ASIANS CAN ACTUALLY READ MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they can hear, and see what your visually thinkingthis is the complete truth.The reason a lot of Asians have completely expressionless faces, segregate from everybody else-only associate with Asians and don’t associate with non Asians that much, and are very unfriendly in general is to avoid accidentally revealing that they can read minds. If all over a billion Asians where to show facial expressions all the time just as much as non Asians, integrate and associate with non Asians much more, and be much more friendly and talkative, then a lot of them might accidentally reveal that they can read minds by accidentally showing a facial expression or dirty look when someone thinks, or visually pictures something in their mind they don’t like, find astonishing, or funny etc because those people might see that and and really wonder what that was that just happened there and see the connection, and they might accidentally say something similar to what the person was just thinking and going to say. If they all associated with non Asians a lot more then there would be a lot more people around for them to accidentally show facial expressions when those people think things they don’t like etc, so they segregate and only associate with Asians so there won’t be anyone around for them to see that and have any accidents happen in the first place..you have to spread the message!!!!!!The world has to know about this!!!!!!

Mission Immediate – Crafting a Strategy for Liverpool FC

One of the best things about football as a sport is its incomparable ability to create drama. I would love to challenge Hollywood’s finest to try and script the fiction to beat the truth we’ve seen this season. Manchester City shifting from title losers to title winners in a matter of 60 seconds at their home ground in the final moments of their season. Chelsea’s “anti-football” tactics surpassing superior attacking sides like Benfica, Barcelona and Bayern Munich to culminate in their winning the Champions League. And Liverpool, 3 times winners over Chelsea this season in 2 competitions, parting ways with the man who led them to those wins.

Even more ironic. Had Liverpool finished 4th as the target was set, it wouldn’t have been enough anyway. Chelsea’s victory ensures it. so 3rd and above was the real target to qualify for the Champions League – meaning Liverpool had to be a team that, for 2 thirds of the season at least, was challenging for the title.

I’m not the first to lament the departure of our legendary manager – I won’t be the last. And while it can be a source of total drivel, Twitter was (is) an interesting place this past week with so many contrasting emotions in response to Kenny’s sacking. The brave few suggested it was bound to happen. Many others were outraged, some even going as far to write open letters directed to Ian Ayre, John Henry and other senior figures (what little are left) in the Anfield hierarchy.

And make no mistake, this is a defining moment for FSG. from the moment they took over, they seemed to do a lot of things Liverpool fans were happy with. they got rid of Hodgson. they replaced him with Kenny. they allowed extensive transfer spending. they engaged with fans. so far so good.

But now, the buffer is gone. FSG now face the results of some, as yet, potentially wise or rash decisions. And there is no romance of 2 cup finals, or a Scottish-born trophy magnet to mask them. they are exposed to that dangerous animal in all its varieties – the Liverpool fan (no offence meant by that statement, of course!).

So in other words – time to find out who our new owners really are.

For the record – I am sad to see Kenny go, but it’s clear that his romantic motivational skills during his caretaker spell just didn’t extend to his tactical application in the league this season. I don’t dispute the value of a trophy and 2 cup finals, and I’ll retain my ‘old school’ thinking that Liverpool is about winning trophies, but there are severe shortcomings at this club, and Kenny sadly may just not fit the profile of the man we need to change that. in any case, his contributions as a player, manager and humanitarian in the 80’s are stuff of legend, and Manchester United have him to thank for having such a stiff target against which to motivate themselves.

Nonetheless, the focus now shifts to FSG. which is very compelling.

So as we stand now – we’ve had some drama. No director of football, communications (I have heard the tweets about Chang, but I’m unsure of the truthfulness), no manager. No stadium plan as well.

Dark days? perhaps. but perhaps not.

There’s a theory I have here, and it naturally assumes that FSG are the right owners, and that they are going to work prudently to take the club forward. Obviously if they aren’t, that’s another issue, never mind another blog! but here’s the theory – Liverpool was in dire need to break some age old structures in order to build new ones from scratch.

Liverpool aren’t a club that are geared to succeed in modern football, because modern football is different now. Few want to hear it or believe it, but it’s the truth. my previous blog skirted the unthinkable idea that a FA Cup final defeat could be a blessing in disguise, and I think that is still true – because if Ian Ayre can suggest Kenny would have been sacked regardless of a cup win, imagine how much harder it would have been to accomplish had we earned another FA Cup in our cabinet.

We have to accept the dynamics of the game have changed. a Carling Cup victory and an FA Cup final are great, but clearly some of Liverpool’s illustrious opponents in those competitions (City, United, Arsenal, etc) had priorities elsewhere. The money is too important nowadays. in many ways, the departure of Torres is a perfect illustration of this. We can chirp all we want – his move was vindicated. within 18 months of leaving, he’s played in two consecutive Champions League semi-finals, won a final and won 2 more trophies than he did at Liverpool in all his time there. Money talks, and if you want to compete with the ‘plastic’ clubs, you have to at least meet them in the same playground.

It’s not impossible to do that either. If it was, then Manchester United, lacking their captain and best defender, and a far less talented squad, wouldn’t have equalled the rich half of their own City on points in the table, losing by mere goal difference.

It’s not just about Kenny’s or Comolli’s departure. The closing events of the season highlight potential deficiencies in FSG’s initial strategy with their ‘moneyball’ thinking, not to mention some of Liverpool’s old school structures or lacking leadership (the mishandling of the racism issue comes to mind).

It ironically gives me comfort, because if FSG is thinking seriously about top level structure and making changes, then it implies that they care about addressing the top level structure for first time in ages. This should be important to Liverpool, because the clubs are no longer just about the football anymore – you cannot divorce the business from the stuff on the pitch.

All the recent successful clubs in Europe have some common threads in terms of “larger-than-life” managers who want as much control of everything as possible (Ferguson, Mourinho come to mind) or powerful demands driven at presidential level downwards (say what you want about Abramovich or Mansour, but there was a point to their spending – lavish or otherwise). It also involves (of course)… money!

There may not be an open top bus parade for 3rd or 4th place, but especially in a very competitive league like England, not being in the Champions League is a big deal. And for Liverpool, whose revenues (as an example) have only grown 99% between 2002/3 – 2010/11 (the European elite have grown in excess of 150% upwards), it’s an even bigger deal.

Suppose Ian Ayre’s recent interview is to be believed, and the top level structure changes and Comolli’s old responsibilities do split – it poses interesting opportunities for scouting, transfer negotiations, and the overall footballing philosophy of the club, something sorely lacking consistent direction over the past 20 years.

I, for one, want to give FSG the benefit of the doubt, simply because the philosophy of Liverpool is in dire need of redefinition. Many of us can quote Shankly and what he believed Liverpool should be about – but those philosophies haven’t been respected in the manner that Liverpool have wanted since the end of Kenny’s first spell as manager. so if FSG are thinking of changing things to drive results, and have illustrated a ruthlessness to do so because they are impatient for those results, then I’m certainly interested in what their plans are, because that makes them far more interested owners than we’ve had in a while.

That, of course, then leads to the speculation about the manager, and specifically who the next Liverpool boss will be.

Again, if Ian Ayre is to be believed, the desired idea for the future manager is to focus purely on the team, results, and only the final say on signings. This already rules out several managers who like to have wider control (think people like Wenger, Mourinho, etc). Liverpool’s steady deterioration as a club suggests that only one of these types of managers would be a realistically obtainable one anyway (Rafael Benitez). so unless Rafa is happy to fit into FSG’s structures, he won’t be back. And it’s worth remembering that even the infamous tenure of Hicks and Gillett supplied Rafa with a fair stock of transfer funds that allowed him to buy the good (e.g Agger, Lucas, Reina, Torres, Mascherano, Alonso) and the expensive and unsuccessful (Babel, Morientes, Pennant, Sissoko, Dossena, Aquilani), to name a few. one doubts FSG giving Rafa the same licence to spend.

What do we want from a new manager? more than the ability to attract the best players – because Liverpool’s current resources and lack of Champions League football limit that anyway – is the ability to get the best out of the players available, even if less talented. We need a strong motivator, a strong personality, but tactically astute, intelligent and above all – driven by results. Someone who knows the competitive nature of the Premier League and the culture of its football. And someone who knows the players on the continent well, or can at least engage with them – because it’s clear from our recent spending that any level of British based talent is likely to be overpriced. so some of our transfer targets should be non-British in most cases.

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the likes of Guardiola, Capello or Klopp. I genuinely think Pep wants a break, Capello doesn’t appear to be the right culture fit, and Klopp has unfinished business at Dortmund.

That leaves the other rumoured candidates, like Andre Vilas Boas (AVB), Roberto Martinez, Didier Deschamps. If not permanently appointed by Chelsea, one wonders if even Roberto Di Matteo could be in the frame.

Given the task ahead, I would support the appointment of either AVB or Martinez, although I would lean to the latter, because of some concerns the peculiar manner in which AVB lost the Chelsea dressing room earlier this season.

Martinez may not have had the challenge of a big club yet, but what he brings potentially is tactical application and the ability to turn lower quality players into over-achievers. Not to mention the ability to adapt tactically as opposed to pushing the same plan a over and over again (see http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/05/16/wigan-stay-up-after-a-switch-to-3-4-3 ). Yes, he hasn’t had the chance at a big club – but as usual, you have to start somewhere, and maybe this is our unearthing “Alex Ferguson / Arsene Wenger / Jose Mourinho” moment. at least, that’s what I hope.

Whoever is appointed – whether the manager, scouting, or heading up the whole footballing side of things, one thing is clear. Changes are ahead. And given the severity of Liverpool’s expectations and the challenging place from which they commence this task, I would rather offer FSG a touch of sympathy. Sacking Dalglish may not have been popular – but their bravery could yet prove the right decision, and if it does, then we may look back on the events this week as a key turning point in the future success of the club.

Car Care Maintenance Myth

Whether it is the first time for someone who owns a car or those who already own car most of their lives, we can’t deny the fact that our lives is surrounded by myths. there are many myths that we don’t even know that they are truth or just stories told by our grandparents. some car owners are using the guide of 7 Car Maintenance Myths and what You should Know because they don’t want to get the bad luck for not doing the suggested things. some of those myths are involving buying car parts and we know that buying car parts are a bit confusing and complicated especially if we don’t have a clue on what happen with our cars. That is why some car parts suppliers are asking their customers to have at least little knowledge about their car and what parts they should know.

Some people still think that doing online buying is impossible to do as it has potential for scamming practice. but online businesses have been helping many people in the world and for US continent itself, it has been new kind of way to expand business to reach another states without bother to open representative offices or branch offices. If you notice, there are many online auto parts providers which offer special discount for certain items and even give double discounts at some holiday events.

You need to prepare yourself with enough and balance knowledge about car care because if you don’t, you will be used by naughty auto part sellers and you end up with unreasonable auto part bills. To avoid the over expensive car part shopping bills, you might want to read about Car-care myths and you know which one is the truth and which one is just old saying. We need to be a smarter buyer or the seller will outrun us.

Bon Jovi angrily deny they enjoy rugby league

Posted by admin | Posted in Happy Birthday Jon Bon Jovi | Posted on 02-03-2012-05-2008

Jon Bon Jovi, the stunningly handsome front man of rock group Bon Jovi, has gone on the record during an off the record discussion with The Bob Nightly News stating there is no truth to the vicious rumours that members of the band are fans of rugby league, and that they only agreed to a deal with the NRL due to an overwhelming desire to buy a new Lear jet.

Bon Jovi’s song ‘this is our house’  is being featured in the latest NRL commercial promoting the competition and is set to be rammed unceremoniously down the throat of anyone residing north of the Murray River. The clip features Jon Bon Jovi filling out a pair of leather pants the way few other 67-year-old men can, interjected with footage of NRL stars displaying their talents amid mind-blowing special effects. NRL officials are said to be extremely pleased with the three-year agreement they have reached with Bon Jovi, part of which has included the band agreeing to display the new promotional clip on their Facebook site. “this is a massive coup for the NRL” one rugby league star was quoted as saying “Bon Jovi have almost 10 million fans on their site, if we can just attract 5% of those  people to the game that’d be like….. 5 million people, right?”.

However members of the band have been quick to distance themselves from claims made by the NRL that they were massive fans of the sport with guitarist Richie Sambora telling TBNN ”Look, we’re more than happy to ponce about in front of a green screen and mime to a song we released two years ago but we’ve got to draw the line somewhere, I just can’t personally condone a sport where people are so unkind to each other” the world-renowned pacifist said.

Despite some reports of Bon Jovi members being unaware that rugby league was even a real sport, the NRL are hopeful that the commercial will help infiltrate the southern states and make some headway in the heated battle against the AFL. The new NRL commercial featuring Bon Jovi will air during the Melbourne Nine Network’s extensive rugby league coverage each Wednesday morning from 3.20am – 3.30am.

Health Care Expert Sally Pipes on Repealing, Replacing Obamacare

Posted by admin | Posted in health care | Posted on 21-02-2012-05-2008

As a Canadian and firsthand witness of Canada’s government-run health care system, Sally Pipes is warning that Obamacare will exacerbate the existing problems of rising costs and lack of access in the American health care system.

At a recent Heritage event, Pipes, president and CEO of the Pacific Research Institute, joined other health policy experts to speak on the need to repeal Obamacare. Pipes is the author of two books on the new health care law, The Truth about Obamacare and The Pipes plan.

At the panel and in her first book, The Truth about Obamacare, Pipes outlined the many problems with the left’s big-government approach to health care reform. She points out that this approach adversely affects patients by creating long waiting lines for care, rationing, drug shortages, and decreases in quality. She explains that Obamacare will limit patients’ options, especially the kind of insurance they can purchase and the providers they can access.

Pipes points out that Americans can absolutely benefit from real health care reform, but Obamacare just isn’t the right way to do it. She writes, “Obamacare is failing on both costs and coverage because it doesn’t address the fundamental reason that health costs are skyrocketing and that insurance remains out of reach for many. instead, the law tries to impose ‘just’ outcomes by government fiat…That’s a recipe for higher—not lower—health costs.”

In her second book, The Pipes plan, Pipes explains her proposal to reform health care by empowering patients and their doctors, not government bureaucrats. In particular, she suggests that reform should include:

-         Encouraging the use of health savings accounts (HSAs)

-         Changing the tax code to end the preference for employer-based insurance

-         Allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines

-         having states remove mandates that unnecessarily increase the cost of insurance

-         Passing tort reform

-         Fixing Medicare by raising the retirement age, utilizing income adjustment, and introducing a premium support or voucher system

-         Fixing Medicaid by giving block grants to the states to allow them to develop their own innovative ways to solve the program’s problems

-         Funding high-risk pools to help provide coverage to those with pre-existing conditions

Pipes concludes by calling for Obamacare’s full repeal: “Lawmakers must disassemble this terrible law and replace it with market-oriented reforms. It’s eminently possible. nothing more than America’s future and wealth depend on it.”

Special Needs: The path none of us expect to take

Posted by admin | Posted in special needs | Posted on 19-02-2012-05-2008

I believe every kid is special and awesome so sometimes I hesitate to refer to myself as a special needs parent or to my child as a special needs child. but the truth is, he does have special needs and there’s no better way I’m aware of to express that. When my son was a young toddler, he began demonstrating stereotypies, or repetitive movements. it was our first clue that something was different about him.

Over the next few years, we had dozens of doctors appointments, had various screenings with various organizations and saw tons of specialists. He had blood drawn, had an EEG, had long and arduous tests. Nothing really changed or “got better” for him until I read about Sensory Processing Disorder and brought my concerns to my pediatrician and she sent us to a pediatric occupational therapist.

Within an hour, we had an amazing amount of insight into his sensory issues and dysfunctions. within a month, we’d made incredible progress. since then, my son has been through an intensive speech language pathology social skills group, over a year of occupational therapy and several months of cognitive behavioral therapy. We now know that his wide spectrum of behaviors and symptoms are autism-related, and that he has a high functioning form of autism called Asperger’s Syndrome. (You’ve probably heard of it from TV, since pop culture appears to have latched onto it in a major way, with varying levels of accuracy.)

Every Thursday, I’ll share stories of special needs therapies and news, my insight into special needs parenting and probably a few tears or crazy tales of what it’s like in our household. whether we’re up up up or down down down on any given day, I wouldn’t change my child for the world. I know every special needs parent would agree with me on that one.
