Boo Weekley is a fairly big dude on the PGA Tour at six-feet tall and 210 pounds. Yet his putter's length is two inches shorter than the "standard" putter that your local golf shop is trying to sell you.
Indeed, Weekley's putter is a 33-inch Never Compromise Exchange Series 7 model, while the majority of putters on the retail rack are 35 inches long, which is still considered the standard for men.
PutterZone.com fields a lot of reader inquiries into the subject of putter length. It's clearly on many people's minds as more and more golfers embrace the concept of custom fitting.
Just yesterday on the practice green, I saw a man standing bolt upright while putting, as if his putter were a pogo stick. This guy measured about five-feet seven-inches tall. No doubt, he'd been sold a 35-inch putter by someone who should know better. In other words, while this guy was about five inches shorter than Boo Weekley, his putter was two inches longer than Weekley's. Something is definitely wrong with this picture.
The truth is that the "standard" of 35 inches for men was established simply because it allowed a putter to peek out of a golf bag at the point of purchase, which is how clubs were originally presented at retail. The result today is that many recreational golfers are playing with putters that are simply too long for their physiques, specifically in terms of achieving a proper putting setup.
Word is definitely getting out that there's an accepted shift toward 34 inches average for men and 33 inches average for women. But this shift has yet to make a big dent at the retail level, both in terms of stock putters and those who are selling them.
None of this means that you should automatically use a 33-inch putter just like Boo Weekley. But you sure might want to explore a 34-inch putter, or even a 33-inch putter, if you have a 35-inch putter that's interfering with a proper setup.
So what's a proper setup? That's a subject for another day, and one that some would say is open to debate or interpretation. For now, let's just agree that if you're of average or shorter (or perhaps even taller) height, you really should question the "standard" and investigate the subject of setup before making an expensive putter purchase.
Some men might simply have a hard time walking out of a golf shop with a comparatively short 33-inch putter. It might not be the most macho feeling—but you'll feel pretty macho when you sink that last putt for the low score of the day, right?

Water Safety and Health Tips2 Comments
Whether it's a summer holiday or a winter escape, beaches are a no-brainer when you need to get away for some minimally dressed relaxation and fun. But there are also certain precautions that you should take in order to stay safe. The beach is no place for stress and worry, so heed the following tips and avoid unnecessary risks.
Fresh Water vs. Salt Water
Some of us prefer the sea, others inland lakes and rivers. And fresh and salt water have significant differences when it comes to questions of tides, currents, contamination, and microbes. Freshwater lakes, rivers and ponds can host certain parasites, like schistosomiasis (aka bilharzia) and flesh-eating amoebas, not found in salt water. Avoid warm, stagnant bodies of water, which are prone to bacterial blooms and other harmful micro-organisms such as amoebas. In addition, try to keep your head above water when swimming in fresh water, and if you do go under, close your mouth and pinch your nose shut. Finally, avoid stirring up too much sediment on the bottom of rivers, ponds and lakes, which can increase your risk of exposure to bacteria.
Salt water is less prone to bacterial blooms, but if it's warm enough, it will harbour some bacteria species which can cause infections, especially via open cuts or sores (one, vibrio vulnicifus, has just been the subject of health warnings in Florida). Outbreaks typically occur in specific areas, so I'd strongly recommend you check with the relevant local authorities at your destination to see if there are any water health advisories in effect.
And whether you are swimming in freshwater or saltwater, avoid getting in the water with any open cuts or sores. And be sure to thoroughly rinse yourself when you're done swimming.
Oceans present another issue in the form of rising and falling tides, and undertows which can knock you off your feet. Knowing when tides come in and out is an important aspect of water safety, and many beaches where there are breaking waves can also have rip currents (some people also call them rip tides) moving away from shore, that can be hazardous to swimmers who panic in reaction to them or try to fight them. While freshwater bodies lack tides, in some rivers you still need to pay attention to currents, which can be affected by multiple factors, including weather. Especially in areas without lifeguards, and especially if you're a non-swimmer or novice swimmer, never underestimate rough surf or fast-moving water.
In this day and age, sadly, pollution is all too often a problem, as well. The health of the oceans and coral reefs is increasingly under stress over wide swaths of the planet, but some beaches locally have been more susceptible than others to disease-causing bacteria from sources like local sewage runoff, and not just on the ocean; this can be even more of a problem in more contained bodies of water like lakes, ponds, and rivers. Again, check with local tourism and health authorities before leaving home.
In fact, that advice goes for every aspect of swimming: Researching your destination ahead of time and following up with specific local advice, will help you better understand the possible risks.
Where the Wild Things Are
When it comes to wildlife, most people are preoccupied with a certain type of large predatory fish. Sharks can indeed be dangerous, but despite increased publicity especially of late, shark attacks are really quite rare, and there are many more pedestrian threats lurking. Jellyfish, spiny sea urchins and sharp coral are responsible for countless more aquatic injuries. Jellyfish in particular merit caution, because they are numerous, on the rise throughout the oceans thanks to climate change, and deliver stings that range from annoying to fatal (more people die every year from them than from sharks). The Portuguese Man o' War (right) is a common example in various parts of the world, which won't kill you but does pack a painful punch.
And it's not just saltwater which harbours potentially dangerous wildlife. The most legendary example is probably the Amazon River piranha. But actually, while there have been recorded attacks on humans and even deaths from these toothy but rather small fish, their reputation has been greatly exagerrated, with incidents rarely resulting in death, and in any case tending to occur during dry seasons when water levels are low and the fish are more concentrated in their river environments.
But perhaps the other most problematic critters in the water besides jellies are crocodiles, found in rivers and lakes throughout Asia, Africa, and Australia. They're are fast, can be hard to spot, and you'll want to avoid taking a dip around areas where land animals come to drink, because that's where crocs are more likely to be lurking in wait for them.
Most other potentially "dangerous" animals you might encounter in watery situations are, as they say, more scared of you than you are of them. They would include varieties of snakes and eels – for example, sea snakes such as blue-and-black -banded Belcher's (northern Australia and southeast Asia); moray and electric eels (the latter of which aren't true eels); and water moccasins in the southern United States (you can recognise them by the way they swim along the surface of the water). Most of the above are quite shy, and only attack in self-defense or if startled. Same goes for other toothy or venomous fish you might encounter while snorkeling, such as spiny lionfish or barracuda (in the case of the latter, you might want to make sure not to wear any jewelry underwater; it might glint, thus resembling the silvery flash of a fish a barracuda might want to have a chomp at).
In general, when it comes to wildlife, it's very important to respect certain boundaries. Whether you are swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving, do not touch any animals, do not make aggressive movements towards any sea creature, and it's not a good idea to poke about underwater nooks and crannies, the likeliest places to find such creatures hiding out. Above all, be sure to solicit and pay attention to local advice about about where and where not to swim and how to conduct yourself in the water.
Water Sports
Water provides the perfect medium for a variety of fun activities. Many of these activities have do carry a certain amount of risk, so it's critical that you know what you're doing training beforehand (for example, scuba diving requires certification from a licensed dive instructor, with classes and examination including both practical and theoretical elements). Regardless of the activity, you should also not go off on your own. Use the buddy system and sign up for activities offered by reputable tour operators with proven safety records.
And when you go out on these activities, whether it's kayaking, canoing, surfing, snorkeling, diving, or motorised water sports (more about them below), please avoid doing so after taking in alcohol or any other mood-altering substance – as tempting as it may sometimes be since you're on holiday. Coordination and judgment can be severely affected, and in a medium where drowning is always a risk, you particularly need to have your wits about you.
Another particular dicey area is motorised water sports. This especially includes those increasingly popular "personal water craft" in many resort areas these days with brand names like Jet Ski, Wave Runner, and See-Doo. These are certainly lots of fun, and quite easy to operate for people with no experience, but they're also serious machines weighing hundreds of pounds and reaching speeds of up to 65 miles per hour (105 kph). Careless driving has resulted in severe injury and death, both for operators and for people in the water. And in the case of these water craft as with more conventional motor boats, alcohol is sometimes a factor. In either case, as on land, never drink and drive.
When it comes to all the above, the last thing you want to do on vacation is have to head to a medical center because of a water-related injury or accident. Research your destination ahead of time, take note of specific aquatic risks and be prepared to follow advice from reputable sources on the ground. Don't overextend yourself and avoid the avoidable: steer clear of any wildlife, and also, as I pointed out in this blog last last week, watch out for the sun, too!
One final word: Please don't let all this scare you! In life there are risks in getting out of bed and driving down the street. The key is to understand what's out there and mitigate them as much as you can. That way you can enjoy your holidays in safety and with true peace of mind.

My boyfriend listens to everything his sister says, & she tells him how to go about things in the relationship and always telling him how I feel without even knowing how I feel. She's always in are business and he tells her everything. He tells her about our sex life and eveything. Lately, she has told him that I'm cheating on him and it's not true and he keeps asking me and checking my phone and things like that. What should I do about it? I feel like he doesn't have a opinion for himself.
Most Helpful Guy
She is a bitch for doing that, and he is a jerk for believing it. And it does not sound like either will change. If I was you I would tell him that you have been faithful and are tired of him believing lies about you and checking into your phone, etc. He either starts trusting you or hit the road.11|00|0
It really feels like she is in the relationship, she has even asked him to be in the birthing room with her while she would birth the baby. What should I say to him?
- Show AllShow Less
Seeing her "privates" as in her walking by is not that odd in some families, but nothing like the up close and personal of giving birth. But the view aside, not many women would choose a brother to be in the room with them. Anyway, I gave my advice and I stick by it. Make a choice.
I know that. I'm talking about as in her giving birth does he find that weird.

Go Sarah!
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took to Facebook and Twitter Monday to assert her message to the Islamic State, which issued a fatwa – or religious decree – that authorizes its members to kill newborn babies with Down Syndrome, congenital deformities, and disabled children.
"Note to muslim terrorists: Over my dead body," posted Palin, whose 6-year-old son Trig has Down Syndrome.
Above a photo of herself and her son on Facebook, Palin quoted a verse from St. Paul's letter to the Romans 8:31 – "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Yay, I have made it to day 6 on the hCG Diet. I do not really view this as a diet, but as a learning tool to properly re-adjust my eat portions.
One thing we all forget as we get older is portion control. We can really eat whatever we would like as long as we know when to STOP. That is my main problem, I sometimes forget when to stop and say I have had enough. I mean who can eat just 2 cookies. NOT ME, after I am done with this re-adjusting I am doing, I will be able to eat just 2 cookies and be done with it. I will know how to savor every taste that is in those 2 cookies.
This is not an easy diet, but then again nothing in life is easy. If it was I wouldn't be fat, I would get up every morning ready to go, hitting the elliptical machine at full power. However, that is not the case, I am fat, I am lazy and all parts of my body seem to move at a slow rate.
This is all about to change, I have decided I can no longer life like this, I have been fat all my teen and adult life, I want to see what I look like thin, I want to walk down the street and have heads turn. I never had that chance in school, I was always the fat girl. Not fun!
So on to day 6, I do not at all feel hungry, I am making myself eat only because I do not want to cause issues later down the road. This is a 500 calorie diet, and I am only consuming about 350. I also have been doing small workouts through out the day. This is not recommended because exercise will only make you hungry, well I have enough fat on me to survive a good 2 months before I die of starvation. Just kidding I am starting I am very content.

In June 2007, a group of medical experts convened at Stanford University to discuss improved technology for imaging patients with "disorders of consciousness," such as vegetative and minimally conscious states, that can occur after brain injury. "One of the challenges we identified is responding to desperate calls from families requesting an fMRI scan for a loved one in a limited state of consciousness," says Judy Illes, Ph.D., formerly at Stanford and now professor of neurology and Canada Research Chair in neuroethics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Dr. Illes and her colleagues developed this FAQ for families. Back to Top | Article Outline 1. What is brain imaging? Brain imaging allows doctors to view and monitor areas of the brain. Images can be produced using structural imaging techniques—magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed axial tomography (CAT)—or functional imaging strategies such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional MRI (fMRI). Structural imaging identifies abnormalities such as strokes, bleeding, and tumors, while functional imaging evaluates how the brain is working. These measurements are based on the flow of blood and levels of oxygen in specific brain regions. Back to Top | Article Outline 2. Can brain imaging be used to determine whether someone is conscious? There are currently no diagnostic tests capable of detecting whether someone is conscious. Specialized rating scales and imaging techniques have been developed to investigate the likelihood that someone is processing information consciously, but neither approach provides definitive evidence of consciousness or unconsciousness. Doctors currently rely on bedside exams to diagnose disorders of consciousness. Figure Back to Top | Article Outline 3. Should I enroll a family member who has brain injury in an imaging study? Find out what is involved before enrolling your family member by talking to your doctor and the scientist requesting your consent. Most studies pose minimal risk to the patient, whose participation can add important knowledge to the understanding of disorders of consciousness. Knowledge is gained every day about how the brain works, so you can expect ever-improving diagnosis of and treatment for brain injury. However, these studies are experimental, which means you can't expect to learn new information about the person's condition or to use the information to make decisions about his or her care. Make the choice by thinking about whether the person would have volunteered. —Mike SmolinskyCopyright © 2008, AAN Enterprises, Inc.

Hey New York! On February 4th we're hosting a rad showcase at Our Wicked Lady. Want more details? You'll find them here.
Sounds like: Perseus, Moon Boots, The Magician, Wild Belle
Why do we like this?
Many of us have already fallen under the spell of the sisters Haim. Their saucy vocals combined with a solid folk-pop backdrop leave fans in a state of illusion, hankering for more.
While it comes as no surprise that producers have taken the time to add the remix treatment to some of their tracks, one that has stood out among the rest is by one of our favorite remix artists of the moment, Cyril Hahn.
This version of "Don't Save Me" is taken up a couple notches to a livelier place, where eighties fluorescents, soaring electronics and ladies night intermingle. You might think that Cyril's signature flow is preoccupied with the upbeat nature of the track, but as many producers have shown us, grandeur lies within their collection of diversity.

text: Apache Spark 2.0 Memory Management Apache Spark 2.0 Memory Management December 25, 2016 Summary for https://0x0fff.com/spark-memory-management/: Initial Storage Memory region size, as you might remember, is calculated as "Spark Memory" * spark.memory.storageFraction = ("Java Heap" "Reserved Memory") * spark.memory.fraction * spark.memory.storageFraction. With default values, this is equal to ("Java Heap" – 300MB) * 0.75 * 0.5 = ("Java Heap" – 300MB) * 0.375. For 4GB heap this would result in 1423.5MB of RAM in initial Storage Memory region. (218) This whole pool is split into 2 regions – Storage Memory and Execution Memory, and the boundary between them is set by spark.memory.storageFraction parameter, which defaults to 0.5. The advantage of this new memory management scheme is that this boundary is not static, and in case of memory pressure the boundary would be moved, i.e. one region would grow by borrowing space from another one. (212) In Spark 1.6.0 the size of this memory pool can be calculated as ("Java Heap" "Reserved Memory") * (1.0 – spark.memory.fraction), which is by default equal to ("Java Heap" – 300MB) * 0.25. For example, with 4GB heap you would have 949MB of User Memory. (203) This implies that if we use Spark cache and the total amount of data cached on executor is at least the same as initial Storage Memory region size, we are guaranteed that storage region size would be at least as big as its initial size, because we won't be able to evict the data from it making it smaller. (203) Its size can be calculated as ("Java Heap" "Reserved Memory") * spark.memory.fraction, and with Spark 1.6.0 defaults it gives us ("Java Heap" – 300MB) * 0.75. For example, with 4GB heap this pool would be 2847MB in size. (198) But it is not so for the Storage Memory – it is just a cache of blocks stored in RAM, and if we evict the block from there we can just update the block metadata reflecting the fact this block was evicted to HDD (or simply removed), and trying to access this block Spark would read it from HDD (or recalculate in case your persistence level does not allow to spill on HDD). (195) As of Spark 1.6.0, its value is 300MB, which means that this 300MB of RAM does not participate in Spark memory region size calculations, and its size cannot be changed in any way without Spark recompilation or setting spark.testing.reservedMemory, which is not recommended as it is a testing parameter not intended to be used in production. (165) Spark Memory For example, with 4GB heap this pool would be 2847MB in size. (161) However, if your Execution Memory region has grown beyond its initial size before you filled the Storage Memory region, you won't be able to forcefully evict entries from Execution Memory, so you would end up with smaller Storage Memory region while execution holds its blocks in memory. (156) Due to nature of Execution Memory, you cannot forcefully evict blocks from this pool, because this is the data used in intermediate computations and the process requiring this memory would simply fail if the block it refers to won't be found. (155) Best words: memory (68) spark (45) pool (17) storage (16) execution (14) size (13) data (10) article (9) region (9)

Explore The Adventurous Side Of You
Adventure. Do you actually remember the word? When was the last time you went out for some real adventures? Well, you might be having some wrong perceptions about �adventure�, considering your everyday life in this concrete jungle as one big adventure (in a way, you may call it an adventure). Well if that is the case, you need to think twice over it.
Let�s get back to the adventures that we define here and see the difference from the real adventures � that requires high adrenaline.
Climbing staircase (that too, once in a while, when your elevator is not working) doesn�t count as an adventure. Your computer mouse doesn�t come under wildlife. Standing under the shower is not same as standing under the waterfall. Wondering in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city is miles of freshness away from getting lost in the thick lush green jungle.
Which floor do you live in? Well, you might enjoy the height that you live in but never ever compare that with the heavenly mountains � standing tall and proud. So just pump up your adrenaline, head for a real adventure, feel the nature, defy the law of gravity�
When you are heading for a mountaineering trip, follow the instructions of the guide properly to avoid any mishap. Wear comfortable and convenient clothes � for e.g. Cargo pants, multi-pocketed jackets, good hiking shoes. Carry all the basic accessories but make sure it�s not overweighed. But before starting off, get medically examined. Also ensure that at least one or two members of the team have experience of high altitude climbing.
Rock Climbing
It�s always fun to try something new in life. And what can be more exciting than climbing the steep rocky mountain. It might look quite scary, but then what is life without some challenges? Of course, you�ve seen Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible with all those actions. Well he had a mission. And here, your mission is to feel the thrill.
For such adventure, it�s definitely not a cakewalk. First you need to sign up for basics with an experienced instructor. Climbing is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury, so proper training and equipment before attempting this activity is seriously recommended.

No matter how colourful or fast your life gets in the city, you surely need to escape from it at least once in a year. It�s time to feel the nature. It�s time you realise that it�s not just humans that the world belongs to. Indeed, there�s nothing like exploring� making your vision broader.
However, few things are needed to know before taking the wild side. Learn about the place � the culture, the habitat, various types of species found and their behaviour. Make sure you are under an experienced guide. Never take chances with wildlife, even the cutest looking species might turn out to be dangerous.
High speed, high energy, high life... just what rafting is all about. Racing with the current. Waters splashing all over you. Not a single word but the sound of water hitting the rocks. Isn�t it amazing when your mind is free for once and you feel nothing but yourself, accompanied by the force of nature. But before you head for this mind-boggling activity, enrol with an experienced group that organises rafting. Make sure that you don�t have any physical ailment. Don�t take chances if don�t know how to swim. And most importantly, the high-powered spirit is all it takes.

Project 365
I take a photo a day as part of my Project 365. It helps me stay connected to the camera and my surroundings and forces me to produce photos even through dry creativity spells.
It's also a great way to look back at my year, once it's concluded. I'm in my forth year and every time the year ends I look back at the photos an wonder how did it go so fast. I always remember doing what I'm doing in the pictures like it was yesterday.
Sure, you have to be a little crazy to commit yourself to taking one photo EVERY day but once you start you don't want to stop. It helps if you have a drive to document your everyday life, to save all you can from the present. I have that since I was five so I'm OK. Hehe.
At first I couldn't wrap my head around the "burden" so I made a trial of taking 31 photos in 31 days.
I loved the result very much but it was hard. It compelled me to be creative because, lets face it, our lives aren't always consecutive photo opp moments.
But it's my life, I should be true to what's going on, or not going on. Sometimes I just had to take a picture of my cat and be happy I have one!
At this point, after four non consecutive years, I just cut myself some slack and skip some days. I prefer to do that than to put up a sub par photo. But I'm starting to think that is just an excuse not to be creative and it's making me reevaluate my laziness.
In this post I chose some examples of photos I wouldn't have taken if I never started the Project.

Discussion in '1st Generation (1999-2006)' started by robkey123, Thursday 23rd Oct, 2014.
What are the best performance mods I can do to my HR-V?
Forced induction? Lol
I guess that depends on what you are planning to do with it. What is your ultimate aim with her?
And budget also!
"Best" is a pretty broad scope, what are you wanting to achieve?
a bit more speed to shame so boy racer types lol thinking of lowering a bit seeing as its the 2 wheel drive
The thing is with the D16W1, it's one of the non-VTEC engines, no matter what you do with breathing mods, intake, header, exhaust etc. you're never going to have a fast car. You can look into head swaps with some of the VTEC D-Series, but I still don't think it's cost effective, and you're still not going to go putting other cars to shame.
The two real ways to power are either turbo, where 200hp is fairly easy to get to without worrying about the engine holding up - or you could just drop a B16 or B18 engine into it (EK9/DC2 Type-R) and have an easy 160-180hp for half the cost.
think i will keep a look out for a VTEC model or a complete car with a good engine and do the swop
cheers guys
The 4WD model with the D16W5 is VTEC, however the extra 20 or so horsepower will be lost on the back axle no doubt. Unfortunately the HR-V was never sold with a larger engine than a D16 so it is down to a complete swap.
picking up this old thread since i am in the same search of moore power ,, and a goal on aprox 200 HP ( il got the 1999 4x4 HR-V with 105 HP D16W1 engine ) .. but since whats makes difrence is the torgue ,, HP sells cars ,, TQ moves them i want to increse the tq and the best moust cost effective is a turbo or supercharger ,, ,, so basicly im in search of recomendations of stuff as will be able to use on this car ,, is theres some kit to but ans start modyfie from ? i looked at the US market and ebay and they seldom even know of HR-V s of this age
That's a lot of horsepower increase the easiest and cheapest would be turbo charge method otherwise a lot of modifications to get that power increase, tuning with cold air, custom exhaust and remap will give you around 50 BHP.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
I do don't think you will find much if anything on the US market as they didn't have the 1st Generation over there.
I don't know if increasing power,torque or whatever won't come without its problems, you have to remember that most of these cars are now 17-18 years old and parts are hard to come by, so if something breaks in the process of increasing the power in the long run is it going to be more costly..
I know that the Joy Machine (2WD) version had a lot of issues early doors because of driveshafts and CV joints failing as owners thought they had bought a 4WD and could just go off road. Once they got up to their axles in mud the poor things just wouldn't go and things started to break. And 18 years on are these parts going to be in top class condition? I think not.
Any modification can cause more load on engine thats why stock engines are built with tolerance factor, if you squeeze out more out of a old engine as @MickyB said you may see some parts fail while your vehicle may go faster, there is more to story as terms state any advice given is only an opinion there is no guarantee and modifications are at owners risk !
am familjar with the risks ,, but i know this car since lots of years .. its been a friend of mines as sadly dided on the hospital and i was given this car of hes mother ,, i had serv this cars for manny years before that and it hasent pased 12000 europian miles yet so its not any exensive wear ,, i just replace the watherpump and the cambelt ,, and included a new clutch , new brakes (rotors and pads , rebulid the calipers ) and new brakes in the back ,, and so far iv seen noting else that needs replacement but it aint no problem ,, wehn it comes i just fix it ,, even it the engine ET damage you find better used on the scrapyard for small money
If its low mileage and in good condition, sell it and by a Type-R. Job done.
sweet sollution ,,, do they come lifted and with 4x4 ? ,,, the HR-V is quite odd and my dougther loves is ,, im not in to make it a ferrari ,, like it as it is exept the power out of the engine ,, could it really bee that hard to understund ?
I have a 02 HR-V and I love it to bits every one keeps telling me it not a proper 4x4 but they forgot to tell the car! it does every thing a4x4 is supposed to do and some and its as tough as old boots. Its ok to try and get more out of an engine but remember every thing come at a price. More power =shorter life span I change the oil and filter on every MOT and give it a dose of redx once a year. And I try to keep the RPM at or below 3000rpm all of which help to extend the engine life

Why the Teal Pumpkins you ask?
This is an awareness campaign. It's as much about symbolism, thoughtfulness, and emotional support as anything else.
Teal Pumpkins are quickly becoming as easily recognized for food allergy awareness as a multi-colored puzzle piece is for autism or a pink ribbon for breast cancer.
When you see a teal colored pumpkin any time of year, food allergy families hope you'll take a moment to pause and remember the kids whose everyday lives are spooked by the fear of accidentally coming into contact with commonly eaten foods that can put their lives at immediate risk and the hope they have for improved management, treatment, and eventually a cure for their disease.
Of course, moms of kids with food allergies have and still will create their own alternative traditions to keep their kids safe and included on Halloween, like scavenger hunts and Switch Witches, but teal pumpkins send a message and tell a story. They start conversations and remind us that there is more going on in the world than what we face or deal with in our own individual lives.
Teal pumpkins help create unity and encourage us to think sincerely about others before ourselves. Nobody is expected or required to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project, but when you do, you send a heartwarming message that you care and we love you for it!
But on Halloween, it's not just about the kids with food allergies. Kids affected by diabetes, autism, celiac disease, childhood obesity, or on other special diets also benefit from non-food options when trick or treating.
And let's not forget that when parents see their kids return home with heavy bags full of loot, they may be a little grateful to discover that not all of it will be contributing to a month-long sugar coma… perhaps their kids will consume just a little bit less sugar this year!
So the next time you see a teal pumpkin, remember the bigger picture of what this is all about. You might even choose to make a donation to our cause in honor of the answers food allergy families seek every day. And if you choose simply to take the pledge, you'll be joining over 100,000 other families committing to create a safer, happier Halloween for all by choosing to offer non-food treats for trick-or-treaters this year.
Thank you for your positive support!

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – For many people, the past few days have been all about hitting the stores for the best possible sales.
There's Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and finally, Cyber Monday.
Tuesday, however, is all about giving back.
Giving Tuesday is part of a global movement that gets people, businesses and organizations to come together and encourage generosity.
One group that benefits greatly from contributions on Giving Tuesday is the United Way.
The United Way of Mahoning County's Success After 6 program helps kids in the area further their education, all while having fun and helping them prepare for the future.
"They're not just sitting around bored. They're not just left unattended. There is something positive for them to do. Things that some of the kids wouldn't be able to afford if they were to do it on their own. This program allows them to experience those things," said Jasmine Hampton, whose son is in the program.
There are several ways to get involved locally on Tuesday.
United Way of Trumbull County is hosting a dine out event in which several restaurants will donate a certain percent of your bill to United Way to help provide turkeys for local families. Participating restaurants include:
- Barrel33 of Howland, providing 20 percent of dine-in revenue sales, including alcohol. Carry-outs and retail sales are excluded. Must provide mobile or physical flyer or mention this promotion at the time of purchase.
- Chipotle of Warren, providing 50 percent of revenue sales. Must provide mobile or physical flyer or mention this promotion at the time of payment. Gift card purchase are excluded; however purchases made with an existing gift card will apply.
- Chuck E. Cheese of Warren, providing 15 percent of revenue sales from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Must provide mobile or physical flyer or mention this promotion at the time of purchase.
- PizzaFire of Warren, providing 20 percent of all revenue sales. No flyer required
- Subway of Niles, providing 20 percent of revenue sales. Must provide mobile or physical flyer or mention this promotion at the time of purchase.
- Texas Roadhouse of Warren, providing 10 percent revenue sales between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m. Must provide mobile or physical flyer or mention this promotion at the time of purchase. A canned good and non-perishable food collection is also being held in conjunction with this event. ring in one item and receive a coupon for a free smothered steak or loaded baked potato per adult entrée purchase.
- Quaker Steak & Lube of Warren/Cortland, providing 10 percent of all revenue sales. No flyer required.
Catholic Charities and the Diocese of Youngstown is hosting Sip & Shop Pop-Up Boutique. During the event, you can create your own hot beverage and shop from local artisans and vendors, with proceeds helping families in need.
Plus, several mentorship programs for local students are funded by United Way, thanks to your Giving Tuesday donations.
To help the United Way, visit the Mahoning County's or Trumbull County's organization websites.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine offered the following tips when making charitable donations to avoid scams:
- Develop a giving plan. Determine which charities you want to support. Respond to unexpected or unwanted requests by explaining that you already have a giving plan. Invite other groups to provide you with written information so you can evaluate their requests.
- Research charities. Find out if an organization is registered with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, verify its tax-exempt status with the IRS's Exempt Organizations Select Check, and gather data from organizations such as the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Watch and Charity Navigator. View the organization's IRS Form 990 on Guidestar. Review program descriptions, expenses, compensation levels, and other details. Conduct a basic internet search to review a group's accomplishments or questionable activity.
- Ask how your donation will be used. Keep in mind that some charitable giving requests come from professional solicitors who are paid to collect donations. Solicitors should identify themselves, and if you ask, tell you what percentage of your donation will go to the charity. Also contact charities directly to find out how they use donations. Get information in writing. Compare a charity's materials with information you gather from other sources.
- Watch for red flags. Be wary of high-pressure tactics, requests for checks made out to an individual (instead of a charity), and people who are unable or unwilling to answer questions about their organization. Don't provide your credit card number or other personal information to callers who contact you unexpectedly.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day! Please give every mother you know a hug and a kiss today. The world is a beautiful place filled with goodness, patience and love because there are mothers who raised kind, patient and loving children.
We love you Nanay!
Meet my Nanay who has a big and pure heart. She devoted all her life taking care of me and my brother. We are so lucky because Nanay is a housewife and she's ALWAYS there every second of our lives (birthdays, graduation, prom, field trips, hospitalization, etc.) Now that she has three grandchildren, her love and caring nature never falters.
We had an advanced Mother's day celebration earlier. We just pigged out on our favorite Mexican food, at Mexicali. Gwen loves Arroz ala Cubana so much! Tomorrow, we'll attend a Jollibee birthday party. And I'm so excited because I can feast on yummy Jollibee Choco Float on Mother's day. You should really try the choco float, and I'm not paid on saying this ha!
What are your plans this Mother's Day?

One 'entity' has reported and several have confirmed that the us $ box is full N fact ... Over FULL....
Yes, a surplus! HUMMMM.... We "believe" that the ust (after 100 years and a few weeks) has finally gone back to work! One can only wonder and speculate at what the heck they are about in THERE....

I am feeling really self conscious right now and I feel like when I get married I'll be too big to be carried over the alter like other weddings. I'm 5'5", 130lbs, my bust is 35", my waist is 28" and my hips are 35". Am I big?
Most Helpful Guy
According to the blog on webmd, you are thinner than average:
"Today, the average American woman is 5'4″, has a waist size of 34-35 inches and weighs between 140-150 lbs, with a dress size of 12-14"
It sounds like your measurements are great.11|00|0
Wow!! That is a huge confidence boost, I know my dress size is 10! I feel big but it's really nice to know I'm okay!! Thank you!!
You're welcome. One problem is that the media is populated by with what amounts to the thinnest 1% of women in the US. We need to have visibility for more average women so that girls don't grow up with skewed body images.
Very true, especially when you have girls like me, that are really self conscious about how they look, it definitely would be nice to see what a real girl looks like!

Haircare is intimate. I like to say that it's like the panty drawer of your bathroom. No one really knows what it's in there that makes your hair glow like a silk sheet, but they'd like to! And the truth is is that it's really personal. In fact, I felt the true impact of just how personal hair is to a person when a salon destroyed my hair last year. I had to go through one hell of a process to get it to where it is now.
But throughout the horrific process, I realized how much I valued my hair and how it made me feel. Studies are showing that having a good hair day, through psychologically factors, actually impacts the work that we do.
I valued my hair and how it made me feel
So I went from having virgin, black, asian hair my whole life, to a horrific color disaster, to the lustrous blonde bob I have today (thanks Aveda and Civello Salons!). And what I've learnt is that it's maintenance. But it doesn't have to be high maintenance.
Throughout the year I went through tons of products. I gave each their fair amount of time for a proper test… and I came out with some winners that I'm sure are staying in my hair-drawer for a while.
Ever since having colored/bleached hair, I was always nervous to wash my hair more than once a day. It became a celebration the longer I waited because I was "saving my hair" from becoming dried out. I think a lot of women feel this way.
I just started to try Pantene Pro-V's newly launched formula, and I think it solves our problems. The technology works from the inside out (depositing nutrients into your hair fibers instead of just coating the surface of it) and leaves your hair really silky (even in the shower – y'know that "just rinsed my conditioner feeling") and really shiny. It doesn't dry out your hair like most shampoos do.
It's a perfect go-to daily product!
There are 2 things us color lovers are sensitive to: 1) how much our hair looks like hay, and 2) how long our colors last (salon appointment costs can rack up!). And these 2 products have been a lasting life line for me. I use the Shu Uemura Color Lustre Balm to maintain my cool blonde and get rid of brassy tones.
I use the Aveda Damage Remedy Conditioner twice a week to restore the health of my hair. Aveda products also smell like a spa, so I typically use it on days that I'm feeling stressed.
When we color our hair – we damage it. The truth is, to get that lustrous shiny pastel color, you're essentially stripping everything out of your hair to allow for that light color to be deposited properly. And when you're starting from a baseline like mine (the darkest black Asian hair in the market), it basically means I'm stripping my hair down to its bare bones. So yeah, it's not exactly "good" for our hair.
The Résistance line is your savior if you're in the same boat as me. It's actually made to restore damage from long-term coloring or chemical processes with new technology that revives your hair. I can attest to the fact that it's changed my really brittle bleached-to-the-max hair to something pretty silky again.
If you're just looking for some luxury care for your hair, especially if your hair is looking dull or really dry, then this is the Kérastase line for you. I was using this when I first started coloring my hair (but before it was severely damaged like it is now). If you ombre your hair every once in a while, but not often, you'll like Nutritive.
It's super nourishing (in case you didn't notice from the name of the line) and is designed to have your hair silky smooth to the touch. Think soft like baby-hair, but on your adult head! It also smells like a dream (like all of the Kérastase products).
These are 2 of my absolute must-haves, no matter what condition my hair is in. I use both of the them extremely regularly, if not at least once a day.
I don't think much needs to be said about the Moroccanoil product. It's a legacy brand known for this product specifically. This bottle will also last me a full year, despite how much I use it. I find that just one pump is good enough to make a difference for my whole head. A styling trick is if you're looking for that super high-fashion slicked back look, skip the gel and go for this product to slick your hair back with light hair spray to lock it in. When you rinse it out, it'll be like you just did a hair mask.
The Aveda Dry Shampoo is one of my favourite dry shampoos. Mostly because of its size (I put it in my purse and carry it around with me everywhere), but also because of its scent. It has 25 pure flower and plant essences (think lavender, petitgrain, and ylang ylang), so it really gives you a sense of calm. This is on top of the fact that it's bomb as a dry shampoo. Its powder is naturally derived and absorbs all that excess oil and impurities without looking like you put baby powder in your hair.
The reality of today's hair trends is that color is here to stay… processing is here to stay… and crazy heat products are here to stay. That means we need to protect our hair. We might not bald like our gender counter parts, but the way our hair looks and feels has a direct correlation to our confidence. It's a scientifically proven fact.
This range of products goes from super cheap and drugstore accessible to a bit more luxurious, but there's something for everyone. Here's to having fabulous hair to match our fabulous selves!

Team Israel has a short turnaround for Game 2 of the 2017 World Baseball Classic. After a late night game with host South Korea, they will turn around and play an early game Tuesday against Chinese Taipei.
Getting the start for Jerry Weinstein's (@JWonCatching) Team Israel will be Corey Baker, a farmhand of the St. Louis Cardinals. Baker pitched last season in AA and AAA going 5-11 on the year with an ERA of 5.68. He will face a potent lineup for Chinese Taipei.
Baker's opponent on the mound will be Chun-lin Kuo for Chinese Taipei. Kuo pitched in 2016 in the Nippon Professional Baseball league with the Seibu Lions where he went 0-3 with an ERA over 8. In two seasons in Japan, Kuo is 3-10 with an ERA of 6.00.
Players to watch:
Ike Davis – Look for the big power hitting lefty to get a start against the right handed starter. Davis is just a few seasons removed from hitting 32 homers for the New York Mets. He has struggled a bit in the past few years, but still poses a threat at the plate.
Sam Fuld – Fuld was everywhere it seemed in Game 1. Defensively he is still great in centerfield showing that with a diving save of a double off the bat of Dae-ho Lee. He will be a big part of the Israel offense moving forward if he can set the table.
Zach Borenstein – He had a big double in Game 1 off lefty starter Won-jun Chang. He could provide the power needed from the left side of the plate for Israel as they face Chinese Taipei.
Chinese Taipei
Kuo-Hui Kao – The Fubon Guardians outfielder had a huge year in 2016 in the CPBL with 34 home runs. The 31-year old who spent some time in the states getting as high as AA ball will anchor the lower half of the order.
Chih-Hsien Chiang – The third baseman for the Chinatrust Brothers will provide a potent 1-2 punch in the middle of the order for Chinese Taipei with Chih-sheng Lin. Both hit 30+ homers in 2016 with Chiang hitting .402 on the season.
Eric Bynum
Eric Bynum is Managing Editor here at BaseballdeWorld. He spent three years as an ESL teacher in South Korea, and is now working on his master's degree in history with a focus on baseball and WWII. He has played and/or written about baseball for the past 30 years and is an avid Atlanta Braves fan.

Welcome back to our annual rite of just-after-spring:
The top 10 things we learned during USC spring football practice.
Over the next 10 weekdays, we'll take a look back at spring camp — and provide a sneak peak at what's to come in fall.
So, without further ado, let's get this started:
No. 1 — Junior quarterback Matt Barkley remains an unfinished product.
Who among us isn't, right?
Even the very best at their craft — Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees — find areas in which they need to improve. They never stop working. It's what makes them special.
Lauded from the day he arrived at USC, Barkley worked to earn the starting quarterback job as a true freshman. He improved markedly as a sophomore. He elevated certain parts of his game this spring — throwing on the move, utilizing checkdowns — but overall his performance was, in my view, just OK.
Unquestionably, having to work with a makeshift offensive line, a skeleton receiving crew and a freshman fullback hurt Barkley's production. There were instances when he had absolutely no time to throw. There were others when no one was open. Barkley couldn't help but be frustrated, and who could blame him?
But he still had Robert Woods most of the time. He still had the gold jersey on, meaning he couldn't be hit. And he was facing a defense that ranked 109th in the nation against the pass last season.
Barkley averaged about one interception per practice. He suffered puzzling bouts of inaccuracy. He was by far the most advanced quarterback in camp, but he didn't light it up on a regular basis. He didn't look like a Heisman Trophy front-runner.
Maybe all of this is the best thing that could have happened to Barkley. Maybe he'll take stock of his spring, cast the supporting-cast excuse aside and work even harder to hone his skills.
Given his talent, experience and makeup — plus the array of skill-position talent Lane Kiffin and his staff have assembled — Barkley should have a Heisman-caliber season in 2011. They key word being "should." It won't happen just because it adds up that way on paper.
Barkley needs to take the next step forward in his game. Complete the passes he barely missed last season and this spring. Finish fourth-quarter drives with touchdowns instead of field goals. Elevate everyone around him.
Then, and only then, will he be all he can as a collegian, ready for the next phase of his football life.
- Tuesday, May 3: No. 1 — Junior quarterback Matt Barkley remains an unfinished product
- Wednesday, May 4: No. 2 — The secondary, and pass defense in general, will be much improved
- Thursday, May 5: No. 3 — The class of 2010 is where the rebuilding begins
- Friday, May 6: No. 4 — Sophomore Robert Woods just might be the Trojans' best player
- Monday, May 9: No. 5 — 'The Stable' could be making a comeback
- Tuesday, May 10: No. 6 — The Nick Perry-led defensive line will live up to its hype
- Wednesday, May 11: No. 7 — Jesse Scroggins will be the No. 2 QB in 2011
- Thursday, May 12: No. 8 — Offensive line is the make-or-break position for the 2011 Trojans
- Friday, May 13: No. 9 — Rhett Ellison is the most important Trojan no one ever talks about
- Monday, May 16: No. 10 — As much as we learned this spring, there's a lot we still don't know

Craig and Lee Nakamatsu did not want to compromise on one thing. Their dream home would be located in a walkable city center with nightlife, sporting events, art and shopping at their doorstep. Their home would also have easy access to the beach, the mountains and year round sunshine.
For the past few years, the couple have been renting an apartment in downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) so they could be near Craig's dental practice and still enjoy the urban lifestyle they enjoy. Once the Nakamatsus saw Metropolis, they knew they could have everything they wanted right in Downtown Los Angeles – the lifestyle AND the stability of owning their own home.
The young couple recently purchased a two-bedroom unit at Metropolis, the highly anticipated 6.3 acre property located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and plan to move in later this year when Tower I is complete.
A USC alum, Craig is familiar with the DTLA area, and like many Los Angeles residents, understands the value of prime real estate. Location definitely played a role in their decision.
Metropolis conveniently sits between the financial and entertainment districts, at the center of urban lifestyle in the City of Angels. "I could walk to the Staples Center from my home, that feels surreal in L.A.," Craig said.
Tired of wasting money on rent, the couple started their search with a solid idea of what they were looking for in their first home. "We wanted something modern and livable, a place that felt like home, with room to grow but that also gave us access to city life," Craig said.
"When we first saw Metropolis, we both had the same exact thought: we could see ourselves living here."
Upon completion, Metropolis will be comprised of three residential towers, an upscale hotel and a curated retail experience. The Nakamatsu home will be in Tower I, a 38-story residential tower scheduled for completion later this year.
Beyond location, the amenities were a strong factor in their decision to purchase a home at Metropolis.
On the sixth floor of Tower I is Met Six, the residence clubhouse offering a resort-style pool, cabanas, barbecues, a dog park and more, all overlooking the city.
Insider Tower I, residents can enjoy a clubhouse lounge, movie theatre, TV and entertainment room, fitness center, steam rooms and yoga studio.
Lee is looking forward to having a yoga studio and meditation garden in her backyard.
"We can't wait to come home to Metropolis. This is our first condo we're buying and can build equity in, which is really exciting for us," Craig said. "It's not easy to find a condo this great for sale in the Los Angeles market to begin with, in downtown, it can be nearly impossible."
"What's even more exciting, though," he said with a twinkle in his eye, "Having a four-star hotel and restaurants at our doorstep is going to make for a great date night."
About Metropolis
Metropolis is more than 6.3 acres of residential, retail and hospitality property located in downtown Los Angeles. Just two blocks from Staples Center and L.A. Live, Metropolis will span two full city blocks, and connect the financial and entertainment districts, while adding to the L.A. skyline and the vibrancy of the downtown scene. Metropolis will provide guests and residents alike with expansive views of the city, mountains and coastline, and offer a new standard for urban living. Phase I is slated for completion in late 2016; Phase II is slated for 2018.
