I have never been fortunate enough to just be a guest at a wedding. I'm always in the wedding party and more often than not, I'm the maid of honor. For some reason I have that "maid of honor" appeal, or maybe, and far more realistically, the majority of my close friends just don't have sisters who can fill that role.
When Holly asked me to be her maid of honor, I was hesitant. Yes, we had been friends since 4th grade, but it was also a friendship that had been very on-again off-again over the years depending on how caught up she was with whatever fella she was dating at the time. I was also already lined up to be my sister's maid of honor that summer, as well as another friend's, so it just seemed to be too much. And honestly, I loathe being maid of honor. I'd rather find myself at the gynecologist with my legs in stirrups for an entire day than deal with all the drama that comes with such a "prestigious" part of a wedding.
Since I knew Holly was going to be asking me, I had already, long before her actual request, thought about whether or not this was a road I'd want to go down with her. Even before she officially asked, two of her other friends had already thrown fits and cried because they knew that they were going to be just bridesmaids. It was a scene to which I really did not want to be privy.
But our history as friends, although fair weather at times, won out and I agreed to fill the position with a teeth-gritted smile.
Being in New York City let me off the hook with a lot of things when it came to planning the shower and bachelorette party. The two women who had already all but threatened suicide over my appointment of maid of honor were more than happy to organize the necessary events leading up to the weddings since they were all in New Hampshire. They were practically throwing each other under a bus over who would decide on the colors for the shower and who would get 60 percent of the credit for the damn thing. From a few states away, I just watched all the arguing unfold via email and considered myself grateful that all I had to do was show up, smile, and yet my "crown" was still in tact.
Then something wonderful happened.
I got a job in the fashion world. Although my original dream was to move to the city to write, answering phones at a fashion-related company was far more glamorous than doing the same at a doctor's office while I pursued my writing on the side. A few weeks into my new job I realized there was one glitch in this new-found fancy job that had me in daily contact with some of the most famous designers in the world: I would have to choose between Holly's wedding and Fashion Week. Her wedding happened to fall on the Saturday of September's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
Although I was never explicitly told that my job was on the line if I took off the weekend and the days leading up to it, the notion was implied. This was before the recession so if I had to quit, having only been there for a few months, I probably would have found something else, but the problem was that it was Fashion Week in New York City. I was about to attend an event that I had been reading about my entire life; I was about to meet designers over whom I had swooned since I first picked up a Vogue. I was about to fulfill some sort of dream, and it was that dream that won over being at Holly's wedding that September day. As she walked down the aisle, I was at Bryant Park in a far-from-designer dress with my boss, playing pretend.
Holly did not understand when I told her my decision. She let loose about how I had been an "absent" maid of honor from the beginning and anyone else would "kill" to have been in my place at her upcoming wedding. While I did not disagree with her, I did think about how many more people would have killed to be in place at Fashion Week that year.
Again our friendship went into off mode, as I knew it would. When she got pregnant on her honeymoon, it went back into on mode, and then off mode again a year later when she couldn't understand why I didn't want to spend Christmas with her new family. Apparently, she had forgotten that I had my own family with whom to spend the day.
I realize now that my decision was selfish. If I were a really good friend I would have been there. I would have altered my entire summer to be at her beck and call, as many maids of honor do, but it's just not me. I'm a far too selfish person to be a maid of honor, but yet that doesn't stop people from continuing to ask me to be one.
I do not regret my choice to bail on Holly's wedding. Had it been my sister, this story would have ended differently: I would not have known what Fashion Week looks and feels like. But now that I do and had that experience, I know in my heart that I made the right choice for me. I moved to New York City for many reasons, and being part of a glitziness that you can't find in many corners of the world is one of those many reasons.
I Gave Up Being a Maid of Honor for Fashion Week
I have never been fortunate enough to just be a guest at a wedding. I'm always in the wedding party and more often than not, I'm the maid of honor. For some reason I have that "maid of honor" appeal, or maybe, and far more realistically, the majority of my close friends just don't have sisters who can fill that role.

Pixar has named the main building at its headquarters after the man who helped to finance the company in 1986 and was one of the instrumental figures in seeing it move into a full-scale movie animation studio.
The Steve Jobs Building has been so named to honour the late Apple CEO's memory, something that has gained distinct approval from Pixar staff members. One, Junn Lee (@ijunns) reposted a picture of the building taken by a friend along with the message, "Love you Mr. Jobs!"
Pixar fan site The Pixar Times reveals that the design of the newly named location was aided by Jobs himself. "Peering in through the windows, you can clearly see the outline of Sulley, confirming that this is the main building that Steve Jobs himself played a major role in designing," it says.
"He came up with the idea that the building should be centred around a large atrium."
Pixar also honoured Jobs with a touching tribute during the end credits of Brave.

|Slim Aarons - Poolside Gossip
It's March. This is when I start pretending I live in a Slim Aaron's world (particularly Slim Aarons' Palm Springs-style). This is going to be an incredible month. We have a trip to Palm Springs and Charleston happening AND we find out if we're having a boy or a girl at the end of the month! I'm hoping that our trips re-inspire me. Being cooped up inside has done very little to motivate me blog-wise, hence the light postings this week. So here's to March being a little more inspired (somebody please go have a mimosa for me right now. Right now.)
Enjoy a few of these linkies, with champagne drinkies!

Good to Great – (Author: Jim Collins) Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders; The Hedgehog Concept; A Culture of Discipline; The Flywheel and the Doom Loop.
Built to Last – (Author: Jim Collins & Jerry Porras) Built to Last identifies 18 "visionary" companies and sets out to determine what's special about them. To get on the list, a company had to be world famous, have a stellar brand image, and be at least 50 years old. We're talking about companies that even a layperson knows to be, well, different: the Disneys, the Wal-Marts, the Mercks. Whatever the key to the success of these companies, the key to the success of this book is that the authors don't waste time comparing them to business failures. Instead, they use a control group of "successful-but-second-rank" companies to highlight what's special about their 18 "visionary" picks. Thus Disney is compared to Columbia Pictures, Ford to GM, Hewlett Packard to Texas Instruments, and so on.The core myth, according to the authors, is that visionary companies must start with a great product and be pushed into the future by charismatic leaders.

The Last American Highway (Author Stew Magnuson)
Descending 1,885 miles straight down the center of the United States from Westhope, North Dakota, to Brownsville, Texas, is U.S. 83, one of the oldest and longest of the federal highways that hasn't been replaced by an Interstate. Stew Magnuson takes readers on a trip down the road and through the history of the Northern Great Plains. The famous and the forgotten are found in stories he discovers in the Dakotas. Explorers Pierre de la Vérendrye, Lewis & Clark, Jedediah Smith, are all encountered along with Chief Spotted Tail of the Brulé Lakotas, TV sensation Lawrence Welk and rodeo superstar Casey Tibbs. The murderers, settlers, ballplayers and rail barons from yesteryear meet today's truckers, oil rig workers and ghost towns inhabitants as Magnuson launches his own Voyage of Discovery in a beat-up 1999 Mazda Protégé. Published on the 125th anniversary of the year North Dakota and South Dakota became states, The Last American Highway: A Journey Through Time Down U.S. Route 83: The Dakotas, is a love poem to the natural beauty of the prairie and the fascinating people—both past and present—found along the road.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.
Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?
Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"-filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
Last names: Jensen - Kroupa
Outliers: The Story of Success.
Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.
Last names: Nelson – Renaas
The Tipping Point
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.
Last names: Rusche – Youngblom
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants. Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. From there, David and Goliath examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms---all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.

That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back
(Author: Thomas L. Friedman, Michael Mandelbaum)
America is in trouble. We face four major challenges on which our future depends, and we are failing to meet them—and if we delay any longer, soon it will be too late for us to pass along the American dream to future generations. That Used to Be Us, Friedman and Mandelbaum, offer both a wake-up call and a call to collective action. They explain how the end of the Cold War blinded the nation to the need to address these issues seriously, and how China's educational successes, industrial might, and technological prowess remind us of the ways in which "that used to be us." And yet Friedman and Mandelbaum believe that the recovery of American greatness is within reach.

"Whether you are looking simply to run somewhere fun, rejuvenate your running, or really improve, you can do it at these retreats. They are structured so you can get as much out of it as you want and always have fun doing it! The retreats are well done and well run!"
— Amanda S., Golden, CO
"This retreat was one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
It was a great opportunity to learn from such a knowledgeable and compassionate coach and share my love of running with a fun-loving group of women. I returned home more motivated and inspired about my running."
–Patricia H., Boulder, CO
What's It really like at our retreats?says Amanda Loudin for The Washington Post:
"… All of which led me to the red rocks of Moab, Utah, at the end of March to attend Run Wild Retreats & Wellness, a four-day mindful running retreat involving workshops and a variety of guided runs. I needed to restore my equilibrium, and I hoped that by learning to approach my hobby of choice with more intent, I could accomplish that. I wanted to flip the switch from stressing over training missed to embracing the runs I made. I did all that and more in a beautiful, restorative setting."

ROSEMONT,ILL — ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Roland Hemond apparently is not going to be shut out at the winter meetings, though he still has not put together the kind of blockbuster deal that would fill the Baltimore Orioles' run-production gap.
The Orioles are expected to close a lesser deal today, trading reserve center fielder Dave Gallagher to the California Angels for minor-league pitchers David Martinez and Mike Hook.
A club source confirmed that the deal had been agreed to and probably would be announced early today. A second source named the two Angels pitchers, one of whom (Martinez) is on the club's 40-man roster, but indicated that there was a slight chance that one of those names could be changed today.

Everyone notices small changes in their body as they age. Changes can depend on several factors. Genetics plays a strong role, however even with a family history of obesity, the choices you make in diet and exercise can greatly influence whether you'll have the same weight problems that your parents may have. How you manage your metabolism can have a big impact on our weight and ageing process.
Changes in hormones can cause body fat to accumulate in the abdominal area, especially in women. As we age we also experience a slow decline in muscle mass and our Basal metabolic rate (BMR). BMR is a measure of how many calories a body uses in a day.
As many of us have already noticed, muscle mass decreases as we age. Adults can lose 3%-5% of muscle mass per decade, and the decline increases to 1%-2% per year after age 50. Muscle keeps us strong, it burns calories and helps us maintain our weight, and it is also an essential contributor to our balance and bone strength.
With muscle mass accounting for a large portion of daily metabolic rate, any loss of this tissue reduces the amount of calories burned through BMR each day. If you are not exercising regularly then your muscle mass and BMR will be effected at a greater rate. Over time, if you don't adjust to your body's natural slow down by taking in less calories you'll see a slow increase in fat.
The effects of ageing can be offset to a degree by increasing physical activity (both cardiovascular and strength training), reducing fat intake and increasing your complex carbohydrates and fibre intake. The goal is to keep your internal engine going with a consistent exercise program, and giving it high quality fuel.
Aerobic exercise is going to boost your metabolic rate during activity and for a short bonus period of time afterward. A HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout is great for this. HIIT is a training technique where you use one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise. Followed by short, less-intense recovery periods or even complete rest. The focus is on getting your heart rate up and keeping it there which burns fat in less time. And, you'll still be burning fat even after you've stopped training.
The extra calories you burn from a daily exercise routine can add up to substantial fat loss over time. It's easy to think that we are too busy to get the benefits from training however, exercising for as little as 30 minutes, three days a week can help keep your bones strong and slow age related bone loss.
After adding regular cardio, it's time to start strength training which will build muscle mass and increase your daily metabolic rate. Adding both aerobic and strength training exercise to your fitness schedule can help slow down any age related decline in muscle mass and it will keep your BMR burning fuel.
Exercise is only part in an overall healthy lifestyle commitment. Diet plays a massive role in age related body changes. Try to eat a diet that is rich in whole foods and food products that are minimally processed and do not contain artificial ingredients. When it comes to your diet and weight; if you take in more calories than your burning, those calories will be stored as fat, but if you take in less calories than you burn each day you'll lose fat.
It's important that the calories you are getting isn't just from things like pizza and burgers. While it is technically true that you can simply burn the amount of calories through your exercise to offset that food, if you eat more natural ingredients then you'll consume more vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and other important compounds that are functionally important for every cell in your body. You'll also feel more energized, reduce your risk of diseases, improve your fertility, and even improve the health of your hair, skin, and nails, since you're filling the nutritional gaps in your diet.
Try eating small, frequent meals to boost metabolism and avoid storing more calories from each meal and slowing your metabolic rate. And, remember to always eat breakfast, it will increase your metabolic rate by up to 5%.
Make a commitment to your fitness and wellbeing. This is your year to get healthy or to take your training to the next level. Shake off the winter blues because spring is here and it's time to get moving!!

Greetings, Regulator, and welcome. You wrote:Seems I read somewhere that if you made your full contribution to a traditional IRA earlier this year and would now like to set up a Roth IRA, you can w/d that contribution and start a Roth w/o any penalty.My father made his 2K contrib at the beginning of this year, but now thinks the benefits of a Roth as a supplement to his Trad. IRA might serve him better. Can he undo this before the end of 98? Any help would be greatly appreciated! What you read about was a means to undo the conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA by transferring the money in the Roth back into a traditional IRA prior to April 15 of the year following the conversion. The easiest way for your father to set up a Roth IRA now is simply to convert the one he established to a Roth IRA. Regards…..Pixy

November 23, 2012 (CHICAGO) --An American Airlines flight attendant has now been charged with a felony for bringing a loaded gun to O'Hare Airport.
Sheila A. Schultz, 65, was arrested at 9:30 Friday morning when authorities say they found the gun in her bag as she passed through a security checkpoint.
Officials say she told authorities that her husband owns the gun and that they both use the same carryon bag.
Schultz will be in court tomorrow.

When I found out I was expecting my last child, I bought myself the Baby Bjorn of my dreams. It wasn't easy to spend $80 on a baby carrier, but I remember how helpful it'd been the first few months.
I'd had the original navy blue wonder with my second child, and had loved carrying her until she was around 7 months old and it became painfully uncomfortable.
When she grew so big the Baby Bjorn felt like it was splitting my spine in two, we transitioned to the Kelty backpack carrier. A little much for vacuuming, but what can you do. It gave me a few more months, but getting her into the pack was cumbersome and not terribly comfortable for her. She wasn't content for long.
My last two are 13 years apart, and a lot had changed. Someone told me I needed to buy a Moby. I bought black, because most of my clothes are black. My sweet babe was born the first week of July. Consequently, I feel like we were both lucky to come out of the Moby without only a heat rash, and not full blown heat stroke. Getting her in felt like a live origami experiment and I was never completely confident that she wouldn't fall out through a hole in the 18 yards of fabric I was drowning in. Oy.
I found an Ergo at my local consignment store, and figured it was worth $60 if I loved it like some of my friends love theirs. It wasn't bad. She loved it and I liked that I could throw some cash and keys in the pocket and leave the stroller behind. This was the carrier that made our stroller move from the back of the car, to the garage. The straps weren't terribly comfortable, but I could carry her and everything else, simultaneously.
It seemed like I'd found one that worked. I missed her being able to face out, but after everything I'd read, I knew it was bad for her hips- so I was happy to forgo that feature.
Which is when my dear friend loaned me a Tula. I had heard her ramble on about her DISO and WC's and thought she'd lost her mind a little. I love her- crazy or sane- so I agreed to try out her beloved carrier. I was surprised she'd want to loan it out, when she explained she had 6. She was trading her way to the Tula of her dreams, with a market value of $1500. Again, I thought she'd lost her mind.
Nothing fit like the Tula did. My sweet girl was asleep in minutes, and had never fallen asleep in any carrier. It was warm, while breathable- so a light jacket kept us both warm on a brisk fall walk. In a matter of days, I would find my little lady trying to buckle herself in. She asked to be "up" and picking the green beans had never been easier.
I decided I needed one, and hopped online to find a deal.
Ha… I had the misfortune of falling in love with Tula at the same time as everyone else in the free world. Deals were nonexistent in Tula-land. These days they have done a lot to keep up with the demand, and with the recent purchase of Baby Tula by Ergo, hopefully supply will increase without losing quality. Ergos are great, but they are definitely not Tulas.
I decided I'd try to "score". Scoring means being online at precisely 3 PM PST every other Sunday, when Tula releases its highly sought after wrap-conversion Tulas, and managing to purchase one in the 3 split seconds you have before they sell out. These are considerably more expensive, but also increase in value over time. The preview of the Tulas that will be for sale is posted on Friday. I fell in love with a brilliant magenta full wrap conversion, and told my friend I was going to bite the bullet and buy it.
She had a good laugh, and told me she'd been trying to "score" for 8 months, with no luck.
Sunday came around and I'd saved my $330 the carrier cost. I was sick to my stomach spending so much, but this is Tula and common sense is the first to go. My alarm went off and I began following the "scoring" instructions.
Hit refresh, hit refresh, hit refresh… Oh MY GOD… The pictures start to load and I see mine. Blind click, add to cart, submit payment, done.
I scored. I didn't even know what I bought, I just knew I saw pink and said yes.
I don't know where my stroller is. Somewhere collecting dust. We hike, walk, pick beans…and dance in the Tula. As a single mother, I don't know that I could have done it without it. I know I wouldn't have been able to hold her as much, or as often as I have. I know the sleepless nights would have been harder and at nearly 40… I'll take all the help I can get in snuggling her close while she grows at the speed of light.
We own three Tulas now. One for the car, one for home and one to share with other mamas who have no idea what they're missing until they try one on.
Don't even get me started on the http://http://www.tulababycarriers.com/collections/blankets….

The U.N. Security Council has endorsed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for a second five-year term as U.N. chief. The South Korean diplomat faces no other candidates and is likely to sail to reappointment in the U.N. General Assembly next week.
The U.N.'s most powerful organ held closed door consultations on Ban's reappointment Thursday and then endorsed his second term Friday by acclamation in another private meeting. Had any of the five permanent members of the council vetoed recommending Ban's reappointment he would not have been eligible for another term.
After the meeting, the president of the U.N. Security Council for June, Gabonese Ambassador Nelson Messone, read a communiqué from the 15-member council.
"The Security Council, having considered the question of the recommendation for the appointment of the secretary-general of the United Nations, recommends to the General Assembly that Mr. Ban Ki-moon be appointed secretary-general of the United Nations for a second term of office from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016," he said.
Speaking from the capital of Brazil, where he is on a Latin American tour, Ban said he was "deeply honored" by the Security Council's vote.
On Tuesday, the 192-member General Assembly is expected to reconfirm Ban in a resolution also to be adopted by acclamation.
Under the U.N. Charter, the post of secretary-general is rotated regionally and is currently held by Asia.
Ban, now 67, moved from being South Korea's foreign minister to U.N. chief in January 2007. During his tenure he has made climate change, disarmament, gender inequality, and peace and security among his top priorities.
He has been a near-constant traveler, personally extending U.N. and international support to countries in crises from natural disasters to armed conflict.
Ban's critics say he has not been as outspoken as he should be on issues such as human rights and complain that his "quiet diplomacy" has failed in reigning in the world's dictators and despots.

Much has been made of Kenny Dalglish's need to thin out a bloated midfield before the transfer window shuts but one fact of Liverpool's midfield overhaul has been largely overlooked, whisper it – there is no room for Steven Gerrard.
Dalglish's signing of Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing on top of the arrival of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll last winter show that in the new look Liverpool, Gerrard is out of style.
As seen from the end of last season Dalglish will set out a 4-4-2 with Suarez buzzing around Carroll and the role of the midfield will be to retain a good shape behind these two meaning that even when fit Gerrard will not be suited to the team.
The hero of Istanbul has been a guaranteed starter when fit since the 2001 season but age and tactical changes in recent years have exposed at club level the frailties that have always shown while on international duty.
Since the departure of Xabi Alonso and his patient, prudent passing Gerrard has frustrated with a hyperactive, everything and nothing at once style; neither a defensive or attacking force he has roamed aimlessly, misplacing passes and firing long range shots with little return.
This will not wash with Dalglish who needs a solid midfield to get the best out of his formation and new signings.
Never a particularly disciplined player, Gerrard was accommodated as a maverick in Rafa Benitez's otherwise strict formation which worked well for Gerrard and Liverpool while he had the right players around him.
His inspirational role as an all-action hero under Benitez is now Gerrard's undoing, as it stands he is a player without a position.
For each role in the centre of the park Dalglish recognises that the other midfielders at the club are better than Gerrard.
Lucas Leiva was derided as a failure upon his arrival at the club but with over 100 games under his belt in the league he has grown into the custodial ball-winning role in Liverpool's midfield, a role Gerrard was never comfortable with.
Raul Meireles too was seen as a flop within a few games last season but the Portuguese player adapted so well that he was named the PFA's Fan's Player of the Year and even though he was often deployed in an unfamiliar wide position he shone as an attacking threat.
The signings of Adam and Henderson mean that Meireles will likely have to make do with fewer starts this season but it also puts Gerrard to the back of the queue of potential attacking options.
Having long lacked any width Stewart Downing will be a breathe of fresh air for the Anfield faithful if he can rise to the occasion, in any case he has a simple task of supplying Carroll with crosses, on the right-side Daglish will likely opt for Dirk Kuyt or Maxi Rodriguez.
Meireles may too be an option out wide though he failed to impress in that position under Roy Hodgson but hey, didn't they all.
Kuyt who, often has been held up as a figure of ridicule, is unsurpassed in his tenacity and eagerness in both defensive and attacking play which may make him indispensable for Dalglish as he attempts to get the best out of his attacking central mids Adam, Meireles and Henderson.
Rodriguez grabbed headlines at the end of the season with a brace of hat tricks but other than that he had a quiet season and though not past it just yet he is unlikely to be relied upon.
With more than a dozen midfielders current on the books Dalglish will be working frantically to move on Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen and Alberto Aquilani before the transfer window closes while Johnjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing are likely to go out on loan.
But when Sunderland arrive at Anfield in two weeks time there may be another more familiar face who finds that he too has no place in the second Dalglish era.

2010 Hyundai Accent - Click above for high-res image gallery
The big news for Hyundai's updated 2010 Accent is fuel efficiency. The Korean automaker has managed to improve average miles per gallon by four percent in the city and three percent on the highway by means of low-friction engine internals, aero improvements, low-resistance tires and a so-called "smart" alternator system.
Interestingly, the least expensive Accent for 2010 is the new Blue model, which will start at $9,970 (plus destination) and will be aided by revised transmission gearing and a lowered ride height to manage a combined 31 miles per gallon. Also new on some models is an iPod USB port that both charges the music player and allows for its control through the equally new steering wheel audio controls.
Power for the Accent comes from a 1.6-liter four cylinder engine that features continuously variable valve timing and manages 110 horsepower and 106 lb-ft of torque. Transmission choices include a standard five-speed manual (which is rowed with a B&M shifter on SE models) or an optional four-speed automatic. Manual models will get an EcoShift light while autos receive a green ECO light to indicate when the driver is achieving optimal fuel efficiency.
Price? As previously mentioned, the entry-level Blue model can be had for under $10K – making it the cheapest new car available in the United States – while the least expensive version with an automatic transmission goes for $12,995. Top-of-the-line SE three-doors start at $16,995. Add an extra $720 for shipping, regardless of trim. Click past the break for the complete press release.

Hyundai Announces 2010 Accent Lineup and Blue Edition Pricing
Accent Still the Lowest Priced Car in America
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- How did Hyundai improve Accent's EPA fuel economy for 2010 without adding thousands of dollars to the price like a hybrid does? The answer is the introduction of the high mileage, low price "Blue" edition and smart engineering to all Accent models. Accent's fuel efficiency is improved by up to nine percent, reaching as high as 36 miles per gallon on the highway which is better than Honda Fit and Nissan Versa.

All 2010 Accents receive lower friction engine components, aerodynamic improvements, lower-rolling-resistance silica tires, a "smart" alternator management system and other enhancements all aimed at reducing fuel consumption. The Accent Blue receives the same treatment plus revised transmission gear ratios and lowered ride height to achieve even greater fuel efficiency. The Blue edition is the lowest priced Accent, starting at $9,970. Accent Blue delivers up to 36 miles per gallon and the highest combined fuel economy of 31 miles per gallon in its lineup, achieving one of the highest mpg-per-dollar ratios in the industry. This new high mileage Accent will be identified with unique "Blue" badging.

To help Accent drivers get the most out of their cars Hyundai has added an economy indicator. The "eco indicator" on automatic transmission models is a green ECO light to indicate when the driver is achieving good fuel economy. Manual transmission models have an EcoShift indicator to inform drivers of the optimal time to shift.
-- High mileage, low price "Blue" edition
-- "Blue" edition available with air conditioning
-- New and improved EPA fuel economy for all other models
-- Standard iPod®/USB ports added to auxiliary input on all audio-
equipped models
-- Standard steering wheel audio controls on Accent SE, optional on
Accent GLS
-- Standard blue backlit gauges on all models
-- ABS is now available on Accent GS
-- Standard cruise control and sunroof on Accent SE
Steering wheel audio controls, blue back-lit gauges and an iPod/USB jack also make debuts on Accent. Now when an iPod is connected to the iPod/USB port, located in the front storage area, not only does it play music through the vehicle's six-speaker audio system, but also charges the iPod. The iPod/USB input also allows the driver to access tracks with the new steering wheel audio controls. This new system also enables both driver and passengers to easily view song/artist/title information and control the music from the audio head unit rather than from the iPod itself.
ACCENT "BLUE" Three-door - the perfect entry-level car
This year, Hyundai introduces a high mileage "Blue" edition of its Accent. When shoppers see the "Blue" badge it means the model delivers outstanding fuel economy without adding thousands of dollars to the price. In fact, the "Blue" model will be priced lower than any other Accent model, assuring it will be both efficient and economical. Hyundai is focused on achieving an excellent mpg-per-dollar ratio with its "Blue" models. Fuel-efficient modifications include low friction engine components, lower-rolling-resistance silica tires, an optimized thermostat, a "smart" alternator management system, improvements to the underbody airflow management, revised transmission gear ratios and lowered ride height.
Key standard equipment includes a five-speed manual transmission with EcoShift indicator, sport-tuned power assisted rack-and-pinion steering, dual front, side and head curtain airbags, variable intermittent windshield wipers, six-way adjustable driver seat with armrest, 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, rear spoiler and rear window defroster. Accent builds on Hyundai's reputation for offering loads of standard equipment by also adding adjustable head restraints for all seating positions, cabin air filtration, tachometer, digital clock, two 12-volt outlets and remote hood release.
Accent GS
In keeping with Hyundai's high-value approach to standard equipment, the Accent GS offers standard automatic transmission, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, maplights, rear wiper, and bodycolor mirrors and door handles. Convenient storage areas are placed throughout the interior, including the front center console, driver storage tray and a rear storage tray. Two cupholders are ideally situated between the driver and passenger for easy reach. A 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback makes it easy to load large objects, or to mix cargo and passengers for maximum effectiveness. The roof-mounted micro antenna is aerodynamic, flexible and improves signal strength.
The GS Premium Package includes a 172-watt AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio system with 6 speakers and iPod/USB inputs, power windows with driver's window auto-down feature, power mirrors and door locks and remote keyless entry with alarm and panic alert. And for the first time, ABS is available on the GS as part of the Premium Package.
Accent SE - entry-level PERFORMANCE
The sport-oriented Accent SE takes value in an exciting new, fun-to-drive direction with the addition of the B&M Racing sport shifter. To complete the driving experience, the Accent SE features a sport-tuned suspension with unique springs, strut valving, stabilizer bar and steering gear - delivering in total a 70 percent increase in roll stiffness over the GS. Accent SE also features air conditioning, power sunroof, cruise control, a 172-watt AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 audio system with six speakers and auxiliary iPod/USB inputs, steering wheel audio controls, power windows with driver's window auto-down feature, illuminated vanity mirrors, power door locks, remote keyless entry with alarm and panic alert and power-adjustable exterior mirrors. On the outside, the 16-inch alloy wheels and P205/45R16 tires deliver enhanced road-holding capability, and fog lights keep the driver's path illuminated in adverse weather. The SE trim is equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and metallic interior accents. Additional storage is available with a front passenger seatback pocket and front door bottle holders.
To simplify the buying process, the four-door Accent sedan comes in a single GLS trim level with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. GLS trim offers a wide range of features, including several items that are either optional or unavailable on competitive vehicles such as a powerful 110-horsepower 1.6-liter CVVT engine, power steering, rear coat hook, 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, AM/FM/XM /CD/MP3 audio system with auxiliary iPod/USB inputs, driver and passenger illuminated vanity mirrors and standard air conditioning. There are a total of six airbags, including dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof mounted side-curtain airbags. Carpeted floor mats are optional. The GLS Premium Package includes ABS with EBD, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, mirrors, door locks, steering wheel audio controls and remote keyless entry with alarm and panic alert.
The 2010 Hyundai Accent is protected by the Hyundai Advantage, America's Best Warranty. Coverage includes five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper protection, 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and seven-year/unlimited mileage anti-perforation coverage. In addition, Accent buyers receive 24-hour roadside assistance coverage at no extra charge for five years (no mileage limit) and that service includes emergency towing, lockout service and limited coverage for trip-interruption expenses. There is no deductible on any of these coverages.
Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co. of Korea. Hyundai vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through more than 790 dealerships nationwide.

The Dr. Susan S. McKinney Secondary School for the Arts, built in 1956, serves grades 6 through 12, including SE. The school specializes in developing arts education through music, dance, theater, painting, sculpture, graphics and photography, along with the required school curriculum.
HAKS designed a multi-media library and MAC computer tech lab to showcase what could be achieved in these school spaces by developing a "prototype" for future projects. The design included the interiors, including furniture, finishes, wood casework, specialty lighting, color schemes and, most importantly, selected artwork to enhance its focus as an Arts School Library.
The 2,565-square-foot library includes the typical circulation desk, bookcases, librarian office, study areas and student research areas but also incorporates a flexible MAC laptop area for teaching computer graphics and a MAC Computer Tech Room for personal practice time. The design is based upon a classic center hall library with the circulation desk anchoring one end and establishing a point of visual control with the flexible MAC classroom spaces at the other. Built-in wood bookcases along the perimeter walls and free-standing half-height wood bookcases in the center of the elongated space create nodes for group or independent study. The library is enhanced by wood paneling along the column lines to create rhythm and a sense of scale for each defined area. HAKS selected a mix of modern and classical sculptures, paintings, drawings, tapestries, photography and pottery to enhance the overall look of the room and to inspire students pursuing careers in the arts. As the program flourishes, it is the intent to add student art work to the base collection on a permanent and rotating basis.

Goodness gracious. It seems like everyone already has their own groups of friends. I remember going out with friends to bars where everyone else was also out with their friends, and nobody was talking to anyone else.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? If not online dating, where can we meet someone special?
The Gym
I mean, there's the gym, sure. But have you ever hit on anyone at the gym without it being awkward? "Oh, hey, how much can you bench press?" In fact, the only time anyone has ever even talked to me at the gym it was because he was a personal trainer and I was doing something very wrong.
Then I switched to yoga, which is not a place to meet men.
A lot of couples I know have met their special someone at work. That makes sense, there's at least a little common ground. You have something to say to each other right off the bat! And if it's not a fun working environment, that's actually even better. Commiserating over happy hour leads to talking about life, then leads to a date, maybe.
But what if you work in an office of five? Where everyone except you is married? That was me. That was my story.
Daily Activities
Perhaps the coffee shop? Or the bar? Or even the grocery store? What things do you do on a daily basis that would have you running into people you'd like to meet?
Those weren't viable options for me. I live a quiet, frugal life, and I didn't want to change that. At all. I could hardly be bothered to spend $20 in the hopes that doing so would have me bump into the man of my dreams.
Get Outside
Go for a walk. Go for a jog. Ride your bicycle. Explore. You're definitely not going to meet anyone in your pajamas at home (except on the internet!) so you should get yourself out in public where you can be seen.
However, sometimes this isn't possible. And it's certainly not easy. I'm an extrovert, but sometimes it's hard to leave the comfort and coziness of my own home to get outside. Plus, if your mentality is "okay, I'll go for a walk and hopefully I will meet someone" you give off the vibe of desperation. And neediness. And you'll come home feeling winded, let down, and exhausted.
Where else?
We live in such an odd time of history. In order to meet a neighbor for a cup of coffee, I can't just go to the coffee shop. I have to go home, and start marketing myself as someone who would be a good companion for a cup of coffee.
So, I headed online. Have you tried online dating? What were your experiences?

Offensive to BuddhistsAfter reading Paul Gray in The Oz yesterday, I've decided to have a crack at writing a piece that is guaranteed to be inoffensive to the faith of John Howard's mainstream Australians and equally inoffensive to the non-mainstream minority religions that have everybody in a lather over national security - like those baby-killing Seventh Day Adventists. Just to see if it can be done. Here we go:
Wan-to went to his master one day and asked "Master, how can I achieve enlightenment."
The master stroked his beard while he thought. "You must go up to the mountain and meditate upon this question: how many monks does it take to change a light bulb? When you have the answer come back and tell me, and I will tell you if you have achieved enlightnement."
Wan-to went up to the mountain to meditate on the question. He sat for a long time in the lotus position thinking deeply on how many monks it takes to change a light bulb. So great was his concentration that a pair of swallows built their nest of mud in his left armpit.
Time passed; the swallows raised their chicks and flew away. Wan-to returned to the monastery to see his master.
"Have you the answer to my question?" asked the master.
"Two thousand and one." replied Wan-to. "One to hold the bulb and two thousand to turn the monastery around."
"Foolish monk." said the master and struck Wan-to on the forehead with a bamboo stave. "Return to the mountain and meditate on the question again."
Wan-to returned to the mountain; the swallows returned and build a new nest under his left armpit. Wan-to felt sorrow that the work they had put into building the old nest had been wasted.
Time passed; the swallows raised another brood of chicks and flew away. Once again Wan-to returned to the monastery.
"And what is your answer this time, Wan-to?" asked the master.
"One." replied Wan-to "One to change the bulb, one not to think of the white horse and one to make the sound of one hand clapping."
"Foolish monk." said the master, "That is three monks."
Before the master could take up his bamboo stave, Wanto seized it and struck the master on the forehead.
"Foolish master." said Wan-to. "Go up to the mountain and meditate on this question: why is the Buddha like a bicycle clip?"
Through the many years of his life, Wan-to was known as a monk of great wisdom and enlightenment.

Special equipment: a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip, an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Sift the cocoa powder and flour together at least 3 times. Set aside. Place the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Bring this mixture just to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add the sifted cocoa and flour in all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball. Return the pan to medium-high heat and beat constantly until a film develops on the bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes. Do not let it burn.
Transfer the dough to the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the side of the bowl and continue to beat the dough for 4 minutes at high speed. Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pipe 3 to 4-inch log shapes onto the paper. Bake for 10 minutes; then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for another 15 minutes. Turn the oven off. Remove the eclairs from the oven and poke a hole in each one using a skewer or piping nail. Place the eclairs back in the oven and leave the door ajar for 10 minutes, allowing the eclairs to dry.
Cut the eclairs in 1/2 lengthwise with a serrated knife. Place the bottom halves of the eclairs on a sheet pan and put 3 marshmallows into each. Place under the broiler until golden, watching closely. Remove from oven. Place tops on and ladle the chocolate sauce over top.
Place the chocolate in a stainless-steel bowl. Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan over medium-high heat and heat the cream until just before the boiling point. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
