Natalie Coughlin on Eye Health and Killer Brows!
Written on October 17, 2012 at 11:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
Swimmer and 12-time Olympic medalist, Natalie Coughlin, has been keeping busy since the Summer Olympics in London, but she makes sure to set aside time to take care of herself. As the LensCrafters lifestyle expert, she understands the importance of eye health not only for her sport, but also for her everyday life. After checking out some of the new trends in eyewear at a recent LensCrafter's event, we caught up with Coughlin to get her best health and beauty tips.
How can a healthy lifestyle lead to better vision and stronger eyes?
"Well it's really important to take care of your body and that includes everything from eating well to preventative care for your eyes. I wear my glasses but I also make sure to wear my sunglasses whenever I'm outside, especially being a someone who swims, I am constantly in the glaring sun so it's really important that I take good care of my eyes."
What are some of those healthy habits that you try to incorporate into your everyday life?
"Having a healthy diet is really important so eating things that are high in vitamin A, luteins and omega-3s are really good. Eggs are really good; kale, dark leafy greens, things like that and then fishes that are high in omega-3s are all really good for your eyes. And I just always having my sunglasses on me."
As a swimmer and an athlete, how important is it for you to have strong, clear eyesight?
"It's so important to have really good eyesight. Our races come down to 1/100th of a second so when you're making judgment calls going into the wall or into the finish, or trying to figure out where you are based on the flags, you have to be able to see clearly where you are going."
I know you love to cook. What are some of your favorite healthy meals to make?
"I love to cook! I will cook anything and I am a big believer of cooking in season. I actually have a pretty big garden at my house. I grow a ton of kale and so one of my favorite go-to's is a green smoothie everyday. It's not really cooking but it has kale, romaine, celery, parsley, coconut water, apples, bananas, pear, and lemon juice. It's something that I drink every morning or as a snack and it has super good vitamins, minerals and enzymes. I'll make a big batch and have that waiting for me everyday."
Do you have any makeup tips for readers who wear glasses?
"Whether you're wearing glasses or not wearing glasses, I really believe in having a very well-defined brow. As someone who swims all the time, I don't get to wear any makeup when I am in the pool, so having a well-groomed brow is so important to me. I think it frames your face well, and then for the night, if it's a little dressier like tonight, I play up the lips to complement my glasses."

Olympians' Look-Great Secrets, Continued
Written on July 9, 2012 at 11:58 am , by April Franzino
Our "Play On!" feature in the July/August issue (pg. 44 – 50) is packed with beauty must-haves and tips from Olympians and Olympic hopefuls like Lolo Jones, Kerri Walsh, Natalie Coughlin and Hope Solo. Here's a bonus selection of tricks these super athletes shared with us:
Sarah Groff, 30, a world-class triathlete, Hanover, New Hampshire
Eat clean. "When I'm eating better—less processed, more whole foods—I break out less," says Groff. Her good-skin staples include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, a little soy, fish and animal protein.
Lolo Jones, 30, a world champion hurdler, New Orleans, Louisiana
Play up eyes. On race days, Jones skips the pore-clogging face makeup and focuses on her eyes with soft-colored cream shadows. She says Revlon Illuminance Crème Shadows hold up well in heat. "Even after three hours of non-stop sweating, my eyes still look good."
Natasha Hastings, 26, an Olympic gold medalist and track and field sprinter, Atlanta, Georgia
Be gentle. "Between color and relaxers, my hair is just over-processed," Hastings says. "My stylist put me on to Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment. I put it on before I shampoo and I've seen a drastic change in the health of my hair."
Shalane Flanagan, 31, an Olympic bronze medalist and 10,000-meter runner, Portland, Oregon
Treat your feet. Flanagan gets a pro pedi before every major race. "I've heard from podiatrists that they are really good for runners' feet and can prevent toenail damage," she says. Flanagan likes fun, bright polish shades, but is also known to match her polish to her team uniform.

Halter Chiffon A-Line with Center Front Draping Style BR1016 54 56
Ivory Splendor I bought this dress in Ivory as it was all they had in stock. I bought a size 8, but I might have gotten away with a 6 as it is a little loose in the bust. Overall, I don't think I will have to have any alterations done. I am 5'5" 135 lbs 34C, 30 waist, 36 hips. The dress arrived meticulously packaged. I bought the strapless 1 piece full length slip to wear under it. Looks Amazing!! :) May 18, 2011
Gorgeous! Fast shipping! Ordered dress late night on the 6th and received dress on the 10th. It's very comfortable. I like that it's simple and flowy. I'm 5'1", so I would have to make a few minor alterations to the length. That is the only drawback. I love the dress, and I can't wait to wear it for my wedding! =) March 13, 2011
Perfect for a Beach Wedding I'm having a beach wedding, so I wanted something that didn't have a train, yet was long and flowing. This dress is light so I won't die of heat exhaustion. I'm 5' 8" and 155 lbs, although I'm not overweight. I do have wide hips which I wanted to hide and this dress made my figure look even better. Another concern I had is that I'm a DD so most strapless dresses make my "ladies" look even bigger which I do not want to draw attention to. This dress had enough coverage to make me look elegant. February 18, 2011
Beautiful Dress I bought this dress for my Vegas wedding in June and I can't wait to wear it!! I love this dress! I went by my measurements and it was the perfect fit and very flattering and so comfortable! The only suggestion I have is to wear Spanx or a slip of some sort because your lumps and bumps on your stomach can show, but wearing a Spanx to smooth it out fixes it easily! This dress is so beautiful and has a elegant flow. Love it! :) February 8, 2011

Race #7
Battle Axe
BATTLE AXE may be ready to turn the corner. she was a decent 3rd in his turf sprint debut at Saratoga Aug. 11 and improved to be 2nd routing on turf there Aug. 28. The daughter of top turf sire War Front should be in line for a good trip pressing/stalking the pace. BEBOP RAINDROP made a smart threatening move turning for home and into the lane in her turf route debut at Saratoga but was unable to match strides late with a big winner while gamely persevering to hold 2nd. She can certainly benefit from that run.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
It isn't the fact that premades go against premades that is killing pvp guilds, its the fact that if you queue as a premade, you get like a 25 min wait for each bg. That is what is bullshit... a good pvp guild's premade will still steam roll a "pug" premade any day. The wait is what has gotten so many people upset.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper made the invite very rich looking. The only complaint I would have is they did not give you any extra envelopes so there was NO room for mistakes!"
"What a relief to find the perfect rehearsal dinner invitation for the couple who met on the outside observation deck of the 24 hr grand opening of the new downtown science museum!!"
"This is the prettiest card! I had picked three different looks for our rehearsal dinner but my fiancé was adamant we select this card and I am so glad we did. We upgraded to the pearl shimmer paper and it makes it that much better! The actual card is a great size, not too small but not gigantic either. The print is fantastic - it looks like golf foil. We also upgraded to the gold envelopes and those are as gorgeous as the invitations themselves - definitely worth the splurge. Great product as always."
"You need not worry about your design with WPD. You are well in their hands. They took my design and along with the pearlescent shimmer paper turned it into the perfect invite for my shower. Thank you so much WPD!"
"Appreciated the samples shown-great choices-fast delivery/review and turn around time Only negative-was not able to see color choice on sample everything else a total positive"

I learned an important lesson about community last week while visiting about the farthest place I could go from Northwest Indiana while still being within U.S. borders.
My teacher in this case was a U.S. Air Force colonel, whose words carried a powerful lesson during a visit of my family to the colonel's native "Big Island" of Hawaii.
This Hawaiian colonel had a lot to say about what it took to ascend to his rank while also making a difference in the world around him. His words forced me to look at my own community -- my role in it and how I go about my business.
True difference makers, he said, are not "leaning back and criticizing how things are." Instead, "they work to make things the way they should be."
NASA took note of the colonel's attitude in life. In 1978, he became the first Hawaiian astronaut in the prestigious space program.
The colonel's words reminded me of some of the biggest names from Northwest Indiana, what they have accomplished and how they got there. His NASA connection reminded me of our own local space heroes, people like Crown Point astronaut Jerry Ross, who holds a tie for the most space flights.
The colonel's words really inspired my sons -- one who is a space nut and both of whom attend Jerry Ross Elementary School in Winfield.
People like the colonel -- or our own Jerry Ross -- don't spend their time taking pot shots at others or complaining. They get down to business, tackle ambitious goals and are constantly looking for ways to better society.
Don't get me wrong. I write an opinion column and believe a healthy dose of criticism and sarcasm -- typically directed at government -- can point out flaws, sometimes lead to change and entertain folks along the way.
But the colonel's words were a solid warning not to dig such a trench of negativity that there is no way out. To make a difference, he made it clear "every generation has the obligation to free men's minds for a look at new worlds ... to look out from a higher plateau than the last generation."
And they can only do so by provoking thought and change with actions and direction.
I've taken the colonel's words to heart and believe they will influence my work. It's too bad for all of us the colonel is no longer here.
U.S. Air Force Col. Ellison S. Onizuka, a NASA astronaut, died about six years after he wrote the directives I have quoted in this column.
Those words are now immortalized in a small museum at the Kona International Airport on the Big Island. The museum honors Onizuka's accomplishments before his tragic death in the Jan. 28, 1986, Challenger space shuttle explosion.
I was 10 years old at the time and watched the television footage as the shuttle's seven crew members died trying to "slip the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God" -- as then President Ronald Reagan said of the disaster.
Last week, I stood in that small Kona museum with my own 10-year-old sons, reading Col. Onizuka's powerful words and hoping they continue to shape this and future generations.

"Look at that, what you've turned into. What he's turned you into. Is that what you want? He's trash, Heather, and I'm sure a clever girl like you understands. Look me in the eye when I'm talking to you." He imagines her bent over and cuffed to the cold table - dress up over her hips, panties down around her thighs - and almost smiles. "I want a name and address, and you'll give it to me. Then I can go home and you can go home. I'll make sure you get a lift."
Every word makes her head sink lower, bottom lip trembling as her eyes redden with tears. All she wants is fall to her knees and crawl to him, wrap herself around his leg and pray forgiveness, beg for punishment. But she only straightens stiffly back to attention when he commands her to look at him. At first, his next statements are met with strained silence. Her voice drops to a near whisper when she finally attempts to plead, "I can't afford my medications any other way," and after she looks away again, "…I don't want to go home."
'Weak'. It's true, she knows that, but the word still may as well be acid on her skin. Without a word, she stands on wobbly knees at his command, a shoulder half-shrugged to keep her dress from falling further.Her gaze drops to the floor once the second Draculoid is gone, shoulders sinking as she draws her limbs closer and tighter around herself. Shame colors her voice as she finally admits, "I-I… I need them."
"No," back to his chair, "You're weak. What are you doing with your life …" What is she doing with it. She sells herself, sells her body; she's desperate, he judges, just how he likes it. With a calm and cold voice he tells her to, "Stand up."
"Your actions have consequences, Heather." He sits on the edge of the table, not particularly amused that she wants to bargain. "Just tell me what you do remember." He lets the Draculoid leave the folded blanket next to the glass of water. Rewards. The door closes, her chance to earn it.
Her gaze drops to the floor once the second Draculoid is gone, shoulders sinking as she draws her limbs closer and tighter around herself. Shame colors her voice as she finally admits, "I-I… I need them."
Good evening. Who may you be?
Just a citizen, nothing more. My name is Heather. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss…?

London King and a few of her Push Love babies
(including my twins)When I learned I was pregnant, London King of Push Love was one of the first people I wanted to call. She wasn't my mom or my sister (I called them first, of course), she was a doula -- a highly recommended doula who helped my sister and some of my friends during their pregnancies and births. Still, when we thought about hiring a doula, my very practical (and money conscious) husband wanted to make sure it was necessary and we were armed with questions for London.
Here's what we asked when hiring our doula ...
We interviewed London at our house and the minute she walked in, I knew we were a great match. She had a great personality and made us comfortable. We also knew we wanted a doula who had been there -- a woman who had experienced birth herself. You can decide if this is important to you as well. Because our doula was going to experience one of the most important moments in our lives with us, we wanted to know her take on the birth of her own children. The way London described her own two very different births with such love made us realize how passionate she is about how children are brought into this world -- no matter the route they decide to take.
Some may want a doula who has attended many births, but as with anything, we all have to start somewhere. Plus, doulas starting out often don't charge as much so you may want to be open to a new doula if money doesn't permit a seasoned one. Provided all checks out, of course.
London taught me a lot -- from HypnoBirthing to how to burp my twins after they were born. She also did meditations with me during my pregnancy that were so calming -- she even help reduce the swelling in my ankles from meditation and massage.
You'll want to be open and honest with your doula since she is there to help you. So share your feelings on pain medications and your birth plan ... plan A and B. Maybe even plan C. I ended up having an emergency c-section and everything I learned from my doula helped me stay calm when I was diagnosed with preeclampsia with HELLP syndrome after laboring for four hours.
I ended up becoming very close with my doula and now call her a friend. I also know she has great VBAC energy so if I ever get pregnant again there is no doubt I would want her there with me.
Are you considering hiring a doula?
Image via Michele Zipp
I'll probably hire a doula. I had wanted a midwife who could deliver at home, but Nebraska's laws are archaic. Since home delivery probably isn't an option, I definitely want to have someone who will be my birth advocate, a role my husband and I will likely be too busy to play.
I haven't started interviewing yet, so this list will be very handy. Thanks, Michelle!
I had a doula with my first birth and the crap they have to deal with at the hospital made her just there to help me with my labor and breastfeeding--not as an advocate or anything :( I ended up with an iatrogenic cesarean after a long labor followed by a coached pushing phase, despite trying repeatedly to say I didn't want to push like that (I was squatting at least).
Still, I wish I'd had one for my VBAC. In hindsight, I seriously missed that comfort and connection as I screamed alone in the hospital bed, begging for someone to help, while my frightened husband and daughter stressed because they didn't know what to do to help me, as I waited 8 hours for pain relief from early onset transition. She might not have been able to stop the pain, but she could have helped me deal with it and made me less alone. I don't even remember those hours anymore. It was a blur. I remember everything after the epidural (except when I was asleep, obviously) and my wonderful, easy birth, but it would have been nice if there had been any chance the epidural could have been avoided.
Or maybe someone to recognize that it was not normal for me to smile at my baby and hand her off without any desire of my own to hold her and tell someone what I, myself, would be unable to do for almost a year. The epidural broke our bond and I suffered from PPD for months after because of it. Alone because I was too traumatized to ask for help.
I had a wonderful doula attend my birth. A doula in no way takes away from a husband's role during birth. Their roles are actually very different. I had a great experience. My son was born at a freestanding birth center with a direct entry midwife attending. I think a doula is even MORE important to have in a hospital setting.
I had a doula at the birth of my third child. She was there as my friend not as my doula. I knew her before she became a doula. It was actually kind of fun for her. She was able to just enjoy the birth of my little girl and not be working. She also said that we actually had everything under control and she was impressed with how relaxed we were with all that was going on and with our support network. She came for her lunch break to visit and got to stay for the birth. If I were to have another baby I would probably hire her as my doula. I had talked to her about it when I found out I was pregnant, but money was really tight at the time.
Id love to have a doula for my next birth!
never tought about it. the less people the better.

School pizza deal a win for Manchester official
Ward 8 Alderman Katsiantonis placed the winning bid this year to supply students at city schools with pizza.
The Board of School Committee voted unanimously to award him the contract on Sept. 9. School officials confirmed he was the lowest bid.
Katsiantonis said years ago, before he was an alderman but while he was in the state legislature, he questioned why the school district didn't put its pizza contract out to bid; soon the policy was changed. He estimated the district saves about $70,000 a year because of the change.
Ward 5 school board member and Subcommittee on Finance Chairman Ted Rokas said the fact that Grand Slam Pizza is owned by a city alderman came up briefly, but wasn't dwelled upon by school board members.
Papa Gino's had the contract the last three fiscal years, according to school officials.

Douglas Laboratories Glucoset - 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Douglas Labs Glucoset contain a complementary blend ofthiamin, biotin, chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetylL-cysteine, and standardized extract of Gymnema sylvestre leaf for targeted nutritional support of glucose metabolism. Douglas Labs Glucoset may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support nutritional control of healthy blood sugar metabolism.
Glycation is the non-enzymatic attachment of sugars to major molecules in the body, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Glycation reactions generateadvanced glycation end-products (AGE's) and glycotoxin intermediates. AGE's can cause abnormal and destructive functioning of body proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. AGE associated damage issuspected in the pathogenesis of many diseases and age-related deteriorations.
AGE's can be created endogenously, often as a consequence of excessive blood glucose levels. AGE's are also present in browned foods and cured tobacco. As uncontrolled blood glucose levels give rise to the formation of dangerous AGE's, it is crucial to maintain blood glucose levels within normal, healthy limits to avoid excessive AGE induced damage.
Maintenance of normal blood glucose levels is fundamental to preventing AGE formation. Chromium is an integral component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), a naturally occurring compound of chromium, nicotinic acid, and amino acids that is essential for proper glucose metabolism.
Adequate chromium nutrition is essential for the formation of GTF and subsequent healthy metabolism of normal blood glucose levels. Biotin serves as a cofactor of glucose metabolism and induces glucokinase, an enzyme that encourages cells to retain glucose for energy production rather than release it into the blood stream. Alpha-lipoic acid appears to enhance glucose use by muscles by augmenting muscle protein content. Gymnema sylvestre is an Ayurvedic botanical that may assist in the normal regeneration and repair of healthypancreatic beta cells. Gymnema may also support healthy intestinal glucose absorption.
Select nutrients help to directly arrest glycation reactions. A derivative of thiamin (vitamin B1), called thiamin pyrophosphate, and alpha-lipoic acid have both been shown to prevent in vitro AGE production. Also crucial to controlling AGE formation and subsequent damage is antioxidant protection. Oxidative stress is closely related to AGE production and is a known contributing factor to many of the same health concerns thought to be associated with AGE damage. In vitro studies of N-acetyl-L-cysteine have documented inhibition of glycation induced damage to pancreatic cells. N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a potent antioxidant, serving as an intracellular precursor of glutathione.

Some basic questions......
1. I'm using "Times New Roman" font size 11 for the text of my book..is that large enough to be read easily?
2. If I use a template but shrink my photo inside the box provided….will there be any unsightky edges or discoloration around the photo?
3. Can I use a different color on each side of a page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
New to this too, but I may be able to help some on number two. The one book I did, I had several pics that I reduced smaller than the template box, and there was no clue on the final product. You might also notice that any border will shrink with the picture, and does not stay at the size of the container. I'm not sure I understand #3. Sounds like the answer is yes, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something?
Thankis!!! That's very helpful! I appreciate it.
1. After doing a test book with different fonts and sizes I have plumped to use 11pt for the main body of text. I tried 9pt but found that a bit of a strain for large amounts of text, though I often use it for captions, 13pt was just too big for me. It does depend on how good your vision is though, mine's not great these days.
2. To add to Larry Jordan's response if you look at the bottom right of the BookSmart window you'll see a Preview Book button, that'll show you the pages as they will be printed.
3. If you mean the background that can be set to be the same for all pages or you can set each page individually, so the answer is yes. If you mean text you can choose the colour for individual text containers, not just all the text on a page; or you can set it globally using styles. You can define a style for headers, captions, etc. There is a FAQ on this.

Thanks for your responses…all good to know! As for question #3..I did indeed mean that I want to have some background color black (for example) and on the back side of the page …or next page…I would like to use another color. Sounds like that's a resounding "yes"…so thank you.
Thank you.
P.S…..the global "style setting" does not work. I set it at the beginning of my book creating process and it ALWAYS changes on me. I wated to use Times New Roman throughout the book…yet it keeps switching to Arial text font. Some kind of irritating glitch.
cn i retieve my book after its been deleted?
this was probably worth a new post as it is not related to the questions asked in this one.
But my first question is deleted from where? Deleted from the Blurb bookstore/server? Or deleted from your PC/

The logo and identity for the Festival of Britain, designed by Abram Games in 1951.
I absolutely love this. Since I finished my research and dissertation on Mid-Century Modern design I've kind of moved on and got really interested in British graphic design of the same period and earlier. Theres a definite aesthetic to it, and this really typifies it, totally classic!
This image is from a collection found on the site of things magazine, who have a great range of other projects too. They also happen to have a fantastic blog, and are on tumblr; http://thingsmagazine.tumblr.com/
If you like the look of the Festival of Britain design and want to know more I highly recommend this book - A Symbol for the Festival

Special Features, Public Programs, and Outreach
Through numerous special projects, the Archives fulfills a dual mandate--safeguarding rare and fragile items while making material easily available to the widest possible audience. Preservation and recording projects extend the boundaries of the Archives beyond those of a basic research facility.
Sound Preservation
Although users of the Archives study its resources primarily through tape and disc playback, much of what is heard has been derived from rare cylinder, acetate disc, and shellac disc originals. In the Archives sound studios, staff engineers have pioneered methods of sound preservation and transfer, helping to set standards for the field. With specially designed playback equipment, styluses, and transfer technology, engineers can extract sound from early formats with maximum information content, minimum extraneous noise, and minimal alteration in vocal timbre. Results frequently match the quality of the original studio recording.
Exemplary projects include the transfer of sound from turn-of-the-century wax cylinders of Metropolitan Opera performances and the remastering of Toscanini performances originally recorded on the Selenophone, an experimental sound-on-film format used during the 1930s.
Historical Issues and Reissues
The commercial release of rare materials in the Archives helps to widely disseminate masterworks of musical recording. Projects are conducted in cooperation with record companies--such as RCA Records reissue on CD of all commercial recordings made by Arturo Toscanini--or independently--such as the six-record Mapleson Cylinders album produced and sold by the Archives. The recording industry frequently turns to the Archives for studio-quality master tapes when launching historical reissue projects.
By special arrangement, staff conduct talks for professional associations and student groups with an interest in sound recording preservation and archival issues.
Cooperative Archival Projects
Projects pursued jointly with members of the Associated Audio Archives promote broad and comprehensive access to sound archives nationwide. Efforts include the microfiche indexing of 600,000 78rpm discs held by five of the major American sound archives. Through a New York State cooperative project, the Archives has transferred rare and unique acetate discs with a New York focus to more durable formats, ensuring that this great historical legacy will be passed on to future generations.

The day started early for us with a bus trip to Rio de Janeiro. Along the way we made two stops — the first was to get paperwork that we needed and the second was our lunch. At lunch we had different places to choose to eat but most of us chose to eat at McDonald's.

Students at a Cheatham County school will be given free tuberculosis tests this week, but some parents are fired up, saying that it should have happened already.
Speaking to the Cheatham County School Board on Monday, Jennifer Hamblin said she just received a very scary letter, saying her daughter may have been exposed to tuberculosis at Sycamore High School.
"There's different levels of TB. There's different ways to treat it, but we are talking about tuberculosis," Hamblin said.
Her concern is why action isn't being taken faster.
Cheatham County school officials say they were first informed of a case of tuberculosis at Sycamore on March 27.
"However, the parents were not notified until April 2 via telephone. Why the delay?" Hamblin asked.
On Saturday, parents were sent a letter from the Department of Health saying on-site clinic tests would be held in eight to 10 days.
Hamblin says she immediately started making calls to get the date moved up.
"There is a concern of why there was a delay telling us to begin with and why this wasn't a priority enough to go ahead and get the testing done now," Hamblin said.
The school system contacted parents Monday, saying the clinic test would instead be on Wednesday.
Schools Director Stan Curtis told Channel 4 News the date for clinic tests are up to the Department of Health and had been moved up due to parental concerns.

Too much parade rudeness
I am dismayed at the rudeness of more and more people. We attended the Veteran's Day parade in DeLand, and were sitting (properly) in our lawn chairs with our feet on the curb, with several other people arranged properly. An older couple came and stood directly in front of us in the street just as the parade started. I asked the woman to please move and she gave me a dirty look, moved about 10 feet to the north, and stood in front of some other people.
The same thing occurred in Orange City at the Christmas Parade. We were sitting properly in our chairs, and about 20 other people were positioned as such to the south along the curb. A family set up their chairs to the north of us, but proceeded to stand in front of us and allow their little children to run all over collecting the candy thrown from the floats. That family also threw their lemonade lemon halves out into the street, and left behind their cotton candy paper handles, candy wrappings, and pop cans, in sight of the trash cans that were about 20 feet away. Shame on them.
What bothers me are screaming children
I am a resident here in DeLand. We own two dogs. I have been reading articles by people who object and people who agree dogs should be allowed in outdoor cafes and restaurants. What bothers me are not the dogs. What bothers me are children. I get very upset when I go out and sit down for a meal and an unthinking parent has a screaming, loud, spoiled child. It is terrible. You can't enjoy your dinner. Many times I said to my wife, they won't allow us to bring our dogs in here, which lay by our side and don't ever bark, but these children scream. I don't understand the thinking. We go to a mall, children are screaming. The parents are too spoiled or ignorant to take care of them. Children shouldn't be allowed in restaurants until they are 7 years old and have been brought up correctly. Dogs are much better behaved than children.
Don't knock people with pets
I don't understand all the hype over dogs being on a restaurant patio. It's outside and if the dogs are well trained I see no problem.
Anyone who doesn't like dogs can eat inside the restaurant or go elsewhere.
The person who wrote that "pet friendly hotels are another ridiculous idea" doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. We travel north for two months during the summer and of course take our pets with us. The pet-friendly hotels are where we stop and are welcome with our pets. If he/she doesn't like animals, that's fine -- go to a motel that is "people friendly," but stop knocking places that welcome people with pets.
Park needs to be cleaned up
I would like to see smoking at Manatee Park stopped. I would like for New Smyrna Beach to put up a sign that says no smoking, pets and littering in the play area. We need someone to clean the park up.
Not enough Pearl Harbor
I am very dissatisfied with the Dec. 7 issue. I remember Dec. 7, 1941, there were many heroes and your paper did not recognize them. Discouraging.
Granada looks beautiful
Have all of you noticed the beautification effort on Granada Boulevard? We've seen extensive weeding, dead plant removal, new plant installation, mulch and irrigation repairs. It looks so much better. Many thanks to our city commissioners, our Landscape Architect and our city manager for recognizing a problem and doing something about it.
Travel insurance is a good thing
My husband and I recently took a cruise to the Bahamas. Someone tried to rob my purse and I fell and fractured my hip. Fortunately, I was given great care because I had travel insurance. My own insurance was not accepted out of the country. The travel insurance was the only thing that covered me. Because of the travel insurance I was able to be flown back to Halifax Hospital to take care of my fracture.
Worried about the fiscal cliff
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting annoyed with the bickering of our politicians over this fiscal cliff business.
If they can't come to an agreement by the end of the year, why not penalize them by withholding their pay until they finally settle with an agreement, and not give it back to them after they settle. Better yet, let us also go a step further and let the taxpayers have something to say about how we're getting the shaft from our elected representatives. After all, they do work for us.
It also bothers me to see the GOP wants to cut the cost of living for Social Security, especially with the current spin that is used to calculate the yearly increases. Do any of them go shopping for food or other essentials?
You don't see them cutting back on their lucrative perks do you?
In response to 'In response to: 'Leave Women Alone' responses' in the Nov. 30 issue
The writer of this letter said "The Christian reply was laughable in two respects: the Bible wasn't begun to be written until hundreds of years A.D. By then it was all hearsay and many of the prophecies came from Greek mythology." This writer obviously hasn't done any research as to when the Bible was written. To begin with, the Old Testament was first written more than 4,000 years before Christ's birth. The New Testament was all written during the first century after Christ's birth. None of these books were written hundreds of years later as the writer alleged. A very concise study of the Bible is "The Case For Christ" researched extensively and written by an atheist, Lee Strobel, a graduate of Yale Law School and legal journalist for the Chicago Tribune. He set out to prove Christ was not the Son of God and was not resurrected after dying on the cross. When he examined all of the evidence he'd gathered to prove his theory, he became a believer in Jesus as his Lord and Savior and God our Father. The vast majority of Old Testament prophesies concerning Jesus' first coming came true. All the prophecies concerning his second coming are happening before our very eyes. Please ask the writer to research his statements and convictions before making them without any proof or substance. I, too, used to be an atheist, but am now a humble believer in Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
Dan, don't go to 'Wally World'
I always like Dan Smith's column, but I do have a nit to pick with the Nov. 30 column.
I agree with his assessment on the overall degradation of quality in our modern life. But when he mentioned that he went to "Wally World" (i.e., Walmart) to buy a TV, all I could think of was that it is his own fault. I respect Walmart's business model but Walmart prides themselves on low prices, which they can offer because their huge clout allows them to beat vendors down on price to the point where they have to sacrifice quality. You can't expect anything else. It might be true that you often pay for something you don't get, but you rarely get something you don't pay for. If he wants better quality and service, he should shop at a local store that carries quality merchandise and stands behind their products.
In response to: 'Land of the rednecks'
Let me begin by saying you have my sympathy on the loss of your cat. As an animal lover, it's disturbing when such an attack takes place that could have been prevented. On the same note, as an animal lover and citizen, we need to have some self-responsibility when it comes to such matters. I quote you, "We have a leash law in Volusia County ... enforce it." The Edgewater Code of Ordinances Part II Chapter 5 Section 5-15 states "While on or off the property of the owner, it shall be the duty of every owner to keep the animal under restraint and control as defined in Section 5-2." I'm assuming, therefore, you were outside with your cat, which again I'm assuming was under restraint when the attack happened. No? Hypocrite? When in glass houses ... Just because your pet was a cat does not make your immune to the municipal code. While I'm sure the attack was devastating for your family, it was avoidable. Unless you have all your ducks in a row, do not condemn someone who doesn't. Protect your "defenseless pets" or don't complain when the unthinkable happens. Also please, in short, don't condemn all pit bulls. They can be a very loving and loyal breed. My five-year-old son and five-year-old niece are around them constantly and I know they are well protected at any given time. All animals bite when provoked, it's nature. Self-responsibility people ... self-responsibility.

Wish List
A heel spur is
a boney growth at the bottom and back of the heel. X-rays often show it to have a "Hook-like" appearance.
If the rough "Hook" aggravates the surrounding tissues and
ligaments, there can be considerable pain when you walk or
Some experts
believe the boney growth is an attempt to "hold on" to the
plantar fascia ligament. Anytime the body lays down extra
bone, it is making an attempt to protect sensitive tissues
and further damages or injuries.
Heel Spurs can
develop if you have flat feet or... suddenly lose arch
support and tension in the plantar fascia ligament. (The
plantar fascia ligament attaches to the heel bone.) If the
plantar fascia ligament is stretched, it does affect the
attachment to the heel bone and a heel spur often develops.
Repeatedly wearing rubber boots that have little or no arch
support can cause heel spur.
Spurs on the
heels can also be caused by a shortened and tight calf
muscle or a pulled Achilles tendon.
Not all heels
spurs cause pain. Some people have severe heel pain, but the
x-rays show no spurs. The pain in the heel caused by a heel
spur can be very disabling or debilitating and may continue
for weeks or months.
But good news! Just by wearing the
Prolotex™ Infrared Socks, your pain and suffering will be
eased and you will be "Back on your Feet" faster than those
people not wearing Prolotex™ Socks.

To Memzer, Its your Base Mana not your Total Mana.
That means your mana pool before Gear/Talents/Racials/Buffs
I believe mages have between 2.5k-3k Base mana pool before those, that means your Poly will costs somewhere in the vacinity of 300-360 mana per cast.
Now with that said, this change is going to happen to a lot of skills, its not just Polymorph recieveing a mana cost based on Base Mana.
My guess is they are doing this because our spell books are getting pretty over bloated and with some spells they will have no reason to cast a lower rank so they will most likely just remove lower ranks.

Some fun tidbits.
A law passed in Nebraska in 1912 really set down some hard rules of the road. Drivers in the country at night were required to stop every 150 yards, send up a skyrocket, then wait eight minutes for the road to clear before proceeding cautiously, all the while blowing their horn and shooting off flares..
Abraham Lincoln had no love for favor seekers, especially when they took his time away from the duties of the presidency during the Civil War. On one occasion, he gathered together a number of would- be-office holders and told them this story:
"There was once a King who wished to go out hunting, so he asked his minister if it was going to rain. The minister assured him that it would not. On the way to the woods, the King passed a farmer who was working the land with his donkey. The farmer warned the King that it would rain soon, but the King just laughed and continued on. A few minutes later it was pouring, and the King and his companions were soaked to their skin. Upon return to the castle, the King dismissed his minister and sent for the farmer. He asked the man how he knew it was going to rain.
""It was not me, your Majesty. It was my donkey. He always droops one ear when it is going to rain."
"So the King bought the donkey from the farmer and gave him the position of minister at court. This was where the King made his mistake."
"How was that," asked several people in the audience.
"Because ever since then," Lincoln continued, "every jackass wants an office. Gentlemen, leave your credentials and when the war is over you'll hear from me."
One of the movie moguls the Marx Brothers had to deal with was Irving Thalberg of MGM. Purposefully or not, Thalberg had the annoying habit of making people wait outside his office for extended periods of time. One time he kept the Marx Brothers longer than they liked. When he finally got around to seeing them, he discovered they were stark naked outside his doorway, roasting potatoes in the lobby's fireplace. It was the last time he kept them waiting.
According to many language experts, the most difficult kind of phrase to create is a palindrome, a sentence or group of sentences that reads the same backward and forward. A few examples:
Red rum, sir, is murder.
Ma is as selfless as I am.
Nurse, I spy gypsies. Run!
A man, a plan, a canal - Panama.
He lived as a devil, eh?
In the memoirs of Catherine II of Russia, it is recorded that any Russian aristocrat who displeased the queen was forced to squat in the great antechamber of the palace and to remain in that position for several days, mewing like a cat, clucking like a hen, and pecking his food from the floor.
An eighteenth-century German named Matthew Birchinger, known as "the little man of Nuremberg," played four musical instruments including the bagpipes, was an expert calligrapher, and was the most famous stage magician of his day. He performed tricks with the cup and balls that have never been explained. Yet Birchinger had no hands, legs, or thighs, and was less than 29 inches tall!
The eccentric and paranoid American recluse Langley Collier met his untimely end in 1947. While he was bringing food to his equally odd brother Homer, who lived as a total hermit, Langley tripped on a wire to one of his own booby traps and was crushed beneath a suitcase filled with metal, a sewing machine, three breadboxes, and several bundles of newspapers. Homer starved to death, and their bodies were undiscovered for three weeks.
When Leo Tolstoy and his brother were children, they created a club with a peculiar, almost impossible initiation ceremony. In order to become a member, one had to stand in a corner for a half an hour and not think of anything white.
When the French Academy was preparing its first dictionary, it defined "crab" as, "A small red fish which walks backwards." This definition was sent with a number of others to the naturalist Cuvier for his approval. The scientist wrote back, "Your definition, gentlemen, would be perfect, only for three exceptions. The crab is not a fish, it is not red and it does not walk backwards."
A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if a strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!
A rainbow can be seen only in the morning or late afternoon. It can occur only when the sun is 40 degrees or less above the horizon.

As you may recall, I partnered with Kerry Sparks and Miek Bruno to celebrate their new book, Hello, My Name is Pabst. We had a contest in search of the coolest kid's name we could find. Actually, it was the coolest kid's name that Kerry and Miek could find… because they were the judges. I have too many anxieties to judge things. (What if I chose wrong? I'd have to live with THAT.)
The authors/judges said that the competition was fierce. Fierce! And some of you tried to bribe them. Okay. No one bribed them. But, that would have been awesome, in a terrible, Lifetime-movie kind of way. Maybe there will be a movie based on this contest one day? There could be. It could happen. Adam Sandler, you may recall, bought the movie rights to Candyland. Well, today, on my blog, somebody won something. There were losers and there was a winner. What more does Candyland have going for it? Exactly. Moving on…
Kerry and Miek chose a winner based on a name that was innovative, cool, and had "a lovely ring to it." And that winner is Beringer Tate! Congrats Beringer Tate! And to his mom, Alicia. You get an advance copy of Hello, My Name is Pabst. And bragging rights. And, I bolded Beringer's name twice in this post just to make the day extra, extra special.
Thank you to everyone who entered. To those of you who lost, don't think of it as losing. Think of it only as not being good enough.
