Sam and Becky are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Sam says to Becky, "Becky, I was wondering - have you ever cheated on me?" Becky replies, "Oh Sam, why would you ask such a question now? You don't want to ask that question..." "Yes, Becky, I really want to know. Please..." "Well, all right. Yes, 3 times..." "Three? Well, when were they?" he asked. "Well, Sam, remember when you were 35 years old and you really wanted to start the business on your own and no bank would give you a loan? Remember, then one day the bank president himself came over the house and signed the loan papers, no questions asked?" "Oh, Becky, you did that for me! I respect you even more than ever, to do such a thing for me. So, when was number 2?" "Well, Sam, remember when you had that last heart attack and you were needing that very tricky operation, and no surgeon would touch you? Then remember how the doctor came all the way up here, to do the surgery himself, and then you were in good shape again?" "I can't believe it! Becky, you should do such a thingfor me, to save my l ife. I couldn't have a more wonderful wife. To do such a thing, you must really love me darling. I couldn't be more moved. So, all right then, when was number 3?" "Well, Sam, remember a few years ago, when you really wanted to be president of the golf club and you were 17 votes short..?" wow Power Levelingwow Power Leveling

The Trouble with TV Time for Tots cmc¡¡audio rca wbt audio rcacmc rca plugswbt rca plugscmc rca jacks Television, even in the background, can harm a child's verbal skills development, new research says.My wife is about two months away from giving birth to our first child¡ªa girl¡ªand she¡¯s already affecting our habits. In particular, our television habits: We used to throw ourselves into a corner of the couch to watch ¡°30 Rock¡± or ¡°The Wire¡± in the evenings, but my wife finds it hard these days to get comfortable in her usual couch-potato positions. She moves across the room to a chair, but inevitably gets tired of that and goes upstairs to get in bed and (if you can believe this) read a book. And she¡¯s fine with that. Apparently there are other things to do besides watch the tube. wbt rca jacks cmc tube socketswbt tube sockets wbt tube sockets cmc binding postswbt binding postscmc banana & spadeswbt banana & spadescmc¡¡loudspeakerwbt loudspeaker cmc¡¡audio rca wbt audio rca¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨•rÓ‹IWC•rÓ‹¥°¥Ã¥Á•rÓ‹cmc rca plugswbt rca plugs But if our daughter-to-be is going to mess with our TV time, we¡¯re going to mess with hers, too. Once this kid is born, we¡¯re going to cut the broadcasting day to a bare minimum in her early, formative years. The latest study in this area says that television¡ªeven if it's just playing in the background¡ªgreatly cuts down on parent-child verbal interaction, and that can mean the child¡¯s language development. Not just the baby¡¯s viewing, but the parents¡¯, too. cmc rca jackswbt rca jacks cmc tube sockets ¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹•rÓ‹ ¥ª¥á¥¬•rÓ‹¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤•rÓ‹¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥ì¥×¥ê¥«¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨¥³¥Ô©`¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥³¥Ô©`¥°¥Ã¥Á¥³¥Ô©`¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤¥³¥Ô©` ¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹•rÓ‹¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨•rÓ‹IWC•rÓ‹¥°¥Ã¥Á•rÓ‹¥ª¥á¥¬•rÓ‹¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤•rÓ‹¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥ì¥×¥ê¥«¡¡Some of these reductions are likely due to children being left alone in front of the television screen, but others likely reflect situations in which adults, though present, are distracted by the screen and not interacting with their infant in a discernable manner," says head researcher Dr. Dimitri A. Christakis, of Seattle Children's Hospital and the University of Washington. The study was just published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. These findings are the latest in a string of news that indicates you shouldn't plop your baby down in front of the TV¡ªparticularly in the first two years, while his or her brain is still developing. Too-young television watching has been linked to ADHD and, more recently, autism. www.onlycmc.com www.yuppy111.comwww.baidu.com¡¡¡¡And then there's television content that is designed specifically to make your infant smarter. The controversy over this issue peaked two years ago, when then-President Bush hosted Julie Aigner-Clark, creator of the "Baby Einstein" videos, at a State of the Union address. Bush heralded Aigner-Clark as a hero, but her line of videos¡ªnow owned by Disney¡ªand similar videos have been revealed to be something significantly less beneficial to babes than it claims to be. (Read the Baby Einstein Co.'s rebuttal here.) It seems like common sense, really. But many parents have told me that the TV-as-babysitter scenario, no matter how wrong it is, nevertheless can be an alluring siren¡¯s song that promises an hour or two of quiet time. Still, once our baby arrives, our household¡¯s TV-watching will dwindle to the bare minimum. One of us may sneak off to catch an episode of ¡°The Office¡± every once in a while, but our kid will have to wait a while before she can thrill to the sublime bone-headedness of Michael Scott. ¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨¥³¥Ô©`¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥³¥Ô©`¥°¥Ã¥Á¥³¥Ô©`¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤¥³¥Ô©`The scale of the war damage to the main city in the Swat valley has become clear, as fears are expressed about the humanitarian situation in the region. Taliban rebels were driven out of Mingora on Saturday by Pakistan government troops. The defence secretary says operations in the whole Swat valley region should end in the next few days, though military chiefs are more cautious. A BBC correspondent who went to Mingora has reported widespread damage. ¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹•rÓ‹¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨•rÓ‹IWC•rÓ‹¥°¥Ã¥Á•rÓ‹¥ª¥á¥¬•rÓ‹¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤•rÓ‹¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥ì¥×¥ê¥«¥«¥ë¥Æ¥£¥¨¥³¥Ô©`¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹¥³¥Ô©`¥°¥Ã¥Á¥³¥Ô©`¥Ñ¥Í¥é¥¤¥³¥Ô©`Rifatullah Orakzai, reporting for the BBC's Urdu Service, said that all the buildings and shops in the town square had been completely destroyed. However, local people have now been able to seek supplies in the town's market after the lifting of a curfew. See a map of the region Pakistan's army said essential services were being restored to the city. The International Red Cross said it was "gravely concerned" by the humanitarian situation in Swat. cmc¡¡audio rca wbt audio rcacmc rca plugswbt rca plugscmc rca jackswbt rca jacks cmc tube socketswbt tube sockets Water and electricity were not available, there was no fuel for generators, most medical facilities had stopped operating and food was scarce, it said. www.onlycmc.com www.yuppy111.com°Ù¶ÈÌṩµÄV¸æ ¥í¥ì¥Ã¥¯¥¹•rÓ‹ cmc¡¡audio rca cmc rca jackswww.baidu.com
