Hair Care
My friend warned me that my hair would drop once I stopped breastfeeding, but it's actually so severe that I have a visible bald spot at the top of my head. How can I prevent further loss?
Your hair loss may not be directly due to the breastfeeding, but rather due to your pregnancy, a condition known as post-partum hair loss. This condition is quite common among women after childbirth and the hair loss usually ceases within 3 to 6 months time.
While waiting for your hair to regain its original glory, it is important avoid anything that would further traumatize it, example hair perming or straightening, tight pony tail or braiding and hard-brushing. Should the hair loss persist after 6 months, do check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of other health problems such as low thyroid function, iron deficiency anemia or any scalp disorders.
I've permed and straightened my hair quite a few times and I'm finding that my hair is brittle now and snaps off easily. Is there a treatment I can use to repair my hair?
Water deficiency is the main reason for your hair to be brittle. The frequent use of hot curling iron and hair straighteners can damage hair easily as the high heat involved strips off water from the hair, hence keep those hair procedures to the minimum. If these tools are unavoidable, always remember to use the lowest possible heat setting to minimize any damage.
To manage and repair your brittle hair, the hair must be maintained in a hydrated state. Choose a suitable conditioner for your hair type and use as often as twice weekly. When using a conditioner, apply enough to cover the whole hair portions while gently massaging your scalp. Leave the conditioner on for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off. Some hair products in the form of gel, spray or mousse are available in the market, specifically for brittle hair.
So as the old people saying "It's always good to start from the roots", you may want to tackle your brittle hair beneath their roots. Some supplements have been shown to improve the well being of your hair. The group of B vitamins has been shown to help prevent hair loss, prevent graying of hair and promote scalp circulation while the anti-oxidants vitamin A, C and E may improve scalp circulation, hence leading to healthier hair. Two amino acids in particular, L-Cysteine and L-methionine have been shown to improve the quality and texture of hair besides aiding in hair growth. Do check with your healthcare professionals on the availability of such supplements specially formulated for hair.
I have naturally fine and thin hair – are there any products that I can use to boost hair thickness or hair growth?
Looks like you have two hair problems here, FINE hair and THIN hair. In layman terms, FINE and THIN are often used interchangeably to describe the hair. In actual fact, FINE hair simply means each strand of hair lacks the diameter while THIN hair refers to the collective lack of hair on your head. Therefore, people can either have one of the conditions or both. Whichever condition you are referring to, your hair will be more susceptible to damages from chemical procedures or the environment. In addition, you will have problems finding a hairstyle that suits you as both situations will result in a "flatter hairstyle".
Often, FINE hair is inborn but some other factors can lead to thin hair as well such as illness, after childbirth or malnutrition. There is no treatment for FINE hair but you can mask it by using products which is specifically labeled with "for fine hair" or "volumising" wordings. Some products contain protein that clings onto the hair and makes the hair looks thicker while some other swells the hair up.
If you are born with THIN hair, there is nothing that you can do about it except to find a suitable hairstyle that suits you or prevent further thinning of your hair. However, if your hair progressively thins with time, it maybe contributed by one or more factors, such as aging, physical or emotional factors, medicines or radiation therapy, hereditary, environment and illnesses. Do check with your healthcare professionals to rule out some of the possibility of the hair loss and avoid factors which can contribute to the hair thinning. Hair medicine containing Minoxidil ranging from 2 to 5% has been shown to help in hair thinning and it is available as a pharmacy only medication in most major pharmacies.
Help! I'm greying! I don't have time to sit in a salon for three hours colouring my hair – how do I pick a good wash-and-wear hair-colour that will hide my greys well? (Can we feature L'Oreal Excellence?)
Not even three hours during the weekends? You are indeed a busy woman. Just remember in mind, no one particular hair colour product is suitable for all people. Just go to any reputable pharmacy, departmental store or hair salon and for a start, pick one that is not so pricy. Choose a brand that that offers you your favorite colour, but do bear in mind that not all colours are suitable for your skin type. Other factors to consider is the ease of application, the time involved and the presence of positive or negative feedback from users. Do read the label to detect any substance that you are allergic to before purchasing. In general, always try some of the products on small part of your hair to check for any allergic reaction before applying onto a larger area.
My hair has a life of its own. I would straighten it absolutely to perfection but the middle I step out of the house into the humidity my hair becomes all frizzy! What's a good product to use to keep my hair sleek?
Controlling frizzy hair is not always easy to do. Humidity plays a role in how frizzy your hair is especially when it's naturally thick or curly. There are many other factors that can contribute to frizzy hair as well, for example excessive hair treatment which leads to the loss of hair's natural ability to retain moisture, overexposure to heat, inappropriate conditioner use and chemical damage.
There is nothing you can do to alter the humidity of the air but you can definitely prevent your hair from getting frizzy. You can pamper your hair with a moisturizing shampoo for a start but keep to a minimum as excessive shampoo use may tend to dry up the hair. Then use a conditioner as often as possible and try to leave on the conditioner after shampooing for at least 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing it off.
If your hair is damaged or too dry, you may want to invest on some leave-on conditioner that will allow you to fix your frizz anytime in the day. Besides that, you can also use products known as anti-frizz serum or spray. The leave-on conditioner or anti-frizz products should be applied onto your hair while it is still slightly damp.
Still cannot find a good product to control the frizz, just learn to accept and love the way your hair is. You can still mask your frizzy hair through a good hair cut. Check with your hairstylist for a hair cut that suits frizzy hair; a blunt cut is usually more suitable for this type of hair.

The suggested retail price is $4.79, but my local Burger King has them for $4.99. Fortunately, Burger King has a buy one, get one free coupon online, so I tried both the grilled and crispy versions.
I'm not sure what "artisan-style" means. Artisan, or artisanal, bread brings to mind someone making bread slow and steady with great care, which doesn't really work if you have to mass produce tens of thousands of buns (or more) and get them to where they're going. Regardless, Burger King's artisan-style bun is similar to brioche bread though not quite as rich or buttery. It has a denser, more substantial feel than your standard burger bun, while still remaining soft. The density holds up better to sauces without soaking them in.
The sauce was pretty good, tangy with a decent, seasoned sweetness, as well as a thick consistency that clung to the bun. If you like your chicken parmesan with a lot of sauce, it was used judiciously on mine, with enough for flavor for every bite while keeping it neat and tidy.
regular menu chicken sandwiches), but pretty good and really the only chicken parmesan burger-type deal you're going to find at a fast food chain. If the parmesan had a better bite to it and the crispy chicken was consistently crispy and juicy, I'd say it was excellent.

"You wanna stay over tonight?"
"Ronnie, you know I can't do that."
"You can't? Or you won't?"
"Aww, why?" I looked at Ronnie.
"Because I am not your groupie, I am your band manager." As I turned back around to look over some papers, Ronnie walked up next to me and crossed his arms.
"You know, you don't have to work all the time Ashley..." Ronnie grinned as he twirled the ends of my chocolate brown hair. "You could have a personal life every once in a while." I sighed and looked at my watch, realizing the time.
"Ronnie, don't you have band practice now?" he groaned like a little child, and I gave a chuckle.
"Are you gonna come watch?" he asked.
"Of course, I do all the time." Ronnie stood up straight and looked me in my eyes, smiling. He stroked my cheek, and gave me a hug.
"Please...think about it, alright?" he whispered in my ear before letting go of me, as if it was a secret. I smirked as I walked by his side.
"Already have, and it's not going to happen."
"How long are you gonna make me wait, Ashley? I mean, I have feelings for you, and I think you may feel the same for me. So why can't this work out?"
"Because when it comes to love, I am interested in actual relationships, whereas you are interested in one night stands." I explained to Ronnie.
"Yes, but we've known each other for 6 years. Do you really think that I would do anything to hurt you?"
"Well, I guess not, but-"
"Then that should be reason enough right there!" He cut me off, smirking as we found the band room.
"We'll finish this conversation after practice, Ronnie." I replied, opening the door for Ronnie as he nodded and walked in, while I followed.
"Ronnie, you're late again." Monte sighed, finishing up tuning his guitar.
"At least I don't have to tune a guitar, all I do is sing!" Ronnie laughed.
"That's no excuse." he replied.
"Oh Monte, I'm sure he has a good reason for being late!" Max giggled and winked at Ronnie, and Ronnie just scratched his head, chuckling.
"Monte is right, Ronnie. Try to be on time from now on." I told Ronnie.
"But it's not like I was doing anything crazy! I was talking with you, Ashley!"
"I don't care, be on time." I tried scolding him with a stern expression, but couldn't help but giggling. Ronnie smiled and turned the mic on, giving a signal to Max, Monte, and Robert to start a song. They started off with When I go out, I want to go out on a chariot of fire.
"He had a plan to kill you all along, the evidence was hidden in this song. I was a ghost, I was there at the scene. As the embers rise, my hands smelled like gasoline..." Ronnie sang along with the instrumental background, and I stood against the wall to the side of them. I looked dreamily at Ronnie, but quickly realized what I was doing and stopped.
No! I can't be thinking such crazy ideas! I thought to myself. There's no way that it would ever be able to work out between the two of us, even if we have feelings for each other! C'mon Ashley, get ahold of yourself!
"So keep my casket closed, your heart beats under the floor, it haunts me in my dreams, and nothing's as it seems." Ronnie continued to the chorus. He turned his head to me and winked, and for the slightest moment, I felt as if I was flying, my body feeling completely weightless. Wait...what was happening to me?! I have never felt anything like I am now...could that mean that I am actually in love with my best friend? I gasped, placing my hand over my mouth, my eyes growing wide. When the song finished, Max ran over to me, seeming concerned, and waved his hands in front of my face.
"Ashley, are you alright?" he asked, and I just looked at him and quickly snapped out of it.
"Yeah, of course I'm alright. Great job you guys!" I gave them two thumbs up on the song, and Monte chuckled.
"And exactly how much of it were you listening to?" Monte grinned.
"Yeah," Robert added, smiling. "'Cause it looked to me like you were staring rather dreamily at Ronnie." Ronnie quickly turned his head to me, and blushed a little, trying to cover it up with his hands. I did my best to just brush off what Robert had said, but it wasn't working out so well. Ronnie looked as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't find the words to express his feelings.
"Nonsense, guys. I was listening to all of it." I replied to their cocky behavior. Refusing to look at the rest of the band, Ronnie turned to face his microphone again.
"P-pick the next song, Ashley," Ronnie stuttered a little. "I wanna sing your favorite one." A sheepish grin appeared on his face.
"Hmm..." I pretended to think, making sarcastic gestures to match. "As if you don't know already!" Ronnie chuckled and nodded his head as the rest of the band got into position. They then began playing the tune to The Webs We Weave, and I clapped my hands together in delight.
"So grab this statement, and read between the lines. I'm walking on an edge, that's how I stay alive. I need a fix now, the pills I have to take, it helps me live a lie and blinds all my mistakes." Ronnie began singing again in the familiar tune that I loved so very much. And then...that feeling...it came back. A rather unfamiliar twist on this favorite song, that made me feel a bit uncomfortable...and yet, in a way, I kind of liked it. I grabbed my stomach, as if holding the butterflies down.
"Oh the webs you weave, we are caught in the fame. The passion's dead, the life you've led has drown in your shame. Oh the webs I weave, I am caught in this game. My passion's dead, the life I led has drowned me in vain." I hummed along with the chorus, trying to avoid looking at Ronnie again.
While listening to the rest of the practice, I tried my best to not look up at the gorgeous man behind the microphone. I took notes on any unclear things I heard within the melodies, and drummed my fingers on my papers. Anything that could be done to help me keep my head down I tried, throughout the entire band rehearsal.
As practice finished up and everyone headed out, Ronnie walked over next to me and took a look at my notes, laughing.
"Haha, how bad were we?"
"You guys were amazing, there were just..." I looked up to finally face him, not realizing how close he was to me. I felt my face getting hot. "a few uncertainties..." Ronnie smiled, stroking my warm cheek with his cool hand. He wrapped his arms around my waist and brought my body even closer to his.
"So what were you really thinking about during practice? I know your head wasn't in it today."
"Nothing, I just began feeling weird, uncomfortable almost." I replied.
"Well, maybe I can fix that." He then leaned his mouth against mine and kissed me so passionately and lovingly that I never wanted it to end. I pushed away anyways, knowing better than to trust my emotions and allow Ronnie into my heart. I've been down that road one too many times before, and I certainly don't want to go down it again with my best friend.
"Ronnie, I'm sorry! This can't happen!" I cried, heading for the door rather quickly. Ronnie grabbed my hand, and I turned around, only to see the stern expression on his face. "Ronnie, please! Don't look at me like that! You know exactly why this can't happen!"
"Ashley..." Ronnie started towards me again, and took my hands in his. "I'm not like Craig. I love you, and wouldn't dare do anything that would hurt you in any way." That's when it hit me: Ronnie was telling the truth. He had never told any girl that he loved them before. Not one.
"But Ronnie, what if something like that really does happen? What then?" As tears began streaming down my face, I looked down and Ronnie just picked my head back up. He then continued to passionately kiss me, and once more, my body was overcome with joy and excitement. He released his lips from mine, and leaned his forehead on me.
"You don't have to worry about that with me, Ashley." Ronnie whispered. "I told you already, I'll take good care of you," he smiled sweetly, "And if I do anything that upsets you in any way, you officially have the right to hit me as hard as you possibly can." Ronnie's promise made me laugh, and his smile widened. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around him as he did to me, and I returned his lustful lip-lock, which only made both of us more prurient to be with each other.
The door began to open. I grabbed Ronnie's hands and took them off me, pushing him away. Ronnie was so mesmerized by the kiss that he didn't know what was going on.
It was Max. "Hey Ronnie, can I talk with you privately?"
"Uh, yeah, sure." Ronnie replied as he walked out with Max, waving to me. "Ashley, I'll see you later!"
"Alright, bye..." I replied as the two walked out. When I turned around to pick up my notes, I noticed a key and a letter under them on the chair. I put my notes to the side and picked up the letter to read it.
I'm not sure if you want this key or not, but if you do, I'm pretty sure you know where my apartment is. If you don't, just hold on to it for now. You really have no idea how much you mean to me, Ashley. I know that you think that I can't be a reliable companion, but I can; I've just never been with anyone that deserves the amount of love and compassion that you have. I've never felt so happy in my entire life since I met you, and I really hope that you can at least give me a chance. Because I want to spend my entire life with you. I'll be at my apartment later on, probably around 8:30. I'm hoping to see you there.
With love,
I looked at the letter, and then at the key. I slowly reached to pick it up, and I grasped it in my hand for a while before looking at my watch for the time. 6:45. I thought, and took my notes and walked out of the building, heading to my car to drive to Ronnie's apartment.
It felt like forever, waiting for Ronnie in his own apartment. I looked at my watch again, sitting on his luxury sofa. 11:13. I arrived here at about 8:30, and his letter said that he would be home then too. I took out my phone to see if there were any missed calls, texts, or voice mails. Nothing. I sighed, getting up and getting ready to leave, when Ronnie's phone rang. I didn't answer it and let it go to the answering machine, since I wasn't sure who it would be. But the voice on the other line was Ronnie's.
"Ashley, are you there?" he sighed, sounding a little down. "Please, if you're there pick up." It's like he knew I would wait for him at his house. I grabbed the phone and put it to my ear.
"Ronnie, where are you?" I asked.
"Ashley, could you meet me somewhere? I really need you."
"Are you alright? Where are you, I'll be right there!"
"...prison." He replied, his tone giving me chills. I stood still, unable to move a muscle.Ronnie? In prison? But how could that be?!

I'd possibly argue the Lich King is more difficult in 10 man, at least while learning it. It's one of those fights where when you make a little mistake you don't just take a lotta damage or lose dps time or something trivial. You and/or someone/everyone else dies. In 25 man you can usually keep going with one or two down and probably even get them up. But in 10 man with just one person down your attempt is likely over.

i chose the red pill over the blue.
No such movie has ever made me sob so much before.
that i am considered a beautiful person.
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
byebye pre-smartphone life…you won't be missed!
When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me - it still sometimes happens - and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous - not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous and so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it's much more meaningful…
The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.
- Ann Druyan
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: 'Do not despair.' The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate, only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!" - Charlie Chaplin

Stop the Target Practice of Michigan's Songbirds
The Committee to Restore the Dove Shooting Ban seeks to restore Michigan's 100-year ban on the shooting of mourning doves. The committee submitted 73% more signatures than the 159,000 required by law for certification, illustrating the overwhelming support for the referendum campaign by the voters of Michigan. Committee members include the Michigan Audubon Society, the Detroit Audubon Society, the Michigan Humane Society and the Humane Society of the United States.
On June 2, 2005, the Board of State Canvassers officially approved and certified the Committee's petition signatures, stopping the shooting of mourning doves until the November 2006 election as stipulated by Article II, Section 9 of the Michigan Constitution, which states that, "No law as to which the power of referendum properly has been invoked shall be effective thereafter unless approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon at the next general election."
Mourning doves have been continuously protected in Michigan for 100 years; they should not be shot for target practice. Banned since 1905, the shooting of doves is not a tradition in Michigan. Doves would essentially be shot for what dove-shooting proponents term as "fun" or target practice.
Hunting doves is unnecessary and serves no wildlife management purpose. There is no reason to open a shooting season on doves. Mourning doves also known as the farmer's friend - are ground-feeding birds that eat pest weed seeds; they pose no threat to agricultural crops, homes, or anything of value to people. Other northern states also have long-standing policies of protecting doves. There are no management problems within those states and no one has suggested that doves are overpopulated.
Mourning doves have significant economic value as live songbirds. Doves are beloved backyard birds and are an important part of the multi-billion dollar bird watching and feeding industry in Michigan. As a backyard songbird, scientific research studies show the mourning dove as "the second most-frequently reported bird at feeders." More Michigan residents participate in wild bird watching and spend more doing it than any other outdoor activity including all forms of hunting combined.
Doves are not a viable human food source. As small birds, even if shot properly, doves have very little "edible" flesh on them. During the 60-day shooting season of September and October, doves are actually at their lightest body weight for the entire year. However, doves are an important source of food for protected birds of prey such as eagles, falcons, hawks, and owls.
Shooting doves is known to produce orphaned young. Doves are scientifically known to still be nesting during the 60-day shooting season of September and October. Doves mate for life because both parents are required to successfully fledge squabs. The killing of one parent is known to cause unnecessary suffering of dependent young who will die in the nest of starvation.
There is an unacceptably high wounding rate for dove hunting. Scientific research studies confirm an average wounding rate of 30 percent in hunted areas - meaning that nearly one in three birds is wounded and not retrieved after being shot. In Michigan, where there is no tradition of dove hunting and where few Michigan hunters have had the experience of shooting at doves, we can expect an even higher wounding rate. If shooters kill 300,000 mourning doves a year, we can expect they will wound and fail to retrieve nearly 100,000 others.
There are plenty of other species for the sporting community to pursue and shoot in the state. More than 115 species are considered game species in Michigan. Not counting unprotected birds, 40 of these game species are birds. Turkeys, pheasants, geese, ducks, woodcock, rails, snipe, and dozens of other bird species give recreational hunters more than ample shooting opportunities at all times of the year in Michigan. In fact, hunting seasons are longer and bag limits are larger than ever for many species.
Shooting at doves produces mistaken identity kills, including American kestrels, Sharp-shinned hawks and several other federally protected species. Many "non-target" avian species are often unavoidably and mistakenly shot by mourning dove hunters.
Dove shooting will contribute to the discharge of enormous amounts of toxic lead shot in the environment. For every dove shot and bagged, hunters discharge an average of 8 shots according to a long-term study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Densities of greater than 860,000 pellets per hectare have been reported in dove fields, which are usually crop-growing soils. Cumulative lead deposits pose a significant risk to ground-feeding mourning doves and to other wildlife that directly and indirectly ingest toxic shot, including birds of prey and other animals who scavenge on downed birds.

A strip mall around a Cottonwood Heights TJ Maxx was evacuated Friday morning after an odorous gas from cleaning supplies sickened several employees.
Staff reported about 9 a.m. that they smelled a strange odor and some began suffering dizziness, throat irritation and numbness in their hands while at the TJ Maxx store at 6995 S. 1300 East, said Cottonwood Heights police Sgt. Corbett Ford.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
About 10:30 a.m., the source was identified as cleaning supplies used in the air ducts of a vacant neighboring store that is being prepared for use as a Trader Joe's, Ford said.
Crews removed the supplies and lifted the evacuation.

-Let's say Matt Ryan goes down with an injury the first game and Falcons have terrible year and end up with the first pick. Do they draft Luck? No
-There will be another stud player to emerge in college next year. It could be a skill position that the top 3 teams need more than a QB
-Most importantly, I seriously doubt Luck plays as well this coming up year with Stanford (and him) having targets on their backs.
So, don't be surprised if he drops to a top 10 or 15 type pick.

all mighty Zod, I agree w/you. People also miss the fact that Luck could be a bust. how well has the past few #1 picks panned out for teams anyway. A lock out would seriously suck, And make for a quite boring 2011.
Sure some #1 picks are a bust this is known. However some #1 picks are headed for the HOF. You take #1 because of the superstar upside.

Posted 07 January 2011 - 11:48 AM
tanking this season so we can get luck is just as bad or worse of an idea. i'd rather fix the problems now than go through another miserable year in hopes of landing a #1 pick so we can draft luck. if the decision they make at QB is to stay with what they have or try to bring in some scrub FA QB hoping that he turns into the next kurt warner, we may have very little problem landing an early pick next year.

Maintaining a healthy body by eating properly and watching one's diet with "calorie-conscious diet plan" is good – but it can sometimes become your biggest burden. Most often than not, women are more calorie-conscious than men. And they even plan for their daily "calorie-conscious diet" to keep themselves from all that carbs (carbohydrates). Although, I am pretty sure that there are times that you are dying to eat something but too worried of getting fat. And there's nothing you can do but to turn your back from that mouth-watering food and end-up eating those green-leafy salads – not to gratifying, isn't it? Have you asked yourself sometimes and wondered why are you really doing that? I know, it takes strict discipline before a person can master and train oneself what to eat. But, are you not aware that there are alternative foods to satisfy you cravings without compromising your calorie-conscious diet? Here are some of the alternative tasty food, snacks, and desserts to add into your daily meals – satisfy your cravings and eat these!
If you are into calorie-counting, then you are in luck. What I will show you now are tips from a registered dietitian – Dawn Jackson Blatner. Dawn Jackson Blatner is one of the well-known dietitian in the US and was even hailed as "top dietitian" and "one of the best nutritionists in the country" in Chicago. She also authored a book called "The Flexitarian Diet". And by saying so, you don't have to worry because all of the following here came from an expert in "diet".
Craving for: Ice Cream
Calories: 300 in one cup
Eat This Instead: Fat-free yogurt
Calories: 150 in one single-serving container
- So instead of drooling over a cone or even a scoop Haagen-dazs ice cream you can skip that and satisfy your cravings by eating low-fat yogurt. And you can add a tablespoon of honey or sundae-like toppings candy sprinkles or a small amount of chocolate syrup.
Craving for: Potato Chips
Calories: 250 for each 1.5-ounce bag
Eat This Instead: air-pooped popcorn
Calories: 60 for each 2 cups of popped popcorns
- Most of the times when we're busy doing something or watching movies, we wanted to grab a snack and munch. We wanted that feeling of crunchy-ness inside our mouth. So popcorn is one good alternative to that without the grease. You can jack up some sea salt or cinnamon to put flavors into your popcorn.
Craving for: A slice (or more) of pizza
Calories: 330 per slice
Eat This Instead: A whole-wheat pizza topped with veggies
Calories: 180 per slice
- If you are not aware, the most calorie-packed parts of a pizza are the cheese and that white-bread crust. So instead of having all of those carbs, why not go for whole-grain, lower calorie pizza bread and sprinkle some cheese, pile sauce, sweet peppers, and add some arugula – an aromatic green-leafy salad which is commonly used and popular in Italian cuisines.
Craving for: French fries
Calories: 380 for each medium order
Eat This Instead: Baked sweet-potato(kamote) fries
Calories: 180 per cup
- So slice some kamote, mist with cooking oil, sprinkle it with salt and then bake them for 30 at 350 degrees. What will you get aside from a low-calorie snack? Vitamins A and C.
Craving for: Frappuccino
Calories: 240 per 16 fl. oz.
Eat This Instead: Coffee with condensed low-fat milk and low-fat whipped cream
Calories: 75 in a large mug
- It's all low-fat ingredients and yet your coffee will taste like a fancy coffee concoction.
Craving for: Fettuccini Alfredo
Calories: 1,220
Eat This Instead: Whole-wheat pasta with olive oil and Parmesan
Calories: 280 per cup
- So instead of using a regular pasta noodles, use a whole-wheat pasta, olive oil and Parmesan cheese to complete a hearty-meal.
Craving for: Bacon cheeseburger
Calories: 550
Eat This Instead: Grilled-cheese sandwich with mushrooms
Calories: 260
- If you are craving for a sink-your-teeth-into-it sandwich, then why not try grilling some cheese and put them on a sandwich with mushrooms. The mushroom will be your best alternative for meat.
Craving for: Fast-food milk shake
Calories: 400 per small cup
Eat This Instead: Frozen yogurt
Calories: 200 per cup
- Instead of having those 400 calories per cup, why not go for a frozen yogurt and gratify your sugar, cold and smooth cravings.
Craving for: Chocolate-chip cookies
Calories: 400 in two medium cookies
Eat This Instead: Dark chocolate
Calories: 100 in half a bar
- Dark chocolates, not only it is healthy for your body but it also contains lots of antioxidants that are good for the body.
Craving for: Granola
Calories: 420 per a 3/4 cup
Eat This Instead: Oatmeal
Calories: 120 in one reduced-sugar packet
- If you are not familiar with the word or food Granola, well these are those morning meals or snacks which is very popular in North America. Most of the times Granola is consists of rolled oats, nuts, honey, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked. Now, this is heavily loaded with calories. So why not stick to the simplest and eat oatmeal.
There are more, but I guess these are just enough for you to survive for your calorie-conscious mind and probably, you can suggest more for our readers.

I reviewed them, and have to say in my honest opinion, I don't really like them. Call me old school, but I have been using chaco's for the past 10 years and have grown to love the style and feel of the original z/1 and z/2. I really did not see the benefit with a shorter break-in because I have always found chaco's don't really need a break in period at all. From the first inovations to the most recent the I have noticed that the foot beds use to be much more firm than now and these have even a softer footbed than than the later versions which I am opposed to. They are a little lighter which is ok, but the higher arch is really unnecessary unless you need the extra arch support. All in all I think these get the job done but prefer the originals much more personally (and it is a personal preference, some might really like these). I would say these are built more like a Teva or a columbia style sport sandal. I wear a size 10.5 in regular shoes and a 9 fits me in all chaco's.

Just picked a pair of these up and have been really pleased with the instant comfort. I will always be a fan of the original but I have to say that putting these on after having my feet in shoes all winter was really nice - nothing harsh to rub my feet wrong and still super capable.

Jake's Crab Shack
Has anyone been to Jake's Crab Shack in Belmar?
This is a great little spot on the boardwalk, run by Chris Brandl. Haven't tried yet, but I am sure anythin Brandl has his hands on must be good.
Yes - I walked in asked a few questions and promply walked out. I could not get an answer to my questions as the grill man did not speak or understand English. There were a bunch of crab cakes laying on the grill that looked like they have been there far to long. I short this is a typical Jersey shore summer rip off joint. It will be gone the week after Labor Day and return anew next summer as another...
Go there at your own risk...
re: JerzeyShore
You're right. Ended up trying it and was very disappointed! I make better crabcakes at home.
re: woodjj82
I hate to say I told you so, but ...
re: woodjj82
I agree. I make them better at home. Total waste of money!
I had lunch there last Sunday. I ordered the $8.00 crab cake. it came on a potato roll with one slice of tomato and a little lettuce. As the signature dish, and I was told his "almost nationally renound "crab cake it was disappointing and should have had at the least some chips with it. Mine too are better at home. Wonder what the rib eye was like on the menu? Guess I will never know. Another rip off by Chris. Bye, Bye.
re: Barbarella
We split the Crab Ball app. for a snack earlier in the week. We were served six balls and a ton of fries. The balls were meaty and had good flavor, but three of them were still quite cold inside. It was clear that they were previously frozen. The fries were not blanched properly and consequently were greasy and soggy.
I love the location, feel, and basic concept of the "Shack." Further, I think Brandl is a talented chef and I respect his ethic and the manner in which he has responded to criticisms of the Restaurant. Perhaps, there is a chance Jake's Crab Shack could evolve and please food geeks, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised if it doesn't.
As a born and bread Jersey girl, I spend a ton of time at the shore. In fact, as a summer resident of Spring Lake, NJ, Belmar is an easy, go-to area for a right-off-the-beach meal. And in the past, Jake's had always been a welcome spot to bring a nice, chilled bottle of wine and order a crab quesadilla (loaded with crabmeat), lobster bisque (a deal @ $4.99 for a large bowl) and enjoy a fabulous ocean view under a boardwalk palapa hut. HOWEVER, on my most recent visit, we ordered a "large bucket of Boardwalk fries" ($6.49) which last summer was actually presented in a bucket and easily served 6 people, this year (2012) the large "bucket" was a measly side order that hardly satisfied my 9 year old. Although I won't be returning this season since the absurdity of the fires has left a bad taste in my mouth, I do recommend Jake's....just do NOT order the fries OR the Corn-on-the-Cob (which is actually only a half of cob for $2.99). Stick to the soup, crab or shrimp quesadilla or a mediocre burger. The Views are worth it!!!

Photographer Remembers Anna Nicole
February 14, 2007 | Creative
When I heard the news that Anna Nicole Smith collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Florida I remembered that one of the contributing entertainment photographers, Gustavo Caballero, had photographed her there. I called Gustavo to tell him what happened and he reminded me that Anna Nicole was the first assignment I gave him outside of him shooting celebrities in nightclubs. He was thrilled at getting the assignment at the time and came back with lots of great images of her. He told me that she was very cooperative, friendly, absolutely beautiful and made his first professional photo experience something he will never forget. Here is one of the images from that shoot:

Eleven centuries ago, an industrious and conscientious historian,
desiring to give a record of the establishment of his forefathers in this island,
could find no fuller or better account than this:
"About the year of Grace 445-6, the British inhabitants of England,
deserted by their Roman masters,
who had enervated while they protected them,
and exposed to the ravages of Picts and Scots from the extreme
and barbarous portions of the island,
called in the assistance of heathen Saxons from the continent of Europe.
The strangers faithfully performed their task,
and chastised the Northern invaders; then,
in scorn of the weakness of their employers, subjected them in turn to the yoke,
and after various vicissitudes of fortune,
established their own power upon the ruins of Roman and British civilization."
The Saxons in England by John Mitchell Kembel.
London: Bernard Quaritch, 15 Piccadilly. 1876. Vol. 1, pp. 1-2.
This is the final agreement made in the court of the lord the King at Westminister from the day of St. Michael within one month in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Edward the son of King Edward before William de Bereford, John de Mulford, William de Herle, John de Stonore and John de Bousser justices and other faithful subjects of the lord the King then there present Between William Stilewell plaintiff and Richard Merk of Farnham and Alice his wife, deforciants of one messuage with appurtenances in Farnham whereof a plea of covenant was summoned between them in the same court, to wit that the aforesaid Richard and Alice acknowledge the aforesaid messuage with appurtenances to be the right of the same William and that they rendered to him in the same court To have and to hold to the same William and his heirs of the chief lords of that fee by the services which to the aforesaid messuage pertain forever. And moreover the same Richard granted for himself and his heirs that they will warrant to the aforesaid William and his heirs the aforesaid messuage pertain forever. And moreover the same Richard granted for himself and his heirs that they will warrant to the aforesaid William and his heirs the aforesaid messuage with appurtenances against all men forever. And for this acknowledgment surrender warranty, fine and agreement the same William gave to the aforesaid Richard and Alice 100 s. (shillings) of silver3Following this date closely appears:
In the assessment for 1332 (in the Surrey Taxation Returns at the Records Office, London), there were taxed for property, at "Wytle," i.e., Witley, near Woking:
Richard Styelwelle viii s. (shillings) iii d. (pence.)Taking into account the relative value of money, this sum paid by William Stilewel would be equivalent in these days to about $1,000, or more, and the taxes of the other three individuals, figured proprotionately, indicate they were all people of substance, ranking as well-to-do citizens and feudal tenants, desirable positions in the then existing English oligarchy.
During the six hundred years of its known existence, the name has been variously spelled according to the ignorance, indifference or training of those who have borne it.
In one deed alone, owned by the late Mr. John Pakenham Stilwell, dated 14th of Sept., 1621, by which John Stilwell, the elder, yeoman, makes over to his son John Stilwell, the younger, who was about to be married to Joane, daughter of Thomas Constable, of Ockley, the land, messuage, etc., called Collet, now Collet Moor, in the parish of Dorking, the name is spelled Stillwell, Styllwell and is signed John Stilwell; and in our early Dutch and English records equally great is the latitude taken when it is spelled Stellwel, Stilewell, Stillewel, Stillewell, Stillwal, Stillwel, Stillwell, Stillwel, Stilwell, Stilwil, Styllwell, Stylwell, etc.
No doubt there are other existing English records, which, if known, would connect those that appear in 1324 and 1332 with those that now follow, but it has not been my good fortune to locate them.
1. Farnham lies in Hampshire just over the Surrey line, about six miles northwest of Thursley, in Surrey.
2. Stilwell (English). Dweller at the Constant Spring (one not intermittent). (Old Eng.: Stille, constant, etc. W(i)ella, a Spring. Harrison, Surnames of the United Kingdom.
3. Translation of an extract from Pedes Finium, County of Surrey. The original parchment, now in the Records Office, London, is written in "Law French" and is dated 18 of Edward II, i.e. 1324. It represents the records of fines, for the County of Surrey, from III of Richard I, to the reign of Henry VII.

Parametric Bootstrap Tests for Futures Price and Implied Volatility Biases with Application to Rating Livestock Margin Insurance for Dairy Cattle
AbstractA common approach in the literature, whether the investigation is about futures price risk premiums or biases in option-based implied volatility coefficients, is to use samples in which consecutive observations can be regarded as uncorrelated. That will be the case for non- overlapping forecast horizons constructed by either focusing on short time-to-maturity contracts or excluding some data. In this article we propose a parametric bootstrap procedure for uncovering futures and options biases in data characterized by overlapping horizons and correlated prediction errors. We apply our method to test hypotheses that futures prices are efficient and unbiased predictors of terminal prices, and that squared implied volatility, multiplied by time left to option expiry, is an unbiased predictor of terminal log-price variance. We apply the test to corn, soybean meal and Class III milk futures and options data for the period 2000-2011. We find evidence for downward bias in soybean meal futures, as well as downward volatility bias in Class III milk options. Importance of these results is illustrated on the example of premium determination for Livestock Gross Margin Insurance for Dairy Cattle (LGM-Dairy).

If you're a fan of retro spaceship shooters like R-Type, then Syder Arcade should definitely pique your interest. It offers up much of that same side-scrolling, laser-dodging action, but also throws in a multidirectional twist. The graphics are impressive, and even with dozens of ships engaged in battle onscreen, the game didn't slow down.
Syder Arcade for Android: A spaceship shooter with a twist (pictures) See full gallery
Syder Arcade has two different game modes: Campaign and Survival. Campaign is the primary game mode with a storyline and narrative cut scenes. It has six different levels, and even in the easiest game mode, they can be very difficult. So, even if you consider yourself adept at these types of shooters, don't expect Syder to be a walk in the park. Meanwhile, Survival mode plops you in the middle of enemy onslaughts and asks you to simply stay alive for as long as you can. The concept of this mode is pretty straightforward.
When you start your game, you get to choose from three different starships, each having its own unique set of weapons and attributes. It's always nice when games like this offer a choice of vehicle, but I found Syder's three-ship selection to be underwhelming. It would be nice if the game offered unlockable ships or perhaps upgradable attributes, but it doesn't.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
When playing a boomkin, I actually found 1 situation where the Typhoon is valid on a raid. Consider you are behind a healer, and notice a mob running toward said healer. A moonfire + typhoon + wrath is a very useful combo to keep that mob off the healer. The typhoon will give you time to cast wrath, while allowing the moonfire to tick one more time (and with Glyph of Moonfire, that makes a huge difference). Protecting healers is always a priority.
But i keep typhoon very far away from my normal rotation keys. It is extremely situational, and should only be used when you know exactly what you are doing.
As a tank (I dualspec bear/boomkin), I have certainly seen how annoying a misplaced knockback can be.
Lets face it. The issue here is not knockback. It is bad players. With or without knockbacks, they can cause a wipe. How many hunter pets pull aggro from the tank ? Or healers that only start healing when you are at 10% health ? Or some stupid dps'er that can't watch his own threat. Knockback is just a little more of the same stuff.

Dear 10th District Citizen,
When I was in high school, I did some bull and bronc riding. Some days in Olympia those memories return as I work to reign in well meaning folks and special interests who want to move your tax dollars away from our basic priorities: a quality education, cost effective traffic projects; aid to our most vulnerable citizens, and public safety.
In representing you I will continue to apply these principles: Government cannot spend what we don't have, or look for more money from overtaxed citizens; Government must account for every dollar spent, and must foster, not discourage, a climate where good jobs are created and our citizens prosper. I will vote on the merits of an issue, not on the basis of party; and, I want your input.
Thank you,
Representative Dave Hayes

Future Trophy Wife T-Shirt, $7.50Believe it or not, it's almost time to go back-to-school shopping! (No, I don't know where the summer went, either, and yes, the thought of stocking up yet again on marble notebooks and folders and pencils makes me want to take a sedative, too.)
But the scariest thought of all? Buying back-to-school clothes, particularly for teens. It's easy when they're little and there's no chance that anything you pick up at Old Navy or Gap Kids is going to get your kid suspended, but once they're old enough to do their own shopping ... fuggedaboudit!
All you can do is try to get a good look at them before they leave the house in the morning and pray they don't change into something offensive once they get to school ...
You know, like one of these t-shirts:
Good luck getting your math teacher to make eye contact with you when you have this shirt on, sweetheart. The only way to make this tee more obvious would be if there was a button on it that played "Don't Stand So Close to Me" when you pressed it. $7.50
I'd like to buy a vowel ... because I'm not old enough to buy anything else legally! "Sometimes Alcohol Is the Answer" is definitely a message you don't want your kid broadcasting until after graduation, at the earliest. Preferably not until he's moved into a dorm somewhere and you don't have to look at this shirt. $19.95
Okay, here's the thing: I sort of agree with this t-shirt, but I don't want my daughter to realize this harsh fact of life is true until she's well into her 20s. At which point, if she wants to wear the shirt, I won't complain. I'll probably even wash it when she drops her laundry off at my house. $8.50
Ahahaha!!! Oh wait, I'm not supposed to be laughing at the shirts. You've got to admit this one is pretty hilarious, though. And at least wearing it would imply that your kid had some sort of reproductive system savvy. I can totally picture one of my fellow Catholic high school students sneaking this tee under a standard uniform button-down ... and getting detention. $19.95
Would you let your teen wear any of these t-shirts?
Image via badideatshirts
lol that last one is hilarious. the others are just horrible. but it makes me think of a couple shirts my mom bought me not knowing what they meant (she's kinda naive) one said, "i may not be totally perfect, but parts of me are excellent" which i wouldn't even wear because it was horrible! And the other said "i'll try anything once, twice if i like it". Man my mom is clueless. lol
I love the last one!
I would NEVER let my teen wear any of these T-shirts, and furthermore, being Roman Catholic, that last one is DISPICABLE....I am so glad I grew up in a much different era....(Shaking my head)....
By the way, whoever created that last shirt is the one who is CLUELESS....
these shirts are not new either ...i had a few questionable ones as a teen well 18 i wouldnt have worn them to high school ever and yes they shouldnt be worn by teens the parents still have control then over what their kids wear ...and that last one i do find of so funny lol
LOOOVE the last one ))))))))
While we are discussing what messages we want our children to send with their clothing....could we stop putting slogans on our children's tushes? I see shorts and pajama-pants all the time with 'cute' or 'sexy' or 'pink' or what have you written across the butt. This is *not* where I want people's eyes going on my child whether she is 6 or 16.
I don't get the humor in the last one. Isn't absitinence effective? Or is it a play on the virgin Mary and that is why there is a .01% chance of it not working?
hmm no not in school. i hope my gurls will know that ppl jugde you on what you wear. not cool but it happens. i would rock the one that says "good gurls never get catch". hehe...

DOME : A Solution for Soft Infrastructure in our Cities
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA: The People for Urban Progress will gift the shade structure made from the former roof material of the RCA Dome to the Reagan Park community. We anticipate that this will be the first of several shade structures and pavilions that will begin to populate several of our city's parks, ensuring that the public can continue to benefit from this incredible resource. In order to design and implement these structures, collaborating with local designer and urban place-maker Wil D. Marquez of w/purpose seemed timely. We are thrilled that through AFH and Parking Day, the RCA Dome will have new life and bring new life to the Reagan Park community.
The design of the shades structures considered a visual and performance based urban product. The shade structure was designed with movement in mind. Swiveling and adjusting at several points enable it to adjust easily for seasonal solar angle changes and variation in form. It is the first in a series of RCA Dome structures that will be deployed to local parks as visual way-finders, lighting devices, and unique urban infrastructure.
Intelligent Cities / National Building Museum
Who: National Building Museum, Time Magazine, IBM, Rockefeller Foundation
What: For as long as we have lived in cities we have reflected on their form, feel, and function. From the launch of the first hot air balloon to the creation of geospatial information software, we have developed technologies that enable us to assess what we have done, what we are doing, and what we wish to do. Today, the scale and complexity of neighborhoods, towns, and cities are unprecedented, and so are our tools for understanding them. Intelligent Cities, an initiative of the National Building Museum, supported by its partners TIME and IBM and funded by The Rockefeller Foundation, explores the intersection of information technology and urban design to understand where we are, where we want to be, and how to get there.
