If you're addicted to HGTV like we are, you no doubt have seen the wildly popular Cousins Undercover show starring Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri. The show just wrapped up its second season which features surprise renovation makeovers for local heroes in neighborhoods across the country.
In addition to his television commitment, John has spent the last six years working in the family business — Brunelleschi Construction – and looking for a place to put down his own roots. While driving to work one day, John's wife spotted a For Sale sign. She insisted that John come take a look at the property.
"It was very deceiving because the sign was on the main road and I didn't want to build our home on a main road," John explains. "But the property is actually more than two acres and surrounded by wetlands, so our home would be nestled in the woods with lots of privacy." John finally got the chance to turn his construction expertise closer to home. This project marked his first-ever, ground-up construction.
"I figured since it was my personal home, it was a good place to start," he says laughing.
Although this was new construction, John and his wife both wanted a mix of old and new. In addition to new materials, the couple sourced some 200-year-old barn wood from a barn that was salvaged from Ohio which is now spread throughout the house.
"My wife and I love barns, but we knew contemporary design would be a must when designing the house," John explains. "We love bringing the new and old together since it creates rich stories and unique elements to the home." For lighting, they wanted to stay traditional yet find barn lighting that would also give a contemporary edge.
"It's a delicate balance when choosing lighting, and I made sure that I did not step over that line and do anything that looked out of place," he adds. They found the perfect blend for their exterior lighting with the Barn Light Electric collection of LED Barn Lights.
"This was a no-brainer to use LED and it's something every homeowner should transition to," John says. "The LED bulbs will last for so long, I will never have to change the bulbs out in my lifetime." On the side of the house, John chose the Drake LED Gooseneck Barn Light, a classic gooseneck light customized with a 12″ shade, traditional Black finish, and a G34 gooseneck arm in Brushed Aluminum.
"I wanted to have the traditional gooseneck for the exterior of the home to give the illusion that this was an original barn," John notes.
On the patio, the couple opted for another classic light — the Original™ Stem Mount LED Pendant in a generous 24″ shade. These six American-made pendants were hand crafted and customized with a Black finish and 6″ stem. The LED options include 1250 lumen LED and domed lens.
"These are beautiful here! I have two 15-foot openings of LaCantina bi-fold doors that open onto the back patio," John explains. "I wanted a light that made a statement and also would illuminate the area with beautiful light."
When it came to making a statement by the front door, John jumped into our Porcelain Enamel LED Collection and found the Wheeler™ Dino LED Wall Sconce. This RLM-inspired warehouse shade has roots in early 20th century lighting and is crafted from commercial grade steel. Three coats of porcelain enamel glass are hand applied then baked on to a high-gloss finish that will never fade or corrode. Add the energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED element and you have an outdoor wall sconce that will truly last for generations.
"There is no reason to use incandescent bulbs anymore, and I want to save as much energy as possible," John says. He customized this LED wall sconce with a 14″ shade, Black finish, 1250 lumen LED, and a domed lens.
"I love the uniqueness of the lights. Everyone that comes over always asks about the lights and wants to know where I got them," John says. "Of course I tell them, but deep down I want to keep it a secret!"
Be sure to come back Monday where we'll continue our tour of John's new home with a peek inside, and let me tell you, the kitchen is incredible! Check out even more photos of the construction by following John on Instagram and Twitter. And don't miss the Cousins on Facebook and Twitter!

Ever wonder what goes on behind the closed doors of the Barn Light Electric R&D department? Odd pieces and parts lie on every available surface, there's a constant demand for coffee, and we hear plenty of muttering going on. It's all in a day's work as the team creates new fixtures that honor the history and style of vintage lighting.
And while we have launched many new products over the last several years, the R&D team hits one out of the park today with a collection that truly embodies the spirit of our motto — where vintage and modern collide.Read More

This time of year it's easy to get sidetracked by all of the holiday goodies piled high on party platters, but December is also the month when I crave oysters. An oyster feast on Christmas Eve is a great way to kick off the festivities!
For those of you on the Jersey shore, Steve & Cookie's By the Bay is a great place to stop in for a dozen or two. Located in Margate, south of Atlantic City, this oyster bar was recently remodeled and the owners opted to replace the boring track lighting with some classic barn pendant lights. And since the restaurant is a member of the Green Restaurant Association, the owners chose the Original™ Warehouse LED Pendant.Read More

And, in other news..... The Chrysler workers who were fired for drinking beer and smoking pot in the parking lot while on the clock about a year ago, were reinstated yesterday with backpay. The UAW took the case to arbitration, claiming there wasn't enough evidence (never mind that the whole thing was video taped). These alcoholic potheads then went back to assembling cars that unwitting housewives drive their children to school in. It gives me a warm fuzzy fealing to know that the downtrodden workers are being protected by the UAW.

My wife and I will be staying in Dallas next weekend. Is there any decent bbq around? From reading all of the posts I stumbled across, the answer is no. We don't mind driving a bit. Most of our activities for the visit are during the day. Saturday around Dallas, Sunday around Fort Worth. Anywhere on the outskirts that may make for an ok evening/night drive?
In Fort Worth there are two places that are reported to be good. I'll let someone else chime in as I've not been to either one. North of Dallas in Van Alstyne, there is a place called The Rib Joint. It's an all you can eat type place, but the food is very good. Also good sides and fresh yeast rolls.
frikinelmo : Dallas is currently in a prolonged BBQ drought . Baby Back Shak is our only legitimate contender , but it's Memphis style que , which means their brisket should not be ordered . Everything else is OK . Since you mention Fort Worth , that is where you should do your BBQ . Angelo's is stellar , and an old time TX BBQ joint . The Railhead is also good, and a bit more "joint" , even though it is a very carefully planned out joint . You will be happy with either Angelo's or Railhead .
It should be noted that Angelo's is closed on Sunday and it's not in a "pretty" part of town, but don't let that deter you from enjoying their bbq on Sat evening.

Fort Worth, TX 76107

re: CocoaNut
I recommend the Railhead in Fort Worth at 2900 Montgomery.
Although totally unremarkable in atmosphere, Baker's Ribs on Greenville Ave. (their best location) has excellent ribs and pulled pork. Their brisket is "OK" provided, you ask for a fatty piece.
Also, the Spring Creek chain serves very credible BBQ. Not Austin quality but better than, "OK" for Dallas.
And then of course, there's always the (original) Sonny Bryan's on Inwood. I reccommend the chopped beef sandwich and a beverage. The "famous" (deep fried) onion rings are good. If your body can take the fat.
re: twinwillow
As long as you're on Greenville Ave. (Baker's Ribs, per earlier post) ... drive two miles north to Back Country BBQ. The best brisket, if you like it very smoky, very lean but very tender. One of the best potato salads you will ever find. The nicest overall BBQ "experience" I've found in Dallas.
re: twinwillow
sf chowhounder here on a business trip. i'm getting toted along to a group dinner at sonny bryan's tonight for dinner but i don't eat red meat... no pork or beef. is the chicken worth eating??? help!
and to make it more complicated, i can't eat dairy... milk, cheese, butter, cream. it's a very sad state of affairs. am i correct in guessing i can't eat any of the vegetable sides or biscuits?
re: artemis
you'll be ok - there are non-beef, non-pork options that taste pretty good. here's the menu:
I'd go for the pulled chicken.
Too late for original poster -- but in Dallas head for Peggy Sue's in Snider Plaza, near SMU, off Hillcrest, just south of Lovers Ln. Their ribs are better than Sonny Bryan's, and the chopped brisket is excellent. The Piggy Soo sandwich is pulled pork -- not often found in Texas -- and i like it better than their brisket even. Great smoked chicken salad. My husband says theirs is the best chicken fried steak he has had in Dallas -- no matter what a particular local magazine says.

Director's blog July
Dear Brinker admirers,
Last night Amsterdam cried: our guys in Brazil were defeated by the Argenitian boys….the end of the World Cup for the Netherlands, so no more Sourz shots for 1 euro during the dutch matches. But as life goes on and the sun in shining in Amsterdam, we focus on more happy stuff: SUMMER in Amsterdam!!!!
Best thing to do at a lazy and sunny afternoon: go to the supermarkt, buy a bottle of wine or a six-pack of Heineken, some snacks and hang out in the Vondelpark! Somewhere in the middle of the park is a small lake, which is the best spot to chill!
No boring evenings in Amsterdam as well: a special party for backpackers, travelers and hostel guests: every Tuesday there is a party called Common Room at club NL. Entrance fee is only € 7,50 including wardrobe and one Heineken bottle (and if you buy the ticket at our reception, you'll get a free drink at our bar too)!
Enjoy July in Amsterdam!

Originally garnishing attention for hosting 3D-printed rifle parts online, Defense Distributed has created the world's first fully 3D-printed gun. The design is currently available for download at the company's website. Dubbed the Liberator, the handgun has 16 parts, 15 of which are made of plastic and were printed in a Stratasys Dimension SST. The 16th piece is a non-functional metal part designed to make the gun detectable by a metal detector in order to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act. What are your thoughts on the entire 3D-printed gun movement?

Never Apologize by Erica Rodefer Winters
'I have learned a bajillion meaningful things from my yoga practice through the years. But nothing has been more valuable than when something finally clicked, and I realized it was OK to be completely, unapologetically me. It was so liberating when I simply stopped trying to people please and just started to speak and live what was true for me. That means embracing all my little quirks and flaws instead of hiding them. Can't do Scorpion Pose? Who cares? Have a sweet tooth? We're all working on something. That little freckle on my toe? It adds character (and gives me a point to direct my drishti during Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana).
That's just the beginning.
I'll never apologize for taking Child's Pose when I need to rest.
I'll never apologize for being a beginner at something—that means there's room to learn.
I'll never apologize for asking for clarification when something doesn't make sense to me.
I'll never apologize for asking for help when I need it.
I'll never apologize for taking care of myself—even if that means saying no to obligations that don't uplift me.
I'll never apologize for saying what I mean, and meaning what I say.
I'll never apologize for seeking contentment instead of upward mobility.
I'll never apologize for choosing presence over planning.
I'll never apologize for failing when I know I've done my best.
I'll never apologize for rewarding myself with a cupcake when I've done my best.'
Love the truthfulness of this article from the Yoga Journal Blog. Never apologies for being yourself and the actions it takes in order to do so.
Its crazy to think that Yoga has only really been a big part of my life for a year! A little over a year ago I went to a free tasters class at Bristo Yoga here in Edinburgh and it was like finding a little piece of a puzzle that I didn't know I was missing, I fell instantly in love.
I feel so happy and blessed to have found something that nourishes me physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is the tool that has brought together all the areas of my life that I previously found so hard to balance. I guess this is why yoga means fusion and unison.
It has caused me to re-evaluate my priorities and the way I lead my life. It has brought me closer to my passion for a holistic approach to living, the importance of health and being close to nature. It has heightened my awareness in my internal sensitivity and wider environmental spectrum for the impact we all have on the planet. It has exposed me to the ethics of Speciesism, the belief that we should treat all living organisms; human, animals and nature equally. Which is what ultimately made it easy for me to finally decide to become a Pescetarian, (a diet that includes seafood but not the flesh of other animals) an idea I have been flirting with for about 2 years. But most of all, it has just made it clear to me that these are my beliefs, the 'gut feeling' I have about the way I want to live.
This great passion has pushed all my boundaries and taken me to extraordinary places in both a metaphorical and literal sense. The time I spent inThailandthis summer practising and learning about yoga was a life changing period of my life. My time there really brought such peace and much needed serenity. It stirred all my emotions, mostly positive but also the challenging negative doubts that we tend to push to the back burner. It was a period of self reflection, I don't think I have ever been so truthful with myself or exposed to so much honesty from others. We may as well been practising naked because there were no lies in that yoga hall. Three thoughts always came to me as I prepared to practise, 'come as you are', 'leave your ego at the door' and 'right here, right now'. These are principals I have since tried to live by.
The challenge is trying to keep this balance after returning to 'reality' and the highs and lows of daily life. It is tough and a lot harder than I thought it would be. There are temptations at every turn to give up this path I have found but I know in the pit of my being that to turn my back on yoga would be to shut a part of myself away. In times of self doubt I need to remember to breath, take a moment and remember that life doesn't need to be complicated or stressful. Life is what we make it and happiness is the ultimate goal. Through the practise of yoga, I have found that. This is a happiness that does not rely on any thing or any one; this is a pure and serene self happiness.
So in the first week of my yoga course, we had roughly 3 lectures a day which means almost 18 lectures a week! Usually my dyslexic mind would have packed up and gone home by now but not here. I wish all classrooms where like these ones where everyone is comfortably situated on yoga mats on the floor. It makes for a nice change to the uncomfortable chairs we are used to being educated in, which not only ruin your posture but also your concentration.
It feels so good to be learning again! I have felt semi brain dead since uni finished. Even though I continue to read and learn about things that interest me, it feels great to be taught by enthusiastic teachers and activate these brain cells.
My mind is bursting with all this new yogic knowledge which I can't wait to put into action.
Never stop learning, the world is your classroom!
A while ago I decided that to me yoga was much more than just a class I attended 3 or 4 times a week. It made me reflect and rethink how I wanted to lead my life. It was then that I decided to make a change, I was going to do something with this curiousity.
I started reseaching and found a month long first level intensive yoga course in Koh Phangan, Thailand that seemed tailored to what I was searching for; an indept look at the fundimentals of yoga. What better way to start than to start right at the beginning.
With that, I booked the course and the hotel which has brought me to the hammock I am swinging in as I write this.
Many people couldn't understand why I would want to travel alone to an unfamiliar place to do yoga. The most common thing I was asked was 'aren't you scared?' and 'wont you get lonely?'. Obviously I was a little terrified, but in that nervous/excited kind of way when you do something for the first time! Being alone should never be a lonely thing, if you can't be comfortable and spend time alone exploring yourself and who you are then you will always have a lonely existence of trying to find other things and people to define you. Instead of being afraid of the chances I take, I am much more frighten of the opportunities I might miss.
In a years time I will *hopefully* be graduating uni, in search for a job with the realities of 'real adult life' slapping me in the face. In many ways this might just be my last summer of freedom! Which is even more incentive to do something worth while.
I must thank my family and parents who have been incredibly supportive and encouraging. My boyfriend too, even though at first he had his reservations about having to spend more time apart, he eventually came around and said 'I will be really pissed off now if you don't do it because of me'. How wonderful it is to have such lovely people in my life :).
Part of me is still in disbelief that I am here! Too often do dreams get tied up in the webs of daily life and not become reality. I am so grateful and glad that this one did :).

I was warned that the first few days of practice is the 'detox period' but maaaann do I feel it. Its a strange correlation as I feel my mind become clearer as my body release its toxins making me feel heavy and sluggish. My body aches, muscles I didn't know I had ache! I would have though the pain would hinder me from doing more poises but everyday as I step into the yoga room, with its warm and comforting atmosphere, the pains and aches seem to fall away as I am overcome with a determination to keep going. Only after 2 days of this morning practice, I have done things I never thought imaginable such as holding my entire body weight off the floor in lotus (crossed legged position), band bends and shoulder stands. You progress so quickly, it actually blows my mind! The teachers all seem to know a secret we don't as they come over to adjust you in a way that motivates you to solider through. It seems they know better than we do of what we are capable off. Such an example is when my teacher lead me through shoulder stands, saying things like 'do it, because you can' like some how she knew my body was capable of what my mind didn't think possible. It really enforces the idea that 'anything is possible if you just believe', we all have such powerful strength locked within us waiting to be unleashed. ♥
This week I embarked on my first morning mysore yoga practice*. I felt my teacher, Susan has been silently urging me to do it for months but I let the usual excuses get in the way. 'Im too busy with college work' 'Im too tired' '8am? your crazy' but now that I am done with college for the year (goodbye third year!) I can finally have some 'me time' to focus on yoga, something I have grown to love.
Day 1:
Today's class was so different to normal classes, where we normally move in unison, following a routine of moves demonstrated by the teacher, this was a much deeper and more personal practice. My teacher would come over, instruct me on a few moves and then move around the room helping others as I attempted the routine myself. With all the heaters on full blast, the walls were sweating and the energy in there was incredible. People from all levels in this warm enclosed space for the purpose of practicing yoga, what ever it was that motivated them to come. Time seemed to stand still as I practiced the Ashtanga routine to the best of my ability. By the time I had finished, I could hardly believe it had only been an hour and a half! It felt like an eternity there doing back bends and downward facing dogs! I didn't want it to end as I lay in shavasana (the rest period) feeling balls of warm energy in my hands.
Rediscovering yoga has been the best thing about this year. In my teens I dabbled with it here and there but looking back now I can see that I was too selfish and immature to grasp the full concept of yoga.
My dad was really the one that first ignited this curiosity. He moved to Hong Kong from England when he was 23 (only 2 years older than I am now) where he became interested in the ways of the East. He was taught by the guru, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi the founder of Sahaja Yoga, which is centred on meditation and self realization. From the stories he used to tell me, he would described her as 'something else', a unique spiritual individual with an extremely powerful presence.
I never met her but I remember her smile and 'the strange red dot' on her forehead from the ring and necklace my father wears as a tribute.
I didn't try to follow in my fathers foot steps, it just kind of happened on its own in my own way.
Last October, there was a free taster lesson at Bistro Yoga School in Edinburgh, I went along with a few friends for a laugh and that was it, I was hooked. What started as a weekly practice became 3 or 4 times a week as I found I began to crave yoga. At times when I felt lost in the superficial subject of fashion, yoga made sense and grounded me as I felt I was doing something with a purpose. Yoga isn't just a form of exercise; it is about connecting your mind to your body and ultimately is a way of life. But I can't pretend to know what I am talking about as I am so early on in my practise. It takes years, DECADES, to master. All I can say is that I am so glad that I have found time and room to bring yoga back into my life. I feel this is only the beginning of a long love affair. ♥
* What is meant by Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga?
Ashtanga Yoga is traditionally taught in what is called 'Mysore style', named after the city of Mysore, India where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (affectionately known as Guruji to his students) has been teaching this practice for over 70 years. A Mysore style class differs from most yoga classes in that the students all appear to be doing their own thing and the only sound in the room is deep breathing. In fact, everybody is following the particular asana series that they are working on, most likely primary or second series, in the same precise order of asanas but to their own individual breath rhythm. Basically it is a self practice done in a group setting. The teacher, or teachers, are walking around the room helping everyone on a one-to-one basis, adjusting or assisting the asanas and generally helping the students to do, and understand, the practice in a way that is most beneficial to each student's body and circumstances.

You should only cope with a good Toronto Dodge dealer and not with all the first one you actually encounter because this will determine how easily you discover the perfect car to meet your requirements.
It goes without saying that the dealer should be able to offer you a beneficial selection of cars to choose from so that your choice is not restricted. Every maker brings out different models and the dealer should for that reason be able to understand and also meet your will need irrespective of whether you are looking for a whole new or used car. Its not surprising that most auto dealers do business in both types of cars while there is immense demand for each particular type.
A great Toronto Dodge vendor should be in a position to will give you car that fits within your budget. You might get an entry level model of a certain car because it features adequate features and is not too expensive. The top stop cars are certainly attractive but might workout to be too expensive. The actual sign of a good motor vehicle dealer is their look for you a suitable auto rather than getting you to purchase what they wish to offer.
Another factor that a lot of people pay great importance in order to is location. This can be a great thing if the best dealer is located nearest you because you will likely then find it very easy to have your car serviced or maybe repaired with the least inconvenience to you.

Ian Michael Smith
|Ian Michael Smith
May 5, 1987
Elmhurst, Illinois, USA
|3 ft 1 in (0.94 m)
Ian Michael Smith (born May 5, 1987) is an American actor, known for his starring role in Simon Birch.[1][2]
His short physical stature (3 ft 1 in (0.94 m)) is a result of Morquio syndrome,[3] a rare enzymatic disorder affecting the circulatory, muscular and skeletal systems.
Life and work[edit]
Smith was born in Elmhurst, Illinois. A Chicago-area hospital worker had approached the parents of young Smith about his auditioning for the leading role in a soon-to-be-filmed motion picture. Like Smith, the film's hero has Morquio Syndrome. The Smiths were concerned about exploitation but after reading the novel on which the film was based agreed to allow their son to audition. Although he eventually lost out on that role (the film was The Mighty and Kieran Culkin landed the part), Smith was recommended for another role in a film based on a novel. This time, his audition tape won over the director and the novice was hired to essay the title role of Simon Birch (1998), suggested by John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany. Because of his height, Smith was the perfect choice to play Simon, described as having been so small when he was born his mother didn't even notice the delivery. The novice actor proved a natural before the cameras and impressed some reviewers who found the film itself treacly and sentimental.
Smith is a 2005 graduate of York Community High School, located in Elmhurst. He has undergone several operations including a spinal fusion and two bilateral osteotomies. He also has a brother, Brian. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009 and Gallaudet University in 2012.[3]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Making conservation cool
Biodiversity is getting some powerful -- and glitzy -- allies
Have you noticed the stodgy scientific term 'biodiversity' has taken on a dash of glitz lately?
In mid-May, there was a swanky dinner in New York City that focused, partly, on 35 global hot spots where the planet's biodiversity is tipping into an ecological abyss.
The standard-bearers for the message were American royalty of sorts: Veteran Hollywood star Harrison Ford and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Both took the stage May 15 at Conservation International's 16th annual New York Dinner.
Just weeks before, Britain's Prince Charles issued a more blunt warning when he compared the Earth to a patient on life-support.
As one of the biggest and most influential American conservation NGOs, Conservation International attracts attention, praise and controversy in equal parts for its work to draw in government and corporate partners on conservation imperatives. Prince Charles' passion for nature needs no introduction. He was talking to plants years before scientists found out they really do communicate.
Environmental issues are gaining a new political lease on life in Canada, courtesy of the backlash over the proposed Keystone and Northern Gateway pipeline projects.
In late May, two of Canada's most respected conservation groups teamed up to release a report on biodiversity.
Ten Cool Canadian Biodiversity Hotspots is a 20-page online report that is beautifully illustrated and comes with a map that marks off the 10 locations, plus individual breakout maps. Two are in Manitoba.
One is Pimachoiwin Aki, the southern boreal forest that is the subject of a UNESCO World Heritage bid. The second location is the Hudson and James Bay lowlands, a coastal area that spans Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec and is known for its polar bears.
The report has four authors: Jeff Wells and David Childs from the Boreal Songbird Initiative, and Frederic Reid and Marcel Darveau from Ducks Unlimited.
The report is intended to draw attention to the boreal forest and its significance to the world beyond the magnificence of its moose, caribou and polar bears.
Canada's boreal region, "is the world's densest terrestrial carbon storehouse. It stores the equivalent of 300-years worth of Canada's annual greenhouse gas emissions," says the report.
The boreal is also the largest source of pristine surface freshwater on Earth.
Ducks Unlimited and the Boreal Songbird Initiative released the report May 22 to coincide with the UN's International Day for Biodiversity.
"We decided to release the report (then) because we continue to feel that northern regions, particularly the boreal forest region of Canada, does not get the high recognition it should for its globally unique biodiversity and ecological features," Wells said.
Most of the globally recognized hot spots are in tropical areas, and while they are important to the planet's health, so too is the boreal, he pointed out.
"Groups like (Conservation International) have been pushing their tropical-species-diversity approach for decades now so, yes, in many ways we are on the cutting edge of getting this broader understanding of diversity into the public arena," Wells said.
Not a single Canadian location features in C.I.'s list of 35 hot spots, but that's not because Canada isn't rich in biodiversity. It's because the country isn't mined out or logged out.
"The concept was back in 1988 that... hot spots have the highest number of endemic plant species and they are at the greatest risk of extinction," C.I. president Russ Mittermeier said from the group's headquarters in Arlington, Va.
Canada has a big advantage over the tropics, added Mittermeier, a man once described as the Indiana Jones of conservation. (No wonder Harrison Ford is on the board.)
"Canada is still in quite good shape... there are not as many species on the verge of going extinct," Mittermeier said.
That's a distinction Canadian scientists want to preserve as climate change thaws the north and opens it to development.

Your search ends at the Enzo, for the perfect little coral heel!

Strut your stuff on a 4" wrapped stiletto heel (plus rubber tip), that rests on a stylish single sole. Cushioned insole. Non-skid rubber sole. Available in whole and half sizes. Measurements are for a size 6. All vegan friendly, man made materials. Imported.
How it fit:
"This is the perfect pink heel. Looks good with anything: a formal dress, jeans, dress pants, etc. Pretty comfortable considering how high the heel is and that I am only 5'2".

How it fit:
"I am IN LOVE with these shoes! The fit is perfection. The toe strap hits high enough that you never feel like you might slip out, and the ankle strap is wide enough to not cut into you. The color is brighter than the picture, but in the best way! I will wear these all the time as the weather gets warmer!"
How it fit:
"These are so cute! The design is simple but the color makes them stand out, you can't find it anywhere. I may have to order the mint also, what a great price!"

The FDA has set the ground work that will ultimately lead to an avalanche of new healthcare apps. Although there are thousands of mobile healthcare apps, most are information-based only. This change suggests serious potential for smartphones and tablet apps to perform many of the same duties previously done only by medical device hardware.

There comes a moment in every relationship or marriage in which the woman is out of tampons and the man is on his way to the store. What happens next is anybody's guess, but in my opinion, it will (and should) make or break the relationship.
The only right response from a man in this case is: "Sure, honey. What brand and absorbency?" Anything resembling being grossed out, horrified, or humiliated is grounds for a breakup. For real. If he wants to be an adult male, in love with an adult woman, then sometimes he is going to have to buy feminine products for his lady. That's love.
This discussion is currently happening on CafeMom, and most of the women seem to agree with me. Their husbands buy tampons from time to time and it's really no big deal. But I have heard different things from women in the past.
Some women say their husbands are too embarrassed to buy them. I will say that very early on in our relationship, when my husband was young and immature, he made jokes about it. He did it, but he was clearly not into the idea. As he has matured, he has gotten used to it.
It's like anything else in marriage -- holding a woman's purse while she shops, having sex on her period, or getting her pickles at 3 a.m. when she is pregnant. You just accept these things if you are a grownup man married to a grownup woman.
Now granted, this isn't something I ask every time. Mostly I get them myself. But it has come up and he has done it. Because he is a good husband.
Besides, a man buying tampons CLEARLY knows his way around a lady's parts, right? I mean, I don't ask just anyone to buy feminine products. I ask my partner. In other words, a man buying tampons is obviously getting laid. He should be proud, not embarrassed.
In fact, most women would be impressed that a man is willing to do so, and if a man makes fun of him, well, it's obvious he is in the minority. Personally, if I were a dude, I might buy tampons just to pick up women (OK, I am joking. Mostly). But seriously? In what other aisle would you find so many women? And in what other aisle would you have the opportunity to prove what an enlightened man you are?
It says: "I am comfortable with my own sexuality. How YOU doing?" That's hot, man.
Does your husband ever buy feminine products for you?

Bottom line: real men will buy tampons for their women. If women have to go buy condoms to go over a guy's penis, men should have to go buy tampons for their women's vaginas!
My dad bought my mom tampons one time, he never did it again. Once my mom found out how horribly teased he got on top of all the hurtful teasing he got every other day at work he did not buy them anymore alone I always went with him after that. You see my dad was hard of hearing and that one time he bought tampons the teasing got really bad after that. It is hard to grow up and see your dad come home from work every day on the verge of tears. It is pure hell.

The Dot-Com Bubble Metaphor is Getting Old
By Daniel Sparks - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: EBAY, FB, LNKD
LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) shares popped as much as 10% in after-market trading hours when the company reported better than expected results. The numbers on the release and the comments in the earnings call painted the picture of a growth company still charging forward full speed. With free cash flow more than tripling for the full year to 142 million from 44 million, maybe the media will subtly phase out dot-com more »
Is Apple Really Losing Ground in Tablets?
By Daniel Sparks - February 7, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, GOOG
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) made headlines yet again with another market share landmark. According to research from firm Canalys, Apple grabbed over 20% of the worldwide PC market (data includes tablet sales). Helped by tablet sales, Apple was able to push through a whopping 27 million units during the quarter. In fact, Apple would have sold even more if it wasn't limited by supply constraints.

Amidst the challenging PC environment, Dell finally announced an official deal to go private yesterday. HP felt it necessary to weigh in: "Dell has a very tough road ahead" – thanks captain obvious.
HP and Dell face the same enemy: mobile devices. Mobile devices continue to play increasingly important roles in our lives. This disruptive trend works both ways: some companies are ruined, others are enhanced. For investors, recognizing these trends more »
Buy Baidu on a 10% Spineless Sell-Off
By Daniel Sparks - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU
When a 10% sell-off slaps a market leader in the face, my ears perk up. In this case, Wall Street has overreacted to Baidu's (NASDAQ: BIDU) fourth quarter earnings report. Worries represent a shortsighted view, missing the big picture. At today's price I see the sell-off as an opportunity for patient investors to pick up shares of China's leader in search and online advertising at a great more »
Android's Fragmentation Is Apple's Opportunity
By Daniel Sparks - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CMGE, GOOG
In a previous article I took an objective look at Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) smartphone growth in China. While Apple's triple digit growth was impressive, it wasn't enough to keep up with Android. In fact, Apple only holds about 5% of China's handset market. Going forward, however, I see Apple's minority marketshare as an enormous opportunity–particularly in light of Android's fragmentation.

Google: A Segment-by-Segment Overview
By Daniel Sparks - February 4, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT
2012 marked a highly successful year for Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). While revenues increased across the board, a few noteworthy highlights include:
- Staggering growth in Android with approximately half a billion Android OS devices activated through September 2012
- The launch of Google's own tablet, the Nexus 7 – a powerful tablet at a compelling price point
- Growing users across Google properties. The company now boasts 235 active users across properties such more »
Apple's Growth in China Pales to Android's
By Daniel Sparks - February 4, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, CMGE, GOOG
In Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) prepared portion of its FQ1 earnings call, Oppenheimer noted that the company established a new operating segment called Greater China in an effort to "provide greater transparency." The segment is made up of Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This is now Apple's second largest region. Going forward, Greater China will be a key metric, given the region's large population and growth.

How to Value Amazon: An Unconventional Approach
By Daniel Sparks - February 2, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, WMT, WSM
Warning. This article takes a completely unconventional approach to stock valuation. I think it's time we approach Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) from another angle.
The unconventional approach
What exactly is my unconventional approach to valuing Amazon? The model itself is nothing out of the ordinary. I project future cash flows and discount them by the time value of money to estimate the fair value of the business. What I do more »
3 Expensive Stocks You Shouldn't Sell
By Daniel Sparks - January 31, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, ISRG, NKE |
There are three types of value investors:
- Cigar-butt investors
- Fair value investors
- Business owners
Cigar-butt investors look for liquid-able assets selling on the cheap. This is often referred to as net-net investing, popularized by Benjamin Graham.
Fair value investors are those who buy stocks when they are trading at a discount to fair value and they sell them when they become overvalued.
Finally, business owners are the investors that treat more »
David Gardner: I Don't Like These Stocks

Motley Fool's David Gardner has made some outstanding picks over the years. His Rule Breakers service has more than doubled the returns of the S&P 500 since its inception. Though I'm keenly interested in his stock picks, I'm also interested to hear what stocks he doesn't like. As shown in the video below, Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) are three more »
This Disruptive Start-Up May Trash Your Thesis
By Daniel Sparks - January 31, 2013 | Tickers: BRK-B, BRK-A, RST, WFC
Warren Buffett is well known for avoiding technology investments. Though it could be argued that there are a few exceptions in the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) portfolio, it's mostly made up of boring businesses that change very little over the years.
This, of course, is part of Buffett's strategy. Buffett once said, "we see change as the enemy of investments ... so we look for the absence more »
Apple is Oversold. Thank You, Mr. Market
By Daniel Sparks - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, GOOG |
Over the past 12 months, investors could have bought Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares for $450 in January 2012, $700 in September 2012, and again for $450 in the past week. These enormous fluctuations, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, are a stark reminder that Ben Graham's favorite allegory – Mr. Market – lives on. As Graham explains him, this colorful character shows up every day to buy or more »
Apple: The Ultimate Dividend Stock?
By Daniel Sparks - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BAGL, ESV, MSFT, STX |
I get it. "Shares Slide on Demand Worries... Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Dips Below $500." I woke up this morning to repetitive, bearish Apple headlines. But thanks to Wall Street's shortsightedness, there is a deeper story here. At these levels, Apple is turning into the ultimate dividend stock.
There are three things income investors look for to identify solid dividend investments:
- A nice yield
- Pricing power
- A relatively low payout more »

Have consumers really tightened their budgets? If so, PetSmart's (NASDAQ: PETM) 1,269 stores haven't noticed. The company continues to thrive. In fact, its stock rose 33% this year, handily crushing the S&P 500. The company has beat and raised guidance in nine of the last eleven quarters. Going forward, both analysts and management have high expectations. What's driving this growth? Two unusual yet powerful growth more »
Is This New CEO A Game Changer?

Six years of annual losses have left Quiksilver (NYSE: ZQK) investors eager for a CEO changeup. Though losses have significantly narrowed, the stock has never returned to its highs above $15.00 per share.

A Low-Priced iPhone? The Pros & Cons

Steve Jobs was well-known for his relentless pursuit of quality. One of his famous quotes reads: "Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles." This philosophy has been ingrained into Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) brand-image. But if there is any credibility to Wall Street Journal's report that Apple is working on a lower-end iPhone that could launch as early as this year more »
Intuitive Surgical Q4 Earnings Preview: All Eyes On Japan
By Daniel Sparks - January 9, 2013 | Tickers: ISRG, MAKO, MDT, SYK, ZMH
In all of the last five quarters Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) has topped estimates, with a surprise factor of about 5%. In four out of five of these quarters, Intuitive Surgical's stock price rose in the two days following the earnings announcement. So you can bet the pressure is on for Intuitive Surgical when it announces its fourth quarter earnings after the market closes on January 22. This quarter more »
Western Union is Grossly Misunderstood
By Daniel Sparks - January 9, 2013 | Tickers: EEFT, MGI, WU
Western Union (NYSE: WU) is the undeniable leader in money transfers through its global network of more than 5,000 agents. Despite the company's evident competitive advantage as the world's leader in money transfers, Western Union is priced for decline, trading at just 6.7 times forward earnings estimates. Fortunately for long-term investors, this conservative valuation has little merit.

The hot topic at last week's meeting of the Trimble County Board of Education was a vacancy the retirement of Evon Horn has presented for the second grade class at Bedford Elementary. To date, the board has not named a replacement for Mrs. Horn. A couple of teachers and some concerned parents were at the meeting to discuss this with the members of the board. The concern is such that there will be too many students in a classroom unless the board agrees to hire a replacement to fill the void.

Talk about good news wrapped in bad: In the midst of grieving the loss of a loved one, you learn that you were named beneficiary of their 401(k) plan. Chances are you've got too much on your mind to make any sudden decisions about what to do with the money.
However, don't procrastinate too long. The IRS has ironclad rules, deadlines and penalties concerning inherited retirement accounts, which vary depending on what type of account it is. This column discusses inherited 401(k) and similar employer-provided plans.
Although I personally don't get the fascination with running races through mud, these days lots of people do.
A few years ago, my two daughters did a mud race together. My oldest daughter, Alison, said the obstacles freaked her out and she doesn't like climbing cargo nets and was leery of leaping over fire.
"Otherwise, the mud was fun," she said. "Once you commit to being muddy and know you're going to feel gross and will be cleaning mud out of your ears for weeks after, it's just plain fun."
June 28, 1984 (30 Years Ago)
A severe thunderstorm struck Bedford Saturday night. Some say, and it was reported on a Louisville television station that a small twister touched down here. Trees were uprooted and limbs taken off and scattered all around Bedford and surrounding districts. Little damage was done to buildings. However, there was extensive damage to the roof of Dow Dunlap's home on Town Branch allowing interior damage from the subsequent rain.
