Relive your terrible first kiss or fill out applications? Debatable which is worse…
If you're headed for graduate school, you're headed in the right direction. But grad school applications are hard. The entrance exams, the essays, the fees — they hurt. And while the applications are obviously important and worth it, there are still a lot of other painful things I'd rather be doing.
1. Listen to Nickelback for 10 minutes (anything longer and I'd rather be filling out applications).
2. Relive my first kiss, which only lasted two to three seconds but was dry and unsatisfying enough to leave a life-long impression. Even worse, we kissed twice. Her idea. The second one lasted a second or two longer.
3. Eat a whole habanero pepper in one bite. I did it once while working at a grocery store in Reno and had to leave the cash register for 30 minutes to recover, due to its extreme spiciness.
4. Get a canker sore.
5. Sneeze while on a date with a girl when I have no tissues available to take care of the situation.
6. Sit on an airplane during extreme turbulence.
7. Read and attempt to interpret the writings of world-renowned philosopher Martin Heidegger. It's English but might as well be a different language — made me regret my philosophy minor.
8. Be rejected by Zooey Deschanel for a date (which requires her to talk to me, making it not a totally negative experience.)
9. Feel the symptoms of a hangover even though I didn't drink anything the night before.
10. Drop some peanut butter M&Ms on the ground. This might seem minor but trust me, it's truly tragic. It takes hours, if not days, to recover from such regret.
11. Get chased by a medium-sized dog, granted I escape to safety.
12. Relive the day I took the ACT. After bombing the four-hour-long exam because I was bad at timed tests, I went to my work to check my schedule. I wasn't on it. They fired me. Worst day ever.
13. Eat something cucumber-flavored. There's no taste I hate more in the world. Notice I said cucumber-flavored. I refuse to eat a whole cucumber unless my life depends on it.
14. Weather an attack by a herd of ants, even though I'm in a position to ultimately win the battle.
15. Talk trash about someone, only to find them standing right behind me the whole time. "Umm, I was talking about my other friend Tom who's dating Stacy. … What, I haven't introduced you to him yet?"
16. Miss one episode of How I Met Your Mother. I won't compromise Breaking Bad.
17. Relive the time I broke up with a girl right before our movie plans, and she still wanted to see the movie. Most awkward movie experience ever.
18. Fall asleep fully clothed, teeth unbrushed and face unwashed. (You feel gross and out of place).
19. Meet Cher. I don't know why, but that woman scares me. Something about her eyes or hair or something. Not only do I not believe in life after love when hearing her hit song Believe, I'm not even sure I believe in life, anymore. OK, that's an exaggeration, but the song's annoying.
20. Meet up with a girl from an online dating site, only to find she looks nothing like her photos. This has happened before. I refer to it as "having the angles." Meaning, the person's photos only show off certain angles, which end up being misleading.
21. Stay up for two and a half days (60 hours) straight. I did this when I was in grade school for a double-dog dare. Toward the end, you start questioning if your muscles work anymore and wondering if you can die from a lack of sleep.
22. Go snowboarding. I sold my snowboard for a reason. The pain versus pleasure ratio has always been discouraging.
23. Take friends to see a movie I picked out but haven't yet seen. It's always a gamble, isn't it? If the movie is bad, your friends blame you, as if you wrote and directed the film and are the reason it was terrible, as if you could've foreseen it.
24. Get into a very minor car accident. No one gets hurt. There's minimal to no damage to any of the cars. Just the extreme fear that comes when you get into any kind of accident.
25. Ask a woman how far along she is when she's not pregnant. "I meant, umm, when are you due for … jury duty?"
While it's easy to think of all the things you'd rather be doing instead of filling out grad school applications, try my approach. Think of the awful things you could be doing and remember one thing: The pain of filling out grad school applications is temporary. Memories of a botched first kiss last a lifetime.

"Law & Order," the stalwart series that pioneered the "ripped from the headlines" mode of storytelling, is apparently getting exasperated with the speed at which the Petraeus scandal is unfolding. "Law & Order: SVU" showrunner Warren Leight tweeted a message on Tuesday to the scandal's players.
"Memo to: FBI/CIA," read Leight's tweet. "From: SVU Writers' Room -- Please slow it down, we're having a hard time getting this all down."
We hope this means Detective Benson will soon be hauling in a shirtless NYPD officer for questioning after sending naughty photos to a Manhattan socialite who's being harassed by the former mistress/biographer of the head of the New York National Guard.

Sunday September 29, 2013
Louisville – After months of hard work and community discussion, Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton (D-5) learned on Thursday that the US Department of Housing and Urban Development has given approval of the Shawnee Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) Plan.
"This is great news as we continue our efforts to revitalize one of Metro Louisville's oldest areas," says Hamilton. "This approval will have an impact on homeowners and businesses with assistance to rehabilitate the neighborhood and restart economic development, something critically needed in our area."
With federal approval, $2 million dollars will be allocated over a five year period to focus on housing rehabilitation and economic development in the Shawnee area. The activities supported by the NRSA funding will be leveraged by a range of activities that involve the coordinated effort of Louisville Metro Community Services and Revitalization Department and other Metro Agencies.
"Many homeowners will see an opportunity to make home repairs that will help sustain families and neighborhoods. These funds will also help us revitalize West Market Street and encourage startup businesses while helping existing businesses grow," said Hamilton.
Here are the key areas of the NRSA grant funds:
Homeowner Rehabilitation
· LMCSR will rehabilitate 115 owner-occupied housing units in the neighborhood.
· A maximum of $24,999 will be available per qualified household.
· LMCSR's Residential Repair Team will administer the NRSA rehab with a focus on exterior repairs and health and safety code violations.
· Improvements may include repair or replacement of windows, front and back entry doors, concrete, roofs, paint, vinyl siding, stairs, shutters, security windows and doors, and gutters.
· Where needed, lead-safe work will be done and code violations will be addressed.
· To make the greatest impact in the neighborhood with a small amount of homes undergoing dramatic repairs, Metro will take a targeted approach to the NRSA homeowner rehabilitation program by prioritizing major street corridors as investment areas. Streets to be targeted:
o West Market Street
o River Park Drive
o Southwestern/Northwestern Parkways
o West Muhammad Ali Boulevard
o Vermont Avenue
o Broadway
As this is a five year plan, each corridor will be targeted for outreach individually and resident demand will be assessed before targeting the next priority area.
As the West Market Street Zone is the priority area for housing re-investment identified by residents in the 2013 Shawnee Neighborhood Plan, West Market Street from 34th Street (Louis Coleman Jr. Drive) to Shawnee Park will be the first target area for homeowner improvements.
The LMCSR Residential Repair Team is currently planning a "Home Repair Blitz" to be held in November 2013 at NorthWest Neighborhood Place. The Home Repair Blitz will educate residents about the NRSA Homeowner Rehabilitation program as well as existing Metro home repair services, including Weatherization, the Emergency Repair Program, and Lead Safe Louisville.
Economic Development
· LMCSR will expand its Micro-Enterprise development and lending program
· Additional services targeted to Shawnee to meet the anticipated increase in demand created by planned NRSA and West Market Street Corridor investments.
· Targeted LMCSR economic development activities may also include larger business loans and internal and external technical assistance to new businesses and those seeking to expand.
· Initial Micro-Enterprise activities will include:
o outreach to neighborhood organizations and existing businesses to introduce the microbusiness program to residents
o creating a micro-business training program for Shawnee Residents
o providing loan financing to Shawnee businesses to help start new enterprises or expand existing businesses.
Additionally, LMCSR will target its existing metro-wide programs to the neighborhood to truly leverage the impact of the NRSA investment including Weatherization, the Emergency Repair Program, Lead Safe Louisville, job training, the Family Economic Success Program, and financial management workshops.
To help ensure that NRSA investments impact neighborhood businesses, LMCSR will provide education and technical assistance for potential contractors and subcontractors on the Metro bidding process and approval as a Metro Government contractor or subcontractor.
"As we begin to make these improvements in rehabilitation and economic development, the city has plans to work on infrastructure," said Hamilton. "The 2013 CDBG Budget includes $150,000 to fund public improvements."
Those improvements include reconstruction of sidewalks to increase accessibility and public safety will be the primary activity of this investment.

· In the ScienCentre learners were able to explore the interactive displays, which included displays from The City of Cape Town which focused on detention dams, flooding within informal settlements and other water resources. The learners were also taken into the Canon Camera Obscura, where the significance and history of this camera was explained by MTN ScienCentre facilitators
Refreshments were served during an interval when groups changed activities.

Educators and learners showed their enthusiasm as they were shown by Facilitators to be practically involved with water testing using the School Water Project (SWAP) kits from the University of Stellenbosch. Teachers received resource packs, which included educational packs from RAMSAR.
On the whole everything went as planned. Positive verbal comments from learners and educators were shared with a reminder that they hope to be on board in any following project or programmes.The programme ended at 14h00 when busses took tired but excited and informed learners back to their schools.

Piano Safari is intended for students entering grades 1-3. We hope to offer two sections - Monday evenings and Saturday mornings.
When you listen to music, multiple areas of your brain become engaged and active. But when you actually play an instrument, that activity becomes more like a full-body brain workout. What's going on? Anita Collins explains the fireworks that go off in musicians' brains when they play, and examines some of the long-term positive effects of this mental workout.

I've bought 3 pairs of these jeans. Each fit differently oddly enough. The 36/L fit me the best according to me, the 36/Regular fit me the best according to the girly. I'm 6' 200lbs. I like 'em loose and baggier, the spandex is a great addition. I can bike, skate, hacky sack with out feeling really restricted. Pockets are a little small so the keys and phone usually find another place to be held. Good cut jeans.
Did not come with WiFi
Member since
These pants did not come with WiFi like I thought they were going to. Other than that I hope you like to wear your pants saggy because they are pretty much lowrider jeans designed to show off your girly hip bones. But hey, the cops ain't arresting me for public indecency so there ya go.

Love the fit!

Augustana Shoots Its Way Past USF 96-77
SIOUX FALLS, SD — Augustana shot a season-high 55.5 percent from the field and 61 percent from 3-point range on its way to a 96-77 win over Sioux Falls (5-2, 2-1 NSIC) on Saturday night at the Stewart Center. Casey Schilling recorded his second double-double of the season finishing with 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Vikings (5-4, 2-1 NSIC).
Augustana hit 11 3-pointers in the win, marking its third straight game with 10 or more in the contest. Daniel Jansen was a perfect 3 for 3 from 3-point range and finished with 19 points on 6 of 9 shooting. Jansen was also 4 of 4 from the free throw line.
Freshman guard Matthew Brazendale posted the second 20-point performance of his career, finishing with 20 on 7 of 14 shooting. Augustana shot 83 percent from the free throw line hitting 29 of 35 shots from the stripe. Schilling led the Vikings at the line with a career-high 10 made free throws on 12 attempts.
Adam Beyer added a season-high nine points for Augustana making one field goal and going 7 of 8 from the free throw line. Ethan Guske pitched in eight points hitting 2 of 3 from 3-point range.
USF was led Mack Johnson who scored 21 points on 8 of 13 shooting, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range. Mahlon Jones added 19 points for the Cougars going 8 of 12 from the field.
After USF started off the game with a quick 3-pointer from the right corner, the Vikings went on a12-3 run to grab a big lead. The Cougars stopped the bleeding getting baskets on consecutive possessions but Jansen and Brazendale answered with two straight 3-pointers to put the Vikings up 19-9.
Augustana hit 7 of its first 8 shots, including 3 of 3 from 3-point range in the first five and a half minutes of the game to take a 21-9 lead at the game's first media timeout.
The Cougars went on a 17-4 run over the four and a half minutes, hitting three 3-pointers during the stretch, taking a 26-25 lead with 10:11 to play in the first half. Augustana stormed right back scoring 14 of the game's next 18 points to take a 39-30 lead.
USF followed suit and scored eight straight points on three straight possessions, on two more 3-pointers by Johnson to make it a 39-37 game. That did not get the Vikings down as they scored 12 of the game's next 16 points to go up 51-41 with 1:32 to go in the half.
Augustana took a 51-45 halftime lead after shooting 65 percent (19 of 29) from the field in the first half, including 7 of 10 from 3-point range. The Vikings were led by Schilling's 13 first-half points with Matthew Brazendale and Jansen each adding nine points.
USF got 14 points from Johnson in the first half as he was 5 of 7 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range. The Cougars finished the half shooting 50 percent (17 of 34) from the field, 6 of 13 from 3-point range.
The Vikings pushed the lead to 10 at 55-45 a minute and a half into the second half but USF went on a 10-3 run over the next two minutes to make it a three point game at 58-55 in favor of the Vikings. That is as close as Augustana would allow the Cougars to get as the Vikings were able to push the lead back up to 10 at 72-62 with 9:31 remaining in the game. Brazendale scored five points during that stretch and seven over a minute span and the Vikings and the Vikings continued to add to their lead.
Schilling gave the Vikings its largest lead of the night at 15 hitting his second 3-pointer of the night making the score 81-66 with 6:50 remaining in the game. The Vikings continued to overwhelm the Cougars pushing their lead to 20 at 91-71 after a putback by Devin Gilligan.
Augustana returns home for a four-game homestand next weekend. The Vikings will host Concordia-St. Paul on Friday, Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. before taking on Minnesota State at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Jon Gosselin was on Larry King Live telling everyone about his epiphany… that the show isn't healthy for his kiddos. Wow! It's interesting Jon just discovered this after TLC dropped his ass huh? Read more and see Jon on Larry King Live on video below.
Jon Gosselin spoke with Larry King and stated he felt "Jon & Kate Plus 8″ is "detrimental" to his family and that he is determined to make it stop.
"I had an epiphany one day," Gosselin told King. "I didn't want to be the person I was any more. I had to take back my life….This show is not healthy for my kids…And I want it to stop."
Jon's new lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, was tossing out dollar figures stating that TLC made $186 million dollars last quarter, mainly off Jon and Kate. Jon Gosselin said he and Kate only made $1 million a year from TLC.
"A million dollars — $500,000 after taxes. And that's divided by 10 [the 10 members of the family] — that's what I made," Jon said Thursday night. Oh, poor Jon!
And what about "Jon & Kate Plus 8″ relaunching as "Kate Plus 8″ in Nov. 2?" Well, Jon's lawyer Heller said it's not happening.
"Are you going to try and keep it off the air?" King asked Heller.
"I guarantee you, it's a done deal [that the show will not get back on the air]. There's no judge in the country that will let those children work if the father is against it," Heller said. "I can assure you and your viewers that this show will not go forward with these eight children."
Check out Jon Gosselin and his creepy lawyer in these videos from Larry King Live below:

The report says 62 Iowans died of prescription drug-related overdoses involving controlled prescription pain relievers like oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone in 2011. That is up 59% from 2010.
The report also says that Iowa saw 29 drug-related traffic fatalities in 2011, the highest level in five years.
In 2011, Iowa saw the most heroin related deaths in recent history, with 10.
"I applaud health care providers who have become more educated on pain treatment and voluntarily stepped up their monitoring of prescription medication use to enhance patient care," said Lukan in a written statement. "Prescription drug abuse is a shared concern that threatens the health and safety of Iowans, and it demands additional action by professionals, parents and all of us who are responsible for securing, using and disposing of medicines in our home."
The report also indicates a drop in synthetic drug sales and use after the legislature passed one of the strongest synthetic drug control laws in the nation.
The report also says that alcohol related motor vehicle fatalities dropped in Iowa from 73 in 2010 to 64 last year. That is the lowest level in at least 18 years.
The ODCP reports that marijuana manufacturing, distribution and use appear to be on the rise in Iowa. Law enforcement has seized 5,813 marijuana plants so far in Fiscal Year 2013 compared to 2,003 in Fiscal Year 2012.
The report also says that 66.2% of Iowa juveniles in treatment named marijuana as their drug of choice.
The complete report is available at http://www.iowa.gov/odcp/.

Is the market still vulnerable?
Internal deterioration suggests so.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
The earnings this week, along with the better-than-expected reaction to the Spanish bond auctions have reduced the high level of fear that was evident at the April 10 lows. From a technical standpoint, the rebound from these lows has now reached a critical juncture.
The S&P 500 has just retraced over 50% of the recent decline. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement resistance stands at 1397.55, and a close above the psychological resistance at 1400 will increase the odds that the highs at 1422.38 will be tested.
Conversely, a drop below Monday's lows at 1365.38 will return the focus to the downside. On a break of the April 10 lows, the S&P 500 could drop another 2%-6%. The intermediate-term analysis still suggests a deeper correction will be a buying opportunity, but there are some warning signs.
Sentiment is still too bullish, and many seem to be complacent now that there have been some positive earnings surprises. Also the Commitment of Traders (COT) data, according to commodity expert John Person, reveals that small speculators added to their long positions last week.
Historically, small speculators do not have a great track record of being on the right side of the market. Let's now look at the technical signs that have me concerned about the market's short-term health.
Chart Analysis: The daily chart of the Spyder Trust (SPY) shows that it closed below the daily Starc- band on last Tuesday's lows at $135.76. This was clearly a high-risk time to sell. The rebound has taken SPY back to the underside of the former uptrend, line a.
- The key resistance overhead is at $139.76 (61.8% resistance) then and $140.34, the April 4 high
- Daily Starc+ band is currently at $140.95
- The NYSE Advance/Decline (A/D) line is the broadest measure of the market's health, and it formed a slight negative divergence at the recent highs, line b
- The A/D line dropped below its weighted moving average (WMA) and the previous lows on last week's decline
- A drop below the April 10 lows would start a new downtrend in the A/D line, which has longer-term support at line c
- The McClellan Oscillator hit oversold levels at -315 last week and has now bounced back to the zero line, which has relieved the oversold status
The short-term chart of the Spyder Trust (SPY) shows what may be an A-B-C rally from last week's lows, as SPY closed Wednesday just below the flat 20-day EMA.
- Once below the April 10 lows, the next support (line a) is at $134.26
- If the next decline is equal to the drop from the April 2 high to the April 10 low, the 100% Fibonacci price projection, or equality target, is at $132.91
- Major 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support is at $128.92
- S&P 500 A/D line formed a negative divergence at the recent highs, line b, before breaking its uptrend, line c
- The S&P 500 A/D line shows a similar negative formation as the NYSE A/D line, as it has just rallied back to former support (now resistance) at line c
- S&P 500 A/D line was weaker than the NYSE on the decline, as the uptrend, line c, was broken
The daily chart of the ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF (SH) has pulled back to first support in the $36 area.
- SH had rallied from the April 2 low of $35.37 to a high on April 10 of $37.02
- Daily on-balance volume (OBV) broke its downtrend, line e, in late March and retested the breakout level at the April lows
- OBV also formed a positive divergence at the lows, line f, and is well above its rising weighted moving average
- There is next resistance at $36.78 -$36.85 and the downtrend, line d
- The 100% Fibonacci projection, or equality target, is at $37.67 with longer-term resistance in the $40 area
What It Means: The action of the stock market in the next two days is likely to set the stage for next week's trading as well.
The most likely scenario, in my opinion, is for the stock market rally to fail near current levels and for stocks to eventually break below the April 10 lows. This would allow for several more weeks on the downside, but at this point, the probability for a several-month decline is low.
If stocks instead manage to close above key overhead resistance, then we could see a test of the early-April highs. Such a rally would have to be very impressive to signal a breakout to significant new highs.
New positions in the ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF (SH) are recommended for both traders and investors. For stock positions, be sure to have stops in place and raise them when necessary.
How to Profit: For the ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF (SH), go 50% long at $36.26 or better and 50% long at $36.06 with a stop at $35.18 (risk of approx. 2.8%).
Alternatively, the position could be taken by buying SH on a buy stop at $36.88 with a sell stop at $35.96 (risk of approx. 2.6%).
I have tightened many of the stop levels on the stocks in the "Charts in Play" Portfolio. See Page 3 for the current portfolio with updated stop levels.

People who down too many energy drinks to get a boost may get rushed to the emergency room instead.
Lots of people are downing energy drinks these days. They are marketed as a low-calorie way to give yourself a boost anytime you need it.
According to Dr. Tom Tallman of the Cleveland Clinic, there is a big problem with mixing these potent drinks with booze. The effects can be harmful and misleading.
"A significant, greater number of men go to the emergency department than women," he observes. "The thought of having an energy drink with an alcoholic drink means, 'I can stay awake longer and drink more and then maybe I won't feel the effects of the alcohol so much.'"
That wrong-headed thinking makes it harder to know when to say "when."
"You don't necessarily feel the effects of the alcohol, so people don't realize as to exactly how drunk they get and they might think they're okay to drive," says Todd Simmons.
And it's never okay to drink and drive...never.
"I personally don't drink a lot of energy drinks, but my husband does," says Jennifer Bradley. "As far as the mixed drink, I don't like them because they make my heart race."

BBB advises caution when rebuilding after a fire

BBB offers advice for those recovering from recent fires
AUSTIN, Texas -- Victims of the historic Central Texas fires spent days camped out in shelters, waiting. Now they are returning to the ashes and starting to rebuild.
Better Business Bureau advises those residents to take measures to prevent unscrupulous businesses and scammers from victimizing them a second time.
"Those coming back to damaged or destroyed homes are especially vulnerable right now," said Carrie A. Hurt, president and CEO of BBB serving Central, Coastal, Southwest Texas and the Permian Basin. "Navigating the processes for filing an insurance claim or applying for aid can be stressful and confusing. At the same time, con artists are looking to make money from people who may have already lost everything."
Mark Hanna, spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas, recommended those with insurance contact their insurance provider immediately to begin the claims process. He said insurance companies are currently working hard to ensure all claims are handled quickly and efficiently.
"This is not unlike a hurricane where you have many homes and many families that have been dramatically affected and are in need of assistance," he said. "The industry is aware of the problem and they are trying to get a hold of all policy holders as soon as possible."
Many victims of the fires may not have insurance or may discover they did not have enough insurance to cover their losses. Such residents in Bastrop, Travis and Williamson counties now qualify for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Anyone who suffered damage in the wildfires should register with FEMA as soon as possible. The deadline to register is 60 days from Sept. 9. Victims can register over the phone by calling 800-621-3362, online at
or in person at FEMA's Disaster Recovery Center at the Bastrop Ninth Grade Center, 1602 Hill St., between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Those who are not covered by the federal disaster declaration may still qualify for several state programs or assistance through private charitable organizations.
Those whose homes were not damaged should read BBB's tips on charitable donations and disaster preparedness.
To assist those trying to recover from fire damage, BBB offers the following tips:
For those with insurance
� Call your insurance as soon as possible. Once you know damage has been done to your home, the faster you can get the claims process started, the faster you can begin your recovery.
� Document the damage. Take photos or video of all the damage before you clean up or make improvements. This can help the insurance adjuster estimate the appropriate costs.
� Make only temporary improvements. If your house is only partially damaged, you may patch holes and make other temporary improvements to make it livable. However, do not spend money on permanent improvements until your insurance company gives the OK. Remember to keep all receipts for your insurance later.
� Be present when the insurance company surveys the damage. You can help point out areas the adjuster might not have seen, like a shed in the backyard. If possible, have your contractor there as well to help estimate the costs of rebuilding.
� Consult the experts. The Texas Department of Insurance has a hotline set up to help people with questions about their insurance or problems with their insurance company. Call 1-800-252-3439 for assistance. The Insurance Council of Texas offers similar services.
For those without insurance
� Salvage what you can. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's publication "After the fire: returning to normal" contains valuable information about where to turn and steps to take after a fire occurs, including tips on how to clean fire-damaged items. It is available at
� Know where to turn. The Texas Department of Public Safety has a list of resources available for those who are not covered by the federal disaster declaration. Otherwise, visit
for information on assistance available through the federal government. Also remember charitable organizations like your local church or national charities.
Call BBB at 512-445-2911 or visit
with any questions, to report a scam or to check out a business.

Confessions Of An Imposter Mom: Playground Politics
I'm not proud of what I'm about to say, but here goes...
I'm a real a**hole on the playground.
More specifically, I may be ruining young psyches with my playground politics.
Case in point: The little blond girl we'll call Julia.
In my defense, Julia's a real prima dona. Blonde. Prissy. Know-it-all. She may only be five or six now, but I see Julia's future. She's that cliquey sorority slut you run into at frat parties in college and instantly despise.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Back to little Julia. I see her at the playground often. She and her friends (whose 40something Mexican nannies are also clique-ish) are always running AWAY from The Wee One, who genuinely just wants to make friends.
Here's how that goes:
Julia and her friends (all around the 5-6 year old range) are playing in the sand. The Wee One (all of 18 months) plops down to join them. Julia and her friends run away. The Wee One, thinking it's a game, gets up and runs after them, smiling, giddy. Julia gives The Wee One the stank eye as she and her friends run faster or climb a tree to escape.
The adult in me gets the dynamic. My inner brat (we'll call her Bratty McBraxton) does NOT. Personally offended, I swoop in, try to distract The Wee One with one of her toys or the enticement of THE SLIDE (it really IS the best thing to do on the playground). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For the most part, The Wee One appears untraumatized by the playground politics.
I, on the other hand, feel overly emotional and rejected.
Who's the REAL baby, you ask?
Insert dramatic eye roll.
So back to Julia and me.
I've spent the better part of six months studying her behavior. And I don't like her. She's bossy. Possessive. Demanding. A real six year old.
So imagine how I feel when she tries to steal one of The Wee One's toys the other day...
The Wee One has left her sand toys to wander aimlessly after yet another kid who's not interested in being her friend. (Oy, all my issues come up on the playground!)
Julia makes a grab for The Wee One's coolest toy.
I catch Julia in the act and say...
"Is that your toy?"
Julia looks up at me with her big blue eyes, feigns innocence.
"I don't think so," I counter. "That's her toy."
"But I want to play with it," she says, twisting a lock of blond hair around her finger, assessing if her charms will work on me.
They don't.
"Too bad. You're not very nice to her so we're not going to share today," I say in my best scolding voice. (This will SO be one of the scenes God plays in my Albert Brooks' Defending Your Life montage.)
Julia looks at me, surprised. Most people don't say no to her. She knows it. I know it. She hates it. I love it.

Meteorologists are always looking for patterns in the weather, so what if you could see a 60-year history of tornadoes in just a few seconds?
The data dates back to 1950, which is when the National Weather Service started keeping records -- but the data shows more than where the tornado touchd down. It also shows the path the twister took and what its intensity was on the F scale.
"It certainly is impressive looking," said Todd Krause, a meteorologist with the NWS who helps keep Mother Nature's score when it comes to where and when tornadoes strike.
Still, Krause says not even he is used to seeing his data used in maps.
Thanks to Doppler radar and suburban sprawl, even the smallest tornadoes in rural areas make it into the record books -- but looking back at 60 years of tornado data month by month shows another pattern emerging: The northern migration of tornadoes over the summer.
The map data suggests that Tornado Alley may be creeping ever closer to the Twin Cities, with he most prevalent time falling in June, July and August.
"Lately, in the last 10 or 20 years, with that northern push of humid air further and further, we're seeing more severe weather events in the northern states," said FOX 9 Chief Meteorologist Ian Leonard. "That's something we have to get used to."
Krause says each year brings peaks and valleys in tornado statistics, but 2010 earned a dubious distinction of seeing 113 tornadoes touch down in Minnesota -- more than in Texas or Oklahoma.
Now, Minnesota finds itself in the grip of a persistent storm pattern. Tornadoes can happen anywhere and move in any direction.
"All those adages -- being near a river or a city -- they're all wive's tales," Leonard said.
So far, the state has enjoyed a relatively mild summer -- but the data shows that anything can happen. There have been 25 recorded tornadoes in 2012, and the state average is about 37 a year.
Yet, while the number of recorded tornadoes has been increasing, the number of deaths has actually declined. In the last 20 years, 11 people were killed by tornadoes.
The deadliest tornado in Minnesota history was in 1886 in St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids. It killed 72 people.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014The main coarses were delicious and well portioned. However, the "large" Italian salad priced at $11.50 was woefully disappointing--a skimpy portion of iceberg lettuce, 4 grape tomatoes, 3-4 kalamata olives and a few croutons-- a major rip off for the price!! Is this their way of subsidizing the the eat-a-meal, take one home program?Special Features:
- okOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/19/2014Food: nothing special... just ok! Reserve: when you arrive with no reservations they tell you to wait for at least half an hour. No problem. But, if you use reservation service on smartphone... well what a surprise you will be able to find a table imediatelly! So... There are table available... weird... I hate lies... so... go to another place! Romanos, Carinos... Best options!
- Great service!!foldednapkinVIPDined on 9/18/2014Judy was our server. She is one of the friendliest and best servers we've had in a long time. We plan to ask for her every time we return. The food was great and the servings were generous.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Princess is back again to celebrateTandT2Dined on 9/9/2014We come here often to celebrate Birthdays. The service tonight was absolutely fabulous. Our waiter made our dining experience over the top. Called my daughter Princess "even though she is a young adult". Made her birthday that much more special. I tried the Lighter Chicken Picata and it was superb. Will be back soon !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for dinnerGwtrDined on 9/9/2014The food and service we outstanding as usual. Celebrated a birthday and it went as expected.Special Features:
- Overall, an enjoyable restaurantmilly2Dined on 9/9/2014I've always enjoyed the food and ambiance here. The only negative this time was the service. One member of our party got the wrong food twice, once because our waiter misunderstood her and once because he grabbed the wrong food from the window; another waiter figured the latter one out and brought her the correct one. Also, when I got home, I learned that my take-home pasta was not correct. However, all my food was very good, even the incorrect one, and it was otherwise an enjoyable experience. I'll just be hoping for a different waiter the next time around.Special Features:
- New Menu for Fit PeopleDavidDined on 9/8/2014They have new menu items that are amazing. I had quit eating high calorie, high everything foods 2.5 years ago while dropping 60 pounds. When you are preparing to compete in a Mini Triathlon you are conscious of the fuel you consume. I had given up Maggiano's except for very special occasions. Their new menu has put them back on my list. The Chicken Marsala was one of the best things I've tasted in a very long time. In making their lighter fare the quality was a priority and it shows.Special Features:
- Consistent!JimS1Dined on 8/31/2014Maggiano's is consistent in offering very good food, an interesting and evolving menu, excellent service. We are seldom disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerluvitalianfoodDined on 8/31/2014We went to Maggiano's for my birthday. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Our food arrived rather quickly. Everything was delicious and of course, too much to eat at one sitting. Lemon cookies appeared with a candle...so sweet! I would love to go back for coffee and dessert!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Found it!HeadhunterDined on 8/30/2014I have looked for some time to find a place that stays open past 8 and still has good food selections, ambience, and descent service. Maggianos not only met the minimum of what I was looking for but went above and beyond by having fantastic food at a reasonable price, open late and has exceptional service. The ambience was fun and the place was hopping, even late. They offer valet parking for $6.00 and they were easy to get to. They are located in the Domain and who doesn't like going there??? I highly recommend it to anyone, unless you're allergic to garlic:<). We had to get take some home because there was so much food on the plate. The entree was just as good the next day and the reheating instructions were right on!Special Features:
- awesome servicehenry79sbDined on 8/30/2014We booked the reservasion two weeks ahead of time, they call and confirmed the day before. It was a pleasant reminder and they had the notes I had requested. The actual dinner was great, the service and accommodations were superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Maggiano'sboileree72VIPDined on 8/30/2014Maggiano's was great as always. Food is excellent and service was good.Special Features:
- Awesome and consistent service.frederi463Dined on 8/30/2014We have dined at Maggianos Little Italy several times for lunch and dinner. We have always had a pleasant dining experience. They have flavorful selections. We like their "Buy a classic meal, take another home for tomorrow".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Our waitress seemed put out when we would ask questions like "do you have a house wine" She was not as friendly as she could have been. Too pricey for what you get.Special Features:
- eatoutfunDined on 8/26/2014This visit was my third. The first time I was a guest of some friends. The next time I took a group on a Sunday afternoon. This visit on Tuesday was for a birthday lunch for a friend. The next planned visit is a staff dinner on Friday, September 12th. All my guests have not been to Maggiano's before - so this should be fun. I love the variety and the desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 6th birthday celebrationlandcpaintDined on 8/26/2014I went with my wife, Dad and step-Mom to celebrate my 6th birthday. It was a treat in 2 ways. First it is always good food and second my dad paid! I tried the Lobster Carbonara and it was very tasty. For dessert we had the Spumoni very yummy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My "Go To Place"wmckiernanDined on 8/24/2014I always like going to Maggiano's when the family needs to get out for good Italian food. We get the "Chef's Choice" meals where you buy one and get one to take home. That always results in great leftovers. It is the best value for my dollar. The food is consistently good as is the service.Special Features:
- ReviewReviewDined on 8/24/2014Good food, prices, and ambience...not necessarily a kid friendly atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Group Outingdine2liveDined on 8/24/2014We had 20 or so people in our party and Maggiano's came to mind from previous visits when we had seen other big parties. They were completely ready for us; we were able to enjoy our reunion with out-of-towner friends and eat pretty good food. The kids were happy, too. There's something for everyone. But most importantly, in our case, we were able to get together as a big group and have everyone come out happy and satisfied.Special Features:
- Love the Classic PastaATXdinerDined on 8/24/2014We like the informal atmosphere and delicious food at Maggiano's, but what we love is the Classic Pasta deal. With the large portions, we always take home part of our in-restaurant order, and with the extra take-home serving, we're talking four meals for under $15! Can't beat that, especially with the range of selections!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ExperienceJerryJoeUCDined on 8/23/2014Really enjoyed the food and service. No wait since we made reservations online. A little noisy but that could've been a number of reasons. Strongly recommend the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ReservationManga4twoDined on 8/22/2014I made a reservation trough the open table app, when I arrived to the restaurant the hostess told me that my table was going to be ready in 30 to 45 minutes. What is the purpose of making a reservation. It was not a very good first impression. A manager had to intervene to solve the wait issue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice ambiance good food!fs01Dined on 8/22/2014Excellent service and the bruscheta was outstanding. Would recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing as alwaysAustinFoodieDined on 8/19/2014Maggiano's is always amazing. We are looking into booking our rehearsal dinner there for next year. Such great atmosphere and food. Will return for sure!Special Features:
- Maggianos for weekday lunchnativeaustiniteDined on 8/19/2014Before now, I had only dined at Maggiano's for dinner, never lunch. Recently, we dined on a Monday afternoon at 2:00. We enjoyed the same delicious food and romantic atmosphere, but it was a much quieter dining experience. We had ample choice of seating, and the attentive waiter made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a wonderful meal, and we will definitely return at this time of day for a repeat performance!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food for a great price!pammysueDined on 8/15/2014Met a childhood friend (50+ years!) and caught up with each others' lives while eating one of the wonderful classic pastas. The portions were generous, and we each took another delicious meal home for the next day, along with leftovers of our dinner meals. The ambience was relaxed, and the noise level was conducive to chatting during the meal and after. What a great place to dine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Did the right thingPattiVIPDined on 8/9/2014We arrived for our 7:15 pm reservation on time. It took about 10 minutes for us to be seated. After that we waited 15 minutes the waitress came by and said she would be with us soon, at 30 minutes my husband asked the host for a table with a wait person. Right after that the waitress came over and asked for our drink order. About 5 minutes after that the manager came over and apologized and one of the staff went to get us some water. After that the experence improved and the food was great, the brochetta there is excellent and our meal was very good. The manager ended up comping us the meal so in the end they did the right thing and we had an nice experience.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Fantastic place to eat. We brought friends to join us and they too said that it would be their favorite place to come too.The food was very good and there was more than enough so we took some home with us.Special Features:
- Very accommodating and friendlybillyVIPDined on 8/8/2014I made a reservation for 6 and my party grew to 8. I called and there was some hesitancy about adding the other two members to the table. None the less, we got there and the staff was happy and very pleasant to work with and they got us a table for 8. Thank you and we will certainly be back. Portions were outrageous and delicious.Special Features:
- A Birthday worth rememberingJohnnyNYCDined on 8/2/20141) Beautiful decor. Wonderful atmosphere. Fine dining without needing to be overdressed. 2) NYC quality Italian food that could go toe to toe with the best in Manhattan. 3) Accommodated a large party size and managed to keep my sister in law's surprise appearance a secret despite her being 15 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic. 4) Helpful and well informed waitstaff 5) Family style meals are a great bargain for adults and those looking to try a lot of types of food. "Endless plates" mean free refills if asked. 5) Fresh Gnocchi and Sausage Ala Vodka Sauce was amazing. Beef Tenderloin was to die for. Shrimp Scampi and Taylor Street Pasta were exceptional. Crab Cake, Calamari, and Fried Mozzarella appetizers all fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FooddindomDined on 8/1/2014The food was great and there were alot of great looking dishes to choose from on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great EveningOrionDined on 8/1/2014The food was fantastic and reasonably priced, and our server Judy was perfect: friendly and attentive without being bothersome. I will definitely return.Special Features:
- Great serviceYumYumInMyTumTumDined on 7/31/2014Always love the great service at Maggiano's. Budget friendly...especially if you choose the option to have dinner and take an additional dinner home section. My uncle loves this because he can have some lasagna and then have more lasagna the next day.Special Features:
- Italian DelightLlh29Dined on 7/29/2014An array of menu options that pleases a myriad of tastes and dietary restrictions is just one of the positive features of this restaurant. Located in The Domain, this dining establishment can treat your large group to a wonderful experience or provide you and your partner with a romantic night out. The wine list is vast, and don't forget to splurge on dessert. The classic pastas are always winners because you dine in and take a choice to go home all for one reasonable price ($12.95 or 14.95). Enjoy an evening as if you took an excursion to Italy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Occasion dinnerretireddinersDined on 7/29/2014I made reservations for a group of 8 and asked not to be close to the kitchen as my husband can't hear. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. The table was a great location with the exception of one of the chairs was backed up against a post and only a smaller person could sit there and fit. Because of the location of that chair, it was difficult to hear conversations going on any where else at the table (I sat there). They brought everyone a dessert treat for my husband's birthday and candles. It was very nice. We all had a great time. The food was fantastic.Special Features:
- No server cam by for 15-20minutesVSinghDined on 7/27/2014We were greeted by a fine gentleman and brought to our table which we had a reservation for 1 day in advance. Three waiters had walked by our table and we were never approached with water or even acknowledged by the servers. We sat for 15-20 minutes and left as we were really hungry. Luckily a sushi place was nearby, we started dinning in 10 minutes there. Not planning to come here again.
- Great Dinner!RockaliciousDined on 7/26/2014Stopped by for dinner on a Saturday evening. Glad we made reservations ahead and was seated right away. Attentive staff and the food quality is consistent. Very accommodating for families with kids. Highly recommend it!Special Features:
- Awesome ServicefirsttimerDined on 7/24/2014Once we sat down at our table, our waitress was moments behind. I've never had such great service. My glass was never empty and she was continually making sure everything was up to par. Would definitely go back again.Special Features:
- AWKWARDOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/21/2014I reserved the table for surprised birthday party and made special instruction for my son's 18th birthday… However NO one acknowledge the birthday AND nothing special was done… I had to ask server twice for birthday cake (that I ordered) as it was late night seems that server was rushed us out. Due to poor service I tipped her poorly and as I was in PARKING LOT server came to us and gave us speech about how much we should have tipped her… I never had this kind of experienced where server leaves the restaurant and approach client in parking lot…Special Features:
- Just love this place!Mamao6Dined on 7/20/2014Great dining experience every time. Wonderful food with many special items and gluten free options. Our server, Zach, was outstanding, making helpful suggestions along the way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Q: dōTERRA's essential oils are trademarked as "CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™". What does this term mean, and what evidence is there to prove the efficacy and purity of your oils?
A: dōTERRA's essential oils are trademarked and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™. This term means that our essential oils will always maintain the highest quality standard in therapeutic grade essential oils for purity and efficacy. dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils are 100% pure, free of fillers or artificial contaminants such as pesticides or other chemical residues.
In order to assure the purity of our oils and the presence of their active compounds, we subject our oils to rigorous testing standards for chemical composition. dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils are cross tested using mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to ensure both extract purity and composition potency of each batch. Each dōTERRA product is guaranteed to exceed customer satisfaction and performance expectations. We encourage you to try our products and judge for yourself. See, smell, and feel the difference of the purity and potency of CPTG essential oils.
Q: Why do your essential oils smell so much better than other essential oils on the market that claim to be therapeutic grade?
A: Aroma is an excellent indication of true purity. A 100% pure essential oil will elicit powerful emotional responses and will not be overbearing in any one note. Many people have described dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils as "sweet" or "extremely pleasing fragrances". This is because when plants are grown in a region in which it is indigenous, with proper nutritive soil conditions, air quality, weather/moisture, are harvested at the right time and carefully distilled, the essential oil extract will be pure and of the highest quality, thus having a fragrance that exceeds that of oils that have been diluted or synthetically produced. Unfortunately, there are many essential oils on the market that claim to be "therapeutic grade", "100% pure", or "100% natural" that do not follow strict standards for purity and potency. The best way for a consumer to know the quality and value of any product is to experience it for themselves.
Q: Do you grow your own plants and own your own farms?
A: We have found that a primary key to superior essential oil quality is the location in which the plant is grown. For this reason, we carefully source our essential oils from all over the world, rather than from a few locations that are not native habitats for the plants. For example, our Lavender is grown in the high altitudes of France, our Lemon comes from Italy, and our Frankincense is sourced from Oman. Because our management team is trusted and respected by global producers, we are able to secure precious crops for essential oil production from preferred suppliers.
Q: I have been involved with another network marketing company in the past and am looking to build a relationship with a company that will be committed to the products, consumers, and consultants. How was your company founded, and how can I be sure that I can trust this company's management?
A: The founders of dōTERRA are a group of healthcare and business professionals who came together in the spring of 2008 with a common vision of bringing together a new standard of therapeutic-grade essential oils to the world. The founders have several years' experience in the direct-selling industry and have earned degrees from top universities. Prior to forming dōTERRA, the founders had successfully managed several large companies, which flourished under their management. They are well-respected, honest, hard-working individuals who have sacrificed much to bring this company to fruition. They are successfully achieving their dream of bringing the purest, most effective essential oils to the world. (To read dōTERRA's Mission Statement, please click here.)
Q: I love dōTERRA's products, but am hesitant to become involved in direct sales. If I decide to join, are there opportunities for me to learn more about the products and to learn how to build my own business with dōTERRA?
A: dōTERRA recognizes that as essential oils are becoming more mainstream, there is a greater need for education. dōTERRA provides exceptional educational opportunities for all people interested in learning how CPTG oils can be used as a self-care wellness alternative. These events are offered throughout the year from one of the leading essential oil experts, Dr. David K. Hill, as well as other guest presenters. In addition, we offer training workshops, webinars, and business-building tools to help you embrace the business prospect and become successful in your efforts to distribute our products through person-to-person contact and globally through personalized web shopping sites.
Q: Are dōTERRA's essential oils organic?
A: dōTERRA's CPTG essential oils exceed industry standards. Because organic certification varies from country to country, province to province, and in the US, from state to state, it is not currently possible to acquire all oils under certified organic status. However, through the GC/MS analysis process, we are able to determine if any chemical residue exists in the essential oil, e.g., pesticides, herbicides, extenders, and solvents. With this rigorous analysis process, we are able to ensure that all CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils offered by dōTERRA are absolutely pure as nature intended and a step above organic.

NEW YORK (AP) - Voters in the upcoming primary will decide who gets to run for New York City's leadership positions.
They'll be making those choices for the city's future by going back to its past.
For the election on Sept. 10, and a possible run-off on Oct. 1, votes will be cast on old mechanical lever machines.
The state had switched to optical scanners in 2010. But logistical issues developed while getting the scanners ready for the upcoming election.
So the city's Board of Elections got permission from the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to use the lever machines.
Critics are concerned the move could cause confusion among voters and poll workers.

For the fifth straight time ("Changeling," "Gran Torino," "Invictus," "Hereafter," "J. Edgar"), Eastwood helmed a movie expected to have a lot of Oscar clout ... until people saw it and realized it wasn't actually very good. So it's probably time for us to stop expecting greatness, ay? Plus, any acting nominations given to an Eastwood movie aren't because of the director, whose style appears to be, "Do whatever you want."
