A Bracelet Full of Energy
My friends know me as a person who is always tired. Whenever I hang out with them, I'm always too tired to do anything. I always fall asleep when we go to the movies. One of my friends said that I should buy crystals to gain more energy. I didn't understand how crystals would give someone energy, and she explained that there are these bracelets that you can wear and they have healing properties that will give you more energy.
What my friend was saying sounded pretty far fetched to me. The thought of a crystal having some kind of healing powers didn't sound real at all.

Obtaining quality leather footwear is one of the greatest investments you can ever make. Shoes have a great impact in defining your personality as well as well being and thus it is vital that you be wary of the type of leather shoes that you are buying.
It is unquestionable that footwear made from leather material is usually hard-wearing and can last for a considerable period of time. However, it is important to understand that lifespan of any leather shoes greatly depends on how it is maintained in terms of care and cleaning. Here are some ways that you can use to maintain leather footwear;
Use recommended products to polish your leather shoes
There are numerous products in the market that are meant to be used in cleaning and polishing leather products. It is imperative that you use appropriate products only because this will ensure that your pair of shoes is not compromised by counterfeit products. When shopping for shoe polish, cream or oil for leather shoes, it is advisable that you buy the genuine one especially those brands that are manufactured by reputable companies which provide ideal products that ensures your footwear does not crack or dry.
Wipe the leather footwear
It is also important that you wipe your leather shoes regularly even when you are not using them. Keeping them clean does not necessarily mean that you have to polish them, but you can clean them using a damp and soft piece of cloth material. In is vital to note that the piece of cloth should be damp and wet because water has adverse effects on the leather thus it is not recommended. After cleaning the shoes, allow them to air dry
Utilize the shoe trees
These are inserted in the shoes when they are not in use. Basically, the shoe trees are inserted in the shoes so as to enable the leather wear to maintain its shape. The shoe trees are always designed in the similar size to that particular footwear made of leather. They also help in absorbing moisture that might have been left behind in the shoes throughout the day. This greatly helps in enhancing the life of your footwear made from leather.
Use waterproof products to guard the leather surface
When you are working or walking more often in wet areas, it is advisable that you provide some waterproofing elements for the shoes. This is handy in preventing the leather surface from salt stains, water and snow among others from damaging your leather footwear. One of the appropriate waterproof elements that you can use is the beeswax.
This basically, refers to taking your leather footwear to a shoe repairman so as to repair any damaged section of the shoe. It is important to recognize that it would be cheaper to maintain the shoes than buying new one. Cobblers can greatly help in repairing the shoe to regain its lost shape and last for a considerable time. However, you should ensure that the repairman is proficient in this trade because if he is not, he can worsen the damage of your leather shoes.
Make Use of Your Make-Up To Achieve That Smoky Eye Look
One of the appearances that are all the rage this spring is called the smoky eye. It adds more depth and mystery to your eyes at the same time. After all, they are the windows to the soul.
There are a lot of ways to do it. You do not need to be as breathtaking as a runway model, unless you really want to. Take a look at some of the tips for accomplishing this effect.
If you are thinking about using the smoky eye look, you don't want to take any attention away from your eyes. So, tone down your lipstick and blush a little in order to keep attention on your baby blue or brown eyes. It'll also balance your facial and keep you from having a clown appearance.
Applying Your Eye color
The smoky effect is just that an effect. You could utilize a lot of different colors to accomplish this. Let's begin with make-up for day wear. You would not pop up at the office with bright orange or yellow shadow covering your eyes. You could still accomplish the smoky appearance but keep it toned down so it is good for a professional environment.
Darker colors of shadow like brown, gray, black and violet are great for day wear. Pick that color and apply it it directly to your lid. Be sure to carry the color past the outer edge of your eyelid. A little of the same color is then put below the lower lid nearby the eyelash line. Because you're at work, it isn't necessary to smudge the lower color. Keep it neat.
Apply your eye liner
During the day utilize a liquid liner in an equally dark color the same as brown or black. Pick up the liner pen as you get to the outer edge of the upper lid to make a wing. Don't forget the lower lid. Liquid liner is easier to use for this. You could achieve clean lines that look good in the office.
Utilize mascara to finish the effect. Separate every lash so your eyes seem to pop and grasps everyone's attention.
How about switching that appearance up for a night out on the town? You can ramp it up if you choose. Bold colors are trending so pick a tangerine or a nice blue for your smoky effect. Smudge your color to blend it in and deepen the effect.
You could go with a dark liner or contradict with an additional kind of color. If you like a pencil liner over a liquid liner you can use it. Blend as you desire prior to applying your mascara. Again, set those lashes at attention to enhance the look.
Want to leave them guessing what's behind your look at the office and on the dance floor? Attempt to make use of the smoky eye look when you apply make-up.
Picking your Eyeglass Frame Colors
Just like make-up, it is vital to determine what color frame will look good on you. Don't just obtain one pair. Purchase ones for each occasion and appearance you wish to accomplish.
What Color Are You?
There are pretty much 2 kinds of color, warm and cool. In order to make the decision which you are, you must think about 3 things:
- Skin tone
- Eye color and
- Hair color
Every individual is either cool or warm. Realizing whether you are warm or cool can severely change your appearance.
Hair color:
What color is thought to be warm? Carrot tops (of course), brown-black, golden or honey blond, golden brown and gray are included in the warm category. So what exactly is thought to be cool? Salt and pepper hair, white, blue-black, auburn, strawberry blond, platinum blond, and ash brown are all considered cool shades.
Eye color:
We're using natural eye colors. There is such a range of colors other than the blue, basic brown, and green. For example, blue could stretch from violet on one part to blue-green on the other part. On one end of the spectrum the colors are cool and gradually get warmer. The same goes for brown. You could have a light color brown that is thought to be warm and stretch to medium or even a brown so dark it almost looks as if it is black. That is on the cool end of the spectrum.
Skin tone:
Finally we take a brief look at skin tone. All skin color has undertones of either yellow or blue. The most typical undertones are blue, which make up around sixty percent of the United States population. Blue, as you might have guessed, produces a cool complexion and yellow produces a warm one. Because the glasses will be positioned on your face, skin tone coloring is a little more vital than hair or eye color.
Now that you know whether you are a cool or a warm you can begin considering different frame colors. Like we previously said, do not get stuck with picking one frame. It isn't necessary to make one do for every occasion. Mix and match to suit your coloring and your mood. Contradict with your clothes to achieve a more dramatic appearance.
Warm color trends:
If you like the warm color trend go with frames that are in colors such as peach, orange, khaki, gold, blue, and copper. Go for blond if you really like the tortoise shell appearance.
Cool color trends:
Try using frames in colors such as pink, black, blue-gray, magenta, and silver.
Trendy colors:
Right now you have a dramatic mix of bright and neutral colors to pick from. It all depends on your gender and coloring, but the best colors for women include driftwood and tangerine. For men, coloring goes from a cool dazzling blue to a subdued grass green.
Be bold! Utilize frames that make a statement this year.
Choice of Eyewear that Fits You
Everyone has a unique features to his or her face. The shape of our face must be taken into consideration when we purchase glasses.
Facial Shapes of Us?
Take a look at a fast rundown of the various kinds of facial shapes: Round, square, oblong, oval, diamond, triangle base side up and triangle base side down. Take a look in the mirror. Utilizing a piece of lipstick or soap, trace the shape of your face from the top of your head to the chin and return to the top of your head to see what best describes your features.
What Frames Do I Need?
The order of the day is contrast. You don't want square glasses if you have a square face. They'll only improve the features that you wish to reduce or hide. Because you will be wearing glasses most of the time, allow them to assist you with producing the illusion of the face that wish to have. The attention is on the eyes and you need it to be as attractive as possible.
Take a look at each facial shape and how to pick the most effective type of glasses.
* Round: The face is curvy with no definite angular lines. Pick frames that are angular and narrow to bring out an angle in your face. Glasses that have a clear bridge piece give the illusion of wider set eyes. An additional great shape is rectangular frames.
* Square: Soften your proportions with narrow frames in an oval shape. Pick frames that are considered wide but on the thinner side when it comes to depth.
* Oblong: If you want to make your face look shorter you can get a frame that's thicker but not very wide. Avoid the decorative frames that have designs on the temples and temples that are not the same as the color of the frame itself. Think about choosing frames that have a lower bridge to reduce the appearance of your nose.
* Oval: This face shape is normally the most wanted since it has balanced proportions. In order to honor that pick frames that aren't wider than the sides of your face. Try picking walnut-shape frames or frames that considered in proportion when it comes to width and depth.
* Diamond: In order to soften the cheekbones and play up the eyes and chin, you can attempt a throwback fashion – the cat-eye shape. If you don't like the the school master look, you can go for the rimless glasses or frames with plenty of detail work across the top.
* Triangle base side down: The concept is to play up the top portion of your face and give it a little depth. Add a splash of color to your frames. If you like, you can pick the cat-eye frame for more emphasis.
* Triangle base side up: The idea is to downplay the top of the face. Try wearing glasses with no rims or those that are considered wider at the bottom part than the top half. When you use lighter colors they can reduce the top of the face.
What frames will fit you the best? If you have been wearing the wrong type all these years, you will be shocked at what a difference the appropriate frame will do to your appearance.

Do not wear tight clothes if you're tall. Be sure that your skirt is the proper length, your body will seem out of balance.Keep things streamlined and wear blouses over the trousers to keep your upper body looking long.
Hopefully, this article has helped you to understand how to apply fashion to your own life. This will allow you to look great at any age.

What causes Darier disease?
Darier disease is caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene. The linear form of Darier disease is caused by acquired somatic mutations that occur within the ATP2A2 gene; these mutations usually occur by chance and are not inherited from an affected parent. Various environmental factors may also contribute to flare-ups in affected individuals, especially during the summertime when there is increased exposure to heat and humidity. Flare-ups may also be caused by UV light exposure, friction, minor injuries, and certain medications.[1]

Two 17-year-old Oak Creek boys were arrested Nov. 4 in connection with the Oct. 17 assault and robbery of a boy.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
The teens were arrested after a police investigation determined they were involved in the incident in which the victim, a 17-year-old Oak Creek boy, was struck and knocked to the ground by five or six teens while walking his dog in the 300 block of East Parkway Estates at 1:20 p.m. Oct. 17. While on the ground, one of the boys stole $20 out of the victim's pocket before the group ran into a wooded area.
The victim refused medical attention.
The two teens were taken into custody shortly after 3 p.m. Nov. 4. They are both facing possible charges of robbery and physical abuse of a child.
They are scheduled to appear in the district attorney's office for charging Nov. 27.

Best Thai Best Thai Food In Town – Very authentic, excellent food,variety and price.This is one of the first Thai restaurants in Anchorage and has won numerous awards for being the best Thai restaurant in town.Many loyal customers - why because it's great food !
Overrated!!! – A lot of locals are loyal to this place, but I have NO IDEA why. The decor is hideous -- the front of the restaurant is like an abandoned convenience store. The wait staff is comprised of the children of the owners, and they definitely don't want to be there and it shows. Food is average, but the inattentive and slow service and the atmosphere more than cancel it out.

decades of being single, Betty Jane Allshouse had no shame about her Valentine's Day plans. She was moving into Masonic Village, a retirement community in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. And yes, she was doing it alone.After nearly nine
The 88-year-old had probably heard all the smug platitudes about love throughout her life: it happens when you least expect it, it's all about timing, you never know.
Growing up in an era before single women redefined the meaning of success, she probably also was familiar with the term "old maid".
"It didn't bother me being single when I was younger, but all my friends were married," Betty told Yahoo! Shine in a phone interview from her room in the Pennsylvania retirement home. "It's not like I didn't date—I had plenty of boyfriends but they didn't propose."
Betty may have been old-school when it came to proposals, but her independence also meant she was ahead of her time in the workplace. She was a life-long employee at Allegheny Ludlum, a Pennsylvania sheet metal company, where she supported herself as a member of the human resources team before eventually retiring. In that time, she stopped worrying about looking out for "the one" and chose to fill that role all on her own.
Then, as she puts it, "this one came along."
The worst dating advice that won't go away
That "one" would be Walter Lowman, a fellow Masonic Village resident, 10 years her junior. "He's younger than I am, but he told me he didn't care how old I was," Betty tells Shine. The pair met a few months after she moved into the retirement complex when Walter, then a widow of 10 years, approached her at the dining hall and asked to join her for a meal. Betty was instantly taken aback, because as she puts it, "most of the people down here don't talk." Cue magic tent--or something like it.
"I guess it was love at first sight for him—and also for me," she told Pittsburgh's Tribune-Review. "The next day, I thought, 'well, this is good,' and I kept after him."
Their dinner conversations became more regular and lingered on after dessert. Six months later, Walter was ready for the next step—one that Betty hadn't ever taken. Walter's son had come to visit to "check her out," recalls Betty. Soon after, Walter popped the question. Betty's response was understandable considering the fixed course her life had taken before that moment. "I told him I'd have to think about it," she laughed. She wasn't joking. She took 24 hours to consider whether after all this time alone she really wanted a partner. Then she thought: "Why not? I'll have a new friend."
Meet the world's oldest newlyweds
Six months is fast by most standards. Betty still isn't clear what Walter did for a living before retiring. (She thinks he was an investment banker.) But when you're 88 and you just know, you really know.
Still, Betty's friends were shocked. This from the woman who'd said she'd "given up" on marriage?
In November, the couple wed in a small ceremony at the retirement home. Betty's pastor, Rev. Cameron Malcolm, for the last 25 years, was on hand to oversee the vows. "She was the happiest I've ever seen her," he told the Tribune-Review.
Walter's grown daughter, Melissa Lowman Callaway, was also on hand cheering the couple on. "I could tell she was just a great person and loved my dad, and he loved her," Callaway told the Tribune-Review. She's now so close with her new stepmother, they speak on the phone almost every night. As with most couples who've been living together before marriage, the big day hasn't changed Betty and Walter's life drastically.
His room is still catty-corner to hers in the retirement home, but now they don't wait for dinner to hang out. "We go back and forth between them on our wheelchairs," said Betty.
There was no honeymoon, no bridal meltdown, and no pre-wedding jitters on the big day. Any regrets? "No way," she told Shine. With Betty dressed in a white pantsuit holding a bouquet of orchids, the couple sealed the deal with a song they felt captured the spirit of their first meeting. It was "Some Enchanted Evening" from the musical "South Pacific."
Someone who thinks they understand the nature of love might tell you this surprise romance is proof of the importance of timing, maturity, or being open to possibility.That someone probably wasn't listening close enough to the lyrics of "Some Enchanted Evening":
Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Fools give you reasons, Wise men never try.

Defeat Diabetes

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Mr. Diabetes® Completes 10,000+ Mile Walk of U.S. PerimeterPosted: Thursday, December 18, 2008
Still Plenty of Work to Do
"It's still sinking in that THE WALK™ is over. It's been quite an adventure. The real eye opener on this trip, for me, has been the number of people who have been left behind with no access to diabetes prevention and treatment resources. That's a huge problem. The incidence of diabetes in the U.S. has risen to 24 million, with an additional 57 million 'pre-diabetics,' people at risk for developing the disease." said Mandell.
"The solutions are out there to prevent diabetes, obesity and a host of other chronic conditions. It's clear that changes have to be implemented at a community level to be truly effective. We can, and must, go further," continued Mandell.
Programs that focus on diabetes, nutrition and obesity are critical. Access to healthy food through farmer's markets, community and school gardens, farm-to-school programs and food cooperatives are just a few of the components to reducing the rates of diabetes. Just as urgent is creating a local environment that is conducive to healthier living by developing recreational opportunities, such as bike paths, green spaces and trails. Intervention in these areas could reap massive rewards and returns on investment as high as 5:1 in just 5 years. Prevention efforts like these are crucial to avoid bankrupting the health care system in the U.S. with the long term costs of diabetes.
"There is still plenty of work to do on the issue of diabetes and we're going to continue to focus our prevention efforts on 'at-risk' communities, youth and veterans groups, and bring what we've learned on the road to local communities through a series of exciting innovative programs," said Mandell.
Mandell has walked through 34 states, taken over 22 million steps, used 25 pairs of walking shoes, crossed 4 times zones (twice!) and met, individually, with over 76,000 people.

Mosses Make Two Different Plants From the Same Genome, and a Single Gene Can Make the Difference

One of the most astonishing secrets in biology is this: every plant you see makes two different plants from the same genome. And, scientists recently reported, a single gene from an ancient, powerful lineage can make the difference. How can such a truth be so little known? In most land plants, including conifers and flowering [...]Keep reading »

What happens when squirrels invade the tundra? Well, in one case, they got chubby, fluffy, flappy-tailed, and occasionally kinda cranky, sorta like a hydrophobic alpine beaver.

When You Think "Hydrothermal Vents", You Shouldn't Think "Tube Worms"
January 4th, 2012 | 2
In 1977, scientists and the world were shocked to discover the first deep-sea hydrothermal vent community at the Galapagos Rift in the eastern Pacific (see a great story on this at NPR here). At this site, chimneys spewing black, superheated and chemically supersaturated water towered over fields of blood-red tube worms encased in white sheaths, [...]Keep reading »

Yet I hadn't felt sick before, and the suddenness of the coughing was very weird. Our waitress came by as I was expressing my bewilderment. She said, "Oh, it's the red [...]Keep reading »
Shimmying Sheet Animals Sense Oxygen With Enzymes That Still Work in You
November 28th, 2011 | 1
Hidden away in calm, sheltered coastal waters is a remarkable little animal: a tiny transparent sheet of cells called a placozoan. Though composed of only a few thousand cells and no more than 25 micrometers thick (a bacterium is about 1 micromter thick), it's an animal — the simplest we know of.
And hidden inside them, scientists found recently, may be a clue to the Cambrian Explosion

With each passing day it seems the White House response to the Libya attacks grows all the more baffling. Larry Kudlow smells a rat.
New information suggests within 24 hours of the deadly attack, the CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington that there were eyewitness reports that the attack was carried out by militants.
That information directly contradicts early reports from the administration that the violence was due to an angry protest that spiraled out of control.
Also new documents just released show Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in the attack warned the administration for months that the region was becoming a dangerous vortex for jihadist groups linked to al-Qaeda.
Those same documents released by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform suggest Stevens was also concerned the consulate didn't have enough security.
For weeks the White House has come under scrutiny, with Republicans charging that the administration deliberately tried to put spin on events, in an attempt to cover-up an al-Qaeda comeback in Libya.
Speaking on The Kudlow Report, former Deputy Secretary of Defense and former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz shared the skepticism.
"Personally – I think there is some degree of denial or deception. It seems as though it goes against the grain of (the message) bin Laden has been killed. That it's hard to admit," Wolfowitz said.
GOP Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan is equally frustrated. "They refuse to answer the basic questions about what happened," insisted Ryan. "More than a month later we still have more questions than answers."
Larry Kudlow finds developments outrageous. In addition he's irate with what he considers President Obama's insensitive behavior on a TV talk show.
Speaking about the attacks with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show President Obama said, "If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal; we're going to fix it"
"Not optimal. The death of an Ambassador as well as other Americans – not optimal? That's about as cold as it gets as far as I'm concerned," said the Kudlow Report host.
In an interview with MailOnline, Pat Smith, whose son Sean died in the raid, said she also found the commentary offensive.
"It's insensitive to say my son is not very optimal - he is also very dead. I've not been "optimal" since he died and the past few weeks have been pure hell."
The White House has, in the past, denied any intentional cover-up and counters that it has been completely transparent – providing its best intelligence on the attack, and then refining it as more information came to light.
The FBI is still investigating the attack. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also has named a State Department review panel to look into the security arrangements in Libya.
On September 11, 2012 Ambassador, Christopher Stevens, and the other Americans were killed after Islamist gunmen attacked the U.S. consulate and a safe house refuge in Benghazi.

Why didn't Martha Raddatz ask embarassing questions to Senator Menendez?
Possible answers:
1) Martha Raddatz is a media whore, so perhaps she didn't want to ask questions about the competition. 2) Senator Menendez had sex with those underage girls while in the Dominican Republic, so what difference does it make? 3) Anyway, Bob didn't use taxpayer money to pay for the hookers, so it's okay. 4) It's not like Bob's is some awful Republican, he's one of us for God's sake!

I recently bought a 3GS 32GB and discovered that the "alignment" of the digitizer was off. I touch one icon but the one to the left of it opens. It seems linear (horizontally)
Does anyone know what I could do to try and fix it?
edit: I also might have replaced the faceplate frame with one from a 3G. Would that be an issue? Do 3GS & 3G have different 1, 2 & 3 cables? They seem to fit & display fine.
