Craving Carbs: Is It Depression?
Carbohydrate Cravings: The Research
Several research studies have uncovered interesting facts about carb cravers.
- Wurtman found that carb cravers can eat 800 or more calories a day than other people. While many carb cravers do become overweight or obese, others control their weight by exercising more, eating less at meals, or turning to low-fat carbs such as popcorn.
- Researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that carb cravers who have a mildly depressed mood seem to be self-medicating. They studied women who were overweight and had a history of carb cravings. They gave them a choice between a protein-rich beverage or a carb-rich one. They found that when the women reported being in the worst moods, they picked the carb beverage more often than the protein one. In addition, the carb drink improved their mood better.
- Eating carbohydrates seems to help carb cravers feel better in about 20 minutes, according to Wurtman's research. When you eat carbs, your body makes more serotonin, the feel-good hormone that is boosted when you are on an antidepressant. Eating the carbs, she says, is an attempt to undo the depressed mood.
Carbohydrate Cravings: Normal or Not?
Step back and analyze your cravings a bit, Wurtman suggests.
Do you crave carbs only when you see someone eating something you like? Then, says Wurtman, you may simply be succumbing to the power of suggestion.
Or do you crave carbs when you face an unpleasant task, like balancing the checkbook, and feel better after you've had some? Then you may be "self-medicating." Your serotonin is up, and you are doing what you are supposed to, says Wurtman.
Late-afternoon carb cravings are also quite normal, Wurtman says, and don't necessarily signal depression. "The reason we want to self-medicate with carbs late in the afternoon is not just that life is difficult and filled with frustration, but that it is a normal day-night cycle."
When is a carb craving over the top? If you go to great lengths for a carb-rich food continually, you may want to seek professional help, Wurtman says.
She recalls a woman who was driven to have a brownie from her favorite bakery many times a week. When a ride wasn't available, she would go to great lengths to get it, even walking several blocks in the dark or bad weather.
That kind of persistent craving may be a sign of depression, not just a funky off mood, and perhaps a clue you should seek mental health care, Wurtman and others say. If your mood stays low and the carbs don't seem to be helping, you should also consider checking in with a health care provider.
Carbohydrate Cravings: Living With Them, Taming Them
If you're a carb craver, you can learn to cope with them -- at minimal or no expense to your health or waistline, experts say.
- Time your eating to accommodate your cravings. The carb cravings typically grow stronger as the day goes on, experts agree. So eat healthfully at breakfast and lunch and focus on protein-rich foods. "In the afternoon, by the time the sun and your mood start sinking, have a carb snack -- popcorn or breakfast cereal -- around 4 p.m.," Wurtman says. Then for dinner, pick pasta, rice or waffles, she suggests.
- Choose sensible carbohydrate-rich foods. Carbs don't have to be gooey and chocolatey every time, Wurtman says. She suggests low-fat crackers, for instance, or pretzels. It keeps the fat low but gives you the carbs you want.
- Don't buy into the guilt. "The current low-carb phase is making people feel guilty," Wurtman says. "There is nothing wrong with having a carb for dinner, or for a snack. You have to have it in a very low-fat form."
- Focus on carbs that are "slow foods." Think sip, not gobble, when eating these. One of Tribole's favorites: hot chocolate. "You get carbs in the milk and the sweetened chocolate," she says. "It's hard to guzzle hot chocolate, so you are going to savor it."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans bought new homes last month at the fastest pace in more than two and a half years, adding to other recent evidence that the housing market is steadily recovering.
The Commerce Department says that sales of new homes rose 4.4 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 377,000.
That's the strongest pace since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit boosted sales.
New home sales have increased 15.3 percent in the past year.
Still, the improvement comes from depressed levels. Sales remain below the 700,000 that economists consider healthy.
Rising sales have kept the supply of available homes low, which pushes up prices.
Only 149,000 new homes were for sale at the end of last month, just above a record low of 143,000 in August.
New home sales jumped in November to the highest level in more than two years. The U.S. government is reporting an increase last month rose 4-point-4-percent compared to October. It's the strongest pace of new home sales since April of 20-10
The increase is due to a combination of near-record low mortgage rates, lower unemployment numbers and a drop in foreclosures.
That in turn has lifted home prices.
The housing market is now showing numerous signs of recovery, including better existing home sales and home construction rates.

What Can I Do With a Bag of Corn Flour?
Good Questions
Q: I bought a bag of corn flour as part of a baking experiment and don't know what to do with the leftovers (I didn't care for the results of the recipe I was testing).
Any suggestions? Is it interchangeable with masa harina?
Sent by Beth
Editor: Beth, this is a hard question to answer, because corn flour can mean so many different things. In the UK, it means cornstarch. In the States it could anything from masa to rough-ground cornmeal. If it is pure corn, and not too finely ground, then yes, try using it in tortillas, cornbread and other things that call for cornmeal. You could also cook it straight up in some water and see how it does, polenta-style.
Readers, any advice?

Jalapeno corn bread. You can google search for some great corn bread recipes for use depending on how fine the flour has been ground.
As the editor pointed out - what you can do with corn flour depends on what you have. I love corn meal (polenta, Corn bread and Arepas are all delicious). If it's finely ground hominy I suggest making corn tortillas. Others use masa harina as a flour-dip when battering food; claiming it gives a different taste and holds up better than wheat flour.
Chowhound has a post or two on this topic here.
Thanks for the suggestions! Fwiw, it's the same "corn flour" in the picture - Bob's Red Mill. Texture is very similar to regular AP flour - much finer than corn meal.
Broa aka Portuguese cornbread: yum!
Do NOT use it for tortillas, it is not interchangeable with masa for that purpose and you will be horribly frustrated.
"Good to the grain" http://www.amazon.com/Good-Grain-Baking-Whole-Grain-Flours/dp/1584798300/
has some recipes that call for corn flour, including this one:
which is really great, and would likely work well with other fruit fillings
Tamales have perhaps the highest deliciousness/cost ratio of any food on the planet, excepting, of course, a well-made loaf of bread. I've made them with corn meal before (as opposed to masa harina) and it works quite well.
Alton Brown's "Tamale Never Dies" makes a pretty good tamale.
It's a great thickening agent for chili :)
If it really is corn flour (somewhere between corn starch and corn meal) tortillas should be fine (you don't really NEED masa to do it. You're supposed to, but it'll work fine) or better yet, make corndogs. Tastes best mixed with some corn meal for crunch, but corn flour/ corn meal make the best corn dogs plus, gluten free!
Another vote for Broa - don't expect it to be like American corn bread though, broa is an entirely different animal (dense, not sweet). It's delicious and is great for dipping in soup.
Will that work with corn flour though? all the recipes I'm finding call for corn meal.
Pancakes! It makes awesome pancakes, especially if you put fruit on/in them.
It can also make good biscuits (use half corn flour, half AP flour), but they'll be more dense than fluffy.
I add it to my chili. Thickens it slightly & gives it great flavor.
Ooh, if it's Bob's Red Mill corn flour you've got, you can do all kinds of things with it! Try trading out a portion of the AP flour called for in pretty much anything for a bit of corn flour, seriously. Blueberry muffins, pancakes, egg noodles, gnocchi, pie crust, pizza dough, empanada dough, crackers, savory shortbread, jam thumbprint cookies - all wonderful. In most cases trading out just 1/3 or 1/2 cup is about right. Also, anything that calls for dredging in flour, anything that calls for thickening with flour or cornstarch. Be fearless! I can't think of any other 'unusual' ingredient that I've ever tried that became an instant staple for me like corn flour did.

Ambient music is a musical genre that is generally identifiable as being broadly atmospheric and environmental in nature. Ambient music evolved from early 20th century forms of semi-audible music, from the impressionism of Erik Satie, through "musique concrete" and the minimalism of Terry Riley and Philip Glass, and Brian Eno's deliberate sub-audible approach. Later developments found the dreamy non-linear elements of ambient music applied to some forms of rhythmic music presented in chill-out rooms at raves and other dance events...

Flexible, Stretchable Fire-Ant Rafts
What do Jell-O, toothpaste, and floating fire-ant rafts have in common? All are so-called "viscoelastic" materials, meaning that they can both resist flow under stress, like honey, and they can bounce back to their original shape when stretched or compressed, like rubber bands. As such, the materials neither behave exactly as solids or exactly as fluids, but as something in between.
And fire-ant rafts' unusual properties don't stop there, according to a new study presented in a talk at the upcoming American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa. Researchers found the rafts actively reorganize their structure, a feat that allows them to more effectively cushion themselves against applied forces, such as the battering of raindrops or the surges of waves.
An ant raft stays on top of the water surface even when it is hardly pressed by a branch — showing water repellency and buoyancy. (Credit: Nathon Mlot)

A man was arrested and taken to the hospital to treat injuries sustained by resisting arrest following a rampage north of Reno.
It all started Sunday night around 10 p.m. According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, Stefan Rodrigues got into a fight with his girlfriend at her house on Percheron drive in Red Rock. They say Rodrigues punched her several times and even lit her trash on fire. When neighbors tried to help, he went outside and started damaging their cars on the street. Deputies say the suspect then took off in one of the neighbor's cars.
Around 3 a.m. Monday deputies located Rodrigues in the stolen car. When they tried to arrest him he resisted and got onto the hood of the car. Deputies tazed him, causing him to fall from the vehicle.
He was taken to the hospital to treat his injuries and is now being held at the Washoe County Jail.

White Sox blow 3-0 lead in 7-4 loss to Rangers
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com August 19, 2011 10:44PM
Alexei Ramirez argues with umpire Jeff Nelson after being called out on strikes, earning a quick toss. | Nam Y. Huh~AP
Updated: November 16, 2011 1:25AM
The Sox have a way of putting a bad spin on a two-run inning. They had one against Rangers left-hander Matt Harrison in the first inning on Friday night, but could have — should have — scored more.
Carlos Quentin drove in Juan Pierre with a double and Alexei Ramirez singled in Paul Konerko, then advanced to second on a throw home by center fielder Josh Hamilton. The Sox were sitting pretty, but Alex Rios tapped out to Harrison, and Tyler Flowers struck out to leave runners on second and third.
So it goes for the So-So Sox. Even when they win, they lose or draw.
They had another chance for a big inning in the fifth, which started with a walk to Gordon Beckham and an error on shortstop Elvis Andrus. Brent Lillibridge hit a game-tying sacrifice fly and then Konerko walked. But Quentin flied out to Hamilton at the wall and Ramirez popped out to catcher Yorvit Torrealba. Quentin threw his helmet in the dugout after his at-bat, and hitting coach Greg Walker took off on a brisk walk down the tunnel before the ball landed in Torrealba's mitt.
"It's a fight every night,'' Sox general manager Ken Williams said Friday.
This season has been a constant battle for the Sox, who dropped two games below .500 and five games behind AL Central leading Detroit with their 7-4 loss to the Texas Rangers before an Elvis Night crowd of 28,308 at U.S. Celullar Field. Whether they're playing a first-place club like the Rangers — who checked into their Chicago hotel at 6:45 a.m. Friday after playing in Anaheim the night before — or the last-place Kansas City Royals, the Sox have to scrap and claw for every run they get.
"No matter who you're playing, it's a fight,'' said Williams, who put together a team with a $126 million payroll that figured to be comfortably above the .500 mark by late August. "Am I surprised that we are where we are? Yes. I anticipated us being quite a bit better than we are. If we're playing at our level we're capable of, to a man, yeah, we have a better record and we're not having this discussion. The fact that are we still sitting here as one of the teams that has a chance to go to the playoffs, I guess you can feel good about that. I'm going choose to feel good about that, being .500 but still having a chance to go to the playoffs.
"If you get in, particularly the way we pitch and play defense, you've got a chance to win.''
Getting in looks like a bigger challenge with each defeat. Starter Jake Peavy was spotted a 3-0 lead, then allowed two home runs to Mitch Moreland and a 429-foot bomb to Hamilton.
These are not your Go-Go Sox of yesteryear. These are your So-So Sox. After Texas assumed control by taking a 7-4 lead in the sixth, the Rangers bullpen held the Sox hitless the rest of the way.
"Just frustrating,'' Peavy said, "especially when the boys score four runs early like that.
"I just couldn't anybody out with two outs. I had good stuff, just didn't make good pitches. It's as disappointing as disappointing gets.''
The Sox frustration came to a head when Ramirez was called out on strikes, then quickly ejected by plate umpire Jeff Nelson for arguing.
Former Cardinal Josh Kinney, brought up from AAA Charlotte with Philip Humber placed on the disabled list, struck out six in three scoreless innings of relief of Peavy (5-6), whose ERA climbed to 5.06.
"You make a mistake against that lineup, you are going to pay the price,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said. "It seems like [Peavy] didn't have too much in the tank for his last two innings.''
Guillen said he didn't consider pulling Peavy sooner because he wanted to keep his bullpen fresh.
"My bullpen is thin,'' he said.

New Newlyn font: Rubrik
New IHOF font: P22 Casual Script
New TypeTogether font: Capitolium News 2
More new fonts: Monroe, Coche, Gay, Horizon, Quartz, Prima
New sublibrary: profonts
Designed by Miles Newlyn
It's nice to come across one like this. In creating Rubrik, Miles Newlyn put approachability first. His models were the friendly, forthright rounded typewriter faces of the industrial revolution, influenced by myriad of square tech sanses. Though the face is decidedly rooted in today's technology (note the spurless a, n, and the unfolding cap M), it effectuates warmth. The pairing of a large x-height with short extenders, alongside closed round forms with their tight apertures, make Rubrik abundantly breathable. There are six weights, extra light to bold. There is no italic.
P22 Casual Script
Designed by Richard Kegler
P22 Casual Script Pro is based on hand-drawn scripts used in mid-20th century advertising. A free-flowing alternative to thicker, casual script styles, this delicate brush style flings open the doors to Memory Lane, evoking vintage product advertisements and packaging lettering. The OpenType Pro font includes over 500 glyphs with OpenType scripting and ligatures for a natural, random effect, small caps, a full Central European character set, swash characters and more.
Capitolium News 2
Designed by Gerard Unger
Designed in 1998 for the Jubilee of the Roman Catholic Church in 2000, Capitolium was originally conceived for the wayfinding and information system in Rome. Soon after the completion of this project, Gerard Unger began contemplating bringing his design to newspapers. But alas, though Capitolium works well on-screen and in most modern production processes, it proved too fragile for newsprint. Solution: Capitolium News. This versatile update maintains tradition with its classic letterforms and gives web designers sturdier shapes, more characters to a line of text, and a bigger x-height. Like most of Unger's type designs, it can be condensed and expanded with aplomb.
And with 250 new glyphs for full Latin A language support, new ligatures, four sets of numerals, arbitrary fractions, superiors/inferiors, and fine-tuned kerning, Capitolium News is one well-oiled, high-performing machine.
Designed by Daniel Hernández
Monroe designer Daniel Hernández has discovered just how much fun a monolinear display type can be. The interplay between its cheery curves and straight straights is full-on vivacious. Using the face wisely is an exercise in restraint; with so many swash alternates and ligatures and a set of intelligently selected contextual alternates, Monroe makes it easy to set some scintillating lines fast — or stay and play. The face comes in two weights, light and bold.
Designed by Alejandro Paul, Angel Koziupa
Coche is a rare find. Drawn to fill the void between calligraphic and fast Roman branding types, the rounded letterforms slide up and down the spectrum from connected script to slanted Roman. The face makes its mark boldly with scores of alternate characters and small caps.
Filmotype Gay
Designed by Mark Simonson
Mark Simonson revives a Filmotype face, Gay, whose beauty is elegant and frank. Filmotype Gay maintains the hand-lettered warmth of its recent ancestor, Filmotype Ginger, with a lighter, crisper weight. It also offers all the set-from-film features we'd expect: OpenType ordinals, fractions, and alternates.
Filmotype Horizon
Designed by Neil Summerour
Neil Summerour's work on Filmotype Horizon yields one of the first casual brush script faces produced for film typesetting. The gentle tip of its axis and its careful fitting make it especially suited to compact setting. This one comes with alternates aplenty and sophisticated OpenType substitution.
Filmotype Quartz
Designed by Stuart Sandler
Stuart Sandler's faithful reproduction of Filmotype Quartz gets the details right. The 60s inline showcard sans plays off of a modernist structure, carefully minding the baseline bounce and varying the line quality and terminal angle.
Filmotype Prima
Designed by Patrick Griffin
Patrick Griffin's revision of Filmotype Prima, a freestyle lettering face, shows off showcard style like it's cruising down Main Street in a Cadillac in 1955. The salient Prima speaks two languages at once; the stories it tells are as aw-shucks-matter-of-fact as they are dazzling.
profonts is a digital type foundry based in Norderstedt, near Hamburg, Germany. This sub-label of URW++ releases high-quality, feature-rich OpenType Pro fonts. The collection showcases script and display faces, and offers an appealing selection of beautifully reworked, enhanced, digitally remastered revivals. profonts fonts cover the full Latin character set, including Central Europe, the Baltic Rim, and Turkey. Scrips such as Laramie, Sonora, and Valentine come with over 1000 glyphs per font and use OpenType features for an authentic, joined-up look. Some profonts typefaces such as Euroscript and EuroSans include Greek and/or Cyrillic.

Ah, the purse. They're great, aren't they? They hold what you need and some of what you don't.
At any given time, mine holds an electronics store worth of stuff -- iPod, phone, camera, chargers, you name it. I once found eight lip glosses in there.
It's so easy to junk up your bag -- and what do you do when it fills up? Get a bigger bag! Before you know it, you're hauling around half your house (plus eight lip glosses).
Organizer Jill Pollack Lewis has some great tips for decluttering your purse in Day 2 of Project 10 Days to Clutter Free. You know, so you can actually find your keys without dumping the whole thing on the ground.
Step 1: Save only the bare essentials

Step 2: Rethink your purse's purpose

Step 3: Get organized tips

thanks =)
That would be so much more helpful if my purse wasn't also my diaper bag. In a month I'll have 3 kids under 4 and it's just not practical to think that I can carry at least one kid, and hold two other kid's hands, and take a purse and diaper bag in somewhere.
Bring on the giant mom bag! lol. At least for another couple of years.
Well, considering my purse has been a diaper bag for the past 2 years there's really nothing I can take out of it. But even before my kids I always had a small purse with just my wallet, keys and phone, never been one to carry around a bunch of crap with me.

Earlier tonight we mentioned a report from Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com that indicated Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is pushing for general manager Jeff Ireland to draft Texas A&M quarterback.
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald is now reporting that "a very, very, very highly placed source within the Dolphins organization" emailed him and stated that Florio's report is in fact untrue.
With two conflicting reports, all we can do is believe whoever we want at this point.
At the end of the day I think Ross would like to draft Tannehill, but I believe he also knows that acquiring him doesn't mean his team will sell more tickets or start winning more games in 2012. It could end up making things worse if Tannehill ends up being a bust.
Marino endorses drafting Tannehill
Much like the team's owner, Dolphins legend Dan Marino would fully support Miami's drafting of Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

The reactor is attached to an old heart rate monitor strap and it's powered by a 3 volt battery pack that just slips in my jeans pocket. It's light weight and is comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. In the photos below you can see how bright it is- it easily shines through my t-shirt under normal office lighting conditions and is very bright at night.
Follow along and see how it's made.....
Update: see page six for the new style reactor!
Another update! Many people have asked for a kit and a fellow RPF board member has produced a fantastic kit and said I could post a link. This is a very nice kit for anyone wanting to build a wearable arc reactor-
To bad you could make so good money cause you have one of the best ones i've seen that can be worn
honus son leds azules o blancos
okey gracias honus entonces son mejores azules que blancos
If you have any other questions just let me know!
One thing is that it would be great if you could include a wiring diagram because my circuitry is rusty. Secondly I am using tin snips to cut out the spider legs and it's proving to be quite a challenge because of the minuteness of the leg. Are there any tips you have? Thanks
You can enter in any value you like for battery power and LEDs and it'll give you a simple wiring diagram.
Tin snips are hard to use because the metal tends to curl at the edges. For cleaner cuts use a jeweler's saw or nibbler tool.
Please be patient- I'll try to answer questions as quickly as I can. Right now I'm dealing with flood damage from a brutal storm here in Boulder County so I may not be able to answer questions right away.
A solder pad is just the copper part that the LED is soldered to.

Classic: The "Golden Triangle" of West Greenland
The Classic Golden Triangle of Greenland. One of our bestsellers over years and a very classic tour. A wonderful trip to the triangle of three towns and also coastal ship is included. You expierence all the "must see" of Greenland and the "wow-factor" is high.
You cross the Arctic Circle, get to see musk oxen and the ice cap in Kangerlussuaq, Sisimiut's beautiful houses that are as small color spots in the rocky landscape and the spectacular ice fjord in Ilulissat with myriads of ice from small cubes to giants in various colors depending on the sun's reflections.
The interurban transport takes place with both aircraft and coastal ship also giving you a unique chance to get an impression of the amazing size of the world's largest island, which corresponds to the distance from Scotland to the Sahara!
The trip takes place from June to August, which is summer at its best in Greenland with midnight sun and contrasting impressions. Green mountains and white icebergs. Strong sunlight and misty fog. Gentle flower valleys and cool glaciers. Shears that cut through the vast desolate areas. Temperatures are mild and Greenland's national flower Niviarsiaq, bluebells and mountain-batten are busy and beautifully decorate the mountains.
Flexibility and comfort
D. R. Collins
Participant at Golden Triangle, 2013
This tour gave us a degree of independence and flexibility, whilst taking care of our overall travel needs. We didn't feel as though we were part of a big tour. We are not attracted to tours that feel highly organised so this was ideal for us.
Travel itinerary
- 2 nights in Kangerlussuaq by the Inland Ice Cap
- 2 nights in Sisimiut at the coast
- 5 nights in Ilulissat by UNESCO Ilulissat Icefiord
- 1 night at coastal ship

Itinerary - day for day
DAY 1: Flight Copenhagen - Kangerlussuaq and welcome meeting
Flight from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq. During the 4,5 hours flight you can enjoy a light meal and a movie. You have no doubt when you catch the first glimpse of Greenland: Nunataks that pop up amid the huge expanse of ice. The fresh air and the sight of the mountains that surround the airport in Kangerlussuaq is the first things that meet you when you step off the plane.
A guide from our local partner welcomes you at the airport and helps you with the accommodation at Polar Lodge, which is magnificently situated overlooking the steep mountain Køkkenfjeldet and the chain of mountains towards Sisimiut. After you've settled in your room, there is an information meeting where the guide tells of Kangerlussuaq and the many different excursions.
The afternoon is at your own disposal. An idea might be to go on a trip to the ice cap, which is 30 kilometers from the airport area. The 4 wheel vehicles runs safely on the gravel road and there are fine views of the exciting landscape. If we are lucky we will see musk oxen, reindeer and maybe a lone mountain rabbit. The encounter with the ice cap is an unforgettable experience. The forces of nature are suddenly very visible and you can feel and almost taste the cold from the ice. En route we pass lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, and delicate clusters of cotton grass and large flowered willow herb.

OK. I used what I had on hand and it was still good. I freeze ginger root and then grate it off the frozen chunk as needed, so that was my ginger source. I had frozen broccoli on hand, so I used that. I had just plain rice cooking wine, so I used that and added about a tsp of sugar. And I didn't have any crushed pepper, so I left that out. I also accidentally overcooked the broccoli. Still, it was a yummy side dish and I'll do it again and not shell out for broccolini or fancy rice wine.
Ginger-Garlic Broccolini
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Broccolini is a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale; sometimes it's labeled "baby broccoli." It has a subtle peppery bite and crunchy texture.

Anonymous said: what are some popular games in Australia?

waiting for the "steal her look" trend to die down
(via goofypls)
- The boy who takes your virginity is only going to love you long enough for you to stay in his bed.
- Your first job is never the best job. But you'll meet some of your best friends there.
- Sometimes things don't go the way you expect them to at all.
- People are usually never who they say they are.
- If you love someone, you need to tell them. Nobody is good at the guessing game.
- If your best friends don't like the boy you're involving yourself with, chances are he's bad news.
- If a boy starts an invitation with, "Are you home alone"/"I'll be home alone", say no. You are a human being, not a toy to be played with.
- If some boy invites you to "the backseat of his truck", he's a piece of shit. Tell him to fuck himself.
- "Sorry" doesn't always fix what you messed up.
- Stop wasting time wishing you could take back what you already did.
- You are at fault sometimes.
- There's going to be a boy that you let get away. Yes, you loved him. It's for the best, though.
- Toxic people hardly ever start off toxic.
- It's always nice to make new friends, but never forget who your real friends are.
- Never lose the friends that would answer their phone at 3am if you called
- Never lose sight of who you are because of a boy.

Words matter. Truth counts. Or do they in the postmodern age in which we live?
Recently The Washington Post reported a story about Obama advisor, Zeke Emmanuel, brother of Rahm Emmanuel. Dr. Emmanuel, a bioethicist and devoted "foodie", is an atheist who catches a lot of grief from his friends because of his devotion to the dietary laws set forth in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Emannuel responds that Judaism and atheism are completely compatible.
Really? I thought Judaism taught that Yaweh, the God of Israel, was central to the Jewish religion and that...

Playmaker Darren Collison agrees to join Clippers
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E Sports) – The Los Angeles Clippers and free-agent playmaker Darren Collison have verbally agreed on a two-year contract that will pay him $1.9 million on the first year and a player option on the final year.
Collison settled for the remainder of the Clippers' mid-level exception because there was no workable sign-and-trade available with his old team, the Dallas Mavericks.
The deal can't be officially signed until Wednesday, when the league lifts its annual moratorium on free-agent signings and trades.
Collison's signing came after the Clippers inked veteran Matt Barnes to a three-year, $11 million deal.
Collison became an unrestricted free agent after the Mavericks declined to offer him a $4.5 million qualifying offer.
Coach Rick Carlisle demoted him to a backup role behind Derek Fisher and Mike James. Last season, he averaged 12 points and 5.1 assists with the Mavericks.
Collison had a promising rookie season in New Orleans in 2009-10, filling in for current Clippers star Chris Paul.

Mediterranean Carrot Salad
When chef Bill Briwa (chef-instructor at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley) prepares this spicy dish, inspired by cookbook author Paula Wolfert, he purées the carrots; the soft mixture absorbs the seasonings well. We've sliced the carrots instead, for a dish with interesting form and textures. Prep and Cook Time: about 20 minutes. Notes: You can find harissa--a hot chile paste--in well-stocked supermarkets.
Yield: Makes 4 servings

- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ground caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon harissa
- Salt
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
- 2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz.)
- 1. Combine carrots, garlic cloves, and about 1/2 cup water in a medium pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until carrots are just tender when pierced, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a glass measure, mix olive oil, vinegar, caraway, and harissa. Mash the cooked garlic cloves with a fork and whisk into dressing. Pour over warm carrots and mix gently to coat. Add salt to taste. Let cool to room temperature.
- 3. Mound carrot mixture onto plates and surround with kalamata olives and feta cheese.
- Wine pairing: Peppery Syrah, with solid dark fruit, herb, and olive flavors. Best in our pairing: Stolpman 2003 (Santa Ynez Valley, CA; $25), Syncline Milbrandt Vineyard 2004 (Columbia Valley, WA; $22), and Qupé 2004 (Central Coast, CA; $16).
- Flavor bridges: Bitterness in wine can balance sweetness in carrots, or, as chef Briwa puts it, "Bitterness can make things taste grown-up." The olive flavors you can find in a Syrah do it for this dish; herbal notes keep step with the caraway. Deep, concentrated fruit flavors in the wine soften the spicy harissa.

text: Hanzhong Xiguan Airport (IATA: HZG, ICAO: ZLHZ) is an airport serving the city of Hanzhong in Shaanxi Province, China. It is located only 2 kilometers from the city center, which severely limits its expansion possibilities. As a result, Hanzhong Chenggu Airport, a military air base located in Chenggu County northeast of the city, is currently being converted to a dual-use military and civil airport, and will replace Xiguan Airport when it is completed.

Nichelle Nichols Joins the Cast of Hayden Black's The Cabonauts on Dailymotion
Los Angeles, Calif. — Nichelle Nichols, known for her role as Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek, has joined the cast of Hayden Black's musical comedy Sci-Fi series "The Cabonauts." The new web-only series is launching in an exclusive partnership with Dailymotion, the world's second largest web video entertainment site. Erin Gray, who starred in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", and her firm Heroes for Hire are overseeing casting. Interviews with Ms. Nichols on her role in The Cabonauts can be seen here: Nichelle Nichols interview #1
A music comedy Sci-Fi series set in a space cab, "The Cabonauts" will follow characters as they take various passengers to their intergalactic destinations.
Created by Evil Global Corp. and written by its principal Hayden Black, creator and star of the award-winning web comedy series "Goodnight Burbank" and "Abigail's Teen Diary," the series' first season will be filmed in HD and have their first run exclusively on Dailymotion.
"When I read the beautifully written, comical, futuristic script for 'The Cabonauts,' I thought that whoever wrote it was crazy and I couldn't wait to be a part of it," commented Ms. Nichols. "I love the sheer nonsense of it – we're in a seemingly normal situation then suddenly break out in crazy song. It's such fun and so smart, with elements in it that you have not seen before on screen, and I think it can't miss."
"We see The Cabonauts as a breakthrough in Web comedy and we are absolutely thrilled to see Nichelle Nichols not only agree, but join the cast," said Joy Marcus, General Manager of Dailymotion US. "Nichelle's fans will now join our strong base of of comedy, music and sci-fi lovers-to make The Cabonauts a huge success."
"Getting Nichelle on board is the thrill of a lifetime. She's a gorgeously talented, brilliantly gifted actress who elevates the show to a whole new level," said Hayden Black, creator of "The Cabonauts." We think her fans from her Star Trek days and beyond will love her character in The Cabonauts."

Comment: Buy a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite. (Score 3, Informative) 238
Buy a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite.
Buy a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite.
Yep, I am not going to pay for the right to watch ads.
Either it's 'free' and I watch ads, or I pay for it and get no ads.
Also, I get to pick the device.
Why not, they make California legal and California illegal versions of firearms. Most of the firearms I've bought in the last decade are illegal to buy in cali.
Don't waste the money on 5ghz. Unless you live in an apartment with a crowded 2.4ghz spectrum. Just buy the 2.4 wireless N model.
I have 2 of those (1 per floor of my house) and the ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite (in my basement). Everything connected to a cheap switch. Every inch of my house has perfect signal and the product is rock solid. I also have a PicoStation ( http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti... ) on my deck to provide great coverage in my back yard.
Tesla once tried to give free power to the masses.
Educause is pretty good.
I'd love comcast to have the level of service the Indiana DMV provides.
I can do 95% of what I need without going into the office. If I do go in I can schedule a slot and simply walk in, do my business and walk out. I recently bought a new vehicle and was shocked at how fast and pleasant the experience was.
Comcast on the other hand quotes you a 8 hour time frame the installer will arrive, sends a contractor who may or may not be competent enough to even pull cable, and then blames you if anything goes wrong.
Then you run for office.
Recently, in a nearby city an office was injured arresting a criminal. The police response was that the people in that bad area didn't help the officer as he was being beaten, so they started patrolling that area more. The result was jaywalking tickets to people crossing the street from their house to their mailbox, and kids getting tickets for riding their bikes without a headlamp (in the daytime). Basically any tiny infraction to punish the populace.
That was my basic opinion of it as well. I'm not paying money to watch commercials, especially when I can watch amazon or netflix without commercials.
Having interviewed for both Google and Facebook I think this really does come down to skills (knowledge and ability). Being a white male didn't do shit for the fact that I simply just didn't understand linux file systems, networking and software development as well as I thought I did. In fact I didn't get a single question as to my age, race, or sexual preference during those first phone calls where I was ripped to shreds with technical questions. It was quite apparent after 5 minutes of the 2nd interview that I wasn't going to get the job, and I had a LOT to work on in my chosen field.
These are not racially bias questions where you need to be white, unless netmask questions and being asked to write a program are racially bias.
Then again, it is google, they probably know more about me then I know about myself. The interview was probably just to gather metadata to advertise to me better.
What is the percentage of black, women, etc people with the skills and training that google, facebook, etc is looking for?
Are there out of work fully qualified programmers that can't work at facebook because they are black? Maybe the ratio is the way it is simply because there are not enough minorities looking for high end development work (Unlike baseball). That doesn't make it Facebook's fault if it is truly hiring the most qualified workers.
Palo diet bro!!!!!!!
You know, I find the digital screen display radio/gps/etc in my new car way more distracting. Trying to change stations, look at the map for directions etc has almost killed me twice now. They are at least as dangerous as my phone.
You can get them to give you a price? Last car I bought I had trouble with that. I see a car I like, ask the cost. I'm told, "That's not how we work here. Let's talk about what monthly payment you would like."
No thank you, I don't care about my monthly payment. I can do math myself. I want to know how much I'm going to pay for a car. Then I can negotiate on price. Once that is done I'll worry about finding the best deal on a loan.
I told one dealer the price was too high. His response was to offer a 5 year loan to lower my payments....

Frequently Asked Questions
New to Ümloud!? Want to know what's different this year? Here's an overview of what the Ümloud! Band packages and performances are all about!
Make sure you read the Ümloud! Band Terms of Service for the specific rules and regulations on band packages!
Is this a competition?
Ümloud! focuses on performance, not on score.
Your goal is to perform a song for your audience. We give you the platform to create a rock performance on a real stage.
What version of Rock Band will you be using?
Rock Band 3.
What songs will be available for play?
If it's playable inside Rock Band 3, it's playable at Ümloud!.
Harmonix Music Systems, creator of Rock Band 3, will be at Ümloud! with consoles that contain every song playable within the game. Imagine that you purchased every downloadable and Rock Band Network song, then imported songs from Green Day Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, and all the track packs. That's what's available at Ümloud!
Purchase & Registration
Who can be in a band?
Anyone who is at least 18 years of age on or before Thursday, December 6, 2012 and agrees to the Ümloud! Band Terms of Service can be in a band.
Who's a "Band Captain"?
The Band Captain is the individual who purchases the band package. This individual will be our lead contact, and the person who picks the members of the band. While everyone will be on the band's contact list, Ümloud! needs one person who will tell us the band's final decisions about the package details, including but not limited to song choice, band name, and band members.
Note that the Band Captain, if they so choose, does not need to be a member of the band. If the Band Captain is performing and attending, they must add themselves to the band list.
How do I add band members to my band? Can I change this later?
As Band Captain, you will be able to add your band members by using the umloud.org website. You will need an e-mail address for each band member. Follow the instructions in the band management page and your members will receive an e-mail with further instructions.
The Band Captain can change the band roster before the event.
I've been invited to be in a band. What do I need to do?
The Band Captain will need your e-mail address, which they will use to add you to the band. From there, you'll get an e-mail from the Ümloud! Bot with your band invitation and code. Using this information, you will sign into umloud.org with the invite code to confirm your addition into the band.
How do I reserve a song? Can I change it later?
The Band Captain picks the song the band will perform. This song can be changed at any time. However, if you change your song and another band chooses your original selection, you won't be able to switch back.
Songs are first-come, first-serve. No band will be allowed to play a song that has already been played on the main stage. The Headliner Band will have first picks of songs. Ultimate Bands will be able to pick their songs as soon as they reserve a slot.
If I'm in a band, do I need to pay the door charge?
No -- admission to Ümloud! for all band members and is included in the cost of your band package. Your name will be on our VIP list at the door. Have your ID ready.
Can I be in more than one band?
People love performing at Ümloud!, you can be in up to two (2) bands. We want to ensure room for everyone so you can focus on your own performance and enjoy the rest of the show! Please use one Umloud.org account for all your band memberships.
The Performance
What should my band expect? What should we plan for?
This is your night to put on a rock show! A successful performance is one that convinces the audience you're not playing with plastic instruments, but performing a rock concert.
How you do that is up to you! Videos of past performances on YouTube might give you some direction, but make this your own performance! If you want to make costumes, go for it! Dance routine? Go for it!
That said, you do have to tell us what you plan on doing for the show. The rule of thumb is, don't catch the Ümloud! staff off-guard with your actions. The staff at Ümloud! want to help you in any way we can, so !
Will the performance be streamed over the Internet?
Yes! Ümloud! 2012 will be streamed live with a full camera crew! Umloud.org will feature this feed on the website on the night of the event. Tell your out-of-town friends you'll be performing and tell them to come to this website to see it! Can I be in more than one band?
Will there be a dressing room?
There is no dressing room or green room. DNA Lounge does have spacious restrooms, but please be considerate of our other guests.
What time will my band perform?
Bands will play from 8 p.m. until the close of the show after midnight. The night's set list will be determined by the Ümloud! staff, and given to band members prior to the day of the event. We will work with you to nail down an approximate performance time of your choosing! But given the nature of the event, these can only be an approximation.
How will you let us know when it's our turn to go?
Video displays at the venue will show a constantly-updated list of bands set to perform. The performance list will be available online and accessible though any mobile device with a web browser.
We may contact you via text message if you provide your mobile phone number to Ümloud!
Will the keyboard be available to play?
What about the new Pro Guitar?
If you are interested in using Rock Band PRO Guitars, please for arrangements.
Will the drums have the Pro kit add-on?
Yes. The drum kit will have all three cymbals. (Don't worry if you're not used to the new cymbals. You don't need to use them if you're on an easier difficulty level.)
What about harmonies?
Yes. You will be using the house microphones to sing. Each of these microphones will be connected directly to the house sound system and into the console. Even if your song does not have harmony parts, the other two microphones will be live!
Gameplay Settings
Will No-Fail Mode be turned on?
What difficulty Level Should I use?
Pick the level you are comfortable playing in front of a large audience. Remember that this is not a competition and that people will be paying attention to the music, not your monitor.
Can I use my Rock Band 3 avatar in the game?
No. It would be a logistical nightmare to sign everyone's profile in and out. Not to mention that you're actually the rock star on the actual stage! Better to dress as your Rock Band avatar .
Can I use my gamer profile in the game?
No. It would be a logistical nightmare to sign everyone's profile in and out.
Vocal (Leads & Harmonies)
Do I need to memorize the lyrics to the song?
It would really help. You'll be able to see the lyrics on the screen in front of you, but you're a band frontman! You have to command the audience and keep them interested! Better to memorize your song and sing it to them.
What difficulty level should I practice on for vocals?
It doesn't matter. In Rock Band 3's "All Instruments" mode, which we will use, only the instruments are scored, not the vocals.
What kind of microphones will you be using? What's the microphone layout?
You'll be using real microphones, which are property of DNA Lounge.
These will be plugged directly into the house sound system at DNA Lounge. This allows the sound engineer more control, which will make you sound awesome! We then patch the vocals back into the console so that the game registers the input. However, we mute all vocals from the console's sound output, including the recorded vocal.
What about vocal settings?
You can choose whether or not you want the vocal track to play during your performance. The game will be set harmonies (where applicable).
Will the "Pitch Correction" feature be turned on?
No. Your voice is connected directly to the house sound system before it's processed in the console.
Can I play another instrument AND sing?
Yes! If you want to drum and sing, please contact us ahead of time so we can see about getting you a boom mike stand.
Guitars & Bass Guitars
What guitars will we use?
You will be using wireless Rock Band guitars. We'll announce the specific models closer to the event.
Can I bring my own guitar?
No. Switching instruments complicates and delays the band performances. The exception is PRO guitars (see next question).
Can we use the new "Pro" guitars?
Yes. Please select the "Pro Guitar/Bass" for your band membership information, then to follow up.
Can I sing and play guitar for a song?
Yes! Lead or backup, you can sing while playing the guitar. We'll have three microphones on stage. Read the "Vocal" section of this page for more information.
What drum set will be available?
We will announce a specific drum model closer to the event, but it will be a fully-featured kit with cymbals.
I'm not used to working the new "Pro" cymbals. Do I need to use them?
Nope! You can stick to the regular pads when playing your song.
Can I select the "Pro" difficulty levels?
What keyboard will be available?
The standard Rock Band 3 Keyboard. We will have a stand for you to use. You can also use it as a keytar.
Can I select the "Pro" difficulty levels?
Absolutely! Again, pick the level you're comfortable with.
Last Updated: October 01, 2012

Toys "R" Us is the New Roberto Cavalli
Maybe trading Alexander McQueen for Lightning McQueen was all worth it.
Lara Shriftman: Every mother knows that when you have a kid, your own obsessions (mine being shopping) are put by the way side. Now instead of shiny red Louboutins, all I see are shiny red toy cars. Cars, cars, cars! Everything is cars! In fact, if you ask my son what his name is, he exclaims confidently "Car"! His obsession began when I made the mistake (a suggestion of my mother's) of purchasing the Disney Pixar film "Cars." And the rest is history...
It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon, a perfect day for shopping and a late lunch alfresco, and here I find myself at Toys "R" Us. And to tell you the truth, I felt like a kid again, staring down the endless aisles overflowing with toys. I knew he had found the grail when I heard him scream CARS!
$500 later, we walked out with every product licensed by "Cars" the movie. But when we got home, the most incredible thing happened. When I asked him to get in his high chair, there was no fuss because his companion, the star of "Cars," Lightning McQueen, was staring up at him from the place mat. The same thing happened with the Lightning McQueen sippy cups, now he won't even go close to his bottle. And in the morning when he woke up in his "Cars" sheets, he played in his crib alone for an hour. He had never done that before! It was then that I thought to myself maybe trading Alexander McQueen for Lightning McQueen was all worth it.
And it was worth it. For the price of a pair of heels, I got sippy cups, place mats, plates, sheets, toy cars, books; they even had baby wipes and diapers. They had all the essentials, everything I needed and more. I was happy he was happy, and now all I need to know is: can anyone get me a discount at Toys "R" Us??

We get very excited here at Autoblog when someone brings up a rare car from the Japanese domestic market, even if they are distantly related to cars we can buy in the US, like the Toyota Crown Royal Saloon Hybrid our own Sebastian Blanco tested last month. But while we think often about JDM cars, the reality is that the market is far different than what we imagine. It's largely made up of tiny, 660-cc kei cars that are ultra affordable and sip fuel.
A recent story by The Wall Street Journal (it's behind a pay wall) attempts to analyze the JDM, and see what disadvantages the country's obsession with kei cars create for its manufacturers and for foreign brands that are attempting to make headway in the world's third-largest market.
"The Japanese market is Galápagos. You can test things in Japan. But even if it turns out to be an attractive product in Japan, it would be hard to make it a universal and global product," Shigeru Shoji, CEO of Volkswagen Japan told the WSJ. The Galápagos reference is an apt description of the market, as it's isolated and has developed very differently from other markets. Japanese buyers want their kei cars, but not just for emotional reasons.
Fuel is pricey - the WSJ specifically calls out some of the kei cars that can net Toyota Prius levels of fuel economy for half the price - and there are tax benefits to owning a smaller car. Coupled with the devotion towards kei cars, it's these so-called non-tariff barriers that led General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to skip the Tokyo Motor Show for the third time in a row, with the head of GM Japan telling the WSJ it didn't make economic sense considering how few cars GM sells in the market. "Japan is a unique market. For those operating globally, that could present a barrier," GM's managing director, Sumito Ishii, said.
