Take it from the married guy: dating advice from a happily married man
by Jod Kaftan
George Miller, a famous psychology professor from Princeton University, determined the human mind can only remember about seven pieces of information. This can't be right. When it comes to romance and dating, I can only remember three. It could be my ADD. It's also likely that, as a long time bachelor now married, I have only gained three pieces of insight from some slowly wrought trial and error. Remember how they say men mature slowly? Yeah, they forgot to mention the learning curve never ends. So here's my 2 cents:
* Faith: I had a long career as a single man (with varying degrees of success and failure—okay, failure). And when I think about why many of my relationships fizzled it's because I lacked one thing: faith in the relationship—and more importantly, faith in myself (i.e. "why would someone want to love me?"). What does faith really mean? Part of it means accepting that life is unsettled, messy and unfinished. Embrace the surprises that life has to offer, and focus on just reinforcing the bond with your loved one. Don't let fear of the unknown stunt your efforts. Know that real love can endure anything you throw at it. That's faith. If you love them, believe in it, and be okay with not being able to control every aspect of your romantic destiny.
* Judgment: Faith is meaningless if you're dating someone you know is bad for you; someone who has no interest in really working to be happy, or, especially, someone who's just dating you for sex to fill a lonely void. To be in a successful relationship you have to really believe that you deserve it. If you do, you will attract someone who wants the same thing. Yes, it's easier said then done. And it requires, in some cases, years of patience and fine-tuned discrimination. But never give your heart to someone you know doesn't want to be in a relationship. You'll only be hurting both of you. If they say "I'm only going to hurt you in the end" believe them–they will. And you're no Dr. Phil, so don't try to reform them.
* Forgiveness: My own relationship with my wife is kind of easy. I adore her. Does she annoy me sometimes? Hell, yeah! But I always let the love between us take charge. And that means not holding onto things that will only fester down the road. Love should always be the reference point. I ask myself: "Would I rather be right, or happy?" Being right is great if you're a mathematician, but not if you're a lover. This doesn't mean I roll over every time. If I'm upset I deal with it. But again, let the love absorb the mistakes you both make—and never hold on to anger because it will only be toxic. If you accept people are fallible then you understand the most important thing in the world: yourself.

Girl Power: ladies making the first move
By Carrie Seim
It's high time for ladies to go on the offense when it comes to the game of love. The old "rules" said ladies had to wait around for their gentlemen callers. The new rules say – how boring is that?
Anne, a Jersey girl on Zoosk, took a shining to Zoosker Paul's profile. Instead of twiddling her thumbs, waiting for an engraved invitation to love, Annie "favorited" his profile. Paul winked back. And as of January 2, the two are officially an item! Instead of playing hard to get and letting guys deal the cards, Annie bravely reshuffled the deck. Her Zoosk success story proves that women should stop waiting and start dating! After all, making the first move looks good on you!
Go ahead, send him a wink.
If a lucky guy catches your eye on Zoosk, don't be afraid to favorite him, send him a wink or toss him a flirt. These low-risk moves can bring big success to your love life. Nothing winked, nothing gained, right?
You'd be surprised at how much men crave compliments, and how seldom they receive them. There's nothing more flattering than a flirt from a sultry stranger. (That's you.) So send him a friendly wink. Or give him kudos for the spectacles he's sporting in his profile pic. Or answer one of his Date Card icebreakers with a compliment on his curiosity.
You don't have to propose marriage – just give a hint that you're into him. Then watch how fast he comes running! Nervous that men only want a chase? Not so fast…
Men dig ladies who make a move
"The one thing that always makes me feel like a rock star is when a girl approaches me first," says 30-year-old Dan from Los Angeles. "It's that simple."
Men across the country have told me how attracted they are to women who go for what they want – especially when what they want is them.
Bring it
If there's one thing guys aren't short on, it's overconfident delusion. This can be annoying at times ("I'm the best Rock Band player to walk the earth,") but it's a valuable commodity in the flirting field.
So try their tricks. Think about how fascinating, funny and fox you are before you approach a lucky guy. And remember how thrilled he's going to be to hear from you.
Because really, what are you risking? If for some insane reason the dude doesn't wink back, well, there are 50 million singles on Zoosk, so there are million more guys to choose from!
No more waiting around for Prince Charming, ladies. Time to find your own glass slipper!26 Comments 170 weeks

Some minor updates
As for the "Dual-SD card slots", that's only in the Nikon D600 - unfortunately the 6D only has one SD slot. Other interesting points is that it only has 1 cross-type AF point, no headphone jack for sampling the audio levels, and only a 1/180 sec max sync speed. On the plus side the wifi should work for tethering and remote control with android and iOS devices.

Lawson's 'Brokenhearted' now has some 'art' to accompany it
Take a few minutes to locate the artwork in this post. Look at Lawson pretending not to be a boyband. [...]
Believe when we say we like it this way
As we mentioned yesterday, live music is almost always shit. Post-Tumblrpop covers are also, let's be honest, usually a waste of everybody's time.
And yet.
This exists. This piece of video shot during last night's Charli XCX instore performance at Chicago's Borderline Music. This pure and genuine and straightforward tribute to an all-time pop classic.
One wonders what it says about the current state of pop that a coming-at-pop-sideways artist like Charli XCX feels confident in and proud of her love for 'I Want It That Way', while a boyband like The Wanted are so self-conscious about the reality of their existence that they feel they have to take the piss out of it in order to be taken seriously.
Like the Charli cover? Here it is from another angle.
And another one.
You know, people don't half quack on about fans filming things at gigs, but if people didn't capture moments like this, where would we be? Consider how much better your day is thanks to these three video clips. Consider how much richer popular culture now is. That's a big old fuck you to the "boo hoo someone's capturing a joyful moment in their lives" brigade isn't it.

This is a voluntary initiative by members of the MeeGo community, designed to leverage the strength of forum (and even email) signatures to spread links to helpful MeeGo community resources.
Greeters here at MeeGo.com can be recognized by their distinctive (often multilingual) signatures within which are several useful links for the newcomer/beginner/curious. If you're new or curious, feel free to click through those links.
As well, Greeters are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in the MeeGo Forum.
Some notes for potential greeters:
Notes for newcomers:
It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.
By including links to helpful resources in post signatures, Greeters provide an extremely easy yet effective way of spreading access to knowledge. No technical expertise is required, no further engagement necessary. Just identify yourself as a MeeGo Greeter, include pointers to knowledge centers, and provide a useful service just by posting in the Forum!
Any member can volunteer for this activity, and it can be implemented by simply using the following (or similar) for your posting signature:
Hi, I'm a MeeGo Greeter! Welcome to the world of MeeGo! Useful links: Members say Hello | How to contribute to MeeGo | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | Community Communication | Community Guidelines | Glossary | Developer's Guide If I can help with anything else, just ask!

Not so long ago, issues such as gender, sexuality, and the relationship between the sexes were not systematically theorized, researched or taught. Today, however, there is such a large body of feminist knowledge and theory on these topics that it cannot be adequately covered within traditional disciplines. Feminist researchers have developed innovative theory and research techniques to address key questions about women's lives and status in society, and the dilemmas and contradictions in gender relations and sexualities in all societies. The teaching, research and outreach activities of the Centre are all informed by the belief that all social processes are 'gendered', and that understanding gender relations is therefore a crucial component in any teaching and research.

Lemonade-stand season
And these photos by photographer Joanna Ebenstein made me laugh. She passed two boys in Park Slope, Brooklyn, selling bacon panini, of all things! And at $3 a pop. Haha, only in NYC.

Entrepreneurship will save America!
♥So cute - I *always* stop at lemonade stands... Last summer I even made my husband turn the car around and go back after we passed one (he wasn't particularly thrilled to make a u-turn, but I think the sweet little girls made his heart melt when we got out of the car). What a fun interview!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. Sneaky kids and their cute ways to get money.
A Refreshed Take Offoh my goodness, this is fabulous.
this post reminds me of the other day, on my walk to our apartment from the bus. two little boys down my block had a lemonade stand set up. when i was still at the opposite end of the block, one ran all the way down to me and asked "do you want some lemonade!?" i said i did, and asked how much it was. he said, "well, it's 25 cents, unless you don't have any money. then it's free." break-your-heart-adorable. even more, i noticed there were two cups with a little money in each. i asked which i was supposed to put it in. they said, "well this one is for charity, and this one is for sales. so you can decide which one you put your money in." :')Oh, dear- I'm using the comments box not to remark on cute kids and lemonade stands, but to implore you NOT to use those video ads that just start playing w/ the audio... Yikes! Those are the WORST. And 2 of them?! Really, the lowest form of internet advertising, in my opinion. Just sharing some feedback. I sincerely hope they do not make a regular appearance on my favorite blog. XO
ReplyDeleteCute and such a coincidence! Over the weekend, I was riding a bike to check out the massive garage sales in my boyfriend's neighborhood. That's where I encountered two little brothers with delightful English accents who were selling lemonade for $1 at their family's garage sale. I bought a little Dixie cup full of the cool, lemony liquid. I found out I was their first customer! They were shy with me, but I had heard them talking among themselves regarding why they hadn't had any customers. They even played with my dollar bill afterward, pretending to be customers to their own stand. It was still early in the morning and already hot outside, so hopefully they got more customers!
ReplyDeleteI live on the Balboa peninsula in Newport Beach California and on the fourth of July (where the peninsula is pedestrian and bikes only and FILLED with vacationers and partiers) my 8 and 6 year old neighbors sell hot dogs, water, and otter pops to all of the visitors who only thought to bring alcohol. they make a killing every year! i'll suggest Panini's this year :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I remember doing lemonade stalls like this when I was younger, and I actually remember this one time when my little sister and I made a sign saying 'all the money goes to charity'. When people asked what charity it was, we made up one! Yes, I feel a little guilty about that now actually.....

We're three weeks away from the World Series and the possibility that a significant chunk of Litchfield County residents won't be able to watch it. Sound far-fetched? We'd have said the same thing if you'd told us that New York Giants and other NFL games would be blacked out for the first four weeks of the season - and counting - this fall.
But as of Monday, there was no progress and no end in sight for a standoff between Cablevision and the Tribune Co., which owns WTIC/Fox Connecticut.
In addition to the NFL, Cablevision subscribers have missed out on the season premieres for popular Fox shows such as American Idol, The Family Guy and The Simpsons.
People are angry. Torrington Mayor Ryan Bingham even stepped in to collect city residents' complaints and forward them on to Fox Connecticut and Cablevision.
But that hasn't put much pressure on the two sides to come to an agreement.
In fact, Jim Maiella, a spokesman for Cablevision, said that "customer reaction has been minimal."
That was in response to a question about whether the company had seen a significant decrease in the number of subscribers it has in Connecticut.
In other words, we can complain as much as we want about missing the Giants game, or The Simpsons, just as we can complain about higher rates.
Unless and until Cablevision subscribers actually start canceling and switching to DirecTV or another cable alternative, it won't have much effect on the company's decision-making process.
According to Maiella, Cablevision has agreed to pay "every penny" that Tribune, which also owns the Hartford Courant, has asked for the rights to carry Fox Connecticut. Continued...
The problem is a dispute over how much it will pay for other Tribune-owned stations, including WGN out of Chicago.
Until that dispute is resolved, Cablevision says that Tribune is choosing to black out all of its stations, including Fox Connecticut.
It alleges that Tribune "has failed to deliver a new proposal in more than a month."
Tribune spokesman Jessica Bellucci said that the company is working with Cablevision to "get a resolution," but refused to elaborate.
If it's true that Cablevision has agreed to pay full freight for Fox Connecticut, then perhaps local cable subscribers' ire should be directed at the parent company of Fox Connecticut and the Hartford Courant.
How many of us are burning for WGN Chicago to be restored to the local Cablevision lineup? What? You don't miss the Tyra Banks Show and Jerry Springer reruns?
It makes sense as a negotiating ploy that Tribune would use a network station that local NFL and Fox primetime TV lineup fans can't live without.
But the fact it needs to in order to have any leverage to win higher fees for stations such as WGN shows, perhaps, how weak the argument might be for those fees.
And in the meantime, the company that owns Fox Connecticut and the Hartford Courant is sticking it to 50,000 Connecticut households, and appears willing to let the World Series be blacked out in addition to the rest of the NFL season. One wonders when Fox Connecticut's advertisers will catch on.
Tribune has done a fine job so far in convincing viewers that Cablevision is to blame for the Fox Connecticut blackout. It's easy for us to make that leap. From billing and marketing practices, to customer service, to forcing channel lineups down your throat at increasing expense, they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Continued...
But if Fox Connecticut could put itself back on the air tomorrow at the full rate it has requested from Cablevision, it really does appear that the Tribune Company is screwing Connecticut TV viewers in order to make an extra buck elsewhere.

Melamine Soup/Cereal Bowl
Pistoulet is a beautiful collection of dinnerware, serveware and accessories that are brightly decorated with freely rendered flowers, vines and vegetables drawn from or influenced by the book, The Secrets of Pistoulet by Jana Kolpen. Bright, colorful drawings are set against wide watercolor washes that evoke the light and colors of Southern France. Virtually indestructible, melamine's light weight and sturdy construction is a natural for entertaining, especially outdoors. The Pistoulet melamine soup/cereal bowl is top rack dishwasher safe (not microwave safe), and goes great with other Pfaltzgraff Pistoulet pieces, like melamine salad plates, dinnerware sets, acrylic drinkware and more. Melamine soup/cereal bowl holds 20 ounce.

I am sure Makenzie is tired of hearing this, but I cannot believe it is already time for her to be a high school graduate. I have known Makenzie since she was a little girl because she is kinda like extended family. Let me see if I can say this without losing you: she is my brother-in-law's sister's child. I'm sure there is an easier way of saying that. Makenzie was just a little girl when my sister married her Uncle Chris. I was super excited when they asked me to do her Senior portraits because I knew it would be a lot of fun, and of course, it was. She did a great job during her session and who knows, maybe one day I can photograph her wedding. But, I'm sure her Mom would say that is quite some time away. Makenzie has big plans. She will be attending Meredith College in Raleigh this Fall. So, it was hard to narrow down, and I'm sure I could have narrowed it down some more, but it was just too hard, so here are my favs:
You may remember last summer I had the opportunity to do an engagement session for Jasmine and Kenny. I was also fortunate to photograph their wedding day as well. Both events were in New Bern at the Tryon Palace. The couple made their vows at St. Paul's Catholic Church and had a beautiful reception to follow at the NC History Museum. Jasmine was absolutely stunning! The bride and her bridesmaids got ready in the Aerie Bed and Breakfast, which was a wonderful place to photograph all her beautiful details. These were some of my favorites from the day….and of course, there are two shoe shots because I just love to do shoe shots…And just in case you didn't know, New Bern, North Carolina is the birth place of Pepsi-Cola…something I should know seeing as how my Grandfather and Father worked for Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company in Toledo, OH for quite some time. Be sure to take note of the old Pepsi bottles. Each guest received an old Pepsi bottle…so cool!
I am pleased to be a part of this year's Art Fields in Lake City, South Carolina. It is an art exhibit featuring the work of 400 artists. The work will be displayed in various venues in Lake City. My work was accepted and will be exhibited in Main Street Mercantile. The show will offer $100,000 in prizes. Here is a quote from the Art Fields website:
"ArtFields is a first-of-its-kind, Epic Southern Artfest Competition and Celebration to be held in the historic community of Lake City, South Carolina. The 10-day event will feature live music, dancing, delicious Southern foods, and cash prizes totaling $100,000 that will be awarded to winning artists.
Winning entries will be determined by votes from ArtFields attendees and a juried panel. Mark your calendar. ArtFields will take place April 19-28, 2013."
If you happen to be in Lake City or want to make a special trip, be sure to go in Main Streen Mercantile to look at my piece, "Flynn Cemetery Offerings." And if you like it, vote for it!

I am really exhibited to be a part of the Japan-U.S. Art Exchange Exhibition taking place in two cities in Japan this month. A big thanks to Yasuyuki Uzawa for inviting me to participate.
Okay, so the reason I title this "The Bree and Ty Show" is because they are quite the pair when it comes to camera theatrics..especially Bree. Although, this time it seemed that Ty had learned enough from his big sis to take the show. I am so late on posting these pictures. They were actually taken in November for their Christmas card. We decided to stick around my parents' house for this shoot, so that meant country roads and crop remnants. The colors of the crop remnant really worked well with their outfits, and of course, they had fun rummaging through the field. I love these kids…they really crack me up…seriously, how cute are they?

Epistle ReadingActs of the Apostles 6:1-7
IN THOSE DAYS, when the disciples were increasing in number, the Hellenists murmured against the Hebrews because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. And the twelve summoned the body of the disciples and said, "it is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brethren, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." And what they said pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochoros, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaos, a proselyte of Antioch. These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
At that time, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you." And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Help your child practice handwriting, and develop sound habits, with these ingenious templates! As kids trace each letter, they learn to form letters correctly and develop proper stroke patterns. The pliable 8½" x 11" manuscript templates force the hand to lift where lift should occur in the writing sequence, while numbers and arrows provide step-by-step instruction. Great for developing coordination; works equally well for righties and lefties. Kit includes 2 plates (with upper and lower case letters) plus 4 pencils. See Product Details

So disappointed that they are unusable
By Rose
from New Jersey
About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about School-Rite Handwriting Manuscript Kit:
I have not opened the Uppercase set yet; however, we have tried to use the lowercase letter template. The curves in which to follow do not connect/follow through to the rest of the letter so as to complete the letter. Examples are the letters "a, b, d, g, k, p and q". Therefore, when you see the letter afterward on the paper, it looks ridiculous and incorrect. Also, it would help if the letters were a bit smaller. We are trying to teach children not to write so big. I guess if they are younger, that wouldn't matter as much.I am so disappointed. I have not been able to find these stencils anywhere else, and was excited that you had them. I was counting on them to help my son to write better. I have not returned them, because I find it difficult and time consuming to do so. However, if I could easily do it, I would like a refund.

Quality Product. Sturdy and easy to use
By Deenie
from Delta, CO
About Me Education Oriented, Parent of 2 w autism
I bought this to help my 5 year old with Autism write better before starting kindergarten. He took to it right away wanting to write words. Not sure if it is helping writing letters freestyle because he won't follow the number guidelines but it is defitnately helping him write legible words that we sound out and spell together and then use the template to write them. My 3 year old with Autism took to it right away too - his fine motor skills are much stronger. He quickly wrote every letter with the template but not necessarily following the number guidelines either. In any case it gets them to the table to do work.

Good idea, but maybe not for toddlers
By Kingston's mom
from NYC
About Me First Time Parent
I got this to help my toddler with his letters and numbers. He likes using it, which is always a bonus. The letters have spacings which keep the shapes attached to the stencil, which throws him off when he goes to free hand trace the letter as the instructions suggest. He's still young, but I think he'll get it with repeated use and time.
Good Starting Place
By Mommyof2Boys
from Superior, WI
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I bought this for my almost 4 year old son because he is having a hard time holding a pencil and forming his letters in preschool. He loves working with the stencils and will use them for long periods of time by himself. However, as we work on tracing the letters on his own he's having a hard time writing them correctly because of the spaces caused by the stencils in many of the letters. It confuses him and he is not forming the letters correctly.
Great tool
By Sue O

About Me Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children
Great tool for learning and the kids were fighting over who gets to trace letters and numbers. Always a good sign when they are fighting over a toy, even though it was more educational.
Confidence building

Sorta happy
By jenn mommy of three
from St. Petersburg, FL
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I do like this product, but I think its over priced. I also dont like that there are breaks in the letters. They should not of done that. Its not how real letters look. So I have to teach them to connect the letters where the gaps are. Its ok.

Great learning tool
By Sandy
from Silver Spring, MD
I'm trying to get my 4yr old ready for Kindergarten. She loves to practice writing with these stencils and then trying to write the letters on her own. Its never too early to start getting your kids ready for school. There's no such thing as being too prepared.
By Jane
from Alta Loma, Ca
My daughter likes to "draw" her letters. This has helped her recognize the alphabet.
Just OK
By NA
from Iowa\
I got these for my 4 year old (so that she could get the hang of writting) and my 6 year old (who has issues with hand writting). I said just OK because these make the letters disconnted, and not how you actually write them. These are good for younger kids to practice with, but then I think you would have to kinda reteach them the proper/actual way to write them on their own
Love it!!!
By NJ_Mom
from Piscataway, NJ
My son loves using this product. He practices saying and writing his alphabet and feels confident using it.
Great product
By SWilkes
from perth amboy
