Parental Advisory: This subject is unavoidably adult, but I have included nothing gratuitous or obscene. I aim to be frank but discreet. Those old enough to benefit from the rest of this blog are old enough to read this post.
Without it, none of us would be here. It causes people to do crazy things, like throw away huge amounts of money, make idiots of themselves, occasionally kill other people, and of course, get married and have children. So can writers completely ignore sex? Obviously, no. The subject is going to come up. Not always, but sometimes. And anyway, we're writers! We're daring! We're edgy! We push the limits of polite society!
But you wouldn't show up to a book signing in a bikini.
In fact, you would consider it beneath you to do so. Why? Because although sex sells, there are a variety of words for people who sell it, and none of them are complimentary. Think about that. At what point does it become nothing but literary pornography? It doesn't take writing talent to "turn on" readers. The crudest sentence (both technically and socially crude) can arouse anyone.
But sex isn't just physical; it's emotional, psychological, spiritual even.
And therein lies the key. The emotional side—that sacred bond shared between two people—that's what you want to capture. But despite the great power of fiction, it has its limitations: while it is extremely easy to arouse your readers, it is extremely difficult to forge an emotional connection with them. One is a mechanical, hormonal reaction. The other is spiritual. You can try to use the mechanical to access the spiritual, but in this case, (be honest) it will only serve as a distraction. The physical side takes off—and blinds all other feeling. The moment you arouse your reader is the moment you cease to be relevant to their soul.
So what are we supposed to do?
Focus on the emotion. If you have to mention something physical, start with a kiss, a caress here or there, but focus on what that kiss means to your characters. What are they saying to each other in that kiss? Is the kiss a lie, or the truest thing they have ever expressed? What does it mean? Why is it important?
There is no need to go into great detail about where hands and legs and whatever else is; you will only undercut your attempts to connect, just as a guy would undercut his attempts to get a girl's phone number if he kept making lewd suggestions to her, no matter how poetic his conversation was in between. It's the difference between lust and love; both are powerful, but only one means anything. So write about it, if you insist (assuming, of course, you are not writing a children's book). But treat it as the sacred, private thing it is.
After all, you want your readers to respect you in the morning.
You may have noticed I didn't even mention erotica; this is chiefly because I deny its legitimacy as literature. I doubt any erotica writers would be hanging around this blog, but in case one happens to come across this post, well, I'm not going to apologize. And if I did, the word would be dripping with sarcasm.
I welcome discussion in the comments – but please be sure it conforms to the parental advisory above.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (AP) - July 14, 2009 --Justin Timberlake's Mirimichi golf course is set to open July 25 in suburban Memphis after a $16 million renovation aimed at making it environmentally friendly.
The Commercial Appeal reported that Timberlake invested in reconstruction of the former Big Creek Golf Course after buying it late in 2007.
Mirimichi director of golf Greg King said Timberlake played the few holes that were ready in the early spring and King is eager for the celebrity owner to play the completed project.
Timberlake bought the golf course to save it from commercial development and the project was designed to be the first eco-friendly course to be certified by the Audubon Classic Sanctuary Program.

Welcome to the Words After War Weekly Round-Up: "Memorial Day" Edition. In this space we share links relevant to our mission of improving the military-civilian dialogue through high-quality literary programming.
This week, for Memorial Day, a number of moving essays were written that honored the sacrifice of our nation's fallen. Let us read these essays and pause for a moment to honor all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation. Let us also honor the sacrifice of those families who will never again be whole. And tomorrow, as we continue on with our day-to-day, let us not forget that we are a country still at war.
Here we go.
- Alex Horton has penned an excellent piece for The Daily Beast on the kinds of lives his fallen friends might have lived.
- The Los Angeles Review of Books marks Memorial Day with a special series on war literature.
- For the New Republic, Elliot Ackerman writes about the "Extraordinary Bravery on the Streets of Fallujah."
- The Washington Post ran a thought-provoking story about three wounded vets who found closure in Afghanistan.
- Buzzfeed's Steve Kandell wrote a poignant essay on his visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, nearly thirteen years after his sister's death.
- In The Daily Beast, vet writer Kate Hoit brings attention to the sacrifice of the nearly 200 women service members who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- For The Wall Street Journal, Phil Klay wrote an op-ed on why the nation needs to treat veterans with respect, not pity.
Have a good week.

Microlensing variability in the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237+0305 equivalent to the Einstein Cross II. Energy profile of the accretion disk
We present the continuation of our long-term spectroscopic monitoring of the gravitationally lensed quasar QSO 2237 + 0305. We investigate the chromatic variations observed in the UV/optical continuum of both quasar images A and B, and compare them with numerical simulations to infer the energy profile of the quasar accretion disk. Our procedure combines the microlensing ray-shooting technique with Bayesian analysis, and derives probability distributions for the source sizes as a function of wavelength. We find that the effective caustic crossing timescale is 4.0 +/- 1.0 months. Using a robust prior on the effective transverse velocity, we find that the source responsible for the UV/optical continuum has an energy profile well reproduced by a power-law R proportional to lambda(zeta) with zeta = 1.2 +/- 0.3, where R is the source size responsible for the emission at wavelength.. This is the first accurate, model-independent determination of the energy profile of a quasar accretion disk on such small scales.

Themes and Meanings
(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
Michael's final rejection of the black children is at once a symbolic and a literal act. By ordering them never to return, he is trying to reject their dreaded Africanness, which gradually becomes a persistent irritant to him. Michael, therefore, may be regarded as the embodiment of the white South African's conscious or unconscious wish to rid himself of the gnawing demands of black intransigence.
To this extent the story may be read as an allegory, but it is also a sensitive and incisive treatment of the moral ambivalence dividing an essentially decent youngster. Michael's instinctive empathy for the black children is established early in the story. The children's touching dependence on each other is particularly appealing to Michael, whose need for a sibling as well as parental affection and attention is implicit in his behavior. Even though the children are "identical in appearance to a hundred, a thousand, other piccanins," they become increasingly individualized to Michael as his contacts with them increase. The apartheid system will not permit him to relate to the children on a personal, affectionate level, but his own sensitive humanity can safely do so in dream and fantasy. Even so, Michael does make tentative attempts to reach out to the piccanins in the harsh world of reality. For example, his questions, which are ostensibly innocent and paternalistic, conceal Michael's desire to know them as persons. Therein lies the source of the tragedy. Michael's revelation—it reminds one of a Joycean epiphany—comes, significantly, in dream: His hatred of the piccanins is mutual, and it is the inevitable product of the mores of his particular society. There is more: Michael understands that the piccanins require love as much as bread. This understanding comes too late; he has lost the moment. The human urge to give love, which does not recognize racial differences in its pristine stages, has been frustrated in both black and white.

With CPD's The State of the Australian Public Service: An Alternative Report revealing that it would take an extra 50,000 public servants to reach the number of APS staff per capita that we had in 1990, CPSU National Secretary Nadine Flood offered vocal support.
"It's wake up call for those politicians who continue to call for an axe to be taken to the public sector. It shows that their attacks on the public sector are not supported by the community.
"In fact, most Australians support government playing an active role in society and the economy. It also confirms that most people have a higher level of confidence in public service agencies than in major companies.
"The report highlights the damaging role the mainstream media and our politicians play by talking down the public sector. Why do Australian politicians feel they need to trot out the same tired and groundless stereotypes about the men and women of the APS?" asked Ms Flood.

My children have always loved having characters on all of their clothing. My older daughter was fond of Barbie, and her logo and likeness was emblazoned not only her clothing, but on her coat. Her favorite one was light pink with white faux fur, and on the upper left hand area in hot pink was written "Barbie". With hat and gloves to match, she was so adorable! The only thing that she out-cuted herself in was her bright purple Barney raincoat with matching boots and umbrella.
My younger daughter was more fascinated with Disney princesses. Her favorite coat was made of denim and had pink sleeves. It was perfect for cool days and nights. It had several Disney princesses embroidered on the back, and she walked around in it like she was one of them! I do not know who was sadder when she outgrew it-her or me! The little girl we passed it down to also wore it to death, so I know that it was once again loved.
One of the most popular characters on Disney Junior today is Elena of Avalor. She made her debut on television over the summer, and the show has been a huge ratings success with its target audience. The characters charm both boys and girls, as the show has many likable characters for each gender, but it is clothing for girls that has made a big splash.
With winter upon us, here are some wonderful Elena of Avalor winter coats, accessories and outerwear for your little one to enjoy.
How to Pick the Perfect Winter Coat
Shopping for a winter coat is much different that shopping for a spring or fall jacket. Because the weather is much harsher, taking it off is not an option, unlike kids who remove their jackets after getting heated up on the playground or in the backyard.
The first thing to consider is that the coat has to be comfortable. Nothing itchy or tight will do, as you can imagine the struggles you will have getting out the door every time your child has to put it on. As a mother and a preschool teacher, I am a big fan of preventative measures!
The coat should permit the shoulders to move freely, even if the child is wearing a bulky sweater. The sleeves should also be the right length, as if they are too short the wrist will be exposed and if they are too long putting on gloves will present a challenge.
Elena of Avalor Winter Jacket Available on Amazon
This bright red Elena of Avalor winter coat will stand out in contrast to the white snow! It has an applique of Elena and her signature flowers in the front. It snaps closed and has a fleece lining to keep your little one extra warm on cold winter days.
Coats for More Temperate Climates
Not everyone lives in a place where the winters are cold and harsh. There are plenty of areas in the country that are more comfortable in winter and require lighter jackets or hoodies.
Elena of Avalor Fleece Jacket from Amazon
There is a lovely selection of raincoats and heavier jackets that little girls would love to wear to play outside and on their way to school.
More Things to Consider When Selecting the Right Coat
You also have to choose whether or not a hood is important. Some kids like hats and others do not. If a coat has a detachable hood, that is a great option as it can be used as needed. Pockets are also a wonderful feature to have, as gloves or mittens can be stored in them.
How long should a coat be? That depends on the taste of your child. Most boys coats are waist length, while girls have more style options. Long coats may inhibit play on the playground, as they will slow a child down when running around. However, they are great for outdoor play!
Most importantly, when it comes to children's winter coats, it needs to be machine washable. Do you really want to schlep your child's coat to the cleaners every time it gets dirty?
Disney Elena of Avalor Winter and Outdoor Wear
This and Other Elena of Avalor Hat and Glove Sets Available on Amazon
As a preschool teacher, it is important for me to take my students out if the weather is above freezing. Kids need to run outside and get out their energy, especially since most parents are not going to go out in the cold to play with their child. Therefore, dressing a child for the weather becomes even more important as the temperature begins to drop. Even if it is for ten minutes, my colleague and I will take our four year olds out on the playground. They only complain to us if they are not dressed properly, i.e, they forgot their gloves or a hat.
Elena of Avalor Pink Winter Accessory Set from Amazon
Accessories are important to finishing your look, whether you are three or ninety-three! Here are some Disney Elena of Avalor inspired styles that your child will adore. If she is prone to losing hats and mittens, buy two sets and save yourself some tears and aggravation!
Should You Buy Winter Coats in Advance?
One way many parents love to save money is to buy items a size larger than they need to be. They figure that they will get two winters use of it a coat instead of one, so by averaging it out, they will save. However, a child's growth is unpredictable, and your son or daughter just may have a growth spurt that will send you back to the store the next winter anyway. Let your kids be comfortable and buy them the appropriate size.
This same theory also holds true for buying coats off season. When the air starts to get warmer, the sales on the clearance rack tend to get hotter as stores need to get rid of old merchandise in favor of new. You can buy a coat the next size up, but who is to say your child will favor that style next year? If s/he does not, then you will have arguments about wearing it. As I said before, being preventative is the best option!

don't mix tofu and spinach
My husband and I are trying to become vegan after watching the "eating" DVD and reading the book "mad cowboy". We just started to subscribe to regularly delivered farm veggie/fruit and vegan home cook meal delivery. I tried cooking a few things last week and most of them came out pretty well.
Only problem is I have a 3 yr old at home and like most kids that age, she doesn't like a lot of food and her taste changes everyday. So far she likes tofu, just plain ones that I boiled in water, and also if I pan fry with some soy sauce. But I can't give her tofu all the time. She doesn't like the soy beef or chicken I got at Trader's Joe, so I am still trying to figure out what to make for her. I am still buying egg for those days when she doesn't eat anything else but rice or noodle.
Meanwhile, I got some "bad" new from a friend. I love tofu and spinach, but she told me not to mix the two because calcium in tofu will react to oxalate in the spinach and promotes the formation of kidney stones. I googled about this and there is no specific mention of tofu and spinach mix, only about kidney stones form from calcium oxolate, but tofu is confirmed to be a calcium rich food.
Hi! I don't eat much tofu, so I can't help you there. Take a look at the What did you cook/eat today: Parents and Kids Edition! thread for ideas. What about chopping up veggies and rolling them in rice paper, spring roll style? It's fun finger food. If you can get a variety of food in her (it's a tough job for some kids), I wouldn't specifically worry about the protein, if that's why you're giving her the tofu. Do three-year-olds drink from straws? You could also blend vanilla almond milk, vanilla protein powder, half a banana, and some other fruit to make a smoothie.
regarding oxalates, spinach does have them. but spinach also has calcium, which is why spinach isn't as great of a source of calcium as it appears to be. calcium with oxalate actually appears to decrease oxalate absorption in the GI tract, as stated here:
but regardless, there is not so large an amount of oxalates in spinach that it sequesters calcium from other foods. some greens (like taro leaf) have higher levels of oxalate, and if consumed raw, is fairly toxic. but spinach is relatively low.
the calcium oxalate kidney stones depend on calcium & oxalic acid filtration in the kidney; in other words, both of these substances have to be in your bloodstream. If you're not absorbing oxalic acid (or not a whole lot of it), then it won't be coming out through the kidneys. Also, calcium oxalate stones tend to form in an acidic urine. Plant-based diets tend to yield more alkaline urine because of the different protein composition (I think that's why?) versus animal foods. So, everything else being equal, a vegan will have a urine that is more alkaline than an omnivore, and be less disposed to forming oxalate stones. I think that there was a organization (american urological society or something. or nephrology, i forget) that recommended reduced dietary animal protein to prevent kidney stones (as well as less salt, more water, etc).
Excellent answer FB....nuff said.

|The rich got richer.
|Ric Bucher ESPN Mag
|The Spurs are deeper than last year, with no chemistry issues to derail them. If they don't repeat as champions, there should be a congressional hearing not that that will provide any answers, but you know what I'm saying.
|John Carroll Scouts Inc.
|The rich get richer, adding Finley, Van Exel and Oberto. Best defensive team in the NBA, with Duncan on the inside and Bruce Bowen on the perimeter. They have all the ingredients to repeat: talent, depth, defense, experience and coaching.
|Chad Ford ESPN Insider
| The world champs got deeper in the offseason both in the frontcourt and backcourt. They are head and shoulders above everyone else in the West now.
| John Hollinger ESPN Insider
|The premier organization in basketball, if not in all sports. Though the Spurs are the worst nightmare for the NBA marketing people, their stingy defense and seamless chemistry are a winning combo.

Getting Nick will prove bigger than getting Mike Finley. So deep, they're bottomless.

What's not to like? Only drama comes in worrying about whether Duncan is, and stays, healthy.
|Jim O'Brien ESPN Insider
|Spurs are destined for another run at the title. They have added a great piece with Michael Finley. Loaded with confidence and depth, they should be unstoppable in the West.
|Will Perdue ESPN Insider
|Foes can only hope Tim Duncan protests the dress code, gets suspended and misses some games. He will tuck in his game jersey but not his dress shirt. Look for more production from Brent Barry.
|Chris Sheridan ESPN.com Insider
|Every year, the Spurs sleepwalk through the first three months of the season before hitting their peak form in March and early April. The difference this time is their depth, which should fuel a stronger start and a run toward 68-69 victories.
|Marc Stein ESPN.com
|They're not going to win 70 games, because the Spurs generally start slow and because Gregg Popovich won't waste energy letting them chase the number. They have the deepest roster in club history.
|Starters: They were the best last season. They're better this season.
|In battle with Shaq to see who gets more rings.
|His number should be five-oh after D he put on Shawn Marion.
|Made 7-footer Rasho Nesterovic disappear.
|He should be in the LeBron/D-Wade conversation.
|Goes through lapses and slumps, but few are better.
|Bench: Michael Finley, Robert Horry, Nick Van Exel, Brent Barry, Nesterovic. Lord have mercy! That's a starting five.

Tim Duncan
Player Efficiency Rating
vs. NBA Avg: +12.13
The coaches have voted Tim Duncan first-team All-Defense six of the eight seasons he's been in the league, but the writers have this giant blind spot toward him when it comes to Defensive Player of the Year voting. Last season, for instance, Duncan got only six votes for the award and finished fourth in the voting. Marcus Camby, who played fewer minutes and was less effective when he played, got 19 votes. Huh?The past two years Duncan has been the linchpin of two of the best defensive teams in history, and yet he has never won the Defensive Player of the Year trophy. He wasn't even the highest-finishing Spur, as teammate Bruce Bowen beat him in the voting for two straight seasons. I realize Duncan isn't as spectacular as some other players and doesn't come flying in from left field to swat shots into the 12th row, but is that really our criterion? If the writers are covering teams for 82 games they should be able to see beyond this. The guy is a one-man roadblock. What people fail to understand about Duncan is how hard it is to combine dominant shot-blocking with dominant rebounding. Most players who block shots do so in part by leaving the defensive boards exposed. If a player leaves his man to go for a block and jumps as high as he can to get it, his man has an open path to the basket. Thus, if the player fails to block the shot, his man can easily get an offensive rebound and score. Duncan almost never gets out of position like this. He blocks some shots without jumping at all, and on others he uses his long arms and timing to deflect the shot with just a quick hop. As a result, he never leaves the offensive boards exposed even as he's blocking shots at a prodigious rate. Last season Duncan blocked 3.1 shots per 40 minutes while posting the third-best Rebound Rate at his position, both of which were better rates than Wallace's. Duncan had the league's best Defensive PER by far, and his numbers the year before were just as dominant. Over the past two seasons, the Spurs gave up 7.3 points more per 48 minutes when Duncan left the court. The same numbers for Bowen, Ben Wallace and Ron Artest are 3.0, 3.3, and 4.6 respectively. No disrespect to those three, but Duncan is clearly the best defensive player in the game. Maybe some day the writers will notice. Offensively, he's no slouch either. His trademark bank shot from the left block is the centerpiece of a diverse post game. Duncan has markedly cut his Turnover Ratio the past two seasons, but he needs to develop more moves going to his left, and it would be nice if he'd learn how to shoot a lefty layup. Otherwise, the only noteworthy accomplishment is Duncan's incredible consistency. His past three seasons are virtual carbon copies, and it seems he can keep producing them ad infinitum. -- Spurs player profiles from John Hollinger's "Pro Basketball Forecast: 2005-06," available at Amazon.com and Potomac Books.
How will Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel fit in with the Spurs?
62.4% Both fit in great, immediately jell with new teammates
24.1% Finley fits in, Van Exel doesn't
8.4% Neither finds a comfort zone with new roles
5.1% Van Exel fits in, Finley doesn't
Legs on Spurs: It looks like I'll be spending a good part of June down by the river. As in, the River Walk.
It's become commonplace (three titles in seven years) in recent years to see the Spurs drifting merrily on a ferry celebrating another NBA crown. This year, however, may be the best team the Spurs have ever had. Over the last three seasons we have seen Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker form one of the best trios in recent memory.
When you throw in stopper Bruce Bowen, sharpshooters Brent Barry and Robert Horry, and rebounder/shot blocker Nazr Mohammed, you have the most well-rounded team in the league.
What's scary is the Spurs have added Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel, two veteran players hungry for a title and capable of carrying the offense from time to time so the Big Three can get a little more rest in order to stay fresh for another long postseason run.
The unselfish framework that Gregg Popovich has created will lead to Duncan's first back-to-back NBA titles.
Tim Legler, ESPN Insider
Gregg Popovich
Experience: 9 years
Reg. season record: 455-233
Playoff record: 69-41
NBA Titles: 3
Coach's profile
Coach Pop might be the best there is in the NBA.
After winning his third NBA crown, his Spurs got better over the summer, adding Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel.
Duncan's free-throw shooting and a less-than-stellar 21-20 road record are seemingly the only problem areas that need to be addressed.
Jim O'Brien, ESPN.com Insider
San Antonio bolstered the roster in the offseason with three acquisitions -- point guard Nick Van Exel, swingman Michael Finley, and big man Fabricio Oberto.
Finley was the biggest catch, although his production diminished in his final season in Dallas. The Spurs will hope he can bounce back after offseason surgery for bone spurs in his ankle and regain some of the hops from his younger days. Even if he doesn't, Finley is a good outside shooter who rarely turns the ball over, so he should fit in easily as the Spurs' sixth man. His main adjustments will be learning how to come off the bench and getting used to the shuttle substitution methods of Gregg Popovich.
Van Exel might not see much action during the regular season, but he is Popovich's insurance policy if Beno Udrih flames out in the playoffs again (plus, signing Van Exel helped lure Finley, his former teammate).
Instead, the most important addition might be the most unknown player of the group, Oberto. The Spurs might lean on the big man from Argentina for big minutes so Robert Horry will be fresh for the postseason, particularly if they decide to phase Rasho Nesterovic out of the rotation. Oberto has played in Spain the past few seasons, putting up very solid numbers, although -- unusual for a Spur -- his reputation is mainly as an offensive player.
Sleeper: Manu Ginobili's stats keep improving every year, and they will again. Fantasy owners recall Manu was a top-10 player the first two months last season before dropping off. Don't expect a ton of rebounds or assists, but Ginobili is a fine shooter who could score 18 points a night as he takes over more responsibility from Tim Duncan.
Bust: Michael Finley could have chosen to play with a team that needed him to score 20 points a night. Instead, he opted for playoff success, which in this case, means fantasy bust. Finley has the name value, but he's lost a few steps. Don't expect him to come close to matching his 15.7 points per game or other stats.

Last week, an NYC principal banned the singing of "God Bless the USA" at a kindergarten graduation, and replaced it with Justin Bieber's "Baby." Despite the uproar, New York City's school chancellor announced support for her decision yesterday. However, now Bieber has also been deemed inappropriate.
Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday that PS 90 in Brooklyn has scrapped Justin Bieber's ballad "Baby" from being belted out at the school's June 20 kindergarten graduation ceremony. "The principal has decided she's not going to sing that song. It's the principal's decision, and we support the principals," Bloomberg said during a press conference at the Bushwick HS campus.
Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" will not be reinstated, but at least Bieber's "Baby" is no longer the replacement.

Well we've officially played through our first campaign at the Eagles. The final week is upon us and after this it becomes fond memories of crazy shenanigans, Ed and Matt needlessly murdering their crews with injuries, and Ian rage quitting after week 2.
So what are people's thoughts/reactions now that the campaign has gone from Beta and speculation to actual play time?
I didn't get to enjoy as many games as I was hoping with work and other shit coming up. The games I did play were fun though and I really enjoyed the continuity between games and the leveling of characters, etc. I was ok starting small and working my way up but on the flip side I think the system would be equally enjoyable if we started with Masters rather than henchmen which I know was a bit of a negative for some folks.
What do other people think? Will anyone be interested in doing this again in the future or was this our one and done? Any thoughts on ways to improve it for our group so that people would like it more? I'm looking forward to some normal faux again but I could definitely enjoy another campaign.

Perfect photos of celebrities are so photoshopped that when they post a no makeup photo on their Instagram profile, everyone is shocked. Celebrities are people too. They surely do not look perfect from top to bottom. The following pictures show the beauty of being imperfect, even though people perceive you as a flawless beauty icon.
1. Kesha
Kesha had an embarrassing confession in one of her interviews. The singer admitted: "I had a tail when I was born. It was a tiny tail, about a quarter of an inch, then they chopped it off and stole my tail. That was when I was little. I'm really sad about that story."
2. Stephen Colbert
Colbert suffered from a ruptured ear drum when he was little. Therefore, he went completely deaf in his right ear. Colbert likes to bring attention to his ear by bending and flipping it.
3. Megan Fox
Did you know that Meagan Fox has a clubbed thumb?
4. Denzel Washington
Denzel loves basketball, but he broke his finger when he was younger while playing. It never got properly fixed.
5. Mark Wahlberg
You never thought Mark Wahlberg had much in common with Chandler from "Friends". But, they both have a third nipple, apparently.
6. Jennifer Garner
It's not something uncommon. Her big toes are smaller than the rest of her toes.
7. Karolina Kurkova
It's not what you're looking at! The Victoria's Secret Angel doesn't have a belly button. Her missing belly button is a result of an infant operation she had. For work, she often gets a belly button photoshopped onto her images.
8. Tina Fey
Tina Fey has a scar on her face, which is not so noticeable. It all happened like this. When she was 5, she was playing in her front yard when she was attacked by a stranger. He violently slashed her across the face with a knife. So scary!
9. Damon Wayans
Damon has a clubfoot and you can almost never see him with his feet uncovered.
10. Gerald Green
NBA player Gerald Green always tries to keep his right hand hidden. Why is that so? Because of his missing finger.
11. Vince Vaughn
The "True Detective" star had an accident at the age of 17 where he lost the tip of his right thumb.
12. Joaquin Phoenix
The actor has a scar between his lips and nose. There were speculations that he was born with a cleft lip and he had to fix it with surgery. However, that's incorrect. He was actually born with the scar, a condition known as a microform cleft.
13. Paul Stanley
Stanley has no ear canal on his right side as a result of being born with a congenital deformity. He is also nearly deaf on that side.
14. LeBron James
The Cavs star has abnormal toes.
15. Andy Garcia
Garcia was born with an undeveloped conjoined twin. The twin was the size of a tennis ball attached to his shoulder. Doctors removed it surgically, but there is still a visible scar.
16. Ashton Kutcher
Kutcher has slightly webbed feet. He revealed this in 2008 on "The Jonathan Ross Show".
17. Oprah Winfrey
There's something about her foot, and people speculate it might be from a foot surgery.
18. Kate Bosworth
The beautiful Kate Bosworth has a noticeable case of heterochromia. This means that the pigments in her irises are two different colors. She covers it with contac lenses while working.

Do you ever ask yourself….
'How can I lose weight and still feel comfortable in my body as we are in the process of transforming each other?'
The other day I was talking with a friend. She mentioned a time in her life when she weighed about 20 pounds more than she ever had.
My immediate thoughts:
I was waiting to hear her shame her own body with phrases like,
- "I look so disgusting."
- "I hate myself in the mirror."
- "I just want to look skinny again."
But here's what surprised me!
She talked about her body with respect and love. She said she didn't feel as healthy or strong with the extra weight. She said she stopped caring for her body the way she had before.
In other words, this friend was listening to her body rather than judging her.
This is the core of the Body Knowledge System®. She gets it and practices it. Yeah!
This is the process I want for those of you who are listening and want to know more.
So, instead of setting out to lose weight and get thin again, she set out to love her body by listening to what she needed. And the result was feeling comfortable with the weight her body and she wanted. I am so excited for my friend!
Side note:
She said the results were not overnight, but she believes that by reconnecting with her body and embracing her Body Knowledge System® Style she redefined her relationship with her body to create the new process of eating to allow each other (her and her body) to breathe and find a common ground of acceptance.
During this process of implementing and acknowledging her Body Knowledge System® Style she simply spoke of how amazing she feels! And she also likes how she looks.
And by knowing her Body knowledge System® Style the weight loss was easier and looking and feeling with her body had renewed energy and acceptance.
Check out the link above for the Body Knowledge System ® Style guide around Eating and You.

Debenhams is in the process of introducing digital receipts for customers shopping with the retailer in the run up to Christmas.
A Debenhams spokesperson told Essential eCommerce: "Debenhams has launched electronic receipts for customers and this is being rolled out across all our stores. This option will be available in all stores by early November ready for the Christmas trading."
It is believed Debenhams is providing customers with digital receipts by working with solutions provider eReceipts, which also works with the likes of Monsoon Accessorize and Argos.
Why provide digital receipts?
Spencer Izard, head of IDC retail insights for Europe, said: "At IDC Retail Insights we see the use of eReceipts by retailers as still nascent in nature. Also, many of the retailers providing eReceipts have fallen into a pattern of duplicating the style or format of paper based receipts rather than fully leveraging the richer experience that can be provided through digital receipts."
Izard said for digital receipts to be successful retailers should look towards companies like Uber which provide stylish eReceipts with extra information about the purchase that a traditional paper receipt would not convey. "So the opportunity is using eReceipts to provide an enhanced and more personalised experience from which the retailer acquires the consumers email from an initial transaction. This is another conduit for retailers to provide enhanced digital experiences rather than just duplicating existing physical approaches."
Meanwhile, Andy Mulcahy, editor at IMRG, said rolling out digital receipt technology can help retailers build up a more complete picture of shopper behaviour across channels.
"But it doesn't represent an end in itself," he said. "Success is determined by how the data will be used to enhance the experiences that customer receives going forward, which starts with the additional marketing opportunity presented by the eReceipt – including irrelevant or outdated information in that can actually end up detracting from what otherwise may have been a positive brand-building exercise."

Bethany Hagen grew up in Kansas City, which means she loves barbeque and can tolerate jazz for brief amounts of time. She grew up reading Bronte and Austen, practicing kenpo karate, and writing such wonderful epics as The Tale of the Lego Monster and The Flamingo Tales, Vol. 1 (sadly, there was never another volume.) She received her B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Kansas.
She still lives in the Kansas City area with her husband (whom she met while doing karate) and their two toddlers. When she's not working in the public library, she's working on her next black belt or drinking coffee or working her way through the massive piles of unread books in her home. You can find Bethany at her blog or on Twitter.
Bethany is represented by Mollie Glick of Foundry Media. Her debut, LANDRY PARK, will be released by Dial/Penguin in Fall of 2013.
LANDRY PARK, pitched as "Gone with the Nuclear Wind,"is set in a world ruled by the lavish Gentry, who force a people called the Rootless to handle the nuclear material that powers their large estates. When a Gentry girl is attacked, sixteen-year-old Madeline Landry can't escape the rumors of revolution and retribution circulating through the ballrooms--and the city's new golden boy David is at the middle of them. Soon, she finds herself forced to choose between her duty and her desires, her ancestral destiny and her conscience.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I got the same error when trying to open a local file. The exception is raised in the ReadPackageContent method in the MainPage.xaml.cs. It seems that each call to Application.GetResourceStream is returning null, so the call to
Application.GetResourceStream(_streamResourceInfo, ConvertPartName(FixedDocSeqPath)).Stream
is causing the NullReferenceException. I haven't been able to find a way to resolve the issue. Maybe someone with a little better understanding of the XPS architecture can provide some insight.
Also, when trying to load a remote file from the web via URL, I get a security exception. So in short, this code doesn't work at all for me.
I have discovered that happens when you try to open an xps file created using the xps printer. If you open a xps file created by using "Save As" and selecting the xps format it is viewable. It appears the xml under the hood is different.
(Sorry for my bad english)
The problem is not in the XML but in the XPS file. If you rename the XPS file to ZIP, discompact it and recompact to ZIP (i tested using winRar) and rename it again to XPS, almost works... but now it choke when trying to parse the XAML with a "Cannot
find a Resource with the Name/Key R0" because in the XAML it created multiple:
Data="{StaticResource RX}"
where X is a number. I tried to simply remove those "Data" from the XAML and it loaded but some random letters are missing from the render (!?).... I think it would be nice to be able to load any XPS,
not only those generated by Office but sadly I do not have the sufficient skills to make this work (i am trying to hack something, anyway)
PS.: Looks like the StaticResource error only happens with PDF files... Images and text files are working fine after re-compact the xps file.

Savannah, GA
Recently, my daughter and I visited Savannah, GA.
You can see some of the pictures not seen below on Flickr
I posted on Twitter asking for recommendations for the area prior to visiting. Almost instantly, VisitSavannah on Twitter responded and I got their tour guide via snail mail, which was helpful for finding things to do in the area.
We ended up staying in The Hyatt Regency Savannah and loved it!.
Our room was over looking the river (which was great until the last day when the stench from the mills, ships, etc. around there blew in).
The customer service all the way from the valet, to the front desk, to the concierge, and the room service was remarkable.
Everyone was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond…then again what else would one expect from The Hyatt.
With the AAA discounts and other promotions, we received breakfast via room service every day we were there which was a pleasure! The food was scrumptious and my daughter even devoured her biscuits & sausage gravy (and she's a picky eater so this was outstanding!). Desserts nightly via room service as well were an added treat during our stay. The women who brought us our goodies were mega polite (not sure how many times I heard "Thank you Ms Burner, Have a good day Ms Burner, Have a good night Ms Burner" but sure was welcome change from South Florida!).
We enjoyed walking around City Market and visiting the little shops and took a horse carriage tour as well.
We were going to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant, but the earliest time we could get in was at 9:45 p.m for dinner and then after looking at menu discovered there wasn't anything that either my daughter nor I would've eaten! So, we passed on that.
We ate lunch at Belford's of Savannah, where my daughter had chicken alfredo as seen below and loved it.
Here's a picture of the fried green tomatoes as well that my daughter took.
(note, these pictures are copyrighted so please don't swipe them! thank you!)
As you enjoy a stroll on River Street, you must stop in River Street Sweets who also has Market Street Sweets in Charleston, SC.
Here are some of the pictures my daughter took of some of the mouth watery treats.
(note, these pictures are copyrighted so please don't swipe them! thank you!)
We experienced a not so wonderful tour via Old Town Trolley with "Tim" our guide who was lousy at best. He blew by things so quickly that there was no time to really see anything. He spoke quickly and not clearly, so in addition to not seeing any sights we had no clue as to what he was even saying most the time.
We've used them when visiting St. Augustine, FL and have always had excellent guides and enjoyed the tour.
I was really disappointed that every tour guide person (be it on trolley, bus or carriage) all said the same thing about the park where they filmed Forrest Gump and Tom Hanks was sitting on the bench waiting for the bus. They all showed the park where that was and said that any one of the benches could be photographed and you can say it was the same bench. The only problem with that is, the bench he sat on was facing the street waiting for the bus, and all the benches in the park are within the park and face inwards. Yes, I know…not a big issue but I had the ideal photo opp planned and couldn't do it!
All in all, the trip was enjoyable but Charleston, SC and St Augustine are still favored for south east coast vacation spots.

You will find many "classic" Thankgiving dishes. In only the last few generations, a green bean casserole recipe has been included with that list. The green bean casserole formula has remained practically the exact same. It was first developed by the Campbell's Soup business. You can get more flavor in a green bean casserole with just a couple extra steps.

D.*European Journal of Anaesthesiology (EJA): August 2006 - Volume 23 - Issue 8 - p 641-648 doi: 10.1017/S0265021506000640 Review Abstract Author Information Cardiac complications are the major cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. This is related to the frequent presence of underlying coronary artery disease. In the last few decades, attention has focused on preoperative cardiac risk assessment that may help to identify patients at increased cardiac risk for whom cardioprotective medication and, when indicated, coronary revascularization may improve perioperative outcome. On the other hand, less attention was given to the role of anaesthesia and monitoring techniques in the cardiac risk management of high-risk patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this review was to summarize the current evidence from published studies on the effect of the type of anaesthesia and monitoring techniques on perioperative cardiac outcome in non-cardiac surgery. * Semmelweis University, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Budapest, Hungary † University of Pecs School of Medicine, Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Pecs, Hungary Correspondence to: M.
