Dark skin from Fraxel Restore
- 1972Amy
- united states
- 4 years ago
I had fraxel restore 2 times. My last treatment was exactly one year ago. It appears that my skin is getting worse as time goes on. Over the summer I noticed a few areas that looked dark below the skin and now a year after treatment I am noticing several areas that are dark under the skin, some of them have very odd patterns.
Does anyone know what this could be? Thank you. I would appreciate to hear from anyone that is going thru the same thing. I would post pictures but it is too upsetting for me. Even writing this post is difficult for me.

I had 2 Fraxel Restore treatments done last year and have started to experience complications. My skin continues to worsen. If I press my finger on my cheeks a red indentation is left on the skin. My skin is scarring. It appears to be damaged below the skin. Please help. Is there a machine that can tell what damage I have below the top layer of skin?

We're up to 170 million blogs. Whatever, nbd. But the bigger we get, the more government requests for account data we receive. And since there may be a day when it's your information they want, it's important you know what they're asking for.
Starting today, we'll be publishing a biannual Transparency Report detailing the number of requests we get from different sources, why we receive those requests, and how we respond to them.
If the report is TL;DR, here's the upshot: Tumblr received a total of 462 requests for user data in 2013, and responded with account data (e.g., email and IP address) 76% of the time. A small subset of those responses also included content of blog posts (e.g., text, audio, images, or video).
The remaining requests (24%) were illegal, vague, or inaccurate—so we refused to provide any data at all.
Striking the right balance between privacy and legal responsibilities is no small task, but we hope this report demonstrates our ongoing commitment to this community.

"Calvin says that God takes an aesthetic pleasure in people. There's no reason to imagine that God would choose to surround himself into infinite time with people whose only distinction is that they fail to transgress. King David, for example, was up to a lot of no good. To think that only faultless people are worthwhile seems like an incredible exclusion of almost everything of deep value in the human saga. Sometimes I can't believe the narrowness that has been attributed to God in terms of what he would approve and disapprove."

"Michigan State University surveyed more than 700 employers seeking to hire recent college graduates. Nearly one-third said parents had submitted resumes on their child's behalf, some without even informing the child. One-quarter reported hearing from parents urging the employer to hire their son or daughter for a position. Four percent of respondents reported that a parent actually showed up for the candidate's job interview."

But it would be really unfair to this tasty salsa (and you) if I didn't share the recipe just because I am in a funk.
The photo below in the bowl is my favorite.
It really reminds me of how good this salsa tasted. Think smooth olive oil, sweet and sour cherries, grapes, salt and cool cilantro. Yum.
I could eat the salsa with a spoon (I did that actually) but put it on top of some creamy goat cheese and it's the perfect bite.
Okay. Back to my funk.
1 cup chopped red grapes (halves and quarters)
1 handful chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons diced jalapeno (no seeds!)
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt to taste
1. Mix all of your ingredients and serve with tortilla chips or crostini.

After five near-misses, Zimmer says he's ready to lead Vikings
By Chris Tomasson
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Mike Zimmer wondered if the day ever would come.
For 20 years, he had been one of the NFL's most respected assistants. But he had come up short in five previous interviews to be a head coach.
Zimmer finally learned this week that at age 57 he would be the top man for the first time. On Friday, two days after he got the job, he was introduced at Winter Park as the ninth coach in the Vikings' history.

You may not see it in your neighborhood, you may not even think it happens here. But so far this year, 50 women have been arrested in Lubbock for prostitution. But these aren't just numbers, they're daughters, mothers, sisters, and little girls.
Not only did NewsChannel 11 go to the part of town where prostitution is most common, we also met a Lubbock prostitute who is behind bars right now because of her choices. But to her it's not a choice, it's an addiction. So, how does someone get hooked on prostitution? In this case, she learned by example.
"Most kids get out of school, and they go play with their friends. I would just get out of school and go straight home and do what I was taught to do you know," says local prostitute, Linda Trevino Carbajal.
Carbajal is only 20-years-old, but some may say she's lived a long life. "It started back when I was 11 years-old. My mother was taken to prison, so I kind of went wild there. So I started using drugs, and from drugs I went to the streets," she says. "People say I'm out there you know prostituting, it's not really prostitution you know. I was doing dope, selling dope, just trying to get by," she says.
Linda may play with words when she describes her lifestyle, but the reality is she sold her body for drugs.
How easy is it to get drugs in Lubbock, how common is prostitution here? Everyday. So just how much truth is there to her statement? NewsChannel 11 took our hidden cameras to the streets to find out. Our photographer drove down Avenue Q, then 8th street near Avenue R, and in just 10 minutes, he made a deal. It was that simple.
One Lubbock Police officer works undercover prostitution stings and asked that we not reveal his identity. He says he's not surprised by what we found. In fact, he says it shows how prostitution is intertwined with another illegal activity: drugs. "Most of the prostitution deals are generally for $20, which is about what a crack rock is going for now. Obviously narcotics and prostitution do go hand in hand," he says.
Perhaps Linda's story is a true testament. "There's a lot of things happening out there over the drug. It's not over the money. It's over the drug," she says.
Linda says she walks the streets alone, and for her, everyday is a gamble. "It's very dangerous, I ask myself sometimes. I'm surprised I'm alive to this day. I've been through a lot. I've had my friends killed in front of me. I've seen a lot," Linda says.
At 20 years-old, Linda has been in and out of Lubbock County Jail a total of 39 times. "Last time, I was incarcerated for seven months. I was out for three days, and I was right back in. I'm living in a circle going round and round, I always end up here," she says.
But this time, Linda says, will in fact, be the last. "As long as I know, I'm turning my life around, that's all that matters. I know I'm going to do it," she says.
However, Lubbock Police say that they've heard it all before. "We've had one just recently I picked up last week and she told us the last time was the last time, and then we arrested her, and the last time before that was supposedly the last time," says one Lubbock Police officer.
Linda may move in with her dad in Midland, who's a minister. She says she wants to change her life, go back to school, and possibly get her GED. But if she stays in Lubbock, she's fearful she'll go back to her old ways. Linda received a 100 day sentence. She's already done 30 and has 70 days left in Lubbock County Jail.
If you're wondering why Linda decided to talk to us, she says she's hoping her story will have an impact on other young girls who might be headed down the same path she chose.

How to Stay Motivated Around the House: 6 Steps to Accomplishing Your Goals
Are you struggling with staying motivated about something around your house? Perhaps it's sticking to a cleaning schedule. Maybe it's keeping things organized. It could even be finding the energy to make that decor change or tackle that DIY project that you've been wanting to do. How do you find your motivation if you've lost it? How do you spark it if it was never there to begin with? Consider these six ideas.
1. Focus on what you really want — and why
What is it you're trying to accomplish? Get very, very clear about exactly what it is you want to do. But then consider why you want to do it. If it's maintain a cleaner house, think about how that's because a cleaner house is healthier to live in. If it's to finally tackle a renovation, remind yourself that it's because those are changes that will help your life run smoother.
Be truthful about what the unhealthy distractions are contributing to you not achieving your home goals. Is it vegging out in front of the TV after work? Getting pulled into Pinterest when you should be mopping? Get strict about putting reasonable limitations on the things in your home that are distracting you from the things you really want to be accomplishing.
Take your list and tackle it one thing at a time. Some folks after getting to this point feel so revved up they try to tackle it all at once. But that's a sure-fire way to burn out.
For many, it's not a distraction that's getting in the way of not accomplishing things, it's fear or ignorance on where to start. So if you need help, ask for it! Look online for the answers to whatever home project dilemma is plaguing you. Ask a trusted friend if they will wade in with you.
How do you get yourself motivated to tackle goals and tasks around the house? What tips or tricks have you discovered? Share in the comments below!

Great list and I would add the trick I learned writing my dissertation (and which is, right now, getting me to the end of a big closet project .)
Do one thing a day. Figure out what the next step is and complete that one step, even if it's something small like charging the battery on your drill, or buying paint or replacing switch plates. I find that usually my motivation kicks back in. However, even if it doesn't, if I keep plodding along at one step a day, I eventually finish the project.
That s great advice Dulcibella
Good advice. Lists, though, do now work for me. The last time they worked was when I was at the university and studying for my finals - and they worked only because it felt sooooo good to cross an item off the list and be a bit closer to the end.
I agree with Dulcibella. Usually, if I start with something small I will eventually get the motivation to tackle a bigger beast.
But, if I had the above Frenchie in my house, nothing would ever get done because I would constantly fawn over him/her. Thanks for brightening my day with a picture of a cute French bulldog. :-)
Sometimes I am not home a lot on weekends. I don't usually do errands during the week so when I return home if I get dinner made, do a little this or that done then it's time for bed. That means that weekends are loaded with trips here and there. Having groceries delivered for $10 can free up several hours to stay at home and do things that can't really be hired out.
Sometimes I have to list things and do them in chronological order. Otherwise my scare time is diverted to the latest high priority thing -stair rail is loose, leaking faucet, no clean laundry- always prevails and the older want-to-do things never get done. The leaking faucet, which will require a time consuming trip to the hardware store must wait or I'll never get the Christmas decorations out of the hall closet into the attic, or switch my winter clothes out.
Amen, Ginger!
I think that's a chocolate Boston terrier. It is pretty adorable though.
I'm a big 'to do' list person.
It feels great to cross things off the list. There is a typed up long range/big project list on the fridge. Organized by room, it's got things like plaster repair and painting, new doors, etc. there is usually some external deadline that forces things to get done. Usually involving new tenants, or a big party with lots of folks over.
Daily lists with things like food shopping, and laundry tend to be based on what is going on, and help me group my chores so I can combine trips, shuffle laundry, etc and streamline actually getting them done. ie run dishes and laundry at the same time, so I can go food shopping/home depot run while stuff is drying.
I have no trouble understanding why I don't do things I should. My inner four-year-old comes out screaming when I am faced with spending a nice day replacing the cracked tiles in the bathroom or moving all the furniture to clean the carpets. My issue is figuring out why I don't do the things I know I want to. Why do I lie on the couch staring mindlessly at the TV when I know I want to make something? Why do I ignore the writing/painting/sculpture projects I have started in favor of re-reading old paperback mysteries? Why am I here writing this post when all the ingredients for the new recipe I want to test are sitting on my kitchen counter? I know why I procrastinate, resist and avoid when the task is unpleasant, and I have methods to deal with that. But why do I do it when the task is a joy? And how do I deal with that?
I would add turn off the distractions. I find the most interesting things to research while trying to accomplish my tasks, and the lure of the computer to 'just get the answer' is too distracting. I get the most done on days when I turn it all off - even for a couple of hours. At least that way I have accomplished a block of focused work - and written down what I thought about to look at later.
Ketzel,I'm so the same way!.Doesn't make any sense.What I will do then is pretend that Brad or George or Denzel is coming over unexpectedly .YES THEY ARE,so get off your butt.Once I start the first couple of moves,I can and want to keep going,and I keep daydreaming!
I tell myself it's a cinch by the inch, phrase borrowed from a tv yoga lady, even if I can work 5 minutes at a time, it's progress, and the results accumulate.
Very amusing comments. I suffer from procrastination too.
Ketzel, you and I could be twins - when it comes to 'not' getting things done - even things I really want to do.
gbtoo, what good ideas! I'll be giving it a try..
I like lists - mine are horrendous - on the verge of being terrifying! I need to make new ones - think I should make different catagories? ARTS, Clothes, Home: cleaning, declutter, renovations...making time each day for my ARTS !
One thing a day - lists - turn off distractions - ALL wonderful ideas..
Well it sounds good.....I'm determined not to give up!
The movers are coming in five days and nothing is packed. er... :D
Hey, ya'all!
I needed this post. I've been trying to declutter for years. I've finally got the momentum going again with the help of my housekeeper and we've been going thru my closets and all the clothes I haven't had in one place for eons. A few weeks back I dug out a 2 yr old pile of to be ironed clothes, re-washed them, and have been wearing some stuff I hadn't had on in years. Interesting....folks asked me where I bought the stuff. I said in a pile of ironing for 2 yrs....same with this closet re-organization. Weird. I'm re-purposing stuff from one room in the house to another, too. My big problem is my office/2nd bdrm. It's a dumping ground for everything. I have this issue when I get overwhelmed with life 101, I shut down and do nothing for a very long time. Then I get tired of the mess and do something about it. Does that happen with you all? Hope everyone has a nice week!!!!! Later, Me
Ketzel, I have asked myself all these questions SO many times.
With regard to not doing things we really want to do, I do think the reasons are the same as those for not doing things we don't want to do - perfectionism and procrastination.
Perfectionism because we think it won't be perfect, or as good as it used to be.
Procrastination because we don't have everything ready, or it isn't the 'right' time.
The paralysis that results can be killed by the 'just do it now' method - ie, don't give yourself time to think about something, just switch to auto-pilot and DO it.
Also, as messietessie says, anything is better than nothing even if it is just ONE minute.
FlyLady talks a lot about all these things - I know that a lot of people find her too cutesy or cheesy, but for me she is literally the mother I never had (and she is actually a lot less cutesy than she used to be).
I think the first item is the hardest one. For months (ever since the home cure, gulp!) I've been wanting to get ONE room in my house DONE. Just one. And I'd focused on the living room.
But what did I do yesterday? I updated the lighting in the breakfast room off the kitchen. Yes, it's progress to have replaced the track lighting heads & put higher lumen lightbulbs in the ceiling fan. And adding a 3-way dimmer switch was a good thing to do, too. However, it does not get me any closer to having a living room that is DONE (really, it's not the living room, it's just that I need one room that is project free and complete in my life).
I really need to focus & not get so easily distracted by noticing other projects and letting them jump the line ahead of the already-full ToDo list.
I think that having people around as a support to make sure you're doing the things you want to get done is indispensable.
When I still lived at home with my father, he'd always be a deterrent to me doing the things I WANTED to do, and always tried to push me into doing things HE thought I should be doing. When I wanted to make a lifestyle change to improve my health/our living space/my diet, he would scoff and discourage and tell me it was useless/dumb/too time-consuming/ect, all while telling me I was a horrible procrastinator and that I wasn't doing anything right. After getting out of that environment, and surrounding myself with family and friends that ARE supportive, I find it a thousand times easier to tackle and accomplish my goals.
All of these tips are really good, and having a proper support net of people to help you and encourage you is extremely important too. Love and kindness go a long long way!
i struggle with procrastination too and somewhere I came across this motto and I try to keep it in mind when I need to get something done.
'Done is better than perfect'.
I disagree a bit with number 6 on the list...I am a secretary who attends college part time towards a fine arts degree. One of the first lessons I learned in art was *not* to discuss new projects (substitute new paintings, etc) with 'everyone' because it takes the energy out of the process. If you want to discuss it...keep a journal or tell a trusted friend.
I too like the idea of one thing a day and there is actually a Japanese management concept behind that called (I think) Kaizen.
Thank you AT for a thought-provoking post.
Starting my blog helped me! Espesially with the home improvement side of things! I set myself weekly projects then blog about them...that way everything is broken into doable bits and I have a "deadline" ! My home is starting to feel more me, and the more I do, the more inspired I feel to do! Also it is so rewarding to get feedback afterwards! Check out my blog here for my creative interior projects: http://nostalgiecat.blogspot.co.uk
Wow, this comes at such a perfect time. We were hit by a tornado last June, and everyday since then has been a project to do...and still is. I am also a big list maker, but if I REALLY want to get motivated....I make myself watch a couple episodes of "Hoarding, Buried Alive"...it's amazing how quickly that will kick my butt into gear!! 😉
I just stumbled on an effective way to get things done - unknowingly break the television. It now has no picture or sound, just a click after it is turned on. All my television is streamed, so I can, theoretically watch it on the computer; it just does not hold my attention in the same way. So I wander off and start working on things. Now, if only I can hold out from fixing/replacing the TV until everything is completed.
One alternative: occasionally, weed some projects OUT. Sometimes I create projects for myself in a manic phase of excitement, projects that would be lovely, but aren't necessary. Too many projects can kill all of your motivation, especially if many of them are shallow or fleeting desires that you are not truly invested in. Maybe something trendy or cute, but you'd forget about it quickly if you just nixed it from your to do list altogether. The greatest source of contentment is accepting things the way they are. Some projects are necessary, but sort through the pile to really find what those things are. And don't get mad at yourself for sitting around sometimes! People need to sit around sometimes. Have a blank moment for your mind to rest. Adjust the level of clean you can live with. If you have piles of clothes waiting to be dealt with, donate a bunch so you have less to deal with (something I realized I really need to do). I live in a townhome I bought as a foreclosure and I have mile long lists of things that should be done, but I also have a toddler and I'd like a life. He reminds me everyday to forget about goddamn backsplashes and tile and just go play outside for awhile. Life is short! None of us will die with undone home renovation projects as our greatest regrets (I hope).
I like the post so made a mind map to remind me. I have been unable to add the image but you can see it on http://www.biggerplate.com/ filed as 'Stay motivated'
Many thanks!
That is the most unmotivated looking dog laying on that bed!!! LOL!!! MY HERO!!!!
Does anyone know the name of the artist that did that awesome painting in the photo?
That works for me also. I am going to get my television replaced this month, after going without a year.
I hope I remember how nice it was without it.
Wow. This post has come at the perfect time! I keep starting DIY projects that are fun/aesthetically pleasing but totally unnecessary when my house is a cluttered mess and actually THAT should be my priority. Thanks for the tips and great to know I'm not alone! I've roped in my partner to help me today to make "The Plan" and then start the main task of decluttering in a structured fashion. Hooray! (Rather than revealing a lost fireplace or redecorating the stairway -bigger picture is more important!)

ns 73-74 | Fall 2009/Spring 2010
My credo as a teacher: do whatever it takes to turn students into compulsively analytic intellectuals like yourself. It's never mattered to me what kind of intellectuals my students become—Left, Right, or Center—as long as I do something to help them become intellectuals I feel I'm a success. And if I do something to help them become really good intellectuals I'm even more of a success.
Of course, if all or most of my students became followers of Ayn Rand or Charles Krauthammer I'd worry, but that hasn't happened yet. I've been on the warpath for some time against "radical pedagogy," "the pedagogy of the oppressed," "teaching for social justice," and other descendants of sixties political pedagogy that expressly aim to turn students into radical Leftists. This strikes me as a terrible idea, both because it doesn't work—more students rebel than become converted—and because even if it does work it's unethical and unprofessional.
Since my writing began to focus entirely on educational issues in the mid 1980s, this is the credo that has also underlain my published work and lecturing as well: the function of schools and universities is to turn the highest possible percentage of students into intellectuals. And measured by this criterion, I'd have to say colleges and universities do about as bad a job as possible, in large part because we not only don't collaborate in our teaching but actually undermine and cancel each other out through what I've called the "mixed message curriculum" and the cult of teaching as a solo practice (which I've recently called "courseocentrism"). Since I don't think we can make any kind of transformative impact on students unless we work together (as workers do in almost every other complex enterprise besides college teaching), I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get the whole institution to change by getting faculty members to work together to create a curriculum that would make coherent sense of the intellectual world for students and thereby draw a higher percentage of them into it.
I'm still at that project of trying to change the institution—see my MLA Presidential Address last month at the annual convention (entitled "Courseocentrism"), a condensed version of which has appeared in Inside Higher Ed, which may turn out to be my last bullet or last gasp, as the case may be. But several years ago I got tired of the slowness and improbability of trying to change the whole university and hit on a shortcut method of turning students into intellectuals, which is the slightly secret agenda of the two "Critical Controversy" textbooks I've done with James Phelan on Huckleberry Finn and The Tempest, but above all of the most recent one co-written with my wife, Cathy Birkenstein, entitled "They Say/I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing. This last book has a secret behavior modification agenda, giving students templates that they have to start to become intellectuals of sorts in order to fill out very well:
In the debates over_________, a controversial issue is whether______________. Whereas some argue that____. Others reply that_____________. My own view is that_________.
This book has been by far my most successful publication (it's now used in over 800 colleges in many different disciplines) and allows me to feel that I'm accomplishing my goal at the grass-roots level while I'm waiting for universities to change in the ways I've urged.
This brings me to the last part of my credo, which is that the distinguishing mark of intellectuals is dialectical debate or what our textbook calls the "They say/I say" game. Our premise is that John Stuart Mill and Kenneth Burke got it right: intelligibility is hooked to controversy, contradiction, dialectic. We never do anything just to do it but only as a counterstatement or response to something, if only a lack or absence. In teaching I believe there's no viable way to organize a course or any kind of intellectual material other than as a debate or controversy; the failure to do this at least partly explains the abysmal state of education around the world. If students are given no controversy to enter, as generally they are not, the only thing they can do is regurgitate information or make smart or true statements in a vacuum—which is what the ACT and all the other tests ask them to do.

Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Landry Fields scored a team-high 20 points on 8- of-12 shooting, as Stanford stunned 21st-ranked Arizona State, 74-64, at Wells-Fargo Arena.
Anthony Goods finished with 15 points and four rebounds for the Cardinal (17-11, 6-11 Pac-10), who have won two in a row on the heels of a four-game slide. Lawrence Hill had 13 points and grabbed six boards, while Kenny Brown contributed 12 points off the bench.
James Harden scored a game-high 22 points to pace the Sun Devils (21-8, 10-7), who have lost three straight. Jeff Pendergraph totaled 15 points and 11 rebounds in the loss for ASU.
Stanford got off to a blazing start, scoring 13 of the game's first 17 points, and Fields hit a layup to put the Cardinal up 22-11 with about 6 1/2 minutes to play in the first half.
Pendergraph sank two free throws to trim the deficit to 32-26 at halftime, but the visitors stormed out of the gate to begin the second stanza, rattling off eight straight points, capped by Josh Owens' alley-oop slam.
Brown and Goods nailed back-to-back shots to extend Stanford's lead to 44-30, but the Sun Devils slashed the deficit in half with a 7-0 burst. Brown then knocked down a trey to make it 61-47 with about four minutes to play and Stanford held on down the stretch.

5 Ways Technology is Changing Us For The Worse
Modern technology has changed the world and its people in a great many incredible and exciting ways. We live in a society more connected, more knowledgeable, and more advanced than anything our ancestors could have dreamed up. We're fast approaching the point at which science fiction will become reality, with breakthrough after technological breakthrough.
It's not all smooth sailing, though. Our bodies and minds were never designed for the hardware and software that's become a part of our every day lives. While we've certainly revolutionized the way we do things, the technology we've used to change the world is also changing us. And not all of those changes are positive.
Physical Health
Most of us live a largely sedentary lifestyle. We drive to work and sit in front of a computer desk for hours at a time. We drive home and sit in front of a TV, game console, or computer for hours at a time.
An obesity epidemic is sweeping across the developed world. We're experiencing joint pain and back problems. Our sleep habits are being warped, distorted, and debased. Our lives are consumed with electronic addictions. I've already spoken of this in one of my previous pieces, so I won't spend too much time on this one.
Suffice it to say, hardware seems to be bad for our health.
Mental Fortitude
We dwell in a culture of distraction, one which is fast becoming more focused on piecemeal entertainment and instant gratification than careful, intelligent thought. A thousand different sources with a thousand different pieces of visual information in a thousand different formats all vie for our attention at once. It's all anyone can do to remain sane in the face of all this information.
As a result of the severe overload, we've tuned out. We take bits and pieces from everything, getting bored if something attempts to hold our attention for too long. Forty years ago, it might have been commonplace to curl up with a good book. Now, we're all on YouTube watching videos of cats. It's bad enough that the average attention span has dropped from twelve minutes to five minutes, a trend which shows no signs of slowing.
A bit distressing, no?
Personal Isolation
The Global Village is in actuality a very, very lonely place. The streets sit empty – everyone's inside their silicon houses, browsing the 'net. Even though we're more connected than ever before, we're also more isolated than we've ever been.
We communicate with one another through channels that are a pastiche of face-to-face contact; pale imitations which struggle to convey some of the most basic messages. This is hardly news: we've known since 2005 that the Internet has been linked to social isolation. Now, in the age of Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr, we run the risk of forgetting how to truly communicate altogether.
Impulse Control
Hand-in-hand with the reduced attention span that's come about as a result of the Internet, the average person is also starting to develop some pretty severe issues with impulse control. Cheating on a spouse, making a foolish purchase, gambling, spouting off a cruel remark…these are impulses and urges which have always been present in one form or another.
The Internet hasn't imbued us with these impulses. Rather, it's weathered down our resistance to them, made it far easier for us to access them and act without thinking. It doesn't help that on some level the primal part of our brains simply doesn't understand that what we do on the 'net is real, and has real-world consequences.
Last but certainly not least, let's talk about Facebook for a moment.
The birth of Facebook (and of social media as a whole) has led to something knowna s "the ME generation." Again, this is something I've touched on before. There's a certain egomaniacal narcissism brought on not just by social media but by the Internet as a whole. The idea that we can get anything we want with a few mouse-clicks and that we've actually got an audience to view our triumph is…well, it's intoxicating, and thoroughly unhealthy.
Look, I'm not saying the Internet is bad, nor am I slamming technology. I love the 'net, and I don't know what I'd do without my odd assortment of gadgets. All I'm asking is that you remain aware of the risks. We're living in an era our ancestors couldn't possibly have imagined. The question is whether or not we're actually ready for the world we've built.
What do you think? Have you seen – or experienced – any of these (or other) effects of modern technology? What do you think we should – or can – do about it?
Post your thoughts in the comments below.
One response to 5 Ways Technology is Changing Us For The Worse
S S March 20th, 2013 at 5:30 pm
Fortunately for me, I've been partly aware of most of these dangers since I was first introduced to the internet at a young age, and I've been able to counteract them pretty well. I do not use facebook at all anymore (although I used to occasionally scan the newsfeed, and even then, I rarely posted statuses myself, but rather just read others), I do crossfit, jiu jitsu, and karate during the week, and I lift weights during the weekend, as well as doing 200 push-ups a day since November 26, 2012 (haven't missed a day yet :D). I also hang out with my friends a lot during the weekends, and I live in a pretty small and social town. So pretty much the only things I have left to conquer are the mental fortitude and impulse control problems. Anyone have any tips/ideas on how to prevent/solve/reduce these effects?
P.S. I may be bragging just a bit, but in all honesty, I'm planning on becoming a programmer when I graduate, and I want to be as fit/resistant to the bad effects of the internet as possible, so I can rid myself of any guilt about spending so much time on the computer. Even now, I'm a pretty avid gamer, as in anytime I'm not doing any physical exercise/socializing/homework I'm playing video games.

Expedited Settlement Process
The mission of the Office of Expedited Settlement (ESP) is to expedite the resolution of disciplinary cases for the health, allied health, business and technical programs of the Division of Registrations. Resolution of disciplinary actions through stipulation without litigation is meant to expedite the resolution of disciplinary actions, while at the same time minimizing the associated legal costs of settling these actions.
ProcessThis process begins with a complaint being reviewed by the board. If the board determines disciplinary action is necessary, the board determines the sanction to be offered the Respondent. ESP will then contact the Respondent to discuss the offered sanction with the opportunity to sign a stipulation. If the Respondent accepts the terms of the stipulation, the Respondent signs the document, returns it to ESP, and the matter is then closed in ESP and processed through the board staff. If the offer is rejected, or the Respondent fails to respond, the matter is closed in ESP and sent to the Office of the Attorneys General for a hearing. The Office of Expedited Settlement does not practice law; rather it merely assists the Board or Director in the delivery of settlement proposals.
Consumer Information
Confidentiality: The ESP process is strictly confidential until all matters are issued a final agency order. Complainants and/or the general public will not be able to receive information about pending cases until final disposition. Consumers seeking specific information about pending or final cases must direct all such inquiries to the Board or Director staff.

Albany-- It's good to be top dog, at the Westminster Dog Show. Tuesday night, Carly, a German short hair pointer, won "Best in Show" in the 129th Westminster Dog Show.
The two day competition brings dogs of all sizes, shapes, and breeds to Madison Square Gardens in New York.
Billy Hodges, owner of The Kennel Club pet spa in Albany, has shown dogs since he was a child. His dogs have even competed against some of Westminster's best.
He explains what the judges are looking for in the perfect pooch. "The judges are looking for overall structure of the dog, proper bone alignment, straightness in the front end, and proper head structure," Hodges said. "Each dog is judged towards its standard not ever other dog."
Other characteristics of a champion dog, a wagging tail, good eye contact, a playful spirit, and good temperament.

Master of Education
Initial Licensure Program
Convenient Design & Schedule
You can complete your master's degree and teacher licensure requirements in as few as 14 months. Course offerings are scheduled in a summer-fall-spring-summer sequence. However, you may begin during any semester and pursue the program completion at a more gradual pace to meet your scheduling needs.
Licensure Areas
If you already have a baccalaureate (B.A. or B.S.) degree, you can pursue licensure in early childhood (PreK-3), elementary (K-6), middle grades (4-8), or secondary (7-12) education, as well as K-12 licensure in art, music, theatre, French, Spanish, or physical education. The program is 45-47 semester hours. Click here for a schedule chart of programs. Also see the Catalog for curriculum details.
Internship: Classroom Experience
The initial licensure program provides you with extensive field experience in local schools through a required internship. You experience the school year from beginning to end during this two-semester internship in teaching, assessment, and classroom management. It provides a sustained supervised experience in classrooms of community-partner schools, working directly with master teachers as mentors. Placement in at least two grade levels is required for each licensure area. Modest stipends often accompany the internship experience.

I found theme of KANK absolutely abstract and absurd, SRK and Rani had wonderful spouse.

simulcast wagering compensate for those lost wagering events?
At the same time, how does the simulcast market react to the growing
number of smaller fields despite the decrease in the number of races?
Can the wagering offering be enhanced to draw greater interest from the
bettors? Or will these developments trigger other changes in current
betting patterns?
Minimum wagers, bet types, takeout, and mobile wagering devices will be

The only real disadvantage to a shotgun is range. 100 yards is about the limit, and less with shot. This is offset by the advantages of a reassuring "kaCLACK" as you cycle it (reassuring to you. Gut wrenching to your target), massive firepower that can leave a man standing dead, looking down at a hole in his torso big enough to toss a dog through, versatility of ammo, simplicity and low cost. You can often get one police surplus for under $150, used, and new for under $300.

Plane traveling from Canada to Dominican Republic made emergency landing in Bermuda
CONFIRMED: Family arrested upon landing, but smoking charges dropped
One of the family members arrested, David McNeil Jr., 22, denied the charge of smoking, and without any evidence to support it, the charge was dropped, Time magazine, National Post of Canada and other news outlets reported. David McNeil Sr., 54, pleaded guilty to behaving in a disorderly manner by using abusive and offensive language, while Donna McNeil, 52, pleaded guilty to disobeying a lawful order by a flight attendant.
McNeil Sr. and Donna McNeil were fined $500 apiece, and ordered to pay immediately or face up to 10 days in prison.
Among the arguments made by prosecutors on Monday was a crew member reportedly witnessing David McNeil Jr. leaving the plane's washroom smelling strongly of cigarette smoke, the National Post said.
One woman relayed the story via text message to her husband, the CBC reported. According to Dave Shellington's wife, there was a lot of screaming and swearing during the ordeal.
Potential lawsuit
Because the plane was diverted under Canadian transport regulations, Sunwing Air was forced to put up the 180 passengers for the night and bring in a mechanic. Sunwing Travel Group is considering suing the McNeil family for the estimated $40,000 expense for the diversion, the Montreal Gazette and other outlets said.
"I cannot believe that passengers did this. I'll bet you it's been 20 years since smoking was allowed on an aircraft," Daryl McWilliams, vice president of media relations with the airline, told the Huffington Post.
Smoking was banned on domestic flights in Canada in 1989, and then extended to international flights of six hours or less in 1990, CTV News reported.

PLAYERS: Kelly Kelly, Paul Heyman, Bruno Sammartino
- Kelly Kelly has posted another calendar preview photo. She says this one was banned by Facebook this week: - WWE Diva Tamina Snuka says she's back and nobody is safe. She tweeted after RAW: "Like I said I don't like little Girls who disrespect even if you are WWE's It Girl #Boo I'm BACK and No One is Safe #ChaoticExoticTamina" - As seen on last night's RAW, Paul Heyman and CM Punk name-dropped Bruno Sammartino and the WWE Hall of Fame in the main event segment. A source says this was clearly done for a reason. The source said, "It's a sign that either Bruno gave word he absolutely will not allow them to induct him or less likely, he's going through with it."

While daylis are same every day and kindof a job, its a great way to earn easy gold while you can't find a group for heroic or whatever you prefer to do.
When I log on I LFG in guild, if I can't get something going, I check what my friends are doign and if nothing interesting is up - I do daylis. Just 10 on QQ island give me 100g easily. And it takes about 30 minutes to do them if the drops of ore and remnants are ok.
I'm doing pretty much the same circle as Daniel, but clockwise and in SMV I only do Kill them All! and collect armaments, for other daylis just take too much time in there. I'm not always doing all of them and if I don't have much time I just try to do the ones that help to take my server to next Phase.

Mentoring & Training
During your first two years with us, you will have your very own personal mentor,
an experienced lawyer with a
! The two of you will have the time and funds to explore your city, go to a game, have a dinner out with some other folks from the Firm, go out for a beer or glass of wine, and have long conversations about all the things you're doing wrong. And right. Your mentor will also offer suggestions for ways to make the best of your associate years and continue to grow professionally.
(Kevin Eldridge, Sarah Coyne, Kerry Moskol)
Call us cutting edge, but we actually allow our practice groups to interact with one another and you may find your interests changing as you are exposed to different areas of law. At Quarles & Brady LLP, you have the freedom to change practice groups and develop your practices to reflect your particular interests and strengths.
We Love Training. Most Q&B practice groups offer formal training programs for lawyers in the group. The format and frequency of the training varies (
the training may occur during the group's regular meetings, as separate seminars offered to all lawyers, or as training sessions targeted to new associates) but you will not lack for training as a Q&B associate. Many training opportunities (such as the monthly Business Law Training Sessions) are open to lawyers in all practice groups.
Our litigation associates will benefit from our collaboration with the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA). For years, our litigation associates have participated in in-house litigation skills workshops focusing on important practice skills such as direct and cross-examination and negotiation. These two-day workshops are co-taught by NITA and Q&B lawyers and provide an excellent opportunity for hands-on skills development. Caution: homework alert. But worth it.
(Elizabeth Fella and Deanna Conn)
In addition to the programs above, a firmwide training program is offered each year for all interested attorneys. Past programs include advanced legal writing, editing and feedback skills and public speaking. A firmwide ethics program is offered every two years too!
Don't think mentoring stops after two years.
In addition to our formal mentoring program, we encourage and support informal mentoring. For example, our partner compensation system rewards partners for certain accomplishments in various categories including mentoring and training. We provide training for partners and senior associates in mentoring skills (
how to give feedback to associates and edit their work) to facilitate informal mentoring at all levels. Every year our Star Mentor Program allows associates from each of our offices to nominate partners for Star Mentor awards. Many of the nominees do not have a formal mentoring relationship with the associates nominating them. Star mentors receive fun prizes and lots of attention, and Star Mentor Awards ceremonies held each January provide a perfect excuse for a post-holiday party. It speaks volumes regarding how we feel about mentoring that associates chose to nominate 44 of our partners for Star Mentor Awards this year; many of those partners received multiple nominations. The message conveyed by our Star Mentoring Program is that because we take mentoring seriously, good mentors deserve to be honored. The message conveyed by this year's avalanche of nominations is that the message is being heard.
Quarles & Brady has an Early Mentoring Program for incoming entry-level associates; the goal of the program is to begin integrating the entry-level associates into the practice groups to which the entry-level associates are assigned. All third year law students, prior to joining the firm, will have contact with and receive information from their Practice Group's Legal Recruiter and their Student Liaison. An entry-level associate's student liaison will assume responsibility for forging an ongoing relationship with the entry-level associate, be generally available to answer any questions the entry-level associate may have related to starting at the Firm (and preparation for the same, including but not limited to questions relating to the Bar exam).

Conflict, Popular Support and Asymmetric Fighting Technologies
AbstractThis paper presents a model of conflict that combines popular support and asymmetric fighting technologies in a civil war setting. Starting with different endowments, two parties must decide on the amount of resources to divert from production to fighting. The conditions for conflict to arise are derived and civil war is shown to be subject to efficiency and distributive costs. Two other equilibria can occur, the first involving only one side choosing to arm, and the other a peace equilibrium where both groups choose zero fighting effort. The model is consistent with various historical accounts of the different roads to war and with recent empirical evidence on the determinants of conflict. Although the model focuses on civil wars, it can easily be extended to other situations that involve conflict such as rent seeking, political campaigning or litigation.

Johnson captures Daytona 500By VIV BERNSTEIN
The New York Times | February 25,2013AP PHOTO
Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race Sunday at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. A day after a crash took the focus away from racing and threatened to turn NASCARs season-opening showcase, the Daytona 500, into an afterthought, Danica Patrick did what she does best. She put the focus right back on her.
Patrick, in her first full season in the Sprint Cup, did not become the first woman to win a NASCAR race. The dramatics in the 55th Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway were instead delivered by the five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who outraced the field after a late caution and declared himself the driver to beat for the title this year with the victory. And Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a similar declaration, finishing a strong second.
After capturing his second Daytona 500 victory of his career, Johnson said from victory lane: Man, this race car, this Lowes Chevrolet, was so good. I could really stay up front all day long, and I had a lot of confidence those final few laps leading the train. I knew just how fast this car was.
But along with Johnson, Patrick was surely the story as well Sunday. She had created national headlines all week after becoming the first woman to secure a pole in the premier Sprint Cup series, and she reached another milestone Sunday when she became the first woman to lead a lap in the Cup series. She led twice for a total of five laps in the 200-lap race.
And just as significant, Patrick spent most of the race proving she could race with the best in NASCAR. She raced in the top 10 all race long, and when the checkered flag waved, found herself in eighth place the best finish by a woman at the Daytona 500, topping Janet Guthries 11th-place showing in 1980.
At the end of the day, it was a solid day for the Go Daddy car and the Go Daddy crew, Patrick said. We stayed basically top 10 all day long. I cant really complain about that.
Patrick said she was actually disappointed in the finish; she was third going into the last lap but got shuffled back in the final scramble to the checkered flag.
Actor James Franco perhaps inadvertently dissed Patrick when he gave the call to start engines. Franco said, Drivers and Danica, start your engines.
But as Patrick proved Sunday, she is a driver. And when the spotlight is at its brightest, Patrick shines just a little bit more. She showed that before in the IndyCar Series, becoming the only woman to win a race and the only woman to lead laps at the Indianapolis 500.
Earlier Sunday, the talk at Daytona was still focused on a last-lap crash in the Nationwide Series race Saturday, when Kyle Larsons race car went airborne and crashed into the catch-fence and sent debris into the stands. There were 28 injuries, but only two people remained hospitalized and were stable.
That promising report allowed racing, and Patrick, to once again become the story. Patrick even succeeded in taking some of the focus off what was largely a questionable debut by the new Gen-6 race cars introduced this season. The race cars were designed to look more like showroom models. But there was very little green-flag passing for the lead as most drivers were content to drive in single-file for much of the race.
Patrick had few wobbles through the race. After starting on the pole, she was not able to hang on to lead the first lap. Gordon quickly moved ahead of her on the outside and led the first lap. But Patrick, who quickly moved to the back of the field in a qualifying race Thursday, held her ground after that. She tucked in behind Gordon and did not give away a spot, following Gordon around the track through the early portion of the race.
She was part of a nine-car breakaway at the front of the pack, showing how strong her race car was going to be Sunday.MORE IN Wire SportsEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Full StoryNEW YORK Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira had a third cortisone shot in his surgically... Full Story
