#2: Choppy Wavy Side-Parted Bob
Can you choose a voluminous medium hairstyle for a round chubby face? If it's a shattered shaggy bob like this one, you certainly can! The side-swept peek-a-boo waves keep the cut looking youthful and carefree, despite the courageous choice of color.
#2: Shaggy Textured Warm Brown Bob
When you part thin hair in the middle and cut it into a shaggy inverted bob, the style appears fuller, more textured, and voluminous. At the same time, if the cut is below the chin, the long feathery front pieces define the angles of your face and make it appear narrower. The light brown, almost strawberry tinted color is youthful and feminine.
#3: Neat Side-Swept Pixie for Round Faces
A pixie with diagonal bangs works great for a chubby face. An almost invisible part-line, a lightly tousled top section, and angled sideburns that come to a point help to narrow a wider face. The dark brown shade is stylish and conservative.
#4: Tousled Texture for Baby Face
Chin-length short hairstyles are hard for round faces because they tend to emphasize the cheeks. But, you can combat this with choppy layers that create sharp lines and angles around your face.
#5: Formal Hairdo for Curvy Faces
Updos can be daunting for women with round faces because they make the visage the focal point. But, they can work as hairstyles for chubby faces with the right elements: face-framing tendrils, loose curls and bold highlights.
#6: Blue Bangs for Full Faces
If you thought pixie cuts were not for round faces, think again. A long textured side bang will camouflage wider cheeks, while still working with the overall short cut. Vibrant colors will make it fun and flirty.
#7: Side-Parted Shaggy Light Blonde Bob
Loosely parted on the side, the hairstyle has an unquestionably slimming effect. Tucking a few pieces behind the ears to expose the jawline only on one side also makes the face look narrower.
#8: Curly Updo for Medium Hair
This timeless and classic updo will suit all face shapes and hair textures. A low messy bun can work as a wedding hairstyle for the bride or her bridesmaids. Wispy curled tendrils lengthen the face, and ombre highlights make the updo look super dimensional!
#9: Dramatic Black and Blonde Balayage Bob
Playing with two tones is a wise strategy of hairstyles for chubby faces. Sometimes solid colors can make round faces appear even rounder; prevent this by implementing a contrasting shade in balayage highlights.
#10: Cute Feathered Blonde Pixie Bob
A hairstyle for a round chubby face can be any length, even a short asymmetrical style works. Super-short on one side and long and wavy on the other, this cut gives you the best of both worlds: is it a bob or a pixie? Control the volume by cutting into the wave and place the pieces strategically to emphasize the facial features you love the most.
#11: Razored Strawberry Blonde Pixie Bob
One of our favorite short hairstyles for round faces is this fun and friendly over-grown pixie cut. Piece-y waves that are razored, tousled and blended with full-blown side-swept bangs frame the face to make it look thinner. The strawberry blonde pink base tones with light blonde highlights are a radiant choice.
#12: Long Caramel Blonde Hairstyle with Layers
Haircuts for round faces need layers to bring in some sharpness and edge into the look. If you're keeping the cut longer, implement cascading layers throughout the face-framing pieces to prevent the face from appearing excessively round. A cut similar to this is also good for thin hair, providing ample body and movement.
#13: Silver Pixie with Brushed Up Bangs
Whenever we ask hairstylists their opinion on what is the best haircut for full faced women, inevitably they will suggest a pixie with cropped sides and long, brushed up bangs. That's because the upswept direction of the hair makes the face look longer and narrower. A silver hair color and a bright lip on a young fresh face provide an unexpectedly cool effect.
#14: Long Choppy Pixie
Most of today's trendy haircuts are choppy. This method is ideal for fuller faces as it balances out the round qualities. A pixie cut can be chic and modern with sparse bangs in the front and messy styling.
#15: Voluminous Center-Parted Bronde Cut for Medium Hair
If you don't feel comfortable with short hairstyles, then you might want to consider one of these medium-to-long cuts with a slightly off-center part. Blonde waves frame the face and gently jut outwards before careening back inwards towards the chin, creating a long and narrow silhouette.
#16: Dark Honey Blonde Pixie Bob
A layered, side-parted pixie bob is another appealing option for round faces. The optical illusion ready to come to your rescue in this case is a deep side part. Uniformity should be avoided in round face cuts, so sweeping over much of your mane to one side beneficially frames and slims your face.
#17: Shaggy Brunette Bob for Round Faces
We love wavy, shaggy bobs because we believe they're a brilliant way to showcase short hair for a chubby face. Dark brown hair styled with a combover swoop helps to hide a heavier chin area because it lifts the viewer's eyes to the top of the head. It's also a fantastic option for hair that is thinning in the crown area.
#18: Wavy Blonde Lob with Textured Ends
If you have a round face and are looking for a traditional and timeless option, try a wavy lob that is chopped through the ends. The best thing about these hairstyles is that they allow you to maintain your medium length locks. The center part and the indentation of the wave at the cheek, also has a flattering, slimming effect.
#19: Choppy Messy Light Brown Balayage Lob
If you're on a mission to look slim and want your hair to help you reach that goal, then an off-center choppy lob might be the best style for you. Messy waves that graze the cheekbones, and the dark brown roots with a blonde-toned balayage are super-casual and youthful.
#20: Mid-Length Curled Honey Blonde Hairstyle
Don't want to part with your medium-long hair, but prefer to wear it in a face-slimming way? It's not a challenge to find hairstyles for round faces that look good on lengthier locks. The long, wavy layers help to cover the sides of the face and elongate the neck, while the honey blonde balayage is refreshing and carefree.
#21: Balayage Waves
A round face with a low forehead looks perfect with a medium haircut and no bangs. Not having bangs adds visual length to the face. When the front pieces are styled forward and to the sides, it creates a mysterious look. Complete the style with face-framing highlights.
#22: Choppy Bob with Bangs for Fine Hair
Keeping short hairstyles for round faces simple is the best bet for many textures. Fine hair in particular is lovely in a basic bob with slightly textured ends and bangs.
#23: Best A-Line for Full Faces
This haircut is a fantastic choice for overweight women. The shape is a mixture between smooth and structured, and it's ultimately a very flattering option of plus size hairstyles. Especially when done up in a head-turning platinum hue, this style is a sure winner.
#24: Fabulous Silver Blonde Pixie Bob
Women who have always wanted to make the big pixie chop but felt insecure about their round face shape should consider a pixie with a deep side part and long bangs. Such a style easily neutralizes fullness and visually elongates the face. For the sassiest results, top off the haircut with a fabulous color, like silver blonde.
#25: Adorable Bob with Choppy Layers
Short hairstyles for round faces should always compliment your natural beauty but also give you a bit of sharpness and imperfection. You can use a round brush when blow drying to flip hair in alternate directions.
#26: Pretty Disconnected Brown Bob
Chin-length disconnected bobs that are parted on the side have a fabulous slimming quality, beneficial for a round face. Swoopy, long bangs cover one eye and the all-one-length choppy ends hit below the chin creating a svelte silhouette.
#27: Razored Brunette Pixie with Side Bangs
Overweight ladies can look very pretty rocking a short pixie hairstyle, especially when it's a brunette number with peek-a-boo side swept bangs. It's a slimming style that is flattering when worn tousled on top to provide some height and face-lengthening qualities.
#28: Shaggy Rose Blonde Bob with Dark Roots
Blessed with shoulder-length curly thick hair? Look no further! Shaggy waves are given new life with an amazing color combination you don't see too often these days. The high-contrast rosy blonde waves with dark brown roots draw in and slim the lower part of the face.
#29: Red Razored Pixie Undercut
The crimson-colored straight tousled spikes do a fabulous job of distracting from a double chin. The closely cropped undercut and wispy bangs and sideburns give this hairdo a rock-and-roll feel bordering on punk. If you're a courageous girl who wants to stand out from the crowd, you've just discovered the cut that will take you to the edge of modernity.
#30: Side-Swept Wavy Pixie Bob
Keeping your hairstyle shaggy is a great way of drawing attention away from an overly round face. Swoopy golden-blonde locks curl around the face, and the spectacular combover waves discreetly cover the cheeks, ending at the chin. It's a high-end and sophisticated pixie bob.
#31: Sleek Short Cut
Short hair for round faces looks beautiful in sleek asymmetrical hairstyles. Use a large barrel round brush while blow drying. Curling hair under gives you a sleek, modern look.
#32: Medium Wispy Messy Cut
Plus size hairstyles should be current and a bit edgy! Straight lines and a messy side part with a little height in the crown help to lengthen a too-round face. Tousled strands are sassy yet not over the top for such a sweet face.
#33: Chin-Length Tousled Metallic Blonde Bob
Not all round faced women are overweight! Sometimes you come across a skinny-minny gal with a cute round face. The disconnected chin-length bob emphasizes the neck and downplays the fullness that can make a face look too wide. A side part with a lock or two pushed behind one ear keeps the look casual and playful.
#34: Choppy Bronde Lob with Off-Centre Parting
When you have thin hair and a round face, your jaw and chin area can appear heavier than they really are. The long frontal locks of a choppy inverted lob help to elongate your profile and make it look more angular. An off-center part is a further distraction from a chunkier lower chin and neck area.
#35: Grey Ombre for Chubby Faces
Ombre looks are some of the best hairstyles for plus size women because the fading color from dark to light draws the eye down. By doing this you can visually create length and slim down your face. For extra drama, try styling with glamorous shades and a bold lip.
#36: Long Layered Wavy Style with Bangs
Long layered waves that cascade along the cheeks and tumble down over the shoulders to the waist can be an excellent haircut for a chubby face. Each curly ripple seems to fall just where it's needed to bring out the natural angles of the face. Chocolate brown hair with light brown highlights is fashion-forward and prevents the hairstyle from looking unruly.
#37: Long Bob
Color is a great way to add visual length to round faces, and one of the most popular dye techniques is balayage. The color is hand-painted so that it looks natural and effortless. It also is easier to maintain and requires less touch-ups.
#38: Ravishing Red for Round Faces
Color is a great way to upgrade short haircuts for round faces, whether you go for a bold solid hue or multi-tonal solution. Take it one step further with bright lipstick and perfect eyebrows.
#39: Marvelous Mauve
Good hairstyles are those that don't try too hard. All women look their best when they are confident and having fun. Experiment with fun dyes and colorful glasses to boost your everyday look.
#40: Shoulder Length Cut
This seventies-inspired shag is one of the best medium hairstyles for round faces. The side bangs bring out the cheekbones while the shoulder length layers give structure to the cut. To lend softness and femininity to your look, use a medium barrel curling iron to style loose waves and then finger comb through.
#41: Medium Wavy Hairstyle for Chubby Faces
America Ferrera has never been a skinny girl. Here is one of her successful tender looks. A shoulder-length haircut with evenly distributed volume lets your locks flow with natural grace. Long and soft side bangs are a great compliment for the cut. Use a hair dryer and a medium size round brush to style your locks or shape loose curls with a large-barrel curling iron. Once you finish with styling, tousle your locks slightly and fix the result with hair spray.
#42: Bob with Elongated Front Locks
A-line edgy bob is an awesome haircut for a round face. It's going to slim your face thanks to its mobility, difference of lengths between the layers and angled front locks. Diagonal lines in haircuts always slim your face and elongate your neckline. The styling of the cut won't take much of your time and turn out to be pretty effortless.
#43: Messy Bob with Long Side-Swept Bangs
America Ferrera's thick hair is layered towards the ends to convey a cute rounded shape to her shoulder-skimming bob. She opts to style it messy with long swoopy bangs.
#44: Playful Shag Haircut
The sticking out edgy locks, trimmed skillfully, create the ideal roundness with sufficient volume. And your not fat, but clearly round face will appear smaller in the background of a voluminous hairstyle. The side bangs add to the visual correction of your face shape. It's important to work through the ends of your locks to alleviate them but not to make them extremely thin. Use light volumizing spray, a blow dryer and medium size thermal brush for styling. Light hold hair spray is applied at the final stage.
#45: Purple Haze Bob with Bangs
For Grammys the same bob was flat-ironed to accentuate its fringy edges and complemented with short blunt cut bangs. Kelly's face is accurately framed to draw attention to her pigment-rich accurate makeup.
#46: Layers and Loose Waves
Blunt bangs may not be the best style for full faces because they highlight the widest part across the cheeks, but that doesn't mean you have to avoid them altogether. Messy waves and bright highlights draw attention away from the width.
#47: Smoky Waves
A long wavy bob is the style to have, because it is universally appealing for all face shapes. A deep side part will hide chubby cheeks, while a blunt cut will keep it modern and fresh. Purple and grey are very trendy this season.
#48: Cropped Bob with Choppy Ends
Since fuller faces have curved lines, hairstyles with soft waves flatter them. Upgrade your bob with choppy ends and style some loose waves. This 'do is modern and trendy, particularly striking on thick hair!
#49: Chocolate Hair with Partial Blonde Balayage
Chocolate hair is a staple choice for ladies of all skin tones and hair textures. Subtle balayage or ombré placed on the lower half of your hair will mitigate the roundness, and a deep side part works wonders on complementing a big face.
#50: Asymmetrical Shag with Bangs
Asymmetry is another flattering solution in short haircuts for round faces. This makes asymmetrical cuts a safe haven to explore! Whether you have jagged bangs or an uneven length, have fun with your creative cut and enhance it with messy styling.
#51: Beautiful Balayage Curls
A side part is a really great addition to plus size hairstyles. With a side part, you make a round face slimmer. To recreate this pretty look, try curling hair in alternate directions, and always pay special attention to how you curl your face-framing locks.
#52: Mighty Beach Waves
Any chubby face benefits immensely from asymmetric hairstyles with long side bangs like Melissa McCarthy's. These diagonal and vertical lines can do miracles, while the texture itself is fabulous and so enjoyable!
#53: Short and Shaggy
Here's a no-fail hipster look. This cute style is totally effortless. You can either blow dry your hair or let it airdry before adding a few waves with a clipless curling iron. Most importantly, be sure you're starting out with the right cut. This option is mostly one-length with only a little layering.
#54: Piecey Crop with Caramel Highlights
Short haircuts for women with round faces are adorable with piecey layers and choppy side bangs. This unique, artistic style features lightened and flipped out ends to add some sharpness and angle to the face that can appear overly sweet. Bangs that hit at the cheekbones help to accentuate your smile.
#55: Short Cool Toned Crop
A bob is one of the all-time best haircuts for chubby faces. To push the boundaries with your bob, opt for uniquely textured layers like these. The asymmetry in the long bangs is really cute, while the volume in the back lends structure.
#56: Ash Brown Waves with Face-Framing Highlights
Face-framing highlights in haircuts for women with round faces can also work in our favor. Dark colors make clearer outlines along the cheeks, while lightening those strands, you avoid the "boxed in" effect, trapping the face. Open it up instead and keep darker tones at roots.
#57: Mid-Length Wavy Hazel Blonde Hairstyle
If you aren't a fan of shorter styles, choose textured medium haircuts. Loose waves that delicately frame, partially covering your cheeks, visually elongate your face, correcting its shape.
#58: Bright Purple Bob
A rock'n'roll hair color for ladies of all ages is bright purple. Combined with an edgy wardrobe, it is sure to give you a signature look. Opt for a choppy and angled cut to amp up the edgy factor of your hairstyle even more.
#59: Light Brown Balayage Hair
Though the most common way to curl hair with a clamp or wand is away from the face, an effective technique for full faces is to mix up the in and out curls; one strand outwards and next inwards. Not only does alternating curl directions result in a more natural look, but it also prevents opening up wide cheeks too much.
#60: Pretty Platinum
You know the saying blondes have more fun, so why not embrace a style that brings the excitement? Tousled texture, a bright color and choppy layers are always in style. Plus, it looks equally good with a side or middle part.
Well, we guess nobody will argue that ladies in those photos look stunning, although most of them have gained extra pounds. In this relation every woman is an enchantress. You can always turn things so that people will only notice how gorgeous you are and not how many pounds you weigh.

Gorgeous metallic design. Lightest in its class. Core i5 processor is a good performer. Fast hard drive. Great battery life.
Finicky touchpad.
Bottom Line
The HP Pavilion dm4-1160us is the lightest in the 14-inch laptop space, and it comes with a wealth of features and good processing speeds.
The HP Pavilion dm4-1160us ($849.98 list at Staples) is the lightest, and one of the sexiest, 14-inch laptops in the mainstream category. A metal design, above-grade features, and a speedy Intel Core i5 processor are the driving forces behind this lightweight. In addition, this configuration is packed with a 55WH battery that pumped over 5 hours of battery life.
Similar Products
The dm4-1160us, along swith the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz) ($1,199 direct, 4 stars) and Asus U45Jc-A1 (review coming shortly), are mainstream laptops that have the most sex appeal. They're covered in aluminum metal and are seductively thin (about an inch thick)two characteristics that are often associated with luxury laptops. The dm4-1160us has a darker-toned aluminum chassis, whereas those of the MacBook Pro and U45Jc-A1 have lighter, silvery color. HP's imprinting technology is laser etched all over the dm4-1160us's lid and the palm rest area, as opposed to the cleaner-looking, pattern-free designs of its metal-clad brethren. At 4.4 pounds, it's the lightest in the 14-inch class, weighing less than the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 ($1,049 direct, 4 stars) (4.9 lbs), Dell Inspiron 14R ($820 direct, 3 stars) (4.9 lbs), and U45Jc-A1 (4.7 lbs).
The dm4-1160us 's 14-inch widescreen is one size bigger than the 13-inch found on the MacBook Pro 13-inch and Asus U30Jc-A1 ($899 street, 4.5 stars), which means you will have more screen real-estate to work with. Still, it's a generic screen that uses a standard 1,366 by 768 resolution. If a higher resolution is absolutely essential, the HP Envy 14 ($1,286 direct, 4 stars) can scale up to 1,600 by 900. HP's traditional keyboards are now replaced with the chiclet-style kind, a growing trend in laptops. All the letter keys are perfect, isolated squares, and while it's responsive to any typing style (like touch or hunt-and-peckers), the Lenovo Y460 and Dell 14R have better typing experiences.
The navigating experiencethe touchpad and mouse buttonshas also been redesigned, though not necessarily for the better. It's the type of touchpad that has the mouse buttons built-in, similar to the clicking touchpad found in the MacBook Pros, except this one didn't deliver on the multi-touch features. Often times, the built-in multitouch gestures and cursor have a mind of their own when two fingers are applied to the touchpad. A nice work-around is using the tap function with a single finger, or disable to the gestures in the Synaptics software (located in the Control Panel). HP has since issued a driver update, which mutes some, but not all, of the bugs.
Like the U45Jc-A1, the dm4-1160us bundles a dual-layer DVD burner and still managed to keep a slim figure. It has your usual set of connectivity ports, including 3 USBs (one of which doubles as an eSATA port), HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, and a multimedia card reader. An ExpressCard slot is not included, though. Then again, not many 14-inch laptops do these days. The huge 500GB hard drive spins at a fast 7,200rpm, faster than the 5400rpm ones found in the U45Jc-A1 (500GB) and Inspiron 14R (320GB). A finger print reader, which is a rare find on a consumer laptop, is located on top of the right palm rest.
The dm4-1160us also includes Intel's Wireless Display, a neat feature that allows you to stream what's displayed on the laptop to an HDTV, wirelessly. You won't need a transmitter dongle that hangs off a USB port; the wireless chip is built into the laptop. However, you will need to buy the separate Netgear Push2TV receiver ($99.99) that connects to an HDTV, via HDMI. You launch Wireless Display (WiDi) by double-clicking on the WiDi icon on the desktop, which will prompt you to connect to the Netgear receiver already hooked up to an HDTV. Once the dm4 is connected, you can wirelessly transmit picture slideshows and high definition videos at 720p, maximum, to your HDTV from a distance of up to 20 feet.
Customers who buy this system from Staples can avail themselves of several services the retailer offers. This includes setting the new system up, data transfer from your old PC to your new one, software installation, and tech support and protection plans that range in price from $14.99 to $169.99.
While many of its peers elected to run an Intel Core i3 processor, the HP dm4-1160us kicks it up a notch with a 2.4GHz Core i5-450M. It's a moderately faster processor than the one found in the Asus U45Jc-A1, 14R, and MacBook Pro 13-inch, especially if you're an avid video or photo editor. The dm4-1160us outperformed the U45Jc-A1 in Handbrake (2 minutes 52 seconds), Photoshop CS5 (5:18), and Cinebench 11.5 (2.14) testsall of which measure raw horsepower. What it lacks, though, is a good graphics chipset, like the Nvidia and ATI switchable graphics found in the Asus U45Jc-A1 and Lenovo Y460, respectively. But that doesn't mean you can't find a dm4-1160us configuration that has discrete graphics; the HP Pavilion dm4-1063cl ($899 list, 3.5 stars) runs an ATI Mobility Radeon 5450.
In battery tests, the dm4-1160us performed well with its 55WH (6-cell) battery, as its MobileMark 2007 score of 5 hours 30 minutes outlasted the Dell 14R (3:31) and Lenovo Y460 (4:52). But it couldn't compete with the U45Jc-A1's 84WH battery, which lasted a spectacular 9 hours 27 minutes.
The HP Pavilion dm4-1160us is one of the top contenders in the 14-inch consumer space. There are some touchpad issues, but they're eclipsed by a seductive design, a full plate of features, and great battery life. It's bested only by the Editors' Choice Asus U45Jc-A1, which had dominating battery scores and a switchable graphics technology.

BEIJING, March 31 (Reuters) - China plans to raise the price of power generated from renewable sources over the next two years in order to stimulate clean energy investment, China's electricity regulator said on Thursday.
When China's grid firms sell electricity from renewable sources they are currently allowed to charge 0.004 yuan ($0.001) per kilowatt-hour more than "conventional" thermal power.
According to the official China Power News, the China Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) will increase the "additional" levy to 0.006 yuan per kilowatt-hour either this year or next.
Huang Shaozhong of the CERC's price monitoring department said China had to address the growing "subsidy gap" in order to meet its goal to raise the share of non-fossil fuel energies to 15 percent of the total by 2020.
He said the current levy raises around 10 billion yuan per year, which was only enough to cover around 70 percent of the subsidies offered to renewable energy producers.
China's renewable energy law obliges grid firms to buy all the renewable electricity produced in their region, even though it is more expensive than coal-fired power, but it also allows them to charge "additional" fees for clean electricity sources.
China keeps electricity prices under tight control, and its utilities have suffered massive losses in the last year because they have been unable to pass on rising raw material costs.
Government sources told Reuters on Wednesday that on-grid tariffs could be increased next month in certain regions, and could lead to higher retail prices for enterprises. [ID:nL3E7EU0LT] ($1 = 6.556 yuan) (Reporting by David Stanway; Editing by Ken Wills)

Qualifying for Life Insurance with Myositis.
If you've been diagnosed with myositis you may be wondering if you can still qualify for life insurance, and if so, can you still qualify for a preferred rate?
Well, if so, you've definitely come to the right place!
You see, here at TermLife2Go, we specialize in helping people with various pre-existing medical conditions like myositis qualify for life insurance all the time.
How do we do this?
That simply, first we have you tell us what you hope to achieve by purchasing your life insurance policy so that we can get a better idea about what "type" of life insurance policy will meet your needs then we apply our knowledge of your pre-existing medical condition with known underwriting guidelines that the individual life insurance companies typically follow.
So… let's first start off with, what is Myositis?
Myositis is medical condition that is defined as a "muscle" inflammation. Now there are many causes for myositis, but what you'll usually find is that in most cases, the body is having an autoimmune reaction which is causing the inflammation.
Myositis will usually manifest itself in either one of two types:
- Polymyositis – muscle weakness in lower half of body
- Dematomyositis – muscle weakness and skin rash
Myositis may also be caused by other problems like:
- Lupus
- rheumatoid arthritis
- scleroderma
- drug use (including some prescription drugs)
- alcohol
- viral infections (including flu and HIV)
- muscle fatigue due to exercise
Treatment for Myositis.
Since myositis is typically a "symptom" of some other medical condition, it's treatment will first depend on the cause. If it is caused by another treatable disease, like an infection, then the first step would be to treat the disease. If it is caused by alcohol or drug use, then one would be advised to stop taking either substance.
Getting Life Insurance with Myositis.
The main goal of a life insurance company before underwriting your policy is to determine your risk level: will you be likely to die prematurely? There are a lot of things that can cause premature death, but myositis really isn't one of them. Just having myositis won't prevent you from life insurance eligibility. In fact, you may even be able to qualify for a no medical exam life insurance policy!
Can you qualify for a preferred rate with myositis?
Yes! Myositis will not stand in between you and the best life insurance rate possible…however, other factors might.
Causes of Myositis that will be bad for a life insurance company
If your myositis is the result of:
- drug use
- alcoholism
- Another potentially life-shortening disease
Then you may not qualify for a preferred life insurance rate – and possibly won't even qualify for life insurance at all. Remember, this is not because of your myositis, but because of the cause of myositis. There's a big difference!
When You Can't Qualify.
If you do have any medical conditions that are going to prevent you from getting life insurance, then you should definitely consider a guaranteed issue life insurance policy before you decide against life insurance altogether.
When You Can Qualify.
If myositis and its causes haven't deemed you unfit for a life insurance policy, then you're off to a great start. The next thing you need to figure out is if there is anything else in your life that life insurance companies might judge harshly.
Here's What You Need to Know.
If applying for term or whole life insurance, you will need to:
- Undergo a medical exam
- Do some bloodwork
- Provide a urine sample
- Have your blood pressure checked
- Have your weight checked
- Have a clean driving record (no DUIs, etc)
Life insurance companies will be concerned if you are:
- Diabetic
- Obese
- A heart patient
- Susceptible to genetic disorders
- A cancer survivor
- HIV positive
The will also want to know if you:
- Smoke
- Are an alcoholic (past or present)
- Use drugs
- Do any adventure sports
- Fly a plane
- Have a dangerous job (paid or volunteer; this includes being a police officer, fire fighter, military, roofer, heavy machine operator, trucker, and much more)
- Are clinically depressed
These are just some of the things that a life insurance company will want to know about you before underwriting a policy. But here's where it gets tricky: some life insurance companies care about some issues more than others do. So…if you have a combination of issues (even if mild issues) it becomes very tricky to figure out. A smoker with myositis and a heart patient with myositis will find that two very different life insurance companies are right for them. That's why you need to speak with an expert like us at TermLife2Go.
How can you recommend the best life insurance company for myositis?
We can't! Not like this, anyway. What we can do is make personalized life insurance recommendations for people with myositis.
How does it work?
We will get to know everything about you that a life insurance company will want to know: your medical background, lifestyle choices, prescription drug use, past surgeries, etc. And then after we find out all this information, we'll use it to search through the hundreds of policies offered by dozens of different life insurance companies that we work with – and we'll find the best one for you!
Rest assured: we will only make a life insurance recommendation to you if we really do think it's a great option for you! We will not take short cuts or simply make generic life insurance recommendations. We don't believe in the one-size-fits-all philosophy when it comes to life insurance – and neither should you!
So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call today or visit our Life Insurance Quotes page and see what we can do for you!

Among the dangerous contaminants found in the Duwamish River are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These cancer-causing chemicals were produced only by Monsanto for decades, and now, the City of Seattle is entering into a lawsuit against the company. The city aims to use compensation funds from the suit to support the clean up of the Duwamish River. This article from The Planet features information about how the polluted river affects nearby communities, and includes perspectives from DRCC/TAG staff.

Even though the Duwamish River may appear outwardly to be clean, many of its fish are contaminated and are dangerous to eat. Including statements from James Rasmussen and Alberto RodrĂguez, this article from the Seattle Globalist emphasises DRCC/TAG's inclusion work and the importance of reaching out to immigrant, refugee, and disadvantaged fishers, who bear much of the burden of the polluted river.
Law Seminar International's Clean Water and Stormwater Conference
DRCC/TAG Policy Advisor BJ Cummings will present the community perspective on the Superfund site on the Duwamish Cleanup Panel, Monday, May 5 at 3:00 p.m. Speakers at this year's seminar will help you understand this complex area of the law and will share practical tips to avoid traps that can lead to increased regulatory compliance costs… Read more.
Dept. of Ecology sampling local soil for dioxins and furans
West Seattle, South Park and Georgetown are among the Seattle neighborhoods in which the Washington Department of Ecology will sample soils for dioxins and furans. The agency is conducting a statewide study on their presence in local soils. They will be collecting 120 samples in 20 randomly chosen locations in both rural and urban areas of Washington

Farmers in England will be free to move livestock between holdings they own or rent within a 10-mile radius without triggering standstills or reporting requirements under a simplification of the current overly-bureaucratic movement rules.
The changes, announced on Tuesday by Farming Minister George Eustice after originally being recommended in Richard Macdonald's 2011 red tape review, will be phased in over the next year.
They includes a new system for registering land on which livestock are kept, which will be run jointly by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and Rural Payments Agency (RPA)
It will improve information about animal movements and land being used for livestock production, important for helping prevent and control diseases, Defra said.
Under the existing regime, many farmers are required to report livestock movements to any other land they own or rent beyond a five-mile radius of their home farm.
The reporting automatically triggers the six-day standstill, during which no animals can be moved.
This is part of a raft of different rules for sheep, cattle and pigs under a complicated web of schemes, including the Cattle Tracing System Links and Sole Occupancy Authorities.
Defra said the new scheme would replace this 'complicated bureaucracy'.
All farmers will be able to move their animals around any land they have registered and are using within a 10-mile radius without the need for reporting, or standstills.
Reporting and standstill requirements for livestock movements to other farms or businesses will continue to apply, however.
More details about the new measures can be seen here
Announcing the change, Mr Eustice said: "Our farmers often face overly complex rules and regulations.
"Making it simpler for them to understand what they need to do will help them follow the rules and improve our disease control capability by ensuring better information on animal locations is being recorded on Defra's livestock location database.
"When a disease outbreak occurs, knowing where animals have been is fundamental to containing and eliminating it."
NFU livestock board chairman Charles Sercombe welcomed the announcement.
He said: "I applaud these changes and we believe they have the potential to simplify the holding registration and livestock movement regime which has been a burden on the livestock industry for many years."
"Many of our members have indicated that this is a positive step and should clarify how they manage their businesses on a daily basis, without any loss of traceability and disease control measures.
The RPA's Arik Dondi said: "The RPA welcomes this move as it will rationalise and simplify the process for farmers and keepers.
"This shows that we have listened to the farming industry and responded with a system that's easier to use and more effective."
APHA's veterinary director Simon Hall said: "These changes will make previously complex rules more clear and will reduce the reporting burden for many livestock keepers.
"These new changes will also aid disease prevention and outbreak control measures due to the improved livestock location data we will be collecting."
Livestock farmers will receive guidance about the rule changes from next month.
The new rules apply in England only and affect cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.

For when you want to eat an entire giant bowl of ice cream in one sitting but aren't looking for that "oh crap, I just ate an entire giant bowl of ice cream in one sitting" feeling.
(For the record: No, it doesn't taste like ice cream. It tastes like banana. But it also tastes frozen and creamy and sweet, so it kind of does taste like ice cream.)
- Multiple frozen bananas (and one un-frozen one too, if you have it)
- Soy milk (optional)
- Peanut butter or honey
With an immersion blender chopper thingie or a food processor, cream a frozen banana or two. For added creaminess, add an un-frozen banana or a few splashes of soy milk. For added yumminess, add a tablespoon or so of peanut butter and honey. Blend until it looks like soft serve. Put into bowl. Add random toppings if you want, or just proceed to television, turn on sappy movie, and indulge.

Wow! Beginning a new year is always such a rocket boost for my business ventures. Since I wrote my year-end post it's felt like a cobweb clear-out. I've had such a renewed energy to bring to all things book marketing. Here are a few actionable book marketing initiatives you can run with: Get Reviews, SEO, Leadboxes, Keywords, Google Rankings, and more.
365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing: Bookbub Results Special
My latest 99 cent Bookbub promo ran Oct 22-26. I piled a lot of expectations on this promo. I have been reading so much about how these 99cent Bookbubs have changed people's careers. If I read the phrase "my first five-figure month" again, and I haven't written it, I'm going to lose it. (Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy for all of you through my gritted teeth!) Why have I not been able to get there with my bookbub promos? Well, here are some reasons I'd come up with and attempted to tackle in the past year's 365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing
365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing: Days 4-6
Apologies for the delay in posting my activities! March has so far been a month of expanding my knowledge base, which means a slowdown in results as I take new skills onboard and skim off tactics that haven't proved cost-effective. It's frustrating, but just as with my writing practice, I do notice that these periods of expanded ability often do take a while to gain some forward momentum as all the new pieces are worked into your existing practice. I'm remaining hopeful and still going for a three-day action plan on more doable projects concurrent to these ongoing, more long-term items. I spent a lot of time creating lookalike audiences from people who like my page, but none of it worked the way I entered the info into FB's ads manager.
Action One New Marketing Initiative Per Day for 30 Days Part 4; The Finale
Thursday 21 January 2016
I cannot believe I am typing these words: MY BOOKBUB PROMO WAS ACCEPTED! Absolute insanity. Wow; I'm going to try not to get ahead of myself here. This is big. I need to calm down and make the most of it. So—need to update back matter for The Patrons so it's link to my other books and to my signup list, get my iBooks page up for On Fire (which means I need to get my ISBN going), and try to finish transcribing On Fire as quickly as humanly possible. Trying to get the rights back to my most obvious next read after THE PATRONS, which is VIVIAN RISING, so I can link it in the back matter. I've been putting this off for ages, so I feel sense of accomplishment at getting this request in. Daughter accidentally smashed phone last night; hour on the line with apple, but managed to save over $100 to get a replacement. After that, washing machine flood. Two steps forward . . .

Practice Management with Dr. Cynthia Brattesani
In this video, Dr. Cynthia Brattesani shares her practice management software experience, expectations, her thoughts on its impact of patient workflow.
Video Transcript
Interviewer: What should you expect from your practice management software?
Dr. Cynthia Brattesani: I think that we can all agree that practice management software is the corner stone or the foundation of our practice performance. I expect it to be indispensable, easy to use, efficient and effective to our everyday function. I wanted to keep production high and collections healthy. I need it to be customized to our every function. I think that I see it as a pivot point as well to integrate things like digital radiography and imaging software as well as patient communications. These are all very important things that reflect the personality of my practice. I feel that it's key to our everyday use to make us profitable and productive.
Interviewer: Does your office do a morning huddle?
Dr. Cynthia Brattesani: One of the most important things that we do in our office everyday is a morning huddle with the entire team. That first 15 minute starts the momentum of the day, of a successful day. But how do we gather all that information for instance that we meet goals yesterday and what do we need to know today? Well, we have the huddle report. The huddle report gives us all that information in our finger tips. Simple things like medical alerts, patient balances, are we missing an e-mail or is there a birthday coming up? The things that are more important like is their treatment pending? And those appointment notes for those new patients that need specific goals met or that appointment note that helps personalize care. The huddle report is key to what we do everyday. It allows every team member to feel prepared for a successful day. You know I always look at the huddle as a way to seize opportunities. But first those opportunities need to be recognized and the huddle report does just that.
Interviewer: How do you measure your practice success?
Dr. Cynthia Brattesani: Creating and maintaining a successful practice for me is constantly and continuously looking at practice trends as well as key performance indicators. But how do you all that in just a short time? Well, we use the Dentrix Practice Advisor report because in just a few seconds I have all the information at my finger tips. Things like what was the downtime in the hygiene schedule? What did the doctor produce per hour? What are the percentage of treatment plans pending in our files? All that I can look at what we did month to month, we can look at year to day as well as comparing it with bench marks in the industry. That is extremely helpful. We can look at charts with numbers or we can look at colored graphs whichever you prefer. It really gives me a great feeling to be able to see the health of my practice or areas where I think I need to do better. It in short minutes gives us bullets of where we are and it's extremely helpful.
Interviewer: Have you found that practice management has helped your patient work flow?
Dr. Cynthia Brattesani: The most enjoyable day in a dental practice is when a system allows very clear, smooth running work flow. In fact, there's nothing better for a team when they feel that the busyness is taken out of their workday because everything is just running so smoothly. For me an excellent program is one that has clear interoffice communication that has chair-side customizable charting for treatment plans as well as real time insurance information like with e-services that allows us to check real time if that patient is actually eligible for insurance. You know, I also feel that an excellent program has patient communication confirmation so that your front desk team can actually focus on more important tasks like patient calls and customer service. That one click insurance claim generator, wow, that's one of the most favorites of my patient coordinators because with simple attachments are able to accomplish so much and just in one click generate that insurance claim. For us having a work flow and a smooth day makes practicing dentistry so enjoyable.

These guys broke up this past summer after this came out. It's a shame because this album fuckin' rules. This has been posted in other places, but I really wanted to include it in the best of the year list so I thought I would make a quick feature of it. Another band lost to fatherhood (Algernon), but hey, we all gotta grow up sometime right?
I am really excited to be going to their last show in Chicago on Saturday. As soon as I saw the event, we decided to make this our trip for surviving the past semester. Not only are these guys playing their last show, but they will be supported by Dowsing, CSTVT, and Noumenon. What a great lineup, I'm going to get pretty sloppy.

Even though the area beaches are covered in snow I am thinking warm thoughts and want to link up with the DC Trifecta for Friday Five (Courtney, Cynthia & Mar) and share 5 races you must run at the beach!
I am lucky enough to live very close to the Atlantic Ocean which positions me near multiple beach towns ( Ocean City, MD, Bethany Beach, Delaware and even towns north such as Rehoboth and Lewes). These beach towns offer so many different and unique races that I want to share with you my top 5 favorites so hopefully if you are visiting you can run them as well!
- April Fools Prediction Challenge Run. This race is as crazy as it's name. Seashore Striders has done this event for 22 years now and it has never lacked on fun, exciting or silliness! While most races are serious and very competitive this one is more of an adventure. The race does not have a set distance, instead you guess what the distance will be before the race, run the crazy course and then an award is given to the person who guesses closest to the exact course length (age group awards are also given). This race takes place this year on April 3rd at 10:00 at the Cape Henlopen State Park. The course is anywhere between 3-6 miles long and full of surprises along the way!
- "Beachy" Half Marathons. For this one I truly could not decide which half I wanted to share with you so I figured I would lump both races into one category. I have run both of these "beachy" races are both are flat and fun! The first is the Island to Island Half Marathon starting at Assateague Island and running to Ocean City Maryland. This race has a beautiful scenic start at Assateague and a gorgeous boardwalk finish in Ocean City. This year's race take places on April 30th. You can read my recap from last year here.
The other "beachy" half is the Seashore Classic Half Marathon, Team relay and 5k. This race starts in Lewes and runs by the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal and through the Cape Henlopen State Park. While this is a smaller race it is not small on beauty or a fun after party! You can read my recap here. This year's race is April 17th.
- Masser 5-Miler. I love everything about this race. It takes place on May 29th and to me, always kicks off the summer race season. It runs around the quaint little town of Lewes and finishes at the Cape Henlopen High School. I think I love this race so much because it was one of the many "race dates" me and my hubby went on during our dating time early in our relationship, plus it goes through Lewes which I am obsessed with. You can register for this race here.
- Ten Sister's Dewey Beach Race Series. Races2Run goes all out, all summer long to bring you ten fun races. For a few years in a row a bunch of us ran every one of the series races and had the most fun summers ever. The races have grown considerably in size but are always a great way to kick off a weekend at the beach! While the series is mainly 5ks, there is also a 10k as well as the Bottle & Cork Ten Miler. This this ten miler is such an amazing race. It starts in Dewey, runs through the amazingly beautiful neighborhoods in Rehoboth, sends you down the boardwalk and around Silver lake to head back into Dewey to finish. This series has a race every weekend in the summer so if you are in town- definitely sign up for one!
- Ed Dean 4-Miler. While this race is not exactly on the beach, it is only a few miles from Bethany Beach. The 4-Miler starts at Magnolias restaurant and runs back through the Delaware Fresh Pond. While the Masser 5-Miler kicks off summer, this race usually caps my summer race season as it takes place August 27th. This race is unique as it is 4 miles, and partially a trail run. The after party at the restaurant is always fun as well! If you want more details on this race, check out the seashorestriders.com website.
Do you have a favorite race that takes place at the Delaware or Maryland Beaches? Be sure to let me know if you are running or racing at the beach and we can meet up!!

|Marl Lewis on the set of Wild Girl Waltz
The Squeerelist - Why did you make the unusual decision to choose 2 female leads to support your story?
Mark Lewis - I really wanted to do the small-town version of a "hang out" comedy, like Clerks or Dazed and Confused, but most films like that are very male focused. I felt by making the leads female it would be an interesting flip side to what people usually expect from these types of stories.
There is a background of romance in Wild Girl Waltz but it doesn't take over the main topic which is Angie and Tara's friendship. It is really enjoyable as the opposite often occurs in movies. Why was it important to you to show this special relationship as the core of the plot?
Two major reasons: First, I wanted to make the antidote to the typical male-bonding comedy, where you have two male leads that get all the funny lines, and they're saddled with a ball busting shrew of girlfriend that acts as a buzzkill that sucks the fun out of everything. Second, I wanted to do a female buddy comedy that didn't revolve around a wedding or them fighting over a man or some other romantic comedy cliche. I designed this story to let the women have the kind of comedy adventures that the guys get in a Kevin Smith or Judd Apatow film.
When you make a movie that is supported by - and only by - 3 main characters, the audition process is quite intense and stressful. You have to find a cast that has chemistry and you can't go wrong or the whole plot collapses. Tell us more about what you went through with this part of pre-production.
This is where time and patience are crucial. This script is all dialogue-driven. So, when you don't have masked killers or special effects to fall back on, casting is 100% the most important element. I gave myself close to five months of pre-production that was dedicated to internet searches and just going through one demo reel after another, looking for flashes of magic. When I found someone I was interested in, I had them do a video audition. After that, it was a roll of the dice and hoping that the chemistry from auditions would transfer to the screen.
Where did you find a gem and a riot like Christina Shipp - who plays Angie - to star in your movie?
She was a friend of one of the actors from my previous feature. She had done some commercial work that really blew me away with how natural and funny it was. And I figured if she could create a unique character in 30 seconds of screen time, imagine what she could do with 80 minutes. Actually, that was the case with all three of the main leads. I'd seen examples where they all managed to elevate material they were working with. That's what I look for: someone who could take what I wrote and make it even better, as opposed to just reciting it like a robot.
I feel like your movie addresses current middle class issues through the eyes of a young adult generation under a comedic cover. How personal is this story?
Very personal, but I didn't want to beat the audience over the head with a message. It's an entertainment first, but if you're looking for it, there is more under the surface about the monotony of the small town, 40-hour-work week existence, and the need to escape it. Even it's just for an afternoon.
Your plot is set in the New England countryside. It feels more like a bashing of the boring way of life of rural USA than its celebration. Do you have mixed feelings about home?
A bit. The older I get, the more I realize that the "nobility of the struggling American worker" really is a bunch of crap. Most of us are working towards something better or dreaming about something better. Even if it's just playing the lottery. There are a lot of broken dreams be it through lack of talent or lack of luck. And that discontentment runs through Wild Girl Waltz. Sometimes you just get high, get goofy and do some crazy stuff to forget about the big picture and dread of the future.
You shot your film in 8 days with a $10,000 budget. What were the specific challenges to take into consideration in order to complete your feature film in such a short period of time and on such a low budget?
Primarily, scheduling and casting. Finding locations that were visually interesting, but in fairly close proximity to each other helped with the scheduling. And casting actors with great talent and good attitudes helped in that we could blow through major scenes in three takes or less and move on to the next. If any of them were unprepared or didn't know their lines inside and out it could have taken twice as long as it did. Also, I fought the impulse to do extravagant camera moves or shots that were overly fancy. Those can be time destroyers. So, I really just concentrated on performances and the farm country locations that opened things up and were unique to the eye.
Any advice you'd like to share with the independent filmmakers out there?
In terms of a first film, I'd say: Aim high, but also realistically. Making any film at a micro budget level is a challenge, so I'd really avoid anything with heavy action sequences or a huge number of extras. It's way too easy for it to come off looking cheap. Also, don't underestimate the physical toll it takes on the body. We shot eight days in a row, and usually, by day three fatigue starts kicking in and it's real easy to get sick. You don't want an actor being fine for scenes four and six, but having a head cold in scene five. I know a lot of filmmakers like to turn their sets into a party atmosphere, but a little discipline improves the final product.

On November 27, a finance seminar with the topic of "Credit Default Swaps Around the World: Investment and Financing Effects" was held at the LG-POSCO Business Hall, with Professor Jongsub Lee (Department of Business Administration, Seoul National University) as a speaker. Throughout the seminar, Professor Lee talked about Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and elaborated on specific problems and visions about it.
The professor first started the lecture by giving the definition of CDS, then he gave some examples that made CDS fail to trigger, including the Greek solution to their economic difficulty. He stated that even International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) was not able to make clear decisions, because there were certain cases where CDS was not distinctly cut. He also mentioned about the data usage of CDS in companies, stressing that since each of precedents have different backgrounds, an application by referring to them may not be perfect.
After covering the failures of CDS trigger and its fundamental problems, Professor Lee then move on to how people handle with these problems. He explained that inconsistency between the contract definition of CDS and local legal environment creates uncertainty in payments on credit obligations. He then stated that they actually take probability into account, in which the governments compute the propensity, and based on the score, do the inverse weighting. When asked by an audience that such method does not seem to address the outer sample, Professor Lee explained about the "killer confounder," which is a system that makes a situation into a two-by-two scenario, and fits into each probability.
In the end, the professor briefly showed various statistical data that shows the ambiguity of CDS, as mentioned above. After showing it, he concluded the lecture by emphasizing the significance of CDS and its influence in various markets.

Grizzly Bear – Cheerleader
Normally when an album has been as anticipated as much as Veckatimest has, it inevitably sinks under the weight of expectation. In the case of Grizzly Bear, everything they have done since 2006's Yellow House has signalled a band nearing their creative peak. Continue Reading »

As scruffed electro-pop inspired by comedowns, Songs about Dancing and Drugs simulates that dark Sunday morning tug-of-war between jaded paranoia and the twitching physical urge to keep dancing. This is the third album from Jeremy Shaw, a Canadian living in Berlin, and an outside contender for underground release of the year.

John Fairhurst – Obnox Stomp (Remix)
Updating the sound of John Fahey for the 21st century and bringing it to a new audience, Wigan's John Fairhurst learned to play guitar from an unnamed Indian master, honing his skills in south east Asia for a number of years before bringing his blend of raga and blues back to the UK folk scene. The video for this song (posted below) is well worth checking, if not just for the surrealnes of an 'I Am Kloot' poster hanging in the background.

One meal at a time! I look at it as every healthy meal is a bonus from what I would normally eat. It has been easier not putting pressure on myself and I am enjoying eating better and knowing that it's good for me.
It's nice to know if I want a little chocolate bar I can have it. And just knowing that has made them a little less attractive.
I've enjoyed waking up feeling fresh and full of energy after a healthy day before.
Are you on a diet? And do you ever stick to them?

This week (Tuesday and Wednesday) my father took my 8-year old daughter to Joshua Tree National Park to do some rock climbing. She'd done some simpler climbing before, briefly, a few years ago, and had enjoyed it. (Of course, she did awesome, and everyone around seemed quite impressed by her awesome instincts. Watching her route-find, and use hand holds and moves with flexibility that I can only dream about being able to do was very, very cool.)
The added bonus here was that I was invited to go along as well -- I had never been rock climbing before, and I was anxious to try it myself. (Dad's been climbing for about two years now, and talking about it pretty much continuously since -- now I think I know why.) It was awesome! First off Joshua Tree National Park is absolutely amazing... and it's only about 90 minutes away by car from where I live -- I can't believe I've been missing out on this. (Even if you don't rock climb, there are some beautiful hikes, world-class rock scrabbling -- which is basically half-way between climbing and hiking -- no rope required -- usually, and the natural beauty of the place is astonishing.)
But what was really cool was the climbing. Over two days, we did a number of different climbs (all top-rope climbs), varying from about 5.4 to 5.7. (This is a scale of difficulty, which is too much to explain here.) Prior to the 5.6 and 5.7 climbs, I recall looking up with butterflies in my stomach thinking, "I'm going to climb what? Surely you jest!" (Looking for a foothold on a vertical face, that might be less than a quarter inch wide... and then actually being able to use it to hold your entire weight... well you've got to try it to believe it. Climbing shoes stick like glue.)
During the climb, the butterflies completely vanished, and I was able to focus on getting the job done. (Probably because I never looked further down than my next foothold...)
The best part, after having done it, was the endorphin high at the top, having actually done the climb without giving up, and without actually falling (though a fall is only a couple of inches with a belayed top-rope). Its a huge sense of achievement. To anyone who's not tried this before, I highly recommend it.
Yeah, I'll be going back. It was cool out-climbing Dad (gee, wonder where I got that competitve gene) on the final 5.7, but I'm disappointed that I didn't try one of the 5.9 routes he did on the first day, and I definitely want to go back and do the multi-pitch climb that we turned back on after Brandy got an understandable case of the jitters and chills. (Hanging out on a windy ledge about nearly 100 vertical feet up, knowing that there were three more pitches to go, I certainly sympathized with her sudden onset of acrophobia.)

Congrats to the new OGB
The results of the OpenSolaris 2008 ballot are in -- congratulations to the members-elect. It looks like a solid group of folks, and I am encouraged for the new year! (On a side node, I'd like to have seen a bit more representation from non-Sun employees, but the elected members are all folks I believe have a high level of integrity, and will serve the community's interests well.)
Monday, March 10, 2008
I voted!
I just recorded my vote in OpenSolaris. If you're a Core Contributor, please go to poll.opensolaris.org for instructions to register your vote!
For the curious, I voted FOR the two amendments, and my priority list is for a public bug system, public RTI system, SPARC build farm, x64 build farm, and to clean up inactive CGs.
I am not reporting my OGB selections, other than to say that it included a mix of candidates from Sun and non-Sun candidates, and included some former OGB/CAB members, and some fresh faces.

return of iwk
Owners of laptops with Intel 4965 802.11n hardware will be glad to know, iwk has returned. Hopefully, all the legal confusion is sorted out properly this time, so it should be here to stay. For very small technical changes, there was a lot of work involved to make this happen, and a big thank-you to everyone who got it done, and to the community who've been patient with us while we made sure we were Doing The Right Thing.
Now I just need to get one of my own.

Why do persons with Alzheimer's act so odd? Why are the behaviors so disconcerting and unsettling to us?
By Bob DeMarco
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Previously I wrote, Dotty Loves Flowers.
The comments made me laugh, they made me smile, they made me feel good. They also reminded me that we all have a lot in common; and that, we are not alone.
Within her comment Jocelyn wrote, "Why is it that it is usually the little things that are so annoying?"
This reminded me how fortunate I was back in the beginning.
Just the right people listened to me vent, smiled as they listened, and shared their own similar experience with me. This is when I learned, for real, that I was not alone. This simple understanding lifted a huge burden off my back.
Learning, for real, that I was not alone empowered me.
But as I read Jocelyn's words, "Why is it that it is usually the little things that are so annoying?", I couldn't help but think, what would have happened way back near the beginning if someone had asked me that question?
My guess is that I would have shortly thereafter stopped letting the little things bother me.
Need Help? Search Our Award Winning Knowledge Base for Answers to Your Questions About Alzheimer's and Dementia
After some thought, I think that addressing and answering the question, "Why am I allowing the little things to bother me", could provide a short cut to Alzheimer's World.
As many of you know, Alzheimer's World is only one giant step to the left. Once you make the step, you understand you are in a new and different place where the bizarre, the different, and the new and disconcerting behaviors are "normal".
My belief, the odd behaviors, the sudden change of what we had come to expect from a person, to a new and different set of behaviors that we could never have expected, are easier to understand and accept from an Alzheimer's World perspective.
Why do persons with Alzheimer's act so odd? Why are the behaviors so disconcerting and unsettling to us?
Article - I Had to Remind Myself - My Mom Was Deeply Forgetful and Living with Alzheimer's
This happens because we evaluate those behaviors against real world behaviors. What we have come to expect over the course of our lives. When we do this we feel angry, sad, disconcerted, and often confused.
However, once we begin to accept and understand that these new, unexpected behaviors are normal for a person living with Alzheimer's we can make it to the new world, Alzheimer's World.
What harm was Dotty doing when she hacked away at the flowers?
What harm when she incessantly counts her change, stacks it up, moves it around, and puts giant amounts of change in both of her pants pockets? What harm.
In our case, most, not all, of the crazy stuff Dotty does makes her happy. So guess what? When I go over into her world, Alzheimer's World, and accept what she is doing as the "new normal", I feel happy. Very happy.
Topic - Alzheimer's Activities Tips
Why was I so bent of shape for so long?
Why didn't someone I was venting too ask me, Why are you allowing these little things, the little behaviors, to drive you nuts?
From now on, I am going to ask any dementia caregiver I meet who is venting, Why? Why are you allowing these behaviors to drive you crazy?
These behaviors emanate from Alzheimer's World. Why not accept this new and different world?
Why do behaviors that are happening right now, all over the world, drive us crazy?

It's a little known fact among many Billy the Kid fans that after the Lincoln County War Billy got mixed up with Dan Dedrick and his counterfeit money printing operation in Lincoln County. Well, it might be more accurate to say that Azariah Wild mixed up Billy with Dedrick's counterfeiting activities, whether or not there was any real connection to that particlar venture. But Billy was involved in rustling with some of the Dedrick brothers who, along with William West, were most definitely involved in counterfeiting.
In 1880 Dedrick's money printing had gotten the attention of the Federal Government, thanks to Jimmy Dolan, and the US Secret Service sent out Wild to investigate. Wild seems to have had a knack for uncovering all the gossip and few of the facts, but his "investigations," such as they were, rolled Billy and his small-time cattle rustling in with Dedrick's crew and their nefarious activities.
Dedrick and company had by now acquired several properties (at least one of which was purchased with printed money), including the livery barn in White Oaks, Chisum's old Bosque Grande ranch on the Pecos, and the old Liberty Rainbolt ranch east of Lincoln near Picacho. It was at the old Rainbolt ranch where Dedrick had set up his "counterfeit lodge."
Long before Billy and the Lincoln County War, and long before Dedrick starting printing money, Liberty Rainbolt moved to New Mexico Territory to start ranching cattle. According to Lily Casey, daughter of Robert Casey, "Lib" Rainbolt was one of the earliest Anglo settlers on the Rio Hondo and set up shop around 1860. The Casey's were there in these early days as well and ranched nearby. By the 1870's there were just four American homes in the Hondo valley around Picacho, and Lib's was one of them. His brother Jim Rainbolt also had a house nearby, as did Joe Haskins and his Hispanic wife who lived within view across the Hondo River. All was not well. Though the Lincoln County War was still four years off, the Horrell War was just winding down.
On January 30, 1874 the Horrell Brothers, who had been terrorizing Lincoln County for some time, were planning to mount a full frontal attack on the town of Lincoln in retaliation for themselves having been attacked and driven out. The brothers, along with perhaps dozens of bloodthirsty riders, were by all accounts intending to wipe out the predominantly Hispanic town of Lincoln. They were heading up the Hondo from Roswell to do just that when they dropped in unannounced on Lib and his wife at the ranch. While the Rainbolt wives and daughters frantically tried to prepare breakfast for the unwanted visitors, one of the riders named Ed "Little" Hart inquired about the house across the river that belonged to Haskins. When Hart learned that Haskins was married to a "greaser," he rode over with two men and shot Haskins dead when he answered the door. After getting their fill of breakfast, the riders rode on to Lincoln but ultimately changed their minds about the attack. The Horrells left for Texas never to return.
Robert Casey was shot and killed in Lincoln the following year by William Wilson, who became Lincoln's infamous "double hanging," but Lib himself lived to be 72 and died in Roswell in 1911.
When I set out to find Lib's old place I was armed with nothing more than a photo of the ranch ruins taken around 1930 by Maurice Fulton, an early Kid researcher and author, and the knowledge that it was somewhere near Picacho along the Hondo River. For months I tried to track it down, but even the locals didn't know what I was talking about.
My big break came when a friend of a friend, a lifelong Lincoln County resident and historian, recognized the mountains in the background of the old photo and said, "oh I know just where that is." She was right on the [counterfeit] money. Turned out my friends also had connections to the modern ranch where we believed the site was located, and we were granted permission to go look for it.
Well, we found it.
Today there's a thick row of tall trees extending from the big tree in the 1930 photo all the way across and behind the old ranch site, so getting a photo from the exact same spot today wouldn't show the mountains. The flattened building site where the old adobe was is still there, though the building itself is long gone. Walking across it and through the row of trees reveals the view shown in the top right photo.
We kicked around awhile and found some old artifacts, all of us pretty satisfied we'd found the original building site. At long last, ol' Lib's original ranch and the subsequent site of Dedrick's money printing operation had been found. One more piece of the Kid puzzle was resurrected and put in place.
If you want to see the site today, it's very close to the road. In the 1930 photo, the modern highway would run right through the foreground. You can pull off the highway and look to the southwest and you'll have a great view of the mountains a little higher up from where the photo was originally taken. Remember the site itself is on private ranch land, so stay on the roadside.
Finding John Tunstall
John H. Tunstall is a hard man to track down. Never mind that the 24 year old has been dead now for 140 years, 187 days. His grave isn't too hard to find, it's (sorta) behind his store in Lincoln and his store is now a museum. It would be more accurate to say that the houses he left behind on his Lincoln County ranch are what's hard to find. Though they won't be hard for you to find since you're lucky enough to be reading this article.
If you found your way here, you probably know that Tunstall was the young Englishman whose murder in the lawless New Mexico Territory in February of 1878 ignited the firestorm that would become the Lincoln County War, and that the Lincoln County War is what helped launch Billy the Kid into the stratosphere of American legends and folk heroes. When I set out to find all of the Tunstall sites for my Billy the Kid wall maps, I found them variously to be easy, confusing, and almost impossible to locate without actually getting out there with boots on the ground, but find them I did. Here's the story of Tunstall's final two days and where it all happened.
The Tunstall Store, Lincoln, New Mexico Territory
"Turn loose now, you sons of bitches! We'll give you a game!" Not a soul inside Tunstall's store dared to make a sound as Billy, with his buddy Fred, stood on the street taunting the men holed up inside. Dolan's men had occupied the heavily fortified store much to Tunstall's dismay, and even Billy the Kid couldn't get them to abandon it. Tunstall, however, had just learned that this was only the start of his troubles. A large posse of Dolan's henchmen was gathering at the Paul ranch with the intent to storm Tunstall's ranch and take all of the cattle, and probably a few souls just for kicks. Tunstall needed to call in the big guns, so he decided to set out alone from Lincoln to find John Chisum, cattle baron of the Pecos.
The story of Tunstall's last 48 hours begins and ends in Lincoln. He rode 160 miles round trip in two days trying to find help before being gunned down just ten miles outside of Lincoln. His body was brought back to his store where it was laid out on a table and later buried on the lot just northeast of the building. Just a few months later, Tunstall's friend and lawyer Alexander McSween would be murdered in The Big Killing right next door to the Tunstall store, and McSween would be laid to rest near Tunstall. The exact locations of the original burial sites have been lost to history, so markers were erected directly behind the Tunstall store. The area where the bodies were likely buried (shown on the map above) is now private property and is NOT part of the Tunstall Museum grounds, so don't go poking around over there. Let Tunstall (and the neighbors) rest in peace.
Chisum's South Spring Ranch, Roswell, New Mexico Territory
It was a sixty mile ride from Lincoln to Chisum's ranch headquarters on the South Spring River, and Tunstall arrived exhausted after being in the saddle all night. He was trying to find Chisum who, as a friend and fellow rancher, he hoped would lend his formidable crew of cowboys in the impending confrontation with the Dolan posse. Tunstall must've been crushed when he learned that Chisum himself had been jailed in Las Vegas, New Mexico by Dolan's goons, and that Chisum's brothers, reluctant to get involved, would not send Chisum cowboys to help face down the posse. Tunstall, with his own small crew of cowboys which included Billy the Kid, were on their own. The posse from the Paul Ranch would be assembled soon, and it was another sixty miles as the horse rides to get from Chisum's ranch to his own down on the Rio Felix.
The Tunstall Ranch & Casey's Dugout on the Rio Feliz
With no rest and no backup, Tunstall left the South Spring Ranch and set out on the 60 mile journey to his own ranch on the Rio Feliz (interchangeably known as the Rio Felix) where he met up with Billy the Kid, Fred Waite, Dick Brewer and the other men in his employ. The Dolan posse would be preparing to leave the Paul ranch by sunrise the next day, so there was no time to waste. Tunstall decided to leave his cattle behind for the posse, but take his small herd of horses and his men back to Lincoln out of harm's way. He wanted to offer no resistance. So again with little rest and 120 miles behind him already, Tunstall, now joined by his men and horse herd, set out on the final 40 mile trek to Lincoln. It was now the pre-dawn hours of February 18, 1878 and young Tunstall was about to see his last sunrise.
Today the hardest Tunstall sites to find and access the are buildings on the old Tunstall Ranch, but miraculously the sites and some of the original structures do still exist. All of them, however, are on private property and are not accessible to the public without prior landowner permission. You can, however, admire them from the road if you're willing to brave the rocky, unpaved ranch roads to get to them. There are actually three buildings of interest on what was the Tunstall Ranch:
Tunstall's ranch house. This was a modest structure built over a pit that was about four feet deep. It's not likely Tunstall spent much time here considering the short and tumultuous nature of his time in New Mexico, but the site survives to this day. The house that stands on the site now is not the original house, and the pit below it was filled many years ago. Reportedly however, the stone fireplace inside the house is the same one that warmed Tunstall 140 years ago. The house is still occupied today.
Casey's dugout. This was another structure–most historians hesitate to call it a home–that was built over a pit and used for temporary or part-time living. Robert Casey originally built it when he was attempting to ranch the property. Casey was killed in Lincoln in 1875 by William Wilson, but that's another story. The dugout became Tunstall's when he acquired the ranch, and it's where Billy the Kid, Dick Brewer and the other men employed by Tunstall lived when they were working at the ranch. It's close to the road and easy to see, but strongly advised you don't walk onto the property without prior permission.
The James Dolan House. Through a sad and strange twist of fate, Jimmy Dolan, the man responsible for orchestrating Tunstall's murder, ultimately acquired Tunstall's ranch and built his own house on the property in 1895 just a little bit southeast of Casey's dugout. It was here in 1898 that Dolan himself died.
The Paul Ranch
On the morning of February 18, 1878 a posse of more than 40 of Dolan's henchmen set out from the Paul Ranch with the aim of seizing all of Tunstall's cattle. They arrived at Tunstall's ranch just hours after Tunstall and his party had left for Lincoln. Dolan joined the posse at the ranch and, learning that Tunstall had headed for Lincoln, hand-selected a smaller group of hardened killers from the posse to overtake Tunstall and bring back the horses. One of the men by the name of Morton was heard to say, "Hurry up boys, my knife is sharp and I feel like scalping someone!" With those words, Morton doomed both Tunstall and, ultimately, himself.
Today as far as I can determine, nothing remains of the old Paul Ranch. Though the exact location of its original buildings seems to have been lost to time, we know it was nestled along the Rio Peñasco and the present-day US HIghway 82 about where it's shown on the maps above.
The Tunstall Murder Site
Our final stop on Tunstall's last ride takes us to late afternoon on February 18, 1878. Fred Waite who had been traveling with the party was driving the wagon. He split off to take the easier wagon road back to Lincoln and the other men took the more rugged but direct route back toward town. Billy the Kid and the others were hunting turkey a short distance from Tunstall when the posse crested the ridge. The Kid was able to take cover on the hillside with the others. Tunstall, exhausted from having ridden 160 miles in 48 hours, not only hesitated but turned and rode casually toward the posse, likely to try and reason with them. Without warning or provocation, they shot him out of the saddle, then point blank in the back of the head. They also shot his horse and, for a little joke, positioned the bodies as if they were taking a nap together. They took all of Tunstall's remaining horses back to Dolan. Billy and the other men headed back to Lincoln to report the murder.
Special thanks go to Becky Borowski and Marilyn Burchett, without whose extensive knowledge and generosity this article wouldn't have been worth writing. I'd also like to thank the generous people of Lincoln and Lincoln County for always making my trips to Kid Country something special.

I have just a bit more news I wanted to share with you. First, though, let me take a minute to thank those of you who have supported me after my last blog by viewing my page and my YouTube channel to view my recent lyric video, Going Down.
Off the heels of this lyric video, I am now releasing a lyric video for each song from the Forever album. The amount of time it took me to compile this video collection was immense! What was more painful was all files I lost from my hard drive as I dumped them onto my external hard drive to make space for the videos only to have my external hard drive crash in the middle of my video project! I had no idea videos took so much storage space. I knew it was a lot, but I had no idea how much!
I have only just completed the project, so I would like to introduce you to the lyric video that represents the first single on the Forever album, Seek His Face. Click the text or the graphic to view the video on YouTube.
Over the next few days, I will be releasing all of them, so if you like this one, they only get better. I do hope you enjoy them and that you will take pleasure and inspiration in watching them. I'm actually quite excited about how the videos have turned out, and feel a great deal of satisfaction (and fatigue). Now if I can somehow recover all the files I have lost! As an end note, I just wanted to encourage you to put your own gifts to use, regardless of what they are.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10.
