If there's someone who likes being the center of attention, it's a Leo. And why not? Those born under this Sign are giving, proud, energetic, confident -- the world can't help but look! That is as it should be, says the Lion. They're firebrands with plenty of smolder in their eyes and a golden glow all around. Leos are focused in their work and make excellent team leaders. The Lion is also a risk-taker, someone who wants the world (for starters) and often gets it.
Whether it's for a big project or a noble cause, getting the Lion to jump on board is a shrewd move -- and one that's sure to attract attention! These folks can't help but be in the limelight, thanks to their larger-than-life personality. Hand-in-hand with this is an infectiously positive attitude. Colleagues are often quick to seek out the Lion as a role model, since those signature qualities of leadership, truth and justice are ones that many seek. However, Leos must be careful not to indulge in selfishness or manipulation or to fall into a state of complacency. And as for all that primping and posing, Lion: enough is enough! Yes, life is a banquet, and you are the star, but do you really want to let yourself go that way?
As much as the Lion likes being in the spotlight, there really is plenty of room for a team to assemble all around. Is there a game to be won? a deal to close? The Lion's team is the winning team, and a happy bunch of cats it is.
The Leo office is likely to be overwhelmed by the throne behind the desk. And you thought it was a chair? Ha! That desk, of course, is gleaming mahogany, as is the well-stocked liquor cabinet in the corner. Lions are usually driven around in Bentleys, but will take the wheel of a Lexus if they're at a start-up. Cutting a deal with Leo over lunch? It'd better be the Ritz!
Leos are well suited as managers, architects, inventors, teachers, athletes and Presidents.

- Only For Small Birds
Best Uses
We love this feeder. Not only is it squirrel proof but the larger birds cannot use it either. The beautiful yellow finches flock to the feeder.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- A Beautiful Structure
- Looks Great In My Tree
- Only For Small Birds
- Small Birds Love It
Best Uses
I love sitting in my kitchen in the morning and at dusk and watching the birds feed. I love the architecture of the bird feeder and it looks great in my tree. I have more birds in my yard than ever! However, the squirrels figured out right away that if they climbed on it and their weight tipped it, they could get seed out of the bottom. So I used a piece of string to tie one top rib to the tree so that it couldn't be tipped. Problem solved! I love this feeder! I smile every time I see it.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I bought one for my house and neighbor loved it , so I bought them 2 as a thank you gift!Just the squirrels still mess his feeder up, by wasting the seed.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Keeps Squirrels Out
- Large Birds Can't Get In
Best Uses
Great for small birds and the pesky squirrels we have around her can't get their heads between the metal bars to get to the seed. Has my seal of approval for sure.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- good color
- Sturdy
- Well Made
- Heavy
- Top Not Secure
Best Uses
- Small Bird Feeding
After squirrels were able to basically eat all the food from the other birdfeeders, I purchased this one. It somewhat improves on the object of keeping sqirrels out, yet they are incredible athletes, and can elongate themselves to grab the food because the top is easily opened. Add a locked device to the top, and it would be much better.
At first, the birds were wary of it being used to feeding in open feeders. It does resemble a bird cage and I could see their point. Eventually, a few birds came to feed.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to fill
- Food Stays High Dry
- Keeps Out Larger Birds
- Small Birds Have Easy Acc
Best Uses
- Protects Smaller Birds
- Small Bird Feeder
Small birds enjoy it as it is structured to keep out the larger bird.It's a little harder for them to scatter food out of feeder.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I love this feeder, so much so that I just bought my 2nd one. The small birds used to be chased away by the grackles, redwings and other large agressive birds with my other feeders, now the little ones, chickadees, nuthatches, etc. can sit inside and eat in peace..
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- It is very well made and
- Study
- none
Best Uses
- Bird feeder
It protects the small birds and keeps out the bully birds.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I 1st attached the feeder to a hanger on a tree. The squirrels got the top open & cleaned it out. The next time they completely tore it loose from the tree. I got a spring with clips on the end & that kept them out. I also nailed the hanger to the tree with 3 inch nails. It drives them crazy trying to find a way to get it open. So far they have had no luck.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Effective
- None so far
Best Uses
- Great Outside A Window
- Small birds
- Wild Bird Seed Feeder
We placed this feeder just outside a window where my husband has his desk. He loves that it supports lots of small bird varieties and that they even sit on the bottom round and munch away. At first he was distressed as a cardinal could not get through the caging, but we have other feeders that provide sunflower for larger birds. Just don't let that be a surprise to you.
- Was this a gift?:
- No

What can governments do to end poverty in their countries? Is a solution possible under capitalism?
Hello, I come from Argentina, and in my country, poverty is an issue we still can't eradicate, even though extreme poverty has been around for many decades now.
What still baffles me is the fact that although the Government gives away money to those with reduced incomes, poverty is as bad as always. Poor people can now (at least) fulfill their basic needs, but they have now become dependant on the Govt to give them the necessary resources for life (and politicians do not care about this, since this way they can keep on "buying" their votes with cash). They don't have jobs (and some do not even bother to find one) and most still live in slums under really poor conditions. So, it's obvious this solution is only benefitial in the short run... eventually the Government is going to run out of money and we'll still have the same number of people in the streets.
Moreover, I read yesterday how India is going to start doing the same thing, but I guess that probably won't go anywhere either.
Now, what do you think is the solution to stop this vicious circle of poverty? What is your Government doing about it?
Bear in mind that Latin America has just extreme poverty levels (not as much as Africa), but still much more than the First World countries. At least in my country there is a surprisingly high number of slums (check some photos in wikipedia: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_miseria )
In my opinion, emphasis should be made on giving labour to these people outside-the-system. But for that, we need to offer public AND quality education. Yet I'm conscious that a malnourished child is not going to be able to be properly educated, is he?. So what can we do to ensure that child will have a better future? It's difficult to come up with a solution, but we're in the 21st Century now, it's about time we stopped poverty.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
John GaultJan 19 2013: What can government do to end poverty? Here are specific remedies. No theory, philosophy or political language. Just straight forward ideas.
1. Give every woman who does not have a child at the age of 21 a $15,000.00 dollar check.
2. Give every woman who does not have a child at the age of 25 a $25,000.00 dollar check.
3. Give every man & woman who graduates from college a $25,000.00 check.
4. Give every married couple a $10,000.00 check every year they remain married after 5 years.
5. Match with a 50% contribution in CASH the amount of savings a person or couple saves each year up to $50,000.00.
Ex. I save 50K, the government matches it with a 50K contribution.
6. Give every person or couple a 10k bonus every year they make more money than the minumum poverty level. Those who make more than 100K do not qualify.
Ex. The poverty level for a single male is 25K. If I make 25K or more (up to 100K), the government gives me a bonus of 10k.
7. Give every person or couple a 10K bonus for qualifying to purchase their first home.
---qualifications are: 30% down, no subsidies.
8. Give a 50K bonus to everyone who earns more money than the appropriate poverty level WHO WAS MAKING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL THE YEAR BEFORE.
9. Give a 5k bonus each year to each convict who is not convicted of a crime after being released from prison (Not Jail) the FIRST TIME.
1. Do not lend money for College.
2. Do not subsidize housing.
3. Eradicate SS
4. ANY product that is not made in the US that is imported, except raw materials, apply a 100% import tax, or higher of necessary, thus encouraging companies like wal mart, nike, etc..... to stay in America to produce their goods.
5. Bring ALL military in foreign countries back to the US.
Jan 29 2013: Krisztian, "...phase out all welfare programs"
Maybe instead; Tighten up the Programs.
Require annual Verifiable "Means" Tests from all applicants. Check them.
Have NON-Disabled beneficiaries of welfare limited to 2 years,
as California did. Impoverished young Mothers with babies, etc., and others..
A one time only opportunity for 2 years of aid.
Have Disabled beneficiaries re-examined each 2 years,
by "Vetted" Medical Doctors who are paid employees of the Government's
Social Security Disability Insurance Fund.
No subcontractor Doctors, which TODAY may be a big big problem.
"Vetting" of Medical Doctors to be accomplished every 5 years.
Making lazy people look after themselves might improve them all.
Jan 19 2013: Getting something for doing absolutely nothing is what we have right now. That is not my proposal.
If you were able to save 50K in one year, that would demonstrate the following:
1. You are Working --- making money.....You can't save what you don't earn.
2. You are Saving. --Putting somehting away for a rainy day, or an investment idea, or retirement. Similar to a 401K where the employer matches a percentage of what you put into the 401K, except you are completely in charge of the account....
For example, let's say someone makes 35K per year. Assume they can budget and put 10% of that into a savings account. That is 3.5K. The government matches that and now that individual (or couple) has 7K in Savings. Nice reward for working, planning and putting something aside.
Many people do something similar with their withholding so they receive a check at the end of the year from Uncle Sam.....But that does not equate into an incentive to save.
Jan 21 2013: Sounds to me like the only people that can benefit from this are those already making enough money to save. Maybe we should increase the minimum wage to make this feasible? Perhaps we can even have Bernie Madoff manage the investments?
Privatizing retirement with public funds is a bad idea. In the end, it is much simpler and more reliable to keep social security. There is far too much corruption on wall street to ever entrust it with the well being of our entire nation's elderly in their retirement.
Naturally, you may invest your OWN funds if you wish.
on a side note:
I recommend people take advantage of funds matching from an employer, but not because it is about savings, it is about maximizing earnings per hour. Of course, employers have already figured this out, and most don't like to match funds anymore.
Jan 29 2013: If the world's leaders were to put together a forum
that would allow small groups of people to bring their problems to light,
and within 24 hours, through a full discussion, between the people and the forum,
find an acceptable solution, our world could be a better place.
Most Prophets of God seemed to work that way.
I suppose their ideas just never caught on.
The United Nations approach, while somewhat successful,
is just too unwieldy a vehicle. When they built the tall tall building,
they should have known.
Governments do love large buildings, short hours, and vestments
of power.
Politicians who occupy those large buildings despise the little people
that they consider beneath their exalted stature.
There in lies the rub....
Jan 21 2013: "7. PHASE OUT ALL WELFARE PROGRAMS O"
One day, the wealthy are going to figure out that the poor outnumber them. Welfare is cheaper than the law enforcement costs that would be necessary without it. Really, the question is, how much do we value stability? Revolution doesn't typically favor those currently in power (and I'm not talking about our elected officials).
Sometimes, it's a good idea for the wealthy to throw down a few scraps from the table to keep the peace. Without it, they may just learn how hard that dog can bite.
Consider that for just a moment. Welfare may actually be the most cost effective solution.
Jan 23 2013: Interesting. I like how people are putting forward their own ideas :)
However, I don't really get how this would work.
First of all, why are we giving money to the ones who already have it? (points 1, 2, 3 and 4) The majority of women without children are usually well-off. The needy have many children due to the absence of contraceptive methods knowledge (or inability to pay for them). Similarly, why are we giving out money to the ones who go to college? At least in the US, most universities are private institutions, so that would mean giving money as a gift to wealthy people. Moreover, the Government wouldn't have enough to pay everyone such a huge amount of money, unless it increased its taxes, but that would be taking what is being given at the same time.
Finally, just giving incentive for the poor to earn money won't really work. How can they make 20K out of nothing? Besides, if you were handing out that money as a subsidy, then you can be sure they won't manage to use it efficiently if they didn't receive any education. As we have discussed previously in this debate, most people are financially illiterate and that needs to change.
Jan 23 2013: What can governments do to erase poverty?
Who are the people (generally speaking) who live below the poverty level in the US?
1. Unwed Mothers
2. Divorced families
3. Convicted Criminals
4. Those born into poverty
5. Those with no savings to fall back on when unforseen circumstances hit
6. Those who do not have a collegiate education.
What can government do to RAISE them above the poverty line.
Give them financial incentives to meet the minumum levels of financial independence as set by the government''s poverty levels.
1. Financial incentive to NOT have children out of wedlock
2. Financial incentive NOT to divorce
3. Financial incentive to NOT repeat criminal activity
4. Financial incentive to leave living below poverty level
5. Financial incentive to save
6. Financial incentive to go to college
By financial incentive I mean USD directly given to the individual.
Instead of giving those money who fail to meet minimum poverty level living requirements (As governments do that all over the world and it does not eradicate poverty, it simply allows those in poverty to continue to exist at current levels), lets give them monetary compensation for achieving the minimum levels..
There are very very very few examples in world history of communities living without poverty due to government action. Plutarch and Herodotus gave us Lycurgus and the 500 some year rule of his laws in ancient Sparta as an example. Yet many historians argue whether Lycurgus was even a real historical figure.
Tribal, aboriginal, nomadic communities might be said to not have poverty, but of course they are not based on a "traditional" model like we are assuming.
So, to the question, Is it possible for Government to eradicate poverty, and if so, how?
My idea is to simply give those who fall below current poverty levels financial incentive to escape.
Jan 24 2013: I agree that they should be given an incentive to progress, since the Poor do not realize their rights as a citizen and that they can do better than they are doing.
The thing is, if you don't give them the means, they won't progress whatever incentive you give them. Think about it for a minute. You've lived in poverty your whole life, you've never gone to school, you are hungry, you are need to buy clothes because you are cold, you need a decent house... So there comes the Govt. and offers you some money, and tells you "If you make this grow, I'll give you more", what would you do? You've never gone to school, in fact, you don't know where money comes from. Your tummy growls. And you shiver. Do you really think you can find a way to invest your money or improve your position? No, of course, you don't even know how to handle money, and you'll eventually spend it all without getting one more cent.
That is not a way to help them get out of poverty. You need to educate these people first, you need to help them get a job so they won't have to depend on the Government..
Lastly, I don't agree that unwed mothers and divorced families are the ones who mostly live below the poverty level. Nowadays, most women don't settle down and have kids until they are 30! So will you give extra money to well-off single women? It would be much simpler to just give money to the ones making below a certain amount a month. Just to ensure nobody gets any money they don't need.
Jan 29 2013: I don't think most impoverished understand what is required of them
after they spend the free monies the government pays out.
If the impoverished were asked to work at a project, such as farming,
canning foods, or building homes for themselves and others, they might
be eager to do so, when the carrot was a paycheck. If not responsive to
working withing the welfare system, benefits could stop, and attitudes changed.
The Mormons have a similar program, and it works quite well.
Getting monthly checks for housing allowances allows other layers of the onion.
Other layers are called Payees.
Disability checks can be made out to the Payee/Disabled Beneficiary.
The Payee, pays for the Disabled Beneficiary, a portion of Rents due,
and such other debt payments as are authorized.
The Payee gets paid the authorized Payee Percentage.
Landlords, can charge and most do, rents far in excess of any Housing
allowances paid by local government Housing Authorities. Thereby giving
rise to the lofty title of "Slum-Lord".
These impoverished peoples are referred to as Section 8's, or 5150's.
The onion is once more peeled, and the government is a bit lax.
Capitalism at it's worst.

Hey everyone! It's good to be here on the Bake Shop again. In the past I have shared tutorials for my favorite vintage quilts, but today I am debuting my first original design here. I hope you like it!
1/2 yard binding fabric
2.5 yards background fabric cut into:
- 16 1.5"xWOF strips
- 1 10.75"xWOF strip (which is subcut into 6 6.5"x10.75" rectangles)
- 8 5.5" rows (which are subcut into a minimum of 78 5.5" unfinished equilateral triangles)
1 Equilateral Triangle Template (5" finished size)
This jelly roll contains 40 strips. I chose to use one of the prints from the line as a background fabric, so I discarded that strip. I also set aside another strip since we are sewing the strips into strip sets by pairs and need an even number of strips. Each jelly roll strip set should yield 2 full hexagons. To give you a little wiggle room, we are going to use 16 strip sets. If you make a mistake, simply use some of the other jelly roll strips to create more blocks. If you don't make a mistake, just add another row of blocks or make a fun pillow to go with your new quilt.
Take your remaining 32 jelly roll strips and match them up into coordinating pairs. Take 16 of your strips and sew a 1.5" strip RST alongside the jelly roll strip. Make sure you stagger this background 1" from the beginning of your jelly roll. This is important! It will help you get an extra cut from your jelly roll and give you two blocks vs. one block for the same amount of work.
Place each strip set background side down. Press over the seam to set it (this will keep your lines crisp and keep your seam line from being wavy). Now open your pair and press toward the jelly roll.
Now Stagger your second jelly roll strip 1" down from your background strip and attach it RSF to the background strip. When finished sewing, press your strips open with the seams facing the Jelly Roll.
Your strip sets will be staggered on the edge like this to help maximize your fabric.
This is how your cut triangle will look. From the apex of the triangle, Your background fabric will hit the 2" finished and 3" finished hash marks. I used a sharpie when I was cutting to make a little dot on those lines...it is so easy to get confused!
Continue cutting until you have 12 triangles cut from each strip set. Just flip the triangle all the way from one end to the other. Be careful not to contort or twist your wrist when cutting triangles. I set up my mat on the edge of a desk/table and walk around the mat to make cuts instead of straining my wrists. I got a lot of wrist pain once using a quarter square triangle ruler and I don't want to repeat that. If you have an Olfa brand cutter, you will notice a set of ridges on your cutter. These are registration points indicating where to put your thumb or forefinger (your preference) for the least stress on your wrist tendons. Cool, huh?
Arrange your triangles into 2 hexagons like so.
We will sew our hexagons into 2 halves then join the halves at the center. Join the first 2 triangles edge to edge then you will need to offset the third triangle in the half hexagon by 1/4". You can use your dog ears to line up your offset :
I really recommend setting your seams to give you nice, crisp seams. With all those bias edges, this step is very helpful. Setting seams means pressing your sewn line before opening up your block and pressing the block. If you are nervous working with bias edges, you can do the following things:
- starch your fabric (not necessary)
- piece with a walking foot (not necessary, but can help especially in longer bias edge seams)
- touch the fabric as little as possible...absolutely crucial.
- set your seams (I find this very helpful, I love a crisp seam line).
- if you are unsure of how much to offset your blocks to get the seams to match, sew the first few triangles with a basting stitch (longest stitch length). If you're happy with your pieces, go over your seams with a regular stitch length. If you mess up, it is much easier to take out long basting stitches and it will be less tugging with a seam ripper...tugging distorts your blocks. After a block, I felt comfortable to just dive in with a regular stitch. I also pieced with my regular 1/4" foot.
Now you have your half-hexagons. Before you sew your hexes together into whole hexagons, here is an alternate layout I chose not to use for these particular fabrics (half hexes would be sewn together like a tumbler quilt):
Instead of this, we're going to proceed with sewing the half hexes into complete hexagons:
You will notice there are dog ears in the center where your half hexagons will meet. You can trim these before you begin or use them to line up your hexagons and trim them afterward.
Here is how it looks under the ruler. Use the guidelines on your ruler to measure, not just the edges.
Now attach 2 equilateral triangles of your background fabric to opposite sides of your hexagon. This makes a rhombus shape. Set the seams and press open.
Here is your rhombus shape. I am calling this an Eli's Wheel block. It reminds me of a ferris wheel which in turn reminds of me 5 minutes of pure terror (or hilarity, depending on whom you ask) spent with my son on a giant ferris wheel overlooking one of the Great Lakes. You should have 32 blocks. Your quilt will have 7 rows laid out like so:
Row 1: 5 rhombus blocks
Row 2: 4 rhombus blocks
Row 3: 5 rhombus blocks
Row 4: 4 rhombus blocks
Row 5: 5 rhombus blocks
Row 6: 4 rhombus blocks
Row 7: 5 rhombus blocks
Now we will sew our blocks into rows. Do not sew your rows together just yet: we will need to add setting pieces to the side.
Joining our rhombi will also involve us offsetting our pieces by 1/4". You can also use those dog ears along the edge to help you line up your blocks.
You see I've lined up my dog ears. You can also see the bottom block peeking out. When you correctly line up your 2 blocks to sew, it kind of looks like a tent with the "pretty side" of the fabric lining the tent. Sew along the top of the "tent."
Set your seam and open up...Voila!
Press. Continue joining your blocks into rows.
The beginning and end of each row will need another 5.5" setting triangle. Attach the setting triangle to the hexagon on the beginning and end row.
Sew your seam and then press open.
Now cut off the excess. You will leave 1/4"excess past the point on your hexagon. On the rows that have 5 blocks, this is all you have to do. On the rows with 4 blocks, we will add an additional setting piece, a 6.5" x 10.75" rectangle. Cut a 10.75"xWOF strip of your background fabric. Sub-cut that into 6 rectangles that measure 6.5"x10.75".
According to my MATH, the pieces should be 6.5"x10.5", but that just was a little shy (maybe due to the bias edges) I'd rather be conservative and cut a little extra. You can always trim down from 10.75" if you find this piece is too tall.
Attach the rectangle to each end of the three 4-block rows.
Now sew your 7 rows together to form a lovely 60x70 quilt top.
Approximate fabric requirements for backing: 3 3/4 yards.
Construct 2 strips the width of the fabric and length at least 66.5" Sew Strips together to form backing.
Baste backing, batting, and quilt top to form quilt sandwich. Quilt as desired.
Fabric required: 1/2 yard. Cut 7 strips of width 2.5" or 2.5" (your preference). Sew into a continous binding strip. Attach to the front of your quilt with machine and turn over and finish by hand using a ladder stitch or whipstitch.
60"x70" lap quilt (with extra fabric to make coordinating pillows or a slightly larger quilt)
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. If you make one I'd love to see it! You can see my other tutorials and projects on my blog.

You don't get bigger or better than the Clipper Race when it comes to raw human emotion of a global challenge, the impact of twelve 70-foot sponsored ocean-racers charging brands around the world and combining all that energy in ports of call with international race hosts.
The Clipper Race has carved out a unique niche, which it now dominates, creating an accessible experience for predominately amateur crews and engaging with sponsors through an innovative business model.
The race offers a versatile partnership programme with 18 months exposure to a cumulative media audience of more than two billion people.
Twelve identical yachts complete over 40,000 miles of exhilarating ocean racing; delivering a powerful mix of compelling media stories, combined with a range of business, government and consumer engagement channels and a rich variety of corporate social responsibility opportunities.
We offer a variety of partnership levels, that can be tailored to meet your objectives. The associated rights provide outstanding brand exposure and stakeholder engagement opportunities, with further impact achieved through multiple marketing channels, from digital and social networking to traditional broadcast and print coverage.
This is the highest level of sponsorship and allows a business or destination to be named within the race title, giving synonymous association with the Clipper Race brand at all points of communication.
Each of the twelve yacht entries has a Team Sponsor giving a business or destination the opportunity to name and brand one of the Clipper 70s. In addition, the crew become ambassadors for their Team Sponsor and help them promote key messages in all the ports of call, through networking events and sailing days. A Team Sponsor is also often a Host Port Sponsor.
The Clipper Race visits around 16 ports over an eleven month period. The route is shaped by Host Port Sponsors – in the majority as part of a yacht entry - which invest in the event to showcase its destination on a global platform and benefit from the significant economic impact that a stopover brings to the region.
Fleet Sponsors are multinational brands or organisations that choose to benefit from exposure across the whole race fleet. A Fleet Sponsor has exclusivity within its product category to align itself with the race and promote its product/services to crew, other sponsors, media and the global race audience.
The Clipper Race partners with a number of Official Suppliers on a partial commercial/partial sponsorship or value in kind basis. The partners supply specific goods or services either on a complimentary basis or at a heavily discounted rate in return for rights of association with the Clipper Race brand.
If your company is intersted in sponsoring the next edition of the race, starting in the summer of 2015, email the Partnerships Team to find out more: email@example.com

Anna's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Los Angeles Angels. I grew up in Southern California until I joined the military at 19. My dad would take me to see them play back when they were the Anaheim Angels. It brings back good memories for me :) But if I had to go strictly off looks I'd say the San Francisco Giants... that is until Tim Lincecum cut his hair.
What's your favorite movie quote?
"You gonna fuck on me?!" Leslie Chow's voice from The Hangover. Gets me laughing every time.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Original Mario Brothers. I wasn't allowed to play video games as a kid so when I went to my cousin's house I'd sneak off and play it as much as possible.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
None! At all. Not even ears. I pierced my lip a few months back just because but I took it out. I was annoying.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Mmmmmm. Sorry Lou Bega. I'm going to go with Mambo Number 5. I will say though it gets me running pretty fast at the gym.
What's your best party trick?
Well... I can blow bubbles out of my right eye under water. True Story. I'd like to call it my badass birth defect haha.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"Do you take karate because your body is kickin'."
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Coldstone! I worked there for maybe a week when I was 16 until the girls locked me in the freezer as a joke. They were pretty much trolls for doing that.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
I'd have to say cliff diving in Czech Republic. I mean I've been skydiving too... but that was safer compared to jumping off a random cliff.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
WAFFLEHOUSE!!!!!!!!!! All Star Special with extra cheese on my eggs.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Tofu Chicken. I know I know. I'm a vegetarian but I swear I'm a badass cook. If you don't believe me ask my friends.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
If I told you then it wouldn't be a secret!
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
Yoga pants, tank top, and my vans. Getting dressed up is fun and all but I'm a pretty relaxed person. When I'm not in my uniform it's chill time for me.
Tell us a joke.
What did the tomato say to the cucumber when it rolled off the counter? "Olive." hahaha. Gotchya!

When I cook meat, I prefer to use a Slow-Cooker. One of my favorites is Pork Roast. There are several useful tips on how to cut meat, preparing meat and adding spices before the slow-cooking process begins. I thought it might be helpful to share this video with you. The instructions are easy to follow and it will help you to be successful the next time you decide to slow-cook a Pork Roast.
In warmer weather, you may not want to use your conventional oven. The Slow-Cooker allows you the convenience of walking away for 6-8 hours while your Pork Roast is cooking, freeing you up to do other tasks around the house. You can prepare your Pork Roast and set your Slow-Cooker before you leave for work. After work, when you come home the Pork Roast is done and ready to serve!

CARTER FOSTER: So Road and Trees, a painting from 1962, is a late painting in Hopper's career.
It's typical of Hopper's late work in that it shows a kind of emptied out space and is in fact a distillation of a theme, the road that interested him for decades. And it shows his experience of America by car. Hopper and his wife took many, many road trips throughout their lives, so they were familiar with the experience of driving and how it felt to be in a moving car and how it felt to look at a moving landscape from a car.
That's really what this painting represents, is a moving landscape. You get almost a sense of vibration when you look at this painting. As emptied out and still as it seems to be, there's also this strange sense of bodily movement that you get when you're looking at it.
NARRATOR: One of Hopper's studies for this painting is nearby.
CARTER FOSTER: The drawing for this painting is interesting because it has a car on the road. The space of the road is not as well defined as it is in the painting, but you get this sense of a moving automobile, which Hopper eliminated when he decided to paint it.

Meniscus Tear
A meniscus tear is a common injury that damages the rubbery cushion of the knee joint. This tissue is made of two disks, which are called the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus.
These crescent-shaped menisci (plural of meniscus) act as shock absorbers to evenly distribute weight across the knee. Meniscus tears often happen when the knee twists as the foot remains firmly planted on the ground. This type of injury often occurs during sports, such as tennis or skiing.
Tears can also occur from breakdown (degeneration) of the menisci. Degeneration is the weakening of tissue from the normal wear and tear of aging. In older people, a tear may occur from an everyday movement, such as rising from a squatting position.
The main symptom of a meniscus tear is pain from swelling and damage to surrounding tissues. Pain at the inside of the knee can mean there is a tear to the inner (medial) meniscus. Pain at the outer side of the affected knee may mean there is a tear to the outer (lateral) meniscus.
Treatment focuses on symptom relief and therapy to help a person regain as much movement as possible. Treatment may include medicine, cold, heat, compression bandages, and physical therapy. In some cases, surgery is needed. Recovery after surgery usually includes rest, ice, compression, elevation, and physical therapy.

Will this lock my wheel to the wheel fork?

No, this is used to lock your fork to a Yakima bike rack that mounts at the fork. In other words, this is to be used while your bike is in transit on a bike rack, not while ridding.

East Rockaway is one of the many communities hit hard by Hurricane Sandy but thanks to some local kids colorful and inspirational artwork is brightening up the neighborhood.
A lot of people in the East Rockaway are seeing stars – hand painted ones that are dotting neighborhood streets.
"These are going to be so important for people to see driving home when they are going to check their mailboxes of empty houses," said one East Rockaway resident.
The "Stars of Hope" are meant to bring some joy to the community devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
Janine Pizzariella is a member of the organization.
"Stars of Hope is an organization that comes into devastated communities to bring inspiration and color to brighten up a community after a disaster. They bring a sense of hope and acknowledgement that someone out there cares it's not just themselves dealing with disaster, but there are other people who have dealt with the same and to bring them a little hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel."
Local kids helped make one particular batch of them hit hard by the hurricane.
"Probably some people aren't back in their houses or apartments and we are coming here to show them that they should still have hope," said one young volunteer.
The organization usually partners with a school to get kids involved. First volunteers cut, sand and put a base coat of paint on the stars. They are then sent to communities to be decorated with inspirational words, messages and lots of bright colors.
"Although we were affected by the storm you got to give back."
Mary Kate Lynch contacted Stars of Hope and asked them to come to her hometown.
"There are a few that may put a tear in your eye and there are a few that make you chuckle. It's beautiful; it's art from the heart," said Lynch.
The Stars of Hope organization was started in Texas by a family whose homes were destroyed by a tornado. Their first mission was a year later, when they sent Stars to a town in Kansas nearly wiped out by an EF 5 tornado -- the strongest in tornado category.

In dire love with fellow Scorpio, Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Kiki was convinced he was her soul mate. Astrology confirmed their compatibility and Kiki was hooked.
Following those years, Kiki got off her Simon Le Bon obsession, mastered the finer points of this starry maze of manipulation. Her columns have appeared throughout the world, in publications such as Playgirl, Jane, New York Post Page Six Magazine, Teen Vogue, Twist, Scarlet UK, thefrisky.com, and mylifetime.com.
However, her pride and joy is her astral opus: "The Celestial Sexpot's Handbook" (Grand Central Press), which reveals all of Kiki's devilish observations and offer 20 comprehensive pages on each of the male zodiac players — from what they are good for in and out of the bedroom, how to seduce them, how to turn them out and even how to dump them or see if they are about to dump you and how to beat him to the punch.

Skip to main content
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a form of pulmonary hypertension caused by old blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). In most patients who have suffered a blood clot, blood thinners are enough to restore blood flow to the lungs, improving breathing and exercise tolerance, and preventing development of pulmonary hypertension.
However, a minority of patients will not respond adequately to blood thinners, and may develop CTEPH. In these patients, problems arise not only from lung segments being obstructed by clots, but because seemingly healthy blood vessels (supplying uninvolved lung segments) may develop progressive narrowing, similar to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Importantly, patients may develop CTEPH without any history of a blood clot. It is also possible for CTEPH to develop from multiple small clots over a long period of time, as opposed to one or two large blood clots. Learn more, watch Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension - What You Need to Know.
The symptoms of CTEPH are non-specific, and similar to other types of pulmonary hypertension. The most common symptoms of CTEPH are shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. Less frequent symptoms include a dry cough, chest pain, and heart palpitations. As the disease progresses, symptoms of light-headedness or exercise-related dizziness may occur. Abdominal and lower extremity swelling may develop as lung pressures increase, and the right ventricle, which pumps blood into the lungs, begins to weaken.
Approximately 1% of patients with an acute pulmonary embolism will develop CTEPH. People who have very large pulmonary emboli may be at increased risk of developing CTEPH. Patients who already manifest some pulmonary hypertension at the time of diagnosis of a pulmonary embolism may also have an increased likelihood of developing CTEPH. Some underlying blood clotting disorders are more common in patients with CTEPH, though not all clotting disorders increase risk. Additionally, some chronic medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and osteomyelitis, are associated with increased CTEPH risk.
If a doctor suspects that you have CTEPH, he or she will run a number of tests. The goals of these tests are to establish whether you have CTEPH or another type of PH. If you do have CTEPH, he or she will want to determine if you are a candidate for pulmonary thromboendartectomy (PTE) surgery.
The symptoms of CTEPH are quite similar to those of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and the other types of PH. Chest pain may be a more prominent feature of CTEPH, particularly in those patients who have had scarring in an area of lung from a prior blood clot. The distinguishing feature of CTEPH is that it is the only type of PH that truly has a potential "cure" for those who are eligible for PTE surgery.
The therapy of choice for operable patients is a pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, or PTE surgery, a highly specialized surgical procedure that removes chronic blood clots from the arteries in the lung. Learn more
All CTEPH patients will need to be on a blood thinner, typically warfarin, for the rest of their lives. For patients who have prominent abdominal swelling and swollen legs, diuretics may be beneficial.
PH-specific medications have been investigated in CTEPH, though the number of patients studied is much smaller than those enrolled in PAH clinical trials. These studies have confirmed the safety of several therapies, and varying degrees of benefit. Medical therapies are mainly used for inoperable patients, or for patients who have residual pulmonary hypertension after surgery. If you fall into one of these categories, your PH team will work with you to choose a medication based on your disease severity, side effects, and other relevant personal factors. Watch Thromboembolic Disease and PAH: The Spectrum of Therapies.
One of our PH Email Mentors, Amanda, is available to talk about her experiences as a CTEPH patient and with PTE surgery. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join PHA CTEPH, PHA's email group for patients living with CTEPH or having had PTE surgery. (Membership requires a free Google account.)
Connect with other patients on PHA CTEPH, PHA's Facebook Group for those affected by CTEPH.
This article was written by Gautam V. Ramani, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Myung H. Park, MD, FACC, Director of the Pulmonary Vascular Diseases Program at the University of Maryland Heart Center.
Amanda is living with CTEPH. She runs a local PH support group and works full-time. She is also a PHA PHriend - which means she is here to help and support you - if you have any questions or concerns about living with PH and lupus. Email Amanda today

aluminum market,
2013 outlook,
Suzy Waite
The level of uncertainty shrouding aluminum markets heading into the new year was unprecedented, with some analysts prepared to make two price forecastsÑone if the fiscal cliff issue was resolved, and one if it wasnt.
President Obama and Congress managed to avoid falling off the cliff, but analysts say that while the political resolution should provide some clarity and confidence to markets that will help aluminum demand and pricesÑBarclays Capital Plc has forecast that the London Metal Exchange aluminum cash contract will average $2,315 per tonne this year, while Davenport & Co. LLC is similarly forecasting a cash price of $2,300 per tonne--there are still issues on the table, such as spending and the debt ceiling, that could hinder the markets further down the line.
Fundamentals softened up (in the fourth quarter). They weakened more than we figured, Davenport analyst Tim Hayes told AMM. We havent run different scenarios, but certainly if the ... U.S. economy goes into a recession, obviously aluminum prices will be lower. A recession would cause a sizable cut to our aluminum forecast.
David Gagliano, director of U.S. metals and mining research for Barclays, said that a number of things have to happen for LME aluminum to hit $2,315 per tonne.

I love this time of year! It's so much fun to decorate for the holidays. I wanted to show you my Christmas tablescape. I started out with a solid red tablecloth and this cute little Santa. You can use just about anything for a centerpiece! I love the little red bird on his arm. He's so whimsical and fun! And whatever you use for a centerpiece can become the theme of your table. I placed Santa on a platter and covered it with some fake snow flakes and some some red bulbs.
Here's another view of him!
I found red, round sparkly placemats and used gold charger plates, then solid red dinner plates and then plates trimmed in holly and one small bread plate and a sparkly gift on each plate. (I found those at the dollar store) My old crystal candle sticks flanked on each side of Santa.
Red goblets and gold flatware! I love red and gold!
I used sheer gold, red and green napkins bunched up and wrapped with little jingle bells napkin holders!
That look was fun, but THEN I WENT SHOPPING! And found these red and white plates with the little bird on them, so I switched the plates out. I like the bird plates better, because it mimics the red bird on Santa's arm! Don't be afraid to mix stuff up and switch things around until you get it the way you like it. Sometimes taking pictures of your settings, then looking back gives you a different perspective of how it looks.
Here's another view! I also found those cute little peppermint votive candle holders and added those too!
And here's another view! It is so fun to mix and match and use what you have!
I hope you enjoyed this Holiday setting!
Merry Christmas!
