I gave it to my girl friend as a present and she loved it.
I own a number of these stretch stone-chip bracelets from Overstock.com, and assumed this would be of the same quality. Wrong! The peridot chips are *tiny*, and in fact the whole bracelet is small-- it's not very wide, and the diameter is tiny. I have small hands and it barely stretches over my hand to get to my wrist. Average-to-large-hands would snap the elastic. My other Overstock.com stretch bracelets have substantial stones, a generous width, and a comfortable-size diameter. This one's a loser-- do yourself a favor and stay away. One more thing: this is apparently a "worldstock" item, unlike the others-- so it took weeks to arrive. The delayed arrival time is mentioned on the web page, but buried at the bottom. That's poor customer service, Overstock!
Bought it as gift for my mother along with the matching earrings. She loved the set! i would suggest the set since it matches so well. Although they are all sold separately. She thought the bracelet looks very fashionable. Only drawback was that it took 15 business days to arrive.
I bought this, as a gift, for Christmas and she loved it! She wore it right away and kept telling me how much she loved it.
This bracelet is beautiful! It is not as shiny in person as the photo depicts, however it is still a gorgeous peice of art. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with its own little cloth-covered jewelry box, some background information on the artist, and how she came about making bracelets.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- So what does the fiscal cliff deal mean for you?
A local financial expert broke down the impact for the average American.
The good news is a recession was avoided, but everyone will notice a difference in their pay. Basically your check will shrink by about two percent.
Mark Lamkin with Lamkin Wealth Management says it means someone making $30,000 a year will lose $50 a month. Someone making $100,000 a year will lose $200 per month.
This begins immediately, so you'll likely notice it on the next paycheck.
Another positive under this new deal: unemployment benefits will be extended for a year.
Last week we noticed the stock markets reacting to the lack of a deal and today stocks rallied following news of an agreement.
Lamkin says you should still be smart with investing.
"It is what we call a relief rally," Lamkin said. "People are relieved that we've got the first step done, but you are still going to have volatility this year. This is not a time to go all in with your 401K or with your investments. This did not fix things overnight, but it certainly did set the stage for good markets. You shouldn't pull everything out and go to cash right now."
Lamkin says it's best to take a balanced approach with your current investments until the markets are more stable.
This is just the beginning of what may be a year of long negotiations, as Congress still has to tackle the debt ceiling and the budget.

The Annual Meeting of the Boards on October 9 welcomed new Board members into the fold and recognized existing leadership for their efforts over the past fiscal year. President and CEO Kevin Tabb, M.D., gave a keynote speech about BIDMC's extraordinary response to the tragic events at this year's Boston Marathon, and three exceptional early-career researchers — Mark Andermann, PhD, Zoltan Arany, MD, PhD, and Daniel Leffler, MD, — were honored with the inaugural Dvorak Young Investigator Awards. The event was also an opportunity to welcome Daniel Jick as the new chair of the Board of Directors, and the evening was capped off with a wonderful celebration of his predecessor, Stephen Kay, to recognize him for his three years of service in the role and his longstanding leadership. For photos from the event, take a look at our photo gallery. Photography by Theresa Johnson Herlihy.
On May 21, BIDMC's Cardiovascular Advisory Committee welcomed 85 guests to the Four Seasons Hotel Boston for the educational breakfast, Changing Rhythms, where attendees learned more about the most challenging and prevalent heart conditions of our time. Chaired by Jack Manning, member of the Board of Directors, the program featured presentations by a number of leading faculty from the renowned Harvard-Thorndike Arrhythmia Institute at BIDMC, which is led by Mark Josephson, M.D., chief of cardiovascular medicine. The event also provided another opportunity to honor Josephson, who recently received the prestigious Paul Dudley White Award from the American Heart Association, for all his contributions to the field of electrophysiology. BIDMC is currently trying to raise funds for a chair in Josephson's name. For photos from the event, take a look at our photo gallery. Photography by Theresa Johnson Herlihy.
On Thursday, April 4, the BIDMC Board of Overseers presented Rethinking the Brain: Applying new concepts in neuroscience to prevent disease and improve health. This exciting hands-on event focused on a relatively new concept in neuroscience that turns the long-held belief that the adult human brain is hard-wired and unchangeable on its head. Through interactive exhibits and informative discussions, attendees learned about our leading-edge advances that do not simply mask the symptoms of neurological disease, injury, or aging, but actually change the brain and alter its long-term function. For photos from the event, take a look at our photo gallery. Photography by Theresa Johnson Herlihy.
BIDMC's annual celebration, which took place on January 31 at The Breakers, showcased leading physicians and researchers from its Cancer Center and several patients who have benefited from their lifesaving efforts. The evening led off with the announcement that Leon V. and Marilyn L. Rosenberg Family Foundation has pledged $10.5 million to create the Leon V. and Marilyn L. Rosenberg Clinical Cancer Center at BIDMC and enable the medical center to make substantive investments to co-locate cancer services, enhance patient and family programs, and advance its cancer vaccine research initiative. The program culminated in a heartwarming tribute to Thelma Linsey, a longstanding supporter of BIDMC's breast cancer program, who chaired the event. For photos from the event, take a look at our photo gallery. Photography by Lucien Capehart Photography, Inc.
Glee star Mike O'Malley emceed a fundraiser for BIDMC's BreastCare Center at the home of Rachel and Andy Spellman. Rachel's father, Michael Wertheimer, M.D., is the Center's director. For photos from the event, take a look at our photo gallery. Photography by Theresa Johnson Herlihy.
Celebration of Life is a full day of celebration, education, and kinship for the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) cancer community to raise awareness about the battle against cancer. This poignant event also welcomes men and women who receive their care from other hospitals in and around Boston-and beyond.

All those laudatory reviews are right on the mark. A handsome, fast moving production. Simon Russell Beale with his rapid-fire delivery demands close attention of his audience, and Essie Davis is truly poignant as his beleaguered wife. The 'jumpers' are a beautifully coordinated group of gymnasts, and the musical trio of keyboard, drums and bass are marvelous.

One of the contestants in the current season is previous Top Chef winner Latifa Ichou, whose challenge was to serve up a 3-course French dinner at La Brasserie to a restaurant full of guests. On the night that we visit, the Latifa's menu was open to the public for $80 pp and since we had visited La Brasserie in the past, we knew they served up classic French cuisine and couldn't wait to see what Latifa could spin up with the local chefs.

Indium prices are rallying higher even as other metals in the minor metal complex continue to soften, market participants said.
"The low-price stuff seems to have disappeared," one producer source said.
According to buyers and sellers of the minor metal, most trades are currently in the $460- to $480-per-kilogram range, although some sources pegged prices as low as $440 per kg and as high as $510 per kg.

9. Bonwit Teller
Boston's chicest shop for 40 years. In 1989 Louis took over its Berkeley Street digs.
8. Bradlees
Its suburban locations ironically pioneered department-store-killing shopping centers.
7. Raymond's
Got its start selling the hats of a store destroyed by the Great Fire of 1872; went bankrupt a century later.
6. C. F. Hovey & Co.
Sold out to Jordan Marsh in the '40s after descendants of the owners founded Fidelity.
5. Kennedy's
The store is gone, but the façade remains part of the 101 Arch Street office tower.
4. Gilchrist's
Closed in December 1976, but its macaroons still evoke Proustian memories.
3. Sears, Roebuck
Now the Landmark Center, this iconic outpost of the chain was so busy it had its own post office.
2. Jordan Marsh
We miss the Enchanted Village the most. (Thanks for saving it, Jordan's Furniture.)

But when Minogue is discovered murdered on a Chicago pier, Margaret asks P.I. Paul Whelan to look into it. As Whelan makes his rounds to the dilapidated apartment buildings and smoky bars of Chicago, he discovers that, before his death, Minogue often talked of his old gang of close friends, which mysteriously broke apart after World War II.
Their stories take Whelan through the abandon ruins of Riverview Park, once Chicago's most famous amusement park and the site of a 40-year-old unsolved murder. Now, Whelan must sift through the past to find a killer who stalks the present and Minogue's old friends, who still carefully conceal a dark secret that binds them together.
Unravel another Chicago mystery with Paul Whelan.
©1997 Michael Raleigh; (P)2005 Books in Motion
"What makes this riveting private-eye yarn work is a mixture of superior Chicago atmosphere...great dialogue; and compassionately drawn characters." (Booklist)
"A Series I am really fond of!"
This is a great series, I like the characters and the depiction of the places and landscape and the entire melding of the whole mix. Some books you like for the action, or the place they take you to, or the time period. This book takes you into the community and makes you feel like you have new friends. There is a great whodunit factor in the storyline and the end is held close and a surprise yet withing the grasp of the evidence collected and available to the reader. You like the main character, and the cast of supporting actors around him, as flawed as they all are they are all still on the right side of things. I am very happy to recommend this book and look forward to continuing with the series.

Members' price *
The accompanying title to the British Museum exhibition Shunga: sex and pleasure in Japanese art, 3 October 2013 – 5 January 2014. We are pleased to offer this title at the special Museum price of £40.00 (RRP £50.00).
About Shunga
In early modern Japan, thousands of sexually explicit paintings, prints, and illustrated books with texts were produced. These were euphemistically called 'spring pictures' (shunga).
Frequently tender, funny and beautiful, shunga were mostly done within the popular art school known as 'pictures of the floating world' (ukiyo-e), by celebrated artists such as Utamaro and Hokusai.
Shunga is in some ways a unique phenomenon in pre-modern world culture, in terms of the quantity, the quality and the nature of the art that was produced.
About this title
This hardback catalogue, published to accompany a major international exhibition, aims to answer some key questions about what is shunga and why it was produced. In particular the social and cultural contexts for sex art in Japan are explored.
Erotic Japanese art was heavily suppressed in Japan from the 1870s onwards as part of a process of cultural 'modernisation' that imported many contemporary western moral values. Only in the last twenty years or so has it been possible to publish unexpurgated examples in Japan and this landmark book places erotic Japanese art in its historical and cultural context for the first time.
Drawing on the latest scholarship and featuring over 400 images of works from major public and private collections, this important book looks at painted and printed erotic images produced in Japan during the Edo period (1600–1868) and early Meiji era (1868–1912). These are related to the wider contexts of literature, theatre, the culture of the pleasure quarters, and urban consumerism; and interpreted in terms of their sensuality, reverence, humour and parody.

The thermometer is hovering just a few ticks above freezing, and an icy rain has turned last night's snowfall into a blanket of slush on the roads and sidewalks. Not the most inviting conditions for a run, are they? Given the alternative of finding another indoor activity like racquetball or crocheting, perhaps it's time to consider buying a treadmill.
You won't be alone. According to the National Sporting Goods Association, treadmills were the largest segment of fitness equipment purchased during the past decade, by runners of all abilities who use them for a wide range of purposes. And treadmills aren't just for fair weather fitness joggers, either. Chris Clark, a pathologist and mother of two from Anchorage, AK, gave added legitimacy to the devices when she won the 2000 Women's Olympic Trials Marathon following a winter training diet of almost nothing but mill workouts.
Just like shoes, treadmills come in a bewildering array of prices and feature sets, and like shoes, the mill you purchase should be based on personal considerations of your running style and goals. Rather than examine and review individual machines, we'll provide a guide for making your own choice, noting some basic features to look for in evaluating different mills. We'll also detail the experiences of three different levels of treadmill runner, whose insights may help you in making your final decision. Finally, we'll provide a list of some of the major manufacturers of treadmills, so you can read about their products before you begin the physical task of trying them out in person.
THE BASICS There are essentially three places to buy a treadmill: a fitness equipment store, chain stores, or on the Internet. The first two provide an opportunity to test run a machine, which is important, as "feel" can be just as important in making a choice as printed features and specs. Specialty fitness stores may also offer the advantage of more experienced sales people and such services as delivery, set up and maintenance.
If you are shopping in a store, be sure to take a five or ten minute run on a treadmill before buying it. Like running shoes, you have to do more than just try them on and walk around the store.
Check out the firmness of the mill's deck (Is it too hard or bouncy?), the ease of operation (Are the controls easy to read and operate?), and the mechanical aspects (Does the belt run smoothly, is the motor going to make you deaf after six months?). Be sure to ask questions, as a mill is likely to be the biggest purchase you make in a sport that is otherwise relatively inexpensive. In short, get a "feel" for the treadmill, just as you would for a pair of shoes.

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
I now respond directly to Dembski's analysis of "Darwinism" and how BioLogos differs from the view he critiques.

Study: 1 Out Of 7 MNPS Students Has Access To High Quality Education
by Aundrea Cline-Thomas
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A vast majority students in Metro Schools don't have access to a high quality education. That's according to a new report commissioned by the Tennessee Charter School Center.
Time is ticking for thousands of Metro families to enter the lottery process to attend a school outside of their designated zone.
"My older daughter Sydney, she's in the 4th grade and she's very smart," parent LaTissa Hall said. "So I want her to go to one of the magnet schools because I want her to be challenged."
For some like Hall the process is about finding the best fit for her child, others want better quality. Kirsten Hall's daughter is looking for a change of pace for high school, after spending the last three years being home schooled.
"I think the whole public school system lacks in some quality," she said.
When it comes to options, the Tennessee Charter School Center (TCSC) says 14 percent of students are receiving a high quality education, while the report finds 43 percent are receiving a low quality education.
"We have 80,000 students…in our school district and only 12,000 of them are high quality seats," TCSC Chief Operating Officer Justin Testerman said. "And that's just not acceptable."
TCSC used Metro's own data to generate this new report and broke down the statistics by neighborhood.
"You can see that there are a number of areas in the city that have a critical shortage of access to high quality seats," Testerman pointed out while pointing to the Whites Creek cluster on the map.
"In every school there are high performing seats and there are low performing seats," Alan Coverstone with Metro's Office of Innovation said. "I'm talking about every school regardless of public, private or otherwise."
Earlier this year Metro used the same data to establish its own set goals that included increasing quality across the district.
"We think we have real work to do to improve the quality overall and we're committed to it," Coverstone said about how the district is addressing the problem. "We're trying to be as aggressive as possible. We think that charters and traditional schools both play a role in that."
While the Charter School Center wants to remove recent restrictions that limit where new charters locate, they acknowledge that's not the only solution.
"We don't think charter schools are the only answer," Testerman said. "We want to continue to partner with the district to try to create solutions that are going to give access to high quality seats."
Increasing quality comes at a cost during a time when Metro working with limited resources. Part of the concern surrounds the expansion of charter schools.
However, the Charter School Center recommends that Metro continue to fund what's working and take money away failing programs, which include low performing charter schools.

At 4:45 p.m. on March 25, 2011, hundreds of bells rang across cities and towns in the United States to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. The fire, which killed 146 garment workers — 129 of them women — managed to get the New York State Legislature to create the Factory Investigative Commission, which eventually made way for better labor laws.
It has been a century since that fire that woke up the United States to labor and worker safety reforms. But nothing has changed in another part of the world — where many US companies are currently manufacturing their products. On Nov. 24, 2012, 112 garment workers were killed in a blaze at the Tazreen Fashions factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Just two months earlier, on Sept. 5, 25 workers at a fireworks factory in Sivakasi, India, were killed under similar circumstances; a week later, a total of 283 workers died in two separate fires in Pakistan — 258 in a garment factory in Karachi, and 25 in a shoe factory in Lahore. Two years ago, 29 people were killed in a similar fire in Dhaka, Bangladesh, while manufacturing Gap products. In each of the cases, the fires were followed by a blame game over responsibility and liability. Interestingly, only the fire in Bangladesh has made international headlines because the factory was used by one of the suppliers of Walmart.

How To Fake a Summer Tan with Nail Polish
As much as we love nail art, we're better at admiring designs than coming up with them ourselves. That's why we've enlisted Anna Norman, the smarty pants behind Glitter, She Wrote, to be a regular contributor. Every so often, she'll be sharing her latest lacquer inspiration—you won't be satisfied with plain ol' polish again.
My fair skin prefers to freckle instead of tan, and my foundation is almost always named 'Ivory,' but I still crave at least a bit of a summer glow. I don't love self tanner, but I do love faking a tan with carefully selected nail polish. Nail polish to look tan, you ask? Yes, this pale girl promises it actually does work.
When looking for nail polish that will give you the appearance of bronzed skin, contrast is key. You don't need to wear bright white polish (though I'm crazy about Deborah Lippmann's Amazing Grace), but creamy white-heavy polish is what you're aiming for. Icy blues, pale pinks, perky corals, and bright lavenders all fit the bill. When paired with your skin (no matter how dark or fair), your skin tone will instantly look warmer and deeper, like you've been in the sun all day…instead of inside painting your nails.
This summer, I'm loving the creamy pastels from JULEP, especially the shades Mimi, Liz, Teri, and Sally, which I'm wearing in the above photo. On short, rounded nails (or toenails), these bright pastels really pop against my complexion. The pale pistachio RGB Dew is also high on my list.
Pale nail polish can be just as tricky to apply as dark colors since your mistakes can be really obvious. Avoid lines and streaks by applying polish in thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before moving on. When you're done painting your nails, dip a small eyeliner brush or pointed Q-tip in nail polish remover and sweep it along your cuticle line to remove any excess polish from your skin for a crisp, professional look. Finally, keep your cuticles and hands soft and moisturized with your favorite hand cream or oil.
What's your favorite polish to accentuate (or fake) sun-kissed skin?
Still all about a bright white polish? Look no further, we've rounded up some of the most flattering and opaque whites around.

Our customers
We value customer opinion and regularly consult with our customers in order to ascertain perceptions and opinions of the service we provide. The following extracts outline what BrightHouse means to them:
Mary - BrightHouse customer for 5 years
"BrightHouse have a great range of products and offer them at competitive prices. It's a really great service and they've always been really helpful to me; so much so, I have recommended them to about 12 friends!"
Catherine - BrightHouse customer for 7 years
"I shop at BrightHouse for convenience as it has everything I need in one place, and they make it really easy to pay for the latest things that come out! Other shops just seem to make it so much more difficult to buy things on credit.
"I was recommended to BrightHouse by a family friend who had been a satisfied customer for quite a few years. The service I receive in store has always been really helpful and friendly."
Jean - BrightHouse customer for 4 years
"I've been a regular customer for the past 4 years. My local BrightHouse is conveniently located near all the other shops I visit each week. The product range is brilliant and so is the service in store. The staff know me by first name and I often have a coffee and a catch-up in-store too.
"I heard about BrightHouse through friends. Quite a few of them use BrightHouse and I don't know where we'd be without them! I am going to buy another TV for my son's bedroom. I have quite a few agreements with BrightHouse, I'm very happy."
Maria - BrightHouse customer for 3 years
"I first found out about BrightHouse when I walked past it in the shopping centre. I needed a new TV, they had the one that I liked and it was available at an affordable price. Since the TV I have gone back to buy a TV stand, a DVD / TV combi, dishwasher, 2 phones, 2 laptops, a fridge/freezer, music centre and a new suite!
"I think products are reasonably priced. The store staff are very helpful, easy to speak to and go out of their way to help me with any problems I have."
Ian - BrightHouse customer for 1 year
"I was really excited when I discovered BrightHouse last year; they had all the latest things I wanted for my house and were much more flexible about the credit than other shops in town. After finding them, I had the latest LCD TV set up in my front room within 3 weeks, just in time for the Champions League final!
"I pop in each week to pay off what I owe, but as well as a chat with the staff it gives me a chance to check out the latest deals. I'm definitely a satisfied customer; I even recommended BrightHouse to my mum!"

Narrow your search
This is the daily tech show to beat all others.
The Monster Beatbox may not deliver the most refined sonics, but if you're looking for big, aggressive sound from a small box, this is the one you want.
The Beats by Dr. Dre Executive noise-canceling headphones have an appealing design, strong features, and good sound, but they don't quite measure up to the Bose QuietComfort 15 noise-canceling headphones.
Bona fide $100 audiophile headphones are rare, but the Noontec Zoros' remarkably clear and balanced sound will wow the cognoscenti.
Beats Music's extensive playlists and spot-on recommendations mean you'll never have to hunt for music.
Pricing not available
These Solo 2 may not win audiophile hearts and ears, but for its intended audience -- namely, folks who are looking for a fast, exciting headphone with lots of high-quality bass -- this is an excellent on-ear headphone.
Though big for a Fiat model, the 2014 Fiat 500L is still small for a wagon or crossover that boasts so much interior volume. However, limited tech and performance have us reconsidering the competition.
Apple is after more than just headphones in its rumoured multibillion-dollar acquisition of Beats, according to a report suggesting Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine might join the tech giant.
With two Beats Pills and a cameo by Siri, the spot spoofs a celebration by Dr. Dre. Then it disappears from the Twitter feed of Beats By Dre.
In a two-part interview, Apple's CEO expounds on the company's past, present and what lies ahead.
They may not be a bargain at $300, but the new Beats Studio headphones are lighter and better-built, and sound significantly better than the original Beats Studio model.

Q:Actually, I have a question about how to be more clingy, or well more in tune with my feelings. I'm constantly told that I'm not very expressive in my emotions, and they're always wondering how I feel. How do I become better at this sort of thing?
This advice is coming from a girl that has yet to tell her boyfriend, "I love you", but here goes.
I find that it can be incredibly hard to express my feelings aloud. That's probably why I have 3 or 4 different blogs, two journals, and a ton of letters that Hilo and I sent back and forth to do it for me.
If you also have trouble with verbalizing how you feel, take some "me" time and do some introspection. Ask yourself simple questions that will lead to ones that might be tougher to determine the answer to.
Here's a personal example that I've since overcome:
Do I feel positively or negatively about Hilo watching porn?
Do I dislike porn?
Do I care if he masturbates?
What part of him watching porn do I dislike?
It makes him feel good sexually to watch other girls that I feel are more attractive than I am.
Do I think Hilo will attempt to get in contact with these girls (am I jealous)?
Do I think that these girls are better than me because they indirectly make Hilo feel good?
Through this series of questions, I came to the conclusion that I'm actually fine with Hilo watching porn, but I have problems that are a direct result of my own self-esteem VS women I consider attractive that I have to actively fight against.
The thing I needed to express, thankfully, was very black and white, and I know that probably isn't the case with yours, but it's worth exploring why you feel a certain way, and also why you feel reluctant to express it (afraid to seem vulnerable/too invested too quickly). Finally, you might think about why the person who's encouraging you to express yourself wants to hear about how you feel. Are you seeming closed off and distant or are they wanting you to confess your love so they can reveal their own feelings?
Also, having a face helps.
How to keep a relationship.
Communicate: Talk about things, the good and bad. Build trusts. Be honest. Be faithful. Be there for one another. Make time for one another. Leave the past to the past, which include ex's. Know that having arguments are normal. Know that you won't always be happy. Don't expect change. Appreciate the flaws. Appreciate each other. Become best friends. Lastly, love each other unconditionally.
Real talk.

Minimum Requirements?
Since the wind has the caught the sails of this blog once more, I've gotten the awesome opportunity to follow a lot of amazing couples that are in the same exact situation we were once in. Bravo to you brave souls who are putting yourselves out there and risking it all for love!
On the other hand, I've also come across many bitter and self-pitying posts about what's considered an LDR, and how another person in an LDR/relationship is judged (by these common standards: distance apart, time apart, age, etc.), then told how they're allowed to feel.
It goes without saying that everyone's situation is different, and the definition of a "Long Distance Relationship" might not even remotely resemble what you or I consider it to be.
For instance, I come across posts like this very frequently:
You don't really know what a long distance relationship is until you experience it for at least 6 months.
I'm jealous of my friends just because they see their boyfriends every day… They will never really appreciate what they have.
I would like for everyone to take a step back and realize that these type of thoughts are 1) Not conducive to your own perception of your long distance relationship (ie: You are not a "martyr" for love/projection of negative feelings away from the source — your relationship), 2) Cold and rude towards someone who's probably feeling just as shitty as you are about not seeing their partner, and 3) Ostracizing yourself from someone you could very easily make a friend with based on the mutual feelings of loneliness and heartache.
All it takes is a touch of compassion, and you could have someone who's more understanding than your real life friends who may be harsh and judgmental of your long distance relationship ("What's the point?", "How do you even know they're real/who they say they are?", etc.). And spoiler: no one is going to willingly RSVP to your Pity Party.
Envy is one thing, but don't let it turn into bitterness and disregard for others. It will ruin your relationship faster than it ruins theirs if you continue to sink into this unhealthy mindset.
With Your Best Interests in Mind,
Boyfriend and I really, really want to do this. He had been looking at sites where couples just dropped everything for 3 weeks or more and traveled in their 4Runners across Mexico and the States.
I think we've both got a lot of pent up wanderlust, and even his parents are telling him to move to China or Taiwan for a year because it'll be an experience that he'll grow from.
Boyfriend is still looking for a job in the gaming industry, which is leading him to apply (or think about applying) for places in Seattle and NorCal. I think this is where our age difference shows its face. He's 27 and rightfully pursuing his career, and his financial success, and both of those things will bring him happiness and hopefully a sense of peace.
He thinks if he moves to Seattle or NorCal that we'd visit each other every weekend, or every month and have a long-distance relationship until… what exactly? I move up there? He moves down here? We break up?
It's a 100% chance of us not being together for who knows how long, and I'm not okay with that.
This is not how things are going to pan out, and here's why:
Although I have my own career-related goals, and desire for financial stability and independence… I'm pursuing him. It's a weird situation where I don't want to hold him back by saying, "If you move there, I'm moving with you," because he'll think that I'm giving up on a good job in a great company to be with him (therefore crippling myself, from his point of view). But I'm 22 and I've been told I have a lot of pluck and courage. I'm not sure if that's true, but I know that I wouldn't be in California if it weren't for him. I didn't move everything out here to get a sweet job and enjoy the weather.
I moved out here only for him, and things have just gotten better from there. I'm not going to give that up now and go back to Skype calls and empty blankets and with nothing to look forward to when I get home from work. I want to see him succeed, not hear about it secondhand. The whole reason why we're together is so we can take these crazy leaps hand-in-hand instead of alone.
Sorry, Boyfriend, but that's just how it's going to be. We're in this together.

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her

50 Keyword SEO PackageRead More...
80 Keyword SEO PackageRead More...
I suppose the simplest definition would be the usage of the internet and its tools to engage consumers with online advertising. Customers uses devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets (an ipad for example) and even game consoles can all be used in order to take part in digital marketing. With uses of platforms such as email campaigns, faxing, blogging, RSS feeds, videos (or video streaming), podcasts, banner advertising, voice broadcasts, text and instant messaging, you can see that digital marketing has an assortment of weapons you can use in order to attack your chosen market and help your business and businesses such as a web design company. Two weapons in specific are a bit more complicated, but extremely important: read this article about understanding what search engine optimization can do for you to answer questions you may have.
If you're interested in understanding how consumers find your business online, you need to understand search engines. Take for instance, your business is a website design firm. The major search engines - Google, Bing and Yahoo have search results where website/web pages and other content (videos for example) are displayed and ranked based on what these particular search engines considers most relevant to those that are using the search engines to find your firm or advertising agencies. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of getting traffic to your website/web pages from organic or editorial listings on these search engines. Typing in a phrase such as "advertising agencies" or "search engine optimization" can help you find these agencies in order of ranking according to the search engine optimization.
Keeping with the example theme, we'll explore what you should and shouldn't do in order to gain higher rankings. Unfortunately, there are no particular SEO factors which can guarantee higher search engine rankings. Having a great HTML title can't help your website if your site has low quality content available just as having an assortment of links won't help if they are low quality also.
There are two factors you need to consider when trying to get your page rankings up on search engines: On The Page and off the page factors. On the page factors are search ranking factors that are completely within the publisher's control. Off The Page factor rankings cannot directly be controlled by the publisher. Controlling the type of content you publish and the HTML clues which help search engines determine your rankings and determine whether your website's architecture hurts or helps your result rankings.
Take for instance, a SEO company (or an individual that offers SEO services) who wants to help an advertising agency gain higher rankings on Google's search engine. Although search engines want you to perform well in rankings, there are certain techniques and uses that they consider spam (or black hat) acts which if deemed, can result in your web pages getting penalized or being banned from search engines.
Being blocking is a different ranking signal where the search engine users themselves may decide they don't like particular pages on a web site even if the site doesn't necessarily violate any of the traditional spam rules. It's impact on what users see also impacts what every user sees as well. Each of these factors shown are weighted on a one (1) to three (3) scale. Three (3) is considered the most important, having the bigger impact than the others and is something that you should pay more pay attention to, though this doesn't mean lower ranking factors aren't important when, for example you're searching for SEO.
Based on what each particular search engine is looking for, weighting has various opinions. But the weighting opinions are not perfect. The factors which determine blocking and violations have negative numbering weighting system with negative three (-3) being the worst of them.
PPC is an internet strategy used in order to drive traffic to your website where an advertiser pays the website owner (or publisher of the website) a fee whenever someone clicks on the ad available on their webpage. PPC advertisements are usually displayed on web pages and/or search engine result pages with content that relates to agreed upon ads.
PPC marketing can be effective, but you must have strategy objectives for your campaign otherwise, you may end up going nowhere with your efforts. By aligning your campaign with established benchmarks, you inspire your campaign to reach a larger reach of objectives and performance that can help your business make money.
Here are a few tips that can help you with utilizing PPC effectively.
Goals are important and in the case of a PPC campaign, they need to be attainable and realistic. Platforms used for companies like social media marketing area companies will need a specific set of goals verses other areas that don't use keywords.
Setting short-term goals for your PPC campaign can help establish benchmarks for big accounts and is a great idea. Whether these goals are weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, having a focus for your campaign, helps.
You may also want to try focusing your goals reasonably. If you have a goal of 1000 new keywords added to your account that may not be the best course of action because you want more focus on output rather than input. A better course of action should state that in a particular month, you will increase your sales by a set percentage and decrease your CPA by a certain percentage. Adding keywords to your account is important, but again: "Output over input."
Understanding Internet technology and digital marketing is critical for reaching new audiences in the digital age. Advertising agency area businesses and similar businesses have made the transition into the digital marketing age. Whether or not you're ready to enter into digital marketing, understanding the platforms such as social media, email campaigns, SEO and search engines, PPR and online advertising is critical to making sure your business is a success.
