HUFFINGTONPOST.COM - In the fierce debate that led up to President Barack Obama's repeal last September of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the 1993 law that banned gay and lesbian service members from serving openly in the military, supporters of the law warned that a repeal would have disastrous consequences for the armed forces. One letter, signed by more than 1,000 military officers, claimed that a repeal would undermine recruiting efforts, negatively affect "troop readiness" and "eventually break the All-Volunteer Force."
One year later, the first academic study of the military's new open-service policy has found there have been no negative consequences whatsoever. click here to read more

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley and his wife were recently named in a lawsuit for trashing a luxury house, but there was an interesting nugget in the story that all but confirmed a story from the offseason.
In a letter from Todd Haley's wife, Christine, she mentioned that the couple had a chance to move back to Arizona, but decided to stay in the Steel City which they have grown to love.
Haley was linked to the Arizona Cardinals head coaching gig earlier this year, but he ultimately turned down the opportunity to speak with the team for their vacant job. If Haley's wife is to be believed, Haley wouldn't even entertain another head coaching job if it meant relocating from Pittsburgh.
Here is the letter from Haley's wife:
Haley has had a disaster of a season in Pittsburgh, so perhaps he could change his tune next offseason, but for now he loves Pittsburgh and doesn't have any plans to go elsewhere.
If he was in fact offered the job, Steelers fans are likely wishing he would have left town and become a distant memory.

UPDATE 8/13: Want to know the answer? Here's it is!
What is this? And where is it? Give it a guess for this week's Access Points photo game!
You've been pretty good so far, getting the correct answers for our first Access Points games within the first few responses. Matt Scofield's childhood-memory-turned-guess on last week's Access Point was rewarded by The Wren's Nest with free passes to the West End house museum!
But back to this week: it's one point around metro Atlanta with a good story behind it. If you've got an idea of what it is and where to find it, share in the comments, or on Twitter @insideaccess! I'll reveal the answer and its story at 4 p.m. Thursday.

More about Joe
Oh hai there. I'm a live music junkie who lives to listen to people and live music. You see, I am a crisis counselor at a university here in New Orleans and honestly – I love it. But with all that heavy stuff I need a chance to relax and/or rage and that's what live music is to me. I love watching bands, especially when they mix it up (like Kyle Hollingsworth and Bela Fleck playing with moe. or Huey Lewis with Umph's this year) and I love raging it with my buds. My other favorite is eating and cooking, I consider myself an expert at both, but that's another story. I also love tracing secret messages into bananas at the grocery store, wearing platform shoes, and making aluminum foil outfits for other people's pets. Oh, and costumes, I love costumes (I used to dress up as the Chiquita Banana Lady, Miss Carmen Miranda). So I guess that's about it. I'm a people person, in as much as I like people to look at me and laugh at my jokes.
What Joe liked most about being a CIT this year:
Well I must admit, the prize package was sweet, coming to a festival for free was AWESOME. I think though my favorite thing was getting to see some of the behind the scenes work that goes down. One day we were about to have a meeting and someone in the next room was playing the piano, our boss came back and said, "I can't ask Kyle Hollingsworth to stop playing." It was a magical moment. When our meeting was over I walked in and got the chance to meet him – it was kick-ass. I got to do an interview with Kris Nowak from Cornmeal and see a lot of the artists up close. Also, I got a little recognition. Some people recognized me from my videos and honestly, that's my favorite. Having an in-depth look into Summer Camp made me love it a little more.
What it means to be a CIT (in Joe's opinion):
I think being a CIT is sort of like being an historian. You record what happens to you and the people you're with and you show the Scamp Community (or people thinking about going to the fest) what it's like, what happened, and how much fun you can really have. Being a CIT is the chance to share a bit of who you are and what you are with the festival community.
Why Joe thinks you should apply this year:
Are you seriously thinking about not applying? The prize package is ridiculous first of all, but if you're anything like me just getting the chance to meet some of the artists should get you off your ass and making a video. If that's not enough for you, well Hell's bells and taco shells, I just don't know what else to say.

They say: "Africa is a vast and fascinating continent that really does have something for everyone, whether you're looking for a family safari in Kenya, the geological wonders of Namibia, the hustle and bustle of Cape Town or a taste of ultimate luxury on an island hideaway in Madagascar. Whatever type of holiday you are after, Kuoni can create just what you want, when you want. Don't forget there are cities, ranches, safaris and reserves as well as paradise beach resorts all included in this 2014 Africa brochure. And although this brochure suggests hotels and itineraries as packages, you can tailor make the perfect African tour or holiday to suit you, taking in the places you want to visit and for the duration you're looking for, including rail journeys and self-drive too."
They say: "Where will your imagination take you? Imaginative Traveller's worldwide brochure has over 150 trips to choose from, with every type of adventure going. There are discovery and cultural tours, walking and trekking, wildlife and safaris and family adventures. If you're looking for a more relaxed holiday or a tailor made trip, Imaginative Traveller can do that as well. The company uses experienced local guides to help you see all those iconic sights, but also their favourite hidden treasures. Imagine trekking through rarely visited hill-tribe villages in Burma, enjoying a Mekong Delta homestay in Vietnam, watching a voodoo ceremony in Africa or even enjoying amazing views from the high passes of the Everest mountain range. It's all in this brochure."
They say: "New horizons, new experiences. Sights that take your breath away and surroundings that make you want to stay forever – that's what this Worldwide brochure is all about. Full of hand-crafted voyages with departures from January 2014 to the end of 2015, this means you can plan your ideal holiday well in advance. And with the help of the Kuoni concierge team, you can build in private tours, trips and activities too, from exploring the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, to golf reservations at Sandy Lane on Barbados. So whether it's a lazy holiday on a private island or an all-action safari tour, it's all in this brochure. And worth noting, many of the hotels featured are only available through Kuoni in the UK."
They say: "This latest brochure from Kuoni is designed to make creating a tour itinerary easy for you. For the first time there is a collection of tours based around themes and specfic interests, so if you're eager to dance the Samba at Rio's carnival or you fancy learning the ancient art of t'ai chi in China it's all in here for you. Of course, all Kuoni tours feature expert guides and tour leaders who are filled with passion and pride for their local area, so you'll learn lots including discovering all those hidden gems that only locals know. Many trips, meals and transfers are included in the tour cost, but there are also optional excursions so you can pick and choose what you want to do."

PLYMOUTH, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) With four cheese factories, Plymouth in Sheboygan County wants to promote itself as the "World's Cheese Capital." However, a Green Bay firm is the registered owner of a similar title -- and its owner is not giving it up. Plymouth used to call itself the World's Cheese Capital back in the 1940's-and-'50's. City Redevelopment Authority chairman Lee Gentine says they let the slogan "die on the vine," and it's a good time to bring it back, and try to make Plymouth a destination.
However, the Sheboygan Press checked the Wisconsin secretary of state's office, and found that Language Links in Green Bay and Denmark are the registered owners of the phrase "Cheese Capital of the World." That owner, Tom Wall, said he's about to use the phrase and others in his own marketing materials for now.

5 Big Trades for a Ping-Pong Market
Wells Fargo
There's no question that 2013 has been a good year for Wells Fargo ( WFC). Year-to-date, shares of the big bank are up 18%. But it could be getting even better for investors.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
That's because Wells is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a bullish setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level above shares and uptrending support to the downside. Essentially, as WFC bounces in between those two technical price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above resistance at $41.50. When the breakout happens, we have our buy signal.The financial sector, and Wells Fargo in particular, has shown outsized relative strength over the course of the last month and change. From a statistical perspective, positive relative strength trends tend to signal outperformance over the next three to ten months. That bodes well for Wells Fargo owners right now. Don't be early on this trade. Wait for $41.50 to get taken out before jumping in.

1. Georgia Tech offensive tackle Ray Beno is enjoying his moment in the sun.
In the Yellow Jackets' 42-24 win over Duke Saturday, Beno caught a deflected pass, broke a tackle and ran for a key third-down conversion on a drive that ended with a touchdown. A Youtube video of the reception was closing in on 10,000 views Tuesday evening.
"I'm getting a big reaction from it," he said. "I see people in the halls at the school, they're like, 'Beno! Good catch" – people I've never talked to."
Beno took a photo next to a life-size poster of former Tech star Calvin Johnson in the football offices. His fellow linemen have given him grief over it, touting him for the Heisman Trophy and calling him Ray "Biletnikoff" Beno after the famed wide receiver.
True to offensive lineman form, Beno said he's staying humble and not getting a big head.
"I'm just glad I made a play on Saturday," he said.
Said coach Paul Johnson, "Now that we see he's capable,

About Us
3Dpartsource.com is a product of 3D Industries Ltd., an exciting technology company made up of an international team of world-leading search and manufacturing experts.
For further information, drop us a line.
Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter (@3dpartsource), Facebook and Google+.
The Technology
Using cutting edge and powerful search technology, we have developed a tool that takes you direct from design on your computer, through sourcing of part, to contact with supplier and ordering of part.
You can source for parts and components in different materials and sizes and from different geographies. It provides an easy way to search by keyword, our sample parts, or best of all, your own uploaded 3D model.
The site is compatible with all the main 3D model formats and couldn't be easier to interface with.
Our Community
A growing network of global suppliers who have recognized the power that 3Dpartsource.com offers are joining this industry-changing revolution. By uploading their parts and 3D catalogs, they are accessing the global marketplace and giving themselves a huge advantage in making the next sale.
And an even larger community of buyers are turning to 3Dpartsource.com for their sourcing needs, taking advantage of this powerful tool to increase sourcing precision and cut down time and costs of procurement.
The Revolution!
We are harnessing the power of next generation 3D search to revolutionize the way you source parts. We provide a tool that makes this critical process rapid, accurate and cheap. (It's faster, better, cheaper!)
Our philosophy is, if "a picture paints a thousand words", then "a 3D model contains a thousand specs"!
As a supplier, 3Dpartsource.com makes your catalog fully accessible, giving you the greatest chance possible of making sales worldwide. It gives you unparalleled global access and exposure. Your database can be interrogated comprehensively. No opportunity to match a buyer's demands or a call for parts need be missed ever again.
As a buyer, 3Dpartsource.com puts the world of parts at your fingertips. It connects your designing with your part sourcing in a smooth end-to-end process. Barriers to sourcing drop. You find the part you are looking for with a simple click. Put an end to the tedious and endless task of wading through specs and printed catalogs to find approximations for the part you are seeking. Save time, money, and frustration.
Once you try the power of 3Dpartsource.com, you will never look at sourcing the same way again!
The Challenge We Wanted to Tackle
The act of part sourcing has remained a labour-intensive and slow process - a 'black art', in fact - having changed little over the centuries. This translates into missed opportunities and significant procurement and sourcing costs.
Our Dream
3Dpartsource.com aims to become the leading site for sourcing of industrial parts worldwide; the first stop for suppliers and buyers in any manufacturing enterprise.
We want to make the act of part sourcing - so critical to your business - a simple, efficient, and (dare we say it) enjoyable process!
Imagine being able to go directly from:
(1) designing a product on your computer, to
(2) using those designs to search for real parts globally, and then onto
(3) making contact with the supplier to purchase the parts.
Imagine the savings in time, hassle and costs! This is not sci-fi - it's the reality of this site. Try it for yourself!

While Sibmar Construction continues to move with the times, we have stayed true to our original values. We are never complacent and are always looking for ways to improve our building solutions, to seamlessly meet ever-changing needs.
Maintaining relationships is key to what we do. We firmly believe that every one of our customers is equally important to us regardless of size or contract value. While they may have different requirements, they all deserve the same level of service. This treatment extends to the architects and project managers we work alongside on client projects – we see it as a working partnership.
We couldn't offer the quality of resources and skills we do without dedicated staff at the helm. Regardless of their job status, we have a firm commitment to their training and development. Not surprisingly, we have managed to retain much of our original workforce as they achieve their full potential.
Every employee of the company goes the 'extra mile' to ensure customer satisfaction. With a 'can do' attitude they not only strive to understand your questions but deliver the answers where possible. They don't just do the work; they add value.
Sibmar Construction firmly believes that caring for the environment is not a matter of choice – it is a mandatory requirement. We are more aware than most of the impact the construction industry has on the environment – that is why we take measures to minimise any adverse effects.

While we gear up for the final stretch of the 2012 Heisman Trophy watch, fans around the nation are left wondering how the potential Heisman winners could fare when they make their journey to the NFL.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein will be headed to the pros next season, but Texas A&M quarterback Johnny "Football" Manziel still has a few years left at the college level. Despite his inability to enter the 2013 NFL Draft, ESPN's Adam Schefter spoke with NFL scouts around the league to get an idea of how the talent evaluators viewed the Aggies freshman sensation.
One NFL talent evaluator compared Manziel to former Duke standout Bobby Hurley, saying he's the best point guard in America, able to dish it off or take the ball to the hoop himself with his rare athletic instincts.
Alabama coach Nick Saban once compared Manziel to Doug Flutie, though NFL scouts do not believe the Texas A&M quarterback has the same type of arm strength. One scout said Manziel, who's listed as 6-1, is more like Fran Tarkenton, able to scramble or throw the ball pretty accurately.
NFL scouts are uneasy about his Manziel's size.
They also are uncertain how high he'll wind up going when he turns pro or what type of quarterback he'll be, given that he's only a redshirt freshman. But even NFL evaluators are enamored with watching Manziel work his magic.
It is no surprise that Manziel's size is already worrying NFL scouts, but he has time to grow during his final years in school.
While it may be too early to say, Manziel appears to be an outstanding college football player that will struggle to find a home when he makes the leap to the NFL.

Hello all. This is my first topic. I used the forum's hardware detecting too with success. Great software. And great community either. As I've see there are lots of people here with both high windows technical skill and will to help.
My issue: no audio in the front jack. I plug phones on it and I got no sound from any software or media at all.
Back jack is working fine.

You list "High Definition Audio Device" as the sound card which suggests all you have is the generic, basic function, Windows installed sound drivers instead of the correct motherboard vendor's sound drivers. If this is the case, the first thing to do is install the correct Biostar provided sound drivers.
Second, has the front panel mic jack ever worked? Can you plug in a mic to the rear Pink mic jack and will it work there? Is the front panel connection to the motherboard plugged in and correct? If the front panel connection has an HD Audio plug that should be used over the older AC 97 connection, as the HD Audio (with correct sound driver) has sensing that the AC97 does not have.

Since you have integrated sound then make sure you have the properties set properly within Windows Sound (Control Panel > Sound). You should see your speakers and maybe some other input devices. Check to see if your headphones are showing in their and if they're disabled/muted.
If they don't show then it may be something else. I know some motherboards you can disable the front ports, and even through some policy settings as well. Depending on your software check to see if the front panel is disabled.
You may also want to make sure that the front panel connectors are connected and you might find this thread helpful for that.
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if that may be the problem?

Are the cables from the case correctly connected to the motherboard? Sometimes they can come loose.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded and installed the proper drivers and it works just fine now. Thankfully there was no need to open my case, since I don't have a screwdriver with me.

As population climbs and resources dwindle, man pushes further into what little "wild" remains, infringing on turf patrolled by some of the deadliest creatures around. An inevitable and often deadly intersection between man and beast occurs, exacerbated by weather patterns that push and shape animal behavior, driving creatures toward food sources and shelter occupied by man.
To survive harsh winters large mammals like bears seek out easily obtainable food sources, often coming into contact with humans along the way. Ectothermic creatures like venomous snakes seek out roads and other man-made structures to regulate their body temperature, which can increase the chance for encounters. According to research by the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, cold temperatures can lead to changes in defensive behavior in "cold-blooded" animals potentially increasing volatility in human encounters. No matter the animal, the external influences of weather increase the risk that man and beast will intertwine.
But quantifying the actual threat of specific animals can often prove to be a hassle. That's where Dr. Joe Forrester comes in. Dr. Forrester, a general surgery resident at Stanford University, gathered and compiled animal fatality statistics from 1999 to 2007 using the Center for Disease Control's publicly accessible database to form one of the most comprehensive accounts of animal fatalities in the United States. For Forrester, the project arose out of a natural cohesion of personal and professional interests.
"I've always been interested in wilderness and wilderness medicine," said Forrester. "One of the facets of wilderness medicine is animal attacks, and as a surgery resident I see a lot of the worst of these encounters."
So Forrester set about sifting through the data, hoping to find useful trends that would advance medical knowledge of how humans interact with animals.
Among the more interesting stats:
- 1,802 - The total number of animal-related fatalities during the nine-year span
- 200.2 - The average number of animal-related deaths per year.
- 60.4% - The percent of fatalities that came from nonvenomous animals
- 46.7% - The percent of fatalities occurred in the South
- 3 - The number of fatalities caused by rats
While such statistics might act as a catalyst for dire thoughts about safety, Forrester is quick to put the information in perspective.
"In the grand scheme of what affects the U.S. populous, animal attacks are relatively low," said Forrester. "Cardiovascular disease and trauma are things that present much more of a threat."
But what did concern Forrester about the data was that it illuminated the risk particular animals pose to certain vulnerable demographic groups.
"There are certain categories where elderly and children are more likely to have fatal encounters, one of those being dog bites," said Forrester. "A lot of that has to do with the fact that when you're small or very old your less able to defend yourself, increasing the chances for a fatal outcome."
Which is why more detailed information about the risks particular animals pose to groups can go a long way to combating animal-related fatalities.
"Unfortunately, many reported fatalities, particularly among the aged and the very young, could be avoided by following well-established preventative measures," Forrester concludes in his report. "By understanding which subpopulations are at risk for fatal animal encounters, interventions can be implemented or reinforced to minimize the mortality associated with these encounters."

During depression, music was my sole respite: Raghubir Yadav
Udaipur, June 9 (PTI) He is known for his acting prowess, but ''Peepli Live'' star Raghubir Yadav says he is passionate about singing which works as his biggest strength during troubled times.
The actor''s musical skills came to the fore when he sang ''Mehngai Dayain Khaye Jat'' for the Aamir Khan production and is set to lend his voice for Nagesh Kukunoor''s upcoming film ''Mod''.
"I always wanted to be a singer but films just happened and then stayed with me. I haven''t considered taking up singing as a career because I don''t know whether the current generation will like my style," Yadav told PTI.
The actor is going through a rough phase in his personal life, being involved in a legal battle with his ex-wife and says music is his only hope that gives him the will to overcome his problems.
"I was in depression for a very long time because of my ex-wife. I had run away to stay in isolation, I was tired of her and her demands. That was the time when listening to music gave me strength and peace of mind. Music was my only friend," said the actor, who is currently shooting for Ishraq Shah''s political thriller ''Ek Bura Aadmi'' in Udaipur.
Yadav will be seen playing a father in the upcoming movie ''Mod'', which also stars Ayesha Takia and VJ-actor Ranvijay Singh. The movie is a remake of a Taiwanese film ''Keeping Watch''.
Yadav, who has portrayed German dictator Adolf Hitler in the movie ''My Friend Hitler'', says it was a challenging role and he is glad that he took it up. .

day 2,974: john krasinski still does not have an emmy
"I hope that I never have to work at this location again under different circumstances. I hope that in my memory…when I drive down this road, our buildings are here, and our set is here. I never want to come here and walk through that stage door and see anything else, because that way it will always be there." - Jenna Fischer (x)
Jimmy FallonLate-night host, 38
He's a brilliant comedian. A talented musician. A spot-on impersonator. Jimmy has redefined and recharged late-night television with a genuine excitement and energy that gets under your skin.
That's probably because watching you laugh might be the thing that makes Jimmy most happy. This explains this man's unwavering mission to get me to break every time we do our send-up sketch of the Gibb brothers on SNL. Or why we jump all over each other's sentences during any segment I've ever been a part of on his show. Jimmy's lightning wit — mixed with a kindness you don't normally find in comedy — is what makes you feel so comfortable having him in your home every night. And no matter where the joke goes, the audience feels like they are in on it too. That's because Jimmy loves to share the moment.
Jimmy's brain doesn't stop either. He is constantly punching up jokes out loud or improvising when we are in the same room — no matter who else is around.
Picture this: I'm in the heart of an impromptu speech at my wedding reception in front of 150 guests, pouring it out to my lovely new bride. You could hear a pin drop. I paused for just a moment in between thoughts. And then there was Jimmy, shouting a joke from his seat, sparking an improv between the two of us that went on for a good five or 10 minutes and had all our guests roaring with laughter. Interrupting the groom's speech at the wedding reception? Cracking jokes when your buddy is looking desperately for the words to say that he hopes his wife will remember forever? It turned into a moment that everyone there will remember forever. Anyone else would have bombed on that stage. And then I would have kicked their ass.
But this was Jimmy Fallon.
He just can't help himself. And neither can we.
Okay so I was watching the Modern Family episode where they went to Disneyland and for whatever reason I was thinking of what it would be like if Parks and Rec went to Disneyland and then the entire episode I was thinking of what the characters would have been doing and I just really felt the need…

Mike Schur: The design of the first half of the year was that Leslie helps her friends, I mean she's helped them a million times, but we wanted to really show her doing specific things for specific people so that when we got to the Christmas episode, and they all decided to do this incredibly selfless thing for her, you would really remember why. The waterworks are gonna start in a second-
Amy Poehler: Forget it.
Mike Schur: Yeah. So that's why like when Entertainment 720 went down, and even though Tom was ruining Leslie's Chamber of Commerce thing, she still, when she found out her friend was in trouble, it was like, all right, like let's put this aside, and let's deal with Tom, and she's been helping April try to become a better person, she's always helping Andy, she helped Ron escape the crutches of Patricia Clarkson, and the idea was to try to, in the first ten episodes, to really show like the specific ways that she is there for her friends, so that when we pulled our 'It's a Wonderful Life' moment, and they all reciprocated, Ron has that line—this is where she's gonna start crying in like ten seconds—when Ron has that line where he says, 'Name one person here who you haven't put your life on hold for to help us', you know, we wanted that to be fresh in peoples' minds that she is constantly doing these heroic things for her friends…you all right?

Adventures with Lady Macduff
Cawdor here.
The following is a true accounting of a narrowly averted crisis. :)
So there I was last night, watching this pregnant woman who just wanted to dance with her husband. First this witch steps in and steals her man, then this other horrible woman drugs her! She stood in front of me, swaying and stumbling until she fell, right back into my arms! I gently lowered her to the floor.
And that's when all hell broke loose for about 60 seconds. Apparently no one but me noticed.
First of all, it was Isadora Wolfe, so, hair. SO. MUCH. HAIR. :) The clasp of my bracelet got tangled in her hair as I lowered her to the ground. A slight-but-manageable panic set in.
Internal monologue: "I can get that out, I can feel that it's not too bad. As soon as I lower her head I'll use my left hand to separate the hair and we're OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" PANIC.
The THAT to which I refer was the fact that I caught, out of the corner of my eye, my thistle pocket watch falling out of my pocket and heading directly for her face. And her eyes were closed. PANIC.
With cat-like agility, I slapped the pocket watch as it fell with the back of my left hand. it hit the floor right next to her head, and the bow broke off. PANIC.
So now there's a swinging chain hanging off my vest, maybe an inch from her eye. My watch is on the floor next to her head and my bracelet is still caught in her hair. PANIC.
I scooped the watch, then shoved it and the chain in my pocket. I slipped my left hand into her hair, freed my right wrist and slid it out from under her head just as Danvers came to wake her. PHEW. PANIC OVER, YOU SMOOTH BASTARD. NICE ONE, ALMOST GAVE HER A BLACK EYE AND RIPPED OUT A CHUNK OF HER HAIR. YOU DA MAN, DAWG.
Longest minute I have ever spent in the McKittrick.
We went stumbling up the stairs together, and she seemed to recognize me. We prayed, I was salted, that all went super smoothly, Mainly because I tried not to move or blink or screw it up by, I don't know, tripping and crushing her to death or accidentally setting the apartment on fire or whatever stupid slapstick thing was threatening to happen next.
Later in the bar I asked Isadora and she said she didn't have any idea it'd happened. She also mentioned that stuff gets stuck in her hair all the damn time. :)
Needless to say, Isadora was brilliant and beautiful and she's the best.
P.S. Got the watch fixed today for five bucks. Old school watch repair guy with a huge box of spare parts for the win.

Habit (from Merriam-Webster.com): "A behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance."
"An acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary."
I remember a time in my mid-twenties when I was newly married with no kids and minimal responsibilities, save for my day job of freelance writing and editing from home. Most nights, at five o'clock, my best friend would come to my apartment and join me for a bottle of wine. Eventually, my husband would come home, and the three of us would finish the bottle and maybe open another one before we went out for dinner or drinks with friends.
This routine became as regular as brushing my teeth and continued for quite some time. Eventually, I started waking up with a fuzzy, out-of-it feeling, most likely from an allergy to the sulfites in the wine. I began working in an office, and I had to curtail my habit so I could function at work, but it was hard. The habit was so deeply ingrained and so pleasurable before the consequences set in that I chose to endure the hangovers for quite some time.
Like anything else, drinking can become a habit and move beyond the realm of relaxation and pleasure into something we just do — and something that becomes harder and harder to stop doing.
So how does this happen?
According to New York Times business writer Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, every habit starts with a three-part process — a psychological pattern called a "habit loop." In drinking terms, it goes like this:
First, there's a cue. In my case, 5 pm was Happy Hour Time! My friend came over, and this told my brain to kick into automatic mode and let a certain behavior unfold…
The routine, or the behavior itself: the drinking, which gave me a…
Reward, or something your brain likes that helps it remember the "habit loop" next time. In the case of drinking, the reward could be the buzz or the camaraderie. In my case, the reward was most definitely the pleasure of hanging out with my friend and my husband for hours, doing nothing else but chatting and laughing.
Duhigg explains that habit-making behaviors come from a different part of the brain than decision-making behaviors. Habits come from the part of the brain responsible for emotions, memories and patterns. When a behavior becomes automatic, the decision-making part of your brain has to work less and less and goes into a kind of sleep mode.
So what can we do to change or modify our habits? (I'm not talking about people who are ankle-deep in their addictions — they'd probably do better with detox and rehab.)
My guess would be to start with a disruption of habits. For example, if five o'clock is the cue for Happy Hour, try having five o'clock tea, or going for a five o'clock walk with a friend. If the reward is camaraderie, find another way to spend time with friends.
Here's an interesting quote from Charles Duhigg: "The weird thing about rewards is that we don't actually know what we're actually craving."
If you find yourself mired in habits, it might be best to work backwards and ask yourself, what is it I really want? Not an easy question to answer, but worth it. When I was sharing the bottle of wine with my friend and husband, what I really wanted, I think, was to make time slow down, to take a breather from doing things and process the day.
As Duhigg points out: "What we know from lab studies is that it's never too late to break a habit. Habits are malleable throughout your entire life. But we also know that the best way to change a habit is to understand its structure — that once you tell people about the cue and the reward and you force them to recognize what those factors are in a behavior, it becomes much, much easier to change.
With regards to Alcoholics Anonymous, Duhigg writes:
…the reason why AA works is because it essentially is this big machine for changing the habits around alcohol consumption and giving people a new routine, rather than going to a bar or drink… It doesn't seem to work if people do it on their own… At some point, if you're changing a really deep-seated behavior, you're going to have a moment of weakness. And at that moment, if you can look across a room and think, 'Jim's kind of a moron. I think I'm smarter than Jim. But Jim has been sober for three years. And if Jim can do it, I can definitely do it,' that's enormously powerful.

Vote of the week: How to make a 'real' Krusty Burger?
Written by Robert Niles
Universal Orlando's got a problem.
Forget the challenge of building a Transformers ride in less than a year. Or coming up with a worthy sequel to the wildly popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Universal's got both of those covered. The real challenge for the Universal Orlando Resort is…
How do you actually make a Krusty Burger?
Universal's making fast progress on its new (and, yes, still officially unannounced) Springfield area for Universal Studios Florida. Included in that newly revamped land will be the facades of Moe's Tavern and Krusty Burger, standing where the old International Film Festival food court once stood. Universal's clearly planning to open a new restaurant in that space, as it has advertised already for personnel to work the new facility.
But if Universal's building a Krusty Burger, aren't people going to demand that Universal serve actual Krusty Burgers?
This isn't as simple as the challenge of creating Butterbeer. As successfully as Universal Orlando's executive chef, Steve Jayson, and his team nailed that task, they had it easy. People were supposed to like Butterbeer. Krusty Burgers are "the unhealthiest food in the world," vile fast food that the restaurant's owner, Krusty the Clown, wouldn't imagine actually eating. ("Ewww! I almost swallowed some of the juice!")
So what do you do? Do you honor of the spirit of hard-core, orthodox fans (think Comic Book Guy) and remain faithful to the canon, even if that means creating a new, horrible-tasting Krusty Burger to serve Universal's Simpsons fans? Or do you sell out the story and opt to serve something tastier instead?
It's fun to imagine selling nasty burgers to a horde of theme park tourists (other than us, of course), but what would you do if you were running the Universal Orlando Resort? Maybe you just slap the Krusty Burger name on your regular burgers, saving yourself the expense of developing and serving another food product? Or maybe you look for a way to avoid the issue entirely, and ask Universal Creative to work with Matt Groening to come up with some story to explain why this Krusty Burger location is selling a different type of burger than Springfield's infamous original Krusty Burger?
It's Vote of the Week time.
Readers' Opinions
From 22.214.171.124 on April 19, 2013 at 8:48 AM
They should do the tax burger jokes to the menu. When tax time comes, they could change the menu to the IRS burger very much follow when Krusty lost everything to the IRS episode.
From Mike Gallagher on April 19, 2013 at 9:44 AM
This may seem totally unrelated, but bear with me. On Rt. 80 W. in PA, there's a truck stop in a town called Emlenton. I had passed it several times, always noting the signage and billboards that proclaimed it the home of "The World's Worst Apple Pie." I finally stopped there one time on my way to Cedar Point. The place was jammed, not just with truckers. And I saw an awful lot of people with apple pie on their plates. I got a piece. Was it the worst ever? No, not in my book. But it wasn't particularly good either. The point is, I'm not much of a fan of apple pie. But that sign not only enticed me to stop, but to try a piece.
I answered "Create a new, awful tasting burger" to this question. Universal can market it as an awful burger six ways to Sunday, but as long as it's edible, people will go for it. "If you fry it, they will come."
From Sean Huckel on April 19, 2013 at 9:13 AM
I think people have taken the fast food parodies depicted in the Simpsons far too literally.
I want an amazing burger for Krusty Burger. I want the best theme park counter service burger in the world.
From Jeff Elliott on April 19, 2013 at 9:19 AM
I think they should borrow/swipe the recipe from the Heart Attack Grill and use that over the top and greasy, yet tasty, idea to build a Krusty Burger.
From 126.96.36.199 on April 19, 2013 at 9:24 AM
Charred black on the outside, but a nice juicy medium rare on the inside.
From James Koehl on April 19, 2013 at 9:47 AM
I went for a new, aweful tasting burger, non-toxic and edible but memorably terrible. Make it obvious (and very clear to anyone ordering it) that you order and eat it at your own risk, that there will be NO refund, and price it high enough so that people can't order it acidentally. Perhaps signing a waiver(legally unenforceable but both fun and to reinforce how terrible the burger is) and perhaps a serving line dedicated to that burger, to not let the appetite-handicapped diners from slowing down the regular line.
It's a theme park- stay loyal to the theme!
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 10:04 AM
Universal's burgers are already terrible. Just slapping the name on their already horrible burgers will suffice and will actually be humorous. The burgers really are the equivalent to the Nescafe coffee Disney's finally replacing.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 10:09 AM
I can see Creative getting with Matt and coming up with why they don't serve KB...something like the Springfield department of Health finally did something to put a ban on the production of the burger or maybe all the radio active cows that are used bought my Mr. Burns for his dogs...I see so many options with this.
From Eric Malone on April 19, 2013 at 10:21 AM
If I were to hazard a guess, the task at hand would be to make a hamburger that LOOKS awful, but tastes great.
Good luck!
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 10:58 AM
I'd question if it is possible to make a truly disgusting burger (in appearance) while maintaining a tasty standard. After all, if we consider the demographic that this is intended for, a "gross-out" factor is likely more appealing than a culinary experience. The Instagram hashtags would write themselves for family vacations with burgers that look repulsive...while still being edible, possibly tasty. On the opposite end of the spectrum look at high end NYC chefs at Atera that are creating dishes that look like bark and stones or an eloquent dish of squid ink pasta. Why would someone want to eat that? Gross (or not normal) appearance doesn't have to extend to the tasty -- and the kids will love it. I have faith the creative team and chefs can come up with something on-brand that isn't going to have to come with a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 11:17 AM
They should have a selection. You could order a "real" awful tasting Krusty burger if you want. You can, also, order a regular burger called Krusty Special.
From 188.8.131.52 on April 19, 2013 at 11:22 AM
I'm just hoping they finally get a decent veggie burger and prepare it far away from the meat. Every Florida theme parks fails big time with vegetarian options. :(
From Dominick D on April 19, 2013 at 11:25 AM
Create a new burger that tastes great. I've had burgers at Universal's counter service and Hard Rock Cafe, and there's a BIG difference between the two.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 12:21 PM
Slap the Krusty Burger name on your regular hamburger = creating a terrible burger worthy of the Krusty name.
From Shannon Nelson on April 19, 2013 at 12:48 PM
I say stick to the story. If its not healthy, well it not something you would eat all the time anyway. And if it is high in calories, you do enough walking around the resort to burn off plenty. There are enough good burgers in city walk anyway. It will be a novelty item so it should be true to the show.
From Dan Glynn on April 19, 2013 at 7:05 PM
I think you miss the point with krusty burger. It's just McDonald's with a different sign. They even make the comparison in the show. They even do special burger events, like the ribwich. Krusty doesn't like it because it's common, he likes the finer things in life, even though he can't afford them. Standard burger joint food will be fine. People will buy it once because of the reference, and that's all Universal want initially.
From Gabriel Schroll on April 19, 2013 at 1:24 PM
Like Jeff said, they should copy the formula for Las Vegas' Heart Attack Grill.
Obviously, health warnings would need to be made extremely clear, but not everyone wants to go to Las Vegas, but at least once in their life, everyone wants a REAL burger!!
From Noel G on April 19, 2013 at 3:26 PM
I agree with the post, chared on the outside, delicious in the middle.
Correct me if I am wrong, what about a Alligator burger. It is different, the meat is in abundance, but a healthier option at the same time? Make it heart smart burger for a change?
From 126.96.36.199 on April 19, 2013 at 4:23 PM
I actually think they could have "two" signature burgers.
One could be a standard burger (i.e something everyone could / would order)
The second could be the gross "novelty" burger. (For the fun people who would buy it just because)
There is a market for those who'd try it. For example, those Jones sodas like turkey & gravy & green bean casserole sell pretty well considering the contents.
And I don't necessarily think it has to be super unhealthy, just "gross". (random foods tossed together)
From AJ Hummel on April 19, 2013 at 5:00 PM
I'm not familiar with the Simpsons or Krusty Burger, but based on the description I would try to come up with a burger that looks like it would be terrible and completely unhealthy, but actually tastes good and is at least as healthy as the average fast food burger. If they were just looking for a terrible burger, they might as well call up Six Flags or Cedar Fair and ask for their recipe.
I also like Jeff's idea of copying the Heart Attack Grill, as long as they don't go and serve quadruple bypass equivalents to park guests (can't imagine that would sit too well after a spin on Transformers).
From Sylvain Comeau on April 19, 2013 at 5:55 PM
I honestly don't think they will produce vile, inedible food just for the sake of theming. Theme park food is bad enough already!
From James Koehl on April 19, 2013 at 6:21 PM
AJ, I can't speak for other Cedar Fair parks, but the burgers at Cedar Point have greatly improved. They are now fresh, not frozen, and show what appears to be a true dedication to improving the food quality across the board. Last year we made several trips to Cedar Point just to eat dinner at the Game Day Grill. The food quality was wonderful- the fruit plate was fresh and flavorful and the white chili there was just about the best I have ever had. It isn't to the level of Disney yet, but they are trying hard.
From AJ Hummel on April 19, 2013 at 6:30 PM
^Perhaps it's just Knott's Berry Farm and not all of Cedar Fair, then. I haven't eaten in the park in a few years, so it may have improved, but I remember it being the worst park food I've had anywhere, hence why I now generally go to the Pink's right outside the gate (way better than anything inside and about 30% cheaper as well). I still have no idea how the Chicken Dinner Restaurant outside is pretty good but the now defunct (as far as I'm aware) Chicken To Go location in the park (which is supposed to serve the same stuff) was terrible.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 19, 2013 at 6:34 PM
My vote is to actually just serve the normal Universal theme park burgers. It's actually kind of genius, if you think about it. Those burgers are not very good. And the Krustyburgers are not supposed to be very good. So this is one restaurant that can never have people saying that the food didn't live up to expectations...because it is supposed to be bad.
The thing is, though, that I'd wager 95% (or more) of the people who'd wander in there for a burger would never know that Krustyburgers are supposed to taste bad (like on the TV show). The Simpsons is only casual viewing for most people these days and few will know the minutia of the show's history. If something didn't happen last week and isn't covered in TMZ this morning then most people will not know about it.
An interesting thought for Krustyburgers is actually to make them vegetarian burgers...and not use any meet. That could be an interesting inside joke...and also a riff on the "Doublemeat Palace" burger from the old Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode (where the big secret that the burger place was hiding was actually that their burgers were made from soy and vegetables and no meat). A lot of people will think a vegetarian burger tastes weird and odd...but it is edible and a vegetarian option would be interesting for guests. The backstory could be that Krusty saves money by using only vegetarian patties and no meat in the restaurant but he lies to customers and tells them it's real meat. Maybe Homer could "expose" this to guests somehow (so that people are aware it's all vegetarian burgers inside).
I'm actually more interested in the "Flaming Moe's" drink I am sure they will make. Remember it's supposed to taste like cough syrup and have that fire element. Obviously, real flame cannot be used but maybe special cups could have flames on them? I think the cough syrup was purple so I always thought that the Flaming Moe would taste like grape. Lisa ordered a "Virgin Moe" in that episode so there was a nonalcoholic version. They will probably have it straight or frozen...maybe they will even just call it a Frozen Moe instead of a Flaming Moe.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 20, 2013 at 3:58 AM
Anyone eating amusement park hamburgers is probably not too concerned about what is in them. Perhaps the horse meat burgers from England would be a good fit.
I recommend calling them "Prion Burgers."
From 184.108.40.206 on April 21, 2013 at 8:16 AM
Put up a sign saying Florida Health laws prohibit the sale of the KrustyBurgers sold elsewhere in the country, and that a few ingredient substitutions were required as a result.
From James Koehl on April 21, 2013 at 6:09 PM
AJ, interesting you should mention Pink's. Cedar Point got the first Pink's east of the Rockies a few years ago. I get a hot dog there at least once each season.
From Maurice Hayes on April 22, 2013 at 1:12 AM
Whatever about the Krusty Burger as long as they have the "Ribwich" on the menu I'll be happy.
Krusty did announce that it would not be made anymore, as the unnamed animal whose meat was used for the burger had become extinct. But that just made me want it more.
From Michael Owen on April 22, 2013 at 11:51 AM
The Simpsons Ride is set in Krustyland, which is built up in the pre-show as an awful theme park, yet the ride itself is great.
Krusty Burger should follow suit. Plenty of jokes about the food and service around the restaurant but a good actual product.
From 184.108.40.206 on April 24, 2013 at 7:23 PM
Not sure but the Moe's and Krusty's, individually, will be way too small for a theme park, so I expect them to flow together and form one place. Currently there is no alcohol on that side of the park, so Moe's will be a welcome addition. As far as the burger I think we all know it will be the same old burger as the rest of the park.

I know, that's the last thing I should be thinking about. I have my gym gear but I think the last time I really purchased work out clothes was in high school? Give or take a few tanks and shirts. Now that I complement yoga with my regular gym routine I'm running out of workout clothes. To some, the clothes you wear may simply be a superficial element of "being fit" but it's so much more than that. When clothes become functional and well tailored I think it improves more than just a visual aesthetic. When you look good, you feel good. Walk a little taller, push those poses a little longer, stand a little firmer, feel a little stronger.
My new addiction soon led me to online window shopping. I've always been a fan of Lululemon and was introduced to it on our Santa Barbara trip a couple years ago but never had a reason to purchase much. Glenn bought me a hoodie from there solely because I planned poorly and didn't have a jacket. Ever since then I never bothered to check it out. Now that there's a store walking distance from me I think I'm more inclined to getting some gear (if only it weren't so pricey).
So I have my cute purple mat but that's pretty much the only thing I have.
Here's what popped up on my wish list:
So I could keep my mat clean and fresh.
+Black Walkabout Pants
Love pants for yoga—it's just more comfortable.
+Mat Strap & Harness
Unnecessary but it keeps things neat =)
