It's nearly here: summer. It may be hiding around the corner of a few rainy days (or snowstorms, if you're in the Midwest with me), but IT. IS. COMING. I can feel it.
Summer begs for a change to our wardrobes and our makeup routines. It asks us to drop our dark colors in favor of breezy beauty. It reminds us that we look better with a little glow. And so, with the help of Embody Beauty Founder Samjhana Shrestha, I responded. Together, we're bringing you a step-by-step tutorial to enhance your natural glow and emulate one of my style heroes, Blake Lively (girl is ALWAYS glowing. Like, literally. And that hair? Perfection.). Read on for all the natural goodies you need to create The Lively Glow. Read more…
It's December, people. And though some of us maybe finished our holiday shopping over the long, sale-filled holiday weekend, others of us may not be that on top of things. Enter this gift guide.
I love gift-giving. I have an entire secret Pinterest board dedicated to gifts for others so when my husband or sister or best friend mentions something they've been coveting, I have a safe place to stash the idea for later. This year, I'm doing beauty-related gifts for many friends, so I wanted to share a few of my fave pressies. Check them out below (for all budgets, for all kinds of beauty gals).
For the clean beauty skeptic: Since swapping clean products into my whole beauty caboodle, I've tried to convert as many friends as possible to the clean beauty movement. Some are more hesitant than others, and the ones who I have the hardest time convincing are the ones most concerned about cost. So I point them to a multi-tasker that usually woos them to trying more clean products: Acure Organics' Argan Oil. It's a hair-smoother, a cuticle oil, a face moisturizer. And it has a friendly price point if they want to repurchase for themselves.
For the beauty aficionado: The Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics Winter Glow Gift Set. I've talked before about how much I love the Vitamin D Mist, and this set boasts that toner, plus a yummy Vitamin C serum that even my mom loves (and she used to use only Vaseline to moisturize her face). Top those off with a colorless face powder and angled kabuki brush help you hit this season's matte face look and you've got a great combo for a girlfriend who's a tad more in-the-know.
For the makeup maven: I can't say enough about loving Alima Pure's wide range of mineral foundations, but now I love their eyeshadows and mascara as well. Their holiday set, Me Encanta, comes from a collaboration with green makeup artist Kristen Arnett. I love love love the navy shadow included in the kit (I used it as a liner) and the blush is my all-time favorite color (I wore it for my wedding, for Pete's sake). There's even a how-to video on creating a subtle look with the liner, contour powder and blush. Fool proof. And a perfectly well-rounded present.
For the jet-setter: This Travel Therapy Botanical Mood Booster from La Bella Figura Beauty is one of those things I'm not sure how to make it through the day without. It smells like sunshine, it sticks around for a looooong time and I've gotten dozens (not exaggerating) compliments on how I smell, even after not showering for four days, when I'm wearing this puppy. It calms me—and anyone who smells me—down and makes every hurried day, full of airplane travel or just regular old commuting, better.
If you're on a budget: Much like I am. Alexandra once blogged about why she loves gifting aromatherapy, but let me add to her points by saying it's a super easy way to customize gifts and to not have to pick out makeup colors. You know your best friends; you know what's bugging them. Therefore, you know what aromatherapy might benefit them. (Plus, we have a kick-ass deal going on with Essence of Vali until the end of the year. Save your dollar bills and give gifts your peeps will love.)
Or, do a little DIY for the holidays. Get some cute plastic bottles and fill them with a DIY dry shampoo. Or a body scrub. Or a lip balm. The thought goes a long way (and if your friends are like mine, they'll be thrilled you took time to make them something, not just swipe your credit card.)
For the boy: Olie Biologique JUST released a Whisker Oil for before and after shaving. It smells manly and helps reduce redness and irritation. Or check out the body soaps from Osmia Organics. I only got my husband to switch from Dove when he smelled these babies. (Get a body oil for yourself while you're at it—Water Lily is my fave and I started wearing it as a perfume.)
What did I miss? What are you snagging for friends, family or S.O.s?
Happy April everyone! It feels like we might be out of the woods with this whole winter thing finally. And just in time for BBQ fantasies, today's obsession brings us a homemade veggie burger recipe that sounds completely beyond… Two questions:
1. Annette, or someone in the audience, what would be a good replacement for the bread crumbs in this recipe to make it GF?
2. Do you have any veggie burger recipes to share?
Dietary Leanings: Vegetarian with the very occasional hit of meat if my body is asking for it, which it does (weird!)
Ingredient: Mushrooms
Known health benefits: Low calorie, fat free, no cholesterol and low sodium. One cup of mushrooms contains vitamins C, D, B6, B12, plus large doses of riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid along with calcium, iron, potassium, and selenium.
Favorite way to eat this food: Mushroom burgers. I got this recipe from an episode of The Chew (thank you, Clinton Kelly) and I have made a batch every week since. You can make and cook the burgers to reheat, or you can mix the 'batter' then form and cook them as you go. Either way, they are fantastic! I have eaten them as burgers, but more often, I eat them as 'meat' over grains or in a wrap with veggies. So freakin' good!
Some changes I made: I left the cheese and the parsley out, I only used 2 cloves of garlic (6?
Really?) and I used Ener-G egg replacer instead of the eggs. I also used 1 teaspoon dried oregano in place of the fresh.
Olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms (portobello, crimini, button, shiitake), chopped
6 cloves garlic
1/2 cups quick cooking oats
3/4 cup grated Parmigiana cheese
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated carrot
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup parsley
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
6 slices Provolone cheese
6 Brioche burger buns
Heat three tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and toss to coat. Season with a large pinch of salt, the chili flakes and a few cracks of black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms. Add more oil if the pan seems dry. Cook for 5 minutes until onions are soft and mushroomsbegin to brown. Stir in garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant.
Pour the mushrooms into a large bowl. Stir in the oats, cheese, breadcrumbs, carrot, eggs, parsley, and oregano. Season with another pinch of salt. Mix well and form into 6 patties.
Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add patties to pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook patties 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Add a slice of cheese to each patty in the last minute. Serve on buns.
Peanut butter!
Dietary leanings: Pescetarian! And trying to eat as seasonally as I can. But I crave peanut butter year-round.
Ingredient: Fresh ground peanut butter
Known health benefits: (from The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth) Peanuts rank about as high as strawberries in antioxidants. Also, researchers at Purdue University found that "including peanuts in the diet significantly increased magnesium, folate, copper, vitamin E, and arginine consumption, all of which play a role in the prevention of heart disease." Peanuts are also high in niacin, a vitamin B important for keeping the digestive system, skin, and nerves healthy. Also, they're great at keeping you feeling full with all those healthy fats!
My favorite way to eat this food: Smeared on apple slices, in smoothies, or in one of my raw oat concoctions.
Way #1: 1/4 cup of raw oats, 1/4 cup of almond milk, almost 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, 1 tsp (or more!) of raw honey, and between 1 and 2 tbsp of peanut butter. Stir it around until it's mixed together pretty well and then eat (I usually lick the bowl, but that's up to you).
Way #2: I've been eating this for breakfast lately. I make a strawberry/rhubarb compote that I eat instead of store-bought jams (basically I just cook a pint of strawberries (sliced) with 2 stalks of rhubarb (also sliced), add a little water to get it going (not much), a dash of cinnamon and cardamom, and maybe a tiny amount of maple syrup if it needs it). Then I take 1/4 cup of oats, 1/3-ish cup of the compote, and then a tbsp or 2 of peanut butter, add a bit of almond milk if it needs thinning out, mix that all up, and it's like a pb&j without having to eat wheat!
Also my fiance makes an awesome spicy peanut (butter) sauce to put over roasted asparagus. Oh! And that one recipe you guys posted forever ago with the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and maple syrup! Bomb!
P.S. Did I include enough exclamation points to get across how excited I am about peanut butter? Because I took some out.
Despite last week's clash over another meatless menu, we have no plans to give up on Meatless Mondays. Eating less meat is a proven boon for both health and the environment (not to mention your looks). But we do think it's time to mix it up from the menus.
Introducing a new series: My Meatless Obsession. What plant-based food are you in love with these days? Is it almond milk, sunflower seeds, or the carrots showing up in your CSA? How do you fit this ingredient into your menu, and what are its health benefits?
Rebecca is kicking the series off with chia seeds, and Siobhan and Alexandra will get in the game too. Of course, we'd love to get your Meatless Obsession—just email nomoredirtylooks at gmail dot com with OBSESSION in the title!
Dietary leanings: Vegan, gluten free, mostly raw
Ingredient: Chia seeds (yes, the things used to grow chia pets)
Known health benefits: Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids (great for your heart and blood vessels, brain, skin, joints, etc.). They contain all the essential amino acids and are a good source of protein. The seeds are also an excellent source of fiber and calcium, plus other minerals. I've read about Aztec warriors and modern ultra-marathoners using chia for energy. I know when I eat chia for breakfast, it gives me enough energy for a vigorous run/hike/bike or a long morning of work.
My favorite way to eat it: So many ways!
I love multi-taskers in skin care, and in food too. Chia seeds can be incorporated into any meal, fitting nicely into many dishes. Sprinkle them on salad, cereal, or yogurt. Mix them into smoothies, dips (like tahini, hummus, guacamole) and dressings. They can be used in baking as well, though I never bake and haven't tried it. One day I will try making my own raw energy bars in the dehydrator using chia.
Chia seeds add a pleasant, mild nutty crunch to a dish. If you want to keep the crunch then add them at the very last second, because these little guys will soak up 12 times their weight in water. This is a very cool thing, though, because you can use them to thicken sauces and make "pudding." I use chia quite a bit, and here's my current favorite "recipe":
While my first cup of tea is brewing, I pour a couple of tablespoons of chia into a short glass. Then I add fresh orange juice and fresh almond milk in about equal proportions, a total of about one cup of liquid. I mix it up with a spoon to make sure all the seeds are covered. It needs about 15-20 minutes to thoroughly soak up the liquid, and if I stir a couple more times while I'm packing my lunch it keeps the seeds distributed uniformly throughout the liquid instead of clumping (if it clumps, just break up the clump and mix). I let it sit while I do yoga, which is way more than enough time for it to get quite thick. You can play with the proportion of seeds/liquid to get something like a bubble tea consistency, all way to a thick pudding. When I'm ready to eat, I mix in some ground flax and banana slices and eat it with a spoon. I'll be using blueberries when the season hits! I love it for breakfast, but it's a great energizing snack too.
By the way, remember to check your smile after eating chia seeds. They gravitate to the spaces between your front teeth. And if you eat them away from home be sure to carry floss or toothpicks! Are you a chia fan?

After a year-long investigation, Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his office has broken up a drug and human smuggling ring in which 3 of their own officers were caught up in.
One deputy and two detention officers were among 12 others arrested Tuesday.
They have been identified as Deputy Sheriff Alfredo Navarrette, Detention Officer Silvia Rios-Najera, and Detention Officer Marcella Hernandez, all ICE-trained officers.
They are accused of tipping off drug traffickers and human smugglers about ongoing investigations.
Hernandez allegedly had an ongoing personal relationship with a major drug kingpin and was 8-months pregnant with his child. According to court documents, she arranged the transfer of multiple heroin loads and allowed her boyfriend's drug trafficking organization to use her two houses as stash houses.
Perhaps the most shocking revelation is that Navarrette used to work in the anti-human smuggling unit for a short time, and when officers raided his house, they found two illegal immigrants being housed inside.
According to court documents, 37-year-old Navarrette was a member of the drug trafficking organization and drove load vehicles, laundered money, and transported illegal immigrants from Arizona to California, among many other duties.
Navarrette, an 11-year veteran of the force, has admitted to the crimes, the Sheriff says.
"We did not know for sure until today, when he admitted passing information on to the drug traffickers... whether you're investigating a crooked cop or not, you have to be concerned about leaks," he says.
Silvia Rios-Najera allegedly conspired with Navarrette to launder drug proceeds through several front companies.
Several law enforcement agencies assisted in serving 16 search warrants at homes and businesses across the valley Tuesday. Authorities seized 10 pounds of heroin, along with weapons and stolen property.
Seven additional sheriff's employees are still being investigated for similar crimes.
The charges
Hernandez was charged with illegal control of enterprise, three counts of using electronic communication during a drug transaction, managing/financing a criminal syndicate, two counts of money laundering, conspiracy to sell or transport narcotic drugs, and three counts of possession of narcotic drugs for transportation or sale. She is being held on a $2 million cash bond.
Navarrette was charged with 19 counts, including assisting in a criminal syndicate, smuggling humans, and money laundering. He is being held on $1 million cash bond.
Rios-Najera was charged with illegal control of enterprise, money laundering, using electronic communication during a drug transaction, and participating in a criminal syndicate. She is being held on $36,000 cash bond.

I couldn't agree with this more. WoW is such a rich world, you can burn endless amounts of time pursuing all manner of diversions. I for one will rejoice and yell from the rooftops when I ding 70 and buy my 'Poverty Pigeon'. Mostly greens and blues... do I care? Not one bit. I'm loving the experience and that's good enough for me. If I one day decide to step it up, to raiding or arena, then fine, but for now, I'm good thanks.

it seems the Muscle Car Era has come back, but with a serious price tag.
-Just as well: Society doesn't need this kind of hardware in the hands of every 19 year old that can scrape together some car payments.
Keeping the price of admission high will probably save some lives.
I see we are still working on the Slideshow…
@Rober — Muscle has always had a serious price tag on the showroom floor. I remember being a junior high school student walking past the Dodge dealership in 1970 and seeing the most tricked-out Hemi Roadrunner ever produced. It was, at $7,000, the most expensive car on the lot. In addition, the muscle market has changed. We want our heated steering wheels and power everything. All that adds weight and cost. There are no stripped-down, quarter mile ready cars being sold at dealerships today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you cant' even order one. That is the biggest change from the classic muscle days.
Ugh! they're cheese-balls cars, Always have been, always will be and don't forget your mustache.
Nuremberg in 7:41…that some fast cheese regardless….
That's too bad that your 18 year old son still has to sit in a booster seat.
Just wait till he blows by your six figure car and the blond sitting to your side asks why he just smoked you?
" .. A "launch control" system keeps the wheels for spinning while allowing .."
You must mean "from spinning," correct? For spinning is for dubs.
You're welcome.
Puuleze! do you thing the blond is interested in speed? She's only interested in your bank account.

Trayvon Martin's family attended a town hall meeting Tuesday night at the Calvary Temple of Praise Church in Sanford that was organized by the NAACP's Seminole County Chapter.
"Although I said I would never come back here again because my son was shot and killed here, God brought me right back here," said Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother.
There, NAACP's Chapter President Turner Clayton reacted to George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie's arrest Tuesday afternoon. "I felt that was coming knowing the judge was highly upset with the issues in the courtroom,'" said Clayton. "It made me feel like I knew he was going to take a stance on it."
More than a hundred Sanford citizens turned out to the meeting.
Sanford's City Manager, Norton Bonaparte and Interim Police Chief Richard Myers also attended and briefly addressed the crowd.

Earlier this week I posted about how Warner Bros. declared the script that Joss Whedon gave them for Wonder Woman was dead. Look we know the problems that WB has getting Wonder Woman into anything except animated TV. I've written about them over and over again. Despite the fan videos. Despite seeing how awesome she is in games. Despite writers like Whedon taking a shot.
But an artist on Deviant Art JoshMWC has been posting over the last 4 years concepts for a Wonder Woman movie. The pieces are mostly moments but you can put them in order to the rough out of a movie. Let's take a look at what he's come up with.
It starts with the classic Marston origin of Wonder Woman, a much prayed for child made of clay by her mother.
Diana finds the plane of Steve Trevor on the Island.
A contest to see who leaves the island.
Once off the island Diana makes her public debut.
Diana meeting up with Trevor.
When Steve Trevor is pursued by agents she chases them down.
Diana arrives at terrorist attack
bullets and bracelets
Protecting the president from an assassination attempt.
The artist imagines the movie concluding with a fight between Diana and Ares on Themyscira including this moment where she gets help from some fighter planes.
To me that looks like a powerful cinematic moment.
Take a look at his gallery and see the rest of the concepts and plot ideas. What do you think? Will Wonder Woman work better set against a modern backdrop or do you think she'll work better as a period piece as in this fan film?

Even the addicts say the worst experiences they've ever had with drugs have been the ones they've had with K2.
"Jenny S." asked that her last name not be used for this story. She's a recovering addict. She's used K2. "I know of friends that are addicted to it," she said. "And they can't stop even though they want to -- and they didn't even think they were going to get addicted to it and now they are."
A mother of a K2 addict, who also didn't want her name used, told a 7News digital journalist what her son told her about the synthetic marijuana, sold as "potpourri" or "incense." She said her son told her, "...it makes you feel like you're really panicky and like you're going to die and which I couldn't understand. I said, 'Then why would you do it?' He said, 'Because you can't stop once you start' as he was crying looking at me saying, 'I can't stop this K2.'"
Back in February 2012, emergency medical professionals came to Ohio Valley Medical Center to learn how to treat a synthetic drug addict in a life-threatening emergency. Addicts say, after the emergency -- after accepting responsibility -- lasting recovery requires support from others.
Andrew Vdovjak used to have a cocaine addiction. Over some coffee at The Unity Center, he explained his experience going to chapter meetings of Narcotics Anonymous has helped him stay clean. His words tumble out.
"When I started coming to the meetings and heard -- started getting involved with the kinship of NA -- started hearing people around me talk of the recovering addicts. And I realized that some of their stuff was similar to what, maybe not exactly the same, but similar to the same situations and same places that I had gone through," Andrew said.
"Jenny S." lost everything she had due to her drug addiction. Her car, her house, her possessions. In her case, help from family got her clean.
"This disease is a family disease, and it affects everyone. Manipulation -- the lying, the thieving -- the everything that you do to get your drug, it really can mess with your family," she said. "And I know I hurt my family in a big way."
Both Andrew and Jenny view their family support and forgiveness as key to breaking the chains of addiction, and staying clean.

... *shudder*
I'm surprised they'd make a companion out of that, given the sheer amount of squicky complaints about the original model (at least I'm assuming I'm thinking of the right model, given the name).
I really hope I don't end up seeing tiny pitiful bears with spider eggs growing on their asses all over Org... but I have a feeling that I just might. -_-

(This was one of three hospital rebuild programmes mentioned in the speech.)
He also confirmed that total NHS spending is being protected from the cuts and will increase be more than inflation every year in this parliament.

IndiGo to represent Hawker Beechcraft
Hawker Beechcraft has appointed India's InterGlobe Enterprises, owner of low-cost carrier IndiGo, to be its sales and servicing agent in India effective July 1.
On Tuesday Rahul Bhatia, InterGlobe's group managing director, and Brad Hatt, Hawker Beechcraft president of commercial aircraft, signed a sales representative agreement and an authorized service center agreement at the show, in the presence of Praful Patel, India's minister of aviation, who has been a key proponent of the deal.
Gurgaon-based InterGlobe will build a new service facility in Delhi within the next 12 months and will acquire a Hawker 4000, which will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2008, both for its own use and for use as a demonstrator. In the interim it will have established operations in an existing hangar within the next 30 days, said InterGlobe general counsel Aditya Ghosh.
Minister Patel said that the government was "coming up with a policy for 400 private airports across the country to allow growth and bring them into the mainstream of aviation." In respect of business jet sales in India, the minister confirmed that there was no input tax on such aircraft unless they were for "captive personal use."

We bring you Patch Picks a little early this week, just in time to cover the best ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Whether it's with parades, drinking or a trip to our resident Irish gift shop, there's no excuse to not be sporting that green proudly tomorrow.
Here are our picks, but be sure to leave a comment and let us know what yours are.
Llywelyn's will be celebrating all day, with live Irish music by John Bartley from noon to 4 p.m., then Irish and Celtic folk music from the group Rusty Nail from 5 - 8 p.m. and 9 to close. No cover all night, and at some point the winner of the St. Patrick's Day Giveaway will be announced.
- St. Patrick's Day Parade
Hosted by , the parade starts at 11 a.m. at the church and proceeds up Argonne. Pick a spot along the route to watch the floats, marchers and dancers go by. If you're lucky, you may even catch a treat or two.
Our very own slice of Ireland will have a selection of festive gifts and clothing for the special day, so stop by before the parade to get decked out in authentic Irish finery. There's a rumor that the Kind of Leprechauns will be making an appearance as well, to tell stories, take photos with kids and share treats from his pot of gold.
The Highlands' St. Patrick's Day party will feature a performance by Dr. O'Vegas (known on any other night as Dr. Zhivegas), plenty of drink specials and the regular ladies' night special of free wells and drafts for females after 8 p.m.
- will be celebrating all day long. Come by in the morning for a hearty "Kegs and Eggs" breakfast of green eggs and ham, which goes wonderfully with the Bloody Mary special. Then, come back later for live music by Extremely Pointless.

Chapter 8
Homecoming hadn't turned out to be the night I had expected it to be, but in the end I didn't let Kate ruin my night. I didn't spend the rest of the night in the corner of the gym, but instead in the middle of the dance floor with Mark and Holly. I didn't see much of Brandon the rest of the night and during the limo ride home he didn't say much. I wasn't sure what to make of his statement to me about how he had wanted to go with Homecoming with me. The truth was that I started to feel like that whole conversation had been a dream. That was until he picked me up for school the next Monday morning.
That morning I opened my front door and took a deep breath. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face Brandon again, but it didn't matter now if I was ready or not. I got into his truck and didn't say a word. The ride to school was awkward and Brandon's sister made a few attempts to start a conversation, which in the end lead nowhere. His truck came to a screeching hauled in the school parking lot and his sister got out of the truck. I opened the door to follow her, but Brandon grabbed my hand before I could get out.
"Melissa, we need to talk." He looked at me and I was forced to face him.
"We have nothing to talk about." I told him coldly and ripped my hand out of his grip. That's when I decided to end it. I had chased Brandon for too long, and he's ignored me and hurt me for too long.
"You know what there is something we need to talk about. You said you wanted to go to Homecoming with me, but instead you went with Kate. Then you almost kiss me at Homecoming and then ignore me the rest of the night. I don't know what your game is, but I don't want to play it." I vented all my anger and he actually looked shocked. What did he think he could ignore me and then later all would be forgiven?
"Oh, by the way I think it would be better if I took the bus until my car is fixed." I slammed the truck door. Then I looked him right in the face and saw the hurt look on it and my heart did something I didn't think it could do anymore, it shattered into even more pieces.
"He is miserable." A voice came up from behind me. I turned to see Brandon's sister.
"Should I care?" I questioned trying to act like I didn't care. It had been two days since I had gone off on Brandon and I had tried my hardest since then to avoid him. I thought if I didn't see him, then I would forget what he meant to me. But it hasn't worked so far.
"He really cares about you." She said as she followed me down the hallway.
"He sure has a funny way of showing it. Goes to Homecoming with Kate and then ditches me the rest of the night." I frowned.
"It was an awful thing to do, I agree. I know for a fact that he doesn't like Kate. He just feels sorry for her." She told me, but I didn't know how anyone could feel sorry for Kate.
"Just talk to him please?" She looked up at me and nodded her head towards him.
"Fine," I sighed and walked up to Brandon who was leaning against his locker.
"Brandon, can we talk?" I asked him.
"Oh, you want to talk now?" He said in a harass tone and I took a step back.
"Or do you want to yell at me some more?" He asked and I was beginning to think I had hurt him more than I thought.
"Brandon…" I started, but then trailed off. What do I tell him? I that I've loved him since… well forever? That I was hurt that he took Kate to Homecoming instead of me? That I wish he would just kiss me?
"I liked you Melissa. I felt something that day I crashed into your car, but maybe I was wrong." He told me and walked away. Then I saw him walk over to Kate and put his arm over her shoulder. Kate looked back at me and smiled.
"I'm….sorry.." I told Holly as I grabbed another tissue out of her hands.
"Don't be sorry. Brandon should be sorry." She told me and gave me a pat on the back. I had royally screwed things up. I had learned today that Brandon had actually liked me and I messed that up. Now Brandon had gone to Kate and probably forgotten my name by now.
"I shouldn't be crying this much over a guy." I sobbed into a tissue, I felt so stupid for letting a guy effect me this much.
"You always cry a lot over your first love, especially if he looks like Brandon Richie." She told me and I started to sob even harder. Brandon really was my first love.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to make things worse." She frowned and grabbed more tissues from the night stand.
"I don't know how things could possibly get worse." I stated taking the new box of tissues from her hands.
"Do you have eggs?" She suddenly asked taking me by surprise.
"What?" I looked up at her. What does she want eggs for? I'm not in the mood for an omelet.
"Do you have eggs?" She repeated.
"I heard you the first time, but I thought you were kidding. What do you need eggs for?" I questioned looking at her like she was crazy.
"To egg Brandon's house." She stated. Okay, maybe she is crazy.
"Now I know you are kidding." I laughed at her.
"No, it will make you feel better." She said in a serious tone that shut me up.
"No, yes, but it's wrong." I mumbled.
"Who cares?" She pulled me off my bed.
"How do you know no one is home?" I whispered to Holly as we quietly walked up to Brandon's mansion size house. We parked Holly's car about a block away and I still couldn't believe I might actually egg Brandon's house. For some reason I actually liked the idea.
"It's eight o'clock and all the lights are out. They must be gone." She pointed to the dark house.
"Here you can throw the first egg." She put an egg in my hand. I just looked down at it.
"You are crazy." I told her still staring at the egg in my hand.
"It feels good." She took the egg back and threw it at Brandon's house. I watch it splatter against the window.
"Okay, maybe one." I gave in and took an egg. I took a deep breath and threw it at the house.
"You're right it does feel good." I smiled as I watched the egg drip down the front of the house. Okay, I know this is wrong, but it is a good way of venting.
"That's for all the times you ignored me!" I hurled another egg at the house yelling all the things I would like to tell Brandon.
"That's going taking Kate to Homecoming instead of me!" Another egg came in contact with Brandon's house.
"That's for crashing into my car!" One more egg tainted his house.
"I think you are enjoying this too much." Holly said looking concerned at me and I just shrugged. I guess I had more to vent then I knew. Suddenly we heard sirens and I saw red and blue lights bounce off the front of Brandon's house.
"Oh, crap." Holly muttered as she turned to see the cop car pull into Brandon's driveway.
"Melissa?" The front door opened. I stood frozen with my eyes trained on Brandon in the doorway. I guess someone was home.
"This is bad." Holly muttered with her eyes still on the cop car. That was the understatement of the year.

Is it too early to have pregnancy symptoms?
Occording to the pregnancy calendar I would be about 1 week. My breasts are sore, I am tired all the time, and I have increased vaginal discharge.

I hope it's possible to feel sypmtoms early. My last period was November 1st, and since the 15th, I've been nautious everyday, especially mornings, i've also been bloated, peeing a lot, and have had headaches. I just had bloodwork done today, and I am anxiously waiting for the results. Wish me luck, and same to all of you!posted 11/26/2007 by dragonfly0979
I had symptoms as early as a week after conception but knew I was up the duff almost immediately. I was tired, cranky and suddenly had full boobs. Also had morning sickness from this time. I tested about 8 days before my period was due and it came up a big fat postive! I now have a 7 months little rascal and I think Im cooking up another now too. My period is only a day late,,,,but Im just soooooooooooooo tired...posted 11/16/2007 by japanzoe
ok, old question, but I have to add my 2 cents worth. I knew, and I mean I KNEW I was pregnant with this baby just 4 dpo. My boobs were horribly sore, and I was tired and hungry. Not too different from AF symptoms, but exaggerated. I knew I was pregnant and started testing right away. at 10 dpo I got a faint positive, and at 14 dpo got a Big Fat Positive. So, no, it's not too early.posted 09/08/2008 by removed_25-mar-2009 07:38:36 am
I did IUI and I swear w/in 2-3 days I had terrible gas. I told my partner that I had to be pregnant because if not there was something seriously wrong because I should not have so much gas. :)posted 08/27/2008 by MandM Babee
I just found out I was pregnant this morning, and I had increased vafinal discharges in the first few days after conception, which made me believe I was pregnant so early on!posted 09/29/2008 by Marie-Eve_mom
Finally someone else! I didn't have the discharge, but I had nausea, back pain, and was getting 12 to 15 hours of sleep a night. I made the mistake of taking the test too early as well. I even went to the clinic my job offers and of course.... negative. But I knew there was something different about my body. I waited another week and finally got a positive. 6 weeks and excited!!!posted 10/17/2009 by MirandaAnn71387
I knew I was pregnant for all 4 pregnancies I had the DAY I conceived. I felt achy. Sore breasts and lots of saliva were my positive symptoms that happened within a few days of conception. The hardest part was waiting to test so I could get a doctor's appointment. I was able to get positives at 24 days. Hope this helps!posted 05/27/2008 by cherpod
I am now 5 weeks, for the past 4 I have been exhausted, over-emotional, and very thirsty. This is our first, and I don't think it is too early for you to exhibit symptoms. All of the sites I have checked said you can start showing early signs at 1-2 weeks. Don't test too early though. Wait until a few days before your period is supposed to come. You don't want any fake results. Congrats and good luck!posted 01/20/2009 by Navy_Mom2Be
i had syptoms of pregnancy a couple of weeks before i took the test. i had cravings and moodswings and also night nausia, so i do believe that you can have syptoms early in a pregnancy.....remember all pregnancys are differentposted 12/30/2009 by white-feather
looking back at when conception was(im 10 weeks now ) i had symptoms within 5 days. maybe it is jsut your body KNOWS and you are in-tune with your body ;) Congrats if it goes through!!! Oh it could be you are just to exited about ti and your body is anticipating you getting it since its your definite plan right now. Check with a doctor in a few weeks. and just stay hopeful and positive!posted 07/22/2008 by Toasty21

Remember Sin City being originally called Basin City? I want to move to Syn City, originally being called Synchronicity.
I don't know what Emily is complaining about. At least Oracle's system correctly found that 'information' and 'time' are spelled correctly. Apparently every word must be followed by a comma.
Re: Not Too Particular and More
2008-02-11 10:22 • by Benjamin Normoyle (unregistered)
Note: Information is the only word in there that's 'spelled correctly.'
Why was ONLY information marked right? If it's a fatal bug in the checker, I don't think any of the words would have come out right (i.e. a one-off error probably isn't it).
Wasn't "time" spelled correctly as well?
Oh, how badly I want to see the rest of that resume, but I'm 404'd!

It didn't pick up that information and time were spelled correctly, it was confused with the comma (,) after the two words. I thought the same thing then realized the comma broke the complex spell check.

Not when applying for a job. Or most other times, really.
It's strange, if you look at the whole resume, the Cali Pizza Kitchen entry is written in an entirely different tense than the the other entries. "To provide additional support to
the Network Manager", etc., whereas the rest of them read like "designed custom programs for..." It's as if he just copied that job description from the classifieds or something.
I really loved the closing line, however:You have the opportunity to hire me and I need work.
Lucky us!
The COBOL resume is classic. He's completely given up, not just on programming but quite possibly on life in general. I have a vision of a not-quite-middled-aged dude who always looks like he slept in his clothes and forgot to shave, and begins every answer to every question with a groan. Might actually be a good hire if you're an uptight company with a depressing work environment.
I don't blame him - working COBOL will do that to a man (commence flames now).
It sounds more to me like he's saying "I'll do this, but I have an awesome tool that I'm working on, and you can buy it and use it to replace me".
He's using the job-search pipeline to peddle his software. It's sort of like getting an email from a Russian girl that says "Remember me? I remember you and want to get back with you. Here's my website", and the website is a pay-to-watch webcam.
The real problem with checking systems like this is that she'll ignore all of those, rather than correcting the real grammar mistake ("who's" should be "whose").
Ouch! That spell checker output makes my eyes water. A worse UI would be more than a bit difficult to come up with (well, not without actually applying effort...)

The spell checker somehow reminds me of Deal or No Deal. "You get to check 5 words this round."

Obviously somebody threw a comma delimited dictionary into a spell-checker that only used spaces. Suprising to see that never got fixed, though- apparently employees considered behavior like that business as usual.
Was it a mining company?
Or maybe the company car is a Chevy and they wanted to warn applicants that they'd have to drive it.

Lucky us indeed! If this guy's resume is anywhere near the truth he is a manager's dream. Cheap rate, good smarts, willing to learn, and no desire to take his manager's job.
And there are two errors in that spell check too, which were not picked up because they are primarily grammatical. The corrections are in upper case
1. It should be "It would be nice if there WERE a manual process"
2. "A service request is a huge hassle for an employee WHOSE main focus should be billable time"
Re: Not Too Particular and More
2008-02-11 14:34 • by Bob N Freely (unregistered)
Nah. It's just a half-hearted update of an old resume. He tacked on his new experiences without touching any of the existing stuff. So at one time, that was his "current" work experience. Really, the whole doc reeks of disillusionment. This poor guy hitched his wagon to IT in the '70s, and probably spent the last two decades hiding in back offices, tending to decrepit legacy systems, only occasionally bothered by management because "he's the guy that keeps things running." Now he's emerged into the startling reality of a rapidly evolving industry, where his skill-set is no longer of any value. That's gotta suck.
In other words: pay me for my doodles.

It is of course well known that careless talk costs lives, but the full scale of the problem is not always appreciated.
For instance, at the very moment that the Job Applicant said, 'Since creating model is essentially the incipient step under the paradigm of top-down programming, an information architect's work is largely cerebral and removed from the tools with which an application is implemented,' a freak wormhole opened up in the fabric of the space-time continuum and carried his words far far back in time across almost infinite reaches of space to a distant galaxy where strange and warlike beings were poised on the brink of a frightful interstellar battle...

Is it just me, or is this industry getting more and more psychotic by the day? I used to laugh at resumes like this. (I was young, carefree, and cruel.) Then I felt sorry for the poor bastards. (I was young, carefree, but slightly less cruel.)
Now I'm beginning to think that a substantial number of us need psychiatric help, preferably with strong and powerful drugs. (I am no longer young, and somewhat careworn.)
Is there a way of forwarding things like this to your local mental hospital?

You misspelled the following words: big, business, can't, define, follow, if, in, new, own, standards, that's, the, thing, you, and your.
You should try using a spellchecker for you next post.
I know it's funny to laugh at stuff like this - heck, that's why I am (and I'm guessing most of us are) here. But I just can't help but see the desperation in the guys resume.
I feel sorry for him, and I hope he doesn't read The Daily WTF.
I'm such a party pooper.

I'd have the "Information Architect" in for an interview just for the comedy value.

Yup; definitely a case of future shock. When the nifty gizmo you bought last year for seventy dollars (after looking around for a good price) turns up this morning as a promotional gimmick in your cornflakes.
A demographic particularly vulnerable to future shock.
Thirty years from now, this will be you.

Do you mean honesticity?
He might have very well been The Architect, but unfortunately The Matrix had him.
But let's not be too harsh on this fellow. He quite obviously requires some minor tweaking... largely cerebral.
I think he should have been called for a further interview though. It would have been the incipient step to a great fun.

My D&D is a bit rusty... is chaotic neutral the one that instantly evaporates if he is ever caught doing something consistent?
Lucky kobold, then. You should, by definition, randomly decide to show mercy to anyone just a second after exclaiming stuff exactly like this quote. It's in the job description.
The Synchronicity guy is applying for the wrong job... with words as long as that he should be a manager!

Hi There
I am the proud owner of an MY05 EVO8 (07/08 Hatch and 05 WRX before that)
Owning a Subie is all about where you go and who you meet in them. Whenever there is a weekend spare, there is always a Road-Trip or simply a casual drive (with the wife) around the coast on our regular travels.
I am not the most Subaru savy person BUT I do enjoy hearing/reading about them. One thing is for sure: They are different than pretty much anything I have seen. They have a quality about them that is unique. I never knew how the 'feeling' of an AWD would change my driving/life. It has and I would not like to 'go back'.

Ever wanted to invite someone to collaborate on a bundle, but he or she doesn't have an account yet? Now you can send an invitation with just their email. He or she will be automatically added as a collaborator as soon as they join Bundlr.
Here's the new option:
You probably noticed already you can follow users and bundles inside Bundlr. You just need to click on the blue Follow button.
But did you know there are also RSS feeds for users and bundles? You can get notifications of new bundles a user created, or new clips added to a bundle on your feed reader. Just look for the orange RSS icon on your browser, or add ".rss" to a Bundlr user or bundle URL, to get the feed.
Here's how a bundle feed looks like on the Yoleo reader:
You could already pick an individual clip image as the cover of a bundle. Now there's another way.
The edit bundle page now includes a preview of the bundle cover and let's you switch to other possible images, taken from the latest clips inside that bundle.
It's time to make those covers shine :)
We noticed that some events started using Bundlr to collect media around them: photos taken at the event, slides and videos of the talks, comments from Twitter, Facebook… So we decided to launch a special campaign for event organizers.
We're offering a free premium account for events that want to become our partners and use Bundlr to organize and share their content. It's a great way to save a snapshot of an event and keep the conversation going. Know more at: http://bundlr.com/events
Some great events already using Bundlr:
This article belongs to a series of How To blog posts.
Another useful clipping feature is the ability to clip just a specific part of a text, when you don't want to clip the whole article, for example.
You just need to select it (click and drag across it) before or after clicking the Bundlr browser button. The clipping widget will tell you how many characters you've selected, like you can see below:
This way, only the text you selected will appear on your bundle:
This article belongs to a series of How To blog posts.
On certain web pages, you don't want to save just a link and a description. If you're on a blog or a newspaper website, you probably want to save an entire article.
In those situations, you don't need to do anything different. Just click on the Clip button on Bundlr's browser widget and it'll grab the article's text, if it finds one on the page.
Here is an example of the result:

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Unusual signs are raising eyebrows in one Cape Coral neighborhood. They warn of a danger of quicksand.
Residents want to know what's going on with huge piles of sand off Chiquita Boulevard, and turned to WINK News to find answers.
We found out the big piles of sand, and subsequent signs, are because of a canal dredging project. Gator Dredging is using this site to filter the sand from the water, and in the meantime, the message is clear: stay away.
The signs say: "Danger! Quicksand. Do not enter." And they're grabbing the attention of some of the neighbors. "Myself I thought, hey, stay away, it's danger, and I worried about the kids going near them," said Cape Coral resident Sherry Hollenbach.
Dick Lange with Gator Dredging says the signs are here for a reason. "What we want to do is make sure everyone is aware of any kind of dangers," Lange said.
The company will soon start dredging these canals. The pits in the ground will be used as dewatering cells, separating sand from water, before the sand is hauled away.
During that time, the area off SW 31st Terrace, and its uneven ground, will be dangerous, especially to small children. "It is a construction zone," Lange said.
But before you start thinking of the "classic up-to-your-neck" idea of quicksand, this kind isn't quite as treacherous. "It's not like the old TV shows, this sand here, it'd be a little wet, it would be like walking on a balloon," explained Lange. "You're not going to sink into it, but we just don't want the public to play in it."
Gator Dredging has been dredging canals for the city for more than a year, and are expected to be in the neighborhood for about two months.
So far, they haven't had any problems with kids or animals wandering into those big pits, but they have had a problem with some people stealing those quicksand signs.

If Republicans had not blocked further aid to state and local governments and insisted on deep spending cuts, it's almost certain that hundreds of thousands of public workers would still be gainfully employed and helping to fuel a strong recovery thanks to their own personal consumption. Instead, the 647,000 public sector jobs lost since August 2008 continue to provide a drag on the overall economy, in addition of course to creating untold hardship for those who lost their jobs.
(In case you're wondering, that spike in public sector employment was due to the hiring of temporary census workers in 2010.)

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Jimmie Johnson lost his solo grip on first place, and he got a driver mad at him.He and Greg Biffle got into an altercation after Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway as Johnson was getting ready for a television interview. The camera caught Biffle grabbing Johnson by the back of the neck of his firesuit and yelling at him, "You tore my bumper off!"Johnson responded, "I was inside of you."Biffle said, "That was a [expletive] move!"Johnson repeated, "I was inside of you."Biffle said, "You ran into the back of me. You better watch it."Biffle, who finished ninth, lost his rear bumper with 125 laps to go, and he believed it was because of contact from Johnson."It takes a lot to get a rear bumper to come off," Biffle said later, when he had calmed down. "He claims he was inside of me. It sure felt like he hit me from behind and rubbed it across. ...If it wouldn't have happened, we had a top-5 car here today — finally, to get in the top five at Martinsville."Johnson appeared to brush off the incident, and he said he welcomes a tight battle for the championship, now that he is tied for points lead."It's been a great battle with the 20 car," Johnson said. "And the 24 has clearly shown he wants to be a part of this deal, as well. And there's some other guys back there who are kind of close. Going to be a dogfight at the end — the way I would want to go racing for a championship, and I know, exactly what the fans want to see."It was Johnson's lowest finish in his last four races at Martinsville. He had won from the pole in his last two starts at the track.Harvick's regretKevin Harvick expressed regret for saying on Saturday after a crash in the truck race that Ty and Austin Dillon, the grandsons of Richard Childress, are the reason he is leaving Richard Childress Racing."Sometimes you regret the things that you say, for sure," he told Fox Sports 1. "Yesterday was definitely one of them. ... Obviously, when those emotional situations come about, you say things that you really don't want to say."Harvick was spun out by Ty Dillon, and afterward, Harvick called him and brother Austin "rich brats who have had everything fed to them" and that the organization's focus on them is the reason he is joining Stewart-Haas Racing next year.Bowyer disappointedClint Bowyer, who had one of the fastest cars in practice, was disappointed with his third-place finish."We were so good in practice; really, really strong in practice," he said. "I was super-optimistic. But it just wasn't our day."Bowyer led 60 laps and gained two spots in the standings, moving up to sixth."We worked very hard to get where we were," he said. "Was looking forward to this race; thought we had a legitimate shot at it. Just came up short."Pole-sitter seventhDenny Hamlin, who won the pole, said he wound up with a much worse car than he qualified."We realistically really had about a 25th-place car," he said. "Even though the car drove as bad as it did, we still were able to be at least somewhat competitive."The three-time Martinsville winner finished seventh and credited his crew."They kept picking me up spots," he said. "Seventh isn't what we like here at Martinsville, but still, it's a step in the right direction."Vickers's concernBrian Vickers, sitting out the rest of the season because of another blood clot, said the main reason he is not racing is because he can't risk an accident while he is on blood-thinning medicine."It's not the clot, and it's not that I can't race on blood thinners," he said. "It's just that I can't crash. ...The risk is not even so much external injury like a cut or something; it's really more of an internal injury. They wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding."Briefly• Kevin Harvick, who finished sixth, said his car was leaking water and ran 150 laps without water pressure. "That was nerve-wracking," he said. "Luckily it was a small hole."• Chevrolet won its 11th straight manufacturers championship and 37th overall.

Wyre Forest is part of one of the largest ancient lowland coppice oak woodlands in England.
County: Worcestershire
Main habitats: Woodland, Lowland Grassland
Area: 549 ha
Download a leaflet about the reserve.
Although most NNRs are managed by Natural England, 88 are wholly or partly managed by other bodies approved by Council, under Section 35 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
The Wyre Forest NNR is managed by Natural England and the Forestry Commission.
In the past the area was intensively managed to produce charcoal and timber products and Natural England is restoring the coppice system to help diversify the age and species structure of the woodland.
The reserve overlies a plateau containing shales and sandstones of the Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures. The area is heavily faulted, giving rise to steep valleys.
Wyre Forest has elements of both lowland and upland woodland and also contains a number of unimproved grassland meadows. Old orchards and areas of scrub also contribute to the variety of habitats present in the reserve.
The site supports an important invertebrate population that includes England's largest colony of pearl-bordered fritillary butterflies.
Breeding birds in the area include redstart, pied flycatcher, wood warbler, buzzard and raven, while dipper, grey wagtail and kingfisher are found on the larger streams.
Mammals found in the reserve include, fallow, Roe and muntjac deer, polecats, otters and mink. Yellow neck mice, dormice, voles and water shrews are also found. Several bat species live in the area including pipistrelle and Daubenton's.
Wyre Forest is 1 km north west of Bewdley (on the A456) and 7 km west of Kidderminster.
By road the Forest is accessed via the A456 and B4194. There is a car park on the B4194, 0.5 km west of the village of Buttonoak, and another at the Forestry Commission Wyre Forest Discovery Centre at Callow Hill on the A456.
The nearest train station is in Kidderminster. Local bus services between Bewdley and Kidderminster are provided by First Group.
Toilet and refreshment facilities can be found at the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre (near the Discovery Centre) at Callow Hill, and in local villages.
There are a number of waymarked trails in the Forest (some suitable for wheelchair users) as well as regular guided walks. There are also family cycle routes through the reserve.
The Visitor Centre and Discovery Centre also organise craft days, activities for schools and pre-school children, and provide facilities for disabled visitors.

continued Assemblywoman Janet Duprey stressed the importance of raising money and awareness of ALS and related diseases. Roger and Darlene are true inspirations, she said.
She and others also pointed out the high number of cases found in the North Country and the connection to living near the water.
Stephanie Desautels' father Richard was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease four years ago. She helped organize the Plattsburgh Half Marathon, which raises money to help battle Parkinson's and was on hand to help at the Walk of Hope.
Behind Desautels, a field of balloons blew in the wind, each one representing someone who was lost to a neurodegenerative neurological disorder.
"We are walking in memory of a close friend of ours," said Victoria Felio of Peru. "If he were still here he would want us to walk for his uncle, Roger Long."

YANKTON, S.D. (AP) - The Lewis and Clark Visitor Center west of Yankton across the Nebraska border is hosting its annual Bald Eagle Days this weekend.
The Yankton Press and Dakotan reports that nature enthusiasts are invited to view bald eagles perching in nearby trees on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be hands-on activities, kids' activities and programs with live raptors presented by The Raptor Center of Minneapolis.
The free event is sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Park Service. It runs 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days.
The Lewis and Clark Visitor Center is on Nebraska Highway 121 near Gavins Point Dam.
