop browsers, this means keeping within the top 768 pixels.

08 Link to Your Best Content

Create unique category or hub pages to feature your best posts.

.12 is the correlation between the # of internal links on a page and higher rankings.

09 Don?t Overdo Links

Too many [links will] dilute your link juice and may cause crawling issues. A limit of 100 per page is a good rule of thumb.

It?s also confusing and overwhelming to visitors! Avoid blogrolls and sidebar archives.

10 Watch Your Ad Space

Don?t let ads outweigh your unique content. Too many ads may hurt your rankings.

Again, it?s also overwhelming. If a visitor comes to your site and finds a site filled with ads, it may be difficult for them to view your content and find actual value in your website.

11 Encourage Comments

Comments build a sense of community, attract links and provide free long tail content.

Read more:?How To Manage and Encourage Comments

12 Sharing for Everyone

Make your content easy to share via social sites and email.

Sharing produces 10% of all internet traffic. 51% of content is shared on Facebook, 11% on Twitter and 7% by email.

13 Test for Speed

Reduce page bloat by optimizing images, combining CSS into external files and enabling caching.

02.90 Seconds is the median page load speed. Make sure your site loads at least that fast.

14 Crawl and Validate

Test your blog using online SEO tools to crawl and validate your site.

Work with your web developer to ensure that search engines (and visitors) won?t encounter any errors with your site.

15 Pick a Powerhouse Platform

Domain Authority Platform # of Linking Domains 99 wordpress.org 2,272,879 95 drupal.org 95,572 94 joomla.org 340,036 90 tumblr.com 379,443 90 posterous.com 155,630 88 moveabletype.com 15,494 87 b2evolution.net 13,287 85 typepad.com 381,982

The problem with this ranking is that is it trying to compare major blogging platforms based on the authority of the system?s domain name. However, Drupal and Joomla sites (and many WordPress sites), are self-hosted. That means that you are using your own domain name for your website, rather than?byname.wordpress.org. Since we recommend that every?business use their own unique domain name for their website and blog, the authority of the system?s domain is irrelevant.

For self-hosted websites, Drupal is our primary recommendation. If you?re going to use a free blogging service, WordPress or Blogger are great choices.

Factors that May Cause SEO Problems

• Pages that are all images without text
• Links that rely on Javascript or Ajax
• Heavy use of Flash
• Frames
• Content hidden behind form submissions
• 100s of links
• Hidden text

Here?s the original infograph:

How many of these factors hav you already incorporated into your own blog? Would you add anything else?

Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8

The Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 ($1,399 direct) is one of those lenses that photographers often think about adding to their arsenal, but are reluctant to do so as it isn't an everyday optic. The lens allows for tilt and shift movements that were commonplace in large format film cameras?of old, which often had a bellows system between the film holder and lens. This allowed photographers to carefully adjust the angle at which light captured by the lens hit the negative. But you needed a sturdy tripod?and film had to be loaded sheet-by-sheet into holders in total darkness. The move to small, portable cameras largely eliminated this movement capability, instead keeping the lens strictly parallel to the film plane. Specialized lenses with tilt and shift capability like the TS-E 90mm f/2.8 bring that ability back to a camera that you can carry in one hand?though you'll want probably still want to use a tripod.

Shifting the lens up or down has practical applications in architectural photography, and doesn't affect the plane of focus. It is useful for those times when you are photographing a tall object and can't get quite enough lift from your tripod to shoot it dead on?angling the head up results in keystone distortion, the same type you experience when craning your neck up to peer to the top of a tall building.

Tilting the lens changes the angle at which light hits the image sensor. This makes it possible to focus on a subject that lies on a diagonal plane, while still maintaining a fairly shallow depth of field, or to focus on only one object in a straight focal plane, blurring others that would normally also be in sharp focus. It's the same principle that creates the diorama-like miniature effect when shooting distant subjects?you can blur the background and foreground, leaving the middle of an image in sharp focus. This mimics the look of a macro lens shooting a miniature world, and is now often built into cameras as a specialized art filter.

If this is a capability that you feel that is missing from your camera bag, the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 is a good way to get started. It has a relatively long focal length?Canon makes similar lenses in 17mm, 24mm, and 45mm focal lengths if they are better suited for your photography. The 90mm lens measures 3.5 by 2.9 inches (HD), weighs in at a hefty 1.2 pounds, and uses 58mm filters?the front element does not rotate as you manually focus the lens, so using a polarizing filter is possible.

Imatest showed the lens to be incredibly sharp when mounted to the Canon EOS 6D. At f/2.8 it recorded 2,486 lines per picture height?a score that is much better than the 1,800 lines required for a sharp image. It's sharp across the frame, as the lens projects a much larger image circle than is required to cover a full-frame sensor in order to account for the tilt and shift movements. It peaks in resolution at f/5.6, where it records 2,770 lines. Distortion is a non-issue?our tests showed less than 0.2 percent pincushion distortion. Shifting the lens to its extreme does soften it a bit, but not terribly. At full shift the lens manages 2,262 lines at f/2.8, 2,424 lines at f/4, and 2,636 lines at f/5.6.

If you feel that you can justify the cost of the Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 lens, the quality of images it captures will not disappoint you. The shift function is likely to appeal to architectural and landscape photographers who will use it to eliminate the keystone effect from their photos, and the tilt effect can be used for technical and artistic reasons alike.

Davos Needs Parents of Both Sexes - NYTimes.com

Reporting from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Nicholas Kristof describes a ?sea of men.? In ?She?s (Rarely) the Boss,? he writes that female participation at the ?annual conclave of the presumed powerful? is 17 percent. No word on how many of those 17 percent are mothers of young children, or how many of the 83 percent of male attendees are fathers who made sure to arrange for suitable child care before they came.

Why so few women? Mr. Kristof offers Sheryl Sandberg?s ?provocative? general answer to the question of why women are underrepresented in positions of power from her forthcoming book, ?Lean In?:

?We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in. We internalize the negative messages we get throughout our lives, the messages that say it?s wrong to be outspoken, aggressive, more powerful than men. We lower our own expectations of what we can achieve. We continue to do the majority of the housework and child care. We compromise our career goals to make room for partners and children who may not even exist yet.?

There is something real and important in what she says, Mr. Kristof argues, citing his experiences of men asking questions more readily, along with a McKinsey survey (36 percent of male employees at major companies aspired to be top executives, compared with 18 percent of the women) and a study of Carnegie Mellon M.B.A. graduates in 2003 (57 percent of the men, but only 7 percent of the women, tried to negotiate a higher initial salary offer).

Neither Ms. Sandberg nor Mr. Kristof blames women for the numeric effect of their many failures and compromises, and both give significant weight to history, nature, social mores and the fact that, as Mr. Kristof puts it, ?the modern job was built for the distracted father.? But there is so much more to the story of why women are underrepresented in Davos, in boardrooms and in corporate executive roles.

In a complex, forthcoming study from the researchers Serena Chen at the University of California, Berkeley and Melissa Williams of Emory University, women who were asked to imagine a life in which they made most of the household decisions for a family consisting of a small child and a spouse showed less interest in achieving power in the workplace than women who imagined sharing those household decisions with a spouse, whereas men asked to imagine the same situations showed no change in their workplace ambitions.

A (male) writer, considering this data, produced a piece for The Huffington Post with the headline ?Working Moms Study: Household Managers Found to Have Less Ambition at Work? (The short line in the link? ?working-moms-less-likely-leaders?).

The researchers theorized that women were more likely to value household power, and therefore to feel less hypothetically in need of workplace power (unlike The Huffington Post writer, I find it hard to extrapolate from the imagined desires of research subjects to the real world), but the result was still yet another negative headline about women in the workplace.

This research seems to support Ms. Sandberg?s argument: even women imagining managing a household with a child ?lean back.? But we have to consider the extent to which that household (even the hypothetical household) pushes mothers back.

From birth to age 5 or 6, that single child will need someone present to care for her during every one of her waking and sleeping hours. That care has to be provided by a parent or paid for (and the parent who works at home caring for his or her child is ?paying? for child care in lost earnings elsewhere). Only when she?s old enough for public school does society support ? in the purely economic sense ? the idea that both of that child?s parents could work outside the home, and then one parent is expected (again, in the economic sense of a publicly provided alternative to the child being at home with the parent) to be present after 3 p.m.

Those are cold, hard economic facts (and please understand that they aren?t meant to reflect the very real emotional pleasures and even economic gains of having children). Men, who are accustomed to having women deal most fully with the consequences of that unavoidable requirement, may be more able to see it as less limiting. The fact that the men in the above hypothetical study weren?t daunted by the proposition of being wholly responsible for arranging that care may show an admirable level of ambition, but it may also show a poor grasp of reality.

The most salient line in Ms. Sandberg?s words was this one: ?We continue to do the majority of the housework and child care.? We ? as in, we women ? do, and that makes it difficult. But do we women continue to do the majority of the housework and child care because we want to? Because we have to? Because we?re expected to?

I?m not even sure we know the answer to that question. Regardless, until that greater household burden on women changes, the number of mothers in Davos won?t change. Two things could help: more fathers taking on real equal roles in child-rearing, and more structural support, not for women, but for families. Families who need paid sick leave. Families who need paternity and maternity leave. Families who need access to affordable, high-quality day care, and to birth control, and to preventative health care. (And unless you sprang from the brow of Zeus fully formed, those issues affect those without children as well.)

All of those are economic issues, and they certainly have an economic impact, in different ways, in different societies, worldwide. Lifting families from poverty requires all of those things. So they?ll probably be at least touched on in Davos. But will they be discussed in the same way as if 50 percent of the attendees were women, and if the other 50 percent were men who had always had, and expected to have, a gender-neutral equal role in family life?

No.

Running in the winter is (s)no(w) joke - Sports - The DePaulia - The ...

It?s 30 degrees outside and instead of getting a cup of hot chocolate, I?m on my way to the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center to go on my first winter run.

Inside the Ray, the sound of students talking hums in the background as I nervously stand and wait for the other runners to appear. Dressed in leggings, a black long-sleeve Under Armour, grey sweater and worn-out sneakers, I?m beginning to wonder if someone will think that I?m an imposter.

Just as I?m about to do some stretches to blend in, DePaul junior Christina Verrilli, 20, appears.

?I?m so excited,? she said. ?It?s been a long day and I?ve been looking forward to going on a run.?

I laugh and reply, ?That?s funny. I?ve been dreading this moment all day.?

Not long after, we see Katie Marquard, a DePaul alumni and the creator of Run with the Ray. We walk up to her and after she greets us she asks me what my pace is. I think for a moment and then reply, ?Not that fast ? more on the slow side.?

Next we are joined by two more runners: DePaul sophomore Anna Slotterback and Sarah Zweber, a local runner and Marquard?s friend.

?All right, it looks like no one else is coming,? said Marquard. ?We can get going.?

I pull on my hat and gloves, and take a deep breath as I follow the others through the door. As soon as I step outside, the icy wind hits my face and a shiver runs down my spine. I?m afraid that I won?t be able to move, but somehow I find myself running alongside Slotterback.

As we run down Webster, 19-year-old Slotterback talks to me about what it?s like making costumes at the theatre school, and before long we are turning on Lakewood and from there onto Dickens. We stop in front of Running Away Multi Sport, which is located at 2219 N. Clybourn Ave., and go inside to drink water. Marquard tells us that we are doing great and attaches a clip with flashing lights to each of us so that we will be more visible to drivers.

At this point I?m sure that we?ve run at least almost half of our run, but Marquard tells me that was only a little over half a mile and the full route is about four miles.

We leave the store and slowly split up: Verrilli, Slotterback and Zweber run ahead, and Marquard stays in the back with me. I am no longer cold, but burning hot. The challenge now is my aching legs and shortness of breath. Marquard asks me if I need to slow down and I say yes. I can still see the other girls in the distance, their flashing lights getting dimmer and dimmer in the dark shadows of the surrounding buildings.

Instead of going the full route, Marquard decides that she and I will run down Dickens to Oz Park, and from there up Webster back to the Ray. I am relieved and start to feel calmer.

As we run, an old man walking on the sidewalk moves out of way for us to pass, but I still run around him because I?m afraid of hitting him.

?Hey! Why didn?t you let me be a gentleman?? he says with a smile. I begin to laugh and I can?t believe that I?m actually enjoying running outside in the cold.

When the run is over, Marquard tells me that I ran 2.5 miles and gives me a high five. I feel like I cheated because the other runners ran more, but at the same time that?s the furthest I?ve ever run outside so I?m proud.

Run with the Ray is a club at DePaul that started this year and meets every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Marquard, an Ironman Triathlon finisher and employee of Running Away Multi Sport, said that she started Run with the Ray because she used to work at the Ray and wanted to get involved with the running community at DePaul.

Marquard said that runners don?t have to stop running outside in the winter, but there are some important tips that they should follow if they decide to: always wear reflective clothing; wear a light; if their run is longer than three miles, they should have hydration with them; if their run is two miles, they should stop somewhere in between to get water; wear hats and gloves; and they don?t need to necessarily wear a lot of layers, unless it?s windy.

?I enjoy running in the winter,? said Marquard. ?I?ve ran in 10 degrees and below. You actually burn more calories running in the cold.?

Slotterback and Verrilli, who both ran cross-country in high school, gave their reactions to the winter run.

?Running outside in the winter is tough,? said Verrilli. ?But I still like to keep my cardio and fitness up. I thoroughly enjoy running with others, so Run with the Ray was a perfect match.?

However, Verrilli said that she wouldn?t run below in snowy, below 20 degree conditions.

?It was my first time running in the winter,? said Slotterback. ?I am from San Francisco and it is always around 55 to 60 degrees, so it was quite the experience. But not as bad as I thought. I am a little scared to run in 15 degrees.?

Even though the turnout for the run was only five people, both Verrilli and Slotterback said that they plan to continue to come to Run with the Ray. As for me, I may have to think about it.

Learn Some Of The Simple Steps Of Home Improvement

Home improvement projects take a lot of effort to begin, whether you have a lot of knowledge and skill or not. Do not allow the TV home improvement shows fool you. Home improvements consist of more than just big jobs. Keep reading to see all of the potential things you can try out.

Basements generally have little, if any, natural light. To ensure your basement is more livable, plan your artificial lighting layout carefully. If you luck out, you have have high, protruding walls from ground level in your basement. If you do, windows may be installable and they would create natural lighting.

Even a small home improvement project can mean a big increase in your home's value. If you are considering the sale of your home, think about making one or two little improvements. For example, you can paint the interior and exterior of your home. Doing this simple job, which only costs a few hundred dollars, can add almost ,000 to the value of your home!

Make sure you have the gear you need before getting started on a new project. You always should procure a harness for your back if you are lifting heavy things, and also a helmet to protect you from falling objects.

You can dress up pillows in any room which can be a simple project. You can use old t-shirts with neat designs, band shirts, or even jeans to cut and sew into pillows. Personalize your teen's room and add some spice without spending a lot of money.

Purchasing brand new furniture is a very costly enterprise. Perhaps you can acquire some quirky pieces from estate sales and thrift shops. You might find real treasures amongst your used items, like furniture for instance. Some may require a bit of work, but with the right time invested, they can be a real asset to your household.

Here is a helpful tip that can help with the problem of water that is too hard. Purchase a water softener and filter your water through it. Through a variety of chemical processes, these appliances reduce water's hardness by extracting the magnesium and calcium that cause hard water. Water softeners that operate on chemical tablets are a popular and cost-effective choice. Choose the one that fits your needs.

When improving the exterior of your home, you can save money and add security by installing motion detecting lights. Motion sensing lights stay off until they detect motion in their path, and then they turn on automatically. This also means intruders will think twice about approaching any home with motion detection lights, in fear that they will be spotted.

When you are going to be doing home improvements that may inconvieience your neighbors, let them know ahead of time. Often, major renovation jobs will require trucks, heavy equipment or a dumpster, so you need to prepare for them. If you let your neighbors know ahead of time, they will most likely be less annoyed and inconvenienced.

As mentioned earlier, home improvement projects can benefit anyone that undertakes them. While it's good to be an expert at home improvements, knowing basic information is helpful. Just remember to use these tips on your next project.

Obama says struggling over whether to intervene in Syria

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said he has been wrestling with the question whether a U.S. military intervention in Syria's 22-month-old civil war would help resolve the bloody conflict or make things worse.

In a pair of interviews, Obama responded to critics who say the United States has not been involved enough in Syria, where thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced according to U.N. officials. Transcripts of both interviews were released on Sunday.

The United States has called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, and has recognized an opposition coalition - but has stopped short of authorizing U.S. arming of rebels to overthrow Assad.

"In a situation like Syria, I have to ask: can we make a difference in that situation?" Obama said in an interview with The New Republic published on the magazine's website.

Obama said he has to weigh the benefit of a military intervention with the ability of the Pentagon to support troops still in Afghanistan, where the United States is withdrawing combat forces after a dozen years of war.

"Could it trigger even worse violence or the use of chemical weapons? What offers the best prospect of a stable post-Assad regime?

"And how do I weigh tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo?" he said.

Obama's comments come as world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, said they wished the United States were more engaged in geopolitical issues such as the conflicts in Syria and Mali, where France is attacking al Qaeda-affiliated militants.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Saturday that the United States will fly tankers to refuel French jet fighters, expanding U.S. involvement, which had been limited to sharing intelligence and providing airlift support.

In an interview with CBS television program "60 Minutes," Obama bristled when asked to respond to criticism that the United States has been reluctant to engage in foreign policy issues like the Syrian crisis.

Obama said his administration put U.S. warplanes into the international effort to oust Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, and led a push to force Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak from office.

But in Syria, his administration wants to make sure U.S. action would not backfire, he said.

"We do nobody a service when we leap before we look, where we ... take on things without having thought through all the consequences of it," Obama told CBS.

"We are not going to be able to control every aspect of every transition and transformation" in conflicts around the world, he said. "Sometimes they're going to go sideways."

Stretching for Pain Relief | Natural Holistic Health Blog

Stretching your body?s muscles will actually enhance the healing process.

Next to breathing and breath work, stretching is the most beneficial exercises we can do for better health.

Done in tandem, breath work and stretching are the best support for easing aches, pain, tension, headaches, tight muscles and unexplained pain elsewhere in the body.

The different types of stretching

Just as there are different types of flexibility, there are also different types of stretching. Stretches are either dynamic (meaning they involve motion) or static (meaning they involve no motion).

Dynamic stretches affect dynamic flexibility and static stretches affect static flexibility (and dynamic flexibility to some degree).

When done properly, stretching can do more than just increase flexibility.

Benefits of stretching include:

• ?enhanced physical fitness
• ?enhanced ability to learn and perform skilled movements
• ?increased mental and physical relaxation
• ?enhanced development of body awareness
• ?reduced risk of injury to joints, muscles, and tendons
• ?reduced muscular soreness
• ?reduced muscular tension
• ?increased suppleness due to stimulation of the production of chemicals which, lubricate connective tissues
• ?reduced severity of painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) in females

Things to remember when beginning a stretching routine:

• Wear comfortable clothes that won?t restrict body movement
• Stretching should be pain free; don?t force the body into difficult positions
• Move into each stretch slowly and avoid bouncing, which can actually tear muscles
• Stretch on a clean, flat surface which is large enough to move freely
• Hold stretches long enough (20-30 seconds) to allow muscles or joints to become loose
• Repeat the stretch, generally 5 ? 10 times

The most effective stretches

One good over all stretch for your body is to lie on the floor and gently bring your knees up to your chest. Once there, put a little pressure on your knees with two hands.

Gently raise your head up toward the knees. Breath, in, out, in out?..slowly. Stretch, then relax. Repeat.

The effect of stretching on healing

Stretching your body?s muscles will actually enhance the healing process.

Long, slow static stretching will help to increase blood flow and circulation, eliminating stasis and help to warm and invigorate the muscles and in turn lubricate the ligaments and joints.

Stretching the whole body will help heal pain even if that pain is localized to one area. This is true because all areas of the body are connected through the fascia which is a sheath that covers and surrounds all of the musculature throughout the body. So, it?s important to stretch the whole body.

One of the best over all stretches is the Sun Salutation

The Repug/Tea Bagged along with being merged into the fundamentalist absolutism of the Christian Taliban of America have also converted their politics into the same religious model. Failure to believe in and act in accordance with the political ideology of the party are treated as sinners, heretics and apostates and driven out. They have simply begun using 'primaries' as Inquisitions to purge the unfaithful. This religious paradigm of faith and belief leads not only to a susceptibility to conspiracies and witch-hunts but an intentional use of them for power and control. It has become harder and harder to tell whether they have become unable or unwilling to tell the difference between fact and belief. Consider the Romney/Ryan campaign et alia on election night either being divorced from fact or unable to accept that what they believed was not true. And the problem goes on, the Repug/Tea Bagged acting like religious zealots preaching that it is not their Political hymn that is wrong it is the key thay are singing in that is to blame. <p> <span class="report-message">Why is this inappropriate? </span><br/><textarea id="abuse_msg-4102234" name="abuse_msg-4102234"/><br/><button onclick="javascript: report_abuse(4102234, document.getElementById('abuse_msg-4102234').value); ">Send Report</button> <button onclick="javascript: hide_abuse_form('report-4102234'); ">Cancel</button> </p> <p>Your report has been submitted to Customer Service.

In fact, he said, "What we are doing now to govern ourselves is not just wrong, it is out of date and it is a failure." Those are strong words. Surely, they couldn't get any stronger, right? Wrong. "<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_0">Washington</span> has spent a generation trying to bribe our citizens and extort our states," Jindal added. "As Republicans, it's time to quit arguing around the edges of that corrupt system." Well, Bobby wins the hyperbole award. But what the heck is he talking about? </p><p>Understanding the context of Jindal's speech, he's starting to talk about running for president. Jindal's speech was something of a centerpiece at the Republican National Convention's winter meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday. He spoke directly and specifically about what Republicans need to do to "win elections and lead <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_25">America</span>." Seven steps were involved. Jindal said, "We must compete for every single vote. The 47 percent and the 53 percent. And any other combination of numbers that adds up to 100 percent." At one point, he even described the GOP as a "populist party." For a 2016 hopeful with a pretty bright spotlight shined upon him, Bobby Jindal said some pretty forceful things. </p><p>The only problem is that the Republican audience didn't really seem to buy it. Reporting from Charlotte, BuzzFeed's Zeke Miller said that the speech was "cooly received."?It certainly didn't help that Jindal opened his speech with a joke about Mitt Romney's failed campaign. (Too soon?) Later, he literally said, "We've got to stop being the stupid party." Here's a pro tip for all you aspiring politicians out there: If you're trying to win the support of a party and ask them carry you to office -- especially the highest office in the land -- it's probably a good idea not to call them stupid. It's even better if you don't follow up your stupid comment with this sentence: "I'm serious, it's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults." </p><p>This feels like d?j??vu. Four years ago, Jindal gave the official Republican rebuttal to President Obama's first State of the Union Address, and it was not awesome. At least, according to the pundits it wasn't. Both Democrats and Republicans alike described Jindal's speech as "amateurish" and "laughable." Some compared him to Kenneth Parcell, the possibly illiterate and certainly backwards page character on NBC's <em>30 Rock</em>. Sam Stein from The Huffington Post seemed comparatively generous when he described Jindal as "a little bit wet behind the ears" while others "focused on his hokey, folksy, seemingly-forced tone and vernacular." All things considered, however, that primetime national television appearance didn't exactly catapult Jindal into a presidential candidacy. ? </p><p>Well, despite that poorly received rebuttal and this most recent cooly received rebuttal, it looks like Jindal is going for it. Politico describes the Louisiana governor as an "all-but-declared 2016 candidate," and Jindal's lofty rherotic suggests that he's not just here to watch from the sidelines. He's certainly not scared of being assertive when he takes the field either. Bobby Jindal is ready to shake things up, for better or worse. "No, the Republican Party does not need to change our principles," Jindal said on Thursday. "But we might need to change just about everything else we do." </p> <p> Thank you all for having me here tonight. And thank you Reince for the outstanding leadership you provide to the Republican Party. And I want to thank our great RNC members from Louisiana, Chairman Roger Villere, National Committeewoman Lenar Whitney, and National Committeeman Ross Little for all of their hard work.</p> <p> Let me warn you in advance that I plan to talk big picture here tonight, and I plan to say some things that may challenge your assumptions.?</p> <p> You may not agree with all of it, but that's ok, ours is a party that can handle real discussions.?</p> <p> And now, after losing two Presidential elections in a row, is certainly the time for some candid discussion.</p> <p><strong>I. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_26">America</span> is not the federal government.</strong></p> <p> The first concept I want to talk about is simply this ? <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_27">America</span> is not the federal government.</p> <p> Take a minute to let that thought sink in. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_28">America</span> is not the federal government.?</p> <p> In fact, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_29">America</span> is not much about government at all. In <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_30">America</span>, government is one of those things you have to have, but you sure don't want too much of it?kind of like your in-laws.</p> <p> This is of course the polar opposite of the political debate in our country today.?</p> <p> At present we have one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can expand it, and one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can get it under control.?</p> <p> It's a terrible debate, it's a debate fought entirely on our opponents' terms.?</p> <p> A debate about which party can better manage the federal government is a very small and shortsighted debate.?</p> <p> If our vision is not bigger than that, we do not deserve to win.</p> <p> In our public discourse today, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_31">America</span> is pretty much defined by government, by the latest moves that occur in Washington.?</p> <p> If you landed from outer space?and read the news?and watched TV for a week?you would have to conclude that <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_1">Washington</span> is the hub of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_32">America</span> and that what happens in Washington is what drives and dictates the success or failure of America.?</p> <p> In addition to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_2">Washington</span>, there are a bunch of outlying areas we call states, but they are pretty much just adjuncts of the federal government.</p> <p> This is not the idea of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_33">America</span>. But?this is what <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_34">America</span> will become if we do not reorient our way of thinking right away.?</p> <p> As government grows ever larger, it will become what <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_35">America</span> is all about?if we let it. This is our challenge; this is what we are here for.</p> <p> Look at the debates that have dominated <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_3">Washington</span> in just the last few weeks:</p> <p> The fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling, and Joe Biden's gun control task force.?</p> <p> These are in reality sideshows in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_4">Washington</span> that we have allowed to take center stage in our country ? and as conservatives, we are falling into the sideshow trap.</p> <p> All of these sideshow debates are about government.?</p> <p> Government and government power are the leading lady and the leading man.</p> <p> Today's conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget, the burgeoning deficits, the mammoth federal debt, the shortfall in our entitlement programs?even as we invent new entitlement programs.?</p> <p> We seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping.?</p> <p> This is a rigged game, and it is the wrong game for us to play.</p> <p> Today it's the fiscal cliff, tomorrow it's the fiscal apocalypse, and then it will be the fiscal Armageddon.?</p> <p> But I have news for you; our government already went off the fiscal cliff.?</p> <p> It happened years ago, and has happened every year for many years.?</p> <p> Today's conservatism is in love with zeroes.?</p> <p> We think if we can just unite behind a proposal to cut the deficit and debt?if we can just put together a spreadsheet and a power point and a TV ad?.all will be well.?</p> <p> This obsession with zeroes has everyone in our party focused on what? Government.</p> <p> By obsessing with zeroes on the budget spreadsheet, we send a not-so-subtle signal that the focus of our country is on the phony economy of Washington ? instead of the real economy out here in Charlotte, and Shreveport, and Cheyenne.?</p> <p> We as Republicans have to accept that government number crunching ? even conservative number crunching ? is not the answer to our nation's problems.</p> <p> We also must face one more cold hard fact ? <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_5">Washington</span> is so dysfunctional that any budget proposal based on fiscal sanity will be deemed 'not-serious' by the media, it will fail in the Senate, and it won't even make it to the President's desk where it would be vetoed anyway.</p> <p> In fact, any serious proposal to restrain government growth is immediately deemed 'not-serious' in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_6">Washington</span>. The Balanced Budget is deemed 'not-serious' in Washington.?</p> <p> Term Limits are deemed 'not-serious' in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_7">Washington</span>. Capping federal growth by tying it to private sector economic growth is deemed 'not-serious' in Washington.?</p> <p> The truth is nothing serious is deemed serious in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_8">Washington</span>.</p> <p> When then-Senator Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling, he said he was doing so because the national debt was at an outrageous 8 trillion dollars?and he clarified for effect, saying that is "trillion with a T."?</p> <p> Now President Obama has our national debt over 16 trillion dollars and climbing?larger than our entire economy. And he's not worried about it in the least.?</p> <p> He calls it progress. You remember his campaign slogan, he says it is "Forward."</p> <p> I have news for the President ? If <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_9">Washington</span>'s debt is going forward, America's economy is going backward.?</p> <p> Instead of worrying about managing government, it's time for us to address how we can lead America? to a place where she can once again become the land of opportunity, where she can once again become a place of growth and opportunity.?</p> <p> We should put all of our eggs in that basket.</p> <p> Yes, we certainly do need folks in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_10">Washington</span> who will devote themselves to the task of stopping this President from taking America so far off the ledge that we cannot get back.?</p> <p> We must do all we can to stop what is rapidly becoming the bankrupting of our federal government.</p> <p> But we as conservatives must dedicate our energies and our efforts to growing America, to growing the American economy, to showing the younger generations how America can win the future.?</p> <p> That path does not lie in government. If more government were the answer, our economy would be booming right now. That path has been tried.?</p> <p> You can't hire enough government workers or give enough taxpayer money to your friends who own green energy companies to create prosperity. The facts are in, it's a disaster.</p> <p> Balancing our government's books is not what matters most. Government is not the end all and be all.?</p> <p> The health of America is not about government at all. Balancing government's books is a nice goal, but that is not our primary objective.?</p> <p> Our objective is to grow the private sector. We need to focus our efforts on ideas to grow the American economy, not the government economy.</p> <p> If you take nothing else away from what I say today, please understand this ? We must not become the party of austerity. We must become the party of growth. Of course we know that government is out of control. The public knows that too. And yet we just lost an election.</p> <p> Again, we cannot afford to fight on our opponents' terms. The Republican Party must become the party of growth, the party of a prosperous future that is based in our economic growth and opportunity that is based in every community in this great country and that is not based in Washington, DC.</p> <p> We have fallen into a trap of believing that the world revolves around <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_11">Washington</span>, that the economy is based there. If we keep believing that, government will grow so big that it will take us all down with it.</p> <p> If our end goal is to simply better manage the disaster that is the federal government, count me out, I'm not signing up for that. It's not a goal worth attaining.?</p> <p> Which of you wants to sign up to help manage the slow decline of the United States of America? I sure don't. That's what we have Democrats for.</p> <p> The Democrats promise to be the party of "more from government," but they are actually the party of less. They are the party of economic contraction, austerity and less from the economy. The Republican Party is the party of "more," the party that creates "more from the economy."?</p> <p> As Margaret Thatcher famously observed ? first you must win the argument, then you can win the elections. And by the way, it's time for all of us to remember that we are not in this just to win elections.?</p> <p> We are in this to make America the greatest she can be, to make America the prosperous land of opportunity that she can be. To do this, we will certainly have to win some elections, but first we must win the argument.?</p> <p> If this election taught us anything ? it is that we will not win elections by simply pointing out the failures of the other side. We must boldly paint the picture of what America can be, of just how incredibly bright America's future can be.</p> <p><strong>II. How we win the argument</strong></p> <p> So?you ask...what does that future look like? How do we win this argument?</p> <p> For starters, we have to recalibrate the compass of conservatism.?</p> <p> We do not need to change what we believe as conservatives ? our principles are timeless.</p> <p> But we do need to re-orient our focus to the place where conservatism thrives ? in the real world beyond the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_12">Washington</span> Beltway.</p> <p> We must lay out the contrast between liberalism's top-down government solutions and our Bottom-Up real world philosophy.</p> <p> We believe in creating abundance, not redistributing scarcity.</p> <p> We should let the other side try to sell <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_13">Washington</span>'s ability to help the economy, while we promote the entrepreneur, the risk-taker, the self-employed woman who is one sale away from hiring her first employee.</p> <p> Let the Democrats sell the stale power of more federal programs, while we promote the rejuvenating power of new businesses.</p> <p> We don't believe old, top-down, industrial-age government becomes a good idea just because it agrees with us or because we are running it.</p> <p> We must focus on the empowerment of citizens making relevant and different decisions in their communities while Democrats sell factory-style government that cranks out one dumbed-down answer for the whole country.</p> <p> This means re-thinking nearly every social program in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_14">Washington</span>. Very few of them work in my view, and frankly, the one-size fits all crowd has had its chance.?</p> <p> If any rational human being were to create our government anew, today, from a blank piece of paper ? we would have about one fourth of the buildings we have in Washington and about half of the government workers.?</p> <p> We would replace most of its bureaucracy with a handful of good websites.?</p> <p> If we created American government today, we would not dream of taking money out of people's pockets, sending it all the way to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_15">Washington</span>, handing it over to politicians and bureaucrats to staple thousands of pages of artificial and political instructions to it, then wear that money out by grinding it through the engine of bureaucratic friction?and then sending what's left of it back to the states, where it all started, in order to grow the American economy.</p> <p> What we are doing now to govern ourselves is not just wrong. It is out of date and it is a failure.?</p> <p> We believe in planting the seeds of growth in the fertile soil of your economy, where you live, where you work, invest, and dream, not in the barren concrete of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_16">Washington</span>.</p> <p> If it's worth doing, block grant it to the states.?</p> <p> If it's something you don't trust the states to do, then maybe <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_17">Washington</span> shouldn't do it at all.</p> <p> We believe solving problems closer to home should always be our first, not last, option.</p> <p> We believe hiring others, far away, is the last and least effective way to meet our social responsibilities to others.</p> <p> States should not face a moral dilemma when they try to right size their own budgets and federal strings stand in the way.</p> <p> While the Democrats work on taking more from working Americans, we should stand for radically simplifying our tax code ? not for the benefit of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_18">Washington</span>, but to get the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_19">Washington</span> out of the way.?</p> <p> Get rid of the loopholes paid for by lobbyists and blow up the incentives that <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_20">Washington</span> uses to coerce behavior from the top-down.</p> <p> It shouldn't be complicated for a taxpayer to fill out his taxes?or to live his life without fear of the tax consequences of his or her choices.</p> <p> When it comes to education -- let the Democrats extoll the virtues of our hopelessly antiquated one-size-fits-all factory schools where the child follows the dollars.?</p> <p> Meanwhile, let us feature the success of child-centered education solutions that meet the needs of the digital age, education where the dollars follow the child.</p> <p> These are but a few examples of the way we must fight the battle of ideas, or as Thatcher said, how we must win the argument.</p> <p> One thing we have to get straight -- <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_21">Washington</span> has spent a generation trying to bribe our citizens and extort our states.?</p> <p> As Republicans, it's time to quit arguing around the edges of that corrupt system.</p> <p><strong>III. How we win the election</strong></p> <p> Now let me shift gears and speak to changes I believe we must make if we are to win elections.</p> <p> As I indicated before, I am not one of those who believe we should moderate, equivocate, or otherwise abandon our principles.?</p> <p> This badly disappoints many of the liberals in the national media of course. For them, real change means:</p> <ul><li> Supporting abortion on demand without apology</li> <li> Abandoning traditional marriage between one man and one woman</li> <li> Embracing government growth as the key to American success</li> <li> Agreeing to higher taxes every year to pay for government expansion</li> <li> And endorsing the enlightened policies of European socialism</li> </ul><p> That is what real change looks like to the New York Times editorial board.</p> <p> But that's crazy talk. America already has one liberal party, she doesn't need another one.</p> <p> Government spending still does not grow our economy.</p> <p> American weakness on the world stage still does not lead to peace.</p> <p> Higher taxes still do not create prosperity for all. And more government still does not grow jobs.</p> <p> If you believe in higher taxes, more debt, more government spending, weakness abroad, and taking guns from law-abiding citizens ? you already have a party that is well represented in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_22">Washington</span>.</p> <p> No, the Republican Party does not need to change our principles?but we might need to change just about everything else we do.</p> <p> Here are seven things that I believe we must change if we are to amass a following worthy of our principles, and if we are to be in position to win elections and lead America:</p> <p> 1. We must stop looking backward. We have to boldly show what the future can look like with the free market policies that we believe in. Many of our Governors are doing just that. Conservative ideals are aspirational, and our country is aspirational. Nostalgia about the good old days is heart-warming, but the battle of ideas must be waged in the future.</p> <p> 2. We must compete for every single vote. The 47 percent and the 53 percent. And any other combination of numbers that adds up to 100 percent. President Barack Obama and the Democrats can continue trying to divide America into groups of warring communities with competing interests, but we will have none of it. We are going after every vote as we work to unite all Americans.</p> <p> 3. We must reject identity politics. The old notion that ours should be a colorblind society is the right one, and we should pursue that with vigor. Identity politics is corrosive to the great American melting pot and we reject it. We must reject the notion that demography is destiny, the pathetic and simplistic notion that skin pigmentation dictates voter behavior. We must treat all people as individuals rather than as members of special interest groups. The first step in getting the voters to like you is to demonstrate that you like them.</p> <p> 4. We must stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican party that talks like adults. It's time for us to articulate our plans and visions for America in real terms. We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. We've had enough of that.</p> <p> 5. We must stop insulting the intelligence of voters. We need to trust the smarts of the American people. We have to stop dumbing down our ideas and stop reducing everything to mindless slogans and tag lines for 30-second ads. We must be willing to provide details in describing our views.</p> <p> 6. We must quit "big." We are not the party of big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts, big corporate loopholes, or big anything. We must not be the party that simply protects the well off so they can keep their toys. We have to be the party that shows all Americans how they can thrive. We are the party whose ideas will help the middle class, and help more folks join the middle class. We are a populist party and need to make that clear.</p> <p> 7. We must focus on real people outside of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_23">Washington</span>, not the lobbyists and government inside <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1359082930_24">Washington</span>. We must stop competing with Democrats for the job of "Government Manager," and lay out ideas that can unleash the dynamic abilities of the American people. We need an equal opportunity society, one in which government does not see its job as picking winners and losers. Where do you go if you want special favors? Government. Where do you go if you want a tax break? Government. Where do you go if you want a handout? Government. This must stop. Our government must pursue a level playing field. At present, government is the un-leveler of the playing field.</p> <p> This is a pathway forward for the Republican Party, one that honors our principles, the American people, and also, will help us win elections.</p> <p><strong>IV. Conclusion</strong></p> <p> Let me conclude by making this observation ? America is facing her greatest choice, and the hour is late.</p> <p> We can either go down the Government path or the American path.?</p> <p> The left is trying to turn the government path into the American path.?</p> <p> Shame on us if we let them do that.?</p> <p> We believe freedom incentivizes ordinary people to do extraordinary things and that makes America an exceptional nation.</p> <p> In the last few years it has become fashionable to talk about American Exceptionalism - the idea that this country is better and different than any other on the planet.</p> <p> As Republicans we have criticized President Obama for not believing in American exceptionalism.</p> <p> It is imperative that we not only promote America's exceptionalism, we must also define it.</p> <p> During the inauguration I heard a lot of commentators remark on the uniquely peaceful transfer of power we have in this country.</p> <p> But let us not get confused....</p> <p> Even as we must never take for granted the peaceful transition of power, America is not great because of the design of our government.</p> <p> Our nation is not exceptional because of its commitment to free elections.</p> <p> The genius of America is that our strength and power and growth come from the individual actions of our people.</p> <p> Government does not order greatness. Government cannot command outcomes that exceed those in other nations.</p> <p> But free individuals...taking risks...building businesses...inventing things from thin air...and passing immutable values from one generation to the next...that is the root of America's greatness.</p> <p> And that is our mission as we build a new Republican Party.?</p> <p> We must shift the eye line and the ambition of our conservative movement away from managing government and toward the mission of growth.?</p> <p> It falls to us to show the younger generations the wisdom and the great benefit of the American path.?</p> <p> It falls to us to unleash a new dawning of the American Dream ? the dream my parents came to America for ? a dream of growth, prosperity, and equal opportunity.?</p> <p> It is our responsibility to seize this opportunity and lead our country into a new era of possibility, progress, and prosperity.?</p> <p> It falls to us to take the ever-fresh principles of freedom and apply them to the future.</p> <p> Make no mistake; I'm not calling for a period of introspection and navel gazing. Far from it.?</p> <p> I'm calling for us to get busy winning the argument...and then, after that?winning the next election.</p> <p> Thank you, and may God richly bless you.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/bobby-jindal-needs-stop-giving-rebuttals-030057699.html">http://news.yahoo.com/bobby-jindal-needs-stop-giving-rebuttals-030057699.html</a></p><p><a href="http://lig.blogesite.com/story.php?id=146900">oklahoma city bombing</a> <a href="http://backlink.egynt.net/story.php?id=1680394">robbie robertson</a> <a href="http://acmcustomdesign.com/story.php?id=131962">the curious case of benjamin button</a> <a href="http://bookmarkings.herobo.com/story.php?id=28007">secret service prostitute</a> <a href="http://bminfo.hostoi.com/story.php?id=162195">rich ross</a> <a href="http://www.bogaticom.com/stories/423376/Nice_Motivational_Speaking_Tips_You_Arent_Applying.html">april 20</a> <a href="http://gratis-community.at/story.php?id=142859">jennifer love hewitt</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205038197773573709' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205038197773573709' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>withambeulah11</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://counterrevolutionary-indoctrination.blogspot.com/2013/01/bobby-jindal-needs-to-stop-giving.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://counterrevolutionary-indoctrination.blogspot.com/2013/01/bobby-jindal-needs-to-stop-giving.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-01-26T18:19:00-08:00'>6:19 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://counterrevolutionary-indoctrination.blogspot.com/2013/01/bobby-jindal-needs-to-stop-giving.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1108412363'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4301811748034585038&postID=4310549728576644592&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4301811748034585038&postID=4310549728576644592&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4301811748034585038&postID=4310549728576644592&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
