Countdown to a Good Night's Sleep
By Herbert Ross, DC, with Keri Brenner, LAc
We spend up to a third of our lives asleep. Although some hard-driving people may view sleep as an inconvenience that curtails productivity and leisure activities, slumber is certainly no waste of time. In fact, sleep may play a more crucial role than diet or exercise in fostering optimal health.
A natural restorative, sleep offers an antidote to the damage done to our bodies during the day. It allows the body to replenish its immune system, eliminate free radicals, and ward off heart disease and mood imbalances. When sleep is disrupted—whether by lifestyle factors, insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, jet lag, sleepwalking, night terrors, hormonal imbalance, or some other disorder—emotional and physiological health suffers.
But you don't have to accept sleep deprivation and the ills that accompany it. Nor must you resort to pharmaceutical sleeping aids, which generally bring on their own set of disabling symptoms. Before you take a tranquilizer, which will invariably mask your symptoms, consider trying these seven natural remedies—they can gently and effectively help you snooze your way back to health.
1. Improve your diet
What you eat definitely influences the quality of your sleep. Fortunately, you have a great deal of control over these factors even though it can sometimes be hard to exercise. Here are the golden rules for a sleep-conducive diet:
• Avoid alcohol consumption or curtail it markedly.
• Avoid caffeine in all forms.
• Identify and eliminate allergenic foods. Common culprits include wheat, eggs, and chocolate, as well as milk and corn.
• Eat to boost levels of tryptophan, a building block for melatonin. To do that, eat an evening or bedtime snack consisting primarily of carbohydrates, but with a small amount of a food rich in tryptophan like turkey, chicken, eggs, dairy products, nuts and seeds, soy products, oatmeal, or bananas.
• Eat more raw vegetables and salad greens.
• Eat whole grains and high-fiber foods, and avoid sugary or processed simple carbohydrates. Whole grains contain many B vitamins, which act as natural sedatives for calming irritability and tension that may hinder deep sleep.
• Eat more protein during the day in the form of moderate amounts of lean meat, seafood, eggs, nuts, brown rice, beans, and avocados. Protein is digested more slowly and doesn't cause an insulin spike, which may interfere with sleep.
• Eat a wide variety of foods to ensure that you are getting sufficient nutrition.
• Be aware of the fat content of foods. Incorporate healthy fats such as olive oil and flaxseed oil, which contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
• Take 1 gram of niacinamide (vitamin B3) at bedtime. This is useful for those who fall sleep easily but awaken and cannot get back to sleep.
• Take 500 mg of chlorella or other algae products at bedtime, as a source of tryptophan.
2. Detoxify your body
Increasingly, researchers have identified toxicity ...

The major theme of the Metamorphoses is introduced in the poem's first sentence: "I want to speak about bodies changed into new forms." The theme of metamorphosis, or change, is the unifying and distinguishing feature of Ovid's work. In lines 1—162 of Book 1, Ovid describes the creation of the world, how the chaos that ruled the universe metamorphosed into the Earth as people know it. Ovid opens with his version of the cosmogony, or the origins of the universe, and follows that with a description of the evolution of the myth of ages and his version of the gigantomachy, or the battle of the giants for control of the universe.
In the beginning was Chaos, a lifeless, warring mass. The great Creator of the universe separates Earth from sky, and from the Earth, Prometheus molds man. What distinguishes man from other living creatures is...

Concert review: Eisley (with Merriment) keeps it all in the family at Off Broadway, Thursday, July 12
Christie Dupree, little sister to the three Eisley sisters, and her brothers Collin and Weston Dupree, who together form Merriment, brought to Off Broadway's stage a set of tunes countrified, ornate and dreamy.
The band stood as a satisfying acoustic counterpart to Eisley, another band of Duprees. After a night of hearing all four Dupree sisters sing, it is easy to see why they are in the music business. "Through the Rough," from the 2012 EP of the same name, played out as a haunting lilt with shades of country strife and clean pedal tones. When Weston's drums dropped after the song's opening, crisp guitar and palm-muted acoustic bled into a delightful swirl.
Merriment closed their set with the distortion-less "Rewind," which featured uptempo drum clicks and Christie's clean, soaring vocals. The girl did not miss a note, even the higher ones that often marked the end of her many heart-wary phrases, like "Takes more than luck to find a love like that." The retro-rockabilly vibe of many of Christie's tunes complemented Eisley with a diminished and un-affected set.
Eisley, the five-member band of Duprees, took the stage with "Smarter" from 2011′s "The Valley." With a left arm full of tattoos, Sherri broke into the song's woodsy power-punk opener, before Stacy King (nee Dupree) took over with a trebly microphone effect on her vocals. "I'm smarter than you think," she declared. On "Lights Out," from 2012′s "Deep Space" EP, cousin Garron's bass accents folded under the whirling chorus and the vocal interplay between King and Sherri with resonant power.
King started into "The Valley" as Weston banged on a hi-hat. The song, concerned with falling in love just to fail to see "everything as right," popped with a darkened surfer vibe and plenty of crystalline "Oh, oh's." I was struck by the number of people clutching cell phone cameras and recorders instead of simply blissing out to the music. "Better Love" offered up indulgent interplay between King and Sherri, who alternated vocals with sisterly understanding: "Make me a better love. Make me better love." Sherri's words often stood out as the biting "fuck-you" sentiments, whereas King's embraced the romantic side, her vocals often distilling heartache and sadness into natural settings with a mystical — and emotionally evasive — mood.
"Marvelous Things" was laid-back, yet deeply concerned about staying, say, with a lover under the moonlight. The song provided a serene scaling chorus that featured both sisters singing in well-timed unison. Someone shouted, "I love you guys!" as Sherri sang about magical things that "give [her] the creeps."
"Laugh it Off," "Watch it Die," and "Please" found Eisley in the middle of their set with a raft of tunes rife with existential quest. During "Sad," dubbed as a "bitter love song" by Sherri, the microphones cut out, leaving the girls mute as their instruments bled over the crowd with a vocal-less power. Soon, the issue was resolved as "Oxygen Mask," "I Could Be There for You" and "Mr Moon" sparked dancing and cheers.
The crowd sang along with Sherri on "I Wasn't Prepared," from 2005′s "Room Noises" until Sherri stopped and declared, "You guys sound awesome." King dropped a fine piano solo as Sherri poured a "come back to me my darling" sentiment into the microphone. "Ambulance" featured King on vocals in the emotional space of being felled by a busted relationship. "Golly Sandra" allowed Eisley to step out of their normal hard-hitting punk grooves with a little country-style a la younger sister Christie.
"Deep Space" marked the end of Eisley's set, a warm bass buzz trailing the band off stage, followed by the audience insisting on a two-song encore. On "192 Days," Chauntelle stood with an acoustic as King and Sherri sang about "preserve[ing] the memory of you and me and our love." "I Wish" finished things out and, compared to its power-house studio counterpart, satisfied in a quiet, sparkling way.
Eisley's final two songs were much sweeter than the majority of Eisley's set, as if the stylistically-different tunes might support a side project for the sisters. I hope to see more of this kind of work from Eisley, who prove they can harness both angst-riddled girl power-punk and emotional, western-style love songs with ease and skill.

Anonymous said: How do you feel about your new status as "gay icons"?
Holmes: Are we icons?
Watson: I'm afraid so.
Holmes: Did we mean to do that?
Watson: I think it just sort of happened when we went public with our relationship.
Holmes: Well, I can't say I'm entirely comfortable with it. I don't know how loving one man qualifies me to represent an entire demographic. Shouldn't one have to put in some time in the gay trenches first?
Watson: What exactly are the "gay trenches?" The sales floor at Abercrombie? It doesn't matter, Sherlock. We did something that was inspirational to a lot of people.
Holmes: That's not why we did it, though.
Watson: No. But nobody who's really inspirational gets up one day and decides to go do something that'll be inspirational. They do what they think is right as best they can, and it ends up being inspirational by default.
Holmes: And if it had gone horribly wrong, would we be a cautionary tale instead?
Watson: Probably.
Holmes: Then perhaps people should look elsewhere for inspiration.
Watson: Where?
Holmes: How should I know? Maybe they ought to look to themselves. That's where I got mine, from myself and from you.

Bringing a Car to Mexico
Temporary Importation of Automobiles Into Mexico
There is no special permit needed to drive your car across the border, as long as you plan to stay within the "Border Zone" or "Free Trade Zone" which extends to approximately 25 miles into Mexico, and will remain in this part of Mexico for less than 72 hours. However, the Mexican Customs may impound and arrest the passengers for Contraband if the vehicle registration is not current. Beyond that point, the government of Mexico strictly regulates the entry of vehicles into Mexico and a special permit is needed. Failure to obtain the required permit may result in the seizure of your vehicle, a fine, and jail time.
Information on procedures for taking your car into Mexico is available from the Embassy of Mexico. Additional information, including the ability to make pre-arrangements for your car permit at some Mexican Consulates in the U.S., can be found on the individual consulate's websites. Consult the lising for the Mexican Consulate nearest you. Permits are available at all of the international bridges serving the region covered by U.S. Consulate Nuevo Laredo. For additional information, contact the Mexican Consulate in Laredo, TX.
Note: Do not forget to return your permit when you leave Mexico. Failure to do so may bar you from getting a new permit in the future for the same or any other vehicle.

Lower refinancing mortgage loan rates should be only one factor influencing your decision. Only by looking at refinancing from every angle can you be sure it's a wise financial decision.
Massachusetts refinancing rates and terms are based in large part on "loan to value" (LTV). LTV is simply the ratio of unpaid mortgage principal to home value. (For example, if you owe $150,000 in principal on a home valued at $250,000, then your LTV is 60%). The higher your LTV, the greater a risk you are to lenders.
So how do you determine your home's value? Obtain a professional appraisal. Usually your lender will arrange this. There are typically two types of home appraisals:
As a rule, Massachusetts refinancing lenders require you to have paid down at least 20% of the appraised value of your home.
A good credit rating (even if you have a high loan balance) will usually work in your favor. In fact, some lenders may allow borrowers with excellent credit scores to refinance to an LTV of as high as 95%.
Lenders will assess your debt-to-income ratio by comparing your monthly, pre-tax income with your total monthly debt obligations-including any additional debt you'd take on when you refinance.
Like your mortgage, there are additional costs involved in refinancing home loans. They include (but aren't limited to):
Ask your lender for an itemized list of costs to expect when you refinance.
No matter how attractive Massachusetts refinancing rates may appear, your break-even point will tell you if it's worth it. Follow these three steps:
Costs of refinancing---------------------------- = BREAK-EVEN POINTMonthly savings
For example, if your costs are $6,000 and your monthly payments will be $200 less, then it will take 30 months for your savings to balance out your costs. Your break-even point is 30 months.
So if you plan to stay in your home for more than 30 months, then this particular mortgage will save you money over the long term. But if you expect to move within the next 30 months, you'll actually lose money refinancing.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
Once you've heard the insight--that startups are different from big companies--it seems so obvious. Yet too often entrepreneurs, and those that teach them, approach the building of new companies with the same goals, staff structures and assumptions that motivate the management of large companies. Startup founders build teams to focus on engineering, and on the process of creating a product and bringing it to market.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.

PLAYERS: Ryan Fitzpatrick, C.J. Spiller
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills
BY DAN BEGNOCHEQuarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his fair share of missed opportunities downfield in the Buffalo's Bills' loss on Sunday. That seems to be becoming a nasty habit for the veteran signal-caller.While Fitzpatrick connected with wide receiver Stevie Johnson for a 63-yard strike that lead to a field goal, he missed more than one deep throw that could have turned the game around.The most apparent of those misses was an overthrown pass to running back C.J. Spiller on a free play after the Colts jumped offsides. (photo: Matt Britt, Flickr)"I get them to jump offsides and I miss C.J. Then we have a down the field shot to Donald (Jones) we do not complete," Fitzpatrick told reporters. "Being able to hit those big plays would help."The problem may be two-fold when it comes to those big plays. For one, Buffalo has cut down on its downfield shots this year compared to years past. Fitzpatrick has attempted more than 50 passes of 20 yards or more in each of past two years, a...

Tell me what you'd rather die for than lose.
If you asked me I'd say you.
Tell me what you'd rather die for than lose.
For someone that claimed to once love me you seem to do everything in your power to continuously hurt me
Can you fix my broken heart?
I've tried to bandage the damage
It takes one simple step to fix me
But you refuse to move
Stuck in your concrete shoes.
Fade Away
I tried so hard to make you fade away
But in my thoughts you continue to stay
Haunting me with memories of pain
Taunting me with the idea that things could go back to the same-
The same way they were before you and me
Before I knew how cruel the world could be
Take me back to my days of innocence
Give me back my days of sweet ignorance.
I pray the dark cloud that is you will fade away
So that by chance i can once again be hit by the happiness of a sun ray
Pretty Lies
You painted me a picture, a beautiful world
How could I know it would all to soon become unfurled.
Those pretty lies you fed my soul
have now begun to take their tole
Those pretty lies of love and forever
were simply your tools to gain a quick pleasure.
Those special words I thought were only for me
turned out to be used on all those in your company.
How I wish I still lived in the days of believing your pretty lies.
I miss the days of not seeing through your deceitful guise.
For ignorance is always bliss
Especially when it holds promises of giving me back everything I miss.
But I can't let go of the fact that your pretty lies were nothing but lies
And so it has become my heart's demise
You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see,
But you cannot close your heart to things you don't want to feel.
Forever up
Forever down
Forever my mind wanders around.
Not knowing what to be
Not knowing what to feel
I search so hard to hear a sound.
A sign
An indication
of what to do with my life
Let me be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds.
Don't let the unknown be the anchor that pulls you back to the ground.
Stay here with me a little longer.
Just breathe and let out love grow stronger,
Because one day there may be no more me and you
And so I cherish each precious day with you.
To wish for you to feel the same
would only undoubtedly cause me pain.
For if I must wish for how you feel
I'm wishing for something that isn't real.
So love me please with all your heart
If nothing at least so that mine doesn't fall apart.

The Next Wave Of Blockbuster Diabetes Drugs
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Note: This article previously misstated the current status of Johnson & Johnson's drug, canagliflozin. The error has been corrected.
Pharmaceutical companies have traditionally relied on patented drugs as a path to profits. This is changing as many blockbuster treatments have gone through patent expiration and others are following suit. Companies seem to employ three strategies to cope with this:
1) Pursue new, patentable drug treatments through internal R&D
2) Embrace generic competition and generic drug production
3) Acquire new, patentable drugs from other companies
The first two strategies are defensible and potentially investable, while the last one can be treacherous. Acquisitions can be expensive. Investors should try to find pharmaceutical companies with promising internal pipelines trading at reasonable valuations.
Diabetes Treatments: The Next Blockbusters
Diabetes and obesity are health nightmares, and drug companies could potentially make huge profits by developing treatments. Many pharmaceutical companies are trying to add such drugs to their portfolios.
Recently, the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted 10 – 5 on Jan. 10 to recommend approval for Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE: JNJ) proposed diabetes treatment canagliflozin. There was some concern about canagliflozin increasing the risk of heart problems within 30 days of taking the drug. Johnson & Johnson hopes this pill will become a new diabetic medicine that does not have the side effects of other diabetes treatments.
Thirteen heart events occurred during the 30 day trial on canagliflozin, and only one occurred on placebo. Furthermore, the drug fueled an increase in bad cholesterol levels, which is not favorable for the heart. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) staff said, "It is unclear whether this is a spurious finding or a true increased risk of early CV events." Statistics obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that diabetes is the seventh deadliest disease in the U.S. By 2012, 26 million people had been affected by this disease. It is characterized by high levels of blood sugar.
More risks can mean more required testing and a delayed launch. Lawrence Biegelesen, a Senior Medical Device Equity Research Analyst at Wells Fargo (WFC), in his note to clients, insisted on the importance of speeding the risk assessment process, as further delays could have a negative impact on Johnson & Johnson's market position. On his note, he said "A first-to-market position is an important marketing advantage in this arena."
Johnson & Johnson hopes to sell canagliflozin under a different name, Invokana. This strategy worked well for Merck (NYSE: MRK) when it conducted clinical trials for its second-best selling drug, Januvia and another drug known as glimepiride. Ernie Knewitz, a spokesman for Janssen, said "Results from our nine Phase 3 studies suggest that canagliflozin has the potential to help control blood sugar levels in a wide range of people with Type 2 diabetes while also offering other possible benefits like weight loss and reductions in blood pressure."
According to Osama Hamdy, director of the Obesity and inpatient diabetes programs, Joslin Diabetes Center, there are 11 sets of drugs for diabetes on the market and they work by stimulating insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin helps in regulating the blood sugar level.
Teva Redefining Women's Healthcare
Instead of developing blockbuster drugs, some companies are trying to reposition themselves by redefining areas of healthcare. According to Jeremy Levin, Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: TEVA) Chief Executive Officer, plans are underway to increase the company's research work in Women's health beyond the current focus on fertility. In an interview conducted at the annual healthcare conference in San Francisco, Levin said, "Contraception is really important, fertility is important, but there are many other diseases…Nobody has taken leadership; this is where we want to go."
The new plan that Levin unveiled to investors in December indicated that more focus will be directed to certain areas like respiratory problems, and neurology in female healthcare. Teva, the world's number one generic drug manufacturer, estimates its revenue from women health sales will increase by 6% this year. Some of the drugs that are to be manufactured by the Israel based Petach Tikva include oral contraceptives and hormonal drugs for menopause. The CEO added further that that Teva may consider venturing into fibroid treatment as it affects many women when they at their peak of their reproductive years. Symptoms include painful menstruation and discomfort during sexual intercourse.
A report released by Teva in October at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine indicates successful final tests results for Milprosa. This is a weekly analysis for women who are put through vitro fertilization. The company's best-selling product, Copaxone, which generated 21% of its third quarter revenue, will lose patent protection in 2015. It also faces stiff competition from other newly developed oral medicine. During a Q&A session, Levin said, "Our understanding of women's health stems from that. It's a huge opportunity. Women are great consumers of medicines, they understand what it is that they need to make themselves happier and healthier."
Valuation Diagnosis
Among big drug stocks, there are some that stick out as being cheap for their projected earnings growth:
Teva is one stock that is trading at a reasonable 15.45 price multiple while having projected earnings growth near 9%. It also has the lowest price-to-sales ratio and price-to-book ratio of stocks on this list. In contrast, Merck and Johnson & Johnson are much more expensive than their peers with the nearest growth projections
Based both on strategy and valuation, Teva is a buy candidate worthy of further research.

ECU Tune Gives E63 AMG A Healthy Horsepower Bump
Even with the current crop of high performance AMG variants, it seems inevitable that even owners of these cars will look for additional performance. Ever since Mercedes-Benz took AMG into its corporate wing, the company has shed its staid image, to the point that today, Mercedes AMG variants have a following as rabid as those of M-badged cars from BMW. One owner who took the big risk of voiding his warranty has reported an outstanding result from an ECU tune. Unlike the early days of tuning engine control units, there are now a number of reliable vendors who have done the necessary R&D and real-world testing to produce tunes that… Continue Reading »

Enjoyed a fun night at the Circus with my DD and DH, only bad thing....way overpriced ($12 for a cotton candy, so needless to say the DD passed on that) and way toooo many people, I have never seen so many people in all my life. Sheesh, but it was nice to get out as a family.
I knew I was going to be home alone all day on Friday so I decided to make sure I was not tempted to open the snack cabinet in my house. Hey, whatever it takes, right? Glad to report, it remained un-opened by me all weekend.
Fri: Enjoyed a great day off, got in a 5-mile run first thing and then worked outside in the yard for about 3 hours, just enjoying the sunshine and a super calorie burn of 1300, woo hoo. Day was fantastic, even included an afternoon siesta in the sun on my lawn chair.
Sat: Went to visit a friend in NC, spent most of day laying out on the deck by the pond catching up on the latest, Great time.
Sun: More sunshine, worked on the tan and watched a movie, followed by a great family dinner.
Overall I rate the weekend a total success: great eating and got in all my workouts for the week.
Started out the week with a bang . I woke up at 0429, one minute before my alarm was supposed to go off. I got up, no smacking the snooze and jumped into the running gear and headed out the door. Not such a great run, wasn't "feelin it" this morning, so I cut it a bit short. Feeling like I let myself down on that one, but hey....I GOT UP and went, so I will call that a huge SUCCESS. Going for a repeat tomorrow. And for all the doubters out there who said I would never get up this morning - HAHAHA, pay up...
Hope everyone's week is off to a great start.
Getting buff NO E X C U S E S.
P.S. I am still boycotting the scale, decided to give it up until May 1st. Tired of being defined by a number.
I came home from work last night to an empty house, DH and DD were going to be working really late, so that left me HOME ALONE.
Hmmm, what was I going to do, being home alone. First off I changed into my workout clothes because I knew I could do whatever workout I wanted for as long as I wanted, without interruption, woo hoo.
Put in the 10-Minute Tony Horton Workout - did two of those, Abs and Total Body, when I was done, I had only used up about half hour so I thought to myself again, hmmmmmm let's keep this party going.
I popped this in the Wii.
I immediately thought of my SP buddy SAMI199, always encouraging me to be moving and grooving, love ya SAMI, you got me inspired for some moving and shaking tonight. I know once she reads this blog today, she's gonna be moving and grooving, thanks to me for getting these crazy songs stuck in her head, lol and you're welcome.
Started out with a warm up....Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Had to do my favorite one, Cotton Eye Joe, if you put in some extra hops and skips it really gets the ole heart pumping.
Feeling great so I had to crank up the volume and crank up the intensity (doing the running man )....
Keeping that heart rate up, oooh yeah baby, busting some moves, finishing it off with some...you guessed it, it's Hammer Time...Can't Touch This
Hope that was a great visual for you all, lol. I really enjoyed myself... loud music and sweating to the 80's. Woo hoo.
Now after all that I was running low on energy so I whipped up a pizza for dinner so DH would have something to eat when he came home. Went on with the nightly chores, etc. layed down in bed to watch a Titanic special on PBS, out by 8:30 - such a party animal I am. But that was short lived, DH and DD arrived home at 9:00 so I was up with them for a bit. Little did they know that the poor tired mom they were looking at now had earlier been busting some serious dance moves while they were gone, raising the roof. Heck yeah. Shhhh, don't tell them.
Today is "run" day - 4 mile easy run tonight, can't wait.
Getting buff NO E X C U S E S.
(Pics compliments of google)
We had some leftover grilled onions and peppers in the frig from Sunday's dinner so I thought what better to go with them than a steak. I put my running clothes on and told DH I'd be back in a flash to get dinner started. Got in a quick 4.5 miler, the entire time I was envisioning the yummy steaks the DH was cooking on the grill - hurry home I kept thinking, didn't want to keep those steaks waiting, lol. I made it home in record time, I keep a pretty fast pace considering I was running directly into a 20 mph wind, sheesh that was hard work. I got home to this....
3 oz of steak smothered with onions and peppers, a 1/4 of a baked potato and a super yummy salad with the works.
Hey....You know what rhymes with 7 0 2.
That's the number of calories I torched during my pre-dinner run, woo hoo for 702.
Tonights workout is a 30-Minute Tony DVD, no running today. I was so angry this morning with the scale it said I gained three pounds since yesterday, well pooh, I just can't believe the crazy fluctations in the numbers so I am staying off of it until next Monday. Darn that thing.
Getting buff NO E X C U S E S.
It Really Happened: Friday's long run really happened, I made it the entire 7.5 miles and my hip was just fine. Woo Hoo, hope this is an indication of things to come. Time wise it was a little slow but heck, I did it and that's all that counts. What a great feeling, which was short lived because of the next incident, read on....
It Really Happened: Had to take our weedeater to the repair shop after my long run, what a totally hair raising experience. I was on the interestate, doing 60 mph and a 6-foot ladder came flying out of the bed of the pick-up truck in front of me. I had only seconds to react, I couldn't slam on brakes because there was someone on my tail, I couldn't swerve into the right lane because there was another car there so my only choice was to straddle the latter, I manuevered the best I could but ended up with the ladder stuck under the right front of the car, I pulled over when it was safe, put on the flashers and was like totally speechless, Holy cow, that was absolutely terrifying. Now what to do about getting the ladder from underneath the car. My sis got out and we managed to cut the wheel sharp enough so she could pull the ladder out, sheesh it was scary. DH checked out the car when I got home, thank goodness it only scuffed the oil pan and nicked the rim on my tires - it could have been so much worse, and the dumb-dumb driving the pick-up just kept going despite my laying on the horn. What an idiot, he was a working guy too - so he knew better about tying down his equipment properly, he had other ladders tied to the truck, but this one was not and just flew right out. Hope he felt the pain of missing a ladder when he got to the job site, if only he knew he almost caused a bad wreck. Lesson learned: never, ever follow a pick up truck for any reason, ya never who what might come flying out of the back.
I was a nervious wreck after the ladder episode but we headed to the movies and I figured I could relax and unwind at the theater. My DD and I went to see Titanic in 3-D, not really that spectacular in 3-D but still a great movie.
It Really Happened: While we were in the movie my phone kept buzzing, I had it on vibrate in my purse but I didn't check it just left it in there. After the movie was over I checked my phone and there were text messages from about 10 people asking if I was OK? I was scratching my head wondering why everyone is asking, but I left the theater and got in the car. I was heading home and I heard on the radio there was an F-18 crash right up the street from us. Holy cow, that's why everyone was asking if I was OK, they wanted to make sure I wasn't in the path of that jet. Thank goodness we weren't and thank GOD no one was killed during that crash. It is being called the Good Friday Miracle around here and I believe it's just that, a MIRACLE. I drove by the wreckage site on Saturday, and it was total devastation of the apartments it hit, but no one was killed.
It Really Happened: Hubby and I actually went out on a Saturday night [that hardly ever happens], we went to visit some friends we hadn't seen in a while, we sat outside around a nice fire pit and chatted about what we've been up too, and before ya know it was 1:00 in the morning, WOW we had a great time.
It Really Happened: A lovely, relaxing day on Sunday. The Easter Bunny left this for me - three new lawn chairs.
Thanks honey bunny.
Great weather today, 5 mile run tonight when I get home.
Getting buff NO E X C U S E S.
So excited to go to the movies with my daughter tomorrow- we have had this "date" on our calendars for months now. We have seen Titanic a million times, but never in 3-D and she was too young to see it in theaters years ago. I had a little fun with FB this morning, here's a pic of me on the bow of the Titanic, lol.
OK, that was my brief moment of fame, posing with Leonardo DiCaprio, now time for me to get off this ship and get on with my day.
I survived Papa John's Pizza last night, we had to grab something quick since we are my grandson's baseball game - sorry to say their team got whipped, but my grandson had a great night of hitting and made a couple of nice plays, anyway I didn't over eat and I even had room for one miniature Reese egg. I had thrown a few in my purse for my DH to snack on at the game, yes he's like a little kid, I have to bring him snacks, but I refused to eat one until I could get home and see the calorie count on the package. Yeah for me, I waited til I got home, only 80 calories so I had ONLY ONE, a tiny splurge.
Today's workout is 30-minute Tony - got to work in the ST for the week, woo hoo and tomorrow I am looking forward to a 7-mile run with sis. I have been saving the hip/leg to be able to do this run this week, lots of stretching. I'm ready, bring it on. Saturday I will do some yoga to relax after a long week.
A quiet upcoming weekend, hope everyone has a great holiday.

Tipping Etiquette
Whether it be your child's teacher or your mailman, you want to do something nice for those who make the year easier for you. Here is our guide to what to get for those people.
You don't need to give an occasional sitter a holiday tip. But if she's really gone above and beyond the call of duty or if you use the same babysitter often during the year, you should reward her for her hard work. -Gifts.com
You can tip your babysitter, but they might prefer a gift card. iTunes makes a perfect gift for a teenager.
If your babysitter is off to college soon, they might prefer a Target gift card or a card to anywhere to help furnish their dorm room.
A girl of any age loves to shop for makeup. Your babysitter might like a gift certificate to Sephora or somewhere they can get a makeover.
Avoid kid-oriented presents like a new baby carrier or diaper bag. A personal note or creation from your child might be what they appreciate most.
A babysitter, nanny or daycare worker might appreciate something sentimental from your child, such as a painting or drawing your child created.
A simple thank you note from you and your child would be a great gift for your child's babysitter daycare worker.
Check your school's policy because gift giving might be against the rules. Gifts are usually given when your child has one teacher all day. Don't feel obligated to buy presents for everyone. -Gifts.com
A daycare worker or nanny might also appreciate a gift card to somewhere not related to their profession, where they can spoil themselves.
A house plant could be the perfect addition to a teacher's classroom, and a great way to say thank you to your child's teacher.
For a teacher, they would appreciate the whole class chipping in and getting them something like a cooking class.
If you want to make the effort to get the class together to buy a present, something like a Kindle Fire could be great for a teacher as well.
USPS carrier: Non-cash tips up to $20, civil servants are not allowed to receive cash tips.
USPS mail carriers are not allowed to accept cash tips, but can accept non-cash items up to $20. To reward their journey through snow, sleet and rain, you could get them a gift certificate to a coffee shop near their route.
Because they can't accept cash, something homemade works for a mail carrier, such as cookies.
For any mailman, cold-weather clothing is always a great gift, especially if you knitted it yourself.
An added non-cash token of appreciation, such as a letter or email your postal carrier's supervisor might be even more meaningful than a present.
Assistant: It depends on your position within the company and how long the employee has been with you. Ask for advice from others within the office. Try staying away from things too personal, like clothes or perfume.
A stylish home accent would be a nice, but not-too-personal gift for an assistant.
Tickets for a music or athletic event for your assistant, based on their interests.
If you've ever wondered what to tip the people in your life, we break it down for you here. From child-care workers to employees, find out what to give those who make your life an easier place.
Below is a list of all workers where it is appropriate to tip cash, with your budget for each position.
Doorman: $10-100 each. You can choose which amounts you'd like to tip each doorman, based on how they serve you.
Building maintenance worker: $10-100. Consider cash, because many building workers and landlords are required to count their tips as income. Also consider tipping throughout the year.
Dog Walker: One to two week's pay is appropriate. Or, consider a gift certificate for a pedicure.
Garbage Collector: $15-30.
Personal Trainer: $60-100 upon reaching goal, or cost of one session. If you're adding a gift to your tip, stay away from chocolates, candy or anything else that isn't health-conscious.
Hairstylist: Cost of one haircut. If the same person that cuts your hair also colors and styles your hair, you may want to give more.
Fed Ex or UPS carrier: Less than $75. Each company has their own rules, so make sure to do your homework first.

Graffiti (singular: graffito): writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place.
Since ancient times people have etched their names into walls and rocks, 'tagging' themselves into their environment, an act that for the most part has been seen as a blight, an act of vandalism frowned upon by the establishment. When you think about graffiti you might imagine the jagged, neon letters of a gang's name marking out their turf in a subway tunnel but one visit to the 5 Pointz museum should be enough to convince you that there's much more to the world of graffiti than hurriedly sprayed nametags.
5 Pointz is the world's largest display of graffiti art, a warehouse in Long Island City, New York which for the past twenty years has been used as a giant canvas for the world's top street artists, a glorious explosion of colour amidst rows of dull brown industrial buildings; this amazing piece of art represents a history of the past twenty years of graffiti and is more than worth a visit if you happen to be in New York, it's also completely free.
Artists from all over the world flock to this constantly evolving tribute to an art-form and it's impossible not to be blown away when you first lay eyes on the exhibit, your mind scrabbling to comprehend so many different styles on such a massive scale. Each wall of the warehouse offers up the creative visions of countless artists, providing hours worth of incredible art to consume for those with the time to spare.
Originally known as The Phun Factory, 5 Pointz was initially set up by a New York group known as the Graffiti Terminators in an effort to have graffiti artists display their work in one agreed upon area, giving them a space to work in whilst keeping the rest of the city free from their tags, somewhere they could express themselves without constantly worrying about the police.
As the site developed and grew in stature it was taken on and officially curated by Jonathan Cohen, known as Meres One in the graffiti World, who now demands samples of artist's work before they can display. Over the years 5 Pointz has gone from representing the five boroughs of New York to encapsulating a flourishing global scene with artists from Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan, Brazil and all over the U.S painting at the site. These artists include big names in the graffiti world such as Stay High 149, Tracy 168, Cope2, Part, SPE, and TATS CRU. Images include beautiful works by Japanese artist Shiro and French painter Djalouz. The building is laid out with works by 'old school' artists occupying the top floors while newer artists constantly change the look of the lower levels.
As you wander around you'll come across beautifully rendered Japanese concubines, Picasso-esque cubist landscapes, the amazing 'Eat or be Eaten' by Austrian artist Onur, a giant sleeping woman by Chilean artist Dasic and my personal favourite Esteban del Valle's amazing tribute to Jean Cocteau's 1946 film adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, an incredible piece of art that brings to mind the visual style of film director Guillermo del Toro, most especially his work in Pan's Labyrinth. It's easy to get caught up in the works as they interweave with each other, every patch of wall you lay your eyes on telling a different story. Who knew graffiti had so many wildly varying and diverse styles?
Tourists take pictures of the incredibly detailed works on the outer walls while groups of school kids sit with textbooks open learning about this unique art style while attempting to create their own graffiti tags. It's a hive of activity, an amazing venue to learn about the history and shifting styles of this oft-derided art style, one which, with the likes of Banksy now a household name, has shed some of its illicit reputation over the past decade.
Sadly, following 2009 inspections by city services the warehouse and art studios that make up 5 Pointz were condemned for various safety reasons and plans have now been put in place to bulldoze the site to build $400million worth of luxury flats on the site. A sad end seems unavoidable for this amazing, important piece of New York art history, a highlight of any trip to the city, 5 Pointz is a monument to graffiti art that you should consider catching soon, before it disappears forever.

It displays up to 5,000 events and offers centralized system management, event monitoring in real time, photo ID import, and the ability to create access levels and schedules. Should security needs grow, a business can migrate to an OnGuard integrated security system while preserving the goEntry data and hardware investment.

Before & After: Small Space Vanity
With a little convincing, a close friend recently converted her tiny front room into a fabulous walk-in closet. Because of all the natural light it was also an ideal spot for a small vanity, but finding one the right size was nearly impossible. As luck would have it, an old side table and a little problem solving went a long way. See the perfectly pretty transformation here!
The table was selected because of its diminutive scale, which was absolutely necessary in such a tight space. Of course, the table's tininess extended to its height as well, and that was an issue that needed to be addressed in order to make it work as a vanity. Rather than finding some way to extend the legs, the decision was made to install the piece directly into the wall at the correct height. To facilitate the look, a portion of the front legs were sawed off just below the shelf area. The whole thing was then lightly sanded, cleaned and spray-painted white.
Using special drywall screws and plugs, the unit was secured into the wall just below a glamorous vintage mirror. The table's bottom shelf proved especially handy for holding the various beauty supplies one might have, and the raised acrylic platform provides an additional level of small-space-storage!

Cute idea... but it looks sort of odd, don't you think? There needs to be some sort of 'finishing' to the bottom of the legs, perhaps.
I appreciate the effort, but it looks like set dressing from a haunted house -- the eerie, hovering vanity.
Extending the legs would help the look. You can buy unfinished wood legs at any hardware store, like these from Lowe's. They wouldn't need a lot of structural integrity if the table is already anchored to the wall.
Cutting off the feet and mounting it on the wall looks incredibly odd.
I think its positively adorable. And I am sure that with a little chair in front of it the "oddness" of it floating in space would disappear.

Matthew, that's far from the only typo in the article. Just as any resume with an error will be shitcanned, it's hard to take you seriously as an authority on ANY subject if you can't even be bothered to run a simple spellchecker over your work before posting it. Maybe even have someone else proofread it.

About Java, JDeveloper, OEPE and Oracle OSB & SOA suite
Updated: 19 hours 38 min ago
Test your WebLogic 12.1.3 enviroment with Robot
Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework which has an easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and it utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach. This means we can write our tests in readable and understandable text. If we combine this with the REST Management interface of WebLogic 12.1.3 we are able to test every detail of a WebLogic domain configuration and when we combine this
Create with WLST a SOA Suite, Service Bus 12.1.3 Domain
When you want to create a 12.1.3 SOA Suite, Service Bus Domain, you have to use the WebLogic config.sh utility. The 12.1.3 config utility is a big improvement when you compare this to WebLogic 11g. With this I can create some complex cluster configuration without any after configuration. But if you want to automate the domain creation and use it in your own (provisioning) tool/script then you
Test your Application with the WebLogic Maven plugin
In this blogpost I will show you how easy it is to add some unit tests to your application when you use Maven together with the 12.1.3 Oracle software ( like WebLogic , JDeveloper or Eclipse OEPE). To demonstrate this, I will create a RESTful Person Service in JDeveloper 12.1.3 which will use the Maven project layout. We will do the following: Create a Project and Application based on a Maven
Maven support for 12.1.3 Service Bus & SOA Suite artifacts
With the 12.1.3 release of Oracle Service Bus and Oracle SOA Suite we finally can build all our soa projects with Maven. And this time we can do it natively without calling a utility like configjar or ANT from Maven . We start by setting all the required variables like JAVA_HOME,M2_HOME and PATH export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/jre export M2_HOME=

Fridge in the end zone
AP Photo/Amy Sancetta
Chicago Bears' William "The Refrigerator" Perry spikes the ball after scoring a touchdown in Super Bowl XX in New Orleans, La., in this Jan. 26, 1986 file photo. The Bears won 46-10.
He's the highest scoring appliance in NFL history. But William "Refrigerator" Perry's one-yard TD plunge in Super Bowl XX proved controversial because it denied Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton a chance at the only big game score of his stellar career. The Fridge, an ample rookie who topped the scales at 340 pounds, made an otherwise one-sided game memorable by plowing through the hapless Patriots and falling into the end zone for a fourth quarter major.
Coach Mike Ditka later admitted that he regretted not creating a scoring chance for Payton. Either way, the Perry Plunge worked out better than the Fridge's only other touch that day, an incomplete pass.
