Ames and I would eradicate the entire world of popcorn ceilings if we could. For now though, we’re just planning on tackling the entire house. We only moved in about two weeks ago, but we’ve already cleared the curds from the office, guest bedroom and our master bedroom. Through our experiences so far, and the little bit of preparatory research we did before getting started, I think we’ve got a pretty good method established for removing the corn. Be sure and make sure you don’t have any Asbestos in your ceiling before you get started with this one.

Each month of this year develop one new habit. Make it simple and doable. At the end of each month decide on a new “habit” for the next month and continue doing the existing habit. At the end of the year 12 habits will be developed. All of these habits will be written down and be simple enough that I can verify if they have been done. Experts say that most actions take at least 21 days to become “habits” so a month should be ample time for it to become routine. The key to developing new habits is to make them trackable actions. For example, instead of resolving to “drink more water,” John says he started drinking two quarts of water a day - a specific and measurable goal. 12 Habits in 2006 [Success Begins Today] ( comment on this post ) Zoho Writer online word processor READ MORE: File sharing , Top , WYSIWYG , Web as Desktop , Word Processor Web service Zoho Writer is an online word processor that edits, stores and shares your documents from anywhere.

In the past couple of weeks thier have been several scandals if you will, each one bringing to light the almost distorted scence of morality preasent on the YULA boys campus (The 9th grade cheating incident comes to mind). However today I would like to discuss an incident i witnessed first hand. During Mincha time I witnessed torture in the worst degree. I witnessed the tears of the tortured, and i saw the smile on the face of the tourcheres. Both were equally as haunting. However I feel I may be getting ahead of myself, so allow me to start from the begining. After second mod i headed over to the blue picnic tabels near the lunch room to quickly complete that days math home work. As you very well know after 2nd mod was mincha...no i was not intentionally ditching mincha for I planned to go in to the beis midrash as soon as i completed my math homework, however what i saw i felt i needed to watch, if not out of disgust, then in order to relate the occurences over to the YULA student body. As I was sitting doing my homework, I overheard two sophmores decide that now would be a good time to go "trash a freshman" (make note that these kids are probably two of the most obese kids in the school...hence insecurities) They started with one freshman...it was just them, i didn't find it funny, but what ever he didn't really fit in the trash can and he didnt seem to get hurt. However, as word spread around the yard that people were trashing freshman it was as if every insecure kid in the school came out of hiding for the event. Now all trashing of freshman i feel is bordering on some sort of evil...but allow me to tell you what happened to the last freshy they trashed... I don't know the freshman well, acttualy I really don't know him at all. He contributed to the litterary journal, and he seems to be a nice kid. I have heard that the kids parents are divorced, but this is besides the fact...the point is he is a kid who never did anything to anyone... This freshman is heading towards the sephardi beit midrash to daven, when the mob (litterlly 20 people) pick him up and begin to drag him. Now he resists, everyone just laughs. LAUGHTER!!!!!! Has anyone ever heard of a little town called Littelon Colorado?!?!?!?! I mean come on!!!!!! He continues to scream for them to let him go, but they refuse, then they place him in the trash can, head first. Kids then begin punching him, and kicking the trash can. I hear, "He probably lives there anyway." Punching, taungting, kicking etc. Once the kid finnaly manages to get himself out of the trash can I see tears in his eyes. People are still pushing him, and laughing, some people even try to stick him back into the trash can. Everyone around me, even those who didn't participate admit that it was pretty funny. AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WITH DECENT MORALS???????? AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO SEES THIS HAZING AS CRUEL AND EVIL????? | -- 1.04.2006 all my love's in vain this is the blog. so a-motivated for this piece of shit anymore.

Long before the advent of Christianity, plants and trees that remained green all year had a special meaning for people in the winter. Just as people today decorate their homes during the festive season with pine, spruce, and fir trees, ancient peoples hung evergreen boughs over their doors and windows. In many countries it was believed that evergreens would keep away witches, ghosts, evil spirits, and illness. In the Northern hemisphere, the shortest day and longest night of the year falls on December 21 or December 22 and is called the winter solstice. Many ancient people believed that the sun was a god and that winter came every year because the sun god had become sick and weak. They celebrated the solstice because it meant that at last the sun god would begin to get well. Evergreen boughs reminded them of all the green plants that would grow again when the sun god was strong and summer would return. The ancient Egyptians worshipped a god called Ra, who had the head of a hawk and wore the sun as a blazing disk in his crown. At the solstice, when Ra began to recover from the illness, the Egyptians filled their homes with green palm rushes which symbolized for them the triumph of life over death. Early Romans marked the solstice with a feast called the Saturnalia in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture. The Romans knew that the solstice meant that soon farms and orchards would be green and fruitful. To mark the occasion, they decorated their homes and temples with evergreen boughs. In Northern Europe the mysterious Druids, the priests of the ancient Celts, also decorated their temples with evergreen boughs as a symbol of everlasting life. The fierce Vikings in Scandinavia thought that evergreens were the special plant of the sun god, Balder. Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed by the brilliance of stars twinkling amidst evergreens. To recapture the scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with lighted candles. Most 19th-century Americans found Christmas trees an oddity. The first record of one being on display was in the 1830s by the German settlers of Pennsylvania, although trees had been a tradition in many German homes much earlier. The Pennsylvania German settlements had community trees as early as 1747. But, as late as the 1840s Christmas trees were seen as pagan symbols and not accepted by most Americans. It is not surprising that, like many other festive Christmas customs, the tree was adopted so late in America. To the New England Puritans, Christmas was sacred. The pilgrims's second governor, William Bradford, wrote that he tried hard to stamp out "pagan mockery" of the observance, penalizing any frivolity. The influential Oliver Cromwell preached against "the heathen traditions" of Christmas carols, decorated trees, and any joyful expression that desecrated "that sacred event." In 1659, the General Court of Massachusetts enacted a law making any observance of December 25 (other than a church service) a penal offense; people were fined for hanging decorations. That stern solemnity continued until the 19th century, when the influx of German and Irish immigrants undermined the Puritan legacy. In 1846, the popular royals, Queen Victoria and her German Prince, Albert, were sketched in the Illustrated London News standing with their children around a Christmas tree. Unlike the previous royal family, Victoria was very popular with her subjects, and what was done at court immediately became fashionable—not only in Britain, but with fashion-conscious East Coast American Society. The Christmas tree had arrived. By the 1890s Christmas ornaments were arriving from Germany and Christmas tree popularity was on the rise around the U.S. It was noted that Europeans used small trees about four feet in height, while Americans liked their Christmas trees to reach from floor to ceiling. The early 20th century saw Americans decorating their trees mainly with homemade ornaments, while the German-American sect continued to use apples, nuts, and marzipan cookies. Popcorn joined in after being dyed bright colors and interlaced with berries and nuts. Electricity brought about Christmas lights, making it possible for Christmas trees to glow for days on end.
