If I like a man with physical attributes so much that it blocks the opportunity to know a man's heart if he's overweight, am I superficial?
He finds me attractive and I have an attraction to his mind and his heart just not so much to his "bigness". And apparently his size doesn't matter to my heart only to my eyes, but I'm describing the me that I know to be.
I wouldn't say you are superficial, we all have our preferences and sometimes those can get in the way. I love the look of a toned, ripped, muscular body, but I prefer "bigness" I find comfort in the big teddy bear type.
Yes, we all have our visual preferences. I love my husband for his mind and his heart but it was his looks that hooked me first. Now that he's quite large, part of me looks at that weight and cringes.
Of course I'm sure he coud say the same about me.
I don't think your superficial 47, just honest.
If your preference is one way, it would be hard for you to get past that. My brother is a BIG guy, he is a sweetheart and he says, women don't know what they are missing out on, of course he is joking. But alot of people have preconceived ideas of overweight people, they are lazy, they overeat, weak willpower. And so many have this, they can't get past it and do not give the overweight person an oppurtunity to even get to know them.How would you feel if it were reversed and you were the overweight person? Have you ever watched those TV shows where they take a small person and make them large and follow them around w/a camera. The one show I recall is the Bachlorette where they dressed her as a LG woman and she interviewed the bachlors and they were on hidden camera, she was so upset with the guys who were saying things about her when she was out of sight she got rid of them. If you can't get past this you are being honest.
Wow, that's a tricky question. I know what your sayin tho, cause we usually are attracted to the physical first, then the emotional. With heavy guys you gotta get the emotional down first, then the physical. When you get to know them as friends first, lettin the attraction for them grow, the physical will just come naturally. But I have to say personally for me, if you don't got it goin' on physically I'm not gettin any further than friends. I have gone out with skinny guys, fat guys and toned guys and the toned up guys always win it hands down. Cause if the sex appeal isn't there, it's not happening. But the fat guys are always fun to hang out with, joke around, etc. I can't get busy with a heavy dude, even tho I'm heavy, I guess I'm superficial.. I don't know, I gotta have that physical attraction first..Some girls don't care as they look at the inside and then the physical doesn't matter, but unfortunately I'm not one of them..sorry. Good luck!
I'm loving the feedback from my friends here at Fab40 and one thing present in all the answers is honesty. Some express exactly what I'm dealing with. The idea of sexual anything with Mr.Bigness is my current hang up, but as far as everything else is concerned there is chemistry. Maybe I should just let my inhibitions go.
Let your heart guide you..
Like my lil bro says, you'll never know what your missin.
If you have chemistry. I dont see the problem.
You want him. go get him
I think it is more important to judge a person by his character more than by his looks. A guy could be attractive, have a great body but have a nasty disposition and be very disrespectful. The overweight man could have the best personality, be very respectful of women, etc. You don't want to miss out on a good opportunity to be with a great guy just because he doesn't look like the normal type of guys you are used to dating. I have a friend who had those same hangups when she met her now fiance and found that he is a wonderful and loving man. Now if he is just so hard to look at then you should probably keep it moving but if you can actually look at him and carry on a decent conversation without getting skeeved out then try getting to know him and see what develops. Good luck 47!!
Once again my girlfriends have given more valuable view points. Just like some little children I don't want to miss out on anything, so if I'm not skeeved out I'm going to go get him.
Like the old saying goes "Don't judge a book by it's cover" I have a girlfriend who is tall slim a knock out drop dead georgeous. Only dated like guys, she said they were all horrible, self centered, unfaithful. She married a man whom I would have never thought she would have given the time of day to. I asked here what give Missy? She said her granny gave her advice that she took to heart "you'll never find a good man that thinks higher of himself than he does of you." They are the most happy couple it's cute. Good advice granny.
Please don't get mad that I posted anon. The reason is in case my husband saw my answer I'd really be upset. Ok, I too am attracted to the physical first. However, I did date a guy who is a big guy (and I don't mean real fat, they call him "Da Big Guy". He's bad but has a bad ass go-tee, the most wonderful sense of humor of anyone I've met, the absolute best dancer, good in bed, I could go on and on. What ended it for me was he was in his last 40's and didn't own a home. (Now I know that's superficial but hey, I figured if I owned he should too). Anyways, we have remained dear friends and still meet for lunch. He always fills me in on his girlfriend drama and call's me for advice. Now, why would my hubz be upset? When we were dating I told him I had never slept with this man. (Personally I don't think he had a right to ask that question so I lied). We dated 15 years ago and live about 20 minutes away from each other. My husband doesn't care if we have lunch anytime. Because he say's "he know's he's not my type!". I prefer tall lean men like my husband.
Oh well, if he snoops through now it's been blown. Ha Ha
Wow, this is something. I'm in the same situation. I'm dating this man , he has almost everything I want in a man, but when we went to the pool and saw his belly and butts out I couldn't take out off my mind and i feel funny, I didn't like the way I feel. After that he try to hug me inside the pool and I tried to push him await, but i think he has getting the feeling. I want to try to make this work, i need help with this because I'm tired being those good looking men, they know that they look good and that is the reason why they play around.....
thank you for your words, i had being very hard on myself all my life.
OMG, I've just convinced myself to get over a crush on a man that has some fat on him but is a total sweetheart, and that is what I cared about and was drawn to. The reason for my needing to convince myself to get over him is ... he's not quite over his X girlfriend. sigh...
(Good slow dancer even with a injured ankle. dang! Loves music, plays music, loves living in the woods, loves animals. ) mmmmm..... And he's a hugger, too.
My hub takes good care of himself, but wants to be more lean and I miss the strong, very muscular athletic body he once had.
Girl to each their own lol, if you can get pass the bigness do so you said you're attracted to this man and he seems to be into you go for it and stop hitting yourself in ther head, I for one love a big man lol, my hubby is not big enough but he's big and I love every ounce of him lol, enjoy your man my friend.

I have already argued that the Digerati, my name for young entrepreneurs such as Digg founder Kevin Rose or Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, have begun to develop profiles close to celebrities…
…or, at least, mini-celebrities in their own right in their quest to position their products for a cool young audience, the appointment of Lazar to TechCrunch would provide a voice in tune with cool young things.
And today Philip Delves Broughton writes in London's Sunday Times that the Digerati plus their wealthy venture capital chums are a key constituent in Barack Obama's campaign:
These are the financiers, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who perceive in him not only a likely winner, from an investment perspective, but also a man whose rise and ideology-lite politics closely mirror their own. They include men like Ken Griffin, the baby-faced, 40-year-old billionaire who runs Citadel Investment Group, one of the largest hedge funds in the US.
Delves Broughton himself was a leading journalist – Paris desk head for London's Daily Telegraph. Famously he left to study at the Havard Business School, is experience reviewed in the same week's issue of the Sunday Times. At first he found it difficult to settle into what author Tom Wolfe would have called a "Master of the Universe"-style job such as a banker, writing a book about the experience first. But, finally, that $175,000 investment seems to have paid off:
After flirting with an idea for a 'very high end laundry firm', he's now setting up a cutting-edge podcast company with a friend. 'It is a turbulent frontier world, and enormous fun to inhabit, whatever becomes of our venture'
So even Delves Broughton ends up in digital – though he has not yet activated the blog on his site!

We always hear about Suri, Tom Cruise's daughter with Katie Holmes, and the odd story is written about Connor, a.k.a. DJ Squared, his son with Nicole Kidman. But very little is said about Tom and Nic's daughter, Isabella. With the exception of her marriage a year ago, all we know about Bella is that she and Connor aren't really a prominent part of Nicole's life.
After their parents divorced, they reportedly had no interest with staying their mom. Was it because there was a certain
"religion" religion involved? Allegedly. But considering how unaffected Bella and Connor have always appeared to be, they seem like they might have been better suited living with Nicole, her husband Keith Urban and their kids than with their world-travelling, movie-making, dad.
However the two became estranged from their mom, it looks like time really does heal all wounds. According to Woman's Day magazine, Nicole and Bella had a long-awaited reunion in London, where Mom met her son-in-law, Max Parker, for the first time.
It's been nearly a year since Isabella and Max were married — without either of their parents on the guest list.
"It was a very emotional moment for all of them, especially Nicole," a source told the magazine. "It didn't take long for her to burst into tears, and Bella soon followed."
The source added: "Nic has been trying to build bridges with Bella since the start of the year," adding that "Nicole took an instant liking to Max and could see that he and Bella get on really well."
Finally, a nice story coming out of Cruise's camp (though since it's actually a Kidman story, that may be why). With Tom reportedly too busy to see Suri, one had to wonder if he makes time for his other kids. Back in the day, Nicole never seemed to have a choice in the matter and had to accept what came with life post-Tom, but you just know she would've been more involved.
Though both Connor and Bella have admitted more recently that they do keep in touch with Nicole, hopefully this is the start of a deepening relationship. At the very least, Tom and Nic can be proud of their kids, who seem to be two fairly normal individuals living fairly ordinary lives — despite who their parents are. And maybe, if they are spending any time in Nashville, we just don't know it. That would be kind of awesome.

Autism Awareness vs Autism Acceptance
We are very happy to present today's guest blog post from Julian Laferrera.
Julian Laferrera is a junior at Mount Holyoke College. She is majoring in mathematics and is in the teacher licensure program for secondary math education. She is a Peer Fellow in the college's AccessAbility Office, where she mentors and supports other disabled students. Julian has been learning American Sign Language (ASL) for seven years, and is currently studying for a semester at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C.
This April, many people around the world are celebrating Autism Awareness Month. I am not one of them; I will be celebrating Autism Acceptance Month. Although these terms sound similar, they mean very different things.
Autism Awareness Month campaigns focus on bringing public awareness to the condition. Many parents of children with autism use this time to share the challenges they encounter because of their children's autistic traits. Additionally, there will be many companies donating portions of their proceeds to autism research and early intervention. At face value, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity to talk about autism, a condition that is often widely misrepresented in media, and impacts the lives of autistic people, their families, their schools, and people they interact with everyday.
However, Autism Awareness campaigns are lacking in two ways: they ignore the prevalence of autism awareness already in the world, and they promote basic tolerance within the framework of autism as a consistent struggle or burden. Firstly, many people nowadays are aware of autism. Although stereotypes and myths abound, most people have a general idea of what autism means. Secondly, when Autism Awareness campaigns often frame autism as a disease, a burden, something that should be cured, it hurts autistic people. Many autistic people and their allies, myself included, believe that autism is a natural part of human diversity. Curing suggests that autism is inherently unfavorable, burdensome, and unwanted. I love being autistic, and it hurts to hear that some people think that my peers and I would be better off without autism.
Autism still can cause issues for me and others, but perhaps not in the way you think. Many of what people see as "challenging behaviors" can actually be reframed as a difficulty in communicating with neurotypical people. Growing up autistic means that sometimes neurotypical people do baffling things, and it's hard to figure out the reasons why. Growing up autistic can be challenging when you process the world differently than others around you do. Growing up autistic is difficult when people don't understand your ways of expressing yourself. When I say that I support Autism Acceptance Month, I mean that I view autism as an integral part of autistic individuals and that their challenges are not an inherent flaw but rather are a reflection on the neurotypical society we live in.
Given that many people are already "aware" of autism, the next step after awareness is acceptance of those differences. Unlike simple tolerance, acceptance requires effort, on everyone's part to include autistic people in parts of society where they were previously excluded. Some autistic people don't communicate with their mouths, or what comes out of their mouths is not connected with what they are trying to say in their heads. After recognizing communication barriers, practicing acceptance means providing and teaching alternative ways to express oneself, through AAC, sign language, typing or other ways. Acceptance looks like teaching about the rules of the neurotypical world, but not forcing autistic people to strictly adhere to them. Acceptance means working with autistic individuals to figure out what accommodations they need to thrive in a particular environment. Overall, the lives of autistic people and neurotypical people can improve when there is mutual respect and learning from one another.
In the end, Autism Awareness campaigns can have a negative impact on autistic people's self-worth through implications of being a burden, promote cures for a condition that is simply a part of diversity, and seeks tolerance as its goal. Autistic people deserve more than just awareness or tolerance. If you are ready to put in the hard work of autism acceptance, then join me in celebrating Autism Acceptance Month.

In a surprisingly ominous trailer for the PS Vita port of NetherRealm Studios' Mortal Kombat, the figher Kitana gets a live-action look in a weirdly industrial section of a city that also borders a park. Kitana will be one of the many fighters that players can choose from in the port that will be different enough from the full console version. Some of the new features include Vita-specific moments requiring the use of the back touch panel.
The trailer does stick to the Vita marketing theme of being able to play anywhere with the possibility of playing against other Vita owners.
For a more in-depth look at the way the Vita version will look and play check out our full hands-on preview.
Mortal Kombat will be out for the Vita on May 1.

Lohagad Fort is one of the most popular treks in Maharashtra, thanks to the easy trek route. Anyone can do this trek, including families with children. The sturdy structure of the fort is still mostly intact, and you'll climb to 3400 feet to get to the top. The main attraction of Lohagad fort is the famous Vinchu Katta, the winding rampart walls that are shaped like the tail of a scorpion. The tail is roughly 2 kms in length and offers spectacular views of the Pawna reservoir, as well as the forts of Tikona, Visapur, and Tung.
'Lohagad', meaning 'Iron Fort', is is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, and therefore is subject to restrictions on timing. Camping is not allowed at the top, and the gates to the trek trail will be shut by 17:00 hrs. It is best to start early in the morning so you'll have enough time to explore the top and descend in time.
There are different itineraries for the Lohagad trek. Some operators include transport from Mumbai or Pune, while some will pick you up at Lonavala station. All treks begin early in the morning, so that you can eat lunch at the top and descend by 15:00 or 16:00 hrs.
While the Lohagad trek is open year-round, it is absolutely stunning in the monsoon. Rainclouds descend from the skies and a cool mist engulfs the hilly landscape. The trail is lush green, with waterfalls, gushing streams, and moss-covered boulders. During the monsoon, the climb to the top can get a little challenging because of the slippery rocks, but the view from the top is absolutely worth the effort.
Here's a list of the top monsoon treks in Maharashtra that are a must-do this monsoon!
Lohagad fort is located about 15 kms from Lonavala, 120 kms from Mumbai, and 65 kms from Pune. You can board a train to Lonavala station (major station) or to Malavli station, which is accessible by suburban trains from Pune. If you're driving, you can get here via the Mumbai-Pune highway.
The Lohagad trek is one of the easiest treks near Mumbai and Pune, which is why it is also one of the top treks in Maharashtra. The trail takes about 2 hours to get to the top, with stone steps that lead up to the fort. In the winter, this is an easy walk that even children can do. In the monsoon, the trek is slightly more difficult with gushing water and mossy steps, but it is still an easy climb.
Lohagad Fort is open all year round, but it is most popular during the monsoon. During this time, the landscape is transformed into a rain-drenched wonderland. However, many trekkers like to visit in winter for the dry trail and clear views.
Yes, absolutely. The Lohagad trek is one of the easiest treks around Lonavala, and is suitable for beginners or families with children. In the monsoon, it is a great outdoors experience for children.
Your operator will provide you with a complete packing list, so do make sure you pack accordingly. However, here are some tips: If you're going in the monsoon, take a rain coat for yourself and a raincover for your bag. Make sure you're wearing comfortable trekking shoes and quick-dry clothing. If you like, you can also carry a change of clothes or at least a spare pair of socks and sandals to wear on the way back. Keep a cap, sunglasses, and insect repellent and sunscreen in your bag, and carry some dry snacks and fruit. Read our blog about What to Pack for Trekking in the Sahyadris.

Pearly Beach at a glance
The Pearl of All Beaches In many ways, Pearly Beach is still the same "pearl of all beaches" that earned it its name decades ago. This rural haven of endless beach and indigenous fynbos-dappled dunes maintained its character as a picturesque hide-away and fisherman's paradise despite a rapidly growing population and infrastructure. A warm social heart and various shops, pubs and diners, as well as a bustling Angling and Recreational Club, make this the true hidden pearl of the Gansbaai area. A great deal of Pearly's charm lies in its old traditions and the jovial camaraderie between locals and long-term visitors. They share the same passion for the wide open spaces and epic beach where a myriad fish has for decades been chasing the hooks of seasoned anglers. Since the early 1920's generations of families have come to spend their summer vacations camping and fishing at Pearly Beach. Today, many of these early visitors are permanent or weekend residents with houses overlooking their favourite playground. The tradition lives on and over weekends and holidays, the shore is lined with merry anglers, amply armed with sustenance for a long, leisurely day at the water's edge. Official angling competitions held on a regular basis form part of the community's strong social character. The sea and vast stretches of white sand beach is ideal for swimming, long hikes, cycling and other beach activities. From July to December, the Southern Right Whales and their calves can be seen playing close to the shore. Local folklore has it that bad weather is on the way when the whales are breaching! The area also boasts an abundant birdlife and floral kingdom. Pearly Beach has a unique character and the locals keep a busy social calendar - there's always a reason and a season to celebrate! Two general stores selling anything from wine to winches, and a variety of quaint shops, pubs, eating places, guesthouses and B&B's cater for every demand. Seeff Pearly Beach can assist you with all your property needs, be it residential properties such as vacant stands, family homes or commercial properties.

MILWAUKEE — Advocate Aurora Health has announced its intention to power its 500-plus sites, including 27 hospitals, using only renewable electricity by the year 2030.
"Clean power produces clean air, and clean air helps save lives," Bill Santulli, chief operations officer of Advocate Aurora Health, said in a statement. "This commitment builds upon our strong track record of leadership in sustainability and environmental stewardship."
This commitment reportedly includes additional planning and energy considerations during the construction of new facilities — like the 96-acre hospital and $13-million medical center planned for Mount Pleasant, not to mention Aurora Medical Hospital already in Burlington.
All of Advocate Aurora's current health care sites are located either in Wisconsin or northern Illinois. A press release issued Wednesday said that it is the first health system in Illinois to "publicly announce such a goal."
You have free articles remaining.
Based in La Crosse, the Gundersen Health System has been working toward creating the first fully energy-independent hospitals in the U.S. for a decade. Minnesota Public Radio reported in 2015 that, between 2008 and 2014, Gundersen's energy bill dropped from $5.3 million down to $5.1 million while the system's cumulative square footage grew by 26 percent.
Renewable impact
If successful, having Advocate Aurora go 100-percent renewable will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 392,657 metric tons per year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. That's approximately equal to removing 84,000 cars from the road.
"As the 10th largest not-for-profit integrated health system in the country, it's imperative that we help lead the way toward a healthy environment that can support healthy people. Transitioning to clean energy reduces air pollution that is responsible for many chronic health conditions and mitigates the health impacts of climate change," Mary Larsen, director of environmental affairs and sustainability, said.
"Accelerating our work to make good on this pledge is just another way we will support the health and wellness of the patients and communities we are privileged to serve."
Not only helping the environment, Advocate Aurora said that using more renewable electricity will help people with asthma and other chronic conditions be able to breathe better, as a result of reduced waste in the air.
Update: This story has been edited to clarify Advocate Aurora's commitment to being reliant on renewable electricity by 2030, not renewable energy.

QR Code, Facebook And Mums
It's been found that more Australian moms are beginning to use online social networking sites to keep tabs on their kids, especially when their kids are studying or working overseas. And can you blame them? One 48 year old mom quipped, 'He won't call and sometimes, he's too busy with his life to pick up my calls. So, I check his Facebook page every once in a while to find out what he's up to. Perfectly harmless,' says Anne with a cheeky smile.
Well, it's harmless only if she refrains from over-commenting, checking for grammatical errors and posting embarrassing photos of him when he was a child on her facebook and then tagging him along with it. While Anne is pretty apt in dealing with her 'friendship' with her son on Facebook, there are other moms out there who make mistakes that results in being removed from their kids' friends list. And that is what Australia's largest telecommunications company is trying to do.
Some Australians may have spotted a curious looking QR Codes on some billboards – not just your conventional QR Code, but a fancy designer QR Code that leads you to a mobile web page DigitalMum or known as MUM 2.0. Currently, the designer QR Code can be found splattered across magazine pages and billboards in and around Australia.
The QR Code campaigned not only aim at young mothers in their twenties but also those who are internet savvy in their thirties. And beyond that, they envisage mothers in their forties to sixties might even join the bandwagon when their kids excitedly arm their mothers with new smart phones. This is the new age way for mothers to stay connected to their family members, you see and we're sure mothers in their fifties and sixties will take very little time to learn how useful QR Codes can be and start scanning the QR Codes that they see.
The QR Code marketing campaign aims at educating mothers with more internet skills thereby encouraging them to continue using online social networking sites to stay in touch with their kids. While mothers struggle with insecurities and learning curves of navigating the smart corners of new developments in the technology-driven world, MUM 2.0 will help them tremendously.
MUM 2.0 ambassador, Wendy Harmer, says that she (including her friends) use sites like Facebook and Myspace to keep in touch with their kids and they have learned ways to do it without intruding or appear to be stalking or spying on their kids.
We hope the QR Code campaign generates a good response from mothers all over Australia. In fact, it may even help mothers from other parts of the world.

There are few things sweeter in life than an ice cold Popsicle on a hot summer day. I wholeheartedly agreed with this statement until I heard about the Loopy Doopy rooftop bar in NYC.
Below more on Loop Doopy Rooftop
Their signature drink? Spiked ice pops dipped in bubbly prosecco. YUM. This trendy Tribeca bar on top of the Conrad Hotel offers five different people's pops flavors, all fruity and all boozy.The best time to go is definitely for sunset on a clear day but get there early to beat the long line.
We opted for that just-finished-bottomless-brunch-but-aren't-done-drinking time of day, which is my personal favorite.
This is a great spot for views of the Hudson while sucking down these quintessential summertime cocktails. So grab your squad and head to the Conrad for these yummy pops to feel like a kid again, only a little more sophisticated and a lot more delicious.

They HADN'T split - but L'Wren Scott's last troubled months were spent alone as she worked and Mick toured
His devastation is profound, his grief overwhelming. Since he learned the tragic news that his girlfriend L'Wren Scott committed suicide on Monday, Mick Jagger hasn't slept.
Indeed, his reaction to her death has been so extreme that the Rolling Stones entourage, which includes several medical professionals, is keeping a close eye on him, fearing for his health.
According to a close friend, the 70-year-old is deeply stunned and so grief-stricken he can barely speak.
Scroll down for video
Their relationship suited each other, it was not ending. But after Christmas, there were few opportunities to meet
If he had known, of course Mick would have helped L'Wren with her £5.6million debts
As Mick wrote in his heartbreakingly candid statement, L'Wren was his best friend and his lover and he will never get over her loss.
For now, he is closeted in the blandly modern five-star Hyatt Regency Hotel in Perth, Western Australia.
After the news was broken to him, Mick thought about flying straight to New York, where he might be able to help L'Wren's brother Randy organise the funeral, and perhaps see some of her friends. But I'm told he can't face it for now.
'New York will be too much of a zoo with all the media attention,' a friend explains. 'He will have to leave the hotel at some point, but for now he can't face it. It's too much for him.'
His daughter, Lizzie, is with him, and Georgia May, his other daughter by Jerry Hall, is also travelling to her father to be a shoulder to cry on.
It was confirmed last night that the band's Australasian tour has been cancelled. It could, in all probability, spell the end of the Stones, too.
Mick, it seems, had no idea that his girlfriend of almost 13 years was so low and simply cannot comprehend that she could have taken this dreadful step.
Indeed, though they had spent little time together in recent months, I can reveal that L'Wren had planned to visit Mick in Australia towards the end of the month.
Far from having broken up — as was claimed in some American reports on Monday night — they were still an item.
Heartfelt: Mick, 70, is deeply stunned and so grief-stricken he can barely speak. He can't face flying to New York
L'Wren had been acting fraught at a fashion event in December, erupting with rage at one point, it is claimed
L'Wren wouldn't have wanted to go on tour with The Stones, it wasn't her crowd. So she was left alone
Mick's spokesman called claims of a split 'a horrible and inaccurate piece of gossip'. But there's no denying that the months before her death were somewhat fraught.
After a Thanksgiving party at their Paris home, where L'Wren cooked dinner for Mick and several of his children, the couple spent Christmas together in London. But after this period of closeness, there was little time for them to be together.
She went to New York to work on her clothing line, in preparation for London and Paris fashion weeks. She also had to promote her collection for High Street brand Banana Republic, plus her range of cosmetics and perfume.
Mick, though, stayed on in Paris preparing for the Rolling Stones tour. There were endless meetings with accountants and insurers, rehearsals, dance lessons and an intensive fitness programme — all part and parcel of the machine for this rock behemoth.
Then came a mysterious crisis in L'Wren's health in February. Mick apparently rushed from Paris to New York to be with her.
The precise nature of the crisis isn't clear, though well-placed sources say the fashion designer, 49, was in a dark place and describe what went on as a cry for help.
L'Wren won't have wanted to join Mick on tour. Though she watched him play at Glastonbury and Hyde Park, she hated the Rolling Stones crowd
She had, some assert, been behaving oddly of late. Sources in New York say that for a week or so she had not been returning calls and emails, and was 'acting out of character'.
More disturbingly, L'Wren appeared to be overwrought on a trip to Doha, Qatar, in December, to give a talk on fashion shortly after the launch of her Banana Republic line.
One who was there told me that she erupted in a rage at one of the organisers, whom she accused of being a criminal. 'She seemed hypersensitive and very highly strung,' the source reports.
Mick, though, felt that she was well enough to be left behind when he went on tour with the Stones. The band's first show, in Macau, China, was on March 9.
It's certainly the case that L'Wren won't have wanted to go with him. Though she watched him play last year at Glastonbury and Hyde Park, she hated the Rolling Stones crowd.
The feeling was mutual. Keith Richards used to call her 'Le Man' and tease that she was so enormously tall, and with such large feet and hands, that she could not be female.
(He used to make much the same crack about Mick's first wife Bianca, whom he also heartily disliked.)
The Stones camp is a large, complex, protective crowd that operates like an enormous hellraising family. L'Wren was never a music fan, and found it all sexist and nasty.
Unfairly perhaps, she was regarded as a very high-maintenance fashionista. But she was bowled over by Mick
L'Wren turned a blind eye to Mick's wish to have discreet dalliances on the side from the start and never nagged
To be fair, a woman who collects art books and armoires is never truly going to be at home on the road with the Stones.
And Mick's family didn't roll out the red carpet for her, regarding their stepmother-in-waiting with detached scepticism.
One person close to the band said to me: 'She wasn't popular with the Stones camp because if L'Wren ever asked you to do something, you would inevitably find it wasn't done exactly to her requirements.'
She was known, perhaps unfairly, as a very high-maintenance fashionista. For instance, she favoured a brand of caffeinated chewing gum called Black Black, which had to be specially imported for her from Japan.
And it was being muttered yesterday that the past few years had seen her go through a number of assistants and other junior staff she felt were not up to scratch.
'She was not what you might call easy-going,' one friend said. 'She would really make people sweat for her.'
But when it came to Mick, it seems, she was a pushover and ready to accept the relationship on the terms he demanded.
Mick's family didn't roll out the red carpet for her, regarding their stepmother-in-waiting with detached scepticism
Jagger said to the New York Times in 2010: 'I don't really subscribe to a completely normal view of what relationships should be. I have a bit more of a bohemian view.'
However, a friend of Mick's said their relationship seemed to suit them both. 'He was never head over heels, like he was with Jerry in the early days, and L'Wren was in some ways quite a cold fish like him, but they were together,' said the friend.
'It suited him to be with her and she was clearly bowled over by him, but in her own very controlled sort of way.'
L'Wren turned a blind eye to Mick's wish to have discreet dalliances on the side from the start, and was wise enough to never nag him to spend time on the same continent as her.
She would instead occupy herself in his absence with various never-ending perfectionist quests. Interior design was an obsession. She would relentlessly search French antique markets for perfect pieces of art deco furniture.
It took her nine months to settle on the correct shade of paint for their drawing room in Paris. In the end she chose four virtually identical shades of grey and lavender for different areas of the room, having observed how they looked at different times and in different weather.
She was exacting to say the least — though at times she would cut loose. One fashionista says that L'Wren would party until the early hours after fashion shows, with an abandon surprising for her age. For all her devotion and hard work, though, her company LS Fashion was in evident difficulty, with debts of more than £5.6 million.
The American media has quoted a source who said she felt 'extreme angst' and 'personally responsible' for all investors and creditors.
L'Wren was found in her Manhattan apartment, and her brother is now there organising the funeral
Mick now faces the impossible sadness of staging a funeral for his lover and best friend
She was not willing to simply walk away, as well as being gravely concerned about her image in the fashion industry.
Mick would, of course, have helped her out if she had ever turned to him. The friend added: 'He knew she wasn't a great businesswoman, but he had no idea about the extent of the debts. But he always supported her, financially and in other ways.'
That L'Wren was under strain cannot be doubted. One magazine executive told me she 'had to work hard to even get the right people to come to her shows.' Her designs were routinely worn by stars at big events, but there were signs that sales had begun to wane.
Of course, now that she has gone, L'Wren is more desirable than ever.
The rails of her clothes in New York's high-end department stores are emptying fast and the distinctive red flasks of perfume marked with her name are positively flying off the shelves.
And Mick, who was planning a triumphant end to his incredible career, finds himself contemplating the impossible sadness of staging a funeral instead.

That's right, pilgrim: save yourself a holiday-beverage-idea brainstorm and just storm your brain (and mouth, and general throat area) with the classic combo you know and love, or don't know but will love, or know and like a lot but you just sort of want to explore and see where it goes. Here's why Captain & Cola's such a brilliant notion this Turkey Day: Â - Cola accentuates the vanilla notes naturally produced during Captain's maturation process - It's quick and easy, meaning you'll have more time to watch football, play football, or imitate an actual football by lying motionless in your closet - Actually, quick means more freedom to do whatever you want, and isn't freedom what we're giving thanks for? That and modern methods of cranberry processing?
While the awesome simplicity of this all sinks in, check out the best ideas ever from other Captains just like yourself (well, paid actors representing people just like yourself) on their YouTube channel, assuming you're not already fast asleep, asking "you know what would be really cool?" in your dreams.

Today, I'd like to ingrain in you the importance of adopting the right beliefs about the market.
Now, I know some of you won't be able to hear this ultra-important message.
That's because your belief is that making money in the markets is all about numbers and indicators and that things like mindset and discipline are not important.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
The more I work with great traders and new investors alike out there, the clearer it becomes that market beliefs and trader mindset are what set apart the "thrivers" from the "strugglers."
I've always liked the statement that we don't trade the markets, we trade our beliefs about the market.
But it only covers part of the picture.
Even more important is that you have beliefs that actually reflect how the markets work.
And to illustrate that point, I want to share a fun experiment with you today…
Debunking Malkiel
One belief that every investor has to overcome is that market movements are random.
This concept is rooted in the long-held belief that all market participants have perfect information and that they all act rationally – all the time.
Here at The 10-Minute Millionaire, we know that's not true. We know that investors fall prey to their emotions constantly and make irrational decisions that we can then profit from.
But we weren't the first ones to test the theory.
In 1988, The Wall Street Journal began a contest that was inspired by Burton Malkiel's book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street."
In the book, the Princeton professor theorized that "a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts."
The WSJ set out to create an entertaining contest to test Malkiel's theory and give its readers some new investment ideas in the process.
Here's how it worked…
No Monkey Business
WSJ staffers, acting as the monkeys, threw darts at a stock table, while investment experts picked their own stocks.
Interestingly, the WSJ actually considered using real monkeys for the dart-throwing task, but the cost and liability issues nixed the plan.
The rules changed modestly early in the contest, but the bulk of the results fell under rules that are as follows…
Each month four "professionals" were given the opportunity to select one stock (long or short) for the following six months.
The stocks had to meet the following criteria:
- Market capitalization must be at least $50 million
- Daily trading volume must be worth at least $100,000
- Price must be at least $2
- Stocks must be listed on the NYSE, AMEX, or Nasdaq, and any foreign stocks must have an ADR
And after 100 contests, the results were in.

My kids have been fighting over who gets to use this Bubble Up to do the dishes! It's fun to pump the dispenser and make lots of bubbles, and the brush is easy to hold when you're really scrubbing baked-on cheese off that casserole dish.
When the dishes are done, a quick wipe down with the multi-surface spray gets the counters and sink sparkling clean!
My husband and kids agree that these Mrs. Meyer's soaps smell the best, and I'm grateful that it's safe for my family. The holiday-scented soaps come in Peppermint and Orange Clove. I can't wait to have a few more bottles sent out with my next Grove shipment!

A short archive snippet aside, predicting with surprising accuracy it should be said, the future of the home computer, Steve Jobs parachutes us straight in at the business end of things.
Mid-conversation, back stage at the launch of the 'revolutionary' new Apple Macintosh computer, Jobs (played well by Michael Fassbender), is discussing and arguing the toss with whomever may be in the room at the time; very much setting the template for director Danny Boyle's biopic of the late, influential Apple maestro.
It's dialogue-heavy. Very heavy in fact.
This of course is not a bad thing per se. Major film releases could certainly benefit from a greater focus on dialogue, it's true, but when does it all become too much?
Essentially, Steve Jobs is a sequence of conversations between the single-minded entrepreneur and those both integral and peripheral to his life. All too frequently these discussions degenerate into bitter arguments when Jobs' ideas, vision or personal life are brought into question.
From Danny Boyle's take on things, it would appear that Jobs was a man that relished a debate, the way one does when absolutely convinced of the correctness of one's actions and motives. Jobs seemed to have no intention of swaying from his point of view. Some will argue that that's very much why he was so successful.
On the receiving end of Jobs' stubborn, fait accompli-esque mind set are, amongst others, his loyal head of marketing, Joanna Hoffman (played well by Kate Winslet, although how it took me until the end of the film to realise it was her, remains a mystery), the long time, long suffering brilliant programming mind behind Apple's until then most successful product, the Apple II computer, Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), and Chrisann Brennan (Katherine Waterston), the mother of Jobs' child whose financial struggles and subsequent histrionics are of constant irritation to the Apple chief who seems almost non-plussed by her plight.
Or perhaps he was just too focussed to notice?
Either way, it is clear that Jobs needed like-minded people around him. His powers of diplomacy with those that didn't 'get him' were somewhat lacking.
It's hard to make up one's mind on this one. It's certainly worthy of a further viewing, if only to fully ingest the true direction of the conversations.
The problem seems to be that a film which is unafraid to be dialogue focussed repeats the trick time and again. One discussion / argument follows another and then another and then another, diluting the impact of both their intensity and content. Significant swathes of the film seemed to somehow pass me by as I tried on a few occasions unsuccessfully to accurately recall what had just happened, and I'm not one to switch off, impatient for the 'action scenes.'
Perhaps it was a lack of concentration on my part? One thing is for sure though, Steve Jobs is hard work. It offers no light respite (normally a good thing), but I feel that it suffers as a result.
Plaudits to Danny Boyle for a brave approach in putting together what appears at least to have been a labour of love; I'd guess that Jobs was someone that Boyle had great affection or at least admiration for? That much seems to be evident.
Certainly the Steve Jobs story, whilst subtle and a bit of a slow burner, is an incredibly clever one, full of cunning, little or no compromise and a sense of tactically mastery and one worthy of the big screen, no doubt.
It's just a shame that to anyone other than absolute aficionados of Jobs' work, it's a film that will go down as heavy-going and ultimately a little unsatisfying.

text: Today I will cover just a little of what I saw room hopping. I did not take many photos this convention, spent more time visiting friends, room hopping and sightseeing. I found most of my finds (which were only a couple of bottles) room hopping. That is when you go hotel room to hotel room with open doors and look at what everyone brought to sell. Also, two dealers set up selling rooms, a conference room, set up with many kind of items. Bottles, books, blotters, posters, cardboard advertising pieces, etc. No mater what you are looking for….you have a chance of finding it while room hopping! Here are a few things I saw:

If you're skipping breakfast to cut calories, stop. A recent British study found that people who eat breakfast are more active, burning about 442 daily calories more than those who go without. "The energy you gain from eating breakfast makes you less lethargic and more likely to move," says study author James Betts, Ph.D., senior lecturer in nutrition at the University of Bath in England. The study didn't rate specific meal ingredients, but experts agree that a balanced breakfast will give you the best boost. "It might take a little more planning to make a meal with fats, protein, and healthy carbs, but it's worth it," says Paula Chandler-Laney, Ph.D., assistant professor in nutrition sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Try these energy-packed formulas, designed by Cynthia Sass, R.D.
Mix and match these nine ingredients into easy-to-make meals that could help you burn 400-plus more calories throughout the day.

Hi Hubby;
Ok I don't know what's going on with you
but you could at least update me as to what you're doing so that I don't
call up to the job expecting to talk to you only to be told that you're "not
in today" & looking stupid, that's very disrespectful on your
part towards me
The reason that I've been calling the past 2 days
is because you had promised to print up the dispatch sheets & other related
stuff so that I can get paid for these assignments, no they're not a lot of
money but it is something & right now this blessing which God has passed on
to me is about to be taken away due to me having to for a 2nd day
lie to these people & tell them that the printer on your job isn't
working so I can't fax over to them the completed sheets
Ps: are you getting the surgery done today since you
didn't get it done yesterday & that's why you're not at
That's very unfair to not keep me posted when I've
asked, your health is my concern both as your wife & as your truest friend
(even if you appear not to appreciate or value that friendship all the time)
most importantly I've never sent you into surgery
without 1st praying (& having others pray as well) that the
doctors involved (by name) that God guides their hands & their brains to do
the very best for you & that God protect you during the surgery &
now I find out I didn't have you covered by proper
prayer yesterday so I'm glad that it wasn't done then &
today the prayers which I did say weren't
specific because I didn't know what to pray for specifically
I don't understand why all of a sudden you feel
that you must hide from me the details about your health
when back in Dec 02 we made promises to each other
during this time of separation
I wouldn't pressure you to come home
& that promise I've tried my best to keep
& have made the hardest effort to not say anything which might be mistaken
as trying to put pressure on you to come home regardless of how I might feel
inside &
you promised to let me go to all of your doctor
appointments & know what's going on for symptoms so that I can keep
all of the doctors updated & we can work as a team to keep you as healthy
as we can for a medical team
(you know how all of the doctors have commented that it's
great that I'm able to keep up with all that's going on &
relate to each of them what the others have said so they can keep all working
together – even doc metersky reminded you of that on the 1st of
may when we went to that 1st appointment since Oct 04!)
What's going on that suddenly you feel that you
must hide from me what's going on? I asked you about your vision before
the appointment on may 1st & you said you were seeing fine, (but
the reason I asked was due to how your eye was red & you seemed to not be
able to read something correctly) I asked you again on the 1st &
the again twice after that, but you lied to me & that really hurts & I'm
not understanding why you would

Becoming a manager for the first time is one of the hardest transitions to navigate through. It becomes extra hard when it happens early in your career while you are still learning the ins and outs of your job. Today's increased pace of growth for companies often means that people with only a few years of experience get put into roles as managers or owners of important initiatives or teams.
The tough thing about becoming a manager for the first time is that instead of being able to figure out your job on your own, you're doing it with your whole team watching. Every move you make is observed and evaluated, and subsequently drives your team's perception of you. Who wouldn't be nervous under that type of scrutiny?
While there isn't a formula for finding your own style and approach as a leader, there is a very obvious change that happens when you become a manager: you are no longer an individual contributor. Yet many people try to apply the same techniques or tactics to management that made them successful as an individual.
Here are 3 important lessons for managers making the transition for the first time.
#1: Lose the Mindset that Time In = Time Out
As cliche as it sounds, don't work harder, work smarter. As an individual contributor, your time spent can have a high correlation to what you produce and what you're evaluated on. A marketing associate at a software company might have goals based on the number of content articles posted, collateral created, campaigns run. When you get promoted, the goals focus on the actual results that those activities generate. It's not how many posts, it's how many people those posts reached. It's not campaigns run, it's how many leads came out of them. No one cares if it took two weeks to design the campaign if no customers convert.
As a new manager you're often also still doing the work you got promoted for. This is one of the toughest habits to break but an important one to prioritize. It's inevitable that there is a period of overlap, but the trap many people fall into is staying on that treadmill of doing all the work themselves while also taking on new management responsibilities. This usually means working longer and longer hours to try to get everything done. This is dangerous because one of the most important things managers need to do is prioritize. When you're exhausted and overworked, it's hard to find the energy and mental capacity to do that effectively. There are lots of tools to prioritize your time, a popular one is Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix.
One of the best things you can do is to make it a goal to get back to a manageable pace of work. Creating time constraints means that you have to make decisions about where to spend your time. Yes, this means that some things don't get done in the short-term. Tasks may take longer to complete as you train or hire someone else to backfill. But that investment has to happen if you ever want to get off the treadmill.
#2: Forget Knowing Everything
Becoming a manager means getting comfortable with the fact that at some point you may no longer know how to do the work of your team. This may feel counterintuitive because people usually get promoted for being the "best" at their job. This isn't a free pass to stop learning and understanding what they are doing. It simply means that you may no longer know exactly which dials and buttons to push to get the account setup or the systems running. This can be intimidating if you think that your job as a manager is to tell people HOW to do their job. It's not. Your role is to set clear priorities and then know enough to help them when they get stuck.
#3: Your Job is No Longer Your Only Priority
A big shift that people miss when they first get promoted is that their only job is their job. Huh? This simply means thinking that as a finance manager you are only responsible for finance. It's a given that you do your job and deliver on the expectations of your team. What's not a given, but often a very real underlying expectation, is that managers think BEYOND their job and teams. e.g. What processes do I need to create with the sales team to bring down our cost of sales? What's really the best budget for the company across all departments?
"Big jobs usually go to men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones." – Theodore Roosevelt
The importance of understanding the roles of each department and how they work together to achieve the company goals is a crucial part of becoming a successful manager. Managers often spend a lot of time cultivating their own teams, but forget that they are now part of a larger team and peer group of managers that run across departments. Building those bridges and demonstrating that you understand the bigger picture are critical skills that senior executives look for in the next level of leadership. Nailing this will show them you understand the broader company objectives while helping your department succeed through the support of other teams.
Managing for the first time will always be a challenge – but hopefully with some of these tips it can give you some insight into how to make that transition more successfully, and with less stress. Now go get 'em!

The integration of yoga into the music curriculum has the potential of offering many immediate and life-long benefits to musicians. Yoga can help address issues such as performance anxiety and musculoskeletal problems, and enhance focus and awareness during musical practice and performance. Although the philosophy of yoga has many similarities to the process of learning a musical instrument, the benefits of yoga for musicians is a topic that has gained attention only recently. This document explores several ways in which the practice and philosophy of yoga can be fused with saxophone pedagogy as one way to prepare students for a …
