Ease of Use
I have been using this for about 3 months and have been getting my period every other week. My breasts have been tender for at least a month. At times I feel like this is making me go crazy with my mood swings. I used to be on a progesterone only pill for a couple of years and never had any side affects. I will not be staying on this.

Ease of Use
This is the best bc i have ever taken since I stop getting depo shot years ago. The best part is I do not get monthly cycles. I may have spotted maybe once or twice cant even recall when. I have no side effects. Love it. Base on other negative comments, I would say try and if it works for you great if not try something esle. Everybody reacts differently.

In February 2013, a hole opened up beneath a home in Florida, and swallowed a man.
Jeff Bush was asleep when a sinkhole opened up beneath his bedroom. Despite the efforts of his brother to rescue him, Jeff was never seen again and his body was never recovered.
Professor Iain Stewart travels to Florida to try and understand what killed Jeff, and why the geology of this state makes it the sinkhole capital of the world.

Employment and enrollment of young male veterans in the 2007–2009 recession
June 22, 2012
In 2007, nearly 1.5 million veterans had served in the United States Armed Forces since September 2001. By the end of 2007, the United States began a long recession, in which young workers faced particularly large employment losses. The chart compares the employment, educational, and training experiences of young male veterans and nonveterans during the January 2008–June 2009 time period, which coincides with the recession that began in December 2007 and continued through June 2009.
The percent of veterans employed or enrolled in college or training remained above the percent of nonveterans employed or enrolled from January 2008 through September 2008; the percent of veterans trended downward during that period, whereas the nonveteran percent remained mostly flat. After September 2008, the two groups moved together in a downward trend until January 2009. Starting in that month, the percent of veterans employed or enrolled in college or training generally rose, while the percent of nonveterans remained fairly flat. Veterans were more likely than nonveterans to be enrolled in college or a training program over the January 2008–June 2009 period. Many of the veterans were simultaneously employed and enrolled in college or training.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys program. To learn more, see "Employment, college enrollment, and training of young male veterans and nonveterans during the recent recession," (HTML) (PDF) by Donna Rothstein, in an issue of Beyond the Numbers published in June 2012. The data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, a nationally representative sample of men and women who were born in the years 1980 to 1984 and living in the United States at the time of the initial survey. Survey participants were first interviewed in 1997 when they were ages 12 to 17 and have been interviewed annually. Survey participants turned 24 to 28 years old in 2008. Veterans in the analysis are defined as those who had served in the military and were not on active duty at any point during the January 2008–June 2009 period. Nonveterans are defined as those who never served in the military.

ESPN is using unnamed sources again in a report that Julius Peppers wants to play with the Dallas Cowboys or three other teams, two of which are in the NFC.
Oddly, the other teams are not named, so we can assume the Cowboys are at the top of Peppers' wish list.
I have no idea how the Cowboys could sign Peppers when DeMarcus Ware will soon be, and deserves to be, the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. Other teams would certainly consider paying Peppers similar dough, but the Cowboys could not finagle it, not even Jerry. But it is interesting that it is no longer a rumor, and that Peppers does want to be a Cowboys.
Of course, many believe that the Cowboys don't need any more stars; they need leaders. These are the same people stamping an approval on signing Ray Lewis.
I've looked at the numbers and don't see how the Cowboys could bring Peppers on the team. However, we've yet to see any of these major changes that Jerry and Wade Phillips promised–something I continue to harp on.

If T-Mobile wanted to get attention for its HSPA+ network without trying to sell that ungainly label, it could promote its "3G+" network; that would be an honest way to say it's a little faster than the other guys (this week, anyhow -- AT&T is also rolling out HSPA+). But that's not as bold as using the 4G label, I guess, never mind its lack of relationship with the truth.
I find it interesting that the two carriers in the United States struggling to maintain their customer bases -- T-Mobile and Sprint -- are also the ones using false 4G claims. It shows their desperation. Even if users don't know what 4G really means, they know fear when they smell it.
The next time you buy a mobile device or pick a mobile carrier, here's a handy guide to the alphabet soup of cellular technologies and what generation they belong to:
- 2.5G: GPRS, EDGE, CMDA2000 1xRTT
- 3.5G: HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, Flash-OFDM, WiMax (IEEE 802.16d and 802.16e versions now being deployed), LTE (the first 3GPP version now being deployed)
- 4G: WiMax Release 2 (IEEE 802.16m), WirelessMAN Advanced, LTE Advanced, MBWA (IEEE 802.20) -- none of these is ready for commercial deployment, by the way
Don't let the carriers say otherwise.

Do you think more can be done amongst the youth and young people to combat cyber bullying?
We have already touched on ideas we can stop cyber bullying.
It is seen to be rampant amongst the young, but it also affects young adults (workplace bullying). Misuse of the Internet, especially when the use of the internet and social media is almost ubiquitous in today's wired generation is also becoming increasingly common.
We have all seen various cases of cyber bullying leading to suicide e.g Amanda Todd, Hannah Smith
I feel that one of the main causes of bullying is apathy amongst the crowds; we are too afraid to intervene in a bullying case for fear of being targeted ourselves.
It has also become common to set up memorial pages on Facebook after a person has died to spread awareness. However, these pages are often also targeted by other bullies and defaced. While we can spread awareness through Facebook 'likes', it often does not do anything to solve the issue.
Just a shout out, what do you all think can be done to create awareness / mitigate the problem? Government policies, school administration, amongst the youth.. etc.
Examples of things done to combat cyberbullying in your own communities / countries would be helpful too!
cheers :)

VERBAL IMAGERY(see more by this artist)
HONSHAZESHONEN provides the inner lens to see past the illusion of imperfection in order to relate to all sentient beings from our Godhood with no fear or attachment to what seems to be presenting itself. In truth, we are all Spiritual beings that have chosen differing roles in this play called life on Earth in order to provide us with the opportunities to express the love, light and forgiveness that we are. It also is used for remote healings sending our love and healing intentions and prayers to those to whom they are open to receive them. This powerful healing symbol of many Reiki lineages aligns us to the Divine within ourselves and to recognize the Divinity in others and within all life itself.
This symbol correlates to the 3rd eye chakra which is the center of psychic vision, higher intuitive information, inner wisdom, creativity, imagination, and devotion to spiritual knowledge, the energies of the spirit, magnetic forces, and light. Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen assists in the purification of negative tendencies and in the elimination of selfish attitudes, denial, refusal to take responsibility for ones actions and confusion.
The anatomy related to this chakra Cerebellum, pituitary and pineal glands, liver, gallbladder, nose, ears, left eye, central nervous system, learning problems, spinal problems, hearing problems, tinnitus, eye problems.

One wedding didn't start off as planned for one little flower girl as she ran screaming down the aisle in a video posted on YouTube.com!
According to a posting on YouTube.com, the family who posted the clip blames the outburst on a mix up behind the scenes. Apparently the flower girl's uncle tried to get her to hold hands with the ring bearer, who is also her brother.Looks like she didn't think it was a good idea!

November is National Novel Writing Month. Tens of thousands of writers will spend this month frantically pounding the keyboard attempting the impossible – complete a 50,000 word novel before the month ends. In honor of all those intrepid souls, I blogged a little fiction, only 1300 words or so. I hope you enjoy "A Tale From the Library".
Read more
This morning, at 6:15 AM, my eyes popped open and I cried, "NaNoWriMo!"
Of course, I made the obligatory rounds. I called my groggy mother who said, "That's nice dear." I texted all of my fellow WriMo friends to encourage them, and I got on Facebook and spammed those who were smart enough not to give me their phone numbers. I am PUMPED! I am READY! I am... PREPARED? Not so much.
So, as part of National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo), our branch has set up a special display for all you aspiring novelists out there! Need to know how to word build for your sci-fi or fantasy? Want some tips on writing characters or dialogue? Next, come check out our snazzy new display over in the Teen's section of the library.
It is that time of year again: time to sharpen your pencils, pull out your laptop or typewriter, and begin the adventure! That's right, it's National Novel Writing Month, or NaNo for short. NaNo happens every November. It is when you challenge yourself to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. It is intense, it is caffeine and sugar driven, it is insanity, and it is the most fun you can legally have in 30 days.
Have you always wanted to write a book but just didn't think you could? If so, www.nanowrimo.org has just the adventure for you...National Write A Novel Month! The annual challenge is geared toward "wanna be" writers, and helps them get off the fence on to some creative writing. Participants log onto the site, begin writing November 1, and finish by November 30. The goal is to write a 50,000-word novel during that time. (That's about 175 pages.)
It's that time of year again. I can hear the fingers flying hectically across keyboards and the cacophony of pens scratching on paper. Oh yes, I know it's NaNoWriMo time.
Uncle Moriarty's Will
He slipped. The rain-soaked tile moved. With one hand clutching the window sill, he tried to trap it under his boot, but the angle of the roof made the thing too fast even for him. Half in, half out of the window, he held his breath as the clay tile smashed on the patio three floors below.
His heart hammered in his chest, a sure sign he'd let himself get rusty. He tuned it out along with the patter of rain and the rumbling bark of the dog chained out back. He cocked his ear and listened for any reaction in the house.
We're halfway through National Novel Writing Month with, hopefully, somewhere around 25,000 words already tucked under our literary belts. Now, normal people—you know, non-writers—might think that since you have already accomplished a huge goal and written 25,000 words in just 15 days that you would be on a leisurely downhill coast to the 50k finishing line. Not so. That's a lot of momentum pushing you forward, my fellow Wrimos, but beware the Ides of November.
As people everywhere are working away on writing a 50,000 word novel this month, we would like to draw your attention to all of the wonderful writing websites available in Web Resources. Aspiring writers will find several websites geared just for them.
Ahh, the sweet smell of success, I have 50,000 words with 9 days to go. Life is good. The number one goal, first and foremost, for NaNo is to write. The second goal is to write 50,000 words. The third goal, at least for me, is to actually complete my novel. Last weekend, I wrote out the ending of my novel. Then a few days later, I reached the pinnacle that is 50,000 words. After I settled down from my Snoopy Dance of Joy, I realized that my novel was not complete. So, I changed my goal this year to getting all the major plot points of m

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A baby boy delivered after his mother was fatally shot in Dayton last week has opened his eyes and is continuing to get better.
Christopher Foster's grandfather tells The Dayton Daily News that doctors are slowing bringing up the infant's body temperature. David Foster said Sunday that it's not clear how much brain function the child will have.
Police said 27-year-old Da'Lyne Foster was killed by gunfire during a disturbance Wednesday night. She was hit in the mid-section, and the baby was born later at a hospital by emergency cesarean section.
The mother was nine months pregnant scheduled to give birth the next day.

An astounding endorsement for Romeny
The Orlando Sentinel, central Florida's largest newspaper, endorsed Mitt Romney:
Other presidents have succeeded even with the other party controlling Capitol Hill. Democrat Bill Clinton presided over an economic boom and balanced the budget working with Republicans. Leaders find a way.
With Obama in charge, the federal government came perilously close to a default last year. Now it's lurching toward another crisis with the impending arrival of massive tax hikes and spending cuts on Jan. 1.
It is absolutely incredible how this editorial conveniently disregards the previously unimaginable levels of Republican obstructionism in both chambers of Congress. ("Democrats held strong majorities in the House and Senate during his first two years," it argues, ignoring the GOP's unprecedented use of the filibuster.)
And "leaders find a way"? Obama did indeed find a way — to, among other things, rescue GM, pass an economic stimulus bill, add millions of jobs, and reform healthcare, despite consistent and nearly complete Republican opposition.
It continues:
Romney is not our ideal candidate for president. We've been turned off by his appeals to social conservatives and immigration extremists.
Well, it's a good thing, then, that Romney's economic plan makes so much sense.
If he doesn't produce results — even with a hostile Senate — we'll be ready in 2016 to get behind someone else who will.
Yeah, what could go wrong in four years?
The Sentinel's endorsement of Romney isn't itself bothersome — newspapers are, of course, free to support any candidate they'd like. But the editorial makes no mention of how Romney would specifically help Florida residents, and its reasons for supporting Romney in general are disingenuous or misleading. It's disappointing to read.
So you want to log into WebCT?
People using the newest version of OS X, Mountain Lion, might see this warning after logging into WebCT:
This stems from a new feature called "Gatekeeper," meant to protect your computer from untrusted and possibly nefarious apps. But that doesn't matter – the main problem is that you can only seem to press the "Deny" button, since "Java will not allow any access to this applet." So how are you supposed to access WebCT?
Clicking on "Show Details" offers more information:
A certificate, in essence, is cryptographic file that verifies someone's or something's identity, and provides one of the most foundational elements of security on the Internet. With digital certificates, we know that facebook.com is really Facebook, not steal-your-facebook-info.com, and that your data is passing safely between your computer and Facebook — or in this case, that WebCT is really WebCT, not a malicious third-party.
In this case, the certificate exists, but expired over five months ago: this means, in theory, that the certificate could be invalid or stolen. They can expire by mistake, though, and Emerson is trustworthy, so it's probably safe to trust this certificate. It's not really obvious, but the only way to do this is to check "Always trust 'BlackboardInc.'"
After entering your computer's password and clicking "Allow" in the Java prompt, you may face another warning:
This browser is unsupported? But it's the latest version of Safari (6.0.1) on the latest version of OS X. Checking what browsers are supported identifies the issue:
The page hasn't been updated since the days of OS X 10.6 and Safari 4 – which were released more than three years ago, and are two versions outdated. I managed to track down a more recent version of the page, though:
The penultimate OS X release is at least mentioned, but every browser tested is "unsupported," or, according to the page's glossary, "either impossible or not tested." Since WebCT seems to work, it's probably the latter. The page also says that "Google Chrome is not supported" — which might make sense, if Chrome wasn't the most popular browser in the world.
Maybe some these problems stem from the fact that this version of WebCT was initially released in 2005 — the year President Bush started his second term, YouTube was founded, and Pope John Paul II died. At least it still works, though — if a little slowly.
A study in sensationalist science journalism
According to The Telegraph, a recent study showed couples that share their housework are more likely to divorce – a finding characterized by the writer as "a slap in the face for gender equality." A co-author of the study, Thomas Hansen, says that "the more a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate."
Yet midway through the article comes this paragraph:
But the deeper reasons for the higher divorce rate, he suggested, came from the values of "modern" couples rather than the chores they shared.
"In these modern couples, women also have a high level of education and a well-paid job, which makes them less dependent on their spouse financially," continues Hansen.
Another article admits:
Researchers found no, or very little, cause-and-effect. Rather, they saw in the correlation a sign of "modern" attitudes.
In other words, sharing housework is only correlated to higher divorce rates. Specifically, "modern" couples are both more likely to share housework, see marriage as less sacred, and have wives with more economic mobility – but it is probably only the last two factors that actually cause higher divorce rates.
It's the typical cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy – correlation does not imply causation. Unfortunately, sensationalist headlines, not logic and reason, often drive clicks to websites.

HOOVER, Ala. – Missouri is still seeking its first SEC win in football, but it figures to find faster success in its new league in basketball.
According to a preseason media survey, Missouri already is regarded as the third-best men's basketball team in the 14-member SEC — behind only Kentucky, which won the national championship last season, and Florida, which reached the Elite Eight. And Missouri might have the league's best player, junior point guard Phil Pressey, voted the SEC preseason player of the year by the same media panel.
The new teams on the block, Missouri and Texas A&M, were popular topics of conversation at the SEC's annual Basketball Media Day, held here Thursday.
"They're going to make us a bigger and deeper and better league," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "They're good programs, both of them."
Much of the discussion Thursday focused on Missouri, which was ranked among the nation's top five teams for much of last season and won its final Big 12 tournament before being upset (by Norfolk State) in its opening NCAA tournament game to finish 30-5. But it didn't escape mention that Texas A&M reached six consecutive NCAA tournaments before going 14-18 (4-14 Big 12) last season.
"I was in the Big Eight (as an assistant at Kansas State) when it became the Big 12, and growing up in Kansas, I was able to follow Missouri basketball most of my life," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. "They've got a great basketball tradition and a terrific program. And A&M has had a great last decade.
"So with these two programs in the SEC, I think what you have now is a league that is as competitive and as strong as anybody. We've won three of the last seven national championships, anyway; these teams only make our league stronger."
Frank Martin, Kansas State's coach the past five seasons and now South Carolina's, fully appreciates his new league's new teams.
"You're talking about two programs that have been NCAA tournament mainstays," Martin said.
Of last season's Missouri team, Martin said with a smile: "If they didn't play K-State, they might have been No. 1 in the country." Kansas State beat Missouri twice last season. South Carolina plays Missouri twice this season.
"Every time you play in Missouri's building, there are 16,000 people who want to throw you out," Martin said. "It's an unbelievable home-court advantage."
Missouri returns just one starter, Pressey, whom Florida coach Billy Donovan said "might be the best point guard in the country from what I have seen." Pressey averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 assists per game last season and "has really improved since then," Missouri coach Frank Haith said.
Senior guard Michael Dixon, the Tigers' sixth man last season and now a projected starter, is regarded highly enough to have been voted preseason second-team all-SEC. Overall, the Tigers figure to be bigger and deeper this season, thanks to the return of fifth-year senior forward Laurence Bowers, who missed last season with a torn ACL, and four talented transfers, who are available after sitting out last season. The test is how the new lineup blends together.
Texas A&M — predicted to finish ninth in the SEC, one spot behind Georgia — also will break in a largely new lineup. The Aggies' disappointing 2011-12 season included non-conference losses to two SEC teams.
"I recognized right away our athleticism wasn't what Florida and Mississippi State had," A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. "We struggled playing Florida in their up-tempo (style). I think they made nine 3's in the first half. It was eye-opening. We recognized we've got to get better guards and get more athletic. We did that, we think, in recruiting this past season. We need more."
Missouri's Haith also expressed respect for the transition to the SEC.
"This is a really good league. I think it's an underrated basketball league," Haith said. "We understand as coaches what kind of league we're going into."

Remarkable Disruptors
The world is changing faster than ever. Affecting every aspect of our lives. Business models and jobs that we couldn't have imagined ten years ago, are now the norm. Boundaries are blurring, everyone can play a role.
Much of the change is driven by technology. Disrupting conventions to allow us to live in new ways, try new things and make stuff more easily than ever before.
Young people understand this better than anyone, being the first generation to be younger than the internet. Many of these young people are driving the change, proving that if you're good enough you're old enough.
We challenge you to see the world through their lens. To see not just the future they are building, not just the new norms they are creating, but the now that they have already impacted.
Pay attention. Life is moving quicker than ever. With each blink our world shifts.
Make. It. Count.

The house was vacant and had major damage inside.
Anyone with information on the fire is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 419-255-1111.
South Toledo
A fire at a mobile home park in south Toledo is being called suspicious.

Physical and digital work best together
Integration has almost become a cliché in the world of direct marketing. At some point, a decade or so ago, direct marketers concluded the world had moved on so far that being DM alone was not enough. Hence the integrated agency serving the integrated needs of clients was born.
Though likely to lead to collective eye rolling, integration is key to successful direct marketing campaigns in a digital world. Those with a stake in the health of DM realise this. In launching media arm Market Reach earlier this year, Royal Mail's Antony Miller told Marketing Week, that all its DM would have a "route to digital", mail that points customers online, using QR codes for example, or that includes functions such as the digital watermarking.
This is both a crushing realisation of a new reality - digital channels are growing often at the expense of traditional media such as physical DM- and an appreciation of the fact that physical and digital can work incredibly well together.
This happy union was illustrated perfectly this week by the winner of the Direct Marketing Association's Grand Prix award winning campaign for scale manufacturer Kern & Sohn. I can do little justice to content intricacies of the OgilvyOne created campaign, except to say it involved scales, gnomes and gravity and attempted to demonstrate the "precision of Kern & Sohn precision scales" (see here for more details).
What is clear, however, is the returns were impressive. A single physical DM pack containing material that demanded a visit to said site to find out more led to an 11 per cent increase in sales and a 1,042% return on investment.
Creative, relevant and integrated. It might be a cliché but clichés are borne from reality. A leaflet, a catalogue or insert cannot be successful in a vacuum. Physical can be brought to life online in all kinds of ways unimagined not too long ago. Used in the right context, with imagination, the two channels in tandem offer extended opportunities for physical DM and marketers a chance to deliver enviable return on investment.
If you have an innovative DM campaign that's delivered laudable ROI there's another chance to gain the recognition you deserve via the Marketing Week Engage Awards 2013. There's a DM category and you can find out more about entering here.
Readers' comments (1)
Here here. One thing that resonated with me recently as that at Ogilvy we're looking to be Generalists and that is to bridge the gap between digital and traditional media. Agencies are growing up with divisions, the consumer doesn't care how your organisation is organised. So at Ogilvy for example, both poles are coming towards the centre to become generalists. Digital learning traditional and visa versa. This is more reflective of customer land and will pay dividends I'm sure. I have a similar program of change going on in my company too.

I finally started reading The Happiness Project on the plane before seeing its author Gretchen Rubin speak at the Mom 2.0 Summit conference this past weekend.
I'm only on Chapter 3, and already I'm implementing some of Gretchen's simple tips for happier living.
Oh, and guess what? I feel happier! I really do.
In initiating my New Year's Resolution to find joy in a more balanced life, I have to report that the small stuff matters (who said we shouldn't sweat it?), especially in the life of a busy mom.
Who knew getting dressed in an actual "outside the house" outfit every morning and clearing off a pile-collecting kitchen countertop every week could make me feel so good? And almost accomplished. Yes, accomplished! — without even pulling out the vacuum or toilet brush or running a marathon or remodeling my kitchen!
So it turns out Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun is right in line with my resolution too. Paying attention to small, even crazy obvious, solutions can make a lot of happiness. I swear!
At her keynote last week, Gretchen offered three take-away tips for happiness seekers, and they were as simple as they come:
Simple but at the same time genius! Think about how good you feel after getting a full night's sleep or decluttering a messy room or drawer. Think about the natural high you get from being engaged and excited and learning something new.
Heloise of the time-honored Hints From Heloise fame was there on the panel next to Gretchen too! Her take-away tips:
I don't know about you, but these are the kinds happiness tips I can actually apply in my life (well, still working on the sleep thing; have some work to do there since I currently believe sleep is a big waste of my precious time).
Check out my other post in which I apply Gretchen's closet-cleaning tips to our big closet (the morning after I returned home from hearing her speak!). It was awesome! And her chapter on Marriage also had me in tears and wanting to work harder in that regard.
Have you heard of The Happiness Project yet? Does the idea of seeking happiness scare you or thrill you (be honest)?
The Happiness project!? Who knew? Not me! Sign me up! I sure could use some! With stress, health issues. Being jobless, hopeless and Sad. This sounds Great! I love to send Love, Care, hugs, support to everyone. Including Sunshine, Fun & rainbows! I send Cheer and care! But I can't help myself! If there's such a thing. I'd be Thrilled!! I'd actually be Happy! How Great is that? Since happiness and laughter is contagious!! Best of Luck! I'm Happy I read this! Thank you for Sharing!!
I think I may have to order this book from Amazon!!! Sheri, thanks so much for sharing!!
Ok, now I REALLY want to read this book.
I am always looking for ways to get "Happy" and I do know that the small steps can sometimes leave the biggest impressions. I was about to start a project of my own on the "fibro sisters" group about de-clutteing your life. And I think this could also be a good addition for a read! Thank you!
I have had her website http://www.happiness-project.com/ on my desktop for months and months. When I have a few minutes I click it open and would love to get lost reading it start to finish. That is actually a goal I have set. I will have to pick up a copy of her book so I can carry it with me and create the time to enjoy it cover to cover.
I never heard of the book but I'll have to check it out. Sounds interesting.
I hadn't heard of it until now, but I'll be looking it up right away-lol- the only thing I'll have trouble with is getting 7-8 hours of sleep- I have four kids, one of which is still and infant, and I work from home, often late into the night to complete assignments- sleep is an elusive and rare found commodity for me! Thanks for posting this though I'm am interested in learning more!
I have not heard of the Happiness Project. Being truly happy and joyful thrills me. Being fake-plaster-on-a-smile-and-pretend happy not so much.
I too, have nevver hearf of it before but I think that it is an idea I am alreaday trying to impliment.
This is the first I'm hearing of it, but I have cleaned the "cluttered kitchen counter" and I, too, have felt "accomplished" afterwards =)
Got to get this book *nod*

LIFE With Sophia Loren: Rare and Classic Portraits of a Film Legend
More on LifeView Again
Powerful, enduring relationships can sometimes develop between a photographer and his or her subjects. Such was most definitely the case with LIFE's Alfred Eisenstaedt and the luminous Italian movie star Sophia Loren. Over the course of their decades-long friendship, Eisenstaedt would take countless pictures of the Oscar-winning legend — most of which never made it into the pages of LIFE magazine (and many of which were never intended for the magazine).
"Eisie must have shot thousands of pictures of me," Loren once told LIFE.com, fondly recalling her camera-toting "shadow." Here, LIFE.com presents a series of Eisenstaedt's finest portraits of Loren — many of which were not published in LIFE — made at the very height of her international fame.
Asked by LIFE.com about the qualities Eisenstaedt (with Loren, at left, in 1961) was able to bring out in her that other photographers missed, or simply failed to elicit, Loren considered, then said: "That I was a girl, joyful for her life, because she accepted anything that came with her work. Just being really, completely happy."
Loren appeared on LIFE's cover seven times through the 1950s and '60s.
"At that time," she said, "when LIFE magazine came out every week, it was something very important for a career — the best thing that could happen to an actress. It was something unbelievable. Everybody talked about it — a story in LIFE magazine, with a cover."
In the summer of 1964, Eisenstaedt visited Loren and her husband, Carlo Ponti, at the home Ponti had spent years restoring: an opulent, ancient, 50-room villa in Marino, Italy. Several of the pictures he made there are featured in this gallery. And although Loren loved the house — at the time of Eisentaedt's visit, she called living there "bliss" — it was sold around the time of Ponti's death, in 2007.
"This is something I don't like to live with — sad memories," she told LIFE.com. "Life gets very hard when you lose someone so important to you, and you don't need to be surrounded by the memories all the time, which are so strong and hit you in the most unexpected moments."
Asked if she ever tires of fame, Loren broke into a musical laugh.
"Are you kidding? I think it's wonderful. [Fans] smile at me like I was a member of their own family. It's a great feeling. In a sense, when I am at home I feel lonely because I miss my husband. But when I am outside, I have great big families around me all the time."

What really annoys NFL refs
The league and its officials may be close to a deal, but reportedly can't come to any resolution over a proposed switch from pensions to retirement plans that are less secure.
These guys get an average salary of $149,000 for part-time work, and most of them hold other jobs during the week. That's nothing compared with the $1.9 million average NFL player salary, but hey, it's a pretty nice haul.
That may be why salaries are not at the center of the dispute between the two sides. What's really bugging the refs are the league's proposed changes to their pension plans. "The key is the pension issue," the head of the NFL Referees Association told the Huffington Post. "A lot of our guys have made life-career decisions based on assuming that pension would be there."
This scenario has been hitting workers across America for decades. Companies have been very successful at moving employees from pension plans to 401ks and other plans that are cheaper and less secure.
Caterpillar (CAT), which made a record $4.9 billion profit last year, successfully pushed a pension freeze to many workers at its plant in Joliet, Ill., this year. Union members had been on strike for months, but in the end voted to give Caterpillar nearly everything it asked for.
General Motors (GM) moved 19,000 salaried workers to 401k plans this year and froze its traditional pension. IBM (IBM) froze its traditional pension plan years ago in favor of 401k's.
The public sector is seeing similar pension cuts. This week, the Los Angeles City Council gave the green light to a plan to roll back pension benefits for new workers.
About 70% of workers who do get retirement benefits only have a 401k option, writes Robert Hiltonsmith, a policy analyst for public policy group Demos. He adds that 401k's can be more expensive than the pooled-asset pension plans. They also give workers more responsibility -- and more risk -- in developing a retirement strategy.
One place where pensions have not disappeared? The National Football League, which has had a pension since 1959, reports Fox Business. Players get pension benefits for each season, and a player with five seasons between 1998 and 2011 would get $2,350 a month for life starting at age 55.
The league also has a 401k-type plan that matches as much as $2 for every $1 invested by the player. And players can also contribute to an annuity program after four seasons.
The league has contributed an average of $5.3 million a year to the referee pension plan over the last five years, reports Sports Illustrated. It would save about $3.3 million a year by moving refs over to a 401k-type plan.
The NFL and officials are negotiating, but by Wednesday afternoon the pension issue was still hanging. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said that most of America no longer gets defined-benefit pensions, and the league owners see no need to keep giving it to officials.
"From the owners' standpoint, right now they're funding a pension program that is a defined benefit program," Goodell told the Huffington Post. "About 10% of the country has that. Yours truly doesn't have that. It's something that doesn't really exist anymore and that I think is going away steadily."

What you and your 'occupy' buddies don't seem to get is that the $'s have to come from somewhere. You can't just print them like Bernanke & Co. so love to do. How's that QE3 been treating you the last 2 weeks? Are you surprised we're coming off our sugar high now?
So, hooray for the unions that create ridiculous entitlements and employee 'rights' that are far from rights. You don't like the working conditions, find another job... we're far from the days of work environments that necessitated workers to unite. The only reason workers unite now is to bend the employer over the barrel without producing anything worth compensation. Just drive to any government job site and you'll see a great example of complete inefficiency. Or, anywhere in Chicago...
Again, if you don't like the work environment, find another job (If that's a sticking point because there are no jobs, ask your Pres. where those shovel ready ones went???) If no one will work for the company due to poor working conditions, then the company goes under or changes. Natural selection at its best.... and if you suck at your job, you're NOT protected. Your **** gets fired. Bunch of whining cry babies that were never told NO as a child. You don't get a trophy for playing, you get one for competing and excelling!
Actually, I believe that the NFL should make the following change: make pass interference REVIEWABLE! That's it.
Now, if you watch NFL football, you know the following: to make a catch, you must do (at least) the following: 1. Make the catch and secure the ball with your hands. 2. Have both feet hit the ground. 3. (Perhaps, not sure if it still applies but doesn't matter) Make some kind of a "football move," whatever that means. (Doesn't matter if you are a reveiver or a DB.)
So, the catch by the Seahawk player WAS legit, even if you don't like it. Why? The receiver grabbed the ball before the DB hit the ground, and so you have a tie, which goes to the receiver. However, there was obviously an offensive pass interference that should have been called that would have negated the catch.
Game over. But not the way you thought it was. . . .
Come on, they are making about 150k a year and im sure that they get travel
and lodging paid for. The season is 16 wks plus preseason that isnt bad wages
and yet its not enough. In my opinion they should be given the boot if no contract
is worked out by mid season. Make them reapply for their jobs and in the mean
time the replacement ref's will only get better and up to speed as familiarity with
the different rules increases. As for the replacement ref's if that time limit comes
to pass they have the option of full time employment..
Looks like some Part-time help wants a slam dunk....Just gimmee,gimmee my pension, and I don't want to have to make any decisions on my own, or how to invest in my future...
Sweet Geezus...guess I should have finished and became a Ref...
Real job $50-70,000 per year, reffing $149K per year and gimmee,gimmee two pensions,plus SS.

A group of British teens hang out in their school library, discussing Skittles as a lunch choice, worrying about which university they'll attend in the fall, talking about the music they're listening to. But "Punk Rock," playwright Simon Stephens's portrait of teen angst, takes a disturbing and violent turn, and this Zeitgeist Stage Company production captures all the terror and incomprehension that go with it.
The seven individuals onstage represent a range of typical teens: There's Cissy (Alexandra Marie Harrington), the overachiever who's devastated by a B in English; Bennett (James Fay), her bullying boyfriend; Nicholas (Diego Buscaglia), the handsome jock; Tanya (Alana Osborn-Lief), the sensitive one; Chadwick (Alex Levy), the intellectual loner; Lilly (Emily White), the new girl; and the overeager and overimaginative William (Phil Gillen). None of them could be described as perfectly "normal," but as William says, "I hate normal." The most dangerous one in this bunch seems to be Chadwick, who, the group fears, may finally snap from Bennett's relentless abuse.

Eco Wrapping Fun
It's spring and thus the birthday party season has officially begun in our house.
Instead of using store bought gift wrap, I wrapped today's party gift in vintage sewing pattern instructions and a salvaged piece of ribbon. Inside is a fashion themed gift so it is a perfect match.
You can pick up old sewing patterns at thrift shops for a steal. I have a stack that I found in a box lying by the side of a road with other treasures.

How we can start any business with empty pockets?
As a young man of all most 30, and having little success with earnings and transforming my ideas into reality. When you are not supported by any investor as well. I have red so many biographies of successful people. But failed to understand when they say "we started with empty pockets".
Purpose behind starting this discussion is to get more help, that how i can improve myself with your experiences and ideas. I will really appreciate!
Topics: Planning for Success achievement

Jul 15 2012: Some businesses can be started with little or no money because the founder possesses rare skills and expertise that could be traded directly without some lengthy process; some businesses start with meeting dire needs of the society, and money would flow to such as soon as the people have the awareness.
However, not all businesses can start like these aforementioned instances. Some are very capital-intensive right from the beginning stage; and with such, people may think twice before investing.
It is important for the aspiring entrepreneur to have an indepth knowledge and critical analysis of the kind of business that is about to be born, and what is required to start and sustain it.
Sometimes its just a team of talented and passionate people that are needed; sometimes its the talent,passion and some money.
Matthew 7:7 says 'Seek and you shall find'
it doesn't say that what you are looking for is under your pillow, or under the root of some giant tree, or in the depths of the ocean. The most important thing for a business-minded individual is to know what is being sought, and to find it diligently.
Jul 15 2012: Indeed Mr. Anjorin, But don't you think the guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs (Late) they started when the things were much easier around them! And now things are very difficult, We are going through recessions, the economies are collapsing (i.e Greece, Spain). I have my personal experience that even if you have some Ideas companies want you to sell ideas to them. Because they don't want competition any more!
Jul 16 2012: Mr Ikram, This is a bit of a defeatist attitude. How do you know that things were not "hard" for Gates and Jobs?
You have a special something....a special skill and you want it to go out into the world. Then find the people that are smarter than you and tell them your story.
Keep telling your story until someone listens.
Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken heard "No" almost 1000x's before someone said....hmmm this chicken is good, people will buy this.
Tell your story, someone will listen. There are 100's of broke people with a dream holed up in apts/houses together in Palo Alto waiting for that moment to tell their story to a waiting Venture Capitalist.
Tell your story.
Jul 16 2012: Thank you very much for giving in your thoughts!! Its not the defeatist attitude, its the environment around today created by the 1%. Why i said that the time was easy for the Gates and Jobs back then, they had less competitive environment and cost of the goods were way too less than today. You could buy many things with one dollar at that time than now! I have told my story and innovative ideas to the companies who could provide me the sources, i mean the money! But they want no competition, they want you to sell your ideas to them. And that is the reason the wealth has just shifted to only afew people in the world, and they want to occupy your dreams to make them more money! And far that financial institutions are concerned, They just want to double the money given out in the loans and it takes hell a lot of time for the one to pay back loans with higher interest rates.
So it wasn't that hard for them to start anything! I have already asked similar questions to the world bank president, after his speech and a few company heads when they share their experiences! They just tell us to do this, do that, but hardly give us any space to move in our own pipe line!! And back then they had all the time in the world to do anything they wanted. For example, iPhone was came out from a company who was already an established group. Nokia, Samsung etc Establishing your brand today with out any sources is a giant task, also when these establishments are already in action. Do you think if you tell your story to KFC now with the same as they do, with more innovations, to ask for help, will they help you to set up something of your own? I don't think so! :) anyways, I really appreciate your words though!
Jul 16 2012: Dear Ikram:
I think you should read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell it will not let you to start a business without money but tell you that how some of the successful people of the world face hard ships and what did they do to be successful in the world. There is also a 10 thousand hours theory of the author which might be helpful for you.
And please do not say that the Bill and Steve started when the things were easier and now the circumstances are difficult. Why our forefathers were not too much successful like them because they were born and died as Kentucky was??
Jul 16 2012: Mr Hussain, Thank you for your thoughts! I know all the fundamental philosophies to be a successful entrepreneur! Can you tell me just one thinig, How many companies have established in past two decades?... The numbers are so staggering and this is actually what i am talking about!! Why all (in the family) have to work today for the survival, back then our forefathers easily managed all this! Isn't it?...

We started our Countdown to Peachtree Road Race series with Good Day Atlanta's Carolyn Ryan just five weeks ago, and here we are now with only a couple of days to go before the big race.You've been with Carolyn every step of the way as she trained for the Road Race. Now, after weeks of hard work, she explains why this week's focus isn't on what you do with your body, but what you put in your body.Weeks of running, conditioning, and stretching to get ready for the Road Race are now turning to two of Carolyn's favorite past times: eating and sleeping. Be sure to also fuel your body with protein, carbohydrates, lots of fruits and vegetables; in addition to a lot of time for rest and recovery.Atlanta trainer Mary Elizabeth Hogenmuller, of Buckhead's Forza di Vita studio, took Ryan shopping this week. The goal: Stock up on all of the right foods to fuel Carolyn's body for the week of the race.Mary said, "Make sure when you do your shopping you stay along the perimeters. That's where you'll find all your fresh fruits, veggies, a little bit of meats and your dairies. When you start getting into the aisles, this is when you start getting into a lot of the highly processed foods, which aren't so good for your body to metabolize.We start in the produce department to stock up on fruit. Mary said, "One of the very first things I migrate to being an athlete is going to be bananas."When you're exerting energy during your endurance sports, you're losing a lot of potassium through your muscles. It's a great way to replenish your potassium.Next stop: The Greens.Mary said, "I always talk about feeding the body from a cellular level out, so you really want to provide it with some nice clean fuel."Kale is a superfood and a staple for Carolyn this week leading up to the Road Race.Mary said, "Kale is going to provide you with lots of iron."Next: Carbohydrates. Mary said, "We think of carbs as bread, rice, pasta, but potatoes are something you don't typically think about; but, they're much healthier. Proteins are a must.Mary said, "Over here in this section, I would go for the Simple Truth organic-free range chicken. This would be an excellent lean protein source."As you continue through the store to stock up on nutritious food this week, remember to read labels. Sodium and sugar should be kept to a minimum. Avoid alcohol and sugary sodas. Also, opt for lots of water. Lastly, it's time to rest up.Mary said, "That not only means eight hours of sleep a night as a minimum, but also it means that you're not gonna want to go out for a 10-mile run or a 5-mile run the day before."Good luck with your final week preparations and Carolyn will see you at the finish line!

On Sunday, at the Cards Against Humanity panel at PAX Prime, the hosts brought up a number of guests in order to pay tribute to our friend Ryan Davis. My buddy Eric Pope shared with the audience and the people watching the live stream the above audio, which I now share with you.
Ryan loved Comedy Bang Bang, and particularly loved the character Bob Ducca. I asked Seth Morris to make something as Bob Ducca that I could share with Ryan's friends and coworkers. Seth didn't know Ryan, and he didn't have to do this. But he did, because Seth is awesome.
It's a small thing, really. I was watching the live stream on Sunday, and got to hear people laugh. And that made me feel good. I'm glad a lot of people will hear this, because I think it's really funny.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Some students at Ferris High School are braving the elements again this year.
It's part of a project called "Freezin' for a Reason." Students hope to collect food donations for those in need.
It's an annual tradition at Ferris. Each year students want to bring awareness to Spokane's homeless population and those in need. For three nights, they endure the cold temperatures in hopes of collecting canned goods.
One challenge facing the students this year is the construction at the school, which forced them to change their strategy and their location. The campsite has moved from the corner of 37th and Regal to the school's parking lot.
Students say they put up a lot more signs this year along Regal, directing people to the parking log. They also had to block off some parking spots to make their camp a bit more visible.
As for the temperatures, the students say it has been a bit chilly, but are thankful there is no snow on the ground. Windy conditions yesterday made for a rough first night, but these students are committed to collecting food for those in need.
Anyone who wants to make a donation can drop off non-perishable items in the bin outside the school.
The last day for donations is Friday.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: CELG PNRA SWY SIRI WYNN SWKS
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Tuesday:
Shares of Celgene (CELG) are going "much higher" because the company has a bunch of new drugs coming, Cramer said.
He also remains bullish on Panera Bread (PNRA), calling the restaurant chain one people really like eating at.In the bear camp, Cramer said Whole Foods (WFM) is taking share from Safeway (SWY), which continues to see its business decline. He was also cautious on Sirius XM Radio (SIRI), saying investors should not chase this stock. When asked about Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Cramer said that when the Chinese start spending again, this stock will climb again. Finally, Cramer said Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) has become a battleground, but he remains a buyer of the semiconductor maker. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.
