gtj 10 | Apr 22, 2013In 2005 the installation of wood floors hit a 40-year all-time high in the United States. Now, more than ever, consumers are turning to wood flooring, as well as laminate and tile, as a flooring solution for the home. While the initial investment in pine, oak, maple, or cherry floors is higher than that for carpet, the long-term savings makes wood flooring an attractive choice. Read homeowner reviews on floor laying and refinishing and find the floor that works best in your home.

Hell of a starting 5!!! To cap off his 49th birthday week President Obama hosted a basketball game on Sunday in Washington D.C. alongside some of the greats to entertain troops who have been wounded in war.
Obama is said to have stayed in the gym for about 2 hours but no reporters were allowed in because the Prez just wanted to play.
Some have said that the president is out of touch with the American people. Harlem, do you thing the president in touch or out of touch with the American people?

Vanity Fair Full Slip 22 Inch Lace Trimmed 1010322Vanity Fair Full Slip 22 Inch Lace Trimmed 1010322This full slip is one of our best sellers. Made of 100% nylon.
HerRoom Fitter's Comments:
• Sizing Chart • General Sizing Information: What's My Size? Full Slip 22 Inch Lace Trimmed Customer ReviewsSubmit your own review
Size: 34
I agree with other reviewers that this is a lovely slip. It fits true to size and is lux in look and feel. Sure to become a favorite. Fran from Seattle/WA/USA
Size: 36
Got it for my girl friend, perfect fit,a great retro look, just like mad men. KVR from Warren,nj usa
Size: 42
The garment is very comfortable and perfect for me. It fits very well. I will purchase it again. Won from Orlando/Florida/United States
Size: 40
The slip was exactly as advertised and just perfect. Thank you for continuing to make them. I went into every store in the mall and discount stores and they just don't carry these type of slips anymore. I had even ordered one from another catalog but had to return it because it didn't fit or look like the one in the book. That's when I searched online and found you! Thank you again! June from Avon Park, FL, USA
Size: 34
love it and want the one in black... years ago i found a similar slip from a company called Bradley and from then on i started wearing slips ... one issue is that the 36 was too big and the 34 is a bit tight if i wear a form fitted bra otherwise fab! DnotG from Seoul, South Korea
Size: 42
I would think that a full slip would fall below the knees. This one didn't. I don't wear short dresses. I will be returning the slip. I was not at all impressed. Vanity Fair Response: We offer different slip lengths 22"-24"26" below the waist. The consumer may choose the appropriate length according to their height and dress preferences. One suggestion would be Vanity Fair 32 Inch Spin Slip 1015832. Rae from Wexford/PA/USA
Size: 38
This slip was packaged with purple paper...as I was getting a gift..how thoughtful. Thank you for the great packaging and great service. Will definitely order from you again. Marianne from Granite City, Ill
Size: 38
Very nice item; full slips seem to be no longer available in stores (half slips too, I discovered on Saturday). Good quality, true to size, prompt delivery, good price. morganminpin from Fallbrook, CA USA
Size: 42
This is a great slip. It's a classic. The lace V neck is a sexy and feminine compliment to the line of your bra and the weightless ribbon straps are easily adjustable. The only problem is that they sometimes tend to slip off of your shoulders. But, a minor issue. The soft nylon makes everything else you put on on top just slide on and feel good. Besides, for me, being taller and a little bigger, it fits so very well and it is a joy to wear. Some of the other slips may be more elegant, but you can't beat this one for price, fit and feel. VFCD from USA
Size: 40
i love this slip, my girls are 38d's and in the past i like a slip with a little room so i bought the 40 and i love it ,the nylon fabric is so soft and so vintage . it hard to find real nylon slips ... danielle from syracuse
Size: 38
Excellent product. Very elegant and good fit. Mavis from Lancashire UK
Size: 42
It fits nice and the fabric is strong. Has a nice feel. Aubrey from Dallas TX, USA

Health Information
Phototherapy for Jaundice in Newborns
Topic Overview
Reference Phototherapy Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window is the most common treatment for reducing high Reference bilirubin Opens New Window levels that cause Reference jaundice in a newborn Opens New Window.
In the standard form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib (incubator) and is exposed to a type of fluorescent light that is absorbed by your baby's skin. During this process, the bilirubin in the baby's body is changed into another form that can be more easily excreted in the stool and urine.
A baby with jaundice may need to stay under a phototherapy light for several days. Phototherapy doesn't damage a baby's skin.
During this type of phototherapy:
- The baby is undressed so that as much of the skin as possible is exposed to the light.
- The baby's eyes are covered to protect the nerve layer at the back of the eye (Reference retina Opens New Window) from the bright light.
- Feeding should continue on a regular schedule. There is no need to stop breast-feeding.
- The bilirubin level is measured at least once a day.
Potential problems that may occur during this standard form of phototherapy include:
- Skin rash.
- Damage to the nerve layer at the back of the eye (retina), if the eyes are not properly protected.
- Reference Dehydration Opens New Window, if the infant does not receive adequate fluids when feeding.
- Difficulty in maintaining the proper body temperature.
Another type of phototherapy is a fiber-optic blanket or a band. These devices wrap around a baby and can be used at home. Although fiber-optic phototherapy has been shown to reduce bilirubin levels, it takes longer than conventional phototherapy done in a hospital setting. It can be a good alternative for babies with mild jaundice who are otherwise healthy.
If your baby is being treated at home for jaundice, it is important that you understand how to use all the equipment. Ask your health professional for help if you have questions or concerns. A home health nurse may visit to make sure all is going well. The amount of bilirubin in your baby's blood may need to be measured daily.

A BIG CONGRATS on 700 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Virginia GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks!

We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )

On the way to a hotel on Waikiki wearing canvas shoes, Sea Island cotton socks, heavy linen trousers, a white Smedley tee and a linen overshirt to provide pockets.
Needless to say, this trip is about as casual as life gets - but even a relaxed man needs pockets. Wallet, Blackberry, eyeglass and sunglass cases, money clip, handkerchief and business cards each require their place to roost. The linen shirt is unlined ten ounce stuff by Scabal.

Superb casual look. I go for a similar look in summer myself, except I replace the shirt with a safari jacket and am never seen without a cravat.
Speaking of summer, I live in an area of Australia where we routinely reach 105-110 fahrenheit during summer, with little humidity. Even the lightest suit materials seem too heavy, can you offer any advice? - April 8, 2009 at 7:36:00 AM PDT

When it's a 105 out, I'm hot in a pool wearing a bathing suit. Will nice look, its nice to see you in rubber soled shoes.

You are overdressed for Hawaii, Maybe not downtown Waikiki, but certainly Maui, or the Big Island. Shorts, no socks, and a linen shirt short sleeves. Who needs business cards unless you are going for business. One eyeglass case for both glasses.

Will, why the choice of canvas shoes? My first and last instinct would be to wear loafers or some other casual shoe (boat shoes for example).

Please, please wear a hat and advise other to do likewise--particularly in a tropical environment. Skin cancer is deadly.
- April 8, 2009 at 3:09:00 PM PDT
- Will said...
Charles, I think the canvas shoes lower the formality of the ensemble.
And Tony, I am in Waikiki so even by your definition I am not over-dressed. :-) - April 8, 2009 at 6:57:00 PM PDT
- Horatio said...
Nice ensemble. You look both happy and relaxed. However, I really really really agree with Greg: please wear a broad-brimmed straw hat! Too many tourists get horribly sunburned on their first or second day, and spend the rest of their trip in their hotel rooms, writhing in agony and unable to go outside during the day. White skin just isn't made for the tropics.
"Downtown" and "Waikiki" are two different districts of Honolulu; they are separated by Ala Moana and Kaka'ako. IMHO, Will could go anywhere on Oahu except Downtown or a nice restaurant and not look out of place (except for his lack of tan ;-) For Downtown, he'd really need an aloha shirt and a pair of darkish slacks, along with either loafers or lace-ups (in calf, of course--suede is too casual). - April 8, 2009 at 10:29:00 PM PDT

Submitted by WIKY News on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 5:54pm
The number of Indiana children who died from abuse or neglect has increased. The Department of Child Services say many of the deaths involved social issues that the department can't control. There were 40 deaths from abuse or neglect in 2011, which is up from 25 the previous year. It's the first year of a statewide hotline to report abuse and neglect. Nearly half the deaths from abuse were children under a year old.

Man arrested for allegedly threatening Henderson HS
Submitted by WIKY News on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 10:05am
A young man has been arrested on terroristic threatening charges, after he allegedly made statements about using explosives at Henderson County High School. Extra security is being provided at the school after 20-year-old Brenden Mathis was arrested. Henderson Police say a witness overheard a conversation and took a photo of Mathis telling a juvenile how he could use explosives at the school. The witness then contacted police and provided officers with a photo of Mathis. The Henderson County School District assures parents that the school is safe.
Chicago power outages raise gas prices
Submitted by WIKY News on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 11:19am
Gas prices have seen a spike in Indiana over the last few days, and one expert says it's due to problems in Chicago. Patrick DeHaan of GasBuddy.com says massive power outages in that area forced the shutdown of refineries and pipelines that carry gasoline through Indiana. DeHann says it's hard to say when prices will settle back down, but says it won't happen until traders regain confidence in the market.
Evansville Police have confidence in security cooperations
Submitted by WIKY News on Sat, 04/20/2013 - 8:23am
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, Evansville's Police Department is paying attention to how Massachusetts organized the large-scale public lockdown. Sergeant Jason Cullum says he is confidence the department could work with local, state, and federal agencies if a similar serious event occurred in Evansville. Cullum says law enforcement officials stay already updated on the best ways to improve event security, by doing an annual review of security and giving daily briefings to officers working events.

Congressman Larry Buschon tells WIKY News that he supports the decison of Gov. Mike Pence to proceed cautiously on the proposed fertilizer plant at Mount Vernon. Buschon says questions must be answered about the involvement of Fatima, a Pakistani company, as a major part of the project. And Buschon is concerned about safety, following the blast that killed several persons and left 60 unaccounted for --and probably dead -- at West, Texas. Valley Watch President John Blair raises questions about the safety of the Mount Vernon project, and a similar undertaking at Rockport.

Police now believe a false call about a gunman at Evansville Day School in February and a bank robbery that same day were connected. Police say phone records indicate 43-year-old John Martinez made the hoax call to divert police away from the robbery that happened a half-hour later at the Fifth Third branch on Weinbach. Martinez is now expected to face charges of intimidation and false informing on top of charges related to the hold-up.

Lander University says a drop in enrollment is forcing it to consider a tuition increase, job cuts and less money for athletics.
School officials tell News 4 that because of an expected drop in enrollment this coming fall, they're dealing with a $1.2 million dollar budget shortfall, so it's time to make some changes.
Lander says, compared to last year, 68 fewer students are expected in Fall 2013.
The university plans to cut its athletic scholarship budget by $50,000, which may raise questions for those like freshman Chandler Ayers who came to Lander for that reason.
"I was looking to play golf in college and had a good opportunity to come here," Ayers said.
Student Tanner Poore says he's already seen his bill go up.
"Tuition went up probably $2,000 since last school year, so it's a pretty big increase," Poore said.
A tuition increase for the 2013-2014 school year would require approval from Lander's Board of Trustees. The board is scheduled to meet in June.
Students also say they chose Lander over other options, in part because of its size and location.
Leonard Lovett said, "Basically, my friends, some of them stay at Clemson and South Carolina. And they're trying to get me to come. But I didn't want to go."

Fresno County Sheriff's detectives are investigating two bodies that were found in the Tarpey Village area near Clovis.
The bodies were found inside a home at the 4100 block of N. Hammel Way. Detectives are treating this case as a homicide investigation.
Investigators say neighbors called 911 at around 3:30 p.m. Monday, after finding the bodies in the home.
A postman contacted neighbors after noticing there hadn't been any activity at the home for several days. Mail had not been taken and a number of newspapers had been left outside.
Fresno County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Curtice explained, "Neighbors went through a back door that was unlocked. They discovered 2 bodies both diseased and appeared they have been there for some time. They backed out."
Fresno County Sheriff's detectives believe the bodies have been there for almost a week. They believe the two bodies are males. Detectives have not yet released their identities.

Too Much Fashion Can Play You A Bad Joke At Your Workplace Especially during the period of crisis
Posted 28 March 2012 - 10:49 AM
Even perfection can become a victim of prejudice, and all those who told us that they appreciate our individuality and personal qualities might prove to be liars. In times of crisis all this gives way to good old-fashioned and neutral colors, especially when it comes to job interview.
First, you better hide your personality and make a good impression by showing humility and willingness to work, and only after this eventually you will be able to use your individual creativity. But even then there is no guarantee because unfortunately, and very frequently, the office is not a place for individualism but for robots that take more and more work and do not complain.
But even flawless appearance can sometimes give us a poor professional service. Perfect style could spoil our chances of obtaining a more "manly" job. This would mean that well-groomed men are victims of discrimination when applying for a position for which the outward appearance is not among the top five requirements.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 11:25 AM
so, how to dress then? being creative is bad, being like others is not good either..
Posted 28 March 2012 - 11:53 AM
I think you shouldn't care of what people around you say about your style Feel free to wear exactly those things you feel comfy in!
Posted 04 July 2012 - 10:24 AM
Yes, I also agree with the fact that we shouldn't care about others that what are they gonna think of our dressing and fashion. Just wear what you like to and what makes you feel comfortable.

text: Pride of Lions is carrying on their proud heritage working hard on their as yet untitled fourth studio album. Jim Peterik says: "Our self titled debut released in 2002 is still many of our fans favorite albums. So this album is a bit of a return to form. Of course there will be a few surprises and Toby Hitchcock is singing stronger than ever. I've hit a stride on the songwriting with songs such as "Tie Down The Wind" and "Coin of the Realm". I needed the time since The Roaring of Dreams to regroup and get reinspired. If you can't make a great record that will last the test of time - why even bother. This time Toby and me wanna take Pride of Lions on the road to promote this new one and spread the word". This new Pride of Lions from what we've heard so far promises to be both more melodic and harder edged. Release is planned for early summer 2012."

Brian Landwehr of UnitedHealthcare talked about their new partnership with Konami, the gaming company to bring the Dance, Dance Revolution Classroom Edition into schools. This is part of the UnitedHealthcare's Activate Program which also includes dietary and mental health curriculum. The idea is to increase kids physical activity by using something they are already doing, playing video games. The program is tied into each school current curriculum. The student and their parents along with the school can track the student's progress throughout the year.
At the present time this program is being introduced by UnitedHealthcare into schools that they already have a partnership with. These schools are being used to pilot the program. However the Dance, Dance Revolution Classroom Edition is also available at retail stores and through Konami who will work with directly with school systems.

| What's your TOP goals for 2011?
Well 2010 is done with. 2011 is just around the corner and I just heard Steve's podcast on Purpose and am currently working on my Specific action plans for 2011. I want 2011 to be my best year. All the tools have been gathered (Found Steve in June 2010, got an mp3 player to listen to podcasts and audio books, joined Toastmasters, made it a habit to get up at 5). As of now I haven't figured how best I can contribute. Before even thinking about contributing, I feel the need to grow as discussed by Steve in his 1st podcast. So the one and only priority for me in 2011 is to grow GROW in every possible way. By the end of 2011 I want these to be manifested. 1) A bodyweight of 70kg and sick free throughout the year 2) A great Communicator - (Just did my Icebreaker in Toastmasters. I aim to finish the CC manual) 3) To have a great number of friends who are interested in PD and growth. 4) If the bell chimes and the bulbs glow when I see a girl, to fall in love with her and experience human relationship in depth 5) The first Rupee/Dollar by means of a side hustle These are just a few things. I'll come up with more specific goals and action plans when I'm done with the exercise on finding the purpose and examining the health status of the 12 items that Steve listed in his 2nd Podcast (Health,Social, Finance, Spiritual, Family, Fun, Mind etc..) I can't wait to know how the December of 2011 will turn out for me!! Please use this thread to discuss your Goals and Intentions for 2011. |

Strange may it seem, but my top goal for this year is "lot of time for my son". He is struggling with studies (mild dyslexia) and has some social adjustment challenges. I was away from him for about one and a half year, so he missed the support that he needed from parent. Any how, no matter what, I'll be there for him this year. And I am making this intention public. There are number of other goals; one being to read at least ten 8+ books. 8+ is my grading system and a book has to be really good to be graded 8+. |

My overall "goal" for 2011 is Connection. That translates into: Career: * get my website off to a great start, offer coachings, write more articles, write my ebook, do an audio program. Connection with my "customers" Relationships: * Create an abundance of friendships that actually live close by, who are open minded, interesting, interested etc. Connection with more awesome people. * Create one or 2 very close friends with whom I can express my liking physically (or, in other words: friends with benefits ) Connection in a physical sense * Start a family; how that is going to effect goal nr. 2 I'm not sure yet... I'm not going to plan, just see where life takes me. Connection with a new human being Health: * Create more abundance in the health area of my life! Become more fit, get ill less often. Connection with my body |

I want to give back more. I will give 5% of all incomes to charity. I will kick my butt at work and find ways to get my art out there. I will keep improving the relationships in my life, in particular with my family and with my partner. I will show more gratitude |

I will make the most of the opportunities for supplementing my income providing massage service at my new home when I move in, 3 weeks from now, with the generous offer from my new house mate to use her professional massage room and bed. Most grateful for that one. I will be spending less time on the forum and more time painting and creating and writing stories and scripts. I will be saving as much money as possible to travel and will finish my english teaching course. I will be spending more time practising Tarot and using my intuitive empathic abilities in some sort of life coaching/counselling capacity. |

1. Relationships - I will connect with friends, family, my wife on a deeper level and new friends will come into my life. So far, being authentic has been tremendous in this respect. 2. Health - I will continue my exercise routine (Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun - 40 mins) and eat healthy. 3. Challenges - I will finish what I start and do what I say I will do. Currently, I have a long history of intending something and backing out at the last minute or simply not finishing. I guess I'll call that my focus. A couple of specific goals that are important to me: Relationships -attend at least three Big Brothers, Big Sisters social events -keep in touch with my friends (e-mail, phone call, meet for lunch) Challenges -go through the Master Practitioner NLP course -learn to canoe -learn to dance -practice singing daily That's all I've got for now I was hoping for someone to start this thread! |

2011 will be the last year in a five year plan that I set in motion right after my divorce. In the depths of all the tragedy that I was facing at the time, for some reason I mapped out five areas in which I would like to master by the time I was 30 years old. In that list was: 1. Taking care of and moving beyond the divorce (which involved cleaning out the house we were in, separating our stuff, finishing the legality part of things, and sort the emotions I was facing at the time). 2. Fixing my finances and building a new financial plan based on a more solid foundation. 3. Lose weight and find ways in which to be healthier and more vital and have more energy. 4. Make new friends and create a new social life for myself. 5. Find a new career, something that inspires and fulfils me. Five years later, how did I do? The first four I met and exceeded with flying colors, and the last one I'm still sorting. Funny enough, it took me a year to focus on and move beyond each of them. And then when I had mastered a certain plan for them, I moved onto the next one and took my focus off the others. That is, the success I found in each one individually, kinda backtracked and lost ground in each as I moved onto a new focus. The reason I mention all of that is because my number one goal for 2011 is to round out those 5 areas and Integration of all them in a more balanced manner. So my top goal for 2011 is Finishing up my five year goals, Balance and Integration. |

I have several goals, but they all point to one thing- spending quality time with my daughter. Career- just purchased the 2 for 1 SBI. Going to give it everything to earn a living on- line and quit my job- so that I can spend more time with my girl. Fitness- improve my fitness and lose weight- so I have more energy to spend with my little lady. A few other things, but they all point to Faith |

I was going to make this thread, so thank you for starting it! 2011 will be the greatest year of my life! The past few years have been about really figuring out who I really want to become, and I have a fairly good grasp of what that is. This year will be about getting my self in gear, and actually making it happen. We need solid concrete goals, a goal that is worded in the present, and is stated in such a manner that we know exactly when we have reached it. At the end of 2011.... 1)I have created 100 unique content pages for my website. 2)My website is making enough monthly income to sustain myself. 3)I have saved $14k liquid outside of investment savings. 4)I have quit my job, and live off savings, side business, and website. 5)I have read 12 personal development books. 6)I have completed all dental work, and my teeth, and gum's are excellent. 7)I have taken at least 1 full 7 day vacation to the beach. 8)I have fasted to completion, and feel renewed, and energized. 9)I am completely healed, and free of pain. 10)I am healthy & fit.10% bf,50 pushups,20 pullups at once. Good blood work. |

Hello there! My name is Dominik, but I am known in certain areas as Belthazzar, hence the nickname. I am from Slovakia and Im studying on Masaryks University, in Czech Republic first year of informatics. Ive been reading these forums for couple hours today and so I decided this thread is great to make my first post :) Since very end of the year, I have discovered guy named Carlos Xuma, while googling "Why all girls refuse me" and his book about dating and being "alpha" which is idea I really liked and so decided to become one of this kind of population. Thats why Im setting up some goals a bit higher. 1. Pass smoothly to the second year of college. I guess most important on the list and only one I find unthinkable to not fulfill. 2. Lose my virginity with someone I can proudly call "a girlfriend" I was chasing down a single girl for 4 years so far, so I couldn't "get laid" while on high school. And I refuse to lose it to some drunk hoe at the party. But hey, Im just 18 years old, so no worries. 3. Get into shape. It means enough muscle mass to feel attractive without shirt on the beach and lose 10-15kg of fat. This is more short-term, since I want to do it till summer to fully enjoy it :P I already signed up for gym and swimming and I reduced calories intake by 30% so far without worrying about random pizza threw in. Great thing is that one of my best friends decided to do same thing so we can support each other. 4. Buy my own car. Ultimate financial target. Well, ultimate is to earn enough to buy an apartment and become rich enough my dear parents wont have to pay for my stuff. Main thing is that I want to do it my way. For my own work. Because I have natural problems with autorities :D. But I think my projects will give me more money then some random freshman part-time job. What are they? Game development for iPhones! 5. and 6. are tied together, so... Make a movie and make it good enought to win local short-movie festival. I have enrolled "Basics of film-making" this semester, since movies are my second biggest hobby, where first part is about writting script and, in second semester, we will make them. From about ~30-40 scripts, only about 20 got approved for second semester, mine was one of them, so yay, and teacher said that usually just half gets finished. So I want to be in the higher half. And course is finished by short-movie festival, where best one is picked. And I want mine to be the best. (I hope this will also increase my abilities as a story teller in the games, since my biggest game design idols are Hideo Kojima and Chris Metzen) 7. Win huge World of Warcraft TCG event. I am currently one of local champions (but not best), but I can feel I have potential to be the one who wins either Realms (4 countries - tournament), DMFs (once-every-two-months world event, always in different city), Nationals (national championship) or even Continentals (European championship). Wish me luck :) 8. Travel to either E3 or Leipzig for Games Convention. I am huge gamer, my life-goal is to be the best Game Designer. And I want to meet those people, shake their hands and sit down for a chat. I hope that till this point, Ill have success on iOS platform and so, Ill have some minor recognision as a game designer, which instantly brings topics to talk about with those people. 9. Read some of the books. Its mostly classic I skipped on high school and I regret. My main goals currently are Puzo's Godfather, Dostojevskij's Idiot and Heller's Catch 22 (and my huge embarassement in geek society, Lord of the Rings trilogy). 10. Quit bitting my nails. Its damn annyoing... and I just cant stop doing it :D Last edited by Belthazzar; 12-26-2010 at 01:33 AM. |

| My top goals for 2011 My major immediate goal for 2011 is to land a good job so I can start building up some income. I've been out of work for 2 years, so it'll be difficult, but I can do it. I've already started a 90-day plan for the first 3 months, and I'm setting into motion some work with with time-management techniques so I can be more effective not only in accomplishing this goal, but in managing my whole life. The end-goal--my dream--is to get my own apartment. But that might be a long ways off--I need to get some steady cash coming in so I can get to that level. |

I have several goals but they all point to self discovery and taking control of every aspect of my life. I broke free from a controlling, abusive relationship with a domineering man who sucked up my personal identity and I want to reclaim that in 2011. I will do this by: 1. Network with other musicians and creating music that reflects who I am 2. Write a book 3. Take charge of my physical health and appearance (diet/weight loss) 4. Become a Domestic Violence activist and help other victims of abuse 5. Visit at least one place I've never been before 6. Stay single the whole year, and celibate at least the first 6 months 7. Develop a solid financial plan and implement it |

I was nearing work-related burnout at the end of 2009 and my top priority for 2010 was to scale back work to a manageable level and get my life straightened out. That's done and I'm a very happy person nowadays. In 2011 I'd like to continue the trend and address my top wishes: -Cement the habit of early wake-up+instant wake-up. A tremendous time saver, but the holidays blew me off track. -Get lean&muscular. I'm skinny and on my way to skinny&fat. -Learn German well enough to pass an intermediate-level language exam. -And of course (and this is the biggest) do all this while maintaining my good results from 2010. |

Move out of my parents' house and work towards financial independence. I don't mind that they help me out with some things, but I would like to be as self-sufficient as possible. Improve my electric guitar playing. This goal is sort of nebulous, but it kind of has to be with music. I'd like to get some lessons and really dedicate myself. Start recording my own music. I have all the equipment, now it's just figuring out what the hell I'm doing. Those are the biggies! |

1. Get my FINANCES under control! It was something I aimed for last year, but didn't quite achieve However, it is something I really need to focus on. 2. Get my HEALTH sorted out. I'm not "unhealthy" in that I don't get sick, don't need medication etc. etc. but I'm still overweight, and I need to fix that I'm better off than I was a year ago, so there has been SOME progress, but I need to keep it consistent! 3. Spend more quality time with my kids! I think sometimes with the focus on work etc. I spend too much time sitting in front of the computer... trying to work, but sometimes just browsing . I need to get that sorted out so I can be more family oriented! 4. Get organised... sort my house out etc. get into some sort of cleaning routine that I can stick to, so things aren't so haphazard. Also, I need to find a way of motivating my kids in the same direction! Most of the time I feel like I'm taking a few steps forward and even more steps back... but 90% if not more... is because my kids make a right bloody mess, and I have to go tidy up after them! I need to find a way of getting my kids to help without me having to harp at them, or yell at them or whatever in order to pull their weight and tidy up after themselves! |

1. To love like there's no tomorrow. 2. To love like there is a tomorrow. 3. To find as many ways of doing so as possible. So none of my 2010 goals got accomplished. I think it's better to keep things simple this time around. My more specific goals are by the month now, not by the year! |

| 1. Find a new circle of friends. Most of my friends don't live nearby. We all got homes and/or jobs in different places so it's hard to meet during the year. The new friends I made that are nearby are great but they have a lot more money than me so that means I am unable to accept invitations to expensive restaurants, can't give back quality presents or have fun when it's all money orientated (not their fault but I feel inadequate). Also they don't have jobs and I find myself under pressure to make time to meet. So, I'd like to meet other friends (preferably couples) who have professional lives, like to travel (on a budget) and who we (husband and I) are totally comfortable with (to go to cinema, for a coffee, etc). 2. Write the book! I intend to write 1,000 words a day, starting today. 3. Travel more Be able to afford two weekend breaks abroad a year. Maybe Rome and Geneva this year. 4. Live more and give Self-Development less time. The past few years were growth-years. I am no where near enlightenment but considering where I started maybe this is as close as it'll get for a while. I need a break. I don't mean I need to press STOP (otherwise I'd not be here) but I need to live more what I learned and be my new self and not delve so much in theories for this and the other. 5. Meet Jon Bon Jovi Ha! Don't ask. I already manifested so much regarding the above that maybe this is the next step. Last edited by Green Lady; 01-01-2011 at 10:56 AM. |

LA Times today published a story:
Some Occupy L.A. protesters may get a lesson in free speechProsecutors say they can avoid court trials by paying $355 to a private company for an educational program. The irony is not lost on the anti-corporate activists, who see it as patronizing.
Please don't miss this excellent overview and commentary on this horrible subject:
"Perhaps Mr. Carter should just on with it and suggest that free speech that he finds egregious may be costly for the citizen. Maybe we can just privatize free speech all together, since corporations are people, and anyone who speaks out in a way that offends the corporate Gods will be charged before speaking, thus saving us all of this pesky funneling of money to private entities at the end."

Reader, I was doing it wrong. My mistakes were twofold. The first, and most important, was setting the heat too high. Making risotto requires sautéing arborio rice in butter or oil — with onions or shallots and sometimes other vegetables — and then gradually stirring in stock, waiting for each addition to be absorbed into the rice before adding the next. This slow, deliberate process simultaneously suffuses the rice with flavor and coaxes the starch out of it, giving the dish its signature creaminess. But if the heat's too high, the liquid will evaporate instead of being sopped up by the rice, stymieing your efforts to get dinner on the table in a reasonable amount of time.
Instead, keep the heat somewhere between medium-low and medium — just high enough so the stock bubbles gently when you're not stirring. Also, before you start, take note of the expiration date on your rice package — older rice tender to be drier and consequently takes longer to become tender.
My second mistake
Because the splash-and-stir technique required for risotto doesn't line up exactly with most conventional cooking techniques, it can be tricky to decide what vegetables to add to it, and when. Mushrooms are a no-brainer because they're the Jimmy Buffett of the produce aisle, superbly laid-back. You can simmer them with rice for five minutes or two hours, and their texture won't suffer one bit. Peas are another good risotto add-in, for the opposite reason: They take only a few minutes to cook through, so you can just throw them into the pot once the rice is already done.
You can of course skip these additions and keep risotto simple — to use as a pillow for pork tenderloin, perhaps — but you must not neglect one final addition: lemon. It's well established that lemon is a universally useful seasoning, but nowhere is it more useful than in risotto, where it singlehandedly keeps wonderfully rich risotto from becoming excessively heavy.
Mushroom and Pea Risotto
Yield: 6 servings
Time: About 1 hour
6 cups vegetable, chicken, or mushroom stock
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
12 ounces fresh mushrooms, preferably a mixture, trimmed and thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
1-1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
4 ounces goat cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1. Put the stock in a medium pot over low heat. Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) of the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. When it's hot, add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the mushrooms' liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the rice and stir until it dries out and begins to stick together, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring once or twice, until it's mostly absorbed into the rice. Begin adding the warm stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until each addition is mostly absorbed into the rice before adding the next. Stir frequently, and adjust the heat so the liquid simmers gently.
3. When the rice is plump and tender, after about 30 minutes of adding the stock, add the peas along with an additional 1 cup stock or water and cook, stirring frequently, until they're tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the goat cheese and Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the parsley, and the lemon zest and juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley. (Store leftover risotto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days.)

OverviewMilotic is back for another round of UU, and while it has not changed much, its environment sure has. New powerful threats, such as Roserade, Shaymin, Zapdos, and Raikou, run rampant in UU. Additionally, it faces stiff competition for a team slot from Suicune, who has superior physical bulk, and Slowbro, who has access to one of the best abilities in the game, Regenerator. Despite all this, Milotic is still heralded as one of the premier bulky Water-types in the metagame due to its fantastic stats and access to both instant recovery and phazing in the same moveset—something which neither of its competitors can achieve. This, in combination with its unique ability, Marvel Scale, and great typing, ensures that Milotic will never disappoint its trainer.
This is Milotic's bread-and-butter set since its debut in Generation 3 and works very well on every kind of team in need of a Pokemon to take on threats such as Darmanitan and Victini. Scald is the obligatory STAB and is a fantastic one to have due to that rage-inspiring 30% Burn rate. Recover is one of Milotic's main perks over Suicune, as it provides a reliable way of sticking around for a long time without resorting to Rest. Ice Beam gives Miltoic good coverage, hitting Grass-types, such as Roserade, super effectively. Dragon Tail is a very good move on tanks like Milotic, as it prevents opposing Pokemon from using it as setup bait. It's also very good at racking up residual damage through hazards set up by Milotic's teammates. Toxic lets Milotic outstall opposing defensive Pokemon with ease, and is generally useful to spread residual damage. Haze ensures your team won't be swept by last-Pokemon boosting sweepers, such as Calm Mind Slowbro or Crocune, and Baton Pass teams. Therefore, you should use it only if your team is weak to such tactics. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Milotic is arguably the best user of the RestTalk strategy in the metagame, thanks to a combination of its very well distributed stats, unique ability in Marvel Scale, and access to a phazing move. The main reason you would use this set over the previous one is to take advantage of Marvel Scale—an ability which boosts Milotic's defense by 50% when it is inflicted with status. Scald is a must on this set, as not only does it provide a reliable STAB move, but it also comes with a nifty 30% chance to Burn the opposition, which can come in handy when you're trying to wake up. The Rest + Sleep Talk combination is the primary option to keep Milotic healthy here, as the aim of this set is to take advantage of Milotic's fantastic ability by using Rest. Finally, Dragon Tail is what makes this set truly great, as it eliminates one big problem that most other users of this strategy suffer—they become setup bait. With Dragon Tail, this becomes much less of an issue. In addition to that, this move also allows Milotic to spread residual damage around the opponent's team, when used in conjunction with entry hazards, of course. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>Other OptionsMilotic has a decently sized movepool, which means there are a few alternative options one might consider when building a team. Dragon Pulse, for example, has good neutral coverage with Scald and is Milotic's best way to hit Kingdra. Hidden Power Grass or Electric can be used to hit Lanturn and Empoleon super effectively, respectively. Hypnosis can take one of Milotic's counters out of commission, but it is risky due to the primary ones, Roserade and Shaymin, having Natural Cure. Light Screen, Psych Up, Mirror Coat, and Protect are all good moves which you can use if your team is in need of such support. An offensive set holding Life Orb and employing any four of Hydro Pump or Surf, Hidden Power Grass or Electric, Dragon Pulse, Recover, and Ice Beam can be used, but it won't be as effective as it was in the previous generation due to the metagame being much faster and stronger now. Finally, one of Milotic's biggest assets is undoubtedly Marvel Scale, so the use of its Dream World ability, Cute Charm, is discouraged. Checks and CountersWithout a doubt, Shaymin and Roserade are easily the number one counters to any Milotic set, as they resist its STAB, have good Special Defense to tank stray Ice Beams, posses Natural Cure to relieve status, and can blast it with their powerful Grass-type STAB. Zapdos and Raikou dislike status, but they are huge threats to Milotic nonetheless. The former has Roost to heal off any damage it takes and the latter can set up a Substitute and proceed to set up Calm Mind safely behind it. Snorlax has enough Special Defense to take anything Milotic throws at it and usually carries Rest to heal itself when it needs to. However, if Milotic carries Dragon Tail, it's unlikely that Snorlax will ever be able to wake up against it. Substitute sweepers are a big threat to Milotic if it can't break the plush dolls in one hit. Substitute + Dragon Dance Kingdra in particular can set up on non-Haze Milotic and become a huge threat pretty quickly. Empoleon doesn't mind being burned by Scald, is immune to Toxic, and can pummel Milotic with Grass Knot in return. Dry Skin Jynx can safely come in on any move Milotic can use, bar Dragon Tail and Toxic, and proceed to set up on any set lacking Haze or simply put Milotic to sleep with Lovely Kiss. Mew doesn't mind being burned by Scald, and can proceed to set up Nasty Plot or simply outstall Milotic with Taunt. |

SciFriday: Acting Is Usually About Being Someone Else
That is why they call it 'acting,' right?
All I can think of is that Madonna is the cause of so much of our discourse in the world. Seriously.
In the mid-1990s, producers were looking for someone to play a singer who slept her way to the top and couldn't act for a little film they were doing called "Evita." And the first person that came to mind was a singer who pretended to sleep her way to the top, and probably really can't act, and they found Madonna.
Now I kid Madonna ... a big fan (of her music, and of "Evita," but that's about it). But it just seems to me that ever since that casting, people have it in their mind that if you are looking for someone to play a certain character, you better look in that character's community first.
That's what I get from the whole hubbub over "Snow White & the Huntsmen." If you haven't heard, Little People of America have denounced the film for not using, well, "little people" (I hate to use that term) as dwarves in the movie.
Instead, "Snow White" had the likes of Ian McShane and Bob Hoskins play a couple of the famed Seven Dwarfs -- and they're not exactly, well, dwarfs in real life.
Actor Warwick Davis (from Star Wars and Harry Potter fame) puts it this way:
"Considering the vast experience of many short actors working in the film industry today, I think it inexcusable that in casting for 'Snow White & the Huntsman,' producers did not utilize this pool of talent," Davis told E! Online. "My colleague Peter Dinklage won an Emmy for his performance in 'Game of Thrones,' proving that short actors need roles that will not only challenge them, but allow them to express themselves as actors in their own right. It is not acceptable to 'black up' as a white actor, so why should it be acceptable to 'shrink' an actor to play a dwarf?"
I agree in part -- Dinklage definitely deserves the Emmy he got for "Game of Thrones," and future accolades. But he got that for being a great actor, not for being "little." And yes, I also feel that sometimes the great acting pool that does exist among this particular community is underutilized, but I don't think that a short character necessarily means that you have to have a short actor.
Movies and television work hard to play with the height of actors all the time. You watch Patrick Stewart or William Shatner on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" or "Star Trek," and you would imagine them as strong, tall, characters played by strong, tall actors. But you would be wrong. Stewart is 5-foot-10 (and I think that IMDb is being a little generous there), and Shatner is 5-foot-9-1/2. Yet that's not how they are shot.
I also think that talking about blackface is the wrong context to make here. Are we saying that only black people should play black characters? Someone should call Jon Hamm's agent for his recent (mocking) blackface portrayal on "30 Rock." And do I need to bring up Robert Downey Jr.?
Only gay people can play gay characters? Well, damn, Eric McCormack, shame on you. And gay actors playing straight characters? Someone get Neil Patrick Harris off "How I Met Your Mother."
And only women can play women, or men can play men? I don't have to look much further than John Travolta ("Hairspray"), Dustin Hoffman ("Tootsie") or even Glenn Close ("Albert Knobbs") for that.
I made this argument before when it came to disabled Americans calling for "Glee" to replace Kevin McHale with someone who really was bound to a wheelchair. Why? Shouldn't it be the best actor gets the job?
Yes, I know, I'm a bit wishy-washy on this subject, especially since I once joined George Takei to call for more Asian actors to be cast in a live-action version of "Akira." So maybe I don't feel as strong as others might on this topic.
I feel, however, that it hurts causes like those that Little People of America are trying to fight when they say only their community can play characters that are not at full height. It calls for special treatment, and takes away from the fact that acting is, well, acting, which means you are usually playing a character that is much different from yourself.
The real discussion here is that actors in various minority communities still get overlooked far too often. And while we have come a very long way, there is still a lot of road ahead of us. We win this battle by calling for equality, not for special treatment. That's the only way we win this battle.
