Frequently Asked Questions
How does the surgeon operate during a da Vinci surgery?
During a da Vinci surgery, your surgeon "directs" the surgery from nearby, but does not stand over you as in a traditional surgery. While each surgery is different, here are the general steps to a da Vinci surgery:
Your surgeon makes tiny (one- to two-centimeter-long) incisions in your body.
The miniature robotic instruments and a powerful camera are inserted into your body.
Your surgeon then sits at a nearby console (a large computer) to direct the procedure. At the console, the area of operation can be seen highly magnified, with excellent resolution.
Sitting at the console, your surgeon manipulates the controls.
The instruments respond to these movements, and translate them into precise, real-time movements inside your body.
The robotic devices, which have greater dexterity and range of motion than a human, allow your surgeon to successfully make precise, delicate motions.
How does the surgeon see what he or she is doing?
A camera inside your body sends real-time images to your surgeon, seated at a console. In fact, the images your surgeon sees using da Vinci are more highly magnified, with a sharper resolution, then what he or she would see standing over you.
How did the da Vinci Surgical System get its name?
For many, "da Vinci" conjures up the famous "Mona Lisa," or perhaps a bestselling novel. However, Leonardo da Vinci is also credited with inventing the very first robot. In addition, he was well known for his intricate, anatomically correct drawings of the human body. Similarly, the da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an intricate, precise view of the human body during the operation.
Does the da Vinci operate by itself?
The da Vinci system cannot "think" on its own. It only responds to your surgeon's precise hand and finger movements. Your surgeon is in the operating room, directing the procedure the entire time.
What conditions can be treated using the da Vinci?
There are many conditions that have been successfully treated using da Vinci surgery. These include:
Can any doctor use the da Vinci?
Without proper training, a doctor cannot simply walk into an operating room and direct a robotic surgery. However, any doctor can be successfully trained in the da Vinci Surgical System.

You Me & Apollo to Serenade a Pub in Junction
(Catch it)
Jerry Joseph is a working man's musician with a rigorous touring schedule to prove it. His stop in Telluride on Saturday will be a part of a Colorado run of seven shows in nine days, and the last before playing five nights in a row all over the state. That kind of work ethic does not stop there for the acoustic singer-songwriter. Joseph has churned out an album a year since the mid 90s, and toured internationally in noteworthy bands like Little Women, Jackmormons, and Stockholm Syndrome. His determined music career has always navigated a path that surrounded him with elite musicians like famed guitarist Steve Kimock in Little Women, and Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools in Stockholm Syndrome.
When he isn't in Mexico pumping out new material, Joseph can be found in Harlem, New York doing intensive listening research into everything from conscious hip-hop to Jamaican roots music. Although he wears his influences on his sleeve, there are so many happening simultaneously it becomes an entirely fresh sound that manifests his progression as an aging writing getting better with time. Joseph is currently touring with former Jackmormon's drummer Steve Drizos, and the master percussionist will offer the rhythmic backdrop for Joseph's intimate one-on-one with the patrons at the Sheridan Opera House. The show is scheduled as a seated affair, but expect him to use soothing vocals and minimalist rock expertise to get you up and singing along to his deep catalog of lyrically thoughtful tunes.
Jerry Joseph, Sat., Dec. 8, Sheridan Opera House, Telluride, 9 p.m., $22, sheridanoperahouse.com
Two Fresh, Mosis, Gvnkst & Treazon at The Summit Durango
Maybe it can be attributed to the peculiar connection of being twins, but when 1320 Records signees Kendrick and Sherwyn Nicholls combine forces with percussionist Colby Buckler to form the producer-drummer trio Two Fresh, dance music magic happens. Armed with MacBooks chock-full of an array of sound effects, loops, and electronic progressions, Two Fresh has been taking their hype music to clubs around the country even before the brothers were of legal drinking age. Although sprinkled with bits of genre diversity, the roots of Two Fresh are firmly planted in the heavy bass of hip-hop and the flighty synthesizers of house music. That emphasis on hip-hop has even caught the attention of buzzing rappers like Mac Miller, who then featured them on his record Macadelic. The addition of live drums from Buckler allows for freely shifting tempo changes and intensified peaks that enhance the spirit of tension and release in the live setting. Now based out of Denver by way of Asheville, the trio will be supported by Colorado's lo-fi ambi-dance gurus Mosis, Gvnkst and Treazon at The Summit in Durango on Saturday.

You Me & Apollo at Naggy McGee's Irish Pub Grand Junction
Sharing your band name with a novel penned by a community activist that triumphantly recovered from bipolar disorder immediately emphasizes the unusually enigmatic presence of You Me & Apollo. Other than a short biography and a handful of tunes in the social sphere, there is really very little information on the backstory of this band. After streaming through the half dozen cuts they actually do offer, it seems that they may be doing this on purpose to let the music speak for itself. You Me & Apollo's soulful vocalist Brent Cowles has the uncanny ability of grabbing your ear from the first few lines of serenading on tracks like "We Got A Roof." The serenity of his words on that particular tune are then fiercely shattered when the rest of the band explodes with raw indie rock sentiments over the heartfelt lyrics. This formula is applied in varying degrees on the rest of the tracks, sometimes more melodic and other times less chaotic, but the end result of slowly falling in love with this band's indie rock love songs dynamic seems to be the same. Judging from the limited live performance captures they have posted, no quality is lost in the concert format. Catch them at Naggy McGee's in Grand Junction on Saturday for what I expect is one of their last times playing a free show at a pub.
You Me & Apollo, Fri., Dec. 7, Naggy McGee's Irish Pub, Free, Grand Junction

Darker soldiers
A darker cooler narrative brings you to the undercover 60s (fantasized?) operations. From Cuba to Russia you're in the middle of the cold war and you'll get to meet JFK and one of the voice actors is Gary Oldman. The game's still very short (you'll finish it in one playthrough if you have the time even on the harder levels) but it packs a punch. The endless zombie mode and it's annoying monetary system are a minus though, it isn't any fun unless you hack it!

Boston >Restaurants > Harvard Gardens
316 Cambridge St, Boston, MA | Directions 0211442.361016 -71.068939
Mon-Fri 11:30am-2am
Sat, Sun 11am-2am
Neighborhoods: Beacon Hill, Back Bay
Great place to grab a few drinks – I've been to Harvard Gardens on several different occasions and I have always had a great time. Located close to Mass General Hospital, Beacon Hill, Kendall Square, and downtown, so it draws a crowd from all over. It is a great after work spot, as well as a fun place to go at night... or even after going to a few other bars in the area. It is one of the more versatile bars in Boston and dependable for a good crowd. If you happen to be there late night, I highly recommend their White Truffle Parmesan Fries. They really hit the spot.
classy, casual and fun – My friends and I ventured over to HG after the Liberty Hotel line did not move at all. Conveniently located right by the MGH t-stop in Beacon Hill, HG offers a mix of casual and classy under one roof. The selection of males and females is an equal balance, and Saturday nights tend to bring out an evolving crowd of people either there to pregame, or there to stay, with new people constantly in line to get in. I have not tried any food – stuck only to wine – but my friends had mixed drinks and all the prices were on par for Boston. As a single female looking to mingle, I found a variety of men interesting enough to let engage me. I prefer when bars are most crowded to sit at the bar – that way you can scope out the scene better – and meet people who need to get drinks by helping them get the attention of the bartenders. Not a date spot because it can be too loud and busy to really get to know the person you went with. I recommend HG as a place to go with a group of people that might not all know each other, or a place to go if only a few people want to go out.
Worst Brunch Experience – We only waited a few minutes to sit down, but were not greeted by out waiter right away. When he did greet us he said they were out of ALL brunch items accept for eggs and omelets. He didn't come back for another 15-20 minutes to place our order. Our food took an hour to get to the table and the waiter did not alert us once to any kitchen updates or why the food was taking so long. We had ordered two omelets. When the food finally came, he didn't apologize for the delay. All of the food - eggs, bacon and potatoes were overcooked and looked and tasted as though they had been sitting out for a while. The waiter did not put any more effort than minimally needed to get us our food/see how we were doing. He also got one of the orders wrong. The check took just as long to get as it had to order our food. To say the least - not returning. Who is out of everything but eggs during brunch before noon?
Great Food, Nice Bar Scene – Went out to this restaurant for dinner with my sister and really enjoyed it! We were a little short on budget but still have high standards and this one met them and exceeded! We shared everything that we ordered and the staff was very courteous about it. The butterleaf cashew salad was excellent, the truffled parmesan fries were awesome, (very big serving, and even better on oven reheat later that night!) and the asparagus ravioli was particularily memorable. It had a great bar scene but still very convenient and comfortable dinner seating. If anything was lacking it was the airconditioning. It wasn't too hot, but on a stifling day I wanted a little more than room fans.
ridiculously HOT waitstaff & bartenders – great bar scene with equally great food. service is comparable to most other good restaurants only the staff at HG is downright gorgeous - read: serious eye candy. thursday nights are not to be missed - get there early, it fills up quickly so if you get there before 10, you can secure one of the coveted high top bar tables and stake out your section before the rush.
definitely try the tuna tartare - best in the city
Solid comfort food – The bar has a great vibe as it fills in during the weekdays with local doctors and businessman. The food is good, try the hamburger, its pretty good!
A lively bar scene and extensive, inviting menu of comforting faves make for an ideal all-purpose hangout on Beacon Hill. – The Scene
Located across the street from Mass General Hospital, the Gardens attracts a diverse crowd of area workers and Beacon Hill residents. At night, the dining room glows with candlelight and other romantic touches, while the handsome bar hosts a renowned singles scene. Friendly bartenders, a good selection of draft beers and an extensive, inventive drink menu (white chocolate mint martinis, watermelon margaritas) add to the appeal.
The Food
Chef Jared Hargreaves splits his lengthy menu between comfort food classics (creamy baked brie, savory Portobello sandwich, creamy mac-and-cheese) and an ever-changing list of modern fare (grilled romaine salad, savory blackberry-chestnut waffle with venison sausage). Thin-crust pizzas are light and flavorful; toppings include seared scallops, spicy chorizo and roasted artichokes. Popular weekend brunch service provides several hangover cures (pastrami hash, applewood-smoked bacon), done in style. Homemade desserts like a Guinness float or a sinful "chocolate lovers" platter for two are worth a visit alone.
obsessed... – LOVE the HG for food and drinks on an off-night.
The menu is great, my only negative is that I have so many favorites, I rarely try anything new. There is tuna tartar in a martini glass with plum sauce, good bibb lettuce salad, delicious chicken salad, inventive pasta dishes that can come in half-sizes, creative pizzas, etc. Wine list is decent, and quite inexpensive. Martinis and special drink list is fun and reasonably priceD. It is a little too much of a scene on thurs/fri/sat, as a line develops out front by 10pm, but the rest of the week it is not crowded.
Perfect neighborhood locale for casual dinner and drinks!
Not the same as it was – Fun food, fun drinks.
I love being able to order the best tuna tartar in boston, at the same place I can sling back beers have a burger and people watch. This place has come along way, I can call this my neighborhood place for any occasion, date, watching a game or special occasion
Suprise – I have not been to Harvard Gardens in sometime, I went back recently and was very suprised the food is not what it was, its much better, very exciting and the lovely crowds are still here. there now is a hugh menu with ton of specials, its worth trying

COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR MORE!!! – This was the best experience we have had yet planning our wedding. Margie was amazing..sweetest lady ever! My fiance kept putting off getting tuxes and once we got there he couldnt stop talking about it! He is thrilled.. and ever better we got the best price around!!! This is 100% the place to go to. We were going to get our cake and left with our tuxes ordered, my mom got her dress, and we are getting flowers too!
It gets better.. in this building you could also get ur wedding dress, mother of bride, cake, flowers, limo, honeymoon, tux, decorations, and more!!! Go here before anywhere else!! i wish i would have!
No Class Tuxedo!!! – I tried to use First Class tuxedo to rent some tuxedos for me and my groomsman. My best man and I went to the store to get our measurements taken. The store only had two tuxedos on hand, so don't expect to try anything on or even get to see the available styles. After we were measured and picked out styles from a catalog, we were told the tuxedos would be ordered, but they lost our information. I tried to contact Sean Jefairjian for a week and a half and no response. After leaving messages and sending e-mails, I went to the store where he acted as if he didn't get my calls or e-mails. He ordered another tuxedo for me and said I could try it on the next day. I arrived during store hours the next day but he had already went home and there was no tuxedo. The whole experience was a complete disaster! He lost my information 3 times, I traveled there 3 times and still no tuxedo. Unfortunately, I have to start over and look elsewhere, I suggest to everyone to look elsewhere also.
First Class Tuxedo is FIRST CLASS!! – I had my wedding in Pittsburgh, and as well all know, wedding plans can be stressful. BUT, with First Class Tuxedo, you can rest assured you will have one less stress to worry about. The owner is outstanding and available whenever I needed him, 24/7. We had some alterations needed a few hours before the wedding on a Sunday. The owner dropped what he was doing, drove to the site, and personally altered and pressed the tuxedos right in the room. IT WAS GREAT...you will never find that service from anyone. Do yourself a favor, go to First Class Tuxedo at Big Day for your needs. In fact, my father in law wanted to buy a tuxedo and he set him up as well. The tuxedos were perfect!!!
Above and beyond!!!!! – I recently attended a wedding being held in Pittsburgh and I came in from CT. My tux was delivered to the hotel. I tried it on but realized the pants were too long. The day of the wedding, the owner of the company came to the hotel and personally altered the length of the pants. When the groom said that the owner is available 24/7 he wasn't kidding. Who else can deliver that kind of service. Excellent job, I just wish he was in CT because I would use his service for my wedding. He will even come the day after the wedding to pick up the tuxedos.... Just amazing service.

Windows Me gave me more trouble than I liked. XP seems both more robust and faster. Try an opsys upgrade.Originally posted by analog:
Shutters ME, IE6.
Anything basic i shoulda done?
Good luck with that, I'm not fond of macs, myself, but they might suit you. You might try an opsys upgrade or a opsys change before you pitch the pc. OT likes FireFox and there are others using it, too, I think. Linux is pretty stable but I don't know how to tweek it. I loved my SunSparc 20 and the big Unix server, before our IT "improvement" pulled all the Unix boxes.Originally posted by analog:

As for Windows ME, it's a dead-end operating system, and MS doesn't even talk about it anymore. IMO, using it is living on borrowed time.

AUSTIN -- It seems everywhere you look in downtown Austin there's a new business going in, hotel popping up or restaurant opening, and that means parking spaces are hard to come by.
"More people are coming here everyday, so it's just a limited number of parking spots available," said J.R. Skrabanek who works downtown.
For people who prefer to drive downtown, things could get worse as more businesses set up shop.
The Austin City Council approved an ordinance eliminating the minimum number of parking spaces a business has to construct in and around downtown. Businesses will only have to provide parking for the disabled.
"What city council wants to do is encourage people to use alternative forms of transportation to travel to the downtown area, such as pedestrian, bicycle, transit," explained George Zapalac of the City of Austin Planning & Development Review Department.
"I think it's bad if you work downtown. It makes it harder to come downtown with the current public transit system. There aren't a lot of options if you don't live in the vicinity," said Deniz Varan who works downtown.
It's a hard concept for some Texans, but not to Michelle Persson Reilly and her husband Mark who are visiting from Boston.
"It never even occurred to us, going to a major city, to think about renting a car," said Persson Reilly. "In a city this small and this nice weather, there's no reason not to be walking, busing, cabbing."
Business owners who spoke with KVUE News seem to be torn about the new rules. Some say it will discourage people from coming downtown, while others, say it's not so bad.
Lisa Bagby, owner of the gift shop Prize, says she will just have to do a better job of letting her customers know what parking is available.
"We are lucky in that we are able to validate parking in two of the biggest lots downtown. We validate in AMLI and City Hall, so I guess we should do a better job of letting our customers know that," said Bagby.
So like it or not, many Austinites could soon be looking at other ways to get downtown.
"I think a lot of people won't be happy about it, I think there will be a lot of complaints. But if you want to come downtown and experience what Austin has to offer, you'll find a way to get down here," Skrabanek said.
City officials said they did a study on the parking that's available downtown and found there are several parking garages that are under-utilized. There will be an option for people who still want to drive. There are also several apps on the market that can help drivers find available parking in Austin.

Through centuries of cultural and religious influence, the human race has been taught that we exist separately from the animal kingdom and believe that because of our greater brain capacity, we have the right to manipulate and govern all other species. In relinquishing our acknowledgment of the scientific fact that we are indeed intrinsically connected to all other species, and having mismanaged our planet to the point of its imminent collapse, we have forfeited our birthright to a healthy and prosperous future. Existing without cognitive connection to this very essence of our cellular makeup has left us barren and searching for meaning. We have been living collective human lives that reflect a "motherless" upbringing, a lack of connection to our true nature, as one with Gaia Ma, our Earth Mother.
May this music inspire us all to awaken to the understanding that we, as the most evolved species on the planet, have not only a capability, but a responsibility to create a more survivable life for all sentient beings and the Earth we call home.

Students typically are naive about high interest rates, penalties from missing payments and the lousy credit scores that will hound them for years if they don't give their credit cards proper attention in college. Many adults, who are in trouble with debt today, started burying themselves with credit cards while in college.
Now banks find college students through their Facebook profiles and entice students through games and prizes, said Odysseas Papadimitriou, chief executive of CardHub.com, a site that compares credit cards.
About 35 percent of college students have credit cards, and three-quarters of those have them in their own name, according to a recent survey by lender Sallie Mae. Only a third pay their cards off each month; 42 percent carry balances of $500. Three percent carry $4,000.
Parents who want to keep tabs on their children in college may get a credit card for their offspring in both of their names. The interest rates on cards aimed at students average 16.3 percent, said Papadimitriou, providing this comparison: cardhub.com/best-credit-cards-for-college-students. Parents must guarantee payments so if a student fails to pay the balance each month, the parent must. If payments are missed, the parent's credit score will take a hit.
Yet, rather than parents overseeing student credit cards, Papadimitriou thinks parents should steer students to "secured cards" so the student learns to stay within a budget and be responsible, making timely monthly payments. With a secured card, the student can only charge as much as the sum of money that's deposited in advance. So, for example, if a student deposits $200 it remains security for the bank, and the student can charge up to $200. She then makes regular monthly payments to pay off any purchases she's made up to $200. Think of the $200 like a security deposit for an apartment. If the student makes card payments in a timely manner, and eventually closes the secured card, that's when the deposit will be returned.
Papadimitriou likes secured cards such as the Capital One Secured card because students who pay reliably build a credit history — a necessity after college in order to get credit cards, rent apartments or borrow for purchases like cars. He urges parents to have their children make the security deposit so they have money to lose if they are sloppy with their payments.
The drawback, however, is that there are fees for secured cards, and they can also be a hassle. If a student needs to buy a $300 airplane ticket home, but only has deposited $200 as security, she won't be able to buy the ticket until she deposits another $100.
I prefer the simplicity of a debit card instead. As long as there is no overdraft protection on it, the student won't be able to spend any more than she has in her checking account.
Ideally, before leaving your child at college, you will teach her to watch her balance in her checking account daily to make sure there is enough to cover debit card purchases. And you will have her create a budget for all her expenses.
For a detailed calculator that will walk you through a year, try bit.ly/Soo8bH. For a simple monthly budget, try bit.ly/aSUzlJ.
Papadimitriou notes that debit cards lack protection if stolen, and your child won't be building a credit history with a debit card. But students can also build credit histories by making student loan payments on time.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
We've all done it. We've all had it done about us and to us about others. I've tried hard over the years to stay away from people who just can't keep their mouths shut and like to spread false information about others. When we lived in West Allis, we had a woman on our block who really enjoyed herself as far as gossiping about everyone - mostly false. We were often the subject of her gossiping because we chose not to associate with her and didn't take any crap from her - others on the block were actually afraid to confront her because they were afraid she would "go after them". Unfortunately, when a gosssiping individual gossips about one person, they do it about others, as well. No one is immune.
I see this type of behavior where I work, in our condo complex and at get togethers with others. Gossiping can hurt a person's feelings; affect their reputation (if the gossiping is false); cause arguments because of incorrect information; and the list goes on and on. Walk away from people like this or just try to change the subject. Of course, realize that because of this, YOU may become the subject of their gossiping!

This is my last known Mayflower ancestor--phew!
James Chilton was a Separatist and was with the Pilgrims in Leiden, where he was a tailor. James was born about 1556 at Canterbury, Kent, England, son of Lionel Chilton. His baptism has not been found but the best source for his age is the 1619 Leiden Statement of Facts, which describes him as "approximately 63 years of age."
He was married in 1585/6 to a woman whose name is not known, although her name is often seen as Susanna Furner, which is incorrect. Their first child was baptized at St. Paul's, Canterbury on 15 Jan 1586/87.
James and his wife had children ten children, although three died young: Isabella, Jane, Mary (died young), Joel (died young), Elizabeth, James (died young), Ingle, Christian, James, and Mary.
James was named "Gifted Freeman" at Canterbury, quite an honor since a new mayor could only bestow this on one person within a year after taking office. From what I understand, it meant that James could run his drapery/tailoring business without restraint and without using apprentices.
|James Chilton autograph from mayflowerhistory.com
Perhaps due to their religious beliefs, the family relocated to Sandwich in Kent. I can't imagine leaving Canterbury, a place where James had a special standing in the community, would have been taken lightly. Mary was baptized in Sandwich on 31 May 1607, at St. Peter's. In 1609 Mrs. Chilton was charged with attending the secret burial service of a child (they opposed the burial services of the Church of England) and excommunication proceedings against her began. James was called to court for a variety of offenses, including hitting a man with a stick, causing upset at church, and another time he and two others were "bound over" for the enormous sum of 66 pounds.
|St. Peter's Church, Sandwich, Kent, where Mary Chilton was baptized
In 1619, James Chilton was caught with his daughter Isabella in an anti-Arminian (religious followers of Jacobus Arminius) riot in Leiden and he was hit in the head with a rock, requiring a visit to a surgeon.
At age 64, James was the oldest person on board the Mayflower. He brought along his wife and youngest daughter Mary. He died 8 December 1620 on board the Mayflower anchored in Provincetown Harbor. His wife died that first winter, leaving Mary an orphan at 13 years of age.
|Pilgrim Memorial Monument at Provincetown
After the death of her parents it is likely Mary joined the household of Myles Standish. In 1626 or 1627 Mary married John Winslow, who came on the Fortune in 1621 to join his brother Edward. Governor Bradford wrote that they had nine children. He also wrote that another daughter came to Plymouth after the Mayflower and that she had one child, but he does not give her name.
Mary and John's children: John, Susanna, Mary, Edward, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph, Isaac, an unnamed child who died young, and Benjamin.
The family resided in Plymouth for many years, but eventually removed to Boston. The house they lived in on Spring Lane is no longer standing. They transferred their church membership upon arriving at Boston to the Third Church, which became the Old South Church. The current Old South Meeting House was built after Mary's death. John was a very successful merchant.
|Plaque marking the site of Mary Chilton Winslow's home
John died in Boston in 1674 and Mary died there about 1679. He had written her will in 1676. John and Mary are buried at King's Chapel Burying Ground in Boston, where they have replacement stones.
|Mary (Chilton) and John Winslow replacement gravestone
You can view a transcription of Mary's will and inventory at:
http://www.pilgrimhall.org/willmchiltonwinslow.htm. The site also has a transcription of John Winslow's will.
A longstanding tradition has held that Mary Chilton was the first of the Mayflower passengers to step onto Plymouth Rock. Charles Thornton Libby carried out a detailed examination of this story, published as Mary Chilton's Title to Celebrity (Boston 1926, rpt. Warwick RI 1978). This seems highly unlikely, but it's a nice story nonetheless.

Anyone knows where I can get a keyboard to buy with the Ubuntu logo on the super key? If not where can I get some durable small plastic Ubuntu logos about 8 to 9 mm in diameter that I can use to glue on my keyboard?
You could buy one from ZaReason.com, but they are out of stock right now.
System76 gives away free Ubuntu stickers, including ones for the Super key, instructions on how to get them: http://www.system76.com/community/stickers/
I don't know of any with the Ubuntu logo, but I do know that Das Keyboards sell Linux Keycaps for their super keys (with Tux on it) on their keyboards. http://www.daskeyboard.com/products/. Canonical also sell an Ubuntu flexible keyboard in their store (with the Ubuntu logo along the side) but the super keys still contain the windows logo. http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=800. Hope this helps.
The Canonical store sells packs of stickers here that you can use to replace all the standard Windows branding on your machine, including two that you can choose from to cover the Windows logo on your super key--one orange-on-white, and one white-on-orange. Many of the other stickers come in these two variants, too.

If you need to watch your sodium and you have to used canned vegetables, it's worth rinsing them, but you just can't be sure how much sodium will go down the drain.
Speaking of vegetables, another reader asked me which single fruit or vegetable is the best. Here's my answer: Which Fruit or Vegetable is the Best One for Your Health?

Posts tagged: makeup tips for teens
Do you remember the first time you ever tried putting make up on? My grandma was an avid Clinique user so she always had a ton of free samples and gave them to me to play with starting around the age 10. When I first started playing with makeup it was just for fun to dress up with at home, but that still doesn't mean I had any idea what I was doing when I put it on! Over some years I played around with different colors and looks that I felt looked good on me. But, I got older and moved on to highschool, then college, and now a professional career, I have changed my looks based on what's appropriate. We have all seen young girls that want to wear make up, but aren't necessarly putting it on to where it compliments them or is age appropriate. Often I see young girls with black eye liner racoon eyes and far too much foundation, ect. So I wanted to focus this blog on young girls that want to wear make up, but don't want it to look like they have too much on. This is for teens and for their parents to help them with some techniques to keep them looking like a teen, not a 22 year old girls going to the club on Saturday night! This look is also very wearable for a simple weekend or day look for woman of all ages………..

Jun 27, 2012
Among the 50.7 million Hispanics in the United States, nearly two-thirds (65%), or 33 million, self-identify as being of Mexican origin, according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center. No other Hispanic subgroup rivals the size of the Mexican-origin population. Puerto Ricans, the nation's second largest Hispanic origin group, make up just 9% of the total Hispanic population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Overall, the 10 largest Hispanic origin groups—Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, Guatemalans, Colombians, Hondurans, Ecuadorians and Peruvians—make up 92% of the U.S. Hispanic population.2 Six Hispanic origin groups have populations greater than 1 million.
Hispanic origin groups differ from each other in a number of ways. For instance, U.S. Hispanics of Mexican origin have the lowest median age, at 25 years, while Hispanics of Cuban origin have the highest median age, at 40 years. Colombians are the most likely to have a college degree (32%) while Salvadorans are the least likely (7%). Ecuadorians have the highest annual median household income ($50,000) while Dominicans have the lowest ($34,000). Half of Hondurans do not have health insurance—the highest share among Hispanic origin groups. By contrast, just 15% of Puerto Ricans do not have health insurance.
