make drinking even more fun
Everyone has their own little quirks and phobias, and for many, the sight of a shark fin can be quite discombobulating. When that shark fin is only inches away from your eyes it can be even more so. The Shark Fin Shaped Ice Tray makes drinking even more fun and is a great way to frighten your friends (warning, for best effects, apply plenty of drink beforehand).

Michigan Activity Pass
The Michigan Activity Pass presented by The Library Network program is a partnership between Michigan's nearly 400 public libraries and 60 arts and cultural organizations. While this new program replaces the Museum Adventure Pass program, it will work in the same way. Library patrons will use their valid library card to reserve and print a pass, either from home or the library. Then simply take the pass to the cultural attraction and present it to staff, that's all there is to it! The Michigan Activity Pass program runs from May 24, 2013 through May 23, 2014. To print a pass or view a listing of participating organizations, visit http://michiganactivitypass.info. Each activity pass expires one week from the date it is printed. Some cultural partners offer complimentary or reduced price admissions; others, discounts in their gift shop or other exclusive offers for MAP passholders only. If you haven't taken advantage of this program in the past, here is your chance to visit some of the great attractions Michigan has to offer.

Men's Golf In Striking Distance at Coastal Georgia invite
ST. SIMONS, GA – Playing in their second tournament in as many weeks, the North Georgia men's golf team is in the middle of the pack after the opening round of the Coastal Georgia Men's Winter Invitational at the Sea Island Golf Course in St. Simons, Georgia.
The Saints sit in 6th place in the field of 11 teams after firing an opening-round 323, sitting just ahead of SCAD Atlanta at 334 and Young Harris College who recorded a 337 on the opening day. Shorter College holds the overall lead, putting together a 305 to sit atop the field heading into Tuesday's final round.
Howard Duffin led the charge for the Saints, firing a team-leading 76, while Matt Rochlin continued his stellar play, currently sitting three shots off Duffin after his opening round 79. Freshman Grant Rish walked off the 18th green with an 82, while Brian Mallory and Dillon Bowers rounded out the team, both recording an 86.
The Saints will play the final round of the two-round event on Tuesday morning, teeing off on No. 10 at the Sea Island Golf Course in St. Simons, Georgia.

The East Alabama Planning and Development Commission is helping the city compile the plan, which involves an in-depth look into issues such as land use, zoning and economic development. The findings will be placed into an official document by February 2015 that details strategies for city officials over the next 20 years.
"It basically gives a framework for what the city wants to do," said Ryan Kallem, Principal Regional Planner from the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission.
Kallem presented an economic analysis at the meeting, which had an attendance of more than 15. The analysis contained statistics about the city's income, education, employment and poverty levels. One trend noted was an increase in the poverty level from 2000 to 2010.
"We are really just speculating right now," Kallem said. "We can't say anything for sure until we have all the data."
Kallem also shared the results from 19 community values questionnaires that are available on the city's website. The purpose of these surveys is for citizens to voice both the positive and negative aspects of the community. Kallem cites the town square as a major concern.
"The town square is the heart of the community," Kallem said. "The square is a great opportunity but also a major threat if not properly handled."
Kallem said opportunities for the city include building more sidewalks that lead to downtown as well as bringing more businesses onto the square. However, he noted that the heavier traffic flow could lead to safety and parking issues.
The economy report is the first of a series of reports that will be drawn up over the next three years. The next comprehensive plan report will be presented at the Jacksonville Planning Commission meeting on August 20.
"We will look at all aspects of the community," said city planner Lynn Causey. "We've only just begun."

Telluride is the epitome of a bike-friendly town. It is also a place that knows how to roll out the welcome mat and throw a party. And it doesn't hurt that the town is nestled amongst some of the most scenic cycling routes you'll ever find.
All in all, it's a pretty sweet spot to kick off Colorado's favorite cycling tour. The town is pulling out all the stops this weekend to welcome the 2,000-plus cyclists, plus an entourage of up to 1,500 supporters, for the lead stage of the 28th Annual Ride the Rockies Colorado Bicycle Tour.
"The Town of Telluride is very excited to host Ride the Rockies," said Town Manager Greg Clifton. "I can think of no better place for 2,000-plus cyclists to start their journey across the Colorado high country. We love bikes – and we love a good party!"
Ride the Rockies is no stranger to Telluride. This is the fourth time in the event's 28-year history that RTR has come here – most recently in 2008.
But it is the first time this town has been selected to host the opening stage.
News of this year's RTR route, and Telluride's special place at its helm, was released in Denver in early February. Ever since then, a key group of organizers has been planning and preparing for the visitation of cyclists that is now upon us.
Those preparations can be grouped into roughly three categories: meeting the logistical needs of the cyclists and their supporters while they are in town; throwing an epic Ride the Rockies Street Party on Saturday, to showcase the community to the visiting cyclists; and sending the cyclists off in style the next morning with a grand opening ceremony.
Whether you are a RTR participant or a Tellurider wanting to partake in the celebration, here's what you need to know.
Most cyclists are traveling to Telluride from the Front Range, and are expected to arrive in town on Saturday, June 8. Upon arriving, all participants must check in at Tour Headquarters at the Telluride Middle/High School, between 1-7 p.m.
The school district is opening up the entire campus for RTR use. A colorful tent village will spring up on school grounds Saturday night (with some cyclists opting to sleep indoors). A shower truck will be set up on the soccer field.
In all, about 1,000 cyclists are expected to camp at the school. The remainder of the participants will stay with local lodgers throughout the community. According to the Telluride Tourism Board's Kiera Skinner, a number of local properties have already sold out in anticipation of the event.
A large bike-security area will be set up at Tour Headquarters, where participants can park their bikes overnight and retrieve them before departure in the morning. There will also be an information tent staffed by the Telluride Tourism Board.
Children and parents from Telluride preschools will be selling snacks and refreshments during registration. After settling in, cyclists are encouraged to walk into town to celebrate the beginning of an exciting week.
Cyclists and locals are invited to mix it up at the Ride The Rockies Street Party, on Main Street (between Aspen and Fir Streets), Saturday, from 1-9:30 p.m. This kick-off party offers live music, contests and activities throughout the day, and will showcase the best that Telluride has to offer, in terms of local cuisine and libations. The non-barricaded free event is open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to join in the festivities.
As a fundraising opportunity, the Telluride Youth Lacrosse Association will operate a beer garden (that also sells wine and margaritas). Local food vendors will offer samplings of Telluride's culinary specialties, and merchants will provide goods and services at the Expo located in Elk's Park. A kids' tricycle race, "Best Biker's Calf Contest," and photo ops with a professional photographer, are just a few of the many activities planned during the daylong event. The Main Street stage features great music all day, with DJ's T MUNZ and Juiceboxxx spinning the tunes and easing the crowd into a festive mood. Telluride's crowd-pleasing hometown band, The Great Funktier, takes the stage from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
At 8:30 p.m., High Country Shipping hosts a movie night at the Elks Club featuring shorts from the Mountainfilm Festival.
Opening ceremonies take place Sunday, June 9, at 7:30 a.m. at RTR headquarters (Telluride Middle/High School), where The Ride The Rockies/ Denver Post Community Foundation will announce and present a $5,000 grant to a local nonprofit organization. After the opening ceremonies,cyclists depart Telluride to pedal over Lizard Head Pass toward Cortez, their next destination. Over the course of the week, they will travel to Durango, Pagosa Springs, Alamosa, Salida and Cañon City, wrapping up with a tour finale in Colorado Springs on June 15.
The gondola connecting Telluride and Mountain Village operates from 7 a.m.-midnight on Saturday, and gets rolling again Sunday morning at 6 a.m. to accommodate cyclists staying in the Mountain Village. Telluride's municipal bus system, affectionately called the Galloping Goose, runs until Saturday, and then resumes service Sunday morning, at 6 a.m. Both modes of public transportation are free.
Cyclists will leave town on a rolling basis, and the Spur (the short stretch of highway running from Telluride to the turnoff for Lizard Head Pass) will remain open Sunday morning.
Parking in Telluride is always a challenge, even when there are not 3,000 extra people in town. There will be no parking available at Tour Headquarters, but there will be a drop-off zone, with signs directing cars to free public parking areas, which the town is coordinating, at Carhenge and the South Pearl Lot. Long-term parking is available, in Mountain Village, for a fee.
You know the routine. Telluride is helping to minimize the environmental footprint of Ride the Rockies by cooperating with an initiative to provide composting and recycling stations in addition to regular trash cans at key venues around town. Plenty of volunteers from Telluride's EcoAction Partners will be staged at all areas to assist answer questions.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Many of you will probably wonder
why we put Windows Vista on the cover of this month's issue. "So many other computer magazines are hyping Vista," you'll say. "Why does a Linux magazine have to do it? Aren't you supposed to be a refuge from Windows hype?" Hype, however, is the whole reason why an issue like this is necessary. The problem isn't that these other magazines mention Vista; the real problem is that, all too often, they mingle their coverage of Vista with a spoon-fed version of the Microsoft world view. In Microsoft's view of reality, Linux hardly even exists, but the best response to this limited perspective is not to imagine a world in which Windows doesn't exist. A more productive path is to take up the challenge of providing the information our readers will need to keep Windows and Linux connected. Windows is part of the landscape, like a tree or a rock. If you happen onto it, you have to either go around it or figure out some way to deal with it. In either case, it helps to have good information. Our goal is to report on things you'll need to know to keep your Linux systems running smoothly in mixed environments.

Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, Named One Of TIME Magazines 100 Most Influential People in the World
TIME has named Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), to the 2011 TIME 100, the magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related tributes appear in the May 2 issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, April 22, and now online HERE.
Richards, 53, is one of the most recognized and respected figures in the field of women's health and reproductive rights. As president of PPFA and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Ms. Richards leads a dynamic organization that provides high-quality, affordable health care services to three million women, men and teens each year. PPFA also provides sexual health information to 24 million people worldwide each year through plannedparenthood.org.
Earlier this year, Ms. Richards led Planned Parenthood as it faced down a direct threat to women's health care. At issue was a congressional measure, approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, that would have barred Planned Parenthood from providing lifesaving breast exams, screenings for cervical cancer, birth control and other preventive care through Medicaid and other federal programs. On April 14, the U.S. Senate resoundingly defeated the proposal with bipartisan support by a vote of 58-42.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's foremost provider of sexual and reproductive health care and sex education. Its 84 affiliates operate more than 800 health centers nationwide. It is also a forceful advocate for women's health and rights.
Planned Parenthood was born in 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened the nation's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York, and impoverished immigrant women lined up for help planning and controlling their pregnancies. Local authorities promptly shuttered the clinic and jailed the founders, but Sanger had launched a powerful movement that is still growing and thriving — despite continued political resistance.
"I am thrilled to accept this honor on behalf of the generations of women associated with Planned Parenthood who have stood together to deliver health care, share honest information about sex, and defend women's rights," Richards said. "Planned Parenthood has never wavered in its commitment to help people decide when and how they want to start a family. Our volunteers, employees and supporters have pioneered new methods of birth control, including the pill, and worked on the ground to make basic health care and honest information about sexual health available to all who need it. They are the people who have earned this honor, and I thank every one of them for making it possible. The millions of patients we care for are healthier for it and are living fuller lives."
Ms. Richards joined Planned Parenthood in 2006. Among other initiatives to reinvent the organization for the 21st century, she invested in the development of Planned Parenthood Online, a unified national website in English and Spanish. The site now receives 2.6 million unique page views per month, exponentially expanding Planned Parenthood's reach. She has also overseen the introduction of groundbreaking mobile Web, chat, and text applications that promise to make Planned Parenthood services available to people any time of day or night, wherever they may be.
Under Ms. Richards' leadership, Planned Parenthood has built the largest women's health advocacy organization in America, with 5.7 million supporters. She introduced the PPFA Youth Initiatives Program to train teens from across the United States in advocacy, lobbying, and media outreach so they can mobilize their peers and organize grassroots efforts on behalf of sex education and reproductive rights locally, nationally and globally.
Before joining Planned Parenthood, Ms. Richards served as deputy chief of staff for Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. In 2004, she founded and served as president of America Votes, a coalition of 42 national grassroots organizations, working to maximize registration, education, and voter participation nationwide. Ms. Richards began her career organizing low-wage workers in the hotel, health care, and janitorial industries throughout California, Louisiana, and Texas.
Ms. Richards is married to Kirk Adams and they have three children. She is the daughter of the late Ann Richards, who served as governor of Texas.
The TIME 100, now in its eighth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world's most influential individuals. As TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel has said of the list in the past, "The TIME 100 is not a list of the most powerful people in the world, it's not a list of the smartest people in the world, it's a list of the most influential people in the world. They're scientists, they're thinkers, they're philosophers, they're leaders, they're icons, they're artists, they're visionaries — people who are using their ideas, their visions, their actions to transform the world and have an effect on a multitude of people." Follow @TIME for updates about the list on Twitter and at Facebook.com/TIME.

Product Review: Breville 5-Quart Stand Mixer
In the world of stand mixers, one name stands above the rest: KitchenAid. When I was putting together my wedding registry, one of the first items I added was a pear-green KitchenAid stand mixer, crossing my fingers that someone might be nice enough to buy it. But then I was given a Breville 5-quart stand mixer to try out and test for review here, and a week later I took the KitchenAid off my registry. Why did I change my mind?First, you should know I am a stand mixer newbie. I have never owned one, and can count on one hand the number of times I've used one at work or at a friend's house. I didn't care about brands when I pulled the Breville out of the box; I was just excited to try some of the recipes I had avoided (brioche! marshmallows!) because I didn't own a stand mixer.
So I put it to work, making cake batters, double batches of cookies, bread dough, and those homemade marshmallows. Along the way, I began to realize the Breville has features the KitchenAid doesn't, features I would certainly miss if that pear-green mixer actually did land on my front porch.
Favorite Features
Here are the stand-out features of the Breville mixer. I know that the KitchenAid has some of these as well, but I just wanted to tell you what stood out to me.
• A well-designed front handle which makes it easy to lift the 20-pound appliance onto the counter.
• A thermo-cutoff system, which automatically switches off the mixer if the motor begins to overheat. I never triggered this feature, but I imagine it would help protect the motor if you do a lot of heavy-duty bread-baking.
• An easy to operate dial control, with clear, simple displays that translate the 12 speeds of the mixer into baking terms like "knead," "fold" or "whip."
• A digital timer that can count up or down, which is my number-one favorite feature. Counting down means you can set the mixer to a certain amount of time and step away. When the time is up, the mixer stops and your batter isn't overbeaten because you were distracted by a phone call. Counting up means you can figure out the timing of your favorite recipes — how long to whip the eggs before you fold them into the batter, for instance — making your baking even more precise. The control dial includes a "pause" setting, which stops the mixer and pauses the timer, so you can add more ingredients or wash a spatula without disrupting the timer.
The mixer is solidly built, with a 550-watt motor that feels powerful but is surprisingly quiet. Included with the mixer is a flat beater, a scraper beater, a wire whip, a dough hook, a spatula, and a pouring shield. For light batters, the scraper beater does an excellent job of reaching the edges of the bowl, as some of the above photos show.
My only minor complaint is that it takes two hands to tilt up the head — one to hit the tilt-release button and one to push up on the front handle — which can be inconvenient if one hand is slippery with butter or covered with wet dough. (That, and the fact that it doesn't fit under my cupboards! But that is the fault of my wonky rental kitchen, not the mixer.) It is a small issue with an appliance that is otherwise a pleasure to use. If I have to return the mixer to Breville post-review, it won't be a KitchenAid taking its place; it will be another Breville.

Oh I'd die for one of these. I still use my mom's old 70's era sunbeam. It get's the job done, but there's lots of bells and whistles I'm living without. A dough hook would be a life saver for me.
I don't own a stand mixer, but I have always believed that stand mixer is synonymous with Kitchen Aid. I think part of the reason why is that the Kitchen Aid lasts for years. My mother's is still going after twenty five years.
i wonder if the Breville can stand the test of time that way.
My husband came with his own KitchenAid mixer (bonus!) which we use for baking occasionally but we use it more for the attachments (meat grinder, veggie strainer, etc.) than for actual mixing. The Breville looks very nice but it doesn't seem to have any attachments. If it had an accessory port that fit KitchenAid attachments, it would definitely be on my wish list if our current mixer died.
This is good to know. I've always suspected that there are stand mixers out there that are just as good (if not better) as the coveted KitchenAid. Nice to have a first-hand opinion.
I guess I'm not getting rid of my Kitchen Aid any time soon, but the timer feature sounds like a game changer to me.
I thought it was pretty funny that when I viewed this article, an advertisement featuring a Kitchen Aid stand mixer one of the ads. :)
i don´t know about everyone else's kitchen aid, but mine has a over heating feature, that cuts of and cools the engine if you over use it.
I have a Kitchen Aid. It's my grandmother's from at least the 1960s and it's still going strong. It's not pretty, but it certainly gets the job done.
While the handle is nice, it takes away some of the features of the KitchenAid that I love- the front attachments that really make my stand mixer a multi-tasker.
I do like the timer addition though.
Before you buy a Kitchenaid, do a lot of reading. The old ones had metal gears. The new ones have cheapie plastic gears and many cooks have said they dont last. If you have an old one, hold onto it. It is a gem. I want a Breville!
I bought the vintage styled sunbeam, I really like it. It is pretty quiet and gets the job done, it has the front handle also. It was only $29 on clearance so I gave it a try.
The Breville looks nice but as others have mentioned the fact that it doesn't have any accessory ports makes it a nonstarter for me. Why not take a look at the 800 watt 5.5 quart Cuisinart SM-55? The Cuisinart seems to include all the features of both the KitchenAid and Breville besides the carrying handle. Plus, the Cuisinart allows for more attachments than any other mixer I've seen.
I have this mixer and I love it. I got it as a 21st birthday present (but I picked it out myself). The scraper beater is by far my favourite feature- I don't have to constantly stop and scrape the bowl. I do it once (to get the top 'line' of mixture that inevitably forms) and that's it. I also love the timer, I can just set it and go about working on other parts of the recipe and it will stop itself when the clock runs down. You can now buy an ice cream bowl attachment (at least here in Australia, Breville is an Australian quality brand) and when I got mine I got a free set of digital scales with a built in digital thermometer. I was split between the KitchenAid and Breville, but the Breville was cheaper and I don't have the need to mince meat or use an electric appliance to make pasta. I am in Australia though, and a lot of the offers they have on the mixer (different colours, power, attachments) seem not have filtered through to the American market yet.
I have a refurbed KA stand mixer that has never worked quite right, but I didn't realize it till I'd had it past the refurb warranty expired. Grr. But ti's still running, despite the abuse it's taken, including being shipped across North America. My mom's KA went strong for 30 years (its death is a long & funny story), and she got a professional model afterward. I'm impressed that the Breville comes with its own spatula beater! I had to order the one I have for my KA from Beater Blade, and I don't know what I did without it. And it looks like the Breville's is metal, where my Beater Blade is plastic (which has yet to show signs of strain, I must say). I use mine even for stiffer doughs, like oatmeal cookies.
I 3rd the warning on the new Kitchen Aides.... My sister in law is a high school home ec teacher (yes, they still exist) and said that the KAs went cheap and plastic. The old ones I am sure are worthy of deep love but I would look someplace else for a new version. As I am currently in the market for a new mixing machine, I really liked this article but am also concerned about long term durability. The only reason I am replacing my Bosch is because it and everything else was lost in a wildfire... Hopefully, I can find something durable enough to last the next 40 years.

Things I like about the iPhone:
Things I dislike about the iPhone and why I would never buy it:
- Build Quality
- Phone Design
One thing about the iPhone 5 is that I can understand folks loving the way it looks, it's a great looking phone...but then what is the first thing folks go out and do after getting an iPhone? They buy a protective case that covers it all up. Cases just ruin the best feature the phone has.
- Pretty much zero customization abilities
- No flash
- No widgets
- No removable battery
- Tethered to iTunes
- No file transfer via bluetooth
- User interface is dull & dated
- Removal of Google Maps in iOS6 & replaced with Apple Maps, which is horrible
- No SD-Card
Meh...it's a very nice phone, but when you compare it against the high end Android phones? Nah...I couldn't see myself ever getting one.
To each his own though. If you like it and it works better for your situation than an Android phone does, then go for it.

Prospect Camp Observations - Day 3
By Mike Gallimore
The third day of camp opened Thursday with goalies-only instruction followed by a mixture of power skating sessions, passing and shooting drills, which I saw the bulk of but could not stay to see in their entirety.
Following are just a few takeaways from watching Day 3's on-ice action:
Brief Impressions
Austin Czarnik (pictured), a forward invitee, shows plenty of burst and skill with the puck but (and, of course, this isn't an indictment) he's tiny. TINY. It'll be interesting to see if he's got the grit and peskiness of Cory Conacher, last year's camp darling, to compliment the strong offensive talents, most notably an extremely quick release which launches a consistently hard and accurate wrist shot. He's worth keeping an eye on, especially as a teammate of fellow high-grade forward prospect Jimmy Mullin at Miami.
Invitee D Garret Clarke, in terms of stature and build, bears a strong resemblance to prospect D Kiril Gotovets. At one point, both were side-by-side in a corner during a drill and it was not easy, by any means, to distinguish them. The few minutes I focused on Clarke were during a repetitious and routine passing and shooting drill. Aside from his poise–he was one of the most consistent in executing each attempt–what truly stuck out about him was how heavy his wrist/snap shot was. His is an interesting, if checkered, past. Once highly-touted juniors prospect who backed out of a verbal commitment to play college hockey with North Dakota, he has bounced around teams ever since and was at the center of one of the more bizarre junior hockey scenarios a couple years ago.
I've heard plenty of pucks hit the glass at the Ice Sports Forum over the years but invitee D Andrej Sjustr, who I've already written about to some extent, rifled a snap shot high over the net that made a distinct and startling smacking sound that gave the impression he had cracked panel of glass it struck. It was funny, of course, to see a couple unsuspecting attendees duck in reaction. I have yet to see Sjustr wind up and really try to crank one, but I'm now extremely eager to see what kind of zip he can get on his slap shot. If Sjustr can generate plus velocity, it would really add some fuel to the early comparisons to Zdeno Chara.

text: Latest News California Health Benefit Exchange Votes to Not Allow Stand-Alone Vision Plans to Directly Participate By Staff Monday, September 03, 2012 12:30 AM RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.—The California Health Benefit Exchange voted on Aug. 23 to not allow stand-alone vision plans to directly participate in its insurance program for individuals when it launches in 2014. However, while stand-alone vision plans have been barred from the exchange through which individuals in California will be able to purchase health insurance, stand-alone vision plans will be permitted to participate in a separate exchange being established for small businesses, which will also make its debut in 2014. In an Op-Ed piece for the Sacramento Business Journal last week, Rob Lynch, president and CEO of VSP Global took exception to this decision. In it, he made the case for why VSP in particular should have been allowed to participate in the California exchange, citing a number of statistics, including the fact that since the company started 57 years ago it has grown into the largest health insurer as ranked by the more than 58 million members covered. He also stated, "What's even more inconceivable is that in California, VSP is also the largest insurer by membership—larger than Anthem Blue Cross, Kaiser and Blue Shield combined with 14.3 million Californians covered by our company. Department of Managed Health Care data confirms that 93 percent of vision care coverage is provided through stand-alone plans like VSP. As a not-for-profit health plan we provide coverage to Medi-Cal, Medicare, CHIP and Healthy Families participants on a cost-effective and non-discriminatory basis." In his editorial, Lynch even hinted that the company would consider moving out of California: "Like other successful California companies, we have been heavily solicited to relocate out of state with incentives and subsidies. Choice is important in the marketplace. California has chosen not to support one of its own home-grown successful businesses, with 2,000 employees in California. Maybe it's time for us to choose to go where we are wanted." A VSP spokesperson told VMail, "While we are disappointed with the California Health Benefits Exchange Board's vote, we are committed to our doctors and will continue to fight for their access to patients through the state exchanges. Both Maryland and Massachusetts have voted to include stand-alone vision plans directly, recognizing both the value and cost benefits these types of plans provide." (See "Maryland Approves Stand-Alone Vision Plans in State Health Exchange.") Julian Roberts, executive director of the National Association of Vision Care Plans, told VMail, "Essential Health Benefits covering so many more pediatrics is a win for vision care as a whole, but we are disappointed now that in some situations in California that there might not be as much choice or access as if they had opened the exchange to both comprehensive and stand-alone vision care. As we continue down this road, we're hoping that we can expand coverage and choice to Americans regardless of the structure of these exchanges."

This car was my 36th birthday present from my wife.
It was in nice driver condition with 59457 original miles We drove it like it was for 2 years enjoying every minute. Then started the restoration. All paint was taken back buy hand to the factory black primer for a good base. Body was in perfect condition with no cracks or damage at all. Then started with the sealer coat, primer coat, more rubbing, more primer, more blocking including making fiberglass bumpers fit (lots of work but better than the urethane in the long run) all in all, alot of hard labour. Then came the 4 coats of Corvette Torch Red followed by 5 coats of clear coat enough for the color sanding.

Beyonce has already done more in 2013 than many pop stars do in a year (a Super Bowl half time show, an HBO documentary, and a new album set to drop in April as well as an accompanying world tour), so it's no surprise that she sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an in depth "Next Chapter" interview to talk about her busy life.
Here's what Bey told O -- and what you need to know.
Beyonce and Jay-Z were friends first
Beyonce told Oprah she and her husband Jay-Z started out as friends, logging a lot of phone minutes at the start of their relationship. "We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any dates … on the phone for a year and a half. And that foundation is so important for a relationship," she said. "I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man."
Motherhood has changed her
Since the birth of daughter Blue Ivy last January, Beyonce is a changed woman, saying the birth of her baby "made everything make sense."
"My daughter introduced me to myself," she said. "Everything just completely connected and I said now I know who I am… I wasn't complete before my daughter."
Of the elusive Blue Ivy -- who fans finally get a glimpse of at the end of Beyonce's "Life Is But A Dream" documentary -- the proud mom described her as "hilarious."
"She is hilarious and she is fire," Beyonce said. "She's very smart. She loves books … she's doing flashcards." Bey also dropped another bombshell: "I definitely want another child," she said. "Maybe after this next tour, maybe I'll have another baby."
Firing her father was one of the hardest things she's ever done
Of dropping her father, Matthew Knowles, as her manager after 20 years, Beyonce said the 2011 end of their business relationship was the hardest thing she's ever gone through.
"I had to tell myself at some point you have to be the adult your father has prepared you to be," she said. "We both knew it was time a few years before."
She thinks she may have caused the Super Bowl power outage
"I think I did," she told Oprah, citing all of her bottled up energy at this year's Super Bowl. While the power went out for 34 minutes at New Orleans' Superdome shortly after her electrifying 12-minute halftime show performance, Beyonce said she was pumped. "I knew I had it, I felt the magic," she said.

Why does everything New York always try to make itself bigger than it really is? I hate everything associated with that city.
J.R. Smith's absence underscores his importance to Knicks' offense
Because of the makeup of this Knicks team, J.R. Smith's capacity for prolific, implausible and occasionally frustrating shot creation has made him essential. This was all too apparent in the Knicks' offensive flub in a Game 4 loss to the Celtics, a contest that Smith missed after being suspended one game for elbowing Jason Terry during Game 3.
Without its second-leading regular-season scorer Sunday (Smith will return for Game 5 on Wednesday with his team leading 3-1), New York's offense folded itself into Carmelo Anthony's pocket. In 45 minutes, Anthony attempted an astonishing 35 shots from the field and 20 from the free-throw line — totals that, when combined with his seven turnovers, made him the end point on 51.7 percent of the Knicks' possessions. Even the most ball-dominant players in the league typically cap out, usage-wise, around 35 percent, but Anthony has exceeded that standard in general this series (43 percent usage rate) and was in total control of New York's offense in Game 4.
That ball domination — and the single-minded way in which Anthony went about it — turned out to be New York's undoing, and the primary force behind an early and significant deficit that the Knicks couldn't overcome. Some strong complementary performances from Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert eventually helped close the gap when Anthony was off the floor, and the cumulative weight of Anthony's 20 free-throw attempts made a big dent in Boston's lead as the game progressed. But overall, a Knicks team that managed to score at a rate of 99.8 points per 100 possessions in the first three games of this first-round series was held to a Celtics-like efficiency of 66.4 points per 100 possessions in the first half. That the Knicks were able to recover and force overtime is a hell of a feat, but they undoubtedly know now that it never should have come to that.
Smith's availability alone wouldn't have made shots fall (though the Sixth Man Award winner says the Knicks would have swept the Celtics had he played), but there is a greater offensive influence in play with New York's shoot-first super-sub. Smith has been given ample credit this season for reining in his playing style, mixing his gunslinger mentality with a more prudent and restrained role. Yet it's by Smith's very presence that Anthony, too, has seemingly evolved. Melo is still a fill-it-up scorer with immediate physical advantages, but New York's best stretches this season have come with a universal buy-in to a more stable offensive concept. Anthony was, is and should be a huge part of that revision, but it requires that he lean on teammates like Smith and Felton to help him create more varied offense, or at the very least create a bit of misdirection. There was no revolution of conscience or massive upgrade in skill set for Anthony over the course of this season, but even his slight change in approach had done a world of good in making New York a more dynamic offensive team.
With Smith absent from the rotation, the Knicks retreated into a tired, predictable setup almost immediately. New York had isolated Anthony plenty in the first three games of this series, but there seemed to be a tangible shift in the mindset of both Anthony and his teammates, one visible from the game's opening possessions and sustained through overtime. Setting up Anthony for a one-on-one sequence was no longer a mere contingency to a busted pick-and-roll, but an uncompromising default, as Melo would position himself on the same turf over and over again without even the slightest attempt to manufacture offense through different means*.
*To Anthony's credit, he was still able to create some decent looks against single coverage, but suffered from a poor shooting afternoon and some unfortunate rolls. Those kinds of factors will be in play regardless of Anthony's approach, though there's a particular disadvantage in going to work in isolation — an inherently low-value possession type — so consistently when the ball isn't taking favorable bounces.
It's not as if the Knicks suddenly pick up Princeton-style ball movement whenever Smith takes the court, as this team's best creators are still primarily catch-and-dribble types. But we've seen New York's offense go from merely good with Anthony on the floor sans Smith (112.2 points per 100 possessions) to slightly better (113.7) when the two play together, according to the website NBA Wowy. Yet more important than that increase in production is the sustainability gained by diversifying the offense. Anthony is talented enough to carry the Knicks by himself for stretches in a regular-season setting, but in a thoroughly scouted playoff series against a top-tier defensive team, flanking Anthony with another ball-handler gives the Knicks an important adaptability. Felton (who bumps New York's offensive efficiency up to 115.8 points per 100 possessions when playing with Anthony and Smith) only adds to that resilient quality, as all three creators can play off of the movement and placement of one another without oversimplifying the offense to the degree New York readily accepted in Game 4.
Smith is an essential part of that pitch — to Anthony and coach Mike Woodson both — for more viable, team-wide offense, and his suspension coincided with New York's strategic regression. There's no doubt that Anthony is New York's best shot creator, just as there was no doubt that Smith's absence would likely require Melo to create even more than usual. But jamming things up with telegraphed, solvable offense only exacerbated the problems caused by Smith's suspension and negated the potential for positive contributions from New York's other role players.
Under the iso-Melo framework, players such as Jason Kidd, Tyson Chandler, Steve Novak and Pablo Prigioni don't much contribute or even space the floor; they're made to be mere onlookers, marginalized to the point of providing negligible value in a floundering offense. Felton, who scored an invaluable 27 points in Game 4, went 5-for-5 from the field in the five minutes he played while Anthony sat (per NBA Wowy), but just 5-for-16 in the 43 minutes in which they shared the court. Some of that can be attributed to a classic Felton hot streak at an opportune time, but Anthony's vacated post on the right wing also opened up the floor and the Knicks' offensive flow, while the iso-centric bent complicated matters for New York's most pivotal dribble-driver.
There's a very evident irony in the fact that Smith — or at least his absence — symbolizes the virtues of a more balanced, team-centric offense, but in the context of this weird Knicks team that's the counterintuitive function he's come to provide. Smith is still a gunner, but in this role he comes in not only to score but also to relieve; Anthony will get his touches and will even get his isos, but with the benefit of just one more player capable of hitting shots and counterattacking from the weak side, Anthony and the Knicks typically play a more enterprising offensive game. This team can still bog itself down, but Smith's value is in keeping things interesting, keeping things varied and keeping opponents on their toes. His judgment may veer into the absurd and his shot selection may be indefensible at times, but even Smith's erratic support can make for a game-saving benefit.
Why does everything New York always try to make itself bigger than it really is? I hate everything associated with that city.
Knicks gonna close out the Celtics tonight. KNICKSTAPE!!! http://tinyurl.com/GoingtotheKnicksGame
@6marK6 @NYKBlaze Did I say they were? We're up 3-1 and lost one game in OT after losing our second best player for a game and our best player played the worst he's played in 2 months. Just happy The Knicks have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs and if luck has it, make a title run. No need to hate man. Most New Yorkers don't think of themselves as better than everyone else. That's your own insecurities brother.

201 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD | Directions 2120239.286151 -76.611099
Neighborhoods: Inner Harbor
Great view of the Harbor, good live music on Friday night...yummy crab dip and hummus.
Tir Na Nog is the best place to watch the matches at; the whole bar is filled with a family of real fans - all shouting at each other, most from England, and shouting at the huge projector screen.
Ok, so not a soccer fan? Outdoor bar in the summer. Enough said. Um...crab legs, HUGE beers (serious - these glasses are cartoon gigantic) and boys with the cutest accents!
I really enjoy this bar. It is always loud and crazy and a good time. Cheap beer.
I can always count on Tir Na Nog to provide excellent food at reasonable prices.
We had a nice table with a view of the harbor. Our waitress came over almost immediately and took our drink order. While she was getting our drinks, a different server asked if anyone helped us. Drinks came and we placed out food order. Our server seemed indifferent at best and just had no personality. Drinks were good, fish and chips were as well. Nice place
No matter where we go in Center City, we ALWAYS end the night at Tir Na Nog. I'm giving this place 5 stars based on the atmosphere and the service. It's a great irish bar where even the bar tenders have an irish accent. Great beer selection and Mike is the best bartender, always takes great care of us and remembered us even after our second time there! The food is good..it's good bar food. Dark wood decor and many TV's. Love it.
Tir Na Nog Bar and Grill. We have been here 3 times and each time the food is better. Wonderful food, wonderful staff, wonderful chef, and great prices!.
Very tasty lunch. Very good service. Great view of the harbor when eating outside! I recommend!
The food is tasty and filling. Good portion sizes. Great choices for my three teenage sons. The patio is the best part. I love the view of the inner harbor. Wait staff are friendly and competent.
For tourists, locals beware! – We happened to find ourselves at Harbor Place and needed to duck in somewhere to grab a bite for lunch. Unlike most of the other restaurants at Harbor Place, there were no wait at Tir Na Nog. This should have been our first clue that we were in for it.
The menu is uninspired quasi-Irish food. It's way overpriced considering what you got. I ordered bangers and mash. The sausage was nothing more than regular breakfast sausage and the gravy can straight out of a can. There were some oversauteed greens on top of instant mashed potatoes with some shredded cabbage which was being passed off as colcannon. My husband got a corned beef sandwich and wilted fries.
We will never go back here!

Do not take the blame for his actions concerning his affairs. That was all about him and his poor coping mechanisms, just as yours were about you. You can understand the fact that he was a broken person when he did that just as you were, but you were not responsible for him making that horrible decision. That is something he has to own.
I think it is good that you are starting to own the fact that you are both in the same marriage here. Being in a madhatter situation puts each spouse in a unique position of understanding the pain that the other spouse is going through. Use that to be empathetic to what he is going through. I feel that this could be a stepping stone to your healing.
I read your other thread. Your H is blameshifting and gaslighting you. And you are buying into it because of your WS status in your other marriage. Stop doing this. You know in your gut what he is doing is wrong. Draw your line in the sand and decide what yo want in your life and marriage and then demand that. If this is not acceptable to you then tell him and move forward from there. He will continue to do this as long as you allow this because of your guilt. We teach people how we want to be treated and you are teaching him that this is ok. You know that this is wrong.
Welcome, sorry you are here. Is there any way for you to check your phone bill online?
Ask your H to see his phone, if he refuses this is a huge red flag and you will need to determine what your line in the sand is going to be with this.
I really have very few people that i can talk to physically. All my close friends know about my past, i am so afriad to say anything because i dont want to get the "what goes around comes around"...
And who wants to hear a mummbling WS lement about something like this.....
Do you truly feel you deserve to be treated like this?
I still have a bit of anger at myself for doing what i did to my first husband, the way i handled it.
I am a better person now. I have so much more respect for myself and my current relationship that I know that no matter what happens between DH and I now, an affair is never an option.
I just wonder if i did enough for the Karma bus to move on by you know?
Please try to not let your past M carry into the present. Your H is being a jerk.
I think at some point you need to quit dragging your past around behind you and feeling like you need to be punished for it. Your punishment need not come in the form of allowing your current husband to have an affair and treat you like this. That is really not how this works.
It sounds to me like you still have some work to do in the shame area. Be careful with that. It can get you in trouble with wallowing. Stand up for yourself and how you should be treated.
He is definitely gas lighting you hardcore. Don't take his shit. Are y'all in IC or MC? Sounds like you really need it. And I think he is feeling very entitled, up to no good, and using your A and the threat of D as an excuse to get away with whatever he is up to. You said something about latest OW is a new officer. Military? LEO? Regardless, if he is having a workplace A, he is going to hide it like his life depends on it. I suggest sticking around and learning on SI for a while and then when the IT boards open for you, you can learn how to sleuth better. He is going to slip up in some way eventually if he is as far down the rabbit hole as he sounds.
It sounds to me like you still have some work to do in the shame area. Be careful with that. It can get you in trouble with wallowing. Stand up for yourself and how you should be treated.
I have been trying. I have told DH that Tit for Tat doesnt work in my world.
A's are a different breed of hate that WS's dont deserve either.
I do have some shame, but I have a lot less of it then i have had in the past.
I am really lucky that right now i have my little SI voice in my head when we get into arguements....I dont feel so alone when we have an arguement and i am defending myself.
Just stumbled upon log in cell info today (accidentally kind of). I haven't had any contact with my EA since July 1. My H forced it on me, but now I am glad. The fog has lifted. Now I want to fix it, but he isn't cooperating. He is a police officer. The only admitted PA was a dispatcher. The other suspected (atleast EA, inappropriate, over texting - like 2000 a month, half naked photos) have all been other cops. After reviewing the cell records, I found out today that he has texted his previous PA a few times in the last few months. To beat all, I worked fri - mon (nurse) and my patient was a friend of the PA's family and she came ALL 4 days to visit the woman. She even asked me if I remembered who she was. Seriously?! (I said "of course I do" with a huge psycho smile on my face since there were a crowd of others around). In addition to all of this, there are other numbers I don't recognize on there and idk what the best way is to find out who's they are. Ugh. I want to scream.
P.S. No we aren't in IC or MC. He won't agree to it. Never would.
[This message edited by pecia at 8:49 PM, September 26th (Wednesday)]
You have several things going on in your post.
Being a madhatter we have to be careful that we don't get into comparing affairs. In doing so we start comparing who's pain is greater, and pain is relative. Early on when I found out about my H's EA this was something that I would engage in doing and I had to learn to stop. Bottom line, what I did to him was just as hurtful as what he did to me and that is where it ends.
The other issue you are discussing is a pre-A issue and many times these pre-A issues have to be put on the back burner for awhile until we get to the reasons why we chose to go outside of our M and broke our vows. I realize there may be a lot of resentment there on your side due to what he did, but focusing on his actions allows you to not focus on you and what you did. He needs to do the same as well.
Being a madhatter is a very difficult situation to be in, you are having to deal with the pain of what your partner has done, live with the damage to the M, try to fix yourself, and try to help support your partner all at the same time. It almost requires you to be superhuman.
I wish you luck in your journey.
An A, is an A. Bottom line is that trying to argue who's worse after infidelity has occurred on both sides is a wash. Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes or beliefs here, but that is my honest opinion (not even my idea, MC's). But my H is still treating this like my betrayal was worse and less forgivable than his. I'm not still harboring anger or resentment (I've been through a lot of crap in my life. After so long you realize screwed up crap and mistakes for what they are. Potholes in the highway of life, that once in the rear view mirror don't deserve the dignity of a backward glance. Otherwise while you're looking behind you at the holes you've gone over cause you to swerve and crash into whatever is in front of you. Because the world keeps spinning, and the days keep passing by. You can either pull over and let a flat tire force you into a screeching halt, or you can get off your ass. Fix the tire, and keep driving. ) I don't, however, expect him to share that view. I do expect for him to understand that forgiveness doesn't mean it quits hurting. That just because I smile, and laugh and move forward through life, because no matter how bad it hurts, life stops for nothing. And I'm more interested in fixing the tire and moving forward than I am glaring in the rear view at the pothole that busted the tire in the first place. But all that doesn't change the fact that I worry that more potholes will be ahead, and wonder how many more tires that might need fixing. Either way, I'm sick of him comparing the two A's/ONS's. it is unfair and I'm tired of being emotionally beat up on.
Him beating up on you emotionally is not a good thing either. Have you showed him remorse for what you did with breaking your vows? Do you feel that this might be what he is looking for from you? Are you looking for that from him?
But my H is still treating this like my betrayal was worse and less forgivable than his.
SBY - I think this is probably because your H doesn't understand how much his A's hurt you. Your pain is filtered by his pain about your A's. As madhatters, you both need your platforms to speak and process things as both a BS and a WS. It's not about competition, but processing all of the separate hurts. You both have each of these roles.
There's been a few times when my wife has expressed her hurt about being betrayed by me when I was her boyfriend, and this voice in my head starts to say, "Yeah, but...", and then I have to interrupt myself and say, yeah, but I did do that. A betrayal is a betrayal is a betrayal. I better not throw any rocks, or else the whole house may come down.
There may be differences in how you have to help each other heal because of the individual consequences of each A, but either way, it's a betrayal.
As long as you are owning both parts, I think you are on the right track, and I hope your H can get there as well.
Hang in there!
As a person in a technical field, I have to say I face this challenge too in a different way. My job is to quantify things, it's how my brain operates. So my urge, especially right after DDay, to somehow assign a hypothetical numerical value to our A's and his Sex Addiction was strong. But I fought it and continue to do so.
We aren't going to make it over this mountain by pointing fingers. Gotta work together. Some days are harder than others but we keep at it.
Also SBY I think you brought up a great point I've been chewing on lately.
forgiveness doesn't mean it quits hurting
Forgiveness is not the same as R and is not the same as trust. My H and I have said to each other that we forgive each other. Check. R? Still a work in progress, so no check quite yet there. And trust? That is going to be the last guy to show up to the party, but we need to get there.
I understand you feeling like it is too soon to draw your line in the sand. That comes from a place of guilt, I did this so I have to give this person a chance as well. Only you can learn what your boundaries are with this. I think as you begin to get more healthy you will begin to see that what is happening is not a healthy dynamic.
As to the women he is texting, maybe you can just let them know that they are texting a married man and you are his wife and leave it at that. If your H resumes texting with them or others I would think that would give you an answer as to where he is at mentally right now.
Have you asked him about going to MC with you so that maybe some of this could be hashed out in MC? I sense he is incredibly angry at you for what you did and is picking a very unhealthy coping mechanism to deal with it. One that is very dangerous.
I cry when he leaves for work. Its pathetic.
It sounds like he is cake eating and feeling entitled. These other women at work aren't asking for him to open up emotionally and do hard work to repair a M with him... they are just in it for the attention and whatever cheap validation comes with an intra-office A. On a very surface level, that sounds easy and appealing, so he is doing it because that sounds like a better deal to him.
If our souls were bank accounts, he is not working on refilling his bank account. He's at zero balance and just coasting around on credit and it will catch up at some point. You may or may not be able to wait around for it. You might have to bail him out. Or declare bankruptcy with him.
All you can control is you and the work you're doing on yourself. It sounds like you are taking great steps to fix yourself and make yourself a safe spouse again, so just keep up the good work there. Use your accomplishments there to give you the strength to keep going. Hang in there.
