From Paula's Best Dishes/Deen Family Cookbook
Servings: 2 to 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1 large clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper (seeded if desired)
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 ounces chorizo, casings removed, diced
Vegetable oil
4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, plus more for serving, optional
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans, optional
4 eggs
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced, for garnish
3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled queso fresco or grated Monterey Jack, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
In a food processor, combine the tomatoes (with juices), onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; puree until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small skillet and simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo until browned. Add to the sauce and cover again.
Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the fat in the large skillet. Place a tortilla in the skillet and cook until light golden but not crisp, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more. Transfer to an individual plate. Cook the remaining tortillas, adding a bit more oil to the pan, if necessary.
Heat the refried beans (if using) in a large skillet. Spread the beans on the tortillas.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Working in batches, crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until the bottoms are set and the edges golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until set, about 1 minute more. Place one egg on each tortilla and spoon the warm sauce over the eggs. Sprinkle with the avocado, cheese, and additional cilantro. Top with a dollop of sour cream.

I'd forgotten how much I love Ice Warriors.
More Doctors should have had an Ice Warrior story. Shame there was that mess up during Colin's run, so we never got his story with them.
Other thought: Man, I love that new coat Matt Smith is wearing now!
Not deep thoughts, I will admit, but I'm too much in fanboy mode for any in-depth reviews.

BRYAN COUNTY, OK -- A man is dead after being hit by a car near Durant while walking in the highway.
It happened just on the north edge of Durant city limits. That's where troopers say a man darted out into traffic in the dark with deadly consequences.
It was dark when the man was struck near the exit for Armstrong. "There was a bunch of cars just swerving and we were trying to figure out what was going on and we thought that someone had hit a deer and come to find out it's a body laying in the middle of the road," says witness Jay Richardson.
Richardson lives off Highway 69/75 by the same exit, and he stopped to help out. "We pulled over towards him to stop traffic and then he got out and called 9-1-1," says witness Ashley Richardson.
"When you see a puddle of blood that big, then you're pretty sure he's dead," says Jay Richardson.
Friends say the man, who did not have a car, was apparently starting an hour walk to a store at the next exit south when he was hit around 7:30 p.m. on Friday night in the northbound lanes.
"As he had run out into the road, he struck the passenger side of her vehicle which caused him to fall down in the roadway, and a second vehicle came along and hit him also," says OHP Trooper James Reinecker.
"He was supposed to be going to the store to get a pack of cigarettes and his girlfriend said that he could have been drinking that day," says Jay Richardson.
Troopers say they are still looking for one out of the two cars they believe struck the man. Witnesses told KTEN that cars were swerving around his body, which was lying in the road.
"Everybody was just going around him and no one was stopping," says Jay Richardson.
"He was like right in the middle," says Ashley Richardson.
Troopers spoke with the stunned driver Ricki Braziell, 19, of Caddo. Meantime, the couple who called 9-1-1 went home to visit their friend and neighbor of about eight months.
"When we come home I actually came over to check on this guy and he wasn't here," says Jay Richardson.
"He has a tendency to drink and walk around and when we figured out he wasn't here, that's when we figured it might be him, yeah, and his girlfriend described the clothes he was wearing," says Ashley Richardson. "I think of my kids, you know I just don't want to ever see anything like that again."
The man has now been identified as Ronald Dale Hunter, 54, with an address in Odessa, Texas. His body was taken to the state Medical Examiner's office in Oklahoma City. The investigation continues.

Millwall decision expected
Filed: Wednesday, 13th January 2010
By: Staff Writer
West Ham United should learn their fate with regards to the Millwall affair later today.
The Hammers spent three days last week defending their position at an FA hearing, set up to investigate scenes of crowd disorder at the Carling Cup tie between the two local rivals earlier this season.
West Ham are defending four charges - namely:
1. Failure to ensure their supporters refrained from violent, threatening, obscene and provocative behaviour.
2. Failure to ensure their supporters refrained from racist behaviour.
3. Failure to ensure their supporters didnt throw missiles, harmful or dangerous objects onto the pitch.
4. Failure to ensure their supporters didnt enter the field of play.
Should the club be found guilty on any of the above a fine and possible temporary ground closure could follow.

We talk about the dangers of drunk driving all the time. But what if we told driving with very little sleep -- sometimes called drowsy driving -- can be just as dangerous as drunk driving.
But you don't have to fall asleep at the wheel in order to put yours and others lives in danger. It's called
micro-sleeping, which can happen with your eyes open, and it's just as dangerous.
We conducted an experiment to give you a glimpse of just how difficult it is to fight off sleep.
You're behind the wheel. You're tired, but you're almost there. You close your eyes for what feels like just a second, but when you open them…
November 9, 2011, on the I-10 near Chandler, a milk tanker rear-ended a fuel tanker sending thick black smoke into the air. The freeway was shut down for hours.
According to DPS, the driver of the milk tanker, a 55-year-old Mesa man, had been on the road for a very long time. Investigators suspect his lack of sleep slowed his reaction time. He died.
DPS cited drowsy driving as the cause of this accident that killed him.
AAA estimates drowsy driving is to blame for one out of every 6 deadly traffic accidents. The Center for Disease Control says one in every 24 drivers admits to falling asleep at the wheel at least once in the previous month.
So we decided to conduct an experiment -- an experiment that required me to stay up all night. And right from the start it's obvious I'm tired.
So to do this experiment I stayed up for 24 hours. I haven't had any caffeine at all. We're going to show you exactly what drowsy driving looks like.
We hit the track at Arizona Motorsports Park, so we're in a safe environment for driving. My two brave passengers are Gerald Fougner, a technical supervisor at the Valley Sleep Center, and photographer Joe Keating. Both admitted they're nervous to get in the car with me.
I feel really out of it, like my brain doesn't work, trying to think is hard.
Who could blame them. Fougner hooked my brain up to a computer. He connected wires to my forehead to the top of my head and the back of my head so he can monitor my brainwaves while I drove.
Even getting the key into the ignition was a bit of a challenge. So we get started.
In the beginning, you can see my brain waves are strong. Notice the dark color and the height of them.
But the longer I drive, the more they change. And the harder it is to keep my eyes open.
"We could tell you were drowsy. We asked you to go that speed of 20 miles per hour. I could feel the times when the gas would go in and out and then the curves would come up and you weren't as focused," says Fougner.
After about 20 minutes of driving, yawning, constant yawning, I just can't seem to stop. You can see my brain waves become smaller and smaller. My eyelids heavier and heavier.
And eventually I'm aware I nodded off a few times during this 40-some minute car ride. But Fougner, who was in the backseat monitoring and taking notes, says I actually nodded off several times.
He refers to it as micro-sleeping, and it can happen while your eyes are still open.
"We're looking for a smaller pattern, as you actually fall asleep there are distinct sleep patterns we look for. In this particular case we didn't let you get that deep into sleep for our safety of course."
We took a closer look at the data.
"See little groups of micro sleep and sometimes that will progress into a full period of sleep."
Each micro sleeping episode I had lasted approximately 2 seconds apiece. Two seconds might not seem like a lot, but to give you a better picture of what it looks like distance-wise.
Three seconds at 75 miles an hour means the entire distance of a football field including end zones.
Being asleep for just a few seconds means driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.
Fougner points out -- besides being asleep -- there were also moments I was awake but driving with my eyes shut for as long as 10 to15 seconds at a time.
So you can imagine the consequences if we had been out on the road on the freeway. What's scary is it didn't take long at all to run into people who admit to some level of drowsy driving.
"You think you can control the urge but if your brain wants to sleep it will sleep, so the moment you actually feel yourself have heavy eyelids and you think oh I can fight this you most likely cannot," says Lauri Leadley, founder of Valley Sleep Center.
"If you're the type of person who has four hours of sleep Monday through Friday and then you try to make that up Saturday and Sunday that's not going to happen… You are putting your body at risk and others at risk."
You might be thinking what about caffeine, downing an energy drink or some coffee. Well experts say that can only provide a temporary fix.
If you're really tired there's only so much you do to fight it. DPS says it is a very real problem here in Arizona -- and that drowsy driving is something they're seeing more and more often.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Out of the Blue
Brooke Shields' Struggle With Postpartum Depression, from WebMD the Magazine
By Denise Mann
From WebMD the Magazine: Brooke Shields seemingly has it all -- happy marriage, celebrated beauty, critical applause, world fame. Yet, after her child was born, she fought the "mother lode" of emotional battles: a crippling bout with postpartum depression.
After giving birth two years ago, actress/model/icon Brooke Shields was not singing lullabies in the pleasing voice that has earned her rave reviews on Broadway. Nor was she learning how to swaddle her newborn girl, Rowan Francis, named for her late father, Francis Shields. Instead, suffering from postpartum depression, she found herself staring out of the window of her fourth floor Manhattan apartment, contemplating putting an end to it all.
"I really didn't want to live anymore," she admits frankly. She says that, during this time, simply seeing a window was enough to prompt her to think, "'I just want to leap out of my life,' but then the rational side of me [would say], 'You're only on the fourth floor. You'll get broken to bits and then you will be even worse.'"
From the outside looking in, the 38-year-old former Calvin Klein model has everything -- happy family, career spanning decades -- but for Shields, the painful struggle to get pregnant and the ensuing slide into postpartum depression after her labor and delivery marks the most tumultuous time in her life.
Princeton-educated and seemingly savvy about all sorts of things, she still never knew that feelings of shame, secrecy, helplessness, and despair -- the classic signs of postpartum depression -- may affect as many as one in 10 new mothers within six months of delivery, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. More incapacitating than the "baby blues," postpartum depression is marked by severe sadness or emptiness, withdrawal from family and friends, a strong sense of failure, and even thoughts of suicide. These emotions can begin two or three weeks after birth and can last up to a year or longer if untreated.
Blue Lagoon
For the six-foot natural beauty, the troubling signs of postpartum depression began almost immediately after she gave birth to her now almost 2-year-old daughter on May 15, 2003. Her husband, television writer-producer Chris Henchy, whom she married in 2001 after her tabloid-fodder split from tennis star Andre Agassi, was supportive if also terribly concerned for his wife and his baby.
"Chris would say, 'Oh, my God, she's crying,' and I would respond, 'Yeah, baby. She's crying. I wonder what she wants?'" she recalls. "It was like this weird alien overtook my body and every appropriate response was answered with the antithesis of what you would assume."
Today, Rowan can cry a mile away and Shields boasts that she can tell whether her daughter is angry, hungry, scared, sad or just looking for the family's 7-year-old American bulldog, Darla. "That's the instinct stuff that you hear about and expect to have on day one," she says.
She claims that she had no mother's intuition at all.
Friends and family were quick to dismiss her sorrow and disinterest as a case of the "baby blues" that would disappear with some much-needed rest. But her sadness escalated rapidly into postpartum depression. Shields found herself crying more than Rowan did, and she says she suffered a mini-breakdown on her first post-pregnancy job interview to do a commercial for Bright Beginnings infant formula. She was plagued by feelings of self-doubt and self-harm. And if thoughts of suicide weren't frightening enough, Shields also suffered disturbing visions of seeing her daughter flying through the air, hitting a wall and then sliding down it, although, she is quick to clarify, she was never the one throwing her.
The words "postpartum depression" didn't mean much to her at first, but they finally hit home when a virtual stranger told her about the guilt, shame, and reclusiveness that were connected to postpartum depression -- the same symptoms she had struggled with since the baby was born.
Model Candidate
Exactly which mothers will develop postpartum depression is not fully understood, but risk factors do exist. In Shields' case, these risk factors may have been red flags. They can include a complicated or difficult labor. Rowan was delivered via an emergency C-section with an umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. In addition, Shields' uterus herniated during the surgery, and she lost a lot of blood. Her doctors even considered performing a hysterectomy (the removal of a woman's uterus) if the bleeding did not stop. Fortunately, it did and her uterus was successfully repaired.

Search and obtain online verification of nonprofit and other types of organizations that hold state tax exemption from:
- Sales and Use Tax
- Franchise Tax
- Hotel Occupancy Tax
Statewide group organizations might have one listing with "All Branches" as the city, rather than a separate listing for each local chapter. Search by:
- Taxpayer Number OR
- Organization Name/City/County
Information is updated nightly to provide you with as accurate information as possible, but if you are unable to find a listing for an organization that you believe is exempt, you may call or write us at the number or email address below.

Metropolitan Books
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Noam Chomsky's book Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy. The United States has repeatedly asserted its right to intervene militarily against "failed states" around the globe. In this much-anticipated sequel to his international bestseller Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky turns the tables, charging the United States with being a "failed state," and therefore a danger to its own people and the world.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is reminding motorists that tomorrow, Wednesday, September 8, 2010, it will change the traffic pattern on Willard Avenue, close to the R.I. hospitals complex in Providence. By the afternoon commute, Willard Avenue from Eddy Street to Plain Street will be converted from a two-way street to a one-way street westbound.
The traffic pattern change is being done as part of the Iway project and comes in advance of the opening of Exit 1B from I-195 West. This ramp will meet Eddy Street at Willard Avenue. Changing Willard Avenue to a one-way traffic pattern heading away from Eddy Street will ease congestion in this area and avoid traffic conflicts with off-ramp traffic. Motorists should note that nearby Borinquen Street is two-way only to Culver Street and does not provide access to Eddy Street.
RIDOT is scheduled to open Exit 1B next week. The current schedule calls for overnight construction to complete the work necessary to open the ramp to traffic for the following morning commute. All schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change.
RIDOT is working with Lifespan to inform the hospital community of these changes. Additional signage, including electronic message boards, will be used to notify hospital employees and patients.
Motorists with questions can contact RIDOTs Customer Service office at 401-222-2450 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additional information will be available on RIDOTs website (www.dot.ri.gov) and its social media sites on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Blogger.

HEADING: 104-degrees
DISTANCE TO CAPE HORN: 3,600 miles
What a difference a day or two can make. After what was reputedly one of the most violent beginnings to a Volvo leg start ever, we're now preoccupied with sunburns, slatting sails, and an abundance of renewed energy with nothing to direct it towards. Life is almost too easy. It's warm, it's dry, nobody's yelling over wind and waves, and we're hardly moving anywhere at all.
Groupama lies no more than a mile upwind, Telefonica a mile or two to leeward and ahead, and Sanya has snuck up in the rear view mirror while continuing to narrow the gap with every hour. The four of us are stuck here for the time being while CAMPER deals with similar winds 20 miles away, and Abu Dhabi struggles to rejoin the fleet 400-some-odd-miles back.
We're all waiting for the same thing, and that's a lane of passage through the high-pressure ridge that has swallowed us whole. The first boat through gets to turn east and start the fast downwind trip towards the ice gate(s), but there's no guarantee any of us will make it. There's a decent chance this front will pass us by and we'll have to track north for the next one coming off of New Zealand's coast.
Regardless of how the winds treat us in the coming days, it's been nice relaxing in the sun for a little and these unusually temperate conditions have given us a chance to catch our breath, but it begs the question: would you rather be screaming towards the Cape, uncomfortable, clothed to the brim, and unhappy, or would you rather be where we are now — drifting around in tee's, telling jokes, and working on our tans? The answer is an obvious one… We'd all want to be tearing along, white knuckled, fast and furious, devouring the miles while saying we hate every second of it. I've been warned, to be careful what you wish for!

Shogun Assassin Blu-Ray Boxset (Blu-Ray)
The complete Shogun Assassin saga, 5 blood-drenched installments of memorable mayhem that inspired a generation of film-makers, is now available at a price-per-pint (of blood) that just can't be beat! Includes a brand-new audio commentary on the original Shogun Assassin film, a new interview with dubbing maestro Scott Houle, and a 26-page liner notes booklet.
When we set out to release Shogun Assassin, we knew that the currently available materials would not be up to AnimEigo's typical obsessive quality standards. But as everyone knows, Shogun Assassin was created by re-editing the first two Lone Wolf & Cub films, and when we released those films, we got fresh prints off the original master prints, and did new digital video transfers.
So, being almost as crazy as most of the characters in the movie, we came up with a devious plan. We ripped the film off a bootleg DVD and used it as a guide to reconstruct the movie using our pristine masters of the original two films. We literally laid the new video on top of the old, precisely recreating every edit. With the exception of about 2 seconds of stock footage of some castles that we were not able to obtain, every frame has been restored using uncompressed 24p (video-geek jargon for "really good") source materials. Even better, the film is now presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic!

Inside Wall Street: Amgen is the biotech to buy
Leadership changes at one of the world's largest and most underappreciated biotechs bode well for investors.
A pivotal event -- change in the company's leadership -- should entice investors to pick up shares now. The changes, which will occur by mid-2012, include chief executive Kevin Sharer's retirement on May 23. He will be succeeded by chief operating officer Robert Bradway. And the head of research and development , Roger Perlmutter, will retire on Feb. 12, to be replaced by chief medical officer Sean Harper.
The big shakeup isn't a surprise to Wall Street, but it's definitely a most welcome move. That's because no matter how successfully the company has arduously navigated the intricate pathways of the complicated industry all these years to become one of the world's largest biotech companies, Amgen has needed new leadership, according to analysts who know the enterprise well. Stiff competition in the drug industry and the constant need for new and better products have necessitated the changes at the top to secure fresh energy for new visionary leadership. Amgen is one of the handful of biotechs posting profits.
"We view the changes positively as we see Amgen as being in need of new leadership after several years of moderating results from legacy drugs, and earnings increasingly being supported by share buybacks," says Steven Silver, a drug analyst at Standard & Poor's. The changes didn't come as a surprise, because of the long tenure at Amgen of both Bradway and Harper, he adds. Bradway was added to the board earlier in 2011, which signaled his potential as the successor to Sharer.
The changes should in all likelihood renew attention to Amgen's long-term drug pipeline and its cheap valuation even as the leadership changes have driven its stock higher. It has jumped just a whisker below its 52-week high of $63.85 a share, closing at $63.69 on Dec. 23, up from $58 on Dec. 16, when the changes were announced. But some analysts have a 12-month price target ranging from $69 to $79.
Amgen's core product lineup can be described as mature products, but they include the world's five best-selling biotech drugs, including Epogen, a genetically engineered hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in bone marrow, which generated total sales of $2.5 billion in 2010, and Neupogen, which stimulates production of white blood cells in cancer patients to prevent bacterial infection. Neupogen, along with another Amgen drug, Neulasta, also a white blood cell stimulant, produced sales of $4.84 billion last year.
The huge cash flow being generated by Amgen's legacy drugs are sufficient to support dividends and share repurchases, says S&P analyst Silver, as well as the funding of R&D investments and acquisitions, such as the purchase in early 2011 of cancer vaccine maker BioVex. He adds that his buy recommendation on Amgen reflects his view that the recent rollout of Prolia, a drug for post-menopausal osteoporosis, and Xgeva, a treatment for skeletal-related issues in solid tumor cancer patients, will greatly enhance the stock's value.
Prolia has other applications as well. In Europe, the drug was approved last year for the treatment of prostate cancer patients with bone loss due to hormone ablation. The company has applied with the FDA to approve the same use in the U.S. According to Silver, the FDA is expected to act on the application sometime in April 2012.
Amgen's pipeline of new drug candidates is promising: Its AMG 386 for ovarian cancer and AMG 479 for pancreatic cancer are both in phase 3 clinical studies, as well as Oncovex, a drug for the treatment of melanoma and head-and-neck cancer. Amgen continues to collaborate or partner with big pharmaceutical companies to expand its reach. In December 2011, it signed a global agreement with Watson Pharmaceutical to develop and market oncology antibody drugs.
Michael J. Yee, analyst at RBC Capital Markets, concedes that Wall Street has low expectations from Amgen's stock, but he says the bull case is that it "remains reasonably cheap," in part because the company is likely to forecast earnings for 2012 that are higher than consensus estimates. He also expects it to increase its dividend payments and continue share buybacks that he expects will amount to some $1 billion worth of stock in 2012. Amgen currently pays a dividend yield of 1.9%.
Rating the stock as outperform, he has a 12-month price target of $72 a share. Yee figures Amgen will earn $5.29 a share on revenues of $15.4 billion in 2011, and $5.94 in 2012 on sales of $15.9 billion. For 2013, Yee expects earnings of $6.40 a share on revenues of $16.4 billion.
True, Amgen isn't among the top choices on Wall Street's list of favored drug stocks, but that's precisely one of the major reasons why the rewards will be much higher for this under-appreciated stock.
Gene Marcial wrote the column "Inside Wall Street" for Business Week for 28 years and now writes for MSN Money's Top Stocks. He also wrote the book "Seven Commandments of Stock Investing," published by FT Press.
Okay...so this is hugely important and the basis for investing in Amgen now...but you make no mention as to WHY the new leadership is more qualified/superior to old leadership?
The only comments relate to everyone being ready for "new" leadership...which makes this article a joke.
The reason the new leadership is more qualified than and superior to the old leadership is because ANY change is going to result in better leadership than Kevin Sharer, et al.
I used to consult for Amgen and my wife used to be an employee. Kevin Sharer literally ran this company into the ground with his unwise risk taking; this, of course, was in addition to his multiple "personnel" scandals. He is morally bankrupt.
It still amazes me how he ever convinced Gordon Binder (Amgen CEO before Sharer) to make him CEO-in-waiting during Gordon's last days at Amgen before retiring. He totally ruined the culture at Amgen; it was once one of the best places to work, but no more.

Established by Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program (also known as the 1605(b) Program) encourages corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, households, and other private and public entities to submit annual reports of their greenhouse gas emissions, emission reductions, and sequestration activities. The Program provides a means for voluntary reporting that is complete, reliable, and consistent.
In February 2002, the President directed the Department of Energy, together with other involved Federal agencies, to recommend reforms to enhance the Voluntary Reporting Program. Following extensive public review, the Program's guidelines underwent an extensive overhaul with the focus of reporting shifting away from individual projects to emphasize entity-wide emissions inventories and emission reductions. For more information on revisions to the Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program, please Contact the 1605b Program.
The revised 1605(b) Program is now collecting Start Year Reports, and will collect Reporting Year Reports under the revised guidelines for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 reporting years in 2010.

One of our readers is a little upset with her man after he introduced her as a friend to someone. They have not been dating that long and there actually has not been a talk of exclusivity. So why would she get mad at the friend title? I will give you one little guess. Here's a hint: It starts with s and ends in expectations. Sexpectations!
No, it's not a real word but it is a real emotion. It is what happens when a woman sleeps with a guy without a clearly defined relationship. Sex is added to the mix and suddenly she demands girlfriend status. At the very least, she does not want to be introduced as a FRIEND.
Do you think it is necessary to have a title in dating? What do you do when you have not reached the stage of dating where things are ready to be defined?
Do you think our reader should mention how disappointed she was to her guy? Is that the way the exclusive topic should come up?
Do you think it is silly to call one another boyfriend/girlfriend after a certain age?

GOOD Wednesday Morning MIA!!!
Do you think it is necessary to have a title in dating? Absolutely! I believe it's important & necessary for everyone to KNOW exactly where they stand. IMO it cuts down on miscommunication & misunderstandings.
In terms of the reader, can she really say that he is HER guy? He may not be seeing her exclusively, so she shouldn't assume that he isn't dating other women. She may very well be just his friend. Which brings me back to stating your intentions and expectations and standards up front. Women should stop being so quick to give up the cookie in hopes that it will solidify the relationship, don't play yourself!!!
What we're not gonna do is make things complicated that are really simple, you're either in a COMMITTED relationship OR you're NOT.

I'm talking, asking, making certain, and not doing jack until we're crystal clear and on the same page. Until we know….the both of us. Folks loooooove to act like "what?"…..nuh uh. I'm not playing when it comes to my body and my heart. Both are sacred to me.
Y'all know how these cats do. Don't let yourself get caught up and some dude spring the "dubbudodobaddubba dat's all folks" on you……lololol Frankly, all of us are adults and you shouldn't have to do all that mess of making certain, but sometimes folks wanna play….lol

I've put a lot of thought into this and I think I just may have come up with a solution. Follow me here because this gets very complicated: If you want to know how the person you're dating feels about ANYTHING, simply ask.
Instead of saying "This is my friend Shaniqua", one could say "This is Shaniqua".

Good Morning!
The young lady is tying a title to her coochie…Look coochie is not exclusive but u are. Be grown and talk about topics that are important to you. The problem is not that she gave it up to fast,the problem is she did not define who she is to the young man.
Even if is the same day, tell the other person having sex means this to me…This will go along way in having an understanding with the other person…
June 5th, 2013
8:58 am
Good morning, Do you think it is necessary to have a title in dating? Yes to avoid any and all confusion.
What do you do when you have not reached the stage of dating where things are ready to be defined? continue dating until you both have reached the point where you are ready to become exclusive. Also, keep your options open.
Do you think our reader should mention how disappointed she was to her guy? No, he's clear of where she stands in his life. If he says you're a friend then you're a friend nothing more.
Is that the way the exclusive topic should come up? No, it should be brought up after her emotions are in a better place. Right now she's hot about him introducing her as a friend when she thought they were more. It's obvious they are not on the same level. But there are so many things missing. How long have they been dating? Did she tell him what she was looking for in a relationship, whether it's long term or just for fun without any expectations? Obviously she didn't bc if she did then she wouldn't be hurt right now. and to add she's bedding him isn't helping.
Do you think it is silly to call one another boyfriend/girlfriend after a certain age? I think it's silly but it's standard and what we call each other. I perfer SO myself if you're beyond the age of 30 and if you're not engaged.

good morning.
I'm not a fan of titles in relationships (or in general). you know who/what you are whether or not you know what to call it.
moni – re she may very well just be his friend. and she may very well not. she could just be a place keeper. he likes her well enough, they cool and all but let's not get it twisted. friend can be a strong word with real meaning and friend can be a catch all word used simply for convenience. lol.

disco- you say you're not a fan of tittles so does that mean you never use it? How do you introduce the guy you're dating/in a relationship with?
June 5th, 2013
9:34 am
Morning All!
I agree with just saying "this is___" and leave it at that. Again, this is why communication is so important. It appears obvious that they are not on one accord as far as the "relationship" stands. That is also the issue with getting intimate with someone too quickly. If you equate intimacy with being in an exclusive relationship, then you need to make that known up front. That way you are each free to make your own decisions regarding where the relationship is and is going.
Do you think it is silly to call one another boyfriend/girlfriend after a certain age?
I don't know that I would say silly, but it does sound funny referring to a forty-something year old as boyfriend or girlfriend. At that age, the title is a bit awkward.- partner? significant other? lady friend? Btw- "my man" also sounds funny coming from a grown woman.
June 5th, 2013
9:36 am
Disco let me handle that one
Disco: Button this is Joe
Button, is Joe your boyfriend
Disco: you need to mind you own bizness
June 5th, 2013
9:37 am
button – I'm more of a "none of your business" kind of girl. I provide information on a need to know basis. quite frankly I've been in situations where I've run into folks and held a whole conversation WITHOUT bothering to introduce people. of course, this is a case by case kind of thing but everything ain't for everybody and everything ain't for everybody to know. sometimes you can see it's killing folks not to be introduced (why? because they are nosey and can't wait to go back and run that they saw you!!!). some folks get bold and go to introduce themselves. I nip that in the bud too. lol.
June 5th, 2013
9:37 am
single – my man. lol.
June 5th, 2013
9:39 am
She must be very young, because I just don't see why she should be upset. If anything, be upset with herself for not making things clear before she smashed dude. She's obviously has not reached a point of self-awareness. I learned rather early that I catch feelings when I go there with a man. Now that is MY standard. His may not be that. The only thing I could do is make it clear that before we went there, I had to get to know him a little better. If he needed it sooner, I'm not the girl for him. To thine own self be true. Some will end up falling by the wayside, but so be it. If I decided to jump into something, I was a big girl and ready to deal with my own emotions.
What "title" did she want?
A lot of issues can be avoided by simply introducing folks by their names!
Yeah, I felt kinda silly using boyfriend. I liked SO, and that's what I used on here before we got married. I don't remember actually introducing him as "This is XYZ, my significant other." Saying "This is XYZ, my man" sounds kinda ghetto!LOL!!!
June 5th, 2013
9:40 am
I like this statement….
Look coochie is not exclusive but u are.
Should you still be using "boyfriend or girlfriend"….ummm, no! Maybe at this age you shouldn't be one…lololol I have said "my man", but I was making a point. I don't going around saying "my man blah blah blah." All the more reason grown folks should "just know." IMO, at this stage in life (that sounds reeeeally old, don't it…lol), you show me you're interested and I reciprocate, then we should just know. I don't want to be sifting through or trrrryna understand where you're coming from. Aside from the obvious, it should be about companionship, partnering.
COMPANION….that's it!!! How about that word??
That's why I'm closing shop…for sooooooo many reason…lololol
June 5th, 2013
9:42 am
Also, I'm with disco….this is between us. If we're together and he or I run into someone we know, I'm going to introduce you by name…and that's all. That's all folks need to know. Ain'tcha dang business
June 5th, 2013
9:45 am
Let me clarify…I have said "my man"….ON HERE….noooowhere else…lol And again, I was making a point. I say "boo" OOOOONLY on here…lol Nooooway I'm saying that in public
June 5th, 2013
9:47 am
Hey Disco!!
I have "avoided" introducing my hubs to people because I forgot their name!LOL! Or I will just say "hey, this is XYZ" kinda casually and the other person will volunteer their name – "Nice to meet you XYZ, I'm Disco".
June 5th, 2013
9:49 am
Single – feel better now? huh?
disco – whatever floats your boat. I myself have no problem introducing folks to ppl. What's the big deal? I would feel a certian way if I'm with someone and they avoid making any kind of introduction of me whatsoever. I consider that very rude. Example– I was out with a date one night, I ran into a colleague I introduced him to my date by his name acknowledging him because he's a PERSON a HUMAN BEING. It has nothing to do with what other will think or say it's has to do with being courteous.
June 5th, 2013
9:52 am
Kimmie- dontcha hate when that happen? lol
I can forget a name in a heart beat. Good thing I hardly run into folks when I'm out and about.
June 5th, 2013
9:54 am
kimmie – this is why I said it was case by case. if we're cool I have no problems with introductions. thing is I know that many folks are simply busybodies looking for information they can gather out of a 2-3 minute conversation. all up in your face with fake "how you doing, how yo momma'nem doing, you still at the same job" type stuff just so they can have something to talk about. not on my watch.
button – maybe you have a higher tolerance for fake folks than I do. lol. me? I don't even really get into random small talk like all that with people I don't really fool with. I'd rather be quiet than go through the back and forth of small talk when my truth is I don't care how your kids are or about your new car or your new puppy. folks just talk too much.
June 5th, 2013
9:55 am
Blog, how would this sound:
Single and Disco are out at Single's fancy company Christmas party. Single & Disco have only gone out a few times and have not "gone there", not that it matters.
Single: Disco, this is my coworker Joe. Joe, this is my date Disco.
June 5th, 2013
9:58 am
disco – you make me lol
I"ve only introduce my SO to close family and select friends anyway. But I get your drift. Heck some folks have never met either of my husbands. Heck some didn't even know I was married.
June 5th, 2013
9:59 am
Morning all!
Titles can be important. I'd like to know where we stand after dating for a while. I guess the question is…how long have they been seeing each other at this point that he introduced her as a friend? If it's been a couple of months, then heck yeah, I'd be mad. If it's only been a couple of dates, then there is no need to be upset.
I do think it sounds silly at this age to say "my boyfriend," but what do you say? My significant other is too long…my partner is too vague…I've said "my man," but not a lot.
O/T – I have another lunch with my potential new boss today!!! Keep fingers crossed again!!!
June 5th, 2013
10:02 am
Kimmie – Disco: Single you know I don't like fake ppl and ppl all up in my buzness so don't go telling folks I'm your date, it aint none of their buzness
June 5th, 2013
10:05 am
kimmie – that was funny. lol.
button – I thought it was funny all by itself but if the point was to fill in the blank then I'd pleasantly say "Hi Joe" or "Nice to meet you" or whatever. I wouldn't clam up until Joe started in on the "so what do you do" type questions at which point I'd excuse myself and mosey on away. joe don't know me like that. lol.
June 5th, 2013
10:05 am
hey bluz. you know you got this girl. do yo thang at lunch.
June 5th, 2013
10:06 am
A colleague introduced me to his SO. He said "Button" this is J my Sig. I looked at him as said what? He said my significant other, I quickly responded with ohhh ok! shook her hand and said hi we all smiled. They walked away, end of story.
June 5th, 2013
10:08 am
Single: Disco, this is my coworker Joe. Joe, this is my date Disco.
If you're at a Christmas party (I believe you said), wouldn't the assumption be, that's your date? Why would you have to say, "this is my date, disco?" If disco or your date doesn't work in the office and unknown to the other folks there and is the only other person with you, wouldn't the assumption be, that's your date?
June 5th, 2013
10:11 am
Celisea- only a fool would assume…… isn't there a saying to assume is to make an azz out of u and me? or something like that
June 5th, 2013
10:12 am
I'd rather be introduced than not at all….especially if the other person introduces who they are with.
June 5th, 2013
10:12 am
Off topic (and then on to working and lurking)….
Pet peeeeeeeve: I buy a bacon and egg sandwich, in which the cashier rings up at nearly 4.00. Now, had he not put on bread, but laid in the container separate, it would have come up to $2.39…mmm hmmm, I asked the cashier to ring it up separately…. Call me mean or cheap (which I'm neither), but I'm not about folks getting over on me. Relationships, the cafe, the grocery store…nowhere. I asked her why the difference, and all she could say is "that's how we ring up sandwiches. NOT TODAY IT AIN'T….
Off the soapbox and working and lurking…
June 5th, 2013
10:13 am
Celisea – Okay, you're overthinking it!!LOL!!!
June 5th, 2013
10:14 am
Kimmie – My baaaad
June 5th, 2013
10:14 am
celisea – thing is folks start trying to pick "date" apart. they want to know if it's just a placeholder date that you drug along just so you wouldn't have to attend solo or they want to know if the two of you are actually dating. either way, most folks won't just leave it at "this is my date". folks for some reason feel entitled to more information.
June 5th, 2013
10:15 am
Cel – No problem. The point I was making is that "date" could be considered kind of a "title".
June 5th, 2013
10:16 am
Do you think our reader should mention how disappointed she was to her guy? Is that the way the exclusive topic should come up? – I don't think she should. Did she speak of exclusivity before she slept with him. What's up with people sleeping together with no clear cut direction the relationship is going in and when it goes left attitudes rise. Establish what you want and/or expect then lay between the sheets.
Celisea ~ perhaps people at the Christmas party haven't met his family members. He could have been with his sister, cousin, etc. He wanted them to know he was on a date and for anyone gawking at her to keep their distance else they're pull back a nub.
June 5th, 2013
10:17 am
Disco – I'm with you though, I hate nosey folks! Wanting me to give them a status report and a resume.
June 5th, 2013
10:18 am
disco – Well, I think it's what you said earlier…introduce and leave at that. Anything on the other side of that is for them to wonder and ponder over. Dontcha just love a mystery
Kimmie – I gotcha
June 5th, 2013
10:18 am
disco- some folks are just plain nosey. do a switcha -a-roo and start questioning them or simply remove yourself from their presence.

28 boxes later: Surprises in the McPhee Collection
Ben Simon is a student assistant in Special Collections & University Archives. This summer he is working on a project to organize the papers of Cal Poly President Julian McPhee (1933-1966). This is the second in a series of posts in which he shares his experiences processing McPhee's papers and learning more about the university's history.
When the Streets Had No Names
One of Julian McPhee's most overlooked contributions is the naming of streets on Cal Poly's campus. Pepper and Mt. Bishop Streets and California Boulevard were all named as the result of a collaboration between McPhee and the Student Roads Committee together with Alfred L. Ferrini, a prolific Central Coast land developer during the mid-20th century. As with McPhee, several local landmarks bear Ferrini's name, including Ferrini Square, Ferrini Apartments, Ferrini Enterprises, and Ferrini Road, all of which can be found around Foothill Boulevard.

Cutting Calories
How many calories can I safely cut out of my 1500 calorie per day diet?
Submitted by
I'm assuming if you're looking to cut out calories, you're looking to lose fat. Remember that it's not JUST about the calories, but also the quality of those calories. So think about what's making up the calories you're eating. Is it 3 Big Mac's each day or is your diet loaded with fruits, veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats? If you're exercising regularly and eating great foods, I wouldn't suggest cutting out much because you want your body to get the nutrients it needs.

Hi, Please see the following link for real weight loss technique. http://track.moreniche.com/hit.php?w=231534&s=178
Submitted by abdus.shafi
Eating less than 1500 calories a day is restrictive. Stick with that number at minimum and add exercise. Restricting is dieting which will lead to gaining weight back. DIETS DON'T WORK. Focus on eating foods you like in moderation, listening to your hunger fullness signals, and respecting your body as it is now. I recommend the book Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch as a way to model a healthy lifestyle and reach your healthy natural weight.
Submitted by achoover20
It is recommended that women go no lower than 1200 calories a day. Of course most people don't need to go that low to get results in a good amount of time. Exercising each day will also help cut calories without cutting more of them out of your food.
Submitted by spongeboblizard
Finding out how many calories you can safely cut out of your diet depends on your weight, daily caloric intake and physical activity level.

Prelude to the Holiday Season
Justice is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Much as shoppers gather their lists and funds together, stores are gearing up for the upcoming holiday season. The season begins with Black Friday, a day that, while filled with wild antics, has seen stores produce some of their best sales. Stores competitively fight to lure customers. To be prepared to win, they need a pre-game plan to strategize.
September proved to be an interesting month for the retail industry. J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) is in the midst of a bad run in the market. Sales are down and investors have lost interest, but CEO Ron Johnson is attempting to restore faith in his company with his turnaround plan. The plan is to create a shop within a shop. J.C. Penney's currently has 100 shops within its company, and by collaborating with different designers, J.C. Penney's exposes the designers to a wider audience and expands its company's appeal. Johnson has many critics, but with strong holiday sales he could look to prove them wrong. His plan might just be crazy enough to work.
Shares of Target (NYSE: TGT) have fallen in the midst of outside drama involving the company. The company has had to recall its company-branded Peanut Butter after reports of Salmonella. Target is also being sued by Minnetonka, a moccasin designer, for supposedly copying its Thunderbird design. Minnetonka was offered the opportunity to sell its moccasins in Target, but they turned down the offer. While these negative factors are reflected in Target's rocky share prices over the last month, the company has made moves that look to propel it to success this holiday season.
The company expanded its store locations to Canada, and will be a strong competitor to Wal-Mart and Sears. Additionally, throughout all their locations they will be hiring eighty thousand to ninety thousand holiday workers. Customers will have less discounted prices this year, but Target seeks to make up for that by teaming with Neiman Marcus. In each of its respective stores, it will have a joint holiday collection. If Target can overcome outside hurdles, it can have a great holiday season and finish the year out strong.
Another company with a spotty record in September is Gap (NYSE: GPS). The holiday season is going to make it or break it for this company, and it's riding on the appeal of corduroy's to bring customers in this year (a trend that has not caught on yet). The Banana Republic brand is also introducing a new collection for men and women, inspired by the novel and upcoming film Anna Karenina. It could boost sales significantly, especially after the Nov. 9 film release. Also moving in the right direction is another Gap brand: Piperlime. The online retailer has now opened its first shop in New York; this will help to expand its customer base. Gap can rebound if the cards it has dealt work in its favor.
Surging ahead of all competitors are Macy's (NYSE: M) and Nordstrom's (NYSE: JWN). Both companies have made the right moves at the right time. Macy's is heading into October with a renewed energy. It's looking to hire eighty thousand seasonal workers, a 2.6% increase from last year, in addition to having sales rise 3.7% from the first half of the year.
Macy's and Finish Line have announced that they have a new partnership, which is why 450 Finish Line stores will be opened in Macy's nationwide. Nordstrom's is also expanding its stores and brand. The company is opening four stores in Canada and opened sixteen new United States stores. Its Rack stores are very popular and account for 20% of its sales. To continue to increase sales over the "next five years," Nordstrom's will "invest $1 billion into e-commerce."
The top spot for the holiday season will come down to either Macy's or Nordstrom's. However, with the market's unpredictability, any of these five companies could win the holiday battle.

For 48 hours last week, the National Hockey League allowed its owners and general managers to answer questions directly from their players regarding the NHL's latest CBA proposal.
But the NHL Players' Association was not informed about the window of opportunity.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com that the league sent out a legal memo to its clubs that outlined the specifics of what could be discussed.
The union was not pleased that they were excluded from the news.
"Most owners are not allowed to attend bargaining meetings," NHLPA counsel Steve Fehr said in a statement sent to several news outlets. "No owners are allowed to speak to the media about the bargaining. It is interesting that they are secretly unleashed to talk to the players about the meetings the players can attend, but the owners cannot."
Players are normally not allowed to be in contact with clubs during the labour stoppage and are not allowed to use their team's facilities.
"I'm not sure why that's a big story," Daly added.
ESPN.com's Katie Strang adds that the league's memo strictly prohibits general managers from negotiating with players, making coercive statements, undermining the NHLPA or soliciting feedback on "their sentiment about collective bargaining matters."
It does, however, allow GMs to answer certain inquiries from players. ESPN.com also reports that the memo included a sample question-and-answer portion that gives executives suggestions on how to answer such things as: "What do you think we should do?," "What happens if the union doesn't accept this proposal?" and 'Why did the league take so long to make this offer?"
After exchanging offers last week, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman suggested that a deal must be reached by Thursday this week in order to save a full 82-game regular season that begins on Nov. 2.
Daly maintains a deal can be reached under the "make whole" proposal, and that there is wiggle room on the framework.
"We told them while there was only limited flexibility, the offer was not presented as a 'take it or leave it,'" Daly told ESPN. "We are willing to talk about it. But if their position is every other element of our offer is unacceptable - which they suggested to us at the meeting on Thursday - I'm not sure there is much to talk about currently."
Fehr reiterated to ESPN.com on Tuesday that he believes the league in that meeting Thursday told the NHLPA there isn't much wiggle room on the rest of the deal, apart from "make whole," other than "minor and insubstantial" tweaks.
