Best Lightweight Walking Shoes
After sizing up the new field of featherweight walking shoes, testers made the greatest strides in these three pairs
By The Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Foot-Hugging Fave
At 6.2 ounces, the Easy Spirit Reinvent ($69, amazon.com) was the lightest and most affordable of the winners. The sneaker earned raves for a mesh upper that "conforms" to the foot, though some thought it ran large. Says Langone, "This is for a walker looking for minimal support and light weight."

Retro and hip, this necklace is made from 100 percent recycled silver, so it not only carries a message, it's easy on the environment, too. Sterling silver peace sign measures approximately 1-1/2" long x 1-1/8" wide on an 18" oval link chain with hook and hallmark tag. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Smoking tobacco products has lost most of the social acceptance it used to enjoy. Public spaces, restaurants, and now even bars, have banned tobacco smoking.
This trend is likely to continue – something that in 2013 likely doesn't come as a surprise to hear, and is the result of legal efforts to protect non-smokers from the dangers of passive smoke from burning tobacco cigarettes.
Traditional cigarettes pose even greater health concerns to the smoker.
The toxins from tobacco pesticides and the chemicals added by cigarette manufacturers are harmful to the lungs, heart and other organs. To discourage the use of traditional tobacco products, law makers have imposed hefty taxes.
This has greatly increased the price of cigarettes and other tobacco related products. Many smokers have started looking for an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes.
Electronic cigarettes, or E-cigarettes, are a great solution.
ECIGS are able to solve many of the problems of traditional cigarettes by delivering nicotine without burning tobacco. Nicotine is instead delivered through a mist created by heating a liquid nicotine solution and turning it into vapor.
The vapor is inhaled and the nicotine is absorbed through the lungs, just like traditional cigarettes. However, since no tobacco was burned in the process, no carbon monoxide or tar are inhaled. Carbon monoxide and tar are the two culprits that make traditional cigarettes so unhealthy. In addition to being smoke free, E-cigarettes are ash free and odor free.
E-cigarettes do not produce "smoke breath" or smelly clothes like traditional cigarettes do. Also, there are no cigarette butts to dispose of and no risk of fire from disposing of lit cigarettes.
V2 Cigs is the most popular brand in the USA and may now be the top selling ecig brand globally
E-cigarettes are a compact and portable device comprised of a cartridge, an atomizer and a battery. The cartridge usually serves as both the mouthpiece through which the vapor is inhaled and the tank where the liquid nicotine solution is stored.
The atomizer is a small coil that makes contact with both the battery and the liquid nicotine solution. When current enters from the battery, the atomizer creates resistance. This resistance generates heat, which vaporizes the liquid nicotine solution. The vapor is then inhaled and the nicotine delivered.
The "E-liquid" nicotine solution (commonly called simply Eliquid or EJuice) is generally comprised of four ingredients. The first two are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin.
Both ingredients are recognized as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration. Propylene glycol is a common food preservative, and vegetable glycerin is commonly used in both packaged foods and various medicines. They serve as the base for Eliquid because the other ingredients will easily dissolve into them and they can be vaporized.
The third ingredient is liquid nicotine.
This can come in many different strengths, depending on the preferences of the smoker. The nicotine can be left out entirely if one only wishes to simulate the act of smoking without the delivery of nicotine.
The final ingredient is the flavoring. Eliquid can come in a variety of flavors that either simulate the taste of traditional cigarettes, menthol cigarettes, or other non-cigarette flavors such as cherry, chocolate, coffee, or vanilla.
V2 Cigs Offers A Full Range Of Exciting Flavors For The Sophisticated Vaping Palette! Including 5 New Choices From the ZIGZAG Brand E Cigarette Line V2 Cigs is producing in partnership with National Tobacco
E-Cigarettes are a much more cost effective alternative to traditional cigarettes. Because of increased regulations and taxes, cigarette prices have skyrocketed to $15 a pack in some locations. This can be a serious drain on a smokers wallet.
Those looking for a cheaper alternative have found it in E-cigarettes. A single E-cigarette cartridge is the equivalent to a pack of cigarettes, but is much less expensive. Some of the best E-Cigarettes are offered by V2 Cigs.
V2 Cigs is a highly regarded E-Cigarette seller, created by ex-smokers for smokers.
They are consistently one of the top rated in E-Cigarette reviews. These reviews highlight the affordability, great discounts, E-Cigarette coupons offered, and excellent products. One E-Cigarette review noted that V2 Cigs was so reasonably priced that it was cheaper than two cartons of traditional tobacco cigarettes. Other highlights of the brand include, a wide variety of Eliquids, excellent taste, nice vapor, and great coupons.
A great feature of V2 Cigs, which really shows that they were designed by smokers, is that their E-Cigarettes simulate the shape, size and look of a traditional cigarette.
This is a great feature because it allows the smoker to experience the same sensations that they love about smoking without the smell, toxins, and costs. Many smokers find it to be easy to replace the nicotine from traditional cigarettes, but very difficult to replace the habit or ritual of smoking. V2 Cigs are designed to very accurately simulate that ritual, and it makes the transition from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes extremely simple.
V2 Cigs offers a choice between automatic and manual batteries.
- Automatic batteries further simulate traditional cigarettes. As the E-cigarette is puffed, the atomizer is activated and vapor is produced.
- Manual batteries have a small button that activates the atomization process when pressed. The manual battery allows for more heating of the liquid before puffing.
V2 Cigs lets the customer decide what method works best for them.
V2 Cigs also offer many varieties of Eliquid so you can customize your V2 Cigs experience. There are three varieties of traditional tobacco flavors (V2 Red – an American tobacco flavor, Sahara – a Turkish tobacco flavor, and Congress – a Refined tobacco flavor), There are three varieties of menthol flavors (Menthol – a refreshing mint flavor, Peppermint – a sweet mint flavor, and Mint Tea – smooth and refreshing).
V2 Cigs also offer four specialty flavors (Cherry – a farm fresh taste, Chocolate – a rich milk chocolate flavor, Coffee – a coffee flavor with cream and sugar, and Vanilla – smooth and satisfying). These flavors are also available in varying levels of nicotine from V2 Cigs, to further customize your E-cigarette experience.
V2 Cigs sell a variety of E-cigarette kits that include everything you need in one convenient and affordable bundle. Each kit includes a variety of batteries, flavor cartridges, and chargers. The V2 Cigs Beginners Kit is one of the most affordable starter kits on the market. The V2 Cigs Standard Kit is the essential E-Cig starter kit.
The V2 Cigs Standard Plus Kit contains all of the essentials plus a bonus carrying case. The V2 Couples Kit contains two standard kits for a pair switching to E-Cigs together. Finally, the V2 Ultimate Kit is a big value with all the gadgets. It has even more batteries and flavor cartridges as a well as metal carry case and car charger adapter. V2 Cigs offers E-cigarette kits that are a great product at a great price.
Unlike other E-cigarette brands, V2 Cigs offer a wide variety of accessories to even further customize your E-cigarette experience
V2 Cigs has everything from lanyards to help you avoid losing batteries, to specialty adapters designed specifically for UK or EU wall outlets. One of the most innovative accessories that V2 Cigs offers is a portable charging case that can recharge an E-cigarette battery up to 8 times even when you can't get to an outlet.
V2 Cigs are of the highest quality.
They use only their own designs, and all products are assembled at V2 Cigs certified assembly plants. Every Eliquid batch undergoes comprehensive testing, and V2 Cigs provides a listing of all of their ingredients online. In fact, V2 Cigs is so committed to quality and transparency that you can view testing results live on their website.
In order to insure that their flavor cartridges meet the high quality and consistency standards set by V2 Cigs, cartridges are tested daily by V2 engineers. V2 Cigs believe that their system will provide the most reliable and highest quality E-cigarettes available, and back all of their electrical products with a lifetime warranty.
Electronic Cigarette Reviews felt that V2 Cigs are among the best on the market.
They advised their readers that "…if you are looking for a high quality e-cigarette that can be customized to your liking and requires zero maintenance, go with V2 Cigs."
The E-Cigarette newbie turned critic, Tomi Shaw commented on v2cigs stating " I have complete confidence when recommending V2 to family, friends, and readers because it is one of the few brands that truly caters to consumers' needs and offers a product that never sacrifices quality while maintaining low costs."
V2 Cigs offers many discounts as well. The V2 cig coupons are frequently offered to customers to help keep costs low.
Electronic cigarettes offer many advantages as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. They avoid some of the major health and social drawbacks of traditional cigarettes, they are less expensive than traditional cigarettes, and they offer more variety in flavor and nicotine levels than traditional cigarettes.
V2 Cigs takes each of these advantages and takes them up another level over other E-cigarette brands.
V2 Cigs are among the safest on the market because of their rigorous testing. V2 Cigs are among the least expensive on the market because of their fantastic kit values and V2 Cigs coupons. Finally, V2 Cigs offer the most variety with their many flavor and nicotine level combinations.
All these factors, plus the many discounts and V2 Cigs coupons make V2 Cigs a great solution for someone looking for an affordable alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Experience what life was like for early American families.
Allow 2-3 days.
Southern Indiana was the first part of the state to be settled when French fur traders set up a trading post at Vincennes. Experience the southern part of the state through their eyes.
Visionaries in Vincennes Vincennes was established in 1732, making it the oldest European town in Indiana. In 1800, Vincennes became the capital of the Indiana territory. Take a tour of the Vincennes State Historic Sites and get a glimpse into this important period of the state's history. The sites include the Indiana Territory Capitol, Jefferson Academy, the print shop of Elihu Stout and the birthplace of Maurice Thompson.
Built in 1803-1804, Grouseland was the home of William Henry Harrison, the governor of the Indiana territory who later became the ninth president of the United States. This beautifully restored home is open for tours and is furnished with pieces from the time period including some of Harrison's possessions.
While in Vincennes, stop by the Old Cathedral Complex which includes the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier and the French and Native American cemetery. The current cathedral was built in 1826 and stands on the site of three previous churches. Bishops are buried in the church's crypt and the adjoining cemetery is the final resting place of more than 4,000 early citizens of Vincennes.
Historical Gatherings Travel south to Lyles Station in Gibson County. Established in the mid-1800s, Lyles Station is one of the last remaining African American settlements in Indiana. The community's heritage is preserved in the renovated Lyles Consolidated School which features a museum, gift shop, period garden and hands-on activities.
Stop for a bite at Indiana's oldest restaurant, The Log Inn , in Haubstadt. The Log Inn has been in continuous business since 1825 and was once a stop on the stage coach route between Evansville and Vincennes. Abraham Lincoln dined in the restaurant in 1844 while campaigning for Henry Clay. It was also a stop on the Underground Railroad and catered to workers digging the southern portion of the Erie-Wabash-Central Canal. Oil paintings, antiques and original relics of the period are displayed throughout the restaurant.
Near Evansville explore Angel Mounds State Historic Site , a preserved Native American site that tells the story of the Middle Mississippian culture that inhabited the area from 1000 to 1450 A.D. The site features an interpretive center and outdoor trails that lead through a reconstructed village.
Travel west to New Harmony , one of the most charming and unique towns in southern Indiana. New Harmony has been the home of two communal societies. The town was founded in 1814 by a religious group known as the Harmonie Society. From 1825 to 1827, New Harmony was the site of the Owen-Maclure Experiment, a model community where education and social equality could flourish. Tour historic buildings from the communal societies, dine at an award winning restaurant or attend a play at the Murphy Auditorium. Begin your visit at the Atheneum, New Harmony's Visitory Center. It houses exhibits, art galleries and a large theater where an orientation film on the town is shown daily.

it's a $20 coleman from walmart. 90 lumens output,comes w red and blue lenses. I modified it using a pressure switch from an old laser sight I had on my .22cal. Lengthened the wires on the switch and,after drilling a hole in the tail cap,ran one wire to +,and one to - side of battery pak.then put a 5/16x24 bolt through the tailcap. The bracket is a 6" piece of 3/8"x1/8" of flatbar from home depot. The way I've gor it set-up in the pic,it balances beautifully at the shot. I sacrificed a sims S-coil to mount between the light and bracket. It's very quiet and works great.
I've also got a 230 lumen ultrafire that will mount on a picatinny rail to go on my Athens. That one shines bright out to 100+ yards.

Rating: 5.00 out of 1 votes cast
Very nice
I ordered the Medium as I usually wear size 10. I liked the way that the skirt does NOT have a slit. It is a thin material which I like. I always wear a slip so this is no problem for me. I ordered both the black and the blue. I love them both and will get a lot of wear from both. (I just received them today)

Save the date – Thursday, April 1.
Jonny Imerman of Imerman Angels, a non-profit that offers one-on-one cancer support, to host FOUNDERS FIRED UP at Barleycorn River North in Chicago (cash bar with free admission). Twelve guest speakers will grace the crowd with their presence as they unveil their secrets of how and why they started their own non-profit organizations all with one goal in mind – to help others. Guest speakers include Chicago Bear Israel Idonije plus three CNN Heroes. Bring your friends and find out how you can make a difference in someone's life.
Speaking of helping others…
Jonny Imerman is an inspiration to each and every person he meets. Displaying a huge smile and ready to lend a helping hand, Mr. Imerman's organization, Imerman Angels, has touched lives around the world. A two-time cancer survivor, Mr. Imerman founded Imerman Angels in 2005 and began working at it full-time in 2006. Now heading into its eighth year, the organization is hosting its first annual gala to be held on Saturday, September 28 at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago.
Completing his MBA while fighting cancer, Mr. Imerman made a career change from the field of commercial real estate to working on his non-profit full-time, which also entailed a move from Michigan to Chicago. Imerman Angels grew and is still growing strong, having just hired a seventh employee and moving to a larger office; they connect people around the world. With a lot of help from friends, Imerman Angels receives the most funds from friends who run the Chicago Marathon and raise money. Then there are the big connections with cancer centers and LiveStrong, which has a link to Imerman Angels on its website.
How does Mr. Imerman feel about LiveStrong today? "LiveStrong is a movement; you have to separate Lance Armstrong from the organization," he says. "LiveStrong, based in Austin, Texas, employs over 100 people. Their impact is felt around the world, helping thousands of people every year. Donations are up and the organization will continue forward. As long as cancer is around, so will LiveStrong be around. LiveStrong CEO Doug Ulman, a three-time cancer survivor, will most likely become the new face of the company. Imerman Angles has a strong connection with LiveStrong, being listed under the topics Get Help, One-on-One Support, and Partners."
How does Mr. Imerman stay healthy? He's been a vegan for the past two years and stays away from sugar, salt, oil and gluten. Mr. Imerman drinks water all day long. His favorite options for "eating out" include Protein Bar, Freshii, Karyn's Cooked, and Whole Foods.
Coming in March…Eric Himel and Jonny Imerman will conduct their third makeover for a cancer patient and/or survivor, treating the client to a full-day of pampering from head to toe. Stay tuned.

"We have 12 'celebrity dancers' and they just started last week ... and they can practice with their partner up to three hours a week," said Jessica Mitcham, executive director for the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter. "And for those who come to the event, just like on the TV show there will be videos showing the couple practicing and some sound bites from them on why they chose to be involved with the event."
The dance teams are Deanna Berry and Steve Webb; Bryan Canty and Cara Collier; Wanda Cagle Gray and Chuck Nida; Kelley Dial and Ronnie Evans; JJ Jones and Donna Harshaw; Jennifer Matthews and Randy Henderson; Jim Pinkard and Kim Cook; Marlu Smith and Dewayne Barrett; Ted Smith and Bobbi Bruton; Jayce Stepp and Kasey Ashworth; Terry Slocum and MaryKate Ulshafer; and Louis Tonsmeire Jr. and Jill Mroczko.
The event will be held Saturday, March 2, at the Clarence Brown Conference Center. Tickets are available for a pre-event party — $125 for individual seats/tables of eight available for $750; or dance-off only for $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Compass Financial Partners, the presenting sponsor of the event, at 680 Douthit Ferry Road in Cartersville, 770-386-7007, email@example.com.
Check-in for the event will begin at 5:30 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. The show will start at 7 p.m.
Interested parties can donate now at www.goodneighborshelter.org or during the event as well as vote via text message for $1 per vote. According to a press release, "To participate, text the first name of your star, the amount you want to pledge, and your name to 41444. They will return your call to take payment for your pledge. Follow the stars on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CartersvilleDancesWithTheStars."
Local celebrity judges will award The Judges Choice award while votes will determine The People's Choice award.
"Several surrounding communities do a 'Dancing with the Stars'-style fundraiser for different charities and we were excited to do something like that," Mitcham said. "We thought it would be a fun, new way to raise money here in Bartow County and our goal here is to raise $60,000 that will be shared by the two organizations."
Since forming in 1996, the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter has served more than 4,600 people. Built in 2001, the 4,600-square-foot facility assists an average of nearly 400 individuals per year. While they are housed, Good Neighbor's guests are required to find a job within four weeks, and the shelter's staff helps them establish savings as well as focus on problem-solving skills and research future housing options.
BackPack Buddies operates by having churches, Parent Teacher Organizations and community groups each week deliver donated food items to a school in their community based on the BackPack Buddies menu. The items should provide for two breakfast meals, two lunch meals, three dinner meals and two snacks, which could include Ramen noodles, fruit snacks and beanie-weenies.
The menu is a suggestion derived from the national campaign and can be tweaked within the nutritional guidelines, costing about $5 to $7 a child for the weekend.
For the county, the individual schools will place the items in donated backpacks and students identified as being in need of additional nutrition can take the backpacks home with them on Friday and return them on Monday.

When we had an energy audit, we were told that our old Andersen windows didn't leak, so we decided not to replace them--there were plenty of other areas that were screaming for our money.
The exterior of the window sills, however, do have rot. I was thinking (hoping) that I could get away with just replacing the sub-sill nose. When I started digging away at the rot, there wasn't much left of the sill (as shown in the picture).
Are these windows worth saving?
If so, how do I replace the sill without having the window collapse on me?
Thanks in advance.
you could perhaps do a little Sawzalling around the sill plate on all sides, knock it out, do a little cutting on a piece of treated lumber so the window fits, and nail in. caulk. have fun replacing the weatherstrip.
if you find solid wood before you get inside, you could do the Bondo thing.
this is just offhand, the pros who drop by will be more practical.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
The board that sits on top of the sill (might be called the stool) also has rot damage. Is there a way to replace that or should I try to remove as much bad stuff as possible, treat the remains with hardener, and build back up with epoxy?
Regarding the sill itself; it's hard to tell, since it's so rotted, but is that just 2x lumber installed on a slant?
All windows are repairable, but it's easy to reach a point where you are spending lots of time and money to basically have a crappy window.
The outside nosing on the bottom sill is a sacrificial piece so it's easy enough to justify replacing it. On many modern sill pieces, they are made in two pieces so the outer part can be replaced. This is also available in a vinyl no-rot form. If your basic sill is still sound, then you can get just the outer portion of the sill - attach it and fill in any voids with two-part epoxy.
The interior stool is a separate piece and is fairly easy to replace with all new material.
The question point is the rest of the bottom sill. It's not 2x material but a shaped sill that tapers at a 10 degree pitch. You can buy new sill material (which would have the separate part nosing piece mentioned above). The problem here is that to attach the sill properly to the rest of the window means that the entire window should be removed.
This is usually where I make the fix or replace point - trying to remove and reinstall a damaged window can be time consuming at best and can lead to destroying the entire window at worst. But remember, I am billing out labor - something that doesn't always factor in to a DIY project.
I just do not have the time or patients to try and patch up old rotted out wooden windows.
By the time you go to the store and get all the needed materials and get back I could have in most cases removed and replaced that whole window with a new vinyl one that would look better, never need to be painted or patched again and would very likely save energy.
Given that you've removed the siding installation of a new window will be relatively easy. If you can get a stock window to fit it will be a new window install and not a replacement window. I'm with Joe, I'd replace given that the siding is out and being replaced.

Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I am fairly patient, but definitely not patient enough to take the existing window out to try to repair it.
The other windows in the house are Andersen--they're old now, but they are Andersen and we were trying to match them. Not as expensive as, let's say, "Marvin", but not cheap either.
Joe, take your time putting in that window. I'm having a hard time finding a lumber yard that stocks replacement sills
I've never been a fan of Anderson windows. I've been lucky enough to not have any in my own homes but I for sure have replaced hundreds that rotted out.
Most were clad windows that were just out of warranty.
When you contact Anderson directly they say they've never heard of a problem with there clad windows design.
I've replaced one Anderson bay window that was so bad I took a video of me cutting open the sill and having water just run out of it and I could remove all the old rotted wood with a spoon it was so bad.
I also showed pictures of a cross section of all the bottom sashes on all the double hungs where I made the cut in the middle of the sash and it also was full of water.
This was 10 year old windows.
They flat out refused to send a rep. to look them over.
There response was they must have been installed wrong.
Not likely since the same defect was found in over 5 different buildings in different towns.
I had Anderson clad windows in my first two houses. I liked them, but sold both homes when they were 4-6 years old.

Well... I spent way too much time digging out the old sill yesterday and ended up exposing lots of spongy wood on the frame. It just doesn't seem worth it. Unfortunately, I resigned myself to that decision AFTER I had gone out to buy sill replacement material (had to get to the lumber yard before they closed at noon on Saturday). I've already purchased Azek sub-sill. But, as they say, I'd just be putting "lipstick on a pig" (a driftwood pig in this case).
I hope that Joe's experience with Andersen is not typical because it seems that the Andersen 400 casements are the best match for my house.
Anyone else have experience with the Andersen 400 casements?
All replacement and new construction windows can be made to size so why does it need to be Anderson?
Joe, I guess it doesn't have to be Andersen.
It's just that the other windows are Andersen, the demo model looks solid, and, although I don't consider them cheap, they are a lot less expensive than the Jeld-Wen's or Marvins.
Would you have another suggestion for new construction window? Have you heard of Vinyl Window Designs (out of Ontario, Canada)? One of the local wholesalers carries them.This message has been edited. Last edited by: SturdyNail,
I thought I'd add a little update.
I removed one of the old Andersen wood windows today. As it turns out, only the sill was bad. The rest of the window was in surprisingly good shape. The wood was still light colored (not even stained).
Hopefully, the vinyl windows I'll be installing will have other benefits to justify the time and expense paid to switch to vinyl.

We live in a world that is increasingly connected. But whenever we gain something, we lose something as well.
The more we connect, the less time we have for solitude.
Who Wants To Be Alone?
Being alone is different from being lonely. And technically you are never alone because even when it's just you—you have yourself to talk to!
Being alone is a necessary part of being human. In order to discover who you are, unbury your true passions, and embark on the journey of self-actualizing, you have to find your own answers, all by yourself.
No one can tell you what makes your heart sing. No one can show you what you need in order to be happy. No amount of connection you have with spiritually enlightened, genuinely caring, or incredibly bright people can substitute the inward journey you must make in order to find your true path in life.
You need peace and quiet to start this journey. You need isolation. Patience. Maybe even meditation.
You need to do it alone. This journey is only for those brave enough to go within.
But Humans Are Social, Right?
Connecting with others is also a necessary part of being human. But it has its place. And it has its time.
In his thought-provoking article, "The End of Solitude," William Deresiewicz warns us that in our Web 2.0 culture, the need to connect with others is taking over. It leaves us no room for solitude, which is absolutely crucial to us because it "enables us to the secure the integrity of the self as well to explore it."
The contemporary self, he says, wants two things: celebrity and connectivity. This is because the contemporary self is fixated on becoming as visible as possible (which he explains has to do with the alienating effects of suburbanization.) This is also because the contemporary self can only define itself as it relates to others.
Sure, we sometimes we need to look to others to see who we are. Our universe can be our mirror if we pay enough attention to the patterns in our life. But we cannot rely solely on others to show us who we are and who we want to be. They are not qualified to do so. And they cannot give us the answers that we can only get from going within.
But Isn't Internet Connection A Good Thing?
The internet is changing the world for the better. But Deresiewicz sees it becoming too much of a good thing.
Too much internet magnifies the human impulse to look outwardly for what can only be found within. That impulse is also known as codependency, or believing that something outside of ourselves holds the key to our happiness, or the key to our worth.
Deresiewicz says: "A constant stream of mediated contact, virtual, notional, or simulated, keeps us wired to the electronic hive…The goal now, it seems, is simply to become known, to turn oneself into a sort of miniature celebrity."
More and more of us are becoming concerned with the number of Facebook friends or Twitter followers we have. And that if we don't check our e-mail every ten minutes, we will miss out on something important.
"Visibility secures our self-esteem, becoming a substitute, twice removed, for genuine connection. Not long ago, it was easy to feel lonely. Now, it is impossible to be alone."
[You can read the article here. It's very insightful and it will enlighten you on the psychology of the contemporary self trapped in the 2.0 web. If you find it worthwhile, Digg it here. You can also listen to Nora Young's Spark interview with Deresiewicz about this article.]
Don't Be Afraid To Be Alone
For you to become more mindful of the constructs you create in your life—the values you live by and the belief systems you operate from—you need to spend some quality alone time.
You need to invest in your relationship with yourself. It will make you more available in all of your other relationships. It will make those relationships more valuable.
Solitude allows you to go into the world, or onto the web, with a strong sense of you who are. It allows you to connect with others in meaningful ways. Solitude helps you to become who you are, and share your story with others. So don't be afraid to sit still and listen.
You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

No, I will not call it Progressive Field.
On Thursday night, after Dwyane Wade's Miami Heat visit the Cavaliers at the Q, the Indians are offering $10 unlimited ice skating and snow tubing at Snow Days. On top of that, there will also be $3 beer(!), $2 soda and $1 hot dogs available. That's a pretty sweet deal for all involved, but I can't help but feel a little hosed as a Tribe fan.
Where's my $3 beer on a hot summer day?
Ticket prices in Cleveland are some of the lowest in baseball, and that's a good start. However, do you, the reader, think it's a coincidence that after Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 and dropped their ticket AND beer prices to among the lowest in the league they broke several of their own attendance records? On top of that, they have been near the top of the league in attendance, many years beating the Yankees and Red Sox.
I know, I know. In 2003 the Angels were coming off of a World Series championship. That 2002 team was a low-salary, small market modeled team, though. Since then, revenues have sky rocketed and the Angels have been perennial contenders. What did the Indians do in 2008 when the team was one win away from the World Series the previous season? Well, nothing really.
The Dolans could learn something from the Arte Moreno business model. Moreno knew that, while winning a title was the best possible thing that could happen to the team, the best way to continue greatness was to pack the stadium each and every night. Those fans will, naturally, buy concessions, and concessions are the cash cow for stadiums and theaters and the like. Personally, I am more likely to buy two beers at $5.50 than one for $7.25 (and yes, that is the current price here in Cleveland). Once I get two or three down, $4.25 for a hot dog just doesn't seem that unreasonable. I think you can see where I'm going with this.
Now, I am not asking them to drop the price of beer to $3 (but, if they want to, I guess i would be ok with that), I am simply saying that if they brought it back down to a more reasonable price, it may deter less people from coming out. Even if they don't want to do that, maybe have some $3 beer nights or something similar to dollar dog night. I know the history of 10 cent beer night, but this is hardly comparable. At this point, its time for the front office to pull out all the stops to draw people to the stadium. Maybe that way, the players will be more motivated to perform.
Just an idea…

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 8, 2013)—Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer will aim for his fifth stakes win of the Spring/Summer meet when he sends out Scarlet Strike in the $100,000 Senorita Stakes Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.
A Grade III for 3-year-old fillies at one mile on turf, the Senorita is part of a stakes doubleheader. The nine race program also includes the $70,000-added Came Home Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs over Cushion Track.
Post time Saturday is 1 p.m. Gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts. The Senorita goes as the sixth race while the Came Home is the third.
This will also be the second of nine Saturdays during the meet offering a guaranteed Pick Six pool of $150,000.
If the Pick Six pool exceeds $200,000 on any of the remaining selected Saturdays – which also include May 25, June 1, June 15, June 22, June 29, July 6 and July 13 – there will be $1 Happy Hour food and drink specials offered at Whittingham's Pub and the Betfair Players' Lounge.
Additionally, a single winning ticket – purchased either at Betfair Hollywood Park or through Television Games Network (TVG)- will earn a bonus – a 2013 Toyota Prius courtesy of Toyota of Orange.
Owned by a partnership that includes Hollendorfer, John Carver and Green Smith, Scarlet Strike will be aiming for a second consecutive Grade III win. She wrapped up her Santa Anita meet with a half-length victory as the 2-1 favorite in the Providencia Stakes April 6.
The win was the second in 10 starts for the Smart Strike filly out of the French Deputy mare Scarlet Tango and pushed her earnings to $332,340.
Hollendorfer, who is looking for his first Senorita victory, won four stakes in the first four days of the Spring/Summer season. He won the B. Thoughtful with Curvy Cat, Melair (Doinghardtimeagain) and Tiznow (Kate's Event) April 27 and returned the next day to win the Grade III Wilshire Handicap with Halo Dolly.
An English bred daughter of Kheleyf, Charlie Em will make her United States debut in the Senorita for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and trainer Paddy Gallagher, who won this race in 2007 with Valbenny.
Out of the Pivotal mare Miss Meggy, Charlie Em won three of eight and banked $15,678 while competing in her native country and Germany. She has been idle since finishing third in a $25,700 stakes at Hannover in Germany last Nov. 4.
Need You Now stretches out in her second in the U.S. for owners Anthony Fanticola and Joe Scardino and trainer Mike Mitchell after finishing fifth of six in the Runway Stakes April 13 at Santa Anita.
An Irish bred daughter of Kheleyf and the Shernazar mare Sniffle, Need You Now has won two of five and earned $25,684.
Kyriaki will try to improve on a sixth place effort in the Providencia for owner Domenic Savides and trainer Peter Eurton. The Scat Daddy filly out of the Dixieland Band mare Tally Ho Dixie has one win in three races and a bankroll of $40,570.
Disko Dasko will make her first attempt beyond 6 ½ furlongs for owner Deron Pearson and trainer Jim Cassidy. The French bred daughter of Country Reel and the Nashamaa mare Rosalita has won two of six and earned $78,943. She was a 9-1 winner in her U.S. debut March 15 at Santa Anita before finishing fourth in the Runway Stakes.
Pearson and Cassidy will also be represented by Lilbourne Eliza, an Irish bred daughter of Elusive City. Out of the Marju mare Midnight Partner, Lilbourne Eliza has one win in five races and a bankroll of $24,453. She lost by a nose to Becky Lou in an optional claimer April 18 at Santa Anita in her first start in the country.
Trainer John Sadler, a two-time winner of the Senorita – Paula Revere (1991) and Cozi Rosie (2010) – is scheduled to start Sweet Red Cat.
Third in the Providencia, the Bluegrass Cat filly out of the Lord Avie mare Sweet Soul has won twice in six starts and earned $80,150. She is owned by Batchelor Family Trust and Judi Partridge.
Showgirl Form returns to Southern California for owner-breeder Ernie Moody's Mercedes Stables LLC and trainer Tim Yakteen after defeating maidens April 27 at Golden Gate Fields.
The 2 ¼ length win for the Dynaformer filly out of the Theatrical mare Dominique's Show was her first in three starts. She's earned $27,650.
From inside out, the field for the Senorita Stakes: Lilbourne Eliza, David Flores rides, 115 pounds; Kyriaki, Mike Smith, 117; Showgirl Form, Tyler Baze, 117; Disko Dasko, Edwin Maldonado, 115; Sweet Red Cat, Victor Espinoza, 117; Need You Now, Julien Leparoux, 115; Charlie Em, Garrett Gomez, 115 and Scarlet Strike, Rafael Bejarano, 121.
Scherer Magic, who won the Grade III Hollywood Juvenile Championship in 2012, will make his first start as a 3-year-old in the Came Home.
Trained by John Sadler for owners Cecil and Gary Barber, the Doneraile Court gelding out of the Touch Gold mare She's a Nasty One has been away since finishing ninth of 10 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Preview last Nov. 3 at Santa Anita.
An Iowa bred who has won two of six and earned $148,400, Scherer Magic is 2-for-2 over Cushion Track. Prior to this 2 ½ length win in the Juvenile last July 14, the dark bay had broken into the game one month earlier with a 7 ¼ length victory against $50,000 claimers. He was claimed out of that win by his current connections from owner Joseph Robson and trainer Craig Dollase.
Treasury Bill shortens up in his return to California for owners Gary and Mary West and trainer Ron Ellis.
A son of Lemon Drop Kid and the Menifee mare Wow Me Free, Treasury Bill finished eighth of 11 in the Grade II Rebel Stakes March 16 at Oaklawn Park. A winner once in four starts, the Kentucky bred has earned $71,000.
Prior to his off-the-board finish in Arkansas, Treasury Bill had finished second to Shakin It Up in the Grade II San Vicente – at the Came Home distance – Feb. 17 at Santa Anita.
Let Em Shine comes off consecutive easy wins for owner William Peeples and trainer Adam Kitchingman. The Songandaprayer colt out of the Johannesburg mare Justaspell defeated maidens by 7 ½ lengths Jan. 19 at Santa Anita before defeating four rivals by 4 ¼ lengths in an optional claimer March 10.
In his only start as a 2-year-old, Let Em Shine finished third after setting the pace against maidens last Dec. 15 at Betfair Hollywood Park. The Kentucky bred has earned $73,800.
Belvin, who was last seen trailing in the San Vicente, will make his second local start for owner-breeder Don Dizney and Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
A son of Empire Maker and the Storm Bird mare Midway Squall, Belvin has won once in three starts and earned $42,850. He finished second behind Distinctiv Passion in his career debut over Cushion Track last Nov. 25.
Broadway Empire enters off a blowout maiden victory in his debut March 18 at Turf Paradise.
The gelded son of Empire Maker and the Belong to Me mare Broadway Hoofer won by 16 ½ lengths as the 1-2 favorite against six opponents. Robertino Diodoro trains Broadway Empire, who earned $6,684 for the victory, for owners Bob Butz, Randy Howg and Rick Running Rabbit.
From inside out, the field for the Came Home Stakes: Let Em Shine, Edwin Maldonado rides, 117 pounds; Belvin, Rafael Bejarano, 115; Treasury Bill, Joe Talamo, 115; Scherer Magic, Garrett Gomez, 121 and Broadway Empire, Victor Espinoza, 115.

Our Audible editors have picked a few of the fantastic titles which caught their eyes (and ears) recently, selected just for you.
I absolutely devoured The Husband's Secret. From the first chapter I was gripped and I read it in two settings. I worried about the characters - I even woke up in the middle of the night wondering how the author could possibly resolve the events that she'd set in motion. This isn't epic literature, but it's incredibly readable and totally gripping - the kind of book you want for a long plane flight.' --Amazon Customer Review
The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th-century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement for someone still in her mid-20s, and will confirm for critics and listeners that Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.
Everyone's favourite diarist returns with her hotly anticipated third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Helen Fielding introduces us to a whole new phase of Bridget's life: the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by, the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, total lack of twitter followers, and TVs that need three remotes to simply turn on. An uproariously funny novel of modern life.
Shortlisted for Costa First Novel Award, this stunning tale of a mother's strength and devotion is set in the months leading up to Bangladesh's independence. Spring, 1971, East Pakistan. Rehana Haque is throwing a party for her beloved children, Sohail and Maya. Her young family is growing up fast, and Rehana wants to remember this day forever. But on the hot city streets, something violent is brewing. As the civil war develops, a war which will eventually see the birth of Bangladesh, Rehana struggles to keep her children safe and finds herself facing a heartbreaking dilemma. 'A real page-turner, with a bravura, heart-stopping ending' --Sunday Telegraph
Narrated by Bryson himself, this audiobook will take to you to the summer when America came of age, took centre stage, and changed the world forever. In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day, a semi-crazed sculptor with a plan to carve four giant heads into a mountain called Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who started the summer wholly unknown, and finished it as the most famous man on earth.
A chance conversation about the inventor of the game Cluedo inspired The Times parliamentary sketchwriter Ann Treneman to begin her quest to find Britain's 100 best graves. From Byron's dog and Conan Doyle to a notorious Victorian hangman who kept pet rabbits, Marc Bolan and the real James Bond, Treneman's book is part travelogue, part biography and part social history. While some entries are humorous, others are more poignant. But all offer an intriguing insight into the British way of death.
Kim Newman returns to one of the great vampire tales of the modern era. This brand new novel, the first in over a decade from the remarkable Anno Dracula series, begins with a single question: What if Dracula had survived his encounters with Bram Stoker's Dr John Seward and enslaved Victorian England? As vampire boy Johnny Alucard sinks his fangs ever deeper into the zeitgeist of 1980s America, it seems the past might not be dead after all.
From the writers of the brilliant The Mall and The Ward comes a chilling tale. Ryan, a predator with a past, is working as a handyman at an exclusive private school. He is fascinated by a new girl, who seems to have a strange effect on the children around her. School library volunteer Tara also makes Reborns - eerily lifelike newborn dolls. Tara and Ryan are drawn into a terrifying scheme - one that will have an impact on every pupil. 'Original and unsettling… an exciting new talent --SFX
From the author of Booker prize shortlisted novel, A Tale for the Time Being, comes this novel of parallel lives. In New York, struggling filmmaker Jane gets a job producing a Japanese docu-soap sponsored by an American meat exporter. Meanwhile in Tokyo, bulimic housewife Akiko diligently prepares the recipes from Jane's programme. How Jane and Akiko's lives collide provides romance, humour, intrigue, and even a muckraking message about the Wal-Martification of America.
The terror begins. London is struck by an invasion. Women, children, old and young, none are safe from the deadly menace. The attacks are swift and sure, escape is impossible. A state of emergency is declared. Evacuation seems the only solution in the face of a growing panic and mounting death toll. War is declared on the public enemy number one. The Rats!
When Cal Weaver stops at a red light on a rainy night while driving home, he ignores the bedraggled-looking teenage girl trying to hitch a lift. But when he realises she's one of his son's classmates, he can't really ignore her. How much harm could it do? Over the next 24 hours Cal is about to find out. Because the next morning, a police cruiser turns up at his door and asks him if he gave a lift to a girl the previous night. A girl who has now been found brutally murdered.
Jennifer Saunders' comic creations have brought joy to millions. From Comic Strip to Comic Relief, from Ab Fab to her takes on Madonna and Mamma Mia, her characters are household names. But it's Jennifer herself who has a place in all our hearts. This is her funny, moving, and frankly bonkers memoir, filled with laughter, friends, and occasional heartache - but never misery.
'I was born head over heels in love with football. It saved me, and 50 years on that hasn't changed one bit - I'd be lost without it...' Harry's the manager who's seen it all - from a dismal 70s portakabin at Oxford City to the unbeatable highs of the Premiership. He's the last of an old-fashioned breed of English football man - one who's managed to move with the times and always come out fighting.
Guilt and grief have driven a wedge between long time crime-fighting partners psychologist Tony Hill and ex-DCI Carol Jordan. But just because they're not talking doesn't mean the killing stops. Someone is killing women. Women who bear a disturbing resemblance to Carol Jordan. And when the evidence begins to point in a disturbing direction, thinking the unthinkable seems the only possible answer. 'A genuine page turner' --Independent on Sunday
There's a new comedy duo in town! Posh-boy comedian Jack Whitehall and his father Michael perform their laugh-out-loud autobiography as a unique dual-voiced comedy audiobook, filled with ad-libs and comic dialogue. Tackling topics such as Jack's nanny's enormous feet to weird and eccentric relatives, this is a hilarious and sometimes bumpy journey of self-discovery between a father and a son.
Why do underdogs succeed so much more than we expect? Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a journey through the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty, and reveals the true meaning of advantage and disadvantage. When does a traumatic childhood or a disability work in someone's favour? Do you really want your child to go to the best school he or she can get into?

As the Times gossip columnist, Hugo Rifkind realised it would be much easier to do his job if he could make all the stories up. So he did. For years now, his hilarious 'My Week' column has satirised anyone foolish or unfortunate enough to make headlines that week. Rifkind's victims are as diverse and as headline-grabbing as David Cameron, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Edwina Currie, Barack Obama and Pippa Middleton. This book collects the very best of this incredibly popular column, introduced and linked in a way that adds zest and background to the entries. 'Never less than funny; always more than funny.' --Matthew Parris
