A Sunshine-Inspired, Summer Wedding at Stonebridge Country Club in Smithtown, New York
"I wanted to make everyone smile," Caly Meyers (28 and an HR and volunteer manager) says of planning a joyous, sunshine-themed summer wedding to Jay Mixa (33 and a web developer). Yellow blooms and cheery striped table linens marked the day. Ceremony programs simply stated "you are my happy," and Caly walked down the aisle to "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. "I've always loved daisies and wildflowers," Caly says of her compact bouquet. "They remind me of summer days spent at our lake house." Aquatic details like tropical fish cake toppers and hand-doodled table numbers created by the couple's nieces and nephews were a nod to the pair's saltwater aquarium and added another element of fun. "Our style is sunny, bright and happy," Caly says. "I wanted to create a space where guests could kick back, connect and smile."

The history books let us know that when it opened in 1870, Denver's Union Station was regarded as the gateway to the West and trains were considered "the only respectable way to travel from city to city or across the Great Plains."
Time takes its toll, though, and the grand terminal was getting a little raggedy around the edges before the Denver City Council created the Denver Union Station Project Authority and work began on the largest transportation redevelopment project in North America: A $500 million undertaking that will not only restore Union Station's faded glory but develop the surrounding area into an urban masterpiece with six pedestrian plazas, shops, restaurants, water features, public art and more. Phased openings are to begin in 2013.
Union Station, then, may have seemed like an unlikely venue for one of the most glamorous and trendy events in town, the Museum of Contemporary Art's Luminocity Gala. But one person's "oh, I don't think so" is another's "we are going to blow everyone's socks off!"
And "wow!" it was on Oct. 27 when museum director Adam Lerner and event chair Bart Spaulding stood proudly by as a capacity crowd entered through a registration tent and filed into the main terminal, down a walkway defined by shimmering Mylar streamers, to the stairs that would lead them to the second-floor overlook where cocktails were served and a silent auction conducted before everyone went back downstairs for a seated dinner.
That it would be a sparkling affair was established with the embossed-silver invitations designed by Ellen Bruss, who, with her husband, Mark Falcone, donated the land on which MCA/Denver sits. Falcone, president of the MCA board, also is the founder and chief executive officer of Continuum Partners, the master developer, with East West Partners, of the new construction at Union Station.
Bruss also worked with the Perfect Petal to transform the main terminal, with its rows of high-backed benches, into a glittering, yet softly-lit, space that was intimate and inviting. Dinner tables, where guests enjoyed orange and beet carpaccio salads, followed by beef tenderloin and twice-baked baby potatoes from Three Tomatoes Catering, were covered with sheets of Mylar, candles and flowers.
A tradition at this event is the tequila toast that is offered just as the live auction begins. Tequila Corrido provided the samples this year; director Yuri Kato of the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based True Blue Imports was there to get a read on how everyone liked it.
The party favors were the dessert: bags filled with lemon, chocolate, vanilla and pistachio macarons that guests received as they waited for the valets to fetch their cars.
Author Helen Thorpe is a member of the MCA board and got more than a few double-takes from those who weren't quite sure if that was indeed her underneat that silver wig. Thorpe and her husband, Gov. John Hickenlooper, were honorary chairmen of the fundraiser with Mayor Michael Hancock and his wife, vocalist Mary Louise Lee.
Bruss and Falcone also were members of the host committee, along with a group that included Three Tomatoes co-owner Joanne Katz and her husband, Ron; District Attorney Mitch Morrissey and his wife, Maggie; Jean and Douglas Smooke; Tina Walls; Vince Abrue; Amber and Michael Fries; Ellie Caulkins; Lu and Dr. Chris Law; and MCA founder Sue Cannon.
In a neat coincidence, MCA trustee Philae Dominick, also a host committee member, was attending a museum gala on the same day that her daughter, Philae Knight, had her picture in the New York Times for having been a guest at the opening of Carsten Holler's funhouse exhibition at the New Museum in NYC.
Carol and Dr. Rick Abrams were there to support their son and daughter-in-law, Brian and Nora Burnett Abrams; Nora is the associate curator at the MCA. Board member Dean Prina put together a table that included fellow board member Mark Tompkins; Denver Scholarship Foundation director Cindy Abramson and her husband, John; Caz Matthews; Catherine Goodwillie and Blue Bonnet restaurant owner Gary Mobell.
Others helping to raise money for museum exhibitions and programs were David and Laura Merage; Mark Sink; Martha Records and Rich Rainaldi; Nancy Petry; Mary Caulkins and Karl Kister; Bryanna King; Brooke and Tom Gordon; Colleen and Javier Baz; Ann Butler and Don Greco; Carolyne Hyde; Daniel Lincoln and Mark Watts; Dr. Tom Gargan; Mike and Julie Mills; Rollie Jordan; Susan and Jeremy Shamos; Karen and Ian Wolfe; and auctioneer Gary Corbett.

Car Pooling with the Help of Google Maps
LaRoueVerte (the Green Wheel) is a French car pooling service that uses Google Maps to help users easily find or offer a car pool ride.
To find the nearest drivers willing to share a car journey the user simply needs to enter their starting point and destination. The route is then displayed on Google Maps and markers show all the nearest car pooling offers for the journey.
The details of the car pool offers are also displayed in the map sidebar with a handy meter guide to how closely the owner's journey matches the searched request.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of drugstore-chain Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD) were getting high off their own supply, climbing as much as 10% on improved same-store sales in January.
So what: Any sign of life is good news for the debt-laden retailer, apparently. Comparable sales grew by just 0.3%, but that was enough to spark the bull rush. You might think Rite Aid benefited from this winter's especially bad flu season, but even as flu shots and related prescriptions increased, pharmacy revenue still fell 1.4%. Comparable sales from the rest of store gained 4.2%, benefiting, in part, from over-the-counter flu-related sales. Overall revenue declined by less than 1%, as the company continues to close stores.
Now what: Rite Aid is going to need more than a 0.3% increase in same-store sales to get back to profitability. The company has nearly $6 billion in long-term debt, and continues to lose money. It's hard to see how the company will get back to financial health without selling a significant amount of real estate to pay off its debt. It racks up over $500 million in interest expenses a year, enough to kill any operating profit. Investors can hope for a buyout from one of its more-prosperous rivals, like Walgreen's or CVS, but that seems unlikely with Rite Aid's debt load. I'm keeping my distance.

GOP senator: 'I'm not gay' when asked about marriage
Public opinion polls tell us that there's growing support for same-sex marriage. GOP Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio is one such example, creating a stir when he said last week that he now endorses such unions.
Changing attitudes, however, are not sweeping Congress. Consider this from Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.:
"I'm not gay. So I'm not going to marry one," Chambliss told Politico, when asked if his views had changed on same-sex marriage.
Portman explained he changed his mind on same-sex marriage after his son, Will, came out in 2011. "It's a change of heart from the position of a father," Portman said.
That view is highlighted in a new Pew Research Center poll, which says 28% of gay marriage supporters previously did not.The supporters who once were opponents often say their attitudes shifted because they know someone who is gay. Rising support from people born since 1980 also contributes to the increased support for same-sex marriage.
The Politicostory in which Chambliss is quoted notes lawmakers in Congress are "changing their legislative tactics and toning down their public rhetoric — rather than undergoing a sea change in their stances."
Gay marriage is in the news a lot these days because the Supreme Court takes up the hot-button topic next week. More than 80 prominent Republicans signed onto a legal brief to the high court that says same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. Only two of them — Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Richard Hanna of New York — are sitting members of Congress.
Chambliss is not seeking re-election in 2014.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Classes are starting Thursday at a repurposed school for students who survived a shooting rampage three weeks ago in Newtown, Conn.
Desks have been taken to the new building in nearby Monroe along with backpacks and other belongings left behind in the chaos following the Dec. 14 shooting.
Families have been coming in to see the new school, and an open house is scheduled for Wednesday.
David Connors is the father of 8-year-old triplets who escaped unharmed. He says his children have suffered nightmares and jumped at noises.
Experts say it's important for children to get back to a routine and for teachers and parents to offer sensitive reassurances.

Here are a few more of the pigments I bought ageesss ago. I had no idea I owned so many!
I don't use pigments all the time – too messy but I love how pigmented they are. I always use some kind of wet or sticky base with pigments otherwise they wear of quite quickly with my oily lids.
Love the name Mermen! This is a lush bright emerald green.
This is a dark blue-green petrol type shade with a shimmer.
My favourite dragon? Spiro.
Next is London:
This is a really bright matte blue.
Finally Farerie Glamour:
A deep purple infused with turquoise blue flecks. When swatched the turquoise-denim blue shows up more than the dark purple!
I like Mermen the most, but Faerie Glamour is rather special. London is cool too especially as a liner.

MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade started this Miami Heat postseason push a year ago.
Not with The Decision.
He made The Promise.
When the Heat were bounced in the first round of the 2010 playoffs, Wade raised an eyebrow for emphasis and said, "This will be my last first-round exit for a while."
You know the rest. The roster was revamped. LeBron James and Chris Bosh arrived. The Heat won 58 games, all seeming meaningless since this season will be solely judged by playoff results, the first of those coming Saturday when the Philadelphia 76ers visit for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
"I'm always thinking about that," Wade said Friday when asked to recall his mindset when delivering those words. "I meant it."
Motivation is not scarce around the Heat, with James still looking for his first championship, a slew of veterans with 10-plus seasons of experience seeking their first rings, and six months of jabs from doubters serving as fuel. Topping it off, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra dusted off the 2006 NBA championship trophy at a team meeting Thursday night.
"Inspiration and motivation," James said. "Two words that describe it for me."
Philadelphia coach Doug Collins understands. His team - 150-1 underdogs at some sports books in this series - is acutely aware that Miami has spent the last 82 games thinking about this moment, the start of a run that the Heat hope ends with them hoisting a trophy of their own.
"When those three guys got together last summer, Saturday is what they were shooting for," Collins said. "They did get through the regular season, but they're pinning their hopes on starting Saturday, that they can make a championship run."
Miami swept the season series 3-0, with the winning margins between 9-12 points.
The teams last played on March 25, a game in Miami where the 76ers led by as many as 16 in the first half and took a 82-77 lead into the fourth. Wade took over from there, outscoring Philadelphia 18-17 over the final 12 minutes and leading the Heat to a 111-99 victory.
Wade averaged 30.7 points on 52 percent shooting against the 76ers this season, with James averaging 22.7 points and Bosh 17.7 points.
"The whole team is good. They don't have that record because of just three guys," Philadelphia forward Thaddeus Young said. "This is really what they're playing for is the playoffs, but we expect to be ready to try and stop them."
Miami got another boost at practice Friday, when power forward Udonis Haslem went through the workout. Haslem hasn't played since November because of a ruptured foot ligament, and the team is still being cautious about his potential postseason availability.

Almost four years after he played his last NBA game, Allen Iverson made his retirement official with the Philadelphia 76ers, the team he led to the finals and with which he won an MVP.
The Sixers held a news conference at the Wells Fargo Center.
Iverson said his greatest moment in the NBA was the moment he was drafted.
He thanked Michael Jordan for "showing me the way," along with his high school coach, his college coach and Sixers coach Larry Brown.
"Most importantly, I want to thank my kids," Iverson said. "You know, in this profession, you have no idea how hard it is to live up to expectations and trying to be a perfect man, when you know you're not. . .It's just a hard life to live. It's a great one and I wouldn't trade it for nothing." Iverson said there are a lot of things he's not proud of but that he wouldn't change anything about his up and down career.
"My whole thing was just being me."
Iverson said he took a beating for his style, but that the tattoos and corn rows are emulated now by everyone from professional athletes to police officers.
"I have no regrets. Not one," Iverson said.
NBC10's John Clark will talk one-on-one with Iverson this afternoon on NBC10 News, starting at 4 p.m.

Department of Revenue News Release
January 15, 2013Revenue Warns of Property Tax Credit Fraud & Scams
JEFFERSON CITY -- The Missouri Department of Revenue is cautioning all seniors and disabled Missourians to be aware of possible scams involving the filing of a Property Tax Credit (PTC) claim.
Scams involving the PTC, formerly known as the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit, frequently target seniors and the disabled. Scam artists often pose as trustworthy helpers and can be friends, family members, or caregivers. Listed below are some tips and reminders to help citizens protect themselves from potential fraud.
1) Filing a PTC claim requires personal information, and it is critical that filers know that their tax return preparer is someone they can trust.
2) If not using a professional tax return preparer, filers need to use trusted sources of assistance when filling out claims. Well-established assistance providers include the local Area Agency on Aging, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, Missouri Department of Revenue Tax Assistance Centers, AARP, a local senior center, or other providers of community services to older adults or people with disabilities.
3) If someone asks for information to help you with a benefits application, make sure they can explain why that information is needed and how it will be used once the application has been completed.
4) The State of Missouri never charges filers a fee to apply for a PTC.
5) Neither Medicare nor Medicaid information is required to complete a PTC.
6) Be wary of people coming to your home with offers involving the PTC that seem too good to be true.
The Missouri PTC is a credit for certain senior citizens and 100 percent disabled individuals for a portion of the real estate taxes or rent they paid during the previous year. The credit is for a maximum of $750 for renters and $1,100 for owners who owned and occupied their home. The actual credit is based on the amount of real estate taxes or rent paid and total household income. Renters who rent from facilities that do not pay property taxes are not eligible for a PTC.
If you are a victim of or have information about tax crimes, please contact the Department of Revenue's Criminal Tax Investigation Bureau Jefferson City office at (573) 751-4689 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Missouri Department of Revenue is now on Twitter! To follow the Department on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/MoRevenue.

Our annual list of late night television's best performances has quickly become an annual exercise in big-upping Jimmy Fallon's music talent booker. Way to go, person responsible for pointing those Studio 6B HD-cameras at our tag cloud: Bang the Fallon gong (btw, there should be a Fallon gong), a full 70% of this list comes from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon's 2011 archives. [And while we're blanket congratulating Fallon and his staff, please join us in a hat tip to the Roots for making the list's Top Two performances Top Two-ier.]
This list is ranked according to a scientific formula which is objectively true and impossible to argue against, which will probably frustrate people who want to disagree with it. Sorry! I'll let you in on two critical factors in my analysis: There is a heavy premium placed on performances being meaningful, and/or memorable. Accordingly, this list has love for a beloved, reunited post-hardcore outfit; a present day siren covering a song from the past; a present day siren (very) lost in the dance; a present day siren flaunting her ability to count backwards/fertile womb; breakout moments for rap outfits; and a fucking sax solo. If somehow you still disagree with SCIENCE then you are in fact welcome to let us know how you would have run things. We can hash it out together, like a family that has very strong opinions about late night TV performances.
Now then, to the fun: let's watch these 10 videos together and remember the year that was:
10 The Dismemberment Plan – "The City" (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 1/20/11
Earlier this year, Travis Morrison reclaimed his legacy and sped up the heart rates of fans of his seminal, brainy post-hardcore outfit by embarking on a hailed reunion tour. The Dismemberment Plan kicked all of that off at Late Night with a precise take on Emergency And I's "The City," for the benefit of a studio audience that included noted '90s-heads Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen. This clip was great, and it's sad that we can't track down a working embed for it. If you have one, please post and we'll add it. (And for all the Fallon back-patting, maybe someone over there could re-up it? For history?) UPDATE: Still no "The City" but thanks Fallon music supervisor Jonathan Cohen for sending over the band's web-exclusive performance from that night, "What Do You Want Me To Say?," instead.
09 Girls – "Honey Bunny" (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 9/14/11
Breakout Children of God product Chris Owens brought his heartworn vagabond singer-songwriter swagger to Fallon, with JR and the same soulful background singers that highlighted Girls' shows in major markets this fall. It worked! "Honey Bunny" is the most unabashedly optimistic track in his band's sterling oeuvre, and it came at just the right time for Chris to breathe some ease into those lost teenage souls out there tuning in to TV in hopes for some direction. They exist; I remember being one of them. If I was a teen and this beamed into my living room I would have bought this record the next day. (This statement endorsed by the entire Stereogum editorial staff.)
It's rare that you'll find a supergroup of '90s-era heroes like this pull together and mint a project with quite so much vital spirit, but then, it's rare that you'll find a supergroup of '90s-era heroes like this in the first place. Thanks to David Letterman for giving Carrie Brownstein a stage to high-kick and continue her considerable life-winning-streak, and let us pause to acknowledge that at the tail end of this performance Paul Shaffer calls Wild Flag is his new favorite band. He is a man of taste.
07 St. Vincent – "She Is Beyond Good And Evil" (The Pop Group Cover) (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 11/7/11
Annie could feasibly have made this list on the back of her performance of Strange Mercy's single "Cruel" on Letterman a few months earlier, but also, nah. Not after she did this to the Pop Group's "She Is Beyond Good And Evil." It is a ferocious performance, and one that mirrors the live-wire electricity she pumped into her similarly killer take on Big Black's "Kerosene" at Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life tribute show at Bowery. You are welcome to watch her strangle her guitar while working some fierce heels below:
It's weird that 30 Rock's Studio 6B can sound so great, and that the soundstage just two floors up can be notoriously crap, but there you have it: SNL rarely turns out music performances with good mixes, which is a titanic bummer given what an obvious and estimable mark of distinction it is to play it. Robyn, for her part, was always well calibrated to overcome 8B's audio minefield by doing what Robyn does: dance like an inspired '80s FM-pop maniac would dance, at home alone getting ready in her mirror — just more inspired and, you know, better. She's Ducky gone h.a.m. It doesn't hurt that these singles are jams, nor that she is singing here to backing tracks. And on that note: Backing track detractors (backing detractors, as I will call them from now on) please relax: If you've seen Robyn live or know her work, her ability to sing these parts unaccompanied and live is not in question; choosing to lean on some audio supplements in order to hump the ground and dance like Taran was, for all intents and purposes, just a very solid decision.
05 Das Racist – "Michael Jackson (Conan) – 11/28/11
I wasn't near a television when this aired, so I searched "Das Racist" on Twitter just to make sure the guys did their thing. The online chatter — a general sense of confusion, anger, disbelief, with a smattering of heavy praise from the likely corners — told me that whatever it was DR did with their Relax track "Michael Jackson," this national TV debut was decidedly "their thing." And then I saw it. Confused. And then I saw it again. And decided it was one of the greatest late night things imaginable. Think about what is going on here: Himanshu literally spins his way through his first verse while censoring himself; Kool AD mans an MPC, a wig, a keyboard (which he plays with his now-wigless head) and a drum kit (he's wilding but he can really drum); Dapwell mans a podium bellowing like a dictatorial don, and doubles Heems and Vic's raps pitched down a level. Tearist splashes a cymbal, Patrick from Chairlift plays a drum also. There's instrument switching, a Nirvana shirt, and a Michael Jackson impersonator. If this cut-and-paste pop-cultural collage doesn't add up for you, that is fine, but make no mistake it is quintessentially Das Racist: it's rap-based performance art, stringing together cross-cultural signifiers like a garland roped around the specific and singular space in which DR exists. They didn't play it straight, but did you really want them to?
04 Neon Indian – "Polish Girl" (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 9/14/11
Jimmy Fallon's geek-out for Neon Indian on their first visit last year was fairly massive, and somehow Neon Indian's 2011 stop at LNWJF inspired an even more effusive intro from the host. And all of this was before the performance had even started. And, great as the Alan Palomo Project was in 2010, this take on Era Extraña's "Polish Girl," buttressed by spectacular video-screen artwork funded by Vice's plushly hep Creator's Project, was a sizable step up. Palomo, Leanne Macomber, and drummer Jason Faries sparkle on camera, which is a remarkable oddity given the depths of nerdiness they and their cohorts plumb to infuse this pop music with such wonked-out synth smarts. You don't usually find music geeks quite so telegenic, and yet, here we are. Neon Indian. This was great. Watch:
Bey's 10-step ode to pleasing her man is one of those consensus picks on lists of 2011's best singles. Add in the fact that she is one of the consensus picks for history's greatest performers, and that she is backed up here by the most fabulous Roots crew, and that she is singing about trying to make a 3 from the 2 while actually being pregnant on the somewhat sly, and you have the most mathematically certain 2011 late night performance list-topper of the bunch. Whatever Lady Jay's prenatal state required she hold back in dance moves, she repaid 10 times over with buckets of Baby Bey-glow. She's a queen, and this moment, and performance, is ruling.
02 M83 – "Midnight City" (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 11/21/11
Given that the soaring synth-pop epic "Midnight City" won this year's Gummy Award as your favorite track of 2011, you are statistically predisposed to enjoying the shit out of this. And M83, for their part, do everything right to ensure that enjoyment: Visually, they cut fittingly slick and romantic figures in tight-fit black tops, shrouded in myriad electronic gadgets and keyboards and a general sense of sexual French je ne sais quoi. Performance-wise they own all of the aforementioned with a dialed-in and passionate take, which was already great, and then at 3:30 a sax dude strolls into frame and casually slakes the thirst for sax you didn't know you had until that moment. The man is a hero, and helps sling the thing into the stratosphere. And even with all of that naturally occurring greatness, the deck also seemed a little stacked from a production standpoint: the Fallon camera crew seems extra-on-point here. Those camera angles? That rack focus? All killing. Also noteworthy: Anthony Gonzalez hands-behind-head hip moves, and the fact that a fan in the bleachers appears to be pumping the air with their walking stick at around 2:05. All appropriate moves.
01 Odd Future – "Sandwiches" (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) – 2/16/11
This may well be one of the very few lists that Odd Future actually tops on the internet this year. That's a fact that would have been much more surprising six months ago than it is today, with the tainted hindsight of Goblin being just alright, and the trenchant controversy over OFWGKTA's lyrical themes and fan treatment having seeped its way into the critical firmament. But this list isn't about any of that. From the sheer perspective of late night TV performances, on a list which prizes memorability foremost, what other late night TV performance even came close? The buzz-pump was primed, Tyler was offered his moment, and he slaughtered it on the altar of his telegenic, kinetic, nihilistic shtick. Even from home, on a TV screen or an internet embed, you could feel the air tighten in that studio, and knew in an instant that the next morning, hip hop — and probably a big chunk of the rest of the internet — would have a shifted center of gravity. Mos Def swagger-jacking and screaming 2011's most overused slang with Tyler on Fallon's back was a .gif-sized coronation. The Roots played their parts as hooded accompanists, and there was a zombie. Also, significantly creepy use of gnome. It was scary, and fun, and it was the most punk thing to happen on late night TV in '11, and it's here at #1.
Well, there's 10. Good job, TV in '11. See you in '12. And then the world will end. Bye!

About MYRTICE :
I had a real fuckbuddy and he was soooooo fucking good in bed OMG you wont believe it!!!"
Here are some do's and don'ts to help you make sure you're having a good time, staying safe and being a good fuck buddy:
DON'T: Don't text her at all hours of the evening. Just because she is having casual sex with you doesn't mean you should be bugging her all the time. She might be married...
DO: Always use a condom and make sure to get tested for STD's regularly. Also, look out for cold sores and don't have casual sex with women who look like they may have had a lot of unprotected sex.
DON'T: Don't stay too long. You're there for casual sex and not a relationship. Remember, she might have just fucked you, but her husband or boyfriend could be coming home any minute.
DON'T: Don't cuddle after sex. Remember you are trying to keep this a no string attached night. You're there for sex, and once you are done you should not be giving her the wrong impression.
DO: Keep repeating to yourself before, during and after sex, that this is just about sex and not love. That good feeling you are getting while she is riding you or giving you a blowjob is not love...
DO: Experiment and keep things wild. You're not there to make love, you're there for crazy sex, so make it crazy. Ask her if you can tie her to the bed, or ask her if you can cum on her face. Chances are she is meeting you for local casual sex because she wants to try new things too!
DON'T: Don't be mean to your casual sex partner. Remember, this could be the first time she has ever had sex with a random local stranger too. She could be nervous, and you probably are too. The goal is to have fun and have sex and to go home laid, not to go home angry.
There is probably nothing better than hooking up with a hot local girl or meeting up for a one night stand while your travelling or while the wife is away (nobody is judging...) but there are a few things you should always keep in mind:
1. If you live in a large city and you are looking for local girls for sex, you might accidentally see someone you know. If you do, hit her up and see if she wanted to have sex with you, but remember that she is local and you might have the same friends or know the same people.
2. Never spread rumors or share information about the local women you are talking to. They are simply looking for a good time and should be comfortable doing so. By spreading rumors or sharing private information about the girl, you might scare her into deleting her profile. Always respect the girls that are online looking for local hookups, just as you would want them to respect you.
3. Chances are, that if you are trying to meet local women for hookups, dates, casual sex, or even serious relationships, you might end up bumping into them again. Some of these girls might be the girl next door, or a co-worker, nurse, doctor, or anything in your area. You could easily run into past and present casual sex partners, hookups, fuck buddies and friends with benefits in public. Remember to be discrete and respectful.
4. Be discrete! This is very important! When you are online using a casual or adult dating service, discretion is very important. Chances are, you don't want everyone to know you are cheating on your wife, and most girls don't want half the town knowing she has a profile on an adult or casual dating site.
You've just gotten out of a serious relationship and now you've decided to try a casual adult dating. Where do you start? Are you rusty? There are a few things that you can keep in mind that will help to ensure that your casual relationship remains safe, fun, and most of all, casual.
1. Always make sure to be honest about wanting to keep the relationship casual. After all, you do not want to mislead your partner into thinking you want more when you're really just looking for casual sex.
2. Remember to never spend the night, because this gives your partner the impression that you want to move beyond a casual relationship into a more serious one.
3. Remember that you are not the only one in a casual relationship. You're looking for a local girl that will have sex with you, and chances are that she is just looking for sex too. You're going to talk to hot, sexy women and she will probably end up talking to sexy men or woman as well. This is a casual sex date.
4. Always take care of yourself. Make sure that, when you meet up, you are clean and ready for sex. With casual adult dating, she will be more likely to refuse sex if you do not look clean and ready to go.
5. Remember that she is a fuck buddy, and that you are looking for hot sex and nothing more. Always, ALWAYS, wear protection.
6. Casual dating lets you try new things. Maybe you've always wanted a threesome, or maybe you have never had sex with a blonde. Maybe, you want to be tied up by a hot MILF. Remember to have fun and be adventurous.

What is Books for All?
The Books for All Scotland Database is part of the bigger Books for All project that enables teachers and other education practitioners to search for and download books and other printed materials in adapted, accessible formats for print disabled pupils. The resources on the database are Accessible Copies of copyright books and works.
Books from the database should be downloaded by staff - not pupils - to comply with copyright terms and conditions.
The Database is hosted by Scran and managed by CALL Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government.
Who provided the accessible copies?
Teachers, support assistants and others from Shetland, City of Edinburgh, Scottish Borders, RNIB Scotland, CALL Scotland, Dumfries & Galloway, Highland Council, Glasgow City Council, Fife, Moray, Perth & Kinross all contributed accessible copies and made them available on the Books for All Database.
Publishers BrightRed, TeeJay, and Hodder Gibson have made their Scottish textbooks available on the Database for print disabled pupils.
The Database also lists books that are available from The Seeing Ear online library. To download these books you need to become a member of the Seeing Ear library.
The Accessible Copies of books in both the Books for All Database and Seeing Ear are made and shared under the terms and conditions of the Copyright Licensing Agency Print Disability Licence. The books can only be used by pupils who are visually impaired or otherwise disabled and by reason of such visual impairment or disability are unable to read or access the original printed book.
In practice, this means the books on the database can only be used by pupils who have difficulty reading or accessing paper books because they:
If a book is commercially available as an eBook or audio book, do I have to buy it rather than downloading it from the Database?
Yes - if you can actually read or access the commercial version. However, some learners cannot access commercial eBooks for various reasons and if this is the case for your learner, you can download from the Database. Check whether a book is available as an eBook by searching on Amazon, iTunes or other eBook sellers.
Can pupils access the database and download books?
No - Books should be downloaded by staff - not pupils - to comply with copyright terms and conditions.
Can I transfer a book to a pupil on Glow, OneDrive, Edmodo or another cloud service?
Yes - provided you ensure that it is only accessible to that pupil, and no others.
Can I display a book from the Database on my white board for the whole class to see?
No - the book is for the personal use of the pupil for whom you downloaded it. (Unless the whole class or class group all have print disabilities, and you have downloaded copies for each pupil.)
What is an e-Text file and how is it different from an eBook?
e-Text stands for "electronic text". We don't use 'Ebook' because most of the files on the Database are PDFs, which is a different format to that of eBooks - eBooks are mostly either Amazon Kindle or ePUB format. We use PDF because they can be read with a wider range of software and apps, and because the text-to-speech tools that are available are in most cases better.
Can the scanned files be read out loud by my computer or device?
Yes. The scanned books have been converted into readable text using 'OCR' (optical character recognition') software. However, the OCR software sometimes makes mistakes, so many of the records will say the book is "Scanned - text may have errors". Most of the text should be OK but you may come across occasional words that are not spoken correctly. It very much depends on the original paper book, and the font that was used.

|Text too small?
The government has quietly formed a 40-strong Water Reform Directorate in the Ministry for the Environment to respond to last week's report of the four year experiment in consensus policy-making, the Land and Water Forum.
In a move welcomed by water sector watchers as a sign the LAWF process will produce major improvements in freshwater allocation and management, the directorate was established in August, drawing on officials from a range of disparate government agencies.
These include representatives from MfE, the Ministries of Primary Industries and Business, Innovation and Employment, and the Departments of Conservation and Internal Affairs, the Treasury, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and the Office of Treaty Settlements.
The directorate appears to be a response to concerns that too many agencies have had partial responsibility for freshwater policy, leading to fragmented advice.
Last week's LAWF report contained major recommendations to create a nationally guided, locally decided system for allocating freshwater resources among industrial, municipal, recreational, agricultural, iwi and other users.
Primary Industries and Environment Ministers David Carter and Amy Adams both welcomed the report, saying it provided a foundation for the government to complete its consideration of an issue that has become urgent as New Zealand waterways have become increasingly polluted and over-allocated.
"At this stage it is planned that it will be in place until about the end of March 2013," said the Environment Deputy Secretary Policy, Guy Beatson, in a statement supplied to BusinessDesk.
The directorate is headed by a senior MfE official Kay Harrison, reporting to Paul Reynolds (MfE and Chair of the Natural Resource Sector agencies) and Wayne McNee (MPI), as project sponsors.
"The timing of the setting up of the directorate reflected the need to gear up to provide timely advice on the Land and Water Forum recommendations," said Beatson. "Officials have been able to begin preparing advice based on the first two reports, while waiting on the finalisation of the third report.
"By co-locating this team of specialist analysts and advisors, the directorate is providing an all-of-government perspective to the water reform work, which is a key environmental and economic priority for the Government.
"Agencies may continue to provide separate second-opinion advice to their Ministers - although the more collaborative approach made possible by a cross-agency directorate will narrow the issues on which they may wish to suggest different approaches to Ministers."
The approach is consistent with the government's Better Public Services initiative, to improve collaboration in the bureaucracy.
"It is something we expect to see more often, especially across the Natural Resources Sector agencies which deal with complex, cross-cutting issues," said Beatson.

|Pritam shows cousin Sarda how a vortex tube works
If somebody wants to be in the lab, if science interests him, we have to provide the platform to do that.
— Dr. Yedidia Neumeier, principal research engineer and adjunct professor, Georgia Tech, School of Aerospace Engineering
Last summer, while reviewing the draft of Pritam Adhikari's personal essay for his college applications, I learned about his compelling dream of a career related to aviation — a dream he developed in Beldangi-2, a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal, and nurtured across continents and cultures despite a dizzying array of traumas, demands, and challenges following ethnic cleansing of 100,000 fellow ethnic-Nepali Bhutanese in their homeland, Bhutan.
And it struck me that polishing Pritam's standout essay was secondary to introducing him to my longtime friend, Dr. Yedidia Neumeier. The pair bonded quickly — the Israeli-born Orthodox Jew and the native Bhutanese son of a Hindu priest. Yedidia invited Pritam to join David and Moshe (he dubbed the trio, the "Three Musketeers") this summer in an intriguing project in Yedidia's lab.
|David (Yeshiva HS, NYC), Moshe (Yeshiva Atlanta),
Pritam (Druid Hills HS, Atlanta), and Yedidia
On completing their project in the Combustion Lab, the "Three Musketeers" presented the fruits of their summer activities. In a wood-paneled seminar room of the storied School of Aerospace Engineering, Dr. Neumeier introduced the high school students and their guests and described the project purpose and methodology. Each student explained what he had learned, illustrating key points using presentation slides.
Family, friends, and graduate students paid rapt attention.
Following a robust Q&A, the group drove across campus to the Combustion Lab where Yedidia explained early aerospace technology.
And, the guests experienced "hands-on" a vortex tube in operation.
In their project presentation, a concluding slide on "What we gained and learned from our time at Georgia Tech" summarized what the students had learned: "How to set up a proper experiment, take good data, and understand our results." And, I reflected on other lessons they had learned — meeting fellow students from different cultures and backgrounds and working together as one team honoring everyone's talents and creativity.
May they and their devoted teacher, mentor, and ally continue to go from strength to strength! And to Yedidia: תודה רבה, רבה — many thanks!

text: Alumna Madelon Morin serves at-risk youth in the Dominican Republic One experience can change the course of your life. For Madelon Morin that experience was a service immersion trip to the Dominican Republic organized by the Center for Service Learning. This was sophomore year and Madelon was trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. As a work-study student in the Center for Service Learning, she kept hearing about this unique experience in the DR. But she was hesitant. She didn't know anyone who was going and didn't speak much Spanish. Eventually, she decided to take a chance. "It was all new and it pushed me out of my comfort zone. But there is just something about Jesuit education that you can trust, the feeling that everything will be okay. There is something that grabs your attention, takes over your heart and creates this passion to serve, to help others and learn their stories." Madelon's experience abroad gave her a new perspective and a growing sense of direction. She would return to the DR each summer during college, teaching special education and photography at an orphanage, while also practicing Spanish. These experiences transformed her time at Regis as well. She took a major in international business, got more involved on campus and became even more dedicated to service. After graduating in 2012, Madelon decided to volunteer at the orphanage for a full year. And recently, at the end of her year, she found a full-time job in the country with a USAID-funded initiative. Fittingly, she is now the communications and community specialist for a project that serves at-risk youth. "It's a challenge," she said of her job, "but that's what makes it worth it. Nothing comes easy and working for something greater than you is really special. It's all for the kids, the kids that deserve a chance, a chance that no one has ever given them." Discover your life path and create a better world at Regis University.

Hawaii primary too close to call
HONOLULU — The Democratic Senate primary in Hawaii was too close to call Sunday morning, with the incumbent clinging to a slight lead and residents in a pair of storm-ravaged precincts yet to cast their ballots.
With all but two of the state's 247 precincts reporting, Sen. Brian Schatz had a 1,635-vote advantage over Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, 49.3 percent to 48.6 percent, according to The Associated Press.
Story Continued Below
Schatz's narrow edge in the Senate primary came despite a resounding defeat for his political benefactor, as Democrats here delivered an overwhelming rebuke to the man who appointed Schatz, Gov. Neil Abercrombie. The governor was defeated by a little-known state senator, David Ige.
But the voting isn't over. The two precincts outstanding weren't open on Saturday, and the more than 8,000 voters in areas of the Island of Hawaii that suffered the most devastation from Tropical Storm Iselle late last week will have the option of voting by mail over the coming weeks if they didn't take advantage of early voting. That could lead to a frenzied push by both camps to corral voters in those areas — though Hanabusa would have to win the vast majority of the mail ballots, plus any remaining absentee ballots, to catch Schatz.
"If that's what it comes to, we will get out there," Schatz told Honolulu's ABC affiliate, KITV. "I think we're gonna regroup in the morning. … We feel really good. We're not quite celebrating because it's not quite over, but we're really pleased with our lead."
Hanabusa said she had no idea what would happen in the two remaining precincts but pledged an intense get-out-the-vote effort.
"This election is not over. It is far from over," Hanabusa told supporters Saturday night. "No one's gonna call this election because anything can happen."
Abercrombie, seeking a second term, was crushed by Ige. Even a late-campaign radio ad by President Barack Obama, who grew up on the islands and remains popular here, couldn't reverse Abercrombie's slide. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Ige led 67 percent to 32 percent, more than doubling Abercrombie's total despite being vastly outspent during the race.
( Also on POLITICO: Pollsters: 'Everything is terrible')
"Part of our democracy is the rough-and-tumble of electoral politics," Abercrombie told staff and supporters in private remarks after his defeat. "I'll be taking my leave of electoral politics this evening."
Abercrombie quickly threw his support to Ige, telling campaign staff, "We need to work together, stick together, be together to move Hawaii forward, and he can count on me to do that."
But some of his backers worried that Abercrombie's ouster could embolden Republicans, who have their eye on regaining the seat they held for two terms last decade.
"I anticipate that the Republicans, nationally, are smelling blood," Randy Iwase, the Democratic nominee for governor in 2006, told POLITICO at Abercrombie's election-night event.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: No time limit on Iraq action)
Unlike the governor's race, either Schatz or Hanabusa will be a heavy favorite to retain the Senate seat.
Abercrombie's ouster — and the potential for more upheaval with the Senate primary still in doubt — is particularly shocking in a state with a long history of reelecting its officeholders. In fact, Abercrombie — who represented the state in Congress for 20 years before winning the governor's race four years ago — became the first of the state's seven governors to serve fewer than two terms since 1962, when its founding governor, William Quinn, lost reelection.

Amazing Cruise Cuisine Requires Extensive Grocery List
One of the most-anticipated aspects of a cruise vacation is all of the wonderful food on board. Cruise ship dining is legendary, and for good reason. You're likely to find everything from favorites like cheeseburgers and fries to innovative gourmet dishes (prawns wrapped in pancetta and flamed in Armagnac, anyone?) on board. Plus, everything will be freshly made and beautifully presented by a talented culinary staff.
Most cruise ships are ready to take care of guests' hunger pangs 24 hours a day, with a wide array of choices that range from super-healthy to deliciously decadent. Larger ships offer an increasing variety of dining venues, including traditional dining rooms, specialty restaurants, buffets, sushi bars, coffeehouses and ice cream parlors. For the ultimate in private dining, you can even call for room service.
The sheer variety of food available on a cruise ship often amazes guests, to say nothing of the quantity. One of the questions most frequently asked by cruise passengers is, "Just how much food is consumed on a cruise?" The answer may surprise you! Here is the shopping list for a 14-day cruise aboard the Celebrity Infinity, which can carry up to 2,038 guests:
Beef: 24,236 poundsLamb: 5,040 poundsPork: 7,218 poundsVeal: 4,600 poundsSausage: 1,680 poundsChicken: 10,211 poundsTurkey: 3,146 poundsFish: 13,156 poundsCrab: 350 poundsLobster: 2,100 poundsFresh Vegetables: 25,736 poundsPotatoes: 15,150 poundsFresh Fruit: 20,003Milk: 3,260 gallonsCream: 1,976 quartsIce Cream: 600 gallonsEggs: 9,235 dozenSugar: 5,750 poundsRice: 3,800 poundsCereal: 1,750 poundsJelly: 450 poundsTea Bags: 2,450Coffee: 2,458 poundsCookies: 1,936 poundsHerb and Spices: 120 poundsWine: 3,400 bottlesChampagne: 200 bottlesGin: 200 bottlesVodka: 290 bottlesWhiskey: 350 bottlesRum: 150 bottlesSherry: 45 bottlesLiqueurs: 600 bottlesBeer: 10,100 bottles and cans
Imagine how many shopping carts that grocery list would require! Of course, it does include most everything needed for all of the thousands of meals, snacks, desserts and refreshments served on a two-week cruise.
If you follow a vegetarian, kosher, diabetic, low-fat, low-sodium, low-cholesterol, gluten-free, lactose-free or other special diet, be sure to let Cruise Holidays know. Cruise ship culinary staffs are accustomed to accommodating special requests. With advance notice, they can provide a memorable dining experience within the limitations of virtually any special diet.

Some people start coughing when they breathe very dry, heated air.

Prostatic calculi (stones) are very common. They aren't always
apparent during a rectal exam or on X-rays.
Prostate stones are usually tiny—about the size of poppy seeds—and do
not cause symptoms.
In some men, infected prostate stones may cause recurrent
urinary tract infections (UTIs) and make it hard
to cure bacterial
prostatitis. The stones may have to be removed with
surgery before UTIs or chronic prostatitis can be resolved.

Here's Ron Burgundy, saying exactly what I was thinking when the seventh inning finally ended. What a terrible way to lose a ballgame, especially in the Bronx. 13 Yankees came to the plate to face four Mets pitchers. There were five singles, a double, one batter reached on an error by Willie Harris, one intentional walk, one unintentional walk, one hit batsman, and one mind-boggling bunt* by Curtis Granderson, the Yankees' best hitter right now. Everything that could go wrong for the Mets did.
*As @rebeccapbp tweeted earlier: "Just imagine if, that inning, Granderson didn't bunt". He has 16 homers (including one in the first inning today) and a .935 OPS (entering the game, anyway). What the heck was he thinking? I mean, I'll take it, but giving away outs like that makes me cringe.
That's the thing though: everything did go wrong. Those five singles I mentioned? One was a bleeder by Derek Jeter that went right through Mike Pelfrey's legs, another barely evaded Jose Reyes, and a third was an A-Rod infield single. Read that last part again: A-Rod had an infield single. And got an RBI out of it. When was the last time you saw that happen?
I don't think we need to draw any conclusions from what happened today. The Mets have been winning games lately: I feel comfortable predicting that they'll get back to that in Chicago. This game, no matter how unpleasant it was to watch, is just a speed bump, something to be swept under the rug as soon as possible. Let's all just agree not to mention it anytime soon, ok?

A day after Facebook filed its $5 billion IPO, a rare occurrence happened - It was out of service for a short period of time.
Business Insider reports the Social Network was down for about 15 minutes between 1:15 and 1:30 EST.
Maybe The Facebook went out for a little too much partying last night after its big filing. Hopefully it knows better than to post incriminating evidence of itself on itself!
Whatever the case, everyone can relax, as it appears the network took a few Alka-Selters, ate a greasy brunch and is back up and running again.

Online Courses Spring 2008
Group 1 courses have no restrictions in place so all students are free to enroll as long as space remains. Since these courses are open to anyone, they are likely to fill up quickly. If you plan to take any Group 1 course, you should enroll at the earliest possible moment. If you have questions about the class or whether it is the right course for you, enroll now and then ask your questions. You can always drop the course if you determine it isn't right for you, but waiting to determine this fact may result in the class filling up without you.
Group 2 courses require permission to enroll. I have provided the contact information for the person who can provide this permission. You should request this permission as soon as you determine you are interested in the course. You don't need to wait until you are able to register or until you have finalized other course choices.
There may be a delay between requesting permission and receiving a response. If you have the opportunity to enroll in other courses during this delay, please do so since waiting may result in your other courses filling up.
Group 3 courses are restricted to specific majors. Classes restricted to LIS majors are open to LIS majors as if they were Group 1 courses, but courses restricted to other majors are not available at this time.
Restricted courses are a way for programs to insure that their majors have access to classes they need to graduate. In many cases, the classes are not filled up by program majors and the seats are made available to LIS majors. I will send out details when these classes become available so it is worth considering classes restricted to other majors.
There are two types of waitlists – formal and informal.
A formal waitlist is created in the registration system. There are pros and cons to having a waitlist so faculty members must request a formal waitlist. This means that not every class will have a formal waitlist.
If you attempt to register in a class that has filled class and that class has a formal waitlist, you will be offered a space on the waitlist. If an enrolled student drops the class, only waitlisted students will be able to fill the opening. If you are waitlisted, it would be worth your time to check the schedule from time to time to see if a space has opened. The first student on the waitlist is able to enroll in an open space with no permission so you should try to register. If you aren't able to register, contact the program and ask for permission to enroll. It will be the program's call whether to give you that permission or not, but bringing the opening to their attention is often rewarded.
Informal waitlists are usually created for Group 2 courses – the system does not allow waitlists for classes that require permission. Informal waitlist are kept by the person granting permission and this person generally monitors the class list to see if someone drops and contacts the next person on the list to see if they are still interested in the course.

DescriptionA nanobot has been stolen from the work of a world renowned scientist, Dr. Katya Nadanova, of the Oxford Department of Microtechnology by a man known only as "the General", and has kidnapped the girl as well. James Bond races to rescue both the scientist and to retake the nanobots, and kills the General along with the nanobot samples. Bond returns Kataya to a nearby base, but it turns out the scientist has not been so faithful to Oxford. Katya meets up with Nikolai Diavolo, and gives him a hidden vial of the nanobots. Before long Bond is yet again called into action when MI6 loses contact with 003. And so Bond is off to Peru...
Everything or Nothing is the second of the James Bond third-person shooters, after Tomorrow Never Dies for the Playstation. The game features new guns and a new and improved aiming system which allows you to strategically hug walls and fire around or crouch behind cover. New gadgets allow Bond to go invisible, disrupt electronics, or control mechanical spiders which allow him to access new areas. Everything or Nothing is also the first game where Pierce Brosnan actually supplies his voice for the likeness of his character, as well as many other such as Judi Dench and John Cleese.
The game features a a campaign with over 30 missions and a brand new co-op game where you take the roles of newly recruited MI6 agents on investigations of their own. EON also includes a same-screen deathmatch that allows for up to four players to play.

EonThe company that Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, the original producers of the James Bond series, set up to produce the films was called Eon, which was rumored to be an acronym for "Everything or Nothing." However, sources inside the Bond camp over the years have denied that "Eon" stood for anything.
MyaR&B Diva Mya performs the opening theme to James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing and also appears in the game as Bond girl Mya Starling.
Multiplayer server shutdownThe multiplayer servers were shut down on January 13, 2006.
OriginalityNot the first bond game with an original story; but was the first bond game to feature actual actors who could be realistically cast as their characters. It's also the first Bond game to use Pierce Brosnan's voice.
